Survey begins to map out Hospital Link landscaping plans Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

With maps in hand and city officials as their guides, Riverview Park residents got a first-hand glimpse of a construction site where a portion of their community is being transformed into the Hospital Link Road.

Located along the northern edge of CHEO, the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus and the Department of National Defence medical property east of Alta Vista Drive, the site

is still very much a work in progress.

Large swaths of bulldozed dirt give a rough outline of where the new twolane road will be located.

“I think the highlights were actually seeing firsthand where the road is and what the footprint is,” said Kris Nanda, president of the Riverview Park Community Association, who requested the community walkthrough. “I think it’s a really good first step.”

Investigators are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man suspected of inappropriately touching a woman in the Riverview Park neighbourhood.

The Ottawa police sexual assault section is investigating after “an unidentified male approached a female in her 20s in the Coronation Avenue and Chomley Crescent area and he inappropriately touched her,” police said in a statement issued May 4.

Police said the incident took place on April 13 at about 10 p.m.

The intersection of Coronation and Chomley is located just south of Industrial Avenue.

No further details about the incident were immediately available.

The suspect is described by police as a Middle Eastern male in his late 40s, who spoke English with an

accent. He is between five-feet-six and five-feet-eight, with a stocky build. He is bald, with big brown eyes and a chubby face. The suspect was wearing a large grey hooded sweatshirt and jeans at the time of the alleged incident.

Ottawa police are appealing for the public’s help in identifying a man wanted in connection with the sexual assault of a teenage girl.

“An unidentified male approached a female in her late teens and pulled her into his vehicle near the 2800-block of Baycrest Drive,” police said in a statement released less than 12 hours after investigators say the attack took place on Friday, May 6, between 1 and 3 a.m.

Baycrest Drive is located in the Herongate community.

“The female was driven to multiple locations in the Johnston and Conroy Road area, where she was sexually assaulted,” the statement reads. That crossroads, located about three kilometres from Herongate, is at the dividing line separating the Greenboro and Hunt Club Park communities.

No further details were immediately available.

Police describe the suspect as a Middle Eastern male, between 30

The city’s transportation committee set the wheels in motion on May 4 for a photo radar program that will enforce speed limits in some school zones.

The motion, originally the brainchild of River Coun.

Riley Brockington, will petition the province for the power to use photo radar and reduce the speed limit of some residential roads.

The motion gives ward councillors the option to request radar be used in specific neighbourhoods, and reduce the speed of residential roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40.

Just before the committee meeting, Mayor Jim Watson, who crafted the original motion with committee chair Coun. Keith Egli, sent out a memo in support of photo radar technology. The only caveat was that it be used in school zones and revenue collected through fines be put in a special account to be used for “road safety” measures.

“I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale roll-out of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,” Watson wrote in the memo. “Or for those who are concerned with the tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.”

CONTENTIOUS ISSUE

Brockington, who doesn’t sit on the transportation committee, said he realizes the issue is contentious, but wants the city to start cracking down on speeding.

“It’s about a basic right to safety,” he said. “I will force this city to have a conversation about speeding and what we are going to do about it.”

Chelsey Wynne, who spoke on behalf of the Blackburn Community Association, said her area fears for the safety of their kids, who attend schools off of busy Innes Road.

Wynne said many parents worry about kids walking to school, because of the high speeds of drivers.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said Wynne’s example just highlighted the problem.

“Parents don’t want their kids walking, so they drive them, creating this self-perpetuating cycle,” he said.

“We have to deal with the speeding if we are going to improve the situation.”

Many of those who spoke at the meeting felt the pilot program didn’t go far enough.

Michael Powell, from Safe Streets Ottawa, said using photo radar isn’t re-inventing the wheel, as other jurisdictions have already used the technology.

Powell said the intersection of Booth Street and Gladstone Drive has two schools, daycares and a church. Despite this, people are going significantly above the speed limit. A speed board installed in 2012 showed that 56 per cent of drivers went over the posted limit.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt expressed concern about signage and potential reallocation of police officers as a result of the technology.

“I wouldn’t want to see this take the place of officers on the roads,” Moffatt said, “because it’s about changing behaviours.”

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, applauded the decision. “I commend the City of Ottawa for taking the bold step today to help improve road safety in our community,” Naqvi stated in a release, adding he will advocate for the legislative changes necessary for the city’s pilot project.

A home in Ottawa’s Greenboro neighbourhood was hit by bullets overnight, but whether the residence or those inside were the intended target in the city’s 22nd shooting of 2016 is not yet known.

“It’s hard to say because we don’t know who the suspects are,” said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman.

“Several” casings were located after officers who were called to a home in the 0 to 100 block of Somero Private, located off Tapiola Crescent, around 1:15 a.m. on May 3.

An undisclosed number of rounds hit the home, and at least one penetrated the residence.

“But where in the home I don’t know,” said Soucy.

Despite this, no one was injured in the incident, he confirmed, adding he could not say how many people were at the home at the time.

Soucy characterized the shooting as a “close call.”

“Every time a bullet goes into a home or damages a home I would consider that a

The police guns and gangs unit is releasing few details about the crime, including how many shell casings were found at that scene or the calibre of bullets fired, though Soucy said they came from a handgun.

He also declined to reveal whether those living in the residence were the ones who reported the shooting incident to police.

Investigators are withholding some of the information they are looking into in order to protect the integrity of the investigation, which is still in the early stages, he said.

When asked if there are any surveillance or traffic cameras nearby that may have captured the shooting on film, Soucy said the guns and gangs unit is also not commenting on that because it is part of the investigation.

Police are now turning to the public in the hope someone has information that could move the case forward.

“We’re looking for witnesses, people who may have heard or seen something, to give us a call,” said Soucy.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the police guns and gangs unit at 613-2361222, ext. 5050, or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

St. Gemma School celebrates 50 years of learning, change ‘I couldn’t believe it was 50 years’: school’s first principal Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A lot can happen in 50 years.

The first principal of St. Gemma Catholic elementary school in Alta Vista couldn’t stop admiring the changes that have transformed the building over the past five decades.

“It was nice then and it’s nice now. It’s modern and well-kept,” Des Lalonde said, while sitting in the school’s front office at the start of an evening celebration on May 5.

The school’s 50th anniversary festivities drew more than two dozen current and former educators and staff, many of them who worked at the school when it was known as McMaster, named for the street it is on.

It underwent a name change last year.

In attending the event,

Lalonde, who is now in his early 80s, had an opportunity to meet Penny Zorn, who came on as St. Gemma’s principal last September.

Some of the changes to the school have been an overhauled backdoor entrance, which was finished last fall, as well as a redesign of the main office that was completed a year ago, said Zorn.

PLENTY OF CHANGES

The library has also been transformed into an open concept learning commons, she said.

“The principal’s office is where it is now and the nurse’s room was here,” Lalonde recalled looking around the main office.

“Did they have the portables when you here?” Zorn asked Lalonde.

“The third year we opened we had two portables,” he replied.

“They built a portapack and there are six classrooms,” Zorn told him.

While Lalonde can’t recall how many students the school began with, McMaster offered kindergarten to Grade 8. Today, St. Gemma has 252 students up to Grade 6.

Lalonde served four years as principal there before going on to work at the Ottawa Catholic School Board as superintendent of student services in 1970.

While he said he missed being a teacher and working in the education system after retiring in 1988, he said he is fulfilled with his volunteer work.

Three of his five children followed in his footsteps and went on to become teachers.

Two are still teaching and his eldest daughter is now a principal at a Smiths Falls ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND school.

St. Gemma Catholic Elementary School’s 50th anniversary party drew several current and Lalonde said when Mc- former educators to the Alta Vista on May 5, including current principal Penny Zorn and

the school’s original principal Des Lalonde.

Master opened in 1966, there were already five schools in the area – all of them filled to capacity due to growth in the surrounding residential neighbourhood.

“Here, it was wonderful.

The school was completed,” Lalonde recalled. “It was all ready for us, and we came

in a couple of weeks before it opened and registered the children.

“We were the second Catholic school to have a gym,” he said, adding that at other Catholic schools the students went outside for phys-ed or used empty classrooms.

Lalonde, who lived for many years in the neighbourhood and who now resides in Ottawa’s west end, said when he received his invitation to the anniversary party he was amazed at how quickly time had passed. “I couldn’t believe it was 50 years,” he said.

“It’s hard to believe.”

Leitrim Road expansion plan should be reworked: Beltzner Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan to widen and realign Leitrim Road from River Road to Bank Street should be reworked, said Manotick Village Community Association president Klaus Beltzner.

Beltzner made a presentation at the May 4 transportation committee meeting.

BALL ROLLING

The committee approved the statement of work that will get the ball rolling on an environmental assessment for the project.

The 2013 transportation master plan identifies the widening of Leitrim Road to four lanes, between River and Albion roads.

The staff report says despite the fact that the work isn’t on the city’s books until beyond 2031, developing in the area is encroaching on the city’s ultimate plan and a study is required to identify and protect the corridor for the future widening.

The Barrett Lands development proposals are underway for a residential community abutting Leitrim Road and south between Albion and Bank Street.

The study would identify and protect a corridor for the roadway, the report says.

Beltzner said there’s already enough pressure for River Road without widening Leitrim.

He also said a proposed bridge on Leitrim, as part of phase two of the Trillium Line

Scott Moffatt made a pitch for the widening of Earl Armstrong Road before Leitrim.

would have to be rebuilt if the road is realigned.

“It would have to be rebuilt, so it’s basically a throw away bridge,” he said.

Staff confirmed a new bridge would have to be constructed if the road is realigned, but said it would likely happen 10 years after LRT was in place.

Open your wallet: photo radar is coming

W

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Or for those who are concerned with the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A tip of the hat to servers

E

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

There inevitably follows a widespread discussion in the news media in which various people weigh in on the evils of tipping and why it should be abolished.

No one has made a convincing case yet.

Among the arguments you hear are these: • Tipping doesn’t happen in other jobs.

• Tipping doesn’t happen in many foreign countries.

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

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

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town costs.

• And maybe the owners get them.

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

Although some of the other arguments may have validity here and there, it is probably the last that means the most to people.

People don’t like having to tip, some of them for the reasons above, some of them because they’re just cheap.

But that’s not a valid reason to

abolish tipping.

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

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

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

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

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

So if we want to adopt the Eu-

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

Higher wages for servers probably means, and should mean, higher wages for other restaurant employees.

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

It would be good if they did.

Having to rely on tips is not a pleasant situation for people in the serving professions.

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

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

Maybe it will come. There are signs that it will. But it won’t happen tomorrow.

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

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

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

Living in the moment

W

hat day is it?” asked Winnie the Pooh.

“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh (A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh. ) When it comes to living in the moment, which is apparently the secret to happiness, I’m crap at it. I nostalgically live in the past one moment, and worrying look to the future the next.

Most mornings when I wake, I remember all the things I failed to accomplish yesterday toward next week’s goal. My husband frequently bemoans the fact that I’m already planning the next family meal, just as he’s “sitting down to enjoy this one.”

According to ancient Chinese philosopher LaoTzu, “If you are depressed you are living in the past.

If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse A single walk down the block with this kid requires a 30-minute round trip, and not because she’s shuffling her feet. are at peace you are living in the present.”

My loyal readers know I can’t meditate. But I have discovered a way to be more present. It comes in the form of my three-year-old daughter.

She wakes up nearly every morning with the same, happy call: “I’m awake!”

With those two words, she’s simultaneously announcing her presence to us and welcoming the day,

fresh and new. She’s not lamenting unfinished business from yesterday, nor fretting over what’s to come.

So present is she that “last year” and “yesterday” mean the same thing to her – her brain has matured just enough to let her know those words mean “already happened, so let’s move onto the now.”

If someone mentions an upcoming trip, she says, “Well, we’re not doing that

today” and she moves the conversation forward.

Once we were discussing a possible trip to visit family.

She overheard, packed a suitcase full of doll clothes and announced, “I’m ready!”

When we noted that it was a trip in the future, she turned to her brothers and said grumpily, “We’re not going to Scotland today; we’re just having dinner.”

The future made her unhappy. But the present keeps her pretty mellow.

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

But for my daughter, it’s a chance to savour each bite. It doesn’t matter if it’s instant oatmeal or French crepes, she yumming and oohing over every morsel.

A single walk down the block with this kid requires a 30-minute round trip, and not because she’s shuffling her feet. She wants to touch every plant, say hello to every neighbour. Trick or treating on Halloween required gargantuan effort on my part to pry her away

from the neighbours’ doors: “I like your costume,” she’d say. “And, by the way, how is your mother?”

Earlier this month, she paused to admire the field of blooming, yellow dandelions beside the rundown corner store. “Aren’t the flowers beautiful, Mommy?”

And she picks them, slowly and carefully, observing the bee on one, an ant on another.

She sees a man servicing a phone booth, and stops to observe the careful motions as he wipes graffiti from the glass, removes a coin box and polishes the phone receiver.

“He cleaned it! We can see inside now!” The man smiles. They’ve made a connection, in the moment.

And unlike me, the one who’s planning my next supper while eating this one (probably too quickly), my daughter has taken to saying grace and pausing before she eats.

Her prayer usually goes like this: “Dear God. Thank you for the nice food. Thank you for the

nice family. Please help us not to cry or fight and to sleep well. Amen. Let’s eat!”

Oh, the simplicity.

Of course, all this drives her brothers nuts. My sons, in all their preteen glory, no longer share the ability to “just be” like they used to. I wonder when they lost it. When did mornings become grumpy? When did a stroll in the park halt to satisfy their senses? I feel nostalgic for a time when they didn’t have bad memories from yesterday or worries about tomorrow.

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

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

I put away my phone, my thoughts, shut time out from my brain, and I find that I can, in fact, exist in the present.

And it is truly a wonderful feeling.

It’s probably as close to happiness – or as Lao-Tzu said “peace” – as one can get.

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

She said that when her kids were younger, she’d sometimes walk 35 minutes to pick them up to save money on bus fare.

Quesnel added that it can be a self-perpetuating cycle, be-

cause she would miss work because she couldn’t afford a bus pass and then she’d have less money on her next cheque.

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

Quesnel’s story isn’t unique.

A city staff report on a low-income bus pass suggests there

PRICE BREAK

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

The other option would be to be to offer a 62 per cent price break. That would bring the price down to $58.

It would cost $3.3 million, according to the report.

More than 40 social service agencies, including the Healthy Transportation Coalition and Making Voices Count, have expressed support for the initiative.

“It’s a step in the right direction.”

TREVOR HACHÉ, HEALTHY TRANSPORTATION COALITION

“It’s a step in the right direction,” said Trevor Haché, from the Healthy Transportation Coalition.

Haché said if the city wants to encourage the public to use transit – as it suggests in the 2013 transportation master plan – they have to work on making access equitable.

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

Commission chair Coun.

Stephen Blais said during the commission’s budget meeting that eliminating the top-up is a priority.

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

The petition can be found at http://healthytransportationcoalition.nationbuilder. com/transit_pass_petition.

‘Unpredictable’ offender on the loose Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Just as the OPP recently apprehended a paroled offender who went on the lam, another man known to frequent Ottawa is now on the loose.

Jeffery Daniel Iahtail is wanted on a Canada-wide arrest warrant by the OPP’s Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad after he failed

JEFFERY DANIEL IAHTAIL

to show up at his Kingston halfway house on May 7.

The 39-year-old is serving a four-year sentence for criminal harassment and disobeying a court order. He was paroled in 2013 and at one point was sent to the Keele Community Correctional Centre in Toronto and then breached parole conditions this past February.

He was then sent to the Joyceville Institution north of

Kingston, followed by a stint at a regional treatment centre, before being assigned to stay at a Kingston halfway house in late April. “And then on Saturday (May 7) he left the halfway house without permission,� said Det.Const. Steve Sermet with the ROPE Squad, adding the parolee has a history of breaching conditions.

unit descended upon Kinston but have yet to find Iahtail.

Iahtail has no known connections in Kingston and it’s possibly he may have left town, though Sermet said he would likely have had to hitchhike his way out. “He has zero cash,� the detective said.

Originally from Attawapiskat in northern Ontario, Iahtail is also known to frequent Ottawa and has connections to Barrie, Sudbury and Toronto where he has been arrested in the past.

Sermet said he and his team intend to follow up more with Iahtail’s family. “Apparently they are aware that he went unlawfully at large,� he said.

Now police are appealing to the public in the hope they know where Iahtail is, but say he should not be approached. “He has unpredictable behaviour,� Sermet cautioned. “He has a violent history.�

Iahtail is described by police as an aboriginal male, five-feetfive and 185 pounds, with brown eyes and very short brown hair.

He has a skull tattoo on his right forearm and scars on his left cheek and his left forearm.

Anyone who has information about Iahtail or his whereabouts is asked to call the ROPE Squad at 1-866-870-7673, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or 911.

Police don’t know whether he has left Ottawa. Sermet said Elfarou’s wife is co-operating with investigators and that she doesn’t know why he didn’t return home. “We’re hoping he’s still in the area, but we have no confirmation that he is or that he’s not,� Sermet said, adding that Elfarou has associates and contacts in both Ottawa and Gatineau.

The parolee is described as an Arab male, 36 years old, fivefeet-11 and 221 pounds. He has several tattoos: • forearm tattoos with the words ‘Only Allah Can Judge,’ • forearm tattoo of a map of Lebanon, • right upper arm tattoo depicting the word ‘Ziad,’ • right upper arm tattoo with the words ‘Lebanese Army Code’ Anyone who knows Elfarou’s whereabouts is asked to call 911, the ROPE Squad at 1-866870-7673, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“We’re trying to put a positive spin on it,’ president says Continued from page 1

There is still a lot to do before the road will open to traffic in December 2017 – an overpass at Riverside Drive and a VIA Rail bypass are not yet finished.

And work has not begun on the three-way stop that will connect the new road to the Ring Road at the hospital complex.

That intersection will mean the demise of the community’s popular toboggan hill.

But during the May 2 walkthrough, about 25 residents surveyed a proposed site for a new sliding hill close to the opening in the hydro corridor fence southwest of Riverview Alternative School, located on Knox Avenue.

“The road’s going ahead.

It’s happening and I wish it wasn’t, but we’re trying to put a positive spin on it and being realistic,” Nanda said.

He said it’s beneficial that the community pro-

“The only thing we have now are two berms down

by Alta Vista (Drive),” said city engineer Bruce Kenny, who is managing the Hospital Link construction proj-

ect.

“But that doesn’t preclude us from putting in more berms along here,” he added, motioning to a spot directly north of the

National Defence medical property at the west end of the hospital complex.

All landscaping will be done in 2018.

“I think it’s good that we’re doing this earlier before the designs are finalized,” said Nanda. “My hope is that the final product will be better because people have had a chance to (provide) input early on so that the initial design that they actually see … will reflect some of the comments that came out tonight and it’s not just a fait d’accompli.”

Residents also heard during the tour about the potential to link a pathway from Riverview Park homes to the residential tower on Roger Guindon Avenue east of the medical complex, and possibly having a path run along the Ring Road on hospital property.

The $69.7-million Hospital Link, which is being paid for by development charges, is being built to alleviate traffic on Alta Vista

Drive and Smyth Road. It is meant to serve as a backdoor route into the medical complex for staff, visitors, students and volunteers coming from outside the neighbourhood.

The Link is also viewed as the first stage of the controversial four-lane Alta Vista Transportation Corridor that is pegged to run from Nicholas Road at Highway 417 to Conroy at Walkley.

“We understand that this road is not overly popular with the community and the four lanes absolutely is not, but we would ... if there were berms going in, look at where the future four lanes would go so that we don’t start from scratch and we have a mature feature here, not just the berm itself,” Kenny said of the landscape design.

The landscaping contract was separated from the road construction contract to give residents a chance to provide feedback.

“I like the fact we’re doing it as a separate contract from the roads contract because it gives us more control,” said Martha Lush, a senior landscape architect with CSW Landscape Architects, which is tasked with the design work.

The project design has evolved and that means there is now more space for berms.

“Because the road has changed since we started the landscape design – the stormwater ponds have disappeared, the (road) alignment toward the hospital has changed – we have a great opportunity to take your comments and your preferences and see how we can integrate them into the

overall corridor,” Lush said.

“We are not planning to just walk away and leaving it like this.”

A variety of new trees will be planted and wildflower meadows may also be a good fit.

As part of Ottawa 2017 celebrations, every ward in the city will receive 150 silver, red and sugar maples. And these could be an option for the site, said Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, who took part in the tour, as did Capital Coun. David Chernushenko.

NEXT STEPS

The community’s landscaping wishlist is now being sought before a meeting

is held, possibly in mid-June.

Kenny said another walkthrough may be an option.

“As part of this consult process we’ll talk about the pedestrian and cycling connectivity,” he said.

The project team will also need to know the community’s preferences for the size of noise-mitigating berms that will be built.

“We want to make sure we leave enough soil on site so that we’re not actually going and buying soil from somewhere else after we’ve taken 30,000 cubic meters away,” Kenny said.

The landscaping plans will be presented to residents before they are finalized, said Lush.

Work to begin at Mooney’s Bay Park ahead of fitness park overhaul, new play structure Erin McCracken

EMMA GARDNER/METROLAND

Changes are coming to the north end of Mooney’s Bay Park, starting with the removal and relocation of several trees in the coming days. The changes to the treed layout is one of the first steps that will be done ahead of the removal of three closed-off bridges and the replacement and possible relocation of the aging Sue Holloway fitness park. that is expected to start immediately.

They’re going to prep the site for this new playground,” Brockington confirmed to Metroland Media.

The city is working with various festival organizers, such as the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, which will be held at

R0012370576

City workers will soon be removing trees and shrubs at the north end of the beach at Mooney’s Bay Park, clearing the way for some major changes, including the construction of a brand new play structure.

In a memo sent to residents May 9, River Coun. Riley Brockington said the city has been given the green light to take out 16 trees. All of them will be replaced and five existing trees will be relocated — all at the north end.

The city is also planning to remove three cordoned-off footbridges this spring from the same area as well as take out the existing Sue Holloway Park, an outdoor fitness area that will be rebuilt next year.

The exercise area, which has chinup bars and other activity stations, is a popular feature in the warmer months.

But it is aging, and Brockington has said it needs to be reconstructed and possibly expanded.

“The fitness park has reached the end of its life and will be replaced in 2017 with a new facility,” he wrote in the memo.

“The city will be consulting with user groups and the community on future plans, including a potential move to a new location in the park.”

The north end of the park will also be getting a new play structure, the details of which will be disclosed in the coming days, the councillor said.

“They’re prepping the site for work

the park in June, to ensure that there will be minimal disruption to participants as work begins, the councillor said in the memo.

Construction of the new play structure at the north end is scheduled to get underway in early July.

Mental health wait times going under the knife at CHEO, Royal New model puts patients at the heart of care decision making: director Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The roll-out of a new blueprint for change, now underway at CHEO, is designed to whittle the time children and youth spend languishing on a wait list for mental-health care in Ottawa from several months down to one.

Staff training in the delivery of a new service model of care, known as the Choice and Partnership Approach or CAPA, was one of the first major steps implemented at the children’s hospital earlier this year.

Next up was a wait list blitz in February that allowed staff to identify which of the 340 kids sitting on a wait list after being referred to CHEO’s centralized referral intake system

still needed care.

“That’s why the line keeps growing because no one is assessing what the family and the child actually needs and then streamlining them to where they need to go,” said Kathleen Pajer, chief of psychiatry at CHEO. CAPA is changing that.

STARTED IN THE UK

Under the model, which originated in the United Kingdom and is now in use across Nova Scotia, patient needs are better identified and matched with the right outpatient service. Before the blitz, kids were waiting nine months to a year for their first outpatient appointment.

Alex Munter, CHEO’s president, left, and George Weber, president of the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, look on last fall as Dr. Kathleen Pajer, CHEO’s chief of psychiatry, discusses mental-health care needs among young patients in the region. Both hospitals are adopting a new system of care to improve patient access and reduce wait times.

Funding to our health care system will increase by over $1 billion this year.

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means: • 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

Over the next three years, the goal is for patients to wait no longer than four weeks for a choice appointment, during which they work with a clinician to problem-solve the issue impacting them most rather than focus on the diagnosis and spend hours being formally assessed.

Perhaps a prescribed medication could be tweaked, a community agency could be suggested, maybe parenting courses would also help, and, based on the child’s need, another type of medical specialist at CHEO could be recommended for a few sessions.

It’s designed to give patients and families more of a say, develop goals and help design the right course of action through a multifaceted tailored approach.

“Their engagement is critical in this,” Pajer said of the new collaborative partnership.

“It puts them at the heart of what we’re doing for them rather than us dictating to them what they need,” said Christine Slepanki, the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s director of patient care for the Youth Psychiatry Program and the adult Mood and Anxiety Program.

Faced with a growing wait list over the past few years, the Royal fully rolled out CAPA in late March in its program for teens ages 15-and-a-half to 18.

Previously, a referred patient would wait for an appointment with a psychiatrist during which the patient would be assessed and services suggested.

In January alone there were between 80 to 100 teens facing a wait of three to five months for an as-

sessment appointment.

Similar to CHEO, Royal patients under the CAPA model are now being seen by a clinician and asked what issues they want to work on.

“It’s a very strength-based, recovery-focused model,” Slepanki said. “Rather than coming in to see an expert who’s going to tell you what you need, it’s more like you come in and tell us what you need and we will facilitate you to meet your goals.”

The Royal has a similar goal of reducing the wait for a first appointment to no more than four weeks.

AVAILABLE SERVICES

Patients will see a psychiatrist and be offered various services, such as individual or group therapy.

“It’s kind of the difference between going to a department store where it’s one-stop shopping and having to go from one end of town to another to go to multiple stores, each of which specializes in one thing,” Pajer said.

A key component to CAPA is mapping out the available mental health-care services and matching them to the right patients based on their needs in order to provide more individualized and responsive care.

“That’s the brilliance of CAPA,” Pajer said. “That means we’re agile, we’re an agile mental health-care system.

“We’re not just just stuck in ‘we’ve always provided this so we’ll keep continuing to provide it.’”

If together during the choice appointment patients and their

families decide upon treatment at CHEO or the Royal the goal is for them to wait no longer than four weeks for the next more in-depth appointment, known as a partnership appointment. That’s when the treatment approach begins in earnest.

The Royal isn’t stopping with its Youth Psychiatry Program.

The hospital also recently began putting CAPA to work in its adult mental-health outpatient service in the mood and anxiety disorders program, where a range of conditions such as long-term depression and bipolar disorder are treated.

The hospital just started wading through its adult wait list, which currently has more than 500 people. The goal is to provide them with choice appointments to best determine their goals and needs.

“We get almost 80 to 100 referrals a month,” Slepanki said, adding the average wait time for an initial appointment is eight months to a year “which is not OK.” The goal is to shrink wait times for initial appointments to no more than four weeks, similar to CHEO. Imagine the progress a systemwide CAPA strategy could have in improving the health of patients and the greater population, one in which health-care providers across the region use the same choice and partnership approach to improve access. “It would be revolutionary,” said Pajer. “I have families all the time who, when we first talk to them, they’re on five waiting lists (in the region) just trying to get help.

“It’s very sad and it really makes us motivated to make this system better.”

Airport lands ‘steady growth’ in passengers, revenues Currency exchange hurt travel to U.S.: airport president

“We’ve had more growth in domestic than in international.

The currency exchange changes the flow.”

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

MARK LAROCHE, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY

Things are looking up at Ottawa’s airport.

The number of travellers flying in and out of the Ottawa International Airport went up last year, as did revenues for the non-profit airport authority.

Numbers released during the authority’s annual public meeting on May 4 reveal the airport saw 4.65 million passengers in 2015, up 0.86 per cent over 2014.

Most – 3.5 million – were travelling within Canada, representing a 1.6 per cent increase over 2014.

“We’ve had more growth in domestic than in international. The currency exchange changes the flow,” said Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the airport authority. “It hurt. Initially the hurt was for people going south to the States.

“That’s stabilizing, but also the American airlines coming to Canada, they’re not seeing as much pickup. So there’s an adjustment going on.”

The airport also saw more than 735,000 trans-border passengers last year.

“When that goes down, the domestic numbers go up. So that means they’re hubbing – going to Montreal and Toronto,” Laroche said.

The airport also saw 431,000 in-

the gradual increase in airport activity to continue beyond 2017.

“We may get three per cent next year,” Laroche said of the airport, “but it’s not going to be something huge.”

There are also other plans afoot at the airport designed to generate higher passenger volumes.

“We’re working on looking to see if we can get a new route, but it’s too soon to say,” Laroche said, refferring to destinations that can be reached non-stop from Ottawa.

Domestic travel is well-served, and flights out of the Ottawa airport are landing in every provincial capital in Canada, he said, adding the authority is eyeing the addition of an international route or one that is trans-border, which would serve travellers heading to the U.S. Air travel numbers, which typically climb in the summer, will be a selling feature, as well as the fact that Ottawa’s high-tech business sector is looking for direct travel, Laroche said.

“We have to have that sustainability and the airline has to be convinced that aircraft is going to be 75 per cent full,” he added.

Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, says passenger volumes and revenues are expected to stabilize after suffering a decline in recent years due to a drop in economic activity in the region. ternational passengers in 2015.

Overall, last year’s numbers paint a picture of “steady growth,” but Canada’s birthday celebrations in the capital next year will likely give those figures a boost, said Laroche.

“There’s a projection I think of an increase of 1.6 million tourists, but they’re not all coming by air travel. But there’s going to be an

impact for sure.”

The authority also tallied some positive financial news.

Revenues in 2015 were 5.3 per cent higher at $118.2 million compared to $112.2 million generated in 2014. Much of that was due to raising the airport improvement fee from $20 to $23 (the fee collected from each departing passenger), as well as higher passenger volumes.

The numbers are reflective of the region’s economic activity, said Laroche.

Passenger numbers and revenues took a tumble in Ottawa in 2013, largely due to federal job cuts in the region and a resulting decline in economic activity.

Typical annual growth for the airport is usually between two and three per cent, and Laroche expects

Cautious approach being taken for ‘limited expansion’ at Ottawa’s airport: Laroche Continued from page 25

A “limited expansion” is also in the works, which may result in the addition of one or two gates, expanding the passenger screening area or changes to the check-in areas, Laroche said. The bulk of the work won’t begin until at least 2018.

The authority will be cautious in its expansion plans.

“It’s not ‘build it and they will come,’” he said. “Build it when they are there. We don’t want to grow to grow, because it won’t be sustainable.”

While the authority has been advocating that a lightrail spur be built to the airport as part of the expansion of the southbound Trillium LRT line, Laroche said it wouldn’t generate revenue for the airport.

“If more people come to Ottawa, that would increase our growth, our revenues, but it will increase our expenses,” he said. “What it does is, it brings activity.”

That’s why the provincial and federal governments need to step up and pay for the spur as part of the sec-

“They may go to another airport (such as Montreal).”

Both the parkway’s fourlane widening and the airport LRT connector are essential, and not just for the health of the airport.

“I always worry about the connection to the downtown,” Laroche said. “It’s not critical for the airport.

Its critical for Ottawa.”

“(I)f it takes 40 minutes to get from downtown to here, well that’s a disincentive to use flying. They may go to another airport (such as Montreal).”

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

The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the EA process. The Updated Serviceability Report is prepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing that integrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA. To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open house will address: • • •

The addition of the 87.2 hectares of developable area to the analysis contained in the 2007 Final Serviceability Report, including a review of the impacts of the OPA 76 expansion lands on existing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements to service the expansion lands Recommendations on the overall LDA infrastructure system, including upgrades required to meet the City of Ottawa’s level of service requirements for build-out of future development within the LDA

By participating at this meeting, you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

Information on the Updated Serviceability Report for the LDA is available on ottawa.ca/publicconsultations.

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

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please email joseph.zagorski@ottawa.ca no later than May 20.

City’s newest millionaire bought winning ticket in Billings Bridge Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland

It was the phone call that hinted to Violet Jackson she’d likely won more than she initially thought.

The Ottawa resident scratched an Instant Extreme Millions ticket just after purchasing it at the International News store at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre, the Ontario Lottery

and Gaming Corporation announced May 3.

“At first glance I thought I won $1,000,” Jackson said while picking up her winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto on May 2.

ONTARIO LOTTERY GAMING CORPORATION/SUBMITTED

Ottawa resident Violet Jackson is the city’s newest millionaire. She won $1 million after scratching an instant win ticket she purchased at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

“When the retailer validated my ticket and OLG called the store to speak with me, I knew it was a bigger prize.”

It turns out there was an extra zero on her ticket that she didn’t notice. And gaming officials told her she had, in fact, won the top prize of $1 million.

“Winning the lottery feels

surreal,” she said. “I never thought I would be coming to the prize centre to collect a big prize.”

Jackson has already dreamed up several ideas on how to spend her winnings, including giving monetary gifts to her children and investing some of the winnings.

“I would also like to take my family on a trip to a warm destination,” she said.

The scratch ticket Jackson won with is a $20 instant game that features 25 top prizes of $1 million.

The odds of winning a cash prize with the scratch ticket Jackson bought are one-in-three.

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

Description of Property Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue is a one-and-one-half-storey stone house constructed between 1840 and 1850 in City View in former Nepean Township.

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

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

Kilmorie has design value as an example of the vernacular stone buildings constructed in the classical tradition in the Ottawa area in the early-to-mid 19th century. Exemplifying its type, Kilmorie is constructed of limestone, has a gable roof with returned eaves and symmetrical facades.

The front facade is highlighted by a tripartite window with decorative fanlight in the central gable.

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

Sliders offer new twist on the grill German Bratwurst sausage inspired sliders with crunchy asparagus bits and gooey melted cheese are colourful, delicious and sure to be a hit at your next barbecue.

Try different types of Ontario cheese.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 5 minutes Grilling Time: 13 minutes Serves: 12 INGREDIENTS

• 24 stalks Ontario Asparagus, trimmed • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 1 lb (500 g) each lean ground pork and lean ground beef • 1 egg • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry breadcrumbs • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt, ground nutmeg, paprika and dry mustard • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each pepper,

celery seeds and ground coriander • 6 slices Swiss cheese, halved • 12 small burger buns PREPARATION

Remove top two-inches (10 cm) of each asparagus spear, place asparagus tips in grill basket; set aside.

Finely chop half of the remaining asparagus stalks (reserve the remaining for another use). In medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, add onion and cook until softened, about three minutes. Add chopped asparagus and cook until asparagus is bright green and softened, about two minutes.

Let cool slightly.

In large bowl, combine pork, beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, nutmeg, paprika, dry mustard, pepper, celery seeds, coriander, and cooled asparagus mixture.

Form 1/3 cup (75 mL) mixture into small burger; repeat with remaining meat mixture.

Place grill basket on grill over medium heat. Grill asparagus two to three minutes, tossing frequently.

Remove and set aside.

Place burgers on greased grill over medium heat. Grill until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about five minutes per side. Top each burger with half slice of cheese. Close lid to melt cheese slightly.

To serve, place two asparagus tips on each cheese covered burger.

Serve on buns with a variety of mustards and sauerkraut.

Hotel Communication Network snags major U.S. hotel business Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Need a wake-up call? How about room service? Want to know how to get to the pool?

For guests staying in a number of San Francisco and Chicago hotels, those services and more are available right at their fingertips thanks to Canadian-developed tablet technology.

An Ottawa company has become an instrumental innovator for some of America’s largest hotels by developing and providing in-room tablets, giving guests access to a full array of services.

“It literally changes the way they (hotels) do business,” said Barry Brisco, chief operating officer and a founding partner of the Hotel Communication Network, located on 2460 Lancaster Rd. near the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

The success of the company, which launched in 2009, can, in part, be credited to a $525,000 loan

it has been receiving from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario or FedDev Ontario.

The funds, which began rolling out in April 2014, have aided in the creation of 20 full-time jobs, have helped maintain 16 jobs, and have allowed the company to raise more capital to the tune of more than $4 million from other Canadian investors since 2014.

“That comes from the success of this project and the confidence that comes from government support,” said Brisco.

Providing companies with financial assistance also allows them to better access global markets, said Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, who announced the funding on May 5 on behalf of Navdeep Bains, minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and minister responsible for FedDev Ontario.

Bains previously said he wants Canada to become “a nation of innovation,” McGuinty said.

“We know that innovation is

what helps create good quality jobs, a stronger economy for all Canadians and prosperity for Canadian families.”

The dollars have allowed the company to hire enough staff to grow its hotel tablet network project.

“It brought us to the point where we have world-class hotels, some of the biggest hotels in the world coming to us asking us to install (in) their properties,” Brisco said.

The company’s tablets are now installed in a number of large hotels, including the 1,650-room Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, the 1,900-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel and the 1,500-room San Francisco Marriott Marquis.

Another 6,000 tablets are in transit and will soon be installed in more hotels.

“We will literally double our install base in the next three months and we’ll double again in the next six months,” said Brisco.

NOTICE OF PASSING OF ZONING BY-LAWS BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA

Barry Brisco, president of the Hotel Co m m u n i c a t i o n Network, holds a tablet the company has programmed that is now offered in every room at several large-scale U.S. hotels. The tablet technology gives guests access to a full range of services available at the hotel and in the city, from wake-up calls to room service.

The Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-laws 2016-131, 2016-132, 2016-133, 2016-134, 2016-135 and 2016-136 on April 27, 2016, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. Any person or public body who, before the by-laws were passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to either of the six by-laws, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the by-laws and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 1, 2016.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board.

A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-laws were passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Should the by-laws be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the planner identified below.

An explanation of the purpose and effect of the six by-laws and a description of the lands to which each by-law applies are included.

Dated at the City of Ottawa on May 12, 2016.

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

B

riscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County.

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

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

And inside was my very favourite food in all the world.

It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds.

It was a big fat roll of bo-

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories

Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. logna ... of course, we simply called it balony back then.

I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.

Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought what was on her list, she would

say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony, too.”

He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it

into one long piece, and devour it right on the spot.

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

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

Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No

child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion.

They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages. No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home ... without Mother seeing of course.

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

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

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

Pet Adoptions

PALADEN

This is Paladen.

He is from the SPCA of Ottawa. He is the sweetest cat and the most loving.

He does like to scream at times and poke me with his claws when he wants something. He is so good with my other cats and dog.

Meet Ariel (ID# A187509), a sweet and loving cat looking for her purr-fect match.

Ariel is a gentle girl looking for a relaxing new home. She can be a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she’ll gladly climb up on to your lap for cuddles.

Ariel would prefer a quiet home where she’ll have lots of time to explore and get comfortable. Could this delightful girl be your new best friend?

For more information on Ariel and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

May is Chip Your Pet Month Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. May is Chip Your Pet Month - a perfect time to get a microchip for your furry companion.

A microchip provides a permanent means of pet

identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics.

Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.

Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately,

ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics with our next clinic coming up on May 14.

The cost is $50 - a small price to pay for a lifetime of security.

For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:
