Residents reject ramp closure Meeting held about potential closure of Carling Avenue ramp to 417 Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

A mess, a disaster, bizarre and a mistake are what residents are calling a proposal to close the ramp providing access from westbound Carling Avenue

to eastbound Highway 417. The Ministry of Transportation is proposing the ramp be closed because of “operational and safety issues.” See RAMP, page 4

Paddlers with Chinatown Showboat push off from the dock at the Rideau Canoe Club on June 15, prior to their Rideau River practice. The enthusiastic fundraisers will once again be taking part in the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival.

Chinatown Showboat gives back on water and land Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

For Team Chinatown Showboat, it’s less about what happens on the water during the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival and more about what happens

year-round on land. The team of paddlers, made up of residents from south Ottawa, Nepean and west Ottawa, have generated $130,000 since their inaugural year on the water in 2002. This year, the team has so far raised more

than $12,000 towards its $20,000 goal in support of the festival’s many Ottawa-based charities. “It’s contagious. Once you get into this, you can’t walk away,” said team captain and Hunt Club-area resident

Richard Martin. “It becomes part of your blood. “It’s a real sense of giving. You find yourself surrounded by really good people who want to give back.” See DRAGON, page 2

The team has been practising for the June 24 to 26 races at Mooney’s Bay every Tuesday night over the past month. For the upcoming festival, they will be dressing as characters from Star Wars. Martin will be dressed as Princess Leia Organa. He’s goodnaturedly dressed as many wellknown female television and film characters over the years. The first year, he paddled as Ginger from Gilligan’s Island. “We decided we wanted a team that was not too serious about racing, but more serious about fundraising and having fun,” said Martin. The costumes have been a big hit over the years. “It really ignited. People just loved this,” he said. “We didn’t care how we did on the water but we were raising awareness and cash. “That set the model.” While some on the team have been with Chinatown Showboat for several years, they also frequently welcome new members and help them with fundraising initiatives. Each must raise a minimum $250 annually. “We work with paddlers to help them achieve that,” Martin said, adding that longtime members help empower the newer paddlers to give back to the community. “It implies a one-way street, but it’s not. It’s very much a circle. We give to our community,” he said. They support one another,

pitching in to help with different events, ranging from car washes and pub nights to a fundraising Chinese New Year dinner every January in Chinatown. They donate proceeds to Chinatown charities and in return the Chinatown BIA covers the team’s festival registration fees. The team also volunteers with Ottawa’s Helping With Furniture, which gives furniture and other supplies to people in need. The paddlers also dress up as zodiac animals during the annual Chinese New Year parade. “You need to actually produce a set of hands, a warm soul when it comes to fundraising,” Martin said of the team effort. “We expect people to be on the ground as well.” Last year, Chinatown Showboat raised about $24,000 for the dragon boat festival’s chosen charities. “That’s what keeps us going year round: what do you do the other 11 months of the year?” he said. “We keep the fundraising going and we have a lot of fun with it.” To learn more about Team Chinatown Showboat, visit teamshowboat.org. The Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival will be held on the Rideau River and on the shore at Mooney’s Bay Park. The entertainment gets underway on June 23 and continues until June 26. Racing takes place June 24 to 26. Visit dragonboat.net for more information.

Ramp sees 194 crashes in 11 years Continued from page 1

Those issues were presented at a public information centre at Kitchissippi United Church on June 16, where residents could ask questions and provide comments about the project, which affects a ramp just west of Westgate Shopping Centre. The MTO says the ramp has low peak volumes – 360 vehicles during each peak morning hour and 250 vehicles during each peak evening hour – as compared to the Carling ramp east of Kirkwood Avenue, which handles 1,175 and 800 respectively. Between 2002 and 2013, there was one fatality at the ramp, 36 injuries and a total of 194 crashes. “I’ve used that ramp for 31 years,” said Laurie Weir, who lives near Island Park Drive and Helena Street. “I’ve never seen an acci-

dent and never had an issue getting on the highway. I don’t find it’s a danger,” she said. According to the presentation, the ramp is short and doesn’t allow drivers to get up to highway speeds and merge. The issues with the ramp will be amplified if the highway is widened; another provincial project that’s been announced. Two alternative designs have been put forward, but neither is recommended because they are “substandard configurations” that don’t mitigate safety concerns, require extensive utility relocations and limit the ability of vehicles to get to highway speed. What surprised River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington most at the public meeting was there were no reports about the traffic impacts on nearby city streets. If the ramp is

closed, drivers westbound on Carling would have to follow a more circuitous route to reach Highway 417’s eastbound lanes. “That’s a problem for me,” Brockington said. He said ministry and consulting staff admitted they had not considered the local impact. He’s also concerned about the planned expansion of the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus and the redevelopment of the Westgate Mall property, which could bring an influx of people moving to the neighbourhood and more drivers. Brockington doesn’t deny the two ramps are close – there are about 280 metres between them. “I’m not convinced of the necessity,” he said, adding the ramp has been that way for decades.

Highway 417 widening won’t solve congestion issues: Leiper Continued from page 4

SUBMITTED

This illustration shows the ramp that would be closed as part of the province’s plan to widen Highway 417.

Allan Silburt, who lives on Kenilworth Street, got notice of the province’s plan and said he couldn’t make sense of it. “Even under their pseudologic it seems like a bad idea,” Silburt said. He added that a nearby exit ramp requires drivers to jockey across four lanes of Carling Avenue to reach northbound Kirkwood, and can be more of a challenge than getting onto the highway via a short ramp. “This doesn’t solve a big problem, but creates a big problem,” he said. Kalin Payne lives on Coldrey Avenue and is worried his residential street will be used as a bypass if the ramp is closed. Coldrey Avenue has a seniors residence and a school on it. “This will be a nightmare for residents,” Payne said adding, he’s concerned local residents may not be listened to. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said he’s confident residents will be heard, but en-

“Do these kinds of things typically end well? Usually not,” she says of the trend. Real estate prices in cities within proximity to Toronto and Vancouver are also going up, as homebuyers seek more affordable alternatives, but it’s a phenomenon isolated to only Ontario and B.C., Cooper says. The overall Canadian economy is still struggling to recover from the decline in oil prices. Cooper says that’s the reason the Bank of Canada will keep interest rates low. “The economy is still underperforming and the Bank of Canada is likely not going to be raising interest rates this year.”

Sherry Cooper: Homeowners Should Be Mindful of Changes in the Market

The issue on everybody’s mind now, she says, is housing affordability in both Toronto and Vancouver, where some panic buying in the wake of the rising inflow of foreign capital has pushed prices further up.

By Gordon Hamilton An expected increase in U.S. interest rates may not be repeated in Canada this year says Sherry Cooper, chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres. Another year of low interest rates means homeowners can defer worries about escalating mortgage payments, but even when rates do start to climb, Cooper expects the Dr. Sherry Cooper increases will be moderate and Chief Economist for gradual. Dominion Lending Centres

The exodus of buyers to other B.C. and Ontario locations in search of affordable housing has driven up prices there as well. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. warns in its most recent report on the Hamilton-Burlington region, for example, that there is evidence of overheating as Torontonians are moving further afield. Prices, according to one indicator tracked by CMHC, were up 8.8 per cent in 2015 and continue to be under substantial upward pressure. Similarly in BC, prices are rising in regions around Vancouver as well as in Victoria. For example, house prices in Victoria are reported to have risen a whopping 19 per cent year-overyear in May.

Where homeowners should be evaluating risks, she says, is over the dramatic jump in real estate prices in Vancouver and Toronto, where foreign investment has been a factor driving the markets. Cooper believes there are real risks to home equity if that investment pipeline is closed, even partially. In those red-hot markets, some buyers are bidding above the asking price in emotionally loaded bidding wars.

Even with interest rates at generational low levels, homeowners with high household debt relative to their income are heavily exposed to the risk of rising interest rates, a potential future market correction, not to mention a slowdown in economic activity that might jeopardize their ability to make mortgage payments, Cooper says. A housing correction in these red-hot markets could cause a sudden

couraged residents to provide written comments. “We are all concerned about the impact of local traffic,” Leiper said of Kirkwood and Parkwood avenues. “This is being driven by a (Highway 417) widening that will not address the congestion west-enders justifyingly complain about,” he said, adding he feels the widening shouldn’t happen. Barring that, he’s hoping t h e publ i c p ro cess will

bring out creative solutions the province takes a serious look at before moving forward. “We’re not panicking yet,” he said. Next, an environmental study report will be completed. If the ramp closure goes ahead, the tender for construction will be released this fall.

drop in home prices, which could be devastating when it comes time to renew mortgages, regardless of interest rates. “That’s where the real risks are,” she says. “That’s where getting advice from financial planners and an accredited mortgage professional becomes really important.” So far, affordability is only a major issue in Vancouver, Toronto and their neighbouring regions. Prices in other parts of the country, Cooper says, are not rising as rapidly, while provinces affected by the drop in oil prices – Alberta, Newfoundland and western Saskatchewan, are experiencing house price declines. Ottawa, where sales are keeping pace with the housing supply, is showing no signs of either rapidly escalating prices or a migration of homebuyers to the suburbs. In Montreal, the housing supply remains high, keeping prices from escalating, while in the Halifax region, average prices varied by housing type and sub-region. Prices are up in Halifax City, but down in neighbouring Dartmouth. But returning back to the whole country, roughly 70 per cent of Canadian households own their own home, says Cooper, and by far the majority enjoys a sufficient equity cushion to withstand a temporary correction.

OPINION

Specializing in free play good for our children

s a parent, I always find it a tricky balance to encourage my children’s extracurricular activities, while maintaining enough free time in their schedules – and mine. The kids have a wide variety of interests and abundant energy. It’s often easier to sign them up, drop them off and let somebody else organize and channel that energy for a few hours, especially on long summer evenings. But increasingly research suggests the key to mastering sport in a creative and talented way is to let kids play and engage in a variety of activities. Even more important, they should be exposed to a number of unstructured activities – not always in a team, not always with an adult

until they were 19 or older. Three quarters of respondents played three or more sports until the age of 12, and nearly half continued to play multiple sports even after choosing to specialize in ski racing in their late teens. Perhaps most telling, when asked “what percentage of all your sports time as a child was unorganized or ‘free play,’ 71 per cent said half of their time was spent in unstructured play. In fact, the more hands-off parents and adults are, the more we can give the kids a taste of structure and team play and then let them get on with it, the better. I remember my middle child’s interest in soccer wavering a few years ago. I was disappointed because it’s a sport I love and I thought he had a natural affinity for it. Admittedly, I was probably pushing him too hard, signing him up for every camp and workshop around, when all

instructing their moves, but in free play. The latest to support this comes from U.S. consulting firm Leever Partners. Researchers surveyed 127 of elite alpine ski racers from around the world to try to determine what contributed to their greatness. The research found that support of family and friends, proximity to mountains, and starting early were common keys to success for skiers. But the research contained a few surprises as well. Although 77 per cent of respondents were skiing by age three, for example, the majority claimed they didn’t specialize in alpine ski racing

he really wanted to do was play the game. Fortunately, the 2014 FIFA World Cup did a lot to inspire him to keep at it, particularly the ads showing kids in Brazil using anything they could find – rolled up newspaper, a piece of fruit – to practice soccer tricks in the street. No surprise that Brazil breeds some of the top soccer players in the world. CBC ensured my child recognized that becoming a top footballer wasn’t about access to money, playing competitive sports early or having the best equipment, but just playing with the ball whenever you have a chance. PRACTICING

He took it to heart. I’ve never taken the time to calculate it, but I would guess my son spends multiple hours per week every spring and summer practicing his soccer tricks in the side

yard, once in a while engaging his brother to play net between trees so he can hone his kick. He plays on a recreational team a couple evenings a week, but while some parents are paying their kids to score points (yes, this happens), my son is intrinsically motivated to play his best every time because he loves the game. I don’t anticipate my kids will become elite athletes or career musicians, but I want them to approach their hobbies with a love that will contribute to lifelong interest and creativity. The best way for them to lose interest, particularly as young adolescents, is to push them to eat, sleep and breathe one particular organized sport. There is much to suggest that parents who push their kids to specialize too early may actually cause their kids to burnout and hate sports as teens, leading them to quit altogether. Let’s face it — nobody wants that.

In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning and Growth Management department of the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law amendment (ZBA) affect residential properties city wide. The purpose of the proposed OPA is to adjust an existing policy within Section 3.1 and Section 2.5.2 of the Official Plan to allow Coach Houses as an appropriate form of secondary infill housing. The proposed policy direction sets forward the framework for how to allow coach houses on residential lots throughout the City. The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to provide performance standards to implement the proposed policy direction for coach houses as a permitted residential use for properties which have a detached, semi-detached, linked detached, duplex or rowhouse dwelling as the primary dwelling on the lot. Changes to Section 133 secondary dwelling units will provide the performance standards to allow coach houses. Supplementary changes are required throughout the By-law to ensure that existing provisions do not conflict with this new permitted use. The land to which the proposed OPA (file No. D01-01-15-0002) applies is also subject to the proposed ZBLA (file No. D02-02-15-0021). To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner or go to ottawa.ca/coachhouses. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by July 22, 2016. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Ailing MP rises to the occasion

very time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger is seen in public these days it is a shocking sight. The deterioration to his body has been exceedingly swift since he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosisÂ (ALS) shortly after last fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that Belanger canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still get things done. On June 15, Belangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time effort to have the words changed in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national anthem to be more gender neutral â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from â&#x20AC;&#x153;True patriot love in all thy sons commandâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;True patriot love in all of us commandâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was approved by a vote in the House of Commons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just two words â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would replace â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thy sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Belanger said in his spring newsletter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These two words would make our national anthem more inclusive and pay tribute to all the women who have helped to shape our society. I believe it is important for our national anthem to finally recognize their contribution.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many thanks to my colleagues for their unequivocal support demonstrated in the final vote in the House of Commons on my Bill C-210,â&#x20AC;? Belanger wrote in a Facebook post on June 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly believe that Canadians now are ready

for an inclusive national anthem. On the eve of celebrating the 150th anniversary of our confederation, it is important that one of our most famous and popular national symbols reflects the progress made in our nation in equality between men and the women. Now, C-210 will be sent to the Senate of Canada for the next steps.â&#x20AC;? There were some MPs who voted against the change, primarily from the Conservative Party, but there were some Conservatives who supported the change as well. Opponents made two basic points: they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thy sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; excludes women, and thus there is no need for gender neutral language, and you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess with the wording of the anthem as a matter of principle. What trumps those arguments against making a change is the fact that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thy sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was not originally in the anthem either. Those words were added during the First World War. If the anthem could be changed in the past, it is not a valid argument now to say the original words are sacred when they are not the original words at all. Belanger is clearly fighting for his life these days. In this fight, though, he also clearly emerged victorious, and he should be proud of that victory.

Never underestimate your local talent

he festival season begins this week in Ottawa with the jazz festival, a welcome beginning to the summer. Bluesfest and others will follow. While music aficionados will debate, as they always do, aspects of the festival line-ups, no one will dispute the joys of hearing live music, especially when it is performed outdoors. For performers of all types of music the festival season brings mixed emotions. On the one hand, there is the excitement of seeing and hearing some of the best Canadian and international singers and instrumentalists perform in front of large crowds. On the other hand, the festival season raises, for local performers, the question of where those crowds are in the off-season.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town The festival season demonstrates that people in Ottawa and the surrounding area love music and will turn out to see it performed live â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even, I would venture to guess, braving a chewedup downtown to get there. The audiences are out there, for sure. The question is what happens to them in the months when there are no festivals on. Aside from big concerts by international stars, all types of music are starved for audiences. This may have something to do with the fact that local musicians are local, never mind that many are of international

quality. In the old expression, an expert is someone from out of town, and that may apply equally to performers. But Ottawans will still turn out for local performers under certain circumstances. Last week, the jazz festival held something called a 24-Hour Jazz Ramble featuring local performers at the Record Centre in Hintonburg. (Disclosure: I was, briefly, one of them.) The place was packed and audiences spilled out onto the street, particularly in the evening. True, it was a special event, well-promoted in local media, it was a warm and pleasant night, and various prizes were on offer. But still, it did seem to demonstrate that the potential for support of local performers exists. The trick is to unlock that potential, to get the people out supporting the arts when there is DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 5SBDJ $BNFSPO ADMINISTRATION: %POOB 5IFSJFO HOME BUILDERS ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST (FPGG )BNJMUPO DISPLAY ADVERTISING: (JTFMF (PEJO ,BOBUB 3BOEZ 0MNTUFBE 0UUBXB 8FTU $JOEZ (JMCFSU 0UUBXB 4PVUI $BSMZ .D(IJF 0UUBXB &BTU +JMM .BSUJO /FQFBO $BUIFSJOF -PXUIJBO #BSSIBWFO #FMMT $PSOFST .JLF 4UPPEMFZ 4UJUUTWJMMF "OOJF %BWJT 0UUBXB 8FTU 3JDP $PSTJ "VUPNPUJWF $POTVMUBOU #MBJS ,JSLQBUSJDL 0SMFBOT CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: 4IBSPO 3VTTFMM

no festival, no special event, no big-name star from out of town. The obstacles are formidable, here as elsewhere. There is much to keep to people at home. The Internet is infinitely amusing. TV screens have become large and the range of viewing choices has expanded substantially. Both children and adults participate in sports. Plus, people are busy at work, tired when they get home, disinclined to go out, particularly when the weather is cold. Under the proper circumstances, you can get them out of the house. The trick is to create more of those circumstances. Promoters and club owners need to be more creative and more energetic in informing the public about what they are presenting. Right now, many club owners are entirely passive, leaving it to the performers to promote themselves. In addition, local media need to pay more attention to local

performers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a demonstrated fact that a good plug on, say, CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All in a Day, can bring crowds for local performers. For all local media, a little less focus on Hollywood celebrities and a little more on the artists in our community might have a positive impact. The rest of us just need to get out more.

Low income bus passes debated Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Routes, signals and stations were all discussed at the transit committee at city hall on June 15, but the sticking topic was fares and the creation of a low-income bus pass. Staff proposed a new fare table that eliminated express fare charges, increased a $6.50 a month increase, and didn’t include a low-income pass. A low-income pass, at just over $40 a month for low-income individuals, would cost $3.3 million to implement. There was debate over how the city could find the resources to pay for the bill, with several public speakers proposing ideas and alternatives. Proposals included removing discounts for students and seniors to fund it, keeping express fares, or raising the price of a regular adult pass. The bottom line was to be able to fund the lowincome pass, something’s got to give, and there wasn’t an easy solution. Still, many speakers spoke in support of the city buckling down to find a way to fund it if the province does not. “You are making it impossible for them to conduct a real life,” said speaker Heather Stetcher, of the lack of a low-in-

come transit pass. “Transit is not a social service, transit is a vital service.” OC Transpo does offer a discounted pass to those who receive Ontario disability support payments. Orléans’ Miranda Gray said that OC Transpo has to improve the user experience for those paying for full-priced, adult passes, in order to gain the ridership and profits needed. “We can’t possibility fund more for our users who don’t have the money, unless we have these people at the top,” she said. “Until we improve the customer experience, we can’t do things for the users who need it the most… the experience has got much worse during construction.” OC Transpo has seen a decline in transit ridership that’s similar to declines in major cities across Canada. There was a fair change that did make a group happy: the removal of the additional fee to use Para Transpo. Stetcher said she applauded staff for making the system more accessible for those who rely on Para Transpo. The staff ’s plan – without a low income pass – was approved at commission, but the city plans to ask the province to foot the bill, and commissioners can revisit the issue in the fall during

budget talks to see if the city can find the funds. “I urge you to think creatively, and with a good heart in listening carefully to the people who are asking (for the low income pass),” said Kanata’s Trevor Haché with the Healthy Transportation Coalition. New fares will take effect on Jan. 1, 2017.

CityFolk returns to Lansdowne for second year michelle.nash@metroland.com

CityFolk is returning to Lansdowne Park with a jampacked line-up in September, and a promise of an even better experience for festival devotees this year. CityFolk, the city’s annual folk festival with takes place Sept. 15 through Sept. 18, announced its preliminary lineup on June 14, a lineup that has plenty of performers but not the big names acts such as Van Morrison, Wilco or Lucinda Williams that graced the main stage at Lansdowne a year ago. But festival organizer Mark Monahan said leading up to this year’s event, tweaks have been made to help ensure this CityFolk festival will offer ticket holders more music with less hassle. “There will be one entrance, at Aberdeen for tickets to get scanned,” Monahan said, explaining that no longer with long waits to

try and get in and out and around the park interfere with music lovers enjoying the festival. “Returning to Lansdowne Park provides us, once again, with an accessible worldclass venue that matches up nicely with our mandate of offering an exceptional festival experience,” Monahan said. CityFolk, formally known as the Folk Festival, moved from Hog’s Back Park to Lansdowne in 2015. Monahan said the Glebe location offers a lot of perks. “We intend to open the site up a little more,” Monahan said. Ticket holders will have access to performances on the main stage on the Great Lawn at Lansdowne, and performances on a new stage in the Aberdeen Pavilion, which will showcase performers and also feature a food and micro-brew experience. There will also be a children’s area open to the pub-

lic, which aims to offer numerous family activities. Organizers expect attendance this year to exceed 50,000. Confirmed acts to date include: * The New Pornographers * Vance Joy * James Bay * Bryson Tiller * Dropkick Murphys * X Ambassadors * Dean Brody * Lake Street Dive * Joey Bada$$ * Basia Bulat * Dan Mangan * Michael Bernard Fitzgerald * Plants and Animals * Vanilla Fudge * Marlon Williams * Julien Baker * Guided By Voices * Hat Fitz and Cara * SonReal * Rayland Baxter * John Moreland * Fred Penner * Charlotte Cardin * Blind Pilot * April Verch Band

Public school board approves $865-million budget Staff

The OCDSB approved an $864.8-million budget for the 201617 school year in a board meeting on June 13. Representing almost 74 per cent of the budget, instruction is the area of that will see the most funding, with $636.7 million allocated to it. The budget also allocates $88.2 million to school facilities, $40.8 million to amortization, $37.9 million to transportation, $18.3 million to central administration, $16.3 million in extended day and childcare, $9.7 million in debt repayment and $9.6 million to continuing education. Board staff said the 2016-17 budget fulfills the second year of a three year plan to more closely align spending with Ministry of Education funding levels. Part “It was a challenging budget,” said board chair Shirley Seward. “But under the direction of Budget Chair Keith Penny, trustees worked diligently to identify budget changes that aligned with the District’s core mandate. All decisions were looked at through the lens of equity, while respecting the fiscal realities facing the District.”

Despite being forced to curb spending and cut jobs, the board will continue to grow in September 2016, with three new elementary schools poised to open across the city. The district will also begin a multi-year accommodation review in order to identify opportunities for improvement within board FILE schools, like consolidating space The Ottawa Carleton District School Board approved a tough budget and redirecting savings toward stuof $864.8 million for its 2016-17 school year in a meeting on June 13. dent services.

Two days before Christmas, Herbert Greenidge was shopping for a present for his daughter at the Carlingwood Mall when he heard something that sounded like gunshots. Everyone who heard the sound ran for cover, but Greenidge couldn’t ignore the cries for help as three masked men smashed the glass showcases in the Charmed Diamond Centre jewelry store with a two-kilogram sledge hammer and a couple of claw hammers. “I felt like I had no choice,” said Greenidge. He rushed to the jewelry store and confronted the thieves. “As I went in, my intention was to yell. Before I had a chance to even say anything, one guy came at me with the sledge hammer and tried to hit me five times.”

Having missed, the suspect went back to the jewelry case to steal a ring. “I made a move to go towards him and he cut his arm on the glass.” Injured, the suspect ran towards the exit, and when Greenidge turned to follow him, Greenidge collided with a second masked man. “I bumped right into him and he was just as shocked as I was,” Greenidge said. “He tried to hit me with a claw hammer, I swear he missed my head by one inch,” he said. Greenidge punched the man to get him to move back and the suspect dove under Greenidge’s arm before making a run for it. “He went full speed into the door,” Greenidge said of the suspect crashing into the door; it caused him to drop his haul of jewelry. The pair of thieves ran straight to their getaway car

just outside the mall’s doors. Police suspect the same perpetrators hit another jewelry store on Jan. 4, this time in the Billings Bridge mall, where they were able to snatch $130,000 in jewelry, Greenidge said. Although the Carlingwood robbery happened months ago, Greenidge was recently recognized with a certificate of merit during the 2016 Community Police Awards. He was recognized alongside other community members for performing unselfish acts, providing assistance or demonstrating a unique concern for safety of the community or an individual. Police say he helped mitigate the loss of merchandise by his actions. “I did what I felt I had to do,” Greenidge said. “I wasn’t just going to stand there and run away.” See POLICE, page 23

Herbert Greenidge, third from left, receives a certificate of merit during the Community Police Awards on May 31. Greenidge was thanked for helping when a jewelry store in Carlingwood Mall was robbed by assailants using hammers on Dec. 23, 2015. From left are Ottawa police Chief Charles Bourdeleau, then-Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Yasir Naqvi, and police services chairman, Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

Police continue to look for robbery suspects involved Continued from page 22

After police reviewed the security video, officers had some words with him. “You’re a brave man,” they told him. “Not everyone would do that.” Despite Greenidge’s efforts, the suspects were never caught, although investigations into both robberies remain open, according to Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch. Police don’t recommend everyone act as Greenidge did; instead they suggest you allow thieves and robbers to get in and out as quickly as possible. Haarbosch said Greenidge was able to reduce the amount of jewelry stolen.

“People do what they are comfortable with, but even in this case they were carrying hammers, but they might also have had something else and it would have escalated quickly,” he said. Police are still looking for the suspects and released some of the footage from the robbery online. It can be viewed at http:// tinyurl.com/za4l4xa. The suspects are described as black males between 18 and 25 years old. They also released a description of a person of interest to the case that may have purchased a hammer before the Jan. 4 robbery. He is described as being between 18 and 25 years old, with light brown complexion, slim

build and with dark puffy hair. Anyone with information about these robberies is asked to contact the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477or by downloading the Ottawa Police app. The Community Police Awards ceremony was hosted by the Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau and police services board chair Eli El-Chiantiry. Several awards were handed out at the event, including the certificate of valour, certificate of merit, community service awards and the Thomas G. Flanagan scholarship.

Imperfect chorus strikes a chord Choir for people who can’t sing meets at Kitchissippi United Church Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Can’t sing? That’s not a problem for the Pitch (im) Perfect singers – that’s exactly whom the group is looking for. Every other Wednesday night a group of singers – many who admit they can’t sing, but like doing it – gather at the Kitchissippi United Church at 7 p.m. for 90 minutes of laughs, swaying and bobbing and, of course, singing. On June 15, the group of more than 20 took on

songs with references to colour, starting with Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond, Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell and Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones. If someone’s timing was a bit off, or the group started on the wrong beat, quiet laughter could be heard between the notes, before getting back on track. The set list also included Brown Eyed Girl, Red Red Wine, Black Velvet and Blue Suede Shoes. See SINGERS, page 26

Singers let loose with Pitch (im)Perfect Continued from page 25

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

Yusuf Osman and his daughter Leila lead the Pitch (im)Perfect singers in a warmup on June 15. About 20 people attended on that particular Wednesday evening. Participants pay $10 each week for the sheet music, snacks and refreshments.

“I like to sing, but I’m no singer,” Yusuf Osman, who started the group with his family, said before the start of that Wednesday night’s activities. According to a study released earlier this year by Tenovus Cancer Care in the U.K. and the Royal College of Music, singing in a choir for an hour boosts immune system activity in cancer patients and caregivers. It can also reduce stress and improve your mood. Having had cancer, the research hit home with Osman. He wondered if he could have recovered faster, had something like Pitch im(Perfect) existed. Between reading about the benefits of singing in a group and feeling like his life lacked a creative outlet, he thought he would start a choir for people who can’t sing, or for people who can, but don’t want to deal with the pressures of

performing or auditioning for a choir. So it was up to him to start something for others, and for himself. “So much of our society – work or parenting – is full of the pressure to perform, the pressure to do better. This is a place where not being good is good enough,” he said. Living about three minutes away from the United Church, which has excellent acoustics, it made for the perfect venue. Although it was a bit stressful that first night, May 18, not knowing if anyone would show up, Osman said it ended up being a lot of fun. “Three weeks in and I’ve seen some personal growth as well,” Osman said. “The first day I thought I would just stand in the back and mouth the words.” But now, he’s belting the lyrics out with the rest, finding that the choir provides the encouragement

and freedom to participate. “I’m loving it and if I’m liking it, others must be as well.” Linda Seguin, who lives in south Ottawa, loves that Pitch (im)Perfect gives her the opportunity to let loose. “You get such a good feeling from singing with a choir and you don’t (often) get that opportunity,” Seguin said. “We all sing home alone in the shower, but with a group it has a different energy and it makes you feel good.” She added it’s a good distraction from your troubles or chores and “it puts a spring in your step.” The group sings popular songs from Justin Bieber to Dean Martin. The idea to focus the set list on a theme has taken off since the group started getting together. Next up, for the meeting on June 29, will be songs by Canadians. The season of singing wraps up on

July 27 with favourites. One of the best parts of starting Pitch (im)Perfect is people are actually coming, Osman said. Many suggested the group would flop because people don’t like to put themselves in uncomfortable situations. “People want this and it’s such a fun thing that stretches you a little bit,” he said. Osman is hoping to restart in September, perhaps with rotating locations. “The funny thing is when I talk with people about it, they say they can’t sing. They still think it’s not for them, so we still have some work to do breaking down the barriers a little more,” Osman said. Singers pay $10 each week to cover the cost of the tracks, copies of lyrics, refreshments and a snack. For more information about the group, visit its webpage at www.pitchimperfectsingers.com.

By next March, public school board trustees will make their decision about which west-end schools will stay and which ones will go. A staff report indicates as many as six west-end elementary schools and one high school could close following the completion of the first two accommodation reviews, starting this September. Those two reviews include 22 elementary schools and four high schools in the west, as well as three eastend high schools – Rideau, Gloucester and Colonel By. Those reviews are part of a five-year plan that includes reviews of seven areas, beginning this year. The closures would save the board up to $2 million in the first year, according to

the report. The changes would come into effect in September 2017. “These are not going to be easy processes at all and we will have our eyes wide open,” said Shirley Seward, chair of the board. Seward said the focus of the reviews is to make the schools better learning environments and provide a greater selection of programming and French options for high school students. “What makes me get up in the morning is I’m looking forward to how much better each of the schools is at the end of the process,” Seward said. The board is undertaking a new process for accommodation reviews, as required by the province. It’s a 100day process that includes the initial report with recommendations, public consul-

tations, an advisory group with parent representation, and meetings set out for public delegations before the final decision is made. “In my experience as a trustee, consultation matters very much. That’s why we do it,” Seward said. An older system lead to disappointment when the recommendations didn’t match, she said. “This is very transparent from the outset. It’s a more honest and straightforward process.” Starting any kind of accommodation review is sensitive, Seward acknowledged. “People get very attached to their community school building and location and that’s why it gets emotional,” she said. “I think if this time people know something very different is leading the process – not just saving money

or cutting costs, but a vision to improve student learning for children – that will help.” When it comes to looking at the three east-end high schools, both school board trustees for the area were hesitant to speculate which school could be left standing at the end of this review. “I have been telling folks in my area that there will be school closures,” said Alta Vista-Rideau Rockcliffe trustee Chris Ellis. This isn’t the first time these three schools have been up for an accommodation review. In 2009, the school board announced it would review the three schools. The communities in each neighbourhood rallied to save the schools, and in turn all three remained open. Ellis fought to keep Rideau open. “I think Rideau is a valuable asset to our community, but if we can’t make sure that Rideau continues to serve the students well, and if we aren’t able to have

The first two of seven accommodation reviews for the public school board will begin this September, which could eliminate as many as six elementary schools and one high school. more students come so that Rideau can offer all the pathways, the current situation is not to the best benefit to students and not acceptable. And Gloucester is in the same situation as well,” said Ellis. “We don’t have the funding flexibility to put in solutions to address low enrolment.” Ellis said he supports the closure of some schools if the changing demographic as well as the best interest

of students is first and foremost. LOW ENROLMENT

Seward said some of the schools are operating at less than 50 per cent capacity. “There’s tremendous variation,” she said, adding areas like Barrhaven and Kanata are growing, while some of the more urban areas aren’t growing as rapidly. See NEW, page 40

Presently, there are three stages, Kidz Zone Stage, Multi-Cultural Stage and the Main Stage. In 2015 the event was incorporated as Canada Day in Barrhaven, has its own insurance and now receives tax benefits that go back to the event. The modern event has continued to be family friendly, with a variety of food vendors, kids’ activities, multicultural shows, Big Bands on stage, an ATM on-site and the whole event is alcohol prohibited. You can take a shuttle bus from Ross’ Independent or come by bicycle and use our secure bike lock-up. Come out, bring your family and friends and have a great day celebrating our country’s birthday.

Canada Day 2016

Go red and white in Stittsville for 2016 Canada Day 2016 in Stittsville once again offers lots of fun activities and entertainment, capped off with a gala fireworks display. It all happens again this year on Canada Day, Friday, July 1, from 3 p.m. onwards on the grounds at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville. Everyone in the community is invited to attend. There is no admission charge and the fun activities and entertainment, along with the fireworks are all free. Take along a lawn chair, pick out a spot on the spacious grounds and celebrate Canada’s birthday listening to a variety of on-stage entertainment, chatting with friends and neighbours and enjoying the fireworks display at the end of the evening as dusk descends on the site. There’s always an opening ceremony with local dignitaries such as the MP, the MPP and the city councillor on hand, capped off with the cutting of a Canada Day birthday cake. Bill Martin, who has lots of experience organizing weekly open mic sessions at the Stittsville Legion, is assembling this year’s onstage entertainment, so you know that it will be enjoyable. There will be lots of inflatable attractions for youngsters to enjoy and everyone, especially youngsters, love the glow sticks that are

handed out just before darkness falls. They fill the grounds with hundreds of bright lights, looking like elongated glow worms. And there will be lots to eat at this year’s Canada Day celebrations. Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria will be on hand with its pizza and other food offerings. And if this were not enough, Pong’s Poutine, that wellknown food wagon on Carp Road, will also be there with its poutine and other food products. The Holy Spirit Parish Knights of Columbus will be present as well, with frozen treats that will really hit the spot on what is hoped to be a sunny, warm day. All of this is being organized again this year by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which gathers together the donations and funds required to stage the event, with costs this year totalling well over $20,000. It is the generosity of local businesses that make this all possible. Many hands make for lighter work and the SVA welcomes volunteers from the community to help out on site, either setting up for the celebrations, helping to run the activities during the day or helping clean up after the event. Anyone interested in helping out and being a volunteer at this year’s Canada Day festivities in Stittsville should contact SVA volunteer co-

ordinator Marilyn Jenkins at 613836-5075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com. These Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville have become a tradition. They initially were held in the area south of the original arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC), offering on-stage entertainment, activities and games and, of course, the windup fire-

works. But construction of the second arena at the GRC, now known as the Matt Bradley Arena, eliminated much of the space used for these Canada Day activities and so the celebrations were moved to the front of Sacred Heart High School adjacent to the Trans Canada Trail. These Canada Day celebrations on the grounds at Sacred Heart

High School are not the only Canada Day activity going on in Stittsville on Canada Day, July 1. There’s also the annual Canada Day breakfast for seniors which takes place at Ottawa Fire Service Station No. 81 on Stittsville Main Street, right beside the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. This is a free event for seniors in Stittsville but those attending must register with the office of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Starting at 8 a.m., the breakfast is always a sea of red as virtually everyone who attends wears something red for the event. Stittsville’s firefighters are on hand to serve those at the breakfast. These Canada Day breakfasts for seniors go back to the 1980’s when then-Goulbourn township mayor Anton Wytenburg launched the initiative. The breakfast would rotate on a yearly basis, one year being held in Richmond and the next year being held in Stittsville. With the amalgamation to create the new city of Ottawa in 2001, this Canada Day breakfast became a Canada Day fixture in Stittsville, hosted by the ward councillor and held in the bays at the Stittsville fire hall on Stittsville Main Street.

The organization will launch its community consultation at the event so the association invites everyone to come out and let them know what they think of the community. Residents who participate will be registered to win prizes. The event is still looking for volunteers to help with activities, and they can reach the association at pineviewottawa@ gmail.com. ORLÉANS

Canada Day this year is going to be a lot different in

Orléans, as organizers announced in January that the Greater Orléans Canada Day celebration had been cancelled. Organizers cited financial and weather-related difficulties among the reasons for the cancellation of the event that was held for the past 11 years. “The real frustration is the financial stress that we’ve been under the last few years that’s been caused by weather,” said board member Fred Sherwin at the time of the cancellation. CUMBERLAND

While Orléans won’t be throwing a Canada Day bash this year, Cumberland’s Baitun Naseer Mosque is hosting a public event and barbecue that all are welcome to attend. Children’s activities start at 7 p.m., with a flag hoisting and national anthem at 8:40 p.m. There will also be guest speakers as well as cake. The barbecue starts at 7:30 p.m. The mosque is at 2620 Market St., Cumberland.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, June 23, 2016

Laser strikes risky Minister of Transport Marc Garneau has launched an awareness campaign to inform Canadians of the dangers and consequences of pointing a laser at aircraft. Pointing a laser at an aircraft is extremely dangerous and puts pilots, passengers and people on the ground at serious risk. Laser strikes distract pilots, cause glare that affects their vision, or worse, temporarily blind them. Pilots often report suffering from eye irritation or light sensitivity after being struck in the eye by a laser, which could seriously affect their ability to fly safely. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Transport Canada is asking the public to report laser strikes to local police if they witness them. Incidents can also be reported to the nearest Transport Canada regional office. Canadians are invited to learn more by using the #NotABrightIdea hashtag or visiting www.tc.gc.ca/NotABrightIdea. In 2015, nearly 600 laser strike incidents were reported to Transport Canada, an increase from the 502 incidents reported in 2014. In 2016, that number stands at 148 incidents, from January to April.

Eight of the 22 elementary schools under review are operating at less than 60 per cent capacity and four are operating at more than 100 per cent. Innes and Beacon HillCyrville trustee Sandra Schwartz said two of the three high schools use less than 42 per cent of their facility, whereas Colonel By is overcrowded. Schwartz said she has reached out to the school councils to discuss the secondary review process, adding she is committed to communicating with parents throughout this review and ensuring every opportunity for parent input. Ellis said he and Schwartz have been in contact. “We will work to get the necessary people around the table and give the opportunity to have their voice heard in this process,”

Ellis said. “I am going into this process not presupposing anything,” Seward said, after the review, each high school would have three pathways – essential skills, applied and academic courses – as well as core, extended French and French immersion. CROWDED

The other thing that’s happening in the west end, said Seward, is the establishment of a second international baccalaureate site. Currently some students take a bus for more than an hour to attend Colonel By – a school that is currently over capacity – as Rideau and Gloucester are suffering from low enrolment. The certification for a new international baccalaureate site takes about two years to complete.

UNDER REVIEW

The schools included in the west-end review are: • Century • Sir Winston Churchill • Meadowlands • Carleton Heights • Leslie Park • Briargreen • Knoxdale • Greenbank • Manordale • Grant Alternative • Churchill Alternative • Bells Corners • Lakeview • Bayshore • D.A. Moodie • Agincourt Road • J.H. Putman • D.

New mental health options available for Ottawans Nicola Hamer

Anyone following the news is likely aware Ontario is facing a mental health crisis, both in lack of services and in the time it takes to access available services, as well as the high cost of treatment. So it is not surprising that a walk-in clinic for mental health counselling is an idea that has recently taken off. Three years ago, counsellors at Jewish Family Services of Ottawa came up with the idea of opening the Walk-In Counselling Clinic. They then co-ordinated with several family service agencies in order to offer these clinics across the greater Ottawa area: Family Services Ottawa, Catholic Family Services, North Renfrew Family Services and Support Services of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. There were initially five locations in greater Ottawa area, but the idea caught

on quickly and three more urban locations were soon opened. Since then, the Walk-In Counselling Clinic has far exceeded its expected target for clients served, as well as growth as a concept. They fill a small part of that huge hole in the provision of mental health services. The concept behind the clinics can be compared to traditional medical walk-in clinics. They are open days, evenings and weekends. Those seeking counselling can show up without an appointment or referral and see a professional counsellor for a 90-minute appointment. And the service is absolutely free. Clients may be required to wait for their turn, but as clinic co-ordinator Mirjana Pobric, says: “The wait for help at our clinics is measured in minutes, not days or months.” This means that those facing a crisis can talk to some-

one immediately. And even though clients cannot book appointments with any particular counsellor, they do have the option of coming back again and choosing to wait to see the same counsellor they saw previously for continuity of care. Further, there is no limit to how frequently someone can return to the clinic. With the expansion of the number of walk-in clinics has also come an expansion in the number of languages in which help is offered. Now, besides English and French, clients can find a counsellor to talk with them in Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic and Somali. “Many of people still don’t realize a service like this is available,” says Pobric. “It is important to get the word out about these clinics, so people know there is somewhere they can turn immediately, without concern for cost.”

Mary learns there’s always something to be done

itting on a straightback kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better. It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception. All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play. And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times. Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and pie crusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb. My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long day ahead of me. Making me even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey

MARY COOK Memories were completely ignoring me and the long sighs. Finally, I could stand it no longer, and that’s when I made my mistake. I said, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Without taking her eyes off the pie crusts, Mother said, “Wonderful. We’re getting low on dishcloths. Get the ball of string out of the cupboard, and knit up a dish cloth.” Well, that wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job was as boring as sitting with

nothing to do. And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul. “Well?” Mother said. It was more of a command than a question. I was in charge of all the string that came into the house. Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string. It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard. I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting

needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair. Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square. Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches! The dishcloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small hanky. My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table. I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon. After about 10 minutes, I was almost asleep in the chair. This was more boring than having nothing to do! Finally, I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later. Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well that I would never get back to the

knitting. ‘You know what I think about quitters,” she said, never taking her eyes off the filled pies. Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it. She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags, which would serve as tea towels. Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making. “Mary would you come over here please? I think this apron is too long for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.” She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again. Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed

Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it. For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model. Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for size. Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer. She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles. I learned a lot that day. I learned that my sister Audrey loved me, and I learned that you never, ever, said to Mother, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Housing First effort making impact on homelessness Michelle Baker Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

If one downtown organization gets its way, homelessness in the city will be a thing of the past. Options Bytown has been working with the homeless for more than 27 years, helping nearly 900 people get out of shelters and into permanent housing over the years. The organization has partnered with the city over the past year for the city’s new Housing First Case Management services, and since then it has seen a significant number of homeless residents placed in permanent housing. “To date we have housed 80 people this year,” said executive director Lorraine Bentley. Bentley said the organization has had success in finding the homeless forever homes over the years, but

the new partnership with the city has made what it has been doing for years a little easier to achieve. Ottawa city council approved a 10-year, $14-million plan to help end homelessness in September 2013. Bentley said the city wanted to house 250 perpetual shelter visitors in two years. “Every day we do this, we are dedicated. Every day we see results,” she said. Options Bytown owns buildings where it places clients as well as working with Ottawa Community Housing and landlords across the city to find clients affordable housing. But getting a roof over their heads, Bentley adds, isn’t the only point – the other is to ensure that roof stays there. “We work on all the issues that have made someone homeless, we also offer onsite supports,” she said.

The not-for-profit organization held its annual general meeting on June 16, sharing news of its recent success. Bentley said Options Bytown will be holding a fundraiser at Whole Foods in the Glebe on June 25, called Donate Your Dime. There will also be two fundraising efforts held in the ByWard Market this summer, on July 9 and July 16, where a booth will be set up and Bentley said the organization will be handing out information about what it is and what it does. In October, it will partner with the Ottawa Little Theatre to sell tickets to the theatre’s Dial M for Murder production. All proceeds, Bentley said, will go to Options Bytown. In addition to fundraising efforts, Bentley said the organization accepts donations through its website at optionsbytown.com.

Pet Adoptions

CISCO (ID# A191513)

Meet Cisco, an easy-going pooch looking for his new best friend. Cisco is a friendly Labrador and Mastiff mix who gets a long great with children. He’d love a new home where he can get lots of yummy treats and have a comfy bed to lounge in. The well behaved Cisco is fully house trained and crate trained. Come to the shelter and meet Cisco, you are sure to fall in love with his sweet eyes and gray muzzle. For more information on Cisco 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.

The Evidence is in: the Benefits of Taking Pets to Work Friday, June 24 is Take Your Pet to Work Day. If you aren’t as lucky as we are at the OHS, and are not yet able to take your pet to work, it may be a bit late to convince your boss that it’s a good idea. If it is too late for this year, maybe you can use the event as a conversation-opener to prepare for next year. Taking a pet to work is about much more than saving employees on the cost of doggy day care. A 2014 Jordan Smith article in Inc. magazine outlined the many benefits of pets in the workplace: increased productivity, communication, and morale, and improvement in the overall health and well-being of employees. The article cites several studies in support of the benefits of a pet-friendly workplace, along with some U.S. corporations that

have become true believers. The companies named found that employees found long working hours more tolerable when they had their pets — or even their co-worker’s pets — by their side. They found that pets promoted staff interactions with colleagues that they otherwise would not have had, leading to a more collaborative workplace. Stress reduction for employees was identified by both studies and the experiences of employers. According to one, “If you are in a position where something is stressful, seeing that wagging tail and puppy smile brightens the day — it can turn around the whole environment.” The research cited is serious. No less than the eminent U.S. Centre for Disease

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:

Control reports that pets can reduce not only stress and loneliness, but also blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Remember, even the most pet-friendly workplaces like the OHS need to know how everything is going to work in advance. It is important to have rules, so that, for example, those few that aren’t keen on your sweet little fur bundle aren’t disturbed, and that no one feeds him without your permission. So, here is your chance. If you have always thought that bringing pets to your workplace was a good idea, now armed with studies and anecdotal experiences, why not mark next June 23 as your personal D-Day?

Grab your cameras, your phones, whatever you have, and show us the things that make you feel grateful before the end of June. We’ll publish your photos in an online show, and hang your photos in our gallery this October. Find our more at http://www.gratitude.gallery/about.html, or watch the video at http://vimeo. com/165327463. Send us your pics and spread the word!

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, it may not be possible to get away for an extended vacation just now, but perhaps a few days away will offer the brief respite you need to get energized. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, professional issues may be stressful, but try to maintain a positive attitude and the issues will soon be resolved. Rely on a trusted colleague to help. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Face tough issues head on, Gemini. No matter the obstacle, you are fully capable of overcoming it. If necessary, ask for some clarification so you can better focus on the tasks at hand. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take some time out of your schedule for a fun day trip or another spontaneous activity that enables you to escape the daily grind and unwind for a little while. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You may need to lend some special skills to a situation this week, Leo. When someone calls on you for help, accept the challenge with dignity and pride. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, make delegation a priority over the next several days. Spread the workload around to lessen some of your burden and to encourage others to contribute.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your mind is set on a new opportunity, but you do not yet have the finances to make it happen. See if you can find an investor or another way to fund the project. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, sometimes you have to take a challenging route even though you desire the easier path. The hard work will be worth it in the end, as you will see shortly. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Helping others is a big part of who you are, Sagittarius. Every effort you put forth will come back to you in time. Enjoy all the moments you have with others. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It’s difficult to fully explain just how busy you are, Capricorn. Start trimming your to-do list so you can maintain your energy and actively involve those around you. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s time to try a few new things, Aquarius. Try a hobby or activity that is out of your comfort zone. You may be surprised at how much this new hobby interests you. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 There’s only so long you can put off financial concerns before they become a big problem, Pisces. Start addressing things today. 0623
