THIS WEEK11th Year No. 44 Oct. 29, 2009

No more walk-insJennifer McIntoshjennifer.mcintosh@

nepeanthisweek.com

Due to a loophole in the Ministry of Health’s funding for-mula, the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s laboratory will no longer be accepting walk-in referrals from local physicians. As of Nov. 2 the community will have to use the services of several area private labs for their blood work.

“Because the Ministry had no mechanism for us to recover the costs from administering those types of tests, we had to look at whether continuing to pro-vide the service was consistent with our needs and our man-date,” Michael Cohen, vice-president of clinical support and information management with the hospital, said. “The funding was coming from other areas of the hospital’s budget and we felt that patients would still have access to those services in the community. We felt it was the right way to go.”

The service has been provided since the hospital was founded in 1976 and was funded by the province until the 1990s.

“It was fairly commonplace when the hospital opened,” Patty Boyd, director of lab services for the hospital and manager of the valley lab program, said.

The lab takes about 270 patients on a walk-in basis per month and about 3,000 in any given year.

“We do quite a lot but a big part of that was staff who just found it easier to have their test done here,” Boyd said. “We have done the same thing in Arnprior and Kemptville and found that it worked quite well.”

The lab out of the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital will continue to offer services for walk-in referrals because there isn’t a private lab close enough for those patients.

“We don’t want to penalize people, just reduce a duplica-tion of services,” Boyd said. “So in that case it was important to keep that service available or people would have had to go to Kemptville or Arnprior.”

Because the private labs are able to bill OHIP directly for a lot of the tests performed, hos-pitals are finding it unnecessary to provide the service and take funding away from other areas, Cohen said.

“Really, in this case, it’s about returning to our mandate of pri-mary, acute care,” he said.

Some tests associated with the hospital’s maternity ward will still be provided in keeping with the continuity of care.

The hospital is doing its best to inform patients about the change and will be offering parking vouchers for those who come looking for blood tests in the first few days of November.

“We certainly don’t want peo-ple to have to pay for parking if they come for a service we no longer offer,” Cohen said.

Senior’s death deemed a homicideJennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@nepeanthisweek.com

Ottawa Police have ruled the Oct. 21 death of Peter D. Clark resident Frank Moir a homicide.

The 88-year-old resident of the municipally-owned long-term care facility in Nepean was found in his room at the Willow House in Peter D. Clark. Willow House is a secure unit on the ground floor of the facility that houses people with advanced dementia.

The death was deemed suspicious by police after responding to the call on the morning of Oct. 21.

“Something the officers saw on the scene lead them

to believe there needed to be more investigation into the cause of death,” Const. J.P Vincelette with the police’s communications unit, said. “The autopsy will tell us more.”

The autopsy was performed on Oct. 23 and the results, released the same day, showed that the octogenarian had been the victim of Ottawa’s fifth homicide this year.

Moir, who recovered from pneumonia this past sum-mer, lost his wife Betty on Sept. 18. The couple were both residing at Peter D. Clark.

The 211-bed facility has different housing complexes that provide a home-like, supportive environment for res-idents with Alzheimer disease and the frail and elderly.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper held a roundtable with students at St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven on Oct. 26 to talk about their efforts to reduce smoking among young people. Harper highlighted the Cracking Down on Tobacco Marketing Aimed at Youth Act that was passed in May. The act prohibits selling tobacco products in small quantity “kiddy-packs” or adding flavouring to give them more of a candy taste. Harper is shown with Heather Bourquez, CEO of the Canadian Lung Association (centre).

Plasco Energy Group Inc.’s CEO Rod Bryden has turned heat into liquid gold thanks to a stamp of approval from Sustainable Development Technology Canada

(SDTC).The government agency —

which is designed to pair funding with emerging technologies to help them enter the commercial market-place — has given $9.5 million to Plasco since early 2006.

“Their funding was a catalyst for the investments we received

in the first two rounds of equity,” Bryden said, adding that he credits the nearly $120 million of capital to the confidence SDTC showed in Plasco’s process of using heat to turn waste into energy.

The Ottawa-based company has spent four years testing their plasma gasification technology

that sees chambers with varying degrees of heat separate waste into valuable fuel, electricity and construction aggregate. The tem-peratures can get as high as 1,600 Celsius to separate the gases such as carbon, hydrogen and chlorine — which can be later cooled to be used as fuel.

SDTC announced on Oct. 22 that the technology had been tested enough to enter the commercial marketplace, leading the way for other markets to take advantage of the system.

Plasco currently operates a plant on Trail Road that is capable of handling 100 tonnes of waste in a 24-hour period. The plant went from operating 16 hours three days per week to 24 hours in the last few weeks.

The City has signed a partner-ship with Plasco for processing of the City’s waste at approximately $40 per tonne, the same cost as burying the waste at the Trail Road landfill.

The City has been a partner for the Trail Road test facility since 2005 and could potentially pay Plasco $8 million per year to have waste processed at the new Moodie Drive facility.

The new 100-acre facility planned for Moodie Drive could be up and running as soon as mid-2011 according to Bryden.

“Now with council’s approval we could see the facility opened in two years with a capacity of pro-cessing 400 tonnes of waste per day,” he said.

Ammo stolenAn unknown number of suspects

broke into the Greenbank Road Canadian Tire in Barrhaven on Oct. 18 and stole seven replica semi-automatic style pellet guns and var-ious types of ammunition, consist-ing of numerous boxes of pellets, 12-gauge shotgun shells and .22 calibre ammunition.

The investigation is ongoing.Anyone with information is

asked to contact Det. Kusiewicz of the Ottawa Police west division break and enter section at 613-236-1222, ext. 2239, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

A drop in callsOttawa Police Service’s west

division reported a 16 per cent decline in calls for services at area parks and facilities for the same period a year before.

The findings were released fol-lowing the close of its Youth Engagement Strategy initiative from May 15 to Sept. 15.

Over that period of time, west division officers conducted more than 350 pro-active patrols through various parks and facilities and issued approximately 20 provin-cial offence notices under such acts as the Liquor License Act, bylaw and the Trespass to Property Act. Officers also conducted 14 investi-gations into criminal activities relat-ing to breach of conditions and drug offences.

Chapman Mills residents who have been waiting more than two years for a neigh-bourhood park will have to wait until next summer for a place to play.

“The community has valid reasons to be frustrated,” says Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches. “This is a rapidly growing part of the city with a lot of fami-lies. This park has been much anticipated.”

But the City plans on installing swing sets as an interim measure, which Desroches says is unusual for the City before the entire park is ready to go.

The park, to be located south of Chapman Mills Drive between St. Emily Catholic Elementary School and Clearbrook Drive, was delayed when City council cancelled the north-south light rail project.

Originally the City had planned a large community centre including a library in the park, but without the light rail line nearby, it made more sense to move that centre to the Town Centre development to the west.

That meant the Chapman Mills Main Street Park had to be redesigned. A draft proposal for that redesign was presented to the public on Oct. 20.

The design includes a full-size unlit soc-cer field, ice rink in the winter, playground, splash pad and a garden area with low-main-tenance ornamental grasses and benches.

“We’re trying to accommodate a variety of users,” says parks project manager Louise Cerveny.

The City eventually plans to build a $1-million, 2,500-square-metre fieldhouse and

a 10-space parking lot on the site, but those items are budgeted by a different City depart-ment and will take a little longer to build.

The design also includes a significant amount of trees planted along the southern edge of the park where houses back onto the soccer field.

Residents at the open house disagreed on the benefits of using sand or woodchips for the playground, but Cerveny pointed out that sand is about three times less expensive.

“I’m optimistic we can build most of this,” Cerveny told the residents at the open house. “The water spray feature is the thing in ques-tion.”

She explains that the money for the park was collected in 2007 so it’s not a guarantee that it will cover all the expenses in 2010. The splash pad is the most extravagant fea-ture in the park at approximately $125,000. By contrast the removable rink boards will cost between $25,000 and $30,000.

The community can get involved and fundraise for the park and the City will match up to $7,500.

Cerveny says she expects the park to be designated as a “no dog” park because of the soccer field and playground.

Desroches says the one positive to the delay is that the community has had a chance to influence the design of the park.

The project will go out to tender this win-ter and construction should start in the spring depending on the weather. Once started, it will take about a month and a half to build, although the soccer field will take about two years to establish the grass.

Comments on the park design can be sent to Cerveny at louise.cerveny@ottawa.ca.

The City of Ottawa is offering fixed H1N1 vac-cination sites at the Walter Baker Sports Centre and the former Nepean city hall.

As the initial supply from the province will be limited, Ottawa Public Health will focus on pro-viding vaccines to people six months to 65 years old with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, healthy children between six months and five years old, healthcare workers and caregivers for children from six months to five years.

Sites include the Walter Baker Monday to Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and 100 Constellation Dr. Monday to Friday from 5 to 9 p.m.

The City of Ottawa recognized 81 drivers at this year’s OC Transpo Safe Driving Awards ceremony on Oct. 18.

“Practising good defensive driving skills and maintaining a calm, relaxed disposition keeps me positive and confident in facing the challenges of driving a bus every day,” Fernand Leroux, one of the drivers recognized, said.

To qualify for the Safe Driving Award, employ-ees must spend at least 1,000 accident-free hours on the road every year in all types of weather and traffic conditions.

École Secondaire Publique Deslauriers student Melissa Hanson has managed to raise more than $700 for the chronic pain clinic at CHEO.

The Grade 10 student held a fundraiser for the clinic at her school on Oct. 17. Hanson has suf-fered with chronic abdominal pain for three years. To donate to the clinic, visit www.cheofounda-tion.com and click donate. Enter “pain clinic” or “Melissa” to ensure the funds are directed to the pain clinic.

Former Nortel employees have three of four federal parties on their side. And the Conservatives may be ready to listen too.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor said last Friday that “nothing is off the table” when it comes to changing the laws that affect pensions.

More than 1,000 former Nortel employees protested in front of the Peace Tower on Oct. 21. Most face greatly reduced pensions as a bankrupt Nortel sells assets and hands the money to creditors before funding its pen-sion commitments.

A smaller group of roughly 400 people on long-term disability could end up with nothing from the company and receive 15 cents on the dollar in the form of disability cheques from the government.

Those protesters may be heartened by O’Connor’s words, which signify a shift in the government’s position.

On Oct. 23, O’Connor told Ottawa Region Media Group that a study of pensions is underway and the conclusions are expected soon.

“(The study) is not in any way limited,” O’Connor said. “If it recommends adjust-ments to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act are needed, we will do that.”

On Oct. 22, NDP leader Jack Layton announced a new party policy, calling the number of seniors living in poverty “nothing short of a national crisis.”

The proposal calls for a national system of workplace pension insurance.

“We propose a self-financing, manda-tory insurance system funded by the plan

sponsors,” Layton said in a speech. “This is standard in the United States. In Canada, only Ontario has an insurance plan. We are proposing a national plan ensuring pension payouts up to $2,500 per month.”

Layton also used the speech to call for more co-operation between the federal and provincial governments.

RALLY ON HILLLiberal leader Michael Ignatieff, the Bloc

Quebecois’ Gilles Duceppe and Layton spoke to the Nortel employees and former employees on Oct. 21 on Parliament Hill, promising to push the Conservative govern-ment to change bankruptcy laws. Current legislation in Canada gives investors the majority of a firm’s value when a company goes broke, while employees are sent to the back of the financial queue.

Speaking to the crowd, Layton offered a warning for other working Canadians: “If Mr. Harper can get away with letting this case slide,” Layton said, “then no Canadian pension is safe.”

C o m m u n i c a t i o n s , E n e r g y a n d Paperworkers Union president Dave Coles said “thousands of Canadians with private pension plans … are facing immediate disas-ter,” adding that the loss of income for these people would “leave many of them eating dog food.”

Financial analyst Dianne Urquhart called current legislation that deals with bankruptcy “archaic” for favouring investors over pen-sioners.

“No one is asking the government for a bailout of people who will receive pensions, we’re asking that (bankrupt) companies pay pensioners first,” Urquhart said.

Commemorative Naming Proposal “Elizabeth Gravelle”

Ottawa’s quality of life is enhanced by the excellence, courage and excep-tional service provided by some of its citizens. It is also a City rich in history and its many citizens who hold historical signifi cance to their local communi-ties, the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario or Canada. The City of Ottawa’s Commemorative Naming Policy honours these individuals through the nam-ing of municipal streets, parks and facilities.Further to an application received under the Commemorative Naming Pro-gram, the City is proposing the commemorative naming of the small room in the Maki House located at 19 Leeming Drive, Nepean, to Elizabeth Gravelle (Ward 7, Bay).Elizabeth Gravelle, a long time resident of Crystal Beach-Lakeview, has vol-untarily looked after the bookings for Maki House for 30 years.

‘Sticking with LRT’: Deputy city managerJennifer McIntoshjennifer.mcintosh@

nepeanthisweek.com

City staff recom-mended the use of electric light rail as the

technology choice for Ottawa’s rapid transit plan in a report tabled

at a transit commit-tee meeting on Oct. 21.

“It was quite a deba te be tween staff between light metro or light rail and we really put our recommenda-tions to the test,” deputy city manag-er Nancy Schepers said.

In a study done by Delcan Corp. comparing l ight rail and light metro — or heavy rail —light rail came out on top because of the technology’s ability to blend with the existing urban fabric.

“One of my take aways from the technology forum

we had in June was the enviable position Ottawa was in because of our existing network of corridors and our dedicated ridership,” Schepers said. “So we had to look for the tech-nology that fits best with that framework.”

The study showed that while light metro could handle a higher capacity of passen-gers, the system would require dedicated cor-ridors and a segregation of the western leg of the system. It could also represent higher opera-tional costs.

On Oct. 23 Schepers released the refined cost estimate for run-ning LRT between Blair Road and Tunney’s Pasture, including the construction of the tun-nel. The price tag was projected at $2.1 bil-

lion.Schepers said staff

wanted to make a deci-sion on the technology after the rejection of the original north-south rail line plan by council.

Transit committee chair Alex Cullen said the technology choice is just one step closer to the realization of a finalized transit plan for the City of Ottawa.

“It’s not just about heavy rail or l ight rail,” he said. “We are faced with a number of options that will have a significant impact on the system. It will also affect the environmental assessments and design plans as we move for-ward.”

The committee is set to debate the contents of the report on Nov. 18 and council will debate the choice on Nov. 25.

It’s time to dress up like you’re going to the Grammy Awards. It’s the second annual Sizzle with Style event coming Nov. 7.

This event is described as a fashion fundraiser to raise proceeds for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

“Sizzling with style fashion gala is bring-ing the ‘fun’ to fundraiser,” says Estrelita Aboukassam, one of the event organizers.

Aboukassam began the event last year in dedication of her brother-in-law who passed away from cancer. Aboukassam’s way of giving back was through fashion.

“My brother-in-law passed away with can-cer three years ago. That’s why we dedicate

and volunteer our time wholeheartedly for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. I have never heard of any family that has not been struck with this horrible disease. We have to help them,” said Aboukassam “It is going to be a night to remember.”

The gala will begin with complimentary beverages, dinner, a sizzling fashion show, silent auction, raffle, dancing with a live band and a DJ. The event will be from 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7. Ticket pric-es are $110. Each penny raised is donated to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

The event is being held at the Marriot Hotel at 100 Kent St. Tickets are available through event organizers Estrelita and Alias Aboukassam at 613-882-8016, beaumonde@rogers.com or www.sizzlewithstyle.com.

9EditorialWe may be irritating, but that’s democracyAt last week’s transit committee meet-

ing the City unveiled its technology choice for its rapid transit plan: light

rail. The choice had been leaked to the media

the day before engendering some debate at the committee table.

Transit committee chair and Bay Coun. Alex Cullen responded with a gem of a com-ment, “The media is often an irritant to the political process.”

While we admit that stories are occasion-

ally blown out of proportion, we would also defend the media’s role as essential to the political process.

One of the key components of democracy is a free press.

Our role in keeping politicians and bureaucrats accountable for their actions is crucial to ensuring taxpayers’ dollars are well spent.

The rapid transit plan doesn’t belong to the City. It belongs to the citizens who will use the eventual system and pay for it

through their taxes. Those citizens have a right to know how

the City is progressing toward implementing the plan and how decisions are being made on critical issues such as the technology choice.

As media we can not accept a “trust us, we’re experts” attitude from councillors or City staff.

There has been no shortage of examples where media asking hard questions has informed the public about misuse or ineffi-

cient use of taxpayers’ dollars. At the provincial level, the recent e-Health

scandal comes to mind, not to mention the federal Shawinigate and sponsorship scan-dals.

At the municipal level, lax financial con-trols, poor work ethic and lack of concern for City assets were just some of the findings in the auditor general’s report in 2007.

We may be irritating, but we’d hate to live in a society that didn’t allow us to do our jobs.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, members of the Barrhaven Legion and some family mem-bers participated in the “Fall Cleaning the Capital” project. The teams focused on cleaning the south side of Fallowfield Road, between Greenbank Road and Woodroffe Avenue. The Barrhaven Legion is thinking of making this a semi-annu-al event, and hope to adopt this section of Fallowfield for future clean-up projects.

Master Warrant Officer Don Cansfield pins a poppy on Sgt. at Arms Ray Trudel during a ceremony on Oct. 24 at the Barrhaven L e g i o n . C a n s f i e l d i s bringing poppies to the Canadians working on the air forces’ new aircraft acquisitions in America. The Barrhaven Legion will be distributing poppies starting Oct. 30 at Ross’ Your Independent Grocer, Sobey’s, Loblaws and Wal-Mart. Donations to the campaign support veterans and their dependents.

As of this week, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has begun providing free H1N1 flu vaccinations to Ot tawa res iden t s who need it most at its city-wide clinics. As the initial supply from the province will be limited, OPH will focus on provid-ing the vaccine to the following groups of

residents in the first seven to 14 days of operation:

• People six months old to 65-years-old with chronic medical conditions

• Pregnant women • Healthy children between six months

and five years of age • Health care workers • Household contacts and care provid-

ers of infants younger than six months and people with compromised immune systems

Pregnant women will also have the option to receive the non-adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine, which is expected in mid-November.

Locations:• City of Ottawa administrative building,

100 Constellation Dr., Nepean. Monday to Friday: 5 to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• Walter Baker Sport Centre, 100 Malvern Dr., Barrhaven. Nov. 23, 24, 2:30 to 8:30 p.m. For more information, visit the Ottawa Public Health website at www.ottawa.ca/health or call 613-580-6744.

I have received a number of com-plaints about the lack of parking avail-able at the park and ride at Fallowfield station. I have writ-ten about it before and I have spoken with our director of OC Transpo and it would seem all to no avail. One new thing

to mention is I have a commitment from Alain Mercier to find out why or what is stopping us from expanding further on the Fallowfield site. After all it isn’t that there isn’t more field to gravel! And because of costs I am perfectly satisfied with gravel due to budget if that is the best I can get.

I am told that one solution may be to add more “gold” reserved spots. I don’t see how that helps the faithful out in any way; it grabs a chunk of change from riders for OC Transpo but really how does that help in any way our crowded park and ride? I would rather have a dedicated parking person help-ing park your vehicles along the perimeter than a security person writing you a ticket!

Another idea OC has is that people should park at the currently underused Strandherd Park and ride. I don’t think so!

After you drop off the kiddies, etc. the last thing you need is to head south to a park and ride which is several 95s shorter than those going to Fallowfield. Maybe when all 95 buses go the distance to Strandherd we can talk, but not now.

POPPY KICK-OFFIt was my pleasure to be present at the

kick-off for the 2009 poppy campaign at the Barrhaven Legion this past week. Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and I are working with staff regarding the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy, which will be celebrated in 2010. The City of Ottawa will be a full par-ticipant in the celebrations. As we approach Remembrance Day, I ask that we all take a moment to reflect on what Canadian sol-diers have sacrificed for us in the past and as they continue to serve our country today. The Poppy Trust Fund provides financial assistance to ex-servicemen and women in need, and to their dependants. Please remember to thank a veteran as you receive your poppy this Remembrance Day.

SAFETY TIPS As our children participate in the tra-

ditional Halloween trick or treat, I would like to remind everyone to watch out for

the children out on the street this Saturday night. Here are some safety tips from the Ottawa Police Service website:

• Bring a flashlight; • Wear light colours or reflector tapes to

make yourself visible to traffic;• Walk instead of running; • Stay on the sidewalks (if there is no

sidewalk, walk on the left-hand side of the street facing traffic);

• Avoid jaywalking; • Do not cut across lawns or take short-

cuts; • Take masks off when walking from one

house to the next; • Do not go inside houses and do not get

into vehicles; • Only visit houses that are lit; • Stay away from animals you are not

familiar with; and • Vandalism is not just a ‘trick’ - it is

against the law and has consequences. • Above all, have a safe and fun

Halloween!

TRANSITWAYI am pleased to advise that the tender

has been awarded for the trunk storm sewer work that is required as part of the Southwest Transitway Extension project through the Riocan Mall. The work has been given the green light to go ahead and is anticipated to be completed by the end of February 2010. This project is of great importance to the Barrhaven community and I will continue to keep you updated on its progress.

CAN I HELP?If I can be of assistance, please contact

my office at 613-580-2751 or by email at: Steve.Desroches@Ottawa.ca.

>>> Desroches, from page 8

Another thought I presented to deputy city manager Nancy Schepers was to use the Minto land at the southeast corner of Strandherd and Woodroffe. This property is packed down and would just need some gravel. I am told that there is no immediate solution that can be implemented

to resolve the issue. The numbers of peo-ple travelling from Strandherd are too low to cause OC Transpo to add more busses.

There are currently 1,025 spots at Fallowfield. A few years back staff redrew the lines, made them narrower, which made more parking spots. Another issue is that there is one traffic entrance into the park and ride. This causes quite a build up of traffic at peak travel times. It is already dif-ficult moving cars in and out. Putting more vehicles in the existing lot would only make the situation worse.

There have been a few incidents of parked cars being boxed in by other cars trying to fit into a small spot. Transit bylaw offi-cers are using ticketing as a deterrent. OC feels that the only way to make sure people respect the safety and parking lines of the lot is to ticket them. I caution you to park in the allocated area only and save yourself the

trouble of a ticket. People who have paid for a “gold” spot are getting frustrated because others are parking in their spots. I am told that unless you arrive by 7:45 a.m. your chance of parking is slim to nil! I realize that this is small potatoes for a very frustrat-ing problem but I wanted you all to know that we are working to try and find a solu-tion. Your calls are not going unnoticed.

Travelling to and from work in our grow-ing community has become noticeably tougher with heavier traffic but I have some pleasing news for those of you that live east of Leiken Drive. Likely you have noticed that the project to extend Longfields Drive has been on hold and the barriers are still up. This was because Hydro Ottawa and Bell were moving cables and poles at the Bill Leathem connection.

I have just been informed that they have finished their work and now the road con-tractor can start back up next week to com-plete the remaining work. As you know weather plays a factor in any construction. If the weather holds out the road contrac-tor estimates that there will only be about a months worth of work remaining. If all goes well the plan is to have the road open, paved and painted in November. Are you listening Mother Nature?

Disney WhirlPhotos and text by Nevil Hunt

Owning a car means you can wake up on a day off and head out on a Sunday drive. Motor off to a lake. Catch a movie. Maybe visit a museum.

Owning a Boeing 767 broadens your ho-rizons.

On Oct. 14, Air Canada employees and a number of corporate sponsors put a plane at the disposal of 120 kids between six and 11 years old, jetting the children and 70 volun-teers to Disney World in Florida for one very busy day.

Each child invited has a physical or men-tal handicap, or may not otherwise have a chance to visit the theme park.

For 14 years, Dreams Take Flight’s Ottawa chapter has been sending kids for an amaz-ing day at Disney.

‘Similar fl ights head out from seven other Canadian cities.

Last week’s trip started with an Ottawa de-parture before 6 a.m., 10 hours of fun at the Magic Kingdom and a return fl ight touching down in chilly Ottawa near midnight.

The fl ight crew donates their time. Volun-teers step up to chaperone the children. And a dream takes fl ight.

To help send a child to Disney next year, visit www.dreamstakefl ight.ca, or donate air miles by visiting www.airmiles.com and clicking the “Donate & Offset” link and then the Kids’ Horizons button.

Kids and volunteers in one of the day’s 22 groups let loose after the big, wet drop near the end of the Splash Mountain ride. Front row at right is Nepean’s Keyshawn Thin.

Jacob Brown of Nepean, centre, takes a breather with some of the new friends he made during his day at Disney World. Kids were split into groups of four to six and matched with adult volunteers for the day.

Kelso Matte sells ballons by the bunch on Main Street U.S.A. Each child on board Dreams Take Flight stopped in the shops.

George Belair of Bells Corners takes a break after a meal at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café by tuning into his favourite songs on his MP3 player. His chaperone for the day was his school nurse from Our Lady of Peace School.

Mary was quick to act when a home was listed that met all of our criteria. We were the fi rst ones in, and later that day the deal was done! What could have been a stress-fi lled situation was handled smoothly and professionally. Our current home was listed and sold in under a month, and throughout the process we always felt that matters were in the hands of capable experts.

Dreams can come true if you’re young at heart.

The saying proved to be true for four residents of Lynwood Park Lodge.

The octogenarians had l ife-long wishes grant-ed as part of the Living a Dream program run by the home’s parent company — Community Lifecare Inc.

Whether the dream was to ride a snowplow one last time or lead a cavalcade of motorcycles, Lynwood’s dedicated staff has done everything they can to make these dreams a reality.

The program, which was started by the company four years ago, aims to grant the wishes of three or four resi-dents each year. Head office gives staff a small stipend to pay some of the ancillary costs, but Lynwood has yet to dip into that fund.

“Each time, everything just came together,” Jennifer Hess, lifestyle co-ordinator for Lynwood, said.

For Robert Bertrand, whose dream of competing in a putting contest was real-ized with Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod’s fourth annual golf classic on June 25, it was one last shot at the green.

“What I wanted to do was put the ball between two tees and get it onto the green using just my putter,” he said.

The 82-year-old wanted to complete this feat on a Par 3, which has a fairway of 137 to 146 metres. Betrand has a handicap of four.

The political pull of those in attendance at the tourna-ment wouldn’t have thrown Bertrand, who worked as a confidential aid for prime ministers such as Pierre Trudeau, John Turner and Jean Chrétien.

Bertrand, always in the background of the lives of several political leaders, said he saved a young Catherine Clark from falling between from the fourth floor on Sussex Drive.

“I saw her about to fall and grabbed her by the back of the neck,” Bertrand said. “It was just luck.”

Aside from his political cachet, Bertrand spent a lot of time schmoozing with other notables through his expertise as a golfer.

“I played with people like Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong,” he said.

Great Nepean businesses honoured

The Businessman of the Year was presented by Lynn Johnson of TD Small Business Banking (left) and Chamber chair Mary Pitt (right) to Jeff Waito of Advantage Audio Visual Rentals (centre). Waito credits his staff with the success of his 15-year-old company, which rents audio and visual equipment for conferences and events. “My staff is an extension of my family,” Waito said. “I’m privileged to work with them everyday.”

The Chamber member of the Year was pre-sented by Mary Pitt and Gavin Leishman to Rod Vanier. This was only the second time this award had been presented and Vanier says he was caught completely by surprise. Vanier served on the Chamber’s board for 10 years. In his acceptance speech, Vanier talked about the duty of professionals to give back to the community they serve.

Though Bertrand didn’t manage to achieve his goal of getting the ball onto the green with his putter, he still

believes it is possible.

ALICENinety-four-year-old Alice

Albert is still over the moon that she was able to see old friends and celebrate the 85th anniversary of the St.

Lou i s Chap te r o f the Catholic Women’s League, during a three-day trip in early September.

Alice was never quite sure if she could actually make the trip, but she wanted to visit some friends from her old home at the Winston Park Lodge in Waterloo.

Originally from Iroquois Falls in northern Ontario, Alice didn’t marry until she was in her 50s.

She met her husband-to-be, Joe Albert on a two-week, cross-country trip to Victoria.

The pair decided they would move to Joe’s house in Waterloo.Just before they were set to get their mar-riage licence, the prospective groom had a heart attack and was bound to his hospital bed — leaving Alice to go to city hall herself and get the license.

Alice remembers the sce-nario with a smile and says her trip back to Waterloo was fraught with the same sort of complications.

The train from Ottawa to Waterloo got held up in Brockville, meaning that Alice had to catch a ride to the nursing home in a cab with activity director Katherine Finner.

“It was quite a trip,” she said. “I didn’t think I was

going to make it.”Once in Waterloo, Alice

was met by a whole room full of old friends.

The St. Louis CWL had held their 85th anniversary party in the spring, but when they heard about Alice’s wish they decided another party was in order to cele-brate those who had been in the league for more than 50 years.

ANGUSFor Angus Wylie, whose

dream of riding a brand new snowmobile came together on Jan. 6, it was one last chance to remember a two-decade career as a snowplow operator with the City of Ottawa.

“It was great,” he said. “It was really amazing to see how the machines had changed over the years.”

Wylie, who has been mar-ried to wife Jean since July 1944, worked for the City from 1950 to 1970 as a snowplow operator until he broke his arm and leg. Then he worked as a driver at city hall.

When Wylie’s New Year’s wish came true, the driver of the plow turned out to be someone who served as his wing man.

“You would be hard pressed to find someone

working for the city that I didn’t know at one time,” Wylie said.

Eighty-eight-year-old Wylie has been at Lynwood with Jean since 2004. He loves his life there.

GREETA For 88-year-old resi-

dent of Lynwood Greeta McCormick, who stands just shy of five feet, her dream was to ride a motorcycle.

Adamant that it had to be a big bike, not one of “those piddly, little things,” McCormick’s wish was granted on Sept. 14.

The former parliamentary secretary who worked on the campaign of Louis St. Laurent and then stayed on with Prime Minister John Diefenbaker developed a love of motorcycles on a trip to Loblaws after moving to Lynwood.

“We would go every week and I would see this big, beautiful machine,” she said. “I knew I wanted to ride one.”

McCormick rode to the Montgomery Legion branch on Kent Street at the head of a cavalcade of motorcycles lead by the Bikers Church of Canada.

She went to the branch to attend the Canada Council of the Blind’s annual meeting

and dinner.It took two people to lift

McCormick onto the motor-cycle, but that didn’t dimin-ish her day.

“If it wasn’t big I wasn’t going to get on it,” she said.

Something of a trailblazer, McCormick said her job on Parliament Hill was so secret at times that she didn’t know what she was doing.

“I can remember we had the top technology, the type-writers with a ball to follow the letters,” she said. “And the prime minister used to have a mechanical arm to help with all the documents he had to sign.’

McCormick laughs at talk of the computer age and remembers painstakingly making onion-skin copies.

“You had to hold it all up to the light and make sure there were no mistakes,” she said. “Now you just push a button.”

Like her contemporaries, she doesn’t miss the times gone by and looks forward to the future. If she can, McCormick will be saddling up on another motorcycle before her time comes.

The four whose wishes have already been granted are just the tip of the iceberg, as staff works to realize dreams ranging from archi-tectural digs to cruises.

Gamut on display at Foyer Gallery

Gerald S. Smith

Sixteen Foyer Gallery members are showing sam-ples of their art in a new exhibit entitled “Gamut.”

The display, ranging from abstract to landscapes andphotography, will continue until Nov. 8.

My eye was immediately taken by a small, unas-suming oil painting by Ahmad Humayun called “Inthe Wilderness.” The composition, both in pattern andcolour, is impeccable.

Ray Piesina is showing an abstract in acrylics called“Glacial Encounter.” This painting is wonderfully co-ordinated in that every element in the design contrib-utes equally to a successful whole.

Two paintings hanging side by side, one by TerryCowan and the other by Gerald Smith are mutuallysupportive in that they both deal with absolutes. TerryCowan’s is called “Where the Sky Ends” and it pres-ents a lonely road leading to a remote lighthouse witha darkening sky beyond it. There is an older model carpointing to it and the licence plate surely bears somepersonal reference because it reads MISQ56.

The work by Gerald Smith is named “Percé Rock.”The famous rock formation jutting out into the sea atthe end of Gaspé Peninsula is a remote landmark too,and it – like the ubiquitous lighthouse – has become anicon in the minds of most people.

Patricia Kirby is showing three paintings, two arecollages and one is an oil on canvas called “Homageto Gordon Harrison.” This painting exudes confidenceand is rendered in thick applications of pure, essen-tially unmixed fall colours such as reds, oranges andgreens.

Peter Juranka has four photographs in the show,three in the gallery itself, and one on the back of apanel facing the public. Of the ones in the gallery, Imuch prefer the photograph called “Kandensky No.2.” It is a view, looking skyward, of a colourful treewith a pine tree impinging on its space.

Dhanashri Athavale has three watercolours up, all ofwhich I like. One in particular, called “Fall Rhapsody,”deserves mention. It shows the bottom part of a treeand also many maple leaves in fall colours and asketchy reference to the foreground.

Fortunée Shugar has two paintings on display, onecalled “I Need You” and the other “Celebrate theMoment.” The latter confronts the viewer by beingplaced where it is the first seen on entering the gallery.It is a large acrylic consisting of a swirling arrange-ment of several types of flowers rendered in vibrantcolours throughout the surface.

Ruirong Yu has three works on display, one being asmall pastel of an orchid. The other two are renderedin a typical oriental fashion.

Several other artists are also involved, includ-ing Michael Parkin, Terry Sametz, MargaretChwialkowska, Ralph Nevins, Jay Anderson, JillAlexander and Kathleen Wright.

The Foyer Gallery is located at 1701 WoodroffeAve., entrance one. For more information, phone 613-580-2424 ext. 42226 or visit www.foyergallery.com.

Gerald Smith’s piece Percé Rock is part of theGamut display at the Foyer Gallery until Nov. 8.
