‘Wigs became my saving grace’ Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Canadian Cancer Society’s wig salon for cancer patients has moved out of the Ottawa Hospital General Campus and expanded their services with the help of Chartwell retirement residences.

The salon, which provides fitting services and free wigs for cancer patients, has helped hundreds

of people in the 12 years its been in operation. However their location at the general campus was shrinking, with time restrictions and expensive parking making it less than ideal.

But now the salon has moved to two Chartwell locations: New Edinburgh Square and the Kanata residence at 20 Shirley’s Brook Drive.

Summer Camp Matt Barr

Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs.

What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.)

Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few.

Here are some general considerations: Your child’s interests What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her.

If your child is creative, then choose a camp that offers arts and crafts. Camp choices are as varied as children themselves. Choose a camp with the specific focus geared toward your child.

Day camp versus overnight camp Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old. Only you can decide when the time is right.

Convenient location Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp.

Cost Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be misleading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”.

3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common.

A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want.

Research With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started:

4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory?

1. Who do you hire as counselors? Are they experienced? How old are they?

Are they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check?

8. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children.

2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care? Is there an additional cost for extended hours?

9. How are different age groups divided?

5. What do you do on rainy days?

Are your facilities air-conditioned?

6. Do the children swim every day?

What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers?

7. Do you offer any discounts?

10. What if my child doesn’t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee?

What is your cancellation policy?

11. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a web-site? Can I register online? Can I pay by credit card?

The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions. Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don’t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching. You need to feel good about your decision.

After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime.

April862147 2 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 28, 2016

Aerial larvicide application begins in Kanata The aerial application of granular larvicides by helicopter, was scheduled to begin last weekend in north Kanata. According to the city, the aerial drop will not impact active recreational green space.

Next week a more concentrated aerial application is scheduled.

The Kanata north nuisance mosquito control program deals with treating mosquito larvae in wetlands so they won’t hatch. No part of the program involves targeting adult mosquitoes.

To control nuisance mosquito growth in north Kanata and the surrounding areas, the ground application of larvicide is being applied throughout the affected area until Sept. 15.

The program uses Bti, (Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis) and Bs (Bacillus Sphaericus), which are naturally-oc-

curring bacteria, that is dropped directly into the water where the larvae are found.

Feeding larvae draw it in with the water, which stops them from becoming adult mosquitoes.

The Health Canada Regulatory Agency says Bti and Bs have no effect on humans, birds, fish, animals or other insects, but destroys the stomachs of mosquito larvae that hatch in water.

Quality control includes weekly monitoring at five sites.

There will also be post-treatment larva surveillance and extra applications of larvicide if needed.

The treatment area map and program details can be found on ottawa.ca.

For further information about the larvicide application, contact GDG Environnement at 1-877-227-0552.

A photo taken by a Beaverbrook resident shows the door of a community mailbox located at the corner of Leacock Drive and Kingsford Crescent left open on April 20. The resident said the mailbox door was left open, leaving about 40 mail slots, many of them full, unsecure for more than an hour before it was closed and locked again.

A Beaverbrook resident stopped by her local community mailbox on April 20 to find the box’s door had been left open, leaving mail for about 40 residences unsecure.

The box’s door has since been closed and locked after more than an hour left open, said the resident.

Diana Pilsworth said she

KITCHENS BATHROOMS

went to the community mailbox at the corner of Leacock Drive and Kingsford Crescent at about noon and found the main door of the box was left open.

“I took my mail out of it and I took my neighbour’s on either side … but there were parcels in there and all sorts of stuff left wide open,” said Pilsworth.

“Somebody could have come along and just picked up everybody’s mail and it

could have been something important. Like we had a stockbroker’s statement in there. They could have found out all our personal information,” she said.

The box was closed more than an hour later, said Pilsworth.

“I think (Canada Post) should be taken to task over (the issue),” she said.

Canada Post did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Injured student in stable condition at hospital, say paramedics adam.kveton@metroland.com

A young A.Y. Jackson Secondary School student is in stable condition at hospital after sustaining a minor stab wound near the school on April 26, say police.

The young man, believed to be 14 years old according to paramedics, was stabbed near the school but not on school grounds said Const.

Chuck Benoit of the Ottawa police.

Police responded to the stabbing at about 1 p.m., he said.

Public school board media relations officer, Sharlene Hunter, has since said that two students were involved in the incident – one injured and the other who is now in custody.

Ottawa police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy said he could confirm that police have a young person in custody, but would not say whether the person is a student at the school or if the person in custody has anything to do with the stabbing incident.

“The school was placed in a lock down for a short period of time,” said Hunter. “Classes have since resumed.”

Though police are referring to the student’s injury

as a stabbing, paramedics would not comment as to the cause of the wound, referring to it as “a minor traumatic injury,” said J.P. Trot-

tier, spokesman with Ottawa paramedics.

He said the injured student is in now in hospital in stable condition.

Cancer society wig salon moves to Chartwell residences Continued from page 1

The first fitting day for the salon at the Kanata location was April 18, and Metroland Media spoke with a former cancer patient from Stittsville to talk about what the wig salon has meant to her.

LOSING YOUR HAIR

“You can tell everyone you are fine, you can act like everything is great and you can feel like everything is OK, but as soon as you start looking like you are a cancer victim or survivor or fighter or whatever you want to call it, it’s more obvious and you can’t hide it and then it was an obvious sign on the outside that I was a changing person. I went from a 28-year-old with long hair to a mullet-skullet bald patch.”

Wearing wigs, and the wig salon, gave her the opportunity to feel beautiful again, she said.

“I realized that I can be any hair colour I wanted now and I could do any style that I wanted. It was so much easier and I looked like a healthy person as opposed to someone that was going through what I was going through. I could totally hide it, which I liked,” said Mountain.

“Wigs became like my saving grace.”

But wigs are not cheap.

Mountain said a decent syn-

thetic wig costs about $900, while a high-end one made of real hair can cost $2,200.

However the wig salon gave her the opportunity to control what she looked like regardlress of the price.

The cancer society’s wig salon provides free new and gently used wigs to cancer patients who have lost their

hair due to treatment. Other head coverings are also offered as well.

They provide a quiet, safe place for fittings, said Mountain, and the move to Chartwell locations have only made it more comfortable.

Visits, by appointment only, can be booked by call-

ing 613 723 1744 ext. 3607.

All Chartwell locations are also operating as wig donation drops as well, said Margaret Dennis, sales and marketing consultant with Chartwell.

“We are very excited about our partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society,” she said.

THER'S MO

Y GIFT DA

PERFECT

Kimberly Mountain appeared to be a healthy 28-year-old with dark hair down to her waist when a seizure came out of nowhere in 2011.

“I had no symptoms, no warning, nothing,” said Mountain sitting in the Chartwell Kanata Retirement Residence room as the cancer society’s wig salon program started greeting cancer patients on April 18.

After going to the hospital she was told she had a brain tumour and later found it was cancerous.

Doctors performed brain surgery on her in March

of that year, and Mountain was given Valium to stay awake throughout the procedure so her cognitive functions could be tested as the procedure was performed.

“I kept telling them the whole time, if it’s cancer, I just don’t want my hair to fall out,” said Mountain.

But after undergoing radiation and then chemo, she had to confront that fear.

“It did make all of my hair fall out, except for a weird rat tail in the back,” she said.

It was a disheartening process, she said. She would wake up to find more of her hair had fallen out on her pillow. He husband, then her boyfriend would try and dispose of the hair before she saw it, but the visual results of her cancer treatment were too obvious.

“That was the only thing that made me really like at one point sit down on the floor and cry because it’s really obvious, you have cancer,” she said.

Adam Kveton/Metroland

Stittsville resident Kimberly Mountain checks out some of the wigs at the Canadian Cancer Society’s wig salon for cancer patients during its first day open at the Chartwell Kanata Retirement Residence on April 18. The cancer society announced a new partnership with Chartwell in Ottawa allowing the wig salon to move and expand.

lmost every morning I get up, wipe the sleep dust from my eyes and put on my workout clothes. It’s a way of signaling to myself that I’m going to the gym.

I don’t always get there, but a good percentage of the time, just having my stretchy clothes and running shoes on is enough to get me moving, even if I substitute gym time for a walk around the block.

It has the added benefit of faking out the neighbours, who all think I’m super fit because I walk around in gym gear every morning.

When I started going to the gym last fall, I vowed I would go twice per week, minimum. Setting the bar low guarantees success.

This guarantee of success means I don’t have to feel guilty if I miss a few days.

Achieving my weekly goal has the added benefit of encouraging me to stretch myself beyond the minimum.

On average, I hit the gym four times per week. It’s my new addiction.

I know from experience, however, that it’s hard to get moving if you’re in the habit of being dormant, watching back-to-back episodes of Breaking Bad or otherwise binge-watching Netflix. Sometimes the thought of having to meet the 150 minutes of physical activity per week recommended by health experts is

I would like to respond to your April 14 editorial, Taking a Toll On Every Driver.

Contrary to your assertions, evidence has shown that road tolls are indeed an effective tool to help manage traffic flows in urban settings.

You state that it’s “beyond galling” to have drivers pay for the roads through taxes, and then also charging them to drive on those roads. Well, by that logic, electricity should be free, because we paid for the hydro lines. Water should be free too, because we paid for the pipes and treatment.

No, we charge for consumption of these services in order to cover for the costs inherent in providing that service, and to help manage demand. The same principle should apply to roads.

When Ottawa’s LRT comes online (finally) we will have an effective way of travelling through the downtown core, at all times of day. Our existing cross-city rapid transit will

A

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse too daunting.

But perhaps setting the bar low is a good way to start, suggest the findings from a new study In Britain’s medical journal, The Lancet. It turns out that 15 minutes of exercise each day – or 75 minutes weekly – may be all you need to increase your life span and ward off disease. income

In the study of 416,175 individuals conducted between 1996 and 2008, the researchers found that people in the low-volume activity group – those who engaged in just 15 minutes of moderate physical exercise daily — had a 14 per cent reduced risk of all-cause mortality and had a three year longer life expectancy than those in the inactive group.

Every additional 15 minutes of daily exercise beyond the minimum 15 minutes per day was found to reduce all-cause mortality by an additional four per cent, and all-cancer mortality by one per cent.

Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines recommend adults exercise 30 minutes daily, or 150 minutes weekly. It’s not that much when you think about it. Yet, 61 per cent of adult Canadians are failing to meet that target.

In the past, I’ve criticized public health folk for reducing minimum exercise recommendations.

But I may have been wrong. Perhaps reducing the recommended amount would encourage more people to get moving, just a little bit.

Fifteen minutes daily is a much less daunting number than 30 minutes, and it’s very likely that getting people into the habit of regular exercise will encourage them to increase the amount over time.

If the findings in The Lancet translate to the general population, it may be time for yet another shakeup of the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines.

In the meantime, hitting pause on Netflix this evening and taking a brisk walk surely can’t hurt.

To the editor,

feed into the LRT, instead of into the downtown core, giving us the opportunity to expand our downtown green space, pedestrian-only areas, and cycling lanes to make the core a more livable place, and much more attractive to tourists. This can more than compensate for the problems we see in Ottawa such as, like you mention in the editorial, suburban shopping malls with massive parking lots (and poor transit service).

You state that if LRT means more people leave their cars at home that will be a “sign of success.” Traffic demand management is far more complex than that.

If we’re constantly widening roads and keeping gasoline prices low, then we’re pushing people into their cars.

Carrots are great, but sticks are more effective when it comes to getting people onto transit. Academic research has in fact specifically recommended road tolls for Ottawa.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and De-

velopment has also recommended congestion charges, road tolls and additional fuel and parking taxes as practical ways to increase transit ridership in Canada.

When travelling within Ottawa, the default option needs to be transit – or biking or walking where feasible – not using a private vehicle. To help contribute to such a reality, road tolls should be collected at appropriate points (perhaps during peak periods only), with the funds preferably funnelled into transit.

While city council chose recently to not even study the issue, I hope that cooler heads will prevail down the road and we will look at bringing in common sense traffic control measures, including road tolls. I commend Coun. David Chernushenko for initiating this discussion as tolls, while perhaps not politically popular, are nevertheless the right thing to do.

Code of conduct should not target dissent Ottawa Carleton District School Board chairwoman Shirley Seward and all but two trustees have finally got their code of conduct for school board trustees ready to bring the hammer down on those who don’t play well with others.

There was really only one holdout when the board’s newly developed code of conduct was passed at a committee of the whole meeting, and that was trustee Donna Blackburn. The other trustee who didn’t support the code abstained from voting.

The board takes an official vote on the matter on April 26.

The fact Blackburn didn’t support the code after she made an attempt to make sure such a code could not be used to silence dissent was defeated is not surprising considering Blackburn, and some of the comments she has made in the past, have rubbed many of her colleagues the wrong way.

Having a code of conduct for school board trustees seems perfectly reasonable, but the devil is in the details. And one detail of this code is the rather open ended definition of conduct the code

will police.

Blackburn says she is worried the code will be used as a tool to silence dissent, and despite what Seward says, that’s a valid concern.

“It’s the same set of behaviours we expect from our staff and our students,” Seward said.

But there is a big difference between what is expected of staff and students and what should be expected of trustees who are elected representatives of the people.

Yes it is perfectly reasonable to expect trustees to treat each other with respect, and have rules governing such things as harassment.

But anything that even hints at being a means of stifling dissent is problematic.

If Trustee A thinks a decision of Trustee B is wrong, they have every right, and in a democracy one can argue an obligation, to speak up and say so regardless of what other trustees think.

And considering that Blackburn’s motion to clearly state that a difference of opinion is not subject to some code of conduct test, was defeated, that is a worrying sign of how this code of conduct can be used in the future.

Safe injection sites might meet everyone’s needs

I

t’s easy to understand why many people, including the mayor of Ottawa and the city’s chief of police, oppose a supervised injection site in the city.

The idea goes against all logic: you want people to stop being addicted to drugs, but you provide a place where they can have access to them.

It’s hard to get your head around that, yet many people have been able to do so, including reputable people in both the health and law enforcement fields, in Ottawa as well as elsewhere.

They argue, most importantly, that safe injection sites save lives.

They also point out that safe injection sites save money that would be spent dealing with people who overdose on the street or contract HIV and hepatitis C from infected needles.

hol. Surely at the time many would have argued for tougher enforcement, rather than the legalizing of alcohol, but alcohol was indeed legalized. You wouldn’t say all alcohol problems were eliminated, but many were.

And of course we’re moving in the same direction with the federal government’s plans to legalize the use and sale of marijuana.

Lots of people oppose that, fearing it will make the drug too readily available, particularly to young people. But proponents take the opposite position — namely, that legalizing marijuana will make it easier to control the supply and distribution and possibly even reduce consumption.

The argument for safe injection sites is surely as logical as that, perhaps more so.

tion. We are stuck with a social problem — alcohol abuse, drug addiction — and we can’t eliminate it, try as we might. So we seek to minimize the damage. We regulate the sale of alcohol and impose certain restrictions on its consumption. Similar procedures will be put in place with regard to marijuana.

The safe injection site idea follows similar logic.

Ottawa’s mayor has argued, and he is not alone, that what is needed is not a safe injection site but more drug treatment centres, and that’s a good point.

But the difficulty is getting addicts to those treatment centres in the first place.

Perhaps the clinching argument is this: A safe injection site can also be a place where addicts are offered help from trained professionals to deal with their addictions.

Not all of them will take advantage of that, but some will.

‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ Union, residents call for more public consultation on changes to service delivery model

W NE TING IL S

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Residents, merchants and the Ottawa Police Association were among the crowd that urged the police services board to put the brakes on a plan to rejig the way officers are deployed on April 25.

The plan, called the service initiative program update, had a controversial element that includes reallocating resources like beat cops, community policing functions and district traffic functions to a “front line functional model.”

Acting Supt. Mark Ford, who presented the strategy, said it was about reducing the demand on officers.

“Our policing responsibilities will be carried out,” Ford said. “It’s about how we can be more efficient co-ordinating front line engagements.”

The plan got a failing grade from members of the public who spoke about the benefits of community policing in public engagement and crime reduction.

“If it ain’t broke,” don’t fix it,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans.

Deans added she understands the need for Ottawa police to look at more efficient ways to deliver service, but didn’t understand the plan to “dismantle” the community-policing model, which she said was one of the most effective parts of the system.

Deans also said she thought public consultation was coming way too late in the process.

Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof expressed frustration that the association hasn’t been invited to the table to discuss the proposed changes.

He said the service initiative as its proposed, could face some challenges with respect to the collective agreement.

Cheryl Parrott spoke to the board on behalf of a number

MORGAN’S GRANT – 418,800 Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Acting Supt. Mark Ford takes questions from media about a new service delivery model that would change the way Ottawa police officers are deployed during a police services board meeting on April 25. of community organizations, including the Hintonburg Community Association.

She said the neighbourhood went from having the highest number of service calls to the lowest – thanks in part to the community police officer.

She said the public was understandably nervous about changes, since so little information is available.

“Five months to implementation doesn’t seem like a lot of time,” she said, adding residents are worried about the loss of their community police officer.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said as a councillor and a resident, he sees the value of the community police officer.

“Things like crack houses don’t go away after one service call,” he said. “Sometimes it can take years, which is why it’s important to have specialized knowledge of the area” Leiper said the time to talk to the public is now.

Lucie Marleau, the Neighbourhood Watch Program Coordinator for Vanier, said the community police officer helped to find captains for a lot of the “dismantled” Neighbourhood Watch programs in the area.

“Without him, they would be in tatters,” she said.

Jasna Jennings, the executive director of the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area, said with the complex mix of retail, shelters and social service organizations, there needs to be a single point of contact, with knowledge of the area.

“There are so many players, officers have to have a

profound knowledge of the area,” she said.

Peggy DuCharme, executive director of the Downtown Rideau BIA, said that without a community police officer, there’s the danger of public apathy and unwillingness to report.

“You may see less calls for service,” she said.

Skof echoed the concerns of previous speakers.

“We hope the community understands that this will mean different service for areas like Vanier, Hintonburg and the market,” he said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, said it seemed like the plan was a done deal, and thought the public should have the chance to engage in meaningful consultation.

Fleury, who has been vocal about the police services’ plan to stop responding to bylaw noise complaints unless there’s a threat to public safety, said he didn’t want to be blindsided like the community and protective services committee was upon hearing that officers would no longer respond to noise complaints.

Board chair Eli El-Chantiry took exception to the bylaw example, and said there’s been talk of stopping the practice of responding to noise complaints since 2013.

“To come here and say we haven’t heard this before is unfair,” he said.

But Fleury said it’s been hard for councillors who don’t sit on the board to get information.

Ford said a strategy for public consultation will come out in May. He added that police hope to role out the service initiative program in 2017.

Not your regular gym class Kanata school gives students choice to focus on one sport Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A smattering of baseball, a week or two of soccer, some badminton, track and maybe some square dancing – these are some of the sports you might be taught in a regular physical education course in high school.

But Maurice-Lapointe secondary school in Bridlewood is offering students a new choice with a Physical Activity and Health program (Activité Physique et Santé or APS). Instead of learning and playing many sports for short periods of time, the new program gives students from grades 9 to 12 the ability to focus on a single sport for the entire year.

The program, now in its second year, currently offers volleyball and hockey concentrations, but school administrators hope to add basketball and soccer next year.

The school is also able to accommodate elite athletes who train at a high level in other sports. They currently have individual athletes training in swimming, tennis and figure skating, said Daniel Bottiglia, the program’s co-ordinator. This is done by allowing these students to take part in online correspondence classes.

The program grew out of a need to provide greater physical education opportunities to Franco-Ontarian students in the city’s west end, said Vice Principal Iftin Osman.

The program has students take regular classes in the morning and then a study period followed by a sports class in the afternoon.

For the hockey focus for example, students are on the ice twice a week, and in the class room for the rest learning sports theory, workouts with Greco Fitness in Stittsville and classes on nutrition.

Guest speakers like post secondary sports recruiters, elite athletes and others are also arranged.

The idea is to keep more kids out from behind a screen for longer, said Osman.

“We live in Kanata, it’s all about

Grade 9 student Taylor Carson, left, practices with the help of another player and fellow Maurice Lapointe secondary school student at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex during a class on April 18. technology,” he said. Indeed, the school already has an aviation and aerospace program for the tech side of things. But this program is meant to give athletically driven students a more balanced lifestyle.

To be permitted to take advantage of the program students must maintain a minimum 70 per cent grade average, and have certain requirements for conduct.

The idea is to show students “how to be professionals in their own sport,” said Osman.

It appears to be working, said Christine Carson, a mom with two teens in the APS program – one in volleyball and the other in hockey.

“This was like the perfect balance for their world,” she said.

Rather than her kids having to participate in various sports in a regular gym class, Carson said the ability to do what they are passionate about gives them drive and inspires them to want to go to school every day.

It has also fostered a greater respect between them and their teachers, she said. People like Bottiglia are working hard to make the program a reality, but also get to coach the sports they are passionate about.

This creates respect between student/

athlete and coach/teacher, she said.

Empowering her kids to get to choose a sport they want to focus on is also part of the equation, she said.

“It’s just been a fantastic experience,” said Carson.

While the high school program may be about concentrating on one sport, the school has also developed a preparatory gym program for their Grade 7 and 8 students that exposes them to many more sports than a regular gym class would.

Members of this intermediate program attend bi-weekly outings where they try sports that can’t be performed in a regular gym or that require specialized training that a gym teacher might not have. These include rock climbing, fencing, mountain biking, karate and more.

When the school began the intermediate program, Bottiglia and others anticipated about 20 students would sign up. Instead 40 took the class, and the school anticipates 70 students enrolled next year.

“We’re extremely proud of our school and our program,” said Osman.

To find out more, the school is hosting an open house on May 5 at 6:30 p.m.

Making a change Four-and-a-half-monthold Ovidius Forsythe from Chinatown does his best not to squirm as his mom, Nicole changes him during the Ottawa Great Cloth Diaper Change event on April 23 at the Glebe Community Centre. Nicole and dozens of other parents prepared to participate in a simultaneous cloth diaper changing - part of a worldwide event that encourages the adoption of cloth diapers for waste reduction, cost reduction and other purposes.

The event attempted to break the world record for the number of simultaneous cloth diaper changes.

These changes also mean that 70,000 more children from low-income families have become eligible for free dental services. Applicants can now sign up for this program

online at ontario.ca/healthysmiles. They can also contact their local public health unit for information and support.

Research demonstrates that untreated oral health problems can affect a child’s ability to eat, sleep and concentrate

in school, which can impact their growth and development. The new Healthy Smiles Ontario program is part of Ontario’s Poverty Reduction Strategy commitment to build community capacity to deliver oral health prevention and treatment services to children and youth from low-income families in Ontario.

New twist on a classic salad Ontario asparagus brightens and enhances the classic German potato salad. Perfect alongside grilled steak, pork or chicken.

Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 27 minutes Serves: 4 to 6 Ingredients:

• 3 cups (750 mL) of potatoes peeled and cut into chunks • 4 slices bacon • 1 small Ontario onion, finely chopped • 1/4 cup (50 mL) apple cider vinegar • 3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar • 2 tbsp (25 mL) water • 1 tbsp (15 mL) grainy Dijon mustard • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt • Pinch pepper • 1 lb (500 g) asparagus, trimmed and chopped into • 2-inch (10 cm) pieces Preparation instructions

Place potatoes in medium pot; cover with cold water. Bring to boil, cover and cook until fork tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, in large deep skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon, turning as needed, until crisp, three to six minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess fat.

Chop or crumble bacon, set aside.

Pour off all but 2 tbsp (25 mL) bacon fat from skillet. . Add onion to skillet and cook over medium heat until golden, about three minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, water, mustard, salt and pepper and bring to boil. Add potatoes and asparagus and cook until asparagus is tender-crisp, about three minutes, transfer to serving platter. Top with crumbled bacon; serve warm.

Tip: Potatoes, bacon and onion dressing can be made ahead. Ten minutes before serving, finish by reheating the dressing and potatoes, then cooking the asparagus.

Trustees support code of conduct Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@!metroland.com

Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustees overwhelmingly voted in favour of a code of conduct at a committee of the whole meeting on April 19, with one notable exception — Barrhaven trustee Donna Blackburn.

Blackburn, who faced censure from the chair of the board for comments she had made about some of her colleagues, said she’s worried the code will be used as a tool to silence dissent.

She proposed an amendment to the code which would allow trustees to express their personal political views but it was defeated. Blackburn said one trustee called it a “get out of jail free card.”

The code, which has been in the works for the better part of the year through an ad hoc committee, defines acceptable behaviour for trustees and lays out a set of procedures should one trustee lay a complaint against another — including hiring an outside investigator.

Blackburn, who fears the code is a backhanded way to silence her sometimes unconventional take on the comings and goings of the board, said she isn’t clear on how a complaint would pass a “smell test” before it went to the board.

Board chair Shirley Seward has long championed the code, saying that it’s similar to ones used by other boards across the province.

“It’s not meant to be punitive,” Seward said. “It’s the same set of behaviours we expect from our staff and our students. In most cases, it won’t ever get to formal sanctions.”

Seward said after the chair is made aware of a complaint, an attempt will be made to resolve the matter. “In some cases we may meet as a group, and an apology may end the whole thing,” she said.

If the matter moves to formal censure, the board would have to vote for censure. Rather than a simple majority, two thirds of the board would have to be in favour of cen-

sure. Once that succeeds, the trustee would be barred from participating on any committees. They’d still be able to vote at board meetings, but wouldn’t be able to propose motions at the committee of the whole.

Lynn Scott, who represents the zones that cover the municipal wards of West Carleton, Stittsville and Rideau Goulbourn, said she planned to put forward another amendment to exclude committee of the whole and committee of the whole budget meetings from the censure.

“Those committees we aren’t elected to,” she said.

“Not being able to sit on those committees will severely impact trustees ability to represent their constituents.”

Scott, who chaired the ad hoc committee that created the code, said that it is necessary. “I have been on the board for 20 years, people like to know what’s expected of them,” she said.

The board will officially vote on the code of conduct April 26.

Lockheed Martin Canada unveils Allan Hubley new centre designed by students Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South

Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Week in Review

Megan DeLaire/Metroland

Rosemary Chapdelaine, left, awarded $1,000 each to Algonquin College students, from left, Brooke Zacharuk, Sarah Taylor and Jessica Drolet during the opening ceremony for Lockheed Martin Canada’s new Impact Centre on April 19. The trio developed the design concept used in the construction of the centre.

It will also allow Lockheed Martin to display its newest naval technology as well as its partnerships with companies and clients in Canada and abroad.

It will serve as a starting point and a landing place, where new technologies are both developed and displayed.

Permanent fixtures like projectors, holographic display cases and large display screens will showcase the evolving array of Lockheed Martin Canada’s projects and partnerships, all within the cool, soft lighting and smooth curves envisioned

by Taylor, Drolet and Zacharuk.

The group’s design incorporates minimalist oceanic imagery and a functional, open concept design to visually represent the tech company’s values and mission, while giving it a flexible, functional work space.

“The thing that really captured us with the Eye of the Storm (theme) was the atmosphere and the openness and the flexibility that it enabled us,” said Rosemary Chapdelaine, general manager of Lockheed Martin Canada.

“It really is flexible and it actually reflects a lot of our image

as well.”

Chapdelaine said while only one design concept would be used, all three of the concepts submitted impressed her and her colleagues at Lockheed

Martin Canada, and each student who participated received a reference letter from the company applauding their work.

“All of the designs were really creative,” she said.

They have another year of school to complete, but already three Algonquin College design students can add a real-world success to their resumés.

Third-year students Sarah Taylor, Jessica Drolet and Brooke Zacharuk learned on April 13 that their maritime themed design concept – called Eye of the Storm – was the winning submission in a contest to design Lockheed Martin Canada’s new Impact Centre.

On April 19 they had an opportunity to see their vision become reality with the centre’s grand opening.

Lockheed Martin Canada invited third- and fourth-year interior design students from the college to develop an innovative concept for the centre in December 2015, and the three groups that entered had a month to submit their finished concepts.

Zacharuk and Drolet described the experience of seeing the physical embodiment of their design concept as surreal.

“It was really cool to have your first design realized in real life,” Zacharuk said. “It’s something we always do in school that’s on paper and that’s it, but to have the first one really actually built and then be able to come see it was something that’s really cool to kick off a career.”

For contributing to the centre’s design, each member of the winning group received $1,000 from Lockheed Martin Canada. Interior design program coordinator Kurt Espersen-Peters said the use of their design in the centre is a first not only for the group, but also for the program.

“Our students have competed in national and international competitions, but never have they been so intimately involved in the design and then the actual execution of the space,” Espersen-Peters said. “So this is quite new for our students and also for our program.”

The Impact Centre – located within the company’s Palladium Drive facility in Kanata – will serve as a flexible space that can be easily transformed into a formal demonstration area, a lounge or a functional workspace, depending on the company’s needs.

It was great to see so many residents out this past weekend at the Trailwest Pancake Breakfast and Cleaning the Capital event at Kristina Kiss Park! Thank you to Majic 100 for attending and also to the Susan and Moe Team for sponsoring this great event.

Hydro Ottawa Project Hydro Ottawa will be starting electrical upgrades over the next few months underneath the sidewalks on Michael Cowpland Drive (between Terence Matthews Cres. and Eagleson Road.) The work being done will improve the capacity and reliability of the electrical system in the Kanata South area.

Work is scheduled to commence in May and continue until the end of July. Residents and businesses may notice increased construction throughout the duration of the project, including excavation activities. Traffic control will be implemented when required to ensure that roads and driveways remain accessible and safe to residents. In order to minimize noise concerns, work will be completed weekdays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Residents and businesses in the affected area will receive notice of the project and be provided with a point of contact. Customers will also receive a notification prior to any planned power interruption affecting their premises.

River Ward held its first official Earth Day event on April 23, with dozens of residents attending along with a special guest direct from New York.

The federal government’s Environment and Climate Change Minister and Ottawa Centre MP Catherine McKenna spoke to the crowd about her trip to the Big Apple on April 22, along with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to sign the

Paris Agreement on climate change.

Leaders from more than 150 countries signed the agreement, though many, including Canada, now have to ratify the agreement through their own governmental procedures.

Despite the agreement’s voluntary nature – countries set their own targets for reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases – the agreement has been touted as a sign of momentum gathering to stop climate change.

“It was a thrilling mo-

ment,” said McKenna to the River Ward crowd at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre.

There were 175 nations that signed the agreement, setting a record for the most countries to sign an international agreement on one day, according to the United Nations.

Countries such as Zimbabwe and North Korea, in addition to the United Staes., Canada, China, which is the world’s top carbon emitter, and France, were among those that signed the agreement.

McKenna pushed the need for country-wide support to successfully respond to climate change, adding that appears to be happening now.

“We all are working together, all levels of government … with community associations and all Canadians,” she said.

Over the next six months the federal government will be working with the provinces and cities to come up with a plan to meet Canada’s international commitments on climate action, said McKenna.

Other local politicians discussed some of the things happening at the municipal and provincial level, with Capital Ward Coun. David

Chernushenko touting the slow but steady increase in bike lanes and trails, and Bay Ward Coun. and deputy mayor Mark Taylor discussing the move to LED lighting for street lights.

River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington, who hosted the event, said the message on climate change has been received by the young who will be dealing with the repercussions of it.

Brockington said he met with students from kindergarten to Grade 8 at four different schools on April 22.

From all the kids, he said “there was an acknowledgement that the Earth is sick.”

While governments at various levels are working on how to deal with climate change, he said, “It’s an issue for all of us to grasp.”

The River Ward Earth Day event included an environment trade show featuring city services, an e-waste recycling drive, and a guided tour of the nearby McCarthy Woods.

The federal government launched a website on April 21 aimed at creating a dialogue about climate change and climate action. It can be accessed at climatechange. gc.ca.

Environment and Climate Change minister for the federal government Catherine McKenna asks under 18 attendees of River Ward’s Earth Day celebration on April 23 to pinkie swear that they will do what they can to lessen their carbon footprint - things like turning lights off when they leave a room or reducing the amount of waste they create. The adults then chimed in that they would promise to do so as well.

Ottawa Community Housing gets $12.2-million for energy retrofits mmurray@metroland.com

Ottawa Community Housing’s CEO had reason to give out 12 million thankyous last week.

Stéphane Giguère, CEO of the city’s public housing corporation, shook hands with the area’s MPPs following an announcement on April 22, as the City of Ottawa received more than $12.2 million from the province’s Green Investment Fund for social housing energy retrofits, including the replacement of boilers, insulation and windows — money that would be coming in OCH’s direction.

“We are at a point of renewing our portfolio and looking at the different avenues to make sure our tenants have homes that are really safe and comfortable and (decreasing our) impact on the global environment and ensuring that sustainability is part of our plan,” Giguère said following the announcement.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi

The announcement took place at 280 Rochester St., where OCH completed a smart thermostat pilot project last year.

OCH saw a 30 per cent utility consumption decrease.

“We can invest back into improving the quality of life, potentially redoing the common areas,” he said of the savings.

As the city’s largest social housing provider, it’s also one of the city’s largest consumers.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said the goal of the $325-million Green Investment Fund is to fight climate change, boost the economy and create jobs. About $82 million is earmarked for social housing retrofits.

“The money will be used to retrofit social housing in units right across our city,” Naqvi said.

“Bringing these buildings up to speed and up to environmental standards will undoubtedly help us strengthen our community.”

The money will be used on 23 buildings, which provide 4,971 homes — about onethird of the OCH portfolio.

“Decent housing is more than just a shelter it provides stability, security and dignity. I’m confident that these changes are also going to result in an improved and better quality of life for our residents in OCH,” Naqvi said.

He said the investment is timely, not only because of goals to reduce greenhouse gases, but because the housing stock is aging.

Farmers on the Hill It was amazing to see so many farmers from all across Canada come to Parliament Hill to meet with Parliamentarians. I had the pleasure to introduce the Hon. Lawrence MacAulay, the Minister of Agriculture, at a breakfast event where we had a great conversation about local farming. I wish to thank Dave Campbell and our local farmers for organizing the event, and all farmers in Canada for the work they do each and every day.

Surrounded by his colleages, MPP Marie-France Lalonde, Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and Ottawa South MPP John Faser, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announces more than $12.2 million in funding for social housing retrofits in the City of Ottawa.

“Our tenants in Ottawa community housing deserve to have a good quality of life,” he said, adding it also saves money for OCH. “It’s a double win. Not only are we improving quality of life, we are saving money for a housing provider and we are having an impact on our climate by reducing greenhouse gases.”

Any tenant currently paying for heat and hydro should see a decrease in the cost of their utility bills, which also makes their housing more affordable.

That would help tenants who currently have to make choices between utilities and food.

“About 115,000 Ottawa residents, representing 40,000 households, are living

in poverty and having to make impossible choices between paying the rent, putting food on the table paying the utility bill or having money for transportation,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who also chairs the community and protective services committee.

She added the investment is welcome after the province downloaded social housing without any money for repairs.

“We’ve come a long way, and we still have a long way to go, but this $12.2 million is a big step in the right direction, and we as a city are really grateful,” Deans said. About 10,000 people are currently on OCH’s housing waiting list.

Mosquito Treatment Underway – I saw the helicopter for the nuisance mosquito treatment flying last weekend so watch for it this week. They use a granular form of Bti for aerial application and only use it in hard-to-reach areas, not in local parks. Last week, I had the opportunity to be present for the first ground treatment application and watched as the technicians filled their backpacks with water from the area, added a small amount of Bti or Bs and then walked through the wetlands spraying from a fine nozzle. They showed me the tiny mosquito larvae that now won’t hatch into adult mosquitoes. Health Canada states that Bti and Bs have no effect on humans, birds, fish, animals or other.

The research project being undertaken through the University of Ottawa will add to the amount of information known about Bti and Bs. For information, email info.mosquito@gdg.ca or call toll free 1-877-227-0552.

Hike makes big difference in hospice care Hike for Hospice sets fundraising goal of $120,000 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Barbara Davidson has many reasons to Hike for Hospice, but first and foremost is to help raise the funds Hospice Care Ottawa needs to offer its services to those with a life-limiting illness, and their families, for free.

“The fact that all the services are free of charge – I don’t think people are aware of that,” said the South Keys resident. “I want to ensure that we can raise the money to keep our services available. It’s just getting the word out.”

Davidson volunteers in the residential wing of the May Court Hospice, which offers beds and palliative hospice care to those at the end of their lives. She learned about hospice when her friend and neighbour was admitted to the residential wing.

“I felt myself being pulled back,” said Davidson.

After her friend died, she waited the required two years, then applied for the volunteer training course.

“There was no turning back,” Davidson said. “You walk out of there and your day

is made because you’ve made a difference in somebody’s life and that’s worth its weight in gold.”

She often just sits with the clients.

“The families are so appreciative. Just experiencing it and seeing the difference it makes in their lives, I want to do what I can,” said Davidson, who also mentors new volunteers and sits on the residence volunteer advisory committee.

“There’s just something magical about it. When you walk through those doors and no matter how I’m feeling that day – whether I’m tired, whether I’ve had a bad day – I walk through those doors and I’ve have a cleanse.”

The shift that remains most vivid in her mind was one where she sat quietly holding the hand of a gentleman as he passed.

“That man did not die alone,” she said. “It was the most meaningful shift ever.”

This year, she’ll walk in her sixth Hike for Hospice, along with her daughter Laura Peters and some of her friends. Her team, the Go Getters, have already raised close to $3,000.

Since she began participating, Davidson has raised about $12,000 for Hospice Care Ottawa.

“Any part of hospice care makes such a difference for the person who has the illness and their family members,” she said.

Barbara Davidson/Submitted

Barbara Davidson, right, and her daughter Laura Peters take part in last year’s Hike for Hospice. This year’s event will be held at the Carleton University Field House on May 1 and has set a fundraising goal of $120,000.

“I consider it both an honour and a privilege to share the end of life journey with residents and their families.” $120,000 GOAL

This year’s Hike for Hospice will be held at the Carleton University Field House, with the five-kilometre walk meandering along the area’s scenic trails. The May 1 hike also serves to kick off National Hospice Palliative Care Week, which runs May 1 to 7.

The goal is to raise $120,000, said Hospice Care Ottawa Executive Director Lisa Sullivan.

Government funding still only makes up about half of the not-for-profit’s operating costs, said Sullivan. Hospice Care Ottawa relies on public donations and fundraising to make up the difference.

The free programs and services include end-of-life residential beds in two locations, at-home visits, day programs for those living with life-limiting illnesses, and support for caregivers.

The fundraising goal of $120,000 is equivalent to 300 days of individual residential care, said Sullivan.

“With our aging population, demand for our services continues to increase,” she said.

“Special events like the Hike for Hospice help us raise the $1.8 million we require annually to continue to provide our services free of charge.”

Having expanded to four hospice locations across Ottawa – the May Court in Ottawa South, the Ruddy-Shenkman in Kanata, Central West on Carling, and La Maison de l’Est in Orleans – the new hike site at Carleton University will bring all supporters, volunteers and staff together in one central location for the first time in the event’s 14-year history, said Sullivan.

In the past, two hikes were held on the same day: one at the May Court and the second at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice.

Registration for the May 1 hike begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Carleton University Field House, located at 1125 Colonel

By Dr. The opening ceremonies take place at 9:40 a.m., followed by the hike at 10 a.m.

There is no fee to participate but people are encouraged to get pledges to help reach the fundraising goal. Parking is free and dogs are welcome on the hike.

The Bronson Avenue entrance will be the only access point to the campus that day due to road closures.

“It’s an opportunity to enjoy the lovely spring weather and bring families and supporters together,” said Sullivan.

Following the hike there will be live entertainment, music, bouncies for the children and activities. For more information on Hike for Hospice, to register for the event or to donate, visit hospicecareottawa.ca.

Shelves emptying fast at food banks Need increased with Syrian refugees not able to make ends meet Michelle Nash Jennifer McIntosh

michelle.nash@metroland.com

The cupboards are bare at the Heron Emergency Food Centre – and it’s not the only food bank in this city that is suffering based on an increased need as Syrian refugees living on social assistance can’t make ends meet.

Louisa Simms, head of the food centre, said that in February and March the centre – at 1480 Heron Rd. – served 684 Syrian refugees.

It’s not just us, everybody needs help.

Food cupboard manager Gwen Bouchard

Simms said they were completely unprepared for the influx of refugees.

“We were told they were moving to buildings on Donald (street),” she said.

“We didn’t really expect to see the demand here.”

While Simms said the centre had 119 volunteers last year – about 60 of which are regulars – they had to scramble to find people who could speak Arabic to help deal with the new population.

“They are very patient,” Simms said, adding the families come well prepared with the paperwork they need.

But registering families with four or five children, when the parents only speak a handful of English words takes time. Simms said the food bank only has the capacity to deal with 50 people during the hours it’s open.

“We would have liked some advance notice that they’d be coming,” Simms said. “It would have helped us to prepare.”

Simms said the situation would have been worse, but residents have really stepped up to the plate to donate.

“We’ve also had some help from churches,” she said.

On April 16, Jenny Tierney, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney’s wife, organized an emergency food drive in response to a cry for help from the Gloucester Food Cupboard.

The need was directly related to an increase of more than 450 new families visiting the centre.

After an incredibly successful event – more than $1,200 collected and more than 1,500 pounds of food donated, Jenny and the food cupboard’s manager, Gwen Bouchard, said this is only the tip of the iceberg.

“It’s not just us, everybody needs help,” Bouchard said.

Bouchard said that in February the cupboard was serving around 1,700 families. In March, she said, 2,200 families.

Bouchard said the increase is directly related to the Syrian refugees who have moved into the neighbourhood.

“These families are going to be coming to us for a while,” Bouchard said.

Ottawa Food Bank executive director Michael Maidment said the increase in need is not a surprise, adding that when they heard the federal government would resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada they expected there would be an increase in need.

“We were ready, we were always ready,” he said. “We understood they would be receiving the equivalent of social assistance. Essentially what we are talking about is what we know all too well already – what they are getting is what people on social assistance get – and there is a great need from people on social assistance. Over 50 per cent of who we service are people on social assistance … so I am not surprised we would see refugees turn to the food bank. The numbers are high and I hope they don’t continue.”

A large majority of the

Michelle Nash/Metroland

Jenny Tierney joins Gloucester Food Cupboard’s Gwen Bouchard at the centre to sort the nearly 1500 pounds of food that the community donated on April 16. Tierney challenges other wards to hold their own food drives to support local food banks.

1,500 Syrians already living in the capital – 1,118 – are government sponsored, which means they needed help locating housing and other supports.

In response to the resettlement plans, the United Way Ottawa launched a United for Refugees campaign.

To date, the campaign has raised $850,000 to help Syrian refugees.

To help determine how to distribute the funding, the United Way issued a call for proposals to invest the donations. Of the 52 applications submitted, 26 were to help with sponsorship support and 26 were for settlement support.

Currently, the United Way reports the Community Based Allocations Committee is reviewing where the funds will be invested and will announce this decision in June.

In the meantime, food banks like the Nepean-based Halal food bank, the Sadaqa Food Bank, helps feed close to 500 people a week, a number that the organization’s manager Mumta Akhtar expects to rise even more.

Food banks expect to feed even more people each week Continued from page 29

“Syrian families are large,” Akhtar said. “We are very overwhelmed.”

Even though the organization is handing out food weekly to families that are coming from across the city, the emergency food bank still seems to manage to fill its shelves.

“We have a strong community,” Akhtar said. That being said, he added the increase is growing each week.

Jenny said she challenges other wards to also hold food drives to help fill the gap.

“It has to continue,” she said. “It can’t just be one offs.”

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who was appointed liaison for the working group on refugee settlement by Mayor Jim Watson, said there’s a lot of work going on behind the scenes.

“We are aware that we need to co-ordinate efforts to stabilize families once the

federal funding stops,” he said. “So we are getting to know their needs.”

Qaqish said he’s not surprised to hear there’s demand on local food banks and community health resource centres.

“This is a family of five or six, living on the same amount as a typical family living on social assistance,” Qaqish said. “A large portion of the monthly income has gone to pay for rent, so there’s not a lot left over for food.”

Qaqish said they’ve all been housed in the Donald towers in the east end, Norberrry residences near Mooney’s Bay and in the Pinecrest area.

“Private landlords have been really generous, either exempting first and last month’s rent, or giving a discount on the monthly amount,” he said.

tres in his ward were feeling a strain on their food banks and English tutoring services.

Qaqish said he’s been in conversations with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and John McCallum, the federal Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. Metroland Media attempted to get information

File

on what type of additional supports that could be coming from the ministry, but it did not respond to repeated requests for that information before press time.

Qaqish said a lot of Syrians are in the skilled trades sector, so staff has been working with the unions on possible training or employment opportunities.

“We’ve also got quite a number who were chefs back home, so we are talking with restaurants,” he said, adding there’s a job fair planned for June.

In the meantime, nearly 200 children have been integrated into local schools and families have been tutored on riding the bus by OC Transpo.

In the meantime, for people who want to help, Qaqish said to donate to local food banks, which have been facing increased demand as a result of resettlement efforts.

“People can also donate to the United Way,” he said.

But for those who don’t want to donate money or goods, sometimes your time is even better, Qaqish said.

“People can contact my office if they’d like to invite people over for a dinner with a typical Canadian family,” he said. “The goal is to make people feel welcome. Sometimes even a smile makes a big difference.”

Food bank centres in need Always in need, with the increase of Syrian refugees using the food bank to supplement their gap in groceries, the Ottawa Food Bank is urging people to continue to give.

According to the Ottawa Food Bank its 2015 Hunger Count in March noted that 47,653 people used food banks in the city monthly.

Since the federal government began resettling Syrian refugees in November 2015, more than 1,100 refugees have moved to Ottawa.

The food bank reports that there are 390 refugee families visiting food banks each week.

According to executive director Michael Maidment there are 12 city food banks that have seen an increase in demand. * Pavilion Food Bank * Caldwell Family Centre

* Carlington Community Health Centre * Sadaqa Food Bank * Morrison Gardens Emergency Food * Rideau Rockcliffe Emergency Food Bank * Gloucester Emergency Food Bank * South East Ottawa Community Health Centre (Hunt Club site) * Centertown Emergency Food Bank * Heron Road Emergency Food Bank * Russel Heights Family Centre * Debra Dynes Family House * St. Joe’s Supper Table * St. Joe’s Women’s Centre Four centres, Gloucester Food Cupboard, Heron Road Emergency Food Bank, Sadaqa Food Bank and Centretown Emergency Food Bank are experiencing the biggest increase in demand.

Maidment said the best

thing people can do is donate money.

“Every gift is meaningful and I don’t think the food bank will ever do away with the food bin, because it is real and people like to buy two things at the grocery store and donate,” Maidment said. “But cash really lets us leverage the gift that much more.”

Maidment explained that every $1 donated can be turned into $5 worth of food.

The food bank is able to stretch a donor dollar further because of our large quantities of bulk purchases, and food industry partnerships, Maidment explained.

He added that aside from donor dollars, people can also donate time by volunteering.

Can science inspire art? Museum launches contest to find out Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Those aren’t just white walls surrounding construction of the new Canada Science and Technology Museum.

They’re a blank canvas just waiting to be transformed into a work of art, with a scientific twist.

Museum officials have launched a mural design contest open to kids and teens across Canada.

“It gives us an opportunity to reach out into classrooms across the country, as well as working with local artists and local schools, and looking at that intersection of art and science as part of the renewed museum,” Christina Tessier, director general of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, said following the April 20 launch of the contest on the grounds of the facility.

Also taking part in the announcement were Canadian Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly, Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier and museum officials, as well as students from Queen Elizabeth Public School in the Cummings neighbourhood of Ottawa’s east end.

The young artists brought along the sciencethemed artworks they had crafted, as an example of the creativity the contest can inspire under the theme of “How does science in-

spire you?”

The winning entries will be displayed as part of a 122-metre mural placed around the work site at the museum.

Students have until May 30 to enter their original works in five categories for the chance to win a prize pack and to see their creative vision displayed publicly.

In the meantime, Ottawa-area artists from the House of PainT Festival of Urban Arts and Culture were expected to begin priming the mural walls soon, said Tessier.

After the contest closes, a community jam session and celebration will be held at the site at the end of June. That’s when graffiti artists will begin transferring the winning designs onto the walls.

They will also be mentoring local youth, helping them build their artistic skills and give them an opportunity to admire their own art on such a large canvas.

“Clearly we are not experts in graffiti mural art, so it’s been really great to have them on board,” Tessier said.

The contest is a chance for Canadian kids to be part of the museum’s transformation ahead of its opening in November 2017. And once the mural is up, the art won’t stop there.

As part of the museum’s overhaul and redesign, the plan is to integrate the

“That move is really important to us,” said Tessier.

The exhibits are currently in development, but art is top of mind for museum staff. For example, they’re currently working on the preliminary design for a massive light bulb sculpture that will be featured in the centre’s transforming resources gallery, she added.

Inaugural awareness walk to shine light on suicide, self-harm Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Devastated by the loss of her younger brother who died by suicide last year, Linda Boland will hold his memory close when she walks in his honour just as dawn breaks on May 7 over Mooney’s Bay Park.

Though painful to talk about her personal loss, she said organizing Ottawa’s inaugural Darkness Into Light awareness walk to bring suicide and self-harm into the light is important for her own healing.

“It’s my journey. I think I have to,” said Boland, a west-end resident.

Her sister has taken part in the Darkness Into Light walk in Vancouver, and her relatives in Ireland participate in one there. The first ever walk was held in Dublin eight years ago.

But when Boland called Pieta House in Ireland and learned that Ottawa has never hosted one, they suggested she spearhead its creation, adding to the list of 101 locations around the world where the annual awareness event has spread.

Other Canadian host cities have come to include Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.

Funds raised through the walk will support the Ottawa Youth Services Bureau, which supports kids 12 and up who are in crisis. It offers a 24/7 crisis line and online chat service, a free youth mental health walkin clinic, as well as youth and family counselling.

The fundraising effort will also support the Pieta

House Suicide and SelfHarm Crisis Centres in Ireland.

Today, there are nine such prevention centres on the Emerald Isle that provide crisis counselling for those who are suicidal or harming themselves. Families can also access therapists.

The free service boasts near-immediate help and allows self-referrals.

“You do not need a doctor’s appointment. You can just walk in and get help,” said Boland, who is a cardiac nurse at the Civic hospital campus. “It’s amazing.”

Ireland’s government proved instrumental in helping establish a Pieta House in New York City by providing a grant.

“And there is talk of maybe starting one in Toronto,” she said.

Though their services are free, the Pieta Houses are reliant on donations, further adding to the importance of the walks, which are all held the same day, May 7.

After she decided to organize Ottawa’s upcoming Darkness Into Light walk/ run, Boland learned about the symbolic significance of a pieta, for which the centres are named. The Pietà is a famous Renaissance sculpture crafted by Italian artist Michelangelo, depicting Mary holding the dead body of her son, Jesus Christ.

“It’s symbolic, where (Michelangelo) made Mary’s body bigger than that of Jesus and he made her shoulders broad and her lap very deep so that

The event will also serve as a fundraiser for the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. she was able to carry her son after he died,” said Boland.

The image evokes strong emotion, just as the walk will, she said.

“It’s going to be an event that carries sadness and joy. People will be walking in memory of people that died, and also in hope.

“I think everybody is touched by suicide.”

Part of the goal for the upcoming walk is to coun-

teract the stigma and isolation associated with suicide, help those who feel alone, and foster a sense of hope.

“We want a community to unite and show compassion,” Boland said. “That’s what Darkness Into Light is; bring them from despair into the light of hope.

“We want people to start talking. People are not talking, they’re keeping it inside,” she said. “They’re

living a double life.”

The stigma comes in part from a belief that those who have died by suicide are dysfunctional or that they came from dysfunctional families, though that isn’t the case, said Boland.

In the aftermath of her brother’s death, she learned that suicide is more often prompted by a life crisis or event rather than chronic mental illness.

“Most of these people

didn’t even have psychiatric issues before they died by suicide,” Boland said.

The death of her younger brother, who was 49 and left behind an eight-yearold son, came as a shock.

Though extremely anxious and depressed just prior to his passing, there had been no long-term psychiatric issues.

“I thought if my brother could do this, anybody could,” said Boland.

Councillors want staff to track ’s SHIFT INTO SPRING refugee settlement costs jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Several city councillors at the April 21 community and protective services meeting expressed concern about the cost of helping the influx of Syrian refugees after federal funding expires.

So far, 1,500 refugees have come to the capital. The majority – 1,118 are government sponsored and have already been housed.

But community and protective services committee members such as Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, who chairs Ottawa Community Housing, are worried that the increased demand once the federal government bows out will end up putting a financial burden on city taxpayers.

“The city needs the supports and the private landlords to be there,” he said.

“We have a set of priorities for

affordable housing and the list is long.”

Aaron Burry, general manager of community and social services, said the city is paying extra attention to the specific needs of the families that are already here in preparation for “month 13.”

He said the city usually welcomes 2,000 refugees annually, with much of the same needs as the Syrian population. The only difference is the work that they’re doing now to stabilize the families so that they have housing, employment and other supports that doesn’t usually start until the end of the first year.

Burry said staff is working on identifying those families that will need to be on Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program. Past experience says that 40 per cent of government-sponsored refugees end up on social assistance.

“Typically those who move to Ontario Works, end up being on social assistance for approximately 15 months,” Burry said.

The province funds the social assistance, but Osgoode Coun. George Darouze is worried about other costs in the form of staff to process applications or shore up community support services.

“A year is not sufficient to get refugees on their feet, we need to plan for pressure on support services,” Darouze said.

Burry said he doesn’t anticipate any additional cost to Ottawa taxpayers as a result of resettlement efforts.

Hindia Mohamoud, director of the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership, said that despite initial struggles at the start, studies show immigrants are twice as likely to start a business than Canadian-born residents.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Three weeks ago I was at a retail store and tripped over a box on the floor. I fell and broke my ankle. Today an Insurance adjuster called me. He said I was responsible to look where I was walking but he offered me $5000.00 to help me out as I have been off work. I am on sick leave and have not lost any income. Is there any reason not to just take the money?

Plenty of Reason. Leaving aside what happened, and what you might be entitled to recover as a result of your injuries, it is always a good idea to consult with a lawyer before taking a settlement proposed by an insurance company.

Insurance adjusters work for Insurance companies and they do not approach a settlement based on what you are entitled to. They offer money based on the risk of what you might receive by way of an award. Generally, they will try and settle a claim or potential claim for as little as they reasonable can in order to close off a risk.

Assert your rights. Over the years I have come to understand that people almost always benefit from at least consulting with a lawyer before trying to settle with an insurance company. There is a significant imbalance between a lone individual and a huge insurance company.

A lawyer has the knowledge to help level the playing field.

In my experience insurers will see a greater risk when dealing with an injured person who is represented by a lawyer. Greater risk to insurers leads to better settlements.

Adoption of Gaelic football in Ottawa ‘magic’ says Irish coach Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

You take a bit of soccer, some volleyball, a dash of basketball and rugby and you roll it out on a grass field and you’ve got something close to Gaelic football.

Ireland’s most popular sport is gaining more and more traction in Ottawa where the Ottawa Gaelic Football Club has been running a youth program for three years with a particular focus on teaching it in schools.

The club’s youth development officer and Kanata resident Noel McGinnity attributes the game’s success with both kids and teachers to the wide range of skills that make it up.

The game combines aspects of soccer, basketball, football and volleyball and is played on a grass field.

Players carry what looks and feels like a heavy volleyball a total of four steps before passing the ball with a palm bump or kick as both teams of up to 15 players try to score points by passing the ball through a goal or between a set of uprights.

Because the game includes passing and scoring skills typical in so many different sports, a volleyball player and a football player for instance would both have skills that transfer to Gaelic football.

See SCHOOLS, page 41

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Angie Stevenson, a Gaelic football coach from Ireland, teaches Georges Vanier Catholic School students to play Gaelic football during a phys-ed class on April 18. She is one of several Irish coaches the Ottawa Gaelic Football Club have invited to Ottawa to teach students the game.

Schools host Irish coaches to teach kids, teachers the game Continued from page 39

Many of those skills are the fundamental skills that phys-ed seeks to teach, said Georges Vanier Catholic School principal, Heather McPhee, and with Gaelic football you get them all in one game.

“That’s the great thing about Gaelic football,” she said.

The school hosted McGinnity and fellow Gaelic football coach direct from Ireland, Angie Stevenson, on April 18.

Though most students have never heard of Gaelic football before, many quickly become excited, passionate players of the game who pick it up quickly and are eager for more, said Stevenson.

That reaction from students is causing a surge of interest the Ottawa Gaels

youth program where more than 100 young athletes in Kanata, Almonte, Ottawa West and Riverside South.

“It’s just magic,” said Stevenson who rarely has the opportunity to teach

It’s not an Irish sport anymore, it’s a sport that came from Ireland Noel McGinnity, Ottawa Gaels youth development officer

Gaelic football outside of Ireland. “I go around back home going around schools trying to get kids to play this game. We don’t get as much reaction as what we’re getting here. This is insane.”

Even outside of the Ot-

tawa Gaels, schools have now integrated the sport into their phys-ed curriculum and are holding their own tournaments, said McGinnity.

Stevenson said she hopes to encourage a tournament between Georges Vanier school and nearby W. Erskine Johnston Public School.

Regardless, Georges Vanier’s principal, Heather McPhee said that the school is planning on teaching Gaelic football in their physed curriculum next year and including it in intramurals.

Gaelic football is as important to the Irish as hockey is to Canadians, said Stevenson, so seeing it take hold outside of its native country is a thrill.

“It’s not an Irish sport anymore,” said McGinnity.

“It’s a sport that came from Ireland.”

Man charged with Bells Corners shooting homicide Staff

Police in Brampton, Ont. have arrested a suspect in connection with the fatal Easter Sunday shooting of Christina Voelzing in Bells Corners.

The 23-year-old Ottawa man was arrested at 7 p.m. on April 15 by Peel regional police, on the same day that a warrant for his arrest was issued.

He was charged with second-degree murder and appeared in Ottawa court on April 16 via videoconference.

Police have been searching for a suspect since Voelzing was shot at a Sonnet Crescent home in Bells Corners early on March 27. Voelzing, 24, was placed on life support but died on March 30.

She was weeks away from graduating from Algonquin College’s victimology program, and had planned to work with young victims of crime after completing school. Hers was the city’s sixth homicide of the year.

According to police, Voelzing knew the suspect and the two were previously involved in a relationship. Police are not searching for any other suspects in the shooting.

Twitter

A man police allege was formerly in a relationship with Bells Corners fatal shooting victim Christina Voelzing has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with her death.

Poverty advocates call for end to roll over loans Province asks for public’s opinion on cap for cost of borrowing Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Poverty advocacy group ACORN is calling on the province to put a cap on the cost of borrowing.

Falling on the heels of the Ottawa city council vote that will initiate licensing for new payday loan outlets entering the market, ACORN is taking part in a series of public consultations around the maximum

Second from left, Gisele Bouvier, co-chair of the Vanier chapter of ACORN, sits in the gallery of council on April 13 waiting for the debate on a city-based licensing plan for payday loan companies. ACORN is also working on the province on reforms to the legislation on the caps on the cost of borrowing. amount of interest payday loan companies can charge.

The province started the

three alternatives to the current rate, which is $21 per $100 borrowed.

Ontarians pay the second lowest cost in Canada, but the rate ranks high when compared with other jurisdictions in North America, according to the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services.

The options for consideration are: • $15 per $100 borrowed • $17 per $100 borrowed • $19 per $100 borrowed Residents can have their say until May 20.

The consultation would inform work on proposed legislation introduced in December 2015 made under the Alternative Financial Services Statute Law Amendment Act. If passed, the act would increase consumer protections for customers of businesses like payday loans and rent-toown establishments.

Gisele Bouvier, who is the co-chair of the Vanier chapter of ACORN, said that Ontario ACORN wants to see a maximum rate of $15 per $100 borrowed.

“We also want to see a real-time database to stop rollover loans,” she said.

“We want a real solution, such as postal banking in the future.”

Bouvier said payday loan companies unfairly target low income communities and the cost of the high interest loans is more than just financial. Vanier has the largest concentration of payday lenders in the country, with more than 30 outlets in a five-kilometre stretch between the Vanier Parkway and Montreal Road, according to a discussion paper released by area activists in February.

According to the Min-

istry of Government and Consumer Services, Ontario has more than 800 payday lenders and loan brokers.

“Our government is committed to creating a fair, safe and informed credit market in Ontario,” Minister of Government and Consumer Services David Orazietti wrote in a press release ... “and that includes exploring new ways to ensure consumers have access to alternative credit and financial services without being subject to harmful prac-

Great invention makes its way to Northcote

W

hat excitement!

And in the middle of the week at that!

The call from Aunt Bertha on the next farm came before we left for school.

To even get a phone call that early in the morning was unusual in itself. But to be invited over that evening in the middle of the week was even more unusual.

Visiting among neighbours was reserved for Saturday nights.

Aunt Bertha had something she wanted us to see, and yes, the whole family was invited to cross the 20acre field right after supper.

Aunt Bertha said we would see something so new, that it was doubtful anyone in all of Northcote had ever seen one before.

The Thoms children who went to school with us wouldn’t give us a hint as

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories to what we were about to see at their home that night, but you could tell they were pretty excited too.

Supper was hurried, our faces washed, and off we went on the flat-bottomed wagon across the field to the next farm. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex and their eight children were waiting for us, and Ralph, who seemed to be in charge, led us through the kitchen, the summer kitchen and out to another room, which Aunt Bertha called the shed, although it was in much better shape than the little building we called a shed back home.

There in the middle of the floor was a brand new washing machine! Like us, the Thoms had no electricity, but this certainly looked like it would take more than elbow grease to run it.

We circled the machine, and I wondered what was so special about it that Aunt Bertha would bring us all over from the next farm to see it. The tub was a pale green, certainly a step up from the square tin tub and scrub board Mother had to use. But I still couldn’t imagine what was so important about a washing machine, that our whole family would

be brought over in the middle of the week to look at it.

“Stand well back,” Uncle Alex said, and as one we all moved a few feet away.

Beside the machine was another apparatus that looked a lot like the motor Mr. Briscoe brought around in the fall to saw wood. “Better put your pipe away, Albert,” Uncle Alex ordered. “Don’t want anyone to get hurt.”

This was getting scarier by the minute. We couldn’t see what Uncle Alex was doing, but he pressed a few buttons, and this black piece of machine made an ungodly sound, like the whole place was going to blow up, and a puff of blue smoke came out, just about blocking Uncle Alex from view.

Then Aunt Bertha pushed something on the washing machine, and right before our eyes, the gyrator started

up, the few pieces of clothes began tumbling, suds rose from the depths, and Aunt Bertha stood back, crossed her arms over her chest and said, “Now, isn’t that something?” With laundry for eight Thom children, there would be no more scrub board. The magic wasn’t to end there. Another button was pushed, the machine came to a halt, and Aunt Bertha pulled out a set of long underwear from the soapy water, turned a little handle, fed the underwear into a ringer attached to the washing machine, and the long johns dropped into a basket on the floor, looking like they were almost dry enough to put on. Uncle Alex explained how the whole thing was run with a gas motor, and as far as he could figure out, it was the first gas washing machine in all of Northcote.

Nobody was going to argue with that.

Fancy washing machines were nothing new to Mother, who had an electric one in New York, but she kept that to herself, instead praising Aunt Bertha for this new fangled gas machine that would lighten her load on wash days. The new gas washing machine over at the Thoms farm was all we could talk about when we got home. “By gar, that’s really something,” Father said. He thought it was the greatest invention since the telephone. Unlike the radio, which Father was sure would never catch on.

Metroland Media reporters win provincial, national awards Staff

Metroland Media’s Ottawa reporters have earned five provincial community newspaper awards recognizing quality reporting and photographic coverage, and two national newspaper awards.

At the Ontario Community Newspaper Association’s 2015 Better Newspaper Awards gala in Vaughan on April 22, Metroland Media’s Ottawa West News won third place in the Online Special Project/Event/ Breaking News category for its team coverage of the Parliament Hill shooting in October 2014.

The newspaper’s online

and in-print coverage of the unfolding tragedy was extensive and the award submission package featured in-depth news articles, photo galleries, a gripping editorial and thought-provoking columns.

The award recognizes the work of reporters Michelle Nash, Brier Dodge, Adam Kveton and Erin McCracken, columnists Charles Gordon and Brynna Leslie, an editorial by former news editor Matt Jay, and coverage by former Metroland reporters Steph Willems, Emma Jackson and Laura Mueller.

Halifax’s The Coast newspaper city editor, Jacob Boon, judged the category

and said of Metroland’s online coverage, “Looking at the long operational tail on what was an international story of panic. Well done.”

Brier Dodge, a longtime reporter-photographer with the Orléans News, took home third place in the provincial Feature Writing category for papers with a circulation of more than 10,000, with a story titled, “Terrorist attack callers were calm, matter-of-fact.”

Algonquin College journalism professor Julie McCann, a former National Post Business magazine staffer who judged the entry, said of Dodge’s work, “The fact that this piece exists at all is its first main suc-

cess. Kudos to the reporter for spotting the story’s potential and introducing us to these two award-winning paramedic communications officers.

“Their unique perspective on Ottawa’s terrorist tragedy is fascinating. This piece is also a smooth, tidy read with some excellent details and great quotes. Nice work Brier Dodge.”

Adam Kveton, reporter-photographer with the Kanata Kourier-Standard, was honoured with a thirdplace win in the Arts and Entertainment category for his July 2015 story, titled, “Flying for the circus.”

Leading with a narrativestyle approach that drops the reader into the midst of the action, Kveton’s coverage explored the acrobatic skill of Cirque du Soleil performers in advance of their show that summer at the Canadian Tire Centre. cirque

Layne Christensen, editor of Vancouver’s awardwinning North Shore News, judged the category and noted, “Adam Kveton’s great use of the delayed lead technique, which

brought me into Le Grand Chapiteau right there with him.”

As well, Ottawa South News reporter Erin McCracken won second place in the Best News Photo category for a front-page photo of slain soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s mother as she grieved over her son’s casket at the start of the funeral procession bringing his body back to Hamilton, Ont. in October 2014.

Judge Sarah Holmes, publisher and co-owner of B.C.’s Gabriola Sounder newspaper, said in her remarks, “A compassionate photo by Erin McCracken of a difficult time for the family, military and Canada.”

McCracken, a reporterphotographer covering communities from Eastway Gardens to Riverside South and Findlay Creek in several city wards including Alta Vista, Capital, River, Gloucester-Southgate and Gloucester-South Nepean, took third place in the Sport and Recreation Story category.

The win recognized her coverage of South Ottawa Mustangs football club coach, Paul Howard, a tire-

less volunteer who became the first Ottawa coach to receive the NFL Youth Coach of the Year award.

And in a national news competition, McCracken earned second place in the Best Spot News Photo Coverage category, for community papers with a circulation of more than 12,500, in the 2016 Canadian Community Newspaper Awards.

The national award recognized McCracken’s frontpage photo taken last year of a little boy standing in front of his Riverside South home playing with a toy, as Ottawa firefighters clean up following a fire that ravaged an attached unit and damaged his own house.

As well, Metroland Media reporter Melissa Murray, who recently joined the Ottawa news team as a reporter-photographer with the Ottawa West News, captured second place at the national level for Outstanding Reporter Initiative in the 10,000-plus circulation category.

Murray was recognized for her three-part series titled, “The waiting game,” which she wrote as a reporter with Metroland’s Kitchener Post publication.

Committee OKs plan to use reserves for childcare services Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A new set of regulations and decreased funding from the province have created a budget shortfall in childcare services, the city’s community and protective services committee heard April 21.

Aaron Burry, the general manager of community and social services, said staff was anticipating an increase of $1.2 million – instead Ottawa received a $1 million cut.

The gap to cover the existing fee subsidy program is $2.2 million, Burry said, adding the department also had to hire four new staff to deal with changing regulations around subsidies and the centralized waiting list.

The reason the capital got short changed was due to some tweaks to the provincial funding formula and Statistics Canada information that Ottawa has a lower proportion of low income families than other municipalities, Burry said, adding that Ottawa had $3 million in unused subsidy dollars in 2014 – which the province took into account.

Committee chair Diane Deans said it would seem the new provincial system is flawed.

The gap could mean 260 fewer subsidized spaces and an increase in the wait list, bringing the total to over 1,200, according to the city

File

The city’s community and protective services committee approved a plan to use reserve funds to deal with a provincial funding gap for subsidized child care spaces on April 21. report.

Prior to September 2015 subsidies would be attached to an individual childcare centre instead of to the family in need.

With the change in rules the fee subsides are now floating, which means they apply to the family.The change means parents can pick a daycare that suits their needs, rather than simply because a spot was available.

Drop in prov. funding could mean fewer subsidized spaces Continued from page 55

But changes to the act that governs daycares has caused some growing pains, as centres grapple with new rules around child to caregiver ratios, health and safety requirements and in some cases – families moving to centres

that better suit their needs.

The city has a $11.5 million stabilization fund, that was created to help agencies with some of the costs associated with converting to the new rules.

Staff propose using $5.7 million from reserve funds to deal with the subsidy shortfall

and $3.5 million in emergency bridge funding for childcares that are transitioning to the new provincial model.

Burry said staff have positioned the funding, to align with the spending priorities under the new provincial funding system and hope to get a boost next year.

But in the interim, the slate of changes around childcare could spell problems for a francophone childcare centre in Lowertown.

Beausoleil child care centre on York Street was closed temporarily for repairs last summer, but Burry said that the closure may be longer

than anticipated.

“We have to balance the vacancy rate, and if there’s enough demand in the neighbourhood to fill it,” Burry said.

But Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum said the closure may have created a false situation where it looks

like there isn’t the need to support it.

“Families would have found other, less convenient arrangements,” he said.

The city doesn’t lease the space currently, so whatever goes in would be a brand-new license and have some start up costs, Burry said.

Old Ottawa South neighbourhoods keep their small town charm during growth. WIKIPEDIA OLD OTTAWA SOUTH

Along the banks of the Rideau River lie unique Ottawa neighbourhoods as rich with history as they are with modern amenities.

Old Ottawa South — located between the Rideau Canal to the north, the Rideau River to the south, Avenue Road to the east and Bronson Avenue to the west — is home to hundreds of designated heritage properties and boasts more than 6,000 residents.

The area is known for its walkability as a

variety of stores and businesses, the majority of which are locally owned, line the main strip along Bank Street.

About 20 kilometres away from Old Ottawa South, in the rural southern part of the city, is Manotick, home to roughly 4,500 people. Manotick was founded by Moss Kent Dickinson and Joseph Currier, who built an old-stone mill on the shores of the Rideau River. Watson’s Mill remains Manotick’s most recognizable landmark and is still open to the public.

Twenty minutes south of Manotick is the township of North Grenville (just outside of Ottawa), where its largest community, Kemptville, continues to expand — both in terms of residential and commercial growth — while still maintaining its small town charm.

Business park continues evolution of Barrhaven

The landscape in Barrhaven has been slowly evolving over the past few decades and will look dramatically different with the ongoing development of the CitiGate lands, a 170-acre premier business park at the corner of Highway 416 and Strandherd Drive.

Part of longtime Barrhaven City Councillor Jan Harder’s vision for the area is to make it more walkable by offering a wider variety of convenient

Walkable neighbourhood known for heritage homes Jen Traplin

shopping options as well as higher paying, local employment opportunities so residents don’t always have to commute downtown for work.

“We’ve set the stage for that by approving the CitiGate lands, where we have zoning in place that will allow for more than 7,000 jobs,” Harder says.

Andrea Steenbakkers, executive director of the Barrhaven BIA, agrees the CitiGate devel-

opment is an important step forward.

“While Barrhaven has seen significant residential and retail growth, we now need the third part — employment — to make it a whole, sustainable community,” she says.

“We have tens of thousands of skilled workers in Barrhaven who would love to work where they live, not to mention the relief to the City’s traffic and transit.”

OTTAWA NEIGHBOURHOODS – THE SOUTH

Kemptville College: A Mill an architectural piece of local history gem in Manotick Kemptville College has helped train generations of Canadians who earn their livelihood working to provide food for others.

Built in 1917, originally to support and strengthen farming practises in Eastern Ontario, Kemptville College specializes in programs related to agricultural and rural fields.

Nearly 20 years ago, Kemptville College became part of the University of Guelph, as well as the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC), a province-wide network of facilities for teaching and research in agriculture, food, the environment and rural communities.

Two years ago, though, the University of Guelph announced it would no longer offer classes at Kemptville College after all current students had completed their programs this spring. Recognizing the impact that decision would have, not only on the local community but across the agriculture industry as a whole, the province of Ontario set up a working group to examine the future of the Kemptville campus.

That group includes the municipality of North Grenville, which put together an am-

A plan is in motion to save Kemptville College.

JEN TRAPLIN

bitious plan for Kemptville College. The community’s vision sees the school as a non-profit, multi-tenant education and community hub focused on low carbon innovation and reducing the agricultural impact on climate change.

The group tasked with analyzing the feasibility of the North Grenville’s plan, BDO Canada, has endorsed its vision for the re-invented college, calling the plan both sustainable and unique.

For more than 150 years, the mill stones at Watson’s Mill in Manotick have been busy grinding wheat into flour.

The mill is the only operational industrial heritage site in the Ottawa region and is still a stunning piece of architecture today. Built from limestone cut from the Rideau River, it’s supported by white oak beams and hand hewn pine ceilings.

“Many architectural journals describe the Mill as one of the best examples of 19th century grist mill architecture in Canada,” says Elaine Eagen, Programming and Visitor Experience Officer at Watson’s Mill.

“Our visitors not only learn about the process, but have the opportunity to see and feel the building and its machinery in action.”

Throughout its lifetime, the mill has been owned by three local families. It was founded by Joseph Merrill Currier and Moss Kent Dickinson in 1860. It remained in the Dickinson family until 1928 when it was sold to Alexander Spratt. His family ran the mill until selling in 1946 to Harry Watson, who was the last owner to operate the Mill at an industrial level.

Nearly 20 years after Watson purchased the mill, he entered into a lease agreement with the National Capital Commission to open the Mill as a heritage attraction before it was eventually sold to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, who restored the building and re-opened it as a functioning grist mill and museum.

Watson’s Mill is open to the public during the warmer months and hosts a variety of events.

Watson’s Mill officially opens for the season on May 21, 2016. For more information, visit watsonsmill.com.

Watson’s Mill in Manotick also a heritage site.

First United Congregation of Ottawa hosts Nepali Gala Staff

Hoping to raise about $10,000 this year, the annual Nepali Gala hosted by the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa will take place April 30.

It also falls just days after the one-year anniversary of the earthquake in the same country that killed more than 8,000 people.

“People are still living in tents and shelters. You don’t have to do very much to improve their lives,” said Susan Mellor, a member of the organizing committee.

The event, now in its 10th year, features a Nepali-inspired dinner and folk dancing, as well as the sale of hand-woven scarves, jewelry,

saris and a silent auction of goods and services. A weekend resort retreat is also being given away as a door prize.

Proceeds for the annual event go to the Women’s Foundation of Nepal.

Mellor said they are hoping for 100 people to attend.

WFN provides immediate shelter for abandoned and abused women. They also have a co-operative where women make the scarves, textiles and jewelry that will be sold at the gala.

“Last year they had that massive earthquake, and a lot of their resources went to feeding the community even before the major aid organizations got to do their business. They really depleted

their resources.”

After the earthquake and aftershock, WFN used its dye vats as cooking vessels, in order to feed the community. They also continue to provide emergency relief to people in rural areas, providing blankets, clothing and a sack of rice per family.

Mellor is planning to volunteer with the organization later this year. Many of the other women who work on the organizing committee have also been to the shelter, which is located in Kathmandu.

“It’s such a beautiful country, but so impoverished,” she said.

Patricia O’Regan, co-oordinator of the Nepali Gala, has also visited the country

and learned about the importance of WFN. “One of the most memorable aspects of my visit was the extraordinary hospitality … and that it was all about the children there,” O’Reagan said in a release.

The event will be held at the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa at 30 Cleary St. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Tickets for the event are $35. For more information or to make a reservation, contact Patricia O’Reagan at 613-820-4061 or email ottawanepaligala@ gmail.com.

More information about WFN can be found at www.womenepal.org.

Submitted

Guests at the Nepali Gala enjoy Nepali cuisine and entertainment in 2015. This year’s Gala will be held by the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa on April 30.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it is easy to get excited about the wrong things this week. Try not to be too reckless in your actions, and stick with someone like Libra to keep you grounded.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may be unable to keep your emotions in check this week, and you just might let more things slip than you hoped to. It’s okay to open up once in a while.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Pursue a moneymaking idea, Gemini, because a partnership project is something right at this venture in time. Create a solid relationship with someone you trust and get started.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you keep hitting a wall with regard to a project. Accept that you will not make too much progress now and move on to something else. You can circle back later.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 A particular goal may seem like an uphill battle to anyone else but you, Leo. You have the stamina, work ethic and the personality to overcome any obstacle.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may be ready to go out on your own and demonstrate your independence, but something is holding you back. A support system isn’t a bad thing.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may quickly tire of any tasks that are put in front of you this week. Repetition is just not your friend, so look for activities that may be more stimulating.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, repeatedly taking an unsuccessful approach won’t produce new results. It’s time to try a new tactic. Perhaps ask a friend for a different perspective.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, turn up the charm and you’ll have more opportunities to get things to go your way. Just don’t put on an act or others will see right through it.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you are often the one to help others, but this week you need some assistance. Accept any help you can get and thank those around you for their willingness to lend a hand.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, distractions may be enjoyable this week, but you have to limit them or you will get nothing done. There’s a lot on your plate that you have to complete.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Tackling some financial problems this week, Pisces. Focus on old debt or something that has been plaguing you for some time.

Trail sign winner announced The winning entries for the Bridlewood Community Association’s design contest for the Trans Canada Trail Sign were announced at the BCA’s monthly meeting on April 19.

The sign is located on the Trans Canada walking/biking trail near Shetland Park.

Due to neglect and graffiti, it has started to look worse for wear.

The design contest aims to beautify the sign and make the area more welcoming for passersby.

Eight entries were submitted by local teens for this first-ever contest.

They were carefully evaluated and reviewed by a selection committee made up of members of the Bridlewood Community Association, local community members and a local artist who specializes in mural paintings.

First place was awarded to Katelyn Ristau, a Scouts Canada member and local Bridlewood resident.

The second place winner is Maaz Zaidi , a Grade

Cold water a very real danger each spring Canadian Safe Boating Council

It’s finally spring.

The days are getting longer, the air carries a sweet fragrance and the ice has reced-

The Canadian Safe Boat-

If the boat can’t be righted, they can put on their lifejacket and hold onto the boat until help arrives. The reality is when dealing with cold water those goals often can’t be reached.

Ten minutes of meaningful movement before the muscles in your extremities lose their effectiveness, and up to one hour before you lose consciousness due to hypothermia. If you’re not wearing a lifejacket and survive the initial shock and gasp, you have very little time before their arms and legs begin to stop functioning, preventing you from staying afloat.

pectedly find yourself in cold water. Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, Professor of Thermophysiology at the University of Manitoba, has experienced first-hand the effects of cold water.

Calvin Golden Retriever, Calvin, just celebrated his 11th birthday in March, but seems much younger because of his impishness and fun-loving ways. He loves life in the country, going for walks (when on very cold winter days he can be seen sporting his red booties along with his usual red bandana), running after his ball, and searching for dog treats in his daily “treasure hunt” his owners set up for him in the house. He knows if he brings an empty water bottle for recycling, he’ll get a treat, so that’s one trick he’s perfected and practices often. He loves cottage time and swimming, but for some reason, hates the drive to get there! He prefers the companionship of people over canines, immediately loving everyone he meets and just expecting the same in return.

Heat is lost much faster in water Continued from page 74

Studies have shown that our bodies lose heat approximately 25 times faster in water than in air of the same temperature. If you are wearing thermal protection such as a

neoprene wetsuit, paddling dry suit or a floater coat/suit, it will help keep you warmer for a greater length of time.

Should your boat capsize and you find yourself in the water, try to reduce the rate of heat loss by climbing onto

the overturned hull or any other floating object such as a cooler. If none are immediately available, remain as motionless as possible to allow your skin to warm a thin layer of water around your body. Thrashing in the water

not only disturbs this layer of warmer water but also accelerates heat loss. If you are alone, tuck your legs and fold your arms across your chest in the HELP (Heat Escape Lessening Position) to protect your vital organs. If you are with others, huddle together interlacing your arms and legs and pressing your tor-

sos together to preserve body heat.

One of the big questions is whether to stay with the boat or swim to shore. You should only consider swimming for shore if you are wearing a lifejacket, your chances for rescue are very slim and the distance to shore is manageable. (Be aware that the effort

involved in swimming will increase heat loss and adversely affect muscle movement.)

Whether you use a power boat, sail boat, personal watercraft, canoe, kayak or fishing boat, find more information on a variety of boating safety tips by visiting the Canadian Safe Boating Canada’s website at www.csbc.ca
