The girls, 11 of whom came from as far away as Halifax, Quebec and west of Toronto, forged strong bonds with one another through the intensive training session at the Ottawa fire training division building on Industrial Avenue, from Aug. 17 to 21.

“Everyone here is in the same boat because we don’t know what we want (to do in life),” Flinter said.

“It’s going to be hard because I need to choose what I want to do in university ... or if I want to be a firefighter,” said Flinter, who will start Grade 11 at Immaculata High School in September. “I’m hoping this right now will let me know what I want to do.”

Just a day-and-a-half into their training at Camp FFIT (Female Firefighters in Training), the teens had learned ladder and hose work, what it takes to rescue people in a dark space, the tools firefighters use on the job, how to force their way through locked doors and how to safely climb a 30-metre aerial ladder to the top of a training tower.

“I think it’s going to be my top career choice at this point in my life,” Flinter said during her second day of training on Aug. 18. “I really do enjoy it, and they do a really good job making us feel welcome.”

That is partly why Camp FFIT was first offered in Ottawa six years ago, modeled after the Phoenix Firecamp in Utica, N.Y. “We give them an education on what they would need to take at school because they’re at that age where they’re trying to decide what they want to be and selecting courses, so it’s the perfect age to do that,” said acting Lieut. Louise Hine-Schmidt, a 16-year firefighter who now works at Station 11 in Lincoln Heights.

“If you catch them too much older, they’ve already made up their minds.”

By the end of the week, the camp participants were to have worked their way up from learning general safety and other basic skills to cutting into a roof and extinguishing a controlled car fire.

Hine-Schmidt was among the first three female firefighters to join the Ottawa service, and helped establish Camp FFIT. The program, which attracted 50 applicants this year, is held in partnership by Ottawa Fire Services and the non-profit Fire Service Women of

Ontario, which is made up of female firefighters across the province.

Hine-Schmidt still takes part in the youth training program, and this year planned to instruct the young women on tying ropes and rappelling from a tower.

“I hope that now, as women come on, everything’s a little bit easier for everybody because they (male firefighters) didn’t know what to expect (at the time). I didn’t know what to expect,” she said of her early days on the job.

“Nobody knew what to expect because a lot of people didn’t think women could do this job.”

Acting Lieut. Louise Hine-Schmidt

“Suddenly, you’re thrust into this new family, you’re living together, you’re cooking together, you’re running on calls together.

“Nobody knew what to expect because a lot of people didn’t think women could do this job,” HineSchmidt said.

Though it’s been more than 16 years since women first joined the Ottawa service, there are still very few female firefighters in the city today.

Of the approximately 900 full-time suppression firefighters in Ottawa, between 22 and 25 are women, while there are only 30 females among the 450 volunteer firefighters.

The department is trying to determine what, if any, barriers are keeping more women, as well as people of different ethnicities, from pursuing firefighting careers here.

“At this point in time it’s still to be determined. We’re still doing a lot of research,” said Deputy Chief Kim Ayotte, adding the department has been working with a consultant to identify and reduce barriers since 2013.

“It’s a long process,” he said, when asked what those barriers are.

Being hired on as an Ottawa firefighter is not easy. Every two years, when the service recruits new firefighting personnel, more than 2,000 applications come flooding in.

“Out of that we might hire maybe 100 in that two-year period,” Ayotte said. “So it is very, very competitive.”

Mayor to meet with airport taxi reps amid protest erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Out-of-work airport taxi drivers are turning to Ottawa’s mayor in the hope he can help end a stalemate with their dispatcher over a hike in airport dispatching fees.

After the upset drivers took their protest to City Hall for the first time on Aug. 24, Mayor Jim Watson agreed to meet with Unifor union taxi representatives on Aug. 26.

The development comes more than two weeks after the drivers say they were locked out of the airport by their dispatch company, Coventry Connections, on Aug. 11. That was the same day the cabbies were to have begun paying new airport dispatch fee rates, which were negotiated over the past six months between Coventry and the Ottawa International Airport Authority.

“The mayor of the city is an influential figure in the city. Saying that, the city is the regulator of the taxi industry in the city, and they renew all licences once a year,” said Abed

Madi, president of Unifor Local 1688, which represents 275 airport fleet drivers operating 150 taxis.

“We’re hoping that he plays an influential role. We’re waiting for something to happen,” Madi said, while standing beside his taxi along Airport Parkway on Aug. 25 as his fellow drivers played musical instruments and cowbells and held ‘locked out’ signs.

Madi watched as dozens of passing motorists honked their horns in support of their cause.

Under the previous contract the cabbies paid Coventry $345 per month plus tax. But under the new contract, drivers have to pay $4.50 per fare, plus tax.

Based on the approximate 40,000 airport fares a month, drivers would have to each fork over an average of $1,335 though it will depend on how many rides they provide.

“We didn’t want to download that ($5-per-fare-fee) to the passenger by upping the fees that (Coventry and the airport authority) has asked us to do,” said Madi, a taxi driver for 31 years. “They want us to go

with them to the city to apply that increased fee on the meter.

We said no.”

But the airport authority said drivers won’t be required to pay a flat monthly fee, and will only be required to pay the additional amount based on how many fares they pick up.

“It’s a volume-based revenue model,” said Krista Kealey, airport authority spokeswoman. “It’s a flexible kind of structure so that if they do less pickups then they’re obviously paying less rather than doing a fixed fee.

“So if there’s a quiet month they’re not going to be required to pay for services that are not rendered.”

Of the $5 fee, $3 would go to the airport, with the remainder going to Coventry Connections, Kealey confirmed.

Coventry Connections spokesperson, Daniel Coates, previously said the new fee structure reflects rates being implemented across the continent.

“This is a typical fee you see at most airports across North America, so we’re only catching up,” Coates told Metroland Media.

Madi disputed that, saying the hike doesn’t make sense, especially in the context of a global recession that is being felt here in Canada.

Previous dispatching fee increases have been in the five- or six-per-cent range. The union countered Coventry’s new contract, saying its drivers would be willing to each pay $400 a month, up from about $345 un-

The drivers took their protest over an increase in airport dispatching fees to City Hall the day before on Aug. 24 to request a meeting with Mayor Jim Watson in hopes of ending their stalemate with their dispatch company. caused travellers to miss their flights, caused passengers to be left stranded at the terminal and tarnished the city’s reputation among departing tourists.

“Certainly from a public relations standpoint, the taxi industry is not helping itself,” Watson said, the day after he sped up the timeline for the city’s review of taxi bylaw regulations.

The review was to have been done in early 2016, but will

der the previous contract.

“We’ve been dealt with very, very unfairly. It’s a drastic increase,” Madi said, adding that 275 families have been seriously impacted by the dispute.

“The whole situation is just absurd.”

The airport authority has encouraged both sides to return to the bargaining table.

Watson has spoken out about the airport taxi fleet’s protest measures, saying they have

“When they were driving 20 kilometres an hour on the Airport Parkway, it was very frustrating,” Watson said at the time. “I think they have to rethink their public relations strategy because, quite frankly, it’s driving people to Uber.”

Promote self-confidence in children through sports and martial arts Playing individual and team sports is a great way to help children develop social

skills and raise self-esteem.

The City’s Fall and Winter Recreation eGuide offers a wide selection of classes that provide these benefits, as well as building upon life skills.

For some, the journey to higher self esteem begins and ends with martial arts. You can register for a variety of martial arts classes from the more familiar practices of Karate and Judo, to the lesser known ones such as Kendo, Capoeira and Aikido Yoseikan. In addition to building confidence, martial arts are known to promote physical fitness, discipline, respect and self control.

Participating in sports and exercise can create a supportive environment that acknowledges a child’s skill development and provides positive social relationships with teammates and coaches. Consider ball hockey, basketball or the Saturday morning Sports Club for a unique team experience.

You are never too young to start learning these skills. Children three and four years old can develop athletic ability and improve confidence through sport and games in a sportball class. The program introduces basic skills such as balance, large muscle development and body awareness.

There is also a variety of sports options for adults and children alike offered through City-wide Sports. Physical activity programs promote fun, friendship, skill development, confidence building and fair play values while learning to play in a team setting.

More than sports

the official season, but they have to do so at their own risk – meaning there’s no lifeguard on duty.

Dan Chenier, manager of parks and recreation for the city, said the open beach season hasn’t changed since the late 1990s, before amalgamation. That’s also the last time the budget for it was increased.

He said most years the schedule fits the weather patterns pretty well; the last week or two of August are generally cooler than other times in the summer. And the French elementary students go back to school a week early, cutting down on demand, while at the same time the many university students who work as city life guards start to head back to their school towns.

“It’s historical and it’s fitting within that budget,” he said.

But he said demand has also started to pick up outside of the regular season. Ottawa frequently sees temperatures

in the high 20s as early as May, Chenier said, and the warm weather can sometimes last into the early fall.

With Deans’s request, Chenier said his team will consider “all options” to see if the beach season can be tweaked or stretched to provide lifeguards longer.

That could mean weekend coverage only before and after the school break – although that could pose liability problems for the city if the messaging is confusing – or the city could consider staggered start times for some beaches to offer at least a few guarded sites earlier in the season.

Chenier said it’s not impossible to make some positive changes, even if the city doesn’t pony up more cash.

“It’s achievable if there’s a willingness to decide which beaches will stay open longer,” he said.

Deans asked staff to report back to committee before the 2016 budget consultations get underway this fall.

City to revisit beach season With near-record temperatures keeping Ottawa in a sweaty haze in mid-August, it seemed silly that the city’s official beach season ended Aug. 16 with two weeks left before school starts and plenty of warm weather in the forecast.

That’s why GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the community and protective services committee, asked city staff to take another look at the official beach season to see if it can be extended or changed to better fit Ottawa’s summer weather.

Right now the city’s beaches, including the popular Mooney’s Bay and Petrie Island destinations, open the third Saturday in June and close the third Sunday in August. Depending on the calendar, that could leave residents with between 58 and 65 open beach days a year.

Of course, “open” is a tricky term. Anyone can swim at the beach before or after

Not into the sports scene but still want to move? Children can also expand their creative scope and gain confidence in their abilities through jazz dance; or improve balance, coordination and self-esteem through Irish dancing. How about cheerleading for a different kind of team activity?

The city’s beach season ended Aug. 16 in the middle of a heat wave. Coun. Diane Deans has asked staff to see if the schedule can be shifted to better align the beach season with school holidays so beaches such as Mooney’s Bay beach officially remain open longer.

It turns out walking – especially walking quickly – could be the best thing you can do for your health.

A study published in British Medical Journal, The Lancet, found that walking pace is a greater predictor of life expectancy than other lifestyle habits such as smoking and blood pressure. Researchers developed a scorecard of factors that predicted an individual’s risk of dying within five years. Between 2006 and 2010, they studied half a million British adults between 40 and 70 years old.

“Self-reported information, such as usual walking pace and illness and injuries in the past two years, is generally a stronger predictor of death and survival than biological measurements, such as pulse rate and blood pressure,” reported website EurekAlert. “Surprisingly, self-reported walking pace is a stronger

predictor of death risk in both men and women than smoking habits and other lifestyle measurements.”

For participants who’d received a cancer diagnosis, self-reporting was also highly indicative of death and survival, the authors noted.

The test was developed by Swedish researchers Prof. Erik Ingelsson and Dr. Andrea Ganna. The researchers compared questionnaire answers from participants to health information in the UKBiobank.

An online questionnaire called the Ubble Risk Calculator (www.ubble.co.uk) makes it accessible to people around the world. One simply answers 11 to 13 health-related questions, depending on gender, and gets an age result based on general census statistics of adults in the UK. “This is the first study of its kind which is based on a very large study sample, and is not limited to specific populations, single types of risk, or requiring laboratory testing,” said one of the study’s co-authors.

The researchers hope individuals and doctors can use the information to determine the highest risk individuals and to help middle-aged and older people make informed lifestyle choices.

alking has been shown to improve mental health, aid in healthy weight loss and improve circulation.

It can stimulate creativity, remove aches and pains and generally change your mood.

Walking outdoors increases the likelihood of socialization, which is integral to health and happiness.

U.S. researchers recently announced that walking briskly for just 11 minutes per day can help reduce belly fat, which is linked to heart problems, diabetes and other ailments.

People who own dogs are generally shown to have better health outcomes than non dog-owners, which most research chalks up to the regular walks that must be taken. People who walk to run errands or commute by foot to work are less likely to be overweight. Kids who take the pedestrian route to school have been shown to be slimmer, have better attention spans and improved grades.

It’s clear that walking may be a magic bullet for health.

As we’ve given way to sedentary jobs, long commutes and laid back pastimes involving screens, however, walking seems to be going the way of the dodo bird.

Beach closure policy is silly

O

ttawa Mayor Jim Watson never fails to tout how fiscally prudent his administration is and how under his watch the city’s budgeting process is squeezed so tight that the purse strings on the city’s collective wallet squeak when you try to tug at them.

Watson says it is all about priorities, and he says it over and over again.

In general, being stingy about spending public funds is an admirable quality that is indeed the prudent way to go, but there are times when being tight with a public buck can be downright silly.

In a city that has a short summer, closing Ottawa’s beaches in the middle of August is being penny-wise but pound foolish. It is being silly with a capital “S”. Ask anyone in the city when the summer season is and they will tell you that it starts at the end of the school year and continues until the Labour Day weekend. That is an eastern Canadian summer. Always has been, always will be.

And yet the City of Ottawa’s summer beach season starts in late June but ends on the third Sunday of August. It seems to be an arbitrary end date chosen more with an eye on how to save money on the cost of staff, lifeguards and public health water safety testing, rather than for any common sense

reason that has to do with what residents of the city would consider our summer season.

Which is why the closing of the city’s beaches on Aug. 16 this year, just as the city started to get all hot and bothered by a week-long heat wave, has rightly been mocked as being a ridiculous situation.

That is why Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the community and protective services committee, is asking city staff to take another look at the official beach season to see if it can be extended or changed to better align with Ottawa’s summer weather.

There are those at the city who say this is the way it has been for years, that the last few weeks of August are traditionally cooler than earlier in the summer, that French schools return to class before the end of August, etc., etc. And anyway, this is what fits our budget.

The simple reply to all that is, so what? Just because it has been this way for years doesn’t mean it is the right way to do something. Summer in Ottawa is short enough as it is. There is no valid reason why we should continue to allow the powers that be at city hall shorten our summers even more by officially closing our beaches before what we all know to be our summer season is actually over.

Fall blight taking hold

T

his week you can look around and see election signs beginning to sprout on people’s lawns, giant cardboard flowers in blue, red, orange and green.

You might feel one way about that or you might feel the other. The odd thing about the sudden flowering of election signs on private property that began last week, was that the federal election was already more than two weeks old when the signs first began appearing.

That’s because there are Ottawa municipal regulations that somehow supersede whatever is going on federally. Ottawa’s rules state that election campaign signs cannot be on private property until 60 days before the election.

This wasn’t much of an issue in

Those candidates who have spoken about it seem relieved that they didn’t have to deal with signs for a couple of weeks. They were spared some expense and their workers could concentrate on other things.

blight. Any postponement of their appearance was just fine.

You can understand that point of view but there’s another way of looking at it. Election signs can be unsightly. They can make the city look messy. But who says everything in life has to be tidy? Ever been to a carnival or a picnic?

In a way what we see is a metaphor for our system of government.

Democracy can be unsightly. It’s certainly messy. And, like the garden of election signs, democracy is colourful, but not always in the most tasteful of ways.

It’s a good guess that no one at city hall had a 78-day campaign like ours in mind when the 60-day rule was put in place. So there shouldn’t, in a reasonable world, be any objection to changing the rules to get rid of the restriction.

The new bylaw could just prohibit election signs on private property until the election is called.

Then people who consider signs distasteful will simply have put up with them a bit longer. And people who consider it their democratic right to support their candidate by putting a sign on their lawns will have the right to do so for as long as the election lasts.

The local rules also prohibit signs on public property, such as road allowances, until 30 days before the election date. That needn’t change.

Obviously, the city is well within its rights there, especially given the necessity of making sure that signs do not interfere with visibility.

But it’s difficult to see what harm a lawn sign can do. To some of us, it’s fun to watch the duels develop on our street. And it’s encouraging to see the level of interest in ediTorial Managing ediTor: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6261

CHEO named paperless leader for digitizing patient records Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

CHEO’s outpatient clinics are no longer leaving a paper trail.

The regional children’s hospital is one of just a handful of hospitals – less than one per cent of 650 hospitals in Canada – that are fully adopting a new searchable and shareable electronic health records system.

The move to the new US$3.7million software system, known as Epic, has made CHEO the first hospital in Canada to be given a prestigious stage six electronic health records designation from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, which analyzes IT-related health-care data.

“We went from a complete paper environment to a paperless environment in about 18 months,” said Dr. Jim King, CHEO’s chief medical information officer.

CHEO’s medical staff hope to use real-time information inputted into the new system to make better clinical decisions, improve outpatient care, even

Forty-three of CHEO’s outpatient clinics have gone paperless after adopting a new electronic records management system known as Epic. The regional children’s hospital is one of just a few hospitals in Canada to make this high-tech overhaul.

CANTERBURY TAEKWONDO save more lives.

“Our overarching theme is to have one patient, one chart – so everything is in one record,” said King, who is overseeing the system’s implementation. “We have multiple records across the organization or multiple places where information could exist.”

CHEO’s outpatient clinics, which fielded more than 161,000 visits last year alone, first began transferring over

to the new system in October 2013. Epic is now in place at 43 clinics, including those specializing in pediatric medicine, diabetes, urology, concussions and neurosurgery.

Another six go live in October and two more will be integrated by the end of the year.

Another two, including the pre-assessment operating room clinic, will go paperless when Epic is fully integrated in the

rest of the hospital within the next two to three years, including at its inpatient and emergency departments.

The system will especially benefit patients with long-term and complex health conditions, such as diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease, replacing reams of paper files with the high-tech, intuitive database.

CHEO is already reaping significant returns on the record

system, including a financial savings, a two-per-cent reduction in test duplication and a three-per-cent decrease in medication errors.

“Previously in our ambulatory system, all our prescriptions were written on paper,” said King. “When I would write a prescription for my patient, I would need to remember that the patient is on three different medications and two of them could have an interaction.”

Doctors could only hope pharmacists would then spot any potential medication issues.

“Now the system actually checks for allergies, for duplications, that we don’t order the same medication twice,” King said.

Epic also comes with a patient health portal that parents will be able to access to track their child’s medical information, see lab results and appointments and use it to ask doctors questions. The portal is currently in place for diabetes patients, but the plan is to expand it to other clinics.

“And in the future (parents

and patients will) be able to answer questionnaires through it, provide pre-assessment information before they come into the clinic,” said King.

The system will ultimately mean less testing and needles for patients, he said, adding that parents will also receive alerts when patients are due to undergo additional testing.

The hospital has already seen a financial savings, though just how much money Epic will save CHEO won’t be fully known until the system is fully implemented.

“In general, you do see a return on your operating margin and we have seen some savings,” King said. “We’re paying for less transcription. We don’t need to store as many records.”

The change, however, doesn’t mean CHEO will be shredding its paper patient records any time soon.

As a children’s hospital, it keeps all patient records for 43 years.

“We have never gotten rid of a record to date,” King said of CHEO’s paper patient files, which are stored off-site.

Hospital sexual assault centres share funding boost Erin McCracken

Public Education Benefits Us All As I write this article (on August 20), a tentative central agreement has just been reached between the secondary teachers union -OSSTF-and the Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA) and provincial government. The details of the tentative agreement are confidential until it has been ratified by all parties, a process that will begin over the next few days.

This is excellent news for secondary students and their families and for our teachers and other staff. I am so pleased that our school board representative, OPSBA, has been able to make such important progress with the secondary teachers’ union prior to the start of the school year. Although we have not seen the details, I am hopeful that this will lay the foundation for fair and fully funded negotiated agreements with all our labour partners, provincially and locally.

The provincial government is providing more than $106,000 in extra funding to improve hospital-based counselling services in eastern Ontario for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Ottawa South MPP John Fraser announced Aug. 21 the provincial government is contributing the extra funds this year to sexual assault and domestic violence treatment centres at the Ottawa Hospital, the

Why is public education important, and how does it benefit all of us? First and foremost, we all care deeply about the education of our children and grandchildren.

As students go through our schools, we work hard to make sure that children learn and grow in a caring, safe and stimulating environment. We want our students to achieve and to have a sense of well being.

Public education, at its best, results in a well educated, skilled and flexible workforce. For us to continue to be successful in an increasingly competitive global economy, we need a world class workforce - a workforce that can adjust and adapt to changing economic conditions, technological change and environmental pressures.

Students who graduate from our public schools follow many different pathways. Some go straight into the workplace, home or community, others go to community colleges, and many go to universities to pursue a wide range of professions. The students of today become the tradespeople, service sector workers, doctors, teachers, lawyers and technologists of tomorrow. They will define our future economic and social well being.

Our students head back to their classrooms on September 8. By then, I hope we will have reached agreements with all our unions at the central and local level. This is what our students need, and what they deserve.

open a sexual-assault centre in 1984.

“What it will provide for is more counselling and follow-up, because these centres are 24/7, 365 days a year,” said Fraser.

“Some of them rely on on-call staff, but in the case of the Ottawa Hospital (sexual assault centre), they have a trained nurse on 24/7.”

A nurse practitioner runs the Ottawa Hospital clinic.

Follow up care

In addition to providing care as urgent cases come in, hospitals also provide follow-up care and counselling to ensure survivors are able to cope and can access supports to ensure their physical, emotional and mental needs are met.

“It’s not just one visit,” said Fraser, who serves as parliamentary assistant to the Ontario minister of health and long-term care, Dr. Eric Hoskins.

“So this will provide more capacity to serve people in counselling. It’s the follow-up you want to make sure is timely.”

The additional money may pay for another clinic day or half day, which means people don’t have to wait as long to get a follow-up appointment, he said.

The reality is that there remains a strong demand for such services and supports.

In Canada, one in three women will experience

some form of sexual assault in their lifetime.

“I’m a father and I have a daughter and I’m a husband and I have three sisters,” Fraser said.

“It is just a shocking number,” he said of the prevalence of sexual violence.

“I think you can see through our It’s Never Okay program to stop sexual violence and harassment a lot of education for young men,” Fraser said, referring to the government’s creation of the ‘It’s Never Okay: An Action Plan to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment’ that was unveiled on March 6.

The action plan is designed to help stop sexual violence, change attitudes, provide additional support for survivors and enhance safety in the workplace and on campuses.

“I think people recognize that it’s something that we have to really seriously address,” Fraser said.

The government is putting in $41-million over three years toward implementing the action plan.

BY THE NUMBERS

Total annual funding to centres: $1.14 million Additional annual funding: $106,500 CHEO’s share: $32,000 Champlain LHIN, including the Ottawa Hospital and Renfrew Victoria Hospital: $40,000 Cornwall Community Hospital: $34,200

But the full benefits of public education are not realized if some students fall between the cracks. This is why the public education system must continue to place priority on providing help to our most vulnerable students students with special needs and learning disabilities, students living in poverty, recent immigrants with limited English language abilities, First Nation, Metis and Inuit students and children with mental health issues, to name a few. We cannot afford to leave some students behind. Our investment in the students of today will secure a prosperous and fair society.

Inaccurate windows approved for Bayview Yards restoration Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city won’t pay an extra $100,000 for historically accurate windows as it restores the 1940s industrial building known as the Bayview Yards in Kitchissippi Ward.

The site at 7 Bayview Ave. is being redeveloped into an innovation centre with the help of city, provincial and private funds. The city-owned public works building is designated heritage, and is being heralded by the city as its flagship adaptive reuse project.

It will preserve the building while creating a large entrepreneurial hub and incubation centre.

The plan has been applauded by heritage advocates and entrepreneurs alike, but when heritage planners brought forward suggested alterations to the heritage aspects of the building, some members of the community – including Heritage Ottawa – were concerned the windows replacement plan wasn’t good enough.

The plan asks to replace almost all of the building’s prominent windows with modern panes that would have similar, but not identical, pane patterns. Instead of dividing the panes into five sections, the new windows would only be divided three times. Heritage Ottawa president David Jeanes said at the time the altered window patterns would undermine the building’s heritage value.

The developer argued that the more you divide the panes, the less efficient the windows will be – undermining the project’s quest to achieve a green building certification (known as LEED gold), on the restored building.

After a lengthy discussion, the heritage committee asked staff to work with the developer between then and planning committee on Aug. 25 to discuss options for installing more historically accurate windows.

Heritage planner Lesley Collins then came to that meeting with two options:

replace the building’s southfacing windows with historically accurate replicas while keeping the rest of the plan the same, or replacing all of the building’s windows with historically accurate replicas.

Heritage Ottawa and other concerned citizens obviously supported option two, which would most preserve the building’s heritage character and more closely reflect the heritage act’s guidelines.

But the change would have come with a hefty price tag: about $100,000 extra, or 25 per cent of the city’s total contribution to the restoration.

That was too much for planning committee members to swallow; even Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who had supported the direction to look more closely at the windows, opted in the end to support staff’s recommendation to stick with the original plan.

The issue went to council for final consideration on Aug. 26, after this paper’s press deadline.

File

The large, paned windows in the heritage Bayview Yards building are part of the industrial building’s historical value. The city’s planning committee rejected a proposal to spend an extra $100,000 to install replica windows during the restoration.

Gas leak prompts temporary closure of hospital entrance Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A natural gas leak forced the temporary closure of the main entrance to the General campus of the Ottawa Hospital on Aug. 20.

Fire crews were called to the campus on Smyth Road after a backhoe operator working at a construction site near the main entrance to the complex accidentally severed a two-inch natural gas main line while doing excavation work.

Gas could be smelled inside the hospital, according to fire officials.

The damage was considered minor, and hospital officials said there was no danger to patients, visitors or staff, and no need for evacuation measures.

“Air intake systems in the area have been closed and traffic is being diverted,” Allison Neill, hospital

spokeswoman, said in a statement released during the incident, which happened around 10:50 a.m.

Windows were also shut during the incident.

Fire crews remained at the scene to monitor air quality, and assisted Enbridge Gas in shutting off the gas.

While the main entrance was closed, hospital staff and security personnel directed patients, visitors and staff where to use other entrances. Vehicles were also detoured.

The gas line was repaired by 12:30 p.m. and the entrance was then reopened.

The campus, which includes the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, is currently undergoing renovations to improve safety and accessibility for patients and their families, according to hospital officials.

A construction worker stands near a cordonedoff construction site at General campus of the Ottawa Hospital where a backhoe sits after it accidentally cut a natural gas line on Aug. 20. The campus, which includes the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, did not need to be evacuated, but the main entrance to the site was closed temporarily.

A notice will also to be delivered to residents along River Road (between Leitrim and Earl Armstrong) and to the adjacent neighbourhoods in advance of the work.

He has invited ward residents as well as cyclists, runners and pedestrians who use the bridge, and plans to bring his own two young children, in order to get a sense of bridge safety issues from a variety of perspectives during the Sept. 2 walkabout.

Brockington said he has heard very few summer-related issues regarding the bridge, and reasoned that he likely heard the bulk of concerns during the first safety audit tour in February, which revolved around a “lack of lighting in a certain area, hidden spots without mirrors to see who’s coming around the corner.”

That inaugural winter structure audit was prompted after dozens of safety-related complaints came in to Brockington’s office. Deans also received a number of complaints.

More than 20 people attended that gathering, some of whom touted the bridge for providing a convenient link between Hunt Club and South Keys.

But they also highlighted one section of the new route, which runs parallel with Sawmill Creek, as being completely secluded. Others raised issues related to snow removal and ice build-up, and a lack of lighting and railings. These are included in a 19page staff report on the comments that also outlines what measures are and are not feasible to implement.

Some are just too expensive, such as mounting video cameras.

“There’s not just no money, but they don’t act as deterrents. We don’t have someone sitting in some control booth monitoring cameras to begin with,” Brockington said.

Instead, angled mirrors could be installed so that pedestrians can see if someone may be lurking around the corner.

“Now that’s very inexpensive to do,” he said.

Those who want to participate in the safety audit are asked to meet on Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. at the corner of Plante Drive and Cahill Drive West, on the west side of the Airport Parkway bridge in the Hunt Club neighbourhood.

this fellow Job. And then one day, a discussion around the supper table sent me into a panic, and I couldn’t even eat my piece of raspberry pie, which was my favourite. Audrey was finished at the Northcote School, and like so many girls from the farms around, that meant going off to Renfrew and doing housework for the rich people.

I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down my face right onto the pie in front of me. Audrey put her arm around my shoulders and told me that day was a long way off, and I wasn’t to fret about it. She was needed on the farm, she said, and that’s where she would be staying.

I asked her to “promise and hope to die,” which was

hat girl has the patience of Job,” Mother said.

She said it often enough of my sister Audrey, and I had no idea who Job was, that I was determined to find out what the word patience meant. If Audrey had an abundance of it, maybe I could claim to have it too, since we were sisters, and it seemed to be something of great value.

And so one day, just before school was let out for the summer, I asked Miss Crosby if she would look up the word “patience” in the big black dictionary that sat on the corner of her desk.

She read me the description, which had big words like “tolerance” and “endurance” in it. I was still none the wiser, and I decided Job was someone Mother knew in Renfrew, because there certainly was nobody out in Northcote by the name of Job. At any rate, my older sister Audrey had the same trait as

right up there in importance with asking God for a special favour. She again assured me she would be right at home for a long time to come.

After supper, and after the kitchen had been redded up, I went out to the grape arbour and sat in the big two-seater swing and started to think about all the things I would miss if my beloved sister Audrey ever left me.

Who would sing to me at night when we went to bed?

Whose arm would reach out across the bed roll, and keep me safe when the whippoorwills sang their eerie songs when it was black as pitch outside, and I was terrified they would get in the house?

And who would sit with me in the long grass and pull dandelion stems, then split them and roll them down into tight curls, and make up stories about how the women of long, long ago got the idea of curling their hair from the dandelions?

Audrey was a patient person Continued from page 18

And I thought of the many times Audrey and I stretched out on the grass on a summer’s day when the sky was full of soft white clouds.

And we would see dogs, fierce lions, and old men’s faces, as the clouds shifted taking on new shapes as the gentle wind pushed them into different forms. And Audrey would make up stories about the things we read in the clouds, and often I would doze off, filled with a fierce love of a sister who found time to spend with a much younger sister when there were other things she would much rather be doing.

It was Audrey who defied anyone at the Northcote School to pick on me; even bad Marguirite got to know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing if she made fun of my hand-me-down clothes or my long red ringlets.

Wasn’t it Audrey who, when I asked, would sit with me in the very swing I was in at that moment, and tell me imaginary stories of far off lands, and people who spoke in different tongues.

And when I would say, “Tell me another one Audrey,” she would simply let out a long sigh and begin another story.

And wasn’t it Audrey, who would take the book I had chosen from the Renfrew Library,

with big words I couldn’t read, and sit with me at the kitchen table before bedtime, and read to me when I knew she would much rather be reading her own book?

And wasn’t it Audrey, even knowing I had little talent, who spent hours trying to teach me how to make French knots?

As I sat in the swing that day, seeing in my mind’s eye, all the things my sister Audrey did for me, and the hours she spent with me, I knew then what mother meant when she said, “That girl has the patience of Job.” Audrey certainly, as far as I was concerned, had patience.

Sadly, I never did find out who that guy Job was.

Capital Proud The 30th annual Capital Pride Parade saw dozens of floats and performers, including these sky-high stilt walkers. The parade wound through Centretown on the afternoon of Aug. 23, drawing thousands from across the city to take part in the closing day of Ottawa’s Capital Pride Week festivities. Organized by the resurrected Capital Pride, which bounced back from bankruptcy earlier this year, the parade returned to the historical epicentre of the city’s LGBTQ community - the gay village on Bank Street. Beginning at Bank Street and Gladstone Avenue, the parade looped north from Gladstone to Kent Street, over to Bank via Laurier Avenue, and returned to Somerset Street.

Alta Vista residents evacuated

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Second Airport Parkway Bridge Safety Audit

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A container with “explosive liquid” stored outside of a backyard shed behind an Alta Vista home prompted the evacuation of about 20 nearby residents on Aug. 18.

After determining what the product was, the Ottawa police chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives operations unit, with assistance from the Ottawa fire hazmat team, built a sandbag bunker and detonated the container in the backyard of an elderly man’s home at 2228 Prospect Ave. just off of Kilborn Ave. No one was injured in the incident, first reported to authorities by the man’s relatives just before 11 a.m. The family members were cleaning up the property when they came across the container, said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman.

“It’s a common chemical that became unstable because it had been left out for a long period of time,” Soucy said.

Capt. Bob Rainboth, fire department spokesman, would only describe the substance as a “liquid explosive,” and declined to reveal the brand name of the product or what it is typically used for.

“We don’t want people going around mixing chemicals and trying things on their own,” he said.

A number of containers in the vicinity of the shed initially had to be investigated, Rainboth said.

Emergency responders remained on scene until about 4 p.m. on Aug. 18, which was around the time that nearby residents were allowed to return to their homes. The evacuees were sheltered during the incident on an OC Transpo bus.

As a result of the onsite detonation of the container, the controlled explosion would have sounded like a large thud, Rainboth said.

The incident serves as a reminder about the importance of properly storing chemicals.

“We recommend that people take precaution when storing any chemicals and do their best to make sure (products) stay in their original containers,” Rainboth said, who could not confirm whether the chemical in this case was still in its original container. “There is the reality that mixing chemicals can lead to problems.”

Improper storage and mixing of chemicals can lead to flammable hazards and poisoning, he added.

No criminal charges will be laid in the case.

Local residents who walk, run or cycle the Airport Parkway Pedestrian Bridge are welcome to join me, Councillor Deans, and City staff for a second safety audit. Due to a number of issues that were brought to my attention shortly after the bridge opened in November 2014, I commissioned a winter audit which was held on February 3. A second and final audit is now slated for Wednesday September 2 at 7pm.

Please meet at the Plante Drive / Cahill Drive West intersection in the Hunt Club neighbourhood.

Slow Down for Us-Lawn Signs Residents who live in school zones or on streets with a fair number of children are encouraged to contact my office to have a Slow Down for Us lawn sign erected on your front grass. With school about to reconvene, the signs are part of a city-wide campaign to remind all motorists to slow down and keep a watchful eye on our youngest residents.

I recently analysed a set of tax data that showed that River Ward’s residential, commercial and retail owners paid a combined $62.4 million in property taxes to the City of Ottawa in 2015. River Ward is ninth on the list for most taxes paid out of 23 city wards. Somerset ward pays the most, as this ward includes the downtown core and West CarletonMarch pays the least, due to its low population and farmland. A city-wide total of $1.4 billion was collected in taxes in 2015, approximately half of the City’s $3 billion budget. The other main revenue sources are payments from other levels of government to cover costs associated with running various programs, ie social assistance, community housing, public health etc.

Teachers’ deal in works Steph.willems@metroland.com

Parents of high school students are no doubt welcoming the news of a tentative agreement forged between the province and the union representing public secondary school teachers.

On Aug. 20, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) released details of a contract agreement to its members, just days after returning to the table at the request of Premier Kathleen Wynne. Those details were then leaked to media outlets.

Bargaining talks between the OSSTF, province and Public School Boards’ Association broke off earlier this summer, with the impasse leaving many in fear of a fall teacher’s strike.

Under the contract, which still has to be voted on by members, teachers would see a one per cent lump sum payment this year, followed by a one per cent salary bump next year, and a half a per cent the year after.

Sick leave and benefits would also be boosted, and an extra PA day would be added to the school year. The union had earlier claimed that the labour strife wasn’t related to salaries - rather, it was taking action to ensure the autonomy of teachers within the school board environment.

The OSSTF stated that the increase would be paid for with savings found

elsewhere in the education budget, as required under the province’s ‘net zero’ bargaining stance. The ratification process was expected to begin immediately.

News of the tentative agreement was warmly welcomed by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, whose School Trustee full-time and occasional teachers are SchoolTrustee Trustee School represented by the OSSTF. Zone Zone777 Zone “This is excellent news for secondwww.markfisher.org ary students and their families and for www.markfisher.org our staff,” said Shirley Seward, chair www.markfisher.org of the board. “Although we have not seen the details, I am hopeful that this will lay the foundation for fair and fully Ottawa Carleton School Board Ottawa Carleton District District School Board Ottawa Carleton District School Board 133 Greenbank Road, Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, K2H 6L3 6L3 funded negotiated agreements with our 133 Greenbank Ontario, K2H 133 GreenbankRoad, Road, Ottawa, Ontario, K2H 6L3 T.

“This is very positive news and an excellent step forward in the negotiations process,” she said. “Across the district, our staff is preparing for the first day of school on September 8 and I know that everyone will be encouraged with this news.”

On Aug. 25, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) announced that it would suspend its work-to-rule campaign after also reaching a tentative deal. No details were released about that agreement pending ratification.

Ottawa Hospital unveils futuristic vascular surgical tools, ORs Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Wearing surgical scrubs, Adam Pluim presses a few keys, watching with an eagle eye as a laser-guided arm with a large scanner shaped like a ‘c’ glides into position at one end of a long operating bed.

The GE applications specialist takes a few steps, and with an almost imperceptible twist of his wrist, he manipulates one of several small knobs on a panel attached to the bed, which then tilts up and down with barely a whisper.

Facing him are computerized panels illuminating crystal-clear previously scanned images of a patient’s blood vessels, which can be superimposed over realtime imagery of a patient’s vascular system during surgery.

The $1.6-million GE Discovery angiography technology – the first of its kind in Canada – was recently installed in one of two brand new $9-million 93-square-metre vascular operating rooms at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus – the largest ORs in the hospital.

The high-tech surgical suites are like something out of a movie, and will allow the hospital’s renowned vascular surgical teams to undertake groundbreaking techniques in minimally invasive surgery on patients suffering from lifethreatening conditions, such as aortic aneurysms.

The technology signals the future is here.

“We are now in 21st century medicine and 21st century healthcare,” said Dr. Jack Kitts, Ottawa Hospital president and

chief executive, and a huge fan of the original Star Trek television series.

“I don’t think I went into medicine because of Dr. ‘Bones’ McCoy, but I certainly liked the tricorder, and so I’ve been fascinated by the tricorder – that he could actually look into everyone’s body and cure them, even from death,” he said of the fictional handheld scanning device.

With the ability of today’s magnetic resonance imaging technology and minimally invasive surgical techniques, “we are getting really, really, really, close to the tricorder,” said the hospital’s former chief of anesthesia.

“But when you walk into that (operating) room, you feel like actually you’re looking at the Starship Enterprise,” Kitts said, during the official unveiling of the rooms and Discovery arm on Aug. 21.

The high-tech additions, which took three years to put in place, will help the hospital achieve its goal of being among the top 10 per cent of hospitals in North America when it comes to patient experience and care.

By further enhancing the surgical team’s ability to perform less invasive endovascular procedures, more lives will be saved and patients can recover more quickly and experience fewer side effects. Hospital stays and patient wait times are

Dr. Sudhir Nagpal, the Ottawa Hospital’s chief of vascular and endovascular surgery, at right, and his patient, Rothwell Heights resident Paul Tarnowski, meet again inside one of two new $9-million vascular operating rooms at the Civic campus on Aug. 21. also expected to be reduced.

Every year, the hospital’s vascular surgeons perform about 250 operations to repair abdominal aortic aneurysms, in which a section of the body’s major blood vessel that runs from the heart to the abdomen is enlarged and at risk of rupturing.

Paul Tarnowski’s aorta had already burst when he was rushed to hospital.

“Mortality rate: 80 per cent,” said the Rothwell Heights resident, who underwent emergency endovascular surgery last

August.

His surgeon, Dr. Sudhir Nagpal, chief of vascular and endovascular surgery at the Ottawa Hospital, inserted a needle and wire into Tarnowski’s groin to gain access to the aorta and repair the damage.

Tarnowski was awake throughout the entire two-anda-half-hour procedure “and annoying the doctor.”

“I was like, ‘Look, I have a 50th wedding anniversary in two weeks and I want to make it, so don’t mess up,’” the retired civil servant recalled with

a laugh.

“I wanted to make sure I had the opportunity to tell my wife that those 50 years were absolutely fantastic, extraordinary, (that) she was the person that I always wanted to be with.”

Within two days of the surgery, he was back home and preparing for the party.

Looking around at the new vascular OR and futuristic imagery on Aug. 21, Tarnowski was impressed – and for good reason.

‘We’re able to work, like in a video game’: surgeon

This week at

Continued from page 25

The hospital’s new Discovery arm is 10 times more powerful than anything his doctor has used so far.

When Nagpal operates on future patients, he will be able to use a ‘live’ feed of diagnostic imagery relayed in real time by the Discovery technology.

“It stays on so we can see inside you as we’re doing a procedure,” said Nagpal, who planned to use the scanner for the first time during operations on Aug. 26 and 28.

“So when a wire comes up through the leg in an artery, we can see the wire dancing. This is real time where the X-ray stays on and we’re able to work, like in a video game – literally.”

By reducing surgical times, the team hopes to do more of these procedures and fewer open surgeries, which involve opening a patient’s chest and abdomen from ribcage to pelvis in order to make repairs.

“So the complication rates are significantly better with endovascular treatment compared to an open operation, and that’s nothing to say about mortality or even surviving the operation, where their survival of endovascular procedures is significantly better,” Nagpal said.

It means more patients will be able to celebrate more milestones in life.

“But not only wedding anniversaries, but that people are being able to contribute longer to society and benefitting from healthcare that is being improved constantly,” Tarnowski said. “The doctors – having state-of-the-art technology in their hands is being put to very good use.”

Derby day almost here Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Eagle eye James Erkenbeck of San Diego, Calif., watches as his ball sails through the air towards the first hole at the Hylands Golf Club on the first day of play during the four-day National Capital Open to Support Our Troops golf tournament. Sam Ryder of Florida was the winner of the Mackenzie-Tour PGA Tour Canada event, securing his first career victory. The golf tournament, which supports Canadian Armed Forces personnel, attracted 156 professional golfers.

Final preparations are underway for the end of summer fun fest otherwise known as the Manotick Soapbox Derby.

It is set for Aug. 30.

And the fun this year will include Super Kids races that allow children with physical and mental challenges to participate as well.

Although this is the first year that the Super Kids program will be a part of the Manotick derby, it won’t be just a one-time deal.

Originally, derby organizers were to borrow two of the specially designed Super Kids derby carts for this summer’s event. But local derby organizers, the Manotick Village Community Association, have decided to purchase outright the two Super Kids derby carts they are borrowing for this year’s derby.

Derby organizer Allan Haan said that means that the Super Kids aspect of the derby will be a regular feature of the Manotick derby going for-

seven years of age to race and can purchase a kit online, or make a race cart from items found around the house. Specifications for the carts can also be found on the MVCA website. The MVCA also has a limited number of carts available that have been sponsored by associations and businesses in the community for youth who do not have a racing cart.

The MVCA has 14 available slots for riders in the sevensponsored carts.

The family-friendly event also includes a community picnic.

Watch out for good deals, but don’t feel obligated to rush around every store in town.

Add common sense to your list of supplies Lifestyle - Does just thinking about back-to-school shopping bring on a headache? Perhaps you’re not going about it the right way. Here are a few fail-safe tricks that can make the job more bearable, maybe even enjoyable!

Once you have in hand your child’s list of required supplies, make an inventory of what you might already have at home. Some things are reusable, such as binders, pencil cases, and duotangs, and you might have leftovers from last fall’s backto-school purchases. This is a good way to save money and to show your children how to avoid the trap of buying things just because they’re on the shelf in front of you. Before you leave home, consult store flyers to find the best deals. Get out the calculator so that you can compare oranges with oranges and apples with apples.

In the store, try to avoid the temptation of items featuring the images of famous singers or movie stars; they are usually a lot more expensive.

Buy in bulk when possible, especially such things as lined paper pads, pencils, erasers, and other items which appear every year on the lists supplied by schools. By doing this, you’ll be able to save a lot of money.

Don’t wait until the last minute. If you do, you will have to join the grisly battlefields that store aisles become in the early days of September. Avoid shopping during the busy hours of the day; mornings, especially at the beginning of the week, are the perfect time to shop in peace. Don’t buy anything that isn’t on the list.

My child is ready for school, but I’m not Practise taking the route to school. In other words, if you get your children used to the new routine, you will probably feel reassured as well.

I the last days before school starts, and after offering all the support you can give to your children, give yourself some time to catch your breath. You deserve a break after all the back-toschool rushing around.

Relax in a candle-lit bubble bath, go for a walk or distract yourself with a good book.

Acknowledge your feelings without any judgment, and just try to enjoy yourself.

It is OK to feel nervous, but do try to avoid becoming overwhelmed by anxiety. This would be upsetting

to your children. Little boys and girls are very perceptive.

By showing that they are in control of the situation, parents will help their children feel safe and self-confident.

The first day of school is certainly a very special time, but it is a normal step in the life of any child. So relax, keep smiling, and above all, be positive.

As your child’s first ever day at school approaches, try not to be overwhelmed by anxiety; this could be very upsetting for your little one.

Watching children leave home for their very first day of school is always an emotional time for parents.

After a last goodbye, many mums and dads will spill tears of joy and pride, but sometimes those tears can be caused by anguish and worry.

Leaving children in the hands of strangers is never easy.

Parents must prepare themselves in advance so they can keep their composure during this big day in the lives of their children.

It is helpful to establish the new routine several days before school starts.

Set the alarm clock to wake up at a reasonable hour and take the time to eat breakfast with your children.

Joy of reading can be a great gift to children Sharing with your children the joy of reading is to offer them the most beautiful gift in the world: an open door to wonder and imagination, which they will be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives.

There is no need to wait: research shows that children experience more academic success when the pleasures of words and reading are kindled before they start school.

It is important, of course, to adapt the reading material to the age of the child.

From zero to 2 years, babies will literally devour their books! Baby books must be very durable and, ideally, washable.

As soon as babies can focus on an image, sharing a book together with a parent is a great way to spend time together.

From three to five years, children start to be interested in stories with a narrative. Toddlers are likely to ask you to read them the same book night after night.

Comply without grumbling, because a passion is being born! Preschoolers, on the other hand, usually appreciate a variety of stories and illustrations.

When they are school-age, continue to read

to your children, even if they already know how to read alone. school

Then, gradually, take it in turns to read in order to encourage their progress.

In addition to readers sent home from school, visit your local library as well so that you children can have access to a wider variety of books. An enjoyable outing to the library can be an incentive to read in itself.

Last but not least, if they see you reading and hear you talking passionately about the books that you read, your children will almost inevitably grow up with a desire to do the same.

Research shows that children experience more academic success when they are exposed to books and stories before they start school.

How to live with your teen’s latest look The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes.

When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents.

It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties.

Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends.

This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters before setting out.

Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool.

After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look.

If that doesn’t work, con-

sider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match?

Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school.

Explain your concerns about wasting money and leave the door open for other compromises.

We can do it: let’s unite to eradicate bullying According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school.

Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom.

Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

TYPES OF BULLYING

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge.

6 1 3 • 8 6 7 • 5 7 7 4

Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation.

Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti.

Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature.

Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone.

DEVASTATING EFFECTS

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are

Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club

also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of selfconfidence, and nightmares.

Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide.

No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation.

Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying.

Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully?

Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800-6686868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

Victim or witness: now’s the time to act.

Tool library finds new space Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

The Ottawa Tool Library has found a home.

The tool-lending non-profit is set to move into Makerspace North, a warehouse in Little Italy that has space for start-ups to rent. The tool library was established last year and has been raising funds and collecting tools while it sought a location.

The tool library’s mantra is to enable do-it-yourself work by pooling resources. It will offer residents a way to complete projects without having to go out and buy tools for a single job, said Bettina Vollmerhausen, one of the library’s co-founders.

“It’s an amazing community service that every neighbourhood needs,” Vollmerhausen said. “Many years ago, you used to know your neighbours

and know who had what tools.

You knew you could borrow your ladder from Joe. That’s less common these days.”

The library started a crowd funding campaign in the spring to help raise money for rent.

After the funds were secured, Vollmerhausen wanted to find a central location and easily accessible by many modes of transportation.

She said the new 46.5-squaremetre space at 250 City Centre, Bay #208, meets those criteria and also gives the library room to grow.

“It was a natural fit for us,” Vollmerhausen said. “It’s a huge industrial bay.”

The tool library will be the country’s 13th when it opens in September. One of the first tool libraries in Canada opened in Vancouver in 2011. Since then, three have opened in Toronto.

In addition to providing tools to members, Vollmerhausen said the library will serve as a place where people can come to learn about tools through workshops.

“We thought this is fabulous, because not only will we be able to connect people with tools, but with knowledge,” she said.

The library has already collected more than 300 tools for its inventory, which will offer four different types of tools – hand tools, power tools, garden tools and kitchen tools. Memberships cost $50 per individual or $150 for a group.

Vollmerhausen said the library is still looking for tool donations as well as volunteers.

Canada Cares campaign spotlights role of caregivers Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

One in four Canadian families cares for someone with a disability, but rarely do their daily efforts get recognized.

The Canada Cares campaign aims to change that, offering the opportunity for caregivers to be nominated for an award or cash prize. A program of the Canadian Abilities Foundation, Canada Cares has implemented the campaign for the past three years.

Until Sept. 18, residents are asked to nominate a friend, family member or professional caregiver, explaining what the caregiver could do with the top prize of $10,000.

For Caroline Tapp-McDougall, chair of Canada Cares,

the experience of caring for her mother opened her eyes to what caregivers go through.

“My mom was stroke disabled, and I cared for her for 12 years,” she said, adding that her father suffered from ALS at the time.

“No one was saying ‘Thank you,’ or recognizing that huge contribution. Caregivers can be anyone – young parents with a disabled child or someone with an older parent. We’re trying to shed light, joyfully, on the role of the caregiver.”

Canada Cares will present 10 awards at the Home Care Conference in Ottawa in November – five for family and friends, and another five for professional caregivers. The contest spans the country, with winners selected from four

regions. One will receive the $10,000 Canada Cares One Wish Award, which is sponsored by CBI group.

A Caregiver-Friendly Workplace Award and Caring Community Award will also be handed out.

Tapp-McDougall said the need for caregivers is rising as the population ages.

“Caregivers often feel alone,” she said. “One thing this does is make them part of a team, outside of just their own family,” Tapp-McDougall said if caregivers feel their contribution is recognized, it’ll help them in their day-to-day tasks.

Information and application forms for the contest can be found at www.canadacares. org.

Meet Beauty (ID#A178274) a sweet, loving girl looking for her new best friend.

It’s easy to tell how Beauty got her name, as she is a very pretty cat. This gentle girl would love a comfortable home where she can play with her favourite toys, explore her new surroundings and curl up on the couch at the end of the day.

Beauty has lived with both cats and dogs in the past and they got along great. She has always been an indoor cat and would like to continue to be an indoor kitty in her new home.

Could Beauty be your purr-fect match?

R0013429075.0827

value of animals in our lives.

As with all walks, that’s the invigorating part. But the difference is the fun.

Join the fun on Sept. 13, 2015, at Queen Juliana Park.

Toby

Hi I am Toby little Shihpoo I’m 8 months I understand 3 languages English, French and Spanish. People said I smile all the time and I am very friendly, I think I am like my mom.

I’m so blessed to have a wonderful parents because they love me so much, specially my dad because he walks me 3 times a day. I like when my dad brings me every evening and also the weekends in the mornings to the park to play with my friends. I like to go with my dad for a ride in the car and put my face outside the window in the wind , but when he goes to do the grocery he doesn’t bring me because he told me is too hot in the car which make me a bit sad because I like to be in the car. When I’m in the house I like to play hide and seek with my dad and also I like to go jogging with my mom, because I want to be in shape.

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, your mind is racing a mile a minute. Although it may be challenging, you have to find a way to slow down and focus on one thing for the time being.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, put some thought into your long-term financial goals. Planning now will help you realize your goals down the road. Don’t put off a meeting with your advisor.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you will get another crack at an opportunity that recently passed you by. Just be patient and prepare for the chance that awaits you in the near future.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, your attention to detail can make your projects take much longer than others’, but that’s what separates you from the pack. If it’s worth doing, it is worth doing right.
