Carp Farmers’ Market drops Herbfest Event eyes move to McNab-Braeside Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Multiple 911 callers reported the fire and responding fire crews could see smoke before arriving on scene around 4:40 p.m.

It appears Herbfest won’t be coming to the Carp Farmers’ Market after all.

Market manager Ennio Marcantonio confirmed the deal was off after it was announced the event may move to McNab-Braeside.

“Unfortunately we weren’t able to make a deal with the Herb Garden,” Marcantonio said on March 4. “It just wasn’t going to work out for us. We didn’t think it was a good deal.”

When asked for specifics about why the deal didn’t work, he didn’t answer.

“I can’t comment on that right now,” said Marcantonio. “We just didn’t pursue it.”

He said he hadn’t heard about the event moving to McNab-Braeside, but added the Carp Farmers’ Market is “still committed to hosting our own event this summer.”

Firefighters battle a house fire at 117 Gypsy Lane, located near Old Hwy 17 and the Mississippi River, on March 6. The fire began in the garage of the single family home and quickly spread to the rest of the house, causing an estimated $400,000 in damages.

Three people escaped a house fire at 117 Gypsy Lane during the

afternoon of Sunday, March 6.

The fire, which began in the garage of the single family home, quickly spread to the rest of the house as well as two vehicles

parked outside, said Ottawa fire spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal.

“Everyone was safely outside when our crews arrived,” she said, adding there were no injuries.

‘There’s so many things that need to be fixed’ WOCRC, family health team lead brainstorming sessions on caregivers, seniors health initiatives Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The first meeting to investigate what’s needed for West Carleton caregivers and seniors to age in place outlined a number of gaps and barriers residents face when trying to access services in rural communities.

High costs for transportation, a Meals on Wheels program that differs widely from what’s available in the city, and a lack a communication between partners and agencies were just some of the issues discussed.

“There’s so many things that need to be fixed,” said Dr. Barry Bruce co-founder of the West Carleton Family Health Team and former chief-ofstaff of the Queensway-Carleton Hospital.

“We’ve had a lot of socalled health experts tell you what you need; we need you to tell us what you need. We need to be inventive and creative.”

More than a dozen residents and community leaders turned out for the first of three public consultations, held March 2 in Fitzroy Harbour.

“I’m very concerned about seniors in West Carleton and the aging population,” said Adele Muldoon. “I’m looking forward to programs for helping people age in place.

(This meeting) it’s a first-stage, the beginning. It shows there’s many people concerned.”

All of the feedback will be extremely helpful in creating programs to address deficiencies residents face when aging in rural areas, said Julie McKercher, rural community developer at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

The resource centre has partnered with the West Carleton Family Health Team

and the Rural Ontario Institute to engage caregivers and older adults on what is needed to age in place.

“We’re not interested in failure, we’re interested in you,” said McKercher. “We want to know what the communities need. You are the experts.”

ROAD BLOCKS

For one caregiver, who asked to not be identified, it was an opportunity to air a number of grievances.

She has been taking care of an elderly neighbour with dementia.

After a stay in the Arnprior hospital, the hospital sent the elderly woman home via a volunteer driver without setting up further care for the woman.

She was so weak the driver had to carry her into her house, said the caregiver.

And getting back to Arnprior for appointments, prescriptions or to go to the bank is an expensive nightmare.

“Round-trip in a taxi to Arnprior is $100,” said the caregiver. “We couldn’t get a volunteer driver and it’s almost impossible to book Para Transpo.”

When the caregiver tried to set up Meals on Wheels, she had to turn it down because the program differs wildly from the city’s urban version.

Meals on Wheels delivers a month’s worth of frozen meals to rural residents, said the caregiver. The elderly woman didn’t have the freezer space available to accommodate the meals. In the city, hot meals are delivered daily.

“This is just one layer of what one person has been through,” said the caregiver.

“There were road blocks at every turn.”

NOTHING OFF THE TABLE

Residents, community leaders and staff from the WOCRC brainstormed about the issues facing seniors and caregivers, what other organizations should be involved in creating solutions, and identifying spaces that could be used for programming during a workshop portion of the

meeting.

Nothing is off the table, no matter how wild the idea, said McKercher.

“From housing to hospice, I don’t care – throw it on the table; anything you can think of that West Carleton is lacking,” she said. “This is a continuing conversation. I can’t reiterate enough how important your involvement is.”

Ideas put forward for helping caregivers included adding an adult day program for the West Carleton area, creating a caregiver support group, and developing a care package with additional support contacts.

For seniors to age in place, some ideas tossed around included: • easier access to transportation, which could include using Uber or creating an Uber-like ride-sharing program; • cooking classes; • social groups that match seniors’ needs with people who can provide care; • a program to address loneliness; • personal support workers who have a more generalist approach to care instead of requiring a number of trained specialists; • home doctor visits.

MEETINGS

The next public meetings take place: • March 12, from 1-4 p.m. at the West Carleton Community Complex, 5670 Carp Rd. • April 16, time to be determined, at St. James Anglican Church, 3774 Carp Rd. • May 6 and 7, time and place to be determined, for an open space community wrapup.

McKercher promised there would be real results and programming by the end of this year for seniors and caregivers.

The WOCRC will provide transportation to meetings for those in need. Sessions are free but space is limited and registration is required. For more information and to register for public sessions, contact McKercher at 613-591-3686, ext.

498 or mckercher@wocrc.ca.

RURAL RESPONSE

Keeping driveways clear of snow in the winter is crucial for responding emergency vehicles. Although no one expects to have to call 911, emergencies happen, said Cardinal.

“What we’re seeing with rural fires, people sometimes don’t clear their laneway wider than their own vehicles,” she said.

This makes it more difficult for emergency vehicles to get close to a house and for crews to set up.

“We want to make sure

Ottawa’s fire department has a new spokesperson.

Capt. Danielle Cardinal is the first woman and nonfirefighter to fill the public role, serving as the public voice of the department’s 1,500 employees, including about 900 career firefighters and approximately 400 volunteer firefighters, which make it the largest composite fire department in North America.

“It’s not something I take lightly,” Cardinal said of her new responsibility.

Her second day on the job, Feb. 17, put some of her previous communications experience to the test as a host of Ottawa media outlets sought breaking news about the department’s high-angle rope rescue of a woman who had fallen into the Rideau Canal lock near Parliament Hill.

Cardinal is no stranger to emergency situations, having helped women giving birth or coaching callers through the Heimlich manoeuvre, among a host of other life-saving scenarios, in her previous role as an Ottawa 911 dispatcher.

The bilingual native of Sudbury began working for the city in 1997 in customer service, followed by a similar role with Paratranspo during the 1998 ice storm. She also worked at the city’s

311 information service during the 2003 electrical blackout, and in 2009 at Ottawa Public Health’s H191 vaccine clinics.

“Whatever role I was in I seemed to be put in positions for emergency situations,” Cardinal said. “Those challenges were pretty intense, but it was a good learning experience for me.”

She had just touched down in New Zealand just hours before the 2011 Christchurch earthquake hit. Though on vacation, she rolled up her sleeves and spent two weeks pitching in where she could to help those in need.

“You can see now why we’re very confident in our choice,” said Ottawa Fire Chief Gerry Pingitore. “That’s certainly something we look for, that willingness to give back to your community, help perfect strangers.”

lanes are being cleared so we can access them,” she said.

Another factor that can add crucial minutes to response times is improperly marked house lots.

Address markers buried in snow, knocked over or missing can make it hard for emergency responders to locate a home.

Having the house number visible “makes responses a bit quicker,” said Cardinal.

Cardinal added she wanted to thank the people who call 911, and stay on the line and at the scene to assist emergency responders.

“It’s a help us help you situation,” she said. “It’s a big help.”

Inaugural book sale a success for food access centre Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

An inaugural book sale to benefit the West Carleton Food Access Centre was a huge success after raising more than $1,400 for the centre.

“It’s been amazing,” said volunteer Pam Ross at the close of the first day.

“We’re so pleased with it.”

Included in the final tally was a donation from the “Shinny with the Big Boys” event held earlier this year, as well as funds raised through ticket sales for a quilt raffle.

Held March 4 and 5 in Carp, the event brought in more than 4,000 donated books of all of genres.

One couple purchased 80 books after dropping off a sizable donation of their own reads, Ross said.

At $1 a soft cover and $3 for hard covers, most

people spent an average of $20 to $25.

“Thank you to all our volunteers, shoppers and especially the people who donated their books,” said Ross.

The funds raised will help the food access centre purchase grocery items for those in need, said Ross.

Unsold books were distributed to local hospitals, seniors residences, charities and businesses, as well as other ongoing fundraising events in the Carp, Almonte and Arnprior area, said Ross. A full load of books were also sent to a rural school with 40 students in the Lanark Highlands area.

Ross said following the success of the first year, she believes the book sale will become an annual event for the food access centre.

Potholes are a result of the freeze-thaw weather cycles that cause our road surfaces to deteriorate.

During the thaw, water seeps into the crevices of the road. Fluctuations in temperature, vibrations and traffic volumes all create stress on the asphalt road surface, which causes potholes.

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton

Thank you to the dedicated group of volunteers of the Kanata Seniors Council on advocating for seniors in our community. I had the privilege of celebrating the council’s 20th anniversary on Thursday. Congratulations on the success!

School Visit – Holy Trinity Visiting schools is one of the most enjoyable activities I have the chance to take part in. This week I participated in the civics class at Holy Trinity High School and was extremely impressed by the calibre of the questions. We had the chance to discuss Parliament Hill, Question Period, and climate change. Our youth are extremely engaged and interested in asking the tough questions that must be answered for us to be able to leave a better future for the next generation.

25th Anniversary of the Liberation of Kuwait I had the opportunity to represent Minister Kent Hehr at the War Museum for the 25th anniversary of the Liberation of Kuwait during the First Gulf War. Canada played an important role in Operation Friction which was a thirty-five nation coalition.

This event allowed me to express my respect and gratitude to the thousands of veterans and their families for their sacrifice and commitment to our country. It is always an honour to be able to listen and engage with veterans across our community and Canada. For more information I encourage you to visit: http://goo.gl/d3cYli

The area riding’s member of Parliament was yelled at in the House of Commons for the top she wore on Feb. 19.

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon did not wear red on a Friday, which she normally does, resulting in a verbal attack by a Conservative member. A campaign in support of military families, started in the Ottawa region, sees many people across Canada wear a red shirt every Friday.

McCrimmon did two tours of Afghanistan, is the first female navigator and first female commander of an air squadron.

The criticism was raised by Cheryl Gallant, the MP for neighbouring Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

McCrimmon shot back in the house: “Mr. Speaker, I am (from) a military family. Using cheap political rhetoric to score points on the backs of military families is way below the dignity deserving of this House. That is absolutely unacceptable.”

She explained that she was splashed yesterday; that the

Karen McCrimmon gray suit she normally wears with a red shirt was unsuitable to be worn that morning.

“Sometimes those kinds of things just happen,” she said.

McCrimmon declined to discuss the issue further this week.

Gallant did not respond to requests for an interview.

Gallant is also under fire for a recent political fundraising campaign.

On March 2 the MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke sent out an email with the subject line “Terrorists in our midst” all in capital letters. The text didn’t explain the whereabouts or even the existence of the terrorists.

But that isn’t what has many

members of the military so upset. Rather it is Gallant’s use of a photo of Nathan Cirillo, the corporal murdered while standing guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in 2014.

The email says the immigration minister is fast-tracking refugees and revoking a law that strips Canadian citizenship from convicted terrorists.

Gallant, who always erroneously writes Liberal with a lowercased ‘l’ asked, “Is the liberal party afraid of alienating tens of thousands of new voters with the threat of deportation if any are convicted of terrorist activity?”

At the end is a link to a site where people can donate to the local Conservative riding association in exchange for a ham.

“I don’t appreciate the fact that the image of my fallen brother is being used as a sales pitch for Easter hams,” said Jeff Lehoux, a retired military member and former Liberal candidate in the riding.

“It looks like the Conservatives didn¹t learn anything from the last election. The politics of cynicism and fear don’t work anymore. Obviously it hasn’t

West Ottawa Business Excellence Awards Gala I was delighted to join Mayor Jim Watson in congratulating the recipients of the West Ottawa Board Trade Business Excellence Awards.

These companies were recognized for being leaders in various categories. Andrew Scott with Pita Pit was recognized as the Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and Mark Saunders with Saunders Farm was recognized for Business Leader of the Year. It is always impressive to see the amount of talent in Kanata-Carleton and I look forward to seeing our business sector grow in our community. Congratulations to all!

worked out for them.”

Lehoux, who lost to Gallant in the last election, said there is a “racial” element to the email; linking refugees to Islamic terrorists is wrong, he said. As for the lack of proof for the subject line, Lehoux said most constituents have grown numb to Gallant’s rhetoric.

The issue has resulted in 10,000 hits on his Facebook account, and earned the ire of NDP MP Charlie Angus who said, “I guess I shouldn’t be shocked by the latest antics of Cheryl Gallant but this one is really distasteful. The tragedy that occurred at the War Memorial should stand for something more than a politician trying to cash in with ham sales for the political pork barrel.

Shameful.”

Gallant’s office issued a March 4 email thanking those who “responded” to the fundraiser.

It referred to the first email, not as “Terrorists among us” but as “Loyalty is what makes good citizens,” although it did use all capital letters.

The second email was signed by a staffer, Chris Brown, who said, “Cheryl and I are pleased to let you know that a donation will be made to the Stand on Guard Fund in support of the families of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo.”

This event is a joint fundraiser for Arnprior Regional Health and Arnprior Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home

Gallant has a long record of gaffes over her lengthy time in office. During the most recent election campaign, she chastised Lehoux for attending a ceremony for fallen soldiers. He said she was the one campaigning at the event; he was attending as a veteran.

D.W. Antler is another military vet who had a “visceral, emotional reaction” to Gallant’s fundraising email. On his blog The Smell Test, he derided her as morally bankrupt and proof of the “creeping fascism that has infected the Canadian Conservative Party.”

In a phone interview, Antler said the military is now seen as little more than a wing of the Conservative Party.

“We have a big problem in the military. Politicians drape themselves in the flag for partisan gain, and make it look like the military is an element of the Conservative Party and not here to defend all Canadians.”

Marcantonio sent out a news release late on March 7, announcing the farmers’ market would host its inaugural Carp Herb Festival on Sunday, June 26.

“This event will help fill the void left when the owners of the Herb Garden in Almonte decided they would no longer host the Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest,” he said in the release.

“The Carp Farmers’ Market Association has a long history with Herbfest going back to its origins.

Many of our members have participated in the event through the years and we have supplied many of their infrastructure needs. Our organizational skills and track record with events such as our Garlic Festival mean that attendees can look forward to pleasant and informative celebrations of all things herb related.”

The new festival will “concentrate on herbs – growing them, cooking with them, their use in lotions, infusions and other cosmetic and medicinal applications,” he said.

The Carp Herb Festival will be a “producers’ market,” he added, meaning there will be no re-selling of products.

Marcantonio added there will be no admission fee and no charge for parking.

“We look forward to welcoming all those enthusiasts who annually made the pilgrimage to the west end of Ottawa to partake in a festival of herbs,” he said.

ties.

Although the Herb Garden remains open, the Bedards wanted someone else to helm the event and the Carp Farmers’ Market agreed to take it over.

However, a note posted on the Herbfest Facebook page announced it was looking for alternate venues in the Ottawa area and it appears the event may relocate to McNabBraeside.

Since late last year, McNab-Braeside’s recreation committee has been working on a plan to have the festival relocate to the scenic Waba Cottage Museum grounds in White Lake.

In a report to council, the recreation committee says that both it and the current Herbfest owner are “comfortable with the concept of transferring the event to Waba Cottage Museum if enough volunteers are recruited.” In the past it has taken about 60 volunteers to organize and run the festival.

As well, the Bedards agreed to act as event consultants for several years if necessary to help ensure the event’s success at the new site.

At its Feb. 22 meeting, township council unanimously approved a recreation committee recommendation that $500 be paid to ‘DE George’ of Herbfest “relating to transfer of the special event to the Waba Cottage Museum during July 2016.” The motion goes on to agree that $4,500 will be paid to the Herbfest owners following the successful execution of the event.

It was noted the wellestablished festival, which is traditionally held on the last Sunday in July, has attracted up to 3,000 people in the past.

Herbfest would fit in well with the Waba Cottage Museum grounds as it caters to the gardening community, nature lovers, foodies, environmentalists, families, artists and entrepreneurs.

EDITORIAL

We share the city with a nation

F

or decades the people of Ottawa – if not all of Canada – have dealt with a form of taxation without representation.

The National Capital Commission bills its responsibility as making the capital “a dynamic and inspiring source of pride for all Canadians, and a legacy for generations to come.”

It’s a lofty goal, paid for by all Canadians.

The decisions of the NCC board may often puzzle the locals, but without the NCC, Ottawa would be planned from a purely municipal outlook, when it certainly deserves a greater world view.

This is the capital city for all Canadians.

Unfortunately, the NCC has had to deal with federal governments that also believe in political interference, governments that have considered short-term political expediency the trump card, forgetting the “legacy for generations to come” part that is a function of taking a long-term view.

Big plans and big budgets can draw our focus to the short term; we want what we

want, and we want it now.

Those big plans and budgets also make politicians – who must keep their eyes on getting re-elected – over-excited, ready to build themselves a legacy.

Every decision made by the NCC should be taken with the long-term implications as its primary focus. We are all here on a temporary basis. With a clean slate, the Trudeau government has set new and welcome parameters for the NCC. That doesn’t mean there will be no political interference, but it has already delivered some good news.

Someone in the federal government has realized that the NCC’s physical jurisdiction actually overlaps that of local governments in two provinces.

The mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau are now non-voting members of the NCC board of directors.

That this is a new situation, when the NCC has been around since 1959, is shocking. But what’s done is done. Bring on the clean slate.

I

t is almost comical, the disputes we get into over how to protect ourselves from ourselves.

Many difficult situations, not to mention a lot of arguing, could be prevented if we just behaved better, but that is not our nature.

Here are a couple of examples – noise bylaw enforcement and photo radar.

In a perfect world we wouldn’t need them.

But people drive too fast and people have parties and people who have parties have neighbours.

In days gone by, this situation was dealt with by a combination of bylaw officers and police.

But now there is talk of scaling back, with some residents fearing that no one will show up to ask the folks next door to keep it

If there were a larger police force, there would be less need to drop low priorities – of which noise is deemed to be one.

people behaving badly.

That’s the question of too-fast driving in residential areas. Photo radar has been proposed by an Ottawa city councillor and the debate has begun to rage.

There are two issues really: effectiveness and civil liberties. The second is easier to deal with.

While it is true that surveillance cameras, such as photo radar, intrude on our privacy, these would not be the first.

In fact, cameras are trained on us in all sorts of public spaces.

We may not have reached the Big Brother stage of say, London, where it is apparently difficult to move without being on camera.

But we are getting there.

light camera, why would we not accept one on the street where we live? If the civil liberties horse has left the barn, the question of effectiveness remains.

Would photo radar work? It got good reviews when it was in effect in the early ’90s on Ontario highways, before it became politically expedient to end it.

But how well could it work in neighbourhoods?

You can see it working on major streets, where the buses run.

But major streets are not what concerns parents.

Major streets have stoplights and, in key areas, crossing guards.

What worries a parent is his own quiet street which somebody uses, too fast, as a shortcut, or is just not paying attention.

The driver doesn’t even have to be speeding to be a danger to children playing on that street; 50 km/h or even 40 is way too fast.

street like that? Well, maybe you don’t need to, as long as drivers think the cameras might be there.

The mere thought of cameras can act as a deterrent to would-be speeders. There are a lot of tricky details to work out, for sure, including the fact that cameras show cars, not people.

Gallant disrespects Liberal MP, military veteran To the Editor: On Friday, Feb. 19 Cheryl Gallant stood in the House of Commons and yelled at retired Lieutenant Colonel Karen McCrimmon, who serves as MP for the neighbouring KanataCarleton. Mrs. Gallant was, among other things, outraged that Ms. McCrimmon was not wearing a red shirt to support military families that day.

Karen McCrimmon is a role model for equality in the workforce; both in the military and non-military positions, and her continuing service to the Canadian people should be respected. Over her career, she has shattered glass ceilings that impeded career progress for military women. During her international postings, including two tours to Afghanistan, her family stressed and worried through crisis as all military families do.

Cheryl Gallant dressed up in a military costume for the photo on her website. Karen McCrimmon, the first female navigator and first female commander of an air squadron, exemplifies military family past and future.

If retired Lieutenant Colonel McCrimmon was a man, would Mrs. Gallant yell “How dare he?” about his clothing? If retired Lieutenant Colonel McCrimmon was a man, would Mrs. Gallant be able to ask an intelligent question about the withdrawal of CF-18’s rather than shrieking about the missing red shirt?

According to a recent poll by Abacus Data, the majority of Canadians support our government’s plan to eradicate ISIL. Meanwhile, voters in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke disagree with most Canadians and re-elected Mrs. Gallant. However, they are expecting their voice to be represented and their voice is not disrespectful of former military officers.

Mrs. Gallant should apologize. She must apologize to McCrimmon for her clearly inappropriate and almost sexist remarks. She should also apologize to the people of RNP for abusing the trust they gave her.

Snow clearing essential Liberal rural caucus To the Editor; will speak for Carleton I appreciate your editorial “Storm plan-

ning adrift in Ottawa” on Feb. 25, 2016 after the big snowstorm on Feb. 16.

Now the City of Ottawa wants to reduce the snow-clearing budget, because other cities do less. We are not Montreal or Hamilton.

Our streets are narrow and becoming narrower because bicycle lanes are decreasing the road width.

Bicycles seem more important than cars or service vehicles. Plumbers, electricians, and other service tradesmen cannot service the customers in Centertown, because there is no place to park their service vehicles.

The day of the big storm was upsetting for those struggling to get places by OC Transpo and other vehicles. The buses stood still, and people got out to try to get to their destination by walking on the road.

The sidewalks that get people to buses were not plowed, and big snow banks blocked the way.

My son who lives in the Glebe had to walk on the one-car-wide road, and men in a car trying to pass yelled at him to get off the road.

Prior to the storm, the city was announcing that about 580 plows were ready to go.

Possibly not enough dump trucks and the machines that get the snow into the trucks were planned for.

Big snow banks were still stopping OC TranspO buses two days after the storm.

Snow clearing is essential and shouldn’t take a back seat to LRT funding.

Fran Dawson Constance Bay

To the Editor: As the Liberal MP elected in the rural Western Quebec riding of Pontiac, just across the Ottawa River, I was really pleased to meet with Chris Rodgers at the Liberal rural caucus last week.

Like Chris/Allan, who delivered such a solid 2015 Liberal campaign in the riding of Carleton, I care deeply about the future of rural Canada. He and I agree that it is crucial for our government to stand up for our small communities, to invest in our regional infrastructure, to protect our seniors and to build an economy that helps grow the middle class.

Fortunately, our Liberal rural caucus is strong and united, and we will work with Chris to ensure over the coming four years that the voices of Carleton will be heard.

Together, we will consult with Canadians to ensure that a positive agenda for small towns and people living outside the big cities is articulated. And we will make sure that the next federal budget reflects our concerns!

Rest assured that your most recent Liberal candidate is still working to help bring your voice to the Government of Canada, and we will be listening to him as well as current MP, Pierre Poilievre.

Is cat season over yet?

While many of you are watching for winter to be over, we are eagerly awaiting the end of indoor cat season. We have two cats that are fairly well behaved and allowed to live in the house (much to the Farmer’s chagrin, as he is not a “cat person”.) At the onset of winter, however, two of our barn cats insist on coming in as well. They are brother and sister, both tabby cats – one grey, one brown.

Junior (the male) is brave but stand-offish. You can only pet him when he is distracted with food. But at least you can get to him to apply flea drops every three months so your house is safe for the term of his tenancy.

Nosey (the female) is extremely shy. She has never forgiven me for catching her in a large butterfly net that one time. I had to catch her so the Farmer could give her a penicillin shot and I could spray the open wound that she man-

DIANA FISHER Accidental Farmwife aged to obtain on her cheek.

She recovered quite quickly from that injury, I can proudly report. But she no longer trusts me.

Every winter these two come inside, and then we have four house cats. For the first few winters they spent most of their time in the basement when we were at home. After we had been away at work we would find telltale signs that they had been up on the furniture, exploring the kitchen counters, and jumping on the beds. This year, they are bolder than ever.

They strut through the living

room while we are sitting there watching TV. They jump up on the table to examine what we are eating. And they chase each other at warp speed throughout the house – digging their claws into the hardwood floor on the turns.

They sharpen the aforementioned claws on the leather couch (gasp) and the carpeted stairs. The couch now has deep scratches and the carpet is shredded in spots. I fear the Farmer will not put up with this nonsense much longer.

So, now that the days are getting warmer, the terrible twins will get booted outside.

They can sleep in the barn at night and remain quite comfortable, after all. They could have been out there all winter without a problem – we have a stray male in the barn right now who burrows deep inside a hay bale. He looks pretty toasty to me.

It’s just very difficult to resist a cat who is standing on his hind legs so that he can peer into your living room window, crying to be let in. He sits at the front door and sings.

Nosey is silent but she sits two feet behind Junior, letting him do his thing. When the door opens, they both dart in. Many times the Farmer doesn’t even see them enter. They flash by his legs and under the couch so fast he doesn’t even notice.

The cushy lifestyle inside the house is deterring the cats’ re-entry into farm life, for sure. But the other deterrent is the rather large and aggressive tom cat who has taken to visiting the back porch. When he appears, the four cats sit at the patio door and growl. Sheila, the smallest of them all, howls at him. It’s quite an eerie thing to hear. So we may have to

placed as well. Maybe the cats are doing us a favour.

Probably not, but I prefer to look at the bright side of things.

But seriously. I can’t wait to get these furry beasts out of my house. I just pulled a cat hair out of my mouth. I believe someone has been licking my toothbrush. w w w. t h e a c c i d e n talfarmwife.blogspot.com, www.dianafisherbooks. com; email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

wait until he moves along before the cats venture outside again.

I’m going through a box of cat litter a week.

My house looks like a cat shelter. The Farmer examines his leather couch and mutters, “damn cats.” I remind him that the couch is starting to sag and we were thinking of getting a new one anyway. For that matter, the carpet on the stairs is rather faded and worn and should soon be re-

Huntley historical society meeting features restored 1898 Carp map The Huntley Township Historical Society (HTHS) is really looking forward to its March 22 presentation.

Kyla Ubbink, of Ubbink Book & Paper Conservation, will speak about her recent restoration work of the 1898 Carp Village map.

This very large map measuring 187cm by 96cm is

one of the most prized acquisitions of the HTHS. The map shows the rivers, streets, bridges, lots and boundary lines, as well as a directory of the 37 deed owners with the dates they purchased their land.

It has served its purpose well but if it was to continue to tell the story of Carp

and illustrate its history, then repairs were needed.

The map posed the greatest challenge for restoration, requiring that it be divided into two halves and then reassembled posttreatment. A thorough cleaning, washing, removal of the cloth backing, rebacking with new cloth and

ley Township were born or lived years ago or where old homes and businesses used to be,” said Wilfred Gilchrist, HTHS board member who speared-headed the project.

“Ms. Ubbink’s credentials and talents are extensive and her expertise is

filling in the losses was in order.

Ubbink will present an account of her months of work on the restoration.

The restored map will be on display during the meeting.

“This will give everyone a chance to check out where they or others from Hunt-

evident in this wonderful project.”

The presentation is open to the public. Volunteer donations are appreciated and light refreshment will be provided. The meeting will be held March 22 at 2:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall, 3739 Carp Rd.

City’s budget growing to deal with wild parsnip infestation jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city is doubling its efforts to fight Wild Parsnip this summer, and plans to start educating the public on avoiding it as early as April this year.

The weed’s sap reacts with the sun’s rays and can cause burn-like skin rashes and in some extreme cases – blindness.

The city declared it a noxious plant in January 2015 and gave parks, building and group services a budget of $100,000 to deal with it.

This year, the budget will be $198,000, the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee heard on March 2.

Staff has found that a mature plant can shed as many as 1,000 seeds, which can lie dormant in the ground for

up to three years.

That means the plant spreads quickly and is hard to control and mowing alone won’t stop it.

Committee chair Scott Moffat said the city has been working with partners in neighbouring municipalities like Leeds-Grenville and Stormont-Dundas Glengarry to try and get a handle on the problem.

“It’s really a regional

problem,” Moffat said, adding the plant as spread as far as Belleville, Ont. Staff will begin spraying for the weed in May this year, a full month ahead of last year’s efforts.

They will also meet with

vendors for a herbicide called Truvist – because the herbicide they currently use, called ClearView, doesn’t deal with the plants seeds.

West-Carleton March Coun. Eli El Chantiry said it’s important to send out

information for the councillors to residents.

“A lot of them have trouble identifying the plant,” he said.

Information will be made available at ottawa.ca/wildparsnip.

Pamphlets will be available this spring to provide information about wild parsnip. The city of Ottawa is getting more aggressive in the bid to fight against the invasive weed.

Since declaring it a noxious weed at the start of 2015 – the city has increased the budget for a pilot project to map and eradicate it from $100,000 to $198,000.

The nesting season has begun!

The recent roller-coaster ride in the weather may have some of you wondering if winter will ever relinquish its icy grip. While there will likely be more snow and a few more plunges in the temperature, the sun’s ever-increasing conviction reveals that spring is truly on its way. Other signs corroborate this, such as the vigorous, morning songs of House Finches and Northern Cardinals.

There are other indications that spring is well on its way. In Algonquin Park, Dan Strickland reports that nearly a dozen pairs of Gray Jays are building or have already built nests. But locally other species have already passed that stage.

Many of you living on farms have over recent weeks

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way seen Common Ravens building nests on the top of silo ladders. Many of those now contain eggs with the female sitting low to stay out of sight while keeping the eggs warm. While ravens nest on human-made structures like silos, train trestles, and tow-

ers, their natural sites include cliff ledges and tall trees. In all situations, raven nests are bulky and are comprised entirely of sticks.

Recently I came across a raven nest that, although nearly a kilometre away, because of its size was visible to my unaided eye. The nest was typical, being huge and made of sticks. It was placed in a large deciduous tree, easy to see without leaves to hide it.

Through binoculars I could see a couple of ravens that seemed to be investigating the nest. Then I spotted a head sticking up above the sticks, one that wasn’t black like those of the ravens. Immediately I knew another bird had usurped the ravens’ nest, so I quickly set up my spotting scope for a better view.

As soon as the scope was focused my suspicions were confirmed; sticking up from the nest was the unmistakable head of a Great Horned Owl! Great Horned Owls are the first birds in our area to lay eggs. They don’t build nests but instead take over another bird’s nest built the previous year. Because of their size, Great Horned Owls usurp the nests of large birds such as crows, hawks, and occasionally even Great Blue Herons.

The ravens were clearly harassing the owl, thrusting their heads toward it with beaks open. The nest was far away and it was windy so I couldn’t hear any sounds but the ravens were clearly screaming at the owl. With bill threateningly open, the besieged owl would occasionally jerk its head toward

Michael Runtz

A Great Horned Owl’s head is adorned with name-giving, decorative feathers. one of its taunters, which never quite got within striking range. Then suddenly a second owl flew into view and landed beside its mate. It let the ravens know it meant business, and they seemed to relent a bit. A short while later the ravens apparently lost interest and flew away, perhaps to build a new nest.

Before the tree leaves open, take a close look at any large, stick nest that you find. If you see a pair of feathered “horns” sticking up from it, you know that the nest has a new tenant, one that won’t be paying any rent!

On March 17, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will once again host a presentation describing a uniquely special place in the natural world.

The sixth event of the current season, it will take place in Almonte United Church at 7:30 p.m. The guest speaker for the evening will be Grant Dobson and his presentation is entitled ‘Shaw Woods: A Diverse Ecological Gem’.

Dobson is the chair of Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre.

The woods first opened to the public in the 1970s. More recently, it has become a notfor-profit charitable organization involving local volunteers including Dobson.

Together they have expanded the 13-kilometre trail network, built boardwalks over sensitive areas and developed a self-guided interpretive program. A lookout perches high above Shaw Pond along the Dore Scarp.

“The mandate of the Shaw

managed forests, plantations, and wetlands.”

Some of the trees in the forest are over 200 years old.

This magnificent forested area near Lake Dore is named for the Shaw family that has lived here for many years. It spans some 124 acres of oldgrowth forest as well as 395 acres of wetlands and mixed forests.

In 1847, John Shaw, a Scottish miller, and his wife Barbara Thompson arrived with their two-year-old son, having canoed from Bytown (the former name for Ottawa).

They built a dam on the Snake River and developed a three-story grist mill to serve the early settlers who would often walk up to 12 miles carrying a 66-pound bag of grain on their back.

For thousands of years before that, people of the Algonquin nation inhabited the shores of Lake Dore and traveled along the Snake River to the Ottawa River watershed.

They accessed the wetlands in search of food - animals that could be hunted and plants that could be gathered.

ine the physical environment of Shaw Woods, from the Paleozoic era to the present, as well as the range of flora and fauna which has evolved there.

Stage production will ‘hit you right in the feels’ Carp actor, producer takes to the Arts Court stage in Perfect Pie Carp actor Megan Carty will explore the powers of memories and how events shape people’s lives – often in unexpected ways – in the stage performance of Perfect Pie at the Arts Court Theatre this month.

Described as a “contemporary Canadian ghost story” the play follows two childhood friends who reconnect after 25 years.

Now grown women, the two are forced to confront a terrifying incident from their past that drove them apart.

“I just think there’s something so beautiful and nostalgic about memory and what sticks with us, how events that happen to us when we’re young and friendships really shape our lives in ways we don’t even know,” said Carty. “It all does lead down to one major incident that the main character Cassie can no longer suppress.”

sions of the two.

Cart Before the Horse, a production company founded by Carty and director Paul Griffin, will produce Perfect Pie as part of the Arts Court Tactics season. With a dense, intense script, an original score and creative lighting, Perfect Pie will resonate with the audience.

“It’s not just another play, it really is unique,” said Carty. “It’s one of those plays that hit you right in the feels. This is the kind of show that’s going to invoke a lot of emotion.”

The mandate of Carty’s company is to explore how the lives of young women are shaped in innovative, new and risky ways, she said.

Perfect Pie is the second full production by Cart Before the Horse (the fourth show in total), the first being 2014’s stage adaption of The Shape of a Girl, directed by Griffin and starring Carty.

22 West Carleton Review - Thursday, March 10, 2016

A little bit of hard work and a lot of Valley talent is going a long way for two Arnprior lads.

New country band River Town Saints has two members who hail from Arnprior and the band’s first single is slowly rising on the country charts.

‘A Little Bit Goes A Long Way’ is currently number 34 on the Billboard Country Canada chart and in December it was the third most added song on country radio.

The band is described as a five-piece harmony driven group with rock n’roll roots.

The moniker is a play on where they grew up, all of the band members grew up on the Ottawa River and a few of them played in church bands.

Rhythm guitarists Chris McComb grew up in Arnprior and drummer Jordan Potvin moved to town five years ago. Both are feeling the support of the community, especially since the group’s first video just hit.

“I’ve been hanging out around town and people are saying congratulations, so much has happened in the last few months it’s cool to see the community’s reaction,” said McComb.

“It’s been really welcoming and encouraging, people are saying they hear the song on the radio and that’s a really cool feeling.”

Potvin says it’s a little different because he didn’t grow up in town but people are starting to recognize him too.

“I really love the small town feel, there really is that small town feeling where everyone has your back and is proud of us,” said Potvin.

The new video was filmed in downtown Ottawa. When asked if Arnprior will make an appearance in the next video, McComb hinted

at the possibility.

“When we sent Open Road Recordings our first video it was shot in my dad’s barn in Pine Grove, just outside of Arnprior,” said McComb. “That’s where it all started, the team really liked it a lot, hopefully we will use it in a future video.”

The group has been together now for two years and McComb says it has been a lot of hard work.

“I remember growing up and thinking how cool it would be to be in a band. It’s a lot of hard work, personally I thrive on being busy,” said McComb.

He explains there are a lot of steps leading up to releasing an album.

“Part of it is writing music, demoing music and we have to like them. It’s a long process, it takes months for one song,” said McComb.

They are working towards an album but first they will release an EP. “We have four songs recorded, the last two have been tough … We are all learning and becoming a better band,” said McComb.

They both hope they will play somewhere in the Valley soon and have a few shows planned for the spring and summer.

The biggest show they have lined up is at one of the biggest country festivals of the year: Boots and Hearts Aug. 4 to 7, in the Barrie area.

“That’s exciting, it’s been on our bucket list,” said McComb.

They are both appreciative of the support from their family and friends and right now they are enjoying the ride.

“It’s a lot of fun but a lot of hard work,” said Potvin. “You are chasing that dream and it will really take off.”

QCH announces $5-million fundraising goal for mental health unit Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

“The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one.”

That’s a phrase many people who are dealing with mental health issues or addiction will have heard.

When people with those problems arrive at the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s emergency department and become patients, it’s either because they have overcome the stigma surrounding those issues and admitted they have them, or they had no other choice.

Either way, they look to the hospital for help.

But staff at the Queensway Carleton have admitted they’ve got a problem too, said Dr. Andrew Falconer, chief of staff at the hospital. They can do more to help the growing number of mental health patients that come through their doors.

That’s why the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation kicked off a $5-million campaign at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Kanata last month.

With the $5 million the foundation hopes to raise, it plans a large scale renovation of its mental health unit facilities – built and untouched since 1976 – as well as enhanced emergency programs and services, and stronger connec-

tions to community mental health support services.

On its first day, president and CEO of the foundation, Melanie Adams, announced the campaign’s first major step forward – a $1-million donation from mental health advocate Barbara Crook and her husband Dan Greenberg.

Crook said she was supportive of the campaign from the beginning, even helping to get it started by showing Adams the problems the Queensway Carleton has.

Just a few years ago, Crook witnessed a family member suddenly develop bipolar disorder. Taking her family member to the Queensway Carleton Hospital, they were an in-patient there for more than three weeks.

Having to leave a loved one who is unwell behind a locked door was a very difficult experience, said Crook.

She watched her family member receive treatment over the weeks and saw what the hospital was doing right, and what it was lacking.

“While the care was excellent, the facility was out of date and not conducive to healing, particularly for patients who were already experiencing confusion, despair and a loss of dignity,” she said.

Emergency mental health patients are severely lacking in privacy when they first

arrive, as well as after, said Falconer.

When mental health patients arrive, often in crisis, they await their turn right next to other emergency patients, and when they do explain their problems to a doctor or other staff, they are separated from other patients only by a sheet, and may be speaking with someone without mental health training, said Falconer and chief of psychiatry, Dr. Gerry McNestry.

The in-patient facility has similar privacy issues. With 22 in-patient mental health beds, the facility itself is shabby and cannot separate patients from other mental health patients in crisis who arrive late at night or with a police escort, said Crook.

For a place meant to help people find mental stability again, the facility is “depressing,” she said.

Over 700 mental health patients spend more than one night at the Queensway Carleton every year, said Adams.

The demand for mental health services at the hospital continues to grow, with a 28 per cent increase in mental health admissions since 2012, and a 25 per cent increase in patients with mental diagnosis through the emergency department in that same period.

Some of those are people like Matthew Cinq-Mars, who along with his parents, told his story of dealing

with depression with the help of the hospital at the campaign launch.

Denis Daoust, along with his wife, told his story of attempted suicide after their daughter died.

Daoust said that, though he is a gregarious fellow, baring his soul to strangers is very difficult. But he said it is worth it to help others who go through the Queen-

sway Carleton.

Campaigns like Do It For Daron and Bell Let’s Talk were lauded at the launch for their work destigmatizing mental health problems. But as more people come forward, the deficiencies in mental health care facilities are becoming more apparent.

The goal of this campaign is to address that by

creating a bright, welcoming space that makes patients feel safe and secure, said Crook.

There are no government funds for the campaign currently and none are expected, said Adams.

“Our hope is that our community will rally together,” she said.

At this third and final Open House, participants will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the Recommended Plan. Residents are encouraged to provide comments by April 4. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/chapmanmillsextension.

Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design for the expansion and retrofit of the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The existing facility is an online wet pond that was constructed in 1976. The facility will be retrofitted to meet current City of Ottawa and Ministry of Environment and Climate Change stormwater treatment standards and expanded to meet the demands of the development of Nepean South.

At the Open House, participants will learn of the preferred alternative for expanding and retrofitting the facility. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/kennedyburnett.

Greenbank Road Watermain The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design Study for the Greenbank Road watermain between Jockvale Road and south of the Jock River. The study will determine the most appropriate alignment for a 610 millimetre diameter transmission watermain including methodology for crossing the Jock River. The watermain will improve water supply and reliability in the Nepean South development area. Planning and construction of the watermain will be coordinated with the approved widening and realignment of Greenbank Road. The study is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/greenbankwatermain.

Planned Construction Nepean Collector Sewer - Phase 2 The City is constructing a 2.4 kilometre long, 1050 millimetre diameter sanitary collector sewer. Phase 1 of the South Nepean Collector Sewer was constructed in 2005/2006 and ends at Jockvale Road just north of the Jock River. Phase 2 will extend from Phase 1 toward Strandherd Drive and will service the development of Nepean South. Sewer construction is scheduled to begin this summer and to be completed by spring 2017.

Speaker Maureen Sullivan gave an inspiring presentation on helping stressed youth at the last Carp Healing Circle on Feb. 14 at the Carp Memorial Hall.

Her presence was calming and her 20 years of experience working in the field of counselling children and adults were obvious in the quiet confidence she exuded in answering even the most intense questions from the audience.

She began with some information about what stress is and how it shows up differently for kids and adults.

Young people tend to “catastrophize” things that are easier to take in stride after more years

Revised Notice of Completion

Class Environmental Assessment Tri-Township Sanitary Sewer Collector Replacement

In February 2001, the City of Ottawa completed a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review sanitary sewer infrastructure upgrades for the West Urban Community area of Ottawa. In the 2001 Environmental Screening Report (ESR), the preferred alternative identified several projects which would increase the overall performance and capacity of the sanitary servicing for the West Urban Community. The ESR concluded that a new trunk sewer would be constructed to convey flow from the Kanata North area, and the existing Tri-Township Collector (TTC) sewer south of the railway line and the March Ridge Trunk (MRT) sewer would be relined and rehabilitated to extend their service life.

More than 10 years have passed since completion of the 2001 EA and the condition of the TTC has deteriorated. A review of the original EA in the current planning context was undertaken to evaluate the rehabilitation of the TTC and the MRT. The TTC is currently at its maximum capacity and it is proposed to be replaced with a new larger diameter sewer to convey future projected flows for 2021 and 2060. A portion of the MRT will also be replaced and lowered to eliminate the existing siphon under Watts Creek. The EA Review has identified the preferred alignment for the TTC and MRT replacement sewers and confirmed that this revised solution does not present any new environmental implications as compared to the 2001 EA. By this Notice, the EA Review is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that only the changes proposed in the EA Review are open for review.

For further information on this project, to submit comments or to inspect a copy of the EA Review report, please contact the City of Ottawa’s project manager at the address below: Adrian Munteanu, M.A.Sc., P.

If concerns arise regarding this project, which cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order), which addresses individual environment assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below within 30 calendar days of the first publication of this Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the City at the address below. If there is no request received by April 9, 2016 the project will proceed to detailed design and construction as presented in the planning documentation.

of experience. We forget how frightening it was.

Stress is what we feel when there is an actual or perceived threat. The body tenses to fight or flee, creating all kinds of symptoms such as sweating, headaches, trouble breathing, feeling unwell, nausea or upset stomach, feeling tired or exhausted, insomnia, increased heart rate, body aches and tense muscles.

Mental symptoms can include trouble thinking clearly, being forgetful, not being able to make decisions, memory loss, being overly emotional or having trouble controlling emotions and constant worry. Sound familiar?

The problem is that in our modern world, fighting or running away doesn’t solve the stress.

We have to learn to work through what stresses us – whether it has a solution or not. Either way, we can learn to feel more relaxed and in control in our lives.

Then we can model this for our kids.

Parents and family problems are one of the more common stressors for young people.

How do we notice when our kids are stressed? We might see alcohol abuse, smoking a lot, constant gum chewing, grinding teeth, overeating or not eating, being very critical of other people, spending lots of time in front of the TV, computer or video games, not being able to get things done, taking risks that can have negative consequences and sleeping too much or too little.

How do we help our youth when they are stressed? It begins with communication. “But they don’t want to talk to me”, say the parents.

Parents and adults who want to help young people need to learn to listen to them and talk less, patiently building bridges, learning the signs of stress and how to communicate effectively.

From there Maureen offered tips, techniques and experiential exercises which left us feeling relaxed, hopeful and uplifted. As well we received a large package of information and resources that looks extremely useful for following up with more help if needed.

Some of the many useful points included the concept of “beyond stress,” when the symptoms mentioned above slide into anxiety and depression; naming feelings and the things that stress us; and using our senses to bring our attention out of worry into the present, also known as mindfulness.

Dunrobin’s Cameron Smedley takes 5th at Oceania Open Staff

Dunrobin’s Cameron Smedley has been performing well on his Road to Rio, taking a number of top

place finishes at recent early-season events in the C1 men’s canoe slalom.

Smedley placed fifth in the Oceania Open finals at the Sydney Olympics sla-

lom course in Australia last month against 57 other athletes in the men’s C1 category.

Only 1.68 seconds behind the leader, Smedley

had the second fastest run but a two-second penalty knocked him down to fifth place.

Smedley didn’t advance from the semi-finals at the Australian Open, placing 24th, but he took the gold at the New Zealand Open, held in January, and

a bronze at the Rio Test Event late last year.

“Cameron has been building an excellent foundation for the upcoming slalom canoe season,” said Team Smedley Canoe manager Alison Smedley.

Next up is training on the Rio Olympic Course, races

in France and Italy, then the Canadian team selection in B.C. Smedley’s younger brother Liam has been training in B.C. in preparation for team selection, the summer World Cup races and the under-23 World Championships to be held in Poland.

The great Canadian sport of curling is set to take over Lansdowne Park and TD Place as the Tim Hortons Brier kicked off on March 3, the same day opening preliminary rounds were set to be played.

Mayor Jim Watson welcomed Team Canada, defending Brier champions, to Ottawa for the men’s national curling championship at a kick off event held at Local at Lansdowne.

“It’s great to have the Brier back in Ottawa,” Watson said. “It’s a chance for us to showcase the beautifully renovated Lansdowne Park.”

Watson said the curling championship will have a $15 million impact on the city. Besides packing TD place for games, fans are expected to attend the Bri-

er Patch – also known as the beer gardens – in Aberdeen Pavillion during the event that runs until March 13.

“To all the residents of Ottawa, come on down,” Watson said.

“Come and watch some of the best curlers in the world come and participate in this amazing Canadian tradition.”

This year’s Brier field is especially strong. Members of Team Canada said it’ll be a competitive field, and tougher than other years.

“The most depth I’ve ever (seen) at a Brier,” said Team Canada third John Morris, who grew up in Beacon Hill.

He said there are normally three or four teams who could be top contenders to win it all, but this year there are about eight.

“This is the toughest field I’ve ever seen for a Brier, so it’ll be the tough-

est defense ever,” said Team Canada lead Nolan Theissen. “It’s a whole new set of challenges and a whole new event. You’ve got to work your butt off and try and make the playoffs.”

Other contenders include Team Ontario’s Glenn Howard rink, the 2014 Olympic Gold medal team from Northern Ontario, which is skipped by Brad Jacobs, and two-time Brier winner Kevin Koe of Alberta.

The 2006 Brier champion Jean-Michel Ménard, who is from Gatineau, will also likely draw a strong fan base for Team Quebec.

The 2016 Brier will also mark the first year that Nunavut competes in the Brier.

The Wade Kingston rink was scheduled to compete on March 3 in the prequalifying round.

The Brier was last hosted by Ottawa in 2001.

Ottawa UFC fight to feature Rory MacDonald and Stephen Thompson Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s sports commissioner, Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic, is stoked about the announcement that Ottawa will host its first UFC fight on June 18.

As to where the fight will take place, he won’t tell you.

“We don’t know yet,” Mitic said.

“But it’s probably going to be Lansdowne or the Canadian Tire Centre.

Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White confirmed the news on March 4.

Mitic said he’s been working to bring the sport to the capital since taking on the role of sports com-

missioner.

On the eve the 2016 Tim Horton’s Curling Brier, Mitic said his two priorities were UFC and curling, in response to requests from residents.

Mitic said on his first day in office, he emailed Tom Wright with UFC Canada to put the capital on the radar.

June 18 will mark the 20th UFC event in Canada.

Mitic said the UFC has a great practice of promoting the city where an event is being held.

While he didn’t have the exact numbers on hand, Mitic said, there’s millions of dollars to be realized in restaurants and hotel stays.

Ottawa has a pretty strong UFC

community, Mitic said, adding the Ottawa Martial Arts Academy has a mixed martial arts league.

UFC president Dana White confirmed the welterweight fight between Canadian Rory MacDonald and American Stephen Thompson during a press conference in Las Vegas. The fight will be at a venue that’s yet to be announced.

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

I was driving in a parking lot and I collided with a parked car while leaving. There was some damage. I thought it looked pretty serious, but the owner said if I paid $500 cash, it would be no problem. Is there any down side to this?

Yes. It is risky to settle financial issues with respect to a property damage dispute on an informal basis.

The first issue is your insurance protection. If you think you may have to make an insurance claim, then you risk voiding your insurance coverage by taking any steps to settle without the express consent of your insurer.

Secondly, without proper documentation to evidence your agreement, there is a risk that your payment will not be viewed as a final settlement, About Allan Snelling

Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm. Collaborative in approach and focused on solutions, our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff are committed to client satisfaction.

His primary areas of expertise are business disputes, personal injury and insurance matters.

particularly if there is more damage than the payment would cover, giving rise to a finding of improvident settlement.

If in doubt, you should always report a potential claim to your insurer. Absent insurance, you may want to consider hiring a lawyer to draft a release.

At the very least, you should evidence a settlement agreement in writing.

West Carleton team sinks at skills competition, still has fun Staff

Students from West Carleton Secondary School had the opportunity to travel to Waterloo for the province-wide Skills Ontario Cardboard Boat Race Championship earlier this month.

The West Carleton team finished last out of 13 competitors but certainly looked like they enjoyed the challenge as they tried to paddle their cardboard craft across a pool.

The team scored well in the quality, team and total construction categories but failed to earn points in the weight category as the boat didn’t quite hold up throughout the entire race.

More than 200 students from across Ontario took part in the elementary and high school challenges on March 1 and 2. Eight schools (including West Carleton) attended from Ottawa.

In fact, local Notre Dame High School took first place in the secondary school competition, the only Ottawa-area school to finish in a top spot.

Teams had two hours to construct a cardboard boat from scratch at the competition before testing out their contraptions in the water. T he skills competition offers students an opportunity to learn about skilled trades and technologies.

Students at St. Michael School in Fitzroy Harbour proved their math chops – and their competitive spirit – during a board-wide Mathletics competition last month.

With four classes participating, the small rural school of less than 200 students took top honours.

“Out of the entire Ottawa Catholic School Board – that’s 90 schools – St. Mike’s, the smallest school, we came out on top,” said teacher Shannon

Quinn during a small assembly for the winners.

The school received a glass trophy, a $100 gift card, rubber bracelets, stickers and pencils. The students clapped and cheered as the announcement was made in the school gym.

“It makes me so happy,” said Grade 3 student Justin Chupick, adding he enjoyed taking the tests.

Many of the students said the addition and subtraction questions were difficult, but they all learned how to better solve problems by taking

Pain and Swelling “unexplainable!”

A friend of mine recently told me that he has had pain on the inside of his left calf now for a few weeks and it doesn’t let go. Ever since he also noticed that his lower left leg and ankle was visibly swollen. He said there was never a bruise, nor can he remember what he’d done to it. Yes he is very active, but he didn’t hit himself or fell over something, at least not as far as he can remember. He said: “Last week it was so bad that I went to emergency, thinking that it might come from my heart or it being a clogged artery.” He was truly getting concerned that there was something bad going on as it wouldn’t light up and heal. With over six hours waiting time at Emergency, he decided to leave after a few hours again and to further monitor his leg.

I had a look at it and really, there was nothing visible, except the swelling.We discussed many options that could have happened and also investigated what this pain and the swelling would mean on the soul spiritual side of things. If there is something weird going on in our body, something that cannot be explained, we always identify the deeper meaning of “why we needed to get this and how it is a little “wink” to correct our lifestyle in one way or another. My friend got his “aha” moment and now at least on an emotional level he could relate to the pain and swelling. We also treated him with some homeopathic remedies and within only one day his symptoms had noticably improved. within a total of four days there was not trace of anything left. The pain as well as the swelling was completely gone!

What a happy“camper”he was!To see our Heilkunst treatment being this effective, he was absolutely amazed and became a total “believer” in Heilkunst.

Sometimes it’s just this little curveball that’s been thrown to us, something that make us completely desperate and then out of this desperation we are willing to try something we previously resisted and popooed. Seing is believing! Keep an open mind.Try Heilkunst for yourself! There is nothing we don’t treat for!

Board’s code of conduct step closer to approval Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new policy that would give Ottawa’s English public school board the power to sanction trustees for unethical or chronically disrespectful behaviour is another step closer to becoming reality.

“There’s always been a need to get something in place which clarifies where you get disagreements among trustees, that are personal disagreements as opposed to disagreements over an issue,” said Lynn Scott, trustee and chairwoman of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s subcommittee that is developing the inaugural code of conduct for trustees.

“How do you mediate that?” she said.

The subcommittee’s five trustees unanimously agreed on March 2 to send the draft policy to the board’s next committee of the whole meeting for debate on March 22.

Once approved, the board would have the power to censure a trustee who breaches the code, bar a trustee from attending all or part of a board

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

A code of conduct is in the works at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board that would give trustees the power to sanction fellow trustees for violating the rules. A five-member subcommittee, chaired by Lynn Scott, trustee for West Carleton-March, Stittsville and Rideau-Goulbourn, has unanimously agreed to send the draft document to the board’s committee of the whole for debate. or committee meeting or ban a member from committee meetings for a period of time set out by the board.

“There was concern expressed at the meeting that could be indefinite, and that’s why we’re deciding whether there should be a specific time

in there and what that specific time should be,” said Shirley Seward, River trustee and board chair.

Staff will be seeking legal advice on what would be a reasonable period of time.

“Right now, the policy doesn’t talk about any term of

Pet Adoptions

time and doesn’t specify that boards of trustees should be judicious or fair,” Seward said.

The policy would not allow a trustee to be removed from the board.

Committee member Donna Blackburn, trustee for Barrhaven and Merivale-Knoxdale, expressed concern that an elected trustee who is barred could be replaced with a board-appointed representative.

She pointed to the case of an Ontario trustee who was barred from board meetings for three years before she resigned and was replaced.

“There needs to be something in this code that prevents a trustee from being ineffective,” Blackburn said during the meeting, adding this “is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed.”

APOLOGY ACCEPTED

Blackburn herself was recently the focus of a complaint by a trustee for remarks made to the media in January, in which she called colleagues who oppose a proposed rate hike for before-and-after-school programs “whack jobs.” She also dropped an F-bomb.

After receiving a written complaint, Seward said she sought legal guidance on how to deal with it in the absence of a code of conduct.

New rules would not apply to trustee for past remarks Continued from page 36

Seward said the lawyer’s answer was that the board needs to have a code in place.

Blackburn said she has since tried to make amends for the name-calling and cursing, which she admitted was “inappropriate.”

Scott, who is trustee for West Carleton-March, Stittsville and Rideau-Goulbourn, and Seward both said Blackburn can’t be sanctioned for past remarks once the new policy takes effect.

“As far as I’m concerned that is over,” Seward said. “She did apologize. Her apology was accepted and that’s it.”

Once the policy comes into effect, the code would give the board the ability to govern

trustee conduct, holding them accountable for illegal or negligent actions, libelous or slanderous statements, or for not conducting themselves in a professional manner.

It also states they should not make personal, demeaning or disparaging comments about staff or board members, and should respect the views of others and not share confidential information.

INCREMENTAL STEPS

The policy also sets out the steps that would be taken once a concern, ranging from the complainant speaking with the trustee whose behaviour is in question to an informal review.

If that is unsuccessful, a formal review could be launched by the

chair or vice-chair and investigated internally or by an outside party.

If a trustee breaches the code, any levied sanctions would require a public vote by at least two-thirds of the 12-member board of trustees.

“I see this as nothing more than what we’re asking of our students and staff in that we’re spelling out what the expectations for trustees are and as an effort to hold trustees accountable,” Chris Ellis, trustee for Rideau-Rockcliffe and Alta Vista, said at the meeting. “It’s not to punish trustees.”

Seward agreed, and said in an interview she hopes the board never has to use it.

“It’s meant as something that all trustees can agree with and that in itself, I think, is the real

value of it, the fact that it discourages people to do things because the code of conduct is there, the whole board will have eventually a role in approving it, and it’s common language that is understood by all,” she said.

“It should be a deterrent.”

While there is a code of ethics in place, the board of trustees began informally looking at developing a code of conduct during the last term of office, something the province asked all boards to develop a number of years ago, said Seward.

“We’re one of the few boards that doesn’t have one yet,” she said, adding the subcommittee met last June and September, but the process was delayed amid a teacher labour dispute.

Ottawa, Gatineau mayors to join NCC board Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson said he’s anxious to begin working with the National Capital Commission as an ex-officio member of the board.

“I think we (Ottawa and Gatineau mayors) can bring a unique perspective,” he said. “And we can bring the NCC perspective to council. They are not always right and we are not always wrong.”

The commission announced on Feb. 29 that the board of directors had voted in favour of having the two mayors – Watson and Gatineau’s Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin – join the board as non-voting members.

The city has been asking for a voice on the commission’s board for a long time, namely because the commission’s decisions have an impact on city planning.

Watson said he was pleased the federal Minister of Canadian Heritage Mélanie Joly worked so quickly on the file. Joly recommended the board amend its bylaws to include Watson and Pedneaud-Jobin.

“I look forward to attending the first board meeting,” he said.

“I am delighted with the NCC’s decision to invite the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau to their board meetings as observers,” Joly wrote in a press release. “In this spirit of openness I intend to ensure that aboriginal people are also represented on the commission’s board. Our government is committed to raising the bar in terms of openness and transparency, and these decisions are part of an effort to serve the public interest.”

The mayors’ participation will be governed by the same

code of conduct, confidentiality provisions and conflict of interest rules required of NCC board members.

A statement from the commission said the mayors would be present during all board discussions with the exception of certain items, including lawyer-client privilege, human resource or privacy matters and matters concerning the official residences.

“The board’s decision today is an opportunity to further deepen the NCC’s relationship with our municipal partners,” said board chairman Russell Mills. “We believe this decision will foster a strategic regional alignment in building Canada’s capital as a dynamic and inspiring source of pride for all Canadians.”

The decision could mean the future involvement of other municipalities in the capital region.

City could dip into reserves to deal with 2015 deficit Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

City council will consider a plan to balance the books for 2015 by dipping into the city’s reserve funds.

The city ended last year with a $42-million shortfall, which city treasurer Marian Simulik said is much better than the numbers originally forecast.

Simulik credited the savings to minimal snowfalls in November and December, as well as the city’s hiring freeze.

She suggested the city’s reserves are healthy enough to use them to deal with the deficit. Even with the removal of $42 million, reserves are expected to hit $267 million by the end of the year, Simulik said.

During a March 1 finance and economic development committee meeting, Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans asked how much of the reserves – that come from sources such as the gas tax – are earmarked

for specific items that need to be used for transit projects.

Simulik said approximately $100 million comes from the gas tax, which the city is using to build the light rail the Confederation Line.

City staff plan to do an inventory of the city’s reserves and report back before the end of this year, Simulik said.

“We haven’t had refresh of them since 2002,” she said.

“There’s new methodology out there that takes a riskbased approach to figure out how much is enough. There’s a sweet spot between not too much and not enough.”

HIRING FREEZE QUESTIONS

Deans question whether the city’s hiring freeze impacted service levels, and said she wonders what will happen to the budget once it’s lifted.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said there’s still a freeze at the executive level, which will be in place until

Mayor Jim Watson says the city will review its snow clearing standards. the city meets the reduction targets set out during the budget process.

He said the hiring freeze only applies to positions that don’t impact front line service.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley congratulated staff on their “quick action,” to deal with the deficit.

Mayor Jim Watson cited lower than expected water meter revenues, high snow clearing expenses and OC Transpo maintenance costs

as unforeseen aspects of recent spending.

“We have reserves for the reason that we can’t always budget precisely,” Watson said, calling the reserves a kind of rainy day fund.

Watson added the budget performance review – brain-

child of Hubley and Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli – will help to create an early warning system if a department is in danger of going over budget.

Watson also said the city would review snow clearing standards.

“In some cases we will be increasing the level of service and in some cases, where we are going above what we need to, we will be decreasing it,” he said.

Watson recounted a story from the west end neighbourhood where he resides.

A plow was out pushing back snow banks that weren’t really blocking the roadway. He said a review could mean a better use of the city’s resources.

Watson said the city is on much more solid ground financially than at the close of 2015.

“We heard today the reserves are healthy,” he said.

The finance and economic development committee’s decision to use the reserves to pay off the deficit will need to be approved by council.

City to close car parts contract with United Auto Parts Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city will be closing out their five-year contract with United Auto Parts in July and buying back their inventory to the tune of $4.5 million, the city’s transportation committee heard on March 2.

Public works manager Kevin Wylie said the Office of the Auditor General found specific contracts and processes in fleet services couldn’t be reconciled with the city’s parts system. The audit also found that old stock was be-

ing kept and not being used.

The city then hired a consulting firm to ensure they were receiving fair market value for the service. The report found that there was a 10 per cent mark up on parts – which worked out to $700,000 annually. That, coupled with the $850,000 administration fee – means the city can do the work more efficiently, Wylie said.

Contracting out the service was meant to be more efficient.

Wylie said prior to the contract, the city had 12 employees dealing with the city’s parts inventory – and more than 300 ven-

dors.

Wylie said once the contract with UAP is up, the city will reallocate five public works employees to deal with four vendors.

“It won’t be a return to the old system,” he said.

Wylie said that the numbers won’t be available until the tenders are on the road, but he’s confident that the city will be able to avoid the 10 per cent mark up.

The city will be paying for the end of the contract with the public works reserves. Wylie said there is $5 million left in the department’s reserves.

“I hope we can learn from this process,” Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said.

The start up cost to do the parts program in-house will be $130,000 and a vehicle.

The city’s website says Ottawa owns 2,763 vehicles – 40 per cent of those are transit vehicles.

There are 10 maintenance facilities. The city contracts out 30 per cent of its maintainance work.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said it seemed like the city has spent a lot of money and is now de-investing.

“We cut money, we cut FTEs,

but we are going to do everything we were doing, but going to do it better,” she said. “It sounds like snow clearing.”

Wylie said it’s not about doing the same thing better - it’s about making it different.

While the city’s still in discussions, the plan to work with four vendors will be more efficient than before when they used 300.

Wylie said it wasn’t possible to find a single vendor who could manage the city’s stock.

“There’s a myriad of parts and things we have to deal with,” he said.

City to adopt policy to encourage purchase March of electric, hybrid vehicles SavingS jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

All city departments will be encouraged to go green when buying new vehicles thanks to a motion by Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury introduced at transportation committee on March 2.

The motion essentially means that any new vehicle purchase will be either hybrid, or electric, unless there are operational requirements that prohibit that.

In that case, the departments will have to report back to council on why they didn’t go with an eco friendly option.

The cost difference for a hybrid or electric vehicle over the traditional choice would come from the green fleet fund – which is $500,000 annually.

Committee chair Keith Egli expressed concern that the policy change may exhaust the fund, and impair the city’s ability to replace vehicles.

But public works manager Kevin Wylie said the green fleet fund

would only be used to cover the incremental cost difference, and the city would replace vehicles under the regular budget.

Fleury said the move was in line with the city’s updated climate change action plan.

“Right now there’s nothing to mandate staff to purchase vehicles of equal value on the green front,” he said.

Couns. David Chernushenko and Stephen Blais cautioned that staff should be sceptical about vendors claims and use examples from other municipalities.

Blais said the hybrid buses the city purchased in 2012 failed to meet the city’s projections for cost recovery.

The projected cost savings didn’t take into account the distances Ottawa buses travel and the highway driving.

Chernushenko said there’s value in increasing the transparency about the decisions to purchase – or not purchase green vehicles.

If council approves the motion it would be the standard for vehicle purchases for 2017 and 2018.

Just say no to pot – at least until you’re older – was the message pushed at a town hall held by the Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse at Ben Franklin Place on Feb. 22.

The town hall was part of a nationwide tour to educate those who work with teens on the findings from the centre’s new report entitled, The effects of Cannabis Use during Adolescence.

The report is a joint effort by the CCSA and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Panelists with expertise in neuroscience, medicine, youth development and psychology explained the key findings at the meeting.

“It’s about busting the myths associated with marijuana use,” said Dr. Amy Porath-Waller, director of research and policy for the CCSA. Porath-Waller added there’s a perception that marijuana use is benign, but research shows that early use and frequent, daily smoking can cause problems with brain development and cognition.

Nancy Langdon, an Ottawa Public Health manager, said the discussion is a timely one, as the feds consider major changes to the regulatory framework surrounding pot use in Canada.

“It’s good that we opened up the black box of the brain and had a look at some of the impacts,” she said.

After the panelists finished their talk, Ottawa Public Health hosted a brain storming session with professionals who deal with teens and young adults in their work.

Langdon said there was a good response to the questionnaires OPH handed out.

“It’s about supplementing the information we already use,” she said.

“The evidence is going to be compelling enough that we’re going to really try to move forward on delaying use of cannabis by young people and preventing it as much as possible.”

Dr. Sherry Stewart, clinical psychologist and professor with Dalhousie University,

said marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug among young people.

Statistics show that 11 per cent of high school students use daily, or nearly daily.

Another study shows that the number of students using grows from four per cent in Grade eight to 50 per cent in Grade 12.

Dr. Andra Smith, a neuroscientist with University of Ottawa, said during adolescence, connections in the brain are being made and efficiencies in the brain are being optimized.

Cannabis use can compromise these connections because it binds itself to receptors.

“The frontal cortex is the last part to develop,” she said. “It’s like the CEO of the brain. It’s responsible for high level function, decision making, organization and judgement.”

Smith added it provides balance to the brain functions and regulates things such as appetite, motor activity, mood, pain and the immune system.

That’s why the age that marijuana use starts is so important, she said.

If marijuana interferes with brain function, the result can be inferior reasoning and poor performance in school.

Porath-Waller said it also impacts your driving skills – despite what many youth believe.

A 2010 study found that the most common illicit drug found in traffic fatalities was pot.

Smith said the drug is often combined with alcohol, which can make a dangerous mix if the user is driving.

Aside from troubles at school and behind the wheel, Dr. Tony George, chief of the schizophrenia program for the centre for addiction and mental health, said that use of marijuana by teens can lead to an increased risk of depression and psychotic disorders.

“We know a lot from basic science that these compounds regulate emotion and mood processing,” he said. “It’s not surprising it would have outcomes on mental health.”

But Laurie MacEachern,

founding director of Medicinal Cannabis Patients Alliance of Canada Inc., disagreed with the panelists.

MacEachern, who suffers from fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome, said she was on 27 oxycontin pills per day, when she detoxed with the help of marijuana. Now she has been alcohol and drug free for the past nine years.

She said she ingests pot through a vaporizer, as well as by eating and making oils.

“I control my pain for about $300 per year,” she said.

While she said she understands some of the concerns around marijuana use among young people – she said she thinks the findings of the report may be a little alarmist.

“I finished Grades 10, 11 and 12 in six months with distinction while I was smoking pot,” she said. “But maybe I was a special case.”

Colette Rivet, executive director Canadian Medical Cannabis Industry, said much of the research about the effects of pot are examining the impact of what’s available on the black market.

She said the product sold by the providers she works for is heavily regulated to control for THC content, as well as things such as mould and fungus.

Langdon said the event wasn’t really aimed at dealing with medical uses for the drug, but rather use by young people.

“We aren’t saying that there aren’t medical benefits for marijuana, we just think it’s important to have the conversation about the impact on young people,” she said.

Langdon said with the federal Liberal government’s promise to legalize and regulate marijuana, the situation could soon mirror alcohol, which young people manage to purchase and consume even though it’s illegal for them to do so.

She said it’s a topic that will be covered on the OPH parent Facebook page and encourages more use of Cycles – a video about teen drug use designed by the University of British Columbia for people who work in support services for adolescents.

Recognize, reject and report fraud: OPP The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre are launching their annual Fraud Prevention Month public awareness campaign.

Every year, thousands of Canadians fall victim to fraud amassing losses in the millions of dollars.

“Whether it is vulnerable citizens cheated out of their life savings or young people stripped of their assets and forced to start over, the harm caused by all types of fraud is staggering,” said Vince Hawkes, OPP Commissioner in a news release.

“The money taken is used to fuel other illegal activities, causing further harm to society as a whole.”

Regardless of age, gender and location, everyone can take basic steps to better protect themselves from becoming victims of fraud. Some basic tips include never giving out personal information at your door, over the phone, through social media, or on

dating websites.

During the month of March, the OPP and its partners – the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Competition Bureau of Canada – will join police services across the country to promote public awareness to help prevent all Canadians from becoming victims of fraud.

This year’s OPP Fraud Prevention Month campaign focuses on five topics including: • Emergency/Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scams • Romance scam • Microsoft/computer scams • Phishing/bank website scams • Lottery scams “Fraud Prevention Month helps raise awareness about online and other frauds to keep people safe.

Frauds can have a devastating impact on its victims. They can strike anyone, but vulnerable Ontarians face an even greater risk,” said Yasir

Naqvi, Ontario Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. “I am pleased to join the OPP and other police services working together to raise awareness, educate our citizens and prevent victimization. They have valuable online resources in place and I encourage all Ontarians to learn the steps they can take to protect them and their loved ones from fraud to keep our communities safe.”

The OPP will be posting tips and links to various resources online. The public is encouraged to engage in the conversation to help them recognize, reject and report fraud on social media by using the hashtags #FPM2016 #DontBeAVictim and #OPPtips.

If you or someone you know suspect they’ve been a victim of fraud, contact your local police service, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or online at tipsubmit.com/start.htm.

There were more than 25,500 collisions between 2010 and 2014 due to distracted drivers. The collisions

resulted in more than 6,900 injuries and 18 fatalities, said police in a news release.

During the same time frame, there were more than 15,700 collisions due to speeding, resulting in 74 fatalities

and more than 4,200 injuries.

The selective traffic enforcement program is part of the safer roads Ottawa program and is committed to preventing and eliminating road deaths and serious injuries.

Cops 2.0: Ontario launches police modernization Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

The way police forces interact with members of the public could change following a planned update of the province’s Police Services Act. That was the message delivered

by Yasir Naqvi, minister of community safety and correctional services, last month.

Reducing encounters that result in incarceration or hospitalization is at the heart of the Strategy for a Safer Ontario.

The proposal foresees collaborative partnerships with health and social services, as well as modernized training, as keys to the improvements.

Province-wide consultations kicked off in February for what would be the first update to the act since it was written in 1990.

Naqvi said crucial lessons were learned during the Ottawa Police Service’s one-year Multiagency Early Risk Intervention Tables initiative, which sought better outcomes for vulnerable people when they interact with police.

“What we’re seeing in Ottawa with MERIT is a pilot, and what

Steph Willems/Metroland

Yasir Naqvi, minister of community safety and correctional services, announces the province’s Strategy for a Safer Ontario at the Taggart Family YMCA/YWCA. we’re talking about is making a practice across the province,” said Naqvi.

“This is a great example of creating a co-ordinated approach of early intervention – looking at chronic circumstances and instead of treating it individually, we’d work collectively to provide better services.”

The plan would create a model – backed by legislation – that would require communities to develop community safety and well-being

plans, as well as create situation tables like those used in MERIT. Naqvi’s ministry has funded numerous policing pilot projects over the past two years to gauge results and develop best practices.

“The results have been very compelling – very similar to (Ottawa’s pilot),” said Naqvi.

A framework for policing in First Nations communities would also be part of the changes.

The province’s policing initiative doesn’t exist in a vacuum,

however. Recent high-profile media coverage of policing troubles – including the Sammy Yatim case in Toronto – has illustrated a need for a different approach in dealing with the public. As well, horror stories about the continued lack of mental health resources for young people abound. All of these factors can conspire to create an extra burden on already-overworked jails and medical facilities.

“We’re looking at many different factors in our development of a strategy,” said Naqvi.

“In order for us to continue to have effective community-based policing, there needs to be a strong level of trust and respect between (police and public) … Some of the pillars we’ll be consulting on are around how can we better use technology in the way policing is provided? What changes do we need to do for training? How can we put more emphasis on deescalation before any kind of use of force?

“All of those elements are being considered as part of our consultation, to ensure that we really are putting forward a policing model … that is rooted in evidence we have now.”

When pressed on what form the police response would take in the event of a call involving a distressed individual, Naqvi referenced a now-permanent project in Hamilton that saw officers paired with social workers as an example.

“Whenever a call came in for a mental health crisis, that particular mobile crisis response unit … (was) able to use their respective expertise to help deal with the situation,” said Naqvi, adding that in the majority of situations the team encountered, the distressed individual didn’t need to go to the hospital.

“The challenge upon us now is how do we encapsulate all that information? What kind of legislative changes do we need to make to move forward with those changes, so that it becomes part of the way we do policing?”

Public meetings will be held in eight Ontario cities to introduce the initiative, with feedback accepted through the www.ontario. ca website. Ottawa’s turn to speak up about policing comes April 2, during a two-hour consultation held at the Ottawa South Community Centre, 260 Sunnyside Ave., from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Shirley Ann Brown (nee Dodd) died in her sleep on Tuesday, March 01, 2016. She was 83 years old and in the final stages of COPD. She lost her beloved husband John (Farmer) Brown in 1989 and lost touch with her remaining brothers Bryan Dodd (Ann), Barry Dodd (Lorraine), David Dodd and sister Roma Mason (Bill) and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by the late Dawna, Beulah, Betty, Gib and Ola. She spent the last 10 years raging against life; using every available vice she could find to throw at it. And in the end, still railing, I was the last one listening. She always told me that the truth would set me free and I searched for meaning in that statement’s profundity my whole life. I have yet to find my truth but these last few years have allowed me the opportunity to get closer to hers - the ravaging, isolating, complex, distraught, contradictory, distorted, unconventional version of it.

Ironically, her version has set me free. For it has taught me love - the deepest most unconditional kind and acceptance in the face of its uncompromising, unabashed ambiguity. May the gift of her truth guide me to my own with wisdom and clarity but until that day arrives with its glorious revelation, may she rest in peace, with hers, forever. We would like to thank the nurses and staff at Garden Terrace for their incomparable support and assistance. All donations can be sent to the Residents Council of Garden Terrace, 100 Aird Place, Kanata, ON K2L 4H8 A gathering will be held in Constance Bay at a later date to honour her life and her struggle to live it.

An amazing husband, father, father in-law and poppy who passed away far too soon on March 12, 2015.

Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear, Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps him near.

We love you always and forever.

Lyn, Sarah, Richard, Amanda, Kohl, Lily and Kate

Ottawa trips made for happy memories for Mary Aunt Vanetta, I thought, looked exactly like the Queen.

With a cloud of snowwhite hair, the bluest eyes I had ever seen, and so different from Uncle Johnny, I often wondered what they saw in each other.

With a bunch of other relatives, she lived at 129 Lyon St., all in separate apartments, and right next door to No. 2 Fire station. Goodness knows where everyone slept, because Aunt Lily and Uncle Dick and their son Richard, lived there too. I know all this because once we got the old Model T Ford in a trade, there was no stopping Mother from taking frequent trips into Ottawa and 129 Lyon St. How I loved to visit Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny. It was said amongst the family that Aunt Vanetta practically lived at the

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Catholic Church a couple blocks away. Rain or shine, she went to Mass every morning without fail. Family gossip also said Uncle Johnny never darkened the church door! He said Aunt Vanetta went to enough masses to bless the entire length of Lyon Street.

If we were lucky enough to be at 129 Lyon St. when she was going off to Mass (she often went in the middle of the day too), we were first treated to a lecture on the importance of being “once a Catholic, always a Catholic”, aimed directly at Mother, which didn’t sit

well with Father a staunch Lutheran!

It wasn’t above Uncle Johnny, who drove a huge steam roller for the city of Ottawa, to let out a string of swear words, for no reason at all. The only one who seemed to take offense, or even notice, was Aunt Vanetta. And her little hand would flutter to her chest to make the sign of the cross. When I was alone, I tried to do it too, but I could never remember if you touched your forehead or your heart first. And I thought it was very important to get every-

thing in order, or you’d get it from God! It wasn’t unusual to see Aunt Vanetta off in the parlour alone saying her beads, which I knew were called a rosary, while everyone else was in the kitchen sitting around the big oilcloth covered table. When the beads weren’t being fingered in her hands, they were kept in her spotlessly clean apron pocket.

I’m not sure if Aunt Vanetta thought there might be a flicker of hope that one of us from out there in Renfrew County would become Catholic, but one Easter, she presented the five of us children with our own rosary. Mother, once a Catholic, said, “Isn’t that lovely,” and Father vowed to never again darken the door at 129 Lyon St.!

Of course, that threat was short-lived. He liked Uncle Johnny, and I often

saw him laugh so hard that the tears rolled down his face at the jokes and stories told around that kitchen table. Father smoking his pipe, and Uncle Johnny with a big fat cigar hanging loosely from his mouth.

Often the big steam roller was parked in the yard beside the house, and it reeked of tar, and Uncle Johnny would let each of us country kids climb up behind the wheel, which was the biggest steering wheel I had ever seen, and he would start the engine just so that we could pull a rope that hung inside the cab. That tug would set off a horn that my sister Audrey said could probably be heard on the outskirts of Ottawa.

And I would think how lucky was my cousin Richard to live at such a house where there was so much excitement!

When it was time to head

back to Northcote, I would be very quiet in the Model T and relive all the excitement that swirled around 129 Lyon St. Aunt Vanetta and her strong faith, Uncle Johnny, who, when he talked, could be heard two blocks away, and the various cousins and aunts, all living together under one roof. It was like going to another world.

It would be many decades later that I saw 129 Lyon St. leveled to the ground to make way for a many- storied hotel, leaving me with warm and colourful memories of another time and another place.

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 Without your knowledge, you have made it to the top of a very influential person’s list. This can only mean good things for your future, Aries. Be proud of yourself.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Friends and family who seem meddlesome may have more noble motives, Taurus. Give these loved ones the benefit of the doubt and be glad they care so much.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a big project means you will be working with others in the week ahead. Put your best foot forward and be receptive of others’ ideas and suggestions.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you are full of energy this week, but for whatever reason you are still holding back. Don’t be afraid to unleash that energy and get to work.

Others will be impressed.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Mull an invitation before responding this week, Leo. You can find both pros and cons to accepting the invitation, and taking the time to consider it will ensure you make the right call.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a healthy sense of ambition will move a project along much more quickly than you or others had imagined. Once the work is done, you’ll have plenty of time to relax.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 A person from your past may come into your life, Libra. He or she stirs up old emotions, and you may need to take a step back in a current relationship. Think things over carefully.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your ambition is growing, but you are already beginning to feel overwhelmed. You may need to put the brakes on any new endeavors for a little while.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Any business transactions you make this week can have a lasting effect on your financial status, Sagittarius. This means carefully considering every purchase.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, expenses are piling up, and soon your stress levels may be rising as a result. You can use a dose of good news, and it’s coming this week.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Someone is rubbing you the wrong way, Aquarius. Just walk away and don’t let this person get under your skin. Taking the high road will serve you best in the long run.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of promise. Your energy levels are soaring, and you are poised to meet new people and make things happen.
