A look a head for ward 5 Councillor to meet with mayor on hydro options Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Now a month into 2016, West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry is looking ahead to what’s coming up for the ward in the rest of the year.

The first item is to see what options are available after Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One were unable to come to an agreement for the transfer of rural customers.

“I have initiated a meeting with the mayor and the rural councillors to really have a discussion, what’s our option now, moving forward with the utility,” said the councillor.

Hydro Ottawa announced it couldn’t reach a deal with Hydro One to transfer the 45,000 rural customers still outside the city’s utility fold on Dec. 22. The difference in cost-per-household is about $300 per year.

After months of negotiations between the two power utili-

ties, Hydro Ottawa concluded it would be “financially irresponsible” to acquire those customers, said Hydro Ottawa CEO Bryce Conrad.

Senior officials from both utility companies met a number of times since June to exchange financial data and models, but they couldn’t arrive at an agreement.

The announcement was a disappointment to El-Chantiry.

However, there may still be options available.

“We just want to meet with the mayor and find out if anything can be done, if we have to lobby the provincial government to pressure the energy board to transfer those customers with minimum cost.”

He added that not everyone is upset; many in the business community pay less for electricity through Hydro One. “So one group is pushing you to transfer and you get another group saying we’re happy,” said El-Chantiry. “That’s something we need to talk about.”

Although rural customers aren’t paying Hydro Ottawa rates, he said they’re still benefitting.

“We (the city) receive about $16- to $18-million dollar divi-

dends from Hydro Ottawa. That money goes to the general coffers. Even as a rural resident we still benefit from the success of Hydro Ottawa,” he said.

El-Chantiry said once the meeting with the mayor and rural councillors was complete he would update residents on the options available.

DEVELOPMENT

El-Chantiry said he’s also working with the Carp Corridor BIA to determine if it’s feasible to bring water and sewer to the growing business area.

Widening of March Road pushed down priority list Continued from page 1

The group has been looking at the possibility of city servicing for a number of years as the working population continues to grow along the corridor.

“In the last 10 years the Carp corridor has seen an increase from 2,500 to 3,000 people working in those areas,” said ElChantiry. “If you want to transition that area from what it is today to have more employment I think the sewers and water is going to be the next step up we need.”

The Kanata North and Stittsville area has also exploded with growth near the corridor, so the idea is to connect with the servicing to one of those wards.

Along that same vein, development at the Carp Airport should begin in earnest this year.

“We’re very optimistic this year is going to be the year

they start developing,” said the councillor.

“This year you’re going to see a lot more movement in that part. The first development taking place is aviation, commercial businesses but then they’re going to start residential I believe this year as well. That’s good news to create local jobs.”

ROADS

Although certain areas in West Carleton are developing, the overall growth is down across the board in the city – meaning there’s been a decline in development charge revenue.

“What we, the city, was expecting to receive in development charges we’re almost receiving half,” said El-Chantiry.

“With slower development, it means we’re doing less.”

Development charges help pay to maintain infrastructure and to upgrade roads. Without

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry looks ahead at what will be happening - or won’t - in ward 5 this year. the revenue the city was expecting, the list of roads to fix is getting longer, said the councillor.

The widening of March Road (from Maxwell Bridge to Dunrobin Road) didn’t make the last transportation master plan, said El-Chantiry, but was first on the list after the cut-off. Due to the decline in development

charge revenue, the widening of March Road continues to be pushed down the list.

“We need to keep an eye on this; it’s important to us,” said El-Chantiry. “The traffic on that road is phenomenal in the morning and the evening.”

Last year, ward 5 was successful in procuring the vast majority of the city’s road budget – one third of the total allotment went to West Carleton.

“I don’t expect that will be every year, but we still have a list of roads we’d like to see (fixed),” said El-Chantiry. “It’s a moving target. We have over 838 kilometres of roads.”

The major roadways have all received upgrades over the past six years, so the focus now is on residential roads, said El-Chantiry.

The final portion of repaving Kinburn Side Road is just waiting on approval from the Ministry of the Environment and the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority for the drainage work needed before the road is fixed.

El-Chantiry said he expects drainage work to begin in early summer and the paving to take place later in the season.

March Road overpass work planned Anyone wishing to find out details about planned improvements to the March Road overpass of Highway 417 is invited to an information session today (Thursday) in Carp.

The Ministry of Transportation is holding the public session from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Huntley Community Association Mess Hall at 2240 Craig’s Side Road.

The bridge over the highway is in line for rehabilitation in the form of patching, waterproofing and paving of its deck.

As well the MTO will undertake repairs to the barrier wall and install a new retaining wall, as well as repair a culvert under the highway about 130 metres west of March Road. The pipe will be replaced by a concrete box culvert.

The ministry has retained WSP/ MMM Group to design the projects and conduct an environmental assessment study.

The work will require detours and likely mean the temporary closure of the offramps. Any changes will be co-ordinated with the City of Ottawa.

Members of the project team will be on hand at today’s meeting to explain the impacts of the project and answer people’s questions.

The March Road overpass was built in 1992 and needs the work, the first major project in its history, to exend its life.

McCrimmon repays Sens’ $600 gift Kanata-Carleton MP says ethics commissioner gave go-ahead to accept ticket Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon has reimbursed the Ottawa Senators after she accepted the gift of a ticket to an Ontario Liberal fundraiser worth $600.

The Senators invited McCrimmon to attend the Ottawa Trillium Dinner at the Shaw Centre on Nov. 30 after she met with the team – a “very important business” in her riding, she said.

The Senators had purchased tickets for a table at the event, which acts as a fundraiser for the Ontario Liberal Party.

“We thought it appropriate to invite our local MP to hear the deputy premier speak,” said Brian Morris, a spokesperson with the Senators.

According to the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, a member of the House of Commons must not accept any gift or benefit that “might reasonably be seen to have given to influence the member in the exercise of a duty or function of his or her office.”

The code goes on to specifically include gifts related to attending a charitable or political event. However, it also says gifts may be accepted if

received “as a normal expression of courtesy or protocol, or within the customary standards of hospitality that normally accompany the Member’s position.”

Before accepting the ticket, McCrimmon said she reached out to the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner for guidance, and said she was given the go-ahead.

“They came back to me and said, ‘I see no legal, ethical or conflict of interests concerns with accepting this offer.’ So I did,” said McCrimmon.

In accordance with the code, McCrimmon also filed a statement with the ethics commissioner saying she had accepted an invitation to attend the dinner from Senators Sports & Entertainment.

This is required for gifts valued $500 or more, though McCrimmon did not post the value of the ticket.

Despite getting an OK from the commissioner’s office, McCrimmon later paid the Senators back the cost of the ticket, which Morris confirmed.

“Regardless of the judgement of the office, I mean there could be a perception out there of impropriety and I probably should have thought that through,” said McCrimmon.

“It’s a good reminder that perception is indeed as important as the reality.”

In response to reported criticism by the NDP’s ethics critic, MP Alexandre Boulerice, McCrimmon said: “There are a

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Trillium Line Extension The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Trillium Line Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Road and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

The plan includes options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands.

The plan also incorporates new stations on the existing line at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights.

Impacts to private property are anticipated to be limited to the areas adjacent to the proposed Lester Road and Leitrim Road grade separations.

In an interview with the Review, Boulerice said though McCrimmon’s acceptance of the ticket was legal, it was “against the spirit of the law.”

“A gift of that amount of money … maybe one day will put you in a strange situation where you will have to decide between your new friends, the Senators, and the law that you should put forward about maybe professional teams and sports,” he said.

“I would not accept a gift for that kind of amount of money. That’s really too much, almost ridiculous,” said Boulerice.

Huntley talk to focus on student procrastination A public session aimed at helping parents understand their children’s procrastination will be held this evening (Thursday, Jan. 28) at Huntley Centennial Public School.

The public is welcome at the talk to be given by educator Dr. Tim Pyschyl in the school at 7 p.m.

As parents know, procrastination begins early with their children saying things like ‘I don’t feel like it’, ‘I don’t want to’, ‘I’ll feel more like it tomorrow’ and ‘I’ll do more on the weekend’.

In fact, research reveals that 95 per cent of students report procrastinating on their schoolwork, notes Pyschyl.

Many are troubled by this

needless delay, as it is related to poorer academic performance, decreased well-being and even health problems.

In this one-hour presentation with questions and answers, Pychyl will summarize why we procrastinate, the consequences of this self-regulation failure and strategies for change. Together, participants will look at how to solve the procrastination puzzle with a particular emphasis on the development of emotional intelligence and skills to enhance willpower.

Pyschyl is the director of the Centre for Initiatives in Education and associate professor in the Department of

Psychology at Carleton University. He’s also a Huntley Centennial parent where his children are in grades 3 and 5.

He has been researching and writing about procrastination for more than 20 years. The author of Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change (Tarcher/Penguin, 2013), Pyschyl has travelled across the country consulting and speaking to a wide range of professionals and school groups.

To learn more before or after the session, visit procrastination.ca for access to his research, Psychology Today blog or iProcrastinate podcast.

Which Of These Neuropathy Symptoms Do You Suffer From?

If You Suffer From A Single One Of These Torturous Symptoms – Numbness, Tingling, Or Sharp Nerve Pain – THEN THE FACTS BELOW MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT YOU HAVE EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE!

Maybe you've had multiple tests, only to find out no one has any idea what you have. Maybe you've even been put on a drug with heavy side effects.

Do you have any of the following symptoms...

• • • • •

Pins and needles feeling Numbness in the hands or feet Tingling or burning sensations Weakness in the arms or legs Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

My name is Dr. Kelly Graham, clinic director at Dunrobin Family Chiropractic. I've been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 16 years.

More than 1 million Canadians suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs.

This painful condition interferes with your body's ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.

Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy?

Data from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners' Job Analysis of Chiropractic lists arm and leg neuropathy as the second most common nerve problem treated by chiropractors.

Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The Single Most Important Solution To Your Neuropathy By using gentle techniques, I'm able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

6 West Carleton Review - Thursday, January 28, 2016

“I had severe pain on the right side of my neck, down my arm and to my fingertips. I wasn’t able to sleep due to the intense pain, and if so I’d be woken up with numbness in my hand and fingers.

I tried many traditional temporary pain relievers with no long-lasting aid.

Within the first few adjustments I was able to have a full night’s rest. The pain in my neck and arm has decreased significantly and the numbness is gone!”

“It’s amazing! I can move so much more easily.

My pain level has been reduced more than I could have ever believed it could.”

“No more leg pain. I feel better and have more energy, I can take walks and feel great” These patients agree that with chiropractic care, you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

How To Find Out If This Will Work For You It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution.

For 15 days only, $39 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $185 for!

What does this offer include? Everything.

Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination including state of the art neurological scans.

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms… (NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $100).

• A thorough analysis of your exam, scans and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• You’ll get to see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients.

The appointment will not take long at all. And you won't be sitting in a waiting room all day either.

Here's What To Do Now The offer is only good until February 12. Call today 613-832-3335 and we can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam, scans and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening.

Our office is located in the Dunrobin Plaza, just a few minutes from you.

When you call, tell us you’d like to come in for the Neuropathy Evaluation so we can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Sincerely, Kelly Graham, D.C., BSc.(H.K) P.S. At our office, we have specialized treatment programs for treating patients who suffer from neuropathy.

Why suffer with years of misery?

That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy solution to your problem.

Don't live in pain when we may have the solution you've been looking for all along.

I’m still in shock,� he said.

His first big purchase is for his parents. “They deserve an 80-inch television and that’s exactly what they are getting,� he beamed.

The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on Elgin Street in Ottawa.

Waiting on the Galetta groundhog Will the Galetta groundhog see his shadow next Tuesday?

Snowmobilers, ski hill owners, ice fishers and winter carnival organizers are hoping he does.

For if he and Woodlawn Willie emerge from their burrows on Groundhog Day (Feb. 2) and see their shadows, it supposed to mean at least six more weeks of winter.

And with it plenty of snow for skiing, snowmobiling and winter fun in general.

If they don’t see their shadows (the long-range forecast is for a

cloudy Feb. 2), then spring will come early.

Which isn’t good news for winter carnivals and fun days in Kinburn (Feb. 13, 15), Corkery (Feb. 15) and Fitzroy (18-20), as well as the West Carleton snowmobile poker run Feb. 13 and ice fishing derbies hosted by the West Carleton Fish and Game Club and Dunrobin Meat and Grocery.

However, with winter starting so late, nobody will be surprised if winter weather lasts well into March and even infringes on April.

Macnamara Naturalists

Michael Runtz collects dead birds - specimens for his lab at Carleton University.

Early every February, a select few are escorted to the upper room of the curling club in Arnprior, where they are respectfully laid out on mid-sized tables, in the company of other examples of nature.

They become the subject of much scrutiny and debate as small groups of people rotate around the room bent on identifying objects and deciphering clues to wild and wonderful riddles born from Michael’s knowledge and imagination.

Answers are whispered, person to person. It is a competition after all, with top point gatherers accorded bragging rights.

It’s the annual Macnamara quiz night!

Who will tally the most points this year? With Art Goldsmith away in the wilds of Florida, will

those assigned to Gord Vogg’s team win again? Come and find out.

This is an awesome and exhilarating way to learn about local natural history.

Michael’s contagious enthusiasm, keen insight into the intricacies of nature and the countless anecdotes of his experiences as a naturalist always make for a very entertaining evening.

Participants will be divided into teams that will compete to answer riddles and identify items from nature. No experience necessary.

The Macnamara Field Naturalists Club quiz night will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Arnprior Curling Club. Meetings (and presentations) are free for club members and $5 for guests.

The quiz portion of the evening follows the regular agenda of sightings.

A $2 million lottery ticket was sold in Carp this month.

The lucky ticket-holders of the winning Ontario 49 draw on Jan. 9 are Deborah Tipping and Steven Snow of Pakenham.

They bought the winning ticket at Faith’s Foodliner Grocery Store on Donald B Munro Drive in Carp.

The pair parleyed an investment of $1 into $2 million in the draw.

Ontario 49 costs $1 per play, with draws taking place every Wednesday and Saturday.

Meanwhile, one of two secondplace winning tickets in the Lotto Max draw of Jan. 22 was sold in the Ottawa area. The ticket is worth $364,958.70.

The recent run of luck shows Toronto area people don’t win all the Lotto 6/49 prizes after all.

Three other Ottawa area residents won major prizes last. Included was Ruth Hiscock of Kanata who earned $151,058.50 from the Oct. 10 Lotto 6/49 draw.

She matched five out of six numbers plus the bonus number for the windfall. “That ticket was at my home for a week before I finally checked it,� confessed Hiscock while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where she picked up her winnings. “I thought I had won $75 and called my daughter in Newfoundland to double-check – what a shock.�

She admits the win is finally starting to sink in. “Coming to the OLG Prize Centre to pick up the cheque definitely helped,� she laughed.

Hiscock wants to share the prize money with her family.

The winning ticket was bought at Sobeys on Terry Fox Drive in Kanata.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March KINBURN CLIENT SERVICE CENTRE – PILOT PROJECT RESULTS In August 2015 a six month pilot project began whereby the Kinburn Client Services Centre was opened early at 7:30am on the first Wednesday of each month. This idea had been suggested by a resident as a way of helping those individuals who needed to the visit the Client Service Centre but couldn’t do so during regular business hours.

During the six early opens, only three transactions occurred between 7:30am and 8:30am. Due to this low resident usage, as of February 2016, the Client Services Centre hours will revert back to its normal 8:30am to 4:30pm schedule every Wednesday.

EDITORIAL

Thank you for reading, dear readers

I

f you’re reading this then you’re most likely a believer in print newspapers.

It’s an admirable trait in these web-focused and fragile economic times, when newspapers are grasping for a toehold to survive staggering losses in subscribers, readers and revenue as the world jumps ship to the Internet.

Journalists across the country watched as news broke on Twitter on Jan. 19 that 90 journalists at Sun papers in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, including 12 at the Ottawa Sun, had been axed from the Postmedia newspaper chain, the latest round of deep job cuts in an industry already reeling from recent eliminations at the CBC and CTV. Postmedia chief executive Paul Godfrey explained the downsizing in a staff memo: “As you know, we have announced a cost cutting program aimed at finding at least $80 million in savings before the end of fiscal 2017. “That significant of an initiative requires looking at everything in a new way and considering approaches we have never taken – truly nothing is off the table. We know that we can’t make meaningful headway against our challenges without great ef-

fort.� And, most obviously, not without extraordinary loss – people-wise.

A dozen crucial voices gone in a blink from the Ottawa reporting landscape, taking their perspectives and encyclopedic knowledge of their beats with them. No longer digging up the stories our dwindling numbers strive to tell on multiple platforms.

Godfrey said in each of those markets, one editor will oversee two newspaper brands, that most newsroom resources will be shared and ... “Stories covered will be adapted by platform at a rewrite desk dedicated to ensuring that the right voice and content makes it to the right brand and platform.�

The advent of rewrite desks and the silencing of 90 journalists is a tremendous blow, and not only to remaining journalists and sources.

Ultimately, the readers lose out. And the trend – whether in axe form or buyouts – will continue.

So thank you, dear reader, for believing in newspapers, for not just skimming the headlines, and more importantly, for not skipping them altogether. Those of us still working our beats are glad you do.

Living in a city we can easily live with

P

eople have been having a rollicking good time in the local media fighting over whether Ottawa is as great a city as it should be.

I particularly enjoyed Paul Wells’s devastating take in Maclean’s (www.macleans.ca/news/canada/ world-class-whine-why-ottawashaters-are-wrong/).

If you have lived in Ottawa for a while, you know it all by heart. But you never get tired of it. It’s an essential feature of life in the nation’s capital.

The main arguments should be familiar by now. Ottawa lacks world-class this and world-class that.

Ottawa not like Paris, too few good restaurants, museums not up to snuff, crowded road from the airport, Ottawa not like Washington,

live in it all year. And many of the things that make that city great, or not, are invisible to the visitor.

The visitor doesn’t see the school system, the policing, the snow removal, the recreation program, the garbage pickup, the recycling system. Aside from the road to and from the airport, he has little experience of the traffic or the transit.

He sees, or doesn’t see, wide boulevards, big statues, lavish convention facilities and decides that this is a great city, or isn’t.

This would be after he has a fiveminute chat with the taxi driver to take the pulse of the community.

He has little sense of how ordinary people live. In many of the impressive cities of the world, such as New York or London, people with ordinary incomes can’t live anywhere near the centre of town.

That would be true of Vancouver too, often cited as a great city.

Is it a great city if you can’t afford to live in it? Is it a great city if the streets and bridges leading downtown are clogged?

Looked at it this way, Ottawa may well be a greater city than Vancouver.

To look at it from another perspective, a visitor might deplore the spread of ugly condo developments in downtown Toronto and deem it unworthy of a great city. And of course we love it when we hear people trash Toronto.

Yet those unsightly condo developments enable people of less than huge incomes to live downtown and support stores, restaurants and bars. That can’t be a bad thing, maybe a great thing, although of no visible impact to someone from out of town.

(Another thing that makes Toronto great: competing daily newspapers.)

Predictable as the debate is, it’s useful to have it from time to time (as we do). It never hurts to discuss what makes a city great, what a city lacks and doesn’t lack.

It doesn’t hurt to appreciate what we have and identify what we need.

And it helps to pass the time while we wait for LeBreton Flats.

Opening road allowance would not resolve problems ing access for ATVs, snowmobiles, pedestrians, horse riders and cyclists (Mr. Yagminas was incorrect in suggesting I had complained about ATV use or other minor infractions but were serious in nature and disruptive to the owners of this property) with keys being given to those who had legitimate access or land abutting the road.

This road has signage indicating there is ‘no exit’ and is not in any condition that it can be accessed safely, but has become a haven for illegal activities and reckless behaviour, including setting fires according to our neighbor, Mr. Yagminas, and is not available for the enjoyment of any other resident.

Numerous requests were made to Eli El-Chantiry to open a discussion on past and recent events on this road allowance, which have escalated and now constitute a public safety issue, and all requests have been refused.

Eli’s refusal to reserve decision until he has visited the site and refusal to open a file on

this matter with adequate consultation to ensure all neighbours interests and safety are considered has led us to file a complaint with the provincial ombudsman under Bill 8, the Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act. According to the recent West Carleton article, Eli has made the decision to “open” the road allowance, citing that it’s required use by other neighbours.

We do not understand this to be the case and this road is issue to many others in the area aside from us; this is precisely why the above cost effective compromise was suggested for fair use, in light of the problems.

We are very concerned over the immediate and ongoing costs versus benefits of Eli’s decision and how it was arrived at, as we understand many years ago it was cost prohibitive (in the millions) to bring the road up to municipal standards and limit the City’s liability.

The above solution would allow ATV, snowmobile, horse,

bicycle and pedestrian traffic, in keeping with the City’s recreational mandate, and would also satisfy the periodic needs for access.

According to Eli’s West Carleton Review interview, his idea of partially “opening” the road entails dumping a layer of gravel on it without any surface preparation or foundational work.

Not only is this unsafe and amateurish, the cost of the 30,000 yards of gravel plus labour, only to have it wash away in run-off, is a waste of City and taxpayer money.

Additionally, it would increase maintenance costs, increase access for undesired activities, would exclude horse and select bicycle traffic, would be insufficient in meeting road requirements and would contravene the legal opinion set out below from the City solicitor. It is our understanding that police would still not be able to access an unmaintained road allowance as prohibited by their insurance.

To the Editor: Thank you West Carleton Review for bringing attention to the recent poisoning of our dogs and beating of our horse.

The article was interesting in many respects even though we know the story.

However, just to clear up speculation, we are not aware of any issue with our neighbours, the Yagminas, and have no reason to believe they had any issue with us. We have always been social, civil and they were always comfortable asking for neighbourly favours.

Even visits by their dog were never an issue. After all, respect and safety of people and pets should be fostered between neighbours, right?

The only issue we have, that I am aware of, is we disagree with the use of the road, which can be resolved with compromise and wherein closing off the road was never suggested.

Instead, a solution was presented where coded-keyed bollards or gate arms would be installed on either end allow-

but they cannot cut trees or do any substantive work on the road, such as grading it, or removing obstructions.

2. While the public generally may also use an unopened road allowance, they are under the same restrictions as listed in #7 above.

3. If the unopened road allowance is unsafe for use, the municipality should for liability reasons restrict its use.

I believe that from as an expenditure perspective, there are many other issues that take priority in this community.

An email sent from Ernest L McArthur, solicitor for the City, a few years ago on this matter, where he observed: 1. While abutting landowners are entitled to use an unopened road allowance to get to their lands, they must do their own maintenance of that unopened road allowance,

An ode to Codesville McCode DIANA FISHER

For two days I have had a migraine. I think it’s because my head has been wrung dry of any more tears.

I have been crying at the slightest mention of my silly old geriatric dog Cody, who we had to put to sleep this week. He was in his 17th year.

We have been trying to make this decision for a while now, the Farmer and I. Cody the Wonder Dog has been starting to really show his age this past year.

First he went stone deaf.

Then his hind legs started to give out on him on his daily walk. Then the inevitable loss of control over his bodily functions. I think he started to lose his eyesight as well.

The one thing our old Gordon Setter never lost was his appetite. Or his youthful spirit. We knew he was old, but he didn’t.

The Farmer adopted

Accidental Farmwife

Cody about 15 years ago.

The two-year-old dog was rejected by an apartmentdweller who said he received a failing grade in obedience school. That I can believe. The only instruction Cody can follow is “sit.”

I also wondered at someone who thought a Gordon Setter was a good choice for an apartment dog. He is quite large.

Cody has only two bad behaviours: he runs away whenever he sees the opportunity, and he has an insatiable appetite, unable to resist the temptation of unattended food.

He once ate an entire boneless rib roast that I was defrosting for our Sun-

day dinner. He didn’t leave a trace. The only evidence was his burp.

Cody joined us in the house several times a day, where he would lie on his blanket in front of the TV, next to the fire. On extremely cold or stifling hot nights we would bring him upstairs to sleep beside our bed. But for the most part, he was an outdoor dog.

When I first met Cody, I thought it strange that he was always tied up. Surely he can be loose on the property, I thought.

I thought wrong. The moment that dog was off his leash, he would bound down the road and into a neighbour’s yard or garage, to check out their garbage.

Even when his legs no longer worked, his brain told him to run. He made it partway down the road and collapsed, rolling himself out of harm’s way into the ditch. He was brought

home by a neighbour more than once. Covered in mud.

And so tied up he remained. Perhaps that is why he lived so long – because he couldn’t get into things that might otherwise hurt him. He had a pretty controlled environment.

You have to take stairs to get into our house, so eventually even that was a problem for dear old Codesville McCode. If ice coated the steps, he lost his confidence altogether and barked for us to help him in his soft little voice. He lost his loud bark months ago.

Finally we decided it was time. He had a good long life, we told ourselves. But still, it was very difficult.

I took Cody’s photo one last time, kissed him on his forehead, wiped his rheumy eyes and said goodbye. The Farmer took him on his final trip to the vet.

When I got home that night, everything seemed so quiet. The usual black hairy mass emerging from

the shadows to greet me was no longer there.

I let myself into the house and gave the Farmer a hug. Silly old dog. We miss him so much.

Next, I had to tell the girls. I couldn’t do it over the phone, so I sent an email.

There will be something missing from our family gathering this Sunday. It bops up and down on the porch in front of the kitchen window, ears flapping, barking silently, asking to be let in. To lie on the blanket in front of the fire, for as long as his heavy winter coat can stand. To be with his family. His people.

Thanks, Cody, for your years of service as our watchdog, our peoplegreeter, our entertainment and companion.

Go now and run, puppy-brain. And eat all the dessert.

Access road affects residents Continued from page 9

4. If the unopened road allowance is being “exploited” (as a garbage dump site for example), the municipality might consider closing it with barricades, and with signs, for both liability and practical reasons.

5. The City of Ottawa might consider passing an omnibus bylaw, pursuant to Section 35 of the Municipal Act, in which it lists certain unopened road allowances within the City, and the use that can be made, or not, of each of them. Section 35 provides that a municipality may pass bylaws removing or restricting the common law right of passage by the public over a highway.

In light of the illegal activities, such as five arrests made Dec. 28, 2015 at 12:45 a.m. that have been reported on and around this road allowance, as well as others in the area as expressed by other residents, we would expect that this decision would be carefully considered and that it is incumbent upon Eli to engage all residents affected and to collaborate with OPS as this is a City and a policing issue, having implications on both budgets.

Two local birds have made great comebacks Michael Runtz Nature’s Way chemical. However, this was too late for many birds including Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles.

In each level of the food web, DDT accumulated (bioaccumulation). Thus, top avian predators ended up with extremely high levels of toxins in their system, levels that resulted in thinning eggshells and ultimately reproductive failure.

Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons became flagships for environmental groups. Both had their populations decimated by DDT, and both received protection under the Endangered Species Act. Their nests were safeguarded and closely monitored, and, additionally, young birds were released into the wild to supplement the population.

Both species have rebounded admirably, and are no longer listed as endangered. Now nesting at many locations along the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers, Bald Eagles have

Merlins are one of the very few birds of prey known to hunt cooperatively. Pairs have been observed capturing waxwings by having one Merlin fly up under a target and flushing it for the other to grab with its talons.

Which to me makes Merlins very “talon-ted” birds indeed!

Since I was a young boy, there have been many changes in local birdlife.

Loggerhead Shrikes were once fairly common (I found five nests on one walk) and now they are completely absent from our area. On the other hand, Turkey Vultures were rare here during my youth and now they are commonly sights, especially when dining on road-killed animals.

The change in their numbers reflects a northward expansion in their range.

There are two other species that now are common, but as a child I seldom saw encountered. Unlike vultures, however, these species did not experience a northward expansion in their range.

They were rare when I was young because their populations had been decimated by DDT poisoning.

DDT, the acronym for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is an insecticide that was used in World War II to control malaria and typhus. In 1948, Paul Hermann Muller, the man who discovered its deadly effects on insects, was awarded a Nobel Prize. After the war, DDT was widely used in North America to control agricultural pests.

But concerns over DDT’s effects on ecosystems and even humans arose. ‘Silent Spring’, Rachel Carson’s landmark book, kick-started an environmental movement that eventually resulted in 1972 in the banning of the

With Christmas awkwardly placed on a Sunday this calendar year, there isn’t an obvious two-week holiday break for school boards.

So the English public board is polling parents with an online survey asking if parents would rather their children attend school: • up until Dec. 23 and return on Jan. 9; • or take the week before Christmas off, with the last day of school on Dec. 16 – which would mean returning on Jan. 2.

“I think (the poll) is a good idea because the choices are extreme,” said Keith Penny, the school trustee for Orléans-Cumberland.

He said most parents have been surprised to be surveyed. But as three other boards in the city have to decide their own school calendars for the 2016-17 school year, whatever parents vote for will be just one piece of the puzzle for school board staff.

The two English boards – public and Catholic – share transportation.

If they each choose a different school break, it means the buses would only

be off the road for one week instead of the usual two.

“Both school boards are aware that the costs for transportation really are more efficiently calculated when they both have the same breaks,” said Vicky Kyriaco, general manager of the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority.

“I know at OSTA we we’ve had communication about it, and it’s a conversation that happens every year when we set the calendar.”

HIGHER COST

She said the extra cost of having different breaks would be passed on to the school boards.

Penny said if parents vote overwhelming in favour of one option, the board will try to set the calendar accordingly. But he thinks if the public board parents are overwhelmingly in favour of one option, it’s unlikely the Catholic board parents would strongly favour something different.

Ottawa Catholic board spokesperson Mardi de Kemp said the Catholic board also surveyed parents, just not through the same online survey method the public board used. The

board surveyed parents through the Catholic School Parent Association.

She said that feedback will be taken into consideration, but so will information from stakeholder groups and partners, like the teachers union, transportation authority, public board and child care organizations.

However, the French and English boards don’t speak as closely about the school break because the French public and Catholic boards have their own transportation authority, shared with a third school board in eastern Ontario.

“That’s basically why (the French boards’) calendars match, so we can co-ordinate busing,” said Céline Bourbonnais, the French Catholic board spokesperson. “We start a week sooner (than the English boards), we start before Labour Day every year.”

She said because the French board starts early, they have to submit a modified calendar to the Ministry of Education two months in advance of the English boards. Staff send over copies to the English boards in case they want to take them into consideration, but the French calendar is set earlier.

Trustees face off over school board communications policy Board chair seeks to censure member Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There’s a fight, but instead of in the schoolyard, it’s around the board table.

Ottawa-Carleton District School Board chair

Shirley Seward said she’s seeking legal counsel to figure out how to censure a fellow trustee for comments to the media.

Donna Blackburn, the trustee for Merivale-Knoxdale and Barrhaven, spoke

out against her colleague Shawn Menard, calling trustees who opposed a program hike “whack jobs” and swearing in an Ottawa Citizen article published Jan. 14.

Blackburn said she was frustrated over the debate around a rate hike for board-run programs of-

DONNA BLACKBURN trustees, but simply having a cohesive message on board-wide policy.

“Trustees have always been free and encouraged to discuss matters that pertain to their own zones,” Seward said, adding debate on board-wide issues should happen at committee meetings, not in the media.

She called Blackburn’s remarks unprofessional and expressed concern about students reading the paper and seeing the language.

“We are dealing with (programs for) kids as young as two-and-a-half, and we are just trying to do what’s best for the kids,” Seward said.

The board doesn’t have a code of conduct, something Seward said could change.

“That’s why I will be seeking legal counsel, to see what the appropriate course of action is,” Seward said.

Seward said the public is

able to attend committeeof-the-whole and board meetings to hear the debate – so there’s no need for trustees to publicly call out their colleagues.

But Blackburn calls that illogical, saying parents don’t have time to go to every meeting, and she will continue to voice her opinion when asked.

“The minutes are not verbatim,” Blackburn said.

“And people want to be informed.”

Blackburn sits on the board conduct committee responsible for developing a code of conduct if a motion is passed at the board level to require one.

Blackburn has a reputation for sticking to her guns – one that was solidified after Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod called for her resignation in April 2012 after she voted in favour of funding a remodelling of Broadview Public School.

Blackburn didn’t bend to pressure to change her vote, and she won’t bend now, she said. She said it’s her responsibility as an elected official to voice her opinion when she feels it’s warranted.

“I will not be told what to do,” Blackburn said.

But Seward said if Blackburn doesn’t like the communications policy as it is, she’s free to propose an amendment.

“If Donna’s unhappy with the policy, despite all kinds of media attention in the past, she can make a motion and we can have a policy discussion at a board meeting,” Seward said.

fered in schools before and after class hours.

The program is facing a $1.8–million deficit, and staff are proposing job cuts to save $10 million.

The new rate for the before- and after-school programs could represent a 32 per cent increase for some parents.

Blackburn said she is sympathetic about the potential impact, but she thinks parents want her to talk about the deficit and not about language in a newspaper article.

“The issue has become that I dropped an F-bomb, but not what drove me to it,” Blackburn said, adding the vote over the rate hikes included an amendment to exempt parents who receive subsidy from paying a $50 registration fee.

Blackburn said without increases to the childcare rates, there will have to be cuts to other board services – like social workers or educational assistants.

“Trustees were asked to vote on something we didn’t have any information for,” she said, adding staff didn’t have the figures available at the meeting to show the impact of the proposed fee exemption.

Seward wants to keep the debate at the board, citing a board communications policy. The policy reads that the chair or designate is the spokesperson for the board and is responsible for external communications regarding matters under consideration by the board, as well as explaining decisions and positions.

Seward said it’s not about silencing the other

5517 Hazeldean Rd, Unit 1 K2S 0P5

Parents petitioning for gifted student program in the west end Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The years-old call for a public school international baccalaureate program in the city’s west end has gathered steam after a father saw his niece and nephew struggle with the commute.

“I have young kids. My eldest is in Grade 7 and so I’ve started thinking about what I want them to do for high school,” said Jonathan Patrick who lives near Woodroffe Avenue and Baseline Road in Nepean.

“There are a couple of enriched programs (in the public school board), but the only IB program available is at Colonel By (Secondary School, located between Vanier and Orleans),” he said.

The international baccalaureate program, known as the IB program, is a world-renowned educational method that requires high levels of study and is “designed for strong academic students,” says the public school board on its website.

Participation in the program can

result in advanced placement of students in post-secondary institutions.

“I’ve watched my nephew and niece do it,” said Patrick. The commute, more than an hour by public transit, and requiring several buses early in the morning, was onerous, he said.

“My nephew stuck it out and he is now in first year university,” he said.

“My niece dropped out of the IB program largely because of the commute. It was just killing her.”

So Patrick reached out to public school trustee for Barrhaven/Knoxdale-Merivale, Donna Blackburn, to see if there was any interest in opening another IB program west of Bronson Avenue.

“It’s something that should happen,” said Blackburn.

“It’s not fair that people in Kanata and Barrhaven have to go all that way to participate in the program.

And it just makes sense that we have one in each end of the city.”

Encouraged to push for such a program, Patrick connected with parent council members like Lorrie

Vidalin at Merivale High School, and they engaging parents.

“I think it’s needed and I think the board should do it,” said Vidalin, school council chair at Merivale.

Together they found that the board has been performing a secondary school review since 2011 with a goal of ensuring students have equal access to secondary school programs. One of six programs reviewers have been investigating is the IB program.

Vidalin is expecting the report on the program to be presented to the board in March, though the board did not confirm a date.

Patrick and Vidalin hope to make their case for a west end IB program at the same meeting. But, until then they and others have been looking for more parent support for a new IB program with a petition, “just to try and show the trustees when we do present that there is a lot of parental and family interest and desire to see what we are propositioning,” said Vidalin.

As of Jan. 18, the petition has

FILE

Parents in Ottawa’s west end are banding together with a petition, asking for the public school board to start an international baccalaureate program on the west side of the city.

346 supporters. “I’m hoping to find more,” said Patrick. “I have no doubt (that there are more).”

“If you ever attend the information sessions that Colonel By puts on for their IB program, it’s jampacked. They have, last I heard, 600 applications a year. They accept 160.

“Of their current population base, I think about over 300 of their current students live west of Bronson.

So there is a definite demand for this program,” said Patrick.

As for a specific location for a western IB program, Vidalin and Patrick said their push doesn’t include support for a particular school.

Start Packing... You’re Moving!

However, Blackburn said Merivale High School would be best suited.

The school’s principal, Barb Gage, has previous experience setting up IB programs, said Blackburn.

But she said it’s the accessibility of the school that makes it a good choice.

“I’m not a city planner, but how many buses do you think go by Merivale in a day?” she asked.

as enthusiastic as parents, though a small majority did support two of the changes, York-Slader said.

A slim majority did not support the introduction of half-day French in junior kindergarten.

He said it could be “scary” for teachers who don’t know what the program will mean for the their day-to-day job.

Reshuffling could mean teachers are declared surplus, and need to move to a different school.

“It would be fair to say teachers could be worried about the nature of their job,” he said. “Or it could be that it’s not a good idea.”

Trustees will have to make up their minds on Feb. 9, when they vote on whether or not to accept the changes.

At that time, they’ll have the results of the second round of public consultation surveys available to them.

A part of the equation for the trustees has to be the cost savings. The board stands to benefit to the tune of $2.4 million if the changes are made.

And in a year where costs have to be cut to make the budget work, the dollars could help save other programs.

of the day in French for their Junior Kindergarten children will be too confusing.

But there are also parents who strongly support French in schools, and are more concerned about any reduction in French instruction time.

Opinions often depend on where a child is in the school system, as a Junior Kindergarten parent may give different feedback than the parent of a Grade 5 student who is past the EFI age.

The school board did a first round of consultation in the fall, and received almost 4,000 survey responses; a response rate York-Slader said is practically unheard of.

Parents largely were in support of all three of the changes to the French program in the surveys received, but parents pointed out that not everyone got the right information or heard about the survey because of teacher labour disputes going on at the time.

So the board did a second round of surveys, and received 4,856 responses the second time around. The data from that survey wasn’t available for York-Slader to present at the Jan. 14 meeting.

Teachers polled weren’t

The Kindergarten change and math switches would happen this September, and the addition of the 60 minutes of English would be implemented in 2018. The original proposal, which recommended everything start in 2016, was amended.

There are mixed reviews from parents for a variety of reasons. Parent council chairs and co-chairs had a chance to ask questions on behalf of their schools at a meeting at Gloucester High School on Jan. 14.

“I’ve received a lot of opinions – some are happy, some are not,” said Sandra Schwartz, the trustee for Innes and Beacon Hill-Cyrville.

The Kindergarten change is meant to improve the baseline knowledge of French, especially in demographic groups which are less likely to continue in French immersion.

“Historically, French immersion has leaned more to higher socio-economic groups and under represented English as a second language and special needs students, “ said superintendent of instruction Neil York-Slader.

Schwartz said some parents are worried having half

Red Bull Crashed Ice coming to Ottawa in 2017 Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Skaters from across the world will hurl themselves down an icy hill full of jumps to compete for title of world’s best ice cross downhiller next winter in Ottawa.

The Red Bull Crashed Ice world championship event will be hosted in March 2017 beside the Chateau Laurier and Major’s Hill Park at the Ottawa Locks, part of the Rideau Canal and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Red Bull Crashed Ice events have been held in Quebec city in the past, and feature a downhill course about 400 metres long, with jumps.

Red Bull Crashed Ice sports director Christian Papillon called the sport a combination of power skating and ski cross. A former competitor himself, he said skaters can travel up to 82 kilometres an hour while skat-

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Mock bottles of champagne filled with confetti are popped at the Chateau Laurier on Jan. 21 following the announcement of the Red Bull Crashed Ice event.

“People growing up here are built for the sport, and Ottawa provides a great urban backdrop.”

The event has made a point to host their events in urban areas with interesting backdrops, such as in Niagara Falls and Quebec City and internationally in cities such

Racers compete four at a time, with the first two to cross the finish line advancing to the next round. There are both men and women’s divisions.

The course is built with spectator stands all around, lighting for evening events, and often features music and DJs. “It will have a modern, edgy and appealing image for

The event was recruited by the city for 2017 as part of the country’s 150th birthday

celebrations.

“We expect this event will be hugely popular,” Mayor Jim Watson said. “We’re going to see the downtown packed like never before.”

Watson has been in talks with both the CFL and NFL and hopes to have an outdoor winter hockey game and Grey Cup game in Ottawa as well.

He said the goal is to have events spread out throughout the year to bring visitors to Ottawa all through the year.

Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde said the conservative estimate of the economic impact of the Red Bull Crashed Ice event is $10 million. She said the event will also benefit Ottawa as it’s planned to be globally televised.

The final dates haven’t been announced yet, and will be confirmed once Red Bull announces the 2016-17 tour schedule for the event.

Battle of Ontario tickets up for grabs through guide dogs raffle Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Two Ontario residents will live it up on March 12 at the Canadian Tire Centre with 100-level seat tickets to witness the Battle of Ontario play out in an NHL game between the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The game tickets, along with valet parking, are the prizes at stake in a raffle that only has 179 raffle tickets available by the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind to support its training programs.

“Last year we sold out, and we expect to sell out again this year,” said Steven Doucette, events and guider co-ordinator for the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Raffle tickets are available for $10 to residents of Ontario over 18 years old, and 100 per cent of

the ticket proceeds will be used to help cover the cost of the charitable organization’s veterinary expenses.

“It’s one of our organization’s largest expenditures, so we donate the proceeds of the raffle specifically to go to that,” Doucette said. The organization provides professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired.

Its national training centre is located in Manotick, and Doucette said that at any given time, between 80 and 120 dogs are being trained on and off-site.

Doucette said the popularity of games between the Senators and Leafs should help drive raffle ticket sales. That’s why William McDonald, who donated the tickets, chose that particular game. McDonald operates the Co-

operators insurance agency in Manotick, and has supported Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind since he joined the company 20 years ago.

“He’s been a long-time supporter, often supporting our annual golf tournament,” Doucette said of McDonald.

“And this is the second year that he’s donated tickets to a Senators and Leafs game, which is one of the hardest games that has a higher ticket demand.”

McDonald said that he helps the organization for a number of reasons. Living and working in Manotick has allowed him opportunities to

see the guide dogs and their trainers at work. There are personal factors, too.

“They’re just a great organization and I’ve known the people there for quite a while,” he said, adding that people close to him have used their services before.

“I’ve seen the workings and I just think it’s a great cause.

And they’re good people. Plus it’s nice to support a local charity. It’s close to the heart,” McDonald said.

Raffle tickets are available, and can be bought by calling 613-692-7777 or online at www.guidedogs.ca. The raffle draw will be held on March 4.

MEGAN DELAIRE/METROLAND

William McDonald has supported Canadian Guide Dogs for the blind for 20 years. Since last year, some of that support has been in the form of donated NHL tickets raffled off in support of the organization.

The puck drop for the Jon Brunette Memorial Initiation Fun Day will take place at 12:50 p.m. Saturday.

In August 2007, the minor hockey community lost a long-time friend in Malcolm Brunette, Jon’s father.

A great supporter of minor hockey in West Carleton and Arnprior, he exemplified the ‘perfect hockey parent’ with his concern about the welfare of the young hockey players.

Two players, Lucas and Jake Ross, who are sponsored by the memorial fund will drop the puck during

The memories of a West Carleton hockey player and his father continue to live on in a tournament at the Carp arena this Saturday, Jan. 30.

The Jon Brunette Memorial Initiation Fun Day, hosted by the West Carleton Minor Hockey Association, will see players from West Carleton, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Stittsville participate.

The memorial fund helps sponsor local hockey players.

It was created to honour the memory of Jon Brunette, a former West Carleton Minor Hockey player, Ottawa Titan and Arnprior Junior Packer who was killed in a snowmobile crash in 2003.

Jon Brunette was known as a hard-working, skilled, dedicated team player.

“If you were to mould a perfect hockey player, Jon would be a great example.

He was tough, intense, hardworking, dedicated, could score goals, and was a team player. But most of all he had a heart the size of this room,” said the player’s former Packers captain.

Dedicated neonatal transport unit rolls out in Ottawa Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa’s first dedicated neonatal transport unit is rolling out with the goal of reducing travel delays and improving outcomes for CHEO’s tiniest and youngest patients, as well as ensuring the health and safety of medical teams.

“It will make a huge difference for some of the frailest and most vulnerable patients in our health-care system,” CHEO president and chief executive Alex Munter said at an announcement in December at Ottawa Paramedic Service headquarters off Walkley Road.

CHEO’s neonatal transport team now has access to a dedicated Ottawa ambulance for the emergency transport of newborns back to the children’s hospital as part of a year-long pilot project that begins in January.

Up to now, an ambulance crew picked up the team and

its specialized equipment at the regional hospital and raced off to a call in CHEO’s expansive coverage area.

The ambulance and crew would return to Ottawa to tend to other calls while the neonatal specialists stabilized their patient. But that required a different ambulance from the local area be called in to take the team and patient back to CHEO, often causing the team to be stranded for hours.

“Therein lies the problem and therein lies the delay as well,” said Dr. Stephanie Redpath, medical director of CHEO’s neonatal transport

team. “It takes away that service from that region.”

The team responds to an average of 440 of these types of calls every year.

But thanks to the new partnership, as well as a $30,000 donation made to the CHEO Foundation from Scottie’s Angels Fund to pay for the first year of the pilot, which will cost CHEO $36,000, Ottawa paramedics can now remain at the call.

As part of the new initiative, the dedicated ambulance has been outfitted with a Stryker-brand powered stretcher, which can easily lift and load specialized and heavy neonatal equipment in and out of the ambulance with the touch of a button.

Previously, it took a team of four to lift a regular stretcher bearing that much weight, which impacted mobilization times, Redpath said.

“It’s a health-and-safety advancement for us because we’re no longer lifting a 400-pound incubator,” said Peter Kelly, acting chief of the Ottawa Paramedic Ser-

this 300- to 400-pound device in and out the back of an ambulance.”

Seeing the funds go to such a good cause means a lot to Smiths Falls resident Jodi Empey, whose first child, Scottie, passed away at CHEO in 1999 from complications. He was just sevenmonths old.

Empey was in London, Ont., when she went into premature labour.

She was flown to the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital via air ambulance. Scottie was transported from the Civic to CHEO via neonatal transport.

When she was approached by the CHEO Foundation with the idea of providing financial support to the new unit, she jumped at the chance to help other families in need.

Through Scottie’s Angels Fund Empey contributed to the unit in the memory of her late son.

“It was a benefit to us and our family having him transported quickly and safely,” she said. “Hopefully, that will benefit other families as well.”

It’s Empey’s hope the pilot project will become permanent and even be expanded with more dedicated ambulance units in the future.

“I hope the government picks it up after this year … and that they continue with the dedicated ambulance,” Empey said.

vice.

But thanks to the new partnership and funds donated to the CHEO Foundation from Scottie’s Angels Fund, the Ottawa paramedics can remain at the call with the dedicated ambulance.

“We said if we convert this ambulance over (with the new stretcher) then we’ll be able to go A to B and do those calls together,” Kelly said. “And that’s best for the baby – a timely response back to the surgeons at CHEO.” The reality is that outcomes for babies coming in from beyond urban centres is “inferior,” which is the reason their prompt transport back to CHEO is so important.

“Our babies on occasion weigh less than a bag of sugar and they are smaller than the size of my hand,” said Redpath.

The new dedicated unit will make “a life-saving difference,” she said.

Providing coverage in a geographic area equivalent to the size of the United Kingdom “is quite a feat,” which is why the co-ordinated effort between the hospital and paramedic service is essential, she noted.

“Dedicated units such as our NTU (neonatal transport unit) … have been shown to provide faster response times, permit customization of our equipment and also provide the use of hydraulic lifts needed to lift

Weather events to be topic at Archives AGM Ottawa Valley weather events over the years will be the topic when the Arnprior and McNabBraeside Archives Board holds its annual general meeting in Arnprior Saturday, Feb. 6.

The board “cordially invites” everyone to the AGM at 1 p.m. in the Arnprior Public Library.

Admission is free.

This year’s guest speaker is historian and meteorologist Dr. John D. Reid. His topic will be ‘Blowin’ in the Wind: Ottawa Valley Weather,

Events and People’.

Local newspaper headlines like “Heat Inspired Skinny Dippers” and “Valley Towns Snowed Under: Power Fails” reflect the extremes of weather experienced and their impacts. Official weather records, newspaper reports and archival records bear testimony to flood and drought, heat wave and cold snap, tornado and ice storm - remember January 1998?

Our ancestors, aware of Canada’s reputation

for cold and the description as “quelques arpents de neige” before they arrived, were often shocked by the reality of extremes unknown in their homeland.

The presentation by Reid, an Ottawa meteorologist and genealogist, explores the reality of the local climate through the year, what scientists know about its variation along the Valley, some of the

memorable weather events and their impacts, and touch on some well-known and a notorious local weather personalities.

And what does climate change have in store for the Valley?

Originally from England, Reid arrived in Ottawa in 1966 and pursued a more than 30-year career as weather forecaster, re-

the City of Ottawa Arts, Heritage and Culture Advisory Committee.

He blogs at Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections, which has more than 7,000 posts, and speaks at genealogical events in Canada and overseas.

The Feb. 6 meeting will be followed by refreshments, an open house and displays.

Any questions? Please contact Diane Bresson at 613-623-5647 or e-mail diane.bresson@sympatico.ca.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

Chorus, Legion to hold Valentine event The Goulbourn Male Chorus and Stittsville Branch of the Legion are hosting a Valentine’s event at the Legion Hall Feb. 13 as a fundraiser for the chorus and its work in the community.

A weekly guide in legal matters

well as several ‘sing-outs’ around the community.

The chorus rehearses every Tuesday at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road at 7 p.m.

“Why not treat your sweetheart to an evening of socializing, dinner, song and dancing,” invites the chorus. Tickets are available from chorus members, from the Legion or by calling Harry at 613-435-7441.

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

Question: I recently changed roles at work. My new title is “Accounts Manager” and I am responsible for all the company’s accounts payable and receivable. I also help other staff price our products and develop new accounts. I am very happy about my new role but my job used to be “9 to 5” and now I have to work late and on weekends. I asked my boss about overtime but was informed that managers and supervisors do not receive overtime pay. Is this true?

For most employees in Ontario overtime hours start after 44 hours of work in a week. For every hour worked in excess of 44 hours an employee is supposed to receive time and a half.

Under the Employment Standards Act there are exceptions to the general rule including that managers and supervisors do not receive any overtime compensation. For this “manager exception” to apply an employee generally needs to be performing work that involves the supervision of other employees in a leadership role as opposed working in general administrative duties. Also, the exempt employee must be working in the manager role the majority of the time

Although many job titles, such Accounts Manager, include the word “manager” this does not necessarily mean you don’t get overtime pay.

Day hospice offers respite, camaraderie ‘There’s a common sense of facing similar issues, facing similar challenges’ Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

What occurs once in June, twice in August, but never in October?

The question greeted those who participated in Wednesday’s day program at Hospice Care Ottawa’s Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on Jan. 20.

The brainteaser was one of several questions posed to those in attendance, part of what co-ordinator and registered nurse Keitha Mitchell calls ‘Mensa Densa,’ a fun way to engage the clients and volunteers.

It’s not so much about getting the correct solution, but about engaging the brain and having fun trying to figure out the answer.

The day hospice program is a weekly gathering that supports those living with a life-limiting illness.

There are activities – like cards, arts and board games – for those who want to partake, but many just enjoy the opportunity to talk with others.

“To have conversation with other people who have gone through the

struggle you’re going through and understand a bit of what your circumstances are, that’s why I like coming here,” said Andrew Harvey.

“It’s good to be able to come here once a week and socialize with everyone. Everyone in here is fantastic; the volunteers are really good. It’s really a nice place to come for part of the day.”

Harvey has been attending the day program for about six weeks. A former high school English teacher, Harvey was diagnosed with cancer and had to retire from his vocation.

“When you have cancer, one of the things you have is an issue with filling the day up,” he said.

He learned of the program through Mitchell, who repeatedly called him until he agreed to check out the service.

“Don’t discount something like this as, ‘That’s not for me’ until you try it,” Harvey said. “I never thought I would come here. Hospice, I would think, is not for me. But only because Keitha kept calling me that I’m here right now today, and I’m glad to be here.”

Clients, volunteers and staff gather around the table for a nutritious lunch during Wednesday’s day program at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice.

DAY HOSPICE

Hospice Care Ottawa served 188 clients through its day hospice program in 2014-15, and more than 1,450 in total.

Government funds makes up about half of Hospice Care Ottawa’s funding, while the rest, about $1.87

million, must be fundraised annually through events and donations to help keep its services in operation.

The Wednesday day program at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice currently has six participants, with room for up to 15 clients.

The Tuesday session is full, while about 11 people participate in the

Thursday day program in Richmond.

The May Court Hospice in east Ottawa also has day programs Tuesday to Thursday, while a francophone day program will be offered at La Maison de l’Est in Orléans.

Hospice Care Ottawa offers more than just the day programs; it also has residential services, in-home support, family and caregiver programs, as well as grief and bereavement programs.

Houle’s wife takes part in the yoga program offered for caregivers. The programs give both of them a chance to meet with other people in

similar circumstances.

Houle said he would definitely be back for the next day session.

The programs provide clients with support from their peers, a registered nurse and trained volunteers; conversation; social activities; snacks and lunch; the opportunity to learn new things; and rest and relaxation.

Day hospice is all about “the ability to be cared for in the community in a setting that’s comfortable and supportive,” said Mitchell.

“It’s an amazing peer support program. I think just the general sense of being in a comfortable environment where things can be shared that they may not share at home. They share here because there’s a common sense of facing similar issues, facing similar challenges.”

Barry Houle has an autoimmune disease that requires a double-lung transplant. He wasn’t aware of the service until he became sick and the hospice contacted him through the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC).

Dog’s passing prompts complaint about animal hospital

later, with tears in his eyes. “At midnight he was put down.”

Braun recalls how smart Echo was.

“He could get a carton of milk from the fridge,” he said.

He said a purebred German Shepherd like Echo has a life expectancy of 12 to 14 years. He purchased him from a breeder he knew well, near his childhood home of Niagara-onthe-Lake, Ont., who imports dogs from Europe.

“I took him to the vet every five or six months, he had all his shots,” Braun said. “My friends called him a marshmallow. He was super laid back.”

Tears still come easily to Leonard Braun, even in a crowded coffee shop.

A large man – at six-foot-eight – he has to pause every now and then as he remembers what he calls the hardest decision of his life: to have his seven-year-old dog, Echo, put down in December.

What hurts much more is that Braun believes Echo would still be alive if an animal hospital had not ejected him and his German Shepherd.

Because Ontario’s Veterinary Act requires vets to complete treatment of an animal in their care, Braun plans to file a complaint with the College of Veterinarians of Ontario about his visit to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital on Dec. 10.

None of the allegations regarding the animal hospital’s actions have been proven in a court of law.

imal clinics around the city seeking help, but says he was told the same thing over and over again; “They all said Alta Vista (Animal Hospital) is the only place in Ottawa (that can do the surgery).”

Braun left the Alta Vista Animal Hospital at 10:30 p.m., returning to the first hospital he had visited earlier in the day.

“There I had to face the hardest decision of my life,” Braun said.

Further MRI and surgical options could be available in Montreal or Toronto Braun said, but the cost was estimated at $8,000 to $10,000.

Echo would also face a drive that would clearly be painful.

“I had no idea what to do. I’m still beside myself,” Braun said a month .COM

in immediately.

Braun took Echo to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital, arriving around 5:30 p.m. with his pet and a friend.

At 7 p.m., Braun was told there were three dogs ahead of Echo awaiting treatment. He says he and the friend waiting with him asked again at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., but they received no information.

A little later, Braun says the office manager asked him to step out of the waiting area. Braun says she pointed her finger at him.

“She said, ‘We’re denying you service, get out,’” Braun says.

Braun says Echo was rolled out of the animal hospital on a gurney by two vet technicians.

“He was muzzled; my friends can tell you this. One tech grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and the other grabs him where he’s hurting, and they just threw him in the back of the car.”

Brian Element, a friend of Braun’s, was there when Echo was rolled out. It was Element’s car that the animal hospital staff put Echo into.

“They picked him up and shoved him in,” he said. “He screamed in pain. I’ll never forget that sound.”

Element said he asked to talk to the office manager.

“She didn’t give us any reason, just that they were refusing service,” he said, adding he even offered to stay at the animal hospital and have Braun leave.

His suggestion was also refused without any explanation, Element said.

In a panic, Braun called other an-

made before in his life,” Braun said.

“He couldn’t walk up stairs from the basement. I tried to touch him, but he wouldn’t let me.”

He called some friends who arrived with a station wagon and Echo was taken to an animal hospital in the city’s west end.

“They said to take him to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital,” Braun said, adding that the Alta Vista site has the only MRI machine for pets in the city. “That’s when the nightmare began.”

Echo was examined at the Alta Vista Animal Hospital.

Notes that Braun later requested showed that a Dr. DeAbreu examined Echo and found he had “pain on palpitation of lumbar spine.”

The notes also say two things were administered by injection: Hydro (probably hydrocodone, a painkiller) and Metacam, a non-steroidal antiinflammatory usually prescribed for dogs with joint pain.

Braun and Echo returned to their Kanata home, but later the same day Echo was feeling worse.

“He could barely move his head,” Braun said.

After visiting a west-end animal hospital, Braun was told Echo had a problem with a disc in his spine, and to seek an MRI and treatment at the Alta Vista Animal Hospital.

Braun called the Alta Vista office and says a neurotechnician told him a vet there who is known as a specialist in canine spinal surgery was “ready to go” and even if he was not at work, the doctor would be called

Red bricks had many interesting stories to tell

Italian food, Scottish movie a great mix

Father said he had no recollection of how the red bricks came to us on the farm in Northcote. They were always there.

And yes, they served just about the same purpose as they did since he was a little boy. He said they could probably have come from a building that was being built many years ago, such as the big red brick house beside Briscoe’s General Store, where the family lived for generations.

“If there were bricks laying around, and not being used, you could have them, I guess,” he said. And no, he doubted any money changed hands.

I accepted that explanation of how red bricks got to us when there wasn’t a building on our entire farm that wasn’t made of logs or boards.

But they were certainly put to good use by our family.

They were mostly used in the wintertime. Always a couple sat on the reservoir at the back of the stove, as Mother said “just in case.” The “just in case” meant we needed a quick warm-up for freezing feet on a bitterly cold day after being outside playing in the snow, or after our three and a half mile walk home from the Northcote School.

And if there wasn’t something cooking in the oven of the Findlay Oval, it wasn’t unusual to see a couple bricks heating up inside.

If we were still wearing our stockings, there was no

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

need to wrap the bricks in a heavy towel. We just put our stockinged feet right on the hot bricks and got immediate warmth.

Of course, we never went anywhere in the cutter or on the sleigh without hot bricks wrapped many times in the Renfrew Mercury and placed under our galoshes-covered feet.

Hot bricks warmed our beds at night. How I loved to crawl between the feather ticking that covered us, and the feathered mattress, and know that the bricks had warmed the bed first!

There was one brick that never touched the floor. This one was scrubbed clean and sat on the bake table and was wrapped in cheesecloth. It was used to hold down anything we ate that needed to be “pressed” as Mother called it.

And you better not touch it without washing your hands first, either.

And then there were the bricks that served as doorstops. The ones in the shed and the back summer kitchen were minus their corners from being kicked into place over decades.

But the two bricks that caught my fancy the most

were the one that sat at the back door in the kitchen, and the one at the door in the parlour. Both of them were door stops, but because they were the first thing a visitor saw when coming into our house, you would never, at first glance, know they were bricks.

Long before Mother went to the farm in Northcote, someone had crocheted covers for these two bricks. They were made of bright red and green wool, no doubt left over from knitting socks or mitts.

As Mother said, the crocheted brick covers gave a bit of status (a word I had never heard of before) to two very ordinary necessities: door stops.

Like so many other ordinary things put to good use on the farm, bricks coming to us from goodness knows where, served a purpose.

And when they were put at my feet, I wondered how many toes had touched them before me, and I would look at the covered brick at the back door, and marvel at the number of visitors who had passed beside it, and how often a foot had moved it out of the way to hold open a door on a farm that generations before me had called home.

Animal hospital director says Braun was ‘belligerent’ Braun has paralegal training and knew evidence of the Alta Vista Animal Hospital’s conduct would have to be preserved if he decided to take legal action or seek professional sanctions from the College of Veterinarians of Ontario for the way Echo was treated.

On Dec. 11, the morning following Echo’s death, Braun delivered a legal letter to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital requesting a number of records that would have been created during Echo’s treatment, including videotapes from security cameras that might show how Echo was treated during his stay and during his removal from the Alta Vista hospital by two technicians. So far, he has only received some medical notes about Echo’s visits.

The demand that the hospital preserve all evidence prompted a quick response.

“Seven hours later two lawyers were at my door with a letter that says, ‘If you come back to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital you will be charged with criminal trespass,’ Braun

said. He shared a copy of the letter from the Alta Vista Animal Hospital’s lawyer, Vicky Satta, of the Ottawa law firm Emond Harnden.

The letter accuses Braun of being “derogatory, demeaning and insulting” to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital’s staff.

The letter states animal hospital staff “assessed your pet and provided appropriate medical care,” and says a manager asked Braun not to return to the animal hospital “for service in future,” but makes no mention of his being asked to leave while Echo still required treatment.

The letter ends by informing Braun that if he returns to the animal hospital, he will be “prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

Braun said he later asked the friends who were waiting with him if he acted inappropriately. “They said I was just crying,” he said.

HOSPITAL RESPONDS

The hospital director at Alta Vista Animal Hospital, Steve Sidoli, said Braun was “belligerent” during the Dec.

10 evening visit.

Sidoli said Echo was “treated and stabilized,” and that when Braun was asked to leave, staff offered to make an appointment for Echo with a neurologist elsewhere.

“The relationship (between the hospital and Braun) is frustrated,” Sidoli said.

A key question the College of Veterinarians of Ontario must consider based on a complaint is if the Alta Vista Animal Hospital released Echo before he received the care he needed.

Asked if Echo needed surgery when he was released by the Alta Vista Animal Hospital, Sidoli said Echo “needed to see a neurologist, but it wasn’t urgent.”

“That’s not a medical opinion as I’m not a medical professional,” he said.

Alta Vista is the only Ottawa animal hospital that offers neurological services that Echo appeared to require.

Sidoli said Alta Vista Animal Hospital staff provided Braun with contact information for a clinic in Montreal that offers neurological care before Braun left the Alta Vista hos-

pital on Dec. 10.

“We treat 25,000 cases a year and this is not a common occurrence,” he said of Braun being asked to leave.

Braun understands the courts consider pets to be property and will only measure Echo’s value in dollars.

He bought Echo for $3,000 and while he would like the Alta Vista Animal Hospi-

narians of Ontario, discipline ranges from reprimands to fines to revocation of a vet’s licence if a member of the college has shown “disregard for the welfare” of an animal.

“He was the best faithful and loyal companion,” Braun said of Echo. “I miss him greatly; coming to me when I come home, putting his head on my lap.

“I feel like they should have fixed him and they wouldn’t.”

R0013661777-0128

Continued from page 35

tal to be responsible for that amount, he’s more interested in having other pet owners know how he was treated.

If the case does go to civil court – and Braun plans to file a case in court – Braun expects evidence from the Alta Vista Animal Hospital, including videos, could be presented, along with statements from the animal hospital’s staff.

38 West Carleton Review - Thursday, January 28, 2016

While tips to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crime Stoppers program were down four per cent last year compared to 2014, the quality of tips improved, allowing police to net more guns, drugs, stolen property and suspects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quality of the tips has dramatically improved and that helps investigators when they go to close a case or investigation,â&#x20AC;? said Richard McMullen, president of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers, one of 38 chapters in Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, the number of results, in terms of arrests and criminal cases being cleared, has dramatically increased.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, 3,900 calls came in, and tipsters are providing more details, such as a suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last known address and full name.

That has helped police recover more stolen property. Last year, investigators seized $81,123 worth, compared to just $2,625 in 2014, likely up because of the higher value of property recovered, McMullen said.

GUN TIPS Tips also led police to 15 guns in 2015, up from five in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gun violence is something that we take seriously, as do the police partners that we engage with, and 15 fewer firearms is significant,â&#x20AC;? McMullen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the police, the Crime Stoppers program contributes to shorter investigations and better evidence,â&#x20AC;? Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau

said during a ceremony at Ottawa police headquarters on Jan. 22 to recognize the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success last year and mark January as Crime Stoppers Month.

Tips to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crime Stoppers also led to 74 arrests in 2015, an increase from 36 the year before.

The quality of the tips resulted in the approval of $13,750 in reward money to tipsters last year, up from $6,740 in 2014; made possible by sponsors, fundraisers and private donations.

Criminal charges laid in Ottawa also rose as a result.

There were 291 charges laid in 2015, an increase from 150 in 2014.

Police also seized $179,389 in narcotics last year, up from $104,617 the year before, thanks to anonymous tips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has a direct impact on making our community safe,â&#x20AC;? said Bordeleau, who was joined at the ceremony

by McMullen, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau, West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry (chair of the Ottawa police services board), Ontario Association of Crime Stoppers president Dave Forster, and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, minister of community safety and correctional services.

The ministry provides the Ontario association with $225,000 annually to help fund the Ontario Crime Stoppersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 24-hour call centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think an increase in all of these reported metrics has something to do with our increased engagement with the community,â&#x20AC;? said Mc-

Mullen.

The 31-year-old organization, which was on the brink of bankruptcy in 2012-13, has doubled its efforts since then to boost its presence at community events, including in vulnerable Ottawa neighbourhoods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes it might be a Saturday group barbecue in Russell Heights or any number of communities,â&#x20AC;?

McMullen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a fair bit of work at the Jasmine Crescent community and participated in grassroots community events (where) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to get exposure and be out in the community.â&#x20AC;?

Media partners and social media have helped get the word out, linking the public with videos, images and descriptions of crimes and suspects.

Continued exposure is key to dispelling misconceptions that tipsters who report information to Crime Stoppers are expected to testify in court or their information is passed on to police, McMullen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not the police.

We are independent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the (callerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) information to begin with.â&#x20AC;?

Nor does Crime Stoppers subscribe to caller ID. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite frankly, we go out of our way to keep that information as confidential as we can,â&#x20AC;? McMullen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes it successful, is that trust.â&#x20AC;?

Anyone with information on crimes is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. To see a list of unsolved cases, go to crimestoppers.ca.

School is barely out before it’s time to start the kids at day camp.

All summer long, they will be able to do a variety of activities, go on group outings, and make lots of new friends. Here are a few tips to help your children enjoy this enriching experience, which they are sure to remember for the rest of their lives.

First of all, it’s possible that your children will feel a little nervous about going to camp, especially if it’s their first time. Reassure them by describing all the activities that will be organized throughout the summer, emphasizing the ones you know they’ll prefer.

Remind them that this is a perfect opportunity to experience wonderful adventures with other children of the same age.

On the first day of camp, start them off on the right foot by giving them a good breakfast. They can take their own lunches and snacks or they can buy food if a cafeteria is available.

Be careful of allergies — some camps, just like schools, ban peanuts.

Every evening before bedtime, invite your children to participate in the preparation of their backpacks.

Make sure they pack sun-

Prepare your children’s backpacks with them. Pack sunscreen, a hat, a sweater and a good pair of shoes. screen, a hat or baseball cap, and a good pair of shoes.

As most camps have swimming in their programs, ensure they also include a swimsuit, towel, and a change of clothing. Some pools require swim caps to be worn.

You might also be re-

quired to supply life vests or swim floats if your children need them.

Last but not least, go over basic safety rules with your children, and be sure to tell them to have a good time.

After all, day camp is the perfect place to create unforgettable memories.

For parents who feel that their children may suffer from an academic overdose, they should realize that a camp is considered to be specialized if they offer two hours of a specific subject every day. That means

there’s plenty of time during the rest of the day to have fun and run off some energy.

Because summer camps are increasingly popular these days, it is important to register early to get a place, no matter what interests your child may have.

Being in a stimulating environment and being surrounded by enthusiastic experts are the greatest motivators for children to spend time at summer camp.

That is why so many specialized camps are now available, and there’s certainly no shortage of choice for budding scientists.

When children are passionate about a subject it is very important to encourage them. Sciences take up only a very small part of school curriculums, so young science fans are ecstatic when they are given the chance during their summer vacations to deepen their knowledge, carry out experiments and see a whole new world of discovery opening up before their eyes.

Many specialized science camps now exist and offer a wide range of activities connected to this fascinating subject. Workshops, demonstrations, group activities and experiments are always on the menu.

These science camps often concentrate on very specific areas such as astronomy,

2016 CAMP & ACTIVITY GUIDE

Well-run summer camp helps develop healthy body, mind The following article was submitted by Agatha E. Sidlauskas, registered psychologist in Ontario and founder of Venta Preparatory School, and Marilyn Mansfield, the principal of the Venta Preparatory School.

As a clinical child psychologist and an educator, it has long been our belief that the traditional 10-month school year - September to June - makes no sense for today’s children.

The schedule was established when children were needed to help on the family farm and bring in the harvest during the summer months. By the mid-20th century, our society had become primarily urban and two months of school vacation meant just one thing: eight weeks of unscheduled ‘free time’.

For this reason summer camps emerged as a popular way to keep children entertained and busy during the school holidays.

However, the benefits of a well-run summer camp are much more far-reaching. If the program is well-planned and structured , the activities can be fun for the children but also build skills and foster positive social and emotional growth, learning, and adventure.

Being exposed to new experiences and encouraged by friendly and sympathetic adults to try new things helps the child build selfconfidence. True self-esteem comes from doing something new and difficult and succeeding.

Interacting with others in a well-run summer camp gives children a chance to learn respect for others, teamwork, kindness and honesty and they have fun while they learn.

Skills learned at camp are then transferred to the classroom during the regular academic year.

Attendance at a summer camp teaches children to work together more cooperatively, to

resolve conflicts more effectively, to assume greater responsibility, and to become more self-reliant and self-confident.

We are convinced that it is critical for children to be involved in structured activities during the summer months. A well-run camp program provides the child with learning experiences that are not possible in a traditional classroom.

Summer camp is one of the few places where children can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression, and true participation in a safe environment.

While at camp children learn about living, working and playing together and making positive contributions to their community.

They acquire first hand multi-sensory knowledge of the natural world.

Going to camp gives the child much more than a vacation. Living, playing and sharing adventures together help the child develop into a healthy, physically fit and productive adult.

At camp, children gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and learn social skills of positive interaction that stay with them for a lifetime and spill over into other parts of their lives.

The new skills they have mastered and the social and emotional growth they have experienced help them become more successful in school and in other activities.

In our technological society, which encourages passive forms of entertainment rather than active involvement, summer camp provides a unique opportunity for children to experience a different way to play.

Participation in outdoor activities builds healthy bodies but also healthy minds.

Thank you to Boyce’s Funeral Home for their professionalism and understanding during this difficult time and to all those who donated to the CHEO Foundation in memory of Chris. Thank you to Darwin Ziebarth and Barry Dean for organizing and to those who drove tractors, trucks, trailers to line Highway 29 in Pakenham and for following the funeral procession to the United Church in honor of Chris. Thank you to Lana Dean for the photo album with signatures of all said drivers. Thank you to Mike Ryan and Doug and Marty Russell for the beautiful music selections you had performed at the church. To Reverend Goodman, thank you for your spiritual guidance in helping to plan the funeral service and to Shirl Duncan and Margie Argue for taking care of the program for the church service and for organizing the food for the reception after the funeral service.

To Chris’ Aunt Janet and Uncle Tim for making the beautiful video of Chris’ life. We will cherish it forever. A special thank you to Jonathan Baron for crafting the beautiful urns. To Robert Baron, Neil Duncan, Michael Sevigny and Spencer Chu, thank you for greeting people at the church and handing out programs. Chris would have been so proud of his six “redneck” pallbearers and seven honorary pallbearers. We know that he could see you on that day in your tailor made suits and probably had a chuckle or two. You were all great friends to him and he loved you all. Thanks to Uncle Bill Duncan, Chelsea Noel and Jessica Ryan for their heartfelt eulogies. A special thanks to Chelsea Noel who showed Chris the true meaning of love. You made him so very happy! A very special thank you to our wonderful daughter Jennifer for being there for Chris on that fateful morning, for her beautiful flower arrangements and for maintaining the memorial flower beds at our home. Thank you to Chris for being a wonderful and very special son, grandson, nephew and cousin. You are and will always be very much missed and loved by all who knew you.

With much love,Jeff and Lucie Duncan CLR660662

CLASSIFIED IN MEMORIAM

COWELL, Roy –In loving memory of a dear Dad and Papa, 1923-2015 A heart of gold stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest, Part of me went with you, To me you are the best.

Our family chain is broken, And will never be the same.

What I feel most deeply is the hardest to say, I was right by your side your last few days, And stayed with Mom until we parted ways.

Remembering our last words together When we said farewell.

Love you forever Dad Sadly missed Your daughter Bonnie Son-in-law Roger Joe (Sam), Julie A million hugs and kisses

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

GRACEY, Elwin – In memory of our dear husband, father, grandpa and great grandpa who passed away one year ago today January 28, 2015.

We often sit and think about the year that has gone by.

And all the happiness and joy we shared until we said goodbye.

We think about you always, we reminisce about you too.

We have so many wonderful memories but all we really want is you.

We think of all the laughter, the smiles and all the fun, And before we even know it, the tears have begun.

For although it brings us comfort to walk down memory lane, It reminds us how, without you, life has never been the same.

Forever loved, sadly missed and always remembered by Shirley, Sheila, Arnold, Korey, Laura and great grandson Griffin

Frost Festival to honour Charles Gillan Friday Pakenham and District Civitan Club

This Friday evening in Pakenham (Jan. 29) Charles A.W. Gillan, former Pakenham reeve and community builder will be honoured as part of the annual Pakenham Frost Festival.

Appreciation ceremonies will take place at 7:15 p.m., with O Canada to be sung by the Cedar Hill Zion United Church Children’s Choir. A Tier 2 Junior A hockey game follows immediately afterwards, featuring the Arnprior Packers against the Ottawa West Golden Knights.

Gillan has a long history of entrepreneurship and community involvement.

Charlie, as he is known, served as a private in the Canadian Infantry in the Second World War and sailed the north Atlantic as a U.S. maritime marine.

He was a commercial photographer, a woodworker of repute, a real-estate agent in Edmonton, operated the Gillan Fur Farm for 30 some years, and was owner and operator of Pakenham Yamaha, a motorcycle and snowmobile sales and service outlet. For his leisure activities, Gillan hunted, trapped, fished, played golf and was an active curler.

In public life, he was honoured to serve Pakenham Township for 19 years as councillor and/or reeve and Lanark County as warden.

As a long-time curler, Gillan was the vice-president of the Pakenham Curling Club when it purchased an artificial ice plant. His plan had the male members finance 30 per cent of the capital cost plus the installation while the ladies paid off the balance by generating funds through bake sales, rummage sales, etc.

When a closure of the Pakenham Public School was threatened by the provincial government, he and others fought back with

their own plan to build and staff their own school. This was done and eventually the province bought the school from the local group.

The community is hoping the province has learned their lesson about messing with the Pakenham Public School these many decades later.

When Lanark County decided to build a new home for the aged in the north part of the county, it was an opportunity for the area. As chairman of the Almonte General Hospital board, Gillan invited the county homes committee to view a plot of land adjacent to and owned by the hospital.

The board offered to provide the land as a building site for the new home. This was accepted and Fairview Manor was built and thrives to this day in its second home now attached to the hospital.

His support for the Almonte General Hospital meant several interventions at the provincial level continuously securing funding until more security was finally achieved for the hospital.

As Pakenham sits between Almonte and Arnprior, use of the two hospitals is divided. That is likely how he ended up serving on the board of the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital as well.

Gillan’s contributions towards building the Sandpoint Golf Club, Pakenham Curling Club, Pakenham School, Fairview Manor and Almonte General Hospital has provided the community with rich resources that make it a wonderful place to live and raise families.

His greatest joy is his marriage to the former Beth Blair and being blessed with their children Jennifer Plager, Jacqueline Gillan-­ Campbell, Jane McPhail and Jeffrey Gillan.

The community is invited to join the Gillan family in celebrating his “enormous donation of time and energy”

to Pakenham and surrounding areas at the celebration this Friday night. The upper hall of the Stewart Community Centre will be open for people to gather before and after the ceremony.

After several events last weekend, the Pakenham Frost Festival has scheduled the following events for this weekend.

Saturday, Jan. 30 • Tobogganing party at noon at the Pakenham Highlands Golf Course organized by the Cedar Hill Zion United Church (bring your sled and enjoy hot chocolate).

• Fishing derby all day on nearby frozen ponds (organizers hope). Registration is in advance at 5 Span Feed & Seed. Weigh-in is at 3 p.m. sharp.

• Saturday Pub Night: The Ryans will kick off the entertainment at 8 p.m. Authentically Elvis is in the house at 9:15 p.m. and the infamous bake auction with John O’Neill takes place before the dancing breaks out.

Advance tickets are available at Nicholson’s Store. The Pakenham shuttle service will once more be available for local Pakenham destinations from midnight to 1 a.m. Book ahead at 613-6245260.

Sunday, Jan. 31 • Community winter party and lunch at Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush organized by the Cedar Hill Zion United Church. The church has opened up their event for the whole community with a church service at 10 a.m. and a lunch of pancakes, sausages, and beans will be available from 11:30 to 3 p.m. Please call Fulton’s Pancake House at 613-2563867 for more information.

The Pakenham and District Civitan Club welcomes everyone to take part in the Frost Festival events. The club acknowledges support from the Town of Mississippi Mills and all local businesses and merchants.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

West Carleton Review - Thursday, January 28, 2016 49

A heart felt thank you to all of our customers and friends who voted for us.

From Mike Mulder and staff at Arnprior Chrysler Ltd.

Diamond Award: Auto Body & Repairs

Gold Award: Car Dealership New & Used Sales

Honest, reliable service earns Gold at Arnprior Chrysler Arnprior Chrysler has the vehicles, staff and service to make buying your next new or used car, truck, jeep, SUV or van a breeze.

For owner-general manager Mike Mulder, honesty is the only way. He and his staff go the extra mile to ensure all promises are kept, from the sales team to factory incentives and service.

“Arnprior Chrysler is leaning on a legacy of trust where cars and promises are delivered. We totally stand behind what we say and what we sell,” says Mike with pride.

The Arnprior Chrysler sales team does not work on commission. That means there is no ‘hard sell’. Instead, you get laid-back, personal and trusted service. The kind you can trust and rely on.

“The sales staff will take all the time needed to ease you into your purchase. They will be happy to answer any questions and will help you to find the vehicle that fits your needs completely. Ultimately, they are looking out for our customers who always come first.

“Our entire sales staff is qualified to assist you through the complete sales process. There is no need for them to check with the manager to complete a sale.”

That commitment to quality sales and aftermarket service has garnered Arnprior Chrysler a Gold Readers’ Choice award in the Car Dealership category as well as a Diamond award for Auto Body and Repair for the second year in a row.

“People prefer dealing with our non-

ARNPRIOR

commissioned sales team and they appreciate our fee loaner policy in the service department too. Those both help us to be number one with our customers. We appreciate their support. It’s an honour to serve them and to win the awards.”

Mike and his team takes their role in the community to heart, and have since 1976.

Family owned, Arnprior Chrysler is not part of a large, impersonal dealer group. Instead, their focus is the community they live in and work in.

“We take pride in following up on what we promise, every time. We do that because we have to live with ourselves and we are part of the community. I wouldn’t be in the business if I couldn’t be honest with my customers,” admits Mike.

That high level of integrity and community commitment keeps Arnprior Chrysler at the top of its industry and at the forefront of community service. They are well-known for supporting a wide range of community activities, from sports teams to the Arnprior and District NeighbourLink Fountain (NLF).

When you bring your car in for service or repair, you can expect the same high level of personal attention and quality.

“We have the only Chrysler collision center in the entire Ottawa Valley. Our parts and collision departments are well stocked and provide the highest level of service to almost any vehicle at competitive prices. Experience our award winning service center with thoroughly trained

Five Star technicians.”

Should you need financing for your purchase, Arnprior Chrysler can help with a wide range of on-the-spot financing options and extended service packages to keep you on the road.

And when it comes to the best vehicles on the road, people appreciate the Arnprior Chrysler lineup for its diversity, reliability and value.

The Dodge RAM has been truck of the year consistently since its inception and is literally, the best in class on the market anywhere.

For those looking for versatility and smooth ride, check out the all-new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Go topless in the summer and breeze through deep snow with 4x4 drive.

“There is something for every driving style in our 2016 selection. Drop in and we’ll be happy to show you around. Get to know us and you’ll find we’re an honest, upfront, great group of guys.”

To learn more about the full range of reliable, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles available from Arnprior Chrysler at 205 Madawaska Blvd, check them out online at www.arnpriorchrysler. com or phone 613-623-4256.

Better yet, drop in to speak with the staff.

Arnprior Chrysler is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday to Thursday, to 5 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m.

Saturday. You will be warmly greeted and you will probably leave with a smile.
