The Wabano Centre for Ab-original Health announced it will partner with PLC Con-struction for the construction of its new, 2,322-square-metres complex.

The centre will offer health and community services.

The announcement has been years in the making and came at a fundraising luncheon, sup-porters and friends a tradition-al meal of buffalo, salmon and wild rice to welcome PLC Con-struction to the community.

The entire project will cost $14.2 million. The federal and provincial governments have committed to contributing $2.3 million each. The centre start-ed their fundraising campaign this past summer to raise the remaining $9.6 million.

Author, playwright and story-teller Maria Campbell, a Métis elder, spoke at the event, giving words of wisdom on the impor-tance of a centre for Aboriginal Peoples in an urban area.

“I have children with a sense of community and yes, it is from me, but it is also because of the centre we attended,” Campbell said.

Standing in front of their supporters, Wabano’s executive director, Allison Fisher, said she could not believe that this day had come.

“We are fi nally going to build,” Fisher said, smiling.

Douglas Cardinal, the archi-tect for the Wabano Mamawi Centre, has been dreaming of this day for years, hoping for the day the dreams would be-come a reality.

“I know it is going to be a suc-cess working with PCL,” Cardi-nal said.

Steven Schmalz and Mark Martin from PCL Construction stood as the centre welcomed them.

“We are looking forward to

the challenge,” Martin said of the new project.

The centre will continue to fo-cus on health in a holistic man-ner, maintaining that to heal the physical being, the mental

being also needs to heal.However, the new expansion

will also focus on many more aspects that will infl uence the community in a positive way. A new catering business will offer

community members the abil-ity to learn employable skills.

Another revenue genera-tor will be fashion line, using skills many Aboriginal women

If all goes to plan, Overbrook residents should have a footbridge to connect their neighbourhood to the proposed light-rail line on the other side of the Queensway.

City staff are putting the fi nishing touches on a report detailing plans for the pedestrian bridge, which has been in the works for about a year.

The proposed bridge is a 100-metre long link between the Ottawa Stadium, where the Fat Cats baseball team plays, to the north side of Tremblay Road.

If council gives it the green light, the 4.5-m wide bridge would provide a way for pedestrians and cyclists to get from the residential area of Overbrook to the train yards and proposed light-rail line. Currently, people must walk about two kilometres along Coventry Road to reach that destination, said Colin Simpson, a city planner who is working on the proj-ect.

It connects two key city assets, Simp-son said: the baseball stadium and the train station.

In an unconventional move, the pro-posal will also include recommendations on the design of the bridge, said Simp-son.

City staff are recommending the bridge be built in a trestle style to mimic the look of the historic VIA train sta-tion.

“We saw an opportunity to create a gateway feature,” Simpson said.

A simple pedestrian bridge of that size, similar to the one at Castlefrank Road, would cost around $5.5 million, Simpson

said. The trestle bridge, which would be done in an iron-look metal, would run closer to $7.5 million, he said.

So far, the only concerns that have been expressed over the concept have been focused on the potential cost, Simp-son said.

The design option was chosen by a group of stakeholders that included resi-dents, business people and community associations, Simpson said.

The project will be considered during city budget discussions next year, Simp-son said. It is contingent on the extension of the light-rail line, and would likely be piggybacked on another construction project at that location, whether it is the LRT construction or work on the Queen-sway.

Simpson said the city’s transit commit-tee will receive the report on Jan. 17, 2011 and make a recommendation for coun-cil’s meeting at the end of that month.

DONALD STREET FOOTBRIDGE

Getting over the highway isn’t the only concern in Overbrook. Sheila Perry, head of the Community Council of Overbrook, would like to see a pedestrian bridge across the Rideau River to allow people to access Sandy Hill, and vice versa.

“Right now, it’s at the talking stage,” Perry said. “We would love to have the east-west access – that is defi nitely the top choice.”

Connecting the two neighbourhoods would be a “luxury” that would allow students and families to have more op-tions for housing locations that still al-low them to access the central Sandy Hill

area and the University of Ottawa.The proposed bridge would connect

with Somerset Street, which already has a pedestrian link at the other end, across the Rideau Canal.

Currently, many cyclists and pedestri-ans use an old railway bridge that runs under the Queensway, but that isn’t ac-cessible in the winter and it doesn’t con-nect to a route on the other side of the river, Perry said.

The main goal would be to improve

safety for pedestrians and cyclists, who are vulnerable on busy, traffi c-fi lled bridges.

The proposed bridge would replace a seasonal wooden footbridge that was in-stalled each spring in the area, according to a city report.

The proposed crossing of the Rideau River is part of a pedestrian and cycling link that is shown in the Sandy Hill Sec-ondary Plan, the Ottawa Cycling Plan and the Ottawa Pedestrian Plan.

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

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

The NCC is planning to plant more trees and protect existing vegetation along the river north of Carling, between Andrew Hay-don Park and Britannia Park. A bike and pedestrian path were re-paved this fall and benches and other features were added, and now the NCC is looking at how to improve the environmental as-pect of the area.

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

The NCC will put up educa-tional signs advising people that the pathway is a rehabilitation area and no cutting is allowed; however, if trees continue to be cut down, the NCC will erect a 1.8-metre (six-foot) high chain link fence to protect the trees.

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

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

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

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

to see cutting,” he said.Daniel Aarons, who lives on

nearby Boyce Avenue, said he doesn’t want to see any more trees cut down. But he added that he thinks the area is already pret-ty forested and wondered if it was necessary to plant more trees.

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

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

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

Many homes in Belltown would have been built when the area was cleared of all brush and served as a beach from around 1910 to 1970, Mulligan said. She said the area is probably more forested now than it has been for 100 years, because of a recent re-alization about the importance of vegetation in “riparian” or

waterfront areas.“We are starting to see regen-

eration, and we need that more than ever because of increasing urbanization,” Mulligan said.

There are three areas where the views will be maintained, Mulli-gan said. Three stormwater drain-age areas restrict tree growth, cre-ating natural clearings .

“We agree – that is an opportu-nity for a clear view,” Mulligan said.

Residents in the area led the charge to stop cutting when they commissioned a study in 2002 and ’03. The results of that report, called the Belltown Trees and Vistas Community Study, formed the basis for the NCC’s rehabili-tation plan.

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

Low-hanging tree branches would be trimmed back to pre-vent them from injuring cyclists and pedestrians. Branches lower than three metres high from the

path would be cut back. One me-tre on each side of the path would also be cleared.

Planting could begin next year, as both the City of Ottawa and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority have committed funds to purchase plants and trees, Mul-ligan said.

PATHWAY REHABILITATION

A number of other pathways are being built as part of the NCC’s Capital Pathway rehabili-

tation program, which will im-prove and expand paths in the 170-kilometre path network.

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

The fi rst phase of a 7.7-km sec-tion of the same path is just fi n-ishing construction between Rus-sell Road and Davidson Road near Bank Street and Albion Road. It will be completed by the end of November, Mulligan said, and the second phase is slated to be done by the spring. The NCC has asked the city to consider putting a pe-destrian crosswalk with a light to allow people to safely get across the four lanes of Bank Street just north of the Capital Golf Centre.

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

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

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

Ottawa residents can now pur-chase staple food items at their local Canadian Tire.

Encouraged by the positive response from customers, Cana-dian Tire has expanded its food program across all nine stores in Ottawa, which includes two stores that have been offer-ing food over the last couple of years.

“As a customer-driven or-ganization, Canadian Tire is

consistently working towards becoming a one-stop shopping destination for our custom-ers,” says Duncan Reith, se-nior vice president, merchan-dising, Canadian Tire. “The food expansion in Ottawa is a direct result of the consumer demand we have experienced since offering food in select stores.”

Canadian Tire first offered food in its store in the Orleans community in November 2008, followed by the store on Carling Avenue in November 2009.

Starting this month, all nine stores in Ottawa will sell a range of food staples including pantry items, fresh bread, dairy and frozen prepared meals. The selection will include several nationally-recognized brands at competitive prices.

Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited is has 482 Canadian Tire stores across the country. More than 58,000 Canadians work across Canadian Tire’s or-ganization from coast-to-coast in the enterprise’s retail, fi -nancial services and petroleum businesses.

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

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

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

Council votes on the fi rst

stage of the Lansdowne site plan, as well Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s motion to swap land to save part of the South March Highlands from development, are set for

Nov. 19 and 24.“We can still deal with some

of it,” Wilkinson said. Council can vote on 12 acres

of land that can be swapped at no cost, Wilkinson said.

The developer, Urbandale, al-ready agreed to that, she indi-cated.

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

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

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

substantial amount of money.“You don’t green-light a proj-

ect like that in one vote,” he said. “You can’t separate them.”

He noted that the next council appears to be fi scally conserva-tive, so Doucet said he doesn’t

see why the new councillors would want to take on the debt associated with the Lansdowne project as proposed.

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

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

In a previous memo to coun-cil dated Oct. 26, O’Connor told councillors that transferring previously approved funds be-tween projects would not be re-stricted.

Much of the city’s corporate activity can continue during this period, because council has delegated authority to city staff through the approved budget.

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

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

Mathieu Fleury won his Rideau-Vanier seat on council with just 88 votes. Although not many, it was enough for the young 25 year-old to claim victory and start on a road that he promises will be more than successful for his constituents.

Fleury threw his hat into the ring in July and always be-lieved that he would win, comparing the race of politics to a race in sports: “You go into it to win. Everything that I did, I did for a reason during my campaign,” he said.

However, he believes the real reason that he took over the seat from Georges Bédard, who has been the ward’s coun-cillor since 2003, was that he was authentic.

“When I knocked on doors, I’m sure people said, ‘OK, he is young…but he is listening,’” Fleury said. “Sometimes I would listen with people for half an hour.”

Listening was Fleury’s main campaign promise and one he intends to embrace in a variety of ways.

“When I was a kid, my dad always said you have two ears and one mouth. You have to listen twice as much as you talk,” Fleury said.

Fleury grew up in the area and has worked for the city for the past 10 years as a lifeguard. He feels that from be-ing a lifelong resident and city worker, he understands the frustrations of the average resident. A recent graduate from the University of Ottawa, he has a master’s in Human Kinetics but has always had an interest in politics and is ready to be a voice for his community.

During the campaign, Fleury created a daily blog where people could read about how his campaign was going. It also gave people a place to sound off about issues in the area. Fleury intends to continue this blog to allow the com-munity to lodge complaints, raise issues and speak directly to him. The blog will not take away from phone calls or offi ce appointments, but Fleury said it will manage com-plaints and allow for a clear process and a record of the issues that are affecting the community.

The main objective Fleury wants to offer to members of the Rideau-Vanier community is hope and comfort in the fact he will try very hard to make their voices heard.

Growing up in a vocal family defi nitely gave Fleury the drive to speak his mind.

“Family dinner always created heated discussions. You could sit at that table and argue all night, but at the end of the day, we were still a family,” he said.

This is the type of politics that Fleury wishes to bring to city council. He believes that any issue that has been raised in the past few years will not have quick solutions. A discussion with other councillors could be a good start, Fleury said.

Other issues at the top of Fleury’s list of priorities stem from his own Human Kinetics background. He wants a

Rookie councillor ready to take on Rideau-Vanierstrong focus on sports and nutrition in the com-munity.

“We need to have programs that refl ect 2010,” he said, feeling strongly that programs could be adjusted to be proactive on health issues, as well as offer more schedule fl exibility.

“People do not all work nine-to-fi ve jobs and the programs in this community need to understand that,” Fleury said.

There is one issue that Fleury struggles with and has asked for the public’s help to solve. While campaigning, he found there were many commu-nity members he could not communicate with be-cause of language barriers.

“My duty is to serve every resident and at this time I am struggling with how I will be able to reach out to some families,” said Fleury, who is bilingual. “I am open for a discussion on the mat-ter.”

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

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

The Christmas orna-ments series typifi es modern-day tradition, depicting colourful glass-blown bauble images cre-ated by Canadian design-er Michael Zavachy and is available in domestic, U.S. and international rates.

The Madonna and Child stamp acknowledg-es the religious signifi -cance of the holiday and features a spectacular representation of this sa-cred scene depicting an image of a sculpture cre-ated by Antonio Caruso.

Canada Post issued the very fi rst Christmas stamp in the world over

100 years ago on Dec. 7, 1898. The only indication it was a Christmas stamp was the worlds XMAS 1898 written across the bottom of the stamp.

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

“This year’s Christ-mas stamps represent the fi nale of a banner year for Canada Post’s stamp program,” stamp services director Jim Phillips said in a state-ment. “Many of our stamps have sold out.

“As well, they have created a historical mosaic of our country in 2010: the Olympics, the girl guides 100th an-niversary, our Navy’s 100th, and the Roadside attraction series, just to name a few,” he contin-ued.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is understandable. You’ve prob-ably been to all-candidates meeting where, before you get to hear the can-didates you’re interested in, you have to endure what feels like hours of the ravings of nuisance candidates, going on about substances in the water, magnetic orbiting public transit systems and the need for cat licences. But here’s the thing: not all little-known candidates are

nuisance candidates; many of them have interesting things to say. Some have spe-cifi c issues that are worth considering. Others are gaining valuable campaign experience that will make them serious candidates the next time.

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

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

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

New media provide some of the solu-tion. Those seeking to know anything at

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

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

Outgoing council should take note of voter confi dence

Steering the boat with a hockey stick

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

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

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

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

While there is no legal requirement to push ahead

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Newly elected councillor Tim Tierney entered the race for city council not as a politician, but to be an advocate for his community.

The winning councillor-elect for Bea-con Hill-Cryville actually started over two years ago with a campaign to keep a school from closing in Tierney’s commu-nity. A whirlwind of other issues began to arise and each time, Tierney found himself on the frontlines of every fi ght. After receiving a positive response from the community, becoming a city council-lor seemed like the next logical step to helping out his neighbourhood.

The president of the Beacon-Hill North community association, Tierney’s back-ground includes web development and management. Having lived in the Beacon Hill North since 1995 he knows the resi-dents’ concerns fi rst hand and can not wait to start tackling the issues when he takes offi ce.

Since he jumped on board, Tierney has barely stopped and even though he does not take over the seat until Dec. 1, he al-ready has many plans for the big day.

“I am going to come out of the gate running,” he said. “There are a lot of is-sues that need to be addressed and I am working hard to do the best I can.”

Describing himself as an “outward-fac-ing” councillor, Tierney plans on being as open to the community he represents as possible with his Facebook page. He will also keep his online comment board “Talk to Tim” available. This online tool offers resident’s a direct link to Tierney himself.

On Dec. 1, Tierney’s ward webpage will

give residents the opportunity to sign up and voice their concerns on specifi c is-sues.

Tierney hopes to also gain the support of those who did not vote for him, say-ing he plans on working twice as hard to gain their trust.

Tierney has a long list of issues he wants to fi ght for. He has strong feelings about a number of hot-button issues, in-cluding the proposed Kettle Island Bridge – an issue that has him working hard to fi nd the best solution to make all parties happy. Add in the issue of taxes, Lansd-owne Park and transit, and Tierney has a busy four years ahead of him.

Transit is something that concerns him as both a resident and a politician. Throughout his campaign he spoke about the need for better transit and, as an avid passenger of the 24 bus, he knows that necessity is a very real thing.

“The way I see it is how can you talk about transit, if you yourself, don’t take it,” he said.

Full of energy and excited to get his feet wet, he is also very excited about all the new blood that will be joining him at city council. Tierney feels this group of city councillors will make Ottawa resi-dents proud.

“I think this will be the most success-ful council term to date in Ottawa,” he said.

Peter Clark has returned to politics with one main objective in mind: the city is spending resi-dents’ tax dollars and it is time to pay more atten-tion to how that money is allocated.

Clark, 72, won the Rideau-Rockcliffe council seat with 887 votes on election night. Once the formal regional chairman for Ottawa-Carleton, Clark is well known for his thoughts on spending and fi nances. When it comes to his fi rst order of business, he plans to curb the city’s spending.

Clark also intends to address the many other issues that have concerned Rideau-Rockcliffe residents over the past few years. From the Kettle Island Bridge to light rail transit, Clark plans to be a good representative for his constituents.

“Every corner (of the ward) has their own is-sues,” he said. “There is a lot to look at, but I plan on giving them all a great deal of attention.”

The city will see 10 new councillors this time around.

“A lot of rookies are making promises, but you can’t promise everything,” Clark said.

Clark indicated he does not intend to make any promises that he cannot keep, adding he will fo-cus the next four years on dealing with issues in a functional matter.

When it comes to the Kettle Island Bridge, Clark said he feels there is a solution, but it is not in the backyard of Rideau-Rockcliffe.

“The city is going to realize that roads do not

mix with people very well,” Clark said, joking that once the prime minister realizes it will be in his backyard, a different solution may fi nally arise.

The Kettle Island Bridge will stoke the fi res of debate for councillors this term, just as it was a hot issue during the election. Neighbouring Bea-con Hill-Cyrville councillor-elect Tim Tierney and Clark both have their differing opinions about the bridge. Clark welcomes a good talk with Tierney to help solve the issue together.

As for getting along with other councillors, when asked about his serving on council with mayor-elect Jim Watson, a laughing Clark said, “We worked together before and we will work to-gether again.”

As the dust settles on the recent elec-tion of school board trustees, the newly elected and incumbent trustees are get-ting ready for four years of taking educa-tion to the highest level.

Katie Holtzhauer will be taking over the reins for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Zone 12, Innes/Beacon Hill-Cyrville, with current trustee David Moen retiring from school board.

Holtzhauer ran her campaign on a promise to focus on communication be-tween the community and the schools.

“I believe that there are a lot of edu-cational benefi ts to working with the business in our community,” she said. “I want to build stronger relationships be-tween the two.”

Holtzhauer’s goal is to keep the line of communication open between the board, parents and the community. She hopes more meetings will bring forth the main issues as well as help her and the board fi nd viable solutions to the problems.

As a mom, Holtzhauer wants to create the best learning environment not only for her children, but for everyone’s, and that is the real reason she decided to run.

“I am humbled people have faith in me and I am looking forward to making the next four years a success,” she said.

Ottawa Catholic School Board trustees in the east saw stability with their election results. Katalin Sheskay was acclaimed for in Zone 5 (Beacon Hill-Cyrville/Innes) while Therese M. Cousineau was re-elect-

ed for Zone 10 (Rideau-Vanier / Rideau-Rockcliffe / Somerset).

Sheskay wanted to show her apprecia-tion and was the only trustee who placed “thank-you” stickers on her campaign signs.

“I was extremely honoured when I found out I was acclaimed and I wanted to thank my constituents for continual support,” Sheskay said.

As for her main objective this upcom-ing term, Sheskay wishes to see technol-ogy take a larger role in the students’ education. She will continue to work with the Catholic school board to make sure a four-year pilot project integrating high-needs schools with high-achieving students will benefi t from a multitude of technological advances.

“Textbooks these days become outdat-ed too quickly and I think we need to ex-plore more online options and ebooks to save money and stay up-to-date,” Sheskay said. “I am excited we have a balanced budget and that we have the opportunity to put this motion forward.”

It was a tight race for Cousineau, who intends to make communication her top priority for her next four years.

“To be able to increase the communica-tion between schools and parishes would be my main objective,” she said. “Parents do not know how to get in contact some-times and I think if the parishes fi lled this communication gap a lot more could

get done.”Cousineau indicated she has a few is-

sues she wants to make some headway on. She would like to see French im-mersion programs in all schools, as well as another language offered in areas where many cultures are represented. Cousineau also plans on fi ghting to keep inner-city schools open.

“This is a great board and I am happy I have the opportunity to continue as a trustee…I am excited for the next four years,” Cousineau said.

Photos by Hadas ParushAshton Starr, above, with Canada without Poverty Advocacy Network, declares that housing is a right during a protest at Parlia-ment Hill on Oct. 27.

Above and below, protestors yell into loudspeakers during a demonstration against the government’s plans to cut funds for social housing.

The Front d’Action Populaire en Reamenagement Urbain (FRAPRU), a Quebec co-alition of grassroots housing committees, protested the government’s decision to cut $1 billion from the housing budget for the poor on Oct. 27 on Parliament Hill. More than 450 people participated. Below, protesters make their position clear.

PROTESTING FOR THE POOR

We all know someone who has been touched by

cancer. My “someone”, my best friend Christelle, passed away in France seventeen years ago. She was eighteen.Christelle was booked for surgery immediately

after her brain cancer was detected. Complications from surgery led to paralysis. Then came radiation, with painful skin problems and fatigue. Finally, chemotherapy: nausea, immune defi ciency, hair loss.Today, there is new hope. The doctors, nurses,

therapists, social workers and psychologists who help our patients battle cancer are fi nding a better way.This fall, The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre unveiled

Eastern Ontario’s fi rst CyberKnife. Cyber-what? CyberKnife is the world’s only robotic radio-surgery

system. In other words, it performs radiation therapy with precision and effectiveness of surgery. This allows doctors to get at otherwise inoperable tumors without any incision, pain or discomfort to patients. Krista Kowalchuk, our fi rst CyberKnife patient,

underwent the fi rst of three one-hour treatments with her doctors, neurosurgeon John Sinclair and

radiation oncologist Jason Pantarotto, to treat two tumors located on her spine. Before CyberKnife, Krista’s only options were brain

surgery (she has had 5 to remove other tumors) or fi ve-week courses of daily radiation treatment that could damage not only her tumors, but healthy tissue as well.Today, she needs

no anesthetic before her procedure, experiences only slight soreness on the spot where she has been treated, and spends less time in hospital.C y b e r K n i f e

is especially effective against brain, lung, prostate, spinal, liver, pancreatic and kidney cancers. While it is not “the cure”, it does help ensure that patients like Krista get more compassionate, effective, and timely care. Christelle would approve. Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP Communications and

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

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

Munter will offi cially begin his duties as chief executive offi cer of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) on Jan. 24, 2011, when he will succeed the current CEO, Dr. Robert Cushman.

Munter’s most recent role was as the executive director of the Youth Services Bureau, a children’s mental health agency in Ottawa with 20 locations in the city.

“I reported to Alex Munter when I was Medical Officer of Health,” Cushman stated in a press release. “Time and again, I saw him bring peo-ple together to work through tough issues like the reorgani-zation of ambulance services, our smoke-free bylaw or the expansion of home support services.

“He has the tenacity and knowledge needed to be LHIN CEO.”

Munter, 42, served as a city and regional councillor for

Kanata from 1991 until 2003 and was defeated by Mayor Larry O’Brien in the 2006 municipal election.

Munter has served on the Ot-tawa-Carleton District Health Council (1994-97), as co-chair of the Regional Task Force on Health Care (1998-99) and as a member of the Ontario Pub-lic Health Capacity Review Committee and chair of its governance panel (2005-06).

The Champlain LHIN has an annual budget of $2.25 billion to fund 11 agencies across the region.

LHINs oversee nearly two-thirds of Ontario’s health-care budget by planning, integrat-ing and funding services for hospitals, community health centres, long-term care facili-ties and mental health and addiction services. While they do not directly provide the services, they are intended to provide a community-wide fo-cus for how health-care funds are allocated.

A one-of-a-kind health screen-ing program for refugees is back on its feet after receiving $50,000 in funding.

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

The program received $77,500 from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network when it started two years ago, and has since received about $45,000 more from the LHIN, but funding ran out in March, said Jack McCarthy, executive direc-tor of the Somerset West Com-munity Health Centre.

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

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

high-risk population it serves.The CIC had been fi nding money to keep the program going since last spring, McCarthy said.

“It’s an important piece to get them ready and starting to adapt,” he said. The nurse practitioner, assisted by cleri-cal helpers, provides immuni-zations, OHIP cards and basic health screening to refugees.

These refugees may have suffered severe persecution, including torture, imprison-ment, forced labour and forced relocation in their homeland and are considered to be more at risk than the general refugee population.

McCarthy said last week’s funding announcement bodes well for a potential expansion of the program to include all newcomers – something Mc-Carthy said he hopes could happen as early as the spring. He said he is optimistic that the LHIN could play a role in that expansion by providing ongoing funding, instead of the one-time grants it has been receiving to this point.

Riverside Drive has the dubious honour of being on the annual top-20 list of worst roads in Ontario once again.

Following a six-week cam-paign in which CAA North & East Ontario (CAANEO) en-couraged motorists to voice their concerns for crum-bling infrastructure in their respective communities, the Ontario Worst Roads Campaign has released its highly-anticipated Top 20 Worst Roads list, with an astounding six roads from CAANEO’s region making the fi nal list.

Of the 20 roads on the list, Riverside ranks 14, margin-ally worse than Carling Av-enue, which sits in the 20th spot.

“Appreciating the diverse municipal roadways nomi-nated to this year’s list, CAA North & East Ontario is ex-tremely pleased with the results, as it clearly demon-strates the fact that any mu-nicipality, regardless of size, can have a road nominated and recognized as being in need of repair,” said Korey Kennedy, manager of public

and government affairs for CANNEO. “With a munici-pal election having been re-cently conducted in Ontario, CAANEO is hopeful that new and returning munici-pal politicians will continue to keep their respective mu-nicipal infrastructure port-folios at the forefront.”

This year six roads from CAANEO’s territory made the Top 20 list, proof that

motorists in many local com-munities are frustrated with aging roads and bridges.

Pelican Falls Road in the Municipality of Sioux Look-out came in at the top of the list, partly because an area high school took the initia-tive to let others know about the state of the rural road-way.

One voter noted the poten-tial dangers associated with

driving on Pelican Falls Road: “As a charter bus driver I do frequent trips into Pelican Falls (High School) and the road is in places unsafe with potholes, frost heaves and broken asphalt. Previously, I have refused to drive stu-dents on this road due to the condition of its surface. This defi nitely is the worst road that I have had to drive on in Ontario. Something must be done by the powers to be be-fore a tragedy occurs.”

No strangers to the Top 20 list, Riverside Drive and Car-ling Avenue again made the list, a clear indication that Ottawa drivers want to see rehabilitation fi nally clean up these main roadways, noted a statement issued by CAANEO.

A new road on the Top 20 came from Pembroke, as residents complained about its broken and patched pave-ment.

The Top 20 list of worst roads is now in its eighth year. It is a joint venture be-tween CAANEO, CAA South Central Ontario, CAA Ni-agara and the Ontario Road Builders’ Association.

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

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

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

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

“It’s just a title,” shrugs Semple, who also had to come up with around $30,000 on his own the previous two seasons. “For me, I know it’s just sort of a politi-cal issue. I still have the respect of the coaches and the other athletes, so that’s what’s important.”

Semple will carry the same training

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

One goal Semple has set for himself this year is to crack that top-15 ranking,

which would translate into fully funded national team member status for next season.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Only a few months old, the Ottawa Elite Running Team was born from an idea by Hillcrest High School grad Mike Woods, who now directs the team along with manager Elly Robertson, a St. Mark Catholic High School grad.

The 23-year-old former Pan American junior champion in the 1,500 metres has struggled through major injury problems the past few years, which started in his fi nal year at the University of Michigan.

Ready to tackle the comeback trail once again after his second surgery on the na-vicular bone he’s fractured three times, Woods felt a pull to remain in Ottawa, where he enjoyed his best success as a teenager.

“I really do like Ottawa,” Woods ex-plains. “I have a great group of friends here, and the best running I’ve ever had was under Ian.”

The problem Woods faced was that he didn’t really have many other top run-ners to train with locally. So he contacted a few old friends who also recently com-pleted university in the States as well as a few others who will join them after the NCAA season.

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

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

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

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

“It’s been cool seeing this project I en-visioned taking off,” says Woods, who’s thankful he no longer has to train alone like at the start of the year. “On those winter nights where you’re doing a long run and it’s freezing, you don’t have that sense of team. Now I have fun every single day in practice because of these guys.”

Clark is “not sure at this point” how OERT will stack up against the other teams come nationals, although he knows they possess “a solid crew, especially on the men’s side.”

The OERT men’s team is targeting a second-place national fi nish behind the Speed River club, which includes several Ottawa natives who train at what is cur-rently recognized as the “mecca” of Ca-nadian distance running in Guelph, Ont.

“The idea is to create Ottawa as a place to be for elite runners,” Clark adds. “Not to overstate it, but it could become a bit of a ‘mecca’ as well.”

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

The Ashbury Colts fell one step short of a perfect football season with a 19-14 loss to St. Matthew last week.

The plus side for the Colts, however, was that they had already wrapped up the regular season crown the previous week thanks to their 6-3 win over the St. Peter Knights.

The Oct. 22 victory in Rockcliffe was the key triumph during a 5-1 campaign as Ashbury dethroned the reigning kings of high school football, the 2009 OFSAA bowl-champion Knights, who fell to a na-tional capital opponent for the fi rst time since 2007.

“It was certainly fantastic to get the win,” Colts coach Dwayne Smith said af-ter his troops pulled out the narrow win. “It’s been awhile since we’ve beaten St. Peter, so I think this will do wonders for my players’ confi dence.”

The matchup between the two 4-0 squads that hadn’t won by fewer than 11 points in any previous contest proved to be a major defensive battle. Neither team could fi nish any of their drives on offence and managed only a fi eld goal apiece in the fi rst half.

John Funston played a big role in help-ing Ashbury win the fi eld position battle in the second half thanks to several big kick returns and running plays.

The Colts couldn’t convert the efforts into points, however, until an enormous fumble recovery by Daniel Arango set his team up deep in St. Peter territory with two minutes left to play.

“I’m really proud of my defence,” Smith said, noting his players were undersized compared to most of the Knights. “They moved around well. They demonstrated

agility and mobility to get themselves into position to make tackles and some big plays.”

Despite the fact that it was the fi rst time kicker Andres Diaz faced a fi eld goal attempt to potentially decide a game, the second-year football player stepped up and booted the ball through the posts with authority from 31 yards out.

“It’s the biggest one I’ve made,” Diaz grinned.

“I was very excited. I couldn’t control my emotions – I was just running up and down.”

The long-time Ottawa Fury soccer player said he managed to trick himself into thinking the kick wasn’t as crucial as it actually was.

“I was trying to soothe it at down, try-ing to tell myself it wasn’t that important, so when I got up there, I was calm and re-laxed and I was able to put it through the uprights,” recounted Diaz, whose team will likely have to take down the Knights once more if they want to win a city ti-tle. “In the fi nals, hopefully maybe I can match it with a big fi eld goal then.”

The victory also assured the Colts of home fi eld advantage in the post-season.

“We’re a pretty tough team to beat at home, so it’s pretty big,” Smith noted. “There’s a lot of pride and tradition. These guys really step it up when we play in our backyard.”

The Ashbury players are hungry to make the school’s fi rst appearance in the national capital league fi nal in three years, and are even more starved for their fi rst championship since 2002, their coach emphasized.

“I’m real proud of these guys,” Smith added, identifying leadership from veter-ans and overall speed as big keys to the team’s success.

“And hats go off to St. Pete’s for play-ing a good game. Now let’s play again.”

Colts fall in fi eld hockey semisThe Ashbury Colts fi eld hockey team

also suffered its fi rst loss on the season

last week, although their defeat was more costly since it came in the semi-fi nals.

Merivale eliminated Ashbury in a 4-1 contest on Oct. 26 following the Colts’ six previous regular-season victories and a win in the quarter-fi nals.

Ashbury fi nishes fi rst in football

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OFSAA cross-country location up for debateDAN PLOUFFE

[email protected]

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

Two locations are the front-run-ners – Walter Baker Park in Kana-ta and the Hornets Nest in Black-burn Hamlet.

“Both courses have their draw-backs, and both courses have something to offer,” explains Glebe cross-country coach Kirk Dilla-baugh, noting opinion is divided amongst the OFSAA organizing committee members. “Personally, I’d like to see it out in Kanata. It’s something different.”

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

“Some of the concerns out there is that it’s kind of boring,” Dilla-baugh adds. “It’s not as exciting as it could be since you’re running around soccer fi elds for the most

part. We do have that little stretch through the woods, and the hill, but it’s pretty fl at for the most part.

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

But the Hornets Nest also has its problems – two-way traffi c dur-ing a few segments in the woods can cause confusion, and with the spread-out course, it’s quite dif-fi cult for spectators to follow the action.

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

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

“OFSAA’s the fi rst week of No-vember,” Dillabaugh cautions. “If we get any snow, ice or freezing rain – even without it, those down-hills are pretty treacherous with the pavement.”

The athletes who wear cross-country running spikes especially hate pounding down on pavement,

although Natalie Côté sees a solu-tion – it would require lots of them, but the Colonel By coach suggests they put down padded mats to cov-er the paved section.

“(The Hornets Nest) is not the best course, but the other one is a fi eld where you zigzag the whole time,” Côté says. “I think cross-country should be kind of muddy and tough. They keep saying the (Kanata) course for the specta-tors, but cross-country’s about the kids.”

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

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

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

LAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

The papers aren’t signed yet, but the Ottawa Fat Cats are con-fi dent the Intercounty Baseball League Team will return to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium.

Attendance at the team’s fi rst season last year didn’t reach the levels the stadium saw with the Ottawa Lynx or Rapidz, but league offi cials say they couldn’t be happier with the result.

“Nobody played in front of more fans last year,” said league commissioner Joe O’Neill, add-ing that teams like the Missis-sauga Twins only draw an aver-age of about 50 fans per game.

Average attendance at Fat Cat games was around 2,300, said Davyd Balloch, one of the three partners who form the Ot-tawa Stadium Group (OSG) that operates the stadium and the Fat Cats. When attendance was at its lower end during a rainy July, the team still drew crowds of around 1,900, Balloch said.

“That’s massive,” O’Neill said.

While that number hardly makes the 10,000-seat stadium look full, with the largest stadi-um in the league bar far, O’Neill said the league is pleased with attendance at the games. The Fat Cats would love to see that average rise to 3,000 or 3,500 this year, Balloch said.

Despite some talk that OSG couldn’t pay the stadium’s bills, the rent is paid until March and the group has every intention of staying, Balloch said. In fact, they would prefer to see a three- or fi ve-year lease term, instead of one year.

“I have complete confi dence,” O’Neill said. “I see no reason why the City of Ottawa wouldn’t want to renew their lease.”

The group invested about $60,000 to repair and clean up the stadium last year, after it had fallen into disrepair.

Starting the Ottawa team was a gamble because the rest of the Intercounty Baseball League’s teams are located at the other end of the province, in southern Ontario. Because of that, the Fat Cats must pay for visiting teams’ accommodations – some-thing that isn’t likely to change in the near future, O’Neill said. And given that the Fat Cats have smashed other Intercounty at-tendance numbers, O’Neill said he couldn’t justify putting that cost on teams that have less rev-enue.

O’Neill said the Fat Cats have different challenges than the league’s other teams due to the

size of the stadium, but the team has brought some innovative marketing ideas to the league, including features to keep kids entertained at the games.

The next-largest stadium in the league is located in London, Ont. and seats 5,000, O’Neill said.

The Fat Cats are looking to attract more fans with single-header games this year. Because of the team’s distance from other Intercounty teams, it usu-ally makes more sense to pack more games into each weekend with double headers, Balloch said. But six-hour double head-ers are lengthy for the type of audience the Fat Cats are trying to attract – families. Last year, the Fat Cats played four double headers and seven single games. This year, Balloch said the team would like to see a minimum of 15 single headers in the sched-ule and only one or two double headers – something O’Neill said the league is trying to work out in the 2011 schedule.

Also in the works for the fu-ture – but not likely in 2011 – is the creation of more teams in the geographic area between Ot-tawa and the rest of the league’s teams in southern Ontario, O’Neill said.

In terms of fi nances, Balloch said the baseball end of OSG’s business “took care of itself.” He said if OSG is able to sign a lease with the city soon, it will give the group more time to market the season. Last year, OSG only

got the keys to the stadium four weeks before the season opened, Balloch said.

The Fat Cats are going to continue to push for people to use transit to get to games (last year, OC Transpo tickets were part of passes and the team ran a shuttle between the stadium and the St. Laurent Transitway station). Balloch said the num-

ber of parking spaces available at the stadium isn’t really an issue, and OSG has worked out agreements with nearby Hamp-ton Inn and the Department of National Defense building to share their parking lots.

Balloch said there has also been interest from people want-ing to rent the outdoor stadium for concerts or other events, such as corporate picnics.

“More and more, people are fi nding that it’s an entertain-ment centre, not just a stadium,” Balloch said.

Fat Cats looking to return to Ottawa Stadium

Credited with setting the league’s highest attendance record, Ottawa Fat Cats gen-eral manager Duncan Mac-Donald has been named the Intercounty Baseball League’s executive if the year.

The Fat Cats set an IBL at-tendance record of 2,320 fans per home date in the team’s fi rst season last year.

“Nobody works harder and gets more done than Dun-can,” O’Neill stated in a press release. “He is passionate about the game of baseball and about bringing quality baseball back to Ottawa. He is a credit to the community and to our league.”

Duncan is one of three part-ners of the Ottawa Stadium Group, which owns the team.

McDonald is originally from Brockville and began his career in baseball as a catcher with the Brockville Bunnies. He played in the IBL from 1980 to ’84, starting at age 19 with the Waterloo (junior) Expos and the Waterloo (senior) Ti-gers. He landed a scholarship and appeared at the NCAA Di-vision III College World Series for New York College in ’85 and ’86.

The Fats Cats expansion team played its fi rst season out of the 10,330-seat Ottawa Stadium in Overbrook.
