Police again stressed the importance of filing reports at a community meeting in Glen

Cairn on Sept. 27.

Thanks to a number of residents who called in suspicious incidents, police were able to make four arrests related to thefts from vehicles, said com-

munity officer Const. Arun Daniels.

Police arrested one youth and one adult in Kanata South in July in relation to thefts from vehicles, said Daniels.

Officers arrested and charged another youth for a break and enter in Glen Cairn last month., said Daniels.

One Young World summit encourages positive change Brightest young leaders from around the world gather in Ottawa

BY Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Young leaders and prospective leaders gathered in the capital to help change the world.

The One Young World summit started on Sept. 28 with a celebration on Parliament Hill, but the seriousness about what it takes to change the world began on Sept. 29 at the Shaw Centre.

“Young people can play a pivotal role in their countries,” said Kofi Annan, a Noble Peace Prize laureate, and former secretary-general of the United Nations between 1997 and 2006.

One Young World convenes an annual gathering of 1,300 young leaders from 196 countries, who network with peers to address urgent global issues.

Counsellors attending this year’s summit included, Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Cher, former president of Ireland Mary Robinson and actress and UN goodwill ambassador Emma Watson.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opened the summit at the Parliament Hill celebration.

Founded in 2009 by David Jones and Kate Robertson, the U.K.-based charity gathers together the brightest young leaders from around the world, with the goal to

empower them to make lasting connections in an effort to create positive change.

The first day welcomed Annan, along with six members of his foundation’s recently formed Extremely Together – a group of young leaders with proven trackrecords in preventing and countering violent extremism in their own communities – to help figure out what they can do to turn terrorism on its head.

“Here we have the opportunity to create real change and break the cycle of hate,” said group member Ilwad Elman.

Elman believes that nothing is set in stone, and if one youth turns towards hate and terrorism, all it takes is one thing to turn that person around.

“We can rebuild lives, and it will have a ripple effect,” she said.

The 26 year-old was born in Somalia, and before she was two, her family moved to Ottawa – where she grew up as, she describes, a typical Canadian girl.

It wasn’t until she was 20 years old when she decided to return to Somalia to help make a change in this world.

Now she works to deradicalise members of AlShabaab and promote gender equality in Africa.

The summit was the

group’s opportunity to announce the launch of its tool kit – a comprehensive study on where extremism comes.

The group said the kit will offer the best practices to show young people what to do to make change.

The council said the kit is a set of recommendations – but Elman said it’s not just another document, but rather a way to mobilize youth.

“This is a call to action that anyone can do,” Elman said.

“It’s not just countries in ongoing conflicts, it’s about countering it with countries with stable communities.

This is the time for people to get involved. People need to work together.”

It will be available online at kofiannanfoundation.org, as well as on oneyoungworld. com.

HERE AT HOME

Elman’s calling to make a difference started when she returned to Somalia. But, she said, it doesn’t have to be that way.

“It’s not about packing up and going home – for me that’s how I felt I could make an impact,” Elman said. “We find a way to blend, we all have a role (and) we can all work together.”

Slow down and keep everyone safe in our community. City Hall and all Client Service Centres will be closed on holiday Monday, Oct. 10. No garbage, recycling or green bin pick up will be done on Oct. 10, but will be postponed until Tuesday Oct. 11. Garbage, green bin and recycling will be delayed by one day for the remainder of the week.

We would like all entertainment/cultural groups in the area to be part of the festival. Please contact my office at 613-580-2474 or by e-mail at Marianne.wilkinson@ottawa.ca to participate or to pass on information about a group!

AUTONOMOUS CARS IN KANATA NORTH – A week ago I tabled a motion at Council to get City support for work being done in the Kanata North Business Park, where a number of companies are involved in developing the software to first improve safety of driver assist software (e.g. to park your car, keep you in your lane) and secondly to permit road testing of Autonomous Vehicles in the Business Park. The province plans to set up a Centre of Excellence for this technology and since Kanata is already a hub, locating it here makes sense. Companies like QNX already provide the software for cars around the world and other Kanata companies work on communications aspects. The head of the Canadian Automated Vehicles Centre of Excellence (CAVCOE) lives in Kanata and others have provided me with the information used in the motion that is scheduled for debate on Oct. 12th.

Police, Neighbourhood Watch meeting draws small crowd in Glen Cairn Continued from page 1

An adult male in Bells Corners was also arrested and charged with break and enter and possession of stolen property “that we think are related to thefts from vehicles,” said Daniels.

He added that if reports are not being filed – whether about thefts from vehicles, break-ins or speeding on local streets – the police don't know to step up patrol efforts in certain areas.

“We need to hear that information directly from the victims and from the witnesses,” said Daniels.

“We might not be able to charge them with an event but at least we’ve got some information about who these peo-

ple are; if their names come up in several areas when we have a problem then we start to know who to target.

“That was one of the cases with one of the people who

locked – in the Glen Cairn area over the summer months.

The meeting was a result of a number of thefts from vehicles – both unlocked and

Neighbourhood Watch program co-ordinator for Kanata and Stittsville. Only 15 residents attended.

The small turnout – when compared to the number of online complaints – left Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley disappointed following two months of consistent social media postings about thefts from vehicles over the summer.

“I am disappointed by the turnout,” said Hubley. “A lot of people asked for this on social media … I’m happy with the folks who came tonight.”

Those who attended took advantage of it, asking questions about what can be done to curb unwanted behaviour and sharing their experiences.

See NEIGHBOURHOOD, page 7

Neighbourhood Watch program provides link with local police Continued from page 6

South Kanata is well represented when it comes to the number of Neighbourhood Watch programs in place – 15 out of a total of 30 in Kanata and Stittsville. However, Glen Cairn has just two in its community – one on Torcastle Way, the other on Stokes Crescent.

The watch program is an effective tool to deal with most unwanted activities, said Victor McNabney, co-ordinator of the program in Kanata and Stittsville.

“It’s not the answer to each and every problem you’re going to have.

It’s a tool and the more tools you have in your kit the more successful you’re going to be in combating crime and preventing it from occurring,” he said.

“Over a decade ago we had a real issue with vandalism in Glen Cairn.

That’s around the time that Neighbourhood Watch really took off in this area,” said Hubley. “We found it was one of the best solutions because you can’t put a police officer on every single street. But you can

put a watch on every single street.”

Karen Coffin said she went around the street she lives on with flyers about the meeting and to talk

Over a decade ago we had a real issue with vandalism in Glen Cairn. That’s around the time that Neighbourhood Watch really took off in this area.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley

to her neighbours about a possible Neighbourhood Watch.

“Some neighbours I spoke to said, ‘Oh we don’t have any problems on this street.’ That was the attitude” she said. “It’s true, we don’t. But it doesn’t mean we won’t.

How do you incite some enthusiasm for something to be a bit more proactive rather than sitting back waiting for something to happen?”

McNabney said that’s the rub.

People often wait until something happens to take action. He suggests a group of neighbours start with a small geographic boundary to get

area such as a street should have a minimum of 50 per cent of residents on board to participate.

“Whenever we come to an au-

dience like this, most of you will say, ‘I’m a good neighbour and I'm looking out for my neighbourhood,” said McNabney. “If you’re doing that you’re nine-tenths of the way of being a Neighbourhood Watch. Take the next step and formalize yourselves.”

Neighbourhood Watch programs provide a link with the community police officer and access to crime trends in specific areas, as well as best practices of other watches that have proven effective said McNabney.

“There are things we can do to make things better; locking the vehicles, setting up a Neighbour-

hood Watch, all this stuff makes it harder for people. Most of them are crimes of opportunity,” said Daniels.

“We have quite a number of Neighbourhood Watches around,” said Hubley. “These problems don’t exist in those areas, not to the degree we’re getting here.”

Common sense holiday shopping

T

he Ontario Municipal Board quickly dismissed an Ottawa and District Labour Council appeal to quash the City of Ottawa’s decision to grant the BIA in the Glebe tourism district status that will allow stores in the Glebe to open on stat holidays going forward.

As decisions go, it was a no-brainer.

The labour council seemed to have a two-pronged argument. First, allowing retail businesses to operate on statutory holidays in the Glebe would be unfair to workers because they wouldn’t be able to enjoy those holidays. The other argument was that the Glebe and Lansdowne Park development area should not be considered a tourist area. Concerning that second argument first — really? Were they actually serious?

The OMB dismissed that argument by simply stating that Lansdowne Park and the Rideau Canal, in the Glebe, are indeed tourist attractions within the meaning of the province’s Retail Business Holidays Act. That appears to be a very reasonable decision.

On the surface the stickier argument is the whole unfairness to workers argument that they may not get these holidays if they work in the Glebe area. But last time we checked, the calendar said the year is 2016 — and while we know that Ontario had to dragged kick-

ing and screaming into the modern world when Sunday shopping was first allowed times have changed and the way people live nowadays is a lot different than it was in the past. Nowadays many people are happy to be able to shop even on stat days if they can. They’ve been able to that in this city in the ByWard Market and Rideau Centre for a while. That they can’t elsewhere seems silly.

Some people worry that with the Glebe getting this special status, other areas of Ottawa may come forward and seek the same for their areas as well such as the Centrum shopping complex out in Kanata. Well, why not?

Many restaurants are open on stat days. Some places, such as Tim Hortons outlets, never seem to close. This coming Thanksgiving stores that wish to remain open in the Glebe — and that is the key as it is a now a choice rather than government fiat that says you can or can’t open — will be open for business. And residents of the city, from one end to the other, can go shopping there on that day if they want to do so.

Imagine that, having a choice as a business owner and a shopper. Who knows but this radical idea of having a choice may actually catch on.

Feds vision of pot legalization of hazy

T

hings aren’t going all that well in the legalizing marijuana department. It’s funny that no one antici-

pated it.

It may be that some kind of 1960s consciousness blinded the decision-makers. Marijuana would be legal, no one would have to go to jail, sweet little hippies would grow it and sell it and everybody would go around wearing secret smiles.

Meanwhile, the world would marvel at what a hip and progressive place Canada was.

So far it hasn’t worked that way.

The sweet little hippies are nowhere in evidence. Their place has been taken up by fast-moving entrepreneurs who have set up dispensaries on seemingly every corner, including some corners that are perilously close to schools.

At the moment this seems to

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town contradict the position taken by the federal government that legalization will somehow make marijuana less available to children. Oh, and by the way, the state of Colorado, where marijuana is legal, has banned the sale of gummy candies laced with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

Marijuana gummies. Who knew?

To complicate matters, some of the products being sold have been found to contain pesticides and fungicides. Since the sale of marijuana is still technically illegal (legislation to legalize it is expected next spring)

no mechanism exists to ensure proper government testing.

The federal government, whose brainchild marijuana legalization is, doesn’t seem to be doing much about this. The health department, with the peculiar logic of which governments are sometimes capable, explains its inaction on these findings by answering that the dispensaries in question are illegal.

This leaves the question of enforcement in local hands. Some local police forces have cracked down on what are essentially illegal outlets and some have not. You can hardly blame them for being confused.

Those that have not cracked down reason that it is silly, and costly, to enforce a law that will be obsolete in a few months. Those that have cracked down believe that, health risk or no, it is simply wrong

to allow people to flout the law.

Someone might have thought all this through before legalization became an election promise.

Belatedly, the government did start thinking. It appointed a task force on legalization. Probably wisely, the task force was made to include some folks who might not be totally onside. That included Anne McLellan, a minister of justice in the former Chrétien government. A couple of weeks ago she told the CBC that it is not realistic to think legalizing marijuana will keep organized crime out of the game.

She also acknowledged other social and health-related problems.

“There are risks involved here,” she said. “Nobody should naively go into this project without understanding that there are risks.”

The risks might include reported evidence that the brains of young smokers are particularly vulnerable.

Perhaps those risks and the social and criminal risks can be overcome — but not without recognizing that EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

they exist.

From all the evidence to far, it appears that laws are being broken and unsafe products are being made available to the public while the government looks on.

While we wait for the fog to clear and the haze to begin, it is worth considering the example the government is setting for the young people it so eagerly seeks to involve in public service.

Teaching kids to be thankful

T

his is the worst dinner ever,” my 10-year-old declared for probably the fifth time in as many days.

“Thanks for supper, mom.”

His comment upset me, but not for the reasons you may think. I’ve grown a thick skin to this type of criticism.

Most of the time – I’m no saint – I don’t anticipate anything but critique on my culinary skills. Mostly, however, I was upset because I realized this kid, although taking a moment to say thank you, wasn’t truly aware of the meaning, or lack thereof, behind his words.

As many of us gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, we will give thanks, as tradition demands. But will we truly be thankful?

Practicing daily gratitude has become as cliché as morning coffee. I, for one, have neglected to say an hourly prayer of thanks or meditate on the subject of gratitude.

I have rejected the yaysayers who #gratitude every darn Facebook post. I’ve done this out of a sense of rebellion.

But lately, I’ve started questioning my rebel without a cause attitude. Seeing my child’s lack of gratitude made me realize that perhaps I’ve failed to impart the importance of this value to my offspring.

Okay, so what kid doesn’t hate dinner at home – unless it’s pizza or taco night?

But truly, is he grateful that there’s food on the table?

Is he grateful that his mom takes time to do the weekly shopping, to lovingly (and sometimes not so lovingly) prepare a balanced meal?

Mostly, he is, I guess.

We’ve tried to raise the kids to be grateful. We’ve tried to set limits, not spoil them.

We give them surprise gifts sometimes and other times make them work for stuff.

Mostly, they’re pretty polite

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse in public. I do remember my son, however, when he was pre-school age, being asked by a great aunt, “What’s the magic word?” To my great humiliation and simultaneous delight, he responded, “Abracadabra?”

In my search on how to teach kids gratitude, I came up with a few things that don’t involve magic at all.

The first step is to be a role model. Be thankful for the children and to the children for their help, their creative presence and their contributions to others.

‘Be wary of material gifts. It’s nice to give children things. But three children and a dozen years into this parenting thing, I have come to realize that material possessions have a limit.’

Encourage the kids to practice that #gratitude habit. Help them to start a list, a gratitude jar or a journal so they can engage in writing down things for which they are thankful.

Be wary of material gifts.

It’s nice to give children things. But three children and a dozen years into this parenting thing, I have come to realize that material possessions have a limit. Kids are engaged with shiny new items

one minute; the next, they’ve tossed that item to the back of the cupboard.

Give them great experiences. I’ve written frequently about our family camping adventures. “The deprivation vacation,” as one friend calls it. But without material items, and often without WiFi, we focus on the time spent together. Sometimes that is time spent in adversity, battling rain or black flies.

Often, as parents, we have to convince the kids to engage in a hike or some other type of adventure.

Perhaps where we’ve fallen short is giving the kids the opportunity to help plan the trip and then to do a postmortem afterwards.

What is it about the trip that offered them a learning experience? For which experiences are they thankful?

Finally, this Thanksgiving, we can all remember those who perhaps don’t have family, material goods and experiences that enlighten them. It’s good for children to recognize need in the community and to be aware that we can all make a difference in the lives of those around us.

The old adage says charity begins at home. By encouraging kids to donate toys, make cookies for a fundraiser or give time at a shelter, we can instill that sense of gratitude for the simple things. As for weekday dinners, well, I may gently remind my son that, despite my thick skin, his criticism of my cooking can feel like a slap in the face, even when he gratefully cleans his plate and puts a thank you appendage on the end.

United Way Ottawa announces campaign goal of $15.2M

By Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

For JP Quinn, Heather Hurley is more like family than a volunteer with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre’s friendly visiting program.

The pair have spent twohours a week for about four years hanging out on Friday afternoons, making conversation, touring the city and watching the Hobbit.

“It’s been tea and cake and music ever since,” Quinn said.

Quinn has always donated and canvassed for the United Way even back when it was the red feather campaign.

“I never thought I’d be the recipient of the services it supports,” he said.

This year, the United Way is hoping to raise $15.2 million to support 60,300 people.

The goal was announced at the Aberdeen Pavilion on Sept. 29. Last year, the United Way helped 57,200 through its funded community support programs; since 2011 about 286,000 people have been helped, according to the organization.

Funds go to support seniors, people with disabilities, at-risk children and youth, homeless youth and people facing mental health and addictions issues.

Quinn, a retired senior, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and who has mobility issues due to his ar-

thritis, said the experience having someone come to his home and have intelligent conversation has been wonderful.

“It’s nice to have adult conversation and it keeps me sharp. Otherwise I think I would have rotted away.”

At the time Hurley volunteered, she was new to the city.

“He helped me build roots in the city,” Hurley said. “He made it feel like home to me.”

Quinn and Hurley’s story isn’t completely unique, according to Nicole Li, volunteer co-ordinator at the health centre. The health centre matches the personalities of seniors with volunteers and some pairings have lasted up to 15 years, she said.

“Without Heather and my girlfriend, I think I would have been a bitter old man,” Quinn said, in the Aberdeen Pavilion – where, as an air cadet, he would line up for inspection – following the United Way’s annual kick-off event.

“We’re all here because we believe we can change people’s lives,” said Kathleen Kemp, who is co-chairing the campaign this year with Frank Bilodeau, leading up to this year’s campaign goal announcement.

During the event, just more than $6,000 was raised to help youth in 14 community houses access animation courses.

The campaign wraps up on March 31, 2017. Donations can be made at unitedwayottawa.ca or by phone at 613228-6767.

Report unveils new water billing system Chernushenko says first proposal too ‘conceptual’

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Changes to the way the city bills residents for drinking water, taking away sewage and stormwater won’t be a big drain on the average homeowner’s finances, says the city’s deputy treasurer Isabelle Jasmin.

The city released its draft report on a new water rate structure on Oct. 3.

For 85 per cent of residents, the new billing system will mean a $2 difference on their monthly bill, according to the city.

The report offers a second wave of numbers in an effort to deal with flagging revenues and increasing costs in providing water and sewer services in the city.

The city’s environment committee chair Coun. David Chernushenko said more than 800 people provided input on an initial report released back in the spring.

“We promised to take the feedback seriously and come up with a better report,” he said, adding the problem with the first effort was that it was too conceptual.

The sticking point for many of the city’s rural residents is that they are being charged despite being on their own well and septic systems. Ultimately they would be on the hook for $2 million under the rate structure change.

At a consultation meeting last spring, Chernushenko said there had to be a balance between a flat rate for

Coun. David Chernushenko said more than 800 people provided comments on an initial draft report on the water billing system. everyone, and getting out to every property with a watering can and a meter to see how permeable their property is.

Rural homeowners flooded the consultations with complaints about the proposal, and requests for a more sophisticated system that took into account the different nature of their properties.

“The good thing is most people recognized the need to pay for stormwater service,” Chernushenko said.

In response, staff created categories for apartments and townhouses that are urban and connected to the city’s water, urban apartments that are not connected, and rural apartments that are connected and not connected.

In total there are six categories, including single-family and semi-detached homes, Jasmin said.

Right now residents pay

$100 per year for stormwater fees. Under the new rate structure that would increase to $106. There would be discounts for urban and rural homes that are not connected.

For example, a rural singlefamily home would pay $53 per year if they are not connected to the city’s water. An unconnected rural apartment would pay $27.

Urban homes that are privately serviced would get a discount, but it would be 30 per cent off the total of a municipally serviced

home, instead of 50 per cent.

The complex system of rates is the fairest method, aside from assessing each property, according to the city.

The City of Mississauga bills each home, but Jasmin says the practice costs the city millions annually.

“You’d have to go by roll numbers and land parcels,” Jasmin said. “And we don’t have full mapping for the rural areas.”

Chernushenko said the city has to “walk before it can run,” and opted to start off with a simple system that would be open to review in the future.

The new rate structure will be phased in over the next four years.

Jasmin said very low volume users will see a potential increase of $13 per month.

That would only apply to those customers who use less than a third of the average water consumed, she said.

The city’s environment committee will hear the draft report on Oct. 18 and the public will have the opportunity to speak at the meeting.

If council approves the rate changes, they would take effect in January 2018.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Proud to Serve You It is a privilege and an honour to serve as your Member of Provincial Parliament for the great riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. If you are a constituent of this riding and you are faced with a problem that involves the Ontario provincial government, please note I am here to help you.

Government Spending Beyond its Limits The Government’s Bill 10 decimated the childcare industry and closed thousands of spots just to punish a few bad apples. Introducing more sensible reforms would have saved many spots and ensured improved, safer childcare. But the Government failed to do that. Now they are backpedalling clumsily away from their own disastrous policy. In the Government’s recent throne speech, Kathleen Wynne promised to create 100,000 more public daycare positions.

That’s all we heard until Associate Minister of Education Indira Naidoo-Harris told reporters that these positions would cost somewhere between $1 and $4 billion. That’s a shockingly huge margin. I began wondering whether this policy had even been examined and approved by the Public Service.

Does this Government expect Ontarians to ignore this level of vagueness? Associate Minister Naidoo-Harris is signalling a gigantic amount of spending. But the government is also promising to rebate about $1 billion for hydro. When you add all this up, it’s obvious that the government isn’t serious about respecting your tax dollars, and they aren’t serious about balancing the budget.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Carp Fair I was delighted to meet so many constituents at the Carp Fair. It was a terrific opportunity to discuss key issues and to get very useful feedback from so many. I would like to congratulate Presidents Ron Bidgood and Tracey Zoobkoof, and the entire leadership and volunteer team for all of their hard work. I would especially like to thank General Manager Joyce Trafford, who oversaw her last fair this year. She is to be congratulated for her remarkable 27 years of dedication to the Carp Fair. This year’s event was such a great celebration of community, and everyone in the Riding should be proud of the great work done by so many. See you at next year’s fair!

30th Anniversary Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre I was so happy to attend the 30th anniversary of the WOCRC. This inspirational group brings care and compassion to our community and makes us all stronger.

Model railway show features 3 trains

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

It was “All Aboard” at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last weekend.

That’s when Tony Chamberlain and his wife Carol Stephenson set up and operated a threetrain “0” gauge model railroad layout in the library’s meeting room.

But it was more than just railway engines and train cars!

Mini-villages with numerous buildings were set up, around which the trains ran.

And given the time of year, the railway layouts had a Halloween aspect to them. There was a pumpkin patch building and one of the rail cars carried a load of pumpkins. scavenger hunt

To interest youngsters in closely examining these model railroad layouts, Tony had a scavenger hunt for them, giving them a list of 20 attractions in the layouts to locate. Successful hunters received a chocolate goodie, made possible in part thanks to the generosity of Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville.

And what a list the scavenger hunt included! Attractions to be found included two skeletons dancing; a bridge made of skulls; five aliens standing in a row; a Grinch; Quidditch stadium for that Harry Potter wizard sport played on broomsticks; a headless horseman; a snowman; two minions; an outhouse; a witch riding a pumpkin; a blood fountain; Snoopy riding on a pumpkin; a grim reaper; a T-Rex dinosaur skeleton; three witches stirring a pot; monsters playing cards under a tree; “James” the tank engineer; a polar bear; a clown food truck; and two skeletons barbequing.

These largely Halloweenthemed model railroad layouts are not the only ones which Tony displays. He has others such as one with a Christmas theme.

Tony was participating in a children’s show at the National Arts Centre when he was asked

by Ottawa Public Library staff if he would set up his model railroad layout at library branches. Since then he has set up model railroad layouts at the Centrepointe, Beaverbrook and other library branches. He has now been at the Stittsville library branch as well.

Tony, who lives in Kanata, has a model railroad layout set up in his basement and also another one in the garage.

His wife Carol Stephenson also enjoys model railroading but she likes setting up the layout more than actually operating the trains. She came to the hobby late as she was interested in them in her youth but her parents directed her to dolls instead. However, she retained her interest in them which she is now able to pursue along with her husband Tony.

This “O” gauge model train show at the Stittsville library, which was a free drop in program, was on display last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept.

30, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2. “o” gauge for model trains is a commonly used scale in model railroading.

Originally introduced by German toy manufacturer Marklin around 1900, this three-rail alternating current “O” gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the United States by the 1930’s and remained so until the early 1960’s. The decline in popularity was due to the introduction of smaller scales.

The name “O” gauge is de-

rived from “O (zero) gauge” because it was smaller than Gauge 1 and the other existing standards. Gauge refers to the width of the model track. “O” gauge model railroad tracks typically have their rails space one and a quarter inches apart. lionel

Although Lionel is the most enduring brand of “O” gauge trains, a variety of manufacturers made trains in this scale. Prior to World War One, most toy trains sold in the United States were imported from Germany.

A number of American companies made “O” gauge trains between the two World Wars, with Lionel, Marx and American Flyer rising to the top of the market.

Between 1946 and 1976, the primary American manufacturers of “O” gauge trains were Lionel and Marx, with American Flyer switching to the more realistic “S” scale while other companies went out of business.

“O” gauge started to regain popularity in the 1990’s and more manufacturers entered the business with no fewer than six companies marketing “O” gauge in the United States.

Giving thanks Foyer Gallery employees Jennifer Foster (left) and June Harman were onhand for the official opening of the gallery’s Gratitude exhibition at the Nepean Sportsplex on Oct. 2. The exhibition features publicly submitted photos of the things the photographers are grateful for.

Gratitude will run until Oct. 16.

Last race of the year

2016

It was the last race of the season and the Ottawa River Canoe Club had interest from more than enough paddlers to send two boats to the Kingston Dragon Boat Festival 2016: the ORCC Dames, and a mixed crew from ORCC, the Ericsson team and Stroke It! Last race of the day, last race of the year; the crew was ready to give it their all. The team kept improving its time in the 400 metres, and finished third overall for the mixed crew, and fourth overall for the Dames. If you’ve ever wondered what paddling in a boat of 22 would be like, come try it out next year at ORCC, or circle Saturday July 15, 2017 on your calendar to join a local rec team at the third annual Constance Bay Dragon Boat Festival.

Feds to create task force on cycling, pedestrian safety

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The federal government is getting involved in making cycling on roadways safer.

Federal Transportation Minister Marc Garneau announced Sept. 29 that Transport Canada and the provinces will establish a new task force in an attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities involving pedestrians, cyclists and

heavy trucks.

The announcement of the task force follows a letter from Mayor Jim Watson to Garneau.

Cyclists held a rally at city hall on Sept. 1 following the death of a woman at the corner of Laurier Avenue and Lyon Street. Cyclists were also hit at the intersection of the Vanier Parkway and Donald Street and Ogilvie and Cyrville roads earlier that week.

In response to the accidents, the mayor met with local pedestrian and cycling groups.

Watson’s letter asked that further research be conducted on truck safety guards and other safety measures that would reduce fatal collisions.

In a press release, Garneau said the task force would explore cameras, sensor systems, side guards, as well as educational safety and awareness programs.

lished through the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators.

Watson said he’s pleased to see the federal government moving forward on the file.

“I am pleased that Minister Garneau has heard our call and is committed to enhanc-

“I am pleased to work with my provincial, territorial and municipal colleagues to explore options to reduce collisions and improve safety for everyone on Canada’s roadways,” Garneau said.

“Whether it’s through technology, equipment, or an educational approach, we need to find out what works best in order to improve safety for Canadians.”

The task force will be estab-

ing safety measures; I look forward to seeing the results of their discussions and the proposed study,” Watson said.

“While it is impossible to completely eliminate incidents, the City of Ottawa will strive to reduce their likelihood and severity.”

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring?

Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech.

Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal.

Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions.

A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to

reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech.

Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours of hearing with only one charge.

Thebrainrequiresmorementalenergywhen listening in difficult environments. This effortful listening in turn leads to fatigue. increases in stress, tension, and fatigue.

A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech.

Without a flux capacitor, organizers of a Back to the Futurethemed fundraiser hosted in Bells Corners in May for the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation had to wait until after the event to find out how successful it was.

Well, the numbers are in. Nearly five months later, the city councillors who hosted the Enchantment Under the Sea fundraiser say the event far exceeded their expectations.

On Oct. 3, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli and Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson presented hospital staff with a cheque for $16,310.

fans from all over the city there.”

The event included live and silent auctions, live entertainment and a three course meal, and brought more than 100 guests to 1951 West Kitchen and Bar on Robertson Road in support of the hospital.

The funds raised that night will go toward the hospital’s new Myers Automotive acute care of the elderly unit, known as the ACE unit, which is scheduled to open on Oct. 14 and will begin accepting patients in November.

Designed to help elderly patients who are facing more complex challenges than the general population, the new unit will use state of the art equipment and a holistic approach when treating illness and injury.

When it opens, it will be the second unit of its kind in Ontario, and the first in Ottawa.

Chiarelli said getting residents across the city involved in fundraising for the unit is an important way for the hospital to engage the families and individuals who will benefit from the unit as they age.

“Every family should think about making a contribution because every family is going to use this unit at some point in the foreseeable future,” Chiarelli said.

Wilkinson said although the centre is in Nepean, residents in Kanata should feel equally invested in its development since the hospital serves a large portion of Ottawa’s western communities.

“A lot of people in Kanata support it, as well as in Nepean,” Wilkinson said. “Because it’s a hospital for all of us in the west end and it has been used by our family and every family around here over time, and we’ve really appreciated having it.”

Contributions from the May 11 event bring the hospital slightly closer to raising the last $400,000 needed for the $12-million unit, but there is still some work to do.

“We certainly have all the basic equipment,” said Cathie Gray, clinical lead for the ACE unit.

“We’re still fundraising that last $400,000, but I think we’ll be ready to go fwor patients, and I think that as the money comes in we’ll be buying more of the equipment that’s suitable for the age population.” visit us at

Acute care of the elderly unit set to open despite funding shortfall

BY Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

The Queensway Carleton Hospital’s new Acute Care for the Elderly Unit is scheduled to open on Oct. 14 and receive its first patients in November, despite a funding shortfall of $400,000.

Designed to help elderly patients who are facing more complex challenges than the general population, the new unit will use a holistic approach when treating illness and injury.

When it opens, it will be the second unit of its kind in Ontario, and the first in Ottawa.

The $12-million unit’s construction and furnishing is being paid for through a combination of provincial funding, corporate sponsorship and grassroots fundraising.

With provincial and corporate funding secured, the foundation was left to raise the remaining amount through community fundraising.

Melanie Adams, president

and CEO of the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation, said that despite the urgent need to meet a fundraising goal when a centre opens, there is sometimes a perception in the public that the work is over.

“A challenge for any organization is when something like this opens before you finish your fundraising or before you achieve your fundraising target, the sense of urgency is kind of depleted in the community because it’s up, it’s running, it’s there – what do you need the money for?” she said. “And this is one of those situations.”

Adams said although the 34bed inpatient care centre will be able to accept elderly patients by late November, until the remaining funds are raised, the innovative care centre will lack some of the equipment it needs to be most effective.

The foundation’s goal, Adams said, is to close the funding gap by the end of the year.

“It’s optimal so that we can confirm to the hospital exactly

RE/MAX HALLMARK REALTY LTD., BRoKERAgE

what they are free to go ahead and purchase,” she said. “So there will just be some things that will be on hold now until we meet our goal.”

While Adams acknowledged that some people might be feeling donor fatigue, others, like Bay Coun. Mark Taylor are bracing for the final push.

Taylor will host the second annual Their Time for Care cocktail reception for the unit on Oct. 13 at Biagio’s Italian Kitchen, 1394 Richmond Rd. With an eye toward engaging a younger audience – whose parents and grandparents will be some of the first people to benefit from the unit – organizers have booked country-infused indie rock group the Wild Vines to perform at the event.

Tickets to the Their Time for Care cocktail reception are available for $100 and can be purchased through Biagio’s Italian Kitchen at 613-8280770. The reception is scheduled to run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Demand grows to close west end restaurant in wake of shooting

BY Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson joined the chorus of those calling for the closure of Suya Spot, a Shillington Avenue Nigerian restaurant that was the site of a fatal shooting on Sept. 25.

Abdi Jama, 26, was killed in the back parking lot of the eatery.

The killing was one of a pair of deadly shootigs in the west end over the same weekend – the other happened the day before on Elmira Avenue.

“It’s certainly a magnet for trouble,” Watson said of the restaurant following the Sept. 28 council meeting.

Watson said closing the restaurant and finding a more family-friendly use for the site would be a good idea.

“Whether it’s the annoyance of noise and fights outside the property or something more deadly like the shooting, there’s a lot of trouble there,” he said.

The city does have some recourse for problem businesses, such as complaints to the provincial alcohol and gaming commission, or investigations under the property standards bylaw or fire code.

Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said during a Sept. 26 police services board meeting that there had been more than 100 calls for service to the restaurant

since it opened three years ago.

“It has run the gamut on everything from weapons to drugs,” Bordeleau said of those calls.

But it’s not as simple as shutting it down, he said.

“We don’t have the power to shut it down,” he said. “We can lay charges and have been working with the landlord. We have actively opposed the restaurant getting a liquor license, but we know there are illegal liquor sales happening after hours.”

River Coun. Riley Brockington said he’s been in talks with the landlord to work on a way to sever Suya Spot’s lease.

Aside from the charges Bordeleau highlighted, Brockington said there have been seven charges under the fire code and three charges for serving alcohol without a license.

Brockington added the landlord pledged to meet with his tenant and then with the councillor later this week.

The shootings on Sept. 25 and 26, bring the city’s total homicides up to 13 for 2016 – which is on pace with the same time as the record-breaking year in 2014.

Bordeleau said the shootings highlight an ongoing problem with illegal firearms in the city.

Both of the west end shooting victims were known to police.

Kanata’s Philipe Turcanu won the first international medal for the Ottawa River Canoe Club during the Olympic Hopes regatta in Hungary last month.

Turcanu finished third in the men’s single canoe 500-metre final on Sept. 25 with a time of 1:58:34.

Those in the top four spots were about one second apart.

“I am very happy with my bronze finish,” said the 16-year-old. “I wasn't expecting to go out of Canada and be at that level, and being competitive at an international level is what you really want – let alone medal. Seeing as all of my races were very well done from start to finish, I think that all of my races are equivalent to gold medals in my books.”

Turcanu competed in seven events – heats, semi-finals and finals – for a

total of 12 races and set a number of personal records in his events.

“After racing at this competition, I just realized how beautiful the sport really is and how amazing it is to compete against the best of other nations,” said Turcanu. “Being able to experience the beauty of super high quality racing is something that I will miss dearly until my next opportunity.”

Turcanu took a few days off following the event, and is back training for next season. He has plans to compete in the cross-country season “to add a bit of variety in my training,” he said.

LA Schmidt, founder of the Dunrobin canoe club, said she was proud of his achievement.

“It was a great morning for the Ottawa River Canoe Club at the Olympic Hopes regatta in Szeged, Hungary, as we got our first ever International medal for the club,” she wrote in an email not long after Turcanu’s win.

Canada finished third overall with six gold medals, two silvers, and 10 bronze at the regatta.

And it’s easy to donate: just drop into any TD Canada Trust branch in Stittsville, Kanata, Manotick, Barrhaven, Westboro or the Glebe in the month of October and drop off your donated jewellery or handbags in the collection box that will be there. You can also drop off your donations at any one of the eight Dymon Storage locations in the Ottawa area.

It was four years ago that Eva von Jagow, then a student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, and her mother, Karen von

Jagow of Stittsville began this “All That Glam” fundraiser to raise funds to support breakfast programs in Nunavut. To date over $60,000 has been raised for these programs in Nunavut schools.

The “All That Glam” fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 26 will be a virtual woman’s wonderland with thousands of pieces of incredibly priced jewellery and purses, all available just in time for Christmas gift giving. There will also be a silent auction, Nunavut artwork and coffee and food available, making

for a memorable “Girls Morning Out.” This fourth annual “All That Glam” fundraiser is now a much anticipated holiday season event. It will happen on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 8a .m. to 2 p.m. at the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Innovation Drive in Kanata.

A weekly guide in legal matters

We placed an offer on a house, which was accepted by the sellers. The agreement is conditional upon a satisfactory home inspection. The house was built only a few years ago and we are considering waiving our right to a home inspection. If we do, what rights do we have if we discover some deficiencies in the house after the closing date?

Buyer Beware The law in Ontario is pretty clear: “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. Therefore, most of the time the buyer can’t make a claim against the seller for any deficiencies discovered after closing. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose any defects that the seller is aware of. The only exceptions to this rule are serious hidden defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house or render the house unfit for human habitation. Hidden defects are also those defects that the seller is trying to conceal.

Representations and Warranties The sellers of residential real estate in Ontario are not obliged to provide any representations or warranties to the buyer.

The standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a resale home used by real estate agents does not contain any warranties in regards to the physical condition of real estate property, except for a very limited warranty related to ureaformeldahyde insulation. The buyer might try to negotiate warranties into the agreement of purchase and sale, however this is very rare.

Home Inspection A proper home inspection performed by an experienced home inspector is the best way to protect you from any unpleasant surprises. While a home inspector might not be able to identify all defects, especially hidden ones, it is the only way to learn what you are buying and to make an informed decision about one of the most important purchases of your lifetime.

Resource centre celebrates 30 years of service

BY JESSICA CUNHA

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A little rain didn’t stop more than 300 people from attending the 30th anniversary barbecue of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre on Sept. 26.

A number of people involved in the creation of the resource centre three decades ago also made appearances, including Heather Colls, Peggy Feltmate and Marianne Wilkinson.

Colls remembered the early days when she would accompany police officers to domestic disturbance calls because a female was needed and there were very few females on the force.

The centre grew out of a

need for resources in the community to deal with violence against women and food security, she said. Colls was also instrumental in establishing the Kanata Food Cupboard.

“This story began with Heather,” said Wilkinson, city councillor for Kanata North.

Wilkinson was the first chairperson of the resource centre in 1986.

“I just want to say how wonderful it is to see how it’s developed over the years and all the different services it’s developed and all the people it’s helped,” said Wilkinson.

“A great big thank you to Heather for getting this started.”

Feltmate was the first executive director for the centre and remembered working

from a small office on Abbeyhill Drive with a donated phone system and an electric typewriter.

“We started very basic but we worked hard,” said Felt-

mate, a former councillor for Kanata.

“People from other parts of the area thought that maybe we were too wealthy to have problems out here.

But we no sooner opened our doors than we discovered that there were wife abuse and child abuse issues happening, youth suicide, drug abuse, seniors without service,” she

said. “All of these things were identified and gradually over the years we’ve built and built and built.”

their children fleeing domestic violence, was created in response to the 14 women who were murdered in Montreal at École Polytechnique in 1989 by a psychologically

disturbed gunman, said Feltmate.

A youth suicide crisis in West Carleton drove the centre to create programming for children and teens.

“When there are crises in the community, the community resource centre was there to respond. After 30 years, they are still responding,” said Feltmate.

In 2015-16, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre: • Received 537 crisis calls at Chrysalis House. Eightyseven women and 69 dependants received shelter, while 247 women were turned away due to lack of space.

• Supported 87 mothers facing violence and 52 child witnesses of violence through the child witness program, while 380 women received violence against women counselling services.

• Provided transitional housing support to 251 women.

RETIREMENT

After close to 20 years of involvement with the resource centre, executive director Cathy Jordan is retiring in the new year.

She has been the executive director of the centre for 15 years, since Feltmate retired from the position.

“It’s pretty special,” said Jordan in an earlier interview.

“I think the centre’s had a lot of stability.”

Jordan said the past year has been exciting.

‘Innovative’ work happening at resource centre Continued from page 40

The resource centrehas added a number of new programs, including the adult day program in partnership with Algonquin College and “innovative work” surrounding seniors living in West Carleton, said Jordan.

The centre also: • Saw 2,105 children and 2,502 parents and caregivers attend the Ontario Early Years Centre-Carleton playgroups.

• Provided 7,319 drives and 1,933 foot care visits to seniors and adults with a physical disability.

• Delivered 28,863 meals as part of its Meals on Wheels program.

• Provided counselling and referrals for 2,271 individuals.

• Saw 229 volunteers log 30,280 hours of service.

“I want to thank everyone who’s contributed past and present,” said Jordan. “I just want to say thank you to everyone for all their work.”

Robert Bourgeois, chair of the board, said Jordan has been an invaluable part of the community.

“It’s under her leadership that a lot of what goes on at the centre has become reality,” he said.

“Cathy has done a remarkable job advocating for the people of the west end to us at city hall,” said Mayor Jim Watson.

A celebration to mark Jordan's time as executive director will be held at a later date.

City on track to garner $22 million in surplus land sales Properties on Hazeldean, St. Laurent net the city $5.8 million

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The sale of two pieces of surplus land will net the city $5.8 million this year, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

Wilkinson, who’s on the board of the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation – the city’s realty arm – updated council on Sept. 28.

The first piece of land was at 5731 Hazeldean Rd., which sold for $4.1 million.

Another plot of land at 2500 St. Laurent Blvd. sold for $1.7 million.

The latest numbers bring the total to $22 million for this term of council, Wilkinson said.

The sale of two pieces of surplus land will net the city $5.8 million this year, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Wilkinson, who’s on the board of the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation – the city’s realty arm, updated council on Sept. 28. the surplus lands are from holdings of the former municipalities.

��

“Nepean had a large land block, as did Kanata,” she said, adding there will

likely be excess land to sell off for the next 10 to 15 years.

The money from the sale of the lands goes into general revenue, but Rideau-Vanier

Coun. Mathieu Fleury suggested that down the road the monies could be put into an endowment fund to bulk up the city’s social housing stock.

Mayor Jim Watson thanked the team that sits on the organization's board for using their expertise to determine when the best time to sell would be.

Wilkinson has a background in realty.

“We kind of act like a developer,” Wilkinson said.

Some of the things the city uses the money for: • Provision of parks and contribution to recreational facilities, • Protecting 17 hectares of natural environment area, • Supporting the construction of city infrastructure, • Facilitates the development of 1,800 new residential units, • Promoting transit-oriented development.

The intent of the OCLDC is to sell city land in a way that’s aligned with community objectives.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line West Light Rail Transit Extension – City of Ottawa The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit Environmental Assessment study.

The Project

The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit Network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Bayshore and Baseline Stations, as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue.

The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan will add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore. The plan will also connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven.

Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment along Richmond Road and Byron Linear Park, Lincoln Fields Station, Iris Station, and Bayshore Station. These changes have no significant additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, improve construction staging conditions, improve transit user experience, and have been incorporated into the EPR.

The Process

The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program.

The EPR for the Confederation Line West LRT Extension will be available for a 30-day public review period starting September 29, 2016.

Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the 120 day Notice of Commencement phase, which began on June 2, 2016. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

It is still unknown how much it will cost to pay for extra policing to cover all the events that are planned in the City of Ottawa that will mark Canada's 150th birthday in 2017.

Police anticipate 1,200 events around the capital for 2017 Police services board wants to know what policing costs will be for birthday celebrations

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

While Ottawa police know that there will be as many as 25 major events throughout the capital for Canada Day 2017, it’s still not quite clear what the increased costs for policing the grand celebrations will be.

There’s a three-person security team dedicated to planning for 2017 events.

Supt. Joan McKenna briefed the police services board on Sept. 26.

Board member Carl Nicholson wanted the numbers.

“How much is this going to cost us?” he asked.

But Deb Frazer, director general of financial services for the Ottawa police, said the numbers won’t be avail-

able until closer to budget time.

“It will be tough to estimate how much,” she said.

The reason it’s difficult to estimate is some of the policing costs will fall on the shoulders of event organizers and in some cases the city will be required to foot the bill.

In total, there are 1,200 events planned in celebration of Canada’s 150th year, at various times and locations – only 25 of those are considered major by the police force.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said she’s concerned about getting enough officers to sign on for paid security detail.

It’s been tough this year to find bodies to deal with road detours because of construc-

tion, she said.

Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the issue is on “his radar” and wanted members to know that this isn’t a typical construction year, as it was the start of the construction of the LRT Confederation Line.

Police have developed a risk assessment tool for all events, based on location, the history of the organizers, the expected number of attendees and a whole host of other factors that McKenna said will help police figure out required staffing levels.

For events such as the Grey Cup, Ottawa police can look to what’s been done in other municipalities.

Ottawa 2017, the not-forprofit bureau that’s planning the birthday celebrations, confirmed in August that it has raised external funds to be used to pay for security costs, but haven’t released a business plan as of yet.

Interested persons are encouraged to review this document and provide comments by October 31, 2016 to the project contacts listed below.

There are circumstances where the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change has the authority to require further consideration of the transit project, or impose conditions on it. The Minister may require further consideration or impose conditions if he is of the opinion that: • the transit project may have a negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that relates to the natural environment or has cultural heritage value or interest; or, • the transit project may have a negative impact on a constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty right.

Before exercising the authority referred to above, the Minister is required to consider any written objections to the transit project that he or she may receive within 30 days after the Notice of Completion of the Environmental Project Report is first published.

Mayor OK with status quo on French services Bilingualism group seeks to cement ‘distinct’ nature of capital

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

• Deliver Right In Your Own Neighbourhood • Papers Are Dropped Off At Your Door • Great Family Activity • No Collections • Thursday Deliveries

François Baril, a member of Bilingual Ottawa, is hoping Mayor Jim Watson will come around to the group’s proposal.

The group released survey results on Sept. 27 that suggests most Ottawans would be supportive of the city becoming officially bilingual.

A survey conducted by Nanos Research of a sample size of 750 showed that 54 per cent support the idea, and another 13 per cent somewhat support it.

The sample group was largely made up of anglophones, as 83 per cent of respondents were English speaking.

The Montfort Hospital, La Cité collégiale and two Frenchlanguage school boards sponsored the survey.

But Watson said the city’s existing policy is more than adequate.

After the Sept. 28 council meeting, Watson called the city’s level of bilingual service exceptional, and said the policy is enshrined in the Ottawa Act, established by the province when the city amalgamated in 2001.

“I don’t think every snow plow operator needs to be fluently bilingual,” Watson said, adding the city practices pragmatic bilingualism – using de-

Mayor Jim Watson said on Sept. 28 that he wouldn't support a change to the city's official bilingualism status. mographic information to ensure bilingual staff are where they need to be.

“We have many more fully bilingual staff that work in Vanier than we do in West Carleton, but you can get served in West Carleton in the language of your choice.”

But Baril said it’s comments like that which show the mayor isn’t clear on the group’s goals.

“I think our biggest barriers are misconceptions,” he said.

“We aren’t asking the city to do anything differently. We just want the city to enshrine the policy in a bylaw.”

Baril said the move would ensure that future councils would have to respect the level of service that’s currently offered.

“The way the Ottawa Act is worded, it just says Ottawa has to have a policy on bilingualism, which could be that French services are offered every other Wednesday in July. I am not worried about this mayor or council, but it would send an important message in 2017 about

the distinct nature of the capital,” he said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’s worked with the group on a compromise he thinks can be palatable to other councillors.

He’s not interested in the issue being a divisive debate, and he won’t bring it up for a vote unless he has the support of 17 councillors.

Baril said there are about a dozen or more councillors on board and the group will continue to meet with everyone to make their case.

The Montfort Hospital and the University of Ottawa have publicly supported the initiative.

“The management team of Hôpital Montfort wholeheartedly supports the Bilingual Ottawa initiative,” Suzanne Clément, president of the board of trustees for the hospital wrote in a press release. “We invite the municipal government to recognize, as soon as possible, the bilingualism of the national capital.”

Remodel for maximum ROI with these top projects (MS) — By Scott McGillivray

A

s a contractor and real estate expert, I am often asked by homeowners for advice on the best projects for their remodeling dollars. While it’s important to first consider the purpose of the remodel (is it for yourself, for resale, or as part of an income-generating suite?), there are some remodels that have proven to be reliable investments over time. Some of these include:

Kitchens and bathrooms. Remodels here top the list. Highend finishes, like marble and quartz countertops and stainless steel or commercial grade appliances, are greatly coveted.

Clever storage is desirable, along with home automation –– a new and growing trend.

Bathrooms. This one is simple. The hottest bathrooms right now aim to replicate a spa-like experience. From color and accessories to scents and lighting, transforming this room into a relaxation haven will maximize its appeal.

Basements. Basement remodels are among the best ways to gain space without going the route of a costly addition, but the key is doing it right. Address moisture issues first, and hire professionals for plumbing, electrical and mechanical work. Insulate with a water-repellant insulation made from inorganic materials to improve energy efficiency, and then focus on the finishes.

Smaller fixes. Know that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to realize a good return. Can’t afford a full-out kitchen or bathroom remodel? Consider painting walls and cabinets, replacing outdated hardware or fixtures and installing new lighting for an impactful refresh. When it comes to living spaces, it’s amazing what a splash of color, some new flooring, carefully selected accessories and strategic lighting can do for the look and feel of a room. Save a little extra by doing it yourself. With a positive attitude and some elbow grease, you can make a big difference with projects that require low to moderate know-how.

Insulation. Installing, topping up or replacing insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase energy efficiency and save money over the life of your home. For exterior walls, basements headers, cathedral ceilings, and attics, I recommend a product called Roxul Comfortbatt stone wool insulation for exceptional thermal performance. For interior walls and between floors, I’m a big fan of Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound for its excellent sound dampening qualities. Both products are fire resistant up to 2,150°F, resistant to mold and mildew, and Greenguard-certified to the highest level for air quality.

Brighten your home with indirect LED lighting Hidden light sources are the perfect idea for any lighting design project in your home. Whether it’s under beds, along baseboards or above cabinets, flexible, indirect LED lighting strips can be installed virtually anywhere you want. These light emitting diodes are a great alternative to direct overhead lighting and they’ll provide any room with warmth and character.

SHED SOME NEW LIGHT The traditional use of direct overhead lighting can feel cold and sterile. What’s more, the glare from these lights is rarely forgiving when it comes to your home’s blemishes and imperfections. LED strips, on the other hand, are easily installed, use very little energy and have a very long lifespan. They’re also perfect when looking to add a calming atmosphere or creative flair to a given room.

Here are a few ideas to inspire you for your next lighting project. Place LED strips:

• Under beds, couches or even the edge of a podium bath • Under or above your kitchen cabinets • Under the shelves in your office • Around your deck or pool • In the cab interior of your RV A BEAUTIFUL GLOW Unlike their compact fluorescent counterparts, LED bulbs give off a warm glow and virtually no glare. Tailored to indoor lighting, they evenly distribute the light to help bathe the room in soft and welcoming colours. This will help make the room feel bigger and will bring out any stylish architectural elements you may have.

The inspired new look of ceramic tiles Ceramic tiles are the ideal choice in flooring if you’re looking for something that’s durable, easy to clean and suited to any design style. Available in a wide selection of sizes, shapes, colours, textures and patterns, ceramic tiles are the perfect complement to any room in your house. Here are three types that might make you think differently about flooring.

1. A WOODSY FEEL Thanks to innovative, high-definition designs, ceramic flooring manufacturers can reproduce the natural look and warmth of real wood floors.

Faux wood tiles closely mimic the look of hardwood flooring such as bamboo, redwood and even distressed wood.

They’re perfect for rooms traditionally too humid for hardwood flooring, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

have even gone as far as adding texture to the tiles, giving them a remarkably raw and unfinished look.

3. CAPTIVATING PATTERNS Today’s ceramic tiles come in array of different designs and patterns to please even the most eclectic and eccentric of tastes. With so many varieties in colours and patterns, the possibilities are endless as to just how unique your floor can be.

The secret to hanging wallpaper Would you love to cover the walls of a room with some beautiful wallpaper, but you’re worried about hanging it? It is true that this type of wall covering requires a special technique — and lots of care. Here are a few tips for hanging wallpaper like a pro.

PREPARATION The first step is to ask someone to give you a hand, because it’s virtually impossible to do this alone.

After protecting the floor with plastic sheeting, prepare the surfaces properly.

• Wash and dry the walls.

• Sand uneven or rough areas; fill holes, if necessary.

• Apply a coat of wallpaper primer.

Once the primer is dry, use a level and draw plumb lines on the walls equivalent to the width of the wallpaper. You’ll find these very useful later on. Next, cut your first strip of paper, giving yourself five to ten centimetres extra as a margin for error.

2. A SLAB OF UNDERSTATED If you’re a fan of industrial style, you’ll love ceramic tiles that replicate the look of natural stone, cement or concrete floors. Certain manufacturers

Ceramic tiles are redefining the flooring industry.

HANGING When you’re ready to hang the first strip of wallpaper, apply it to the wall, following your plumb lines and leaving a few centimetres extra at both top and bottom. Using a smoothing brush, get rid of any air bubbles in a downward motion by brushing from the centre to the outer edges.

Before continuing with the next strip, trim the excess wallpaper from the top and bottom of the wall with a utility knife and remove excess paste with a damp sponge.

Before wetting the second strip of paper, position it next to the first strip, taking care to align the pattern with precision and mark where you need to cut it. Repeat the previous steps until the walls are completely covered.

There; that wasn’t so difficult, was it?

PRECAUTIONS There are several different types of wallpaper, so read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before you begin hanging. If you’re using pre-glued wallpaper, be careful; its stickiness tends to decrease when dipped in water for too long. According to experts, a good choice is wallpaper that has a textured back because it provides better adhesion.

Update your decor with elements of industrial interior design Industrial style has taken home decor stores, showrooms and retailers by storm in recent years. Characterized by its exposed pipes and bricks, wood and metal surfaces, and vintage furniture, this trend has brought an undeniable touch of flair to our homes.

Expose raw materials, pipes and electrical wires for an industrial style.

FAVOURITE AREAS IN YOUR HOUSE Industrial interior design typically lends itself well to living rooms and kitchens. Relax comfortably in an area outfitted with worn leather couches, iron shelving and decorative elements worthy of any respectable secondhand shop. Or prepare your meals surrounded by high metal stools, low-hanging pendant lights and big bay windows. Chances are this style will make its way to the rest of your home. Who knows, maybe you’ll finish your bathroom with exposed brick, or bare the support beams in your bedroom.

THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF INDUSTRIAL INTERIOR DESIGN This style replicates the utilitarian look of abandoned factories that were eventually converted into unique and creative living spaces. Emphasizing the use of materials from yesteryear, this trend incorporates industrial furniture, old hand-painted signs, worn couches, brick walls and ferrous metal to define its decor. In addition, building materials are exposed, windowpanes are huge, cement tiles cover both the floors and the walls, and electrical wires are visible — anything to reproduce that raw and unfini­ shed look.

THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF INDUSTRIAL STYLE Be sure to use the right materials in your design, such as weathered wood, metals like iron, zinc and copper, as well as brick and cement in their most basic form. Lighting is another priority, so be sure to install big windows that let in a lot of natural light as well as glare­free light fixtures.

Adding a basement to your home Digging down is a great way to add space and value to your home. However, when undertaking this type of renovation project, it’s always best to trust a foundation professional. They’ll build an addition or extend your existing crawl space to add an entirely new and functional basement to your home.

Once the soil, foundation and weight of your home have been assessed, a structural engineer can determine the best technique to use to construct the basement. Most single-family houses can be lifted using a hydraulic system and steel piles without causing damage or cracks to the structure. This method will increase the amount of natural lighting in your basement while reducing the risk of water infiltration.

Underpinning or lowering a basement might be

preferable for older homes with solid masonry construction. This approach involves digging under the existing foundation while shoring up the structure using adjustable support columns to lower the floor. While in itself an impressive sight, it’s important to know that underpinning is usually more expensive than simply lifting your home.

It’s important to be thorough when choosing the right licenced and experienced professional for your renovation. The foundation is the most important part of your home and any damage to it could affect its overall structural integrity.

So don’t hesitate to ask for a written estimate, references and guarantees when shopping around for the best contractor.

Digging down is a great way to add space and value to your home.

Thinking of adding a second storey to your home?

Building up is great way to add value to your home without sacrificing your outdoor space.

More importantly, though, this type of extension is the perfect solution if you want to increase the amount of available space in your home. You’ll be able to add bedrooms, an office, another bathroom or even an apartment, which you could rent without having to move.

Most homes are able to accommodate a second storey. Of course, before beginning any work whatsoever, make sure the zoning laws in your municipality permit this type of renovation. Once you’re given the green light, you’ll need to choose the right contractor for your project. Ideally, you’ll want to hire a professional to take care of the entire renovation from start to finish. This means

having someone on board for the consultation, evaluation, planning and construction of every little detail, such as the room layout, interior finishing and exterior siding. Having the right specialist by your side will allow you to continue living in your home without having to lift a finger during the project.

A second storey addition to your bungalow is nothing short of spectacular. It will add value to your home while making it far more spacious and visually stunning. If you want, you could even take this opportunity to redesign the ground floor to include a more functional kitchen or cathedral ceilings to maximize lighting. It’ll be like moving into a brand new home without having to leave your neighbourhood.

Adding a second storey to your home will have a stunning and lasting effect.

Seven tips for the ultimate walk-in closet What fashionista has never dreamed of owning her own walk-in closet? A spacious area for storing clothes, shoes and accessories will make even the most meticulous of people happy. Here are seven tips for creating an optimal layout in your walk-in.

1. Plan separate sections for each category of clothing: long dresses, business suits, casual wear, underwear, coats, etc.

2. Opt for short rather than long horizontal rods, as they are sturdier and will simplify your search for clothing.

3. Avoid overloading rods, drawers and shelves. If possible, sell or give away any clothing that you haven’t worn for at least a year.

4. Allow as much natural light as possible into the room, or install enough lighting to be able to distinguish the most subtle colours.

Who wants to realize — in the middle of

an important meeting — that his navy blue tie is actually black?

5. Make room for a chair or even an armchair and at least one full length mirror so you can check your outfit on the spot — and feel like a movie star in your own home.

7. If you’re a shoe addict, place your collection on a shelf or in open compartments in order to protect them.

You’ll also be able to find the perfect pair for your outfit with one quick glance.

6. Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the room, especially if it is located near a bathroom. You definitely don’t want to end up with mouldy clothes.

A walk-in designed with separate sections is much more practical.

How to find the perfect front door Is your front door damaged, rusted, defective or simply old-fashioned? If you’d like to replace it, just be sure not to buy one on the spur of the moment. Instead, take the time to choose a good-quality model that will enhance your home’s facade for years to come.

MATERIALS One thing’s for sure: you can’t buy a front door in the same way as you’d buy a basement or bedroom door. Front doors have to be visually appealing as well as very strong. You’ll find a wide range of models on the market made of different materials, either alone or in combination: • steel • fibreglass • wood • aluminum • PVC Each material has its own advantages. Specialized companies will be able to advise you about which ones are most suitable for your needs and your budget.

SOUGHT-AFTER QUALITIES When shopping for a front door, look for one that has the following characteristics: • shock resistant • good insulation and soundproofing • easy maintenance • enhanced security (solid locks and anchoring systems)

COLOURS AND GLAZING Manufacturers offer an impressive range of colours and finishes to make sure your front door looks great. However, be careful when choosing the glass for your front-door’s window, as it can make all the difference in terms of style. There are many possibilities, including square, rectangular, half-moon, circle, mosaic or stained glass.

PROFESSIONAL ADVICE When you’re shopping around for the perfect front door, ask a professional for advice. One good idea is to go shopping with a photo of the front of your house as well as the dimensions of the existing door opening. This will make it much easier for you to find a model that complements the style of your home.

CUSTOM-MADE Keep in mind that it is always wise to have your front door made to measure; this ensures that its fit, shape, colour and hardware are perfectly adapted to your home. Moreover, if you entrust the installation to experts, the result will be flawless.

A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT The front door is a major component of your home, so don’t skimp on quality. This investment of a few hundred — or even a few thousand — dollars could definitely add value to your property.

Avoiding renovationrelated injuries Your safety should always be your biggest priority when it comes to renovating your home. Being ill-equipped or unprepared can lead to many different types of injuries, particularly in the hands, knees, elbows, shoulders and back. That’s why it’s extremely important to be cautious when it comes to DIY renovations.

COMMON CAUSES OF INJURIES Injuries occurring during home renovations are caused by a variety of factors, including: • Lifting heavy materials combined with a lack of help • Making uncoordinated or erratic movements • Fatigue and exhaustion caused by a lack of breaks • A workspace that’s too restrictive • Inexperience using certain tools PREVENT ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING Always keep the areas where you’re wor king free of clutter. Corridors, hallways and the areas around scaffolding should be clear of any equipment, materials or debris. Always wear protective gloves and steel-toed boots while working, and make sure your workspace has adequate lighting.

Gio Lastly, take frequent breaks to avoid over-exerting yourself; a few minutes’ rest here and there will help in avoiding careless mistakes.

ACT FAST IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT Despite our best efforts, mishaps can still occur. That’s why it’s important to take the necessary measures in the event of an injury. If you’ve cut yourself, apply direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth while keeping the injury raised above your

head. If it’s a deep and serious wound, go to the emergency room right away. For any eye-related injury, a simple rinse using water should do the trick. However, seek medical attention immediately should a foreign object become lodged in your eye. In the event of an amputation (a finger, for example), contain the blee ding first and then contact emergency services. If at all possible, roll the cut appendage in a moist cloth, place it a sealable bag and put it on ice.

Via Rail celebrates with $20M facelift

By Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

In an effort to make the Tremblay Road train station more accessible to passengers with mobility issues, Via Rail announced a $20-million facelift on Sept. 29.

The day also marked the 50th birthday of the station.

“It’s an architectural gem,” said Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, the president and CEO of Via. “We are very proud to make it our home in the capital and like most things at 50 years old, it’s time for a makeover.”

The work will begin this fall and will run for a year – though Desjardins-Siciliano said every effort will be made to minimize the impact on passengers going through the station as there is expected to be an increase in traffic to the capital for the 2017 Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.

One of the key components of the station makeover will be an elevated and heated passenger platform, along with the installation of elevators in the rotunda.

The elevators will provide access to the tunnel and boarding systems.

There will also be a new electrical room and an upgrade to electrical systems.

An additional $1.7 million will be spent on partial roof renovations and other station improvements.

Those funds will come from the federal funding for infrastructure announced in the 2016 budget.

David McGuinty, MP for Ottawa South, said the move to increase the number of departures to Toronto to a total of nine trips is sound given the growing populations of Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Gatineau.

“We are becoming a big region … and this train station is becoming a big part of our transportation system,” he said.

McGuinty said investments in rail are part of the federal government’s greenhouse reduction strategy.

“This is a really important moment for us as we anchor down with light rail and commuter service,” he said.

McGuinty said he’s working “hand and glove” with the mayor about extending the light rail to the airport and Trim Road.

Yves Desjardins-Siciliano said having level boarding is a “modern approach.”

“In one year we will be in a position to offer our clients a completely new experience,” he said. “Once the renovations are complete, our facilities will be more accessible and mobility with the station as well as boarding and disembarking from our trains will be easier for everyone.”

Desjardins-Siciliano added that there are plans to cover all four tracks as part of a second phase of renovations, but that work likely won’t take place before 2020.

Audrey more than earned her quarter for this duty

O

*Metroland distribution area. Source: BrandSpark International Survey 2016. Story credit: simcoe.com

ld Herman was there again to make another plea to Mother.

Herman was a bachelor who lived alone in a hut of a house, deep in the bush off the Northcote Side Road.

Mother was only in his house once. She said that was enough to last her a lifetime.

The first time Old Herman came to Mother with a request was to ask her do to his laundry once a week, a job, he said, that would pay handsomely.

Those were his exact words. Well, money was scarce and any chance Mother had to make a few extra dollars was not to be ignored.

Old Herman arrived with his laundry in a couple grain bags and after tub after tub of boiling hot water and lots of sliv-

MARY COOK Memories ered soap, the water was still black as your boot.

Mother got out of that deal in a hurry.

This time he came to see if my sister Audrey would be interested in making a few a bits of cash to tidy up his house because his sister was coming to visit and he didn’t think she would be too impressed with what she would find.

Poor Audrey was never part of the discussion.

Mother said she was sure she would be up to the

job of putting his house in shape. Goodness knows she had lots of experience with housework in our house.

Audrey wasn’t too impressed, but the thought of earning a whole dollar for a day’s work won her over and off she went with old Herman in his buggy on a Saturday morning.

That meant most of the chores that day fell onto my shoulders.

Well, the morning wasn’t half over when I saw

Audrey walking down our long lane at such a clip I thought she may have seen a bear. She slammed into the kitchen, her face beet red from the long walk from Old Herman’s farm and with a violent bang, she slapped a quarter on the kitchen table. “I quit,” she roared.

Mother stopped stirring whatever she was stirring on the stove and just looked at Audrey, as if she had never laid eyes on her before in her life. “You quit?” I had my eyes on the quarter.

“That’s right,” Audrey said. “I could hardly get in the door for garbage.

Did you know he keeps his baby pigs in a box beside the stove? The smell would knock you over. And the dirty dishes were stacked sky-high and just about covered the table. I took one look at the greasy pans

on the stove and knew it would take an army to clean up the place.”

She paused for a breath of air. “As soon as I walked in the door, he handed me that quarter and said he was going to the barn to do chores and he would pay me the rest when he came in for his dinner, which he expected me to make, too.”

Listening to Audrey was like watching a movie at the O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew. I was sure Mother would lace into her for quitting a job. Mother hated quitters.

But she just listened and made the occasional clucking sound and nodded as Audrey described the hut Old Herman lived in.

Finally, even though the day wasn’t half over and being a Saturday and all, which meant it was bath night, Audrey asked

Mother if she would mind if she had her bath then and there. Mother filled the old oval tub with water from the reservoir, Audrey stripped right there in the kitchen, threw her clothes out into the woodshed and sunk into the warm water.

If Audrey had stayed the full day and came home with a whole dollar, it was understood that it would be handed over to Mother.

As Audrey scrubbed herself raw with the face cloth and soap, Mother patted the quarter on the kitchen table, and said, “You can keep the quarter. Goodness knows you’ve earned it.”

Dravet walk raises more than $50K for research Funds to help local CHEO research team

BY Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

More than $50,000 raised from the fifth annual Dravet Walk for the Kids in Constance Bay will help a team of researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Mandy McKnight, organizer of the grassroots fundraising event and mother of Liam, heard about a potential research project at CHEO last year and reached out to the team. Liam, 8, has Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that causes dozens of seizures per day.

“We have an amazing opportunity here with the walk and

decided we would like to direct the proceeds, if possible, to local research,” said McKnight.

“CHEO is an amazing hospital, and when you have a child with a life-threatening condition, the hospital and staff really becomes a huge part of your family life. We really wanted to find a way to give back to the local community, which has given us so much over the past eight years. I also believe that gives local researchers an amazing opportunity to get noticed on the world stage in respect to Dravet syndrome research.”

Dr. David Dyment, a clinician and investigator at CHEO who studies rare diseases, is leading the CHEO research team, which is working on mice with Dravet syndrome to find best treatments that may work in humans.

“A cure would be wonderful,” he said. “But finding treatments to deal with seizures will give people with Dravet syn-

drome a better quality of life.”

In Ottawa there are less than 20 youths diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, he said. Having a connection to the families keeps the researchers accountable and focused.

“It’s really important,” he said. “They’re driving everything for the research. We’re just doing our best to come up with answers.”

DRAVET WALK

This year’s Dravet Walk for the Kids, held on Oct. 1, saw 19 teams register and 373 people participate. Liam’s Army – the group that started it all five years ago – had a record 171 members and raised more than $13,000 towards the total.

Liam’s dad Dave said the walk just gets better every year and the family is grateful for the community’s support.

Some of those who couldn’t attend the event in person also

“My brother hosted a walk in Torbay, Newfoundland, that saw 45 people attend,” she said.

“This has been our most successful year yet for attendance.”

The current tally has funds raised sitting at more than $50,000, and donations are still coming in, she added.

In five years, the local West Carleton walk has raised al-

most $250,000.

“Dravet syndrome is a rare disease (and) we do not get any funding whatsoever from any level of government,” said Mandy. “All monies raised through events like the walk are all grassroots-driven by families and friends of children who are afflicted by this terrible disease.”

The Dravet Walk for the Kids, which features a threekilometre family walk in Con-

stance Bay, is the only event of its type in Ottawa and draws participants from across the city and province.

“It is an absolute honour to plan this event for our Dravet kids and their families every year and we are often emotional and speechless every year with the support we get from everyone especially the local community,” said Mandy. “We could not do it without you.”

Unique fashion show highlights Ottawa’s artsy side Kanata, Barrhaven organizers create artisan show with a twist

BY Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ever flipped through a magazine, or watched a fashion show on television and thought – I want that?

Well, a fashion show in Ottawa will offer its guests just that – the ability to purchase exactly what the model is wearing – only moments after they saw it.

Art in Fashion 613 is this different type of fashion show that will take place on Oct. 15 at the Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington St., starting at 6 p.m.

It is not just a fashion show. The evening offers the combination of a fashion show, a meet and greet with designers and an artisan market all in one.

Kym Brown of Bombshell Revival Designs and Rene Trim from Creative Ottawa partnered to create the show last year as a way to showcase that art can be fashion and fashion can be art.

“I’m hoping that this event will change people's mind, that fashion is art,” Brown said. “Fashion is a statement about yourself and that is an art form.”

Considering it was their first time trying something different last year, Brown said the show seemed to resonate with people.

At last year’s inaugural event, Brown said nearly 300

people attended – many of which asked her when her next show would be held.

And pretty much since the curtain fell on the October 2015 show, Brown has heard from multiple vendors, designers and shoppers about when show No. 2 would take place.

Laughing, Brown added, the first four tickets to this year’s event were sold in April.

“There has been some great buzz, we are very proud of it,” Brown said.

The evening includes food, sweets and a night

ing, sculpture, jewelry and clothing that were picked to fit with the art and fashion theme of the event.

The key to the event, Brown said, is to make it easy for guests to shop and enjoy looking at the designs – which is why, this fashion show also has no stage to speak of.

“Last year we had a stage, with the fashion show first and the night market followed, but what we found was many people left as soon as the show was over,” Brown said.

This year, Brown said they

market, where local artisans will be selling their wares.

Also up for sale will be every design seen during the fashion show.

“That was a must – all designers must have their designs available for sale,” Brown said.

A designer herself, Brown said she has heard many times her designs are wearable pieces of art – and she said that is always what she has aspired to do – create pieces that people can wear, but admire too.

The designers will be set up in a special section in the market, as well there will be a total of 30 artisan vendors from varying areas of artistic expression – paint-

“The models will be weaving through the guests,” Brown said.

This way, Brown said, shoppers will be able to see a design and then walk right over to the designer.

Meat eaters versus the vegetarians/vegans

BY AL COLDHAM AND JAKE COLE

Meat eaters versus vegetarians/vegans – who wins?

If you have read any of our previous health articles, you can guess at the answer to this question. We certainly think the veggie crowd wins and many well-referenced studies provide the same answer.

Here’s a recent one.

In October 2015 the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization, released its report on meat consumption.

It was not good news to the human carnivores among us.

Here are excerpts from their press release: • After thoroughly reviewing the accumulated scientific literature, a working group of 22 experts from 10 countries classified the consumption of red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans.

• The association was observed mainly for colorectal cancer, but associations were also seen for pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer. Processed meat was classified as carcinogenic to humans, based on sufficient evidence

and processed meat in many countries and populations with diverse diets.

There are a lot more sources with the same bottom line.

The noted author Michael Greger MD, highlights many in his recent best-seller book,

Why does it take so long for the public to react to the truth? Perhaps it is the “It won’t happen to me” attitude.

in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer.

• The working group considered more than 800 studies that investigated associations of more than a dozen types of cancer with the consumption of red meat

64 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, October 6, 2016

How Not to Die. For example, he references a 10-year study following the health outcomes of over 500,000 people, the NIH-AARP study. It basically states that meat consumption is associated with “dying prematurely in general.”

But is anyone paying attention? Despite WHO’s announcement, will meat eaters as a whole change their meat eating habits? And if they do, how long will it take for significant drops in consumption to show up on the radar? And what about the meat and dairy industries?

Will they just take this information lying down?

The history of cigarette smoking provides a useful parallel.

Based on this experience, it is likely we will witness a decline in meat consumption, albeit a gradual one. In January 1964 the U.S. surgeon general’s report on smoking was released, reviewing more than 7,000 research articles then conclusively relating smoking to disease. What happened then?

Public attitudes about smoking and its adverse health effects were very slow to change. In fact, as reported in The Health Consequences of Smoking – 50 Years of Progress, by the surgeon general, it was stated “in 1964, more than one half of men and nearly onethird of women were regular smokers; it took approximately 15 years for rates of smoking among men to drop by one-quarter or more.”

Fifteen years!

Today about 15 per cent of the population are regular smokers. I guess we can really say that after 52 years, old habits really do die hard!

Why does it take so long for the public to react to the truth? Perhaps it is the “It won’t happen to me” attitude. Perhaps it’s the long lag between eventual sickness and consuming harmful food or smoking cigarettes.

Without such immediate symptoms of disease, this fools people into believing they are safe. Or after hearing the news and feeling somewhat guilty, they look everywhere for good news about their bad habits. And, thanks to the meat industry and other vested interest and lobby groups, they do not have to look too far.

These groups are quite happy to supply a lot of arguments on why it is benefi-

cial to eat red and processed meats (and indeed there are some benefits but it is just that the risks far outweigh them).

Today, after 52 years since the surgeon general’s announcement, most people acknowledge that smoking causes cancer. But despite this acknowledgment, millions of people still smoke and likely always will as long as the government allows tobacco production. Now decades after the surgeon general’s report, we finally have warning labels on cigarette packaging. Perhaps, in less time, the government will catch up with meat and processed meats and force similar warning labels on red and processed meats. multiple risks

Consider that the bad rap against cigarette smoking doesn’t end with its cancer link announced in 1964. We can see this at the American Lung Association website where they list 10 of the most gruesome diseases smoking causes in addition to lung cancer among them COPD, stroke, asthma and heart disease. And now, similarly, the bad rap against meat eating does not end with its scientifically confirmed cancer link.

Because meat is high in fat, high in cholesterol and di-

etary acid, its consumption has also been linked to heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity (just to name a few).

So what to do to achieve improved health outcomes?

Reduce or eliminate red meat consumption and other high cholesterol foods and move toward eating a whole food plant-based diet. Why? Because there is plenty of strong evidence all pointing in the same direction to suggest that a whole food, plantbased diet can help and even reverse some of the top diseases in the Western world.

We could go on arguing the case but instead we simply suggest that people just try it.

Only you can decide if reducing or eliminating meat consumption is a great idea.

But the science, at least the unbiased version, already tells us the answer.

One final piece of advice: Be aware that not all plantbased food is healthy food.

Our attached cartoon makes that point.

In our next article, we will look at a related issue: how to eat healthy without meat and still get all the required nutrients and protein.

Councillors call for changes to Ontario Municipal Board Either change it, or abolish it, letter says

BY Jennifer McIntosh

Jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Six Ottawa councillors are calling for large-scale changes to the Ontario Municipal Board.

A letter from the six councillors – sent as part of a review process by the provincial government – calls on Queen’s Park to either allow municipalities with their own in-house planning departments to opt out of the process. Failing that, they’d like to see the board abolished. The OMB is a provincial board that can be used by developers and by residents to overturn municipal planning decisions.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper was the instigator – though the letter also bears the signatures of Couns.

Catherine McKenney, Riley Brockington, David Chernushenko, Tobi Nussbaum and Mathieu Fleury.

Leiper said that his work with the Hintonburg Community Association high-

‘We should be setting our own policies, but we often second guess a decision because of a potential appeal and how much that might cost us.’

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper

lighted the need for reform.

“It some cases (the OMB) can be stacked against residents,” he said, adding you have to present witnesses and experts – often with a hefty price tag.

“In cases when community members seek to engage the board as participants, their testimony is given less weight than the expert planners and lawyers engagement by developers,” the letter reads.

River Coun. Riley Brockington said the experience can be daunting for the average resident and the aim would just be to level the playing field.

Mayor Jim Watson said that while there’s room for reform, he wouldn’t want to see the board abolished.

“There has to be a mechanism for judicial review of decisions by the city,” he said.

For questions of legalities, Leiper agreed, but said Ottawa is well equipped to handle its own planning and official plan policies. Leiper said he sees the city making too many decisions based on a potential appeal to the OMB. “We should be setting our own policies, but we often second guess a decision be-

cause of a potential appeal and how much that might cost us,” he said.

Leiper said reform could include a recognition of cities that have their own inhouse planning staff.

Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said OMB reform is an important issue.

“As the MPP for Ottawa Centre, I held consultations to hear how the OMB could better serve the needs of our community,” Naqvi wrote in an email.

“Now as the attorney general, I am very pleased to be able to make meaningful progress on this issue.”

Naqvi thanked the councillors for their input.

“I look forward to updating them, my constituents and all Ontarians very soon on our public consultations,” he said.

Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services opens doors

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

What’s in a name, you ask?

A name, for example, such as Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services, a new full-service mental health clinic that has opened on Iber Road in Stittsville.

Well, for starters, it’s a name that you won’t find anywhere else because it’s a name that Saterra’s founders and co-directors Dr. Vanessa Illing and Dr. Davina Bakerman created.

Yes, that’s right – they made it up.

Dr. Bakerman says that they wanted to find just the right name for their new group psychological and counselling practice, one that would reflect health, wellness and balance.

So they turned to Latin for inspiration and created a totally new word, Saterra, which has not existed before, has no prior connotations and is easy to pronounce.

And does this matter, you may ask?

Well, if such innovation and creativity can be shown in just naming this clinic, then there’s a good chance that same innovative, creative thinking will prevail in the daily work that goes on there.

Indeed, just establishing this full

service psychological mental health clinic in Stittsville is somewhat innovative and creative, perhaps even revolutionary, because most such clinics are located downtown in the city core, requiring suburban and rural residents to commute there for treatment and therapy.

“We chose Stittsville for Saterra mainly because it has been desperately underserviced and we believe in the absolute necessity of making quality psychological services more easily accessible to those living in Stittsville, Kanata, Barrhaven and the surrounding Ottawa Valley,” says co-director and psychologist Dr. Bakerman.

She said that people want quality psychological and mental health care but they need it to be convenient.

Co-director and psychologist Dr. Illing agreed, saying that by establishing the clinic in Stittsvlle, she and Dr. Bakerman are taking the barrier of travel away from those who need the help that the clinic can provide.

“Our vision was to replicate the larger, full-service practices you would find in downtown Ottawa for the growing but neglected west suburban areas,” Dr. Illing added.

New clinic offers bright space for clients Continued from page 66

And the reaction of physicians in the area to having this Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services clinic in the area has been positive.

“I think it’s helpful for physicians in our area to be able to refer patients to top notch services close to home, making it more likely for their patients to access the treatment they need,” Dr. Bakerman says.

And the Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services clinic offers clients not only mental health and psychological services delivered by highly skilled professionals but also this happens in a somewhat unique environment as their second storey office location on Iber Road features lots of windows which let in the sunlight and which open up exterior views of trees and greenery. Dr. Bakerman notes that environment plays a huge role in how a person feels and so if the office space can be bright with lots of natural light and with windows that open up the scenic exterior to the viewer, then there is a good chance that it will be a comfortable spot both for staff and for those being treated.

And the individual rooms feature

comfortable furniture, soothing wall colours and a certain spaciousness. It is not austere and clinic-like.

Dr. Illing and Dr. Bakerman both confirm that Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services will continue to grow to meet the needs of the community as they become apparent.

They will try to attract associates who can provide the services that the community needs. If a certain need becomes apparent based on referrals or input from others, the clinic will try to attract an associate who can meet that need.

But right now the clinic can meet the demands for most services. As a full-service mental health clinic offering clients quality, evidencebased mental health services, Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services can help in areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships and couples, stress and work related stress, managing and tolerating emotions, adjustment issues, life transitions, sleep disorders behavioural problems, eating disorders and body image, self-esteem, parenting, grief or loss, return to work planning and health and chronic illness. Saterra also offers a full range of assessments including psychoeducational

assessments to identify learning difficulties or giftedness, psychovocational assessments to help for work planning and employment success, ADHD assessments, and psychodiagnostic assessments. Saterra also offers therapy services including individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy.

Dr. Illing and Dr. Bakerman attended graduate school together, discovering that they both had the same vision for providing psychological and mental health services. They had similar views about clinic care and an approach to therapy. This led to them deciding to get together and establish and build such a practice. And this is what they are doing with Saterra Psycholoigical & Counselling Services. Current associates working with Drs. Illing and Bakerman at Saterra include Dr. Elisabeth Melsom who is a clinical psychologist, social worker Tina Carby and Jennifer Mariasine, who is a therapist and a doctoral candidate in school and clinical and child psychology.

On Thursday, Sept. 29, Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services held an open house at its 120 Iber Road premises at which visitors received tours of the premises, were

provided with information about available mental health and psychological resources, were able to meet Drs. Illing and Bakerman and their associates and got to enjoy food and refreshments. In addition, there was a draw for several gift baskets.

The open house also featured an official ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the opening of the new clinic.

Drs. Illing and Bakerman both used scissors to cut a green ribbon which was stretched across the entrance door to the clinic.

In her remarks at the ribbon cutting, Dr. Bakerman said that she and Dr. Illing were glad to be opening their clinic in the Stittsville/Kanata area and expressed happiness at the spacious premises which had been found.

She also thanked the associates for joining in this new clinic.

The website for Saterra can be found at www.saterra.ca. More information can be obtained by calling 613-831-8181 or emailing info@ saterra.ca. Clients can self-refer by calling or emailing.

Saterra Psychologicial & Counselling Services is located at 120 Iber Road, Suite 208 in Stittsville. There’s plenty of free parking on the site. Sa-

terra is providing psychological and mental health services to those in the Stittsville, Kanata, Barrhaven, west Ottawa and Ottawa Valley areas.

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, it is time to be on the lookout for fresh financial opportunities. Set new goals for yourself, and put your finances at the top of your priority list.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, don’t bother attracting people through false advertising. Instead, be authentic and you will find you garner much more attention and adoration.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, the universe is trying to send you cues this week. But you will only receive these cues if you keep your eyes and ears open. Things may not be what they seem.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you want others to open up, you have to start the conversation by sharing something from your heart as well. Make an effort to be more open in the days ahead.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this week you have the strength and motivation to accomplish your goals. You will sigh with relief when everything gets accomplished on time and in order.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 This week you have a green light to spoil yourself, Virgo. It isn’t something you do often, so let loose a little bit and splurge on some luxuries.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a dear friend or relative could use your support right about now.

Offer a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry on so this special person knows you’re there to help.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, make an effort to be a social butterfly in the week ahead. This will quench your thirst to be around others this week. Don’t be afraid to reconnect with old friends.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this is a great week to establish a financial strategy that fits into your lifestyle. If this involves revisiting your professional ambitions, then so be it.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, don’t be afraid to shake things up a bit this week. You may not have time to mince words, so don’t hesitate to get to the point. Others will appreciate your candor.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s time to be your own teacher and become an expert in any subject you desire, Aquarius. Start doing your research and you may be surprised at the discoveries.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week you might start seeing a platonic pal in a more amorous way. The affinity you share may be the foundation for a great relationship 1006
