Elite basketball academy tips off Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Tony House is hoping a new elite basketball program at Notre Dame High School will be a slam dunk for local players looking to compete at a higher level. Players in the Canada Topflight Academy will be enrolled at Notre Dame High School and

will train five or six days a week for competitions against other elite basketball players in Canada and the United States. The partnership between House’s academy and the Ottawa Catholic School Board launches this fall as a pilot project with a boys basketball program. See PLAYERS, page 2

“We are just thrilled and excited to be offering this,” House said. The cost for each athlete is $10,000 per year. House is the director of the

academy and has lived in Ottawa for all but four years of his life. He was an Ontario high school all-star with St. Pius X and went on to play for the University of Manitoba. He has coached basketball camps and programs in the

city for more than 20 years. He’s been working on bringing this program – like many that exist in the states and at prep schools in Toronto – home to Ottawa for about two years. “I’m looking forward to putting

Ottawa even more on the map by beating these top prep schools in Canada and the States,” he said. “I love that Ottawa can compete, and I’m looking forward to showing people that Ottawa can compete on a national and international stage.”

He put together a team of coaches that includes Dave Smart, who played high school ball for Nepean and Woodroffe high schools, before working at Carleton University as assistant and then head coach winning 12 championships. Smart joins Leo Rautins, a member of the Canada’s Basketball Hall of Fame and former head coach of the Canadian national team, and Milt Palacio, who played for several teams, including the Toronto Raptors before playing in Europe. He’s the current assistant coach of the University of Idaho’s mens basketball team. The students, who will have to apply to the academy, will have access to the teachers, administration and guidance counsellors like any other student at Notre Dame. That way they’ll also be ready academically for the next level – including university ball in the states or in Canada, House said. But at the same time, the players will be hitting the gym. “We’ve hired coaches, strength conditioning trainers, sport psychologists, nutritionists – we are really taking that high-end approach in training,” House said. “It’s going to be very intense, and I think kids understand when they apply and get accepted. They are keen on getting better.” House is looking for about 12 to 13 players for this fall and is tentatively planning an open house for June 4 with a tour of the school and two or three hour open gym for players to show off their skills. He’s already working to recruit several students from around the city. “I think Ottawa has become a bit of a hotbed for basketball,

A new elite-level basketball program, called Canada Topflight Academy, will launch at Notre Dame High School this September. both on the girls and the boys side from the grassroots, right up to the university programs. There’s just a lot of really good basketball being played,” House said. “We have our finger on the pulse of a lot of good kids in Ottawa, but we are looking at trying to generate some interest from around the world,” he said. The partnership is also a win for the school board, according to Superintendent Peter Atkinson, of the Catholic board. “It really impacts us at our most important level,” Atkinson said about the academy. Student success is one of the board’s core priorities. “We see this as a possibly a very successful enterprise for student success - it is not only defined as academic achievement, it’s also defined in terms of student wellbeing and student engagement.” He added the program will be great not only for the students involved but also the school community.

It was only four minutes, but it was plenty of time for members of the Dalhousie Community Association to learn about just what’s happening with the city’s light rail project at its annual general meeting. In a speed-dating style line of presentations, complete with a bell at the five-minute mark, Damon Berlin, city stakeholder relations officer for the project, told the community association about a snag with the project on Albert Street. After asked a question about delays, Berlin explained that when pipes are decommissioned they are filled with grout. The problem on Albert Street is it happened to the wrong pipe. “Something happened – that grout shouldn’t have been in that sewer, so it’s being removed,” said Berlin during his presentation. “It’s being fixed. These things happen.” Berlin thanked the community for its patience during construction and bus detours. “It has been impactful and will continue, but it will also end, and

YEAR IN REVIEW

Community association president Michael Powell highlighted some of the work the group took on over the past year, including an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board about a nine-story building on Norman Street. The community association lost the appeal. Powell said the association is stronger because of it and now planners are more willing to speak to the community about concerns and address them. “They do talk to us and know we are serious and we are a tighter com-

that’s the best news,” he said. When Albert Street is reconstructed it will be finished in a complete streets model, widened sidewalks and cycling lanes. “I’m really looking forward to having the city deliver to this community that has been put through so much.” According to the LRT project website, Albert Street has been under construction since April 2014, for infrastructure upgrades and installation, and road construction. Berlin said nearby Booth Street will reopen this fall and the Booth Street bridge deck was recently poured. “Now it looks less like a mess of rebar and more like something you might someday drive, ride your bike or walk on.” Booth Street closed between Albert Street and the John A. Macdonald Parkway on Dec. 21, 2014, for what city staff estimated would be a two-year period. During that time, the bridge was constructed, which spans both the aqueduct and LRT line, and work proceeded on the Pimisi LRT station. Berlin also outlined some of the LRT project’s recent milestones

and goals. The 2.5-kilometre tunnel through the downtown on Queen Street is to be completed in June, the Lyon and Parliament stations are both 100 per cent excavated. Rideau station is 95 per cent excavated. But more than construction details, one audience member wanted to know if the project will actually be done by spring 2018. “The thing about a $2.1-billion project is they have commitments to open on time, so they have committed to spring 2018, and we are going to hold them to that,” Berlin said. “And there are financial penalties to miss that deadline. Everyone wants to make a buck, those guys especially.”

Capital Welcomes hard at work helping settle Syrian refugees Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

It’s hard to believe it all started with a Facebook page. The three university students who originally planned to make a welcome Facebook page for Syrian refugees coming to the capital are still hard at work. University of Ottawa

students Sarah Abood, Jess Touhey and Soumaya Benali have been sorting boxes, holding information sessions, collecting donations and working with other organizations to try their best to make the city’s newest residents feel welcome. Abood made the page one day on a lark, in just two short weeks it became a charity with board members.

“It’s definitely matured me,” said Abood, who is still attending class full time. Thanks to developer Morguard, the group was able to get free space at the former hotel at 250 Sparks Street, where they sort mountains of clothes; toys, car seats, and household items. The group is also working with Wheels for Refugees to help get bikes out to both

kids and adults now that the weather has warmed up. The group was on the ground when the refugees first started coming in, and saw first-hand the work it took to get families housed. Abood said there were families of up to eight people sharing a room with two queen size beds. “It was very chaotic at first because they had to find their own housing,” Touhey said. “The language barrier was hard for them at first.” While many families were

housed within a matter of weeks, there were some families that stayed in hotel rooms for a month or more. Abood, who speaks Arabic, said she was initially surprised by the lack of English spoken by refugees. “It’s almost like a second language in the Middle East,” she said. “But most of the government sponsored refugees would have come from villages, where they wouldn’t have had as much exposure.” Another problem was the

difference between the Syrian currency and the Canadian dollar. “They had a lot of trouble budgeting at first,” Touhey said, adding that renting doesn’t really happen in Syria, most people don’t understand budgeting for board every month. Touhey said the lack of awareness around finances has contributed to the rush of refugees at area food banks. See DOVERCOURT, page 5

Dovercourt offers ongoing support in kids programming Continued from page 4

But the group of young women are doing everything they can to help them get on their feet. They visit the families in their homes, organize activities like a knitting night that was held on May 17, and a job fair, planned with a University of Ottawa professor in June. Other organizations have also stepped up to the plate, including Dovercourt Recreation Centre. Staff from the centre worked with refugees staying at the Travel Lodge on Carling Avenue during the first few months of the year. While the Carlington Community Health Centre worked with the refugees on documentation, and

settlement activities, they realized they needed to do something with the kids. Enter Dovercourt. Steve Nason senior director of programming for the recreation centre, said that kids were going “stir crazy” while their parents were filling out forms. “The kids were just there, what do you do with them,” Nason said, adding it was a challenge to do activities at the hotel because it was March. “The sheer numbers were staggering,” he said, adding the size of the families weren’t what the staff was used to either. But they pitched in and provided program space and activities, even though there were barriers. “It’s a totally different world, a lot of kids have never been in school and aren’t socialized the way a

Canadian child would have been,” he said. Despite that, it was a great experience Nason said. So great, the centre has kept the doors open and is offering free programming for refugees for the next year. They have their choice of camps, swimming lessons or before and after school care. A lot of people have pitched in, trying to fill in the gaps. The first groups started arriving in January and there are currently 1,500 living in the capital. There will be 2,000 Syrians settled in Ottawa by the end of the year. In March 50 kids entered the public school system, with hundreds more planned for the start of the next school year. Mayor Jim Watson set up a working group of

settlement agencies in an attempt to coordinate efforts on housing and job placement. A representative from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said refugees were matched with communities where there are already settlement supports in place, with consideration given to whether they have family members in Canada, as well as the availability of schools, housing and language training.

All plants, vegetables, flowers and trees are Canadian grown, so you are assured of quality that thrives in our local climate. At Canadian Tire Garden Centre, you will find a healthy assortment of vegetable plants, herbs and seeds to grow your own. Who can resist delicious fruit and vegetables picked fresh for your table? Enjoy fresh tomatoes and strawberries right from the vine, grown in hanging baskets…appetising and good for you too. And Canadian Tire Garden Centre is your source for great tasting, high producing small fruit plants and fruit trees. Need help? Your Canadian Tire Garden Centre staff has the knowledge and experience to help you get maximum results from your garden. They can help you choose the right annuals or perennials, and they can offer knowledgeable tips on planting, how to water plants, as well as all kinds of nursery products from one gallon to 15 gallon pots. Spring is the prime time to rid your yard of young weeds before they take root, and to mulch bare spots in beds. Your Canadian Tire Garden Centre has all types of soil, fertilizers, compost and mulch to make the most of your growing potential.

Weeds are easiest to pull now while roots are shallow. Mulch or ground cover will reduce new weed growth. Be sure to keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and plant stems to help reduce rot and protect the bark of young fruit trees. For best results, top dress your garden beds with compost or wellseasoned manure prior to planting. Try not to disturb established beds and they will have already established a complex soil ecosystem. Nutrients added on top will work their way down into the soil. If you take pride in keeping a healthy, green lawn, Nematodes are the biological way to get rid of grubs in soil. Green Earth Grub Busters Nematodes are a naturally occurring, microscopic worm that will safely attack root eating grubs in the larval stage. Nematodes are a natural and safe alternative to pesticides. Easy to use, simply mix and attach to your hose. Canadian Tire Garden Centre has fast growing seed varieties and effective fertilizers so you can grow a carpet of green lawn to last all summer long. Golfgreen 1-Step Lawn Makeover contains fertilizer for fast green-up and Peat to help retain water and micronutrients. Quick germinating seed thickens your lawn, available in an 18 lb (8.2 kg) bag. Looking at an outside living space upgrade?

Great Jewish Family Festival adds parade to lineup Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Taking a cue from New York, Chicago, Tel Aviv, Toronto and Montreal, Ottawa’s Great Jewish Family Festival – Lag Baomer – is adding something brand new to the city. On May 26, Broadview Avenue will be closed from Kerr Avenue to Denison

Crescent for a small parade to run in front of the Soloway Jewish Community Centre, located on Nadolny Sachs Private. The theme of this year’s event is celebrating unity, said Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn, director of public affairs Canadian Federation of Chabad Lubavitch. “It is a Jewish festival that is rather ob-

scure outside the Jewish community,” Mendelsohn said. Traditionally, it’s celebrated with people coming together outdoors. Because it doesn’t have specific practices associated with it, the occasion isn’t as well known. By adding the parade, Mendelsohn is hoping it will broaden the appeal of the festival beyond the city’s Jewish community. “The City of Ottawa has lots of parades, but the Jewish community is a relatively small community, and we’ve never done anything remotely close to this before and I’m hoping that we can get beyond just the Jewish community coming out.” The parade features marching bands, clowns, Ferraris and floats, each more than six-feet in height, including a charity box with giant coins to represent generosity and charity.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Beyond the borrow and spend economy

try very hard to ignore investment statements, especially those in relatively low risk or registered accounts. A few weeks ago, while up to my eyeballs in tax documents, however, I had a glance at my registered education savings fund (RESP). A number of years ago, I read about an experiment that suggested parents rarely, if ever, would dip into their children’s education fund, even in an emergency, and even among extremely poor families in rural India. This makes it an untouchable savings fund – the idea is that you leave it there for a long period of time, make some good money in interest, and because your child’s future is at stake, you don’t dare touch it, even when times are tight. Since then, I’ve saved an increasing amount each year for my kids, in the event they go to post-secondary school. The bonus with an RESP is that the government contributes 20 per cent over and above your contribution amount, which means it’s got the best return-on-investment (ROI) around. What I saw on my state-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse ments, however, shocked me, although it probably won’t surprise many of you – negative returns. I lost money on my savings, and I’d been losing money on my children’s investments for about 12 months. That wasn’t the case a year ago. Recognizing that growth has been small, I wasn’t expecting huge returns, but I was hoping to be, at the very least, earning something, as a reward for my monthly sacrifice. But this was a dig. I mean, what’s the point in saving money – rather than spending or paying down debt – if I’m actually losing on the principal? It so happens that CBC Radio One was reading my mind that particular day. At least once per week, I find myself driving to Orléans and tuning into hear All

in a Day’s Alan Neal have a casual chat about the economy with Albertabased economics reporter Kate MacNamara. On this particular day, MacNamara was recounting an experiment she had done with her 11-year-old daughter to determine where best to save a portion of her pocket money. After searching a number of banks – both mainstream and small – MacNamara found she had no solid place for her daughter to save, unless she was willing to take a big risk. It’s the same for the rest of us. While I’ve written endlessly about the value of saving – and I still believe it’s good to have a nest egg or a rainy day fund – there is really zero incentive to save in today’s economy. As MacNamara pointed

out, with the interest rates at all time lows, the Bank of Canada continues to encourage and reward the borrower/spender, while leaving savers out in the cold. “They (the Bank of Canada) endlessly peddle the financial literacy line,” MacNamara said. “It’s time to make it actually pay. Stop pushing savers endlessly into risk ... Anyone who wants to make anything – including 11 year olds – are pushed into junk.” In the end, MacNamara advised her own daughter to go blow her pocket

money on Cheezies. It doesn’t seem like such a bad idea for the rest of us either. We may at least opt to pay down debt while rates are low rather than throw our cash into the money pit of negative returns. It may well be why Canadians seem to be increasingly choosing to raid their retirement funds early. According to a BMO study released in February, an estimated 34 per cent of adult Canadians made a pre-retirement withdrawal from their RRSP. Canadians seem to be willing to take the excessive tax hit to use their retirement funds to pay off debt, cover off an income shortfall or pur-

chase a new home. As MacNamara noted, until the Bank of Canada alters interest rate policy to benefit savers, it’s likely the rest of us will opt to blow our pocket money on Cheezies rather than continue to suffer the diminishing rates of return on our savings. For me, my RRSP may be up for grabs in current conditions, but my kids’ education fund, despite the losses, is safe. Turns out those behavioural economists are right – regardless of the need, I’m apparently psychologically incapable of diminishing my children’s future, even in the face of diminishing returns.

Park plan becomes PR disaster for city

t should have been a good news story, but instead has become a public relations disaster. No, not the bench clearing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;manhandlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;elbowgateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rumble last week in the House of Commons. No, this PR faux pas surrounds the plan to build the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest playground at Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Park as part of a reality TV show involving kids. Yes, a TV show project that will leave the city with a destination location for any families with children visiting Ottawa has become a hot potato at city hall. This is all because a secret deal to get involved in the project has left many residents and organizations that use the site to stage their events crying foul that they were not informed in advance nor has there been any public consultation. When you have a former Olympian such as Sue Holloway, who lives near Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay and has a fitness area in the park named after her, speaking out, you know the public relations optics surrounding this project have gone off the rails. The city is contributing almost $1 million to the approximately $2-million project, which will be filmed for the Giver childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TV show.

The show will involve filming the construction of the playground and involve kids as they assist in the construction project that will take the shape of Canada. The structure is scheduled to open on July 1, 2017, to mark the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th birthday. It sounds like a win-win for the city. A Canada 150 legacy project, with the city getting a $2-million playground for half price as the TV show will also put in $1 million. You can see why those at city hall thought it would be a no-brainer as something the community as a whole could rally around. But the lack of public notice, let alone public consultation, looks bad in light of the fact that in the very same week the Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Park brouhaha has emerged, city councillors such as George Darouze have been touting how effective public consultations can be after the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to defer changes to its stormwater rate fee structure after rural residents pushed back. The Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Park project is exactly the type of Canada 150 legacy project city residents will enjoy for years as opposed to yet more fireworks shows. Yes, the PR optics may be bad, but sometimes things just need to get done.

A very Canadian way to create Order

was at Rideau Hall the other day, watching 48 Canadians, including a cousin and a former boss, be inducted into the Order of Canada. The day gave me a greater appreciation of both the Order and the setting in which it was awarded. You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that the recipients represented a crosssection of Canada. This group, on this day, was predominantly white, and predominantly anglo. Still, there was an impressive range of accomplishments among the inductees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some athletes, some teachers, some in the helping professions and the arts, a couple of writers and a bunch of scientists and doctors. A couple of the inductees were famous; most were not. That in itself is encouraging. You can be someone whose accomplishments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put you

But we are not a formal people. The string quartet played a Beatles tune. Several of the recipients had small cheering sections that whooped, possibly violating protocol, as their friends were introduced. A couple of the inductees broke through the formality with little gestures of celebration that brought laughs from the crowd. And at the end of the ceremony, there was enthusiastic applause for all the recipients that went on far longer than you would expect.

So what might originally have been thought of as a formal, British-style ceremony, became quite Canadian, and all the more moving for that. Some of the credit for this goes to Rideau Hall itself, and the people who work there. The building is grand and regal, but the folks inside are friendly and helpful. Anyone who enters intimidated by the surroundings soon relaxes, because there is a staffer at every turn who can tell you where to go, what to do, what happens next. There is no stiffness. They all smile. The rooms are lovely as is the garden out back, where people strolled â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even smoked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after the ceremony. The larger grounds themselves are well-used, by locals as well as tourists, after an unfortunate period in the 1980s when they were closed to the public, for reasons that were never made entirely clear. There are those, and I am one EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: /FWJM )VOU OFWJM IVOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: .FMMJTTB .VSSBZ NNVSSBZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN

of them, who think that having a governor general in Canada is a colonial relic. But most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that way. We will likely have a governor general and Rideau Hall for decades, if not centuries, to come. Given that, we are fortunate that both the institution and the place have become so welcoming and comfortable for Canadians.

Parade to pay tribute to cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many first responders Continued from page 6

The other floats will depict Jewish symbols, including tefillin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a set of small black leather boxes containing scrolls inscribed with verses from the Torah â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Sabbath, represented by two candlesticks, and more. While those might resonate more with the Jewish community, they will be explained by an emcee for the broader community and have wide-reaching messages, Mendelsohn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be making every effort to focus on the universal

message of it.â&#x20AC;? For the tefillin, the message is about a moment of silence and prayer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those messages can be beyond just the Jewish community and spectators could both learn from the Jewish culture and at the same time it can have meaning for them as well.â&#x20AC;? The parade will also be a tribute to first responders and will include military vehicles, RCMP, paramedic, police and fire vehicles. The event starts at 4 p.m. with games, petting zoo, activities, food, fair and rides on the field near the community centre. Then at 6 p.m. an acrobat show will

lead festival-goers to the parade route for its start at 6:30 p.m. Mendelsohn said the short route was chosen in part because the parade will act as a dry run for a larger one next year, when the festival happens on a Sunday. When the festival falls on a weekend, about 1,000 people attend. This year Mendelsohn is expecting a few hundred. Admission to the festival is free.

Committee supports fix for pipes at Lemieux Island plant Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A possible fix for jammed intake pipes at the Lemieux Island water filtration plant could cost $18.5 million, a staff report says The environment committee approved the plan on May 17 to extend the intake pipes deeper into the Ottawa River and go below the ice to prevent “frazil” from getting into the pipes. Frazil is a collection of randomly oriented needle-like ice crystals and formed in open, tur-

bulent, super-cooled water. The problem began in January 2013. The problem initially caused multiple plant shutdowns. Shutdowns are a problem, as the plant processes 200 million litres of water daily – the same as the Britannia plant. Temporary measures in that first year – which included a bypass pumping system and shovelling – cost the city $583,500, the report reads. The next year, temporary, smaller diameter intake pipes

were installed at a cost of $750,000. in 2014-15 the extensions were also blocked, prompting a bypass pumping system to be installed at a cost of $773,000. In some cases divers had to remove the blockages. Staff estimate the cost of the deep water intake system to range between $17.2 and $18.5 million. It’s the most costly of the three options proposed, but is considered the best bet to deal with the problem in the long term. The solution would involve extending pipes 225 metres from the shoreline to the deepest part of the river, across the OntarioQuebec border. Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor asked city staff if there could be

COURTESY OF THE CITY OF OTTAWA

City staff have proposed a solution to ice buildup in the intake pipes at the Lemieux Island water treatment facility. The solution could cost $18.5 million. additional costs associated with extending to the border, but staff

said it wasn’t a factor in the estimate. Capital Coun. and committee chair David Chernushenko asked staff if the problem could be solved with conservation. “We want to solve the problem, but we want to do it in the most cost effective way,” Chernushenko said. “Councillors are just turning over stones to make sure staff and the consultants haven’t missed anything.” But staff said the Lemieux Island facility handles half the citywide demand and there isn’t enough wiggle room to handle plant shutdowns.

By Lise LaBrie IF YOU suffer from low back pain and sciatica, you are one of over 3 million adults in the Canada with this often crippling spinal condition. Shooting, stabbing and burning pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain through the buttocks and down the legs are all symptoms of a pinched nerves often called “sciatica”. In severe cases, it can lead to muscle wasting, numbness and constant tingling down to the tip of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you down and drain the joy out of life. That is, until now... Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain have led to the development and huge success of Non-Surgical Corrective Spinal Care. The excellent results of this treatment have been published in major medical journals. With success rates as high as 90% some back surgeons are recommending their patients try this treatment first before having back surgery. In Nepean, you can try Non-Surgical Corrective Spinal Care at the Crestview Chiropractic Clinic – the office of low back pain and sciatica relief expert, Dr. Paul Groulx. Dr. Groulx has helped more than 1000 patients find relief from their agonizing back pain and sciatica.

Ottawa woman shares story of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

For Nathalie Robertson, the warmer weather won’t mean rock climbing or hiking. Like 300,000 other

Canadians, Robertson suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. Often called the “invisible disease” because there are no outward signs of illness, RA causes the immune system to attack the

joints. It can cause swelling, joint damage and deformity. Robertson was diagnosed in 2003, but that was after a year of dealing with really weird, debilitating symptoms.

LA-Z-BOY STORE OPENS IN KANATA Free Design Assistance and Striking Room Displays Help Shoppers Find Comfortable and Great Looking Furniture to Fit Their Lifestyle KANATA, ONTARIO (May 17, 2016) – Local furniture shoppers will be surprised to see what La-Z-Boy has in store for Kanata residents. The iconic furniture company is holding a grand opening celebration of its awardwinning store design starting May 27, 2016 and featuring a shopping experience as comfortable as its famous furniture. The new store – located at 8231 Campeau Drive in Kanata which occupies just over 19,000-square-feet– boasts a remarkable selection of great looking furniture for the entire home, all presented in inspiring room displays organized by lifestyle. The store represents a new design format for La-Z-Boy, and truly embodies the “Live life comfortablySM” tagline. “We offer furniture to fit nearly every lifestyle and design, and our beautiful new store in Kanata provides a refreshing new shopping experience for customers,” said David Maxwell store owner. “La-Z-Boy today is so much more than recliners – and customers will really be amazed when they walk into the new store to find bright and colorful displays inviting them to relax and explore.” To make shopping easy, furniture throughout the store is grouped by style, including “comfortably casual,” “modern retreat,” “traditional elegance” and “classics revisited,” allowing customers to find the look that is perfect for their home. The Kanata area store features a wide-range of furniture from more than 60 sofa styles, to sectionals, leather, loveseats, ottomans as well as the company’s legendary recliners. The new location also offers a large selection of home accents and accessories to help customers create a complete look. Ottawa residents will also get a chance to see this great new format with the opening of a new location on West Hunt Club Road. Opening near Lowe’s Home Improvements, this store relocated from the corner of Merivale and Hunt Club Rd and will continue to offer residents of Ottawa the inspiration they’re used to with great-looking fully accessorized room displays and dramatic décor ideas. No Pressure Shopping Both stores also offer two convenient approaches for shoppers who seek design direction. Customers looking to visualize their custom furniture dreams can use interactive design tools to render any La-Z-Boy product in their choice of hundreds of fabric and leather covers. For those who need more inspiration and guidance, La-Z-Boy stores also offer free In-Home Design Assistance from professionals experienced at helping turn design dreams into reality. La-Z-Boy designers will also visit customer’s homes to help them with their design project and advise on styles that will fit comfortably into their home and budget. “Our associates provide a comfortable shopping environment from selection through delivery,” said Maxwell. “Consumers can be assured that they will enjoy a comfortable no-pressure experience while at our stores – we’re truly here to help.” A Grand Celebration The Kanata store will celebrate their grand opening on May 27, 2016. “The grand opening sale is a great opportunity for Kanata residents to explore the latest in La-Z-Boy furniture,” said Maxwell. “Our team of associates and designers are excited to show everyone how comfortable La-Z-Boy furniture can be custom-fit to any lifestyle.” Visit the new locations at: • 8231 Campeau Drive, Kanata, Ontario – 613-834-3343 o Corner of Didsbury and Campeau off the Terry Fox exit from the 417. • 290 Hunt Club Road, Nepean, Ontario – 613-228-0100 o Near Lowe’s Home Improvements The store’s website is available at www.lzb.ca. About La-Z-Boy Headquartered in Monroe, Michigan, La-Z-Boy has been producing some of the world’s most comfortable furniture for over 89 years.

The Navan woman was walking to work and slipped on the ice. Her knee was still swollen three weeks later. Next her shoulder started to hurt, but it wasn’t just a twinge. “It was swollen, it would feel like it was burning and it was hot to the touch,” she said. A couple of visits to the doctor didn’t garner many answers. “We never really put the shoulder and the knee together,” Robertson said. Next she started to see nodules on her toes and one wrist. Her doctor originally thought the shoulder pain was from bursitis and xrays didn’t turn up any answers. “The early stages don’t show any joint damage, so it’s tough to determine at first,” Robertson said, adding blood work also didn’t show anything at first. See ARTHRITIS, page 19

Notice of Community Consultation NAV CANADA proposes changes to Ottawa flight paths NAV CANADA is seeking public input regarding proposed changes to flight paths for aircraft arriving to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. Some of the new approach paths will lever new technology – known as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) – that combines satellite-based positioning with modern flight management systems, allowing an aircraft to fly a precise route. This allows for the design of flight paths that are shorter – reducing flight times and reducing fuel burn as well as related greenhouse gas emissions. RNP also enables Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA); these reduce level segments and are the quietest type of approach. Initially, only a small portion of aircraft – less than 25 per cent – will be equipped to fly the new procedure. As part of the proposed redesign, some standard arrival routes are also being updated. No changes are proposed for departure routes. The proposed flight paths are estimated to save up to two minutes flying time for arrivals while GHG reductions are estimated at 750 metric tonnes each year. NAV CANADA has made information – including maps – on proposed flight path changes available online at www.navcanada.ca/YOW. Residents are invited to learn about changes and provide feedback using the comment tool available on the website by June 30, 2016. Residents can also attend the following Open House Consultation Events: June 2, 2016 – 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Good Shepherd School Gymnasium 101 Bearbrook Road Gloucester, ON K1B 3H5

“I went from zero to 100 in a matter of months,” Robertson said, adding she couldn’t shake someone’s hand without gritting her teeth from the pain. She also began limping, and insisted on seeing a specialist. That’s when she got the diagnosis. “At first it was like a black hole, where you don’t have much information, but then it gets sorted and you start to come out of it,” she said. After a year-and-half Robertson ended up on her first biologic, which finally brought the symptoms under control. Part of getting her symptoms under control meant putting off her plans to start a family until her pain was manageable. “We wanted to start having kids right away, but my doctor suggested we get the symptoms under control first,” Robertson said. Unfortunately, some dam-

age couldn’t be reversed and Robertson had her first shoulder surgery in 2006 because of a torn rotator cuff.

‘I am able to work full-time, enjoy time with my family, volunteer, in all lead a very happy and complete life.’ NATHALIE ROBERTSON

She had her son in 2007, and miraculously she felt great during the pregnancy, despite coming off the medication. But a few weeks after her son was born, the symptoms came back with a vengeance. “I felt like I hit a wall,” Robertson said. “I knew I had to do something.” Now on Actemra – which reduces inflammation – Robertson said her pain is managed. “Message is one of hope,”

Robertson said. “I am able to work full-time, enjoy time with my family, volunteer, in all lead a very happy and complete life.” Robertson added that it’s about getting used to your limitations. “You have to mourn your old self, and know that you’re not going to go out rock climbing or hiking anymore. This is your new normal and you have to be zen about that.” For people just starting out on their journey, Robertson recommends the Canadian Arthritis Patient Alliance (www.athritispatient.ca). The organization supports patients being advocates for themselves. Another option is the Ottawa chapter of the Arthritis Society. The group is hosting four seminars in May and early June designed to give people the resources to cope with their conditions. The local chapter can be found at arthritis.ca.

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means:

Funding to our health care system will increase by over $1 billion this year.

• 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

Opening of parlour marks start of new season

inally, once again we were allowed into the parlour. It had been closed up as tight as a drum since the first snow fall months before. The braided rug rolled up on the floor tight to the door sealing the cold air in, and keeping the warm air of the kitchen out, had been thrown over the fence and beaten with the broom and rolled up in the Renfrew Mercury and tucked under a bed until needed again. The only time the parlour door had been open since being shut off for the winter, was when it was our turn to have the Saturday night house party. And as soon as the last body went home, slam went the door and down went the braided rug! That day, when I came home from school and walked into the kitchen, there was the parlour door wide open. The only window was on the north side and so

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories the sun hadn’t penetrated the room and I could still feel the chill of the long winter months when it was closed up. But it was like a new adventure to me, being able to use the parlour again. It was as if I had never seen the room before! Of course, nothing had changed. The horsehair settee, the largest piece of furniture, sat kitty corner, and the twig table beside, still held the big family Bible, which was full of pieces of paper telling of births, deaths, and marriages. And even though I loved to look at the Bible, it held a bit of terror for me, too.

Because pressed between its pages were several dried up flowers, taken right off the casket of a departed relative. Nobody seemed to know whose casket they came from, and that alone was enough to cause goose bumps on my arms. Just like before a Saturday night house party, it took a couple of days for the odors of the closed-up parlour to smell, as Father called it “decent.” To me it smelled like old wet galoshes, and then there were the mothballs. Mother put an ample amount of them all over the room, and I could never understand if it was to cover

the moldy smell, or to keep away the moths. Mother tucked them into the crevices of the settee, they sat on the twig table, and I even found some under the braided rug by the one sitting-chair in the room. Of course, there would be dust everywhere. And so it was my job to wipe the furniture and take the whisk to the cushions, and generally try to bring the parlour back to whatever grandeur it had. And the parlour was not considered a room for frivolity! Games were never to be played in it, and any roughhousing was absolutely out of the question. On the walls were pictures of those who had passed on. Big oval pictures of stern faces looking like they carried the cares of the entire world on their shoulders. I often wondered, as I looked on them with awe, if they had ever smiled even once during their long lives.

One frame held someone’s braided hair, worked into a semi circle, with a small tin-type picture underneath it. That picture gave me the willies, and I did everything in my power to keep my eyes averted from it when I was in the parlour. Mother didn’t like it any better than I did and once she told Father she was going to get rid of it. Father looked like he had been struck with a plank and said the hair in the frame had been there long before he was born and that’s where it would be staying. Mother asked him whose hair it was and he had no idea, but nonetheless, it was not to be taken down. And so it stayed and like the dried flowers pressed in the family Bible, put a chill in the parlour for me that even the hot summer days couldn’t erase. And it was in the parlour that we five children sat when we settle

down with a book from the Renfrew Library. Never were we allowed to read at the kitchen table, just in case a crumb or a spot of butter got on a page, and we would have to pay for the book when we took it back. I was always glad when the parlour was opened after the long winter and it was a place to read, settled down on the horsehair settee. It was a small room, and when I sat there alone with my library book, even though the pictures on the walls gave me pause, it was a place where I could escape into a fantasy world, lost in the pages of my book from the Renfrew Library.

Berry meringue cake easy to make Also known as Brita cake, this Finnish vanilla cake meringue combo appears difficult to make, but it’s not. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect looking, it will taste delicious with juicy fresh strawberries. Preparation Time: 25 minutes Baking Time: 22 minutes Chilling Time: up to 4 hours Serves: 8 INGREDIENTS

• 3 eggs, at room temperature • 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour • 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt • 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, at room temperature • 2/3 cup (150 mL) granulated sugar • 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk Meringue layer: • 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar • 1 cup (250 mL) 35 per cent whipping cream • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla

• 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) sliced strawberries PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Draw a 12- x 7-inch (30 x 18 cm) rectangle on parchment paper; turn over and line a baking sheet. Set aside. Separate eggs, placing yolks in small bowl and whites in medium bowl. In separate small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. In large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter with 2/3 cup (150 mL) of sugar until creamy. Beat in yolks, one at a time, scraping down sides until well blended. Beat in half the flour mixture followed by milk and remaining flour mixture, scraping down sides as needed. Scrape onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spread to fit the traced rectangle. Meringue: Using clean beaters and bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Beat in

granulated sugar, 2 tbsp (25 mL) at a time; until stiff glossy peaks form. Carefully spread over cake batter. Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven for 20 to 22 minutes or until meringue is very pale golden and a skewer inserted through cake comes out clean. Cool completely on baking sheet on rack. Trim cake to make a rectangle. Cut cake in half crosswise to form two pieces. With large flat metal spatula, carefully transfer half of the cake to flat serving plate, meringue side up. In medium chilled bowl, using electric mixer, whip cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream on cake layer. Scatter two cups (500 mL) of the strawberries over top. Top with second cake layer. Cover and refrigerate up to four hours. Just before serving scatter with remaining strawberries. Foodland Ontario

Bringing Caribbean flare to food truck cuisine New food tuck, located at 1025 Merivale Rd., serves jerk chicken Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

One of Ottawa’s newest food trucks is bringing the flavour of Barbados to Merivale Road. Ken Strangway is putting his flare on Caribbean and Latin food – chicken and potato rotis, tacos and jerk chicken – with his food truck, Ken’s Street Eats, located at 1025 Merivale Rd. behind the Mac’s Milk, in Carlington. It’s the jerk chicken, marinated in scotch bonnet peppers, soy sauce, vinegar, oil and spices, that’s Strangway’s favourite. As a regular traveller to

Barbados, on every trip he makes a stop at Ricky’s Happy Fun Time Bar. One of the women who work there gave him some tricks and tips for bringing out the flavours in his jerk chicken. “They gave me the secrets behind it,” Strangway said. But he didn’t bring the atmosphere back with him. “It’s a dingy little place in the middle of nowhere. It’s dark, nobody goes there,” he said. But it’s the best jerk chicken he’s ever had.

Instead, the area beside his food truck has a robin’s-egg blue umbrella that shades a white patio table with four chairs, palm tree and a blue and green muskoka chair. A small radio plays some up-tempo Caribbean beats. “I wanted to create my own little oasis,” he said. Strangway used to operate a food cart at different events in Carleton Place, where he’s lived for the past 10 years. When he was laid off this past October – he was working as a sheet metal worker – he thought this was his opportunity to step up his operation. He found the food truck browsing one day on Kijiji. He was one of the first callers to respond to the ad, the first decided not to take it, so it was his. “It’s like I was fated for it.” He painted the bottom yellow, kept the top red and moved in for his soft launch on May 1 and grand

it’s a little bit easier on the body,” Strangway said in comparison to his former job. He’s also enjoying the freedom

that comes with being his own boss and being able to change up the menu whenever he wants. “It’s the customers that determine

what I’m making.” He’s brought in requests, including fudgesicles and even pickled eggs. He’s also offering hand-cut fries, poutine and homemade burgers. He said the community has been very welcoming and came out for the grand opening party in droves, enjoying the face painting, balloons and free samples. “Everything is homemade and it’s not coming out of a box,” Strangway said. “I really care about the food and I taste it way too much,” he said with a laugh. But this might not be the last stop for Strangway. He’s got even bigger ambitions. But the food truck will allow him to perfect his menu and test the market for his food. “Eventually, I’m hoping to have a little restaurant or beach bar,” he said. “Little steps.” For more information visit Facebook at www.facebook.com/kensstreeteats/.

Kittens found zip-tied in Kanata dumpster OHS seeks information to find person responsible Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Ottawa Humane Society is looking for information after two kittens were found zip-tied in a Kanata dumpster earlier this month. A contractor working at a housing complex near Leacock Drive in Beaverbrook found the two kittens on May 2 in a red plastic box after he heard meowing coming from the dumpster, said the OHS in a news release. He brought the felines to the humane society. Investigators determined they had likely been in the dumpster since April 30. The kittens, one female and one male, were dehydrated and had eye and upper re-

spiratory infections, said the OHS. A vet treated them with fluids, antibiotics and eye ointment, but the male kit-

ten died. The female kitten, which OHS staffed named Daisy, is recovering. “She’s a lively little girl who is incredibly sweet and

cuddly. You’d never know how close she came to being carted off to a landfill somewhere in that sealed box to her certain death,” said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director. OHS investigators are looking for tips to help them track down the person responsible. Anyone with information is asked to call 613-725-3166 ext. 224. Roney said the past few weeks haven’t been kind to cats. A cat was killed following an attack by another animal last week and on Monday, May 16, another cat died after falling from a high-rise building. “Those preventable tragedies highlight the need to keep cats indoors where it’s safe,” he said.

OTTAWA HUMANE SOCIETY/SUBMITTED

Daisy, one of two kittens found zip-tied in a Kanata dumpster on May 2, is recovering, says the Ottawa Humane Society. The other kitten died from an infection. OHS is looking for information to find the person responsible.

The Ottawa-based ecommerce company will be one of the 19 new locations this year, and with a go-cart track and a slide in its kitchen – Mayor Jim Watson said it could very well turn out to be the most popular.

MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

Senior vice-president of engineering at Shopify, Jean-Michel Lemieux explains Shopify’s headquarters aims to support creative and innovative workspace. Shopify will be one of 19 new locations offered at this year’s Doors Open Ottawa, taking place June 4 and 5. than just a race cart track, saying the 155,000-squarefoot office space was in-

deed built differently, with the company keeping in mind what the best way to

support creative and innovative workspace would be. Turns out it does

include a slide and welcoming children – as Lemieux explained, the company is embracing how home and work-life mix. “It’s about integration of personality types,” Lemieux said, adding the company wanted to have a workspace designed that reflected how people work best – whether it is sometimes in a team environment, and sometimes on their own. Having started the company at a table in the Bridgehead coffee shop on Elgin Street, Lemieux said they have constantly been pushing the boundaries of office design. The new space includes six floors, each featuring a different theme. “We look forward to showing Ottawa what we’ve created,” Lemieux said.

Shopify invited volunteers and hosts to have a sneak-peek to check out the office’s digs after the launch announcement. During Doors Open, Shopify will be offering guided tours only, with limited space. Aside from Shopify, the High Commission of Malaysia, the National Research Council Canada Uplands Wind Tunnel Facilities, Ottawa Jail Hostel, Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, TD Place and Jane’s Walk in Lowertown are a few of the new additions this year to the Doors Open lineup of welcoming venues. A full list of participating buildings, including which ones are fully-accessible, is available by visiting ottawa. ca/doorsopen.

Parks GM takes questions over mega park Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Residents want some questions answered over a proposal to build a mega park at Mooney’s Bay, KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli said at the May 19 community and protective services committee.

Egli wanted to know how long the city knew about the plan for the park before making the announcement. Dan Chenier, the general manager for the park and recreation department, took the hot seat to answer questions around the city’s contribution to the supersized, 4,600-square metre

play structure. “I know I have gotten a lot of calls from residents who are looking for answers,” Egli said. Chenier said Sinking Ship Entertainment approached the city on Jan. 5 – the announcement was made on May 13. “The production company was in talks with the

NOTICE OF PASSING OF ZONING BY-LAWS BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA The Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-laws 2016-153, 2016-154, 2016-155, 2016-156 and 2016-157 on May 11, 2016, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT.

NCC (National Capital Commission) prior to discussions with the city,” Chenier said, adding he couldn’t say which sites the company looked at before entering into negotiations with the city. A spokesperson from the NCC wouldn’t comment on which sites were considered before the company began ne-

gotiations with the city. The mega park will be built on the north end of the site. It will be the 42nd park built by the production company. The structure will be shaped like Canada and feature 10 mini parks representing the provinces. The construction will be filmed and aired in 10

episodes. The show is called Giver, and runs on TVO. Kids across Canada will be recruited to star in the show and cameras will follow them as they help build the playground with Michael Lagimodiere, a contractor and designer. Organizers are also hoping to break a Guinness World Record by building the longest set of continuous monkey bars. See MOONEY’S, page 31

Mooney’s Bay park comes with a $2 million price tag College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said when he works with city staff to build a park in his ward, they usually recommend not having monkey bars. “Every time there’s a park built in my ward there’s resistance to monkey bars, and now we are

building the world’s longest,” he said. Chiarelli also said he was concerned about the fate of festivals like Dragon Boat and Hope Volleyball. Chenier said the city has kept Dragon Boat organizers in the loop on the project since February. Prep work for the park is slated for completion by

June 16. Chenier said the schedule was necessarily tight because work on the first of the 10 provinces has to start in July. The city will provide festival organizers with sandbags to secure 82 team tents on top of a ground covering that is necessary ahead of work on the playground, Chenier said.

That membrane can’t be staked with tent pegs. Chenier said the work might interfere with bike parking planned for the site, so organizers are looking for an alternative location. Sinking Ship will host a public open house in June, Chenier said, addressing questions around the lack

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on May 11, 2016 established its intention to designate 375 King Edward Avenue under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 375 King Edward Avenue (Adath Jeshurun Synagogue, now Église Adventiste du Septième Jour) Description of Property – 375 King Edward Avenue The former Adath Jeshurun Synagogue is a red brick, two storey structure with a high basement, a symmetrical facade and a shallow gabled roof behind a decorative parapet. It is located on the east side of King Edward Avenue, to the north of the intersection of King Edward Avenue and Rideau Street. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The former Adath Jeshurun Synagogue has design value as a late example of the Romanesque Revival Style and as an example of early synagogue architecture in Ottawa. The Romanesque Revival style was a popular choice for religious buildings in the 19th century, and was used in other synagogues across Canada, including the oldest surviving synagogue, Congregation Emanuel in Victoria, British Columbia. The heritage attributes of the former Adath Jeshurun Synagogue that are characteristic of the style include its round arched windows, the elaborate round arched entranceway with a fan shaped transom window and brick corbelling and the two tower-like projecting end bays topped with Moorish-inspired decorative metal domes. The Adath Jeshurun Synagogue was constructed in 1904 to accommodate the growing Jewish community of Lowertown and was one of the earliest synagogues established in Ottawa. After its closure in 1956, it was converted into the Jewish Community Memorial Chapel and operated as the site of all Jewish funerals until 1997. The building has historical value for its associations with the growth of the Jewish community in Lowertown. Continuing its use as a spiritual centre, the building was purchased by the Église Adventiste du Septième Jour in 1998. Since then, the church has housed Ottawa’s only Francophone Seventh Day Adventist congregation, and served as the centre of the congregation’s community.

The former Adath Jeshurun Synagogue has historical value for its associations with its designer, architect John W.H. Watts, and alterations by Allan Horwood and Cecil Burgess. Soon after arriving in Ottawa from England, Watts was hired by Thomas Seaton Scott, Chief Architect for the Department of Public Works in Ottawa. Watts was soon elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and was appointed as the curator of the National Gallery in 1882. He served as the curator of the gallery until 1897. At the end of the 19th century, Watts started a career as an architect in private practice and became well known for designing churches and residences for Ottawa’s elite including the Booth Mansion at 252 Metcalfe Street (1909) for J.R. Booth and a house for Andrew Fleck at 500 Wilbrod Street (1901). The building has contextual value as one of three remaining historic buildings on this block of King Edward Avenue and as a landmark because of its design value.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Michael Qaqish tried to put the issue in perspective. “It’s not that often that people come to us with $1 million to fund a project of this nature,” he said, adding the festivals only come to Mooney’s Bay once a year. “Let’s not look at a $1 million gift horse in the mouth.”

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike takes the stage at the Gladstone Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

The Gladstone Theatre’s most anticipated show of the season, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, opened May 20 for a threeweek run that ends June 5. The show was extended a week due to early interest and pre-sale ticket sales, said director and co-producer David Whiteley of Plosive Productions, a local theatre company. The show, written by Christopher Durang, ran on Broadway in 2013. It’s about three middleaged siblings. Vanya and sister Sonia have lived in their parents’ farmhouse, full of regret, angst and are financially supported by their movie-star sister Masha.

North Island Link Environmental Assessment and Functional Design Study Public Presentation at the Manotick Village and Community Association Annual General Meeting Tuesday, June 7 7 to 8 p.m. Manotick Arena and Community Centre, second floor 5572 Doctor Leach Drive The City of Ottawa is conducting a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the North Island Link Watermain in Manotick. The study will identify the preferred alignment to link the existing watermain on Rideau Valley Drive to the proposed Manotick Watermain Link at the north end of Long Island. The North Island Link will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River.

The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Consultation At the meeting, residents will learn of the preferred alignment for the watermain. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa.

performance. “The play has something to say about aging and time passing.” It also comments on climate change and how technology can create a disconnection in a modern age. Whiteley said the scenes can get pretty crazy, but are rooted in truth, which is why they are so funny. “They are crazy people, but it’s the kind you can find in real life.” One of his favourite scenes is when Spike is told to put his clothes back on. He does a little reverse striptease. “There are lots of antics.” Spike also performs an audition for the siblings, with a lot of encouragement from Masha, who is a little blinded by the fact that he has no talent. “It’s a train wreck of an

audition and when I watch it, it’s a struggle not to lose it every time,” Whiteley said. The sisters also quarrel about who has suffered more - the sister who never had a chance to make it because she was taking care of her parents, or the sister suffering through terrible movies, waiting for a big break and paying all of the bills. It all gets aired out for the audience during the twoand-a-half-hour comedy. “You’ll be laughing over something, but at the same time feeling sympathy for the characters.” Whiteley said the audience can expect to have a really good time at the show and be able to recognize a bit of themselves in the characters. “There’s the accumulation of baggage, or missed opportunities and resentment

of a sibling,” he said. “Time is a big part of the play and also anxiety over the future.” The cast is completely local and includes Mary Ellis as Sonia, Beverly Wolfe as Cassandra, Drew Moore as Spike, and Sarah Finn as Nina. They join Plosive Production’s Chris Ralph, playing Vanya, and Teri LorettoValentik, playing Masha. “It pays off to have such strong veteran actors with lots of experience, raw talent and great training,” Whiteley said. “We’re bringing the best talent in the city to the stage for this show. It’s a big show and a great cast. It’s sure to be great.” For more information or tickets, go to www.thegladstone.ca, of call the box office at 613-2334523. Tickets range in price from $18 to $34.

Brain Injury Awareness Walk all set for June Staff

The 2016 Walk for Brain Injury Awareness is set for June 18 at Andrew Haydon Park in the Crystal Beach area of Nepean. The event, which started in 2012 and now has become an annual event in Ottawa as well as Gananoque and Belleville, was started by Robert

Wein. Wein suffered catastrophic brain injury and other permanent disabilities when a group cyclists he was training with in July 2009 were hit by a vehicle along March Road in Kanata. Wein, who was the most severely injured in the incident, came to understand that the issues he faced as

a result of his injuries also affect many others who are living with the long-term effects of a brain injury and that the public is largely unaware of the challenges faced by survivors. Wein organized and led the first walk in 2012 and donated the proceeds to the Pathways Foundation Capital Campaign – to con-

Doctor faces disciplinary hearing for alleged sexual abuse Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

A doctor currently working in Orléans is facing sex abuse allegations involving a patient at a different Ottawa

clinic in Centrepointe. Atef Malak Shehata Ghali is accused of sexually assaulting a patient while he worked at the Centrepointe Family Health Clinic. The female was a patient of his from ap-

proximately December 2013 to May 2014, and the alleged assault took place between January and March 2014. Ghali has a hearing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario sched-

uled for May 24 in Toronto. According to the hearing documents, he allegedly made comments of a sexual nature, kissed the patient and forced other sexual contact on her.

The discipline committee can revoke his licence, levy a fine, or impose any specific conditions on him. Since July 20, 2015, Ghali has been required to not engage with any female patients unless monitored by a female health professional. He hasn’t been allowed to be alone with female patients, and was required to post a sign in examination and consultation rooms that outlined that he can not be alone with female patients. His main practise is currently in Orléans at

4473 Innes Rd. at the Alpha Care Family Health Clinic, and he also has a secondary location in Casselman at 629 Rue Principale. He attended medical school in Egypt, graduating in 1988, before moving to Canada. Staff at the Alpha Care Family Health Clinic answered a phone number provided for Ghali, and said that he didn’t want to comment on the allegations. Ottawa police Const. Chuck Benoit said police wouldn’t confirm or deny if police are investigating Ghali in relation to the allegations.

A one-day blitz by Ottawa police officers on May 15 resulted in 76 tickets for drivers using mobile devices, six for red-light running and 34 for other offenses.

Citywide police blitz nabs 76 drivers Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A one-day blitz by Ottawa police officers on May 15 aimed at targeting distracted drivers was a success – depending on how you look at it. Officers handed out 76 tickets for drivers using handheld devices, another six for red-light running and 34 other Highway Traffic Act offenses. Traffic officer Sgt. Eddy Yeoumans said the blitz was part of a provincial drive safe campaign. “The slogan is risk takers, meet undertakers,” he said. “It just doesn’t seem to be getting better.” The ban on using handheld devices while driving was enacted in 2009, but Yeoumans said the problem doesn’t seem to be getting any better. A 2015 public survey by the Ottawa police identified distracted driving as the number one concern for residents. “People know it’s illegal, but they just can’t seem to put the phones down,” Yeoumans said, 38

Ottawa West News - Thursday, May 26, 2016

adding that when people are stopped they know it’s illegal because the first thing they do is put down their hands or ditch the phone once they hear the sirens. “The excuse always is that call or text is very important,” Yeoumans said. Yeoumans said the behaviour of a distracted driver is just like that of someone who is drunk behind the wheel. “The car is weaving or they’re at a red light and they don’t notice when it turns green, so it holds up traffic behind them,” he said. “They just don’t realize how distracted they are on the road. It only takes a moment to cause a collision.” Enforcement and education are key to getting people to put their phones down and keep their eyes on the road, Yeoumans said. “Hopefully, they get a ticket and they tell their friends and co-workers and it makes people hesitate,” he said. “Or the kids in the backseat tell their parents to put the phones down.”

Committee hears updated youth action plan for 2016 GRAND OPENING Working group identifies transportation, access to recreation as key themes Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

OC Transpo could explore the feasibility of an affordable bus pass this year, as a result of a report by the city’s youth engagement committee. The report was released to the community and protective services committee on May 19 and laid the groundwork for a two-year youth action plan for 20162018. The engagement committee is is a working group made up of 13 youth aged 16 to 24 from across the city. It was formed in 2013, following a youth summit held by Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

Fleury said the city addressed the initial imbalance of the committee to ensure that members represented all parts of the city. To update the action plan, the committee surveyed 253 youth and came up with four themes: • Communication: More two-way engagement between the city and youth. • Relationships: Connecting youth with their city councillors, community police officers and youth organizations. • Affordable recreation and transportation: Improving available information about recreation programs and affordable access to transit. • Environment: Increasing opportunities to recycle and compost.

The report also recommended ensuring the participation and recognition of young people as part of the 2017 Canada 150 celebrations. The working group suggested a project that would profile 150 community contributors over 150 days using social media as part of the 2017 celebrations. To help with issues around transit and recreation affordability, one of the suggestions was for the engagement committee to work with organizers of youth-specific events to include the cost of transit as part of ticket prices. Other suggestions include raising the age limit for student bus passes from 19 to 24 and a pilot project to allow youth volunteers to participate in free or reduced fee recreation programming. The report was carried by the community and protective services committee and will now be heard by city council.

Door-to-door salespeople making false claims about city’s drinking water Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Has someone knocked at your door knocking down the quality of Ottawa’s drinking water? If so, you’ve likely come face to face with door-todoor salespeople making false claims in the hopes of selling you something you don’t actually need. “The city has received complaints from residents who have been contacted by salespeople of water filtration or treatment systems who are providing incorrect information about

water quality,” the city said in a statement on May 18. “The drinking water delivered to Ottawa residents exceeds all federal and provincial health-based water quality guidelines and standards,” the press release stated. “Ottawa’s drinking water has been rated by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change as being among the safest in the world, and it is continually tested to ensure that those high standards are maintained.” The statement includ-

ed a reminder that city employees don’t contact residents to sell them something, and that any visits by employees would be scheduled in advance, with the exception of emergency situations. As well, municipal employees asking to enter a home have city-issued photo ID cards, and residents are encouraged to ask for these before permitting access. Any suspicious or unsolicited calls or visits should be reported to the Ottawa police by calling 613-2361222.

According to the police, the changes are part of a strategy called the Service Initiative program, which is designed to improve how police serve the community. The consultations will be facilitated sessions, but spaces are limited and it’s recommended that organizations or groups register one participant to act as a delegate. The first session will take place on June 7 at 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Room, at

the Woodvale Pentecostal Church at 205 Greenbank Rd. The second session will take place on June 9 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Festival Boardroom at City Hall. The plan had a controversial element that includes reallocating resources like beat cops, community policing functions and district traffic functions to a “front line functional model.” Acting Supt. Mark Ford, who presented the strategy, said it was about reducing the demand on officers and how the organization can be more efficient co-ordinating front line engagements. At the April 25 meeting many residents, merchants and organizations pleaded with the board to not move ahead with the plan. Jasna Jennings, the executive director of the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area, said with

the complex mix of retail, shelters and social service organizations, there needs to be a single point of contact, with knowledge of the area. “There are so many players, officers have to have a profound knowledge of the area,” she said. Peggy DuCharme, executive director of the Downtown Rideau BIA, said that without a community police officer, there’s the danger of public apathy and unwillingness to report. “You may see less calls for service,” she said. For residents unable to attend, people can provide feedback by completing an online survey, available by visiting ottawapolice.ca or by sending their comments to serviceinitiative@ottawapolice.ca. - With files from Jennifer McIntosh

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, expect to be very busy in the days ahead. Make a concerted effort to be more aware of what’s around you so that you don’t miss a thing. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, financial questions keep popping up and you just keep pushing them aside for later. If need be, work with a professional to establish your goals. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do something out of your comfort zone this week, Gemini. When you do so, you may find out you have a wider array of interests than you first believed. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, just when you think you’ve figured out how to play the game, they go and change all of the rules on you. Adaptability is one of your biggest strengths. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It’s time to make your love life a priority, Leo. If you’re in a relationship, you may find it needs a little nurturing to get it back to the level it was a few months ago. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you come up against things you don’t understand this week, ask people whose opinions you trust for their points of view. Educating yourself will help you move ahead.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Take some time out of your schedule for some much-needed pampering. Whether your idea of special treatment is a massage or simply sleeping in, make it a priority. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Delegation will be your favorite word of the week, Scorpio. When the going gets tough, start delegating the tasks that have you stumped. This will ensure everyone stays productive. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be called upon to lend your special skills to a situation this week. While it may not be a job you relish, you know ultimately it has to get done. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, speak your mind because if you don’t do it others are not going to advocate for your needs. That’s why it’s so important for you to fight for every cause, no matter how small. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, work may be getting on your nerves, but you have to maintain a professional demeanor at all times. It can be challenging, but you will handle it. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a few days away from the daily grind will help you recharge your batteries. Turn off your phone and enjoy the well-deserved respite. 0526
