Parents face off over school wish list

The city has hired an independent, bridge engineering firm, Buckland and Taylor, to perform a third-party review of the project.

River ward Coun. Maria McRae said she felt the same frustration as her constituents over the two-year construction delay on the bridge, which was originally supposed to be built in 2011.

News - A vote on the Ottawa public school board’s annual wish list pits communities against one another, said Orléans parent Oswold Peters.

Peters, along with Lorna Bonvie, a Cumberland resident since 1985, made their case before the board of trustees committee of the whole meeting on Oct. 1.

The meeting was to vote for a list of capital priorities. The list is comprised of projects selected by staff in May 2012 that had yet to receive funding.

Barrhaven trustee Donna Blackburn proposed an amendment that would see a new Half Moon Bay elementary school nab the top spot over a new school in the Avalon subdivision of Orléans. The change was voted down by the majority of the board.

“I realize there wasn’t much appetite to change the list,” Blackburn said.

Blackburn said she didn’t think enough work had been done to try and accommodate the extra Orléans students in other schools.

“I think we should treat every community fairly,” said Blackburn.

Blackburn’s amended list would have pushed an Avalon II school down to the fifth spot on the eightitem list, behind a new Half Moon Bay School, a rebuild for Broadview Public School, an addition to West Carleton Secondary School and an addition to A.Y. Jackson Secondary School.

Mark Fisher, a trustee whose area includes south Ottawa, said there’s little appetite for another look at the list.

News - The city has ordered a halt to construction on the Airport Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge after engineers raised concern over design features.

The municipality fired Genivar, the bridge’s original contractor on Sept. 5, and subsequently hired Delcan to review the existing work and plan design modifications.

The $6.9-million project includes the bridge, construction of an east-west

pathway between the Hunt Club community and the south east transitway, as well as the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetland Pathway System.

City staff said they are concerned specifically about two parts of the bridge which could hinder its lifespan and maintenance.

Nancy Schepers, deputy city manager of planning and infrastructure, said it was her duty to put a stop to the work.

“I want to point out how important it is to finish this project, but it has to get to the highest quality standard and the

highest safety standard,” said Schepers, who is also a professional engineer, during a press conference held on Oct. 4.

Chapman Mills Public School was opened in September to handle students from Farley Mowat and Barrhaven public schools. The board did an accommodation review in 2011 and redistributed students to ease crowding. At the time Farley Mowat and Barrhaven public had 17 and 19 portables respectively. At a public meeting to explain the boundary changes to ďŹ ve local schools, Blackburn said new schools were essential. “We need the school in Chapman Mills, we need one in Half Moon Bay,â€? she said.

The changes in boundaries saw boundaries would see 340 students redirected from Farley Mowat and 150 students from Barrhaven Public. “Every last option was looked at in Barrhaven, I just want to do the same for OrlĂŠans,â€? Blackburn said.

Jennifer McKenzie, an Ottawa west trustee and board chair, said although there are growth pressures in the Avalon area, the overall enrollment in the OrlĂŠans area has declined by 300 students since 2009.

Barrhaven’s student count has gone up by 772 during the same time period. “We could build a school every other year in Barrhaven and not keep up with demand,� she said.

OrlĂŠans trustee John Shea said that Orleans boasts a population of more than 100,000 people and while there’s declining population on the north side of highway 174, there is a lot of growth to the south. “It’s quicker to drive to the city limits of Ottawa than to drive to the next closest school that has space,â€? he said.

Peters agreed and said the widening of Trim Road to four lanes will only foster more development.

Bridge delayed for second time “The expectation was that this project would be completed, and to that end I have done everything I could do to keep updated about this project, and feel very supportive of our city staff in that regard,� said McRae, before stating she asked for Schepers’ feedback about completing a third-party review. “This is a really important project to our city,� said McRae. “Not only is it important for pedestrian connection and a cycling connection between thousands of residents who live in Hunt Club to access the southeast transitway, to access the wetland pathways, but there’s also access to a very large shopping plaza where people work.�

The city will seek to recover costs, including but not limited to those related to any delays, claims, design review changes, and construction qualiďŹ cations.

CONSTRUCTION DELAYS

Genivar was awarded a contract to design the Airport Parkway bridge in 2010.

Construction started on July 6, 2011, and was supposed to ďŹ nish on Oct. 31, 2011, but was extended to Nov. 28, due to concerns about the concrete. “Nearly two years have passed since that time, and during which the concrete of the lower portion of the main tower was poured, subsequently demolished, and re-poured in October 2012,â€? said Schepers.

Other work for the project has been completed, including construction of the pathway

and lighting, and general landscaping, as well as offsite work such as the bridge railings.

As construction progressed this summer, concerns were raised regarding the stay supporting system of the bridge and the constructability of the steel anchorage piece at the top of the tower. “At that point, given the nature of the concerns that were raised, I was not prepared to move forward with these particular elements until I was satisďŹ ed that the concerns raised were either dismissed or, if validated, that they were corrected,â€? Schepers said.

Based on the concerns, Buckland and Taylor were called in to do a peer review at the end of August after Genivar refused to make any modiďŹ cations.

McRae warned that as ward councillor, if she was not satisďŹ ed with the review, and if there was any information lacking in the document, she would pursue a review by the auditor general.

In the meantime, Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd. has temporarily suspended any work on site.

It is possible Bray will continue with the construction after the peer review is complete.

McRae said the third-party review will also shed light on how the city got to this point. “Thank goodness for our city engineer that we are looking at this today instead of hearing about problems down the road.

I would much rather that there would be another delay today to ensure we are not dealing with signiďŹ cant costs and delays in the future.â€?

Based on Buckland and Taylor’s recommendation, the city directed Genivar to initiate design modiďŹ cations for the bridge.

The city reached an impasse with Genivar, and their services were terminated.

The city awarded a contract to Delcan to modify and assume full responsibility for the bridge design. “Delcan is undertaking a thorough review of the design

It is my expectation that by the middle of November, we will be in a position to report on the recommended path forward NANCY SCHEPERS DEPUTY CITY MANAGER OF PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE

and construction that has been done to date, and will identify the necessary design modiďŹ cations to address the two speciďŹ c issues that were raised,â€? said Schepers. “In this process, they will also be validating the overall design to ensure functionality and maintenance with regards to the conditions under which the structure will be operating,â€? said Schepers. “It is my expectation that by the middle of November, we will be in a position

to report on the recommended path forward.�

At the request of the councillor, the city will be initiating an independent, comprehensive third-party review of the entire bridge project and its ďŹ ndings will be reported back to the mayor and council, as well as the ďŹ nance and economic development committee. “The scope of this review is currently being ďŹ nalized and will focus on identifying areas for improvement to prevent similar problems from reoccurring,â€? said Schepers. “In the meantime, I continue to be concerned with the quality and timeliness of work related to this important project to date, and I have been working with the general manager of infrastructure services to identify immediate actions to ensure that this does not happen again.â€?

Hydro Ottawa and Christie Lake Kids celebrate success of youth leadership centre

SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND

Mayor Jim Watson is flanked by members of the delegation who will be joining him on a trip to China on Saturday, Oct 12. This trip will feature representatives from Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, technology, tourism, and education sectors.

Delegation ready to embark on China mission Sabine Gibbins Sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largestever mission to China is set to take ďŹ&#x201A;ight on Oct. 12.

Mayor Jim Watson will lead a delegation of representatives from Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, technology, tourism and education sectors on the trip.

The mayor introduced members of the delegation at C-

COM Satellite Systems. Inc., a south Ottawa based company and one of the partners on the mission on Oct. 7.

The company hopes the trip will help it to develop business relations for the export of their mobile antenna systems.

Ottawa signed its ďŹ rst sistercity agreement with Beijing in 1999, during Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst term as mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since that time we have

worked diligently to build upon a special relationship,â&#x20AC;? he said.

They will also be travelling to Shanghai at the invitation of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consul general.

Walt Hutchings, managing director of investment and trade at Invest Ottawa, said the trip is an important business venture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re) doing business in China, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to have deadlines,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also really important

to bring the right people to the table to get things done.â&#x20AC;?

Having the mayor at the table for business meetings is of the utmost importance, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the mayor is there, and they want things to happen, they will,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can use the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence to help move their transactions forward.â&#x20AC;?

On Oct. 1, Hydro Ottawa and Christie Lake Kids celebrated the success of the first summer camp held at the Hydro Ottawa Sustainable Youth Leadership Centre, located at Belle Island on Christie Lake.

This innovative facility is the first and only program in Canada that provides disadvantaged youth with an opportunity to experience and learn about alternative energy while developing leadership skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contributing to the well-being of our community has always been a part of Hydro Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core mandateâ&#x20AC;?, said Hydro Ottawa President and CEO Bryce Conrad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The programs that Christie Lake Kids offers build character and provide youth with practical, hands-on experience.

Through our support, we are providing valuable life skills that help at-risk youth grow into healthy successful adults.â&#x20AC;?

For seven weeks in the summer and eight weekends during the school year, youth aged 13-17 live and work together on Belle Island, building leadership and teamwork skills. The facility includes roof-mounted solar panels to power lighting, composting toilets, solar-heated showers, and a bicycle-powered water pump that works with a gravity-pressurized water system.

More than 300 children and youth from Ottawa are expected to visit the site each summer to explore alternative sources of energy and sustainable living. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that kids can come to places like this because it gets them in touch with a different side of the worldâ&#x20AC;?, said Liam, a camper at Christie Lake Kids.

China partnership flourishing with city Continued from page 5

China recognizes Ottawa as the leader in innovation in Canada, said Hutchings.

“Many of the cool new technologies that have been developed here are really needed in China,” he said.

“By working with the Chinese in these areas, we should be able to develop outcomes that are win-win for both China and Canada.”

Noel Buckley, president and CEO of Ottawa tourism, said the trip will help encourage tourism from China.

“We have had a fair amount of experience in China in the tourism sector and we’ve been quite heavily involved in China in the last six years, on the tourism side,” he said.

Canada reached an important milestone about four years ago when it received an approved destination status for China, Buckley said.

“This makes it much easier for Chinese visitors to come to Canada, and with a population of 1.4 billion, one of the largest international travel markets in the world, they automatically became a very important market for us,” he said.

By the end of this decade, China will be the world’s largest economy with over 1 billion middle class consumers said Walt Hutchings, managing director of Investment and Trade at Invest Ottawa. “It is a key component of our strategy to build a sustainable economy in Ottawa.” digit growth to Canada has come from a sourced market – China. China is growing at approximately 20 per cent in terms of visitation as a source market for not only Canada but for Ottawa as well.”

To put that in a little bit of perspective, he pointed out that four years ago, China would have been the eighth most important offshore market for Canada, but now they have escalated up to number four.

He estimated they would move past Germany on the list as early as next year.

Nearly 300,000 Chinese visit Canada every year, and 10 per cent stay in Ottawa.

Dana Borschewski, director of admissions at Elmwood School, said the private school recruits students from different countries around the world, and China is one they’ve been focusing on.

“International students really help to increase the diversity within our students’ population,” she said.

While in China, she will be meeting with parents, schools, and students, to identify more opportunities, as well as interviewing candidates who have already applied for admission.

Watson said this trip will focus on promoting several types of businesses in Ottawa.

“We are trying to broaden the base of delegates that are coming so that they can go and meet their purposes under the umbrella of the mayor,” he said.

“There’s no question, a more diverse delegation means that we have more people on the trip and it also means that we have an opportunity to help more compani

Glebe BIA works on branding Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Glebe Business Improvement Area is getting ready to unveil a new marketing strategy to help improve the profile of the neighbourhood shopping district.

The plans are still being kept under wraps, but cochairman Gilbert Russell said the goal is to draw people from the community to shop along Bank Street.

“The retail landscape in Ottawa is shifting very dramatically and every neighbourhood needs to define why people should come and

shop there, and we are doing the same thing here,” Russell said.

The branding, Russell said, will have the business association look at how the Glebe is perceived both positively and negatively.

Once the branding is revealed, he said the Glebe BIA will begin to host events based around the new marketing scheme.

Although the BIA started up in 2008, Russell said much of this branding work is what other business associations would have done in their early years, but for the Glebe, there were bigger fish to fry.

“We are a very young BIA, but no sooner than when we started we were fighting Lansdowne,” Russell said.

“We were basically born and then running a marathon.

Now we are going back to the beginning and building our strategy.”

He said it could be a matter of months before the official branding is unveiled, but in the interim the BIA will continue with neighbourhood favourites, like the annual Glebe Spree.

In addition, Russell said the BIA needs to hire a new executive director.

Former director Christine

Leadman left the BIA to head the just up the road to the Bank Street BIA in September.

NEW DIRECTOR

Russell said the association had not been actively looking for a director until now, but regardless they have been receiving a number of resumes.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about death

J

udging by the sad state of our provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palliative care system, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to have a conversation about death.

The statistics are frightening. According to the Canadian Palliative Care Association, most Canadians would prefer to die in a home-based setting, yet nearly 75 per cent of all deaths occur in a hospital.

Only 16 to 36 per cent of Canadians have access to hospice palliative care depending on where they live.

The situation will only become worse over time, with the seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; population expected to double by 2036. Meanwhile, people are living longer, giving them time to develop more chronic diseases.

Unfortunately, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential hospices are struggling to stay afloat, with a funding model that relies primarily on charitable donations.

The Ontario government only started providing financial support for hospices during the past decade, leaving the rsponsibility of keeping them running to volunteers and community groups.

After sustained lobbying from palliative care agencies, the federal government finally took action, providing $3 million in one-time funding for the Canadian Palliative Care Association to develop a plan to deliver quality end-of-life care across the country.

The 2012-15 initiative advises provincial govern-

ments to have a clear policy on palliative care that promotes access and integrated delivery of services together with the necessary funding.

But based on a recent interview with Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not confident that approach is even on her radar.The minister was recently in town for the opening of the Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre, promoting it as a way to provide less-costly and sometimes more appropriate options for expectant mothers.

But when asked if she saw a parallel with using a similar cost-efficient model to offer non-medical care at a hospice, Matthews said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x153;have to think about that a little bit,â&#x20AC;? adding hospices will always be partially funded by communities, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the communities who want them there.

But the minister is not the only one guilty of avoiding a serious conversation about death.

We all need to start talking about the state of our provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palliative care system and the options available for quality palliative care.

Individually, everyone should prepare an advance care plan, directing their care in the event of a lifethreatening illness. Collectively, we must force this on the legislative agenda at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park.

As it stands, today is not a good day to die.

Things that go beep in the night

S

omething went beep beep beep at 5:30 in the morning. Just loud enough to wake me up, not loud enough to wake up the whole neighbourhood.

It kept going beep beep beep for it seemed like 10 minutes. Could have been a truck backing up, but what truck backs up continuously for 10 minutes?

The first thought was that it was the sound of an electronic device wanting something.

Electronic devices are very needy. If their batteries sink below a certain level, they start going beep, no matter what time it is. Then you have to remember whether the phone or the camera or whatever is in somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purse or somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jacket pocket or under a seat cushion somewhere.

But it was none of those things. It was something outside. Or maybe in the garage.

There was equipment left in the back yard for some work going on. Maybe a piece of that equipment needed something. But there was no beeping in the garage and nothing in the backyard. It was somewhere in the neighbourhood, but no idea where.

By the time I got back to bed, it had stopped. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know what it was. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was a car alarm. Remember when

Maybe they just make little beeps like the ones I was hearing.

Trying then to get back to sleep, I pondered not only the neediness but the stupidity, and perhaps even perversity of our electronic devices.

Long before the first cellphone was invented, Woody Allen had a stand-up routine about his war with the machines he owned.

The toaster burned the toast. The clock ran counter-clockwise. The sun lamp rained on him. So he gathered all the appliances together and spoke to them reasonably, asked them to co-operate.

A few days later, the TV set began to act

up and he attacked it in a rage. Two days later, he was in an elevator, which asked him for his floor. He said 16. The elevator said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you the guy that hit the television set?â&#x20AC;?

Then the elevator took him up and down fast between floors and let him off in the basement.

Most of our machines are not that mean.

Although I have a printer that demands to be realigned when it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it.

If I were Woody Allen I would have a little talk with it and tell it that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s printing just fine the way it is. But I know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reasoning with it, so I go through the whole realigning drill, which is time-consuming and inconvenient.

The thing is, the printer is too stupid to know it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need realigning. The manufacturers probably thought the printer is really smart, because it can send me messages. But if the messages are wrong, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so smart about that?

The same with those things that go beep beep beep. Children make noises when they need something but, except for the very young ones, they know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more effective to make noise when their parents are awake.

Not so for cellphones, cameras and whatever that other beeping thing was. If machines

were really so smart, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d know when people are sleeping.

The fault is ours, of course. We, the technology-obsessed people of the world, taught machines to make noises, to send error messages, to demand upgrades. And if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obey, they make our lives miserable. Which forces us to buy newer machines.

The only possible solution is to turn them off whenever possible. You know they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always asking us to confirm that we want to do it. And there may well be a punishment down the road. But at least it stops the beeping for awhile.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update

What’s diminishing your productivity?

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse who publishes a monthly electronic newsletter on psychology and human behaviour, points to a number of studies that tell us open-concept workspaces actually make us work poorly, for multiple reasons. First, they inhibit our problem-solving capabilities.

“Research shows that the ceaseless hubbub can actually undermine our motivation,” writes Paul.

She points to a study recently published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. In the study, a group of 40 clerical workers were divided into two groups.

The first group was exposed to three hours of low-intensity noise, while the others were given a quiet work environment.

At the end of the period, all the women were asked to figure out a series of puzzles – puzzles that,

actually, had no solution. The women who had worked in the noisy environment gave up early.

The ones that had worked in quiet persisted with the problemsolving.

GOSSIP

Open-concept can also inhibit productive communication. Paul notes that, while open-concept workspaces are designed to increase communication between employees, a lot of it is just unproductive gossip that was once confined to the water cooler. Studies show that people are less likely to make important calls under the watchful eyes of colleagues, preferring instead to take a walk with their cell phones when it’s convenient or foregoing the call entirely. And for managers, open-concept can

be a nightmare.

“I have no private space to coach or discipline my employees,” said one manager in social services.

“If I need to have a meeting with a staff member, I have to book a conference room,” said another government manager. “These are designed with open-concept in mind, too, so everyone walking by can see us conversing in the fish bowl.”

As a writer, I’ve never been one of these hip coffee-shop groupies. In order to get anything done, I need a quiet space.

The ideal writing time for me is in the early morning. If I’ve had a good night sleep, I have many ideas stewing in my brain in the early hours and I’m unlikely to be interrupted by anyone at 5 a.m.

Meanwhile, however, I’ve got to clean my office. Boxes stacked in the corner, paper covering every surface and my bulletin board with five-year-old data on it? These “things” are like people chattering at me all day long.

I’ll let you know how I get on with the clean-up. In the meantime, you may want to find yourself a clean, quiet place to get that project done.

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean CANADA ARMY WEEK MESS DINNER As Deputy Mayor for the City of Ottawa, I had the distinct privilege of cohosting the Army Week Mess dinner with the Commander of the Canadian Army, Lieutenant-General Marquis Hainse on Friday, September 20, 2013.

The dinner was for the entire Senior Army leadership from across the country, invited guests, 12 Honoured guests who were selected members of the Army, sponsors from the Army Run and the Canadian Forces Small Arms Competition. It was an honour to co-host this special event with Lt.Gen. Hainse.

I would like to thank all those who participated in the 6th annual Canada Army Run which brought out a record 22,000 runners this year.

I would like to remind drivers to be cautious on the road with the added volume of children in the community on their daily travels to and from school. I know that speeding is a serious concern for many residents in our neighbourhood and I would like to remind drivers to please slow down when driving in your neighbourhood. I would also like to remind residents to please respect the crossing guards that are in place which help foster a safer community.

Thank you for your cooperation.

onday morning, I sat down at the desk in my home office. As I lowered myself into the chair, my elbow bumped something sticking out of the bookshelf. A dictionary fell on my head – and a condom fell out of it.

It was pretty clear what the universe was trying to tell me – my office had become out-ofcontrol untidy.

Everywhere we turn these days we find tips on increasing our productivity – both personally and professionally. But one thing that diminishes our productivity subtly is our physical environment.

As organizations move toward open-concept offices, employees have to figure out how to filter out not just their own mess, but that of other colleagues as well.

Organizations – like the federal government’s Workplace 2.0 – see open-concept as a boon financially. This is based on the idea that cubicles are cheaper than walls and that, theoretically, people can do their jobs anywhere – but these modern companies may actually be losing money on the productivity side.

Hearing society to hold electronics recycling fundraiser ety, the community and a local high school will be on hand at the event to sort recyclable electronics, raise awareness about Canadian Hearing Society programs and services and thank donors.

“We are thankful to have the support of the community, especially the young people at St. Patrick’s High School, to help us with this event,” added David.

The event is being held in cooperation with RecycleYourElectronics.ca — Ontario’s electronic waste

diversion program, operated by Ontario Electronic Stewardship Residents and business owners in Ottawa and area can support the hearing society by safely and effectively disposing of their unwanted electronic equipment. Funds raised will support the hearing health counselling program that works to keep seniors safe in their homes; and making devices and hearing aids accessible and affordable to clients who need them but couldn’t otherwise af-

ford those devices.

“Ontarians have embraced the RecycleYourElectronics.ca program and continue to take action by visiting approved drop-off sites or depots in their communities,” said Jonathan Spencer, executive director of the Ontario Electronic Stewardship.

“Since beginning operations in 2009, the program has diverted more than 225,000 metric tonnes of electronics from landfill. If stacked in tractor trailer loads parked end-to-end,

it would stretch from downtown Toronto to past Cornwall.”

For more information on acceptable electronics for the program, visit the hearing society’s website at www.chs.ca.

Residents who cannot attend the event at CHS Ottawa on Oct. 19, can visit the website: www.recycleyourelectronics.ca to find the closest collection site or drop-off depot to recycle their unwanted electronics free of charge.

Community - The Canadian Hearing Society Ottawa office is hosting a fundraising event to collect and recycle unwanted electronic waste at their Ottawa office, located at 2197 Riverside Dr. on Oct. 19.

Electronic waste such as MP3 players, cameras, telephones, TVs, VCR and DVD players and recorders, radios, and more can be dropped off at the Ottawa office on or before the event day or picked up. The event comes just before Waste Reduction Week.

“We are inviting anyone who has out-of-use electronics that they don’t want or need to start collecting their items and come to our location on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013 to drop them off for recycling,” said Michel David, regional director at the Ottawa hearing society.

“Funds raised will benefit CHS programs and services for children, youth, adults and seniors who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing in the Ottawa region.”

Canadian Citizenship Not For Sale Canadians know that it is an honour and a privilege to be a citizen of this country. That is why our government continues to take action against those who lie, cheat and scam the system by fraudulently obtaining citizenship or permanent residence status in Canada.

In December 2011, under the leadership of former Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney, our government launched an aggressive initiative to target these fraudsters and send a message that Canadians citizenship is not for sale. At the time, it was revealed that nearly 6,500 people from over 100 countries were being investigated for lying about their presence in Canada in order to maintain status as a permanent resident, or in order to become a citizen. In September 2012, the number of investigations rose to nearly 11,000.

In the past year, there has been an increase of approximately another 1800 investigations and our government has revoked citizenship from 27 people who obtained it illegally. This is a huge increase when you look at history. From 1976 until 2011, only 60 citizenships were revoked.

In May of this year, former CIC Minister Kenney announced that a former citizenship judge, an immigration consultant and an employee of the accused consultant had all been arrested by the RCMP and charged as part of a citizenship fraud investigation.

More recently, the new CIC Minister, Chris Alexander, congratulated the RCMP on charging Basem Farid Awaad of Nova Scotia. Awaad was charged with two counts of Counseling Misrepresentation and two counts of False Representation. Awaad will appear in court on December 5, 2013.

These fraudsters hurt everyone. By illegally obtaining permanent residence or citizenship, these people have access to taxpayer-funded social beneďŹ ts including health care and education. This means that honest Canadians have to pay more out of their own pockets to subsidize these scammers.

Our government is committed to maintaining a system of immigration which attracts the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best and brightest. By also cracking down on those who try to abuse our generosity, we can ensure the long-term prosperity of our great nation.

DYING FOR DIGNITY

Connected to your community

The way forward Ontario is on the cusp of a revolution in the way the province offers palliative care, but the plan hinges on government support Metroland East Special Report

O

ntario’s palliative care agencies offer a chilling prognosis for the decades to come.

With a seniors’ population predicted to double in size by 2036, and a funding model for residential hospice care that relies primarily on charitable donations, the system just isn’t sustainable, say palliative care experts.

Canadians are living longer, giving them more time to develop chronic illnesses.

The health-care system can also expect to encounter a growing number of patients with unpredictable life spans as a result of an increase in cases of dementias such as Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

“Unless something is done in the next few years, we’re going to be in a crisis situation on a number of fronts including palliative care and Alzheimer’s and other dementias and just physical space for treatment of the Baby Boom generation,” said Christine Elliott, Ontario Progressive Conservative health critic.

“We need to start planning seriously now, because this is happening in the next three to five years,” she added. “We’re going to have to start to deal with it as boomers hit 65 and start having more complicated health problems.”

Meanwhile, only 16 to 36 per cent of Canadians have access to hospice palliative care and end-of-life services, according to the Canadian Palliative Care Association, depending on where they live. Three-quarters of all deaths occur in hospital, even though most Canadians would prefer to die at home.

The provincial government has failed to properly fund residential hospices, said France Gélinas, the Ontario NDP health critic. Many are forced to come up with more than half of their operating costs through charitable donations and fundraising drives.

“Except for hands-on care, the Ministry of Health has not paid for hospices, so the hospices are on the hook for everything,” she said. “Fundamentally something is wrong – we don’t ask any other part of the healthcare system to fundraise their operations. Why do we ask hospices to do that?”

Hospice palliative care is a priority for the Ontario government, said provincial Health Minister Deb Matthews.

But she was vague concerning the ministry’s current and future plans, adding that it wasn’t long ago that hospices received no funding at all.

“When George Smitherman was minister he announced some funding.

I recently announced we would cover the nursing care in hospices,” she said.

“So we have come from zero to 50 per cent, or whatever the number is, in a very short period of time.”

The provincial government started providing funding for hospices in 2006.

TIGHT BUDGET

The Ontario government’s action plan on palliative care must recognize both the growing seniors’ demographic and the province’s tight fiscal situation, Matthews said.

“We know we’re not going to have a whole lot more money,” she said. “Our government is committed to keep increasing the health-care budget, but at

In 2011, the ministry asked the local health networks to agree to a partnership to increase access to hospice and palliative care by: • Improving the co-ordination of services • Monitoring care to ensure effective use of resources • Providing fair access to hospices across the province • Improving palliative care at longterm care homes and hospitals • Providing care using an inter-disciplinary team and setting standards for end-of-life care The partnership agreement also recommends the provincial government draft a policy statement support-

ing consistent palliative care planning across every region.

“So, within basically the same envelope, we have to transform how we deliver care,” said Matthews. “One of those things ... is improving options for palliative care.”

One option is reallocating money from hospitals to residential hospice care.

Liberal Senator Sharon Carstairs, who founded and chairs the Canadian Virtual Hospice, said receiving palliative care at a hospital or long-term care facility is the most expensive form of delivery.

“You want to avoid sending someone to a hospital setting if you possibly can. But at the same time you

need a hospital setting,” she said. “It’s turf war. It’s about moving the dollars out of the hospital system and into the community.”

By funding more hospice beds, the province can reduce the burden on hospitals’ emergency rooms and acute care beds, according to a report published in 2009 by the Hospice Association of Ontario’s Residential Hospice Working Group.

An acute care bed in an Ontario city costs an average of $850 per day, nearly twice the amount charged by a hospice for a residential bed: $439 per day.

Using a 10-bed hospice model, this would free up $1.5 million annually in health care spending, according to the hospice working group.

But this money does not represent dollar-for-dollar savings, said Rick Firth, director of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario.

“We’re decreasing the cost of care for the individual and we’re freeing up beds in the hospital for them to use for other priorities,” he said, adding it’s about providing appropriate care for the patient.

DYING FOR DIGNITY Continued from page 14

Moving forward, the province needs to set a funding target of 80 per cent for residential hospices, he said, as well as improve access to hospice in rural communities.

Célestin Abedi, executive director of the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, an advisory group for the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, is hoping to convince the LHIN to change the funding formula for hospices.

“If we would like hospice to play a bigger role in the health-care system, it is not correct to ask them to fundraise for 60 per cent of the budget to do that,” he said.

“In the rural regions, where you almost don’t have any capacity for fundraising, you cannot give them a bed and say, ‘fundraise for 50 or 60 per cent of that money,’ knowing that they don’t have that capacity.”

Hospices already supplement their operations with an army of volunteers. More than 600 people donate their time to Hospice Care Ottawa to keep its services afloat.

See video of one volunteer’s story: ottawacommunitynews.com /ottawaregion-video/

The Champlain LHIN is now looking at how much money goes into palliative care in hospices and in the region. Its strategic plan identifies palliative care as one of the health network’s priorities for 2013-16.

MOVING FORWARD

A big part of the solution to Ontario’s palliative puzzle lies in the integration of services, say palliative care experts.

“Integration is key,” said Firth. “It’s a trend in most of the western world in order to contain health-care costs.”

After years of advocating for improved access to hospice by the Quality End of Life Care Coalition of Canada, the message finally resonated with the federal government.

In 2012, the Canadian Palliative

program aims to help patients and caregivers create a palliative care plan that starts long before the patient is in the final days of life.

“The one thing about the Ottawa program is that the community has come together and (is) talking together about integration of services,” said Kitchen Clarke.

Other examples of cities offering innovative and integrated programs include Edmonton, which has a regional palliative care program that offers 57 hospice beds located in three different areas in the city, as well as an intensive palliative care hospital unit.

Lessons from Roger’s House

T

here’s a lesson for palliative care professionals in the way Roger’s House helps dying children.

“Truly, the model we have for pediatrics would be the gold standard for adults,” said nurse Marion Rattray, manager of Roger’s House.

One of only four hospices of its kind in Canada, Roger’s House provides eight beds and a home-like environment for families whose children are terminally ill.

Respite care, pain-management consultations and other types of ongoing interventions are more necessary for young patients at the end of life, Rattray said.

Caring for palliative children is

usually a more complex challenge than providing the same care for dying adults. Children receiving palliative-care are more often stricken by multiple, complex genetic conditions that leave the child with very high care needs.

“We need to be connected to a tertiary care hospital,” said Lloyd Cowin, executive director of Roger’s House. “That’s critical.”

That need reinforces the link between the hospital’s palliative care team and the hospice – something that differentiates it from hospices that serve adults.

Those lessons could be translated into adult care settings by having medical teams extend palliative care

outside hospitals, she said.

“You’d have a palliative care team in hospital, but that team would also outreach into the community, into the hospices,” Rattray said.

Many hospices are affiliated with hospitals and palliative-care experts who work in a medical setting, said Cowin, but that interdependency is more vital in pediatric palliative care.

One of the big secrets of its success is co-location – the house sits on what was a small sliver of spare land at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Being located on the same site means doctors and nurses from the hospital’s palliative care team help oversee care at Roger’s House.

“It’s very unique,” said Cowin.

“It’s a big reason for our success.”

The labour-intensive youth hospice model works simply because it serves a smaller proportion of palliative patients, Rattray said, making it possible for Roger’s House and CHEO to invest the resources needed to provide that high level of care.

Creating a connection with families and the children themselves helps ensure the patient receives the type of care that’s best for them during the entire course of their illness, Rattray said.

“The beauty of it is if we are consulted early in the illness trajectory we are able to help them all the way through,” she said.

That’s the type of foresight – referred to in the medical community as “advanced care planning” – that palliative-care professionals say would help ensure patients get the care they need – and not treatment they don’t want. It would also reduce the burden of dying adults on hospitals.

The key is to let the patient and his or her symptoms dictate what time of treatment or care is needed, Rattray said.

“In medical schools and in nursing school, basically you’re taught to fix. And we are such a death-denying society that we have to fix.

We just have to fix this. And some things we can’t.”

Sauerkraut a family tradition

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories kitchen.

And that’s when I figured into the picture. It was my job to bring in the cabbages when Father said he was ready for another one. This meant I was constantly running back and forth – inside, outside. It also meant I missed seeing most of the actual job of shredding the big pale green heads, which didn’t please me in the least.

But back in those days, a young daughter did exactly what she was told. There was no negotiating with a brother or sister to change jobs.

It was Emerson and Everett’s job to peel off the very top leaves of each head of cabbage.

Not one leaf more than the very top ones, either -- that would be sheer waste. Beside the table were two huge baskets into

which went the outer leafs.

They wouldn’t be tossed out in the back yard, where garbage was kept. No, these baskets of leaves would go to feed the pigs. This is where my young-

the feed go farther when it was finally tossed out to the pigs, mixed with other slop.

Audrey sliced off the very end of the cabbage with a sharp butcher knife, and that too was tossed into the baskets by the table. Then that head was passed on to Father.

With spotlessly clean hands Father fed the head of cabbage into the wood box straddling the barrel, running it back and forth over the sharp blade, letting the finely shredded cabbage fall into the barrel. Mother used a block of wood attached

Everything would come to a halt and with a measuring cup dipped into the bag of coarse salt, Mother would spread in a good amount

est brother Earl came into the picture.

It was his job to tear down the discarded cabbage into smaller pieces. That way, Father said, it was easier to make

to a short pole (Father’s creation) and every so often Father stopped shedding as she gently packed down the cabbage.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My husband Paul and I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.

Airport Parkway Pedestrian/ Cycling Bridge – October Update On October 4, 201, the Deputy City Manager of Planning and Infrastructure, Nancy Schepers, P.Eng., announced that construction of the bridge is temporarily suspended. This decision was made in response to design concerns that were raised by professional engineers as construction progressed over the summer. Specifically, the concerns are related to maintenance and the overall lifecycle of the bridge.

This is an important connection in our community and as such, I have closely monitored progress on this project since the early planning stages. I too share the frustration and disappointment that many of you have expressed regarding the delays that have taken place with respect to this project. I want to assure you that I will continue advocating on your behalf to make certain that this project is built safely and to the highest quality standards.

I have asked the Deputy City Manager to conduct an independent, third party review of this project.

Elected officials, due to their governance roles, place trust in professionals to design and build important community projects. This trust extends to those persons who we are privileged and honoured to represent. I want to ensure that City staff, and the external contractor, designer and consultants are held accountable for their respective roles and legal responsibilities. I also want stringent processes put in place to prevent this situation from happening again.

The third party independent review will look at every step of this project. While this review is underway, the City has hired Delcan Corporation to examine the design and construction elements to date. Delcan will identify any necessary design modifications required to complete the bridge and the City expects to receive the results of this review by mid-November 2013.

The City Solicitor has confirmed that the City intends to pursue legal action to recover costs, including but not limited to those related to any delays, claims, design review changes and construction modifications.

he big wood barrel had been scrubbed with hot soapy water and a brush and put outside on the back stoop to dry in the sun.

It would take days for it to be as dry as a bone and if the sky looked like a drop of rain might come down, the barrel was rolled into the summer kitchen until the threat was over.

Dozens of big fat cabbages were already in the summer kitchen on a table Father had put together by putting three wide planks on two saw-horses.

A new bag of coarse salt had been bought at Briscoe’s General Store. We were ready.

This would be a Saturday night when there would be no going off to a house party or having neighbours in for a game of cards. This night would be reserved for making sauerkraut and the whole family would be doing the job.

I had mixed feelings about the night we made the sauerkraut. Certainly the whole family was working together brought me special joy, but being the youngest of the five children my job was menial at best. All I was allowed to do was bring in more cabbages from the summer kitchen as they were needed.

The old pine table had been stripped of its well-worn red and white oilcloth and the wood scrubbed clean by my sister Audrey. All the chairs and benches had been moved back to the wall – there would be no sitting that night.

Hands had been scrubbed with a brush and hot soapy water and both Father and Mother wore long white aprons for the job.

When the work-night started, on the table close to one end was the cabbage slicer. Father said it had been made by his great-great grandfather when he settled in Northcote generations ago. It looked like a long narrow wood box with no lid.

In the bottom of the box was a sharp blade that Father said could be deadly if you accidentally ran your hand over it.

The well-scrubbed barrel had been rolled into the kitchen right after supper and it sat close to the table at one end.

Straddling the barrel was the wood box with the deadly blade which also, of course, had been scrubbed within an inch of its life.

Now it was time to bring in the cabbages from the summer kitchen. Not all at once – they were kept out as long as possible, so that when they were finally shredded they would still be well chilled from being outside of the steaming hot

BARREL FULL

For some reason I was never able to fathom, the number of shredded cabbages was always enough to exactly fill the barrel. Not right to the top, of course, but with about 25 centimetres of what Father called â&#x20AC;&#x153;breathing room.â&#x20AC;? The very top of the shredded cabbage got the final toss of coarse salt, then a wellscrubbed stone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same one we used every year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was the last addition to the barrel. The stone would make sure the cabbage was well packed-down.

It took Father and three brothers to roll the barrel out to the summer kitchen. Of course the sauerkraut would not be ready to eat until it had been well fermented and was always best when the blasts of winter froze it solid. By then, which is something else I had trouble figuring out, the cabbage turned to sauerkraut and had settled down into the barrel.

The amount was considerably less, I thought, than what had been put in that night in our kitchen.

For days afterwards, I would sneak a peek into the barrel and would be met with the sharp tang of the fermenting cabbage. I would have a feeling of contentment come over me, because now I knew, deep in that awful Depression, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how bad things got, we would at least have sauerkraut to put on the supper table.

Vincent Massey seeks funding for playground revival Aviva Community Fund encourages local organizations to compete Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - Vincent Massey Public School hopes a new playground is in store for its students.

The public school recently entered the annual Aviva Community Fund, hosted by Aviva Insurance.

Every year, the company puts the call out to local and national groups, such as schools and community associations, and encourages them to pitch an idea which ultimately produces a positive impact.

Vincent Massey, located on Smyth Road, is a junior kindergarten to Grade 8 school with 640 students.

“It has been said that the skills that children learn on the playground become lifelong skill sets that are carried forward into adulthood,” the school states on their project page on the Aviva website.

“Not only do children learn to push their physical limits, they also learn to push the boundaries of their imagination and character. It is often on the playground that children learn who they are, and how to understand the world they live in.”

“It is for these reasons that acquiring a new playground in the kindergarten yard of Vincent Massey Public School is so important. It will not only contribute to the well-being of the children who will use the equipment, but it will also contribute to a better community as a whole.”

The school is seeking to obtain funding to improve the kindergarten yard. The current structure is small,

“Currently this is the only play structure for approximately 130 children in junior and senior kindergarten,” the school states.

“Although all parents and staff recognize that the structure is inadequate, there is simply not enough money in the budget to purchase new equipment.”

In addition to the kindergarten yard, the school hopes to see an improvement regarding landscaping surrounding it.

The school also proposes to have an existing paved area repaired so students can participate in games which promote literacy, numeracy

and physical activity.

ple, increased green space has been demonstrated to reduce stress and improve concentration, as well as overall mental health.

For Vincent Massey, there is no time like the present to plan for the future.

For the fifth year in a row, Aviva has provided over $3.5 million in funding to 61 charities and community groups including youth programs, animal shelters, camps and centres.

Qualifying rounds take place Sept. 30 to Nov. 29 where individuals rally people to vote for their project. At the end of the qualifying round, a total of 90 semi-finalists are announced. Between Dec. 2 and Dec. 11, they are then asked to add a budget to their idea, and compete with the rest of the top ideas from the qualifying round.

Between Dec. 18 and Jan. 28, thirty winners will be selected to receive funding for their project.

Kidney walk hopes to raise awareness, funds for research Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - OrlĂŠans resident Kassie Stephan has been dealing with kidney issues since she was a toddler.

Now 17, she was diagnosed with cystinosis, a rare genetic metabolic disease, when she was three years old. While she became well acquainted with the nephrosis team at CHEO, Kassie said she led a relatively normal life until she was 13.

To help her failing kidneys, the teen was on dialysis three times a week for six hours at a time. As her transplant neared, her time on dialysis increased to 16 hours a day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was only off dialysis to go to school,â&#x20AC;? she said.

It was Sept. 17, 2008 when her pager went off, indicating that there was a kidney available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started to dream of a normal life,â&#x20AC;? Kassie said.

The transplant was done two days later, but by July her dreams quickly faded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in full rejection by then,â&#x20AC;?

Kassie said, adding she has been waiting on the transplant list for four years since the rejection.

Her mother, Connie Alguire, could be a match but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t healthy enough to undergo the procedure. As a result, she has undergone a gastric bypass and lost 80 pounds in the last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe my dream of a normal life is that much closer,â&#x20AC;? Stephan said.

Stephanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech kicked off the annual Kidney Wallk on Sept. 29, which boasted 150 people hoping to raise awareness about kidney disease and raise funds for the Kidney Foundation of Ottawa. Bruce Hill, a manger with the Kidney Foundation, said Kassieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual for those that suffer from kidney disease.

Walk one of the biggest fundraisers Continued from page 22

The foundation has raised more than $100 million for research since its inception in 1964.

Hill said the annual walk is one of the biggest fundraisers for the foundation, which also offers support for dialysis pa-

tients through peer groups and counselling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are five stages of kidney disease but most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about it until their kidneys are failing,â&#x20AC;? Hill said.

Hill added most dialysis patients live in poverty-like conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have to go get dialysis three

times a week for a few hours at a time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to hold down a job,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The charity raised more than $700,000 from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk.

According to the foundation, there are currently 10,000 Ontarians living with some form of kidney disease. For more information, visit www.kidney.ca.

Play park spreads joy for children with autism Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - Liam McManus has always loved the adventure a play structure invites.

From a very young age, he loved climbing up the stairs, taking turns on the slide, and getting exercise.

In short, the six year old boy has benefitted from the play park, as have many other children who have autism and benefit from Intensive Behavioural Intervention treatment.

The play park, located at CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autism program on Industrial Avenue, was an idea sparked by Liam, whose parents, Paul and Marca, noticed the great joy their son experienced while outside on the play structure.

The play park opened in the summer, but a ribbon-cutting ceremony with CHEO officials and Liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was held in September, at which time the organization unveiled the name: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lookoutâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were touched and very proud,â&#x20AC;? said Paul.

The play structure has been used heavily ever since, he said.

The parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesake has gained new life lessons no oth-

er autism treatment can master, he said.

A few months before his third birthday, Liam was diagnosed as moderate to severe on the autism spectrum. At that time, his family learned of the various autism services available in the Ottawa area. But CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Autism Intervention Program of Eastern Ontario caught their attention. The program conducts one-on-one Intensive Behavioural Intervention with the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We applied for Liam to be admitted, but were warned that it was a two to two and a half year waiting list,â&#x20AC;? said Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything we learned about autism from the get-go was that early intervention was the key.â&#x20AC;?

As a result, they started private behaviour therapy with Liam within a couple of months of his diagnosis and continued it until Liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number came up for the autism program a little over two years later.

Described as a happy and affectionate boy with a younger brother (also recently diagnosed on the autism spectrum) and an older sister, Liam loves other activities such as swimming and just about anything electronic. In September 2012,

Liam started as a student at CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Industrial Road autism intervention site, receiving 25 hours of therapy spread over four weekdays.

His parents were impressed by the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set up when given a tour at the time of Liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission, but were disappointed to hear there was no outdoor component. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a very young age, Liam has loved climbing on play structures, and with seemingly endless energy to burn, it was a great means for him to get exercise, improve his motor skills, and interact with others,â&#x20AC;? said Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was with this realization that we decided to approach the staff at the Industrial Road site to broach the idea of raising funds for the installation of a play structure of some sort on site.â&#x20AC;?

Recognizing financial assistance was key to make this idea a reality, they embarked on a quiet fundraising venture, with the support of the CHEO Foundation.

With support of family and some related contacts, including the RCMP and HSBC bank, they were able to secure $40,000 towards the installation of the play structure.

And, said Paul, they could not have done it without the support from CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructor-therapists, who have helped Liam accomplish much more than they could ever have imagined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His communication and social interaction skills including things you and I might take for granted, such as eye contact, have all improved dramatically,â&#x20AC;? said Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he started at CHEO, Liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vocabulary was very limited and any requests he made usually consisted of one word or the short preamble. He is now able to speak in simple sentences and understands much more of what is asked of or told to him.â&#x20AC;?

The therapists at CHEO, said Paul, were able to address Liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavioural regulation issues very quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He became much more able to just go with the flow of daily life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a family now, we are able to go to many places, such as grocery shopping, that were previously daunting tasks.

Liam actually enjoys the experience of it, and so do we.â&#x20AC;?

Additionally, Liam has gone from being a resistant eater who ate four foods before

starting at CHEO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which consisted of raisin toast, alphabet pretzels, Bearpaw cookies, and bacon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to including grapes, blueberries, and apple sauce, thanks to CHEO. All in all, the family saw better results from a few months of therapy at CHEO than they had ever seen from two years of private therapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having paid out-of-pocket so much for those first two years and then to receive the CHEO therapy for free, we felt indebted to say the least,â&#x20AC;? Paul said.

THANKS TO STAFF

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to show our appreciation as well as thank the staff for their hard work and dedication, and the play structure seemed a good way to so.â&#x20AC;?

The McManuses believe the same type of social and physical activity can benefit other children with autism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It encourages natural social interaction, which the majority of these children have issues with; rather than trying to â&#x20AC;&#x153;teachâ&#x20AC;? how to acceptably interact, it lets things happen between the kids all on their own,â&#x20AC;? said Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you are living with autism, every tool that can help your child develop their skills is something to embrace.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Lise Bisnaire, CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autism program director, echoed Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The playground is such a welcome addition to the program,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children learn such important skills on the structure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking turns, asking playmates questions, and even practical skills like hopping and climbing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that they can use in day-to-day life.

Through play, we can support the development and build the confidence of children who might not learn through traditional methods.â&#x20AC;?

Children who are in the program learn skills and tools which will eventually allow them to join their classmates in school.

The program is intensive, according to CHEO, because it involves approximately 25 hours a week with the child and a therapist working oneon-one to develop a broad range of communication, socialization, self-help and play skills.

The autism program and the school program both support more than 920 children and families who have been diagnosed with autism in the Ottawa area.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated more than 45 children have an opportunity to take advantage of the new structure as part of their treatment.

Councillors on the city’s finance committee narrowly approved a new agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation that will see the city and OLG partner on a community recognition program.

FILE

Skeptical councillors approve new OLG deal Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A “unilateral” contract the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation delivered to the city gives the OLG freedom to define the number of slot machines and gaming tables in Ottawa.

The city’s finance and economic development committee narrowly supported the agreement on Oct. 1.Despite the clause undermining city council’s recent decision to only allow 1,250 slot machines and 21 gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, the city’s finance committee signed off on the contract last week. But committee members did so on the understanding that the OLG would put in writing that it would respect the city’s decision on the number of slots and tables before city council was asked to give final approval to the agreement on Oct. 9.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said the OLG advised him it was prepared to put that in writing in time for the council decision. Mayor Jim Watson, who heads the finance committee, also put forward a motion to the committee reinforcing support for council’s decision

about the number of slots and tables. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans was the only committee member to dissent on that amendment.

City solicitor Rick O’Connor said the tone and format of the “agreement” was a departure from similar contracts with the OLG. “If I were to tell you this was an agreement negotiated in the normal course, I would be being disingenuous,” he said. “This is not a routine negotiation, so there is no back and forth.”

The agreement doesn’t change much for the financial relationship between the OLG and the city. It adds a contribution to the city of four per cent of the profits from table games, which doesn’t apply now because there are not yet any gaming tables at the raceway. In the last five years, the city received between $4.3 and $4.4 million annually from raceway slots revenue.

The new agreement also adds the creation of a community recognition program, which the city will be obligated to partner with the OLG to design and implement. The agreement requires at least one community promotional event

to be held annually. It is anticipated the city would be required to pay for its own costs for at least the one event reach year, according to a city staff report. The city manager will be discussing the details with OLG. Some committee members, including Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette, expressed concern that the program would obligate the city to become a “cheerleader” for the OLG. Bruce Jutzi, the only member of the public who signed up to speak to the committee about the issue, said that clause is only one part of the new agreement that’s problematic.

Other councillors, particularly Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, were also concerned about a clause that absolves the OLG of any liability.

Taylor, along with College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, RideauRockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli and Deans voted against the agreement. Committee members who voted yes included: Allan Hubley (Kanata South), Peter Hume (Alta Vista), Maria McRae (River), Monette, Doug Thompson (Osgoode) and the mayor.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, October 10, 2013

News - When Denis Trottier started to feel sick, he said there were days when he couldn’t find the energy to get out of his car and go into the office.

“I would sit in my car and literally cry for hours, telling myself that today I was going to make it,” Trottier said.

The partner at KPMG, a tax audit and advisory company, said he felt if he told his fellow business partners, he would lose his job -- but that was not the case.

“They wouldn’t let me go, they supported me,” he said.

Trottier sought help, and with the support of his family and staff, doctors and councillors at the Royal, he said he got better, but life remains a battle.

And because of this battle, Trottier said he hopes that one day people will feel free to talk about mental health illnesses as easily as they can talk about having cancer. He added that ultimately, he would like every workplace to have a designated mental health care worker, much like a designated first aid certified employee.

“Think about it: when is the last time we just handed out a BandAid?” Trottier asked.

On Oct. 1, hundreds gathered at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre to hear Trottier’s story and to discuss mental health illnesses in the workplace at the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health’s sixth annual Leaders for Mental Health Breakfast.

“In my 27 year career, by far the toughest thing I have ever done is to do this today,” Trottier said.

Over the course of the last five years, the Royal’s foundation has

raised $2 million for the cause, helping increase research and support for mental ill individuals.

The breakfast featured other emotional stories from people living with a mental health illness, including CTV anchor Graham Richardson’s recount of living with a family member battling the illness.

“What if there was no fear, no fear of stigma, no fear of institution, what if there were no voices in her head,” Richardson said. “It’s been nearly 40 years, my brother and I don’t think its possible, but what if?”

Trottier and Richardson asked those in attendance to help support the Royal’s initiative to raise money for research and patient care.

The breakfast aimed to raise thousands of dollars, asking people to make multi-year donations.

According to the foundation, donations have already helped: * Established a professional development endowment fund for nurses; * Supported world-class researchers in finding causes and treatment for some of the most prevalent mental illnesses today including Alzheimer’s disease, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia; * Purchased special beds for patients in the geriatric psychiatry program that help to reduce the number of patients who fall out of bed and ensure a higher level of comfort for our frailest patients; * Funded an occupational therapy program that teaches patients how to develop a website. This provides not only an opportunity for self expression, but also the development of technology skills that are transferrable to the working world; * Funded a family resource centre in Brockville to provide families and patients with learning tools to help them manage life with mental illness.

City sticks with scaled-back election rebates Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city will enshrine an ad-hoc program to offer rebates on donations to municipal election campaigns.

Ottawa is one of only three municipalities in Ontario to offer such as rebate (Toronto and Ajax are the others). The refund was created as a way to “level the playing field” between corporate and individual donations to municipal election candidates and encourage public participation in elections – and it worked.

In 2002, before the rebate was offered, 65 per cent of donations come from corporations. That dropped to 33

per cent at the next election in 2003 with the introduction of the rebates and continued to fall to 21 per cent at the 2006 election. The percentage of corporate contributions rose slightly to 24 per cent during the 2010 election.

But city council never identified a source for the funds used to pay out the rebates, so city staff dipped into the election reserve fund to pay out more than $667,000 in rebates since the city began offering the program.

Mayor Jim Watson put forward a motion to continue offering the rebates and direct staff to identify a funding course for council to approve as a budget pressure in the 2014 budget.

On Oct. 1, the finance and economic development committee also approved staffrecommended changes to the formula used to dole out rebates: • Rebates will not be offered for donations of less than $25 (pervious limit was $50) • Donors of $25.01 to $100 will receive a 50 per cent rebate (previous rebate offered 75 per cent back from donations between $50 and $150) • Donors of $100.01 to $200 will get a $50 rebate plus 25 per cent of the amount by which the contribution exceeds $100 (previously, people who donated $150.01 to $300 received a rebate amounting to 75 per cent of the first $150 and 50 per cent of the remain-

ing amount) • Donors of more than $200 will receive a flat $75 rebate (the program used to provide a rebate of $187.50 for donations of more than $300) The average contribution amount is $200, according to the city staff report. Corporate donors will not be eligible for rebates.

The changes are expected to reduce the cost of the rebate program from $500,000

to $285,000 – a reduction of $215,000. Adding an annual contribution of $71,250 to a new election rebate reserve fund should cover that cost, according to a staff report.

Watson said reasonable controls for rebates on larger donations and identifying a sustainable funding source made the changes a good idea.

The finance and economic development committee sup-

ported the changes on Oct., with dissent from Kanata South. Coun. Allan Hubley.

Council was set to get the final say on Oct. 9.

The city began offering municipal election rebates in 2002 after the federal and provincial governments rejected its request for income tax credits for donations. Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume put forward the motion that originally created the program.

Committee takes a swing with Can-Am League AA ball price tag was $40M Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city’s finance committee has approved a 10-year deal to bring pro baseball – although not AA baseball – to Ottawa. If approved by city council, a Can-Am League team will hit the field in 2015.

FILE

News - After dreaming of an AA baseball team, Ottawa will instead be settling for the return of a CamAm league franchise in 2015.

City council balked at the proposed $40-million price tag of bringing a AA minor league, professional team to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium in Overbrook and asked staff to go back to the drawing board. The only option that made financial sense is a $4.75-million contract with the lowlevel Can-Am league, which fielded a team called the Ottawa Rapidz that lasted one unsuccessful year in 2008.

Mayor Jim Watson called the CanAm proposal “a realistic and affordable plan” that is good for baseball fans and taxpayers.

“There is an opportunity to put

this facility to the use that was intended … and also open it up as a community space,” he said.

The main savings are in the cost to the city to fix up its Coventry Road stadium. While the minor league team would have needed to see $40 million in taxpayer-funded repairs and upgrades to the 20-year-old facility, the Can-Am league is comparatively a bargain, requiring about $750,000 in fixes and upgrades up front.

The annual net cost for the city to operate the stadium will be $400,000, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, but that will rise to $650,000 by 2018.

Mayor says ‘no appetite’ to tear down stadium Continued from page 32

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley was the only member of the finance and economic development committee to vote against the deal during an Oct. 1 meeting. He questioned why the city is in the baseball business when it’s getting out of things like operating a municipal golf course and discontinuing the Nepean equestrian park.

During the meeting, councillors wanted to know what the $40 million would have included, but that information is secret because it’s part of Mandalay Baseball’s confidential bid the city rejected.

The city and many of its baseball fans had set their hopes on a team affiliated with the Blue Jays.

Instead, Ottawa will get a franchise in a six-team league that is not affiliated with the major leagues.

The team will play 50 home games a season, leaving time for community events at the stadium, according to a city staff report.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans was critical of the plan and questioned w h y the city

would tie its hands with a baseball contract just as the construction of light-rail near the stadium site could boost

the property’s value for sale and redevelopment.

Watson said light rail provides an opportunity to give the stadium and baseball games an attendance a boost.

David Gourlay of Champions for Ottawa Baseball said the process of stirring up fan support and lobbying for a pro team has shown him that there are not enough financial resources or partnership opportunities right now to make a AA team viable here.

“Yes, baseball belongs here and an affiliated team would be a good choice,” he said. “Clearly, we are not there now.”

Supporting baseball in Ottawa would have required city council to recognize its benefit and invest in it over the long term, which hasn’t happened, Gourlay said.

If the Can-Am experience goes well, it could pave the way for a higher-level team

in the future, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who has long promoted baseball in the city.

Council’s other baseball champion, Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette, said the contract guarantees there will be less loss to taxpayers and creates a foundation the city can build on.

The proposed contract with the league, which still needs council’s final approval, would give Can-Am a 10year lease and two five-year options to renew. It also recommends the city seek additional tenants, likely sportsrelated, to rent office space in

the stadium.

Some councillors wondered whether that was enough of an out for the city in case a better team came along or it became obvious that selling and redeveloping the land would be more beneficial to the city.

SELL STADIUM

Peter Bachelor, a wellknown local high-school baseball coach and member of Friends of the Blue Jays Fan Association, advised the city to partner with a company that has “deep pockets” and possibly sell the stadium.

That option isn’t on the table now because there is “no appetite” to see the facility torn down, the mayor said.

It would cost $367,000 in utility and minor maintenance costs to keep the stadium sitting empty, city staff said.

The Can-Am League was originally established in Ontario and Upstate New York in 1936 and folded a number of times before restarting in 2005. Nearby teams include Trois-Rivieres and Quebec City.

Can-Am teams play an interleague schedule with the American Association, another independent league.

PET OF THE WEEK

News - Draft rules for how the city intends to deal with bulky homes that tower over their neighbouring residences will be presented at a series of upcoming meetings.

The draft rules are the second part of a study on how low-rise infill homes fit into existing neighbourhood and follow Part 1 of the study that sparked ire from developers and mostly support from communities that are desperate to retain the feel of the neighbourhoods they love.

The changes are aimed at cooling some of the tensions that boil up when neighbours don’t like the size of a new home being proposed where there wasn’t one before, such as the practice of splitting up a lot that used to have one home and building two or three homes there instead.

The draft changes will be presented at the following information sessions: • Tuesday, Oct. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Sandy Hill Community Centre pre-school room, 250 Somerset St. E. • Monday, Oct. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Tom Brown Are-

While the first phase of the infill guidelines – currently

under legal appeal from a group of developers – focused on parking and greenery, the second phase gets to the heart of the issue: the height and mass of new homes in established communities inside the greenbelt. What was once a “trickle” of infill applications is now a flood, said city planning manager Alain Miguelez.

More than 1,600 applications for small-scale infill housing have been filed with the city in the past five years

Pet Adoptions Hoju (A159296) is a lovable, seven-year-old, neutered male dog who was surrendered to the Ottawa Humane Society by his owner and is now available for adoption.

He is a beautiful Siberian husky and border collie mix who isn’t looking to slow down any time soon and would love to find an active family with older children or teens to bring him on their outdoor adventures!

Hoju has a nice thick coat that will require regular brushing in order to reduce shedding.

Hoju has so much love to give and would like to be with his humans as often as possible! Are you looking for a partner in crime? Please consider adopting Hoju.

Gloucester high turns into zombie wasteland Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Students from Henry Monro Public School ran for their lives as zombies -- students from Gloucester High School -- chased them during a unique event aimed at promoting running.

The event brought children from grades 6, 7 and 8 to the high school on Oct. 3 to participate in the Zombie Run. The event featured a twokilometre obstacle course race, daring students to race to the finish line with their “lives” intact. Gloucester’s cross country coach Jason Sinkus deMICHELLE NASH/METROLAND cided to host the event in an effort to Audrey Hyde ducks away from a zombie at the Gloucester High School promote the sport.

Run allows students to get creative Continued from page 38

When Sinkus suggested the idea to his team, they all jumped at the chance and after looking at similar zombie run events, decided to build the course based on what they could find in the physical education department.

“They really let their creative juices flow, and I think it turned out really well,” he said.

The team played the part

well, dressing up in torn clothing, stumbling and growling with blank stares. Sinkus said the Orléans shop Halloween Alley helped out by getting the students zombie-ready.

Sinkus said he was impressed with how the younger students worked together to get pass the zombies.

“What I think a lot of people don’t realize is that cross country is a team sport, today, these kids are working as a team, this brings them together,” Sinkus

said.

Sinkus said he sent the word out to the local public schools, hoping to garner interest in running early on in the students.

The coach said he sees this becoming an annual event and importantly, a Gloucester High School event.

“It’s just great to see them love running without even realizing it,” he said.

After the run, the Henry Monro students trained with the cross country team.

Poilievre hands over a $600 cheque for the restoration of the Vernon cenotaph. The funds are left over after the close of the Fallen But Not Forgotten initiative, which raised money to honour several fallen First World War soldiers whose names were missing from the cenotaph in Metcalfe.

The money raised, paired with a grant from the federal cenotaph and memorial restoration program, was greater than the goal of $3,000, which allowed for funds to be made available for the restoration of the Vernon cenotaph.

Ruddy, Shenkman donate $1 million to hospice Fundraising campaign reaches half of its total goal

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

John Ruddy, left, and Bill Shenkman donated $1 million to Hospice Care Ottawa’s Hospice Ottawa West Campaign, and were granted naming rights for the new Kanata residential hospice. The building is named the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice. year, Desjardins mentioned to the Shenkmans the potential of a west end residential hospice “We had no money, we had no site. It literally was just a dream,” said Desjardins.

By April, Hospice Care Ottawa had secured a site at the former Trinity Presbyterian Church. The deal closed in June, with a special key ceremony held to commemorate the move.

And then the hospice received more good news.

Over the summer, Desjardins received an email from Bill asking how much it would cost for the primary naming opportunity for the new building.

“I practically fell off my chair,” said Desjardins.

The first step will be to move the administration into the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice by January. The second phase will be to expand the day programs and have more available at the Kanata site by 2014. The third

phase is to build a 10-bed residential hospice on the site by 2016.

“Today of course is a first because it is a big step on our way to having a full-service hospice here in the west end of Ottawa, in Kanata,” said Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa, an amalgamation of Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court.

“It’s so touching, I was overwhelmed,” she added about receiving the news of the donation.

News - The campaign to build a 10-bed hospice in Kanata is halfway complete following the donation of $1 million from the Shenkman and Ruddy families, announced on Oct. 2.

The donation brings the Hospice Ottawa West Campaign to more than $3 million dollars – halfway to the $6 million goal needed for the west-end hospice to open in 2016.

“This gift is significant for more reasons than just the number of zeros. One, it’s the largest gift ever made to a hospice in our community … it is among the largest gifts ever made to a hospice in Canadian history,” said Amy Desjardins, president of the Bruyère Foundation.

The foundation partnered with Hospice Care Ottawa to raise $6 million to complete the first of a threephase plan to build the full-service Kanata hospice.

The residential hospice, located at 110 McCurdy Dr. in Katimavik, will now be known as the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice.

Palliative care holds a special place in the hearts of John and Jennifer Ruddy, as well as Bill and Maureen

Shenkman, who donated the funds to Hospice Care Ottawa’s Hospice West Campaign.

“My family’s experienced firsthand the importance of hospice care when my sister Gina spent her last days there a few months ago,” said John, the president and chief executive officer of Trinity Development Group Inc. “The compassionate care my sister received was second to none, and provided her with comfort and dignity.”

“I was trying to think of a word, just one single word that could describe the good work and importance of Bruyère, and of course, this good hospice,” said Bill, chairman of the Shenkman Group of Companies.

“The word I came up with is dignity.

This is dignity personified.”

The Ruddys and Shenkmans have sponsored areas of the Bruyère Continuing Care centre, with the Maureen and William Shenkman Palliative Care Unit and the John and Jennifer Ruddy Geriatric Day Hospital.

“Bill Shenkman and John and Jennifer Ruddy have time and time again made the choice to give back to the community in very significant and often overwhelming ways,” said Desjardins.
