Kanata woman helps Gloucester school

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Sometimes one neighbourhood or a few crossstreets does not define a community.

Sometimes, the reach of just one or two individuals defines a community.

This was indeed the case for Carson Grove Elementary School and as it would

happen, a Kanata woman.

Kanata resident, Sheema Khan met the school’s principal Irene Cameron thanks to an open letter from another part of the city -- the Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee for Barrhaven and KnoxdaleMerivale, Donna Blackburn.

Kanata artist is viewers’ choice

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Kanata artist Wendy Quirt was the winner of this year’s viewers’ choice award at the West Carleton Arts Society’s Expressions of Art fall exhibition and sale.

Quirt’s acrylic painting of a grizzly bear, titled Quiet Reflection, was voted the winner by show attendees over the Thanksgiving long weekend.

“It was a nice surprise; you never

know what’s going to happen,” said Quirt, who lives in Katimavik.

A potential buyer who fell in love with the painting contacted Quirt after the show.

“Her husband and daughter saw it at the show,” said Quirt. “She said she loves it.”

The painting is the result of a research trip to B.C. Quirt took with her husband last summer.

“Every possible amazing creature you hope to see we did see,” she said.

“On our last day we headed to

Knight Inlet to see the grizzlies. It didn’t take too long before we spotted our first … There was such beauty in this setting with the morning light streaming in through the trees and the grizzlies contently munching away on the sedge grasses, patiently waiting for the salmon to arrive.

I wanted to show the soft side of these powerful grizzlies and share JUDI MILLER/SUBMITTED this peaceful moment though my Kanata artist Wendy Quirt and her acrylic painting of a grizzly bear painting.”

“He’s just a fantastic teacher and painter but also a naturalist as well. He’s had a huge impact on my career and my other teachers’ careers as well.”

The weekend art show was well attend-

The art society’s competition theme was “homage” and artists were asked to create a piece of work that paid tribute “to an artist, writer (or) musician by using their style or ideas,” said a press release from the art society.

“It was a very interesting selection this year, ranging from a number of artists who honoured Tom Thompson with extremely different renditions,” said the art society.

Others paid respect Picasso, musician Miles Davis and potter Cindy Ginter.

New coffee shop brewing in north Kanata Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The idea of a Bridgehead coffee shop is brewing in north Kanata.

The coffee company is seeking to construct a standalone one-storey building on the south end of the existing Kanata Mews lot, across from the Metro grocery store.

The Kanata Mews development currently has two, twostorey buildings in its complex and houses a pharmacy, home building store, a pub and a crepes and café shop, among others.

Bridgehead submitted a site plan application to the city on Oct. 4 for a 370 square-metre, three unit building with an outdoor patio area.

“The exterior design of the

building will be inspired by Bridgehead’s standard elevations with features including prefinished charcoal and dark cherry panels, slim-line canopies and high windows,” says the proposal summary.

The coffee company will be the prime tenant; no other business names have been put forward for the two rental units.

Access to the site will remain through the existing entrances on March Road and Steacie Drive.

The city’s target date for a decision on the application is Nov. 19. Comments will be accepted until Nov. 1 and can be submitted by email to john. bernier@ottawa.ca or phone 613-580-2424 ext. 21576. More information on the proposal is available online at Ottawa.ca/ devapps.

6 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, October 20, 2016

A federal offender known to frequent Ottawa and Gatineau is now being hunted by police for being unlawfully at large.

Officers with the OPP’s Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement Squad are now turning to the public for help in tracking down Jordan Land, 30, who is the subject of a Canada-wide warrant.

He may still be in the National Capital Region.

“He has family in Gatineau actually and the offences occurred in both Ottawa and Gatineau,” said Det.-Const.

Steve Sermet, ROPE Squad

spokesperson.

Land walked away from an Ottawa halfway house on Oct. 6 with a little more than two weeks left to serve out the rest of his two-year sentence, which was to be completed on Oct. 23.

He was convicted in 2014 for causing a riot, possession of a scheduled substance for the purpose of trafficking, as well as mischief. Land was released to a halfway house on Feb. 23 of this year.

The federal offender is described as an aboriginal male, six-foot-one and 189 pounds. He has black hair.

Police do not believe Land could be armed and dangerous.

Anyone with details about

JORDAN LAND Land’s whereabouts is asked to call the ROPE Squad at 1-866-7673 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Money to help fund noon and after-school activities, field trips Continued from page 1

Blackburn had put a call out for help for the school.

The request acknowledged its growing need as more and more Syrian refugee students started walking through its doors.

Khan said responding to the letter – and the school’s needs – was natural.

“It touched a nerve. I think it touched a nerve inside of everyone,” Khan said. “It’s kids. You obviously want to help.”

Khan reached out to her local mosque, the Kanata Muslim Association and asked if they could help raise money for the school.

Imam Sikander Ziad Hashmi said it was one of the easiest fundraisers they ever held.

“We raised $6,000 and all it took was an announcement from Sheema that they needed help,” Hashmi said.

“When Sheema came to me that made me realize there was a real opportunity to help that these students are our next generation of leaders.”

Blackburn herself, Cameron added managed to raise $3,000 for the school last spring.

And it did not stop with just one mosque.

In total, the United Muslims Organizations Ottawa and Gatineau raised $23,000 for students in need, handing

over $12,000 to Carson Grove Elementary and $11,000 to be dispersed for other schools with a need in the city.

On Oct. 12, the Education Foundation of Ottawa accepted those cheques from all the area mosque Imams at the school.

“I’m truly amazed and touched by the way the community has come together to support the school,” Cameron said.

ming the school could offer.

“Where ever I go I network and reach out to people to see if they can help,” Cameron said.

“I talk to them and tell them about the school and my students.

Cameron has been the principal at the school for five years now, and in the past has filled out grant applications to fill in the gaps for school supplies, playground up-

“We are going to have a need for a long time. I think this money will help with that for the next few years.”

IRENE CAMERON PRINCIPAL

MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

The school began to notice an influx of Syrian refugee students at the start of April, after many families settled in nearby apartments and homes.

A small school, with at the time, only 200 students, Carson Grove Elementary School grew to 310 students and the school’s principal Irene Cameron said they were managing by using up more classroom space, and eventually asking the board for more teachers.

In total, the school received 110 Syrian refugee students and since that time Cameron said every chance she got, she would advocate for her students and the lack of activities and program-

grades and school activities.

Cameron said the $12,000 will go a long way, and won’t necessarily be spent all at once or in big chunks.

“We are going to have a need for a long time,” Cameron said.

“I think this money will help with that for the next few years.”

A school with no parent council set up to raise money and now at capacity – with the addition of three school portables, Cameron said that aside from spending wisely, the money will also offer the students at the school the opportunity to go on field trips, concerts, work on science projects and special activities.

Carson Grove Elementary School principal Irene Cameron and Kanata resident Sheema Khan worked together to help raise much-needed funds for the east-end school. Thanks to their hard work, on Oct. 12, the United Muslims Organizations Ottawa and Gatineau handed over cheques for $23,000 to the Education Foundation of Ottawa for students in need. Carson Grove Elementary will receive $12,000 of the money raised.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Sooner than later would be better

A

long with the much-ballyhooed lightrail tunnel being built under downtown, another tunnel is planned.

It will one day hold water from large storms so it is not simply dumped – sewage and all – into the Ottawa River.

The plans for this giant holding tank – the most important bit of the Ottawa River Action Plan – have been on the drawing board for far too long.

The city has the cash from other levels of government to start work, and we hope to see that work started as soon as possible.

The background: the older parts of the city have pipes that carry both sewage from homes and storm water from the streets.

When a big storm hits, the combined water is more than our sewage treatment plant can handle, and the overflow has to go somewhere. Today that somewhere is the Ottawa River.

When the storage tunnel is complete, it is designed to hold the massive inflow of water and let it flow to the treatment system at a controlled rate.

In a perfect world, the system would see all the

combined pipes separated, so sewage is treated and rain water is sent straight to the river.

But the cost of that work would be even more than the $62 million earmarked for the holding tunnel.

It will be money well spent.

It will mean the river will be cleaner and some beaches downstream will be swimmable more days each year. But it won’t be perfect.

That’s because storm water from other areas of the city heads straight to the Ottawa River without any treatment.

And that water contains plenty of pet waste – enough to bump up bacteria levels and make downstream beaches unsafe for people to swim.

If various levels of government are going to spend $62 million on a water tunnel, it would make sense if the city spent a few drops of that money on public education about, and enforcement of, existing stoopand-scoop laws.

We all share the river. We can all swim in it when it’s clean. Everyone should do their part to keep it that way.

Teaching kids about money valuable lesson

T

hanksgiving dinner was barely finished when the kids piped up about what they wanted for Christmas.

It was the perfect opportunity to have the conversation about money I’d been wanting to have with them for a while, but I didn’t honestly know what to say.

My son, fresh from a windfall known as his tenth birthday, had spent his money 10 times over in his head before making a decision four months later.

His choices included an Xbox, a new bike, sports clothes or a Chromebook.

He was shy of the money for any one of those things and spent weeks negotiating with parents and grandparents ways of earning extra should he need it.

In the end he decided what he really, desperately needed was a real

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse skateboard. Every mother’s dream.

Once he had the idea cemented, he was relentless about making up the shortfall. He raked leaves, mowed the lawn, babysat his sister and lost three baby teeth all in a single week.

The whole situation made me realize I’d been slacking on the “teaching kids about money� thing.

A while ago, I told the older kids they’d get a weekly allowance if they cleaned their room every Saturday. That means washing sheets, doing laundry and vacuuming. They haven’t routinely done

this for four months, which means any money they’ve received has been ad hoc.

I reached out to Janet Gray, a financial planner with Money Coaches Canada. “I don’t agree with giving money only for chores,� said Gray. “Kids, no matter what, need to learn how to manage money, to make money successes and make money mistakes. If it’s always tied to taking out the garbage and they never take out the garbage, they will never learn.�

Gray recommends setting a baseline of money per week.

A rule of thumb is 50 cents per year of age per week to avoid overindulgence. From there, kids can have the option to earn extra money through chores.

More important, however, is what they do with that, let’s say, $5

per week. It’s not a spending freefor-all.

Gray suggests giving each kid four mason jars. Forty per cent of their weekly allowance can go into the spend jar, 40 per cent goes into savings, 10 per cent goes into donations and the final 10 per cent goes into investments.

They can use their spending for anything they want – no strings attached. Savings are short term, while investments are longer term, explains Gray. “A 10 per cent investment for your 11-year-old may mean he can take driving lessons in five years,� she says. “Saving is shorter term, like the skateboard your son’s been eyeing.�

Gray recommends helping kids make regular deposits into their bank accounts. “Encourage them to go online to see how much money is in their account,� says Gray. “But it’s also an opportunity to make sure their card is safeguarded and to teach them EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: /FWJM )VOU OFWJM IVOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: +FTTJDB $VOIB KFTTJDB DVOIB!NFUSPMBOE DPN POLITICAL REPORTER: +FOOJGFS .D*OUPTI KFOOJGFS NDJOUPTI!NFUSPMBOE DPN THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

We plan to spend the weekend decorating mason jars to make the whole savings thing fun.

If nothing else, the kids will be happy to have two bucks in their pockets on a regular basis to blow on candy at the local convenience store, while riding their skateboards down the street.

United Way has lost its way To the editor,

Re: “United Way announces campaign goal of $15.2M. With all the fundraising advantages it has, again for the fifth year in a row United Way Ottawa came up short in its fundraising target.

How many more can it sustain before it will have to call it quits? Change must come.

There is absolutely no indication this organization is up to this challenge.

In the grand scheme of things, the current campaign goal of $15.2 million which wraps up on March 17, 2017, when we consider need, is a pittance and an admission of the failures United Way has experienced.

That said, Ottawans must start to question the value and benefit of United Way to this community and how it selects those organizations it does fund. Is it based on need or the ability to put the best case forward by any organization seeking United Way funding?

Its funding model has become very controversial and in the process has alienated countless supporters and funders. United Way’s “major cultural shift” on how it

allocates funding should be viewed as nothing more than a failure on its part in its fund raising efforts. A cop-out!

One should not be surprised that United Way again came up short in its recent fund raising campaigns. No question the organization is a victim of “donor fatigue” which plagues this region. That aside, United Way has lost its way; it has devolved into nothing more than just another bloated, elitist, unaccountable, registered charity.

And let’s not forget that United Way in this city enjoys, thanks to the generosity of taxpayers, the support and largess of federal public servants and city employees who donate tons of time and resources to the cause – contributions not realized by any other charity in this city let alone in this country.

Far too many of us do not know what United Way does or what it stands for. It has no clear goals and lacks a clear and precise communications strategy. It takes far too much for granted when it comes to the generosity of our community and at the end of the day comes up short with telling us how the money was spent

and what benefits – socially, economically and otherwise – accrue to the recipients. How does it change lives?

The very reality is that it may be very well perpetuating, in a very condescending and patronizing manner, year-in, year-out, the desperate conditions and lives of at-risk children and youth, isolated seniors and others suffering from mental health and addictions challenges whom it is supposed to be helping.

Unless significant changes – administrative, cultural, and economic – take place within this organization, it will simply disappear with a very minimal loss to this community.

Time is not on its side. Is it up to this challenge? Don’t bet on it.

There are many organizations in this area who merit and deserve our support, financially and otherwise, and at all times meeting their charitable mandates. Those Ottawans who want to give back should consider one or more of these organizations when donating.

Seniors care takes a step forward

BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Ontario’s second health unit for people over age 65 will admit its first patient sometime next month, and staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital expect it to improve the health of the region’s seniors.

“We’re very keen to get going,” said Dr. Fraser Miller, the physician who will head the acute care for the elderly unit – referred to as the ACE unit.

Premier Kathleen Wynne was on hand for an Oct. 14 opening.

The 34-bed unit will treat seniors with acute issues, but will go beyond other hospitals by investigating all the health issues each patient is experiencing. The goal is to identify all challenges that could prevent a positive outcome.

“We talk about beds, but beds are not friendly to seniors,” Miller said, alluding to the need to keep muscles moving.

The ACE unit will have seniors up and walking as soon as possible after surgery or other treatments, hopefully as far as communal eating and

When possible, the patients will wear their own clothes instead of gowns – part of a strategy to make them feel part of a community instead of being inside an institution.

“You’re doing a lot of things right here,” Wynne said to staff members gathered for the opening. “This will help get them back into their lives

We all pay for concessions To the editor,

Re: “Committee votes in favour of regulating special area levies.�

It is good that council is developing a rational approach to special local tax levies, but I would suggest that examining the granting of tax concessions is needed.

These concessions are burdensome, particularly to homeowners.

I think we all would be astonished to see a list of commercial, industrial and vacant properties in the city which have been given tax conces-

sions or even complete tax holidays.

Recently commercial properties in Bells Corners were given relief so that repairs and renovations could be done, things which prudent owners would do anyway.

A similar concession was given along St. Joseph. Vacant lots sit empty for years, even decades, while infrastructure is improved and value increases without property levy increases.

Industrial property receives relief if partially empty; try to do the same for a domestic property only

partially occupied!

An enterprise which can pay employees over a million dollars does not need an exemption from property taxes.

On my cynical days I feel that commercial property owners with access to lawyers, lobbyists and councillors have an easy time being granted property tax exemption or relief by Ottawa city council, leaving domestic residents to pick up the slack, as the 99 per cent carry an extra burden.

Eldercare Counselling: Providing Support for Those Who are Caring for Aging Relatives An alternative approach is to address the issue from your mother’s perspective by respecting who she is and what are her values and priorities. Ideally, she can discover her own solutions and take ownership for her decisions.

So, we help you reframe the question. If your mother’s ultimate goal is to stay at home as long as possible, present the walker as part of a greater strategy to achieve that goal.

The same individually centred approach can be applied for accepting in-home supports.

With our support, we can help you engage with appropriate resources and guide you through some techniques and approaches to make sure they are received.

Q. My dad is not coping at home on his own. We have finally convinced him to consider a retirement home but he is in Ottawa and I’m in Calgary. What are my options?

A. People often ask me: What is the best care facility? Beyond the considerations regarding the required level of care, my fundamental belief is that the facility needs to be convenient for family and/or friends. There may come a time when your dad will be unable to fully advocate for himself. This is where advocacy becomes paramount. I would advise that you get constructively engaged (especially at the early stages) by talking to nurses, caregivers, and administration. This sends a message that you are present and involved, which can minimize risk and lead to a better experience for your dad. The same advice applies if your dad was in hospital or a nursing home.

The fact that you live in Calgary and your dad is here in Ottawa is a challenge. In cases like this, the best option is to try and re-locate your dad to a care facility in Calgary. However, if that is not possible, our staff can still be of help. It is possible to retain an Eldercare Counsellor, such as myself, who acts on behalf of you and your family member. Eldercare Counsellors can serve as an advocate for you and your parent when you are not available to do so. With extensive knowledge of resources in the Ottawa area I can be available for consultation both in person and remotely.

Michael McCleery MSW, RSW., runs the Eldercare Service at the Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre.

Q. What is the difference between Long Term Care and a retirement home?

The Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre has been providing psychological assessment and treatment services to Kanata and its neighbouring communities since its opening in 2013. In these few short years, it has served the mental health needs of hundreds of children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. One of the goals of the Centre has been to help meet the needs of all members of our community. To this end, they are pleased to be able to offer a unique, and much needed service, Eldercare Counselling, under the experienced and compassionate guidance of Clinical Social Worker, Mike McCleery.

A. Long Term Care (LTC) homes are provincially run care facilities that can only be accessed through your local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). The monthly cost for LTC is fixed across Ontario and subsidies are available for low income earners.

Once a person is deemed eligible by CCAC, they can choose up to five LTC homes. A challenge with LTC homes is that the wait lists can be long, particularly for people applying for a subsidy, because they can only apply for a ward bed (shared accomodation). There are approximately 20 LTC homes in the Ottawa area.

As Mike explains, “We provide counselling and practical support for individuals and families who are in the process of caring for their aging relatives. Caregiving is a physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding task that takes its toll, not only on the body, but also on the psyche and the spirit. Individuals immersed in the role of ‘the caregiver’ often report feeling significant levels of anxiety, stress, and uncertainty.”

Retirement homes are similar to apartments that may or may not have a kitchenette, a dining room and other common facilities. Individuals pay rent for the room, food in the dining room and they may pay an additional cost for supports. The more support you need, the more it costs. For the most part, retirement homes are private and not subsidized. They often cost more than LTC homes. However, there are many more retirement home options in Ottawa than LTC homes which means that there is almost no wait to obtain a bed.

“Our approach to working with individuals is from a perspective of utmost respect and compassion. Primary goals are to help clients increase their knowledge and decision-making power, and to develop coping strategies to manage the emotional challenges associated with caring for their loved one. When complex situations arise, we provide options to help families make the most informed decision.”

Given our rapidly aging population and the increasing demands on families to fulfill the caregiver role, Eldercare Counselling is a much needed service in our community. Mike’s extensive experience in the healthcare sector and working with community partners enable him to provide a range of services including: • health and social services navigation; • clarity on issues related to capacity and consent; • contingency planning; • care facility advice; • support for families living at a distance from their aging relatives; • guidance around managing family conflict; • counselling for caregiver stress and burnout; • support for anxiety and depression related to grief and loss.

Although we all know of someone in a position of caring for an aging parent, we were not aware that there was professional support available to assist in the role. We sat down with Mike to find out more about what he does to help families caring for an aging parent. Mike described some common scenarios and questions he is asked in his work.

Q. My aging mother is having difficulty coping at home. She is fiercely independent and refusing help.

How can Eldercare Counselling help me and my family?

A. This is a very common concern with families struggling to care for vulnerable loved ones (regardless of age).

With the elderly, however, there is the added concern of cognitive impairment, which may impact their ability to understand and appreciate daily challenges. For example, the doctor has recommended that your mother use a walker to prevent falls, but she is finds every excuse not to, it makes her feel “old”.

“The last thing you want to do is to be confrontational”, says Mike. “The more you push on an issue, the more resistant your mother may become.”

12 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, October 20, 2016

Q. I’m caring for my aging parent and I feel stressed and overwhelmed.

A. Caregiving may start out as a simple task but as loved ones require more and more help, you may not be able to meet their needs on your own anymore. In our practice, we can work with you and your parent to find appropriate, affordable, professional services, including in-home supports. We can also help you deal with feelings of stress and guilt as well as communication challenges between you and your loved one. We can facilitate joint sessions to help you both talk about what you are going through. Through counselling, and education, we can provide you the help you need to meet the challenges of caring for the elderly so that everyone involved feels the dignity and respect they deserve.

Q. I’m not sure if my situation is one that you can help with. Where do I start? Are your services covered by insurance?

A. The first step would be to book an appointment for an initial consultation, during which time we work collaboratively to understand your and your family member’s unique needs and to set some initial goals.

Appointments can be made by phone (613-435-2729), email (office@kanatapsychology.com), or through our website (www.kanatapsychology.com). Services are covered by most private insurance plans.

Mike finished our discussion with a final comment that reflects his passion for his work, “I feel privileged to be able to offer my knowledge and support to our community. Supporting an aging parent can be one of the most difficult processes for families to go through. However, I have also seen that, when the right supports are in place, it can also be a rewarding and empowering experience for all involved.”

Kickboxer to fight at two international competitions this fall Kelly McCarthy kmccarthy@metroland.com

“That’s my personality – when I find something I love I do it, and I do it all the way.”

Though Alex Parisien, a resident of Dunrobin, has only been seriously practising Muay Thai since 2010, she has quickly risen to the top of her ranks.

On Oct. 26, she will travel to Mexico for the ninth annual World Association of Kickboxing Organization (WAKO) Pan-American Kickboxing Championship. Then, just over a week after she returns, she’ll jet off to Italy to compete as a member of Team Canada at the World Kickboxing Federation (WKF) World Championship.

“I’m looking forward to being able to compete at such a high level,” Parisien said.

Parisien, 31, got her first taste of martial arts in high school, when she participated in taekwondo at West Carleton Secondary School. She’s now a second-degree black belt in the discipline – she trained consistently through her adolescence

and into university – but her passion lies in kickboxing and Muay Thai.

Since she discovered Muay Thai in 2010, Parisien has spent the majority of her free time training at the Kanata and Carling locations of the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts. She fell in love with the sport’s traditions and artfulness.

“It’s a true martial art,” Parisien said of Muay Thai, explaining that it is also called the art of eight limbs and is so cherished by the people of Thailand – where Muay Thai is their national sport – that a 30-day ban on competitions was recently imposed when the country’s king passed away on Oct. 13.

Parisien excelled quickly at Muay Thai, though the sport has no quantifiable levels like taekwondo’s coloured belts.

She’s trained all over Ontario and has even been to two training camps in Thailand itself in 2013.

Her accolades are many: in 2012, Parisien won sliver at the Council of Amateur Sports Kickboxing (CASK) provin-

cial championship; in 2013, she took home several awards including the CASK Grand Prix championship and the CASK national championship.

In 2014, Parisien took home silver at both the CASK national championship and the WAKO North American championship. This year alone, she has already won a national WKF championship.

“From my experience, I know the level of competition that I’ll be facing in Mexico and again in Italy,” Parisien said. “I am definitely prepared.”

With two big competitions so near on the horizon, Parisien is training at all hours of the day, whenever she can around her work schedule. She hits the gym up to three times a day, seven days a week for Muay Thai training, cardio and yoga on her “rest day” on Thursdays.

“When I’m not working, I’m training,” Parisien said. “It takes a lot of dedication but it’s worth it.”

After a 6 a.m. wake-up call, Parisien heads to the gym before work, slips out when she can at lunchtime, and finishes

her day with another session.

Saturdays and Sundays are equally busy – she gets in a Muay Thai training session and cardio every weekend.

Parisien trains hard because her aim is always to win.

“When you go to a competition, you want to win,” Parisien said. “You don’t enter a fight thinking that you’re going to lose, because then you’ve already lost.”

Parisien sets off for Mexico

for the WAKO Pan-American Kickboxing Championship between Oct. 26 and 30, and

After she conquers the Pan Americans and the Worlds, Parisien has a bucket-list of fights she’d like to complete before she hangs up her gloves. For example, she’d like to go professional

Is there anywhere better to be leading up to Halloween night than in a building that is more than a 100 years old — and is filled with ancient artifacts, poisonous reptiles?

Well in case that’s exactly what people are looking for, the Canadian Museum of Nature has it covered.

The museum will host its second Nature Nocturne event — an adult only event — on Oct. 28 at 8 p.m.

The evening includes DJs, dancing and world-class exhibitions including the most recently added Reptiles: Beautify and Deadly which opened on Oct. 7.

Costumes are encouraged however there are some exceptions: The museum said it reserves the right to refuse entry or remove attendees in any costume, if they think there may be a risk to safety or the costume does not comply with the guidelines • All weapons must clearly be toys • No live, replica or realistic firearms (e.g., airsoft, modern, hunting or historic) • No props or weapons capable of firing any projectile or powder • Opaque material coverings on appropriate areas of your body • No masks that hinder

West Carleton Arts Society The West Carleton Arts Society hosted a great event in Carp that supported and allowed guests to meet the artists. I was happy to deliver some brief remarks and support local artists in our community. I always love meeting and talking to such talented individuals who excel and have tremendous dedication to the work they create.

Scaring is Caring I want to thank councilor Allan Hubley for organizing the Scaring is Caring event at Saunders Farm. This event is organized in support of youth mental health and a portion of the proceeds collected by Saunders Farm is donated to the Youth Services Bureau. Youth Services Bureau is an organization devoted to helping the youth in our own community and it does amazing work. This event is fun for the whole family and I recommended it for next year.

Thank you for your feedback!

In the last year I have asked for your input on important subjects such as climate change, electoral reform, and defence policy. I have compiled several reports based on your important feedback and shared it with the appropriate Ministers. You can read these reports on my website at www.kmccrimmon.liberal.ca. I always welcome and enjoy listening to your ideas and feedback.

Working for you It has been one year since the election and I am so honoured to have the opportunity to serve the constituency of Kanata-Carleton.

‘Hopes rising’: Concert raises funds in memory of Ottawa man

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

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.

Approximately 45,000 residents of Ottawa, many in rural communities, who are already facing excessive hydro bills, may face a new tax from the City of Ottawa on storm water...or as I like to call it, a new tax on the rain.

Residents facing this new tax will not receive a new service, and will not see their property taxes decrease commensurately.

When any level of government introduces a new tax that will not provide a new service or will not be offset by decreases in other taxes, we have a catchy saying: it’s a tax grab.

I have no doubt that city planners are facing a budget shortfall.

But I am confident that if they look closely enough across all their spending priorities, they can find savings elsewhere. The last thing City Council needs to do is slap a new tax on the rain, or whatever else, to make up for bad management of money.

Ottawa residents are already paying too much for hydro, too much on property taxes, and too much on new provincial fees on just about every service.

I encourage you to write to your City Councillor to stop this rain tax.

Family, friends and local musicians are hosting a benefit concert in memory of a young Kanata man who died by suicide after battling depression this year.

Matt Clarke-Jenkins, known as CJ to friends, died in March at the age of 19 after a three-and-a-half year battle with his illness.

The benefit concert – titled Over the Mountains – will be held on Oct. 22 at All Saints Catholic High School in Kanata. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation’s Hopes Rising campaign, a $5-million project to renovate its mental health-unit and improve care for those in crisis.

“People need some place that they can go and it’s going to be nice, it’s going to be pleasant,” said CJ’s mom Carole Jenkins. “It’ll be hopeful.”

The goal is not only to raise money for the campaign and honour CJ’s memory, but also to continue a public conversation surrounding mental illness. “There’s a lot of kids out there who may be suffering in silence and this might help them come forward and say, ‘Maybe I can get help,’” said Jenkins. “I just miss him so much. Sometimes I just don’t believe it. I can’t believe he’s not here anymore.”

CJ was very open with his mom about his illness and when he needed emergency help from the hospital. Although he had a family doctor, he did not have a psychiatrist but was seeing a psychologist for support and was taking medication prescribed through a hospital.

He bought a harmonica the day before he died, said Jenkins. When she left JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND for her weekly horseback riding session Carole Jenkins (centre), friends and local musicians are holding a benefit that Wednesday, she and CJ agreed she concert in memory of her son Matt Clarke-Jenkins to raise funds for the Queensway would pick up dinner that night.

Carleton Hospital Foundation’s Hopes Rising Campaign, a $5-million project to renovate “He said ‘OK, bye mom,’ like everyits mental-health unit and improve care for those in crisis. thing was normal,” she said.

He didn’t answer his phone when she called to see what he’d like for supper.

After repeated attempts to track him down failed, police were brought in and launched a search. By 2:30 a.m. the next day, the police had located CJ. “He was surrounded by so much positivity (but) the illness itself took over,” said CJ’s friend Jamey Lee, who will be one of the MCs at the concert. “We want to bring people together so they don’t feel alone.”

“And help people realize that everyone does care and they want to make a Quilting, Sewing, Needlework difference,” said Josh Hillier, a friend and Classes for all levels former bandmate of CJ’s who will perform at the concert with Hey High Sun.

Queensway Carleton Hospital grapples with mental-health load Continued from page 24

The name of the benefit concert comes from the first track off the album The Only One on Earth, which CJ wrote, recorded and released in December 2015 under the name Dawn the Era. The album cover features a painting of mountains that he drew while he was in treatment at the QCH. As a musician, CJ did it all; he played the guitar, drums, harmonica, keyboard, bass and sang vocals. He was also a student at Carleton University studying issues in popular music, a volunteer ski instructor for children with special needs, an extreme cyclist, a friend, a brother, a son and so much more to those who knew him.

“He had a really, really good sense of humour and he was always up for fun – except when he was sick. He was a goofy guy; he was a by-the-book guy who followed the rules except for when he didn’t,” said Jenkins, reminiscing about the time she caught him and his friends jumping from the balcony into the pool.

But like many people – one in five in Ontario, according to statistics – CJ struggled with his mental health. For three-and-a-half years he battled depression. Though supported by his family, his friends and the QCH, the illness took over.

The benefit concert is a way for those who love him to raise awareness about mental health while also raising funds for improvements to the hospital that are sorely needed.

Thank you to Chris and his team from the TD Tree Days program who came out Saturday and helped to plant new trees in a much needed area!

TD Tree Days have planted over 235,000 trees over the past six years and this year they are planting 50,000 more! Details about this program can be found at www.tdtreedays.com.

2017 Project

LIKE A PRISON SUBMITTED

The emergency department at the QCH has seen a 14-per-cent increase in the number of patients with mental health crises in the past year, said Melanie Adams, president and chief executive of the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation. Thirty per cent of in-patients in the 24-bed mental-health unit are between the ages of 16 and 30.

“We are the busiest emergency department in the Ottawa region,” she said. “This percentage increase of an already busy emergency department is quite staggering. And we’re often at full capacity.”

The hospital never turns patients away but the limited capacity coupled with increasing numbers of people seeking help mean patients are sometimes housed in other departments before being moved to the mental-health unit.

“Capacity is definitely an issue and unfortunately all the money in the world is not going to change that,” said Adams.

The Hopes Rising campaign won’t help the hospital increase its bed count, since funding for additional beds has to come through the Ministry of Health. However, the QCH has made a request to the province to increase the number of beds by four, for a total of 28, said Adams.

What it will change, though, are the atmosphere and surroundings in the mental-health unit, which is housed in the original section of the hospital, built in 1976.

Matt (CJ) Clarke-Jenkins, performs on stage in the past. A benefit concert will be in documenting the people, places and activities that make Kanata South a great place to live, work and play. held in his memory Oct. 22 in Kanata.

Details regarding this project can be found on my website under the Community tab.

“It has not undergone renovations in 40 years,” said Adams. “It’s an eye-opener when you see how beautiful the rest of the hospital is and then you come down this corridor. It’s a tough time in their life to be in a space that’s not pleasant.”

CJ was in and out of the emergency department and in-patient unit for his depression.

“I remember visiting him in that hospital when he was really sick and each time you go it’s like a prison,” said Lee. “The beds, they’re just flat, stale and old; the place kind of smells.

The walls look like an asylum.”

“If you go somewhere like that you just feel worse,” said Hillier. “They need a better environment.”

The $5-million Hopes Rising campaign will help create privacy within the unit and build an intensive-care unit for patients who need more one-on-one support during the initial phase of their stay.

“All patients are sharing a room. Optimally we’d like to be able to provide private rooms for patients,” said Adams. “There’s very, very limited meeting space in the unit currently, and the waiting rooms are in places that don’t allow for privacy. When we talk about stigma around mental health, we have created our

own health stigma here – we’re putting people out in a fish bowl.”

Funding will also help update furnishings and treatment units. “The hospital has been through some tremendous transformational expansion over the last decade,” said Adams, who will be attending the concert. “It’s time now for the mental-health unit.”

So far, the campaign has raised just over $2 million. The hope is that Over the Mountains will help bring the hospital a little closer to its goal.

“To have Matt’s friends who are so young but articulate and passionate and understanding about the mental-wellness aspect, that in and of itself brings me hope,” said Adams.

The Over the Mountains benefit concert takes place Oct. 22, at All Saints Catholic High School, 5115 Kanata Ave. Doors open at 6 p.m. with a silent auction, and music 7-10 p.m. Tickets are $15 online at eventbrite.ca (search Matt Clarke-Jenkins benefit concert) and at the door.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North DO YOU HAVE THINGS CLUTTERING YOUR HOME? Why not put them out on Give Away Weekend! This weekend, Oct 22-23rd, put unwanted items at your curb with a FREE sign attached and someone else can pick it up, reuse it and reduce waste going to a landfill. Pass the word around and do your part for the environment!

KANATA NORTH TOWN HALL, Oct 24th, 7-9 pm, Kanata Seniors’ Centre (Owen Prince Room), 2500 Campeau Dr. - Find out about apartment buildings (from 4 to 8 storeys) planned between Village Green and Williams Court. Hear about plans for the next phases for Arcadia and Richardson Ridge, new construction (and partial closure) on the Goulbourn Forced Road, and the start of work on the KNL lands. Proposed new buildings include Princess Auto and Bridgehead Coffee with more in the works. I’ll bring you up to date on issues such as changes in your water bill and the 2017 City budget. Be the first to hear about a Cultural Festival here in 2017 and my efforts to locate a Centre of Excellence for autonomous vehicles in Kanata North. All are welcome to attend and raise any issues or concerns.

Autonomous Vehicles Centre of Excellence – City Council approved my motion to work to establish a Software Centre of Excellence for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and to have AVs and driverless cars tested on roads here. Kanata North is home to many companies providing the software and communications for the driver assist software (already in cars to keep you in your lane or park your car) which is the forerunner for driverless cars. This will support local businesses such as QNX (a worldwide leader in this field), inform the City on what we have here and increase local employment. Driverless cars are coming so this will give us an edge in having a hub for the needed technology right here in Kanata North.

2017 Cultural Booklet – I have reached out to many arts and cultural groups (music, art, dance and theatre) in the Western Ottawa area of Kanata, Stittsville, West-Carleton-March and Goulbourn to create a booklet on all local groups in our area. If you know of any local groups (it can be a community group or one sponsored by a church or school) please contact my office to have it featured in the booklet for 2017. The goal is to tell residents about all of the wonderful groups in our area and the entertainment they bring to us. Then, on May 27, 2017 many of these groups will come together to hold the First Kanata-Carlton Cultural Festival celebrating Canada’s 150th Anniversary (details to come later)!

To be included in the booklet, please send me information by the end of October as we don’t want to leave anyone out.

Police seek suspect in connection with Nepean, Kanata bank robberies Terry Fox bank robbed Oct. 7 STAFF

Police are trying to identify a male suspect they believe is responsible for recent bank robberies in Nepean and Kanata, and they want help from the public.

On Sept. 29, at 7:35 p.m., a single disguised suspect entered a bank located on the 700 block of Baseline Road, near Fisher Avenue.

The suspect entered brandishing a

handgun and demanded money. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and there were no injuries.

On Oct. 7, just after 3 p.m., a lone suspect entered a bank located on the 400 block of Terry Fox Drive, near Campeau Drive.

Again, he entered brandishing a handgun and made a demand for money. The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and there were no injuries.

Investigators with the robbery unit believe the same suspect is responsible for both robberies.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately five feet six inches tall and English speaking.

According to police, he was wearing sunglasses, a balaclava, a hooded jacket and a ball cap in both incidents.

He was also carrying a bag over his shoulder.

Police are asking anyone with information about these, or any robberies to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext.

5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, right listens to some new technology information from a representative at You.i TV during a tour of three businesses in the Kanata North Tech Park on Oct. 17. The tour, which also included a dinner at Brookstreet Hotel with delegations from 20 different countries.

Trade show highlights Kanata innovators

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

For the second year in a row, the Kanata North Business Improvement Area helped shine a spotlight on what’s affectionately called Silicone Valley North.

The event, which features a tour, reception and dinner, was hosted by the association on Oct. 17.

Jenna Sudds, executive director for the BIA, said the event was so popular last year, that organizers just stuck to the status quo.

“It was really popular on both sides – the companies that got a chance to showcase their work on a world stage and for the visitors who get a sneak peek on what they’re doing,” she said.

Show included foreign community Continued from page 29

One of the first stops was Youi.TV, which helps to build the coding so that movies, sporting events and other televisions shows can make their way on to personal entertainment platforms – such as Playstation 4, iPads, android tablets and others.

Youi.TV is a small, eight-year-old company that recently teamed up with Time Warner.

While a lot of what visitors saw is under wraps until it is released to the general

marketplace, it was an opportunity for visitors to see what Canadians are doing in the tech field.

“It’s a really fun day,” Wilkinson said.

The event hosted close to 25 representatives from embassies in Ottawa, the diplomatic community, and economic and foreign affairs representatives who are in Canada.

“I would say around 20 countries are represented here,” Sudds said.

Aside from touring the businesses, participants got a chance to hear from Kelly

Gillis, the federal associate deputy minister of innovation, science and economic development.

“We are excited to be hosting this event for a second year, and shining a light on the tremendous amount of innovation happening in the Kanata North Tech Park.” Sudds said in advance of the event.

“The Kanata North technology community has been enjoying impressive growth with many companies being recognized on the global stage as leaders in their fields. This event provides a wonderful opportunity for our business community to meet with international delegates and strengthen those relationships.”

A weekly guide in legal matters

I run a small business and I am currently in the process of looking for commercial space. Do I need a lawyer to review the lease?

A commercial lease is a complex legal document. In addition to the usual but important commercial provisions such as the term of the lease and monthly rentals, there are numerous other commercial and legal provisions and terms that may significantly increase costs or may otherwise adversely affect your business.

Most commercial leases are not in a standard form and vary substantially from each other. This significantly complicates review by anyone other than the most experienced business person or professional advisor because even seemingly minor variations may have significant impact on costs or legal rights. A simple example is in respect of the leasehold improvements that a landlord builds for you at the commencement of the lease. You might expect, correctly, that those improvements belong to the landlord at the end of the lease. You might not expect that the lease may provide the Landlord with the option requiring you to pay the cost

of tearing out those improvements at the end of the term - yet some leases provide exactly that. A Landlord has a legitimate interest in knowing who their tenant is, and thus many leases provide for restrictions on assignment.

At the same time, you may wish to sell your business sometime in the future, and want to know that you can do so without being unfairly restricted by your landlord.

In our experience, most landlords are willing to negotiate one-sided assignment restrictions to provisions that more fairly balance their concerns with your business objectives.

The commercial lease is often the first or second largest expense line after salaries and wages and accordingly requires careful consideration. A lawyer with experience in commercial leasing matters can review your lease and provide you with comments and advice enabling you to obtain a commercial leasing arrangement that meets your business’ needs.

VOICE OF BUSINESS WEST OTTAWA

Together - Building Business and Community Success Greetings business people and community members of West Ottawa! I am thrilled to be a new addition to your fantastic community and I am particularly pleased to be working with our business leaders and economic development stakeholders through the West Ottawa Board of Trade. I wish to express appreciation to our friends at Metroland Media for the opportunity to share with you the current events, opportunities and ideas of your leading business association. We are very fortunate to have a newspaper that focuses on community and supporting the local economy.

The origin of a Board of Trade, also known as a Chamber of Commerce, dates back to 1599 in Marseille, France when a group of local merchants, tradesmen and craftsmen worked together to influence decision makers on issues relevant to their business environment.

Today, the primary ‘raison d’être’ of the Board remains the same - to be a strong advocate for the business community. We are an independently funded and member driven association uniquely positioned to act as one voice for the businesses and community we serve.

Our mission is to create a prosperous environment in which businesses and residents thrive through service leadership and innovative services.

A Chamber of Commerce can be as unique as the communities they serve. In West Ottawa, we have a very diverse community with businesses ranging from one-person home-based proprietorships to large multi-national companies and everything in between.

We have businesses in a variety

of sectors including finance, retail and high tech, just to name a few. What does this mean for us? Opportunity abounds! Then, consider our lifestyle and environment - we are surrounded by green space, culture and innovation. What a place to live, work and play!

At the West Ottawa Board of Trade we work collaboratively with all levels of government and stakeholders to take advantage of new opportunities for our community and eliminate barriers to business. In addition we offer relevant business services such as networking and education events, promotional programs and money saving services.

Hopefully, you have enjoyed one of our marquee events such as the West Ottawa Food & Wine Show, Awards of Excellence Gala or our fundraising golf Tournament which raised $4,000 last year for Make a Wish. These sell out events are economic drivers and build a strong sense of community for all to enjoy.

Of course, none of this work would be possible without the vision and support of our members and volunteers. We are ever grateful for your time, your talent and your financial support of the Board and the work we do as a collective.

Thank you to everyone who has warmly welcomed me to this community. I have fallen in love with the beautiful landscape, the variety of opportunities and the passion of the people. I look forward to working with all of you to make our community the best it can be . . . today and in the future.

Cheers to your success!

New clubhouse coming for Pumphouse Whitewater facility Building to be ready for 2017 nationals

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa’s best-kept secret has a little bit more breathing room for its athletes.

The Pumphouse Whitewater facility is tucked away between Booth Street and Bronson Avenue, behind

Albert Street. For the past 40 years, after a group of dedicated paddlers cleaned up the riverbed and shoreline at the base of a cityrun pumphouse, they have used it as an artificial water slalom course for Ottawa and area canoe and kayakers.

In 1983, the group incorporated as the Ottawa River Runners and since that time, that group of volunteers have been changing and storing boats in shipping containers placed on National Capital

Commission land, next to the river.

It wasn’t the best of circumstances when 20 years ago the NCC approached the group, to see if they would like to have something more permanent at the site. So, for the past 20 years, the club has been working at finding both the means and funds to build a clubhouse and on Oct. 11 it was announced that the wait is finally over.

“Two decades of shipping containers is over,” said Richard van Gellswyk of the Ottawa River Runners.

Plans for the new Barry J. Hobin-designed clubhouse and storage facility were unveiled at a ceremony, and van Gellswyk said the facility will be in place by December and ready for spring and summer programming.

Once in place, van Gellswyk said the new structure will not only give the club more storage space, but also the ability to grow its programming.

New space will allow organization to expand Continued from page 33

The new clubhouse will be right next to the riverbed, on the Bronson Avenue side, accessible either by taking Booth to Fleet streets and walking, or Commissioners Avenue and parking next to the NCC pathway. Either way, once avid paddlers arrive, the club said that the existing flimsy changing spaces and the need to step over boats will become history.

“No longer will we have to stand behind a shower curtain, clutching a towel while we change,” said Alison Smedley, who has trained and coached at the site for the past 18 years.

“This means so much.”

To celebrate the news, and to not lose momentum on a project that has taken more than two decades to see come to fruition, the Ottawa River Runners held a ceremonial ground breaking with local politicians, including Mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and Ottawa Centre MPP Catherine McKenna, as well as

Olympians Cameron Smedley and Michael Tayler who have used the site as their Olympic training grounds.

The clubhouse was made possible by member-supported fundraising of more than $160,000 over the course of 10 years, as well as a recently acquired Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant of $150,000.

NATIONALS

The timing couldn’t be better for the new clubhouse to be completed as Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017 will include hosting the Canadian Whitewater National Championships at the site in August 2017.

The club plans on hosting an official opening of the new facility leading up to the nationals.

BEST-KEPT SECRET

The location has been a bit of a secret spot in the city’s urban core, as Mayor Watson

Seniors’ Education Series

admitted he didn’t know much about the site, and only visited it for the first time last month.

Although Watson declined a trip down the slalom course during his previous visit, Naqvi said he was lucky enough to go down the track with Tayler doing most of the work.

He added he believes the new clubhouse, coupled with a new light rail station at the head of the track and the development of the Lebreton Flats at the base will make the facility more accessible. The club admits part of maintaining a relatively low profile was because of the facility's conditions.

“We didn’t have room to grown,” van Gellswyk said.

Another clubhouse member, who helps manage programming, said he always had to turn excited parents away because the spaces filled up quickly and early in the season for its summer camps.

Now, the club says the only thing that is stopping them is money to buy more boats.

“Our boat storage has basi-

According to the club, ever

since kayak and canoe slaloms were added to the Olympics, Olympians including Tayler and Cameron, have trained at the facility.

“Exemplary” still describes QCH after 40 years Catharene Smith has worked at Queensway Carleton Hospital for 18 years. She’s the team leader in C4 medicine, and if there’s something she’s proud of, it’s the team she works with. You can see it in the way she speaks about them; she’s all smiles and relaxed posture, when talking of her friends.

In fact, her coworkers are part of the reason she loves working at QCH. “First of all, the people. I have met lifelong friends in my unit; we’ve gone through so much together. The opportunities I’ve been blessed with are another thing. Whether it is making things better for the patients, or having a say in changes/improvements to the unit I work in, or the hospital. The educational opportunities I’ve gotten over the years, and being able to care for the patients in our community as well. There really is that feeling of community when working here.”

Smith has been working at QCH for almost half of her life. So it makes sense that the hospital has become a large part of it.

“QCH has always felt like a family. Going back to the ‘old’ days when it was only one building, you knew

everyone! The doctors, the people working in admin, the support staff.

Everyone knew each other. That hasn’t changed, even when our hospital has grown. Working full-time, you can’t help but feel that this is a big part of your life.”

Smith has learned many things from working at QCH, but the most important thing she’s been taught is collaboration. “It’s most important

in providing excellent patient care, and by working together as a team it makes our very hard jobs easier!”

During her almost two decade turn at the hospital, Smith has experienced and accomplished many things that are memorable. Something that stood out the most for her was winning the D. Aubrey Moodie People Excellence Awards – Employee of the Year in 2014.

“I felt honoured to be recognized.

That’s something you really feel here, the recognition. You don’t feel like a number, you’re valued here and you get recognition for the work you do.”

Smith lit up when asked if there

was something she wanted people to know about QCH. “QCH is a great place to work. It truly has the patients’ and the staff’s best interest in mind. Even though it has expanded greatly it still has the ‘home town feel’ it has had since it opened.”

Smith went on to talk about her department specifically, mentioning the daily huddles, the Kudos cards that their unit hands out to one another, and the CEO. “Tom will sometimes drop in on the huddles. He won’t take over them, he’ll just stand back and watch and listen, and if he knows something about whatever topic we’re on, he’ll chime in. The nurses really appreciate that he does that.”

Smith took a moment when finding the perfect word to describe the hospital, even joking that she’d had to look some up on a thesaurus to get that that sounded just right. “Exemplary,” she finally settles on.

“QCH has always strived to do what is best for patients, staff, volunteers, and the community. The patients we care for on my unit have noticed this, and, for the most part at least, they seem quite happy with

their time spent here, and they’re satisfied with their care.”

“It’s hard to summarize my experience here,” she admits, noting that she’s been here for half of her life.

“Working at QCH has been a great opportunity for professional development, while providing great care to my community.”

Smith has indeed been given some great opportunities for professional development. In fact, her unit in C4 has been chosen to move to the new ACE unit once it’s completed.

“We’re all very excited. C4 has been dubbed the ghetto unit, it hasn’t been updated in a while, and we’ve worked very hard with what we have. The nurses are eager to get new equipment, and to learn new things in relation to taking care of the patients.

“Our unit is already similar to what the ACE unit will be doing, but there are still some new things we will be learning. A few nurses have already signed up for some of the courses the hospital is providing. I really think this unit deserves this chance. My co-workers have worked so hard for it, and I’m so happy that they have this great opportunity.”

Local companies show off innovations

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Imagine setting off fireworks next to council chambers.

That’s what visitors to the Innovation Trade Show did at Jean Pigott Place on Oct. 17.

Karman Interactive, a digital solutions company that has teamed up with the city to work on building digital, public art celebrations in advance of 2017

celebrations, brought out virtual reality equipment for people to have fun with.

“We’ve recently got into virtual reality because it’s fun and up and coming,” said Nick Kirkwood, who handles business development for the company.

Karman was just one of the eight burgeoning companies that showed off their projects.

In June, the city announced

the eight local companies that were picked to participate in the municipal innovation pilot program.

Under the program, eight products were chosen from 65 applications nationwide. The products selected were tested and if they improved any city process, they would be moved past traditional procurement systems.

Kirkwood said Karman has

done a lot of work with private companies, but he foresees a lot of applications that could be used by the city and other public institutions – such as schools.

For example, virtual reality software could be used in medical schools to negate the use of corpses for practising procedures. Another, potentially more fun-filled idea, would be to use motion-sensor cameras and animation to create digital “mas-

cots” at bus and train stations during the 2017 celebrations.

“Imagine you’re waiting for a bus and a beaver pops up and lets you know what the weather is going to be like today,” Kirkwood said.

Neiel Sharma, chief executive of iStand, a technologybased service aimed at helping immigrants navigate their new home after getting off the plane, has developed new software. iStand, which is looking to team up with an as yet-to-benamed partner, offers an appli-

cation to help new Canadians deal with their banking information, immigration services, housing and other supports under one umbrella.

“We have worked with the city and educational institutions,” Sharma said, adding the influx of Syrian refugees was a good opportunity to test out the idea. The municipal innovation pilot program is in accordance with the City of Ottawa’s multiyear economic development strategy, Partnerships for Innovation.

Researchers discover running rescues brain-damaged mice

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The inadvertent discovery of the healing power of a running-triggered molecule that improved the health of braindamaged mice may one day lead to better treatments for stroke and multiple sclerosis patients.

“We were never looking for anything like this. It came out of the blue,” said David Picketts, a senior scientist with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and senior author of a paper on the discovery that was published Oct. 11 in Cell Reports.

“It was our eureka moment.”

His student at the time, Matías Alvarez-Saavedra, was in the lab working with mouse models that had been genetically engineered to have small cerebellums, a section of the brain located at the back of the head that controls balance and movement.

They considered tinkering with the animals’ genes to extend their lives. Their condition was causing problems with walking and the animals were

dying at 25 to 50 days, much shorter than the typical one year for healthy mice.

Instead, Alvarez-Saavedra, who is now based in New York, decided to install running wheels in the mice cages, an idea inspired after he read that exercise increased the lifespan of mice with small cerebellums.

RUNNING WITH THE RESULTS

Running turned out to be a key trigger.

They learned that exercise released a protein and neuropeptide known as VGF nerve growth factor in mouse brains that actually healed the damaged coating that normally protects and insulates nerve fibres.

Once these coatings are severely eroded, it affects the brain’s ability to send signals. In MS patients, it’s the result of the body’s autoimmune attack on its on cells.

The brain-damaged mice that had the running wheel at their disposal lived well over a year. But when the wheel was re-

moved, their health began to go downhill again.

“That was really surprising to us,” said Picketts, who is also a longtime professor at the University of Ottawa. “We had the tools now.”

The overall health benefits of exercise are well known, but not at the molecular level.

“I think that’s one of the other findings, is that exercise is really well understood to have a protective effect on brain health and overall physical well-being,” said Picketts.

“But not much work has been shown of the pathways downstream from there (when molecules such as VGF are expressed), (and) how these factors work.”

NEXT STEPS IN RESEARCH

Next steps now include working with animal models that have specific neurodegenerative disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and stroke.

“We think that VGF – because it helps promote the growth of the insulation – if we can see recovery and longer re-

David Picketts, a senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, and his former student Matías Alvarez-Saavedra, are part of a team that has discovered that running triggers the release of a molecule that heals certain types of brain damage in mice. It’s hoped the discovery may one day lead to better treatments for stroke and multiple sclerosis patients. mission periods in animal models with multiple sclerosis, the idea eventually would be to try and translate that into humans,” said Picketts.

It could be at least another 10 years before a human clinical trial is developed based on this research.

In the meantime, the team is also working to answer other questions about VGF nerve growth factor.

“We now know that exercise releases VGF and VGF can promote the growth of that insulation, but we don’t know how it signals to increase that growth,”

said Picketts.

The team plans to follow the molecular pathway the protein takes once it is released in the brain, he said, “because there may be other targets downstream that you can use drugs to increase and promote insulation growth.”

Not simply a run CHEO, RBC launch running event to improve kids’ mental health supports

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Dustin Garron tried seven times to take his own life.

His experience is part of a crisis, he said, that has struck Renfrew County, “with enough suicides in recent years that I can easily fill the first and second row of our audience.”

The struggle families are facing today are compounded by long wait times for help and lack of mentalhealth funding.

“For one mother five years ago it would be the beginning of an incredible journey,” Garron said, referring to his own mother who was called to the hospital with news that he was close to death following his seventh attempt.

It was after he was airlifted to CHEO that things

finally changed.

“There, thanks to a miraculous team of nurses and doctors that young child’s life was saved that day, and a long but rewarding journey of recovery was about to begin,” said Garron, 22, who today is in fourth year at the University of Ottawa, works as a banking advisor at RBC and is a well-known youth mental-health advocate.

His employer, RBC, is partnering with CHEO to bring its RBC Race for Kids series to Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean on Sept. 24, 2017.

Ottawa’s newest running event will pump much-needed dollars into mental-health supports for infants, children and teens at the children’s hospital.

“This is not simply about a run,” said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive of the CHEO Foundation.

Olympic athletes Segun Makinde, left, of Orléans, and Melissa Bishop, right, of Eganville, Ont., join Kanata South Coun. Alan Hubley, second from left, his wife Wendy, and Arnprior resident and former CHEO patient Dustin Garron at CHEO on Oct. 12. They helped celebrate the announcement of Ottawa’s newest running race – the RBC Race for the Kids, which will generate dollars for CHEO’s mental-health programs.

“It’s about raising money that’s going to go into funding the programs which are so essential.”

CHEO has witnessed a 75-per-cent increase in “crisis visits” to its emergency department over the past

five years, and a 50-per-cent spike in outpatient clinic referrals, said Alex Munter, CHEO’s president and chief executive.

Those dollars will help build an early intervention program for children up to

six years old that is being designed to foster healthy relationships between kids and their parents, said CHEO’s chief of psychiatry, Dr. Kathleen Pajer.

The money will also help fund CHEO’s new Choice

and Partnership Approach – or CAPA – which is a new mental-health care delivery model designed, in part, to reduce waiting lists for mental-health care.

Event aims to boost awareness Continued from page 44

As well, the money will target “head-to-toe” screenings, to allow the medical team to figure out of a patient who comes in for treatment of a physical ailment may also have a mental-health problem, she said.

It’s all about intervening early – long before a child or teen ever contemplates suicide.

“We’re about reducing suffering in our kids and making them strong and healthy to be the next generation of adults to run our country,” said Pajer, who plans to take part in next year’s run along with Karen Tataryn, CHEO’s retiring operations director of mental health patient services.

Garron was actually receiving mental-health care at CHEO at the same time as Kanata South Coun. Alan Hubley’s son Jamie.

Hubley fought back tears when he said the race announcement coincided with the fifth anniversary of the passing of his son, who died by suicide at age 15.

“The whole journey has all been about trying to make sure we can help others so they don’t have to go through this,” said Hubley. His wife Wendy was also in the audience.

Six months prior to the death of their severely bullied son, the worried parents began trying to navigate the health-care system in an effort to get Jamie the mental-health support he needed.

“We saw it as a maze. It was really hard back then,” Hubley said. “But it’s so much better today because of the support of big and small organizations.”

The new running event will also go a long way to boosting awareness.

“As people sign up, as people talk to their friends and neighbours and colleagues about the race and why they’re doing it, something else will be happening,” Munter said.

“And that is you will all be battling the stigma that surrounds mental health, and that is the reason why we, in fact, don’t have enough resources in our mental-health care delivery system.”

The RBC Race for the Kids, which will become an annual event in Ottawa, will feature timed 10- and five-kilometre closed-course runs, as well as an untimed five-kilometre family run. Registration will open on May 1, 2017.

With Ottawa added to the race series, the bank’s race is now being held in 12 cities in six different countries, and has generated more than $26.5 million for children’s charities.

Dates announced for Crashed Ice in Ottawa

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Mark your calendar – the dates have been set to determine who in the world is the best at hurling themselves down an ice hill.

Ottawa is set to host the Red Bull Crashed Ice world championship event at the Ottawa

Locks – beside the Chateau Laurier and Major’s Hill Park – on March 3 and 4.

The Red Bull Crashed Ice season was announced on Oct. 12. Leading up to Ottawa, the season will make stops in Marseille, France, on Jan. 13 and 14, Jyväskylä-Laajis, Finland, for a second year in a row on Jan. 20 and 21. Saint Paul, Minn. will

be the venue for the third race on Feb. 3 and 4, with the season concluding in Ottawa. In a press release, the championship’s sporting director Christian Papillon said this year welcomes two new environments.

“This sport just keeps growing in popularity every year and this year is definitely going to take it to the next level,” Papil-

lon said. “… Le Vieux Port de Marseille in France is a mindboggling location because it's not even close to being a winter city, and we're going to introduce a new location in Ottawa.

They're going to be insane.”

According to the organization, ice machines will create a race track to compensate for the Mediterranean temperatures in

Marseille.

The event features a downhill course, about 400-metres long, with jumps. Skaters can travel up to 82 kilometres per hour while skating downhill.

Racers compete four at a time, with the first two to cross the finish line advancing to the next round. There are both men’s and women’s divisions.

Event organizers have made a point to host events in urban areas with interesting backdrops – such as in Niagara Falls and Quebec City – and internationally in cities such as Moscow, Helsinki, and Valkenburg in the Netherlands. The course is built with spectator stands all around, lighting for evening events, and often features music and DJs.

You’re invited!

Province names Rowan’s 50% Off Law advisory committee $40 Only $20

exclusive

BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com

www.WagJag.com/gourmet

The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Sport and Culture has named 15 people who will serve on the Rowan’s Law concussion advisory committee for the next year, submitting their recommendations to the government in September 2017.

The committee’s mission is to help the province execute Rowan’s Law and boost the detection, prevention and treatment of head injuries across the province, particularly in young athletes and students.

The advisory committee, like Rowan’s Law itself, is named after Rowan Stringer, a 17-year-old Barrhaven athlete who died on May 12, 2013 as the result of concussions she sustained while playing rugby.

Over the next year, the Rowan’s Law Advisory Committee, named for Rowan Stringer, pictured, will develop recommendations to guide the province in implementing Rowan’s Law, presenting those recommendations in September 2017.

Experts and advocates to submit recommendations by 2017 Continued from page 48

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod pushed for concussion legislation in Stringer’s name, sponsoring a private member’s bill in 2015.

While she won’t sit on the committee, MacLeod said she will be watching from the sidelines to see how the law is implemented.

“The government went through their process and I was pleased to be part of it,” she said. “But it is their show now and I’m just gonna make sure that they continue to take this as a priority and that the work that emanates from this is implemented.”

Ontario’s legislature passed Rowan’s Law in June 2016, a little more than three years after Stringer’s death, creating the first concussion legislation of its kind in Canada.

Based on the 49 recommendations that came out of a coroner’s inquest into Stringer’s death, Rowan’s

Law will provide guidelines and tools for players, parents, teachers and coaches to prevent, diagnose and better respond to concussions.

Composed of medical experts, researchers, athletes and parents, the committee will review the 49 recommendations as well a best practices currently in use, and advise on practical ways to implement those recommendations.

It is chaired by Dr. Dan Cass, medical vice-president at St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto, and includes former NHL player Eric Lindros and Olympic gold medalist and gymnast Rosie MacLennan.

It also includes someone who has been committed to making Rowan’s Law reality from the movement’s beginning: Rowan Stringer’s father, Gordon Stringer.

“Aside from being Rowan’s father,” Stringer said. “I’m there to represent parents and

families in Ontario from the perspective of someone who has some concerns around concussions and is hoping to prevent our tragedy from reoccurring for another family in the province.”

Since the bill’s first reading, Stringer said, the group of people involved in supporting and implementing it has allowed him to feel optimistic about the outlook for young athletes who face the threat of concussions. He said that optimism has continued to grow with the formation of the committee.

“The composition to me was excellent,” he said.

“They’ve got representation from all different areas that need to be involved: sports, education, healthcare, and families.”

Algonquin College to receive $43M infrastructure boost STAFF

Algonquin College is poised to receive a $43-million infrastructure investment intended to help increase the school’s capacity for creating jobs, contributing to research and fostering innovation.

Ottawa West-Nepean MP Anita Vandenbeld announced the joint federal-provincial investment at the college on Oct. 12, standing in for Navdeep

Bains, federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

Vandenbeld was joined by Ottawa West–Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli.

“I have experienced firsthand Algonquin College’s impact in our community as an educator and bridge builder,” Vandenbeld said in a media release. “With this investment we are ensuring Algonquin College will continue to provide a

world-class education.”

The investment is the product of commitments by the college, two levels of government and other sources to enhance and modernize the school’s research facilities and make them more environmentally sustainable.

As a result, $21.9 million will come from the federal government and $2.9 million will come from the provincial government. The college will con-

tribute $9.5 million and other sources will contribute an additional $10 million.

According to Algonquin College president Cheryl Jensen, the funds will be used by the college to construct a new “world class facility,” which will allow the college to “engage with our communities and industry in new ways and create exciting opportunities for our region and beyond.” Jensen said in a media release that the

school will also collaborate with Indigenous communities to develop a new Institute for Indigenous Entrepreneurship.

The federal government’s investment – allocated through the Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund – is in line with its innovation agenda, which aims to make Canada a global centre for innovation.

The provincial government’s contribution is part of a $160-billion, 12-year-long

commitment to improving public infrastructure in Ontario.

Chiarelli described an investment in the post-secondary institution as an investment in economic growth.

“We know that providing access to high-quality education and training facilities is critical to building the highly-skilled workforce we need to support good jobs and economic growth,” he said in a media release.

Hibernian Society would be grateful for Mary and Richard’s efforts

M

other liked to take a trip into Ottawa to visit our Lyon Street relatives before fall changed to winter. It was always on a Saturday, since it was a long trip to make in the old Model T and we’d stay overnight.

I was thrilled, because 129 Lyon St. was always a hive of activity. Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny, their daughter Lil and Uncle Dick, and of course, my cousin Richard, all lived in the tenement house, and goodness knows how many families on the floors above. I knew all of Northcote could fit into that old red brick house.

It was a bright and warm fall day when we wheeled into the cinder yard that separated 129 Lyon St. from the fire station next door. As always, Mother came with the car loaded with potatoes, a couple plump chickens and a basket of crab apples.

My cousin Richard was as excited as I was when we

MARY COOK Memories climbed out of the car and he whispered in my ear that he had a great idea how we could spend the afternoon. We went right into the parlour, dark and dank with big pieces of deep red, velvet furniture and an old upright piano crowed into the small room.

Richard showed me a stack of papers and a sign propped against the big velvet sofa. I could only read the first words, being in Primer book and all at the Northcote School, but Richard who was very familiar with the sign, read in whispers, running his finger along the words. “Help

support the Hibernian Society.” And there was a picture of Aunt Vanetta’s church underneath the printing.

Richard grabbed a handful of the papers and the sign, took hold of my hand and led me out onto the street. I had no idea what we were doing, but I figured it had something to do with Aunt Vanetta’s church, so it must be all right.

“Here, you carry the papers,” Richard said. “I’ll carry the sign.” He produced a blue and white granite cup, one like Uncle Johnny drank his tea from and with the sign close to his chest, we started

walking down Lyon Street.

Every time we met someone, Richard, all of seven-yearsold, put on the saddest face I had ever seen and said, “Please help the Hibernian Society.” If someone put a penny or two in the cup, it was my job to hand them a sheet of paper off the pile I was carrying.

Never thinking anything we were doing was dishonest, I marveled at the pile of

been at our begging about half an hour, he grabbed the papers out of my hands, and with the sign, tucked the whole lot into a hedge we were passing on Lyon Street.

He emptied the cup of coins into his pocket and got rid of the cup too. We headed right for Richard’s favourite candy store on Albert Street. Unfortunately, Richard’s father, Uncle Dick was coming home from work, spied us, pulled

‘After we had been at our begging about half an hour, he grabbed the papers out of my hands, and with the sign, tucked the whole lot into a hedge we were passing on Lyon Street.’ coins gathering in the bottom of the tin cup and was sure the Hibernians would be especially pleased. Well, Richard had other ideas. After we had

over to the curb and told us to climb in the car. Now, Uncle Dick was a smart man. It didn’t take him all day to see, and hear, Richard’s pocket

bulging with the money.

When we got back to the house and Uncle Dick heard Richard’s confession, he and Uncle Johnny laughed so hard, I thought they’d throw up. Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lil didn’t see anything funny about the whole issue and Aunt Vanetta immediately took out her rosary, and started to say her beads, Aunt Lil ordered Richard to get out his catechism, and I was sent to the parlour to look through the family bible! The coins were spread out on the table, and I knew without a doubt, the Hibernian Society would be a few dollars richer, but I was reasonably sure they would have no idea where the money had come from.

Swiss cheese fondue great for entertaining A popular entertaining dish from the ‘60s and ‘70s, fondue has recently been rediscovered. If you don’t have a fondue pan, place the mixture in a flame-proof container set over lit candles to keep it warm. The trick for silky, smooth fondue is finely shredded cheese added very slowly over low heat.

Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 7 minutes Serves: Six to eight INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz (250 g) Swiss-style cheese, finely shredded (2

cups/500 mL) • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) dry white wine • 1 clove garlic, crushed • Freshly grated nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

In large bowl, toss cheese with cornstarch until cheese is well coated. Set aside.

In medium saucepan, combine wine and garlic.

Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Very gradually add

cheese mixture a handful at a time and cook, stirring, until melted and thick.

Remove from heat and season with nutmeg and pepper to taste. Immediately transfer to warm fondue pot or dish and surround it with prosciutto-wrapped apple and pear wedges, cooked potato cubes and buttered sautĂŠed mushrooms.

Thrills to transform Billings Estate ‘Haunted House on the Hill’ runs Oct. 14 to 29

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Heart-pounding.

Creepy.

Figures lurking in the gloom.

This usually doesn’t describe the historic Billings Estate Museum, though strange and unexplained occurrences have reportedly spooked staff there over the years.

But as Halloween approaches, the estate will be transformed – for the first time ever – into a ‘Haunted House on the Hill,’ a chilling spectacle designed not for the faint of heart.

“We’re really focusing on people’s phobias, and using those phobias to create an experience where people will have to confront their fears,” said Amy Kudrinko, project manager for Haunted House on the Hill.

Groups of four can dare to go on a heart-pounding 30-minute self-guided tour of the 3.4-hectare site. Visitors – who are welcome to arrive dressed in costume – will start out at the guesthouse, and brace themselves for what’s to come.

While waiting for their turn to begin, visitors can watch the Dracula-themed silent film, Nosferatu.

Guests can then bravely follow a lit trail around the grounds, past a cemetery where almost 150 people, including

about 16 members of the Billings family, were buried between 1820 and 1960.

Upwards of 30 volunteers and staff members will be dressed in costume to heighten the thrill visitors will likely expect.

EXPECT BIG SCARES

Once darkness falls over the grounds, the property becomes the perfect setting for scares.

“The site is creepy at night,” Brahm Lewandowski, the city’s administrator, said of the home which used to be known as Park Hill – thus the hill reference.

When silence falls over the grounds at the end of each day, the house becomes cloaked in eeriness and the creaking house sends chills up the spine.

“That

way

to

“When the house is closed and dimly lit, it takes on a different light,” he said.

During the fright night, people will also be allowed into the house to experience five different scares, featuring both subtle and obvious frights, on the main floor, upstairs and – of course – in the basement.

“It’s really an experience that people are going to have to come to see for themselves,” Lewandowski said, remaining tight-lipped about what’s in store for those who will brave the event, which is being designed for ages 16 and up.

Those aged 13 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

There will be safety mechanisms in place in case guests become too scared. Lewandowski

said the event would not be gory.

But the spooky spectacle is designed for people who enjoy a good fright, and to draw in big fans of Halloween.

“I think people like pushing the boundaries of their comfort level to some extent,” said Lewandowski. “And this is one way to do that.”

Halloween on the Hill takes place Fridays and Saturdays, from Oct. 14 to 29, beginning at 7 p.m.

The last tour gets underway at 10:30 p.m.

The cost is $10.20 per person, and visitors can reserve specific time slots in advance.

More volunteers are welcome, and those interested must sign up by Oct. 16.

Last-minute admission may be possible at the door, but is not guaranteed.

For details, to make reservations or to volunteer, call 613247-4830, or email museums@

The estate will once again embrace Halloween without the creepiness.

Two séances, featuring a psychic medium, planned for the evening of Oct. 23 and 30 have already been sold out with 30 reservations.

An annual Halloween party geared to children ages three to 12 is always a popular draw.

Families are invited to dress in costume and drop in during the event Oct. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., for a bevy of activities, including trick-or-treating, crafting fake blood and flapping bats.

There will also be a costume parade.

The cost is $6.15 each, $10.20 for two and $16.35 per family.

Sewage tunnel gets thumbs up from government

BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Municipal, provincial and federal politicians gathered along the banks of the Ottawa River on Oct. 11 to highlight funding given to the combined sewage storage tunnel.

The $62.09 million in funding was originally announced in April 2015 by the previous Conservative federal government and is being matched by the province.

Mayor Jim Watson said the Oct. 11 gathering was to celebrate the confirmation that the previously announced funding is in indeed in the federal budget of the current Liberal government.

“There was an election in the interim, we had to make sure the funding was still in place,” he said after a press conference.

“So we appreciate the previous government starting the process, and the current government for finishing it.”

The project is a part of the Ottawa River Action Plan to clean up the water in the Ottawa River.

It will see two tunnels built, including an east-west tunnel through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to New Edinburgh Park, and a north-south tunnel along Kent Street from Catherine Street to existing infrastructure behind the Supreme Court of Canada.

The combined sewage storage tunnel, which is already under construction, will store water during heavy rainfall so it can be cleaned before being returned to the river.

It is supposed to reduce the amount of raw sewage entering the river by 95 per cent.

“The Ottawa River is the jewel of Ottawa, and we need to do

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

more,” said federal Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, who represents the Ottawa Centre riding.

Orléans MP Andrew Leslie said the project will especially benefit “those of us in Orléans and Vanier who are downstream.”

The city’s public beach at Petrie Island has battled frequent closures over the years due to high e-coli counts.

Watson said one of the driving forces behind the Ottawa River Action Plan has been Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette, who spoke up because of the frequent beach closures at Petrie.

Other public facilities along the water have also been affected over

Earlier in the day, just downstream, local paddlers reacted to the news after a groundbreaking for a new clubhouse.

Alison Smedley, who has been training at the Pumphouse Whitewater facility for the past 18 years, said the cleanup effort has been a long-time coming.

“It doesn’t feel like a natural space when the water turns brown,” Smedley said.

A warning light was installed to let paddlers know if it’s safe to ride the water, but Smedley said that typically she and other canoe and kayakers know if they are able to train on any given day based on the smell in the air.

The city of Ottawa will contribute $108 million to the project, due for completion in December 2019.

Friends of the Carp Hills celebrate Crazy Horse Trail opening

BY SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Sunday morning’s rainy weather may have kept some away from the opening of the Crazy Horse Trail near Carp but it did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of organizers and supporters.

Janet Mason, chair of Friends of the Carp Hills (FCH), was joined by trail coordinator Bernard Proulx and West Carleton Coun. Eli ElChantiry, along with volunteers and hikers, for the Oct. 15 opening of the pedestrianonly trail.

“We had 17 people come out, plus five of the FCH executive. We had two groups of hikers who went out despite the rain; one group did the side loops, which took about an hour, and the second group hiked the whole main trail (6.2 km), which took two hours,” said Mason.

The opening included the

unveiling of the trail’s new sign, which will be installed in a few weeks at the trail head

by March Road where it intersects with Huntmar Drive.

The trail sits on 200 acres of City of Ottawa-owned property and is located near the old Crazy Horse bar, which burned down “quite a few years ago,” said Mason.

“We thought to maintain the history of the old Crazy Horse bar we would call this the Crazy Horse Trail,” she said.

For many years, people were using private land, with “tacit” permission of the landowners to “mostly crosscountry ski and hike on and even do some snowmobiling,” said Mason.

“But as the population has increased this is not attractive to a lot of the landowners,” she said.

“We felt that in order for people to appreciate the Carp Hills and want to protect it,

RE/MAX HALLMARK REALTY LTD., BROKERAGE

they need to experience it. We felt that if we could provide a trail on public land this would help more people care about the Carp Hills.”

The trail has been made to be low-impact and sensitive to the ecology of the Carp Hills.

A city ecologist, Dr. Nick Stowe, helped organizers as they laid the trail to ensure sensitive ecological features were respected.

More interpretive signs will be installed in the future marking some of the unique and significant areas.

“We did discover a fen back here that is filled with hundreds of orchids during a particular time of year,” said Mason. “This in also the only significant outcropping of Canadian Shield within the city.”

Mason thanked the Community Foundation of Ottawa for the grant that funded much of the trail development, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust, Deka Home Hardware,

Trail co-ordinator Bernard Proulx, second from right, joins a group of enthusiastic hikers who braved the rainy weather for a Sunday morning jaunt. and El-Chantiry, who facilitated city support for the endeavor.

The councilor thanked Janet and all involved in the creation of the trail.

“It’s not too often you go to a public meeting about opening a trail and you get everyone in agreement,” said El-Chantiry. “We had the

snowmobile club, they were happy because you’re going to be next to them but not really on the snowmobile trail.

We talked to the landowners, they’re happy because the proper signage will keep us on our own property.”

FCH and the city are working with other conservation organizations, including

Ducks Unlimited, on future trail developments, he explained.

He also saluted the volunteers for their extensive work on the project.

“It is a labour of love,” said El-Chantiry. “We have a group of volunteers, they do this with their heart and for that I am grateful.”

Teaching summit focuses on technology La Cité collégiale welcomes Chris Hadfield, Google program manager

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

What does virtual reality, escape rooms and coding have to do with education?

Well according to the organizers of a technology conference at La Cité collégiale, they indeed hve everything to do with education.

The east-end French-language college will host EdInnovation 2016 Bilingual Ottawa – a technology conference with the objective to help teachers integrate technology to enhance student learning in kindergarten through Grade 12.

The event will take place over two days, Oct. 22 and 23, and will focus on new ways for teachers to engage students by using today’s

technology.

Technology educator at La Cité, Lise Galuga, is organizing the event and said the summit focuses on giving teachers the tools to teach students more effectively.

“There is value in allowing students to have liberty in learning,” Galuga said.

“This summit allows teachers to give the students that feeling of being in control of the learning environment.”

The college has partnered with the Ottawa Catholic School Board, the French Catholic School Board, the French public school board of Eastern Ontario, the University of Ottawa and Le centre d’innovation pédagogique.

This is the third year the college will host the event and, according to the college, this is the largest bilingual technology conference in Canada, And, an added benefit, is that because it’s being held on a weekend, school boards can send more teachers.

CHANCE

“Last year, 65 per cent of those who attended were repeat attendees – which is huge. They said it’s the best professional development they can get. They don’t have to worry about students, or prep, they just come here to learn.”

So far, 1,250 teachers and school administrators are planning to attend the summit.

Galuga said all of Samuel Genest Catholic School has tickets to attend.

“The entire staff is going to come and learn, which is great because everyone is taking in the same message,” she said.

This year the summit will have two keynote presentations from Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and Google program manager John Bailey.

“We have the grandfather of Google street view coming, and a Canadian astronaut – we are so fortunate,” Galuga said.

Galuga said Hadfield will

Chance was adopted from the Ottawa Humane Society last November as a special needs cat for having a chronic ear infection and head tilt! He is the most adventurous and affectionate cat, always chatting (loudly as he can’t hear himself) and wanting to make new friends. He even has his own stroller as he is training to become a therapy cat!

speak about how educators can push beyond comfort levels and try new things and Bailey will lead attendees on a virtual reality journey to the International Space Station using Google Cardboard – a custom headset made out of cardboard which uses smartphones to create a virtual reality.

Aside from inspirational keynotes, Galuga said there are more than 250 workshop sessions teachers can choose from for eight sessions over the two days.

Galuga said participants will learn ways to implement everything from individual lessons to school-wide technology programs as a way to build 21st century skills in students while they learn academic subjects.

For Galuga, she said it

would be hard to just pick eight sessions but coding, how to understand copyright in a digital world and learning how to create using street view as a few of her favourites.

Although the summit is geared toward educators, Galuga adds parents and students are also welcome to attend.

‘We have the grandfather of Google street view coming, and a Canadian astronaut – we are so fortunate.’

LISE GALUGA

“These are all skills that everyone can use, there are enough sessions that people can relate to and learn from,” she said.

Before attending the EdInnovation Summit, Galuga said the college suggests educators prioritize sessions they want to attend, in case they fill up quickly.

“That way, you’ll have a first, second and third choice for every session,” she said.

There is no pre-registration for sessions.

Participants are welcome to drop in and out of sessions as they please if they find a session is not what they expected.

Lastly, Galuga said everyone should come with all devices – laptops, Ipads and cell phones — fully charged and bring charging cords.

Tickets and information about the summit are available at edinnovation2016. collegelacite.ca.

The summit will held both days from 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at La Cité, 801 Aviation Parkway. People are invited to follow the event on Twitter #EdInnovation2016.

I am not a kitten but not an old man either; a mature gentleman of 4-5 years old ready to move in with you.

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, you will soon learn that any obstacle can be overcome if you set your mind to it. While a certain task may seem daunting right now, you won’t allow it to intimidate you.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Others are paying attention to you even if they seem distracted, Taurus.

Embrace the scrutiny and do your best to reciprocate any special attention coming your way.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make an effort to be there for a loved one this week. You have a unique ability to listen and support others, and your loved one will not take your efforts for granted.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if your energy and attention span is a bit scattered this week, take steps to ensure all of your responsibilities are taken care of. A respite is on the horizon.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, by observing others you can learn how they operate and make the most of your chances to work with them. Apply a similar approach to your personal relationships.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Try to tackle a financial project this week, Virgo. Select something relatively easy to begin with, and then go from there if you find yourself in a financial groove.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It’s time to get the creative juices flowing, Libra. Tackle a project around the house, like painting or rearranging a room. Look for a new creative hobby as well.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have a lot of energy and a need to strive toward perfection in all that you do. Those traits will prove valuable around the office this week.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Keep trying to convince someone that your ideas are credible, Sagittarius.

With a little more persuasion, you may win this person over and he or she will become a big supporter.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you don’t want to go along with what the group is doing this week, you just may have to concede that what is best for the group trumps your personal preference.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, financial issues may be keeping you on your toes, but it’s nothing you can’t handle if you stick to your plan. You may want to do some tinkering, however.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, continue to bring the right people into your inner circle. One person in particular has your eye and might be just what you need.
