Executive director of Just Food, Moe Garahan said this rural experience will highlight the growing local food industry in Ottawa. “We have a dynamic and active local food industry in Ottawa and we’re pleased to help steward this program to promote and support local food and food-related initiatives,” Garahan said.

Just because a car can pass a cyclist, doesn’t mean it’s legal – or safe. Police launched an education campaign on June 21 by demonstrating a new device that identifies drivers who don’t leave the mandatory one-metre buffer space when passing bicycles. Drivers must give bikes at least a metre space when passing under the Highway Traffic Act, but it can be hard to measure while it’s actually happening. The new law passed on Sept. 1, 2015. Bike patrol officers from central division showed off a device that connects to handlebars and uses sonar to detect when a car is too close. The device alerts the bike patrol officer when a car comes “90 centimetres or closer.” The sonar device costs about $1,000. If the city’s police were to buy more, they would likely receive a cheaper bulk rate. On June 21, a patrol officer biked down Somerset Street past Bank Street and radioed co-workers down the road when a car passed him too closely. Police are warning people to make them aware of the rule, especially in high traffic areas, before ticketing starts. Legally, police are allowed to give a $180 ticket with two demerit points. “We want to make sure that everyone knows that it’s something that we’re going to be ticketing for in the future, but this is all education,” said Const. Craig Barlow. “There’s definitely a grace period.” Barlow said it’s a similar approach po-

Jennifer Biondi from the police’s Demo Beats unit at the central district speaks with a driver who passed an Ottawa police officer on a bicycle too closely on Somerset Street on June 21. lice took when new rules regarding cellphone use while driving were introduced in Ontario. There were several cars pulled over who drove too closely to the uniformed police officer on bike. Generally, patrol officers on bicycles wear uniforms and are easily identifiable as police. “Regardless we still have people who pass too close to us,” Barlow said. The cars pulled over at Somerset Street between Kent and Lyon streets on June 21 didn’t receive tickets, but got a friendly warning from police officers as well as a
handout with more information about the changes to the Highway Traffic Act. Safer Roads Ottawa’s Kale Brown said bike shops in the area have been canvassed as well to educate cyclists about the new rulesl. Brown said most of the education has been centred around telling cyclists that if they are not impeding traffic, they can legally take the lane and don’t have to ride along the curb. He said it’s especially important in areas where cars can park on the side of the road and cyclists are at risk of being hit by a door.

Community newspaper readership remains strong in Ottawa and Valley, report shows Community newspapers are alive and well across eastern Ontario. New research conducted by BrandSpark International confirms it. The Community Newspaper Impact Report, conducted in partnership with Metroland Media, found that 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed have read at least one of the last four issues of their Metroland Media community newspaper. That rate includes the nine papers in Ottawa and another six in the Valley. Even more encouraging, 90 per cent of young adults surveyed aged 18-34 across Metroland’s east region report reading their community paper as much or more now than they did a year ago. That number climbs to 93 per cent among all adults surveyed. “There is unquestionably a lot of discussion around the role of newspapers in the modern era, and the future of newspapers as a medium,” said Mark Baltazar, Vice President and Partner at BrandSpark International. “But it’s clear from this research that the community news format – free newspapers and websites focused on hyperlocal news – plays a major role in people’s lives.” According to the findings, more Ontarians surveyed identified community newspapers as the most involved entity in their community. “Community newspapers, whether in print or online, provide a unique service in Ontario, offering community-level news and information that consumers can’t find anywhere else,” explained Michelle Digulla, Vice-President of Marketing at Metroland Media. “Not only is that leading to high levels of trust and engagement, but it’s motivating our readers to take action based on what they see in our properties.”
In fact, 77 per cent of the community newspaper readers surveyed agreed that the content of those papers drove them to take action – either visiting a store, buying something, telling someone about a “great deal or product” or going to a website to learn more.
study focused on readership for the more than 100 local websites and community newspapers (including flyers) published across Ontario by Metroland Media, such as the Kanata Kourier-Standard and Ottawa East News. The margin of error is +/-0.85 per cent.
Further, the report found: • 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed believe their community newspaper or local news website connects them to their community, • printed flyers and promotional materials are used by 81 per cent of respondents to get local shopping information, ahead of store websites (71 per cent) and emails from stores or companies (68 per cent), • more than 7 in 10 (71 per cent) Ontarians surveyed indicated their community newspaper has a positive impact on their local community.
About Metroland Media
The Community Newspaper Impact Report is the second phase of a major research study undertaken by BrandSpark and Metroland. The first wave of results were published in the Community Newspaper Readership Report in February 2016 and included the following findings: • the typical issue is read twice (2.22 times), and kept in the house for an average of almost four days (3.65 days), • a Metroland community newspaper is most commonly read by two adults in every household, • an average of 22 minutes is spent reading every issue of the community newspaper and any enclosed flyers. More than 13,000 adults within Metroland’s circulation footprint across Ontario were surveyed online and by phone for the study, which was conducted from Nov. 24, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2016. The

St. Mark Catholic High School students learn a great deal about helping others and themselves when they take part in the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative Program. The program has been available for the past three years to the high school’s Grade 10 students. Called the YPI program the idea behind it is to engage students in social issues, local charities and grant making. These are all skills that a community leader will need as they nourish their community. The program provides $5,000 to groups of students who compete for the best presentation about their favourite charity. Their final presentation is judged and a winner is declared. This year there were several teams all competing for the YPI honours. YPI was founded by the Toskan Casale Foundation in
VALID FROM THURS
2002. The purpose of the program was to give young adults an opportunity to learn about and stand up for some of the most vulnerable members of their community. Grade 10 students who are interested in taking a project for the program are asked to pick from hundreds of charities who they have an interest in. “They pick a local charity, get in groups of 3 to 4 and create a team,” said Grade 10 teacher Mike Paron. “They pick something that pulls at their heart strings,” he said. “They are the future leaders of our community,” said Paron. The various teams then go out and meet with their selected charity. They find out all about it and how it works and what they can do to help it. Three Grade 10 students, Jessica Plourde, Emma Smit and Niamh Hanna were the winners of this year program for their presentation and
video about the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Two years ago the winners in the program presented Harvest House as their charity. Last year it was Do it For Daron. The $5,000 won by the team will be used for cancer coaching by the Regional Cancer Foundation. The team began their research in late February. “We picked the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation because each one of us has been touched by cancer,” said Hanna. She said her father was a cancer survivor and if her family had had some kind of cancer coaching while he was dealing with cancer it would have made things less difficult. “It will help families through a difficult time. We feel it would be helpful for everyone,” she said. “We did a slide show presentation that included a video of cancer survivors,”
explained Smit. They also had a slide show about cancer coaches working in Ottawa. Plourde said the program is for Grade 10 students and she she will not be able to do it again however she enjoyed it and learned a great deal. “I would love to do it again,” she said. ABOUT YPI
Over the past thirteen years, the Toskan Casale Foundation, together with The Wood Foundation in Scotland, and their generous funders on both sides of the Atlantic, have grown YPI into an international multiaward-winning social service program. The program has directed over $12 million in grants to charities across Canada, the United Kingdom and New York City, through the choices of over 400,000 informed and empowered secondary students.

After a wonderful four decades of business, Ovens Berry Farm would like to let the community and its many loyal customers know that it will be closing its gates following this summer’s berry season. Owners Ron and Maureen Ovens moved to Osgoode in 1975. They purchased their farm and planned for their future. “I drove a truck for the oil companies,” remembers Ron, “and Maureen looked after the farm. The berries at the time were a sideline,” he remembers. Maureen and Ron raised their family of three, two girls and a boy. Over time their business grew until they had dedicated twelve acres of their 46-acre farm to various berries including strawberries. Their farm is located three miles south of the village of Osgoode. By 1978, just a few years after the farm had started its berry operation, the volume of the berry harvest was large enough to warrant inviting the public to the farm to pick their own berries. It all started with strawberries, with the Ovens welcoming people to pick and harvest the brightest and plumpest berries around. It didn’t take long for the Ovens to grow their customer base – and more types of delicious produce that could be

Over the years, the local farmers added irresistible raspberries and Saskatoon berries, and even mouthwatering corn to their crops, with some of the family’s most coveted recipes available on their website at www. ovensberryfarm.com. Retiring the strawberry business will be a bittersweet moment for the Ovens. “I will miss the people,” said Maureen. She said it was time to stop working so hard. “It reaches the point when your body is telling you it cannot do it anymore,” she said. Producing a healthy crop of strawberries each and every year for 40 years is not easy. “It is very labour intensive,” said Maureen. To prepare for an early or surprise frost which can kill your crop of berries you have to be able check the temperature all night long through the
most vulnerable time for the young plants. Ovens Berry Farm often contributed resources to local churches, special events and non-profits such as the Osgoode Care Centre and Osgoode Youth Association. Visiting the Ovens became an annual summer tradition for families. While Ron and Maureen are excited for what the future holds for their family, they will also miss their friendly customers, and the community members that have enthusiastically supported us for 38 years. “We have made upgrades to our camper and plan to see Canada coast to coast,” said Ron. The couple have always had to take their holidays during the winter months. Several years ago the farm started to sell their various berries at different locations in the Osgoode and Kemptville area.

Special Hockey Heroes offers team atmosphere Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
When the Special Hockey Heroes take to the ice, they look every bit the part. They have matching tracksuits, hockey equipment – some custom made – and home and away jerseys. But beneath the jerseys and helmets, the squad isn’t your average hockey team. Most members of the Special Hockey Heroes had never played hockey before. And if a player on the opposing team falls mid-game, the players will stop and help their opponent up before continuing with the game. The Special Hockey Heroes is made up of special needs players who can’t play in a traditional hockey league. It’s one of three such programs in the city, one of which is for adult players, that accommodates players who can’t sign up for their neighbourhood minor hockey league. Players have a range of disabilities, ranging from Down syndrome to developmental disabilities to visual im-
pairment. The Special Hockey Heroes started during the 2015-16 hockey season, and is supported by the Ottawa Police Association (OPA), the police officers’ union. Two OPA employees, Matt Skof and Mike Lamothe, were approached by retired OPA employee Jeff Kelly to offer support for the team. It took about six months of planning before the league could start up, but come September 2015, there were enough registrations to host a draft day and begin Saturday hockey at the Minto Arena on Lancaster Road. “About 90 per cent had never played before,” said Metcalfe’s Lamothe, a coach for the team. The coaches were all recruited through the Ottawa Police, or via recommendation or referral from police officers who volunteer as coaches. While each player is required to have a parent or guardian present at all times, parents of the players take their seat
firmly in the stands, away from coaching. “The purpose for them is to be like every other hockey parent in the stands,” Lamothe said. Players have worked on their skating, scoring, and passing skills, but there’s also been something else that has developed throughout the season as the players have been transformed from kids who were used to sitting on the sidelines into a functioning team. “It’s about friendship, camaraderie,” said Skof, an Orléans resident. “These skills that are learned on the ice are an incredible aside to the hockey.” Lamothe said the change in certain players over the course of the season has been incredible. Players have gone from being shy wallflowers afraid to skate away from the boards to outgoing, social members of the team happy to high five teammates and tear up the dance floor at the team’s year-end banquet. “It’s unbelievable the change you see,”

Lamothe said. “The saddest day we had this year was the last day of hockey.” The players, who range from seven to 35 years old, each pay a $300 fee to play for the entire season, and sponsorships cover the rest of the costs. Players get home and away jerseys, and tournament entry fees. The team played exhibition games this past season against teams such as the Ottawa police women’s team, and a minor team
from West Carleton. The hope is to grow the program, and eventually expand to have 60 players. Skof, Kelly and Lamothe have been nominated for a contest called Search for Goodness, that seeks people who go above and beyond to improve their community. The winner of the Post Shreddies sponsored contest will win $10,000. Voting is open until July 31 and can be done online at SearchforGoodness.com.

Got Events?
D A E R P S E
It was as always, a great pleasure to join the 2951 Air Cadets for a formal Mess Dinner at CFS Leitrim. This was an All Mess Dinner and one that involved other troops to participate for the evening. The evening had much humour to it as they circulated notes to challenge other members to a song and dance which at times was quite funny! During the evening, there was celebration and also a time of reflection to remember the late Dan Mayer. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of the head table and offer a short speech. It was a privilege and I look forward to attending more events by this great group of youngsters and adults. Our open door this week was quite interesting! Mark Valiquette dropped with a dog tag he had found when cleaning out some old articles dated from the 1920ʼs and registered to Osgoode. It was in great shape and still very legible, so we contacted the Osgoode Museum so that he could donate it to them. Robin from the Museum was presented the dog tag during our Open Door. You never know what our Tuesdaysʼ will bring!

The Greely Lions Charity Golf Tournament took place at the Metcalfe Golf course with over 100 people out golfing! The funds raised through the golf and silent auction were donated to the Osgoode Care Centre. Great community work! The volunteers of Osgoode Care Centre were treated to the annual dinner to thank them for all that they do around the centre. The volunteers are what make the OCC such a great place to be with all the extra helping hands and personal interaction with the residents. Thank you to all the volunteers on the great jobs you do every day! The Live and Learn centre in Metcalfe hosted their annual Fun Day at the Metcalfe Town Hall. There was presence by the Police, Volunteer Fire Department, with an info booth on Parenting, drumming, face painting, bbq and so much more.

Be the bigger nation with many friends
W
ith Canada Day here, it’s worth reviewing all the reasons why we should be thankful. We’re at peace. We have order. And most Canadians – based on recent elections – would agree we have good government. We have been battered a bit by a drop in oil revenue, but Canada appears very capable of moving forward. We have a federal government that is making a growing middle class a priority. We have federal unity. The system works well. When one part of Canada sees good times, it shares the wealth with others. When one province is hurting, the others are there to help. In good times or in bad, it’s best to have many friends. Being part of something big helps smooth out the ups and down of an economy. Clearly we are better when we are part of something larger. Our forbearers figured that out in 1867. We’ve only added provinces since then; never subtracted.
We can today look across the Atlantic to see a United Kingdom that has voted to leave the European Union. That was a vote from the heart, not the brain. As a smaller economic block, the U.K. will enjoy good times and bad times, but the extremes will no longer be so smooth. There is already talk of further splintering; a possible referendum in Scotland, and a united Ireland – with Northern Ireland joining the Republic of Ireland – could mean the U.K. is just England and Wales. How long then until Wales wants to go it alone? From this side of the Atlantic, the division of Europe could spur some in Canada to think with their hearts too. But now is the time to sit back and watch what all this division will mean for newly created smaller economies that begin operating independently. We have been delivered an opportunity to watch the results of the experiment. We wish the U.K. the best of luck, but we remain here the bigger nation.
Enjoying the game without a soundtrack

here are signs that big-time baseball could happen again in Ottawa. And there are also signs that Ottawa is not quite ready for it. The turnout for the Father’s Day weekend games between the Ottawa Champions and the Cuban National Team was outstanding — more than 5,000 per game — bringing to mind the mid ’90s, when the Ottawa Lynx made the stadium on Coventry Road the place to be. The attendance even exceeded the last year’s big weekend when the Winnipeg Goldeyes were in town. The stadium was up to the challenge. Food lines were not too long, staff were friendly and helpful, alternative parking across the street helped ease the strain on RCGT Stadium’s shrunken lot. What doesn’t work, and needs
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
to be fixed if baseball is ever to become a major factor in Ottawa again, is the road system leading to the ballpark. The bridge over the Queensway at Riverside and the Vanier Parkway was horribly congested with cars converging from all directions. That needs to be fixed somehow. Yes, you could take the bus, but in order for that to happen, bus service has to be made more convenient for more people. Once inside, however, all troubles were forgotten. The weather was beautiful, which is all-important in this town. The fans could
choose between sun and shade. They liked the between-innings stunts. The scoreboard works. The announcing is bilingual. The umpiring was fine. After the Sunday game, kids were allowed to run the bases and fathers were allowed out on the field to play catch with their sons, daughters and grandchildren, a nice touch. And the quality of baseball continues to be excellent. Inning after inning, plays of major-league calibre were made and the fans appreciated it. Adding to the flavour of the game was a section along the right-field line full of Cuban fans with drums of all sorts and a solitary but spirited trombone. They brought a cheerful and rhythmic intensity to the proceedings. Unfortunately they were too often drowned out by loud outbursts,

musical and otherwise, from the stadium sound system. Which brings up a suggestion, one I’m sure I’m not the only one to make. How about a game with no artificial noise, no recorded music, no electronic prompts to fans to MAKE SOME NOISE. Then we could hear the game, listen to the players’ chatter, maybe even converse with our neighbours. Just try it once, see if people like it. Last summer, I had a chance to talk with the stadium organist at Fenway Park in Boston. I had noticed that the fans were never ordered to make noise and I asked about that. I was told it was a deliberate decision, when Fenway’s new scoreboard was installed, to avoid that sort of thing. Boston fans, the thinking went, were knowledgeable enough to know when to cheer. I would hope we are too, not just in baseball but in all sports. Many fans at Ottawa Senators EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: Joe Morin KPF NPSJO!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER: ,FMMZ ,FOU LLFOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN
games find the noise level annoying, not to mention difficult for small children. And they wonder why there is a need to pump artificial excitement into an already exciting event. Baseball, a reflective game with a lower adrenaline level than hockey, actually benefits from a sense of calm. How about it?

Greely songwriter Larry Pegg will donate 50 per cent of all proceeds from his song ‘Highway 63’ to the Red Cross’s mental health programs in Fort McMurray.
Greely musician’s Fort McMurray song ‘Highway 63’ supporting Red Cross Emma Jackson Metro
An Ottawa songwriter is hoping his Fort McMurray tune will support the Red Cross’s mental health programs as residents start to rebuild. No Fort McMurray resident will forget
their trip down Highway 63 as their town burned behind them, but now the disaster has been immortalized in song. Larry Pegg, a songwriter from Greely, said he wrote Highway 63 on May 8, just days after 88,000 people packed the road to escape the raging wildfire.

Sharing feelings about tragedy helps eveyone Continued from page 11
“I knew that when they got into their cars, they felt like they’d lost everything,” Pegg said. About 2,400 buildings were damaged or destroyed in the fire, including most of the communities of Abasand, Beacon Hill and Waterways. Like millions of fellow Canadians, Pegg watched the news footage with horror. “I just opened up emotionally, the words came
pouring out,” Pegg said. He’s no stranger to loss. His 20-year-old daughter died by suicide in 2007, and that has coloured his musical pursuits to use song as a uniting force. His debut album, The Theory of Positivity, included a song about suicide called Weight, and he donated its royalty proceeds to the Do It For Daron campaign at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. This time around, 50 per cent of all Highway 63 proceeds – whether it is down-
loaded off his website, streamed online or played on the radio – will go to the Red Cross’s mental health program to help Fort McMurray residents cope. Pegg said “a tsunami” of mental health concerns could follow the wildfire that uprooted so many. While the song is very clearly about Fort McMurray – referring to “roughnecks” building the northern “crazy town” and “ripping oil from the northern sands” – it’s also a touchstone for any city dealing
with tragedy, Pegg said. “Any town can be blazing with emotion at any time,” he said. He pointed, for example, to the weekend’s mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Pegg seems to have a knack for channelling tragedy into song. His first recording was inspired by the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, and he’s written about Pierre Trudeau’s death, the Arab Spring, and the Syrian war.
“I’m really drawn to these moments where large numbers of people are affected by a natural disaster or an injustice,” he said. “All of these public events make me feel like part of Canada, and part of the Citizen Humanity.” He encouraged Ottawa residents to download the song from lpgroove.ca – it’s pay what you can – or request it be played on a local radio station. Lead vocals are performed by Ottawa musician Jeff Rogers.

Travel the Rideau for an historic boat experience Looking for a memorable and unique vacation adventure? Look no further than The Rideau Canal. The Rideau Canal is a scenic, historic waterway that winds its way through eastern Ontario to connect the city of Kingston on Lake Ontario with Ottawa. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the canal was originally built by the British after the War of 1812 to provide a secure link between Montreal and Kingston. Colonel By of the Royal Engineers was in charge of the project and the town settled at the north end of the system was originally known as Bytown, now called Ottawa. With 47 locks in 25 separate lock stations, the 202 kilometer route is mostly natural river and lakes, with only about 19 kilometers manmade. Today it is a haven for water enthusiasts and boaters of all kinds. To see the Rideau Canal, you can either you can travel by boat in the canal itself, or you can drive alongside. Some people like to cycle this route.
SEEING THE RIDEAU FROM THE WATER If you have a boat capable of making the journey, you can go on an inland adventure, or go for a guided tour from any of the many operators along the route. The Canal LV JHQHUDOO\ RSHQ WR ERDW WUDIĆ&#x201C; F IURP May 20 to October 12. It can be covered in as little as three days by boat, but a more leisurely pace will allow you time to enjoy the many sights and interesting communities along the shoreline. Though some people do the entire Rideau, others travel just a section. With over 1,100 km of shoreline, there is plenty to capture your attention. For a successful boating excursion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always best to plan your route. There are lots of online resources to help you determine what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to bring and what you can get along the way. Start by determining how far you want to go. Make sure you build LQ WLPH WR VZLP Ć&#x201C; VK YLVLW VKRS DQG GLQH <RX ZLOO QHHG WR Ć&#x201C; QG D launching and exit locations to suit your journey, unless it will be round trip. There are guide books such as the
Rideau Boating and Road Guide and the Ports Guide to help with route planning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always wise to have nautical charts too, available for online ordering from Ontario Travel Guides. Get your charts at the start of your planning so you can become familiar with them before setting out. Remember to take your time and enjoy the ride. An average trip of Ć&#x201C; YH GD\V WR D ZHHN ZLOO JLYH \RX plenty of time to sightsee and relax. Travelling through a lock can take about 30 minutes if there is no lineup.
HOW TO GET THERE By water, enter the Rideau at Kingston Mills lock station (from the St. Lawrence/Lake Ontario) or enter at Ottawa from the Ottawa River. If trailering, there are a multitude of access points along the Rideau as well as marinas with ramp access.
SERVICES ALONG THE RIDEAU It is easy to provision from the many grocery stores along the route in waterway towns such as Seeleys Bay, Newboro, Westport, Portland, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Manotick. In addition to the grocery outlets and fuel depots, most marinas and a few of the lock stations supply ice. Fuel and pump outs are available from many marinas along the Rideau. Some offer gas and diesel. For those without an on-board head, all lock stations have public washrooms as do most of the marinas. Dockage between the marinas and the lock stations is available and can be pre-arranged. Camping is available at local campgrounds, including two Provincial Parks, or at most lock stations. Traveling The Rideau by water is memorable holiday adventure, no matter what kind of boat you use. The lovely scenery will enchant you while you explore the rich history of the waterway. Take time to photograph the abundant waterfowl and wildlife, stop for a refreshing swim, or enjoy a picnic at a lock station or mooring. To break up the journey, welcoming small towns such as Newboro, Portland, Westport or Merrickville are great for a shopping excursion
on shore. No matter how you do, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
forget time spent on The Rideau Canal.

40 Looks Really Good for Queensway Carleton Hospital The history of Queensway Carleton Hospital is intertwined with the history of Nepean – a township established in 1792. Along with the growth of the region, more people meant more accidents, disease and the need for established healthcare in the form of hospitals. Nepean residents who needed any type of medical attention headed “to town” to visit one of the hospitals, and even in the 1900s, were subjected to long waiting lists. All patients from Carleton County paid a non-resident fee to Ottawa for medical services rendered. It amounted to $1 per day for treatment. Rural doctors, barred from practicing in city hospitals, were moving into Ottawa where the medical profession offered brighter futures. More than one attempt was made to establish a hospital in the expanding Nepean Township. During the 1950s a group of prominent citizens, led by Dick Bell, sought support from Carleton County Council to construct a hospital. The request was denied by provincial government. In 1973, the planning group for the hospital started a petition to be signed by regional government officials. That step opened the door for a delegation, including Jean Pigott, MP for Ottawa-Carleton, Aubrey Moodie and Garry Cardiff, to meet face-to-face with Premier William Davis. At the end of the intense meeting, with Premier Davis’ words “…Jean, you never could take no for an answer…” the final go-ahead funding was granted.
Construction Site March 25, 1974
2016
In 1986, the addition of state-of-the-art diagnostic services ensured pr ured patients were provided the best available tools at QCH. 1989 marked a number of firsts as Dr. Adrien Bernard, a QCH Radiologist performed a new procedure which involved inserting a self-expanding stent into obstructed bile ducts, replacing the need for catheters and external draining tubes for the patient. It was a first in Canada. He would again in 1998, become the first Canadian Radiologist to perform a new radiology procedure that removes fibrous growths delaying or eliminating the need for a hysterectomy. Growth was finally recognized for QCH in 1997 with the province’s Health Services Restructuring Commission. QCH was mandated to change its program concentrations. With the closure of The Salvation Army Grace Hospital, QCH took on the low-risk maternal newborn program. In addition, CT Scan services were added to the list of the hospital’s growing diagnostic functions. By December 2002, the hospital received its first commitment from the province for much needed expansion to our facilities and the following are some of the many milestones QCH has enjoyed since: • June 2003 – Groundbreaking for new Emergency Department, ICU and inpatient beds. • September 2004 - QCH opened the new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) service.
After that hospital construction started in 1974, the need for community-based psychiatric healthcare was evidenced by long waiting lists at The Royal Ottawa Hospital. Queensway Carleton Hospital made its debut in the community by opening its first program, a store-front psychiatric out-patient clinic in Bells Corners in March 1974.
• January 2005 – new Emergency Department, ICU and medicine units open.
By late 1975, a Board of Directors had been formed with Aubrey Moodie as President and Chairman. The framework for the new organization was established with Garry Cardiff as the first Chief Executive Officer.
• February 2008 - Thanks to a $9 million gift from Dan Greenberg, the cancer centre was named the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre.
Early staff, referred to as “the hardhatters”, worked out of trailers and in a semi-finished building in the middle of a field. Staff hires were conducted by ushering candidates along unlit corridors with flashlights, dodging lumber and wiring and guiding the candidates across board walkways over muddy terrain – while wearing their hard hats at all times.
• January 2010 – The Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre opens.
On March 8, 1976, construction was near completion and QCH was set to welcome its first inpatient, 88-year-old Stella Monaghan, a long-time Nepean resident. Mrs. Monaghan led the way for a group of 12 geriatric patients admitted to the hospital’s fourth floor that day. Queensway Carleton Hospital was officially opened by Premier William Davis on October 5, 1976. The hospital was opened as a 240-bed facility built on its cornerstone programs: Emergency Services (designed to handle 30,000 patient visits annually); Medical and Surgical Services (supported by clinical specialties as well as diagnostic and therapeutic services); Mental Health Services and Geriatric Services. As QCH prepared for its 10 year anniversary, emergency visits hovered around 59,000, patients waited in areas such as emergency observation and day surgery recovery for inpatient admission, chronic care patients in acute care beds, and long waiting lists for clinics continued to stretch staff and physician resources. The hospital now had just over 900 staff, 200 physicians and more than 400 volunteers. The focus was on maintaining high quality patient care under extreme patient volumes.
nt at QCH n - First patie ha ag on M la 76 Stel March 10, 19
• March 2006 - the Ontario government announced plans for a satellite cancer centre. • November 2007 – Launch of Total Joint Assessment Clinic (TJAC).
• September 2012- James Beach Health Care Centre opens. The new 4 story tower include 10 new operating rooms, ambulatory care facilities, a rehabilitation centre, support services and a partnership with The Ottawa Hospital’s Nephrology Program to bring the dialysis service to west-end patients. The Shirley E. Greenberg Breast Imaging Suite also opens. • January 2014 – Premier Wynne announces approval for the Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit. • October 2016 – The Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit will open. The hospital was built thanks to the efforts of a community who believed the need for comprehensive, accessible healthcare was paramount to making the west end a success. Today, the 264-bed facility and its more than 1,900 employees, 300-plus physicians and 600-plus volunteers, have helped shape west Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley - and plan to carry on that tradition into the future. Queensway Carleton Hospital will continue to be a vital part p of this communityy and the region for the next 40 years and beyond.

Canada Day events for everyone around the area CANADA DAY IN OSGOODE
The Osgoode Village Community Association Canada Day Committee has been busy planning what it hopes will be another fantastic Canada Day celebration in Osgoode. There will be many activities for the entire family to enjoy, including a dog agility show, children’s activities, fireworks, and more! Come spend July 1st in the Village amongst your family, friends, and neighbours – why go anywhere else? •Free childrens activities 2:00 -5:00 p.m. • Parade at 5 p.m. The Canada Day Parade will depart from Osgoode Main Street at Nixon Drive. Floats, local groups, horses, and more! Children 8-12 years are encouraged to take part in the Foodland Bicycle Decorating Contest. Register at Foodland. Judging for great prizes will take place at St. Paul’s Anglican Church be-
tween 4:30-5:00 p.m. Floats should gather at the corner of Nixon and Main Street at 4:30 p.m.. • Amazing race 6 to 8 p.m. Sign up in pairs to compete in the “Amazing Race Osgoode”. Sign up throughout the day with official race beginning at 6:30 pm.

Harry with the Heaves held a special place in Mary’s heart
M
y brother Emerson said I wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to the farm animals. Except for the cows, which I wasn’t too fond of, I wanted all the others for pets. Emerson said if I had any brains, I would know that you didn’t raise livestock for pets. Eventually, they would go off to market, or end up in the smoke house! But I tended to put those thoughts out of my mind. Even after my pet black lamb ended up on the supper table one night, sending me into hysterics and turning me against lamb for the rest of my life, I still thought I could make pets out of the farm animals. Even though I wasn’t too fond of the cows, I loved the calves. It was no chore for me to feed a sickly calf from a bottle, until it was able to feed itself. Holding a screeching baby pig, with its soft body feeling like that of a real live baby, filled me with the utmost joy. And then there was poor old Harry with the Heaves. He was never called just plain Harry. It was Harry with the Heaves. Harry was a horse that had been around the farm long before I was born, and I loved him with a passion. Apart from the heaves, he had a sway where you could rest a couple bags of grain if you were so moved, and that was why he had the heaves, Father said. Harry with the Heaves was no longer able to do any farm work, and my sister Audrey said the only reason he was still kept around, was because Father knew how much I loved the poor old horse. He didn’t eat much, which maybe helped too. Harry with the Heaves
MARY COOK Memories didn’t move around like the other horses, preferring to stand at the fence behind the barn, resting his head on the rails. Every day I would put a halter on him, and walk him very slowly around the barnyard. We wouldn’t be gone a dozen steps, when the heaves would start. They seemed to come right from his hooves. And I would stop and let him heave away until the spasm passed, and then we would walk around another few steps, with his head getting lower and lower to the ground. The few times we hitched him to the buggy, it was like we were giving him a new lease on life. There were strict orders from Father not to run Harry with the Heaves ... just let him move at his own pace, which wasn’t very fast. But I could tell he loved pulling the buggy. And we would circle the barnyard a couple times, until he could no longer breathe easily. But it was enough to make the old horse feel he was needed, even if we really weren’t going anywhere. Other sickly animals would just disappear, and I knew perfectly well what their fate was. But Harry with the Heaves lived on, contributing nothing to the work load of the other horses, just living day by day with his condition getting worse right before my eyes. And then one day, when I came home from school, I
couldn’t see Harry with the Heaves anywhere. I thought he may have wandered into the field behind the barn, but no, he wasn’t there. I may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer, just like my brother Emerson said, but no one had to tell me that Harry with the Heaves wouldn’t be around any more. Nothing was said about his missing. Not a word from Father, the brothers ... no one said a word. He was just gone. And I knew, without anyone telling me, that my beloved horse was no more. Not a word was spoken about his end. It was as if Harry with the Heaves had never existed. A deep sadness came over me. My horse was gone. Like so many disappointments, and sad happenings on the farm, there was no discussion … no explanation. It was thought the less said the better. I cried for Harry with the Heaves only when I was alone. And I prayed wherever he had gone, he would be hale and hearty, running around with other horses, eating the finest hay and oats, his back in shape, and the heaves a thing of the past. To ease the pain in my heart, I had to believe it. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Chico was one-year-old in May of this year. He is a purebred Biewer Yorkshire Terrier. A handsome little fella!!! Chico is extremely rambunctious and spunky, he enjoys being chased as he is a master of eluding with his extreme speed. Chico also enjoys playing fetch but his ultimate favourite game to play is tug of war with his toys, growling like he’s a 300 lb. bear, but hardly scary. Chico will stare you down until his amazing eyes just compel you to play with him. He enjoys walks no matter what the weather, the first time he experienced snow, he seemed like a seasoned professional the way he vaults himself through the fresh snow or stealthy and fearlessly navigates his way on ice.
CHICO
I look forward to his greeting at the door every time we walk in, it’s like the first time he sees us. Guessing he probably loves his family very much as much as we love him. Life just wouldn’t be the same without my little buddy Chico keeping me company and cheering on the SENS!!!

Letting nature take its course
D
ear Dad. I was fine until I saw the meme that started, “Dear Dad.” It pictured an empty bench in a forest setting. It said, “My mind still talks to you. My heart still misses you. And I know in my soul you are at peace.” Then the floodgates opened. I cried for half an hour. This was our ninth Father’s Day without you. I like to think your energy lingers with us and in some ways your spirit remains. But that gives me mixed feelings because if you are still somehow aware of what we are thinking and doing here in life, then you are aware of the fact that I still break down at the sight of your face. I stare at the photo and I can hear your voice. Sometimes it is all a bit too much, so I pace myself. I allow one memory at a time. I will sit quietly, as in
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife meditation, and wait for a memory to come forward. Then I will enjoy it as a daydream. I can feel the sinewy muscles of your arm over my shoulder. I hear your teasing, gruff voice. I smell your after shave. I have many photos of you but your face is emblazoned on my brain so I don’t need to look at them often. I take some of them out and arrange them in the gathering room for Father’s Day. They prompt memories and conversations. It almost hurts to put them away again. To put you away. There is no way to get
over the grief of losing a loved one. You must let nature take its course. Time seems to numb the pain but it never really goes away and is easily revived. I don’t think you wanted us to cry for ten years after you died, however. I’m sorry. I’m trying. Most of the time, I remember you with laughter. I speak to you when I need reassurance or extra confidence, before a big meeting or presentation. It might be just that I am reassuring myself but I feel much calmer and stronger after those one-way conversations. Cathy and Mom make
a point of going to your favourite places on Father’s Day. They can’t get to some of those places by boat anymore, because we no longer have your boat. So they drive over, and then they hop the fence to the restricted zone. It’s all very espionage-like. They giggle and reminisce and enjoy your presence. I remember thinking I didn’t want to focus a day on trying to connect with your memory because it would just hurt too damn much. I said I didn’t want to join them when they first asked me, because I could just picture myself crying all day. But now I’m wondering if I’m ready. Maybe on the tenth year I will do more than just take out your photo. Maybe I will join Mom and Cathy at your favourite places. If you are aware of us still, I think it would make you happy to see us together for the sole
purpose of remembering you. Why else would we be on a snake-infested island with no boat?? We had twenty people for our Father’s Day dinner tonight. It was a raucous event. We watched the baby in the pool, splashing her own face and loving every minute of it. We mentioned your name and raised a glass to your memory. After dinner we watched the sun set over the field the Farmer just planted. He managed to cut himself on the only dangerous part of the seeding machine, but says he is bandaged up and ok to go away on his fishing trip tomorrow. Fishing and farming and my husband is a happy man. We planted the two middle fields Dad, because the cattle are rejecting the hay that comes off them and they need a replenishing. A fresh mix of clover and timothy and fescue.
Your family is doing well. Your grandson is an athlete and sometimes we see you in his moves. Your granddaughters are beautiful young women, inside and out. You would be so proud of them. Your greatgranddaughter flashes mea crooked smile I think you must have given her before she fell to earth. We miss you very much. And we are letting nature take its course. dianafisherbooks.com theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com The Accidental Farmwife book is available at Rooney Feeds, Grahame’s Bakery and the B&H Your Community Grocer as well as the Kemptville Farmer’s Market or you can order online at: www.dianafisherbooks.com

Compassionate Excellence Our 2015-2016 Report to the Community
This past year, we took some time to reflect on who we are and what we do. We wanted to put into words how we care for our patients and each other. And we didn’t do it alone. The process involved staff, physicians and volunteers, our Board, the Patient and Family Engagement Committee and the community at large. We’ve come up with three short statements that exemplify the spirit of WDMH. In this year’s Report to the Community, we are pleased to share them, as well as just a few of the accomplishments from the past year.
We’ve welcomed new staff, physicians, volunteers and students, including new family physicians, an obstetrician, new surgeons, a part-time internist, two family medicine residents, a new Chief Anesthetist, a new Chief of Staff and a new Chair of the WDMH Auxiliary. New programs include virtual mental health services via the Ontario Telemedicine Network and a satellite physiotherapy site in Embrun.
WDMH volunteers get to work. Whether it’s greeting visitors, making sales in the Gift Shoppe, doing office work or even hosting a plant sale to raise funds – they are here to help. Our volunteers truly make a difference and contributed more than 11,000 hours of service last year. But that’s not all. The Auxiliary recently fulfilled its commitment to raise $250,000 for a portable x-ray machine. Now they’ve announced a new $200,000 target for a general ultrasound machine.
AUXILIARY Why not join them? The need for more volunteers always exists. Visit www.wdmh.on.ca/volunteeratwdmh or call 613-774-2422 ext. 6323 to get involved.
The RIGHT TOOLS in the RIGHT HANDS New equipment that helps screen for cancer. Stretchers to transport patients. Blood pressure monitors that provide vital information. Training tools for staff. These are just some of the 17 new pieces of hospital equipment that the WDMH Foundation was able to purchase this past year, thanks to the generosity of donors throughout our region. And we can’t thank you enough.
We are leading the Upper Canada Health Link, caring for the most vulnerable patients in our region. We welcomed new health care partners in an expanded Community Care Building next door, offering more services close to home. A new flexible visiting policy allows families to be more involved in caring for their loved ones.
We pursue excellence in all we do. Our quality and safety accomplishments include continuing to prevent blood clots, reducing the number of cancelled surgeries and improving our work in caring for seniors. A quality review program is improving surgical outcomes and a new teaching program is helping patients with lung disease. Two of our diagnostic imaging programs recently achieved full accreditation. Our Breast Care Program was honoured with an award from the Regional Cancer Program. And our childbirth team is involved in a three-year development program to improve quality and safety. Our new website helps support patients and families coming to WDMH, providing important information before they arrive. We are fiscally responsible, maintaining a balanced budget despite a funding freeze.
Together, we are ensuring that health care is here for our families when they need it. To find out how you can help, please visit www.foundation.wdmh.on.ca or call 613-774-2422 ext. 6169.
BY THE NUMBERS At a Glance
We are one team. Our Patient and Family Engagement Committee continues to make a difference, providing the important patient’s voice in everything we do. We are teaching the next generation of health care workers. This past year, over 250 students came to WDMH to learn. We were proud to be honoured with another healthy workplace award.
Thank you to the more than 600 staff, physicians and volunteers who demonstrate compassionate excellence every day. And thank you to our local communities for your ongoing support of WDMH.
