Food cupboard seeks cash, food, toy donations for hampers Continued from page 1

METROLAND FILE PHOTO

A firefighter collects donations during a past Santa Claus Parade. Jolly Old St. Nick will once again be in Kanata this Saturday, Nov. 12. Cash donations and food items for the Kanata Food Cupboard will be collected along the route. The food cupboard is also seeking people to adopt families through its Adopt-a-Family program this holiday season as numbers are projected to reach 500 families seeking assistance.

“This time of year heading into November, December is definitely our busiest time where we see the most amount of demand for our services,” she said. Last year, the food cupboard helped 440 families during the holidays. Sudds said they are expecting that number to rise this year as the need each month has grown. To date, 165 families have signed up, and 48 of them are adopted, said Karen Waters, client co-ordinator at the food cupboard. “I anticipate, the way it’s going and the forms that are coming in that are new to us already, we are going to hit the 500 mark,” she said. On average and dependant on the weather, the food cupboard receives about $5,000 in cash donations and a “significant” amount of food items at the holiday parade, said Sudds.

Firefighters, who volunteer their time, will march in the parade and collect cash donations from the public.

individuals, either directly through the food cupboard or through its Adopt-a-Family program. Just over half the families were adopted last year. “As long as they live in Kanata we help them out,” said Waters. “I've done hampers on Christmas Eve myself. I don’t turn families away.” Sudds said they are encouraging more people to get involved in the program to help the rising numbers of those requesting assistance. “We hope with some push that we can really up the numbers of families that do get adopted,” she said. Those interested in adopting a family, and those requesting support, can fill out a form online at kanatafoodcupboard.ca. The two are then matched together, said Sudds, adding the process is confidential. Families that request a hamper fill out the genders,

ages, and clothing sizes for all its members, as well as any special requests, making it easy for the adopters to provide useful and needed items. “Because the holidays are such a stressful time, particularly for people trying to make ends meet, the feedback is really phenomenal, people are very appreciative of the extra help,” said Sudds. “A lot of the families that do get adopted, the families or companies that do the adopting really put a lot of thought and care into the hampers. “It’s a great feeling of giving back. I think those that are involved really value the opportunity to give back at Christmas time.” The people that receive assistance are very grateful, said Waters. “A lot of them wouldn’t have Christmas if it wasn’t for us and the donors helping; it’s an expensive time of METROLAND FILE PHOTO year that really hits them,” she said. “The families that we’ve Santa Claus comes to town on Saturday, Nov. 12.

I’d expect it’s going to be, when we’re done, a really great project and a good read.” He’s already reached out to

Homework a detriment?

he last thing I want to do when I get home from work is do more work. Sadly, that’s precisely the mentality for elementary school children, who seem to be saddled with hours of homework every night. There are some hilarious Internet memes about science projects and speeches, with parents saying things like, “I got an A!” Is it any wonder the parents take credit for the projects when we’re often the ones spending countless evening hours hovering over our children, ruler in hand, teaching them how to source properly on the Internet. In Spain, the CEAPA, which represents 12,000 parent and teacher organizations, has designated November as “the month without duties.” In other words, Spaniards are in outright protest against homework, which they see as detrimental to family life and wellness. More than 80 per cent of parents in Spain believe their kids are receiving too much homework. GET ENGAGED

The CEAPA would rather see after school hours spent with families engaging in activities like “visiting museums”, “playing board games” or “mapping out a route on public transportation together”. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking to presume parents and families would replace homework time with collective bonding activities such as those suggested by the CEAPA. If statistics are anything to go by, it may just give us more collective time to consume Netflix. According to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, 40 per cent of Canadians stream five hours

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse or more per week of TV, movies and videos on the Internet, far more than our counterparts in the United States. Moreover, much of today’s homework, even for the youngest children in elementary school, is moving online. Homework, which has always disproportionately benefited the middle class, may trigger a further divide by being moved online. Kids in lower-income homes are much less likely to have a parent present, with a good Internet connection and a device to conduct daily activities, putting them at a distinct disadvantage. “In shifting learning from the classroom to the home, we risk shifting benefits to middle and upper-middle class families,” explained Peter Chaban, a teacher and researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto to the hospital’s online publication. “With a parent close by, a computer and Internet access and a quiet, organized space for homework, kids in uppermiddle class families have a real advantage.” Beyond the disproportionate benefit to middle and upper class kids, however, homework today necessarily sees children spending evermore time on screens. A study conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) warns that extended time online has a detrimental

impact on social relationships and family cohesiveness. Specifically, excessive screen time draws our attention away from real people, can make bullying and harassment more pronounced and makes it easier for kids to connect with their peers instead of parents, notes the report, entitled Unplug and Connect. “Using technology more and more may cause us to connect less and less with each other,” notes the CHEO report. “Mental health professionals are becoming concerned, because they are seeing more and more youth with emotional and behavioural problems.” This, they argue, makes “strong bonds between parents, children and youth are more important than ever.” So perhaps it’s time to take the lead from the Spaniards – down with homework! Instead of working on that pesky autobiography on Google Slideshare (you know, the one the kids seem to do every year), why not “talk about gender violence”, “prepare a new recipe”, or “spend a day together in the field”, as the CEAPA suggests. Surely, all of these will have a greater positive impact on the cohesiveness of the family unit than the daily battle over multiplication tables.

Trust is a two-way street in politics

he Progressive Conservatives in a riding that has yet to see a provincial election are shooting themselves in the foot with a shady nomination

process. The new riding of Carleton will be in play in the 2018 provincial election as the current riding of Nepean-Carleton is split in two due to population growth. It includes much of rural south Ottawa and Stittsville. The folks who were elected to the PC riding association in Carleton have been accused by fellow conservatives of stacking the deck to ensure which candidate ends up on the provincial ballot. There are whispers that the party’s leader, Patrick Brown, is pulling strings to get a preferred candidate selected. When friends of a particular candidate control a riding executive, they can set nomination rules, change the rules, change key dates for paperwork and meetings, and arbitrarily disqualify other candidates.

Welcome to Carleton. It’s a fool’s game. Leadership must trust party members to pick a good candidate. Only then will the grassroots trust the leadership. A cup of bitterness and a pinch of meanness make for a perfect recipe if you want to turn off potential PC voters. Liberals are waiting for the mess to settle, and will then be in good shape to choose a candidate who immediately appears above the fray. If the PC machinations turn off enough voters, and the Liberals name a squeaky clean candidate, the new Carleton riding will be in play. At the riding executive level, the members who are pulling the strings are blinded by ambition and short-sighted goals. They think getting the “right” person on the ballot is the ultimate outcome, when getting an electable person on the ballot should be the focus. Time will tell. The provincial election is scheduled for June 7, 2018.

Self-driving us all to frustrating distraction

nce again the self-driving car is in the news. Various advocates have been touring, various manufacturers have been talking about manufacturing it and, all in all, it appears as if the day is drawing closer. A dream has been presented to us. In the dream, traffic congestion and air pollution have disappeared because people have given up owning gas guzzling SUVs and opted for adorable little electric vehicles they can summon to take them where they want. Parking lots are no longer necessary so cities can have more parks and housing. Automobile accidents are a thing of the past because the smart little electric vehicles know how to avoid them. What a wonderful world. Why do I keep thinking of the

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Rhinoceros Party and its proposal, back in the 1980s, that Canada switch to driving on the left-hand side of the road and that the change be phased in — first, with trucks and buses. Things could go wrong, in other words. The question, really, is not how smart the driverless cars are, but how smart we are. Because if we are not smart, we could be in for trouble. That always happens when we let our consumer self overwhelm our citizen self. Think of the Internet. We fall in love with its convenience and

capacity to entertain and forget about other aspects. Daily newspapers are dying. Think of the Internet as the driverless newspaper. The music and publishing industries are in decline. Lots of folks are out of work. That probably could have been avoided if we were smarter as the Internet was developing. Will there be smart thinking in advance of the smart car? There better be. If fewer drivers are needed for those trucks and buses and delivery vehicles what, exactly, happens to those people?

make up for the ones lost? Maybe, but we haven’t been very good at creating jobs for the people who no longer work in, for example, the pulp and paper industry, or the people whose jobs have been automated out of existence. That’s one thing. The other is more in the realm of science fiction, but then, what’s more science fiction than a self-driving car? Since self-driving cars depend on computers and since computers, as we see every day, can be hacked, who is to say that the controls of our adorable little non-polluting vehicles won’t, from time to time, fall into the wrong hands? It could be pranksters, or worse. Do you want Julian Assange driving you to work? If hackers can disable websites, can’t they also disable cars? And think of the chaos that would develop if that happened.

Miracles can still happen. The system could work, the hackers could be thwarted, a new economy could be created and we would all live happily ever after, no longer slaves to the automobile. But there will be one final test: Can thousands of self-driving cars self-drive themselves out of the Canadian Tire Centre parking lot on a hockey night?

Councillors ask staff to develop policy on large gifts BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Giver Park at Mooney’s Bay and the proposal for a mountain bike track at Carlington Park highlight the need for a policy on donations to the city, said River Coun. Riley Brockington, during a meeting of the city’s finance and economic development committee on Nov. 1. “A policy with respect to donations would benefit residents,” Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said during the introduction of the motion. The proposal, moved by Deans, would give staff direction to develop a policy. The controversial mega park at Mooney’s Bay included a $1-million donation from Sinking Ship Entertainment. Many area residents took issue with the lack of consultation about the placement, location and size of the park – meant to celebrate the country’s 150th birthday. The city’s community and

protective services committee considered the mountain bike park, but again, residents complained about a lack of consultation. "If there were a specific policy in place, we could ensure the public is consulted in the project’s early stages," Brockington said. The motion would require city staff to look at issues of delegated authority around donations,

as well as public engagement strategy and the accountability and transparency policy. According to the notice of motion, the aim would be to develop guidelines that are at an arm’s length from any city decision-making process. It would provide criteria and a process for the acceptance of donations. Staff will bring recommendations back to committee in the second quarter of 2017.

City examines getting kids to school safely STAFF

There are a lot of partners working to make sure Ottawa school children get to school safely, the city’s transportation committee heard Nov. 2. Ottawa Public Health works with schools to get more students walking to and from school, a report by city staff says. A report by the health authority found that only one in five students re-

ported walking to and from school. So OPH has been working with schools to promote walkability and walking school buses – scheduled group walks to school led by an adult. OPH conducts assessments for schools identified as appropriate for walking. These walkability assessments identify issues that may be a barrier to walking and cycling in a school’s neighbourhood, the report reads.

* Two clinical studies have shown that binax provides better than normal hearing in certain demanding environments (University of Northern Colorado, 2014; Oldenburg Hörzentrum, 2013): Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT) in cocktail-party situations improved up to 2.9 dB for wearers with mild to moderate hearing loss using Carat binax or Pure binax hearing aids with narrow directionality, compared to people with normal hearing. ** An independent clinical study in the US has shown that primax provided a significant improvement in ease of listening in demanding listening environments. A newly developed methodology using objective brain behavior measures (Electroencephalographic data), showed a significant reduction in listening effort for mild to moderate hearing impaired subjects using primax hearing aids in speech-in-noise situations applying advanced features such as Narrow Focus and EchoShield.

Public Health working on changing drinking culture Bystanders more willing to step in when they see someone who appears to be under the influence BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

While six out of ten Ottawa drinkers are moderate or low-risk, according to a report by Ottawa Public Health staff, there’s still more work to be done. The aim of the work is to shift the culture to one of alcohol moderation, but right now four of ten people are still practicing risky drinking behaviours, said Jacqueline Roy, who works in the health promotion and disease prevention unit of OPH. The statistics show that 83 per cent of adults drink and 44 per cent of young adults binge drink. Perhaps even more troubling, is that 47 per cent of grades seven to 12 students admit to drinking. Aside from the direct health impacts, are the second-hand effects, Roy said. “The police deal with 4,000 alcohol-related offenses annually, so that’s a big burden,” said Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Isra Levy.

The report also has emergency room information from the Ottawa Hospital. One of the more troubling statistics was that 90 per cent of sexual assaults involved alcohol. “People need to stop seeing it as an individual issue, and start seeing it as a community issue,” Roy said. Levy said with numbers like a death every three days, people should start paying more attention. “In any other context, I would be calling in the crisis unit,” he said. But when I talk about it in relation to alcohol I am met with bewilderment and contempt.” Roy said it’s going to take a generation to change society’s attitudes. “Look at how long it took to change attitudes towards using seatbelts and smoking,” she said. Board member Dr. Atul Kapur said work needs to be done to de-normalize drinking and have bystanders more willing to step in when they see someone who appears to be under the influence.

Board of health approves plan to register tattoo, beauty parlours BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

What if that relaxing pedicure could make you sick? That’s what public health officials are trying to prevent with a plan to create a registry of personal service settings – which would include tattoo parlours, spas and hair salons. There are gaps in infection prevention and control said Dr. Vera Etches, associate medical officer of health, while making a pitch for a registry and the ability to fine businesses that don’t take proper precautions at the Nov. 3 board of health meeting. “There’s nothing to require businesses to let us know they exist,” said Etches. “And enforcement isn’t as nuanced as we’d like.” Etches said there are more than 1,000 personal services settings in the city. In the report that was presented to the board, staff estimated there 3,434 deficien-

cies found in inspections of personal services since 2013. More than half – 55 per cent were considered critical. The majority of the complaints deemed critical involved hygiene, either the cleanliness of the establishment or the storage and handling of equipment. Staff also estimated that four or five stores had been closed in the last year due to repeated infractions around reusing items intended for one use only and not cleaning their tools properly. Dr. Atul Kapur, a board member said the number of repeat offenders is high, and wondered why staff recommended registration – rather than licensing.

“Registration is normally a one-time thing, whereas licensing would have a period of renewal,” he said. Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Isra Levy said that traditionally licensing is five times more expensive than typical registration fees. “We didn’t want to put people out of business in order to get them to comply,” he said. The board approved the plan, next steps would be approval by council, then work with the province to apply for the fines. Etches said most people think personal services settings are already licensed. The guidelines would be similar to existing infection control guidelines, staff said.

Don Palmer, Causeway’s executive director, introduces the Causeway Community Finance Fund - a pilot project available to its clients to get small loans from local credit unions providing an alternative to payday lending.

Causeway Work Centre presents alternative to payday lending BY MELISSA MURRAY

DR. ROBERTO GALLARDO

Dr. Roberto Gallardo NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

mmurray@metroland.com

Community leaders and politicians are hoping a new pilot project will put payday loan shops out of business. On Nov. 4, Causeway

Work Centre, a not-for-profit agency that supports people to find work and live more independently, announced a partnership with local credit unions to provide small short-term loans at fair rates to help break the cycle of payday lending.

Don Palmer, Causeway’s executive director, explained the organization has raised $100,000 for the loans, which will available to Causeway clients during the one-year pilot project. See PROVINCE, page 20

Province changes the rules around payday locations Continued from page 18

Palmer explained that clients will be screened by Causeway and will have to undergo some financial literacy training before being approved for the loans, which clients will receive from the credit unions. Causeway has partnered with Alterna Savings, Your Credit Union and Frontline Credit Union, which made financial and op-

erational contributions to the fund. “This program has been the twinkle in our eye for six years,” Palmer said during the announcement of the Causeway Community Finance Fund. Already working with clients with financial issues, Palmer said few clients had access to savings or credit and even fewer understood how credit worked. “We heard some dishearten-

ing stories not just from our own clients but the community in general,” Palmer said. Just the day before, Palmer said he was speaking to a client about his struggle with payday loans. On Ontario Disability Support Payments, he didn’t have the money to spay his cat, so he took out a $200 loan. When he couldn’t pay it, he got another loan. Since then, that loan has more than dou-

bled, Palmer said. “As he says there was no alternative,” Palmer said. In Ontario there are more than 800 payday lending outlets, providing $1.5 billion in loans to about 400,000 customers. The average loan in Ontario is about $435. Payday lenders offer loans of up to $1,500. The cost of $100 loan, which is regulated by the provincial government, is $21. The cost to the borrower for a 10-day $300 loan is $63, which is an annual interest rate of 550 per cent. The pilot program will be flexible, so that those who miss one or two payments won’t just default on their loans. Loans

will be paid back at a rate of prime plus two to six per cent. “It’s not free money by any means,” Palmer said. If there is a default at any point, it comes back to Causeway. According to Palmer, there are a couple of similar programs being offered across Canada. “I feel that other people will jump on this bandwagon, if we can prove it actually works.” That’s what Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi is hoping happens as news of the project spreads. “This endeavour is incredible. It’s something that we need to do, and I’m really hopeful,”

Naqvi said. “Our banks and our credit unions have a very important responsibility, they have the expertise, the knowledge and the resources to put payday loan businesses out of business.” Just the day before, the provincial government proposed changes to the Payday Loans Act. It would allow municipalities to limit the number of lending institutions and use zoning rules to regulate their location through licensing. “It makes it more difficult to prey on the vulnerable and lets municipalities use their rules around where they are located,” Naqvi said.

Remembrance Day It was my privilege to stand up in the House of Commons this week to pay tribute to our Veterans. From the battlefields of the Great War 100 years ago, through World War II, Korea and modern conflicts such as the Gulf, Balkans, and Afghanistan, members of the Canadian Armed Forces have served with unparalleled bravery and distinction. Theirs has been an example of the best in all us: courage in the face of danger, tenacity for building a better world, imbued with a spirit of collaboration and compassion. As we commemorate Veterans Week, I urge all Canadians to seek out our Veterans, members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families to thank them for their service and sacrifice. I hope you join me on the 11th of November at the Kanata Cenotaph, in the Village Green Memorial Park near Earl of March Secondary School, at 11 am. Armed Forces Appreciation Night I was extremely pleased to welcome to Kanata and the Canadian Tire Centre the Hon. Kent Hehr Minister of Veterans Affairs, Lieutenant-General Whitecross, Lieutenant-General Hood, Lieutenant-General Wynnyk, Vice-Admiral Lloyd, members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and their families for Canadian Armed Forces appreciation night! It was great to see everyone enjoying an exciting 2-1 overtime win for the Ottawa Senators, and it was wonderful to spend time with our serving men and women. Children’s Shopping Village It was great to join Marianne Wilkinson to fill gift bags for the Childrens Shopping Village at the Bridge Church in Kanata. Since 1993 more than 124 million Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes have been collected and distributed around the world. It is such a terrific gesture of hope and humanity to give to others during the holiday season. Thanks to the organizers at the Bridge Church for their great work! The Athletes Parade I would like to congratulate all members of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic teams and thank them for joining us in the House of Commons during the Athletes Parade. They are all such great ambassadors for Canada, representing us so well on the world stage. Our great Athletes showed excellent sportsmanship and friendly competition at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Wings of Courage, The Story of Canadian Pilots I was honoured to attend and serve as Master of Ceremony at the to celebrate the Wings of Courage trilogy, on behalf of the Honorable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage. This documentary tells us of the exploits and dangers that Canadian Pilots faced during the First World War, and is a ‘must see’ for everyone! Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review I would like to take a moment to thank all members of the Canadian Armed Forces for their service. Thank you for keeping Canada safe. We will remember.

Despite the challenges of a growing and aging population, along with a record number of shootings and homicides for 2016, the Ottawa police budget will stick to a two per cent, or $8.9 million, increase. The increase would bring the gross operating budget to $320.2 million.

City Councillor, Kanata North LEST WE FORGET – Remembrance Day is tomorrow. Join the Kanata Legion at the Cenotaph (Village Green Memorial Park) at 10:45 am for the arrival of the parade. A moment of silence to remember the soldiers who fought for our freedom and country will take place at 11 am followed by the laying of wreaths.

RADON GAS PUBLIC MEETING – Come out on Nov. 21st to the Mlacak Centre (2500 Campeau) at 7 pm to find out about radon gas and what you can do to keep your home safe.

Having your home checked is worthwhile and inexpensive. New homes are covered by the Tarion warranty but, even if you have an older home the costs to ventilate are reasonable. ROAD CLOSURE REVISED – TERON ROAD from March Road to Carling Avenue is now closed until Friday Nov. 25, 2016. The closure is required to replace a culvert. Notification signs have been posted, as well as detour signs. Local, emergency and vehicle access will be maintained but there will be no through traffic access. SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM – The Ottawa Police are focusing this month on red light running and stop sign violations. Make a point to not go through any red lights and to make a full stop at stop signs and remember that other traffic rules still need to be followed! Do your part to make our community and our streets safer for all. TOWN HALL – Join me at the November Town Hall that will feature a presentation on the new development planned for 5045 Innovation Drive (beside the new Park & Ride). Other development items will include the site plan for Princess Auto and new development along Kanata Avenue by Pen Equity. The community policing report and Councillor’s report will be given. Please bring your ideas, questions and concerns about your community – all are welcome. 2017 KANATA-CARLETON CULTURAL BOOKLET AND FESTIVAL – is being organized by arts groups (visual art, drama, music and dance) located west of the Greenbelt. The booklet describes groups in the area and their 2017 programs. Advertising space is available by contacting my office no later than Nov. 15th. The booklet will be available by year end.

Police to change service delivery model in January Continued from page 23

“There were 20 or 30 people in the bar watching the altercation, but by the time we got there with the lights and sirens, everyone had taken off,” he said. “Despite that, investigators were able to solve it in two days.” But the community needs to come forward if they want to stop the people that commit these crimes, he said. “I understand that people may be concerned about retaliation, but if we don’t catch the people committing these crimes, they will continue,” he said. Another stabbing occurred on Rideau and Nelson streets the same night as the board meeting. A 17-year-old boy was charged as a result. The police force doubled their overtime budget for 2016 as a result of the increased crime, overspending by $2.5 million. Despite that, Debra Frazer,

For the time being, 25 officers, along with 25 officers that were freed up from front desk work within the force should be enough, Bordeleau said. The hiring of 25 officers will cost $2.1 million, the report to the board says. The force hired 25 officers this year and will be hiring 25 in 2018 – bringing that total to 100 new officers over three years. “We will be in a better position to know if the hiring plan will be successful in 2018,” he said. There’s a perception that the changes to the frontline deployment model will reduce community policing officers by 33 per cent, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said. Egli attended the board meeting to deliver letters from some of his community associations, as well as the Knoxdale-Merivale Community Association – which represents the community associations across the ward. “There’s a feeling this will have a negative impact on policing,” Egli said. CANADA 150

The big question mark during budget deliberations is the cost of policing the city’s celebrations for the country’s 150th birthday. Bordeleau said the force has identified 10 major events, which will cost $1.5 million to police, but the force should recoup those costs from other levels of government or the organizers. The problem is, the event list is constantly changing, and there’s no guarantee that other levels of government will pitch in. “The city is aware that if we don’t recoup the costs, we could be in a deficit situation at the end of next year,” Frazer said. The draft budget will represent $11 increase on the average homeowners property tax bill. The forecast budget from 2018-2020 includes 2.7, 2.6 and 2.3 percent increases respectively. The city will table the draft budget on Nov. 9. The board will hear public delegations on their portion on Nov. 28. The budget is slated for approval on Dec. 14.

What’s in a name? City’s environment committee takes on climate change BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Two members of the public wanted to get the city’s environment committee to change more than its name on Nov. 1. As part of the midterm governance review, the environment committee will change it’s name to the environment and climate protection committee to better reflect the work it does, said committee chair David Chernushenko. “It’s symbolic, but it’s more than that,” Chernushenko said. But Donna DuBreuil, president of the Ottawa Carleton wildlife centre, wanted more than a name change. DuBreuil said it makes little sense for the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee to deal with urban wildlife concerns and urban forest management, since most of their work deals with the city’s rural area. “Wildlife and bio diversity is an integral part of the city’s environment,” she said. Debbie Laws, a member of the board of directors for the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre, said the centre dealt with thousands of injured birds last year. The number of injured birds topped 3,300 last year, she said – a 35 per cent increase over the previous year. And for a small, not-for-profit, the increase in winged patients puts a lot of pressure on the budget. “I find it odd that birds and wildlife don’t fall under the environment committee’s mandate,” she said. “It’s responsible for the common green spaces and natural areas. The committee should also be responsible for the birds and wildlife that need those areas for their survival.” Both DuBreuil and Laws said the environment committee was well positioned to implement the city’s wildlife strategy and help ensure wildlife sensitive planning practices. Chernushenko said he doesn’t have any interest in the committee taking on mandates that currently belong to other committees, but said he has been working with the city clerk’s office on identifying any holes in what committees cover.

“It has become apparent there are issues not covered by any committee,” he said. “Councillor (Scott) Moffatt has the puzzling issue of dealing with urban birds, but it’s much like stormwater drains, which can cross urban and rural boundaries.” Chernushenko said he and city clerk Rick O’Connor are very close to devising a motion, and expect to have some-

thing by the Nov. 9 council storms happening more regumeeting. larly. But Kanata South Coun. NOT MEANT TO BE DIVISIVE Allan Hubley disagreed, saying climate protection is the Chernushenko said the work of the federal and proname change of the environ- vincial governments. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. ment committee wasn’t meant Scott Moffatt, who chairs to be a divisive issue. “The motion was meant to ARAC, said that the commitreflect a new reality,” he said, tee has a relatively light work adding that the city has to deal load and suggested a combinawith the once-in-century-type tion with the transportation

committee under a title like public works. Transportation chair Keith Egli said he wasn’t interested in the merging of the two committees. “I think it would be unwieldy, and there is some overlap,” he said. “But you could say that of any of the city’s committees.” The city’s mid-term governance review is completed by

the city clerk. It takes a look at city committees and practices and offers suggestions to make things run more smoothly. As part of the process, the city clerk met with each councillor to hear what they thought should be changed. “It was a dialogue, a twoway street, but it’s built on consensus,” he said. Council will receive the report on Nov. 9.

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

What should I do if I am injured and someone else is responsible? As a litigation lawyer, I am often retained weeks, months or even years after a client has suffered an injury as a result of another’s negligence. Ideally, if you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you should contact a lawyer promptly to review the circumstances of the incident. I routinely meet people for a no obligation consultation to discuss matters such as liability, limitation periods and evidence that must be preserved. At the scene of the accident, you should take several steps immediately, whether it is a motor-vehicle accident or a slip and fall, a dog bite or injury caused by a defective product: 1. Identify who is responsible (i.e. exchange of information). If possible, take photographs of obvious material damage (in the case of a motor vehicle collision, take photos of the other party’s car as well as your own); 2. Record via photographs or notes how the incident occurred (e.g. slip fall on uneven pavement); and 3. Identify and obtain contact information of any witnesses to the incident – this is crucial, as witnesses can be lost forever if not identified at the scene. As a lawyer representing injured people, I have found that taking these easy steps can be the difference between having a long drawn out fight about legal liability and moving to a meaningful discussion about compensation reasonably quickly.

Legion delivers gift bags to veterans through comfort fund BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Legion veterans comfort fund provides “gift bags” of thoughtful items to veterans, their spouses and widows living in the community. This year, the committee estimates it has delivered around 150 gift bags to those living at long-term care facilities, retirement residences and at home. “In Kanata we have about 150-odd veterans – male, female, spouses and a lot of widows who were never included. This year we have started to include them,” said Sue McLean, chair of the comfort fund committee at branch 638. Veterans are receiving

walking sticks provided by the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command, ball caps for the men and flowers for the women, as well as other small items. But it’s not what’s in the bags that really matter. “It’s not what we give them; it’s the fact that we’re coming to see them,” said McLean. “We are asking them if they would like more visits throughout the year and the answer is overwhelmingly yes.” Members of the legion visited Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community on Nov. 7 for a Remembrance service and delivered more than 40 gift bags to veterans and widows.

Friends Blanche Halikas, widow of Peter, and Phyllis Beauregard, widow of Roland, receive flowers and a gift bag from the Kanata Legion’s veterans’ comfort fund on Nov. 7. Both attended a Remembrance service at Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community on Monday. For both, Remembrance Day is a sad day. ‘It brings back an awful lot of memories,’ says Beauregard.

‘It makes you feel good that somebody cares’ ADOPT A VET

Continued from page 31

Milton Phillips spent three years overseas with the air force during the Second World War. “I thought I was never going to get out,” he said. To be recognized following the Remembrance service was special for him. “I think it’s a very nice service for the old guys like me,” said Phillips. “It makes you feel good that somebody cares.”

The legion is in the early stages of creating an Adopt a Vet program, where members of the legion are paired with a veteran, their spouse or widow, and strike up a companionship. “The Adopt a Vet program is where we get people who will go out and perhaps bond with a certain person and possibly keep visiting them on a regular basis,” said McLean.

Kanata Remembrance Day ceremony Nov. 11 Continued from page 32

Many of the veterans don’t have family in the area, said McLean, and to have someone “just pop in now and then, have a coffee with them … and just keep in touch with them,” would make a difference. “We’re realizing that when we go into the homes they so want a visit,” said branch president Lorraine Lapensée. “We’re now looking at if we can get the volunteers to go and visit.” The Adopt a Vet idea is still in the early stages, said McLean.

The gift-bag practice, however, has been a long-time program at the legion, first organized by the Ladies Auxiliary. It began as a way to reach out to those living in assisted care facilities and over the years grew to include those residing in retirement residences. “This year we also reached out to 50 of our own members who are over 80 (years old) and still living at home,” said McLean. The veterans’ comfort fund is supported through local poppy donations.

Bette Jones, a war bride and widow after her husband Leslie passed away five years ago, said ‘it was wonderful,’ to be recognized by the Kanata Legion on Nov. 7.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

The Kanata Legion branch 638 hosts its annual Remembrance Day ceremony at the Kanata Cenotaph on Nov. 11. The service takes place at Colchester Square, off Campeau Drive, and begins at 11 a.m. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early. Following the ceremony everyone is invited to the Kanata Legion, 70 Hines Rd., for hot soup, sandwiches and desserts, as well as a performance by the Canadian Military Wives Choir.

Man lifted from ravine in high-angle rescue operation BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com

Police, paramedics and at least 12 special operations firefighters worked to rescue a 22-year-old man after he was found trapped in a Nepean ravine on Nov. 6. Emergency crews arrived at the ravine off of Canfield Road, near Trend Arlington Park, shortly after 3 p.m., and found the man in medical and mental distress between five and six metres below the top of the ravine. Anchored to nearby trees, firefighters wearing harnesses performed a high-angle rescue, securing the man in a rescue basket and lifting him of the ravine. According to

fire spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal, the steep slope of the ravine’s sides ruled out other methods of rescue. “It’s steep and you wouldn’t want just anyone else clamouring down because you’ll have another injured person,” said fire spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal. Cardinal said police located the man using his cell phone’s GPS co-ordinates. He was lifted out of the ravine by 3:25 p.m. and taken to hospital in police custody. “It was a person that needed assistance for a mental health problem that made him a danger to himself,” said police Const. Chuck Benoit. “So police apprehended.”

The Progressive Conservatives and NDP are making hydro rates a top campaign issue in the upcoming Nov. 17 byelection in Ottawa-Vanier. PC candidate André Marin was joined by Tory leader Patrick Brown and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa Macleod at Lorenzo’s Pizza on Oct. 31, a local pizza shop in Overbrook, to discuss rising hydro rates in Ontario. Playing up the date of that discussion, Marin has asked Ottawa-Vanier residents to submit hydro horror stories online at Hydrohorrorstory.ca. “The Wynne Liberals have created a hydro crisis in our community,” Marin said. “Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and they are struggling to make ends meet.” See LARGE, page 39

MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

Ottawa-Vanier NDP candidate Claude Bisson and NDP leader Andrea Horwath met at the Rockcliffe Pavilion on Oct. 31 to ask residents for their hydro stories, calling current hydro prices out of this world noting the difference between Ontario and Quebec – where they claim prices are almost half of what Ontario residents pay.

Hydro bills hurting businesses: NDP Continued from page 38

Owner of the pizzeria Eli Kirkish welcomed the politicians to his restaurant to discuss hydro rates and what the Tories propose to do about hydro rates. Kirkish said high electricity bills threaten his ability to make

any money in his business and he has considered other ways to operate, including looking into purchasing a gas generator to help alleviate some of his hydro costs. “It’s very tough,” Kirkish said. “If it keeps going to stay like this, businesses are going to shut down.”

On the other end of the Ottawa-Vanier riding at the Rockcliffe Pavilion, NDP candidate Claude Bisson and NDP leader Andrea Horwath also took aim at hydro rates in the province as a key issue. See NDP, page 40

CRAVING CHANGE Eva decided she wanted to help, and she wanted to start by giving children a healthy start to the day, beginning with breakfast. She contacted the Breakfast Club of Canada and they agreed to direct any money she raised to specific Nunavut schools in need of a funded breakfast program.

The idea for the All That Glam fundraiser itself came to her while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry box. Like many women, Eva’s mother, Karen, wore the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and used the same five handbags most of the time. That’s when Eva thought, “Women donate their clothes all the time; why not their jewelry?” This realization sparked the idea to create a gently-used jewelry and handbag sale to raise money for Nunavut schools. NOURISHING CORAL HARBOUR SCHOOL’S BREAKFAST PROGRAM The All That Glam Sale has become an annual event. For the 4th year running, the fundraiser will collect donated jewelry and handbags from the community and resell the pieces at a one-day sale to raise money needed to provide nourishment to children in Nunavut.

Concert

In Support of the Carleton Place Hospital

She was shocked to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket! Eva quickly learned even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three-litre container of orange juice is typically $9. In the winter months especially, fresh fruit and vegetables are exorbitantly priced and of poor quality. All this means that many Nunavut children start off their school day with poor nutrition. In Canada, a country that is hailed as having one of the highest standards of living in the world, no child should be going to school hungry or malnourished.

Driver trapped in car after West Hunt Club rollover STAFF

A rollover on West Hunt Club Road left one person trapped in a vehicle for more than 20 minutes on Nov. 7. The crash occurred between Greenbank Road and Woodroffe Avenue around 2:15 p.m. According to the fire department, the compact car was travelling east on West Hunt Club Road when it rolled over, coming to rest in the westbound lanes. A police officer who witnessed the rollover contacted emergency dispatch, and firefighters confirmed the driver would need to be extricated from the car. Firefighters stabilized the vehicle and prepared a hose in the event of fire during the extrication, and stabilized the driver to prevent further injuries. By 2:39 p.m. firefighters had freed the driver, who was then treated by paramedics. Following the crash, the fire department offered these tips for motorists who find themselves in

It is best to avoid the area or find a suitable detour that will not hinder emergency operations. • Yield for emergency vehicles trying to access the scene and the persons requiring assistance. • Consider that if you are the first person at a motor vehicle incident please approach the scene only if it is safe to do so. It is advisable to remain in your

vehicle on fast moving highways and roadways as passing motorists may not see you if you exit your vehicle. • Call 911 as soon as it is safe to do so.

A local basketball academy takes flight for the first time this month as it hosts its first tournament. “It’s like our coming out party,” said Tony House, Canada Topflight Academy founder. The academy, located at Notre Dame High School, has invited a number of schools to play Nov. 11 through 13. The first game on Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. is for high school students, who will hopefully fill the gym, House said. “Things are going well for the academy’s first year,” he said during a practice. The tournament will give those wondering about the academy –

which is a pilot project with the Catholic school board – a front row seat to see what it’s all about. With a goal of developing teenage basketball players for the next level of play, especially those living in Ottawa, the academy is nearing tipoff. “I’m excited about where we are at and where we are going,” House said about the current crop of players. The team plays in the National Preparatory Association, an 11team league. Of the 12 players on the team, eight are from the Ottawa area and four come from outside the city. Aiden Warnholtz, from Kanata, is 16 and plays point guard. He’s been playing basketball since he was four and the new league

gets him ready for university or college level sports teams without moving away from home. “It’s been good, hard work and a lot of fun too,” Warnholtz said. As a Grade 11 student, he’s hoping the pilot project continues, so that he can have another year, or maybe two with the academy. The program is a natural progression for the talented athletes already coming from the region, coach Aaron Blakely said. “Now athletes can stay in their own houses and it’s a unique opportunity to play this level in front of a home crowd,” Blakely said. Part of what Blakely is working on with the players is keeping their heads in the game, on top of getting players to shoot, defend and rebound. “The biggest thing is players are being asked to really improve their basketball IQ; be thoughtful and consistent and win the mental battle.” See EIGHT, page 43

Blakely said the academy’s coaching staff knows what university coaches like and what wins and loses at the next level. They are also working to in-

crease players’ confidence on the court. Success this year will help the program to expand. House is to extend a similar program to women’s basketball players next year.

Hero’s Ridge the place to be on Forces Appreciation Night On Nov. 1, the Ottawa Senators hosted their 13th annual Canadian Armed Forces Appreciation Night with a special tribute to women in our Armed Forces. More than 2,900 Canadian Armed Forces members and their families were hosted through ticket donations by the Ottawa Senators and local industry partners. It was a night to remember. Organizations such as the Ottawa Senators give us rich opportunities to experience our city’s renowned sense

of community. This endearing characteristic was on full display when local Ottawa residents, Francis Lépine and his sister Francesca LépineWillson were given special recognition during the CAF Appreciation Night because of their generosity to the military member families in Ottawa. In addition to signing on as a gold sponsor of the annual CAF Appreciation Night, the Lépine family partnered with the Senators to sponsor a box suite at the Canadian Tire

Centre: “Hero’s Ridge.” The suite is designed to feel like a home-away-from-home and is set aside for hosting our nation’s heroes and their families during every Ottawa Senators home game. “Quality time, is our simple gift to these men and women and their families. It is our way of saying “thank you” for all the time they sacrificed for the sake of our families.” Says Francesca. Francis agrees, “We are grateful to the Canadian Armed Forces for their loyalty and service rendered at

Protect your information from thieves.

More than 13,700 Canadians were victims of identity theft in 2015 alone. Most victims discovered their information had been compromised when their banks contacted them about suspicious activity. Thieves are more sophisticated than ever, often using technology to help them steal information. Other times, they prey on the trusting nature of people to procure personal information.

4 WAYS THIEVES CAN STEAL YOUR IDENTITY 1

Stealing your mail. If you don’t have a locking mailbox, thieves can swipe your mail directly from the box, especially if it’s located next to the road. Prevent this by opening a postal box. If your mailbox is attached to your house, check it daily

Digging through your trash. Thieves have been known to search through trash to find personal documents. Shred your documents before you dispose of or recycle them.

Tampering with ATM and credit card machines. If you use an ATM or other card reader, you may become a victim of identity theft and not realize it. Thieves have been using counterfeit card readers in tandem with hidden cameras to steal the information on ATM cards for

several years. Once you slide your card into the reader and punch in your PIN, the thief has enough information to make another card. Reduce your risk by avoiding non-bank ATMs and monitoring your Account.

Searching through public sources. Although social media has made it easier to stay in touch with family and friends, it can also be used by thieves to swipe personal information. Adjust the privacy settings on your social media sites so your information is only available to friends and family.

COMMON SCAMS

Most people were solicited by thieves over email or the internet, a significant number were contacted by telephone. Don’t be fooled by these common scams. • Services. False, deceptive or misleading offers for telecommunications, internet, finance, medical or energy services made up 21% of scams. • Prizes, They comprised 11% of the scams reported. Thieves contact you claiming you’ve won a prize, but must pay a fee or cover delivery and processing to claim it. If you have to pay money upfront for your prize, it’s not a real prize. • Extortion. Obtaining money or property from someone through coercion, such as saying you have unpaid debt and you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay immediately, comprised 9% of scams. • Merchandise. Purchasing items online or through classified ads and not receiving them, or receiving items of inferior quality, made up 8% of scams.

Canadians between the ages of 60-69 are the most targeted group by scammers. Tips to Avoid Being the Victim of a Scam 1. Beware of claims that require immediate action. 2. Beware of offers that require you to wire money or send a pre-paid card. 3. Trust your gut—if you feel something is wrong or an offer sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.

Sold out event draws attention to culture of self-loathing

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

A sold out event had the audience of about 600 people thinking about moving away from self-loathing to self-loving. The Royal hosted the Girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide to Mental Health

on Nov. 3 with keynote speaker Sophie GrĂŠgoire Trudeau. GrĂŠgoire Trudeau offered her own advice to women, girls and even men who suffer from low self-esteem. When she was suffering from bulimia, she said her path to recovery was anchored in trusting others with her story.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way to recovery is if we share our stories,â&#x20AC;? she said to thunderous applause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That takes vulnerability and it takes tenderness, it takes love.â&#x20AC;? GrĂŠgoire Trudeau added that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture is one of selfhatred. See DOCTOR, page 48

“What is the conversation everyone in this room has with herself or himself in silence when no one is looking?” She said most are looking for something to change. “Whether it’s fake nails, fake breasts, fake hair, fake everything – you name it it’s being done. We are being sold a message that the way we come to life is not right.” She said it’s no wonder that people suffer from mental illness or eating disorders. New provincial statistics show that about one in three teens will experience mild to severe anxiety. Dr. Ameneh Mirzaei, a psychiatrist with the Royal’s mood and anxiety disorders program, discussed the emotional and psychological consequences of low self-esteem and strategies to improve it. She said negative self-esteem is a cycle that needs to be broken. “The only way to break the cycle is to start addressing the negative self-talk,”

she said. With the pressure to keep up to images in magazines and on TV, boys feel the pressure to build muscle, while women look to lose weight. A decade ago, models weighed about eight per cent less than the average woman, and they now weigh about 23 per cent less, Mirzaei said. According to a University of Washington survey, by age 13, 53 per cent of American girls are unhappy with their bodies and by age 17 that increases to 78 per cent. At the same time about 50 per cent of girls and 30 per cent of boys take steps to lose weight. The consequences of low self-esteem can be mental illness, depression, anxiety or eating disorders. Mirzaei added it can also make youth vulnerable to alcohol and substance abuse. She suggested a few practices to help rebuild self-esteem, including writing down things you appreciate about yourself to challenge your own negative beliefs, and breaking from the habit of comparing yourself to others.

Rideau Lakes Artists’ Association Presents

Parents, community beg board to keep Rideau High open BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Rideau High School is going to close. At least that is what parents and community leaders fear. In September, the OttawaCarleton District School Board approved the start of two pupil accommodation reviews: one in the west end of Ottawa, which involves 26 schools, and one in the east-end of Ottawa, which involves three secondary schools. The community came out to the first of two public consultations on Nov. 1 to discuss the proposed Rideau High School closure, which is part of the eastern secondary review that includes two other east end schools, Gloucester High School and Colonel By Secondary School. Sara Bernard attended the meeting. An Overbrook resident and a mother who has her son in the Learning Disability Pro-

gram, she said she is very concerned about how the meeting went, adding it seemed like the closure is imminent. “Last night the board members were just waiting for you to finish asking your questions before they would not answer your question. It was they were reading from a book and not giving a (damn) about the kids,” Bernard said. “The board didn’t want to answer any questions last night, it was like they were spinning the questions like a politician. I came away with the feeling that the board has already made their decision to close the school and now they are just going through the steps.” The meeting attracted more than 100 parents, community leaders and some teachers and students who asked questions and urged school board staff to keep the school open. Although staff did say they would take all comments into consideration before making a

recommendation, after the meeting many parents said they felt the same as Bernard — that closing the school going to happen. “It’s a done deal,” Peter Garneau said. Jennifer Moroziuk, chair of the newly revived parent council at Rideau, said she felt the same way and now is the time to try and get the community to rally to keep Rideau open. CAPACITY ISSUES

Faced with addressing issues of overcrowding in some schools and underutilization of others, school board staff worked through the summer to draft recommendations for west Ottawa schools, and for Rideau High School, Gloucester High School and Colonel By Secondary School in the city’s urban east end. Colonel By is doing well, with a large student population, primarily because of the interna-

tional baccalaureate program. It doesn’t have space to move in students from another school, and moving the Colonel By population to Gloucester would create a larger than ideal student population, so moving students from or into Colonel By was taken off the table. The only change Colonel By will see is a reduction of the catchment area for its international baccalaureate program, as the program may also operate in the city’s western area. The English public board trustees first met on Sept. 9 to discuss the proposed Rideau High School closure and move those students to Gloucester. The review is considered an urgent accommodation review because of the vast number of excess spaces between the two schools. Rideau and Gloucester are both at just 45 per cent capacity. Currently, according to Garneau, there are less than 100 students in Grade 9 at Rideau,

which Garneau admits is bad – but it’s a situation that he blames on the school board. Everyone opposed to the closure said they are worried about the speed of the consultations. According to the board, the urgency comes from the lack of programming that can be offered with small student populations. Without enough students, the right combination of classes at different academic levels can’t be offered. And the lack of variety can easily spill over into extracurricular programs. The report said Rideau and Gloucester are having problems offering certain classes students are interested in or need – so they may be only offered every other year, for example. Many of the students in Rideau’s catchment area choose not to go to Rideau. Fewer than 40 per cent of the English public school students, and 20 per cent of the high school aged population, attend Rideau.

Melanie Patenaude is in Grade 11 at Rideau. She said she’s been to 10 different schools, with Rideau High being the current one. “I really love this school,” Patenaude said. Patenaude, who participates in school groups and extracurricular activities, said she’s concerned about what the transition to another school will mean. But the young student did agree something needs to change. “Students have a struggle to get the courses they need for university,” she said. “The student population is definitely low and it’s typically picking between one or the other when it comes to the classes you want.” A second consultation will take place on Jan. 11 at Gloucester High School 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A final staff report will be completed on Jan. 27, 2017. Trustees will vote on whether to close Rideau High School on March 7. Questions or concerns regarding the proposed changes for the Eastern Secondary Review can be emailed to easternsecondaryreview@ocdsb.ca.

A change to the way the Public Health Agency of Canada funds communitybased organizations that offer supports to those living with HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis C is a disaster, said the executive director of the Canadian AIDS Society. The change began in April 2014 when the government engaged with Rebecca Gilman, a spokesperson for the public health agency, and a wide variety of stakeholders on the development of the HIV and Hepatitis C community action fund. Gilman said the criteria for the fund was also developed with stakeholders, that included community-based organizations, provincial and territorial governments and public health professionals. This year, the agency doled out, $24.6 million through the new fund, leaving 42 AIDS service organizations without funding from PHAC. “For some, the majority or all of their funding was through the federal government,” Lacasse said. “How do you rewrite your business model when you lose that much funding?” The AIDS society has also lost funding, which will

Tens of thousands of Canadians live with HIV: advocate Continued from page 52

At that time there were 3,080 people living with HIV. A report done by Public Health Ontario in 2010 shows that there were 5,488 individuals living with Hepatitis B at that time. Lacasse said there are 75,000 people living with HIV nationally. One of the local organizations to see funding cut is Bruce House – which offers residential care for HIV patients. With the shift towards funding organizations that focus on prevention, many front line work has fallen through the cracks, Lacasse said. Despite that, Gilman said the funding remains steady. “Canada is committed to eliminating HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030,” Gilman wrote in an emailed

statement. “Indeed, the priorities identified in the community action fund are intended to help Canada meet these targets by focusing on evidence-

informed priority areas. We are taking an integrated approach to HIV, Hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBI) to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of

prevention initiatives for these diseases. This integrated approach will address common transmission routes, risk behaviours, and priority populations through targeted prevention interventions.” The government has created a contingency fund for organizations who have lost their funding. But Lacasse said the meager fund – totaling $600,000 – isn’t enough. Those organizations whose federal funding was terminated will have until March 31, 2017. Lacasse said the original plan was to give organizations a year. “There are practicalities that weren’t considered, like contracts and leases,” he said, adding the provincial governments simply don’t have the capacity to pick up the slack.

Bridlewood woman fundraising to build second classroom in memory of sister BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A Bridlewood woman is continuing her pursuit to provide education to children in Nicaragua in memory of the sister she lost to cancer in 2001. Dina Bell-Laroche will host a “Charity and Cheer” event on Nov. 17. Proceeds from the fundraiser will help build a second Tracy’s Hope Classroom through the charity organization SchoolBOX. The event takes place at Zola’s Restaurant in Nepean and will feature an evening of food, music and dancing, as well as an online auction with more than $18,000 in merchan-

dise on offer. “I love being able to remember and honour Tracy while bringing together people who want to make a positive difference for children in Nicaragua,” said Bell-Laroche, a member of SchoolBOX’s board of directors. TRACY’S HOPE

Tracy Lee Nolan died at age 29 after battling cancer. Bell-Laroche was looking to honour Nolan’s memory and inspiration hit after she helped build a rural school in Nicaragua with SchoolBOX in 2013. See CHARITY, page 59

Members of a small community in the Tipitapa region of Nicaragua celebrate the opening of the first Tracy’s Hope Classroom and the Thomas Borge school, built in March 2015 through funds raised in memory of Bridlewood native Tracy Lee Nolan. Nolan’s sister Dina Bell-Laroche is fundraising to build a second school in her sister’s name.

Cecil experiences his few minutes of fame M MARY other thought that Miss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, should be made a saint when she passed. But that couldn’t happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn’t a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say

COOK

Memories a prayer, which she wrote herself. She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched

white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again! He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wearing his gumrubbers, and when he wasn’t wearing stockings, which was usually the case. The noise echoed in his gumrubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2-by-4. Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound

came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent. “Cecil,” she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the Barr Line. “Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store. Stand up and apologize to the class.” Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat. He said nothing. Miss Crosby ordered him to the low stool that sat in the corner at the front of the room. This is where anyone was sent who misbehaved, hadn’t done their homework, or generally tried Miss Crosby’s patience. Cecil folded himself onto the stool, and when he had settled down, his knees were under his chin, and his hands were resting on the floor. He looked exactly like the big chimpanzee we saw when the circus came to the fairgrounds one time in Renfrew. Well, it wasn’t long until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics. Miss Crosby folded the

Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms. I thought she was crying, because her shoulders were shaking. The Briscoe twins, who dressed alike, finished each other’s sentences and did everything together, put up their hands with one finger in the air, which meant a short trip to the outhouse. “Please Miss,” Beatrice said to get Miss Crosby’s attention. She raised her head from her folded arms, and she wasn’t crying, she was overcome with fits of laughter. It wasn’t the first time Cecil had cracked his toes at the Northcote School, but it was the first time Miss Crosby had sent him to the stool. Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes. Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before

him, and try as he might, he couldn’t muster up one crack! We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order. At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn’t perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum rubbers. And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.

Students in a small community in the Tipitapa region of Nicaragua celebrate the opening of the first Tracy’s Hope Classroom and the Thomas Borge school, built in March 2015 through funds raised in memory of Bridlewood native Tracy Lee Nolan. Nolan’s sister Dina Bell-Laroche is fundraising to build a second school in her sister’s name.

Charity and Cheer event for Tracy’s Hope takes place Nov. 17 Continued from page 55

Nolan was a counsellor at the William E. Hay Centre, a youth correctional facility in Ottawa, and “worked on behalf of the forgotten children,” said Bell-Laroche, adding SchoolBOX also works on behalf of forgotten children in Nicaragua. Since 2013, Bell-Laroche has raised more than $25,000 to build a Tracy’s Hope Library and classroom. Now, she and her family are working to raise funds for a second Tracy’s Hope Classroom. “While nothing will bring Tracy back, we are comforted

that her spirit lives on in the children of Nicaragua,” said Bell-Laroche. “I know she’d be proud to have her name associated with such a great cause.”

The amendment to the Zoning By-law accomplishes the following: It allows either a coach house or a secondary dwelling unit, but not both, in the urban and rural areas, as accessory uses to detached, semi-detached, linked-detached and duplex dwellings, as well as in the end units of a townhouse row where the property is also located on a corner lot. It restricts the size (footprint) of coach houses to 40 per cent of the yard in which they are located or 40 per cent of the footprint of the main dwelling, whichever is less. It restricts the height of coach houses to one storey in the urban area and two storeys in the rural area. It requires that coach houses be serviced from the main dwelling with which they are associated. It allows coach houses on private well and septic systems in the rural area, provided the lot is 0.8 hectares or larger; while requiring urban coach houses to connect to public services. It allows existing accessory buildings to be converted to coach houses, even if they do not meet the footprint, height and yard requirements for a coach house. Notwithstanding the above, prohibit coach houses in the former Village of Rockcliffe Park.

Mixed feelings about your gambling may be an early warning Responsible Gambling Council focuses on the importance of paying attention to how gambling makes you feel during Problem Gambling Prevention Week, which runs in Ottawa and the Counties of Renfrew, Prescott and Russell, from Nov. 7th to 13. Mixed feelings about your gambling, such as guilt, anxiety,

or frustration, are important early warning signals. According to the Responsible Gambling Council, listening to yourself and knowing the early signs are essential to detecting and dealing with a potential gambling problem – before it becomes serious. RGC research shows that approximately 3.4 per cent of

Ontarians have a moderate to severe gambling problem. This means that about 28,400 adults in Ottawa and the Counties of Renfrew, Prescott and Russell, are estimated to be negatively impacted. Many of these people think they will win big. The truth is that some will gamble to the point that they damage their

finances, relationships and * Thinking or talking more health.

There is free and confidential help available for those who feel they may have a problem. You can find contact information for local resources at www. knowthesigns.ca or you can call the Ontario Problem Gambling Helpline 1-888-230-3505. The good news is that recognizing your changed feelings is your warning signal.

Why is the cost of hydro so high? How is it possible to use little or no electricity and yet have to pay through the nose for “delivery fees”? Is this all a government shell game or is there some rationale to it? I’ll be holding four town-hall meetings on the exorbitant hydro rates facing Ottawa residents. Renowned journalist and Ontario Hydro expert Parker Gallant has agreed to join these Town Halls to brief residents on why Ontario Hydro Rates are some of the highest in the developed world. Parker has written extensively in the Financial Post about the impact of Ontario Hydro rates on communities throughout Ontario. Parker’s talk is called “Watts in your hydro bill?’ Parker will take you through every line-item on your bill, and he’ll explain what each one covers. If you think the electricity line covers only the cost of generating electricity, you may be shocked at what else it contains. Here are the dates, times, and locations for all four town-hall meetings: • November 26th, 2016 • 10:00-12:00 Mississippi Mills Stewart Community Centre – Upper Hall 112 MacFarlane St, Pakenham, ON • November 26th, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm John G Mlacak Centre Bud Purnell (Hall C) 2500 Campeau Dr, Kanata, ON K2K 2W3 • December 3rd, 2016 • 10:00-12:00pm Kinburn Community Centre 3045 Kinburn Side Road, Kinburn, ON • December 3rd, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm Intercultural Dialogue Institute 335 Michael Cowpland Drive #112, Kanata, ON For more information, please contact his office at 613-599-3000 or email jack.maclarenco@pc.ola.org

Learning to cook the basics

Youth, seniors create meal as part of Sharing Wisdom Across the Ages BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A handful of Carp youth took part in a cooking class led by senior volunteers in the community on Nov. 5. The cooking the basics class, held at the Anglican Parish of Huntley hall, was part of the Sharing Wisdom Across the Ages program, a series of six free community-building events that enable cross-generational interactions between young and old. “This is a fantastic project to bring people in the community together,” said Heidi Wieler, one of the program co-ordinators. The program gives both younger and older people the opportunity to connect and share experiences, while passing on knowledge. “This is just really fostering that sense of Carp being a family,” said Wieler. “It's about community, bringing people together.” The next event, a knitting workshop, will take place on Jan. 15. Older adults will mentor the class on knitting techniques. For details visit huntleyparish.com/ carpsharingwisdom.

Take time to remember BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER Michelle.nash@metroland.com

Each year, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Canadians gather around cenotaphs, parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to observe a moment of silence and to mark sacrifices that have come from war. On Nov. 11 beginning at 10:20 a.m., the Royal Canadian Legion National Remembrance Day Ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa will begin. The Gov. Gen. David Johnston, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Speaker of the Senate of Canada George J. Furey, the Minister of Veterans Affairs Kent Hehr, Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. J.H. Vance, Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion David Flannigan and members of veterans organizations and diplomatic corps will place the first wreaths.

Remembrance Day is a day to remember much. My dad a veteran himself started putting one Remembrance Day poppy each year in the frame of a picture he liked. A picture of four little girls singing carols. It’s the top of a large 1921 Met Life calendar. I had to open and look, curiosity and discovery are a good thing. They had nice calendars then. He bought it framed. My mom painted it gold, nice job, nice picture. I think my dad liked it because he was from a family of five boys and he had three boys, no sisters, no daughters. Most poppies in the frame have the black centre, a few have the green none have both the black

Everyone is a little different and we feel different some days, still they may be contributing, even to you in some way. Remembrance Day is a day to remember people, not the conflicts between them. The beauty of tolerance, acceptance, helping and loving will hopefully change Remembrance from conflicts and sadness to loving, peace and joy. It’s nice we set aside one day to catch our attention and focus on what we should be feeling every day. I have a beautiful picture, from a beautiful person I see and focus on every day.

and green, which was phased out in 1969. He started his collection later. Every year since his passing I add one more poppy to that picture. It becomes more beautiful every year. One more way to remember a beautiful person. Remembrance Day is a day to remember much. Those that didn’t know you but did their best to help, those you love and loved and loved you and those you don’t know but should love and help. If one of us was on this earth alone we would disappear. Without helping and loving we would be gone. Every person you see; too fast on the road, too slow in the line may be contributing some way through helping and loving.

Local services on Nov. 11 STAFF

For those looking to remember on Nov. 11, there are a number of local community ceremonies to choose from. BRITANNIA PARK

A ceremony at Flanders Field Mosaic Memorial (beside the trolley station in Britannia Park) begins around 10:45 a.m. and is organized by Regina Street Public School and Dr. FJ MacDonald Catholic School. It’s a short ceremony with poems and student participation and wreaths will be laid. Principal of Regina Street Public School, Robert James said the public is welcome to attend. “Having it in the park, makes it a little more special – students are in the gym everyday and having the public attend only heightens the feeling of importance for students.” Students from the school helped create the 500 poppies depicted at the cenotaph, which opened in 2013. WESTBORO

The Westboro Legion has organized two ceremonies to commemorate Remembrance Day this year. The first, is at 11 a.m. at the

At the same time, an unorganized get-together occurs at the Cenotaph on Richmond Road; however, the formal service will begin around 2 p.m. Leading up to the ceremony, a parade will form at the Westboro Legion, 391 Richmond Rd., with a band, veterans and cadets marching to the cenotaph. Following the parade is a ceremony and representatives will lay wreaths at the monument. To end the ceremony, the parade will reform and lead back to the Legion. From 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. band Johnny Vegas and Sherri Harding will play at the Legion. There’s no admission, but a contribution to the potluck supper, happening at 5 p.m. is appreciated. BRITANNIA YACHT CLUB

In a private event at the Britannia Yacht Club, members, invited guests and the Sea Cadets from the HMSCC Centrurion will commemorate the lives lost in armed conflicts at 10:45 a.m. at the flag. Following the ceremony, there will a reception and presentation with a guest speaker from the

Following the ceremony, the legion will host a public reception, in halls A and B of the Walter Baker Sports Centre, and a private reception for legion members and military personnel at the legion clubhouse at 3500 Fallowfield Rd. Residents in other parts of Nepean can gather at the Nepean cenotaph on the west side of Ben Franklin Place, at 101 Centrepointe Dr. That event will begin with a 10:40 a.m. march of veterans, scouts and legion members from Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School to the cenotaph at Ben Franklin Place.

Following the service, an open house will be held at the Richmond Legion Hall on Ottawa Street in Richmond. Everyone is welcome to attend this open house. KANATA

The annual ceremony at the cenotaph at the Orléans branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Taylor Creek Drive can draw one to two thousand people when

Nov. 11 is on a weekday, and up to 5,000 when Nov. 11 falls on a weekend. As in previous years, there will be a shuttle running from the Trim Road Park and Ride, as parking at the legion is reserved. Everything starts sharply at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at 800 Taylor Creek Dr. There will also be a ceremony held at the cenotaph in Navan, starting at 10:45 a.m. at 1295 Colonial Rd. OSGOODE/MANOTICK

From 10:45 a.m. to noon, the Royal Canadian Legion (Osgoode Branch 589) is hosting a service, Victoria Street between Eighth Line Road and Louise Street, and to the ceremonial service at the Osgoode Cenotaph in front of the Municipal Building. From 10:15 a.m. to noon, the Royal Canadian Legion (South Carleton Branch 314), east on Beaverwood Road from the Royal Canadian Legion to Manotick Main Street is hosting a Remembrance parade.

SOUTH OTTAWA

While there have been a number of Remembrance services in south Ottawa in the lead up to Nov. 11, the public can still choose from several locations where they can reflect and pay tribute on Remembrance Day itself. A Remembrance Day service takes place on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. at the cenotaph in Greely, weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held in the Legion branch hall on Mitch Owens Road. Please meet in the Legion lounge at 10:45 a.m. Light refreshments and fellowship will follow. And in Metcalfe, a Remembrance Day ceremony begins at 10:45 a.m. at the cenotaph, located at the town hall. It’s anticipated the event will draw many people from across Osgoode Ward to pay their respects. In Heron Park, the Strathcona Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is open to everyone on Nov. 11 from noon to 5 p.m. The branch is located at 1940B Bank St., near the Pizza Hut.

Online Information Session Baseline/Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design November 3, 2016 to November 21, 2016 ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed Stormwater Management Pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015). The proposed pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The pond is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and will identify a preferred alternative and functional design for the pond. You are invited to an Online Information Session to review and comment on the existing conditions and pond alternatives. Please visit Ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond and fill out the questionnaire by November 21, 2016. The study team will review all comments and respond to any concerns or questions before the Class EA report is completed.

He leaves three loving daughters, Christine Jones, Teri Kingston (Harry), Debbie Barr (Don) and grandchildren Danielle and Marc Levesque, Alex and Matthew Barr (Zoë), and Sarah Jones. All deeply mourn their loss, but rejoice in his gain.

John though it has been 20 years, I remember the day I met you, the day God made you mine. I remember the day God took you and will ‘till the end of time. We made our vows together until death do we part, but the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I am dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, that I can go on Living, when I no longer have you! The memory of happy years when we were together, the joy’s, the tears, the love and the fears will stay with me forever. When I am sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper “cheer up & carry on!” Each time I see your picture you seem to smile and say, “don’t cry I am only sleeping, we’ll meet again someday!” Lovingly Remembered Audrey

Book fair coming to All Saints church again BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

A book fair is coming back to the All Saints church. The allsaints Book Fair will take place in the former church’s Bate Hall, 10 Blackburn Ave on Nov. 13. The sale aims to help raise money for Prime Ministers’ Row – an initiative aimed to highlight buildings along Laurier Avenue East which are historically home to multiple prime ministers and fathers of confederation – a street museum in Ottawa. FOR SALE

One of the organizers of the sale, Sandy Hill resident Jane McNamara said the sale brings together the community and a cause. “There used to be a community book fair at All Saints in November every year,” McNamara said. “Every year you knew the book sale was there and you would go. This sale will bring back the book fair that was here for years, but it also supports the Prime Ministers row, and supporting All Saints – the three things came together. This event

FOR SALE

is all about attracting people, move books and carry on the tradition.” The book fair will be held with allsaints new weekly Craft Show and market, a craft show with local vendors and artisans. The committee, McNamara said, is excited to use the new space at allsaints – a community hub since community members purchased the church last year. McNamara said in keeping with the tradition, book prices will range from $0.50 to a $1. DVDs and LPs will be $1 and FOR SALE

CDs will be $0.50 or three for $1. “It’s great to be working with the committee, and it’s a great group of community members,” McNamara said. “I’m looking forward to the sale and seeing people come in and support Prime Minister’s Row. Overall it will be all around great day.” The fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Organizers are still collecting donations which are being accepted at The Guild Room coffee shop at allsaints from now to Nov. 11.
