“Love Junk.” Martin has been working to get the band to play Westfest for three years. “With the 15th anniversary and the band’s reunion, I’m a pleased producer,” she said. Funding the free festival hasn’t always been easy.
far from where Westfest had been held for the past two years at Laroche Park. Last year three times the number of people attended over 2016, Martin said. The move to Tom Brown Arena was necessary as decontamination work is planned for Laroche Park, leaving it out of commission for much of 2018. “After moving to Laroche Park I didn’t want to lose the momentum of that exact area,” Martin said. “Even if people still think we’re at Laroche Park, they are going to find us, because we are going to have signage everywhere. It was a bit of a no-brainer …. “It’s a hot location.” The festival will take up the entirety of the site, Martin said. That includes the upstairs arena rental space, which will be used for after parties. “That’s a cool new thing we get to do with this space,” she said. While each year there are fundraisers to help fund the festival, this is the first time Westfest has launched a crowdfunding campaign. It will run until the festival, Martin said. “We’ve never had people donate to Westfest. Westfest is free and it always will be. That’s how we break the barriers to art and music. That’s really important,” she said. But at the same time, music lovers have asked about getting VIP access, something only available to sponsors previously. The crowdfunding campaign gives individuals the opportunity for the same access — and those tickets will be worth it, Martin said. Although only one act has been announced, she said the lineup will be fitting the anniversary year. Headlining on June 9 is Canadian band Pursuit of Happiness, which is also celebrating an anniversary next year — 30 years since the launch of their No. 1 album

The Westboro BIA ended its contract with the festival in 2015, at the time the festival shut down a portion of Richmond Road. “That relationship gave us a big chunk of cash,” she said. But with the change, she was forced to bring the festival back to its roots. “Now we’re growing bigger organically. It’s all about the art and everyone that’s in that space, but we can’t live on love alone.” All the money raised from the campaign will go directly to programming of the festival.

Push for street closure to extend park makes new link possible Continued from page 1
So, when the ice rink is operating, the washrooms at the field house will be open. “I’m really excited by this,” Leiper said, imagining the opportunity for hot chocolate or other treats to be available at the park. Winter trail groomer Dave Adams said he was egging Leiper on to get the street closed. He’ll be grooming a path that doesn’t interfere with the rink. The link to the field house is the first time the trail, which runs the from Canadian War Museum to Dominion Station, has been allowed to pass from NCC to city property. It means there’s a warm place to get geared up for the trail, there’s access to a washroom and it brings the trail closer to the people who use it. That’s one of Adams’ dreams. “One of the weaknesses of the trail last year was there wasn’t a good spot to warm up,” Adams said. “This is a

After conducting a survey of trail users in the spring, Adams was surprised at how many people were driving to access the trail. “We were floored, people are coming from all over and great distances.” The NCC is still considering that plan, Adams said. And, earlier this year, Selby Plains, near Westboro Beach, had about 100 red and sugar maple saplings planted, as part of Canada 150. They were placed with the trail in mind, he said.

expansion. “We’re still struggling for the cash, and I’m worried about over expansion and the project falling down like a house of cards. I want to do it badly, but we can’t afford it.” Adams will be maintaining it with extra hands on deck this year; the team now has three groomers who all volunteer their time.

Peter Adamakos is ready to say goodbye. The Hunt Club resident and professional animator has toiled away for the past two years cataloguing more than 10,000 items he amassed over several decades, preparing them to be sold off at what is being billed as the ‘Animation Celebration’ at Algonquin College Nov. 4 and 5. “I’ve come to grips with it, mostly because if I haven’t looked at a book in 20 years, I think it’s time to pass it on to someone who can enjoy it,” said Adamakos, who still teaches animation at the Ottawa School of Art and runs his own award-winning animation company, Disada. “It’s time to let go or have them pry it out of my hands.” His vintage animation items, including original artwork, books, movie posters, records, colouring and comic books and toys dating back to the 1930s, will be sold in support of three charities: the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Fire Prevention Canada and one chosen from a list of 15 by show attendees. The collection is unrivalled. That’s why museums have tapped Adamakos over the years to borrow treasures for exhibits. He’s also donated items to the Academy of Motion Pictures. As well, Disney has also asked for rare items for its archives, such as images from Steamboat Willy and the Jungle Book. “We probably have the best representation in Canada, but now it’s getting into the hands of the people who appreciate it,” said Adamakos. “I think that’s where it belongs. I’ve been the caretaker for many years.” Adamakos can fill almost any request for original artwork and other memorabilia, such as Pinocchio, Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Felix

the Cat, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Cinderella and the Flintstones. “They’ll be able to have real touchstones of the history of their favourite character or film,” he said. “They’ll find Dumbo and they’ll find Nemo – old and new.” Prices range from $1 for stickers dating back to the 1960s and buttons featuring Mickey Mouse from the 1930s, as well as artwork priced in the thousands. Adamakos remembers a time in the 1970s when he was among a handful of people from Canada and the United States who collected animation art. “We’d buy and sell and trade to each other for ridiculously low prices,” he said.

Infill numbers are in for Kitchissippi Ward By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
When city staff responded to Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper’s request for infill statistics, the numbers surprised him. Using approvals for minor variances and severances, the numbers show that since 2012 Leiper’s ward has 42 per cent of the urban area’s applications. “I’ve had a feeling since the beginning of this term of council the level of infill activity was high in this ward compared to others, but I hadn’t realized that in some years it was almost the equivalent of our other urban wards combined,” Leiper said. “It was surprising to me.” The amount of infill has come with problems and complaints. In the same document, staff detailed the number of
infill-related service requests – again, the majority coming from Kitchissippi. Of the 213 complaints called into the city since 2012, 53 per cent related to infill came from the ward. Specifically, when it comes to stormwater drainage concerns, 82 per cent were from Kitchissippi. Leiper was quick to point out that the numbers are not absolute. Using variances as a proxy includes projects like a new parking space or enclosing a front porch, but he said there’s no reason to believe that happens more in Kitchissippi than the other wards. It’s no surprise infill developers are choosing Kitchissippi, Leiper said. There are five new LRT stations planned for the area, there are walkable mainstreets and the ward is full of modest-sized homes on relatively large lots, he added.
“In other parts of the urban area you don’t have that same infill potential. So it’s understandable why that level of infill activity is occurring here.” With numbers now in hand, he’s hoping his colleagues will start to understand why he and his constituents are so vocal when it comes to infill. It could help with what Leiper said is a lack of empathy around infill. And he’s hoping it will bolster his push for reviewing planning practices. “I need colleagues to understand that what we are experiencing here is not just a few one-offs. There’s enough activity here that we are able to identify some systemic trends that others might not when they have less infill activity,” he said. See KITCHISSIPPI, page 7

Kitchissippi Ward sees high number of infill-related complaints Continued from page 6
“(The statistics are) start making that argument for a more nuanced treatment of intensification, recognizing that most of it is really happening in Kitchissippi Ward.” Leiper pointed to the need for neighbourhood level planning, instead of looking at policies just for inside and outside the Greenbelt, or along or not along a transit corridor. “Inside and outside the Greenbelt misses some very important neighbourhood nuance,” Leiper said. During the debate about the Rosemount library, advocates for a new, bigger location looked at growth specific to Hintonburg to show the need for a new facility. The information was at odds with the projections for growth in the central west geographic area used for the
business case. Of the infill statistics, Leiper said, “This sort of quantitative evidence is the kind of thing I need to do to build a case for a new approach to official planning and development charge bylaws and granular planning policies.” And the number of complaints helps with Leiper’s push to create a system for more accountability for builders. “It helps me make the argument that those bad builders’ behaviours are not just one-offs. If you are in a ward that has much less infill activity, you might be seeing the occasional instance of bad builder behaviour. But what we are seeing, because the denominator is so big in our ward, is a systemic problem that others might not be able to identify.” Leiper has been working with the home builders as-
sociation and other groups to figure out a way to reward good builders and name and shame the bad ones. While he originally had the idea to have builders fund an ombudsperson, that’s officially off the table. “They are taking seriously the suggestion of giving us some way of identifying good builders and if we can do that in a way that is rigorous and transparent and clear.” The home builders association and other groups are also working on seeing whether it’s possible to create a smoother approvals process for identified builders. But at a recent meeting of interested parties, there was no question there’s a problem to address, Leiper said. “We all recognize that there are bad builders out there and they are giving the industry and the city a black eye.”

Nothing veiled in Bill 62 racism threat
Q
uebec’s Bill 62 barring those who choose to cover their face from receiving public services is, as Mayor Watson has written to Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, an infringement of the fundamental Charter right of freedom of individuals to express their religion in the manner they choose and discriminates against women who choose to express that freedom. But the mayor is being nice. It is much more than that — it is racism and bigotry, wrapped up in a false claim it is being done for public safety reasons. There is absolutely no evidence that covering one’s face in any way is a precursor of violent behaviour. We are somewhat disappointed in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s rather weak response to this discriminatory action by the Quebec government. He should be coming out forcefully and unequivocally against this law as he has a responsibility to defend Canadian values and to battle so-called “values” politics like this wherever it might raise its ugly head. This is not something to play politics with, worrying about winning or losing votes in Quebec. Rather, this is something that goes to the very core of our Canadian beliefs and must be opposed as strongly and firmly as possible. There is just no place in Canada for such feelings of racism, bigotry and discrimination against women. It is even more important to quash this racism and bigotry in its tracks right now, not only because
of this new law in Quebec, but in light of the new Statistics Canada data about Canada’s population. The data shows that Canada is more diverse than ever, with 22 per cent of Canadians now identifying themselves as part of a visible minority. In addition, the Indigenous population is growing rapidly and more and more immigrants are arriving in Canada, coming from countries like China and India rather than traditional northern European nations. These trends are going to continue, with Statistics Canada estimating that by the year 2036, visible minorities will represent more than 35 per cent of Canada’s population. This will require all those in society to be tolerant, welcoming and accepting of such rapid change. These are all traits Canadians as a whole accept today as evidenced by the recent outpouring of support for Syrian refugee families. Indeed, Prime Minister Trudeau has often remarked on this openness and tolerance of Canadians. In such a scenario and facing such a future, there is no room for the racism and bigotry that is evidenced by Quebec’s law barring public services to those who cover their faces due to their belief system. That’s why such pandering to society’s base racist instincts must be stopped now. This is a cutand-dried issue — there is no grey area here. You either believe in fairness, equity and tolerance or you don’t. There is no place for a law like Quebec’s Bill 62.

t is said that more than 1.3 million people saw the MosaiCanada 150 exhibition at Jacques Cartier Park in Gatineau during the three-and-a-half months of the show. Large crowds trooped in awe through horticultural depictions of famous Canadian scenes and moments. To the untrained eye, it was difficult to tell whether we were seeing something spectacularly beautiful or spectacularly kitschy, but either way it was spectacular and people seemed to love it. You could tell that by the way they kept stopping on their way around the park to have their pictures taken. As each new spectacle approached — Jos Montferrand, a Mountie on a horse, a muskox — so did the obstacles in front of it, consisting of people standing still while someone with a phone
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town took their pictures. Some people, with long arms, took photos of themselves. Either way, it slowed things down. This is a fairly new phenomenon, new since phones developed into pretty good cameras, and it will have to be addressed at some point. Mind you, the world has many problems more serious than congestion in public places caused by cellphone cameras. Still, this is one problem that can actually be solved. In the days when cameras were fairly complex items and it took some
skill to use them well, families tended to specialize. One person was the photographer and others looked after other activities, such as mowing the lawn, writing letters to Santa Claus and changing the light bulbs. Now, everybody is a photographer, thanks to the cellphone camera. From the number of pictures that are taken, it’s a wonder that light bulbs get changed at all. Now, when a family of four arrives at an event such as MosaiCanada 150, it is not enough for one photo to be taken of, say, Anne of Green Gables or Paul Henderson scoring the winning goal in 1972. Now, all four cameras must capture the image. This all takes time. There are big thinkers among us who theorize that modern technology has changed our approach to the things we witness. We are now intent more on recording them than on looking at them. Our

preference is to look at things on a three-inch screen as opposed to large as life. And why? Who knows. All we do know is that the etiquette of sightseeing is undergoing a subtle change. Where once we stood politely and waited for someone’s photo to be snapped before moving on, now we just charge ahead and if that ruins the photo, so be it. The alternative is to spend hours waiting for photos to be taken. And anyway, it is not as if film is being wasted. As noted, it is not a big problem, as big problems go. But can anything be done? The Japanese, who are often a step ahead of the rest of us, have given the matter some thought. At major tourist attractions, such as shrines and temples, where thousands gather, there are signs. The signs say: “No group photos.” What a great idea, especially given
the size of some of the groups. Applied here, it might even deter the family of four cellphones. If not, perhaps a more politely Canadian reminder might be better, such as: “Don’t forget to look at the exhibits.”

Having those difficult conversations
A
s parents, we find ourselves in many uncomfortable discussions with kids. I remember when I was pregnant with my third child, my then fiveyear-old asked how the baby would get out. A few weeks later, his older brother asked, “But how did it get in there in the first place?” My experience is that once we get over the initial uneasiness about broaching taboo topics and open ourselves up to listening, kids are more likely to come to us time and again with trust. A few months ago, I had barely put my Sunday morning coffee to my lips when my 12-year-old cornered me in front of my newspaper, “Mom, what’s a hand job? And what are condoms?” I managed to choke on my coffee and ask for a minute of reflection before doing a pretty decent job of an age-appropriate explanation, which may have involved references to the animal kingdom and rain coats. As mother, listening isn’t always my strong point. By the time the kids roll in the door after school, I’ve got a list of chores and a calendar of activities to address. I want to ask them the essential questions – “How was your day and do you have homework?” – and move on to my role as military sergeant. But I’ve also come to recognize the after school dead zone as a key coaching time with my kids. They come home full of baggage from the day. Sometimes the teachers “yelled

Lung Association launches radon awareness month recommended the Nielson’s get their house tested for radon. Radon is a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium found everywhere in the soil and rock. It gets into building through cracks in the foundation, floor drains or openings for pipes. “When we tested our home we found the level was over the guideline,” Mark said. Lori died in January. The Lung Association has launched the fifth annual Radon Action Month in Canada on Oct. 24 at the National Research Council.

It’s in basements in every home in all of Canada. You can’t see it or smell it, but if it accumulates to high enough levels it can become a health hazard. It is also one of the leading causes of lung cancer after smoking. “I wish we knew years ago about the risk of lung cancer from radon exposure,” said Mark Nielson, whose wife, Lori was diagnosed with lung cancer just after their family dog was found also to have lung cancer. It was their family doctor who

The goal, the association said, is to help get the word out to all Canadians about the risks of radon. According to Health Canada, more than 3,000 people die from radon-induced lung cancer each year. Kelley Bush, who heads up Health Canada’s radon program said the government agency’s aim is to significant progress to mitigate radon levels in homes. “Only a small amount of Canadians take action to test,” Bush said, adding even a smaller amount to take action after a test comes back with a reading of high levels. This year the association has partnered with the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) for the awareness month. CARST will be offering a total of $10,000 for a National Radon Reduction Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes is intended to reward homeowners who have tested their home for radon and taken action to reduce levels to below the Canadian Radon guideline level. Health Canada has set a guideline of 200 becquerel (a unit of radioactivity) square metres. Bush said the health risks from radon are lower if levels are below 200, but it depends on the homeowners tolerance levels too.
The good news is, Bush said, fixing the problem is not only easy but also relatively inexpensive. The average mitigation, Bush said can cost between $2,000 and $3,000. “The risks from radon is real and it’s preventable,” Bush said. “We need more Canadians to take action.” The event coincided with a tour of the NRC’s radon research lab, where Liang Zhou, senior research officer, explained how they test for radon as well as learn more ways to mitigate radon from homes. “We evaluate and develop different products to test radon,” Zhou explained. “We are hoping ultimate to contribute to national awareness and overall more testing of radon.” Currently, the guideline Bush said is just that – a guideline – so it is up to individual homeowners to mitigate if radon is found. Bush stressed that levels of radon is in every home in all of Canada, just at what level is the question. “One of the things Health Canada is working on is policy change,” Bush said. For renters, especially those who rent basement apartments, Bush said there is no policy to say if radon is found, that the landlord would have
to pay to fix the problem. She adds that is a problem that she hopes will soon have a solution. “The tenancy act is being updated for testing to be a part of renting a property,” Bush said, referring to the Ontario Tenant Act. Schools and daycares are also on Health Canada’s list as must-test places, but right now, each province has their own guidelines and standards for testing. Bush said the province of Quebec tested all their schools in 2014, and mitigated where necessary. In British Colombia, Bush adds, in areas where radon levels are typically higher, the government is requiring all daycares to be tested. “The concern is exposure over long period of times,” Bush said, explaining the push to make sure areas where children frequent are tested. “But that being said, every single house that is in contact with the ground has radon in it, and the only way to learn how much radon is to test,” Bush said. Testing can cost between $20 to $40. Nunavut, Bush noted, is the only area where they tested and found zero radon activity. Bush said it was because most of those homes are built on stilts.

Lakeside Players’ Beauty and the Beast takes the stage Nov. 9 to 12 By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
The Lakeside Players’ Beauty and the Beast production is no Disney fairy tale. The traditional British-style pantomime includes all the genre has to offer, including the wellknown songs, gags, audience participation and slapstick comedy it’s known for. “There’s a lot of new twists and spinoffs, as well as songs the audience will know and love,” said Annika Vine, a 17-year-old Westboro actor playing Malabelle, the witch, who speaks entirely in rhymes. “It’s entirely different from the movie,” agreed Julia Phillips, 15, from Kanata, who plays Beauty. The play was written by Ben Crocker and is directed by Don Fex, Brenda Solman and Heather Zurbrigg. The show is Julia’s first with Lakeside Players, a nonprofit community theatre group formed in 1990 in the Britannia neighbourhood. She’s part of the cast that’s full of youth, which has created a tight-knit community for the show. The energy was evident during rehearsals, with cast members
playing the audience when not on stage, laughing at the jokes, joining in the sing-a-longs and dancing stage left. “It’s a cohesive group,” said Alex Henkelman, 19, who grew up in Kanata. Henkelman was quick to point out that between the laughter and lighter moments, there are a few scenes that touch the heart. “The characters have these moments that are so sincere and genuine, and I think adults and kids will enjoy them.” Adam Goldberg plays the cantankerous, mouthy, brash but loving Dame. The character involves an element of improvisation that keeps him thinking on his toes, especially when he gets to mingle with the audience. “Anytime I get to break the fourth wall and bring the audience into the performance is fun for me,” he said. He’s also enjoying working with all of his castmates and being the only “grown-up” acting in the show. There’s a scene where he plays alongside Genevieve Case, 14, who lives near Algonquin College. Genevieve plays Felix, the French-

Reptiles as Pets: Dispelling Common Myths and Misconceptions They’re scaly, slithery, tongue-flicking, slow-blinking, sometimes carnivorous, and most always mysterious — they are exotic reptiles that some people keep as pets. Reptilian pets are sometimes rumored to be low-maintenance and easy-going — but do they actually make good pets?

She said the role is a huge upgrade and she was excited to be participating. “The fact is that theatre, and community theatre, can really af-
There are many misconceptions that have lead people to see reptiles as viable pets when in reality, they’re delicate creatures who belong in their native habitats. Here are some myths: Myth 1: Reptiles can live happily in a terrarium — Terrariums are never able to provide the natural environment that exotic pets need. The many qualities of a natural habitat that these animals require is impossible to replicate in a home setting. Reptilian friends of many different species need more space than can be afforded to them by a terrarium. Myth 2: Reptile diets are simple — In the wild, reptiles have the challenge of forging and hunting for their food. Often, households that have a reptile as a pet will tell you that their snake or lizard enjoys a diet of ready-to-eat insects or frozen mice. In actuality, pet reptiles are missing out on the variety of nutrients, tastes, textures, and smells that would be available to them in the wild. Myth 3: Reptiles are sedentary and don’t require mental stimulation — Reptiles are understood to be mostly sedentary animals, with minimal cognitive abilities. This is not true! Contrary to common belief, reptiles are smart and research has recently shown that not only do they have problem-solving abilities, they also have the ability to learn by imitation. Learning by imitation was previously thought to be unique to humans and some primates. Myth 4: Reptiles make great pets, especially for busy families — Reptiles are fascinating to the curious minds of young children, and for this reason, as well as the many other misconceptions out there about reptiles, many reptilians find themselves in cramped terrariums with inadequate nutrition and not enough mental stimulation. And, “most species of reptiles’ lifespans are far longer than their human care-takers, and will undoubtedly stretch past the interest level of their owners,” says Dr. Shelley Hutchings, chief veterinarian at the Ottawa Humane Society.

consists of a combination of protected two-way bike lanes, painted bike lanes and shareduse lanes. A survey was launched on Oct. 23 to hear about cyclists’ experiences along the biking corridor. The questions range from use of the lane to witnessing or being involved in a collision
along the route. Information gathered from this survey will be used to guide future transportation planning of the cycling network. The survey, available at ottawa.ca/en/residents/transportation-and-parking/cycling/ oconnor-street-bikeway, is open until Nov. 30.
New process unveiled for developer-built parks
Nadine’s efforts to lobby for a forgotten WW1 hero resulted in a weekendlong celebration, historic plaques being placed in his honour, and a new marker being placed on Captain Brown’s previously unmarked grave.

The city is looking to clarify rules around developerbuilt parks. The last park and pathway development manual was done in 2012. Council decided on a new funding model for parks outside the greenbelt in 2014, requiring an update to the manual. The planning committee heard a staff report that includes two new types of parks — the urban parkette and woodland parks.
Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he’s glad to have a policy in place, but argued some parks were never built because there were no park-dedicated funds in the development charges. He wanted to know how the new policy would help communities that have been built, but are now “in limbo” waiting for a park. So far, the practice during the transition to the new process has been to fund some legacy parks, or to return a portion of the development charges to allow for a park to
be built by the developer. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri had some concerns about a park in the Fernbank subdivision. He wanted to know if developers had to have a timeline in place to build parks. Parks are traditionally part of a plan for a subdivision — meaning developers submit the timeline, staff said. Despite the changes to the process, staff said bigger community parks will still trigger the need for an application to build them. Council has to approve the new process on Nov. 8.

Perley Rideau, Ottawa Hospital launch elderly patient diversion unit By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A new partnership will return more hospitalized seniors to their homes, diverting them from extensive long-term care wait lists and freeing up hospital beds. Calling it “a turning point,” Akos Hoffer, chief executive of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, said starting in the New Year, elderly patients who are close to recovering from illness or surgery will be transferred from the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic and General campuses to the Perley’s new 20-bed enhanced convalescent care unit. The pilot program is considered the first-of-its-kind in Canada. The institutions are collaborating, thanks to $750,000 from the Ontario government, to ensure elderly patients heal quicker and return home, rather
than remain in hospital for upwards of three months, possibly decline and end up in long-term care, which can take months to years to secure. It’s expected to free up hospital beds, reducing wait times in emergency rooms. Of the 150 patients currently at the Ottawa Hospital waiting for a long-term care bed, at least 60 would be eligible for the Perley’s new unit, said Dr. Jeff Turnbull, the hospital’s chief of staff. “We hope this will significantly improve flow,” he said. “Our goal today is to take pressure off hospitals and longterm care homes by helping seniors get better so that they can return home and avoid lingering in the hospital,” said Hoffer. Average stays at the Perley’s SAFE unit, or sub-acute care for frail elderly, will be three to four weeks. During that time patients will be cared for by their family
doctor, but also have access to diagnostics, such as blood tests and X-rays, as well as specialist physicians from the Ottawa Hospital who will make rounds at the unit, and also Perley staff trained in acute care. As they recover, they will also benefit from a roster of services and programs, ranging from physical therapy and paint classes, as well as experts and volunteers already available at the health centre. The 450 people who already call the Perley home will also benefit from the increased access to the Ottawa Hospital’s in-house diagnostics and physicians. The partnership was a natural fit for the neighbouring institutions. Chantale LeClerc, chief executive of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, said this “cutting-edge” initiative is an answer to the pressures faced by the health-care system.
Erin McCracken/Metroland
The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre is partnering with the Ottawa Hospital to create a firstof-its-kind unit where elderly hospital patients will be transferred to recover and to return them home sooner. “Our population is growing; it’s aging; our diseases are getting more complicated; our treatments are getting more complex,” she said. Calling the new unit “a first step,” Hoffer said it could be-
come the approach to follow. “We know there’s going to be a massive increase in the number of seniors everywhere, but especially here in Ottawa and especially in this area,” he said. The Perley has already been
in discussions with the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Nepean. “If we, as one hospital, have at least 60 (eligible patients) you can imagine what the Montfort, the Queensway Carleton and others might have too,” Turnbull said. “There’s a huge need.” There is also potential to expand the unit at the Perley if the pilot program proves successful. Today, it is home to 235 warservice veterans who served overseas, plus another 15 modern veterans who became eligible to live there earlier this year. Another 40 modern vets are on the waiting list for long-term care. But the reality is, the numbers will decline. “There are going to be less veterans, so we’re going to have less priority access beds,” Hoffer said of the Perley’s mandate to reserve a certain number of its beds for veterans. “We have capacity to do more.”

Father believed there was a solution for everything
I
t had been a hot summer. Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox. Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the ice house could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day. But as summer turned into fall and the days got shorter, even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen and more ice brought into the ice house. And so it was that fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in. The youngest of us were not allowed in the ice house in the hot summer, just in case we let in the heat. Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid. The little black building was built on the north side of the barn to protect
piped down when the ice melted, and I was both glad and anxious when it now had to be done only every second day. Glad that I didn’t have to worry about the water filling the pan and spilling out on the floor through my neglect, but Memories anxious, wondering where we would put our food when the ice house was empty. And the fall dragged on. The leaves it as much as possible from the sun, and had turned, fallen, were raked up and wagonload after wagonload of sawdust burned. And each day was sunny and was dragged from the sawmill to cover warm but with frosty nights, telling us soon we would be blocked in with drifts the ice. The big black tongs hung on a spike of snow and impassable roads, but cutting ice in the river still a long way off. outside the building, and only Audrey Mother, I knew, was worried. More or Father were the ones to bring a block into the icebox when needed. And now, than once she said to my sister Audrey, Father said, it looked like we might run “Take the smallest blocks of ice first.” And then suddenly the weather out of ice before the Bonnechere froze changed. We got up one morning to over. temperatures that had dropped through Now, the block in the Barnett was allowed to melt until there was nothing the night, chilling the very rafters of the to prove it had ever been there. My job house. Father had stoked the Findlay Oval as always before going to bed, but was to empty the basin of water that
MARY COOK
by morning it had burned down, and we knew, as soon as our feet hit the floor, the nice fall days were over. It would just be a matter of time before winter would close in around us. But February, which was usually the month Father took ice from the river, was still months away. I worried every day that we would run out of ice, our food would spoil and my entire family would either die of starvation or food poisoning. But Father didn’t seem to be that worried. He, as always, had a solution ... one that had been used on that farm for three generations. Out in the summer kitchen was an old table that held cans of paint, bits and pieces of wood, and other things which didn’t seem to have a home. Father moved it to the centre of the floor, took four empty tin cans, filled them with coal oil, and put one under each leg. Mother covered it with a worn piece of oilcloth, and that table became
our “icebox.” Mother, whose concern was that a mouse would get onto our food, was assured by Father that no mouse could climb a table leg over a can of coal oil. And so leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, then in many layers of the Renfrew Mercury, and taken out to the summer kitchen, where they either froze or were kept well chilled until used in a meal. No longer did we have to worry about running out of ice from the ice house. There were still a few blocks left for chipping into a glass of well water, but the big oak Barnett lay idle, its shelves empty, but its big door left ajar to air out until once again, it would be filled with a block of ice from the Bonnechere.

n i a r B ea s e rs
horoscopes
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!

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, no matter the demands that are put on your time right now, you must take some time to retreat and focus on your well-being. This may mean staying out of the limelight.
