In a phone interview with Metroland Media, MacLaren said he made the decision earlier in the week to switch parties and planned to announce his move on Tuesday.

Road services see cash infusion to deal with potholes

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A motion by Mayor Jim Watson will provide a muchneeded top-up for the road services budget this year, as record snowfalls, multiple freeze-thaw cycles, and other wacky weather patterns have created potholes everywhere.

‘Do we do an audit on the quality of asphalt?’

RIVER COUN. RILEY BROCKINGTON

The motion was approval by council on May 24 and will see a $2.5-million infusion for road repair and another $400,000 added for pothole repair.

Chair of the city’s transportation committee Coun.

Keith Egli said there have been 148,000 potholes filled already this season.

The money will come

from the city’s one-time unforeseen circumstance budget, Watson said.

River Coun. Riley Brockington acknowledged the poor weather, but said he didn’t think it was totally to blame for the poor road conditions.

“Do we do an audit on the quality of asphalt?” he asked city staff.

Planning manager Stephen Willis said there are a lot of factors that come into play when talking about a road that needs resurfacing.

It could be the age of the road, the amount of traffic that uses that particular roadway, weather, and a number of other things that necessitate the need for repairs.

Manager of road services Kevin Wylie said staff plan to use the extra cash to attack areas where there are clusters of potholes.

“We will get crews to grind the area out and lay hot asphalt, it should be a more permanent solution,” he said.

Metroland file photo

Due to the high number of freeze and thaw cycles this spring, council voted in favour of a $2.5 million cash infusion to road services on May 24. There will also be another $400,000 added to fix potholes.

MacLaren criticizes French language, alludes to secret PC agenda in video comments about bilingualism and alluding to a secret agenda by the PC party.

ism because then the PCs wouldn’t get elected.

“We have lots of things that we’re going to do that we won’t say to people before the election, because we won’t get elected,” MacLaren says in the recording.

He said the PC party was aware of the video when it was first recorded.

“I'm surprised that they seem to think that’s an issue,” MacLaren said. “The PC party staff at the time called me and made me aware that (the video) was recorded and made public and were a little concerned about it so it was taken down. But they were aware of it and weren’t overly concerned.”

‘He has disappointed those who have put their trust in him’: Brown Continued from page 6

“Once again, Jack MacLaren has been caught making comments that are unacceptable,” said Brown. “I have expelled Jack MacLaren from the PC caucus. The expulsion is indefinite. He will not be a PC candidate in the next provincial election.”

Brown said in his statement that MacLaren’s values and those of the PC party aren’t in line.

“This video is part of a pattern with Jack MacLaren,” said Brown. “Clearly the real Jack MacLaren is the one we heard making derogatory comments toward women at the Carp Fair Men’s Night, who published fake testimonials praising himself from fake constituents on his website, and who came out against a zero-tolerance policy against sexual abuse.”

The PC party leader ordered MacLaren to undergo sensitivity training and stay away from Queen’s Park last year after the local MPP made a crude joke about his federal counterpart, KanataCarleton MP Karen McCrimmon, at a Carp Fair

MacLaren was also removed as the eastern Ontario representative in the Conservative caucus after posting fake testimonials on his website.

“Each time Jack MacLaren is caught making disparaging or insensitive remarks about others he asks for forgiveness and a second chance.

And a third chance. And a fourth,” said Brown. “Each and every time he has disap-

pointed those who have put their trust in him.”

Brown said he’s working to build a modern and inclusive PC party, “one where it doesn't matter where you're from, who you love, where you worship, what language you speak, or how much money you make.” And MacLaren doesn’t fit.

“Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that Jack MacLaren does not share these values,” Brown said.

RUN IN 2018

MacLaren, who will continue as MPP for CarletonMississippi Mills until the next election, said he will run for the seat in Kanata-Car-

leton in 2018.

“I will seek the job of being MPP, again, but as a member of the Trillium Party,” he

said. “I look forward to the race and to that campaign.”

He said the Trillium Party’s policies on items such as

getting rid of the carbon tax, re-opening the sexual education policy debate and lowering hydro rates drew him to his decision.

“We’ve had flip-flopping on issues like the sex-ed policy,” said MacLaren. “That’s a terrible way to handle things.

That should be opened up to people and if people want to discuss the issue of sex ed and open it up for review, we should do that.”

MacLaren said he’s received “a lot of support” from his constituents for the switch.

“I'm getting tremendous feedback that this is the right thing to do,” he said.

MacLaren is the first and only sitting MPP for the Trillium Party.

Trillium Party founder Bob Yaciuk said there’s too much whipping in the major parties.

“I can’t express how thrilled I am to have Jack come on to the Trillium Party,” said Yaciuk. “Jack ... has been frustrated he can’t get the views of his constituents into legislature.”

OPINION

Connected to your community

Who has the last word?

I

t’s likely that many Ontarians breathed a sigh of relief when the provincial government announced its plan to scrap the Ontario Municipal Board.

The OMB has often been perceived as too friendly to property developers. To many people, the board was quick to grab its rubber stamp and approve developments that didn’t fit with existing neighbourhoods.

In theory, up until now, the City of Ottawa and other municipalities in Ontario decide what gets built within their borders. But decisions by city and town councils could be appealed to the OMB. Change is never easy to deal with – especially close to home – but appeals to the board have often seemed like bad movie sequels: predictable, but with unhappy endings.

The running theme has been developers who ask for unappealing elements – think of massive towers and postage-stamp parks – and then settle for slightly less height and slightly larger greenspaces. Cynics have to ask if the developer asked for the moon in order to get approval for their

preferred design because it was slightly less awful than the original request.

And in the background, the threat of an expensive OMB appeal kept city and town councils – and community groups – wary of holding back large-scale developments.

A new, less-powerful Local Planning Appeal Tribunal will take the place of the OMB. It’s not clear how the tribunal will work, or what kind of teeth it may have.

Will municipalities really be able to control their own growth? And what happens if a city or town council votes to stop all growth, or a council is filled with councillors who want highrises on every street?

The face of Ontario cities and towns could be stunted (along with construction jobs) or rebuilt ad nauseam depending on the tribunal’s decisions.

It’s clear there should be an appeal process if a property owner thinks a council has been unreasonable, but every case is different. Some development is OK, some doesn’t fit in.

Who has the last word? We don’t know just yet.

Sens are winners even if nation does not embrace them

O

ur town is under attack from across the nation.

Foolishly, we had dreams of our Senators becoming Canada’s team, after other Canadianbased hockey teams such as the Toronto Maple Leafs fell by the wayside early. But we should have known.

An Ottawa team could never be Canada’s team. Ottawa is the capital, for heaven’s sake. Bad things happen in capitals, according to those who don’t live in them, and even according to some who do. If you live elsewhere and you see “Ottawa” in a headline, it doesn’t mean our safe and beautiful city. It means the federal government. The odds are that at any given moment, about half of the people, if not more, don’t like the federal government and the word “Ottawa” is not likely to make them feel positive, even if it refers to a hockey team.

Mind you, it might be that nobody

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in this country of strong regional loyalties and rivalries could really be Canada’s team. Provinces and cities are jealous of each other, have always been.

Given this, who could be Canada’s team. Toronto? Perhaps not. Montreal? Not as long as there are Torontonians. Vancouver? Maybe if it showed some interest in Canada. Edmonton couldn’t be Calgary’s team and Calgary couldn’t be Edmonton’s.

That leaves Winnipeg, which could possibly be Canada’s team at some point, because nobody hates Winnipeg, even if few visit it. Winnipeg has

to get a better team, though, for it to be Canada’s.

We have had that better team in Ottawa, but have not received the intense gratitude that we feel is our due.

In addition to all the other negative stereotypes, we have had to fight the perception, gleefully fostered by our enemies, that we who live in this city don’t care about our team, don’t care about the Senators.

Attendance figures have been cited in support of this argument. A couple of Senators home playoff games were not sold out, and people couldn’t wait to make much of that. Some plausible explanations have been presented, mostly by Ottawans. They have to do with the local economy, the location of the arena, competing events (hey, a big professional soccer game the same night as Game 6), jacked-up prices (even for parking!) and antagonism on the part of some directed at the owner.

But our enemies are not convinced.

This wouldn’t happen in any other NHL city, they say, with no evidence presented to back that up. And then the old Ottawa stereotypes are trotted out. We are boring (and play boring hockey, say the folks from the cities that either didn’t make the playoffs or departed earlier). We are not a real hockey town (like, say, Phoenix).

Worst of all, we are a government town, a designation that implies all manner of apathy and inertia, if not outright evil.

All this because a few hundred people didn’t fight the traffic on a couple of nights.

It is a mug’s game to get drawn into that argument. To fight the accusation of apathy, you could cite the thousands who show up on race weekend, both to race and to support the racers.

That would only be used as evidence that we are insufficiently devoted to EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

Municipalities at forefront of battling climate change

T

his week, mayors and city councillors from across Canada will be gathering in Ottawa for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) annual trade show and conference. Although it may sound like a yawn to those outside the inner circle, it’s an important opportunity for Canada’s local leaders to connect and try to tackle some of the biggest issues that impact us as a nation.

“It’s like speed dating for best practices,” says Windsor city councillor Irek Kusmierczyk, who is attending the four-day event at the Shaw Centre.

Canada, like the rest of the world, is facing many challenges of urbanization. Within the next 20 years, it’s expected

Planning and Environmental Assessment Study Open House #1

Monday, June 5, 2017 Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Place, K2V 1A2 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.)

OC Transpo routes: 92, 96, 167, 118 Parking is available The City of Ottawa has initiated this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan to extend Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Moodie Drive to Kanata. This Planning and EA Study will define a corridor for the future expansion of the City’s LRT network to Kanata. Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

The study will examine LRT corridor options for a broader area to the north and south of Highway 417. The outcome will be a Recommended Plan that identifies the LRT corridor, station locations, and supporting facilities, and determines an implementation strategy based on ridership and affordability.

The EA portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects.

The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts.

Information on the Kanata LRT Planning and EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/ KanataLRT or Ottawa.ca/kanatatlr. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, 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 call or email the project manager below before the event.

Although participants at the FCM conference will tackle issues like opioids, innovation and job creation, greener cities is certainly top of mind for many at this conference, particularly given recent events in the National Capital Region.

Windsor’s Kusmierczyk says the flooding in Ottawa,

Gatineau and elsewhere gives municipal leaders a timely opportunity to talk about their integral role in mitigating the effects of climate change at the local level.

Last September, Windsor was slammed with massive flooding due to rainfall.

“Our ward got hit with what was described as back-to-back 100 year storms,” says Kusmierczyk, who went doorto-door for 12 straight hours to talk one-on-one with his constituents.

“They were devastated,” he says, noting it puts the onus on him and others he’ll meet this weekend to look at municipal development and zoning, even converting parks to serve dual roles as retention basins as colleagues in Toronto have done since the floods there in 2013.

“We need to get real about flooding and severe weather patterns that are the norm,” says Kusmierczyk. “It’s the great challenge for Canadian cities.”

LETTER

Everyone has the right to read remarkably, CNIB (the Canadian National Institute for the Blind) has remained the largest producer of accessible books in Canada for nearly a century, despite being a charity.

Imagine not being able to walk into a library or bookstore and pick up any book you want. Imagine being in high school or university and not being able to read the textbook you’re given.

Imagine hearing your friends talking about the latest bestseller and knowing you can’t read it. That’s not accessibility. That’s exclusion.

What Canada needs is a long-term strategy to ensure equitable access to books for all citizens, regardless of disability. This National AccessAbility Week, I hope we can have this conversation together and ask our government to create a solution to ensure everyone’s right to read is upheld.

To the editor

Everyone has the right to read. No matter where you call home, we all have the right to read and access information so that we can be truly included in our community, society and culture.

The problem is, the right to read isn’t upheld universally. In 2017, community members with print disabilities like blindness still have very limited access to books. In honour of National AccessAbility Week (May 28 to June 3), I’m saying here and now that this needs to change.

There are more than three million Canadians who can’t read traditional print because of a disability. These people rely on alternative formats like braille, audio and accessible e-text to be able to read books, newspapers and other published content. But only a small fraction of the books printed in Canada each year are made available in these accessible formats. And

BUSINESS PARK LINE

Jenna Sudds, president and executive director of the Kanata North Business Association, said there are two main reasons to bring a light-rail line to the high tech park.

AUTO 59,800 KM

2012

Residents are invited to have their say on the future light-rail transit to Kanata during an open house scheduled for Monday, June 5.

An environmental assessment has begun for the stretch of LRT from the future Moodie Station to the Canadian Tire Centre, which will help determine the route and identify any potential issues, said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

“We don’t have any money to build it yet — those things are very expensive — but we want to be able to move quickly if there's more federal or provincial money that might be available,” she said.

The federal government and City of Ottawa announced last year it would split the estimated $3 million cost for the Kanata LRT environmental assessment thanks to a fasttracked Stage 2 from Tunney’s Pasture to Moodie Station, which is set for service by 2023.

Just a few years ago, city staff thought they wouldn’t even start to plan

an LRT extension from the Bayshore Shopping Centre to Kanata until 2031.

Mayor Jim Watson has said he wants to see a seamless transition from the completion of Stage 2 to work beginning on the line to Kanata.

Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley said he’s interested in seeing what the route options are and exploring “new and emerging technologies that may bring the cost down.”

He said the meeting is “going to be a first look” for the area.

“I would encourage everyone to come and see,” he said. “Maybe there are some things city staff aren’t taking into consideration.”

Staff have preferred routes and stops in mind but nothing has been set in stone, said Wilkinson, adding she hasn’t seen a report on the preferred routes.

“It doesn’t mean they’ll stay there,” she said.

“There's talk about how do we get to the business park from there and various other things.”

Business association wants light-rail line to Kanata tech park feasible,” the councillor said.

“LRT is not meant to go to every place. It’s to be a spine, then you need to have good connections to the other places.”

But nothing is off the table at the moment.

“I don’t have a closed mind to it at all,” said Wilkinson.

“Part of the whole thing is how do you serve the most people in this area.”

The councillor said she’d like to see a station in the Greenbelt to serve Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean.

“It could be a stop that’s only used when there’s an event on,” she said. “They’ll look at things like that.”

Continued from page 13

First, the park employs thousands of people, which has increased the amount of vehicle traffic in the area.

“Studies have shown that the interchange at (Highway) 417 and March Road is the busiest intersection in the city,” she said.

“There are 21,000 well paying jobs in the park currently, with an estimated growth of an additional 4,000 jobs in the immediate future and I want to ensure people can access these high paying jobs.”

Secondly, development increases along transit corridors.

“There is room to grow in the Kanata north tech park,” said Sudds. “(It) has potential for even more value to Kanata north and beyond if the infrastructure was in place to support it’s continued growth.”

Wilkinson met with employees in the Kanata North Business Park ahead of the June 5 open house and

WILD WEST JAMBOREE !

0 0 ,0 0 5 $ e s i a r o t s u g n i p l e h r o f u o y Thank On Thursday, May 18, over 230 people came out to the 3rd Annual Wild West Jamboree in support of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre as we prepare to build an all-new 30-bed home.

We ate. We talked. We danced. We rode Jed, the mechanical bull. More importantly, we left with hope for the future of our youth.

A great big thank you goes out to everyone who supported a brighter future for at-risk youth and families.

THANK YOU TO THE SPONSORS OF THE WILD WEST JAMBOREE 2017!

WHAT IS THE DAVE SMITH YOUTH TREATMENT CENTRE?

Two rural south Ottawa stops will be starring in a summer farm tour to mark Canada’s 150th birthday. North Gower Grains, pictured here, and Velthius Farms in Osgoode will be among four stops during the ‘Back to the Future: Farm Technology Tour’ on August 19.

Rural Ottawa will be a starring attraction in Canada 150 celebrations during a farm technology tour that has been newly added to the lineup of Ottawa 2017 highlights.

Billed as the “Back to the Future: Farm Technology Tour”, the rural tourism event held to mark Canada’s 150th birthday will feature the latest in agricultural technology.

“Participants will see the best of what agricultural technology has to offer and learn about the innovation that brings common food and plants from farm to home,” the city said in its May 25 announcement of the Agri 150 experiences made by the Ottawa 2017 Bureau, Mayor Jim Watson and lead partner

CIBC. North Gower Grains’ large grain elevators will give tour-goers an idea of how much grain is grown in the Ottawa region.

Bilingual and Englishonly tours on August 19 will also include the Fallowfield Tree Farm in Stittsville where participants will learn how to transform their lawns and town parks from a sunny field to a shady arbour with the aid of a large mechanical tree spade.

Then it’s off to the Schouten Cornerview Farms in Richmond for a tour of an anaerobic digester that will showcase “cutting edge” recycling, the city said in a statement.

Velthius Farms, which is a Holstein farm in Osgoode, will also be part of the tour where visitors will get up close to milking cows.

The bilingual tour is from 11:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. and the English-only tour is from 12:45 to 7 p.m. Tour shuttles will start out from OC Transpo’s Strandherd Park & Ride, located at 3680 Strandherd Dr. in Barrhaven.

A “Secret Eats Tour — West Carleton-March” has also been added to the rural tourism showcase for August 20. Visitors will have the opportunity to snack at four stops in the West CarletonMarch Ward. Coun. Eli El-Chantiry will host that event.

Tickets for both were expected to go on sale May 26 at 10 a.m. The cost of the farm tour is $80 plus tax and service charges, while the Secret Eats Tour is priced at $40, plus tax and service charges. They can be purchased online at ottawa2017. ca.

Parishioners not pleased with Byron Linear Park plan May 23 could be attributed to a flyer posted at the church, asking members to voice their displeasure with the project.

“I believe … that we are going to work this out and find something that fits the bill,” he said, adding the city is working with the church to make sure its own parking lot is optimized for members.

“We can help with some of the challenges they are having now,” he said.

“Yes, things will change, but they don’t have to be worse. They can be neutral or better.”

At the same time, Taylor has launched a survey to address some of the traffic and access concerns in the Woodpark neighbourhood.

The area has complained about cutthrough traffic and he also wants to make sure the community isn’t cut off from Richmond Road.

“We want to come to common

ground about all of the traffic options we’ve been talking about for the Woodpark side,” Taylor said.

Earlier feedback was used to clarify some of the options for the neighbourhood. There are now five different options for the community to consider and residents of the Woodpark neighbourhood have until June 16 to participate.

An outcome could be presented as early as July.

The plan to expand the Byron Linear Park and close access to Byron Avenue from Woodroffe isn’t hitting the right note with parishioners from Our Lady of Fatima.

“This is not going to work. You are going to ruin the parish and hurt the community very badly,” said Father Jeffrey King, a former priest with the church, citing the 1,600 people that attend services every Sunday.

The comments came at the city’s final public consultation on the Byron Park design, which drew about 200 people to the first of two sessions.

The plan calls for increasing the park’s total area by 500 square metres, reducing the pavement by 10,500 square metres, adding 1,800 square metres of sidewalks, adding 1,200 square metres of pathways, 50 lights and adding 45 per cent more trees.

The park will be redone in conjunction with the city’s Stage 2 LRT plan.

Tender of the design build contractor is anticipated for 2018, and construction is planned for 2019 to 2023.

King said the plan would make the front door of the church the back door.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” he said.

Martha Lush, with CSW Landscape Architects, reiterated the plan to close access.

“I know you may not be happy,” Lush said.

The road closure is both to make the intersection safer for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists and also to add extra green space to the linear park.

“This is a decision that hasn’t been made lightly, it’s been talked about with the community for a year,” Lush said, emphasizing the city is working with the church and the school to address concerns about parking and access.

“The Byron Avenue that is right now this mound of asphalt with left and right ins is going to change.”

Marc Magierowicz, a city planner, said one of the foremost things he heard during consultations was the need for more park space and a safer Woodroffe and Richmond Road intersection.

“We want to make that front door a green space, make it something they want to have there; there’s an opportunity here,” he said.

Jane Heney suggested the street be a dead end, instead of blocking access all the way from Lockheart Avenue.

“In the winter we’re not stepping out to enjoy the parkland, we want to be able to park close to the church,” she said.

To that, Magierowicz added the city’s plan is to balance the need of transportation groups.

Though it was the last public meeting on the topic, some additional meetings with smaller advisory groups are still planned.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor is confident through working with the parish the city can work out some of the remaining issues and concerns.

“It could be this majestic layup to the front door of the church,” Taylor said of the expansion of the Byron Linear Park, adding it’s the city’s job to help them see the opportunity and potential expanding the park has.

He said some of the displeasure vocalized at the first of two sessions on

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

Work at my business has slowed down quite a bit this year. I currently have 11 employees but there is not enough work to go around. I should be getting a set of new contracts that will keep everyone busy this summer, but I’d like to make some temporary layoffs in the meantime to avoid having to let anyone go for good. I’ve discussed this with business colleagues who told me that temporary layoffs are not permitted for non-unionized employees.

What are my options?

The law applicable to temporary layoffs in Ontario can be confusing. The Employment Standards Act does allow temporary layoffs of up to 13 weeks in a 20 week period. In certain seasonal industries, such as construction, temporary layoffs over the winter months are fairly common. However, in other workplaces courts in Ontario have treated temporary layoffs as constructive dismissals and have ordered employers to provide termination and severance pay.

contract. Depending on the nature of the work, such layoffs may even be permitted when an employee is working with an unwritten contract. A temporary layoff is also more likely to be permitted if an employee remains entitled to benefits and can access Employment Insurance during their time off. During any such layoff it is important to inform the employee that the layoff is temporary and to provide them with a return to work date. Finally, a temporary layoff should In recent years, some Ontario court decisions have allowed not be used as a form of discipline to punish an employee temporary layoffs provided employers comply with both the for misconduct – that will most certainly result in a claim for Employment Standards Act and the terms of the employee’s constructive dismissal.

Radon remediation planned for Jack Donohue school Radioactive gas levels found exceed Health Canada guidelines

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Work to remediate higherthan-acceptable levels of radon gas found in Jack Donohue Public School will take place this year, parents heard at a public meeting on May 24.

Air quality tests conducted over 112 days in the fall and winter months showed eight areas in the school had levels of the radioactive gas exceeding Health Canada’s acceptable exposure guideline of 200 Becquerels per cubic metre.

Seven rooms tested between 200 and 600 becquerels, while one room was found to have around 610 Becquerels per cubic metre, said Miro Vala, manager of facilities with the Ottawa public board.

Nineteen areas in the school were tested.

A maintenance check

showed the school’s ventilation system wasn’t working properly. Since being fixed, the air exchange has been running 24-7, Vala said.

Short-term followup tests were then completed in the rooms with the highest concentrations. Five areas dropped below the recommended guideline while three areas remained between 200 and 600 Becquerels per cubic metre.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in the soil and rock.

The odourless, colourless gas can be found in every building that’s in contact with the ground.

“It’s not a question of whether you have radon in a building or in a home; the question is how much, and the only way to know is to test,” she said. “I know it’s a

Parents attend a public meeting at Jack Donohue Public School on May 24 after some areas in the school were found to have high levels of radon gas. Liska Rodger, who has one child at the school, says she believes the school handled the situation well. Remediation work has begun to bring the gas levels down. little bit scary when you get results like this, but this is really a very proactive thing the school is doing.”

There is no regulation that requires tests for radon gas,

although Health Canada encourages homeowners, schools and other organizations to undertake the process.

Jack Donohue is one of

34 schools in the board being tested this year. It’s the only one in north Kanata found to have high levels of radon.

“Almost every Kanata north school has been tested

or will be tested by the end of June,” said Vala. “Every other school is below 200; this is the only one that was above.”

Health Canada urges parents to tests homes for radon gas Continued from page 33

To mitigate the issue, a radon reduction system will be installed over the summer and regular testing will be conducted to ensure the levels stay in the acceptable range, said Vala.

Radon reduction systems can reduce gas levels by up to 90 per cent.

“We’re looking at (installing) 12 units,” he said. “We’ll do more testing and if, in fact, we need more we’ll continue to do remedial work until we bring our levels down below the 200 becquerels level.”

WORK REFUSAL

Parents received answers to questions at the meeting, such as why they weren’t notified immediately when 35 teachers and staff staged a refusal to work indoors on May 23. Classes were instead held outside.

“I take full responsibility for that,” said principal Cindy Alce said. “We didn’t even consider cancelling the school day or closing the school.”

The Ministry of Labour investigated and determined there were no imminent health and safety risks to staff or students, said Alce, adding teachers returned to work the next day.

Alce said she held off telling parents

The first email was sent to parents around 12:40 p.m., followed by phone calls that evening.

Some parents questioned if they would have been told about the high levels if teachers hadn’t walked out.

The school received the first round of test results in March.

“That made me wonder then if only the teachers taking action made us get the notice,” said Liska Rodger, who has one child at Jack Donohue in Grade 7 and another in Grade 5 at South March Public School.

The school said it had prepared a letter to send on Tuesday, but the work refusal stepped up the timeline.

Some parents were upset their children were outside all day in the sun and would have preferred to have the option to pull their children out of class.

“I did hear from a number of parents today about their kids were sunburned and lessons moving forward — I hope this never happens to me again, to be honest with you — number one to communicate earlier even if I have partial information.”

Many parents took to Facebook, asking questions and relaying the information they had.

“I wish this discussion could have taken place earlier,” said Camila Suvaric, who has two young children at the school. “The more open you are, the less scared we are.”

Following the meeting, Rodger said she was satisfied with how the teachers and school handled the situation.

“I think they did everything they could to keep themselves and the children safe, and I'm happy about that,”

she said. “It’s an anomaly; this is a situation where it’s not a fire, it’s not an earthquake. It’s one of these random things. Minus a few minor sunburns, everybody was OK.” Jeffery Strickland, who has two children at Jack Donohue, knows about high radon levels. His Morgan’s Grant home tested positive for radon levels between 1,100 and 1,200 becquerels per cubic metre around seven years ago. After installing a mitigation system, those levels have hovered around the 100-mark ever since.

“Having a few rooms between 200 and 600 is alarming to people who don’t know anything about it but, realistically, for the amount of exposure students are going to get here, it’s not that bad,” he said. “And the remediation is quick, it’s easy, it’s not that expensive.”

CUMULATIVE RISK

Long-term exposure to high levels increases a person’s risk of lung cancer, said Kelley Bush, manager of the national radon outreach program with Health Canada, adding radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada and the leading cause among non-smokers.

mend reducing any levels over 600 becquerels per cubic metre in a year, and any between 200 and 600 in two years, she said.

“The risk if very long-term, decades of exposure,” she said. “There’s no need to remove the children from the classroom as long as there’s efforts being made to reduce those levels and increase ventilation.”

Testing is the “first and best step” to take to lower the risk of exposure, said Bush, adding she wanted to emphasize how important it is to test at home.

“The risk from radon is cumulative, like any radiation exposure,” she said.

“You spend a lot more time in your home than you do in school.”

Health Canada recommends homeowners test using a certified do-it-yourself kit or by hiring a qualified professional. The test should be conducted over a minimum of three months on the lowest level of a home. Winter is the best season to test as houses are more tightly sealed.

Some areas of Kanata tend to have slightly higher levels of radon gas than other parts of the city due to Precambrian rock in the ground, but it has been found in homes and buildings across Ottawa and the country.

Urban camping cancelled in Kanata, Orléans

BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Urban camping in the suburbs has been cancelled.

The city pitched the idea of camping at city sites and

facilities during the big Canada 150 weekend, but there wasn’t a rush of people seeking sites a significant distance from the city core.

Urban camping has been cancelled at six of the pro-

posed sites, three of which are in Orléans.

Between the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, the Cumberland Village Heritage Museum, the Ray Friel Recreation Complex,

the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, the Kanata Leisure Centre and Wave Pool and the Nepean Sportsplex, there were only two bookings.

So the city decided to cut urban camping, and instead focus on sites where there were more – or any – bookings.

As of May 24, there were 79 bookings in total, with the most at the Tom Brown Are-

na in Mechanicsville, near the Bayview O-Train station – 30 tent sites and four RV bookings.

In a report by Dan Chenier, the city’s general manager of recreation, cultural and facility services, staff estimates there will be 100 total bookings when registration closes on June 15. That’s only 13.5 per cent of what was available.

Staff said the city will reduce camping sites, keeping the five sites that had more bookings to focus resources on the remaining sites and to make sure operating costs are covered.

Urban camping is open from June 29 to July 4, and ranges in cost from $220.50 for three nights in a tent, to $1,130 for five nights for a long RV.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Hosting US Delegation I had the honour of assisting the Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, in hosting U.S. Congressman Bill Shuster, Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, along with the rest of his Congressional delegation, as they arrived in Ottawa to learn more about Canada’s air navigation system. NAV Canada has been a highly successful model for the provision of air navigation services. It has become a world-leader in technology and innovation.

Community Visits I always enjoy visiting constituents both young and old while in the riding for the constituency weeks, and this past week was no exception. It was great to spend the morning speaking with the residents of Stonehaven Retirement Community in Kanata.

I was also happy to visit All Saints High School, where I spent time with two groups of students, including the group who recently returned for their tour of Vimy.

We sat down and discussed a wide range of issues and questions that arose from their visit. A tour of Vimy can be a very sobering experience and I was happy to be present while they shared their thoughts and feelings.

Kanata Youth Council I held the last session of the Kanata Youth Council meeting this past week. For the past 6 months I have had the privilege of engaging with 14 young constituents, talking about the various issues of concern to them.

For the past several weeks we worked on a project designed to promote awareness and education about the opioid/fentanyl crisis in our community, and our country. It has been an absolute pleasure working with these fine young men and women – who have such great ideas about the future. I want to thank them all for their engagement and enthusiasm, and I look forward to starting a new session in the fall.

Wild Bird Care Centre launches campaign Window collisions, cats and ‘birdnapping’ are among three biggest issues threatening to overwhelm the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre (WBCC) again this spring.

With the first influx of birds already arriving, the WBCC worries it could be the beginning of another near-record year for bird admissions. In 2016, the centre received nearly 3,300 sick, injured and orphaned birds — about 30 per cent more than in 2015. So far this year, more than 500 birds have been brought to the centre — already 50 more than last year.

About one-third of patients are victims of window collisions, cat attacks and wellintentioned Good Samaritans who rescue baby birds that do not need saving. WBCC board chair Debbie Lawes warns this escalating number of preventable injuries and rescues will continue to challenge the centre’s sustainability.

“Last year was a tough one for us. We haven’t seen admissions that high since the West Nile virus outbreak more than 15 years ago,” says Lawes.

“Our staff and volunteers work above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we never turn away a bird in need, but these numbers are exceeding our lim-

ited funding and resources.”

In response, the region’s only wild bird rehabilitation centre has launched its first-ever Avian Ambassadors campaign.

“Our goal is for 1,200 caring residents to donate just $25 each to reach our fundraising target of $30,000, which will help us care for the more than 1,300 young birds we expect to receive over the coming weeks,” says Lawes.

Bird collisions: In Canada, an estimated 16 to 42 million birds collide with glass on buildings every year. Residences are responsible for 44 per cent of bird collisions, while low-rises (four to 11 storeys) account for 55 per cent

Business Tours It was great to visit two Kanata-based companies this week: Nokia and Solace. Nokia is well known for their technology in many areas of communication, and Solace is a Canadian tech company specializing in data movement technology for corporate and government messaging fabrics. We had great discussions how we can all work together to make Kanata the centre for high tech industry in Canada.

sures — often called cat patios or “catios” — are another option that can allow cats outdoors without endangering birds. Also, try using a brightcoloured, breakaway collar.

Birdsbesafe collars, for example, have been found to reduce bird fatalities by 87 per cent (www.birdsbesafe.com). Meanwhile, the old bell on the collar is not only ineffective, but also dangerous for cats.

‘Birdnapping’: Of the nearly 1,350 hatchlings, pre-fledglings and fledglings brought to the WBCC last year, about 250 were totally healthy and not in any apparent need of rescuing. Baby birds are particularly labour intensive. If fewer unnecessary orphaned baby birds were created, the WBCC could devote more time and resources to other injured and truly

needy baby birds. For more information on what to do if you find a baby bird, read our flyer and visit our website at www. wildbirdcarecentre.org.

“The most important thing to do if you find a baby bird is to make certain it is truly an orphan before intervening,” says Mireille Goguen, executive director of the WBCC. “If a young bird is fully feathered, alert, able to walk or hop, and can perch on low branches, please leave it alone. It is normal for parents to leave their young alone for periods of time as they search for food and care for other fledglings.” However, this rule doesn’t apply to waterfowl like baby ducks and geese, which Goguen says “should never be left alone.”

“Birds will not abandon their young if touched by humans,” adds Goguen.

“In most cases, you can assume the parents are close by, and will respond and help when they hear their baby calling.

Remember, baby birds have the best possible chance of survival with their parents.”

To donate to our Avian Ambassador’s spring campaign, visit the fundraising page at http://wildbirdcarecentre.org/ rehabbirds.html. The public can also donate much-needed items like food and other supplies. A wish list is available at: www.wildbirdcarecentre.org.

Founded in 1981, the Wild Bird Care Centre assesses, treats and rehabilitates injured, ill or orphaned wild birds for the purpose of releasing them back into their natural habitat.

The centre provides information on bird intervention, safe handling techniques and avian injury prevention, and educates people about the natural history, conservation and rehabilitation of wild birds.

The stars come out in Carp

BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

It was a late-night party full of the world’s biggest stars.

The Ottawa Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada hosted its first public star party of 2017 on Friday, May 19.

The free event allowed the general public to come to the Carp library parking lot starting at sunset, and get a view of the stars up close and personal.

“It’s very family friendly,” club member Mike Moghadam said on the chilly evening.

“It’s really cool to watch kids

see Saturn for the first time through a powerful telescope.”

Moghadam said about 150 people showed up to get the opportunity to view the stars through around 10 telescopes of varying sizes set up in the dark parking lot. One of the telescopes, estimated in the dark, appeared to be about

12-feet tall and needed to be transported in a trailer.

Those who took a peek, could see the rings of Saturn fairly clearly.

For more information on upcoming star parties, visit the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s website at Ottawa.rasc.ca.

Stem cell discovery ‘a game-changer’ in reversing preemie lung damage

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Olivia’s eyes flutter as she lies cocooned in her mother’s arms.

The look on Jamie-Lee Eberts’ face is one of deep love and concern for her tiny daughter, who was born at 23 weeks and four days — a little more than halfway into the pregnancy.

Even early on in her eight-day labour, Eberts and her husband, Tim, wrestled with life-and-death decisions about their twins. They were born 115 days early, on Jan. 29, at the Ottawa Hospital General campus, home to a highly-specialized neonatal intensive care unit.

“Every hour mattered,” Eberts said.

Single babies born at that point face a 50 per cent risk of dying, and a 40 per cent risk of developing chronic lung disease.

But there are no survival statistics for twins born at 22 weeks Eberts’ babies weren’t due until May 24.

Olivia weighed just 500 grams at birth; while her brother, Liam, was 650 grams. Still, he was the sicker baby and passed away three weeks later.

“Olivia lost a twin. Jacob lost a brother and we lost a son,” said Eberts, who is also mom to 17-month-old Jacob. “And we lost a dream. In your mind you dream of what it’s going to be like to have this beautiful family of three.”

In that time, Olivia has remained in hospital and undergone a series of procedures and tests. As micro preemies, the twins’ lungs had not yet fully formed, causing chronic lung disease, and they required oxygen for an extended period — both of which cause severe problems.

“She’s at high risk of being blind, of being deaf, of respiratory issues,” Eberts said, adding she could also develop cerebral palsy. “Only time will tell. I am so grateful she is here, but this is very hard.”

But promising research being conducted in the same hospital is giving her a glimmer of hope that a clinical trial coming in two years could mean a brighter future for Olivia.

“This could have saved Liam’s life; and for Olivia this is a lifetime battle for her,” said Eberts, an Old Ottawa East resident. “Her respiratory issues are something that’s not going away when we leave here.

It is something that could be a concern for the rest of her life.”

Health care advancements mean babies are being born as young as 22 weeks into pregnancy, about half way to full term, which is usually 37 to 41 weeks.

“But 22 weeks is a major, major challenge,” said Dr. Bernard Thébaud, a neonatologist and clinical scientist at the Ottawa Hospital and CHEO. He is also a professor at the University of Ottawa.

“They are very fragile. And we have made the task of protecting the lungs of these babies more dif-

ficult because we keep improving survival of more and more immature babies,” he said. “And there comes a point where we hit a wall.”

That wall is bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a type of chronic lung disease. The lungs of babies are the last organs to form in utero. Forty per cent of babies born at less than 28 weeks have this disease, equivalent to 1,000 in Canada every year, 10,000 in the U.S. and 750,000 worldwide.

See RESEARCHERS, page 46

Jamie-Lee Eberts holds her daughter, Olivia, who has been in the Ottawa Hospital General campus’ neonatal intensive care unit since her birth in January. A new stem cell treatment is in development at the hospital, which has the potential to heal the lungs of preemies.

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Neonatologist and clinical scientist Dr. Bernard Thébaud, pictured at his Ottawa Hospital Research Institute lab with research technician Chanèle Cyr-Depauw, is developing a treatment that could reverse the damaged lungs that premature babies suffer from. Thébaud and his team hope to launch a human clinical trial within two years.

Researchers aim to develop a clinical trial Continued from page 45

After birth, these babies need help breathing, but the combination of mechanical ventilation and oxygen damages the lungs and inhibits their growth, and impacts brain development and eyesight, among a host of other severe problems.

Thébaud and his team, the only one doing this type of research in Canada, are now working to develop a clinical trial involving a stem cell treatment that has already shown promise in the lab, repairing the damaged lungs of newborn rodents.

Their research over the past seven years has revealed that an infusion of

mesenchymal stem cells — powerful antiinflammatory cells taken from umbilical cord blood — have restored lung growth, decreased inflammation and promoted blood vessel growth.

The research team originally thought these would replace the dead lung cells.

See LOCAL, page 47

Local team awarded $500,000 research grant But these stem cells actually talked to the sick cells, rejuvenated them and gave them a second life. They also talked to other cells connected to the lung inflammation, which then spit out other factors that promoted healing.

Within a week, the mesenchymal cells had vanished from the body — a good thing since they can multiply and form tumours if they remain.

‘No one has ever looked at the brain stem cells in these kids or (in) the animal models.’

“In the body, they act like mini pharmacies,” Thébaud said. “They go in, they see what kind of mess there is in the lung and then they start repairing it, spitting out the healing factors, and then they leave.”

The cells also may have the potential to target other damaged organs, such as the brain and kidneys.

“We think that if we treat the lung, we will at the same time treat the brain and maybe other organs, too,” Thébaud said. “No one has ever looked at the brain stem cells in these kids or (in) the animal models.”

He and his team were recently awarded a $500,000 peer-reviewed research grant from the Ontario Institute for Regenerative Medicine, to prepare a clinical trial that could get underway in the next two years with 10 to 15 preemie patients.

The Mayor’s Annual Canada Day Celebration for Seniors

SO

If successful, a second-phase of the trial could begin a year later with 60 patients, and a third phase launched in subsequent years could include other countries with 400 to 500 patients.

The sooner, the better, according to Thébaud.

The incidence rate of babies in Canada born with bronchopulmonary dysplasia over the past decade has increased by 10 per cent.

“We have made zero progress in the past 10 years (treating this disease), so it means that we have hit the wall,” he said. “So now if we really want to make a difference, something spectacular has to happen.

“We think these stem cells could be that game-changer.”

The mesenchymal cells have the potential to become the most significant advancement made in neonatology since the discovery in the 1950s of surfactant, used to prevent a respiratory syndrome in pre-term babies.

“I think it can be a game-changer, but we have to do the clinical trials to prove that,” said Thébaud, a Westboro resident.

There are potential risks with the treatment, such as the development of tumours or an exaggerated cellular reaction to lung inflammation, known as a cytokine storm.

“We don’t know yet,” he said.

But to Eberts, it’s the status quo that is unacceptable. For that reason, she is hopeful Olivia could benefit from the future trial, even when she is older.

“It is bittersweet because, of course, I want to sign up. I wish that both my children were here,” she said. “And could it have helped Liam? Could it have saved his life?

“Then Olivia would have her twin and Jacob would have his brother and we would have our son, and we would have our dream.”

Mind reader teams up with Escape Room to offer seance Location of event to be revealed closer to show date

with magic since he was six.

He started doing street performances at 12 and moved onto stage shows in his late teens and early 20s.

He was the star of a sixpart miniseries called Mind Games on Rogers cable in 2013.

The show is patterned after White's own performance, called Paradox, which focuses mostly on mind reading and hypnotism, but each episode has a theme.

White said passersby were often the fodder to showcase his talents.

For more information about White’s upcoming shows, visit www.jaymeswhite.com.

new act.

The show — not recommended for those with heart conditions because it’s so scary — is modelled after a Victorian-era seance and will be held at an as-yet-unknown location.

The location, which White says can’t be named because of it’s dark history, will be revealed before the show.

The aim is to keep the groups small, with an upper limit of 16 people.

White, who has a degree in psychology and criminology, will be the first to tell you that what he does isn't magic, but the mental equivalent of sleight of hand.

Bicycle rodeo aims to get more cyclists on the road Free Pedal Play event returns June 4

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Pedal Play moving bicycle rodeo is back for a second time.

Following a successful inaugural event last year, the free cycling event returns June 4.

“We had over 100 attending and that was great. It was more than we anticipated,” said Natasha D’Souza, who developed the concept. “We got a lot of positive feedback.”

With reviews from last year’s event, organizers rejigged the route – making it a six-kilometre loop (with plenty of stops along the way) that begins and ends at W. Erskine Johnston Public School.

More than 130 people have already registered this year.

The mobile bike rodeo aims to teach cyclists safe cycling routes and skills for biking in the north Kanata area. Although the event has no trouble attracting fami-

lies, D’Souza said she’d like to see older participants as well.

“What I’d really like is to see more teens and adults,” said the Kanata Lakes resident. “You can’t attend one class for driving a vehicle and say ‘I'm done.’ It’s a progression over many years. Although we know how to ride a bicycle, it’s still a progression … Having that knowledge is important.”

Cyclists will learn – or have a refresher – on how to use hand signals, share multiuse paths and change gears when cycling up a hill.

Rodeo will teach road communication skills Continued from page 53

Navigating streets, crossing traffic with a crossing guard, safely manoeuvring through congested pickup and dropoff zones outside schools, and riding through a roundabout will also be covered at stops along the route.

“The whole idea behind this is to not only raise awareness to what's involved in bike safety but to teach people how to communicate with each other – how to communicate with a pedestrian, how to communicate with a vehicle,” said D’Souza.

Her big “aha” moment last year was sitting in a cement truck and seeing how easy it was for a cyclist to disappear in the vehicle’s blind spots.

“I sat in there and I was like ‘Whoa.’ In a big truck there's no rear view, they only have the mirrors on the sides. There are a lot of blind spots,” D’Souza said. “It’s important for adults to climb in and have that ‘aha’ moment.”

The event also encourages people to consider leaving their vehicles at home for short trips, such as to soccer practice, school or work.

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTS UNDER THE PLANNING ACT NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 2017– 9:30 A.M.

Cyclists of all ages are invited to the Pedal Play bike rodeo on June 4.

“A lot of car trips are actually very short car trips. If we can get some of those over to bicycles, it’s good for the environment and actually good for community building,” said Julie Gourley, with EnviroCentre and Sustain Kanata North.

“There’s often ways to get where you want to go without going on the difficult streets such

as Campeau (Drive) or March Road. More people could cycle these routes if they knew about the paths.”

Pedal Play is hosted by the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association and organized by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s office, Transportation Action Committee Kanata North, and EnviroCentre’s Sus-

tain Kanata North.

Pedal Play takes place Sunday, June 4, from 1 to 4 p.m. beginning at W. Erskine Johnston Public School, 50 Varley Dr. Participants are asked to register in advance and the event takes place rain or shine.

t wouldn’t be long.

The school year would soon be over, and I was always amazed at how the entire school changed those last few weeks before the exams started, when we would know if we would be passed into the next grade.

It was almost as if we were in church. Everyone was on his or her very best behaviour, as if our actions had as much to do with passing as doing well on our exams.

Cecil gave up crunching his toes in his gum-rubbers, and moving his ears up and down on the side of his head. But Cecil was as smart as a whip, and there was no doubt he would pass into the next grade with flying colours. But he wasn’t taking any chances.

Even bad Marguirite wasn’t floating around the classroom like a crazed bird.

Yes, the whole school had settled down and every effort was made to have Miss

out, so that in itself added another level of fear.

Everyone, including Miss Crosby, held the inspector in great awe.

Weeks before exams started, Miss Crosby went over every last bit of teaching she had done in the entire year.

We were drilled on spelling until the words danced in my head long after the exercise, and we even had an exam in penmanship.

sudoku

Bearsaeinrs

horoscopes

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, remaining quiet about how you truly feel about someone will not be helpful this week. It’s better if you unleash your emotions and let your loved one know the truth.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are on a roll this week, and everything you encounter puts an extra spring in your step. Just don’t get so engrossed in your progress that you forget others.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be tempted to throw in the towel when things are not going your way. Give the situation a little more time before you make a foolhardy decision.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Your dedication could be the key to putting things back on track at work, Taurus. After a little turbulence, everything will work out once more with you on task.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your creativity is overflowing this week. This proves a boon to anyone who has asked for your assistance with party planning, decorating or other creative pursuits.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Others realize you are willing to put in long hours when you see the possibilities for a positive return, Capricorn. Share this enthusiasm with others and they might reciprocate.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week you feel more comfortable working with others in a group than you do on solo projects.

This reinforces to others that you are a team player and a valuable asset.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Continue to be that steady rock that others can rely on, Aquarius. The waters could get a little choppy this week, and others will need a strong anchor to get them by.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Others won’t stand in your way this week, Scorpio. You are a productivity powerhouse, and you are ready to overcome any and all obstacles.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sharing your opinions may not scare off others, even when they don’t agree with your views.

Continue to be open and honest.

Start slowly with little things that may not affect you as much, then build up to bigger changes.
