Planned Johnwoods Street closure draws ire Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Residents were up in arms over the planned closure of a portion of Johnwoods Street at a public meeting on May 4. The city plans to close Johnwoods Street between Rosehill Avenue and Maple Grove Road, to convert it into
a park and pedestrian pathway after future construction is done to build Rosehill Avenue and Maple Grove Road. A large portion of the outrage expressed at the meeting had to do with a lack of public consultation. See RESIDENTS, page 14

Frustration grows over lack of public high school in Stittsville Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri didn’t get what he wanted for his community after a recent provincial funding announcement left Stittsville empty-handed. A May 5 provincial press release announced $137 million in funding to build and renovate schools – but there was nothing for Ottawa’s west end included in that tally. The English public board’s top-ranked priority last year, an addition at West Carleton Secondary School, received funding last year. It means the No. 1 spot on the list now belongs to the previously second-ranked Stittsville secondary school. “The priorities seem to keep changing, and ours continue to be left behind,” Qadri said. “I hope that this year, let’s at least get some commitment from the province and the school board.” Lynn Scott, the school board trustee for Stittsville, said the province has not requested an updated priorities

ommends keeping the Stittsville secondary school in the No. 1 slot as it is now. “I certainly will be arguing in favour of this,” Scott said. “We have waited for this for a very long time. We actually very much need a high school in Stittsville now.” Both Scott and Qadri said the community is growing, and will continue to grow, adding to the need for a new school. When the province funds new schools or renovations, it looks at the business case and priorities list submitted by the school board. While the priorities are taken into consideration, the province can choose to fund schools lower on the list if it feels they have a stronger business case. That happened last year, when the province funded a lower ranked school in the city’s south end over a new secondary school in Stittsville. Qadri said he’s been talking with MPPs because he needs support at the provincial level. He said the Stittsville-area MPP, Jack MacLaren, “has done very little for us.”

Living in the moment
W
hat day is it? asked Winnie the Pooh. “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh (A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh. ) When it comes to living in the moment, which is apparently the secret to happiness, I’m crap at it. I nostalgically live in the past one moment, and worrying look to the future the next. Most mornings when I wake, I remember all the things I failed to accomplish yesterday toward next week’s goal. My husband frequently bemoans the fact that I’m already planning the next family meal, just as he’s “sitting down to enjoy this one”. According to ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu, “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” My loyal readers know I can’t meditate. But I have discovered a way to be more present. It comes in the form of my threeyear-old daughter. She wakes up nearly every morning with the same, happy call: “I’m awake!!” With those two words, she’s simultaneously announcing her presence to us and welcoming the day, fresh and new. She’s not lamenting unfinished business from yesterday, nor fretting over what’s to come. So present is she that “last year” and “yesterday” mean the same thing to her – her brain has matured just enough to let her know those words mean “already happened, so let’s move onto the now.” If someone mentions an upcoming trip, she says, “well, we’re not doing that today” and she moves the conversation forward. Once we were discussing a possible trip to visit family. She overheard, packed a

suitcase full of doll clothes and announced, “I’m ready!” When we noted that it was a trip in the future, she turned to her brothers and said grumpily, “we’re used to.

Photo radar is coming, you can count on it
W
ho would argue about the safety of kids? It’s a no-brainer, and no one would dare. Bravo to those who want to introduce the money machine known as photo radar to the streets of Ottawa. By cracking open the door to photo radar by using the old standby – we must do it to save the kids – the City of Ottawa’s transportation committee has tapped the gas and surged toward green-lighting photo radar as a traffic enforcement tool. On May 4, the committee recommended council ask the province for permission to use photo radar. At this point photo radar in Ottawa is being called a “pilot project� and would only be used in school zones. And any revenue generated would be dedicated to a “road safety� fund. The issue was slated to go to council on May 11. “I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale rollout of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,� Mayor Jim Watson wrote in a memo in support of taking this route. “Or for those who are concerned with the
tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.� Those hesitant, concerned people once seemed to include Watson. But the safety of kids is the issue now, not an enforcement tool that does absolutely nothing to stop a speeding driver from motoring along on their merry way. Photo radar is a “the bill is in the mail� traffic enforcement option. The city still needs the province’s approval to move forward with its photo radar scheme, but it does have local MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, in its corner. Yes, the former Mike Harris government did cancel photo radar use in the past, but that was a rare instance of government giving up a revenue stream. And yes, if photo radar returns, keeping it to school zones would seem the least objectionable way to go. The question is do you really trust a government to get its hands on a revenue tool, and stick to the narrow application of that tool? History suggests the answer to that is a lot different than what we are hearing from city hall these days.
A tip of the hat to servers
E
very once in a while a major restaurant in Canada or the U.S. announces that it is abolishing tipping. There inevitably follows a widespread discussion in the news media in which various people weigh in on the evils of tipping and why it should be abolished. No one has made a convincing case yet. Among the arguments you hear are these: • Tipping doesn’t happen in other jobs. • Tipping doesn’t happen in many foreign countries. • Tipping the server is unfair to other restaurant employees, such as cooks, who work hard but don’t receive tips. • The tips don’t reach the server anyway, but are scattered about to cover other restaurant costs.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town • And maybe the owners get them. • Tipping is inconvenient to customers, who have to figure out what 15 per cent is and avoid the embarrassment of under- or overtipping. Although some of the other arguments may have validity here and there, it is probably the last that means the most to people. People don’t like having to tip, some of them for the reasons above, some of them because they’re just cheap. But that’s not a valid reason to
abolish tipping. The valid reason to abolish tipping will come when servers are paid a decent wage and don’t need to rely on tips to bring their incomes to a livable level. Hardly anyone would argue that we are there yet. Wages are low, held down, in some cases by the existence of tips. But it does not logically follow that abolishing tipping would cause wages to go up, does it? And while it is certainly true in some cases that the entirety of a tip does not reach the person for which it was intended, it is next to impossible to rectify that situation. Just think what it would take to enforce that. While some look wistfully to other countries, such as in Europe, that do not have tipping, they should look carefully too. Serving has a higher status there than here, and servers are paid better. So if we want to adopt the Eu-

ropean model, we have to adopt the entire European model, which means higher wages. Higher wages for servers probably means, and should mean, higher wages for other restaurant employees. In turn, these mean higher prices on the menu. Will the people who want to abolish tipping eagerly accept that? It would be good if they did. Having to rely on tips is not a pleasant situation for people in the serving professions. But having to get by without them is even less pleasant, unless their job pays them more money. It is not a dilemma that is easily resolved. A drastic change in attitudes on the part of owners is called for. Maybe it will come. There are signs that it will. But it won’t happen tomorrow. There are some years ahead in which the tipping option will still be presented to us, the consumers.

When you think about it, the consumers, the people at the table, have the least at stake in this dispute. It does not make a huge impact on our lives whether we add a few dollars to a bill or not. So why are some of us getting so self-righteous about it? Just leave the tip and move on.

Why teens, young adults and bush parties don’t mix Submitted
Every Friday afternoon when high schools let out in Ottawa’s neighbourhoods, some teens head straight for a ‘Tequila Sunrise.’ It’s slang for the bush parties teens attend to kick off the weekend. Many young adults attend these parties too. With warmer weather upon us, we’re in prime season for these off-the-beatentrack get togethers. They take place in parks, trails, forests, private lands and green spaces throughout the city and our rural areas. What may seem like harmless ‘teens being teens’ to some parents comes with a range of risks. Here’s what you should know: ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE
There’s no question that alcohol, drugs and bush parties tend to go hand-in-hand. Overconsumption of alcohol or drugs can lead to serious consequences, such as overdoses, violence or
sexual assault. Bush parties take place in remote areas, so finding someone in need of emergency help can be a problem. “The difference between an emergency and a tragedy can be a matter of minutes,” explains Stittsville Councillor and Chair of the Ottawa Board of Health, Shad Qadri. “Our emergency services have to get to the victim, but when a party is taking place in a secluded area, it can be very difficult to find it. How do you identify the location? A lag in reaction time can be very serious.” UNDERAGE DRINKING
While some young people bring their own liquor, others have parents who supply it. It is an offense under the Liquor Licence Act for adults to supply alcohol to youth under age 19 for use in public places. As Staff Sergent Andrew Buchan of the Ottawa Police Service points out, parents also need to consider the worst-case scenario.
“If the bush party gets out of hand to the point where someone is seriously injured or dies, the adults supplying the liquor may find themselves the subjects of a criminal investigation.” He warns that if a parent supplies liquor to a young person under age 16, and the police find out through a complaint or call for service, they will notify the Children’s Aid Society. There are also the health risks of underage drinking. Ottawa Public Health offers several fact sheets on youth drinking – and the harm it causes to a growing body and mind. In a recent study, they found that 58% of Ottawa students in grades 7 to 12 reported drinking alcohol. For more information and advice for parents, visit ottawa.ca/en/residents/ public-health. NOISE AND LITTER PROBLEMS
For nearby neighbours, bush parties bring other problems, in-
cluding noise and garbage. Young people may set up old sofas and chairs, build fires and leave litter scattered on the site. There is also the risk of fires from discarded cigarettes or injury from broken glass. If you notice any of these problems in your area, call the City at 3-1-1 to report the issues to By-Law. WHAT TO DO ABOUT BUSH PARTIES
If you have teenagers or young adults at home, talk to them about the risks and how to make responsible choices. Encourage them to let you know where they are going, who they will be with and how you can reach them. Check up on them. You may also consider locking up your alcohol at home. Work with your kids to help them find safe ways to have fun. If bush parties are a problem in your neighbourhood, here’s what you can do: Report a party in progress to
the police: Call 9-1-1 Report noise or litter problems to By-Law: Dial 3-1-1 Talk to your School Resource Officer: If you or your schoolaged teen knows about a planned bush party, contact your School Resource Officer or the Ottawa Police Youth Section at 236-1222, ext. 5355 to speak with a youth officer. Talk to your Community Police Centre officers: For help in what to do to deal with bush party problems in your neighbourhood, call 613-236-1222 to speak with your Community Police Officer. As Councillor Qadri says, “People say it takes a village to raise a child. The village is made up of many parents and we all have a responsibility to keep our kids safe.” For more information about partying, alcohol or community safety, visit Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Neighbourhood Toolkit at www.crimepreventionottawa.ca/ toolkit

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on May 11, 2016 established its intention to designate Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Description of Property Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue is a one-and-one-half-storey stone house constructed between 1840 and 1850 in City View in former Nepean Township. Cultural Heritage Value Kilmorie has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Nepean Township and with Confederation Poet William Wilfred Campbell and for its design value as an example of a 19th century vernacular stone house. Kilmorie’s historical value lies in its association with the early development of City View in former Nepean Township. Constructed at some point between 1840 and 1850 as a farmhouse for William Scott, who emigrated from Ireland to Upper Canada in 1819 as part of a wave of Irish Protestants who settled in Nepean Township in the 19th century, Kilmorie serves as a reminder of the area’s agricultural history. Kilmorie is also associated with William Wilfred Campbell, one of the Confederation Poets, a group of poets born in the 1860s who became popular in Canada at the end of the 19th century. Campbell purchased Kilmorie in 1914 and lived there until his death in 1918. Kilmorie has design value as an example of the vernacular stone buildings constructed in the classical tradition in the Ottawa area in the early-to-mid 19th century. Exemplifying its type, Kilmorie is constructed of limestone, has a gable roof with returned eaves and symmetrical facades. The front facade is highlighted by a tripartite window with decorative fanlight in the central gable. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the vobjection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

May 25, 2016 Fred G. Barrett Arena 3280 Leitrim Road (corner of Bank St. and Leitrim Rd.) 6:30 to 9 p.m. By attending this meeting, residents will find out more about the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process and updated serviceability for the Leitrim Development Area. In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment Number 76 (OPA 76), the City of Ottawa increased its urban envelope and part of that expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b (87.2 hectares) were added to the LDA as per Planning Committee Report Number 33 (dated June 27, 2012). The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the EA process. The Updated Serviceability Report is prepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing that integrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA. To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open house will address: •
• •
The addition of the 87.2 hectares of developable area to the analysis contained in the 2007 Final Serviceability Report, including a review of the impacts of the OPA 76 expansion lands on existing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements to service the expansion lands Recommendations on the overall LDA infrastructure system, including upgrades required to meet the City of Ottawa’s level of service requirements for build-out of future development within the LDA
By participating at this meeting, you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Information on the Updated Serviceability Report for the LDA is available on ottawa.ca/publicconsultations. Residents are encouraged to provide comments throughout the EA process.

Residents frustrated with planned Johnwoods Street conversion Continued from page 1
Several residents had emails from city planners in past years indicated Johnwoods Street closing was still proposed, and there would be “extensive public consultation” before it would officially be done. Planner David Wise acknowledged sending an email to a resident in attendance that said Johnwoods wouldn’t be closed without public consultation. The notice that went out to residents about the information session also called it a “proposed conversion.” The closure of Johnwoods Street was actually approved by the city in November 2013 through a subdivision approval for Mattamy Homes. The approval had a condition that there needed to be a public information session. Alon Street resident Charlene Mcenery drew cheers and applause from many of the 125 people in attendance for her comments throughout the meeting. “We feel very mislead because you receive something in the mail from (Coun. Shad Qadri) last week saying there’s a proposed closure, then we gather up our kids, we get babysitters, we do whatever we have to do to come here and speak, and then we get here and speak and hear it’s not proposed,” she said. “It’s going to happen.” City planner Kathy Rygus said the planning rationale behind the closure is due to new roads in the area downgrading the importance of Johnwoods Street. She said through the Kanata West Concept Plan, the street was intended to be downgraded to be a more local, quieter street. “Planning staff saw it as an opportunity to do something unique for Johnwoods Street,” Rygus said. “We felt this was something that would provide a
community benefit.” When the city approves subdivision plans, they can put clauses in the approvals – including getting the developer to pay for certain things. In this case, the approval said Mattamy would have to pay to convert Johnwoods Street into the park city planners had come up with. There had also been complaints that Johnwoods Street was one of the areas in the community that needed traffic calming to deal with speeding drivers. Rygus said there was information about the application in the Stittsville News in 2013. There were concerns that traffic from Johnwoods Street will reroute to other neighbourhood streets, such as Alon Street. Because there are no houses that front on to the portion of Johnwoods Street, it should be the perfect place for cars and traffic, residents said. “They’re going to go rooting down my street while there are probably 125 children under the age of 12,” Mcenery said. Robert Vastag from Stantec, one of the several people who presented at the meeting, said most traffic will divert onto Rosehill Avenue, which is designed as a collector road. He said it is designed to be able to accommodate 1,200 to 1,600 vehicles per hour, and is currently projected to carry 450 vehicles. He expects the Johnwoods Street closing to add 50 vehicles per hour. He faced a number of questions from residents, who voiced concerns about traffic from Johnwoods Street coming onto their residential streets instead. OPTIONS

The city has plans to close a portion of Johnwoods Street to turn it into a linear park. he was in a conflict of interest due to a home he had purchased on Joseph Circle, which backs onto the Fairwinds development. Qadri told residents he plans to put forward an amendment to the subdivision plan that would stop the conversation of Johnwoods Street. It would be likely to meet backlash from some residents, though. Those who purchased homes backing onto the portion of Johnwoods Street that is planned to be converted paid Mattamy a premium to have the park and trail in their backyard. “I’ve said yes, I would do that,” Qadri said. “Yes, I’m willing to put that amendment forward, but that does not mean (the plans for Johnwoods Street) will change.”

Sens, businesses ask mayor to bring LRT to west end faster Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Prominent Kanata business leaders, west-end councillors and the Senators are pushing Mayor Jim Watson to bring light rail transit to Kanata sooner. Metroland Media recently received copies of two letters sent to Watson by the Kanata North Business Improvement Area and Senators Sports and Entertainment in mid April. Both letters point to a lack of public transit as a barrier to growth and employee recruitment, and single out the federal government’s budget announcement committing $11.9 billion for infrastructure in the next two years. Using numbers from a recent economic study requested by the Kanata North BIA, the organization referred to the Kanata North Business Area as Canada’s largest research and technology park, contributing $7.8 billion to the country’s GDP in 2015, and paying more than $120 million in city taxes. “The demand for talent in our city has never been higher,” reads the BIA’s letter. “Accessibility to public transportation is critical to attracting and retaining a talented workforce, and is an important factor in attracting new businesses to the area and in retaining those currently located in Ottawa.” The Sens letter echoed the sentiment, saying, “At a recent gathering of Invest Ottawa with many west end-based businesses in attendance, the key barrier to growth expressed by them all was ‘talent.’ Hiring good, skilled professionals is the key to future growth. Lack of mass transit,
and a plan to extend LRT to financed 50 per cent by the Kanata, is a barrier to attract- federal government, which ing talent and attracting new would benefit considering the military’s plans to move into businesses to our city.” The Sens letter added that the former Nortel Campus – while the team plans to on Carling Avenue.

While these requests might have been pipe dreams as recently as last year, the federal budget has brought it into the realm of possibility, said Kanata North BIA’s executive director Jenna Sudds. “We viewed the new federal budget, and specifically funds allocated to infrastructure as an opportunity to revisit the LRT issue,” she said. “With further federal support, LRT to Kanata is more realistic...” The BIA’s letter suggests that an extension to Kanata could be

Stittsville renovator wins national award Community renovator, Amsted Design-Build, was honoured to accept the award for renovation under $250,000 at the 2016 National Awards for Housing Excellence this weekend in Kelowna, B.C. Amsted’s head office is located on Flewellyn Road in Stittsville. The award was for a recent mainfloor renovation in the Glebe, and presented by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association. This year’s awards received a record number of submissions, with nearly 700 applications. Finalists were announced in March, and Amsted was honoured to be among those recognized in the category of renovation under $250,000. Amsted owner Steve Barkhouse says the company celebrated then. “It’s truly an honour to be a finalist. There are only five projects selected from all of the submissions across the country, and we were thrilled to be included in that select group.” The homeowners contracted Amsted for this project, which involved the careful reconsideration of a traditional Victorian home to meet the contemporary living needs of their busy family. The new design included a grand foyer, integrated a mudroom, maintained sizeable formal dining and living areas, relocated the kitchen, and created a more comfortable casual eating area and adjacent family room. The new awards are the successors to the Association’s National SAM Awards, established 37 years ago. The awards recognize the best in new homes, home renovations, community development and marketing innovation, with entries made by members of the Association from across the country.

Wait times for mental health care going under the knife at CHEO, the Royal Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The roll-out of a new blueprint for change, now underway at CHEO, is designed to whittle the time children and youth spend languishing on a wait list for mental-health care in Ottawa from several months down to one. Staff training in the delivery of a new service model of care, known as the Choice and Partnership Approach or CAPA, was one of the first major steps implemented at the children’s hospital earlier this year. Next up was a wait list blitz in February that allowed staff to identify which of the 340 kids sitting on a wait list after being referred to CHEO’s centralized referral intake system still needed care. “That’s why the line keeps growing because no one is assessing what the family and the child actually needs and then streamlining them to where they need to go,” said Kathleen Pajer, chief of psychiatry at CHEO. CAPA is changing that. Under the model, which originated in the United Kingdom and is now in use across Nova Scotia, patient needs are better identified and matched with the right outpatient service. Before the blitz, kids were waiting nine
months to a year for their first outpatient appointment. Over the next three years, the goal is for patients to wait no longer than four weeks for a choice appointment, during which they work with a clinician to problem-solve the issue impacting them most rather than focus on the diagnosis and spend hours being formally assessed. Perhaps a prescribed medication could be tweaked, a community agency could be suggested, maybe parenting courses would also help, and, based on the child’s need, another type of medical specialist at CHEO could be recommended for a few sessions. It’s designed to give patients and families more of a say, develop goals and help design the right course of action through a multifaceted tailored approach. “Their engagement is critical in this,” Pajer said of the new collaborative partnership. “It puts them at the heart of what we’re doing for them rather than us dictating to them what they need,” said Christine Slepanki, the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s director of patient care for the Youth Psychiatry Program and the adult Mood and Anxiety Program.

New model puts patients at the heart of decision making: director Continued from page 21
Faced with a growing wait list over the past few years, the Royal fully rolled out CAPA in late March in its program for teens ages 15-and-a-half to 18. Previously, a referred patient would wait for an appointment with a psychiatrist during which the patient would be assessed and services suggested. In January alone there were between 80 to 100 teens facing a wait of three to five months for an assessment appointment. Similar to CHEO, Royal patients under the CAPA model are now being seen by
a clinician and asked what issues they want to work on. “It’s a very strength-based, recovery-focused model,” Slepanki said. “Rather than coming in to see an expert who’s going to tell you what you need, it’s more like you come in and tell us what you need and we will facilitate you to meet your goals.” The Royal has a similar goal of reducing the wait for a first appointment to no more than four weeks. Patients will see a psychiatrist and be offered various services, such as individual or group therapy. “It’s kind of the difference between going to a department store where it’s onestop shopping and having
to go from one end of town to another to go to multiple stores, each of which specializes in one thing,” Pajer said. A key component to CAPA is mapping out the available mental health-care services and matching them to the right patients based on their needs in order to provide more individualized and responsive care. “That’s the brilliance of CAPA,” Pajer said. “That means we’re agile, we’re an agile mental health-care system. “We’re not just just stuck in ‘we’ve always provided this so we’ll keep continuing to provide it.’” If together during the choice appointment patients

and their families decide upon treatment at CHEO or the Royal the goal is for them to wait no longer than four weeks for the next more in-depth appointment, known as a partnership appointment. That’s when the treatment approach begins in earnest. The Royal isn’t stopping with its Youth Psychiatry Program. The hospital also recently began putting CAPA to work in its adult mentalhealth outpatient service in the mood and anxiety disorders program, where a range of conditions such as longterm depression and bipolar disorder are treated. The hospital just started wading through its adult wait list, which currently has more than 500 people. The goal is to provide them with choice appointments to best determine their goals and needs. “We get almost 80 to 100 referrals a month,” Slepanki said, adding the average wait time for an initial appointment is eight months to a year “which is not OK.” The goal is to ultimately

Imagine the progress a system-wide CAPA strategy could have in improving the health of patients and the greater population, one in which health-care providers across the region use the same choice and partnership
approach to improve access. “It would be revolutionary,” said Pajer. “I have families all the time who, when we first talk to them, they’re on five waiting lists (in the region) just trying to get help. “It’s very sad and it really makes us motivated to make this system better.”

Single mom finds no gov’t support for son’s sight-saving surgery Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
When then 19-year-old Joshua Fayle decided to get his eyes checked, he thought the solution to his blurry vision was simple: he needed glasses. But instead he was told he had to speak to a specialist. “Your corneas are the shape of footballs,” he was told. That was in February 2015. Now Fayle, who just turned 21, has no usable vision in his left eye and is legally blind in the other. Over the past year, Fayle and his family have been through an “overwhelming” journey, he said, that saw him diagnosed with a little-known eye disease and then wait for months for an appointment with the University of Ottawa Eye Institute as his sight grew worse. Fayle’s doctor at the eye institute then told him and his mom that he needed surgery in 10 days or his vision would get so blurry it would be unusable. The surgery would cost $1,500 per eye, they were told,

Joshua Fayle and his mother, Jennifer, sit at their dining-room table in their Stittsville home after a difficult year where Joshua’s sight rapidly became blurrier and blurrier. Then, when they were told he had to undergo surgery, they found the surgery meant to halt eye disease was not covered by OHIP. and it’s not covered by OHIP. With just a month before Christmas, Fayle’s mom Jennifer, who supports her two kids, was not sure where she
would get the money. But she had to somehow. “To not do the surgery was just not an option,” she said. “He had to have it.”

front of the eye, the cornea, to lose strength, said Dr. George Mintsioulis with the eye institute. “(Then) the cornea has a tendency to expand over time and protrude forward which causes distortion,” he said, leaving patients with blurry vision. In Joshua’s case, the disease progressed rapidly and showed no signs of slowing when his doctor at the eye institute, Dr. Setareh Ziai, recommended what’s called cross-linking. The procedure works by soaking the surface of the eye in riboflavin, said Mintsioulis. The riboflavin solution infilitrates the various layers of the cornea, and ultraviolet light is used to attach it to the cornea, making it stronger and stopping expansion. “We cannot make (the cornea) go back (to its original shape),” said Mintsioulis. “But at least we can stabilize it enough so it does not progress any further.” But finding out the procedure meant to save Joshua’s vision was not covered by OHIP was a blow to Joshua
and his mom. “I felt pretty helpless because it wasn’t an option to not pay that money,” said Jennifer. “I had my kids to support, I have a child in college and another child finishing high school and rent and bills and stuff like that, so you know, it was scary.” The gravity of the family’s financial situation was not lost on Joshua either. “I felt guilty because I didn’t have the money to pay for it,” he said. “We walked out of that appointment and he said, ‘Let’s not get the surgery done,’” said Jennifer. Instead, Jennifer began reaching out, at first to Ontario health officials, government representatives at various levels, and then, when they couldn’t help, to philanthropy groups. GETTING HELP

Residents can take advantage of clean water grant program
Mayor pledges to work with west end councillors on proposal for City will allow applications for repair, replacement of septic systems LRT
the approval to use the surplus from previous to fund additional projects. Residents can apply as long as they live in any rural property in Ottawa. They have to have the grant approved before they start work. Robinson said there were 52 applications this year, for a total of $194,744. There were 57 projects approved in 2015 – for a total of $185,000 in city money and $188,000 from landowners. Robinson said 37 projects are already completed and the majority of applications were under stream stabilization.

Couns. Shad Qadri, Eli El-Chantiry, Allan Hubley and Marianne Wilkinson also signed the letter. “With the considerable amount of influential signatories on the letter, we do believe that the letter is having influence with the city,” said Sudds. “I think with this coming to the city from many different sources, with a large amount of influential support behind it, that the city will re-examine the issue,” she said. Watson’s office responded to a request for comment, saying Watson “is pleased to see that the demand for LRT is growing in communities across the city. “Mayor Watson is working with West-end councillors Qadri, ElChantiry, Hubley and Wilkinson, as well as with MP Karen McCrimmon, to consider the proposal outlined in the correspondence we received.”
The city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee heard that rural residents will once again be able to take advantage of the rural clean water grant program for repairs and renovations to their septic systems. The program – which doles out $200,000 in grants for projects that protect surface water and groundwater quality – had stopped allowing septic projects in 2011. Julia Robinson, from the city’s environmental services department, said it was taken out because the program became overburdened with requests. It’s inclusion will have a cap of $20,000 to allow for a mix of projects, she said. The septic grants are maxed at $1,000 or a 50 per cent work share if it’s under $1,000, Robinson said. West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry asked if residents had been made aware of the addition. “Many people were upset when it was removed and would like to take advantage of it,”

West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry wants the city to promote the grant program, so residents can take advantage. he said. “I would like to see rural affairs promote this.” A rejig of the program last year also included

On Wednesday, May 4th, 2016, Bob’s courageous battle with cancer came to a peaceful conclusion in the Carleton Place Hospital. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Alice Turton, children, Jim (Bonnie) and Colleen Wasylko (Warren), and his grand children, Katie and Megan, Allix, Jillian and Rhett. Bob was born in Winnipeg and attended Daniel McIntyre High School where he discovered his love of football and coaching. He enjoyed a 35 year career with the Manitoba Telephone System, retiring in 1994. Bob enjoyed coaching at many levels, especially senior men’s and minor hockey, football, girls’ softball. Our family enjoyed camping and summer holidays at the cottage in Sandy Hook. In an effort to stay fit, Mom and Dad trained for and completed marathons and triathlons. In his retirement years, Bob enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a gifted woodworker; he enjoyed model railroading and attending Carleton Place Canadians games. He cherished the many friends he made over the course of his career, involvement in sports as an athlete and coach, and his hobbies. A memorial service was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Monday, May 9, 2016 at Alan R. Barker Funeral Home 19 McArthur Avenue, Carleton Place.

Depending on the type of contract, there are a number of areas a lawyer’s expertise can provide guidance, including contracts relating to employment or contractor relationships, borrowing and secured transactions, equipment leases, and other commercial agreements. Simply because a document is short, this does not mean there aren’t important clauses or terms that require careful consideration.
A lawyer can meet with you for a short consultation in order to review your contractual document and answer any questions you might have. By communicating to the lawyer your expectations of the proposed contract, a lawyer can work with you to achieve your goals as well as highlight and help you understand risks and liabilities that you or your business may be taking on as part of the contract.
Contracts often contain important clauses relating to the limitation of liability, indemnification, and the waiver of important legal rights. Such clauses can have legal and financial implications for you or your business down the road. Understanding these implications is crucial and one of the services a lawyer can provide.
If you have some questions about a contract and feel you may benefit from meeting with a lawyer call and ask to set up a meeting.

Cake walk at Sacred Heart raises $32,000 for local charities John Brummell john.brummell@metroland.com
The Sacred Heart High School atrium was the place to be on May 6 to be able to experience a real sugar rush as one by one the students and staff brought in their cake creations. An annual event for the past 16 years, the event began with the majority of cakes being prepared by the teachers. Back then, the school’s original goal was to raise at least a $1,000 to be able to donate towards a Special Olympian. After funds were tallied after the first year, the school had raised $2,000. That extra money allowed them to sponsor a second Special Olympian. These days the students have really jumped on board to create some breathtak-
ing examples of cake artistry, such as a cake representing six-footlong alligator, and a race track and spectator stand complete with race cars zipping around the track. This year’s event has raised $32,000 bringing the 16 year event total to approximately $200,000. For weeks prior to the cake day, students from each class room collect and raise money for cake auction day. Once counted, the rooms are ranked as to which class raised the most to the least and students get to choose a cake for their room based on their finish. The funds raised are divided amongst several charities such as School Box Nicaragua, Free the Children, the Stittsville Food Bank PHOTOS BY JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND Sacred Heart teacher Mr. Paquin applies whipped and Brain Tumour Re- A colourful cake complete with a crowded grand stand and an opera- cream as finishing touches to his cake search. tional race track drew a lot of attention during the annual cake auction

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
May 10, 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.

Ontario continues study, while other provinces cover eye procedure Continued from page 23
One of Jennifer’s two employers was also of great help to the family, she noted Joshua was able to have the surgery on Dec. 3 last year. His right eye is now stabilized, and he has useable sight out of that eye, though he has to hold screens and books very close to his face to read. His left eye, however, had too much scar tissue and, despite the surgery, is almost useless now. Jennifer and Joshua hope that a special kind of contact lens can help improve his sight, but those cost about $2,000, said Jennifer. Joshua may also undergo a corneal transplant in his left eye. The transplant involves removing a portion of the patient’s cornea and replacing it with donor cornea tissue, said Mintsioulis. With that procedure, the patient may reject the donor tissue and – even when successful – the keratoconus disease can take hold years down the road if cross-linking is not also performed, he said. It’s also much more invasive, said Mintsioulis. But cornea transplants are covered by OHIP. “It’s basically, ‘Well, when you’re blind we’ll do something about it,” said Joshua. He and Jennifer said they were both disappointed with the government’s lack of support for cross-linking, especially since it has been done in Ontario since 2008 and in parts of Europe since 1998. According to a CBC report, five provinces and one territory cover the cost of cross-linking. Asked why Ontario does not cover the surgery, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care outlined its process for considering whether to cover the cost of new medical innovations. In 2011, the ministry began a threeyear pilot project where the surgery would be covered at Kensington Health in Toronto but nowhere else. While the pilot ended in 2015, the results have yet to be finalized and a second phase of the pilot has been funded. Asked whether the ministry considers the research of other provinces and territories, a ministry representative responded that it does, but said it awaits the results of its pilot project. “The procedure is working and it is helping individuals prevent the problem,” said Mintsioulis, adding that cross-linking is a better option than a cornea transplant. “I think, yes, cross-linking does work. Otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it.” Anyone interested in supporting the Fayles can contact them by emailing joshsmama@hotmail.ca.

The 20th annual Diefenbooker Classic broke fundraising records, bringing in more than $23,000 for local libraries in West Carleton. Runners, walkers and cyclists enjoyed a gorgeous day on Saturday, April 30, coming out in droves to support the Carp, Fitzroy Harbour and Constance Bay libraries. The local branches were the true winners as the event raised a whopping $23,392 through online and inperson donations. The 780 participants chose from a variety of events that ranged from cycling 5-km, 18-km or 33-km, and running 5- or 10-km routes. There were a number of shorter trails for younger crowd. “It was fabulous,” said Kathy Fischer, committee member, following the event. “This year was a record in funds raised.” She added the help of volunteers is always a key component to the Diefenbooker and thanked the numerous people, businesses and organizations involved. “Volunteers are the backbone to any community event,” said Fischer. “Thank you to all of the people who gave time and effort in supporting the Diefenbooker Classic 2016.”

City on the road to using photo radar
Got Events?

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee set the wheels in motion on May 4 for a photo radar program that will enforce speed limits in some school zones. The motion, originally the brainchild of River Coun. Riley Brockington, will petition the province for the power to use photo radar and reduce the speed limit of some residential roads. The motion gives ward councillors the option to request radar be used in specific neighbourhoods, and reduce the speed of residential roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40. Just before the committee meeting, Mayor Jim Watson, who crafted the original motion with committee chair Coun. Keith Egli, sent out a memo in support of photo radar technology. The only caveat was that it be used in school zones and revenue collected through fines be put in a special account to be used for â&#x20AC;&#x153;road safetyâ&#x20AC;? measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale roll-out of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,â&#x20AC;? Watson wrote in the memo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or for those who are concerned with the tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.â&#x20AC;? Despite the fact that the motion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with an amend-

ment from Osgoode Coun. George Darouze that asks the province for the power to ticket out-of-province drivers for infractions related to photo radar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; passed unanimously, debate lasted five hours.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will force this city to have a conversation about speeding and what we are going to do about it.â&#x20AC;? COUN. RILEY BROCKINGTON
Brockington, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit on the transportation committee, said he realizes the issue is a contentious one, but wants the city to start cracking down on speeding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a basic right to safety,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will force this city to have a conversation about speeding and what we are going to do about it.â&#x20AC;? Chelsey Wynne, who spoke on behalf of the Blackburn Community Association, said her area fears for the safety of their kids, who attend schools off of busy Innes Road. Wynne said many parents worry about kids walking to school, because of the high speeds of drivers.
Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s example just highlighted the problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want their kids walking, so they drive them, creating this self-perpetuating cycle,â&#x20AC;? he said. Many of those who spoke at the meeting felt the pilot program didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go far enough. Kevin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell, from Kitchissippi Ward, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being offered if it moves the issue forward. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell said he remembers a time when he road to Montreal in the family van without a seat belt. He said we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of doing that today, and he hopes to one day look back and say â&#x20AC;&#x153;remember when we used to go 70 (km per hour) in a 40 zone?â&#x20AC;? Michael Powell, from Safe Streets Ottawa, said using photo radar isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-inventing the wheel, as other jurisdictions have already used the technology. Powell said the intersection of Booth Street and Gladstone Drive has two schools, daycares and a church. Despite this, people are going significantly above the speed limit. A speed board installed in 2012 showed that 56 per cent of drivers went over the posted limit. Julianne Vogt, from the Ottawa Safety Council â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is responsible for staffing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adult crossing guards and the heads of the walking school bus program,
said crossing guards are the eyes on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know speed is an issue,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding the organization has â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of little feet to protect.â&#x20AC;? A staff report, presented by the manager of traffic services, said Quebec â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which has photo radar across the province â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has seen compliance with the posted speed limit catapult to 85 per cent from 40 where the radars are being used. Phil Landry said it will take a year for city staff to develop a plan for the pilot project once the approvals are in place. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt expressed concern about signage and potential reallocation of police officers as a result of the technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see this take the place of officers on the roads,â&#x20AC;? Moffatt said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about changing behaviours.â&#x20AC;? Scott Nystedt, a superintendent with Ottawa police, said there are no plans to reduce the number of officers. He said photo radar would simply be one tool the city could use to reduce speeds. Douglas Kirkland, a former police officer, said that radars should be implemented across the city, not just in select wards, otherwise speeders will gravitate to the areas they know are not being monitored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!
Nortrax is very pleased to announce the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art facility in Ottawa just off of Highway 7 west of Stittsville happened on May 5. The new flagship location at 190 David Manchester Rd., near the junction of Highways 7 and 417 will serve the construction, forestry, and quarry business in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. The new 33,000 square foot facility includes a 12 bay service centre, designed to easily accommodate the larger production-class equipment offered by John Deere. In addition to an expanded parts warehouse, product support and a technology showroom, the building is designed to be expandable for future growth.

Italian Week looking to attract the younger generation to 2016 event Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Organizers of Italian Week this year are hoping to attract a younger generation of attendees with a more vibrant and exciting lineup of events and entertainment. The 42nd annual event, taking place June 9 to 19, is
incorporating the traditional appeal of the festival with some modern flare, said the event’s president Tony Mariani. “We want to get the second, third and fourth generations to come,” Mariani said. “We have to do something to attract them.” So organizers have invited
Louis Prima Jr., son of Las Vegas performer Louis Prima, and his band to perform on June 17 and 18, as well as DJ Tatiana, an electronic dance DJ from Denver, Colo. “It’s not oom pah pah, it’s dance music,” Mariani said of the entertainment lineup for this year’s event in June. The theme of the festival
this year is “being Italian.” Last year, organizers surveyed those attending the festival to find out why they were taking part in the festivities. The top four reasons were tradition, the food and patio atmosphere, car parade and seeing friends. Mariani said that was kept in mind when revamping the
festival for this year. Italian Week starts June 9 with a flag-raising ceremony at city hall and a reception. The event kicks off on Preston Street on June 10 with a launch party gala and dance party at Sala San Marco, at 215 Preston St. The same night, Frank Spadone, a Toronto-based comedian, takes
the stage at Absolute Comedy. For the grand finale weekend, June 17-19, Preston Street will be closed from Pamilla Street to Poplar Street for Italian Week favourites – the Ferrari Festival and the Italian car parade. There will also be children’s attractions, movies, Father’s Day activities, music, food and more.

Coalition urges transit commission to approve low-income pass Single mother speaks on behalf of low-income bus pass users Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Lisa Quesnel, a single mother of three, said she sometimes has to miss work because she can’t afford to buy a bus pass until her next paycheque. She said that when her kids were younger, she’d sometimes walk 35 minutes to pick them up to save money on bus fare. Quesnel added that it can be a self-perpetuating cycle, because she would miss work because she couldn’t afford a bus pass and then she’d have less money on her next cheque. And there was nowhere to turn. Even though she was receiving top-up from Ontario Works, as long as she was working it was her responsibility to get a bus pass, she said. Quesnel’s story isn’t unique. A city staff report on a low-income bus pass suggests there are about 8,800 transit users who don’t
qualify for the discounted community pass or seniors pass. A full price adult bus pass is $103.75 per month; a lot of money if you make minimum wage and only get 25 to 30 hours of work per week, like Quesnel. The city’s transit commission will vote on two options on May 9, one that would offer a low-income bus pass at the same rate as that of a student. It’s roughly a 24 per cent price break on an adult pass and would cost the city $1.4 million, according to the report. The other option would be to be to offer a 62 per cent price break. That would bring the price down to $58. It would cost $3.3 million, according to the report. More than 40 social service agencies, including the Healthy Transportation Coalition and Making Voices Count, have expressed support for the initiative. “It’s a step in the right direction,” said Trevor Haché, from the Healthy Transportation Coalition. Haché said if the city wants to encourage the public to use transit – as it suggests in the 2013 transportation master plan – they have to work on making access equitable. While there’s still a lot of work
to be done – namely eliminating the top-up for users who have a community pass and ride Para Transpo, Haché said it’s a good start. Commission chair Coun. Stephen Blais said during the com-
mission’s budget meeting that eliminating the top-up is a priority. Haché said the coalition has put together a petition, which had 2,200 signatures in the week before commission’s meeting.

Dozens assess north Kanata bike lanes, trails in morning blitz Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
There were dozens of cyclists on a mission in Kanata North on May 4, aiming to improve cycling infrastructure throughout the ward. EnviroCentre, a not-forprofit organization that offers services and programs aimed at conserving energy and improving the environment, held the Cycle-In event as part of its Sustain
Kanata North initiative. Cyclists were invited to travel from the edges of the ward to the Kanata North tech park on their bikes via five different routes as they took notes, photos and videos of their experiences and cycling infrastructure as they went. The trips began at 7 a.m., and they met an hour later at 555 Legget Dr. for their observations to be shared. As the roughly 30 cyclists
who took part in the event send in their photos and videos of their experiences as well, EnviroCentre will put together a report, which they hope to have ready later this spring, said Julie Gourley, program co-ordinator for Sustain Kanata North. About 21,000 people are directly employed in the Kanata North tech park area, and about half of those live within a five-kilometre radius. That’s a great distance for cy-

Dozens of cyclers and their supporters gather at the Kanata North technology park after participating in EnviroCentre’s Cycle-In event on May 4. The event had cyclers take various routes to the tech park, while taking notes, photos and video to document the state of cycling routes, as well as what repairs or improvements might be needed. cling she said. “I thought it went well,” Gourley said of the event, adding that though some chilly weather may have deterred some cyclists, she was happy with the turnout. Long-time cycler and Carp resident Tim Sparling participated in the ride and said, based on what he saw, cycling infrastructure is improving, but still has a long way to go. He and Kanata Lakes resident Monna-Leigh McElveny – both members of the Kanata Nepean Bike Club –

rode from Old Second Line Road and Old Carp Road and down Terry Fox Drive. One of the issues they noticed is the bike lane along Terry Fox Drive ends abruptly at March Road. McElveny added that, in general, greater education about what the rules are regarding cyclists needs to be shared with both drivers and cyclists. The group of cyclists were greeted by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who unveiled the recently

Concussions bring NHL player back home to Kanata Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Like so many hockey players, competing in the NHL was Darroll Powe’s dream. Standing just 5-foot-11 and never a “first line guy” by his own admission, Powe made it to pro hockey anyway – a dream come true and born of hard work and a passion for the game. He had a career playing for the Philadelphia Flyers, the Minnesota Wild and the New York Rangers, and some of their American Hockey League farm teams, from 2006 to 2015. But more frequent and worsening concussions shook him awake and out of the dream. He returned home to Kanata to settle down and work a desk job in February. So far Powe says he doesn’t feel any fallout from the many concussions he sustained, though he notes it may be too early to tell for sure. He admits he has been lucky compared to others. Asked whether it was worth it, he said unequivocally, “One hundred per cent. I got to live my dream for five, six years. It was an amazing time. “Would I have done things differently? I don’t know … but I got to have a great experience and I feel OK right now and hopefully that’s the case for the rest of my life. It was an awesome time while it lasted. No
DARROLL POWE
complaints.” Like many Canadian kids, Powe started skating at just a few years old and soon began playing hockey. Born in Saskatoon, Powe moved to Kanata for high school, attending Earl of March Secondary School and playing for the Kanata Valley Lasers, then the Kanata Stallions when the team was renamed. Playing as a power forward, Powe was generally a third or fourth line guy, he said, but nurtured a dream of playing hockey in college. Powe said he remembers attending a post-secondary hockey game with his teammates. “That kind of sold it,” he said. “It was an amazing atmosphere and the chance to go to school and be in that atmosphere and play, that was my
goal at that time.” “I was always a good student so when Princeton (University) came knocking I was thrilled and it gave me an opportunity to kind of live my dream at that point,” said Powe. “The time I got into Princeton I remember jumping up and down, high-fiving my parents. That was the biggest moment of my life at that point.” The moment wouldn’t be topped for several years when, after gaining some attention at a tryout, he was told after a warmup that his first NHL game would be that same night. It was Oct. 24, 2008. “I was never on NHL radar, I don’t think ever, even coming out of university,” said Powe. A shot at the NHL was something he hoped for but nothing he expected, until it happened. “It was surreal,” he said. “It was in New Jersey so all the guys I had played with at school, they drove up and watched and it was pretty cool.” Powe described himself as a player who “did what he had to do.” “Some guys make it, they are first line guys throughout all junior and everything and some how end up on a team. I was kind of like a third line guy no matter what team I played for really. So my role was to go out and hit guys and kill some penalties and be physical.”
According to sports reports, Powe’s stats rarely reflected his value as a player who blocked shots, created shorthanded opportunities, was useful in the faceoff circle and brought energy. Asked what he thinks got him to the NHL, he says, “I think I just loved it. It never feels like work when you love something … if you don’t love it you are probably not going to do the work you need to make it happen.” Despite his physical style of play, injuries were rarely a problem for Powe, except when it came to concussions. Eventually it was concussions that convinced Powe is was time to leave hockey. Though he can’t put a number on how many he has had, he says they ranged from a concussion or two in high school – which at the time he probably would have denied – to a recurring and worsening injury that kept him out of commission for months near the end of his career. “I guess my first bad one was my third game in the NHL,” said Powe. “And it was an innocent play. It was actually my linemate who went to go hit a guy and I was kind of caught in between them and the boards and went in head first, and it wasn’t fun.” See DARROLL, page 65

Hydro Rates Increase…Again Brace yourselves, constituents! On May 1st, Ontarians experienced another rate increase on their hydro bills. Annual energy costs for the average family are going up by $37.56. Ontario has the fastest rising rates of any province or state in North America. Across the province, Ontarians - whether they’re young families or seniors - are struggling to make ends meet and pay off their hydro bill. Companies also see these scary rates as barriers for doing good business in Ontario. Everyone loses as energy becomes more expensive from Government waste and mismanagement in Ontario’s energy sector.

Bologna a special treat whenever we visited Briscoe’s
B
riscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County. If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store. Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept. And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds. It was a big fat roll of bologna ... of course, we simply called it balony back then. I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker
MARY COOK Memories jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band. Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony, too.” He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it
right on the spot. And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise. Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished
he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the world. Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion. They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages. No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home ... without Mother seeing of course. Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that de-

manded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all. “Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday school voice. “Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?” He dropped the candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me. Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine. Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

That resulted in a couple weeks of sleeping it off, and an unnerving balancing game between resting long enough to be fully recovered and having a spot on the roster. “Two games into my career I was excited and wanting to get back and play and prove myself and live that dream and wondering if I’m ever going to get another opportunity,” he said. “I think that’s kind of a pattern throughout my career injury-wise is with the head stuff you’re always battling how you feel … but you have to battle getting back in the lineup and protecting your job and all that too.” Powe continued to play and continued to love the competition and camaraderie of the NHL, but the concussions kept coming. “They dragged out longer and longer and symptoms kept getting worse as things went on, to the point where I spent half of my last season in

He had the opportunity to continue doing as a guest coach at Garth Brooks’s Teammates for Kids Foundation ProCamp in Stittsville in early April. “One of the most rewarding things about playing was the fact that you could walk into a room and you know change 20 kids’ lives just by showing up and reading a book or something like that,” said Powe. As for his concussions, Powe said injury is a reality of any physical sport, especially at an elite level. While the NHL and other levels of hockey continue to improve their response to it, the most pressure comes from within, he said. The bottom line is you have to be honest with yourself and feel ready to get back out on the ice. “Make sure you take care of yourself first because if you don’t take care of yourself, it’s not going to work out for you on the ice anyways,” said Powe.

He is now 30 years old. He and his young family returned to Kanata in February, where he took a job with Freedom 55 Financial as a financial security adviser. Transitioning from professional athlete to desk-jockey is still a bit of a challenge but Powe is enjoying the new challenge, he said. Asked what advice he might have for young hockey players who harbour the same dream he did, he said, “Whether it be working out outside the game or playing and losing, you’ve got to see value in everything in the game. “And one of the things I probably didn’t do as well as I could have was just not take everything so seriously … it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun.” One of his important take-

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A restless spirit is the catalyst for a new project, Aries. This week you dive right into something that will take up all of your mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, thanks to your hectic schedule, achieving lofty goals this week may be a stretch, so aim for something a little more manageable and celebrate the achievement. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, though you may be content to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others, you really can show just how compelling you are. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer. All you have to do is reach out for assistance. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have many good reasons to throw caution to the wind this week, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Listen carefully to your intuition this week, Virgo. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences. Focus on your dreams for a bit.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when things become complicated, you’re the person people often seek to iron out the situation. You have a way of quickly getting to the root of a problem. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you have a measured and methodical approach to your goals. This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Consider your words before sharing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth. Word things carefully. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Your self-esteem soars this week when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces. 0512
