Demolition begins on Vox Lounge Supreme Court decision closes chapter on dilapitated nightclub JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

PLAY TIME Meadowlands Public School students officially opened the school’s play structure on Oct. 12. 6
After six-and-a-half years and a federal court decision, a working crew began the job of demolishing the Vox Lounge at 3795 Richmond Rd. on Oct. 14. The decision involved a dispute over ownership of the former nightclub and restaurant — which was finally settled — allowing National Trust to sell the property to Petro Canada for about $1.5 million. Tony Isaac, the former owner of the building defaulted on his mortgage after he was forced to close the lounge so that Petro Canada could attempt to clean up the soil. The original attempt to clean was done through a hole in the floor of the building. Petro Canada now wants to raze the building to get at the gas-contaminated ground beneath it. First workers had to work at cleaning out the building before tearing it down. The building has been the site of a lot of vandalism over the years, with bricks visible on the roof and graffiti on the walls. “There is almost as much contamination inside the building as there is in the ground, with all the asbestos,” College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said. Called the “festering eyesore” of Bells Corners, many residents are going to be happy to see the rather infamous building finally knocked down. “It’s about time,” Jim Stourges, member of the Bells Corners Business Improvement Area, said. “This is going to be really great for Bells Corners.” Once the decontamination of the inside building is done, workers should be able to get to tearing the outside down in the next week. Once the building is down,

“The building certainly wasn’t a selling point before, so this will be an improvement,” he said.

Queensway Carleton Hospital begins final phase of expansion JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The Queensway Carleton Hospital is growing again. Just weeks from its 36th anniversary, the hospital has officially announced the final phase of their expansion. “In four short years we will be looking out that window and seeing a whole new building,” Andrew Falconer QCH chief of staff said. “In the past 36 years we have really grown from a community hospital to one that serves the whole region.” The centrepiece of the hospital’s plan includes a new four-storey building that will add 13006 square metre. Another 6503 square metres will be renovated. In the future, another two floors — including one that could accommodate an extra 34 beds — could be added to the new building. “Ottawa’s west end is one of the fastest growing communities in the country,” Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli said. The expansion will mean a 40 per cent increase in the number of operating rooms, bringing the number from seven to 10. It will also ad 15 kidney dialysis stations, and a second MRI and CT scanner. Ambulatory care, diagnostic imaging, administration, laboratory and pharmacy services will also see upgrades. The $126-million project is expected to be completed by early 2014. In addition to the new 18580 square me-

Seemingly always under construction, the hospital has already opened the doors to the new $96-million Irving Greenberg Cancer Centre earlier this year. “I know when we did the first part of the expansion staff were just delighted,” June Lemmex, past chair of the QCH Foundation said. “They told me, ‘now we are able to provide the kind of care we want to.’”

Woman dies in five-car collision DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
A 79-year-old woman died in hospital after sustaining life-threatening injuries in a five-car collision at Merivale Road and Meadowlands Drive on Oct. 12. Although witnesses said the woman suffered a heart attack while behind the wheel causing the accident just before 9:30 a.m., neither police nor paramedics at the scene could confirm. Her white Toyota sedan was a wreck at the intersection. “She was unconscious when paramedics arrived,” Ottawa paramedic spokesperson J.P. Trottier said. “CPR was being done, and we continued that and initiated advanced life-support treatment. We did manage to get a return of pulse and respiration prior to our departure from the scene.” Trottier added that she was treated en route to hospital for a serious heart condition. She died later that day. Terri Huard was heading eastbound on Meadowlands Drive and was waiting at the red light. Before making a left-hand turn to head north on Merivale Road, she saw what happened. Once the light turned green, she made her turn and then pulled into the Tim Horton’s on the northeast corner and returned to the scene. Huard said the woman was driving westbound on Meadowlands Drive and veered into the eastbound lane, hitting a Purolator truck twice before smashing into a minivan. “My daughter thought, ‘Why would you want to make a U-Turn on Meadowlands,’” the 54-yearold said, who was driving her daughter to work. In talking with the driver of the Purolator truck, Huard said the man saw the woman’s head snap back before the collision even occurred. The crash also resulted in a 34-year-old woman taken to hospital for minor neck and arm injuries. Her nine-month-old was also transported as a precaution. Both were in the minivan. Huard said the man driving the Purolator truck pulled the nine-month-old child out of the crumbled van while the mother was caught in the deployed airbag.

A 79-year-old woman driving this Toyota sedan died in hospital after suffering life-threatening injuries during a five-car collision at Merivale Road and Meadowlands Drive on Oct. 12. Witnesses said the woman suffered a heart attack while driving, causing the accident. After talking to police, the visibly-shaken man was escorted away from the scene by company executives and refrained from comment. Huard believed because the car hit the Purolator truck, it slowed down its progress enough to limit damage to the minivan. “If I would have had the green light, she would have killed us,” Huard said, who would have been Bob Chiarelli MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean sang the praises of the PQCHC on Oct. 14 after announcing a three-year committment to their hit head-on. The intersection was blocked off completely by United Neighbours program. 10 a.m. Drivers could only make right-hand turns onto Merivale Road and Meadowlands Drive. A red truck and silver sedan were also involved in the crash. The vehicles were travelling northbound on Merivale Road. There were no other injuries.

Ottawa’s west end communities are going to be a lot safer thanks to a $154,000-windfall from the provincial government on Oct. 14. The funding was given to the Pinecrest Queensway Community Health Centre’s United Neighbours Program, along with a three-year commitment for funding. “The United Neighbours initiative recognizes and develops that strength by bringing together residents of all ages and backgrounds,” Bob Chiarelli, provincial minister of infrastructure and MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, said. The goal of United Neighbours is to enhance sustainable broad-based community development and to give residents the tools to make their neighbourhoods a better place o live.
“In the years it has been running we have helped to establish neighbourhood watch programs and other initiatives,” Tammy Corner, a community developer with PQCHC, said. “But the people on the ground really drive the bus.” Chiarelli said that although we see flare-ups in the media about crime in parts of the city, Ottawa is still a city worth living in due to community organizations like United Neighbours. The west-end initiative encourages residents to take ownership and responsibility for issues in their community. Wanda MacDonald, executive director, said this is done by getting people to talk in meetings and coffee shops. “By doing that, we’re getting people engaged in those discussions and looking at ways that they can become involved in contributing to the goals of the overall project,” she said.

Residents question candidates on community plan jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Cycling safety, transit and access to recreation were some of the hot-button issues at a Bay ward debate held at Maki House on Oct. 13. Candidates Oni Joseph, Terry Kilrea, Shawn Little were once again on hand to take a crack at unseating incumbent Alex Cullen. One of the key issues was the Queensway north route chosen by city staff for the west transitway extension. “We need to go with experience,” Cullen said. “I am sure some of the other candidates will get up here and tell you that they can choose the other route even if it adds $50 million to the cost. ‘If that’s what you want, then hey that’s what I will do,’ they’ll say.” Cullen also took criticism on the 10-unit development that is currently going up on Carling Ave. Crystal BeachLakeview residents say that the developer promised to avoid using wood chips in the construction and is now using them — making a local doctor and her patients ill. “There was no reason to deny that re-zoning application, the height was within the confines of the existing zoning,” Cullen said. “It’s unfortunate that the developer is not holding up their end of the bargain.”

Maki House was packed on Oct. 13 as Crystal Beach and Lakeview residents came out to hear what the candidates for Bay ward had to say. Oni Joseph, Alex Cullen, Shawn Little, Mark Taylor and Terry Kilrea attended the debate and took questions.

Oni Joseph said more consultation with the community would help to prevent these kinds of problems going forward. “Now we have a community where the doctor is

away,” she said. “That’s not good.” Shawn Little said he would like to see a community design plan put into to place so that if a development comes along, the neighbourhoods have the tools in place to work with the developer for something that fits. “I think we can see that worked quite well in Westboro,” he said. On the issue of transit, Mark Taylor committed to looking into what it would take to return bus route 59 — an express bus to downtown — to Crystal Beach residents. “I know it has been an issue that keeps coming up,” he said. “When OC Transpo measure the usages, it’s not always accurate, because it’s pretty clear people are using the bus.” Another key theme was access to recreation. “It’s pretty packed in here,” Grant Millar, a member of the Crystal Beach-Lakeview Community Association, said, pointing around the meeting room at Maki House. “I think you can see how tough it would be to hold a volleyball game in here. What do you plan to do about the lack of space in the ward?” Terry Kilrea committed to making the former site of St. Thomas school open for community use. “I will get that done for

Play structure up and running at Meadowlands Public School JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
It was years of work and 185 truckloads of sand that brought together the tools and funding for the new play structure at Meadowlands Public School which officially opened on Oct. 12.
The old play structure was removed last year after it reached the 24-year mark. The parents on the school council have been working hard for a year to come up with the money for the new structure — which came with a price tag of almost $20,000. Angela Lowe, who was a big part of the fundraising last year, said that the whole community uses the struc-

ture. In an earlier interview with Nepean This Week, she said that students had a craft show and sold magazine subscriptions to raise the funds. They also received money from the school board and through a grant with the city. Meadowlands principal Mark Schenk asked the students to say a big thank you for those people who helped put the new play structure in place. “There were a lot of people who put in a lot of time to get this going for our school,” he said. “It was almost a month ago that we sat here for an assembly and talked about all the great things that are happening at Meadowlands. It’s going to be a great year.” During a morning assembly on Oct. 12. Schenk picked a name out of a basket and one lucky Grade two student was chosen to take the inaugural slide down on the new structure.

In the dwindling days of the 2010 municipal election, candidates of Knoxdale-Merivale and College wards are doing what they can to make their message heard. “We held a meet and greet to bring council candidates in wards 8 and 9 together with our readers to help them make informed decisions,� Suzanne Landis, managing editor for Nepean This Week, said. Candidates got a chance to let residents in attendance know where they stood. Metroland Media, publisher of Nepean This Week, inpartnership with the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce held an event on OCt. 12 to help the candidates do just that. “I have been to 1,500 homes three times,� Ralph Anderson — a candidate up against College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said at a meet-and-greet on Oct. 12. “I wanted to do a drop in the spring, summer and fall so I could get my message out.� Anderson has some new ideas about preferential balloting and wants to be the change he wants to see at city hall. “After a lot of years complaining I decided to put my money where my mouth is,� he said. Another College Ward candidate Catherine Gardner said she has had some luck with apartment buildings near the intersection of Baseline Road and Clyde Avenue. “I am talking to a lot of people who say that I am the first candidate who has shared my ideas with them,� she said. Gardner, who has been a long-time accessibility advocate, is campaigning on changes to our transit system and fiscal responsibility at city hall. She prints her signs and material in black and white at Staples and has made her own signs. “I know some of the other signs look nicer,� she said. “But I think if you’re campaigning on being careful with tax money it should start with you. I have a pay-as-yougo system. Someone gave me $50 the other day so I am going to have more pamphlets printed.� Knoxdale-Merivale candidate James O’Grady says there isn’t enough hours in the day to get everything done, but is pleased with the support he has received. “I am happy to say most of Trend Arlington is behind me,� he said. O’Grady has been releasing platforms on various policy issues and hopes to release his plan for Merivale Road in the not-too-distant future. He has also been holding weekly community events in the ward’s different neighbourhoods to get his name out there. “So far I think I am the only candidate who does this,� he said. Jules Ruhinda, another Knoxdale-Merivale candidate, said that he is knocking on doors and plans to spend the money he would have spent on signs to rent a bus and get people out to the polls.

One, two, three lawn signs bwa ha!
Hydro prices will keep rising
T
he scary season is upon us. Soon ghosts, ghouls and vampires will be roaming our streets, knocking on our doors, demanding our attention. Yes, the end of October can only mean one thing. We’re holding a municipal election. What’s even more scary is how people select whom to vote for in an election. Some of our lazy brethren are too busy to educate themselves on the issues and where the candidates stand. The candidates unfortuately have picked up on the electorate’s proclivity for laziness if the graveyards of election signs blighting our greenspace are any indication. They’ve turned to the Madison Avenue school of thought — why educate when you can advertise? You see, the Madison Avenue candidate figures a citizen’s vote is influenced proportionately to the number and the size of the election signs dotting our streets. It only makes sense. The candidates’ ability to govern, their intelligence, experience and ideas can only be deduced by the tried-and-true method of counting lawn signs. Obviously they picture us as clones of the Count from Sesame Street. One lawn sign, two lawn signs, three lawn signs, bwah ha ha! Don’t like the lawn-sign school of winning elections? Well, we warn you, the alternative is frightening. It involves reading a newspaper (the one you hold in your hands is a good start), researching a candidate’s platform on google, attending debates and — GASP — applying analytical reasoning. Hmmm, picking a candidate based on their record and what they promise to do. We know. Shivers. But using the lawn-sign method of voting, while simple, might backfire a few years into the candidate’s term of office. Either way, Happy Halloween.

To the editor, Duguid who is the energy minister for Ontario insists the 784,000 households in the province that are already on time-of-use billing, “ do not see a dramatic shifts” in hydro costs. Wait a minute Mcguinty and Duguild promoted this as cost saving for Ontario. As more people get there hydro bills they are seeing they have almost doubled in price some people have actually cried when they open there bill. Duguid said, “I think we got it just right in terms paying producers of solar, wind and other forms of green energy, who can earn as much as 80 cents per kilowatt hour in 20year contracts this will attract new investment that’s required to build a green energy economic hub here in Ontario.”then Duguid says “we would not have got through this summer without serious problems, disruptions and brownouts. These are critical investments but Tax payers paid Bruce power last year 57.7 million not to produce hydro then Mcguinty cancels a contract for a Natural Gas power plant in Oakville at a further cost to tax payers and the government has no idea how much it will cost in penalties to cancel the $1.2 billion Oakville gas power plant, Then McGuinty suggested TransCanada will give the province a break yes that’s you the tax payer. members seat. .So if were paying Bruce Power not to produce Power and the Oakville plant is not needed as there is no need for it why are we paying 80 cents a Kilowatt for Green Power if it is not needed at a cost 20x more than gas or nucular power and I also would like to note in Ontario, the cost of residential power by 2015 is seen at 21 cents/kWh, nearly triple the price in 2015.

Anne Downes, who has been teaching surgery and anesthesia at Algonquin College for four years, said she will be presenting on veterinary medicine as a career. “People aren’t as familiar with other careers in veterinary medicine,” said Downes, who lives between the rural Kanata and Carp line. Choices like a veterinary technician and assistant are available, she said. “A veterinary technician is like a nurse to a doctor,” said Downes, who has been a veterinarian for 25 years.

Veterinarian Michelle Lem is giving the general public the opportunity to get a feel for being a vet. The mini-vet school, which is held at Algonquin College for five consecutive Friday evenings allows people considering the profession or those who are just curious to experience hands-on work. “It’s for the general public, you don’t have to have any knowledge about animals or veterinary care,” said Lem, who lives in Kanata Lakes and is taking her master’s degree in epidemiology at the University of Guelph. After partaking in the mini-medical school at the University of Ottawa, Lem said she thought it would be a great idea to have the same thing for veterinarians. \ In its second year, Lem started the vet clinic to raise money for Mission Veterinary Care program, which provides pro bono health care to animals of the homeless. “We started doing clinics at the mission,” said Lem, who has been running the program for seven years. “I wanted to be able to contribute in some way to the community. We’re definitely reaching the people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to vet care.” She said the animals she sees are well taken care of and what she offers is largely preventative health care, such as vaccinations and de-worming. “It’s slowly starting to be accepted that animals play a role in the lives of those who are socially marginalized,” she said. “Grooming is an issue. A lot of people don’t have access to grooming facilities. But for the most part these animals are in very good health. Most of the clients I see put their animal before themselves.” Starting on Oct. 22, the mini veterinary school costs $100 for adults and student and senior discounts are available. She said there will be a handful of guest speakers, including an animal cancer surgeon, professors from the Ontario Veterinary College and Algonquin College, an

BACKPACK OF GIFTS The Children’s Shopping Village is being held at the Bridge Church in Kanata (formerly Kanata Wesleyan Church). People pay $20 to fill a backpack with items for needy children. “For $20 you get to pick a red or green backpack,” said Tegano, who has been part of Operation Christmas Child for 13
STARTED WITH SHOEBOXES Operation Christmas Child began in 1993 with people filling shoeboxes with needed items. The organization sent out 69 million shoeboxes from 1993 to 2008 to 130 countries. Organizers decided to switch to backpacks because they are more permanent and practical than shoeboxes, said Tegano. “That’s kind of a little twist we put into it. We thought a backpack is more permanent, they can reuse them again,” she said. Tegano said she gets her three children involved every year with donating a backpack. “We put in as much as we could for each kid,” she said. This year, Tegano said she is hoping to send out more than 100 backpacks. “We’re trying to really get people out from the community,” she said. All the items are will be available at the church. Tegano said people can include photographs or written messages, but no outside presents can be included. “We need to know what’s going in the bag,” she said. The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 30 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Bridge Church, located at 285 Didsbury Rd., Kanata.

Imagine the delight on a child’s face when they open their first-ever Christmas present. A washcloth, bar of soap, toothbrush; items that are taken for granted in Kanata homes but provide joy to a child living in a Third-World country. Such is the gift Operation Christmas Child provides during the holiday season. “They go to war torn countries and where there have been disasters,” said Roslyn Tegano, who is helping put on this year’s fundraiser, The Children’s Shopping Village. Last year, Operation Christmas Child delivered a shipment of backpacks filled with gifts to Haiti. The shipment was delayed by four months because of the earthquake but the items were well received in the wake of the natural disaster. “For most of them this is the first gift they’ve ever gotten,” said Tegano, who lives in Bells Corners.

Residents were out in force on Oct. 14 cheering the end of renovations at Thorncliffe Place Retirement Home in Bells Corners. The home, opened in 1989 and saw some repairs to the kitchen and a new front canopy for the entrance which will keep the rain off while residents and their visitors unload from their vehicles. Don Francis, the home’s owner, said
the idea to make the canopy higher was encouraged by his son Michael. “He wanted it to kind of be my legacy,� Francis said. “Now we have something big enough for vehicles to get through.� Francis also hinted at other renovations for the facility, but said residents would get a break from the construction work for the winter. “I thank everyone for being very patient while we had the front entrance closed off, but I think we have an amazing final product,� Francis said.

Healthy bones – preventing falls for seniors stronger and more solid. It’s also important to prevent bone fractures from falls. Look in and around your home for possible hazards that could lead to a fall. This could be poor lighting, throw rugs or mats, slippery footwear and icy or cracked sidewalks. How can you keep your bones strong and healthy?
Public Health Nurse
Just like our heart and our lungs, our bones support us and keep us moving during our daily activities. As we get older, we gradually start losing bone as our aging bodies try to replace older bone tissue with new. For older adults, bone fractures such as a broken hip can be devastating. To keep seniors healthy, it’s important to keep bones as strong as possible and reduce the risk of falls. Keeping bones healthy means eating right. Milk and milk products contain the essential vitamin D and calcium needed to meet your body’s needs. Check Canada’s Food Guide for healthy eating tips or ask your doctor if you need a supplement to get the right amount of calcium and vitamin D. You can also ask your health care provider about ways to check for bone loss. Being active is another way to keep bones strong. Physical activity should include weightbearing and muscle- strengthening exercises to help your bones stay strong. Weight-bearing exercises like climbing stairs or walking work your bones and muscles against gravity. These activities also help bones become
• Follow Canada’s Food Guide for a well balanced diet. • Include foods that contain calcium and vitamin D in your diet.
• Be active every day. • Reduce fall hazards in and around your home. • Check with your doctor about the health of your bones. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) offers falls prevention presentations to seniors’ groups within Ottawa. Call the OPH Information Line at 613-580-6744, TTY 613-580-9656 or email healthsante@ottawa.ca for more information or for a copy of A Guide to Preventing Falls. 414840

Stallions hand Raiders their eighth-straight loss Parent nets winner in overtime DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
It may have been their best effort in recent memory, but that didn’t stop the Nepean Raiders from losing their eight-straight game to the Kanata Stallions on Oct. 17. Stallions right winger Gabriel Parent banged home a rebound past an outstretched Dan Altshuller with 3:01 remaining in overtime to give the Stallions the 3-2 victory and continue the Raiders’ misery at the Nepean Sportsplex. “I wasn’t sure it went in,” Parent said. “I thought I shot it inside the net, but then I saw that all my players were happy.” Coupled with a pair of 4-2 losses to the Ottawa Jr. Senators on Oct. 10 and to the Brockville Braves on Oct. 15, the Raiders haven’t won since knocking off the Stallions 5-3 on Sept. 24. Trailing 2-1 late in the third period, it finally looked like the Raiders’ fortunes were going to change. Leading scorer Brent Norris scored his second goal of the game on a wonderful shorthanded goal as he took a pass from defenceman Ryan Johnston and walked around Stallions blue-liner Will Leedy, tucking the puck into the open side. Then goaltender Dan Altshuller – replacing starter Michel Kowalew, who went down with a left ankle injury after the opening period – robbed Stallions centre Adam Fulton less than a minute later by diving across the crease to take a sure goal. Nepean then carried the play for the remainder of regulation, peppering newly-acquired Stallions goalie
Scott Shackell late in the third. But it was all for naught. “We were just trying to build some momentum,” Altshuller said. “I really thought we were going to get one by the end of the game. “It was a good comeback. We haven’t had a point in awhile so it was good to get the point today.” Despite the win, Stallions coach Adam Dewan wasn’t exactly thrilled after the game. He felt his players took too many undisciplined penalties as Raiders winger Cole Weedmark got under the skin of many of his more skilled players. Plus, the power play only capitalized on one of seven chances, with stand-out forward Kyle Rankin netting a first-period marker. “We didn’t play a good game at all,” Dewan said, while giving praise to his goaltender for his play down the stretch. After a chippy second period, which carried over into the third, the game did settle down. Norris felt that may have played to the Raiders advantage – even though he did get into a heated verbal joust with Stallions left winger Zach Rodier. “We have a lot of skilled guys on our team so when it comes to that, we believe we can be there,” he said. However it wasn’t to be on Oct. 17, in keeping with recent trends. Aside from Nepean’s lengthy losing streak, Kanata has been on a role of late. Since losing their first five games to start the season, the Stallions have gone 7-2-1. “We’ve changed our style and our systems up a bit,” Dewan said, adding that the coaching staff started set-
ting goals for the players after the tough start. While the Raiders have been struggling of late – now sitting in a tie for second last in the CHL at 4-7-4 – the message around the room was clear: It’s going to come. “We’ve faced a lot of injuries, but we need to go back to the way we were playing at the start of the year and just doing the simple things and playing hard,” Norris said. The Raiders were playing without captain Craig Cowie and defenceman Daniel Baslyk. Even with the string of tough defeats, Altshuller thinks his team his primed to break their trend sooner than later. “We’re playing Pembroke on Wednesday (Oct. 20),” he said. “I think we may surprise some people.” Notes: Michel Kowalew re-aggravated an injury to his left ankle in the first period and was removed from the game. He did manage to skate gingerly to the bench during a stoppage in play early in the second period and stayed on the bench … The Raiders do have reason to be optimistic. Nepean went winless in 17 games during the 2007-08 season and still managed to reach the CHL final … Spencer Cobbold scored Kanata’s other goal in the second period, recording his sixth of the season … Shots in the game favoured Kanata 32-32. RAIDER OF THE GAME: While he hasn’t had abundance of success recently, Brent Norris sure did against the Stallions. The centreman netted two goals, now reaching 12 for the season.

The John McCrae Bulldogs may not have gotten the start they wanted, but a second-half surge propelled them to a 2-0 victory over the Sir Robert Borden Bengals in high school senior boys’ AAA & AAAA soccer action on Oct. 15. Despite John McCrae’s undefeated 3-0-2 record, it was the Bengals carried the play for much of the first half on the slick and muddy pitch at the Nepean school. “You’re lucky we didn’t score in the first half,” Bengals head coach Dave Barbier said to his John McCrae counterpart Craig Steab – both for whom are coaches at the Ottawa South United Soccer Club. But the Bulldogs came out much stronger in the second half – scoring just minutes in on a goal by striker Anisul Hague – which allowed them to pace to victory. “We were missing a few players today and we’re still trying to figure ourselves out as a team,” Steab said of his team’s slow start. After Borden allowed the first goal of the match, they went for

Heading into the match with a 1-2-2 record – good for sixth place in the West Division – the Bengals felt they needed a win against the Bulldogs in order to secure the third-seed in the play-off bracket. “We were hoping to get a little more offence through it,” Barbier said, “but when the offence didn’t come, we created more opportunities for them all over the place.” The result was second Bulldog goal, this one by Jamie Sargeant, who netted a pretty, long-range strike.
“It was good but it all came from executing a counter-attack,” Steab said. “I don’t think we expect a player to score a goal like that too often.” It very easily could have been 3-0, if not for a great save by Bengals keeper Chris Brunet on a scoring chance by Hague in the dying moments of the game. Now sitting in second in the West Division second-seeded, Steab feels this is the first time in seven or eight years that a McCrae senior team has been in contention for a city championship. Although Steab knows regular season victories don’t necessarily equate to success in the postseason, he likes the way the players are beginning to gel. “That was probably the best team performance we’ve had all year as opposed to individuals,” he said, noting Hague was his team’s man of the match. “It was nice to see them coming together around play-off time.” With the loss, the best the Borden can now hope for is to finish fifth – even if they win their remaining two contests. Barbier said he’s hoping his team can improve its offensive output heading into the playoffs – which has been a problem all year. “Our team the last two years has gone to OFSAA and we’ve always had someone who could put the ball in the net,” he said. “We’re loaded with very good defenders without anyone who can actually score goals.”

OTTAWA RIVER PATHWAY RIPARIAN MANAGEMENT PLAN: CARLING TO GREENVIEW
Public Information Session
A few years ago, my friend required a convalescent stay after being hospitalized.
The National Capital Commission (NCC) invites you to participate in a public information session on the recommendations of the Riparian Management Plan. This plan focuses on vegetation management in the shoreline corridor between Carling Avenue and Greenview Avenue, along the Ottawa River Pathway.
We chose Lynwood Park Lodge. She received such excellent care, that now both of us have decided to make Lynwood our permanent home.
The information session represents a follow-up to extensive community discussions dating back to 2001 under the leadership of the Belltown Neighbourhood Association and the City of Ottawa. The 2003 Belltown Trees and Vistas Community Study was used as a starting point for both phases of the project.
We tried another retirement home for a while, but realized that what was lacking was the level of caring, compassion and concern that we received at Lynwood.
For more information about the issues addressed under the Riparian Management Plan, please visit www.canadascapital.gc.ca.
Even our family doctor said that we were lucky to be here!
The public information session will take place at the following time and location:

City maxed out: Haydon JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Ottawa is drowning in red ink. That was the warning message of mayoral candidate Andy Haydon at a press conference in his Barrhaven home on Oct. 13. The city on the other hand is trumpeting its perfect credit rating and financial well being are in their forecasts. Haydon forecasts however, that with the project coming — such as light rail — that will push the city’s debt load to $1 billion. Michael Fitzpatrick, a spokesperson for the city, said the debt at the close of Dec. 2009 was $539 million, with the figure projected to rise to $733 million by the end of this year. Haydon said the city’s balance sheet, which showed debt in the amount of $866 million. He blamed the numbers on incumbent mayor Larry O’Brien, saying the increase in debt has gone up 300 per
cent in four years. “This is a tragic case of irresponsible and extravagant expenditures unmatched in Ottawa’s history,” he said. “You can borrow forever, but whether you like it or not, you have to pay the interest.” Haydon likened the city’s situation to a credit card debt, dismissing the treasurer’s claims that we are only at seven per cent of our allotted debt according to Ontario Municipal Board. “It’s like having debt on your credit card and saying, ‘well I am not maxed out,’” he said. Falling back on his plan for bus rapid transit, Haydon said that the extravagant light rail program will only add to the debt. Bus rapid transit forms the cornerstone of Haydon’s campaign platform. He doesn’t like the LRT project and said he chose to run because he couldn’t convince Jim Watson to “see the light.” Ottawa currently has a “Triple A” rating according to Moody’s Investors Service.

Ottawa’s Biggest Blood Donor Clinic on Monday, Oct. 18 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the arena floor at Scotiabank Place. For a second consecutive season, the Senators are encouraging their fans to roll up their sleeves in a community wide effort to reach a goal of 400 units of blood and 200 new OneMatch Stem Cell registrants on Monday. “We’re asking for the support of Senators fans to help make this blood donation event a life-saving difference within our community,” said Cyril Leeder, Ottawa Senators president. “To ensure that hospital demands continue to be met in Ottawa, almost 3,000 new donors are required this year alone. This figure is in addition to donors who are already providing blood on a regular basis.” While there is a consistent need for all blood types, Type O negative blood donors are being especially encouraged to participate at the Be Red, Give Red! drive. Type O negative blood donors are considered ‘universal donors’ as their blood can be provided to anyone in need in the case of an emergency. “Participants on Monday could also register as a stem cell donors on the OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network with a simple cheek swab to collect DNA, said Steve Harding, Executive Director of Fundraising and Development with Canadian

Images of summer in the arctic NEPEAN FINE ARTS LEAGUE Beth Shepherd was the artist of the month for October. She was chosen by the Nepean Fine Arts Leage. Her work is currently on display at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre. Sea Change: Images of Summer in the High Arctic comprises a body of work reflecting my experiences in the High Arctic in August 2008. The works you see in this exhibition have been painted in the last two years while the drawings were done on location in 2008. All the images are representational: some are realistic landscapes while others are more ethereal in nature, symbolizing the effects of climate change and specifically, loss of permanent sea ice. As an artist, I seek to bear witness to the splendour of the polar regions before they are lost forever due to climate change and industrialization. Sea Change not only provides me a unique subject matter that I am passionate to paint but it offers a way of expressing and communicating these issues. I continue to muse on the land of the midnight sun and I am just now beginning to explore ways to express broader issues in my art. Paintings and Drawings by Beth Shepherd Nepean Fine Arts League Gallery Located in the Nepean Creative Arts Centre 55 Stafford Road, Ottawa October 2-29, 2010
