A downtown men’s shelter is on a mission to � ll the gaps in their cli-ents’ health care needs.

The Ottawa Mission announced it is now working with the Cana-dian Mental Health As-sociation to enhance the mental health services at the shelter. The partner-ship will add a full-time outreach worker who spe-cializes in engaging and

connecting with transient clients, such as those who frequent shelters.

Jordanna Marchand, the Ottawa Mission’s coordinator of mental health services, said part-nering with the Canadian Mental Health Associa-tion is an obvious thing to do.

“They are the experts,” Marchand said. “They have the skills and knowl-edge to help.”

As a young woman, Kathleen Cummings was living on the streets of Vancouver’s notorious east side.

Struggling with addiction, it was the help of some key indi-viduals that allowed her to turn her life around.

Now, she’s doing the same for pregnant teens as she takes over the executive director role at St. Mary’s Home in Vanier. St. Mary’s Home provides a range of programs and services for young pregnant women, young moms and dads and their chil-dren through the organization’s outreach centre and residence.

“I am a person that came from being an extremely vulnerable youth, I lived on the streets of Vancouver’s east side, I lived on the streets of England. I moved from England to Vancouver at 17 to improve my life and it got worse,” Cummings said to a small crowd at the home’s Open Doors Open Hearts event on May 5.

“I feel so privileged to be a part of an organization that has created a space of empowerment and working from a hands up model than a hands out model.”

It was that same type of sup-port that helped Cummings change her life and get to a point where she was working as a street outreach worker, helping women

in Vancouver to make sure their children didn't end up with protective ser-vices.

“It was a mixture of things, individuals and key people at the right time that approached me and saw I had transfer-rable skills and skills to be proud of,” she said.

She later moved to working on changing the system, advocating against inequalities that exist.

Taking the executive director position at St. Mary’s Home, Cummings said she feels as if she’s gone full circle.

“Doing this work is my passion.”

Cummings’ �rst day on the job was April 11, and for now, her goal is to lis-ten and learn from staff about what’s needed at St. Mary’s Home.

“I’ll respond to priori-ties as I learn about them,” she said, adding funding will always be a challenge.

It is a challenge Cum-mings will have to deal with, said outgoing execu-

tive director Nancy Mac-Nider, who held the role for 31 years. That, as well as staying current.

“St. Mary’s Home was founded in 1933, teen pregnancy is a different societal issue in 2016,” MacNider said, adding challenges and stigma still exist. But in 1933, many of the women who were sup-ported through the home’s programs were middle or upper class, hiding their pregnancies and most put their babies up for adop-tion.

“It used to be hush, hush,” MacNider said of the women’s pregnancies.

“They were visiting an aunt, maybe.”

But the organization had to open up, not only to other demograph-ics, but also in welcom-ing both young men and women who needed help, and needed more help than ever.

Many today suffer from trauma, mental health is-sues or addictions, she said.

In addition to adding an outreach worker, the Mission has also partnered with the Royal Ottawa Hospital which will offer the services of a part-time psychiatric nurse to the Mission’s mental health team.

“We strive to help shelter residents navigate through whatever crisis they are in and to help them feel valued, respected and understood throughout the process,” Marchand said.

Marchand explained the need is great, with an exist-ing wait list to see a psychia-trist who visits twice a month. Adding the nurse being made available by the Royal will help more clients navigate to the services they need, she said.

“Shelter life is very dif�-cult,” Marchand said. “They don’t necessarily have access to the same mental health ser-vices you or I have and access is really important to getting the help you need.”

Marchand said she believes that these two partnerships – and in turn the services they

provide – will enable the Mis-sion to connect with more in-dividuals and help them.

“Different people respond to different approaches,” she said, adding that both the out-reach worker and the nurse expands the Mission’s ability to make more clients feel com-fortable and reach out for the help they need.

STRIVING FOR BETTERThe Mission has been mak-

ing mental health a priority, with Marchand and a fellow co-worker being certi�ed to teach mental health �rst aid to the Mission’s frontline staff. The certi�cation, offered through the Mental Health Commission of Canada, helps individuals recognize if someone is struggling with a mental health crisis. Accord-ing to Marchand, the program provides people the skills and knowledge to help those with a potential or developing men-tal health problem.

Marchand said the certi�ca-tion process was very informa-tive and is an asset for herself and staff at the Mission.

“It’s all about providing better services for our clients,”

she said. “You learn that there are

a lot of signs that maybe you wouldn’t know were a sign related to mental health. We want to make sure they are not falling through the cracks.”

The Ottawa Misison �rst opened more than 100 years ago, offering food, clothing and shelter to homeless men or men facing dif�cult times.

Since it �rst opened its doors in 1906, the shelter has ex-panded to currently having 235 beds, including 21 beds for palliative care and 36 beds for addiction treatment programs.

In addition to the mental health programs, the Mission has a learning centre, runs a job training program and houses a medical and dental clinic.

New partnerships add much needed sta�

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Jordanna Marchand, the Ottawa Mission’s coordinator of mental health services, says two new partnerships the Mis-sion has entered into should help �ll some gaps in mental health services at the men’s shelter.

City planning facelift for the ByWard MarketJennifer [email protected]

The city’s �nance and eco-nomic development commit-tee approved a plan to spend $1 million on a facelift for the ByWard Market.

It’s part of a larger over-haul planned for the area, which will include a change of governance and a pedes-trian plaza on George Street.

The staff report presented to the committee suggests a look at the establishments that make up the market.

It calls the city’s markets, where vendors sell produce and other handmade goods, overly “bureaucratic” and suggests the Municipal Ser-vices Corporation would oversee the revitalization.

The changes would also include clearing the space in front of the city-owned Byward Market building for benches and other seating, which will cause some rejig-ging of the existing stands.

Jasna Jennings, executive director of the Byward Mar-ket Business Improvement Area, said the organization is excited for a revitalization of the area, but wants to see more collaboration.

“The investment in the public realm and the gover-nance structure are good,” she said.

But Jennings said the orig-inal intent of the study was an overall zoning review and the focus shifted to improve-ment of a city-owned asset.

She said the members of the BIA want to see mean-ingful and transparent pub-lic consultation and would like to participate in the re-newal as members of a work-ing group.

“The change represents great opportunities if it’s done well, but could have tremendous consequences if done poorly,” she said.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said the point of the MSC is to get away from “micro management” by politicians.

Peter Hupe, who runs a stand at the entrance on George Street, said he’s wor-ried about his booth being moved, as a shift in location could spell disaster for his bottom line.

Part of the plan for the George Street pedestrian plaza would be two “book-end stands.” The committee decided that building the stands would cost $100,000 and they were going to ear-mark city funds for the proj-ect, but Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder put a hold on the motion, until staff de-termined if there’s interest in sponsorship from the private

sector.“We should assess the in-

terest from private compa-nies before committing to money from the city’s pock-ets,” she said.

Mayor Jim Watson said he wanted the market to be a showcase.

“I think probably the most beautiful building in the whole market is the Byward Market building,” he said. “And when you’re coming down George Street, where the LRT station is going to be, right now you can’t see it because it’s basically blocked by plastic tarp stand hold-ers.”

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli looked for a busi-ness case to spend city dol-lars on the renewal.

“We are being asked to spend $1 million now and another $10 million down the road, but I am just not sure what the building is get-ting out of this,” he said. “I am not against sprucing up the market, but that’s a lot of money to make it look pretty.”

Staff said the market is the city’s second biggest tourism draw and they’ve seen a steady decline in ven-dor stands.

The project will be heard by council before it’s �nal-ized.

It was a mixed bag of re-actions from Beacon Hill residents who attended a community consultation on May 5 at the Earl Armstrong Arena about a proposed Costco move to Shoppers City East.

Some are happy about the Costco moving in, but oth-ers expressed concern about the big box store joining the neighbourhood and the traf-�c that it will generate in the area.

“It’s been back and forth,” said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney of the resident feedback .

“It’s been very mixed.”Costco wants to nove

from its existing Innes Road location to a new location in the Shoppers City East plaza at Ogilvie Road and Blair Place.

Tra�c concerns trump Costco deals for Beacon Hill residents at meeting


The back lot of Shoppers City East will begin to look a lot di�erent as the current building will be demolished and a Coscto will replace it. Developer Trinity Group and Costco reps hosted a public meeting about the plans on May 5.

Spreading Good Vibes

“I think it’s great,” said Pauline LeBlanc, who said she walked to the consulta-tion meeting from her near-by home after shopping at the Innes Road Costco.

She said her family has several roads they can use to access their neighbourhood so traf�c isn’t a major con-cern, but understands it is an issue for some of her neigh-bours.

There were also many in attendance who expressed concern that the megastore will be a bad �t for the neigh-bourhood, and cause too much traf�c.

As well, there were con-cerns that the bulk pur-chasing store is too close to schools.

Several had just found out about the public consulta-tion that day when they read about it in Metroland Media community newspapers.

“For us this is going to be a nightmare to get in and out of our street,” said Louise Michaud, who lives on Clo-

verlawn Crescent and attend-ed the meeting with her hus-band. “We’re pretty upset.”

She said they were dis-pleased to �nd out about the meeting on the day it was held, and don’t feel there is a lot they can do because the property is already properly zoned to allow a store such as Costco to move in.

“We’re just going home very disappointed,” she said.

The site plans need to be approved by the city, but the zoning is already in place for a big box store to go on the lot in question.

Tierney said that the site is currently just a giant parking lot.

“They didn’t have to hold this (consultation), but I pulled the councillor card,” Tierney said of why develop-ers and Costco reps held the hastily called public meeting.

He said he shares some of the community concerns about traf�c, and also wants to see more greenery added to the site plan.

The Costco on Innes Road currently causes massive

traf�c headaches, with po-lice of�cers required to direct traf�c during peak periods. The new location won’t have signi�cantly more parking, as the 740 spots on Innes will be increased to 786 at the new location. But there will be more exit and entry points controlled by traf�c lights.

The existing store is 123,000 square feet, and the new store will be 160,000 square feet, said Costco di-rector of real estate Renee Rutherford.

There will likely be “some tweaks” to the design that was presented at the open house based on the public feedback, Rutherford said. The goal is to open in fall 2017, but depending on the approvals process with the city it could be delayed until 2018.

Tierney said he will be actively trying to persuade some small to medium gro-cery stores to take over the former Costco spot on Innes, as it was the only store with groceries in the immediate area.

Letters to the Editor

Letter to the editor:

The current debate over safe injection sites in Ottawa brings to mind the intense debate over the crack-pipe program in 2005. That pro-gram was abruptly can-celled that year on very short notice by then mayor Larry O’Brien and his council. And what happened?

The McGuinty provincial government stepped in and agreed to continue funding that safe-inhalation pro-gram; if it had not it would have put itself in the posi-tion of having abandoned its public health responsibility and mandate.

Indeed, the province’s de-cision to resurrect that very important harm reduction program was supported and validated by commonsense, medical research, need, and expert advice. That decision vindicated the strong recom-mendation of the then medi-cal offi cer of health Dr. Salis-bury to save and continue the program, prior to its cancel-lation by council.

The crack-pipe program, certainly not unique to the City of Ottawa, was a prov-en, cost effective means to re-duce the harmful side effects of drug use. The fact that city council politicized this

public health issue/debate smacked of the worst form of inept administrative and political leadership, border-ing on sheer incompetence and apathy.

Obviously, public health was not high on the agenda for that council. Has anything changed when it comes to public health?

Of interest, during that time Jim Watson was a mem-ber of the Ontario legislature from 2003 to 2010 and was appointed minister of health promotion on June 29, 2005, up until the 2007 election.

As a member of cabinet and with such an important portfolio, Jim, being from

Ottawa, must have had input into the McGuinty govern-ment’s decision to resurrect the crack-pipe program. Safe injection sites and the crack-pipe program both have the common objective — reduce the harmful effects of drugs.

The question must be asked, how could our current mayor support the crack-pipe program in 2005 and not support safe injection sites now? An explanation is in order from the mayor.

Emile Therien,Public Health & Safety Advocate,

Ottawa

Public health should be priority No. 1 in safe injection site debate

OPINION Connected to your community

Who would argue about the safety of kids? It’s a no-brainer, and no one would dare.

Bravo to those who want to introduce the money machine known as photo radar to the streets of Ottawa.

By cracking open the door to photo radar by using the old standby – we must do it to save the kids – the City of Ottawa’s transportation committee has tapped the gas and surged toward green-lighting photo radar as a traf�c enforce-ment tool.

On May 4, the committee recommended council ask the province for permission to use photo radar. At this point photo radar in Ottawa is being called a “pilot project” and would only be used in school zones.

And any revenue generated would be dedicat-ed to a “road safety” fund. The issue was slated to go to council on May 11.

“I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale rollout of photo radar on streets where it may not be war-ranted,” Mayor Jim Watson wrote in a memo in support of taking this route.

“Or for those who are concerned with the

tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.”

Those hesitant, concerned people once seemed to include Watson. But the safety of kids is the issue now, not an enforcement tool that does absolutely nothing to stop a speeding driver from motoring along on their merry way. Photo radar is a “the bill is in the mail” traf�c enforcement option.

The city still needs the province’s approval to move forward with its photo radar scheme, but it does have local MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, in its corner.

Yes, the former Mike Harris government did cancel photo radar use in the past, but that was a rare instance of government giving up a revenue stream.

And yes, if photo radar returns, keeping it to school zones would seem the least objectionable way to go.

The question is do you really trust a govern-ment to get its hands on a revenue tool, and stick to the narrow application of that tool?

History suggests the answer to that is a lot different than what we are hearing from city hall these days.

Photo radar is coming, you can count on it

Editorial Policy

Every once in a while a major restaurant in Canada or the U.S. announces that it is

abolishing tipping. There inevitably follows a wide-spread discussion in the news me-dia in which various people weigh in on the evils of tipping and why it should be abolished.

No one has made a convincing case yet.

Among the arguments you hear are these:

• Tipping doesn’t happen in other jobs.

• Tipping doesn’t happen in many foreign countries.

• Tipping the server is unfair to other restaurant employees, such as cooks, who work hard but don’t receive tips.

• The tips don’t reach the server anyway, but are scattered about to cover other restaurant costs.

• And maybe the owners get them.

• Tipping is inconvenient to customers, who have to �gure out what 15 per cent is and avoid the embarrassment of under- or over-tipping.

Although some of the other arguments may have validity here and there, it is probably the last that means the most to people. People don’t like having to tip, some of them for the reasons above, some of them because they’re just cheap.

But that’s not a valid reason to

abolish tipping. The valid reason to abolish

tipping will come when servers are paid a decent wage and don’t need to rely on tips to bring their incomes to a livable level.

Hardly anyone would argue that we are there yet. Wages are low, held down, in some cases by the existence of tips. But it does not logically follow that abolish-ing tipping would cause wages to go up, does it?

And while it is certainly true in some cases that the entirety of a tip does not reach the person for which it was intended, it is next to impossible to rectify that situ-ation. Just think what it would take to enforce that.

While some look wistfully to other countries, such as in Europe, that do not have tipping, they should look carefully too.

Serving has a higher status there than here, and servers are paid better.

So if we want to adopt the Eu-

ropean model, we have to adopt the entire European model, which means higher wages.

Higher wages for servers prob-ably means, and should mean, higher wages for other restaurant employees.

In turn, these mean higher prices on the menu. Will the people who want to abolish tip-ping eagerly accept that?

It would be good if they did. Having to rely on tips is not a pleasant situation for people in the serving professions.

But having to get by without them is even less pleasant, unless their job pays them more money.

It is not a dilemma that is eas-ily resolved. A drastic change in attitudes on the part of owners is called for.

Maybe it will come. There are signs that it will. But it won’t hap-pen tomorrow.

There are some years ahead in which the tipping option will still be presented to us, the consumers.

When you think about it, the consumers, the people at the table, have the least at stake in this dispute.

It does not make a huge impact on our lives whether we add a few dollars to a bill or not.

So why are some of us getting so self-righteous about it? Just leave the tip and move on.

OPINION Connected to your community

What day is it? asked Winnie the Pooh. “It’s today,”

squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh (A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh).

When it comes to living in the moment, which is appar-ently the secret to happiness, I’m crap at it. I nostalgically live in the past one moment, and worrying look to the fu-ture the next. Most mornings when I wake, I remember all the things I failed to accom-plish yesterday toward next week’s goal.

My husband frequently bemoans the fact that I’m already planning the next family meal, just as he’s “sit-ting down to enjoy this one”. According to ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu, “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

My loyal readers know I can’t meditate. But I have discovered a way to be more present. It comes in the form of my three-year-old daugh-ter. She wakes up nearly every morning with the same, happy call: “I’m awake!!” With those two words, she’s simultane-ously announcing her pres-ence to us and welcoming the day, fresh and new. She’s not

lamenting unfi nished business from yesterday, nor fretting over what’s to come. So pres-ent is she that “last year” and “yesterday” mean the same thing to her – her brain has matured just enough to let her know those words mean “already happened, so let’s move onto the now.”

If someone mentions an upcoming trip, she says, “well, we’re not doing that today” and she moves the conversa-tion forward. Once we were discussing a possible trip to visit family. She overheard, packed a suitcase full of doll clothes and announced, “I’m ready!” When we noted that it was a trip in the future, she turned to her brothers and said grumpily, “we’re not go-ing to Scotland today; we’re just having dinner.”

The future made her un-happy. But the present keeps her pretty mellow.

Breakfast is frustratingly slow sometimes, a tedious process if we’re in a hurry.

But for my daughter, it’s a chance to savour each bite. It doesn’t matter if it’s instant oatmeal or French crepes, she yumming and oohing over every morsel. A single walk down the block with this kid requires a 30-minute round trip, and not because she’s shuffl ing her feet. She wants to touch every plant, say hello to every neighbour. Trick or treating on Halloween required gargantuan effort on my part to pry her away from the neighbours’ doors: “I like your costume,” she’d say. “And, by the way, how is your mother?”

Earlier this month, she paused to admire the fi eld of blooming, yellow dandelions beside the rundown corner store. “Aren’t the fl owers beautiful, Mommy?” And she picks them, slowly and carefully, observing the bee on one, an ant on another.

She sees a man servicing a phone booth, and stops to observe the careful motions

as he wipes graffi ti from the glass, removes a coin box and polishes the phone receiver. “He cleaned it! We can see inside now!” The man smiles. They’ve made a connection, in the moment. And unlike me, the one who’s planning my next supper while eating this one (probably too quickly), my daughter has taken to say-ing grace and pausing before she eats. Her prayer usually goes like this: “Dear God.

Thank you for the nice food. Thank you for the nice family. Please help us not to cry or fi ght and to sleep well. Amen. Let’s eat!” Oh, the simplicity.

Of course, all this drives her brothers nuts. My sons, in all their pre-teen glory, no longer share the ability to “just be” like they used to. I wonder when they lost it. When did mornings become grumpy? When did a stroll in the park halt to satisfy their senses? I

feel nostalgic for a time when they didn’t have bad memories from yesterday or worries about tomorrow.

But perhaps they should simply spend more time with their little sister.

When I’m with my three-year-old, life inevitably slows down.

And it is truly a wonderful feeling. It’s probably as close to happiness – or as Lao-Tzu said “peace” – as one can get.

Leitrim Development AreaUpdated Serviceability Report

Class EA OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9bOpen House

May 25, 2016Fred G. Barrett Arena3280 Leitrim Road (corner of Bank St. and Leitrim Rd.)6:30 to 9 p.m.

By attending this meeting, residents will find out more about the Class Environmental Assessment (EA)process and updated serviceability for the Leitrim Development Area.

In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment Number 76 (OPA 76), the City of Ottawa increased its urbanenvelope and part of that expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). OPA 76 Areas 8a,9a and 9b (87.2 hectares) were added to the LDA as per Planning Committee Report Number 33(dated June 27, 2012).

The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the EA process. The Updated Serviceability Report isprepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing thatintegrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA.

To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open housewill address:

• The addition of the 87.2 hectares of developable area to the analysis contained in the 2007 FinalServiceability Report, including a review of the impacts of the OPA 76 expansion lands on existingwater, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure

• Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements to service theexpansion lands

• Recommendations on the overall LDA infrastructure system, including upgrades required to meet theCity of Ottawa’s level of service requirements for build-out of future development within the LDA

By participating at this meeting, you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.Information on the Updated Serviceability Report for the LDA is available on ottawa.ca/publicconsultations.

Residents are encouraged to provide comments throughout the EA process. All comments received will becollected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information,will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation,please email [email protected] no later than May 20.

Body found in Ottawa RiverBrier [email protected]

Police and fi refi ghters were at Petrie Island early the afternoon of Friday, May 6, after they received reports a body had been found.

Firefi ghters used the boat landing at Petrie Island to launch rescue boats.

A fi refi ghter on the scene said the boat needed to trav-el west of Petrie Island on the Ottawa River to meet up with boaters who reportedly found the body earlier in the day.

The body was found in the water in an area that is commonly used by paddlers using canoes and kayaks.

Ottawa fi re services con-fi rmed at around 12:30 p.m. that they were on the Ottawa

River assisting.The emergency service

boats travelled far enough

from Petrie Island that they were not in view from the general beach area.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Ottawa fi re’s marine unit was at Petrie Island at the boat launch Friday, May 6, to search for a body. Boaters found a body in the Ottawa River nearby, prompting the call.

Map helps direct local traffi c in Old Ottawa EastMichelle [email protected]

A business on Main Street has created a map to help lo-cals get around during con-struction.

As the latest road closures along Main Street in Old Ot-tawa East began on May 2, Green Door co-owner Ron Farmer decided to design a map to direct customers to his restaurant.

“If you don’t live in the area, you don’t realize how you can fi nd the businesses,” Farmer said.

Main Street northbound lane from Riverdale Av-enue to Clegg Street closed to traffi c on May 2 and will not reopen until Novem-ber 2016. As a result of the northbound lane closure north of Riverdale Avenue, OC Transpo routes 5 and 16, which serve the Old Ot-tawa East community, have been detoured from Main Street via Elliot Avenue to Marlowe Crescent then on to Clegg Street and back to Main Street. Farmer’s map

shows the same route for lo-cal customers to get around the closure.

Farmer also circulated the map to other businesses along Main Street.

“In order to come to the businesses, you need a route and there is obviously not a route to get to our busi-nesses, that’s why we made the map. This isn’t just a one week closure, this is six months, we needed to let people know what to do.” Farmer said, adding that many people don’t know that local traffi c includes customers who shop in the neighbourhood.

Farmer has been co-oper-ating the Green Door since 1988 and said the reason he loves Old Ottawa East is because it is tucked between green spaces, the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River and offers a different feel than operating a business in the downtown core.

The Main Street construc-tion — which will make a former four lane with park-ing road turn into the city’s

fi rst “complete street” which will feature cycle tracks, wid-er sidewalks, on-street park-ing and space for streetscap-ing – hasn’t been too bad Farmer said, with the res-taurant continuing to do well despite the road being ripped apart and access to

the building being diffi cult.“It is not in any way ter-

rible, and it’s really not dif-fi cult to get here, it’s just knowing how,” he said.

“Once it’s done, it’s going to be really good, it will be a big improvement – it wasn’t pedestrian friendly at all,

so it will make a big differ-ence to the neighbourhood and I think it will be more welcoming,” he said of the project

HONOUR PARKING

The handy map isn’t the only thing the restaurant has done to help local custom-ers during this construction phase. When the construc-tion began along the street a former paid parking lot next door to the restaurant came up for rent. The restaurant, Farmer said, decided to rent the space for customers and Old Ottawa East shoppers.

Not interested in ventur-ing into the parking meter business, the Green Door decided to make the parking lot a pay lot but operate it on an honour system.

“A lot of tickets used to got out so we decided we didn’t want that situation anymore,” Farmer said.

So when they took over the parking lot, instead of placing an automatic ma-chine, the business put a

box instead with a slot for coins, a suggested amount and “karma appreciation tickets.”

“People just pay what they want or can,” Farmer said. “A lot of people are be-ing honourable, we may even be breaking even.”

It is not certain whether the restaurant will continue to rent the space once the street construction is com-plete, but Farmer said it has been enjoying the feedback – both in the restaurant and in the pay box itself – that has thanked them for the oppor-tunity to be honest.

“We will continue for an-other year, it provides park-ing with construction on Main Street. The parking lot being run in this way is non-threatening and other businesses are happy with it. We have found that people are surprised, pleasantly sur-prised.”

A copy of the map is avail-able on the Green Door’s website, thegreendoor.ca, or at any businesses along Main Street.


This map should be able to help people navigate the area around Main St. during ongoing construction.

Volunteers are needed to help make the annual weekly summer barbecues in Brant-wood Park a success.

Organized by the Com-munity Activities Group, the weekly Brantwood Barbecue and Picnic will kick off on May 19 and will be held each Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The goal of the activities, the group has said about the weekly evening event, is to bring the community to-gether.

Hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie dogs and drinks are all available to purchase, with food and drink sales supporting the Community Activities Group’s programs and events.

Families are also encour-aged to bring their own pic-nic if they wish.

The weekly barbecue ses-sions began in 2012 and was created by the group as a way for residents to get out and

meet each other.There will also be activi-

ties organized for the eve-nings, including table tennis in the �eld house, soccer, vol-leyball, as well as �ag foot-ball equipment.

The activities group asks only that those who sign out equipment put it away again at the end of the evening.

The barbecues will con-tinue on Thursday evenings

throughout the summer at the Brantwood Park �eld house, located at 39 Onslow Cres., from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Any cancellations due to weather will be posted on ottawaeastCAG.ca after 4:30 p.m. on the day of the event.

Those interested in volun-teering are asked to contact [email protected] to �nd out how to help out.

IN THE MATTER OFTHE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

Notice of Intention to Designate

The City of Ottawa on May 11, 2016 established its intention to designate Kilmorie,21 Withrow Avenue, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property

Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue is a one-and-one-half-storey stone house constructed between1840 and 1850 in City View in former Nepean Township.

Cultural Heritage Value

Kilmorie has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Nepean Townshipand with Confederation Poet William Wilfred Campbell and for its design value as an example ofa 19th century vernacular stone house.

Kilmorie’s historical value lies in its association with the early development of City View in formerNepean Township. Constructed at some point between 1840 and 1850 as a farmhouse forWilliam Scott, who emigrated from Ireland to Upper Canada in 1819 as part of a wave ofIrish Protestants who settled in Nepean Township in the 19th century, Kilmorie serves as a reminderof the area’s agricultural history. Kilmorie is also associated with William Wilfred Campbell, one ofthe Confederation Poets, a group of poets born in the 1860s who became popular in Canada at theend of the 19th century. Campbell purchased Kilmorie in 1914 and lived there until his death in 1918.

Kilmorie has design value as an example of the vernacular stone buildings constructed in theclassical tradition in the Ottawa area in the early-to-mid 19th century. Exemplifying its type,Kilmorie is constructed of limestone, has a gable roof with returned eaves and symmetrical facades.The front facade is highlighted by a tripartite window with decorative fanlight in the central gable.

OBJECTIONS

Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for thevobjection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of theCity of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publicationof this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa willrefer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Cyrville cyclists to get more room to roamMichelle [email protected]

An important link for Gloucester cyclists is about to get a makeover this spring.

As part of the Orléans Bikeway, the cycling route linking Innes to Ogilvie roads along Cyrville Road will be getting an overhaul beginning in June, with a combination of multi-use pathways, buffered lanes on both sides of Cyrville, side-walks for areas currently missing a concrete sidewalk and updates to OC Transpo stops. The overhaul begins at Meadowbrook Road and runs along to Ogilvie.

According to the city planned improvements in-clude:

• New multi-use pathways on both sides of Cyrville Road from Meadowbrook Road to Labrie Avenue.

• One-way for cyclists, two-way for pedestrians.

• New concrete sidewalk for missing sections and buffered bike lanes on both sides of Cyrville Road from Labrie Avenue to Ogilvie Road, with the exception of a paved shared use shoulder with ripple strip on the east side of Cyrville Road from Cummings Avenue to Beau-parc Private.

• Proposed new passenger pick-up and drop-off areas at Beauparc Private and at Cyrville Transit Station.

• Concrete pads at all transit stops for future po-tential shelters.

• Connections between Cyrville Road facilities and the Cyrville Transit Station.

• Bicycle boxes, green pavement markings and cross-rides at intersections where appropriate.

• Narrowing and pave-

ment markings at entrances with new multi-use pathway.

Road resurfacing from 270 metres north of Mead-owbrook Road to Ogilvie Road.

• Widening of Cyrville Road to the west at Ogilvie Road to accommodate a

buffered bike lane and new side-walk to the east.

• Upgrades to traffic signal controls.

According to Andy Smith, manager of design and construc-tion municipal east, the improve-ments will be completed by this fall.

Portions along Cyrville will be widened within the road’s right-of-way, making room to accom-modate both pedestrians and cyclists.

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney has said this route is an important link for east-end cyclists, adding that he would also like to see work completed on the cycling rout on Ogilvie north of Blair Road to Montreal Road. The route has been iden-tified for funding for a multi-use pathway on the south side of Ogilvie Road, within the 2015-2019 term of council, but Smith could not give a timeline for when that work would begin.

Lisa Quesnel, a single mother of three, said she sometimes has to miss work because she can’t afford to buy a bus pass until her next paycheque.

She said that when her kids were younger, she’d sometimes walk 35 min-utes to pick them up to save money on bus fare. Quesnel added that it can be a self-perpetuating cycle, because she would miss work be-cause she couldn’t afford a bus pass and then she’d have less money on her next cheque.

And there was nowhere to turn. Even though she was receiving top-up from Ontario Works, as long as she was working it was her responsibility to get a bus pass, she said.

Quesnel’s story isn’t unique. A city staff report on a low-income bus pass suggests there are about 8,800 transit users who

don’t qualify for the dis-counted community pass or seniors pass.

A full price adult bus pass is $103.75 per month; a lot of money if you make minimum wage and only get 25 to 30 hours of work per week, like Quesnel.

The city’s transit com-mission will vote on two options on May 9, one that would offer a low-income bus pass at the same rate

as that of a student. It’s roughly a 24 per cent price break on an adult pass and would cost the city $1.4 million, according to the

report.The other option would

be to be to offer a 62 per cent price break. That would bring the price down to $58. It would cost $3.3 million, according to the report.

More than 40 social ser-vice agencies, including the Healthy Transporta-tion Coalition and Mak-ing Voices Count, have expressed support for the

Coalition asks transit commission for low-income bus pass

“It’s a step in the right direction.”TREVOR HACHÉ THE HEALTHY TRANSPORTATION COALITION

initiative.“It’s a step in the right

direction,” said Trevor Ha-ché, who is a member of the Healthy Transportation Coalition.

Haché said if the city wants to encourage the public to use transit – as it suggests in the 2013 trans-portation master plan – they have to work on mak-ing access equitable.

While there’s still a lot of work to be done – namely eliminating the top-up for users who have a commu-nity pass and ride Para Transpo, Haché said it’s a good start.

PRIORITY

Commission chair Coun. Stephen Blais said during the commission’s budget

meeting that eliminating the top-up is a priority.

Haché said the coalition has put together a petition, which had 2,200 signatures in the week before commis-sion’s meeting.

Those interested in sign-ing the petition can access it at http://healthytransporta-tioncoalition.nationbuild-er.com/transit_pass_peti-tion.

Police have identi�ed Lonnie Lea�oor, 56, as the victim in the Lepage Avenue homicide, after his body was found in an apart-ment on May 2.

The major crime unit is con-tinuing to investigate the case as a homicide, following the au-topsy. The autopsy con�rmed Lea�oor was stabbed.

There is no suspect in custo-dy, and the incident is not “be-lieved to be random.”

“I’m going to be calling this

a targeted attack and say that there’s no risk to the public right now,” Staff Sgt. Bruce Pirt said in an interview.

Police continued to be on site May 3 as they complete a forensic examination of the apartment, which may last an-other couple of days. Police are still working on a timeline and would not comment on when Lea�oor was killed or if a weapon was found.

Police are following up on “investigative leads,” Pirt said, adding they are still looking for information from the public.

Police responded to a call in the 1400 block of Lepage Avenue on May 2 at 3:40 p.m. where they found Lea�oor dead of a stab wound.

Lea�oor was known to po-lice, Pirt said, adding the homi-cide is not gang related.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Ottawa po-lice’s major crime unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493. Anony-mous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS) or by downloading the Ottawa Police app.

Exciting Changes Coming toByWard Market

On Wednesday May 3rd, the city’s Financeand Economic Development Committeevoted unanimously in favour of a revi-talization plan for the ByWard and Park-dale markets. This comes after a glowingendorsement from Janette Sadik-Khan,the former transportation commissioner ofNew York City.

Following council approval, this revitaliza-tion plan will include giving the ByWardand Parkdale markets new leadershipin the form of a not-for-profit municipalservices corporation. This will give standowners and the ByWard Building business-es more freedom to do what is best fortheir businesses. Our collective goal is tohave an area that is unique, animated andentrepreneurial.

As a first phase, the revitalization planincludes a public plaza on the north side ofGeorge Street (between William Street andByWard Market Square). We want to re-design this area and make it a gateway tothe ByWard Market, which people will seeupon exiting the future LRT Rideau Station(at William Street).

We are happy to report that the infor-mation session on the renewal of theGeorge Street Plaza was well-attended andbrought some tweaks that will make theplaza an even more desirable public space.Construction on the plaza is set to beginin September and should be completed bymid-2017.

We have a longer term plan to invest inbeautifying and modernizing the ByWardMarket. This will include a unified style ofbenches and lamp posts, as well as theelimination of some curbs to create a moreflexible public space. This would includestreet closures for events and animation.

I am confident that these changes willbring innovation to the Market and I lookforward to being able to gather with evenmore people in the heart of our City.

Province pumps $2.2M into Ottawa events and festivalsMelissa [email protected]

SENIORS Connected to your community

Bologna was a special treat whenever we visited Briscoe’s General StoreBriscoe’s General

Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all

of Renfrew County.If Father had to go to buy

some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store.

Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept.

And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds.

It was a big fat roll of bo-logna ... of course, we simply

called it balony back then. I would rather have a slice of

balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of but-terscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.

Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought

what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony, too.”

He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefi t of

even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it right on the spot.

And then one day, after Mother had fi nished her list, she again said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise.

Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favou-rite treat in the world.

Mr. Briscoe had what Moth-

MARY COOK

Mary Cook’s Memories

er called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion. They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages. No, I had no use for hum-bugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home ... without Mother seeing of course.

Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that demanded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue

once and for all.“Mr. Briscoe,” I said

in my best Sunday school voice. “Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?” He dropped the candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me.

Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine. Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm.

A team of Ottawa re-searchers has made a break-through that may one day extend the lives of patients suffering from an incurable form of brain cancer that can lead to death less than a year-and-a-half after di-agnosis.

Seven years of pains-taking research, most of it done right here in Ot-tawa, have revealed that by blocking the highly ac-tive expression of a pro-tein found in brain tumour stem cells, this can actually prevent glioblastoma, or GBM, tumours from form-ing.

Since this protein, called oncostatin M receptor or OSMR, functions as a tu-mour power source, inhib-iting it can, in fact, also shrink cancer cells.

“I was so happy and then I thought I must have made a mistake. It was too good to be true,” Arezu Jahani-Asl said of her discovery that the OSMR receptor could be blocked.

Her research, the results of which were published on April 25 in the Nature Neuroscience journal, was largely conducted in Ottawa when she was working as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Michael Rudnicki, director of the Ottawa Hospital's regenera-tive medicine program, and Azad Bonni, with the Har-vard Medical School and Washington University's School of Medicine.

“This is an important study because we have iden-tifi ed a novel Achilles heel of

the tumour,” said Rudnicki, senior co-corresponding au-thor of the study.

The discovery of a pro-tein active in the brains of GBM patients means doc-tors could one day extend the lives of those who have an average of just 16 months left to live after diagnosis.

GBM accounts for 23 per cent of all primary tumours, which translates to two to three people per 100,000 in-dividuals, said Jahani-Asl.

“The rates are lower than breast cancer and other solid tumours, but the high mor-tality rate puts them among the leading cause of death. It's like a death sentence,”

she said.Pouring over 339 tumour

samples taken from GBM patients led to the discovery that the more OSMR pro-tein expressed, the quicker the patient had died.

The fi ndings change ev-erything since efforts for the most part were focused on a growth receptor, called EGFRvIII, that is known to drive the formation of glioblastoma tumours. This mutated receptor is present in 30 to 40 per cent of GBM patients, said Jahani-Asl.

However, every therapy that's been tried on this re-ceptor failed.

Jahani-Asl then decided

to look farther downstream, and that's when she zeroed in on OSMR.

She poured over patient samples and clinical data and found that OSMR was highly active in GBM cells.

“I thought if this is the case, then we erase it (and) then we shouldn't get the tumours, and that is what we saw,” Jahani-Asl said of the results of studies on mice. “We showed that when OSMR is gone, there is no tumour.”

“This an extremely excit-ing discovery,” said Rud-nicki.

It's hoped this ground-breaking discovery will one

day lead to new therapies for patients diagnosed with GBM, which is resistant to radiation and chemotherapy. The tumours, which grow in the shape of fi nger-like ten-tacles into the brain, rather than solid masses, are diffi -cult to surgically remove.

Even just one cancer stem cell left behind after surgery means the tumour will re-turn.

Their research also re-vealed that EGFRvIII and OSMR must work together before the EGFR can send out tumour-forming signals, a discovery that could mean good news for patients with other cancer types where

EGFR is found in large quantities, such as in breast, lung and cervical cancers.

Now that the results have been published, Jahani-Asl is working at the molecular level to fi nd ways to knock down OSMR.

Last July, Jahani-Asl relo-cated to Quebec, where she has set up her own gliobasto-ma lab at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal. She is also an assistant professor within McGill University's oncology department.

“In my lab we're making antibodies and we're trying to make small molecules that inhibit this (protein),” she said.

She is also looking into whether there may already be compounds that exist, which could be used for po-tential treatments.

“We're thinking that drugs or antibodies would be the way to go,” Rudnicki said.

It's possible that one day people could be tested for OSMR before cancer strikes.

People who don't have GBM, don't have this pro-tein in their brains. Jahani-Asl said it fi rst appears in the brain during embryonic development as nerves form. As embryos grow, the pro-tein expression decreases in normal brains.

“We could use this as a marker,” she said, adding that with adequate funding, “that screen can (one day) easily be done.”

Her research was funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the Mathers Foun-dation and the Ottawa Hos-pital Foundation.

Ali Khaled and Suhaib Mekieh are no strangers to pressure.

As Grade 8 students at Roberta Bondar Public School in the Greenboro community, they regularly face tests, make presenta-tions to their peers and complete challenging assign-ments.

But nothing tops the pres-sure that comes with being quizzed in a �nal round of questioning by the host of the top quiz show on televi-sion.

“It felt unreal,” said Ali, 14, who was part of a team of Grade 8 students that faced off in a championship round of questioning by Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek on May 3.

The trio won major brag-ging rights by being the team to come closest to guess-ing the length of Canada’s coastline (The answer is 243,700 kilometres).

“I know that’s the closest I came to winning a Jeopardy! game,” Ali said with a laugh.

One of his competitors, Suhaib Mekieh, 13, who is also in Grade 8, relished the experience of making it to the �nal round despite not being victorious in the end.

“It’s pretty intense,” he said of the experience of answering Trebek’s questions in front of a gymnasium full of his peers. “The way he speaks (slow and deliberately), there’s so much pressure.”

The enthusiasm shown by more than a dozen student contestants as they walked across a giant �oor map of Canada to point out their answers to geographic skill-testing questions was an encouraging ad-vancement.

The president of the Royal Cana-dian Geographical Society said there has been “an erosion” in the geog-raphy curriculum at many schools across Canada over the years.

“It’s a challenge for us,” Geiger said following the morning game show, which the society organized at the school in honour of naming Trebek as the organization’s honou-

rary president for his track record as a champion of geography edu-cation.

HONOUR

The Greenboro-based school was chosen for the special event because the school’s namesake, Ca-nadian astronaut Roberta Bondar, was the recipient of the society’s gold medal, its highest honour.

Trebek received that same award in 2010.

“It’s got to be a key point,” Geiger said of the need to foster a greater understanding and ap-

preciation for our country and the world among young people.

Trebek, a University of Ottawa graduate, has a long-standing con-nection with the society, and it’s hoped his new ambassadorial role will put geography back on the map for kids and teens.

“What a great way to get young people excited about geography,” Geiger said of the trivia competi-tion which tested the school’s old-er students with questions about Canada’s driest place, the polar bear capital city, and the provinces that have the most covered bridges and the highest concentration of

snakes.Trebek was also on the receiving

end of questions asked by students, ranging from his strangest experi-ence while hosting his long-run-ning TV show to whether he has travelled the world.

When asked whether he still loves going to work, Trebek said he enjoys spending time on stage every day “with real people, bright people.”

“I hate spending time with stu-pid people,” he said, drawing sur-prised laughter from his audience. “Quite often (they’re) prejudiced people. They don’t know enough

to make sound decisions regard-ing life or how to treat their fellow men.”

Trebek was also in Ottawa to re-ceive the Key to the City of Ottawa in recognition of his philanthropy and activism during a May 5 cer-emony at city hall.

He also made a $5 million dona-tion to his alma mater, the Univer-sity of Ottawa, to create a Forum for Dialogue.

Last May, the Sudbury native was honoured by the university when of�cials unveiled the Alex Trebek Alumni Hall at the school’s campus.
