Little League steps up to plate Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

It all started with a comment from a young boy, who heard about the forest fires in Fort McMurray and asked his dad how they could help. Paul O’Kane, whose son plays with the Kanata Little League, said that’s

all it took to mobilize dozens of volunteers and scores of donations of hygiene and other household items. O’Kane sent out emails to parents in the league and the idea grew from there, he said. “It took about a weekand-a-half to set up,” he said.

Speed date with Kanata business ‘rockstars’ Round-table talks with local CEOs, leaders, entrepreneurs at BIA May 25 event Staff

Interested participants can speed date a number of leading Kanata business leaders on May 25. The Kanata North Business Association is hosting a “speed dating” event with local entrepreneurs, CEOs and business leaders. People will have an opportunity to take part in round-table talks and question and answer sessions with some of the area’s top business talent. “Ever wondered what it takes to drive a successful business or what the journey was like for a new startup?” asked the association in a release. “Fun, interactive and social, join us for this fast-paced, networking event with Kanata's tech movers and shakers as they share their wisdom and ingenuity at this

new event.” The eight “rockstars” taking part are: • Alec Main, CEO at Graphite Software

• Jack Gulas, partner and cofounder, Eclipsys Solutions • Steve Cody, CEO and founder, The Better Software • Tyler Nelson, co-founder, COO, Equiis Technologies Inc. • Craig Betts, founder, president and CEO, Solace Systems • Danielle McNeil Taylor, director of public and investor relations, Gigataur

• Marco Janeczek, director of entrepreneurs, L-Spark • George Chamberlain, CEO at Pleora Technologies “Each rockstar will be assigned a table and have a few minutes with participants, to answer questions and share their tips, before each group changes tables,” said the BIA. Space will be allocated on a first

come, first serve basis and no sales pitches are allowed. The event takes place Wednesday, May 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Marshes Golf Club. Free for Kanata North BIA members, $20 for non-members. There will be a cash bar and light snacks available. For details and tickets, visit kanatanorthbia.ca.

Thomas Parent is only three years old. He loves playing with friends, using building blocks and colouring, and recently started playing baseball. Thomas has spina bifida, and can’t use his legs – so while his friends run around, he wheels himself around in his small wheelchair. His health care team suggested he get a standing wheelchair frame that has a platform and two larger wheels. It would allow Thomas to move around quicker, stand at the same height as his friends and classmates, and better develop his muscles. When he recently tried a demo of a standing wheelchair, he didn’t want to get

back in his regular chair, said his grandmother Donna Huffman, who lives with Thomas’ family and helps with his care. “He wants to stand and run around with the other kids,” Huffman said. “He loves it, and it’s really good for socializing for him.” Friends and the community at Tiny Hoppers Daycare in Orléans have risen to the challenge, and are trying to raise the $7,000 needed to purchase the standing frame wheelchair for Thomas because it’s not covered by government or insurance. Thomas attends Tiny Hoppers three days a week and has many friends there. He enjoys playing outside and with his friends, who help wheel him around or bring over his toys. A GoFundMe account

had raised $2,450 as of press time, and Tiny Hoppers was working to raise the rest to help Thomas stand tall, or as tall as a little three-year-old boy can. There has already been a bake sale, with goods mostly made by Thomas’ teachers at Tiny Hoppers, that, when combined with parent donations, raised $2,097. The owners of the Orléans Tiny Hoppers, Kanata residents Umaima Mazhar and Munim Sheikh, said they will match the total raised in the community, and have committed to donate $2,097 of their own money towards the campaign. When you add the local fundraising efforts through Tiny Hoppers with the GoFundMe tally, they are now tantalizingly close to covering the $7,000 cost.

Willy’s Pizza and the Kanata Don Cherry’s donated some food to keep everyone going. O’Connor said she was surprised by the quality of the stuff donated. “Some people came with stuff they especially bought to donate,” she said. “Everyone was really digging deep.” Even more astounding she said, was the goods that came from a Syrian family, who recently came to the country via a sponsorship through the Holy Redeemer Church. “They wanted to help out their fellow Canadians,” she said

Cyclist hit by garbage truck in Kanata Elderly man taken to hospital in critical condition Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A cyclist was hit by a garbage truck early May 17 in Kanata. Paramedics received a call at 7:18 a.m. saying a cyclist was hit by a truck in the

Kanata Avenue and Knudson Drive area. Paramedics said they treated an elderly male cyclist on the scene for head and extremity injuries. He was transported to hospital in critical condition. Police are investigating the

incident. On May 13, police said there had already been 16 collisions between vehicles and bicycles between May 1 and 12 in the city. In 2014, a woman participating in the Ride the Rideau bicycle event was killed after she was hit by a garbage truck.

Police remind road users to share the road As Ottawa roadways are seeing more cycling traffic with the warmer weather, the Ottawa Police and its Safer Roads Ottawa partners remind all road users to be aware of cyclists and share the road. To increase the safety of cyclists, police advise road users to: • Treat bicycles as you would any other vehicle on the road. Cyclists generally ride in the right-most through traffic lane, about one meter from the curb or parked cars. • When passing a cyclist,

leave a safe distance between your car and the bicycle. Give extra passing distance during slippery road conditions. • Pass at a moderate speed and give plenty of space on quiet roads. • Shoulder check and signal all lane changes and turns. • Check for bicycles in your side view mirror before opening your car doors. Cycling enforcement was the focus of April’s Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). For everyone’s safety, cyclists are reminded to follow

the rules of the road that apply to them under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act and the Ottawa Traffic and Parking Bylaw. These include: • Stop at all stop signs and red lights. • Use proper hand signalling when turning and stopping. • Cycle on the right side of the road. • Ride only in the designated direction on one-way streets.

Candlelighters gets major boost from Nokia in Kanata Brain Dryden

brian.dryden@metralond.com

The big tent outside the Nokia Ottawa campus off of March Road could barely contain the amount of people who came out in support of Candlelighters and the youngsters and their families who are facing a battle with cancer that the organization helps. By the end of the “Inide Ride” fundraising event held at the Nokia campus in Kanata on May 11, just under $120,000 had been raised for the cause. And that cause is to support young cancer patients and their families in the capital region, something that is dear to the heart of Nokia, which has pledged, in partnership with the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, to help raise $1 million for Candlelighters over the next five years. The May 11 event, in which many other Kanata area businesses also took part, attracted cycling teams that used stationary bikes under the big tent to raise the funds, with the teams representing everyone from the Ottawa police, to local sports clubs such as the Fury (soccer), RedBlacks (football), and of course the Ottawa Senators, who may eventually be moving from Kanata to the downtown core in the future but are always available to help out charity events in the Kanata area. Attending the event were the Ottawa Senators’ Chris Phillips and his wife Erin, who take the work that is done by Candlelighters very seriously, as Chris and Erin are the group’s honourary chairpersons. “The impact Candlelighters has on these kids is very important and very real,” said Chris Phillips, adding that the work the organization does in helping kids with cancer and their families is invaluable. Phillips said that when he hears from the

kids that are helped by Candlelighters, both he and his wife Erin are proud to be a part of such an organization. The May 11 event in Kanata at Nokia for Candlelighters was just one aspect of a busy day for Phillips on May 11, as the long-time Senator was at city hall earlier in the morning for the launch of a city fundraiser to help the people of Fort McMurray, Alberta, that will be held in June at Aberdeen Pavilion. Phillips, who has been a very active participant in charity events in Ottawa through his many years in the city, grew up in Fort McMurray. ‘Special for us’

The executive director of Candlelighters was delighted by the support shown to the organization from the community. “The generosity of the people here and of Nokia is just so special for us,” said Jocelyn Lamont of Candlelighters Ottawa. She said the organization could not do what it does without support from the community and businesses such as Nokia. At this time, Candlelighters is supporting about 300 families in the greater Ottawa area that are dealing with childhood cancers, but that number grows as more children are diagnosed. The May 11 fundraiser also attracted local politicians such as Kanata Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon and Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, as well representatives of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, sports team mascots and Vienna Arbic, an 11-year-old Candlelighters ambassador. Fundraising teams at the event included cyclists who each rode for 10 minutes and then rotated to other members of their team, as teammates and spectators cheered them on during the lunch hour event.

Leitrim Development Area Updated Serviceability Report Class EA OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b Open House May 25, 2016 Fred G. Barrett Arena 3280 Leitrim Road (corner of Bank St. and Leitrim Rd.) 6:30 to 9 p.m. 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.

Province must keep Metrolinx cost in line

he provincial government has used blackmail to get major centres in Ontario to use the province’s Metrolinx operated Presto payment system as the smart card system for transit fare payment in the province. So it is the province that must make sure that Metrolinx does not gouge municipal transit systems. This issue is top of mind for civic leaders such as Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson these days as the initial contract to use Presto comes up for renewal. Some media reports are even suggesting that Metrolinx is seeking as much as a 10 per cent commission on each Presto transaction. The contract with the company ends in October and at this time that contract requires a two per cent commission be paid on each fare. With the end of the contract will come an increase in the commission, and as Metroland Media reports, it’s just not clear how much that will be. The province must make sure there is a fair fare commission. While Watson said the system has been working well, he doesn’t want the city to be treated as a cash cow by Metrolinx and Presto to fund their operations.

“We think a reasonable fee schedule should be established and we’ve put forward proposals,” Watson said. The mayor noted he plans to travel to Toronto at the end of the month and will meet with several ministers – including Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Luca. “Sometimes these issues can be solved by staff, but sometimes they turn political,” he said. “We have let them know very clearly that we want to make sure Presto remains affordable for our passengers, first and foremost, and secondly, for the city.” Watson said the deal has had the effect of creating a monopoly. If OC Transpo doesn’t use the proprietary payment system, the city isn’t eligible for the millions in funding it receives annually from provincial gas tax transfers. What gas tax revenue has to do with a specific transit system fare payment system is anyone’s guess, but that is the blackmail the province has used to, in essence, create a provincial monopoly. Join up or you won’t get your gas tax money. If the mob did that it would be called a shakedown. When the province does it, it’s called public policy.

Access to public washrooms is an issue

hese days a lot of attention is being paid in the news media to the problems of people finding a washroom appropriate to their gender. Much less attention is paid to the problem of people finding a washroom at all. You might be familiar with a recent study conducted by Carleton University Social Work students who looked at public toilets owned and operated by the City of Ottawa. The study unearthed accessibility problems and signage problems. But the most significant finding was that “45 per cent of the City of Ottawa public toilets were unavailable for access, either due to seasonal or daily closures.” That study, it should be added, was conducted during normal operating hours, 9 to 5. Let’s

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town remember that people don’t all retreat into their houses after 5. In fact, many of them come out to play. They come out to city parks, with their children, and you never know when a child has to go – or an adult, for that matter. Here’s a typical weekday evening in a typical city park. There are three baseball diamonds, two of them in use. That would involve, roughly, 50 players, plus coaches, plus parents, plus siblings and spectators – 100 people or more. They are in the park for a min-

imum of two hours. Fortunately, there is a clubhouse building with washrooms. But the washroom doors are locked. Ridiculous things happen then. The mother of a player borrows a car and drives to the nearest McDonald’s to use the washroom. A child who can’t get to a restaurant pees in the bushes. The bushes abut someone’s back yard. The person whose back yard it is yells at the child. The child probably wasn’t the first to use those bushes. Oddly, toilets are available in some parks with no clubhouse buildings because a porta potty has been installed. There is no logic to it. You know why those washrooms aren’t open. They need to be staffed, it is felt, staffing costs money and the city is always looking for ways to save it.

But this is one expenditure that might actually win votes. Not to sound like a broken record, but maybe some of the money allotted to the big 2017 celebrations could be diverted. Or maybe the city could come to an agreement with sports leagues or community associations. Whatever the solution, one is needed. The arguments in favour of more public washrooms open for longer hours hardly need repeating: the population is aging; the number of people with debilitating conditions who can’t be far from a washroom is growing. Beyond that, our aim should be to get both you and older people out of the house and more active, since that is essential both for physical and mental health. We don’t want people staying in who should be out. The Carleton study should help, that’s for sure. The city’s ini-

tial response has been to create a washroom map on its website. If that map is the one I found, it is as impenetrable as the washroom in the city park after 5 p.m. Maps and apps are nice, but they are not the answer. The answer is opening doors. Opening the washroom doors opens a lot of other doors for the people of the city.

Keeping busy can actually have a calming effect

or more than a decade, as a freelance journalist and consultant, I’ve done the bulk of my writing work at home. In theory, this has been an opportunity for me to have flexibility of time – appointments with clients in the morning, put dinner on mid-day, attend family appointments and be here to greet the kids after school. Although it seems ideal from the outside looking in, it has also meant working many evenings and weekends to try to make up for any lost time during the day. But there’s a single point in the day that has slowly started to chip away at me. About four years ago, I was determined to stop work entirely, when possible, 20 minutes before the kids rolled in the door. I had found that working right up until I heard their footsteps on the porch made me feel like they were constantly interrupting my work flow. Instead, I timed out my day to end early, so I could shift gears and ideally be mentally prepared for their infinite after school demands – hunger, homework, complaints about social woes – whatever they can throw at me, really. I realized, however, that over the past six months, I’ve started to dread this point in the day. Rather than welcoming my kids with open arms – “how

More Bad Policy Last week, the Hon. Glen Murray, Minister for Environment and Climate Change, confirmed his plan to eliminate natural gas as a fuel in Ontario. Industry officials estimate that switching homes from natural gas to electric heat will cost each Ontario household $3,000 more each year. Approximately 62% of Ontario homes use natural gas for heating. During Question Period, Murray suggested “in Toronto, where I live, my building and others in my neighbourhood don’t need to be running on natural gas.” The Minister also stated that “home heating in the future is going to have to come from sources other than natural gas.” I completely disagree with this outrageous idea to eliminate natural gas as a fuel in Ontario. Natural gas is an affordable and clean fuel, and Ontarians need it. Natural gas is a solution, not a problem.

LETTER

Another entitled liberal To the Editor:

"I need a team to help me serve people"? I realize that Madame Trudeau, as the wife of our Prime Minister, has responsibilities the rest of us Canadians do not have. However, with so many single parent and other families struggling to get by I feel it is a bit much for her to request more assistance as she already has multiple employees to call on. How many nannies does one family require? Sounds like another Liberal entitled to my entitlements no matter the costs. As best as I remember we did not elect Madame Trudeau as our PM. Since her husband earns over $300,000 and is a millionaire maybe they should attempt to scrape by with what they have and if additional staff really required dig into their pockets and leave already over-taxed Canadians alone.

‘Magical night’ planned Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP urges for MPP Jack MacLaren support for cancer, heart charities Staff

Staff

The old saying goes ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me!’ is ringing true for a local MPP. Family, friends and members of the community are holding a special event in support CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren on May 28. The event will run from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at 335 Michael Cowpland Drive in Kanata. The night is being billed as a ‘make it right night’ in support of MacLaren and is called Sticks and Stones and Evening of Support. MacLaren has been under fire in the media for several missteps including off-colour jokes and questionable testimonials. The evening of support will include a dinner and entertainment by two-time Canadian magic champion Eric Leclerc.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is urging his constituents to support two charities that are having fundraisers next week. In his latest MPP newsletter, MacLaren reports that on Saturday, May 28, Beer Store cus-

tomers are encouraged to return their empty beer, wine, and spirit containers to donate all or a portion of their container deposits to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. All of the funds raised will be used to fund promising blood cancer research at medical institutions across the

country, he explained. Last year’s bottle drive raised an impressive $1.7 million and more than $11 million has been raised over the past 10 years, he said. Meanwhile, on May 26 and June 8, the Big Bike for Heart is coming back to Kanata Research Park

and is seeking corporate teams to participate, said MacLaren. “Join in the fun and get a little exercise riding the Big Bike to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation,” he wrote. People can participate as an individual or register as a company team.

Kanata hospice in need of $600,000 by end of May Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Joan and Don Moore accepted a room at the Central West Hospice in early October 2014 when a bed became available. The couple moved into the residence that would become their home for the next five weeks with a little trepidation, but from the moment they stepped through the doors they knew they made the right choice. “Don was home ... and I was taking care of him,” said Joan. “But it got to the point that we needed help.” The two had been married two months shy of 55 years when Don passed away on Nov. 15, 2014. Don was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006. He had all the treatments: an operation, followed by chemotherapy and then radiation. Things were on an even keel for a few years, said Joan, before a follow up found the cancer had moved into his bones. Living in Carp, the Moores chose to move to Stittsville to be closer to the hospitals for treatments. They discussed their options. The Community Care Access Centre and their family doctor gave them information about Hospice Care Ottawa and the free services it provides for those with a lifelimiting illness. “Don was in and out of hospital so much, so much. They had spoken to us about getting him into hospice,” Joan said. “At first, he wasn’t very thrilled about that. Then one

morning he woke up and said, ‘You know, if there’s a bed I think it’s time I go to hospice.’” ***

Hospice palliative care aims to “reduce the burden on the health system from unnecessary hospitalization for palliative individuals,” said Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan. “Our mission is to accompany and support individuals and their families through their end-of-life journey by providing compassionate, high-quality care. All of our programs and services are provided at no charge to clients or their families.” Hospice Care Ottawa currently has 19 beds – nine at the May Court Hospice in Old Ottawa South and 10 at Central West Hospice located in the west end – that provide free around-the-clock nursing care for people in their last days and weeks of life. The beds located at Central West are a stop-gap until Hein House, the residential wing of the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice

in Kanata, is built. The goal is to get shovels in the ground on May 31, said Sullivan. The only problem is the project is in need of $600,000 by May 31. A $6-million fundraising campaign met its goal, but as the need continues to grow for hospice and respite beds, Sullivan said they decided to continue fundraising to build two additional rooms. “This city could use 60 hospice beds and we only have 19,” she said, adding the government provides no funding for capital costs. The average wait for a bed is three days but there are times when rooms are full and people have to be turned away, said Sullivan. “We want to make sure we’re building a place where we can provide the best services. We’re spending money on an expense like this; we decided we’d like to build two extra rooms,” she said. “It’s much more cost-effective to add them now.” The number of people using residential hospice care continues to climb: 357 clients used

the service in 2015-16, while the previous year saw 290 individuals stay in residence. “Most people would prefer to die at home but that isn’t always possible,” said Sullivan. “Hospice provides a home-like setting – families stay overnight, cook their own food but their loved one also receives 24-hour care.” Which is why the organization hopes donors will step forward to help finish funding Hein House. ***

The need for Hein House, for more beds, is huge, said Joan. “We need more, more, more hospice beds for sure. Hospitals do a marvellous job but they don’t have the same time to be able to spend (by the bedside).” For more information on Hospice Care Ottawa, visit hospicecareottawa.ca. To make a donation to Hein House call 613-260-2906 ext. 222 or visit hospicecareottawa. ca/ruddy-shenkman-hospiceupdate.html to donate online.

City Councillor, Kanata north TOWN HALL, May 24, 7-9 pm, 2500 Campeau Drive, Mlacak Centre (Hall C) – Hear about ticks and Lyme disease (present in Kanata North), Lebreton Flats and the future of the Ottawa Senators, sidewalk construction in 2016, ongoing development, update on KNL lands and expansion lands, reports on the Kanata North Community Recognition Awards, Cycle in Kanata Event and ACE Gala. Get your copy of the Kanata Cycling Map and find out about Kanata Race Day, Canada Day in Kanata and the Kanata North Picnic. Stay informed about local issues and fun activities in our community this summer. All are welcome to attend and participate. ACE GALA FUNDRAISER REPORT - Together with Councillor Rick Chiarelli, I co-hosted an evening filled with dinner, music, live and silent auctions and dancing. The more than 120 supporters present raised funds for an Acute Care for the Elderly (ACE) Unit in the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The unit, to open this fall, will provide specialized care for older patients who have multiple ailments. Thank you to everyone who came out to support this great cause. If you are interested in donating to this cause please contact the QCH at qchfoundation@qch.on.ca, phone 613-721-4731 or online at www.ace.qchfoundation.ca. BIKE TO WORK MONTH – Many residents live near their workplace, yet they still drive there! Get the exercise you need and reduce congestion by cycling to work during this good weather. Let me know of any issues along your route so they can be addressed. TICKS & LYME DISEASE – Black-legged ticks taken from two people in Kanata North were found to be carriers of Lyme disease, so it is important that you know how to avoid ticks and remove them quickly if they attach to you. Ticks feed during the spring and summer months so be on the outlook. Lyme disease is an infection caused by bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. Tick habitats include tall grass, bushes and woods. If a tick attaches to you and is removed within 24 hours, the bacteria will not transmit. Remove any tick as soon as possible with tweezers or a tick remover (available from Ottawa Health and I have some in my office). Once it has been removed, wash the bite site with soap and water. For more information visit Ottawa.ca/Lymedisease.

Mallory’s photo overlays a second photo of the event, which took place at the EY Centre and drew more than 42,000, many of them dressed in a fantastical array of costumes, depicting characters from board games to classic movies.

The pilot sold and the show ran for three years “barely hanging on,” and was eventually cancelled. “And then slowly it was being replayed on stations … and people began to see the show the way we had hoped from the beginning it would be seen.” “Gradually it became popular again, and 50 years later …” he said, his voice trailing off as cheers filled the museum. “Unimaginable that a show lasts. I mean, people don’t last 50 years. I’m having trouble lasting 50 years,” the 85-year-old quipped. “The show has gone on to become a phenomenon in show business. Or as Donald Trump would say, ‘It’s huge.’” To further mark the milestone anniversary, the Royal Canadian Mint struck a new $10 coin that depicts Shatner as Kirk when he first brought the character to life on the small screen. The coin was unveiled during the gala

ceremony. Case in point, Sherry Boucher and her husband Jason Dubeau, of Greenboro, attended the gala dressed as Vulcans and had their photos taken with Shatner and enjoyed the evening spectacle, which included glow-in-the-dark sticks with cotton candy, photo-ops with costumed characters and live entertainment, including shows by aerial acrobats.

Fifty years after Captain James T. Kirk first took the helm as commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, William Shatner strode confidently back onto the bridge and claimed his post once again. The Montreal native, known for many TV and film roles but adored by legions of Trekkies around the world for his lead role on Star Trek, briefly sat in the commander’s seat for photos during an evening gala event on May 12. Just a few minutes earlier, Shatner took the stage as the keynote speaker before a soldout crowd of 1,000 people inside the museum for the world premier launch of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s new exhibit, Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience. “For the first time on this planet the future has come to Ottawa, alright?” he said to cheers. “I always thought this meant Justin Trudeau,” he quipped. Shatner wasn’t the only Star Trek star to shine on stage.

John de Lancie, who starred on various Star Trek TV series as the character “Q,” and René Auberjonois, who portrayed Chief Security Officer Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, also made brief appearances, much to the delight of the crowd. Attendees also included a number of politicians, including Mélanie Joly, minister of Canadian Heritage, who took the stage to speak about government funding and museum innovation, and, in the audience, Marc Garneau, minister of transport, whom Joly referred to as “our very own Spock.” “The Starfleet Academy experience brings 50 years of Star Trek to life in a fun, accessible, immersive way,” Shatner said, reading from a script. “So 50 years of Star Trek -- can you imagine?” he said, before recalling the call he received from Star Trek creator and producer Gene Roddenberry, who wanted Shatner to play the lead role of captain for a second attempt at a Star Trek pilot. “It was great. It had heroes and villains and aliens and

Tanya Harrison and her friend Gaelan D’costa didn’t have the opportunity to travel at warp speed, and so spent much of the day leading up to the celebration on the road. “I drove nine hours to get here,” said Harrison, who came in from London, Ont., picking her friend, D’costa, up in Toronto on the way. For D’costa, the gala was an excuse to dig out his Klingon mask, which he last wore more than 20 years ago in middle school. Despite his penchant for Klingons, his favourite Star Trek character is Data, the endearing android from the Next Generation television series. “I identified a lot with Data as a kid,” D’costa said. As an immigrant, he said the character resonated with him. The android knew he was different though he

looked human, and he tried his best to fit in and learn how to be a good person. “He tried to figure out how things worked,” said D’costa. CAREER DAY

The public now has the chance to figure out how things worked as recruits at a Starfleet Academy career day — the exhibit’s premise — working their way up from recruit to pilot. The experience is designed to offer a window into “the science behind the science fiction” of Star Trek and share lessons in how the show influenced real-life technologies, including a functional tricorder, lasers and teleporters, said Shatner. “So the Star Trek Academy experiences uses the Star Trek franchise as a springboard to teach visitors about science and technology,” Shatner said. Visitors will learn about various Starfleet careers,

pilot a starship and face the challenging Kobayashi Maru, which will test their character. Visitors are welcomed to the 930-square-metre exhibit inside a reserve hangar next to the museum, by signage in three languages — English, French and Klingon — before they turn a few corners and feast their eyes on a large model of the Enterprise. There are also models of other iconic vessels, along with gadgets, characters from the show and props, such as costumes. This summer, kids will also have a chance to fall in love with the exhibit. Weeklong Starfleet Academy Junior Cadet camps will offer a variety of adventures, from learning the Klingon language to taking a real flight in a Cessna aircraft. The Star Trek exhibit will remain at the museum until Sept. 5. For exhibit details, visit starfleetacademytour.com.

Planning staff take some heat over duplicate street names Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

What’s in a name? Planning staff took some heat from Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley on May 10 over the fact that there are still a number of roads that need to be renamed as a result of the amalgamation of Ottawa and the surrounding municipalities. Acting general manager of the planning department, Michael Mizzi, said the process requires a lot of back and forth between the ward councillor and the community. College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli outlined the hullabaloo around the name change for Robertson Road in Bells Corners in 2011. Almost 2,000 people voiced concerns about the change, he said. “Some people didn’t understand the need to change confusing duplicate street names,” Chiarelli said. Committee chair Jan Harder said the fault isn’t

entirely with staff. She said some councillors may delay a name change because of concern over how residents will react. Frank Bidin, chief building official for the city, said the work should be done in the first quarter of 2017. There were 150 street names to be changed last year. Bidin said there are about 45 where the city has yet to start the process. Chiarelli said it may be difficult for residents to understand the reasons for doing it, which in turn has slowed the process. Chiarelli said the delay may be a good thing because now the streets can honour trailblazing women. In the fall, GloucesteSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans and Chiarelli submitted the names of 11 women who they deemed to be trailblazers. The names have been vetted and preapproved through the city’s commemorative street naming process. Any street names in

Deans’ or Chiarelli’s wards that need to be changed due to name duplication can now be renamed in honour of an accomplished Canadian woman, considered “innovative, determined and historically important,” the councillors said in a joint press release on Oct. 27.

• Jennie Kidd Trout, the first Canadian woman to become a licensed medical doctor. • Eileen Vollick, the first Canadian woman to become a licensed pilot.

The names of women trailblazers that have since been selected represent important firsts for women in many different fields: • Josephine Dandurand, vice-president of the National Council of Women of Canada. • Leone Norwood Farrell, a key figure in the mass production of the polio vaccine. • Allie Vibert Douglas, the first female Canadian astrophysicist. • Elsie Knott, who became the first Canadian woman First Nation chief. • Agnes Macphail, the first female MP. • Elizabeth Muriel Grego-

Ikea and Tree Canada staff plant 140 trees Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Several dozen Ikea and Tree Canada employees sported gloves and hats to plant trees in Nepean on the

unseasonably chilly morning of May 16. Despite the wind and cold, volunteers planted 140 trees in a field near Corkstown Road owned by the National Capital Commission as part

of a 20-year partnership between Ikea Canada and Tree Canada. Since that partnership began in 1996, volunteers have planted 27,679 trees and shrubs – purchased by Tree Canada with funds raised by

Ikea – across the country. “We want to have an impact on local communities, and with our partnership with Tree Canada, I really feel that we live up to that,” said Stefan Sjostrand, president of Ikea Canada. “I think it is amazing to see all those coworkers. They come out here and they do it on their free time, and I think for me that is amazing that we do it voluntarily.” The Nepean tree planting was one of 12 that took place near Ikea locations across Canada that morning. The trees – including conifers like tamarack and white pine, and deciduous trees like silver maple and white oak – were chosen by Tree Canada because they are native to the area. “It’s a mixture of what

would be here in a natural forest,” said Tree Canada president Michael Rosen. According to Rosen, the lot was chosen because of its proximity to the Ikea store on Iris Street, and with hopes that 10 or 15 years from now, the new tree canopy will provide cooling shade for a cold water creek at the back of the lot which is home to fish like trout. “When we set up tree plants, we want them to be in areas of environmental need,” Rosen said. “So this one was identified because of the cold water stream as an area of environmental need.” Before planting the first tree of the day with Rosen, Mayor Jim Watson and Deputy Mayor and Bay ward Coun. Mark Taylor, Sjostrand announced the Ikea

Outdoor Classroom contest, which will award one Canadian school with $10,000 to build an outdoor classroom and provide a runner-up with $4,000 for school ground greening. Outdoor classrooms incorporate outdoor seating, blackboards, ground cover, greenhouses, trees and shrubs to allow students and teachers to take lessons outside. The grant will be available to schools within 100 km of an Ikea store. “I think it is a great opportunity for the schools to create something,” Sjostrand said. For more information about the Ikea Outdoor Classroom contest, visit treecanada.ca/en/programs/ikeaoutdoor-classroom-program/ how-apply/.

Hundreds wish Juanita Snelgrove a happy 100th birthday Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Hundreds of people came out to wish a very happy 100th birthday to Juanita Snelgrove, a descendant of the historic Pinhey family and a long-time community volunteer in West Carleton and Kanata. The birthday celebration, attended by more 330 people, was held in the original stone house at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site on May 14. Snelgrove turns 100 on Friday, May 20. The line of people waiting to visit with the guest of honour snaked through the house and out onto the lawn. Snelgrove spoke with everyone, often recounting a story with old friends and new. She said she was really enjoying the party before greeting the next person in line. "I think she shook hands with all 337 people," said Daphne Snelgrove, Juanita's eldest daughter. Juanita, who is well known throughout the community

VOLUNTEERISM

for her volunteerism, is still very active with a number of organizations including the Dunrobin Women's Institute and the Anglican Parish of March. She moved to the Chartwell Kanata Retirement Residence last year and recently took up cribbage and euchre. "I guess I just take it for granted. I have a different view of age now – 80 is not very old," said Daphne. "Any activity that’s going on she’s there for. If they have outings she’s the first to put her name down." HISTORY

Juanita was born in Brighton, England, in 1916 to mother Constance Rhynas Pinhey and father Eustace Hamilton-Jackson. After their wartime marriage failed, Juanita and her mother immigrated to Canada in 1920 to live with her grandmother in Montreal. Juanita graduated from McGill University in 1939, a time when very few women

Juanita Snelgrove, right, celebrates her 100th birthday with hundreds of family and friends on May 14, including Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. pursued post-secondary education. She also volunteered for the children’s hospital and became involved in the Girl Guide movement. In 1950, after a long courtship, she married her husband Charlie and moved to

a farm near Carp, before settling in Dunrobin near Pinhey’s Point. She became active in local agriculture, including exhibiting at the Carp Fair, while raising her three daughters, Daphne, Meg and Con.

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

When her husband died, Juanita began volunteering in earnest. A long-time member of the Anglican Parish of March, she has served as a member of the Anglican Church Women (ACW) and been an active supporter of many charities such as Centre 454, which provides assistance to the homeless. Her volunteer work includes involvement with the Canadian Institute for the Blind, Canadian Cancer Society, Dunrobin Women's Institute and the former city of Kanata. Juanita has also done extensive work with the March Historical Society and Pinhey's Point Foundation. A well-known speaker on the Pinhey family, she would often dress in period costume during visits to local elementary schools and during events at Pinhey's Point. In 2012, the City of Ottawa named a Kanata park in her honour. The Juanita Snel-

grove Park is located at 374 Kinghorn Cres. Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson both spoke about Juanita’s many accomplishments over the past century during the party. Juanita was presented with a certificate from the Anglican Bishop of Ottawa for her service to the church, an Honorary Life Award by the Girl Guides of Canada (she was also given her 65 year Guiding membership pin this month and has been a member of the 1st Ottawa Trefoil Guild since 1976), and a copy of William P. McElligott’s book “Ottawa Canada” inscribed by Mayor Jim Watson. She also received certificates for her 100th birthday from Queen Elizabeth II, the Governor General, the Prime Minister, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Premier of Ontario and Ottawa city council. - With files from Metroland Media

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.

Allan Hubley New research centre to answer tough Positive Change questions to drive mental-health change Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Seventy-five per cent of children in Canada are suffering from mental-health issues, but aren’t receiving care, according to a Canadian psychiatry study. But why? A bid to answer that question and others will be part of what drives the work — and future change — at a new research centre set to launch at CHEO this September, the hospital announced May 10. Experts at the CHEO Research Institute, including Bill Gardner, who was recently named director of the hospital’s new Centre of Mental Health Services and Policy Research, have already been hard at work to develop health-care improvements designed to help more kids get the care they need. Part of the focus already has been on gaining a better understanding of children and teens coming into Ontario emergency rooms who have harmed themselves or attempted suicide. “What I want to do is understand the epidemiology and how it’s changed over the years,” said Gardner, who is also a professor of epidemiology and senior scientist at the CHEO Research Institute. Studies will examine the resulting health-care costs, how patients are faring a few years after their first visit, how often they have returned to the ER, whether they have been diagnosed and if they have attempted suicide. Information from provincial databases is now being gathered with the goal of developing a clearer picture of child and youth mental-health services that are available in the province, Gardner said. He and other researchers have been working over the past year with regional child mental-health agencies, including the Ottawa-based Youth Services Bureau, which have been given more responsibility in how mental-health dollars are spent. “So these agencies have a problem of trying to figure out what’s best for their community, how to plan the men-

tal-health dollars they have,” Gardner said. Research would help them decide how much of the funds should be spent on prevention activities, such as drug education and suicide prevention, and what should go to such services as counselling. “There’s only so many public dollars,” said Gardner. “So we want to help agencies find ways to use data to give the most evidence-based and objective answers to these questions.” The goal is to turn that into more and better care for kids in need, said Gardner, a child psychologist and statistician, who will also serve as senior research chair of child and adolescent psychiatry at the centre. Video conferencing is already in use, but through research at the centre, a program is in the works that will show the benefits of teaming up citybased mental-health specialists with family doctors and nurse

practitioners who are working in rural and remote areas. “We have some ideas that we think are innovative,” Gardner said. CHEO recently announced it is rolling out a new mentalhealth care program designed to cut wait times for mentalhealth outpatient services, known as the Choice and Partnership Approach, or CAPA. The new centre’s researchers will be measuring the program’s success along the way. It’s about “trying to get evidence for whether it works or whether it doesn’t so that if it does work we can spread the approach to other organizations,” said Gardner. The need for help is clear. The Mental Health Commission of Canada says on average one in five people in Canada suffers a mental-health issue per year. “Nothing like that number ever, ever gets care,” said Gardner, adding there are many

reasons, such as stigma to not enough services that pose a barrier to treatment. “There’s an enormous amount of suffering,” he said. The hope is that with more research and trying out a new model for care that more people will get help sooner. “We’re going to help more people, no question,” Gardner said. Gardner’s team will expand this September to include John McLennan, a child psychiatrist and health-services researcher who is currently in Calgary working as an associate professor at the University of Calgary. As a CHEO research chair of child and adolescent psychiatry, McLennan will focus on the delivery of mental-health services in schools and getting services to hard-to-reach children and teens who have disruptive behaviour disorders or have a combination of mentalhealth problems and intellectual challenges.

Ottawa resident bilked of $10K in re-emerging scam ‘If they threaten to arrest you, it’s a scam:’ police Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A scam in which residents are being threatened with arrest is making the rounds again in Ottawa. One Ottawa resident was bilked of almost $10,000 in recent weeks in this way, said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman. “It’s been seen in the past. It’s just that it’s more prevalent, that we’ve had more complaints,” he said of this particular scam. As a result, the Ottawa police organized fraud unit has issued a warning about “an emerging mass marketing scam/extortion” in which fraudsters are telephoning residents and threatening to arrest them and their families. “Messages have been

left for victims to immediately call back a specific phone number or their family would be arrested and prosecuted,” police said in a statement issued May 11. The callers are actually after personal information, as well as credit card and bank account numbers and passwords, and threaten victims with arrest if they don’t share these details.

‘It’s been seen in the past. It’s just that it’s more prevalent, that we’ve had more complaints.’ Const. Marc Soucy

“This is also how fraudsters confirm a victim’s identity,” police said. The callers have impersonated government agencies and lawyers, though there have also been instances in which they don’t

provide a name. Some scammers have said they are calling on behalf of the Canada Revenue Agency and say, “‘If you don’t come up with the money, there’s people on the way to your house to arrest you,’” Soucy said. Faced with such a threat, victims have offered to provide their credit card information, but the fraudsters insist they instead go to a store and purchase iTunes cards worth thousands of dollars. “Then they’ll stay on your cellphone with you (while you buy the cards) and then they get the pin number on the back of the card and cash them out,” Soucy said, adding there is no way to recoup the money once the pin is shared. Fraud officers are urging residents to be wary of callers asking for personal and banking information. Agencies such as the Canada Revenue Agency will not call you to ask for payment in this way, or

threaten arrest, Soucy advised, adding that because it’s tax time right now these callers are trying to prey on people. The scammers may also attempt to represent telephone, cable, gas or hydro companies, he said. Soucy advises anyone who receives such a threat-

ening call to do their homework and check into the caller’s identity by first searching online for the agency’s real telephone number and then calling to verify the claims that money is owed. “If they threaten to arrest you, it’s a scam,” said Soucy. Victims are urged to re-

port suspicious calls or that they have been bilked of their money by calling the Ottawa police call centre by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 7300, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. For more details about marketing scams and fraud, visit www.antifraudcentre. ca.

Ottawa to host western-themed fundraiser for Fort McMurray Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa is going western in support of Fort McMurray. Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa Senators defenceman Chris Phillips, who grew up and has family in Fort McMurray, announced a beer and pizza night aimed at raising funds to help rebuild the city after devastating forest fires caused the Alberta city to be completely evacuated in the largest mass scale evacua-

tion in Canadian history. The Ottawa4FortMac fundraiser will be held at the Aberdeen Pavilion, 1000 Exhibition Way, on June 8 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. The event will have a western theme, with live country music, pizza and craft beer. “Every little bit helps,” Phillips said, adding that all the funds will go to the Red Cross to help relief efforts in Fort McMurray. Watson said that now that the immediate threat to that

city from the fires has eased, the real work begins. “It’s going to take a lot to rebuild,” he said. “There are fundraising efforts going on in individual neighbourhoods, but we thought it was important to do one as a city.” Watson said that while there is no set fundraising goal, organizers are hoping to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the relief efforts. Tickets for the fundraiser will be available early next

week. The city isn’t the only one pitching in to help out. Ottawa Race Weekend director John Halverson announced May 10 that participants will be able to send their race funds to the Red Cross and their Alberta Fires campaign. The province of Ontario announced May 11 that it would be contributing $500,000 to the relief efforts in Alberta. Ontario has also provided emergency management personnel to support local firefighting efforts. As of May 11, 60 firefighters, three strike team leaders and 16 incident management and supervisory staff from Ontario are on the ground in Alberta, according to a press release. “The devastating losses from the wildfires in Alberta have touched the hearts of people across Ontario,” Premier Kathleen Wynne stated in the release. “Community does not stop at our provincial borders. As fellow Canadians, we stand together with the people of Alberta in their time of need by supporting relief efforts through the Red Cross and sending firefighting crews to help battle the fires,” she said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected by this disaster.” William Mauro, Ontario’s minister of natural resources and forestry, said the province’s fire program is recognized around the world. “We will continue to provide the appropriate personnel and support to the people of Alberta throughout this disaster,” Mauro said. “Our deepest gratitude goes out to the firefighters who continue to battle this wildfire.”

Carp’s Pizza Workz donating Youths! Adults! Seniors! Earn Extra Money! to Fort McMurray relief Keep Your Weekends Free! Jessica Cunha

For every pizza sold at Pizza Workz in Carp, $1 will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross to help those affected by the devastating forest fires in Fort McMurray. Daniel Vopni, co-owner of the pizzeria with his father Ed, spent a year living and working in Fort McMurray. “I actually spent a year in Fort Mac right before I came back to buy this place. I still have friends and family in that area,” said Vopni. “We’ve been in touch with them and they all got evacuated.” The fundraiser is a way for him to help those living in the Alberta city after sweeping forest fires caused the largest mass scale evacuation in Canadian history. “Something this horrendous, it’s important that everybody does what they can,” said Vopni. For every regular pizza sold between May 13 and June 13, Vopni will donate $1 to the relief efforts. The fundraiser includes any size pizza but excludes any special offers. “It’s any size pizza and any number of pizzas. If you order six pizzas we donate $6,” said Vopni. Three days in and already more than $150

has been raised. “We’re tracking it every day and we’ll make one donation at the end of the month,” he said, adding he’d like to raise “as much as possible, for sure.” Vopni lived in the Carp area for more than 15 years before venturing to Fort McMurray to work in construction. His parents were visiting him in Alberta when the restaurant was posted online for sale. “Running a restaurant was something my dad and I talked about for over a decade,” said Vopni. He and his father put up the capital and purchased Pizza Workz about 18 months ago. His mother Patti and sister Julia also work there. “We got into this together,” said Vopni. “It’s been a lot fun. I mean it’s been a lot of work too, but it’s been a lot of fun. We’ve met some really fantastic people. It’s really nice if you’re in a small community like Carp and West Carleton to be able to get to know people and be involved in things.” Donations to the Red Cross Alberta fires emergency appeal will be matched by the government. Pizza Workz is located at 461 Donald B. Munro Dr. For more information, visit pizzaworkz.ca or call 613-8395555.

Up to 85 artists, artisans, vendors at Arts in the Park John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Village Square Park in Stittsville will be filled with artisans and artists for the annual “Arts in the Park” event hosted by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) on Sunday, June 5. Already about 55 artisan/artist vendors have signed up for the event and SVA director Doug Suther-

land, who is spearheading the organization of the event for the SVA, expects that there will be at least 75 to 85 vendors on site at this year’s event. “It will be a pretty full park again,” he told the SVA executive at a May 12 meeting. He said that there are quite a few new vendors signed up so far this year, probably half of the total

number. In addition to the artisans and artists who will be displaying their wares at this year’s “Arts in the Park” event, there will also be authors in attendance as well as music and theatrical performers. Students from the URock Music School in Stittsville will be among those who will be performing.

West end fiddler to help Celtfest salute National Fiddling Day Ruth DuBois

Imagine what can happen when a headliner performer like Cindy Thompson opens for a headliner-performing band like Coig! Electricity, that’s what! That is exactly what’s in store this July 9 when Almonte Celtfest celebrates its 20th anniversary. As fiddlerin-residence, Thompson has been tantalizing audiences several times over the months leading up to the celebrations. Thompson is originally from Kinburn in the Ottawa Valley where she grew up steeped in an Irish-English home with her parents, grandparents, and two siblings. She and her sisters learned to step dance at a very young age, and were known all over the area where they performed widely. She learned to play the fiddle with coaching and encouragement from her ‘Grandpa Buck’, and by the age of 14 years, her unique style incorporating simultaneous fiddling and step dancing was garnering her awards. Thompson has performed live across Canada and the United States in countless special

Selena Gomez concert rescheduled thanks to Raptors advancement Staff

A shift in Selena Gomez’s timeline for a show at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto will change plans for Ottawa fans. Because the Toronto Raptors advanced to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the pop star’s show in Toronto slated for May 22 will be shifted to May 25.

That means her show at the Canadian Tire Centre – which would have been on May 25, will be moved to May 22 as part of her North American tour. Singers Tyler Shaw and Bea Miller will now be performing alongside Gomez on the rescheduled date in Ottawa. Bea Miller and DCNE will open the show for Gomez in Toronto on May 25.

Brain Imaging Centre opens at The Royal Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

Before The Royal Mental Health Centre unveiled its new Brain Imaging Centre on May 12, caring for patients with mental illness was symptom-based. Physicians would ask patients how they felt, what was wrong. But the space’s new centrepiece, a PET-fMRI, will help researchers individualize treatment, actually see what is wrong and help people get better faster. The machine that has two components, one that shows the electrical pulses and neurotransmitters that enable communication throughout the brain and the other shows where something might be going wrong, changes in blood flow and which regions are more or less active. The centre is the brainchild of Dr. Zul Merali, president and CEO of The Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research. He envisioned a centre such as this eight years ago. “I thought this day would never arrive,” Merali said to a crowded room during the grand opening. Before the official remarks, Merali showed off the new centre and spoke about his vision. “If you go to a mechanic, they can see your engine, touch your engine and fix your engine. In the brain, it’s completely encased in skull – you can’t see it and you have to depend on the symptoms that people tell you about,” he said. “The one way to make a difference is to be able to see the organ that you’ll be able to be treating.” The machine is the first of its kind to be used specifically for mental illness. Construction of the space began last June and cost a total of $13.5 million, including $8 million for the machine alone. Fundraising for the

centre included 17 donors who provided $1 million or more each, including the Canadian Legion, which made its largest single donation ever of more than $1 million. For the first five years, the machine will be used for research. Merali said it’s needed so researchers and doctors can begin to determine biological markers of different mental illnesses and see who is more likely to respond to specific treatments and to define ways of early diagnosis. The research will focus on depression. Merali said the World Health Organization has determined the No. 1 illness is depression. Depression casts a fairly wide net and includes suicides associated with depression and depressive disorders, including bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. The hospital is working with the Canadian Armed Forces, who invested in the brain imaging technology, for research on mental illness and post-traumatic stress disorder. The Canadian Armed Forces has invested $2.65-million over four years for the collaboration. “When you look at the brains of someone with post-traumatic stress disorder, in essence, the brain lights up like a Christmas tree,” Merali said. “You don’t have to be a neuroscientist to differentiate the control brain from the brain of someone with PTSD.” It’s making the invisible struggle visible that was so attractive to the military. “The Royal and the Canadian Armed Forces share a strong dedication to the well-being of our soldiers, veterans, and their families and we are proud to be expanding our research collaboration. Mental health injuries can be extremely debilitating but this research will be a game-changer. With a better understanding of how PTSD and

operational stress Injuries affect the brain, we aim to rewrite the stories of suffering into stories of recovery,” said George Weber, president and CEO of The Royal, in a press release on May 16. Merali said the research should help with removing the stigma of mental illness as well.

“If you begin to show that there is something awry in the brain, then maybe we look at it differently.” Dr. Pierre Blier, director of the mood disorders research unit at The Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research, and Canada Research Chair, is one of the first in line for use of the machine. Blier is

researching how low doses of ketamine, traditionally used as a sedative and aesthetic, can help with treatment-resistant depression. He’s found it has a rapid anti-depressant effect within 24 hours. “We’ve seen suicidal thoughts go down,” Blier said when explaining his research.

“You have to see it to believe it.” The scanner then can be used to find where suicidal thoughts are found in the brain. More than 900,000 people die by suicide worldwide annually. “It’s like making the City of Ottawa disappear.”

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

About 18 months ago I left a steady job to work at a new company where I was promised at least three more years of work. This would have brought me to age 60 when I want to retire. My boss has now told me that I’m going to be let go next month. I’m pretty sure this is being done because of my age. I only left my previous job because I was guaranteed work until age 60. I don’t want to retire early and I want to take legal action. An employee’s rights in such a situation often depend on whether a written contract was ever signed and what evidence is available that age discrimination has occurred. Even for a relatively short term contract the written terms of the agreement are important. Employers are typically very careful before guaranteeing employment for a specific period of time so employment contracts are usually made to be indefinite which means they can terminated with reasonable notice. Fixed term contracts can result in an employer having to pay a significant amount of compensation to end a contract early which could be the result in your case. About Allan Snelling

Bill’s litigation practice includes work on breach of contract, construction, and shareholder disputes. Bill was called to the Bar in Ontario in 2009.

However, if the employer made a verbal guarantee of employment, but this guarantee is not found in the written employment agreement it is much harder to argue that there was in fact a guarantee to employment for a certain period of time. It is discriminatory under the Ontario Human Rights Code to dismiss an employee due to their age. The difficulty is proving that a dismissal occurred due to an employee’s age as opposed to a legitimate business purpose. Because of the uncertainties involved in the type of claims you are describing the best first step is to consult with a lawyer and have them review your contract.

The Porsche 911 model Carrera Coupe is a fun little sports car to drive. Full of power and comfort, this $120,000 vehicle is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime car. One of eight Porsche available to take for a spin at Porsche Cars Canada’s 911 Grand Tour on May 14 at the Canadian Tire Centre, Mark Motors Porsche organized the event, which included an hour-long street drive and a mini auto slalom race track.

For one day the Canadian Tire Centre’s parking lot turned into an miniature auto slalom Porsche race track and living out a small, but exciting

dream to be a race car driver, I had the opportunity to test my skills. The engine purred, as I got ready to take on the course. Seated beside me was my coach – former Porsche race car driver Kees Nierop – and so with a

thrust of the throttle I lurched forward and hugged the corners and there it was, one quick boot around the course and in this car – a Porsche 911Carera 4 Coupe – I immediately felt like I could take on any race car driver. Laughing, Nierop said I probably needed a few more times around the track, but what does a former racer who has been driving Porsches since the 1979 know more than a first-time eager driver would?

Nierop and fellow Ottawa native Travis Hill were the two brave coaches who, on May 14, took 12 lucky individuals, myself included, out on the town with eight Porsche 911s. The event is part of Porsche Cars Canada’s 911 Grand Tour, a nation-wide drive event. The event will travel across Canada to various Porsche Centres to promote the brand and the new Porsche 911 models – the Carrera Coupe, Carrera Cabriolet, Carrera S Coupe, Carrera S Cabriolet, Carrera 4 Coupe, Carrera 4S Coupe, Targa 4 and the Targa 4S. Here in Ottawa, Mark Motors Porsche located in Vanier organized the event which offers people the test drive chance of a lifetime – an hourlong street drive and of course, the mini-race track – which by the way, in case you were wondering, the sports car stops on a dime… after testing out just how fast it can take off. Even though the event offers the chance to take on a track, it is not an event to improve personal driving skills – Porsche has specific training schools for that if you’re interested in Montreal – but instead, according to Porsche, the driving sessions are developed to make the experience of the Porsche 911 model range memorable. The event is centered on presenting the new models and all that they can do for the average, city/country driving Porsche owner. An unbelievable experience,

Currently there are 16 different 911 models available, but as Nierop explains it, when all said and done, with the ability to custom-build your very own model, there will be close to 26 models not all the same on the road this year. I come from a sports car loving family. I have had a few other lucky sports car driving opportunities in the past. My dad’s 1975 Corvette; his 1979 Bricklin – that thing was a powerhouse. Then there was a brother-in-law’s Honda Prelude. That too had power – but who are we kidding. Nothing really compares to those Porsches (Okay, maybe the Corvette, but it’s currently on blocks for the third time in my thirty-something lifetime). So if you have an extra $200,000 kicking around, it’s definitely worth it. Just for the turbo engine alone. It definitely will make getting that milk run in the middle of the night worth it. I promise you.

and one not likely to happen outside of my job - the base Carrera 4 model starts at $120,000 and with multiple features – rear-mounted 370-horsepower 3.0-litre, twin-turbo six-cylinder engine with the S models make up 420-horsepower, the option to choose a manual or optional dual-clutch automatic transmission (both 7-speeds) as a coupe, convertible, or Targa and the option to choose 2-wheel or all-wheel drive – that price climbs up to almost $200,000 – this is not just any car. But for the lucky few that had a chance to test drive it, you quickly see that it is also not just any other sports car. Maybe it was the opportunity to drive in a mini-gang of Porsches, a fleet of eight in total taking over the outskirts of Ottawa, but this car has power. And it has pizzazz. Founded 60 years ago because a man named Ferdinand Porsche couldn’t find the sports car he wanted so he decided to build his own, Porsche has continued to create the quintessen-

Shopify invites residents inside for Doors Open Ottawa Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Located in Almonte, Dandelion Foods is a one-stop grocer for organic, seasonally local and natural foods and products, as well as a large selection of high-quality supplement products.

Nosy Ottawa residents and visitors alike will have 19 new locations to check out at this year’s Doors Open Ottawa. Doors Open Ottawa organizers announced a list of more than 120 participating buildings for this year’s June 4 and 5 event on May 16 at Shopify’s new 150 Elgin St. headquarters. The Ottawa-based ecommerce company will be one of the 19 new locations this year, and with a go-cart track and a slide in its kitchen – Mayor Jim Watson said it could very well turn out to be the most popular. Senior vice-president of engineering at Shopify, JeanMichel Lemieux, said the building is a bit more than just a race cart track, saying the 155,000-square-foot office space was indeed built differently, with the compa-

Two years ago Tandra was in a terrible car crash. She suffered a fractured clavicle, damage to her right leg, lacerations to her head, a ruptured ear drum and a traumatic brain injury.

Jean-Michel Lemieux ny keeping in mind what the best way to support creative and innovative workspace would be. Turns out it does include a slide and welcoming children – as Lemieux explained, the company is embracing how home and work-life mix. “It’s about integration of personality types,” Lemieux said. The company wanted to have a workspace designed that reflected how people work best – whether it is sometimes in a team envi-

Thanks to her determination and the great team at CHEO Tandra is defying the odds! Her parents were told she may never walk or talk but today she is walking, talking, dancing and so much more.

ronment, and sometimes on their own, he added. “We look forward to showing Ottawa what we’ve created,” Lemieux said. Shopify invited volunteers and hosts to have a sneakpeek to check out the office’s digs after the launch announcement. During Doors Open, Shopify will be offering guided tours only, with limited space. Aside from Shopify, the High Commission of Malaysia, the National Research Council Canada Uplands Wind Tunnel Facilities, Ottawa Jail Hostel, Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, TD Place and Jane’s Walk in Lowertown are a few of the new additions this year to the Doors OIpen lineup of welcoming venues. A full list of participating buildings, including which ones are fully-accessible, is available by visiting ottawa. ca/doorsopen.

Ottawa Neighbourhood Services closes doors President calls for storage, office space Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

After serving the capital for nearly 8o years, Ottawa Neighbourhood Services has officially closed their doors. Even though the charity received notice of eviction in early May, staff and volunteers were still devastated a week later when the locks were put on the doors, with the majority of their stock still inside the warehouse on Rideau Heights Drive in Nepean. “I was still hoping for a miracle,” said Patricia Lemieux, the president of ONS. Lemieux said volunteers and staff were scrambling to find places to hold nearly 2,700 kilograms of stock before the eviction deadline on May 10. But inconsistent access to the building presented a problem. Lemieux said organizers had hoped to hold a last big sale on the property on Saturday to try and get some much-needed funds and get rid of some of the stock they still had on shelves. “We had volunteers sitting out in the lot, waiting to sort but we couldn’t get in the building,” she said, barely holding back tears. A young woman even walked all the way to the warehouse from the a bus stop on Colonnade – the closest access to public transit – because she’s staying in a shelter and needed some stuff for her new house now that she’s been placed. “She said she would take a couch that we had out, but had no way to pick it up,” said Lemieux, who helped the girl find three bags of clothing – at no charge – and even dropped her off so she didn’t have to walk across the field with the heavy bags. The stars have been aligned against the charity it seems, who have been in debt for years, since two fires at the store front they rent

on City Centre forced them into the out-of-way spot on Rideau Heights Drive. It’s not the first time the charity has gotten behind on their rent. They owed $50,000 last summer, which was paid off by a generous donor, but it’s not going to happen this time. The charity is behind three months on their rent, which was $9,500 per month, but the landlord increased it when they went into arrears, Lemieux said. The total added up quickly and they’re now facing a bill of more than $53,000. Lemieux said the charity is also on the hook for landlord’s lawyer fees. Volunteer Maria Hawkins has taken the move by the landlord to heart – taking to Facebook to her outrage at the charity being charged for the removal of their stock. “Ottawa Neighbourhood Services will be billed for the removal and disposal of perfectly good donations,” she wrote on Facebook on May 10. “Your donations, my donations, community donations are just being swept away.” Johnathon Rapp, the executive director of Dovercourt Recreation Centre, said the city will lose a great service if ONS can’t find a new home.

Rapp worked with ONS to get a grant from United Way for the work the charity was doing to provide clothing and other household items to Syrian Refugees. Unfortunately, the United Way isn’t announcing the names of grant recipients until next Month. “I don’t know if they’ll be around by then,” Rapp said. Rapp, like Lemieux, said fraudulent clothing donations boxes across the city caused the charity to take a hit. “It really knocked the stuffing out of them,” he said. Lemieux is down, but not out, she urged the public to get a hold of staff through the email ottawaneighbourhoodservices@hotmail. com if they have any warehouse or storage space. Luckily, Gervais Towing has offered a temporary home for their tractor and other equipment. “We are very grateful to Gervais,” Lemieux said. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli is on the hunt for storage space and is hoping to be able to offer a space originally meant for Capital Welcomes – a charity that helps with providing Syrian Refugees with supplies and social opportunities. “They were offered two spots and I think will only need one,” he said.

Commission looks to province to fund low-income transit pass jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s transit commission will make a plea to the province to cover the cost of a discounted transit pass for low-income residents. The decision was made at the May 9 meeting, following the release of a staff report on the feasibility of a low-income pass. The report says that 31,000 of the city’s transit users fall under the low-income cut off, which is 15 per cent of the city’s population, staff said. The city already offers discounted passes for stu-

dents, people on disability and seniors. The discounts cost the city $16.3 million annually. The staff report estimated that 8,800 people are low income, but don’t fall into the categories, and therefore pay full price for their pass. Currently the full price is $103.75 a month, but the price is set to rise once the new fare table is rolled out next month. Trevor Haché, who spoke to the commission on behalf of the Healthy Transportation Coalition, said more than 2,400 people had signed their names to a petition in favour of a low-

OC Transpo GM John Manconi takes questions following the May 9 transit commission meeting. many as three days while she follows the sales; adding access to affordable transit is key to quality of life. As part of his pitch to the commission, Haché outlined some possible ways the city could find the funds to pay for a pass. The proposals included road user fees and increase in the transit levy for homeowners. Haché said the options could be sent out to the public in the form of a ranked ballot. As a result of a motion by commissioner Blair Crew,

the city will ask the province to fund the pass. General manager of community and social services, Aaron Burry support the move. “Transit is becoming an essential service and should be included in the basic needs, with shelter and food,” he said, adding the province is set to review the social assistance programs. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said there’s a will to have the pass, but the commission is unsure how to implement it. “Whichever route we choose, we don’t have the money,” Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper put forward a motion

directing staff to include options for a low-income pass in the fare table. The motion says the discount has to be between 25 and 60 per cent. Under Leiper’s motion, the money would come from adjusting other fares to make up the difference. Commission chair Stephen Blais took on the task, but did balk at the suggestion that seniors be made to pay the cost of a low-income pass, when it was suggested that being a senior doesn’t necessarily make one low income. “So you want to take away discounts for seniors to pay for a low income pass?” he asked. OC Transpo is set to release a new fare table next month, as part of the decision during the city’s budget process. General manager John Manconi also said they’d be doing a report to look at declining ridership levels. Manconi said transit ridership is down across the country and can be attributed to a host of things – including weather, gas prices and downtown vacancy rates. He promised the report next month would be a “deep dive” that looks at all factors. “It’s about 90 per cent of what the target is,” he said. .COM

income pass. “It’s the right thing to do,” Haché said before the meeting. The commission was presented with two options; one would discount the pass by 24 per cent – similar to the student pass, but still more than $80. The cost for that would be in the neighbourhood of $1.6 million. Statistics Canada defines the low-income cut off as lower than $20,000 in annual income for a single person. The number rises with the size of the family unit. The second option is the one favoured by the coalition. It would give people of low income a discount of 62 per cent – roughly the same as the community pass for people on the Ontario Disability Support Program. That option would cost $3.3 million. “We have to think about what kind of city we want to live in,” said Heather Stecher, who spoke to the commission of behalf of the Association of Communities for Reform Now. “People of low income should be able to participate in all institutions.” Stecher said going grocery shopping could take as

Mayor’s Report

By: Mayor Jim Watson

I have long been an advocate for reform at the National Capital Commission (NCC). Since being elected Mayor in 2010 it has become more apparent to me that change is required or else risk hindering the progress of our great city. Until recently, most of the NCC’s board members were neither from the National Capital Region nor chosen by its residents, and that should not be the case. As a first step, in 2014, Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin and I wrote the federal government to make the case for better municipal representation on the National Capital Commission (NCC). On April 11, 2016, we signed the Declaration which welcomed the Mayor of our respective Councils, to participate as non-voting members on the NCC Board of Directors. I was delighted to be able to bring my voice to the table, and it is my hope that this change will lead to stronger federal-municipal collaboration towards our common goal of building an even better national capital region. On April 28, we attended our first Board meeting, during which the Board voted on the LeBreton Flats proposal. The highest ranked bid was revealed and it was selected by unanimous decision. IllumiNATION LeBreton, by the Rendezvous Lebreton Group, was chosen. RendezVous Lebreton will feature an impressive Events Centre, which will also be the new home of the Ottawa Senators. It will also include a large residential component with affordable housing, four-season accessible public spaces as well as commercial, office and retail spaces. The proposal offers important community benefits, while maintaining historical features and our strong culture. RendezVous Lebreton will be accessible by two LRT stations, Bayview and Pimisi, and promotes connectivity with its surrounding, including the City of Gatineau. The City of Ottawa is very pleased to work with the National Capital Commission on this very exciting development. My recent appointment to the NCC Board of Directors will facilitate a crucial partnership which will this monumental project become an iconic staple in the City of Ottawa. Amongst many others, topics which were discussed during the Board meeting included the approval of federal land use on which the Memorial to Victims of Communism will be built on, as well as updates on NCC’s initiatives for Canada’s 150th Anniversary in 2017 such as Red Bull crashed Ice, which will see Cross Downhill world champions crash and glide through the Château Laurier, Rideau Canal locks beside Major’s Hill Park. My first NCC Board meeting was an exciting, positive and fruitful one, and I look forward to continue building an open dialogue with the NCC and a better City for residents, visitors and tourists alike.

Watson says Presto payments could become political issue Negotiations could see rise in fees for city Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

When questioned about the possibility of a hike in the cost of using the Presto payment system on city buses, Mayor Jim Watson said the issue may have to turn political. While Watson said the system has been working well, he said he didn’t want the city to be treated as a cash cow by Metrolinx and Presto to fund their operations. The city’s 10-year contract with the company ends in October and requires a two-per cent commission be paid on each fare. With the end of the contract, will come an increase in the commission, it’s just not clear how much. “We think a reasonable fee schedule should be established and we’ve put forward proposals,” Watson said.

Watson said he plans to travel to Toronto at the end of the month and will meet with several ministers – in-

cluding Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Luca. “Sometimes these issues can be solved by staff, but sometimes they turn political,” he said.

“We have let them know very clearly that we want to make sure Presto remains affordable for our passengers, first and foremost, and secondly, for the city.” Watson said the deal has

had the effect of creating a monopoly. If OC Transpo doesn’t use the proprietary payment system, the city isn’t eligible for the millions in funding the city receives annually from provincial gas

tax transfers. Presto was launched in the capital in 2012. There were some hiccups at first, after a pilot run found some widespread issues with a new type of card reader.

Library board approves plan for public engagement Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The Ottawa Public Library Board approved a plan for public engagement on May 10 over the development of a new main branch in the city’s core. The city has retained PACE – the same consultant the Ottawa Hospital used for its expansion plans of the Civic campus. The first round of consultations is set to take to take place on May 16 at city hall. Library CEO Danielle McDonald said the process was “sufficiently agile” to take staff through the city-building initiative. “We are continuing to build public trust in the process,” she said. The May consultations will speak to site criteria. “We will ask the public what’s important to them,” McDonald said, adding public opinion will be weighted with best practices and expert opinions. Participants will be given two weeks to fill out a questionnaire following the consultation. The city has an ongoing call for sites, which is open until May 20.

MINIMUM

Two consultations will be held in June – one at city hall and one at the Library and Archives Canada, because staff are still doing a dual track process – preparing for a standalone facility and a joint one with Library and Archives Canada. Library board chairman Tim Tierney said he’s hoping the beginning of the public input period will help allay some of the concerns residents had about a fixed site process. “I am a visual person, so now we can look ahead to the next marker,” he said. When asked about the possibil-

ity of an international design competition, McDonald said it’s too early to say. “We want it to have all the programs and services we need and be beautiful and accessible,” she said. “That’s the objective. But how we get there, we will have to determine that.” A short list of potential sites will come back to the board on July 12. The board will have what McDonald called the decision package – the partnership, financing and project delivery method, including the site – in December and then they’ll make their recommendation to city council.

Vanilla-spiked strawberry danish Fresh strawberry danishes are easy to make using frozen puff pastry. We’ve added cardamom, a classic Scandinavian spice to the glaze. Preparation time: 2 minutes, Cooking time: 5 minutes, Cooling time: 30 minutes, Baking time: 20 minutes. Serves: 8 Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 mL) chopped strawberries • 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar • 2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla • 1 sheet (225 g) frozen butter puff pastry, thawed • 1 egg yolk • 1 tbsp (15 mL) water • 1/4 cup (50 mL) icing sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) milk • Pinch ground cardamom Preparation instructions

In medium saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar; cook over medium heat stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Mash with potato

masher until just little bits remain. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water until smooth. Whisk into strawberry mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla. Refrigerate until fully cooled, about 30 minutes.Meanwhile, unroll puff pastry, leaving on parchment paper, set on baking sheet. Trim to form a 10- x 8-inch (25 x 20 cm) rectangle. Position pastry with 8-inch (20 cm) side towards you. Starting at bottom right corner of pastry, using a sharp knife, diagonally cut 3-inch (7.5 cm) strips of pastry, about 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide, right to the top of pastry (there might be a tiny triangle of leftover pastry at top, simply discard). Repeat with left side of pastry. Refrigerate pastry on baking sheet while strawberries cool. In small bowl, whisk egg yolk with water; set aside.

Spoon strawberry filling down centre of pastry from top to bottom, it should be about 2-inches (5 cm) wide. Starting with left strip, fold one strip over strawberry filling to cover. Then fold one right strip over to cover strawberry filling and part of the left strip. Continue folding left then right strips, right to the bottom. Pastry should resemble a braid. Brush with egg yolk mixture. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Cool completely before icing. In medium bowl, whisk icing sugar with milk, remaining vanilla and cardamom. Add a drop or two of milk if glaze is too thick; drizzle over danish. Slice and serve.

Back to the Future party fundraises for QCH unit NEWS

Connected to your community

Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

The Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation is closer to raising the $1.5 million needed to help pay for its new Acute Care for the Elderly Unit after a Bells Corners dinner party that took revellers back to 1955.

Organized by a group of west Ottawa city councillors – known as the ACE Ambassadors for their support of the hospital’s new unit – and inspired by the 1985 film Back to the Future, the Enchantment Under the Sea fundraiser brought more than 100 supporters to 1951 West Kitchen and Bar on

Robertson Road on May 11 to raise funds for the new unit. “It was a huge success,” said College ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who portrayed the film’s main character, Marty McFly, that night. “We don’t have the financial numbers yet … but there were a lot of people there

and tickets were $100 each,” he said the day after the event was held. Along with ticket sales, proceeds from silent and live auctions at the event will also go toward the hospital’s new $12-million unit, which, once completed, will be the second of its kind in Ontario. In early 2014, the Ministry of Health approved $8.9-million in funding for a 34-bed inpatient unit at the Nepeanbased hospital. Designed to help elderly patients who are facing more complex challenges than the general population, the new unit will use a holistic approach when treating illness and injury. While elderly patients with multiple illnesses are often treated on a per-illness basis, resulting in multiple trips to the hospital, the new unit’s staff will address geriatric patients’ multiple and complex illnesses more efficiently, while also working to maintain patients’ quality of life and physical and mental ability. According to the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s website, 14 per cent of the population in west Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley is over age 65, but that number could double over the next 20 years, rising at a rate of 3.5 per cent annually. “We have a huge aging community in my ward and the daily trips to the doctor each time for a different thing is something that really takes a toll on people,” Chiarelli said. “And if they can go in and have a complete program created to help them recover,

Embracing the Back to the Future theme of the May 11 fundraiser for Queensway Carleton Hospital’s new elderly care unit, Bells Corners BIA president Alex Lewis, left, and College ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli dressed up as Emmet “Doc” Brown and Marty McFly, two the movie’s principal characters, and posed with a DeLorean sports car. that’s going to make it much more fun to be a community member.” After provincial funding and corporate sponsorship, the public is responsible for gathering the remaining $1.5-million needed through grassroots fundraising, something the hospital’s supporters have been working toward for the past year. “It’s not the biggest part of the cost,” Chiarelli said. “But sometimes it’s the part that’s the hardest to get.” As serious as the cause is, organizers of Enchantment Under the Sea kept the event light hearted. Bells Corners BIA president Alex Lewis donned a grey wig and a white radiation suit to become Emmett “Doc” Brown, the fictional inventor of Back to the Future’s DeLorean

sports car time machine, and Lewis and Chiarelli spent much of the evening posing for photos outside with a DeLorean. Among other past and present west Ottawa community leaders at the dinner party were Kanata ward Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, former Nepean mayors Andrew Haydon and Mary Pitt, and Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation CEO Melanie Adams. Adams said at the event that she was moved by the strength of community support for the new unit. “I have goose bumps,” she said. “Because you don’t often get at a community hospital a rallying like this around a particular cause.”

“A cut of 22.5 full-time equivalent positions could mean as many as 75 members are changing positions,” she said, adding some staff are part-time, or cover off more than one position and split their hours. And it’s not just social workers and education assistants Akehurst is worried about. She said that cuts to office administration positions will have an impact as well. She expressed concern about staff being moved around to accommodate the cuts and support new students. Despite the influx of refugees to the city, staff recommended cutting four ESL staff in March. Akehurst said that the new students will have a slate of needs that

will require the work of psychologists and social workers, but those are among the positions being cut. Donna Blackburn, the trustee who represents parts of Nepean and Barrhaven, said that the board will still be able to give students a good education. “Any time we cut I find it’s problematic and maybe some of those positions will be saved, but I’m confident moving forward we can continue to give our students a good education,” she said. Despite this, she said some of the cuts could have been avoided. “In my personal opinion, we wouldn’t be cutting as much if we hadn’t made wrong-headed decisions earlier in the year,” she said. “For instance, when we threw out the staff recommendation about the before and after care … had we gone with the staff recommendation we would have had $400,000 more in revenue from the before and after care program. So when you take $400,000 you translate that into what we’re looking at, that’s eight educational assistants.” But Seward said the board has the option of rehiring those positions if they find they can’t meet demand once the new students start. She also said staff have built in an extra 100 students into estimates. “I am confident we are prepared,” she said.

Akehurst said that while the numbers don’t seem that bad, the changes could be more widespread based on the nature of the employees.

the 50:50 English and French kindergarten program. Another two full-time educational assistants will be added to support the new kindergarten program. The cuts will include the reduction of three educational assistants, the loss of almost the equivalent of one full-time social worker, the loss of a psychologist and a general reduction of 13 full-time educational assistant positions. There will also be a decrease of five full-time positions, but the report says six new custodial positions will be added. “Staff has carefully considered the needs of students and changing demands upon the department as we continue to implement changes to our service delivery and geographic model. There will be some impact on caseloads in social work and psychology but student needs will be met,” the report reads. The job cuts are just the latest in a slew of planned cuts for next year’s budget. The board approved cutting 73 positions in March. Nancy Akehurst, the president of the education support bargaining unit of the Ottawa Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, said that support staff is already cut to the bone. “These cuts will have a huge impact on the students and the community,” she said.

Proposed job cuts won’t hinder the public school board’s ability to handle the influx of Syrian refugees starting in the 2016-2017 school year, says board chair Shirley Seward. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board was faced with a budget shortfall at the beginning of their annual budgeting process that amounted to $14.4 million. The first phase of cuts, which dealt with in house programming, led to increased fees for before and after school child care and a change in French instruction for primary grades. There were also some

changes to the learning disabilities program. Those changes generated $5.1 million. In March, the board approved a series of job cuts that saved another $3.9 million. Which means there’s still a $5.4 million shortfall. The staff report says the budget is part of a three-year effort to get spending more aligned with funding levels from the Ministry of Education. The last round of cuts will mean a loss of five non-unionized administrative positions for a total savings of $680,000. A rejigging of learning support services will include the increase of two full-time equivalent speech and language pathologists to support

Host a Lemonade Stand Make a Difference! On Saturday, June 4th hundreds of local kids will be helping to paint the town yellow.

desserts including chocolate cupcakes and cake pops – all decorated with a splash of yellow.

They’ll be taking part in the 4th annual Lemonade Standemonium. It’s a fundraiser where kids host lemonade stands in their community and raise awareness and funds for local cancer care.

“It was very heartfelt to have so many friends, family and neighbours stopping by to support our lemonade stand – it created a real sense of community and was very empowering for our kids to feel they were making a difference,” explains Fraser.

For Emmerson Markwick, 6, and her big brother Daxton, 8, the Lemonade Standemonium has become a beloved annual event. This is the third year that they have participated in honour of all of their family members who have faced a cancer diagnosis, including their 9 year old cousin Bridget, who was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a rare form of kidney cancer, in 2013. “It was very serious and devastating for our whole family,” explains the kids’ mom, Trina Fraser. “It was important to us to do something to help. Thankfully, after two battles with cancer, Bridget is now doing really well”. To help kick-start this year’s campaign, Daxton and Emmerson hosted their lemonade stand a little early. Along with fresh regular and cranberry/raspberry lemonade, they treated passers-by to yummy PROCEEDS BENEFIT

Over the last three years more than 1,000 stands have registered in the Lemonade Standemonium from right across the region including Orleans, Barrhaven, Kanata, Metcalfe, Manotick, Carp, Stittsville, Calabogie, Renfrew and Kemptville. Through their efforts, the kids have raised more than $190,000 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of Cardel Homes, Palladium Insurance and Accora Village, 100% of the funds raised at each stand have been put to work supporting local cancer research and Cancer Coaching. You can register your stand today at www.ottawacancer.ca/lemonade or contact 613.247.3527. Together we are putting the squeeze on cancer!

Marguerite’s show and tell quashed by Emerson and Cecil

here was no such thing as “show and tell” at the Northcote School. There was no room for something as frivolous as bringing something from home to talk about in front of the rest of the pupils. Once we settled in our seats, our whole day, except for a 15 minute recess, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and of course our hour for lunch, we were stuck to our seats like flypaper. The truth of the matter was none of us had much to show off, even if there was something called ‘show and tell’. With the exception of bad Marguerite, of course. If it wasn’t brand new hair ribbons laying across her Shirley Temple curls like a folded up Renfrew Mercury, it was

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories ankle sox with real lace on the cuffs. And then one day, just before Miss Crosby came out on the stoop to ring the big brass bell, in rolled Marguerite on a brand new bicycle. No one ever rode a bicycle to the Northcote School, not even cousins Two or Three Mile Herman, who came all the way from the Barr Line. The Northcote Side Road, like a washboard and full of ruts, meant that anyone who would even attempt to

ride a bicycle on it would be hard pressed to get to school before the nine o’clock bell. And there was bad Marguerite who lived just a spit away, riding a brand new bicycle. It was bright green and it had wide tires, which my brother Emerson called balloon tires, and it had a little bell on the handlebars, which Marguerite kept ringing all the way into the schoolyard. A new bicycle!! Imagine!! We were taught at the Lutheran Sunday school

CAT OF THE WEEK CURIOUS LADY “TUMBLEWEED”

that envy was a mortal sin, but that day I came close to breaking that commandment. Marguerite leaned the bicycle against the side of the stoop, wiped the fenders with the cuff of her sweater, and made it clear to all of us standing gawking at it, that it would be curtains for anyone who laid a hand on it! Even Miss Crosby’s eyes were like saucers, but of course she said nothing, ever careful not to show favouritism to any one pupil. Marguirite asked, during the morning, if she could go to the windowsill and sharpen her pencil. We knew perfectly well there wasn’t a thing wrong with her pencil. What she wanted to do was take a peek outside to have a look at her bicycle! All went well into the day. Morning recess passed. No one mentioned the new bicycle. Our lunch was eaten outside, and still no

one talked about the bicycle. Marguirite was plenty annoyed, you could tell just by the way she was tossing those hateful store-dyed curls around. I could see my brother Emerson and his pal Cecil snickering over by the back fence, but they never went near the bicycle either. Afternoon recess came and went. Cecil put up his hand, with two fingers, which meant he had to use the outside privy, and it would take longer than if he only held up one finger. Miss Crosby nodded, and Cecil got up from his desk, nodded at Emerson, and went out the door. Finally, the big CPR clock on the wall showed it was four o’clock. Emerson and Cecil were the first to get out the door, and they headed right for the gate, where they looked like they had just robbed a bank. Marguirite wasn’t far behind. She took one look at her bicycle and her scream

could be heard in Admaston! Velma, Joyce and I ran to see what all the commotion was about, and there were those two big balloon tires, as flat as pancakes. “Must have a slow leak,” Cecil said, as he wandered over from the gate. “Happens all the time on our old Model T,” Emerson offered. “Guess you’ll just have to push and drag it home.” When I last saw Marguirite and her bicycle she hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards. The bicycle was big and heavy, the road was full of ruts, and even though she lived close to the school, and we were three and a half miles, Velma guessed we’d beat her home.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your tendency this week is to escape into your mind and imagination. While that’s fine for a little while, pretty soon you have to come back down to earth. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, people are pulling you in all sorts of directions this week. They each want you to share in their good times, but there’s only so much of you that can go around. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you generally like to keep your feet on the ground, this week you are looking to be a little adventurous. Let someone entice you into a whimsical journey. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a desire to bring more calm into your life could have you seeking out a vacation or just a respite from daily life. Take the time to unwind and you’ll come back recharged. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this week may prove to be a little intense, but you’ll muster the energy and strength to push on through. Balancing fun and some workrelated responsibilities is key. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Practicality seems to disappear when you have your mind on enjoyable activities, Virgo. Find a way to be both fun and practical and you will be set.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Well-laid plans are the cornerstone of a successful week, Libra. Everything will go smoothly, but most days should pass without a hitch. Enjoy the brief respite. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, expect a lot of action this week. There’s no slowing down as you check off each item on your to-do list. Others may have difficulty keeping up with you. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, live creative fantasies this week because you might not have another chance to indulge for a while. This is the break you have been seeking for some time. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Honesty is always the best policy, Capricorn. This will become obvious when a past untruth you shared comes back to haunt you. Confess now to save face. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You have the physical stamina to accomplish many things, Aquarius. This week is bound to be one with a lot of progress. Make a list now of what you want to accomplish. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, be patient with the people around you. You may be fast to grasp a concept, but it could take others a little while longer. 0519
