Civic art gallery to beautify Ruddy-Shenkman hospice Partnership looks to brighten the days of those reaching the end of their lives Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Work created by Kanata Civic Art Gallery artists will soon adorn the walls of the RuddyShenkman Hospice to beautify the surroundings of people during their final days of life.

Starting on March 12, the gallery plans to display 18 to 20 pieces of art in the common room, dining room, treatment room and hallways of the hospice year-round, with new artwork going up every March, July and November, said Wendy Russell, a member of the civic

art gallery. It’s a way for artists to share their work and give back to the community, she said. Special care will be taken to choose suitable work, said Russell. The hospice’s event and site manager, Ruth Cameron, said the artwork plan is a great continuation of Hospice Care Ottawa’s partnership with the Kanata Civic Art Gallery. In the past, the civic gallery has held a breakfast and silent auction benefiting Hospice Care Ottawa, with contributions from local artists. The gallery has also displayed work at Hospice Care Ottawa’s temporary Central West Hospice location at 1400 Carling Ave. Now that the civic art gallery artists’ work will be shown at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice, artists from the Pineview Meadows Art Club will have their work displayed at the Central West Hospice location, said Cameron.

North Kanata school could break ground this spring City clears more hurdles for Terry Fox school site Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Ottawa’s public school board can stick to its September 2016 schedule to open a new elementary school at Terry Fox Drive and Second Line Road thanks to several gestures of good will from the city and KNL Development. On Feb. 24 the city’s planning committee approved the reduced sale of a road allowance that runs through the school site, and KNL is allowing the school board to access the site before its officially transferred in an effort to keep the construction schedule on track. Assuming council follows planning committee’s recommendations on March 25, the city will sell part of the road allowance to the school board

for “fair market value less $100,000” to make up for the extra planning costs the board paid when it unsuccessfully tried to rezone an Industrial Drive site last year. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the motion was mainly housekeeping so the board can go ahead with site preparation and construction this spring. “We wanted to make sure things got moving,” she said. The road allowance settlement was part of an agreement with the school board to get them to drop its case with the Ontario Municipal Board over the city’s refusal to rezone the Industrial Drive location. The school board has since agreed to build on Terry Fox – a site Wilkinson admits still has many challenges, mainly because the school is being constructed before the subdivision, which means the area is not yet serviced. The future residential area is also not yet registered with the city – that won’t happen

until later this year, Wilkinson said. Without registration, KNL can’t legally transfer the block of land to the school board. But in order to open the school on time, KNL has agreed to give the board access to the site this spring so it can start preparing the site for construction, bring in temporary services and build access roads, according to area public board trustee Christine Boothby. “We are still ironing out some things with the developer, but they’ve given us essentially permission to start what we need to start so that we don’t miss our September 2016 schedule,” Boothby said. While the school is moving ahead, the multi-phase development continues to face barriers and opposition over habitat loss for threatened turtles, and concerns over drainage. Wilkinson hosted a public meeting to discuss those issues on March 4, after the Kourier-Standard’s print deadline. Check back next week for an update.

City scrambles to fix deluge of frozen pipes Crews have taken nearly double the calls this year Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

City staff are asking for patience as crews scramble to deal with a flood of frozen water pipes. Dixon Weir, general manager of the city’s environmental services, said crews have fielded 253 calls for frozen pipes since November, compared to only 134 calls in the 2013-14 winter season. As of Friday, Feb. 27, 64 properties across the city were

without water because their pipes have succumbed to the unseasonably cold weather in Ottawa during the past month. While 189 properties have successfully had their pipes thawed out since the start of winter, Weir said February’s cold weather has created an unexpected spike, particularly during the past two weeks, that has kept crews busy – and residents filling their bathtubs with melted snow. “In an average year, Ottawa experiences periods of extreme cold, but those are broken up by periods of relatively warmer weather,� Weir told reporters Friday, Feb. 27. “Unfortunately this year, as we all know, we’ve experienced an unusually long stretch of record-breaking low temperatures.� With so many calls, it could

take crews up to six days to get a property’s water flowing again. In the meantime, staff are providing bottled water and residents can shower for free at the closest recreation centre. Weir wouldn’t say how much more this spike in service will cost the city, either for the extra staff working around the clock or for the water bill reimbursements for properties with a history of freezing pipes. Approximately 2,000 homes and businesses received letters this winter asking them to continually run a small amount of cold water from an indoor tap all winter – at a cost of $3 to $4 per day. “Our focus is just on restoring service,� Weir said. Weir said he didn’t immediately know how much calls

Environmental Services general manager Dixon Weir, left, said calls for service to thaw frozen pipes have nearly doubled this winter compared to last year. for frozen pipes cost the city last year, either. “We didn’t run into this situation last year, although it was a very cold winter.� If a resident’s property has

a history of freezing pipes, the city recommends leaving the tap water running slightly (approximately 0.5 centimetres in diameter, about the size of a straw) until April 15.

Property owners should also make sure indoor air temperatures are at least 6 C, particularly around the water meter. To report a frozen pipe, call 311.

To the editor,

Re: Charles Gordon column, “The invasion of the small office buildings,” Feb. 19. Where are the truly creative designers and architects? Invasion of the small office or any building would not be so bad if they all didn’t look like they were drawn by a six-year-old. Even the new condo building in Westboro being touted as designed by the esteemed architect Barry Hobin is exceedingly boring! It’s a square box with some vertical and horizontal lines and glass cornered balconies on the corners. That’s creative? Groundbreaking design? Maybe on the inside, but on the outside – boring and uninspired. It’s the same type of design that creates acres of tract homes that have virtually no redeeming design features in them whatsoever. Builders and developers, most likely in their lust for maximum amount of profit in their pocket, have set back architecture and design to the age of the caveman. A cave is a cave is a cave. Same can be said of their houses. They build boring after bland after boring. Their legacy will be, “See I built 100,000 houses for people to live in.” Oh, but don’t mention they all look the

same: an uninspired plasticcoated box. Brian Scott Ottawa

This world filled with great people Editor’s note: The Séguin family spent a considerable amount of time at CHEO during the last year, following a serious accident involving their three children. To the editor,

One year ago our family had the unthinkable happen – all three of our children were seriously injured by a dangerous driver as they walked on the sidewalk in downtown North Bay. We have grown a lot as a family over the last year, and we have a tremendous amount to be grateful for. First, the response from those that witnessed the accident, emergency responders including paramedics, firefighters, and police, as well as medical staff once we all reached the hospital, was outstanding. There seemed to be a multitude of angels looking out for us in those early moments, and thereafter. Immediately, family and friends and complete strangers sped into action performing chores, carrying wood to keep the home fire burning, depositing meals, providing transpor-

tation and necessary supplies, tapping our maple trees, packing our honey, and comforting us with words, deeds, hugs, and prayers. Prayers – we suspect millions, likely more – have been said, spanning the globe in multiple faiths for the days, weeks, and months that have followed. And then there was the fundraising – from individual donations to collections, breakfasts, dinners, dances and auctions. It all seemed overwhelming and surreal from time to time. The support our family received on so many different levels was immense. Thinking or speaking of the amazing support we received stimulates a stream of joyful, thankful tears. Most days if we turn on the news we are bombarded with negative pictures and stories. The event that happened to our family was one such piece of news. However, the accident generated so many good acts. Our world is filled with great people! Our family continues the healing process. The support received has allowed us to focus on positive actions and therapies. We are progressing well, at this point. Our life journey is moving forward with faith, hope and joy. Thank you to absolutely everyone that has touched our family in one way or another since Feb. 22, 2014. You number in the stars, you are all amazing. You make the world an incredible place. The Séguin family North Bay

Teach our children well

W

hen is the best time to learn how to use a compass? Before you get lost in the woods or when/if you survive? Should a student learn how to measure the angles in a triangle before the geometry test or after? And lastly, do we make sure kids know sexual activity can have negative consequences before they are sexually active or after they are pregnant, diseased or damaged? Arming children with information they need to make good decisions is what we ask our schools and teachers to do. In a perfect world, parents would provide all the sex ed information their child needs before they need it. Kids’ questions at home would be answered and the lines of communication would allow discussion and continuing learning. The Ontario government recently introduced new health and sexual education guidelines for teachers. The goal is clear: get information to stu-

dents at appropriate times, knowing that they will need it before they face important decisions. Playing the part of the ostrich is Campaign Life Coalition, which immediately set about trying to scare parents. The coalition’s press release warned the new curriculum, “... will discuss oral & anal sex in G. 7, masturbation in Gr. 6, homosexuality in Gr. 3 and sexual body parts in Gr. 1.� Take any parent who has a problem with anal and oral sex being discussed in Grade 7 and ask them: when do you plan to discuss it with them? The answer is likely never, which leaves their kids at greater risk of a bad decision than those who learn the risks at school. Naming sexual body parts happens in the home, well before a child gets to school. Kids have questions, and parents provide names. By the first day of junior kindergarten, every kid will know that boys and girls are different. So what’s to be scared of? In a word, ignorance.

No big fixes needed at National Gallery

T

he National Gallery folks are commissioning one of those studies to find out why attendance isn’t great. I hope part of that study includes common sense, because you know how studies work. It is not encouraging to know that the gallery, in its request for proposals is looking for “new baseline data to assist us in achieving our visitorcentric approach.� The study will also concern “motivation, expectations, brand attributes and intrinsic values.� Language like that, so common around here, gives you that sinking feeling, and yet there is nothing in the gallery itself that should give cause for alarm. It is a gem, both inside and out. The Great Hall, a work of art in itself, makes, through its windows, a

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town stirring portrait of the Ottawa River and the surrounding landscape and buildings. The people who make the artistic decisions do their job well. The building is well thoughtfully laid out and easy to navigate. Why don’t more people come there? Well, lots of people do. But you could, without new baseline data, come up with some ideas. For one thing, the novelty has worn off. When the gallery opened in 1988, people flocked to it to see what all the fuss

was about, and all the expense. Now it’s a familiar part of the landscape. The location is not bad, particularly historically, but it’s a bit off the beaten track, particularly for walkers. Underground parking is OK, although some people don’t like that. Plus, it’s an area that gets a lot of traffic, so it doesn’t feel like an easy place to drive to. Obviously, there’s nothing that can be done about the location. Ottawa would help itself considerably and boost attendance at its major attractions by setting up a free system of shuttle buses to take people to and from the major galleries, museums and other attractions.

manent collection — from Group of Seven to more contemporary pieces — seems fine to a non-expert and some of the recent exhibitions have been stunning, such as the recently concluded Jack Bush, the continuing M.C. Escher and the continuing Shine a Light, an eclectic grouping of Canadian pieces. Shine a Light is a startling demonstration of the many and surprising ways art can be made. One piece, Leaves of Grass, by Geoffrey Farmer, consists of about 20,000 photos and illustrations from Life magazine from 1935-1985, glued together and arranged along a table that is 124-feet long. Another, The Cave Painter, by Shary Boyle, uses plaster, wood, glass and overhead projectors to create an eerie tableau. Further along are huge, dramatic photographs by Edward Burtynsky.

he new Ontario health curriculum – the first revision since 1998 – was released in February under much fanfare and much criticism. Critics of the document say the curriculum teaches children too much, too soon. Typically, the critics are religious groups, conservatives , those without school-aged children and people who live much of their lives in a cocoon. Most parents with school children understand kids need to learn about health matters that concern them. They need to do it in a structured environment where they can safely ask questions on subjects that they kind of, sort of know about, without eeling like buffoons. The focus is on organizing

FAMILY LAW in a Box presents

Divorce Straight Talk A FREE public seminar that answers all your questions about separation and divorce Wednesday, March 11, 7—9 pm, West End

Speakers: Julie Audet/Josée Thibault, Founders of Family Law in a Box, “What is the next step? Knowledge is Power”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse knowledge. Kids have lots of ideas about the world from a young age. They’re exposed through songs on the radio, playground and school bus chatter, glimpses of news headlines and overhearing adult conversations. I’m sure all of us can think back to our childhood and some of the general misconceptions about the world that plagued us. From the age of six, I was convinced snakes lived in the sewers after glancing at a Hamilton Spectator headline about somebody’s pet boa constrictor found in an apartment toilet. I checked the bowl and sat down cautiously on the edge of the seat for years afterwards. Make no mistake, no matter how protected your kids are, even if they aren’t listening to Top 30 hits on your watch or having exposure to news, they are exposed to sex culture, and there’s always at least one Joe the Big Mouth – a kid who’s been more exposed to sex culture than others and feels it his duty to impart stories on the playground -- to help them fill in the gaps. In one of my favourite alltime movies, Singles, character, Steve, has a flashback to the

’60s, when his single mother takes him to the family doctor to learn about sex. A young and conservative Steve sits and listens to the old doctor referencing a penis on chart paper, while he clinically describes sex. The next scene flashes forward to eightyear-old Steve on the playground recounting to his friends the sex act: “The guy just moves on top of her until something comes out of his penis?” “What?” “Spam!” “Eeew!,” shriek the kids. Flash forward a couple of decades and sexual education in my day was much about a red-faced public school teacher plowing through names of body parts on a poster, while attempting to keep the giggles to a minimum. We didn’t learn much except how to look and feel really uncomfortable – and make your audience feel uncomfortable – during an oral presentation. But it was on the playground we got our “real” sex-ed. In Grade six, circa late ’80s, it was widely-rumoured among 11-year-olds that boys and girls could have safe sex in a couple of ways: oral sex and anal sex. The message from Joe the Big Mouth was that everyone could be guaranteed a thrill without

getting a girl pregnant, a myth that sadly persisted well into high school, if gossip is anything to go by. There was no curriculum, no teacher, no public health professional to inform kids of the dangerous realities of unprotected sex. And so, kids experimented, just as they have since the beginning of time. For parents, it’s hard to contemplate our innocent children thinking about sexual activities, other than in the abstract. Certainly kids are not thinking about it all the time. But they do have ideas. From the time kids start toilet training, they become aware of their bodies. By kindergarten, most kids know the difference between boys and girls. As they age, there will always be a Joe the Big Mouth on the playground to “educate them” on sexual health, much of it tainted with lies, humiliation and insults. Critics of the revised sex-ed curriculum would have you believe kids are watching porn in primary school. Not so. The Ontario health curriculum has been carefully designed to give teachers tools to help kids understand ideas they already sort of, kind of know – about healthy foods, about family make-up, and yes, about sex. It is carefully structured to allow for child-led, ageappropriate discussions that teach children to respect themselves and others. The curriculum fills in the gaps in knowledge that kids have about the world around them, and most importantly, it will help them organize and filter truth from untruth. Big mouth Joe on the playground doesn’t stand much of a chance.

Sobeys store owner West Ottawa’s business person of the year years to his late 20s, Foget nearly lost his young family. “I thought that was the end of the line for me,” he told the audience at the awards ceremony. But, after asking for a second chance, Foget said he found the strength to rehabilitate himself and become a successful businessman. Now, he said he continues to try and pay back that second chance by waking up every day and trying to make the world a better place. “So far, so good,” he said.

Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sobeys store owner and rehabilitated drug addict Allan Foget was named business person of the year at the 16thannual West Ottawa Board of Trade’s People’s Choice Business Awards. The event, which saw 24 awards go to businesses and community members in Goulbourn, West Carleton and Kanata on Feb. 26, included the Business Person of the Year award for the first time in more than five years. Foget, who is the franchise holder for Sobeys stores at 840 March Rd. and at 5150 Innes Rd. in Orléans, was described as a “grocery czar” by the event’s master of ceremonies, Kurt Stoodley. But it was a long ways up from rock bottom to get there, said Foget upon receiving the award. Foget is not squeamish about sharing his story of addiction and recovery, volunteering with the Royal Ottawa Hospital as an inspirational speaker. A drug addict from his teen

HOSPICE

The Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice of Hospice Care Ottawa won the Community Support/Non-Profit Organization award for the second year in a row, with event planning and site manager Ruth Cameron accepting the award. “We were thrilled,” she said. “It’s wonderful to acknowledge all the hard work that our volunteers do to make and award like this possible.” The award was particularly

meaningful for her, she said, as Cameron plans on retiring in June. “I just felt like this is such a high to end on,” she said. RECORD-BREAKING

The business awards broke several records this year, said Leu. The event, as usual, was sold out, but with a record number of attendees at 330. The awards gala also saw a record number of nominees this year, said Leu. She said the board of trade is trying to figure out how to include former members of the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce now that the chamber and the board of trade have now merged. A separate business awards will be taking place in Nepean this year near the end of April, said Leu. Though the board of trade has no firm plans for next year’s awards, Leu said a committee will likely have to decide whether to hold separate events or to hold a single event with fewer awards.

Dave Smith announces 30-bed treatment centre at awards gala Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Dave Smith announced he has plans to build a new 30-bed residential treatment centre in West Carleton at the People’s Choice Business Awards gala on Feb. 26. Smith, founder of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, made the announcement as he accepted his award for Community Support/NonProfit Organization in West Carleton. The new centre will be an amalgamation of the two residential centres currently located in Carp and Carleton Place. “We want to do a better job for our youngsters,” he told the crowd of 330 attendees. Treatment counsellors are losing more than an hour each day travelling between the two sites, he said. By housing both female and male clients in one location – in separate wings – the youth will be better served, he added. “My counsellors are driving from one centre to the next centre. That’s time that should be spent with the clients,” said Smith. “Where the new 30-bed facility will be, everything is going to be under one roof. Then we won’t have any more driving time; that way counsellors can spend a full day with the client.” The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is a non-profit community-

based agency that helps youth, ages 13 to 21, and their families overcome substance abuse and related issues. The new treatment centre will be located at 1883 Bradley Side Rd., just a little west of the current building in Carp. Zoning bylaw and Official Plan amendments have been submitted to the city. He told the gala crowd he needs to raise $5 million to see his dream of a new, inclusive residential centre realized. “As I say, this is so close to me, you have no idea,” he said. “Help me stop this incredible disaster that’s destroying our youth.” In more than two decades the treatment centre has helped “thousands” of clients, said Smith. “That passion of that treatment centre is so close to me. When you think of the amount of lives we have changed in that centre – that’s why it’s important. “It’s just unbelievable.” Smith was also a finalist for the Citizen of the Year award. Ruth Richardson of Stittsville United Church won that honour. GALA WINNERS

The West Ottawa Board of Trade’s 16th annual People’s Choice Business Awards celebrated the best of the best in West Carleton, Kanata and Goulbourn at a gala held at the

Brookstreet Hotel on Feb. 26. “It just gets more inspiring and amazing every year,” said Rosemary Leu, executive director of the board of trade. There were a record 315 nominees in 24 award categories and more than 15,000 votes cast, Leu said. Thirtyseven businesses and individuals were nominated from across West Carleton. “Congratulations on being nominated as one of the best of the best,” she said. “Thank you for doing what you do every single day.” And the West Carleton winners are: • Tourism Business of the Year: Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum • Restaurant of the Year: Cheshire Cat Pub • Health and Wellness Business of the Year: Yoga & Tea Studio • Small Business of the Year: Herb Garden Allan Foget, owner of Sobey’s on March Road, won the new Business Person of the Year Award for his extensive work in the community.

End of an era Two weathered artifacts that were stationed for decades in Technology Park outside the front doors of the Canada Science and Technology Museum were removed Feb. 25. The removal of the Convair Atlas 5A rocket, on loan to the museum from the United States Air Force since 1973, and an oil pumpjack was prompted by staff concerns that museum visitors could be injured by the deteriorating landmarks. The pumpjack, one of the first landmarks at the park after it was donated by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers in 1967, will be kept in a neighbouring museum collection reserve warehouse.

Please Help This Young Teen Find a Permanent Family

A

n intelligent, funny, athletic, and artistic young teen, Paul is succeeding in class, on the ice, and on the stage, while working to face challenges around loss and instability in his family life.

Canada Science and Technology Museum

Paul has all the tools he needs to succeed, but needs a family to provide the solid foundation that will allow him to rebuild the trust and sense of security that so many take for granted. Paul needs a family who can keep up with his wit, share in his wonderful stories, and support his extracurricular activities. He's looking for parents who will take the time to explain things to him, and who can keep open channels of communication, while showing flexibility and trust. He needs empathy for his past as well in order to pursue his emotional growth. Paul is in many ways your average young teenager. He loves the outdoors and is very passionate about fishing. He is a voracious reader, loves movies and would like a family who can spend an evening together watching a good flick. Paul has a great passion for stories, which plays out not only in his reading and movie watching, but acting as well. His Greek heritage—of which his is very proud—might explain his love of acting. If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about Paul's need for a permanent family, please contact Michael McDougall at the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa, at 613-747-7800 ext. 2828 or email him at michael.mcdougall@casott.on.ca.

Victim of Bells Corners fire remembered as ‘tenacious’ Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The partner of a woman killed in a Feb. 19 fire says the victim, Luda Vidisheva, once told him she found scorched insulation near a wire in the basement of her Bells Corners home. Police said the fire was accidental, but the office of the fire marshal had not determined a cause yet. Shawn Charland, Vidisheva’s partner, said she told him about the scorched insulation, and he said he told her to alert the fire department to come take a look at it, but he does not know if she ever did. Fire crews found Vidisheva’s body on the main floor of her two-story unit at 421 Moodie Dr., after they put out the blaze. Charland remembered her fondly as an animal lover and a tenacious fighter who never gave up, no matter how bad things got. “She’s really the most selfmade person I’ve ever met,” he said. “She had a small but very, very important life. Van Gogh never sold a single painting in his lifetime, but once he died, everybody noticed what he was doing, and I see Luda like that.” Vidisheva fled her native Ukraine when she was just 17 years old and sought refugee status in Canada, according to Charland. She tried her hand at a number of different profes-

Luda Vidisheva, 39, of Bells Corners, was found dead after a three-alarm fire that destroyed her home on Feb. 19. sions during her time in Canada – from working in retail at Home Depot to retirement homes and a law firm. Whenever she lost a job, she was always determined to pick herself up and learn a new skill to find another one, Charland said. “She was moving her earth every day with courage and tenacity,” he said. Vidisheva moved to Bells Corners a few years ago and was about to start a new job with the Ottawa courthouse at the time of her death. Also found in the burned out house were the remains of Vidisheva’s chocolate Lab-

rador, Bobby. Vidisheva also had a cat, which has not been found. The blaze also displaced other residents in the building and caused more than $400,000 in damage, said Sgt. David Christie, of the Ottawa police department. The whole building will likely have to be demolished and rebuilt. More than 50 firefighters battled the three-alarm fire through thick grey smoke for much of the afternoon, closing off access to a section of Moodie Drive. The death was Ottawa’s fourth fatality in a residential fire this year.

Labour market event shows students odds of landing jobs adam.kveton@metroland.com

Statistics on Ottawa’s job market showing which positions are most in demand are now at students’ fingertips, helping to give them the odds of getting into the career they want. But that doesn’t mean those with less likely career plans, like aspiring actors, musicians and artists, should give up on their dreams, said Ingrid Argyle, project manager for Labour Market Ottawa. Argyle was a keynote speaker at a new All Saints Catholic High School event which invited parents from the Catholic and public school boards to meet with employers and learn about getting into the labour market in the 21st century. Argyle works to package and distribute statistics on Ottawa’s labour market, giving numbers on what job sectors or careers are seeing growth, how many jobs are currently available and

identifying trends. For instance, in 2013, there were more retail salesperson positions in Ottawa than any other job, though the number had declined from 2011. Next on the list was computer programmers and interactive media developers, which showed a small decline since 2011. Veterinarian made the labour market’s Top-10 in terms of job growth. Numbers like that have been collected for years, but have only become easily accessible to parents, students and other job seekers over the last few years, said Argyle. Labour Market Ottawa began posting Ottawa-specific statistics in the last three years, and continues to work with the local school boards to get the information to counselors and students. The numbers can offer a sobering look for students with a passion for a specific job

But that doesn’t mean people who dream of becoming an actor or a singer should give up, said Argyle. The message is know what you are getting into, and plan for it, she said. “If you feel really strongly about a certain occupation and you explore it and it’s not one that’s likely to have good prospects, then you can decide, ‘Well, I want to do it anyway.’ But maybe build into your education something more practical as well, or you might decide to explore what other occupations are around it.”

Students explain their career path choices Continued from page 19

You don’t just go to school and then start a career and that’s it. There is a lot more back and forth now. Ingrid Argyle, Labour Market Ottawa project manager

whole life,” he said. “I understand that it could not happen, but I don’t think I would let that happen because I just love it so much. I don’t see myself doing anything else,” said Fassbender. But that hasn’t stopped him from having an alternate plan. After going to Ryerson University for theatre, he is going to take a few years and have his shot at the acting business, but if it doesn’t happen, he said he hopes to be a music or drama teacher. Even with statistics showing an ever clearer picture of just how competitive sections of the job market are, the numbers aren’t meant to deter job seekers

from going after their ideal job, said Argyle. “If people go overboard (with the statistics), then you won’t have any artists or any performers because no one will go into those fields,” she said. Rather, the numbers should help prepare job seekers by showing them the opportunities available, giving them an idea of what careers they could seek if they are unsure, or showing them what alternatives there are. Watching the job market shift over the years has also shown Argyle that, as trends in the job market change, job seekers can’t expect to be in the same job from graduation to retirement. “You don’t just go to school and then start a career and that’s it,” she said. “There is a lot more back and forth now.” That was one of the biggest takeaways for Deanna Tremblay and Cathie Bourgon – the All Saints teachers who planned the event. “The message that every experience leads to the next level was loud and clear,” said Bourgon. “This is a different focus than what would have been the old fashioned ‘career day’ that schools used to run. It’s not so much about advertising a particular career; now it is more about gathering the tools to be successful and competitive in an ever changing market.” To check out more job market information, go to www.labourmarketottawa.ca.

Three Grade 12 students attending the All Saints’ job event shared their career path plans, and their reasons for their choices. Alexander, who did not provide his last name, a student at Richard Pfaff Alternate Program,said he is looking to go to Algonquin and take a university-level program so he can work in lasers and fibre-optics. “For me, I’m really scientific about it,” said Alexander of his choices. Jobs in the technology sector are the way to go, he said. “Those electronic (jobs) that never existed, you’ve got to tap into that.” But you can’t be set on a single job, he said. You have to go with the flow and find where the opportunities are. RJ Vanneste from All Saints is following his passion but is willing to travel to make it a reality. He’s set on becoming a high school teacher, and plans to go to the University of Ottawa, earn an arts degree and move on to teachers college. He said he has no illusions about his prospects for finding a job in Ontario. “I know that the jobs are competitive, especially around here,” said Vanneste. But, with about six years ahead of him before beginning his career, he is anticipating a wave of baby boomer retirements which should open up the job market. If that isn’t enough to get him

a local job, Vanneste said he will go anywhere around the world for employment – New Zealand ideally, but Asia and parts of Africa are usually looking for English teachers, he said. Nicholas Fassbender, also from All Saints, is following his dreams, and plans on moving to Toronto to pursue a career in acting. “It’s just my passion, that’s what I’ve wanted to do for my

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Switch glitch mars O-Train launch, shuts down line Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

It was a tough go for OC Transpo staff hoping to finally launch the expanded Trillium O-Train line this week. The $60.3-million expansion, which added passing tracks and doubled the number of trains running between Greenboro station in the south to Bayview station near downtown, officially launched Monday, March 2. But the system was off to a rocky start as passengers were stranded at Greenboro for up to an hour because of switching signal errors – pushing back a planned photo-op with the media, as well. Problems worsened for the train system on Tuesday, March 3 when OC Transpo staff posted a notice online that the Trillium line would be “suspended until further notice.� Pat Scrimgeour, manager of the city’s transit service planning branch, said the signals were sending errors by 5:30 a.m. that stopped the trains from even leaving the station. “It wasn’t picking up properly whether the track system was clear of a train,� he said. “It couldn’t be sure that there was no train, and until it’s sure it holds the signal at red.� Scrimgeour said staff were out all Tuesday scouring the

track for the fatal flaw that took the system offline only one day after the newly expanded line was officially opened. But he couldn’t say when the trains might start running again. The expansion project included the purchase of six new Alstom Coradia Lint trains, new passing tracks and upgrades to the signal system. Transit commission chairman Stephen Blais wasn’t immediately available for comment on Tuesday, but he was openly disappointed on Monday when he finally arrived at Carleton station to speak to waiting reporters. “Like with any new piece of infrastructure, there are some little things that happen,� Blais said after he arrived around 10 a.m. He said he spent the extra time at Greenboro station apologizing to passengers who were delayed. Blais said on Monday that the line’s switch system is scheduled for replacement “later this year� but said passengers shouldn’t expect such major delays on a daily basis. “That’s not our anticipation,� he said. By Tuesday, the entire line was closed. A regular O-Train user, who wished not to be named because he works for a government department regulating

transit, said on Monday he’s not convinced the O-Train is any better for all its changes. “I take it every day and I’m not sure it’s a step forward,� he said. The train is usually an excellent connection for him to get to work in Gatineau, he said. While he expects the service to get better once the glitches are fixed, he said city officials knew there were still problems to be worked out before they planned the launch. “They should have waited until they got the signals fixed, but they wanted the big day,� he said.

What staff don’t emphasize, though, is the end-to-end travel time. Scrimgeour said the new system takes about 17 minutes from Greenboro to Bayview, up from the 12 to 14 minutes passengers are used to, at least in good weather. He said that time will shorten as drivers become used to the new system, which now

has trains passing three other vehicles instead of just one on any given trip. “The people driving those trains are learning all those new patterns,� he said. “All the things you just do ‘Speed up here,’ ... ‘This is where I start to slow down,’ that comes with experience.� He noted that most O-Train

passengers get off at Carleton University, so they’re only doing a half trip. For those people, the difference in trip time is marginal: seven or eight minutes versus six or seven. “Because they have more frequent service, they won’t have to wait quite as long. So it balances out to be a very similar experience,� he said.

GET THE TIMING RIGHT

Beginning March 2, the Trillium line from Greenboro station in the south to Bayview station near downtown was supposed to run four trains at a time instead of two, increasing frequency to every 10 to 12 minutes instead of 15. That’s slated to go down even further to eight minutes as crews refine the system over the coming months. The O-Train, once it’s up and running, is scheduled to start at 6 a.m. on weekdays and at 6:30 a.m. on Saturdays, with runs every 10 to 12 minutes. Sunday service will start at 7:30 a.m. with runs every 10 to 15 minutes.

Ottawa: ‘Where the smart people live’ Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Ottawa draws bright minds but too often the city sees them leave for pastures they may think are greener. Jeff Westeinde wants to make Ottawa “sticky.” Maybe the students and visitors should meet Westeinde during their stay. The developer is NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND one of this city’s biggest cheerleaders. During a speech to the city’s construction Serge Massicotte, the chair of the Canadian Construction Association, left, chats with Ottawa developer Jeff Westeinde following the Ottawa Construction Association’s an- industry leaders on Feb. 24, Westeinde called nual meeting at the Ottawa Convention and Event Centre on Coventry Road.

He said anyone who reads the news today may worry about the future. “But we’re world-beaters,” Westeinde said. “Ottawa is a talent hotbed. It’s where the smart people live.” Westeinde used his presentation to the Ottawa Construction Association’s annual general meeting to share statistics that could make the most pessimistic feel bullish about Canada’s economy, and Ottawa’s as well. Despite being near top of so many lists that assess quality of life and the business environment, Ottawa falls to 152nd spot when major cities around the world are ranked in order of cost of living. He lauded companies that export products or serve tourism, because they create jobs for all Ottawans. And he shared a stat that makes attracting bright people – and getting them to stay – all the more critical. “An immigrant in Ottawa is seven times more likely to start a business than someone from here,” Westeinde said. “What are you doing to make Ottawa sticky for these individuals?” Among the potential new permanent Ottawans are the roughly 120,000 students who come here to study at the city’s colleges and universities.

support new ideas when they come forward. “Lansdowne was a game-changer,” he said, but lamented the fact that the people behind the redevelopment of Lansdowne – Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group – didn’t get more vocal support from others in the construction industry. He took a poke at the Friends of Lansdowne, a group opposed to the plans that were delayed but finally approved, saying, “I’d bet they are friends with what Lansdowne has become now.” He said at LeBreton Flats – where four proposals have been short-listed by the NCC – there will be special interest groups which will speak out against them. The redevelopment of the former Rockcliffe airbase is also expected in the future. Westeinde told the construction industry audience to have their say when new ideas come forward. “You’ve got to speak up if you want to see game-changing things happen in this city.” CHARBONNEAU INQUIRY

Massicotte referenced the effects of the Charbonneau inquiry into corruption in Quebec’s construction industry during a speech before the Ottawa Construction Association on Feb. 24. He said the federal government has new regulations that will preclude companies bidding on federal projects if the company or its management has been convicted of certain crimes, including fraud, bribery and tax evasion. One of the first companies to feel the sting of the new rules may be SNC-Lavalin Group, which has been charged with bribery relating to work the company did in Libya. The charges have not been proven in a court of law, but if convicted, the company won’t be allowed to bid on federal projects for as long as 10 years. It could mean SNC-Lavalin will miss out on the $5-billion Champlain Bridge project in Montreal, Massicotte said. Massicotte added that construction companies will face more paperwork under the new guidelines, but his association and its 20,000 member firms welcome the rules. “It’s more hoops to jump through but it’s a good thing,” he said. “People at first were skeptical (of more rules) but the CCA is behind it.” Massicotte said the CCA has also invested $100,000 to prepare an ethics course that will be made available for free to all association members.

While the future looks good on paper, there will be challenges; many related to staffing. Serge Massicotte, the chair of the Canadian Construction Association, said the industry will need 300,000 more workers by 2023. He said he expects half of them will move from other industries or will

There’s never a worry about rainy day cancellations, because with our covered sports domes, rainy days just become indoor sports days. And, with Thunderbird’s excellent par-3 golf course on site, our camping experience is unlike any other in Ottawa. Running for eight weeks – starting July 6th and going until August 28th – the Thunderbird Sports sports camp is only $225 (plus HST) per child. That’s not all, registering before April 30th gives families a discount of $10 off per family. When you think about all that you’re getting, the value is unprecedented. For example, a healthy lunch is included every day for each camper, along with complimentary pre and post-camp care (if need be). Thunderbird Sports Centre takes care of it all. Kids enjoy a handful of fun activities like golf, archery, basketball, soccer, volleyball, dodgeball, ball hockey, water games and theme days. Not only that, Thunderbird Sports Centre is the exclusive home of the new game Foot Golf (you may have seen that report on CTV News last year). There’s always something new and exciting happening.

Local schools prepare for Everest students Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

0305.R0023155448

When Everest College closed its 14 Ontario locations in February, nearly 2,500 students were left wondering how to finish their studies, including some who were just a day away from graduation. Across the province, publicly funded colleges and some private schools have rolled out the welcome mat, encouraging the former Everest students to complete their courses on their campuses. Everest is owned by U.S.based Corinthian Colleges, which announced Everest filed for Canadian bankruptcy protection after Ontario suspended its licence to operate the schools. In addition to more than 2,000 students, Everest employed about 450 people in Ontario. “We are extremely disappointed that the ministry has taken these abrupt actions,” said Corinthian chairman and CEO Jack Massimino in a statement posted on Everest’s website. “Our Canadian subsidiary had been working with the ministry for an extended period of time with the goal of achieving a satisfactory outcome for stu-

dents, employees and other stakeholders in Canada.” Joe Hixson, speaking for bankruptcy trustee the Abernathy MacGregor Group, said he’s aware that other schools are helping out the Everest students whose term ended abruptly. “The Ministry (of Education) is available to students on a case-by-case basis,” Hixson said. In Ottawa, Algonquin College offers some courses that are similar to some of the offerings Everest provided. “I feel we have an obligation to help,” said Algonquin president Cheryl Jensen. “The students have hopes and dreams, and through no fault of their own, this happened.” Jensen said the Everest students will need the province’s approval to shift any tuition refund they receive to another school, such as Algonquin. “They’re calling us,” Jensen said, adding the college is trying to create a “one-stop shop” so the Everest students can get information quickly. She said the closure of Everest shouldn’t be seen as an indictment of private schools. “There are good private

colleges in Ontario,” Jensen said. PROVINCE ‘STANDING IN THE WAY’

Herzing College founder Henry Herzing said his schools are willing to take in former Everest students, whether or not they get a tuition refund from the province. Herzing said students arriving with transcripts from Everest will get academic credit at Herzing colleges – including the Ottawa location – and if they’ve already paid their tuition at Everest, they’re good to go at Herzing, even if they never receive a tuition refund. “We’ll give them credit, both academic and financial,” Herzing said from the private college’s head office in Milwaukee. “So far we’ve been able to accommodate them and we’ll do everything possible.” If a student does join Herzing and later gets a tuition refund from their time at Everest, Herzing said the student should pay for the time spent at his schools, but he doesn’t want anyone turned away because of money. “There is a cost to this. In some cases we may have to start another class (because of increased student numbers).” Herzing said the only thing holding back Everest students is the provincial government. He said Everest was covered by the province’s tuition recovery fund and had a bond that could also offset debts, but students’ desire to get back inside a classroom are being delayed by the Ontario government, which is processing the refunds. “The government is standing in the way,” Herzing said. “The province is saying, ‘Don’t go to another school. Do nothing.’ We’re ready for them to come on in. “I feel like I’m at the scene of an accident and people

He said it’s possible – if the province acts quickly – to add new programs at his schools that Everest’s students could attend and the defunct college’s instructors could teach. “We are willing, and probably other schools are willing, to do that,” Herzing said. PROVINCE ACTS

As of Feb. 25, the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities says staff have provided information sessions to more than 2,000 students at the 14 Everest campuses to advise them of next steps and distribute

training completion assurance fund packages, which are designed to help eligible students complete their training at another institution, or arrange refunds. The ministry has received 735 student claim forms for training completions or refunds under the fund.

so the extra applicants can be accommodated. Pryce said demand is coming from students in early childhood education, dental assistant, office administration, paralegal, accounting and payroll programs.

DAY AWAY FROM GRAD

At Toronto’s Centennial College, preparations are underway to deal with potential demand for the school’s programs that are similar to those offered at Everest, courses such as personal service worker, law enforcement, massage, esthetics and physical therapy. “We’ve alerted academic advisers in those areas to be ready for inquiries,” said Mark Toljagic of Centennial’s communications department. Centennial and a private college that serves the Toronto area – National Academy of Health and Business – went so far as to issue press releases encouraging Everest’s recent students to consider enrolling. The National Academy also offered support to the students, including use of their computers and printers as well as career advice.

Algonquin’s Janice Pryce is co-ordinating the college’s communication with Everest students. “We’ve probably seen about 100 requests (for information),” Pryce said on Feb. 25. “We’ve talked to them about the college and giving them some options.” Some were very close to completion of their Everest course, taking part in work placements that had to come to an end suddenly because, with Everest’s demise, they would be uninsured while in a workplace. “Some were a day away from graduation” Pryce said. She said students in Everest’s personal service worker program form the largest contingent of people seeking information from Algonquin. Algonquin may increase capacity in some programs

Meet Ottawa’s new fire chief Jessica Cunha

Ottawa’s new fire chief is Gerry Pingitore, who comes to the table with close to four decades of experience. Continuing to promote the fire service’s public educa-

tion program is one of his priorities as he takes over the top job from John deHooge, who retired at the end of January. “Our public education program has always been very, very important to us,” said Pingitore, who was ap-

pointed on Feb. 23. “Every opportunity we get we remind people to check their smoke alarms, check their escape plans. We do that through our public education division and inspection programs.” It’s the front-line staff,

those who carry out the programs, respond to emergencies and deal with day-today operations, who inspire him, said the West Carleton resident. “Working with those individuals, what they do day after day – the great work they do – certainly inspires you and motivates you to help the department become a premier service,” he said. MULTITUDE OF EXPERIENCE

Pingitore first served at a station in west Montreal before he was hired as a Nepean firefighter when the Barrhaven station was build in 1979. He became a volunteer firefighter in Carp after

helping a colleague build a house in Corkery. “As I rose through the ranks in my career side, I also rose through the ranks as a West Carleton volunteer.” With 37 years as a firefighter, Pingitore gained experience in all areas of fire service. When the city amalgamated, Pingitore became the west district fire chief in West Carleton, a position he held from 2001 to 2011. He was then appointed the assistant deputy chief for dispatch and communications and management of the fleet; a year later, Pingitore became deputy chief of urban, rural and special operations. “I certainly got to experience a multitude of assignments,” he said. “I thought I had reached the height of my career when I became the deputy chief of operations.”

Retirement Living Fair in fourth year Kanata Seniors Council

The Kanata Seniors Council will hold its fourth-annual Retirement Living Fair at the Kanata Seniors Centre on April 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. “The council got a lot of enquiries as to whether we would be holding a Retirement Living Fair this year,” said John Kern who heads up the fair’s working committee. “The good news is ‘yes’. And I believe that this is one

that many in Kanata and west district of Ottawa older adult communities will find to be well worth a visit.” The fair will feature 35 booths presenting goods and services all aimed at supporting and assisting the Kanata and the west District of Ottawa older adult communities. “The selection of exhibitors was drawn from a very broad range of ‘for profit’ companies and organizations principally concerned with the needs of

seniors,” said Kern. “We’ve concentrated on variety. Anything from financial planning, to physical domestic needs, residences offering broad and specialized living programs as well as institutions such as the West Ottawa Community Resource Centre and, of course, the city which has a number of programs designed to assist the retirement community.” Kern said that as the number and needs of seniors con-

tinues to grow,” services and programs are changing to meet the needs of older adults. The fair is one way to showcase those changes and developments.” Wheelchair friendly, free admittance with light refreshments will be available at the event at the seniors centre, located at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr. For more information visit the Kanata Seniors Council website at kanataseniors.ca.

Rideau Canal stays open record-breaking 47 straight days Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

It’s been a cold winter, but some skaters would say it’s been worth it. Skaters have been able to glide up and down the Rideau Canal for more than 47 straight days since it opened for the

Orléans residents Willi and Lise von Schmidt skate up the canal on its record-breaking day on Feb. 25.

season in January. The 7.8-kilometre skate way broke a record for the number of consecutive days it has been open to the skating public on Feb. 25. The cold winter has kept the canal open, whereas in previous years, it has had to shut down whenever temperatures rise to a point where the ice deteriorates significantly. Ottawa has seen temperatures dip below -20 C on more than 30 days this year so far. The city’s unrelenting frigid temperatures on certain days

have even given it the moniker of the world’s coldest capital. The previous record of 46 consecutive days of skating was in 200304. The average number of skating days the city has seen over the last five years was 42. As of Feb. 18, the canal has seen more than 680,000 skaters and an average of 17,000 per day. This was actually a dip compared to previous years, which saw an average of 20,000 – and maybe a sign that not all skaters are pleased with the cold.

CHEO team launches eating disorder support website Staff

Long waiting lists for children and teens who need to be assessed for an eating disorder have prompted a research team at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario to develop a new educational website designed to better inform parents and caregivers of children, nine to 18, who may be suffering from an eating disorder or eating difficulties. “As practitioners, we were frustrated and concerned about the wait lists for an eating disorder assessment in Ottawa and other parts of the country,” said Dr. Wendy Spettigue, an associate professor in the University of Ottawa’s department of psychiatry. She co-led the development of Canped.ca with Dr. Mark Norris and members of CHEO’s Pediatric Research on Eating Disorders and Obesity team. “We don’t want youth to be deteriorating while they wait for help. We want to help parents get an earlier start to support their child to recovery,” Spettigue said in a statement released Feb. 23. For that reason, Spettigue, Norris and their research team are now looking for feedback from parents and caregivers in Canada to gauge whether the information on Canped.ca

boosts what they know about eating disorders and helps them make informed decisions about the care of their child or teen. “Eating disorders are severe mental illnesses with dangerous medical complications,” Norris, an associate professor in the University of Ottawa’s department of pediatrics, said in the statement. “This website helps parents understand that eating disorders are not the fault of the parent or the child, and answers many of the questions

they may have relating to the illness, including reasons to worry, meal support, emotional support and treatment options.” The new website offers six different teaching chapters for parents on what is an eating disorder, medical risks, understanding these disorders, treatment, meal support and practical tips on supporting a child. Canped.ca also has a list of recommended resources as well as short videos and animated slideshows.

Parents and caregivers who voluntarily enrol in the research study can access Canped.ca. They must provide their consent and will be required to watch videos and answer questionnaires before and after viewing the website. The research project and website development are being funded by the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada, Farm Boy and the Bell Let’s Talk Mental Health initiative. To register for the research project, visit Canped.ca.

CREDITOR-PROOFING A SMALL BUSINESS CORPRATION My husband and I are the sole shareholders and directors of an incorporated retail business. We have been quite successful and are generating cash excess to business requirements. We do not want to pay the cash out to ourselves now, and pay high rates of tax, but at the same time this cash is a significant part of a retirement fund. We have no creditors, other than trade creditors payable in the ordinary course. How do we protect this cash for our retirement? You are asking a good question. In the event of an unexpected economic downturn or legal claim against your active business corporation, the excess cash generated in the business could be exposed to potential creditors. Once the liability is crystalized, it may be too late to take action that will protect the cash. You have also correctly identified that the simplest solution –payment of the cash out to yourselves – attracts undesirable tax consequences.

About J. Robert Allan

R0013157610_0305

Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

A cost efficient solution is the creation of a holding corporation. The holding corporation structure, when designed properly, allows excess money from your active business corporation to be paid by dividend to the holding corporation, tax free. The holding corporation is a separate legal entity, and is generally insulated from claims against your active business corporation. Care is required that the desired tax treatment is achieved in the structuring of the holding corporation. There are other financial planning considerations, such as ensuring the availability of the lifetime capital gains exemption, which must be addressed by the new structure. This type of corporate structuring may also be implemented as part of a broader strategy for business succession and included as part of your estate planning. Talk to us about your business needs.

Birthing centre delivers options for Ottawa parents Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre celebrates first year in operation Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Little Madalynn Northcott became baby No. 22 when she was delivered 10 days early into the hands of a midwife just a 20-minute drive from her Nepean home, yet still surrounded by the comforts of home: an enormous tub, walk-in shower and even a fireplace. Immediately following Madalynn’s arrival at 1:21 a.m. on May 3, 2014, her mother, Jessica MacGregor, was cocooned in a large warm blanket. She nursed her newborn, showered, ate a breakfast of

eggs and fruit and sipped plenty of water. And while the city still slept – about four hours after she was admitted to the not-forprofit Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre in the late stages of labour and gave birth to the 22nd baby delivered at the centre – she and her partner Austin Northcott tucked their newborn into her car seat and made their way back home to begin their life as a family of three. It was exactly the experience the first-time mom hoped for when she signed up for the services of a midwife and decided to give birth at the centre,

which became the second standalone midwife-led centre of its kind in the province when it opened its doors on Feb. 3, 2014. MacGregor did not want to give birth in a hospital. “I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve never had a birth at a hospital, but I didn’t (like) the idea of people telling me what I had to do,” she said. “So I like the idea of being able to make my own decisions. “Then, when I came for the tour, I was like, ‘Yah, this is exactly what I was hoping for,’” she said of the homey environment and the massive tubs in the centre’s three birthing suites. More than 50 per cent of clients give birth in the tubs. “Even though home is comfortable, you’re stressed about stuff,” said MacGregor, who laboured in the warm water of one of the tubs. “So I wanted to still be at home, but not be worried about all the home stuff.” During the centre’s first year of operations, there were 139 births. Of the 175 admissions that inaugural year, 35 non-urgent cases were transferred to the General campus of The Ottawa Hospital for issues such as prolonged labour or for pain relief. Midwives at the centre don’t administer epidurals or

Centre to divert more low-risk births from hospitals: director Continued from page 33

Studies in the U.K. show that 45 per cent of pregnancies are considered low risk and that these women should deliver outside of a hospital and would experience better outcomes for them and their babies, as well as fewer medical interventions, such as cesarean sections, she said. “So it’s about cost and it’s also about less intervention,” Grimshaw said, adding that the centre, which operates on a $1.2-million annual budget, is being measured on clinical outcomes for mother and baby, cost-avoidance and client satisfaction. While the number of admissions to the Ottawa centre in its first year is promising, the facility can accommodate 2,000 clients per year. Achieving this will be challenging because there aren’t enough midwives who can oversee the births of 500 clients at the centre, a shortage that is not unique to Ottawa, said Grimshaw. The Ottawa centre draws on 47 full- and part-time midwives from midwifery practices in Blackburn Hamlet, the Glebe, Richmond, Vanier, near Findlay Creek, as well as in Brockville and Cornwall, which all have waiting lists. Toronto’s birthing centre has a little more than 100 midwives. There are more than 660 registered midwives across the province.

Wendy Grimshaw, executive director of the Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre, stands in front of a mural of photographs of babies born at the centre since it opened a year ago. “We’ve got 47 midwives, which sounds like a lot, but it isn’t,” said Grimshaw, who also heads up a regional task force that began work last fall to examine client demand, whether there are enough midwives and any factors that may be preventing more people from pursuing this occupation. “If the ministry wants to get low-risk births out of hospital, they’ve created this birth centre, but there’s probably other things they need to do from this health-care system point of view to shift that balance,”

Grimshaw said. After learning she was pregnant and signing up for a midwife, MacGregor had to wait six months before she got one. “I think I was even lucky to get in,” she said. “That’s the issue here,” said Grimshaw. “That’s our missing piece.” Despite the shortage, the client roster at the Ottawa centre, which is governed by a volunteer board of directors, twothirds of whom are midwives, shows promise. “It’s fascinating to me that

over half of our clients are firsttime moms,” Grimshaw said. “This is a pilot. The interesting thing is this is a great start.” Once the two-year pilot is complete and the data has been assessed, a decision will be made on the centre’s future: close it, scale back the size of the facility or open satellite centres in other parts of the municipality to better serve more women in outlying areas. The centre, which has 11 staff, was opened amid much support in the community from hospitals, paramedics and Ottawa Public Health. “These things only succeed if a community is behind them in supporting it,” Grimshaw said. The centre, which offers bilingual services, is still trying to get its message out in an effort to inform more people about the services it provides, and that the cost is covered by the province. All care provided by midwives and labour and delivery services at the centre are covered by the Ontario Health In-

surance Plan. “This is my goal is to make it mainstream, because this is a mainstream option,” she said. Pregnant women and their partners are invited to tour the space in advance of a birth, during which time they can see the three birthing suites, which resemble luxury hotel rooms. They are equipped with the tools of a midwife’s trade, as well as a massive tub, large bed, two support slings and other birthing aids, a large walk-in shower, fireplace and a seating area that resembles a living room. On the tour, expectant parents also learn how close the centre is to paramedic headquarters, which is just down the road, and that CHEO and the General campus of The Ottawa Hospital are less than a 10-minute drive away. “That gives people a real sense of comfort,” said Grimshaw. The average length of stay for those admitted to the centre is about three-and-a-half hours. “That’s the only criticism I

get, ‘Gee, I’d like to stay here a little longer,’” Grimshaw said with a smile. “It’s a different model of care because a midwife is following you.” Following a birth, midwives will do home visits the first, third and fifth day, as well as at the six-week mark. “The client satisfaction has been just amazing and gratifying to see how women are having just such empowering experiences,” Grimshaw said. The public is invited to an anniversary celebration at the centre on March 7, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., during which time people can tour the space, talk to a midwife, learn about wellness services that are also available at the facility, such as yoga, baby sign language and prenatal and nutritional classes.

Scammers targeting small business owners Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

When in doubt, check it out is the message Hydro Ottawa is sharing in the wake of suspicious callers attempting to scam small business owners across Ottawa out of their money. Since last October, scammers claiming to represent Hydro Ottawa have been calling several small business owners in Ottawa threatening to cut off their electrical service within the hour if they don’t provide payment by prepaid debit card, credit card or wire transfer. “There were several even this week,” Hydro Ottawa spokeswoman Rebecca Hickey said on Feb. 27, reason why the utility is urging people to be cautious so they don’t fall victim. “Some of the ones that we’ve heard this week (are) that the business owners are being encouraged to go to a gas station to purchase prepaid credit cards and then to read out the numbers of the credit cards,” she said. Other utility companies in Ontario, including in the Greater Toronto Area, and across Canada are reporting a similar scam targeting small businesses. PowerStream, a municipal hydro provider based in Vaughn, Ont., issued a public notification last September about a scam making the © SBSI 2015 rounds. Hickey did not know how much money Ottawa-area customers have been conned out of, but some who have reported these incidents didn’t turn over any cash. “They were calling Hydro Ottawa to verify whether it was accurate,” Hickey said, adding that concerned callers are informed this is not the company’s business practice. “Our collections process is not something that happens in an hour, so that should be a red flag right there,” she said. “If your bill was in collections there’s multiple letters, there’s phone calls, there’s a hand-delivered note from someone in

Hydro Ottawa is urging small business owners across Ottawa to be vigilant if they receive suspicious calls from people claiming to represent the utility company and threaten to have the electricity cut off within the hour if they don’t immediately receive a financial payment. Customers are asked to report suspicious incidents to Hydro Ottawa and the Ottawa police fraud unit. a Hydro Ottawa uniform and badge on that should make you feel that it’s legitimate.” The con artists are not just targeting people who have unpaid bills. “I think they’re targeting anyone,” Hickey said. “Unfortunately, some people do fall victim. “You would hope that when people hear this that they are not considering it valid and they are almost hanging up right away.” Police are urging people to be vigilant when someone demands money. “No banks or business would be taking your money through filled-up debit or credit cards and gift certificates,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman. Hydro Ottawa, which serves 319,500 customers in Ottawa and Casselman, Ont., said it has not received similar scam reports from clients who are homeowners. Anyone who has received a

suspicious call from someone claiming to be a representative of Hydro Ottawa is asked to verify the information by calling the utility company’s customer service department at 613-738-6400, which is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Those Hydro Ottawa customers who have given financial information or payments to a suspicious caller are asked to contact the Ottawa police fraud unit by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 5433. Police are also urging anyone who has received a suspicious call to notify fraud investigators, regardless if they handed over money and were victimized. “It’s about giving us some leeway to investigate these matters even if you weren’t actually a victim of losing money,” Benoit said. Hydro Ottawa is also asking people to report suspicious calls or emails to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by calling 1-888-495-8501.

A large articulated truck blocks traffic on Manotick Main Street Feb. 24 after knocking over a traffic light in the village core.

Truck accident renews calls for local study emma.jackson@metroland.com

An oversized truck that knocked down a traffic light in the middle of Manotick on Feb. 24 has residents pushing even harder to get trucks out of their village. The articulated vehicle was turning north onto Manotick Main Street from Bridge Street around 12:40 p.m. when the conveyer equipment it was carrying pushed the pole into the southbound lanes. There were no cars in the lane at the time and the truck driver has not been charged, according to police. But residents are calling this the last straw. “I’m not surprised, not at all,” said Janice Domaratzki, who drove by the accident about 30 minutes after it happened. “The volume of those articulated trucks going by, it’s inevitable.” Professional engineer Chris Thompson also witnessed the aftermath. Given the configuration of the truck – with its load on the back half of the pivoting vehicle – and the tight corner, he said he doesn’t believe the truck would have made it safely even if it had illegally driven over the boulevard. “There’s not a lot of manoeuvrability,” Thompson said. “The truck driver’s going from a turning lane on Bridge onto Main Street ... The (conveyor equipment) swings out and knocks a light standard over. What else could he have done? He was already doing what he has to do to negotiate the corner.” Thompson said the real problem is why the truck was on Bridge in the first place. “That truck route was designated 50 years ago. Well, 50 years ago it was the

only way to get across the river,” Thompson said. “The designation is way out of date. The city has ignored its duty to be doing an area-wide truck study.” MAKING CONNECTIONS

That’s what Manotick Village and Community Association president Klaus Beltzner has been saying for several years. He wants the city to conduct a local study that would add key arterials to the truck route in the south end, allowing trucks to better access the Vimy Memorial Bridge that opened between Barrhaven and Riverside South last summer and limiting the number of trucks on Bridge. The last city-wide truck network was approved in 2005, but city staff have been holding off renewing it while downtown issues like the construction of an interprovincial bridge – and now possibly a tunnel – are considered. Beltzner said the new bridge should have sparked a review to update the south end situation until the city commits to the city-wide review. Instead, the city has been enforcing the current network. Last fall, residents were incensed to see new “no truck” signs popping up across the south end reminding trucks to stay on the proper roads – of which there are few. Right now only Mitch Owens and Leitrim roads are full truck routes heading east-west from the far end of Osgoode ward, while Rideau Road is a limited route. Earl Armstrong Road, which connects directly to the bridge, is open to trucks west of Limebank Road, but Limebank doesn’t allow trucks south of Earl Armstrong. That means drivers can’t take it

north from Mitch Owens. They also can’t take Albion Road, because right now it barely connects to Earl Armstrong, which is a dirt road in that area. For most, it’s easier to just go through Manotick. The local study is not in the city’s draft 2015 budget, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. See STUDY, page 43

Inlet Control Device installation in Bridlewood As a result of last year’s rain event in June 2014, the City will be cleaning and measuring all catch basins in Bridlewood this summer, in order to install Inlet Control Devices in late 2015. The purpose of Inlet Control Devices (ICD’s) is to control the amount of water that gets into the storm sewers to mitigate the risk of backups. This is a key feature to reduce the risk of basements from flooding as without these devices the sewers can get overloaded and the water can backup towards foundations via the sewer lateral. As a result of these installations that will be taking place in late 2015, you will observe water on the street more frequently. That is a sign that your basements are being protected. The City’s engineers do not anticipate that the snow melt in the spring will overload the sewer system however it is important this time of year to ensure catch basins are clear for when the long awaited spring melt comes! In the meantime, I would like to stress the importance to all residents that don’t already have a backwater flow valve, to please apply and submit an application to the City’s Residential Protective Plumbing Program (RPPP). The RPPP provides consultation and grant assistance services to City of Ottawa property owners who have experienced a backup of water or sewage in their basement caused by the overloading or blockage of City sewers. The protective plumbing evaluation is free and there is no cost to apply to the program. You may also be eligible for a grant to offset the cost of installing protective plumbing in your home. For further information, please do not hesitate to contact my office, or visit the City of Ottawa’s website, www. ottawa.ca.

Connecting people is at the heart of a public symposium hosted by the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, which is no stranger to fostering connections between cancer patients, their families and caregivers to experts, resources and information. The foundation’s next Cancer Connections presentation takes place Thursday, March 5, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre, located at 200 Coventry Rd. It will be a relaunch of the organization’s special presentation series, which has been held annually. “It’s probably appropriately called Cancer Connections because our objective is to bring people together with different perspectives and knowledge about cancer, cancer care, and to engage in a dialogue that everybody walks out, maybe inspired to some kind of action that leads to change for others or just more knowledgeable about what opportunities there are in the future,” said Linda Eagen, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, located at 1500 Alta Vista Dr. in the Riverview Park community. Upwards of 100 people are expected to attend the

upcoming event to hear from two “world-class” medical experts, Dr. Thomas Hudson and Dr. Anne Snowdon, who will each speak for about 20 minutes on personalized cancer treatment and 10 steps to a personalized health-care system. “Those are two areas that we continually strive to improve to make care better for each person in terms of ‘my cancer’ and ‘my life,’” Eagen said. Hudson is internationally renown for his work in genomics and human-genome variation, Hudson is currently the president and scientific director of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, which specializes in research in the prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. “He’s the lead research person in Ontario,” Eagen said. Dr. Anne Snowdon, chair of the International Centre of Health Innovation at Western University’s Ivey Business School, has been leading the centre’s work in sustainability and productivity in the healthcare system. “Shes really a champion for change in the health-care system,” Eagen said. She said the current healthcare system is not focused on the individual, but rather the person’s disease. As a result, people are

shunted between different medical departments depending on the stage of their illness, she said, adding that today people want to be partners with their health-care providers and part of the team – they want a personalized system of care. “She’s also looked at trends in information and technology and how that’s influencing how we should be set up as a health-care system, so we can be more efficient and better for the person, as opposed to an acute-care disease focus,” Eagen explained. “It should be health-focused. She’s pushing the envelope.” Their message on personalized care and treatment lie at the heart of the foundation’s signature Cancer Coaching program, the first of its kind in Canada that connects cancer patients, their families and caregivers with coaches who provide support and information throughout a patient’s journey following diagnosis. Since the program’s launch in November 2011, about 2,500 patients and families have received support. The foundation also contributes about $2 million each year to fund targeted new cancer therapies or clinical trials, such as in the treatment of lung and prostate cancers, through The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Through this, more than 180 new treatments have been funded, and more than 40 clinical trials have begun each year, allowing upwards of 2,000 people to access these treatments annually.

Linda Eagen, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, says the organization is relaunching its series of symposiums, which connects the public with medical and scientific experts. “It’s tapping into the best that science has to offer so that people have treatment that’s better for them,” Eagen said of the trial granting program. The organization’s goals through this grant program are intertwined with the objectives of its holistic coaching initiative. Research and studies have helped shape the foundation’s direction as it works to support people who have cancer, many of whom have said they don’t want to get bounced around in the health-care system and

that they desire improved support and access to the newest treatments. They want and need personalized care and treatment, Eagen said. “The community wants this. The experts are saying that (these are) the changes that are required in our system,” she said. “Often times when we talk about cancer, we focus just on the disease. And now we have the focus on the disease and the focus on the person and (the presenters) both have

very strong opinions about some of the change that’s required within our cancer-care system,” Eagen said. Following the presentations, there will be an openfloor discussion during which audience members can ask the experts questions. Admission to the Cancer Connections symposium is $20 per person.

Cecil, mouse answer longstanding question MARY COOK Memories move his ears up and down, Cecil spent much of his time plotting revenge. And Cecil was scared of nothing. He respected Miss Crosby our teacher, but even her severest reprimand made little impact on the young farm boy who stood close to six feet tall at 11 years of age. The day he caused near havoc in the Northcote School was bitterly cold. Miss Crosby had ordered us all into the basement at recess, and we were to be on our best behaviour. That meant little to Cecil. He chased the girls around the posts that held up the floor, and hid behind the wood pile to emerge when the meekest of us were within grabbing distance. I saw him head for the darkest corner of the basement. He was sneaking around quietly as if he was hiding from someone. He made a pounce behind the woodpile. When he came out his hands were thrust deep in his pocket and he wore that look on his face that told me we were all to be in for a surprise. He walked ever so slowly

City Councillor, Kanata North TOWN HALL MEETING, MARCH 9, 7 pm, Beaverbrook Library This meeting is scheduled earlier in the month to avoid March Break.

Another major item will be a follow up from the March 4th meeting with respect to future activity on the KNL lands. Other items on the agenda include proposed new bus routes in Kanata North, exciting developments at the Wesley Clover Equestrian Park and information on business activities. Everyone is welcome at a Town Hall Meeting. Time is provided for community announcements and you can raise any item about our community that you’ve hear about or to get advice.

because I was so young, the older girls at the Northcote School vowed it took away any shape they might have. In the summer time, the woolsey-gansey became simply a gansey. It was made of sheer dimity material, but I hated it just as passionately. Marguerite, my rival at the Northcote School, vowed she never had to wear a woolseygansey. She certainly wasn’t old enough for a brassier, so I couldn’t imagine what she wore under her blouses and sweaters. For a long time this dilemma caused me to ponder for hours at a time. And I took to looking closely at Marguerite to see if I could glimpse any tell-tale sign that she in fact did have on a woolseygansey. The whole issue came to a head one winter day. Marguerite had few friends at the Northcote School. Her uppity attitude did little to endear her to any one of us. Cecil considered it his personal mission in life to bring to Marguerite as much misery as possible. Ever since the day she told him he was a freak because he could

hand I could see a squawking and very agitated field mouse. It was nothing to see any number of mice seeking shelter in the basement of the Northcote School, which didn’t make it the most pleasant place to be, even on a cold winter’s day. Well, what a commotion Cecil caused. Marguerite made a beeline for the stairs and most of us were right behind her. Within seconds Miss Crosby assessed the situation, and ripped the blouse from her shoulders. I saw something far more interesting than the mouse that scurried quickly to the nearest hole in the baseboard. There for all to see was a woolsey-gansey exactly like the one I had on that very minute. It probably had come from Eaton’s catalogue just as mine had. Even though Marguerite was still hysterical and Miss Crosby had gone into the basement to seek out the criminal who had done what she called a “dastardly” act, I walked over to my nemesis and ran my finger around the neck of her undergarment. “Aren’t those woolsey-ganseys the most hateful things?” I asked, my voice dripping like sugar. Marguerite was a long way off from wearing a bra. She would be in a gansey, just like the rest of us young girls at the Northcote School.

T

he only thing I could tolerate about the woolsey-gansey was the name. At that time in my young life I was attracted to double names and would dearly loved to have been called by both of mine, just like Princess Margaret Rose. And so the only redeeming feature of the woolsey-gansey in my estimation was its double name. The woolsey-gansey was an atrocious undershirt that all young girls were forced to wear until they were old enough to wear a brassier. And back in the 1930’s it was a mark of maturity when you graduated from the woolseygansey into your first bra. My sister Audrey, after many years of proclaiming she was ready to wear a brassier, finally succeeded in convincing Mother that unless she was allowed the privilege immediately, she would be forced to give up playing ball or tag at the Northcote School. As far as I was concerned she was a long way off from needing a brassier, but her argument was convincing enough that on Mother’s next trip into Renfrew, Audrey became the proud owner of two new .54 cent bras, bought from the corset department of Walkers Stores. And I, unhappily, inherited yet another woolsey-gansey. In the winter time, this most hated of all undergarments had short sleeves, which scratched like blue fury. And although it was the least of my concerns

Last November, city staff posted ‘no truck’ signs reminding drivers which roads in Osgoode and Gloucester-South Nepean wards are suitable for trucks, much to the chagrin of Manotick residents.

Study not yet in the budget Continued from page 37

“There’s lots of things that get funded that aren’t line items in the budget,” said RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. “We’ve done projects before where I couldn’t point to it in the budget.” He said he’s in talks with city staff to get the study started as soon as possible. And he’s got the support of the mayor; in response to a resident’s letter this month, Mayor Jim Watson said a local study is needed to give “proper access” to the new bridge. “While the opening of the Vimy Memorial Bridge has created the single largest reduction in truck traffic, it is safe to say that more can be done to properly share the load, hence the localized truck route study,” Watson wrote. But even with the study underway it could take several years to see any real benefit, since the study will largely just identify roads that need to be prioritized for upgrades, Moffatt said.

“If the roads were ready to go they would be in there (already),” he said. He’s asked staff to see if any of the roads could take trucks now, or if they could possibly be brought online with minor upgrades. “I’ve asked staff to take a closer look at Limebank, because even if we could add half loads to it, that would be something,” he said. But adding sections to the truck route is only one part of the solution. Beltzner also eventually wants Bridge Street removed from the truck route. In the meantime he wants south end wards to share the load between the Manotick, Vimy Memorial and Hunt Club bridges. He also w­ants an interim ban on oversized trucks like the one that got stuck last week. “(Oversized trucks were) ok when there was no other alternative but now there is an alternative and they shouldn’t be going through Manotick,” he said, noting that wide loads are especially dangerous for

pedestrians and cyclists using the thoroughfare. “The (wide trucks) tend to have to go right to the curb if someone is turning left onto Dickinson, and that would behead anyone that’s walking along.” According to the city’s truck route designation policy, rural arterials like Bridge are generally classified as truck routes. But the criteria also states that truck routes should avoid pedestrian corridors, minimize impacts on areas like residential neighbourhoods and schools, and avoid bisecting communities. While few homes front onto Bridge Street, there is a seniors’ residence at the corner of Bridge and Dickinson Circle (with another one planned across the street) and Manotick Public School is just a few blocks further east. Beltzner said he’d also like to see parking and cycling facilities on Bridge Street to discourage truckers from choosing that route.
