St. Isidore certified platinum eco-school by jake davies

jake.davies@metroland.com

There were some dirty jobs to be done, but the students of St. Isidore Catholic School rolled up their sleeves, got to work and helped make the school a certified platinum eco-school. St. Isidore has been an Ontario eco-school for several years, but 2017 is the first time the school has been certified platinum (certification ranges from bronze to platinum). On Monday, June 26, St. Isidore principal Caroline O’Connor hosted a full-school assembly to congratulate the students on their achievement. Ontario eco-schools’ mission is to nurture environmental leaders, reduce the ecological impact of schools and build environmentally responsible school communities. To be eligible for platinum certification a school must have been certified five years previously with no more than a one year gap between certification; certified at the gold level for at least three of those years; and be certified gold in the year prior to the platinum application. To achieve platinum certification, schools must submit a platinum yearly planner; meet the minimum requirements for gold level certification; complete the platinum section and achieve a minimum of 20 out of 25 available points; and receive a site visit. “The goal is to nurture enviro-leaders, which is all of you guys,” teacher Krista Philip told the school. “We’ve never achieved this before, we are now a platinum eco-school. This is really exciting for St. Isidore, but it also means the hard work is just beginning for us so we can stay a platinum certified school.” Schools are judged based on conserving energy, recycling, waste free

lunches, planting trees and native plant species, raising awareness of climate change, using reusable water bottles, walking to school and addressing environmental issues. There are roughly 3,500 registered ecoschools in Ontario. Following the congratulations, students were superexcited to here they would be given an extended recess as reward for their hard work. St. Isidore boasts both a recycling club and an environmental club. Those clubs were the leaders behind the initiative to become an eco-school. But it wasn’t all glory. One of the jobs the club participants did was a garbage audit. “I remember searching through the garbage,” Grade 3 student Harriet McDonald said. “We wanted to make sure people weren’t throwing out the wrong things. It was disgusting.” The students also conducted energy conservation audits; they made cards for all the light switches reminding others to turn the lights off; and decorated 1,000 paper bags to encourage use and reuse. They also collected 5,000 plastic bags destined for the landfill. “When they are recycled, they get stuck in the conveyor,” Grade 3 student Katie Bastien said.

Yoga and wine together at KIN Vineyards By John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

YogiWino’s Yoga @ the Vineyard series is coming to the KIN Vineyards at Carp. This series, which brings wine lovers and yoga enthusiasts together at local vineyards, is focused on three words. Sip — for tasting a selection of world-class wines at local wineries; Stretch — for enjoying a yoga class; and Socialize — as you do this all with a group. A Yoga @ the Vineyard event includes a one-hour, all-levels yoga class, a sampling of three world class wines and time to take in the sunset as you wander about the vineyard. Yoga @ the Vineyard will be at the KIN Vineyards in Carp on Thursday, July 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and then again on Thursday, Aug. 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. These are both part of a summer series that includes 12 such events stretching from May 25 through to Aug. 31. Vineyards involved in the

series include: Vignoble Clos du Vully in Navan, Jabulani Vineyard in Richmond, Smokie Ridge in South Mountain and Domaine Perrault in Navan, as well as KIN Vineyards in Carp. YogiWino also holds a winter series of such events combining yoga and wine. Last February, for instance, it held a yoga and wine night at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club on Carp Road featuring the KIN Vineyards wines, with almost 50 people attending to sample the world-class wines, practice yoga together and enjoy a candlelit evening. You don’t have to be experienced in yoga to attend a Yoga @ the Vineyard event. These YogiWino events aim to introduce yoga to those who perhaps never dreamed of giving it a try or who always assumed it was not for them. All you need is a yoga or exercise mat. A large beach towel will also work. Clothing should be comfortable, allowing a person to move freely and unwind. YogiWino is run by Janine Hogg, a

registered yoga teacher and mother of two. She is on a mission to cultivate an unexpected love affair between wine and yoga. YogiWino is Canada’s first business to host exclusive events that pair an affection for fine wines with a love of yoga. Tickets to these events are limited and tend to sell out quickly. For more information, visit www.yogiwino.ca or email info@yogiwino.ca.

What matters to you? And, even more importantly perhaps, what matters to you as a rural resident of the City of Ottawa? This will be the focus of a community conversation for West Carleton residents about City of Ottawa social services that will take place on Tuesday, July 11 at 7 p.m. in the board room at the Kinburn Client Service Centre. Organized by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, this session will give rural residents of West Carleton an opportunity to highlight issues that matter to them. This input will be used by the Community Resource Centre in preparing its submission for the city’s 2018 budget as well as in preparations for the upcoming municipal and provincial elections in 2018. Any West Carleton residents who are interested are urged to attend this July 11 session to help identify issues that are important from the perspective of West Carleton. This is an op-

A key question that will be discussed is what city social services matter to residents of West Carleton and specifically where are the gaps in service. This session will deal with the following: reflect on how city services or their lack is affecting the well being of the West Carleton rural community; recognize that residents can have an impact on city decision-making processes; prepare to have an impact on the city’s 2018 budget as well as the upcoming municipal and provincial elections; and identify city social service gaps and possible solutions. The meeting is being held on Tuesday, July 11 at 7 p.m. at the Kinburn Client Service Centre.

Funds still available for flood relief From page 1

Another major issue is the garbage. Huge amounts were created due to basements flooded with water that took several days to be emptied. During the early stage of recovery, the city was picking up garbage every day. While daily pick-up has ended, ElChantiry says there is no limit placed on what can be put on the curb for flood-affected residents. “Garbage pick-up has been a major task,” he said. “It’s not a good thing to have to look at. We’re very flexible on that. I’m grateful the city has been so

helpful with the garbage.” El-Chantiry said the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority is helping out as well. The MVCA has reduced its retaining wall permit fee from $250 to $25. “People loved that idea,” El-Chantiry said. “Those who lost their retaining wall can apply with the city and may be eligible for some funding.” He recommends anyone who may still have flood issues or questions should contact himself or call the city’s help number at 3-1-1. When El-Chantiry revisits the di-

saster, there is one thing that sticks in his mind. “For what took place and the damage that happened, I am so grateful for the volunteers,” he said. “Even if you called the military, I don’t think they would have done a better job. But volunteer effort is nothing new in West Carleton.” El-Chantiry says volunteer work is finished, but city work continues. “Ditch work is continuing, there is some contaminants in there,” he said. “There’s more work to do, but that’s city work, not volunteer.”

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is conducting research in the vicinity of its hydroelectric generating stations on the Ottawa River. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates and Bowfin Environmental Consulting, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel and lake sturgeon mitigation studies for these species at risk. Kleinschmidt and Bowfin boats may be in close proximity to the shoreline as they complete day- and nighttime fish abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This annual research is conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and in accordance with O. Reg. 242/08 (as amended by O. Reg. 176/13), under the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Work will continue until the end of September. Please visit opgbiodiversity.com to learn more about OPG’s biodiversity programs.

Ottawa Senator Daniel Alfredsson (centre) will have to wait at least one more year for his call to the Hall of Fame. The fan favourite was not selected in his first year of eligibility.

Alfie not in the Hall yet by brian Dryden

bryan.dryden@metroland.com

The most beloved Ottawa Senator of all-time will have to wait at least another year before the Hockey Hall of Fame shows him the same level of love that Senators fans have for years. This year was the first time that former Sens captain Daniel Alfredsson was eligible for selection to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Unfortunately for the former hockey star and current member

of the Ottawa Senators’ management team, Alfie, as he is affectionately known by Sens fans everywhere, didn’t make the cut when the 2017 Hockey Hall of Fame class was announced Monday afternoon. Instead, Hall inductees for 2017 were the Finnish Flash Teemu Selanne, also in his first year of eligibility, Paul Kariya, Dave Andreychuk, Mark Recchi, Team Canada women’s Olympic star Danielle Goyette and hockey

builders Clare Drake and Jeremy Jacobs. Alfredsson, who played for the Senators for all but the final season of his storied National Hockey League career, played 1,246 regular season NHL games, compiling 1,157 points in those games. He also recorded 100 points in 124 career playoff games. He was also a key member of Swedish hockey teams at the Olympics and the world championships over the years.

Letter: Let’s celebrate Canada Editor: I really am disgusted with the “non participation” to celebrate our country’s 150th coming up this Saturday. Have I travelled more than most to see how other countries are run with police with rifles in banks and hotels, and on the streets in general? I don’t think so! Be thankful we are as peaceful as we are! Yes, we have incidents but in general we are pretty free to come and

go, and not worry about being thrown in jail over our political views in public or otherwise. Get with the program (there’s lots of promotion items to choose from) and show your spirit of appreciation. I suggest you match my flag at the gateway which is 36 inches by 54 inches. Celebrate and smile while you can in this great country of ours! Penny McNeely Carp, ON

OPINION

Connected to your community

Celebrate Canada’s glory July 1

C

anada’s 150th birthday is a time of celebration, but don’t ever think that this achievement was easy. The Fathers of Confederation had great dreams back in 1867, but these were not enough to ensure success as a nation. Over the ensuing years, the country has met challenge after challenge — the Riel Rebellion, two world wars, the Depression, the Quebec crisis, to name but a few. Canada has come through it all, and has grown to be acknowledged as one of the most inclusive and free countries in the world. When asked what best describes Canada, our health care system is frequently mentioned. But it is not the health care system itself that defines Canada. It is simply the product of Canada’s most enduring traits — a desire for everyone to be treated fairly, equally, and with respect. The health system does this. These traits pervade Canadian society. That’s why refugees have been welcomed here. That’s why gay, lesbian, and transgender rights are now a fact of life in our country. That’s why multiculturalism is prevalent in Canada, in sharp contrast to the melting pot concept in the United States. Of course, Canada is not perfect. More needs to be done for mental health. More needs to be done

in helping the homeless and the working poor. And more needs to be done to reach reconciliation with indigenous peoples. While 150 years of nationhood for Canada is cause for celebration, our indigenous neighbours in this country have a history not of hundreds but of thousands of years. Theirs is a tradition and lifestyle that deserves respect and admiration, not the prejudice and disdain that has prevailed in past years. It’s time for the resolution of the country’s indigenous relationship so that we can all go forward in mutual respect and equality. There is much to be proud of in Canada. Any list of recipients of the Order of Canada reveals a myriad of accomplishments, from medicine to entertainment to sports to high tech to the creative arts, and more. Yet, many recipients are relatively unknown to their fellow citizens. That’s just the Canadian way. Do something, do it well, and do it with little fanfare. July 1 this year, though, is a time to break this mould, at least for a day, and celebrate Canada and all its achievements over the past 150 years. Canadians are a hard working, good-hearted, generous, respectful people. This is Canada’s strength. This is Canada’s glory. This is our Canada. Happy Canada Day!

Enjoy the fact that Canada is 150 and a democracy

E

xperienced news media consumers know that we like nothing better than to spoil your fun. There is not a happy occasion that comes without cautionary words. A particularly creative example of this was in the newspaper the other day, an article about how summer can make you sad. Turned out the article was in a British newspaper and perhaps summer is different there. The sad part, according to the article, comes from the fact that you have to watch your friends having fun while you’re not, or you have to watch your friends leave for exciting vacations while you’re stuck in town. So watch out for that. Plus, the article doesn’t even mention all the bad things the summer sun can do to you. You can add this to the list of warn-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town ings about other pleasurable events in all seasons. Christmas, as we all know, is problematic because we overeat and overdrink. Music festivals, as we were warned the other day, are rife with dangerous drugs. Boating is fun but watch out for the water. And don’t forget about all the perils of play structures. With this in mind, we have a different way of looking at the approach of Canada’s 150th birthday: stay hydrated and don’t forget the sunscreen. Of course, if you were of a mind, you could apply the warning label apVice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182

8 West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 29, 2017

proach to our nation as a whole: Canada, while seemingly a free and pleasant place, can make you sad. Canada is cold. You could freeze, or your car could. Canada has a vigorous sporting life but you could get hit with a flying hockey puck. In the autumn, Canada’s trees change colours and can be quite beautiful but you could hurt your back raking them up. This is not a problem that affects countries that have no trees. Canada is cursed with trees. Canada has two languages but you might not be able to understand the one being spoken to you at any particular time. Canada is plagued by mosquitoes, wasps, bears, black flies, cougars, raccoons and, um, leeches. Canada is multicultural which means there are parts of town where you can’t get a decent grilled cheese sandwich.

So you should celebrate carefully. Always keep a bucket of water handy and some sand. Canada is located right next to the United States. That could be a problem. Also, some of your friends might be leaving for exciting vacations in the United States and that could make you sad. When the snow melts in the spring that could make you sad because your basement floods. Canada’s health system is the envy of many in the world but it costs the earth to park at the hospital. Sad. All that being said, it is our duty to note that some Canadians insist on ignoring the many warnings and just carrying on as if calamity did not lurk around every corner. Canada, in fact, has some people who are cheerful, optimistic, confident about the future, happy with their lives and keen to celebrate.

There’s probably a warning to be found in there somewhere, if you look hard enough. Just in case you don’t want to, you can enjoy the fact that we’re 150, and a democracy. There’s not a lot of countries that can make that claim.

Fury feed off energy created at inaugural School Day Game by jake davies

jake.davies@metroland.com

The inaugural Ottawa Fury School Day Game was a unique experience for area school kids and Fury players alike, in a crucial 1-0 victory over Orlando. The 11 a.m. kickoff was scheduled to accommodate a crowd of more than 7,500 loud school students bused in from Kinburn, Carp, Orleans, Kanata, Blackburn Hamlet and all points between. It was the earliest start a lot of Fury players had prepared for in quite some time. “We probably fed off their energy, for sure,” midfielder Jamar Dixon said after the game. “I haven’t played a game at that time in years, probably never. The last time I played that early was when I was their age, playing in weekend tournaments. It was a shock, but it was definitely good, they were definitely the 12th man for us today.” Dixon played his youth soccer with Ottawa St. Anthony’s and the Gloucester Hornets, before university where he played for the Xavier XMen. He has spent his past two years with Ottawa Fury FC. He says the Fury will no doubt improve the development of youth soccer in the area. “I think what OSEG has done, they’ve actually changed the development of football in the city,” Dixon said. “We needed something like this, in order for kids to want to play soccer, want to come and watch soccer. So I think they’ve done a great job. You see it today, all the kids are so happy, they didn’t stop making noise for one second, so it was great to see.” Dixon subbed in for Carl Haworth in the 59th minute and had some extended play time in front of his hometown crowd. Haworth was returning to the field

It was his first game of the season, and he looked sharp in 61 minutes of play. He felt the school day game was a great time for a return. “It was cool, it was awesome, the

kids were fully involved from warmups to the final whistle,” Haworth said. “It was a good atmosphere and we thrived off of it.

Fury players, coach call school day game a uniqe experience From page 10

Above left, Ottawa Fury player Ryan Williams high fives a sea of palms following a 1-0 victory at the team’s inaugural School Day game held June 20. Below left, Big Joe poses with some very excited Earl of March students. Coach and general manager Paul Dalglish, as well as a few players, said he has never been part of such an event during his time in soccer.

I was chomping at the bit to get out there.” Captain Lance Rozeboom, an American midfielder with a young child of his own, says he can’t remember the last time he played a pre-noon game “Their energy was great to be honest, you never know how it’s going to be with kids. They were screaming, they gave us a lot of energy. It was weird, I don’t know. I haven’t played an 11 a.m. game in a while. So, you don’t know how it’s going to go. “But it was a fantastic atmosphere out there. It’s great stuff for the organization, OSEG, to do that.” Coach and general manager Paul Dalglish called the game a unique experience and was happy to be a part of it. “Brilliant. For me, that was awesome,” he said. “I think this was a wonderful idea. It’s not something I have ever seen done before, coming from a European football background. But I think it’s absolutely awesome. We have this big stadium. This is the best game in the world, and let’s get as many kids here to watch the games as often as possible. “We have the youth program, where any youth soccer program participant can watch any Fury game for free. But now we’re getting any kid who came in today to watch the game, and for me it’s just awesome. This is part of what we try and do here at OSEG, is try and be an asset to the community, and we saw that in abundance today.” The Fury had a dominant first half against the Orlando City B. Late in the half, Haworth found forward Steevan Dos Santos six yards out for the only goal of the game. The three points puts the Fury in sixth in the Eastern Conference after 13 matches. The team has been strong at home lately with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at home during USL matches.

Mayor’s Report

Fighting the opioid crisis: a community eFFort By: Mayor Jim Watson For some time now, the City of Ottawa has been facing a serious public health crisis in relation to the misuse and overdose of opioid drugs. Statistics show that each year, 30 opioid overdose related death happen in our city. The recent emergence of illicit fentanyl as a drug filler puts even more people at risk for overdose. Illicit fentanyl is much more toxic than other pharmaceutical opioids and because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible to the naked eye, there is no easy way to know if drugs have been cut with fentanyl. A very small amount can cause a fatal overdose. With tragedies already tearing our communities apart, it is clear is that we must work with community partners on a responsive multi-faceted opioid strategy. Over the last few months, there has been an important dialogue between municipalities and upper levels of government on how best to coordinate efforts that will lead to a reduction of overdose deaths across Canada, including Ottawa. The Province of Ontario recently announced new base funding of $350,000 for Ottawa Public Health (OPH) to directly support our local substance misuse strategy. The Province also announced the distribution of almost 80,000 additional naloxone kits, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, per year to front-line organizations. We know what access to naloxone can save lives. In the last year, 160 pharmacies have collectively distributed more than 4,000 naloxone kits in Ottawa alone. The city is facilitating training on how to respond to an overdose using naloxone for staff and volunteers at Ottawa’s shelters, downtown bars and festivals. Additionally, firefighters at all 45 fire stations in the City of Ottawa have recently completed training on how to administer naloxone and all City of Ottawa fire trucks now carry naloxone on board. We are also preparing for Ottawa Police Service members to administer naloxone when needed. But we must also tackle the roots of this crisis. Through public education, drug enforcement, and by providing better access to affordable housing, mental health support and clear pathways out of poverty, we can make a significant difference. Ottawa Public Health has been at the forefront of the fight on the opioid crisis. Last November, its Overdose Prevention and Response Task Force (OPRTF) launched a collaborative public education and awareness campaign called StopOverdoseOttawa. ca. Since its launch, this site has recorded over 25,000 visits. OPH is also engaging with all four Ottawa school boards, the Ottawa Police Service, Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services, and Maison Fraternité, as well as student leaders, to develop a youth-to-youth approach to better engage our youth. Through of age-appropriate presentations to Grade 4 to 12 students, we have reached close to 6,000 students and provided invaluable information on the risks of opioid use and misuse. I am confident that our shared goals and collaborative efforts will translate into a decrease in drug misuse and overdose in time. More information about counterfeit pills, overdose prevention, naloxone and local treatment resources can be found at www.StopOverdoseOttawa.ca.

City seeks middle ground on coach houses By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The future of coach houses in rural Ottawa comes down to finding balance. The city is seeking a middle ground, allowing residents to have a secondary dwelling on smaller privately-serviced properties, while ensuring the concentration of septic systems doesn’t cause health problems. City staff have unveiled a series of proposed modifications to coach house rules that came into effect last October, to give rural residents on septic systems and well water more flexibility. “What we’ve done is probably as far as we think we can go in terms of opening the door, making it easier, reducing the burdens in terms of requirements that would have to be met and allow these things to move forward,” John Smit, the city’s director of economic development and longrange planning, said during the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee meeting on June 1. Some of the proposed rule changes include allowing coach houses, which are small, detached dwellings, on privately-serviced lots as small as 0.65 hectares (rather than the current 0.8 hectares, which meets provincial policy). Exceptions for anything smaller will have to be considered by the city’s committee of adjustment. As well, staff are offering to waive some paperwork – part of the site plan process – for lots that are smaller than this new recommended minimum lot size, and for those on municipal water. But some members of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee say the changes don’t go far enough, and asked staff to go back to the drawing board to see what more can be done by September.

“I’m not really comfortable,” said West-Carleton March Coun. Eli ElChantiry. “I’m not hearing a lot of comfort coming from our residents about what you propose. It doesn’t look like we are helping them keep their parents or their kids on the same property.” Likewise, Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said common ground must be found, and soon. “Instead of making it easer for residents, we’re trying to put more regulations,” he said. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said it will come down to finding a balance. “It’s trying to find a solution that addresses the concerns, that doesn’t add further burden,” he said. The softening of the rules offers rural residents a glimmer of hope. “What I heard today was heartening,” said Klaus Beltzner, a Manotick resident and recent past-president of the Manotick Village and Community Association. “I think we’re going in the right direction.” Several lots on Manotick’s Long Island are smaller than 0.65 hectares, which means a coach house would trigger the need for an exception from the city, a process that can be “fairly onerous or potentially onerous,” Beltzner told the committee. He appealed to the committee and staff to further streamline the process, and to make any recommended changes easy to understand. “What these represent are really barriers. People are not going to want to go through that process just to get an opportunity for their loved ones to live on the same property,” he said. “Just because we’re rural we shouldn’t have additional regulations.” Adding a coach house and hooking it up to the property’s septic sys-

tem could create problems for lots located close together. The worry is the concentration of nitrates in the soil caused by septic system discharge, which can contaminate well water. Adding a coach house raises this risk on smaller lots. “Any failure of (septic) systems in that area could lead to an increase in that nitrate level, which is a concern for water contamination,” said Moffatt, who chairs the rural planning committee. Another barrier is the type of septic system technology currently used that is costly and takes up space, but which is required by the city and provincial policies. New technologies have helped on Constance Bay waterfront properties, especially during recent flooding, El-Chantiry said. “Some new technology we need to open our mind about,” he said, adding that the city is stuck on policy dating to the 1990s. The rural planning committee learned there are other systems available that are efficient, don’t take up much space, are environmentally safe and already meet standards in Canada and the U.S. Carlsbad Springs resident Caroline Daigle learned her 0.185-hectare lot will be used as a test case, beginning this summer or fall. She successfully appealed to the committee for permission to relax the rules and allow her family to convert an existing shed into a coach house for her mother and install an Envirolet composting toilet. “Rural residents should not have to conform to the same rules and regulations as suburban and urban residents,” Daigle told the committee. “It is unfair and will effectively reduce the ability of rural residents to have a coach house realized on their property.”

Volunteers are backbone of peer support program by jessica cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Volunteers are the backbone of the peer support program at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. The program, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and recently awarded an Attorney

General’s Victim Services Award of Distinction, is all about women helping other women who have left or are in abusive situations. Many of the volunteers are survivors of abuse themselves. In an effort to prevent more women from needing the violence-against-women services offered at the centre in the future, peer supporters Phyllis Powell and Terry Longhorn helped de-

velop and implement school-based programs for middle and high school students. “Like we say in the classrooms, we don’t want to see you,” said Longhorn, who’s been a peer supporter since 2005. “We want ourselves out of a job. We don’t want to see you in the shelters, or your friends.” The statistics still point to one in three teenagers experiencing some form of relationship abuse. In a classroom of 27 students, the probability is that nine will experience some form of dating abuse. “Those stats haven’t changed,” said Powell, a peer supporter since 2004. “If you don’t know the difference between what’s healthy and what’s unhealthy, you don’t know.” Which is why the two women talk to hundreds of students every year. The healthy dating and relationships program, for Grades 7 and 8 students, and an annual poster contest for high schoolers start conversations around behaviours while working to break down myths and gender stereotypes. It’s also about giving youth the tools needed to recognize unhealthy behaviours and the strategies to support someone who may be experiencing dating abuse. “A healthy relationship is based on both people being able to be themselves,” said Powell. “To (be) as equals, to have their own interests, their own friends. They continue with their activities, their education. And what they are doing is respectful, there’s co-operation between them. You compromise.” A partner who uses isolation, power and control – enforcing rules about who someone can

see, where they can go, what they can wear or say – and masks it in the guise of love can be very confusing for youth. “We do tell them that your relationship will begin and it will be wonderful and it will be great and you wouldn’t go into it if you knew it would be unhealthy,” said Powell. “But that’s the beginning of it. It’s being aware of when little things begin to creep in that maybe you’re not happy; it begins to make you feel strange. It’s all of those things that can be mistaken as somebody caring for you when in fact it’s not somebody caring for you.” Since 2008, Powell and Longhorn have spoken to thousands of area students. This year alone they’ve presented to more than 1,000 youth in schools and other youth-based organizations. And their work seems to be paying off. When the two peer supporters speak with older students, many have already participated in the Grades 7 and 8 programs. “The message is getting out there. They’re beginning to use the vocabulary,” said Powell. “If all this time we’ve spent going out there, one person gets it, it will be worth all our time.” For more information on the peer support program and the violence against women services offered at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, visit wocrc.ca/programs/ violence-against-women or call 613-591-3686.

Medal haul for West Ottawa Ringette teams Playing in first-ever National Capital Ringette League year-end tourney Special to the Review

West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) teams won three gold medals and two silver medals at the first-ever National Capital Region Ringette League (NCRRL) year-end regional tournament. In the past, the NCRRL season has ended with single-game elimination playoffs, but this year the NCRRL finished its season with this first-ever regional tournament. That’s where five WORA recreational teams won medals, namely three gold and two silver. Winning gold medals were the WORA U9B Wild Magic team, the WORA U10 Wild Tornadoes team, and the U12 McGaraughty team. Silver medals were captured by the WORA U9 Fireballs team and the WORA U12 Wild Things team. The U19B Behm team, the U16C Baker team, the U14A Moore team, the U14B Backman team and the U12 Hoekstra team all placed third in their divisions in the tournament. The WORA U16B McMinn team placed second in round robin play but lost out in semifinal play. The WORA recreational teams played in the NCRRL at the U8 novice level and above. Most of these teams also enter a few tournaments throughout the season, both local and away, including their own West Ottawa Tournament which takes place in late February. Throughout the season, a number of WORA recreational teams advanced to tournament finals, capturing gold, silver and bronze medals. WORA, which draws players from Stittsville, Goulbourn, West Carleton and Kanata, offers a fun ringette experience for both recreational and competitive players from ages 4 to 18 years old, ranging from a learn-toskate "Bunny" program to AA provincial level teams. This means that there are ringette programs for all skill levels, with the season running from early October to the end of March. Beginning players under the age of seven start in the Bunny program, which is a learn-to-skate program that also teaches basic ringette skills as the players progress. The Bunnies are on the ice once a week for an hour. They do not play official games but may participate in scrimmages with Bunnies from other ringette associations throughout the season. The WORA Bunnies ended the season with a fun “Bunnyfest” tournament which was hosted by WORA at the Jim Durrell Arena in Ottawa. 16 West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 29, 2017

Canada 150 We will soon celebrate the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Dominion of Canada as a constitutional monarchy. Monarchy in Canada goes back even further to the founding of New France, more than 400 years ago. But our constitution is even older than that. All our rights and freedoms, as well as our duties and responsibilities, reach back 800 years to the signing of Magna Carta in 1215 – which is the foundation of every successful democracy in the Western world.

We can be proud of the ancient rights and responsibilities of citizenship, together with the history, symbols, and institutions that give us our identity. But we must remember that freedom isn’t free. We must remember those who have fought for Canada both at home and abroad – whether in heated debates in Parliament or on the battle fields of Afghanistan, Juno Beach, or Vimy Ridge. So today let’s cherish our values and traditions while honouring our freedoms and responsibilities, and let’s keep building a better, stronger Canada!

LPGA pros flock to south Ottawa club for Canadian Open by Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club community in August. “I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored championship. Canadian golfing legend Lorie Kane, who will also compete, took part in the event preview, which included a friendly skills competition. In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been rede-

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Happy Canada Day As we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, I would like to thank all those who have done so much for our country and our communities. I hope you’re able to spend the day with family and friends, and enjoy all that it means to be Canadian: being kind, welcoming and thoughtful. I look forward to seeing you and your family at one of the many events that we have here in Kanata-Carleton. Thank you and I wish you all a very happy Canada Day. National Aboriginals Day I was honoured to attend the Sunrise Ceremony celebrating National Aboriginal Day at the Canadian Museum of History. This is a day for all of us to honour the unique and remarkable cultures, contributions, and traditions of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. Those present were welcomed to the museum with a traditional smudging. The event began with a blessing to the earth and all creatures that inhabit it. What followed was an important message imploring all of us to seek the harmonies that unite us, not revile the differences that sets us apart: to treat all people as equals. This very powerful message is one that we should all embrace. Let us all work together to create a more respectful, understanding, and compassionate community. Door-knocking It was great to engage with the Katimavik community by knocking on doors this past weekend. I had a great team with me and together we were able to hear from the community about issues that mattered most to them. I was happy to receive great feedback and I want to thank all those who took the time to chat. I will be knocking on more doors throughout the summer and I hope to see you in your neighbourhood soon. Events in the Riding Now that the summer has arrived, I like to spend my time away from Parliament Hill to attend all the different events taking place across the riding. I enjoy meeting the residents of our communities and would encourage people to come up and introduce themselves. This past weekend I started off my Saturday by visiting the Constance Bay Community Market and finished the day at the St. John’s Anglican Church Annual Lawn Supper. From visiting the booths of hard-working local producers to taking part in an annual lawn supper now in its 94th year, I’m always grateful of the invitations from the people of our great community. Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all. Please feel free to contact our office at 613-592-3469 or by email at Karen.McCrimmon@parl.gc.ca. Please follow me on Facebook at karenmccrimmon.ca.

Tourney to raise funds for CHEO specialty lab From page 19

joined by Kane in a skills competition, during which they chipped balls at targets to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the 2017 Canadian Women’s Open’s charity of choice.

YOUNG CHEO STAR

A star of the press conference, flanked by Henderson and Kane, was Kanata’s Zander Zatylny. The CHEO cardiac patient was born with a rare congenital heart defect in which there is just one heart blood vessel, restricting blood flow. “It means so much,” Chrystal Raymond said of her seven-year-old son’s role as the 2017 Women’s

Open child ambassador. Zander was born with truncus arteriosis, as well as a hole in his heart that was corrected during his first open-heart surgery when he was just 22 days old. A second operation followed when he was one, and stents were inserted at age two to ensure unrestricted blood flow. His last operation was in September. “He’s had eight stents in his heart,” Raymond said. Zander returns to CHEO’s cardiac catheterization lab every six months for check-ups, more often if intervention is needed. CHEO pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Suzie Lee, said funds raised through the national championship

tournament and Canadian Pacific’s heart charity campaign will help the hospital upgrade its cardiac catheterization lab and also allow it to serve radiologists. The lab is home to specialized X-ray equipment, and is where catheter wires and tubes can be inserted in patients’ veins to diagnose or repair heart problems. “Our lab is aging and technology advances,” Lee said. “The newer labs available will be able to give us as good imaging or even better imaging with less radiation dose, particularly for our smallest patients.” Kane took the opportunity at the press conference to challenge Ottawa to help raise $2 million through the tournament and the rail company’s charity campaign. At age seven, Zander may not yet realize the full impact of his role as the young face of CHEO’s specialized lab, but his parents know how important it is to share his story. “That’s what we tell Zander,” Raymond said. “We said, ‘Because you’re trying to help raise this money you’re not only helping yourself, you’re helping

t wasn’t a wise decision on Mother’s part. Sending me and Emerson to pick chokecherries together was not a good idea. Emerson, older than I am by six years, spent most of his spare time trying to make my life miserable. Behind Mother’s back, of course. “You know, don’t you, you can choke to death if you eat a chokecherry and drink milk at the same time,” Emerson said, as we headed out with our little honey pails for the cluster of trees strewn along the fence of one of our back fields. Well, I didn’t like milk, so my chance of coming to an untimely death in such a fashion was pretty remote. But Emerson kept up a steady chatter about how dangerous it was, and he knew for a fact that one young fellow from the Barr Line dropped in his tracks and all it took was a couple of chokecherries and a sip of milk. Of course, he couldn’t come up with a name. We reached the bushes flushed from the heat of the day, and started picking the fruit. It was easy to just grasp a loaded sprig between your thumb and finger, pull gently, and the whole cluster would fall into the pail. So, it didn’t take long to fill the three honey pails ... mine, Emerson’s, and the one tied to his braces. All the way back to the house, Emerson kept talking about the fatal effect of eating a berry and drinking even a sip of milk. Well, I didn’t believe him for one minute! My brother had a special talent for dreaming up schemes, many of which were planned to scare the living daylights out of me, but I was pretty sure Mother would never expose us to such a danger in the first place, and I told him so. “I don’t believe you for one minute, Emerson Haneman,” I said as we neared the backyard. Emerson put his pails down on the ground and hurried into the house and soon came out with a tin cup, which I was pretty sure was cold water from the ice box. “You don’t believe me? Well, you just watch this, and you better be ready to call Mother so she can get a call into Dr. Murphy, because you’ve seen the last of me.” He took out a handful of chokecherries from one of the pails, tossed them into his mouth, and said, “This is milk ... now you just watch.” I screamed for him to stop just in case what he had been saying all along had a grain of truth in it. But it was too late. Down the hatch went

MARY COOK Memories the chokecherries, and then he took a big gulp of the milk. He rolled his eyes into the back of his head, made the sign of the cross (he wasn’t even a Catholic), and fell on his back to the ground. I prodded him with the toe of my running shoe, and he never moved. I started to say the Lord’s Prayer, and stopped short of making the sign of the cross just in case it would have an adverse affect since I was a Lutheran. Nothing! Emerson never moved a muscle. He was dead all right. There was no doubt about it. And I was completely responsible, for not believing him! I ran to the kitchen door and screamed for Mother, but my sister Audrey said she had gone to Briscoe’s General Store. Through my sobs, I told Audrey what had happened, and she came out to see our brother who had just taken his last breath, sprawled on the grass by the pump stand. She didn’t even wait to pump up well-water, but took the tin cup off the nail-hook, dipped it into the watering trough, and dumped the whole lot right onto Emerson’s face, who had yet to stir a muscle. Well, that brought him to life in a hurry! He was as mad as a hatter, and, as was his habit, he would kick anything within distance when he got riled up, he was looking for something to put his boot to. Audrey had the common sense to grab the two pails of chokecherries, I grabbed mine, and we headed into the house. Emerson soaking wet, with water dripping down his face, still insisted eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time could kill you, vowed he was near death, and the only thing that saved him was worrying about what Mother would do to me when she found out I was responsible for the demise of her favourite son. That was the last I ever heard of the danger of eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

he farm is a retreat for city people. It’s a place to try out your new rubber boots, go for a hike in the forest and get back to nature by feeding a cow an apple. At our farm on any given Sunday you can fill your belly with home cooked food and nourish your soul with good conversation and the love of family and friends. When we first started hosting family dinners on Sunday we made it sort of a command performance for our girls. It was a “be there or be square” kind of a thing. They had to have a really good reason not to attend. As they got older and had work commitments, we occasionally had to excuse one or another of them and they also started to bring boyfriends home around the same time. Our gathering grew in numbers. Our musical daughter brought starving musicians home to dinner. Well, they likely weren’t starving but they did appreciate a good home cooked meal. And to be honest, most of them were pretty thin. And vegetarian. And you know what they say — “don’t feed the musicians” — we joked that they kept coming back for the free food but we were the real winners in that deal. Many

The Accidental Farmwife Sunday sunsets were accompanied by acoustic guitar singalongs on the back porch, with multiple harmonies. I remember thinking we were really lucky that our family wanted to spend each Sunday with us. The Farmer is a creative, experimental cook and other guests bring special contributions to the meal. No one leaves hungry. But I think it is far more than the food and good company that motivates family members young and old to make the trek out to the O’Neill Road at the end of each week and the start of the next. I think it’s the farm. If we lived in a small bungalow on a street in town, there wouldn’t be the same draw. The farm has an appeal all of its own. People don’t just come to see us and to eat our food. They come to see the farm. They come to smell the honeysuckle on the fresh, sweet air. They come to hear the geese honking their way up the creek at dusk. They come to watch the cattle return to the barnyard, single file on a

crooked diagonal path across the pasture, mooing in unison. I do believe we get a bigger crowd when they know the baby will be here. But like everything else on the farm, she brings you down to earth, demands your undivided attention and helps you to appreciate the simple things in life. The Farmer and I were married on the farm ten summers ago, and we host a big farm party every year, in addition to our weekly dinners that average 18 guests and our Easter and Thanksgiving gatherings that top out around 43. We have accumulated the trappings of hospitality that make these events easier. He built a threeseason room that accommodates a sixteen-seater picnic table made by his uncle Bob. We have been gifted serving trays and utensils, extra place settings, dishes, glasses and mugs as well as chafing dishes (I didn’t even know that was a warming plate before I met this man). We have the extra folding

tables and chairs, eight table cloths, 24 cloth napkins and cutlery for 45. But still I don’t think it’s the fact that we are set up for this sort of thing that makes people gravitate to the farm for their special occasions. This weekend we celebrated the lives of two very special women on the farm. My uncle came from Florida and his late wife’s family came from Calgary, Quebec and Toronto to celebrate her life in a memorial service. He wanted to have it on the farm because he knew it would be comfortable, casual and meaningful. He knew this because he had attended a memorial service for his brother on our farm two years ago. We also celebrated my mother-inlaw’s birthday on the farm this weekend. We had about ten people more than we expected but we were able to accommodate them with a bit of shifting and adjusting. Lorna’s shortterm memory is deteriorating and the crowds confuse her but she seemed to understand what was going on and appreciated the festivities. She even had a piece of cake, which she is allowing herself to do a lot more often these days. She understands that life is too short to pass up cake on a special occasion. Or to miss another gathering at the farm. Email: dianafisher1@gmail.com w w w. t h e a c c i d e n t a l f a r m w i f e. blogspot.com

Huntley Historical Society seeking information special to the review

The Huntley Township Historical Society is on the hunt for some specific historical information. A member of the Alexander family is trying to find out where her great-great-great grandparents immigrated from in Ireland. She has checked the 1851 census and has found that both William and Robert Alexander had sons named James. She believes Robert, born about 1804, was her great-great-grandfather. He apparently was born in Ireland but she cannot find the name on any passenger list arriving in a Canadian port. Information is also being sought about the mills of Carp. This includes the mill on Donald B. Munro Drive, one of two mills that apparently were in Carp. The Carp Flour Mill was operated by Mac Anderson at one time, while another mill was operated by Leslie Armstrong across from the current West Carleton seniors residence. The Huntley Township Historical Society had some luck in finding out more about cattle drives in Huntley, which were mentioned in a recent Society newsletter. John Shackleton has provided this description of a cattle drive in Huntley and he should know as he participated in it. His account of the cattle drive is as follows: “Since the editor mentioned a cattle drive in the newsletter, I thought I should elaborate a little. The Caldwell’s, Eber in my day, owned a piece of property, 125 acres of bush on the Old

Almonte Road just west of the fifth line, now Manchester Road. There was 100 acres on the right side of the road and a triangular 25-acre piece on the left. The area was called Pinch Hill and I have no idea why. Here they used to pasture their young cattle, one and two year olds. Perhaps there would be 15 or so heifers any given year. To get them there from Caldwell’s farm on the corner of the third line, now Stittsville Road and March Road, they were driven south down the Stittsville Road to McGee’s Sideroad and west up to the bush lot. It was quite an

undertaking involving the kids, Allan and Scott Caldwell and my brother Bud and myself, two cars and perhaps three or four adults. The Caldwell’s had a 1940 Chevy and we had a 1029 cloth top Model A Ford. The job of the kids was to run ahead and block any roads or laneways to keep the cattle on the road and not in some neighbour’s yard or field. This was a little difficult for the first bit because the animals would be fairly frisky at first but would soon slow to a steady walk. There would be one car ahead and on behind. The adults were Eber, my father Roth-

well or whoever the hired help was at Eber’s. It could have been Hugh Blair, Fred Beckett or whoever else was there. There were very few cars on the road which was gravel from Rug Rivington’s gate to Stittsville, so there were no concerns. I only remember a drive a couple of times in the years 1941 and 1942. Then, in the fall, it would be the same procedure in reverse.” The Huntley Township Historical Society’s newsletter is edited by R.D. Thomas, Box 313, Carp, ON K0A 1L0.

2nd SECTION

Bringing alive the story of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples by Allan Joyner

Special to the Review

The story of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples came alive in Carp on June 17. The over 100 participants in a Kairos Blanket Exercise hosted by the Parish of Huntley heard directly from Elaine Kicknosway, who was removed from her aboriginal birth family as a youngster. She and her son Theland Kicknosway brought the emotion and the power of the story affecting not only them, but so many of their aboriginal brothers and sisters to this special event of friendship and reconciliation at St. James Anglican Church. Taken from her family and adopted out to a non-aboriginal family when she was only a small child, Elaine was forbidden from contacting her birth mother and only managed to get back to her original family and her Cree culture after many years. She gave a first-person account of her experience to those at the event, illustrating the effect of the interaction between Canada’s settler peoples and the country’s indigenous peoples. Participants in this special event built a map of blankets of what First Nations call Turtle Island — Canada. Everyone became participants, representing various First Nations from all over Canada. As the story of the effects of disease, wars, government politics and residential schools unfolded, the map of territory left to First Nations shrank. As a result, a large number of people representing First Nations people were asked to sit down as the people of that nation disappeared.

Elaine Kicknosway (right),who was removed from her aboriginal birth family as a youngster, gives instructions about the Kairos Blanket Exercise which happened at the special event of friendship and reconcilaition which was held at St. James Anglican Church hall in Carp on June 17. This Kairos Blanket Exercise proved to be a very emotional experience for participants. Even members of the community who were a little familiar with what happened to Canada’s indigenous peoples were deeply affected by the scope of the tragedy when they had the opportunity to view it from a First Nations perspective.

Like at all aboriginal gatherings, the event featured traditional food, music and singing. The opportunity to experience these and also hear Elaine and Theland’s story was eye-opening and invaluable. “It’s one thing for the government and others to apologize to First Nations peoples,” said participant Don

Sykes. “It’s far more important to sit with them and let them know you now understand more about their experience.” Rev. Monique Stone of the Parish of Huntley, who organized the event, said that her intention is that the community will try to take on some kind of activity to follow up on the learning that took place at the event.

“We live on the traditional territory of the Algonquin people and it’s important to keep that in mind and try to find ways to promote reconciliation. We were fortunate to have the support of All My Relations, a committee of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, for this event and we hope to leverage that support and follow up on what we started here today.”

WOW 1 DAY PAINTING Ottawa offers professional, residential and commercial interior and exterior painting – all with a focus on one-day completion. Quality is evident from the company’s initial on-site consultation, even assisting with colour selection. Speed results from careful planning, on-site supervision, and effective execution of the project. This includes having the right number of painters who follow a systematic process. “We don’t take short cuts, but work efficiently,” says Leesha Cunningham. The WOW factor is realized when clients see their homes transformed. “We don’t charge extra for our one-day service.” adds Leesa Franklin. “People love the opportunity to get their home painted in a day, but in many cases they prefer two days. We like to provide options.”

Kanata building business with new Central bia The heart of Kanata’s vibrant commercial zone is now a focused business community. After a year of planning and preparation, Ottawa officially welcomes its 19th Business Improvement Area (BIA) to represent Kanata’s rapidly growing retail core in the area surrounding Kanata Centrum and Signature Centre. The Kanata Central shopping district has it all. You can shop all day, then dine and enjoy an evening out and even stay over! The area within the BIA’s boundaries features more than 150 businesses offering a huge array of goods and services – including big box retail, smaller locally owned shops that cater to a wide variety of specialty tastes and interests, car dealerships, health services, restaurants, movie theatres, nightclubs, hotels and so much more. Operating with an estimated annual budget of about $150,000, KCBIA brings business, people, and property owners together and, with the support of the City of Ottawa and others as necessary, to organize, finance, and carry out improvements and promote ‘smart’ growth and economic development consistent with its mission. Like its counterparts in other areas of the city, Kanata Central BIA is governed by a board of directors recruited from the local business community. Chair is Adam Stuart, Canadian Tire and Vice chair is Sean O’Leary, MYHome Furniture. Secretary is Neil Highet, Fat Tuesday’s, and Treasureris Faye Potter, RBC Kanata Commons. Directors include

Kirk Sauriol, Staples; David Brown, Mucho Burrito; Paul Lynds, The Brick as well as Kanata North Councillor Marianne Wilkinson. “The newly formed Kanata Central BIA was motivated to come together due changing business dynamics for how people purchase goods and pressures to the market from local and online sources. With the rapid housing growth in the west end of Ottawa, there is a dire need to re-vitalize and grow the region a destination for shopping, entertainment, and hospitality. Even people who shop in the area regularly don’t know all we have to offer!” said Adam Stuart. “Additionally, the KCBIA will provide and communicate critical information back to the KCBIA membership regarding initiatives and activities of any entity including the City of Ottawa which may impact the business district and its member enterprises.” A non-profit organization, Kanata Central BIA is funded through area-specific levies on all commercially assessed properties within the defined boundary. Levies are determined by a BIA’s yearly budget and are paid as part of property taxes. For more information, visit kanatacentralbia.wordpress.com or facebook@ kanatacentralBIA.

38 West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 29, 2017

It will be a night to remember! The Fitzroy Harbour Community Association is holding a dinner and dance Saturday, Aug. 26 to mark its 40th anniversary. It will all start with cocktails at 5 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and dancing at 9 p.m. The event will be held at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre, but not in the building, rather outside. The dinner and dance will take place under a tent on the B diamond while the entertainment will be performing outside under the stars. There are two types of tickets available for the event. There’s a $40 ticket which is good for the dinner and dance including the cocktails and the dinner. There’s also a $10 ticket which is good for the dance that will get underway at 9 p.m. The Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre was constructed in 1977, the same year the Fitzroy Harbour Community Association was formed. The Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre features a main hall and meeting rooms, two ball diamonds, soccer pitches, a playground and an outdoor rink.

Ottawa will be red, white and busy all over this July 1 The city’s biggest party of the year will keep the Canada Day festivities going for three days. From June 30 to July 2 Canadian Heritage will once again host the day and evening shows, which will take place at three official sites: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa, and the Canadian Museum of History. Extra screening will take place to get on Parliament Hill — with checkpoints and bag-checks. Revellers looking to take in the festivities are being warned to get there early. On June 30, Major’s Hill Park and the Canadian Museum of History will have special programming. Throughout the park, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., there will be buskers, trivia games and fun photo opportunities. At 4:30 p.m. performances will begin on

the Tim Hortons Family Stage. Artists Raine Maida and Chantal Kreviazuk will perform at 7:15 p.m. The museum will feature activities from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., with inflatable games, wall climbing and live wild animals and choir and dance performances by Syrian refugee children. On Canada Day, celebrations will run from 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. A carillon concert and pop-up performances begin at 9 a.m. The Inspection of the Guard at 11:40 a.m. will take place at the Peacekeeping Monument on Sussex Drive near the National Gallery of Canada and promises to be a different experience than the usual Changing of the Guard, which takes place on Parliament Hill in the summer. There will be a 21-gun salute and an air show includ-

ing the Snowbirds and CF-18s. Dignitaries will be on hand during the celebrations, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gov. Gen. David Johnston and Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. Bono and The Edge from U2 will appear as special guests to perform a song during the noon show. The Canada Day evening show begins at 8:30 p.m. Artists performing on the Hill include Alessia Cara, Walk Off The Earth, Cirque du Soleil, LouisJean Cormier, Marie-Mai, Dean Brody, Serena Ryder, Kelly Bado, Kinnie Starr, Lisa LeBlanc, Gordon Lightfoot, Mike Tompkins, , as well as appearances by performers like Buffy Sainte-Marie and other special guests.

Mother Mother, Laurence Nerbonne and David R. Maracle will perform at Major’s Hill Park. The Canadian Museum of History’s stage will host The Lost Fingers and The Souljazz Orchestra. A full list of performance times is available at canada.ca/en/canadianheritage. At 11 p.m. on July 1, a 20-minute, 17-second pyromusical fireworks show will light up the sky over Ottawa and Gatineau. “Get ready to experience Canada Day like never before with unforgettable festivities to celebrate Canada 150,” said Hon. Mélanie Joly, minister of Canadian Heritage. “I invite everyone to join in and celebrate the past, present and future of our incredible country.” FREE FUN

Many of the city’s museums are open and free for Canada Day. There’s Canada Family Fun with Music at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, which is free for the day. Inside the grand hall there will be songs and dancing with folk group Le Grand Portage and their dance caller will have you on your feet. There will also be the opportunity to make friendship bracelets and to customize a Canada Day headband with maple leaves, ribbons and more. View a performance by the parachute team at the Canada Aviation

and Space Museum. Autographs, a flyby by the Snowbirds, a concert by BAM, and a rocket launch by the Ottawa Rocketry Group will round out their celebration.

ORLÉANS

Canada Day at Petrie Island is back after it was moved away to the Navan fairgrounds and then cancelled in early 2016. “It’s been very impressive to see so many different corners of the community come together,” said Adam Polka, the director of communications for Orléans Canada Day. “It’s pretty clear that Orléans was ready to get Canada Day back.” The barbecue festival and craft beer tent will open at Petrie Island on Friday and run through Sunday. The barbecue festival, organized by the team who put together Orléans Ribfest, will run alongside the beer tent June 30 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., all day Canada Day, and July 2 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. While the food and beer will be served for a whole weekend, the entertainment and fireworks will be on July 1 as residents celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Polka said they are “sparing no expense”

when it comes to putting on the fireworks show which will start at 10 p.m. Entertainment will start at 11 a.m. that day, with a Carivibe DJ party kicking things off. The KidZone will be open until 5 p.m., with the official opening ceremony at 1 p.m. Concerts from Ottawa artists including Wise Young and King, Capital Beetles, and headliner Tribe Royal will carry the party through to the fireworks when the Carivibe DJ party will return to the stage.

“We’ve got a really nice family-friendly schedule, combined with a great foodie and beer schedule,” Polka said. OC Transpo is free on Canada Day and a shuttle service will be offered until 8 p.m. from the Trim Road park-and-ride and the Orléans La Cité Collegiale campus. The shuttle will resume after the fireworks. Reserved accessible parking is available on the island and VIP passes are for sale for $100, which includes food for four people and a parking pass.

tivity area with games for children of all ages. The Kidz Zone stage will host child friendly acts and a four-day midway held from June 29 to July 2 has

games, food and all kinds of amusement. A new addition to the celebration is the Kids Zone Gym Area. Kidz Zone activities include bubble soccer, human foosball, a hockey radar challenge, Maple the Cow, Home Depot crafts, circus workshop and many more. The gym area will run between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will consist of interactive events hosted by groups, businesses and athletes from the area. Olympic hurdler Sekou Kaba and Olympian Kashani Thomas will host seminars on their respective sports. Taekwondo world champion Kayla Maduk will be there to speak about her Believe project and the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts will be holding demonstrations as well. Activities will also include multicultural expression in the form of song, dance, language and dress. All of this will be

found on the Multi-Cultural Stage. Food from many different cultures will also be present. All of this, according to Canada Day Barrhaven Inc., is to illustrate the growing diversity in Barrhaven. According to president Darrell Bartraw, the gym area idea was born from the athletic groups who were interested in being a part of the multicultural celebrations. Instead the idea for an interactive, fitness-based section was conceived and added to the Kidz Zone. Other new additions to the celebration include a classic car show and also performances by live, local bands on stage on June 30 for a pre-Canada Day celebration. On the morning of July 1 at 8 a.m. V!VA Retirement Community will be hosting a seniors breakfast hosted by city Coun. Jan Harder. The day will end will a fireworks display.

Turtles face hazards even before hatching by michael runtz

Each month brings new events in Nature. While many of these, such as the migration of songbirds, are triggered by the photoperiod (the ratio of daylight to darkness), others are more affected by temperature. Dragonfly nymphs leave the water that had been their home for a year to transform into flying wonders when water temperatures reach an appropriate temperature. And the annual exodus of female turtles from wetlands to lay their eggs on land is also largely temperature dependent. Overall this year, the days have been cooler (and wetter) than normal. Turtles that normally lay their eggs in late May and early June have been delayed by one to two weeks. In Algonquin Park, research on the nesting behaviour of turtles has been on going since 1972, making it one of the longest-running research programs on vertebrates anywhere in the world. In most years, Painted and snapping turtles lay their eggs during the first week of June (here, turtles often lay a week earlier). But this year things got underway about a week later. In fact, this past weekend I spent three glorious days in eastern Algonquin and came across several painted turtles laying eggs. It is fascinating to watch this pro-

cess. After selecting a site, the female turtle begins to dig a hole in the ground. Her back legs do the digging, their long claws ripping up earth. Each leg is alternately shoved down and then up and back while the front legs provide leverage. As the chamber deepens, her front legs elevate to provide the appropriate angle of attack. Soon a mound of excavated earth develops behind the turtle. Once the hole is deep enough, she begins to drop her eggs into it. One back leg lifts as the egg moves out of her cloaca and into the hole. This is repeated again and again, the turtle in an autopilot mode. After the last egg is laid (around a dozen eggs are laid by painted turtles; snapping turtles lay up to 50!), the female carefully pulls the excavated earth forward, smothering the eggs and covering the nest. She then begins her journey back to the water, leaving her eggs to hatch on their own, incubated only by the heat of the earth. Perhaps the most remarkable feature about turtle eggs is that when they are laid, the sex of their occupant has not been set; the temperature of the soil determines that feature! If it is a hot or excessively cold summer, only females will hatch in the fall. If temperatures are moder-

ate, a mixed brood will result. Even more remarkable is that if painted turtle eggs hatch late, which may well happen this year, the hatchlings will remain underground all winter. At their shallow depth, the little turtles are exposed to sub-zero temperatures, which would be lethal for most vertebrates. But these little fellows will survive until spring, despite much of their body water having turned to ice! Sadly, many turtles (especially snapping turtles) are killed as they crawl across roads. But many other hazards lie ahead for their offspring, even before they hatch from the eggs. My next column will highlight some of these. The Nature email is mruntz@start. ca

Painted turtles like this one have been laying their eggs later than usual this year. Notice the leech that is still attached to this turtle.

To register for the BIA Nine and Dine, please email roddy.bolivar@crcbia.ca or call 613-3147597. NEW CITY BIA REP The City of Ottawa assigns a staff member to deal directly with business associations. The new city rep for the Carp Road Corridor BIA is Brian Simpson, who was in attendance at the last Carp Road Corridor BIA board meet-

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on June 14, 2017 established its intention to designate Macdonald Gardens Park at 99 Cobourg Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 99 Cobourg Street, Macdonald Gardens Park Description of Property – 99 Cobourg Street Macdonald Gardens Park is an urban park bounded by Tormey, Cobourg, Heney and Wurtemburg Streets and is identified as being of cultural heritage value. The park was designed by landscape architect Frederick Todd in 1914 and is located in Lowertown East. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Macdonald Gardens Park, an evolving cultural heritage landscape, is of cultural heritage value as a park designed by Frederick Todd, one of Canada’s early landscape architects, who planned many parks across the country. The park has evolved from a cemetery, to one of Ottawa’s early planned landscapes with winding paths, native trees and open spaces, and a stone summer house on top of a hill, and is now a recreational park. Macdonald Gardens Park is of historical value as an early project of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, which was established in 1899 to beautify the capital. The park also has historical value because it was constructed on the site of a former cemetery. Between the years 1845 and 1873 the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Wesleyan Methodist and Roman Catholic churches used this site as the Sandy Hill cemeteries. Macdonald Gardens Park’s contextual value lies in its landmark setting within the Lowertown area and its prominently located summer house on a hill. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report. For more information, please contact: Ashley Kotarba, Heritage Planner City of Ottawa Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development 110 Laurier Avenue West, 4th Floor Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel. 613-580-2424, ext. 23582 Email: ashley.kotarba@ottawa.ca 50 West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 29, 2017

ing. Brian grew up in rural West Ottawa, so he is familiar with the area. MINIMUM WAGE The Carp Road Corridor BIA is seeking input from its members on how the proposed minimum wage increases will impact their businesses. Under the provincial government’s proposal, the minimum wage will be increased to $14 in 2018 and to $15 in 2019. There are also some other new provisions associated with the wage increase, such as ten days of personal emergency leave; a minimum vacation entitlement of three weeks to employees with five years’ service; and increased fines related to employment standards. All 19 of the City of Ottawa’s BIAs have met and compared input they have received on this issue from their small business members. This input and feedback will be provided to local MPP’s and to the provincial government’s consultation process. PRIORITIES At the Carp Road Corridor BIA’s annual general meeting last January, members approved three priorities: need, cost and benefit of municipal water service; lack of transit, which is a constraint on businesses in the Corridor; and property assessments and their continual

increase. Other concerns which arose at the annual general meeting include the cost of courier service to Corridor businesses, future flooding risks and road improvements.

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!

West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 29, 2017 55


A NEW CHAPTER IS UNFOLDING AT

QUEENSWAY CARLETON HOSPITAL 2017 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY • SUPPLEMENT Do you remember Expo 67? Gordon Lightfoot’s Canadian Railroad Trilogy, or the lighting of the Centennial Flame. The hundreds of centennial projects that broke ground across the country. Canada’s centennial year was a year of celebration; a year of remembering the past, but also building for the future. 50 years on, as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary, Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) is embarking on a new chapter of its own, having just marked its 40th anniversary year. We have a vision to transform our hospital, laying a foundation for a generation to come.

ENHANCING MORE THAN JUST SPACE

SEIZING THE MOMENT With the newly launched Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly Unit, and a revamped Emergency Department, QCH has had much to celebrate this year. But we’ve really only just begun. In April 2017, QCH received approval for a new Mental Health expansion and renovation, made possible through QCH Foundation’s Hopes Rising campaign, and provincial government funding. With groundbreaking on the horizon, and units due to be shuffled, we’re seizing the moment to revamp the remainder of our original 1976 hospital space – the original building that opened its doors to this community some 40 years ago. 56 West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 29, 2017

We’re preparing for a full transformation from the original building design, with increased natural light, accessible washrooms, glare free flooring, and enhanced technology for optimal patient care and comfort. We’re integrating what we’ve learned through the success of our ACE Unit, and enhancing our space unit-by-unit. It’s a major undertaking, renovating three inpatient units and our mental health unit; we are scheduled to break ground this year and wrap up by 2020.

This year, QCH is also improving one of its busiest services in diagnostic imaging. Every year, QCH performs some 7500 mammograms, helping to detect breast cancer faster, when it is most treatable. As demand from our community increases, we are seeking support for new, advanced 3D mammography technology, the gold standard in breast imaging. This his new technology will allow us to screen more people and offer enhanced imaging, improving diagnoses. It’s all part of preparing for the future, and we’re committed to enhancing both our physical space and our care to do just that.

As we celebrate our nation’s 150th anniversary, we also say thank you to our community for supporting QCH for the past 40 years. As Canada looks towards the future, QCH is building for our community to be able to provide you and your family with the best possible care when you need us most.
