NOT PATIENTS. The best care for CHEO’s patients is truly the heart of the matter DONATE NOW SO YOUR GIFT IS DOUBLED

CHEO is embarking on a project to improve the Catheterization Lab and Interventional Suite. Creating one, technologically advanced suite will help doctors more accurately diagnose, and more gently treat, CHEO patients. Your support will make all of this a reality.

THE IMPACT WILL BE MONUMENTAL!

What an improved Catheterization Lab and Interventional Suite will mean for CHEO: •

Nearly real-time, 3D imaging guiding CHEO’s physicians as they place stents, close inter-cardiac defects (holes in the heart), enlarge cardiac vessels, perform biopsies, insert g-tubes, drain infections, deliver orthopedic care etc.

•

Provide higher quality images with fewer x-rays and the lowest possible radiation.

•

Eliminate the need for surgery in some cases.

•

Provide more accurate imaging to assist in diagnoses.

• Allow

CHEO to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures.

•

Reduce time in hospital and patient discomfort in comparison to older techniques.

Meet CHEO’s CHEO’s ambassador: ambassador : ZANDER Zander Zatylny is a seven year old cardiology patient at CHEO, and it so happens he loves golf!

He was born with a serious heart malformation that required two open heart surgeries before he was two years old! To date he has had eight stents placed in his heart to ensure proper blood flow to and from his heart.

With CP’s announcement to help upgrade a catheterization lab and interventional suite at CHEO, patients like Zander will benefit.

The Kanata Seniors Council is facing another challenge, this time with its board of directors.

The council has fallen to its minimum number of 10 directors and if it can’t attract new volunteers it will have to cut some of its programs or look at the possibility of disbanding, said John Kern, acting president.

“We have lost a number of directors in the past few months for various reasons,” he said. “If we don’t get active directors, the programs will go, but I’d hate to see the council dissolve because that would be disastrous.”

The seniors council was in danger of closing the Council Café and the computer lab in March of this year when it didn’t have enough volunteers to staff the two programs.

2 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, May 11, 2017

Festival showcases diversity of Kanata-Carleton Whether it be in song, dance or visual arts, west Ottawa abounds in diverse cultures.

The Kanata-Carleton Cultural Festival is an opportunity to join in celebrating the

mosaic of our country right here in Kanata. Saturday, May 27 will be a fun-packed day of family entertainment and activities right from the opening to the closing.

Sandwell Green Park will come alive with muskets booming and bag pipes playing, an aboriginal blessing and local celebrities. What could be more Ottawa Valley than some

good old stomping fiddle music by the Ottawa Valley Fiddle and Dance.

The voices of the West Ottawa Glee Club will rise to the tree tops, you will hear great jazz by the Geriatric Jazz Band and experience a Moldavian Folk Dance. And this is just a small sample of an exciting array of performances on the outside stage.

The Earl of March Secondary School auditorium will feature back-to-back performances from noon to 9:30

p.m. Where else can one enjoy Chinese folk dancers, a Punjabi dance group, Eastern European folk dances intermingled with the West Ottawa Glee Club, the Kanata Symphony and more, much more.

The Richmond Ramblers Blue Grass Band will have you swaying and a one-act play by members of Kanata Theatre will provide yet another sample of the cultural activities of this talented neighbourhood.

Apart from the entertainment on the outdoor and in-

door stages, look for the Creativity Corner where there will be children’s activities, poetry and story telling. It just never stops – from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., a full day is jam-packed with entertainment.

It is a day to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday and to experience why KanataCarleton is such a great place to live. This free event is family friendly.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Flooding in West Carleton

John Kern, acting president for the Kanata Seniors Council, says the council is in need of new directors or it may have to look at cutting some of its programs. Numerous volunteers stepped forward earlier this year to help keep the Council Café and computer lab open and the group is hoping for the same show of support.

Volunteer directors needed for seniors council Continued from page 1

Following an article about the need for help in the Kourier-Standard, the council was interviewing for the positions for three weeks, said Kern.

“We got tons of people, which was great, for the computers and for the café,” he said. “Now what we really need is volunteers to come forward and be willing to serve as directors … without that help we’re going to be in serious trouble.”

Services the council will look at cutting include special events, health programs, website updates and advocacy and outreach on items such as affordable housing and transportation.

“We won't have them and that would be a sad thing,” said Kern. “We just don’t have the people and the ones we do have are being overworked. I don’t want to burn people out because that could happen very quickly, very easily, and then I would hate to even imagine what would happen.”

The board must have a minimum of 10 directors, up to a maximum of 20, under its federal not-for-profit status.

Directors are asked to handle a portfolio — such as communications, travel or one of the various special events put on by the council — and to sit for a minimum of two years, said Kern. Board meetings are every two months.

“We’re only supposed to sit for two terms and then leave, but that doesn’t seem to happen very much,” said Kern, who’s been involved with the council since 2001.

“We do get some new blood but the new blood seems to leave within a year. I don’t know whether it’s they don’t want to do the commitment, they have other things to do or lose interest.”

The seniors council is for older adults age 55 and up, and there is no fee to be a member.

The council boasts about 1,000 members, and with a rapidly growing seniors population, the council provides much-needed services for that age group.

“I don’t want to do doom and gloom but the council has always been a leader and our group wants to see it continue to be a leader for seniors in our district,” said Kern. “It would be a disaster if we couldn’t get the help and couldn’t continue.

I'm not waving the flag that we’re going to drop dead tomorrow but it could happen if the commitment doesn’t come forward.”

For more information or to volunteer, call 613-254-7164 or email council@kanataseniors. ca.

The Kanata Seniors Council and its programs are run out of the Kanata Seniors Centre, located at 2500 Campeau Dr. For details, visit kanataseniors.ca.

We are currently in the midst of a heavier-than-normal spring run-off along the Ottawa River, and as a result numerous communities along the river are experiencing flooding. We should all take precautions and make sure we stay safe during this time. Talk to your children about the dangers of playing around the high waters. Reach out to your neighbours to see if they need any assistance.

Sand and sandbags are being made available at: the Constance Bay Community Centre, at Moorhead and Willola, the Morris Island Conservation parking lot in Fitzroy Harbour; and Greenland at Armitage in Dunrobin.

If you or someone you know is in need of help, please call 311 or contact our office at 613-592-3469.

Mental Health Week Every year during the first week of May we recognize Mental Health Week, an annual national event to encourage people from all walks of life to learn, talk, reflect and engage with others on all issues relating to mental health. Mental Health Week reminds us all that it is important to continue the discussions on the subject, in an effort to reduce the stigma of mental illness. We should all encourage one another to rally together and provide support to all members of our community.

Ottawa Muslim Women’s Dinner I was honoured to join MP Anita Vandenbeld and Councillor Marianne Wilkinson at the 16th annual Festival of Friendship Dinner, hosted by the Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization at the St. Elias Centre.

The dinner was tremendous and the company was even better. The evening’s event benefitted the Shano Bejkosalaj Memorial Research Bursary for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder at Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre. This is truly an excellent cause, and funding will be of tremendous benefit to children in our riding. Thank you again for a wonderful evening.

Door Knocking This past Sunday I spent the afternoon with an incredible team of volunteers knocking on constituents’ doors. It was a great opportunity to hear their concerns and recommendations, and the feedback and discussions were great! As the community’s representative on Parliament Hill, it is so important to hear first-hand the many, differing views of residents.

Thank you to those who shared their opinions and I look forward to continuing the door knocking throughout the spring and summer.

Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

A map of the streets that were blocked during the May 2 afternoon commute. A Rideau Transit Group spokesperson said a contractor doing streetscaping on Queen hit an abandoned gas nozzle.

Contractor caused gas leak: RTG 911 immediately and notified of the situation,” Keyes wrote in an email. “Buildings in the vicinity, the tunnel and the station entrance sites in that area were evacuated as a precaution.”

Emergency services controlled the site until the gas could be turned off, Keyes said.

Keyes said RTG is investigating the cause of the incident and work is underway to repair the gas line.

Reports from an LRT worker on site at the time said there was a very loud hissing sounds, and evacuation started quickly.

Kathryn Keyes, a spokesperson for Rideau Transit Group, confirmed a contractor working for the company struck a gas line while doing excavating work on Queen Street on May 2.

The work is part of streetscaping being done on Queen between Metcalfe and O’Connor streets.

Keyes said that at 1:25 p.m., workers hit an abandoned nozzle on a 4-inch gas main going into a building.

The light rail work downtown has been plagued with questions over safety concerns following the sinkhole last summer and media reports of workers being injured in the tunnel. Less than a week before the work that resulted in a gas leak, a crane tipped over during work on the University of Ottawa tunnel site on Waller Street.

Police seek suspect in Glen Cairn robbery

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Ottawa police are looking for a suspect who implied he was armed before allegedly stealing cash and cigarettes from a Glen Cairn convenience store last month.

The male suspect was wearing a ski mask when he entered the Mac’s convenience store, located along the 100 block of Castlefrank Road, on April 12 around 4:20 a.m. The man “suggested he was armed,” and demanded cash and cigarettes, said police in a news release issued on May 3.

He fled with an undisclosed amount of cigarettes and a small amount

of cash, said police. No weapon was seen and there were no injuries.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review The recent rainfall has been a very good test of our storm water management system and I personally will be thanking the people involved in getting the necessary work done to protect your homes. Residents of Kanata know what it is like to recover from flooding so we can all sympathize with the property owners across the city that are experiencing what our community has (in some cases three times) in the past.

I travelled around the community all weekend checking what used to be our weak spots in the system and was impressed with how well the water flowed the way it was supposed to.

Ottawa police released images of a suspect allegedly involved in a Glen Cairn convenience store robbery last month. The man is described as a black male between 18 and 25 years old, around 5-foot, 10 inches and with a slim build.

Council must protect the city’s history

C

ity council will soon consider an application containing more than a touch of folly.

A family in Rockcliffe Park is seeking approval to demolish a 1940’s heritage home. A folly indeed, and one council should turn down.

The applicants say the house has bats, mould and asbestos. All those issues can be remedied for a small sum of money when compared to the value of the existing home – well over $2 million.

And it’s a good bet the current owner didn’t skip the home inspection before plonking down millions of dollars.

There’s little doubt the owner has the means to make the home as nice as it was in the ’40s. It’s equally clear the current owner – who purchased the home in the last decade – knew what they were buying.

It begs the question: did they buy the home with the intention of knocking it down?

When there are people in the city without homes, knocking down a massive, elaborate, and quite livable house, just to build an even more elaborate residence is wasteful in the extreme.

Beyond the irony of demolishing livable space to make new livable space, council should also consider the wastefulness in terms of actual waste.

Somewhere a landfill will be a little closer to full when tons of debris and rubble arrive. And truckloads of new building materials will need to be manufactured and trucked to build the planned mansion.

If the owner wants a brand new, massive house, there is land for sale within the city limits where one could construct a Kardashian-style home that the neighbours would likely accept with a shrug.

Rockcliffe has history. It has character. It has homes more than a few years old, and that’s a good thing. The city should turn down any request to knock down Ottawa’s heritage.

Work still needed to make Ottawa walkable city

T

he Council on Aging of Ottawa has just released its Age-Friendly Walkability Progress Report. The council’s seniors transportation committee studied various neighbourhoods with the help of local students and other volunteers who went out and walked in the winter and reported on their findings.

The timing of the report (which is available on the council’s website www.coaottawa.ca) couldn’t be better. Winter is still fresh in our memory and many of the council’s observations concern winter walking.

And, speaking of timing, the report coincides with new census information on population trends in Canada. According to the 2016 census, Canadians 65 and over now outnumber Canadians 14 and under.

The trend will continue. In 15 years, almost one quarter of Canadians will be 65 and older.

assign higher priority to efforts that ensure age-friendly walkability.”

The point about getting people out of their cars is worth underlining.

City planning policy has long been pointed in that direction, with transit expansion and the encouragement of denser population around transit hubs. So improving walkability fits right in. So does improved access to transit. It may also be that the trend to taller buildings and denser neighbourhoods will create new challenges to walkability that will need to be studied.

As the Council on Aging notes, the city has been taking some steps. But the population trends dictate that the challenge will be a continuing one, as well as one with certain political implications. City politicians now know, if they didn’t know it already, that seniors will make up an increasingly large segment of the voting population.

Talking about mental health is first step

D

uring the first week of May, I obsessively groomed my lawn. I fertilized, I hauled and spread 3,000 kilograms of compost, and I overseeded three separate grass areas. I was outside a lot. I live on a corner, so I get a chance to meet a lot of people — dog walkers, people with strollers, and seniors walking to the local Mac’s store for milk and lottery tickets.

But it wasn’t until the third casual conversation I had about mental health, spade in hand, that I clued in that the first week of May marked Canada’s 66th Mental Health Awareness Week.

That I was speaking openly and honestly to friends and neighbours about mental health and mental illness strikes at the heart of the #getloud campaign, introduced by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) a handful of years ago.

“On the one hand, #getloud implies that talking openly about mental health is important for people who are struggling, and to create awareness and understanding among those who don’t,” says Tim Simboli, executive

saying we are not tolerating a lack of services or stigma around mental illness, or any of those things that keep people from getting the help they need. Strategic patience is no longer strategy when it comes to mental Capital Muse ahealth services.”

BRYNNA LESLIE

Simboli notes that CHEO has excellent service capacity, and efficient means of assessing and treating children suffering from mental illness. The problem, he says, is that the hospital is overrun by patients who could be better served in their own communities.

“The overcapacity issue isn’t because hospitals aren’t doing a good job,” says Simboli. “It’s because there hasn’t been enough investment in community resources.”

For its part, the CMHA offers a number of front line programs including direct intervention with the chronic homeless, an estimated 75 per cent of whom suffer from chronic mental illness.

Simboli notes that where CMHA’s assertive community treatment (ACT) teams are functional, they are very efficient and cost effective.

“ACT teams work in the community, not out of an institution,” says Simboli. “You don’t have to be an in-patient; you don’t have to go to a medical campus.”

Simboli notes that those in the lowest income brackets, including homeless people, are currently the bulk of people benefiting from community-

based services. The very wealthy and those who have benefits as part of work can perhaps afford $180 hourly to see a private psychotherapist. But the vast majority of Canadians are caught in the middle, unable to access any services at all.

Simboli says the solution is quite simple — start funding communitybased services for everyone.

“Most of the time, what individuals need is really good counselling and a medical professional to manage the application of drugs,” he says. “We don’t need hospital triage to manage this.”

Simboli says community programs can also help with most mental health crises, many of which are episodic in nature.

“There’s currently a gap for those people trying to cope with mild-tomoderate or episodic mental illness,” he says. “Perhaps something’s happening in their life and they are depressed or anxious.

“What’s available to these people?”

“Mental health and mental illness don’t recognize class,” Simboli adds.

“They can hit anyone at any time.

Many people we see in the shelters have had very successful lives until their mental health kicked in. There is no longer time to be quiet about this.

We need to get loud.”

Flooded homeowners can file for assistance

BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Hoards of volunteers who filled thousands of sandbags over the weekend are the reason many homes have been saved, city officials said during a flood update on May 8.

“The work is a testament to the dedication, generosity and resiliency of our community and it’s having a tremendously positive impact during this Erin McCracken/Metroland

Residents construct a wall of sandbags in the backyards of flooded properties in Cumberland on May 7.

very difficult time,” Mayor Jim Watson said. “As a city, we’re deeply grateful.”

Water levels in the Ottawa River hit record levels after a non-stop deluge of rain in recent days.

Volunteers came out to fill sandbags, forming walls and barriers protecting homes from the water. Some homes were saved, but there will likely be houses that won’t be salvageable because of damage

By the numbers • Less than 75: the number of houses believed to be affected on May 5 • 310: the number of houses actually affected in the city, as of May 8 • 75: number of families that were displaced due to flooding, as of May 8 • 250,000: the maximum

dollars available through disaster relief per home • 400: metric tonnes of sand bagged in Cumberland • 3,300: metric tonnes of sand bagged in West Carleton • 120,000: sandbags filled in West Carleton

from the flooding.

“I want to say thank you to the many volunteers who really stepped up to the plate,” said West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. “On Saturday afternoon, I couldn’t believe it.

People were coming to me and the mayor and thanking us for being there. They’re the ones who were losing their home. I can’t believe the response we have from our residents. “ The area hardest hit in the city is El-Chantiry’s West Carleton Ward, with an estimated 275 homes affected. Watson said there were an additional 25 homes affected in Cumberland, and 10 in Britannia.

City manager Steve Kanellakos said the municipality will now focus on assisting residents with cleanup and restoration efforts, but the city is still in emergency response mode.

Take photos, keep receipts for diaster relief claims: mayor Continued from page 12

There were still private security staff on site in Cumberland and West Carleton to deter theft, and to allow the community centre in West Carleton to stay open around the clock.

There is a command centre set up at each of the three communities most affected by the flooding, including West Carleton, Cumberland in the east and Britannia in the city’s west end.

“Residents are physically exhausted from working so hard,” said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who has toured the sites since last Wednesday to monitor water levels. “They’re working in cold and shoulderhigh water for days on end.

They’re emotionally exhausted from the experience and the reality and tragedy of the situation that they and their neighbours are facing.”

Watson responded to comments that he hadn’t declared a state of emergency, saying the status isn’t as commonly used in cities with more significant resources, compared to smaller towns like Clarence-Rockland, which did declare a state of emergency.

“It has to be something where we’re so overwhelmed we don’t have the resources – financial, personnel or equipment – for the situation,” he said.

He added there is a representative from the Canadian Armed Forces in the city’s op-

erations centre, and if needed, military assistance would be only “a call away.”

City staff believe the water has already hit its peak.

Damaged items sit in flood water outside a home in Constance Bay. Residents can apply for the province’s disaster relief fund, which will pay up to $250,000 per home.

Watson said residents who choose to make a disaster relief claim should take photos of any furniture or appliances before they are discarded, as well as keep receipts for all expenses related to evacuations.

There is a $250,000 maximum payment per home available through the province’s disaster relief fund.

On May 9 and 10, the city was to host meetings to deal with disaster relief and recovery for impacted homeowners.

Students triple their goal with Alzheimer’s fundraiser KATIMAVIK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Katimavik Elementary School’s Grade 8 class hosted a charity event on April 27 – Alzheimer’s Awareness Night – in support of the Alzheimer Society Of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

During our event, we hosted a silent auction, served food and beverages accompanied by a live music concert performed by our Grade 8 class, plus a donations table. We had a special guest coming to our event, Susan Kennedy, a representative from the Alzheimer Society.

The event was a huge success and raised more than $3,000, surpassing our original goal of $1,000. We never anticipated the generosity of all the people that helped support our event, and thanks to the generous donations from local businesses around our community, and plentiful donations from the family, friends and guests attending, we were able to help support the Alzheimer Society.

When our teacher, Mr. Gray, told us back in January that our class was participat-

ing in the Entrepreneurial Adventure Program we were very excited and began to come up with ideas right away. This Canada-wide competition is an opportunity for youth in grades 1 to 8 to experience the world of business. We do this by coming up with a business, event or product to sell/host to people to raise money and donate to a charity of our choice.

The first step was deciding on what charity we would like to donate to. It was a difficult decision because there is no wrong choice when it comes to picking charities, but in the end we chose the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

We chose this particular charity knowing that a couple of us in the class are directly and indirectly affected by the disease.

We began to discuss ideas on what we could do to support the Alzheimer Society. A couple of ideas we had were hosting a film night, math or French tutoring, an evening dinner, selling baked goods, end, the idea that stuck out cause. selling customized T-shirts, or most was hosting an event to Our class of 31 split into even a garage sale. But in the raise awareness for this serious five groups to organize the event, including social media management, logistics, local business support, budget, and advertising teams. The social media management and advertising teams worked on spreading the word about our event online and through posters and other advertising means.

The logistics team made the plans for the night, including the program and the menu.

Our local business support team created letters to send out to almost 100 businesses

Submitted

Students provided musical entertainment during an Alzheimer’s Awareness Night at Katimavik Elementary School on April 27. and companies to ask for donations to our event and silent auction. And lastly, our budget team calculated all of the cost for everything we needed for our event, and helped organize the gym, so we could set it all up.

And after everything, our class learned so much from this amazing experience and we are definitely thankful to have

been a part of the Entrepreneurial Adventure Program.

We would have never realized how much effort and planning you had to put in just to set up a simple two hour event.

We are sure that us and the community are now more aware of the effects of the chronic disease that is Alzheimer’s, which affects so many of us.

Councillor demands inquiry into light rail progress

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The same day a gas leak shuttered four blocks downtown during the afternoon commute, Gloucester-South Coun. Diane Deans asked for answers on the city’s light rail project.

Rideau Transit Group — the consortium that’s building the first phase of the city’s multi-billion dollar light rail project — has said a contractor doing streetscaping work on Queen Street hit an abandoned gas nozzle going into a building, causing the gas leak.

The latest snafu follows a crane tipping over at the site of the University of Ottawa tunnel at Waller Street and last summer’s sinkhole on Rideau Street.

“I think there’s a simmering sense out there that something’s not quite right,” Deans said.

Her inquiry asked staff to report back to the city’s fi-

nance and economic development committee about the Ministry of Labour orders, whether or not the project is meeting important milestones.

The city’s transit commission approved the $1-million ready for rail marketing campaign in April. At the meeting, transportation services GM John Manconi said the train would enter into revenue service when it was ready.

The contract with RTG has a completion date of May 2018, but Manconi and transit commission chair would only say opening day for the Confederation Line would be in 2018.

Deans said one key milestone was a cleaned-up Rideau Street for the Canada Day celebrations this year.

“I was in the downtown and there’s a lot of work to be done to meet that milestone,” she said.

Manconi did say at the April 19 transit commission meeting that RTG would be paying

for extra construction hoarding and promotional signs to hide work during the country’s 150th birthday celebrations.

Deans said she’s also worried about whether or not the project is sticking to the budget.

“If there’s problems, we shouldn’t be hiding them, we should be very forthcoming,” Deans said, adding there’s a veil of secrecy around the project.

“I shouldn’t have to ask for this information, it’s our job as stewards of the public purse to make sure the taxpayers — the people who are paying the bill — get answers to these questions,” she said.

Deans said she also wants to know what the testing requirements are for the trains once they get handed over to OC Transpo.

“I saw this when I was chair of transit, and with the Trillium Line,” she said. “There could be a lot in terms of testing requirements.”

City reviews noise bylaws Recommendation report to be released May 11

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The city’s bylaw service is looking at recommending some changes to noise bylaws following four public consultations and the results from an online survey.

More than 2,600 residents completed the online survey, while 5,100 read the online material related to the review.

A recommendation report will be compiled and released

by May 11, said Jerrod Riley, bylaw review specialist, at a meeting held in Kanata on May 2.

Bylaw is reviewing a num-

ber of items, including: • Low-frequency noise and vibrations • Snow removal in residential and commercial areas • Construction noise and the exemption process • Motorcycle noise and other vehicles on private property • Waste removal • Wind chimes • Car alarms The late-addition public meeting in Kanata attracted four residents on May 2, while the three consultations in west and central Ottawa brought in a total of 31 people.

Music, snow removal, construction and vehicle noise topped the list for those in attendance at the Mlacak Centre.

“We’re aware the noise concerns are very different based on the type of community you live in,” said Riley,

adding the data is being analyzed from the urban, suburban and rural perspectives.

“We’re trying to make sure we’re developing evidencebased policy and that we’re attuned to the different needs of different communities.”

Citywide, bylaw has received an average of 11,300 service requests for noiserelated issues over the past five years.

Kanata accounts for five per cent of those requests — with an average of 470 calls for service since 2012.

BASE NOISE

Bylaw is proposing a clear definition for identifying low frequency or base noise, which is mostly music related, said Riley. Bylaw would enforce it under a pre-existing section of the bylaw.

A witness statement and a bylaw officer’s assessment of the level of disturbance would be enough to enforce the provision.

Metroland file photo

The city’s bylaw service is recommending lowering the maximum allowable noise for overnight construction exemptions to 85 decibels down from 90. Bylaw conducted a noise bylaw review and planned to release its recommendation report on May 11.

“It would be possible for an officer to come to your home and if they can feel the sound they can lay a charge,” said Riley.

That option is less intrusive and less expensive than requiring decibel readings,

By the numbers The top five noise issues, on average from 2012-16 In Kanata: • 214: music • 106: shouting • 51: construction • 31: machinery

• 13: car alarms Citywide: • 28,148: music • 14,503: shouting • 4,564: construction • 2,305: machinery • 1,369: info-noise

he said. Acquiring 10 C-scale decibel meters, which measure base noise, would cost more than $100,000 — as well as the annual operating cost, including additional operator-hours, for the devices.

“The other key advantage is it’s actually more adaptive to the needs of individual communities,” said Riley. “Something that could be unnoticed downtown, in a quiet suburban community could be disruptive. This would give our officers a little bit more flexibility.”

The majority of online respondents agree with bylaw’s

preferred option for base noise, he said.

SNOW REMOVAL

Bylaw is considering limiting the overnight snowplowing of private residences to five centimetres of snow or more.

The city can’t restrict commercial or street clearing, but there’s been a marked increase in residents using forhire snow removal services, which can cause repeated noise disruption over the course of a night, said Riley.

See NOISE, page 21

Noise bylaw review to go to committee on May 18 Continued from page 20

“We figured that five centimetres or less would not have as much mobility impacts, people will still be able to get out and get to work,” he said.

“By imposing the five-centimetre limit, we would reduce the number of nights of snow disruption from 75 down to 18 based on the year-to-year average for Ottawa.”

Many residents who’ve responded to the survey would prefer to keep the status quo when it comes to snow removal, saying it’s too important and would greatly impact mobility.

“An increased number of seniors would wind up having to shovel their walk and create some public health concerns,” Riley said.

Snowplow contractors weren’t keen on the idea of an imposed restriction.

“We actually reached out to every single snowplow contractor in the city,” he said, adding contractors raised some issues.

“Snow clearing is heavily affected by change in temperature,” said Riley. “The fivecentimetre restriction might not work for the entire city; because we’re so big we actually have different weather patterns. You can get lots of snow out here and none in Orleans.”

Residents at the meeting said they felt the five-centimetre restriction between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. was a good option.

“I think it’s respectable,” said Janie Poirier, who lives in Kanata Lakes. “I actually have a smart car, and five centimetres is perfect.”

Bylaw is still reviewing the options and hasn’t settled on its recommendation, said Riley.

CONSTRUCTION

Construction currently takes place between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Mondays to Saturdays, and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays.

Bylaw was asked to look at

VEHICLE NOISE

Metroland file photo

The city’s bylaw service is applying to the province to increase the fine for causing unnecessary vehicle noise to $400, up from $305. Bylaw conducted a noise bylaw review and planned to release its recommendation report on May 11. changing start times for Saturdays to 9 a.m. and all end times to 8 p.m.

The service was consulting with residents and those in the construction industry

before making a recommendation, said Riley.

During overnight noise exemptions, bylaw is recommending lowering the maximum allowable noise to 85

decibels, down from 90.

“This will ensure the construction that happens overnight is aligned with Ministry of Labour standards,” said Riley.

The motorcycle noise bylaw includes all vehicles but only those being operated on private property, such as a driveway.

Bylaw can issue tickets for unnecessary vehicle noise, ineffective mufflers and idling.

Bylaw is applying to the province to increase the fine for causing unnecessary vehicle noise and ineffective mufflers to $400, up from $305, said Riley.

“We’re not going to make changes to the rules,” he said.

“But what we can do is increase the fine to serve as a deterrent.”

Bylaw is also sharing all information collected from the online and in person consultations with Ottawa police.

“Just to make sure they’re aware of residents’ concerns,” said Riley.

Bylaw is analyzing all submitted comments and will release its recommendation report on May 11, said Riley.

The report will go to the community and protective service committee on May 18 and to city council on May 24.

Two and Three Mile cousins knew how to cause a stir

G

etting invited to a birthday party didn’t happen very often. Birthdays, if celebrated at all, were left to the family. And if your birthday was close to Easter, or Christmas, like mine was, all you got was cake with well-used candles on it. There would be no money for even the simplest of presents.

But Two-Mile-Herman’s home was different. here were 11 children in his family, some of them married and on farms of their own, and there was young Cora, who was my age, and when her birthday rolled around, those of us who were in her grade were simply invited by an older brother or sister at recess at the Northcote School. There was no such thing as written invitations.

And so, one Saturday, my brother Everett drove me over to the Barr Line in the buggy for Cora’s birthday party. The place was fair jumping by the time we got there. All Cora’s friends from school were there, as well as various cousins, including Three-Mile-Herman.

Now, the two cousins didn’t always see eye-to-eye, and it was an everyday occurrence to see them come to blows behind the Northcote School over some-

T

MARY COOK Memories thing as simple as failing to hit the ball, or make it to first base.

Presents weren’t expected either. And if one was offered, it would be something simple like a little fancy hanky taken from a Christmas present, received from a rich aunt months before, or a toy watch from a box of crackerjacks. You were there to have fun, eat, and go home with one of the butterscotch suckers gathered together with an elastic band, and bought at Briscoe’s General Store for a nickel a bunch.

It didn’t take long for the boys to separate from the girls, going outside to play tag, shoot tin cans off the fence with their slingshots, or sitting on the pump platform playing marbles.

Cora’s friends elected to stay inside, never taking our eyes off the big mile high cake in the centre of the kitchen table. It seems

to me, all we were there for was to eat cake and go home with a butterscotch sucker.

Cora’s mother eventually went to the back door, banged a wooded spoon on the bottom of a tin pot, and the boys tore into the kitchen and with us girls circled the huge table that easily sat Two-Mile-Herman’s complete family. It was cake time, which to me was far more exciting than just sitting around doing nothing.

Because inside the cake we knew there would be a few coins wrapped in wax paper, including a whole dime. No one knew who would get the dime. It depended entirely on where Cora’s mother cut into the cake. I was told by Mother before I left home that if I was the lucky one, I was to hand the dime over to Cora, which I didn’t think the least bit fair.

Well, I needn’t have worried, because Three-Mile-Herman got it, and that’s when the fight started. Two-Mile told his cousin to hand it over to his sister Cora, but Three-Mile already had it in his pocket, and announced he’d be leaving because his Father would be waiting for him at the Northcote Side Road. Two-Mile threw himself at Three-Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove.

The rest of us sat around the kitchen table eating cake as if a free-for-all between the two cousins was an everyday occurrence, which it was.

Cora’s mother simply went to the pump in the kitchen, pumped out a dipper of water, and threw it over the two boys, which brought the fight to a sudden halt. She just stood

there with the dipper in her hand, and her arm stretched out. Three-Mile knew what she was after, and he pulled the wax paper-wrapped dime from his pocket and handed it over, which was then handed over to Cora. Cora licked the cake off the wax paper, and tore upstairs

Two-Mile threw himself at Three-Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove with the dime to put it away for safekeeping.

The party was over. Everett was waiting for me outside with the buggy, and I went home wondering why anyone bothered to have a birthday party in the first place. I would never be lucky enough to find a dime in my piece of cake, and besides, we had cake every Sunday, so that was no treat either. I talked it over with my sister Audrey, and we both decided celebrating birthdays at home with only the family was far better than getting all dressed up, just to come home with a butterscotch sucker!

Information Session Baseline and Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design May 17, 2017 6 to 9 p.m. Presentation at 7 p.m.

St. Paul High School 2675 Draper Avenue By attending this information session, residents will be updated on how the City will address the community’s concerns related to the design and construction of the proposed stormwater management pond. Residents will be able to ask questions of staff and subject matter experts and hear more about the project’s next steps. This session is the last step in the public engagement process for this project.

Information about the project’s background, existing conditions on the site, and pond alternatives will also be available at the meeting.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF PESTICIDE USE The City of Ottawa intends to control Wild Parsnip in areas city-wide along rural and suburban roadsides. Spot spraying will continue throughout the summer months as needed within the City of Ottawa.

The program will use Clearview Herbicide (PCP #29752, containing aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl) and Gateway adjuvant (PCP# 31470, containing mineral oil – paraffin base (adjuvants), surfactant blend) under the Pest Control Products Act (Canada).

Treatment for Wild Parsnip will commence on May 15, 2017 weather permitting, and ending October 15, 2017.

The treatment area map and program details, including how opt out of the program, may be accessed on ottawa.ca/wildparsnip.

For further information, contact 3-1-1.

The City of Ottawa has initiated this Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed stormwater management pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015).The proposed pond will provide water quality treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek.

The study process is following the requirements of a Schedule B project under the Municipal Class EA and has identified a preferred alternative and functional design for the proposed pond.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accessibility accommodation, please email your request before May 15, 2017.

Travellers warned privatization could add to airport costs Passenger numbers see steady climb at Ottawa’s airport

BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Another Sham Budget So the 2017-2018 budget is out.

This year’s budget is the government’s last opportunity to convince Ontarians to give them another chance. Predictably, the government is congratulating itself on a supposedly balanced budget and a mass of new ‘investments’.

But don’t be fooled.

The budget isn’t really balanced. The government is hiding a $5 billion operational deficit with one-off revenues and inappropriate use of assets.

If you fly, you know who’s getting you in the air. But it may be time to give some thought to who’s getting you off the ground.

In the case of Ottawa’s flying public, few may know that the city’s airport is operated by a not-for-profit organization. And that the federal government is considering the sale of Canada’s largest airports.

“We receive no government funds,” said Mark Laroche, the Ottawa International Airport Authority president and CEO. “As a not-for-profit, we pay rent to the government, the businesses that operate here pay taxes. We even pay for the police.”

Speaking at the authority’s annual general meeting on May 4, Laroche said Canadian policy

Metroland file photo

Ottawa’s airport has seen passenger numbers and revenue increase while facing the possibility of being sold by the federal government – along with other large Canadian airports – to for-profit owners. The airport authority says owners driven by profit will probably mean higher costs and reduced services. means users pay 100 per cent of the cost of air travel.

“Customers won’t benefit if airports are privatized – the math

Government apparatchiks have papered over a lot of what they owe with revenue from the embarrassing fire-sale of Hydro One and the carbon tax boondoggle.

They’re also citing assets held by public-sector pension plans as government assets – a cheap trick which Ontarians should easily see through.

But it gets worse.

The budget says that Ontario’s debt will go up another 8% over the next two years to $336 billion.

This means that the government has no plan to reduce Ontario’s massive debt – a debt which has more than doubled since they took power.

Annual interest payments on this debt amount to $12 billion. This is just about the cost of a gas plant scandal every month. It is also significantly more than this government spends on post-secondary education and community safety combined.

The Ottawa airport served more than 4.7 million people in 2016, a record for YOW. That number was up 1.9 per cent compared to the previous year.

does not add up,” Laroche said, adding the federal government could still be tempted by the “one-time revenue” that could be raised through a sale.

Laroche pointed to the United Kingdom and Australia, where airports have been sold off to private interests.

“In Australia they’ve said

it’s damaging their economy as costs rose and service levels fell.

We have no reason to believe it would be different here.”

The Australian government’s Airport Monitoring Report 2015-16 noted: “Higher aeronautical charges have been used to both cover increasing costs per passenger and to grow profit margins. For example, costs per passenger have risen by 50.9 per cent at Perth Airport and 48.9 per cent at Melbourne Airport over the last decade.”

Laroche said the authority has called on Minister of Transport Marc Garneau to reject a sell off.

“We’ve been very vocal,” he said. “We want to protect Canada’s world-class airports.

“There’s a real risk if the owner concentrates on the return for their investors instead of reinvestment in services and infrastructure. (Privatization) can only be done by increasing fees or cutting operations.”

See LIGHT, page 25

Light rail means better service: CEO Continued from page 24

Domestic passenger numbers jumped 5.5 per cent, while the far less frequent flights to the U.S. and other international destinations saw passenger totals down 8.5 and 9.6 per cent respectively.

The authority brought in $125 million in revenues (up 3.1 per cent over 2015) coming from sources such as airport improvement fees, which currently add $23 to each ticket. On-site parking and rent paid by stores and services in the terminal are other sources of revenue.

He said Ottawa’s limited nonstop flights “will continue to be a challenge because airlines like the hub-and-spoke model.”

Toronto and Montreal are the hubs – and are expected to remain so – while Ottawa sits at the end of a spoke. The frequent connections to those two cities are evident on YOW’s departure boards; travellers can choose from 47 daily flights to Toronto’s two airports alone.

More airlines and a denser population mean U.S. ticket prices can entice Canadian travellers to drive south to board a flight.

During a question period, Laroche said terminals in Upstate New York – along with many U.S. airports – are subsidized by their federal government.

“It’s artificial,” he said. “How long can it continue? I don’t know. They need billions of dollars in infrastructure according to President Donald Trump.

“I hope their model creeps to our model (of user-pay). Let’s see how this plays out, but at the moment rates are probably

‘We understand it will affect parking revenue but we’ll still advocate for light-rail because it’s best for the community and we look at the bigger picture.’

MARK LAROCHE

cheaper here because of the exchange (on the dollar), the distance and crossing the border.”

Ottawa airport users likely flew right by YOW’s biggest change in 2016 – an investment of $60 million in a new baggage handling system that went operational last summer. It was installed while the existing system continued to move bags, with no downtime.

“The project has been com-

pared to changing the tires on a vehicle while it’s moving at 100 kilometres per hour,” Laroche said.

Laroche said drones will continue to be an issue, in part because casual drone users don’t always know the rules about flying near airports. There are new federal laws with bigger penalties to deter misuse.

“Reinforcing that will require time and effort, which we’re willing to invest,” he said.

Ottawa’s future light-rail system will eventually link the airport to much of the city, and that’s a day the authority would like to see sooner rather than later.

Laroche said trains aren’t likely to increase the number of passengers at YOW, but would make the travel experience faster and more comfortable. He also said the authority accepts a good public transit connection will probably mean lower parking revenues.

“We want it because it would mean better service for our customers and cars off the road,” he said. “We understand it will affect parking revenue but we’ll still advocate for light-rail because it’s best for the community and we look at the bigger picture.

“If this was a for-profit, the owners would say, ‘Keep your rail away.’”

Let your spare dress or suit go to prom

BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Even Cinderella needed a little help with her dress.

Dozens of students at Bell High School will look sharp when they attend their senior prom on June 28, thanks to people who like to make dreams come true.

Students, staff and wellwishers from across the community have been donating dresses to make sure seniors have something to wear to their graduation party. And students who prefer pants haven’t been forgotten; they have access to discounted suits and tuxedos.

The Pop Up Prom has come together thanks to about 30 student volunteers and teacher Karen Kurlicki. The group has been working since last summer to make sure there are

enough dresses and suits, and a nice place to shop for something glamorous.

“We have thousand-dollar dresses,” said Naomi Woolf, a Grade 12 student who has helped manage day-to-day logistics. “They’re for sale for $10 to $40 max.”

Naomi said the cost of the prom and dinner is $115, with more cash required for the after-party. Add in the cost of a new dress or suit and there’s a good chance some grads might stay home.

“The financial cost can be way too high,” she said. “Some students might not come at all. Prom is all about friends you’ve been with for years.”

Fellow Grade 12 student Giau Le said it would be sad to see someone miss their grad party because they feel they don’t have the right clothes.

“It’s just once in your life-

time,” Giau said of the prom.

“You get to have fun.”

While there were no glass slippers available as of May 3, students who would like new or gently used shoes, handbags, jewelry and other accessories to complete their prom look will have a nice selection to choose from.

See STUDENTS, page 27

Kurlicki said the number of students who volunteered to help the Pop Up Prom kept growing as the year went on.

“It’s all volunteer and donation,” she said, adding it’s hard to keep track of just how many hours students have been willing to work.

More than 100 dresses fill racks, awaiting new owners on May 18 and 19, when the shop opens. The volunteer help extends to the mirrors (donated and then framed at the school), change rooms (made by staff) and even the dress racks (made to order at the school).

Any donated items that aren’t a match for Bell students have been passed on to Grade 8 grad ceremonies in Bell’s feeder schools, or donated to the Adult High School, where they’ll be worn during graduation ceremonies and help those heading out on job interviews.

It’s the third year Bell has connected students with prom clothes, and Kurlicki said many young women become attached to their dress because of fond memories of the evening. But if they do decide to let the dress go, the Pop Up Prom is happy to see items re-donated for another grad year.

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

Q: My spouse and I are separated and our child has turned 18 years old. She is starting post-secondary education in September, who is responsible for these expenses?

Getting your child to the completion of their high school education can be an exciting and busy time.

By this point in their final year, most students have thought about what their next steps are and are starting to make arrangements for what will happen in September. Unfortunately, our children are very rarely self-supporting by this stage of their lives which leads to the big dilemma of - who is to pay for these post-secondary education expenses?

Dozens of pairs of shoes are lined up at Bell High School’s Pop Up Prom, awaiting a trip to the June grad party.

Naomi Woolf, a Grade 12 student, is one of the many volunteers who have set up the shop for students who need a dress.

When parents separate, their financial obligations to their children are typically set out in the child support guidelines. These obligations are set out very clearly for children under the age of majority but when children turn 18, the entitlement to ongoing support is not as straightforward. There can be an ongoing obligation to pay monthly child support for a child who

is over the age of 18, depending on the circumstances, and there can be an ongoing obligation to contribute to that child’s special and extraordinary expenses.

Post-secondary education costs may qualify as a special and extraordinary expense which parents could have an obligation to continue to contribute towards long after their child has turned 18.

Determining which types of expenses qualify, how much each parent should contribute towards the expense and what is a reasonable contribution to expect from the child is not always easy to do.

Seeking advice from an experienced family law lawyer can provide parents with the information needed to understand their obligations when it comes to post-secondary education expenses and supporting their children beyond the age of majority.

The Grassroot Grannies will have plenty of items for sale during the group’s annual Plant Sale and Market Place on Saturday, May 13.

Grassroot Grannies host 11th annual plant sale, market

Firefighter Dana Best (left) and fire prevention officer Sue Jones were on hand at Cabela’s in north Kanata on May 6 to show off the tools of their trade, share information about fire prevention tips and to promote Camp Female Firefighters in Training, an annual week-long training program in Ottawa that gives girls, ages 15 to 19, the chance to learn what it takes to become a firefighter.

The Grassroot Grannies will have plenty of perennial plants available during the group’s annual Plant Sale and Market Place on Saturday, May 13.

Now in its 11th year, the event runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 93 Knudson Dr. in Kanata. There will be a variety of hardy plants suited for different settings, as well as pretty pots perfect for Mother’s Day gifts.

“We dig the plants up out of our gardens,” said Stella Val, member of the Kanata-based grannies group.

“This is a perfect time to plant perennials, before it gets too hot.”

And for those who don’t come by a green thumb naturally, there will be a number of experienced gardeners who can answer plant-related questions and offer gardening tips.

The market place will feature gently used jewelry, as well as handmade jewelry boxes, birdhouses, stained glass and the popular infinity scarves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started selling the scarves last year and they're a really hot item,â&#x20AC;? said Val.

Former Kanata resident signs with Australian soccer club

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A former Morgan’s Grant resident continues to chase his dream while playing professional soccer around the world.

Signed earlier this year to Clarence United FC in the Australian state of Tasmania, Odaine Demar said he hasn’t given up his goal to play for Canada or a pro-level European team.

“My next step is to keep pushing for more,” said the 23-year-old in an email. “I still have dreams to play at the highest possible level for a top club in Europe and hopefully the Canadian national team.”

Before Demar was signed to the second division Tasmanian football club, he played stints with the Rochester River Dogz (now the

‘Being able to continue playing soccer at the professional level is an honour.’

ODAINE DEMAR, FORMER KANATA RESIDENT

Rochester Lancers), Kingston Clippers, Southern West Virginia King’s Warriors and Gamla Upsala Sportklubb in Sweden, among others.

“Being able to continue playing soccer at the professional level is an honour,” said Demar, who played on the U20 Jamaican national team.

“I credit a lot of my success to my time spent in Ottawa where I coached and helped out at numerous soccer clubs in the area.”

Demar coached youth teams at the West Ottawa Soccer Club and volunteered with the Nepean Hotspurs for a short time.

“I was inspired by all the kids back home I was able to work with,” he said. “I hope to better my career to inspire those back home who have dreams and aspirations to play at high levels.”

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an opportunity for Zhou to hear about a new patient that might appreciate a visit with Andy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just lights up peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When they go into the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room, Zhou said she places Andy on the bed, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll calmly lie down while patients pet him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love him. Some of them they have dogs at home and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see their dogs, and they think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a special treatment,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Walking into the hospital on a Thursday morning is seamless, but it took about a year to get everything lined up.

He had to be recognized by St. John Ambulance as a certified therapy dog.

Walking past the cafĂŠ, Andy tugs a little on his leash, hoping for a quick break, but it has to wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to work first,â&#x20AC;? Zhou tells him as they head for the elevators.

Andy is an instant hit as the elevator doors open to the seventh floor.

He gets lots of attention at the nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station as hospital employees crouch down to greet him, say hello and get a quick photo.

Andy the therapy pug is a new addition to the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus, where he visits patients. He can also pay visits to seniors residences and schools.

Pugs a natural fit as therapy dogs Continued from page 32

It’s Andy’s third certification.

His previous family had him certified to visit seniors’ residences and schools.

Zhou has had Andy for about a year; she adopted him after his family surrendered him to Under My Wing Pug Rescue.

But that wasn’t Zhou’s first run-in with the pug. She also fostered him a few years ago for about 10 months before he was adopted by a family from Elliot Lake.

After fostering him for so long, Zhou wanted to keep him, but the adoption process had already started.

“He’s just such a good, sweet, sweet dog.”

That temperament makes pugs the perfect breed for therapy dogs, said Genevieve Boucher, president and founder of Under My Wing Pug Rescue. “(Zhou) knew he had a great potential right from the beginning, so I was not surprised when I got an email to say he’s been certified by St. John Ambulance,” Boucher said.

Boucher has a three-year-old pug of her own that she takes to Villa Marconi each Friday to visit the seniors.

“It’s just a nice thing to do. My little guy is just three years old, but he’s super laid back and he loves everybody.

He puts such a smile on their faces. Pugs are great for that.

“They are the best little guys if you want to bring them to see kids or older people, they are just super friendly.”

It’s clear to Zhou and Boucher that the visits go a long way to brightening someone’s day.

“I really love dogs and the happiness and the pleasure they give me. I really want to share it with people and we are an immigrant family here, and the country gave us a lot and I feel so lucky we can live here, and it’s a way to give a little bit back. That’s the little thing that I can do.”

On Sunday, May 14th from 11am - 3pm Refreshments and snacks will be served.

Lyn Leonard, resident of Arnprior, died peacefully in her sleep at the Brockville General Hospital on March 10th. She was born in Noranda, Quebec on September 30, 1940 to Marg and Harry Bender. Her husband and the love of her life, Ron and their cherished son, Steven, preceded her in death as did her dear siblings, Phyllis Allcorn and Jack Bender.

She is survived by her daughter Susan (Chris) Vallom and her adored grandsons Liam and Riley Vallom of Prescott, Ontario. Also surviving is her very special niece, Jennifer (Stephen) Johnson and their children, Tabitha, Brendan, and Aidan. She was blessed with many nieces and nephews and cousins too many to list, as well.

Lyn was a long time resident of Glen Cairn where she and Ron moved in 1971 to raise their family. She graduated from the Belleville General Hospital nursing program but left nursing to stay home with her children and to allow them the long summer vacations that Ron had as a teacher which they spent happily camping across Canada. Lyn devoted countless hours to volunteer activities in her community and she built many strong friendships within the UCW of Glen Cairn United Church and with Beta Sigma Phi. She returned to work as a special education teacher’s assistant after Susan left home and was fortunate to spend her final years at Glen Cairn Public School in her neighbourhood. She was a creative and talented artist and crafter who enjoyed painting, knitting, sewing, and in recent years Swedish weaving and she brought those hobbies with her when she moved in 2002 to White Lake. She also took a lot of pleasure from cooking and travelling and was able to indulge in both with her family and large circle of friends. Her heart disease slowed her down in recent years, but she did as much as she could when she was able and enjoyed every second! Please join with her family and friends on Saturday, May 20th from 12:30-3 at the Lion’s Den Community Centre at 170 Castlefrank Rd in Kanata for a celebration of her life.

Before she died, we planned a party with her favourite poutine and Caesars and with lots of laughter and memories of a life well lived. I hope that those who knew and loved Mom can come and share their memories with us.

Measuring the scope of an iceberg to roaming along the moon — the latest in Canadian robotics was on display, and available for play at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum.

The NSERC Canadian Field Robotics Network held a Canadian-made robotics conference at the museum, 11 Aviation Pkwy. on May 4.

The conference welcomed scientists and engineers from across Canada to showcase the latest in robotics in the country.

Kanata-based space

flight engineering company NEPTEC, which had partnered with NCFRN for the conference, had its latest project, a lunar exploration vehicle, on display.

Software manager Jason Muise and Brad Jones explained that their rover, Juno, offers a new type of technology that scans 360 degrees continuously in one spot.

The rover, a large-scale prototype, also allows for additional equipment, such as arms and other functional additions to be added, depending on a space agency’s needs Jones added.

Alan Do-Omri wheeled around the conference in a self-driving wheelchair, which gives users the opportunity to map and remember locations.

The goal, Do-Omri said, is to allow users better navigation in tight spots.

“This is a machine that can help people who are using power wheelchairs navigate without requiring to control the chair,” he said.

Do-Omri noted artificial intelligence such as the power wheelchair is a great tool if it’s used right, adding it can help a lot of people.

There were 20 different projFOR SALE

ects on display at the museum, as well as drone demonstrations at the Rockcliffe Flying Club.

According to Greg Dudek, professor at McGill University and scientific director of Robotics Field Network, this conference offers the opportunity to see the latest innovations in four different themes; land, air, water and human interaction.

Since the network was established in 2012, the NCFRN has funded the work of 180 researchers across the country, working with dozens of Canadian robotics companies and startups. To date, the organization has supported 100 different research projects.

Transportation committee OK’s plan for Elgin redesign

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

In the world of deal making, it’s best when everyone walks away with a little something.

That’s the tone transportation committee chair Keith Egli set as the committee approved the $42 million reconstruction project, which includes Hawthorne and a small section of Waverley Street.

The plan includes cutting four lanes to two, as well as reducing the speed limit to 30 km/h.

The plan is to make Elgin a complete street, which currently scores barely a passing grade for pedestrian access, Egli said.

The project is made necessary due to the 100-year-old sewer and water infrastructure under Elgin, the staff report says.

The much-needed work is an excuse to deal with some of Elgin’s shortcomings.

“For me, as chair of the transportation committee it’s not acceptable that we have a street used as much as that street is used and have sidewalks that are substandard,” he said.

The sidewalk space will increase by 43 per cent, according to the staff report.

Right now the sidewalks are so narrow pedestrians sometimes have no choice to enter the roadway The plan also aims to include as many trees as possible, as well as more bus shelters.

The report was carried with a slew of added motions, including getting staff to work on a plan to free up parking

The plan for Elgin includes raised intersections, 43 per cent more public space and more trees. around Elgin for affected businesses. Another motion will add 90 flex spaces during peak periods to help mitigate the loss of parking due to the rejig of the roadway.

Several councillors on the committee lauded the public consultation process.

The city put together a working group of residents and business owners to give the public their chance to have a say on the redesign. The city hosted two public open houses that hosted 300 people and an online survey

that garnered 1,000 responses. them for a year that’s a benefit benefit to the people that live In the last couple of weeks to everyone,” Egli said. “It’s a and just off of Elgin. It’s a there was some horse-trading to get the construction timeline on the project moved up from two years to one.

There’s some rumblings that the move would court the business community.

Egli said an accelerated timeline is good news for all walks of life.

The switch to one year serves everybody, commuters coming from Barrhaven and other areas, if we only have to detour

Councillors question plans to do work in one construction season Continued from page 41

The plan for Elgin includes raised intersections, 43 per cent more public space and more trees.

“The main issue is, can we minimize the pain and save the businesses,” he said.

Another Elgin Street bar owner, Peter Abraham, who owns the Sir John A. Macdonald pub, is on side with the plan.

“City staff have put forward a design I am excited about,” he said.

Egli said city staff heard from businesses that their main concern was construction timelines.

“They raised that concern with us and we told them give us an opportunity to fix it,” he said. “We can thank Brian for his work on behalf of the business community. They dug in the same way staff dug in and then we came up with the plan and both sides sold the plan.”

But some councillors were skeptical workers would be able to complete the work in one season.

“I just want to make sure that we aren’t over promising and under-delivering,” Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish said.

Qaqish added he’s concerned that 30 km/h is “overkill” and said he’s not sure motorists will comply with the new posted limit.

Transportation planning manager Vivi Chi said the new speed limit will be possible due to the design and size of the street. She also said the area was too narrow, so the lower limit will help make things safer for cyclists.

Raised intersections at Lisgar Street, Somerset Street, Gilmour Street and Gladstone Avenue, along with curb “bulb-outs” would reduce vehicle speeds, the report says.

HYDRO POLES

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury went to bat to try and get underground hydro, but couldn’t get much traction because of the increased cost.

“A hydro pole on the sidewalk becomes 60 metres of issues for pedestrians and busi-

ness owners,” he said.

City staff said they’d be moving the poles, but the costs estimates were prohibitive.

Transportation planning GM John Manconi said the estimates start at $10 million and could grow.

Fleury asked about laying the duct work underground to make it easier to put the polls there in the future, but Manconi said he didn’t think the dollars were available and there would be little appetite to dig the street up again “four or five years down the road.”

At the end of the day, Fleury said he supported the plan.

“It’s very strong and we are supporting our downtown streets with this plan for Elgin,” he said.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, whose ward the bulk of the project is in, said she knows “everyone loves Elgin” and was impressed with the “intensive” consultation.

“It’s a win for pedestrians, who deserve the highest level of service,” she said. “This is Courtesy of the City of Ottawa the right thing to do.”

Pedestrians don’t have much room on Elgin Street sidewalks now, city staff say. The Council gets final say on the narrow sidewalks cause people to enter the roadway. functional design plan May 10.

Groups oppose coyote relocation from Experimental Farm crops under control.

“If you use common sense to protect your pets, they don’t present any risk, and they don’t present any risk to people.”

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Agriculture and AgriFood Canada is spending more than $2,700 to capture and relocate coyotes away from the Central Experimental Farm.

In an emailed statement, the federal department said, “The safety of the public and our employees is a priority, which is why AAFC proactively hired a company to explore humane options for the capture and relocation of coyotes.”

The decision to capture and relocate the animals has several groups up in arms.

“Relocating makes no sense,” said Donna DuBreuil, president of the Ottawa Carleton Wildlife Centre. “Basically, if you have a natural food source there, wildlife are going to come.

DuBreuil suggested the creation of policies to manage wildlife in public areas.

She also supports education about co-existing with wildlife.

“We need to educate about how to co-exist because wildlife are going to continue to come,” she said.

“The whole thought of taking one or two coyotes out is not only silly, but it’s a bad thing because you are opening up space for another coyote pair to come in. If it is a pair, there could be pups and you are leaving them to die.”

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada will spend $2,700 to capture and relocate coyotes from the Central Experimental Farm.

DuBreuil pointed to other cities, including Oakville, which created policies and programs to educate residents about living with wildlife, some specific to coyotes.

EDUCATION

Even the City of Toronto held a recent public education meeting about how coy-

The Animal Protection Party of Canada, Coyote Watch Canada and OttawaCarleton Wildlife Centre have spoken out about the decision to relocate the coyotes.

They also highlighted that the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and Regulations prohibits relocations further than one kilometre.

“At the end of the day, you relocate the coyote, but as long as there’s an attraction site — either a denning site or a food source — other animals are going to move in.

“What are you going to do, just keep relocating things? And where do you move them to?” asked DuBreuil.

otes are here to stay.

“Other cities are far outstripping us in terms of being proactive and more progressive in terms of coexistence programs,” she said.

She said the farm should be happy to have coyotes on the farm, helping to reduce populations of mice and voles and keeping damage to

Champion effort for CHEO

CHEO champion Jacob Randell, 13, gets a hug from the CHEO Bear at the launch of Walmart’s spring fundraising event in Stittsville for the Children’s Miracle Network on Friday, May 5. All funds raised locally through Walmart for the Children’s Miracle Network Champions program benefit the CHEO Foundation. This year’s fundraising campaign, which continues into the beginning of June, is the 23rd annual Walmart campaign. Since 1994, the region’s 25 Walmart stores have raised $5.9 million for the CHEO Foundation.

Kanata North is leading next generation network development Here’s why you should be part of it

BY JENNA SUDDS President and executive director, Kanata North Business Association

We know how to start a tech revolution. We’ve done it before, and we’re doing it again.

Anyone who knows their telecom history associates Ottawa with a booming age of Canadian telecom, namely the halcyon days of R&D giants like Bell-Northern Research.

Riding the wave of their influence, hundreds of tech startups emerged in Ottawa’s Kanata North tech park. Today, it’s home to over 500 companies, including major brands like Huawei, Ericsson, Mitel,

Nokia, Ciena, and Dragonwave. It’s Canada’s largest tech park, and it’s fostering a new age of entrepreneurial spirit and growth.

Ottawa’s deep roots in the telecom industry are feeding our radical next-generation network (NGN) initiatives.

There’s a new set of challenges facing the industry (5G, here’s lookin’ at you), but we understand them, and that’s what matters. With the wealth of executive expertise, talent and R&D infrastructure in Kanata North, we’re poised to lead the coming transformation.

What’s more, there’s an impressive amount of funding coming down the pipe to speed things along. So how will you make sure you and your teams are part of the pack that’s racing to bring about the NGN revolution? Do these govern-

ment funding numbers catch your attention and rally your entrepreneurial ambitions?

• $950M in supercluster funding • $300M for smart cities • $63M for the Centre for Excellence in Next-Generation Networks

Things is upon us, and it’s a game changer.

That said, our current infrastructure won’t support the growth of these devices for long – not at the high speeds customers demand. Enter 5G, the infrastructure that will enable high-speed connectivity and allow the proliferation of information and communication technologies as we’ve never imagined. Essentially, it will enable more devices than we can collectively envision to connect to the Internet and operate at high speeds.

The beauty of 5G is that in addition to enabling commercial products, it creates opportunities for social change.

Imagine free, citywide wi-fi and kids learning to code in school. Imagine how that would level the playing field and encourage boundless in-

novation from the ground up.

If it’s done right, it’s a chance for everyone to access and contribute to the Internet of Things.

So 5G is the beginning. And in Kanata North, we have the skill set and the know-how to push 5G forward and drive intense innovation.

THE BIG ROLLOUT

After R&D, the next step is going commercial. It’s a significant area of focus for the federal government because, frankly, it’s one of Canada’s tech weaknesses. Canada excels at R&D, but we don’t commercialize well. And the tech revolution will be a non-starter without commercially viable products rolling out nationwide.

Country’s best tech park is here Continued from page 51

Rest assured the NGN innovation being developed in the Kanata North Tech Park will lend support behind the scenes on the advances our country will experience in years to come.

So what will the world look like after a 5G/NGN revolution, and how will Kanata North be involved throughout the process?

Let’s consider smart cities as a single, intelligent platform that would let the city of Ottawa manage and monitor all of its services. Think of the efficiencies we could build into water meters, parking meters, city services, health care, and more.

And how much would you love an app that finds the closest available parking spot downtown on a Friday night?

Yeah. That’s the one that grabs everyone’s attention.

The federal government’s Smart Cities Challenge Fund will support co-operation among local governments,

citizens, businesses, and civil society who want to create clean, digitally connected technology including greener buildings, smart roads and energy systems, and advanced digital connections for homes and businesses. Canada’s best tech park is in our backyard.

This is our chance to rise up and capture the imagination of a country. As the nation’s capital, the City of Ottawa could lead the way by becoming the smartest city in Canada.

Then there are autonomous vehicles (AVs). Several companies are working on AVs in Kanata North, and we couldn’t be prouder that they chose to call the Kanata Tech Park home.

As AVs come on the market, they will increase the demand on information networks. Let’s be ready with 5G when they do.

And let’s not forget apps.

The business opportunities that will open to developers with the advent of 5G are innumerable. There’s space in

this process for everyone, including gifted, solopreneur programmers without corporate backing, who are creating apps for the sheer pleasure of it. They can sell their products and expand their capacity too.

Growth begets growth at every level.

GEAR UP AND GET INVOLVED

Start thinking now about how you and your company can drive NGN innovation.

How can you be part of this exciting intersection of private companies, academia, researchers, and hubs so the whole system benefits?

In Ottawa alone, CENGN, Ericsson, and Mitel are highly involved in R&D around 5G, and that could be amplified with a groundswell of support from businesses across the tech park and eager entrepreneurs throughout the city.

So tell me – how will you benefit from this next wave of technology? #SeriousTechLivesHere

sudoku

Bearsaeinrs

horoscopes

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS 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, finding what you desire when you haven’t made your own mind up aboutwhat you want can be challenging. Some soul-searching can probably come up with something promising.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Going back to school might be the best path for you at this time, Leo. Although this might stretch your schedule to its limits, you’ll find the time if it’s important to you.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 There are a few friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin, Sagittarius. When one comes knocking at your door for help, give this person the support he or she needs.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Nagging doubts about an investment may be trying to tell you something, Taurus. Hold off on any bold moves until you feel more confident with parting ways with cash.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can find a solution to a problem even if the answer eludes you for the time being. Don’t overthink what has to be done. This is a time to act.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you have already committed to something, see it through.

The end result may be something unexpected. Others are anxious to see what you can accomplish.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, trips may seem like they have to be large undertakings, but that’s not always the case. Try for a short jaunt somewhere and enjoy the scenery.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Take the emotional plunge, Cancer.

Someone special needs to hear about it pronto. This is not a week to clam up, but rather one to share your feelings and let others in.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 The time has come to spend less time thinking and more time doing, Scorpio. Turn a page in your life and you’ll likely be satisfied with the results.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you always have time to do something for yourself, but you might need to put that on hold right now and focus on others. Forge ahead even if you are met with resistance.
