The community is mourning and rallying to help the family and friends of two teenage girls who were killed in a single vehicle accident near Stittsville Sunday night. A GoFundMe effort is underway, and local schools are offering support in the wake of the accident that claimed the lives of two young women and sent two other teenagers to hospital in serious condition.

Fund set up online to help one victim’s young child Continued from Page 1

Clement had a 14-month old daughter. A GoFundMe campaign is raising money to help pay for funeral arrangements and to raise funds to help with her child’s financial needs (https://www.gofundme.com/ y2gh8s-help-for-for-maddiesfamily). “It is with a sad heart and tears in my eyes I type this

message. Sunday June 18th the world lost someone very special,” a family friend wrote in the introduction to the GoFundMe posting. Martel was a student at Kanata’s A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. “I am very sorry to share with you that the fatal accident that occurred in our community this weekend involved a student in our school community.

On behalf of the students and staff at AY Jackson, I have extended our deepest condolences to the family of Michaela Martel,” school principal Sandra Blakely wrote in a message to the A.Y. Jackson Secondary School community. “An accident like this is difficult to understand and it is natural for us to feel confusing emotions as we struggle to make sense of this tragedy. This

is a time for compassion and caring, and a time to appreciate each other,” she said, adding that the school has a resource team in place to help students, staff and parents deal with the tragedy. According to police, four teens were in a vehicle going along Fernbank Road in a rural area outside Stittsville near Jinkinson Road, when, a preliminary police investigation indicates, the vehicle attempted to pass other vehicles and the driver lost control. The vehicle went into a ditch and then crashed into a wooded area. According to Ottawa police Det. Alain Boucher, who acted as a spokesman for police on Monday, police believe the teens were at a bush party be-

fore the accident. A section of Fernbank Road was closed to traffic from the time of the accident Sunday evening until about 2:30 p.m. Monday afternoon. Another police officer at the site of one of the road closed locations along Fernbank would not comment on the investigation Monday morning. Police are continuing to investigate the accident and as of Metroland Media’s deadline,

it was still unknown who was driving the vehicle at the time of the fatal incident. According to a statement from spokesperson Sharlene Hunter of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, the school board is offering the families of the victims support as needed. Police ask that anyone with information about the crash to contact them at (613) 236-1222, ext. 2481.

Coyotes fact of life in rural/suburban environments BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

About 30 Stittsville residents gathered at the community’s public library branch for a primer on how to co-exist with coyotes. And what they heard is that since Stittsville is considered a rural/suburban community, there are many areas that are natural and provide coyotes with a water source and an abundance of food such as small mice, chipmunks, and rabbits. But in general, coyotes in the com-

On the move

It’s not often that motorists are held up in a traffic jam because of a slow moving house, but drivers on Hazeldean Rd. in Stittsville on Monday morning, June 19, had to come to a stop for a brief period as this home got a police escort as it mawde its way down the street.

munity are considered a very low risk to the safety of residents, and the animals have likely been in the vicinity of Stittsville for many years and have not created a threat or risk to public safety. The talk about coyotes comes on the heels of Coun. Shad Qadri hearing from some residents who expressed concerns about coyotes in the area. Qadri hosted a coyote information session on June 12 at the Ottawa Public Library that featured Dr. Nick Stow from Ottawa’s planning, infrastructure & economic development department.

“Dr. Stow did an excellent job conveying information pertaining to urban coyotes in the context of Stittsville suburban neighbourhoods,” Qadri said of meeting. Dr. Stow’s presentation addressed numerous issues such as: • The presence of coyotes is important to maintain a healthy eco-system and keep the rodent population low and at a healthy rate; • Coyotes that have been sighted near residents’ homes are most likely scavenging for food; • Residents should continue to enjoy running, walking, cycling, and

allowing their children to play along the walking paths, the Trans-Canada Trail, and natural areas in the community; • Residents are encouraged, however, to keep dogs on a leash while walking them in these areas; • Residents are encouraged to limit any kind of feeding they may provide in their backyard (such as picking up fallen fruit from any fruit trees in the yard, keeping garbage organized and properly sealed, etc.); • Urban coyotes have a living space of up to 5 km; • Having the animals removed from

the area is only possible by means of lethal trapping or hunting and would probably result in another pack of coyotes re-occupying the area within the year; and • The city can’t remove wildlife and the province strongly advocates against it given that these animals are a considerably low risk to public safety and help to maintain a strong healthy eco-system. Qadri said residents can access copies of Living with Coyotes, provided by the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre, at his office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex.

Crime prevention forum set for June 28 Coun. Qadri urges residents to attend city-wide forum being held in south on gang strategy BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Dealing with street violence is one of the issues that will be front and centre when Crime Prevention Ottawa (CPO) holds a special public consultation forum on the Ottawa Gang Strategy, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri says. Qadri, who is chair of .Crime Prevention Ottawa’s board of directors, said the Gang Strategy Steering Committee, together with community partners, developed and implemented 12 initiatives to address the problem of street violence. “Their four-pillar approach contributed to tangible progress, he said. “Street violence affects us all,” Qadri said. “This public consultation will allow CPO to hear

from a variety of people across Ottawa to find solutions to street violence. “I would like to invite all resident to join for facilitated discussions that will help CPO to collectively address the problem,” he said. The forum is being held June 28 at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre (1265 Walkley Rd.) from 6-8 p.m. Registration is required by emailing cpo@ottawa.ca or by calling 613-580-2424 ex: 25393. The 2013-16 gang strategy, which includes 12 programs and initiatives that are now underway to address neighbourhood cohesion, prevention, intervention and enforcement and suppression, needs to be updated by this fall. “Part of our commitment was to continue with what we

Take a stroll through Stittsville’s history

were doing, but to re-engage a consultation process to refresh the strategy to make sure we were doing the right thing,” said Nancy Worsfold, executive director of CPO. While much of the work is long term, progress has already been made, according to an evaluation of the strategy that was presented to the city’s community and protective services committee last October. Since then, Crime Prevention Ottawa has been seeking feedback on its successes and whether there are gaps that need to be addressed. Five focus groups with adults

Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Magna Carta day was June 15. I was pleased to celebrate it with friends, family, and supporters. Magna Carta is the main exposition of the ancient liberties of the English-speaking peoples. Magna Carta was sealed in 1215, but since that time, those rights have always needed protection and affirmation. Ever-expanding governments have eaten away at our liberties. They have created a nanny state and a Byzantine system of regulation. Modern governments systematically undermine the ancient protections of property, parliamentary independence and free speech in the name of social justice and other misguided causes. Magna Carta was the first statute to forbid arbitrary seizure and to guarantee due process of law. But we need to remember that Magna Carta was neither revolutionary nor innovative. We should think of Magna Carta as a living document. It affirmed and restated rights that were already ancient. At the centre of these rights is the primacy of the individual person over the state and the collective. Our strength as a country comes from the common adherence to our parliamentary monarchy. It comes from trust in a legal system based on common sense and the sanctity of contracts. It comes from our inherited British tradition of ordered liberty under the rule of law. Magna Carta is at the foundation of all those things, and so I’d like to wish everyone a happy Magna Carta day!

Heritage and history will be the star attractions of a special walking tour in Stittsville on Sunday, June 25. Well-known local historian Barbara Bottriell, who was recently honoured with the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year award through the community’s appreciation awards, will lead the walking tour of Stittsville’s historic district that will be held from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The walking tour through Stittsville’s past is part of Heritage Ottawa’s summer walking tour series. “Stittsville, settled in the early 1820’s and rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1870 razed the village, has a designated historic section on its main street. The tour will look at some of the late 19th and early 20th century houses and businesses within this area, and tell the stories of some of its inhabitants. The history of Stittsville also includes a significant railway story,” Heritage Ottawa says of the tour that costs $5 for Heritage Ottawa members and

and youth in neighbourhoods directly affected by street violence have been held. As well, 25 youth and young adults, who are clients of the Time for Change Gang Intervention initiative, have been interviewed. “Part of what I am hearing is a need to communicate more with regards to what we are doing,” Worsfold said. “What we’re also hearing is we need to continue and not let up.” City residents also have until June 30 to answer an online survey at surveymonkey.com/r/ BNSBFNG.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

June 22, 2017

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Update on City’s Response to Illicit Opioid Overdoses Last week at City Council and Community and Protective Services Committee, Mayor Jim Watson and Emergency & Protective Services General Manager and Chief Anthony Di Monte provided overviews on Ottawa’s efforts in addressing the ongoing issue of opioid misuse in the City. As Chair of Ottawa’s Board of Health, I would like to reiterate these efforts and provide my appreciation to all of the hardworking emergency services and public health employees who are working diligently each and every day in the prevention of overdoses. As mentioned by Mayor Watson, we need to work together as a community if we hope to end this public health crisis. Municipalities are increasingly engaged with federal and provincial governments on developing strategies on how best to resolve the issue. Community members must also play a significant role in talking about the issue with their loved ones who may be at risk. Our response must be multi-faceted as there is no single overnight solution to address illicit opioid use. A range of approaches must be utilized including education, communication, intervention, and remediation. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) leads a group of community partners called the Ottawa Overdose Prevention and Response Task Force that together, work to prevent overdoses in our communities. Members of the task force include Ottawa Public Health, Ottawa Paramedic Services, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Fire Services, OC Transpo, The Ottawa Hospital, The Royal Ottawa Hospital, Montfort Hospital, Queensway Carleton Hospital, The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services, The Office of the Regional Coroner, Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres, Respect Pharmacy, Champlain Local Health Integration Network, Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, Ottawa Carleton Pharmacist Association, Direction de santé publique, Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de l’Outaouais. One of the measures being taken to achieve this is providing education and resources regarding the administering of naloxone to the City’s emergency services including police services and all 45 Ottawa fire stations. While OPH and partners are working on the front lines with education, emergency services continue working behind the scenes in tackling the root of the problem in their fight to stop the production and importation of illicit street drugs. With the summer comes new risks but with your active engagement, Ottawa can be prepared. Ottawa Public Health is working with security companies and festival organizers to provide valuable “party safe” information to reduce the risk of accidental overdose. Additionally, over 100 local pharmacies are distributing free naloxone kits with information on how to administer should you find yourself in an at-risk situation this summer. I want to encourage all residents to have a safe and enjoyable summer but to remain conscientious of the risks at hand when potentially exposed to illicit drugs. Remember that anything can be laced with illicit fentanyl. For more information on naloxone and a list of participating pharmacies, I encourage you to visit stopoverdoseottawa.ca. New “Welcome to Stittsville Sign” and Flag Raising Ceremony I am happy to share that my office has been in coordination with the owners of the Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence and the Kavanagh family (owners of the former landmark Stittsville Flea Market) in presenting an exciting new contribution to the community taking place June 24th from 12:30-2:00 PM. A number of enhancements will be revealed in the unused green City space located at the intersection of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street– at no cost to taxpayers. These enhancements include the construction of a 40-foot flag pole to mark Canada’s 150th anniversary, and the installation of a new, bilingual Welcome to Stittsville sign. My office and the owners of the Hazeldean Gardens both felt that this was a great initiative to demonstrate Canadian pride particularly with this year’s sesquicentennial celebrations in full swing. I suggested that a Canadian flag integrated at the center of our community would be a welcome addition to Stitsville; this idea progressed when the developers offered to install the flag pole in the available green space. An RCMP officer will be present and BeaverTails Ottawa is supporting the event by providing free BeaverTail pastries to those in attendance. I would like to thank both the Hazeldean Gardens as well as the Kavanagh family for supporting these welcome contributions to our community. The Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence looks forward to their grand opening in 2018. I hope that many residents are available to make it out as we #flyourflag just in time for Canada Day! Please join us for this special occasion. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

In Richmond, many residents will be receiving letters about new street names within the village. The issues being addressed at the moment involve streets that are cut off by the Jock River. As many residents know, most of the streets in Richmond straddle the Jock but don’t cross the Jock. Since this could cause challenges for wayfinding and emergency services, the City will be adding cardinal directions to the ends of each street with the fewest number of addresses. For instance, there are more homes on the north end of Lennox Street than on the south end so only the southern portion will have the cardinal direction added to it. The new streets names include King Street North, Burke Street East, Cockburn Street South, Lennox Street South, Colonel Murray Street South, Maitland Street South, Ottawa Street West, Royal York Street West, Queen Charlotte Street North, Fowler Street South and Cambrian Road West. Letters to affected homeowners will be sent by the City of Ottawa. In fact, you may have already received these letters. While these street names present minor conflicts and can be corrected by simply adding a cardinal direction, some other streets still require full changes. Currently, the City is looking at renaming one section of Links Drive in Country Club Village. Those residents have received notification. Further on, the City will be getting in touch with residents on Hamilton Street in Richmond as well due to the conflict with Hamilton Avenue. If you have any questions on any of these, feel free to contact my office. Household Hazardous Waste Depot

After amalgamation, streets names across the City were changed or altered to alleviate duplication. While the most obvious duplicates were changed initially, the process to correct every duplication was onerous each one took up a considerable amount of time. As a result, the process was changed in 2015 in order to get through the backlog of addressing anomalies.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Just say no to all-night noise

ight rail is a positive for most people in the city. Fewer cars, faster commutes. Who could grumble? Yet there will be a few negatives. Some people will have to deal with noise from the occasional trains. The good news is the trains won’t run past anyone’s home all night. It’s a different story when it comes to maintenance yards. Those facilities will be active when the trains aren’t running – the middle of the night is perfect for cleaning and upkeep. Because of the potential for all-night racket, the city must do all it can to keep the noise down. And instead of building a yard and then trying to mitigate the noise coming from within, the city should ensure future yards are as far from residents’ homes as possible. That brings us to Moodie Drive in Nepean. The city’s preferred location for a future rail maintenance yard is east of Moodie, 232 metres from the nearest home in Crystal Beach. Yet there are two other sites – not “preferred” in part due to cost – west of Moodie, about five times as far from the nearest bedroom.

The extra $15-million cost of the more distant sites is due to the need for an overpass or underpass to get trains over or under Moodie Drive. That may seem a steep price to pay, but that overpass or underpass is going to be built when the next stage of light rail is extended to Kanata. That work could begin very soon after the first train rumbles to Moodie Drive. The $15 million will not be wasted, it just needs to be spent a little sooner so the maintenance yard is built where it makes sense. The additional bonus is that the sites distant from Crystal Beach will be side-by-side with the future rail line to Kanata. Trains will have an easy in-and-out, instead of in the city’s preferred option – a dead end yard further from the main line. Yes, we should be thankful that light rail will reach Moodie Drive by 2023. We should be thankful that the provincial and federal governments have pitched in funding to get it done. But we shouldn’t delay further funding if it means an all-night rail yard bangs and clangs next to a community because we built it in the wrong place.

When neighbourhoods become trendy, taxes go up

hat is happening to the Granite Curling Club of West Ottawa is part of a distressingly similar pattern in growing cities. The Westboro club’s property tax bill has tripled, posing an unexpected financial challenge to the club and its members. This isn’t the first time this has happened in Ottawa and it won’t be the last, unless some creative thought can be brought to bear on the issue. Imagine it. You’re minding our own business, operating in a neighbourhood where you’ve been for more than 50 years and all of a sudden the neighbourhood becomes hot. People have decided it’s the place to be. Businesses have decided they want to move there. (And, in the case of Westboro, the city has decided it wants to locate light rail stations there.) Then what happens? New houses are built. Old houses are torn down to

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town make room for bigger ones. Property values increase. Rents go up. Taxes go up, including yours. And what did you do to deserve this? Nothing. You just stayed where you were. For that, you and other oldtimers in the area are paying a higher price. Some of the old-time businesses will close, replaced by others whose owners have deeper pockets. Many of those will be chains, diminishing the local qualities of the neighbourhood. This has been happening in Westboro for some time. It is happening now in Hintonburg and will start happening somewhere else in the city any

minute now. Recognizing that it needs to be stopped is easier than figuring out ways to stop it. Taxes need to be fair. Fairness dictates that affluent areas have higher assessments than less prosperous ones. For example, it’s fair to tax those who profit by selling their properties in hot neighbourhoods. It is not unfair that those who fuel the fire by paying inflated prices for properties wind up paying higher property taxes. And it is probably not unfair to increase the assessment on those who put on massive additions and expand the city’s roster of hot tubs. But those who just stayed put and watched the neighbourhood boom around them? What did they do to deserve a tax hit? Still, it is difficult to conceive of a solution that favours long-timers over newcomers. You can’t have next-door

neighbours with radically different assessments, assuming that one isn’t radically overbuilt compared with the other. Maybe the only solution is a longterm one, an attack on the factors that make property values increase so dramatically (and which, incidentally, make affordable housing increasingly scarce). Some of those factors are built in to our economic system, the product of supply and demand. Not much we can do about them. But we can attack a large cause of the rise in property values — namely, speculation. In the more fevered centres of rising prices, attention is being paid to this. Ontario and British Columbia are taxing property purchases by non-residents. More could be done.

This new 40-foot flagpole has community is welcome to attend. It’s a flag-raising ceremony that will be tak- been installed thanks to a new private-public SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

partnership involving the developers of the new Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence, which is being built on the former Stittsville Flea Market site; the Kavanagh family, who owned and operated the former flea market; and the City of Ottawa. This partnership will be undertaking a number of enhancements to the area around the “Welcome to Stittsville” sign, all at no cost to taxpayers. The flag-raising ceremony will have an RCMP officer in red uniform in attendance, adding an iconic Canadian symbol to the event. But, that’s not all. Beavertails Ottawa is involved with the event and will be offering free Beavertail pastries to all those who attend. Yet another iconic Canadian symbol that will add a tasty treat to the event. In addition to this flag-raising ceremony, the event will also include the unveiling of a new

bilingual “Welcome to Stittsville” sign at this location. Remember, this flag-raising and sign unveiling ceremony is open to everyone. It’s bound to be a memorable occasion that everyone who attends will remember for a long time. It’s all happening not only just a week before Canada Day, but also during Canada’s 150th birthday year. This flagpole and refurbished sign are just two of the enhancements which will be happening at this green space around the “Welcome to Stittsville” sign. Other improvements — probably happening next year — will be the installation of a gazebo, benches and bocce ball, which is a game developed initially in Italy with similarities to lawn bowling. This is all being done through this three-part private-public partnership to transform the area around the sign into a friendly people place.

Goulbourn Middle School marks 50th anniversary Middle School sees a complete student changeover every three years. Trustee Scott said that the school community has been very resilient over the years and has adapted to all of the changes, thanking all those involved who contributed to making Goulbourn Middle School a good school over the years. Following the concert, those in attendance could take a trip down memory lane, touring the school and also enjoying cake and ice cream in the library. Touring the school, those at the open house saw the student recognition wall across from the school’s office area. There was a bulletin board which featured information about the former schools that existed historically not only in Goulbourn township but also in Huntley, March and Fitz-

LIMITED TIME ONLY

Goulbourn Middle School, then called Goulbourn Township Public School, opened in September 1967. Taplen Construction Ltd. was the general contractor, building both Glen Cairn Public School and Goulbourn Township Public School for the Goulbourn Township Public School Board at a cost of about $500,000. Both of these schools opened in September 1967. The firm of Balharrie and Helmer was the architect for both of these new schools. Members of the Goulbourn Town-

ship Public School Board at the time were A. Bert Argue, chair; John H. Dawson, vice-chair; Earl Graham, Keith R. Hobbs and James H. Lowe, trustees. Mrs. Joan Argue was the secretary-treasurer. The official opening of the new Goulbourn Township Public School happened on Tuesday, Nov. 21, 1967. After the singing of O Canada, there were some musical selections by the school choir under the direction of Mrs. Marian Crawford. See CHANGE IN GRADE, page 11

Change in grade structure, $1.3 million renovation in 1986 Continued from page 10

At the official opening, A. Bert Argue, chair of the board of trustees, recalled his first appearance before a crowd at school when he appeared in a concert at the one room eighth line school which he attended 50 years before. “The horses were tied around the school outside and lamps hung about the school for lighting,” Mr. Argue recalled as he pointed out the achievements and advancements which had happened in education in Goulbourn township as evidenced by the facilities offered in the new school. Mrs. Pearl Cassidy, the first principal, noted that it had been with mixed emotions that the former one-room schools with their enrolments from five to 25 students had been abandoned for this new school. But she said that these feelings had evaporated in September when the 233 students came together under one roof in the modern new school building. Albert Boyd, Carleton County warden, who spoke at the official opening, told about his school days when he drove more than three miles to school with a horse and was often on arrival so cold that he could not unhitch the horse.

“We have come a long way with buses now provided to pick students up at their gate and drop them off at the end of the day,” Mr. Boyd said. Guest speaker H.S. Barber revealed something of a crystal ball vision in his remarks at the official opening, noting that the computer had already made its presence felt in education and “will be more prominent in future education.” You have to wonder what he would think of today’s education and schools with all of their computer technology. Area superintendent I.G. Jones introduced the guest speaker. The dedication prayer was said by Rev. A.G. Brewer of St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond. It was in September 1986 that what had been Goulbourn Township Public School up until that time became Goulbourn Middle School, a totally intermediate-level school housing 479 Grade 6, 7 and 8 students. The school offered both English and Late French Immersion programs at the time. Winston Latourell was the school principal during this transition. Besides the change in grade structure, the school at that time had undergone a $1.3 million

renovation. Added to the school to accommodate the intermediate level students who would be attending was a 1500 square foot addition to the gymnasium to double its size. There was also a new section added at the rear of the school to house a science room, a music room, an industrial arts room and a family studies room. In spite of this additional space in the school, the school still retained two portable classrooms. It had four portable classrooms in place the previous year when it was still Goulbourn Township Public School. Enrolment at Goulbourn Middle School for the 2016-17 school year is 369 students in grades six, seven and eight. Current staff consists of 23

teachers, 4.5 educational assistants, 1.5 office staff, a part-time library technician, three custodians, a principal and a halftime vice-principal. The school operates on a balanced day schedule on a five-day cycle. It offers a regular English program with Core French, an Early French Immersion program, a Middle French Immersion program and two specialized programs (a General Learning Program and a Congregated Gifted Program). At present Goulbourn Middle School includes a double gym, two computer labs, a science and technology room, dedicated rooms for instrumental music and integrated arts and a library.

Visiting wartime battlefields without leaving Stittsville BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

It was a trip through some of the battle sites of the First and Second World Wars, all done without leaving Stittsville. Presenter Al Sangster used a video presentation with photos of the various locations including wartime action photographs to take those who had registered for this program at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on this journey through some of the significant battlefields of the world wars. He enhanced this video presentation with his own personal comments about the scenes on view, arising from his own experience taking a tour of these sites back in the spring of 2015. Among the sites which were part of this virtual tour given by Sangster on Tuesday, June 6 were the World War One battles of Ypres, Arras and Passchendaele and the Second World War battles of Normandy, Dieppe, Dunkirk and Juno Beach, among others. The Battle of Ypres in World War One involved the fighting

efforts of soldiers from a variety of Commonwealth countries including Canada, all of whom were lumped under the designation of “British” at that time. In the Ypres area, there is not only Passchendaele, site of a battle, but also wartime remnants such as the Essex Farm Cemetery and even a German ceremony. It was at the site of the present-day Essex Farm Cemetery where Col. John McCrae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields. The village of Passchendaele was virtually totally destroyed by the barrage of artillery which rained down on it in the war. The Battle of Passchendaele was fought in October and November 1917 with 16,000 Canadian deaths. Sangster explained about the Menin Gate which was completed in 1927 after the First World War. The names of almost 55,000 soldiers who died in the Ypres fighting have their names engraved on this Menin Gate. Every evening, a ceremony is held at the Menin Gate with any member of the public able to lay a wreath during the ceremony. This ceremony has

been held every day since 1927, although it was relocated to a military base in England during the Second World War. A number of war cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission were shown in the presentation. Included among these was Tyne Cot Cemetery just outside Ypres where 11,000 soldiers are buried, making it the largest of the Commonwealth war graves. The headstones in these cemeteries are all similar, bearing a national emblem, the rank, unit and name of the buried and the date of death and age, along with a religious symbol and an inscription provided by the family involved. He noted the precision in which the headstones are placed in these cemeteries so that they form straight lines in whichever way they are viewed. Sangster remarked on how young people today in Europe are exposed to these cemeteries and grow up knowing about the wartime sacrifices made by so many soldiers. He also explained that the difference between the headstones for World War One and

World War Two soldiers is that in the case of the World War Two headstones, just about every one of them has a name on it. This is not the base for World War One headstones, which just indicate that a soldier is buried at that spot. Sangster included the Vimy Ridge memorial in his visual tour of wartime battlefields. He also explained the Dunkirk invasion of 1940 which saw Allied soldiers having to be rescued from the beach by all sorts of boats from southern England, who then ferried the soldiers to waiting ships off shore. He also talked about the raid on Dieppe in August 1942. In addition, he explained the Normandy invasion in 1944 which involved Allied forces landing at five different beaches along an 80-kilometre long stretch of Normandy beach including Utah and Omaha beaches where the Americans landed, Gold beach where the British went ashore, Juno beach where Canadian troops landed and Sword beach where the British also landed. Sangster wound up his presentation with several photo-

graphs of scenes in Europe which were not related to wartime. This included a Windmill in the Netherlands which was used by Rembrandt as the model for one of his paintings, a park in Amsterdam and

buildings in Brussels in Belgium. At the end of the presentation, a Vimy commemorative pin was given away in a raffle draw, with Nancy Peppy as the winner.

OPH pleads with residents to ‘party safe’ this summer BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri says Ottawa Public Health is working with security companies and festival organizers “to provide valuable ‘party safe’ information to reduce the risk of accidental overdose” as North American communities continue to struggle with a surge in recent years of overdose deaths due to increased use of powerful opiod drugs. Qadri, who is chair of Ottawa Public Health, said the city’s overdose and prevention task force is calling on city residents “to party safely while celebrating throughout the summer festival season.” “The task force advises that overdoses, whether from drugs, alcohol or a combination of both, are preventable. There is also an increased risk of alcohol and drug-facilitated sexual assaults at large events,” Qadri said, adding that Ottawa sees more than 30 drug overdose

deaths every year, and the number of emergency department visits related to accidental drug overdoses nearly doubled from 2009 to 2015. According to OPH, in Ottawa in 2016, there was an average of 22 emergency department visits per week for life-threatening drug overdoses. While there have been some high profile opiod deaths in Ottawa recently, including in the Kanata area, the opiod crisis has reached epic proportions across the border in the United States. According to a New York Times article in the June 17-18 Intenational Weekly Edition of that newspaper, data compiled by the Times indicates that “drug overdose deaths in 2016 likely exceeded 59,000”, which the newspaper said is the largest annual increase from a previous year ever recorded in the United States. As well, the Times states that “drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death among

Americans under 50.” Ottawa’s overdose and prevention task force has issued the following tips for residents to stay safe: • Don’t mix drugs with other substances like alcohol. Using more than one drug at a time increases the risk of overdose. • Stay hydrated with water and take breaks from dancing to prevent dehydration and overheating. • Don’t accept drinks (even water) from people you don’t know – there is increased risk of alcohol and drug-facilitated sexual assaults at large festivals. Festival goers who choose to use drugs should: • Never use without others present. • Know the signs of an overdose and call 911. • Carry naloxone, a medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. • If you witness an overdose, call 911 immediately. Administer first aid and give naloxone if you can.

City plans to replace McBean Street bridge over Jock River SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The McBean Street bridge over the Jock River in Richmond is going to be replaced. The plan by the City of Ottawa is for construction of a new bridge to begin in the summer of 2018 with completion by the fall of 2019. One lane of traffic will be maintained during this reconstruction project. The lane will accommodate cars, fire trucks and school buses. However, tractor trailers will be rerouted. The current bridge was constructed in about 1955 with a recent investigation revealing that the structure does not meet current bridge design standards, resulting in a recommendation that the bridge be replaced with a new one. This new bridge will be built to current standards, improving safety for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. FOR SALE

FOR SALE

The new bridge will have a 75-year design life. Features of the new bridge will include a new segregated multi-use pathway on its east side which will have a barrier between the roadway and the pathway. This will not only improve safety, but will provide more space for cyclists and pedestrians. The sidewalk on the west side of the bridge will be widened to meet current city standards for sidewalks. The sidewalks on the bridge will be illuminated. The barriers of the new bridge will meet current crash test standards and the roadway of the bridge will be widened to meet current standards. The deck of the new bridge will be waterproofed and paved for enhanced durability. The preliminary design related to FOR SALE

FOR SALE

this new bridge is just about completed. Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2018 subject to budget approval.

In addition to the issue of leadership is the question of gender equality. Women are recognized as having a unique mindset and skillset that is critical to our advancement in society and sustainable economic growth. We can share many examples of women who are having a significant impact. However, the truth is women remain the minority in most board rooms and high level roles. Women entrepreneurs have less access to capital funding and less support in growing their ventures. And women in the workplace continue to be compensated less for the same work. So although we can identify many efforts to level the playing field, the main advocates for women are still women. And collectively, we need to do a better job. We need to say out loud that everyone; men and women, government and business, boomers and millennials are responsible for equality because it will benefit every aspect of our future. We need to be willing to embrace equity as a stepping stone to true equality. We need to acknowledge the unique role that women play in our families and communities and promote it as an invaluable advantage as it relates to economic prosperity and community building. We need to support women for the sake of supporting women until we can realize the full potential of equality. We are living in a world built on the foundation of inequality so we need a massive disruption of our current vision, culture and legislation. To what end? To becoming the best version of our community, our country and our world. This week has provided our association with countless opportunities to be inspired by women. Cheryl Jensen, President of Algonquin College, shared her approach to city building; asking more of ourselves, reaching out to work together and stepping up as leaders. Then we were invited to attend the launch of “The Entrepreneurship Commission,” a new initiative designed to support Canadian female entrepreneurs scale and grow their businesses. As a partner of this initiative, Shopify hosted a “real talk” panel to address some of the major barriers facing female entrepreneurs as well as share some of the programs being launched with the commission. Then we were invited to co-host the Ottawa’s inaugural Leadercast Women taking place this October 5, 2017 – mark your calendars. And finally, we have been blown away by the interest and support of our own launch of Ottawa Women Leaders. Our kick-off event called Women, Wine & Wisdom is designed to inspire greatness and create a conversation around women, leadership, life balance and legacy. Please check out our website or find us on Facebook for more details. Thank you to the men and women of this community willing to advance equality. We look forward to being a part of this disruption.

Over the last few months, our association has been looking for ways to advance leadership in our community by promoting development opportunities, connecting ideas, people and businesses and most importantly assessing our own role as a leader in our business community. Why? Leadership as a significant economic driver and a way to create true prosperity in our city and our country. The current gap in leadership globally puts us all at risk of not reaching our potential and not meeting our responsibilities as community and business leaders.

Max’s Big Ride passes through Stittsville SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Max’s Big Ride passed through Stittsville again this year but with a difference. Last year Max’s Big Ride, a nineday 600 kilometre ride on a cargo bike pedalled by his father Andrew Sedmihradsky, passed through Stittsville via the Trans Canada Trail on the first leg of the journey, headed from Ottawa to Hamilton. This year Max’s Big Ride passed along the same route but going in the opposite direction, namely toward Ottawa, on the last leg of the journey which this year had started in Hamilton on Sunday, June 4. So, instead of just having 30 kilometres completed with the rest still to go which was the case last year, this year Max and his dad Andrew had just 30 kilometres left on their journey, with 570 kilometres completed. One advantage was that this year

there was a tail wind most of the time whereas in the past two years, Andrew was peddling the cargo bike into a head wind. Again this year, six year old Max and his dad were supported during their trip by Max’s mom Kerri as well as by Andrew’s parents, Jean and Peter Sedmihradsky. They shadowed the route of the bike in vehicles. Indeed, they were waiting at Village Square Park in Stittsville at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 11 as Max, his 18 month old sister Isla and Andrew arrived there on the cargo bike, having travelled from Smiths Falls that day. The family all then enjoyed a lunch at a picnic table in the shade at Village Square Park before the ride continued on. While at Village Square Park, Max and Isla enjoyed some play time at the play structure and the miniature train there. The ride this year ended on Monday, June 12 on Parliament Hill after

a morning stop at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine to meet the researchers working to help find new treatments and a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and to learn about the Ottawa Muscle and Nerve Institute which will be opening at the Ottawa Hospital this fall. This is a new clinic dedicated to enhancing neuromuscular translational research, clinical trials, research and clinical care in the Ottawa area. Max’s Big Ride has, in its three years, raised over $125,000 to help find a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy which is what afflicts Max. This year Max’s Big Ride has partnered with the University of Toronto Mississauga on a new research project related to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Funding from Max’s Big Ride will help establish a graduate fellowship in the internationally recognized Gunning Group Lab at the University of Toronto Mississauga in which the fellowship recipient will evaluate the effectiveness of the group’s STAT3 inhibitors in animal models of Duchenne. The hope is that ways will be found not only to prevent the muscle atrophy that is characteristic of the disease but also to reverse existing damage, allowing those with the disease who are confined to a wheelchair to regain their mobility.

This year the first day of Max’s Big Ride was the inaugural “Ice Cream Ride” in which riders joined with Max and his father on the 25 kilometre ride from Hamilton to Burlington. Riders were rewarded with ice cream, lunch and a finisher’s ribbon, with all of the funds raised going to help find a cure

for Duchenne. After beginning in Hamilton and travelling to Toronto on Sunday, June 4, Max’s Big Ride travelled from Toronto to Oshawa on Monday, June 5; from Oshawa to Cobourg on Tuesday, June 6; See NEAR END, page 27

Ottawa is home for almost 60 neuromuscular scientists and physicians BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A tailwind is key to successfully pedalling 600 kilometres. Andrew Sedmihradsky and his six-year-old son Max received one from Mother Nature and a second from the University of Ottawa’s faculty of medicine after they travelled on their cargo bike from their home in Hamilton to Ottawa June 4 to 12. Their goal is to shine a spotlight on Duchenne, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, affecting about one in 3,600 boys. Max was born with the condition that is caused by genetic mutations that lead to progressive muscle weakness and degeneration, which can prove fatal. “When I found out about Duchenne, I’d never heard of it before, and I imagine a lot of other people are in the same boat,” Sedmihradsky said during a stop at the uOttawa faculty’s Roger Guindon Hall on Smyth Road on June 12, just before he and his son continued on to their final destination at Parliament Hill. With every kilometre of their annual ride, the pair

from Cobourg to Trenton on Wednesday, June 7; from Trenton to Napanee on Thursday, June 8; from Napanee to Brewers Mills on Friday, June 9; from Brewers Mills to Smiths Falls on Saturday, June 10; and from Smiths Falls to Stittsville and beyond on Sunday, June 11, finishing up on Parliament Hill on Monday, June 12. Max, in the past year, has been stable with no deterioration of his condition. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a progressive muscle-wasting disease that is now an incurable, fatal disease. Those born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are unable to produce a protein that protects muscle cells against normal wear and tear. The muscle cells accrue damage which often leads to death from heart or breathing problems in a person’s twenties. At Stittsville, Max, who is now in Grade 1, was reported as “happy, sad” that the trip was nearing its end as this year he rode in the cargo area of the bike for much of the time with his young sister Isla whom he kept entertained and who just loved being there, spending time with her big brother. Isla spent about half of the time on the trip riding in the cargo area of the bike with her brother Max.

hoped to raise awareness as well as funds for research, some of which is happening in Ottawa. In fact, Ottawa is the home base for almost 60 neuromuscular scientists and physicians, the largest group in Canada, and one of the largest in the world. And it is already home to the University of Ottawa’s Centre for Neuromuscular Disease, which formed in 1999. There are now plans to open a new Ottawa Hospital Neuromuscular Research Centre at the Civic campus by December 2017. The $1-million facility will be the only one of its kind in the country, bringing together neu-

romuscular specialists under one roof “for faster care, faster diagnosis,” said Dr. Jodi Warman Chardon, a neurologist and codirector of uOttawa’s Centre for Neuromuscular Disease. It will feature a diagnostic testing unit so that blood, skin and muscle samples can be taken from patients diagnosed with one of the more than 200 neuromuscular diseases “that affect the spinal cord out,” said Warman Chardon. These samples will be used in the lab to test different therapies and develop a cure and more rapid and accurate diagnostic ca-

Well, accordingly to the United Nations Press Release of December 7, 2016: The United Nations office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is pleased to announce that the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has proclaimed that International Asteroid Day will be observed globally on June 30 every year. Why you ask? International Asteroid Day will raise public awareness of the asteroid hazard… Hazard Indeed! Why are you reading this, you may ask… This is a legal matter - we are touching on International law. It works like this… The United Nations Space Experts want to spend lots of money to educate everyone on earth about the Asteroid hazard (and no doubt what you should do if you come face to face with a plummeting asteroid). Where does the money come from: Well from member states, like Canada! Where does Canada get the money? Well, from all of us, of course! International Asteroid Day - your tax dollars at work!

pabilities. Currently, animal samples are primarily used. From there, clinical trials can be developed and conducted at the new facility. It is also designed to link clinics and labs to help speed up the rate of discovery and improve patient outcomes. Meanwhile, Max is currently taking steroids and an experimental medication in an effort to slow down Duchenne. “At this point, barring a cure – which is what we want – he seems to be holding steady,” Sedmihradsky said. “He’s not deteriorating, which is a positive thing.”

Tyler Kerr Memorial Golf Tournament SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The Richmond Centennial Golf Club in Richmond was the scene for the sixth annual Tyler Kerr Memorial Golf Tournament Saturday, June 17. This year’s tournament proved to be an amazing success and is the first year it had a much more meaningful purpose than in the previous five years. Many of the golfers wore coloured T-shirts emblazoned with the monogram TK 14 in honour of Tyler Kerr who died at the age of 15 on Feb. 6, 2012 while playing in a minor hockey

game in Carp. Tyler was passionate about hockey, having played for the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association for ten years. In addition to hockey, he also played other sports such as soccer and football, always being very active. In his last fatal game, Tyler had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest which was later diagnosed as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/ cardiomyopathy (ARVC). This is why the focus of this annual tournament has changed. See TOURNAMENT, page 31

Tournament

Tyler’s family has taken the lead from the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association and with this year’s tournament and following tournaments, the tournament will be used as an opportunity to raise awareness about and to raise funds to donate toward research about ARVC, a genetic mutation which takes the lives of many young athletes across the world, just like it did with Tyler. Donations from the tournament will be made to both CHEO and the Ottawa Heart Institute. This year, with the tournament at its maximum capacity for the first

time, enough funds were raised that will allow the family to donate $3,000 to CHEO and $3,000 to the Ottawa Heart Institute in Tyler Kerr’s name. These funds will go toward ARVC research. ARVC is a disease of the heart muscle caused by a genetic condition. The heart muscle cells are replaced by scar tissue or fat, leading to disturbances where the normal passage of electrical impulses through the heart is interrupted or altered. These disturbances can cause life-threatening arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) and in some cases sudden cardiac death. The condition is usually progressive which means that it will get worse over time, especially during strenuous exercise like sports such as hockey. Tyler Kerr’s family would like to extend its immense gratitude and thanks to the amazing sponsors of the tournament as well as to everyone who donated so generously. Thanks from the family also go to the many participants and also to the volunteers who were all so essential in making this tournament such a success.

First-ever ‘Tall Tales’ contest at Stittsville Toastmasters Club BY MONIKA JAIN Special to the News

The Stittsville Toastmasters Club meeting on June 14 was an evening of fun, food and “unbelievable” tales. That’s because the club held its first-ever “Tall Tales” contest. The theme of the meeting was “nautical” which saw many members arrive with their pirate hats as well as their pirate tales. Richard Cook served as the contest chair, using his Boatswain’s Call to keep the evening under control. Two guests, Joanne Tapp and Alison Young, joined in for the evening, District 61 area director Valerie Drainville also attended, serving as the chief judge. Seven members entertained those at the meeting with their tales, participating in the contest. They all had to come up with an event that is unbelievable and to stretch the truth beyond reality. Carla Gajdecki told the tale of a teenage girl whose innocent party gets out of hand and par-

ents show up to witness chaos all over. Monika Jain, in her speech entitled “Who’s Laughing Now,” put an unbelievable spin on an incident where her husband was trying to teach her how to drive. Sandra Gloss’s speech “I Know Who Done It” told how flames engulfed the Parliament buildings and with her tale, she solved the mystery. Gina Cook arrived in her handmade Viking costume, telling a story sitting on a handcrafted wooden chair made by her husband Richard Cook. She told a tale of a dream when on a very hot day, she travelled back in time to the 10th century Viking landscape where it was quieter and 15 degrees cooler. Rick Holloway told a story about pirate treasurer at the mysterious Oak Island in Nova Scotia. Lori Holloway told how she received pirate pants and a vest from her uncle whom she suspected of having a treasure, particularly since there was a forbidden closet in his house. Gerry Tapp dressed up in a red-yellow cos-

It turned out that all of the politicians were on a ship. Those at the meeting enjoyed food and each other’s company while the judges deliberated regarding the winner of the Tall Tales contest. Gerry Tapp was declared the first place winner, with Monika Jain as the runner-up and Rick Holloway in third place.

‘Annie Jr.’ at A. Lorne Cassidy SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The story of Little Orphan Annie came alive in song and drama on stage at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville last week. This happened through the presentation of the musical Annie Jr., a version of the musical Annie specially edited to be performed by youngsters in a shortened version from the Broadway play itself. Annie Jr., just like the full-length musical, tells the story of 11-year-old Annie who is in an orphanage when the musical opens but

who is selected to spend Christmas with billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Annie goes on radio to try to find the parents who had left her at the orphanage. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appears in the play as well as Rooster, brother of Miss Hannigan, who runs the orphanage, and his girlfriend Lily who try to portray themselves as Annie’s parents to collect $50,000 put up by Warbucks to any couple who can prove that they are Annie’s parents. It all works out in the end. See ‘IT’S THE HARD KNOCK LIFE,’ page 34

Queensway Carleton Hospital

2017 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 40 years of care at Queensway Carleton Hospital

Room now more child-friendly SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

One of the examination rooms in the minor care area of the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s emergency department is now more child-friendly thanks to nurse Bri-Ann Nystedt of Stittsville. Bri-Ann decided to make a difference with the $150 which she received from the Royal Bank of Canada’s (RBC) Make 150 Count campaign by decorating the examination room with Disney-themed decals on the walls and making the room more childfriendly, resulting in a less threatening hospital experience for the youngster while also providing a distraction from any medical procedures such as stitches which might have to be done. In addition, a colleague of hers painted two ceiling tiles with a Minion and Lighting McQueen on them to further enhance the child-friendly atmosphere of the room. “When given the opportunity to spend $150 and make a difference in my community, I wanted my project to affect as many people as possible and to last for years to come,” BriAnn wrote in her submission for the $150 from RBC. Her thoughts turned to the pediatric population treated at the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s emergency Submitted department. “So many people come through Nurse Bri-Ann Nystedt of Stittsville is in a procedure room in the emergency department at the Queensway Carleton Hospital which she made more child friendly by adding familiar Disney characters to the wall there,” she explained. “Often coming to the emergency thanks to $150 which she received from the RBC’s “Make 150 Count” project. department can be scary for even our

adult population,” Bri-Ann added. “I wanted to create an environment where children who require a medical procedure can feel comfortable, surrounded by familiar Disney characters, and help make their experience a little more positive.” Hence, the child-friendly room for pediatric patients. And her idea has worked out. “Thus far I have received nothing but positive feedback about the use of the room helping to create a more pleasant experience for the pediatric population we serve in the emergency department,” Bri-Ann said. The Make 150 Count initiative by RBC is meant to celebrate Canada’s 150th by giving selected clients 25 years of age and under a sum of $150 with no strings attached, providing them with a chance to do good in their communities in some unique way. It is sort of like a national pay-it-forward social experiment. Bri-Ann, 24, was selected by her RBC banking adviser, who knew that she worked as a registered nurse and might have an opportunity to make a difference for patients with the funds. Participants in the program were either selected by their local RBC branches or from ideas submitted through social media at the hashtag #Make150Count. Overall, over 1,000 young people 25 years of age and under across Canada are being selected for this Make 150 Count campaign.

VOLUNTEERS BRING NEW “VIBE”TO ACE UNIT

REFLECTING ON A

ACING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY

LANDMARK YEAR

In November 2016, Queensway Carleton Hospital officially opened its new Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) unit to the community. The 34-bed ACE unit is only the second of its kind in Ontario, uniquely designed to provide patients with a calm, quiet and family-friendly environment. Natural light fills patient rooms, glare-free flooring, extra wide hallways and spacious dining and lounge rooms invite families to be participants in the healing process, sharing in daily walks, meals and quiet times.

40 years of care at Queensway Carleton Hospital 2017 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY It was a year filled with gratitude, as our Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) community celebrated 40 years serving West Ottawa and the surrounding region. It’s been 40 years of striving to provide the best possible care to our patients and our community. In many ways, this year marked a new chapter in our hospital’s journey, celebrating our past and planning for our future. In this Report to the Community, we want to share with you some of the hospital’s highlights that support providing you and your family with exemplary care. Together, we are committed to being your hospital of choice as we embark upon our next 40 years of care.

ENHANCED MENTAL HEALTH CARE AT QCH

INNOVATIVE NEW CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICE CONNECTS PATIENTS WITH RESOURCES Meet Payam Noshad, a Registered Nurse who supports Queensway Carleton Hospital’s new Crisis Intervention Service. Implemented in June 2016, the Crisis Intervention Service runs seven days a week, 12 hours per day, to provide faster and more effective care to patients in crisis in QCH’s Emergency Department. Over the past three years, mental health visits to QCH’s Emergency Department have increased 19%. As a specialized mental health crisis nurse, Payam’s role is to support patients and connect them to community mental health resources and follow-up care. The team helps patients avoid unnecessary admission to hospital and ensures that they have a plan in place before they leave QCH, providing a much needed sense of comfort. 38 Stittsville News - Thursday, June 22, 2017

“PATIENTS TELL US THAT THEY LEAVE QCH FEELING MORE HOPEFUL FOR FUTURE TREATMENT AND GRATEFUL FOR THE GIFT OF OUR TIME.” ~Payam Noshad, Registered Nurse The results of this new service have been tremendous; 99% of patients in need of our Crisis Intervention Service who have been discharged from the Emergency Department have left with community plans in place and the comfort of knowing what’s next.

To say it’s from an era gone by might be an understatement. A product of the late 1970s, Queensway Carleton Hospital’s Mental Health unit was not designed to support the optimal care of the thousands of patients our interdisciplinary mental health team cares for each year. As we have had to accommodate more patients, the unit simply fails to offer enough room for personal therapeutic interactions with the many professionals that support and care for them.

This past year we were proud to announce, with local MPP and Minister of Infrastructure, Bob Chiarelli and our committed donors that we have received approval to move forward with the total redevelopment and expansion of our mental health unit. The expansion and renovation is a giant leap forward in caring for our patients, fully transforming the current space into an environment designed for optimal healing and support.

“FROM HER FIRST MOMENTS ON THE UNIT,THE DIFFERENCE WAS CLEAR. THIS IS A UNIT THAT WAS BUILT TO INSPIRE WELLNESS AND GET [PATIENTS] BACK HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.” ~ACE patient family member

QCH is fortunate to benefit from the generosity of over 500 volunteers who give more than 44,000 hours of support to QCH each year. As QCH has grown, so too has our committed team of volunteers. And so, as our Acute Care of the Elderly unit welcomed its first patients this fall, QCH also launched its newest volunteer program, Volunteer Involvement Benefiting Elders or “VIBE” as they are happily known on the ACE unit. QCH’s VIBE volunteers focus on the small, every day interactions that help maintain a baseline of functional and cognitive stimulation for patients’ health and wellbeing. Patients are accompanied by VIBE volunteers to the dining room to socialize during meals and they remind patients of the importance of hand hygiene and hydration throughout their stay. Reading the morning paper together or sharing in an afternoon crossword puzzle helps to encourage cognitive stimulation. Like the ACE Unit’s physical construction, the VIBE program is designed with purpose, to support the care of our elderly in the best possible way as integral members of the ACE care team.

PRECIOUS MINUTES MATTER When every moment counts, the hospital’s new “Code OB” ensures that the clinical team is alerted to the possibility of an obstetrical emergency and is ready to act within minutes. In collaboration with the Canadian Medical Protective Association, a multidisciplinary team made up of physicians and clinicians from obstetrics, anesthesiology and nursing collaborated to dramatically drive down the time to delivery for obstetrical emergencies at QCH. The “Code OB” project far exceeded the team’s expectations – decreasing time to delivery in an obstetrical emergency by 50%, surpassing the team’s goal of 30%. With support from across the hospital, this project increased collaboration and ultimately improves the care of our tiniest patients and their families.

The ACE unit’s intentional design runs far deeper than its construction alone. QCH is proud to have a specialized, interdisciplinary care team specifically trained in elder care to meet the unique needs of our complex, aging patients. And just six months after opening its doors, preliminary results have truly been encouraging. Patients are requiring less time on the ACE unit than expected, returning to health and home sooner than anticipated. As the needs of our community change, QCH wants to be ready, and the ACE unit provides a solid foundation for care in the years to come.

Nana’s Hug Garden at Saunders Farm SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Nana’s Hug Garden becomes a new attraction at Saunders Farm at Munster this Sunday, June 25. That’s when this new feature at Saunders Farm, developed in memory of the late Anne Saunders, will be officially unveiled in an 11:30 a.m. ceremony. Nana’s Hug Garden is a hexagonal structure featuring garden swing chairs and flowers. The unveiling of the garden in honour of “Nana” Saunders, who died earlier this year, will be a highlight of a special “Celebrate Nana Saunders Day” being held at Saunders Farm at Munster this Sunday, June 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free for the day which will also featuring ongoing entertainment, stories, and music on the main stage throughout the afternoon, ongoing games all afternoon long, and the painting of a giant canvas with memories of Nana and Saunders Farm over the past 40 years.

In addition, visitors will also be able to tell their Nana/Anne/farm stories throughout the day on video, computer, or paper. These stories will be added to a book which Anne was working on about Saunders Farm. Throughout the day, there will be a photo and video projection ongoing in the Pavilion building featuring Nana’s life and legacy. While admission to this Nana Saunders Day at Saunders Farm will be free, those attending must sign up at https://www. eventbrite.ca/e/celebrating-nana-saunders-dayat-saunders-farm-tickets-34407700358. Saunders, who died on Jan. 19, 2017, taught kindergarten for 33 years with the Carleton Board of Education, helping nurture hundreds of youngsters. She co-wrote a series of reading books (e.g. Tracing Our Letters, Listening Letters, Laughing Letters, Magic Letters, Adventures with Mac, Working With Letters, Silver Steps, Golden Trails, Wing of Wonder, and Flights Afar) which

became the standard by which other children’s reading programs were evaluated. At Saunders Farm, Anne worked alongside thousands of young people who were often experiencing their first job. She touched their lives with her generosity, her kindness, her tough standards, and her always-present cookies. She prepared a generation to go out into the world and lead by

modelling the behaviour herself. She and her husband, Bill, built up Saunders Farm with the help of family and friends. Over one million visitors have visited Saunders Farm over the past 40 years. Nana leaves a legacy for generations to come of play, nature, fun, and connection. Her hubs, her toughness, her raised bar, her grounded nature, and her deep caring made her one-of-a-kind.

Stairwell Carollers fill church with music SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Stittsville United Church was filled with a variety of a cappella choral music on Saturday afternoon, June 17. It was a performance by the Stairwell Carollers of Ottawa who presented a concert Resonet in Laudibus to raise funds for the group’s 40th anniversary activities starting this fall. The group has set a goal of $15,000 to be raised by these special concerts to pay for its planned 40th anniversary activities including workshops and special events. This is in addition to the funds which the Stairwell Carollers donate annually to a variety of local charities and scholarships. Since 1997, a total of over $134,000 has been donated to such causes. Groups supported include the Alzheimer’s Society, Ottawa Immigrant Services, The Ottawa Mission, Harvest House Ministries, Bruce House, and the Shepherds of Good Hope. This June 17 concert offered a variety of music from Renaissance to present day. Indeed, the title song Resonet in Laudibus is an anonymous 14th century piece that Stairwell Carollers director and founder Pierre Massie transcribed from a recording. But the concert also featured Renaissance songs like Jubilate Deo, the Renaissance love song Come Again which was recorded by the modern day group Sting in 2006 and the mid1800 song Abendlied, among others. A total of 22 songs were presented in the concert. Donations were accepted in lieu of admission tickets to the concert. The Stairwell Carollers, an a cappella choir, was formed in 1977 by current director Pierre Massie. The choir has placed first in provincial choral competitions in both 2010 and 2013. The group has a repertoire which includes both sacred and secular songs from all eras. Current members of the Stairwell Carollers include sopranos Christina Dell, Erin Dempsey, Tobi Dumoulin, Annika Ericsson-Kidd, Denyse Mageau, Rae Payette, Kristina Roudiy and Andrea Walton; altos

School experiences help Sacred Heart student in career choice BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Sacred Heart Catholic High School Grade 11 student Emily Iob may want to have a businessrelated career and her school experiences this year have just reinforced this belief. Her co-op placement at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville, her involvement with a Junior Achievement project and her enrolment in the Specialist High Skills Major in business course at the school have all helped solidify her desire to be involved in the world of business in the future. Her co-op placement at the Gaia Java coffee shop gave her first-hand experience in a business environment. She says that having such handson experience is different than learning about business from the inside of a classroom. She has learned about many aspects of the business, from preparing and serving coffee and food to serving customers to doing inventory to marketing. Indeed, it became more than just a co-op placement for Emily as she was also offered a part-time job on weekends at the shop, meaning that she was there almost every day of the week. The only day that she was not at Gaia Java in this second semester from February to now was Wednesdays when she was involved with her Junior Achievement project. Junior Achievement is a program in which a group of high school students receive mentorship as they create and run a business. For Em-

ily and eight other students from various high schools, the project involved creating a business called Zen Balm in which they made and marketed homemade bath balms using such ingredients as olive oil, citric acid and epson salts. Such bath balms are used to colour and enhance bath water. The students receive mentorship from those knowledgeable about business, which in this case was three college/university students. Each student is given a role in the company and for Emily, her role was to be in charge of corporate social responsibility. This role led to a decision to direct 20 per cent of the company’s profits to Do It For Daron (DIFD) to help with its mental health work. The role also meant that Emily chose where the business should buy its ingredients, keeping the purchases local where possible. The business operated for five months with the value of its shares more than doubling as a result of its success. To enhance its support of mental health issues, the bath balms were sold with a bracelet with the message “# Not Alone” to remind those who might be facing mental health issues that they are not alone in their battle. Emily says that her Junior Achievement experience showed her communication is key in business and that people have to get along with each other to succeed. She said it is also important to have one person in charge, guiding everyone in the business. Emily says she would consider being involved

with the Junior Achievement program again in the coming school year when she is in Grade 12 if she could assume the role of a mentor with a group of students. All of this experience with her co-op placement and the Junior Achievement program has reinforced for Emily that she likes working with people and is definitely a “social person”. Being involved in human resources or sales in a business environment may be in her future. She acknowledges she is more of a hands-on learner which is why she is hoping to go to a college like Algonquin College in business administration. She took an accounting course in the first semester but now with her experiences in co-op and Junior Achievement, she has seen first-hand how it all applies, such as using a spreadsheet in business. She also appreciates her involvement with the Junior Achievement program, which provided her with a lot of contacts with whom she may network in the future. She noted the students all went into the Junior Achievement program as strangers, but they all came out of it as really close friends. Emily says taking the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) course in business is providing her with extra training in business since the course is geared to business, touching on such aspects as customer service and first aid. She will be continuing in the SHSM in business in the next school year as it is a two-year program,

available to students in grades 11 and 12. Besides her interest in business, Emily is an experienced rider, having taken up the sport when she was seven years old. She has competed in equestrian jumping events, competing in Trillium-level competitions. She also enjoys the social aspect of the equestrian world, noting that she has made many long-term friends through her riding.

SENIORS & NEWS Surviving electric storms in Renfrew despite Mother’s many fears

could sense Mother’s fear. She moved from the stove where she was working to take a quick glance out the window to the West Hill. I sat on the creton couch holding one of my favourite dolls, which helped the nervousness I felt because of Mother’s growing concern over what she saw beyond the river to the back reaches of the farm. Black clouds were coming closer, and thunder could be heard in the distance, like a heavy barrel being rolled across the kitchen floor. Even though it was the middle of the day, Mother lit two coal oil lamps and set them in the middle of the table. For some reason, she felt safer if the kitchen wasn’t so dark. There wasn’t much Mother feared. She could work among the livestock as well as someone born and raised on the farm, and often at night, when it was blistering hot, she would take a kitchen chair and sit outside on the back stoop, alone in the darkness. But an electric storm had her blood run cold. And one was coming, there was no doubt about it. She was sure it was just a matter of time until our old log house was struck by lightning and everything we owned would be burned to the ground, and unless we took extreme precautions, so would we. Fire and an electric storm, I knew, were the

Memories only real fears Mother had. And that day, the storm sweeping toward us had turned the sky black as pitch, and by the time it hit the barnyard, the rain was pelting down and you could scarcely see beyond the pump. Father, of course, was in the barns, and there he would stay. Not to escape the lightning, but the rain. Father had no fear of a storm, even though we once lost 11 cows when the big maple tree on the West Hill was struck by lightning. But that day was never far from Mother’s mind whenever a storm hit. Those of us in the house had to sit on chairs in the middle of the floor. No being near an outside wall or a window! It wasn’t unusual, if the storm seemed to be a real dilly, for Mother to hang a blanket in each of the two kitchen windows to shut out the storm, and she fully believed that by doing so, she could actually keep out the lightning. She also thought if we had something made of rubber in our hands, that too was a safeguard, and so there sat my sister Audrey, who thought it sheer nonsense, sitting inside the house with our feet stuck into two pairs of rubber boots! If we could get our hands on a rubber ball, so much the better. And if the phone rang off the wall, we were forbidden to go anywhere near it! And that day, our

number rang two or three times, and we just sat there and looked at it. Now, the storm was raging. Mother counted the seconds between the lightning flash and the clap of thunder, which she said was a sure way of telling how close it was. At that young age, I caught the fear of an electric storm from Mother. Hiding under the covers in my bed was no solution, because it was vital that I be downstairs in case we got hit. Of course, if a storm came in the middle of the night, we were all ordered out of our beds, and made to sit in the middle of the kitchen until it blew over. Father, of course, never moved a muscle, and slept through the most raging storms as if they were happening in some other country. But he would hear again from Mother how electric storms were much worse in Renfrew County than they were in New York City. Living beside the high buildings, she said, shielded her from the fierceness, but out in the country there was nothing to stop the roar of the thunder or the cracking of lightning. The storm was over almost as soon as it came, and all I could hear was the distant rumbling of the thunder, as it headed away from Northcote. The lamps were blown out, the windows opened to daylight, and Mother’s Rosary put back in her bedroom. We survived yet another raging electric storm in Northcote.
