C2 THE OTTAWA CITIZEN WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2008 CITY Ottawa woman dies in U.S. plane crash Lloyd picked as school board trustee The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board selected Douglas Lloyd last night to be the new trustee for Zone 4. Mr. Lloyd was one of 10 applicants for the position, which was vacated by Margaret Lange, who resigned in January after she was appointed as the Canadian Trade Commissioner in Buffalo, New York. A bilingual father of three, Mr.

Lloyd works for the federal public service and told the Citizen when he applied for the position that he wanted to do it "to give back to the community. The OCDSB decided to appoint a new trustee instead of having a byelection, which would have cost $350,000. Hunter Sailing Association. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said yesterday it is investigating the incident.

"We are not at a point where we can determine the cause for this accident it's too early," said spokesman Keith Holloway. He said investigators have documented the scene and icing will be among the factors examined as the cause of the crash. He said the preliminary report will be available at the end of the week. The full investigation will probably take from 12 to 18 months. Tony Tiefenbach, a flying officer with the Ottawa Flying Club, said icing "destroys your lift.

It increases the weight of the aircraft; it increases drag." He said planes flying in known icy conditions should have anti-icing capacity, or should leave the problem area. BY THULASI SRjKANTHAN An Ottawa woman was killed Sunday when a small plane carrying her and a friend crashed in a mountainous region of Virginia. Margaret O'Brien, 44, of Gloucester, died immediately, along with her friend and pilot, Aditya "Roy" Sanwalka, in his 30s, of Toronto. The pair had been travelling from Canada to Jacksonville, Florida, when Mr. Sanwalka radioed Atlanta's flight tower Sunday morning about a problem with his aircraft.

"He indicated he was having some problems with icing on the wings," said Sgt. Michael Conroy of the Virginia State Police. Shortly afterwards, radar and voice contact with the 1969 Mooney M20C plane were lost, Sgt. Conroy said. While an emergency beacon on Mr.

San- walka's plan helped guide emergency workers to the crash site in Smyth County, authorities say the pair were already dead. Yesterday, friends and family expressed their grief and shock. "He was more than a friend, he was family," said Khaja Uddin, who has known Mr. Sanwalka for more than 30 years. "He was the most generous and giving person anyone could have known." Friends described Mr.

Sanwalka as someone who loved his friends, loved to have fun and lived life to the fullest. He had a special place in his heart for flying and gaining knowledge, they said. About Ms. O'Brien, Mr. Uddin said, "She was a lovely person and will also be sorely missed by her family and friends." The pair took part in the Lake Ontario Notice of Liquor Licence Application Ontario Group wants 'Gay Village' along small section of Bank Street Man charged with homicide in death of Cornwall woman BY DALE SMITH The Ontario Provincial Police have arrested a 37-year-old man on second-degree murder charges after a woman was found dead in a South Stormont home yesterday morning.

Phair said she used to see Mrs. Groulx out and about every day with her husband, Jacques, but she had gone into seclusion since he died several years ago. After Mr. Groulx died, she said, she had one conversation with Pierre, a horticulturalist in his 30s, in which he told her he was taking care of his mother.

Courriel licensingagco.on.ca "1 think it's a worthy idea, but I thing these things require a critical mass," said David Rimmer, owner of the gay bookstore After Stonewall in the proposed Village district. While Mr. Rimmer sees the idea of designating the area as gay or gay-friendly as admirable, he adds that "when you stop to think of it, a bookstore, a pride shop, a bathhouse and a restaurant do not a Village make." Mr. Crawford disagrees. "There is a Village here," Mr.

Crawford contends. "There is a strong critical mass that has developed over a long period of time. However, it isn't very visible, and that's essentially what we're trying to do, is create that visibility so that people are aware that this truly exists, to help support the businesses and organizations that are already here, and to encourage new growth." Somerset Ward Councillor Diane Holmes contends it's still early days, and that there is plenty of time for the Village designation to happen. She also has expressed interest in having the city pay for street signs as it does along Corsa Italia Preston Street and the Chinese-lettered signs in Chinatown, although costlier banners would be another matter. "We'll see what the BIA (Business Improvement Area) has to say about it," Ms.

Holmes said. "First of all, we need a proposal, we need to see what people are interested, and hopefully sit down with some of the GLBT businesses that are in the BIA, and see what everybody would agree to." But if a more visible critical mass is really what's needed, Mr. Rimmer said he sees only one way to make that happen. "Close down Toronto and Montreal." Activists looking to have a section of Bank Street designated an official Village staged an "educational theatrical demonstration" yesterday, draping fabric matching the six colours of the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered) community's rainbow flag along the street. The proposal has been met with indiffer-erice from the city and the business community.

A recent open house on the renewal of Bank Street did not even address the question of designating the stretch between Nepean arid James streets as a Village. If the city won't put up rainbow flags on Bank Street, we will," says Jeremy Dias, founder of Jer's Vision, the group that organized the demonstration. Instead of being embraced by public administration and celebrated for our ideas, our enthusiasm for making the city a better place, I believe that we're really being stifled," Mr. Dias said yesterday. J'We have an opportunity to give Bank Street an identity, finally.

The city is rejecting our proposal and again choosing mediocrity." JJntil the open house, the city seemed open to the idea of creating a Village district, inviting members of the GLBT community to participate in the public advisory committee on the redevelopment plans. "The response that I had been receiving was overwhelmingly positive until recently," says Glenn Crawford, who had volunteered to bring forward the GLBT community's interests to the public advisory committee. The largest concern the proposal has raised is that these kinds of districts cannot be designated from the top down.
