Heron food centre appeals for people to step up and walk Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

September can’t come soon enough for volunteers at the Heron Emergency Food Centre where emergency food supplies are helping feed a growing and record

number of people, many of them refugees.

That month, a small group of people will come together to donate their time for the centre’s annual five-kilometre walkathon.

Residents will be consulted on what they’d like to see, but can expect something similar to what’s available at the Minto Recreation Complex in Barrhaven, Qaqish said.

The overall community design plan features a type of downtown for Riverside South just southwest of Earl Armstrong and Limebank roads.

In addition to a Main Street, parkette and boutique shops and cafes, there is potential for a library and a community centre within the community core.

The planning document also maps out residential neighbourhoods, employment lands to the northeast, a rapid-transit corridor, multi-use pathway network and up to 12-storey residential towers around transit stations.

Qaqish told Metroland Media that the city will be getting the land essentially at half price.

A memorandum of understanding states that the city will purchase the land for $4.9 million, then receive $2.9 million from the developers.

Walkathon support needed to feed soaring number of refugees Continued from page 1

But given the soaring demand for food, largely due to a spike in the number of new Canadians, including Syrian refugees, funds raised through the event are even more urgently needed.

“People are very committed to the food bank,” said Lynn Sherwood, a volunteer board member with the Herongate-based centre, which was established in 1987. “It’s a small group of people who turn out every year and do the job.”

But walkathon organizers are now trying to spread the word about the fundraiser in hopes of enticing more people to participate and collect pledges. Typically, about 15 people walk the route, though others help out by donating.

The walk generates $8,000 to $9,000 a year, helping the centre balance its budget and help tie people over.

But more walkers are needed.

“It’s a big job for so few people,” said Sherwood.

“We want to try and create a sustained awareness of what’s happening and of the need for funds.”

April was a record month with almost 2,000 people coming through the centre’s doors, including 87 seniors and 751 children and youth under the age of 18.

May saw the number decrease to 1,805 people,

The centre’s board of directors is appealing for participants to take part in its September walkathon. largely attributed to the availability of seasonal springtime jobs. Of those clients, more than 1,000 were adults, 608 were kids and there were 97 infants.

But that number is still high and is up from last year.

The number of refugees, many of them governmentsponsored, relying on the centre for assistance today is climbing by about 40 to 50 every month. There was a total of 621 in February, and it was the same again in March.

Many have limited English. To help, the food centre scrambled to find eight Arabic-speaking volunteers who could help translate when people came in for donated food. Before

the numbers swelled, the centre relied on just two.

In the search for more funding, the centre’s board members unsuccessfully turned to the city to ask for an increase to the $35,000 provided each year to help offset overhead costs. They have been met with the same response from other levels of government.

What that means is having to rely more heavily on individual donations, food brought in from the Ottawa Food Bank and support the centre receives from area churches and other groups, such as hockey teams, Scouts and schools.

Even before the recent spike, frozen orange juice was no longer given out starting last November in

their holiday concerts.

As well, Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier sponsored an e-waste recycling day at Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre on June 25, and partial proceeds from the event went to the food centre.

“Some people are good hearts and they really, really care, and they feel helpless,” Sherwood. “The food bank is a way for them to demonstrate, in a concrete fashion, that they can give somebody some-

order to cut costs.

“We were running a deficit and we had to make economies,” Sherwood said.

But given the increasing demand, the worry remains that if additional funds can’t be raised then more food items will have to be cut from the hampers.

“If we don’t get it we can’t feed them,” Sherwood said, adding that diapers are also needed. “What we’d have to do is cut back on what we give them.”

More food donations, especially fresh fruit and vegetables, are expected to come in later this summer as people bring in excess produce from their gardens. The Ottawa Food Bank also supplies fresh food through its community farm project.

Food is also collected at local grocery stores, and members of churches in the area can be counted on, especially at Christmas when they generate donations for the food centre during

thing somebody something to eat.”

The walkathon takes place Sept. 24 at 9 a.m. at St. Thomas the Apostle Anglican Church in Alta Vista. To register for the event and to pick up a pledge sheet, go to the Heron Road Community Centre, at 1480 Heron Rd.

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Happy Canada Day May I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Happy Canada Day! As we celebrate Canada’s 149th birthday, let us never take for granted how fortunate we are to live in the greatest nation on Earth, and the sacrifices made on our behalf to ensure we enjoy the life we have today. Please note that free public transit will be offered on all OC Transpo and Para Transpo routes on July 1, ending at 3am on July 2.

Festivals at/near Mooney’s Bay With last week’s successful Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival now behind us, and July about to commence, the major summer festivals that visit Mooney’s Bay or nearby are mere weeks away. The HOPE Beach Volleyball Festival will be held on Saturday July 16, closely followed by the Ottawa Lebanese Festival from July 20-24. JamDay, a celebration of everything Jamaican will be held at Mooney’s Bay on Saturday August 6. Month long parking restrictions are already in effect within Riverside Park North and Ottawa Bylaw patrol the community during the festivals to respond to parking and excessive noise violations. Residents are encouraged to call 3-1-1 to register concerns with Ottawa Bylaw and I will also follow-up on every matter that is brought to my attention. The summer festivals add a positive vibe and cultural diversity to our community and City which I support, but I also expect that the nearby residential community will be respected by our guests as well.

St. Patrick’s High outdoor classroom named in honour of retiring teacher Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new outdoor classroom designed to provide St. Patrick’s Catholic High School students with a green oasis in the heart of urban Ottawa is the product of the environmental thinking of long-time teacher Helen Zettel.

Her touches are all over the space at the south end of the property at Alta Vista and Heron roads, and now her name is too – much to her surprise.

Zettel was caught off guard on June 27 when her coworkers revealed that the space is now the Helen Zettel Learning Circle.

The school’s world religion teacher is set to retire, but the improvements she has made at St. Pat’s will continue to be felt.

See HER, page 5

Norberry Residences Planned Expansion Recently I met with representatives of the Norberry Residences, a 4-apartment building complex on Norberry Crescent and Springland Drive in Riverside Park regarding their intention to build additional units on the existing property. The owner requested a public information session be held in July, however, I rejected that request given the number of residents who are expected to be away on vacation. The tentative date for the public information session is booked for Thursday September 8. Detailed information, development plans and meeting location/time will be circulated in advance by mail to nearby residents and in this newspaper.

Wading Pool Schedules have been Amended The City of Ottawa has adjusted wading pool hours to allow for evening water fun on Tuesdays and Thursdays, city wide. Depending on the site, the pools may be open from Noon- 7pm. These revised hours are to allow families more time, particularly in the early evening, to enjoy the local wading pool together. For a detailed list of River Ward’s wading pools, hours, and summer festivals at our pools, please contact my office for a complete listing.

Dogs in Parks, Dogs in Public Owners of dogs are kindly reminded to be in control of your dog(s) in public on all occasions. My office has received a number of concerns recently, and Ottawa Bylaw will be increasing their patrols in local parks over the summer.

Retiring St. Patrick’s Catholic High School teacher Helen Zettel, far right, was surprised on June 27 by a ceremony revealing that a new outdoor classroom at the school — which she helped create — has been named the Helen Zettel Learning Circle. Teacher Katherine Martin, left, organized the ceremony, and Grade 9 students Sana Musa, 15, and Brooke-Lynne Attie, 15, presented Zettel with an eco-friendly gift.

‘Her passion for eco schools is unmatched’ Continued from page 4

“We’re hoping this circle represents a continuation of the spirit that she’s left us with, her outdoor education and her passion,” said Katherine Martin, a St. Pat’s teacher who assists Zettel with the school’s eco club.

The outdoor classroom was once a plain field, but has been transformed with trees, large flat-topped boulders where students can sit, a treelined pathway from the school to an OC Transpo bus stop and an ornamental Canadian grass garden on a small bluff that will, as the grasses grow, provide a visual and sound barrier to the traffic on Heron Road.

One corner with a small thicket of trees has been designed to provide students with a place where they can retreat and seek solace.

Classes have been held in the green space since the spring, and it’s proven so popular that a booking system will be established.

a new raised-bed vegetable garden at the school’s tennis courts and a sugar bush.

“We have to bring rural into the cities, otherwise we’re not going to appreciate it,” said Zettel. “We can recover (the planet’s health) so quickly with so little effort.”

She also singlehandedly helped St. Pat’s earn platinum eco school certification earlier this month, the first school to do so within the Ottawa

Catholic School Board, Martin said.

“Her passion for eco schools is unmatched by anyone I’ve ever met,” she said.

“You can tell it’s not just a job for her. It’s her passion.”

But Zettel said the credit lies with the school community.

“If it wasn’t for them and their commitment, we wouldn’t be here today,” Zettel said.

Look inside for the ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

As St. Patrick’s Catholic High School students, staff, teacher Katherine Martin, far left, and principal Brid McDonald, far right, look on, retiring teacher Helen Zettel cuts the ribbon at the school’s new outdoor classroom. The new space has been named in her honour as the Helen Zettel Learning Circle.

“It really caught on quickly,” Martin said.

“It offers more opportunity than what the indoor classroom can offer,” she said, adding that nature has been integrated in outdoor lessons, and

the natural setting has helped kids focus on the subjects being taught. “I think we’re recognizing more and more that education can be really enriching outdoors,” said Martin.

Zettel was also the driving

force behind many of the eco initiatives developed at St. Patrick’s over the years since she began teaching there in 1992.

She spearheaded the installation of water-bottle filling stations and rooftop solar panels,

There was a 92 per cent jump in calls to the city’s fraud and waste hotline last year and 2016 is tracking in the same direction, according to the city’s Auditor General Ken Hughes.

That’s an increase in 2015 up to 319 calls, from 166 that were made in 2014.

The annual report on the hotline was released to the city’s audit committee on June 20.

Hughes said the spike in calls is likely due to increasing confidence that reports to the hotline actually leads to action at city hall.

“They know their reports will be taken seriously and have faith in the anonymity,” Hughes said.

And that faith has paid off.

Six city employees fired Continued from page 6

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais asked Hughes if there is a breakdown of costs to other departments for investigating the claims.

But several committee members said it’s in the city’s best interests to ferret out any wrongdoing, no matter the scale of the wrongdoing or the cost.

“I think the cost of not doing anything is higher,” said West Carleton Coun.

Eli El-Chantiry.

Kanata South Coun. and committee chair Allan Hubley said if someone gets away with stealing $50, they’re likely to try it again.

“These investigations are in the taxpayer’s best interests,” he said.

The investigations don’t always deal with missing property or money.

One employee was fired after it was determined they had falsified information in a provincial database to hide the fact that work wasn’t being completed.

Another employee was

fired after taking sick leave to work another job. One worker got the boot after not showing up to work after not being able to find a colleague to cover a planned vacation.

“These investigations are in the taxpayer’s best interests.”

COUN. ALLAN HUBLEY

While the calls to the hotline continue to increase, the budget shrinks.

There are eight staff members in the Office of the Auditor General, two full-time auditors handle the fraud and waste hotline.

The numbers suggest that the work takes up 25 per cent of what the office does.

According to the statistics compiled by Hughes, Ottawa has the lowest budget for an auditor’s office in Canada, and that

budget has shrunk incrementally each year since 2009.

Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson broached the idea of looking at the budget, since the call volume remains high.

But Hughes said he knows the city’s budget is tight and there are other things vying for city money.

City manager Steve Kanellakos said the majority of city staff are great workers, but said he takes a hard line with those who abuse the system.

Kanellakos said a lot of the tips came from fellow workers, who expect their superiors to deal with the situation.

The top six categories for complaints to the fraud and waste hotline in 2015 were: • 84 calls: Unauthorized use or misuse of city property, information or time • 39: Violation of laws, regulations, policies or procedures • 26: Unethical conduct or conflict of interest

LIQUIDATION SALE RIDEAU AUCTIONS INC.

• 24: Suggestions for improvement • 21: Theft, embezzlement or fraud • 7: Health, safety, environment As part of the committee meeting, Hughes also tabled a report on recommendations around the cash handling practices of

the city’s Service Ontario client service centres.

The recommendations, there are 26 in total, came as a result of cash discrepancies at the city hall location, totalling $1,075 in July of last year.

Kanellakos said that the service locations

handle $1 million in cash annually, and while the missing money is troubling, it’s a fraction of the overall cash handled each year.

He added many of the auditor’s recommendations surrounding cash and change floats are already in place.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Be the bigger nation W

ith Canada Day here, it’s worth reviewing all the reasons why we should be thankful.

We’re at peace. We have order.

And most Canadians – based on recent elections – would agree we have good government.

We have been battered a bit by a drop in oil revenue, but Canada appears very capable of moving forward.

We have a federal government that is making a growing middle class a priority.

We have federal unity.

The system works well. When one part of Canada sees good times, it shares the wealth with others. When one province is hurting, the others are there to help.

In good times or in bad, it’s best to have many friends. Being part of something big helps smooth out the ups and down of an economy.

Clearly we are better when we are part of something larger.

Our forbearers figured that out in 1867. We’ve only added provinces since then; never subtracted.

We can today look across the Atlantic to see a United Kingdom that has voted to leave the European Union.

That was a vote from the heart, not the brain.

As a smaller economic block, the U.K. will enjoy good times and bad times, but the extremes will no longer be so smooth.

There is already talk of further splintering; a possible referendum in Scotland, and a united Ireland – with Northern Ireland joining the Republic of Ireland – could mean the U.K. is just England and Wales. How long then until Wales wants to go it alone?

From this side of the Atlantic, the division of Europe could spur some in Canada to think with their hearts too.

But now is the time to sit back and watch what all this division will mean for newly created smaller economies that begin operating independently.

We have been delivered an opportunity to watch the results of the experiment.

We wish the U.K. the best of luck, but we remain here the bigger nation.

Enjoying the game without a soundtrack

T

here are signs that big-time baseball could happen again in Ottawa.

And there are also signs that Ottawa is not quite ready for it.

The turnout for the Father’s Day weekend games between the Ottawa Champions and the Cuban National Team was outstanding — more than 5,000 per game — bringing to mind the mid ’90s, when the Ottawa Lynx made the stadium on Coventry Road the place to be. The attendance even exceeded the last year’s big weekend when the Winnipeg Goldeyes were in town.

The stadium was up to the challenge. Food lines were not too long, staff were friendly and helpful, alternative parking across the street helped ease the strain on RCGT Stadium’s shrunken lot.

What doesn’t work, and needs

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town to be fixed if baseball is ever to become a major factor in Ottawa again, is the road system leading to the ballpark. The bridge over the Queensway at Riverside and the Vanier Parkway was horribly congested with cars converging from all directions. That needs to be fixed somehow. Yes, you could take the bus, but in order for that to happen, bus service has to be made more convenient for more people.

Once inside, however, all troubles were forgotten. The weather was beautiful, which is all-important in this town. The fans could

choose between sun and shade.

They liked the between-innings stunts. The scoreboard works.

The announcing is bilingual. The umpiring was fine.

After the Sunday game, kids were allowed to run the bases and fathers were allowed out on the field to play catch with their sons, daughters and grandchildren, a nice touch.

And the quality of baseball continues to be excellent. Inning after inning, plays of major-league calibre were made and the fans appreciated it.

Adding to the flavour of the game was a section along the right-field line full of Cuban fans with drums of all sorts and a solitary but spirited trombone. They brought a cheerful and rhythmic intensity to the proceedings.

Unfortunately they were too often drowned out by loud outbursts,

musical and otherwise, from the stadium sound system.

Which brings up a suggestion, one I’m sure I’m not the only one to make. How about a game with no artificial noise, no recorded music, no electronic prompts to fans to MAKE SOME NOISE. Then we could hear the game, listen to the players’ chatter, maybe even converse with our neighbours. Just try it once, see if people like it.

Last summer, I had a chance to talk with the stadium organist at Fenway Park in Boston.

I had noticed that the fans were never ordered to make noise and I asked about that. I was told it was a deliberate decision, when Fenway’s new scoreboard was installed, to avoid that sort of thing. Boston fans, the thinking went, were knowledgeable enough to know when to cheer.

I would hope we are too, not just in baseball but in all sports.

games find the noise level annoying, not to mention difficult for small children. And they wonder why there is a need to pump artificial excitement into an already exciting event. Baseball, a reflective game with a lower adrenaline level than hockey, actually benefits from a sense of calm.

Community newspaper readership remains strong in Ottawa and Valley, report shows Community newspapers are alive and well across eastern Ontario. New research conducted by BrandSpark International confirms it.

The Community Newspaper Impact Report, conducted in partnership with Metroland Media, found that 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed have read at least one of the last four issues of their Metroland Media community newspaper. That rate includes the nine papers in Ottawa and another six in the Valley.

Even more encouraging, 90 per cent of young adults surveyed aged 18-34 across Metroland’s east region report reading their community paper as much or more now than they did a year ago.

That number climbs to 93 per cent among all adults surveyed.

“There is unquestionably a lot of discussion around the role of newspapers in the modern era, and the future of newspapers as a medium,” said Mark Baltazar, Vice President and Partner at BrandSpark International. “But it’s clear from this research that the community news format – free newspapers and websites focused on hyperlocal news – plays a major role in people’s lives.”

According to the findings, more Ontarians surveyed identified community newspapers as the most involved entity in their community.

“Community newspapers, whether in print or online, provide a unique service in Ontario, offering community-level news and information that consumers can’t find anywhere else,” explained Michelle Digulla, Vice-President of Marketing at Metroland Media.

“Not only is that leading to high levels of trust and engagement, but it’s motivating our readers to take action based on what they see in our properties.”

In fact, 77 per cent of the community newspaper readers surveyed agreed that the content of those papers drove them to take action – either visiting a store, buying something, telling someone about a “great deal or product” or going to a website to learn more.

Further, the report found: • 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed believe their community newspaper or local news website connects them to their community, • printed flyers and promotional materials are used by 81 per cent of respondents to get local shopping information, ahead of store websites (71 per cent) and emails from stores or companies (68 per cent), • more than 7 in 10 (71 per cent) Ontarians surveyed indicated their community newspaper has a positive impact on their local community.

The Community Newspaper Impact Report is the second phase of a major research study undertaken by BrandSpark and Metroland.

The first wave of results were published in the Community Newspaper Readership Report in February 2016 and included the following findings: • the typical issue is read twice (2.22 times), and kept in the house for an average of almost four days (3.65 days), • a Metroland community newspaper is most commonly read by two adults in every household, • an average of 22 minutes is spent reading every issue of the community newspaper and any enclosed flyers.

More than 13,000 adults within Metroland’s circulation footprint across Ontario were surveyed online and by phone for the study, which was conducted from Nov. 24, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2016. The

study focused on readership for the more than 100 local websites and community newspapers (including flyers) published across Ontario by Metroland Media, such as the Kanata Kourier-Standard and Ottawa East News. The margin of error is +/-0.85 per cent.

How to counteract bad behaviour

C

an you describe your worst day, the one that puts you in a state of anger, despair or exhaustion?

Mine comes in the form of sitting in isolation. Not a great testimony for someone who makes a good portion of her living hunched over a keyboard in a dim room.

Lack of movement, lack of social connection, my brain in overdrive trying to make decisions – all these things culminate into a bad mood, and often bad behaviour.

According to York University research professor Dr. Stuart Shanker, I’m not alone.

All the things I describe above are putting stress on me, which is why I get so cranky by the end of some days. Instead of allowing myself to succumb to the bad mood, however, Shanker has a system that may just help me to avoid the mood in the first place, or at least to defuse my temper tantrum before it begins.

Shanker is the creator of a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse five-step process called “SelfReg,” designed to help us as individuals, parents and teachers to regulate rather than simply control our behaviour. The executive director of MEHRIT, Shanker has used his Self-Reg system to help teachers better respond to bad behaviour in the classroom. In June, the Eastern Ontario-based father of two, released a book by the same title.

In Self-Reg, short for selfregulation, Shanker notes that kids – and adults – are exposed to a number of hidden stressors that can affect their mood and behaviour. These stressors can be environmental, physical, social, pro-social, cogni-

tive or biological.

At the core of the process, says Shanker, adults must attempt to relate to children to help them discover the root cause of the stress – say, for example, feeling left out at school or finding it difficult to complete tasks in the allotted time.

Too often a disciplinary focus revolves around self-control, forcing kids to conform and deal with existing stress, without helping them understand how to counteract it.

In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Shanker notes that boredom is one of those things frequently misunderstood. “I’m bored,” is often a

child’s response to over-stimulation in various parts of the body, causing a cortisol spike.

“What it really means is ‘I feel yucky.’ It’s an expression of ‘I’ve got too much cortisol in the system and I’m really stressed,’” Shanker told the Globe.

Shanker explains that kids need to know how to be calm instead of bored, engaging in energy-replenishing activities like playing in nature, doing sports or art.

Individuals respond differently to stress. Stress could as easily come in the form of social conflict – bullying or a fight with a friend. Depending on the child, they could exhibit bad behaviour when they’re on deadline to complete schoolwork in an allotted time.

The key is learning to help the children recognize the stressors and take moves to self-regulate in a positive way, something even adults need to work on in this highly-scheduled, high tech world.

Pizza for Parkinson’s Fundraiser To support Parkinson Canada and its work in Ottawa, I will be holding my Pizza for Parkinson’s fundraiser once again. During the entire month of July, local businesses Boston Pizza (2980 Conroy Rd.), KS on the Keys (1029 Dazé St.) and Milano Pizzeria (2430 Bank St.) will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of large pizzas to Parkinson Canada.

Parkinson’s affects over 100,000 Canadians and is a serious, progressive, neurological condition that affects motor skills and can also cause cognitive changes.

For more information on Parkinson’s and how you can assist, please visit parkinsons.ca. By supporting Parkinson Canada you will help to provide essential services to members of the Ottawa community who are living with the disease and to those caring for them.

I encourage residents to stop by these businesses and enjoy some pizza for this important cause!

Calzavara Park Splash Pad Opening With summer in full force, I’m pleased to announce that the Calzavara Park Splash Pad’s grand opening will be on Tuesday, July 12 from 1 to 3 p.m. This park and splash pad are valuable additions to our community and will be enjoyed by young residents for years to come.

The event will take place at Calzavara Family Park at 1602 Blohm Dr, rain or shine. Bring your swimsuit and join your neighbours for an afternoon of music, refreshments, face painting, balloon animals and more!

Public Meeting: Albion-Heatherington Community Centre Kitchen As part of the federal Canada 150 Infrastructure Program, I was able to secure funding for a new community kitchen in the Albion-Heatherington Community Centre!

Residents are invited to come and review the proposed design and provide feedback on this very exciting project.

The meeting will be held on Thursday, July 14 at the multi-purpose room of the Albion-Heatherington Community Centre (1560 Heatherington Rd) at 6 p.m. with a formal presentation at 6:30 p.m.

A bid to ban hookahs and water pipes from public places is a step further along thanks to approval by the Ottawa Board of Health on June 20.

The work on the ban began in November.

Gillian Connelly, manager of health promotion for public health, said staff conducted consultation with stakeholders, which included five out of the 15 hookah cafes that currently operate in the city.

“Most preferred enhanced regulation around ventilation, special licenses or only allowing in people over the age of 19 over an outright ban,” Connelly said.

The recommendation was originally to start warning businesses Dec. 1, and then begin charging offending businesses in April 2017.

Hookah smokers enjoy the day at Mooney’s Bay Park. The park is a very popular place with those who enjoy partaking in hookah. A bid to ban hookahs and water pipes from public places is a step closer after approval by the Ottawa Board of Health on June 20.

Councillor pushes forward enforcement stage Continued from page 12

But Rideau-Vanier Coun.

Mathieu Fleury said the city should move forward more quickly, successfully putting forward a motion that would see charges begin in the new year.

At the same time as Ottawa Public Health debated the issue, Mayor Jim Watson was attending the Vanier Community Association’s annual general meeting. When asked about whether he was concerned about the amount of vape shops and marijuana shops popping up on Montreal Road between North River Road and the Vanier Parkway, Watson said the issue has challenges — specifically to the use of medical marijuana — but when it comes to vaping he was clear.

“Smoking is smoking and we all know smoking kills people,” he told the group.

Mustafa Coja, of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, said the major problem is the increasing popular-

ity of hookahs among young people.

A study he presented to the board, showed that 13 per cent of grades 7-12 students have used hookahs at least once in the past year.

The same study said that 14 per cent of high school students have used one in the past year.

A single hookah session, which Coja said typically lasts 45 minutes, has 6.5 times more carbon monoxide and 46 times more tar than a single cigarette.

“Cafes help to reinforce the misconception of reduced harm,” he said. “An

average hookah session can lead to inhaling 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from one cigarette.”

The only real difference is that one contains nicotine,

once the bylaw is in place, but in Toronto, a first offence is usually around $300. The fine could be given to either the business owner, an individual or both.

The community and protective services committee has to approve the plan next, then the item would go to council for final approval.

It’s likely to take until late August or early September.

Once a bylaw is in place, staff would begin educating business owners on the new rules, Connelly said.

step further and licence vape shops.

“The city must deal with the explosion of unlicensed vape shops,” she said, adding some are close to schools in her neighbourhood.

Connelly said the ban on hookahs and water pipes is a first step. She said there are still gaps at the provincial level, which include advertising and the ability to sell without a vendor permit.

Staff said they’d have to apply to the Attorney General for the ability to fine

Big ride, big dream Max Sedmihradsky, 5, and his dad, Andrew, prep their bike on Parliament Hill on June 25 before heading out on their second annual 600-kilometre Big Ride to their hometown of Hamilton. They hoped to once again raise important research dollars and raise awareness about Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a degenerative stem cell disease that impairs muscle repair and development. Max was diagnosed with the condition, which primarily impacts boys, when he was two years old. To donate or for details, visit maxsbigride.com.

CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN As the MPP for Ottawa South, I am proud to announce that Ontario has released a new action plan for tackling the important issue of climate change. This plan charts a course for an innovative, lowcarbon economy to build a cleaner future for generations to come.

In addition, this plan will provide people and businesses with tools and incentives to accelerate the use of clean technology and allow the province to continue to reduce greenhouse gas pollution.

At left: Dragon boat teams made plenty of noise as they raced along the waters of Mooney’s Bay during the annual dragon boat festival held June 23-26.

The plan outlines the key actions the government will take to combat the issue of climate change, while also creating good jobs in clean tech and construction, increasing consumer choice, and generating opportunities for investment in Ontario. This plan will also serve as the backbone to Ontario’s strategy to cut greenhouse gas pollution to 15 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, 37 per cent by 2030 and 80 per cent by 2050.

The Climate Change Action Plan builds on Ontario’s leadership in the fight against climate change and is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs.

Lorna Vanderhaeghe Canada’s leading women’s natural health expert

Belly fat is a stubborn problem. No end of sit-ups and crunches make it disappear. We know there is a connection between our expanding waistlines and our hormones. Insulin is a powerful hormone that, when in excess, causes belly fat and an elevation in circulating male hormones in women, causing facial hair growth and acne too.

Thankfully, busting belly fat and normalizing insulin just got easier. GLUCOsmart containing Chirositol™ has been researched in over 30 studies at the Virginia Medical School, showing it aids weight loss and stops sugar cravings. But where GLUCOsmart really shines is in fighting belly fat in both men and women.

Para Transpo Improvements The Transit Commission approved changes to the way Para Transpo provides service and could expand ridership by as many as 2,000 clients now that persons with developmental and mental health disabilities may qualify. Last year, the Commission hosted public consultations to review Para Transit’s booking and eligibility criteria. 72 per cent of respondents agreed with expanding eligibility for Para Transpo to people with developmental or mental health disabilities which prevent them from using conventional transportation. Transit Commission agreed that the day-before cancellation requirement should be dropped. The proposed change will now give riders three hours to cancel pre-booked trips. A new “temporarily eligible” category is being proposed for riders recovering from major surgery or who require it for a brief period of time. Riders who were denied use of Para Transpo needed to appeal directly to OC Transpo. Now, a new independent appeals panel has been proposed with members including the General Manager of Transit Services and the Chief Medical Officer of Health, or their designates, and a customer with a disability who uses both Para Transpo and OC Transpo. As vice chair of Transportation Committee, I was pleased to chair the subcommittee which led the very important enhancements.

Ottawa 2015 Crime Stats The 2015 Annual Report offers residents information about Criminal Code of Canada offenses for the City of Ottawa and its 23 City Wards.

The information provided will give residents a better understanding of crime trends in Ottawa. Highlights from the report include: with over 31,100 reported Criminal Code of Canada offences (excluding traffic) in the City of Ottawa, the level of reported crime declined by -1% last year. The clearance rate for total Criminal Code offences (excluding traffic) remained constant in 2015 with 36% of all cases cleared by charge or cleared otherwise. There were 7 homicides last year, all of which were solved. Two historical cases were also solved last year, bringing the clearance rate to 129%. The clearance rate declined by less than one percentage point to 32%. The number of calls received and entered into the OPS dispatch system declined by -2% to almost 334,500. The decline was driven by fewer Alternative Response calls (-7%). Mobile Response calls requiring an on scene police presence remained constant at 246,300.

Summer in Summerhill Park Riverside South resident Brinley Moore, 3, tries out a spider-web climber at the newly opened Summerhill Park in the community on June 25. The grand opening celebration, hosted by Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, featured treats, juggling and animals to pet.

Chico was one-year-old in May of this year. He is a purebred Biewer Yorkshire Terrier.

A handsome little fella!!!

Chico is extremely rambunctious and spunky, he enjoys being chased as he is a master of eluding with his extreme speed. Chico also enjoys playing fetch but his ultimate favourite game to play is tug of war with his toys, growling like he’s a 300 lb. bear, but hardly scary. Chico will stare you down until his amazing eyes just compel you to play with him.

He enjoys walks no matter what the weather, the first time he experienced snow, he seemed like a seasoned professional the way he vaults himself through the fresh snow or stealthy and fearlessly navigates his way on ice.

CHICO

I look forward to his greeting at the door every time we walk in, it’s like the first time he sees us. Guessing he probably loves his family very much as much as we love him. Life just wouldn’t be the same without my little buddy Chico keeping me company and cheering on the SENS!!!

Adapting, evolving key to Perley Rideau centre’s longevity Federal veterans affairs minister touts veterans’ centre significance Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A seniors residence is as much about celebrating the past as it is about envisioning a bright future ahead, and the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre is no different.

The residential centre, which is home to war veterans and civilian seniors, celebrated its 20th anniversary on June 21, drawing representatives from all three levels of government to mark the special occasion.

But its evolution over the years and its ability to adapt based on changing needs dates further into the past to 1897.

“Through the amalgamation of three care facilities — the Perley Hospital, the Rideau Veterans Home and the National Defence Medical Centre — we have changed considerably, evolving and transforming into a valued seniors village,” Akos Hoffer, the centre’s CEO, said during the ceremony, which drew hundreds of people.

The centre’s impact over the years has been no small feat, making it a model to follow.

Today, it features accommodations for people with a range of lifestyles, from apartments for independent living to quarters featuring cutting-edge dementia sup-

Mayor Jim Watson, left, and Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, far right, present a certificate commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre on June 21 to Ron Buck, chairman of the centre’s board of directors, second from left, and Akos Hoffer, the centre’s CEO. ports, said Mayor Jim Watson.

It has private rooms for 250 war veterans and 200 long-term-care rooms for other residents.

“It’s grown from its history … from a small community care provider to a provincial leader, and really, I would suggest, a national leader, in helping veterans and their families and seniors and people from the broader community,” said Watson, who also spoke of his father, a Second World War veteran, who recently passed away.

“I’ve often said that the angels of today are care workers in long-term care

homes dealing with our seniors and our veterans,” he said, drawing a round of enthusiastic applause.

A chorus of praise also came from Ottawa South MPP John Fraser and Ottawa South MP David McGuinty during the event, which was also attended

by Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier.

Ron Buck, chairman of the Perley Rideau’s board of directors, reflected on the centre’s valued partners, including the provincial and federal governments, and how instrumental they will be in the years to come.

“Going forward, both in terms of community and

veterans, this relationship is critical,” he said.

Veterans Affairs provides funding to the centre to cover the cost of accommodating the Second World War and Korean War veterans who live there. But as their numbers dwindle, so too does the allotted funding.

MINISTER REFLECTS

However, the significance of the care centre was not lost on federal Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr.

He spoke of the 250 longterm care beds for veterans that are funded by his ministry, as well as money the department provides to

support a suite of services for the independent-living apartments “to get our veterans and seniors the help they need when they need it.”

In addition to crediting his own peace and security to the men and women who have served and those who continue to wear the Canadian Armed Forces uniform, Hehr said the Perley Rideau is about more than just apartments and rooms.

“It’s a place of community, where people care, share and play together, and contribute and build each others’ lives,” he said.

Though the centre is a state-of-the-art facility, one that offers a wide-breadth of services, supports and amenities, what of its future 20 years from now?, asked the centre’s CEO. “We all know the health system is under tremendous pressure at the moment,” Hoffer said. “While veterans’ care will remain a pillar of our operation, the Perley Rideau must continue to expand and respond.”

In the years to come, he said evolution will continue to be the Perley Rideau’s main theme as it continues to serve residents with dementia and frailty issues.

But it will also foster stronger ties to learning and research institutes in the future.

“And, of course, we will always be prepared to serve veterans,” Hoffer said.

Charity recipients named for 2016 Ottawa police gala Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The power of a gala does not surprise Michael Sangster.

Over the past six years, the Ottawa Police Service Gala – an evening of dinner, dancing, live entertainment, keynote speeches and auctions – has generated $545,000.

The swanky evening, scheduled to take place this year on Nov. 5 at the Shaw Centre, draws community and corporate leaders, police officers and city councillors, among others.

“I like to think people want to stop for a moment and recognize the police,” Sangster said. “There’s (many) galas to choose from and I think we’re creating something special here that supports local charities.

“I love that while they’re having a great evening and a great party, they’re continuing to make a difference in our community at

the same time,” he said on June 22, the day this year’s charitable recipients were officially announced.

“It’d be easy to have a big party and call it the police gala, but they turned it into a fundraiser that has raised over half a million dollars in six years.”

Funds raised through the sale of donated auction items, corporate sponsorships and ticket sales this year will go to support the Distress Centre of Ottawa and Region, a 24-hour service in which trained volunteers answer almost 50,000 calls annually from people in need.

The Youville Centre will also benefit, giving it the financial boost it needs to continue supporting adolescent mothers and their children, by offering a range of services, from post-secondary education and parenting courses to addiction counselling and child-development programs.

Last year’s gala generated $85,000, which was split between the Ottawa Food Bank and Ottawa Caring and Sharing Exchange, which assists Ottawa residents and families at Christmas and during the back-to-school season.

The upcoming gala will be the second to support two charities at once, doubling the impact, said Sangster.

“The need is great,” he said.

The celebratory evening is also an opportunity for the community “to stop and recognize the men and women of the Ottawa police force and what they do for our community … those thousands of acts of humanity, of generosity to people on the street — the most vulnerable people on the street,” Sangster said.

Policing is about more than boots on the ground and law and order, and the gala is a way to say thank you, though the majority of officers with the depart-

“The irony is many of them can’t come to the gala because they’re out on the street serving the community,” said Sangster.

It takes about 50 volunteers, many of them officers, to put on the event.

The selected charities also get involved, helping to make the event a huge success.

“They become part of it,” said Sangster. “And we’ve managed to pick charities that are associated with work the police do as well. It links in nicely.”

Tickets are $175 each and can be purchased by calling Mara Berzins at the Youville Centre at 613-231-5150, ext. 128, or emailing her at communications@youvillecentre.

Gun pulled on cab driver

Teen stabbed at South Keys Transitway: Ottawa police Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A teenaged boy suffered multiple non-life-threatening stab wounds at the South Keys Transitway on June 21, according to police.

Officers rushed to the scene after receiving a 911 call about the stabbing and that a victim was in the bus shelter in that area, said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman.

By the next day, no suspects had been taken into custody.

A number of witnesses who were at the scene at the time the incident unfolded were interviewed by investigators. Given the time of day the stabbing occurred, Soucy said the transitway would have been a hub of activity.

“That’s always a busy area. There’s a shopping mall there, too,” he said.

The boy – his exact age was not immediately known – suffered more than one stab wound, though further details about his injuries were not disclosed by police.

“They were serious enough that he need to go to hospital for treatment,”

Soucy said of the victim’s wounds.

The incident disrupted traffic and one southbound OC Transpo bus lane was blocked off for more than an hour.

“At first we didn’t know where the exact occurrence took place. They had to look for evidence,” said Soucy.

“That’s why the area was closed off for a while.”

East district officers are handling the investigation, but have disclosed few details about the stabbing, including whether the victim knew his assailant or if there had been an altercation leading up to the stabbing.

“Those are all avenues we’re looking at,” Soucy said.

There may be camera surveillance footage at the transitway that could assist the case along.

“I know there are OC Transpo cameras in the area, but I don’t know if they were facing the area,” Soucy noted.

Anyone who saw or heard anything in relation to the incident is asked to contact the east district unit by calling 613-221-6219, ext. 3566, or provide anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers by dialing 1-800-233-8477.

Two male suspects are wanted by police after an attempted armed robbery of a taxi driver in the Fairlea neighbourhood.

The driver was called to the South Keys transit station on June 19 around 1:30 a.m. and picked up two males. He was directed to drive to 2920 Fairlea Cr. Once there, the rear passenger pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the driver and demanded money, Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, said in a statement on June 24.

The driver did not have any cash to hand over, and the suspects got out of the car empty-handed, according to police.

The driver was not injured in the incident.

One of the suspects is described by police as a black male, 20 to 25 years old, 140 to 160 pounds. He had a goatee and moustache and wore an earring in his left ear. He spoke English as well as a second language.

Cops nab pickup driver after pursuit starts in Cornwall Brantford man facing numerous charges after chase Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police are seeking witnesses who saw an orange pickup truck careening along city streets on June 22.

Dramatic video filmed by local residents and posted online shows an orange work truck squealing around corners and zipping along residential streets and busy arterial roads. One clip in particular shows the truck taking off with several unmarked and marked police vehicles in pursuit, with lights and sirens wailing.

Ottawa police picked up the chase after they were alerted by their Cornwall counterparts around midday that a company truck had been stolen from that city, about an hour-and-ahalf southeast of the nation’s capital.

“Because (the pickup) had a tracking device, like GPS, Cornwall (police) called us around 11:40 (a.m.) saying it was in our area,” said Const.

Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman. “So cruisers started converging on that

area and every time the suspect would see our cruisers, he would take off through a red light or hit another vehicle to get away.”

The male suspect finally ditched the vehicle near the intersection of Lancaster and Walkley roads in the vicinity of the Sheffield Glen and Hawthorne Meadows neighbourhoods. Video footage revealed extensive damage on the front and rear of the vehicle.

The suspect abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, and the Ottawa police canine unit was deployed. After a 15- to 20-minute search, the police dog tracked the suspect to a backyard near that same intersection, Soucy said.

“It didn’t take very long after the canine got there,” he said, adding that it’s believed the suspect may have been bitten by the dog at the

Harry with the Heaves held a special place in Mary’s heart

M

y brother Emerson said I wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to the farm animals. Except for the cows, which I wasn’t too fond of, I wanted all the others for pets.

Emerson said if I had any brains, I would know that you didn’t raise livestock for pets. Eventually, they would go off to market, or end up in the smoke house!

But I tended to put those thoughts out of my mind.

Even after my pet black lamb ended up on the supper table one night, sending me into hysterics and turning me against lamb for the rest of my life, I still thought I could make pets out of the farm animals.

Even though I wasn’t too fond of the cows, I loved the calves. It was no chore for me to feed a sickly calf from a bottle, until it was able to feed itself. Holding

MARY COOK Memories a screeching baby pig, with its soft body feeling like that of a real live baby, filled me with the utmost joy.

And then there was poor old Harry with the Heaves.

He was never called just plain Harry. It was Harry with the Heaves. Harry was a horse that had been around the farm long before I was born, and I loved him with a passion. Apart from the heaves, he had a sway where you could rest a couple bags of grain if you were so moved, and that was why he had the heaves,

Father said.

Harry with the Heaves was no longer able to do any farm work, and my sister Audrey said the only reason he was still kept around, was because Father knew how much I loved the poor old horse. He didn’t eat much, which maybe helped too.

Harry with the Heaves didn’t move around like the other horses, preferring to stand at the fence behind the barn, resting his head on the rails. Every day I would put a halter on him,

and walk him very slowly around the barnyard. We wouldn’t be gone a dozen steps, when the heaves would start. They seemed to come right from his hooves.

And I would stop and let him heave away until the spasm passed, and then we would walk around another few steps, with his head getting lower and lower to the ground.

The few times we hitched him to the buggy, it was like we were giving him a new lease on life. There were strict orders from Father not to run Harry with the Heaves ... just let him move at his own pace, which wasn’t very fast. But I could tell he loved pulling the buggy. And we would circle the barnyard a couple times, until he could no longer breathe easily. But it was enough to make the old horse feel he was needed, even if we really weren’t going anywhere.

Other sickly animals

would just disappear, and I knew perfectly well what their fate was. But Harry with the Heaves lived on, contributing nothing to the work load of the other horses, just living day by day with his condition getting worse right before my eyes.

And then one day, when I came home from school, I couldn’t see Harry with the Heaves anywhere. I thought he may have wandered into the field behind the barn, but no, he wasn’t there. I may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer, just like my brother Emerson said, but no one had to tell me that Harry with the Heaves wouldn’t be around any more.

Nothing was said about his missing. Not a word from Father, the brothers ... no one said a word. He was just gone. And I knew, without anyone telling me, that my beloved horse was no more. Not a word was

spoken about his end. It was as if Harry with the Heaves had never existed.

A deep sadness came over me. My horse was gone. Like so many disappointments, and sad happenings on the farm, there was no discussion … no explanation. It was thought the less said the better. I cried for Harry with the Heaves only when I was alone. And I prayed wherever he had gone, he would be hale and hearty, running around with other horses, eating the finest hay and oats, his back in shape, and the heaves a thing of the past.

To ease the pain in my heart, I had to believe it.

enjoy a comfortable experience in a natural setting.

Rob Ganley, senior communications officer at the Camping and Caravanning Club, advises that choosing the right tent for your family is vital. You need ensure that you have room for everyone and everything in case inclement weather forces you inside for more than to sleep.

Eastern Ontario has some of the best camping locations in the province with everything from the vast and wild Algonquin Park to family-oriented campgrounds such as Bon Echo, Fitzroy Harbour, Sharbot Lake and many more.

With modern camping equipment and a little planning, families can

CUSTOMIZED INDOCHINA TOURS ~ CALL FOR DETAILS www.sunnyviewholidays.com

Other essential camping equipment includes camping beds and bedding, cooking equipment and lanterns or flashlights. Most families will also pack a variety of things to use while camping, such as bats and balls, bikes, camping chairs, water toys and whatever the family may choose for their individual camping experience.

Other essentials include toilet paper and wet wipes, a well-stocked first aid kit, matches, ready to eat or canned food and a large container for water.

And don’t let a baby stop you from camping. There are lots of travel items on the market, such as travel sterilisers and pre-sterilised cups, and good family sites have immaculate baby changing facilities and even baby baths.

CAMPING WITH KIDS

A safe camping experience is an enjoyable experience, so plan for unpredictable weather and bring enough food, clothing and equipment to keep you and your family comfortable and entertained.

Rebecca Lees offers advice for stress-free camping with children.

“Camping with kids is great family fun. When your camping trip includes young children some extra planning and precautions will make the trip more enjoyable and memorable.”

Though kids should be free to explore and appreciate the great outdoors, it’s best to teach young

children to stay within eyesight of an adult. If they realize they’re lost, emphasize that they should find a nearby tree and stay there until someone finds them. It’s a good idea for children to carry a whistle around their neck to call for help when lost.

To make living in cramped quarters easier, parents should sort and pack each day’s clothing in individual bags in his/her suitcase so your child can grab a bag in the morning and have a full set of clothes for the day.

At night dirty clothes can go back in the bag to keep the suitcase cleaner and organized.

Remember that kids will get cold faster than adults in the evening.

“The key to comfortable camping with kids is to dress them in several layers, which can be peeled off as they get warm or added on as they cool off.”

Provide each child with a flashlight.

To prevent any arguments, make sure each one has their own.

“Children love to play with the flashlights, and having one also makes them more at ease after dark.

Flashlights are also handy when making trips to the restroom, for making shadow puppets on tent walls, and for reading before bed.”

Always teach kids to treat the outdoors kindly. Make sure all waste is disposed of properly when camping or hiking along the trails.

“Camping with children is more fun when you bring a playmate along.

Two or more children will entertain themselves for longer periods than will a single child.”

Travel the Rideau for an historic boat experience Looking for a memorable and unique vacation adventure? Look no further than The Rideau Canal.

The Rideau Canal is a scenic, historic waterway that winds its way through eastern Ontario to connect the city of Kingston on Lake Ontario with Ottawa. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the canal was originally built by the British after the War of 1812 to provide a secure link between Montreal and Kingston. Colonel By of the Royal Engineers was in charge of the project and the town settled at the north end of the system was originally known as Bytown, now called Ottawa.

With 47 locks in 25 separate lock stations, the 202 kilometer route is mostly natural river and lakes, with only about 19 kilometers manmade. Today it is a haven for water enthusiasts and boaters of all kinds.

To see the Rideau Canal, you can either you can travel by boat in the canal itself, or you can drive alongside. Some people like to cycle this route.

Seeing The Rideau fRom The WaTeR

If you have a boat capable of making the journey, you can go on an inland adventure, or go for a guided tour from any of the many operators along the route. The Canal is generally open to boat traffic from May 20 to October 12. It can be covered in as little as three days by boat, but a more leisurely pace will allow you time to enjoy the many sights and interesting communities along the shoreline.

Though some people do the entire Rideau, others travel just a section.

With over 1,100 km of shoreline, there is plenty to capture your attention.

For a successful boating excursion, it’s always best to plan your route.

There are lots of online resources to help you determine what you’ll need to bring and what you can get along the way.

Start by determining how far you want to go. Make sure you build in time to swim, fish, visit, shop and dine. You will need to find a launching and exit locations to suit your journey, unless it will be round trip.

There are guide books such as the

Rideau Boating and Road Guide and the Ports Guide to help with route planning. It’s always wise to have nautical charts too, available for online ordering from Ontario Travel Guides. Get your charts at the start of your planning so you can become familiar with them before setting out.

Remember to take your time and enjoy the ride. An average trip of five days to a week will give you plenty of time to sightsee and relax.

Travelling through a lock can take about 30 minutes if there is no lineup.

hoW To geT TheRe

By water, enter the Rideau at Kingston Mills lock station (from the St. Lawrence/Lake Ontario) or enter at Ottawa from the Ottawa River. If trailering, there are a multitude of access points along the Rideau as well as marinas with ramp access.

SeRviceS along The Rideau

It is easy to provision from the many grocery stores along the route in waterway towns such as Seeleys Bay, Newboro, Westport, Portland, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Manotick.

In addition to the grocery outlets and fuel depots, most marinas and a few of the lock stations supply ice.

Fuel and pump outs are available from many marinas along the Rideau. Some offer gas and diesel.

For those without an on-board head, all lock stations have public washrooms as do most of the marinas.

Dockage between the marinas and the lock stations is available and can be pre-arranged. Camping is available at local campgrounds, including two Provincial Parks, or at most lock stations.

Traveling The Rideau by water is memorable holiday adventure, no matter what kind of boat you use.

The lovely scenery will enchant you while you explore the rich history of the waterway. Take time to photograph the abundant waterfowl and wildlife, stop for a refreshing swim, or enjoy a picnic at a lock station or mooring.

To break up the journey, welcoming small towns such as Newboro, Portland, Westport or Merrickville are great for a shopping excursion

on shore.

No matter how you do, you won’t

forget time spent on The Rideau Canal.

New fare table for OC Transpo approved by city council Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

An attempt to stall changes to OC Transpo's fare table

by Rideau-Rockliffe Coun.

Tobi Nussbaum fell flat at council on June 22.

A plan by staff to eliminate express bus fares from the suburbs to downtown will mean an increase of $6.50 to the price of a regular adult transit pass starting in 2017.

Nussbaum said while fare changes need to be made, it’s not fair to put the extra expense on regular pass holders a year-and-a-half before they see the benefits of light rail. He wasn't alone in making the point. Somerset

Coun. Catherine McKenney said council is asking regular pass holders to pay an extra $104 over the next 18 months.

OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said that regular pass holders will have the benefit of being able to ride any bus in the city at one rate.

Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson said that one of the reasons for the change is that the express service is no longer unique enough to justify an extra charge for riders.

Manconi sent a memo to councillors in advance of the council meeting detailing why it is important to implement a new fare table

in advance of the roll out of light rail.

But Kitchissippi Coun.

Jeff Leiper, who also voted in favour of delaying the rate changes, said the rationale wasn't adequately explained in the memo.

Express routes

Leiper also said he doesn’t agree with the argument that there are not benefits to maintaining express bus routes.

“These are door-to-door routes, and a significant improvement to taking a regular bus,” he said.

While there was a sizeable rate hike to the regular adult pass, student bus passes and

senior’s passes will remain close to what they are. Cash fares will increase to $3.65 in July, and then dip back down to $3.35 in January.

Leiper said shifting the costs of eliminating the express pass to the city’s bread and butter clients — regular bus pass holders — puts a higher cost burden on the backs of those who can least afford it.

“Express pass holders will be getting roughly a $3 million subsidy from regular pass holders,” Leiper said.

“Which is doubly problematic because we couldn’t find the money for a low income pass.”

But Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said the

issue isn’t about who pays what, but getting ready for the coming of light rail transit in the city.

“It’s about the biggest infrastructure project in the city’s history and being ready for it,” he said, adding the city can’t afford to have it fail.

Egli compared the roll out of light rail in Ottawa to Christmas morning, saying that the city wants to make sure it has all the parts in place.

Transit commission chair Stephen Blais also defended the decisions of staff regarding fare rates.

“We should be complimenting the management team for the work they’ve

done,” he said, adding the past year has seen a $1 million expansion of service to Bank Street, as well as investments in the Trillium Line for the O-Train, which saw a 23 per cent increase in ridership.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans questioned the public consultation aspect of the fare table changes.

“My question is, have we done the analysis, the focus groups,” she asked.

“Is the fare system fair?”

Mayor Jim Watson said that changes to the fare table often come with “doom and gloom” predictions about what will happen to ridership levels.

City’s board of health supports safe injection sites Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s board of health has given the idea of a supervised safe injection site for IV drug users in the city its overwhelming support, despite the fact that the board’s chair was one of only two dissenting voices when the issue came to a vote on June 20.

Coun. Shad Qadri, chair of the health board, says he will wait and see what public consultation reveals before supporting safe injection sites in Ottawa.

The board voted 9-2 in support of a proposal championed by the city’s chief medical health officer Dr. Isra Levy that would allow community health centres to set up safe injection sites.

The injection site recommendation was part of a harm reduction strategy put forward by public health staff.

Doctors, advocates and IV drug users – former and current – packed the board meeting room and spoke in favour of the initiative, but Qadri wasn’t convinced.

He recalled a 2010 visit to Insite in Vancouver, which was the first ever safe injection site in North America.

“When we called the cab, and the driver asked us, ‘are you sure you want to go there?’” he said, adding the driver would only bring them a block away. That sixyear old cab ride is what Qadri based his health board vote on.

“That to me, said a supervised injection site is not safe,” Qadri said, adding it’s possible his mind can be changed once public consultation takes place.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish said approving the practice before the public consultation takes place is not the way to go on the issue.

“I see a bit of a contradiction,” he said, adding support of the community should be an important part of setting up a site.

Rideau-Vanier Coun.

Mathieu Fleury said he’d like to see public health be a partner in setting up supervised injection sites, so that more than one location can open at the same time, but doesn’t want the money to come from the city’s coffers.

The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre is well into planning to add an injection site to its existing needle exchange and methadone clinic.

The clinic would be in its building at Rideau and Nelson streets.

Cameron MacLeod, who heads the Carlington Community Health Centre and is a board member of the Association of Ontario Health Centres, said the association is on board with the policy.

“Many of our centres serve those with mental health and addiction and strongly support this initiative,” he said.

“Harm reduction accepts that drug use is part of every human culture and seeks to

File

Coun. Shad Qadri, chair of Ottawa’s health board, says a taxi ride he took in Vancouver six years ago is the reason he’s against safe injection sites for drug users in the city. support those dealing with addiction. Supervised injection sites save lives and provide a low-threshold gateway to treatment.”

Who pays for it?

Fleury said health care is a provincial responsibilty and tried to put forward a motion that would ensure the approval of supervised injection sites wouldn’t increase the operating or capital costs of Ottawa Public Health.

Fleury said he also didn’t want to lose sight of the fact that experts said there’s a 25day waiting period for clients to get into rehab centres.

“We would like that to be zero,” he said.

But several board members felt that it was too early to debate numbers.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said she didn’t feel it was right to say that the sites are needed and then not be willing to help find a way to make that happen.

“We have a responsibility to treat the people who need our help the most,” she said.

McKenney asked where we would be without needle exchanges and safer inhalation sites, something that the public was against not that long ago. She said a safe, supervised place to inject is the next step, and discussions about money is for another day.

“We can’t say we will

adopt a partnership then say if it’s going to cost money, we can’t help you,” she said.

Dr. Lisa Bromley, who treats addicts, said safe injection sites are a way to get people to more traditional addiction treatment services.

‘Gamble with their lives’

“People who use drugs shouldn’t have to gamble with their lives because what they buy is mixed with Fentanyl,” she said. “Any objection to supervised injection is not based on evidence, it’s based on sensibilities.

We aren’t going to arrest the problem away.”

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor described himself as a convert, and hopes the harm re-

duction strategy will help to reduce the stigma around IV drug use, adding injection sites could be a place where clients could also get help with some of their other underlying issues.

“Sometimes when you’re untying a knot, you have to attack it from a different place,” he said.

Approval of the health authority’s guidelines is just the first step.

The federal government would have to approve each centre’s plan for a safe injection site and the city would have to approve each site individually once a plan is in place.

The June 20 approval is expected to encourage organizations to move forward.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s 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, there is much you want others to know about you this week, but you’re not ready to share all of the details just yet. Continue to bide your time, sharing only when it feels right.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 There’s not much you can do to change a current situation, Taurus. Step away for a bit and let the pieces fall where they may. Then you can develop a strategy.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You have a new goal this week, Gemini, but others are not as receptive to your ideas as you hoped they would be. You may need to fine tune things.

Be persistent.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, resolve to make the most of this week even if it seems difficult to do so. Seek support from friends or family members willing to lend an ear or a helping hand.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, take a few moments to recharge this week. You have been going at a breakneck pace for too long, and now it’s time to slow things down. Use some vacation time if you can.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others are routinely drawn to your unique personality. Make the most of others’ warm reception and do your best to return the favor whenever you can.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you want to get things accomplished this week, you may have to do them yourself. Going it alone may require a lot of work, but you are up to the challenge.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your magnetism can draw others to you like a moth to a flame, and that has helped you establish lasting friendships and build strong relationships. Cherish your good fortune.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your super sense of humor is on full display this week, when you have an opportunity to be the life of a party. Spend as much time in the limelight as you can.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, so much is going on that the week seems like it may stretch on forever. Just take things one day at a time and enjoy your full schedule while it lasts.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take some time for yourself this week, Aquarius. You have earned a little R&R, and now is the perfect time to prioritize some fun and excitement.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, channel your creative energy into a special project. Invite others to join in the project and let things go where your creativity takes you.
