Tweaks approved for light rail plan Revised route runs through Richmond Road strip mall Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

Some tweaks to second stage of city’s light rail plan hopefully smooth

concerns over the 1.2-kilometre western leg of the route from Dominion to Cleary Station. Instead of tunnelling under the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, which the church members spent nearly a year fighting against, the new plan would run through a strip mall at 747 Richmond Rd.

LRT route changes add cost savings Continued from page 1

But now the property owners and the neighbours are being the squeaky wheels, citing concerns about noise and vibrations during construction.

Randy Gordon, who spoke on behalf of the residents at 727 Richmond Rd., said that it’s been hard to determine what’s happening. Gordon said he’d like residents to be part of a working group on the project, and said there’s been a lack

of consistency, which makes it difficult to determine what’s happening. The rationale for the change is that the new station would front on to Richmond Road, which would make it more accessible and visible for cyclists and pedestrians.

developing the property to be a high density residential and commercial development. “The people that would have been living there and using LRT are now not going to be there,” she said. CHANGES TO THE EAST

Staff proposed changes to the route around Blair Road that would save the city between $4 and $5 million. The proposal includes a new LRT track that would run in tandem with the future Cumberland Transitway, rather than three tunnels below Blair and two Highway 174 ramps. Changes to Montreal station could save $12 million, staff said in the report to committee, by shifting the track to the median, rather than a raised track over Montreal Road and Highway 174. The station would be just above Montreal Road. Council will vote on the proposed changes on May 11. If approved construction would start in 2018. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor encouraged the public to come to a June 4 consult on Richmond Road complete street connectivity study.

Chris Swail, the project manager of the second phase of the LRT, said measures will be in place to ensure the neighbours won’t hear the day-to-day operations of the train and that it won’t impact on their enjoyment of their own property. Charles Davies, president of the building at 75 Cleary Ave., asked the city to examine options for track separation to keep it as far from the building as possible. He also said he wanted the best vibration technologies in use near the building and extra oversight at rails that have tight curves near the building. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said the project will have the highest standard everywhere on the route. Mary Flynn-Guglietti, the lawyer representing the owners of 747 Richmond Rd., said that she doesn’t know if four equals one, when it comes to expropriation. She said the staff argument that it would be better to expropriate one property instead of the four the other route called for may not be a better deal. She said the owner planned on

Standing room only at Holocaust Commemoration Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

It was standing room only as Robbie Waisman told his story about living in Buchenwald, a concentration camp in Germany, when he was only 11. With ambassadors and other survivors in the crowd you could have heard a pin drop as Waisman told the group about life before the Holocaust, during and after. He was the keynote speaker at the Jewish Community’s annual Holocaust Commemoration at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on May 3. “Imagine being a 14-yearold boy. Imagine having been in hell and back,” Waisman said to open his address. “Being hungry, starved, emotionally exhausted, physically weakened and deprived of every human emotion. Being so brutalized and dehumanized that you begin to believe you are no longer human and in spite of it all, never lost hope of being reunited with family.”

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

Holocaust survivor Robbie Waisman, who was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp at age 11, shares his story with a packed room at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on May 3. Waisman was born in Skarszysko, Poland, about two hours south of Warsaw, in 1931. He was the youngest of six – with four brothers and one sister. Only he and his sister survived the Holocaust.

“There was no place for thoughts and feelings, we existed for the moment and every effort was made to survive,” he said, not realizing the home he longed for was no more and the family he

loved “had been brutally murdered.” Of his memories, Waisman said some are good, others horrific. Waisman was the youngest of his brothers and sister. “It was wonderful. I was spoiled and very much loved – I took advantage of it,” he said to soft chuckles throughout the room. He remembers the joys of Fridays and wishing he were older to join his siblings in their adventures. “Those impressions are profound and everlasting.” Waisman confessed to the crowd he had a crush on his brother’s girlfriend. “I was eight years old and in love with her,” he said to laughs. Then in 1939, when the war broke out, everything changed drastically. Waisman went from a ghetto to a munitions factory with his father and two older brothers. One brother contracted typhoid fever and could no longer work. He was loaded onto a truck by Nazi soldiers.

“Our eyes met,” Waisman said, adding he moved to run to his brother, but someone held him back. “Never will I forget the love and tenderness I felt for my brother at that particular moment. “He knew as our eyes met that I shouldn’t be with him. It meant certain death and he knew it.” Waisman said he will never forget the crackling sound of machine gun fire or his feeling of devastation as he watched the truck return empty. In the munitions factory, his father worked the opposite 12-hour shift and Waisman would see him in passing and spend time with him on Sun-

days – the only day they did not work. “After my brother’s death, that first Sunday I looked at my dad and I noticed a broken man, completely dejected, the change was so drastic. I could not believe my eyes,” he said. “The strength that was always there was gone.” Waisman later learned his father knew his mother was killed in the gas chamber at the Treblinka concentration camp, located in Poland. A few days later, Waisman didn’t see his father between shifts. See CONCENTRATION, page 6

City on the road to using photo radar after committee vote Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee set the wheels in motion on May 4 for a photo radar program that will enforce speed limits in some school zones. The motion, originally the brainchild of River Coun. Riley Brockington, will petition the province for the power to use photo radar and reduce the speed limit of some residential roads. The motion gives ward councillors the option to request radar be used in specific neighbourhoods, and reduce the speed of residential roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40. Just before the committee meeting, Mayor Jim Watson, who crafted the original motion with committee chair Coun. Keith Egli, sent out a memo in support of photo radar technology. The only caveat was that it be used in school zones and rev-

enue collected through fines be put in a special account to be used for “road safety” measures. “I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale roll-out of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,” Watson wrote in the memo. “Or for those who are concerned with the tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.” Despite the fact that the motion – along with an amendment from Osgoode Coun. George Darouze that asks the province for the power to ticket out-of-province drivers for infractions related to photo radar – passed unanimously, debate lasted five hours. Brockington, who doesn’t sit on the transportation committee, said he realizes the issue is a contentious one, but wants the city to start cracking down on speeding. “It’s about a basic right to safety,” he said. “I will force this city to have

a conversation about speeding and what we are going to do about it.” Chelsey Wynne, who spoke on behalf of the Blackburn Community Association, said her area fears for the safety of their kids, who attend schools off of busy Innes Road. Wynne said many parents worry about kids walking to school, because of the high speeds of drivers. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said Wynne’s example just highlighted the problem. “Parents don’t want their kids walking, so they drive them, creating this self-perpetuating cycle,” he said. “We have to deal with the speeding if we are going to improve the situation.” Many of those who spoke at the meeting felt the pilot program didn’t go far enough. Kevin O’Donnell, from Kitchissippi Ward, said he’ll take what’s being offered if it moves the issue forward. O’Donnell said he remembers a time when he road to Montreal in

the family van without a seat belt. He said we wouldn’t think of doing that today, and he hopes to one day look back and say “remember when we used to go 70 (km per hour) in a 40 zone?” Michael Powell, from Safe Streets Ottawa, said using photo radar isn’t re-inventing the wheel, as other jurisdictions have already used the technology. Powell said the intersection of Booth Street and Gladstone Drive has two schools, daycares and a church. Despite this, people are going significantly above the speed limit. A speed board installed in 2012 showed that 56 per cent of drivers went over the posted limit. Julianne Vogt, from the Ottawa Safety Council – which is responsible for staffing the city’s adult crossing guards and the heads of the walking school bus program, said crossing guards are the eyes on the city’s roadways. “They know speed is an issue,”

she said, adding the organization has “a lot of little feet to protect.” A staff report, presented by the manager of traffic services, said Quebec – which has photo radar across the province – has seen compliance with the posted speed limit catapult to 85 per cent from 40 where the radars are being used. Phil Landry said it will take a year for city staff to develop a plan for the pilot project once the approvals are in place. He added it would take another two years for staff to have the metrics from the program to determine the level of success. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt expressed concern about signage and potential reallocation of police officers as a result of the technology. “I wouldn’t want to see this take the place of officers on the roads,” Moffatt said, “because it’s about changing behaviours.” Scott Nystedt, a superintendent with Ottawa police, said there are no plans to reduce the number of officers. He said photo radar would simply be one tool the city could use to reduce speeds. Douglas Kirkland, a former police officer, said that radars should be implemented across the city, not just in select wards, otherwise speeders will gravitate to the areas they know are not being monitored. “It’s about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible,” he said. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, applauded the decision. “I commend the City of Ottawa for taking the bold step today to help improve road safety in our community,” Naqvi stated in a press release. “Research proves that lower speed limits and increased enforcement in residential areas result in fewer pedestrian and cyclist deaths, and a safer community for everyone.” Naqvi said in the release that he will advocate for the legislative changes necessary for the City of Ottawa to move forward on a pilot project.

Federal government gives $3.5 million for further development of immunization app

Those yellow immunization cards could be a thing of the past as a local doctor works on expanding a mobile app so parents and guardians can keep better track of their child’s vaccinations. Dr. Kumanan Wilson, a senior scientist and internal medicine specialist at Ottawa Hospital and a professor at the University of Ottawa, and his team have received $3.5 million over three years from the federal government to further develop ImmunizeCA, the mobile app. It was first launched in 2014, but the new funding will help create a larger digital platform, including a webbased platform with login from personal computers, secure sharing of information between family members, the ability to integrate with provincial records, customized schedules and information

for patients with health concerns and catch-up schedules for new Canadians. “We are going to be making it for everyone, everywhere,” Wilson said. That includes making the platform accessible for all and having the information backed up, so it can be available to multiple users. “It’s no longer just an app; it’s an app integrated into the system.” Since the app’s launch, it has been downloaded more than 140,000 times. The goal at this time is to have 500,000 family accounts. The idea first came out of a conversation Wilson had with a mother in a park. She wondered why — when she can do all of her banking online — she couldn’t also have a yellow card for her child on her smartphone. “If you have two or three kids and you have two or three cards for each kid then it starts becoming difficult,” Wilson said.

Dr. Kumanan Wilson, a senior scientist and internal medicine specialist at the Ottawa Hospital and professor at the University of Ottawa, shows off ImmunizeCA, a mobile application that helps track a patient’s immunizations. The idea grew from there, initially with an Ontario pilot project, and then it grew to a nationwide application. “Our ultimate goal is also to integrate this into the health system, through con-

sent-based secure transmission from the app to public health officials and also to allow public health officials to communicate back through the app,” Wilson said. Public health could let

parents know about outbreaks, adverse reactions to vaccinations or changes to immunization schedules, for example. A pilot project has begun locally where information from the app, with the user’s consent, flows to public health. “We are learning a lot through the process about enhancements and changes we need to make to get that data more accurate for public health.” Having more accurate data would help scientists and researchers better report Ottawa’s immunization rates. Wilson said Ottawa’s rates

appear low, because information isn’t curated in one place and relies on self-reporting. “We need better information,” Wilson said. “If you look at the official data, it looks like the rates are terrible. Obviously they are not because we are not seeing these disease outbreaks. I think they are high enough to maintain herd immunity, but we don’t know.” He will also be doing research on how and if app and online portal impact the system. “Our goal was always to develop something to help individuals, but in the process we realized we can also help the system.”

Sharing the pain of Holocaust helps survivor feel better Continued from page 3

“I often wondered how he died. Did he run up to the electric fence like so many did who could no longer tolerate the pain of it all? Was he simply shot when he didn’t walk fast enough or did he die of a broken heart?” he said softly. “My father believed in humanity – how devastated all this must have been to him.” He considers April 11, the day the camp was liberated, his birthday. “I had never seen a black man before. I had been tormented by white men, so I was positive they were angels,” Waisman said of his liberators. At the time the camp was liberated, the

enormity of the Holocaust wasn’t known. Waisman kept his story a secret for more than 35 years, but when teachers started telling their students the Holocaust never happened, he knew he had to share his story. Since then, he’s spoken to thousands of people about his personal experience. After the Holocaust, Waisman said, leaders and citizens pledged it would “never happen again.” “Only if we act upon them, only then do these words become meaningful. Seventy-one years after my liberation the promise of never again, became again and again,” he said. “There are a number of

situations that have tested the world’s resolve in Cambodia and the former Yugoslavia, in Rwanda and Darfur – so many places still all over the world that people continue to be victims of genocide.” But when he speaks at schools he sees hope. “I’m sure you already know so much about the horrors of the Holocaust and other genocides. What can I add to your knowledge? “I learned a child can grow old overnight. That warm memories of a successful early life can sustain you and that staying silent after deep wounds internalizes the injury and then it feels better to share the pain with others,” Waisman said.

Organizers of Italian Week this year are hoping to attract a younger generation of attendees with a more vibrant and exciting lineup of events and entertainment. The 42nd annual event, taking place June 9 to 19, is incorporating the traditional appeal of the festival with some modern flare, said the event’s president Tony Mariani. “We want to get the second, third and fourth generations to come,” Mariani said. “We have to do something to attract them.” So organizers have invited Louis Prima Jr., son of Las Vegas performer Louis Prima, and his band to perform on June 17 and 18, as well as DJ Tatiana, an electronic dance DJ from Denver, Colo. “It’s not oom pah pah, it’s dance music,” Mariani said of the entertainment lineup for this year’s event in June. That will help create a street and dance festival atmosphere along Preston Street, said Mariani. The theme of the festival this year is “being Italian.” Last year, organizers surveyed those attending the festival to find out why they were taking part in the festivities. The top four reasons were tradition, the food and patio atmosphere, car parade and seeing friends. Mariani said that was kept in mind when revamping the festival for this year. Italian Week starts June 9 with a flag-raising ceremony at city hall and a reception. The event kicks off on Preston Street on June 10 with a launch party gala and dance party at Sala San Marco, at 215 Preston St. The same night, Frank Spadone, a Toronto-based comedian, takes the stage at Absolute Comedy. Chef David Rocco, who is the creator of David Rocco’s Dolce Vita, a TV series featuring Italian cuisine, will be in the city for Italian Week to host an exclusive menu of food and wine pairings on June 16 at Divino Wine Studio. There will be a soccer tour-

nament June 11 and June 12, and an outdoor mass at St. Anthony’s Church on June 12. Three PaintNite events, June 13, 14, and 15, will be held at DiVino Wine Studio, Heart and Crown and Caffè La Grotta.

We want to get the second, third and fourth generations to come. ITALIAN WEEK PRESIDENT TONY MARIANI

For the grand finale weekend, June 17-19, Preston Street will be closed from Pamilla Street to Poplar Street for Italian Week favourites – the Ferrari Festival and the Italian car parade. There will also be children’s attractions, movies, Father’s Day activities, music, food and more. College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli was at the lineup

announcement on May 4 to wish the festival luck in its new approach. “Preston Street is already a popular spot in Ottawa, but during the festival it will be even more dynamic with activities, entertainment, more food and sounds of Italian music,” Chiarelli said. “Italian Week is one of those annual events in the city that nobody wants to miss.” Mariani said the festival attracts between 100,000 and 150,000 people each year. “They wanted something new and vibrant, so we are bringing something more alive, more with it,” Mariani said of this year’s festival. “I’m very excited,” he said. “This is my passion, this is my love.” Italian Week is still looking for volunteers and information can be found online.

Open your wallet: photo radar is coming

ho would argue about the safety of kids? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a no-brainer, and no one would dare. Bravo to those who want to introduce the money machine known as photo radar to the streets of Ottawa. By cracking open the door to photo radar by using the old standby â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we must do it to save the kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee has tapped the gas and surged toward green-lighting photo radar as a traffic enforcement tool. On May 4, the committee recommended council ask the province for permission to use photo radar. At this point photo radar in Ottawa is being called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pilot projectâ&#x20AC;? and would only be used in school zones. And any revenue generated would be dedicated to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;road safetyâ&#x20AC;? fund. The issue was slated to go to council on May 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale rollout of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Jim Watson wrote in a memo in support of taking this route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or for those who are concerned with the

tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.â&#x20AC;? Those hesitant, concerned people once seemed to include Watson. But the safety of kids is the issue now, not an enforcement tool that does absolutely nothing to stop a speeding driver from motoring along on their merry way. Photo radar is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bill is in the mailâ&#x20AC;? traffic enforcement option. The city still needs the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval to move forward with its photo radar scheme, but it does have local MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, in its corner. Yes, the former Mike Harris government did cancel photo radar use in the past, but that was a rare instance of government giving up a revenue stream. And yes, if photo radar returns, keeping it to school zones would seem the least objectionable way to go. The question is do you really trust a government to get its hands on a revenue tool, and stick to the narrow application of that tool? History suggests the answer to that is a lot different than what we are hearing from city hall these days.

A tip of the hat to servers

very once in a while a major restaurant in Canada or the U.S. announces that it is abolishing tipping. There inevitably follows a widespread discussion in the news media in which various people weigh in on the evils of tipping and why it should be abolished. No one has made a convincing case yet. Among the arguments you hear are these: â&#x20AC;˘ Tipping doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen in other jobs. â&#x20AC;˘ Tipping doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen in many foreign countries. â&#x20AC;˘ Tipping the server is unfair to other restaurant employees, such as cooks, who work hard but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive tips. â&#x20AC;˘ The tips donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the server anyway, but are scattered about to cover other restaurant

abolish tipping. The valid reason to abolish tipping will come when servers are paid a decent wage and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to rely on tips to bring their incomes to a livable level. Hardly anyone would argue that we are there yet. Wages are low, held down, in some cases by the existence of tips. But it does not logically follow that abolishing tipping would cause wages to go up, does it? And while it is certainly true in some cases that the entirety of a tip does not reach the person for which it was intended, it is next to impossible to rectify that situation. Just think what it would take to enforce that. While some look wistfully to other countries, such as in Europe, that do not have tipping, they should look carefully too. Serving has a higher status there than here, and servers are paid better.

ropean model, we have to adopt the entire European model, which means higher wages. Higher wages for servers probably means, and should mean, higher wages for other restaurant employees. In turn, these mean higher prices on the menu. Will the people who want to abolish tipping eagerly accept that? It would be good if they did. Having to rely on tips is not a pleasant situation for people in the serving professions. But having to get by without them is even less pleasant, unless their job pays them more money. It is not a dilemma that is easily resolved. A drastic change in attitudes on the part of owners is called for. Maybe it will come. There are signs that it will.

ers. When you think about it, the consumers, the people at the table, have the least at stake in this dispute. It does not make a huge impact on our lives whether we add a few dollars to a bill or not. So why are some of us getting so self-righteous about it? Just leave the tip and move on.

Living in the moment

hat day is it? asked Winnie the Pooh. “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh (A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh). When it comes to living in the moment, which is apparently the secret to happiness,

I’m crap at it. I nostalgically live in the past one moment, and worrying look to the future the next. Most mornings when I wake, I remember all the things I failed to accomplish yesterday toward next week’s goal. My husband frequently bemoans the fact that I’m

already planning the next family meal, just as he’s “sitting down to enjoy this one”. According to ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu, “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse My loyal readers know I can’t meditate. But I have discovered a way to be more present. It comes in the form of my three-year-old daughter. She wakes up nearly every morning with the same, happy call: “I’m awake!!” With those two words, she’s simultaneously announcing her presence to us and welcoming the day, fresh and new. She’s not lamenting unfinished business from yesterday, nor fretting over what’s to come. So present is she that “last year” and “yesterday” mean the same thing to her – her brain has matured just enough to let her know those words mean “already happened, so let’s move onto the now.” If someone mentions an upcoming trip, she says, “well, we’re not doing that today”

When it comes to living in the moment, which is apparently the secret to happiness, I’m crap at it. clothes and announced, “I’m ready!” When we noted that it was a trip in the future, she turned to her brothers and said grumpily, “we’re not going to Scotland today; we’re just having dinner.” The future made her un-

happy. But the present keeps her pretty mellow. Breakfast is frustratingly slow sometimes, a tedious process if we’re in a hurry. But for my daughter, it’s a chance to savour each bite. It doesn’t matter if it’s instant oatmeal or French crepes, she yumming and oohing over every morsel. A single walk down the block with this kid requires a 30-minute round trip, and not because she’s shuffling her feet. She wants to touch every plant, say hello to every neighbour. Trick or treating on Halloween required gargantuan effort on my part to pry her away from the neighbours’ doors: “I like your costume,” she’d say. “And, by the way, how is your mother?” Earlier this month, she paused to admire the field of blooming, yellow dandelions beside the rundown corner store. “Aren’t the flowers beautiful, Mommy?” And she picks them, slowly and carefully, observing the bee on one, an ant on another.

And unlike me, the one whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning my next supper while eating this one (probably too quickly), my daughter has taken to saying grace and pausing before she eats. Her prayer usually goes like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear God. Thank you for the nice food. Thank you for the nice family. Please help us not to cry or fight and to sleep well. Amen. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eat!â&#x20AC;? Oh, the simplicity. Of course, all this drives her brothers nuts. My sons, in all their pre-teen glory, no longer share the ability to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just beâ&#x20AC;? like they used to. I wonder when they lost it. When did mornings become grumpy? When did a stroll in the park halt to satisfy their senses? I feel nostalgic for a time when they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have bad memories from yesterday or worries about tomorrow. But perhaps they should simply spend more time with their little sister. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m with my three-year-old, life inevitably slows down. And it is truly a wonderful feeling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably as close to happiness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or as Lao-Tzu said â&#x20AC;&#x153;peaceâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as one can get.

The first Monday in May is dedicated to Music Monday. Schools, musicians and artists all across Canada gather together to sing and make music. At the same time that day everyone participating will sing the Music Monday anthem We Are One. Music Monday is dedicated to raising awareness for music and music education.

400 singing voices join for 12th annual Music Monday Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

About 400 voices filled the Woodroffe High School gymnasium for Music Monday, on May 2. The event was held for the first time in Ottawa West and about 70 per cent of the students had never participated before. “We are incredibly thrilled to be bringing Music Monday to Ottawa’s west end,” said Genevieve Cimon, director of music education and community engagement for the National Arts Centre.

This is the 12th year the National Arts Centre joined with the Coalition for Music Education along with other community members in the region and across the country to highlight the importance of learning music. “They’ve never participated in this. It is so exciting for us to be working with these schools.” The massed choir included students from D. Roy Kennedy Public School, Dr. F.J. McDonald Catholic School, Charlotte-Lemieux French public elementary school,

Séraphin-Marion French public elementary school, Omer-Deslauriers French public secondary school, Henry Larsen Public School, Regina Street Public School, St. Rose of Lima Catholic School and Woodroffe High School. Cimon said many of the schools they work with have no formal music program, so bringing Music Monday to them is an opportunity for students to gain valuable skills and confidence in a new way.

Music Monday comes to west-end schools for the first time Continued from page 15

“We talk about how important sports is for building leadership and teamwork and healthy living and we

would argue that music education is just as important – that music is a universal language. It is the best way of integrating kids from all over in Ottawa’s west end,”

Cimon said. “What better way for them to share a beautiful moment than through music and through song or through playing an instrument.”

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

And since some schools don’t have music programs, it helps students who may not be athletically or academically inclined try a new niche. “It’s really fun to see young people suddenly thrive and shine and wake up in class. We’ve heard that many times from teachers,” she said. Conductor of the mass choir, Jackie Hawley, who visits all of the schools to host workshops before the event and support teachers in preparing students, sees that sparkle in her students’ eyes first hand. “The best part of doing this is making sure that we have all our kids in schools singing and going into the schools and seeing kids singing is beautiful. Everyone is smiling everyone is happy it doesn’t cost anything to sing. This is why we need this in our schools,” said Hawley. The choir sang Will You Listen by Shireen AbuKhadr and Lori Dolloff, a

bilingual arrangement of the Music Monday anthem We are One by Connor Ross, as well as Laura Hawley’s Live Love Share.

What better way for them to share a beautiful moment than through music and through song or through playing an instrument. DIRECTOR OF MUSIC EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR THE NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE GENEVIEVE CIMON

According to a press release, Music Monday was also a component of a new six-week pilot project with the National Arts Centre, the city and the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa and schools in the Foster Farm, Michele Heights, Bayshore and Brittania neighbourhoods. Jennifer Baca, director of advancement for the Boys

and Girls Club of Ottawa said the NAC hosted a workshop with the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, and it also donated a pack of tickets for a future performance. “As far as music goes, it’s always the first thing that goes out of schools, so it’s really important and we are really grateful the NAC does see those gaps and tries to fill the need in the community,” said Baca. “So we are very excited to have the workshop here and to have our kids be able to participate in that and work with musicians and have that one on one.” And there’s an added benefit to providing free tickets to the kids at the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, she said. “A lot of our kids would never be able to afford a ticket to go or would never have the opportunity to go to the National Arts Centre. By them providing us with free tickets, it allows them the opportunity to do that.”

Notice of Intention to Designate

WHAT IS YOUR

The City of Ottawa on May 11, 2016 established its intention to designate Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Description of Property Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue is a one-and-one-half-storey stone house constructed between 1840 and 1850 in City View in former Nepean Township. Cultural Heritage Value Kilmorie has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Nepean Township and with Confederation Poet William Wilfred Campbell and for its design value as an example of a 19th century vernacular stone house. Kilmorie’s historical value lies in its association with the early development of City View in former Nepean Township. Constructed at some point between 1840 and 1850 as a farmhouse for William Scott, who emigrated from Ireland to Upper Canada in 1819 as part of a wave of Irish Protestants who settled in Nepean Township in the 19th century, Kilmorie serves as a reminder of the area’s agricultural history. Kilmorie is also associated with William Wilfred Campbell, one of the Confederation Poets, a group of poets born in the 1860s who became popular in Canada at the end of the 19th century. Campbell purchased Kilmorie in 1914 and lived there until his death in 1918. Kilmorie has design value as an example of the vernacular stone buildings constructed in the classical tradition in the Ottawa area in the early-to-mid 19th century. Exemplifying its type, Kilmorie is constructed of limestone, has a gable roof with returned eaves and symmetrical facades. The front facade is highlighted by a tripartite window with decorative fanlight in the central gable. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the vobjection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report. For more information please contact: Lesley Collins, MCIP RPP, Heritage Planner II City of Ottawa Planning and Growth Management Department 110, Laurier Ave. West, Fourth Floor Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 21586 E-mail: lesley.collins@ottawa.ca 18

Councillor wants less parking in 900 Albert St. proposal Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

A proposal for 900 Albert St. has its ward councillor concerned the developer might be trying to have it both ways, using LRT to justify density and density to justify increased parking. The developer, Trinity Development Group, is proposing to build a mixed-use development with 19,800 square metres of commercial space and 1,400 residential units. The lot is located at the north-west corner of Albert Street and City Centre Avenue, and is adjacent to the future LRT Bayview Station where the Confederation Line and Trillium Line will intersect. To fit it all in, the developer is proposing two 55-storey towers with commercial and parking in the first five storeys and residential above.

Somerset ward Coun. Catherine McKenney said in an interview, that although the development is in the early stages, she has some concerns and a bit of a wish list for the project. “I really do feel that there is too much parking that is proposed,” McKenney said. “To go up that high and put in that kind of density, you can’t use the LRT as the justification for that and then use that height to justify parking,” she said. She also doesn’t want the site to be used for spill over for other areas, such as LeBreton Flats when it’s developed. According to Douglas James, the city’s program manager of development review, Trinity is also pursuing air rights over the O-Train corridor. If that is granted, the entire development would include four towers with approximately 2,000 residential units, office space and 54,000

square metres of commercial space. McKenney feels the towers could be lowered and the base of the development be larger. “Does it need to be four, 55-storey buildings? Probably not. We’ll be looking for some diversity there and something that fits into the neighbourhood better,” she said. McKenney also wants to see an affordable housing component and strong pedestrian and cycling links throughout the development to complement what’s happening at street level . “I’m confident that there is some room for some bargaining with the community,” McKenney said. “Trinity development has already had one public meeting with residents, so they are listening to residents, and there will be other meetings with the community associations and public meetings.” McKenney is hoping to hear from residents about what they’d like to see for the property. So far, citizens who have contacted her are concerned about connectivity, as well as having community spaces and public amenities. “If you want families to live downtown, you have to provide the space and amenities for their kids. If you

want seniors to walk, people to cycle to work that all has to be part of any large-scale development like this one.” McKenney said the local Plant Pool is bursting at the seams and green space and amenities need to be part of the plan. “We cannot put in all the people we are planning to put here at Preston/Carling area, eventually LeBreton Flats, and not add to our recreation space, to our green space. We have to start talking seriously with developers about providing that community amenity space,” McKenney said. The city has been working on the file since early 2015. In 2012, the city approved a zoning bylaw amendment for a mixed-use development with 33-storey towers, with a provision to address servicing requirements. According to the city, the developer still needs the city to approve amendments to the Bayview Station District Secondary Plan to permit the 55-storey towers, as the maximum set out is 30 storeys. A zoning amendment is also required. The application is posted on Ottawa.ca for review and residents are welcome to comment on the proposal.

Algonquin College and Siemens Canada team up on new campus power plant Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Algonquin College has gained some firepower to go with its new energy management program, in the form of a new on-campus power plant and a partnership with Siemens Canada. The cogeneration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or combined heat and power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plant became operational on April 22. Using natural gas, it can generate two megawatts of power to cover the Woodroffe campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most basic power needs, while its waste heat can help warm campus buildings during cold months, and can be converted to cool air during warm months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The terminology is referred to as behind-the-meter generation,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Schonewille, Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of physical resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So meaning all the power that we produce we are consuming locally.â&#x20AC;? Installed by energy engineering firm Siemens and maintained by Algonquin College maintenance staff, the plant occupies an 18-by20-metre space in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very unique relationship, rather unprecedented, between a global company like Siemens and a post-secondary institution,â&#x20AC;? Schonewille said. Once paired with a future energy interpretive centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a learning facility designed to complement the plant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it will also create opportunities for hands-on, applied learning experiences for students in the new graduate program and similar programs already offered by the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students will be able to physically see the equipment,â&#x20AC;? Schonewille said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then through this interpretive centre theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see real-time outputs of energy being produced and energy usage across the campus. This is brand new, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re developing the curriculum for that now.â&#x20AC;? Still in the development stage, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new one-year energy management graduate certificate program will launch in September 2017. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to use practical training to teach students fundamentals of the energy sector including power generation, distribution and consumption, energy measurement, how to design and implement energy projects, conservation, generation and supply and risk management. According to the college, graduates of the program could go on to become energy management

officers, energy market and policy analysts, energy conservation engineers and project managers. While college staff is responsible for developing the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum, Siemens Canada will take on an arms-length role, supplying the venue for hands-on learning, and potentially benefiting from the training of future energy engineers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When entities like Algonquin College produce students who are trained, experienced and skilled to enter the workforce, with a toolbox thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already complete, it benefits us,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Carcasole, Siemensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; national building performance and sustainability sales manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting graduates who are highly trained and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared to make a contribution much soon-

er. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a feedback loop.â&#x20AC;? The plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening signals the third phase of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guaranteed energy savings contract with Siemens, a 20-year, multimilliondollar partnership intended to result in efficiency and sustainability retrofits to the Ottawa campus. During a ceremony on April 22, the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening day, Siemens and the college also signed a new memorandum of understanding that will steer the educational partnership between the two as it continues to develop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project is a game-changer in our efforts to maintain our facilities, control our costs, and expand the learning opportunities for our students,â&#x20AC;? said college president Cheryl Jensen in a news release.

This spring has been busy across the school board as students work towards completing their assignments and trustees prepare a budget for the 201617 school year. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board continues to be challenged as the Provincial Government claims that education is a priority but asks us to cut over $8.6 million from our budget. We will do our best to keep our programs strong despite these pressures to reduce staff. The Secondary School Review in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West End: The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is beginning the process of a secondary school review that will first be initiated in the west end (including Bay Ward). This will examine programs for our high schools, and will involve public consultations. The big news is that there will be a second International Baccalaureate program put into a west end high school. This will double our capacity in the IB program that currently only operates out of Colonel By High School in the east end of Ottawa. The OCDSB is still seeking feedback from all parents, students, staff, community members, and the general public on the overall review. The secondary school review would be of interest to elementary parents as well as it will be discussing the eventual elimination of middle school. Going forward the goal will be to work towards two types of configurations of schools, Kindergarten to Grade 8 and Grade 9 to 12 schools or Kindergarten to Grade 6 and Grade 7 to 12 schools. Would you like to express an opinion? Check out the OCDSB website to participate in the electronic survey. So Many Great Events in OCDSB Schools Around Bay Ward!

This event draws in hundreds from the community to take part in various activities (bike parade, book sale, baked goods, BBQ, face painting, community booths) as well as the Lakeview Student Talent Show.

The sale runs from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm in the Woodroffe HS parking lot, rain or shine. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural event drew hundreds of visitors making it a lot of fun and a big success. There will be five food vendors and about 40 tailgaters. Tailgaters pay $10 for a double parking spot and can sell almost anything, mostly garage sale stuff.

Concussions bring NHL player home Adam Kveton Adam.Kveton@metroland.com

Like so many hockey players, competing in the NHL was Darroll Powe’s dream. Standing just 5-foot11 and never a “first line guy” by his own admission, Powe made it to pro hockey anyway – a dream come true and born of hard work and a passion for the game. He had a career playing for the Philadelphia Flyers, the Minnesota Wild and the New York Rangers, and some of their American Hockey League farm teams, from 2006 to 2015. But more frequent and worsening concussions shook

him awake and out of the dream. He returned home to Kanata to settle down and work a desk job in February. So far Powe says he doesn’t feel any fallout from the many concussions he sustained, though he notes it may be too early to tell for sure. He admits he has been lucky compared to others. Asked whether it was worth it, he said unequivocally, “One hundred per cent. I got to live my dream for five, six years. It was an amazing time. See DARROLL, page 27

Darroll Powe discusses reaching his dream and finding a new job “Would I have done things differently? I don’t know … but I got to have a great experience and I feel OK right now and hopefully that’s the case for the rest of my life. It was an awesome time while it lasted. No complaints.” MAKING IT

DARROLL POWE ue as a player who blocked shots, created shorthanded opportunities, was useful in the faceoff circle and brought energy to his team. Asked what he thinks got him to the NHL, he says, “I think I just loved it. It never feels like work when you love something … if you don’t love it you are probably not going to do the work you need to make it happen.” Despite his physical style of play, injuries were rarely a problem for Powe, except when it came to concussions. Eventually it was concussions that convinced Powe is was time to leave hockey. Though he can’t put a number on how many he has had, he says they ranged from a concussion or two in high school – which at the time he probably would have denied – to a recurring and worsening injury that kept him out of commission for months near the end of his career. “I guess my first bad one was my third game in the NHL,” said Powe. “And it was an innocent play. It was actually my linemate who went to go hit a guy and I was kind of caught in between them and the boards and went in head first, and it wasn’t fun.” That resulted in a couple weeks of sleeping it off, and an unnerving balancing game between resting long enough to be fully recovered and having a spot on the roster. “Two games into my career I was excited and wanting to get back and play and prove myself and live that dream and wondering if I’m ever going to get another opportunity,” he said. “I think that’s kind of a pattern throughout my career injury-wise is with the head stuff you’re always battling how you feel … but you have to battle getting back in the lineup and protecting your job and all that too.” Powe continued to play and continued to love the competition and

said, “Whether it be working out outside the game or playing and losing, you’ve got to see value in everything in the game. Because there are lessons you can take from every game. “And one of the things I probably didn’t do as well as I could have was just not take everything so seriously … it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun.” One of his important takeaways was giving back, he said, which he sought to do frequently. He had the opportunity to continue doing as a guest coach at Garth Brooks’s Teammates for Kids Foundation ProCamp in Stittsville in early April. “One of the most rewarding things about playing was the fact

that you could walk into a room and you know change 20 kids’ lives just by showing up and reading a book or something like that,” said Powe. “So it’s a pretty cool feeling to do that.” As for his concussions, Powe said injury is a reality of any physical sport, especially at an elite level. While the NHL and other levels of hockey continue to improve their response to it, the most pressure comes from within, he said. The bottom line is you have to be honest with yourself and feel ready to get back out on the ice. “Make sure you take care of yourself first because if you don’t take care of yourself, it’s not going to work out for you on the ice anyways,” said Powe.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

Like many Canadian kids, Powe started skating at just a few years old and soon began playing hockey. Born in Saskatoon, Powe moved to Kanata for high school, attending Earl of March Secondary School and playing for the Kanata Valley Lasers, then the Kanata Stallions when the team was renamed. Playing as a power forward, Powe was generally a third or fourth line guy, he said, but nurtured a dream of playing hockey in college. Powe said he remembers attending a post-secondary hockey game with his teammates. “That kind of sold it,” he said. “It was an amazing atmosphere and the chance to go to school and be in that atmosphere and play, that was my goal at that time.” “I was always a good student so when Princeton (University) came knocking I was thrilled and it gave me an opportunity to kind of live my dream at that point,” said Powe. “The time I got into Princeton I remember jumping up and down, high-fiving my parents. That was the biggest moment of my life at that point.” The moment wouldn’t be topped for several years when, after gaining some attention at a tryout, he was told after a warmup that his first NHL game would be that same night. It was Oct. 24, 2008. “I was never on NHL radar, I don’t think ever, even coming out of university,” said Powe. A shot at the NHL was something he hoped for but nothing he expected, until it happened. “It was surreal,” he said. “It was in New Jersey so all the guys I had played with at school, they drove up and watched and it was pretty cool.” Powe described himself as a player who “did what he had to do.” “Some guys make it, they are first line guys throughout all junior and everything and some how end up on a team. I was kind of like a third line guy no matter what team I played for really. So my role was to go out and hit guys and kill some penalties and be physical.” According to sports reports, Powe’s stats rarely reflected his val-

camaraderie of the NHL, but the concussions kept coming. “They dragged out longer and longer and symptoms kept getting worse as things went on, to the point where I spent half of my last season in a dark room or just frustrated with how I was feeling,” said Powe. “So it was time.” Then playing in the AHL for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the 2014-2015 season, Powe retired. He is now 30 years old. He and his young family returned to Kanata in February, where he took a job with Freedom 55 Financial as a financial security adviser. Transitioning from professional athlete to desk-jockey is still a bit of a challenge but Powe is enjoying the new challenge, he said. Asked what advice he might have for young hockey players who harbour the same dream he did, he

eSight donations get man closer to his goal to see again Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

When Shawn Brown went to the eSight offices in Kanata for the first time, it was both incredible and painful. The 34-year-old Barrhaven man was born with oculocutaneous albinism and has limited vision. So when he first tried on the eSight eyewear, an electronic pair of glasses that helps zoom in on images, he was really seeing for the first time. “He was literally seeing the world for the first time in his life,” said his wife, Lissa Brown. Shawn thought he was just going for a quick meeting to look at something he’d found on Google, and didn’t realize he’d actually get to put on the device. “It was phenomenal, I was overwhelmed,” said the former Carp resident. “When I stepped outside, I could actually see a bird flying.” That was the incredible

part. The painful part was the price tag. The device costs $19,500, and none of the cost is covered by insurance plans. So it’s up to the Browns to fundraise. He currently gets by with his iPad, and uses a special app to be able to film his son’s hockey games and then later zoom in to be able to see him play. The father of three would be able to be more involved in dance recitals and hockey games with eSight though, as the zoom and contrast options available will give him a near perfect view of what’s happening. He will also wear the glasses for work at the Ottawa Hospital. He was previously an orderly, but is currently working a temporary job in housekeeping. The day after he tried on the device, he set up a GoFundMe page that has raised $3,500; another $3,000 in donations have come in outside the GoFundMe. LIONS CLUB

as shopping at a brand new store where he hasn’t memorized the aisle - something he couldn’t do previously. For Shawn, he’ll be able to really see his wife and children’s faces clearly for the first time in his life. “It’s like waiting for Christmas to come,” he said. CARP FUNDRAISER BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Stittsville Lions Club president Don Redtman, left, presents Shawn Brown with a donation for $1,000 alongside Ron Armstrong, Lions club member, right, on April 28. With the help of the Stittsville Lions Club, Shawn is now $1,000 closer to his goal. The Lions made a $1,000 donation towards Shawn’s purchase at their April 27 meeting. He was presented with a large cheque after members saw a presentation about the device and what it does. “It’s people like Lions clubs and legions who are giving that gift of sight,” said Tara Bradley, clinical specialist with eSight. Bradley and Tyler Moore,

an eSight user himself, attended the Lions’ meeting on behalf of eSight’s Kanata office to explain the product. The glasses contain a pair of screens which display high quality video from a camera at the front of the glasses. The battery-powered eyewear can automatically adjust contrast, brightness and other settings to a user’s needs or preferences. Moore said he wears his set for eight to 10 hours a day and is able to complete tasks such

The fifth annual Spring Fling fundraiser at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club will also help Shawn with funding for the eyewear. “I’m so excited,” said Shawn, who graduated from West Carleton Secondary School and has lots of family and friends still living in the area. “It’ll be a good time to go have fun.” The event takes place on Saturday, May 7, and features pub food, raffles and prizes, and musical entertainment by Gail Gavan, Ransom, Mike Ryan, Jeff and Jamie McMunn, the Triple Trouble Dancers, and Colt 45 DJ

Colton Craig. The fundraiser will split the proceeds between Shawn and Jakob Ruest, a young boy with a rare condition called CDKL5. Shawn works with Jakob’s aunt at the hospital. CDKL5 (which stands for cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5) is a genetic disorder that causes seizures and difficulties breathing. The majority of those diagnosed with CDKL5 can’t talk, walk or feed themselves. Half the proceeds raised at the event will help Jakob’s family purchase a special sleep activity monitor that helps caregivers maintain awareness of symptoms. The device also records data that could help with future research. Tickets for the Spring Fling, sponsored by Wanda Clark of Clark Premiere Properties, are $20 and can be purchased by calling Clark at 613-223-3310. - With files from Jessica Cunha

Bologna a special treat whenever we visited Briscoe’s

riscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County. If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store. Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept. And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds. It was a big fat roll of bologna ... of course, we simply called it balony back then. I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker

MARY COOK Memories jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band. Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony, too.” He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it

right on the spot. And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise. Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished

We were spending too much time in the kitchen.

manded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all. “Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday school voice. “Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?” He dropped the candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me. Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine. Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the world. Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion. They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages. No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home ... without Mother seeing of course. Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that de-

• 24 stalks Ontario Asparagus, trimmed • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 1 lb (500 g) each lean ground pork and lean ground beef • 1 egg • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry breadcrumbs • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt, ground nutmeg, paprika and dry mustard • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each pepper, celery seeds and ground coriander

• 6 slices Swiss cheese, halved • 12 small burger buns PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove top two-inches (10 cm) of each asparagus spear, place asparagus tips in grill basket; set aside. Finely chop half of the remaining asparagus stalks (reserve the remaining for another use). In medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, add onion and cook until softened, about three minutes. Add chopped asparagus and cook until asparagus is bright green and softened, about two minutes. Let cool slightly. In large bowl, combine pork, beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, nutmeg, paprika, dry mustard, pepper, celery seeds, coriander, and cooled asparagus mixture. Form 1/3 cup (75 mL) mixture into small burger; repeat

Mission makes mental health a priority Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

A downtown men’s shelter is on a mission to fill the gaps in their clients’ health care needs. The Ottawa Mission announced it is now working with the Canadian Mental Health Association to enhance the mental health services at the shelter. The partnership

will add a full-time outreach worker who specializes in engaging and connecting with transient clients, such as those who frequent shelters. Jordanna Marchand, the Ottawa Mission’s coordinator of mental health services, said partnering with the Canadian Mental Health Association is an obvious thing to do. The Mission has also part-

nered with the Royal Ottawa Hospital which will offer the services of a part-time psychiatric nurse to the Mission’s mental health team. “Shelter life is very difficult,” Marchand said. “They don’t necessarily have access to the same mental health services you or I have and access is really important to getting the help you need.”

St. Mary’s Home welcomes new executive director Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

As a young woman, Kathleen Cummings was living on the streets of Vancouver’s notorious east side. Struggling with addiction, it was the help of some key individuals that allowed her to turn her life around. Now, she’s doing the same for pregnant teens as she takes over the executive director role at St. Mary’s Home in Vanier. St. Mary’s Home provides a range of programs and services for young pregnant women, young moms and dads and their children through the organization’s outreach centre and residence. “I am a person that came from being an extremely vulnerable youth, I lived on the streets of Vancouver’s east side, I lived on the streets of England. I moved from England to Vancouver at 17 to improve my life and it got

worse,” Cummings said to a small crowd at the home’s Open Doors Open Hearts event on May 5. “I feel so privileged to be a part of an organization that has created a space of empowerment and working from a hands up model than a hands out model.” It was that same type of support that helped Cummings change her life and get to a point where she was working as a street outreach worker, helping women in Vancouver to make sure their children didn’t end up with protective services. “It was a mixture of things, individuals and key people at the right time that approached me and saw I had transferrable skills and skills to be proud of,” she said. She later moved to working on changing the system, advocating against inequalities that exist. Taking the executive di-

rector position at St. Mary’s Home, Cummings said she feels as if she’s gone full circle. “Doing this work is my passion.” Cummings’ first day on the job was April 11, and for now, her goal is to listen and learn from staff about what’s needed at St. Mary’s Home. “I’ll respond to priorities as I learn about them,” she said, adding funding will always be a challenge. It is a challenge Cummings will have to deal with, said outgoing executive director Nancy MacNider, who held the role for 31 years. That, as well as staying current. “St. Mary’s Home was founded in 1933, teen pregnancy is a different societal issue in 2016,” MacNider said, adding challenges and stigma still exist. But in 1933, many of the women who were supported through the home’s programs

were middle or upper class, hiding their pregnancies and most put their babies up for adoption. “It used to be hush, hush,” MacNider said of the women’s pregnancies. “They were visiting an aunt, maybe.” But the organization had to open up, not only to other demographics, but also in welcoming both young men and women who needed help, and needed more help than ever. Many today suffer from trauma, mental health issues or addictions. “I can still remember the day I admitted the first resident with an addiction,” MacNider said. “That was a major challenge, and we had to figure it out. We learned so much from her.” In opening up the doors, St. Mary’s Home also acquired a space for programming that had its grand opening in 2002 – the Young Parent Outreach Centre, the former NotreDame-de-la-Joie School. It’s one of the projects MacNider is most proud of. “We evolved from a residence program only to an outreach program for the whole community,” MacNider said. It also meant opening up

St. Mary’s Home incoming executive director Kathleen Cummings and outgoing executive director Nancy MacNider pose for a photo during the Open Doors Open Hearts event on May 5. for young dads. “The dads used to be the big, bad wolf, they couldn’t even visit their children if they wanted to.” Now dads are welcome to attend, and there are some coed programs. “Fathers love their children, too,” MacNider said. MacNider is also proud of the organization’s ability to develop wider partnerships with the community to better serve youth, including having doctors on site, a food bank and more. While not the initial goal of the partnerships, they have helped decrease rates of preterm labour, low birth weights

and C-sections, MacNider said. Basically, women are having healthier pregnancies, leading to healthier infants. “It’s a great outcome.” But through it all, MacNider said it’s important for St. Mary’s Home, no matter what it does, to stay true to its mission – to build on the strengths of young pregnant women, young moms and dads and their children. “Young people often feel so broken when they come here, often they don’t know what to do, they’re scared, but their strengths are there. They are dormant, we just have to hold them up to see them.”

Pet Adoptions

Meet Ariel (ID# A187509), a sweet and loving cat looking for her purr-fect match. Ariel is a gentle girl looking for a relaxing new home. She can be a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she’ll gladly climb up on to your lap for cuddles. Ariel would prefer a quiet home where she’ll have lots of time to explore and get comfortable. Could this delightful girl be your new best friend? For more information on Ariel and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

May is Chip Your Pet Month

Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. May is Chip Your Pet Month - a perfect time to get a microchip for your furry companion. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet

identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately,

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics with our next clinic coming up on May 14. The cost is $50 - a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221.

PALADEN

This is Paladen. He is from the SPCA of Ottawa. He is the sweetest cat and the most loving. He does like to scream at times and poke me with his claws when he wants something. He is so good with my other cats and dog.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A restless spirit is the catalyst for a new project, Aries. This week you dive right into something that will take up all of your mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, thanks to your hectic schedule, achieving lofty goals this week may be a stretch, so aim for something a little more manageable and celebrate the achievement. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, though you may be content to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others, you really can show just how compelling you are. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer. All you have to do is reach out for assistance. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have many good reasons to throw caution to the wind this week, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Listen carefully to your intuition this week, Virgo. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences. Focus on your dreams for a bit.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when things become complicated, you’re the person people often seek to iron out the situation. You have a way of quickly getting to the root of a problem. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you have a measured and methodical approach to your goals. This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Consider your words before sharing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth. Word things carefully. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Your self-esteem soars this week when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces. 0512
