Cyclists test north Kanata bike lanes Event designed to spur repairs to trails and paths Adam Kveton Adam.Kveton@metroland.com

There were dozens of cyclists on a mission in Kanata North on May 4, aiming to improving cycling infrastructure throughout the ward.

EnviroCentre, a not-forprofit organization that offers services and programs aimed at conserving energy and improving the environ-

ment, held the Cycle-In event as part of its Sustain Kanata North initiative.

Cyclists were invited to travel from the edges of the ward to the Kanata North tech park on their bikes via five different routes as they took notes, photos and videos of their experiences and cycling infrastructure as they went.

The trips began at 7 a.m., and cyclists met an hour later at 555 Legget Dr. for their observations to be shared.

As the roughly 30 cyclists who took part in the event Adam Kveton/Metroland send in their photos and Dozens of cyclists and their supporters gather at the Kanata See COUNCILLOR, page 4

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson shows off the newly printed Kanata North cycling map to dozens of cyclists during EnviroCentre’s Cycle-In event on May 4. The cyclers took various cycling routes to Kanata’s tech park to evaluate the cycling infrastructure and suggest repairs and improvements.

videos of their experiences as well, EnviroCentre will put together a report, which they hope to have ready later this spring, said Julie Gourley, program co-ordinator for Sustain Kanata North.

About 21,000 people are directly employed in the Kanata North tech park area, and about half of those live within a five-kilometre radius.

That’s a great distance for cycling she said.

“I thought it went well,” Gourley said of the event, adding that though some chilly weather may have deterred some cyclists, she was happy with the turnout.

Longtime cyclist and Carp resident Tim Sparling participated in the ride and said, based on what he saw, cycling infrastructure is improving, but still has a long way to go.

Leigh McElveny – both members of the Kanata Nepean Bike Club – rode from Old Second Line Road and Old Carp Road and down Terry Fox Drive. One of the issues they noticed is the bike lane along Terry Fox Drive ends abruptly at March Road.

McElveny added that, in general, greater education about what the rules are regarding cyclists needs to be shared with both drivers and cyclists.

The group of cyclists was greeted by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who unveiled the recently printed Kanata North cycling map, created by the Transportation Action Committee Kanata-North and Sustain Kanata North. The map includes a difficulty rating for all Kanata North streets and pathways.

Wilkinson said the report generated from the Cycle-In event will be passed on to the city to press for improvements and repairs.

Wilkinson said she is already pressing the NCC to maintain a path near Burke Road at Carling Avenue.

Have you ever wanted to see the Lion King, but unable to make it to the big city Broadway theatre?

Well, worry no more.

A group of Kanata high school students have you covered and the production is a close second to anything Broadway could produce.

The first musical production for the new intermediate division at Earl of March Secondary School, according to Kelly Ann Ross, the teacher organizing the play, said staff and students have been working hard since November to create the show.

During a full dress rehearsal on May 7 the students ran through the play as though it was opening night — and the small audience of teachers, stage hands, prop masters and art directors – were drawn into Simba's world.

The last showtime for the public takes place on Thursday, May 12 at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium.

Tickets are $8 each at the door.

Spectacular golf-course lot w sunny southern exposure. 3,700 sq. ft. incl. M/L den & fam-rm, 6 above-grade bedrms, 3 full baths. Spacious principal rooms.

Letters ask for transit extension to Kanata by 2023 Allan Hubley Positive Change

Continued from page 1

Both letters point to a lack of public transit as a barrier to growth and employee recruitment, and single out the federal government’s budget announcement committing $11.9 billion for infrastructure in the next two years.

Using numbers from a recent economic study requested by the Kanata North BIA, the organization referred to the Kanata North Business Area as Canada’s largest research and technology park, contributing $7.8 billion to the country’s GDP in 2015, and paying more than $120 million in city taxes.

“The demand for talent in our city has never been higher,” reads the BIA’s letter.

“Accessibility to public transportation is critical to attracting and retaining a talented workforce, and is an important factor in attracting new businesses to the area and in retaining those currently located in Ottawa.”

The Sens letter echoed the sentiment, saying, “At a recent gathering of Invest Ottawa with many west end-based businesses in attendance, the key barrier to growth expressed by them all was ‘talent.’ Hiring good, skilled professionals is the key to future growth. Lack of mass transit, and a plan to extend LRT to Kanata, is a barrier to attracting talent and attracting new businesses to our city.”

The Sens letter added that – while the team plans to move to LeBreton Flats – the organization will still own a “major asset (Canadian Tire Centre) and a large parcel of land that will require redevelopment.”

While the letter gives no clue as to what that redevelopment might be, it does say anything contemplated would be “best served by an improved mass transit solution.”

That improvement, as suggested by the BIA, is a light rail extension from Bayshore to Terry Fox station by 2023 – during the second phase of the light rail transit plan, rather than the third.

The Sens, however, go a step further, suggesting a light rail connection to the Canadian Tire Centre from Terry Fox would be best.

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review

Adam Kveton/Metroland

This rendering of what the Tunney’s Pasture light-rail transit station might eventually look like gives an idea of what various CEOs, business people and the Ottawa Senators are hoping will arrive in Kanata much sooner. Two letters were sent to Mayor Jim Watson in mid-April urging that a connection to Kanata built scheduled for far earlier than it currently is.

While these requests might have been pipe dreams as recently as last year, the federal budget has brought it into the realm of possibility, said the Kanata North BIA’s executive director Jenna Sudds.

“We viewed the new federal budget, and specifically funds allocated to infrastructure as an opportunity to revisit the LRT issue,” she said.

“With further federal support, LRT to Kanata is more realistic given the city’s budget pressures.”

The BIA’s letter suggests that an extension to Kanata could be financed 50 per cent by the federal government, which would benefit considering the military’s plans to move into the former Nortel Campus on Carling Avenue.

The other 50 per cent

would be paid for by a onethird contribution from the province, and by reallocating funds from already approved projects like bus rapid transit and from not having to build a transfer station at Bayshore.

The BIA’s letter included 36 signatures, many from influential business people and CEOs such as Terence Matthews, chairman of Wesley Clover, Nordion presient Scott McIntosh, Halogen Software president and CEO Les Rechan, the chair of the West Ottawa Board of Trade, Mark Nisbitt, and many more.

Councillors Shad Qadri, Eli El-Chantiry, Allan Hubley and Marianne Wilkinson also signed the letter.

“With the considerable amount of influential signa-

tories on the letter, we do believe that the letter is having influence with the city,” said Sudds.

“I think with this coming to the city from many different sources, with a large amount of influential support behind it, that the city will re-examine the issue,” she said.

Watson’s office responded to a request for comment, saying Watson “is pleased to see that the demand for LRT is growing in communities across the city.

“Mayor Watson is working with West-end councillors Qadri, El-Chantiry, Hubley and Wilkinson, as well as with MP Karen McCrimmon, to consider the proposal outlined in the correspondence we received.”

May is bike to work month and while we have a great cycling network in the community, we have been working on adding to our existing pathways and making improvements for users. Information and updates about our current projects can be found on my website www.councillorallanhubley.ca.

For discussion on future plans, please subscribe to our newsletter.

Traffic calming also continues to be a priority for me and I am currently working with the Traffic Department to add new locations throughout Kanata South for speed pavement markings, flex stake signage and other traffic calming options that we piloted here since becoming Councillor.

Discussions and a vote were held this week at Council about photo radar and I will be going into more detail regarding this in my upcoming newsletter that will be mailed out to residents. Thank you to all who provided feedback through my website survey.

Park and Ride At the Transit Committee meeting on 9 May 2016 Councillor Wilkinson tried to gain support to implement a charge on all users of the Eagleson Park n Ride. Along with most members of Council, I will not be supporting this attempt to create an unlevel playing field for residents in the west end.

While we usually work well together on matters that benefit Kanata, this idea does not meet that threshold and that is why I asked council to reject her idea.

Photo radar is coming, you can count on it

W

ho would argue about the safety of kids? It’s a no-brainer, and no one would dare.

Bravo to those who want to introduce the money machine known as photo radar to the streets of Ottawa.

By cracking open the door to photo radar by using the old standby – we must do it to save the kids – the City of Ottawa’s transportation committee has tapped the gas and surged toward green-lighting photo radar as a traffic enforcement tool.

On May 4, the committee recommended council ask the province for permission to use photo radar. At this point photo radar in Ottawa is being called a “pilot project” and would only be used in school zones.

And any revenue generated would be dedicated to a “road safety” fund. The issue was slated to go to council on May 11.

“I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale rollout of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,” Mayor Jim Watson wrote in a memo in support of taking this route.

“Or for those who are concerned with the

tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.”

Those hesitant, concerned people once seemed to include Watson. But the safety of kids is the issue now, not an enforcement tool that does absolutely nothing to stop a speeding driver from motoring along on their merry way. Photo radar is a “the bill is in the mail” traffic enforcement option.

The city still needs the province’s approval to move forward with its photo radar scheme, but it does have local MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, in its corner.

Yes, the former Mike Harris government did cancel photo radar use in the past, but that was a rare instance of government giving up a revenue stream.

And yes, if photo radar returns, keeping it to school zones would seem the least objectionable way to go.

The question is do you really trust a government to get its hands on a revenue tool, and stick to the narrow application of that tool?

History suggests the answer to that is a lot different than what we are hearing from city hall these days.

There inevitably follows a widespread discussion in the news media in which various people weigh in on the evils of tipping and why it should be abolished.

No one has made a convincing case yet.

Among the arguments you hear are these: • Tipping doesn’t happen in other jobs.

• Tipping doesn’t happen in many foreign countries.

• Tipping the server is unfair to other restaurant employees, such as cooks, who work hard but don’t receive tips.

• The tips don’t reach the server anyway, but are scattered about to cover other restaurant costs.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town • And maybe the owners get them.

• Tipping is inconvenient to customers, who have to figure out what 15 per cent is and avoid the embarrassment of under- or overtipping.

Although some of the other arguments may have validity here and there, it is probably the last that means the most to people.

People don’t like having to tip, some of them for the reasons above, some of them because they’re just cheap.

But that’s not a valid reason to

abolish tipping.

The valid reason to abolish tipping will come when servers are paid a decent wage and don’t need to rely on tips to bring their incomes to a livable level.

Hardly anyone would argue that we are there yet. Wages are low, held down, in some cases by the existence of tips. But it does not logically follow that abolishing tipping would cause wages to go up, does it?

And while it is certainly true in some cases that the entirety of a tip does not reach the person for which it was intended, it is next to impossible to rectify that situation. Just think what it would take to enforce that.

While some look wistfully to other countries, such as in Europe, that do not have tipping, they should look carefully too.

Serving has a higher status there than here, and servers are paid better.

So if we want to adopt the Eu-

ropean model, we have to adopt the entire European model, which means higher wages.

Higher wages for servers probably means, and should mean, higher wages for other restaurant employees.

In turn, these mean higher prices on the menu. Will the people who want to abolish tipping eagerly accept that?

It would be good if they did.

Having to rely on tips is not a pleasant situation for people in the serving professions.

But having to get by without them is even less pleasant, unless their job pays them more money.

It is not a dilemma that is easily resolved. A drastic change in attitudes on the part of owners is called for.

Maybe it will come. There are signs that it will. But it won’t happen tomorrow.

There are some years ahead in which the tipping option will still be presented to us, the consumers.

Award-winning Kanata author, teacher scores high with latest book ‘Shooter’ about high school lockdown with Breakfast Club inspiration Adam Kveton

Adam.Kveton@metroland.com

Bridlewood author and All Saints Catholic High School teacher Caroline Pignat puts a high school, and five students in particular, through the wringer in her latest book: Shooter – This Is Not A Drill.

Taking place in a boy’s bathroom during a school lockdown, five students with very different stories are trapped when they find out the lockdown is not another drill but the real thing.

Shooter is Pignat’s second book in a row that deals with sensitive, politically-charged situations.

Her last book, The Gospel Truth, is historical fiction about the struggles of a black slave in the United States, which Pignat wrote entirely in free verse.

The book won Pignat her second Governor General’s award.

“It’s funny because I avoid conflict and I’m not comfortable with controversy,” said Pignat. But, in both cases, she said she followed her inspiration down the rabbit hole regardless of being uncomfortable.

However, it wasn’t the situation that Pignat was most concerned about, she said.

She was most concerned with representing five distinct teenage voices as authentically as possible.

THE TEENAGE MIND

Coming from a background primarily in historical fiction, Shooter is Pignat’s second contemporary book to date. But strong research nonetheless played an important role in crafting the book, she said.

“It was the same thing with writing about slavery or any of the other books that I’ve written,” said Pignat.

“I want to have empathy for the person that’s in that moment which means a lot of research so that you actually get to know their story or their world.”

In this case, that meant reading diaries of students who have been through a school shooting.

“I did a lot of that kind of research to get into the head of the people that were affected by it,” she said. “But it’s not a Columbine story by any means.”

Instead, the format of the story is inspired by the movie The Breakfast Club.

In Shooter, Pignat takes five very different students, all with their own judgements about their peers, and locks them in a room together.

There is Isabelle, the popular girl who is also student council president and a highachiever.

Hogan is an ex-football player with a troubled past.

Xander is a socially awkward photographer who takes candid pictures of student life.

And then there is Alice and Noah.

Alice is an introverted

Dig We Do Ltd.

613-277-8299

writer who feels chained down by her big brother, Noah, who has autism.

Each character tells their stories in different ways, with text messages, school projects, poems and even pictograms to show how each character sees and interprets their world.

Working as a teacher, and being the mother of teenagers herself, helped inform these choices, said Pignat, in addition to research into how people with autism learn to communicate.

The pictograms Pignat uses, for instance, are based on real-world teaching tools for people with autism, she said.

The various characters also provide many more ways into the story for the reader, she said, as five distinct high school experiences are represented.

“I had to treat each of them like the main character,” Pignat said, though she expects each reader will consider a different character the main character.

For Pignat, that’s Xander.

In fact, the title of the book, Shooter, is a reference to photography, not projectiles, she said.

Though the book has received some positive reviews from official book reviewers, it’s the word from teens that Pignat is most interested in.

So far, she said she’s heard good things.

Pignat will be reading from the book at the Chapters outlet at Kanata’s Centrum shopping centre on May 28 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

City Councillor, Kanata north MAY IS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MONTH – Sitting through the day can be harmful to our health. So, as well as your regular exercise program, do what I do by “sneaking in” movement during the workday. Stand and stretch, go for a brief walk at lunchtime, or do mini workouts in the office. Do so this month and inspire others by posting a photo, using #sneakitin, and share it with @ottawahealth on Twitter. Ottawapublichealth.ca has more info.

NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS – This new library is being planned by the Library Board (on which I’m a Trustee) for construction in 2018/19.

Mom gets no gov’t help for son’s eye surgery Ontario continues study, while other provinces cover procedure Adam Kveton Adam.Kveton@metroland.com

When then 19-year-old Joshua Fayle decided to get his eyes checked, he thought the solution to his blurry vision was simple: he needed glasses.

But instead he was told he had to speak to a specialist. “Your corneas are the shape of footballs,” he was told.

That was in February 2015. Now Fayle, who just turned 21, has no usable vision in his left eye and is legally blind in the other.

Over the past year, Fayle and his family have been through an “overwhelming” journey, he said, that saw him diagnosed with a little-known eye disease and then wait for months for an appointment with the University of Ottawa Eye Institute as his sight grew worse.

Fayle’s doctor at the eye institute then told him and his mom that he needed surgery in 10 days or his vision would get so blurry it would be unusable.

The surgery would cost $1,500 per eye, they were told, and it’s not covered by OHIP. With just a month before Christmas, Fayle’s mom Jennifer, who supports her two kids, was not sure where she would get the money.

But she had to somehow.

“To not do the surgery was just not an option,” she said. “He had to have it.”

ALL A BLUR

Fayle was diagnosed with keratoconus disease. It’s a little-known eye condition that causes the clear surface at the front of the eye, the cornea, to lose strength, said Dr. George Mintsioulis with the eye institute. “(Then) the cornea has a tendency to expand over time and protrude forward which causes distortion,” he said, leaving patients with blurry vision.

In Joshua’s case, the disease progressed rapidly and showed no signs of slowing when his doctor at the eye institute, Dr. Setareh Ziai, recommended what’s called cross-linking.

The procedure works by soaking the surface of the eye in riboflavin, said Mintsioulis. The riboflavin solution infilitrates the various layers of the cornea, and ultraviolet light is used to attach it to the cornea, making it stronger and stopping expansion.

“We cannot make (the cornea) go back (to its original shape),” said Mintsioulis.

“But at least we can stabilize it enough so it does not progress any further.”

But finding out the procedure meant to save Joshua’s vision was not covered by OHIP was a blow to Joshua and his mom.

“I felt pretty helpless because it wasn’t

Adam Kveton/Metroland

Joshua Fayle and his mother, Jennifer, sit at their dining-room table in their Stittsville home after a difficult year where Joshua’s sight rapidly became blurrier and blurrier. Then, when they were told he had to undergo surgery, they found the surgery meant to halt eye disease was not covered by OHIP. an option to not pay that money,” said Jennifer.

“I had my kids to support, I have a child in college and another child finishing high school and rent and bills and stuff like that, so you know, it was scary.”

The gravity of the family’s financial situation was not lost on Joshua either.

“I felt guilty because I didn’t have the money to pay for it,” he said.

“We walked out of that appointment and he said, ‘Let’s not get the surgery done,’” said Jennifer.

Instead, Jennifer began reaching out, at first to Ontario health officials, government representatives at various levels, and then, when they couldn’t help, to philanthropy groups.

GETTING HELP

The Kanata Hazeldean Lions Club was able to help, providing a cheque for $1,500.

One of Jennifer’s two employers was also of great help to the family, she noted Joshua was able to have the surgery on Dec. 3 last year.

His right eye is now stabilized, and he has useable sight out of that eye, though he has to hold screens and books very close to his face to read.

His left eye, however, had too much scar tissue and, despite the surgery, is almost useless now.

Jennifer and Joshua hope that a special kind of contact lens can help improve his sight, but those cost about $2,000, said Jennifer. Joshua may also undergo a corneal transplant in his left eye.

The transplant involves removing a portion of the patient’s cornea and replacing it with donor cornea tissue, said Mintsioulis.

With that procedure, the patient may

reject the donor tissue and – even when successful – the keratoconus disease can take hold years down the road if crosslinking is not also performed, he said.

It’s also much more invasive, said Mintsioulis.

But cornea transplants are covered by OHIP. “It’s basically, ‘Well, when you’re blind we’ll do something about it,” said Joshua.

He and Jennifer said they were both disappointed with the government’s lack of support for cross-linking, especially since it has been done in Ontario since 2008 and in parts of Europe since 1998.

According to a CBC report, five provinces and one territory cover the cost of cross-linking.

Asked why Ontario does not cover the surgery, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care outlined its process for considering whether to cover the cost of new medical innovations.

In 2011, the ministry began a threeyear pilot project where the surgery would be covered at Kensington Health in Toronto but nowhere else.

While the pilot ended in 2015, the results have yet to be finalized and a second phase of the pilot has been funded.

Asked whether the ministry considers the research of other provinces and territories, a ministry representative responded that it does, but said it awaits the results of its pilot project.

“The procedure is working and it is helping individuals prevent the problem,” said Mintsioulis, adding that crosslinking is a better option than a cornea transplant. “I think, yes, cross-linking does work. Otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it.”

City on the road to using photo radar after committee vote Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee set the wheels in motion on May 4 for a photo radar program that will enforce speed limits in some school zones.

The motion, originally the brainchild of River Coun. Riley Brockington, will petition the province for the power to use photo radar and reduce the speed limit of some residential roads.

The motion gives ward councillors the option to request radar be used in specific neighbourhoods, and reduce the speed of residential roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40.

Just before the committee meeting, Mayor Jim Watson, who crafted the original motion with committee chair Coun. Keith Egli, sent out a memo in support of photo radar technology. The only caveat was that it be used in school zones and revenue collected through fines be put in a special account to be used for “road safety” measures.

“I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale roll-out of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,” Watson wrote in the memo. “Or for those who are concerned with the tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.”

Despite the fact that the motion – along with an amendment from Osgoode Coun. George Darouze that asks the province for the power to ticket out-of-province drivers for infractions related to photo radar – passed unanimously, debate lasted five hours.

Brockington, who doesn’t sit on the transportation committee, said he realizes the issue is a contentious one, but wants the city to start cracking down on speeding.

“It’s about a basic right to safety,” he said. “I will force this city to have a conversation about speeding and what we are going to do about it.”

Wynne said many parents worry about kids walking to school, because of the high speeds of drivers.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said Wynne’s example just highlighted the problem.

“Parents don’t want their kids walking, so they drive them, creating this self-perpetuating cycle,” he said. “We have to deal with the speeding if we are going to improve the situation.”

Many of those who spoke at the meeting felt the pilot program didn’t go far enough.

Kevin O’Donnell, from Kitchissippi Ward, said he’ll take what’s being offered if it moves the issue forward. O’Donnell said he remembers a time when he road to Montreal in the family van without a seat belt. He said we wouldn’t think

of doing that today, and he hopes to one day look back and say “remember when we used to go 70 (km per hour) in a 40 zone?”

Michael Powell, from Safe Streets Ottawa, said using photo radar isn’t re-inventing the wheel, as other jurisdictions have already used the technology.

Powell said the intersection of Booth Street and Gladstone Drive has two schools, daycares and a church. Despite this, people are going significantly above the speed limit. A speed board installed in 2012 showed that 56 per cent of drivers went over the posted limit.

Julianne Vogt, from the Ottawa Safety Council – which is responsible for staffing the city’s adult crossing guards and the heads of the walking school bus program, said crossing guards are the eyes on the city’s roadways.

“They know speed is an issue,” she said, adding the organization

has “a lot of little feet to protect.”

A staff report, presented by the manager of traffic services, said Quebec – which has photo radar across the province – has seen compliance with the posted speed limit catapult to 85 per cent from 40 where the radars are being used.

Phil Landry said it will take a year for city staff to develop a plan for the pilot project once the approvals are in place. He added it would take another two years for staff to have the metrics from the program to determine the level of success.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt expressed concern about signage and potential reallocation of police officers as a result of the technology.

“I wouldn’t want to see this take the place of officers on the roads,” Moffatt said, “because it’s about changing behaviours.”

Scott Nystedt, a superintendent with Ottawa police, said there are no plans to reduce the number of officers. He said photo radar would

simply be one tool the city could use to reduce speeds.

Douglas Kirkland, a former police officer, said that radars should be implemented across the city, not just in select wards, otherwise speeders will gravitate to the areas they know are not being monitored.

“It’s about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible,” he said.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, applauded the decision.

“I commend the City of Ottawa for taking the bold step today to help improve road safety in our community,” Naqvi stated in a press release. “Research proves that lower speed limits and increased enforcement in residential areas result in fewer pedestrian and cyclist deaths, and a safer community for everyone.”

Naqvi said in the release that he will advocate for the legislative changes necessary for the City of Ottawa to move forward on a pilot project.

“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh (A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh).

When it comes to living in the moment, which is apparently the secret to happiness, I’m crap at it.

I nostalgically live in the past one moment, and worrying look to the future the next.

Most mornings when I wake, I remember all the things I failed to accomplish yesterday toward

My husband frequently bemoans the fact that I’m already planning the next family meal, just as he’s “sitting down to enjoy this one”. According to ancient Chinese philosopher LaoTzu, “If you are depressed you are living in the past.

If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

My loyal readers know I can’t meditate. But I have discovered a way to be more present. It comes in the form of my three-yearold daughter.

She wakes up nearly every morning with the same, happy call: “I’m awake!!”

With those two words, she’s simultaneously announcing her presence to us and welcoming the day, fresh and new.

She’s not lamenting unfinished business from yesterday, nor fretting over what’s to come. So present is she that “last year” and “yesterday” mean the same thing to her – her brain has matured just enough to let her know those words mean “already happened, so let’s move onto the now.”

Family Law

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse If someone mentions an upcoming trip, she says, “well, we’re not doing that today” and she moves the conversation forward.

Once we were discussing a possible trip to visit family.

She overheard, packed a suitcase full of doll clothes and announced, “I’m ready!” When we noted that it was a trip in the future, she turned to her brothers and said grumpily, “we’re not going to Scotland today; we’re just having dinner.”

The future made her unhappy.

But the present keeps her pretty mellow.

Breakfast is frustratingly slow sometimes, a tedious process if we’re in a hurry. But for my daughter, it’s a chance to savour each bite. It doesn’t matter if it’s instant oatmeal or French crepes, she yumming and oohing over every morsel.

a 30-minute round trip, and not because she’s shuffling her feet. She wants to touch every plant, say hello to every neighbour.

Trick or treating on Halloween required gargantuan effort on my part to pry her away from the neigh-

‘When it comes to living in the moment, which is apparently the secret to happiness, I’m crap at it.’ bours’ doors: “I like your costume,” she’d say.

“And, by the way, how is your mother?”

Earlier this month, she paused to admire the field of blooming, yellow dandelions beside the rundown corner store.

“Aren’t the flowers beautiful, Mommy?” And she picks them, slowly and carefully, observing the bee on one, an ant on another.

She sees a man servicing a phone booth, and stops to observe the careful mo-

tions as he wipes graffiti from the glass, removes a coin box and polishes the phone receiver.

“He cleaned it! We can see inside now!” The man smiles.

They’ve made a connection, in the moment. And unlike me, the one who’s planning my next supper while eating this one (probably too quickly), my daughter has taken to saying grace and pausing before she eats.

Her prayer usually goes like this: “Dear God. Thank you for the nice food.

Thank you for the nice family. Please help us not to cry or fight and to sleep well. Amen. Let’s eat!” Oh, the simplicity.

Of course, all this drives her brothers nuts.

My sons, in all their pre-teen glory, no longer share the ability to “just be” like they used to. I wonder when they lost it.

When did mornings become grumpy?

When did a stroll in the park halt to satisfy their senses?

I feel nostalgic for a time when they didn’t have bad memories from yesterday or worries about tomorrow.

But perhaps they should simply spend more time with their little sister.

When I’m with my three-year-old, life inevitably slows down.

And it is truly a wonderful feeling. It’s probably as close to happiness – or as Lao-Tzu said “peace” – as one can get.

City’s finance and economic committee approves tweaking light rail plan Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Some tweaks to the second stage of the city’s light rail plan will hopefully smooth out concerns over the 1.2-kilometre western leg of the route from Dominion to Cleary Station.

Instead of tunnelling under the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, which the church members spent nearly a year fighting against, the new plan would run through a strip mall at 747 Richmond Rd. But now the property owners and the neighbours are being the squeaky wheels, citing concerns about noise and vibrations during construction.

Randy Gordon, who spoke on behalf of the residents at 727 Richmond Rd., said that it’s been hard to determine what’s happening.

Gordon said he’d like residents to be part of a working group on the project, and said there’s been a lack of consistency, which makes it difficult to determine what’s happening.

The rationale for the change is that the new station would front on to Richmond

Road, which would make it more accessible and visible for cyclists and pedestrians.

Chris Swail, the project manager of the second phase of the LRT, said measures will be in place to ensure the neighbours won’t hear the day-to-day operations of the train and that it won’t impact on their enjoyment of their own property.

Charles Davies, president of the building at 75 Cleary Avenue, asked the city to examine options for track separation to keep it as far from the building as possible. He also said he wanted the best vibration technologies in use near the building and extra oversight at rails that have tight curves near the building.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said the project will have the highest standard everywhere on the route.

Mary Flynn-Guglietti, the lawyer representing the owners of 747 Richmond Rd., said that she doesn’t know if four equals one, when it comes to expropriation.

She said the staff argument that it would be better to expropriate one property instead of the four the other route called for may not be a better deal.

She said the owner planned on developing the property to be a high density residential and commercial development.

“The people that would have been living there and using LRT are now not going to be there,” she said.

Staff proposed changes to the route around Blair Road that would save the city between $4 and $5 million. The proposal includes a new LRT track that would run in tandem with the future Cumberland Transitway, rather than three tunnels below Blair and two Highway 174 ramps.

Changes to Montreal station could save $12 million, staff said in the report to committee, by shifting the track to the median, rather than a raised track over Montreal Road and Highway 174.

The station would be just above Montreal Road.

Council will vote on the proposed changes on May 11.

If approved construction would start in 2018.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor encouraged the public to come to a June 4 consult on Richmond Road complete street connectivity study.

Turnbull School marks fundraising milestone Megan Delaire

megan.delaire@metroland.com

Nepean’s Turnbull School turns 25 next year, but this year the school is celebrating a much bigger number, with a far reaching impact.

After 19 years of fundraising, the private elementary school reached – and passed – the $1 million mark during its fall 2015 United Way campaign.

“I think we were about $15,000 short heading into our United Way campaign,” said school director Gareth Reid. “So we knew we’d break through the million sometime in the fall.”

Turnbull School staff and parents marked the milestone with an event on April 16 at Koyman Galleries, joined by representatives from several charitable organizations as well as River Ward Coun.

Riley Brockington and Turnbull School founder Mary Ann Turnbull.

Directing most of its fundraising energy toward United Way Ottawa, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation and Help Lesotho – a charitable organization working to mitigate the effects of HIV-AIDS in the southern African country Lesotho – the school hosts three major fundraising campaigns each year.

“All of those charities certainly mean a lot to us and to the Ottawa community,” Reid said. “Especially the United Way and the hospital.”

Reid estimates that, since 1996, the

school has raised $517,000 for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, $366,000 for United Way Ottawa and $100,000 for Help Lesotho through staff payroll deductions, participation in Ottawa Race Weekend, and other class fundraising activities, including bake sales. A portion of each uniform purchase for students at the private school also goes toward Help Lesotho. The remainder of the $1-million raised has come from other, less regular fundraising campaigns.

“We’ve also done some other giving over the years but we really try to focus on three, because there are so many other wonderful causes and many individual families are connected to something else,” Reid said.

“If we open it up too wide, then you’re kind of just open too wide.”

Reid said founder Mary Ann Turnbull initiated the school’s first fundraising campaign for United Way Ottawa in 1996 as a way to return the community support she received while establishing the school in the early 1990s.

In 1998 the school began fundraising for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, and in 2005 it became involved with Help Lesotho. But Reid believes there’s also a benefit for the students involved in Turnbull School’s fundraising activities.

“It’s really a way to give back and to help our students learn about giving and caring within our community, near and far, and that fundraising can be fun,” he said.

“So the kids do have a blast with it and they’re very enthusiastic philanthropists.”

Concussions bring NHL player home to Kanata Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Like so many hockey players, competing in the NHL was Darroll Powe’s dream.

Standing just 5-foot-11 and never a “first line guy” by his own admission, Powe made it to pro hockey anyway – a dream come true and born of hard work and a passion for the game.

He had a career playing for the Philadelphia Flyers, the Minnesota Wild and the New York Rangers, and some of their American Hockey League farm teams, from 2006 to 2015.

But more frequent and worsening concussions shook him awake and out of the dream.

He returned home to Kanata to settle down and work a desk job in February.

So far Powe says he doesn’t feel any fallout from the many concussions he sustained, though he notes it may be too early to tell for sure. He admits he has been lucky compared to others.

Asked whether it was worth it, he said unequivocally, “One hundred per cent. I got to live my dream for five, six years. It was an amazing time.

“Would I have done things differently? I don’t know … but I got to have a great experience and I feel OK right now and hopefully that’s the case for the rest of my life. It was an awesome time while it lasted. No complaints.”

MAKING IT

Like many Canadian kids, Powe started skating at just a few years old and soon began playing hockey.

Born in Saskatoon, Powe moved to Kanata for high school, attending Earl of March Secondary School and playing for the Kanata Valley Lasers, then the Kanata Stallions when the team was renamed.

Playing as a power forward, Powe was generally a third or fourth line guy, he said, but nurtured a dream of playing hockey in college.

Powe said he remembers attending a post-secondary hockey game with his teammates.

“That kind of sold it,” he said. “It was an amazing atmosphere and the chance to go to school and be in that atmosphere and play, that was my goal at that time.”

“I was always a good student

File

Retired NHL player Darroll Powe, right, stands with country music superstar Garth Brooks during his Teammates for Kids Foundation ProCamp in Stittsville in early April. Metroland Media caught up with Powe to discuss his hockey career and his transition to a desk job in Ottawa. so when Princeton (University) came knocking I was thrilled and it gave me an opportunity to kind of live my dream at that point,” said Powe.

“The time I got into Princeton I remember jumping up and down, high-fiving my parents. That was the biggest moment of my life at that point.”

The moment wouldn’t be topped for several years when, after gaining some attention at a tryout, he was told after a warmup that his first NHL game would be that same night.

It was Oct. 24, 2008.

“I was never on NHL radar, I don’t think ever, even coming out of university,” said Powe.

A shot at the NHL was something he hoped for but nothing he expected, until it happened.

“It was surreal,” he said. “It was in New Jersey so all the guys I had played with at school, they drove up and watched and it was pretty cool.”

Powe described himself as a player who “did what he had to do.”

“Some guys make it, they are first line guys throughout all junior and everything and some how end up on a team. I was kind of like a third line guy no matter what team I played for really. So my role was to go out and hit guys and kill some penalties and be physical.”

According to sports reports, Powe’s stats rarely reflected his value as a player who blocked shots, created shorthanded opportunities, was useful in the faceoff circle and brought energy to his team.

Asked what he thinks got him to the NHL, he says, “I think I just loved it. It never feels like work when you love something … if you don’t love it you are probably not going to do the work you need to make it happen.”

Despite his physical style of play, injuries were rarely a problem for Powe, except when it came to concussions.

Eventually it was concussions that convinced Powe is was time to leave hockey.

Though he can’t put a num-

ber on how many he has had, he says they ranged from a concussion or two in high school – which at the time he probably would have denied – to a recurring and worsening injury that kept him out of commission for months near the end of his career.

“I guess my first bad one was my third game in the NHL,” said Powe. “And it was an innocent play. It was actually my linemate who went to go hit a guy and I was kind of caught in between them and the boards and went in head first, and it wasn’t fun.”

That resulted in a couple weeks of sleeping it off, and an unnerving balancing game between resting long enough to be fully recovered and having a spot on the roster.

“Two games into my career I was excited and wanting to get back and play and prove myself and live that dream and wondering if I’m ever going to get another opportunity,” he said.

See DARROLL, page 15

Darroll Powe discusses his new life and how he’s giving back same dream he did, he said, “Whether it be working out outside the game or playing and losing, you’ve got to see value in everything in the game. Because there are lessons you can take from every game.

“And one of the things I probably didn’t do as well as I could have was just not take everything so seriously … it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun.”

Continued from page 14

“I think that’s kind of a pattern throughout my career injury-wise is with the head stuff you’re always battling how you feel … but you have to battle getting back in the lineup and protecting your job and all that too.”

Powe continued to play and continued to love the competition and camaraderie of the NHL, but the concussions kept coming.

“They dragged out longer and longer and symptoms kept getting worse as things went on, to the point where I spent half of my last season in a dark room or just frustrated with how I was feeling,” said Powe.

“So it was time.”

Then playing in the AHL for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the 2014-2015 season, Powe retired. He is now 30 years old.

Retiring

He and his young family returned to Kanata in

Powe. “So it’s a pretty cool feeling to do that.”

Facing reality

As for his concussions, Powe said injury is a reality of any physical sport,

especially at an elite level.

While the NHL and other levels of hockey continue to improve their response to it, the most pressure comes from within, he said.

The bottom line is you have to be honest with yourself

Giving back

One of his important takeaways was giving back, he said, which he sought to do frequently.

He had the opportunity to continue doing as a guest coach at Garth Brooks’s Teammates for Kids Foundation ProCamp in Stittsville in early April.

“One of the most rewarding things about playing was the fact that you could walk into a room and you know change 20 kids’ lives just by showing up and reading a book or something like that,” said

and feel ready to get back out on the ice.

“Make sure you take care of yourself first because if you don’t take care of yourself, it’s not going to work out for you on the ice anyways,” said Powe.

New funds to help refugees John McCallum likes the sound of the word “surge.”

The minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship says Canada is happy to accept more refugees from wartorn Syria.

“We’re trying to create the biggest deluge we can,” McCallum said on May 4, following the announcement of more funding to help resettlement efforts in Ottawa.

The Community Foundation Ottawa received $450,000 from the Welcome Fund for Syrian Refugees; funding announced at city hall.

“Even for a hardened economist like me, it’s been quite an emotional journey,” McCallum said of recent months that have seen about 25,000 Syrian refugees reach Canada. “I’m grateful to all Canadians.

“Everyone has done their bit.”

More than 1,100 government-assisted refugees from

Syria are now in Ottawa.

McCallum said private donations have allowed refugees to get extra help, beyond what the federal government could provide.

’Even for a hardened economist like me, it’s been quite an emotional journey.’

Minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship John McCallum

The first sizable donations to the Welcome Fund for Syrian Refugees came from Manulife, with another $5 million quickly coming from CN. The Welcome Fund will distribute the newly announced $450,000 to the Catholic Centre for Immigrants, Ottawa Community Immigrant Services, and World Skills. The funds will help with rent subsidies, health support and also to

assist refugees find work.

Ottawa Centre MP Catherine McKenna said 93 per cent of 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada are now housed. She said Canada is being recognized internationally for leading resettlement efforts, and also thanked the people of Ottawa for their efforts.

“The city has stepped up,” McKenna said.

Carl Nicholson, executive director of the Catholic Centre for Immigrants, said the incoming refugees have brought with them “excitement, challenges and opportunities.”

We have a strategy in Ottawa,” Nicholson said, adding that getting refugees into the workforce is a next step.

“A job affects how secure you feel, allows you to pay rent and succeed in integration.”

Mayor Jim Watson said a celebration at the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park is being planned for May 28 as further welcome to all the Syrian refugees in Ottawa.

Sens fans feeling mixed emotions after Guy Boucher named coach Haley Ritchie

Metro Ottawa

Sens fans have had a tough year and a tough weekend, but Sunday’s announcement that Guy Boucher will be the

new head coach is at least giving them something to talk about.

“It could have been worse,” said Shaila Anwar, co-host of the That’s What She Said show on TSN 1200.

“It’s not what we wanted, but it could have been worse.”

Many fans were disappointed on Saturday when Bruce Boudreau announced he would be the next coach for the Minnesota Wild.

Boudreau visited Ottawa last week for an interview and was considered a first choice by many. Saturday’s disappointment coupled with a quick turnaround on Sunday left fans with mixed emotions.

“I’m glad they hired someone and it wasn’t a long protracted wait, that’s good.

It remains to be seen if he is the guy who can fix the many, many problems with the Ottawa Senators,” said

Anwar.

The 44-year-old Boucher will be the franchise’s 12th head coach, replacing Dave Cameron, who was fired on April 12.

“Following a detailed evaluation of all coaching candidates, there was overwhelming consensus that Guy was our top candidate,” said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk in a press release.

Boucher has spent parts of the last three seasons as

the head coach of SC Bern of the National League A in Switzerland.

Before that, he spent twoplus seasons as the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

“I’m happy with it,” said Callum Fraser, a writer with Silver Seven Sens who was also rooting for Boudreau.

“I think there’s a lot of upsides to Boucher coming in but right now we don’t know too much about him.”

MacLeod opens up about her year of depression MPP talks about mental illness and recovery while announcing she’ll run in new Nepean riding Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

“You really don’t know how far you can go until you’ve hit rock bottom and you’ve had to climb your way to the top.”

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod shared this epiphany with a crowd of five hundred people in a speech that bore intimate confessions on May 1.

During a celebration marking her 10th year as the riding’s Progressive Conservative MPP, and long before the end of her speech, MacLeod made it clear that she privately struggled to get through some of those 10 years.

MacLeod made two revelations during the event at Cedarhill Golf Course. She told constituents that she plans to seek a fifth term as the PC party’s MPP for the area, running in the new provincial Nepean riding in 2018.

She also told supporters

Lisa MacLeod that, like one in five Canadians, she has battled mental illness. Her brand was depression, and her struggle played out from mid-2014 to late 2015, a time during which her absences at public events and question periods were noted.

Earlier in 2014, the Progressive Conservatives lost a provincial election to the Liberal Party, which won by a majority. That same year, MacLeod announced that she would run for leadership of her party, but in early 2015 she withdrew from the race.

By then depression had be-

gun to settle in, and MacLeod said she sometimes passed entire days in bed.

“My famous fire in the belly had been all but extinguished,” she said. “I felt like I was stripped down. I ached.

I did not know my path forward. I didn’t know what to do. I had no energy.”

But it was through grief that MacLeod was able to find a sense of purpose again, when, in June 2015, Rowan Stringer’s parents Gordon and Kathleen reached out to her for help.

After Rowan’s death as a result of second impact syndrome brought on by multiple concussions, the Stringers began to work with MacLeod to pass provincial concussion legislation.

That summer, MacLeod was also approached by the family of Teagan Batstone – an eight-year-old girl who was murdered in British Columbia in 2014 – to help repair gaps in Canada’s child

protective laws that Teagan’s father Gabe believed contributed to his daughter’s death.

A mother herself, working with the parents who had lost children helped put an end to MacLeod’s more than yearlong decline. Macleod’s work with the Stringers has resulted in Rowan’s Law, a bill backed by three provincial parties, which, if passed, would become Canada’s first concussion legislation.

“Rowan Stringer, Teagan Batstone and my own daughter Victoria Varner,” MacLeod said. “Through those three girls ... I have regained my sense of purpose.”

split into two separate Nepean and Carleton ridings to better reflect new federal riding boundaries, Macleod said she will be in the

race to represent the new Nepean riding.

“I will continue to stand by and stand up for the people of Carleton,” she said. “But in 2018 it’ll be the people of Nepean who I seek a fifth mandate from.”

Teen girl forced into car in south end Staff

Ottawa police are appealing for the public’s help in identifying a man wanted in connection with the sexual assault of a teenage girl.

“An unidentified male approached a female in her late teens and pulled her into his vehicle near the 2800-block of Baycrest Drive,” police said in

a statement released less than 12 hours after investigators say the attack took place on Friday, May 6, between 1 and 3 a.m.

Baycrest Drive is located in the Herongate community.

“The female was driven to multiple locations in the Johnston and Conroy Road area, where she was sexually assaulted,” the statement reads.

No further details were immediately available.

Police describe the suspect as a Middle Eastern male, between 30 and 40 years old, with a long nose.

He drove a dark coloured BMW. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the sexual assault unit at 613221-1222, ext. 5944.

‘We won’t sink’ : President of Ottawa Neighbourhood Services Nepean charity struggling to survive after eviction Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Patricia Lemieux, president of Ottawa Neighbourhood Services, is still holding out hope for a miracle, despite the eviction notice that sits on the door of the organization’s Rideau Heights Drive building.

The Nepean-based charity has been operating in the capital for more than 80 years. But declining revenues and a run of bad luck have left them owing their landlord $20,000 in back rent for the property on Rideau Heights Drive.

President Patricia Lemieux said that ONS has faced some hard times, starting with a bankruptcy in 1999 that forced

them from the building they owned on Wellington Street.

The organization moved to City Centre Avenue in 2007 and stayed until 2012, when two fires that may have been intentionally set forced them to relocate.

Lemieux said staff fought with the insurance company over the value of the stock they lost until they received $15,000 in a small claims court settlement in 2015. A few months later, they received another $8,000, but it all went to pay back rent to their then landlord.

Their new home costs $9,500 per month, Lemieux said, and it’s tough to keep up with costs.

To top it, off the build-

ing is old and it’s not near any public transportation, which limits the foot traffic to the thrift store.

Lemieux said staff lobbied the city to get a bus stop near the store, but didn’t get much traction.

Aside from the problems with the building, Lemieux said the hundreds of clothing donation boxes that have cropped up all over the city have hit them hard.

She said they are responsible for a nearly 70 per cent revenue loss.

College Ward Coun.

Rick Chiarelli has been working on a bylaw to deal with the problem. Chiarelli announced in January that he put a map of the clothing boxes that are actually affiliated with charities on his website, and encouraged residents to research where their

donations were going.

Chiarelli said that private organizations come to a property – like the parking lot of a fast food restaurant – set up a box in the middle of the night, and then sell the clothes for profit.

‘We will be gone by then.’

President of Ottawa Neighbourhood Services Patricia Lemieux

“There was supposed to be a review of the bylaw last summer, but it was deferred until 2017,” Lemieux said. “We will be gone by then.”

The charity owed $45,000 in back rent last summer, Lemieux said, which was paid by a donor. She’s even

Notice of Intention to Designate

Description of Property Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue is a one-and-one-half-storey stone house constructed between 1840 and 1850 in City View in former Nepean Township.

Cultural Heritage Value Kilmorie has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Nepean Township and with Confederation Poet William Wilfred Campbell and for its design value as an example of a 19th century vernacular stone house.

Kilmorie’s historical value lies in its association with the early development of City View in former Nepean Township. Constructed at some point between 1840 and 1850 as a farmhouse for William Scott, who emigrated from Ireland to Upper Canada in 1819 as part of a wave of Irish Protestants who settled in Nepean Township in the 19th century, Kilmorie serves as a reminder of the area’s agricultural history. Kilmorie is also associated with William Wilfred Campbell, one of the Confederation Poets, a group of poets born in the 1860s who became popular in Canada at the end of the 19th century. Campbell purchased Kilmorie in 1914 and lived there until his death in 1918.

Kilmorie has design value as an example of the vernacular stone buildings constructed in the classical tradition in the Ottawa area in the early-to-mid 19th century. Exemplifying its type, Kilmorie is constructed of limestone, has a gable roof with returned eaves and symmetrical facades.

The front facade is highlighted by a tripartite window with decorative fanlight in the central gable.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the vobjection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

zation also employs people who really need the work.

And while they only make minimum wage, they are loyal to the store.

Staff are still hopeful they can work with Chiarelli and the city to find a temporary home. In the meantime, they are reaching out to the community and asking for storage space or a warehouse.

Long-time volunteer Maria Hawkins said there’s roughly 2,700 kilograms of stock. Lemieux said they will likely need four trailers to store it.

Philanthropist Dave Smith sits on the board, and Lemieux hopes to get advice from him.

Volunteers will host a sale to raise funds at the 10 Rideau Heights Dr. on May 6 and 7, starting at 10 a.m.

Leitrim Development Area Updated Serviceability Report Class EA OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b Open House

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT The City of Ottawa on May 11, 2016 established its intention to designate Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

paid some expenses herself, and her father paid April’s rent.

But they’re running out of options.

Lemieux said they’ve appealed to the city and the Community Foundation of Ottawa for a grant, but they were denied.

Lemieux said she was told there are other organizations better suited to do the work ONS does.

But the thrift store’s stock has found its way to dozens of organizations, including the Ottawa Mission, City of Ottawa placement services, Ottawa Housing Corporation, Hampers for Syria, St. Vincent de Paul, Vanier Community Service Centre, Refugee613, the Ottawa Hospital and the Ottawa fire department – to name a few.

By attending this meeting, residents will find out more about the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process and updated serviceability for the Leitrim Development Area.

In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment Number 76 (OPA 76), the City of Ottawa increased its urban envelope and part of that expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b (87.2 hectares) were added to the LDA as per Planning Committee Report Number 33 (dated June 27, 2012).

The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the EA process. The Updated Serviceability Report is prepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing that integrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA. To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open house will address: • • •

The addition of the 87.2 hectares of developable area to the analysis contained in the 2007 Final Serviceability Report, including a review of the impacts of the OPA 76 expansion lands on existing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements to service the expansion lands Recommendations on the overall LDA infrastructure system, including upgrades required to meet the City of Ottawa’s level of service requirements for build-out of future development within the LDA

By participating at this meeting, you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

Information on the Updated Serviceability Report for the LDA is available on ottawa.ca/publicconsultations.

Residents are encouraged to provide comments throughout the EA process. All comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please email joseph.zagorski@ottawa.ca no later than May 20.

Kanata Residents Take Top Two Spots in National writing contest The 29th Annual National Capital Writing Contest awards night was held the evening of May 9 in the auditorium of the Ottawa Public Library’s central branch on Metcalfe Street.

In the short story category, the top two spots went to Kanata residents Lynn Jatania and Tony Bove.

Jatania’s short story, What the Chipmunk Is Thinking took the first place spot. Judge Matthew Bin of Oakville, Ont. called it “a truly well-told tale of three characters in three different lonely situations.

The author engages with these characters with empathy and humour, without straying into cloying sentimentality. The result is a story that is not easy, but is immensely satisfying.”

Bove’s short story, The Step-Mother’s Story: We Never Called Her Cinderella, was described as a fairy tale retelling that is not for children or the faint of heart.

Third place went to Adri-

enne Stevenson for Leveller.

Honourable Mentions went to Josephine Bolechala of Barry’s Bay, Ont. for Mask Island, to Adam Heenan of Ottawa for Benny and Margot Forever, and to Arlene Somerton Smith of Nepean for A Stone in the Temple.

In the poetry division, first place went to Carp resident Gill Foss for Green Shift, second place went to Sylvia Adams of Ottawa with High School Reunion, and third place went to Helen Gamble of Perth for Feeding the Flowers.

Honourable mentions went to Lee Ann Eckhardt Smith, from Richmond, Ont., for Christmas Baking, and Gerry Mooney from Nepean garnered two honourable mentions for A Piece of Scotch Plaid and Preparing for Winter.

The National Capital Writing Contest was open to residents of Ontario and Quebec. “According to the judges, the competition was fierce this

year,” said Sherrill Wark, contest coordinator. “Making it into the top six is an accomplishment.”

The writing contest is sponsored by the Canadian Authors Association-National Capital Region Branch.

Founded in 1921, the Canadian Authors Association has played a key role in the support and development of the Canadian writing community.

It is a national organization with a local presence dedicated to promoting a flourishing community of writers across Canada and to encouraging works of literary and artistic merit.

This is done by providing information and support to writers providing opportunities for professional development promoting the fair and equitable treatment of writers working in partnership with other relevant organizations increasing public awareness of Canada’s writing and publishing environment.

Those yellow immunization cards could be a thing of the past as a local doctor works on expanding a mobile app so parents and guardians can keep better track of their child’s vaccinations.

Dr. Kumanan Wilson, a senior scientist and internal medicine specialist at Ottawa Hospital and a professor at the University of Ottawa, and his team have received $3.5 million over three years from the federal government to further develop ImmunizeCA, the mobile app.

It was first launched in 2014, but the new funding will help create a larger digital platform, including a webbased platform with login from personal computers, secure sharing of information between family members, the ability to integrate with provincial records, customized schedules and information for patients with health concerns and catch-up schedules for new Canadians.

“We are going to be making it for everyone, everywhere,” Wilson said.

That includes making the platform accessible for all and having the information backed up, so it can be available to multiple users. “It’s no longer just an app; it’s an app integrated into the system.”

Since the app’s launch, it has been downloaded more than 140,000 times. The goal at this time is to have 500,000 family accounts.

The idea first came out of a conversation Wilson had with a mother in a park.

She wondered why — when she can do all of her banking online — she couldn’t also have a yellow card for her child on her smartphone.

“If you have two or three kids and you have two or three cards for each kid then it starts becoming difficult,” Wilson said.

The idea grew from there, initially with an Ontario pilot project, and then it grew to a

“Our ultimate goal is also to integrate this into the health system, through consent-based secure transmission from the app to public health officials and also to allow public health officials to communicate back through the app,” Wilson said.

Public health could let parents know about outbreaks, adverse reactions to vaccinations or changes to immunization schedules, for example.

A pilot project has begun locally where information from the app, with the user’s consent, flows to public health.

“We are learning a lot through the process about enhancements and changes we need to make to get that data more accurate for public health.”

Having more accurate data would help scientists and researchers better report Ottawa’s immunization rates.

Wilson said Ottawa’s rates appear low, because information isn’t curated in one place and relies on self-reporting.

“We need better information,” Wilson said. “If you look at the official data, it looks like the rates are terrible. Obviously they are not because we are not seeing these disease outbreaks. I think they are high enough to maintain herd immunity, but we don’t know.”

He will also be doing research on how and if app and online portal impact the system. “Our goal was always to develop something to help individuals, but in the process we realized we can also help the system.”

Residents were up in arms over the planned closure of a portion of Johnwoods Street at a public meeting on May 4.

The city plans to close Johnwoods Street between Rosehill Avenue and Maple Grove Road, to convert it into a park and pedestrian pathway after future construction is done to build Rosehill Avenue and Maple Grove Road.

A large portion of the outrage expressed at the meeting had to do with a lack of public consultation.

Several residents had emails from city planners in past years that indicated that Johnwoods Street closing was still proposed, and there would be “extensive public consultation” before it would officially be done.

Planner David Wise acknowledged sending an email to a resident in attendance that said Johnwoods wouldn’t be closed without public consultation. The notice that went out to residents about the information session also called it a “proposed conversion.”

The closure of Johnwoods Street was actually approved by the city in November 2013 through a subdivision approval for Mattamy Homes. The approval had a condition that there needed to be a public information session.

Alon Street resident Charlene Mcenery drew cheers and applause from many of the 125 people in attendance for her comments throughout the meeting.

“We feel very mislead because you receive something in the mail from (Coun.

Shad Qadri) last week saying there’s a proposed closure, then we gather up our kids, we get babysitters, we do whatever we have to do to come here and speak, and then we get here and speak and hear it’s not proposed,” she said. “It’s going to happen.”

subdivision plan that would stop the conversation of Johnwoods Street.

It would be likely to meet backlash from some residents, though. Those who purchased homes backing onto the portion of Johnwoods Street that is planned to be converted paid Mattamy a premium to have the park and trail in their backyard.

“I’ve said yes, I would do that,” Qadri said. “Yes, I’m willing to put that amendment forward, but that does not mean (the plans for Johnwoods Street) will change.”

John Brummell/Metroland

The city has plans to close a portion of Johnwoods Street to turn it into a linear park. said the planning rationale behind the closure is due to new roads in the area downgrading the importance of Johnwoods Street.

She said through the Kanata West Concept Plan, the street was intended to be downgraded to be a more local, quieter street.

“Planning staff saw it as an opportunity to do something unique for Johnwoods Street,” Rygus said. “We felt this was something that would provide a community benefit.”

When the city approves subdivision plans, they can put clauses in the approvals – including getting the developer to pay for certain things. In this case, the approval said Mattamy would

have to pay to convert Johnwoods Street into the park city planners had come up with.

There had also been complaints that Johnwoods Street was one of the areas in the community that needed traffic calming to deal with speeding drivers.

Rygus said there was information about the application in the Stittsville News in 2013.

There were concerns that traffic from Johnwoods Street will reroute to other neighbourhood streets, such as Alon Street. Because there are no houses that front on to the portion of Johnwoods Street, it should be the perfect place for cars and traffic, residents said.

“They’re going to go rooting down my street while there are probably 125 children under the age of 12,” Mcenery said.

Robert Vastag from Stantec, one of the several people who presented at the meeting, said most traffic will divert onto Rosehill Avenue, which is designed as a collector road. He said it is designed to be able to accommodate 1,200 to 1,600 vehicles per hour, and is currently projected to carry 450 vehicles.

He expects the Johnwoods Street closing to add 50 vehicles per hour.

He faced a number of questions from residents, who voiced concerns about traffic from Johnwoods

Italian Week looking to attract younger generation this year Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

Organizers of Italian Week this year are hoping to attract a younger generation of attendees with a more vibrant and exciting lineup of events and entertainment.

The 42nd annual event, taking place June 9 to 19, is incorporating the traditional appeal of the festival with some modern flare, said the event’s president Tony Mariani.

“We want to get the second, third and fourth generations to come,” Mariani said.

“We have to do something to attract them.”

So organizers have invited Louis Prima Jr., son of Las Vegas performer Louis Prima, and his band to perform on June 17 and 18, as well as DJ Tatiana, an electronic dance DJ from Denver, Colo.

“It’s not oom pah pah, it’s dance music,” Mariani said of the entertainment lineup for this year’s event in June.

That will help create a street and dance festival atmosphere along Preston Street, said Mariani.

The theme of the festival this year is “being Italian.”

Last year, organizers surveyed those attending the festival to find out why they

were taking part in the festivities. The top four reasons were tradition, the food and patio atmosphere, car parade and seeing friends.

Mariani said that was kept in mind when revamping the festival for this year.

We want to get the second, third and fourth generations to come.

Italian Week president Tony Mariani

Italian Week starts June 9 with a flag-raising ceremony at city hall and a reception.

The event kicks off on Preston Street on June 10 with a launch party gala and dance party at Sala San Marco, at 215 Preston St. The same night, Frank Spadone, a Toronto-based comedian, takes the stage at Absolute Comedy.

Chef David Rocco, who is the creator of David Rocco’s Dolce Vita, a TV series featuring Italian cuisine, will be in the city for Italian Week to host an exclusive menu of food and wine pairings on June 16 at Divino Wine Studio.

There will be a soccer tournament June 11 and June 12,

and an outdoor mass at St. Anthony’s Church on June 12.

Three PaintNite events, June 13, 14, and 15, will be held at DiVino Wine Studio, Heart and Crown and Caffè La Grotta.

For the grand finale weekend, June 17-19, Preston Street will be closed from Pamilla Street to Poplar Street for Italian Week favourites – the Ferrari Festival and the Italian car parade. There will also be children’s attractions, movies, Father’s Day activities, music, food and more.

College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli was at the lineup announcement on May 4 to wish the festival luck in its new approach.

“Preston Street is already a popular spot in Ottawa, but during the festival it will be even more dynamic with activities, entertainment, more food and sounds of Italian music,” Chiarelli said.

“Italian Week is one of those annual events in the city that nobody wants to miss.”

Mariani said the festival attracts between 100,000 and 150,000 people each year.

“They wanted something new and vibrant, so we are bringing something more alive, more with it,” Mariani said of this year’s festival.

“I’m very excited,” he said.

“This is my passion, this is my love.”

Italian Week is still looking for volunteers and information can be found online.

Jordanna Marchand, the Ottawa Mission’s Coordinator of Mental Health Services said two new partnerships should help fill the gaps in the men’s shelter mental health services.

Mental health a priority for the Ottawa Mission Michelle Nash Baker

A downtown men’s shelter is on a mission to fill the gaps in their clients’ health care needs.

The Ottawa Mission announced it is now working with the Canadian Mental Health Association to enhance the mental health services at the shelter. The partnership will add a full-time outreach worker who specializes in engaging and connecting with transient clients, such as those who frequent shelters.

Jordanna Marchand, the Ottawa Mission’s coordinator of mental health services, said partnering with the Canadian Mental Health Association is an obvious thing to do.

“They are the experts,” Marchand said. “They have the skills and knowledge to help.”

In addition to adding an outreach worker, the Mission has also partnered with the

s ’ n o s Ja Landscaping

Royal Ottawa Hospital which will offer the services of a part-time psychiatric nurse to the Mission’s mental health team.

“We strive to help shelter residents navigate through whatever crisis they are in and to help them feel valued, respected and understood throughout the process,” Marchand said.

Marchand explained the need is great, with an existing wait list to see a psychiatrist who visits twice a month.

Adding the nurse being made available by the Royal will help more clients navigate to the services they need, she said.

“Shelter life is very difficult,” Marchand said. “They don’t necessarily have access to the same mental health services you or I have and access is really important to getting the help you need.”

Marchand said she believes that these two partnerships – and in turn the services they provide – will enable the Mis-

sion to connect with more individuals and help them.

“Different people respond to different approaches,” she said, adding that both the outreach worker and the nurse expands the Mission’s ability to make more clients feel comfortable and reach out for the help they need.

STRIVING FOR BETTER

The Mission has been making mental health a priority, with Marchand and a fellow co-worker being certified to teach mental health first aid to the Mission’s frontline staff. The certification, offered through the Mental Health Commission of Canada, helps individuals recognize if someone is struggling with a mental health crisis. According to Marchand, the program provides people the skills and knowledge to help those with a potential or developing mental health problem.

“It’s all about providing better services for our clients,” she said. “You learn that there are a lot of signs that maybe you wouldn’t know were a sign related to mental health. We want to make sure they are not falling through the cracks.”

The Ottawa Misison first opened more than 100 years ago, offering food, clothing and shelter to homeless men or men facing difficult times.

Since it first opened its doors in 1906, the shelter has expanded to currently having 235 beds, including 21 beds for palliative care and 36 beds for addiction treatment programs.

Funding to our health care system will increase by over $1 billion this year.

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means: • 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

Bologna a special treat whenever we visited Briscoe’s

B

riscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County.

If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store.

Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept.

And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds.

It was a big fat roll of bologna ... of course, we simply called it balony back then.

I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.

Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony, too.”

He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper.

It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it right on the spot.

And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise.

MARY COOK Memories Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices.

He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony.

‘I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.’

The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the world.

Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug.

Now, I hated humbugs with a passion. They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages.

No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been

given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home ... without Mother seeing of course.

Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug.

I decided then and there I would do something that demanded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all.

“Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday school voice.

“Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?” He dropped the candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me.

Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine.

Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm.

Lisa Quesnel, a single mother of three, said she sometimes has to miss work because she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to buy a bus pass until her next paycheque.

She said that when her kids were younger, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sometimes walk 35 minutes to pick them up to save money on bus fare. Quesnel added that it can be a selfperpetuating cycle, because she would miss work because she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a bus pass and then sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have less money on her next cheque.

And there was nowhere to turn. Even though she was receiving top-up from Ontario Works, as long as she was working it was her responsibility to get a bus pass, she said.

Quesnelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unique. A city staff report on a low-income bus pass suggests there are about 8,800

transit users who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for the discounted community pass or seniors pass.

A full price adult bus pass is $103.75 per month; a lot of money if you make minimum wage and only get 25 to 30 hours of work per week, like Quesnel.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit commission will vote on two options on May 9, one that would offer a low-income bus pass at the same rate as that of a student. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly a 24 per cent price break on an adult pass and would cost the city $1.4 million, according to the report.

The other option would be to be to offer a 62 per cent price break. That would bring the price down to $58.

It would cost $3.3 million, according to the report.

More than 40 social service agencies, including the Healthy Transportation Coalition and Making Voices Count, have expressed support for the initiative.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? said Trevor HachĂŠ, from the Healthy Transportation Coalition.

HachĂŠ said if the city wants to encourage the public to use transit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as it suggests in the 2013 transportation master plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have to work on making access equitable.

While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a lot of work to be done â&#x20AC;&#x201C; namely eliminating the top-up for users who have a community pass and ride Para Transpo, HachĂŠ said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good start.

Commission chair Coun.

Stephen Blais said during the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget meeting that eliminating the topup is a priority.

HachĂŠ said the coalition has put together a petition, which had 2,200 signatures in the week before commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting.

The petition can be found at http://healthytransportationcoalition.nationbuilder. com/transit_pass_petition.

Ontario expands free dental care for eligible children and youth Newly Integrated Dental Program Makes It Easier to Access Services Submitted

More than 323,000 children from low-income families are getting free dental care through the new Healthy Smiles Ontario program. Under the expanded program, Ontario is providing free dental

care to help families raise healthier kids. Children from low-income families can access free preventive, routine, emergency and essential care from licensed dental providers.

Ontario has integrated six publicly funded dental programs into one, provid-

ing a simplified enrolment process and making it easier for eligible children to get the care they need.

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 capac-

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

I run a small business and I have several small contracts that I am currently in the process of negotiating. Are these worth bringing to a lawyer for review?

A lawyer can meet with you for a short consultation in order to review your contractual document and answer any questions you might have. By communicating to the lawyer your expectations of the proposed contract, a lawyer can work with you to achieve your goals as well as highlight and help you understand risks and liabilities that you or your business may be taking on as part of the contract.

Contracts often contain important clauses relating to the limitation of liability, indemnification, and the waiver of important legal rights. Such clauses can have legal and financial implications for you or your business down the road. Understanding these implications is crucial and one of the services a lawyer can provide.

If you have some questions about a contract and feel you may benefit from meeting with a lawyer call and ask to set up a meeting.

Mental health wait times to go under the knife at CHEO, Royal New model puts patients at the heart of care decision making: director Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The roll-out of a new blueprint for change, now underway at CHEO, is designed to whittle the time children and youth spend languishing on a wait list for mental-health care in Ottawa from several months down to one.

Staff training in the delivery of a new service model of care, known as the Choice and Partnership Approach or CAPA, was one of the first major steps implemented at the children’s hospital earlier this year.

Next up was a wait list blitz in February that allowed staff

to identify which of the 340 kids sitting on a wait list after being referred to CHEO’s centralized referral intake system still needed care.

“That’s why the line keeps growing because no one is assessing what the family and the child actually needs and then streamlining them to where they need to go,” said Kathleen Pajer, chief of psychiatry at CHEO. CAPA is changing that.

Under the model, which originated in the United Kingdom and is now in use across Nova Scotia, patient needs are better identified and matched with the right outpatient service. Before the blitz, kids were waiting nine months to a year for their first outpatient appointment.

Over the next three years, the goal is for patients to wait no longer than four weeks for a choice appointment, during which they work with a clinician to

problem-solve the issue impacting them most rather than focus on the diagnosis and spend hours being formally assessed.

Perhaps a prescribed medication could be tweaked, a community agency could be suggested, maybe parenting courses would also help, and, based on the child’s need, another type of medical specialist at CHEO could be recommended for a few sessions.

It’s designed to give patients and families more of a say, develop goals and help design the right course of action through a multifaceted tailored approach.

“Their engagement is critical in this,” Pajer said of the new collaborative partnership.

“It puts them at the heart of what we’re doing for them rather than us dictating to them what they need,” said Christine Slepanki, the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s director of patient care for the Youth Psychiatry Program and the adult Mood and Anxiety Program.

Faced with a growing wait list over the past few years, the Royal fully rolled out CAPA in late March in its program for teens ages 15-and-a-half to 18.

Previously, a referred patient would wait for an appointment with a psychiatrist during which the patient would be assessed and services suggested.

Alex Munter, CHEO’s president, left, and George Weber, president of the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, look on last fall as Dr. Kathleen Pajer, CHEO’s chief of psychiatry, discusses mental-health care needs among young patients in the region. Both hospitals are adopting a new system of care to improve patient access and reduce wait times. were between 80 to 100 teens facing a wait of three to five months for an assessment appointment.

Similar to CHEO, Royal patients under the CAPA model are now being seen by a clinician and asked what issues they want to work on.

“It’s a very strength-based, recovery-focused model,” Slepanki said.

“Rather than coming in to see an expert who’s going to tell you what you need, it’s more like you come in and tell us what you need and we will facilitate you to meet your goals.”

The Royal has a similar goal of reducing the wait for a first appointment to no more than four weeks.

Patients will see a psychiatrist and be offered various services, such as individual or group therapy.

A key component to CAPA is mapping out the available mental health-care services and matching them to the right patients based on their needs in order to provide more individualized and responsive care.

“That’s the brilliance of CAPA,” Pajer said. “That means we’re agile, we’re an

agile mental health-care system.

If together during the choice appointment patients and their families decide upon treatment at CHEO or the Royal the goal is for them to wait no longer than four weeks for the next more indepth appointment, known as a partnership appointment.

That’s when the treatment approach begins in earnest.

The Royal isn’t stopping with its Youth Psychiatry Program.

Quality Leaves No Regrets

Wait list times could shrink Continued from page 41

The hospital also recently began putting CAPA to work in its adult mental-health outpatient service in the mood and anxiety disorders program, where a range of conditions such as long-term depression and bipolar disorder are treated. The hospital just started wading through its adult wait list, which currently has more than 500 people. The goal is to provide them with choice appointments to best determine their goals and needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get almost 80 to 100 referrals a month,â&#x20AC;? Slepanki said, adding the average wait time for an initial appointment is eight months to a year â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is not OK.â&#x20AC;?

The goal is to shrink wait times for initial appointments to no more than four weeks, similar to CHEO. Imagine the progress a systemwide CAPA strategy could have in improving the health of patients and the greater population, one in which health-care providers across the region use the same choice and partnership approach to improve access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be revolutionary,â&#x20AC;? said Pajer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have families all the time who, when we first talk to them, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on five waiting lists (in the region) just trying to get help.

On Wednesday, May 4th, 2016, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courageous battle with cancer came to a peaceful conclusion in the Carleton Place Hospital. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Alice Turton, children, Jim (Bonnie) and Colleen Wasylko (Warren), and his grand children, Katie and Megan, Allix, Jillian and Rhett.

Bob was born in Winnipeg and attended Daniel McIntyre High School where he discovered his love of football and coaching. He enjoyed a 35 year career with the Manitoba Telephone System, retiring in 1994. Bob enjoyed coaching at many levels, especially senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and minor hockey, football, girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; softball. Our family enjoyed camping and summer holidays at the cottage in Sandy Hook. In an effort to stay fit, Mom and Dad trained for and completed marathons and triathlons. In his retirement years, Bob enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a gifted woodworker; he enjoyed model railroading and attending Carleton Place Canadians games.

He cherished the many friends he made over the course of his career, involvement in sports as an athlete and coach, and his hobbies.

A memorial service was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Monday, May 9, 2016 at Alan R. Barker Funeral Home 19 McArthur Avenue, Carleton Place. Thank you to all for your kind words, your thoughts, and your prayers.

Olympic equestrian hopefuls to compete in Ottawa Dressage Festival Competition to include high-calibre national and international riders Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

It takes place on a longweekend, it promises horses and dogs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free to attend.

And this year, the Ottawa Dressage Festival will feature some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top dressage riders as they compete to represent Canada at the 2016 Olympic Games.

Dressage is an equestrian sport that puts horses and riders through their paces as they perform a series of

dance-like movements testing the riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control of the horse before a panel of judges. It became an Olympic sport in 1912.

This year, the annual festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judges will come from across Canada, Great Britain and Germany to judge riders from Canada, the United States and Central America at Wesley Clover Parks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; formerly the national capital equestrian park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on Corkstown Road from May 19 to 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole show atmosphere I find really exciting,â&#x20AC;? said long-time organizer Paul Teeple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more exciting this year when all those people are

here.â&#x20AC;?

As well as a chance to earn qualifying scores for the Summer Games, competitors can potentially qualify for other international and national dressage championships. In total, 150 riders are expected to compete over four days.

Teeple has managed the show since National Capital Dressage was founded in 2003 to organize it, although he said high-level dressage competitions have been synonymous with the Nepean venue for decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that level of show there, either a high level national one or an international one, for at least

Â&#x2C6; Â&#x2030; Â&#x2C6; Â&#x201E; Â&#x160; Â?Â&#x2039; Â&#x160;

25 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A long time.â&#x20AC;?

On average, Teeple said, the festival attracts between 300 and 500 people per day, though some individual events, like the May 19 Grand Prix Olympic qualifier, can attract those numbers alone.

Since this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival is the second-last â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the largest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Olympic qualifying competition in eastern Ontario, Teeple said that its grand prix event will likely decide which two Canadian riders will go to the Olympics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadian (riders) are all bunched up at the top,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The top six are so close in scores that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be decided probably at this show.â&#x20AC;?

Teeple said that even if the deciding test takes place at the June 17 festival in Cedar Valley, Ont. itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very likely that the riders who represent Canada in Brazil will have competed in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody at this show

is going to the Olympics,â&#x20AC;? he said, listing Olympic veterans Belinda Trussell, Jacqueline Brooks, Brittany Fraser and Ashley Holzer, and 2015 Pan Am athletes Chris Von Martels and Megan Lane as the riders to watch.

With dressage events spread out over four days, festival organizers also plan to entertain crowds with dog agility demonstrations and equestrian equipment and apparel vendors.

According to Teeple, the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team of 60 Ottawaarea volunteers are the key to helping it all run smoothly, and retired RCMP superintendent George Kaine is at the head of that team.

Having learned horseback riding as part of his basic training, Kaine, 73, credits his love of riding, his interest in volunteer work, and his friendship with Teeple for drawing him to National Capital Dressage in 2003. He has been a volunteer ever since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul and I are friends

and we ride together and I just sort of fell into it,â&#x20AC;? said Kaine, who lives in OrlĂŠans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy volunteering, so this was another volunteer activity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only once a year and I like horses and enjoy seeing the performances.â&#x20AC;?

Kaine manages volunteers of diverse ages and backgrounds who, among other things, provide stable security for international horses, record judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; observations about riders, and run results from the ring to the show office where they are read by an announcer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come from all walks of life,â&#x20AC;? Kaine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are kids from high school that need volunteer hours, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got professional people who work fulltime jobs who just take time off from work to come help us, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very grateful for their assistance in coming out.â&#x20AC;?

Ride for Her to raise funds for cancer research May 14 Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

Get ready to ride.

The third annual Motorcycle Ride for Her event to benefit Ovarian Cancer Canada is gearing up to take place on Saturday, May 28.

More than 150 motorcyclists are expected to attend.

The three-hour motorcycle ride takes off from Moncion’s Independent Grocer (671 River Rd.) at 9 a.m. on Saturday, heads up the seaway to finish at the Manotick Legion (5050 Ann St.). It’s a route that is good for every rider, said Cheryl Ozen, event organizer.

“It’s such a beautiful ride,” she said.

Registration for the event begins at 8 a.m. at Moncion’s and is $30 per rider. This fee includes a continental breakfast and a barbecue lunch as well as access to the ride.

Afterwards, during the

barbecue, Ride for Her will also host a silent auction and a raffle.

The raffle will include a new barbecue, provided by Moncion’s, and a handcrafted, 3-foot wooden cooler that Ozen said is perfect for backyard parties.

While participation in the ride itself is encouraged for as many riders as possible, Ozen said that families, friends and residents are welcome to join the barbecue and auctions for a $10 donation. Raffle tickets can also be purchase for $10 for one or $20 for three.

Last year, both the Snowmobile Style Ride for Her and the Motorcycle Ride for Her raised a total of $4,800 for Ovarian Cancer Canada. This year, Ozen said that she is hoping to crack the $6,000 mark.

With more than $2,200 raised at the winter event earlier this year, she said they are well on track to do that.

“It gets bigger every year,” she

said of the event. The motorcycle ride saw 38 participants in its first year and 70 last year. This year Ozen said she believes there will be around 150 riders.

Third Ottawa teacher charged with sex crime Staff

Police have charged a third Ottawa teacher in less than two months with sexually assaulting a student.

Timothy Stanutz, 56, was charged with sexual assault and sexual exploitation on May 6 following an investigation into allegations that he inappropriately touched one of his students.

Police allege the incidents occurred while Stanutz was employed by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

Officers continue to investigate and are concerned that there may be more alleged victims.

“The Ottawa Police will respect a victim’s wishes to pursue or not pursue the matter before the courts,” said Staff Sgt. Angela McDade.

“The reporting of these incidents by victims to police is key for investigators to identify suspects and determine crime trends.”

Stanutz appeared in court on May 6.

Police ask anyone with information to contact the Ottawa Police Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit at 613236-1222, ext. 5944.

Residents can take advantage of clean water grant program City will allow applications for repair, replacement of septic systems

There were 57 projects approved in 2015 – for a total of $185,000 in city money and $188,000 from landowners. Robinson said 37

The city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee heard that rural residents will once again be able to take advantage of the rural clean water grant program for repairs and renovations to their septic systems.

The program – which doles out $200,000 in grants for projects that protect surface water and groundwater quality – had stopped allowing septic projects in 2011.

Julia Robinson, from the city’s environmental services department, said it was taken out because the program became overburdened with requests.

It’s inclusion will have a cap of $20,000 to allow for a mix of projects, she said.

The septic grants are maxed at $1,000 or a 50 per cent work share if it’s under $1,000, Robinson said.

West Carleton Coun. Eli ElChantiry asked if residents had been made aware of the addition.

“Many people were upset when it was removed and would like to take advantage of it,” he said. “I would like to see rural affairs promote this.”

A rejig of the program last year also included the approval to use the surplus from previous to fund additional projects.

Residents can apply as long as they live in any rural property in Ottawa.

They have to have the grant approved before they start work.

Robinson said there were 52 applications this year, for a total of

Need a wake-up call? How about room service? Want to know how to get to the pool?

For guests staying in a number of San Francisco and Chicago hotels, those services and more are available right at their fingertips thanks to Canadian-devel-

oped tablet technology.

An Ottawa company has become an instrumental innovator for some of America’s largest hotels by developing and providing inroom tablets, giving guests access to a full array of services.

“It literally changes the way they (hotels) do business,” said Barry Bris-

co, chief operating officer and a founding partner of the Hotel Communication Network, located on 2460 Lancaster Rd. near the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

The success of the company, which launched in 2009, can, in part, be credited to a $525,000 loan it has been receiving from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario or FedDev Ontario.

Standing room only at Holocaust commemoration Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

It was standing room only as Robbie Waisman told his story about living in Buchenwald, a concentration camp in Germany, when he was only 11.

With ambassadors and other survivors in the crowd you could have heard a pin drop as Waisman told the group about life before the Holocaust, during and after.

He was the keynote speaker at the Jewish Community’s annual Holocaust Commemoration at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on May 3.

“Imagine being a 14-yearold boy. Imagine having been in hell and back,” Waisman said to open his address.

“Being hungry, starved, emotionally exhausted, physically weakened and deprived of every human emotion. Being so brutalized and dehumanized that you begin to believe you are no longer human and in spite of it all, never lost hope of being reunited with family.”

Waisman was born in Skarszysko, Poland, about two hours south of Warsaw, in 1931. He was the youngest of six – with four brothers and one sister. Only he and his sister survived the Holocaust.

“There was no place for thoughts and feelings, we existed for the moment and every effort was made to survive,” he said, not realizing the home he longed for was no more and the family he loved “had been brutally murdered.”

Of his memories, Waisman said some are good, others horrific.

Waisman was the youngest

Melissa Murray/Metroland

Holocaust survivor Robbie Waisman, who was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp at age 11, shares his story with a packed room at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on May 3. of his brothers and sister. “It was wonderful. I was spoiled and very much loved – I took advantage of it,” he said to soft chuckles throughout the room.

He remembers the joys of Fridays and wishing he were older to join his siblings in their adventures.

“Those impressions are profound and everlasting.”

Waisman confessed to the crowd he had a crush on his brother’s girlfriend.

“I was eight years old and in love with her,” he said to laughs.

Then in 1939, when the war broke out, everything changed drastically.

Waisman went from a ghetto to a munitions factory with his father and two older brothers. One brother contracted typhoid fever and could no longer work. He was loaded onto a truck by Nazi soldiers.

“Our eyes met,” Waisman

said, adding he moved to run to his brother, but someone held him back. “Never will I forget the love and tenderness I felt for my brother at that particular moment.

“He knew as our eyes met that I shouldn’t be with him.

It meant certain death and he knew it.”

Waisman said he will never forget the crackling sound of machine gun fire or his feeling of devastation as he watched the truck return empty.

In the munitions factory, his father worked the opposite 12-hour shift and Waisman would see him in passing and spend time with him on Sundays – the only day they did not work.

“After my brother’s death, that first Sunday I looked at my dad and I noticed a broken man, completely dejected, the change was so drastic.

I could not believe my eyes,” he said.

“The strength that was always there was gone.”

Waisman later learned his father knew his mother was killed in the gas chamber at the Treblinka concentration camp, located in Poland.

A few days later, Waisman didn’t see his

father between shifts.

“I often wondered how he died. Did he run up to the electric fence like so many did who could no longer tolerate the pain of it all? Was he simply shot when he didn’t walk fast enough or did he die of a broken heart?” he said softly.

“My father believed in humanity – how devastated all this must have been to him.”

He considers April 11, the day the camp was liberated, his birthday.

“I had never seen a black man before. I had been tormented by white men, so I was positive they were angels,” Waisman said of his liberators. At the time the camp was liberated, the enormity of the Holocaust wasn’t known.

Waisman kept his story a secret for more than 35 years, but when teachers started telling their students the Holocaust never happened, he knew he had to share his story. Since then, he’s spoken to thousands of people about his personal experience.

After the Holocaust, Wa-

isman said, leaders and citizens pledged it would “never happen again.”

“Only if we act upon them, only then do these words become meaningful.

Seventy-one years after my liberation the promise of never again, became again and again,” he said.

“There are a number of situations that have tested the world’s resolve in Cambodia and the former Yugoslavia, in Rwanda and Darfur – so many places still all over the world that people continue to be victims of genocide.”

But when he speaks at schools he sees hope. “I’m sure you already know so much about the horrors of the Holocaust and other genocides. What can I add to your knowledge?

“I learned a child can grow old overnight. That warm memories of a successful early life can sustain you and that staying silent after deep wounds internalizes the injury and then it feels better to share the pain with others,” Waisman said.

Hotel Communication Network attracting attention of major U.S. hotels Continued from page 64

The funds, which began rolling out in April 2014, have aided in the creation of 20 full-time jobs, have helped maintain 16 jobs, and have allowed the company to raise more capital to the tune of more than $4 million from other Canadian investors since 2014.

“That comes from the success of this project and the confidence that comes from government support,” said Brisco.

Providing companies with financial assistance also allows them to better access global markets, said Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, who announced the funding on May 5 on behalf of Navdeep Bains, minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and minister responsible for FedDev Ontario.

Bains previously said he

wants Canada to become “a nation of innovation,” McGuinty said.

“We know that innovation is what helps create good quality jobs, a stronger economy for all Canadians and prosperity for Canadian families.”

The dollars have allowed the company to hire enough staff to grow its hotel tablet network project.

The company’s tablets are now installed in a number of large hotels, including the 1,650-room Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, the 1,900room Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel and the 1,500-room San Francisco Marriott Marquis.

Another 6,000 tablets are in transit and will soon be installed in more hotels.

“We will literally double our install base in the next three months and we’ll double again in the next six months,” said Brisco.

While there are two or three other companies in the world that also offer hotel tablet technology, the Hotel Communication Network has the advantage because it provides around-the-clock maintenance, said Brisco, adding company employees work on site in client hotels and Ottawa staff have the ability to serve and update the devices remotely.

Each hotel room equipped with the tablets means guests have everything at their fingertips.

The advantage for hotels is they don’t have to spend money publishing print materials for each room.

The tablets also provide up-to-the-minute information on a wide array of services within the hotel and in the city, and the tablets can be updated to reflect new

CAT OF THE WEEK GORGEOUS “LUKE”

Barry Brisco, president of the Hotel Communication Network, with a tablet the company has programmed that is now offered in every room at several large-scale U.S. hotels. The tablet technology gives guests access to a full range of services available at the hotel and in the city, from wake-up calls to room service. specials and promotions.

Guests can also access the Internet via the tablets.

“It’s an entirely new level of communications and service between the hotel and its guests,” Brisco said.

Some hotels offer its service menu through smartphone apps, but Brisco said these are only reaching 10 to 15 per cent of guests.

That means hotels must still rely on printed materials and other traditional ways of doing business, which results in an additional cost, said Brisco.

One of the Ottawa company’s tablet apps allows guests to order food from about a dozen area restaurants.

A bike courier is then dispatched to pick up the food

order and deliver it in about 25 minutes.

“They’re discontinuing room service in major full service hotels. Too expensive.

They lose money,” Brisco said.

And because the tablets are installed in each room and provide a single menu of all available amenities offered by the hotel and businesses in the city, about 80 per cent of hotel guests are using the technology.

That frees up hotels to concentrate their efforts on other operations.

The Hotel Communication Network plans to launch live concierge services via the tablets within the next month.

No longer will guests have to go down to the lobby in search of a concierge or wait in a line to speak with someone.

The Ottawa company has its sights set on eventually going global, although future growth will be done carefully, he said.

“Our objective is to do the industry worldwide.”

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 A restless spirit is the catalyst for a new project, Aries. This week you dive right into something that will take up all of your mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, thanks to your hectic schedule, achieving lofty goals this week may be a stretch, so aim for something a little more manageable and celebrate the achievement.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, though you may be content to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others, you really can show just how compelling you are.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer. All you have to do is reach out for assistance.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have many good reasons to throw caution to the wind this week, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Listen carefully to your intuition this week, Virgo. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences. Focus on your dreams for a bit.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when things become complicated, you’re the person people often seek to iron out the situation. You have a way of quickly getting to the root of a problem.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you have a measured and methodical approach to your goals.

This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Consider your words before sharing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth.

Word things carefully.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Your self-esteem soars this week when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces.
