A Gladue report is a type of presentencing and bail hearing report that a Canadian court can request when considering sentencing an offender of Aboriginal background under the Criminal Code. Gladue was the first case to challenge this section of the Criminal Code. The process derives its name from “R. v. Gladue” a 1999 Supreme Court of Canada decision. [ In keeping with the so-called Gladue Principle, in criminal sentencing in Canada, a court is required to take into account all reasonable alternatives to incarcerations, with particular attention to Aboriginal offenders. This is not an automatic “get-out-of-jail-free card.” Rather it requires the court to take into account circumstances facing Aboriginal peoples. Where the crime is relatively minor, the court should consider Aboriginal-based sentencing principles such as restorative justice. This incorporates community members and the victim in determining a fit sentence. However, where the crime is more serious, courts will generally find that the Gladue Principle is inappropriate and consider more traditional sentencing objectives such as protection of the public and deterrence. Jamie Tanis Gladue was a young Cree woman charged with second-degree murder after stabbing her common-law husband during an altercation. At the trial, Ms. Gladue pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Ms. Gladue had no criminal record other than an impaired driving conviction. Regarding her sentencing, the Supreme Court noted: “ ... a sentence of three years’ imprisonment was not unreasonable. More importantly, the accused was granted, subject to cer-
tain conditions, day parole after she had served six months in a correctional centre and then was granted full parole with the same conditions. The results of the sentence with incarceration for six months and the subsequent controlled release were in the interests of both the accused and society. Gladue was the first case to challenge the law regarding sentencing before the courts. The resolution developed by the Holy Spirit CWL was presented at the 94th Ottawa Diocesan CWL Convention where it was voted on and passed on April 29. The resolution was then presented by the Ottawa Diocesan CWL president at the 70th Ontario Provincial CWL Convention in Thunder Bay where resolution team member Louise Beggs spoke to it. After considerable discussion and amendments, the resolution was passed on July 11. The chair of the Ontario provincial resolution committee of the CWL of Canada then presented the amended resolution to the 97th annual National CWL Convention in Charlottetown, P.E.I. After more discussion, the resolution calling for full implementation of the Supreme Court Decision in “R. v Gladue” was voted on and passed on Aug. 9. A delegation from the CWL of Canada national council meets annually with the federal government in Ottawa. This resolution about full implementation of the Supreme Court decision regarding Indigenous offenders (Gladue principle) will be presented at the next meeting between the CWL national council delegation and federal government representatives. This successful resolution which started 18
months ago with the Holy Spirit Parish CWL The Holy Spirit CWL was formed seven and is the first resolution to have come from the Ot- a half years ago. The CWL in Canada has a tawa Diocese in over ten years. membership of 83,000 women.

Grassroot Grannies are out to turn the tide again with ride BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
The Grassroot Grannies are about to get on their bicycles and start pedalling for a good cause again as the 8th annual Ride To Turn The Tide event is slated to start on Sept. 6 in Stittsville. The event is in support of African Grandmothers by way of the Stephen Lewis Fo u n d a t i o n ’s “Grandmothers to Grandmothers” campaign. Local grandmothers and grandfathers are expected to participate in the three-day cycling fundraiser to
show support and raise money for African grandmothers whose lives have been impacted by HIV/AIDS. This year’s ride is set to start at 9 a.m. when those participating will depart from the Bushtukah location at 5607 Hazeldean Rd. and are expected to return
on Sept. 8 in the early afternoon to the Bushtukah outlet at 203 Richmond Rd. in the Westboro neighbourhood. The cyclists will pass through Ashton, Appleton, Almonte, Perth, Merrickville and Metcalfe on the ride. Riders pay their
own costs for the ride and seek sponsors. They hope to raise $55,000 this year with all proceeds going to the Stephen Lewis Foundation. For more information or to make a donation for the cause, go to www.grassrootgrannies.com.

ability. “Based on recent studies and the data that has come forward, the ultimate goal here is to look at providing both a safe and clean environment and offer the connection to programs of rehabilitation in which to help those struggling,” Qadri said. The pop-up operation in Ottawa, which Ottawa police are monitoring but have not stopped as of the beginning of this week, comes at a time when some health care professionals in Ontario have called on the provincial governmnent to declare opioid overdoses and deaths a public health emergency. Such a declaration has been made in British Columbia. Qadri said supervised injection services (SIS), such as that coming to the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, must apply to the feds to receive an exemption from the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in order to operate. “The group that is taking on the pop-up SIS initiative have no formal legal construct, nor have they initiated any application to the federal government for an exemption,” Qadri said.

The GRC’s pool is expected to be closed until Sept. 8 to allow for the annual maintenance work to be undertaken. As well, the facility’s gymnasium and weight cardio room is expected to also to be closed until Sept. 4 According to the city, “this annual maintenance is important for ensuring the facility remains in good shape for all users throughout the year.” While the work is done, office hours at the GRC front desk remains Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. The ice rink at the GRC remains open during the maintenance work. The GRC will be closed on Labour Day Sept. 4. — Brian Dryden

We must help Mother Nature
O
ne cost $3.5 million. One was free. One was spectacular, attracting 750,000 onlookers in Ottawa. The other was awesome, attracting millions in North America. One was manmade, the product of human technology. The other was Mother Nature-made, the result of this marvellous solar system of ours. We are referring to, on the one hand, La Machine, the French street theatre production featuring two huge streetwalking creatures, a horse-dragon and a giant spider. They were even given names — Long Ma and Kumo. It took 34 manipulators to guide this spider and dragon-horse through the streets of the Byward Market and beyond. Their four-day sojourn here in late July cost $3.5 million from the Ottawa 2017 coffers. And, on the other hand, there is the solar eclipse which captured the attention and imagination of not only Ottawa residents, but people all across North America on Monday, Aug. 21. It attracted widespread interest, being broadcast on television and certainly talked about in workplace and
home venues everywhere. You had folks making pinhole viewing devices and getting together with workplace buddies to experience the eclipse. Y ou had 5,000 flocking to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum to latch onto a pair of safety solar glasses, allowing them to look directly at the eclipse or to peer through telescopes set up by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. To have two such spectacular happenings take place within weeks of each other has been a treat that may become the best remembered of the Canada 150 events taking place in Ottawa this year. One showed the ingenuity of man. T he other showed the ingenuity of Mother Nature. Going forward, we can only hope that the ingenuity of man as shown with Long Ma and Kumo will be deployed and used to save this incredible world of ours and allow Mother Nature to continue to amaze us on a daily basis, not just at times of eclipses. The planet is under stress these days due to human excesses and pollution. The resulting climate change has to be reversed or else.
No such thing as gifted students anymore
L
ast fall, parents in the OttawaCarleton District School Board were outraged when the board determined it may eliminate some gifted programming. In place of specialized classes — particularly at the primary level — it was determined that it would be more cost-effective to incorporate those identified early as gifted into the regular classroom with extra learning support teachers and programs. It was a political hot potato. Advocates of gifted programs expressed outrage at the decision, declaring that their young prodigies were not just intellectually, but socially disparate from their peers. It has been the predominant sentiment for decades that gifted children, as with others identified with special needs, thrive best in segregated classrooms with a curriculum that is independently tailored to their abilities.

What kind of message does it send to young children to pick them out from the pack at a young age and put them on a pedestal of learning next to their peers? The authors instead advocate for teaching in the classroom that regularly conditions and challenges all students to learn at their level of potential, which, short of cognitive impairment, is likely high. It’s difficult to say whether this will work in practice. But the last decade of brain research has flipped everything we know about learning on its head.

This “Picnic in the Park” will also include a ceremony to celebrate the renaming of the park from the W.J. Bell Memorial Park to the W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park.

Grace Bell is a member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville. * Weddings at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road have been Anthony DiRienzo and Jenna Balazic on July 22 and Christopher Lesaux and Lindsay Service on Aug. 19.
Notice of Commencement Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Transit Project Assessment Process The Project As part of planning for Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) program, an opportunity has been identified to extend LRT from the current planned western terminus of the Confederation Line (Bayshore Station) approximately 2.5 km further west to Moodie Drive, with one station located east of Moodie Drive at Corkstown Road and a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility in the northwest quadrant of Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road. The rationale for extending LRT beyond the previously identified terminus at Bayshore is to: • Provide an LRT station in closer proximity to a large employment node (Department of National Defence complex) • Support a Maintenance and Storage Facility for the operation of the Confederation Line East and West extensions in the west with optimized operational and cost benefits. The alignment for the proposed LRT extension has been previously approved as part of the West Transitway Extension Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive project, and is currently under construction as a BRT facility, with revenue operation expected to commence in late 2017. The Process Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report will be prepared by the proponent, the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program. During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the project studies and consultation information will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion. Consultation Interested persons are invited to review the work completed to date during the planning phase including a study summary, previous consultation efforts and reports presented to City Council, which are available on the Stage 2 website. Given the timing and the requirement to incorporate this section into the Stage 2 Request for Proposals process, it is anticipated that the City will issue the Notice of Completion in early September 2017 (which is within the maximum 120-day period in the TPAP Regulation). Notification will be provided in advance of the formal 30-day public review period. Further information on the TPAP is available at: Ontario.ca/document/guide-environmental-assessmentrequirements-transit-projects To Submit Comments If you have project-related questions or comments, or have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact the Project Manager on behalf of the proponent, the City of Ottawa: Mike Schmidt Planner II O-Train Planning 180 Elgin St, Suite 601 Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2K3 www.stage2lrt.ca Email: stage2@ottawa.ca Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record as per the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA).

* Aidan Saunders, who graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in June, is now attending the International People’s College in Denmark. At the International People’s College, students create their own schedule from a curriculum with more than 30 different subjects. There are no exams or grades. Instead, each student is expected to be motivated to learn, based on personal interest. Learning at the International People’s College is meant to challenge, stimulate and educate a student. Subjects offered are in three broad groupings — Global Challenges such as current affairs and environmental studies, Global Life and Living such as drama, arts and crafts and African studies, and Global Tools 4 Change such as creative writing, photography and sustainable gardening. * The Probus Club of Western Ottawa, which welcomes members from Stittsville, will have Ottawa birder Bruce Di Labio as the guest speaker at its meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 33 Leacock Drive in Kanata. The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. with coffee, followed by the Di Labio presentation about birds in the Ottawa region. Bruce Di Labio has had a lifelong passion and career in the field of birding. He has
worked for the Canadian Museum of Nature in ornithology and also for the Canadian Nature Federation as a staff naturalist. He has been a teacher and tour leader for beginning birders. He also leads birding tours to many Canadian destinations and has authored numerous articles on birding. The Probus Club of Western Ottawa welcomes new members. For more information about the club, please contact Mary Jones at 613-828-9759. * When Jennifer McGahan Interiors was renovating the former Lytle home on Stittsville Main Street in the downtown area of Stittsville, she replaced the roof, taking off the old worn tin roofing that had been in place. When Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm heard that she was replacing the tin roof, he acted quickly and contacted Jennifer to see if Saunders Farm could have the old tin roofing. This proved to be a win-win because not only was the old tin roofing saved from the waste stream but Saunders Farm is able to use the old tin roofing when constructing new “Haunting Season” attractions at the farm. The tin roofing, in fact, is being used on one of the farm’s new “Haunting Season” attractions this year.

CFUW/Kanata presents scholarship awards SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
September 10, 2017
THE RIDE takes to the streets! Our cyclists are coming to a street near you on September 10. For full road closure details, where you can cheer on our cyclists or to register, go to: dotheride.ca
The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW)/ Kanata is helping four female high school graduates achieve their post-secondary education goals. All four have received CFUW/Kanata scholarship awards. This will help one who is going to study criminology and criminal justice and another who is registered in concurrent education. Another recipient is off to Toronto to study cosmetics and cosmetics management while another will become an esthetician, an occupation which will allow her to earn money as she continues her studies, picking up credits toward becoming a social worker which is her ultimate goal.
One recipient is Elsie Galley, a South Carleton High School graduate, while another is Holly Pacholik from Frederick Banting Alternate Program in Stittsville. The other two are Ayla Suprey from Holy Trinity Catholic High School and Susannah Finan from All Saints Catholic High School, both in Kanata.
All four students achieved high academic averages, participate in school clubs and demonstrated leadership. CFUW/Kanata raises funds each year through various activities to provide scholarships and bursaries for local high school graduates who are continuing their studies at university

CFUW is a nonpartisan, voluntary, self-funded organization with CFUW clubs located in every province across Canada. Since its founding in 1919, CFUW has been working to improve the status of women and to promote human rights, public education, social justice and peace in society.

Gas iron made Mother hot under the collar
I
t wasn’t like every other Saturday morning. Mother had loaded the Model T the night before for all her door-to-door deliveries in Renfrew that she did every week. But that Saturday was different. Mrs. Stewart, (we called her the ‘rich Mrs. Stewart’) had also ordered two dozen of Mother’s sticky buns with her usual order of eggs, butter and one fat chicken. That meant I would have to help Mother take the order to the kitchen door. This meant that I’d get another peek into the kitchen, which was almost as big as our whole house! Mother rapped gently, and the door was opened by Mrs. Stewart herself, and I could see she was ironing. But it wasn’t like our ironing board on the farm that she was using. This board had its own legs, not like ours, which was really only a rough board, wrapped in flannelette sheets, and when used was put on the backs of two chairs. And the irons had to be heated on the hot elements of our cook stove before you could use them. But Mrs. Stewart’s iron sure was different. It had a bulb affair at one end, and what looked like a pipe going upwards. “This is a brand new type of iron, Mrs. Haneman,” Mrs. Stewart said when she saw us looking at it. “It heats with gas.” She looked as proud as punch, as if she had just discovered gold! “And it heats very quickly ... far quicker than the electric plug-in I can tell you.” She propped it on its end, and I could hear it sizzle, and steam came out onto the damp and starched doily she was ironing. Mrs. Stewart made some comment that Mother should have a gas iron, since she was pretty sure
MARY COOK Memories we had no electricity on the farm, and it would sure beat heating the flat irons on the cook stove. Mother already had her money in her purse, her hand on the doorknob, and was pushing me out onto the street. It seemed all she was interested in was getting far away from Mrs. Stewart’s swanky house with the gas iron, and as fast as possible. She plopped into the Model T, let out a big sigh and then put her head down on the steering wheel. “Whew,” she said, as if she had just been relieved of some heavy load. “Whew,” she said again. I dared to ask her what all the fuss was about. “Did you see that iron? Well, let me tell you about a gas iron my friend Rosy had in her New York apartment. It looked just like that one too.” Mother was breathing hard, as if the memory was causing her pain. “The first time Rosy used it, she
called me in from next door to see this new invention. Well! It hissed, it sputtered, and the blue smoke came out of it, and then there was this big puff. It hit the ceiling, taking Rosie’s husband’s best white shirt with it, and there was a hole in the ceiling as big as a pumpkin.” Mother took a hanky out of her purse and wiped her forehead. The memory almost too much for her. “No thank you. I’ll stick with the flat irons I heat on the cook stove until we get electricity.” And I knew that wasn’t going to happen any time soon. Mother started the car, driving away from the curb and headed down to the main street. She was still running down the gas iron of Mrs. Stewart’s when we hit the Northcote Side Road a couple hours later. She said we were lucky to get out of that house alive, and she was sure that one day we’d read in the Renfrew Mercury about a gas iron explosion at one of the richest houses in Renfrew!

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Sir. John A. Who? Last week the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario decided that the idea of maintaining and teaching Canadian history means nothing to them. At their annual general meeting the OETF passed a resolution saying they believed that any school bearing the name of Sir. John A. Macdonald should be renamed because some people may take offence to the name of the founding father of Canada. Macdonald’s vision of a united British North America and a transcontinental railroad connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific, was what brought us together as a dominion 150 years ago. But in this historic year it seems the OETF believe that Canada’s first prime minister is not worthy of celebration, is not worth of commemoration for all the good he did for Canada.

The Keep Ontario Working Coalition (KOW), in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and the West Ottawa Board of Trade released the first and only independent economic impact analysis of Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act. Conducted by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), the study revealed that if the legislation is implemented as currently drafted, there will be significant, sudden and sizable uncertainty for Ontario jobs, economy and communities. The Orleans Chamber of Commerce, Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and West Ottawa Board of Trade are working together with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and local stakeholders, including local Business Improvement Areas to advocate for amendments to Bill 148 that will ensure its intended outcomes. We strongly advise the government to consider the results of the economic analysis and act accordingly.

The OETF are doing this they say because of Macdonald’s role in the residential school system. They have a fair point, Macdonald did play a role in the creation of a system that was responsible for terrible crimes against our indigenous peoples. But we cannot expect the leaders of the past to stand up to modern standards of morality, it simply isn’t possible. Every prime minister preceding Paul Martin was involved in the residential school system. So where does it end? Who is so virtuous a historical figure that they meet all of today’s standards? History is history, and we do not get to change what we don’t like about it.

FOOD & NEWS With the return of the school year comes the return of our regular committee schedule. During the summer months, Council will place all of the regular July meetings in the first two weeks of the month and place all of the August meetings toward the end of the month, thus creating somewhat of a break from Committee work. September 7th will be our next Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee following our last meeting in early July. Agenda items for this meeting include: • Zoning Amendment – 3926 Milton Road (Cumberland) • Zoning Amendment – 3455 Milton Road (Cumberland) • Zoning Amendment – 6690 Mitch Owens (Osgoode) • Zoning Amendment – 1430 Dunning Road (Cumberland) • Appointment of a Drainage Engineer for Wilson-Cowan Municipal Drain Also included is a report that includes some zoning by-law amendments to accommodate reconstruction efforts in parts of the city that were impacted by the severe flooding in May of this year. Another report is a quarterly Omnibus Zoning By-Law Amendment report, which we will receive a brief presentation on with regard to any impacts in the rural area. As always, ARAC meetings are held at Ben Franklin Place in Centrepointe in the former Nepean Council Chambers. Our meetings begin at 10:00am. All of the items listed above are available for review at Ottawa.ca or through our monthly e-Newsletter, which you can sign up for at RideauGoulbourn.ca. Proposed Site Alteration By-Law Last year, the City of Ottawa began a review of the current City By-Laws that regulate site alteration activities. Over the last several months, City staff have engaged with local residents, farming organizations and environmental groups to create a new Site Alteration By-Law for the City of Ottawa. The City’s goal with this new by-law is to prevent drainage problems, protect the productivity of soils in designated Agricultural Resource Areas, protect designated natural areas and other identified natural heritage features (such as significant woodlands and valleylands) from negative impacts, reduce the risk of root damage to City-owned trees or other trees protected under the City’s tree by-laws and to establish basic rules for how site alteration is done, to avoid impacts to neighbours and the environment. Ultimately, the driving force behind this proposal is the impacts on agricultural lands by those wishing to development. In some cases, we have seen land manipulation in an effort to downgrade land from agricultural to a use more compatible with development. One thing I would like to see in this bylaw is an outright exemption for normal agricultural activities. That exemption doesn’t yet exist. I would encourage any landowner or resident who has an interest in site alteration activities to review the draft by-law which is available on Ottawa.ca and to provide your feedback to City staff. As always, you can contact my office to receive a copy of the draft by-law, or to provide your comments. It is very important that the City received a variety of feedback on this matter from all parties impacted. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

The Goulbourn Male Chorus is looking for new members as it heads into a new season with a new music director. The chorus is welcoming men who would like to sing in this group. Currently, the Goulbourn Male Chorus draws men from all over the west end of Ottawa as well as rural Ottawa including West Carleton.

Chuck Mills joins Amsted SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Amsted Design-Build of Stittsville has won numerous awards for its home renovation projects. Similarly Chuck Mills Design has received an array of national, provincial and local design awards for its custom home and residential renovation projects. These two award-winning are now together as Chuck Mills Design has joined Amsted Design-Build with Chuck Mills becoming Amsted’s director of design, leading the company’s existing in-house department of architectural designers. Both Amsted Design-Build and Chuck Mills Design are familiar names in the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association’s Housing Design Awards. Amsted-Design Build is a six time award winner and 2017 Renovator of the Year finalist. Chuck Mills Design is a two time award winner and 2017 Designer of the Year finalist. “The decision to leave my own practice was not something I made light,” says Chuck Mills. “But selecting the company to join was an easy one. Having worked with Amsted for nearly two decades, I already knew it would be a good fit. The value they place on collaboration, communication and customer service was as important to me as a freelance designer as it is to me transitioning to a company as a full-time team member.” And Amsted Design-Build president Steve Barkhouse is happy to have Chuck Mills as a full-time member of the Amsted team. “As evidenced by his hard earned reputation and numerous awards, Chuck has a proven ability to deliver innovative, customized design solutions to his clients,” says Barkhouse. “His commitment to the customer experience fits perfectly with Amsted’s promise to deliver personalized service and a seamless process for all of
our homeowners.” Both Amsted Design-Build and Chuck Mills Design have been active in Ottawa’s residential housing industry for over 25 years, many times working together on a project. Both firms have exhibited the same values in their work, namely integrity, respect, loyalty and a commitment to excellence. Amsted Design-Build has been providing design and build services in the Ottawa area since 1989. The company has offices in Stittsville, Kitchissippi and New Edinburgh. It has been chosen Ontario Renovator of the Year twice and in 2017 was a finalist for both the Ontario and the Ottawa Renovator of the Year awards. Chuck Mills Design has been an architectural design firm with over 35 years of experience specializing in high end custom homes and residential renovation projects throughout the Ottawa area.

In addition, all of the regions of Canada are featured, with activities and trivia questions somewhere in the maze.

New Canada 150 corn maze at Saunders Farm Continued from page 16
Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm says they last had a corn maze about 10 years ago. He says in the intervening years, people have always asked about a corn maze at the farm, thinking there was one there. Well, now, a corn maze will be an annual attraction
at the farm from now on. Saunders Farm has a total of 10 mazes on its site, reportedly the largest collection of mazes at one spot in North America. This new Canada 150 corn maze was designed at a brainstorming session earlier this year, with the maze
planted in early June. The design and pathways were then cut out in midJune. Creating this corn maze this year at Saunders Farm was particularly challenging because of the weather. Saunders Farm has received more than double its monthly average rainfall each month since April. As recently as
three weeks ago, the corn in the maze was only about half of its expected height. Fortunately, the corn has really sprouted in recent weeks and has now achieved its height. The pumpkin crop at Saunders Farm was not so fortunate, as the wet spring weather prevented the pumpkins from growing properly. As a re-
sult, for this year’s Haunting Season, Saunders Farm will be obtaining its pumpkins from other suppliers. To visit this new Canada 150 corn maze at Saunders Farm, the farm is open from Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The farm is closed on Mondays, except for holiday Mondays.

Stittsville students learn about kidney disease SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It has been a summer job for Stittsville students Kristen Janzen and Mairi Liska but it has also turned out to be quite a learning experience as well. They both have become much more knowledgeable about kidney disease and the work of the Kidney Foundation. Kristen Jansen readily acknowledges that before working at the Kidney Foundation of Canada in Ottawa this summer, her knowledge about kidney disease was restricted to what she learned in her Grade 10 science class. Working at the Kidney Foundation has vastly increased her knowledge about kidney disease. She now knows that one in ten Canadians have kidney disease for which Submitted there is not yet any cure.

its role to support, engage, give hope and improve Canadians from coast to coast. As for Mairi Liska, another Stittsville student who has worked at the Kidney Foundation of Canada office on Courtwood Crescent in Ottawa, she says that her summer work at the foundation has given her a great awareness of kidney disease. Her summer work experience with the Kidney Foundation has also enhanced her awareness of the difference that local communities can make with regard to kidney disease by increasing awareness and fundraising. She notes that Stittsville will be hosting its annual Kidney Walk on Sunday, Sept. 10, providing an opportunity for members of the community to support those living with kidney disease in the community while also raising funds to help the Kidney Foundation in its work. The Stittsville Kidney Walk will start and finish at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. The 5K walk will take place along Stittsville Main Street, with participants walking from Stittsville United Church to Papa Sam’s at Beverly Street, turning around there to return to the church. Registration for the Kidney Walk will begin at 10 a.m. with the walk getting underway at 11 a.m. Last year the Stittsville Kidney Walk was one of over 110 such walks in communities across Canada. Each day 15 Canadians learn that their kidneys have failed and they will require dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive.
How to reduce the risk of getting flu at school School-aged kids who catch colds or the flu from their classmates can quickly spread those colds to their family members, who then might spread the colds further when they go to work. Preventing the spread of colds and flu at school is a team effort that requires the assistance of not just parents, but also teachers and students. Still, parents might be the first line of defense when it comes to preventing the spread of cold and flu at school. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 38 million school days are lost to the flu each year. Those lost days can affect students who miss lesson plans, but also affect parents, who often must take days off
from work to tend to their sick children. While there’s no way for parents to guarantee their children won’t catch a cold or the flu this school year, they can take various preventive measures to increase kids’ chances of staying healthy and achieving perfect attendance. Some of these measures are: • Make sure kids are immunized and that their immunizations are current. Vaccinations bolster kids’ immune systems. That’s important, as kids’ immune systems are naturally less mature than adults’, making them more vulnerable to germs and viruses. The CDC recommends that adults and children receive their flu vaccinations in October while noting that such vaccinations can be administered
as late as January and still prove effective. The CDC also recommends that adults and children receive flu vaccinations each year. Additional vaccinations may not need to be administered as often, but parents should still ensure kids’ are up-to-date with their shots. • Make sure kids regularly wash their hands. Kids often catch colds by rubbing their hands that have been exposed to cold virus germs on their noses or eyes. To prevent that, parents can teach kids to wash to their hands thoroughly, including scrubbing the backs of their hands, between their fingers and around their fingernails. Kids should know to wash their hands regularly, but especially after they use the bathroom and before they eat, drink or touch their mouths, noses or

eyes. • Keep kids home when they are sick. Parents don’t want their children to miss school, but kids who are suffering from colds or flu should be kept home. This prevents the spread of colds and flu to classmates and teachers, and time to rest at home may help youngsters recover more quickly. • Teach kids to avoid common germ spots. Germs can be lurking anywhere, but some spots seem to make more welcome homes for germs than others. Studies have shown that kids were most likely to encounter germs in schools on water fountain spigots and on plastic cafeteria trays. Teach kids to never put their mouths on fountains and to avoid eating any food that might fall onto their trays in Vaccinations bolster kids’ immune the cafeteria. systems.

Guarding against head lice As the school year begins anew, lice often becomes a subject of conversation among concerned parents. In certain areas, such as in classrooms and locker rooms, lice easily can be transferred from person to person. Understanding this common foe can help students avoid it and parents recognize it when it’s present. A louse is an ectoparasite, meaning it feeds on its host while living on the surface of the host’s body. Although lice can affect various parts of the body, they are most notably present on the scalp. Research indicates that head lice have been spreading among humans for millenia. Ancient Egyptian and Greek books of medicine make reference to lice, and they have even been found
on prehistoric mummies. Unlike lice that congregate on other parts of the body, head lice are not a vector for disease transmission. They are relatively innocuous, but can be quite a nuisance. The insects are adept at clinging to human hair and feeding on blood from the scalp. Anyone can get lice, regardless of their personal hygiene or lack thereof. School-aged children between the ages of four and 14 catch lice more frequently than adults. Although firm data on lice infestations is difficult to come by, estimates suggest that as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children between the ages of three and 11. Head-to-head contact with an already-infested person is the most common
way to get head lice. Head lice can be spread when people sit closely to one another, such as in a classroom or theater. It is very rare that lice are spread through shared belongings such as hats, combs or on furniture. Pets do not play a role in the spread of head lice. Lice tend to congregate behind the ears and at the neckline at the back of the head. Sometimes, they can be found on the eyelashes or eyebrows. Lice can be difficult to detect, and they may
not produce symptoms. In some instances, itching and irritation may be so mild that it goes unnoticed. Plus, because eggs (nits) and even adult lice are so small, they can be difficult to identify. Treating lice typically involves using specialized combs to remove nits and lice. Pesticide shampoos and lotions or nonpesticide treatments may be used to eradicate the lice. Limiting head-to-head exposure is the best way to avoid a lice outbreak.
Schools, day care centers and babysitting centers are common places for lice to strike.

Student physicals should be part of back to school planning School time requires having all of the necessary supplies, clothing and gear ready for the year. In addition, preparing for a new school year often involves providing updated physical health information to the school administration. The requirements for health screenings and reporting may vary between school districts. Some physical examinations need to be conducted annually, while others may only need updating at certain intervals, such as when kids transition from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school. Updated physical forms also may be required at the start of a sports season. Health screenings are intended to detect problems

that may interfere with learning. Physical exams may indicate issues that can hamper progress or shed light on undiagnosed problems that may require further assessment and necessitate customized learning plans to help students succeed. Physical exams are also a way to ensure students’ immunizations are up to date. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, physical exams typically are completed by students’ primary care providers. Some school districts offer free or low-cost health assessments through school providers as well. Students who will be traveling for school may be required to meet the health requirements of their destination country. For example, medical students admitted to a Canadian university may be required to get a medical exam, according to the Government of Canada. Visiting the doctor, nurse practitioner or a schoolprovided medical professional may not make school-aged children too happy. To make the process go smoothly, consider these suggestions. • Work with physicians who have access to electronic health records. EHRs are secure technology that provides easy access to vaccination records, health history, appointment reminders, and even prescription information. Some providers even make it possible for patients to directly access their health information through a secure login, helping save time.

BE BACK TO SCHOOL READY Consider function and style with backpacks Finding the right backpack is an essential component of back-to-school shopping. Children may have their own ideas of what’s in style, but parents should look for backpacks that are functional before factoring in style. Marrying form and function together can be challenging, but it’s necessary to prevent students from developing back problems. But parents must give consideration to more than just the size of their children’s backpacks. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, at least 14,000 children are treated for backpack-related injuries every year. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says that the weight of a backpack should not exceed 10 to 15 percent of a child’s body weight. But many students pack their bags with much more weight than that. Improperly sized, worn and overstuffed backpacks can injure joints and lead to neck, back and shoulder injuries. They also may affect chil- There’s lots of selection in backpacks but make sure you choose one that is functional. dren’s posture.

Many adults are returning to the classroom When a new school semester starts, children and young adults may not be the only ones who are returning to the classroom. Many adults resolve to expand their professional horizons by returning to school even after they have established themselves in their professions. Some may aspire to develop skills specific to a particular job, while others may want to make it easier to transition to a new career. The National Center for Education Statistics says 33 percent of the 18 million undergraduate students in the United States are over the age of 25. Students over the age of 30 make up 22 percent of the student body in colleges and universities. Many adults may not have been in a classroom in more than a decade. Many things have changed with regard to academia in recent decades, and adults may need some extra time Adult learners now comprise a significant portion of and help to make their transition back to student go smoothly. college and university student bodies.

• Schedule a campus visit. Choosing a school is an important decision, and even though you might not be spending as much time on campus as you did when you were younger, don’t overlook the importance of a campus visit. A member of the admissions faculty or even a current student may be able to offer a guided tour, explaining the layout of the campus, amenities and resources. He or she also may point out parking areas, study locations and the best way to navigate the campus. This will help alleviate a fish-out-of-water feeling the first day of class. • Secure financial aid if necessary. School is expensive, but keep in mind that scholarships
and other forms of financial aid are not exclusive to younger learners. • Brush up on school skills. Start reading more to refresh your vocabulary and other language skills. College involves critical thinking and reasoning, so explore free online courses or games that cover critical thinking skills. Refresh your memory on basic writing rules if essays and reports will be part of your curriculum. Honing your academic skills in advance of returning to school can help you start off on the right foot. • Create a support system. Going back to school will require you to rearrange schedules and make certain sacrifices. Such adjustments may require the assistance of friends and family.

Table tennis played at Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall it is played every Tuesday and It’s a way to keep fit while Thursday in the upstairs hall having fun. What a win-win situ- at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. ation. There’s a group of Stittsville It’s table tennis for adults and
residents who have been playing table tennis together for the last ten years, every Tuesday and Thursday. Some started playing after age 55, beginning with few
ball-hitting skills but they have improved over time thanks to the help of Bob Schwenger, the group’s coach. Even players who began with
some experience in the sport have improved over time as well. The games are always very competitive but they are not the fiercely attacking games that you might see in the Olympics. Rather, they are fast-moving games without the hostility. People are there to have fun and enjoy themselves playing table tennis. Members of the group usually play doubles, with partners being very patient with each other. There are also enough tables available to allow for singles play as well. And it’s easy to get started in this sport of table tennis as not much equipment is required. Wear comfortable clothes of any colour except white and put on a pair of non-slip athletic shoes. You do not even have to have a table tennis paddle to begin as there are some basic paddles and balls available to borrow until you get your own. New players should not purchase a paddle withBob Schwenger photo out consulting coach Bob Dick Coote (left) and Bob MacGregor (right, centre) play as a team in a doubles match at the table tennis program which Schwenger who has some takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. ideas on which paddle to New members are welcome. purchase.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Bearsaeinrs
horoscopes
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!
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, trust the people you love and your close friends. There is a good reason why you hang in certain social circles. It’s not the time to doubt your alliances.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Bringing together people and socializing is what you desire this week, Sagittarius. Therefore, why not host a party or organize a night out with friends?
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Friends may be surprised to hear you requesting things, Taurus, since you’re not usually one to ask for help. It is okay to need some assistance this week to get by.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Self-confidence and enthusiasm helps you to be a natural-born leader this week, Virgo. Show coworkers just how much you can handle and they’ll take a step back.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It is important not to let others make decisions for you, Capricorn. If you feel strongly about something, speak up for yourself and others will notice your assertiveness.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may need to ask yourself some difficult questions this week if you plan to map out more of your future. If you’re looking for adventure, the goals will be different from stability.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, changes to your financial status may have you looking at various ways to cut costs or ways to splurge. Research all of the possibilities before making drastic changes.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Someone close to you may be having difficulties he or she is not able to verbalize, Aquarius. Be patient with this person and help work through all of the angles.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 There are many changes waiting to unfold in your personal life, Scorpio. Take the time to listen to what the stars are trying to tell you and make the best decisions.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, when you act as a leader your behaviors may be different from others around you. It is okay to stand out for the right reasons.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Try to show others this week that you are a thoughtful person who has many life experiences to share, Cancer. Try to assert yourself in a calm but effective way.

Memorial service for Bryan Murray
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
The Ottawa Senators held a memorial service for Bryan Murray on Aug. 24 at the Canadian Tire Centre. Murray died Aug. 12 after a long battle with colon cancer. Players and executives from all over the NHL came to pay their respects to the man who had a part in many of their careers, some of which he even helped to start. “He got me my first job,” said Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock. “He’s been in the league a long long time and he’s touched a lot of people. If you’re an upfront guy people are attracted to that “ Babcock worked with Murray when he coached in Anaheim and Murray was the General Manager. A lot of former and current Senators players were in attendance including Chris Phillips. Philips spent his entire career with the organization and a large portion of that was with Murray behind the bench or up in the executive box. “He was an honest man,” said Phillips. “Ask him an honest question and he gave you and honest answer. You knew where you stood with him. He had time for everyone no matter where he was in the community.” As a coach and later GM, Murray had the respect of people throughout the organization “It wasn’t about him, it wasn’t about individuals. It was about the team,” said Phillips. Pierre Dorion took over the GM job after Murray stepped down. “I wouldn’t be the GM I am today without Bryan Murray,” said Dorion. “He had such a good approach to the way he did things.” After his diagnosis Murray became a champion for colonoscopies and how important it is to get yourself checked. Unfortunately Murray had not gotten checked and was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer that most likely could have been caught had he gotten regular checks. But instead of being angry he decided to be a voice to convince others to not skip on the important checkup. Chris Phillips spoke for his fellow former and current players and Murray’s niece Lynn Hearty-Coutts spoke for the family. Commissioner for the NHL Gary Bettman was also on hand to celebrate Murray’s life and held him in high regard for both his work in the NHL and his work to raise awareness for colon cancer. “His message to all was get checked and my sincere hope is everyone will honour Bryan’s life and his advice,” said Bettman.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Deer Run Splash Pad Now Open! I am thrilled to announce to the community that the newest splash pad in Deer Run Park is now fully operational and open for use! Bring your bathing suits, bring your towels, but most of all, bring your excitement to the park to make the most of our final days of warm weather before they’re gone! Additions such as this are always great for the communities as they encourage physical activity while providing an opportunity to beat the heat. Please note that splash pad operational hours run from 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM until September 11th. I would like to thank residents for their patience as the final touches to the splash pad were being completed and I hope that many families get the chance to enjoy this brand new equipment. Picnic in the (W. J. Bell Rotary Peace) Park I would like to invite all residents to a joint endeavor from my office with the Stittsville Rotary Club. The Club’s annual Picnic in the Park will be taking placing Saturday, September 9th from 1:00-5:00 at the W. J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. Games, musical guests, a photo booth and historical reenactors will all be there for your entertainment. Bring your own food or purchase food from the on-site BBQ! The picnic will be preceded by a short ceremony from 1:00-1:30 to celebrate the recent commemorative naming in honour of W. J. Bell. Deputy Mayor Bob Monette and Rotary Club President David McNamara will be saying a few words. In recognition of the extensive community service of W.J. Bell, the City of Ottawa approved the request to re-name Bell Memorial Park at 1751 Stittsville Main St. to “W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park”.

W.J. Bell donated the park land with the aim that it be enjoyed for generations to come. While not a Rotarian himself, Bell’s next of kin, Grace Bell, is a charter member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville. Bell’s family and the Stittsville Rotary Club brought forward the name change in order to reflect the objectives of encouraging and fostering peace. In October 2015, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville opened a Peace Park within Bell Memorial Park. The Peace Park features a labyrinth, which is designed to foster peaceful contemplation and meditation in a natural environment. The proposed name “W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park” reflects the aims of the Peace Park housed within while continuing to commemorate W. J. Bell himself. I highly encourage all residents to stop by this event and celebrate good times with friends, family, and neighbours. Don’t forget to bring your blankets and chairs! Always Listening

Q: I am negotiating to purchase a business and my business advisor
has strongly suggested I structure the deal as an “asset purchase”. Why is this preferable?
There are two principal ways to structure the agreement of purchase and sale of a business: as an asset purchase or as a share purchase. An asset purchase is just that, a purchase of listed assets without taking on liabilities of the business. A share purchase, by contrast, is the purchase of the shares of the corporation that carries on the business and owns the assets. There are a number of considerations as to which form of purchase is preferable. In this article, we want to focus on why your advisor has strongly recommended an asset purchase. Liability A properly structured asset purchase agreement will allow you to purchase all of the desirable assets of the business you wish to acquire while leaving out the unwanted liabilities. Your advisor has likely identified the business as one (by its nature or by the disclosure you’ve obtained) in which there are About Allan Snelling

significant potential liabilities that may be avoided through an asset purchase agreement. For example, if the owner of the business has been pocketing cash payments or using corporate assets for personal use, the business may be exposed to reassessments and penalties by the Canada Revenue Agency. A purchase of shares would mean that you, through the purchased corporation, are exposed those claims. Exceptions There are some exceptions to the avoidance of liability by an asset purchase. For instance, if the purchased business employed unionized labour, a collective agreement and any ongoing liabilities thereunder will follow the purchased business, even if structured as an asset purchase. Your legal counsel can assist you to identify and understand the relevant risks and how to avoid them where possible or otherwise obtain protection.
