Alternative found for Regina Street Public School Community’s pleas heard, trustees back proposal BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Parents and students of Regina Street Public School weren’t ready to exhale. They’ve been holding their breath since late last spring, hoping their school would escape a falling axe on west-end public schools during the public school board’s accommodation review process. It included a review of 26 schools. The vote on March 1 was the final hurdle they faced, after trustees voted to save the school at the committee level and turn it into an alternative school. The board decided to close seven schools in total through the process, six in the west end and Rideau High School in the east end. “We always said it’s not over until the votes are counted,” said Heather Amundrud, chair of Regina Street’s School Council. That being said, she is excited that trustees voted at the committee of the whole on Feb. 13 and 14 to keep Regina open in September. “We are just happy that our neighbourhood school and environmental studies is going to be around for a while longer,”
Amundrud said. J.H. Putman school also got reprieve, albeit only until an intermediate wing could be built on to Agincourt Public. It took two nights of deliberations at the committee level, but trustees chose to close J.H. Putman Public School, D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School, Greenbank Middle School, Leslie Park Public School, Grant Alternative School and Century Public School. The result of the vote on March 1 was not available before press time. The recommendation would turn Regina Street Public School into an alternative school. Students from Grant Alternative choosing to stay in the alternative program would move to Regina Street Public School. According to the board’s website, alternative elementary programs are based on student-centred learning. It also provides students with the opportunity to “meet Ministry expectations with flexibility to allow greater concentration in areas of their own interest and aptitudes.” While board chair Shirley Seward didn’t support keeping Regina Street Public School open at committee, she said she would vote in favour at the March meeting.

of-the-box ideas to clinical trials in return for salary support and a research grant for up to five years. They will also be mentored by some of the upwards of 60 senior and clinical scientists at the research institute. Even hard-to-fund research is welcome. “We want them harnessed for mental health. We don’t want them driving Uber cabs,� said Merali. “If we don’t foster that, we lose them.� Without philanthropy, this level of research would not be possible. The donor behind the $6-million gift has declined public recognition. “They quietly, yet very powerfully, want to enable bright, energetic young scientists to find cures for those battling mental illness,� Merali said. “How very Canadian this is.� As it embarks on the creation of the e-RIMh program, The Royal is especially interested in research related to depression, the brain-heart connection, stress and trauma, brain stimulation and multimodal brain imaging. However, other innovative ideas are also welcome, Merali said. Beyond the next five years, there is hope the program can continue if other donors come forward. Researchers have until April 30 to apply. They will be chosen by an internationally renowned panel of scientists, and their addition to The Royal’s team will be announced this fall.

Health Research to establish Emerging Researchers in Mental Health, or e-RIMh, the first program of its kind in Canada. The hope is that it will lead to breakthroughs, perhaps even uncover a cure, allowing mental-health research to catch up to advancements made in medicine in recent decades, such as for cancer, heart disease and diabetes. “People often get cured or at least survive these illnesses for a much longer period than ever before,� Dr. Zul Merali, president and chief executive of The Royal Institute of Mental Health Research. “But nothing much has changed when it comes to treating mental illness.� Patients with mental illness are still diagnosed based on their symptoms. And while treatment options “offer glimmers of hope,� more than 60 per cent of people with mental illness don’t respond well to available treatments, Merali said. “It’s not getting them to their fullest potential.� And any treatments and discoveries that have been made in the field of mental health have been few and far between, and cost billions of dollars and take decades to reach the clinical trial stage. The e-RIMh program will serve as a “new research incubator,� where researchers who are within five years of completing a medical degree or PhD can advance their innovative and out-

Hintonburg, Leiper said the rest of the ward will be watching the outcome. “It’s not going to create that canyon effect that we see up near Island Park Drive, but there is a really strong concern from residents and I feel it myself that if we support nine in here, that we could see the buildings to the west where developers might want extra height,� he said.

At a recent open house, about 15 people attended to weigh in on the proposal. Leiper’s looking for a step back along Armstrong, above the second storey to preserve the street’s low-rise feel.

Where there’s a two-storey office building at the corner of Wellington Street West and Garland Street, a new proposal for a nine-storey mixed-use development is in the works. The city will consider a zoning bylaw amendment and an official plan amendment for 979 Wellington St. W. and comments on the application are due March 3. The plan includes 57 residential units, commercial space and 35 parking spaces, as well as 30 bicycle spots for bikes. Commercial units would be accessed from Wellington Street West and Armstrong Street. The site sits at the corner, adjacent to Somerset Square Park and backs onto Armstrong Street. The development would have a floor area of 3,450 square metres and it would be more than 30 metres tall. Currently, the corner is zoned for a six-storey building. “There are a couple of key changes that I am looking for before I can support it,� said Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper.

Transition begins this spring Continued from page 1
“I didn’t support it at the first meeting, but I plan to support it at the upcoming board meeting because I’ve thought about it and it makes sense to me,” Seward said in an interview before the final vote. Seward was hesitant to support the proposal because she was uncertain about creating a new alternative program. She thought students might be better served in an existing alternative school like Churchill Alternative School in Westboro. She said the argument to
incorporate Mud Lake would provide interesting lessons about the environment, science and nature. During the western area accommodation review debate, the board also heard from a University of Ottawa professor wanting to create a lab school at Regina Street Public School, where Regina’s teachers, who are considered experts in outdoor education, would teach the next generation of teachers. Seward said there’s no reason that program can’t be explored once Regina’s

fate is settled. Once all the decisions are final, plans to transition the schools, students and staff will begin. “It will be a busy time, but I have every confidence that we’ll be ready to start the new year in September 2017 with better learning places for our students,” Seward said. The final vote on the recommendations of the eastern area accommodation review is scheduled for March 7. -With files from Megan DeLaire.

WEST Are you constantly turning up the volume on the television? This makes watching television challenging for you and loud to people around you.
Do you find yourself constantly raising the volume on your television? Do commercials seem louder? Is your family always asking you to turn the volume down? Hearing the television can be a common problem even for people who can hear everything else just fine. Fortunately, the rechargeable Phonak Audéo™ B-R hearing aid has been specifically designed to improve your television listening experience, allowing you to enjoy the shows you love without disrupting the people around you. Frequently turning up the volume on the television can be one of the first signs of an undetected high-frequency hearing loss. This type of hearing loss is caused by damage to microscopic cells deep within our inner ears called “hair cells.” Normally, these hair cells detect incoming sounds and change them into information our brain uses to hear. With a high-frequency hearing loss, the hair cells that let us hear soft, high-pitched speech sounds are damaged, which can make speech sound unclear or mumbled. 4 Ottawa West News - Thursday, March 2, 2017
Most people won’t notice this drop in speech clarity right away, because they are usually listening to only one or two people in a quiet area, and get plenty of visual cues from the person talking. When watching television, there can be loud music in the background, people speaking fast or with an accent, and you cannot always see the face of the person talking. While turning up the volume helps a little, it will not improve the clarity you are missing out on.
Fortunately, a new hearing aid has been designed with this problem in mind. Programmed to fit your unique listening needs, the rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids will significantly improve your understanding of television, while keeping the volume at a much more comfortable level. These advanced devices are completely selfadjusting with no buttons to push, dials to turn, or batteries to change. You’ll be free to enjoy the shows you love while hearing your absolute best. Connect Hearing wants to help you hear the TV better. Call 1.888.408.7377 or visit connecthearing.ca/recharge today and register for your free hearing test*. Qualified candidates will receive a no-obligation trial of the Phonak Audéo B rechargeable hearing aid, so you can hear for yourself how these hearing aids will help you hear your favourite show.

What does International Women’s Day mean to you?
Laura Dudas, president of the Blackburn Community Association and Girl Guide leader
“It’s also an opportunity to teach my children, in particular my daughter, that there are no limitations on what women can do and that when they are faced with instances of gender inequality, they must speak up and take action.”
Nuala Durkin, volunteer at St. Mary’s Home.
“Women’s Day is a worldwide event celebrating women’s achievements, big and small. Words cannot describe the significance of giving. The most simple acts of benevolence and random acts of kindness are incredibly important.”
Women across the city share their thoughts Around the world, on March 8, events will be held to mark International Women’s Day. And across the city events are planned to celebrate the many achievements of women – accomplishments that include everything from the cultural to
political. While the first International Women’s Day was celebrated by the United Nations in 1975, the event goes back even further – to the early 1900s when in 1908 women marched through
New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights, according to its website. The day also highlights the need for gender parity; a goal that according to some counts will take another 170 years.
Tierney Sterling, 17, co-president of Sacred Heart High School
“I believe education is the key to change. We are fortunate to live in Canada, a country where there is tremendous opportunites for women not only to work as equals, but also to take on leadership roles.”
Joan Olinik, 70, volunteer at the Perley Rideau Veterans’ Health Care Centre
“I went through the ‘60s and ‘70s when women’s rights were getting started. I still think there’s inequality. I think women have to band together and I think we need to speak and be strong.

It is very gratifying to see these results because volunteers are so essential, but also because managing and supporting that number of people is a challenge. Even greater can be the challenge of managing all of the people who want to volunteer — a number several times the number of active volunteers. In fact, interest is so great that for a number of years, the OHS has recruited volunteers pretty much the same way staff is recruited: positions are posted, candidates submit applications, are interviewed, then oriented and trained before being placed. Of course, not all positions are as sought-after as others. In particular, finding experienced candidates for canine enrichment, Brightening Lives Animal Visits, grooming and Outreach canvassing to promote the OHS Mobile Spay Neuter Services Program has proven to be a challenge. And maintaining enough foster families to care for animals in their homes means there is almost always a need, especially in the summer months. If you want to join the happy group of often unsung heroes that are changing the lives of animals and people in our community, check out all of the positions available at www.ottawahumane.ca/volunteering.

The Ottawa Humane Society’s Unsung Heroes This month the Ottawa Humane Society will be surveying its volunteers. And it is a pretty big deal because at any given time, the OHS has about 800 active volunteers. The OHS would grind to a halt without them. It turns out OHS volunteers are a pretty happy bunch. Last year, 87 per cent rated their overall volunteer experience as either very good or excellent. A whopping 92 per cent felt they were “always” or “usually” supported by the staff they work with. Close to the same percentage of volunteers felt they were usually or always appreciated.

A truly Canadian voice silenced Stuart McLean of CBC radio’s Vinyl Café was a Canadian superstar. And what did he do? He simply told stories. Yes, famous and beloved across the country, Stuart gained his fame by telling us stories about Dave, owner of a second-hand record store, his wife Morley and their children, Sam and Stephanie. It was a combination of Stuart’s unique storytelling technique combined with the universal appeal of the stories themselves that led to his success. You only had to hear his voice to know you were in for a treat. He had a mischievous twinkle in this voice at times, a sound that made you nervously laugh in anticipation of what was coming. His stories would hold his audience spellbound over the airwaves, with listeners embracing every word. Who can ever forget the Christmas turkey story or the snowy trip to Cape Breton or changing the location of an outlet in the kitchen and oh, so many more. How many times did each of us foresee what was going to happen, wonder why Dave did not anticipate it and then chuckle at the
outcome? History is littered with great storytellers — Shakespeare, Dickens, Jane Austen and the more modern J.K. Rowling. The American humourist and folksy raconteur Will Rogers was one who perhaps foreshadowed Stuart in some respects. And don’t forget the Ottawa Valley’s own Mary Cook among our engaging storytellers. But Stuart seemed to take storytelling to a new level. It was not hard to identify with those who sang his praises following his unexpected death from cancer. His stories spoke to people. They taught us the importance of the unimportant. They showed us that the world is a good place. All this was true and all were reasons for his popularity and success. Yes, Stuart, we will miss you and your stories. We will miss your humanity, your impeccable timing and the way you could hold our attention, waiting for that next thought to drop. You are Canada’s story, Stuart — quiet, unassuming, observant, funny, but most of all, human. Goodbye, Vinyl Café.
How do we stop drugs from getting to kids?
T
he horror of drug overdoses has moved out of the alleys of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and into the living rooms of Kanata. That has jolted a lot of people into the conversation who weren’t there before. But the conversation so far is incomplete: How to talk to kids about drugs? How to make sure that drugs to counteract overdoses are available? Most of the discussion has focused on those two points. Less discussed is another question: How do we stop the drugs from getting to the kids? That may be the most important question, in the long run, but we’ve almost stopped talking, as a society, about the law enforcement side of the drug issue. Perhaps this is an unintended consequence of the so-called “War on Drugs” — a term that dates back to the Nixon presidency in the U.S. Over

And it doesn’t look like we can do that without a massive effort to stop the importation and distribution of the illegal substances. In other words, a war on drugs. To be sure, part of the effort will involve persuading foreign governments, such as China, to crack down on producers and exporters. Also, work needs to be done to deal with the problem of the over-prescribing of opioids, because legal opioids are a serious problem, too. But there’s also a powerful need for good old-fashioned law enforcement — catch those who are manufacturing, distributing and selling illegally, sometimes online, and punish them strongly In the ongoing discussion, which has been stimulated by some courageous parents in Ottawa, we need to hear more about that.

Talking to kids about fentanyl
S
everal months ago when my eldest son was 11, he got into some trouble with a supply teacher. The teacher had asked how many people in the class would give money to a homeless person. My son was one of three out of the 26 students who didn’t raise their hands. Asked to defend himself, he replied, “I’d rather give money through the church or an organization because I wouldn’t be sure the person wouldn’t use the money to buy fentanyl.” An innocent, but wellreasoned answer. I’m sure he was haughty about it. In any event, he was asked to sit outside the class. I credit his limited understanding of fentanyl to his regular reading of Maclean’s magazine, something I’ve tried to discourage as his little mind develops. What he missed, of course, is that fentanyl isn’t merely a problem “on the streets.”
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Last year, hundreds of people in Western Canada died of opioid or fentanyl overdose, a tragic pattern that has the potential to repeat itself across the country. Unlike typical street drugs, fentanyl has its roots in the pharmaceutical world, a powerful painkiller that’s been prescribed for post-surgical patients for nearly two decades. The drug has found its way underground, with many illegal dealers lacing other drugs with the deadly opioid. In many cases, however, those who get high or overdose on fentanyl aren’t even aware they’re taking the drug. They may even believe they’re taking something legal. It’s horrifying to think of
the complexities of potential exposure to this drug. But parents cannot stick their heads in the sand. Anyone who’s ever been a teenager, is a parent to a teenager or has encountered one knows that adolescents don’t like being told what to do. It’s just one of the reasons why it’s important to incorporate the subject of drugs into family discussions before the kids are likely to be exposed. Lecturing kids or frightening them into understanding that all drugs are bad and to be avoided is a no-go, especially with fentanyl, which doesn’t seem to fall into any black and white category of good versus bad. I took my chance when my younger son, now 10, was asking if he could take some Advil for a minor back strain he was feeling after a rigorous gym class. See ONLY, page 11

Only time will tell if the message gets through Continued from page 9
There he was, climbing on the kitchen counter, to reach the high shelf where we keep vitamins and other seemingly harmless overthe-counter drugs, when I stopped him in his tracks. “You need to let me get that for you,” I said bluntly. “It’s important that you don’t help yourself to medicine, not even vitamins.” That was my opener. Were they aware that two young girls had died in Ottawa this week? Not knowing the full circumstances surrounding the drug deaths, I explained that sometimes kids are taking things from friends or others that they believe to be relatively harmless pain killers or even candy,
not realizing they are laced with a deadly drug. I turned the conversation to them. Had they heard anything about this? Did they have any feelings about drugs? “Some kids in my class can’t eat peanuts or eggs because they will break out in rash or they can’t breathe,” said my younger son. It was a decent metaphor. “That’s right,” I said. “For the same reasons their parents warn them not to eat foods unless they know the contents, you should avoid taking any medicines or small candies from friends or strangers. It’s important, even as you get older, that you don’t take these things without checking with us.” I wanted them to know
that I love them a lot. I wanted them to know that there will be many times in their adolescent years that people will try to pressure them in different ways and they have to try to be strong in their convictions and trust in their decisions. I walked away from the discussion feeling unsure. Did I tell them enough? Too much? At the end of the day, however, this is the beginning of a decade-long conversation about drugs. The real challenge will be the tricky push-pull of eventually parenting teenagers and hoping, praying that I’ve given them enough grounding in the early years to help them navigate the peer pressure that is so omnipotent in the adolescent years. Only time will tell.

Chocolate beet cake is a treat BY FOODLAND ONTARIO Special to the News
Who would have thought you could add the goodness of ruby red beets to chocolate cake? The beet’s natural sweetness and moisture adds a delicious and unique flavour that perfectly pairs with chocolate, making this delectable cake tender and moist. Preparation time: 20 minutes Roasting time: 60 minutes Baking time: 50 minutes Serves 8 Ingredients 3 beets (about 1 lb/500 g) 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) baking soda 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt 3 Ontario Eggs 1/4 cup (50 mL) vegetable oil 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) packed brown sugar 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla 3/4 cup (175 mL) hot water Icing: 1 cup (250 mL) 35 per cent whipping cream 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar 1 tbsp (15 mL) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder Preparation instructions Trim both ends of beets. Wrap beets with foil and place on baking sheet. Bake in 400 F (200 C) oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until ten-
der when pierced with sharp knife. Unwrap and let beets cool slightly; slip off skins. Roughly chop and place in food processor and process until smooth. Measure out 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) of beet puree. Reduce oven to 350 F (180 C). Spray nine-inch (23 cm) round baking pan with cooking spray and line with circle of parchment paper. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, brown sugar, vanilla and beet puree. Add flour mixture to beet mixture alternately with hot water, beginning and ending with flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Turn cake out and let cool completely. Icing: In large chilled bowl, using electric mixer on high, whip cream, sugar and cocoa, until firm peaks form. Pipe rosettes or frost top of cake and dust with cocoa, if desired. Tips: Omit cocoa from whipping cream and add 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla for vanilla whipped cream. If you have any extra beet puree, freeze for another use.

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 A positive reaction to a stressful situation can only work in your favor, Aries. When others buckle under the pressure, you are able to deliver. Higher-ups will recognize this. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, even if you believe that your life is floating out of control, you have the ability to rein things in whenever you desire. Ask for help if you need it. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, although you may want to incorporate others’ plans into your weekly goals, this might be the time to focus solely on your own needs. Once you are set, you can assist others. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, there is no room in your life right now for lazy thinking. All of your focus must be directed at the tasks at hand because someone is relying entirely on you. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 No one can force you to share your deepest emotions if you’re not ready to do so, Leo. Wait until the time is right to bare any secrets. You may have romantic surprises. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, resist the temptation to give into impulses, analyzing and giving careful thought to your ideas instead. You have an entire week to work things out.
