Ottawa – which offers homeless individuals and those new to Canada a sustainable source of income by working as soccer officials. “It totally helped me in so many ways; confidence wise, financially and just therapeutically, emotionally,” said Deeves. “I was living at the Mission. I wasn’t hanging around the most positive in-

dividuals. Getting away from that was the most positive thing for me.” CSO was founded in March of this year and has already certified 13 referees, said Wendy Liang, CSO project manager and secondyear commerce and accounting student at the University of Ottawa. Training, which would normally cost $100 a head, is provided for free.

“They are allowed to referee all over Ontario,” said Liang. “We connect them with leagues and connect them with employment. We run workshops that go over soft skills like leadership and teamwork, job searching and interview skills, how to manage finances.” Deeves has officiated games as far away as Hamilton and is certified to referee any age group within a certain level of soccer. “Hundreds of people would come watch right in downtown Hamilton. It was really a different kind of level of referring,” he said. “They had teams from all over Canada show up. They even paid me out in Hamilton. It was worth it. I didn’t even expect that.” Canada Sports Officials

CORPORATE CUP FUNDRAISER

Deeves will be one of the officials at the CSO Corporate Cup at Deevy Pines Park in Kanata on Aug. 29.

Canada Sports Officials offers homeless individuals and those new to Canada a sustainable source of income by working as soccer officials. The initiative, founded by University of Ottawa student group Enactus, pays for the training and certification. The tournament is a fundraiser for the training program as well as a kick-off for a new league that will provide the newly-minted referees with another source of income, said Liang. Most soccer jobs are in the spring and summer, she said, adding the Canada Corporate Sports League will launch in mid-September and run on a weekly basis. “What we’re focused on right now is expanding the opportunities for them,” said Liang. “Participants will be able to make money every

week.” Deeves credits the training program with helping him move forward. He’s now living four blocks away from the University of Ottawa and working to launch his own travel company. doing well

“Shaun is an aspiring entrepreneur and he’s doing really well,” said Liang. “I’m just trying to rebuild my credentials and trying to get myself on a new career path,” said Deeves, whose

goal is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. “This is the best thing I’ve ever done and I’m thankful to Wendy and her crew for hooking me up. They’re only 18 and they’re taking on these homeless people. It was amazing to see these 18 year olds do this so professionally.” Canada Sports Officials partners with the Ontario Soccer Association and Ottawa Street Soccer to offer its programs.

Conservative court date over nomination pushed back Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Conservatives likely won’t head to court over the party’s Kanata-Carleton nomination until after the federal election. Ade Olumide, who was not allowed to run for the nomination, issued an email statement on Aug. 19 saying the hearing scheduled for Sept. 11 had been postponed.   “The party’s lawyer found a way to contact the judge scheduled to hear the matter, during

his vacation, and convinced him to postpone the hearing till after the election,” wrote Olumide in an email to supporters. Conservative national communications director Cory Hann wouldn’t comment on a matter before the court. Olumide requested a trial because party brass did not give him a reason for his disqualification to run as a Conservative candidate, which he said is unconstitutional. “The democratic rights of about three-million federal and

provincial party members to choose their representative to government is an issue of national importance,” he wrote, saying he “will continue to ask the courts to require all parties to bring their nomination rules and procedures into compliance with the Canadian Constitution.” In his email Olumide included a letter he sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, calling them to “voluntarily bind” party nomination rules to a morality clause that any disqualified nomination candidate receive a written reason for his or her ineligibility. Olimude said previously that he believes party insiders didn’t hold much hope he could win the riding in this fall’s election, and when he outsold party memberships seven-to-one he was disqualified him from running. Walter Pamic is the Conservative candidate for KanataFile Carleton for the Oct. 19 federal Ade Olumide says the Conservative party’s lawyer managed to get the hearing scheduled election. for Sept. 11 postponed. Olumide is contesting why he was not allowed to run for the ConWith files from Derek Dunn servative nomination.

One in four Canadian families cares for someone with a disability, but rarely do their daily efforts get recognized. The Canada Cares campaign aims to change that, offering the opportunity for caregivers to be nominated for an award or cash prize. A program of the Canadian Abilities Foundation, Canada Cares has implemented the campaign for the past three years. Until Sept. 18, residents are asked to nominate a friend, family member or professional caregiver, explaining what the caregiver could do with the top prize of $10,000. For Caroline Tapp-McDougall, chair of Canada Cares, the experience of caring for her own mother opened her eyes to what caregivers go through. “My mom was stroke disabled, and I cared for her for 12 years,” she said, adding that her father suffered from ALS at the time. “No one was saying ‘Thank you,’ or recognizing that huge contribution. Caregivers can be anyone – young parents with a disabled child or someone with an older parent. We’re trying to shed light, joyfully, on the role of the caregiver.” Canada Cares will present 10 awards at the Home Care Conference in Ottawa in November – five for family and friends, and another five for professional caregivers. The contest spans the country, with winners selected from four regions. One will receive the $10,000 Canada Cares One Wish Award, which is sponsored by CBI group. A Caregiver-Friendly Workplace Award and Caring Community Award will also be handed out. Tapp-McDougall said that the

need for caregivers is rising as the country’s population ages, and it’s important for those individuals to know they’re part of a community. “Caregivers often feel alone,” she said. “One thing this does is make them part of a team, outside of just their own family,” Tapp-McDougall said that if caregivers can feel that their contribution is broadly recognized, it will help them in their day-to-day tasks.

Friend of drowning victim petitions quarry owner Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

After learning of a former classmate’s recent death, Rebecca Morel decided she never wants to read about another drowning death in the Barrhaven quarry owned by Mattamy Homes. Ngandu was 25 when he drowned in the popular quarry on Aug. 9 while swimming with friends and family. The day before, Ngandu had celebrated his mother’s birthday.

His death is the second at the quarry since 2003, when 18-year-old Sami Mohammed drowned there. In the wake of Ngandu’s death, Morel launched a petition urging Mattamy Homes to install a fence around the quarry as an extra safety measure that she hopes might prevent future accidents and deaths there. “I said I wanted to get this thing set up,” she said. “We’ve got to find a way to prevent anybody else from getting hurt here or drowning.”

Morel attended Deslauriers high school with Jimmy Ngandu for five years. The two first met when Morel enrolled at the Nepean school in eighth grade. After graduating from high school, Ngandu studied bioengineering and biomedical engineering at the University of Ottawa before relocating to Toronto to realize his dream of acting professionally. Although they gradually lost touch in the years after high school, Morel said she liked to periodically peruse the Internet

for updates on Ngandu’s life and career in Toronto, and that she was hit hard by the news of his death. “I was very upset about the fact that his drowning was the second one since 2003,”she said. “And my first reaction was, ‘You mean nothing’s been done since then? One death wasn’t enough?’ I was upset that nobody seemed to have cared or to have done anything about the fact that somebody had passed away.” So her mother – who had

always encouraged her to take action if others hadn’t – suggested she launch a petition. Morel’s target for the petition, which proposes to “have the quarry properly fenced off,” is to collect 3,000 signatures before presenting the petition and a formal letter to Mattamy Homes. Morel created the online petition on a website called iPetitions.com on Aug. 14 and, as of Aug. 20, had collected 188 signatures from friends, family, former classmates and others.

Jimmy Ngandu, 25, died on Aug. 9 while swimming in a popular but off limits quarry in Barrhaven.

The roughly 137-metrewide quarry is a popular destination for swimmers despite No Trespassing signs and the risk of drowning there. Police issued $65 tickets to about 40 swimmers at the quarry in July alone. There is no lighting around the quarry at night, it is not easily accessed by roads and it has steep banks, further complicating rescue responses. In a statement shortly after Ngandu’s death, Mattamy Homes president Kevin O’Shea pledged to continue exploring measures to secure the property against trespassing. “We will continue ongoing consultations to consider other feasible security measures at the property,” O’Shea said. “We continue to urge the public to respect the no trespassing signage so that any future tragic incidents can be avoided.” Morel isn’t the only person to have harnessed online support for Ngandu and his family. A gofundme.com user by the name of Stephen Yves has raised nearly $11,000 in pledges through his fundraiser Jimmy Ngandu - Angel Gone Too Soon on the crowdfunding website. Yves’s description of the fundraiser says that it shares Ngandu’s story, “in hopes that this will aid in helping his mourning family with funeral costs.” Anyone wishing to sign Morel’s petition can go to www. ipetitions.com/petition/fencethe-quarry-for-jimmy.

Watson fast tracks taxi review as protests heat up ‘Driving people to Uber’

Tourists are leaving the city on a bad note. And all of that is bad for business. “Certainly from a public relations standpoint, the taxi industry is not helping itself,” he said. “When they were driving 20 kilometres an hour on the Airport Parkway, it was very frustrating. I think they have to rethink their public relations strategy because quite frankly its driving people to Uber.” Staff had been planning to review the city’s bylaw regulations by the first quarter of 2016, but amid the growing tension, Watson fast-tracked that to be done by the end of this year. The process to choose a consultant to complete the

The taxi industry is doing itself no favours by inconveniencing and angering the public, Mayor Jim Watson said Aug. 19, the day after he asked staff to fast track a review of the city’s taxi bylaw. Airport taxi drivers have been protesting a fee hike by its dispatcher, Coventry Connections, since Aug. 11, first with noisy demonstrations at the Ottawa airport and then, when the courts put a stop to that, with slow-rolling drives down the Airport Parkway. The protests have caused huge

backups on one of the main routes into the city, and a backlash on social media. It’s the latest in a series of actions taxi drivers have taken to protect their industry as it’s been upended by increasing competition from ride connection companies like Uber. Taxi drivers argue the illegal Uber drivers can undercut their fares because they don’t have to pay for licensing or background checks in order to pick up customers. Watson said the taxi protests are causing people to miss flights, or leave loved ones stranded at the airport.

work closed in mid-August, and Watson said the successful bidder would be decided by the end of the month. But whatever comes out of the review, Watson warned he

doesn’t expect to make everyone happy. “Some people want to maintain the status quo, some people want to have a full free-for-all in terms of letting

anyone who wants to drive a taxi drive a taxi, and we have to come to a balance and level the playing field between the new technology and the existing industry,” he said.

LETTER

Gluten a critical issue for some To the editor,

I appreciate columnist Brynna Leslie (“The inevitability of dying,” Aug. 13) bringing attention to the fact that the gluten-free diet is among the latest fad diets – or a “death-defying craze,” as she puts it. F or those with a medical need to eat gluten free, due to celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the matter is a double-edged sword. The popularity of the glutenfree diet has indeed been beneficial in a few ways. When I was diagnosed as a celiac over 10 years ago, there were no gluten-free sections in grocery stores. When you went to a restaurant, you were lucky enough if the server had even heard of gluten, let alone knew how to provide gluten-free food. Today grocery shopping is a much simpler experience, thanks not only to the popularity of gluten-free food but also due to strengthened labelling laws and the Gluten-Free Certification program (www.glutenfreecert.com). Many, many restaurants across our city offer gluten-free options, and glutenfree beer is plentiful both at the LCBO and at bars and pubs. The downside, however, has been that the gluten-free diet has been, in some ways, “cheapened.”

The fact is that the majority of people eating gluten free are doing so not because of celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but because they think it’s healthier (often it isn’t), they think they’ll lose weight (highly questionable) or because certain celebrities swear by it. Thus, when we request gluten-free food at a restaurant, there may be a tendency to not take it seriously, with the assumption that “a little gluten can’t hurt.” Quite the contrary. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a crumb or a slice of bread. When someone with celiac disease ingests gluten – as little as 20 parts per million – the immune system activates and causes dangerous

damage to the small intestine, such that we cannot absorb the nutrients needed for good health. Celiac is not a food allergy – it is an autoimmune disease. For me to continue eating gluten means severe pain in the short term, and an elevated long-term risk of malnutrition, osteoporosis and some particularly lethal forms of cancer. For many, the gluten-free diet is the latest fad. However, for the roughly 35,000 Canadians with celiac disease, it is a necessity of life.

Beach closure policy is silly

ttawa Mayor Jim Watson never fails to tout how fiscally prudent his administration is and how under his watch the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budgeting process is squeezed so tight that the purse strings on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective wallet squeak when you try to tug at them. Watson says it is all about priorities, and he says it over and over again. In general, being stingy about spending public funds is an admirable quality that is indeed the prudent way to go, but there are times when being tight with a public buck can be downright silly. In a city that has a short summer, closing Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches in the middle of August is being penny-wise but pound foolish. It is being silly with a capital â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sâ&#x20AC;?. Ask anyone in the city when the summer season is and they will tell you that it starts at the end of the school year and continues until the Labour Day weekend. That is an eastern Canadian summer. Always has been, always will be. And yet the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer beach season starts in late June but ends on the third Sunday of August. It seems to be an arbitrary end date chosen more with an eye on how to save money on the cost of staff, lifeguards and public health water safety testing, rather than for any common sense

reason that has to do with what residents of the city would consider our summer season. Which is why the closing of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches on Aug. 16 this year, just as the city started to get all hot and bothered by a week-long heat wave, has rightly been mocked as being a ridiculous situation. That is why Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the community and protective services committee, is asking city staff to take another look at the official beach season to see if it can be extended or changed to better align with Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer weather. There are those at the city who say this is the way it has been for years, that the last few weeks of August are traditionally cooler than earlier in the summer, that French schools return to class before the end of August, etc., etc. And anyway, this is what fits our budget. The simple reply to all that is, so what? Just because it has been this way for years doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it is the right way to do something. Summer in Ottawa is short enough as it is. There is no valid reason why we should continue to allow the powers that be at city hall shorten our summers even more by officially closing our beaches before what we all know to be our summer season is actually over.

Fall blight taking hold

his week you can look around and see election signs beginning to sprout on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawns, giant cardboard flowers in blue, red, orange and green. You might feel one way about that or you might feel the other. The odd thing about the sudden flowering of election signs on private property that began last week, was that the federal election was already more than two weeks old when the signs first began appearing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because there are Ottawa municipal regulations that somehow supersede whatever is going on federally. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules state that election campaign signs cannot be on private property until 60 days before the election. This wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of an issue in

blight. Any postponement of their appearance was just fine. You can understand that point of view but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another way of looking at it. Election signs can be unsightly. They can make the city look messy. But who says everything in life has to be tidy? Ever been to a carnival or a picnic? In a way what we see is a metaphor for our system of government. Democracy can be unsightly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly messy. And, like the garden of election signs, democracy is colourful, but not always in the most tasteful of ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good guess that no one at city hall had a 78-day campaign like ours in mind when the 60-day rule was put in place. So there shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, in a reasonable world, be any objection to changing the rules to get rid of the restriction.

federal election campaign can be waged. The new bylaw could just prohibit election signs on private property until the election is called. Then people who consider signs distasteful will simply have put up with them a bit longer. And people who consider it their democratic right to support their candidate by putting a sign on their lawns will have the right to do so for as long as the election lasts. The local rules also prohibit signs on public property, such as road allowances, until 30 days before the election date. That neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change. Obviously, the city is well within its rights there, especially given the necessity of making sure that signs do not interfere with visibility. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to see what harm a lawn sign can do. To some of us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to watch the duels develop on our street.

the dodo bird. But it may be time to pick up the pace. It turns out walking – especially walking quickly – could be the best thing you can do for your health. A study published in British Medical Journal, The Lancet, found that walking pace is a greater predictor of life expectancy than other lifestyle habits such as smoking and blood pressure. Researchers developed a scorecard of factors that

predicted an individual’s risk of dying within five years. Between 2006 and 2010, they studied half a million British adults between 40 and 70 years old, rating them on a variety of factors. “Self-reported information, such as usual walking pace and illness and injuries in the past two years, is generally a stronger predictor of death and survival than biological measurements, such as pulse rate and blood pressure,” reported website EurekAlert. “Surprisingly, self-reported walking pace is a stronger predictor of death risk in both men and women than smoking habits and other lifestyle measurements.” For participants who’d received a cancer diagnosis, self-reporting was also highly

indicative of death and survival, the authors noted. The test was developed by Swedish researchers Prof. Erik Ingelsson and Dr. Andrea Ganna, from the Karolinska Institute. The researchers compared questionnaire answers from participants to health information in the UKBiobank. An online questionnaire called the Ubble Risk Calculator (www.ubble.co.uk) makes it accessible to people around the world. One simply answers 11 to 13 health-related questions, depending on gender, and gets an age result based on general census statistics of adults in the UK. For example, you may be told that you have as much chance of dying within the next five years as a 35-year-old British woman, which is about one in 100. “This is the first study of its kind which is based on a very large study sample, and is not limited to specific populations, single types of risk, or requiring laboratory testing,” said one of the study’s co-authors. The researchers hope individuals and doctors can use the information to determine the highest risk individuals and to help middle-aged and older people make informed lifestyle choices.

City to consider extending supervised beach season Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

With near-record temperatures keeping Ottawa in a sweaty haze in mid-August, it seemed silly that the city’s official beach season ended Aug. 16 with two weeks left before school starts and plenty of warm weather in the forecast. That’s why GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the community and protective services committee, asked city staff to take another look at the official beach season to see if it can be extended or changed to better fit Ottawa’s summer weather. Right now the city’s beaches, including the popular Mooney’s Bay and Petrie Island destinations, open the third Saturday in June and close the third Sunday in August. Depending on the calendar, that could leave residents with between 58 and 65 open beach days a year. Of course, “open” is a tricky term. Anyone can swim at the

beach before or after the official season, but they have to do so at their own risk – meaning there’s no lifeguard on duty. Dan Chenier, manager of parks and recreation for the city, said the open beach season hasn’t changed since the late 1990s, before amalgamation. That’s also the last time the budget for it was increased. He said most years the schedule fits the weather patterns pretty well; the last week or two of August are generally cooler than other times in the summer. And the French elementary students go back to school a week early, cutting down on demand, while at the same time the many university students who work as city life guards start to head back to their school towns. “It’s historical and it’s fitting within that budget,” he said. But he said demand has also started to pick up outside of the regular season. Ottawa frequently sees temperatures

in the high 20s as early as May, Chenier said, and the warm weather can sometimes last into the early fall. With Deans’s request, Chenier said his team will consider “all options” to see if the beach season can be tweaked or stretched to provide lifeguards longer. That could mean weekend coverage only before and after the school break – although that could pose liability problems for the city if the messaging is confusing – or the city could consider staggered start times for some beaches to offer at least a few guarded sites earlier in the season. Chenier said it’s not impossible to make some positive changes, even if the city doesn’t pony up more cash. “It’s achievable if there’s a willingness to decide which beaches will stay open longer,” he said. Deans asked staff to report back to committee before the 2016 budget consultations get underway this fall.

Bells Corners resident David O’Sullivan, left, and Constance Bay’s Jamie Foy stand on a shark sailing boat that will be used in the Shark World Championships, is being held at the Britannia Yacht Club. It started on Aug. 21 and wraps up Aug. 28. O’Sullivan and Foy sail with Foy’s brother, David Foy, to make up the “Crazy Ivan” crew who will compete in the championships. and a combination of the scores – minus one dropped score – will determine the winner on Aug. 28. “We have some pretty hot competition between boats,” said organizing committee chair Joey Kroeger. “Many have been racing against each other for years.” Spectators are able to come out to watch, and can go out in a spectator boat to get a closer look at the races. Daily races start at 11 a.m., so anyone who wants to attend to watch should show up early. Members of the organizing committee are confident that the event will go smoothly, especially because as a lead up to world championships, they hosted the 2014 national shark championships.

And, the championship is no stranger to Ottawa. The first Shark World Championship was held here, in Ottawa, at the Britannia Yacht Club, 50 years ago. They have hosted it again twice more as this is the fourth time the championship is held there. Hopefully, they’ll be a home water advantage for local teams, such as the Crazy Ivan crew, who hope they’ll be able to cinch a win at home. “It’s our home water,” said O’Sullivan. “There are special things about this body of water that only we would know. It’s right in our backyard – we grew up running around this place as kids.”

Sailing a shark boat is a different beast for the crews at the Britannia Yacht Club than many other fleets of boats. A shark boat is about a quarter of the cost of some of the more expensive boats used for sailing, which leads to packed start lines at weekly local races. It has also led to a friendly atmosphere at competitions like world championships, hosted this year by Britannia, where their own crews lend out extra boats to international teams. The yacht club is hosting the Shark World Championships that started Aug. 21 and concludes on Aug. 28. “It’s a low budget, no sponsor class, which keeps the money out of it,” said Jamie Foy, from Constance Bay, who will compete with the “Crazy Ivan” crew alongside his brother David Foy and Bells Corners’ David O’Sullivan. The team is this year’s national champions and three-time world champions after they took the title in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Jamie will lend a boat to an Austrian team who is in town for the competition; European teams returned the favour several years ago when the trio competed overseas. It’s common to share boats to eliminate transportation costs, and crews will often billet with one another or camp out at the regattas. The boats, which are a standard 7.3 metres in length, are a common boat used in Ottawa due to affordability and the amount of local races and regattas every year. There will be five teams from Britannia, and several more from the Nepean Sailing Club, competing at the world championships. Only four countries will compete: Canada, the United States, Germany, and Austria. The boat isn’t as widely used competitively in other parts of the world compared to boats such as the laser, which is featured in Olympic sailing competition. The boats were to race several times a day from Aug. 22 to Aug. 28 – weather depending-

Young’s Pond It is with great pleasure that I can announce the work at Young’s Pond Park is now completed! This has been a four year project and could not have been even attempted without the commitment of the park neighbours who want to share their beautiful natural oasis with everyone and the generous help of our community partners: Waste Management, Thomas Cavanagh Construction, Power-Tek, and Bennett Insurance. Hydro Ottawa and Saunders Drilling also contributed to this project and helped to restore this community gem for future generations to enjoy. On behalf of our whole community - Thank You! The changes made include: We have had the liner replaced so that the water does not drain from the pond providing year around enjoyment. We now have a well ensuring a fresh stable water supply to the pond to welcome back various species like fish, birds and more. We have a bunker installed to provide space for the hoses and shovels of the dedicated volunteers who maintain the wonderful skating surface every winter. Thank you for all the years you stored this equipment in your homes. There is now a power source to run all these upgrades. A circulation system has been installed to ‎ oxygenate the water so that aquatic life can be reintroduced in the pond. Forestry has identified the many different tree species that are now clearly marked for an enjoyable stroll along the pathway or a classroom‎ adventure. Our local Scout/Beaver group has painted bird houses to be installed around the park. It is certainly the hope of our sponsors and myself that families, school children and the many groups in our community will enjoy this natural treasure for many years to come. I invite you to join us on August 30th from noon to 3pm for a community BBQ and celebration! Upcoming Events August 29th: The Trailwest Summerfest will be taking place from 11:00am-3:00pm on the 29th. For more information, please visit www.mytrailwest.ca I am happy to announce that the third outdoor fitness park has been completed at Kristina Kiss park. Please join me on August 29th as we are joined by Fitness for Freedom (fitnessforfreedom.com) for the Grand Opening celebration. Grand Opening will take place at noon. Hope to see you there! September 10-13th: Kanata Ribfest will take place at the Kanata Recreation Complex, 100 Charlie Rogers Place... details to follow as we are working on several festivals and events for our community.

Para Transpo consultations to start in September emma.jackson@metroland.com

City officials will host 16 small sessions to discuss who is eligible to use Para Transpo, and what can be done to make the booking model more efficient. Beginning Sept. 17, OC Transpo officials will welcome 20 people at a time to discuss the barriers and challenges that exist for operators and users of the city’s alternative transit system. The big issue for advocates of people with disabilities seems to be eligibility. Right now, Para Transpo only offers services to people with physical disabilities and mobility concerns that prevent them from using regular OC Transpo services. Users are classified as temporary, permanent or “winter-only” clients, and all require medical documentation to get approved. ALL DISABILITIES

But the provincial Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act includes developmental and cognitive disabilities in its general definition, and this, according to local advocacy groups, means people with those disabilities should also be able to use acDidn’t get your War Amps key tags in the mail?

cessible transit. In May, the city’s transit commission called for a review Para Transpo’s eligibility criteria to better reflect the province’s accessibility standards. Judy Bernstein, director of supports and services at the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities, argued at the time that navigating OC Transpo can be just as difficult for someone with a cognitive delay as it is for someone in a wheelchair. If a person gets hired on the other side of town, for example, it may take three transfers to get there by bus. That can be overwhelming – if not impossible – for someone with a developmental disability. “Because of their cognitive ability they aren’t able to navigate the three transfers, so they have no way of getting to work,” Bernstein said. “It’s been on families to leave their jobs to drive them, or the person doesn’t accept the job.” Even for those who can master a daily OC Transpo route, going off course to get to a doctor’s appointment or a new location could be problematic. “Even construction can throw someone off, or missing their bus,” Bernstein said.

Ottawa Tool Library finds a home in Little Italy Service to open September Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

The Ottawa Tool Library has found a home. The tool-lending non-profit is set to move into Makerspace North, a warehouse in Little Italy that has space for start-ups to rent. The tool library was established last year and has been raising funds and collecting tools while it sought a location. The tool library’s mantra is to enable do-it-yourself work by pooling resources. It will offer residents a way to complete projects without having to go out and buy tools for a single job, said Bettina Vollmerhausen, one of the library’s co-founders. “It’s an amazing community

service that every neighbourhood needs,” Vollmerhausen said. “Many years ago, you used to know your neighbours and know who had what tools. You knew you could borrow your ladder from Joe. That’s less common these days.” The library started a crowd funding campaign in the spring to help raise money for the library’s rent. After the funds were secured, Vollmerhausen wanted to make sure to find a location that was centrally located and easily accessible by many modes of transportation. She said the new 500square-foot space at 250 City Centre, Bay #208, meets those criteria and also gives the library room to grow. “It was a natural fit for us,” Vollmerhausen said. “It’s a huge industrial bay.” The tool library will be the country’s 13th when it opens in September. One of the

first tool libraries in Canada opened in Vancouver in 2011. Since then, three have opened in Toronto. In addition to providing tools to its members, Vollmerhausen said the library will also serve as a place where people can come to learn about tools through workshops. “We thought this is fabulous, because not only will we be able to connect people with tools, but with knowledge,” she said. The library has already collected more than 300 tools for its inventory, which will offer four different types of tools – hand tools, power tools, garden tools and kitchen tools. Memberships cost $50 per individual or $150 for a group. Vollmerhausen said the library is still looking for tool donations as well as volunteers. For more information on donations or volunteering, visit ottawatoollibrary.com. SUBMITTED

Volunteers build a wall in the Ottawa Tool Library’s new space. The library is set to open in September.

Hospital unveils futuristic surgical tools, operating rooms ‘We’re able to work, like in a video game:’ surgeon Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Wearing surgical scrubs, Adam Pluim presses a few keys, watching with an eagle eye as a laser-guided arm with a large scanner shaped like a ‘c’ glides into position at one end of a long operating bed. The GE applications specialist takes a few steps, and with an almost imperceptible twist of his wrist, he manipulates one of several small knobs on a panel attached to the bed, which then tilts up and down with barely a whisper. Facing him are computerized panels illuminating crystal-clear previously scanned images of a patient’s blood vessels, which can be superimposed over real-time imagery of a patient’s vascular system during surgery. The $1.6-million GE Discovery angiography technology – the first of its kind in Canada – was recently installed in one of two brand new $9-million 93-square-metre vascular operating rooms at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus – the largest ORs in the hospital. The high-tech surgical suites are like something out of a movie, and will allow the hospital’s renowned vascular surgical teams to undertake groundbreaking techniques in minimally invasive surgery on patients suffering from life-threatening conditions such as aortic aneurysms. The technology signals that the future is here. “We are now in 21st century medicine and 21st century healthcare,” said Dr. Jack Kitts, Ottawa Hospital president and chief executive,

and a huge fan of the original Star Trek television series. “I don’t think I went into medicine because of Dr. ‘Bones’ McCoy, but I certainly liked the tricorder, and so I’ve been fascinated by the tricorder – that he could actually look into everyone’s body and cure them, even from death,” he said of the fictional handheld scanning device. With the ability of today’s magnetic resonance imaging technology and minimally invasive surgical techniques, “we are getting really, really, really, close to the tricorder,” said the hospital’s former chief of anesthesia. “But when you walk into that (operating) room, you feel like actually you’re looking at the Starship Enterprise,” Kitts said, during the

official unveiling of the rooms and Discovery arm on Aug. 21. The high-tech additions, which took three years to put in place, will help the hospital achieve its goal of being among the top 10 per cent of hospitals in North America when it comes to patient experience and care. By further enhancing the surgical team’s ability to perform less invasive endovascular procedures, more lives will be saved and patients can recover more quickly and experience fewer side effects. Hospital stays and patient wait times will also be reduced. Every year, the hospital’s vascular surgeons perform about 250 operations to repair abdominal aortic aneurysms, in which a section of the aorta – the body’s major blood vessel that runs

from the heart to the abdomen – is enlarged and at risk of or has already ruptured. Paul Tarnowski’s aorta had already burst when he was rushed to hospital. “Mortality rate: 80 per cent,” said the Rothwell Heights resident, who underwent emergency endovascular surgery last August. His surgeon, Dr. Sudhir Nagpal, chief of vascular and endovascular surgery at the Ottawa Hospital, inserted a needle and wire into Tarnowski’s groin to gain access to the aorta and repair the damage. Tarnowski was awake throughout the entire two-and-a-half-hour procedure “and annoying the doctor.”

erful than anything his doctor has used so far. When Nagpal operates on future patients, he will be able to use a ‘live’ feed of diagnostic imagery relayed in real time by the Discovery technology. “It stays on so we can see inside you as we’re doing a procedure,” said Nagpal, who planned to use the scanner for the first time during operations on Aug. 26 and 28. “So when a wire comes up through the leg in an artery, we can see the wire dancing. This is real time where the Xray stays on and we’re able to work like in a video game – literally.” By reducing surgical times, the team hopes to do more of these procedures and fewer open surgeries, which involve opening a patient from ribcage

to pelvis in order to make repairs. “So the complication rates are significantly better with endovascular treatment compared to an open operation, and that’s nothing to say about mortality or even surviving the operation, where their survival of endovascular procedures is significantly better,” Nagpal said. It means more patients will be able to celebrate more milestones in life. “But not only wedding anniversaries, but that people are being able to contribute longer to society and benefitting from healthcare that is being improved constantly,” Tarnowski said. “The doctors – having state-of-the-art technology in their hands is being put to very good use.”

Ottawa West-Nepean Liberal candidate Anita Vandenbeld, right, is joined by former Progressive Conservative MP David Daubney to plant a Vandenbeld sign on Daubney’s lawn on Aug. 20, the first day campaign signs were permitted in Ottawa yards.

Harper has former Tory MP seeing red David Daubney adds Liberal sign to his lawn Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

It’s not uncommon for political candidates to receive endorsements from past representatives from within their own party. But in Ottawa West-Nepean, Liberal candidate Anita Vandenbeld is being backed by two former Progressive Conservatives. Vandenbeld was welcomed onto the lawn of former PC MP David Daubney on Aug. 20 to place one of her red Liberal signs where blue Tory signs have stood during many past elections. Daubney said it was an emotional decision to place the sign on his lawn – located in the Carlingwood area – but said he can’t bring himself to back the Harper Conservatives. “Harper has left this coun-

try in bad shape,” Daubney said. “The notion that he’s the only one in Canada who can keep the economy going when we’re in such bad shape is scandalous.” vice-president

Daubney was joined by Moe Royer, former national vice-president of the Progressive Conservative party, to plant the Vandenbeld lawn sign, further indication that former PCs may be feeling less connection with current Conservatives since the Reform-PC merger. “Voters know the Harper government is quite different from the governments led by Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark,” Daubney said. Daubney served as co-ordinator of the sentencing reform team at the Department of Justice prior to retirement, and

said Harper’s “mean spirited nature” helped him decide to back the local Liberal candidate. “We couldn’t get this (Conservative) government to give a cent to restorative justice,” Daubney said. “The evidence on mandatory minimum sentences was as clear as a bell and they just ignored it. You have to look at alternatives when they are cheaper and they work.” Vandenbeld was clearly pleased to receive the backing of both Royer and Daubney. “For so many Canadians, Stephen Harper’s government doesn’t reflect their values,” Vandenbeld said. The other candidates registered in Ottawa West-Nepean as of press time were Abdul Abi (Conservative) and Rod Taylor (Christian Heritage). The federal election is scheduled for Oct. 19.

Tentative deals reached with high school teachers Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

Parents of high school students are no doubt welcoming the news of a tentative agreement forged between the province and the union representing public secondary school teachers. On Aug. 20, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) released details of a contract agreement to its members, just days after returning to the table at the request of Premier Kathleen Wynne. Details were then leaked to media outlets. Bargaining talks between the OSSTF, province and Public School Boards’ Association broke off earlier this summer, with the impasse leaving many in fear of a fall strike.

Under the contract, which still has to be voted on by members, teachers would see a one per cent lump sum payment this year, followed by a one per cent salary bump next year, and a half a per cent the year after. Sick leave and benefits would also be boosted, and an extra PA day would be added to the school year. The union had earlier claimed that the labour strife wasn’t related to salaries - rather, it was taking action to ensure the autonomy of teachers within the school board environment. The OSSTF said the increase would be paid for with savings found elsewhere in the education budget, as required under the province’s ‘net zero’ bargaining stance. The ratification process was expected to begin soon. News of the tentative agreement

was welcomed by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, whose full-time and occasional teachers are represented by the OSSTF. “This is excellent news for secondary students and their families and for our staff,” said Shirley

Seward, chair of the board. “Although we have not seen the details, I am hopeful that this will lay the foundation for fair and fully funded negotiated agreements with our other labour partners, provincially and locally”.

On Aug. 25, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) announced it would be suspending its work-to-rule campaign after reaching a tentative agreement. No details were released about the agreement, though Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals said it was a net-zero deal. - With files from Torstar News Service

Ottawa writer blends fact and fiction in first murder mystery Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

James Corbett is not one to shy away from a challenge – in his life and in his storytelling. The Riverside South resident has penned and self-published his first book, a fictional murder mystery based on true events and set in Corbett’s hometown of Stellarton, N.S. Through the Eye of a Needle is a compilation of short stories woven into one that is told through veteran police

Det. John Bernd, the main character of the story who returns to his hometown in Nova Scotia. “From the unearthing of human remains, acts of pedophilia by those who hold high places, and through the agony of childhood bullying, Bernd uncovers truths of his idyllic county that should have stayed buried,” Corbett writes on the back cover of his book. “The investigation of a missing girl will be the spark that forever alters a community on the northern shore of Nova

Scotia.” “I had a story to tell,” explained Corbett, who was not phased at the idea of writing a book, even though he is blind – the result of a scuba diving incident when he was 30. Released through Baico Publishing in May, Corbett, now 52, applied his passion for writing short stories to craft the 392-page work of fiction. “My father told me ... that in his lifetime, having lived in the area, that there was an awful lot of people that dis-

appeared,” he said. “But also in my lifetime, I know kids I grew up with and disappeared.” Some of the young people who disappeared were runaways. Others headed west to look for work after the collapse of heavy industry in the region some 30 years ago. “People struggled. People couldn’t afford their children,” Corbett said. “Alcoholism (has) a high percentage on the east coast. And when you’re 16, you think you know everything and you hit

the road.” When hunters would head into the woods each fall, almost every year they would find human remains – the result of murder or suicide. Locals were never too sure, he said. “The overall theme is abuse, bullying, sexual abuse and what becomes of it,” said Corbett. “I’d say 70 per cent of the book is factual. Thirty per cent is a work of (fiction).” Through his investigation, Bernd confronts those

responsible for the systemic abuse of children by people in positions of authority. “There is a lot of reading between the lines,” Corbett said, adding that Stellarton was not immune to similar crimes. Though he has a published work, Corbett does not consider himself an author. “I always wanted to tell a story. I’m not an author. I’m a storyteller,” he insisted. “I think an author has to be educated in the ways of writing.” See MEMORY, page 24

Promote self-confidence in children through sports and martial arts Playing individual and team sports is a great way to help children develop social

skills and raise self-esteem. The City’s Fall and Winter Recreation eGuide offers a wide selection of classes that provide these benefits, as well as building upon life skills. For some, the journey to higher self esteem begins and ends with martial arts. You can register for a variety of martial arts classes from the more familiar practices of Karate and Judo, to the lesser known ones such as Kendo, Capoeira and Aikido Yoseikan. In addition to building confidence, martial arts are known to promote physical fitness, discipline, respect and self control. Participating in sports and exercise can create a supportive environment that acknowledges a child’s skill development and provides positive social relationships with teammates and coaches. Consider ball hockey, basketball or the Saturday morning Sports Club for a unique team experience. You are never too young to start learning these skills. Children three and four years old can develop athletic ability and improve confidence through sport and games in a sportball class. The program introduces basic skills such as balance, large muscle development and body awareness. There is also a variety of sports options for adults and children alike offered through City-wide Sports. Physical activity programs promote fun, friendship, skill development, confidence building and fair play values while learning to play in a team setting.

More than sports

Not into the sports scene but still want to move? Children can also expand their creative scope and gain confidence in their abilities through jazz dance; or improve balance, coordination and self-esteem through Irish dancing. How about cheerleading for a different kind of team activity?

Though blind and unable to visually revisit the setting of his book, he was able to accurately describe most scenes from memory, so accurately that Corbett’s 19-year-old son couldn’t get over how the setting of the book matched Stellarton. “He was able to stand on certain corners and see the story,” Corbett said. The novel represents a milestone achievement for Corbett. “I never thought I could achieve something like that,” he said. “I knew the story was

that went on forever and was thrown out,” Corbett said. “It’s just a big joke. That’s where the story starts off – a trial that is a farce. “Then I digress back to the actual events and then I flip back to the trial and what happens.

in me, but I didn’t know if I could get the story out.” When he finished his book, the emotions of the achievement overwhelmed him. “I actually sat there and cried,” Corbett said, recalling his relief and elation. He’s already written a second book in the John Bernd series, and is hoping Of Cross and Crown will be published by Christmas 2017. It explores the 1992 Westray mining explosion, which happened just down the road from Stellarton in the small town of Plymouth. “There was a court case

Jewish Federation taps young professions for campaign launch ‘FED Talks’ event to feature Marc Kielburger Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

Young professionals under the age of 45 will take centre stage at the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s annual campaign launch on Sept. 9, giving a voice to the emerging leaders of tomorrow. Organizers of the campaign wanted to bring a younger voice to the event, partnering with the JFO-affiliated Ben-Gurion Society (a JFO donor recognition program and under-45 networking forum) to create an evening modelled after the popular “TED Talks” format. The event – FED Talks – will feature the theme of L’dor v’dor (From generation to generation) and will stay in line with BGS’s mandate of community leadership and philanthropy. Guest speakers at the event include Marc Kielberger, co-founder of Me to We, and Free the Children, blogger Allison Josephs and Ottawa-born comedian Jon Steinberg. Organizers hope the stories shared by the speakers encourage audience members to become more engaged outside their homes and workplaces, whether it’s in the Jewish community or the broader Ottawa community. “We’re trying to emphasize that we, the next generation, are trying to flex our leadership muscles, but we want to ensure we’re doing it in a respectful manner,” said campaign

launch co-chair Tamara Fathi, who will be joined on stage by Dr. Stacy Goldstein during the event. Fathi said that previous years featured a single keynote speaker, which compelled them to shake up the format by offering three varied but impactful voices. “It should be a good evening –

driving home our messaging while still being enjoyable,” Fathi said. “It’s so important to be respectful to those who came before you. We want to empower the next generation while embracing the previous one.” The JFO’s campaign launch will take place on Sept. 9 at Centrepointe Submitted Theatre, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tamara Fathi of the Ben-Gurion Society is organizing the Jewish FedTickets are available at centrepoin- eration of Ottawa’s annual campaign kickoff with the help of Stacie tetheatre.com.

Archery Games takes aim at Ottawa Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

If dodgeball and archery had a baby, its name would be archery tag. Three local entrepreneurs have brought the growing sport to Ottawa in the city’s first archery tag arena called Archery Games. The game, which was invented in the United States, recently saw its popularity in Toronto skyrocket, as archery tag facilities started popping up all over the GTA. “People are looking for alternative ways of having fun,” said Brian Seto, one of the owners of Archery Games. “I’m always looking for new things to do, and this definitely falls right up that alley.” Seto, and his partners Ramsey Jackson and Qi Hu, are set to open their brand new 8,000-square-foot facil-

ity in the south end at 1860 Bank Street, Unit # 3B on the weekend of Aug. 21. The game is played by teams of six to 10 people, armed with bows and arrows with foam tips. Archery tag follows similar rules to dodgeball. Players are eliminated from the game when they are hit by an opponent’s arrows. But if a player catches an arrow, the shooter is out and one of their eliminated teammates can come back into the game. The sport is played with masks on and is less painful than paintball, according to Jackson. The arrows do not leave welts when they make contact and hurt as much as having a tennis ball thrown at you, Jackson added. “While it’s similar to a lot of other tactical games, it’s totally a different type of game,” he said.

ALEX ROBINSON/METROLAND

Qi Hu, of Archery Games, aims during a demonstration of archery tag. Archery Games was set to hold its grand opening at 1680 Bank St. on Aug. 21.

Archery tag craze arrives in Ottawa Continued from page 34

back on if one of the ventures was not as profitable, Jackson said. “We really didn’t want to abandon escape rooms, because we know we can do something really cool, but instead of waiting to slowly build it up we thought we should take advantage of this huge space we have,” Jackson said. Bookings can be made online and the facility will only be open Friday evenings and on weekends at first.

“With paintball, you hide and spray bullets at each other, but with this game you only have one shot, because you’re only holding one arrow at a time. So it’s more about being stealthy and accurate and less about brute force.” The owners first leased their space to build an escape room facility, but soon realized they had enough space to do more than just that.

Escape rooms are one of the latest crazes in adult entertainment, in which a group of people is locked in a room and find their way out by solving a puzzle. When the trio discovered archery tag and tried it out in Toronto, they decided bringing the new sport to Ottawa would be a good way of diversifying their space. Hedging their bets on both endeavours would also give the entrepreneurs something to fall

Teens test drive firefighting as a career at Camp FFIT Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Dressed in full firefighting gear, Michelle Flinter looked every bit the part of a real-life hero. The 16-year-old Old Ottawa South resident was one of 24 teenage girls, between age 15 and 19, who participated in a five-day crash course to learn what firefighters do on the job, which the teens hope will help them decide if becoming a firefighter is for them. The girls, 11 of whom came from as far away as Halifax, Quebec and west of Toronto, forged strong bonds with one another through the intensive training session at the Ottawa fire training division building on Industrial Avenue, from Aug. 17 to 21. “Everyone here is in the same boat because we don’t know what we want (to do in life),” Flinter said. “It’s going to be hard because I need to choose what I want to do in university ... or if I want to be a firefighter,”

said Flinter, who will start Grade 11 at Immaculata High School in September. “I’m hoping this right now will let me know what I want to do.” Just a day-and-a-half into their training at Camp FFIT (Female Firefighters in Training), the teens had learned ladder and hose work, what it takes to rescue people in a dark space, the tools firefighters use on the job, how to force their way through locked doors and how to safely climb a 30-metre aerial ladder to the top of a training tower. “I think it’s going to be my top career choice at this point in my life,” Flinter said during her second day of training on Aug. 18. “I really do enjoy it, and they do a really good job making us feel welcome.” That is partly why Camp FFIT was first offered in Ottawa six years ago, modeled after the Phoenix Firecamp in Utica, N.Y. “We give them an education on what they would need to take at school because

they’re at that age where they’re trying to decide what they want to be and selecting courses, so it’s the perfect age to do that,” said acting Lieut. Louise Hine-Schmidt, a 16-year firefighter who now works at Station 11 in Lincoln Heights. “If you catch them too much older, they’ve already made up their minds.” By the end of the week, the camp participants were to have worked their way up from learning general safety and other basic skills to cutting into a roof and extinguishing a controlled car fire. Hine-Schmidt was among the first three female firefighters to join the Ottawa service, and helped establish Camp FFIT. The program, which attracted 50 applicants this year, is held in partnership by Ottawa Fire Services and the non-profit Fire Service Women of Ontario, which is made up of female firefighters across the province.

Hine-Schmidt still takes part in the youth training program, and this year planned to instruct the young women on tying ropes and rappelling from a tower. “I hope that now, as women come on, everything’s a little bit easier for everybody because they (male firefighters) didn’t know what to expect (at the time). I didn’t know what to expect,” she said of her early days on the job. “Suddenly, you’re thrust into this new family, you’re living together, you’re cooking together, you’re running on calls together. “Nobody knew what to expect because a lot of people didn’t think women could do this job,” Hine-Schmidt said. Though it’s been more than 16 years since women first joined the Ottawa service, there are still very few female firefighters in the city today. Of the approximately 900 full-time suppression firefighters in Ottawa, between 22 and 25 are women, while there are only 30 females among the 450 volunteer firefighters. The department is trying to determine what, if any, barriers are keeping more women,

Kendra Hoey, 17, of Orléans, left, and Kyra Constantine, 17, of Brampton, attempt to open a door during forcedentry training at the Ottawa fire training division building on Industrial Avenue on Aug. 18. as well as people of different ethnicities, from pursuing firefighting careers here. “At this point in time it’s still to be determined. We’re still doing a lot of research,” said Deputy Chief Kim Ayotte, adding the department has been working with a consultant to identify and reduce barriers since 2013. “It’s a long process,” he

said, when asked what those barriers are. Being hired on as an Ottawa firefighter is not easy. Every two years, when the service recruits new firefighting personnel, more than 2,000 applications come flooding in. “Out of that we might hire maybe 100 in that two-year period,” Ayotte said. “So it is very, very competitive.”

CHEO named paperless leader for digitizing patient records erin.mccracken@metroland.com

CHEO’s outpatient clinics are no longer leaving a paper trail. The regional children’s hospital is one of just a handful of hospitals – less than one per cent of 650 hospitals in Canada – that are fully adopting a new searchable and shareable electronic health records system. The move to the new US$3.7-million software system, known as Epic, has made CHEO the first hospital in Canada to be given a prestigious stage six electronic health records designation from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, which analyzes IT-related health-care data. “We went from a complete paper environment to a paperless environment in about 18 months,” said Dr. Jim King, CHEO’s chief medical information officer. CHEO’s medical staff hope to use real-time information inputted into the new system to make better clinical decisions, improve outpatient care, even save more lives. “Our overarching theme is to have one patient, one chart – so everything is in one record,” said King, who is overseeing the system’s implementation. “We have multiple records across the organization or multiple places where information could exist.” CHEO’s outpatient clinics, which fielded more than 161,000 visits last year alone, first began transferring over to the new system in October 2013. Epic is now in place at 43 clinics, including those specializing in pediatric medicine, diabetes, urology, concussions and neurosurgery. Another six go live in October and two more will be integrated by the end of the year. Another two, including the pre-assessment operating room clinic, will go paperless when Epic is fully integrated in the rest of the hospital within the next two to three years, including at its inpatient and emergency departments. The system will especially benefit patients with long-term and complex health conditions, such as diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease, replacing reams of paper files with the high-tech, intuitive database. CHEO is already reaping significant returns on the record system, including a financial savings, a twoper-cent reduction in test duplication and a three-per-cent decrease in medication errors. “Previously in our ambulatory system, all our prescriptions were written on paper,” said King. “When I would write a prescription for my patient, I would need to remember that the patient is on three different medications and two of them could

have an interaction.” Doctors could only hope pharmacists would then spot any potential medication issues. “Now the system actually checks for allergies, for duplications, that we don’t order the same medication twice,” King said. Epic also comes with a patient health portal that parents will be able to access to track their child’s medical information, see lab results

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 27, 2015 39

and appointments and use it to ask doctors questions. The portal is currently in place for diabetes patients, but the plan is to expand it to other clinics. “And in the future (parents and patients will) be able to answer questionnaires through it, provide pre-assessment information before they come into the clinic,” said King. The system will ultimately mean

less testing and needles for patients, he said, adding that parents will also receive alerts when patients are due to undergo additional testing. The hospital has already seen a financial savings, though just how much money Epic will save CHEO won’t be fully known until the system is fully implemented. “In general, you do see a return on your operating margin and we have seen some savings,” King said.

“We’re paying for less transcription. We don’t need to store as many records.” The change, however, doesn’t mean CHEO will be shredding its paper patient records any time soon. As a children’s hospital, it keeps all patient records for 43 years. “We have never gotten rid of a record to date,” King said of CHEO’s paper patient files, which are stored off-site.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. 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

Q: I run a small business and I am currently in the process of looking for commercial space. Do I need a lawyer to review the lease? A commercial lease is a complex legal document. In addition to the usual but important commercial provisions such as the term of the lease and monthly rentals, there are numerous other commercial and legal provisions and terms that may significantly increase costs or may otherwise adversely affect your business. Most commercial leases are not in a standard form and vary substantially from each other. This significantly complicates review by anyone other than the most experienced business person or professional advisor because even seemingly minor variations may have significant impact on costs or legal rights. A simple example is in respect of the leasehold improvements that a landlord builds for you at the commencement of the lease. You might expect, correctly, that those improvements belong to the landlord at the end of the lease. You might not expect that the lease may provide the Landlord with the option of requiring you to pay the cost of tearing out those improvements at the end

of the term - yet some leases provide exactly that. A Landlord has a legitimate interest in knowing who their tenant is, and thus many leases provide for restrictions on assignment. At the same time, you may wish to sell your business sometime in the future, and want to know that you can do so without being unfairly restricted by your landlord. In our experience, most landlords are willing to negotiate one-sided assignment restrictions to provisions that more fairly balance their concerns with your business objectives. The commercial lease is often the first or second largest expense line after salaries and wages and accordingly requires careful consideration.

Mayors push capital priorities ahead of election Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The national capital region’s two mayors have come together for the first time to put local issues on the national agenda ahead of the federal election this fall. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin announced Aug. 19 a three-point plan to make sure federal candidates running locally know what Ottawa and Gatineau need and want from the federal government. “We realize how important the federal government is to our respective cities,” Watson said. “They’re the biggest employer; they make decisions that have a direct impact on our residents more so than most other communities in Canada.” See CITIES, page 43

Cities want representation on NCC board Continued from page 41

Beginning Aug. 20, Watson will host candidate briefing sessions for the four major parties, and the two mayors will each host a debate at their city halls this fall to talk about municipal issues. That could range from infrastructure challenges to transit projects and even funding for more affordable housing. Ottawa’s debate is scheduled for Oct. 5. The mayors will also send questionnaires to local candidates on both sides of the river, the results of which will be published verbatim at the end of September. “It is our hope that if we are clear about our priorities we will continue to make progress on the issues that matter most to the residents of Ottawa and Gatineau,” Watson said during a press conference outside the Museum of History in Gatineau.

“We’re two cities, but we really are one region.” The list of federal issues affecting municipalities across the country is long and growing. Canada Post’s plan to end doorto-door mail delivery has made headlines across the country, and funding for the renewal of crumbling infrastructure has been a longstanding concern in virtually every Canadian city. Watson said funding programs that only accept shovel-ready projects is not good city planning. “Some of these major infrastructure projects take years to see the light of day because there are re-zonings, there are site plans and First Nations issues,” Watson said. “You can’t simply rush a major project like a water works or sewer project or a light rail transit project.” Predictability when it comes to job cuts would also be helpful,

Watson said, so that city planners aren’t scrambling to catch up when a major employment hub closes or moves. “When they made the decision to move jobs to the Nortel campus (in the west end) from DND (downtown), that had a direct impact on our transit planning,” Watson said. “We need fewer surprises from the federal government and more predictability on what’s going on.” NCC PLANS

Perhaps the most frustrating decision-making process that keeps Ottawa and Gatineau in the dark comes from the National Capital Commission, a Crown corporation responsible for developing and maintaining federal lands in the capital region. It’s an organization that’s unique to Ottawa-Gatineau, and in recent

Day Ladies

history has had rocky relationships with both municipal councils. Watson said it’s frustrating that Ottawa and Gatineau don’t have liaisons on the NCC’s board of directors to offer insight from a city planning perspective. The recent drama surrounding the controversial Victims of Communism memorial beside the Supreme Court downtown is a good example of the lack of consultation the city currently deals with, Watson said. “It’s a reasonable suggestion that the NCC would welcome the opportunity … to have the input of the representatives of the people on both sides of the river,” Watson said, noting the change would have to come from the federal government, not the NCC. “It would be in the interest of the NCC, the federal government and the municipalities to have better communications and liaisons.”

Meaning of patience revealed

hat girl has the patience of Job,” Mother said. She said it often enough of my sister Audrey, and I had no idea who Job was, that I was determined to find out what the word patience meant. If Audrey had an abundance of it, maybe I could claim to have it too, since we

were sisters, and it seemed to be something of great value. And so one day, just before school was let out for the summer, I asked Miss Crosby if she would look up the word “patience” in the big black dictionary that sat on the corner of her desk. She read me the description, which had big words like “tolR0023433754

erance” and “endurance” in it. I was still none the wiser, and I decided Job was someone Mother knew in Renfrew, because there certainly was nobody out in Northcote by the name of Job. At any rate, my older sister Audrey had the same trait as this fellow Job. And then one day, a discussion around the supper table sent me into a panic, and I couldn’t even eat my piece of raspberry pie, which was my favourite. Audrey was finished at the Northcote School, and like so many girls from the farms around, that meant going off to Renfrew and doing housework for the rich people. I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down my face right onto the pie in front of me. Audrey put her arm around my shoulders and told me that day was a long way off, and I wasn’t to fret about it. She was needed on the farm, she said, and that’s where she would be staying.

MARY COOK Memories I asked her to “promise and hope to die,” which was right up there in importance with asking God for a special favour. She again assured me she would be right at home for a long time to come. Who would sing to me at night when we went to bed? Whose arm would reach out across the bed roll, and keep me safe when the whippoorwills sang their eerie songs when it was black as pitch outside, and I was terrified they would get in the house? And who would sit with me in the long grass and pull dandelion stems, then split them and roll them down into tight curls, and make up stories about how the women of long,

long ago got the idea of curling their hair from the dandelions? And I thought of the many times Audrey and I stretched out on the grass on a summer’s day when the sky was full of soft white clouds. It was Audrey who defied anyone at the Northcote School to pick on me; even bad Marguirite got to know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing if she made fun of my hand-medown clothes or my long red ringlets. Wasn’t it Audrey who, when I asked, would sit with me in the very swing I was in at that moment, and tell me imaginary stories of far off lands, and people who spoke

in different tongues, and wore different clothes. And when I would say, “Tell me another one Audrey,” she would simply let out a long sigh and begin another story. And wasn’t it Audrey, who would take the book I had chosen from the Renfrew Library, with big words I couldn’t read, and sit with me at the kitchen table before bedtime, and read to me when I knew she would much rather be reading her own book? And wasn’t it Audrey, even knowing I had little talent, who spent hours trying to teach me how to make French knots, and daisies on the end of flour bag tea towels? And she would praise me and say how clever I was. As I sat in the swing that day, seeing in my mind’s eye, all the things my sister Audrey did for me, and the hours she spent with me, I knew then what mother meant when she said, “That girl has the patience of Job.” Audrey certainly, as far as I was concerned, had patience. Sadly, I never did find out who that guy Job was.

The president of the Kanata Seniors Council says the council is a crossroads, and members need to come out and support the group and voice their opinions more than ever. “Seniors today are a very different group. The 75-year-old of today, is not the 75-year-old of 20 years ago,” said president Sarah Trant. “We want to adjust our programs to adapt to the seniors of today.” She hopes to see a strong turnout at the annual general meeting, which will be held on Sept. 14 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kanata Seniors Centre, adjacent to the Mlacak Centre, at 2500 Campeau Dr. The council currently runs a café, located inside the seniors centre, which provides hot lunches to area residents for an affordable price. They also offer computer classes for only $5 each, special day trips to area attractions such as Park Omega, and host special guest speakers. ACTIVE SENIORS

Trant says there have been shifts in how both elderly seniors and younger baby boomer seniors live. Many seniors are

most computer-savvy – or have the desire to learn to be – and active at an older age. She also said more seniors find themselves living in a different city than their children, as their grown children often travel or move for careers, leaving them without the same care or support system as past generations of seniors. She said there are some naysayers who would like to see the council fold all together, but the council adds a lot of value for the senior community in Kanata, and it needs to be able to adapt with the times, not fold. The seniors council operates out of the Kanata Seniors Centre, built as a part of the John G. Mlacak Centre. The centre is city-owned and run, and Ottawa runs educational and recreational programs in the same space where the council operates. “If we had to agree the council’s not relevant, the computer services would go, the travel club would go, and the café would be at risk,” Trant said. The council programs are primarily volunteer run from a volunteer base that Trant hopes will expand in the coming year.

Vice-president Valerie O’Callahan said the council is an important part of the community, especially because so many seniors live on a fixed income. The Kanata Seniors Council operates the café six days a week from morning through lunch. It allows a hot meal for a good price, and frequent day trips for those who may not be able to afford to go away every winter. There is the potential that new programs or offerings could develop through the council in the future, Trant said. “Can we put in a structure to build a scaffolding for the future?” she asked. “We’re trying to define what is needed.” The best way to show support for the council is to volunteer, and show up for the annual general meeting. Last year, 60 of the 1,400 members showed up, a number Trant hopes will significantly increase this year. “If we see a poor turnout, I think it could very well disappear,” she said. Registration to join the council and vote at the annual general meeting is required, but is free. For more information, visit kanataseniors.ca.

Having the option to fit online courses with the ILC into her busy schedule is what she credits for her success. A resident of London, Ontario, Waignein is currently enrolled in Fanshawe College and will be studying general arts and science with the goal of becoming a medical radiation technologist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long road ahead and the field is really competitive, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want to do,â&#x20AC;? says Waignein.

NC) Finding a career that you are devotedly passionate about doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always happen in high-school. Many discover their true passion after years of work in a field and strive to achieve their career goals in a new industry. What Danielle Waignein refers to as a mid-life crisis is, in fact, the pursuit of a life-long dream. In high school, Waignein held herself back, believing she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the smarts to follow her vision. After graduating, she worked as a hairstylist for a decade and picked up some courses here and there at her local community college, but always had a passion for medicine and science. After a cross-country move, raising a family, and other life obligations, she found herself working in a job that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like a career, and dreaming of â&#x20AC;&#x153;something more cerebral.â&#x20AC;? One morning last year, she woke up, decided to make some changes, and never looked back. It started with a commitment to live a healthier lifestyle and was soon followed by a commitment to upgrade her marks over the next year, with the goal of getting into her desired college program.

KEEP ON LEARNING

Why doing your education online could work for you Save time and money, minimize disruptions in your life (NC) As the fall season sets in, education is on the minds of many Canadians. For those who are considering continuing their education, learning in the classroom isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always an option. Between work, family, and social commitments, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much free time. Learning must be flexible and dynamic. For many of us a popular alternative to in-class learning is distance education. Distance education can help students meet their educational goals while giving them the freedom to continue their life: 1. It is convenient: Online learning allows for flexibility. Students can learn anywhere at any time on a computer or tablet with internet access. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picking up an extra credit, improving high school grades or studying new subjects to help facilitate a career change, learning can easily fit into an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. TVOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independent Learning Centre (ILC),

for example, offers accredited high school courses in a variety of subjects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from mathematics to the arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helping adult students meet a variety of personal and professional goals. 2. It is affordable: With costs starting as low as $40 per course registration, picking up an extra credit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to break the bank. Although education costs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to tuition, online learning allows students to save on commuting, some learning materials (e.g. textbooks) and additional fees like childcare. 3. Students can learn at their own pace: Every student has a preference for how they like to learn; solo studying allows you to cater your learning to your individual needs, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a half hour at a time or three solid hours. In addition, interacting with teachers and students can be intimidating. Online communication with other students and teachers allows for more time to collect your thoughts and formulate questions. newscanada.com

KEEP ON LEARNING Is your home burglar proof for back to school? Here are some tips (NC) Burglary can leave families feeling vulnerable and violated. According to security experts, by far, the most common threat to our home while we are back at work and school is burglary. Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Customer Care for ADT Canada, says the first step in burglary prevention is gaining an understanding of who commits these crimes and why.

“The majority of home and apartment burglaries occur during the daytime when most people are away at work or at school,” De Luca explained. “Burglaries also occur at night when there are obvious signs that residents are away.” Most home burglars are young males looking for things that are small, expensive, and can easily be converted to cash. Items like cash, jewelry, guns, watches, laptop computers, and

other small electronic devices are high on the list. Quick cash is needed for living expenses and drugs. Although home burglaries may seem random in occurrence, they actually involve a careful selection process “This selection process is simple,” De Luca added. “They choose an unoccupied home with the easiest access, the greatest amount of cover, and with the best escape routes.” What follows is a list of sug-

gestions from ADT, providing Protectron’s line of products, to minimize your risk by making your home unattractive to potential burglars. • The first step, according to De Luca, is to “harden the target” or make your home more difficult to enter. “Remember burglars will simply bypass your home if it requires too much effort or requires more skill and tools than they possess,” he says. Most burglars enter via R0013417375

the front, back, or garage doors. Burglars know to look inside your car for keys and other valuables so keep it locked, even inside your garage. Use high quality Grade-1 or Grade-2 locks on exterior doors to resist twisting, prying, and lock-picking attempts. • When on a long-term business trip, leave a car in your driveway or arrange for a neighbor to keep a car there and move it around from time to time. Have someone mow your lawn, rake leaves, or shovel snow and pick up your mail while you’re away. • Home security systems play a crucial role in a home security plan and are very effective, if used properly, especially when monitored 24-7 by ULC-listed monitoring centres. De Luca cautions that home security systems need to be properly installed and maintained to be most effective. He recommends your home

security system include a loud inside alarm, detectors at all exterior doors, and motion sensors in the master bedroom and main living areas. • For ultimate control and peace of mind while you’re at work, he recommends you look into the new fully interactive wireless security systems where you can arm and disarm your alarm, lock or unlock your front door, control lights and your home’s thermostat at the touch of your smartphone. You can even include interior and exterior cameras with interactive surveillance that enables parents to receive alerts to view the comings and goings of their children from school or cleaning staff in video or image format on their work computer or smartphone.

Teach college students how to make their money last ary spending is where many students get into trouble. Set a weekly limit on certain types of spending like eating out, entertainment, and shopping. According to the RBC Student Finances Poll, 42 per cent of students wish that they knew how much all those little extras cost. • Track your purchases – Use your smartphone and find an online budget tool to note purchases and track spending. Review both each month to be sure you are not overspending and make any necessary adjustments. • Make your spending go further by finding the right credit card. Whether it’s a credit card that gives you cashback on everyday purchases or one that allows you to earn and redeem rewards points on for supplies – using the right credit card can help you manage your budget.

(NC) One of the biggest challenges students face when they head back to school is managing their money. In fact, an RBC Student Finances Poll reveals that 71 per cent of respondents are worried that their savings will not cover all of their school expenses for the year. “With a full schedule of classes, studying, and exams, students have enough concerns before even considering their finances,” says Mandy Mail, director of student banking at RBC Royal Bank. “The best way to ensure that student funds last for the entire school year is to create a plan early on, and stick to it all year long.” Mandy offers these tips on how to make your money last: • Create a realistic budget – Determine how much money is available from all sources including loans, grants, and part-time and summer jobs. Set aside an amount for fixed costs such as tuition and rent, and establish a monthly budget for other expenses. The key to a successful budget is to make it realistic – if it is too strict it will be harder to stick to it. • Plan for social spending – Discretion-

However, it is often overlooked,â&#x20AC;? says Arnprior fire prevention/protection officer Cory Nicholas. As students prepare to move into shared or rented accommodations to attend college or university, parents, guardians and students themselves should take an active role in finding a safe place to liv, he recommends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is essential for caregivers and students to talk about fire and life safety. Whether returning to school or leaving home for the first time, a discussion about good fire safety practices can help to ensure this exciting time in a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is not marred by a fire tragedy.â&#x20AC;? The fire deparment has issued the following list entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What every student should know to prevent fireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. 1. Look While You Cook: Stay in the kitchen when cooking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire, have a proper-fitting pot lid handy to slide over the pot and turn off the stove. Cooking requires constant attention. Distractions like televisions, cell phones, or computers can lead to a tragic cooking fire. 2. Candle With Care: If you use candles in your room or apartment, keep them away from anything that can burn and place them in a safe, sturdy holder with a glass shade or hurricane chimney. Place them where they cannot be knocked over and blow them out when leaving the room. 3. Keep An Eye On Excessive Drinkers: Alcohol is a common factor in many fire fatalities involving cooking and smoking. Be aware of roommates and friends who have been drinking excessively, especially if they are cooking or smoking. 4. Smoke Outside: Establish rules for smokers. If you permit smoking inside, use large, sturdy ashtrays that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easily tipped over. Ashtrays should be emptied into a metal container not the garbage can. Check around furniture cushions after people have been smoking,

especially if they have been drinking. 5. Use Electricity Wisely: Toasters, coffeemakers and microwaves should be plugged directly into an outlet. If you must use an extension cord, buy one that is the correct gauge for the appliance and has a CSA or ULC approval mark on the label. CSA or ULC approved power bars may be used for stereo equipment, computers and lights. 6. Clear the Clutter: Keep things that burn away from heat sources like stovetops, space heaters and electronic equipment. Tea towels and paper too close to burners can catch fire. Keep space heaters at least one metre away from bedding, furniture and curtains. 7. Working Smoke Alarms: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Law: Your room or apartment must have working smoke alarms. Test them monthly and notify the landlord immediately if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not working. Dead batteries must be replaced right away. Nuisance alarms can be avoided by making sure smoke alarms are not located too close to the kitchen or bathroom. Consider getting a smoke alarm with a hush feature. Smoke alarms should be checked after any extended absence such as Christmas break and reading week. Never tamper with or disable a smoke alarm. 8. Plan To Escape: Know two ways out of your room or apartment in case of fire. Identify all exits and make sure you can use them. If you live in a high-rise, familiarize yourself with the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire safety plan. If you discover fire, call the fire department from a safe location outside. 9. Be Equipped: To stay safe, all students should put together a package that includes a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm, a battery powered lantern or flashlight and radio, extra batteries and a CSA or ULC approved power bar. 10. Learn More: For more information about fire safety in student accommodations, contact the Arnprior Fire Department.

Work together to keep kids healthy (NC) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back-to-school time and for most parents, this brings concerns about keeping their kids healthy. Did you know that in Ontario, a dedicated group of registered nurses (RNs) work in Public Health specifically to focus on ways to keep our kids and the community in the best of health? Public health nurses are part of a network of RNs who provide highly skilled services and care. With their special training, these RNs work to provide a wide range of services and education from their public health units, and this includes work with our children on issues specific to them. Public health nurses point out that there is a strong connection between health and many environmental factors, so they teach kids about the practice of good health habits. In addition to running immunization clinics, offering counseling and sexual health programs for teenagers, public health nurses have exper-

tise when kids need help with speech, language, hearing or vision issues. Parents can access public health for assistance and counseling. Take a look, for example, at the Healthy Schools program which was initiated to ensure overall fitness, well-being and proper nutrition. By working with whole communities, public health nurses educate and counsel patients, monitor health trends and identify health factors specific to that location. They use their expertise to design and deliver health education campaigns and implement disease-prevention and screening activities to keep kids healthy. So as children go back to class, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know there are skilled and educated health advocates on our side. More information is available at www.ona. org/RNs. newscanada.com

Parade of colour Mural artists Labrona, left, and Drew Mosley unveil their larger-than-life mural creation along the Bank Street underpass in the Glebe on Aug. 21. The mural features people and animals marching together in a festive parade toward the downtown core. Mosley said the animals represent Ottawa’s unique connection to the natural world. The mural was developed as part of a city-province partnership to liven up the otherwise dreary infrastructure, which can be dark and unwelcoming. Another mural was recently completed on Carling Avenue.

Accessible baseball field comes true for boy with a dream Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Bryce Desrochers made his way around the four bases with so much joy, he couldn’t help but laugh the entire way around the ball diamond. The 12-year-old hit the first home run and made his way around the bases at the Miracle League field in Navan on Aug. 14 in his power wheelchair. Everything had finally come together for one crazy dream he had, a dream his family and community followed through on. Bryce was watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with his mother one night, and saw a boy on television go to a Miracle League field in his home town. The field had a rubberized surface, and no puddles or angry ruts for a wheelchair to get stuck in. This was baseball that Bryce, who has cerebral palsy, could actually play. “If he decides he wants to do something, we’re going to figure out how he can do it and where,” his mother Michelle said. “And when there isn’t a place? Well, let’s build one.” The family got in contact with the Orléans Rotary Club and Champions for Ottawa Baseball, and pitched the idea of Miracle League – an organization that works with communities to build custom-designed, rubberized turf fields and run leagues for players

with different physical and mental disabilities. “We saw people kicking up and doing things and saying yes, yes, yes, not no, no, no,” Michelle said. The Miracle League of Ottawa became its own nonprofit, and has fundraised to build the diamond on city donated land on Navan Road. “Over three years ago when we started this project, I had doubts,” Rolly, Bryce’s dad, said. “But as we started moving forward and made contact with David (Gourlay from the Champions for Ottawa Baseball), at that point, I really saw the dream start to really come forward. We reached out to the Rotarians, and from there, there was no looking back.” The Jays Care Foundation, a charitable branch of the Toronto Blue Jays, pitched in a significant amount - $210,000 – to see the project meet its fundraising goals. The group also received $25,000 through the Kraft Celebration Tour, when they were nominated as one of the top 10 community development projects in Canada. The city matched donations that came in to fund the project. Bryce, Rolly and Michelle were at the field on Aug. 14, to help the board of directors, sponsors, and community members officially open the field. When Bryce, assisted by Rolly, hit the very first pitch,

thrown by Blue Jays alumnus and Word Series winner Duane Ward, it meant the dream had officially become reality. “To be the first one to hit that ball, it just felt like it was really good,” Bryce said. “It feels really awesome.” The field, which will have an adaptive playground built next to it over the next year, will now host baseball leagues for players, including Bryce, many of whom have never had the chance to play the game. Stephanie Paravan was excited for her son Matthew, 8, who uses a wheelchair when she met the Desrochers family and heard about the field. Matthew was at the opening to play in the inaugural Miracle League of Ottawa game. “I think it’s amazing,” Paravan said. “Matthew is so excited, and I’m so excited that he has the opportunity to play baseball in a league just like the other kids.” Though the family lives in the Carlingwood area, “it’s worth the drive,” she said. Registration is now open for anyone who wants to play in the leagues at the field at online at miracleleagueofottawa.ca. The leagues are open to anyone and all ages with a physical or mental disability. “Bryce, you said if you say your dreams out loud, they can come true,” Rolly said, as he spoke prior to the ribbon cutting. “Here you have it son. We did it.”

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

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your mind is racing a mile a minute. Although it may be challenging, you have to find a way to slow down and focus on one thing for the time being. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, put some thought into your long-term financial goals. Planning now will help you realize your goals down the road. Don’t put off a meeting with your advisor. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you will get another crack at an opportunity that recently passed you by. Just be patient and prepare for the chance that awaits you in the near future. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You need to find ways to relax, Cancer. Schedule time to unwind, whether it is dancing, listening to music or practicing yoga. Make the most of your elevated energy levels. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have a lot on your plate at the moment, so shelve some immediate plans you had. Right now you don’t have the time to devote to them. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, continue to work hard and rewards will come to you in the professional arena. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed, and soon this will be made clear to you.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you are anxious to announce plans for a new chapter in your life. But you might want to table your enthusiasm for the time being until these plans are confirmed. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your ideas carry a lot of weight at your job and within your circle of friends, Scorpio. This week you may be called on to come up with a few new thoughts on getting things done. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, understand that others do not necessarily have your thick skin. Consider your words carefully before delivering some constructive criticism to a friend or loved one. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, your attention to detail can make your projects take much longer than others’, but that’s what separates you from the pack. If it’s worth doing, it is worth doing right. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Words come easily to you this week, Aquarius. It may be worth your while to negotiate a raise or debate an issue that has been bothering you lately. Your point of view will be heard. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you may know how someone close to you is feeling even before they confide in you. Your intuition is on fire this week. 0827
