KRC, park revamp in the works Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is floating the idea of an official running and cycling track at Walter Baker Park near the Kanata Recreation Complex.

The councillor is also looking at the possibility of upgrading the recreation facility with an addition, a digital sign to promote programming, events and

generate ad revenue, and is in talks with sponsors who would receive naming rights.

“This is a priority for me.

This is something I want to get done,” he said.

Walter Baker Park, located off Terry Fox Drive, needs a new name since it’s sometimes confused with the Walter Baker Sports Centre in Nepean, he said.

‘It’s going to be good for the community’: councillor to operate the facility.

A potential sponsor – although he wouldn’t say who – wants to build a two-storey addition onto the facility with public space and sports use on the main level and offices on the top, said Hubley.

“There’s lots of different options for what this could

“We talked to the Baker family and worked out what that’s going to look like,” Hubley said. “We’re not going to lose that recognition piece, we’re just going to take away the confusion.”

The city would continue

look like. We’re going into it with a very open mind,” he said. “We’ve already talked to several different potential sponsors about different packages and what it would look like.”

He said public consultation on the project will most likely happen after the proj-

ect gets rolling.

“Probably once something’s starting to come together really, really well we’ll try and get consultation going really fast before anything’s signed,” said Hubley.

“At the earliest possible time I will want to go out and talk to the community.

“Whatever happens, it’s going to be good for the community. It’s going to be a better park and location for folks or else we don’t go ahead and do it.”

The 2.5 kilometre race track identified in a draft plan is a mix of paved, unpaved and gravel paths. If necessary, the track could be completely paved and the shape of the path would be altered.

The councillor is in talks with various running groups to see if this is something they would use. An official track would help groups cut down on insurance costs for

race events, he said.

“When you organize a race, where your insurance costs and everything go high is because you’re trying to do road closures, you need a lot of volunteers to man those road closures. If it involves an intersection, you have to hire police,” said Hubley.

“It drives your costs way up. If we could do races or walks in the park, you don’t need any of those costs. So you could actually organize a race for very little cost.”

Hubley said if all goes well, he’s hoping to have the project finished by 2017.

West Ottawa Board of Trade welcomes new executive director Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The West Ottawa Board of Trade has a new executive director who is putting her focus on continuing to grow the business chamber.

Sueling Ching, who came on board last month, is working on strategic initiatives to build the strength and number of member businesses following the board of trade’s merger with the Nepean Chamber of Commerce in 2014.

“We’re still very much in that transitional stage,” said Ching, 48. “We were a strong chamber; our expectation was that we’d be doubly strong.

We’re probably not, we’re probably less than that – bigger than we were but less that we thought we’d be.”

West Ottawa had about 400 members and the Nepean chamber was reported to have about 250 member businesses when the two organizations voted to merge. A number of

business members voiced concerns before the merge, worried the large size of the organization meant people would fall through the cracks.

Currently, the merged board of trade has about 500 members.

“That’s business; when you make a big change like that, that’s going to happen,” said Ching. “I feel 100 per cent confident that over the next year we will start to rebuild and rebuild our membership strength and rebuild our ability to influence and serve.”

Ching, who lives in Brockville, is the former executive director of the Brockville Chamber of Commerce, CEO of the Brockville and area YMCA, and is a small business owner of a home-based health and wellness business.

“Sueling brings with her a passion for local business and has over 25 years experience in community development and the non-profit sector,” said Mark Nisbett, board

Abelle photographie

Sueling Ching, 48, joins the West Ottawa Board of Trade as its new exective director. chair of the board of trade.

“I am confident this appointment will ensure the West Ottawa Board of Trade continues to grow as the voice of business for the west Ottawa community.”

The board of trade serves

the areas of Kanata, West Carleton, Stittsville, Nepean and Barrhaven. The size of the business community under the board of trade’s jurisdiction provides a “huge opportunity,” said Ching.

The strategic plan, which will be launched in the fall following board approval, focuses on clarity of vision, greater collaboration among organi-

zations to achieve goals, and enhanced communication.

“We need to be better at communicating the value that we have to offer to the membership in the entire area,” she said.

“We’re very focused on providing opportunities for our members to learn things that will impact their business in a significant and immediate way.”

For Ching, this includes staying on top of what’s new and what’s working and then composing that into easily digestible pieces.

“There’s a lot out there.

When you’re running a business it’s difficult to stay on top of everything that’s available to you,” she said. “We’d like to be in a position to help our businesses really make sure that they’re spending their valuable time in a useful way.”

Having received a warm welcome and attended a few events, Ching said she’s confident as the plans move forward.

“What I have found in my very short time here is the exact same as I found at

the Brockville Chamber of Commerce – an astounding amount of dedication among the members to contribute to collaborate with other businesses to learn and to grow for the sake of their own business but also the community as a whole,” she said.

“That gives me reason to be optimistic about the outcomes. I’m looking forward to getting to know some new people in the community.”

Ching takes over the position from Rosemary Leu, who moved to B.C. earlier this year following the health scare of a loved one.

Leu worked at the board of trade for six years. She oversaw the board’s name change to the West Ottawa Board of Trade (from the Kanata Chamber of Commerce) and the amalgamation of the board of trade with the former Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce.

Leu was described as one of the pillars and greatest proponents of west Ottawa businesses.

March Road, train bridge most dangerous to cyclists: report Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

March Road and a narrow train bridge along Carling Avenue pose the greatest dangers to commuter cyclists in Kanata.

The results of a cycling blitz that ended at the Kanata North Business Park are calling on the city to improve cycling infrastructure in the west end. Travel on March Road, as well under the train bridge located near 3701 Carling Ave., present the most dangerous challenges to cyclists, said Julie Gourley, program co-ordinator of Sustain Kanata North.

The safest route was along Terry Fox Drive, where there are bike lanes and a multiuse path.

Dozens of cyclists took part in the one-hour event in early May, biking five different routes to the business area. The report was released July 20.

“The biggest Achilles heel is March Road; there needs to be alternatives to cycling on the road,” said Gourley.

“The report has some suggestions on what can be done about it.”

MARCH ROAD

For those travelling northbound to the business park from south Kanata, Beaverbook and Village Green, there is no obvious way to avoid using March Road, said Gourley.

High vehicle speeds combined with heavy traffic and

multiple lanes can discourage less experienced cyclists.

The recommendation from the group includes creating linking pathways through the KNL lands – located near the Beaver Pond and South March Highlands areas – making the route “as direct as possible” and creating a temporary path until construction of new homes is finished.

The report also recommends making improvements to the bike lanes on March Road by reducing the current speed limit and using green paint to call attention to “conflict zones.”

route is needed through or around the Carling Avenue train bridge, said Gourley.

The narrow roadway under the bridge means cyclists must “take the lane” – no easy feat when contending with heavy traffic moving at 80 kilometres an hour or faster.

Signs posted before the bridge entrances prohibit

vehicles from passing cyclists on this stretch but many drivers don’t heed the warning. Cyclists taking part in the blitz said they are regularly passed, including on the day of the event, said Gourley.

It’s the most direct route from the east and is favoured by experienced commuter cyclists. The group

recommends installing traffic signals to stop vehicles or constructing a side route around the bridge for cyclists to make it safer.

A second group travelling from Ottawa used NCC asphalt paths along Watts Creek in the Greenbelt.

Dozens of cyclers and their supporters gather at the Kanata North technology park after participating in EnviroCentre’s Cycle-In event on May 4. The event had cyclers take various routes to the tech park, while taking notes, photos and video to document the state of cycling routes, as well as what repairs or improvements might be needed.

Sustain Kanata North releases cycling report, calls for infrastructure fixes

Two groups travelling from the west – one from West Carleton, the other from Stittsville, Arcadia, and parts of Kanata Lakes – had the easiest route along Terry Fox Drive.

The biggest surprise from the cycling blitz was hearing from many people who want to bike to work but don’t feel .COM

COMMUNITY news

TERRY FOX DRIVE

WANT TO CYCLE

The paths are wide with good sight lines, says the report. The only issue was when the group turned off the NCC path to cross Carling at Burke Road.

During rush hour, traffic is heavy and cyclists have to wait to cross. The path on the other side is dirt and loose gravel, and very muddy in wet weather. The path isn’t maintained and leads to private roads by the Marshes Golf Course, used by cyclists to reach the business area.

Recommendations include a signalized cross-over at the end of Burke Road and upgrading the dirt path that connects Carling to the golf course.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she’s already been in touch with the NCC about grading the path, but hasn’t heard back.

“They should be maintaining it there,” she said. “The cyclists like (the NCC path) because it keeps them away from the road.”

With very little turning traffic, well-paved and marked bike lanes, and a multi-use pathway, “Terry Fox is a fabulous way to bike in,” said Gourley.

The only issues were minor, including the bike lane disappearing near the Centrum plaza, gouges in the bike lanes, and bus drivers stopping in the bike lanes.

comfortable, said Gourley.

“They can’t (bike to work) because of the missing infrastructure in key places,” she said. “A lot of people want to bike to work but can’t.”

The Kanata North business area employs about 21,000 people and half of them live within a five-kilometre radius.

The area is “an excellent candidate for investment in cycling infrastructure,” said Gourley. “I think if we improve the cycling infrastructure and the transit, it would be significant.”

Wilkinson said she will be looking for both short- and long-term fixes for the area.

Short-term goals include a multi-use path to Shirley’s Brook and cutting high curbs.

The cycling blitz was hosted by EnviroCentre, a notfor-profit organization that offers services and programs aimed at conserving energy and improving the environment, as part of its Sustain Kanata North initiative.

Serving Kanata north

City Councillor, Kanata north INNOVATION STATION PARK & RIDE UPDATE – The construction for the new station is going as planned.

Concrete work is well underway and will continue for the next 2-3 weeks. Installment of sidewalks, curbs, platforms and multi-use pathways are included. Access for pedestrians is provided on the west side only on Innovation Drive and on the north side only on Terry Fox Drive. The work may have an impact on traffic around the Park & Ride site and it is best to avoid it when possible. All work is being done during off-peak hours to help keep traffic moving.

REMINDER - PUBLIC MEETING - BUS SERVICE CHANGES, August 18, 7-9 pm, Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata (Minto Room), 4101 Innovation Dr. – Due to the new Park and Ride at Innovation mentioned above, bus routes will undergo major changes starting on January 3rd. I have received comments already regarding these changes; don’t miss your chance to have your say and make final comments or suggestions. See details on my website and on takeaways on the buses. Comments are welcome by e-mail prior to the meeting – send to OC Transpo and copy me.

TICKS & LYME DISEASE – Have been found present throughout the Ottawa area, including Kanata North.

Ticks are primarily found in tall grass, bushes, wooded and forested areas. Here’s a few prevention tips: apply a repellent containing DEET to exposed skin/clothing, wear long pants and sleeves, wear shoes with socks and tuck pants into socks, wear light coloured clothing, if possible stay on trails when hiking or walking through the woods and always do a “full body” check on yourself, children and animals after coming in from outside. For more information on prevention, what to do if you find a tick and the signs and symptoms of Lyme disease visit Ottawa.ca. Pick up a tick removal kit at my ward office - e-mail me to find a time when the office is open to pick up yours!

MY ROLE AS COUNCILLOR has many facets. I originally came to the position from being a volunteer in the community and wanting to help to maintain the concepts for the new City that was being planned. Over the years I’ve held many roles but the key one remains to be the conduit and voice for the community, primarily on issues that impact the community – which not only includes those in the Ward but those impacting the City as a whole. At a recent event, when a resident was termed a shepherd because he looked after and cared for others, it struck me that my role as Councillor is also like a shepherd. When a shepherd cares for sheep under his/her care it is the sheep that are important, not the shepherd. In my case, it is the residents who are important and my role is to ensure that, as far as possible, their needs are met. Since the views and needs of individual residents may vary (and sometimes be on opposite grounds) the difficult part is to judge those views against City policies and procedures, on feasibility of making something happen and on the impact of others before deciding on a route to follow. Next week I’ll give some examples on how this works.

KANATA FOOD CUPBOARD provides an important service to those who need a helping hand in our community. I’ve heard from many regarding how the Kanata Food Cupboard has helped them out during tough times such as layoffs or illness. Many only need the services for a short time but others face longer term challenges. One of the needs is school supplies so this month help out by donating school supplies as well as food (which is always needed).

Opinion

Connected to your community

Investigation must be thorough

C

an we all agree on a couple of things?

Can we all agree that the Ottawa police officers now under investigation after a man died following an arrest July 24 did not wake up that morning and set out to hurt somebody?

Can we all agree that police should be held to extremely high standards when they use force? That any use of force against citizens must be absolutely necessary? And that, after a full investigation, police who use excessive force should have to face the consequences of their actions if they are deemed to have crossed the line, just as residents who don’t wear a badge must?

There are some people who think if police are involved in an incident that goes bad, particularly if it involves interactions with visible minorities, then the police must be guilty of something nefarious.

And there are others who, regardless of what a police officer does, will defend an officer’s actions no matter what. They will always give police the benefit of the doubt by constantly pointing out that the average citizen can’t ever know the pressures an officer faces in the line of duty and thus can never really judge an officer’s actions because they haven’t walked

in that officer’s shoes.

The people who hold such views, on both sides of that divide, will never see eye to eye when it comes to incidents such as the death of Abdirahman Abdi, 37.

The man died after police responded to a call about a disturbance at a coffee shop in which it is alleged the dead man was involved, according to police Chief Charles Bordeleau, in “assaultive” behaviour.

The provincial Special Investigations Unit – the civilian police watchdog – is currently investigating what happened after Ottawa police responded to the call on July 24.

As the reaction to the Const. James Forcillo’s sentencing for attempted murder in Toronto last week shows, the police-are-always-wrong and the policeare-always-right camps will continue to make their political arguments regardless of outcomes.

But for the majority of residents of this city, who fall into neither of those two camps, what is wanted is justice based on what a thorough and transparent investigation determines.

Justice should indeed be blind – regardless of whether a person under investigation wears a badge or not.

Loving the germs around us

I

f you haven’t heard of Jason Tetro, the self-proclaimed “germ guy,” you may want to check him out.

The microbiologist and author published a second book earlier this year on a subject many of us don’t like to think about – the billions of germs that exist in our environment and evolve rapidly, using our bodies as incubators.

But here’s the thing: Tetro’s research shows that of germs that exist, there are about 12 damaging ones that most of us are exposed to regularly; there are some passive bystanders; and then there are tens of thousands of good germs, which we should be seeking out and embracing.

As we move into the post-antibiotic era, Tetro believes people need

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse to get away from a war-againstgerm mentality toward a more loving relationship.

We should be seeking out good germs to ward off the bad by touching dirt, wiping our hands under our armpits and eating fermented foods.

He warns against getting sucked into savvy marketing scams around probiotic-boosted foods like yogurt, however.

“I calculated at one time with one particular type of yogurt that

I needed to eat 1,000 little tubs” to get the probiotic benefits, Tetro told the CBC earlier this year, following the release of his second book, The Germ Files.

Similarly, he says, not all probiotic pills have been proven in clinical trials and may be completely ineffective.

“If all you’re doing is popping pills of bacteria, well, you might as well go eat some dirt,” said Tetro.

For those of us living in the urban environment – especially if we’re living in close quarters high density buildings like condominium towers or hospitals – we are more likely to be victims of bad germs.

Bad germs contribute to infections, poor mental health, allergies and asthma. Some studies have made the connection between bad

germ exposure and increased incidence of arthritis and even certain forms of cancer.

But Tetro has some solid tips on how to go out and love the good germs, which will fight the war against the pathogens for you.

“When you put good germs in there, they’re the cavalry,” Tetro told the CBC. “It will shove the bad bacteria out of the way because they love the intestinal lining more than the bad germs do.”

They say you are what you eat.

Rather than pill-popping, Tetro recommends eating two fermented foods each day. Some of his favourites are sauerkraut, pickles, kefir and kombucha, helping us to get the five billion units of good bacteria required daily to maintain good health.

Get outside – even better if you can escape the city altogether, says Tetro.

defence against the bad microbes.

Even opening a window is better than existing in a sterile environment, where pathogens are most likely to evolve and multiply. Tetro says this is something we’ve known for more than 100 years.

“Florence Nightingale was able to stop hospital infections by opening windows,” Tetro said.

Councillors keep spotlight on potential highway ramp closure Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

While the Ministry of Transportation is working to potentially close the ramp from Carling Avenue to eastbound Highway 417, near Westgate, local councillors aren’t letting the issue pass quietly.

Kitchissppi Coun. Jeff Leiper and River ward Coun. Riley Brockington recently sent a letter to the ministry letting them know they and their constituents aren’t happy about the proposal.

“Unanimity of opinion is a rare and wonderful thing in Ottawa’s urban wards,” the letter begins, later expressing that residents have a “profound opposition to shutting down the ramp.”

“We are raising legitimate concerns from a city perspective or a municipal perspective that affect our residents this is not a NIMBY kneejerk reaction,” Brockington said in a recent interview.

In the letter, the councillors propose that the 417 widening ends at Carling Avenue and the additional lane becomes an exit.

The highway would not be widenened over the Carling Avenue bridge. After both Carling eastbound on-ramps, the Queensway could again be widened.

The councillors are con-

cerned about where the 3,700 cars would go if the ramp were closed. Those cars were counted during a five-yearold traffic study.

Faced with no eastbound ramp, some of those drivers will use Coldrey Avenue, fears Brockington.

“You pass the community health centre, there’s going to be a new seniors residence there, we have St. Elizabeth school and a residential community,” Brockington said.

On the other end, people might use Parkdale Avenue, which is already congested.

“The ministry doesn’t think any vehicle will do that, and I think that’s just outrageous. Of course that’s going to happen,” Brockington said.

Even the ministry’s preferred route – a loop past Kirkwood Avenue – will cause problems for drivers, according to Brockington.

“To me it is just not possible. I don’t think that intersection (where Carling and Kirkwood meet north of Highway 417) can absorb the 3,700 vehicles,” especially with the traffic flowing off the highway onto Carling in “every which direction.”

He said it’s a recipe for further gridlock and more accidents.

Brockington was also struck by the fact the ministry didn’t taken into account the redevelopment of the Westgate shopping mall, or a new hospital that he said is

likely for the area.

Leiper said the goal of the letter is to put something in writing, with the hope that a solution to the operational and safety issues presented by the ministry can be found, which don’t include closing the ramp.

“I’m comfortable that we’ll come to a solution in the timeframe we need,” he said.

He added getting this project right the first time is extremely important and hopefully it can be worked out through the summer and potentially the month of September.

Leiper and Brockington have a meeting scheduled with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi in August to review the issue.

In a statement, Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, who is also the minister of infrastructure, said an environmental assessment will see if the on-ramp is meeting operational and safety requirements and no decision has been made.

“As a lifelong resident of Ottawa, I understand the impact that construction can have on local communities.

That is why we are committed to reducing these impacts as much as possible, by ensuring that the community is involved and well-informed.

All feedback will be carefully reviewed and considered before a decision is made,” the statement reads.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Pedestrian Crossovers (PXO) On January 1st, 2016, the Highway Traffic Act was revised to include a regulation which identifies a new type of Pedestrian Crossover. In Kanata South we currently have 4 Pedestrian Crossovers (PXO’s).

• Meadowbreeze at Wheatland • Pinehill between Peregrine and Brandy • Cope Rd. 100 metres west of Akerson • Stonehaven at Bridgestone/Steeplechase What is a Pedestrian Crossover?

Pedestrian Crossovers are designated areas that allow pedestrians to safely cross roads where vehicles must yield to pedestrians when crossing. Pedestrian Crossovers are identified by specific signs and pavement markings. In some cases, but not always, they may also have pedestrian activated flashing beacons.

Always watch for pedestrians at these crossings. Pedestrians should make an indication to vehicles that they want to cross and make eye contact with the driver before entering the roadway. At Pedestrian Crossovers equipped with flashing beacons, pedestrians may push a button to make the beacon flash to enhance driver’s awareness that they will be crossing. Drivers and cyclists must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in the crossover. Once pedestrians have cleared the entire roadway, drivers may proceed with caution. Note also that vehicles must not pass any other vehicle within 30 metres prior to a Pedestrian Crossover Roundabouts and Median Divided Roads • Currently, at roundabouts, vehicles have the right of way over pedestrians, except at single-lane roundabouts where Pedestrian Crossovers are installed.

At these locations, pedestrians have the right of way over vehicles.

• Most single-lane roundabouts in Ottawa will have Pedestrian Crossovers installed in 2016. Where the Pedestrian Crossover sign is installed, pedestrians have the right of way.

• Multi-lane or partial multi-lane roundabouts are being considered for Pedestrian Crossover installation, however this will not take place during the first year of the pilot program.

At single-lane roundabouts and roads with center medians, marked pedestrian crossovers are treated as two stage crossings with the median or splitter island providing a pedestrian refuge

Stage 2 LRT station connectivity focus of public meetings Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Already envision yourself catching the train for work and then walking or cycling from the light-rail station to your workplace?

Now’s your chance to help draft how the new transit stations within Stage 2 of Ottawa’s light-rail system east, west and south will link up with a greater network of pedestrian and cycling pathways and crosswalks.

The city is preparing to host a series of summer public consultation meetings as part of its Stage 2 Station Connectivity Study in an effort to get feedback on the 22 new LRT stations and how they fit into the bigger picture of getting from point A to point B in the city once LRT is up and running.

One of the upcoming meetings will focus on connections around the Walkley Station, as well as stations at Greenboro and South Keys along the extended southbound Trillium Line.

River Coun. Riley Brockington will join GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans for the Aug. 17 public meeting about stations that will be added at Walkley and South Keys.

The current Greenboro station will also be factored into the discussion.

Brockington will be focusing on the Walkley stop.

“I like the connectivity at that station now, but this is underscoring the need to speak to people who will walk and bike — not just taking the bus

to Walkley Station — to make sure their needs are addressed,” Brockington said.

Connectivity around that station will be important in order to allow people to easily get to and from the Sawmill Creek Pathway in the area, as well as the future multi-use pathway that will one day be built parallel to the nearby Airport Parkway on the west side, as part of the widening of that route.

The meetings will also be an ideal opportunity for residents to take a closer look at the plans for Stage 2,” Brockington said.

“So this is how it starts,” he said of the process.

SEPTEMBER WOULD BE BETTER

Still, the River Ward councillor isn’t as enthusiastic about the scheduling of the public meetings.

“I was trying to push consultations into September because I’m not a big fan of (summer meetings), but their (the city’s) own timelines for the project basically require them to get this piece of the project done in August, which is unfortunate,” Brockington said.

Meetings in the fall offer more people the chance to attend or submit comments because many are often out of town during the vacation months, he noted.

However, a summer meeting roster was needed in order to meet tight deadlines and ensure next steps in Stage 2 can proceed on time, Brockington said.

File

The city is hosting a series of public input meetings in August to give residents the chance to help ensure light-rail transit stations, as part of the future Stage 2, are best connected to nearby multi-use pathways, bicycle facilities and crosswalks.

The second phase will feature the addition of 36 kilometres of track along the Confederation Line east to Trim Road, west to Bayshore and southwest to Baseline.

The Trillium Line will be extended to South Keys and then on to Leitrim and end at Bowesville near Riverside South.

A rail spur will veer from the main line to stops in the vicinity of the EY Centre and at the Ottawa International Airport.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2018 and wrap in 2023.

The upcoming public meetings will include a presentation, open house with display boards and discussion time. Connectivity design and planning recommendations based on the city’s current plans will be discussed, and “moderated break-out sessions” will be held to get feed-

Fines Drivers can lose 3 demerit points and along with cyclists can be fined $150 to $500 for failing to yield for pedestrians at pedestrian crossings.

Cyclists can be fined $85 for failing to dismount and walk their bicycle when crossing a pedestrian crossover.

Pedestrians can be fine $35 for leaving the curb or other place of safety at a pedestrian crossover and walking, running or moving into the path of a vehicle that is so close that it is impracticable for the driver of the vehicle to stop safely.

More information about PXO’s can be found on my website www.Councillorallanhubley.ca Upcoming Events August 21st: Hazardous Waste Depot, Kanata Research Park, 411 Legget Drive. Depot hours are 8am-4pm.

Residential electronic waste is also accepted at this site.

Police want speed board data, says deputy chief Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa police are developing a process to get their hands on the data that city councillors can current-

ly access from the speed boards that they put up within their wards.

Coun.

Tim Tierney asked at the July 25 Police Services Board meeting at city hall if the data col-

lected by the speed boards could be used to assign traffic officers.

“We have 23 councillors running around putting up speed boards,” Tierney said.

“I want to be able to feed that information into the system.”

Deputy police chief Jill Skinner said she previously wasn’t aware of how much data the city councillors

traffic officers are most needed.

One of main complaints that many city councillors get is due to traffic and speeding within their wards, Tierney said.

nual meeting, as members reviewed the year behind them and set goals for the year ahead.

The members of the executive board – with a combined decades of experience in rescue – were buoyed by the energy and enthusiasm of a new young group of volunteers and grateful for the continued support of long time ferret enthusiasts in planning and staging the event.

Despite the stormy weather on July 9, intrepid ferrets and their adoring owners turned out for a day of family fun including a barbecue, raffles, and ferret games and contest.

Congratulations to the event champions who took home medals for their overall excellence at all things ‘ferret’.

They were: gold medal winner – Toby (owned by Chloe); silver medal winner – Bear (owned by Carolanne); and bronze medal winners (tied) Jake (owned

by Jessica) and Pez, the society’s very own shelter resident.

The board extends its heartfelt thanks to: • Pat and Sabine from Resting Paws Cemetery and Crematorium, not only for their awesome booth at the event but for their willingness to enter into the fun of the day and act as guest judges for one of our contests;

The Ferret Rescue Society of Ottawa and Area became a registered Ontario Not For Profit Corporation in January 2002 and a Federal Registered Charity in January 2007. It is 100 per cent volunteer run and does not receive any government grants, relying solely on donations and money gathered from membership dues, adoptions, product sales and fundraising events.

It is the only animal rescue group in the Ottawa area that aids ferrets in need. Ferrets that

are brought to the Ottawa Humane Society are transferred to its shelter for special care. The society also occasionally taked in un-adoptable ferrets from other SPCAs including Gatineau an Montreal.

Ferrets are rehabilitated and given the medical attention they require. All ferrets healthy enough are adopted out into carefully screened new families.

Unfortunately, some ferrets that arrive at the shelter are no longer compatible in regular family environments.

These ferrets will become long-term residents of the society and will be placed in special foster homes.

The society has a no-kill policy.

The only exception is if it is medically impossible to treat or heal a ferret that is suffering. For more information, visit www.ferretrescue.ca.

Advocates say to government: Hands off our assets Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A small, but dedicated group of advocates made their voices heard outside of the Ontario Works office on Catherine Street on July 29.

The protest, orchestrated

by Association of Community Associations for Reform Now, was an attempt to get the province to increase the employment income before the money is clawed back from Ontario Works and Ontario Dis-

ability Support Program clients.

Blaine Cameron, who is on a disability pension program, says his monthly income is $1,100 a month.

His rent is $725.

“That’s nearly 70 per cent of my income,” he said,

adding that any money he makes after the first $200 to top his monthly allowance will be clawed back by the province.

Advocates want the amount raised to $800 before the province starts to reduce the monthly benefit amount.

Cameron says the change will be an incentive for OW and ODSP clients to work, and be better for the economy, since they will be able to purchase things.

“The province says increasing the employment income before claw back would be a disincentive to work, but that just doesn’t make sense,” he said, adding if clients were able to find work to supplement their income, they may be able to get full time work and transition off assistance.

The group had three demands: • The provincial government should increase the employment income before claw backs for both ODSP and OW recipients, • Increase asset limit thresholds for recipients of both programs, and the government should consider all registered retirement savings plans as exempt assets whether they are locked in or not.

“The assistance keeps people at poverty levels and has an impact on health,” Cameron said.

Luckily Cameron receives help from family members, he said or he would be in a tough situation.

In the meantime the anti-poverty advocacy is preparing a petition they plan to send to Premier Kathleen Wynne. They hope to get 5,000 signatures.

“I wouldn’t be able to eat as healthy as I do now,” he said, adding a lot of ODSP clients have degenerative diseases that aren’t helped by the unhealthy diets they have because of a lack of money to spend on things like fresh produce.

Humane society loses policing powers Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

The Ottawa Humane Society has lost its policing powers and affiliate status with the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and it’s taking the OSPCA to court to get them back.

With 34 animal abuse investigation cases open, 17 charges before the courts and two court-ordered inspections pending, OHS executive director Bruce Roney said the Nepean-based organization’s policing powers were suspended by the OSPCA on July 18.

As a result, its six officers are no longer able to investigate potential incidents of animal abuse and neglect or enforce animal welfare laws, Roney said.

“There’s now a void in animal protection in Ottawa,” Roney said in a press release. “And we’re scrambling to make sure that no animals fall through the cracks.”

According to a notice of motion filed by the OHS on July 26, the trouble began during the OSPCA’s annual general meeting on June 15, 2015, when the OHS raised some concerns it has with the OSPCA’s governance.

Among them were concerns about non-secret ballots during votes among members and about a ban by the OSPCA on employees of the affiliated societies standing for election as directors of the OS-

PCA. In October 2015, Roney and former OHS chair Christian Tacit met with representatives of the OSPCA to discuss their concerns.

After the meeting, Roney said in a sworn affidavit, the OHS invited the OSPCA to continue discussions about those concerns, but that the conversation ended there.

The OHS alleges that on April 15, 2016, it and other affiliated societies under the OSCPA received a letter from the OSPCA explaining that on April 9 it had temporarily suspended all affiliates’ status, enacted a new bylaw without allowing affiliates to review it first, and then reinstated the affiliates’ status.

That new bylaw, Roney said, changes the OSPCA’s board to a “governance-focused” one, taking voting rights from affiliates and placing them exclusively with its own directors.

“Losing voting rights harms the OHS’s ability to advocate at the provincial level for the animals and for our community,” Roney said in a press release. “This is both an important responsibility as well as a legislatively-enshrined right.”

In the months following the news of the OSPCA’s bylaw change, the OHS alleges that it and other affiliates worked with legal counsel to reverse the bylaw change.

The notice of motion filed by the OHS described the OSPCA board’s April 9 suspension of af-

filiates’ status and bylaw change as unlawful, and having been “done in bad faith or for an improper purpose.”

On June 24, the OHS sent a letter to the OSPCA seeking a reversal and a response to its letter by July 13.

On July 18, the OHS received a letter from the OSPCA stating that its affiliate status and policing powers were suspended.

“We’ve been the go-to animal rescue agency for 128 years,” Roney said in a press release. “The actions of the OSPCA take away our ability to save dogs from hot cars and leave our cases against animal abusers in limbo.”

Claims made by the OHS have not yet been proven in court as of publication. The OHS is seeking a temporary injunction against the OSPCA to restore its status and was scheduled to appear in court on July 28, but that proceeding has been adjourned to Aug. 8.

A statement made by Alison Cross, OSPCA’s marketing and communications director would not comment on the claims while “the matter is before the court on a very tight schedule and our formal response is being prepared.”

However, Cross said the OSPCA will continue to provide full service to the Ottawa area.

She urged anyone with concerns about the welfare of an animal to contact the OSPCA.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Several organizations delighted at Ottawa River heritage status John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

After more than a decade of waiting, the Ottawa River has been officially designated as a Canadian Heritage River to the delight of many area politicians, tourism officials, environmentalists and history buffs.

“We’re very happy. It was long overdue … it’s very encouraging,” said Ottawa River Institute president Ole Hendrickson. “It’s great timing with the Canada’s 150th celebration coming up.”

He said the heritage designation will “open the door for more tourism in this area and could help with (grant) funding.”

In a news release, the Ottawa Riverkeeper said she is “thrilled” the announcement that the river will come under Parks Canada’s Canadian Heritage Rivers System.

“No river in Canada reverberates as strongly with the Canadian spirit as the Kitchi Sibi, la rivière des Outaouais, the Ottawa Riv-

The Ottawa River has been officially designated as a Canadian Heritage River. er,” said Riverkeeper Meredith Brown.

“The Ottawa River brings together the people of Ontario, Quebec and First Nations. Granting our shared river Heritage Status is a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate its significant cultural, historical, and natural values. It is

the lifeblood of those who have lived in its watershed for thousands of years, and over time it has shaped our communities and our country.

Hendrickson agreed that the Ottawa River has symbolic significance in that it brings together the country’s three founding peoples

File

– the native Indians, French and English.

The watershed is seen as a “pretty special place” both nationally and globally, he added.

He noted that a large number of people had worked hard for years to bring about the designation.

In its news release, the

Ottawa Riverkeeper acknowledged the leadership of Len Hopkins, Larry Graham, and Algonquin Elder William Commanda, who travelled the watershed collecting stories and uniting people around the Ottawa River.

It has been a decade since these community leaders started rallying people and organizations to nominate the Ottawa as a Heritage River, it notes.

“Though both Hopkins and Commanda have passed away, their spirit lives on in our shared commitment to steward, value, and appreciate the Ottawa River,” said the Riverkeeper.

The Upper Ottawa Valley’s former Liberal MP Len Hopkins chaired a broadbased committee that has argued for the designation since 2003, said Hendrickson.

He said its research was excellent, well documenting the historical and geographical significance of the river.

The Ottawa Riverkeeper organization was a strong supporter and always talked

it up at its gala gatherings, he added.

It had taken the lead on bringing watershed players together, organizing two Ottawa River Summits and is working to create a watershed council and an inclusive model of watershed governance that will improve collaboration and decision-making around river issues.

At the 2015 Ottawa River Summit in Gatineau, the Riverkeeper organization tabled a declaration for river protection, co-created by the Ottawa River Summit Advisory Committee and representing various sectors of society – including municipal governments, First Nations, businesses, provincial and federal agencies, and not-for-profit organizations.

“The Gatineau Declaration summarizes why the river is important and lays out a unified vision of how we can work together to achieve common objectives,” said Brown.

Heritage status only applies to Ontario portion of Ottawa River, for now Continued from page 18

One such objective is to acknowledge and celebrate the cultural, historical and natural values of the Ottawa River watershed.

“We are pleased to be able to report to Summit participants that our provincial and federal governments are taking a great first step by designating the Ottawa River a Heritage River and recognizing its important role in our lives and history,” said the Riverkeeper.

Although the federal and Ontario governments have designated only the Ontario portion of the Ottawa River as a Canadian Heritage River, Quebec is not being left out.

The Ottawa Riverkeeper has been working with Quebec to find an appropriate way for the province to acknowledge the importance of the river and it is anticipated it will be making its own announcement in 2017.

“That our shared river is rich in history and has played a critical role in shaping our cultur-

ally unique communities is something we can all agree on,” Brown said.

She said she hopes this designation “will enhance our collective sense of river pride and inspire people to respect and protect the river that flows through their community and through their veins.”

sources and Forestry Kathryn McGarry and Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, who is also the minister responsible for Parks Canada.

The government news release points out the Ottawa River travels through the heart of Algonquin land

“That our shared river is rich in history

and has played a critical role in shaping our culturally unique communities is something we can all agree on.”

Meredith Brown, Ottawa Riverkeeper

The granting of the heritage designation, rumoured since the Liberal government was elected last year, was proclaimed in a news release July 28.

The joint federal-Ontario announcement designating the Ontario portion of the Ottawa River as a Canadian Heritage River “for its outstanding cultural heritage values” was made by Ontario Minister of Natural Re-

and has been used as a thoroughfare and transportation route for millennia.

Known as the ‘original Trans-Canada highway’, the river was “invaluable to the economic and political growth of the region during the fur and timber eras and continues to be an essential economic engine today.”

Under the leadership of Parks Canada, the Canadian Heritage Rivers System

(CHRS) is a joint federalprovincial-territorial initiative that gives national recognition to Canadian rivers of extraordinary natural, cultural and recreational significance.

It promotes, conserves and enhances Canada’s river heritage, helps to ensure that Canada’s leading rivers are managed in a sustainable manner, and encourages the public to enjoy and appreciate them.

“Our nation’s capital owes its long history and indeed its very existence to this great river,” said McKenna.

“As a vibrant part of Ottawa’s tourism industry today, and the heartland of the Algonquin First Nations, the Ottawa River has a fascinating and diverse history and continues to provide cultural and business opportunities for the communities along its banks. I am thrilled this river is getting the recognition it so rightly deserves.”

“The Province of Ontario is delighted that the Ottawa River has now fully joined the Canadian Heritage Riv-

ers System,” said McGarry.

“This Canadian Heritage River designation will provide the opportunity for communities both large and small, from Hawkesbury to Haileybury to join together with the Algonquin First Nation in celebration of the Ottawa’s rich cultural heritage and its world class recreational activities.”

The designation covers the entire course of the Ontario portion of the river through the Ottawa Valley and the Renfrew County and all the way upriver to Lake Timiskaming and downriver to the Quebec border at East Hawkesbury, a length of 590 kilometres.

If, as expected, Quebec assigns its own heritage designation to its portion of the river, adding the 681 kilometres of the ‘Outaouais’ that flow entirely in Quebec, it will mean all 1,271 kilometres of the river will have heritage status.

There are 42 Canadian Heritage Rivers (39 designated and another three nominated) across Canada.

is put in place that describes voluntary actions to promote, celebrate and conserve the river.

The designation will provide communities with a platform to promote their region and the “incredible history, nature and recreational opportunities” associated with the Ottawa River.

However, not everyone is pleased by the heritage announcement. RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has voiced opposition to the designation in the past, expressing concern that it could result in regulations that stifle development and compromise property rights.

In Renfrew for a meeting July 28, she reserved comment, saying she hadn’t seen details of the announcement.

However, later in the day she told a meeting of the Renfrew County Private Landowners Assocation that she remained worried that the designation would eventually restrict property rights of people living along the river.

Ottawa well represented at Gaelic football world games Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa will be well represented when thunderous cheers erupt in one of the largest stadiums in Europe as teams take to the playing field for the Gaelic Athletic

Association World Games in Ireland in a matter of days.

Of the 15 women playing for Team Canada’s eastern division, 13 are from Ottawa.

On the men’s team, five of the 15 players are from Ottawa.

“I think we’ll hold our

own,” said Cedardale resident Kerry Mortimer.

They’ll be playing Gaelic football against non-Ireland-born competitors from the U.S., Africa and Australia, among other nations, when the week-long Gaelic games festival – which will

see 87 teams from 20 countries play Gaelic football, hurdling and the stick-andball camogie sport – take place at Croke Park in Dub-

lin Aug. 7 to 14. A western division team from Canada will be competing against Irish expats.

There will be a blend of

nerves and excitement to play at such a high level and on such a prestigious field.

Dublin’s Croke Park major draw for Ottawa athletes Continued from page 22

“There’s nothing like it,” said Mortimer, a member of the Ottawa Gaels Gaelic Football Club who has competed internationally.

“It’s one of the biggest stadiums in Europe and we get to march out onto the grounds, which people in Ireland don’t even get a chance to do,” she said. “It’s a goal for everybody. It’s a unique opportunity for us.”

Though they’ll be facing some stiff competition, Mortimer is confident Ottawa will have a strong showing.

That so many Ottawa women made it to Team Canada speaks to the calibre of talent in the nation’s capital and at the Gaels club.

“It’s really a testament to our program over the years,” Mortimer said.

At 46, she is the oldest on Team Canada.

“On the ladies team we cover four decades in age,” she said.

The youngest (by a half hour) is Lisa Wright, of Nepean, who is 24.

FIND THE RIGHT

CANDIDATE TODAY

Like Wright, a number of Team Canada’s Ottawa athletes started with the Gaels youth program.

The hope is that playing on such a world stage will shine attention on the sport here at home, and attract more kids to the sport, enough to one day start a youth league.

a strong sense of community in which life-long friendships are formed.

“It’s a place you want to be,” said Wright. “It’s really unlike a lot of other sports.”

With her eye now on competing at Croke Park for the first time, Wright said it is a dream come true.

It’s one of the biggest stadiums in Europe and we get to march out onto the grounds, which people in Ireland don’t even get a chance to do. It’s a goal for everybody. It’s a unique opportunity for us.

Kerry Mortimer, Team Canada player

For Wright, the sport has become a way of life since she first became hooked on it in middle school.

“It’s hard to even imagine life without Gaelic once you’re in,” she said, adding that not only is Gaelic football fun and addictive and offers a high level of physical fitness, it also comes with

“The three things I’ve always wanted is to play at Croke Park, hold the Sam Maguire and to watch (County) Tyrone play at Croke Park.”

She held the Sam Maguire Cup, which is the Stanley Cup of Gaelic football, a few years ago.

“I never imagined in a

million years I’d be playing at Croke Park, but it was always one of those things you dream about and hope that one day, maybe.”

Like Wright, Jon Lajeunesse fell in love with the sport when he first tried it at St. Paul High School about 11 years ago.

The Team Canada tryouts this spring demonstrated the growing interest in the sport.

“The development in Canada is actually picking up so it’s really interesting to see that many people wanting to participate,” said the west end resident, who will play in Dublin on Canada’s men’s team.

In addition to having high hopes for a youth league here one day, Lajeunesse, 25, also has his fingers crossed that one day Gaelic football will become an Olympic sport.

It’s the only way to top the experience of playing in the upcoming international experience, he said.

“You have to hope that one day it will be in the Olympics and I could make it onto the Olympic team.”

Community gathers for Abdi funeral Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

Spilling out onto the steps and nearby sidewalks, the Ottawa Mosque was filled to capacity on July 29 for the funeral of a man who died after a confrontation with Ottawa police that has made national headlines.

Just outside the mosque, speaking as a member of the community and a member of the Canadian Council for Muslim Women, Farhat Rehman said Abdirahman Abdi’s death has touched a nerve in the community.

“People feel compassion and feel they want to support the family – that something wrong has happened, that they want to reach out and let the family know that they are supporting them and are not alone.”

At the start of the service, there were statements from city councillors, the mayor and local MPPs, a spokesperson from the family and Somali community.

“Ottawa, all of Ottawa is going through a heartbreaking time,” said Ottawa Muslim Association vice-president Ahmed Ibrahim. He noted the community has so many emotions and so many questions and hoped they would be answered through an open and transparent investigation surrounding Abdi’s death.

Abdi, 37, a Somali-Canadian, died following a confrontation with police on July 24. The Special Investigations Unit is now investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.

Police initially responded to multiple 911 calls that Abdi was displaying “assaultive behaviour” at a coffee shop in Hintonburg, according to Police Chief Charles Bordeleau.

Speaking on behalf of the Somali community at the funeral – it’s cost covered by the Ottawa Muslim Association – Mohamed Sofa extended his condolences to Abdi’s family.

“Our brother’s death was a tragic loss to the community and we are grieving with the family,” he said.

He said the initial reaction to Abdi’s death was shock and horror.

“As a community we are left traumatized, left to make sense of the senseless violence.”

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi spent some time with Abdi’s family the day before the funeral and described the experience as heartbreaking.

He called on the community to begin the healing process and bond together.

“This is the moment, this is the time that we demonstrate as a muslin community that we are a people of peace, we are the people of reconciliation, we are a people who come together and work as us, not them,” Naqvi said.

He said he looks BOOK forward to working NOW! with the community and its leaders to build an even stron-

outside 55 Hilda St., and it was during his arrest there – described by witnesses as violent – that he went into medical distress. According to audio recordings provided by Broadcastify, paramedic dispatch describes Abdi as having been pepper sprayed and was bleeding from the mouth. A later dispatch says Abdi was without vital signs when first responders arrived and asked for backup.

Abdi was pronounced dead the next day.

A statement was read on behalf of the family, describing Abdi as having a quiet nature and gentle soul.

“Abdirahman was always looking out for other people before himself,” a family representative said.

“What occurred to him that Sunday wasn’t fair at all and shouldn’t be justified by any means and no human being … deserves to pass away like that.”

The representative said the family has many questions but is trying to be patient as the incident is investigated, in what they hope is an open and trans-

ger community and city “where everybody is loved, where everyone is respected and where a tragedy like the one to our brother Abdirahman never happens ever again.”

Following the service, family and friends participated in a private procession to the burial site.

Speaking to the media, Mayor Jim Watson said he’s confident in the investigative process underway.

“This is a time for grieving and not finger pointing. What we have to do is allow the SIU to take the time necessary to do a full and thorough report,” Watson said.

“I have confidence in the system and I want to let them do their work. I think for politicians and others to second guess the investigation and the research would do an injustice to the process.”

He addressed questions following statements by the city’s police chief that officers are being taunted and recorded in their interactions following Abdi’s death.

“I understand there may be some members in our community that feel less comfortable with the police, but I think, as municipal leaders and civic leaders, we have to do what we can to bring communities together as we’ve done over the decades,” he said.

Rehman admitted to having some of that anxiety, especially knowing that Abdi suffered from a mental illness.

“Beating him until the point where he was bloody and on the ground that puts a little fear in my heart.”

Hundreds also gathered for a vigil on July 26, filling Somerset Square Park and the surrounding streets and a Justice for Abdi march, from Hintonburg to Ottawa Police headquarters on Elgin Street took place on July 30.

The girl with too many books Teen sends sends 4,000 books to Africa

were kids in the world who would never get the chance to experience the joys of education really struck a chord with me.

In the summer of 2014, I decided to do something about it, and so I came up with a plan. I wanted to send books to Africa to help combat illiteracy, and set my goal at 1,000 books.

The destination, Africa, as I found in my research, is a continent home to a large portion of the world’s one billion illiterate people.

since then a lot has changed. I’ve grown confident in my skills as a leader, and I’ve connected with certain issues more than others, some of which I now identify as things I am passionate about changing.

One of these issues is education.

I have always been someone to whom school is enjoyable. I love learning, am an enormous bookworm, and admittedly a bit of a teacher’s pet, so the idea that there

When I was in Grade 7, I was invited to join my school’s ‘Character Crew’ - a group dedicated to fundraising and raising awareness for local and global issues.

I still have that invitation to this day - although only recently have I realized its significance as my introduction to the world of social justice - a world that would soon become a huge part of my life.

That was five years ago, and

Books for Africa will distribute thousands of collected books Continued from page 27

The organization I would be working with, Books for Africa, would reach out to specific communities and distribute what I had collected later, based on individual needs.

I spent the majority of my free time from then on planning out every possible detail - shipping sponsors, advertising, media outreach, community and school involvement, and so much more.

By the time I launched the drive in April of 2015, I had three different schools hosting book collections, I had sponsors to cover the shipping fees of my 1,000book goal, and space for a coffee house featuring local

authors and student musicians.

Within the first few weeks, I had already surpassed my goal.

What I was most impacted by was the enormous amount of support I received throughout the entire process.

Addy Strickland

By the end of the drive in mid-March, I had collected 4,133 books, and raised $1,000 to help combat illiteracy.

I had not only surpassed

my original goal, but had quadrupled it: 4,133 books, all headed towards a cause that I was passionate about.

Those numbers are bigger than any I would ever have predicted, but what I was most impacted by was the enormous amount of support I received throughout the entire process.

People I had never met were calling and emailing to ask how they could help, the kindergarten students at my elementary school walked their books down the corridor to carefully place them in the donation bins, and people from two towns over showed up to the event with trailers full of books they’d collected from their own communities.

Friend of deceased Innes Road inmate wants people to see beyond addiction ‘There was more to her than that’: Donovan Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

April Donovan first met Shannon Sargent on the streets.

Donovan said she was a 17-year-old addict and Sargent took her under her wing.

“She was always very nice to me and we became good friends,” Donovan wrote in an email.

A few days after her former friend was found dead in her cell at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre on Innes Road, Donovan said she wanted people to

remember her friend as a tough girl with a heart of gold.

Ottawa police confirmed on July 20 they were investigating a death at the jail. Sargent, 34, was found dead at 12:30 a.m.

“I hope people who will write about her, will not just not write that she had a drug problem, because there was more to her than that,” Donovan said, adding she remembers watching horror movies and eating junk food with her friend.

“She didn’t like to be alone,” Donovan said. “She loved company.”

The latest stint wasn’t the first time inside a jail cell for Sargent, who had been addicted to crack and opiates for at least 15 years, Donovan estimated.

The two women actually served time together in 2009. It was Donovan’s first time in jail and Sargent took care of her.

“She protected me in jail and on the streets,” Donovan said.

Donovan said she and Sargent were both clients of the Shepherd’s of Good Hope. When asked for a statement about Sargent, Don Ermen, communications manager for the shelter, said he couldn’t confirm she was a client for

While Donovan met her fiancée and got clean four years ago, her friend still struggled.

“I was in rehab in 2010 and she was too,” Donovan said. “We would write each other letters.”

The country’s prison population is filled inmates who have addictions issues like Sargent. A 2010 report to the House of Commons on the federal correctional system from the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security stated that 80 per cent of offenders serving two years or more have problems with drugs or alcohol.

Donovan, now 29, said she hadn’t talked to her friend in a few months.

“She was relapsing and I am clean and sober,” Donovan said. “I don’t think she wanted to talk to me so she wouldn’t influence me.”

But Sargent wanted to get clean for her kids, Donovan said.

“She seemed almost happy in jail because you can’t get drugs,” Donovan said.

“She was tired of the street

and missed her babies.”

Her daughter, Shauna Ava Sargent, 19, posted a message to her mom on Facebook July 21.

“One of the hardest things, regardless of how

“She was smart and kind hearted and she always helped people out.”

close you were or weren’t, is losing a parent,” the post reads.

“I know we went through our (troubles) but I loved her more than she could have ever realized. All I ever wanted was for her to get better and be my mom but things don’t always work out. I love you mom, now and forever, to the moon and back a million times. But at least you’re at

peace now.”

Sargent’s death is the third of an inmate at Innes Road facility in four months.

A provincial task force aimed at dealing with issues of overcrowding at the jail released 42 recommendations in June.

The task force found that inmates are being double and even triple bunked.

A coroner’s death investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of Sargent’s death.

If the cause of death is determined to be anything other than natural causes, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services will proceed with their own inquiry. Media reports have said that Sargent had underlying health conditions.

In the meantime, Donovan said she wants her friend to be remembered for being an amazing woman.

“She was smart and kind hearted and she always helped people out,” Donovan said. “She was loved everywhere.”

Public health urges residents to have their say on safe injection sites Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to have their say on the fate of safe injection sites.

The public survey on the city’s proposed enhancement to harm reduction services, namely safe injection sites for intravenous drug users, will close on Aug. 8.

The board of health voted in favour of the report entitled Enhancing Harm Reduction Services – Data, Guiding Principle and Next Steps on June 20.

The vote was 9 to 2 in favour of the report, which included the public consultation aspect regarding supervised injection site.

Man in critical condition after chainsaw accident Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A 26-year-old-man suffered a life-threatening laceration to his arm after a chainsaw he was using to cut a tree branch kicked back.

The man was working on Sharkey Crescent around 10:30 a.m. on July 28 when the incident happened.

He was seven metres off the ground in a bucket lift at the time of the accident. His co-workers lowered him to the ground, applied pressure to the wound and made a tourniquet from another worker’s t-shirt.

The worker was airlifted from the scene by ORNGE. Later the same day, he was listed an in critical condition in hospital.

The Ontario Ministry of Labour has been notified.

William Lin, a spokesperson from the ministry, said the company can’t be identified to protect the privacy of the worker who was injured. The injured worker is the company’s owner.

Board chair and Stittsville Coun.

Shad Qadri was one of the holdouts on the strategy, saying he wanted to wait on the outcome of the public consultation before giving his verdict on supervised injection sites.

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.

Toronto city council recently gave the green light to such sites in that city after its health board also approved the idea.

The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre is well into planning to add an injection site to its existing needle exchange and methadone clinic. The clinic would be in the building at Rideau and Nelson

streets.

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 survey proposes three models: • A fixed service that is integrated within existing health and harm reduction services — like the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre’s

needle exchange program.

• A standalone service, not within existing health and harm reduction services.

• A mobile service that can move around the city and meet clients where they are.

The survey is open to anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Ottawa. It will close at midnight on Aug. 8.

The survey is online at HaveYourSayOttawa.ca.

A weekly guide in legal matters

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

My ex-wife and I are divorced. We separated 5 years ago, and since then we have shared parenting of our two daughters, who rotate between our homes on a weekly basis. We generally get along on parenting matters. I’ve taken a new job in Toronto, and would like to have the girls relocate there with me.

What is my legal position?

Moving with children is what is known as a “mobility” case in law. If you have a separation agreement, you should first see if there are any provisions about notifying her of your intention to move with the kids.

These cases are difficult, because there is generally no satisfactory compromise position, and court decisions are difficult to predict.

Ultimately, in litigation, the bests interests of the children will be the governing rule. A judge will look into what the needs of the children are, and how each parent is able to satisfy those needs. This is very much a fact driven exercise and will be different in

Supporters raise $88,700 for autism program Kanata-based QuickStart offers programs free to children, families Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Generous supporters and donors raised a whopping $88,700 in one month for QuickStart Early Intervention for Autism.

The Kanata-based federal charity fully funds KickStart, a “life-changing program” for toddlers on the autism spectrum while supporting parents and families.

It is well on its way to reaching its goal of $200,000 for this year, said Suzanne Jacobson, founder and president of QuickStart.

“Last year our charity was able to fund 33 toddlers in our innovative KickStart

program at a cost of $4,000 per child,” she said. “Without our KickStart program these young children would be waiting years for services, missing that critical early intervention window.”

Jacobson’s two grandsons spurred her to create the program in Ottawa.

Her first grandson, Alexander, missed out on a lot of opportunities due to wait times, she said.

He was 20 months old before he was identified on the autism spectrum, 30 months old before he was diagnosed, and Alexander didn’t start in an intensive therapy program until he was fourand-a-half years old.

“He really missed out. He missed out because the doctor wanted to wait and see so it was hard to get someone to listen,” said Jacobson.

“When you miss that window of opportunity you're not getting it back ... we don’t have crystal balls, we don’t know what’s going to happen or the end result – but I know if we don’t (start therapy early) it impacts them quite significantly.”

When her second grandson came along, the process moved much quicker.

Nathan was identified on the autism spectrum at 18 months and diagnosed at 21 months. Within a week, he was in speech therapy.

At two years old, he began the intensive behaviour program based on the Early Start Denver Model, which is what KickStart is modelled after.

“By the time he was four-and-a-half, the age his brother finally got into the intensive behaviour program here, Nathan no longer required therapy,” said Jacobson. “He integrated fully into his local school.

He still has autism, make no mistake — he still has difficulties with social and communication. But wow, he’s just come leaps and bounds.”

KickStart has no wait times for its program thanks to a partnership with

Suzanne Jacobson’s grandsons Alexander, right, and Nathan, were the catalysts for the creation of QuickStart Early Intervention for Autism. The federal charity, which is based in Kanata, offers its programs free and works with toddlers on the autism spectrum and their parents and families.

Emerging Minds. As a federal charity it can operate across Canada. One client who used the service came from Nunavut, and sessions took place over Internet video messaging.

FUNDING

QuickStart was founded in 2008 and its programs are offered at no cost to fami-

lies.

Aside from the KickStart program – which receives about 75 per cent of fundraised dollars – QuickStart also offers two-day respite stays at local hotels for parents at no cost.

Last year, the organization was able to fund 30 stays.

QuickStart receives grant to cover autism diagnostic test Continued from page 33

Six fundraisers were held from May 29 to June 30, bringing the organization closer to its $200,000 goal for 2016.

• The third annual Camelot-QuickStart Charity Golf Tournament for Autism at the Camelot Golf and Country Club in Cumberland raised $64,700.

• The fourth annual Art for Autism, hosted by Dr. Len Chumak of Centrepointe Orthodontics in Nepean, raised $13,000.

• Bertschi Orth Solicitors and Barristers LLP in Gloucester raised $5,000 from the firm’s golf tournament.

• QNX in Kanata hosted a dunk tank where employees paid to try and dunk their leaders. The fundraiser grossed more than $4,700.

• Otto’s Subaru raised $750 during the Westboro Fuse Festival. The dealership also

donates $50 for every car sold when the purchaser selects the autism charity.

• Emerging Minds in Westboro, which partners with QuickStart to offer the KickStart program, gathered $500

children with autism.”

The charity also received a grant from Unity for Autism to cover the diagnostic assessment (about $600 each) for 36 children in the KickStart program this year.

Honestly, we couldn’t do it without the partnerships. They’re committed to helping children with autism.

Dr. Yolanda Korneluk, with Emerging Minds, also donates space for the KickStart program, training for parent coaches, and writes the reports free of charge. She also provides the diagnosis.

“We have incredible citywide support,” said Jacobson.

CARROLL, Gerald – In Loving Memory of Gerald Carroll who passed away August 09, 2013.

Remembrance is a golden chain, Death tries to break but all in vain; To have, to love, and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

The years may wipe out many things, But this‌ they wipe out never, The memory of those happy days, When we were all together.

Forever in our hearts, Love, Betty & Family

Summer weekends were kept busy with visitors

O

n most hot summer weekends, we could expect any number of cousins, aunts and uncles to find their way out to the farm in Northcote. Mother said it was to escape the heat of the city.

We never knew who was coming, but Mother was always prepared.

Extra loaves of bread, sticky buns and pies filled the bake table and the narrow shelf underneath it. No one would go away hungry!

If they came on Saturday and stayed over until Sunday, that meant my three brothers would have to bed down in the tent in the yard, giving up the back bedroom upstairs.

Of course, my cousin Richard, a couple years younger than I was, was thrilled to be able to sleep outside with the older boys in a tent. His mother, my aunt Lily, protective of her

MARY COOK Memories only child, could be heard slipping out the kitchen door a couple times through the night to make sure nothing had happened to her son, which of course, would waken everyone up.

Especially Audrey and me who had been moved to the narrow creton couch in the kitchen.

Of course, as soon as the door was open, our old Collie dog Sport would start to bark, and the whole house would be wide awake.

But no one seemed to

mind, because having a house full of company on a weekend broke the monotony on the farm.

The only problem was that Aunt Vanetta, a devout Catholic, insisted on being driven into Renfrew on Sunday morning for Mass, and I wasn’t sure what good it did, because Uncle Johnny, could be heard swearing a blue streak all the way out to his car, and it was a known fact he refused to darken the door of the church, but sat out Mass in his car, blowing

blue smoke out the window from his ever-present cigar.

And the weekend was like one long party!

There was always lots of music and singing, and Uncle Johnny was always telling jokes that Mother laughed at but said weren’t fit for the ears of young children.

Aunt Vanetta was like a little bird, small and dainty, with a cloud of white hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen.

Her daughter Aunt Lily was tall and stately, and even though she was coming out to a farm, she arrived wearing white gloves and a beautiful hat, and we never saw the same one twice.

I used to dream that she was a relative to the Queen, because of the hats she wore.

And I was sure she was pretty rich too...wasn’t she the telephone operator at the Chateau Laurier hotel?

My cousin Richard was game for anything.

He loved playing in the hay mow, which just happened to be one of my favourite places on the farm too.

We would climb the little ladder in the end of the cow byre and run madly through the hay and then push a pile of it down through the opening in the floor, and jump down the hole, and then do the whole exercise over again. We would be covered with bits and pieces of hay and chaff.

Mealtime was a challenge for Mother. Everyone couldn’t sit at the old pine table, so two planks were brought in and put on the backs of chairs, covered with a heavy quilt and then a couple flour bag sheets, and the overflow ate there.

By the time Mother had the meal ready, the kitchen would be like a blasting furnace, but Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lily said it was cooler than in Ottawa, and dug right in mashing potatoes,

making gravy, or cutting pies.

By late Sunday, the company was ready to go home.

And I often wondered if they were as rich as I thought they were.

Because before the car left the yard, boxes would be tied to the running board, and they would be filled with meat from the smoke house, a couple cleaned chickens, and bags of vegetables from the garden.

Aunt Vanetta always fell into Mother’s arms before she climbed into the car, thanking her and saying something. She’d say “Thank you Mabel...you’ve saved our lives. We’ll sure eat well for a long time to come.”

When children need to be removed from their family home temporarily, while their parents receive the services they need, their daily routines are often subject to many changes. We are lucky to have several volunteer drivers who help provide these children with a sense of stability by transporting them from their foster home to their original school, various appointments or regular visits with their family.

Much more than a taxi, volunteer drivers are a source of consistency in the children’s lives. www.ottawacommunitynews.com

A new twist on a summer dessert An Ontario spin on a traditional tiramisu, ripe Ontario peaches bring a taste of summer to every bite.

Great as a crowd pleaser for a special occasion.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes Chilling Time: 4 to 6 hours or overnight Serves 12 Ingredients

• 1 container (275 g) mascarpone cheese • 6 large peaches • 1/4 cup (50 mL) orange liqueur • 2 cups (500 mL) 35% whipping cream • 2 tbsp (25 mL) icing sugar • 24 large Italian-style ladyfingers Garnish: 1 large peach Preparation instructions

Remove mascarpone from refrigerator to soften,

about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and pit peaches; set aside three. Coarsely chop remaining peaches and purée in food processor or blender until smooth.

Add orange liqueur and pulse until combined. Pour into shallow bowl; set aside.

Gently, pulse remaining peaches in food processor or blender until slightly chunky.

In large chilled bowl, using electric mixer, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Using the same beaters and in separate bowl, beat mascarpone and icing sugar together until soft. Add mascarpone to whipped cream and gently beat until well combined.

Fold in slightly chunky peaches.

Break ladyfingers in half and dip one at a time into the peach liqueur mixture to absorb liquid. Place both halves into the bottom of each one cup (250 mL)

stemmed glass or dessert dish. Spoon about two tbsp (25 mL) of whipped cream mixture into each glass.

Repeat with second layer of ladyfingers, making sure they are well dipped in the peach liqueur mixture. Top each glass equally with the remaining whipped cream mixture.

Cover and refrigerate four to six hours or overnight.

Garnish: Just before serving, dice remaining peach and spoon on top.

Take your voice beyond the shower with ladies chorus The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC) mixes it up, singing selections from the classics, secular, popular, show tunes, jazz and swing.

And they have fun doing it.

Consider taking your voice beyond the shower and joining a group that not only sings but enjoys a vital social atmosphere.

Enthusiasm is the key ingredient needed to become one of the Ladies.

Anyone who is not familiar with WOLC can check them out on Facebook or iTunes. Rehearsals are scheduled to start mid September

and there are a few openings in each vocal range.

Don't read music? Director Robert Dueck prepares each vocal part on MP3s to take away the fear and enable members to learn their parts at home.

WOLC hold rehearsals twice weekly so members can choose which is more convenient or they can attend both.

This young dynamic group, now in its fifth year, has grown from a mere twelve to over thirty voices.

Committed to bringing joy to the community, the WOLC perform at local

senior's residences leading up to a full concert performance.

The spirit of Christmas is celebrated with music and this chorus delivers to an ever-growing audience.

A meet-and-greet at the end of August or early September will give prospective singers a chance to meet the director and some of the chorus members and give them a chance to sample some of the repertoire.

A gentle audition will confirm your voice range.

For more information email westottawaladieschorus@ gmail.com.

Enjoy singing? Consider joining the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus.

Northern youth explore cultures, careers in Ottawa Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Young explorers from some of Canada’s northernmost communities are getting a taste for trades during a six-week stay in Ottawa this summer, with help from Algonquin College.

The 16 participants from Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, ranging in age from 16 to 22 years old, arrived in Ottawa on July 1 as part of the NYA Next program.

The pilot program was designed by non-profit organization Northern Youth Abroad to serve as a next step for participants in its introductory NYA Canadian program.

That program pairs young participants from Northern communities – many of which are geographically isolated – with host families across Canada and assigns summer

volunteer work placements.

Both programs aim to promote cross-cultural learning, career exploration, selfconfidence and community development, with the Next program designed to further develop the skills and aptitudes gained by graduates of the introductory program.

“As part of their participation they are exploring goals and careers a bit further,” said Nick Pelletier, program officer for Northern Youth Abroad.

“So each one is doing a personal learning project, in order to learn about different jobs and careers.”

As part of the collaboration between Algonquin College and Northern Youth Abroad on the NYA Next program, the Ottawa campus’s student residence is serving as home base for the group while they explore a variety of trades at institutions across the city, complete volunteer job placements and

tour the town.

Since moving to the campus on July 7, the group has learned about Canada’s justice system through a tour of the Supreme Court and a mock trial at the University of Ottawa, exchanged cultural knowledge with new Canadians through the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization, and participated in science workshops through Let’s Talk Science. They also spend four hours each day studying carpentry at Algonquin College.

Caitlin Porter, from Gjoa Haven, Nunavut, enrolled in the pilot program after having completed the introductory NYA Canadian program five years ago, and said there are few trades she has learned about through the program that she’s not tempted to study.

“I’m interested in almost every trade we do,” she said.

“Back home we don’t have

these opportunities to do trades and school, so here there’s so many opportunities and it’s good to experience them.”

Porter, 20, said she initially joined the program in order to explore southern regions of Canada and gain some practical skills. She has since discovered, through one of her volunteer experiences within the program, a passion for teaching.

“I love teaching people and teaching them what I know,” she said.

Porter is now planning to study social development at Carleton University. If accepted into the program, she will begin classes in Ottawa in September.

A LESSON ON LIFE SAVING

On July 25, the group learned some of the basic principals of firefighting – including how to use a fire extinguisher, a breathing apparatus and a hose line – before practising a search and rescue simulation.

Sue Jones, a fire prevention

officer who worked with the group that day, said that at the beginning of the session, no one in the group said they were interested in firefighting. By the end, half of the students admitted they had changed their minds.

“We’re really excited to show people what we do and give people that opportunity to see a career that maybe they hadn’t thought about,” Jones said.

“It’s just opening their eyes to different career possibilities, and then further than that, seeing these possibilities can kind of open their minds to see what else is out there.”

For the rest of the afternoon, the group explored the campus police training facilities used by both the college’s police foundations program and the Ottawa police.

With Sgt. Adam Payne, Const. Sharon Priestman and Const. Derek Thompson of the Ottawa police as guides, they toured the centre’s simulation lab, where Payne demonstrated the use of stun guns on a paper target and explained how officers in train-

Rosie

ing use the lab’s model house in training scenarios.

After a lesson on the seriousness – and lack of glamour – of firearms in the centre’s firing range, the group watched as Priestman and Thompson fired rounds from a pistol and a rifle into the range’s targets.

The group finished the tour with a lesson on self-defence in the centre’s defensive tactics studio and a simulation in which several participants were invited to role play as officers facing different types of confrontations.

WHAT’S NEXT

Before moving out of Algonquin College’s student residence on Aug. 8, the group is scheduled to take a trip to Toronto to work with Canadian Roots, a non-profit organization in Toronto that works to strengthen ties between indigenous and nonindigenous youth, and to help build the Northwest Territories section of the Giver 150 Canada-themed playground at Mooney’s Bay Park.

New company offers boat tours of Rideau River Kelly McCarthy

kmccarthy@metroland.com

There’s a new way to see the sights of Ottawa this summer: from the deck of the Brass Toucan, a one-ofa-kind boat captained by a woman and her dog.

Offering intimate boat tours of the Rideau River, the Brass Toucan offers locals, newcomers and tourists alike a chance to see the area from a new perspective.

“It reframes Ottawa for you when you start working with the waterways,” said Jenny Bruce, creator and captain of the Brass Toucan.

“It’s absolutely gorgeous out here.”

Bruce and her first mate – a six-year-old Goldendoodle named Finn – can accommodate small groups of up to four people aboard the Brass Toucan, which was brought to life from the shell of an old sailboat. She offers a variety of tour options, from leisurely day excursions to longer, three- or four-day trips.

Part of the draw of the Brass Toucan is the opportunity to navigate lock stations, Bruce said. Depending on the tour’s destination, groups could experience up to four

lock systems – lending a helping hand and learning the ropes as they go.

As a registered massage therapist currently living in Ottawa’s Centretown, Bruce had put her dreams of spending her days navigating the river system on hold.

Things changed when Bruce spotted an old, weather-worn boat on Kijiji. She considered the purchase for months.

The 24-foot vessel immediately charmed Bruce and her friend Dez Fitzgerald, owner of Dez’s Paint Shop in Greely. It was not riverworthy by any standard, but

Bruce said she saw it as a blank slate.

“This was not a lemon,” she said of the boat, “and so began a long journey of hitting walls and doors on our way to creating the finished Brass Toucan.”

Today, the Brass Toucan – named for a literal brass toucan that was Bruce’s first antique – is a colourful, cozy space complete with handupholstered benches and a wood grain finish courtesy of Dez’s Paint Shop. Bruce said her dream is to cater to the city’s explorers and sight seekers looking for something unique.

The Brass Toucan and Bruce herself are fully licensed to operate commercial tours, starting at the Rideau Canoe Club (804 Hog’s Back Rd.) near the Hog’s Back lock station.

Bruce is willing and able to offer a variety of tour options, depending on the aim of the booking group.

The Brass Toucan can take groups to the Black Rapids lock station or further south to the Long Island lock station near Manotick.

If the group so desires, the Brass Toucan can dock in Manotick for a rest, allowing guests to dine at one of

Business Directory

the area’s many restaurants before heading back into the city.

“Whatever you want, I’m sure I can make it happen,” Bruce said. “I’m here for hire – you ask, and I’ll try to deliver.”

Bruce’s dream, she said, is to cater to couples looking for a romantic outing or new Canadians looking to learn more about the nation’s capital.

The Brass Toucan is open for business while the weather is agreeable, Bruce said, likely until September. Information about the vessel, what it offers and pricing can be found at www.thebrasstoucan.com.

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 It may take a little extra effort to solve a particularly puzzling problem this week, Aries. It’s not an insurmountable obstacle, just one that takes patience.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, all of your efforts thus far in relation to personal challenges have been well worth the sacrifices you have made. Keep doing what you are doing.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you cannot control the actions of others all of the time, but you can change the way you react to certain situations. Take time to develop a response.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you will have to adapt when your schedule gets turned upside down. Let others see how capable you are by modifying the situation as needed.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, an unconventional approach to a problem may see things fall into place. While others are following one path, you’ll be marching to the beat of a different drummer.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s time to get your head out of the clouds for a little bit. Focus on the priorities in your life, which may include family and work responsibilities.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Friends may prove a distraction this week, Libra. It will take a lot of energy to focus on what you need to accomplish rather than getting sucked into other plans.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, adjusting to a changing situation at work will require some patience and trial and error. Keep your head down because you will grow comfortable before you know it.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Drama seems to find you this week, Sagittarius. But you can handle whatever comes your way. Remove yourself from gossip and keep a low profile until things seem to dissipate.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, resist the temptation to dive in when you sense a potential conflict brewing. It may be difficult to stay out of the fray, but you will ultimately be glad you did.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you need to be more assertive at work, especially if you want to receive the acclaim you feel you deserve. Be confident in your abilities.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, it may take some time for things to develop, but plans will start to go your way. This could be a week of big change.

“When we can’t be there for our mother, knowing she is cared for by loving staff whose approach is to encourage not insist, comfort not ignore, and who always honour her dignity, gives our family peace of mind knowing she is happy and safe!”
