eSight donations get man closer to his goal to see again Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
When Shawn Brown went to the eSight offices in Kanata for the first time, it was both incredible and painful. The 34-year-old Barrhaven man was born with oculocutaneous albinism and has limited vision. So when he first tried on the eSight eyewear, an electronic pair of glasses
that help zoom in on images, he was really seeing for the first time. “He was literally seeing the world for the first time in his life,” said his wife, Lissa Brown. Shawn thought he was just going for a quick meeting to look at something he’d found on Google, and didn’t realize he’d actually get to put on the device. See STITTSVILLE, page 6

Friends, family and neighbours gathered on the lawn of Jack Brown’s Stittsville home to greet and celebrate his having been granted a wish on behalf of the Make a Wish Foundation as part of the Tysen Lefebvre campaign to adopt 100 wishes. The wish granted to Jack Brown was the purchase and installation of a Electronic White Board in his home to help with his ongoing progress.

It was perfect timing for Tysen Lefebvre to reach the halfway point of his Mission to a Million campaign. The 15-year-old from Stittsville has a goal of granting 100 wishes over five years through Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. The goal
requires him raising a million dollars. He reached the halfway mark on April 29 - granting wishes 49 and 50. April 29 was also World Wish Day. The 50th wish also happened to be only a short drive from Tysen’s home. See STITTSVILLE, page 5

The Canoe the Carp River event, scheduled for Sunday, May 1, has been cancelled for the second year in a row. The water levels are too low near the launch area of Carp Road and Rivington Street to accommodate the 50 registered boats, said Janet Mason, chair of the Friends of the Carp River and one of the organizers. The cancellation is especially frustrating because the water levels are deep enough further along the river, said Mason, but there are no public launches available. “If we had a place where we could launch farther up the Carp River, up by March Road, we’d probably be fine,” she said. “We’re looking at finding better public access places in the future.” A tour of the Oakleigh Wetlands Restoration Project property at 1 p.m. will still be held for those who registered, but is not
open to the public, said Mason. Last year’s event was also cancelled due to low water levels. The event organizers – Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Friends of the Carp River and Trailhead Paddle Shack – scheduled this year’s paddle earlier in the year in the hopes of avoiding the same problem. “We said there’s got to be enough water in it at the beginning of May,” said Mason. “It’s frustrating.” It is unlikely the Canoe the Carp River will be rescheduled during 2016, she said. But the Friends of the Carp River is looking at the possibility of hosting a fall event with less emphasis on the paddling. “We are talking about running an event in the fall,” said Mason. “Paddling becomes an option for people and then we’d have other events in the village.” For more information, visit friendsofthecarpriver.com.

St. Laurent Boulevard Transit Improvements (Industrial to Smyth) Design and Environmental Assessment Study The Study The City of Ottawa has completed a Design and Environmental Assessment Study for intersection and transit facility improvements on St. Laurent Boulevard from north of Industrial Avenue to south of Smyth Road. The project has three main components: • Reconstructing and expanding the Innes / Industrial / St. Laurent intersection to accommodate additional turning lanes and new cycling facilities • Reconstructing and widening St. Laurent Boulevard, within the existing right-of-way, to include a bus-only lane and a raised cycle track in each direction. The existing travel lanes will be maintained • Minor improvements to the parking lot entrance near Elmvale Terminal The Process JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
Friends, family and neighbours gathered on the lawn of Jack Brown’s Stittsville home to greet and celebrate his having been granted a wish on behalf of the Make a Wish Foundation as part of the Tysen Lefebvre campaign to adopt 100 wishes.Jack Brown, centre, received an electronic whiteboard as his wish. Pictured are, Maureen Graham, left, who financially helped, Tysen Lefebvre, Susan Vuong, Jack’s mother, Jack Brown, and Jack’s father Greg Brown. wish.� Jack’s father Greg commented on Tysen’s post, saying the wish will help Jack thrive in the world. Jack didn’t know until about 50 people surprised him at his house in Stittsville that he would be receiving his wish that day. “They were very happy and grateful,� said Linda. “He’s a very smart little boy.�
Part of Jack’s wish was funded by Maureen Graham from Tony Graham Lexus Toyota. Two wish children in Eastern Ontario who had their wishes adopted by Tysen left on already-planned trips on April 29 as well. A nine-yearold girl left on a wish to go to Walt Disney World, and a three-year-old girl left on her wish, a Walt Disney Cruise.
The City of Ottawa intends to control Wild Parsnip in areas city-wide along rural and suburban roadsides. Spot spraying will continue throughout the summer months as needed within the City of Ottawa. The program will use Clearview Herbicide (PCP #29752, containing aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl) and Truvist (PCP #30920, containing aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron) under the Pest Control Products Act (Canada). Commencing on May 15, 2016 weather permitting, and ending October 15, 2016. The treatment area map and program details, including how to post “no spray � signage, may be accessed on ottawa.ca/en/residents/water-and-environment/plants-and-animals/wild-parsnip For further information, contact 3-1-1.
The project followed the requirements for a Schedule “C� project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared and documents the project rationale, the evaluation of design alternatives, the recommended plan, anticipated impacts and associated mitigation measures. The ESR will be available for a 30-day public review period from May 5, 2016 until June 6, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours: City of Ottawa City Hall Information Desk 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1

“And it actually worked out that Friday, April 29 is exactly two-and-a-half years from when he started his mission,� said Tysen’s mother, Linda Lefebvre. “He has a five-year plan, so it worked out perfectly that it was World Wish Day.� In the morning, he travelled to Centennial Public School to grant a wish to a 10-year-old girl named Ashley who wished to meet Elsa, a Disney princess. He went back to his own school, Sacred Heart High School then headed to grant the big 50th wish. It was a big surprise for six-year-old Jack Brown, the wish recipient. Jack has CHARGE syndrome, a pattern of birth defects that have given him physical challenges and made him non-verbal. Despite not speaking, Jack is very intelligent, and has even taught himself the Russian alphabet on the internet. He had wished for a SMART board – an interactive board that is often used in classrooms. It will help Jack to communicate, and serve as a form of entertainment. “Jack is very smart, he can’t talk or hear but he is great in math and he can read and write,� Tysen said on his Facebook page after he granted the wish. “I know this SMART board will get tons of use and I am so happy I was able to adopt his

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Let’s Talk 2 – Town Hall
Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in the Lets Talk 2 Town Hall event. With over 125 people in attendance, it was a great success and a great opportunity to be able to hear from the members of the Kanata-Carleton community. This lively event had an open discussion around the elements that residents of Kanata-Carleton want to see as the Government moves forward with implementing real change on the way all Canadians vote. Let’s Talk 3 Town Hall event will take place June 5th from 6-8pm, with a pre-event BBQ to take place from 5-6pm. This time the consultation discussion will involve the upcoming defence review. Federal Investment - Martello Technologies
This week I had the great opportunity on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development to announce that the Government of Canada, through FedDev Ontario, is investing up to $750,000 in Martello Technologies to support its growth and innovation. This is a terrific example of a Kanatabased, innovative start-up business that is poised for growth and success. By supporting dynamic small businesses and providing them with the support they need, we will help create jobs and economic prosperity for Canadian families. School Visits
Visiting students and youth in our community is one of the most rewarding activities I get to take part in. I had the chance to visit with All Saints and West Carleton High School. The level of engagement and depth of questions they had was impressive. These students have a bright future ahead! Youth Employment Strategy
As part of Budget 2016, the Government of Canada has committed to additional investments in the Youth Employment Strategy to create new green jobs for youth in the farm and agri-food sector, helping young Canadians gain valuable agriculture work experience, learn about farming and our environment as well as contribute to economic growth in the environmental sector. To find out more information on this program visit: http://goo.gl/pF7dW3 Advocating for Kanata-Carleton
Last week I had the opportunity to chat with the Honorable Bob Chiarelli, and this week I sat down with Mayor Jim Watson and his team. It was a great chance to discuss advancing timelines for critical infrastructure issues such as the LRT. I am so pleased to see clear indications of provincial and municipal support for our Riding.
Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Stittsville Lions donate $1,000 cheque Continued from page 1
“It was phenomenal, I was overwhelmed,” said the former Carp resident. “When I stepped outside, I could actually see a bird flying.” That was the incredible part. The painful part was the price tag. The device costs $19,500, and none of the cost is covered by insurance plans. “It’s the most amazing and painful thing at the same time,” he said. So it’s up to the Browns to fundraise for the cost of the device. He currently gets by with his iPad, and uses a special app to be able to film his son’s hockey games and then later zoom in to be able to see him play. The father of three would be able to be more involved in dance recitals and hockey games with eSight though, as the zoom and contrast options available will give him a near perfect view of what’s happening. He will also wear the glasses for work at the Ottawa Hospital. He was previously an orderly, but is currently doing a temporary job in housekeeping. The day after he tried on the device, he set up
a GoFundMe page that has raised $3,500; another $3,000 in donations have come in outside the GoFundMe. LIONS CLUB
With the help of the Stittsville Lions Club, Shawn is now $1,000 closer to his goal. The Lions made a $1,000 donation towards Shawn’s purchase at their April 27 meeting. He was presented with a large cheque after members saw a presentation about the device and what exactly it does. “It’s people like Lions clubs and legions who are giving that gift of sight,” said Tara Bradley, clinical specialist with eSight. Bradley and Tyler Moore, an eSight user himself, attended the Lions’ meeting on behalf of eSight’s Kanata office to explain the product. The glasses contain a pair of screens which display high quality video from a camera at the front of the glasses. The battery-powered eyewear can automatically adjust contrast, brightness and other settings to a user’s needs or preferences. Moore said he wears his set for eight to 10

For Shawn, he’ll be able to really see his wife and children’s faces clearly for the first time in his life. “It’s like waiting for Christmas to come,” he said. CARP FUNDRAISER
The fifth annual Spring Fling fundraiser at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club will also help Shawn with funding for the eyewear. “I’m so excited,” said Shawn, who graduated from West Carleton Secondary School and has lots
of family and friends still living in the area. “It’ll be a good time to go have fun.” The event takes place on Saturday, May 7, and features pub food, raffles and prizes, and musical entertainment by Gail Gavan, Ransom, Mike Ryan, Jeff and Jamie McMunn, the Triple Trouble Dancers, and Colt 45 DJ Colton Craig. The fundraiser will split the proceeds between Shawn and Jakob Ruest, a young boy with a rare condition called CDKL5. Shawn works with Jakob’s aunt at the hospital. CDKL5 (which stands for cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5) is a genetic disorder that causes seizures and dif-
ficulties breathing. The majority of those diagnosed with CDKL5 can’t talk, walk or feed themselves. Half the proceeds raised at the event will help Jakob’s family to purchase a special sleep activity monitor that helps caregivers maintain awareness of symptoms, according to the flyer for the event. The device also records data that could help research the condition. Tickets for the Spring Fling, sponsored by Wanda Clark of Clark Premiere Properties, are $20 and can be purchased by calling Clark at 613-223-3310. With files from Jessica Cunha

Autism Cutback Recently, the Ontario Government stopped funding for Intensive Behavioural Intervention (I.B.I.) treatment for children with autism when they reach the age of 5 years old. This is a devastating setback for families with children who have autism. I.B.I. treatment is the best and most effective treatment for autism. It has a permanent, positive effect on the ability of young minds to function at a higher level for the rest of a child’s life. However, the treatment must be applied early at a young age and it is very expensive- beyond the financial abilities of most families. This callous cut back will deny some children with autism the access to the I.B.I. treatment that they need. For this to happen to families and children who need help most is a great shame.

Joan and Don Moore accepted a room at the Central West Hospice in early October 2014 when a bed became available. The couple moved into the residence that would become their home for the next five weeks with a little trepidation, but from the moment they stepped through the doors they knew they made the right choice. “Don was home ... and I was taking care of him,” said Joan. “But it got to the point that we needed help.” The couple met more than five decades earlier following a dinner out with friends. After the bills were paid and it was time to head home, Joan’s friend offered her the back seat next to another fellow. Joan declined, opting to sit in front and she slid into the car next to Don. As the cliché goes, the rest is history. When you know, you know.The two had been married two months shy of 55 years when Don passed away on Nov. 15, 2014. Don was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006. He had

had spoken to us about getting him into hospice,” Joan said. “At first, he wasn’t very thrilled about that. Then one morning he woke up and said, ‘You know, if there’s a bed I think it’s time I go to hospice.’” Hospice palliative care aims to “reduce the burden on the health system from unnecessary hospitalization for palliative individuals,” said Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan. “Our mission is to accompany and support individuals and their families through their end-of-life journey by providing compassionate, high-quality care. All of our programs and services are provided at no charge to clients or their families.” Hospice Care Ottawa currently has 19 beds – nine at the May Court Hospice in Old Ottawa South and 10 at Central West Hospice located in the west end – that provide free around-the-clock nursing care for people in their last days and weeks of life. The beds located at Central West are a stop-gap until Hein House, the residential wing of the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata, is built. The goal is to get shovels in the ground on May 31, said Sullivan. The only problem is the project is in need of $600,000 by May 31. A $6-million fundraising campaign met its goal, but as the need continues to grow for

Start election system research now
T
he Liberal party made an election promise to change the way we vote, and the Trudeau government appears ready to keep that promise. Our current system – first-past-the-post – declares one winner per riding and ignores the other votes cast. It can leave supporters of the losing candidates wondering why they even bothered to vote. A new system will almost certainly incorporate some form of proportional representation. It could mean votes for those who don’t come first are still reflected in the House of Commons seats. Or maybe a two-part ballot would allow voters to first, pick a local MP, and second, vote for a party that would get seats in Parliament based on a percentage of votes received across the country. In any case, voters would be more engaged, knowing a vote for someone other than a landslide winner could still have an effect on election results. A positive sign is the public engagement already underway. Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon has already sent out a survey to her constituents and shared the results at a public meeting on April 26 that turned into a
free-wheeling discussion of the pros and cons of different voting systems, and the values voters want to see upheld in any new process. If our voting system is going to change, better that the grassroots – constituents from across the country – have their say, rather than a top down decision be put in place. Because the possibilities are so varied, every Canadian needs to do their own research about the voting systems in other countries, and the myriad hybrid systems that could be put in place in Canada for the federal election scheduled for the fall of 2019. Hopefully every MP – no matter party affiliation – taps their constituents to learn what they want in a new voting system. Those who might say such a change requires a federal referendum should remember the Liberal party just passed a litmus test; the party formed a strong majority government while promising to change firstpast-the-post voting. It’s fair that there would be concern that the governing party might create a new election system that would benefit them the most. But there is a clear pitfall for the Liberals if there is even a hint of that; voters would punish a party if there is even a whiff of fixing the system to keep the party in power.
More than one way to celebrate Ottawa 2017
I
n recent days, attention has been paid to two issues that have an unlikely connection. One of them is homelessness. A report has been released by the Alliance to End Homelessness that shows progress but also demonstrates how much more needs to be done. Homelessness has been a serious issue in the city for quite some time and it’s not that the city has not made an effort. The report shows, however, that more people, and more families, are using shelters and that more than 10,000 people are on waiting lists for affordable housing. The other issue is the city’s preparation for 2017, when Canada celebrates its 150th birthday. There will be many stories about the 150th and you could get a bit sick of it by the time the actual

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town year rolls around. The most recent story concerns the organization planning local celebrations, with some people complaining that it is being more secretive than it could be. With all the publicity ahead, as the days to 2017 dwindle down, we may look fondly back on the days of secrecy, but not for now. There will be lots of hype, lots of promotion, lots of money spent on creating attention for Ottawa’s part in the 150th and people would like to keep an eye on it, so that they can have a say. So here’s an example of hav-

ing a say. Instead of spending a ton of 2017 money on fireworks, mementoes, logos, cocktail parties, advertising campaigns, billboards, consultants, PR firms, poetry contests and official proclamations, why not aim for a project in 2017 that will do some lasting good? Such as, doing something dramatic, decisive and significant about homelessness in the city. Doesn’t that seem more interesting to you than more pointless pageantry, more corporate sponsored parties, more official perfumes, wines, pizzas and compact cars of the 150th birthday? Doing more about homelessness in Ottawa would include more shelters, to be sure, and probably more outreach workers. But it would also include more training and other assistance to young people, who form way too large a DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 5SBDJ $BNFSPO ADMINISTRATION: %POOB 5IFSJFO HOME BUILDERS ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST (FPGG )BNJMUPO DISPLAY ADVERTISING: (JTFMF (PEJO ,BOBUB 3BOEZ 0MNTUFBE 0UUBXB 8FTU $JOEZ (JMCFSU 0UUBXB 4PVUI $BSMZ .D(IJF 0UUBXB &BTU +JMM .BSUJO /FQFBO .JLF 4UPPEMFZ 4UJUUTWJMMF "OOJF %BWJT 0UUBXB 8FTU 3JDP $PSTJ "VUPNPUJWF $POTVMUBOU #MBJS ,JSLQBUSJDL 0SMFBOT CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: 4IBSPO 3VTTFMM

percentage of the homeless. And it goes without saying that the most important component of a 2017 attack on homelessness would be housing. Affordable housing has been shown to be the most effective weapon against homelessness, and the lack of affordable housing has been the greatest weakness in the city’s attempt to deal with it. Of course, homelessness is not only the city’s responsibility. The province, which funds many of the programs that affect the level of homelessness, could help us celebrate the birthday, too. The city should insist on it. Perhaps it will help that we have a mayor with friends at Queen’s Park. And don’t forget the private sector, which is already being counted upon to participate in celebrating 2017. Instead of funding 150th birthday parades, fashion shows and golf tournaments shouldn’t developers and homebuilders be happy to make their mark in a EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: +PIO $VSSZ KPIO DVSSZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: +PIO #SVNNFMM KPIO CSVNNFMM!NFUSPMBOE DPN
150th birthday triumph over homelessness? Face it, the city and the corporate sector are going to be spending lots of money anyway for 2017. All it will take is for that money to be spent where it will do some lasting good. The people of Ottawa wouldn’t mind missing out on a few fireworks.

hospice and respite beds, Sullivan said they decided to continue fundraising to build two additional rooms. “This city could use 60 hos-
pice beds and we only have 19,” she said, adding the government provides no funding for capital costs. The average wait for a bed is three days but there are times when rooms are full
and people have to be turned away, said Sullivan. “We want to make sure we’re building a place where we can provide the best services. We’re spending money on an expense like this; we

decided we’d like to build two extra rooms,” she said. “It’s much more cost-effective to add them now.” The number of people using residential hospice care continues to climb: 357 clients used the service in 2015-16, while the previous year saw 290 individuals stay in residence. “Most people would prefer to die at home but that isn’t always possible,” said Sullivan. “Hospice provides a homelike setting – families stay overnight, cook their own food but their loved one also receives 24-hour care.” Which is why the organization hopes donors will step forward to help finish funding Hein House. Jeannot Rodrigue spent four days in the residence at the May Court Hospice with his wife Mimsie by his side. He died in June 2014. “They have just been such a compassionate understanding presence in the community,” said Mimsie, who lives in Old Ottawa South where the May
Court is located. “He was treated with such respect and dignity.” Jeannot attended a number of the day programs, and after his passing, Mimsie used the grief counselling service for those whose loved ones have died. “They do anything to help you – practical problems with care, or the psychological counselling,” Mimsie said. “When you’re healthy and well, you’re just not aware of the different services out there. We were certainly plugged in at the right time – both for my health and for his.” It was a similar experience for Joan and Don at Central West. “This wonderful facility took over the heavy care of my loved one, which allowed us to spend more quality time together and with family,” said Joan. Instead of worrying about her husband’s care, his medications and all the other details, Joan was able to just spend time with Don as his
wife. The hospice also followed up with her following Don’s death. “Hospice called me and said they were having a spousal (support) group,” said Joan. “I’m not usually like that, I would never go to a group. But I was having a hard time … I thought ‘I’m going to go.’ There were nine of us – seven ladies and two men. It was the best thing I ever did. I could let my hair down. One of the ladies I met there, we still keep in touch.” The need for Hein House, for more beds, is huge, she said. “We need more, more, more hospice beds for sure. Hospitals do a marvellous job but they don’t have the same time to be able to spend (by the bedside). “In hospice if you need the care, someone just to sit and chat, they’re there. It’s like a family atmosphere. You chat with other people in the lunch room. It’s a very gentle atmosphere for end-of-life care.”

Martello Technologies president and CEO Bruce Linton, left, speaks on April 28 after Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon, right, anounced the federal government is giving the Kanata-based digital-communcations-monitoring company $750,000 in funding to further develop their software product and get it into more markets around the world.
MP announces $750,000 in funding for tech company Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Kanata-based Martello Technologies welcomed Kanata-Carleton’s MP to their local headquarters on April 28 where she announced $750,000 in federal funding for the company. “Martello Technologies is a terrific example of a Kanata-based, innovative start-up business that is poised for growth and success,” said MP Karen McCrimmon. The money, given through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, is meant to aid Martello in accelerating the development of its MarWatch system. The system monitors, tracks and analyzes the performance of a company’s digital communications systems. The product is intended to show what could be causing poor connectivity resulting in, for example, a drop in sound quality during conference calls. The software aids tech support in identifying the problem and fixing it. This is increasingly important as digital communications systems are more complicated than phone line connections, said president and CEO of Martello, Bruce Linton. Founded in 2009, Martello’s employee numbers have grown significantly, as has their list of buyers, said Linton. The government funding was given based on several factors, including evidence of investment from other sources, the opportunity to create jobs, sales and diversify markets, and the company must own the rights to the intellectual property being used in their project, said FedDev Ontario’s investment guidelines. McCrimmon said the federal government aims to make Canada a “centre for global innovation,” adding that Kanata is a leader in that field.

Richmond gains new family doctor at Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre Submitted
Dr. Heather McGee grew up in Barrhaven, and is very excited to establish her family medicine practice nearby in Richmond. She completed her undergraduate and medical education at the University of Ottawa, and graduated from the Family Medicine program. She went on to
pursue her passion for obstetrical and newborn care with a fellowship in enhanced maternity skills at the University of Ottawa. Since completing her training, McGee has worked around the Ottawa Valley as a family physician covering practices of other doctors during their absences. She also works at the Queensway Carleton Hos-
pital with the family practice obstetrics group where she delivers babies. In addition to her general family medicine practice, McGee is looking forward to offering comprehensive obstetrical and newborn care for any patients of the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Centre, as well as on a referral basis for those from outside clinics.
McGee’s other interests include pediatric care, health and nutrition, and medical education. She also performs office procedures including biopsies, joint injections and IUD insertions. Outside of work, McGee stays active with yoga and cycling, and relaxes by playing the piano and creating new recipes to bake.
McGee is passionate about working with her patients toward health and wellness at all ages and stages of life. She looks forward to getting to know you as she grows her practice in Richmond. Anyone in need of obstetrical care can ask their family physician to send a referral by fax to RGMC at 613-838-2152

Goulbourn Middle School presents ‘The Saga of Sneaky Fitch’ John Brummell john.brummell@metroland.com
The students and parents of Goulbourn Middle School filled the school gym for three performances of a play entitled ‘The Saga of Sneaky Fitch’. Twenty nine students, dressed in period attire against the backdrop of a typical western town, performed various characters during the colorful ninety minute performance. The play was set in the town of Gopher Gulch. Gopher Gulch is described as a typical old fashioned Wild West Town of folklore and myth filled with lovable characters and a healthy respect for the code of the west. The code, being performed in the play, is also practiced by the students and staff of Goulbourn Middle School and entails such words to live by as, respect yourself and others, be fair in all your dealings and a person’s success is measured by the fond memories they leave in the minds of good
people. The story centers around the one corrupting bit of reality, the one man who was poisoning the whole town: Sneaky Fitch. Throughout the performance the audience appeared to be very caught up in the story as Elle Spencer, who played Sneaky Fitch, carried the main performance from beginning to end. Along the way she interacted with many of the main cast of characters such as ‘Doc Burch’, played by Keira Conlin, ‘Rackham’, played by Aiden Miller and ‘Sheriff Jack’ played by Adam Kulla. Through out the play, Sneaky Fitch, described as “the disreputable old coward” manages to shoot two town sheriffs and the town feels relieved when Doc Burch gives Sneaky a potent sleeping medicine, to help an apparent ailment, but his action unfortunately gives him and everyone in town the impression that Sneaky has died. The celebrations would soon
come to an abrupt end though when, at his burial, Sneaky wakes up and is very much alive. Continuing on with his old tricks he adds some new ones as he stomps all over the code of the west when he institutes taxation for everyone in town and names himself the new town sheriff. But it appears that maybe the near death experience for Sneaky began to have an effect on his ways of thinking because in the end, the two sheriffs come back on the scene, somewhat recovered from their gunfight wounds which resulted from their earlier show down with Sneaky. Being faced with having to deal with the two sheriffs at the same time, Sneaky wisely decides it’s time to move on. In the end the town folks find that due to a couple of twists and turns, everybody gets just what’s coming to them and they learn a few handy lessons in the bargain.

Voters get first taste of election system debate Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com
The Liberal party pledged to change our voting system in time for the 2019 federal election, and the party appears keen to keep that promise. Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon has already tapped her constituents for ideas, sending out a survey in the mail asking what values voters want to see upheld in a new voting system. Canada currently uses a first-past-the-post system that elects the top vote-getter in each of the 338 federal ridings. In November’s election, only 131 of 338 candidates received a majority of votes in their riding. The Liberal party got a majority in the House of Commons with 39.5 per cent of the national vote. “We’re one of only three of the 20 most advanced countries to use first-past-the-post,” McCrimmon said at an open house on April 26 in Kanata. The other countries are the United States and the United Kingdom. The other 17 nations use a mix of systems intended to reflect the overall vote, and Canadians can expect some kind of shift in that direction before the federal election scheduled for the fall of 2019. “I truly believe we need a change,” McCrimmon said. “I don’t want first-past-the-post. Just about anything would be better than first-past-the-post.” By a show of hands, more than two-thirds of the 125 people at the meeting agreed change is needed. McCrimmon said Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. elect governments “that go from one extreme to the other,” while in Germany and the Scandinavian countries, the distribution of seats produces negotiation and co-operation. “They put all their energy into going forward,” she said, “and we waste energy going from right to left.” PAST LEGISLATION
McCrimmon didn’t come
right out and say it, but it won’t be a surprise if the Liberals undo the election spending changes put in place by the former Conservative government. The number one preference checked off on McCrimmon’s householder survey, and picked by the people at the meeting, was reducing election spending. She said a solution “may be as simple as rescinding the (Fair Elections Act)” put in place by the Harper government. SURVEY RESULTS
Results of McCrimmon’s mailed survey of her constituents was shared at the meeting. The survey provided people the chance to check off values they want to see incorporated in a new electoral system. Respondents could check off as many boxes as they
wished. The process was unscientific and no direct correlation with the entire electorate can be drawn from them, but McCrimmon was able to employ them as a starting point for conversation. The results were: • Decrease election spending: 71 check marks • A system that encourages and rewards cooperation and collaboration: 65 • Direct representation: one MP to one riding: 57 • An element of proportional representation by political party common vote: 51 • Easy to understand and quick results: 51 • Provide independent candidates an opportunity to earn a seat: 50 • Includes an element of direct democracy: recall/plebiscite/citizen generated motions: 49
• Reduce the power of political parties: 47 • A system that has a higher chance of creating coalition governments: 41 • A system that has a higher chance of creating majority governments: 22 • Regional representation: multiple MPs to a region: 17 • Increase the power of political parties: 8 • An element of proportional representation by gender: 8 • Increase election spending: 0 During the April 26 meeting, attendees were asked to add stickers to boards bearing each value, providing a different snapshot. The top choices in order of preference were: • A system that encourages and rewards cooperation and collaboration. • An element of proportional representation by political party common vote. • Includes an element of direct democracy: recall/plebiscite/citizen generated motions. • A system that has a higher chance of creating coalition governments. • Direct representation: one MP to one riding.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
May 3rd 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Hello residents The Annual Stittsville Appreciation Awards are quickly approaching and I would like to sincerely invite all residents to join me on this momentous occasion. For the past eight years, The Stittsville Appreciation Awards celebrate remarkable community builders and the spirit of volunteerism. This is the ceremony’s eighth year in its current incarnation. The model is a revival of the original Goulbourn Appreciation Awards (GAAs) which functioned from 1990-2002. The longstanding tradition of the awards which still remains to this day is the Roger Griffiths Memorial Award which has been active since the GAA’s inauguration. The award honours the life and achievements of an outstanding member of the Goulbourn community, Roger Griffiths. Roger served as a Goulbourn Township Councillor from 1977 to 1978 and again from 1982 to 1988. As President of the Stittsville Legion for five terms, Roger received many awards, including the Meritorious Service Medal, The Golden Anniversary Medal and The Diamond Jubilee Medal. He was a valued member of the Stittsville Volunteer Fire Department until his retirement, as Captain, in 1978. He played a key role in the creation of the Stittsville Cenotaph and was a member of the Masonic Lodge. Roger found the time to coach many minor hockey teams and serve as an executive with the Stittsville 56ers senior softball team. He enjoyed singing in the choir at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and playing Santa Claus for the Stittsville Sunshine Club. In the way he lived, Roger Griffiths exemplified community spirit. This is the same spirit I wanted to revive with the awards ceremony. There are wonderful examples everywhere in the community that remind me of Mr. Griffiths. This is why the awards were expanded to include Youth Citizen of the Year (1999), Senior Citizen of the Year (2001), and Business of the Year (2001) which all remain active to date. Some examples of this spirit can be seen in last year’s winners: Cathy Skinner with the Roger Griffiths award, Robin Derrick with the Senior of the Year, Namintha Abraham for Youth of the Year, and Brown’s Independent Grocer for Business of the Year. This year, my office received 35 nominations split amongst the 4 categories. It is a privilege to have so many dedicated members of our community serve as examples for us all, along with residents who have taken the time to express their appreciation by nominating a deserving individual. I hope to see many of you in attendance at the Goulbourn Recreation Center on May 10 from 7:00 – 9:00 PM to honour the many contributions these individuals and businesses have made in enhancing the quality of life for everyone in the Stittsville community. As your Councillor, I am always interested in hearing about community spirit and events you may witness in the area. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any kindness deserving of recognition. And if you are interested in attending this year’s Awards, please RSVP by email to Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. Tree Stump Removal There are planned stump removal activities in Stittsville scheduled to occur between September and November 2016. Forestry Services will only be removing stumps in locations where the tree was removed between July 31 to December 31, 2015. Please note that Forestry Services only reinstates with top soil and seed and does not reinstate landscaping components found on the road right of way. Stumping is required to maintain safety and aesthetics for site reinstatement. The lawn has been reinstated with topsoil and grass seed in the affected area. You can help grow a healthy lawn by watering the grass seed. During the first few weeks, keep the seeded area moist but not saturated with water. Frequent light watering is preferred, especially on hot, sunny days. After 4-6 weeks the seeded area can be treated as you would the rest of your lawn. For more information on the City’s Forestry programs, visit: ottawa. ca/forestry or call 3-1-1. 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. Stittsville News - Thursday, May 5, 2016 23

Pickup collides with post after highway rollover in Kanata
Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters
If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
A 23-year-old man has been sent to hospital in serious condition after he rolled his pickup truck in a single-vehicle collision along Highway 417 in Kanata on May 2. The man was travelling westbound a little after 9:30 a.m. when the vehicle left the highway, entered the median near the Canadian Tire Centre, and hit a culvert, said Sgt. Daril Holmes with the Ontario Provincial Police, who continues to investigate the crash. The cause of the crash have yet to be determined. The culvert caused the truck to roll several times, Holmes said. Communications person for Ottawa paramedics, JP Trottier, said the truck struck a post at some point, and that the 23-year-old was then ejected from the vehicle. Holmes said whether he was ejected is yet to be determined. “I was told by a witness that when they went to render first aid that he was in a seated position outside of the pickup truck,” said Holmes. “Now, does that mean he was ejected? I don’t know for sure.” The truck came to a stop upside down, and the driver sustained fractures to an arm, a leg, and possibly his ribs, said Trottier. Paramedics felt he may also have a chest injury and that he might have sustained other internal injuries as well. He was conscious and communicative with responders, and was sent to hospital in serious condition, said Trottier. Ottawa fire services advised drivers to find alternative routes past the accident.
My husband and I are separating after three years of marriage. The home we have lived in was mine prior to our marriage and it remains in my name alone. There is significant equity in the home. I understand that our assets will generally be divided equally, but does he have any claim on the equity in the home? It is important to understand the treatment of the matrimonial home upon a marriage breakdown. A matrimonial home is defined as “a property that…was at the time of separation ordinarily occupied by the person and his or her spouse as their family residence…” Therefore, in this case, your home is the matrimonial home for legal purposes. Upon the breakdown of the marriage, the Family Law Act provides that the parties calculate the net value of their respective assets at the time of marriage and at the time of the breakdown of the marriage, and then equalize the assets that were accumulated during the marriage. One key exception to the calculation of net assets is, in fact, the matrimonial home – if one party brought it into the marriage, he or she does not get to claim it as their own asset for the purposes of equalization.

Will MacEwen
Prior to returning to Ontario and joining Allan Snelling LLP, Will was the managing partner of a full service law firm on Vancouver Island. He is experienced in family law, commercial and real estate matters, and all matters relating to wills and estates. His practice has been serving the legal needs of business owners and professionals.
Many people consider this to be generally unfair. If a party owned an investment account, only the increase in its value would be subject to equalization. However, in the case of a matrimonial home, the legal presumption is that the equity in the property is to be divided evenly between the parties. There are ways that parties can safeguard themselves in your situation. One way is through a prenuptial contract, and another is by selling the house prior to separation. There are situations in which you can argue for an unequal distribution of assets – those depend very specifically on the facts of each case. A family lawyer would be able to advise you of your chances of advancing a claim for an unequal distribution in your favour.

Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club members look forward to season launch The members of Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club are looking forward to the start of the new season in early June and invite you to visit the club. The open day this year will be June 4 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. You will find us on Huntley Road next to the Goulbourn Municipal building. For those who are willing to come and participate flat, smooth soled shoes are needed and comfortable clothing because really as well as playing you are getting great exercise. If you cannot join us that day you can always come on the days we bowl which are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This year is a special year for the club. The club president George Burns-Nichol has been actively rais-
ing funds within the club and from within the community. The sum of money the club raised was matched by the city and this season the members will be playing on their newly extended green. The game of lawn bowling is played all over the world and if you have ever watched it you will see it is a game of skill, just like curling. In the 2014 Commonwealth Games held in Scotland a Canadian reached the final of the mens’
The Goulbourn Hornets junior basketball team competed in the AAA/AA division of the IEM Tournament north of Toronto on the weekend of April 2224. They opened the tournament on Friday night against the IEM Aurora team that would prove no match for the Hornets, who shook off some early rust to win comfortably 72-36. The first opponent on Saturday morning was the North Toronto Huskies, who provided a much more difficult challenge. The game was very competitive for the first quarter, but the Huskies opened up a double digit lead in the second quarter and eventually used their size advantage and good shooting to defeat Goulbourn 82-56. Next up were the Northern Kings, who were athletic and would prove to be a good test. The Kings held a 17-14 lead after the first quarter and extended the lead to twelve points at halftime following some Goulbourn defensive lapses to end the half. The second half did not start well for the Hornets, but they eventually found their shooting rhythm and played solid defence to close the gap to 8 points entering the third quarter. The Hornets entered the fourth quarter with momentum and the
belief that they could still win the game. They had a big comeback and secured a 72-66 win. Goulbourn faced the IEM Newmarket Spartans on Sunday morning, with the winner advancing to the tournament final that afternoon against North Toronto. The Spartans represented a tough challenge, as they had taken the Huskies to overtime in a close loss on Saturday. The first half was very close, with the Hornets leading by four at halftime. The lead was extended in the third quarter and the Hornets eventually prevailed 65-54 thanks to their best defensive effort of the tournament and the ability to break the Spartans press. The rematch with North Toronto started very differently than the game the day before, with the Hornets racing out to a 20-9 lead. The momentum then shifted as the Huskies shooting heated up as the Hornets started to struggle. North Toronto led 36-26 at half and by 11 points after an even third quarter. The Hornets again showed character to bring the game within 5 points in the final two minutes, but ultimately fell to the Huskies by a score of 66-57. Nonetheless, Goulbourn showed great determination in facing some adversity and came away with silver medals.
friendly club and any competitions held by the club are very quickly filled. Some people come from as far as Deep River for the day to play as well as Almonte, Arnprior, Elmdale, Brockville and Nepean.
The club looks forward to welcoming all new members. The cost for the first season is $75. For more information, please contact Garry Ross at 613-435-5233 or email garryross8@gmail.com.

Adoption of Gaelic football in Ottawa ‘magic’ says Irish coach Adam Kveton Adam.Kveton@metroland.com
Take a bit of soccer, volleyball, a dash of basketball and rugby and roll it out on a grass field and you’ve got something close to Gaelic football. Ireland’s most popular sport is gaining traction in Ottawa where the Ottawa Gaelic Football Club has been running a youth program for three years with a particular focus on teaching it in schools. The club’s youth development officer and Kanata resident Noel McGinnity attributes the game’s success with both kids and teachers to the wide range of skills that come into play. The game combines aspects of soccer, basketball, football and volleyball and is played on a grass field. Players carry what looks and feels like a heavy volleyball four

steps before passing it with a palm bump or kick as both teams of up to 15 players try to score points by passing the ball through a goal or a set of uprights. Because the game includes passing and scoring skills typical in many different sports, a volleyball player and a football player for instance would both have skills that transfer to Gaelic football. Many of those are the fundamental skills phys-ed seeks to teach, said Georges Vanier Catholic School principal, Heather McPhee, and with Gaelic football you get them all in one game. “That’s the great thing about Gaelic football,” she said. The school hosted McGinnity and a fellow Gaelic football coach direct from Ireland, Angie Stevenson, on April 18. Though most students have never heard of Gaelic football before, many quickly
become excited, passionate players of the game who pick it up quickly and are eager for more, said Stevenson. That reaction from students is causing a surge of interest in the Ottawa Gaels youth program, which has more than 100 young athletes in Kanata, Almonte, Ottawa West and Riverside South. “It’s just magic,” said Stevenson, who rarely gets to teach Gaelic football outside Ireland. “We don’t get as much reaction as what we’re getting here. This is insane.” Outside of the Gaels program, schools have integrated the sport into phys-ed curriculums and are holding tournaments, said McGinnity. Regardless, McPhee, Georges Vanier’s principal, said that the school is planning on teaching Gaelic football in its phys-ed curriculum next year and including it in intramurals.

Not your regular gym class Kanata school gives students choice to focus on one sport A smattering of baseball, a week or two of soccer, some badminton, track and maybe some square dancing – these are some of the sports you might be taught in a regular physical education course in high school. But Maurice-Lapointe secondary school in Bridlewood is offering students a new choice with a Physical Activity and Health program (Activité Physique et Santé or APS). Instead of learning and playing many sports for short periods of time, the new program gives students in grades 9 to 12 the ability to focus on a single sport for an entire academic year. The program, now in its second year, currently offers volleyball and hockey concentrations, but school administrators hope to add basketball and soccer next year. The school is also able to
accommodate elite athletes who train at a high level in other sports. They currently have individual athletes training in swimming, tennis and figure skating, said Daniel Bottiglia, the program’s co-ordinator. This is done by allowing these students to take part in online correspondence classes. The program grew out of a need to provide greater physical education opportunities to Franco-Ontarian students in the city’s west end, said vice-principal Iftin Osman. The program involves students taking regular classes in the morning and then a study period followed by a sports class in the afternoon. For the hockey focus program, for example, students are on the ice twice a week, and in the classroom for the rest learning sports theory, workouts with Greco Fitness
in Stittsville and classes on nutrition. Guest speakers such as post secondary sports recruiters, elite athletes and others are also arranged. The idea is to keep more kids active and out from behind a screen for longer, said Osman. “We live in Kanata, it’s all about technology,” he said. Indeed, the school already has an aviation and aerospace program for the tech side of things. But this program is meant to give athletically driven students a more balanced lifestyle. To be permitted to take advantage of the program students must maintain a minimum 70 per cent grade average, and have certain requirements for conduct. The idea is to show students “how to be professionals in their own sport,” said

Osman. It appears to be working, said Christine Carson, a mom with two teens in the APS program – one in volleyball and the other in hockey. “This was like the perfect balance for their world,” she said. Rather than her kids having to participate in various sports in a regular gym class, Carson said the ability to do what they are passionate about inspires them to want
to go to school every day. It has also fostered a greater respect between them and their teachers, she said. People such as Bottiglia are working hard to make the program a reality, but also get to coach the sports they are passionate about as well. This creates respect between student/athlete and coach/ teacher, she said. Empowering her kids to get to choose a sport they want to focus on is also part
of the equation, she said. “It’s just been a fantastic experience,” said Carson. While the high school program may be about concentrating on one sport, the school has also developed a preparatory gym program for their Grade 7 and 8 students that exposes them to many more sports than a regular gym class would. Members of this intermediate program attend biweekly outings where they try sports that can’t be performed in a regular gym or that require specialized training that a gym teacher might not have. These include rock climbing, fencing, mountain biking, karate and more. When the school began the intermediate program, Bottiglia and others anticipated about 20 students would sign up. Instead 40 took the class, and the school anticipates 70 students will be enrolled next year. “We’re extremely proud of our school and our program,” said Osman. To find out more, the school is hosting an open house on May 5 at 6:30 p.m.

OTTAWA NEIGHBOURHOODS – THE EAST
Big push to complete first LRT phase TRANSIT
For residents of central eastern neighbourhoods, a quick and easy link to the rest of the city will be just minutes away Jen Traplin Now that the warmer weather has arrived, construction is ramping up again as the big push to complete the first phase of the City’s light rail plan by 2018 continues. While the lane closures and adjustments to bus routes may be cause for a bit of shortterm stress, it will all be worth it soon. The City of Ottawa has declared the first phase of LRT on time and on budget. Construction on the project has been ongoing since 2013. With everything running smoothly, it looks like the City will get its wish to have a major section of the downtown portion of the line finished in time for the 2017 celebrations next year. The remainder of the line is expected to open in 2018. In total, the first phase of the Confederation Line will be 12.5 kilometres long, running from Blair Station to Tunney’s Pasture, including a 2.5 kilometre tunnel through the downtown core. For residents of central eastern neighbourhoods like Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh, Manor Park and Lindenlea, the completion of Phase 1 means a quick and easy link to the rest of the city will just be minutes away. And soon, even more eastern Ottawa residents will benefit from light rail. The City is now turning its attention toward
Rendering of the Blair Road Station, which will be the most eastern point of the first phase of LRT. CONTRIBUTED
Stage 2, which includes three major extensions of the rail line — west, south and east. In total, Stage 2 includes another 30 kilometres of light rail and the addition of 19 new stations. The Confederation Line East extension will see LRT continue from Blair
Why not spend a little time at the beach? An extended beach season officially kicks off on May 21 when the City of Ottawa’s beaches open to the public. Earlier this year, City Council voted to extend Ottawa’s beach season by a week, meaning the beaches will stay open this year until September 5, for a total of 72 days this year instead of 65. There are four public beaches throughout Ottawa — Britannia Beach in the west, Mooney’s Bay in the south, Westboro Beach in Central Ottawa and what is technically the city’s newest beach, Petrie Island, in east end Orleans. In 1955, Petrie Island was purchased by Donat Grandmaitre, who turned it into a sand dredging operation which only stopped in 2003 when the area was transformed into the public beach we see today.
Well before it was turned into a public beach, though, a group of volunteers formed the Friends of Petrie Island (FOPI), an organization dedicated to ensuring the natural beauty, ecosystem and history of the area blends seamlessly with its recreational uses. While the City of Ottawa maintains the public beach, FOPI is responsible for operating the picnic area and nature trails — there are about 7 kilometres of walking paths in the area, all offering nice views of the Ottawa River — and has also developed a series of interactive nature programs.
Road to Place d’Orléans, with the potential for another 3.5 kilometre addition to Trim Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2018. By the time that wraps up in 2023, the City of Ottawa says 70 percent of residents will live within five kilometres of light rail.
AVOID CONSTRUCTION To ensure the fewest disruptions to your commute, the City of Ottawa is encouraging residents to access construction and traffic management information by visiting the City of Ottawa’s interactive traffic map at ottawa.ca, calling 3-1-1 and following the City of Ottawa’s traffic Twitter feed (@Ottawa_Traffic).
PETRIE ISLAND BEACH INFO Petrie Island Beach is open from May 21 to Sept. 5, 2016. There are two public beaches on the northeast corner of Petrie Island — the North Beach (or River Beach) and the East Bay Beach. Public parking is available from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. for a fee of $2 for five hours. Lifeguards will be on duty from noon to 7 p.m. from June 18 through Aug. 28, 2016. Public washrooms, change rooms, water fountains, a picnic area and a canteen are also on site. For more information on public beaches, visit ottawa.ca.

In a sprawling city like Ottawa, the choices of where to live are boundless. Many people pick east Ottawa and the communities that make up Orléans. It’s no surprise. Wide, well maintained streets lined with desirable homes of all shapes and styles make east Ottawa a perfect place to call home. Nestled along the Ottawa River, it’s a short 16 km commute from downtown. And with a growing population of more than 100,000 residents in communities like Cumberland and Gloucester, the Orléans area continues to develop with more schools, excellent shopping and sought after career positions. With parks, playgrounds and the Ottawa River nearby, many people have chosen to live in the wide range of new housing built by some of Ottawa’s most popular and trusted builders. The new Avalon community, south of Innes Road, west of Portobello Boulevard and east of Tenth Line Road, is just one example of the many places to call home in east Ottawa. There is a community to suit every lifestyle in east Ottawa and Orléans. Cardinal Creek, Fallingbrook, Chatelaine Village, Convent Glen and many others welcome families with schools and great recreational facilities. The Elizabeth Manley skating rink at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex (formerly Orléans Recreation Complex is named for figure skater Elizabeth Manley who trained there and went on to win a Silver Medal in Women’s figure skating in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. It is home to the Gloucester Skating Club and the Canadian Academy of Skating Arts, well-known for sending skaters to national and international level competitions. In east Orléans, The Ray Friel Recreational Complex has a public library, a high school, an indoor wave pool, exercising facilities, a physiotherapy clinic, a
sports store, a restaurant, two soccer fields and three skating arenas making it one of the main centres for recreation in Orléans. For a taste of culture, the Shenkman Arts Centre opened in 2009 just east of Place d’Orléans. This multidisciplinary arts centre houses a concert hall, black-box theatre, several art galleries and studio spaces for both visual and performing arts. For a quiet stroll, there are also several nature trails and paths throughout the area including the Bilberry Creek Trail and the Princess Louise Trail through which Taylor Creek runs with a beautiful waterfall near St-Joseph Boulevard. Orléans Wood, north of Highway 174 toward the Ottawa River, east of Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard and west of Champlain Street and River Walk, east of Tenth Line, are popular areas where the convenience of city living meets the serenity of nature. The commercial hub is the Place d’Orléans shopping centre, with over 175 stores just off Regional Road 174, the Queensway. Originally built in 1979 Place d’Orléans has expanded over the years and has attracted other business development along Innes Road between Tenth Line Road and Mer Bleue Road. Most recently, Trim Road on the eastern end of the area has welcomed new enterprises and services to complement and diversify the thriving commercial core. The business community is supported by the Heart of Orléans Business Improvement Area (BIA), a not-for-profit Board of Management started in 2008. The BIA helps business districts pool resources to promote and improve their area, and speak with one common voice. The Heart of Orléans is committed to continuous improvements to make the district more walkable and bike friendly, and to keeping it clean and safe. The BIA also hosts events that families can enjoy, making a vibrant community.
Avalon Encore
Minto Releases 4 New Single Family Show Homes Minto is excited to reveal four new Single Family Show Homes in the popular community of Avalon Encore. Nestled amongst green spaces, shopping malls, and schools, Minto’s Avalon Encore is the ideal neighbourhood for young professionals, families, and retirees at all stages of life. Show Homes of Minto’s new designs first opened last year in Kanata’s Arcadia, and now the East end of the city can have its first taste of four never-before-seen spacious designs. The new Single Family Home designs have been extremely well-received throughout Minto’s Orléans, Kanata and Barrhaven communities, with more than 500 sold since their release.
The Show Homes: On 30’, 36’ and 43’ lots, these new show homes offer something for every buyer. The Kinghurst, a spacious 1785 sq.ft. home, is a contemporary two-storey house with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. With a large open concept design, a sunken foyer, second floor laundry, and a family-feel grand room, this home is ideal for families who want to live and grow together. The Georgian is a larger design with 2339 sq.ft. of living space. This slightly more traditional two-storey home offers a two car garage, a large foyer, a mud room, and generous-
ly sized bedrooms. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the Georgian is a home for those in need of extra space. The Stanley Show Home is slightly larger with 2450 sq.ft., 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This design offers three unique elevations which allows for a more eclectic curb appeal. The Marquette, the largest of the four Show Homes, is a stately home with 3242 sq.ft. This traditional design comes complete with a breakfast area, a den, and a formal dining room. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, the Marquette also comes in 3 unique elevations. With plenty of space to grow, buyers are guaranteed to fall in love with this forever home.
Flex Plan Options: The new Single Family Show Homes represent Minto’s mission to design and build homes that families want and need. These new models are an example of a better use of space and easy-care finishes. The new designs include a variety of rich colour palettes along with many elevation models to best fit the buyer’s needs and personal taste. From modern to traditional, contemporary to retro, the Minto design team, along with KISS Design, has thought of it all. Plenty of natural light offers bright living spaces that welcome you home each day.
Minto is especially excited about their new Flex Options. Once you purchase your home, you have the opportunity to sit down with a design expert at Minto’s new Design Centre and choose options for your home. Perhaps you want four bedrooms instead of three; maybe you’d like custom-built shelves in the mudroom, or you maybe you’d like a finished basement. All of these options, and many more, are available as an à la carte plan.
Minto has been crafting homes for over 60 years, and their beautiful designs are enjoyed by more than 80,000 happy homeowners. Minto is constantly exploring innovation in their new homes and communities to provide customers with greater sustainability, lifestyle and design, while maintaining affordability for today’s families. Minto’s proud legacy in Ottawa means offering a home, community and lifestyle for any family, at any stage of life. For more information on the new Show Homes please visit www.mintoavalon.com.
Location: Minto began building Avalon in 2000, and sold out of homes on the east side of Tenth Line Road in 2015 which prompted the expansion on the west side of Tenth Line Road, now known as Avalon Encore. To date, nearly 5,000 homes have been sold in Avalon and Avalon Encore. Conveniently located at Tenth Line Rd and Brian Coburn Boulevard, Avalon Encore is also easily accessed by the Queensway, and you’re only a 20 minute drive from downtown. With many OC Transpo bus routes and the new LRT expansion plans, your commute is easier than ever. Within a few minutes’ drive or even a short walk, you’ll find everything you may need, including pharmacies, restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and even expansive green spaces.

A little something for everyone
There’s plenty of park space in this Garden City suburb. ISTOCK
OTTAWA EAST
History, beaches, urban or suburban all in one ’hood Jen Traplin Whether you’re looking for a home close to the centre of it all or something on a quieter, suburban street, Ottawa’s eastern neighbourhoods offer a little something for everyone. Just minutes outside of downtown Ottawa is the beautiful Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward, home to popular neighbourhoods like New Edinburgh, Manor Park and one of the country’s earliest planned communities, Lindenlea, which dates back to the early 1900s. According to the Lindenlea Community Association, the neighbourhood was designed to “be the Canadian prototype of a trendy British planning idea of the time, the Garden City suburb, a neighbourhood with curving, tree-lined streets
and quiet cul de sacs, plenty of park space and tennis courts.” There is also plenty of Canadian history in neighbouring New Edinburgh, which is home to 24 Sussex Dr., the official residence of the Prime Minister, as well as Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General of Canada. There are also a number of embassies and consulates in the area. On the eastern outskirts of the city is Orléans, one of Ottawa’s largest suburbs. Located along the Ottawa River and less than 20 kilometres from the downtown core, the population of Orléans has gone from just 6,000 people to well over 100,000 in the past 40 years. The area is home to one of just four public beaches in Ottawa, Petrie Island, and will also benefit from the Stage 2 LRT project, which will include new stations at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc, Orléans Boulevard and Place d’Orléans.

connecting Orleans to the rest of the city is Regional Road 174.

Father endured long days on farm at this time of year
E Residential • Assisted Living • Short Term Stays
arly in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs. He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids to put in the kindling, I would waken. And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready. The sun would be just rising when Father would head to the barns for the chores, returning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the fields. Likely the binder would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before. Our fields were long and narrow in the Northcote area, and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the West Hill, he was in another part of the country. He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and fields. Grampa, when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, “Albert is a true farmer.” On weekdays, Mother would pack a lunch for him
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories to take to the back fields. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take the eleven quart basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite a feast, I thought back then. And Father and I would share the lunch together.During the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder, far back into the fields in the farthest reaches of our farm. My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores. There was milking to be done, the barns to be cleaned out and made ready for the night, the calves and pigs to be fed, and fresh
straw put in the stalls. My sister Audrey and I were expected to wash out the milk pails and the cream separator, put fresh cheesecloth under the lids of the milk cans, making sure everything was secure. Mother lived in constant dread that somehow a mouse would get into the milk can during the night, which Father said was an impossibility since the lids fit so tightly. But she wasn’t taking any chances, thus the cheesecloth was extra protection. WITHOUT FATHER
We would have our supper without Father these nights. He would still be working in the fields. It didn’t seem right somehow, that he wasn’t sitting at the head of the table. See FATHER, page 57

Father would work late Continued from page 50
But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door. My sister Audrey would have to say Grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father. Although he wasn’t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasn’t part of our supper meal. Long after we had eaten, and redded up the kitchen, and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch for Father. I would first see just a speck, and then I would see him coming over the West hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging behind them. I would watch his figure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound. “He’s home,” I would yell. Everett would get up and go out to the barn yard
And Father would come into the kitchen, covered with dirt and chaff, looking like he had rolled in a dustbin. He would go to the bench at the back door where Mother would have put out a fresh basin of warm water.

I would watch him splash the water over his face and rub it up his arms, and see the water turn black. He would reach up to the huck towel and dry himself off, and it would look like he didn’t have another ounce of strength in his body. Mother would put a steaming supper before him, and I never knew whether I should sit at the table with him so that he wouldn’t be eating alone, or to leave him in peace. It never mattered how ample was the meal, it couldn’t erase the bone-tiredness from Father’s body.

The Grassroot Grannies’ annual plant sale is coming up on May 7. But it’s more than their plants that are blooming. Several local grannies had the opportunity to travel to Uganda recently to see the fruits of their labour for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign. The campaign supports grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa who are raising grandchildren orphaned by the AIDS pandemic. The money goes to support projects aimed at improving nutrition, health care and education for the African grandchildren, while enabling
grandmothers to make money of their own. The Grassroot Grannies’ annual plant sale is one of two major fundraisers they run each year in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Stella Val was one of several Grassroot Grannies who traveled to Uganda to see what affect their and many others’ efforts were having for grandmothers in that country. About 450 Ugandan grandmothers attended the first every National Grandmothers’ Gathering last October. Val and others attended the gathering itself and met with grandmothers in villages who are conducting projects with support from the Ste-
phen Lewis Foundation. “It was pretty humbling,” said Val of the experience. “You meet (the grandmothers) as individual people and you realize how much strength they have in doing what they are doing,” she said. “Putting yourself in their position I can’t imagine doing it – they have a lot of resilient strength.” The gathering was a chance for Ugandan grandmothers to speak out against unfair treatment they receive, including less medical attention because they are seen as not economically important, said Val. “They are considered to be old and the professionals look to invest more of the resources in working people, so that they can continue work-

Ugandan grannies and dancers perform during the first ever National Grandmother’s Gathering in Uganda. Several local Grassroot Grannies attended the meeting as longtime supporters of the Stephen Lewis Foundation which supports grandmothers in Uganda. One of the Grassroot Grannies annual fundraisers, a plant sale and market place, is coming up on May 7. ing. You can sort of see their point in a way, but it’s not really fair for the old people, you know … they are called the backbone of the country because they are holding the families together.” However Val’s ultimate takeaway from the experience was positive. “The message I came home with is that the grandmothers are now in a position where they can advocate for them-
selves, and with support from the Stephen Lewis Foundation they are being empowered to do this,” she said. All the proceeds from the Grassroot Grannies upcoming plant sale and marketplace on May 7 go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, said Val. The sale takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 54 Selwyn Place. In addition to plants for
sale, many of which are grown by the Grassroot Grannies themselves, there will be gently used jewelry, greeting cards, birdhouses, ornaments and more for sale, much of which is made by the grannies as well. Last year the sale made $9,000, and the grannies are hoping for a similarly successful sale this year. For more information go to grassrootgrannies.com/ Events.html.
‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ Union, residents call for more consultation on changes to service Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Residents, merchants and the Ottawa Police Association were among the crowd that urged the police services board to put the brakes on a plan to rejig the way officers are deployed on April 25. The plan, called the service initiative program update, had a controversial element that includes reallocating resources like beat cops, community policing functions and district traffic functions to a “front line functional model.” Acting Supt. Mark Ford, who presented the strategy, said it was about reducing the demand on officers. “Our policing responsibilities will be carried out,” Ford said. “It’s about how we can be more efficient co-ordinating front line engagements.” The plan got a failing grade from members of the public
who spoke about the benefits of community policing in public engagement and crime reduction. “If it ain’t broke,” don’t fix it,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. Deans added she understands the need for Ottawa police to look at more efficient ways to deliver service, but didn’t understand the plan to “dismantle” the community-policing model, which she said was one of the most effective parts of the system. Deans also said she thought public consultation was coming way too late in the process. Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof expressed frustration that the association hasn’t been invited to the table to discuss the proposed changes. He said the service initiative as its proposed, could face some challenges with

respect to the collective agreement. Cheryl Parrott spoke to the board on behalf of a number of community organizations, including the Hintonburg Community Association. She said the neighbourhood went from having the highest number of service calls to the lowest – thanks in part to the community police officer. She said the public was understandably nervous about changes, since so little information is available. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said as a councillor and a resident, he sees the value of the community police officer. “Things like crack houses don’t go away after one service call,” he said. “Sometimes it can take years, which is why it’s important to have specialized knowledge of the area” Lucie Marleau, the Neigh-
bourhood Watch Program Coordinator for Vanier, said the community police officer helped to find captains for a lot of the “dismantled” Neighbourhood Watch programs. “Without him, they would be in tatters,” she said. Jasna Jennings, the executive director of the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area, said with the complex mix of retail, shelters and social service organizations, there needs to be a single point of contact, with knowledge of the area. “There are so many players, officers have to have a profound knowledge of the area,” she said.
Skof echoed the concerns of previous speakers. “We hope the community understands that this will mean different service for areas like Vanier, Hintonburg and the market,” he said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, said it seemed like the plan was a done deal, and thought the public should have the chance to engage in meaningful consultation. Fleury, who has been vocal about the police services’ plan to stop responding to bylaw noise complaints unless there’s a threat to public safety, said he didn’t want to be blindsided like the community and protective services
committee was upon hearing that officers would no longer respond to noise complaints. Board chair Eli El-Chantiry took exception to the bylaw example, and said there’s been talk of stopping the practice of responding to noise complaints since 2013. “To come here and say we haven’t heard this before is unfair,” he said. But Fleury said it’s been hard for councillors who don’t sit on the board to get information. Ford said a strategy for public consultation will come out in May. He added that police hope to role out the service initiative program in 2017.
