Numbers climb for back-to-school help Kanata Food Cupboard helping 200 students with school supplies Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Demand for school supplies from the Kanata Food Cupboard has grown this year and the non-profit organization is seeking dona-

tions before students head back to class. More than 200 students – from kindergarten to post-secondary – are requesting supplies, up from 180 the previous year. And that number can rise as the food cupboard is accepting applications for assistance until next week when the supplies will be delivered, said food cupboard co-ordinator Karen Waters.

DUELING PIANOS THURSDAY NIGHTS

Firefighters free trapped dog Staff

The Ottawa fire department received a call on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 9:56 pm from a very concerned pet owner in Kanata. The family’s dog, Luna, had gotten her paw stuck in the drain of the sink and after numerous attempts they found it impossible to free the paw. The dog owner did not know who else to call for assistance with this unusual pet emergency. Three little girls could be heard in the background obviously upset that their four legged family member was in distress. A call was placed to the closest Fire Station 42, and firefighters made their way to the home on Brady Avenue without any lights or sirens. Luna was quickly rescued without injury.

Supplies still needed Continued from page 1

“Our numbers are not going down,” Waters said. “The demand is higher so far than last year. We’re still getting people coming in.” Volunteers began to pack school bags with supplies on Aug. 22. Donations have been steady, Waters said, but there are certain items the food cupboard is short on. Supplies needed include: • pencils and pencil crayons • markers and page dividers • combination locks • glue sticks and erasers • backpacks and insulated lunch bags “We’re in not too bad shape, which is not a bad place to be in. But we’re still in need,” said Waters. “Forms are still coming in.” About 85 families have requested assistance from the food cupboard so far this year, with a total of 206 students in need of school supplies. Last year those numbers were 81 families, for a total of 182 students.

“I think it’s all around just the cost of living – it’s just crazy,” said Waters on why the demand keeps climbing. “It’s a hell of an extra expense. “I remember when my kids went to school, that was a while ago, and calculating what I

spent for two kids. I was out $500. And if you don’t have that (money), how do you do it?” Students attending high school, college or university were the largest demographic requesting supplies. Of those in need: • 58 are students in high school or post secondary. Of that total, 12 are adults going back to school.

• 22 students are in grades 7 and 8. • 52 students are in grades 4 to 6. • 46 students are in grades 1 to 3. • 28 students are in junior or senior kindergarten. “Our community has been very generous,” said Waters. “We couldn’t do this, all of this, without them. They’re pretty amazing. They always seem to come help us out when we ask for help.”

Pushing for awareness Michelle Nash Baker

On the 20th day of his 22 push-up challenge, Daniel Kucherhan had the support of his whole community behind him.

It might be because he wisely chose to do his pushups during a community party – as children, firefighters and a local politician joined in on the day’s task – and Kucherhan said he felt it helped highlight a very real

subject matter. “It shows the importance of this issue and that our political leaders are willing to be a part of the awareness campaign,” Kucherhan said. See PUSH, page 5

The 22 Push Ups 22 Days challenge is simple – participants do 22 push-ups for 22 days. Each day they share their efforts via a video posted to social media, calling out a new nominee to join in the challenge. Aside from getting physical, each participant is also asked to donate $22 to Wounded Warriors of Canada for the cause. “Getting more people involved is a great way to raise awareness for those who suffer from PTSD and mental ailments,” Kucherhan said. The Kanata resident said the challenge is very near and dear to him as a serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces. “In order to raise awareness for fellow military members, first responders and countless others who suffer from mental illness and/or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) I am doing 22 push-ups for 22 days to bring attention to a very real and important cause.” According to Kucherhan, in the United States alone, on average 22 people a day commit suicide who are suffering in silence as a result of their life and career -elated experiences. There are comparable numbers of people suffering in Canada and around the world, he said. “The idea is to make this cause more public as some are either too proud, too worried or in too much pain to seek help, or do not know where to go to get help,” he said. Kucherhan is not alone in participating in the cause. On Aug. 9 National Arts Centre orchestra musicians Jessica Linnebach and Yosuke Kawasaki performed in Confederation Park while Ottawa’s first responders and members of the

armed forces gathered to perform the 22 push-up challenge. According to Wounded Warriors Canada, between 2004 and March 2014, 160 veterans committed suicide – which the organization said is greater than the total number of Canadian Armed Forces members killed during the war in Afghanistan. “One suicide is one too many. We are proud to be the charitable partner of the 22 Push Ups, 22 Days Challenge and hope this campaign helps drive national awareness, education and fundraising to help us deliver our life-changing programs for those suffering with invisible injuries,” said executive director of Wounded Warriors Canada Scott Maxwell. “Agree to do 22 push-ups for 22 days and show our ill and injured veterans and first responders that they are not alone in this fight.” In Kucherhan’s case, having the support of his community at Arcadia’s Summer FunFest

Licence sticker prices going up again for car owners Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

The cost to renew an Ontario licence plate will go up again this September. The annual cost for a southern Ontario sticker will be $120 as of Sept. 1. A northern Ontario plate will cost $60. According to the Ministry of Transportation, the revenue generated from licence plate sticker fees is directed into general revenues, which support all government investments, including investments in

provincial transportation infrastructure. “These revenues help to ensure that the province has adequate funds to maintain our provincial roads and bridges in good repair for the benefit of all road users,” the ministry said in a written email statement. The cost for a sticker renewal has increased by 62 per cent since 2011 for southern Ontario residents, when it was then only $74. For northern Ontario residents the cost has risen from $41 to $60 – an in-

crease of 46 per cent. It was in March 2012, when the Ontario government announced it would be phasing in fee increases for driver and vehicle licence fees. According to the ministry, Ontario has been increasing these fees in an effort to ensure provincial roads, bridges and highways are safe and in good repair for future generations. Prior to the increase in 2012, licence plate sticker fees had not increased since 1997.

Pediatric therapy clinic opens in Kanata Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A new multidisciplinary pediatric therapy clinic in Kanata mixes fun with treatment and is educating the public about the need for more health coverage for occupational therapy. With a rock climbing wall, swings, massage therapy and yoga, the Pediatric Physio Occupational Therapy clinic, located on Hazeldean Road, has a range of specialists that treat numerous mild to severe issues, injuries and conditions. “Play is therapy and it is fun,” said occupational therapist and co-owner of the clinic Heather Hodgins-Chan. “I love educating parents and caregivers on how to make daily living easier for them. It brings me great joy to see these families happier and well-supported on their journey with their child.” Treatments are not covered by OHIP. For those who don’t have private insurance, or whose benefits don’t cover such therapy, they can come in for a visit to get ideas to use at home, said Samantha Smadella, yoga and rhythmic movement instructor. “We have a lot of people who want to come in and see an occupational therapist but they cant afford it,” she said. “A lot of it is covered under insurance but there is a lack of OT (occupational therapist) insurance unfortunately.” Hodgins-Chan, who lives in Kanata Lakes, said she’s been working to raise awareness about the lack of coverage for occupational therapy.

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Amanda Dresch is one of two occupational therapists at Pediatric Physio and Occupational Therapy in Kanata. The treatment rooms are filled with fun items like a rock wall, swings and a pressure roller, seen here, which is a calming tool that puts pressure on a person’s nerves and helps them focus. “Some families may come in for an assessment and go away with a few ideas to help their child, however they are not able to return for active therapy,” she said. “These are often families of children with severe anxiety, autism, ADHD, developmental co-ordination disorder and Down syndrome.” Petitions created by an occupational therapist in the Toronto area and the Ask For It awareness campaign by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists are working to get the treatment covered by all private insurance plans. The petitions are available to view at http://chn.ge/2bfbjOi and http://bit.ly/2bKagaG. “The public could help bring awareness to the fact that oc-

cupational therapy is often not covered under some insurance plans,” said Hodgins-Chan. “There are so many children, many of whose parents work for the government, for example, who do not have coverage.” OPEN HOUSE

The clinic, located at 471 Hazeldean Rd. in unit 18, opened in January and will host an open house on Sept. 17 from 1 to 5 p.m. People can tour the various treatment rooms and ask questions during the open house. The specialists – which include physio, occupational and massage therapists, as well as a speech language pathologist and yoga instructor – treat

clients with many conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorder, sports injuries, developmental delays, foot conditions, poor muscle tone, trouble focusing, sleep and feeding issues, said Smadella. “A lot of people think you need to have an injury to see a physiotherapist or you need to have a severe condition to see an occupational therapist – they really do anything,” said Smadella, who lives in Village Green. “From just having a hard time putting on a shirt with tags or getting dressed in the morning or establishing routines … you don’t have to have severe conditions to come in.” And even though it has pediatric in its name, the clinic treats people of all ages. “We actually have some adults who do come in,” Smadella said. The adults seen by the clinic often have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety or developmental delays, she said. Hodgins-Chan and co-partner Liane Norman, a physiotherapist, opened the clinic after realizing they could share a space and help more children together while offering access to various therapies. “We are able to treat the child and family holistically,” said Hodgins-Chan. “Therapists are able to work together to provide the highest level of care and support for these children.” For more information, visit pediatrictherapyottawa.com or call 613-831-2377.

Mauril Belanger’s legacy lives on

t wasn’t a surprise. Everyone knew it was coming. And yet, when the news came that long-time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger had died on Aug. 16, it was like a sucker-punch to the gut of this city. For Belanger (1955-2016) seemed to have touched the heart of almost everyone he ever came into contact with. The tributes that have been voiced in the wake of his passing, at the much too young age of 61 after a short battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), speak to that. Yes, there have been tributes from the high and mighty. Tributes have come from the prime minister to the governor general. They have come from political colleagues in the federal Liberal party, and from political foes from the Conservatives and the NDP. They have come from city officials, from the mayor to councillors from across the city, and not just from the east end of the city where Belanger made his political home. All have been sincere, and all have praised Belanger’s tireless efforts over the years as a champion

of all Canadians’ rights, be they Franco-Ontarians such as himself, or his final effort to have our national anthem changed to better reflect the changing times so that it was gender all-inclusive. But for all the high praise from the political world that has been showered upon Belanger since his death, it is likely that the tributes from just ordinary folks in the city are the ones that would have meant the most to him and mean the most to his family. And in Belanger’s case, there is no doubt that those he served as their MP deeply feel the loss that comes with his death. In the end, that is the true test of someone’s impact upon a community, so we will let these words speak for the many: “He was a true gentleman, in both civilian and political life. He took a moment at every event he was at to shake my hand and ask me about my life, my family, no matter how busy he was ... I’m not trying to canonize him, but he was a good man,” said Jeff Kaluski, president of the Beacon Hill Community Association. And that is the ultimate tribute, that he indeed was a good man.

Weather a hot topic of conversation

emember when it was OK to talk about the weather? Some of us still do talk about it, regardless. The heat — like the cold, which we can look forward to as well — is a handy topic of conversation, in case we need one. Sometimes we do, especially when other topics, such as political ones, become too depressing, or when we encounter someone with whom we have nothing in common. And it has been hot, right? Hotter than … when? Well, that’s part of the conversation. The older guys will surely remember a time when it was far hotter than this. People were frying eggs on the sidewalk, the milk truck horses were fainting, the corn was as high as a dachshund’s eye — that kind

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town of thing. And dry? What about the lawn and the petunias? Even artificial turf is parched, they say. The other night people were sitting outside having a dinner party, listening to the splashes from the swimming pool next door, and hoping for a thunder storm. That’s unnatural. There can be a nifty conversation about coping strategies. Drinking hot tea, for example, which some people swear by. Running through the sprinkler. But then someone might scold you for wasting water.

People who have air conditioning will moan about how much it’s costing them in hydro bills. People who don’t have AC will complain about how the people with AC are destroying the environment. All because it’s hot. Old-timers will talk about going to air-conditioned movies to beat the heat. Those with shorter memories will praise the air conditioning on OC Transpo buses. That will lead some people to suggest that with the cost of bus fares it might be cheaper to get air conditioning. You see how much conversation we can get out of a little heat? It’s less confusing to talk about than baseball, not to mention electoral reform. And in the old days it was less controversial than anything, a truly safe topic of conversation.

The problem now is that this is no longer true. The heat is a hot topic. The arrival of climate change as a political issue has caused this. There are those who don’t believe climate change exists, on the one side. And there are those who believe climate change is such an imminent risk that we should no longer fly on airplanes. The sides are not equal: the bulk of opinion, scientific and otherwise, supports the idea that climate change is happening and that it is, to a large extent man-made. But that doesn’t stop people from arguing about it. Sure, there’s climate change, some people say, but there has always been climate change. Look at the Ice Age. Sure, there’s climate change, other people say, but we can’t do anything about it without destroying the economy. Sure, there’s climate change, say the most gloomy of us, but it’s too late to fix it.

The argument rages on, seemingly hotter the warmer the temperature. Some people think we have all sinned, to cause all this heat. Other people resent being called sinners. And there you are, wondering whether to bump up the AC. When the rain comes, as it must, it’s time to shift the complaint to inadequate storm sewers. We’re nothing if not versatile.

Always a child with mom

henever my mom comes to visit, I revert to adolescent habits. I stay up too late, mouth off and generally stuff my face with as much chips and beer as she tells me not to. Recently, she came to stay for two weeks. The first week, we were confined to a tiny mobile home rental on Lake Ontario – me, my mom and three children. Mom’s intentions are good – wake up, get the kids breakfast, let the adolescent (ie: me) sleep in. After a day or two, however, I realized I was rebelling more and more. I couldn’t figure it out. Maybe it was the lectures. Every statement to the children or to me had a “should” attached to it. Like any adult who’s being told what to do, I did the opposite. “You shouldn’t carry your kayak like that; you’ll hurt your back,” said the wise woman. So I hauled my kayak on my forearm all week, just to be spiteful. “If you’re going in the pool, you should shower so you don’t get germs

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse in the water,” said mom. So maybe I didn’t bother showering for two days. “You should put some jewelry on if we’re going shopping in town,” she said. I took my earrings out permanently for the week. The other thing mom does is recount all the old stories from when I was kid. If one of mine is misbehaving, she likens it to something my brother did at that age. If I have a disagreement with my spouse on the phone, I get a story about conflict in marriage and how to avoid divorce. Really, what it comes down to is a battle of control. She wants to be the alpha female, so I over-assert myself to be the master. The kids, sadly, are caught in the middle of our

primitive dance for control. Generally by the end of mom’s stay I’m so tense, I burst. Like any solid teenage girl, I have an emotionfuelled, illogical temper tantrum about the injustice of the world. “I would never have spoken to my mother like that,” mom says. But I continue. Like a good adolescent daughter, I blame my mother for the state of my life affairs, world affairs and the failure of our vacation week, completely discounting all the good. And then I feel bad and cry. When I come up for air, I usually apologize for being such an ingrate, thank mom for letting me sleep in, for encouraging me to go to the spa without kids and generally doing all the awesome grandmother

Law must get serious about pit bulls, dog attacks Re. “‘Those were heroic actions’ says dog attack witness,” Kourier-Standard, Aug. 18. I was under the impression that pit bull “type” dogs are banned in this province? If there is no ban there

should be, and sooner rather than later before someone is torn apart and killed! When owners are caught after one of these incidents they should be charged to the maximum of whatever laws are available to

police officers. When these vicious incidents occur pit bull and similar breed owners should be charged with attempted murder as these attacks are as bad as someone shooting a gun and either severely in-

Although I never have faced a pit bull, these loose dogs create an uneasy situation for me as well as others out walking their mostly peaceful dogs.

Children’s charity reaches out to community for help Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Demand for school supplies through the Caring and Sharing Exchange has skyrocketed as the new school year approaches, leaving organizers wondering how they’re going to fill the need. The charity, with provides backpacks filled with school supplies for children in need through the Sharing in Student Success (SISS) program has seen a 33 per cent increase in registration compared to a year ago. Executive director Cindy Smith said the charity only has the capacity to meet the needs of 1,250 children – leaving 850 on a waiting list. Last year there were 1,582

children registered for the program, but this year that number has spiked to 2,100. The charity has been connecting with some of its corporate sponsors and has initiated a direct mailing campaign to try and meet the demand – and make sure no student is left behind. A year ago the exchange issued a public plea for help, with almost 500 on the waiting as the school year approached, Smith estimated. Despite that, the community came together and paired each child with a backpack, she said. The exchange offers a coordination service, meaning all agencies doing work in the community won’t duplicate resources – helping to guarantee that more people who need it will receive help. “By collaborating with other agencies in the city, we detect hundreds of duplicate applications annually, which allows us to redistribute the funds to the next family on the list, while saving the

community money,” Smith said. Smith said at least some of the increase in demand this year can be attributed to the influx of Syrian refugees since January – many of whom have children that will be starting school this fall. The Somali Centre for Family Services requests backpacks from the SISS program for clients, and the centre has seen a massive hike in requests that it feels has been caused by the influx of Syrian refugees, according to Smith. The Somali centre requested assistance for 63 children a year ago. This year, the number is nearly five times that, reaching 300 children. “We had anticipated the possibility of a jump in our requests this year due to the Syrian refugee crises,” Smith said. “With the community’s help, we hope to once again provide every child in need with the support they need

to return to school on equal footing with their peers, ready to learn.” Smith said the charity prefers cash donations to www.CaringandSharing. ca because it can buy items

on the Caring and Sharing Exchange’s website. Volunteers will meet at the Westgate Shopping Centre on Aug. 23 to prepare backpacks for the start of the school year, Smith said.

Sens Hometown Tour coming to Kanata hardware store Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The National Hockey League is coming to Kanata next week. The Ottawa Senators have hit the road for the third year in a row with its popular Hometown Tour series. Senator representatives, including two of the team’s players, will be stopping by the Canadian Tire store in Kanata on Wednesday, Aug. 31, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. with interactive games, promotions, autograph sessions and prizes, including tickets to Senators home games. It’s part of a tour that is making its way through eastern Ontario and western Quebec from Aug. 22 to 31

Last year’s Hometown Tour was a chance for local youth to meet Ottawa Senators players. featuring the players. The autograph sessions with two Senators players, to

be announced shortly, will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Kanata stop.

The Senators continue to institute a wristband policy for the autograph

sessions at each tour stop. Only people with wristbands can receive autographs. Wristbands will be limited and made available on a first-come, first-served basis at the local Canadian Tire store’s customer service desk on the day of the tour stop beginning at 8 a.m. The Senators are also adding a new wrinkle to this year’s tour, with a contest to find six ‘Hometown Heroes’, citizens who have made great contributions to their local community. Fans can go to ottawasenators.com/hometownhero and nominate a worthy local citizen. Six winners will meet the players on tour, earn a pair of tickets to a Senators pre-season game

where their nomination will receive in-game recognition at Canadian Tire Centre. After stops in Pembroke and Arnprior Monday, Aug. 29, the tour wraps up at Canadian Tire stores in Morrisburg and Brockville Tuesday, Aug. 30 and Smiths Falls and Kanata on Wednesday, Aug. 31. The earlier stops included Leitrim and Ottawa (Carlington) on Aug. 22, Buckingham and Alymer on Aug. 23, and Hawkesbury and Rockland on Aug. 24.

home the gold. It was pure jubilation for the 27-year-old as she won. She ran to the crowd, and picked up her coach on her shoulders before running back out on the mat with the

Wiebe had her gold medal from the Rio Olympics around her neck as she arrived at the Ottawa International Airport on Aug. 23, greeted by a crowd of about 100 including family, friends, fellow wrestlers, supporters, youngsters and local politicians, namely city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Kanata North ward councillor Marianne Wilkinson. And as she appeared at the top of the airport escalator and waved, cheers went up and continued as she descended on the escalator, preceded by a bagpiper. For those who were not at

Forever a Senator: Alfie’s number being retired Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

History will be made on Dec. 29 when the Ottawa Senators retire a jersey for the first time in the team’s modern run. Daniel Alfredsson’s No. 11 will be raised to the rafters at the Canadian Tire Centre during an NHL game against the Detroit Red Wings, the team he played his final hockey season with. He signed a one-day contract with the Senators on Dec. 4, 2014, in order to formally retire as a Senator. “I think you get a little bit of a different perspective after you retire,” Alfredsson said at an Aug. 16 press conference at the Canadian Tire Centre. “It’s honouring, extremely flattering, and it brings back a lot of memories.” The former Senators’ player, who is now a member of the team’s front office, has some impressive statistics. He played from 1995 to 2013 with the Senators, wearing the captain’s ‘C’ for many of them and is the franchise leader in

points and goals. “As a captain of the team for 13 years, he is our franchise’s longest serving captain,” said club owner Eugene Melnyk. “Daniel is also a three-time winner of major NHL awards, an all-star for the NHL, and an Olympic champion … and some of Daniel’s greatest moments with our team have happened off the ice.” Alfredsson said the game against the Detroit Red Wings

Daniel Alfredsson speaks at the Canadian Tire Centre on Aug. 16. The former Ottawa Senators player will have his number, 11, retired by the hockey organization.

Alfredsson is well known in Ottawa for his charity work and community involvement with organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health and CHEO. In 2015, he was awarded a key to the City of Ottawa. Frank Finnigan who played from 1923-37 previously had his #8 retired.

that stood out the most about Alfredsson, affectionately called “Alfie” by fans, was how long he would stay on the ice. He would regularly stay 30 to 40 minutes after a formal training session ended. “He was developing a work ethic for many of the young and veteran players, staying that extra time after the coach disappeared off the ice,” Murray said.

During the six-week Advanced Aerospace Course, Felipe said he increased his passion for space science, space travel and astronomy. It is a unique experience for cadets to participate in this national course, with only 60 cadets selected from

across the country. He participated in several exciting activities, such as rocket launches at an airport, visiting the Cosmodôme and Canadian Space Agency, a robots competition and simulations of a space mission while scuba diving. During the six-week Glider Pilot Scholarship, cadets Gilchrist and Zhang learned how to pilot a glider with the help of qualified flight instructors. Their training included theoretical lessons on the ground, which culminated in a final exam from Transport Canada. By the time of their graduation, they had completed around fifty evaluated glider flights. They were part of 69 cadets chosen from a pool of over a hundred recommended applicants this summer. Finally, after seven weeks of ground school lessons, followed by 45 hours of flight and a theoretical exam from Transport Canada, cadets Bergsma and Mihan completed their Power Pilot Scholar-

Site plan proposed for new treatment centre John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

The City of Ottawa is seeking public input on a site plan proposal for a property in the west end to allow the construction of a 30-bed residential care facility for youth with addiction issues. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is in the process of acquiring 25 acres

at 1883 Bradley Side Rd. near Richardson Side Road to bolster its property in the area where it already has a smaller treatment facility. The city has started the site plan process and is targeting Sept. 20 for a decision. The plan calls for a onestorey building on a severed part of the property. The severed parcel will have 200.7 metres of frontage on Oak Creek

Road and 383.86 metres of frontage on Bradley Side Road, where the access will be located. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is a not-forprofit organization dedicated to the residential treatment of youth who have substance abuse troubles and related behavioural and mental health issues. The current facilities do not

meet provincial guidelines for residential treatment centres. The new treatment centre will accommodate 15 girls and 15 boys in separate wings and will house the organization’s administration. The city notes the goal is to build a facility that has a home-like environment in a serene rural setting. A public meeting will likely be held later in the process.

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

Yes. It is risky to settle financial issues with respect to a property damage dispute on an informal basis. The first issue is your insurance protection. If you think you may have to make an insurance claim, then you risk voiding your insurance coverage by taking any steps to settle without the express consent of your insurer. Secondly, without proper documentation to evidence your agreement, there is a risk that your payment will not be viewed as a final settlement, particularly if there is more damage than the payment would cover, giving rise to a finding of improvident settlement. If in doubt, you should always report a potential claim to your insurer. Absent insurance, you may want to consider hiring a lawyer to draft a release. At the very least, you should evidence a settlement agreement in writing. Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm. Collaborative in approach and focused on solutions, our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff are committed to client satisfaction. We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.

I was at a party out in cottage country and I collided with a parked car while leaving. There was some damage. I thought it looked pretty serious, but the owner said if I paid $500 cash, it would be no problem. Is there any down side to this?

Volunteers Invigorate THE RIDE By: Shelley McLean

A volunteer: Someone who contributes time, effort and talent to meet a need or further a mission, without getting paid. Our mission atTHE RIDE is to revolutionize cancer research atThe Ottawa Hospital and on September 11, hundreds of volunteers will not only ensure all of our cyclists have what they need but they will provide enthusiasm. The OHRI (Ottawa Hospital Research Institute) Pit Crew is supportingTHE RIDE once again this year. Sheila De Marinis spearheads this volunteer group, which has been withTHE RIDE since the very beginning. De Marinis says it’s become her team’s trademark over the past six years. “It gives us the opportunity to connect with the riders if they simply ride by or if they should decide to stop. We have assisted many riders over the years with not only handing out drinks and food, but solving small problems.” For De Marinis and the OHRI team, volunteering is invigorating. ”We have received comments over the years, that simply seeing a familiar face at a pit stop has given riders the strength to carry on and finishTHE RIDE. Even though they’re focused on cycling, all riders who stop take the time to thank us for doing what we are doing. Even many of the riders who choose to ride on by, lift an arm and give us a big wave.” De Marinis says volunteering is a gratifying experience, “Even though you are on the sidelines, you are very much part of the team andTHE RIDE.” Make a difference in the fight against cancer by volunteering forTHE RIDE on September 11.

Grey wave heralds more seniors programs Whether you call it the Seniors Tsunami, the Grey Wave or the Seniors Surge, there is no doubt that the number of older adults is on a significant rise. Seniors in Canada are a rapidly growing segment of the population and are living longer and healthier lives than previous generations. In 2014, over six million Canadians were aged 65 or older. The accompanying chart shows the significant growth expected over the coming years. Based on the 2011 Census, there were 116,615 seniors in Ottawa aged 65 and over, representing 13.2 per cent of the population. A city study estimates that the number of seniors will more than double in the next 15 years, reaching

253,950 by 2031. This means that more than one in five Ottawa residents will be over 65 years old by 2031. Outside the Greenbelt in western Ottawa, the number of seniors in each ward in 2011 breaks down as follows: • Kanata-South: 4,350 • Kanata North: 3,790 • Stittsville: 2,975 • West Carleton: 2,545. Again we can expect a substantial increase on their numbers over the coming years. Five years ago the City of Ottawa was proactive in anticipating the growing needs of seniors and produced its Older Adult Action Plan containing 74 concrete actions to address the needs of Ottawa’s older residents. The plan was organized under eight age-friendly

KANATA SENIORS COUNCIL

Seniors council has seniors mandate The Kanata Seniors Council Inc. is a non-profit incorporated body, which was responsible for raising the seed money for the Kanata Seniors’ Centre, and now conducts programs, raises funds and provides a formal advisory function to the city. It has been in existence since 2000. While its actual membership numbers over 500 seniors, the council also represents all seniors belonging to the Kanata Seniors Centre. In addition, it speaks on behalf of all seniors in the wider geographic area and coordinates and works with likeminded agencies in support of seniors. The council outfitted the kitchen at the centre and operates the Council Café. Additionally, the council sponsors computer instruction, runs a travel program, conducts outreach and sponsors a variety of activities at the seniors centre. It also provides funding for amenities and programs for the seniors centre.

Jack and Ben, age 10

Membership is free. Seniors are encouraged to become members and actively participate in its operation and fund raising. The council’s mandate is: • To promote and conduct educational, recreational and cultural programs for seniors and older adults. • To advise and assist in the operation and programming at the Kanata Seniors’ Centre. • To provide for capital items which will enhance the utility of the Kanata Seniors’ Centre. • To work with like-minded agencies to promote the welfare of seniors and older adults. • To speak on behalf of seniors and older adults in Kanata and greater western Ottawa. • To raise funds for the purpose of enhancing the health and well-being of seniors and older adults in Kanata and greater western Ottawa. As such the Seniors Council is the thread that ties seniors activities and issues to-

gether. In addition it operates a number of specific programs. The computer training program is one and it is further explained elsewhere in this issue. The Council Café offers nutritious low cost meals at the Seniors Centre. It is volunteer run, has a varied menu and is the focus for socialization. A travel program again run by volunteers offers very reasonable day trips to venues, events and concerts in the local area. More recently a lunch out program to local restaurants has been added. Each spring there is a Retirement Living Fair to allow seniors to meet a number of vendors representing a variety of seniors services such as home care, seniors residences, travel agencies, contractors and the like. Also in the spring is the annual Far West Fun Fest, a two-week full program of activities partnered with retirement residences.

Far West Fun Fest is our ‘seniors games’

SUBMITTED

Lo Impact exercise is just one of the fitness programs available to seniors at the Seniors’ Centre.

The highlight of seniors activities each year is the Far West Fun Fest. Held every spring for two weeks and sponsored by the Seniors Council this activity has something for everyone and is the closest thing we have to an annual “seniors games.” Started in 2011, the Far West Fun Fest has expanded every year in partnership with local

seniors residences, the Legion, and city facilities and parks. Activities include bingo, square dancing, a cookery demonstration, euchre and cribbage tournaments, darts, mini putt and a fish and chips evening at the Legion. This year there was also a bus tour of the tulips, a visit to explore the heritage at Pinhey’s

Point, card making, a lunch with Elvis in Arnprior, and some Latin chair dancing. The whole program kicks off with an opening breakfast and closes with a luncheon and guest speaker. The Fun Fest is open to all seniors in the area and is a great way to have fun and make new friends.

KANATA SENIORS COUNCIL

The seniors centre has something for everyone The Kanata Seniors Centre is the focus for seniors activities in Kanata and western Ottawa. The centre is one of four City of Ottawa seniors centres and is a legacy of the former city of Kanata. It is located off Campeau Drive behind the John G. Mlacak Recreation Complex and the new Beaverbrook library branch. The centre includes: a lounge with fireplace, program and meeting rooms, computers, the Council Café, multi-purpose halls and a games room. The Kanata Seniors’ Centre offers a wide range of recreation programs for adults aged 50 and over. An annual membership fee of $24.50 per year includes participation in an extensive selection of recreational, educational and healthy lifestyle programs. DROP-IN PROGRAMS

instructors. As such there is an additional charge for these programs. Chief among these programs are ones which encourages seniors to maintain a level of fitness and mobility. The programs range from light programs such as chair exercise and tai chi to yoga and the more active zumba, lo-impact 50+ and Party On. There are also three levels of line dancing and also a Nordic walking program. On the more cerebral side there are creative writing for enjoyment classes and a new program called memory fitness. It should be noted that a number of programs are also offered in the evening for our younger, perhaps still working, seniors. These include the full range of fitness programs from yoga to zumba. In addition there are Spanish lessons and guitar as well as a new program painting with acrylics.

The drop-in programs cover a wide range of interest groups and are offered at no additional charge. While the term drop-in implies ad-hock programming that is definitely not the case. Each activity has a scheduled slot, a volunteer convenor and a very active group of participants. Bridge is one of the most popular programs. Sessions are provided for regular playing as well as another for duplicate. A further session is an instructional one for those willing to learn. Other board and card activities include Scrabble, euchre, mah jong, cribbage, canasta and

more. There are also seasonal celebrations with activities for events such as Halloween and Canada Day. For those looking for something more active there is carpet bowling and even a snooker room. Throughout the season a variety of educational and healthy life style lectures are offered. There is also a weekly well attended discussion group and there are two investment clubs and a large camera club. These are rounded out with a speaker series and an advanced learning program. For those who further want to develop their talents we have a choral group and a very active group of craft ladies who knit and sell their creations to assist seniors programs and charities. For those who just want to sit and observe we have movie afternoons as well as the opportunity to just sit and listen to the Geriatric Jazz Band. Registered programs are led by professional and highly qualified

Be safe around schools, bus stops, OPP urge Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The wheels on the bus go round and round! Yes, it is almost time for school buses to hit the road and everyone should be prepared for the extra traffic. OPP Community Safety Constable Beth Ethier says motorists

should be aware of the expected increase in pedestrians, cyclists and school buses, and give themselves extra commuting time. “We want to remind the public to be on the look out for students and school buses as of Sept. 6,” said Ethier. “They will be back on the road so people should adjust their schedules because the buses will

be stopping and starting so they should give themselves time.” Motorists encountering a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing shall stop before reaching the bus and shall not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signallights have stopped flashing. “I want to remind them to stop when the overhead red signal lights

are flashing,” said Ethier. Under Section 175(11) of the Highway Traffic Act, the minimum fine for failing to stop is $400. This applies whether you are meeting or following a school bus, and includes multi-lane roads. (The only exception is to traffic when driving on a road with a median traffic coming from the opposite direction is not required

to stop.) It is also important to be aware of the extra pedestrian traffic as students make their way to school “Children may be excited for back to school so drivers should be extra cautious, especially in school zones,” said Ethier. “Pay attention and be prepared to stop to make sure everyone gets safely to school.”

While most Ottawa area students are going back to school Tuesday, Sept. 6, students with the French Catholic board return earlier. The Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE) has been working hard since mid-August to prepare for the first day of school on Tuesday, Aug. 30, but students at one of the board’s schools went back in class Aug. 17, and another opened its doors for the new school year on Aug. 23. École élémentaire catholique Bernard-Grandmaître follows a balanced calendar, so the 600 students there began their school year on Aug. 17, two weeks before most other schools. The school community at École élémentaire catholique Bernard-Grandmaître has been operating with a balanced calendar for the past 10 years. Students get six weeks of summer vacation instead of the usual nine, plus a week of vacation in October, March and May. “Those who have tried the balanced calendar really like it, but it is not imposed on families,” explained CECCE chair Johanne Lacombe. “Parents in the catchment area can choose to send their children to either of two CECCE elementary schools: Bernard-Grandmaître, which

has a balanced calendar, or Sainte-Bernadette, which has a regular school year. “Every year, more and more students register at École élémentaire catholique BernardGrandmaître, which is an indication of how much people like this model,” she added. MAY BREAK

Grade 9 to 12 students at the Centre professionnel et technique Minto began their school year Aug. 23. Because they are starting a week before other students, they will get a week off in May. The Centre professionnel et technique Minto is a high school that offers a trades concentration exclusively. “The Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est is proud to offer alternatives and specialized programs that meet the needs of families and students,” said CECCE director of education Réjean Sirois. “We are well-equipped to foster every student’s success and well-being.” The CECCE, which has more than 22,000 students attending its 42 elementary schools and 12 high schools, as well as its school for adults, is the largest Canadian network of French-language schools outside Quebec.

BACK TO CLASS Back to basics: Re-educate yourself on how to keep a healthy mouth

More than two million students across the province are preparing to head back to school soon, but everyone in the family can use a refresher course on how best to care for their mouths. The Ontario Dental Association (ODA) wants you to remember the ‘old school’ basics of oral health care, which includes brushing twice daily and not eating too much sugar. HEALTHY SMILE

Here are the ABCs and Ds to follow for a healthy smile, and a healthy mouth. Awareness: Stress, medications, smoking, overconsumption of alcohol and sugar, as well as acidity levels in juice, soda and sports drinks, can negatively impact your oral health. They may also increase your risk of developing gum disease, tooth decay and oral cancer. Brushing: Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening not only gives you a fresh, sparkling smile, it’s also a critical component in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Cleaning: Other areas of your mouth need attention that brushing alone can’t provide. Flossing removes particles of food from in

between teeth and using mouthwash can reduce plaque, cavities and gingivitis. Dentist: Getting a regular dental exam is key to maintaining optimal oral health. Your dentist is trained to detect and diagnose problems before you see or feel them, which is also when they are much easier and less expensive to treat. “As we return to our usual routines, backto-school time is also a perfect opportunity to reassess the oral health-care routine of the whole family to make sure everyone maintains a healthy smile,” said ODA president Dr. Jack McLister. The ODA has been the voluntary professional association for dentists in Ontario since 1867. It represents more than 9,000, or nine in 10, dentists across the province. The ODA is Ontario’s primary source of information on oral health and the dental profession. It advocates for accessible and sustainable optimal oral health for all Ontarians by working with health-care professionals, governments, the private sector and the public.

Video games: a little, a lot or too much? Yesterday’s moms and dads had trouble with their children (today’s parents) be cause they spent too much time watching television. Now the problem facing par ents is the excessive use of video games, especially by boys. What to do? The research on the benefits and evils of video games abounds. However, experts all seem to agree on the importance of limit ing “gaming” time, especially dur ing the school year. The pros and cons

Video games have become a so cial tool and major source of en tertainment for young people; this includes online gam bling. Ban ning gaming completely is not re commended. Research has shown that gam ing can improve eyesight, handeye coordination, pro blem solv ing, and creativity. Depending on the game, young people can increase their vocabu

lary and knowledge in a given field. On the other hand, video games are a passive activity in a world where young people are already too sedentary and prone to obe sity. The stimulation of video games can be addictive and, because of their intensity, make any other ac tivity seem boring. Connecting

Playing video games in small doses should not be a source of conflict between parents and young people. It can even be a tool for connec tion. If the terms are negotiated, es pecially around content and time, then gaming can be an enjoy able and beneficial activity. It helps if parents acknowledge the skills their children acquire by gaming and if they take an in terest in the games that fascinate their young loved ones. Playing video games in small doses can be a way for parents and children to connect.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION The joy of reading is a gift Five steps for a positive to children before school back-to-school transition (NC) We are approaching the time of year when families jump out of holidays and start their back to school routine. Here are a few tips to help make the back to school transition easier: 1. A great day starts with a good night’s sleep. Staying up late in the summer is a habit that a lot of kids and parents get into. A few weeks before school starts up, make sure that a regular nighttime routine is followed. Put the kids to bed earlier and wake them up at the time they would have to get up for school. This will help them ease into the earlier mornings once classes begin. 2. Get yourself up and ready first. Parents also need to get into the swing of things when kids go back to school. Get up slightly earlier than normal to make sure you have time for yourself and your kids. Making breakfast and lunch, packing book bags and getting outfits ready takes some extra time, and you don’t want to throw off your own morning routine. 3. Continue exercising. Just because it’s the fall doesn’t mean

keeping fit should slow down. Studies show that kids who exercise every day perform better in school. Encourage your kids to stay active by walking them to the bus stop or letting them ride their bikes or walk to school. If those sneakers are showing wear from all that summer fun, pick up a new pair for travelling to school and for gym class. A wide variety of styles and sizes are available across the country at Sport Chek. 4. Schedule appointments. Plan ahead and book any necessary appointments and checkups before school starts, including teeth cleaning, vaccinations and haircuts. Getting these out of the way now means your child won’t have to miss school later. 5. Re-establish routines that may have been forgotten. Get back into building a routine with your kids, including early dinners, book bag packing and a bedtime story. Ensure your child’s backpack can hold all their supplies and fits them properly, particularly if they have grown over the summer. Stores like Sport Chek carries backpacks in a variety of shapes.

Back to class fall registration Back-to-school meals made easy With summer winding down, it’s time to think about routines and making family-friendly meals for easy lunches and dinners. Here are some tips to make the food transition from summer fun to fall classes a breeze. Plan and shop ahead

Megan DeLaire/Metroland

Tools 4 school Boston Bruins centreman Ryan Spooner spent the afternoon of Aug. 18 signing autographs with Ottawa Senators defenseman Cody Ceci as part of the Tools 4 School Fundraising Barbecue hosted at 1547 Merivale Rd. by the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre in order to collect donations of cash and school supplies for its Tools 4 School program.

Developing a weekly menu can save a lot of time in meal prep and reduces waste. Do your meal planning and grocery shopping on Sundays for the week ahead so you always have something on hand. You can use many of the same ingredients for different dishes, just choose different spices and seasoning to change up the taste. Chop

your vegetables in bulk in advance to save time, as chopped vegetables like carrots, onions, and peppers will last a week when refrigerated properly and stored in an air-tight container. Cook more

Cook larger quantities of versatile proteins and sides that can be easily transformed into different dishes throughout the week. Large quantities of rice or quinoa hold up well in the fridge and provide a great base for many dishes. Doubling up a recipe will ensure enough for dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day.

Cook efficiently

Replace the old and worn-out oven with the latest in cooking technology that’ll let you cook quickly and evenly, like the new ProBake Convection line of ranges from LG. Flexible stove-top element sizes allow multiple pots and pans to cook simultaneously. For faster, more even results, the heating element has been moved from the bottom of the oven to the back. Large capacity and double ovens also let you cook multiple items at once. Find more information online at lg.com. -News Canada

Cash renewal to continue freeing up paramedics, benefit patients Ottawa hospitals receiving $1.5M for ER nursing hours Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An ambulance rolls up to a hospital’s emergency department and paramedics quickly bustle their sick or injured patient inside. Up until about five years ago, a patient in stable condition with a less severe health condition likely had to wait for hours to be seen by a doctor, depending on how swamped the ER was. That delay meant paramedics were also forced to wait, sitting on the sidelines unable to respond to 911 calls, until their patient was finally moved into the department’s clinical area for treatment. A new round of muchneeded dollars for 49 hospitals in 20 Ontario municipalities, including Ottawa, will ensure wait times don’t climb beyond about a half hour. The province is providing more than $16 million to cover the cost of 300,000 nursing hours at sites across Ontario. Of that, a total of $1.5 million will go to the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic and General campuses and the Montfort and QueenswayCarleton hospitals. “Our emergency department sees a growth of between two and five per cent of volume in visits every year, and that really puts a strain on the system,” Renate Ilse, vice-president of clinical programs at the Ottawa Hospital, said during an announcement at the General campus on Aug. 19. “And it can actually plug up the emergency departments so that when the ambulances come in it’s very difficult to offload the non-priority patients in a timely way. “So programs like this and this funding really, really helps us.” This year’s renewed funding will cover the cost of almost 11,000 nursing hours at the Civic and General emergency departments. That works out to about 15 hours a day at each campus,

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Dr. Guy Hébert, an emergency room doctor who also oversees the emergency departments at the General and Civic campuses of the Ottawa Hospital, says provincial funding for emergency room nurses who monitor less urgent patients after they are brought in by ambulance frees up paramedics and ensures care is received more quickly. seven days a week. At the Montfort and Queensway-Carleton hospitals, that translates to about 11 hours a day each. The program has made a difference in reducing ambulance offload times since its inception in 2008-09. Before that, 90 per cent of patients were waiting for ER care an average of more than two hours. “With the application of this program that time has been brought down to between 30 and 40 minutes,” said Dr. Guy Hébert, an emergency room doctor who oversees both the General and Civic emergency departments. “In other words, we’re very successful in getting (patients) off the ambulance stretcher into a clinical care

bed and that permits the ambulances to go back out there at the ready for the community,” he said. “It saves an immense amount of time and it accelerates the start of care for the patient.” Of the ambulance offload

Still, an average of 60 ambulances arrive every day at each Ottawa Hospital campus. “I’m sure a good 40 to 45 of those would qualify to benefit from the offload (nursing service),” Hébert

said. “And we want that to continue,” said Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, who also serves as parliamentary as-

sistant to Ontario’s minister of Health and Long-Term Care. “The standard is about 30 minutes and once it goes over that it begins to affect the effectiveness of our emergency services,” he said. “So we want to make sure that doesn’t happen. “I do want to stress that those patients that arrive at hospital with life-threatening conditions will be given that high priority,” he said, flanked at the announcement by OttawaOrléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi. Patient volumes soared after the Montfort Hospital opened its new ER in 2010. It saw a jump by 20,000 patients, bringing the annual total to 55,000 or 150 to 160

patients a day. “We did see quite a significant improvement with that program so it needs to be sustained,” said Dr. Bernard Leduc, president and chief executive of the Montfort Hospital. Fraser acknowledged the growing demand for emergency medicine and the desire for more money, not just renewed dollars. “The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is working with the paramedic services and the hospitals on a plan going forward for 2017-2018,” he said. “We’re continuing to be committed to this program and we’re going to improve it.” An interview with Ottawa paramedic officials was not possible before press time.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Mauril Bélanger On August 16th, we lost a hero and inspirational Canadian politician. Mauril Bélanger was a mentor and friend who worked tirelessly for his constituents. The Prime Minister, along with other Members of Parliament including myself, had the opportunity to sign a book of condolences on August 17th. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends, family, and wife Catherine. CENGN Hackathon I was pleased to open the CENGN-Telus-Juniper Throwdown on August 17th. This competition for university students was an excellent way to showcase community businesses and young local talent. I was so happy to see so many young people at this event, some of whom held summer positions with CENGN thanks to the 290 youth jobs created in Kanata-Carleton through Canada Summer Jobs. It is important that we keep investing in our youth and give them the opportunity to gain the skills they need to succeed in the workplace of tomorrow. ADSE and Abbotsford Airshow I was recently in Abbotsford, BC, to attend various functions on behalf of both the Minister of National Defence and Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. At the 2016 Aerospace, Defence, and Security Expo (ADSE), I spoke on behalf of Minister Navdeep Bains about our strong commitment to Western Economic Diversification Canada and the importance of our partnership with the aerospace and defence industries. This provided a great opportunity to connect with leading experts in the both sectors. I also spoke on behalf of Minister Harjit Sajjan at the Abbotsford Airshow, the largest airshow on the West Coast of North America. It was a pleasure to meet with Canadians to discuss our future and to celebrate our contributions to these industries. Capital Pride Everyone’s spirits were high, despite the rain, as I walked in the Ottawa Pride Parade on August 21st. I was proud to be supporting the right to equality for the LGBTQ2 community. Our government is working hard to support all community members, exemplified in this year’s introduction of legislation to protect the rights of transgendered citizens and to prevent discrimination based on gender identity. The floats, displays, and enthusiastic supporters all contributed to the success of the event and made for a wonderful Sunday afternoon. Veterans’ Roundtables It was great to get feedback from Canadians across the country on issues concerning Canadian veterans. Many of the veterans’ issues raised in other parts of the country are the same issues that we have discussed at our own Kanata-Carleton Town Halls. I appreciate the opportunity to listen to veterans and get their feedback. What are your priorities? One of the most important parts of my job as your Member of Parliament is to engage in constructive dialogue and listen to Constituents on what they feel are the most important needs of the community. I am asking for your feedback; what issues do you feel are the most important to you and should be a priority for our government? Leave your comments by visiting my website, http://bit.ly/2aQ5qwc Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Algonquin College to pull out of Saudi campus College will transfer operations of Jazan campus back to Saudi authorities Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Algonquin College announced on Aug. 11 it will no longer operate its male-only campus in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Citing doubts that the international campus would meet the college’s financial objectives, the school said its board of directors has asked senior management to begin the process of transferring responsibility for the campus back to Saudi Arabia’s Colleges of Excellence program.

That program aims to build relationships with post-secondary institutions around the world in order to expand applied training in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the trades. “After more than a year of negotiation, we were unable to come to an agreement that would have met our financial objectives,” college president Cheryl Jensen said in a statement. “We have said from the beginning that the Jazan campus must be financially viable for us to continue operating.” In 2013, Algonquin College submitted a bid to operate a campus for men and women in Jazan. It won the right to operate a campus for men for a five-year

Algonquin College announced on Aug. 11 that it plans to stop operating the Algonquin Jazan College of Excellence in Jazan, citing a lack of financial viability for the campus. term, and its first cohort of students began studies at the Algonquin Jazan College of Excellence in September 2013. The Jazan campus became part of an international portfolio for Algonquin College that includes programs in China, India, Montenegro and Kuwait. Jazan offered 10 vocational programs, and its operations, staff and student recruitment, program development, college services and facilities maintenance were all managed by Algonquin College. It was expected to generate annual revenues of over $25 million. The college has not explained why the campus is no longer considered economically feasible, but estimates the transfer of operations back to Colleges of Excellence program will cost $4.3 million. Doug Wotherspoon, vicepresident of international and strategic planning for Algonquin College, stated in a media release that the college will not

public funding to cover that cost, instead drawing on reserve funds. “International operations at the College are not funded by the provincial government,” Wotherspoon said. “I think it’s important that taxpayers understand that revenues from other non-funded operations will offset any losses incurred by our Jazan campus.” Although a statement released by Algonquin College said there would be no implications for the college’s employees and operations in Canada, it did not say how its staff in Saudi Arabia would be affected by the change. The college would not make Wotherspoon available for comment. The transfer is expected to be complete before students begin the fall term on Sept. 18. “Our goal is to work with Colleges of Excellence to ensure a smooth transition,” Wotherspoon said in the release. We want to provide Colleges of Excellence time to accommodate students’ needs before we fully withdraw from the campus.”

Flour and sugar bags took on many uses from rags to blouses

other was ready to tackle another batch of flour and sugar bags. If she was lucky, she got a sugar bag from Mr. Briscoe at the General Store in Northcote after he finished filling paper bags to put on the shelf in different pound sizes. These bags were smaller than the ones she got at the gristmill, but the printed dye, for some reason, was much harder to get rid of. Depending on what she made out of the flour bags, getting all the dye out wasn’t all that important. It wasn’t unusual to crawl into sheets, made from four opened flour bags, and to still have Red Roses Flour printed for all to see. When Mother was tackling the dye in the bags, you would know what she was doing when you came in the gate at the back yard. You could smell javel water and lye soap a mile away. Once the bags had been washed at least three times, their seams opened, and all the strings and threads gotten rid of, came the job of trying to make the bags suitable

MARY COOK Memories for tea towels, underpants for my sister and me, and of course, pinny aprons, and more often than not, blouses. But getting the dye out was a major job for Mother. The bags would soak overnight in the copper washtub, and if Mother was lucky, the dyes would have greatly faded from the jar of javel water. Using the tongs she used when getting the whites out of boiling water and into the washtub, she would pull each bag out and put it in the big granite dishpan. This was when she would know if the whole exercise was a complete bust. Which more often than not, it was. For the very best of the bags, the smaller sugar bags, for instance, they would be further

treated to a wash of water and lemon juice, and then spread out on the grass to let the sun finish the job. Sadly, that didn’t always work either, and there it would be, the printing, as large as life, maybe a little bit faded, but far from being completely removed. I could see the look on Mother’s face when the javel water didn’t work. It was the same look she got when she tried to make over something that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, realizing the hopelessness of the whole exercise, because the suit material was too heavy, the silk dress too fancy, or, as in many cases, what she took out of the box was fit only for the rag bag. After the kitchen was redded

up, Audrey was sent out to bring in the few flour bags, and the one sugar bag which had been treated to the beating sun for the whole afternoon. Sadly, the printing was as bold as ever. Mother sighed, got out the scissors, and got down to the job of figuring out what could be made. Some would become “not for company” tea towels. The few, which had faded the most, would do for pillowslips and sheets. She held up the one sugar bag, limp from so many washings and javel treatments, and decided it would have to do for a few dishcloths. Then she called me over to the sewing machine, held up one of the flour bags, measured my body from the waist to my knees, and began cutting it up. There was no such thing as having a pattern to go by. I knew I was in for another pair of flour bag bloomers. Thankfully, the bloomers I would wear to the Northcote School, had seen many, many washings, and the ones. Mother was sewing that night

would be ‘play bloomers’ until they had been what she called “well broken in”. Which meant, of course, the printing would be all but gone. Bloomers made out of flour or sugar bags would not be the most comfortable of underwear until they had been washed many times. For the first few times of wearing them, they felt like pieces of cardboard against your body, and the tight elastic in the legs didn’t help to soften them either. Mother had the new bloomers finished before I went to bed. I would wear them often during the summer, breaking them in, and grateful that by the time I went back to the Northcote School, the bright red and blue words, “PRIDE OF THE VALLEY” across the seat would be all but faded away.

Unions say hospitals are grossly underfunded, understaffed Ontario Council of Hospital Unions releases report on local hospitals Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa hospitals are bursting at the seams and there’s not enough staff to care for patients, a report released by the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions said Aug. 18. With eight consecutive years of cuts to healthcare under the current government, the situation is critical, said OCHU president Michael Hurley during a press conference in front of the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital. The report, entitled Fewer Hands: Less Hospital Care, examines staffing, nursing and readmissions in Ontario as compared to other provinces.

The Ottawa Hospital as a result of cuts, has 1,000 fewer nurses and 3,000 fewer general staff, which could be physiotherapists, occupational therapists, respirologists or cleaners, according to Hurley. The data comes from the Canadian Institute for Health Institute. According to OCHU calculations, Ontario government spending on hospitals is $1,395.73 per capita, compared to $1,749.69 in the rest of Canada. That’s a difference of 25 per cent. “The situation is going to get worse with the growing and aging population,” Hurley said. Already the Ottawa Hospital has a higher rate of readmissions than the provincial average. The Ottawa Hospital readmits 9.5 out of 100 patients, compared with the average of 9.1. Hurley blamed readmission on an average of six less nursing hours per patient stay than other parts of the country. “Staff are doing the best

Michael Hurley they can, but they’re overworked, stressed, anxious and often guilty that they’re not doing more,” he said, adding its harder for patients to get into a bed and the stays are shorter. “You’re on a stretcher for a long time before you’re admitted and patients are kicked out before they’re completely healed,” Hurley said. The Queensway Carleton Hospital boasts 7.6 readmis-

sions per 100 patients. Hurley said hospitals have to make cuts to deal with dwindling funding from the province. He said an average hospital’s costs will increase by four per cent per year. The average budget increase is one per cent. “You’ll see an announcement of bed cuts and staff layoffs in this budget cycle,” Hurley warned, adding aside from administrative costs, the average rate of increase for drugs is 15 per cent year over year. A spokesperson from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care said in an email the province is injecting $1 billion into the budget for health care in the 2016 budget. That’s a 2.1 per cent increase this year. “Our hospitals are a key component of our healthcare system,” the email reads.

“That’s why we are increasing funding for Ontario’s hospitals by more than $345 million this year. That includes increasing their operating funding, as well as increased funding for procedures like hip and knee replacements.” The spokesperson added there are currently 35 major hospital projects either under construction or being planned across the province. The 2016 budget includes an additional funding of $270 million for home and community care, $75 million in community based hospice and palliative care and $85 million for community health centres. According to the OCHU report, Ontario falls behind other parts of Canada in the category of “other health care” – which Hurley said includes home and community care. The funding in Ontario is 14.3 per cent

less than Canada as a whole. And while the province boasts short wait times, Ontario has 2.34 hospital beds per thousand population, while the nationwide average is 3.24. Since 2007-08, the length of average stay has declined one full day in Ontario – a 14.9 per cent decline, according to the report. Hurley suggested the government could increase funding to hospitals if they increased corporate taxes. “We have the lowest corporate taxes in North America,” he said. However, the spokesperson said a Service Employees International Union study on Canadian healthcare in 2014 revealed that “when it comes to spending our health care dollars wisely and efficiently, Ontario and Quebec are in the front of pack.”

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!
