SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

A successful workshop bringing together people of all ages from the community was exactly what Heidi Weiler was hoping and planning for. And that’s exactly what happened at the knitting workshop on Jan. 15 As the coordinator for the Anglican Parish of Huntley’s free “Sharing Wisdom Across the Ages” program, she was tasked with giving Carp residents events that gave more seniors in the community an opportunity to pass along some of their experience and wisdom to younger residents.

This knitting workshop was the last in this series of events.

“Every spot was filled,” said Heidi. “Twenty seven new knitters of all ages spent an afternoon with 18 experienced mentors where they learned the basics of knitting and shared stories and experiences. It was exactly what we hoped for. The only disappointment was having to turn away quite a few people who wanted to register for the event since we had filled all the spots.”

Participants received a free starter kit of wool and needles and volunteers from two local clubs, the West Carleton Country Knitters and the Carp Social Knitwork, as well as several home knitters helped them learn the basic stitches.

It was a very “hands on” experience that gave the group in the hall at St. James Church in Carp lots of opportunity to mix and chat with participants from age 10 right up to 80 years of age.

They will all return on Feb. 5 for a follow-up event where they will demonstrate the success of their knitting projects with the mentors who helped get them started.

PROUD PARTNER OF THE OTTAWA SENATORS

Host of upcoming activities planned by Carp Fair

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Carp Fair has a host of upcoming activities over the next four months.

First up is the kick-off to its four-hand euchre series on Saturday, Jan. 21, which continues until April.

“We’ve been doing this for 20 years or so,”

said Joyce Trafford, general manager of the Carp Fair, adding the event is always well attended.

Trafford, who was set to retire from the position following last year’s fair, is remaining as the general manager for the foreseeable future.

Stephanie Verk, who was hired to replace Trafford, had to take a leave of absence for

personal reasons.

“My retirement has just been extended,” said Trafford. “It’s not like I was going to another job, so I’m available.”

FOUR-HAND EUCHRE People are invited to take part in the fourhand euchre series at the Carp Agricultural Hall on Jan. 21, Feb. 18, March 18 and April 1. The cost to play is $20 and there is more

than $800 in prizes to be won. Registration takes place at 12:30 p.m. with games beginning at 1 p.m. Light refreshments and snacks are served at the event.

AGM The Carp Agricultural Society will host its annual general meeting on Jan. 26. New homecraft and agricultural directors will be elected and the meeting will discuss the results of last year’s 153rd Carp Fair.

“It’ll be the reports from what a great fair we had,” said Trafford. “The weather was good, attendance was good, there’s not going to be any negatives.”

The meeting runs from 8 to 10 p.m. and takes place in the Carp Agricultural Hall.

MEN’S NIGHT The Carp Fair is bringing back ventriloquist Mark Crocker for this year’s Men’s Night event, set for April 13.

Dunrobin Meats a labour of love

BY DAVID JOHNSTON

At the intersection of Dunrobin and Thomas Dolan Roads is a commercial plaza anchored by the thriving hub of the community known as Dunrobin Meat and Grocery.

Since 1989 when Charles Delahunt first opened the store, area residents have taken advantage of high quality meats, groceries and so much more.

Now operated by his daughters Cindy and Julie, the outlet has grown from its modest beginnings to being not only a sought after supply centre but an integral thread of the fabric of the community, one that has employed countless local youth and supports a wide range of charities and local causes.

For Cindy and Julie, the store is truly a labour of love. They are second generation grocers as their mother Ellen was part of the Younghusband family that ran a grocery and gas bar in Dunrobin for years.

Both girls grew up in the business, operating manual cash registers and stocking shelves as youngsters.

Julie was adept at operating the till by seven years of age while Cindy was outside in all weather pumping gas.

That business closed in 1986 only to be replaced three years later by a meat shop run by Charles who had just become a licensed butcher, an interest developed first at Younghusbands. The girls eventually came on board to run an adjacent convenience store which eventually was amalgamated with the butcher shop.

A Liquor Control Board Ontario outlet was added in 2000 and the store was expanded to its current dimensions.

Today the sisters are proud of their success, something they continue to work hard each day to maintain.

“I love coming to work every day,” admits Cindy, who passed over a career in criminology to stay in the family business.

“Every day is different, there’s lots of variety,” added Julie.

The days are long, with Cindy at work by 5:30 a.m. to have coffee and breakfast ready for the first customers at 7 a.m. The girls share shifts

over the seven-day work week to ensure consistent management and superlative customer service.

The community continues to support the ever-changing shop as the pair endeavour to meet the needs of the clientele with new products and services, such as preparing readyto-eat dishes for customers on the run. They were awarded the Kanata Chamber of Commerce People’s Choice Large Business of the Year award in 2011 and receive regular accolades from happy customers.

“Whether it is a quick stop for your morning freshly brewed coffee, muffin and daily newspaper, party platters for your next social gathering, custom freezer meat orders, deli sandwiches, DVD rental, lottery tickets or your beer, wine and spirts, we are the one-stop shop.”

Giving back to their community is a high priority for both Cindy and Julie. They offer many valuable services including well water testing, free grocery delivery to seniors, a dry cleaning drop-off and a free community notice board.

They also sponsor many local events and raise money for local families in need with their annual golf tournament each August, which is always a sell out.

“We always try to find somebody local who could use the help. We get so much support from the community and it’s our way of giving back,” said Julie.

In 2015, the 12th annual golf tournament raised $25,000 to support Tysen Lefebvre’s Mission to a Million campaign to assist the Make-a-Wish Foundation and in 2016, the 13th edition supported Liam McKnight and his family of Constance Bay. Liam suffers from Dravet Syndrome.

Along with the hard work and long hours, the families have fun, and that includes sponsoring the Dunrobin Meat & Grocery annual fishing derby every March. About 300 local anglers take part in a full day of fun and prizes, headed up by Julie’s husband and colleague Mike Fines.

From the appealing murals on the front windows and around the store, painted by Bonny Giles, to the local goods that fill the shelves and floor

space, there is always something appealing at Dunrobin Meat and Grocery.

Many people stop in for the bacon and high quality cuts of meat, considered to be the best in the area.

And they come back for the friendly, personal service.

The bustling business continues to employ local residents who are involved in sales, deliveries and many other retail duties. With over 30 people on staff, the store is woven into the fabric of the village. In fact, the next generation of Delahunts is growing into the business with Cindy’s daughters, Avery, 13, and Carmen, 10, working on weekends.

“We are proud of what we have accomplished, but we don’t sit back and relax, we’re always looking for ways to improve and new things to offer our customers,” said Cindy.

Constance Bay restaurant closed since October Location has a colourful history

BY DAVID JOHNSTON

It’s been called many names over the years – Whippoorwill, Koolie’s Kozy Korner, Bernie’s Bistro La Osteria, Greystone Grill and most recently Thai Destination – but one thing remains constant.

The building at 179 Constance Bay Road has been a pinnacle eatery in the beachside community, regardless of its patchy history.

The restaurant has been empty since October when the last tenants, Thai Destination, moved out before the end of their first year lease.

At this point, the once popular dining room sits in darkness and the driveway is snowed in.

Building owner George Culjak was unavailable for comment as he and his family live out of the country in the winter.

Former operators of the establishment said it is difficult to make ends meet at today’s prices for rent, utilities, operating costs, taxes and insurance.

Mike Saad, who opened Happy Times Pizza restaurant just down the street in Constance Bay last year, said running a successful restaurant is challenging in the Bay due to the seasonal aspect of the resident population.

“It’s not bad in the summer when you have more people here, but in the winter when it’s slow, some people just can’t make it with all the high costs.”

Saad pointed to the escalated cost for electricity as one of the biggest stumbling blocks to success.

Meanwhile, the property at the corner of Albirch and Constance Bay road remains in limbo.

“I was talking to George a couple of weeks back,” said Saad. “He has gone back to Argentina for the winter. He said the restaurant is listed for sale or lease. I don’t know what is

happening with that place. It is a shame to see it empty.”

The restaurant was listed Nov. 19, 2016 on Kijji Ottawa for sale or rent, with this information.

“Restaurant for sale or lease in Constance Bay, Prime location, totally equipped. 2 bedroom apartment, plenty of parking. Rent: $3,400 triple net.

For sale vendor take back.”

So far no one has come forward to strike a deal for the restaurant but more than 600 people have viewed the online advertisement.

The location has a colourful history as a commercial property. Originally operated as The Whippoorwill, succeeding the original Whippoorwill Dance Hall on adjacent property, the restaurant changed hands many times and was also an art gallery and

During the 1970s, Koolie’s Kozy Korner was operated by the Currie family and in the 1990s Alf Currie ran Bernie’s Bistro at the location.

Prior to Thai Destination, restauranteur Darryl McDougal operated Greystone Grill from the location for three years.

In that time, he built a solid clientele and became a popular fixture in the community before ill health and rising operating costs forced him to close.

McDougal took over the fledgling Greystone Grill from building lessee Shawn Burnie who opened the first Greystone in Oc-

tober 2012. A firefighter from Dunrobin, Burnie took on the business after enjoying the food and atmosphere at La Osteria, operated by owners George and Claudia Culjak But juggling all the plates caused problems at Greystone which led Burnie to reposition his business. After being closed for most of January 2012, the Greystone reopened at the end of February under new management, which was McDougal.

Recently, some local people speculated that building owner George Culjak had plans to reopen his business, but that has not proven to be the case.

Veteran director of Resource Centre retiring

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Cathy Jordan, the long-time executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, will retire on Jan. 20.

Involved with the organization for more than 20 years, Jordan said she’s eager to see what comes next for the resource centre.

“There’s a right time for the right leader and so I think this was the right time for what I had to give to the organization,” she said. “I think we’re on the verge of some new exciting stuff.”

Jordan, who turned 61 on Jan. 9, said her retirement means she’ll be able to spend more time with her two grandchildren, put more focus into her artistic talents and volunteer with a number of local organizations.

“I’ve been looking at where I'm at and where I want to go and just finding that increasingly there are lots of things I’d like to do in my personal life and just not enough time to do it,” said the Stittsville resident.

Jordan is working with Mel-

Cathy Jordan, executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre since 2004, will retire on Jan. 20. ody Paruboczy, who was appointed the centre’s new executive director effective Jan. 3.

“I inherited a very special, very strong organization from Peggy Feltmate and I think that I've been able to add my imprint to it,” said Jordan.

“We’ve grown staff wise, we’ve grown about $2 million a year budget wise, so we’ve grown immensely during the

time that I've been here. I think what I'm most proud of is I think I'm leaving a really, really strong organization.”

Paruboczy comes on board with more than 20 years of management experience in the nonprofit sector, most recently as the executive director of Canada Mothercraft, which offers services for parents, caregivers and children.

“It’s going to be exciting to see where Melody takes it,” said Jordan. “There are so many exciting possibilities that we’re on the verge of.”

“Cathy has been very successful at partnering with other agencies to bring more services to our community and to expand the services,” said Feltmate.

“She's continued the tradition of working with the community, trying to be aware of needs that

are emerging and focusing on trying to address those needs in the community.”

Jordan has been instrumental in forging partnerships with other organizations, including an adult day program for adults experiencing dementia-related disorders at Algonquin College, which also acts as a training program for students.

“People make community and she's an outstanding ex-

ample of that,” said Richard Annett, board vice-president.

“She's committed, she's passionate, she's involved. In some ways, she's also developed an organization that has gone through a lot – the demographics have changed, the priorities have changed, there’s been funding challenges – it’s really a story of continuous change.”

See CATHY, page 7

PASSIONATE, INVOLVED

Jordan has been a stable figure within the organization; the centre has had only two executive directors in its 30-year history, the first being Peggy Feltmate, who left the position to run for city council.

Jordan has effectively led the centre through a number of expansions, said the former Kanata councillor. She noted the opening of the woman’s shelter Chrysalis House, merging with

“Gifted” but “uncontrollable” child?

Don’t drug them…heal them!

The world needs them!

More and more, parents find their way into my clinic in a desperate attempt to make their life and their childs life easier. They usually have tried it all from counselling to medication and are at a point where it is no longer an option to just sit and wait for a miracle to happen. Their day to day challenges center around managing their child. The school calls to complain about their misbehaviour. Teachers often don’t know what to do, just as parents are at their width end with their patience. Arguments happen way too often and resentment, hatred and overwhelm become a way of life. Yet deep inside every mom and dad know their child is special…. soooo special! Just how can we turn things around?

Let me tell you a little story: A few month ago both parents brought their young teenager into my clinic. I work with all of them together but also provide confidential individual time if necessary, as the goal is to respect everyone.

Even though the child is going to be treated, mom and dad need to understand the ground work and rules and will be enlightened by my suggestions as it relates to their parenting style. This teenage boy was suffering from anxiety, ADD and ADHD. He is a bright and engaged young teenager, who loves to take control of his life. After the inital assessment I provided some energetic homeopathic remedies.

I showed the boy how to take the remedies and he took the first dose right in my office. At the end, I briefly spoke with mom in private, while dad and his son waited in the car.

Next month at the follow-up visit, mom was beaming from ear to ear and dad said: I can’t believe this, but he was another child from the first time he took a drop of your remedies! He immediately calmed down and was patiently waiting in the car for mom to come out, without getting impatient or angry as he usually would.” Mom continued saying: “I even can take him shopping now, without being afraid that I’ll have to run out of the store in embarassment of him having a panic attack or a tantrum! His conflict resolution is so much easier and we are actually coming to a conslusion.” Then I turned to the boy and he smiled: “I don’t even have my nightmares anymore!”

Cathy Jordan ‘an outstanding example’ of what makes community: vice-president Continued from page 6

Born in Richmond Hill in 1956, Jordan was the eldest of five siblings. She met her husband Doug when they were in kindergarten and the couple has two children and two grandchildren. When a job opportunity presented itself in Ottawa, they made the move and settled in Carp before later moving to Stittsville.

Jordan received a bachelor of science in nursing from Queen’s University and has worked in the healthcare system as a nurse, coordinator, educator and manager.

“I started as a pediatric nurse at Toronto East General Hospi-

tal – I was very shy,” she said. “I never, ever dreamed that I would have had the kinds of opportunities that I had in the 37 years of my career and the opportunities I've had to work with some amazing people who I really admire. I sort of think, ‘Wow, how did that ever happen?’”

A staff member at the centre approached Jordan to join the board of directors while she was working at South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre as a program manager. She jumped at the chance and joined the board in 1996 – when it was still located in the Kanata Town Centre building on Katimavik Road. She's held

related challenges, and it’s people of all ages – it’s children and youth and adults. People who are struggling in terms of low income, poverty, people who are needing assistance to keep the hydro on – that’s been a huge, huge change in this community,” said Jordan.

The WOCRC launched two community resource hubs in West Carleton last year after a number of public consultations throughout the ward. The program aims to help seniors live at home longer, fight social isolation and make services more easily accessible.

“The work that we’re doing out in West Carleton, Julie McKercher is doing an amazing job,” said Jordan. “One of the beautiful things about being here is that it’s not just me, I have staff who take these things forward. I have staff who pick up the lead and run with it.”

Another example is the bullying prevention program developed by Angela Larousso.

“To see it become something that has the potential to impact Ottawa-wide and to see her leading it is so exciting,” said Jordan.

And it’s the numerous staff and hundreds of volunteers and donors who have really made the position a joy, she said.

“The thousands of peoples lives that we touch every year, the ripples that come out of that kind of contact, the fact that we have amazing staff and they're so passionate and they're so committed,” said Jordan. “The numbers of people who care about what happens to those in this community, and are there to donate either money or time, is overwhelming.

“It is because of (them) that our reach is just so far.”

positions as chair of the HR committee, board chair and past-chair before leaving in 2000.

“Then a position came up for a director of programs and services,” said Jordan.

She applied and was hired as a staff member in 2001.

The centre moved to its current location at 2 MacNeil Court and changed its name – then the Community Resource Centre of Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton – to its current moniker in 2001-02.

In August 2003, Feltmate left the executive director position to run for election and Jordan took over as acting executive director. The board went through the recruitment process and Jordan was officially appointed in March 2004.

Since then, more changes have taken place. The centre opened Chrysalis House, and received a partial French language designation for its Early Years Centre and Violence Against Women program. It brought in a centre-wide client database, has gone through accreditation with the Canadian Centre for Accreditation twice and expanded to a fourth floor.

The west end community itself has grown, becoming more culturally and economically diverse.

“One of the biggest challenges I've had is being part of such a large city and the profile of people who are struggling in this community, it doesn’t look the same as people living in the downtown core,” said Jordan.

On top of the growing demand for services and assistance, many of the issues residents face have changed.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Money well spent N

o one plans to be a victim of crime. No one plans to lose a loved one to crime.

So it’s very good news that this city is served by the people at Ottawa Victim Services.

The staff works behind the scenes when people need help, including counselling, advocacy, referrals and even help with funeral arrangements after a sudden death.

When a tragedy occurs, help is dispatched. Staff follow through, even providing drives to court for victims of crime to provide evidence. They stand beside people who are experiencing some of the worst days of their lives.

Victims of horrible crimes – assualt, robbery, sexual assault – are helped through the justice system to ensure the experience of facing the accused is no more difficult than absolutely necessary.

If you’ve never heard of Ottawa Victim Services, clearly you can count yourself

lucky.

The people working there rely on provincial funds to do their good work. When funding cuts resulted in job losses over the past two years, Ottawa Victim Services was savvy enough to team up with our police department. The combined operation has been helping a growing number of people year over year.

The numbers are just numbers, but each represents an individual victim. Through no fault of their own, they have been hurt, or have lost a loved one.

Yet some cases fall through the cracks.

Resources are limited.

Past funding cuts should be reconsidered at Queen’s Park. Reversing those cuts and even expanding the organization’s ability to help those in need is a much better idea.

Ottawa Victim Services deserves more funding from the province. It’s hard to imagine money better spent.

They like us, even though we worry too much about it

T

he world's great cities don't really care what the world thinks of them. Paris, New York - you can like them or not, as far as the people who live there are concerned.

They're not going to bend over backwards to make you like them.

You do or you don't. It's all the same to them.

Then there's Ottawa. Do we care what outsiders think about us? Do Canada geese poop on golf courses?

It was all too apparent when the New York Times ran a travel piece about our city, part of a regular feature in which a Times writer spends 36 hours in a city. As it happened, Ottawa got a rave review, the writer accurately pointing out some of the more interesting views and tastes in the city.

So that was enjoyable. What was less enjoyable was the narcissistic

town.

Well, enough. If this is a mature city, which it often seems to be, it doesn't need to concern itself about what out-of-towners think, no matter how distinguished. If this is a mature city, it just goes about its business, concentrating instead on how to make life better for the people who spend more than 36 hours at a time here.

That means schools, roads, buses, walkable neighbourhoods, rinks, hospitals - all of the things that don't make themselves obvious to the visiting expert. If those are good, and they mostly are, we can take pride in that, without actually having to brag about it.

Ottawa is not the only city to be overly conscious of how the world sees it. Vancouver preens a bit and Toronto is obsessed with being compared favourably with New York.

We should all get over it. Canadian cities have nothing to apologize for, except, at times to the people who live in them. Those are the ones we should be trying to impress.

Lack of internet connectivity, even near tower This letter from Dave Forsyth is in response to a letter

by Jaime Sastre of Woodlawn published in the Jan. 12 edition of the West Carleton Review entitled “Internet service found wanting.”

Dear Jaime, Sincere sympathies on your (lack of) internet coverage.

Welcome to the land of “No Network Connection”.

Over the past few years we went from effectively no connectivity from the Stonecrest tower some 1400 meters east - to none.

Like us, you may have called the Head of Broadband Services for the City of Ottawa to ask about the lack of internet service. Surfacing from the uninterrupted-tobreathe, 8 minute portrayal of the tremendous value of the Public Private Partnership (3p) that saves taxpayer dollars by subsidizing excellent rural internet service – we again

asked about the complete lack of internet connectivity 1400m from the nearest 3p tower.

At the end of the call, the Head of Broadband Services suggested we send him an email describing our problem. We were in awe as to how the urban internet seems to work on a head-scratching, telepathic level that can email without internet.

Care to discuss the merits of performance bonuses?

Our many calls to the 3p company indicated there must be a large barn with a steel roof or too many trees with leaves (in January) between us and the 3p antenna. In addition, the antenna was the wrong type and not high enough. We added antenna mast extensions until the tech couldn’t climb.

Repeated tech visits and antennae testing produced variably minimum reception specs for as long as the tech visit lasted.

Subsequent calls to the 3p partner could not be accommodated due to service fees to the 3p rep. Other companies in the area could not cover Stonecrest.

Sound familiar yet?

We noted the increase in tech activity on the 3p tower to the east and the dramatic changes in antennae configuration that somehow correlated with going from ineffective internet signal to none. Could it be that the taxpayer had funded establishment of tower infrastructure to provide corporate profits??

When our daughter returned home for a brief

stint to get her ducks in line, we asked the 3p rep to try to hook us up to the now improved service to help her. Reluctant to re-enter into a contract and forseeing the same service, we elected to pay the $224.87 in lieu of contract – being assured of course that if there was no effective service within 30 days, the deposit would be refunded ..

Never happened.

I have the cashed cheque on my wall as a reminder of the trust one should place in the City and the 3p system. Since the 3p system would not pick up their own antenna, it went to landfill.

Like you, we looked into potential Bell internet service. The Bell rep had a very wide smile.

Lines here are almost up to level I dial-up. Sir Alexander Graham might be impressed that his technology is still in service.

Our on-ramp to the internet highway is a 25 minute deer-watching drive to the Carp Branch of the City of Ottawa library or the Arnprior library (Arnprior Library fees are MUCH less than 3p). Internet service at both libraries is limited bandwidth coupled with their own LAN problems and available hours. It works, even if it took a week to download the last Microsoft Office update.

Good News!

The CRTC has just announced that the internet playing field across Canada will? be levelled.

Lets hope it can start 20 miles from Parliament Hill.

Do you think it will happen with the same

This handsome boy is Higgins. Higgins was abandoned in a box on the side of an icy road, luckily someone witnessed it and picked him up right away. He is a large boy, that is very affectionate and friendly.

Higgins loves attention and would love to find a home with a big comfy couch to spend his evenings snuggled up with his favourite person! Higgins would be best suited in a quiet home where he could be the only pet. He is currently at the Renfrew Pet Valu if you would like to meet him.

Please consider adopting this sweet boy!

Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Renovated mental health unit getting closer

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Hope for a renovated mental health unit at the Queensway Carleton Hospital continues to rise.

Just under a year into the fundraising drive, the Hopes Rising campaign has raised $2.3 million of its $5-million goal.

The 24-bed unit provides both inand out-patient support for acute patients in crisis. Located on the ground floor of the west-end hospital, it has seen very few upgrades since it was first built in 1976.

“QCH is a victim almost of selfstigma; we were perpetuating the feeling that we were neglecting that unit and therefore neglecting that cause,” said Melanie Adams, president and CEO of the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation. “You can understand where the stigma would come from when you come through this beautiful renovated hospital and then you’re in the worst emotional crisis of your life and you walk into the unit that hasn’t been touched yet.”

The rooms are small, with two beds separated by a thin curtain. Visitors have remarked the beds are close enough for the occupants to hold hands. Bathrooms are shared, located in the halls.

The dining room, recreational space and social area are one and the same, and the only place where patients can sit and talk with their families and friends.

The corridors are dark. A lone bench sits at the end of a hallway, in front of a window, evoking a sense of loneliness.

No photographs were permitted in areas of the mental health unit where patients were gathered.

When compared with other renovated and expanded areas of the

Events Con’t from page 3

The event features beverages, dinner, guest speakers and fundraising for good causes.

Tickets will be available in about two weeks.

hospital — such as the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre and the Acute Care of the Elderly unit, both of which feature modern furnishings, lots of natural light and comforts such as fireplaces — the atmosphere in the mental health unit is not as welcoming.

“Every time I go through the unit I think about what if I had to leave my daughter here? What if I had to leave my sister here? How would I be feeling about that, knowing that it’s the right place and the best place and the care is outstanding?” said Adams. “But it’s got to be hard to walk down that corridor and know that you have to leave them.”

The environment is impacting care and has contributed to some patients deciding to leave treatment early, or not stay at all.

Adams spoke about a young man who suffered from anxiety and depression, and whose mother was able to get him a referral to the unit.

When he showed up, a delay due to a crisis in the unit coupled with the fact that the waiting area is located in a busy, main hospital corridor contributed to his decision to leave before he was seen.

“You’re sitting there; you’ve lost dignity, you’ve lost privacy, you’re exposed, and his level of anxiety wouldn’t allow him to stay and seek treatment, and he bolted,” said Adams. “That’s really sad that we couldn’t gain him access to care at a really critical moment for him because of our environment.”

In another instance, a former board member attempted suicide a year after his daughter died, and was admitted through the hospital’s emergency department as an in-patient.

“He should have been in for probably 14 days but he couldn’t wait to get out of there because there was no

privacy. He didn’t want to use the showers. It was just a terrible environment to be in,” said Adams. “Imagine, if we had had a better environment, if we could have had him a few more days, extended his treatment, it might have been a quicker journey to recovery.”

EMERGENCY VISITS As campaigns like Do it For Daron, Bell Let’s Talk and other programs aimed at educating people about mental health gain support, hospitals are seeing an increase in mental health emergencies.

“The stigma of mental health is decreasing in the community, which is great,” said Domenic Ielo, clinical director for mental health at the hospital. “But that in turn is causing people to come to our emergency department more frequently, which is great, but then we need to increase that capacity and the care that we provide.”

The emergency department at the QCH sees an average of 200 to 250 people every day, he said. In a year, about 77,000 patients come through the emergency department, with about 3,100 seeking help for a mental health crisis.

Approximately 25 per cent (775 people) of those emergency mental health visits are referred to the on-call psychiatrist, and about half of those people seen (388) are admitted to the unit.

Screening ‘The Messenger’ in Almonte Canadian Director Su Rynard’s visionary film “The Messenger” will be showing for one night only at Almonte Old Town Hall.

The film is a joint Canada/France production

by SongbirdSOS Productions and Films a Cinq/ ARTE. Since its world premiere at Toronto’s 2015 Hot Docs Film Festival, The Messenger has impressed audiences around the world.

This essential film has significant global implications and argues that the decline of songbirds signals an uncertain shift in an already fragile ecosystem, while warning that the uncertain fate of songbirds mirrors our own.

Screening information is as follows: 7 p.m., Thursday, January 19 at Almonte Old Town Hall. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is $5, with all proceeds to the Bird Studies Canada “The Messenger” Impact Campaign.

The screening, hosted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists, will be followed by a Q and A discussion.

The films director had noticed birds “disappearing” from around her family cottage north east of Toronto: “For me, the first step was to simply stop, listen and see for myself what was going on in the skies above. The next step [was] this film” said Rynard. Indeed, according to Dr. Bridget Stutchbury, author of Silence of the Songbirds, “What we’re seeing with these songbird declines is 40 or 50 years in a row of the populations getting lower and lower. So we have only

half the birds we did back in the 1960’s.”

Beautifully filmed in Canada (Toronto, Alberta’s boreal forest, and elsewhere), Costa Rica, Germany, France, The Netherlands and the USA, The Messenger excels, with an international panel of remarkable participants— expert scientists and artists whose insightful knowledge and passion movie-goers strongly connect with.

To name a few: Dr. Bridget Stutchbury; University of Saskatchewan’s, Dr. Christy Morrisey, the young eco-toxicologist whose research on impacts of new pesticides on prairie farmland and wetland birds is revealing vital clues to what’s going wrong; German composer/DJ Dominik Eulberg whose contribution “reconciled his love of ornithology, with his talent, skill and experience in techno music”; and ecologist Alejandra Martinez-Salinas, in Costa Rica, whose current work focuses on the role of birds in control of coffee berry borer, an important coffee pest worldwide.

“Without a doubt, The Messenger is the most outstanding film I’ve seen on birds. The fact that it is so strongly science-based, so emotive in its pitch, so beautiful in its design it captivates me and everyone who has had a chance to see it” says Steven Price, President, Bird Studies Canada: The Messenger brings hope also.

Rynard: “In ancient times, to predict the future, humans looked to the flights and songs of birds. Today once more, the birds have something to tell us.” [Ultimately]: “I believe people are compassionate, intelligent, and capable of

change. Real change occurs when people begin to positively care, and you can feel this in the film . . . we have launched an impact campaign with Bird Studies Canada birdscanada.org. We aim to connect people who care with ways they can help.

Senators Soirée raises $446,725 for children STAFF

The 2017 Ferguslea Senators Soirée, the Ottawa Senators Foundation's (@sensfoundation) premier fundraising event, has raised $446,725 in support of children and youth.

Funds raised will help the Ottawa Senators Foundation give deserving children and youth access to sports, afterschool programs and activities, including a number of exciting initiatives within the community such as the I Love to Skate program, outdoor SENS RINK construction projects, Sens Camperships and Sens in School.

More than 750 guests, along with Senators players, members of the coaching staff and management, met Claude, a participant in the Senators Sports and Leadership League, at the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa and heard first-hand his story of the life-changing impact resulting from the experience provided by the Ottawa Senators Foundation.

"The first time Dan and I attended the Senators Soirée, we had a wonderful time getting to know the players and coaches off the ice. We've never missed a year since," said Barbara Crook on behalf of her husband, Ferguslea Properties owner Dan Greenberg. "We are especially proud to sponsor this event and support the great work of the Ottawa Senators Foundation. Together, we are making a differ-

ence for local children and youth."

"The Ferguslea Senators Soiree is a celebration of our work in the community and this year has proved to be our best yet," said Danielle Robinson, president and CEO, Ottawa Senators Foundation.

"Thanks to the generosity of the Senators players and coaches, sponsors, table purchasers and guests, we are able to have a real and lasting impact on the lives of children and youth across eastern Ontario and western Quebec,” she said.

“This support allows us to provide valuable funding that enables 1,000 kids to attend summer camp, 1,200 kids to play in the competitive Sens Sports and Leadership League, 500 kids to receive new skates, helmets and lessons on SENS RINKS across the region, and increased access to mental health education and treatment programs for youth,” president/CEO Robinson pointed out.

One-of-a-kind experiential auction items were the theme of the evening, highlighted by a street hockey game featuring two members of the Ottawa Senators. Other items included a golf experience with Senators general manager Pierre Dorion, a private dinner party with two members of the Ottawa Senators and an entertainment package featuring a suite for four of the year's biggest shows at Canadian Tire Centre.

Family gets cozy when temperatures take a dive

W

e were getting used to the interruptions in our sleep.

It was in the dead of winter.

Father said it was the worst winter he had seen since he was a young boy.

Mother said every winter in Northcote was the worst she had ever seen!

Anyway, we had hardly settled in our beds that night when the loud cracking noises began.

That meant it was bitterly cold out and every log in our old house was letting us know it. One or two loud cracks was just about all Mother could stand.

We heard Father get up and go to the Findlay Oval in the kitchen and lift the lids, and we knew he was about to chug in another log.

The old stove was pouring

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories out as much heat as it could, but it wasn’t enough to take the bone chilling cold out of the house. And of course, that was all Mother needed to hear...Father attacking the stove with another log from the wood box. She knew that within minutes the stove pipes would be making their own noises, and there was a good chance they would turn red from the flames.

Which to her meant the whole house would be burnt to the ground and with us in it! It didn’t take her long

to get us all out of bed and head down to the kitchen.

Father was in his usual night attire, which was his long combination underwear, and he had settled down in the rocking chair, lit his pipe, and looked like he was about to doze off.

Mother had placed our warm outer clothes on the bench at the back door, just in case we had to leave the house in a hurry.

Where we would go in the blowing snow was beyond me, but Mother was sure

anyplace was safer than in an old log house with its only means of heat, a raging cook stove about to burst into flames.

Just as she said they would, the pipes turned red.

She poked Father and he roused long enough to take a look, then said, “Nothing to stew about it...it’ll all settle down in a minute.”

And he promptly went back to sleep.

Whatever heat the stove was giving off did nothing to stop the frost from cracking the logs in the house, and each bang seemed to be worse than the one before it.

Mother sent Audrey and Everett upstairs to get the pillows and blankets off our beds, and she spread them out on the kitchen floor, and told us that was where we would be spending the night

just in case we had to make a quick exit.

Emerson said it was just like camping out. Mother went to the creton couch, which she pulled away from the stove as far as she could, and Father; who she said could sleep leaning against a barn door, was softly snoring in his rocking chair.

Just as he said they would, the stove pipes returned to their natural colour. Much to Mother’s surprise, we survived the night without the house being burnt to the ground. Somehow, before any of us was awake, Father had gotten out of his chair, dressed and gone out to the barns to do the chores without any of us hearing him.

The wind had quieted down by the time Father came in for his breakfast.

He looked around at the

“That was way to easy!”

blankets and pillows on the floor, plugged another log in the stove, and got as far as saying, “Well, I see.... ,” when Mother said, “Not one word Albert...not one word.”

I knew there would be many nights ahead of us when the old log house would crack from the frost, the pipes would turn red, Father would spend most of the night in the rocking chair in the kitchen to keep the stove stoked, and Mother would herd us all down to the kitchen to sleep on the floor. Just in case.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Healthy Eats: Seasonal cooking on a budget Do you find it difficult to come up with healthy meals that your family will enjoy? Or do you need some tips on how to eat locally on a budget? On Thursday, January 26, from 6-8:30 pm, at the Galetta Community Centre (119 Darwin St.) join Judi Varga-Toth from Deep Roots Food Hub and Courtney Fowler, Dietician from the West Carleton Family Health Team, for an evening of delicious learning. During this hands on workshop, Judi will teach you how to cook a variety of healthy, simple dishes with locally available foods. While you’re eating, Courtney will take the guess work out of winter meal planning. Learn all about immune boosting foods that will help keep you healthy in the winter. Older children are welcome to join and childcare is available upon request. For more information please email info@deeprootsfoodhub.ca.

The Deep Roots Food Hub is a coalition of farmers, market gardeners, health professionals and other West Carleton residents who advocate for a healthier, more secure and sustainable food system.

Stay safe around ice Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) are reminding residents with the thaw and freeze cycles experienced in the last couple weeks ice can be unsafe. Please be cautious and take note that ice thickness should be: • At least 15cm for walking or skating alone • 20cm for skating parties or games • 25cm for snowmobiles • 35cm for fishing huts As a guideline, clear blue ice is usually the strongest; white opaque or snow ice is half as strong as blue ice.

Grey ice is unsafe; it indicates the presence of water.

When in doubt, simply stay off the ice.

Coming soon! Summer employment recruitment The City of Ottawa’s 2017 Summer Student Employment Program will be accepting online job applications from February 1 to February 28. This is a great opportunity for students to gain valuable work experience and insight into today’s workforce.

The lowdown about ‘hibernators’ in winter

N

ot all “hibernators” sleep away the winter.

This winter has seen a rollercoaster of environmental conditions.

There have been periods of “real winter” with fresh snow and invigorating temperatures.

There have also warm spells with freezing rain and even rain. The effects of these fluctuating conditions on animals are as varied as the conditions themselves. For some, food resources were easier to find when receding snow revealed seeds. For others, the subnivean space - the crystalized subway under the snow where small mammals roam in relative warmth - flooded or collapsed.

Both scenarios spelt trouble for its users when temperatures plummeted.

Wild fluctuations in winter temperatures also affect larger animals. Black Bears, Eastern Chipmunks, Raccoons, Striped Skunks, and Groundhogs vanish in the fall and appear the following spring. They are said to enter hibernation but hibernation is defined as an inactive state characterized by greatly depressed heart rate, body temperature, and metabolic activity. A hibernating animal is in a deep sleep and cannot be easily awoken.

Eastern Chipmunks vanish in the fall and aren’t seen again until early spring but if you put a video camera into one of their underground chambers, you’d see that every few days its occupant wakens, goes to a pantry to have a meal, then uses another chamber as a lavatory before returning to its bedroom where

it curls up and falls asleep. There is no continuous inactive state for a chipmunk!

Black Bears also don’t sleep soundly all winter long. Although the heart rate of a Black Bear drops to a mere eight beats per minute, its body temperature remains high (near 30°C) so a dormant bear easily arouses.

I’ve been to several winter dens on extremely cold days. At one, the bear wore a transmitter that registered heart activity.

The more active the heart, the greater the number of blips per minute. Even though it was -30°C, when I approached the den on snowshoes, the blips on the researcher’s receiver quickly accelerated from one per ten seconds to about one per second!

The bear sensed me coming and was rousing from its sleep. At another den, this one semi-exposed under an overturned tree’s roots, the large head of a female bear (which had two newly born cubs) slowly rose up into view and blinked when I bent over to peer in. My heart rate also quickly accelerated!

Groundhogs are the world’s largest true hibernators.

Raccoons and skunks also wake up readily and become active on warm winter nights, which is why recently there have been dead Raccoons along highways. Their short-term sleep is known as lethargy.

Groundhogs, however, are never active on warm winter days. On rare occasions, they briefly raise their body temperature and roll around in their underground dens, but for the most part they remain curled up in a ball in a death-like sleep, oblivious to conditions above the ground.

Groundhogs are not only true hibernators; they are the world’s largest animals to enter that state. Locally, Jumping Mice (both Meadow and Woodland) are also true hibernators that

Because raccoons enter a dormant state called lethargy and do not hibernate, they become active on warm days in winter. never go wandering when temperatures soar in winter.

Too bad the same doesn’t apply to Raccoons.

DONNA, RDH DONNA, RDH

The Government’s cap-and-trade tax went into effect on the 1st of January.

The tax is basically a scheme to make everyone pay for carbon dioxide emissions.

Fuel prices have already gone up. Gas at most pumps was up to $1.16 a litre. The cost of heating your home is going up by about $7 a month, and this is on top of the already ridiculously high cost of hydro.

The cost of everything else is going up too.

Almost all products in Canada are shipped to a store or to your doorstep by trucks. So if the cost of gas goes up, the cost of shipping does too. Business have to pass those costs on to their customers. This is why the Auditor-General of Ontario estimated that over the next two years households will pay almost $300 more indirect costs everything.

These higher costs are going to hurt the poor most, and enrich the government by about $2 billion a year. The cap-and-trade tax is not going to be offset by reductions in any of our other taxes. So as we all get poorer, the government will get richer.

The next election just can’t come soon enough!

Plenty of parking for riders Continued from page 17

Located at 5025 Innovation Dr., many riders said they were happy to have another station closer to home where they could easily find a parking space and catch their buses.

“I don’t like to battle rushhour traffic downtown,” said Shannon Cassidy, a north Kanata resident who often used the Terry Fox station to avoid parking issues at the Eagleson Road park-and-ride.

“Unless you get to Eagleson by 7:30, there are no spots left,” she said.

The Eagleson Road parkand-ride fills up quickly on weekday mornings. Many commuters have received parking tickets for parking in non-designated spaces.

Innovation is meant to relieve some of the issues, giving people driving in from West Carleton and north Kanata an alternative.

“That’s one of the objectives,” said Wilkinson. “It just means people won’t be getting tickets as often and I won’t be

Innovation Station, served by routes 63, 64, 165 and 166, has 246 regular parking spaces and eight accessible parking spots.

About 30 cars were counted in the park-and-ride lot during the first week of January, and 80 vehicles were using the station on Jan. 10, said the councillor.

The lot has been prepped for two more phases, which will see the total parking upped to

“When we go back the next time it’s only the cost of doing the actual paving and doing the lines,” said Wilkinson.

The total cost of the Innovation park-and-ride was around $14 million, which included all studies, lane modifications and new traffic lights.

The Farm Wife: Indoor projects in winter DIANA FISHER W

inter months are a great time to get indoor projects completed. This includes the book I have been working on for years. In winter I am not distracted by my garden that needs weeding, a beckoning swimming pool and an inner voice that screams “why are you sitting at a computer on a beautiful day like today?? You should be outside!!�

I put another log on the fire, pour a cup of tea and settle in for an hours-long writing session. Here’s why this particular project is taking so long to complete. I lived in Taiwan from 2003 to 2006 and wrote a number of articles for The Kemptville Advance during that time. Topics ranged from the Taiwanese President’s attempted assassination, to prawn fishing, to culture shock, to the tsunami. I have some great stories to include in my book from those columns. But it’s going to be a sight more difficult than I first imagined.

the floppy discs they had used to store my articles on were by then obsolete. I had no way of opening them to read the files inside. I resigned myself to collecting old copies of the newspapers from that time and transcribing all the articles by hand into my computer at home.

That took the better part of a year.

I got busy working for the local radio station then, and writing news every day. When you use your brain to write all day, the last thing you feel like doing is writing when you get home.

So the project got put aside again. For another almost five years. I’m sure it’s beginning to feel neglected.

Now that I have taken a closer look at the 50,000 words that I have as a foundation for this book, I realize we have a new problem.

Ottawa RedBlacks visit Huntley Centennial Public School

BY DAVID JOHNSTON

It takes a team to win, and everyone has a role to play.

That’s the message that Ottawa’s RedBlacks, 2016 Canadian Football League champions, brought to students of Huntley Centennial Public School in Carp January 11.

RedBlack defensive linemen Connor Williams and Ettore ‘ET’ Lattanzio backed up an inspirational presentation by Mark Sluban, Community Events Manager for the Red Blacks, Ottawa Fury and Ottawa 67’s.

Students learned the meaning of being a team player in life and to never give up on goals and dreams.

Both RedBlacks are Ottawa natives who shared their own stories of struggle to reach success.

To win the championship and coveted Grey Cup in 2016, Sluban pointed out that the Red Blacks had to overcome challenges and set backs.

“In their first season, the RedBlacks only won two games,” Sluban told the assembly. “In their second season, they made it all the way to the Grey Cup but lost. Now they are the

2016 Grey Cup Champions because they never gave up.”

Sluban’s animated presentation encouraged students to see themselves as players in life, on their own team, with a fan network of supportive family and friends, as well as teachers who act as coaches to help them grow.

Sluban emphasized his point by asking ET Lattanzio how it felt when they lost their first bid for the championship.

“It was a really bad feeling, but we knew there was nothing else to do but come back and try harder. We never gave up.”

That spirit of confidence, combined with dedication and team support, resulted in the championship win, pointed out Sluban.

“You have to have a plan to achieve a goal. You have to know how to get there and be willing to do what it takes. Each of us have to find our own path in life and work on it. You have to have confidence and never, never give up,” said Sluban. “You will make mistakes. You have to. But the thing is to keep on going, learn from them and never give up.”

story of growing up in Kanata and not even being interested in sports, especially football. But, because he came from a family of athletes with two uncles who had CFL careers, he was motivated by his mother and family to get into the game.

“I didn’t like sports as a kid. I had to be pushed out the door. I didn’t learn to love the sport until high school, and I wasn’t very good at the start. I had to work hard.”

Williams earned a scholarship at Utah State University in the USA and played college football before returning home to join the RedBlacks.

“I kept pushing myself and with the support of my loved ones, I ended up with a professional football career.”

Similarly, ET Lattanzio had to overcome challenges. Though he loved to play football as a youth, he was not able to win a scholarship and eventually played locally at Ottawa University. He sustained injuries early David Johnston photo in his career and to keep on trying to Huntley Centennial teacher Christine Heath is an avid supporter succeed.

$5-million Hopes Rising campaign to upgrade QCH mental health unit Continued from page 11

The mental health unit also works on a rotation to take critical patients from smaller hospitals, such as those in Carleton Place and Arnprior, which aren’t equipped with in-patient treatment programs.

The average length of stay in the mental health unit is 16 days, and all 24 beds are often filled. When no space is available and an acute patient is admitted, that person is placed elsewhere in the hospital with a round-the-clock sitter until a bed becomes available in the ward.

“If you’re that patient you already feel set aside and different … and then you have to have somebody sitting with you. That’s upsetting, and it’s not the optimal patient experience,” said Adams. “The solution to some of these challenges became the Hopes Rising campaign.”

HOPES RISING The mental health unit was slated for renovations during the hospital’s

previous fundraising campaign.

“As the cancer centre project specifically grew and the cost of equipment grew, something had to go,” said Adams. “Unfortunately, it was the mental health unit that got lost, primarily because it’s high-touch, low-tech, and the equipment was needed on the clinical side and so it remained in its 1976 state through this unbelievable expansion of the hospital.”

Now, the focus is being put on the mental health unit. In February 2016, the foundation launched the Hopes Rising campaign, a $5-million project to upgrade and renovate the wing with more modern conveniences and create more private areas. A fundraising concert in memory of a young Kanata man who died by suicide was held last October. The event raised $11,000 for the Hopes Rising campaign.

“I went to the concert — 150 people, eight performers and $11,000 —

that really and truly was incredible,” said Adams.

“There is a huge need and there must be so many families that are just struggling because they’re stepping up and saying we really believe and we want to make this change happen.”

Funds will see the creation of a psychiatric intensive care unit within the mental health wing for patients who need more one-on-one support during the initial phase of processing.

“It’s four bed bays that have an opportunity for more direct contact with staff, and they’re just a little bit removed from the general population until they’re diagnosed and assessed and a treatment plan is introduced,” said Adams.

HALF THE SIZE An external audit discovered the mental health unit was half the size it should be. The campaign funds won’t increase the bed count in the

mental health unit since funding for additional beds has to come through the Ministry of Health. However, Adams said a request has been made to the province to increase the number of beds to a total of 28 and increase the unit’s footprint.

If approved, the mental health unit will expand to the floor above — making the second floor the patient care area with the bottom floor designated for outpatient services.

“Our philanthropic project will make incredible improvements to the unit, but if the Ministry of Health comes alongside us it will be transformational,” said Adams. “We would be able to significantly upgrade the entire program.”

The ministry is assessing the hospital’s submission report, which was endorsed by the Local Health Integration Network, said ministry spokesperson David Jensen, in an email.

“Ministry staff has been work-

ing closely with the hospital and will provide comments to the hospital on the pre-capital submission sometime this month,” he wrote. “The ministry will advise the hospital if this proposal is to move forward.”

Even with all the challenges the mental health unit faces, the treatment and care often surpasses that offered by others.

“In spite of the environment and physical space challenges, when benchmarked against our peers we have some of the most outstanding significant results for our patients, which I think is quite a feat and it speaks hugely to the staff and the commitment and the work that’s being done in the unit,” said Adams.

“Much like the cancer survivor, I think we’re going to be seeing the mental health survivors,” she continued. “There’s hope, and that’s what the campaign is really all about.”

PM kicks off cross-country tour in Manotick

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Coffee talk at Miller's Oven in Manotick may not be the same for some time, after the prime minister stopped in to the popular non-profit eatery on Thursday to kick off his cross-country tour to stay connected to Canadians.

"It was a little overwhelming, but it was good," said Manotick resident Anne Mask, following the early morning visit on Jan. 12. "You know, small non-profit restaurant, to be the first on his tour ... You can't pay for that kind of advertising.

"We felt very blessed," said Mask, a longtime restaurant board member and volunteer.

It marks the first time a Canadian prime minister has visited the volunteer-run restaurant, which has been in operation within the 150-plus-year-old restaurant since 1983. Proceeds from its operation are donated to charity.

"This was a huge deal," said Mask, who still doesn't know why Miller's Oven was selected to host Trudeau's tour launch site. "They obviously knew who we were because when I spoke to the gentleman from the prime minister's office, he knew a lot about us."

The restaurant team only learned the morning of Jan. 9 that Trudeau would be stopping in to the popular restaurant to chat with local residents to mark the beginning of his tour to communities

@JustinTrudeau/Twitter

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau greets Miller’s Oven volunteers and staffers North Gower resident Mary Newman (left), Manotick resident Jerry Mask, Nepean resident and chef Kerry Crosby and Mask’s wife Anne during a visit to the non-profit restaurant in Manotick on Jan. 12. across Canada.

Mask didn't hear anything after that initial phone call until three people from the prime minister's office came to the restaurant on Wednesday. Then RCMP officers came by that day to meet with staff and volunteers and explain next steps.

"They were going to come in, they would sweep the building," she said of

the RCMP's plan to sweep for bugs, check the exits and get a lay of the land.

"They also wanted to see it so they went through the building when they were here."

She was initially asked to keep the visit hush-hush until the prime minister's team was ready to announce the plans, though she was permitted to tell volunteers, the restaurant's board chair-

person and full-time cook, Nepean resident Kerry Crosby, about the visit.

"You couldn't tell regular customers because first of all we don't have their phone numbers," said Mask, a longtime Manotick resident.

The cat was officially out of the bag the morning of the visit, at around 4:30 a.m.

Trudeau was initially to arrive at 8 a.m., but the plan was changed to 9 a.m. and he showed up around 9:30 a.m.

Mask and her team began their preparations the day before, trading in the snowman-themed tablecloths for white covers and ordering flowers from Mill Street Florists in Manotick to mark the occasion.

"I thought, this is special," said Mask, who also invited over the florists to meet the prime minister.

Restaurant volunteers and staff arrived ready to go around 7 a.m.

Trudeau's advance team and police including a sniffer police dog - and arrived not long afterward and the buzz of anticipation began to build.

With officials, regular customers, volunteers and journalists, all 46 seats at the restaurant were soon filled.

"I think it went well. We had a huge turnout," said Mask, who greeted Trudeau at the front door of the eatery, located on Mill Street. "We're not a big restaurant."

Though the restaurant was brimming with people, there was still room

for many customers who regularly come for coffee and breakfast.

"We did have some regulars who came in and they got to sit down - not in their normal seats - and a lot of our volunteers came in," said Mask.

"He was chatting with everybody," she said. "I think he enjoyed himself."

Though Trudeau was only scheduled to speak with locals for about 20 minutes, he ended up staying for about 45 minutes.

He visited each of the 14 tables, but didn't have a chance to eat or drink from the menu. Before leaving to make stops in Brockville, Kingston, Napanee, Belleville and Quinte West that same day, the Miller's Oven team presented Trudeau with a parting gift, a cookbook that also includes some of Manotick's history.

"I don't think we can top it," Mask said of the history-making visit. "This was fabulous."

Conservative Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, whose constituency office is located next door to the eatery in Manotick, did not take part in the Liberal prime minister's visit to the village, but he issued a statement.

"The best way he can improve life for people in Manotick and everywhere else is to discipline his out-of-control deficit spending and lower taxes so small businesses can afford to hire and pay more to Canadian workers," Poilievre wrote.

"Hopefully, he will get that message and get it done."

25,000 square foot GoodLife Fitness opens in Stittsville

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

A two-storey high mural urging “Live YOUR GOODLIFE” which even highlights some Stittsville landmarks like the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena catches the eye when entering the new GoodLife Fitness facility in Stittsville. But what is even more eye catching is the vast array of fitness equipment that is spread throughout the 25,000 square foot building.

The lower level of the two-storey facility features what general manager Greg Yandt refers to as “individual space” where it’s all about pursuing fitness in the way and on the equipment that best suits the person.

So you have a row of fitness stations that a person can rotate through, receiving a complete, yet custom fitness workout in just 20 minutes.

This is GoodLife’s well known “Fit Fix.” There’s also the “turf zone,” 50 feet long and 20 feet wide which is easily identified by its green flooring. This is an area catering to strength training and cardio work, with such fitness aides available such as a sled to push across the turf.

The “turf zone” has proven to be a popular feature of GoodLife Fitness clubs, although at present there are only a few among the 18 clubs now in the Ottawa area.

Then there’s the resistance and strength training area, with its mirrored walls that help a person check positioning. It’s an extensive area that a person can experience on his or her own or with a personal trainer.

And let’s not forget the area closest to that

two-storey mural – the cardio equipment area where there’s lots of equipment to choose from, all equipped with small screens so that you can watch TV while working out. General manager Yandt calls it the club”s “cardio theatre” with its proliferation of screens. You can keep up with the latest news or watch that sporting event while exercising. What a way to make the most of your time! It also helps to take your mind off your physical activity, making for a more enjoyable experience!

This downstairs level at this new GoodLife Fitness facility in Stittsville also includes two other areas. One is a separate training area especially geared for the beginner. It allows someone not familiar with the equipment to get comfortable with it in the relative privacy of this space.

You are not out there trying to learn among veteran users, perhaps feeling somewhat inadequate in their presence. No, you have your own separate space where you can try out what you want. Getting familiar with the equipment also reduces the possibility of any injuries from improper use of the equipment.

The downstairs area also is where the facility’s “Jump” child minding area is located. It is where a member can leave children aged 6 months to 11 years old for care as they go off to do a workout. The area has games and other attractions to keep a youngster busy in a supervised space.

And it has the added advantage that it gets the younger generation used to going to GoodLife Fitness. Indeed, “Jump” stands for “Juniors Up and Coming Members Program.” When these youngsters turn 12 years old, GoodLife Fitness membership is open to them.

While not a specific piece of fitness equipment, the stairway to the second floor’s three group fitness studios is itself a climb that challenges. Of course, there’s also an elevator that can be used as well.

Upstairs, there’s a group cycling studio where spinning classes are offered from two to five times a day, led by an instructor. But if you are not there when a class is scheduled or if you prefer doing the cycling as an individual or with a friend, there’s always the “virtual fitness” feature. It allows a person to experience the instruc-

tion and music via a screen in the studio, just the same experience as if a class were taking place and a live instructor were there. Yet there’s only you and the screen there.

Upstairs is also where you will find the hot yoga studio which offers an unbelievably quiet spot, quite different from the energy and sounds generated through the rest of the facility by those working out. The quiet is possible thanks to moisture resistant studio walls that act as a complete sound barrier.

GoodLife Fitness offers hot yoga Continued from page 34

Once in the hot yoga studio, there is a calm undisturbed atmosphere. Add to this the studio’s non-slip flooring and its warm air filtration system that simultaneously warms, cleans and freshens the air to allow for a focused, effective and healthy yoga experience and you have an oasis of yoga pleasure. And don’t forget the experienced instructors that will be leading the classes.

Yoga is one of the popular trends in fitness today, general manager Yandt notes, saying that this new hot yoga studio provides a perfectly quiet, tranquil and relaxing spot where a person can de-stress while enjoying the benefits that come from the yoga experience. Not every GoodLife Fitness facility is blessed with such a hot yoga studio but this newly built Stittsville facility has this state-of-theart studio. There are anywhere from two to five hot yoga classes each day.

Yet another group fitness studio found on the upper floor at this new GoodLife Fitness club in Stittsville is the main fitness studio where various types of classes are held including yoga, cardio and dance. It’s a place where you can have fun with others in a group setting while achieving your fitness.

The upstairs area also has another Fit Fix circuit, similar to the one downstairs in that the same exercises and rotation are featured but this one has equipment from a different manufacturer which some might prefer, not only because it requires fewer adjustments but also because it can help a person better focus on a certain muscle group that needs improving. The upstairs area is also where the change rooms are located, including lockers available for daily use as well as showers and a very popular sauna.

This new GoodLife Fitness club in Stittsville currently has about 30 on staff. The role of GoodLife Fitness staff is to find out from the member what he or she wants to accomplish with regard to fitness and then to develop a plan to let them move towards this goal. Each new member can also get familiar with the fitness equipment thanks to that first floor separate area where a beginner can become accustomed to the equipment and its use.

This new GoodLife Fitness club in Stittsville is located at the Stittsville Corners shopping area, with the building

A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Work at my business has slowed down quite a bit this year. I currently have 11 employees but there is not enough work to go around. I should be getting a set of new contracts that will keep everyone busy this spring, but I’d like to make some temporary layoffs in the meantime to avoid having to let anyone go for good. I’ve discussed this with business colleagues who told me that temporary layoffs are not permitted for non-unionized employees. What are my options?

The law applicable to temporary layoffs in Ontario can be confusing. The Employment Standards Act does allow temporary layoffs of up to 13 weeks in a 20 week period. In certain seasonal industries, such as construction, temporary layoffs over the winter months are fairly common. However, in other workplaces courts in Ontario have treated temporary layoffs as constructive dismissals and have ordered employers to provide termination and severance pay.

of the employee’s contract. Depending on the nature of the work, such layoffs may even be permitted when an employee is working with an unwritten contract. A temporary layoff is also more likely to be permitted if an employee remains entitled to benefits and can access Employment Insurance during their time off. During any such layoff it is important to inform the employee that the layoff is temporary and to provide them with a return to work date. Finally, a temporary layoff should not be In recent years, some Ontario court decisions have used as a form of discipline to punish an employee for allowed temporary layoffs provided employers comply misconduct – that will most certainly result in a claim with both the Employment Standards Act and the terms for constructive dismissal.
