Health priorities for rural seniors, caregivers in the spotlight West Carleton one of eight communities selected for province-wide initiative Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Health priorities for rural seniors and caregivers will get a spotlight shined on them this year after West Carleton was selected as one of eight project sites for the Measuring Rural Community Vitality Initiative.

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre is partnering with the Rural Ontario Institute to offer public consultations on the theme of Engagement on Health Priorities for Seniors and Caregivers in West Carleton, where residents will have the opportunity to discuss health issues related to aging in a rural community. The partnership was announced Feb. 1.

“Western Ottawa CRC has known for a while that we’ve had to do work around seniors’ issues,” said Julie McKercher, rural community developer at the WOCRC. “There’s a lack of service and a requirement for enhancement of services.”

West Carleton one of the ‘fastest aging communities’ Continued from page 1

McKercher said the WOCRC looked at data from the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study to show demographic trends, as well as the Local Health Integration Network.

“West Carleton is one of the fastest aging communities,” said McKercher. “That’s juxtaposed with the service reference document from the LHIN, there’s not a lot of services.”

The purpose of the meetings will be to gather information about what residents and caregivers need to age in place.

She said this could range from housing to hospice, support groups, adult day programs and transportation.

“We’re planning really to ask the community what they feel

are the biggest priority issues,” said McKercher. “The subject matter is heavy but this isn’t a consultation where we have an end goal in mind.”

Aside from the public forums, the WOCRC will be reaching out to those who use various services who are unable to attend the meetings in person.

“This is all good, good stuff for the community,” said McKercher. “There will be something tangible for the community this year.”

Old Sled Run in WC ‘all about the nostalgia’ 10th annual Legion fundraising event to take place Feb. 14 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

It’s all about the nostalgia at the Old Sled Run in support of the West Carleton Legion.

The event, celebrating a decade in operation on Feb. 14, often sees 100 to 150 participants, many with their own vintage machines.

The sleds will take off from the legion in Constance Bay and make their way to Gavan’s Hotel in Quyon, Que. “It’s the perfect destination for a nostalgia tour,” said organizer Mike O’Reilly.

Normally a quick trip for a modern machine, the time it takes to travel the roughly 11-kilometre track all depends on how many of the vintage sleds have breakdowns along the way, said O’Reilly with a chuckle.

That’s part of the charm and the fun of the event, he said.

And it’s not just the sleds that are vintage – many of the patrons also come decked out in vintage snowsuits and helmets.

There are plenty of awards up for grabs too, from best outfit to oldest sled to youngest rider, among others.

The Old Sled Run grew out of a fundraising poker run, founded by the late Rick Atchison and Dave Goodkey, and continues to

raise funds for the West Carleton Legion.

“It’s a good fit and works well for the legion,” said O’Reilly. “It’s all about the nostalgia.”

The 10th annual Old Sled Run begins with a breakfast from 8 to 10 a.m. The snowmobiles leave the legion by 10 a.m., and return by 3 p.m. for a hearty warm meal of chili, followed by the awards.

The fleet of vintage Polaris snowmobiles belonging to the Campbell family from Quyon stand at the ready for the start of the 2015 run.

Carp company fined after its worker injured Staff

A Carp company has been fined $50,000 after one of its workers was injured two years ago while fabricating a steel floor assembly.

The fine was levied in Ottawa Court Jan. 28 after M-Con Products, a company that manufactures underground precast concrete products, pleaded guilty to a workplace safety violation.

A news release from the

provincial labour ministry reports that Justice of the Peace Brian Mackey heard in Provincial Offences Court that on Feb. 4, 2014, three workers employed by M-Con were fabricating a steel floor assembly weighing about 1,800 pounds at the company’s workplace at 2150 Richardson Side Rd. in Carp.

The framework for the assembly, which was in two halves, was tack-welded to-

gether at the centre to give dimension to the finished assembly During the fabrication process, a worker was lowering a cap, with a crane, into a position that would cover a hole in the assembly. At one point, the worker put one foot on the cap when it was just inches from the hole in the assembly as a way to either steady the cap or to move it away.

At that moment, the two

Ottawa police able to offer rewards from third parties Bordeleau’s contract extended to May 2019 Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said allowing the police to work with third parties offering rewards will just be one more tool police have to catch criminals.

The Ottawa Police Services Board approved the policy change on Jan. 25.

Before, police could offer small rewards, but couldn’t co-ordinate with anyone willing to offer one.

Board vice-chair Jim Durrell expressed some concern that the new system would give the appearance of twotier policing.

“We don’t want it to appear a case is favoured because of a reward,” he said.

Bordeleau said there will absolutely not be any favouritism.

“Cases will be assigned priority just like they always would have,” he said. “The only difference is the reward might generate more tips, which we would follow up on.”

BY THE NUMBERS

In the chief’s verbal report he highlighted the work officers have been doing in break and enter and guns

and gangs investigations.

He said officers have been moved to the guns and gangs unit as police continue to grapple with an increase in gun-related crimes.

“The reality is that guns are more readily available and criminals in possession of them are more willing to use them,” Bordeleau said.

In 2015, 150 people were charged under the guns and gangs umbrella. There were a total of 1,200 charges and 76 illegal guns seized.

Bordeleau also highlighted the work of the break and enter unit, which nabbed suspects involved in a series of smash and grabs over the holidays.

Investigators arrested the suspects earlier this month and tied them to 11 incidents and laid 42 charges.

Bordeleau said enforcement isn’t the only way to deal with crime, and added police will work with the neighbourhood coalition on crime prevention.

CONTRACTS EXTENDED

After the meeting, the board announced the extension of Bordeleau’s contract to May 2019. It was set to run out in March 2017.

“We are proud of the performance of the Ottawa Police Service, its members and its leadership in serving this community,” Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who serves as board chair, said in a statement. “As a board, one of our roles is to ensure the

halves of the assembly collapsed in the centre. The injured worker was under the assembly, adjacent to the hole opening, working on one half of the assembly.

The collapse caused the two halves to separate and one of the halves fell on the injured worker, who suffered leg injuries.

M-Con pleaded guilty

to failing, as an employer, to ensure the measures and procedures prescribed by subsection 45(b) of the Industrial Establishments Regulation was carried out at the workplace, contrary to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Specifically, the company failed as an employer to ensure the assembly was placed

in such a way that it did not tip, collapse or fall.

The case was handled by Crown counsel Mike Nicol.

In addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on January 27, 2016 established its intention to designate the Boyd House, 173 Huntmar Drive under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The Boyd House, 173 Huntmar Drive, is a one-and-one-half-storey stone farmhouse located in the west end of Ottawa in the former Township of Huntley.

Statement of Cultural Value or Interest The Boyd House has cultural heritage value for its contextual value as an important reminder of the historic agricultural character of Huntley Township, design value as a 19th century farmhouse and historical value for its association with the Boyd family and the early settlement of Huntley Township.

The Boyd House’s design value lies in it being a good example of a Gothic Revival farmhouse built in the late 19th century to replace the earlier log house built upon the initial settlement of the land. Typical of this style, it features decorative bargeboard trim, a steeply pitched gable roof, segmental arched windows, including one in the gable end, and a veranda with wooden trim.

FILE

The Ottawa Police Services Board has extended Chief Charles Bordeleau’s contract until May 2019.

(Ottawa police) has consistent and strong leadership.

The extension of the chief’s contract ensures that.”

The board also extended the contract of Deputy Chief Jill Skinner to June 2018. Her contract was originally set to expire in June 2016.

Deputy Chief Ed Keeley, however, refused a contract extension that was offered to him. His contract will end in July 2017.

El-Chantiry and vicechair Jim Durrell were also re-elected during the meeting to continue in their roles with the civilian police oversight board in 2016.

-With files from Alex Robinson

The Boyd House has historical value for its association with the Boyd family from its construction in 1887 until the 1970s, when the last descendant ceased to farm the lands. The Boyd family was one of a number of Irish Protestant families who arrived in Huntley Township in the mid-19th century and quickly prospered through a combination of hard work and excellent farmland. The house is one of a number built for these early families, probably by the same Scottish stonemason that built the nearby Hartin House.

The Boyd House has contextual value because it is historically linked to its surroundings as one of the few remaining farmhouses in this area that serve as a reminder of the agricultural history of Huntley Township and the historic rural character of the area.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

With the phase one of the Sandhill project completed and many new programs underway, the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association will move into a new era at its annual meeting this Sunday, Feb. 7.

All area residents are encouraged to attend the meeting, which will run from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the community centre at 262 Len Purcell Dr. The association has announced that long-time president Ian Glen will be

stepping down as its president. “We are extraordinarily grateful for Mr. Glen’s leadership, resilience and determination, which were essential to our organization’s many and lasting achievements of the last 15 years,” said the organization in a statement.

The association is hoping for a strong turnout as all positions on the executive are up for election. “Please join us to say thank you to the board, your volunteers and retiring directors,” says the association.

The organization anticipates that 2016 will be an-

other important year as it works “to ensure our community realizes the exciting opportunities created by Sandhills Phase one.”

Everyone is welcome at this meeting, but only those holding a valid 2016 CBBCA membership and residing or having property in the CBBCA’s service area may vote.

Jim Wilson will officiate over the election of 22 board of directors and officers. Anyone interested in becoming a board member can find out more by emailing info@cbbca.ca or calling 613-832-1225.

Excitement mounts as Rural Root Theatre gears up for spring play Rural Root Theatre Company (RRTC) will kick off its 2016 season with the spring production of Affections of May, a delightful comedy by Norm Foster.

First performed in 1990, the story about rural Ontario still rings true today.

Auditions are to be held this Sunday, Feb. 7 and Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre.

Rehearsals for February and March will be held at 7 p.m. three times a week, Sunday in Constance Bay and Monday and Wednesday in Carp. For more information, visit www. ruralroot.org/affections-ofmay/.

In Affections of May, May and her husband Brian have relocated to small town Ontario. They moved from the city some time ago to get away and started a B&B. Brian one morning decides he has had enough and leaves May. Shortly after Brian has left, Quinn shows up (he has heard May is now on her own) looking for room and board for doing work around the place.

The word is out and before you know it there are other suitors at her door.

A nerdy bank employee Hank (who hasn’t had a lot of luck in his love live) will now hope to win over May.

“This four-character play offers lots of laughs and is spiced with playful innuendo, and awkward courting,” says the play’s director, Helen Weeden, “Norm Foster plays are wonderfully crafted and he has a terrific following.”

Rural Root’s first production, Council Chamber Capers, was held (where else?) at the former township council chambers (now the Client Service Centre at Kinburn) in the spring of 2005.

RRTC quickly outgrew the client centre location and accepted an offer from Ian Glen, the president of the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA), to stage their productions at the Community Centre.

Rural Root has developed and fostered a wonderful symbiotic relation-

ship with the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association.

The arrangement has worked very well, as many of the members were originally from the community.

Now actors, as well as audiences, draw from all over West Carleton and further.

Over several years the RRTC has made upgrades to the performance space at the Constance Bay facility to the benefit of the performers, audience and community at large.

RRTC is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in Ontario, and is governed by a board of directors. The term community theatre is used where theatrical performances are in, for and by a community, with and without professional assistance. It, therefore, covers a wide range of theatrical organizations.

Four methods to keep kids in check on social media Online safety consultant gives parents tips to protect children on the web Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

There are four ways parents can help keep their children in check on social media, says Natalia McPhedran.

The online safety consultant gave a presentation to parents at Venta Preparatory School on Jan. 21, to help them better understand the safety concerns that come with using a constantly changing online landscape.

Parents need to understand how the apps and social networks their children are using work, and the potential safety risks that come with them, she said.

“The answer is be informed, set boundaries and have open dialogues with your children,” said McPhedran.

This includes online and console gaming, which can easily morph into an addiction, she said.

One in four teens are heavy Internet users, preferring to spend time in the digital world. Ninety per cent of teens have smart phones, classrooms have moved to digital SMART boards and many homework assignments require the use of the Internet. Social media is “almost a mandatory thing for children to be on,” said McPhedran.

Parents wouldn’t hand over the family car keys to a teenager without first insisting on driver training and the same can be said for social media and gaming.

“We have to know what they’re doing online,” said McPhedran. Which is where the four steps come in.

HAVE AN AGREEMENT

The first step is to create an agreement. This outlines gaming days, non-gaming days and online time limits.

“The schedule now becomes the bad guy, not you,” said McPhedran. Having a schedule to follow makes children and teens more accountable and forces them to add balance to their life.

To get past the request of “one more minute,” McPhedran suggests using a digital timer to ring when the time is up.

There are also applications that can be downloaded (such as OurPact, suggested a parent in the audience) that will automatically shut off devices when the time is up.

Part of the agreement should include a “no devices after” a certain time. For McPhedran’s family, that’s 8 p.m.

“I tell my children after 8 p.m. you get emotional, tired, you’ll post things you’ll regret,” she said, adding they all place their personal devices in a main room after 8 p.m.

She said it’s important for parents to model the same behaviour they expect from their children.

It’s also vital to have a discussion around passwords and the importance of not sharing them with anyone but their parents; a lesson McPhedran learned when she received a call from her daughter’s school.

Friends had gotten hold of her daughter’s phone, typed in her password and texted inappropriate messages to another student.

SPORADIC MONITORING

Number two on the list is to sporadically monitor children while they’re online, said McPhedran.

“When you’re monitoring you’re not spying,” she said, adding phones and computers are not privacy tools, they’re communication tools.

Check text messages, social media posts and comments, and browse the online history of devices. If parents come across something questionable, the point is to engage in open dialogue – not to shame.

“If you want your children to talk to you, you have to pick your battles,” said McPhedran. “The more you monitor, the more you’re going to see them doing stupid things.”

Be aware of “hidden apps” where users can hide things they may not want seen.

There’s a “calculator app,” which looks like a calculator but has a blue corner that can be used to hide photos.

“They will find loopholes; nothing’s foolproof,” said McPhedran, adding this is why open dialogue is key.

Using personal experience, she told the parents how she found provocative photos on her daughter’s phone. This opened the conversation around child pornography laws in Canada.

Sharing explicit photos, or even just having them on a phone could result in child pornography charges for distribution and possession.

There are cases of “sextortion” as well, where teens are blackmailed into sharing more provocative photos by online predators.

“We cannot allow our children to be behind closed doors,” said McPhedran.

KEEP DEVICES IN CENTRAL AREA

This moves into the third point – keep all devices in an area that can be controlled.

“It’s easy to access, easy to monitor when you’re in hearing range,” she said.

Applications, like Net Nanny, can help filter content and provide some parental controls but they aren’t foolproof, she warned.

“Kids are moving away from TV, towards Netflix and YouTube,” said McPhedran.

With that move, many are creating their own videos to post. Everyone wants to be a celebrity, said McPhedran, so she’s developed two questions – “What is this video saying about you?” and “How could this video hurt your future reputation?” – that help children determine if a post could be harmful.

Having devices in a central area can also help parents monitor for cyberbullying.

“Children won’t always tell you,” said McPhedran. “You need to read their body language.”

FOLLOW THEM

Parents need to sign up for and follow their children on the social media applications their children are on, said McPhedran.

Learn how to enact the privacy settings, how to block unwanted followers and delete inappropriate comments.

“Once they enter the world you have to enter the world too,” she said.

McPhedran sat down with her children to create a secret profile on social media.

She follows her children’s accounts, but silently. She doesn’t comment on or like posts, nor does she follow her children’s friends.

This allows her to keep her “diary-reading privileges,” she said.

From there it’s easy to see what’s being posted, followers and comments.

They also have conversations about what their posts could say to someone who doesn’t know them.

“You’re only as good as your last 10 posts. What are people going to see? What do these posts say about who you are?” said McPhedran.

“We can drive ourselves crazy trying to protect them from everything. This is why you need an open dialogue, to talk about the risks.”

Parents who attended the meeting found McPhedran’s advice helpful.

Natalia McPhedran, online safety consultant, talks to parents about how to help keep their children safe online.

Louise and Kevin Browne have two children, ages 13 and 11, who attend Venta.

Although they aren’t permitted devices like smart phones on school property, they Brownes said the information would be useful.

“The presentation was extremely enlightening,” said Kevin. “We have a lot of learning to do for the years ahead.”

Jennifer and Adam Low,

who have a six- and a 10-yearold, said the presentation is also useful in an every-day sense.

“Social media aside, those are great fundamental tools,” said Andrew of the four steps.

“It boils down to parents’ attitudes,” added Jennifer.

“They can’t just turn a blind eye.”

NCC process needs to be more open

C

anadians will have their chance to weigh in on the two competing proposals to develop anywhere from 9.1 hectares to 21.6 hectares of land west of our downtown.

But some key information seems to missing from the process. Daniel Peritz, vice-president of Canderel, which is one of the parties in Devcore Group that proposed Canadensis said shovels could be in the ground after the approvals in 2017, but didn’t outline the timelines for the three phases of the project. It’s the one that includes an arena and a library.

Wait, that’s both groups.

First of all, Canadians likely expected a bigger range of options when it came to develop a tract of land that has remained vacant for decades.

And that both proposals include a library supposes that Ottawa will want to move their central library there. That process is separate and ongoing – with five sites being considered.

It’s possible that the size of the project and the expenses involved prohibited some other players from entering the arena, but the lack of costing in the proposals means we will never know.

Canadians are being asked to evaluate two huge

proposals involving valuable crown land without having concrete information about construction timelines or how much the individual proposals will cost.

Considering whoever gets the successful bid has a $170-million remediation job ahead of them before the first brick gets laid down, it would be good to know that the parties involved have the capital needed for such a large-scale venture. And what will happen to the Ottawa Senators? That’s the big question. It’s such a big question in fact, that it’s clouding the issue.

Why would Devcore include a NHL-calibre arena in their plan without talking to the owner of the team? But, on the other hand, is it fair for Eugene Melnyk to hold the team hostage as a negotiating tool to push his team’s bid into the public eye?

Melnyk said he won’t sell the team for any price, while the competing team has said they’re willing to talk about many scenarios to facilitate the Senators playing downtown.

We hope that this information will come to light soon, but with the clock ticking on the Feb. 8 public comment deadline, we feel we are being asked to make a decision without having all the facts.

The vision becomes clearer

C

ontinuing along the lines of the argument about great cities, which was last week’s theme, we now have some LeBreton Flats plans to look at. How will LeBreton Flats fit into the great city that people want Ottawa to become?

Well it gets back to the discussion of what makes a city great. Is it a city full of tourist attractions, or is it a city that concentrates foremost on the people who live in it? We see some of these themes arising in the LeBreton proposals. One has lots of tourist attractions, the other less so.

Both feature housing, which is crucial to the area. If no one lives there, LeBreton Flats becomes a dead space at times. If people live there they will support stores and restaurants, not to mention a library.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Initially, people were skeptical about a hockey arena being a central part of the plan. The idea has been expressed that an arena serves only the people of Ottawa — while presumably something like an aquarium serves all of Canada. It’s a bit of a dubious proposition, but it’s one of the things the National Capital Commission will have to consider.

At any event, we will have a new arena if either of the two proposals now under consideration is Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 104 Director of Advertising Cheryl Hammond cheryl.hammond@metroland.com Phone 613-221-6218

accepted. And it’s actually a good thing. The Canadian Tire Centre, which many of us still think of as brand new, is actually showing its age a bit.

Expensive renovations lie ahead, if it stays where it is. And the kind of improvements it needs, such as a widened concourse area, can’t be done given the present structure.

So a new arena is not as ludicrous an idea as it first seemed.

Plus, its presence in LeBreton Flats, convenient to downtown, served by public transit and with a community of stores, restaurants and bars within walking distance, can only be an asset to the city — and even to tourists: remember that not only hockey will featured. In the coming days, more details will emerge about the two proposals and opinions will solidify.

One thing that an overwhelming majority of us can agree on is that we should get on with it.

It’s absolutely ludicrous that such a large and central chunk of land should sit empty for more than 50 years.

And we’re not even sure why.

Obviously, much of it has to do with our capital being blessed with so many jurisdictions – the city, the NCC, Public Works, two provinces and the federal government, in the political sense.

But much of it has to do with a kind of institutional caution. We have to study everything.

But first we have to study how to study it.

Then the studies that emerge have to be reviewed. Documents have to be translated.

The public has to be consulted.

The environment has to be considered. There needs to be consultation about that.

Then a government changes and everything has to start again. Added to that is the easily perceived fact

Road is a vital link to our rural property To the Editor: When is a road not a road allowance?

The answer is, obviously, when it is a road.

This letter is in response to a letter appearing in the West Carleton Review of Jan. 28, authored by Ms. Janie FindlayPenny. The letter raises several issues which are inaccurate in nature and, which I feel I must respond to.

The Yagminas family have resided on Needhams Side Road for almost 50 years and, in addition, this is a multi-generational farm and where my wife was born.

We, therefore, have a long history with this road, which borders the complete length of the farm.

The road was fully maintained and open in the past. As a young girl my wife was taken via this road to the public school, which was at the corner of Vances Side Rd. and the Dunrobin Road.

I used this road to drive daily to work in Ottawa. Thus, the legal opinion of the city solicitor as described in Ms. Findlay’s letter is only relevant to an un-opened

road allowance.

Although the city discontinued to maintain the road several years ago and to my knowledge has not closed the road, it remains a vital link to our property.

I am unaware of Ms. Findlay having expertise in civil engineering, thus I feel the comments made about the road and about our councillor’s response are unfair, inappropriate and demeaning.

This dispute is not between our family and Ms. Findlay, but rather between her and the City. Perhaps this is an issue of who controls the road and activity therein.

We also have no issue with her dog visiting us, as has happened in the past, which of course has little to do with the road issue.

We have not had discussions on how the road access is to be controlled and, therefore, this also remains a non-issue.

Spend money on roads at well as LRT To the Editor: I very much appreciate your article of Jan. 21 (West Carleton Review) about how the LRT will be paid for.

What the City of Ottawa never thinks about is the fact that we the taxpayers pay for federal and provincial as well as municipal taxes.

With 20,000 people out of work in Alberta, media employees losing their jobs and businesses closing leaving people out of work, paying for the essentials like Hydro, housing and food makes it difficult for them to have anything left over for unnecessary things.

The widening of the Airport Parkway is essential for visitors, as well as us residents. Everyone going to and from the airport needs to be not held up in traffic.

Now that the LRT could go to the airport, the widening has been postponed. This shows

that money for LRT takes priority over roadways.

All over the rural areas there are big patches of disintegrated roads. These very bumpy and pot-holed sections of road (like where Woodkilton Road meets the Thomas Dolan Parkway) desperately need fixing.

The City of Ottawa wants us not to use our necessary vehicles and doesn’t even want to provide parking. For example, the Lebreton project expects only 20 per cent of the visitors to arrive by car.

Tourists especially need a place to put their car, even if LRT was used for part of their way.

LRT is soaking up most of our money.

The moon shone bright on the eve of calving season

“Your cows are not speaking to each other,” the Farmer commented as he sat down to dinner.

“Huh? How do you know?

What happened?”

“They are separated. Scattered around the field. Each in their own corner. And some have wandered into the next field. They aren’t getting along and they don’t want to be together. I think someone’s about to calve.”

Masters of deception, our cows, we are rarely convinced they are pregnant until suddenly there is a calf standing beside them.

It isn’t until the last day or two of gestation that their usual round girth gets accessorized with a swollen udder.

This scattering to all corners of the field has me worried. It has been a full moon

DIANA FISHER Accidental Farmwife lately, lighting the snowcovered fields at night, but what if one of them goes into labour in the pitch dark and we can’t find the calf to help bring it to warm and dry shelter?

This is how my brain rambles, starting up the worry engine.

lights on it as it is warm.

I feel bad taking the lights off, but they’ve got to go.

Christmas is over and it feels like spring.

I fill the bird feeder and feel the brush of wings around my head as the tiny birds light on the window ledge beside me. I cover my palm with black-oiled sunflower seeds and hold my hand outstretched. Standing perfectly still, I wait. A blue jay lands on the overhead wires and mocks me.

“Hey lady. Whatcha doin’ with the seeds?” The big blue bully has scared away the more tame chickadees for the time being.

I watch as he hops around the mouth of the abandoned doghouse, looking for kibble. It used to be his favourite snack, and Cody let him steal all the time. He won’t be so lucky if he tries that with Chelsea.

I have a tiny new puncture wound on the back of

my hand and a bruise on my knuckle. I got it while trying to spend quality time with our senior-citizen Border Collie. I have a hard time thinking of her as old because she has so much energy, but she is at least 10.

She has always been particularly snappy, so we have kept her at the barn. I am trying to get her more accustomed to me so perhaps she will learn she doesn’t need to bite. The Farmer says I should just let her be. But I’m stubborn.

I unhooked her chain and led her from the barn to the house, so she could trot along at my side as I did work in the yard. She is quite happy to be fed and patted briefly on the head, but if you tarry a little too long in her close proximity, you’re going to get bitten.

Today I decided to take her chain off her collar, as it kept getting stuck in the porch boards. I knew I was

going to get a bite long before her razor sharp teeth sunk into my hand. It took about an hour to get my land legs back after the adrenalin rush.

Off her chain, she happily ran along beside me, wagging her tail and smiling. She took a snack that I placed before her, and accepted a pat on her head. She is quite pleasant if you play by her rules.

I let the Farmer put her back on her chain at the end of our afternoon together. I wonder what goes through that pointed little head of hers.

She might be afraid of me, but I know she is extremely smart so I’m hoping we will get past that. I’ve tried before, many times, and I have the scars to prove it.

Gardener to discuss hoop greenhouse project at WC meeting In the dead of winter when the days are still short, it can be hard to imagine a vegetable growing season that could last nine months.

But that’s exactly what David Hinks and a group of 16 gardeners did when they took over a 1,500-square-foot hoop greenhouse that was not being used.

Calling it his great hoop house adventure, the Almonte resident will talk about the project at the next meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club Tuesday, Feb. 9.

A lifelong vegetable gardener and the club’s president, Hinks created the group of both experienced and novice gardeners as a way of sharing knowledge, broadening their experience and building a team with a shared vision.

Over the growing season, they harvested more than 1,000 pounds of food for the food bank.

A hoop house is similar to what most might think of as a regular greenhouse, except instead of having glass sides, those sides are plastic, which helps keep in heat and protect plants from wind and cool temperatures.

The appeal of an extended growing season was natural for Hinks, who is a committed social gardener with a track record of getting involved in local projects that help the community.

He recently finished a term as the head of Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton, a volunteer group of experienced gardeners dedicated to helping home gardeners with advice and guidance.

Personally, he’s committed to “empowering people to grow their own food and moving away from a gardening model where we try to kill everything that creeps, hops or flies to one where we realize that a sustainable balance is more attuned to our long-term survival as a species.”

His talk will also look at the importance of growing food locally, learning about very cold-tolerant vegetables and about extending knowledge of gardening organically.

The presentation takes place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9 at the Memorial Hall in Carp, 3739 Carp Rd. (at Donald B. Munro Drive).

Non-members are welcome (there is a nominal fee of $5 for non-members).

12 West Carleton Review - Thursday, February 4, 2016

This is the year of collaboration, said Mayor Jim Watson, during his annual state of the city address during the Jan. 27 Ottawa council meeting.

The calendar for 2016 is jam packed, Watson said, adding he expected the city to be able to break ground on the new Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards this year.

Watson also has plans for a trade mission to India – similar to the work that’s been done in China.

He’s working with Ottawabased IT company EION Wireless.

“They are a local business looking to build on the high bandwidth and WIFI products they have already deployed for public and private sector clients in India,” Watson said. “At over 1.2 billion and a large middle class, India in an important market for the city to have a presence in.”

Continuing with the focus on the economy – Watson announced an education and economy summit to be held this year under the direction of River Coun. Riley Brockington.

“With his background in education, he’s the perfect fit,” Watson said.

Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier will head the tourism summit set to happen in the spring.

Watson said the summit was aimed at developing a long-term plan for the city’s third largest economic driver.

He said while plans for 2017 are well cemented, he wants to continue to look ahead.

“We don’t want to have a 2017 hangover,” he said. “We want to build on success year over year.”

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish was named the city’s special liaison on refugee settlement. His role will include working with Refugee 613 and Ottawa Catholic Immigration Services to help develop a plan for refugees beyond their 12-month sponsorship. Watson said Qaqish may be involved in fundraising efforts as well.

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND

This is the year of collaboration, said Mayor Jim Watson, during his annual state of the city address during the Jan. 27 Ottawa council meeting.

“His ability to speak Arabic will be valuable,” Watson said, adding it’s in the city’s best interest that our newest residents succeed in the capital.

The city has welcomed 500 Syrian refugees to date.

ENVIRONMENT

The city will enter into the final phase of the Ottawa River Action Plan. Watson said workers will break ground on the final portion of the project: the Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel.

In the spring and fall of 2017, the city will plant 150 sugar, red and silver maples trees in each of the city’s 23 wards.

Watson said staff will work with councillors to identify appropriate locations for the trees.

It is my hope that we will collaborate with community associations, schools and other interested groups, as we pass along this gift to our community during Canada’s 150th,” Watson said.

COMMEMORATIONS

Watson said he wanted to honour the late Max Keeping for his contributions to the community by naming the pedestrian and cycling bridge that links the Raymond Chabot Grant Thorton Park, (RCGT Park ) formerly called Lynx Stadium and Coventry Road.

The bridge is close to the

Cancer Survivors Park and CHEO – where Keeping donated much of his time and money.

“I think this would be a perfect fit to recognize a man who gave so much to our community.

The idea would have to be approved under the city’s commemorative naming process.

Watson also wants to honour the Supreme Court of Canada’s Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin.

McLachlin is the first woman to hold the post and the longest serving Chief Justice in Canada’s history.

She will be given a key to the city on March 22.

“She will receive our highest civic honour….,” he said.

“And she will do so as a role model, a leader and a nation builder who deserves to be recognized by our city.”

2017 Ottawa will host the 2017 Juno Awards and Watson named Kitchissippi Coun.

Jeff Leiper as his representative on the host committee.

“He is working hard with the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition to bring together members of our music community,” Watson said.

The city is also working on bids to host 2017 Grey Cup game and the NHL Heritage Classic.

Watson said heading into the next year, council will continue to work on ensuring a high quality of life in Ottawa.

Its presence raised quite a stir in the birding community for Bullock’s are southwestern birds rarely seen in Ontario. Hundreds of birders flocked to see the celebrity, which survived by eating apples while enduring harassment from irresponsible photographers.

The oriole made an eagerly anticipated appearance on the Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count. Until then, the weather was mild and the bird seemed healthy and alert.

Soon after, however, winter temperatures arrived and the oriole faltered. Ray Holland (who along with Richard Waters discovered the oriole) captured it and it was sent to the Wild Bird Care Centre in Ottawa, where any injured wild bird can be sent.

The oriole is recovering nicely, but even in captivity it continues to make news. Behind the scenes one of its feathers and some of its droppings were taken for DNA analysis.

Soon afterwards CBC News exhibited the headline: “Birders

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way fooled by imposter Bullock’s oriole in Pakenham, Ont.” The article boldly proclaimed that the oriole was proven to be not a Bullock’s but a Baltimore, the Bullock’s eastern counterpart, which is common in our area.

Unfortunately, the proclamation was more than startling; it was also misleading and inaccurate.

The DNA examined was a type called mitochondrial DNA, which contains genes passed down by mothers to their offspring. Thus it only reflects the history of the female line (hence its nickname: “the Eve gene”).

What mitochondrial DNA doesn’t indicate is the complete history or genetic makeup of its owner. Another type, nuclear DNA, provides that information.

Bullock’s and Baltimore orioles occasionally cross-breed, especially where their ranges overlap in what is called the hybridization zone. Interbreeding is the reason they were once “lumped” into one species, the Northern Oriole.

However, further research revealed them to be valid species, and their original names were restored.

Hybrids display mixed traits of both parents, but the Pakenham bird showed only pure Bullock’s traits. So did the DNA lie? No, but the author of the analysis applied a very narrow interpretation (saying it was a Baltimore), while many other, perhaps more valid interpretations (such it was a Bullock’s Oriole with a very distant Baltimore connection) were ignored.

The classical definition for a species is a distinct population of reproductively isolated animals, a criterion that was created to allow humans to classify life forms.

However, it is the visual appear-

MICHAEL RUNTZ

Recently the identity of the Pakenham Bullock’s Oriole was questioned, but the conclusions may have been faulty. ance of the organisms (their phenotype) that is instrumental in assigning species designations.

Thousands of birds housed in museum collections were identified solely by their appearance, not their mitochondrial DNA, and when birders identify wild birds, it is primarily their visual appearance that provides the necessary information.

The recent conclusion about the oriole’s identity, while perhaps not completely wrong, was

at best premature and misleading.

Shame on the CBC reporter for not making his story more objective and complete by consulting oriole experts for their opinions.

For me and hundreds of other people, the Pakenham bird was, and until proven otherwise, will always be a Bullock’s Oriole.

Perhaps CBC should run a new story: “CBC reporter fooled by Bullock’s Oriole DNA results.”

Province seeks input as it tries to stop death of bees Ontario is seeking out public input in its efforts to stem the rising death rates of bees and other pollinators.

In a news release last week, the province points out that pollinators, including honey bees, are essential to Ontario’s agricultural sector and contribute about $992 million worth of activity annually to the economy.

The province maintains it became the first jurisdiction in North America to protect bees and other pollinators

through new rules introduced on July 1, 2015 that will reduce the number of acres planted with neonicotinoidtreated corn and soybean seeds by 80 per cent by 2017.

Now, Ontario is looking for the public’s feedback on a proposed plan to improve pollinator health that will address: • habitat and nutrition; • diseases, pests and genetics; • climate change and weather;

• pesticide exposure.

The proposed plan will be posted on the provincial Environmental Registry until March 7. Additionally, the public can also provide input on protecting pollinator health by completing a public survey.

Ontario is home to more than 400 bee species, which are the most common pollinators.

Honey bees and some bumble bees are bred specifically for pollinating plants

for food. A foraging honey bee will travel up to 3 kilometres from the colony (and up to 10 kilometres if food is scarce).

“Pollinators are critical to Ontario’s agri-food sector and our society as a whole,” said Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Jeff Leal.

“While, Ontario farmers are working to protect pollinators through integrated pest management, the proposed Pollinator Health Action Plan will create more dis-

“Based on these audit findings, we cannot trust PMRA to protect children and adults, bees and other pollinators let alone the environment broadly,” says Beatrice Olivastri, CEO of Friends of the Earth Canada.

“Clearly, the new govern-

cussion and encourage greater cooperation to improve pollinator health in our province.

It is important to recognize that we all have a role to play in protecting pollinator populations in this province.”

“Much of the food we eat and the vibrancy of Ontario’s natural habitats depend on a healthy pollinator population,” added Environment and Climate Change Minister Glen Murray.

Knights uprising not in the cards The second Arnprior Knights-Legion euchre challenge of six was held at the St. John Chrysostom parish hall on the evening of Jan. 29 with a record 98 players attending.

The Knights were in a foul mood after taking a thumping in the first challenge (down by 31 games). Led by Dave Schefter\Mike Glofcheski with a record of 7 wins 8 points and ‘Deacon’ Mike Lund\Chris Coady, the Knights appeared to be on the verge of taking

control of the challenge. But, alas, led by the Legion team of Peggy Barsoski and Keith Burns (8 wins 9 points), the Legion made short work of the uprising and completed the comeback by tacking on another 11 wins, bringing the total to 42.

Knights who fell on their respective swords (skunked) included Kerri Hellman\Holly Schroeder, Chuck\Jill Sheffield, Dan\Marion Nicholas and Gerald Stanton\Barkley

CHEO begins $10M day surgery unit renovation with a bang Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Armed with a sledgehammer, CHEO’s president was one of the first to punch through a wall at the hospital to mark the start of a $10-million renovation project that is expected to allow surgeons to perform more day surgeries and cut patient wait times in half.

When the regional children’s hospital first opened its doors in 1974, just 20 per cent of patients went home the same day their surgical procedures were performed.

“Today it’s reversed; 80 per cent of surgeries here at CHEO are now day surgeries due to advances in surgical technique, in pharmacology and in treating illness,” Alex Munter, CHEO president and chief executive, said Jan. 28 during a ceremony to kick off Project Stitch, the nickname of the renovation work that will transform the hospital’s day surgery and post-anesthetic care units.

With a shift towards day surgeries, surgical teams have

had to work within a limited and an outdated physical infrastructure.

“So a physical space that was designed to deal with 20 per cent of surgeries back 40 years ago is today trying to accommodate 80 per cent of surgeries,” Munter said before a large crowd while standing in the barren third-floor space that will be overhauled by the winter of 2018.

Because of those physical limitations, the hospital hasn’t been able to achieve its goal to deliver “an exceptional patient experience in every case or reduce wait times,” said Munter, who was joined during the announcement

by Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, CHEO Foundation president Kevin Keohane, Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli and Jason Hann, CHEO director of perioperative services.

NUMBERS GROWING

The overhaul will see the number of surgical procedures performed every year rise from 7,600 to 9,100.

More procedures mean fewer waits for surgeries, such as dental, oral, eye and ear, nose and throat operations, which can be up to a year, said Dr. Juan Bass, CHEO’s chief of surgery.

Charles-Antoine Rozon, who is involved in Project Stitch fundraising efforts, still remembers the day his daughter, Jade, was born with a rare and severe congenital malformation affecting her lower stomach.

Jade, now 8, has had multiple surgeries at CHEO since then, including an operation last October that lasted more than eight hours.

The renovation will mean patients waiting for surgery and their families won’t have to sit near reception and watch as other patients are brought in after their procedures.

Hearing other children coming back from surgery, “… just elevates the anxiety level,” said Rozon, a Blackburn Hamlet resident. “It doesn’t help with the experience.

“And it’s such an easy an-

Following his daughter’s surgery last fall, Rozon remembers being debriefed by the surgeon in the hallway.

“In my case privacy is also important,” he said.

As a partner at accounting firm KPMG, Rozon said he works with a lot of doctors. “and essentially I’ve seen clients in the hallway.”

Once renovated, the space will be home to newly combined day surgery and recovery units, a new family waiting room, five new bed bays in the day care surgery, three

new bed bays in the postanesthetic care unit, two new minor procedure rooms and a new $3.6-million 3T MRI machine.

“This is such a tangible project. It’s going to make such a difference,” Rozon said.

The project is the latest step in the hospital’s ongoing efforts to whittle down wait lists. Since 2012, it has scaled those back by 25 per cent and is now able to use 12 per cent more operating room time.

Though the hospital is considered the most efficient pediatric surgical program in Ontario, it still has the highest number of surgeries that surpass provincial wait-time targets of all pediatric centres in Canada.

The renovation project is being funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Health to the tune of $8.6 million, while the CHEO Foundation, through community donations, has generated $4.5 million of its $5 million goal. The foundation is expecting to raise the remainder in the coming months.

Public to consider competing proposals for LeBreton Flats Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The National Capital Commission unveiled the two competing proposals for LeBreton Flats on Jan. 26.

Both proposals include an event

centre they hope will be home to the Ottawa Senators and a central library – but the similarities end there.

Developers Devocore Canderel DLS Group – backed by billionaires André Desmarais and Guy Laliberté – unveiled a very grand

idea, which matched the showmanship of Cirque Du Soleil, founded by Laliberté.

The land, which the group said they planned to purchase outright, will house a Ripley’s Aquarium, a world automobile museum, an amphitheatre and a Canadian Communication Centre to showcase Canadian media and broadcasting history, retail, housing, an

air pavilion for indoor skydiving.

It will also include a science and innovation pavilion to feature items from the Canada Science and Technology Museum on a rotating basis.

The facility will also be home to the namesake to the plan – Canadensis.

Canadensis, which in Latin, means to originate in Canada,

will be a four-season linear park stretching the entire length of the development to showcase flora and fauna that are native to Canada.

“It will represent everything from the coastal islands to the Boreal forest,” said Richard Brisbin, an Ottawa architect.

See COMMENTS, page 25

The National Capital Commission’s has received two proposals in response to its request for projects to decontaminate and build on LeBretron Flats.

Ottawa Public Library 3911 Carp Road Tues. & Wed. Feb. 9 & 10 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Comments welcome on proposals until Feb. 8 Continued from page 24

The plan is to complete construction on 22 hectares of the property over a 15-year period.

The first phase would include a YMCA, an elementary school and 1,100 residential units. Construction could begin as early as 2017 if all the approvals are in line, said Canderel vice-president Daniel Peritz.

“There’s something for everyone,” he said. “Young adults, empty nesters, seniors.”

Plans also include an NHL-calibre arena, which would be housed in an event centre.

There’s a big snag with that part of the plan, however, since Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk sits on the team of developers that submitted the competing proposal – and he said he won’t sell his team, nor will he allow the Sens to play in an arena he doesn’t own.

Melnyk and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group have teamed up with Trinity Developments, and more than 30 other partners, including developers Windmill, Brigil and Mattamy Homes, the Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation and architect Barry Hobin. Together they are called the RendezVous LeBreton

Group.

Their ‘Illumination LeBreton’ plan includes five distinct neighbourhoods: Bayview Pimisi, Aqueduct, Asticou and Quartier Lebreton. All would ring the event centre – which would be the Ottawa Senators’ new home.

Hobin said the revival of LeBreton Flats has to deal with the derelict waterway, so there’s an aqueduct, which would serve as a skating rink in the winter, running through the development.

Both Illumination LeBreton and Canadensis promise to have no carbon footprint.

Hobin said to avoid bisecting

the site, there will be another level built over the light rail, as part of the Illumination LeBreton concept.

That second level would create a street, known as Canada Drive, and connect Nations Plaza and LeBreton Square.

Hobin said Ottawans can take ownership of the site like they would the ByWard Market.

Place de la Gare, another square-type area, would connect the waterfront to Bayview Station and offer a view of the Canadian War Museum.

The site would also feature a National Abilities Centre, a Cana-

da House for members of the military and Preston Canopy, a square of sorts featuring projections and a water show, designed to drive traffic to it.

The NCC hosted public consultations Jan. 26 and 27 at the Canadian War Museum. Canadians have until Feb. 8 to submit comments on the proposals at ncc-ccn. gc.ca.

Mark Kristmanson, chief executive of the NCC, said Ottawa’s light-rail plan is the catalyst for the development.

“We are at a defining moment in the history of LeBreton Flats,” he said.

NAC rejuvenation project gets the green light

Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The National Capital Commission’s board of directors approved a $110-million facelift for the National Arts Centre on Jan. 20, with a caveat that the board have final say on the management for a “lantern feature.”

The lantern feature – a tall glass addition intended to serve as an electronic marquee with still and moving images over a new Confederation Square entrance – was a cause for concern at the board because of the potential for over exposure of corporate sponsors.

The lantern will mostly feature performances at the NAC and local events like Remembrance Day, but 10 per cent of the space could be devoted to corporate sponsors, NAC representatives said.

Board member Norman Hotson said he would hate to see it used as a way to attract corporate sponsors.

“I would like to see the lantern used for non-commercial purpos-

es,” he said.

While Hotson said he was enthusiastic about the renovations, he said he hopes to see more ambitious weather protection at the entrance – in the form of an awning or some other covering.

Steve Willis, executive director of capital planning for the NCC, said the lighting in the lantern could be dimmed or turned off if needed.

The project was well received by the NCC’s advisory committee on planning, design and realty in December.

Hotson said he was happy to see the work completed.

“There will finally be a front door on the street,” he said, “something that should have been there all along.”

Hotson called the existing NAC building one of the worst examples of urban design in the city.

The design attempts to knit the old and the new, planners said, adding consultations with veteran groups took place to make sure the new facade worked well with the nearby National War Memorial.

“Pedestrians will have a lot to look at when they walk by,” Willis said.

Construction at the NAC is slated to be completed by July 2017, to coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.

September 5, 1945 – January 28, 2016 Canadian Hydrographic Service, DFO (Retired) Queen’s Silver Jubilee and 125 Anniversary of Confederation Medal 1992 Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal 2002 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our Dad, Jake Kean on January 28, 2016, at the Smiths Falls Hospital, after an incredible battle against cancer.

Anyone who has ever met our Dad knows his sense of humor and charisma, whereas he wanted to share his last journal entry: I am the son of the late Audrey and Jack Kean.

I checked out of Hotel Life after a gratifying existence of 70 years. In my untimely haste, I leave behind my loving daughter Chantelle (or Stella as she likes to be called and her fiancé Pete) and my cherished grandsons Diesel and Hunter, my loving son Chadwick (Angie) and my special granddaughters Penelope and Phoebe, and my spouse Shirley of 43 years.

Also surviving me are my supportive brother Mike (late Linda), loving sisters Janine (Frank) and Shelley (Larry), several nieces and nephews, as well as multiple friends and colleagues from the past 70 years.

In discussions, all have expressed their best wishes for a successful search for Jack, Audrey, and my twin brother of 70 years, John Anthony (I think I know where he is hiding).

Many “thank you” to all the excellent Doctors and Nursing Staff who tried to keep me from departing during my courageous battle.

At my request, there will be no funeral services, as I have been cremated. For those wishing to do so, I ask that any donation be directed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) or a charity or your choice.

Please enjoy a wonderful stay in Hotel Life.

Cheers, Jake. www.barkerfh.com

Graeme has finally used up all of his nine lives and passed away at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Jan. 29.

2016 in his 84th year. A native of England Graeme served with the Royal Air Force from Scott - Graeme 1951 to 1953.He attended Imperial College University of London and then worked a year at Mullard, (a Brit electronics component manufacturer) before emigrating to Canada in 1957. While working as a designer of test equipment at Northern Electric in Montreal he was a co-designer of a machine called Cerberus which was a radical for its time and used highspeed paper tape programmed to verify the correctness of freshly manufactured telephone switching equipment. He joined G.P.I. computers, moving to Control Data Canada in 1966. He rejoined Northern Electric at its research and development laboratories in Ottawa in 1967 and became manager of the computer technology centre at Bell Northern Research. Graeme also lectured in computer science at the University of Ottawa. In 1973 he co-authored an article entitled “Grapple”, an interactive computer graphics language.

Graeme’s enthusiasm for innovation was infectious and was amplified by his dry wit. He was one of the many BNR contributors who were paid to have fun and change the world in the bargain. His last contributions were related to using networked personal computers to facilitate video teleconferencing and the exchange of ideas between and among humans separated by distance. Graeme was one of the founding members of the Kanata Theatre Group. He enjoyed many hobbies which included horseback riding. He loved to tell the story of tying his horse up outside BNR while he attended a meeting. He studied photography, astronomy and derived great enjoyment turning our home into a “smart house” He is survived by his loving wife and partner of 33 years Anne Cushing Courrier Hutchison. Daughters Felicity (Doug Hunter), Caledon, Julie (Bill Sullivan), Victoria, and his son Richard of Ottawa. He will be sadly missed by his stepdaughters Brenda Cushing Ottawa and Donna Courrier (Matt McGarvey) Russell. His grandchildren who loved him dearly Jaimie, Lauren, Graeme and Sara of Victoria, B.C. and Justin (Stevenson) Ottawa. He is also survived by his first wife and friend Rosemary (Pick) England.

‘It’s nice to know you can make a difference in a kid’s life’: Goins

“We come in here just trying to boost morale,” said Pillar. “On the flip side for us, it keeps our lives in perspective. Our lives can be very overwhelming and tough at some points, especially playing a game like baseball where you fail so much.”

Such visits are as beneficial to the famous players, said Pillar.

“We learn from each other.

Hopefully, we teach them that dreams are possible, you can overcome,” he said.

The first sports celebrity he interacted with as a kid growing up in Los Angeles was Jack Haley, a former NBA player who passed away last year.

“He had a basketball camp in my area every year. He was just someone to look up to,” Pillar recalled.

“When he talked, you listened. He was a good role model for a lot of us to want to be like.”

Haley spoke to youth about overcoming adversity and failure, “getting back up and trying it again,” said Pillar, who planned to share a similar message with kids at the Boys and Girls Club, following the CHEO tour.

“I honestly believe if you work hard enough at something, no matter how many times you fail, you’ll find a way to succeed,” said Pillar.

He said though he didn’t play ball at a prestigious college and was only drafted to the big leagues later in life, he hopes to serve as an example to kids, that if he – “a normal person” – can realize his dreams, they can too with a lot of effort.

“I’m extremely fortunate to have gotten to where I’ve gotten, but I’ve also understood the type of sacrifice and the type of hard work

As the players mingled with patients, their parents and hospital staff, they handed out Blue Jays tuques and signed them for their young fans, from infants to teens.

In addition to the tuques, the players and officials from TD Bank and the Jays Care Foundation presented the CHEO Foundation with a $20,000 cheque, which will help pay for specialized hospital equipment.

“This visit really is lifting the spirits of the kids that are coming here today,” said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive of the CHEO Foundation. “It really does make a difference.”

One of the young patients, Wills Jones, 16, presented the players with a homemade paper baseball bat card decorated with drawings and patient signatures.

Jamie Campbell, host of Blue Jays Central, visits his friends, Stephanie Paravan and her nine-year-old son Matthew, of Carlingwood, at CHEO on Jan. 22. Campbell, who joined four Blue Jays players during the visit, first met Matthew by chance when the youngster was undergoing treatment for a still undiagnosed condition in Toronto.

“It helps a lot of people,” Campbell said of the work the hospital is doing for its young patients and

Ryan Goins looks down at his wrist and touches a green and blue bracelet he is rarely seen without.

His smile is evidence he enjoys being asked about the plastic band, emblazoned with ‘Matthew the Brave’ in white lettering.

“I passed a bunch around to the team,” the Toronto Blue Jays second baseman and shortstop said of the bracelets he received from the Paravan family of Carlingwood, and wore all last season, including during the team’s American League Championship run.

“It’s kind of his motto, you know, just going through what he’s been going through,” Goins said inside CHEO’s fifth floor playroom on Jan. 22, just moments before reuniting with Matthew Paravan, 9, a CHEO patient for whom the bracelets are named.

Matthew, who suffers from seizures and an autoimmune condition that have confined him to a wheelchair and stolen his ability to speak, first met some of the Blue Jays players while undergoing treatment in Toronto.

Since then he has become friends with catcher Josh Thole, Jamie Campbell, host of Blue Jays Central, and Goins, who began wearing a Matthew bracelet after he saw Thole with one.

“And so Ryan has worn one every day since then,” said Matthew’s mom, Stephanie. “If you look at clips (from the American League Championship games), you can see the pictures of Ryan wearing his ‘Matthew the Brave’ bracelet.

“For Matthew and his brother it’s amazing,” she said.

While Matthew is non-verbal, the Blue Jays fan conveyed his excitement during the players’ recent visit using communication cards.

“That’s where stuff like this makes a huge difference,” Stephanie said, adding that it was wonderful to see Matthew so excited.

“It helps. It’s a boost (for the kids), which, in turn, boosts us, keeps us going.”

Making connections with kids like Matthew and other young patients who are facing extraordinary health challenges keeps things in

(needed to succeed),” he said.

Estrada, meanwhile, said he hopes he can inspire youth just as he found inspiration from his own childhood baseball heroes.

“I’m hoping to have somewhat of a same effect on them,” he said during the CHEO visit, but adding that brightening a young child’s day is equally rewarding.

“This is very meaningful,” the pitcher said. “I know they’re going through tough times and if I can, just for at least a couple minutes, put a smile on their faces, it’ll mean the world to me.”

perspective, said Goins.

He was joined during the visit by pitcher Marco Estrada, first baseman Justin Smoak, outfielder Kevin Pillar, and other team officials.

“It’s good to come back and see him again,” Goins said. “Whether I’m having a good day or bad day, I always look down at my wrist and know that there are people you still make happy no matter what happens.”

The afternoon visit was just one pit stop during the players’ two-day winter tour in Ottawa, which also included time spent at the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, an Ottawa Senators game and, on Jan. 23, an autograph session with fans at the St. Laurent Shopping Centre.

Ottawa athletes celebrate a successful 2015 at annual awards Many West Carleton athletes receive honours Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

There were plenty of camera flashes and smiles as athletes from almost every sport in the city accepted awards on Jan. 27 at Algonquin College at the annual Ottawa Sports Awards.

The top performer in each sport, ranging from athletics to wrestling to figure skating, were presented with a plaque at the banquet.

Not every athlete was present, as some – such as the female athlete of the year winner Melissa Bishop – are away, training or competing.

The runner won a silver medal in the 800-metre event at the 2015 world championships. “If you’re a runner or anybody in sport or chasing after dreams in general, I’d like to say continue on. Enjoy the ride,� said Bishop in a press release. “It’s not going to happen overnight. It took me almost 15 years to get here, so enjoy the ride.

The ups and downs will come, but I promise all the hard work is totally worth it.�

Stringers receive Spirit of Sport Award Continued from page 32

Gordon and Kathleen Stringer received a special award, the Spirit of Sport Award, which was presented for the first time at the banquet.

The Stringers’ daughter, Rowan, died when she was 17 years old after she sustained

a concussion playing rugby.

Her family has pushed to have Rowan’s Law introduced – to reduce the risk of multiple concussions amongst young athletes – following a coroner’s inquest into their daughters’ death.

“Our journey’s been an interesting one,” Gordon said.

“We have heard many things

along the way, most of it supportive. But we have had instances where people kind of marvel at the idea that we remain so supportive of sport.

“Tonight is a very good reflection of why there’s so much good in sport. Both of our daughters gained so much from their participation in sport. So it’s very easy for

us to remain sports supporters and advocate for what we think is the betterment of sport.”

MAJOR AWARDS

Nominees received major awards for contributions to sport and coaching. They are: • Agnes Laing, who won

the Mayor’s Cup for outstanding contribution to sport in Ottawa. Laing founded the NepeanCorona School of Gymnastics in 1972. Her daughter accepted the award on her behalf.

• Tobie Gorman won the Brian Kilrea Lifetime Achievement Award in Coaching award. The recently retired Ottawa Gymnastics Centre coach served as the gym’s women’s program director and

head coach for 25 years.

• Sheilagh McCaskill won the Lifetime Achievement Award for sports volunteer or administrator for her 38 years with the Gloucester Skating Club.

• Karen Butcher won the Lifetime Achievement Award for technical officials. Butcher has been a figure skating official for 39 years, and judged at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.

Shinny with the Big Boys another ‘classic’ event in Carp

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Shinny with the big boys - mostly former junior hockey players from the Ottawa region - was considered a success again this year at Carp’s outdoor hockey rink.

The following is a basic rundown of the Shinny with the Big Boys day at the Carp outdoor

rink Jan. 23.

Registration: In addition to online registration, there were some

walk-up registrations the morning of the event, which finished with a good number of kids.

Food bank donations: Food and cash donations combined are estimated to be in the range of $350.

Exhibition game: The ‘Outdoor Winter Classic’ theme was enhanced significantly by the event’s wonderful announcer, Stuntman Stu. The ‘Big Boys’ put on another exciting exhibition game, but no one had a clue who won, and there were very few fights.

Shinny: Shinny by its nature doesn’t have much structure, it just develops on the ice, and that’s exactly how it went down Saturday, Jan. 23.

Rado and the association’s communications director Jocelyn Everest Bellefeuille said they were reminded of this by the co-event director, Hylton Jorssen, who made sure things ran smoothly on the ice.

“So, thank you to everyone who contributed to, and participated in the second annual Shinny with the Big Boys event. It will be exciting to see where we can take things next year.”

R0013676017_0204

What does success look like?

“Perhaps it looks like an 11-year-old boy who on Friday evening (Jan. 22) got the remainder of the equipment he needed to participate in Shinny with the Big Boys in Carp, and then proceeded to lie awake half the night in anticipation,” said Huntley Community Association outdoor rink co-manager Will Rado.

“Perhaps it’s a local food access centre director who had trouble fitting all of the donations they received into her vehicle, and whose parting words were: ‘We’ll be back next year!’

“Perhaps it’s a change room in the outdoor rink that’s over 50 per cent full of donated hockey equipment from local members of the community, businesses and even the Ottawa Senators organization.

“Or perhaps it was the dozen or so hard working, committed volunteers, former pro and semi-pro hockey players, and various local and regional organizations that came together to ensure we had a terrific day of outdoor fun,”

Enjoy city’s outdoor rinks this Saturday As well as hosting the regular hockey league games in the morning, West Carleton’s outdoor rinks will be busy this Saturday afternoon.

Feb. 6 is Hockey Day in Ottawa, so from 1 to 3 p.m., residents are encouraged to lace up their skates and take to one of the city’s outdoor rinks for a afternoon of fun.

People are welcome to join together for games of pick-up hockey or just enjoy skating at the city outdoor rinks, including the eight in West Carleton.

The goal of the day is to promote physical fitness and show support for the community volunteers who work hard all winter to maintain local rinks.

Stellar start to race season for Calabogie skiers Anne Lefebvre

Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Calabogie’s alpine athletes, including several from the Arnprior and West Carleton areas, carved up the slopes in January, achieving some super results.

Each age group has several races under their belts so far this season.

The FIS skiers (ages 1516) have been travelling all over Ontario and Quebec, as their races are not limited to the National Capital/Outaouais Region.

Their most recent race was a Slalom Jan. 30 at MontGabriel, Quebec.

Alex Duff (Pembroke) has been steadily working his way up the ranks, and finished with a season-best silver medal. Nick Caves (Barrhaven) also showed marked improvement with an 11th-place finish.

Connor Maclean (Manotick) posted his first complete race result (52nd) on a course that defeated about half of the competition.

The U16 skiers have completed two Giant Slaloms and one Slalom race.

Highlights for the team include gold medals in GS at home in Calabogie Peaks Jan. 30 for Sam Duff (Pembroke) and Alexa Loudiadis (Ottawa).

Several of the racers have had top-10 finishes as well – notably Lauren Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) and Jack Alexander (Carp) with consistent results. Connor Allen (Manotick) and Sean Swayze (Braeside) are also closing in, with Connor attaining a ninth-place performance in Slalom and Sean speeding to 11th in GS. Alyssa Steggall (Stittsville) did the same in GS. Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie) rounded out the top part of the field with a 20th in Slalom, and Aiden Keuninckx (Perth) snagged 22nd in GS. Liam Maclean (Manotick) has been leaving it all out there, posting some personal best finishes on his first runs, but

crashing on his second.

Owen Barr (Carp), Jack Hamilton (Ottawa) and Eric Davidson (Burnstown) have had solid finishes in each of their races.

With five races in two weeks, the U14 contingent has been keeping very busy. They have two Slaloms, a Kinder Kombi (KK), a Panel Slalom (PSL) and a GS behind them thus far.

Wesley Matthews (Calabogie) posted a secondplace finish in the first Slalom, while Sam Alexander (Carp) ripped up both the KK and PSL to snag two firsts.

Meanwhile, Luke Hansen (Renfrew) sped to first place in the second Slalom.

Not far behind was Lucas Zohr (Eganville), surviving a tough course to hang on to fourth place. Ryan Geddie (Kanata), Aidan Maclean (Manotick) and Jack Carnahan (Ottawa) have been consistent finishers in all of the five races.

The girls have been steadily improving. Bailey Stonham (Arnprior) grabbed 21st in the Slalom.

The U12 team have competed in a Panel Slalom and a GS. Louise Stonham (Arnprior) and Carly Alexander (Carp) sped to 5th and 8th in the GS at Calabogie Peaks Jan. 23. On the boys’ side, Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) was the victor, and Noah Matthews (Calabogie) rounded out the top-10 with a 10th-place finish.

Tori Cotter (Ottawa) carved to 23rd in both the PSL and GS. Kate Keuninckx (Perth) jumped up to 35th in the GS, with Nicole Duff (Pembroke) close behind in 38th.

Finally, the littlest racers, the U10s, have had one race this season, a Slalom at Camp Fortune, Quebec.

Speedy Philip Lungu (Ottawa) came away with a silver medal. Finley Fletcher (Calabogie) and Jackson Kunstadt-Landon (Stittsville), both rookies in their debut race, sped to 10th

and 15th respectively.

Michael Atherton (Ottawa), Matthew Ivay (Ottawa), Ben Gerein (Carp) and Luke Gerein (Carp), also rookies, carved carefully around every gate to get two solid finishes.

Next up for Calabo-

gie’s determined ski racers is Mont Ste. Marie Speed Camp for the U16s and FIS racers Feb. 3-5, followed by a Super Combined (Slalom and Super G) doubleheader Feb. 6-7. The U14s don’t race again until their Speed Camp and Bill Hodgins Classic

races at Calabogie Peaks Feb. 17-21.

The U10s and U12s wrapped up a weekend in Quebec City at Defi Alpin de Le Relais Jan. 30-31, and will hit the slopes again Feb. DARREN MATTHEWS/SUBMITTED 6 (U10 at Vorlage) and Feb. Sam Alexander of Carp with his ski 7 (U12 at Calabogie Peaks). gold medal.

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

Q: I run a small business and I am currently in the process of looking for commercial space. Do I need a lawyer to review the lease?

A commercial lease is a complex legal document.

In addition to the usual but important commercial provisions such as the term of the lease and monthly rentals, there are numerous other commercial and legal provisions and terms that may significantly increase costs or may otherwise adversely affect your business.

Most commercial leases are not in a standard form and vary substantially from each other. This significantly complicates review by anyone other than the most experienced business person or professional advisor because even seemingly minor variations may have significant impact on costs or legal rights. A simple example is in respect of the leasehold improvements that a landlord builds for you at the commencement of the lease. You might expect, correctly, that those improvements belong to the landlord at the end of the lease. You might not expect that the lease may provide the Landlord with the option of requiring you to pay About Allan Snelling

His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

the cost of tearing out those improvements at the end of the term - yet some leases provide exactly that.

A Landlord has a legitimate interest in knowing who their tenant is, and thus many leases provide for restrictions on assignment. At the same time, you may wish to sell your business sometime in the future, and want to know that you can do so without being unfairly restricted by your landlord. In our experience, most landlords are willing to negotiate one-sided assignment restrictions to provisions that more fairly balance their concerns with your business objectives.

The commercial lease is often the first or second largest expense line after salaries and wages and accordingly requires careful consideration. A lawyer with experience in commercial leasing matters can review your lease and provide you with comments and advice enabling you to obtain a commercial leasing arrangement that meets your business’ needs.

Initiation fun day keeps hockey memories alive Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Two Kinburn players sponsored through the Jon Brunette Memorial Initiation Fun Day took part in the ceremonial puck drop to kick off this year’s event.

Lucas Ross has received financial help from the tournament for a number of years and this year his brother Jake is also a recipient.

“They play like Jon; they play hard and they’re leaders in the dressing room,” said their father Chuck Ross, who played Jr. B with Jon Brunette for the Arnprior Packers. “It’s all come full circle.”

Lucas, who plays centre for the Silver Seven, and his team have been undefeated for the past two years.

“It’s really fun to play,” he said about why he loves

hockey. “It’s a team sport.”

His younger brother, who plays defense, echoed those thoughts. “(It’s about) being able to trust my teammates and working as a team,” he said.

Val Brunette, mother of the late Jon Brunette, attends all the Ross boys’ games.

“She’s very supportive of minor hockey,” said Chuck.

TWELVE YEARS

Eight teams took part in the 12th annual Jon Brunette Memorial Initiation Fun Day, hosted by the West Carleton Minor Hockey Association, at the Carp Arena on Jan. 30.

The event has been ongoing since 2004, with the memorial fund helping to sponsor local hockey players.

‘Generations of families with trophies’ Continued from page 39

The tournament 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.

Chuck said he remembers Jon as a hardworking player on and off the ice.

“He was a little guy, but he played like he was 6-2,” he said.

In August 2007, the minor hockey community lost a long-time friend in Mal-

colm 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.

The initiation fun day now honours both their

memories.

Val said the continuation of the event year after year is wonderful to see.

“The West Carleton Minor Hockey Association have been terrific supporters,” she said. “Now I have generations of families with trophies.”

Request to ‘kill, harm and harass’ threatened species raises alarm Ministry extends comment period on ‘overall benefit’ permit request Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A request by Kanata Lakes North Development Group to be allowed to ‘kill, harm and harass’ a pair of threatened species as well as destroy Butternut tree habitat on its land has garnered attention in north Kanata.

The group, which aims to develop land located north of Kanata Lakes, west of Innovation Drive and bounded on the north and west by Terry Fox Drive, put in a request for an “overall benefit permit” to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry on Jan. 4.

The permit asks that the development group, known as KNL, be permitted to: • “remove up to 120 Butternut trees (currently listed as endangered) occurring on the 140 hectare site as well as damage and destroy

the habitat of these trees; • “kill, harm and harass Blanding’s Turtles (currently listed as a threatened species) as well as destroy up to 124 hectares of Blanding’s Turtle habitat; • “kill, harm and harass Least Bitterns (currently listed as a threatened species) as well as damage up to 10.9 hectares of Least Bittern habitat in order to construct a residential development in the City of Ottawa.”

While this drew alarm from residents and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, officials said at a public meeting that the request isn’t unusual. “It sounds like you’re actually killing off everything,” but the application is actually unremarkable, said the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry employee in charge of the file, Scott Lee. “Well if they weren’t

looking to impact on a species at risk, then they wouldn’t require a permit to allow them to do it from us,” he said.

However, what further alarmed residents like Mario Poirier, a member of the Ottawa Duck Club and wetland supporter, is that KNL’s application doesn’t say how it will achieve an overall benefit for the species they are impacting.

“What the (application) says is we are going to bother tree and endangered species. That’s it.

Yeah, we know that. We’ve known that for 20 years.

There is absolutely nothing new there. What we need to know is what they are going to do about it, and there is no information on that application that allows us to make any kind of informed decision,” he said.

The permit will only be given if the proponent can show that not only are the impacts on the threatened and endangered species minimized, but that there is an overall benefit for the

species, said Lee. However, instead of making any promises as to how it will achieve overall benefit, the KNL application suggests only what it might do.

Residents are free to send their comments on the proposal into the ministry, but Poirier said there is not enough information to make informed comments.

“That’s a bit disappointing,” he said. “I think we all spend a lot of time on these files, but obviously it’s not perceived that we have something of value to contribute to that process, so we go and check boxes instead.”

However, that’s the way the process is meant to work, said Lee. The request for an overall benefit permit is posted online as a summary (the original request is 100 pages or more) to alert residents that a request has been made and to ask them what they think.

It is only after the comment period that the minis-

try extracts promises from the proponent before a permit is given.

“What the public is seeing is exactly what was intended to be seen, which is the proposals in general, and then we work with the company and use the input that we get from this to help make some final decisions,” he said.

As for what “overall benefit” means – it’s different for each proposal, said Lee. It does not mean that there must be an overall benefit for the species on that particular site, he said. Rather, while impacts to the species on the site have to be minimized, achieving overall benefit can happen in many different ways, including some of the ways KNL has mentioned.

Those include collecting the seeds of Butternut trees that have shown a resistance to the Butternut canker disease, or supporting a research project to track and monitor movements of Blanding’s Turtles in remaining and/or created

habitat.

Those are some potential approaches KNL has mentioned in its application, and they may or may not be enough to achieve overall benefit, said Lee. That has yet to be determined.

And it will take another two weeks to get to that step as the ministry has extended the comment period for the application to Feb. 17.

This is because KNL has agreed to release its fulllength proposal to the public – something that usually stays private, said Lee. It should now be available to the public at the Beaverbrook Library, he said, although it will not contain specific promises as to how KNL intends to achieve overall benefit as it is only a much more indepth version of the online summary.

To see KNL’s summary proposal, go to ebr.gov. on.ca/ERS-WEB-External/ and search KNL. To make a comment, contact Lee at 613-258-8230.

University of Ottawa associate professor Andrew Pelling, founder of the Pelling Laboratory for Physical Manipulation, holds up a $1,000 piece of biomaterial in his right hand, and an apple slice containing human cells in the other. He and his researchers are working to prove that pieces of decellularized apple can be used just as well as biomaterial to help human bodies repair themselves, and for much less money.

The apple has been a source of inspiration for the human race for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Sir Isaac Newton is purported to have gleaned the effect of gravity from the falling fruit in the mid1600s.

Then there is, of course, original sin, and, more recently, Apple computers.

At a University of Ottawa science lab, artists and scientists have come up with a new innovation using the fruit.

By removing the cells from a slice of apple but leaving the cellulose “scaffolding,” achieved using a very simple technique, lab researchers were able to then implant human cells and grow them inside the framework of the apple.

“We just tried it, and the amazing thing was it worked right out of the gate,” said Andrew Pelling, the associate professor who runs the

Pelling Laboratory for Physical Manipulation.

The technique behind the whole thing is actually rather simple, he said. So much so that Pelling didn’t patent the technique. Instead he released the information on how to do it so that not just scientists, but anyone interested in doing it themselves could try.

He envisions the do-ityourself culture taking hold of the technique and changing the way people work with their own bodies in the future.

“Instead of somebody hacking together some project in a garage that’s electronic and then releasing it on the Internet, you can hack together in your garage a new organ for yourself and release the plans for that online,” he said of his vision.

FROM MEAT TO APPLE

Pelling and his students ended up developing their technique using an apple quite by accident. In fact,

they had been trying to do the same thing with discarded meat, getting rid of cells in the meat and growing another animal’s cells in the leftover structure.

“We were collaborating with butchers and using rotten meat and stuff that you would throw out; it’s garbage,” said Pelling. “You pull all the cells out of that tissue and flesh, and what you are left with is a protein scaffold just like the studs in a house.”

“Because we were realizing we could actually do some combinations of a mouse heart and put dog cells into it or whatever, (we thought) ‘Why can’t we use plants?’” an even cheaper material.

So the lab began experimenting with leaves, but it turned out they were too waxy for the decellularization process. That’s because the process for getting rid of the existing cells is to stir the material in soap and water, albeit for an extended period of time.

“Yeah, soap and water.

Crazy, crazy stuff,” Pelling said with a laugh.

See WE TRIED, page 49

‘We tried it, because that’s what we do here’ Continued from page 49

Though the technique wouldn’t work on a leaf, it turns out it works just fine on an apple – a fact that one of Pelling’s students, Daniel Modulevsky, stumbled upon after seeing another student eating an apple.

“So we tried it, because that’s what we do here. We just tried it,” said Pelling.

Reducing an apple slice to a cellulose scaffold, the Pelling lab members were able to place and grow human cells.

CURIOSITY

The discovery is at least partially a result of the lab’s philosophy of “unapologetic curiosity,” said Pelling.

Feeling too closed in by the vast majority of scientific grants that require a lab to solve a particular problem or invent a specific technology, Pelling secured discovery grant funding to start his own lab “founded on the principle of curiosity,” he said.

“I wanted to create a space where people could just ask questions and just collect the most creative and appropriate people around us to answer those questions,” said Pelling.

Those “appropriate people” include bio-artists – people who manipulate biology as an art form – who have at times been at the forefront of innovation, with science struggling to keep up, said Pelling.

In 2013, the “world’s first lab-grown burger” was eaten at an event in London, England – the result of years of scientific work.

An artistic laboratory called SymbioticA from the University of Western Australia did much the same thing – growing a slab of meat using pre-natal sheep cells.

But they did it years earlier – in 2000.

“These artists did basically the same thing, cooked it in a gallery and ate it, but because it was art I don’t think it was really well appreciated in the scientific world,” said Pelling.

“But then a group of scientists a decade later, a decade

which is forever, do the same thing and that’s what gets all the attention.

“Just imagine if the scientific community was a bit more plugged in a decade before, where they could be now. That’s the danger and I think short-sightedness of discounting all that art in your field or artists as if they couldn’t contribute. That’s just not true.”

In addition to including artists, the lab is also trying to do things differently by manipulating biology without the use of drugs, stem cells or genome manipulation. That sort of thing is too obvious, he said.

Instead, Pelling prefers physical biohacking.

“I love pulling apart electronics and building stupid and useless but fun and whimsical things, and it was in doing that that I kind of thought, ‘Well maybe we can do this with biology,’” he said.

While Pelling’s lab has yielded some fun and whimsical but not particularly useful things through this method, its human apple experiment has some very pertinent uses, he said.

HEALTH CARE COSTS

In an interview with Metroland Media, Pelling held up a small plastic container holding a thin piece of white material about the size of a toonie.

The material is used for helping people’s bodies repair themselves. By implanting the bio-material in a wound, human cells can invade it and grow more easily by using the material’s structure.

“This has a street value of like $1,000 US,” said Pelling.

“That’s to me, the researcher, not to the patient and to the health-care system and doctors.”

“If you really think about what this is and how it’s made, the profit here is not insignificant,” said Pelling.

But animal testing shows that his lab’s apple slices should be able to do the same job and for much cheaper, he said.

“The amazing thing was it worked right out of the gate,”

said Pelling. “We had to optimize a lot, but in the end, we can make this much material, the size of an apple, for less than a penny.”

The lab went on to do animal trials, implanting the cellulose scaffolding, and found that mammalian bodies don’t reject the material, but use it to grow mammalian tissue.

“It’s not 100-per-cent perfect,” said Pelling. “We need to do a bit more work to optimize, but for a first shot, holy crap!”

Now the lab is collaborating with clinicians and others to test out tangible uses for the new material, such as repairing bone or spinal chords.

Pelling lab researchers are also experimenting with carving the apples into ear shapes as a first step towards creating appendages or organs.

However, they currently are only capable of growing a single type of cell within the apple scaffolding.

But perhaps the most controversial thing the lab has done is make their work with the apples public knowledge so that regular people can try it themselves. Members of the lab have even begun a business to sell incubators to grow the human cells in the apple bits – the only really complicated part of the process.

Asked whether he considers the general public playing with implanting their own cells into fruits an ethical issue, Pelling said it definitely raises ethical questions, though he said he is more concerned with the ethics of rising health-care costs and how his lab is funded.

“This whole lab is publicly funded. The taxpayer paid for this work,” he said. “I don’t feel right about patenting something the public paid for and then profiting off it.

I’d rather see that go back into our communities and see what happens.”

“And then when you develop something that again is potentially something that can transform somebody’s life, should we be selling it to the highest bidder? Is that really the best option, or should we be opening it to the global community?”

50 West Carleton Review - Thursday, February 4, 2016

A dedicated group of Para Transpo users rallied at city hall on Jan. 27 to try and get some action on what they see as safety issues with the new buses.

The issues include steepness of ramps, an obstructed rear emergency exit, lack of leg room for ambulatory customers and tripping hazards.

The city started using two of the new buses as pilots in September 2014, but accessibility advocate and Para Transpo user Catherine Gardner said she told staff about the steepness of the ramp before the buses were even on the road.

“There were about six or eight of us at the public consultation held at the building on Belfast (Road),” she said, adding one of the buses were inside so that riders could take a look at the new wheels.

When Gardner tried to get on, she said the ramp was too steep and it would require a sidewalk to gain enough momentum to get onto the bus.

Troy Charter, assistant general manager in Transit Operations for OC Transpo, said they’ve heard back from many customers who appreciate the new mini buses, the low-floor design with the ramp, and the improved suspension.

“OC Transpo incorporated the feedback provided by customers and stakeholders in the design of these buses and they meet and exceed all legislated vehicle safety and accessibility requirements,” he said. “Para Transpo Operators are always there to assist customers with boarding and disembarking the minibus when using the ramp and are trained on how to do this properly and safely.”

Ryan Lythall, who is confined to a wheelchair and is a long-time user of Para Transpo, said the ride on the old buses was bumpy and would cause him pain. But even with that improvement, the ramp worries him.

“Some drivers are better able to help me up the ramp,” he said, adding him and his chair weigh several hundred pounds.

Lythall organized another rally for users in March 2015. At the time some of the concerns were around late arrivals of buses, inflexible hours and missed trips. While he said the city has added trips, there’s more work to do.

Charter said OC Transpo said staff undertook a … “three-phase customer and stakeholder approach” that looked for priorities and features to include in the request for proposal.

There are now 22 new minibuses in service, with the remaining 60 minibuses to arrive in a staggered approach by mid-2016. Charter said the original pilot mini buses will be retrofitted to incorporate the feedback received from customers and stakeholders provided during the pilot.

A group of Para Transpo users held a rally at city hall on Jan. 27.

Gardner said she was disappointed the Mayor and councillors didn’t take the time to talk with users during the rally.

“They knew we were going to be there,” she said, adding she plans to make a presentation to the city’s transit commission.

COLLECTION LETTERS

Besides safety issues, riders took issues with collection letters that were sent out this month, some with balances as low as $1.15, that could prevent customer from taking Para.

General manager of customer systems and planning, Pat Scrimgeour said 1,368 collection letters were sent out in January.

While some of the overdue amounts are quite high, Gardner said, there are some amounts that are quite small. After some investigation, she found her balance of a little more than $4 was from trips in May and November 2014.

“To wait a little more than two years to collect that? It’s ridiculous,” she said.

There are amounts that are more, in some cases in the hundreds, Gardner said.

She added there shouldn’t be a way for riders to accumulate that much in unpaid ride balances.

“Unless you’re coming home from the hospital, or some other emergency situation, you should be prepared to pay for your ride,” she said, adding regular OC Transpo users can’t get on the bus without the fare.

Users have asked the city to forgive debts under $10, but city staff have said that won’t happen.

“We know and care about all our Para Transpo customers and we work with them directly to provide their transportation needs.

Recovering money, regardless of the amount owed is a City audit & finance requirement like all services,” Scrimgeour said.

Lythall said the next steps will be to work with staff on a solution that will address users concerns, but he doesn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

“The older buses were 10 years old and did need to be replaced,” he said. “For a lot of people there is no other option.”

Dunrobin Family Chiropractic is hands-on healing “The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease" - Thomas Edison Dunrobin Family Chiropractic is dedicated to helping West Carleton residents lead healthy lives. Since opening in April 2012 at Dunrobin Plaza, 2808 Dunrobin Road, Dr. Kelly Graham has helped her patients improve health, reduce pain and increase mobility.

A ‘local girl’ who was in the first graduating class at West Carleton Secondary School, she went on to earn an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Human Kinetics and was planning to attend medical school to become an orthopedic surgeon.

Chronic ear infections and a sports injury at university changed the course of her life.

“I played for the women’s varsity rugby team and injured my back. I tried several therapies which did not help. I was not interested in only masking my back pain with drugs and I did not want any more antibiotics. I was discouraged and frustrated when thankfully, a friend of mine suggested that I try chiropractic.”

“I was really skeptical and extremely nervous, but I soon experienced relief and improvements in my well-being beyond what I thought was possible. I was eager to volunteer and learn at the local chiropractor’s office.”

“That back injury proved to be one of the best things that happened to me! I soon decided that a natural and hands on healing approach that encompasses overall well-being was the best suited career for me. My path completely changed directions and before I knew it I was accepted to Chiropractic School.”

With 16 years of practice and thousands of successful cases to her credit, Dr. Graham opened her own clinic to be able to provide healing hands in her community.

“I am very confident and passionate about the chiropractic contribution to optimal health.

Choosing chiropractic has been a miracle for me and the chiropractic lifestyle is very natural for me- I have always known that health comes from within- and not from a pill or vaccine, and the better we treat our bodies, the better our bodies work.”

“I wanted to make an impact on our community. It is a dream come true for me to serve my very own community. I knew that we could empower families through chiropractic and leadership to live healthier lifestyles which would result in vibrantly healthy and fulfilling lives.”

Her patients agree. In fact, Dunrobin Family Chiropractic won a Platinum award in the Chiropractor & Physiotherapist category of the Readers’ Choice awards.

“Thank you to all of our wonderful practice members and friends that have voted for us.

We are committed to you and your family’s journey towards optimal health."

“We are a family chiropractic office. We focus on the family including pregnancy and prenatal care, infants, children and teenagers too. Whether nine days old or 90 years old, Dunrobin Family Chiropractic patients get healthy and stay healthy with regular chiropractic care.

Chiropractic adjustments help to keep your nervous system functioning optimally. That’s essential because your nervous system controls every single cell and system in your body.”

“Everyone in my family is adjusted on a weekly basis to keep our bodies healthy physically, mentally and emotionally. We feel having your kids adjusted is imperative to their health.

And if you’re worried about adjusting the little ones, you can relax… adjusting a baby uses just fingertip pressure.”

Ultimately, Dunrobin Family Chiropractic is committed to this community.

“We feel extremely fortunate to be able to serve. Helping others is a gift and I am very proud to be a chiropractor. We focus on family health. When your nervous system is released to fully function as it was designed, you’ll feel better, you’ll sleep better, and you’ll move better. You’ll start acting more alive, because you will be.”

Ottawa Duck Club turns 50 Group estimates more than 50,000 birds born due to their efforts Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

One of Ottawa’s oldest conservation groups is celebrating 50 years of supporting vulnerable birds in some of the city’s large wilderness areas.

The Ottawa Duck Club, which was founded on Jan. 24, 1966, grew out of a sportsmen’s group that became concerned about disturbances to the environment around Ottawa and its impacts on migrating and nesting waterfowl.

With Murray Boegel as the group’s first president, the club obtained a longterm agreement to work in the Shirley’s Bay Crown Game Preserve – about 1,050 hectares of “pristine wilderness” located north of the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre, said Ottawa Duck Club

board member and Kanata resident Mario Poirier.

The group’s primary operations focus on providing nesting boxes for wood ducks and hooded mergansers, while they also help buffleheads, eastern bluebirds, American kestrels, eastern screech-owls and purple martins.

Nesting boxes are particularly important for the two primary species as they are the only local species that nest in tree cavities.

Whereas many bird species suffer from a loss of habitat, cavities for these species are even harder to find as humans remove dead or dying trees and broken limbs, said Poirier.

“By installing nest boxes in the hundreds, our organization contributes to the survival of these species in our region,” he said.

With a network of more

than 300 nest boxes in three main locations across the city, about 250 of those are located in the Shirley’s Bay Crown Game Preserve,” said Poirier.

“For the Ottawa Duck Club, this is home,” he said.

“This is where most of our activities are located.”

To most people, the area is a mystery, said Poirier.

“People just drive around on the edge. They see a lot of woods and marsh, but they have no clue that we have 2,000 acres of this and it’s full of all kind of things,” he said.

What many do not realise is that there are 150 species of birds that reproduce there, and 2010 species of birds that either reproduce or use the area as a migration stopover.

For Poirier, a lover of wetlands, finding out that the duck club had access to work in the Shirley’s Bay Crown Game Preserve is what got him started with the club nearly seven years ago.

The club is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. ver Pond Arboretum located on the northern edge of Kanata Lakes.

After development gets underway and slows north of the Beaver Pond, the club hopes to add nest boxes in that area as well.

The group is also planning to install nesting boxes

for barn swallows and perhaps bat boxes as well, said Poirier.

Now, the club’s working season is just getting started, as ice is required to access many of the areas they work in.

“That means that five minutes drive from where I live, I have 2,000 acres of wetland to enjoy and to help and to do some conservation work in,” he said.

The duck club estimates that, from their nest box efforts, about 50,000 birds have been born that otherwise would not have.

“These species were in real bad shape when the club started 50 years ago,” said Poirier.

“Now-a-days, people around the area have noticed that there is an increase in the population of the birds we take care of, even if they cannot actually get to the nesting site because it’s a restricted area,” he said.

The club celebrated its 50th anniversary with a party on Jan. 23, and is looking into holding a public event later in the year.

Coincidentally, the club has about 50 members currently with an active core of 10 members, some of which have taken on other initiatives like caring for the Bea-

Board scales back proposed child care rate increases Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa public school trustees voted to scale back a proposed rate hike for before- and after-school care during the board meeting on Jan. 26.

As part of the early learning initiative by the provincial government, schools were told to offer extended day programming in addition to all day kindergarten, unless programming was already available through a third party.

That was great news for parents, but a logistical

problem for the board, since the program is losing money.

The before and after school program has a deficit of $1.7 million. In addition, the board needs to cut another $11.9 million to deal with overspending in instruction, special education, transportation and facilities, according to a report from staff in the Jan. 11 committee of the whole minutes.

That means the 2016-2017 school year will start with a plan to reduce $14.4 million in spending – thanks in part to a provincial requirement that the board have $4 million in reserves for the 2017-

2018 year.

The decision at the committee of the whole meeting to raise the childcare rate by up to $29 per day would have meant that parents who only use a few sessions per week, rather than the full 10 sessions, could pay up to 32 per cent more. That would be an increase from $22 to $29 per day.

One of the reasons the program has issues with cost recovery is because while parents can pay per day, the program has to be staffed as if it was being used full time – Monday to Friday, both before school and after

school.

But some trustees balked at the rate increase – worrying about the impact on parents and called for staff to look at other ways of finding the money.

The compromise was an option “B.” It was a motion introduced by trustee Shawn Menard, whose zone corresponds with the RideauVanier Ward.

The alternative would mean $27 per day for anyone using less than nine sessions per week. Nine sessions would be $25 and full time would be $22.50.

Menard said he thinks the role that Trustees play is very important. “…that means digging into the numbers and representing our communities,” he wrote in an email. “After getting more information, the board passed an amend-

ment which will see fees go up less than what was originally proposed and will receive a report in May of 2016 that will help with future accounting of the EDP.” Donna Blackburn, trustee for the area that corresponds with the Barrhaven and Knoxdale-Merivale wards has said publicly – under risk of censure – that her colleagues need to deal with the deficit.

She expressed frustration that the board would “flip flop” after agreeing to Option “A,” the original rate increase structure.

She said she understands parents might be relieved now, she wonders how they’ll feel if programs or services have to be cut to make up the difference.

“The kids in the program still need access to things like social workers and psy-

chologists,” she said.

Board chair Shirley Seward wrote in an email that the board had two options to consider, and after more information, decided to go with the second option.

“This option will go a long way towards resolving the financial challenges of the Extended Day Program, but does not generate quite as much revenue for the school district,” she said.

“The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board runs an exceptional childcare program and has made every effort to ensure the program is accessible to as many families as possible, is affordable and offers quality programming. We can be very proud of our work and this most recent motion goes a long way to ensuring the financial stability of the program.”

Puppies like Duke need foster homes to learn to become guide dogs Meet Duke. Duke is a yellow Labrador retriever.

He might be a cute little bundle of fluff, but this yellow Lab will, hopefully, one day become the eyes for a Canadian who is blind or visually impaired.

Duke was born into the breeding program of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, with the intention of one day becoming a guide dog.

It takes about two years for a puppy like Duke to become a guide dog. At about eight weeks of age, pups are placed into the homes of volunteers, who raise the puppy in their home, teaching basic obedience and socialization.

The pups require homes to learn what it takes to be a ‘good dog’ before entering into formal training to become a guide dog or assistance dog for someone in need.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is currently seeking loving homes for a long-term volunteer commitment of 1218 months. All food and veterinary expenses are provided. Puppies will be ready for placement in the next several weeks.

Volunteers need to be able to spend most of the day with the puppy, not leaving it alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. These pups are raised with the intention of being with someone 24/7 as a working guide dog.

Pups are placed into homes at about eight weeks of age, so you’ll be housebound for a short time.

The pup is kept mostly in the house until it has received vaccinations at sixteen weeks of age. After that, you are asked to take the puppy anywhere you go and introduce it to as many environments and situations as possible, which it may later encounter as a guide dog.

You are expected to take the pup for daily long walks in all weather conditions.

The idea behind the voluntary role is to teach basic obedience and socialization.

Support is provided from professional staff from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, including training and obedience classes.

This is a unique volunteer

Would you be a suitable candidate for a volunteer position like this? The main thing is that the pup not be left at home alone all day.

Current volunteers include stay-at-home parents, postsecondary students, individuals who work from home or have their own business, parttime workers, or retirees. In fact, some gain permission from their employer to take the dog to work on a daily basis.

The organization is seeking volunteers who are committed, love animals, want to learn, and are able to work on a schedule with the puppy.

When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, you must be pre-

pared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to work as a guide dog.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has information sessions scheduled for Feb. 5, Feb. 19 and March 3.

To learn more about the Puppy Walking Program or sign up for an information session, contact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at 613-692-7777 or email info@ guidedogs.ca.

“We’re always seeking volunteers, but right now we’re a little desperate,” says Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind spokesman Steven Doucette.

“It is difficult to find people to take a puppy in the winter, but even if you don’t like winter, this is a good time. Until the pup has all of its shots, you are mostly inside with the pup for the first eight weeks.

So, if you start now the bulk of the outings will actually be-

As for Duke, he is currently residing and learning to be a good dog at the home of a volunteer in Stittsville. Later, he’ll return to Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind for formal training, at the National Training Centre in Ottawa.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided more than 780 professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind also operates an Assistance Dogs Division, which trains assistance dogs for individuals in the local area with mobility-related disabilities.

Local employers in the non-profit, public, and small business sectors can now apply for the Canada Summer Jobs 2016 program.

The program helps employers to create valuable summer job opportunities for students, while strengthening local economies and communities.

Mary’s prayer answered with Uncle Lou’s generous gift Well it can’t get much worse, Mother said, as she put a fresh bandage on Emerson’s wrist where he had slashed it with his pocket knife when he was making a new sling shot.

It had been a bad week.

All our heads had to have the coal oil treatment after Miss Crosby found someone had head lice at the Northcote School, a fox had made off with a couple of our best hens in broad daylight, Earl lost a gum rubber in the Bonnechere River when he was ice fishing, he was getting a cold, and this was the week my cherished sister Audrey would be getting ready to leave the Northcote School to do housework in Renfrew.

“It never rains but it pours,” Mother said with a heavy sigh.

None of the misfortunes compared with the grief I felt over Audrey going off to work to live away from our family on the farm, leaving school before she even had a chance to finish the Entrance Class.

Yes, a bad week indeed.

The Depression had closed in on us. There were bills to pay. Always there was enough food for the table, but no money for other essentials like coal oil, flour, sugar, a piece of harness that had to be replaced, cough medicine and other necessities, causing Mother and Father to run up bills at ‘Briscoes’, and the drug and hardware stores.

The few dollars Father and

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Everett made in the bush on Saturdays did little to help.

In my anguish over losing my sister, I had even untied the corner of my hanky from my washstand to add a few pennies to the pot, but I could only come up with 17 cents.

What Audrey earned and turned over to Mother and Father would be what Mother called a lifesaver. Audrey’s clothes, and a scant wardrobe it was indeed, had been washed and ironed, and sat in neat piles on the trunk in the upstairs hall. Her shoes had been polished. She would be ready to go off in a week.

None of my prayers seemed to be working.

Just after breakfast that morning the phone rang.

Mother was well known for her sticky buns and someone wanted to know if she could make a few dozen for a dinner the Oddfellows were holding.

And yes, they would be glad to pay whatever she was asking, and could she have them in to Renfrew by Saturday?

If she made four dozen buns that would mean an extra two dollars! Two dollars badly needed.

Our good fortune wasn’t to

end there. Everett came home from school with a ‘cheque’ from the School Board for three dollars, his pay for going to the school every morning in the winter to start the fire and clean out the ashes.

Without a word, he handed the cheque over to Mother. It still wasn’t enough to cover the bills, but it was a help.

After supper, more preparations were made for Audrey’s move into Renfrew; lisle stockings mended, new elastic put in her underwear.

I sat well away, silently crying behind my library book, pretending to read.

The week was going far too quickly to suit me. The next day, coming home from school, I plucked the mail out of the box at the end of our long lane.

There were two letters, and I recognized the writing immediately. One was from Uncle Lou in New York, who wrote Mother regularly, and one from Aunt Freda in Chicago, who wrote only when she had something important to say.

Mother sat at the end of the table looking like she was glad to take a break from working away at getting Audrey ready for her big move from home.

She opened Uncle Lou’s letter first, and out fell a $100 bill! I had never seen a $100 bill in my entire life. Uncle Lou, in his letter, said he had just landed the job of doing some work on the Empire

State Building and wanted to share his good fortune with his sister.

Mother, of course, broke into tears and I felt obliged to do the same.

With little interest, Mother got around to opening Aunt Freda’s letter and inside, right before our eyes, was a crisp $5 bill, with instructions that Mother was to go to Ritza’s Drug Store and buy a packet of valentines for the children to take to the Northcote School. I knew it would never see Ritza’s Drug Store.

I was sent to the barn to fetch Father. By the time he came into the kitchen, Mother had all the money laid out in a row on the table. I had no idea why we were all crying when there was so much joy in the air!

Finally Mother told Audrey to go upstairs and put her clothes back in her washstand, and said she would be phoning Renfrew that night to tell them my sister would not be quitting school after all.

I ran my hand over the money on the table. “It never rains but it pours, eh, Mother?” was all I could think to say.

A new Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) program is matching older felines with senior adopters to help find homes for cats faster while giving their new human caretakers the companionship of a furry friend.

The Cats for Seniors program brings together people 60-plus and felines age five and up. Humane society staff match the cats in need with their new families for half the usual fee.

“These cats are often overlooked in favour of kittens, so they tend to be here longer. The longer these cats stay in the shelter and not in a forever home, the greater their stress and risk of getting sick,” said OHS executive director Bruce Roney.

“Cats for Seniors gets them

out of here faster and into loving homes where they belong. It’s a wonderful happily ever after for everyone involved.”

The OHS launched Cats for Seniors at its Seniors Day event on Jan. 21.

Cats for Seniors has been in the works for a while because of the impact it will have on both senior and animal lives, Roney said.

“We’re always looking for ways to do more for the animals and for our community. This fulfills both goals,” he said.

“Nothing compares to the love and companionship of an animal.

And for an animal, there’s nothing like a loving forever home.”

NCC rescinds approval for Supreme Council approves Court site of communism memorial demolition, relocation of Bradley Craig barn Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The National Capital Commission has rescinded their approval of the planned site for the controversial memorial for victims of communism.

The NCC’s board of directors rescinded the approval during their board meeting on Jan. 20 in favour of public consultation on a relocation to the Garden of Provinces and Territories – further west on Wellington Street than the original planned location.

The planned memorial was controversial because of its placement on land to the south west of the Supreme Court of Canada on Wellington Street. There were also concerns about its size and scale.

Mark Kristmanson, the board’s chief executive officer called the project difficult and divisive.

Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly has also spoken publicly against the memorial’s size and planned location on Wellington Street.

In November, Joly called the project a priority for her depart-

Half of the funding for the memorial will come from the federal government, which will cap its funding at $1.5 million. The federal funds will be matched by the group Tribute to Liberty, which is leading the project.

Last month the Department an-

nounced the memorial will be moving.

Decontamination of the 5,000 square meter original site was supposed to begin in November. It was supposed to mark the beginning of the decontamination of the site, but was halted pending design approval.

Board member Michael Pankiw said he would like to see it cleaned up.

“I have to speak against this motion because of the number of contaminated sites in the capital,” he said. “There were specific questions about the decontamination in June.”

Stephen Willis, executive director of capital planning for the NCC, said the site does not need to be remediated if it remains parkland.

While a future Federal Court of Canada headquarters building is on the horizon, Willis said decontamination on the site can wait until planning for the new building starts.

Canadian Heritage will have to submit a land use proposal for the memorial to the board in April.

‘Disappointing loss’ for city’s heritage: councillor Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum, chair of the city’s built heritage sub-committee, has called the approval to demolish and relocate a Stittsville dairy barn a “disappointing loss” to the city’s built heritage.

The Bradley Craig Barn sits on Hazeldean Road, in the middle of land owned by Richcraft.

Richcraft bought the land at 590 Hazeldean Rd. in 2006 – but the city designated 1.6 hectares of the farm property, the house and the barn as heritage and protected under provincial legislation in 2010.

The developer plans to build a subdivision in the Fernbank community, south of Hazeldean and west of Terry Fox Drive, with a school site and 748 residential units.

City staff advised against the Richcraft proposal to dismantle the barn and move it 20 kilometres

away to Saunders Farm in Munster, where it would be preserved.

Planning committee approved the move, despite staff recommendations, with the caveat that it be moved in the next two years.

The wording of the motion that allowed for the move says incorporating the barn into the development would be costly. It goes on to say that Richcraft is not willing to foot the bill to incorporate the barn – meaning it could sit vacant for some time.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri has supported the move – despite strong opposition from residents – saying that he worried about the developer properly maintaining the barn.

The council motion also mentions how the barn could get lost in the complex.

“The future development of the site will diminish the ‘landmark’ significance of the barn as the completed commercial development of the site will greatly reduce the sightlines and provide a very limited view of the barn from Hazeldean Road,” the motion reads.

Couns. Jeff Leiper, Catherine McKenney and Nussbaum dissented on the council decision.

In Nussbaum’s blog he describes the importance the barn had to the city’s rural heritage.

The Bradley Craig Barn was the only one to receive heritage designation outside of the Central Experimental Farm.

At the planning committee meeting that preceded council, 15 delegations spoke in favour of keeping the barn in its original location.

David Jeanes, president of Heritage Ottawa, called the Saunders Farm a “heritage zoo,” at planning committee on Jan. 26.

In a statement released after the Dec. 10 Built Heritage sub-committee decision, Saunders Farm owner Mark Saunders said he toured the barn in June and was “impressed by its construction and beauty.”

“We also noted signs that it was deteriorating,” the statement reads.

Saunders said the barn would be used for functions like weddings after the move. visit us at

Every Wednesday, the choir practices at a senior’s residence where they have a rapt following that are clapping and cheering on the chorus. Melodies from the Maritimes and across Canada as well as well-known Broadway numbers have the residents tapping their toes.

One of the chorus members just might do a little tap dancing too.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A burst of optimism has you moving toward a new goal, Aries. This positive frame of mind can propel you to the finish line quickly, but make each decision carefully.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, new revelations may inspire you to make some long-desired changes. Write down all of your plans so you can see them on paper and weigh all of your priorities.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 An old friend you haven’t seen in a while may suddenly reappear in your life, Gemini. This person may take you on a fun trip down memory lane.

Enjoy the laughs.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Expect a change of circumstances at work, Cancer. This change may come by way of a transfer or a promotion, or it might be something less significant. Embrace it in any case.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 A close friend of yours may suggest a last-minute trip, and you just may be game for an adventure, Leo. Pack all of your essentials and do not think too much, or you might back out.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a financial windfall may seem like a great thing on the surface, but it doesn’t come without a price. Resolve to be responsible with your newfound largesse.
