Trustees approve West Carleton school addition $7.8-million expansion expected to open in 2018 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The $7.8 million addition to West Carleton Secondary School is moving ahead after trustees approved the budget on April 26.

The expansion will feature 12 classrooms, a new gym, a drama and art room, as well as spaces for design technology classes and music.

"This is good news, no question

about that. We certainly need the space," said area trustee Lynn Scott.

"It’s really good that we’re going to see an end to some of this overcrowding because it's gone on for a quite awhile."

Once built, the addition will immediately be at capacity. The new addition will add spaces for 252 students for a total of 1,113 pupil places for the entire school.

Diefenbooker raises record $23,000 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The 20th annual Diefenbooker Classic broke fundraising records, bringing in more than $23,000 for local libraries in West Carleton.

Runners, walkers and cyclists came out in droves to support the Carp, Fitzroy Harbour and Constance Bay libraries on April 30.

The local branches were the true winners as the event raised a whopping $23,392 and saw 780 people

participate. “It was fabulous,” said committee member Kathy Fischer following the event.

“This year was a record in funds raised.”

She added the help of volunteers is always a key component and thanked the numerous people, businesses and organizations involved.

“Volunteers are the backbone to any community event,” said Fischer.

“Thank you to all of the people who gave time and effort in supporting the Diefenbooker Classic 2016.”

The school has 1,209 students registered, according to its profile on the Ottawa Carleton District School Board page. This means some of the school's portables will remain.

"One thing we’re very reluctant to do is overbuild," said Scott. "Ultimately, at some point, there is going to be another high school in north Kanata. It would be a real shame if we had a huge, huge high school in West Carleton and then when we built in north Kanata we found ourselves with a bunch of empty space.

"When you're doing these things you have to think about the long term and try to make as prudent a use of the funds available that you possibly can."

The school is receiving $6.96 million from Capital Priorities Grant funding and $850,000 from Educational Development Charges.

The project is expected to go to tender shortly once Ministry of Education approval is granted, said Scott. "As long as

"Doing a rural school is sometimes a little more complicated – we’re on well and septic for one thing, which makes a difference," said Scott.

Another complication includes building on ground that

has a high water table. The report states, "there will be some challenges with underground work which may add additional cost to the construction."

Scott said it can have an impact on pouring the foundation but "making sure there's proper drainage" would mitigate the issue.

If all goes well, the expected opening date for the new addition is January 2018.

“Jump on the ‘NO” train” Anxiety & Stress? upset and frustrated?

You won’t believe how many people are suffering from anxiety and stress. How many are upset and frustrated, but are trying to make the best of it!

While this is awesome, you’d think…it’s actually not!

By holding it “together”, we think that we are acting like adults. Funny enough many so-called “adults” are acting like robots, out of motives that don’t serve themselves nor anyone else. They actually only hold it “externally together”, the inside is screaming so bad that they have to find a way to ignore it. So, what’s better than being busy? Keeping busy all the time becomes the new motto in the hope that this inner screaming voice doesn’t show it’s ugly head today! And it might, or it might not. One thing is for sure….the longer we are living like this…the more we feel disconnected and alone…misunderstood… not loved…and worn down…your get the idea… and so the viscious cycle starts. What’s even worse is, that our intentions of being nice, compassionate and loveable fly out the window the moment something goes not as planned and we feel out of control.

There are two types of people…the ones that start loosing it in form of screaming and yelling or crying out of no reasons - well ladies…can relate to it? and the ones that just shove it all down, swallow it and become complacent about their life…and you know what that’s going to do to your sex drive!

The majority of anxietyt and stress can be eliminated right from the get go, if we’d be learning to communicate differently with each other.The moment I start talking about communication with someone, at the clinic or even personally, 90% of the people say: “I don’t want to have a conflict!” And wow…I can instantly feel their anxiety and stress being fired up.

That’s the stuff that kills people! This attitude will give you high blood pressure, besides many other things.

I’m dedicated to helping you…let’s change the way we look at things and “BE REAL” and “AUTHENTIC”

Voters get first taste of election system debate Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

The Liberal party pledged to change our voting system in time for the 2019 federal election, and the party appears keen to keep that promise.

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon has already tapped her constituents for ideas, sending out a survey in the mail asking what values voters want to see upheld in a new voting system.

Canada currently uses a firstpast-the-post system that elects the top vote-getter in each of the 338 federal ridings. In November’s election, only 131 of 338 candidates received a majority of votes in their riding.

The Liberal party got a majority in the House of Commons with 39.5 per cent of the national vote.

“We’re one of only three of the 20 most advanced countries to use first-past-the-post,” McCrimmon said at an open house on April 26 in Kanata.

The other countries are the United States and the United Kingdom. The other 17 nations use a mix of systems intended to reflect the overall vote, and Canadians can expect some kind of shift in that direction before the federal election scheduled for the fall of 2019.

“I truly believe we need a change,” McCrimmon said. “I don’t want first-past-the-post.

Just about anything would be

By a show of hands, more than two-thirds of the 125 people at the meeting agreed change is needed.

McCrimmon said Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. elect governments “that go from one extreme to the other,” while in Germany and the Scandinavian countries, the distribution of seats produces negotiation and co-operation.

“They put all their energy into going forward,” she said, “and we waste energy going from right to left.”

PAST LEGISLATION

McCrimmon didn’t come right out and say it, but it won’t

KITCHENS BATHROOMS

be a surprise if the Liberals undo the election spending changes put in place by the former Conservative government.

The number one preference checked off on McCrimmon’s householder survey, and picked by the people at the meeting, was reducing election spending.

She said a solution “may be as simple as rescinding the (Fair Elections Act)” put in place by the Harper government.

SURVEY RESULTS

Results of McCrimmon’s mailed survey of her constituents was shared at the meeting.

The survey provided people the chance to check off values they want to see incorporated in

a new electoral system. Respondents could check off as many boxes as they wished.

The process was unscientific and no direct correlation with the entire electorate can be drawn from them, but McCrimmon was able to employ them as a starting point for conversation. The results were: • Decrease election spending: 71 check marks • A system that encourages and rewards cooperation and collaboration: 65 • Direct representation: one MP to one riding: 57 • An element of proportional representation by political party common vote: 51 • Easy to understand and quick results: 51 • Provide independent candidates an opportunity to earn a seat: 50 • Includes an element of direct democracy: recall/plebiscite/ citizen generated motions: 49 • Reduce the power of political parties: 47 • A system that has a higher chance of creating coalition governments: 41 • A system that has a higher chance of creating majority governments: 22 • Regional representation: multiple MPs to a region: 17 • Increase the power of political parties: 8 • An element of proportional representation by gender: 8 • Increase election spending: 0 See CANADIANS, page 17

If you're suffering from nerve problems in the arms and legs, you’ll want to read….

How Patients Are Living Without Numbness, Tingling, or Sharp Pains Numbness, tingling, and pain is an extremely annoying problem. It may come and go...interrupts your sleep...and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times.

Maybe you've even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.

By using gentle techniques, I'm able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

Numerous people who suffer with numbness, tingling or sharp pains have chosen chiropractic's effectiveness in helping nerve conditions.

If You Do Nothing Else, Read This: Peripheral neuropathy occurs in about 5 millions of Canadians.

Peripheral Neuropathy is a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs. This painful condition interferes with your body's ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.

Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy. Read the full facts on this page.

More Pills Are Not The Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the 'take some pills and wait and see' method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, antiseizure mediations, and anti-depressants -all of which have serious side effects.

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

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

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves.

Within the first few adjustments I was able to have a full night’s rest.

The pain in my neck and arm has decreased significantly and the numbness is gone!” – Debbie, 36

What these patients know is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

Could This Be Your Solution?

It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution.

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

What does this offer include? Everything.

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

• A complete set of neurological scans.

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

• A thorough analysis of your exam and xray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• I'll answer your most probing questions about nerve problems and how chiropractic can help.

Until May 19, 2016 you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $39. The normal price for this type of evaluation,

including x-rays is $185, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer.

Call 613-832-3335 We can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening.

Our office is located just on Dunrobin Road beside the Post Office, just a few minutes from you. When you call, tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Nerve Evaluation so she can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Sincerely, Dr. Kelly Graham, D.C., BSc.(H.K) P.S. Remember, you only have until May 19th to reserve an appointment at this significant discount. Why suffer for years in misery?

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

P.P.S. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your arms or legs hurt – and the pain just won’t go away!

Joan and Don Moore accepted a room at the Central West Hospice in early October 2014 when a bed became available.

The couple moved into the residence that would become their home for the next five weeks with a little trepidation, but from the moment they stepped through the doors they knew they made the right choice.

“Don was home ... and I was taking care of him,” said Joan.

“But it got to the point that we needed help.”

The couple met more than five decades earlier following a dinner out with friends. After the bills were paid and it was time to head home, Joan’s friend offered her the back seat next to another fellow. Joan declined, opting to sit in front and she slid into the car next to Don. As the cliché goes, the rest is history. When you know, you know.

The two had been married two months shy of 55 years when Don passed away on Nov. 15, 2014.

Don was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006. He had all the treatments: an operation, followed by chemotherapy and then radiation. Things were on an even keel for a few years, said Joan, before a follow up found the cancer had moved into his bones.

Living in Carp, the Moores chose to move to Stittsville to be closer to the hospitals for treatments. They discussed their options. The Community Care Access Centre and their family doctor gave them information about Hospice Care Ottawa and the free services it provides for those with a life-limiting illness.

“Don was in and out of hospital so much, so much. They had spoken to us about getting him into hospice,” Joan said. “At first, he wasn’t very thrilled about that.

Then one morning he woke up and said, ‘You know, if there’s a bed I think it’s time I go to hospice.’” *** Hospice palliative care aims to “reduce the burden on the health system from unnecessary hospitalization for palliative individuals,” said Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan.

“Our mission is to accompany and support individuals and their families through their end-of-life journey by providing compassionate, high-quality care. All of our programs and services are provided at no charge to clients or their families.”

Hospice Care Ottawa currently has 19 beds – nine at the May Court Hospice in Old Ottawa South and 10 at Central West Hospice located in the west end – that provide free around-the-clock nursing care for people in their last days and weeks of life.

The beds located at Central West are a stop-gap until Hein House, the residential wing of the RuddyShenkman Hospice in Kanata, is built.

The goal is to get shovels in the ground on May 31, said Sullivan.

The only problem is the project is in need of $600,000 by May 31.

A $6-million fundraising campaign met its goal, but as the need continues to grow for hospice and respite beds, Sullivan said they decided to continue fundraising to build two additional rooms.

“This city could use 60 hospice beds and we only have 19,” she said, adding the government provides no funding for capital costs.

The average wait for a bed is three days but there are times when rooms are full and people have to be turned away, said Sullivan.

See WE NEED, page 7

BY THE NUMBERS: • 19: the current total of hospice beds available • 60: the estimated number of beds that should be available in a city of one million people, such as Ottawa • $600,000: funds needed to build two additional rooms (for a total of 12) at Hein House in Kanata • $460: the average cost per day for a hospice room in Ontario • $1,100: the average cost for an acute care hospital room in Ontario per day • 357: the number of clients who used the residential service in Ottawa in the 2015-16 fiscal year • 17: the average number of days a client spends in residence in Ottawa

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We need more, more, more hospice bedsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Continued from page 6

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building a place where we can provide the best services. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending money on an expense like this; we decided weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to build two extra rooms,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more cost-effective to add them now.â&#x20AC;?

The number of people using residential hospice care continues to climb: 357 clients used the service in 2015-16, while the previous year saw 290 individuals stay in residence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people would prefer to die at home but that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always possible,â&#x20AC;? said Sullivan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hospice provides a homelike setting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; families stay overnight, cook their own food but their loved one also receives 24-hour care.â&#x20AC;?

Which is why the organization hopes donors will step

forward to help finish funding Hein House. *** Jeannot Rodrigue spent four days in the residence at the May Court Hospice with his wife Mimsie by his side.

He died in June 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have just been such a compassionate understanding presence in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Mimsie, who lives in Old Ottawa South where the May Court is located. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was treated with such respect and dignity.â&#x20AC;?

Jeannot attended a number of the day programs, and after his passing, Mimsie used the grief counselling service for those whose loved ones have died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do anything to help you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; practical problems with care, or the psychological counselling,â&#x20AC;? Mimsie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you're healthy and well, you're just not aware of

the different services out there.

We were certainly plugged in at the right time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both for my health and for his.â&#x20AC;?

It was a similar experience for Joan and Don at Central West. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This wonderful facility took over the heavy care of my loved one, which allowed us to spend more quality time together and with family,â&#x20AC;? said Joan.

Instead of worrying about her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care, his medications and all the other details, Joan was able to just spend time with Don as his wife.

The hospice also followed up with her following Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hospice called me and said they were having a spousal (support) group,â&#x20AC;? said Joan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm not usually like that, I would never go to a group. But I was having a

hard time â&#x20AC;Ś I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I'm going to go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; There were nine of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seven ladies and two men. It was the best thing I ever did. I could let my hair down. One of the ladies I met there, we still keep in touch.â&#x20AC;?

The need for Hein House,

for more beds, is huge, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need more, more, more hospice beds for sure.

Hospitals do a marvellous job but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the same time to be able to spend (by the bedside). â&#x20AC;&#x153;In hospice if you need the care, someone just to sit and chat, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a

family atmosphere. You chat with other people in the lunch room. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very gentle atmosphere for end-of-life care.â&#x20AC;?

Start election system research now

T

he Liberal party made an election promise to change the way we vote, and the Trudeau government appears ready to keep that promise.

Our current system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first-past-the-post â&#x20AC;&#x201C; declares one winner per riding and ignores the other votes cast. It can leave supporters of the losing candidates wondering why they even bothered to vote.

A new system will almost certainly incorporate some form of proportional representation.

It could mean votes for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come first are still reflected in the House of Commons seats. Or maybe a two-part ballot would allow voters to first, pick a local MP, and second, vote for a party that would get seats in Parliament based on a percentage of votes received across the country.

In any case, voters would be more engaged, knowing a vote for someone other than a landslide winner could still have an effect on election results.

A positive sign is the public engagement already underway. Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon has already sent out a survey to her constituents and shared the results at a public meeting on April 26 that turned into a free-wheeling discussion of the pros and cons of different voting systems,

and the values voters want to see upheld in any new process.

If our voting system is going to change, better that the grassroots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; constituents from across the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have their say, rather than a top down decision be put in place. Because the possibilities are so varied, every Canadian needs to do their own research about the voting systems in other countries, and the myriad hybrid systems that could be put in place in Canada for the federal election scheduled for the fall of 2019.

Hopefully every MP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no matter party affiliation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taps their constituents to learn what they want in a new voting system. Those who might say such a change requires a federal referendum should remember the Liberal party just passed a litmus test; the party formed a strong majority government while promising to change first-past-the-post voting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair that there would be concern that the governing party might create a new election system that would benefit them the most. But there is a clear pitfall for the Liberals if there is even a hint of that; voters would punish a party if there is even a whiff of fixing the system to keep the party in power.

More than one way to celebrate Ottawa 2017

I

n recent days, attention has been paid to two issues that have an unlikely connection.

One of them is homelessness.

A report has been released by the Alliance to End Homelessness that shows progress but also demonstrates how much more needs to be done.

Homelessness has been a serious issue in the city for quite some time and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that the city has not made an effort. The report shows, however, that more people, and more families, are using shelters and that more than 10,000 people are on waiting lists for affordable housing.

The other issue is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preparation for 2017, when Canada celebrates its 150th birthday. There will be many stories about the 150th and you could get a bit sick of it by the time the actual year

rolls around. The most recent story concerns the organization planning local celebrations, with some people complaining that it is being more secretive than it could be. With all the publicity ahead, as the days to 2017 dwindle down, we may look fondly back on the days of secrecy, but not for now. There will be lots of hype, lots of promotion, lots of money spent on creating attention for Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part in the 150th and people would like to keep an eye on it, so that they can have a say.

So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example of having a say. Instead of spending a

ton of 2017 money on fireworks, mementoes, logos, cocktail parties, advertising campaigns, billboards, consultants, PR firms, poetry contests and official proclamations, why not aim for a project in 2017 that will do some lasting good?

Such as, doing something dramatic, decisive and significant about homelessness in the city.

Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that seem more interesting to you than more pointless pageantry, more corporate sponsored parties, more official perfumes, wines, pizzas and compact cars of the 150th birthday?

Doing more about homelessness in Ottawa would include more shelters, to be sure, and probably more outreach workers. But it would also include more training and other assistance to young people, who form way too large a percentage of the homeless.

And it goes without saying that the most important component of a 2017 attack on homelessness would be housing. Affordable housing has been shown to be the most effective weapon against homelessness, and the lack of affordable housing has been the greatest weakness in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to deal with it.

Of course, homelessness is not only the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. The province, which funds many of the programs that affect the level of homelessness, could help us celebrate the birthday, too. The city should insist on it. Perhaps it will help that we have a mayor with friends at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the private sector, which is already being counted upon to participate in celebrating 2017.

The barn cat drama continues In March, we came home from a Caribbean vacation to a mild winter day.

As I slid open the patio door, all four cats (two house cats and two barn cats that over-winter indoors) ran out into the melting snow. We didn’t see the barn cats again for three weeks.

I thought the season of the indoor feral cats, leaving mounds of fluff balls on the couch and tearing up the carpet as they race up the stairs was finally over. I was wrong.

Three weeks after he left, Junior came back. He dragged his sorry self into the house and sat at my feet, announcing his return with a plaintive wail.

He looked very thin, as if he had either found himself trapped somewhere with no access to food, or he had been ill. His fur looked matted and the shine was gone from his coat and his eyes. All the fur was missing from the back of his left leg, and the remnants of a nicely cleaned wound was noticeable there.

When I snuck over to pet him (he will only allow this if another cat is in between us and food is in front of him), I found another bald spot on his side and a wee hole in the top of his head. He had obviously been in a fight and done his best to nurse his own injuries before somehow finding his way

The other two cats, Sheila and Sammy, didn’t like the smell of him.

After a week or two of resting and fattening up, Junior went back outside. He returned at the end of April with what I thought was a broken paw. He held it up and limped around the house.

I was amazed that he could still get up and down the stairs and onto his favourite birdwatching perches and napping spots with three legs. He made it look easy, but painful.

I thought of how we used to splint the lamb’s legs when they got them stuck in the feeder or found themselves under the horse’s hoof. But the cat’s leg was much smaller. I didn’t think I had a splint small enough. Besides, this cat would have anything I constructed ripped off in no time.

OPINION Bill 100 does not force easements

Bill 100 ‘bad bill’: MacLaren

To the Editor: I wanted to take a moment to update you on Bill 100, the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act. Bill 100 has been referred to the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly, and we will be holding public hearings on the Bill.

The Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act is an opportunity to help protect and improve thousands of kilometres of the province’s trails network while encouraging its expansion As regular readers of this paper will know, there has been some discussion over what a trail easement does or does not do. To be clear, Bill 100 would not compel any landowner to provide an easement.

Despite support for Bill 100 by most Progressive Conservative MPPs, including Randy Hillier and John Yakabuski in neighbouring rural ridings, KanataCarleton’s Jack MacLaren is continuing to insist the legislation should be scrapped.

In his April 23 newsletter, MacLaren reported, under the title ‘Bad Bill Gets Go-Ahead’, that the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act (Bill 100) had passed second reading in the Ontario Legislature.

“This Bill will now proceed to committee as it continues its climb through the legislative process,” reported MacLaren. “Bill 100 provides that trail ‘easements’ across private property could be created and provides that dozens of ‘eligible bodies’ could have control of the ‘easements’.

“Bill 100 is a threat to private property rights. Bill100 should be killed.”

At the vet, I warned them that Junior is feral. They thought they were ready for him, but he surprised them.

When they opened his carrier he flew through their legs and slid across the floor to hide under the x-ray machine. They spent about half an hour chasing him around the clinic before they were

As currently drafted, Bill 100 would provide an additional way for landowner and trail organizations to enter into landuse agreements.

When our government was developing the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act, our ministry held consultations with over 250 organizations, including municipalities, aboriginal groups, trail organizations, landowners and not-for-profit organizations.

I look forward to continuing debate on this important piece of legislation, and look forward to hearing from the public in committee.

able to examine him.

All that running around burst the abcess that Junior was hiding between the pads of his paw.

The vet confirmed there were no broken bones. He got an antibiotic shot to last 10 days (no way he’s letting me give him oral meds twice a day after this), an anti-inflammatory painkiller and a good cleaning.

Once back at home, I opened the carrier and Junior took a spot between the two housecats on the couch.

They had a little conversation and decided he didn’t smell so bad after all.

And the upside of all this drama is that although he is still suspicious when he sees the cat carrier, he lets me pet him now. I think he is grateful for the human intervention.

The only problem is that now I think we have three permanent housecats. He’s afraid to go back outside. www.dianafisherbooks.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

Those clever wildflowers are back

When one thinks of clever animals, certain examples likely come to mind.

“Sly as a fox” is a clue to one of them. While “wise as an owl” might infer nocturnal birds possess a certain degree of acumen, owls are actually inferior to crows and ravens when it comes to intelligence and problem-solving.

Of course, cleverness is subjective, and assignment of that characteristic to any animal varies with the criteria used to assess it.

While we might deem

certain animals to be clever, rarely if ever is that term applied to plants. Yet, when one explores the world of plants, in particular the spring wildflowers, intelligence seems to come into play. For not only have spring wildflowers solved a problem that keeps most of their summer relatives confined to open, sundrenched habitats, they also have most cleverly prepared for the future.

Currently, the floor of local hardwood forests is coming alive with spring wildflowers.

Carpets of Bloodroot, Dutchman’s Breeches, White Trillium, Hepatica, Spring Beauty, Trout-lily, and others are springing up everywhere and painting our woods with various shades of white, pink, purple, and yellow.

The blossoms of Trout-lily stay closed on cloudy days, only opening when it is sunny and pollinators are flying.

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way But if you want to enjoy this spectacular show, you better do so soon, for the flush of floral beauty will not last long. In fact, soon after the leaves start opening on the trees under which these wildflowers - collectively known as the spring ephemerals - grow, their colourful blooms will vanish for another year.

The reason for their disappearance is simple. As is the case for most wildflowers, sunlight drives the food manufacturing machinery.

The food provides the

energy required to produce showy blooms, fragrant (but sometimes unpleasant) scents, and sweet offerings.

All of these serve to entice pollinators to visit wildflowers and facilitate pollination.

But sunlight only reaches the forest floor in spring, fall, and winter. Of those seasons, spring and spring alone offers conditions suitable for growth, which is why wildflowers growing on the forest floor usually bloom as soon as the ground is warmed sufficiently by sunlight not yet intercepted by tree leaves overhead.

But there are serious risks for being an early bloomer.

Late frosts can damage delicate floral parts and cold temperatures can deter pollinators from flying.

Without pollinators, seeds cannot be produced. That is why those cunning spring ephemerals have developed insurance policies for seed production.

Down below, sheltered under leaf litter, many spring wildflowers produce tiny

MICHAEL RUNTZ

One of our first wildflowers to bloom, Hepatica is pollinated primarily by Solitary Bees. flowers that never open. Like the above-ground blooms, these closed flowers contain stamens and pistils. However, they self-pollinate so that even during springs when it is too cold for pollinators to fly, seeds are produced.

During the weeks between blooming and seed dispersal, spring ephemerals produce and store food that will be used to fuel next year’s emergence. That food is stored in underground tubers, which

vary in size and shape. Squirrel-corn’s tubers are yellow and I bet you can guess what they look like!

By mid-summer the seeds of spring ephemerals are ready for dispersal. And here again, the wildflowers of spring employ remarkable cleverness.

However, that is a story for another column!

When Shawn Brown went to the eSight offices in Kanata for the first time, it was both incredible and painful.

The 34-year-old Barrhaven man was born with oculocutaneous albinism and has limited vision.

So when he first tried on the eSight eyewear, an electronic pair of glasses that help zoom in on images, he was really seeing for the first time.

“He was literally seeing the world for the first time in his life,” said his wife, Lissa Brown.

Shawn thought he was just going for a quick meeting to look at something he’d found on Google, and didn’t realize he’d actually get to put on the device.

“It was phenomenal, I was overwhelmed,” said the former Carp resident. “When I stepped outside, I could actually see a bird flying.”

That was the incredible part. The painful part was the price tag.

The device costs $19,500, and none of the cost is covered by insurance plans.

“It’s the most amazing and painful thing at the same time,” he said.

So it’s up to the Browns to fundraise for the

cost of the device.

He currently gets by with his iPad, and uses a special app to be able to film his son’s hockey games and then later zoom in to be able to see him play. The father of three would be able to be more involved in dance recitals and hockey games with eSight though, as the zoom and contrast options available will give him a near perfect view of what’s happening.

He will also wear the glasses for work at the Ottawa Hospital. He was previously an orderly, but is currently doing a temporary job in housekeeping.

The day after he tried on the device, he set up a GoFundMe page that has raised $3,500; another $3,000 in donations have come in outside the GoFundMe. CARP FUNDRAISER

The fifth annual Spring Fling fundraiser at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club will also help Shawn with funding for the eyewear.

“I’m so excited,” said Shawn, who graduated from West Carleton Secondary School and has lots of family and friends still living in the area.

“It’ll be a good time to go have fun.”

The event takes place this Saturday, May 7, and features pub food, raffles and prizes, and plenty of musical entertainment.

‘It’s like waiting for Christmas’ Continued from page 12

The fundraiser will split the proceeds between Shawn and Jakob Ruest, a young boy with a rare condition called CDKL5.

Shawn works with Jakob’s aunt at the hospital.

CDKL5 (which stands for cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5) is a genetic disorder that causes seizures and difficulties breathing. The majority of those diagnosed with CDKL5 can’t talk, walk or feed themselves.

Half the proceeds raised at the event will help Jakob’s family to purchase a special sleep activity monitor that helps caregivers maintain awareness of symptoms, according to the flyer for the event. The device also records data that could help research the condition.

Tickets for the Spring Fling, sponsored by Wanda Clark of Clark Premiere Properties, are $20 and can be purchased by calling Clark at 613-223-3310.

The Stittsville Lions Club is also lending a hand. The Lions made a $1,000 donation towards Shawn’s purchase at

“It’s people like Lions clubs and legions who are giving that gift of sight,” said Tara Bradley, clinical specialist with eSight.

Bradley and Tyler Moore, an eSight user himself, attended the Lions’ meeting on behalf of eSight’s Kanata office to explain the product.

The glasses contain a pair of screens which display high quality video from a camera at the front of the glasses. The battery-powered eyewear can automatically adjust contrast,

brightness and other settings to a user’s needs or preferences.

Moore said he wears his set for eight to 10 hours a day and is able to complete tasks such as shopping at a brand new store where he hasn’t memorized the aisles, which is something he couldn’t do previously.

For Shawn, he’ll be able to really see his wife and children’s faces clearly for the first time in his life.

“It’s like waiting for Christmas to come,” he said.

City considers asking province to allow civilians to direct traffic Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Jack MacLaren

Ottawa council may be asking the province to make changes to the Highway Traffic Act to allow civilians to direct traffic during special events or construction.

Police board chair Eli ElChantiry put forward a notice of motion at the April 27 meeting.

El-Chantiry said even though construction companies pay the policing budget, the cost is built into the bid for the project.

He estimates the city pays between $600,000 and

$700,000 per year on costs related to having officers direct traffic during construction or special events such as the Santa Claus parade.

Mayor Jim Watson said that with scarce dollars and little wiggle room when it comes to negotiating police officer salaries, municipalities are going to have to get creative.

“When I see an officer with a gun in full uniform that makes an average salary of $100,000 out manning a barricade on Bank Street during the Santa Claus parade, I think, that’s not a good use of a professional, trained police officer,” Watson said.

El-Chantiry said that special constables or bylaw officers could be responsible for directing traffic during special events.

He said with the city beginning construction on the first phase of light rail, now is the time to think about this issue.

Watson said the city needs to look at options.

“We could do better with auxiliary police, with special constables, and save a lot of money and at the same time allow our police officers to do real policing work and not really acting as barricade monitors,” Watson said.

While the city is attempting

to cut costs, El-Chantiry said part of the motivation is to get officers on the streets, doing what they’re trained for.

El-Chantiry said Toronto is also considering petitioning the province, adding they pay out roughly $1 million in additional fees as a result of paying officers for the service.

Watson said he was also going to bring the issue up with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi.

He said in addition to the city, community groups that host events requiring traffic control would also benefit from lower costs by hiring civilians to do traffic control.

Recently, the Ontario Government stopped funding for Intensive Behavioural Intervention (I.B.I.) treatment for children with autism when they reach the age of 5 years old. This is a devastating setback for families with children who have autism. I.B.I. treatment is the best and most effective treatment for autism. It has a permanent, positive effect on the ability of young minds to function at a higher level for the rest of a child’s life. However, the treatment must be applied early at a young age and it is very expensive- beyond the financial abilities of most families. This callous cut back will deny some children with autism the access to the I.B.I. treatment that they need. For this to happen to families and children who need help most is a great shame.

Canadians can expect ‘significant’ consultation: McCrimmon Continued from page 4

During the April 26 meeting, attendees were asked to add stickers to boards bearing each value, providing a different snapshot. The top choices in order of preference were: • A system that encourages and rewards cooperation and collaboration.

• An element of proportional representation by political party common vote.

• Includes an element of direct democracy: recall/ plebiscite/citizen generated motions.

• A system that has a higher chance of creating coalition governments.

• Direct representation: one MP to one riding.

TIMELINE

The public process in Kanata comes early in the

process of rewriting election laws.

McCrimmon said the multi-party committee that will assess options and make recommendations to Parliament is being formed now.

“There probably won’t be much news until summer,” she said.

McCrimmon said Canadians can expect “significant” consultation as the committee assesses options, and said the committee will hear from MPs who gather input from constituents, such as those in Kanata-Carleton. She said she plans to host another meeting on the subject of electoral reform in the fall.

In response to the discussion among attendees, McCrimmon said her preference is for a two-ballot system, with voters able to rank candidates.

She pointed to the failure

of electoral reform proposals in Ontario (2007) and British Columbia (2009), adding a new system is bound to be more complex than the simplicity of the current one-ballot, one-vote process. She said communicating options and changes to Canadians will be key.

“We’d better do a really good job of explaining it,” she said, adding that her party has a lot riding on the change.

“If people don’t like it, then people will not vote Liberal,” she said. We’re putting a lot on the line here. But ultimately it’s going to make the seats in Parliament more representative.”

prove the new process.

“People have a right to make a decision on it,” said Paul Godden after the meeting concluded. “As a Canadian, I demand it.”

The Kanata resident said he doesn’t oppose changing the first-past-the-post system, but wants a say in the change.

“For all its problems (with first-past-the-post), we do change governments. That’s what democracy is.”

Another attendee said he’s already leaning to one pref-

erence; a single-transferrable vote that’s cast within larger ridings, each of which elects multiple MPs. “I think the whole proportional representation idea is a very worthwhile exercise,” said Bob Abell.

Abell said a single-transferrable vote would mean constituents in a riding with multiple good candidates could send multiple good MPs to Parliament.

He used the example of the Ottawa Centre riding in

last November’s federal election, where Liberal Catherine McKenna defeated the NDP’s Paul Dewar.

“They are both good people, and with the single-transferrable vote, they could both get in (Parliament),” he said, adding voters will be more likely to end up with at least one MP they can talk to, “and speak the same language.”

McCrimmon plans to host another town hall meeting on June 5. Details will be provided soon.

Long days on the farm for father Mary Cook

Mary Cook’s Memories

Early in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs.

He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids to put in the kindling, I would waken. And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready.

The sun would be just rising when Father would head to the barns for the chores, re-

turning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the fields. Likely the binder would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before.

Our fields were long and narrow in the Northcote area, and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the West Hill, he was in another part of the country.

He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and fields. Grampa,

when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, “Albert is a true farmer.”

On weekdays, Mother would pack a lunch for him to take to the back fields. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take the 11-quart basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite a feast, I thought back then. And Father and I would share the lunch together.

See SUPPER, page 23

Supper without Father didn’t seem right During the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder.

My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores.

There was milking to be done, the barns to be cleaned out, calves and pigs to be fed, and fresh straw put in the stalls.

We would have our supper without Father these nights.

He would still be working in the fields. It didn’t seem right somehow, that he wasn’t sitting at the head of the table.

But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door.

My sister Audrey would have to say Grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father.

Although he wasn’t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasn’t part of our supper meal.

Long after we had eaten and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch for Father. I would first see

just a speck, and then I would see him coming over the West hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging behind them. I would watch his figure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound.

“He’s home,” I would yell.

Everett would get up and go out to the barn yard and take the team from Father, and feed them oats, and let them drink from the watering trough and then take them into the barn for the night.

And Father would come into the kitchen, covered with dirt and chaff, looking like he had rolled in a dustbin.

He would go to the bench at the back door where Mother would have put out a fresh basin of warm water. I would watch him splash the water over his face and rub it up his arms, and see the water turn black. He would reach up to the huck towel and dry himself off, and it would look like he didn’t have another ounce of strength in his body.

Mother would put a steaming supper before him, and I never knew whether I should sit at the table with him so that he wouldn’t be eating alone, or to leave him in peace. It never

mattered how ample was the meal, it couldn’t erase the bone-tiredness from Father’s body. I used to think a long day in the fields made him look much older than he really was.

At any other time of the year, Father would spend some time after supper reading the paper, with his feet resting on the oven door. But when he had been in back fields from daylight to dusk, it was all he could do to muster enough strength to plod to the bedroom, undress and fall into bed.

I knew without fail, the next morning there would be a repeat of what had happened the day before, and would happen many days hence.

Although I didn’t understand completely what the Depression really meant, I knew for us to survive it, Father would have to continue the back-breaking work of tilling the land and harvesting the crops, with machinery that had seen better days. And in my prayers at night, I would offer up a special prayer for Father, that he would have the strength to do what had to be done to keep the farm going, and to keep the Depression from closing in around us.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF COMPLETION St. Laurent Boulevard Transit Improvements (Industrial to Smyth) Design and Environmental Assessment Study The Study The City of Ottawa has completed a Design and Environmental Assessment Study for intersection and transit facility improvements on St. Laurent Boulevard from north of Industrial Avenue to south of Smyth Road. The project has three main components: • Reconstructing and expanding the Innes / Industrial / St. Laurent intersection to accommodate additional turning lanes and new cycling facilities • Reconstructing and widening St. Laurent Boulevard, within the existing right-of-way, to include a bus-only lane and a raised cycle track in each direction. The existing travel lanes will be maintained • Minor improvements to the parking lot entrance near Elmvale Terminal The Process The project followed the requirements for a Schedule “C” project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared and documents the project rationale, the evaluation of design alternatives, the recommended plan, anticipated impacts and associated mitigation measures.

The ESR will be available for a 30-day public review period from May 5, 2016 until June 6, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours:

Kicking off a new season of 4-H in West Carleton The West Carleton 4-H Community Club held its first meeting of the season Thursday, April 28 at the Galetta Hall.

The club voted on executive positions, choosing Kathryn Stanton as president, Alex Dean as vice-president, Kelsey Hill as secretary, Lauryn Rochon-Kaiser as press reporter and Kaitlin Cavanagh as the social media representative.

The members then split into groups of all ages to use only corn products to create a creative agricultural scene on a tray to be judged by leader Bruce Hudson.

The next meeting will be held Tuesday, May 10

at the MacGowan Tree farm.

Throughout the 4-H season, each member is required to complete either a livestock or field crop project, to be entered into the carp fair as an achievement.

There will also be other clubs such as ‘The Real Dirt on Farming’ club that will be offered this season.

It’s not too late to join in on the fun! Everyone ages 8 through 21 is welcome to learn more about agriculture.

Charms for charity Young Carp girl makes bridle charms to buy hay for therapy horses

us running and allows us to keep costs low for riders. Donations also enable us to feed the horses and pay vet bills and buy the special equipment we need.”

TROtt offers therapeutic riding to people with disabilities at a discounted cost. Riders pay $40 a class, less than half of what it costs to put a horse in the ring. The rest of the organization’s costs are funded through donations as it receives no government funding.

“We’re looking forward to this endeavour,” said Nepean’s Victoria Andrew, TROTT’s director of operations. “For every time a charm is sold it equals a bale of hay for TROtt.” And with 12 horses to feed, hay becomes expensive.

A young Carp girl is making and selling bridle charms for a therapeutic riding stable in Greely.

Eleven-year-old Erin Wormald started making charms a year ago and selling them to family and friends.

She decided to take it a step further this year and partnered with the Therapeutic Riding Association of Ottawa-Carleton (TROtt) to raise funds for the charity.

Every $10 Chestnut Charm sold pays for one bale of hay for a therapy horse, she said.

“We’re very happy to have (Erin’s) support,” said Fiona Kearney, TROtt program coordinator.

“Fundraising is what keeps

TROTT

The therapeutic riding centre sees an average of 55 riders a week and has about 150

volunteers who lend a hand.

Each class has one to four participants and the centre, in its 41st year, sees riders as young as three and up into their 70s take lessons.

Therapeutic riding helps people with disabilities develop muscle strength, as well as flexibility and coordination, said Kearney, who lives in Barrhaven. The instructors – all certified through the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association – work with each rider to set and reach specific goals.

Erin has been riding for six years after her doctor at CHEO (Children’s Hospice of Eastern Ontario) recommended it to help strengthen her knees.

Since then, she’s fallen in love with riding and horses have become her favourite animal.

The Grade 5 student at Kanata elementary French public school in Morgan’s Grant said she makes the

Erin has also partnered with Performance Horse and Rider, a shop located on the grounds of Wesley Clover Park where she rides, to sell her charms.

“I’m very proud of her,”

said Erin’s mother Linda.

“She’s enthused and thinking of more ways she can raise money for TROtt. She’s finding creative ways.”

taking a much more predominate position in people’s lives,” said program co-ordinator Daniel Bottiglia. “What we can provide these high-level athletes is course flexibility.”

The emphasis on training doesn’t erase the importance of education. Student athletes take part in morning classes as well as online and correspondence courses so they can train during school hours.

A minimum grade average of 70 per cent is necessary to remain in the program, said Bottiglia.

He checks in regularly with students to make sure they’re staying on top of their studies and to offer additional help (tutors, extra instruction) when needed.

“Academics is our absolute priority,” he said. “We consider our students as students before we consider them athletes.”

The French public school has a wide catchment area that includes West Carleton and transportation is provided for those who pass the interview process.

“Not a lot of people know this kind of program is available at a regular high school,” said Bottiglia. “Right now we have a lot of room in the program. It’s one of the benefits of getting in on the ground floor.”

PROGRAMS

The hockey class is on the ice twice a week, while those in the volleyball program are in the gym every day. Teachers who specialize in the respective sports instruct the classes.

Bottiglia, who coaches the Goulbourn Rockets atom girls team, also instructs the hockey program at the school. The emphasis of the program isn’t just on ice play but every aspect of the sport – from planning to dialogue to positioning and leadership.

“I want to develop hockey players who are conscious of the coaching aspect,” said Bottiglia, adding students have to create, execute and lead drills on ice. “It’s a really big thing, coaching. I hope through this experience they learn enough to give back to the community.”

Thanks to a partnership with Greco Lean and Fit in Stittsville, certified trainers lead the student athletes in intense circuit training every Thursday.

“The kids love it and hate it at the same time,” said Bottiglia, who takes the training class alongside his students.

“It’s rewarding and physically demanding and intense,” he said.

For students in grades 7 and 8, the school offers an exploratory sports program.

They receive a higher volume of physical education classes as well as experiences with a variety of non-traditional sports such as rock climbing, golf, fencing and cycling.

“We call it a pre-concentration,” said Bottiglia.

“Before you focus in on a sport we try to expose you to as many non-traditional sports as possible.”

OPEN HOUSE

The school, located at 17 Bridgestone Dr. in Kanata, is hosting an open house today (May

5) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. where prospective students and their parents can check out the amenities.

Those who are interested in the specialty programs are also invited to set up a tour anytime, said Bottiglia.

“I believe that our school offers an extraordinary program, which realizes the importance of our students being involved with sport and reaping the many benefits associated with a sports experience, while upholding the high expectations of academic achievement,” said Bottiglia.

“It’s too great an experience to keep it a secret.”

Sens to RendezVous at LeBreton Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators will join many other NHL teams with downtown arenas, after the National Capital Commission announced its owner's proposal is first choice for a new LeBreton Flats devel-

opment.

The plan – called RendezVous LeBreton – could begin construction on the 22-hectare site in three to five years, although Senators owner Eugene Melnyk would like to move sooner than that.

The Sens-backed pitch includes an 18,000-seat event

centre, an abilities centre – for athletes, including those with disabilities – and a community-use facility housing two ice rinks, called the Sensplex.

The proposal also includes multimedia installations, exterior holograms, commercial spaces, an affordable housing component and five distinct

neighbourhoods. Proponents estimate the anchors – the event centre, sportsplex and abilities centre – would attract more than five million visitors annually.

Melnyk wouldn’t say what will happen to the Sens current home in Kanata, but said the move will help attract spectators and players.

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

A weekly guide in legal matters

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

My husband and I are separating after three years of marriage.

The home we have lived in was mine prior to our marriage and it remains in my name alone. There is significant equity in the home.

I understand that our assets will generally be divided equally, but does he have any claim on the equity in the home?

It is important to understand the treatment of the matrimonial home upon a marriage breakdown. A matrimonial home is defined as “a property that…was at the time of separation ordinarily occupied by the person and his or her spouse as their family residence…” Therefore, in this case, your home is the matrimonial home for legal purposes.

Upon the breakdown of the marriage, the Family Law Act provides that the parties calculate the net value of their respective assets at the time of marriage and at the time of the breakdown of the marriage, and then equalize the assets that were accumulated during the marriage. One key exception to the calculation of net assets is, in fact, the matrimonial home – if one party brought it into the marriage, he or she does not get to claim it as their own asset for the purposes of equalization.

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.

We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.

Will MacEwen

Prior to returning to Ontario and joining Allan Snelling LLP, Will was the managing partner of a full service law firm on Vancouver Island. He is experienced in family law, commercial and real estate matters, and all matters relating to wills and estates. His practice has been serving the legal needs of business owners and professionals.

Many people consider this to be generally unfair. If a party owned an investment account, only the increase in its value would be subject to equalization. However, in the case of a matrimonial home, the legal presumption is that the equity in the property is to be divided evenly between the parties.

There are ways that parties can safeguard themselves in your situation. One way is through a prenuptial contract, and another is by selling the house prior to separation.

There are situations in which you can argue for an unequal distribution of assets – those depend very specifically on the facts of each case. A family lawyer would be able to advise you of your chances of advancing a claim for an unequal distribution in your favour.

Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in the Lets Talk 2 Town Hall event. With over 125 people in attendance, it was a great success and a great opportunity to be able to hear from the members of the Kanata-Carleton community. This lively event had an open discussion around the elements that residents of Kanata-Carleton want to see as the Government moves forward with implementing real change on the way all Canadians vote.

This week I had the great opportunity on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development to announce that the Government of Canada, through FedDev Ontario, is investing up to $750,000 in Martello Technologies to support its growth and innovation. This is a terrific example of a Kanatabased, innovative start-up business that is poised for growth and success. By supporting dynamic small businesses and providing them with the support they need, we will help create jobs and economic prosperity for Canadian families.

While the lane closures and adjustments to bus routes may be cause for a bit of shortterm stress, it will all be worth it soon. The City of Ottawa has declared the first phase of LRT on time and on budget.

Construction on the project has been ongoing since 2013. With everything running smoothly, it looks like the City will get its wish to have a major section of the downtown portion of the line finished in time for the 2017 celebrations next year. The remainder of the line is expected to open in 2018.

In total, the first phase of the Confederation Line will be 12.5 kilometres long, running from Blair Station to Tunney’s Pasture, including a 2.5 kilometre tunnel through the downtown core.

For residents of central eastern neighbourhoods like Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh, Manor Park and Lindenlea, the completion of Phase 1 means a quick and easy link to the rest of the city will just be minutes away. And soon, even more eastern Ottawa residents will benefit from light rail.

The City is now turning its attention toward

Rendering of the Blair Road Station, which will be the most eastern point of the first phase of LRT. CONTRIBUTED

Stage 2, which includes three major extensions of the rail line — west, south and east.

In total, Stage 2 includes another 30 kilometres of light rail and the addition of 19 new stations. The Confederation Line East extension will see LRT continue from Blair

Why not spend a little time at the beach?

An extended beach season officially kicks off on May 21 when the City of Ottawa’s beaches open to the public.

Earlier this year, City Council voted to extend Ottawa’s beach season by a week, meaning the beaches will stay open this year until September 5, for a total of 72 days this year instead of 65.

There are four public beaches throughout Ottawa — Britannia Beach in the west, Mooney’s Bay in the south, Westboro Beach in Central Ottawa and what is technically the city’s newest beach, Petrie Island, in east end Orleans.

In 1955, Petrie Island was purchased by Donat Grandmaitre, who turned it into a sand dredging operation which only stopped in 2003 when the area was transformed into the public beach we see today.

Well before it was turned into a public beach, though, a group of volunteers formed the Friends of Petrie Island (FOPI), an organization dedicated to ensuring the natural beauty, ecosystem and history of the area blends seamlessly with its recreational uses.

While the City of Ottawa maintains the public beach, FOPI is responsible for operating the picnic area and nature trails — there are about 7 kilometres of walking paths in the area, all offering nice views of the Ottawa River — and has also developed a series of interactive nature programs.

Road to Place d’Orléans, with the potential for another 3.5 kilometre addition to Trim Road.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2018.

By the time that wraps up in 2023, the City of Ottawa says 70 percent of residents will live within five kilometres of light rail.

AVOID CONSTRUCTION To ensure the fewest disruptions to your commute, the City of Ottawa is encouraging residents to access construction and traffic management information by visiting the City of Ottawa’s interactive traffic map at ottawa.ca, calling 3-1-1 and following the City of Ottawa’s traffic Twitter feed (@Ottawa_Traffic).

PETRIE ISLAND BEACH INFO Petrie Island Beach is open from May 21 to Sept. 5, 2016.

There are two public beaches on the northeast corner of Petrie Island — the North Beach (or River Beach) and the East Bay Beach.

Public parking is available from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. for a fee of $2 for five hours.

Lifeguards will be on duty from noon to 7 p.m. from June 18 through Aug. 28, 2016.

Public washrooms, change rooms, water fountains, a picnic area and a canteen are also on site.

42 West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 5, 2016

In a sprawling city like Ottawa, the choices of where to live are boundless. Many people pick east Ottawa and the communities that make up Orléans.

It’s no surprise. Wide, well maintained streets lined with desirable homes of all shapes and styles make east Ottawa a perfect place to call home.

Nestled along the Ottawa River, it’s a short 16 km commute from downtown. And with a growing population of more than 100,000 residents in communities like Cumberland and Gloucester, the Orléans area continues to develop with more schools, excellent shopping and sought after career positions.

With parks, playgrounds and the Ottawa River nearby, many people have chosen to live in the wide range of new housing built by some of Ottawa’s most popular and trusted builders. The new Avalon community, south of Innes Road, west of Portobello Boulevard and east of Tenth Line Road, is just one example of the many places to call home in east Ottawa.

There is a community to suit every lifestyle in east Ottawa and Orléans. Cardinal Creek, Fallingbrook, Chatelaine Village, Convent Glen and many others welcome families with schools and great recreational facilities.

The Elizabeth Manley skating rink at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex (formerly Orléans Recreation Complex is named for figure skater Elizabeth Manley who trained there and went on to win a Silver Medal in Women’s figure skating in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. It is home to the Gloucester Skating Club and the Canadian Academy of Skating Arts, well-known for sending skaters to national and international level competitions.

In east Orléans, The Ray Friel Recreational Complex has a public library, a high school, an indoor wave pool, exercising facilities, a physiotherapy clinic, a

sports store, a restaurant, two soccer fields and three skating arenas making it one of the main centres for recreation in Orléans.

For a taste of culture, the Shenkman Arts Centre opened in 2009 just east of Place d’Orléans. This multidisciplinary arts centre houses a concert hall, black-box theatre, several art galleries and studio spaces for both visual and performing arts.

For a quiet stroll, there are also several nature trails and paths throughout the area including the Bilberry Creek Trail and the Princess Louise Trail through which Taylor Creek runs with a beautiful waterfall near St-Joseph Boulevard.

Orléans Wood, north of Highway 174 toward the Ottawa River, east of Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard and west of Champlain Street and River Walk, east of Tenth Line, are popular areas where the convenience of city living meets the serenity of nature.

The commercial hub is the Place d’Orléans shopping centre, with over 175 stores just off Regional Road 174, the Queensway. Originally built in 1979 Place d’Orléans has expanded over the years and has attracted other business development along Innes Road between Tenth Line Road and Mer Bleue Road. Most recently, Trim Road on the eastern end of the area has welcomed new enterprises and services to complement and diversify the thriving commercial core.

The business community is supported by the Heart of Orléans Business Improvement Area (BIA), a not-for-profit Board of Management started in 2008.

The BIA helps business districts pool resources to promote and improve their area, and speak with one common voice.

The Heart of Orléans is committed to continuous improvements to make the district more walkable and bike friendly, and to keeping it clean and safe.

The BIA also hosts events that families can enjoy, making a vibrant community.

Avalon Encore

Minto Releases 4 New Single Family Show Homes Minto is excited to reveal four new Single Family Show Homes in the popular community of Avalon Encore. Nestled amongst green spaces, shopping malls, and schools, Minto’s Avalon Encore is the ideal neighbourhood for young professionals, families, and retirees at all stages of life.

Show Homes of Minto’s new designs first opened last year in Kanata’s Arcadia, and now the East end of the city can have its first taste of four never-before-seen spacious designs. The new Single Family Home designs have been extremely well-received throughout Minto’s Orléans, Kanata and Barrhaven communities, with more than 500 sold since their release.

The Show Homes: On 30’, 36’ and 43’ lots, these new show homes offer something for every buyer. The Kinghurst, a spacious 1785 sq.ft. home, is a contemporary two-storey house with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. With a large open concept design, a sunken foyer, second floor laundry, and a family-feel grand room, this home is ideal for families who want to live and grow together.

The Georgian is a larger design with 2339 sq.ft. of living space. This slightly more traditional two-storey home offers a two car garage, a large foyer, a mud room, and generous-

ly sized bedrooms. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the Georgian is a home for those in need of extra space.

The Stanley Show Home is slightly larger with 2450 sq.ft., 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This design offers three unique elevations which allows for a more eclectic curb appeal.

The Marquette, the largest of the four Show Homes, is a stately home with 3242 sq.ft. This traditional design comes complete with a breakfast area, a den, and a formal dining room. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, the Marquette also comes in 3 unique elevations. With plenty of space to grow, buyers are guaranteed to fall in love with this forever home.

Flex Plan Options: The new Single Family Show Homes represent Minto’s mission to design and build homes that families want and need. These new models are an example of a better use of space and easy-care finishes. The new designs include a variety of rich colour palettes along with many elevation models to best fit the buyer’s needs and personal taste. From modern to traditional, contemporary to retro, the Minto design team, along with KISS Design, has thought of it all.

Plenty of natural light offers bright living spaces that welcome you home each day.

Minto is especially excited about their new Flex Options. Once you purchase your home, you have the opportunity to sit down with a design expert at Minto’s new Design Centre and choose options for your home. Perhaps you want four bedrooms instead of three; maybe you’d like custom-built shelves in the mudroom, or you maybe you’d like a finished basement. All of these options, and many more, are available as an à la carte plan.

Minto has been crafting homes for over 60 years, and their beautiful designs are enjoyed by more than 80,000 happy homeowners. Minto is constantly exploring innovation in their new homes and communities to provide customers with greater sustainability, lifestyle and design, while maintaining affordability for today’s families. Minto’s proud legacy in Ottawa means offering a home, community and lifestyle for any family, at any stage of life.

For more information on the new Show Homes please visit www.mintoavalon.com.

Location: Minto began building Avalon in 2000, and sold out of homes on the east side of Tenth Line Road in 2015 which prompted the expansion on the west side of Tenth Line Road, now known as Avalon Encore. To date, nearly 5,000 homes have been sold in Avalon and Avalon Encore.

Conveniently located at Tenth Line Rd and Brian Coburn Boulevard, Avalon Encore is also easily accessed by the Queensway, and you’re only a 20 minute drive from downtown. With many OC Transpo bus routes and the new LRT expansion plans, your commute is easier than ever. Within a few minutes’ drive or even a short walk, you’ll find everything you may need, including pharmacies, restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and even expansive green spaces.

A little something for everyone

There’s plenty of park space in this Garden City suburb. ISTOCK OTTAWA EAST

History, beaches, urban or suburban all in one ’hood Jen Traplin Whether you’re looking for a home close to the centre of it all or something on a quieter, suburban street, Ottawa’s eastern neighbourhoods offer a little something for everyone.

Just minutes outside of downtown Ottawa is the beautiful Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward, home to popular neighbourhoods like New Edinburgh, Manor Park and one of the country’s earliest planned communities, Lindenlea, which dates back to the early 1900s.

According to the Lindenlea Community Association, the neighbourhood was designed to “be the Canadian prototype of a trendy British planning idea of the time, the Garden City suburb, a neighbourhood with curving, tree-lined streets

and quiet cul de sacs, plenty of park space and tennis courts.”

There is also plenty of Canadian history in neighbouring New Edinburgh, which is home to 24 Sussex Dr., the official residence of the Prime Minister, as well as Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General of Canada. There are also a number of embassies and consulates in the area.

On the eastern outskirts of the city is Orléans, one of Ottawa’s largest suburbs. Located along the Ottawa River and less than 20 kilometres from the downtown core, the population of Orléans has gone from just 6,000 people to well over 100,000 in the past 40 years.

The area is home to one of just four public beaches in Ottawa, Petrie Island, and will also benefit from the Stage 2 LRT project, which will include new stations at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc, Orléans Boulevard and Place d’Orléans.

connecting Orleans to the rest of the city is Regional Road 174. The area is heavily serviced by OC Transpo and contains four Park and Rides — Jeanne d’Arc, Place d’Orleans, Trim Road and Millennium Boulevard — and Stage 2 LRT includes an extension to Place d’Orleans Shopping Centre. Residents of Manor Park, Lindenlea and New Edinburgh are serviced by a number of major OC Transpo routes and will have easy access to light rail when the first phase of Ottawa’s LRT construction wraps up in 2018. hoods within the Central East ward of RideauRockliffe only contain two schools — Manor Park Public School and Rockcliffe Park Public School. All of the wards’ remaining schools are located south of Montreal Road. Orleans is home to seven high schools — two English Catholic, two French Catholic, one French public and two English public. The majority of the elementary schools are French.

options in Orleans. The large Place d’Orléans shopping centre boasts more than 175 stores and conveniently sits at the edge of Highway 174. There are also a number of big-box stores along Innes Road, between Tenth Line and Mer Bleue, and along Trim Road. While there are a handful of stores along Beechwood Avenue in New Edinburgh, the busy ByWard Market, located just minutes away, offers a wide variety of unique shops as well as the recently redesigned Rideau Centre.

beautiful Shenkman Arts Centre, a multidisciplinary arts centre includes a concert hall, art galleries and studio spaces. The suburb is also home to two popular recreation complexes — Bob MacQuarrie and Ray Friel — as well as the Petrie Island beach. After nearly 30 years in business, the New Edinburgh Pub, a local institution and popular evening destination on Beechwood Avenue, is now closed. A new Royal Oak will soon be opening in its 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 Things seem to be in high gear this week, Aries. Others around you are just as boisterous, and it may even seem manic. Exercise a little extra patience to get through.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have been hiding something and it’s time you let your feelings out in the open this week. Pay attention to how others react to the news.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 If you crave adventure, Gemini, then it could be time to host a party or see if friends want to go out on the town. Staying home mulling over all of the options will get you nowhere.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This week’s contradictory cosmic energy will not help you when making decisions, Cancer. It is entirely up to you and your gut instincts to make the right decisions.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, do not ignore the inner voice that is trying to tell you to take life more seriously. It can’t be all fun and games. Buckle down at work and set a plan into action.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Circumstances beyond your control will make work a little more stressful than you had anticipated, Virgo. Bide your time and soon the week will be over.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, no matter how hard you try to get yourself heard, others just aren’t ready to listen. Perhaps you have to try a new approach to making your voice heard?

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may find yourself in trouble this week because you keep on starting new things without finishing others. Pretty soon you will have a list of unfinished business.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Restlessness can get the better of you this week, Sagittarius. Just don’t jet off on some spur-of-the-moment trip to try to channel your energy. You have things to handle first.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Finding yourself in the middle of a sticky situation has you trying to discover a solution to a complicated problem, Capricorn. You might need to distance yourself for a little while.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A disagreement with a friend or family member could turn your schedule upside down for a little bit, Aquarius. You’ll get back on track soon enough and resolve your issues.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, getting your finances in order will take more than balancing your checkbook. It might be time to make some cuts and follow a budget.
