EMC news - When it comes to interprovincial bridges, it takes two to tango. And Ontario isn’t ready to dance just yet.

The Ontario government has “reset the conversation” on the site of a future bridge between Gatineau and Ottawa, says provincial Transportation Minister Glenn Murray.

He announced on June 17 that Ontario will not provide funding for a bridge proposal that would cross at Kettle Island and make use of the Aviation Parkway to connect bridge traffic with Highway 417.

A recently completed environmental assessment selected Kettle Island as the best place for a new bridge. Without provincial funding, it’s unlikely a bridge could go ahead as planned.

Murray’s announcement – held outside the Montfort Hospital within sight of the Aviation Parkway – was

greeted with cheers by a handful of local residents. Manor Park homeowners had been vocal in their criticism of the Kettle Island crossing because it would bring truck traffic to the parkway as interprovincial trade used the tree-lined road as the shortest connection between the bridge and Highway 417.

Murray said the province “listened very carefully” to the public. He said the Liberal caucus, including local MPP’s Madeleine Meilleur and Phil McNeely, were unanimous in turning down any involvement with the Kettle Island plan.

Meilleur called the provincial decision a victory for residents.

“My thanks go out to the community,” she said. “You were all there at every meeting.

“We need to make sure we don’t move a problem from one established community to another,” Meilleur said.

EMC news - Students at Cairine Wilson Secondary School got a very practical lesson in where their food comes from – by growing it themselves.

Students in the community living class, a life skills program for developmentally disabled students ages 13 to 21, and a Grade 11 biology class

took part in the Growing Up Organic program.

The program, run by the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Organic Growers, ran sessions to teach students a variety of lessons, from planting skills to developing a butterfly garden.

The biology class hatched butterflies they later released into the garden at the back of the school.

City’s number one transportation priority is transit: mayor LOCAL SUPPORT

Continued from page 1

Meilleur was alluding to the heavy truck traffic that currently uses the MacdonaldCartier Bridge and King Edward Avenue, and that could shift to any new crossing.

McNeely said he’s happy to see the province walk away from the Kettle Island plan.

“I’m really pleased that the message (from Murray) came out strong,” McNeely said, adding that the city’s east-west traffic needs to be addressed before a bridge is built.

TUNNEL?

Murray said the province plans to work closely with the city to re-establish a transportation master plan for the city.

“We need a longer-term view and a conversation with the whole region,” Murray said, adding that means looking at east-west travel, truck routes and getting cars off the road by investing in public transit.

“The provincial government has to listen closely to municipal councils and mayors,” Murray said.

Murray said a master plan for Ottawa’s transportation needs could include a tunnel between Gatineau and Ottawa, a tunnel only for trucks, or even a ring road around the city’s established communities, an idea that was floated about a decade ago and then shelved.

“What we’re not going to do is thrust new bridges and highways through existing neighbourhoods,” Murray said.

Mayor Jim Watson said he was pleased to hear the province’s position.

“It mirrors what I’ve said all along,” Watson said. “The city’s number one transportation priority is transit … We can’t take our eyes off that ball.”

Among those in attendance at the announcement was Orléans resident Louis Caron, a member of Sustainable Ottawa along with some residents of Manor Park and Lowertown. He said he’s been working for five years on the truck traffic issue.

Caron said he’d like to see a vehicle tunnel between Gatineau and Highway 417 that stretches under Dalhousie Street and Nicholas Avenue.

“It would eliminate 11 traffic lights,” he said of the proposal, which has already been shared with the city.

He called the idea of resurrecting the city’s transportation master plan an excellent suggestion, noting that had a Kettle Island bridge gone ahead, the number of people using public transit could actually drop as riders switch to cars.

One local resident who arrived at the Montfort Hospital announcement site on his bike said he agreed with the province’s decision.

Robert, who didn’t give his last name, lives near Manor Park.

He said the question of a Kettle Island bridge has been around for a long time, and despite the province pulling the plug, the city needs to address the downtown truck traffic.

“They still have to find a solution,” he said.

Cumberland Coun. Steven Blais said the announcement is an important decision for the community.

“I applaud the provincial government for making the decision,” he said, adding that spending should be prioritized. “If there’s a billion or a billion-and-a-half dollars floating around it should be spent on the LRT. We’ve working very hard to get an extension of LRT to Orléans much sooner than (has been) discussed.”

The province says it will not put funds towards an interprovincial bridge at Kettle Island, effectively scuttling plans for a new crossing at that location. MPP Madeleine Meilleur, right, is joined by MPP Phil McNeely, far left, and Ontario Minister of Transportation Glen Murray at the announcement, made outside the Montfort Hospital on June 17. bridge far in the future.

“If there ever was going to be a bridge built, I think Kettle Island was always the best location,” Monette said, “but when it comes to priorities for Orléans, right now a bridge is not a priority.

“It’s a good idea to identify the future location, but right now all our resources should

Blais also questioned the utility of a crossing at Kettle Island since the completed bridge study says a crossing at Kettle Island would have “almost no impact on trucks in downtown and Lowertown.”

Orléans Coun. Bob Monette also spoke about spending priorities, but still thinks Kettle Island may be the site of a

be focused on LRT and infrastructure. What we need right now is for the province, the federal government and the municipality to concentrate on the major issues at hand.”

Watson said the idea of tunnel for trucks under Ottawa’s downtown was dismissed too early in the process.

“What (the province’s de-

cision) should do is act as an impetus to look at that more closely,” Watson said.

The mayor also floated the idea of using tolls to help pay for the tunnel, adding that Murray was “enthusiastic” about that idea during a meeting on June 18.

Terry Fox students use technology to fight bullying brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - On June 14, Terry Fox Elementary School students gathered their classmates into the gym, and told them why bullying needs to stop, without their teachers needing to speak. “As intermediate students, we set an example for younger students,� said Grade 8 student Sofie Milito, one of the assembly organizers. “We need to be role models.�

Students in Grade 7 and 8 produced two videos about bullying, addressing physical, verbal and cyberbullying.

Grade 7 student Reona Wilcox, who organized the assembly with Sofie, said it’s important to teach young students about bullying, because sometimes she hears them Description : DAG MontrĂŠal using words and: names when they BMWMTN000 N dossier Client : BMW don’t evenDescription understand the meaning. : DAG MontrĂŠal Publication : The Gazette “It makes you think, where dossier : BMWMTN000 N Trim : 10.0625â€? x 7.125â€? did Client : : BMW Couleur 4C it start?â€? she this happen?

Sofie said it was good to use technology to fight bullying instead of increasing it, because the Internet has o

made the problem worse with cyberbullying. In the Grade 8 produced video, a student received mean messages at home from another student. “The Internet has turned it into something bigger,� Sofie said.

The videos shared the message that students should stand up to bullies if they see another student being harassed, even if it isn’t the student themselves. Speakers at the assembly talked about the role bystanders play when they don’t speak up to bullies.

Students also read poems, sang and acted out skits at the assembly.

Roana said the students do a lot of anti-bullying units and talks at the school, and while it might seem repetitive to some students, it’s slowly helping to fight bullying. “You see it getting better, and see these things help.�

‘It’s a real hands-on approach to learning’: project manager Continued from page 1

The area includes plants to encourage the insects to breed.

Alissa Campbell, the Growing Up Organic project manager, visited to the school six times to help facilitate the planting and to teach the students about gardening.

“It’s a real life, hands on approach to learning,” Campbell said. “It’s also a chance to be an environmental steward and see how your food is produced and where it comes from.”

Campbell mostly works with classes from Grade 3 to 10, but modified the workshops to suit the two different classes at Cairine Wilson.

The program fit in well with the school’s environmental focus, said teacher Nancy Arnot-

Conroy. The school is gold certified through the Ontario Eco Schools program.

It helps the environment to keep our garden safe and green.

It meshed with the community living curriculum because, once a week, the class chooses a healthy meal plan for lunch, does the grocery for ingredients, and make the meal in class. In this case, they harvested vegetables instead of purchasing them at the grocery store.

“It helps the environment to keep our garden safe and green,” said 16-year-old Courtney de Winter. “And I like eating the vegetables because I know they’re awesome and healthy.”

Campbell said it’s easier to get students in her workshops, especially elementary students, to eat their vegetables when they’re ones they grew on their own.

After harvesting vegetables for their lunch, students planted potatoes. Once they’re ready to pick, students will donate them to the food bank. The community living class volunteers to help sort food there once a month.

“The next step, once you Brier Dodge/Metroland learn how to grow food, is to Students enrolled in the community living class at Cairine Wilson Secondary School give back to the community,” harvest vegetables from the garden they had planted alongside teacher Nancy ArnotCampbell said.

With, Ottawa Valley LeafGuard you get MORE than a great gutter system you get expert installation and personal service from a local established company, who is going to be there during and after your installation.

What’s Wrong with Clogged Cutters?

Ordinary gutters capture rainwater and also collect leaves, twigs and other organic debris that can become clogged and create dams that impede the flow of water.

These clogs cause water to spill over your gutter and pool on the ground below. This can result in damage to your shrubs; lead to surface erosion; and seep into your foundation causing cracks and basement flooding. Water can also spill behind the gutter causing damage to the wood of your fascia and soffit.

If you have add-on toppers, helmets and hoods, that are attached to your roof and hang over your gutters, they are usually held in place by screws and nails hammered into your roof. Putting holes in your roof can cause leaks and may void your roof warrantees.

Take the first step in making your home maintenance free

The United Way Ottawa announced it will be handing out more than $20 million in funding for community programs, initiatives and social services this year.

OrlĂŠans News EMC - Thursday, June 27, 2013

EMC news - The United Way Ottawa announced it will be investing more than $20 million dollars into the community this year.

The United Way made the announcement that $24.5 million will be invested to programs, organizations and front-line services this year at the Michele Heights Community Centre on June 17.

About half of the funding will go directly to three of the organization’s focused areas: “growing up great,� “belonging to community� and “turning lives around.�

Jamie McCracken, chairman of the United Way board, attended the event, saying this funding announcement was only made possible because of the support from donors. “Today’s announcement shows that thanks to the generosity of our donors,� he said. “You can see how this work is changing lives today and contributing to the positive community improvements we want to see tomorrow.�

The organization also released, for the first time, a report which details how donations made to the organization help contribute to change in the city at the announcement.

The organization changed the way the way it allocates money raised from its annual campaign more than two years ago, crafting priorities and funding criteria in order to appeal to donors.

Jeffrey Dale, chairman of the United Way’s community services cabinet, said the new report points to the impact of donations have on the community’s future. “Donors want to know how their contributions are invested and how they are making a difference,� he said.

In March, United Way announced that $30 million was raised for the community campaign.

FUNDING BREAKDOWN

Of the $24 million to be handed out, $12.8 million will be directed towards front-line programs, community-wide initiatives, targeted community investment and research focused on United Way’s three focused areas. “Growing up great� will receive $2.9 million to support community development work, with 29 front-line programs delivered by 20 agencies receiving $2.2 million, the Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative and other community development strategies receiving $299,000 and the targeted community investment receiving $$383,000. “Belonging to community� will receive $3.9 million, with $2.6 million being given to 32 agencies that run 45 different programs in the city and $1.3 million will be divided to two communitywide initiatives, Hire Immigrants Ottawa and the Employment Accessibility Resource Network. “Turning lives around� will receive $4 million, with $3.3 million of the funding going to 27 agencies who run 31 programs in the city.

The remaining $302,000 will be given to other community development strategies and $340,000 will be handed out in grants and targeted community investment funding.

United Way’s priority goal to strengthen the capacity of social services sector in Ottawa will receive $687,000 with $599,000 of this funding will be handed out to five agencies’ five programs. The remaining $88,000 will go towards community development strategies.

The United Way will use $1.3 million for work related to research, evaluation and management of the investment in priority goal partners’ programs and services that support the achievement of priority goals.

At the request of donors, $11.7 million will be handed out to more than 4,200 other registered Canadian charities.

Well, what now Queen’s Park?

S

o, the province has declared it won’t support an interprovincial bridge crossing at Kettle Island.

OK. This newspaper has supported the construction of at bridge at that location in the past, but barring a change in the political winds, the route favoured by the National Capital Commission appears to be dead in the water. But what does the city do now?

That the capital region needs another Ottawa River crossing does not need any further justification: the last bridge, Portage, was built by the NCC in 1973 when the area population stood at about half of what it is now. As cities grow, the need for infrastructure grows along with it.

So what do we do now? The province has said it will work with the city to develop a new transportation master plan to accommodate future growth, but the need for a new interprovincial crossing can’t be ignored by such an exercise – Ottawa and Gatineau don’t exist independently of one another.

Some have suggested constructing a tunnel beneath the river to divert truck traffic away from Lowertown – King Edward Avenue is currently the most-used route into the city for trucks moving to and from Gatineau – but such a plan would cost

significantly more than a bridge.

Perhaps one of the other routes studied by the NCC, at Lower Duck Island or McLaurin Bay, would be better. Except they have both been identified as being more expensive, according to the NCC’s studies, and would require significant additional infrastructure to connect with the rest of the road network.

Whatever the answer, action needs to be taken. An east-end interprovincial crossing has been discussed for decades and the issues are not going away any time soon. The efficient transport of goods to and from the city is vital to economic growth, which effects employment, wealth and consumer prices in the capital region.

Now that the province has taken its stand, what will it do to address the problem? It was not particularly helpful to denounce a plan without offering an alternative. Perhaps the government wants to take some time to study the issue, but haven’t we been doing just that for more than 20 years? It would have been more responsible of Transportation Minister Glenn Murray to resist making his announcement until the province had something tangible to offer the residents of Ottawa in the way of an alternative.

No action simply is not a responsible choice when it comes to Ottawa’s future.

You can’t get there from here in a big city

T

he other day someone was talking in the paper about light rail and the lamentable absence of a north-south route. As luck would have, this discussion coincided with a couple of drives to the airport and back, in the period between 4 and 6 p.m.

Don’t ever do this. As far as I can figure out, having tried all the available routes to and from the middle west of Ottawa, you can’t get there from here. And you can’t get back.

And sure, you can suggest picking some other time of day, but you might have a hard time convincing the airlines to change their schedules.

The big problem is that everybody wants to go south and more and more of them are choosing the Airport Parkway (by the way, how come it hasn’t been named after Sir John A. Macdonald yet?).

Most of them don’t use the parkway to get to the airport. They us it get to other places and the parkway, nicely narrowing from four lanes to two just when the four are most needed, can’t handle the traffic. Nor can Bronson Avenue, as the people who live in the Glebe have long known.

And even getting to the parkway is no pic-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town nic either, since every car wants to go east on Baseline and Heron, every car except for the cars that want to go west. At certain points the east-bound and west-bound travellers can stare across the median at each other as they sit mired in traffic.

That leaves the Merivale-Hunt Club-Uplands Drive option, which worked pretty well about 15 years ago. Merivale is, well, Merivale. And Hunt Club has a huge jam-up, just about any time of day, at its Riverside and Prince of Wales intersections.

Still, it takes about the same amount of time as the Baseline-Merivale-Airport Parkway option – which is to say, twice the amount of time it takes in off hours.

You’d think it would be easier coming back, but it isn’t. The parkway sails along Published weekly by:

nicely, but Hunt Club has the same problems going east. Baseline-Heron has the same congestion going west.

Face it, everybody wants to go everywhere. At a certain time of day, every direction in Ottawa seems to contain a favourite destination. You can sit still in your car no matter which direction you are facing.

One driver, lulled by a smooth ride north on the parkway, decided to stay on it, head north on Bronson to Carling. That worked well until three blocks from the Carling intersection, when everything decided to stop moving for 15 minutes. An option would have been to keep going and turn onto the Queensway, but why would anyone do that?

It is easy enough for an occasional visitor to the airport to complain, but there are people who have to do this, or a variation of it, every day, usually at a time when everybody else is trying to do it as well. And you only have to drive south a bit and look at all the new construction to realize that the situation is going to be way worse in the near future.

It would be nice to think that the new Strandherd Bridge, if it is ever finished, will make things better, but it is hard to see how it can help much.

really help, but that is probably decades in the future, not to mention many millions of dollars. More houses are going up and more people are traveling on the same roads.

Maybe some of them will start working from home.

Maybe some employers may decide to locate where the people are. You can only hope.

Meanwhile there will be considerable agitation to build more lanes on this road and that, which never seems to solve anything.

We wanted to become a big city. Well, guess what.

Sleep isn’t a luxury – it’s essential to good health

I

f health statistics are to be believed, I spent most of the winter living like most of you, dear readers. In other words, I ate too much, sat too much, drank too much and failed to get 150 minutes of exercise per week, (like a shocking 80 per cent of adult Canadians).

These are all things that contribute to chronic disease and early death.

As a recent Maclean’s cover story highlighted, however, there’s something else that’s debilitating and slowly killing us -- sleep deprivation.

Adults require 8.5 hours of sleep, on average, per night, yet most of us are running a devastating sleep deďŹ cit.

The June 24th feature highlighted a number of disturbing medical studies that would suggest it’s time to better prioritize sleep in our lives.

One, out the University of Chicago, restricted seven healthy, thin volunteers to 4.5 hours of sleep per night. “Their very cells had been transformed,� summarizes journalist Luiza Ch. Savage in Maclean’s. “It was as if the bodies of the otherwise healthy specimens had been swapped

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse with that of someone else: someone heavy and sick.�

Savage goes onto summarize a number of international studies that not only link sleep deprivation to depleted cell growth and repair, diabetes and obesity, but also to decreased pain tolerance, weakened memory and impaired social judgment.

One scientist quoted in the article went so far as to suggest that sleep deprived individuals act in a similar way to those under the inuence of alcohol, even putting women at higher risk of sexual harassment and unwanted pregnancies.

Just last week, my family doctor mentioned research circulating in the medical community that seems to be strengthening the link between long-term sleep deprivation and ďŹ bromyalgia, a chronic pain and fatigue disorder. Ninety per cent of ďŹ bromyalgia patients are women.

A 2011 Norwegian study on the subject shockingly concluded that long-term sleep deprivation triples women’s risk of getting ďŹ bromyalgia. Researchers began by interviewing 12,350 healthy, pain-free women about their sleep habits. A decade later, those who had identiďŹ ed sleep difďŹ culties at the beginning of the study were three times more likely than those who said they slept well to have developed ďŹ bromyalgia symptoms.

All this is horrible and shocking, but is it enough to make a nation of fatigued individuals change our behaviour? Probably not.

But what if we consider how inadequate sleep affects our children?

I have friends -- mothers -- that haven’t had a full night’s sleep in more than a decade. They don’t believe in sleep-training, they say, which means they’ve got toddlers waking every two hours

to feed and school-aged children refusing bedtimes or waking up frequently with night terrors. Although my friends seem to be coping for the moment -- I’m not sure how -- I worry about their health in 10 years’ time, and the health of their children.

Children need a lot more sleep than parents realize.

School-age kids need 10-11 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to be healthy. Kids under four need 11-12 hours of consecutive sleep per night, plus 2-3 hours during the day.

And what happens if they don’t?

Well, not only does it put their immune systems at higher risk of contracting viruses, but, as Savage notes in her Maclean’s piece, researchers have found “inadequate sleep in children has been linked to hyperactivity and even incorrect diagnosis of attention deďŹ cit disorder (ADD).â€?

Recently, we were experiencing some issues with one of our children. Was it ADD? He seemed chronically anxious, temperamental and frustratingly inattentive.

It wasn’t until I started researching sleep that I realized he’s been running a deďŹ cit for several weeks -- call

it end-of-school fever. We rolled back his bedtime by an hour and, within a week, he’s become a different kid.

When I’ve advocated for sleep training to some parents, they’ve made the false assumption that sleep training causes anxiety.

In fact, the opposite is true.

Most disturbing to me, as a parent, is the link between sleep deprivation and depression, including chronic depression leading to suicide. As a parent, I see it as my responsibility -- not a mere choice -- to teach my

kids to respect sleep, and show them, with love, how to get there, from as early as possible.

Now that summer has arrived, I’m happy to say that I’m no longer eating, drinking and sitting all day long. In fact, I’m working out two hours per day minimum. The only exception is on days when I don’t get a good night’s sleep.

Thankfully, even with an infant (who sleeps 11 hours consecutively per night, on average), we’ve managed to keep those to a minimum.

OrlĂŠans baseball umpire receives award for work in Uganda Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - An OrlĂŠans Little League umpire received a special award in British Columbia earlier this month for his work in Mpigi, Uganda.

Chuck Dufton, the league’s umpire consultant, became involved with a team in Langley, British Columbia, which missed the opportunity to play the 2012 European champions at the 2012 World Series in Pennsylvania.

Because of documentation problems, the European winning team, from Uganda, wasn’t able to make the trip to participate.

So the Langley team of 11-and 12-year-old boys decided fundraise for the team and one parent per player to travel to Uganda in January 2012.

Dufton received partial funding from the OrlĂŠans Little League organization to travel with the team and help teach different baseball clinics throughout the week.

They worked with a variety of groups and communities to teach the basics of baseball and the more advanced skills for more experienced players. “I like to call it baseball 101,� he said. “It concerned umpires, it concerned players, it concerned middle school teachers.�

SGT. RONALD DUCHESNE, RIDEAU HALL/ Š 2013 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA

Chuck Dufton is presented with the Governor Generals’ Caring Canadian Award, by Gov. Gen. David Johnston on June 3 in Langley, BC. Dufton, the OrlÊans Little League umpire consultant, was presented the award for his work with the Pearl of Africa baseball series in Uganda.

At the end of the week, the players played the game that was always supposed to happen, the Canadians

against the European champions.

The Ugandan team won 2-1.

Professional baseball players

Jimmy Rollins, Gregg Zaun and Derrek Lee also made the trip to help promote the sport, which is

growing in Uganda.

Dufton ended up travelling back to Uganda several months later in May 2012 to umpire the Ugandan National Championships.

He said the sport is currently growing and has been added to the middle school physical education curriculum in Uganda, meaning teachers are learning the rules and strategies. “This has blossomed, and is continuing to grow,� he said. “It was a life changing experience for everyone who was there.�

The Pearl of Africa Series, as the project was dubbed, is now bringing four Ugandan coaches to Canada for several months to teach them indepth coaching methods. While they are here, fundraisers will be held to send them back with equipment and materials to help grow the sport.

For their work with the Pearl of Africa series, the Governor General awarded Caring Canadian awards to those involved.

Dufton travelled to Langley, B.C. at the start of the month to receive his award.

Back home in OrlĂŠans, he continues to umpire various ages of youth baseball while working with the OrlĂŠans Little League board. “Most of the kids (who play baseball) in Orleans in the last seven years have seen me at one stage or another,â€? he said.

ByWard Market study leads to more study Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city will spend an additional $80,000 on more in-depth study of ideas to improve the ByWard Market recommended in a recent study.

The city’s planning committee OKed spending $50,000 on more study to the policy and funding needed to create new governance model for the market, which some argue is ailing due to vacant stalls and storefronts.

“I feel the market has been looking tired,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, who sits on the planning committee. “I am not so proud to take people there anymore, but that’s where they want to go.”

The city will spend another

$30,000 on a plan to improve the streetscape. Any construction costs would be above and beyond that amount.

Those funds are needed to implement the suggestions in a report called Strengthening the Future of the ByWard Market, was prepared by New York-based Project for Public Spaces.

It recommends things like creating a non-profit group to manage the market vendors, providing incentives for food retailers, improving safety and creating more vibrant public spaces. While these aren’t brand-new concepts, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, those ideas are reinforced in the report.

However, the debate at planning committee centered on an age-old problem in the market:

Didn’t get your War Amps key tags in the mail?

balancing the needs and desires of its residents with the interests of tourists, many of whom might arrive to the ByWard Market by automobile.

Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess pointed out the disconnect between the “two views of vehicles:” providing more cheap parking to encourage people to come to the market by car, or restrict access and parking for cars in order to create a pleasant environment for shoppers.

David O’Neill, one of the Project for Public Spaces consultants, said parking fees have to be low enough to not discourage people from going there, but the city must provide other opportunities for people to get there by foot or bike.

City planning manager Lee Ann Snedden said that while the market is the city’s “top”

tourism destination, it is also a dense residential area.

Although it is a tourism driver, the city is “trying to promote local fresh foods in this area as well,” Snedden said.

Suburban councillors also expressed concern that the ByWard Market would try to appeal to residents across the city and would therefore contradict efforts to encourage people to shop at local neighbourhood markets.

“We are not trying to compete with the Saturday morning markets,” said Fleury, noting that the ByWard Market runs seven days a week. “We’re different.”

The governance report being prepared for 2013 will look at the impact on other markets.

A Lowertown resident who spoke at the meeting was less

concerned about parking issues and access to fresh foods than the proliferation of bars and restaurants.

Sylvie Grenier of the Lowertown Community Association said while the group is generally in support of the report, the association is requesting that the city study mechanisms it could use to regulate or limit new bars or restaurants from popping up.

Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume sparred with Grenier over that request, saying that the city would land itself in court if it tried to restrict property owners from exercising a right to put that type of business on their property that has existed for 100 years.

“I don’t know that there is, or has been, or that this report provides the justification to

take away that right,” Hume said.

O’Neil of the Project for Public Spaces also warned against a moratorium on certain types of businesses.

There was some interest in reducing or changing the fees for vendors in the market.

Fleury said he’d like to look at a sliding scale that would offer space for cheaper during slow hours. Adel Ayad, a ByWard Market property owner, said slashing the fees in half or more and easing the complicated process to set up as a vendor in the market would help fill the vacant booths that are becoming more numerous.

Patricia Kilmartin, who represents the stall vendors in the market, also asked for an immediate 20 per cent decrease in the rental cost.

red tape when he tried to send people to Quebec.

Ron Barr, who helped to organize the protest with MacLaren, is a spokesperson for the Greater Ottawa Trucking Association.

He said many of the people he represents are having trouble making ends meet because Quebec truckers don’t pay fees to work in Ontario, making it possible for them to underbid on jobs.

Barr said he and MacLaren brought along a dozen trucks as a gesture, but he could get a lot more.

“Obviously I don’t want to do that, but I could have brought a 100 trucks,” he said, adding protesting truckers could shut down the city.

MacLaren’s bill has already gone through the first reading.

He expects it to go through second reading on Sept. 12 and become law by Christmas.

“We had no intention of trying to stop (Quebec truckers and contractors) up until now,”

EMC news - In a bid to draw attention for his private members bill, Fairness is a Two-Way Street, CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and a group of supporters shut down a lane of traffic on the Champlain Bridge June 13.

The act – if it becomes law – would make construction projects on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River off limits to Quebec-based firms.

A similar law was enacted by the Harris government in 1999 but was repealed by the liberals in 2006.

MacLaren was joined by long-time trucker Lloyd Griffith, who said having to compete with Quebec truckers who don’t pay taxes in Ontario makes it an uneven playing field. Walter Pamic, who owns an electrical services company, said it was easier to send his employees to Nicaraugua and Poland then deal with the

McLaren said. “This will slam the door on Quebec. Quebecers will lose jobs but we are going to protect Ontario jobs.”

MacLaren thanked College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who is

attempting to introduce a motion that would bar Quebec construction companies from bidding on city jobs. Chiarelli wasn’t immediately available for comment, but he plans to

bring the motion to a vote on June 26.

Barr said he would continue to champion the cause of Ontario truckers to local politicians.

“We need to take care of Ontario first,” he said.

Orléans singer, cancer survivor promote country song Singer-songwriter pens song about 16-year-old cancer survivor Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - A song written by an Orléans singer has quickly spread among parents of sick children in the oncology unit at CHEO as a message of hope.

Inspired by Dennis Gudbranson’s fight against cancer as a child, Angela Marie wrote a song titled Give Him Love, which she said has been shared throughout the hospital and at events like the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life.

Dennis, now 16, plays hockey in Blackburn and just finished Grade 10 at Louis Riel high school. He’s been in remission since age eight, and cancer free since age 12.

When he was six years old, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, the most common form of leukemia in adults, and began chemotherapy. He relapsed shortly after finishing his chemotherapy and his family began the hunt to find a bone marrow donor.

It was a case of impeccable timing: just weeks before, a woman from Newfoundland registered with One Match, a national bone marrow donor registry. She was a match for Dennis, and he had the bone marrow transplant that saved his life.

The Gudbranson family are Orléans residents well known in the hockey world –oldest brother Erik plays in the NHL for the Florida Panthers, and brother Alex plays in the OHL for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. They became advocates for the One Match program, and promote the cause at hockey games and other events. Dennis and his family speak and promote events that benefit the cause, especially ones that encour-

age potential donors to have the inside of their mouth swabbed to join the register.

When Marie, 24, a St. Matthew High School and University of Ottawa graduate, heard about Dennis’ story, it stuck with her.

She got the idea for the song in the middle of the night this past winter, and stayed up all night writing it. Then she had to talk the Gudbransons to see how they felt about her penning the lyrics to Dennis’ story.

“I was nervous because I didn’t want it to come across like I knew what it felt like.

It’s not my story,” she said.

Dennis grew up fast, his future big and bright, ‘til his momma saw one winter night, her baby’s bruises just weren’t fading right.

The doctor sat them down, he broke their hearts as he laid it down. He’s up for the fight of his life now.

Give Him Love lyrics by Angela Marie

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Dennis’s brother encouraged Marie to record the song, which Dennis himself found out about at the end of May. “It was pretty intense,” he said of his first time hearing the song. “It’s a really accurate description of what we were going through.”

The lyrics of the song talk about the support that Dennis received from his family, with his three siblings and

Angela Marie, left, and Dennis Gudbranson, stand in front of the Shenkman Arts Centre. Marie, a country singer, wrote a song called Give Him Love about Dennis’s time fighting cancer as a child. He’s been cancer free for the past four years. parents constantly at the hospital, and that the family received from the community.

“It’s circled around the family and how I felt – so it was kind of like my wishes of what I would want (if I was in the same situation),” Marie said.

“It’s really just meant to help people get through a

tough time.”

She’s already performed the song at the Orléans Relay for Life event, and CHEO and Canadian Blood Services have expressed interest in using the song as well. Marie said the nurses on the oncology floor have been sharing the song with parents of children who are currently un-

dergoing cancer treatments.

Dennis still goes back to CHEO once a year to make sure he’s cancer free, but has his goals set on graduating high school and eventually getting a hockey scholarship to play college hockey in the United States.

Marie plans to use the song, which was recorded in

Vancouver with help from a children’s choir, on her upcoming EP, and eventually on a full CD. For more information on upcoming performances or to watch the video for Give Him Love, and an interview with Dennis and Erik Gudbranson, visit www.angelamarieofficial.com.

Workers fired for taping children to beds Blair Edwards and Emma Jackson blair.edwards@metroland.com

Two workers at a Hunt Club-area day care have been fired after allegedly using masking tape to keep children in their cots during nap time.

Three or four children were involved in the incidents at the day care at Bayview Public School, but none were injured, according to reports.

The early childhood educators were suspended and

later fired following an investigation by the nursery in February, by the Ottawa School Day Nursery, a notfor-profit organization that leases 13 facilities at elementary schools from the Ottawa public school board.

“They don’t fall under the school district,” said Hyacinth Haddad, spokesperson for the board.

Mark Fisher, trustee for Gloucester-Southgate/Osgoode, said he was taken

aback by the reports of abuse at the Bayview centre.

“I was just shocked when I read it,” he said. “I was just floored.”

He said the self-governing nursery will fall under the board’s governance starting in September.

“OSDN will be merged back into the school board so we can use those assets and those people to help run the full-day kindergarten program,” he said.

Lowertown residents miffed by STO compromise Sussex reconstruction means buses must run down Botelar Street Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A small group of Lowertown residents were stunned at a public meeting on June 13 when they were informed the city plans to build a roundabout in their community for the benefit of STO buses, which will be routed through neighbourhood streets.

Residents expected to hear about a plan to move two historic homes on Sussex Drive to accommodate a widening of the road, a project set to begin this summer.

Instead, the meeting focused on a related plan to turn a four-way stop at Union Street and the northern leg of King Edward Avenue to accommodate a turnaround for STO buses waiting to start their routes through the ByWard Market in the afternoon.

The roundabout will cost $1 million for the city to

Mathieu Fleury

build. It’s part of the $31million budget for the Sussex facelift.

A roundabout wasn’t contemplated until it was determined that the removal of the Sussex bus lanes would be a problem for STO service, according to Ziad Ghadban, the city’s project manager for the road reconstruction.

“It was developed in the late stages because we had a lot of work to do with the STO,” said Ghadban.

“It was just, how do we get them to that time point in the most efficient manner if we take away that lane they had

access to,” he said.

The roundabout was designed in the late fall or early winter of 2012, Ghadban said. Residents didn’t find out about it until the June 13 meeting and chastised Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury for keeping them in the dark for so long.

“We did get some comments tonight that we do need to follow up on,” Fleury said, adding that some of the proposals for dealing with the STO bus issue were presented in preliminary public meetings on the road project “Bottom line to is: it highlights once again that we need a solution for interprovincial transit to get buses at Bayview and and LeBreton (Transitway stations),” Fleury said. “Because every time we make streets that make sense … we’re going to live these impacts.”

The new facility is needed because the Sussex reconstruction will remove a dedicated bus lane and reduce that road to one lane in each direction the section north of Boteler Street.

As a result, STO buses that use that route to get to their

layup point on the northern section of King Edward would be stuck in traffic for longer, driving up operating costs for the STO.

Bottom line to is: it highlights once again that we need a solution for interprovincial transit to get buses at Bayview and and LeBreton (Transitway stations).

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury

After looking at a number of options, the city determined that routing STO buses through Lowertown via Boteler Street was the most efficient option.

That incensed Donna Kearns, who lives on that street.

“I’m absolutely stunned,” she said at June 13 meeting.

“If you do this to our street, you’re going to destroy our street.”

Kearns was worried about

the noise and air quality issues of having 20 buses rumble down her now-quiet street in the peak afternoon hour.

A total of 124 STO buses come over from Quebec to run routes through Ottawa before heading back to Gatineau each afternoon, said Pat Scrimgeour, transit planning manager for OC Transpo.

Those buses take different routes and wait at different points, so only about 20 of them would need to use the King Edward layup at any given time in the afternoon, he said.

That number will go down after the Rapibus system is in place this fall. He said the STO expects a 15 to 30 per cent reduction in the number of buses are certain points of the day.

Nathan Davis, co-chairman of the King Edward Avenue Task Force, said the roundabout is another example of the city and National Capital Commission prioritizing their plan for a grand boulevard at the expense of Lowertown residents.

The proposal would also include allowing only STO buses to turn left from Sus-

sex onto Boteler, which is not permitted for other vehicles.

BASKETBALL COURT

There are preliminary plans to build a basketball court between the Rideau River and the northern section of King Edward, just south of Union Street.

That area, which is on a hill, would be used for construction staging for the roundabout, which creates an opportunity to build a court there after the construction mess is cleaned up.

The plan would also involve putting approximately five parking spaces in a small lot off Union Street.

Fleury said members of the Lowertown Community Association have been lobbying to get a basketball court in their community, and the riverside location is a good one because it isn’t near homes where residents could be disturbed by the noise of people playing basketball.

The court plan is very preliminary and residents will be consulted to see if that’s the best use of the space, Fleury said.

Preliminary plans revealed for Rideau River crossing michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Parking spots, connections, bike lanes and timelines were all hot topics at the city’s latest open house concerning a multi-use crossing between Overbrook and Sandy Hill.

The Rideau River pathway open house at the Overbrook Community Centre was a busy place on June 10, when more than 35 people came out in the first hour to speak with city staff about the project.

The city identified the need for a multi-use pathway connection between Range Road in Sandy Hill and North

he Country Fun team!

River Road in Overbrook more than a year ago and an environmental study report looking at where along the river and what type of bridge should be built was completed in January 2012.

The plans revealed at the open house included designs for a new multi-use pathway crossing the river which will connect to the east and west pathways, the resurfacing of the parking lot at Strathcona Park and the reconstruction of Donald Street.

Along with paving the parking lot at Strathcona, two new handicap spaces will be added. On the Donald side, however, it’s a bit of a different story. Parking will be re-

moved from the city-owned road to accommodate the widening of the pedestrian and cycling pathway and the reconstruction of the road.

The pathway will connect directly where the Rideau Tennis Club is located in Overbrook.

Currently, the club leases its land from the National Capital Commission. Parking made available at the club is split between club-owned spots and city-owned spots on the road.

To expand the pathway along Donald, the city will be taking back some of its land, paving and curbing the current dirt road and reducing the number of parking spots

City project engineer Jeffery Waara said that the city conducted a parking count over the summer period of 2010, which concluded that on average over the 10 days the study was done, 38 vehicles were parked. The maximum number of vehicles parked during the 10 days was 61. The variance in the numbers is based on usage

Crossing needs bicycle path: Ottawa resident

Cornmeal-crusted trout with jerk sauce tantalizes tastebuds

Continued from page 17

EMC lifestyle - The delicate texture of farm raised-trout is enhanced by a light coating of cumin-scented cornmeal. As a contrast to its mild sweet taste, we’ve created a bold sauce from fresh Ontario vegetables.

Preparation time: 15 minutes.

Cooking time: 20 minutes.

Serves four with 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of sauce.

The crossing will be four metres wide and the pathway will be three metres wide. For Overbrook resident Louise Renauld, she feels it’s important for the crossing to have some type of segregated bicycle path.

“It would just make me, and some other older individuals maybe, feel more comfortable crossing,” she said.

Steve Zabarylo said there are a number of positives that come along with project, including connecting the two communities.

Historically, a seasonal summer wooden footbridge located between the west river bank in Strathcona Park and the east river bank near the club on Donald was used to connect Vanier and Overbrook to Sandy Hill. When that practice was discontinued many people continue to cross the river barefoot when the water is low in the summer.

“It will give us access to downtown, could bring in more business to Overbrook,

Ingredients

City of Ottawa/Submitted

A preliminary design of a pedestrian bridge across the Rideau River will connect the two communities, as well as create a bike pathway from Strathcona Park to Donald Street. and connect students to the community,” Zabarylo said.

Many residents said they were happy to see the latest designs for a bridge, but are becoming impatient with the progress on the project.

Both ward councillors for Sandy Hill and Overbrook, Mathieu Fleury and Peter Clark, have identified this project as a top priority for their office and have said on

separate occasions their goal is to get the project added to the 2014 budget.

If funding is allocated in the upcoming budget, construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2014 and be completed by the fall of 2015.

More tunneling doesn’t please rail critics Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city’s plan to spend an additional $80 million to put 700 more metres of the western leg of the light-rail line underground isn’t enough to placate one community group.

Underground Solution, a community group led by Skead Street resident Lesley Taylor, said the group doesn’t like what the city is proposing.

City staff revealed changes to the 1.2-kilometre western LRT line on June 13 in advance of a public open house that was set to take place this Monday.

The new plans, which include burying an additional section of the line that runs behind homes on Skead Street, was meant to reflect concerns raised by the community, said transportation committee chairman Coun.

Keith Egli. The new buried

section will run from the edge of Rochester Field to Clearly Street, where a new station is proposed to be built.

That’s not enough, Taylor said. Underground Solution wants the entire 9.5-km western LRT line buried. At the moment, the city is proposing to put just over three kilometres of that length underground, including the portion that will run under Richmond Road.

“This is a step in the right direction and there are some good ideas here, but it needs to go further,” Taylor said, noting the changes don’t protect homeowners in the area of Dominion Avenue, where the rail line will still be at grade.

The city’s alterations mean the train line will be underground where it passes closest to homes and it will preserve the ability for people to use the green space between homes

and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers. “(The city) forgot about the Barclay and Upper West,” Taylor said. “It’s not just six homes … There are a lot of condos there.”

The cost of creating another section of tunnel can be contained to $80 million because the short length of that segment means it can be ventilated naturally with openings along the line, rather than with a more expensive ventilation system, Schepers said. That means passengers on the train will get a glimpse of sunlight as they pass by certain points in that segment.

The city will dig down about half the depth of that section of tunnel and build up a small berm over top – a process known as “cut and cover.”

A more robust station at

Cleary and a pathway system that includes protected crossings to the river are also included in the new plan.

At the request of the National Capital Commission, the city also looked at burying an even longer section of the line, including the part that runs through Rochester Field, but that analysis didn’t change the city’s preferred corridor, Schepers said.

Russell Mills, NCC chairman, said on June 13 that the federal board needs some technical meat on the westward light rail expansion’s bones before they give their assent.

Mills said the board, which held a teleconference to discuss the plans Thursday, is not yet in the position to make a decision one way or the other.

Father was so overworked and overtired this time of year

W

ould he topple over and fall out of the rocker? Would he hit the floor with a thud, maybe banging his head on the oven door?

I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was alone. My sister Audrey said she had better things to do than waste time looking through the Eaton’s catalogue.

The three brothers were doing what they did every night in the summer: they were outside throwing balls, using their sling shots or shooting off their B.B. guns. Mother was in the garden. It was just me and Father in the kitchen.

The sun was still streaking through the west window and the kitchen had been redded up. Bedtime was just a couple hours away.

I sat very quietly watching Father. He looked smaller, I thought. Maybe it was the way he was sleeping in the rocker. He didn’t hear his pipe fall to the floor and the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened.

His chin was on his chest and I could see him breathing, his plaid shirt rising and falling gently.

It had been a long day for Father. Chores were done before sun-up. The plow and other pieces of farm machinery had been moved on the stone boat to the back fields across the Bonnechere and over the West Hill weeks before. By the time Father was finished with the morning chores, got the milking done and eaten his breakfast, he would be ready to take the team across the shallowest part of the Bonnechere and head over to the back fields.

He would have picked up the basket of lunch Mother had made the night before, and we wouldn’t see him again until it was time

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories

to come back home for the evening chores.

And so I sat and watched Father and wondered if he would have enough strength left to even get out of his clothes and fall into bed.

Dust of the fields still clung to his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more of the same trapped in the folds.

I could see the edge of his combination underwear showing under his plaid shirt, and I wondered if I dared go and straighten up his head, so that he would be more comfortable.

But of course that would wake him from his much needed sleep.

I wondered why he didn’t go to bed right after his supper, as I sat and watched his worn out body curled uncomfortably in the old rocker. But then he wouldn’t be able to check on the barns, which he never failed to do before falling into bed. No, this was Father’s routine and nothing was going to change it this time of year.

There were fields to plow and cultivate, and grain to plant. There was scant time to do it in, as Father tried to outsmart the weather.

So from dawn to dusk, Father like every other farmer around us, was tied to the habits of the season.

Father wasn’t a big man. The three brothers

were all taller by several inches. My brother Emerson towered over him. But Father was wiry and as straight as a die. But as I sat and watched him, I was scarcely breathing and making not a sound, so that I wouldn’t disturb his rest, I thought he looked so much older than he did before summer planting began.

He was always so much more tired after supper this time of year. The heat of the day

Dust of the fields still clung to his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more of the same trapped in the folds. was heavy on him and even though it was summer, he still wore his plaid shirts with the long sleeves. But he did give up his felt hat with the ear lugs changing to his old battered straw hat, with the wide black headband, marred with the sweat off his brow.

So I sat quietly, watching Father breathe, not a muscle stirring in either of us. And I was overcome with a deep sadness, as I looked at him in the rocking chair, his feet in their usual place on the turned-down oven

door. I wondered, can someone die from overwork? What if one day he didn’t come home from the back fields? What would happen to us?

The sun had gone down behind the grape arbour and the kitchen was darkening, but yet there was daylight and I was still alone at the old pine table, Eaton’s catalogue unopened in front of me, and with my eyes never leaving Father.

He would stay there until everyone came in from outside, banging doors and scraping their feet on the mat, tossing their bats and balls into the box beside the stove. Mother would stop a moment in front of Father and then she would do what she did every night this time of year: she would tap Father on the shoulder.

She may have to do it several times to bring him out of his deep sleep. He would slowly raise his head and look around the kitchen as if he were lost.

I would move myself away from the table and go over to the rocker and pick his pipe up off the floor and put the Ottawa Farm Journal on the bake table.

Father would shuffle over to the bedroom door off the kitchen and he would turn to Everett and tell him to be sure to check the barns before he went to bed. Soon I would hear the creaking of the bed springs and if I listened closely from my spot at the kitchen table, I would hear a deep sigh, followed by soft snores as Father settled down his tired body for the night.

It was just another day, no different than the one before, and no different than the one coming after.

CHEO set to make difference with new strategy sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC News – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario believes the future belongs to children, youth and the aging society.

To address these growing demographics, the CHEO has designed a long-term strategic approach to better suit their needs.

“The child and youth population is growing, and there’s a lot of concern about the aging society,” said CHEO’s President and CEO Alex Munter.

The region’s child and youth population will grow by 20 per cent over the next two decades, said Munter, meaning there will be 70,000 more children than what there is today.

In turn, the organization will have to deal with the demand for more service.

The strategic approach also looks at creating shorter waiting lists for surgery and appointments with specialists and in emergency, as well as having the ability to book one’s own appointment online, getting test results explained understandable, and

Ontario, is aiming to improve its focus and impact over the next 10 years, said Munter.

Recently, the hospital unveiled CHEOnet, the hospital’s largest and most extensive strategic plan to date since opening its doors in 1974.

The centre’s management engaged in discussions with staff, physicians, experts, partners, and most importantly, patients and their families, to build a new plan for the hospital.

“We looked ahead at what we need to do to stay ahead of the curve,” he said.

“We’re at a real interesting tipping point. We are still small enough to change, but big enough to make a difference.”

While CHEO is at the leading edge of patient care and File medicine, they need to find CHEO must find ways to deal with a growing demand for ways to preserve that momenmore service in the Ottawa region says the children’s hos- tum and live up tot hat vision, said Munter. pital’s CEO, Alex Munter.

health care standrads, making the best use of their assets to advance their mission, and fostering a “one team” approach.

With medicine and technology rapidly evolving, the strategic plan sets out the framework for how the hospital can enter into its fifth decade prepared for the future.

Connecting

The seven-month process for developing the strategic plan also looks at finding ways to connect with the entire community – that is, exploring the different partnerships available in the community, utilizing technology to share information within and outside the hospital’s walls, and coordinating care for children with the most complex medical needs.

The plan also looks at embedding service into everything the hospital does, including creating a learning environment focused on continuous improvement, increasing the number of patients involved in clinical trials, setting specific objectives for key activities, and

Meet Bosco (A153811) a 2-yearold, neutered male, tricolour Foxhound eager to meet his new family. He was surrendered to the OHS by his owner on May 9, and is now available for adoption.

Bosco is a handsome, typical hound who loves making new friends as he has a very

We’re just a week away from what is—traditionally, at least— our busiest day of the year at the Ottawa Humane Society: Canada Day. Why Canada Day? There are a few reasons: First, Canada Day is a very busy day helping dogs brought into our care. This is mainly because of the many fireworks displays on July 1st: the big one on Parliament Hill, and the many smaller ones throughout the City. The thing is, most dogs are terrified of fireworks. Even the best trained, never-wanders dog can bolt in fear during fireworks displays and end up at our shelter.

Second, late-June, early-July is our peak season for animals surrendered to us by their owner. As holidays approach, and Time to make vacationaplans develop, sadly, many decide that their dog or cat grooming doesn’tappointment fit with those plans. The result? Hundreds surrendered to the OHS each June and July. When added to an already busy time with many stray animals requiring our care, we can see as many as 40 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens admitted to our shelter every

sweet and outgoing disposition! Bosco would also like to explore his surroundings while on his daily walks, and needs an active, adventurous owner who will keep up with him. He would get along well with confident children, ages 8+, who are looking for a fun-loving play mate!

Meet Nova, a one-year-old, unaltered female, black pied Cockatiel, who’s full of personality! Nova was brought to the OHS as a stray on June 8,and is

now ready to find her forever home. Nova loves to have play-time outside of her cage, and would love it if you took the time to let her enjoy climbing about perches on the exterior of her cage daily.

Birds love to play and explore.

Ladders, ropes, swings and mirrors can all provide great entertainment! Cockatiels enjoy being misted in order to keep clean and will need to have their nails routinely trimmed. Occasional beak filing may be required and should be performed only by a qualified veterinarian. Consult your veterinarian about your bird’s grooming needs.

For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

measuring progress so they can ensure they’re always improving.

“We are on a journey from going to really good to really great,” said Munter.

“This will build on our strength as an organization.

We’ll continue to drive evidence and research into what we do.”

But of course, part of what makes CHEO such a successful organization is due in large part to its team of health care professionals and staff.

Down the road, CHEO will provide its staff with opportunities to innovate, create and make improvements to how they do things.

They’ll also provide training and support to help staff take advantage of the latest technology, some of whom are the best in the world, he added.

“CHEO researchers are in the top six per cent of research globally,” said Munter.

“The impact of their work is felt around the world.”

Munter said they’ll monitor how well they are doing every 90 days, using a balance scorecard to keep track of their progress.

You can help make sure that animals are safe, fewer need our care, and those that do, find their way home or into a new loving home by taking the following steps and trying to ensure that your friends and neighbours do the same: 1. Keep pets indoors Canada Day. 2. Make sure pets have a visible collar and tag and a permanent microchip implant.

3. Plan for holidays for your pets. Help others care for their pets when away.

4. Ensure all pets are sterilized.

5. Adopt a homeless animal at the OHS. From all of us at the Ottawa Humane Society, have a safe and happy Canada Day!

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Patience is necessary this week, Aries. Without it, you will grow frustrated quickly over the course of several days. Relax and make the most of the situation.

Expect to feel energetic and enthusiastic this week, Taurus. You may not know the source of all this energy and optimism, but that’s irrelevant as long as you enjoy these feelings.

You may be feeling a little psychic lately, Gemini. Give your insights the benefit of the doubt and try to understand the message that is being conveyed.

Some intellectual conversation has you aiming for bigger and better things, Cancer. You may start a few creative projects as a result of these discussions.

Leo, don’t be surprised if some changes regarding your career come your way this week. A raise, promotion or a new job may be on the horizon. Embrace these changes.

Virgo, a release of tension is just what you need. You may find that something that has been restricting you and holding you back disappears in a few days.

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!

Libra, sheer luck that brings strange and wonderful things is in the big picture this week. The things that you have been wishing or dreaming of just may come true.

Scorpio, a business or romantic partner brings good news your way. This news erases a funk that you have been in. The news may help you resume a goal you had abandoned.

Sagittarius, don’t worry about an upcoming doctor’s visit. You may just get a clean bill of health from your doctor this week. This will definitely ease up some stress.

You are full of creative energy, Capricorn, and must turn it into projects that may help you to earn some money in the near future. Get started while you are motivated.

Expect some news that sheds light on a difficult issue that you have been trying to resolve, Aquarius. You may feel so relieved that a celebration is in order.

Exciting changes are coming, and they all center around you, Pisces. It may be embarrassing being the center of attention, but try to enjoy it.
