Montessori high on the move Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Burgers sizzle and salad is tossed as teens prepare lunch for themselves and their classmates at The Element, a Montessori high school in Riverview Park.

In the same classroom, their peers one table over assemble pumpkin pies for a micro-economics class. Four teenage girls sit together on a

couch as they work on a variety of assignments – French poetry and science.

The Element is not your typical high school.

And come September, the Grade 7, 8 and 9 students – and, for the first time, Grade 10 students – will be relocated to Lansdowne Park, where their new school is currently under construction.

See Grade 10, page 17

A severed gas line Tuesday morning prompted the precautionary evacuation of “a few” homes on Vancouver Avenue in the LedburyBanff neighbourhood.

“Road crews working in the area cut a two-inch (five-centimetre) gas line,” said Capt. Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire department spokesman.

Ottawa firefighters and police were called to 1279 Vancouver Ave, near Bank Street and Walkley Road, on May 19 at 8:21 a.m.

Emergency responders secured the area and assessed the situation

neigbourhood, but not a significant amount of gas was leaking from the ruptured line, he said.

Enbridge employees shut off the gas at 9:17 a.m. and residents were allowed back in their homes at 9:22 a.m.

No one was injured in the incident.

“That was way to easy!”

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Neighbours come together The second-annual Neighbourhood Garage Sale in South Keys and Greenboro was a popular destination for people looking for deals on May 16. In addition to several garage sales at homes in the community, there were sale tables, a barbecue and other family friendly festivities hosted by the South Keys Greenboro Community Association at the Greenboro Pavilion on Tapiola Crescent. The event generated more than $400 dollars for the Pavilion Food Bank, and Southbank Dodge plans to match that. An e-waste recycling event also raised funds for the food bank.

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2015 It’s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil.

Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essential to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not infinite.

A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over time your soil can become nutrient deficient, compacted or thin which can make it difficult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, PH balanced and has excellent tilth, allowing for easy air and water flow.

Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plants’ roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients.

How can you take a tired, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic matter. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with existing soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal time to introduce organic matter into your growing areas is in the Fall. This allows the beneficial microorganisms in your soil more time to become active before gardening season arrives. Not to worry though!

Even if you missed the window last fall, you can still get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real difference in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderley’s Premium Garden Soil – which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Manderley’s soil mix is a 100% natural product consisting of black earth, organic fertilizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial activity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes particles of different sizes and shapes. This results in improved airflow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compaction. The organic-based soil will also provide excellent water retention; something your plants’ roots will really appreciate.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6” soil depth (pro tip – top off your growing areas with 2” of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.).

Step two - go get your soil, or better yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle.

Step three - till or turn over the existing soil in your growing areas.

Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. It’s that easy.

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the first step in reaching your garden goals for 2015. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, you’ll be amazed at the difference.

Strike action to begin at area high schools

What did you do on your summer vacation?

Give your kids a summer to remember by registering them in a City of Ottawa summer camp. They will create memories to last a lifetime, make new friends, and maybe even discover their future life direction.

Sing-along’s, messy crafts, dress up, tag and kick the ball – are better with friends. Our camp activities are age appropriate, theme based and offer lots of variety from active sports to quiet time, special guests, events and parties. Organized group play includes arts and crafts, skits and songs, competition and cooperation.

Steph Willems

We also offer camps across the city where you can find that specialized program for your artist, athlete or diva! Many camps are close enough to walk or bike to, or why not consider carpooling with neighbours? Summer is a great time to be someone else, do something different, or create a masterpiece. Meet other kids or go with your best friend.

steph.willems@metroland.com

Strike action is planned for Ottawa secondary schools starting May 20, but it won’t be the full-scale walkout seen at other Ontario boards.

On May 15, the OttawaCarleton District School Board announced that they had received notice of strike action by the union representing secondary school teachers. The Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation, like other teachers unions, is required to give the board five days’ notice before any strike action.

Good debt, bad debt

W

e are society addicted to and mired in debt.

Our citizens, governments and corporations have no problem justifying the four-letter word for anything.

(Look at the success of the bond market in recent years – I added a modest chunk to my retirement savings through my investment in corporate debt).

Canadian household debt totalled more than $1.8-trillion by the end of the first quarter this year, the Globe and Mail reported earlier this month as part of a series on debt, “equivalent to more than $50,000 for every man, woman and child in the country.”

For every dollar we bring in, we owe $1.63, double the rate of 1990.

At root of the problem is the great middle-class, the bourgeois, who have been sold the dream of a millionaire’s life and seem hell bent on get-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse ting it, through credit.

My generation – roughly those between 30 and 50 – are among the worst offenders.

Thousands of square footage of living space, car collections, new furniture, upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, cottages, designer clothing and trips to the Caribbean. You name it. We want it. We’ve got it.

Who can blame us? It’s sold to us at every opportunity.

I saw an ad recently for a new suburban development outside of Toronto that pictured a couple.

She was wearing a ball gown, dripping in diamonds.

He was wearing a tuxedo.

They were standing in front of their mansion. The reality behind the picture, based on what we actually know? Most couples buying in that development would be house poor, wearing Cinderella rags, with a long (expensive) commute to work, and paying increasingly-high utility costs to heat their empty rooms, were it not for cheap credit.

I say cheap because the banks are giving away credit so easily at low interest rates, and the more you owe, the more, it seems, they want you to owe. I did a calculation recently on a “how much house

can I afford” mortgage calculator. For fun, I punched in $160,000 per year as the household income (which is roughly what I figure two senior government workers in Ottawa would make). In this experiment, I accounted for $5,000 per year property tax and $2,500 for utility costs.

Assuming no other debt, 25-year amortization, a down payment of $100,000 and registered savings of $50,000, the calculator said I could afford a million-dollar home.

And that, my friends, is where it all begins. The banks can crunch the numbers any way they like to get you on the debt train. But honestly, a $900,000 mortgage, even for an affluent couple such as the one I tested in the mortgage calculator, is a pretty big stretch. The household expenses start with nearly

$5,000 in housing costs, servicing mortgage debt, property tax and utilities, which works out to more than 60 per cent of after-tax income.

The next 40 per cent could easily go toward necessary expenses like repairs and maintenance, food, (modestly-priced) clothing, and transportation.

The multiple cars in the driveway would require entirely separate loans.

Taking out a loan for education, a small business start-up or for an affordable mortgage can be reasonable and positive. My post-secondary education was paid for through a combination of scholarships and government student loans.

Had I been required to save the tens of thousands of dollars to get the degree, I very likely would have slogged away at a minimum wage job for years, without a hope of

making it.

Likewise, I’ve seen new Canadians given a deserved leg up through low-interest loans for education.

In the Third World, microcredit has made an enormous difference in the lives of some women and farmers, who would otherwise remain in abject poverty. So debt can be a positive force.

But credit for cars, homes and luxury vacations is not a good thing, particularly credit that’s too cheap and too easy to get. Thus, the message from the Globe and Mail earlier this month that “there’s no such thing as good debt,” is one we need to repeat to ourselves over and over and over again -- banks, corporations and governments included. In the meantime, we’ll have to sit and wait for the bubble to burst.

Batter up, Ottawa

B

uy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don’t care if I ever come back.

Ottawa’s newest sports franchise makes its debut tomorrow, May 22.

We wish the Ottawa Champions good weather, plenty of hits and a championship to go with their name, even if it’s not in year one.

The city has seen sports teams come and go, no more so than on the diamond at what was JetForm Park, then Ottawa Stadium and now the tongue-twisting Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park.

Ottawa sports fans have been called fickle for their wavering support of sports franchises, but we all love a winner, and we’ll prop up less successful teams if the product is entertaining.

As the Champions take to the field this weekend, the fans will be there. Can-Am league baseball isn’t the major leagues but – based on the defunct Rapids – there is no questioning the complete effort the players deliver. The stadium, the ticket and concession prices and the overall experience promise good value

for money, especially for families.

Add in the recent addition of a pedestrian link from the Transitway to the ballpark, and the trip becomes even more family friendly.

Fans will see teams from Canadian and American cities visit to play our Champions, and that in turn creates revenue for service providers in the city. Any time tourism numbers can be boosted, the public should show its support.

It takes a lot of guts to invest in a sports team, especially when past franchises have moved away. The Ottawa Champions Baseball Club ownership took that into account and decided the city would back the team. They’ve given us a vote of confidence and showed more bravado when the name was chosen.

Win or lose, they’re part of our city now.

Let me root, root, root, For the home team, If they don’t win it’s a shame For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out At the old ball game

Swimming upstream in face of parking problems

n Ottawa we love to talk about parking. We love to talk about parking more than we love to park. Actually, we love to do anything more than we love parking.

The parking conversation is a moveable feast, jumping from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

Recently, there have been discussions about Lansdowne, where there seems to be uncertainty about where parking actually is. You’d think a few good signs would clear that up, but life is never as simple as that.

The most recent emergence of the parking conversation is in the Westboro and Wellington West areas, where on-street parking has traditionally been free, with signs limiting the length of time a car can stay in one spot. That either hasn’t worked, or

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town has worked too well, depending on whom you consult. It’s actually the same thing either way: free parking lures cars to the neighbourhood and creates a shortage of free parking.

Can the situation be improved?

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper organized a recent meeting at which the problems were aired. Inevitably, the possibility of paid parking in Westboro was discussed. Now, there are experts on both sides of this issue. Plus, everyone who drives a car

is an expert. So there is no shortage of opinions.

There is just a shortage of clearcut answers. Paid parking, it is said by some, facilitates more rapid turnover of available spaces, thus making more parking available. But wouldn’t strict enforcement of time limits on free parking accomplish the same thing?

Perhaps, but that wouldn’t be popular with merchants. The prospect of parking control officers lurking might scare away potential customers. On the other hand, making them feed the parking meter will also be a deterrent, according to merchants.

The opinion was even expressed that only wealthier people would shop in Westboro, which would threaten the existence of small businesses.

If that seems extreme, remember that not too far away are large shopping centres with lots of stores and free parking. Owning a small business is not for the faint of heart.

More parking garages? It is to laugh. You should never underestimate the legendary cheapness of the average Ottawan. He will drive many blocks out of his way to save two dollars. Inevitably, that takes him onto a residential street, where he parks in front of your house. Now, that doesn’t seem like a huge burden, but it can be a nuisance when dozens of cars are circling your block while the kids are playing street hockey.

Paid parking might add to this problem. On the other hand, it exists already. I know of a family, situated less than half a block from a happening stretch of Wellington Street. They can walk to everything, but they’ve just decided to move out, because of other people’s cars.

CHEO launches new initiative to free up ER for urgent patients Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

FILE

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario recently launched its Choosing Wiselyinitiative, designed to educate parents about what symptoms constitute a trip to the emergency department in hopes of reducing patient wait times. an ambulatory zone was also created at the hospital, “which families now think of as a walkin clinic,” Farion said, adding that word spread when patients were waiting two hours instead of five.

“We were a victim of our own success.”

Parents today are also less comfortable with their child’s health issues compared to previous generations.

“More and more they’re turning to the Internet, (and) not necessarily to approved sites,” said Farion. “They’re using doctor Google and putting in a few things and getting all kinds of stuff that gets them really panicked.”

As a result, the ER is almost

at capacity in terms of space.

“Now we’re seeing them in the hallway or waiting room amongst people who are bunkbedded in the waiting room,” Farion said. “That isn’t good care either, especially when a lot of these children are there with potentially infectious problems and we’re not able to isolate them and put them in their own rooms right off the bat.”

To alleviate some of the pressure, ER doctors will rate a child’s injury or illness, from non-urgent to urgent to lifethreatening, at the end of every visit as part of the Choosing Wisely program.

“It’s a conversation we’re trying to have with families at the end of their visit to bring to

their attention that we’ve had a marked increase in the number of patients, but more importantly a disproportionate increase in the number of lower-acuity patients that are clogging up the emergency department, making it hard for us to provide really good care to those kids who really need to be with us,” said Farion.

Parents will also be given a pamphlet with information on how they can manage their child’s symptoms and help parents decide when a fever, injury or common symptom requires a trip to the ER. It’s about “socializing the idea that not everything needs to be seen in the emergency department,” he said.

Mooney’s Bay footbridge reopens after delay Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Residents who have been pressing for years for the reopening of a footbridge at the south end of Mooney’s Bay Park recently had reason to celebrate.

The new wooden span was actually installed earlier this spring, but a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 17 made its grand reopening official, and gives residents back their treasured shortcut.

“It was December 2012 when NCC closed it and I started my mission of being a thorn in the side,” said Riverside Park resident Carolyn Searle. The land the bridge is on is owned by the

National Capital Commission, but the bridge is maintained by the city, since it owns the majority of the park.

Searle has been a regular user of the park, and has diligently alerted the city whenever the bridge was in disrepair and needed a step replaced due to weathering.

She was disappointed when it was closed without notice.

“This was so convenient,” said Searle, who began her letter-writing campaign in early 2013 to former River ward councillor Marie McRae. “And it’s been closed three-and-a-half years.”

Pediatric emergency rooms across Canada are also experiencing a similar upswing in demand.

“We know how hard it is for parents to decide what to do when their child is ill,” Dr. Gina Neto, CHEO’s acting chief of emergency medicine, said in a statement. “Unfortunately, coming to the emergency department costs the health-care system a lot more than care in a family doctor’s office or walkin clinic – and makes it harder for us to care for the children and youth who really need our specialized help.”

Over the past five years, the hospital has experienced a rise in the number of visits to its emergency department. Last

Sick or injured patients whose conditions don’t warrant a trip to hospital are clogging up the emergency department at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, according to the doctor who studied why parents are bringing children with nonurgent problems to the region’s pediatric ER. That study, conducted from 2011 to 2012 and recently accepted for publication, has prompted the hospital to launch the Choosing Wisely initiative to educate parents on how to manage their child’s symptoms – such as fevers, colds, coughs, rashes and minor injuries – until they can be seen by a family doctor or at a walk-in clinic.

Between 80 and 100 of the more than 200 patients that come to CHEO’s emergency department each day, could, in fact, be seen by a family doctor.

“It can definitely affect the waiting times for the more urgent patients,” said Dr. Ken Farion, medical director of quality at CHEO, who led the study.

“If maybe half of those (nonurgent) patients don’t need to be there then that’s definitely preventing you from getting to the top of the line to then talk to the triage nurse to get things started,” he said.

CHEO first experienced a spike in non-urgent cases at the emergency department in 200809 when it began working to improve wait times.

And about six years ago,

year, it saw more than 72,000 patients.

Nine out of 10 patients who visit the ER already have a primary care provider, according to research conducted at CHEO. While many procedures are only offered at a hospital, including stitches, casts, trauma treatment or infectious disease isolation, several others are available in community-based doctors’ offices, clinics and medical labs.

“Many families assume their primary care provider won’t be available for an acute program, but many practices offer sameday appointments, after-hours clinics or telephone advice for their patients,” CHEO said in a statement.

Indigenous women have long been ‘othered’: expert Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Violence against indigenous women in Canada can be traced back to the earliest contact with European explorers, according to a Carleton University scholar.

Kahente Horn-Miller led a panel discussion at city hall on May 14 as part of a Crime Prevention Ottawa speaker series.

Horn-Miller said the current issue of murdered and missing indigenous women in Canada may only be getting media attention now, but is a problem stretching back 500 years.

She said those first European men imposed their Euro-centric view of women onto the aboriginal communities they encountered.

Paintings and other images from that time depict native men as violent savages, while the women were hyper-sexualized, she said.

Over time this gave way to tropes like the “Indian princess” imagery that made its way into popular culture in the 19th and 20th centuries.

“These are the images that have permeated society,” Horn-Miller said. “These images are how people construct how they see our women. They’re seen as nothing, they’re not valued.”

This persistent over-sexualization has allowed men to take advantage of indigenous women more than other groups.

According to the RCMP, indigenous women are four times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women.

Official statistics show that more than 1,100 indigenous women have been murdered or gone missing since 1980. But that’s just women with Indian status – there are many other indigenous women not included in that number, Horn-Miller said.

Her presentation was part of a breakfast panel discus-

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Indigenous policy expert Kahente Horn-Miller says the mistreatment and sexualisation of Canada’s aboriginal women can be traced back to initial contact with European explorers 500 years ago. Horn-Miller spoke to a small group in the city’s council chambers on May 14 as part of a speakers series put on by Crime Prevention Ottawa. sion hosted by Crime Prevention Ottawa in the city’s council chambers.

“These images are how people construct how they see our women.

They’re seen as nothing, they’re not valued.”

KAHENTE HORN-MILLER, INDIGENOUS POLICY EXPERT

The panel of experts included employment councillor Verna McGregor –whose relative was killed by men

building the Rideau Canal – Cherry Smiley with the Native Women’s Association of Canada, and Delilah Saunders, whose sister Loretta was murdered in 2014.

Horn-Miller repeated the aboriginal community’s call for a national inquiry into why so many indigenous women have been targeted for violence, but she said she’s willing to negotiate with the federal government to find “middle ground” and other solutions.

That could include better funding for health and education in native communities, and a strategy for putting recommendations into action rather than just letting them sit on a shelf.

Dan McCarthy can still remember his first camping trip as a Beaver leader with the 101st Ottawa Scouting Group.

The troop had travelled to the St. Lawrence River for “... our first tent camp, and I remember the sun comes up in late June around 5 a.m. down at the St. Lawrence,” the Elmvale Acres resident said, recalling the excitement of both the children, ages seven and eight, and their leaders. “And when the sun comes up, they wake up.”

That was about a decade ago, eight years into his volunteer work with the group, which meets at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church in Elmvale Acres.

Though he was a Cub and Scout as a young boy, McCarthy said he never considered himself an outdoorsman.

“But since becoming a leader I’ve done lengthy canoe trips, I’ve gone to two Venturer national jamborees, I’ve done two 40-kilometre bike trips and 15- to 20-kilometre hikes through woods and I’ve camped in the winter, in a lean-to, in a quintze

and then a snow trench and the list goes on and on,” he said. “I’m not Grizzly Adams. But it gives you the opportunity to do those things.”

For his “dedication to the mission of Scouting and to enhancing Ottawa’s southeast as a healthy, caring community,” McCarthy was presented with the Mayor’s City Builder Award by Mayor Jim Watson and Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier at the May 13 council meeting.

The award recognizes his “outstanding dedication and leadership, helping youth of all ages to get the training and master the skills they need for personal development, and inspiring other adult troop leaders by example,” the city said in a press release.

For almost 18 years, McCarthy has volunteered in many roles with the 101st Ottawa Scouting Group, which today has 80 kids and 20 volunteer leaders. McCarthy served as Group Commissioner for five years, and when his youngest son joined the program 13 years ago, McCarthy decided to become a leader.

Paramedics seeing rise in cycling-related accidents Cycling safety blitz pedals into Alta Vista Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Cyclists were recently treated to all the bells and whistles, or rather, bells, reflective bands and lights, during a cycling safety blitz at the southeast corner of Industrial Avenue and Alta Vista Drive.

With the advent of warm weather, cycling season is in full swing, reason why Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier and Rob Wilkinson with Safer Roads Ottawa held the blitz on May 14.

They, along with Otta-

wa paramedics and police, also shared safety tips with cyclists commuting home from work or those out for a pleasure ride with their children.

“You have a bell? You have a light?” Cloutier asked Alta Vista resident Anouk Bertner, who was taking her almost two-year-old son, Felix Brunet, out for a ride.

“I do,” replied Bertner, who cycles to work in Vanier as often as possible.

How safe she feels on the city’s roadways depends on what part of the city she cycles in.

“I find there aren’t enough segregated bike lanes,” she said, adding that concrete dividers, such as those on Laurier Avenue, make her “feel so safe.”

“The (painted) line is

good, but it really depends on drivers because a lot of them don’t respect that or just because a lot of the roads are tight anyways,” Bertner said.

“The more biking infrastructure there is, the easier it is to bike and the more I do it for sure.”

In addition to handing out freebies, those involved in the recent safety session checked that cyclists were wearing helmets and weren’t wearing ear buds.

Getting the word out to cyclists about what they can do to ensure their safety is important more now than ever before since Ottawa paramedics say they are seeing an increase in cyclingrelated accidents.

Basilica keeps public parking lot for another three years Committee sends ‘strong message’ after four renewals Emma Jackson

this is its last extension.

The committee didn’t go that far – the amendment was carried without any changes committee chairwoman Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder told Vice to bring back a “strong message” to the church that the committee members want to see some movement on the file in the near future.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli pointed out that the rationale for continually approving temporary amendments is the lesser of two evils.

While it creates undesirable surface parking in the short term, it at least leaves the door open for future redevelopment, instead of permanently rezoning the lot to allow parking forever, he said.

Already the church’s grandfathered 85 spots are allowed to remain permanently, unless the church wants to redevelop them.

“You can’t force the church to have the money to do the construction, we can only help to facilitate that,” Chiarelli said.

The motion passed with only one dissent from Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper.

The archdiocese could not be reached for comment.

Despite much hand-wringing around the planning committee table, a temporary zoning amendment was approved on May 12 to allow Notre Dame Basilica in the Byward Market to maintain a public parking lot on its property.

The iconic downtown church has been allowed to offer 57 public spaces since 2003, when the city approved the demolition of two heritage buildings on the site to expand the church’s 85-spot permanent parking lot as a money-making scheme for the parish.

It received a three-year zoning amendment for the 57 spots at the time, and the plan was to use the extra revenue to eventually redevelop the land into something other than surface parking – possibly to move the archdiocese’s headquarters to that location

and bury the church’s parking facilities entirely.

Twelve years later, the church has now received four of these three-year parking agreements, despite the city’s desire to discourage surface parking in the area.

Yet the church has no immediate plans to redevelop the lot any time soon.

“I don’t want to mislead anyone, it won’t happen at the end of this temporary grant,” said Peter Vice, the church’s lawyer, citing lack of funds.

He said plans were drafted for redevelopment, but it was too expensive for the church to accomplish.

While the desire to develop hasn’t changed, it “will not happen in the short term,” he told the committee.

Lowertown Community Association member Robert Tritt asked the committee to reject the application on the grounds that it “sends absolutely the wrong message about how the city feels about surface parking in the central area, in the market, in a heritage district, particularly where two heritage buildings were destroyed.”

Failing that, he said he at least wanted the committee to consider telling the church

The school’s board of directors also dreams of purchasing a 3D printer for the high school.

“You’re never through purchasing technology,” said Gere.

The catered gala is an opportunity for the community to gather at the heritage Cereal Barn at the Canadian Experimental Farm for an evening of live jazz music by the London Gentleman Records Band, an appetizer supper, including a pasta station, and a silent auction.

The theme will be ‘Growing Together.’

“That’s sort of our theme for our year. It’s the theme for our year book. It’s sort of apropos in that we’re putting in The Element as well,” the school director said. “But it’s this idea that when we work together we can accomplish a lot.”

School-age children in three grade levels learn together in a very interactive activity-based environment in which they develop strong academic skills, she said, adding that students start doing research at six years old.

Teachers, known as directrices or directors, give short, directed lessons and kids are set free to work on the assignments.

“The students have a lot of independent work periods,” Gere said. “The majority of work is done outside the classroom structure.”

For example, the Grade 7, 8 and 9 students cook a hot lunch three days a week, creating their own menus and do grocery shopping on a budget.

“They can cook for 35 people,” she said with a laugh.

The kids, however, won’t be the ones doing the cooking at the school’s inaugural gala fundraiser on May 28 at 6 p.m.

The expansion and relocation of The Element is meant to provide another option for Ottawa-area students and their parents who are seeking education outside the traditional high school model.

“There are a few specialized programs in the public system, but not a lot,” said Pat Gere, director of The Element and OMS Montessori, known as Ottawa Montessori School until two years ago. “So there seemed to be a real opening for an alternative high school experience for students.”

The Montessori high school evolved in 2012 after Grade 7 and 8 junior high classes were added in 2003 to OMS Montessori. Grade 9 was first offered in September 2013.

The not-for-profit charitable corporation’s board of directors has been shopping for a new high school location for more than four years, and finally signed a lease in March, securing the second floor at 425 Marché Way, across from the Aberdeen Pavilion and beside

“We decided it was important for us to put the adolescent into contact with the adult world rather than taking them out and putting thousands of them in a high school subdivision,” Gere said. “One of the things that adolescents crave is interaction with the adult world.”

This is in keeping with the Montessori educational method based on the work of Italian doctor and educator Dr. Maria Montessori.

OMS Montessori, which offers a toddler program for children, ages 18 months to three years old, a preschool program for children three to six years old and grades one to six began in five different locations in the Rockcliffe community 49 years ago. At the time, it was the only Montessori school in Ottawa. Today, there are almost 30 schools that follow the same educational principles in the Ottawa Valley.

OMS Montessori was consolidated and relocated to its current location in Riverview Park at 335 Lindsay St., about 25 years ago, and today boasts 280 students from as far away

Continued from page 14

While more fans of pedal power are taking advantage of the city’s pathway network, it can be risky for them to share the road with motorists, especially if drivers are distracted, said paramedic Martin Masse.

As important as it is to educate cyclists, part of the challenge lies in getting the message out to motorists, which prompted Safer Roads Ottawa to work with the police on the ‘Leave the Phone Alone’ campaign.

“In 2013, 40 per cent of collisions on our roads were related to one form of distracted driving or another,” said Rob Wilkinson, coordinator of Safer Roads Ottawa, the city’s umbrella road safety program.

“Most of the time it’s that hand-held device.”

While figures from 2014 haven’t yet been released, he expects to see that number go up.

The objective is to get people to think of texting or using a cellphone while driving as socially taboo, “and don’t get into the vehicle with someone who’s actually doing it because they’re putting your life into danger as well,” Wilkinson cautioned.

While motorists are often to blame for collisions between vehicles and bikes, “sometimes it’s the fault of the actual cyclist who is being over aggressive and trying to cut across traffic or in front of a car just to get where they’re going,” Masse said.

“It’s pretty common downtown.”

Educating motorists and cyclists on the importance of communicating their intentions while on the road is essential.

“A lot of times it’s about predictive behaviour,” Wilkinson said.

“So I, as a cyclist, want to know what the driver is going to do and I also want to know, as the driver, what the cyclist is going to do.”

‘You get to be involved with your children’: Scouting leader Continued from page 12

Today, he leads and mentors 16 Venturer youth, ages 14 to 17, including his youngest son, supporting them in their community service work and ensuring they enjoy life-enhancing adventures, many of them in the great outdoors.

McCarthy also successfully applied for a grant last year from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which contributed $8,900, allowing the group to replace and update camping equipment and tents and offset the cost of training for the Venturers and leaders.

Leading the Venturers has allowed McCarthy to get to know the teens as people and better understand their

hopes and goals, providing him with a unique window into their world.

“Unless you’re a teacher, I don’t know where else I

“You also get to do everything that they do.”

Dan McCarthy, leader with the 101st Ottawa Scouting Group

would have that opportunity to get that perspective,” said McCarthy, who, in his day job, is director of energy and environment policy at the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, one of the federal government’s

regional economic development agencies.

Most recently, McCarthy travelled with the Venturers to Lake Placid, N.Y. earlier this year, where they snowshoed to the top of a mountain.

“The reward for me, more than anything, is to spend time with my son and the other youth in the program who have become his friends,” McCarthy said.

His eldest son, now 23, also went through the Scouting program.

The grand reopening of the footbridge at the south end of Mooney’s Bay Park was celebrated May 17 by Riverside Park residents Carolyn Searle, left, who has long advocated for the pedestrian bridge to ropen, River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington’s step mother, Doris Fiszer, and father, Bruce Brockington, Brockington and former city councillor and long-time Riverside Park resident George Brown.

No plans yet to replace three more footbridges Continued from page 9

The delay was attributed to a lengthy approval process, both at the City and NCC levels, and the steps involved in issuing a request for proposals to build the structure, Searle said of the bridge which was crafted with locally sourced eastern white cedar wood, “And not only the bridge, but because this is a protected habitat in here,” she said of the reason for the delay, motioning to a small marsh where red-wing black birds fly from one bull rush to another.

When the bridge was first built, it was given a coat of lead paint, which has chipped off over the years, contaminating the surrounding soil. Before the new span could be installed, the ground needed remediation.

The new structure won’t be treated or painted in order to safeguard the natural environment.

“They don’t want treatment or paint to fall into the water,” River ward Coun. Riley Brockington said during his remarks prior to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

When work began in earnest late last fall, it didn’t take long to complete the project, said Searle.

Like other local residents, in-

cluding members of a cross-country skiing club, she relied on the bridge as a shortcut as she navigated her way along the bank of the Rideau River. Without the structure, it meant having to go the long way around the creek and back up to the sidewalk along Riverside Drive.

“I guess it reaches the point where the old bridge could only be repaired so much,” Searle said of the span, which was installed in 1960, along with three similar bridges at the north end of the park, which are currently closed to pedestrians.

“But (those structures) don’t have a creek, so it’s not as urgent,” Searle said.

The $100,000 cost of the southend bridge included a one-time $25,000 design fee.

“So if the city does the other bridges, it’ll be the same design, same type of bridge,” said Brockington.

The city currently has no plans in place to replace those north-end footbridges in the short term.

“Given the remaining bridges don’t span water, city staff say that those rebuilds will be a greater challenge due to limited finances,” Brockington said.

Conservation authority seeks city stream watch volunteers Metroland Media Staff

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s city stream watch program wants volunteers to help monitor and clean up streams in the Ottawa area.

The stream watch program will collect data and monitor creeks in Barrhaven, Bilberry in Orléans, Mosquito in Riverside South and Stillwater Creek in west Ottawa.

Volunteers will record natural characteristics of the stream and the presence of fish, as well as help with cleanups, shoreline planting and invasive species removal.

“This is a great chance for interested members of the community to

learn about and help care for their local streams,” city stream watch coordinator Chelsey Ellis said in a press release. “If you care about community health this is a fun and rewarding experience – meeting and working with other dedicated stream stewards while doing something positive for our valuable urban streams.”

She said all new and returning volunteers are welcome. Last year, 288 volunteers contributed 1,115 hours to the program.

A volunteer training session will be held on May 30 from 10 a.m. to noon along Graham Creek in Nepean. There is no cost for training and all equipment will be provided.

Volunteers are asked to pre-register

by contacting Chelsey Ellis at citystreamwatch@rvca.ca.

The City Stream Watch program is a community-based partnership, which includes the city, Heron Park Community Association, the Canadian Forces Fish and Game Club, the Ottawa Flyfishers Society, the Rideau Roundtable, the Ottawa Stewardship Council, NCC and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

Stream watch training takes place near Billing’s Bridge in this 2014 file photo. A stream watch program needs volunteers to help monitor and clean up streams in the Ottawa area.

RESIDENTS OF OTTAWA:

Within days, the Ontario Legislature will vote on Hydro privatization (Bill 91) Please tell Liberal MPP John Fraser to vote against Bill 91 — to protect residents of Ottawa from…

SOARING PRIVATIZED ELECTRICITY BILLS By voting against Bill 91, Liberal MPPs can save Hydro One from privatization.

May 18 to May 22 is Constituency Week!

TELL LIBERAL MPP JOHN FRASER TO VOTE AGAINST BILL 91 John Fraser

MPP, OTTAWA SOUTH

1828 Bank Street Ottawa, Ontario K1V 7Y6 Tel: 613-736-9573 Fax: 613-736-7374 Jfraser.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org

Liberal MPP John Fraser has a choice: Protect the people of Ottawa from even higher hydro bills – by voting against Bill 91

Important message to members and supporters of the Ontario Liberal Party: Even partial privatization has brought soaring electricity rates in countries around the world. Small business owners, farmers and residents cannot afford to pay more for electricity.

Future generations will need the perpetual flow of hundreds of millions of dollars from our public Hydro One — to pay for public services like health care and education.

If Bill 91 is passed, Liberal MPPs like John Fraser, the Ontario Liberal Party and Premier Wynne will be held responsible for the consequences.

There are many reasons to keep Hydro One in public hands.

Developing New Programs for Poverty Reduction Every day, people throughout our community work hard to make a difference in the fight against poverty.

Some may participate in organized fundraisers at their place of work, while others may volunteer their time helping a charity group during the weekends.

No matter what it is they do, their goal is the same: to come together as a community and improve the lives of those living in poverty.

That is why Ontario is now inviting community, broader public sector and Aboriginal organizations to submit proposals for the Local Poverty Reduction Fund. Our government will provide funding over the next six years to support innovative and sustainable community-driven programs that measurably improve the lives of those most affected by poverty.

This often includes women, single parents, people with disabilities, youth, newcomers, visible minorities, seniors and Aboriginal Peoples.

Programs that receive funding will be evaluated to determine their impact on the community, and the lessons learned will be used to help design and deliver other new programs using their proven approaches. That means making a real difference in the lives of people who are working hard to leave poverty behind.

Sens owner buoyed by public response No viable donor yet confirmed for Eugene Melnyk’s urgent liver transplant plea Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Though no viable donor has been announced, ailing Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk says the response to his plea for a live liver donor has “given me all the strength I need at this difficult time.”

The Senators hockey club sent out a news release on May 14 explaining Melnyk’s “urgent need of a liver transplant.”

According to the statement, Melnyk has been “battling major health issues since midJanuary,” but no details were provided about what those health issues are. However, the club pointed to the issues as the reason for his conspicuous absence during the Senators’ regular-season comeback to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Melnyk was admitted to hospital four weeks ago due to liver-related complications, and, after undergoing a medical assessment, he was told he urgently needs a new liver.

In a statement from Melnyk released May 18, he said friends and family had exhausted all hope of finding a suitable donor for him, and convinced him to go public.

Since then, the Senators have received more than 2,000 calls and emails in support of Melnyk, and more than 500 donor applications have been received by the University Health Network that is assessing donors for Melnyk.

“I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the public and the media,” Melnyk said in a statement. “It is truly heartwarming to feel loved by so many people.”

cants are still being screened.

In the Senators first statement, the sports group explained the transplant of part of a liver is not usually debilitating for the donor.

“The liver is a highly resilient organ that can regenerate itself within 90-120 days and return back to its normal size,” said Dr. Atul Humar, the Medical Director of the University Health Network’s multi-organ transplant program and quoted in the Senators news release.

.COM

“Any healthy adult between the ages of 18 to 55 years could be a potential live liver donor,” he said, adding that, of the more than 600 live liver donor transplants that have been performed at the University Health Network, all donors have returned to their lives without restrictions.

The Senators club said Melnyk’s health “remains stable” and that it continues to encourage anyone interested in being a donor to complete the donor assessment form, found at www.uhn.ca/MOT/PatientsFamilies/Clinics_Tests/Documents/MOT_PF_CC_LivingDonor_DonorHealthHistoryForm.pdf.

The form can then be faxed to Toronto General Hospital’s living donor assessment office at 416-340-4317, and that anyone having trouble doing that can get help from Senators staff at 613-599-0100.

Fun summer ahead for 1,100 kids Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Sens Foundation is contributing $200,000 in funding to send local children to summer camp, staff announced on May 13 at the Canadian Tire Centre.

The Sens Campership program will send youth from ages four to 17 from eastern Ontario and western Quebec to camp this summer through the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa’s Camp Smitty, Christie Lake Kids Camp, City of Ottawa Champions’ Camp, City of Ottawa Sports Camp, and Tim Horton’s Foundation childrens’ camps in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.

AJ Osman, a nine-year-old from Barrhaven, stole the show at the press conference with his story from Camp Smitty, which he attended last year and will return to next year.

“I hope this year I can go to the session at the same time as my birthday.

“My mom doesn’t have lots of money, but the Boys and Girls Club helped her pay for me to go,” AJ said. “I love going to Camp Smitty.”

He talked about the seven challenges he completed at the camp, including building a campfire, a mini-marathon that included a canoe and a mud fight in a mud pit to complete a special badge. He wants to be a camp counsellor himself, once he’s old enough.

“I made lots of really cool friends and I can’t wait to go back and see them,” he said. “I can’t wait to go back this year – I only have to wait 75 more days.”

The funding announcement was made by Sens Foundation president Danielle Robinson, who said the project is in line with other foundation initiatives to improve access to afterschool and summer recreational activities.

The foundation put out a call for proposals in November from organizations which offer

summer camps in order to fund children facing financial challenges.

“All kids deserve the opportunity to attend summer camp,” Robinson said.

Ottawa Senators player Cody Ceci, an Orléans native, said his own summer camp experiences as a child were great, and he was fortunate enough to be able to take part in different hockey camps.

“I know (it) isn’t always possible for kids in different financial situations,” he said.

“Throughout the camps, you learn all about teamwork, working together with others – and that’s big in hockey, and that’s the biggest thing I learned. It also allows kids to get outdoors and away from their X-boxes and PlayStations and enjoy what nature has to offer.”

The 1,100 children who will receive grant funding for camp this summer will attend for five to 12 days each.

City Splash Pads Are Now Open The City of Ottawa has opened splash pads around the city for the 2015 season. They will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through to September. In Findlay Creek, splash pads can be found at Butterfly Park, Diamond Jubilee Park and Turtle Park and in Riverside South they can be found at Claudette Cain Park, Four Seasons Park and Mountain Meadows Park. Splash pads provide a nice way to cool down and have fun throughout the summer. If you ever notice that a splash pad is not working properly be sure to report it to 3-1-1 or directly to my office.

Lions hurdler chosen as Ottawa’s torchbearer City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière

Water and Sewer Rate Review

Orléans resident Karelle Edwards , an Olympic-hopeful in hurdling, has been chosen as Ottawa’s Pan American Games torchbearer.

The city was given the opportunity to choose one torchbearer, and put out a call for nominations in January.

Edwards said her father’s friend nominated her to cover the downtown route.

“For Canada to have the Pan Am Games is already huge,” said Edwards, 25. “So to be part of the kick-off is an absolute honour.”

Edwards will run the portion of the relay through central Ottawa, while the Pan Am Games committee is still to announce torchbearers for the Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans legs of

The City will embark on a review of the financial structure of the water, wastewater and stormwater rate that is charged to homeowners. This has been precipitated by the declining and unpredictable levels of water consumption the City has faced for many years. It seems that the success of water conservation has worked so well, that the revenues the City has realized continue to fall; we have one success at the cost to the other.

Most Ontario municipalities utilize a two-part water and wastewater rate structure to recover service costs from a fixed service charge and a volumetric charge. City staff will report back to the Environment Committee before March 31, 2016 with their recommendations. Public consultation is expected to occur in the Autumn 2015 at which time the City will explain the various options studied, how they were evaluated and the estimated impact on various customers.

Ottawa Board of Health The Ottawa Board of Health has recently approved its strategic plan for 2015-2018, which includes five directions to guide them. They are as follows: (1) Inspire and support healthy eating and active living, (2) Foster Mental Health, (3) Reduce Preventable Infectious Diseases, (4) Develop an Adaptive Workforce, (5) Advance Healthy Public Policy. To acquire more information about the strategic plan, please contact my office.

STEP Focus in May – Motorcycles The Ottawa Police Service, in cooperation with the Gatineau Police Service jointly participate in the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). Every month, they announce the specific focus and in May it is motorcycle safety, unsafe vehicles and heavy trucks. Between 2009 and 2013, there were 790 collisions involving motorcycles resulting in 542 injuries and 12 fatalities and between 2008 and 2012, 707 reportable collisions on Ottawa roadways involved unsafe vehicles resulting in 213 injuries; 13 serious injuries and six fatalities. Causes of these collisions included defective brakes, steering, tires, lights, engine controls, trailer hitches, suspension, as well as obscured vision.

the relay.

The hurdler could potentially make the Games herself, as she has already run the cut-off standard time in her event, the 100-metre hurdles. Only the top two female Canadian runners in the event will be selected to compete.

Last time she checked, Edwards was ranked third, but said she tries not to pay attention to the rankings too much.

“The goal is just to keep running – and run fast,” she said.

Canadian athletes have until June 14 to post their best times with Athletics Canada before the team is selected. Her ultimate goal is to qualify for the 2016 Olympics – an event that takes the top three Canadians based on upcoming Olympic trials performance.

Edwards competed in the last Olympic trials, and made the finals. It was her first competitive season after a three-year break due to a back injury.

After switching from gymnastics to track and field as a De La Salle high school student, she represented Canada at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics, and the next year competed at the IAAF World Junior Championships.

She returned from her hiatus due to injury and now trains with the Ottawa Lions and coach Craig Taylor, working towards the goal of qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The University of Ottawa graduate has put her future plans of becoming a chiropractor on hold as she focuses fulltime on her track career.

She said the excitement around the Pan American Games being in her home country will be motivation to work towards her goals.

“Just being at home, there’ll be so much hype,” she said.

“I’m really excited and looking forward to it, and I’m hoping I do make the team and I’m able to represent Canada.”

Collective groans as two-year construction project hits Main St. Work to transform road into ‘complete street’ to start May 24 Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Residents, commuters and business owners are bracing for disruption as construction was set to begin on the Main Street redevelopment project.

The plan, which will transform the road into a “complete street,” will close down lanes on large portions of the roads over two years, beginning May 24.

While happy with the ultimate goal of making the street friendlier to pedestrians and cyclists, many residents expressed concern that commuters will cut through their neighbourhood during the construction.

In order to try to alleviate this problem, the city has bought four speed boards for the project that will be used in a variety of locations as construction progresses to slow drivers down.

“Speed is the real issue,” project manager Josée Valée said at an open house the city held on May 11 to inform residents about the construction. “We can only address volume so much. We want to make sure that if they do travel through the neighbourhood that they travel at a reasonable speed so it’s safe.”

The city also has a number of other traffic control devic-

es it might use depending on the data it gets back from its speed boards, such as installing speed bumps, banning left turns onto certain roads and narrowing side streets, Valée said.

The city is also hoping to encourage commuters to take alternate routes and to avoid driving down Main Street unless they absolutely have to.

The redevelopment plan, which was approved by city council in 2013, will widen

the summer of 2016. From Greenfield Avenue to Hawthorne Avenue, there will be one lane of traffic open in each direction until June 19, when there will only be a southbound lane.

There will also be no northbound traffic from Greenfield to Echo Drive during that time.

Further south, there will be one lane in each direction open at all times from Clegg to Riverdale Avenue, until a six month period later in 2015 or early 2016 when the northbound lane will be closed.

Other parts of the street will be limited to just one lane in each direction, with intermittent lane closures on most sections until 2017.

“It’s going to be two years, but let’s support each other.

We’ll get through this.”

DETOURS

Capital ward Coun. David Chernushenko

sidewalks and install bike lanes along Main Street. This will limit the number of lanes for vehicular traffic down to one in each direction at many points along the street with the hope of slowing drivers down.

The work will also include replacing the water mains, the combined sewer system and installing public artworks.

Having experienced the Bank Street reconstruction in the Glebe a few years earlier, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the problems caused by construction will be a headache, but will only be temporary.

File

The city is set to begin construction on the Main Street redevelopment project on May 24. The project will transform the road into a ‘complete street, by lowering the amount of lanes for car traffic, extending the sidewalk and installing a bike lane.

“It’s going to be congested.

It’s going to be noisy. It’s going to be dusty,” he said. “It’s going to be two years, but let’s support each other. We’ll get through this.”

The councillor encouraged residents to email his office at david.chernushenko@ottawa. ca if they are experiencing

difficulties due to the construction.

LANE CLOSURES

The first phase of construction will close off northbound traffic from Clegg Street to Lees Avenue, with a single southbound lane until

OC Transpo plans to change routes of northbound buses that would usually travel up Main Street to turn west on Clegg, up Colonel By Drive and then east on Hawthorne. Commuters will have to board and get off the bus on stops on Clegg and Hawthorne, as there will be no stops on Colonel By. The city recommends drivers go west on Riverside Drive or Riverdale Drive and Sunnyside Avenue to Bank Street. The detour then suggests drivers travel north on Bank Street until turning east on Isabella Street.

The city also has suggested detour routes for cyclists who would usually go up Main Street, sending them up Echo

Drive instead.

A number of Alta Vista commuters, who drive on Main Street to travel downtown, attended the open house to voice concern over how the construction will affect them.

Chris Malekos, who uses Main Street to get downtown, said he was told by city staff to take Alta Vista Drive to Hwy. 417 and to exit at Nicholas Street. But the Nicholas Street exit is set to be limited to one lane over a six-month period during the Main Street construction.

“They’re choking off two main routes,” he said. “Where are the cars going to go?”

TREE CONCERNS

Old Ottawa East residents also voiced concern over the planned removal of 127 old trees for the project.

While the city has pledged to plant 200 to 260 trees along Main Street as part of the project, a number of residents expressed sadness that the older trees could not be saved.

“Really big old trees don’t sprout like mushrooms,” said resident Cheryl Watters.

“We’re trying to be environmentally friendly, but at the expense of the trees.”

The city has determined that 66 per cent of the old trees are in poor health and would need to come down anyway. Around 14 per cent of the trees that are going to come down are ash trees, which have been ravaged by the emerald ash borer.

Armoured car operator strike could see area ATMs run dry Grocery stores could also be affected by cash delivery stoppages Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Those who depend on ATMs might want to stock up on cash.

More than 135 armoured car operators, who deliver money to cash machines for Garda Security in the Ottawa region, launched a strike on May 14 after talks broke down between the union representing the employees and the company.

This means that ATMs across the city could run dry over the Victoria Day long weekend. Some major gro-

cery stores Garda restocks, such as Metro, could also be stuck for change if a deal is not met.

“People are going to be feeling it at the ATM machines,” said Andre Desjardins, the local president.

“It’s the first long weekend of the spring so it’s going to be busy.”

The Garda Security workers are represented by Unifor, the largest private sector union in the country.

At the heart of the dispute is a disagreement over pensions and benefits. Desjardins said Garda is looking for an agreement that would have workers contribute more to their benefits, paying 50 per cent by the plan’s fifth year.

“That would be a huge expense,” Desjardins said.

Garda is also looking to change pensions from de-

fined benefits plans to defined contribution, Desjardins said.

This would mean that instead of having a set amount that retired workers would receive from their employer, they would get whatever was left in a retirement investment account that would typically have contributions from both the company and the employee.

A representative for Garda Security refused to comment.

A crowd of employees stood outside Garda Security’s building, at 1303 Michael St., after the security company escorted them off the premises and initiated a lockout as the strike started.

“We want the company to come back to the table and negotiate,” Desjardins said.

“That’s all we want. We want a fair and equitable deal for both sides.”

Memorial park to honour Fallowfield bus crash victims Place of reflection to open this fall Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

It’s hard to have a moment of reflection in the middle of traffic.

That’s why Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder has been working with the families of six people killed in a 2013 bus crash to develop a quiet remembrance park near the Fallowfield park and ride, so people can pay their respects in safety and solitude.

During morning rush hour on Sept. 18, 2013, an OC Transpo express bus was travelling north on the Transitway near Fallowfield train station when it crashed through a level rail crossing and collided with a westbound VIA Rail train.

The front of the doubledecker bus was shorn off, killing six people including the

bus driver, David Woodard.

Now the city is spending $125,000 to develop a park for reflection and contemplation about 250 metres from the crash site, just east of the train station.

Harder revealed part of the plan at a council meeting on May 13. A secluded spot north of the parking lot will feature a symmetrical stand of trees in traditional “bosquet” style, and will offer a naturally private space thanks to an existing hedgerow.

The parkette is meant to give families a safe place to go other than the rail crossing, which right now has an ad hoc memorial set up by family and friends of the victims.

But with trains and buses going by, that spot can be dangerous and inaccessible. “(The families) need a place to be close,” Harder said. “It’s the closest point they could be safely and still have protection and privacy.”

What wasn’t revealed at council were the plans for six individual memorials repre-

senting the victims’ lives.

That’s a purposeful omission, Harder said, in part to protect the families from prying questions until the project is complete.

But she said the memorial has been driven by the families and will represent how they remember their loved ones.

“What you’re going to see is why each of them mattered to their families and their community,” she said.

“When you look at the pieces you’ll think, ‘Wow that’s something neat about that person.’”

The six people killed were Michael Bleakney, 57, Connor Boyd, 21, Karen Krzyzewski, 53, Kyle Nash, 21, Rob More, 35 and Woodard, 45. Only Woodard was not a Barrhaven resident, Harder said.

The individual memorials haven’t been finalized, but will likely be arranged as six different places with a communal spot for reflection in the middle.

That could also include a

Coun. Jan Harder revealed preliminary plans on May 13 for a memorial honouring six victims of a 2013 crash between an OC Transpo bus and a VIA Rail train. place to leave messages, Harder said, and a plaque about the crash.

“The story is about more than just the people who passed away, it is a story about 91 people from Barrhaven specifically, that were on one bus that were involved in a tragedy,” she said.

Harder said she hopes to officially open the park around Thanksgiving of this year, a month after the collision’s second anniversary.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation at the Transportation Safety Board, although investigators said in September 2014 that distrac-

tion may have been a factor, as the driver was looking at a small video monitor of the upper deck seconds before impact. Speed could also have been a factor.

Mayor Jim Watson said the city does not yet know when a final TSB report may be published.

The federal government is set to fund $44 million in Ottawa infrastructure projects at National Research Council of Canada buildings over the next four years.

The NRC, which is the government’s research and technology branch, will complete eight projects on its campuses in Ottawa, including general repairs to its buildings.

“The National Research Council is pleased to receive this investment which will improve our capacity to support research and technology innovation ultimately leading to economic growth and prosperity for Canadian entrepreneurs,” said John McDougall, the NRC’s president. “With this investment, we can continue to offer world-class research equipment and facilities to help the business community meet their technological challenges and support their competitiveness and growth.”

The bulk of the work will be done at the NRC’s campus on Montreal Road, which will see improvements in its sewage and electrical systems.

The campus has one of the last remaining places in Ottawa that is serviced by a combined sewer system and sanitary system, the government said. The NRC has plans to separate it and replace it with a more environmentally friendly sys-

tem for the price of $12 million.

The NRC is also going to spend $10 million on general improvements to the interior and exterior of its buildings in Ottawa, such as roofing and walls. The NRC plans to put $6 million towards retrofitting its laboratories to make them more energy efficient.

Around $1 million will also be spent on renovating and expanding the Canadian Centre for Housing Technologies, which supports research for the construction industry.

The NRC will also spend more than $5 million renovating its building at 100 Sussex Dr., a 1930s heritage building that is home to research laboratories.

The spending is part of $5.8 billion in infrastructure spending Prime Minister Stephen Harper committed to in November, the government said.

Orléans MP Royal Galipeau announced the NRC funding for the Ottawa region at the NRC campus in Ottawa on May 8.

“Our government recognizes that Canadians benefit from investments in public infrastructure,” Galipeau said in a statement. “Today’s investment in the National Research Council’s Ottawa facilities will help support our construction and aerospace companies while ensuring NRC employees have the world class facilities required to help these companies through research and development.”

Mini rhubarb Pavlovas are a nice light dessert Pavlova is the national dessert of New Zealand, usually made larger than these. Dazzle your guests with this mini version topped with local rhubarb.

Preparation time: 40 minutes.

Cooking time: 10 minutes. Baking time: 50 minutes. Serves eight.

Ingredients

• 750 ml (3 cups) chopped rhubarb • 75 ml (1/3 cup) liquid honey • 10 ml (2 tsp) grated orange rind • 15 ml (1 tbsp) orange juice • 175 ml (3/4 cup) whipping cream • 15 ml (1 tbsp) granulated sugar Meringues • 4 egg whites • 175 ml (3/4 cup) granulated sugar • 5 ml (1 tsp) white wine vinegar • 5 ml (1 tsp) cornstarch • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla

Preparation

In a bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about two minutes.

Sprinkle with sugar, and beat on high speed until stiff and shiny, about five minutes. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, cornstarch and vanilla. On low speed, beat the cornstarch mixture into the egg whites just until blended.

Spoon the mixture into eight mounds at least five centimetres (two inches) apart, onto two parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Using the back of a spoon, shape each mound into a nest with a slight indent in the centre. Place in a 180 C (350 F) oven and immediately reduce heat to 150 C (300 F). Bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack

I brought my parents for lunch. The service was excellent and the waitress was so helpful with settling my parents into their seats. My Mom really enjoyed her liver and onions. Fish and Chips were delicious.Very comfortable atmosphere. We'll be back !

and let cool.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, honey, orange rind and juice and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until thickened – about seven minutes. Let it cool and then chill until it’s cold.

Whip the cream with sugar until it’s stiff. Fold in 175 ml (3/4 cup) of the rhubarb sauce.

Spoon about 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the cream mixture into each meringue. Serve topped with a dollop of the rhubarb sauce.

Tips: Meringues can be filled with the cream mixture a few hours ahead, but top with the rhubarb sauce just before serving. Make the meringues a few days ahead and store in airtight containers.

This year’s nautical theme will be sure to please.

Thank you to our fabulous sponsors & supporters

Come set sail with us for an unforgettable evening in support of Hospice Care Ottawa!

Hospice Care Ottawa is a community-based charitable organization. We offer palliative and end-of-life services at no cost to people living in the city of Ottawa. Delivery of our services is made possible through the support of a small dedicated staff, many volunteers and generous donors.

What is Hospice Care?

Hospice Care is different from other types of health care in a number of ways:  Comfort vs. cure: For most health care professionals, the goal is to help people get well. At Hospice Care Ottawa, the staff, volunteers and family focus on comfort, support and care rather than cure.  Family focus: Hospice care focuses on the entire family. Hospice staff and volunteers help family members become involved in the client’s care.  Grief support: Bereavement support staff and volunteers maintain contact with family members for up to a year after the death of their loved one.

Audrey’s advancing maturity MARY COOK Memories

sisters growing up.

“Just wait until you sister starts bringing a boy home for Sunday supper,” she said. “You can be sure they’ll soon be talking about a wedding.” Well! The very thought of my sister Audrey going off and getting married sent ice water right through my veins.

“And don’t think he has to be a Lutheran either,” she said. “Two of my sisters are seeing boys from the United Church.” She curled her lip.

She said it as if it was a sin right up there with saying a swear word, or telling a lie to your mother.

Well, it wasn’t long after that little talk in the two-seater wood swing in the grape arbour, that one Saturday, the house was in a state of turmoil like I hadn’t seen since we

got a phone call that the member of Parliament was paying a call to the farm.

The house was torn apart, swept from top to bottom, lists made to take into Renfrew, and Audrey’s one and only church dress was hand-washed, hung in the sun to dry, and ironed and put on a wood hanger behind the parlour door.

When I tried to find out what all the excitement was about, Audrey told me to keep out of her way, just as if I was a bug found on the back stoop.

Then there was talk about what we would be eating at Sunday night supper. Well, Sunday supper was always the same: a roast of pork brought right out of the smokehouse.

Audrey was sent upstairs to the trunk in the hall and told to bring down the white linen tablecloth Mother had brought from New York, and which was only used at Christmas time or when Aunt Lizzie came from Regina. Well! Something was going on, let me tell you.

And then it hit me, just like a bolt of lightning. We would be having a boy Audrey was sweet on coming

the old Model T parked at the drive shed. It was as black as your boot, and the top folded down, and you could see the shining inside right from the kitchen window. And then this tall streak of manhood unwrapped himself from the front seat, leaving the motor purring like a kitten. His hair was slicked back and you could smell the Brylcream before he reached the back door.

Mother shook his hand, Audrey was as red as a beat, and I did nothing more than nod when Audrey said, “This is my little sister Mary.”

Well, what happened next was like something right out of a storybook.

“So this is Mary,” he said, ruffling my hair. “Well, I think a trip to Briscoe’s General Store for some ice cream is in order. What do you say, Mary?” I was in that slick car before you could say “Jack Robinson.”

Audrey was helped into the front seat, and we tore out the lane like a bullet. I could see my three brothers lined up in the barn door, glaring.

As the wind blew my hair in every direction, I prayed that Marguirite would see us when we passed her lane. Never did I feel so important.

In my mind’s eye I pictured myself in a long dress with flowers in my hair at my sister’s wedding. I didn’t care if he was Lutheran, United or a Catholic from Mount St. Patrick.

Ten little fingers...check. Ten little toes...check. Narrowing of the aorta...check. Hypoplastic aortic

arch...check. Atrium septal defect and bicuspid valve...check. The news that Leo was born with multiple heart problems was devastating but the skilled professionals at CHEO were able to fix each one.

Fixing Leo’s heart defects required a seven hour open heart surgery, a stay in CHEO’s

neonatal intensive care unit, a stay in the pediatric intensive care unit post operatively, many sleepless nights for mom and dad and a difficult struggle by an amazing little boy. Today Leo is a happy and active three-year-old. It’s thanks to CHEO’s doctors and surgeons and the

vital pieces of equipment needed to support his little body during surgery and recovery that Leo is now living a healthy life.

M

y sister Audrey was growing up, and I didn’t like it one bit.

Because she was older than I was, she had more privileges, like staying up later than the rest of us whenever she felt like it.

That meant I had to go to bed alone, and as hard as I tried, I could never stay awake until she climbed the stairs. And I would open my eyes to the sun pouring in the east window.

And Audrey no longer had to wear those terrible orangey-beige cotton stockings. She wore lisle with a seam up the back which I thought was the height of fashion. Although, it was only talked about in hushed tones, she also wore a bra bought right out of Eaton’s catalogue. It was called an “unmentionable,” and there was enough mystery about a girl wearing a bra that on wash day, it was even hidden under a towel when hung out on the clothesline.

My little friend on the next farm, Velma, had three older sisters, and they were already going to dances and strawberry socials, usually at the Lutheran Church, so Velma knew all there was to know about

for supper.

I was torn between the excitement of having company for Sunday supper, and dread that this was the beginning of the end to having my beloved sister all to myself. Well, there was nothing I could do about it, but I was determined not to like whoever it was. Mother wouldn’t tolerate being rude, but I certainly wouldn’t be going out of my way to be pleasant either.

Another sign that Sunday was going to be something special, was when Mother said we were to stay in our good clothes when we got home from church. The table had been set beforehand, white tablecloth, and a special effort was made to try to have all the dishes match. We had been collecting them from the puffed wheat bags we bought from Briscoe’s General Store. I must say, the old pine table sure looked nice. I had no idea who would be coming, but he must be someone special for Mother and Audrey to go to all that trouble. But I had made up my mind not to like him, regardless how highfalutin he was.

Well, finally, after Audrey kept running from the window facing the lane, and going to the mirror that hung at the back door to check her hair, a car drove into the yard.

It certainly was a few steps up from

War Museum debuts military dentistry exhibit From ‘trench mouth’ to forensics, army dentists have done it all Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

When you think of the last century of Canadian military operations, it’s the trenches of the First World War and the beaches of Normandy that first come to mind, not the fight against tooth decay.

Though dentistry plays an important role in the Canadian military, it’s been largely overlooked since the Royal Canadian Dental Corps was established 100 years ago.

The Canadian War Museum has now shed light on the country’s tradition of military dentistry via a new exhibition, which opened on May 12. Oral History – A Century of Canadian Military Dentistry traces the practice from its origins in the muddy battlefields of 1915 France to the modern, expan-

sive service it is today.

“There was some (previous) understanding that soldiers in the field required dental care, but when World War One began, they realized it would be a war of unprecedented scope, so a corps was established,” explained Canadian War Museum historian Dr. John Maker.

Early military dentists, who operated on the front lines and in field camps further behind the fighting, were trained to repair bullet and shrapnel damage to teeth and gums, as well as treat a condition known as “trench mouth.”

“The actual condition is called ‘advanced necrotizing gingivitis’, caused by excessively bad oral hygiene,” said Maker. “Fifty-thousand soldiers were treated for trench mouth during World War One. Treatment involved antiseptic

solutions, treating any rotten teeth and ensuring proper follow-up care.”

Poor dental health actually prevented soldiers from entering the military during that war, and military dentists worked hard to bring potential enlistees up to a basic standard of oral health in order for them to serve.

Not only would a toothache add to the misery of trench warfare, it would cause any solder suffering from one to become less alert, and more vulnerable.

As well, soldiers needed to be able to chew the hardtack biscuits contained in their military rations – something not possible with rotten teeth.

The museum’s exhibit recreates one of the early dental clinics, complete with period implements like a foot-powered dental drill.

Contrast is provided by an adjacent mock-up of a modern military clinic, as well as a detailed look at the surprisingly wide array of recent activities

performed by Canada’s dental corps.

Besides performing basic care on troops, military doctors have set up field clinics and training centres in impoverished areas, and assist in identifying victims of masscasualty incidents and natural disasters.

“After the crash of Swissair Flight 111 off of Nova Scotia, the armed forces deployed a team of dentists to identify human remains,” said Maker, adding that 102 victims were ultimately identified by Canadian army dentists by way of dental records. “After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, they were deployed to identify Canadian citizens.”

Countless “missing in action” soldiers were identified through dental records following the world wars, but the work didn’t end once the smoke cleared and grass returned to the battlefield. Last year, military dentists worked as forensic investigators to identify the remains of Pvt. Albert Lauben-

Beginning in the First World War, Canada’s military dentists have expanded their scope and reach in years since. Their history is now on display at the Canadian War Museum. stein, who was killed in action in Europe in 1945.

“Afterwards, his body was buried, but became lost,” said Maker. “He was discovered in June 2014 by a metal detec-

tor hobbyist. After identifying him, he was re-interred in the Netherlands this year.”

Already open to the public, the exhibition runs until Nov. 15 of this year.

Veteran Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole unveils the location of two memorials at Richmond Landing on May 12. The memorials will commemorate those who fought in the war in Afghanistan as well as Canadians who have been awarded the Victoria Cross.

Two new military memorials to come to Richmond Landing

Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Two memorials commemorating Canadian veterans are set to be built at Richmond Landing by 2017.

Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole unveiled the location of the memorials, which will pay tribute to Canadians who served in Afghanistan, as well as those who have won the Victoria Cross, on May 12.

“Ottawa is a capital city that is full of symbols,” O’Toole said at a ceremony at Richmond Landing. “Many of these symbols honour the sacrifice that have secured our parliamentary democracy, housed mere yards away.”

The National Victoria Cross Memorial and the National Memorial to Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan will

join the Royal Canadian Navy Monument at Richmond Landing, which sits near the Ottawa River, behind the Library and Archives Canada building.

The memorials will be part of a new 2.8-kilometre memorial route, stretching from the Cartier Square Drill Hall, past the Canadian War Museum and to the National War Memorial. This route is part of “long term vision plan for national military commemoration in the capital,” the National Capital Commission has developed over the last year, said Mark Kristmanson of the NCC. The NCC has committed $5 million towards Richmond Landing, which also happens to be the site where a number of soldiers disembarked after the War of 1812 and travelled up the road to found the town of Richmond.

“It’s entirely fitting this new zone of military commemoration will start here at Richmond Landing,” Kristmanson said.

More than 40,000 Cana-

dian armed forces members were deployed to Afghanistan over a 12-year period. During the mission, 158 Canadians were killed and more than 1,800 were injured.

In addition to paying tribute to soldiers, the memorials will commemorate civilians who were part of the effort to rebuild the war-torn country, officials said.

“Whether it’s in Kandahar or in Calgary, if a man or woman serving their country is injured or falls in the line of duty, we will remember them,” O’Toole said.

Instituted by Queen Victoria in 1856, the Victoria Cross is the highest combat award in the country’s military and 99 Canadians have been given the medal.

All of their names will all be on the Victoria Cross memorial.

The government plans to launch a design competition in the coming months for the memorials and expects they will be built by 2017, for the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation.

Ottawa MPP hopes to eliminate microbeads Chris Whan whan0012@algonquinlive.com

The Ottawa River ecosystem is under attack and the Ontario government is coming to its defence with a new bill that seeks to eliminate the use of microbeads in cosmetics.

Ottawa-Orleans MPP Marie-France Lalonde has introduced a private member’s bill to the Ontario legislature to outlaw the use of microbeads in cosmetics after it’s been found they have a profoundly negative effect on the Great Lakes and other waterways, including the Ottawa river.

The tiny beads, often employed to exfoliate skin, are too small for water purification filters to catch, so they end up in our lakes and rivers.

“Microbeads are appearing all over the Great Lakes, destroying habitat, fish and wildlife,” said Mark Mattson, an environmental lawyer and president of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper. “They needlessly contaminate our food and water supply.”

Lalonde said the issue of the impact of microbeads is one that was brought to her by constituents soon after her election.

“This legislation is important in order to protect our drinking water, our health, marine diversity, and more,” Lalonde said.

“Considering other countries, other Great Lakes states, and many manufacturers have al-

ready committed to phasing out the use of microbeads, I believe it is time for Ontario to be the first province in Canada to take action.”

The Ottawa River is one environment that would be affected by this bill. The products that Lalonde seeks to ban can and are having a large effect on the ecosystem.

Typically, private member’s bills have difficulty making it through the legislature but with the support this bill is getting and the belief that the environment minister is on board, Lalonde, believes the bill will pass.

The bill is not without its contentions. During second reading, PC MPP Lisa M. Thompson brought forth discrepancies found in the bill, including that no cosmetic companies were consulted whilst this bill was being drafted, and adding that these companies are already on track to remove microbeads from their products.

“Eliminating microbeads is something that has been happening for years within the industry,” said Thompson. “It is unfortunate that the member from Ottawa-Orléans would not know this because she consulted with next to no industry at all. In speaking to the Canadian Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, who represent over 150 companies, I’m sad to say that they were not consulted on this piece of important legislation that will

impact their industry. In fact, the companies that they work with have already committed to eliminating microbeads by 2018, with elimination of the products on the shelf by 2019.”

Contrary to that, Lalonde says she has been in contact with the CCTFA and says that they are behind her in this endeavour to eliminate the beads.

“The industry and the environmentalists are on the same page in respect to the ban on microbeads,” said Lalonde.

Lalonde hopes that she can work alongside the federal government to eliminate microbeads from Canadian waterways. The federal arm would take control of the import of the product by putting the beads on a “cosmetics materials hotlist” and the province would ban the beads outright from being sold here.

If the federal government would pass a bill to outlaw the import of microbeads, Lalonde says the provincial Liberals would amend and line up bill 75 to fit with the federal law.

Groups such as Environmental Defense, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and Ottawa Riverkeeper have brought the issue to the federal level .The groups have submitted a formal request to Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq to place microbeads on the Priority Substance List which, if accepted, would prompt a review to see whether microbeads can be classified as a toxic substance. Recently,

SUBMITTED

Ottawa MPP Marie-France Lalonde has introduced a private member’s bill to prohibit the use of microbeads in cosmetics. the Conservative government put $7 million into research on the effect microbeads have on Canada’s waterways.

“The chemical management plan brought forth by our gov-

ernment will prioritize microbeads for assessment, which will benefit all Canadians,” said Colin Carrie, parliamentary secretary to Aglukkaq. “Our government supports including

the issue of microbeads on the agenda of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment meeting this summer.”

City’s water rate structure to change Emma Jackson

SSimon Whit eld - four-time Olympic triathlete, Olympic gold and silver medallisst and and Pan Am Games bronze medallist.

The way Ottawa residents pay for water and sewer use could change next year as the city scrambles to pay for $2.7 billion in infrastructure upgrades over the coming decade.

The city’s overall water consumption has dropped 30 per cent since 2002, generating less of the revenue needed to fund renewal projects, according to deputy city treasurer Isabelle Jasmin.

That has prompted the environment committee to ask staff to come up with a new rate structure that can better support the system going forward.

The current structure charges urban residents about $1.7 per cubic metre of water, with no fixed base charge. Sewer charges are another 117 per cent of that usage. Bi-monthly

bills average about $137 per household, Jasmin said.

Right now, revenues are entirely tied to consumption – and that’s a problem, considering the city’s overall water consumption has dropped to 1980 levels in the past decade.

From a water conservation perspective, it’s a good thing.

But it’s taking a toll on city coffers: the city received $20 million less in water revenues than it expected to in 2014 alone, Jasmin said.

That revenue cut comes just as the city is gearing up for 10 years of major water and sewer infrastructure renewal -- $2.7 billion of it by 2022. That’s a capital investment of about $250 million most years, Jasmin said, up from the current average of about $135 million.

To make sure the city has enough money to keep the water system able to handle peak demands at the height of the

summer, a structural change in how the city charges for water is needed, she said.

There are a few ways to do this.

Some Ontario municipalities use a volume-only system that charges a higher rate as your usage goes up (Ottawa currently charges the same rate no matter what).

But most major North American cities – including 15 of Ontario’s largest 25 municipalities – combine a volumebased charge with a fixed base fee. Jasmin said this system combines “stability with flexibility.”

These systems can be further broken down to charge different rates for residential, commercial and industrial users.

Public consultation is planned for this fall, and Jasmin said she expects staff to recommend a new structure in early 2016.

Feds would have more control if beads classified as toxic Continued from page 55

If microbeads are indeed classified as a toxic substance it can give the federal government control over their use under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 which can include an outright ban.

“We need to do something about the growing problem of microbeads building up in our waterways and lakes,” said Nancy Goucher, water program manager with Environmental Defence. “Various U.S. states are already proposing bans, several large cosmetics companies are voluntarily doing phase-outs, and there are plenty of safe alternatives available. It’s time for Canada to take action as well.”

According to the groups bringing forth the request, microbeads can cause fish to starve and destroy habitat. The tiny beads are too small for water purification filters to catch so they end up in our lakes and

rivers.

Cosmetic companies from all over the world have pledged to eliminate microbeads in their products. Companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Target, Avon and Crest have all pledged to have the tiny beads out of their products by the end of 2015.

“We are aware of the microbead topic and have taken steps to address it,” said Target in a 2014 statement. “Within our owned brand products, we have been working with our vendors to remove microbeads.”

In MPP Lalonde’s case, the act she introduced to the Ontario Legislature would take the power out of the federal government’s hands and make Ontario the first jurisdiction in Canada to outlaw microbeads.

Lalonde cites what the state of Illinois is doing in its fight against microbeads as inspiration for her Ontario bill. The state has banned microbeads in cosmetics and is urging other

states to do the same.

CCTFA president and CEO Darren Praznik is hopeful that this bill will pass and says the association is advocating the federal government to follow suit. He says that if the federal government can add microbeads to the “cosmetics hotlist” then there would be a consistent level of inspection across the country. The problem, he states, is with “off-brand” products that are primarily manufactured and shipped out of Asia. They aren’t a part of the CCTFA so they aren’t held to the same standards as members.

Members of the association are all for eliminating the beads said Praznik; it’s the first time ever that industry and government are advocating for the same regulations throughout.

“Our history is that we haven’t worked well together,” said Praznik. “It’s laid the ground work for tougher issues in the future.”

Pet Adoptions Meet Joey (ID#A176281), an energetic Boston terrier/Boxer mix looking for his new best friend. If Joey were a person, he would be a clown because he loves to make people smile. He is pretty cute to look at, but it’s his enthusiastic and endearing nature that makes him such a special dog. Although he’s a year old, Joey still acts like a puppy and he loves to burn off energy with his favourite toys. Joey likes learning new skills, so he enjoys puzzle and food dispensing toys that let him exercise his brain. Joey is still practising his obedience skills, so he’d benefit from a patient owner who can guide him through new situations. Joey wants to be your one and only, so he’d prefer an adult home with no other pets.

For more information on Prince and Jester 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.

JOey (ID#A176281)

If you care, leave them there As the temperature warms, wildlife becomes more active and birthing season soon follows. Humans start to go outdoors more and the wildlife/ people conflict begins to heat up too.

The most obvious sign is the carnage on our roadways that we begin to witness. The sign here at the OHS is the influx of wild animals. Sadly, many of these creatures will be juveniles that would have been safer had they been left where they were. There simply aren’t enough rehabilitation spaces for all the wildlife in our region, and most didn’t need our help in the first place.

Stumbling upon a baby animal that appears to need help brings out a helping instinct in all of us but spotting a baby animal by himself doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an orphan. Many wildlife parents leave their young alone during the day, sometimes for long periods. The mother is usually nearby and quite conscious of her young.

Also, keep in mind that despite their small size, many young animals are actually independent enough to fend for themselves.

How you tell if an animal needs your help or should be left alone? If an animal needs your help, you will see

one or more of the following signs: • A wild animal presented to you by a cat or dog • Bleeding • An apparent or obvious broken limb • Evidence of a dead parent nearby • Unusual or uneven loss of fur • Difficult or raspy breathing or sneezing • Body covered in fleas Otherwise, please, if you care, leave him there.

For more information about wildlife and human wildlife conflicts, please visit the OHS website at www. ottawahumane.ca before you act.

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:

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your sign pulls back this week and you may focus more on the artistic or spiritual. It can be a highly intuitive time of self-reflection for you.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you have been backtracking over past decisions, it’s time to look at things again with a clear perspective -- even if that means you need some advice from a third party.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you achieve some financial stability this week and enjoy the opportunity to breathe easy. Don’t go overboard, but reward yourself for your financial discipline.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 There is much career energy coming your way, Cancer. You may find yourself with more job offers than you ever thought to entertain. This is not a time to sit back and let things slide.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Beauty and balance are brought into your life, Leo. Use the opportunity to brighten up your space with some decorating or a welcome change of scenery.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may have more energy than you know what to do with this week. Find a way to funnel it into a creative or worthwhile endeavor, like volunteer work.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Relationships will be a major high point for you this week, Libra. Every friendship or romance you have is irresistible and compelling at the present time.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your health and career continue to be your top priorities. You have a sense of urgency to get in better shape. It may be possible to combine your goals.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You are beyond magnetic this week, Sagittarius. If someone didn’t want to be your friend before, they certainly do now. Expect to be swarmed with attention.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, others describe you as feisty and fun this week. With boundless energy, you bring your own party to each and every situation. Enjoy the rush.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Communication doesn’t seem to be coming easily for you, Aquarius.

You know what you want and can’t voice it successfully. Take some time to plan what you want to say.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a major financial event is on the horizon, but you’re not sure if it is a windfall or a burden. Only time will tell.
