Hydro Ottawa to increase city’s dividend payments Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city will see more cash thanks to a new five-year plan from Hydro Ottawa. Starting in 2017, the utility company will pay the city dividends that equal 60 per cent of its net income, or $20 million – whichever is higher. That bumps up the minimum annual payout by $6 million, up from the existing minimum of $14 million. This April, the city, Hydro’s only shareholder, received $19.4 million from a net profit of $32.4 million. The strategic plan also includes investments of $500 million in infrastructure such as charging stations. Ottawa Hydro board chair Jim Durrell said it’s about making sure the city keeps power outages short and few in number. City manager Steve Kanellakos said the plan is a good one, and puts the city in a good position for the next five years. “It’s more than we are getting now,” he said.

While River Coun. Riley Brockington brought up the idea of paying dividends to customers directly, Durrell said the best way for Hydro to give back to customers is to practice good corporate social responsibility. See UTILITY, page 4

Starting in 2017, Hydro Ottawa will pay the city dividends that equal 60 per cent of its net income, or $20 million – whichever is higher.

Durrell said the organization raises $250,000 annually for United Way and donates a lot to the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa and other local charities. Aside from providing more predicable revenue for the city’s coffers, Durrell said the change in dividend payments will help with the utility company’s debt-toequity ratio. Mayor Jim Watson said the move is a positive one, but added inflationary costs will likely eat up the extra dollars for things such as wage increases. On the side of the coin, over which Hydro Ottawa has little to no control is rate increases for customers – the province sets the rates – Durrell said that customers can expects to see rates go up by approximately 2.6 per cent.

Retired police staff sergeant Rick Keindel officially announced his intention to run for the provincial Progressive Conservative nomination in Kanata-Carleton on June 28.

Facebook/Merrilee Fullerton

Retired family physician Merrilee Fullerton launched her campaign for the provincial Progressive Conservative nomination in Kanata-Carleton on June 28.

Retired police officer, family physician, launch campaigns Continued from page 1

Keindel and Fullerton are looking to secure the nomination for the 2018 election when the riding of CarletonMississippi Mills will be rejigged into Kanata-Carleton, while a large portion of the rural areas will be absorbed by surrounding ridings. Neither responded to a request for interview before the press deadline. Current MPP Jack MacLaren has been plagued by scandals – he was removed as the eastern Ontario representative in the Conservative caucus after he posted fake testimonials on his website. MacLaren was also ordered by PC Leader Patrick Brown to undergo sensitivity training, which he completed, after he made a crude joke referencing Liberal MP Karen McCrimmon and her husband in front of her and 350 other guests. MacLaren returned to Queens Park in May. RICK KEINDEL

Keindel first announced his intention to run on May 31 on Facebook at Rick Keindel for Kanata Carleton. “As your future MPP, I will strive to make a difference with fresh, balanced and practical approaches and ideas,” he said online. “You have a voice and I want to hear your issues. Enable me take those issues to the provincial legislature in 2018. I ask for your support going

forward.” Keindel’s areas of focus include debt reduction, improved healthcare, streamlined government processes and ethical government. He issued a news release June 28 that he is seeking the Ontario Progessive Conservative nomination. Keindel “sees the position of an MPP as an honour and will take great pride as the representative for the constituents of Kanata-Carleton,” said the release. “As during his policing career, Rick would perform his MPP duties with the utmost of integrity, professionalism and respect.” Keindel said the provincial government needs to bring back “integrity and accountability” and he is “concerned by the antics of this current provincial government. His police background includes a variety of positions, according to the release. He progressed through the ranks to acting inspector and retired as staff sergeant. His portfolio includes support services, criminal investigations, resource and development and patrol directorates where he managed a platoon. MERRILEE FULLERTON

Fullerton launched her campaign on June 28, at the Kanata Golf and Country Club. She first announced her intention on her Facebook page, Merrilee Fullerton, on May 27. “I want to represent my

home at Queen’s Park,” said Fullerton in a news release. “I am excited to be seeking the nomination for the Ontario Progressive Conservatives in the new riding of KanataCarleton. This has always been a wonderful community in which to live, grow up and see your kids grow up, and where you can make a living. I want to keep it so.” Fullerton’s priorities include improving healthcare, “fixing the energy mess,” restoring responsible budgets and fighting for better quality of life. Fullerton said she represents “both families and business as she spent her life balancing herself between being Dr. Fullerton, family physician, and hockey/soccer mom, neighbourhood block parent.” She said she is entering politics to “contribute to the health of our community.” “I have spent my career speaking out for and helping people. I see my next step as representing my home and community at Queen’s Park to make Kanata-Carleton a better place to live, work and raise a family.” Fullerton began her medical career in Carleton Place, before moving to the Kanata clinic. Her background includes advisory roles with the Ontario Medical Association and Canadian Medical Association, and membership in the City of Ottawa board of health and the local LHIN serving Ottawa and area, according to the release.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Happy Canada Day Kanata South!

Looking forward to chatting with lots of people at the KRC this Canada Day! Thank you to all the volunteers who make this event possible. I would like to thank our Police Services, By-law Services, and other municipal services for their continued effort to keep our community safe. It is important for community members to also play a role in the safety of our community, by continuing to report matters of concern, in order for the appropriate authorities to enforce accordingly, and ensure that our community remains one of the safest communities in our City. A great way to become involved in creating a safe community is starting a Neighbourhood Watch program. Neighbourhood Watch Program

Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours. It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperation between area residents and the police – and more importantly, between residents themselves. To find out if a Neighbourhood Watch exists in your neighbourhood or to start a new one, contact your local Community Police Centre. Your Community Police Centre can provide you with more detailed information, basic start-up assistance and resources. You can find more information about your local police centre at: http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/contact-us/ Community-Police-Centres.asp. Road Closure

Please note that due to an unforeseen utilities conflict the road closure of McGibbon Drive from Katimavik Road to Robarts Crescent will be extended to Tuesday July 12. Residents are advised to use Davis Ave in order to access Katimavik Road. Castlefrank Complete Street

Please visit my website for information regarding the possible changes to convert Castlefrank Rd to a complete street. Please email me at allan.hubley@ottawa.ca by June 30th, 2016 to provide your comments. Yoga in the Park

New fares for OC Transpo OK’d Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

An attempt to stall changes to OC Transpo’s fare table by Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum fell flat at council on June 22. A plan by staff to eliminate express bus fares from the suburbs to downtown will mean an increase of $6.50 to the price of a regular adult transit pass starting in 2017. Nussbaum said while fare changes need to be made, it’s not fair to put the extra expense on regular pass holders a year-and-a-half before they see the benefits of light rail. He wasn’t alone in making the point. Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said council is asking regular pass holders to pay an extra $104 over the next 18 months. OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said that regular pass holders will have the benefit of being able to ride any bus in the city at one rate. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said that one of the reasons for the change is that the express service is no

longer unique enough to justify an extra charge for riders. Manconi sent a memo to councillors in advance of the council meeting detailing why it is important to implement a new fare table in advance of the roll out of light rail. But Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who also voted in favour of delaying the rate changes, said the rationale wasn’t adequately explained in the memo. Leiper also said he doesn’t agree with the argument that there are not benefits to maintaining express bus routes. “These are door-to-door routes, and a significant improvement to taking a regular bus,” he said. While there was a sizeable rate hike to the regular adult pass, student bus passes and senior’s passes will remain close to what they are. Cash fares will increase to $3.65 in July, and then dip back down to $3.35 in January. Leiper said shifting the costs of eliminating the express pass to the city’s bread and butter clients, regular bus pass holders, puts the burden on the backs of those who can least

afford it. “Express pass holders will be getting roughly a $3 million subsidy from regular pass holders,” Leiper said. “Which is doubly problematic because we couldn’t find the money for a low income pass.” But Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said the issue isn’t about who pays what, but getting ready for the coming of light rail transit in the city. “It’s about the biggest infrastructure project in the city’s history and being ready for it,” he said, adding the city can’t afford to have it fail. Egli compared the roll out of light rail in Ottawa to Christmas morning, saying that the city wants to make sure it has all the parts in place. Transit commission chair Stephen Blais also defended the decisions of staff regarding fare rates. “We should be complimenting the management team for the work they’ve done,” he said, adding the past year has seen a $1 million expansion of service to Bank Street, as well as investments in the Trillium Line for the O-Train, which saw a 23 per cent increase in ridership.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans questioned the public consultation aspect of the fare table changes. “My question is, have we done the analysis, the focus groups,” she asked. “Is the fare system fair?” Deans talked about a focus group in 2012, where participants stated they “couldn’t fathom” urban riders subsidizing routes from the suburbs. Manconi said that was a snap shot – taken from a time before LRT work really started. He said public opinion has changed. Several councillors said they were concerned what rate increases would do to ridership, especially considering construction woes for the next year-anda-half for LRT. Mayor Jim Watson said changes to the fare table often come with “doom and gloom” predictions about what will happen to ridership. Manconi said he expects ridership to flat line over the next year. “I fundamentally disagree with the notion that the downtown is hard done by,” Watson said. “The bulk of spending on LRT is the downtown,” said Watson. “So to punish people in the suburbs is really very unfair.”

How to counteract bad behaviour

an you describe your worst day, the one that puts you in a state of anger, despair or exhaustion? Mine comes in the form of sitting in isolation. Not a great testimony for someone who makes a good portion of her living hunched over a keyboard in a dim room. Lack of movement, lack of social connection, my brain in overdrive trying to make decisions – all these things culminate into a bad mood, and often bad behaviour. According to York University research professor Dr. Stuart Shanker, I’m not alone. All the things I describe above are putting stress on me, which is why I get so cranky by the end of some days. Instead of allowing myself to succumb to the bad mood, however, Shanker has a system that may just help me to avoid the mood in the first place, or at least to defuse my temper tantrum before it begins. Shanker is the creator of a five-step process called “Self-Reg,” designed to help us as individuals, parents and teachers to regulate rather than simply control our behaviour. The executive director of MEHRIT, Shanker has used his Self-Reg system to help teachers better respond to

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse bad behaviour in the classroom. In June, the Eastern Ontario-based father of two, released a book by the same title. In Self-Reg, short for self-regulation, Shanker notes that kids – and adults – are exposed to a number of hidden stressors that can affect their mood and behaviour. These stressors can be environmental, physical, social, pro-social, cognitive or biological. At the core of the process, says Shanker, adults must attempt to relate to children to help them discover the root cause of the stress – say, for example, feeling left out at school or finding it difficult to complete tasks in the allotted time. Too often a disciplinary focus revolves around self-control, forcing kids to conform and deal with existing stress, without helping them understand how to

counteract it. In a recent interview with the Globe and Mail, Shanker notes that boredom is one of those things frequently misunderstood. “I’m bored,” is often a child’s response to over-stimulation in various parts of the body, causing a cortisol spike. “What it really means is ‘I feel yucky.’ It’s an expression of ‘I’ve got too much cortisol in the system and I’m really stressed,’” Shanker told the Globe. Shanker explains that kids need to know how to be calm instead of bored, engaging in energy-replenishing activities like playing in nature, doing sports or art. Individuals respond differently to stress, just as they do those activities that counteract stress, which is why relationship is a key component of his system. Stress could as easily come in the form of social conflict – bullying or a fight with a friend. Depending on the child, they could exhibit bad behaviour when they’re on deadline to complete schoolwork in an allotted time. The key is learning to help the children recognize the stressors and take moves to self-regulate in a positive way, something even adults need to work on in this highly-scheduled, high tech world.

Be the bigger nation W

ith Canada Day here, it’s worth reviewing all the reasons why we should be thankful. We’re at peace. We have order. And most Canadians – based on recent elections – would agree we have good government. We have been battered a bit by a drop in oil revenue, but Canada appears very capable of moving forward. We have a federal government that is making a growing middle class a priority. We have federal unity. The system works well. When one part of Canada sees good times, it shares the wealth with others. When one province is hurting, the others are there to help. In good times or in bad, it’s best to have many friends. Being part of something big helps smooth out the ups and down of an economy. Clearly we are better when we are part of something larger. Our forbearers figured that out in 1867. We’ve only added provinces since then; never subtracted.

We can today look across the Atlantic to see a United Kingdom that has voted to leave the European Union. That was a vote from the heart, not the brain. As a smaller economic block, the U.K. will enjoy good times and bad times, but the extremes will no longer be so smooth. There is already talk of further splintering; a possible referendum in Scotland, and a united Ireland – with Northern Ireland joining the Republic of Ireland – could mean the U.K. is just England and Wales. How long then until Wales wants to go it alone? From this side of the Atlantic, the division of Europe could spur some in Canada to think with their hearts too. But now is the time to sit back and watch what all this division will mean for newly created smaller economies that begin operating independently. We have been delivered an opportunity to watch the results of the experiment. We wish the U.K. the best of luck, but we remain here the bigger nation.

Enjoying the game without a soundtrack

here are signs that big-time baseball could happen again in Ottawa. And there are also signs that Ottawa is not quite ready for it. The turnout for the Father’s Day weekend games between the Ottawa Champions and the Cuban National Team was outstanding — more than 5,000 per game — bringing to mind the mid ’90s, when the Ottawa Lynx made the stadium on Coventry Road the place to be. The attendance even exceeded the last year’s big weekend when the Winnipeg Goldeyes were in town. The stadium was up to the challenge. Food lines were not too long, staff were friendly and helpful, alternative parking across the street helped ease the strain on RCGT Stadium’s shrunken lot. What doesn’t work, and needs

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town to be fixed if baseball is ever to become a major factor in Ottawa again, is the road system leading to the ballpark. The bridge over the Queensway at Riverside and the Vanier Parkway was horribly congested with cars converging from all directions. That needs to be fixed somehow. Yes, you could take the bus, but in order for that to happen, bus service has to be made more convenient for more people. Once inside, however, all troubles were forgotten. The weather was beautiful, which is all-important in this town. The fans could

choose between sun and shade. They liked the between-innings stunts. The scoreboard works. The announcing is bilingual. The umpiring was fine. After the Sunday game, kids were allowed to run the bases and fathers were allowed out on the field to play catch with their sons, daughters and grandchildren, a nice touch. And the quality of baseball continues to be excellent. Inning after inning, plays of major-league calibre were made and the fans appreciated it. Adding to the flavour of the game was a section along the right-field line full of Cuban fans with drums of all sorts and a solitary but spirited trombone. They brought a cheerful and rhythmic intensity to the proceedings. Unfortunately they were too often drowned out by loud outbursts,

musical and otherwise, from the stadium sound system. Which brings up a suggestion, one I’m sure I’m not the only one to make. How about a game with no artificial noise, no recorded music, no electronic prompts to fans to MAKE SOME NOISE. Then we could hear the game, listen to the players’ chatter, maybe even converse with our neighbours. Just try it once, see if people like it. Last summer, I had a chance to talk with the stadium organist at Fenway Park in Boston. I had noticed that the fans were never ordered to make noise and I asked about that. I was told it was a deliberate decision, when Fenway’s new scoreboard was installed, to avoid that sort of thing. Boston fans, the thinking went, were knowledgeable enough to know when to cheer. I would hope we are too, not just in baseball but in all sports.

games find the noise level annoying, not to mention difficult for small children. And they wonder why there is a need to pump artificial excitement into an already exciting event. Baseball, a reflective game with a lower adrenaline level than hockey, actually benefits from a sense of calm. How about it?

Board of health votes on hookahs Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A bid to ban hookahs and water pipes from public places is a step further thanks to approval by the Ottawa Board of Health on June 20. The work on the ban began in November. Gillian Connelly, manager of health promotion for public health, said staff conducted consultation with stakeholders, which included five out of the 15 hookah cafes that currently operate. “Most preferred enhanced regulation around ventilation, special licenses or only allowing in people over the age of 19 over an outright ban,” Connelly said. The recommendation was originally to start warning businesses Dec. 1, and then begin charging offending businesses in April 2017. But Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said the city should move forward more quickly, successfully putting forward a motion that would see charges begin the new year. At the same time as Ottawa

Public Health debated the issue, Mayor Jim Watson was attending the Vanier Community Association’s annual general meeting. When asked about whether he was concerned about the amount of vape shops and marijuana shops popping up on Montreal Road between North River Road and the Vanier Parkway, Watson said the issue has challenges—specifically to the use of medical marijuana— but when it comes to vaping he was clear. ‘smoking kills’

“Smoking is smoking and we all know smoking kills people,” he told the group. Mustafa Coja, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, said the major problem is the increasing popularity of hookahs among young people. A study he presented to the board, showed that 13 per cent of grades 7-12 students have used hookahs at least once in the last year. The same study said that 14 per cent of high school students have used one in the last year.

A single hookah session, which Coja said typically lasts 45 minutes, has 6.5 times more carbon monoxide and 46 times more tar than a single cigarette. “Cafes help to reinforce the misconception of reduced harm,” he said. “An average hookah session can lead to inhaling 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from one cigarette.” The only real difference is that one contains nicotine, the other doesn’t – but the other harmful chemicals are still there, Coja said. Carol McDonald, president of the Ottawa Council on Smoking and Health, said that residents are in favour of 100 per cent smoke free and asked the board to go a step further and license vape shops. The community and protective services committee has to approve the plan next, then the item would go to council for final approval. It’s likely to take until late August or early September. Once the bylaw is in place, staff would begin educating business owners on the new rules, Connelly said.

Community newspaper readership remains strong in Ottawa and Valley, report shows

Connected to your community

Community newspapers are alive and well across eastern Ontario. New research conducted by BrandSpark International confirms it. The Community Newspaper Impact Report, conducted in partnership with Metroland Media, found that 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed have read at least one of the last four issues of their Metroland Media community newspaper. That rate includes the nine papers in Ottawa and another six in the Valley. Even more encouraging, 90 per cent of young adults surveyed aged 18-34 across Metroland’s east region report reading their community paper as much or more now than they did a year ago. That number climbs to 93 per cent among all adults surveyed. “There is unquestionably a lot of discussion around the role of newspapers in the modern era, and the future of newspapers as a medium,” said Mark Baltazar, Vice President and Partner at BrandSpark International. “But it’s clear from this research that the community news format – free newspapers and websites focused on hyperlocal news – plays a major role in people’s lives.” According to the findings, more Ontarians surveyed identified community newspapers as the most involved entity in their community. “Community newspapers, whether in print or online, provide a unique service in Ontario, offering community-level news and information that consumers can’t find anywhere else,” explained Michelle Digulla, Vice-President of Marketing at Metroland Media. “Not only is that leading to high levels of trust and engagement, but it’s motivating our readers to take action based on what they see in our properties.”

In fact, 77 per cent of the community newspaper readers surveyed agreed that the content of those papers drove them to take action – either visiting a store, buying something, telling someone about a “great deal or product” or going to a website to learn more. Further, the report found: • 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed believe their community newspaper or local news website connects them to their community, • printed flyers and promotional materials are used by 81 per cent of respondents to get local shopping information, ahead of store websites (71 per cent) and emails from stores or companies (68 per cent), • more than 7 in 10 (71 per cent) Ontarians surveyed indicated their community newspaper has a positive impact on their local community. The Community Newspaper Impact Report is the second phase of a major research study undertaken by BrandSpark and Metroland. The first wave of results were published in the Community Newspaper Readership Report in February 2016 and included the following findings: • the typical issue is read twice (2.22 times), and kept in the house for an average of almost four days (3.65 days), • a Metroland community newspaper is most commonly read by two adults in every household, • an average of 22 minutes is spent reading every issue of the community newspaper and any enclosed flyers. More than 13,000 adults within Metroland’s circulation footprint across Ontario were surveyed online and by phone for the study, which was conducted from Nov. 24, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2016. The

study focused on readership for the more than 100 local websites and community newspapers (including flyers) published across Ontario by Metroland Media, such as the Kanata Kourier-Standard and Ottawa East News. The margin of error is +/-0.85 per cent.

Taste buds for rural Ottawa set to grow in 2017 Latest Ottawa 2017 announcement highlights local food, farms and fairs Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

More than 20 unique outdoor events are coming to rural Ottawa next year. The Ottawa 2017 Bureau has partnered with Just Food to launch Agri 150 – a new program aimed at boosting rural tourism during Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations next year – on June 21 at Just Food Farm. “This will compliment the urban experience,” said Mayor Jim Watson. The events will span the entire 2017-year, from January to December and include wine, eco-friendly and fair options. Managed by Just Food, a non-profit organization focused on promoting access to healthy food as well as increasing the amount locally grown food in Ottawa, the 2017 programming is aimed to get urban Ottawa resident as well as tourists to step out of the urban boundary and into the vast rural landscape the city has to offer. Executive director of Just Food, Moe Garahan said this rural experience will highlight the growing local food industry in Ottawa. “We have a dynamic and active local food industry in Ottawa and we’re pleased to help steward this program to promote and support local food and food-related initiatives,” Garahan said. The Agri 150 program will take place in West CarletonMarch, Stittsville, Cumberland, Osgoode and Rideau Goulbourn. Watson said even if tourists

don’t have a car, they will be able to enjoy this rural feature, as the organizers are currently working with OC Transpo to offer specialized transit to specific Agri 150 events. Experiences currently planned are: • Wine and Words Tour -- Participants can visit local wineries to sample area wines. The sampling will be paired with local cheeses and other finger foods. The tour will also work in partnership with the Ottawa International Writers Festival and at each stop, a local author or storyteller will read passages which reflect rural landscapes and way of life. • Eco-Tour -- A cyclingbased tour is aimed to showcase both tastes and innovations in environmental sustainability in the rural Ottawa area. The tour will include a stop at an off-grid farm, a conservation area, solar installations and greenhouse vegetable production. Participants can enjoy locally produced treats at each stop. • Rural Fair Experiences – Organizers of Agri 150 said they will ensure through marketing initiatives that even more residents and visitors alike will learn about rural resources and celebrate the distinct rural nature of the community in a fun and interactive way at the many rural fairs held in Ottawa.

Please contact my office to find out how you can help. Junior Ranger Program at Richcraft Recreation Complex – This is the second year of the Junior Ranger Program, supported by funds raised for programs at RRCK from Kanata Race Day. They create and maintain trails in the natural environment area; remove invasive species; conduct tours with children from City Day Camp Programs and introduce youth in the community to nature. They will also reach out to the wider community with special events. Consider volunteering to help remove invasive species. (Please contact my office if you would like to help with this important initiative.) Drop by my tent at Canada Day in Kanata and at the Kanata North Picnic on July 20th to talk to a Junior Ranger about the program and sign up for a tour of Trillium Woods. Coyote Sightings – occur regularly in Kanata North. As communities expand into natural areas these animals become more urban. Coyotes are shy animals and generally avoid contact with humans. There are a few basic rules you need to know in co-existing with them. Keep pets safe by walking dogs on leashes. Pick up your small dog if you see a coyote. Be with your dogs or cats when outside. Don’t feed coyotes or secure any food source for them. If you encounter a coyote just make a noise until he retreats. Be ‘Big, Bad and Loud!’ For more information on living with wildlife, see my website: www.marianne.wilkinson.com

Plan to visit it to see all that is available. The bookmobile is accessible to those in wheelchairs. Bike Ramp Removed – Recently a resident let me know that a large, high bike ramp had been constructed near the Beaver Pond Trail. I understand that young people like to challenge themselves but this created a hazard so it was quickly removed. Community “eyes and ears” send me the information needed to make our community more safe and secure and a great place to live.

Just because a car can pass a cyclist, doesn’t mean it’s legal – or safe. Police launched an education campaign on June 21 by demonstrating a new device that identifies drivers who don’t leave the mandatory one-metre buffer space when passing bicycles. Drivers must give bikes at least a metre space when passing under the Highway Traffic Act, but it can be hard to measure while it’s actually happening. The new law passed on Sept. 1, 2015. Bike patrol officers from central division showed off a device that connects to handlebars and uses sonar to detect when a car is too close. The device alerts the bike patrol officer when a car comes "90 centimetres or closer." The sonar device costs about $1,000. If the city’s police were to buy more, they would likely receive a cheaper bulk rate. On June 21, a patrol officer biked down Somerset Street past Bank Street and radioed co-workers down the road when a car passed him too closely. warnings

Police are warning people to make them aware of the rule, especially in high traffic areas, before ticketing starts. Legally, police are allowed to give a $180 ticket with two demerit points. “We want to make sure that everyone knows that it’s something that we’re go-

Craig Barlow. “There’s definitely a grace period.” Barlow said it's a similar approach police took when new rules regarding cellphone use while driving were

introduced in Ontario. There were several cars pulled over who drove too closely to the uniformed police officer on bike. Generally, patrol officers on bicycles wear uniforms and are easily identifiable as police. “Regardless we still have

people who pass too close to us,” Barlow said. The cars pulled over at Somerset Street between Kent and Lyon streets on June 21 didn’t receive tickets, but got a friendly warning from police officers as well as a handout with more information about the changes to the Highway Traffic Act. Safer Roads Ottawa’s Kale Brown said bike shops in the area have been canvassed as well to educate cyclists about the new rulesl. Brown said most of the education has been centred around telling cyclists that if they are not impeding traffic, they can legally take the lane and don’t have to ride along the curb. He said it’s especially important in areas where cars can park on the side of the road and cyclists are at risk of being hit by a door.

‘No drone zone’: Signs, safety campaign launched Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The federal government is getting tough on drones operating near airports and aircraft. Canada has had drone regulations in place since 1996, but given their growing threat to aviation safety, the unmanned aircraft are now the focus of a new national safety campaign and have prompted the creation of new ‘No Drone Zone’ signage. “We face a challenge: a growing number of incidents where drones are flying too close to aircraft and airports,” Transport Minister Marc Garneau said while announcing the campaign at the Ottawa International Airport on June 13. Two CF-18 fighter jets were deployed from Bagotville, Que., to Ottawa after two drones were sighted on May 25, one several kilometres away from the Ottawa airport and another in the vicinity of the Parliament Buildings. The day before the announcement, a drone was sighted 25 metres away from an incoming passenger jet that was preparing to land at the Winnipeg airport. Incidents involving the unsafe operation of unmanned aerial vehicles,

or drones, are increasing and are expected to climb this year. Last year, Transport Canada investigated 96 drone-related incidents, up from 61 in 2014. “I want to get those people who consider this kind of behaviour as harmless to think about this danger, stop doing it and know that if they do not, they are breaking the law,” Garneau said. Drones are not toys and operators must avoid flying near airports and aircraft without prior permission. “Doing so is not only stupid, it could be extremely dangerous,” he warned.

To drive home that message, the federal government is proposing stronger aviation legislation, which would include drone categories, simplify operator registration, new flight rules, aircraft markings, pilot permits and drone design standards.

Kanata couple tandem trip to Fredericton Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Cycling to Fredericton from Kanata will cover 1,111 kilometres. Charles Gregoire and Heidi Brault plan to set off on July 6 on a tandem bike. They are doing it to fundraise for the Willow Tree Community Inc. and Refugee Aid Canada. “Using a tandem bike is more optimal for two riders of unequal strength, and more fun,” said Gregoire. “We are able to converse and truly enjoy the ride together.

Both of us can keep an eye on our surroundings. In case of rain, it’s easier psychologically to be riding together.” The plan is to use the NCC cycling paths, the PrescottRussell link, part of Quebec’s Route Verte and the New Brunswick trail. The reason they picked the Willow Tree Community is because ’s aunt, Gracie Brennan Mersereau, would value for such a place in Fredericton, which intends to be an L’Arche community that is meant to create homes, programs and support networks

for people with intellectual disabilities. “My aunt is 81 and her husband is deceased,” said Gregorie. “She had three children – Kevin, John and Lana – and Lana is the child who suffered the stroke at age of two. She is now 43 and lives at home with Gracie, who is working towards making a life for Lana after she’s gone.” The idea of tandem cycling was sparked when the couple visited Gregorie’s aunt in July 2015.

Heidi Brault and Charles Gregoire are set to cycle to Fredericton from Kanata on July 6 on a tandem bike. They intend to raise funds for Willow Tree Community Inc. and Refugee Aid Canada.

Goal is to raise $20,000 Continued from page 18

“When we visited in Fredericton, she told us thatashe was a volunteer on a committee trying to bring about an L’Arche home,” said Gregorie. Later the year, the couple decided to join a refugee sponsorship group here in Kanata. They eventually decided they would raise funds for the group as well. That was where the Refugee Aid Canada came into the picture. “Sponsoring a refugee family requires a team effort, as does establishing an

L’Arche community – you can’t do it by yourself,” said Brault. They have set a goal of $20,000 for the Willow Community Inc. and aim for an additional $8,000 for Refugee Aid Canada. The group needs to reach the $30,000 for a Syrian family of five living in Lebanon. “This tour will definitely be an interesting and worthwhile endeavour,” said Brault. “Part of the challenge in planning any cycling tour is figuring out distances to be covered and whether or not there are accommodations that are both available within

those distances and not too far off our route.” The two will make a return from Fredericton by car and will provide updates of their progress online on their website and Facebook page at cbgregoire.com/tcHome.html and facebook.com/tcFundRaising. “I’m looking forward to the tour, as it will be an opportunity to visit places that I’ve never been to, or at least never visited,” said Brault. “Travelling on a bike will allow us to really take in the scenery and to stop at places that we might not see if we were travelling by car.”

Eight pilot projects selected for city’s innovation program Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city has announced the latest start-ups to benefit from the Municipal Innovation Pilot Program on June 22. The projects selected run the gamut from cloud technology to a device developed by a company called Key2Acess that created a device that will help people with visual impairments to activate the pedestrian walk sign at intersections. The projects were selected from 65 applications from Ottawa and across the country. The applications were vetted with input from the Build in Canada Innovation Program, the National Research Council, the city’s four post-secondary institutions and TiE Ottawa – a non-profit association that fosters entrepreneurs. “To date, we have commenced eight pilots in fields such as cyber security, gamification, accessibility and social media analytics … and we expect to bring in many more pilots as we grow our program in its second year,” said Mayor Jim Watson, crediting Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley with the idea to foster the growth of local startup companies by testing them in a market like Ottawa. “The city is one of the first municipalities in Canada to create a program dedicating to finding and experimenting with new and innovative approaches to delivering municipal services. I am incredibly excited to see the results of this program.” Key2Access partnered with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind to develop their technology and was to demonstrate the product at the intersection of Waverley and Elgin streets on June 23. The eight projects will be tested for several months, at which point the city will evaluate their performance and provide feedback. Where a potential improvement is found to a city process, these companies may be moved into the traditional procurement process to compete for work on an ongoing basis. The move doesn’t require the city to purchase any products or sign any contracts. The successful pilots are: • VoIPshield, an Ottawa-based company, who will be piloting their VoiceAudit software, which is an important link in ensuring the security of VOIP phone systems. • WAW Technologies, who will test the network monitoring effectiveness of their Catchwire product. • The innovative new start-up

based out of Carleton University, Gamifi, will be running a pilot to provide interactive content for upcoming City of Ottawa staff mental health awareness training sessions. • Local start-up, Syncrodata,

will pilot their TrendifyLive social media monitoring and analytics tool. • Savvydox will test a cloudbased document collaboration solution that will manage the application process for the Innovation

Pilot Program. • Signority has developed an esignature that will manage the authorization process for the negotiation of City pilot agreements with successful applicants. • Millenium Inc., is a start-up

based out of Waterloo, whose product Lacelabs is an online forum where municipalities can share information regarding pilots that they have undertaken. • Key2Access, in partnership with the Canadian National Institute of the Blind, have developed a product that will assist people with visual and motor impairments in activating the pedestrian walk signal at traffic intersections. “One of these companies could be the next Shopify,” Watson said.

Public Meetings All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for email alerts or visit ottawa.ca/agendas, or call 3-1-1. Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Growing together Stefanie Booth was looking for a project for students at John Young Elementary School on Morton Drive. She set her sights on a community garden and with help of a $2,000 grant from the Whole Kids Foundation, the school went and did it. “I wanted the kids to have hands-on knowledge of healthy eating and a healthier community,” said Booth. Students and staff celebrated on June 24 as they helped design the boxes and create blueprints, on where to place them on the school grounds. Booth said zucchini; peppers, tomatoes and squash among other plants in the garden. There are plans to sell what grows at a September barbecue, or be part of the breakfast programs and perhaps be donated to the food bank. scott campbell/metroland

Ottawa board of health backs safe injection sites Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s board of health has given the idea of a supervised safe injection site for IV drug users in the city its overwhelming support, despite the fact that the board’s chair was one of only two dissenting voices when the issue came to a vote on June 20. City councillor Shad Qadri, chair of the health board, says he will wait and see what public consultation reveals before supporting safe injection sites in Ottawa. The board voted 9-2 in support of a proposal championed by the city’s chief medical health officer Dr. Isra Levy that would allow community health centres to set up safe injection sites. The injection site recommendation was just one part of a harm reduction strategy put forward by public health staff. Doctors, advocates and IV drug users – both for-

mer and current – packed the board meeting room and spoke in favour of the initiative, but Qadri wasn’t convinced. He recalled a 2010 visit to Insite in Vancouver, which was the first ever safe injection site in North America. “When we called the cab, and the driver asked us, ‘are you sure you want to go there?’” he said, adding the driver would only bring them a block away. That six-year old cab ride is what Qadri based his health board vote on. “That to me, said a supervised injection site is not safe,” Qadri said, adding it’s possible his mind can be changed once public consultation takes place. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish said approving the practice before the public consultation takes place is not the way to go on the issue.. “I see a bit of a contradiction,” he said during the meeting, adding the

The Ottawa board of health voted on June 20 in support of a proposal championed by Dr. Isra Levy that would allow community health centres to set up safe injection sites. The recommendation was only one aspect of a harm reduction strategy put forward by public health staff. support of the community should be an important part of setting up a site. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’d like to see public health

*Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, The High Cost of Canada’s Mutual Fund Based Retirement System, March, 2015

Board chair and Coun. Qaqish only voices of dissent Continued from page 28

Cameron MacLeod, who heads the Carlington Community Health Centre and is a board member of the Association of Ontario Health Centres, said the association is on board with the policy. “Many of our centres serves those with mental health and addiction and strongly support this initiative,” he said. “Harm reduction accepts that drug use is part of every human culture and seeks to support those dealing with addiction. Supervised injection sites save lives and provide a low-threshold gateway to treatment.” Fleury said health care is a provincial responsibilty and tried to put forward a motion that would ensure the approval of supervised injection sites wouldn’t increase the operating or capital costs of Ottawa Public Health. Fleury said he also didn’t want to lose sight of the fact that experts said there’s a 25-day waiting period for clients to get into rehab centres. “We would like that to be zero,” he said. But several committee members felt that it was too early to debate numbers. Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said she didn’t feel it was right to say that the sites are needed and then not be willing to help find a way to make that happen. “We have a responsibility to treat the people who need our help the most,” she said. “It’s not a matter of criminality any more than paramedics showing up at the scene of an accident – they don’t try to determine if a crime has been committed, they just treat people.” McKenney asked where

In a vote of 9-2, the city’s board of health has put its support behind safe injection sites in the city. we would be without needle exchanges and safer inhalation sites, something that the public was against not that long ago.

she said. Dr. Lisa Bromley, who treats addicts and prescribes methadone and Suboxone, said safe injection sites are a way to get people on the on ramp to more traditional addiction treatment services. “Even with methadone, it’s not a light switch,” she said, adding the more points of access there are for treatment, the better. But before drug users can get better, they should at least be safe. “People who use drugs shouldn’t have to gamble with their lives because what they buy is mixed with Fentanyl,” she said. “Any objection to supervised injection is not based on evidence, it’s based on sensibilities. We aren’t going to arrest the problem away.” Bay Coun. Mark Taylor described himself as a convert, and said he hopes the harm reduction strategy will help to reduce the stig-

ma around IV drug use. Taylor hopes injection sites could be a place

“Sometimes when you’re untying a knot, you have to attack it from a different place,” he said. The approval of the health authority’s guidelines is just the first step. The federal government would have to approve each centre’s plan for a safe injection site and the city would have to approve each site individually once a plan is in place. The June 20 approval was just a guiding policy that will encourage organizations to move forward. Ray Harrison, a client of the Somerset West Community Health Centre, who has been clean for 18 months, said the city needs multiple sites. “When I figured out I had mental health problems, I had been an addict for 20 years,” he said. “The more doors you have open for people to come in to get help, the greater the chance we have to save decades of their lives.”

Amateur radio operators simulate emergency situations Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Paul Coverdale participated in his first amateur radio Field Day in 1963 and has been taking part in them ever since. The Bells Corners resident, along with other members of the Ottawa Amateur Radio Club, was at the Corkery Community Centre in West Carleton on June 25 and 26 to take part in this year’s Field Day. The 24-hour event sees thousands of amateur radio operators – sometimes called hams – from across North American test their emergency radio communications. Greg Danylchenko, who lives in Ottawa east, used a high frequency radio operated off the power from a car battery and made contact with other amateur operators in south and in west central Florida on Sunday. Field Days simulate “emergency circumstances when normal means of communication are not available,” he said. “Radio amateurs played

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Greg Danylchenko, call sign VE3YTZ, operates a Ham radio as part of the Amateur Radio clubs’ Field Day on June 26. The 24-hour event ran Saturday and Sunday with the Ottawa Amateur Radio Club operating out of the Corkery Community Centre. Danylchenko managed to connect with another amateur radio operator out of south Florida during the event. a vital role in the Ottawa area immediately following the ice storm of January 1998, assisting police, the military

and other emergency services when normal communications were paralyzed.” Aside from testing emer-

gency preparedness, it’s also a fun and social opportunity, said Glenn MacDonell, president of the Ottawa club and the national Radio Amateurs of Canada group. The general public is able to get a look at what they do and

the operators compete to see whose communications reach the furthest and who can communicate with the most people. Those who missed the Field Day events across Ottawa and are interested in am-

ateur radio communications are always welcome to check out the various clubs that exist in Ottawa, said MacDonell, who's communicated with people across the globe including in Japan, Australia, and Norway. "It connects people all around the world," he said. “You don’t have to be an expert. (People) do it for fun, they do it for education and they do it to build their skills. It's curious people trying new things.” Amateur radio operators have to pass a licencing exam and there are about 70,000 licenced operators in Canada, said MacDonell, who lives in Alta Vista and is also a member of the West Carleton Amateur Radio Club. Radio amateurs have helped in a number of other international disasters, and local hams often volunteer their time to provide communications at events such as the CN Cycle for CHEO.

Kids combine for first mixed Miracle League game Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

A bunch of kids, a baseball diamond, and some bats. That’s all it took for a group of kids to have fun on a recent Saturday. It didn’t matter that half the kids on the baseball field were used to playing in a structured, competitive league with a rulebook, while the other half have some form of disability and sometimes prefer not to keep score. “There’s more to baseball than winning,” said John McKay, a Glebe Little League assistant coach who took his players to play at the Miracle League field in Orléans on June 18. “Those things that make it more than a game were on display.” McKay coaches a team called the Baby Bees that includes his son, Sam, 10. Sam and a group of his teammates joined Miracle

League of Ottawa players who have special needs for a game at the Navan Road baseball diamond. The field, which opened last year, has special rubberized padding that makes it safe and accessible for players who have a variety of disabilities.

There’s more to baseball than winning. Those things that make it more than a game were on display. John McKay, Glebe Little League assistant coach

The June 18 game was the first time that a team of players from outside the Miracle League played in a game at the special baseball field. It was always the goal to

recruit non-special needs teams to come out and play, said Michelle Desrochers, one of the Miracle League founders and mother of Miracle League player Bryce Desrochers. McKay got in touch with Desrochers to do some fundraising for the Miracle League, but when he mentioned his own Little League team, Desrochers suggested his come out to the park to play. The kids were divided up into two mixed teams, with Little League players playing alongside Miracle League players, and offering some help where needed. For a first try, Desrochers said it went well mixing the two teams together. Her son Bryce, for example, can use his chin to drive his power wheelchair, so he doesn’t need much help getting around the bases. See MIXED, page 33

Mixed game breaks down players’ differences

Continued from page 32

But picking up the ball and throwing it is harder for him to accomplish, so being paired up with a helper on the field of play helps. The goal is to have kids of all abilities playing side by side. The vibe means the games are relaxed, fun, and not at all competitive. “We don’t actually really follow the rules of baseball,” Desrochers said. “As much as it’s baseball, we don’t follow three strikes and you’re out.” It was a change of pace for the Glebe Little League players, who are used to strict adherence to the rules of the game and keeping meticulous score. “I think it was a bit liberating for them, too,” said McKay. “It was a bunch of kids having fun and the smiles on their faces were huge. We adults create a lot of divisions that aren’t really necessary.” McKay’s son Sam said it was a different game then he was used to playing, but in a fun way for him and his nine and 10-year-old teammates. “If we lose, I don’t really care. That doesn’t matter,” Sam said. “And playing with those kids is really fun.” Desrochers has a hard time keeping her son Bryce away from the field. “He would play all day, everyday if we let him,” she said. MORE GAMES

McKay is keen to bring more players to the Miracle League to play ball in the future. “It was one of the best things I’ve ever seen,” he said. “We would go back in a heartbeat.” Desrochers hopes that during this summer’s baseball season, more Little League teams will come play alongside Miracle League players. And, the Miracle League is accepting more players as well, for both the current session and the next session that begins mid-July. Teams that want to play can contact Desrochers at info@miracleleagueofottawa.ca and anyone who wants to register their child to play in the Miracle League can get information at www.miracleleagueofottawa.ca.

In Canada, many would consider hockey as the most popular sport in the country. For Ireland, gaelic football is the “original beautiful game.” Ottawa Gaels Football Club has been around since 1975, but for the last three years, the club has been introducing the sport to elementary school students. The club’s youth development officer, Noel McGinnity, is a native of Ireland, but now calls Kanata home. He wanted to get his kids playing the game and then the interest began to expand from there. The sport of gaelic football has great appeal in Ireland and a game can draw 80,000 spectators, said Kerry Mortimer of the Ottawa Gaelic Football Club. The game is different from most sports played here, said McGinnity. There are aspects of soccer, basketball, rugby, volleyball and football mixed into how they play. The ball used is round and very similar in appearance to volleyball. Players are given only four seconds or four steps to advance the ball. After those four steps , the players may bounce the ball, and take four more steps, kick-pass the ball or hand-pass the ball. Players can score a goal into the net for three points. A single point is scored when a player hand-passes or kicks the ball above the crossbar. There were two local tournaments, on June 17 and 23, the first

of its kind for the schools. The events were the culmination after coaches from Ireland had been coming to the schools and teaching the sport. “[The students] have become very proficient,” said McGinnity. “I think that’s why they have taken to the game, it’s very different.” The first tournament was between George Vanier and W. Erskine Johnston for grades five and six. two boards

“The unique aspect of the tournament last week is that it was between schools from two different school boards; Ottawa Catholic and Ottawa public,” said Mortimer. “The schools are physically beside each other and this was the first time the schools had played each other in a mini-sports tournament. The Ottawa Gaels played a key role in brining this unique chance to play the great sport of gaelic football and getting two schools together that hadn’t held a tournament of this format in any other sport before.” The tournament on June 23 was with grade four, five, six students from Roch Carrier and Bridlewood Elementary. They played at the Eva James Community Centre on Stonehaven Drive. “It’s really amazing, we had 320 students out [for Roch Carrier and Bridlewoood] and over 500 kids for the two tournaments,” said McGinnity.

Laser strikes are extremely dangerous: offenders face fines, jail Minister of Transport Marc Garneau has launched an awareness campaign to inform Canadians of the dangers and consequences of pointing a laser at aircraft. Pointing a laser at an aircraft is extremely dangerous and puts pilots, passengers and people on the ground at serious risk. Laser strikes distract pilots, cause glare that affects their vision, or worse, temporarily blind them. Pilots often report suffering from eye irritation or light sensitivity after being struck in

the eye by a laser, which could seriously affect their ability to fly safely. That’s why Transport Canada is asking the public to report laser strikes to local police if they witness them. Incidents can also be reported to the nearest Transport Canada regional office. Canadians are invited to learn more by using the #NotABrightIdea hashtag or visiting www.tc.gc.ca/NotABrightIdea. “Pointing a laser at an aircraft is not only

a reckless act that puts people at unnecessary risk, it’s simply not a bright idea,” Garneau said. “As minister of Transport, I take this type of behaviour seriously because Canadians and their families deserve to feel safe while flying. We want people to know there are serious consequences, including $100,000 in fines and up to five years in prison. Transport Canada and law enforcement across the country are working together to ensure offenders face the fullest force of the law.”

QUICK FACTS

* In 2015, nearly 600 laser strike incidents were reported to Transport Canada, an increase from the 502 incidents reported in 2014. In 2016, that number stands at 148 incidents, from January to April. * Offenders can face $100,000 in fines, up to five years in prison, or both. * Lasers can distract pilots, cause glare that affects their vision, or temporarily blind them.

A weekly guide in legal matters

I’ve worked as a bookkeeper for 9 years. I started as a part-time employee but for the last couple of years I’ve worked almost 40 hours a week. My employer is retiring and selling the business. I’ve heard through the grapevine that the buyer is a competing business and likely won’t require my services so I probably will lose my job, but my boss hasn’t told me anything. Is this legal? Generally, unless you’re unionized, your employment can be terminated at any time by your employer. If a business is sold and certain employees are not offered positions with the new company, they have effectively been laid off. Although an employer is allowed to end your employment you also likely have a right to compensation. The majority of employees who are let go are entitled to some salary continuance under the Employment Standards Act. Depending on the wording of your contract or if you were working under a verbal contract, you may also be entitled to additional compensation for “reasonable notice of termination”. Reasonable notice of termination is essentially the amount About Allan Snelling

of notice (in weeks or in months) that an employee should have received to warn them that they are going to lose their job. If an employee is not given any formal notice of termination they can often make a claim for compensation after they have been dismissed. In some situations, where an employee and an employer can’t agree on the amount of compensation to be provided the dispute has to be resolved in Court.

Kanata students launch French language books Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A group of four Grade 5 core French students at South March Public School won a national story-writing contest and launched their published book on June 17. The students wrote a 1,200-word book, based on the play Chat Angora that they read in class, and were published by contest host AIM Language Learning. More than 20 schools across Canada submitted books to the contest

and the published winner will have a place on the shelves at Library and Archives Canada. The winning group – comprised of students Amy Newsome and Norah Burgess, both of Dunrobin, Briarbrook’s Cordelia Taylor-Lalonde and Kenzie Greer, of South March – said they had no idea their book would win. “We were surprised, happy,” said Amy about their reaction when they learned of their firstplace finish.

Stories written in second, third, fourth language words long and written in a second, third, and sometimes even a fourth language.” Rudick said that writing a book in a second or third language “is something that’s not just a challenge for kids. It’s a big deal.” Rudick said she was proud of her students for taking on the challenge. The 16 students in three groups collaborated online to write and illustrate their books on their own time, working during recess and at home. “Félicitations – this group says it over and over to each other. This group is constantly congratulating each other,” she told the families who attended the book launch. The entire grades 5 and 6 split class, she said, has made incredible strides with their French language studies. “Everyone is talented, making improvements. The lesson is if you apply yourself, you can do anything. I hope you grow up and know you can take on a challenge.”

“We were freaking out,” said Cordelia, when the group found out it had won. The process of writing and illustrating their story was “stressful, but it was so much fun,” said Norah. For Amy, the win “is a one in a million.” Three other books were written and submitted to the contest by students in the class. The books were selfpublished and launched during the event. Every student who participated in the writing and illustrating of the three books were called to the front of the class to receive a certificate recognizing their excellence. They then participated in a question-and-answer scrum on their success. “These books are both a product and a process,” said teacher Joëlle Rudick, who has taught many of the students from kindergarten onwards. “The stories are a thousand

40 Looks Really Good for Queensway Carleton Hospital The history of Queensway Carleton Hospital is intertwined with the history of Nepean – a township established in 1792. Along with the growth of the region, more people meant more accidents, disease and the need for established healthcare in the form of hospitals. Nepean residents who needed any type of medical attention headed “to town” to visit one of the hospitals, and even in the 1900s, were subjected to long waiting lists. All patients from Carleton County paid a non-resident fee to Ottawa for medical services rendered. It amounted to $1 per day for treatment. Rural doctors, barred from practicing in city hospitals, were moving into Ottawa where the medical profession offered brighter futures. More than one attempt was made to establish a hospital in the expanding Nepean Township. During the 1950s a group of prominent citizens, led by Dick Bell, sought support from Carleton County Council to construct a hospital. The request was denied by provincial government. In 1973, the planning group for the hospital started a petition to be signed by regional government officials. That step opened the door for a delegation, including Jean Pigott, MP for Ottawa-Carleton, Aubrey Moodie and Garry Cardiff, to meet face-to-face with Premier William Davis. At the end of the intense meeting, with Premier Davis’ words “…Jean, you never could take no for an answer…” the final go-ahead funding was granted. After that hospital construction started in 1974, the need for community-based psychiatric healthcare was evidenced by long waiting lists at The Royal Ottawa Hospital. Queensway Carleton Hospital made its debut in the community by opening its first program, a store-front psychiatric out-patient clinic in Bells Corners in March 1974. By late 1975, a Board of Directors had been formed with Aubrey Moodie as President and Chairman. The framework for the new organization was established with Garry Cardiff as the first Chief Executive Officer. Early staff, referred to as “the hardhatters”, worked out of trailers and in a semi-finished building in the middle of a field. Staff hires were conducted by ushering candidates along unlit corridors with flashlights, dodging lumber and wiring and guiding the candidates across board walkways over muddy terrain – while wearing their hard hats at all times. On March 8, 1976, construction was near completion and QCH was set to welcome its first inpatient, 88-year-old Stella Monaghan, a long-time Nepean resident. Mrs. Monaghan led the way for a group of 12 geriatric patients admitted to the hospital’s fourth floor that day. Queensway Carleton Hospital was officially opened by Premier William Davis on October 5, 1976. The hospital was opened as a 240-bed facility built on its cornerstone programs: Emergency Services (designed to handle 30,000 patient visits annually); Medical and Surgical Services (supported by clinical specialties as well as diagnostic and therapeutic services); Mental Health Services and Geriatric Services. As QCH prepared for its 10 year anniversary, emergency visits hovered around 59,000, patients waited in areas such as emergency observation and day surgery recovery for inpatient admission, chronic care patients in acute care beds, and long waiting lists for clinics continued to stretch staff and physician resources. The hospital now had just over 900 staff, 200 physicians and more than 400 volunteers. The focus was on maintaining high quality patient care under extreme patient volumes.

the best In 1986, the addition of state-of-the-art diagnostic services ensured patients were provided pr available tools at QCH. 1989 marked a number of firsts as Dr. Adrien Bernard, a QCH Radiologist performed a new procedure which involved inserting a self-expanding stent into obstructed bile ducts, replacing the need for catheters and external draining tubes for the patient. It was a first in Canada. He would again in 1998, become the first Canadian Radiologist to perform a new radiology procedure that removes fibrous growths delaying or eliminating the need for a hysterectomy. Growth was finally recognized for QCH in 1997 with the province’s Health Services Restructuring Commission. QCH was mandated to change its program concentrations. With the closure of The Salvation Army Grace Hospital, QCH took on the low-risk maternal newborn program. In addition, CT Scan services were added to the list of the hospital’s growing diagnostic functions. By December 2002, the hospital received its first commitment from the province for much needed expansion to our facilities and the following are some of the many milestones QCH has enjoyed since: • June 2003 – Groundbreaking for new Emergency Department, ICU and inpatient beds. • September 2004 - QCH opened the new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) service. • January 2005 – new Emergency Department, ICU and medicine units open. • March 2006 - the Ontario government announced plans for a satellite cancer centre. • November 2007 – Launch of Total Joint Assessment Clinic (TJAC). • February 2008 - Thanks to a $9 million gift from Dan Greenberg, the cancer centre was named the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre. • January 2010 – The Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre opens. • September 2012- James Beach Health Care Centre opens. The new 4 story tower include 10 new operating rooms, ambulatory care facilities, a rehabilitation centre, support services and a partnership with The Ottawa Hospital’s Nephrology Program to bring the dialysis service to west-end patients. The Shirley E. Greenberg Breast Imaging Suite also opens. • January 2014 – Premier Wynne announces approval for the Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit. • October 2016 – The Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit will open. The hospital was built thanks to the efforts of a community who believed the need for comprehensive, accessible healthcare was paramount to making the west end a success. Today, the 264-bed facility and its more than 1,900 employees, 300-plus physicians and 600-plus volunteers, have helped shape west Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley - and plan to carry on that tradition into the future. arleton Hospital will continue to be a vital part of this community and the rregion for the Queensway Carleton next 40 years and beyond.

Calls to City of Ottawa fraud and waste hotline almost double Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There was a 92 per cent jump in calls to the city’s fraud and waste hotline last year and 2016 is tracking in the same direction, according to the city’s Auditor General Ken Hughes. That’s an increase in 2015 up to 319 calls, from 166 that were made in 2014. The annual report on the hotline was released to the city’s audit committee on June 20. Hughes said the spike in calls is likely due to increasing confidence that reports to the hotline actually leads to action at city hall. “They know their reports will be taken seriously and have faith in the anonymity,” Hughes said. And the faith has paid off. Six employees were terminated as a result of tips, another resigned after attending a training session for another employer while on medical leave. Two employees were canned for stealing and selling copper. Another

Coun. Allan Hubley employee was fired for stealing $68 from a city facility. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais asked Hughes if there is a breakdown of costs to other departments for investigating the claims. But several committee members said it’s in the city’s best interests to ferret out any wrongdoing, no matter the scale. “I think the cost of not doing anything is higher,” said West Carleton Coun.

Eli El-Chantiry. Kanata South Coun. and committee chair Allan Hubley said if someone gets away with stealing $50, they’re likely to try it again. “These investigations are in the taxpayer’s best interests,” he said. The investigations don’t always deal with missing property or money. One employee was fired after it was determined they had falsified information in a provincial database to hide the fact that work wasn’t being completed. Another employee was fired after taking sick leave to work another job. One worker got the boot after not showing up to work after not being able to find a colleague to cover a planned vacation. While the calls to the hotline continue to increase, the budget shrinks. There are eight staff members in the Office of the Auditor General, two full-time auditors handle the fraud and waste hotline. The numbers suggest that the file

work takes up 25 per cent of what the office does. According to the statistics compiled by Hughes, Ottawa has the lowest budget for an auditor’s office in Canada, and that budget has shrunk incrementally each year since 2009. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson broached the idea of looking at the budget, since the call volume remains high, but Hughes said he knows the city’s budget is tight and there are other things vying for city money. City manager Steve Kanellakos said the majority of city staff are great workers, but said he takes a hard line with those who abuse the system. Kanellakos said a lot of the tips came from fellow

workers, who expect their superiors to deal with the situation. Top six categories for complaints to the fraud and waste hotline in 2015: • 84 calls: Unauthorized use or misuse of city property, information or time • 39: Violation of laws, regulations, policies or procedures • 26: Unethical conduct or conflict of interest • 24: Suggestions for improvement • 21: Theft, embezzlement or fraud • 7: Health, safety, environment CASH HANDLING

As part of the committee meeting, Hughes also tabled

a report on recommendations around the cash handling practices of the city’s Service Ontario client service centres. The recommendations, there are 26 in total, came as a result of cash discrepancies at the city hall location, totalling $1,075 in July of last year. Kanellakos said that the service locations handle $1 million in cash annually, and while the missing money is troubling, it’s a fraction of the overall cash handled each year. He added many of the auditor’s recommendations surrounding cash and change floats are already in place.

Harry with the Heaves held a special place in Mary’s heart

y brother Emerson said I wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to the farm animals. Except for the cows, which I wasn’t too fond of, I wanted all the others for pets. Emerson said if I had any brains, I would know that you didn’t raise livestock for pets. Eventually, they would go off to market, or end up in the smoke house! But I tended to put those thoughts out of my mind. Even after my pet black lamb ended up on the supper table one night, sending me into hysterics and turning me against lamb for the rest of my life, I still thought I could make pets out of the farm animals. Even though I wasn’t too fond of the cows, I loved the calves. It was no chore for me to feed a sickly calf from a bottle, until it was able to feed itself. Holding

MARY COOK Memories a screeching baby pig, with its soft body feeling like that of a real live baby, filled me with the utmost joy. And then there was poor old Harry with the Heaves. He was never called just plain Harry. It was Harry with the Heaves. Harry was a horse that had been around the farm long before I was born, and I loved him with a passion. Apart from the heaves, he had a sway where you could rest a couple bags of grain if you were so moved, and that was why he had the heaves,

Father said. Harry with the Heaves was no longer able to do any farm work, and my sister Audrey said the only reason he was still kept around, was because Father knew how much I loved the poor old horse. He didn’t eat much, which maybe helped too. Harry with the Heaves didn’t move around like the other horses, preferring to stand at the fence behind the barn, resting his head on the rails. Every day I would put a halter on him,

and walk him very slowly around the barnyard. We wouldn’t be gone a dozen steps, when the heaves would start. They seemed to come right from his hooves. And I would stop and let him heave away until the spasm passed, and then we would walk around another few steps, with his head getting lower and lower to the ground. The few times we hitched him to the buggy, it was like we were giving him a new lease on life. There were strict orders from Father not to run Harry with the Heaves ... just let him move at his own pace, which wasn’t very fast. But I could tell he loved pulling the buggy. And we would circle the barnyard a couple times, until he could no longer breathe easily. But it was enough to make the old horse feel he was needed, even if we really weren’t going anywhere. Other sickly animals

would just disappear, and I knew perfectly well what their fate was. But Harry with the Heaves lived on, contributing nothing to the work load of the other horses, just living day by day with his condition getting worse right before my eyes. And then one day, when I came home from school, I couldn’t see Harry with the Heaves anywhere. I thought he may have wandered into the field behind the barn, but no, he wasn’t there. I may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer, just like my brother Emerson said, but no one had to tell me that Harry with the Heaves wouldn’t be around any more. Nothing was said about his missing. Not a word from Father, the brothers ... no one said a word. He was just gone. And I knew, without anyone telling me, that my beloved horse was no more. Not a word was

spoken about his end. It was as if Harry with the Heaves had never existed. A deep sadness came over me. My horse was gone. Like so many disappointments, and sad happenings on the farm, there was no discussion … no explanation. It was thought the less said the better. I cried for Harry with the Heaves only when I was alone. And I prayed wherever he had gone, he would be hale and hearty, running around with other horses, eating the finest hay and oats, his back in shape, and the heaves a thing of the past. To ease the pain in my heart, I had to believe it. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Rob Ganley, senior communications ofﬁcer at the Camping and Caravanning Club, advises that choosing the right tent for your family is vital. You need ensure that you have room for everyone and everything in case inclement weather forces you inside for more than to sleep.

Eastern Ontario has some of the best camping locations in the province with everything from the vast and wild Algonquin Park to family-oriented campgrounds such as Bon Echo, Fitzroy Harbour, Sharbot Lake and many more. With modern camping equipment and a little planning, families can

Other essential camping equipment includes camping beds and bedding, cooking equipment and lanterns or ﬂashlights. Most families will also pack a variety of things to use while camping, such as bats and balls, bikes, camping chairs, water toys and whatever the family may choose for their individual camping experience. Other essentials include toilet paper and wet wipes, a well-stocked ﬁrst aid kit, matches, ready to eat or canned food and a large container for water. And don’t let a baby stop you from camping. There are lots of travel items on the market, such as travel sterilisers and pre-sterilised cups, and good family sites have immaculate baby changing facilities and even baby baths.

CAMPING WITH KIDS

A safe camping experience is an enjoyable experience, so plan for unpredictable weather and bring enough food, clothing and equipment to keep you and your family comfortable and entertained. Rebecca Lees offers advice for stress-free camping with children. “Camping with kids is great family fun. When your camping trip includes young children some extra planning and precautions will make the trip more enjoyable and memorable.” Though kids should be free to explore and appreciate the great outdoors, it’s best to teach young

children to stay within eyesight of an adult. If they realize they’re lost, emphasize that they should find a nearby tree and stay there until someone finds them. It’s a good idea for children to carry a whistle around their neck to call for help when lost. To make living in cramped quarters easier, parents should sort and pack each day’s clothing in individual bags in his/her suitcase so your child can grab a bag in the morning and have a full set of clothes for the day. At night dirty clothes can go back in the bag to keep the suitcase cleaner and organized. Remember that kids will get cold faster than adults in the evening. “The key to comfortable camping with kids is to dress them in several layers, which can be peeled off as they get warm or added on as they cool off.” Provide each child with a flashlight. To prevent any arguments, make sure each one has their own. “Children love to play with the flashlights, and having one also makes them more at ease after dark. Flashlights are also handy when making trips to the restroom, for making shadow puppets on tent walls, and for reading before bed.” Always teach kids to treat the outdoors kindly. Make sure all waste is disposed of properly when camping or hiking along the trails. “Camping with children is more fun when you bring a playmate along. Two or more children will entertain themselves for longer periods than will a single child.”

ESCAPE

& EXPLORE 2016

Travel the Rideau for an historic boat experience Looking for a memorable and unique vacation adventure? Look no further than The Rideau Canal. The Rideau Canal is a scenic, historic waterway that winds its way through eastern Ontario to connect the city of Kingston on Lake Ontario with Ottawa. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the canal was originally built by the British after the War of 1812 to provide a secure link between Montreal and Kingston. Colonel By of the Royal Engineers was in charge of the project and the town settled at the north end of the system was originally known as Bytown, now called Ottawa. With 47 locks in 25 separate lock stations, the 202 kilometer route is mostly natural river and lakes, with only about 19 kilometers manmade. Today it is a haven for water enthusiasts and boaters of all kinds. To see the Rideau Canal, you can either you can travel by boat in the canal itself, or you can drive alongside. Some people like to cycle this route.

SEEING THE RIDEAU FROM THE WATER

If you have a boat capable of making the journey, you can go on an inland adventure, or go for a guided tour from any of the many operators along the route. The Canal is generally open to boat traffic from May 20 to October 12. It can be covered in as little as three days by boat, but a more leisurely pace will allow you time to enjoy the many sights and interesting communities along the shoreline. Though some people do the entire Rideau, others travel just a section. With over 1,100 km of shoreline, there is plenty to capture your attention. For a successful boating excursion, it’s always best to plan your route. There are lots of online resources to help you determine what you’ll need to bring and what you can get along the way. Start by determining how far you want to go. Make sure you build in time to swim, fish, visit, shop and dine. You will need to find a launching and exit locations to suit your journey, unless it will be round trip. There are guide books such as the

Rideau Boating and Road Guide and the Ports Guide to help with route planning. It’s always wise to have nautical charts too, available for online ordering from Ontario Travel Guides. Get your charts at the start of your planning so you can become familiar with them before setting out. Remember to take your time and enjoy the ride. An average trip of ﬁve days to a week will give you plenty of time to sightsee and relax. Travelling through a lock can take about 30 minutes if there is no lineup.

HOW TO GET THERE

By water, enter the Rideau at Kingston Mills lock station (from the St. Lawrence/Lake Ontario) or enter at Ottawa from the Ottawa River. If trailering, there are a multitude of access points along the Rideau as well as marinas with ramp access.

SERVICES ALONG THE RIDEAU

It is easy to provision from the many grocery stores along the route in waterway towns such as Seeleys Bay, Newboro, Westport, Portland, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Manotick. In addition to the grocery outlets and fuel depots, most marinas and a few of the lock stations supply ice. Fuel and pump outs are available from many marinas along the Rideau. Some offer gas and diesel. For those without an on-board head, all lock stations have public washrooms as do most of the marinas. Dockage between the marinas and the lock stations is available and can be pre-arranged. Camping is available at local campgrounds, including two Provincial Parks, or at most lock stations. Traveling The Rideau by water is memorable holiday adventure, no matter what kind of boat you use. The lovely scenery will enchant you while you explore the rich history of the waterway. Take time to photograph the abundant waterfowl and wildlife, stop for a refreshing swim, or enjoy a picnic at a lock station or mooring. To break up the journey, welcoming small towns such as Newboro, Portland, Westport or Merrickville are great for a shopping excursion

on shore. No matter how you do, you won’t

forget time spent on The Rideau Canal.

Connected to your community

Clean your house the healthy way Jake Cole

This is another one of our healthy series articles on how to get and stay healthy. In our earlier articles, we covered food choices, judging that food is a very important part of your health. It also happens to be the one thing that is almost totally within your control: you have the final say in what goes in your mouth. However there are a lot of other actions that you can take to improve your health that you might not know about. Some of these can be in your control while others, sadly, are not. Here is a rather disquieting situation, a hypothetical one, but one that likely plays out regularly. Consider that there’s a special fundraising event underway, a walk to cure cancer. People from all over the community are giving up their time to

raise money for this worthy cause. It’s ironic, perhaps tragically so, that these wellmeaning volunteers may be adding to their own level of cancer risk at the same time as they do their service to help cure the disease. For example, on that morning, did they apply cosmetic and personal care products that contain cancer-promoting chemicals? Did they apply a sunscreen that not only doesn’t do much to stop sun damage but also contains chemicals that actually cause cancer? Were they wearing a freshly dry cleaned garment with a chemical residue that can cause respiratory illness and cancer? Did they drive over in a car with that ‘new car’ smell, one that indicates cancer-causing chemicals are outgassing in the car? Did they microwave their

breakfast in a plastic container? Did they clean up their kitchen using cleaners containing carcinogens? Scary, isn’t it? Well there is help out there, at least to deal with that last point. You don’t have use all those nasty cleaners to deal with dirt and grime in the home. In fact, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to do a proper job of cleaning either. At the same time, you won’t have to worry about exposing yourself or your family to dangerous products or airborne residues. free info

So how to learn more about this? One good source is very close to home: the City of Ottawa’s website, under the title, “Safer Alternatives for Household Products.”

Chico was one-year-old in May of this year. He is a purebred Biewer Yorkshire Terrier. A handsome little fella!!! Chico is extremely rambunctious and spunky, he enjoys being chased as he is a master of eluding with his extreme speed. Chico also enjoys playing fetch but his ultimate favourite game to play is tug of war with his toys, growling like he’s a 300 lb. bear, but hardly scary. Chico will stare you down until his amazing eyes just compel you to play with him. He enjoys walks no matter what the weather, the first time he experienced snow, he seemed like a seasoned professional the way he vaults himself through the fresh snow or stealthy and fearlessly navigates his way on ice.

ChiCo

I look forward to his greeting at the door every time we walk in, it’s like the first time he sees us. Guessing he probably loves his family very much as much as we love him. Life just wouldn’t be the same without my little buddy Chico keeping me company and cheering on the SENS!!!

Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK’’? Submit a picture and short biography of your pet to find out! Simply email to: dtherien@metroland.com – attention “Pet of the Week’’

For your everyday cleaning needs, it lists some easy to find cheap items like baking soda, lemon juice, and vinegar that you may already have in your home along with a few other, still cheap but a little harder to find items like borax and washing soda. These few, safe products will make up your cleaning toolkit and allow you to take on almost every cleaning job you will face. There are other similar, and free, sources available to you and most, are just a computer click away. The Canadian non-profit organization, Environmental Defence, puts out reports on such subjects as safer forms of dry cleaning and

healthier cleaning methods. Look under Reports and Guides on their website (see below). One of my favorites is the Environmental Working Group based in the U.S.A. That agency provides comprehensive guides to such things as safer cosmetics and sunscreen products. There are a few more listed below. So what’s the bottom line here? Check out the household products you have in your house right now. Look at the ingredients listed. If you have no idea what they are, they likely are not safe for you. Worse still, not all such ingredients even have to be listed in Canada so you may not know what’s in it.

Try out some of these safer cleaning ideas and ditch those commercial products that may be doing you harm. To do it safely, you should take them to one of Ottawa’s periodic hazardous waste disposal days because some of those products are hazardous to you and our environment.

Mild Cognitive Impairment

Moderate Cognitive Impairment Score 4

Severe Cognitive Impairment Score 2

The Clock Test* is often used as a tool to measure various levels of dementia of which there are up to 100. Although taking the test is easy, finding a home that offers the level of care for your loved one can definitely be challenging. You want a community where staff are: engaging, attentive and see beyond the diagnosis. At Bridlewood Trails, we offer an outstanding memory care experience. While providing daily activities and therapies to help stimulate cognition, we add purpose to every day. Our staff nurture and customize individual care to ensure you have peace of mind and your loved one lives every moment to its fullest.

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, there is much you want others to know about you this week, but you’re not ready to share all of the details just yet. Continue to bide your time, sharing only when it feels right. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 There’s not much you can do to change a current situation, Taurus. Step away for a bit and let the pieces fall where they may. Then you can develop a strategy. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You have a new goal this week, Gemini, but others are not as receptive to your ideas as you hoped they would be. You may need to fine tune things. Be persistent. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, resolve to make the most of this week even if it seems difficult to do so. Seek support from friends or family members willing to lend an ear or a helping hand. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, take a few moments to recharge this week. You have been going at a breakneck pace for too long, and now it’s time to slow things down. Use some vacation time if you can. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others are routinely drawn to your unique personality. Make the most of others’ warm reception and do your best to return the favor whenever you can.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your magnetism can draw others to you like a moth to a flame, and that has helped you establish lasting friendships and build strong relationships. Cherish your good fortune. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your super sense of humor is on full display this week, when you have an opportunity to be the life of a party. Spend as much time in the limelight as you can. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, so much is going on that the week seems like it may stretch on forever. Just take things one day at a time and enjoy your full schedule while it lasts. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take some time for yourself this week, Aquarius. You have earned a little R&R, and now is the perfect time to prioritize some fun and excitement. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, channel your creative energy into a special project. Invite others to join in the project and let things go where your creativity takes you. 0630
