Faces of the first air war the focus at Canadian War Museum Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
After more than two years of work, a new exhibit, called Deadly Skies – Air War 19141918, opened at the Canadian War Museum on June 10. It encompasses the stories of nine people who fought in the war, including Eric Ohman, a Canadian pilot who routinely flew in combat patrols and escorted observation planes. Ohman’s daughter, Audrey Ohman Southward, attended
a preview of the exhibit and spoke about her father, who died at age 65 when she was 19. “He didn’t go on about the war too much,” Ohman Southward said. But what he did talk about was his friends and the camaraderie among those fighting in the war. Ohman’s goggles and other possessions are displayed, alongside about 80 artifacts. “He spoke of the joys of flying, the noises and wonderful sights,” she said. He also spoke

about his training and how he learned to fly with his teacher kicking the back of his seat in the plane, telling him to go right or left, up or down. “It was very primitive, but it worked,” she said. Ohman crashed during training and his face was injured. More than once, he arrived back from a mission to find he was listed as missing in action and his belongings were neatly packaged with a label – “deceased officer’s kit.” Near the end of the war, he was shot down again, but was able to land his plane in Lille, France. He was the first Allied airman to arrive there and was given keys to the city by the mayor. “He was a lovely, outgoing and friendly man, but he found death very sad – it was hard on him,” Ohman Southward said of her father. Long after his death, she found 200 letters he MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND wrote from overseas to his Audrey Ohman Southward and Gordon Southward stand with an illustration of Ohman family. Southward’s father Eric Ohman, a Montreal pilot who served during the First World War See INTERACTIVE page 4

City of Ottawa Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments Secondary dwelling units (coach houses) in accessory structures Zoning Study In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning and Growth Management department of the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law amendment (ZBA) affect residential properties city wide. The purpose of the proposed OPA is to adjust an existing policy within Section 3.1 and Section 2.5.2 of the Official Plan to allow Coach Houses as an appropriate form of secondary infill housing. The proposed policy direction sets forward the framework for how to allow coach houses on residential lots throughout the City. The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to provide performance standards to implement the proposed policy direction for coach houses as a permitted residential use for properties which have a detached, semi-detached, linked detached, duplex or rowhouse dwelling as the primary dwelling on the lot. Changes to Section 133 secondary dwelling units will provide the performance standards to allow coach houses. Supplementary changes are required throughout the By-law to ensure that existing provisions do not conflict with this new permitted use. The land to which the proposed OPA (file No. D01-01-15-0002) applies is also subject to the proposed ZBLA (file No. D02-02-15-0021). To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner or go to ottawa.ca/coachhouses. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by July 22, 2016. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Dated at Ottawa this June 24, 2016.

Interactive elements featured in facinating exhibit Continued from front
After watching a National Film Board documentary, called Aces – A Story of the First Air War, and see-
ing Ohman featured in the film, Ohman Southward’s husband was inspired to type out those letters and bind them so his children could know their grandfa-
ther. The letters offer a more sanitized version of his missions, but his diary provides a clearer picture. “It tells the real story.

He didn’t tell his family the horrors until after the war,” Ohman Southward said. When Cathy Newman, a niece of Ohman Southward, read the letters, she was able to see why her grandfather was loved so much. “I even get a little emotional about it. He was such a sweet soul, a musician, an artist and a jewelry designer,” she said, adding he witnessed so much. “To witness what he saw and to still be so sensitive is a testament to the man he was,” she said. Visitors have the opportunity to explore Ohman’s story through a graphic novel that’s available for purchase from the museum. The pages of the book also line the walls of the exhibit, telling the stories of training, observation, bombings and aerial combat. “The exhibition is not about tactics and technology. Ultimately it’s about
the people who fought through the air war in different parts of the world and from both sides of the conflict,” said John Maker, curator of the exhibit. Featured in the exhibit are: • American pilot Marjorie Stinson, • German aerial observer Gunther Pluschow, • French balloonist Maurice Arondel, • Canadian observer James Moses, • German Zeppelin commander Heinrich Mathy, • Canadian bomber pilot Henry Wiser, • the Red Baron – Manfred von Richthofen • English resident Ada May Smith, who experienced a bombing raid at eight years old. The research for the exhibit was done in archives in Canada, the United States, Australia, the U.K., France and Germany. Maker has also been working with the families of those featured,
including the Ohmans. “We’re bringing these stories out of the archives, old newspapers and people’s attics and we are now presenting them for the first time in a new and exciting way,” Maker said. But one of the most difficult parts of the entire exhibit was creating the graphic novel – in colour. Maker said researchers had to comb through documents to find colour references to get the illustrations as historically accurate as possible. The exhibit also features interactive elements. Museum-goers can step inside a re-created balloon to try their hand at observation, suit up in a pilot’s gear and test their own flying abilities. Deadly Skies runs to Jan. 29, 2017 and then the museum will convert the show for travel. Maker said he hopes the exhibit can be featured across the country. “There’s already some interest in Europe,” he said.

The official unveiling of the Doug Thompson Pathway Plaque happened at the O-YA centre in Osgoode, where the pathway begins. Mayor Watson and I kicked off the celebration with short speeches, followed by Doug Thompson thanking everyone for the wonderful gesture. MPP Lisa MacLeod and Councillor Michael Qaqish were also in attendance. Following the unveiling, Doug and his wife Mary Lynn unveiled their own donation of a park bench to be placed near the plaque at a later date. Invited guests were then invited to join in the cake cutting. It was a great even for a deserving individual. It’s always a distinct honour to attend an event such as Lebanese Night at Rideau Carleton Raceway with Ambassador Sami Haddad. Councillors El-Chantiry and Qaqish also joined me in the festivities of dining and dancing. The national anthems of Canada and Lebanon were sung beautifully by Samantha Ammoun. The annual Metcalfe and District Lions Steak BBQ took place at the Metcalfe Fairgrounds with a full house! It is always good to have the time to sit and enjoy some time with residents and fellow Lions in a social setting. The Castor Valley Elementary School held their annual Fun Night with a twist this year. The principal Chris Toivone was “duct taped” to the wall of the gym to raise funds! He was such a good sport about it all and the kids had a fantastic time helping! I played a role by cutting strips of duct tape and then was able to also help pin him to the wall. All in good fun! The cotton candy machine that we sponsored was such a huge success that they ran out early! We will know for next year to order double! The amount of families that came to participate in the Fun Night was truly a testament to their school spirit. Thank you for inviting me to participate, I had a great time. Our open door afternoon on Tuesday was a little quieter than normal this week, but nevertheless still busy with the people that did stop by. Always great to greet new people and help out with small issues. Hope to see you next week as well. Same time, same place: Tuesdays, 1 to 5 pm at the Metcalfe Ward Office, 8243 Victoria St. Congratulations to McVey Insurance of Metcalfe on their 55th year of serving the community! Barry McVey Sr. (President) and daughter Debbie McVey accepted the certificate from our office this week. We are very proud to have them a part of our Ward and look forward to many more celebrations with them in the years to come.

Greely Lions host annual Father’s Day fundraiser Joseph Morin joe.morin@metroland.com
The Greely Lions keep finding innovative ways to give back to their community. On Wednesday, June 15 the Tosca Ristorante, located in the Findlay Creek Centre, hosted their third Greely Lions Club Father’s Day fundraiser. The idea behind the fundraiser is simple. Patrons at the popular restaurant include Lion club members and those who are just out for a great meal. A portion of the money they all spend at the restaurant goes directly back to the Greely Lions. On Wednesday evening there was little room to be had as people dropped by for their evening meal. Ellen Boisvenue is the fundraiser co-ordinator for the Greely Lions and the person responsible for connecting with the owners of Tosca. “Three years ago when I
The club also holds a Junk in Your Trunk event every year when people with garage sale items sell their items from the trunk of their cars for a fee to the Lions. The club takes $20 for the space a car uses during the sale but the vendors keep everything else they make. The event is held in the parking lot of Ottawa Camping Trailers. The Lions also hold trivia fundraisers during the year to help out for example the Osgoode Care Centre’s new JOSEPH MORIN/METROLAND roof project in the past and Greely Lions fundraising co-ordinator, Ellen Boisvenue the Greely Legion building and Lions club president Lee Nickerson enjoy a full renovation in the present.

Ailing MP rises to the occasion
E
very time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger is seen in public these days it is a shocking sight. The deterioration to his body has been exceedingly swift since he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shortly after last fall’s federal election. But that doesn’t mean that Belanger can’t still get things done. On June 15, Belanger’s long-time effort to have the words changed in Canada’s national anthem to be more gender neutral – from “True patriot love in all thy sons command� to “True patriot love in all of us command� — was approved by a vote in the House of Commons. “Just two words – of us – would replace ‘thy sons’,� Belanger said in his spring newsletter. “These two words would make our national anthem more inclusive and pay tribute to all the women who have helped to shape our society. I believe it is important for our national anthem to finally recognize their contribution.� “Many thanks to my colleagues for their unequivocal support demonstrated in the final vote in the House of Commons on my Bill C-210,� Belanger wrote in a Facebook post on June 15. “I strongly believe that Canadians now are ready
for an inclusive national anthem. On the eve of celebrating the 150th anniversary of our confederation, it is important that one of our most famous and popular national symbols reflects the progress made in our nation in equality between men and the women. Now, C-210 will be sent to the Senate of Canada for the next steps.� There were some MPs who voted against the change, primarily from the Conservative Party, but there were some Conservatives who supported the change as well. Opponents made two basic points: they don’t think that ‘thy sons’ excludes women, and thus there is no need for gender neutral language, and you shouldn’t mess with the wording of the anthem as a matter of principle. What trumps those arguments against making a change is the fact that ‘thy sons’ was not originally in the anthem either. Those words were added during the First World War. If the anthem could be changed in the past, it is not a valid argument now to say the original words are sacred when they are not the original words at all. Belanger is clearly fighting for his life these days. In this fight, though, he also clearly emerged victorious, and he should be proud of that victory.
Never underestimate your local talent

he festival season begins this week in Ottawa with the jazz festival, a welcome beginning to the summer. Bluesfest and others will follow. While music aficionados will debate, as they always do, aspects of the festival line-ups, no one will dispute the joys of hearing live music, especially when it is performed outdoors. For performers of all types of music the festival season brings mixed emotions. On the one hand, there is the excitement of seeing and hearing some of the best Canadian and international singers and instrumentalists perform in front of large crowds. On the other hand, the festival season raises, for local performers, the question of where those crowds are in the off-season.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town The festival season demonstrates that people in Ottawa and the surrounding area love music and will turn out to see it performed live — even, I would venture to guess, braving a chewedup downtown to get there. The audiences are out there, for sure. The question is what happens to them in the months when there are no festivals on. Aside from big concerts by international stars, all types of music are starved for audiences. This may have something to do with the fact that local musicians are local, never mind that many are of international
quality. In the old expression, an expert is someone from out of town, and that may apply equally to performers. But Ottawans will still turn out for local performers under certain circumstances. Last week, the jazz festival held something called a 24-Hour Jazz Ramble featuring local performers at the Record Centre in Hintonburg. (Disclosure: I was, briefly, one of them.) The place was packed and audiences spilled out onto the street, particularly in the evening. True, it was a special event, well-promoted in local media, it was a warm and pleasant night, and various prizes were on offer. But still, it did seem to demonstrate that the potential for support of local performers exists. The trick is to unlock that potential, to get the people out supporting the arts when there is

no festival, no special event, no big-name star from out of town. The obstacles are formidable, here as elsewhere. There is much to keep to people at home. The Internet is infinitely amusing. TV screens have become large and the range of viewing choices has expanded substantially. Both children and adults participate in sports. Plus, people are busy at work, tired when they get home, disinclined to go out, particularly when the weather is cold. Under the proper circumstances, you can get them out of the house. The trick is to create more of those circumstances. Promoters and club owners need to be more creative and more energetic in informing the public about what they are presenting. Right now, many club owners are entirely passive, leaving it to the performers to promote themselves. In addition, local media need to pay more attention to local EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: Joe Morin KPF NPSJO!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER: ,FMMZ ,FOU LLFOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN
performers. It’s a demonstrated fact that a good plug on, say, CBC’s All in a Day, can bring crowds for local performers. For all local media, a little less focus on Hollywood celebrities and a little more on the artists in our community might have a positive impact. The rest of us just need to get out more.

Alfredsson scores a doctor of laws Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com
Captain, Olympian, and community builder. Now Daniel Alfredsson can add doctor to his name. Alfredsson and Gail Asper, a humanitarian and advocate for human rights, received honourary degrees from Carleton University during the school’s convocation on June 7. The former Ottawa Senators captain joked he only had to deliver a five minute speech to receive his doctor of
laws — adding he knew all the graduates seated before him had to work a lot harder. The Swedenborn, adopted Canadian told the audience when he came to Ottawa in 1994 all he knew was hockey, but that if any of the new graduates work hard at something they know, love and are passionate about, anything is possible. “Believe in yourself,” Alfredsson said. “I know it’s a cliche, but the best cliches get repeated because they are true.” Alfredsson added nothing is hard work when it’s
your passion. Carleton recognized Alfredsson, not only for his contributions to hockey, but for his commitment to the community. Alfredsson said it was eight years ago when he began raising awareness and has worked to overcome the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. “It is a part of my life, and my future. It gives me strength and is my inspiration,” he told the graduates, adding they should seize what is their inspiration and never give up.

Mary learns there is always something to be done in the household
S
itting on a straightback kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better. It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception. All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play. And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times. Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and pie crusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb. My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long day ahead of me. Making me See in-store for details. even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey were completely ignoring me and the long sighs.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Well, that wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job was as boring as sitting with nothing to do. And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul. “Well?” Mother said. It was more of a command than a question. I was in charge of all the string that came into the house. Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string. It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard. I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair. Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square. Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches! The dish-
cloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small hanky. My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table. I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon. After about 10 minutes, I was almost asleep in the chair. This was more boring than having nothing to do! Finally, I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later. Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well that I would never get back to the knitting. ‘You know what I think about quitters,” she said, never taking her eyes off the filled pies. Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it. She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags. See MARY page 11

Mary learns to be careful about what she says Continued from page 10
These would serve as tea towels. Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making. “Mary would you come over here please? I think this apron is too long for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.”
She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again. Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it. For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model. Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for
size. Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer. She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles. I learned a lot that day. I learned that my sister Audrey loved me, and I learned
that you never, ever, said to Mother, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to https://www.smashwords. com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details, or if you would like a hard copy, please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

Ottawans mourn victims of Orlando mass shootings Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Many came draped in rainbow flags. Some carried American flags. Others cupped lit candles that flickered in the chilly breeze. Hundreds of Ottawa residents stood at the base of the Canadian Tribute to Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street as a show of solidarity in the wake of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history at a popular gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. in the early morning hours of June 12. “We matter,” said one man, standing on the steps of the monument. “And we’re all valid, and I love you
all.” The candlelit vigil, organized by Ottawa Capital Pride on June 12 for 8 p.m., drew many well-known Ottawans. “When we heard the news, we didn’t really know what else to do except ask you to gather,” said Tammy Dopson, chair of Ottawa Capital Pride. A TERRIBLE LOSS
While there were still many unknowns about the unfolding tragedy earlier in the day, she said, “What we do know is that our community suffered a terrible loss for Orlando. Our trans community,
12 Manotick News - Thursday, June 23, 2016
our queer community of colour – I don’t know if we will ever know why. “I don’t think there’s a rationale. We asked you to come here tonight to talk, share stories, hug, love.” In a Facebook post issued earlier in the day, Capital Pride officials expressed outrage over the attack and profound sadness over the loss of life. Capital Pride organizers asked vigil attendees to bring candles to the event “as the light of tolerance, peace and pride shall not be extinguished by dark and violent acts of hate.” One woman at the vigil, who wore a Pride flag around her shoulders,
also climbed the stairs of the monument to read out a handful of names of the victims, and lead the crowd in a moment of silence. Meanwhile, Ottawa Centre MP Catherine McKenna said it wasn’t a night for speeches. “It’s a night where we come together as a community, and I think what we need to do tonight is talk to each other, hug each other, make new friends … and understand that an act of hatred can’t spread that hatred.” FLAG AT HALF MAST
Hours before the vigil, Mayor Jim Watson requested that the pride flag
be raised in front of the city’s Heritage Building and that the American flag be flown at Marion Dewar Plaza at city hall until sundown on June 16. “We are fortunate to live in a city and a country that embrace diversity, and where people are free to love who they wish to love,” he said in a statement. The tragedy south of the border is a reminder that progress must continue until a “climate of acceptance is extended to all members of the LGBTQ community around the world,” said Watson. Likewise, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement in which he expressed his shock and sadness over the “domestic terror attack,” in which 49 people were shot to death and more than 50 wounded by a suspected lone gunman. “On behalf of the Government of Canada, Sophie and I offer our condolences and prayers to the families and friends of those lost today, and wish a full recovery to all those injured. We stand in solidarity with Orlando and the LGBTQ2 community,” Trudeau said. “We grieve with our friends in the United States and Florida, and offer any assistance we can provide.”

2016 Report to the Community
OUR CARE
Last year, QCH was one of 18 Ontario hospitals chosen by Health Quality Ontario to take part in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program – or NSQIP. The goal is to ensure the very best care using evidence-based guidelines. Other hospitals involved in this voluntary program have reported fewer complications, improved care and even shorter hospitals stays.
Emergency visits
77,974 Day surgery cases
19,315 Surgical inpatients
Patient outcomes are reviewed during their stay and once at home to look for unusual occurrences or complications. That data is then compared to 800 hospitals internationally to allow us to see how we are doing. From there, we can drill down and identify any opportunities for improvement.
4,972 Medical inpatients
4,643 Psychiatry inpatients
675 Births
2,397 Clinic & Day Program visits
85,380 Diagnostic Imaging tests
142,918 Cardiopulmonary procedures
262,376 Rehabilitation outpatients
93,087 Rehabilitation inpatients

SAFER SURGERY
It’s all part of our focus on safety and quality. When things don’t go as planned, we want to understand and learn. This will lead to better care and healthier patients.
Describe a pill by its colour, size and shape and chances are that our pharmacy team can tell you the name of the drug. They are the experts and they can be found throughout the hospital helping keep our patients safe. At QCH, we have a formal process called medication reconciliation to ensure that each patient’s medications are reviewed at admission and discharge, as well as at each transition point in-between. It’s all about communication. Pharmacy technicians work with patients, families and care providers to develop the initial medication history that stays with the patient throughout their stay. Any discrepancies can be quickly identified and corrected. And when the patient goes home, the list is reviewed again to ensure each patient is informed and prepared. We want to reduce the number of medication errors and adverse drug reactions – both in the hospital and at home.

Q
uality and Safety. Two simple words that mean so much. At Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH), it’s a commitment to ensuring every patient experience is the best it can be. It means staying on top of the latest leading-edge practices. And it requires everyone at QCH to be part of one team caring for our patients and families. We want to be the hospital of choice, recognized for our exemplary patient care, people and performance in an environment of innovation and strategic partnerships. In this year’s Report to the Community, we’re pleased to share some of our latest quality and safety initiatives. It’s our top priority– every day.
EXEMPLARY CARE
Delivering the best quality is a whole hospital effort. We all want to do the best we can.
We couldn’t be prouder! This year, QCH received the highest award possible from Accreditation Canada Accreditation with Exemplary Standing. Every four years, QCH is evaluated through Accreditation Canada’s voluntary process. An onsite review looks at everything from admission and discharge processes to infection control rates. The findings evaluate QCH’s performance against international standards of excellence. It’s an opportunity to validate how we do things and look for ways that we can do them better. Staff, physicians,
volunteers, Board members, patients and community members are involved. Our overall compliance rating was 99% and we met every one of the required organizational practices. The results reflect our team’s commitment to safe and high quality care. But it doesn’t stop there. Each year, QCH develops a Quality Improvement Plan to continually monitor our work. Accreditation is all about improving quality, reducing risk, and strengthening accountability. And we’re all for that!

A SENIOR FRIENDLY APPROACH
PROVIDING A NEW PERSPECTIVE It takes a team to provide care at QCH – and our team includes patients and families. In fact, the patient’s voice is the most important one at the table. And now we want to do even more by ensuring they are part of every aspect of QCH – from advising hospital committees to improving discharge instructions and visiting hours, as well as participating on patient food tasting panels.

Our Patient and Family Advisory Council members share their ideas, provide feedback and help shape how care is delivered at QCH. For example, their suggestions to make a patient brochure easier to read or understand can actually reduce risk and truly make a difference. It’s our common sense perspective. Patients and families have a totally different vantage point. If we can see the care through their eyes, we know that care can only get better.

To do so, QCH is part of the Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) program. More than 80 nurses have already completed specialized training. Everyone at QCH - even our volunteers - will be part of the learning. In fact, QCH has attained exemplar status with the program, recognizing our commitment to providing the very best care for seniors.

ADVANCING CARE FOR ALL AGES
Construction is almost complete and now our health care team is getting ready as well. We are changing the way we care to be more senior friendly. Everything from respectful communications to the physical environment is being addressed. We want to promote comfort, safety, independence and well-being for seniors throughout the hospital.

Patient revenue
We are so grateful for our caring community. Thanks to your generosity, we have advanced care for all ages at Queensway Carleton Hospital. In fact, in 2015, our community helped us raise over $4.7 million. Delivering on our promise, funds transferred to the hospital have purchased many vital pieces of equipment, upgraded patient information systems and technology, provided specialized learning for our nursing staff and supported the capital construction of the Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit.
Meet Irene Nicholson. She is 101-years-old and is exactly the kind of patient who will benefit from QCH’s new Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit. This specialized acute care unit will focus on the whole person, not just one medical issue. It’s the first of its kind in eastern Ontario and only the second ACE Unit in Ontario.

AND
QUALITY MATTERS
QCH is proud to support a greener environment through several initiatives that focus on reducing energy consumption and redirecting waste from the landfill to recycling. In fact, QCH was recently recognized with an award from the Ontario Hospital Association for energy excellence. A great example is the reusable sharps container program. These plastic boxes are mounted on walls throughout the hospital to safely collect used needles and syringes. In the past, the boxes were discarded once full. Now QCH works with a company that empties, sterilizes and returns the containers for reuse. It keeps our patients and staff safe, but it’s also environmentally friendly. In the past year, QCH has diverted 2.5 metric tonnes of plastic from the landfill. That’s the equivalent of 193,798 water bottles! Manotick News - Thursday, June 23, 2016 15

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND
Ready to paddle From left, Timothy Kennedy, 14, Adrian Cormier, 12, and Julia Kennedy, 11, were on hand at the Friends of Petrie Island open house on June 11 to recruit more paddlers for the Petrie Island Canoe Club. The young canoe club has been searching for more boats, and just received this war canoe by the Aka:we Canoe Club in Oshweken, Ont., which is near Brantford. Club president Sarah Kennedy made the trip to Southern Ontario to retrieve the donation, which will be refurbished before use by the club.
Council approved the environmental assessment for the $91-million, three-phase, plan to widen the Airport Parkway on June 8, despite some dissent from downtown councillors. Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum said he was “astonished” that the staff report didn’t establish baseline traffic figures for the future that didn’t include a widening of the road. “I learned the authors of the study didn’t consider how the demand or the use of the road would be considered,” he said. “What they told me is that they made all their assumptions that traffic would be the same, which is false.” Nussbaum said he plans to meet with staff to find out how it’s possible that a

be $31 million, but shovels likely won’t be in the ground until at least 2020. The next part would be widening the parkway from Hunt Club to Lester Road, then widening Lester from the parkway to Albion Road, then from Albion Road to Bank Street. Council also received a petition with 175 signatures of area residents that are against parts of the project, most notably the off ramp at Walkley Road and the widening of Lester Road to Bank Street. Keith Egli, who serves as chair of the transportation committee, defended the public consultation on the file. He said that with a city the size of Ottawa, there is no magic bullet to deal with congestion issues. “The expansion of the parkway is just one part of the solution,” he said.
$800,000 study didn’t take all factors into account. While he said he didn’t think anything could be done about the current study, he wants to make sure it won’t happen again. “I have to address it at this point, moving forward to try and correct the mistake – make sure it doesn’t happen again,” he said. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said solidifying a plan to widen the road, in advance of the opening of the Trillium Line – an expansion of the city’s OTrain service that runs parallel to the parkway – is akin to spending money with both hands. The environmental assessment calls for the expansion to start with expanding the parkway to four roads between Brookfield and Hunt Club roads, with an off ramp at Walkley Road. The first phase would

OPINION
Connected to your community
Sittin’ on the hilltop, watching summer come over the horizon
I
t’s 8:30 on a Sunday morning and I’ve already been in the garden for an hour. I have waged a war against the grass encroachment on my veggies and so far, I appear to be winning the battle. I’m not sure where my veggies are, however. I see two green bean plants, four beets, two clumps of kale and the beginnings of half a dozen potato plants. Most of the tomato plants are still standing. Maybe the rest of my seeds were duds. Or the drought got them. I may have to replant. I think I’ll start with seedlings this time. Maybe the Farmers’ Market will have some. Speaking of the Farmers’ Market, I’m attempting to bring some things from my garden this year. In the past I have sold chickens and turkeys and this year I am primarily there to sell my book, but I do have a
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife garden. Theoretically I will have produce to sell. I’m starting this morning with bunches of fresh cut pink peonies, yellow and purple iris. The scent is heady as it fills the airspace in my truck, Dora the Explorer. I hope to bring some farmfresh veggies to weekend markets over the summer, but I doubt I will get to bring many tomatoes. The Farmer has “staked” a claim to those (see what I did there?) for his winter spaghetti sauce. So far we have not managed to catch the raccoon that visits our porch each
night. I imagine he is so large that rather than getting lured into and trapped in the cage, he sits beside it, lifts it up over his head and shakes the bait food out of it, enjoying a midnight snack before going on to help himself to the leftover barn cat food. I am hoping s/he is too fat, old and lazy to attack my turkey chicks. The chicks are doing quite well. They are tame and come to my brush their chests against my hand when I dangle my fingers in their pens. A family of groundhogs
lives under our falling-down playhouse in the backyard. The little miniature farmhouse has become an unstable art installation in the past few years, with its weather-beaten roof, moss-covered porch rails and hole-y floor. We really should take it down or shore it up, if that is possible, before our granddaughter is large enough to venture inside. The groundhogs are hoping we don’t make that decision any time soon. I can just imagine the infrastructure they have built beneath it. The mother groundhog is the size of a large cat and her half dozen fat little babies look very happy and healthy indeed. They are brave, too. They crept out from under the playhouse when the farmer was working on his tractor and approached him in a line. They were on their way to the rock pile at
the fence, where they like to sun themselves in the warm afternoons, and he was in their path. They didn’t perceive him as a threat at all, and passed close by. I told him I don’t think the groundhogs do any harm and they have been raising families on our property for years. So far, they get to stay. We don’t have any crops for them to ruin and they aren’t interested in my garden until the veggies come up. We’ll see what happens then. The cattle are enjoying springtime, taking their afternoon naps in the dark of the barn on hot days, out in the meadow on cool ones. The Farmer is concerned they may be testing his fences, as the Gallagher electric wire he has installed doesn’t seem to be keeping all of them in. We often see the calves on the wrong side of the
fence, nibbling the sweet, fresh bushes along the fence line. I guess they are small enough to limbo under the fence and maybe their hide is too thick for the charge. The mamas and bull are still on the inside, where they belong, so we are ok for the moment. When the scent of corn and apples hits the breeze, however, we may be in for some escape artists. Those tempting smells bring out the bad behaviour in all of them.

Majority of Rideau St. businesses open during sinkhole fix Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Many businesses were forced to shut their doors after a sinkhole opened up on Rideau Street June 8. Emergency crews acted to evacuated the area quickly, since the sinkhole had also caused a water main and gas line break. Over the weekend, city crews were working at the site, removing water from the light rail tunnel and working with affected businesses. As of June 13, the Chateau Laurier, the Westin, Milestones, the Metropolitan, the Rideau Centre, the Bay and Chapters have reopened with full or partial services. The first phase of concrete work to stabilize the sinkhole is complete and crews are working to re-
store the infrastructure damaged by the road collapse. Drinking water advisories will remain in place until Ottawa Public Health can determine the water is safe for consumption, the memo says. Portions of Colonel By Drive were opened June 10 to allow access to the Westin and the ByWard Market. Road closures remain in place along portions of Rideau Street and Sussex Drive. At a media briefing on June 10, Mayor Jim Watson said it will be one to two weeks before Rideau Street is fully operational. Steve Cripps, head of the city’s rail implementation office, estimated the hole measured 29 metres wide, 40 metres long and roughly five metres deep.

Downtown ready to put on a Canada Day party The city’s biggest party of the year kicks off earlier this year than ever before. Canada Day celebrations start at 9 a.m. on Parliament’s East Lawn with the Changing of the Guard ceremony. The Peace Tower Carillon concert begins at 10 a.m. Television personality Rebecca Makonnen and Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall host the Canada Day Noon Show on Parliament Hill with remarks from dignitaries — typically the prime minister and the governor general attend the festivities — a flypast by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and shortly after that the noon show concert begins. The concert will include performances by Canadian artists Alex Cuba, Indian City, Coleman Hell, Metric, Alex Nevsky, Cœur de Pirate and Les Hay Babies. The show runs until 1:30 p.m. The Canada Day Evening Show begins at 7:30 p.m. and will feature all the artists from the noon show as well as a flypast by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds. The President’s Choice Pyro-musical Fireworks be-
gin around 10 p.m. Canadian Heritage is once again hosting the events, which will take place at three official sites: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa, and the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. “I’m very pleased to be taking part in my first Canada Day as minister of Canadian heritage,” said the minister, Mélanie Joly. “I invite you to join me in making the most of the many activities being offered in Canada’s Capital Region. I invite all Canadians to show their Canadian pride during the celebrations taking place in your part of the country.” Festivities at Major’s Hill Park will feature a number of cultural performances, including Shawn Hook and Andie Duquette, as well there being displays and activities set up for all ages. Family-focused programming will be offered both indoors and outdoors at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau that will include displays, games, performances and inflatable structures.

Canada Day 2016
Suburban parties continue to grow year by year BARRHAVEN
The Mattamy Homes Canada Day in Barrhaven is held at Clarke Fields. Parking is limited.

The schedule for 2016 includes: 10:30 a.m. to 10:40 p.m. Bus Shuttle between Ross’ Independent Grocer and Clarke Fields (only $1 per person!) 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kids Zone Stage Shows, Multicultural Stage Shows 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Kids Zone Activities & Games 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Food vendors 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Midway open Agenda for Canada Day - July 1, 2016 5 p.m. Speeches, Parade of flags, O Canada, Cake 5:30 to 10 p.m. Music (Main Stage): Rick Knowles, Renegade, Altr Ego 10 p.m. Fireworks Clarke Fields is a dog-free park and you may be subject to fines if you bring your pet. According to the Canada Day in Barrhaven website, under their new and dynamic leadership, Canada Day in Barrhaven has morphed into a smaller version of the Canada Day activities held on the Hill every July 1.
The Mattamy Homes Canada Day in Barrhaven Committee comprises a group of 14 members. The local businesses, community partners and grants from the City of Ottawa and Canadian Heritage contribute annually in excess of $85,000 to run the event with the fireworks display alone costing $15,000. It takes several months of the year to carry out the planning, and since 2013, includes several days of a midway with many carnival rides and games. Presently, there are three stages, Kidz Zone Stage, Multi-Cultural Stage and the Main Stage. In 2015 the event was incorporated as Canada Day in Barrhaven, has its own insurance and now receives tax benefits that go back to the event. The modern event has continued to be family friendly, with a variety of food vendors, kids’ activities, multicultural shows, Big Bands on stage, an ATM on-site and the whole event is alcohol prohibited. You can take a shuttle bus from Ross’ Independent or come by bicycle and use our secure bike lock-up. Come out, bring your family and friends and have a great day celebrating our country’s birthday. KANATA
Kanata can put on a birthday party for Canada and it’s not even till next year, where the big mile-
stone hits.

Salsa Babies Ottawa will have a family dance class as some of the other entertainment.

Canada Day 2016
Go red and white in Stittsville for 2016 Canada Day 2016 in Stittsville once again offers lots of fun activities and entertainment, capped off with a gala fireworks display. It all happens again this year on Canada Day, Friday, July 1, from 3 p.m. onwards on the grounds at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville. Everyone in the community is invited to attend. There is no admission charge and the fun activities and entertainment, along with the fireworks are all free. Take along a lawn chair, pick out a spot on the spacious grounds and celebrate Canada’s birthday listening to a variety of on-stage entertainment, chatting with friends and neighbours and enjoying the fireworks display at the end of the evening as dusk descends on the site. There’s always an opening ceremony with local dignitaries such as the MP, the MPP and the city councillor on hand, capped off with the cutting of a Canada Day birthday cake. Bill Martin, who has lots of experience organizing weekly open mic sessions at the Stittsville Legion, is assembling this year’s onstage entertainment, so you know that it will be enjoyable. There will be lots of inflatable attractions for youngsters to enjoy and everyone, especially youngsters, love the glow sticks that are
handed out just before darkness falls. They fill the grounds with hundreds of bright lights, looking like elongated glow worms. And there will be lots to eat at this year’s Canada Day celebrations. Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria will be on hand with its pizza and other food offerings. And if this were not enough, Pong’s Poutine, that wellknown food wagon on Carp Road, will also be there with its poutine and other food products. The Holy Spirit Parish Knights of Columbus will be present as well, with frozen treats that will really hit the spot on what is hoped to be a sunny, warm day. All of this is being organized again this year by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which gathers together the donations and funds required to stage the event, with costs this year totalling well over $20,000. It is the generosity of local businesses that make this all possible. Many hands make for lighter work and the SVA welcomes volunteers from the community to help out on site, either setting up for the celebrations, helping to run the activities during the day or helping clean up after the event. Anyone interested in helping out and being a volunteer at this year’s Canada Day festivities in Stittsville should contact SVA volunteer co-
ordinator Marilyn Jenkins at 613836-5075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com. These Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville have become a tradition. They initially were held in the area south of the original arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC), offering on-stage entertainment, activities and games and, of course, the windup fire-
works. But construction of the second arena at the GRC, now known as the Matt Bradley Arena, eliminated much of the space used for these Canada Day activities and so the celebrations were moved to the front of Sacred Heart High School adjacent to the Trans Canada Trail. These Canada Day celebrations on the grounds at Sacred Heart
High School are not the only Canada Day activity going on in Stittsville on Canada Day, July 1. There’s also the annual Canada Day breakfast for seniors which takes place at Ottawa Fire Service Station No. 81 on Stittsville Main Street, right beside the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. This is a free event for seniors in Stittsville but those attending must register with the office of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Starting at 8 a.m., the breakfast is always a sea of red as virtually everyone who attends wears something red for the event. Stittsville’s firefighters are on hand to serve those at the breakfast. These Canada Day breakfasts for seniors go back to the 1980’s when then-Goulbourn township mayor Anton Wytenburg launched the initiative. The breakfast would rotate on a yearly basis, one year being held in Richmond and the next year being held in Stittsville. With the amalgamation to create the new city of Ottawa in 2001, this Canada Day breakfast became a Canada Day fixture in Stittsville, hosted by the ward councillor and held in the bays at the Stittsville fire hall on Stittsville Main Street.

Canada Day 2016
East end of city celebrates Canada’s 149th The Pineview Community Association will host its annual Canada Day in the Park on July 1 in Meadowbrook Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Part of the festivities include a fundraiser pizza lunch, activities sponsored by the Eastern Ottawa Resource Center, Gloucester Recreational Development Organization, Safer Roads Ottawa and Hydro Ottawa. The organization will launch its community consultation at the event so the association invites everyone to come out and let them know what they think of the community. Residents who participate will be registered to win prizes. The event is still looking for volunteers to help with activities, and they can reach the association at pineviewottawa@ gmail.com. ORLÉANS
Canada Day this year is going to be a lot different in
Orléans, as organizers announced in January that the Greater Orléans Canada Day celebration had been cancelled. Organizers cited financial and weather-related difficulties among the reasons for the cancellation of the event that was held for the past 11 years. “The real frustration is the financial stress that we’ve been under the last few years that’s been caused by weather,” said board member Fred Sherwin at the time of the cancellation. CUMBERLAND
While Orléans won’t be throwing a Canada Day bash this year, Cumberland’s Baitun Naseer Mosque is hosting a public event and barbecue that all are welcome to attend. Children’s activities start at 7 p.m., with a flag hoisting and national anthem at 8:40 p.m. There will also be guest speakers as well as cake. The barbecue starts at 7:30 p.m. The mosque is at 2620 Market St., Cumberland.
