WSG meets to discuss draft policy WEEKENDER STAFF A meeting between city staff and members of the Wetlands Stakeholder Group (WSG) on Monday afternoon to discuss a draft proposal of section 3.2.5 for the City of Ottawa’s Official Plan (OP) resulted in emotions running high as the meeting wore on. The draft, which head of the Goulbourn Landowners Association Terry Hale says he likes, proposes that the city “in consultation with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) will evaluate the wetland status of lands within the Flewellyn Special Policy Area following the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES) approximately five years following the completion of drainage works targeted for 2009.” “It basically puts us back to the agreement in 2006,” said Hale the day after the meeting. “Judy (Flavin, a program manager with the City) will take this policy back and the few comments that were made and the suggestions made and tweak it a bit and get back to us with her final version of it.” Hale explained the steps through the next month, prior to a meeting of Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) on Nov. 27.
“Sometime between now and the end of November, the city has to talk to municipal affairs and housing and MNR about this and get their feelings on it. "Because when they report back to ARAC they have to know what the provincial reaction is going. The whole official plan has to go to ARAC at that point and this is part of; it has to be pretty well finalized by then. In the meantime, we’re still working with MNR trying to get this whole mess straightened up.” While the wording of the actual proposal will likely change between now and the ARAC meeting – Flavin took suggestions from members of the WSG during the meeting – the idea remains that drainage construction projects could change (or revert) lands to what the MNR considers not wetlands. The OP would then be changed to reflect whatever lands MNR designates as “provincially-significant wetlands” at that time. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Glenn Brooks attended most of the meeting and explained that he wants to see forward movement on the proposal and on the issue. “I’ve sat around this table with many of the same people for three years,” he said. “And I feel like we’re still on square one.”

Crash sends one to hospital
Fire crews, police and paramedics responded to a single-vehicle accident on Donnelly Drive near Burritts Rapids shortly after 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning after a woman driving a red car left the road, flipped over and struck a hydro pole before coming to a stop on the vehicle's roof. Few details were available by press time but police at the scene said the woman was taken to hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries. Bruce Webster of the Rural Council of Ottawa Carleton is worried that more delays will occur with the drainage project, which will keep adding costs to the project.
“This has gone on for three years,” he said. “It’s ridiculous. All it’s doing is adding cost, aggravation and more flooding to these property owners.” The issue that keeps sur-
facing is simple: Many of the landowners believe their lands should never have been considered as “significant wetlands” in the first place. History of the land shows that the construction
of Hwy. 7 changed the flow of different rivers, but that’s in the past. For now, the target date remains as Nov. 27 when ARAC meets next to finalize OP amendments.

BOLO: BE ON THE LOOKOUT for a green 1997 Plymouth Voyager van with Quebec licence 564WAG. The green colored van was involved in a suspicious incident at the Apple Orchard on Jockvale Rd. and Prince of Wales Dr., where a caller noticed an unidentified male standing by a car that had its car alarm sounding. When the caller asked the male what he was doing he said “nothing” and took off running. The male then jumped into a waiting van with two other unidentified males and sped off. The men are described as Caucasian males in their late 20’s to mid 30’s, and the in-
volved male was described as having a shaved head with a bit of dark brown stubble, unshaven dark brown facial hair, and a red mark or scar above the right eye. Neighborhood Watches, if you spot this vehicle call OPS at 613-230-6211 and let the dispatcher know the five W’s regarding the suspicious vehicle. WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO? THESE BOOTS WEREN’T MEANT FOR WALKING AND THERE’S NO BUS SERVICE TO RICHMOND.

The complainant stated that he locked his doors before running into Best Buy.

Rash of animal escapes answers age old question A few hours later, police attended the dead end of Ottawa St., for a reported recovered stolen vehicle. On examination of the vehicle, the officer noted that the vehicle was sitting in the long grass with the roof and dash area showing signs of damage, and the stereo and speakers pulled out. Further, the ignition appeared intact and the doors locked. Two sets of foot prints were observed near the vehicle. One was reported as a size 6 or 7 female Phat Farm shoes, and the other, a size 12 or 13 Nike Shox shoe. ANOTHER HEAD SHAKING MOMENT On Monday Oct. 13th, police attended the North Gower Marlborough Public School for a mischief to property incident that occurred over the past weekend. Sometime between 11 p.m. on Friday and 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Monday, unknown suspects entered onto the school property and smashed in eight windows, two exterior lights, and one door window to a portable. Because rocks or other flying objects weren’t found inside of the school, it is suspected that hockey sticks or baseball bats were used to smash in the windows. Now, if you don’t think that is enough, at some point, the unknown suspects set a picnic table on fire under the over hang, at the rear of the school building, and burnt it down to a few pieces of scrap wood. Damages to the school property are estimated at over $4000. MOO-VE OVER PLEASE A complainant reported that cattle were milling about on Mansfield Rd. and she was afraid that they might cause an accident. The complainant was able to scare off most of the cattle, but three of them refused
to [moooove] over. WHY DID THE COWS CROSS THE ROAD? Perhaps they were trying to get to the other side. A complainant reported on Oct. 12th, that 50 cows escaped from a field near Car Canada and were making a break for it. Perhaps they were heading over to Mansfield Rd. A BLEATING MOMENT. A patrol officer attended Crawford Side Rd. for a Bylaw animal complaint, involving goats. On scene, the officer found 15 lost goats without a shepherd, lounging around in the middle of the roadway. Calls were made through dispatch to local residences, asking if they were missing a few goats. Theft: Oct. 10 6 6 9 2 Rideau Valley Dr., Kars: The Kars School reported an ongoing problem with youths hanging out on school property during the early evening hours, attempting to break into the school or cause mischief.

THERE'S NOT ALWAYS BLAME TO PLACE Whenever a child dies a sudden death under tragic circumstances, the immediate reaction of many people is to figure out who to blame for allowing such a thing to happen. Often, negligence or malice are to blame. Sometimes, they are not. In the case of eight-year-old Eline Ilunga, the little girl who drowned at a Kanata wave pool over the weekend, it seems as though the latter applies. It will be sometime before the public knows exactly how the little girl ended up floating face-down, without vital signs at the popular recreation complex. So far, however, signs seem to be pointing towards Eline's death being a freak accident. A tragic one, to be sure, but an accident nonetheless. Based on the details that have been released, it appears lifeguards at the pool – there was the required five on duty – reacted quickly and appropriately when they notice the motionless child. The trained staff administered CPR before an automatic external defibrillator was used to restart, albeit temporarily, the girl's heart. The response of the ambulance was quick. Even the machine that creates waves in the pool at intervals of several minutes was not on at the time. As is the case with any major incident, there will be lessons learned through Eline's death. In the coming weeks, the investigation will be wrapped up and we will be able to find out exactly what those lessons are. But blame cannot always be placed on a specific institution.

POLITICIAN SAFE FROM COMEDIC SPOTLIGHT
ntil this weekend, it had been a long time since I last tuned into Saturday Night Live. I felt that every time I did manage to catch a few minutes of the long-running sketch comedy show that, with the departures of famous series regulars, it was all starting to go down hill. The sketches didn’t seem that funny, and most seemed very repetitive and unimaginative. The show has turned around for the better in recent weeks it seems, and the show’s creators have two people to thank for that. The first would be SNL alumnus Tina Fey. The second would be Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Though no longer a SNL regular, Fey – who has gone
on to write and star in the successful television comedy 30 Rock and less successful and less funny movie Baby Momma – has returned to the show several times in the last couple months as a guest star. Her returns, a genius move by Fey herself and SNL writers, are for the sole purpose of impersonating Palin. And thus, comedic impersonation has reached levels of hilarity I have not seen on television in quite some time. Love her or hate her, it’s hard to argue that Palin is a perfect target for comedians, not unlike being 6 ft. 8 in. with a bas mustache and deciding to sit in the front row at a comedy club. Between Palin’s comments about Russia being close enough to observe from Alaska to her disas-
trous interview with Katie Couric, the “caribou Barbie” is handing comedians material on a silver platter. But not just any comedian
press conferences, Fey has become a better Palin than, well, Sarah Palin. In most cases of comedians targeting politicians –

McCain who can make an odd comment and facial expression with the best of them, who is already taken many turns at being a punchline. For example, the most recent SNL featured Josh Brolin as host, and during his opening monologue he made a quip about his moving "No Country for Old Men", calling it "a movie about John McCain." And then you have Democratic candidate Barrack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden, who have also taken the odd funny hit, albeit more sparingly. But Palin is the clearcut winner of the "who gets made fun of more" contest. And rightfully so. The woman is like a walking satire. Let's keep it going. We all need a good laugh sometimes.

tating the politician’s voice. Fey does this as well, though while the things she says are indeed ridiculous, they are more often than not near-verbatim reenactments of actual things Palin has said. Pure genius. But with the American presidential race coming to an end in a few weeks time, SNL may have to get their punches in while they can. Unless, of course, the Republicans get elected and Vice-President Palin hits the White House Stage. If that were to happen – and let's face it, not even the best political analyst can predict what's going to happen in the states – Palin and McCain stand to get made fun of more often, and I predict, with greater enthusiasm than George W. Bush. For starters, you'll have

Snow fence is also being placed at the intersection of Limebank Road and Mitch Owens Road to reduce drifting at that intersection.
COUN. STEVE DESROCHES GLOUCESTER SOUTH NEPEAN I am pleased to report that the City’s Transportation Committee has followed my advice to reject a plan to reduce Routes 145 and 45 Service to Riverside South. I argued that the City goal should focus on efforts to find efficiencies in OCTranspo’s consumption of over 39 million litres of diesel fuel and not cut our City’s most popular routes. The Committee directed OC Transpo to find alternative strategies to lower its rising fuel costs without cutting high ridership routes.
Steve Desroches policy is to ensure all City owned, leased, and otherwise operated vehicles and equipment are operated and used in a fuel-efficient manner.

Riverside South Community Association Launches Fundraiser for New Park Shelter BY SCOTT HODGE, RSCA PRESIDENT SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER
N. JAHN / WEEKENDER STAFF
SAYING "THANK YOU!": Recently re-elected Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre was at the corner of Bridge St. and Manotick Main last week saying thank you.
The Riverside South Community Association (RSCA) has partnered with the Ottawa 67s for a fun and unique fundraising initiative to raise funds for a new sun shelter gazebo for Mountain Meadows Park. The RSCA is selling tickets for the Ottawa 67s game
on Sunday, November 2nd, at 2pm against the Owen Sound Attack. Tickets are available at a discounted price of $10 per ticket – that’s $5 off for adults and a $1 off for children. The RSCA will receive a portion of the money raised, up to $5 per ticket if over 1,000 tickets are sold. This game is also the 67s annual Mascot Madness game, which should prove to be great fun kids of all ages.
Ticket sales are not limited to just residents of Riverside South. Anyone who enjoys great hockey is welcome to purchase tickets. We do strongly encourage residents of Riverside South to support this initiative and buy tickets. But to also encourage family, friends and co-workers to purchase and join them at the game. Tickets are available in the community at Remix
Coffee House, the Riverside South Animal Hospital, and Tiny Hoppers.
Calling All Volunteers – RSCA’s AGM Please mark your calendars – The RSCA’s Annual General Meeting is coming up on Thursday, November 20. It will be held at the Rideauview Community Centre at 4310 Shoreline Drive at Spratt Road, starting at 7:15pm. The AGM is a great opportunity to hear about the Association’s activities and plans for the upcoming year and also hear from the area’s three politicians, our Member of Parliament, Member of Provincial Parliament and City Councillor. This is also an opportunity for residents to raise questions and advise the RSCA’s incoming Executive of their concerns and interests for Riverside South. RSCA REINVIGORATES NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH We all value our privacy as well as our safety. The NWP is not a “social” club, but it sure is easier to identify strangers once you get to know your neighbors. For this reason, NWP streets tend to be more cohesive, caring communities. Riverside South has seen vehicle break-ins, property damage and graffiti. We hope a growing NWP will help to prevent crime in our community. Crime prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s work together to prevent Riverside South from being one of those neighborhoods that you read about in the paper. A watch program is all about prevention, prevention of things that Riverside South is no stranger to, like vandalism, grow-ops and petty crime. Please see the RSCA’s website at www.riversidesouth.org for more information about the RSCA and our upcoming activities.

Workers’ Heritage Centre takes a fresh look at history Margaret Sambol Although it’s still two years away from opening its doors in the oldest known house in Vanier, the Workers’ Heritage Centre Museum is already telling the stories of Ottawa workers through the ages with its website. Museum executive director Ken Clavette s a y s t h e Wo r k e r s ’ Heritage Centre will be unique among the 11 community- and city-owned museums in the Ottawa Museum Network. “Most of the museums tell the story of a (former) municipality or a family and a time,” Clavette says, referencing the Nepean Museum, Pinhey’s Point and Billings’ Estate. He says this new museum will tell a missing piece of Ottawa’s history: that of working people who have been marginalized in historical accounts. “We’re the 11th community museum, but we’re telling the story of 80 per cent of the people who have lived here,” Clavette says. The plan is not to recreate a working class home, but to have an interactive interpretation centre about workers and their activities. For example, Clavette plans to have kids try typing on a old-fashioned typewriter or washing clothes with a washboard. “As much as we can, we want to give a hands-on sense of what it was like,” Clavette says. “These tools are not handled with white gloves. We want people to participate in the museum.” While Clavette says the plan is to focus on workers since European settlement to present day, he wants to be as inclusive as possible such as including information on the Anishnawbe people who lived and worked here before Europeans arrived. Clavette says the museum will not focus just on blue collar jobs.
“Particularly with Ottawa where the federal government has been a major employer, we want to tell all sides,” Clavette says. “We want to talk about women entering the workforce and fighting for equity and maternity leave.”
T h e museum will cover workers from across the whole city of Ottawa.
A MUSEUM OUTSIDE THE BUILDING Due to limited display space, Clavette says the plan is to be a “museum outside the building.” “We can’t put 70 students in this room so we will need to use the web,” Clavette says. “The web will be the new room of the museum where people can learn the stories we’re telling.” Already, an education committee has been formed to develop classroom programming to meet Ontario’s curriculum. “I’m hoping we can bring good, concrete (lesson) plans on workers, workers’ history and working history to schools,” says Bob Hatfield, chair of the education committee and vice-president of the museum board. He says that’s currently lacking and hopes to raise awareness of issues such as employment insurance, minimum wage and workers’ rights among young workers. “We do have rights in legislation but the mechanisms to enforce them are very weak,” Hatfield says.
The plan is to have temporary exhibits which can be displayed at community centres, shopping malls or schools, linked to an online component. Examples of temporary travelling exhibits include one exploring working class houses and one on the oldest continuous union local: the typographical workers. The museum has produced two videos documenting oral histories of Ottawa workers’ stories. One video explores the Ottawa car and aircraft industry which employed many female workers to build machine guns and parts for Lancaster bombers during the Second World War. The workers held a major 18month strike after the war. A second video tells the story of the Beach Foundry in Ottawa which manufactured stoves and fridges until it closed in 1981. “It’s a story of an Ottawaowned family firm that went into a nameless corporation,” Clavette said. When workers got wind of the plant’s closure, they held a sit-down strike until the company negotiated severance pay. “These are the voices of Ottawa,” Clavette says. While unions and labour unrest form a part of the story, Clavette says the heritage centre is not a museum of unions. It will explore issues of social justice, benefits and unemployment, but it will also delve into workers’ lives. “What they did for fun, what their communities were like,” Clavette says, offering examples of topics for exhibits. One interesting study is Lebreton Flats, where Clavette says mill workers lived next to mill owners. “It’s about social and cultural life as well as political and activist life,” Clavette says.
FASCINATING STORIES Clavette has a wealth of
fascinating stories about Ottawa’s labour histor y. For example, the 1966 Heron Road bridge collapse remains the worse worker accident in Ontario’s history. Nine workers died and another 57 were injured. Even the mayor went to the site of the accident to help carry stretchers. The museum’s exhibit committee is collecting stories from Ottawa residents and inviting people to write vignettes about workers in their family tree or about their own experiences. Clavette wants to add a “My First Job” section to the website where people can tell their own working stories. “Workers represent the people,” Clavette says. “History is not the history of great men. It includes women, minorities and First Nations history as well. Those stories get lost because it’s hard to tell the stories of the masses, but they have as much legitimacy as the lumber barons or the governors general. History includes everyone.” While some people look at Parliament Hill and think about Sir John A. MacDonald or Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Clavette says he sees a workplace and a different angle on history. “People died building that building,” Clavette says. “Workers look there for social justice.” When the carpenter’s union was doing repairs on the roof of the House of Commons, Clavette says they found the signatures on the inside of the roof of all the workers who had rebuilt Parliament after the 1916 fire.
OLDEST KNOWN HOUSE IN VANIER The museum will be located in Gamman House, which was built in 1875 and occupied in 1876. Nathaniel and Mary Anne Gamman were a working class family, which
makes the house an appropriate home for the heritage centre. Nathaniel was a janitor of the local school and served on the first town council of Eastview in 1909. Eastview was an amalgamation of three villages and was later renamed Vanier after the first French Canadian Governor General, Georges Vanier. When the Gammans built their house, it was in Janeville, one of the villages to be amalgamated into Eastview. “Janeville was the B a r rh a v e n o f i t s d a y, ” Clavette says. Both the house and the yard are designated as heritage locations, because the size of the lot is unusual in a dense urban area. The plan is to convert the yard into a heritage garden called Mary Anne’s garden where residents of the community can enjoy natural beauty in the heart of Vanier. The museum board is planning to have a number of informative plaques in the garden so visitors can learn about workers’ history even when the museum i s
closed. The parlour and dining room of the Gamman house, along with a planned addition, will form the main interpretative centre for the museum. The upstairs will house a resource centre where visitors can conduct research into workers’ history. The building was originally intended as the location of the Vanier Museum, but when the city was amalgam-
ated into Ottawa in 2001 the vacated Vanier City Hall was deemed the perfect location for what became the Vanier Museopark. “There’s lots of potential here for tourism,” Hatfield says. “We’re trying to market Vanier as the French quarter.” The city asked the Wo r k e r s ’ Heritage Committee of the District Labour Council if they would like to take over the maintenance of the Gamman house in exchange for $1 a year rent of the space. Clavette says the committee wasn’t interested in office space, but was excited by the opportunity to have interpretative space for heritage exhibits. The committee partnered with the city to develop a plan for the museum and the heritage centre was included in the city’s museum sustainability funding plan. The museum sustainability plan covers the salary costs, but a fundraising campaign is getting underway to raise capital funds for building renovations and the addition. Clavette says the museum is also hoping to partner with building trades and Algonquin College for in-kind services. The college’s heritage carpentry trades program is restoring the Gamman house windows as a classroom project. Anyone interested in helping to launch museum should contact Clavette at 613-742-1872 or director@whc-cpo.ca. The planned launch date for the new museum is 2010. This is the final edition in Ottawa Region Media Group’s series of features on each of the 11 community- and city-owned museums in the Ottawa Museum Network.

Long past, but not forgotten COUN. GLENN BROOKS RIDEAU GOULBOURN Last Saturday was, for me, a step back in time. One might describe the step as a long step back in time. It was a step not remotely considered, but one that I shall forever treasure. Last Saturday was remarkable in that I was not required to be any place. When my executive assistant, Sandra Hodges, informed me that I had the day off, it didn’t don on me to ask why. When Gail, my wife, said that she and I had to go to Smith Falls, I didn’t ask why – there are times when it is best to follow than lead! However, I must admit that I did put up some resistance to the unplanned excursion as the weather was most promising and the yard work beckoned. That said, we set out and arrived at the designated time at Angelo’s Restaurant.
Glenn Brooks My thinking as we parked was that our old friends, the Moores from Kars, were meeting us for a pleasant lunch. Not until I opened the door did I realized just what was unfolding before me. A flood of familiar faces stood before Gail and I. The faces were older, but not so old that I could not sense their familiarity. These middle-aged adults were my grade eight students some 40 years ago!
Back in 1967, I was the principal of Harper Condie School and those standing before me were my former charges. Missing were three former students who unfortunately, are now deceased and two who were not able to attend. Admittedly, I was not able to draw their names to memory, but they were forgiving – I think in part due to my age for they had gathered to celebrate not just the 40 year period, but my 70th birthday. During the course of the meal, I had the opportunity to listen to them reminiscence, hear their stories, and their ups and downs. It was during this part of the luncheon that I began to relive many of their stories. The memories were laughable and joyous! Back in those days teachers and students of Harper Condie didn’t have all that much!
However, we had each other and that sentiment was spoken repeatedly throughout the afternoon. They recounted two events: I was that young teacher/principal who treated them as equals and with respect – that kind of recognition is priceless. The other event was our journey and stay at Expo 67! That event resonated with all of us as a week of getting out of town to Montreal. I would be amiss if I
didn’t mention that Gail, Miss Wallace, in those days was not also the center of attention. At the time the girls and some boys (now admit) were impressed with Miss Wallace’s stylish dress code. Miss Wallace was a remarkable teacher then and now as she spoils our three granddaughters. Both Gail and I are forever indebted to Cathie McRae Scott, former student, who organized the gathering and
it was a gathering of friends who think of themselves as family. Gail and I are proud to be part of that remarkable family. Thank you Cathie and all those who took the time to relive a long step back in time. Next week, I begin a second series of budget updates in preparation for the 2009 Budget. As always, I am here to serve: 580-2424 ext. 31310 or email: glenn.brooks@ Ottawa.ca.
Notice of Public Open House Earl Armstrong Road Widening, River Road to Limebank Road, and Earl Armstrong Road Park and Ride Facility The City of Ottawa invites you to attend an open house to discuss the proposed widening of Earl Armstrong Road from River Road to Limebank Road and the development of an Earl Armstrong Park and Ride facility east of River Road.
258774
Send your story ideas to doug.clark@ metroland.com Earl Armstrong Road is a major east/west arterial road serving the Riverside South community located south of the Ottawa International Airport. The City of Ottawa has identified the need to widen the existing two lane rural arterial road to a four lane urban arterial road to support the significant development in the Riverside South Community and to ensure compatibility with, or otherwise facilitate, multiple modes of travel including transit, vehicular, cycling and pedestrian traffic. Earl Armstrong Park and Ride The City of Ottawa has also identified the need to introduce a Park and Ride facility along the Earl Armstrong Corridor to facilitate the interaction between the multiple modes of travel. Although released as a separate project by the City, the Park and Ride Facility is so closely linked to the widening of Earl Armstrong that discussing both at the same venue is appropriate. At the open house you will have the opportunity to: • Review plans displaying existing conditions and general information on the scope and limits of the recommended designs for the road widening and the Park and Ride facility; • Bring forth any issues pertaining to the project that have not yet been identified; • Discuss the staged expansion of the Park and Ride lot; and • The proposed staging of the Earl Armstrong Road widening project.
You’re invited: Thursday, November 6, 2008 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Rideauview Community Centre 4310 Shoreline Road, Ottawa, ON Representatives from the City, members of the Consulting teams and Councillor Steve Desroches will be available to discuss these projects and answer your questions.

Weekender touted for 'leading the way' on environment DANIEL REID WEEKENDER STAFF The Ottawa South Weekender is “leading the way� when it comes to the environment according to three leading conservation groups in eastern Ontario. The Rideau Valley, Mississippi and South Nation
conservation authorities have nominated the Weekender’s parent-company, the Ottawa Region Media Group, for a business award in the first ever Tri-Valley Conservation Awards. “There’s a lot of stuff on the production side of the newspapers that has gone green over the years,� said Charles Billington, director
of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. “There are a lot of businesses around that are doing stuff like that but this was (especially) astounding. “It’s a very good environmental effort that’s leading the way.� When you publish 190,000 newspapers every week on 28,000 kilograms of paper,
every green change makes a difference. Nineteen newspapers in 11 different markets from Kemptville to Renfrew are now printed on 100 per cent recycled paper and even recyclable, canola-based inks. In August, the media group also launched GreenLife, a magazine focused on environmental issues in and around Ottawa.
“We hope to inspire ordinary people to change their lifestyles to live lighter on the earth,� said Margaret Sambol, editorial co-ordinator for GreenLife. “Our philosophy is that environmentally-friendly living is attainable for everyone.� “The impact of the work that’s going on there is certainly going to make a difference in the three valleys,�
said Billington. “It’s going to be good for our valleys, our citizens and our future.� Winners in eight categories will be announced during a gala at the Rideau Valley Conservative Centre in Manotick on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. The Ottawa Region Media Group is up against Long Island Marine in Kars.

ning last February. “If you look back at the year I had in Philly, all year we had the worst team in the league and we had a lot of young players,” he said. “Last year in Tampa, it was the same situation. I got there late in the year and they were the last (place) team in the league. “So it’s not only my first opportunity to play (regularly in the top six) but it’s my first opportunity to play on a good team. I’m liking it very well here so far.” He especially enjoyed it during the Sens’ home-opener on Oct. 11, when Picard opened the scoring against the Detroit Red Wings on a power play – his first goal in a Senators uniform. He figures to keep getting more chances in man-advantage situations. “It was a bit of a surprise,” Picard said afterward about the opportunity to man the point on the power play. “But I think we’ve done well as a group. We scored a couple of goals. It’s only the first (three) games but we’ll see how it goes from here on.” In Hartsburg’s mind, it should only keep getting better for a 23-yearold blueliner who has been everything the Senators had hoped for – and then some. “He’s a guy that, to me, has really taken big steps for us,” said Hartsburg. “That trade, to me, has really helped our hockey team, adding two quality defencemen that we know can

The skinny: The Ducks went from Stanley Cup champions in 2007 to first-round playoff fodder last spring. They’re still plenty talented, though, with Scott Niedermayer’s decision to return for another season, strengthening a blue-line brigade that already boasted the likes of Chris Pronger and Francois Beauchemin. It’s a group that helps make life easier for workhorse goaltender Jean-Sébastien Giguére. Up front, free-agent Brendan Morrison has been brought on board for some extra offence. Big Ryan Getzlaf had a breakout 82-point season in 2007-08, while Corey Perry and Chris Kunitz are key contributors as well.
help us in all special situations. Power play, penalty killing … they’re both going to be key guys for us. “I think (Picard) moves the puck real well. He’s not going to be a guy who rushes up and down the ice, but he’s going to make good, smart plays with it. He’s going to join the attack and he does have a real good shot. He gets it through and he’s got some velocity on it.” Picard knows exactly what it’ll take to keep him on the right track. “Just play consistent, make the simple plays and try not to complicate things,” he said. “Play a simple game, try to bring a little bit of offence and a little bit of physical play.” He plans to make good use of the example provided by blue-line veterans Chris Phillips, Anton Volchenkov,
Jason Smith and Kuba. “The top four defencemen here are top guys that I can learn from, just by watching them,” said Picard. “I’m going to be a sponge this year and soak up everything I can.” That all of this is happening right across the river from his hometown … well, that’s just a bonus for Picard. “I’m kind of walking in unknown territory so far,” he said about playing for the NHL team that’s just a short drive from Gatineau. “I don’t really know how this is going to play out but it feels nice. But I think it’s like any job. You just have to forget about it. “It’s nice when it’s over and you go home and you have friends and family so close. But it’s not something I really thought about and even if I did, I didn’t know what to expect.”

Defenceman Alex Picard is making the most of his opportunity to be a regular on the Ottawa Senators blue line. It’s his first season with the team since being acquired in an off-season trade.
By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com In a lot of minds, he was anything but the big name in the biggest trade the Ottawa Senators made during the off-season. But Alex Picard – the secondary pickup in the deal that brought Filip Kuba to Ottawa and sent Andrej Meszaros to the Tampa Bay Lightning – has quickly proven he was anything but a throw-in for the Senators when general manager Bryan Murray finalized the exchange of blueliners at the end of August. Already, Picard is seeing major power-play time for the Senators and logs close to 18 minutes of ice time each night. Clearly, the organization has big plans for the Gatineau native, both now and in the years to come, and wanted to acquire him for a reason. “He may be the guy in the trade that – everybody didn’t forget about him – but I think everybody looked at Kuba as the main guy,” said Senators head coach Craig Hartsburg. “But I think Picard has done a great job and he’s going to get better.” Picard is not only relishing the opportunity to play regular minutes for the Senators but to do it for a winning team. He suited up for 62 games in the 2006-07 season with the Philadelphia Flyers, who finished with the worst record in the National Hockey League. It was more of the same when the Flyers dealt Picard to the Light-

Larry Robinson Arena was packed and the celebrity glamour was out for the Metcalfe Jets’ home opener last Friday night as they faced off against the conferenceleading Clarence Beavers. It was obvious right away that the Jets would be in hard against the Beavers; the team is visibly bigger and has five of the top 10 points leaders in the league. After the 9-2 drubbing the Jets received at the hands of the Beavers on Oct. 12, they were hoping to put in a better effort. “They’re good,” Jets coach said of Larry Bellinger of the Beavers. “(They’re) definitely a big team and I think it’s pretty much the same team as last year.” Meaning the team is big, strong and has lots of chemistry remaining between players from last season. Osgoode Ward Coun. Doug Thompson was also on hand to drop the ceremonial opening faceoff between captains Brett Holmes of the Jets and Carl Blanchard of the Beavers. The game started with plenty of momentum for the Jets as centre Mikael Mo-
rin, the team’s leading goal scorer, made plenty of slick moves inside the Beavers zone but made a blind backhand pass that ended up allowing the Beavers to charge into the Jets defensive zone. It wasn’t long after that when Beavers’ left winger Tyler Fradette came in off his wing and wired a shot from the blueline past goaltender Alex Huard. Two minutes after the goal saw 4-on-4 action with the Jets gaining momentum again and saw them with a brief 5-on-3 powerplay when Morin finished his time in the box for crosschecking. They didn’t waste the opportunity. A wicked slap shot from C Kory Churchill at the 7:18 mark of the first period found its way past the Beavers keeper and the Jets still had the man advantage. Just 17 seconds later C Alexander Barr jammed his first of the season home and the Jets took a 2-1 lead. Over the next five minutes of the first, the Beavers scored three goals on Huard, who ended up being replaced in the second period by G Christopher Scrivens, but returning in the third to finish out the game. The fourth goal was con-
tentious as players on the Jets bench – and the majority of the fans in the stands – thought the puck was offside, but the ref didn’t blow the whistle. However, two Beavers players were allowed to set up shop a few feet from the crease and whack away at the puck until it slipped past Huard. The Jets brought the score close in the closing minutes of the first on a beautiful one-timer as LW Derek Nooyen picked up his first of the season on a pass from Morin. After that goal, it seemed that the Jets were trying to send a message to the Beavers that they wouldn’t be pushed around, especially when C Shane James took on Beavers C Sebastien Tremblay with 3.2 seconds left in the first. It was a close fight, but the decision has to go to James when he took down Tremblay with a strong right. Both players received automatic ejections for their troubles. James came into the spectator side with an ice pack on his hand and explained what happened: “He (Tremblay) was slashing my goalie, I wasn’t going to let him anymore.” Unfortunately for the Jets, it all went downhill from
there. The Beavers went on to score five goals in the second, many of them should have been picked up by the goalie or were general defensive breakdowns when Beavers players would be left all alone in front. It seemed like a general meltdown and frustration was evident. One of the few bright spots was D Eric Laplante’s unassisted goal with less than two minutes remaining in the second. While the Jets played more as a team in the third, they couldn’t mount any offense and the Beavers came away with two more goals. “We had a better third period,” said Bellinger. “I made sure they realized that we weren’t happy with the first and second period.” Bellinger also made sure to divert blame from his goaltenders, who were often the victim of poor defensive play by the skaters. “Our goaltenders weren’t the ones leaving guys alone in the front of the net,” he said. “That’s been our downfall defensively and that goes back to being a young and inexperienced team.” nathan.jahn @metroland.com 249044

Partnership between WDMH and UOHI brings new services to rural hospital SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) are pleased to announce a new partnership that will result in improved cardiac care closer to home for WDMH patients and their families. “Winchester District Memorial Hospital is proud to link with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute to improve access to care,” noted Trudy Reid, CEO at WDMH. “Heart disease is the most frequent reason that patients seek care at the hospital and we want to provide all of the services we can at their doorstep. Several initiatives are now being planned to ensure a strong foundation for working together.” Dr. Robert Roberts, President and CEO, UOHI, agrees. “The partnership with Winchester District Memorial Hospital will mean better care for the communities that the hospital serves, and ultimately better heart health.” The first new service to go live is the STEMI PROGRAM. STEMI stands for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and is the most severe type of heart attack. A STEMI happens when a blood vessel in the heart muscle becomes completely blocked. This can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is critical in diagnosing the cause of chest discomfort. Once ST elevation is found on the ECG, a heart attack is diagnosed. From there, no time can be spared in treating this patient’s blocked artery. “Time is of the essence,” explained Dr. Chuck Su, WDMH’s Chief of Emergency Medicine. “The longer the blockage is there, the more damage is done to the heart. We want to diagnose and stabilize these patients and then get them quickly to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute for
further treatment. By calling an ambulance and coming to WDMH, patients are provided with the best possible care in the fastest amount of time.” With the STEMI program, potential heart attack patients are brought to WDMH by ambulance and remain on the stretcher while being assessed by the doctor. An ECG is performed and if a STEMI is occurring, initial medications are given before the patient is transferred to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. At the same time, the paramedics alert the STEMI team at UOHI so that they are ready when the patient arrives. “The true benefit for patients in our region is rapid access,” noted Dr. Brian Devin, Chief of Staff at WDMH. “Outcomes are significantly improved due to the improved treatment time. We are proud to be one of the first rural hospitals in the region to provide this service.” "This model of the Heart Institute's STEMI program is successfully being adopted in hospitals across the region. Our partnership with Winchester enables physicians to provide the benefits of early intervention for heart attack patients in a rural setting," said Dr. Michel Le May, Director, Coronary Care Unit Research Group, UOHI. All of the physicians agree that patients must be aware of the signs of a heart attack and act quickly to ensure the best outcomes. The signs include pain in the chest, jaw, back, neck or stomach; shortness of breath; sweating and nausea. If these symptoms occur, an ambulance should be called. The ongoing partnership between Winchester District Memorial Hospital and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute will grow over the next few months as the two institutions look at several collaboration opportunities. “This is a very important initiative,” summed up Dr. Devin.

Trustee Greg Laws resigns from school board JENNIFER YOUNG WEEKENDER STAFF
N. J AHN / WEEKENDER STAFF
OUCH! St. Mark's Travis Leger is taken down in action on Thursday, Oct. 16 action against Sir Wilfred Laurier. The Lions won 21-18.
The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board will soon be searching for a new trustee to fill the spot left by Zone 7 trustee Greg Laws. Laws, the trustee for Gloucester-South Nepean, Osgoode and Gloucester-Southgate for the past five years, is resigning, effective Oct. 28. He and his wife are relocating to Toronto. He said he will miss the schools and various people his position helped him to work with.
“It’s definitely with mixed emotions that I leave,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed working with the various groups.” Laws is disappointed he won’t see the completion of some important projects in the area, including the finishing of a high school in Riverside South and an improvement in the way French emersion programs are made available to students in rural schools. He is currently the trustee for Farley Mowat Public School and Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School and said he hopes the Barrhaven

area will soon see a new school in the Chapman Mills community. He encouraged the new trustee to continue to support those projects. “I think it’s a great opportunity for someone new to step into,” he said. “You need to be very aware of the amount of time it takes.” As the chair of the education committee, he has worked to promote student achievement and worked with the board to change the way its does some things. “I’ve been helping to move the school board toward strategic planning and decision making,” he said. Even though he is moving to Toronto, Laws didn’t know if he would consider running for one of the Toronto-area boards. Lynn Scott, chair of the board, said Laws will be leaving a hole in the board. “We will certainly miss Greg. He has been a very hard worker,” she said. “As chair [of the education committee] he certainly has worked with staff to understand the impact changes have in the schools.” The board will decide on the appointment process on Oct. 29. Scott said it will be similar to the process the board went through last year to appoint Douglas Lloyd to Zone 4 to replace Margaret Lange. Scott said anyone thinking about applying for the position should make sure they know what they are about to tackle. A good trustee must possess two characteristics, according to Scott. “One thing that’s very important is a strong commitment to students,” she said. “They also need a good level of energy.” When someone is appointed, Scott said it will be done keeping the best interests of the board and its students in mind. “We want to have the best possible education for students in Ottawa-Carleton,” she said. Under the Education Act, the board has 60 days to replace Laws following his official resignation. jennifer.young @nepeanthisweek.com

Ottawa not recession proof: consultant BLAIR EDWARDS WEEKENDER STAFF Ottawa’s economic fate during a recession will depend on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s spending policy, according to a municipal consulting group. Three quarters of the local economy is driven by the federal government, said the Corporate Research Group during a meeting of the corporate services and economic development committee on Tuesday, Oct. 21. This makes the city particularly vulnerable to a freeze in federal spending or a decentralization of the civil service, said Paul Knowlton, the group’s vice president. “As the federal government goes so goes Ottawa,” he said. “If the federal government has money, Ottawa does well. It’s really as simple as that.” During years of surplus the number of civil servants rises and during deficits drops – creating a similar drop in the local economy, states the report. Even if the country suffers a recession there is a silver
lining for the nation’s capital, said Knowlton. Over the next five years the government must spend hundreds of millions of dollars to retrofit its aging buildings, which will become a driving force in the city’s construction industry, he said. The buildings need renovation to meet building codes, he said. “It’s recession proof it has to be done,” said Brian Card, president the consulting group. “I would say millions and millions of dollars across the next five years.” Ottawa’s economy is performing well now, with low unemployment and a strong housing, office and retail market – but that could all change, warned the report, with a slowing economy and a freeze in government spending. “We’re not immune in the long term to recessionary trends,” said Ottawa mayor Larry O’Brien. The mayor said the city must be fiscally prudent this year and at the same time consider “ambitious and imaginative investment” in infrastructure projects.
“It’s a good time to invest in infrastructure,” said O’Brien. “The prices are going to be lower and the needs are going to be greater.” He said council must be neither too optimistic nor too negative during this year’s budget deliberations. “The key issue in here is balance.” Both the mayor and College Coun. Rick Chiarelli introduced motions during Tuesday’s meeting, calling on the city to devise a longterm economic strategy to handle a possible recession. Chiarelli wants the city to invite business and labour advisory groups to help the city weather a recession. “The city government may not be able to stop the recession,” he said. “But we can help put our city in a position to emerge from it much stronger than we otherwise would.” During the 1990s the former city of Nepean used its capital reserves to fast track infrastructure projects, taking advantage of bargain basement construction costs. “Those were good times,” he said.
But the City of Ottawa’s capital reserves are empty, limiting the municipality’s ability to take advantage of the current economic climate. City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said a slumping economy may result in less support from the federal government for major capital projects such as light rail and a drop in funding from both the federal and provincial government. At the same time, taxpay-
ers face the added expense of hundreds of more people needing social assistance – every additional 150 people on welfare costs taxpayers $250,000 per year. The city also faces the specter of a drop in revenue from gas taxes and lower than expected tax assessment growth, he added. Ottawa will head into the 2009 budget deliberations facing a $21.5-million deficit, caused by rising fuel and snow removal costs, as well
as a hefty arbitration award for city fire fighters and a drop in provincial funding for health care. The city will have to cut between $19 million to $51 million to keep this year’s tax hike at 4.9 per cent, said city treasurer Marian Simulik. It plans to eliminate a projected $21.5 million shortfall by delaying some capital projects. blair.edwards @metroland.com

DEATHS Jean Elizabeth (Bette) Lunan 1922 - 2008
Love & Best Wishes All your family CL12306
IN MEMORIAMS
Born Jean Elizabeth Denovan July 7, 1922 on a farm near Dalkeith, Ontario, her parents Robert Denovan and Lily Denovan (McRae) later moved to Asbestos, Quebec - where she met her sweetheart John (Jack) Lunan. After high school she enrolled in the Margaret Eaton School in Toronto, a Physical Education college. She later worked in Quebec City as a Physical Education instructor for the YWCA. Then she joined the RCAF WD and was stationed in Newfoundland as a wireless telegraph operator. When World War II ended Bette married Jack on December 7, 1945. Bette and Jack had four children and lived in Asbestos, Danville, Ottawa, Dalkeith and Kemptville (Oxford Station). In the latter part of her life she was involved in an effective Christian prayer ministry. After suffering a stroke on September 3rd , Bette died peacefully in Kemptville Hospital on Wednesday, September 17, 2008, at the age of 86. She was the ever loving wife of Jack Lunan. Precious Mom of Janet Sears (Carl), Jennifer Johnston (Arnie), Cathy Besharah (Peter) and Rob Lunan (Monika) all of Kemptville. Sadly missed by her grandchildren Christine, Sylvia, Alex and Sonja and great-grandchildren Meika, Tanner, Tyson, Niko and Roeg, and her many nieces, nephews. Predeceased by her brother John Denovan, sisters Isabel Brown and Ruth Campbell and her grandson Simon Johnston. Funeral was held at North Grenville Community Church, Kemptville on Saturday September 20th, and the burial was at Kirk Hill Cemetery (near Dalkeith) on Monday, September 22nd. Bette blessed us greatly during her 86 years with us. In turn she was blessed to be rich in spirit, family and friends. She will be forever in our hearts, but we are comforted to know she has returned to the Lord she so greatly loved and adored.

GRAHAME: In memory of Ken who passed away October 30, 2005. May the winds of love blow softly, And whisper so you hear; We will always love and miss you, And wish you were still here. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; Part of us went with you; The day God called you home. Sadly missed by wife Rose, children and grandchildren - Debbie, Mike, Cassie and Dane; Cindy, John, Deiter and Owen; Rick, Wesley and Leah.

OCTOBER 24, 2008 - OTTAWA SOUTH WEEKENDER - PAGE 23
Jets trample Mustangs in 9-4 win NATHAN JAHN WEEKENDER STAFF After a poor outing against the Clarence Beavers on Friday night, the Metcalfe Jets were hoping to rebound against the Gatineau Mustangs in what became a shining example of “old time” hockey. Head coach Larry Bellinger said the team was “feeling good about themselves” after a solid outing in the third period of what was a lopsided loss against the Beavers and it showed early on as the Jets took it to the Mustangs early and often in their 9-4 win – the second time Metcalfe has won this season, the other coming against Gatineau as well. For the first five minutes of the game, the Jets controlled the play and keeping the puck mostly inside the Mustangs defensive end, throwing all kinds of shots at ‘Stangs goaltender Steven Cross. It paid off. Twelve seconds apart starting at the 5:34 mark of the first period, centres Mikael Morin and Kory Churchill scored on Cross. Both players assisted on the other’s goal as well, in what became a 2-point night for
Morin and Churchill finished with two goals and one assist. Sloppy defence allowed Gatineau to jam a goal past Huard just less than halfway through the first and seemed to give the Mustangs life: that’s when Huard shone his brightest. The best save of the period came on a clear breakaway when Huard made a gorgeous blocker save while falling backwards, but he seemed to hurt his left leg on the play and went to the locker room shortly after. Recent addition G Christopher Scrivens came in and immediately came up with some great saves to keep the score at 2-1 for the Jets; who made it 3-1 with less than two minutes remaining in the period off a nifty 2-on-1 that saw C Christopher Duncan pick up his first goal of the season. The Jets came out flying in the second as captain Brett Holmes scored his first of two goals on the night on a slap shot from the point less than two minutes into the second period. The Mustangs managed to score on the powerplay six minutes later, but that was the most offense they’d see the rest of the period as the Jets came storming back and
scored two more goals less than a minute apart as RW Josh Shanbaum picked up his fourth of the season and LW Zachary Coakeley shoveled home his first. It was after that when the game started getting rough. Three penalties were called in the first period; with 18 in the second and 20 in the third period as fights broke out on two separate occasions. The first, with less than two minutes left in the second period, saw C Shane James in his second fight in as many games and RW Jonny Valcour squaring off against their counterparts. Three Mustangs’ players were ejected and both James and Valcour were kicked out of the game as fighting comes with an automatic ejection. It carries over into the next game if there are less than 10 minutes remaining in the game. The Jets took a 6-2 lead into the third period. Coming into the third, the Mustangs managed to make it interesting with two goals close together early in the period as the defense played poorly and allowed Gatineau players multiple whacks at the puck. Just over a minute after the Mustangs made it 6-4, Shanbaum restored the three-goal
N. JAHN / WEEKENDER STAFF
OLD TIME HOCKEY: There were plenty of fights and goals during the Jets game Sunday afternoon against the Gatineau Mustangs. lead after slick passes from C Nick Straccini and D Eric Laplante. Holmes and Churchill finished out the scoring for the Jets as they didn’t allow the Mustangs many more chances after making the score 94. And whatever chances did get through were swallowed up by the goaltending; both goalies played and both played extremely well, combining for 39 saves. Bellinger was pleased with his team’s performance. “We play a system where we
try not to give out turnovers at either blueline,” he said. “We finally came to realize that it does work and they finally applied it; that was key. There was lots of excitement. I thought we played our systems better than we have for a while and emotions were up. They were smiling and when you’re smiling things are going good.” The players were excited, as they could be heard cheering from inside their locker room.
Notes:
Straccini finished the night with four assists and a very solid outing. Spectators were commenting on the play of number 4, saying he “played with heart.” The Jets’ next game goes tonight (Oct. 24) against the Perth Blue Wings who come into play last in the Valley Division. Gametime is 8:15 at the Larry Robinson Arena in Metcalfe. nathan.jahn @metroland.com
