Mayor’s Report

HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE CITY’S 2018 BUDGET By: Mayor Jim Watson

Last year, we worked with our City departments and staff and listened to residents through the budget consultation process in order to deliver a budget that keeps the City on a path of fiscal prudence while continuing to build a caring, sustainable, and prosperous city. We were able to accomplish this while keeping our 2% tax cap commitment, thus ensuring that Ottawa remains an affordable city for all.

To shed light on the budget process and how these decisions impact your individual property taxes, the City of Ottawa has developed innovative tools available in the Understanding Your City Budget section of www.Ottawa.ca. The tools include: How the City Budget Works: A short video that uses plain language and easy-to- understand graphics that outline the basics of how the City budget works.

Get Involved in the Budget Process - The City of Ottawa’s Budget Process Made Simple: A printable info-graphic that describes the budget and consultation process and highlights when and how residents can have their say.

City of Ottawa’s 2018 Budget Consultation Tool: An interactive online tool that provides you with the opportunity to play the role of politician or administrator and determine what areas of City services and programs require increases, decreases or status quo funding, and gives you the opportunity to provide comments. To show the impact of your decisions, the tool will also show how your changes will affect the budget rate and your individual property taxes. The tool will remain live until the budget is tabled on November 8, 2017.

These budget tools will help you better understand how your tax dollars are spent. Pre-budget consultations are also an opportunity to express your views on how property tax dollars will be used and to take part in the decisions City staff and Council are faced with when developing and approving the annual budget.

In addition to the online budget tools, residents may also offer budget input by sending an email directly to budget@ottawa.ca, by contacting your City Councillor or by tweeting @ottawacity using the hashtag #ottbudget.

Finally, I encourage residents to attend various Councillor-led 2018 Pre-budget public consultations that are taking place across our city in the month of October.

For a schedule of public consultations or to access the online consultation tools, visit www.ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/ budget-and-taxes/budget/budget-2018, and have your say in Budget 2018.

City making changes to long-term care

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

It’s a tough job dealing with some of our most vulnerable residents, but the city says it is doing what it can to improve care at the four municipally-run long-term care homes.

The oldest resident in the city’s homes is 109 years old, the youngest 43. Staff highlighted the differences, as well as the complex medical needs, in a report to the community and protective services committee on Sept. 21.

The committee heard the report as part of the response to a “direction” from the province following a string of events, which included covered up injuries and abuse at the Garry J. Armstrong home on Island Lodge Road.

The incidents resulted in a director referral order from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The order made a series of suggestions — including the supervision of non-regulated staff, such as support workers.

Among the complaints was a staff member punching a resident in the face.

There are 712 residents at the city’s four long-term care homes. Garry J. Armstrong is the subject of four complaints under the Long-Term Health Care Act subsection that deals with abuse and neglect.

There are 1,023 staff members for those homes. Residents could come in contact with as many as 15 staff daily and 468 of those staff members are personal support workers.

City manager Steve Kanellakos said that staff, along with council, had a visceral response to the incident.

“Many of us have parents in longterm care facilities,” he said. “That said, staff is accountable for the service and care in our homes.”

Among the fixes proposed by staff are an advisory group, made up of families of residents, staff, stakeholders and management. There was a feedback session held at the Carleton Lodge in Nepean on Sept. 20, with more than 100 attendees and 40 pages of comments. Janice Burelle, general manager of community and social services, said staff is going over the comments and stakeholder engagement will continue into October.

Dean Lett, head of long-term care for the city, said all mandatory training on abuse will be done by Dec. 1 for current employees.

The group has met weekly since midAugust when the order was issued, said Burelle.

There are also plans for mandatory training to be done annually on things like infection control and abuse. All staff must follow residents’ care plans 100 per cent of the time. Not following can constitute abuse — especially if it’s things like a late meal or a missed dose of medication.

Jamie Dunn, executive director for the Civic Institute Professional Personnel, the union that represents nurses who work in the homes, said members are overworked and underpaid, but attention to the issue over the summer has led to them being scapegoated.

“The finger pointing should stop and we should look for solutions,” he said.

Dunn said nurses are being assaulted at work and working without taking lunches or breaks.

“They’re often working later without being paid as well,” Dunn said.

Lett said he wanted to recognize that the city homes are lively, loving places, with activities that recognize different levels of cognition.

The issue of long-term care is com-

The items listed below, in addition to any other items previously scheduled, will be considered at this meeting which will be held in the Champlain Room, City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa.

plicated by the needs of the patients.

Seniors are going into care later in life, often with several diagnoses and many suffer from dementia.

Included in the report was information about satisfaction surveys completed by residents and their families. Last year, 95 per cent of respondents said they were satisfied with their home.

Shad Qadri, who chairs the board of health, asked about the ability of residents with cognitive impairment to properly complete a satisfaction survey.

River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington was concerned about the disconnect between the hours of care Ottawa provides and the province — as well as high scores on satisfaction surveys, paired with complaints of abuse by nursing staff.

“The comments from Mr. Dunn about overworked staff and the amount of resident care doesn’t mesh,” he said.

“What am I missing here? How can satisfaction be so high? Are you just not asking questions that get to the heart of it?”

DISBELIEF

Lett reiterated that the set of incidents shouldn’t tarnish the city’s care as a whole.

“I appreciate the reactions to this order and the disbelief that one of our staff would abuse a resident,” he said, adding the city was surprised to see three homes included in the order.

“The response was that inspectors felt there was a risk at the other facilities,” he said, adding any changes will be implemented across the board.

Adele Furrie, a member of the advisory board, commended the dedication See STANDARDS, page 3

of the members through a difficult period. Furrie said management should take responsibility for what happened in their home, but so should the ministry.

“The ministry should revisit the standard. Does it really reflect today’s reality?” she asked, adding residents

have more complex needs.

Furrie said the ministry should also look at the funding for personal support workers and whether they get paid adequately for their services.

The city provided $14.3 million toward long-term care last year, Burelle said.

Beverlee McIntosh, from the Ottawa Council on Women, said hours of care

provided to seniors in Ontario is among the nation’s lowest. The provincial average is 3.15 hours a day per resident. In Ottawa, that number is 2.56.

Committee chair Diane Deans asked if the hours of care provided by the city is enough; Burelle said staff is looking at the service delivery model to see if staffing levels could be brought up during peak times.

While Deans said staff have shown a “monumental effort” to deal with the problems, she thinks there needs to be a national strategy on long-term care.

knew what they wanted and they come prepared to make a clear ask.”

The 2.5 per cent tax increase cap, implemented by Mayor Jim Watson, is not necessarily in the best interest of the city or the residents, Wilkinson said.

By limiting the tax increase year over year, the city has fallen behind on maintaining much of its infrastructure, she said, citing a watermain break in south Ottawa in 2011, which caused a three-month outdoor watering ban in Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick.

“We didn’t have a tax increase … and they didn’t maintain the infrastructure,” Wilkinson said. “My feeling is we should be basing the taxes on what we need to do. Putting a limit on it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.”

There is a need to keep taxes “as low as we can,” she said, particularly with water and sewer rates rising, and added “I'm quite prepared to support an increase for specific things, especially if they are

City staff will give an overview of how the budget process works at the meeting, then residents will have the chance to discuss what they want to see implemented and “what they are prepared to do without,” said Wilkinson.

Social service needs, such as funding for community

resource centres, the cost of sports and recreation programs, and childcare subsidies are priorities often listed by residents, she said. Others include snow removal, maintenance of roads, light-rail to Kanata and the western extension of Campeau Drive.

“They affect people day to day,” she said.

Residents are also encouraged to submit their ideas online. Input can be send through email to budget@ ottawa.ca or by tweeting @ ottawacity using the hashtag #ottbudget.

“It doesn’t mean they’re going to get everything they want but everything will be looked at,” Wilkinson said.

Police to provide updates on violent crimes in north Kanata Continued from page 1

Three days later, two innocent bystanders were injured in a drive-by shooting in the Kanata Centrum, shortly after the bars closed at 2 a.m.

A minimum of 17 rounds were fired.

“Kanata North has one of the lowest crime rates in the entire city of Ottawa, almost no violent crimes in the past,” said Wilkinson. “(There’s) a few every once in a while – usually somebody beats somebody up in the street – but these ones are by far the most serious that we’ve had.”

Ottawa police, a Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator, and police board chair Eli El-Chantiry will attend the information meeting, said Wilkinson.

“We’re going to have some police there to explain what they can about the two incidents that happened – the invasion and the drive-by shooting – and what the impact is on the community,” she said. “It’s an opportunity to find out more. I want (residents) to know police take this very, very seriously.”

The drive-by shooting outside the Crazy Horse was likely a “one-off” event, Wilkinson said she was told by

VIOLENT CRIME LOW

In north Kanata, violent crime dropped by 35.1 per cent in 2016, according to the Ottawa police 2016 annual report. There were 64 instances of crimes against the person, as opposed to 96 in 2015.

In comparison, south Kanata saw violent crimes drop by 0.4 per cent (the number of crimes against the person remained at 153), while citywide it dropped 0.6 per cent, even though crimes against the person rose to 5,229, up slightly from 5,217 in 2015.

Wilkinson said there are a few Neighbourhood Watch programs in place throughout the ward, but she’d like to see more. “We need a couple of people who would say, ‘I would take it on.’”

police. In comparison, the home invasion was particularly troubling since it’s not known if the attack was random or targeted.

“Two people dressed up as construction workers in a community that is still under construction, so (residents) are used to seeing them in the neighbourhood,” she said. “They actually rang the bell; the woman opened up and they pushed her in and they had guns. They held her hostage while they searched the house, took two purses and left. She was not injured – scared to death, of course.

“That one really bothered me.”

Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the robbery and break-and-enter units, said in an earlier interview that police were investigating if the home was targeted.

“The occupant was actually expecting someone, she was actually expecting a contractor at the residence,” he said, declining to specify the contractor or company’s name.

A camera on the home’s porch captured images of the alleged suspects, which will hopefully make the case easier to solve, said Wilkinson.

How to manage kids’ allowance

T

here’s no magic bullet when it comes to doling out cash to kids. It’s a subject that comes up time and again among parents. As ages and stages change, the system of allowance that seemed to work for a while comes up empty.

As kids get older, they typically need more money for things, but with that cash comes responsibility.

“I don’t think you have to start giving allowance at three years old,” says Judith Cane, a money coach and financial planner in Ottawa.

“When it comes time for them to start paying for things of their own, then they need an allowance.”

Cane notes that, even before children are old enough to handle money on their own, they should be given the opportunity to learn some lessons around how finances work. Something as simple as taking young children to the grocery store and teaching them how to follow a list and compare prices is a great exercise. Giving kids a limit when buying back-to-school clothes can make a learning game out of money management.

Once kids get a little older and they’re starting to want spending money for collector cards, trips to the cinema or candy — from about age seven, depending on the child — that’s when a set weekly allowance can be introduced.

Cane disregards the long-held tradition of tying allowances to kids’ chores. It undermines that message that, as

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse a member of the family, kids should be helping out around the house.

Basic allowance, says Cane, should be used as a money management tool.

There’s no hard and fast rule on how much to give, but half the child’s age weekly is a decent rule of thumb. Extra allowance can be effectively used as an incentive for kid chores that go above and beyond, says Cane; things like mowing the lawn, cleaning out the garage, or painting the bathroom.

Once the money is given, parents necessarily have to dictate how it’s used. “But really the children should make their own decisions about how to use the money.”

She adds that some kids may “give” in other ways, such as through church or a civic organization, so dictating they donate money when they have so little to work with may be going overboard.

When it comes to saving, Cane doesn’t believe in kids saving just for the sake of having money in the bank.

“If they’re saving money, there should be a goal attached to it.”

This offers a better opportunity to teach about instant gratification of spending versus saving toward something long term. When it comes to things like school lunches, birthday parties and other social activities outside of a child’s weekly budget, it’s up to the parents to determine who pays.

My son recently announced he wants to buy lunch at the cafeteria weekly. I told him it would come out of his own pocket. Cane suggests a more moderate approach for those who may want to deal with it differently.

“If it’s two dollars, say, then maybe that’s what you can contribute over and above the weekly allowance once a week or a few times per month to help the child buy a lunch out. It’s a compromise.”

The allowance years are time-limited, suggests Cane, and should be seen as a basic income to help kids learn to manage their finances from middle childhood until they’re working teens.

“As soon as a teenager gets a job, that should mark the end of the basic allowance from parents,” says Cane.

Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan Information Session #2

Thursday, October 5, 2017 6:30 to 9 p.m. (drop-in anytime) Alexander Community Centre 960 Silver Street

You are invited to find out more about the Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan (CDP) study. The outcomes of the CDP will affect how the northern end of Merivale Road will look and function in the future.

The CDP study area affects land adjacent to Merivale Road between Caldwell Avenue and Carling Avenue.

The study generally includes creating guidelines for land use and urban design, review and possible changes to the current zoning of land on select properties (see notice below), consideration of a range of new economic development incentives and creation of a “complete street” design to improve walking, cycling and streetscape in the future.

At the session, city staff will have information available to answer your questions on the preliminary recommendations for the Community Design Plan. If you are unable to attend the session, you may review the information on the city’s website and provide your comments online.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the planner identified below before September 29, 2017.

Notice of Proposed Zoning By-Law Amendments In accordance with Section 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 3.(1) of Ontario Regulation 545/06, notice is hereby provided that a Zoning By-law Amendment proposal has been initiated by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa.

LAND SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Zoning By-Law Amendment proposal generally affects properties adjacent to Merivale Road between Caldwell Avenue and Carling Avenue including select properties on Merivale Road, Kirkwood Avenue, Chatelain Avenue, Shillington Avenue, Thames Street, Laperriere Avenue, Leaside Avenue and Anna Avenue.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments (ZBLA) is to implement the land use and urban design components of the proposed new Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed ZBLA. The main effects of the proposed ZBLA are to rezone select properties from existing residential and institutional zones to the Traditional Mainstreet (TM) zone, generally with exceptions that continue to permit uses from the existing zones but that in certain locations permit new non-residential uses under the TM zone only if properties are assembled and any new development fronts on Merivale Road, and to correct anomalies where the boundaries between different zones do not follow adjacent property lines.

OPINION

Get elder care right

T

he city is taking a long, hard look at its operation of long-term care homes.

But the province and the federal government need to carry out a similar review if things are going to get better, not worse.

The city’s review was prompted by a series of incidents, including a long-term care resident being punched.

There’s no doubt the municipal government wants to ensure that doesn’t happen again. The will is there to fix problems.

Part of the response has been the formation of an advisory group – one that includes the families of residents. Families are rightfully concerned, just witness the 40 pages of comments that were collected at one feedback session at Carleton Lodge in south Nepean.

The union which represents nurses in the city’s homes says staff are overworked. That’s supported by the statistics – Ontario has the lowest number of staff hours per resident.

Then consider that Ottawa’s homes have even

fewer hours per resident than the Ontario average.

What’s clearly lacking is funding, and not just here, but across the country.

The city, province and federal government know demand is increasing and will only grow in the coming decades. Canada needs to ramp up now.

Failing to act when a problem is entirely predictable is the definition of negligence.

Our governments need a strategy to hire the best people we can, train them well and pay them well. They will be part of our future.

We need more spaces in publicly funded seniors care, and more staff to provide the care. It is far less expensive, and far more suitable for the elderly, to care for them in long-term care facilities than in our hospitals.

And beyond the dollars and cents issue, there’s a moral question only government action can answer. Taking good care of those most in need is the right thing to do.

Tighten the rules but don’t close the door on sales

Y

ou don’t hear it so often any more, but when it comes, the sound is comforting – a gentle bell tolling on your street.

That would be the sharpener’s truck and you can hear it far enough away so that you have time to collect the knives, scissors, and even your push lawn mower, if you still have one, and get out to the street.

This is door-to-door selling at its best. Door-to-door selling at its worst is being addressed by the provincial legislature. This comes after thousands of complaints about homeowners being duped into signing lucrative contracts involving heating, air conditioning, water softening and the like. The sums of money involved have often been substantial.

In days past, it was often assumed that such fraud was mainly perpe-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town trated upon the confused and the elderly. But that’s no longer the case.

Many young people have even been fooled. The door-to-door salespeople are well-dressed, personable and persuasive. They wear official-looking name tags and carry official-looking credentials.

And you don’t have to be old and/or confused to be ill-informed about the specifics of your heating or cooling plan. In today’s fragmented energy market, it’s hard for people to remember which company they’re dealing with and on what terms.

I bet you’ve at least come close to

signing one of those things. If you’re lucky you might have stalled long enough to Google the operation and find out if it’s on the up-and-up.

Someone on the radio was talking about this the other day – about how much of even the legitimate economy is based on deception, how too much of what we pay to companies is based on charges we were not aware of. The banking industry’s hidden charges are a classic example.

Then there are the airlines. The advertised cost of a ticket rarely resembles what we wind up paying after all of the extra charges are added in – especially if we want to check baggage or sit in a decent seat. Consider also the various surprises that await us when we use our phones and our internet. Roaming charges – sure, all of that stuff is in the fine print, but nobody reads it, nor should they be expected to.

The sharpener comes down your street, he tells you how much per knife, how much to do the scissors, and that’s it.

It’s not clear yet how far Ontario will go. But it appears that the legislation will permit door-to-door contact only if the homeowner initiates the contact. That’s a big step ahead, assuming that the legislators do not tack on a lengthy list of exceptions.

As you will remember, that happened when the do-not-call registry was set up. We still get a lot of calls.

Different people have a different tolerance for those who ring the bell.

Some people are fine with those who offer a service – sealing the driveway, washing the windows. Those are fairly straightforward pitches, easy to say no to.

Although it’s sad to have to say this, most of us need to become more savvy consumers.

Early years programming gets provincial boost

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan to ramp up the Ontario Early Years and Family Centre programming, and reduce the wait-lists for things like play groups, was approved by the city’s community and protective services committee on Sept. 21.

The province is merging four publicly funded Early Years programs into a unified system called the Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centre.

The move came with a $6.7-million cash infusion in 2017, and $9.6 million slated for 2018.

There are 99 locations across the city, which offer services such as play groups and first word screening. They serve 27,000 children a year.

Now that the city is in charge of running the provincially funded service, they have to conduct a needs assessment of local programs.

According to the staff report, the city has mapped services — including those for francophones and the Indigenous.

According to the numbers, the play groups are the most used, and perceived as most important by parents. Another element of the report was that francophone parents expressed

disappointment with bilingual programs — saying there’s too much of an anglophone focus.

They’d prefer French programming be run by French organizations.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum said he’s glad to see services will match the need.

“Looking at the numbers, 57 per cent of children in Overbrook are living in low-income households,” he said.

The city received the new funding guidelines for programs in July and will offer a one-year transition for 2018. During that time, programs will have their funding extended as the city analyzes the data about needs, holds discussions with stakeholders and puts policy into place.

Committee chair Diane Deans wanted to know when families would start seeing new daycare subsidies. The answer was that daycare subsidies are a separate program.

“There’s a lot of work to do in this transition year,” Deans said. “But it’s good news the province has provided more money for early years.”

LETTER

Thank you for good deed To the editor,

A huge thank you to the kind young man who took the time and made the effort to pick up my son’s lost wallet and the contents that were strewn across the road.

Then you went one step further and drove it all to our house and would not accept a reward. You found the wallet on Thursday, Sept.

7 on Terry Fox near Hazeldean and were driving what looked like a yellow Jeep Wrangler. I wish I had got your name.

I have told this feel good story to many people. Your kindness and honesty are appreciated and as I told you we will pay your good deed forward. I hope somehow this message reaches you. Thank you.

City Councillor, Kanata North Kanata Expo 55+ – I would like to thank everyone who joined me at Kanata Expo 55+, the exhibitors, special guests and participants.

Thanks also to our sponsors - The Courtyards at Eagleson, Punjabi Seniors, and Tim Hortons for refreshments, Chartwell for take away bags and the providers of more than 20 door prizes for this successful event.

PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY - Public Meeting with Ottawa Police, October 2nd, 7 pm at the Mlacak Centre - Kanata North is an area with a low crime rate and safe friendly communities. Hence, I was deeply concerned by recent incidents involving a drive-by shooting and home invasion. It is important to discuss this openly in the community and be proactive in finding resolutions. At this meeting representatives from Ottawa Police and the Chair of the Police Board will let us know how we can participate and support the police in enhancing community safety. Join me to have your questions answered and find out what you can do to keep our communities safe!

UNVEILING OF THE RICHARDSON HERITAGE PARK - I was very pleased to participate, with four generations of the Richardson family, at the unveiling of a plaque at the Richardson Heritage Park, which is located on land formerly part of the Richardson Family farm. Celebrating the rich history of March Township, later the City of Kanata, provides an important link to those pioneers who settled here. It was also a pleasure to support the heritage designation of the original stone farmhouse and to see it being used within the subdivision.

LRT PUBLIC CONSULTATION – I have been briefed on the progress on the Environmental Assessment for LRT from Moodie to the Canadian Tire Place. Work is progressing and at this time the preferred route will approximate the previously approved Bus Rapid Transit route along the 417 and then across to Canadian Tire Place.

Further investigation is needed on connections to bus routes and possibly extending LRT even further. A public open house will be held around the end of November. I’ll provide the date and place as soon as it is available and urge you to attend to provide your views on the route, possible staging and approximate costing that will be available at that time.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES - Trees have been removed and rock excavation started at the construction site for two new apartment buildings on Maritime Way. Blasting information is available on my website under the development menu titled Blasting. With much of Kanata North being located on an outlier of the Canadian Shield, one of the hardest rock in the world, blasting is often required. This is done during daylight hours under strict provincial regulations.

ALL THAT GLAM FUNDRAISER - Do you have any gently used jewelry or handbags to donate to help fund breakfast programs in Nunavut? Please drop them off at my ward office in the Mlacak Centre, Wednesday and Fridays from 9 am to 3 pm.

Seniors council gets infusion of new directors

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Seniors Council has been infused with new blood after six new members were named to the board of directors.

The board was acclaimed during the council’s annual general meeting, held Sept.

11. With 13 members now in place, the council hopes to increase its programming in the coming year, said board member John Kern.

“With the new directors we’re hoping in next year’s agenda to move forward and get into some of the areas that we weren’t able to this year.”

The board had fallen to its minimum number of 10 directors over 2016-17, and had cautioned that without new board members, it would have to continue to cut some of its programming. It also faced difficulties recruiting volunteers for its Council Café and

computer classes, which were both in danger of closing.

After putting a call for help out to the community, the council is now on a path of growth, said Kern, adding there will be a renewed focus

instructors who put in 275 volunteer hours, the council provided 233 technology lessons and five computer seminars.

• The council hosted 17 trips and three travel presentations, which drew 415 participants.

“We’re hoping in next year’s agenda to move forward and get into some of the areas that we weren’t able to this year.”

JOHN KERN, BOARD MEMBER

on community outreach and communications. The council will also bring back the popular Retirement Living Fair, which was not held in 2016.

Even with the challenges it faced over the past year, the council saw many participation numbers rise: • More than 11,500 people visited the Council Café, where volunteers put in 5,410 volunteer hours.

• Thanks to new volunteer

Volunteers gave 976 hours to the travel program.

• The annual Far West Fun Fest saw 141 seniors take part, down slightly from 145 the previous year.

• Other highlights included assisting the city’s older adult advisory committee, growing its social media use and increasing its number of sponsors for events.

Based on today’s minimum wage, almost $100,000 worth of work was performed by volunteers, said Kern.

“We worked approximately 8,500 hours over the period and that totalled out to approximately almost $100,000 in equivalent (wages) if we had to pay for it in cash,” he said.

“I think the council had

a fantastic year and we are looking forward with the new directors to get into more areas and even increase the numbers for next year.”

Exhibit offers reflections on the late artist John Mlacak Never before seen works on display Sept. 30 to Oct. 16

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Koyman Galleries will host an exhibit of John Mlacak’s work, some completed shortly before his death three years ago. The showing runs from Sept. 30 to Oct. 16. Pictured is an oil on canvas by Mlacak, titled ‘Chute du Diable.’

CENTURY IS WHERE COLOUR BECOMES AN EXPERIENCE. ™

Some never-before-seen works by the late artist John Mlacak will be on display at an Ottawa art gallery.

Koyman Galleries, in the city’s east end, will display around 30 of Mlacak’s oil paintings — from the very small to the very large — in an exhibit titled Reflections, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 16.

The former March township reeve, who died in Sept. 2014, always had new art work on the go and was often working on two- to three-dozen at a time, said his widow Beth Mlacak.

“There’s going to be (paintings) for people who think they’ve seen everything, that they have never seen before,” she said.

After his death, Koyman Galleries stored the entirety of Mlacak’s work and hosted a retrospective in 2015.

“It was so successful on many levels; it was very well attended, but even more so, the exhibition sold many pieces that showed that his work really moved many people,” said gal-

lery manager Eddie Baroud.

“We decided to show his work again, new pieces that had never been displayed before.

One reason was to show clients his vast array of works that he painted, as well as to meet the demand for his work.”

Mlacak always had time for anyone who wanted to speak with him and often showed up at the gallery with treats in hand.

“John’s connection in the community was pretty amazing. He was well-liked by many and had an amazing reputation in the art community,” said Baroud. “He was a very patient and generous man; patient, to discuss his work any time and tell his stories about the composition and the location of his subject matters.”

Mlacak most enjoyed capturing Canadian landscapes with his brush, particularly when fall colours met early snow.

“He just loved that — the wonderful golds and reds popping through the snow,” said Beth. “It’s hard to look at his paintings and not see how much he loved (Canada), how much the country had to offer in terms of beauty. You can just see he brought it forward.”

Many scenes in his works are recognizable — trees along the Old Carp Road, a garden in the Glebe, and a lake in the Gatineau Hills. Other paintings take

the viewer on a trip to far-flung destinations such as France and Italy.

“He painted scenes and places that people felt a connection to. And if they didn’t know the location, his paintings took you there,” said Baroud.

“He achieved what he was trying to do.”

Aside from his oil paintings, Mlacak was well known for his community activism and 11year political career, and is considered one of Kanata’s founding fathers.

He continued to advocate for his Beaverbrook community leading up to his death, pushing back against proposed intensification and developments that didn’t fit the vision.

An elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists and the Ontario Society of Artists, Mlacak’s artistic career spanned more than three decades.

“John is pretty well-known in Ottawa. He has a very loyal and fond following,” said Beth, who will be at the exhibit on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1.

“It’s very gratifying for me to see it so professionally displayed — that’s what any artist would wish for. It’s really wonderful.”

Koyman Galleries is located at 1771 St. Laurent Blvd. For more information, visit koymangalleries.com or call 613526-1562.

Tax Changes – Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace This is a call to action for every member of our community to speak up against the proposed federal tax changes and encourage others to do the same. Our government has proposed the most radical business tax overhaul in 50 years. This announcement came on July 18, 2017 with only 75 days of consultation which ends on October 2, 2017. The main concerns of our Canadian controlled private corporations, include (1) a new tax (effectively 73%) on investment income in a corporation, (2) a much higher tax rate for compensation in a family business deemed “unreasonable,” and (3) new, tougher rules for converting income to capital gains.

The timing and delivery of the proposed changes indicates a determination by the government to move forward despite desperate requests from Chambers of Commerce, business associations and business leaders across the country to slow down the process. A change of this magnitude demands adequate time and consultation in order to assess the many unintended consequences. The legislation in its current form will result in adversely impacting our economy and creating unfairness in our system. It is not just business owners who will pay the price, it will be all of us.

That is why it is imperative we raise our voice on this issue. These changes are directly and immediately damaging to businesses that form the backbone of many Canadian communities. We know between 85-90 per cent of businesses in Canada are small and medium-sized and nearly 50% (1,297,000) of (2,825,300) self-employed Canadians head businesses that are incorporated (either with or without paid help). Incorporated companies are not only large - they are small too!

If you are not a business owner, someone close to you is or relies on independent business for their livelihood. Business owners have been structuring their businesses and planning their futures on legitimate tax strategies that have been refined and tested over decades. These are not loopholes. These tax planning strategies were established many years ago, to encourage the growth, innovation and entrepreneurship and to compensate small business owners for the higher level of risk they undertake, compared to that of an employee. Our business owners have work hard, invest personal assets, call on friends and family to help, support the families of their employees and contribute to their communities.

Now they are being positioned as “tax evaders” and we are all being told we do not understand. We understand. This proposal is outrageous. No other country has tried to impose such punitive tax measures on small business. Legitimate SMEs will be swept up by changes to catch a few bad apples. Does that seem reasonable?

What can you do?

Please voice your concern and spread the word. Let your networks and neighbors know that this is not a business issue. It is an economic issue that will impact every Canadian.

Please call or write your MP. Ask for justification for this tax overhaul and ask if they have assessed the real economic impact of this legislation.

Please share your story – if you are a business owner, let your MP, your Chamber and others know how the proposed tax changes will affect their business.

Cheers to your success!

I NEED TO MAKE THE TIME

Ottawa Public Library staff will now ask patrons viewing explicit online content to stop if complaints are made. The policy refresh comes on the heels of an incident at the Greenboro branch where two girls saw a man viewing graphic pornography on a public computer in a high-traffic area.

Stricter Ottawa library porn policy doesn’t go far enough, councillor says While patrons of the Ottawa Public Library who view explicit content on branch computers will now be asked to stop if complaints are made, the policy update could go further to prohibit the viewing of sexually explicit material.

“Patrons of all ages use the public library and sexually explicit material is not something that should be viewed in a public place, and that should just be a matter of policy,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, though she acknowledged the policy change is “better” and “a step

in the right direction.”

Her ward office is based at the Greenboro Community Centre where the Greenboro library branch is located.

That’s where two girls saw a man viewing graphic pornography on a public computer in a high-traffic area earlier this summer.

The girls’ mother said she was told staff don’t restrict patrons from accessing legal internet content.

Following the incident, Danielle McDonald, chief executive of the Ottawa Public Library, sent an email to city councillors explaining “it is a fundamental tenet of a public library to uphold access to

information without censorship.”

The refreshed policy, made official Sept. 19, is now in line with what libraries in many other Canadian cities, such as Vancouver, Hamilton, Calgary and Gatineau, have adopted, said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, chair of the Ottawa Public Library board.

“Staff now have that tool in their tool box to walk over, based on a complaint, and say, ‘Turn it off,’” he said, adding this applies to all blatantly offensive material and not just pornography.

I am too busy. I do not have the time for this.

I work, I exercise and I spend time with my family and friends. I do not want to talk about this. My husband and I still have so much time ahead of us.

However, thinking about what our neighbours went through, having to figure it all out, without knowing what her father wanted. Her mother was not up to it and her siblings were all over Canada. I could not imagine the stress of it all. I tried to help, brought over food, sent flowers and spent some time with her. I felt helpless, that I could not do more. She must have felt so alone.

I do not want to put my kids through that. I know I do not have a lot of spare time but I need to do this.

I need to make the time; make sure that everything is prepared and ready for my kids.

Policy equals many Canadian cities: board chair considered offensive in a public setting.

“This could be content that is graphically violent, overtly sexual, or that contains threatening language, to provide a few examples,” the statement reads.

“And, if this occurs, our practice will be to ask people to turn it off or shut it down.”

The policy was updated following discussions Tierney had with library staff, his fellow councillors, library board members and residents, and following questions he posed to councillors in other jurisdictions.

Continued from page 17

“The previous policy was to accommodate and say, ‘We’ll just shift you over out of sight.’

That wasn’t holding water in my mind.”

In an emailed statement sent to Metroland Media, the Ottawa Public Library said, “Our policy has always been to respect the sensibilities of others.

The main refinement is that we will amend our policy to request that customers refrain from displaying content (text or images) that may be reasonably

“The consensus was pretty straightforward,” he said. “And if we’re able to make ourselves on par with other library systems across the country, where they have this policy, it behooves us to do it.”

The solution is not as simple as putting up a firewall on the library’s computer networks to block unauthorized access.

“I have an IT background.

You can get around any firewall with pornography. There’s only so much you can do,” Tierney said. “I think we’ve struck the perfect balance between integral freedoms as well as making sure that our clientele feel a level of comfort — if they see something wrong that they can report it and it will be addressed.”

Tierney did not respond to

a subsequent request to speak about why an outright ban on the viewing of explicit online material was not enacted.

A 2015 third-party review of the library’s practices found it uses more filters than most public libraries in Canada, McDonald said in her email to councillors.

Filters are in place for illegal materials, such as child pornography.

“Since implementation of our tools and policies in 2015, the OPL has seen a significant reduction in the number of reported incidents of customers viewing what may be considered inappropriate content,” McDonald wrote.

“Specifically, we have gone from 15 incidents (in 2015) to

three (so far) in 2017.”

Deans said she too supports intellectual freedom and is not suggesting that filters be put in place to restrict access to information, and shared her views in a letter she wrote Sept. 14 to Tierney and McDonald in response to the Greenboro incident and McDonald’s initial explanation.

However, a stronger policy “would send a clear message to library patrons that their public library is not only a place that protects and supports intellectual freedom, but it is also a place that values the safety and security of its clients at all ages,” Deans wrote.

“While I too support intellectual freedom and appreciate that OPL is not in the business of censorship, I do not consider the viewing of pornography as being an appropriate activity in

a public place.”

Given the transition toward a more high-tech environment within the library system over the last two to three decades, it’s only natural that policies be updated to reflect that changing environment, said Tierney.

“Do I think this is the last evolution of the policy? No,” he said. “There will be a new technology or there will be something new offered in the library that will force us to review it, and it should be part of a standard review process.”

Though now official, the policy update won’t be instant given the size of Ottawa’s library system, which has 33 branches and 650 staff members.

“It does take a bit of time for the policies to trickle through the system,” Tierney said. “But they’re anxiously moving ahead with it.”

KANATA ART CLUB

The Kanata Art Club held its annual general meeting last week after a summertime break.

Its regular monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month.

The AGM agenda recounted a good year with increased membership, well attended studios, classes and workshops and informative and fun monthly meetings with interesting speakers.

After the business meeting the club undertook its first fundraiser – a silent auction in honour of Kathy Prystasz, a club member and volunteer who recently passed away. All of the materials auctioned were donated by her family. It was a fun event and very successful, bringing in approximately $900, which will be donated to the Ottawa Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The club regularly offers classes, studios and workshops using various mediums. The Annual Christmas Hundred and Under Sale will take place Nov. 25 and 26 at the KAC studio, 630 Cameron Harvey Dr., in Dunrobin. And a members show is scheduled to take place at the Kanata Legion Hall, 70 Hines Rd. on May 4 and 5, 2018.

Members also routinely showcase their art at two different venues: St.Paul’s Anglican Church, Young Road, and at the Eva James Memorial Community Center on Stonehaven Drive in Bridlewood.

To learn more about the KAC, visit www.kac1.ca.

The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit arrested a 20-year-old man and charged him with eight offences after an off-duty officer spotted the young man with a gun while arguing with two other males in Kanata west.

Every summer the Ottawa Senators Foundation sends more than 1,200 deserving kids to summer camp. A place where kids have an opportunity to make new friends, to learn about teamwork, leadership and fair play. A place where kids learn about themselves and build self-confidence. The Ottawa Senators Foundation believes that all kids deserve an opportunity to experience the many benefits of camp.

“None of that follows them,� says Warden. “They’re able to be their own person and understand that they’re welcome no matter what.�

Meet Rosie Warden.

Warden says new kids often arrive at Camp Smitty uncertain about what’s in store.

Young ones arriving for the first time can be shy, tentative.

Older kids in the throes of adolescence can act like they’re too cool to go to camp.

Here’s an example from Camp Smitty, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa camp in Eaganville, Ont.

The greatest thing about summer camp is its ability to unburden campers of their baggage and allow them to see the potential in themselves and the possibilities life can offer.

For three epic sessions of 10 nights each summer, kids from underprivileged families, broken homes and troubled circumstances leave their woes behind and venture into the unknown surrounded by other kids from similar circumstances.

It’s a diverse group, but you wouldn’t know it by about day two.

“Everyone is from the same place when you come to camp,� says Rosie Warden, manager of Outdoor Education and Youth Leadership for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

They might be struggling in school or have behavioural issues or family problems. At Camp Smitty, kids come and be comfortable with who they are.

“Behind every man there are great women!�

The camp benefits from the support of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which provides funding for the one in five Ottawa-area children who don’t have access to after-school sports, recreation or social activities.

Since 2015, the foundation, has enabled more than 4,000 kids, ages four to 17, from 50 communities across the region to go to camps like Smitty.

“By the last day they can’t wait to come back next year.�

“A lot of what the kids do is actually stuff they never get to do in the city,� says Warden, citing activities like swimming off a beach, sleeping in a cabin, tenting and hiking. “The kids can just come and be comfortable with who they are.�

Athlete plans to compete in more sports at next world games Continued from page 26

Jason, Jayda’s father, said the entire experience was one he won’t forget.

“It was pretty wild, it was pretty emotional,” he said. “It was just so nice to see all the kids on an equal playing field.”

The Games were the first time Jayda had played on a formal team, although she does get some hockey practice in at home.

“I like it a lot because I play it downstairs with my sister, my dad and my brother,” said the Grade 5 student, who attends St. Martin de Porres in Glen Cairn.

She also competed in soccer, track and field and boccia at the Games. She wants to add badminton and possibly swimming to her list of competitive sports for the next World Dwarf Games, set for 2021.

“I hope it’s in Germany,” Jayda said, adding she will continue to compete at future events.

Submitted

Sarah Cave (left), from Whitehorse, and Kanata’s Jayda Boldt returned from the 2017 World Dwarf Games with a gold medal in floor hockey.

Games ran Aug. 4 to 12.

Competitive events included badminton, track and field, boccia, swimming, soccer, basketball, powerlifting, table tennis, floor hockey, volleyball, archery and marksmanship.

Canadian athletes brought home 105 medals from the 2017 Games, third in total rankings out of 19 countries.

Canada finished with 41 gold, 39 silver and 25 bronze medals.

Fall ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

Yard maintenance: a short guide to those fall chores Summer vacation is a thing of the past and a few tidy-up jobs are waiting for you in the yard. That’s right; your yard is in great need of some TLC at this time of year.

TAKE A WALK IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

After you’ve harvested your delicious homegrown vegetables, all the weeds and pests have to be removed from your vegetable plot.

This is also the time to take stock and plan for next year.

Evaluate the performance of

your garden and take note of any problems you experienced during the growing season (insects, diseases, plants too close together, etc.).

This will help you correct things next time around. If you didn’t take note of the location of your various vegetables when you sowed them, you should do so now.

That way, you can rotate your crop next summer. And if you want to enjoy garlic next year, now’s the time to plant your bulbs. ...AND AROUND THE FLOWER BEDS

Dig up weeds, as well as any annuals that have been damaged by the first frosts. Trim the stems of plants susceptible to disease and the foliage of perennials.

Fall is also the ideal time to test your soil and amend it where necessary. Divide your perennials and plant spring bulbs.

Non-hardy bulbs should be dug up after the first frost.

Leave them to dry and then remove the excess soil before storing them in a cool, dry, dark place for replanting next year.

TAKE CARE OF THE LAWN

This is definitely not the time to sit back and relax as Spoiling your lawn all sumfar as your flowerbeds are con- mer is not enough for it to stay cerned. In fact, a good clea- beautiful and healthy. ning up is required.

Fall is the time to reseed

bare spots, aerate the soil, add compost and spread a potassium-rich natural fertilizer.

You should also remove any dead leaves, as a thick carpet of leaf debris deprives the grass of light and may cause it to die off. Shred the leaves and compost them, or let them decompose on the ground.

In October, you should also mow the lawn for the last time, being sure to leave it at a height of five centimeters so it will be protected from temperature changes.

CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THE DECK

Cool fall days are perfect for doing maintenance work on your deck. Remove any weeds and debris stuck between the planks and steps of the deck

and then repair or replace damaged planks and wobbly posts.

You should also sand any rough spots that may cause splinters and fill cracks with wood putty. A thorough cleaning is also a good idea. Use a pressure washer (on the lowest setting to avoid damaging the surface) and a cleaning product that’s suitable for your type

of wood.

Then treat or stain your deck so it stays beautiful for as long as possible.

Raking up fallen leaves; cutting back perennials; mowing the lawn for the last time and maintaining the deck: there is a lot to do in the yard once fall arrives.

Are you ready for this final blitz before winter arrives?

Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review I had the pleasure of volunteering again at this year’s Bruyere Telethon and would like to thank all those who donated. The one-day event raised $259,098 in support of the Bruyere Foundation. Thank you!

Cruise Night for CHEO Many of you are familiar with the Tuesday night gathering of vintage vehicles that come to the Hazeldean Mall in the summer months. This event is called Kanata Cruise Night and has become a well-loved summer tradition for many in the community.

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of Kanata Cruise Night and the 20th year that Roger and Karen Thomas have been organizing this community event. Roger and Karen have decided to step down as organizers of Cruise Night and I would like to thank them both very much for all the hard work and effort that went into making this event such a success every week.

Kanata Cruise Night was the first event of this type in the region to develop into a fundraising event, with all proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Over the past 20 years, $200,000 has been generously donated to CHEO through fundraising efforts of those involved with this event.

Thank you again to Roger and Karen for all you’ve done to help grow this event and give back to your community and while you may no longer be organizing Kanata Cruise Nights, we know you’ll pop by for a visit and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday’s evenings next summer!

Financial plan could spell increases in water rates JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city needs $2.6 billion over 10 years to deal with capital investment in our water infrastructure, and the bill could be handed to residents.

Following a rejig of the water and stormwater fee structure — a contentious issue for rural residents passed less than a year ago — staff presented a report to the city’s environment committee on Sept. 19. The committee ultimately decided to pass the buck to council — forwarding the report on with no recommendation.

Council approved the rate structure change last fall.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt called foul on the proposal, which asks for an increase in the revenue from stormwater to go up by as much as 13 per cent annually for the next decade.

West Carleton Coun. Eli ElChantiry echoed the sentiments of his council colleague, saying that residents were sold on a bill between $13 and $15 for the next four years.

“Now all of a sudden without consultation, we are talking about a substantial increase,” he said.

A consultation on the changes to the city’s rate structure held in West Carleton in March 2016 had to turn people away, because

the venue ran out of space.

“We took a lot of flak,” ElChantiry said of the rural councillors.

The stormwater fee was combined with the road tax before the city amalgamated in 2000, since rural areas were absorbed into the City of Ottawa, they hadn’t been paying for the upkeep.

El-Chantiry said he con-

vinced residents that they should pay their fair share, but the plan proposed in the report will only foster distrust of the city.

“And maybe it should,” ElChantiry said. “It seems like we got our foot inside the door and then immediately want to charge more.”

Deputy city treasurer Isabelle Jasmin said there are many

“moving parts” when it comes to the rate structure, and the needed increase in revenue doesn’t necessarily translate to higher rates. If there’s a housing boom, for example, the percentage increase would be shared by more homeowners — reducing the impact for the individual homeowner.

See EL-CHANTIRY, page 31

El-Chantiry says he won’t support a budget that includes an increase to stormwater fee Continued from page 30

The city has 8,500 kilometres of stormwater, water and sanitary pipes. There are 92 pump stations and 5,800 culverts. There’s also the Lemieux Island and Britannia water treatment facilities.

According to the capital asset management report, which was also presented to the committee, 93 per cent of city assets are in fair to very good condition.

The infrastructure that needs repairs is triaged according to need, based on the city’s risk-based approach.

“I know you’re saying that a 13 per cent increase won’t equal to dollars, but I can’t vote in favour and say, ‘It should be OK,’” Moffatt said. “The report takes a new fee and immediately doubles it.”

Moffatt took some heat from residents for voting in favour of the rate structure changes, and blasted staff for not informing councillors about the numbers in the long-range financial plan.

“I had to find out that storm water fees could increase by 270 per cent over

the next 10 years from someone who came to my booth at the Richmond Fair,” Moffatt said.

Jasmin said staff followed protocols, and the rate review and long-range plan are two separate items.

Committee chair David Chernushenko cautioned Moffatt against “exciting” residents with the cumulative increases over a 10-year period. The increase for 2018 would be 13 per cent.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said he has some neighbourhoods in his ward that are neither “fish, nor fowl,” referring to areas like Pine Glen where they aren’t rural, but are privately serviced.

He said he’s concerned about not having the information on a dollar amount for residents.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli also wanted more information for residents.

Chiarelli took issue with the staff estimates on funding needs, wondering how we got to the point where we need increases of that nature annually.

Water rates have been steadily rising since 2011.

Chiarelli said there’s a

public perception that water rate relates to consumption, but 90 per cent of the city’s costs are fixed.

“The public needs to know the rate increase is to get more money to pay down the deficit,” he said.

On a positive note, ElChantiry said there’s a meeting planned between Mayor

Jim Watson and some of the rural councillors.

“Hopefully we can take that part out,” El-Chantiry said of the planned increases for the stormwater fee. “I won’t vote for it with that included. Or a budget that has that in it.”

Council will receive the report on Sept. 27.

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

My friend and I have an idea for a business and we are considering forming a partnership. How does a partnership work and how should one be setup?

Whether a partnership exists is a fundamentally a legal question. Ontario’s Partnerships Act says that a relationship between “persons carrying on a business in common with a view to profit” is a partnership within the meaning of the Act. This is important because it means that whether you declare yourself to be a partnership, legally speaking, you might be a partnership anyways, whether you intended to or not.

A partnership can exist between you and your friend personally, or even as between two corporations controlled by each of you. Unlike a corporation, however, a partnership has no separate legal existence from the partners themselves and each partner has the power to bind the partnership and each partner is jointly liable for any obligations incurred on behalf of the firm. The joint liability risk may be wholly or partially mitigated through insurance, but in some About Allan Snelling

situations, should lead to you to consider the liability protection provided by incorporation.

A partnership agreement is highly recommended.

A partnership agreement sets out the rights and obligations for partners in the partnership and provides for what should happen in circumstances of partnership incapacity, retirement or death. Without one, the Partnerships Act will provide for what happens to the partnership in these circumstances, sometimes with undesirable results. A partnership agreement can also provide mechanisms for the distribution of partnership income and a process for bringing additional persons into the partnership or their expulsion. Creating a partnership agreement that meets your goals with the help of a business lawyer ensures that your partnership will continue in a manner of your design.

‘Killer’ wall will bring back memories for Ottawa 67’s fans

BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Brian “Killer” Kilrea dominates Ottawa’s junior hockey history, so it’s only fitting that his image now dominates TD Place arena.

The Ottawa 67’s unveiled the Brian Kilrea Legacy Wall on Sept. 21, featuring massive panels that mark milestones during the team’s 50 years, and features the images of a number of standout players and their long-time coach.

Kilrea was on hand for the unveiling and his first glimpse of the wall. He walked along the panels with former 67’s forward Brendan Bell and team governor Jeff Hunt, pointing See TEAM, page 35

out the players and his memories of past seasons.

“That’s the first one – that’s the toughest one,” he said of a panel bearing a photo of the Memorial Cup in 1984.

The 67’s won a second Memorial Cup in 1999.

Kilrea retired from coaching in 2009 after 29 years behind the bench. Canada’s top junior hockey coach each year is presented with the Brian Kilrea Coach of the Year Award.

The legacy wall is located along the rink’s main concourse, where visitors and fans won’t be able to miss it.

Kilrea told a crowd gathered for the unveiling that he “had never really coached” before being asked to handle bench duties with the 67’s.

“It became second nature,” he said of coaching, and then, with more than a touch of understatement he pointed out, “I lasted.”

Hunt said the legacy wall concept evolved very quickly.

“We knew Brian Kilrea had to be integral to it,” Hunt said.

“It will be a gathering place for years to come.”

The team also announced that Brian Campbell’s no. 44 jersey will be retired at the Nov. 3 home game.

Campbell was part of the Memorial Cup championship team in 1999, and went on to become a four-time NHL allstar and won a Stanley Cup during his 17 professional seasons.

Campbell’s number will be raised to join those of Denis Potvin, Doug Wilson, Peter Lee and Bobby Smith.

The 67’s will mark their milestone season with a 50th anniversary logo, and throughout the season, the team will pay tribute to each decade of their history, from the Potvin era to today.

50TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON

With five games celebrating each decade of the team’s history, the 67’s will also celebrate the first-ever game in their home arena, then the Ottawa Civic Centre (now TD Place),

on Dec. 29.

Each commemorative game will pay tribute to the teams and players from that decade, featuring appearances by 67’s alumni.

The games include: • Oct. 20: celebration of 1977-87 • Nov. 10: celebration of 1987-97 • Dec. 29: inaugural game celebration • Jan. 27: celebration of 1997-2007 • Feb. 10: celebration of 2007-2017

Centrepointe Theatre will help mark Canada’s 150th birthday with a musical on the life of Sir John A. Macdonald. Rehearsals begin in early October with the premiere set for Nov. 2.

The musical will focus on the life of Canada’s first prime minister and all he did to help create the confederation of Canada.

According to the play’s writer, Gordon Carruth, the story will not only focus on the Scot’s accomplishments but also his downfalls, including his views on and actions affecting the Indigenous peoples of Canada.

The story will feature prominent incidents throughout Macdonald’s administration, from the Canadian Pacific Railway scandal, the murder of Thomas D’Arcy McGee to the trial of Louis Riel. The musical will weave together the good, the bad and the ugly Macdonald’s life, Carruth said.

“The prologue will feature a re-enactment of the Idle No More demonstration in Kingston on Sir John A. Macdonald’s birthday,” said Carruth. “It’ll be up to the audience to decide, father of Confederation or father of genocide?”

The musical will feature 25 new songs.

Maple Leaf Theatre Productions – the play’s production company – is unique, Carruth said, as one of the only theatre companies in the

The issue of Sir John A. Macdonald and his controversial actions have been a hot topic recently, with some calling for the removal of his name from schools. Carruth hopes his musical will shed light on the story of one of Canada’s more controversial leaders.

Carruth has written several other works which have been performed no only here in Canada but also in the United States and Europe.

‘We’re open’: Hein House now accepting residents

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Hein House, Hospice Care Ottawa’s residence in south Kanata, opened its doors on Sept. 25 and began accepting clients on Tuesday.

Staff, volunteers, politicians, and residents came out by the hundreds to tour the newlyconstructed wing of the RuddyShenkman Hospice. For Barbara Hein, widow of Roly Hein, it was a special day.

“I’m more than pleased with the final result,” she said, after cutting the ribbon to officially open the residence. “This is going to be a much-needed facility in the community.”

Hein House is named in memory of her husband, who died in 2013.

As the president of R.E. Hein Construction, Roly Hein volunteered his time and expertise to manage construction of the first phase of the hospice in the former Trinity Presbyterian Church

and assisted with fundraising on the Campaign Cabinet. After his passing, Barbara Hein made a large donation in his name for the residential wing.

“To pass away in a hospital is really not a compassionate way for someone to have their end-of-life journey, but with hospices there are so many compassionate volunteers that can really focus (on the client),” said Barbara.

“This way, someone can be offered a very lovely exit,” she said.

The building features spacious rooms, a large skylight, stonework, as well as British Columbia fir beams and Canadian cedar. Two fireplaces are the main features of the sitting areas in the front and back of the residence.

All of the 10 hospice suites, as well as the two respite rooms, have large glass doors wide enough to fit a bed through so residents can enjoy the grounds. More than 440 people toured the facility during its open house on Sept. 25.

“People who are maybe so afraid to leave their comfort zone at home, this might make a difference when they realize they can be in their bed and have such good care and family there and look out at gardens and waterfalls,” said in-home volunteer Margo Stansel, a Munster resident. “It’s amazing.

They’ve thought of everything. Every little detail, they’ve thought of.”

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Hurting our Doctors The tax changes being introduced by the federal government are going to hurt people across Canada. One specific group that will take a beating will be Canada’s doctors. The Prime Minister has attempted to demonize doctors as wealthy tax cheats who are paid too much. Why he would insult the people who carry out such vital services, I do not know.

CANADIAN TIRE SNOWSUIT FUND Margo Stansel, of Munster, has been volunteering with Hospice Care Ottawa for two years.

The fundraising campaign brought in more than $6 million to help build the residential wing. Construction began in 2016 and contractors were still hard at work the week before the opening.

Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan said although the build had its challenges, the final result has been worth it.

“It’s been years and years and years of very hard work by a lot of people,” she said. “We can finally stand here today and say: ‘We’re open.’”

Aside from its residential services, Hospice Care Ottawa also provides day programming for those with a lifelimiting illness, caregiver support, inhome support, grief and bereavement services, volunteer training and other programs. For more information, visit hospicecareottawa.ca.

In the case of doctors, many of whom are incorporated and bill the provincial governments for services rendered, these taxes will hurt their ability to serve patients. Doctors that choose to incorporate are able to hold some capital that they can use to upgrade offices, purchase equipment and hire staff without needing to declare that capital as income. If the government were to come along and tax this money at a much higher rate patients will be seen in older facilities, have less access to medical technology and have fewer staff caring for them.

F FAIRMONT AIRMONT CHÂTEAU CHÂTEAU LLAURIER AURIER

We cannot just assume doctors will automatically adjust to these changes, when so many of them and their associations are opposed we must listen.

In New Brunswick, 65% of doctors have said they would likely leave the province with these new changes. The same will happen in other provinces.

We cannot allow for this tax grab to lead to a brain drain that will hurt patients.

Catholic board students surpass provincial average test scores

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton

Students at the Ottawa Catholic school board have surpassed the provincial average in Education Quality and Accountability Office tests – known as EQAOs– according to a report released by the board on Sept. 20.

Scores for the Grade 3, Grade 6 and Grade 9 tests and the Ontario Secondary School literacy test were all above the average. The board credits their hard-working staff and students for the success and also their professional development through “collaborative learning and mentoring” programs.

“It starts with the creativity and diligence of our educators, who ensure that each student has the opportunity to learn in the way that is best for them and uses technology to support and deepen their learning,” said manager of communications Mardi de

Invictus Games / Flag Tour

Since their inception in 2014, the Invictus Games have shone an international light on the unconquerable spirit of wounded, ill and injured servicemen, servicewomen and Veterans.

The Games will present a unique opportunity for Canadians to honour the men, women and families who have made such great sacrifices for their country, and will provide our active and Veteran service members with an opportunity to showcase their unconquerable spirit on an international stage. The Invictus Games Toronto 2017 will be the third and largest Games yet.

I was so honoured to participate both in the departure ceremony for Ottawa-area participants as they boarded their train to Toronto, and at the Westboro Legion as the Invictus flag made its way through Ottawa. We should all be proud of our athletes and wish them the best of luck in Toronto. Go Canada Go!

Davtair Industries Visit

I had the opportunity to tour the Davtair Industries office in Kanata. Davtair, whose focus includes the design and fabrication of custom metal products, has been manufacturing high-quality, specialized products here in Kanata for 29 years. I want to thank my great hosts at Davtair for the visit, and highlight their contribution to our growing Kanata economy.

Community Events

With summer drawing to a close and the new Parliamentary session upon us, I spent last week travelling to the many events taking place across the riding, speaking with constituents and enjoying all the best our riding has to offer. I was among the many that laced up their shoes and walked in the Terry Fox Run in Kanata, alongside Councillors Allan Hubley, Shad Qadri, and Marianne Wilkinson. I also had the pleasure of joining Ms. Wilkinson and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson at the Kanata Seniors Council’s Expo 55+, an event that highlights the many different organizations that provide health and social services for seniors in our communities. I had a great time at the St. Gabriel’s Annual Roast Beef Dinner in Constance Bay and was thrilled to join Councillor Eli El-Chantiry at the West Carleton Legion’s Honours and Awards dinner. It was great to participate in presenting Eli with his 20 year membership pin. Thank you Kanata-Carleton for making this summer’s events so incredible!

Kemp in an email. “At the Ottawa Catholic School Board, we have made a commitment to support the professional development of our staff.”

Parents are another reason the board believes scores are high.

“Research shows that an engaged parent that works with their child and the school gives the child the best chance of success,” said de Kemp. “We are lucky in Ottawa to have a very engaged parent community.”

“While celebrating our literacy results, we remain committed to ensuring that building confidence and competence in mathematics is a priority for all of our students,” said director of education Denise Andre in a press release. “We look forward to receiving and examining our detailed data to further inform our math strategy.”

Kanata-Carleton Youth Council

As a part of the Government’s continued commitment to promote meaningful youth engagement in Canada’s government, the Kanata-Carleton Youth Council will be returning for this upcoming school year. Applications can now be submitted on our website! The Youth Council will include youth from different schools, neighbourhoods and local associations in our Riding. I am inviting anyone from the ages of 13-18 to apply. Once selected, the council will meet several times throughout the year to discuss issues that matter to our youth, their community and their country. I hope to hear from all those interested soon!

The feeling of accomplishment

M

other said I was old enough.

There were many little chores I was already doing, like keeping the wood box full, and making sure the pan under the icebox didn’t overflow. And now Mother said I was old enough to make butter! I was both delighted

MARY COOK Memories and annoyed.

Delighted because this was a very important job,

and annoyed because we always churned on Saturday morning, and this new chore was certainly going to cut into my playtime. My sister Audrey, who up to then, was in charge of the churning, was more than happy to give it up. I certainly didn’t have to be taught how to do it.

Goodness knows I watched

Audrey every Saturday, and to me, all I had to do was sit on a chair, with the churn between my knees, and plop the plunger up and down until I made butter. It was an early fall day when Mother announced I would take on this new chore. The churn had been rolled into the kitchen, very carefully, because it was half full of cream, and a chair put in front of it. I was ready to begin. But Mother said I would have to put on a big pinny, and it didn’t take me long to find out why. I had watched Audrey often enough to know that you simply grabbed the plunger with both hands and pumped until you could feel butter forming in the bottom of the churn. So I pulled up a chair, wrapped my bony knees around the churn, and began. Plop, plop, plop. I speeded up the pace, figuring the faster I went, the sooner I would be finished. The lid on the churn had a hole in the center big enough to give the plunger lots of room. It didn’t take me long to find out why I had to don the big flour-bag pinny. The cream splashed up through the hole, and since I was so much shorter than Audrey, much of it hit me square in the eyes, and the front of the

pinny was soon covered too.

Audrey said going faster did nothing to hasten the butter.

She was right...my arms ached, and I could tell nothing was happening in the churn. Also, my bottom started to develop pins and needles, so I had to stop the process to fetch a cushion to sit on. The wall clock ticked away, and I could feel my eyelids start to droop, and it felt like any minute I was going to keel over in a heap on the kitchen floor. Then it happened. The plunger was no longer splashing cream out the opening in the lid.

It got heavier and heavier to pound, even Mother and Audrey knew that the moment had come. They could tell by the sound! My arms felt like lead. Mother came over and lifted the lid, peered inside, and said, “Well, good for you, Mary. You have made your first batch of butter.”

The rest of the job would be up to my sister and Mother. With a big flat wood scoop, the butter was moved to the largest bowl we owned, and without measuring, Mother tossed in some salt. The butter was mixed and mixed until it was to Mother’s liking, and then pressed into the mold.

Packed down until it was a

solid mass, the butter was then released from the mold onto waxed paper.

Audrey said it was exactly a pound when it came out.

It would be wrapped and put in the ice box, some of it peddled door to door in Renfrew, and the rest of it used on our own table. I had never been so tired in my life. I went over to the creton couch by the stove, and stretched out, aching from top to bottom.

I figured it was too soon to try to barter with my sister to change back to her making the butter, and me doing something that didn’t wear me down to a dishrag.

Mother could see the state I was in, but instead of giving me sympathy she said, “each Saturday it will get easier.

You’ll see.” I didn’t believe her for a minute. And I wondered how long it would take for that feeling of accomplishment for a job well done that Mother always talked about, would hit me.

Capital City Chorus in tune for 60 years first rehearsal was at the Ottawa Teacher’s College on Lisgar Street. The group now practices Bob Hough’s arthritis can on Mondays at the Rob Kolbus be a hindrance when it comes Lakeside Centre at Britannia to choreography, but nothing could keep him from celebrating Capital City Chorus’ 60th anni- ‘Barber shopping versary. has been around “It’s a little hard to do the fancy moves,” the past a cappella for a long time member, who was with the bar- and this group has bershopping group for 25 years, said at a recent rehearsal. “I been giving to the wish I could be with them every community for 60 week.”

Hough, along with about 40 years’ other past members, will join the BOB HOUGH voices of the 60 current members for a special performance on Sept. 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Al- Beach.

“It’s fantastic. It’s the type of gonquin Commons Theatre.

songs, it’s the camaraderie, it’s the harmony,” he said. “The a cappella harmony, when it’s done right, it’s really excellent and this group does it really well; they really do.”

The camaraderie wasn’t limited to performances either. Capital City Chorus contributes to several charities, including Camp Smitty, the summer camp for the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club through an estimated $750,000 worth of donations of time, money and labour, Harmonize for Speech, and Sing Canada Harmony through a $60,000 donation to provide scholarships and funding for young singers and musicians.

“Barber shopping has been around for a long time and this group has been giving to the community for 60 years,” said Hough.

John Roberts Broker 613-832-0902

And he said he still gets excited to sing, every single time.

“I’ve never left in my heart,” he said.

The chorus has sung a cappella around Ottawa, singing anthems at sporting events, Christmas shows, at Westfest and even going out to sing for Valentines and birthdays.

“The show is really about a celebration of our last 60 years

and looking towards the future,” said the show’s chair, Robbin Zrudlo, noting the group has had 265 members in its 60 years.

Denis Laflamme, who has lead local voices in the group for the last 17 years, is directing the performance.

The set list includes popular hits from Elvis Presley to Leonard Cohen, country to spiritual.

It will inspire everything from

toe-tapping fun to pin dropping silence, Zrudlo said.

“It’s a lot of fun, we always surprise our audience with the variety of songs.”

The show will also include performances by Alumnus Michael Black and Shoptimus Prime. Tickets for the show are between $25 and $35. For more information, visit www.capital citychorus.org.

The Story My Plumber Asked Me Not To Write!

I hope this never happens to YOU. I was getting home from out of town. I was excited because I was throwing a big party this weekend.

Two days before the party, when I got home, my house was flooded! I couldn’t believe it. I had been gone and expected some pipes to be fixed that were being worked on and had hoped everything would be fine when I got there. It wasn’t!

I was dead come tomorrow! I was so irate. I called my plumber, yelled at my guy, threatened, it didn’t matter. He needed some parts and wouldn’t have them until Monday (actually he could get them but he doesn’t work weekends).

I started calling every plumber in the book. I was getting nowhere. So I went to a friend and he referred me to his plumber. This guy listened, understood, and was willing to work through the night to make sure I had everything I needed.

I owe them my social status. They aren’t like any other plumber in town.

Call them at 613-224-6335 and ask for their FREE booklet, “How To Avoid The 7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Hiring A Plumber.” Also, ask for information about their “Plumbing Safety Inspection” special which can save you money AND the grief I went through.

n i a r B ea s e rs

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may seem like you have long been preparing for a big event. Now is your chance to finally take action. Try to do something proactive this week. You are ready to move forward.

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!
