A Moodie goodbye

It was bittersweet as Grade 7 and 8 students from D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School and Featherston Drive Elementary School took to the pitch at Lafrange Field in Alta Vista for their fourth and final cricket tournament together, ahead of D.A. Moodie’s permanent closure this week. Taking part in the sports day on June 21 were Featherston teacher Nick Janna, who looks on as Moodie student Tristan Laliberte, 13, bowls.
Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club community in August. “I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored championship. Canadian golfing legend Lorie Kane, who will also compete, took part in

the event preview, which included a friendly skills competition. In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been redesigned – a month ago. Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the major LPGA Tour championship, in which a total purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes.” See CLUB, page 2

“But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” said Henderson, who won the prestigious Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan on June 18 and is defending her title at the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Chicago June 27 to July 2. The pro golfer will have “a rare” two weeks off in the lead-up to the Canadian Women’s Open, which drew 96 of the world’s top 100 women golfers in 2016. This year, 156 golfers will compete for the coveted trophy at the Ottawa club. Henderson plans to spend that downtime practising at ‘the Ottawa Hunt,’ as the private club is known locally. “Winning (the) Canadian Open would be extremely special and probably the most meaningful event for me out on tour,” she said. “Just having so much support come from Canada, I think – I
don’t know, its just hard to explain – but it would be extremely special for me to be able to hoist that trophy.” During the preview, Henderson was joined by Kane in a skills competition, during which they chipped balls at targets to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the 2017 Canadian Women’s Open’s charity of choice. YOUNG CHEO STAR
A star of the press conference, flanked by Henderson and Kane, was Kanata’s Zander Zatylny. The CHEO cardiac patient was born with a rare congenital heart defect in which there is just one heart blood vessel, restricting blood flow. “It means so much,” Chrystal Raymond said of her seven-year-old son’s role as the 2017 Women’s Open child ambassador.

A NEW CHAPTER IS UNFOLDING AT
QUEENSWAY CARLETON HOSPITAL 2017 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY • SUPPLEMENT Do you remember Expo 67? Gordon Lightfoot’s Canadian Railroad Trilogy, or the lighting of the Centennial Flame. The hundreds of centennial projects that broke ground across the country. Canada’s centennial year was a year of celebration; a year of remembering the past, but also building for the future. 50 years on, as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary, Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) is embarking on a new chapter of its own, having just marked its 40th anniversary year. We have a vision to transform our hospital, laying a foundation for a generation to come.
ENHANCING MORE THAN JUST SPACE
SEIZING THE MOMENT With the newly launched Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly Unit, and a revamped Emergency Department, QCH has had much to celebrate this year. But we’ve really only just begun. In April 2017, QCH received approval for a new Mental Health expansion and renovation, made possible through QCH Foundation’s Hopes Rising campaign, and provincial government funding. With groundbreaking on the horizon, and units due to be shuffled, we’re seizing the moment to revamp the remainder of our original 1976 hospital space – the original building that opened its doors to this community some 40 years ago. 6 Ottawa South News - Thursday, June 29, 2017
We’re preparing for a full transformation from the original building design, with increased natural light, accessible washrooms, glare free flooring, and enhanced technology for optimal patient care and comfort. We’re integrating what we’ve learned through the success of our ACE Unit, and enhancing our space unit-by-unit. It’s a major undertaking, renovating three inpatient units and our mental health unit; we are scheduled to break ground this year and wrap up by 2020.
This year, QCH is also improving one of its busiest services in diagnostic imaging. Every year, QCH performs some 7500 mammograms, helping to detect breast cancer faster, when it is most treatable. As demand from our community increases, we are seeking support for new, advanced 3D mammography technology, the gold standard in breast imaging. This his new technology will allow us to screen more people and offer enhanced imaging, improving diagnoses. It’s all part of preparing for the future, and we’re committed to enhancing both our physical space and our care to do just that.
As we celebrate our nation’s 150th anniversary, we also say thank you to our community for supporting QCH for the past 40 years. As Canada looks towards the future, QCH is building for our community to be able to provide you and your family with the best possible care when you need us most.
Riverside South students chip in for grassroots refugee sponsorship By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Strangers helping strangers is creating strong connections within Riverside South and as far away as Lebanon. “All the Canadians are sensitive. I know this. And they feel for others,” said Bassam Daya, holding his sleeping daughter, Irénie. “I’m not surprised. They raise their children up in a proper way.” The Nepean resident and his wife, Rama Kasrin, joined members of Riverside South for Refugees, a grassroots group working to bring a Syrian refugee family to Ottawa, at St. Jerome Catholic elementary school in Riverside South on June 22. There, students with the social studies action team, SHOUT, presented the refugee sponsor group with more than $1,700 to help its members realize their goal much sooner. The hope is that the refugees – Hani, his wife, Dima, and their fivemonth-old son, Paul – will arrive in Ottawa in three months and finally be reunited with
Erin McCracken/Metroland
St. Jerome Catholic elementary school students Annie Doyle, 12, (centre left) and Elly Hutt, 11, present funds the school’s students and its SHOUT team raised to help bring a Syrian refugee family to Ottawa and reunite them with Nepean residents Bassam Daya, his wife Rama Kasrin and their five-month-old daughter, Irénie. Hani’s sister, Kasrin. “We knew we were going to raise a lot of money, but we didn’t know we were going to raise that much,” said student Elly Hutt, 11, joined by Annie Doyle, 12, who presented the cheque during a packed school assembly that also drew Gloucester South-Nepean
Coun. Michael Qaqish, the city’s special liaison for refugee resettlement. The hardships faced by Hani and Dima in Lebanon touched the girls and their peers. “We try to make a difference in that way. We need them to try to move to a better place so they can have a better life,” Elly
said. “They don’t deserve to live there.” That children wanted to help change the lives of strangers in need did not surprise Daya, Kasrin or the sponsor group. “And how they did it, selling candy grams for 50 cents?” said Riverside South resident Jennifer Vollrath, who is part of
the local group that is working with South Gloucester United Church. “It basically goes back to ‘be kind and help others.’” Vollrath and her fellow volunteers have held countless fundraisers in their quest to support a family in need. They also raised $21,000 to help another refugee family that is being sponsored by a Little Italy group. “Every little bit helps,” Vollrath said. “Every little candy gram helps. The full family reunification and the significance – this will help alter their lives, the people they’re helping come to Canada,” She and her team of about 40 people are on a final push to raise the remaining $5,000 of the $23,000 needed for the private sponsorship. “We’re so close,” said fellow member Jan Moleski. “That is the last item that we need to fulfil in order to get a green light to get them over here.” Moleski and her husband Peter Shand, of Riverside South, said they’ve donated to other causes over the years, but this initiative fosters deeper con-
nections. “You have a very concrete way to help,” Shand said. Since Daya and Kasrin connected with Riverside South for Refugees, they’ve all become extended family, and even threw a baby shower for Kasrin. “It was really marvellous,” Daya said of the group’s early decision to support his wife’s family. “Rama went to the Lebanese farm and got 15 bunches of parsley. She made a huge pot of tabbouleh and that’s how we celebrated them. She spent two days making the tabbouleh. That was the beginning.” WHAT’S ON:
Riverside South for Refugees is holding a fundraising dinner, featuring Syrian food, a silent auction and 50/50 draw on July 28, from 6 to 11 p.m., at Emmanuel United Church, at 691 Smyth Rd. in Alta Vista. Tickets are $50 and must be purchased in advance by emailing rs4refugees@gmail.com, or going to facebook.com/ RS4Refugees.

Celebrate Canada’s glory July 1
C
anada’s 150th birthday is a time of celebration, but don’t ever think that this achievement was easy. The Fathers of Confederation had great dreams back in 1867, but these were not enough to ensure success as a nation. Over the ensuing years, the country has met challenge after challenge — the Riel Rebellion, two world wars, the Depression, the Quebec crisis, to name but a few. Canada has come through it all, and has grown to be acknowledged as one of the most inclusive and free countries in the world. When asked what best describes Canada, our health- care system is frequently mentioned. But it is not the health-care system itself that defines Canada. It is simply the product of Canada’s most enduring traits — a desire for everyone to be treated fairly, equally, and with respect. The health system does this. These traits pervade Canadian society. That’s why refugees have been welcomed here. That’s why gay, lesbian and transgender rights are now a fact of life in our country. That’s why multiculturalism is prevalent in Canada, in sharp contrast to the melting pot concept in the United States. Of course, Canada is not perfect. More needs to
be done for mental health. More needs to be done in helping the homeless and the working poor. And more needs to be done to reach reconciliation with indigenous peoples. While 150 years of nationhood for Canada is cause for celebration, our indigenous neighbours in this country have a history not of hundreds but of thousands of years. Theirs is a tradition and lifestyle that deserves respect and admiration, not the prejudice and disdain that has prevailed in past years. It’s time for the resolution of the country’s indigenous relationship so that we can all go forward in mutual respect and equality. There is much to be proud of in Canada. Any list of recipients of the Order of Canada reveals a myriad of accomplishments, from medicine to entertainment to sports to high tech to the creative arts, and more. Yet, many recipients are relatively unknown to their fellow citizens. That’s just the Canadian way. Do something, do it well, and do it with little fanfare. July 1 this year, though, is a time to break this mould, at least for a day, and celebrate Canada and all its achievements over the past 150 years. Canadians are a hard-working, good-hearted, generous, respectful people. This is Canada’s strength. This is Canada’s glory. This is our Canada. Happy Canada Day!
Enjoy the fact that Canada is 150 and a democracy
E
xperienced news media consumers know that we like nothing better than to spoil your fun. There is not a happy occasion that comes without cautionary words. A particularly creative example of this was in the newspaper the other day, an article about how summer can make you sad. Turned out the article was in a British newspaper and perhaps summer is different there. The sad part, according to the article, comes from the fact that you have to watch your friends having fun while you’re not, or you have to watch your friends leave for exciting vacations while you’re stuck in town. So watch out for that. Plus, the article doesn’t even mention all the bad things the summer sun can do to you. You can add this to the list of
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town warnings about other pleasurable events in all seasons. Christmas, as we all know, is problematic because we overeat and overdrink. Music festivals, as we were warned the other day, are rife with dangerous drugs. Boating is fun but watch out for the water. And don’t forget about all the perils of play structures. With this in mind, we have a different way of looking at the approach of Canada’s 150th birthday: stay hydrated and don’t forget the sunscreen. Of course, if you were of a mind, you could apply the warning label
approach to our nation as a whole: Canada, while seemingly a free and pleasant place, can make you sad. Canada is cold. You could freeze, or your car could. Canada has a vigorous sporting life but you could get hit with a flying hockey puck. In the autumn, Canada’s trees change colours and can be quite beautiful but you could hurt your back raking them up. This is not a problem that affects countries that have no trees. Canada is cursed with trees. Canada has two languages but you might not be able to understand the one being spoken to you at any particular time. Canada is plagued by mosquitoes, wasps, bears, black flies, cougars, raccoons and, um, leeches. Canada is multicultural, which means there are parts of town where you can’t get a decent grilled cheese sandwich.

So you should celebrate carefully. Always keep a bucket of water handy and some sand. Canada is located right next to the United States. That could be a problem. Also, some of your friends might be leaving for exciting vacations in the United States and that could make you sad. When the snow melts in the spring that could make you sad because your basement floods. Canada’s health system is the envy of many in the world but it costs the Earth to park at the hospital. Sad.

Ottawa hosts 150 special fitness events Sites include Greenboro, Sawmill Creek, Canterbury, Mooney’s Bay
I introduced Bill 145 WSIB Coverage for Workers in Residential Care Facilities and Group Homes on June 1. If passed, my private member’s bill will expand mandatory workplace safety and insurance coverage for employees of group homes and residential care facilities including retirement homes, rest homes and senior citizen’s residences.
By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Get fit 150 different ways. In honour of Canada’s milestone birthday year, 150 special fitness events are taking place at recreation centres across Ottawa until Dec. 31. For south Ottawa residents, there are several ways they can get fit and have fun. “We tried spreading them out across the city as best we could so everyone gets to participate in their own community,” said Kendra Sheedy, communications co-ordinator for Recreation, Cultural and Facility Services with the City of Ottawa. “We wanted to take programs that already existed and put a unique spin on it.” First up is a 150 Birthday Swim at the Canterbury Pool and the Sawmill Creek Community Centre and Pool in Blossom Park. Residents can swim 150 metres in designated lanes, until August 30, for a regular swim fee. Those who complete the swim will receive a certificate and their name will be featured on the Birthday Swim Hall of Fame. There are also a number of group fitness options you can try, including an All Canadian Workout at the Greenboro Community Centre on July 6, from 6 to 7 p.m. “It’s a functional fitness class, but the exercises are going to focus on muscle groups to do with common Canadian activities,” Sheedy said, such as playing hockey, shovelling snow and gardening. “Participants are asked to come in red-andwhite attire,” she added. A women’s-only beach volleyball tournament takes place at Mooney’s Bay Park on July 19. Teams can register for $122.25. “It’s a first-ever tournament at Mooney’s Bay,” Sheedy said, adding that registration is now open and can be done online, by phone or at a city service centre. Then on August 5, the Greenboro Community Centre hosts a push-up and sit-up challenge from 9 to 10 a.m. It’s a great way to test yourself, but also have an instructor tweak your technique, said Sheedy, adding this is a unique class not typically offered.
WSIB Coverage for Workers in Residential Care Facilities and Group Homes
Currently, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) coverage is optional for employers in these settings. Often employees are covered through private insurance policies which can vary by employers. However, employees in long term-care homes and hospitals have mandatory WSIB coverage. Despite performing comparable work, employees in residential care facilities and group homes often do not have equal access to those same workplace protections.

A number of special fitness events and classes are being offered across Ottawa to mark Canada’s 150th birthday, including a women’s-only volleyball tournament at Mooney’s Bay beach. Fast-forward to Sept. 19 when a disco-style Zumba Party takes over the Greenboro Community Centre from 7:10 to 8:10 p.m. “It’ll be like an evening dance party, but you’ll also get a workout in too,” said Sheedy. And October is when the zombies come out. For the first time ever, a Zombie Indoor Cycle fitness class will take place at the Greenboro Community Centre, just in time for Halloween. Everyone is invited to dress like zombies for the workout on Oct. 27, from 9 to 10 a.m. Coinciding with a Fall Community Festival for the Hunt Club and Riverside Park communities, a free outdoor fitness session will be added to the festivities with outdoor fitness demonstrations and children’s games led by a city program leader, said Sheedy. That event takes place Sept. 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre. “Our goal is really to get residents active and participating in an activity they might otherwise not have participated in,” Sheedy said. “Get out there, get active, engage in your community and have fun while you’re doing it.” For details, visit ottawa.ca/en/residents/ recreation-and-parks/fitness#ottawa-fit-150.

WSIB provides greater protections with regards to income replacement in the event of injury while at work. WSIB coverage means compensation for loss of earnings at 85 percent of pre-injury net earnings; payment of all health care costs including services not covered by OHIP; non-economic loss awards for permanent injuries and compensation for loss of retirement income at age 65. It is important to note that many workers in group homes and residential care facilities have more than one job. WSIB provides total income replacement versus income lost in one workplace, providing greater protection than most private policies. The bill aims to protect vulnerable workers in Ontario’s health care system by extending mandatory coverage of WSIB. I have heard too many stories about a worker who has been injured at work unable to access the benefits that we would expect them to receive. It is only fair that workers in similar settings receive the same protections, especially as it relates to workplace safety. Workers in group homes and residential care facilities care for the people we care for most. It is important that they receive strong workplace protections.

Oh Canada: We have a drinking problem BRYNNA A
s Canadians kick off the official start to summer with what is expected to be Ottawa’s biggest party ever for Canada’s sesquicentennial, we are sure to have cocktails in hand. And there’s a lot to celebrate. It was announced in December that Canada topped Lonely Planet’s “best places to travel in 2017” list. A few months after that, Canada was recognized in an international survey as the second best country in the world. “The Best Countries” survey of 21,000 individuals across 80 countries is conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Young & Rubicam’s BAV Consulting and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Canada ranks high in a number of categories based on citizens’ self-reported satisfaction with things like quality of life (including
LESLIE
Capital Muse politics, economy and access to health care), education, citizenship, green living and being open for business. The survey also ranks Canada fifth of 80 as being a great place to raise children and a positive place for women’s empowerment. No doubt about it, Canada is a great country and we should revel in that. But it may be how we’re revelling that is problematic. Canadians are among the highest consumers of alcohol in the world, drinking 50 per cent more than the global average. It seems harmless,
but Canadians need to wake up to the reality that alcohol is now a known leading contributor of more than 200 significant diseases and potentially fatal injuries. A 2010 study from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health found that alcohol is the third leading cause of premature death, after smoking and high blood pressure. And not much has improved in the last seven years. A 2017 study by the Canadian Institute for Health Information found that more Canadians were hospitalized
for alcohol than for heart attacks last year. CIHI reports that 77,000 Canadians were admitted to hospital for alcohol-related reasons in 2016, for things like alcohol poisoning and liver failure, compared to just 75,000 for heart attacks. The statistics don’t include hospitalizations related to driving or unreported personal injury from alcohol, which would see the numbers spike. Health advocates are concerned that the government may not be taking Canada’s drinking problem seriously enough. In June, it was the beer and wine lobby that saw a huge win when the Senate voted 46-32 to amend the Liberals’ omnibus budget bill. Among the amendments was the removal an automatic two-per-cent increase in tax on alcohol, with a plan to further increase alcohol taxes annually adjusted for inflation. That’s off the table now. It's money that health
advocates would have liked to see put directly into hospitals and preventive care. The CIHI researchers note that overconsumption of alcohol is an enormous (and often overlooked) burden on our health-care system and also on Canadians’ quality of life. Eighty per cent of Canadians drink. (Nothing says summer like a cold brew by a lake.) But in the last few decades more has become known about the effects of alcohol on overall health. Alcohol consumption — even moderately for some people — significantly increases the risk of cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. “From 1990 to 2010, alcohol increased from the sixth to the third leading risk factor for death and disability globally,” notes the CIHI study. There are a number of things that affect how Canadians consume their
brews. Areas that have more privatized sales of liquor tend to see higher consumption. Men are hospitalized more frequently than women for alcohol-related problems. Adolescent girls are more often treated for overconsumption than teen boys. And there are regional discrepancies as well. “Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Yukon and the Northwest Territories had higher-than-average rates of both alcohol sales and heavy drinking,” notes the report. Perhaps as we nurse our nation’s collective hangover in the days following the sesquicentennial celebrations, we should take the time in that self-loathing state to seriously contemplate our nation’s collective drinking problem. Because, regardless of diet, exercise and other factors, alcohol has the significant potential to reduce our quality life and cut short our time in what is one of the greatest countries on Earth.

Ottawa police assigned to the Ottawa International Airport are now capable of carrying high-powered carbine riles, similar to the model of weapon pictured here.
Ottawa police add extra firepower to airport By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Extra firepower is giving more teeth to security at the Ottawa International Airport. Ottawa police officers assigned to the airport are now able to carry carbine rifles in order to boost public safety and better respond to security threats. The addition came into effect on June 22. “It gives another level of a useof-force option to respond to any events that would threaten the safety of critical infrastructure, such as the Ottawa airport,” said Staff Sgt. Atallah Sadaka, who heads up the Ottawa police airport policing unit. “I think when you’re looking at world events and world climate, it’s important for us to be prepared to respond to any level of issues that may occur.” Carbine rifles, which require specialized training and have been used by the Ottawa Police Service in high-risk incidents since 2006, are high powered and have greater accuracy at longer distances. “It has an ability to penetrate through high levels of armour,” Sadaka said. The timing of the addition does not coincide with Canada Day festivities, which are expected to draw an estimated 500,000 people to downtown Ottawa. “This stretches beyond that,” he said. “It’s great that we have this piece now in place leading up to and after Canada 150, but it’s an ongoing strategy.” Nor was the addition prompted by specific incidents at the Ottawa airport, though there have been security breaches at airports elsewhere. “As recently as a couple of days ago in Michigan there was an incident where an officer at the airport was stabbed by an individ-
ual,” Sadaka said. “Here, we’re not responding to any specific piece of intelligence that’s telling us that this is what we need to do. “I think it’s in light of ensuring that the safety and security of the airport is always reviewed and that we have the ability to employ any kind of strategies that allow us to respond to any issues that occur.” There will be times when travellers passing through the Ottawa airport will see officers carrying the large black guns on patrol. Asked whether the big guns may feel intimidating to travellers, Sadaka said the response to other security measures has been positive. “Seeing the carbine rifles, I think to some, may be an eyebrow-raiser,” he said, but added that if travellers ask officers about the weapons and learn the reasons for their deployment, they’ll be understanding. “At the end of the day it’s for the security and safety of trav-
ellers and our community out here,” Sadaka said. The new security measure dovetails with the Ottawa International Airport’s ongoing commitment to ensuring the highest degree of safety and security of all airport users, Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said in a statement. “This includes working closely with our law enforcement partners to regularly employ various security measures such as the deployment of the Ottawa Police Service carbines.” FEEL SAFER
Asked whether the extra firepower may be a turnoff or seem intimidating to arriving or departing passengers, authority spokesperson Krista Kealey said the authority has long been vocal about its “commitment to safety and security.” “I think this is just another ele-
ment of that, and I think there are a lot of people who would actually feel even more safe,” she told Metroland Media. “The way we’re looking at it is that it’s another element of the tool kit that (the Ottawa Police Service) has available at the airport so that they can ensure safety and security,” Kealey said. “We look at it as an element of deterrence and mitigation.” Echoing Sadaka, Kealey said the timing of the added firepower is not related to Canada Day celebrations or an increase in traffic volumes related to that event. The airport is, in fact, experiencing higher numbers, by two per cent year over year, following a few years of flatlining activity. “We constantly do what we can to review all of our safety and security policies and make changes and enhancements,” she said. “I guess it’s the times that we live in, but we want to make sure that we have everything available to us to ensure safety and security.”

Pizza for Parkinson’s Fundraiser During the entire month of July, Boston Pizza (2980 Conroy Road) and KS on the Keys Restaurant (1029 Dazé Street) will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of large pizzas to Parkinson Canada. The funds raised will help provide programs and services in support of those living with Parkinson’s and those caring for them. 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 www.parkinson.ca. I encourage residents to visit these two great Gloucester-Southgate restaurants during July and purchase a large pizza to support this fundraising effort! New Bookmobile Schedule Residents should be aware that the Ottawa Public Library (OPL) will be piloting changes to bookmobile stops on a trial basis starting July 3, 2017. The bookmobile stop at the Blossom Park Plaza (2950 Bank Street) will be changing its time from Saturday afternoons to Mondays from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the same location. The OPL will be evaluating these changes to ensure the best service possible and will approve any permanent changes or continued pilots in the fall. The Bookmobile is a valuable community resource allowing residents who cannot easily access a library branch to check out books, DVDs, audiobooks and magazines quickly and efficiently. Children, youth, seniors and people who are mobility impaired are among those who appreciate Bookmobile services in their community. To learn more about the bookmobile please visit www.biblioottawalibrary.ca. Speed Reduction on River Road I am pleased to announce that the Transportation Committee recommendation to reduce the speed limit on River Road between Lowen Drive to 110m south of Tewsley Drive to 60 km/h was approved with overwhelming support at the June 14 City Council meeting. This initiative was the result of numerous requests from the surrounding communities and local residents. It is both a safety issue and an issue related to the increase in traffic volume as a result of the opening of the Vimy Memorial Bridge. The date of implementation for this reduction will be within 6-8 weeks. I look forward to better road safety for Ward 10 residents. Free OC Transpo Service on Canada Day OC Transpo will be offering free service all day on Canada Day and operating a special holiday schedule with extra service during the day and after the fireworks. The O-Train Trillium Line will also run throughout the day and all evening until 1:00 a.m. For more information on holiday schedules and to plan your trip with OC Transpo, please visit www.octranspo.com or phone 613-741-4390. I wish all Gloucester-Southgate residents a safe and happy Canada Day!
Contest period opens at 12:01 am ET Thursday, June 22nd and ends at 11:59 p.m. on July 6th. For information on how to enter and for complete contest rules visit www.ottawacommunitynews.com(bit.ly/2s4JRiw)

Eastway Gardens residents frustrated by chasing city, light-rail officials for answers By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Week In Review! 911 Blade Sign Replacement Program I am happy to say that the 911 blade sign replacement program has begun in the Ward at the Osgoode Care Centre (OCC) on Snake Island Road. The original white with green blade signs came from the Osgoode Township Municipal Funds (1998) prior to amalgamation. After many years of withstanding our inconsistent climate, the older signs have begun to deteriorate. With the older sign deteriorating, I felt as though proactive action was necessary. Considering public safety is such a major concern of mine, I am proud to say that I have secured funding and created a onetime program to have the rusted signs along main roads replaced. Residents on main roads will be provided with a new blade sign free of charge (poles not included) and are asked to replace their previous one at their earliest convenience. If you are unable to install your new sign due to physical limitations, please contact my office and I will arrange to have the Volunteer Firefighters assist in the installation. The roads included in this project are: Belmeade, Mitch Owens, Snake Island, Yorks Corners, River Road, 8th Line, 9th Line, Stagecoach, Manotick Station, Parkway, Osgoode Main, Bank St.(Hwy. 31), Dalmeny, Gordon Murdock, Nixon, Marvelville, and Blanchefield. Open Door This week I had a very special visitor named Matthew Howell. Matt just returned from Toronto where he was serving as a Page in the Ontario Legislature. His experience was “fantastic” as he says. He gained insight into how the Government works at a different level than Municipal. Welcome back Matt! Another nice surprise was fresh baking from a resident, it made my afternoon! Thank you to resident Kay Porteous for her nice little surprise. I had another great visitor; one of the first residents to stop in for their 911 Blade sign. It was a pleasure to give it to him in person. See everyone next Open Door! 2951 Army Cadets’ Mess Dinner It was such an incredible honour for me to attend the 2951 Army Cadets’ Mess Dinner tonight. I presented to the cadets both a certificate from Mayor Jim Watson and from myself. I also received a very special coin from Captain Marc LJ Bedard. This cadet corps has worked incredibly hard to reach their goals and I am so proud of the continuous growth that the cadets demonstrate. This corps truly is family. Thank you for the memorable evening and again, thank you for all of the hard work that the staff, volunteers, and cadets do.
Eastway Gardens residents who watched in horror last week as a number of apparently healthy trees were killed off to make room for a city light-rail construction project have been mollified with answers — but only after a number of emailed appeals. Residents say they are now satisfied to learn that safety and tree type are the reasons upwards of a dozen trees couldn’t be transplanted elsewhere in the community from the earthen berm that separates Eastway Gardens and the Belfast Road light-rail maintenance and storage facility. Still, residents said getting the answers felt like another high-

Eastway Gardens residents M.J. Beauchamp (left) and Dee Derby stand on Derby’s backyard porch overlooking an earthen berm now being removed by excavators. They were among a number of residents who cried foul as they watched trees on the dirt wall, which separates the Belfast light-rail yard and Eastway Gardens, being crushed by the machinery.

stakes battle as they now brace for a $100-million expansion to the LRT facility, prompting the removal of the berm and future construction of a noise-mitigating wall. “You get piecemeal (answers),” said longtime resident M.J. Beauchamp. “I think if they had talked about the difficulty in removing these trees, I think we would have had a clearer understanding,” said her neighbour Dee Derby. “It just gets to the whole lack of trust in the various levels of government,” she said. “I think trust again is the big one and I think the lack of consultation.” Forty-two trees have been temporarily transplanted in nearby Cecil Morrison Park, but a number couldn’t be saved due to the difficulty of getting a treeremoval machine onto the berm and because some of the trees had large root systems that were or would have been damaged in the process. “How can you fault that?” Beauchamp said. An assessment of the berm’s trees revealed 47 trees could be relocated. However, due to damage at the time of transplanting, 42 were moved to the park. “The others, while they may have looked healthy to the layperson, … it was determined by forestry experts that they could not be transplanted,” said Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, who met with forestry staff and Beauchamp on June 23. See CITY, page 13
City acknowledges residents deserve more advance information Continued from page 12
Residents were notified by email the second week of June about the transplanting plan, but both Cloutier and O-Train planning boss Chris Swail acknowledged the city could do better at providing more details in advance. “That was clear,” Swail said of the transplanting plans that were shared. “I think what wasn’t clear was the flip side of that — that there were trees we couldn’t save and you’ll be seeing those trees torn up unfortunately. That was the piece that wasn’t clarified. “I understand it. They’re seeing what looks like a perfectly healthy tree going to waste, and it’s a shame that that’s happening,” Swail said. “But unfortunately it’s a consequence of the construction that needs to take place right now.” As residents watched excavators digging up the berm the morning of June 22, they worried whether a highly anticipated public meeting would, in fact, be scheduled as promised by the end of June.
Erin McCracken/Metroland
An earthen berm separating the Belfast light-rail maintenance and storage facility from a Via Rail line and Eastway Gardens homes is trucked out ahead of a $100million expansion of the LRT yard. The meeting, which has since been called for June 29, is to offer some answers on plans to construct a wall in place of the berm, which will be fully gone in three weeks. The wall is to muffle
the noise of the rail yard. Residents, who worry the wall will create a compound effect, want to weigh in on the esthetic design of the wall and learn whether noise readings justify its
construction. “I honestly believe my health is being affected by this. Thinking about waking up in the morning and looking at a wall — I would rather look at the
building,” Derby said. “If the noise is not horrendous, do we really need a wall? I feel it doesn’t matter what we do, and we’re only this little section (of the city).” Because residents hadn’t yet been told by the morning of June 22 about a third meeting, they worried the wall’s design had already been set in stone, which they say is a sign of their mistrust over the city’s handling of projects in the area. At the June 29 meeting, they will view three wall-treatment options, as well as learn about the 450-metre-long wall’s height, location, design and how it will muffle noise. The rail builders, Rideau Transit Group, will also reveal the type of wall they prefer to construct based on a performance analysis. “In relation to the analysis, they have a design for what they would need to build that is basically the same look and feel of the existing wall across the back of the property,” Swail said, referring to a 180-metre-long wall at the northeast end of the LRT property.
“They (RTG) are willing to build that wall. The city though is going to have to come up the incremental costs associated with the building of that wall,” Swail said of the esthetic treatment, which will cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars. “They are only obligated to do what they need to do to meet the performance specifications.” Its construction is expected to begin in August or September, and the project is on track despite the delayed start. As well, work will begin on the foundation of the expanded facility this summer, at the same time or before the wall supports are installed. “I don’t think it’s going to be any more noisy than the berm removal,” Swail said of the foundation work. MEETING DETAILS:
Eastway Gardens residents are invited to a drop-in information meeting at the Belfast LRT yard, located at 805 Belfast Rd., on June 29, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., to learn about plans for the noise-mitigating wall.

Manotick resident wins $22M lottery jackpot By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A Manotick man is now a multimillionaire. Paul Hindo won the $22-million Lotto 6/49 jackpot from the June 14 draw. Seeing was not necessarily believing for Hindo, when he
scanned his ticket the day after the draw, revealing that he was the grand-prize winner. “I immediately left the store,” he said in a statement released June 22. “I pulled out my phone and checked the numbers online and they all matched up. That moment was unreal for me.”
He then validated his ticket at the store, which confirmed his win. “I was still very uncertain about everything. But the retailer knew right away,” said Hindo, who purchased his winning ticket at the Preston Newsstand in Little Italy. “She was so excited that I
IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on June 14, 2017 established its intention to designate Macdonald Gardens Park at 99 Cobourg Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 99 Cobourg Street, Macdonald Gardens Park Description of Property – 99 Cobourg Street Macdonald Gardens Park is an urban park bounded by Tormey, Cobourg, Heney and Wurtemburg Streets and is identified as being of cultural heritage value. The park was designed by landscape architect Frederick Todd in 1914 and is located in Lowertown East.
actually helped calm her down, which makes me laugh to think about it now.” Before the big win, Hindo said it was easy to dream how he would spend such a jackpot, such as on travel and a sports car. “Now, though, that all seems frivolous. This win can really do so much more,” said Hindo, who went to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s Toronto office to pick up his winnings. He has long been involved with a number of charities, such as health-care organizations, and he has supported the Canadian Armed Forces. His new-found jackpot will allow him to do much more. “I want to be wise and thoughtful with this money and continue to give back to Canada, which has been phenomenally generous to me and my family,” said Hindo, who moved to Canada 40 years ago from Iraq. “My father always said, ‘Citizenship is a privilege not a right.’ I honour his words every

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Macdonald Gardens Park, an evolving cultural heritage landscape, is of cultural heritage value as a park designed by Frederick Todd, one of Canada’s early landscape architects, who planned many parks across the country. The park has evolved from a cemetery, to one of Ottawa’s early planned landscapes with winding paths, native trees and open spaces, and a stone summer house on top of a hill, and is now a recreational park.
Canada Day: When more animals need us than any other day. The OHS is just a few days away from its the busiest day of the year: Canada Day. Why Canada Day? There are a few reasons: First, Canada Day is a very busy day helping dogs brought into the OHS. This is mainly because of the many fireworks displays on July 1st: the big one on Parliament Hill, and the many smaller ones throughout the City. And the 150th celebration means this year there will be more and bigger fireworks displays than we have seen in 50 years. The thing is, most dogs are terrified of fireworks. Even the best trained, never-wanders dog can bolt in fear during fireworks displays and end up at the shelter.
Macdonald Gardens Park is of historical value as an early project of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, which was established in 1899 to beautify the capital. The park also has historical value because it was constructed on the site of a former cemetery. Between the years 1845 and 1873 the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Wesleyan Methodist and Roman Catholic churches used this site as the Sandy Hill cemeteries. Macdonald Gardens Park’s contextual value lies in its landmark setting within the Lowertown area and its prominently located summer house on a hill. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Bo (ID# A200837)
Bo (ID# A200837) Meet Bo, a handsome and energetic boy looking for his new best friend. Bo is an active dog who loves to explore the outdoors, whether on walks, runs, hikes or even just playing in the yard — he never passes up the chance to get a healthy dose of exercise! Bo gets along great with canine friends but would prefer a feline-free home. Bo would benefit from an adult family who will help him learn lots of new tricks. Bo is currently participating in our LEAD (Leadership Education with Adolescents & Dogs) obedience training program and his adoption can’t be finalized until his last day of classes on July 2, but he’s available for viewing at the shelter in the meantime. For more information on Bo and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Second, late-June, early-July is peak season for animals surrendered to the OHS by their owner. As holidays approach, and vacation plans develop, sadly, many decide that their dog or cat doesn’t fit with those plans. The result? Hundreds surrendered to the OHS each June and July. When added to an already busy time with many stray animals requiring our care, the OHS can see as many as 40 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens admitted to the shelter every single day! You can help make sure that animals are safe, fewer need OHS care, and those that do, find their way home or into a new loving home by taking the following steps and trying to ensure that your friends and neighbours do the same: 1. Keep pets indoors Canada Day. 2. Make sure pets have a visible collar and tag and a permanent microchip implant. 3. Plan for holidays for your pets. Help others care for their pets when away. 4. Ensure all pets are sterilized. 5. Adopt a homeless animal at the OHS. From everyone at the Ottawa Humane Society, have a safe and happy Canada Day!

said. Then there are patients visiting from out of town who have forgotten their medications and experience complications from that. “We see a lot of alcohol-related injuries, be that from the alcohol itself from people drinking excessively and getting into a toxic state, and also the things that people do when they are drinking heavily,” Willmore said. Released on June 22, a new report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows that alcohol leads to more hospitalizations than heart attacks in Canada. That includes patients who are hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, alcohol withdrawal or liver disease caused by alcohol. According to the report, an average of 212 Canadians were hospitalized each day last year for conditions entirely caused by alcohol; however, that doesn’t include the number of people treated in emergency departments who were not ultimately admitted.

ERs prepare for sexual assaults, alcohol-related cases, heat exhaustion Continued from page 15
Hospitals are also preparing for what could be an increased number of trauma patients and are working closely with Canadian Blood Services to make sure enough blood is available, if needed. Currently, the organization is asking for donors to step up before Canada Day because there is a “critical need.” The response by each Ottawa area hospital to major events in the capital is centrally co-ordinated through a hospital emergency pre-
paredness working group, including one struck especially for Canada Day. CO-ORDINATION
The group works closely with the city to make sure everyone is working together. “It’s a strange job, emergency management. We are constantly working in hypotheticals,” Willmore said, adding the work continues year-round, not just around big events. “With mass events there are contingency plans for pretty much anything that might come through the
door.” At CHEO, there will be an increase in patients on July 1, but Dr. Mélissa Langevin, an emergency physician and a representative of the hospital’s emergency preparedness committee, said it’s usually proportionate to any time there’s a population swell, such as on Boxing Day, or any other holiday weekend. “We’ll see in the evenings the effects of the evening parties, definitely. I would say we’ll see a handful more than you would on a normal night,” she said of patients suffering from the effects of drugs and alcohol.

Field hospitals will reduce pressure on hospital emergency rooms Continued from page 16
The Emergency Medical Assistance Team of Ontario will operate fully-functioning field hospitals near Parliament Hill during the July 1 celebration in order to reduce strain on area hospitals. It includes a triage area and treatment space. Extra paramedics will also be deployed. “The City of Ottawa has done a really good job, and typically does with the Ottawa Paramedic Service, at increasing staffing so that people who have minor cuts and bruises, have heat-related injuries and so on can get treated quickly,” Langevin said. Willmore is confident the field hospitals will relieve some of the pressure. “Hopefully, it will end up being overkill and the volumes are quite low,” he said. “For a day that is of such magnitude for the country and with the crowds that we are going to see, we are erring on the side of over-preparing and if we are pleasantly surprised then fantastic.” The hospitals are also asking for revellers to consider an
ounce of prevention. “That helps everybody because if everyone helps themselves, there’s that much less that goes on to other health providers,” Langevin said.

If it’s hot and sunny, bring sunscreen, stay hydrated, and wear good shoes. “Look for services on the Hill. Those have been planned really well and there are services for the whole family,” she said. From a sexual assault per-
spective, Willmore said people should watch their drinks, be aware of their surroundings and report suspicious activity to police. West Ottawa resident KiraLynn Ferderber is an independent sexual violence prevention educator, working to inform others about bystander intervention to prevent sexual violence at festivals and parties. Ferderber said one of the problems with larger gatherings is bystander apathy. “You think someone else will step in,” she said, adding the result is that no one actually does. A large gathering could be the events on the Hill, or it could be at a house party, or cottage party, and sites where there aren’t always security guards or paramedics nearby. If someone looks vulnerable, it doesn’t hurt to ask how their night is going, if they need help, or if they are OK, she advised. It can be as simple as helping them locate friends. “Take care of each other, even if they might be fine, and regardless of race or gender. It may seem intimidating, but most people are glad they did step in,” Ferderber said.

Mayor’s Report
Fighting the opioid crisis: a community eFFort By: Mayor Jim Watson For some time now, the City of Ottawa has been facing a serious public health crisis in relation to the misuse and overdose of opioid drugs. Statistics show that each year, 30 opioid overdose related death happen in our city. The recent emergence of illicit fentanyl as a drug filler puts even more people at risk for overdose. Illicit fentanyl is much more toxic than other pharmaceutical opioids and because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible to the naked eye, there is no easy way to know if drugs have been cut with fentanyl. A very small amount can cause a fatal overdose. With tragedies already tearing our communities apart, it is clear is that we must work with community partners on a responsive multi-faceted opioid strategy. Over the last few months, there has been an important dialogue between municipalities and upper levels of government on how best to coordinate efforts that will lead to a reduction of overdose deaths across Canada, including Ottawa. The Province of Ontario recently announced new base funding of $350,000 for Ottawa Public Health (OPH) to directly support our local substance misuse strategy. The Province also announced the distribution of almost 80,000 additional naloxone kits, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, per year to front-line organizations. We know what access to naloxone can save lives. In the last year, 160 pharmacies have collectively distributed more than 4,000 naloxone kits in Ottawa alone. The city is facilitating training on how to respond to an overdose using naloxone for staff and volunteers at Ottawa’s shelters, downtown bars and festivals. Additionally, firefighters at all 45 fire stations in the City of Ottawa have recently completed training on how to administer naloxone and all City of Ottawa fire trucks now carry naloxone on board. We are also preparing for Ottawa Police Service members to administer naloxone when needed. But we must also tackle the roots of this crisis. Through public education, drug enforcement, and by providing better access to affordable housing, mental health support and clear pathways out of poverty, we can make a significant difference. Ottawa Public Health has been at the forefront of the fight on the opioid crisis. Last November, its Overdose Prevention and Response Task Force (OPRTF) launched a collaborative public education and awareness campaign called StopOverdoseOttawa. ca. Since its launch, this site has recorded over 25,000 visits. OPH is also engaging with all four Ottawa school boards, the Ottawa Police Service, Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services, and Maison Fraternité, as well as student leaders, to develop a youth-to-youth approach to better engage our youth. Through of age-appropriate presentations to Grade 4 to 12 students, we have reached close to 6,000 students and provided invaluable information on the risks of opioid use and misuse. I am confident that our shared goals and collaborative efforts will translate into a decrease in drug misuse and overdose in time. More information about counterfeit pills, overdose prevention, naloxone and local treatment resources can be found at www.StopOverdoseOttawa.ca.
Ottawa Fire Services Chief Gerry Pingitore demonstrates a nasal naloxone kit with Mayor Jim Watson at the final naloxone training for firefighters. All City fire trucks now carry it onboard.

Downtown Canada Day fireworks to showcase longer light display By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
For 20 minutes and 17 seconds on Canada Day, the skies over Ottawa and Gatineau will be alight with a musical fireworks display. Canadian Heritage is spending almost $245,000 on this year’s display, which will be orchestrated by Quebec company Royal Pyrotechnie Inc. Most of the show will be launched from Nepean Point, starting at 11 p.m., but other launch sites are located along Confederation Boulevard, including two sites in Ottawa and two in Gatineau. The later start time, according to Canadian Heritage, is to accommodate more programming on Parliament Hill. A bigger turnout is expected for the sesquicentennial celebration and Canadian Heritage estimates about 400,000 people will take in the three-day celebration. The evening show begins at 8:30 p.m. with performances by Alessia Cara,

A musical fireworks display will light up the sky over Ottawa and Gatineau, starting at 11 p.m. on Canada Day. The entire show will last 20 minutes and 17 seconds in honour of Canada’s sesquicentennial. Walk Off The Earth, Cirque du Soleil, Louis-Jean Cormier, Marie-Mai, Dean Brody, Serena Ryder, Kelly Bado, Kinnie Starr, Lisa LeBlanc, Gordon Lightfoot, and more. The federal department
in charge of the celebrations said the best viewing locations for the fireworks are behind the Canadian Museum of History and in Major’s Hill Park, where the soundtrack accompanying the show can also be heard.

The government’s bid documents asked that companies plan for pyrotechnical effects to be fired from the front as well as both sides of the Peace Tower and the roof of Centre Block during the show. According to those documents, Royal Pyrotechnie Inc. must “have an impressive beginning” of at least a minute, a false finale with four minutes to spare, and a grand finale of at least a minute. “The pyromusical fireworks display must be spectacular, colourful, and appealing to the spectators.” The display will use 150 of the largest shells authorized in Canada, as well as a variety of other sizes and products. The show will be jampacked, with no more than three seconds between explosions. Royal Pyrotechnie has been creating fireworks shows for the last half-century, according to its website. The team produces more than 300 shows a year and has won international awards for its work. Companies recognized worldwide, including some in Spain, Italy, the United States, and China, manufacture all of their fireworks.

Canada Day at Petrie Island is back after it was moved away to the Navan fairgrounds and then cancelled in early 2016. “It’s been very impressive to see so many different corners of the community come together,” said Adam Polka, the director of communications for Orléans Canada Day. “It’s pretty clear that Orléans was ready to get Canada Day back.” The barbecue festival and craft beer tent will open at Petrie Island on Friday and run through Sunday. The barbecue festival, organized by the team who put together Orléans Ribfest, will run alongside the beer tent June 30 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., all day Canada Day, and July 2 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. While the food and beer will be served for a whole weekend, the entertainment and fireworks will be on July 1 as residents celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Polka said they are “sparing no expense”
when it comes to putting on the fireworks show which will start at 10 p.m. Entertainment will start at 11 a.m. that day, with a Carivibe DJ party kicking things off. The KidZone will be open until 5 p.m., with the official opening ceremony at 1 p.m. Concerts from Ottawa artists including Wise Young and King, Capital Beetles, and headliner Tribe Royal will carry the party through to the fireworks when the Carivibe DJ party will return to the stage.
“We’ve got a really nice family-friendly schedule, combined with a great foodie and beer schedule,” Polka said. OC Transpo is free on Canada Day and a shuttle service will be offered until 8 p.m. from the Trim Road park-and-ride and the Orléans La Cité Collegiale campus.

tivity area with games for children of all ages. The Kidz Zone stage will host child friendly acts and a four-day midway held from June 29 to July 2 has
games, food and all kinds of amusement. A new addition to the celebration is the Kids Zone Gym Area. Kidz Zone activities include bubble soccer, human foosball, a hockey radar challenge, Maple the Cow, Home Depot crafts, circus workshop and many more. The gym area will run between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will consist of interactive events hosted by groups, businesses and athletes from the area. Olympic hurdler Sekou Kaba and Olympian Kashani Thomas will host seminars on their respective sports. Taekwondo world champion Kayla Maduk will be there to speak about her Believe project and the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts will be holding demonstrations as well. Activities will also include multicultural expression in the form of song, dance, language and dress. All of this will be
found on the Multi-Cultural Stage. Food from many different cultures will also be present. All of this, according to Canada Day Barrhaven Inc., is to illustrate the growing diversity in Barrhaven. According to president Darrell Bartraw, the gym area idea was born from the athletic groups who were interested in being a part of the multicultural celebrations. Instead the idea for an interactive, fitness-based section was conceived and added to the Kidz Zone. Other new additions to the celebration include a classic car show and also performances by live, local bands on stage on June 30 for a pre-Canada Day celebration. On the morning of July 1 at 8 a.m. V!VA Retirement Community will be hosting a seniors breakfast hosted by city Coun. Jan Harder. The day will end will a fireworks display.

Cash deposits short By Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Investigators can’t rule out employee theft following the loss of $3,400 from two city client service centres last year. Poor video surveillance quality and not following city cash-handling protocols hindered the investigation, Auditor General Ken Hughes said June 22. Three cases of shortages in cash deposits took place at Ben Franklin Place and the Orléans client service centre. The two combined shortages at Ben Franklin Place totalled $3,300 from March 9 and 17. One hundred dollars was missing from the May 27 deposit at the Orléans site. Due to cash shortfalls in 2015, changes had already been made to the city’s cashhandling procedures. The auditor general also
looked at the Parkdale and ByWard markets last year — ultimately discovering that management hadn’t been tracking cash properly. Hughes added there have so far been two cases of shortfalls reported in 2017. When the shortages were discovered, they were reported to police — which isn’t the protocol in place. Employees are supposed to notify the fraud and waste hotline. The report concluded that staff didn’t follow proper cash-handling protocol, but no one employee was deemed to be the cause of the shortages, so there were no charges. The report makes a series of recommendations that include not using deposit funds to make change, as well as not altering cheques, and verifying the math on the deposit slips. Management agreed with the recommendations.
Letter to the Editor Re: Brynna Leslie’s June 22 column titled, “Carrying the mental load often falls to women” While the concept of women carrying the mental load in households is important, the article makes men sound like a bunch of mentally absent and disengaged misfits. I’ll have you know that I handle the bulk of mental load in our household because I can do it and am capable of it. The fact that this article came out on the heels of Father’s Day is shameful.

Ice Dragon Boat Festival to return in 2018 By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Ice dragon boat races are coming back to Ottawa this winter. John Brooman, president and CEO of the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, confirmed he’s going to give the winter version another go. “We learned a lot in the first year. We think it’s something that will be a good long-term bit of fun for the city of Ottawa.” About two weeks ago, Brooman declined to say whether the Ice Dragon Boat Festival, which was a North American first, would see a second year. He said it “went very, very well” despite some melting on the Saturday. “Overall, it was a huge, huge success. It garnered an incredible amount of international media exposure, so from a tourism perspective it was off the charts,” he said. Brooman said the ice is a big mystery and so is the weather, and that it can’t be too cold for the competitors and spectators, or too warm because the ice melts. “Like any new event, there were so many unknowns. We didn’t even know if we’d get the boats in time,” he said. “Personally, I found it exhilarating. It’s where we shine, taking something that’s really never been done before, trying to figure it out and make it happen,” he said. As of June 15, Brooman didn’t have a date for the coming winter, but the goal is for it to be part of Winterlude celebrations in 2018. He’s also working to find a title sponsor for what he hopes will become an annual event. As soon as the date is firm, registration will open. Earlier this year, 60 teams from around the world participated in the inaugural event. Teams came from China, Europe, Texas and California. Competitors also included some who annually participate in the summer dragon boat festival. The event sold out in eight minutes. Not knowing how many teams the ice could accommodate, how long it would take teams to get to the finish line, meant 60 teams was a safe number. Next year will include more teams. “It was sort of funny, we really didn’t know,” Brooman said. The boats are equipped with a sled with two sets of skate blades, as well as braking and steering devices. Paddlers use ice sticks
Grand opening of Riverside South Farmers’ Market Thank you to everyone who came out for the Grand Opening of the Riverside South Farmers’ Market. For the past year I have been working with the Ottawa Farmers’ Market Association and OC Transpo to open a Farmers’ Market at the Riverview Park and Ride on Earl Armstrong Road in Riverside South. I was happy to be able to cut the burlap on its opening day. There was a great turn out, making some vendors take trips back to the farm to stock up! A variety of vendors, horse-drawn wagon rides, and a performance by the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, which was sponsored by the RideauStone Arts Centre, made the day a huge success. I encourage all residents to visit the market this summer. It will be open every Sunday from 10am-2pm until mid October. The Urban Forest Management Plan
Metroland file photo
Ice dragon boats will be back in 2018, according to John Brooman, CEO and president of the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon boat teams from across the city braved the slush on the Rideau Canal in February for the inaugural event. $50,000. After, he said the return on investment was worth it, with news of the event even reaching 500 million viewers in China alone. “Our exposure covered Aus-
with seven picks to propel the boats forward. Prior to this year’s event, Brooman described it as a “risky venture” being put on with a shoestring budget of less than
tralia, New Zealand, Africa, Europe, Asia, Canada and the United States. Nothing in 2017 will touch it,” Brooman said. - With files from Erin McCracken
After broad consultation with the public and city staff, the Environment and Climate Change Committee recently approved a 20 year Urban Forest Management Plan in an effort to manage Ottawa’s trees in a more strategic way. The plan focuses on sustainability of urban forests, increasing public knowledge of the urban forest, expanding community engagement, proactive management and providing extended resources to the urban forest management team. As an example of its recommendations, the plan calls for a review of all tree-related By-laws. Residents can find more information at ottawa.ca. Transecure Awards On June 20th, OC Transpo operators were honoured at the Annual Transecure Awards for going above and beyond their regular duties to keep residents safe. These individuals demonstrate that Transecure really is a community watch program on wheels. As Vice Chair, it was an honour to represent the Transit Commission at this ceremony. Canada Day Celebrations In celebration of our countries 150th anniversary, the Riverside South Community Association and the Findlay Creek Community Association will be hosting their biggest and best Canada Day celebration yet! From 11am-2pm, Claudette Cain Park will be filled with fun activities such as inflatable rides, a miniature train, a petting zoo, archery, mini golf, laser tag and much more. Along with these activities during the day, there will be performances such as battle of the bands and a fire dancer leading up to the fireworks at 10pm. Residents are encouraged to purchase kid’s fun passes and food tickets prior to the event at riversidesouth.org. I hope to see you there! St. Jerome Donation to Riverside South for Refugees

Students from St. Jerome Catholic School recently raised $1,700 in support of Riverside South for Refugees in order to bring a Syrian refugee family to Ottawa. The cheque was presented to the organization on June 22nd at a school assembly. In attendance were Bassam Daya, his wife Rama Kasrin and their daughter Irenie, who are Ottawa residents and relatives of the refugee family. As the City’s special liaison for refugee resettlement, I have seen first hand that these kinds of grassroots initiatives are what help make Ottawa one of the most welcoming cities in the world for refugees.

The beach at Mooney’s Bay is open for the summer. Lifeguards will remain on duty until Aug. 27.
Happy Canada Day – 150th May I take this opportunity to wish you, your family, friends and neighbours, a Happy Canada Day. Whether you celebrate downtown, in your backyard or any point in between, be safe and enjoy the weekend of festivities. Let us also reflect on the sacrifices made by generations before us who have helped shape and define our country, as well as members of the First Nations who have lived on Canadian soil for millennia. Youth Services Bureau Development The City’s Planning Department has received Zoning By-Law Amendment and Site Plan Control Applications for 2887-2895 Riverside Drive the site currently occupied by the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. The site is a 0.18 hectare property located on the east side of Riverside Drive. Currently, the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa (YSB) operates programming and administrative operations in two buildings on the site, and plans to demolish the building at 2887 Riverside Drive. The purpose of the Zoning By-Law Amendment and Site Plan Control Applications is to accommodate the development on this site of a 4-storey building. This building will contain office space and programming uses at ground level with three levels of residential units above. The 39 proposed studio and two-bedroom self-contained units will be supportive housing for youth aged 16-24, and the ground floor uses will provide support services and amenity space for these residents. The site is currently zoned as Residential Fourth Density Subzone N (R4N), and the applicant seeks to add an exception in order to permit an office use on site, permit an increase in height allowance, reduce rear and interior yard setbacks, and permit relief from parking requirements. Detailed plans, studies, and documentation associated with this planning application can be accessed at www.Ottawa.ca/DevApps and inserting the address ‘2887 Riverside’ into the file search tool. I hosted a pre-application public meeting on this file on June 1, 2017. Please provide me with your comments so I may direct them to the planner on the file for review and consideration by Friday, July 21, 2017 at Riley.Brockington@Ottawa.ca.

Chokecherries and milk a dangerous combination
I
t wasn’t a wise decision on Mother’s part. Sending me and Emerson to pick chokecherries together was not a good idea. Emerson, older than I am by six years, spent most of his spare time trying to make my life miserable. Behind Mother’s back, of course. “You know, don’t you, you can choke to death if you eat a chokecherry and drink milk at the same time,” Emerson said, as we headed out with our little honey pails for the cluster of trees strewn along the fence of one of our back fields. Well, I didn’t like milk, so my chance of coming to an untimely death in such a fashion was pretty remote. But Emerson kept up a steady chatter about how dangerous it was, and he knew for a fact that one young fellow from the Barr Line dropped in his tracks and all it took was a couple of chokecherries and a sip of milk. Of course, he couldn’t come up with a name. We reached the bushes flushed from the heat of the day, and started picking the fruit. It was easy to just grasp a loaded sprig between your thumb and finger, pull gently, and the whole cluster would fall into the pail. So, it didn’t take long to fill the three honey pails ... mine, Emerson’s, and the one tied to his braces. All the way back to the house, Emerson kept talking about the fatal effect of eating a berry and drinking even a sip of milk. Well, I didn’t believe him for one minute! My brother had a special talent for dreaming up schemes, many of which were planned to scare the living daylights out of me, but I was pretty sure Mother would never expose us to such a danger in the first place, and I told him so. “I don’t believe you for one minute, Emerson Haneman,” I said as we neared the backyard. Emerson put his pails down on the ground and hurried into the house and soon came out with a tin cup, which I was pretty sure was cold water from the ice box. “You don’t believe me? Well, you just watch this, and you better be ready to call Mother so she can get a call into Dr. Murphy, because you’ve seen the last of me.” He took out a handful of chokecherries from one of the pails, tossed them into his mouth, and said, “This is milk ... now you just watch.” I screamed for him to stop just in case what he had been saying all along had a grain of truth in it. But it was too late. Down the hatch went the chokecherries, and then he took
MARY COOK Memories a big gulp of the milk. He rolled his eyes into the back of his head, made the sign of the cross (he wasn’t even a Catholic), and fell on his back to the ground. I prodded him with the toe of my running shoe, and he never moved. I started to say the Lord’s Prayer, and stopped short of making the sign of the cross just in case it would have an adverse affect since I was a Lutheran. Nothing! Emerson never moved a muscle. He was dead all right. There was no doubt about it. And I was completely responsible, for not believing him! I ran to the kitchen door and screamed for Mother, but my sister Audrey said she had gone to Briscoe’s General Store. Through my sobs, I told Audrey what had happened, and she came out to see our brother who had just taken his last breath, sprawled on the grass by the pump stand. She didn’t even wait to pump up well-water, but took the tin cup off the nail-hook, dipped it into the watering trough, and dumped the whole lot right onto Emerson’s face, who had yet to stir a muscle. Well, that brought him to life in a hurry! He was as mad as a hatter, and, as was his habit, he would kick anything within distance when he got riled up, he was looking for something to put his boot to. Audrey had the common sense to grab the two pails of chokecherries, I grabbed mine, and we headed into the house. Emerson soaking wet, with water dripping down his face, still insisted eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time could kill you, vowed he was near death, and the only thing that saved him was worrying about what Mother would do to me when she found out I was responsible for the demise of her favourite son. That was the last I ever heard of the danger of eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Residents get answers about Civic campus By Melissa Murray
mmurray@metroland.com
The new Civic campus will include towers. At a community consultation on June 20, Ottawa Hospital executive vice-president and chief operating officer Cameron Love told a crowd of about 30 what it might look like at the Sir John Carling site that’s part of the Experimental Farm. David Darwin, who lives in Carlington, where the meeting was held, questioned why the hospital would consider building out instead of up. With new developments with towers planned close to the site, Darwin said it would “complement the area” while also preserving some of the green space on the site. FOR SALE
When Phil Bartlett took a look at the site breakdown for the health-care centre, he noticed there was about as much land dedicated to parking — 15 to 20 acres (six to eight hectares) for an estimated 3,400 spaces — as for the buildings, of about 25 acres (10 hectares). “For me, this would be more well received if parking plans were condensed,” he said. Parking will be a big issue for the community as the project moves forward, River Coun. Riley Brockington said after the meeting. “I think that will be a major issue — how will the Civic accommodate their parking needs and the needs of the whole community,” he said. With the hospital taking
“There’s no question,” Love said in response. “There will be towers.” How high they go, he said, mentioning a hypothetical 10 to 14 storeys, will depend on how many beds the new campus needs and the services chosen for the new campus. Right now, as part of Phase 1 of the planning for the new facility, what needs to be decided is which programs and services will be offered in the building. In order to do that, the hospital is looking at each of its campuses — Civic, Riverside and General — to see what makes the most sense and putting it there. For example, Love said, it makes sense for the General to take more of the cancer services and care.

tute must be integrated into the new hospital in the future and a transition plan needs to be sorted out, but in terms of what’s next for the current hospital, it’s not top of mind. “I’ve not thought anything about it,” Love said, adding there have been a lot of suggestions pointing to the need for more long-term care or acute care for the elderly. In the fall, the hospital will receive a report from an external group detailing an engagement framework. It will advise the hospital on the best way to engage the public, and the hospital plans to use it to plan its engagement strategy. The province requires a certain minimum level of consultation. The hospital is a large urban community development project, Love said. As a result,
over land that is now a parking lot that’s used when there are events at Dow’s Lake, the parking strategy will have to look at how to accommodate visitors to the nearby area as well. The hospital is still working with Public Services and Procurement Canada on the details of the 99-year lease. Love said he hopes to have the lease signed by Christmas of this year. “If the whole process is 1,000 steps, we are in the first five to 10,” Love said during a brief presentation. Love addressed questions about integration with the community, the plans for the Heart Institute, consultations and what happens to the current building. Love said the Heart Insti-

neighbourhood associations, hospital staff, health-care providers, patients and families will need to be part of the development of the new facility. Patients and families will help shape what Love described as a significant part of the new hospital. The plan includes about seven acres (about three hectares) of wellness space. While no concrete plans have been made, as the design of the hospital won’t be unveiled until Stage 3 of planning, Love described one possible option of an outdoor amphitheatre. Getting answers to some of the big questions around the hospital’s relocation was helpful for residents, Brockington said, adding he plans to host this kind of meeting annually. “We’ll be back a lot,” Love said. “The community has great questions and great ideas.”

Watching out for the vulnerable: OC Transpo drivers honoured memory disorders back to their homes.
By Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
If it wasn’t for a Para Transpo driver who performed CPR, a woman probably would have died. Orléans’ Jean-Marc Pilon was one of 16 OC Transpo drivers honoured at the Shenkman Arts Centre on June 20 for their actions in 2016. On Dec. 12, 2016, Pilon was dealing with one of his OC Transpo clients when the escort of a different woman on board the Para Transpo bus came to tell him the woman couldn’t breathe. “I rushed back in, I looked at my passenger, and I noticed she was not breathing any more, so I went to the radio, told them to send (paramedics) and started CPR,” Pilon said. Pilon had gone through the mandatory first aid and CPR training, but he’d never performed CPR before. “You don’t think of what you need to do next, you just go and do it,” he said. “I went along, and did what I had to do, and it worked out for the best.” Medical staff said if he hadn’t done anything in the seven to eight minutes it took them to respond, the woman

Gloucester-Southgate resident Mozafar Mostafavi (centre) accepts his certificate from Mayor Jim Watson and Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans on June 20 at the Shenkman Arts Centre. Mostafavi was recognized for helping a woman who attemped to die by suicide and was unresponsive on the bus he was driving. She was rushed to the hospital where she regained consciousness. would have died. Pilon was joined by 15 other recipients who went above
and beyond to keep people and transit users safe. The men honoured took
action in a variety of situations, including returning lost children or seniors with
Stephen Malcolm, a bus driver from Bay Ward, put in a different type of call – he found a purse on board that had $10,000 in it. He returned the purse, and all the cash. Another group of drivers performed CPR on an operator in distress at the OC Transpo building on St. Laurent Boulevard, performing chest compressions until a defibrillator could be used – actions a doctor at the hospital said saved their coworker’s life. Cumberland Ward driver Kert Berneche stopped robbery suspects by recognizing they were aboard his bus when he heard descriptions broadcast. He pulled the bus over, telling passengers he was ahead of schedule, until officers arrived. Another driver, south Ottawa resident Mozafar Mostafavi, rescued a woman on his bus who had attempted to die by suicide. Another stopped to get an autistic boy, who was running in busy traffic on Scott
Street, to safety. Barrhaven’s Frank Boushey took home top honours for being the stand-out in 2016. “I didn’t expect this,” he said. “It was quite the shocker getting this. I’m proud.” Boushey was driving his regular 97 route early in the morning on Nov. 20 when he stopped at South Keys and saw a young girl wearing just shorts and a tank top, carrying bags. He said she approached the bus, but then turned around, so he and went to see if she was OK. She told him she was pregnant, and had just been thrown out of the house by her boyfriend. “She was carrying, four, five bags with her. She was a young girl in shorts and a tank top in the winter, it was cold out,” he said. He was able to get transit operators to meet him along the route and pick up the young woman, who was escorted to a safe place. “It was like -15. She said, ‘I was afraid to approach your bus, I had no money, I didn’t want you to say no to me.’ “I said, ‘Sometimes you just need to ask.’”

‘It’s home’: Brookfest to mark 50th year of Brookfield Restaurant By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Joyce Aboud can’t sit outside the Brookfield Restaurant & Confectionary for long before she is greeted one after the other by customers entering and exiting what has become her second home over the past 50 years. She waves and greets everyone, often by name. That’s just part of the magic of her business, nestled in the heart of the Riverside Park community. “Joyce knows everybody,” her husband Anatoly Sztepa says. “I can probably just sit here and wave to everybody,” Aboud agrees. “People will honk their horns. It’s been generations that have come through here. I’ve watched their kids’ kids come through this place.” She and her staff – some of whom have worked at the popular eatery off and on for more than two decades – have served countless federal employees from the nearby Confederation Heights complex of buildings as well as students from nearby Brookfield High School, among others who live in the neighbourhood. River Coun. Riley Brockington was one of those kids who headed over to the neighbourhood eatery. He still does, and has brought Mayor Jim Watson and community leaders there, often for breakfast meetings. “It really is an institution in River Ward. It’s a typical mom-and-pop style of establishment,” the Riverside Park resident added, noting the Brookfield is also known for great food and service. “So I’m very proud of them for achieving 50 years.” Firefighters from Station 34 next door regularly bring over their own plates for a home-cooked lunch. “I give them a flat rate lunch,” Aboud says with a smile “Their plates are twice the size of mine.” It was in 1967 that her mother and father, Yvonne and Naja, decided to relocate to Ottawa from Sarnia so Aboud’s two older sisters could attend university here. See IT’S LIKE, page 40 Ottawa South News - Thursday, June 29, 2017 39
‘It’s like the place is magic. It was meant to be’: Aboud around,” says Aboud, a Hintonburg resident. Matt Holgate and Wendy Campeau have headed over to the Brookfield
Continued from page 39
Her father secured a 15-year lease for the property and together the family opened the confectionary store and small lunch counter at 704 Brookfield Rd. on July 1 of that year – Canada’s 100th birthday. Aboud, the third youngest of four sisters, was just 12 years old. “I remember working that day, taking the cash, running around, cleaning up bottles,” she recalls. “I remember that was a very busy day.” Times were different then. They sold soft-serve ice cream at the shop, and bread cost just 20 cents a loaf while a pack of cigarettes was 40 cents. Aboud spent her teen years in Riverside Park, living with her family of six over the restaurant. She attended Grade 7 at Carleton Heights that first year, before she switched to Fielding Drive Public School the first year it opened. Then it was off to Brookfield High, a short walk from her afterschool job at the restaurant. But as the years went by, Aboud delved deeper into the business, from as young as 18. She became her mother’s right-hand man after her father passed away in 1970. “She would work hard,” Aboud said of her mom. “It was hard for her. No vacation. Ever.” The year Aboud took over the business on July 1, 1987, she made several changes, such as expanding the storefront and separating it from the restaurant so that she could apply for a liquor licence and serve beer and wine. The significance of the milestone July 1 date is not lost on Aboud. “Can you believe it? It’s like the place is magic. It was meant to be.” Over the years, her trusted staff and many of her longtime customers have become like extended family. “It feels like you’re part of something big,” Aboud says. “There’s not anywhere I can go in this city probably without running into somebody from the store.” Now her community is rallying be-

You look back and you think, where did it go?” Aboud says of the decades she put into the family business, one that her own daughters, Alexandra and Zoë, also grew up in. Her husband couldn’t agree more. The couple met when Sztepa was working on contract in computer science. But he too couldn’t resist the pull of the Brookfield. “High tech goes in downturns and Joyce asked me to help out, and 30
years later I’m still helping out,” he says. The years have involved a lot of hard work, countless late nights, middle-of-the-night phone calls, and many early mornings. “It definitely is like a child,” Ayoub says. The Brookfield has evolved over the years. Its hours of operation have been scaled back from seven days to five, Monday to Friday. And though it was open at one time until 11 p.m., its confectionary doors now remain open until 6 p.m., though the restaurant stops serving at 3 p.m. “At one point we were the only store

“We come here instead of the (cafeteria) because here they make their stuff fresh versus the caf, which is not,” Holgate says. “We can see them making their stuff a lot of the time so you know it’s freshly made.” Campeau remembers the confectionary side of the business very well, since she attended Brookfield High in the early 1980s. “I knew Joyce when I was a teenager. Lovely family. We watched their daughters grow up,” she says. “We come in, we talk with the people. We know them. “You forget your wallet at home and it’s ‘Oh, we’ll get you tomorrow,’” says Campeau, who is fussy about who she brings to the Brookfield because it’s such a special place. “They’ve lent us an umbrella to walk back to work,” Holgate says. Despite the hard work the Brookfield has required, it has been more like a labour of love. Aboud remains committed to serving home-cooked meals –
whether it be her deli items, including her black bean avocado recipe, bacon-and-egg breakfasts, Lebanese dishes, such as her tabbouleh or humous, or generous helpings of apple crisp – one of the many desserts on the menu. But there is one recipe she is most known for. “I’m famous for my turkey, tomato, havarti sandwich. It’s on egg bread,” she says, before bustling off to the kitchen. Still, her passion remains the people she meets. She often knows who’s graduating from Brookfield each year, and who among her regulars is getting married. “You get to know everything about people. People tell you things you’d never expect them to tell you,” the grandmother of two says with a laugh. There are many memories she will always cherish. There was that time she knew then prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau was passing by along Riverside Drive in 1967. “I ran up to his limo and gave him a kiss,” Aboud recalls. “There’s been a lot that’s
gone on. I call it a saga. It’s a saga,” she says before returning to her post behind the counter of the confectionary, her husband and staff by her side. “Definitely, it’s home.” PARTY DETAILS
Brookfest takes place July 8, from noon to 10 p.m., at Brookfield Restaurant & Confectionary, located at 704 Brookfield Rd. Admission is free and everyone is invited to enjoy a children’s fun zone with a bouncy castle, and a balloon artist, courtesy of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association. There will also be dancing, live music featuring Johnny Vegas, as well as a beer tent and barbecue. As well, memorabilia will be on display in the restaurant for a walk down memory lane, and a mural on the exterior wall of the building will be repainted that day. Parking will be available across the street from the restaurant and in the lot to the east.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Bearsaeinrs
horoscopes
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 You may need to dim your lights so you do not outshine others, Aries. You can be a force and it pays to let others share a bit of the spotlight. This will garner some goodwill.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if personal growth or a change has been on your mind, why not get started this week? You may benefit from a minor makeover or a change of scenery.
