In what was surely the hottest Carp Fair in 154 years of history, tens of thousands of visitor dropped by the historic country fair between Thursday, Sept. 21 and Sunday, Sept. 24. Above left, Laura Badham takes a break with her show cow, Date Night between classes. Above right, Gaia, also known as Giordana Humphries, does tricks with her glass ball to entertain at the Carp Fair. However, it was Humphries who found herself entertained. She came from Toronto for the gig, and couldn’t believe she would find herself petting pigs, skunks and plenty of other critters at the country fair. “In Toronto, you normally don’t want to go around petting skunks,” she said.

Two Huntley students lead effort on Irma fundraising BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Caitryn Morrison didn’t need to know the victims of Hurricane Irma to know she wanted to help anyway she could. The Grade 6 Huntley Centennial Public School student was home with her dad when she saw the catastrophic damage Hurricane Irma had wreaked in Barbuda, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Anguilla, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas and the Eastern United States. The storm reached Category 5 in intensity and had winds travelling 295 km/h at its peak. Around 102 deaths were attributed to Irma and $62.87 billion (USD) in damages. “I was watching the news with my dad,” Caitryn said. “I saw a lot of people in need and I just wanted to help.” Caitryn, 11, asked her friend and classmate Celia Rigley, 11, to help and the two got started right away. The two organized a bake sale to be held at the school on Sept. 14 and 15. “My dad did a lot of baking and my sister and friends helped too,” Caitryn said.

From left, Caitryn Morrison and Celia Rigley, Grade 6 students at Huntley Centennial Public School in Carp, raised $1,400 for Hurricane Irma Relief Efforts. Caitryn said the whole project took about a week starting with flyers and announcements, two to three days of baking and the sale on Thursday and Friday. The two fundraisers set a goal of $500 but were quickly

overwhelmed by the generosity of their schoolmates. “On the second day, we went to the portable to get the baked goods,” Caitryn said. “When we came to our booth spot there was a line-up all the way down the hall. It was cra-

zy. Some teachers baked some goods for the second day which was great because we sold out to the last piece of cake. My dad was baking non-stop.” “I guess everyone here has a sweet tooth,” Celia joked. When the flour finally set-

tled, the two fundraisers, with the help of family, friends and Huntley’s students and staff, had raised more than $1,400. “When we dropped off the money to the Red Cross, they told me that was the most money they had ever seen raised at a

On Sept. 18 Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon, Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon, Renfrew Mayor Don Eady and Coun. Mike Coulas marked the $60,000 Canada 150 Community Infrastructure funding for the new town tourist booth.

Five local communities have received $376,662 through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. The funding announcements were made on Monday, Sept. 18 by Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon, on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development and Minister responsible for FedDev Ontario, on a tour of the Ottawa Valley. The Township of Admaston/Bromley received the biggest chunk of money for $120,000 in infrastructure funding toward the rehabilitation of Micksburg Road. “Through these investments in our communities, we are demonstrating our commitment to create and support sustainable growth, economic opportunity, and prosperity in Canada. “By improving community infrastructure such as Micksburg Road in the Township of Admaston/Bromley, we are helping to boost the region’s economic activity as well as make the communities it passes through safer and more prosperous,” said McCrim-

mon in a press release. Horton Township received $90,482 for rehabilitation of Fraser Road, and the township is partnering with McNab/Braeside for the project. The Town of Renfrew received $60,000, which will help fund the replacement of Renfrew’s Tourist Information Centre. The total cost for the new tourist booth is $185,000, construction is set to start in the next couple weeks with it opening on Dec. 31. Also receiving infrastructure funding were $59,180 to Deep River/Laurentian Hills and the Laurentian Valley received $50,000.

With the addition of $44.4 million in supplementary funding announced in budget 2016, the total CIP 150 allocation for southern Ontario, being delivered by FedDev Ontario, is up to $88.8 million. Over 730 projects have been approved under both intakes, according to the press release. These projects will allow Canadians to enjoy upgraded community facilities such as parks, trails, and cultural and community centres. They will also help to create a lasting legacy as Canada prepares to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017.

Ottawa police struggling with budget restraints Police Chief Bordeleau says proposed 2018 budget ‘not my preferred option’ BY KIERAN DELAMONT

Metro News

The Ottawa police are grappling with the issue of rising costs, while continuing to try to find savings in an alreadystretched budget. The police department will

need to delay contributions to its capital reserves in order to meet the police services board’s direction that the budget grow by no more than two per cent in 2018. While the budget is on track to meet that target, significant concerns were raised that by

delaying contributions to reserve funding, the board was simply kicking the can a bit further down the road, rather than addressing the larger issue of rising costs. “My priority was not to cut staff and not impact services, and that’s what this budget

Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan Information Session #2

Thursday, October 5, 2017 6:30 to 9 p.m. (drop-in anytime) Alexander Community Centre 960 Silver Street

You are invited to find out more about the Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan (CDP) study. The outcomes of the CDP will affect how the northern end of Merivale Road will look and function in the future. The CDP study area affects land adjacent to Merivale Road between Caldwell Avenue and Carling Avenue. The study generally includes creating guidelines for land use and urban design, review and possible changes to the current zoning of land on select properties (see notice below), consideration of a range of new economic development incentives and creation of a “complete street” design to improve walking, cycling and streetscape in the future. At the session, city staff will have information available to answer your questions on the preliminary recommendations for the Community Design Plan. If you are unable to attend the session, you may review the information on the city’s website and provide your comments online.

does do – it delivers on the two per cent (maximum increase) without touching those areas,” said police Chief Charles Bordeleau. But on the way it was done he added, “It’s not my preferred option, but that’s the option that we’re left with.” “You can only wring a cat’s neck so much, and then eventually you’ll kill it,” said Jim Durrell, vice-chair of the board. “I think we’re very quickly approaching this point for police services.” The board had previously budgeted that it will be able to find at least $2 million in savings each year until at least 2021. They remain confident in that regard, even though for 2018 they were only able to scrape together $600,000 in savings. “Over the past number of years, we have achieved the $2 million,” said Bordeleau. “But that’s becoming more challenging.” Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who chairs the board, was frustrated by what he saw as an election-

for debate by council. “Let city council understand that we’re plugging holes here. We’re not really achieving (anything).”

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the planner identified below before September 29, 2017. Need more information? Go to the city’s website at ottawa.ca/imaginemerivaleroadnorth or, contact the planner listed in the Notice of Proposed Zoning By-law Amendments below:

Notice of Proposed Zoning By-Law Amendments In accordance with Section 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 3.(1) of Ontario Regulation 545/06, notice is hereby provided that a Zoning By-law Amendment proposal has been initiated by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. LAND SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Zoning By-Law Amendment proposal generally affects properties adjacent to Merivale Road between Caldwell Avenue and Carling Avenue including select properties on Merivale Road, Kirkwood Avenue, Chatelain Avenue, Shillington Avenue, Thames Street, Laperriere Avenue, Leaside Avenue and Anna Avenue. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments (ZBLA) is to implement the land use and urban design components of the proposed new Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed ZBLA. The main effects of the proposed ZBLA are to rezone select properties from existing residential and institutional zones to the Traditional Mainstreet (TM) zone, generally with exceptions that continue to permit uses from the existing zones but that in certain locations permit new non-residential uses under the TM zone only if properties are assembled and any new development fronts on Merivale Road, and to correct anomalies where the boundaries between different zones do not follow adjacent property lines. FURTHER INFORMATION For more information about this matter, including information about preserving your appeal rights, contact: Chris Brouwer, Planner Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department City of Ottawa 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 27813 Fax: 613-580-2459 Email: Chris.Brouwer@ottawa.ca. Additional information can also be obtained through Ottawa.ca/devapps and input File Number D02-02-17-0017 in the “Search” criteria. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the above-noted planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or email by Friday, October 27, 2017. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. Dated at Ottawa this 28th day of September, 2017.

Long-range plan could see steady water rates increase no recommendation. Council approved the rate structure change last fall. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt called foul on the proposal, which asks for an increase in the revenue from stormwater to go up by as much as 13 per cent annually for the next decade. West Carleton Coun. Eli ElChantiry echoed the sentiments of his council colleague, saying that residents were sold on a bill between $13 and $15 for the next four years. “Now all of a sudden without consultation, we are talking

The city needs $2.6 billion over 10 years to deal with capital investment in our water infrastructure, and the bill could be handed to residents. Following a rejig of the water and stormwater fee structure — a contentious issue for rural residents passed less than a year ago — staff presented a report to the city’s environment committee on Sept. 19. The committee ultimately decided to pass the buck to council — forwarding the report on with

about a substantial increase,” he said. A consultation on the changes to the city’s rate structure held in West Carleton in March 2016 had to turn people away, because the venue ran out of space. “We took a lot of flak,” El-Chantiry said of the rural councillors. The stormwater fee was combined with the road tax before the city amalgamated in 2000, since rural areas were absorbed into the City of Ottawa, they hadn’t been paying for the upkeep. El-Chantiry said he convinced residents that they should pay their fair share, but the plan proposed in the report will only foster distrust of the city. “And maybe it should,” ElChantiry said. “It seems like we got our foot inside the door and then immediately want to charge more.” Deputy city treasurer Isabelle Jasmin said there are many “moving parts” when it comes to the rate structure, and the needed increase in revenue doesn’t necessarily translate to higher rates. If there’s a housing boom, for example, the

The city has 8,500 kilometres of stormwater, water and sanitary pipes. There are 92 pump stations and 5,800 culverts. There’s also the Lemieux Island and Britannia water treatment facilities. According to the capital asset management report, which was also presented to the committee, 93 per cent of city assets are in fair to very good condition. The infrastructure that needs repairs is triaged according to need, based on the city’s

risk-based approach. “I know you’re saying that a 13 per cent increase won’t equal to dollars, but I can’t vote in favour and say, ‘It should be OK,’” Moffatt said. “The report takes a new fee and immediately doubles it.” Moffatt took heat from residents for voting in favour of the rate structure changes, and blasted staff for not informing councillors about the numbers in the long-range plan. “I had to find out that storm water fees could increase by 270 per cent over the next 10 years from someone who came to my booth at the Richmond Fair,” Moffatt said. Jasmin said staff followed protocols, and the rate review and long-range plan are two separate items. Committee chair David Chernushenko cautioned Moffatt against “exciting” residents with the cumulative increases over a 10-year period. The increase for 2018 would be 13 per cent. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said he has some neighbourhoods in his ward that are neither “fish, nor fowl,” referring to areas like Pine Glen

where they aren’t rural, but are privately serviced. He said he’s concerned about not having the information on a dollar amount for residents. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli also wanted more information for residents. Chiarelli took issue with the staff estimates on funding needs, wondering how we got to the point where we need increases of that nature annually. Water rates have been steadily rising since 2011. Chiarelli said there’s a public perception that water rate relates to consumption, but 90 per cent of the city’s costs are fixed. “The public needs to know the rate increase is to get more money to pay down the deficit,” he said. On a positive note, ElChantiry said there’s a meeting planned between Mayor Jim Watson and some of the rural councillors. “Hopefully we can take that part out,” El-Chantiry said of the planned increases for the stormwater fee. “I won’t vote for it with that included. Or a budget that has that in it.” Council will receive the report on Sept. 27.

Get elder care right

he city is taking a long, hard look at its operation of long-term care homes. But the province and the federal government need to carry out a similar review if things are going to get better, not worse. The city’s review was prompted by a series of incidents, including a long-term care resident being punched. There’s no doubt the municipal government wants to ensure that doesn’t happen again. The will is there to fix problems. Part of the response has been the formation of an advisory group – one that includes the families of residents. Families are rightfully concerned, just witness the 40 pages of comments that were collected at one feedback session at Carleton Lodge in south Nepean. The union which represents nurses in the city’s homes says staff are overworked. That’s supported by the statistics – Ontario has the lowest number of staff hours per resident. Then consider that Ottawa’s homes have even

fewer hours per resident than the Ontario average. What’s clearly lacking is funding, and not just here, but across the country. The city, province and federal government know demand is increasing and will only grow in the coming decades. Canada needs to ramp up now. Failing to act when a problem is entirely predictable is the definition of negligence. Our governments need a strategy to hire the best people we can, train them well and pay them well. They will be part of our future. We need more spaces in publicly funded seniors care, and more staff to provide the care. It is far less expensive, and far more suitable for the elderly, to care for them in long-term care facilities than in our hospitals. And beyond the dollars and cents issue, there’s a moral question only government action can answer. Taking good care of those most in need is the right thing to do.

It’s not clear yet how far Ontario will go. But it appears that the legislation will permit door-to-door contact only if the homeowner initiates the contact. That’s a big step ahead, assuming that the legislators do not tack on a lengthy list of exceptions. As you will remember, that happened when the do-not-call registry was set up. We still get a lot of calls. Different people have a different tolerance for those who ring the bell. Some people are fine with those who offer a service – sealing the driveway, washing the windows.

most of us need to become more savvy consumers. The schools and community colleges could help here. But there is no legitimate justification for misleading door-to-door operations. A government crackdown is long overdue.

Mayor’s Report

HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE CITY’S 2018 BUDGET By: Mayor Jim Watson

Last year, we worked with our City departments and staff and listened to residents through the budget consultation process in order to deliver a budget that keeps the City on a path of fiscal prudence while continuing to build a caring, sustainable, and prosperous city. We were able to accomplish this while keeping our 2% tax cap commitment, thus ensuring that Ottawa remains an affordable city for all. To shed light on the budget process and how these decisions impact your individual property taxes, the City of Ottawa has developed innovative tools available in the Understanding Your City Budget section of www.Ottawa.ca. The tools include: How the City Budget Works: A short video that uses plain language and easy-to- understand graphics that outline the basics of how the City budget works. Get Involved in the Budget Process - The City of Ottawa’s Budget Process Made Simple: A printable info-graphic that describes the budget and consultation process and highlights when and how residents can have their say. City of Ottawa’s 2018 Budget Consultation Tool: An interactive online tool that provides you with the opportunity to play the role of politician or administrator and determine what areas of City services and programs require increases, decreases or status quo funding, and gives you the opportunity to provide comments. To show the impact of your decisions, the tool will also show how your changes will affect the budget rate and your individual property taxes. The tool will remain live until the budget is tabled on November 8, 2017.

Writer feels bylaw threat to landowners To the Editor, On Monday, Sept. 11, the Carleton Landowners Association (CLA) hosted a public meeting in Goulbourn partly to discuss the City of Ottawa’s proposed site alteration bylaw, a draft of which can be found at http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-engagement/ law/site-alteration-law-development. Staff have been developing this bylaw for several years. Indeed, Mayor Jim Watson is quoted as saying in September, 2014 he would bring in such a by-law and further, that he would lobby the Province for stronger penalties against landowners who act illegally. To their credit, the city did consult with stakeholders (the CLA was invited to participate in reviewing early versions) and they have allowed six weeks for public consultation. We note that our input was not reflected in the revisions. We believe despite the city’s efforts,

Finally, I encourage residents to attend various Councillor-led 2018 Pre-budget public consultations that are taking place across our city in the month of October. For a schedule of public consultations or to access the online consultation tools, visit www.ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/ budget-and-taxes/budget/budget-2018, and have your say in Budget 2018.

most property owners are unaware of the proposed bylaw and what it means to them. There were about 60 people at our public meeting - a show of hands revealed only about 10 of them were aware of the new by-law; fewer still had read it. All property owners should be concerned about this new bylaw - it will not, in our opinion, meet its stated objective of preserving farmland nor will it meet the objectives of proponents of the bylaw - to prevent the massacre of trees and protect wetlands. You should know this is a complaint-driven by-law so “if the city receives a complaint under the new bylaw, staff with expertise in the issues related to the complaint will investigate it to determine if any rules were not followed. If staff determine that a contravention has occurred, the city can require

work to be done to correct the problem.” Effectively, the city is giving itself the authority to enter your property based on a single complaint. If the city’s objective is truly to save farmland and natural heritage features, we believe there are better, more effective ways of accomplishing this. Though the consultation period ended on Monday, Sept. 25, you can still comment when the proposed bylaw is tabled at Planning committee and at the Agriculture and Rural Affairs committee (dates to be determined). For more discussion on why the CLA thinks this proposed by-law should not be passed, please see carletonlandowners.com/wp/site-alteration-bylaw/.

City ramps up early years programming BY JJENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan to ramp up the Ontario Early Years and Family Centre programming, and reduce the wait-lists for things like play groups, was approved by the city’s community and protective services committee on Sept. 21. The province is merging four publicly funded Early Years programs into a unified system called the Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centre. The move came with a $6.7-million cash infusion in 2017, and $9.6 million slated for 2018.

There are 99 locations across the city, which offer services such as play groups and first word screening. They serve 27,000 children a year. Now that the city is in charge of running the provincially funded service, they have to conduct a needs assessment of local programs. According to the staff report, the city has mapped services — including those for francophones and the Indigenous. According to the numbers, the play groups are the most used, and per-

ceived as most important by parents. Another element of the report was that francophone parents expressed disappointment with bilingual programs — saying there’s too much of an anglophone focus. They’d prefer French programming be run by French organizations. R i d e a u - Ro c k c l i f f e Coun. Tobi Nussbaum said he’s glad to see services will match the need. “Looking at the numFile photo bers, 57 per cent of chilCoun.

Your monthly update on the Ottawa Senators Foundation news!

Every summer the Ottawa Senators Foundation sends more than 1,200 deserving kids to summer camp. A place where kids have an opportunity to make new friends, to learn about teamwork, leadership and fair play. A place where kids learn about themselves and build self-confidence. The Ottawa Senators Foundation believes that all kids deserve an opportunity to experience the many benefits of camp.

“None of that follows them,” says Warden. “They’re able to be their own person and understand that they’re welcome no matter what.”

Meet Rosie Warden.

Warden says new kids often arrive at Camp Smitty uncertain about what’s in store. Young ones arriving for the first time can be shy, tentative. Older kids in the throes of adolescence can act like they’re too cool to go to camp.

Here’s an example from Camp Smitty, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa camp in Eaganville, Ont.

The greatest thing about summer camp is its ability to unburden campers of their baggage and allow them to see the potential in themselves and the possibilities life can offer. For three epic sessions of 10 nights each summer, kids from underprivileged families, broken homes and troubled circumstances leave their woes behind and venture into the unknown surrounded by other kids from similar circumstances. It’s a diverse group, but you wouldn’t know it by about day two.

“Everyone is from the same place when you come to camp,” says Rosie Warden, manager of Outdoor Education and Youth Leadership for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa. They might be struggling in school or have behavioural issues or family problems. At Camp Smitty, kids come and be comfortable with who they are.

The camp benefits from the support of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which provides funding for the one in five Ottawa-area children who don’t have access to after-school sports, recreation or social activities.

Since 2015, the foundation, has enabled more than 4,000 kids, ages four to 17, from 50 communities across the region to go to camps like Smitty.

“By the last day they can’t wait to come back next year.”

“A lot of what the kids do is actually stuff they never get to do in the city,” says Warden, citing activities like swimming off a beach, sleeping in a cabin, tenting and hiking. “The kids can just come and be comfortable with who they are.” By supporting Camp Smitty and others like it, the Ottawa Senators Foundation gives kids unlimited opportunities to grow. Camp counsellors see it all the time, she says, as kids’ attitudes and goals evolve, and they aim ever higher.

Stricter library porn policy doesn’t go far enough: Deans BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

While patrons of the Ottawa Public Library who view explicit content on branch computers will now be asked to stop if complaints are made, the policy update could go further to prohibit the viewing of sexually explicit material. “Patrons of all ages use the public library and sexually explicit material is not something that should be viewed in a public place, and that should just be a matter of policy,” said GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, though

she acknowledged the policy change is “better” and “a step in the right direction.” Her ward office is based at the Greenboro Community Centre where the Greenboro library branch is located. That’s where two girls saw a man viewing graphic pornography on a public computer in a high-traffic area earlier this summer. The girls’ mother said she was told staff don’t restrict patrons from accessing legal internet content. Following the incident, Danielle McDonald, chief executive of the Ottawa Public Library, sent an email to city

councillors explaining “it is a fundamental tenet of a public library to uphold access to information without censorship.” The refreshed policy, made official Sept. 19, is now in line with what libraries in many other Canadian cities, such as Vancouver, Hamilton, Calgary and Gatineau, have adopted, said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, chair of the Ottawa Public Library board. “Staff now have that tool in their tool box to walk over, based on a complaint, and say, ‘Turn it off,’” he said, adding this applies to all blatantly offensive material and not just pornography. “The

previous policy was to accommodate and say, ‘We’ll just shift you over out of sight.’ That wasn’t holding water in my mind.” In an emailed statement sent to Metroland Media, the Ottawa Public Library said, “Our policy has always been to respect the sensibilities of others. The main refinement is that we will amend our policy to request that customers refrain from displaying content (text or images) that may be reasonably considered offensive in a public setting. “This could be content that is graphically violent, overtly sexual, or that con-

tains threatening language, to provide a few examples,” the statement reads. “And, if this occurs, our practice will be to ask people to turn it off or shut it down.” The policy was updated following discussions Tierney had with library staff, his fellow councillors, library board members and residents, and following questions he posed to councillors in other jurisdictions. “The consensus was pretty straightforward,” he said.

I am too busy. I do not have the time for this. I work, I exercise and I spend time with my family and friends. I do not want to talk about this. My husband and I still have so much time ahead of us. However, thinking about what our neighbours went through, having to figure it all out, without knowing what her father wanted. Her mother was not up to it and her siblings were all over Canada. I could not imagine the stress of it all. I tried to help, brought over food, sent flowers and spent some time with her. I felt helpless, that I could not do more. She must have felt so alone. I do not want to put my kids through that. I know I do not have a lot of spare time but I need to do this. I need to make the time; make sure that everything is prepared and ready for my kids.

May 7, 2017 was a special day for many young, amateur Canadian football players. They’d find out that day if their dream of becoming professional football players would be a reality. The Ottawa Redblacks made it a reality for eight Canadian players. But that wasn’t just the culmination of a dream. It was the start of a lot of hard work and uncertainty. In eight rounds the Redblacks drafted, in order, offensive lineman Evan Johnson, running back Anthony Gosselin, defensive lineman Eli Ankou, running back Louis-Philippe Bourassa, defensive lineman Mathieu Dupuis, receiver Austen Hartley, running back Ed Ilnicki and Jordan Filippelli. Of those eight selected players, only four remain

on the roster heading into Friday’s game against Winnipeg – Johnson, Hartley, Gosselin and Bourassa.Third-round pick Ankou, who played college football at UCLA, was signed by an NFL team and has played in the first two games of the season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Redblacks knew this was a possibility but drafted him anyway. The other three draft picks were released by the team during the pre-season process. Following an early September practice, coach Rick Campbell said his remaining Canadian rookies are acclimatizing well. “They’ve integrated themselves well,” he told Metroland Media. “They keep getting more experience every week, which is good. It was a good draft class for us. They’re going to be guys that can play in this league for a while.”

The Redblacks firstround pick, ninth overall, Johnson, is a 6-foot-3 University of Saskatchewan product. “He’s getting better and better,” Campbell said. “If that guy stays healthy, I think he’s going to be a player in this league for a long, long time.” Johnson has been working hard, on and off the field, for the Redblacks. “I’ve been having a great time out here so far. It’s been a good season so far and I feel like I am adapting to the CFL game pretty good here so far. I’m getting in a few games, a few plays here and there, getting some good game action and just trying to keep learning each day.” Jake Davies/Metroland One of the biggest challenges Johnson has faced since going professional, Rookie offensive lineman Evan Johnson, drafted has been a small move. out of the University of Saskachewan, has recentSee ROOKIES on page 18

Woods walk to highlight wonders of mushroom BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

It’s been a fabulous end to summer and a perfect year for mushrooms. Join the Friends of the Carp Hills on Sunday, Oct. 1 for a four-kilometre hike with amateur mycologist Suzanne Monnon. “The walk will start by entering the rich deciduous woods of Sugar Maple, Yellow Birch, and Butternut at the Carp EcoWellness Centre,” chair of the Friends of Carp Hills, Janet Mason said. “Last fall botanist Dr. Ted Mosquin walked the EcoWellness Centre property and was thrilled to find many mushroom species. Such fungal bio-diversity is an indicator of a healthy and undisturbed forest ecosystem.” The hike starts at 1:30 p.m. from the Carp EcoWellness Centre location, off of Thomas A. Dolan Drive. The hike is a fundraiser for the Friends of the Carp Hill and they are requesting a $10 donation. Orga-

Hunt mushrooms on Sunday, Oct. 1. nizers are requesting you arrive between 1 and 1:20 p.m. to register. Mason says the event will be a combination of beautiful scenery, mushroom education and wonderful way to spend a fall Sunday. “Surrounded by autumn colour and fallen leaves the participants will look for mushrooms on the forest floor, rot-

ting logs and standing trees.” She said. “Children love to find mushrooms and, from their lower vantage point, often spot ones that adults can’t see. Carrying a basket to collect specimens, Suzanne will identify each mushroom and describe its preferred habitat, sometimes using a knife to reveal its internal structure.” The guided portion of the walk is expected to take about two hours and is unlikely to complete the four-kilometer trail. Those wishing to continue on the trail, which loops back to the parking lot, may do so. Organizers recommend wearing hiking boots, suitable clothing, and tuck your pants into your socks. There may be ticks on the property. “You can bring a knife and small magnifier if you want to examine the mushrooms we will find,” Mason said. The event will run rain or shine, unless it is really pouring. “Mushrooms like rain,” Mason said.

But Johnson earned his first start of the season on Sept. 17 playing left guard against the Montreal Alouettes. Johnson and the rest of the offensive line helped running back William Powell run for a season-high 144 yards, and a 29-11 win. Campbell was pleased

with Johnson’s effort. “He did very well and I am not surprised,” Campbell said. “I think he’s a guy who can play in this league for a long time for a couple of reasons. For one, he’s very athletic and two he has the right demeanour and mindset. He’s not afraid to go against the highest level

Second-round pick Gosselin, is trying to get back on the field following an early-season injury. The University of Sherbrooke product ran the fastest 40yard time for any running back at the CFL combine, clocking 4.73 seconds. He was considered the consensus top fullback available in the 2017 CFL draft, known as a strong blocker who can catch the ball out of the backfield.. Gosselin was invited to the NFL Kansas City Chiefs mini-camp in May, but was released and returned, and signed with the Redblacks.

Gosselin suffered a concussion and spent the next six weeks working through the league’s concussion protocols. “It was my first concussion so I did not know all the protocols involved in getting back on the field, or even what one felt like,” he said. He’s now been cleared to return to football, but finds himself on the 46-man roster, meaning he’s part of the reserve roster come game time. Gosselin says he’s been using his time on the sideline to learn. “I’m learning a lot from Pat Lavoie, who I am backing up,” he said. “I watch him a lot, when it’s walk through or we’re getting some reps, I’m 15 yards right back behind him.” Gosselin is making

Louis-Philippe Bourassa has switched positions from running back to long snapper in order to find a role with the Redblacks. the most of whatever football opportunities come his way. “I’m enjoying it a lot,” he said. “It’s what I want to be. What I want when I get dressed in the morning, is to be here.” University of Calgary product Hartley has spent time this season bouncing between the active roster, the 46-man roster and the practice roster. He’s earned playing time on the special teams unit and is doing whatever

he is asked to do. “He’s playing well on special teams,” Campbell said. “He’s another guy who is very promising. He’s developing as a receiver and contributing for us on special teams this year.” Fourth-round pick, running back Bourassa, has worked hard to transition to the long snapper position. For rookies, contributing to the Redblacks isn’t just about what happens on the field.

Many Redblacks players are often found out in the community teaching kids about football, or helping out - as players did during the Ottawa River flood last spring. “That’s a big part for us,” Campbell said. “We think it’s really important to get in to the community and do stuff off the field. We really like to integrate those young guys in to that and they’ve been fantastic. They give back, which is great.” While a professional football career is more often than not a brief one, these Redblack rookies are doing everything they can to impress the coach and extend their stay in Ottawa. “Really enjoying it,” Johnson said. “This is a really nice city. Lots of green space out here. Good fan support and I have a great time playing out here.”

Moose currently in a real rut BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

Special to the Review

ADS HAVE CHANGED A LOT OVER THE YEARS, but one thing remains the same: truth in advertising matters. adstandards.ca

Truthful, Fair, and Accurate.

MATCH SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2PM OT TAWA F U RY FC.C OM 20 West Carleton Review - Thursday, September 28, 2017

Autumn is here and despite the recent, unseasonably high temperatures, natural history phenomena are proceeding on schedule. Goldenrods and asters dominate the landscape. Canada geese numbers are on the rise and moose are in their rut. The rut — the moose’s breeding season — extends from mid-September to midOctober. Its age-old rituals are dominated by elegant displays and, on occasion, aggressive behaviour. Over the past two weeks I looked for rutting moose in Algonquin Park. Fresh tracks meandering along old roads or trails, shrubs with smashed branches, and loud moans of female moose are signs the rut has begun. It was shortly after 6 a.m. and I was walking to West Rose Lake on

the Mizzy Lake Trail where on the previous morning I watched a large cow eating aquatic plants, and later, fording the creek on the opposite side of the rail bed. On this morning, I encountered plenty of moose signs a kilometre before the lake. Extremely fresh tracks of two large and one small moose zigzagged across the rail bed. I stopped and listened intently but apart from the half-hearted song of a white-throated sparrow, it was silent. I quietly continued on, scanning for moose near a small pond. After passing the pond I came around a bend and to my great surprise, looked directly into the eyes of a large cow moose. Beside her was her calf, which also silently stared at me. I froze and both moose remained motionless. After several minutes a loud “crack” of a breaking branch

caused them to look to the side. Another “crack” and a reasonably large bull sauntered out of the forest. The bull stopped and stared at me. By now the light was sufficient for a few photos, and I took advantage of it. Eventually, the cow began browsing on maples beside the rail bed, the calf following her lead. I became nervous when both began moving toward me, the bull in close pursuit. I carefully moved backwards, keeping my eye on the trio while planning an escape route if necessary. Suddenly the cow began moaning loudly and the bull began uttering guttural “gawunks” while his tongue licked the air for love scents. It was clear these moose were ready to mate. Fortunately for me, the cow left the rail bed and slowly strolled into the woods, the calf and bull close be-

hind. I quietly snuck down to the edge of the pond and hid at a good vantage point. The cow and calf were visible but the bull was not, so I uttered a few cow calls. Eventually the bull responded and came into view. As it approached the cow, both began to vocalize and I got ready to photograph mating. Just then a photographer wandered along the trail and spotted me, and then the moose. He started down the bank near me, spooking the moose in the process. They left and could not be coaxed out again. Their love calls soon faded as they moved away. The photographer’s actions likely prevented me from recording a rarely seen event. But perhaps some behaviours are best kept away from probing eyes and cameras! The nature email is mruntz@start.ca

Invictus Games / Flag Tour

Since their inception in 2014, the Invictus Games have shone an international light on the unconquerable spirit of wounded, ill and injured servicemen, servicewomen and Veterans. The Games will present a unique opportunity for Canadians to honour the men, women and families who have made such great sacrifices for their country, and will provide our active and Veteran service members with an opportunity to showcase their unconquerable spirit on an international stage. The Invictus Games Toronto 2017 will be the third and largest Games yet. I was so honoured to participate both in the departure ceremony for Ottawa-area participants as they boarded their train to Toronto, and at the Westboro Legion as the Invictus flag made its way through Ottawa. We should all be proud of our athletes and wish them the best of luck in Toronto. Go Canada Go!

Davtair Industries Visit

I had the opportunity to tour the Davtair Industries office in Kanata.

I want to thank my great hosts at Davtair for the visit, and highlight their contribution to our growing Kanata economy.

Community Events Jake Davies/Metroland

With summer drawing to a close and the new Parliamentary session upon us, I spent last week travelling to the many events taking place across the riding, speaking with constituents and enjoying all the best our riding has to offer. I was among the many that laced up their shoes and walked in the Terry Fox Run in Kanata, alongside Councillors Allan Hubley, Shad Qadri, and Marianne Wilkinson. I also had the pleasure of joining Ms. Wilkinson and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson at the Kanata Seniors Council’s Expo 55+, an event that highlights the many different organizations that provide health and social services for seniors in our communities. I had a great time at the St. Gabriel’s Annual Roast Beef Dinner in Constance Bay and was thrilled to join Councillor Eli El-Chantiry at the West Carleton Legion’s Honours and Awards dinner. It was great to participate in presenting Eli with his 20 year membership pin. Thank you Kanata-Carleton for making this summer’s events so incredible!

Hurting our Doctors The tax changes being introduced by the federal government are going to hurt people across Canada. One specific group that will take a beating will be Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors. The Prime Minister has attempted to demonize doctors as wealthy tax cheats who are paid too much. Why he would insult the people who carry out such vital services, I do not know. In the case of doctors, many of whom are incorporated and bill the provincial governments for services rendered, these taxes will hurt their ability to serve patients. Doctors that choose to incorporate are able to hold some capital that they can use to upgrade offices, purchase equipment and hire staff without needing to declare that capital as income. If the government were to come along and tax this money at a much higher rate patients will be seen in older facilities, have less access to medical technology and have fewer staff caring for them. We cannot just assume doctors will automatically adjust to these changes, when so many of them and their associations are opposed we must listen. In New Brunswick, 65% of doctors have said they would likely leave the province with these new changes. The same will happen in other provinces. We cannot allow for this tax grab to lead to a brain drain that will hurt patients.

Library has more filters than most ters be put in place to restrict access to information, and shared her views in a letter she wrote Sept. 14 to Tierney and McDonald in response to the Greenboro incident and McDonald’s initial explanation. However, a stronger policy “would send a clear message to library patrons that their public library is not only a place that protects and supports intellectual freedom, but it is also a place that values the safety and security of its clients at all ages,” Deans wrote. “While I too support intellectual freedom and appreciate that OPL is not in the business of censorship, I do not consider the viewing of pornography as being an appropriate activity in a public place.” Given the transition toward a more high-tech environment within the library system over the last two to three decades, it’s only natural that policies be updated to reflect that changing environment, said Tierney. “Do I think this is the last evolution of the policy? No,” he said. “There will be a new technology or there will be something new offered in the library that will force us to review it, and it should be part of a standard review process.” Though now official, the policy update won’t be instant given the size of Ottawa’s library system, which has 33 branches and 650 staff members. “It does take a bit of time for the policies to trickle through the system,” Tierney said. “But they’re anxiously moving ahead with it.”

From page 12

“And if we’re able to make ourselves on par with other library systems across the country, where they have this policy, it behooves us to do it.” The solution is not as simple as putting up a firewall on the library’s computer networks to block unauthorized access. “I have an IT background. You can get around any firewall with pornography. There’s only so much you can do,” Tierney said. “I think we’ve struck the perfect balance between integral freedoms as well as making sure that our clientele feel a level of comfort — if they see something wrong that they can report it and it will be addressed.” Tierney did not respond to a subsequent request to speak about why an outright ban on the viewing of explicit online material was not enacted. A 2015 third-party review of the library’s practices found it uses more filters than most public libraries in Canada, McDonald said in her email to councillors. Filters are in place for illegal materials, such as child pornography. “Since implementation of our tools and policies in 2015, the OPL has seen a significant reduction in the number of reported incidents of customers viewing what may be considered inappropriate content,” McDonald wrote. “Specifically, we have gone from 15 incidents (in 2015) to three (so far) in 2017. “ Deans said she too supports intellectual freedom and is not suggesting that fil-

My friend and I have an idea for a business and we are considering forming a partnership. How does a partnership work and how should one be setup? Whether a partnership exists is a fundamentally a legal question. Ontario’s Partnerships Act says that a relationship between “persons carrying on a business in common with a view to profit” is a partnership within the meaning of the Act. This is important because it means that whether you declare yourself to be a partnership, legally speaking, you might be a partnership anyways, whether you intended to or not. A partnership can exist between you and your friend personally, or even as between two corporations controlled by each of you. Unlike a corporation, however, a partnership has no separate legal existence from the partners themselves and each partner has the power to bind the partnership and each partner is jointly liable for any obligations incurred on behalf of the firm.

situations, should lead to you to consider the liability protection provided by incorporation. A partnership agreement is highly recommended. A partnership agreement sets out the rights and obligations for partners in the partnership and provides for what should happen in circumstances of partnership incapacity, retirement or death. Without one, the Partnerships Act will provide for what happens to the partnership in these circumstances, sometimes with undesirable results. A partnership agreement can also provide mechanisms for the distribution of partnership income and a process for bringing additional persons into the partnership or their expulsion. Creating a partnership agreement that meets your goals with the help of a business lawyer ensures that your partnership will continue in a manner of your design.

Huntley school raising money with fresh food BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Huntley Centennial Public School is raising money with Ontario produce. The parent council is part of the Fresh From the Farm initiative. The program is billed as a healthy fundraiser that is educational, exciting and profitable. Students sell Ontariogrown fruit and vegetables to the Huntley school community helping to support the local economy and Ontario farmers. The program is a collaborative initiative between the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Dietitians of Canada and the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association. The www.fresfromfarm.ca website says 40 per cent of sales goes to the school. Huntley teacher Jen Fry, who sits on the parent council as a school representative, says the council chose this fundraising initiative because it “supports Ontario farmers and that is important and close to home

Jake Davies/Metroland

Huntley Centennial Public School Kindergarten students Chase, Gavin, Fergus, Ciara, Quinn, Ember, and Kenzie hope you get your produce order in by Oct. 3. given the rural community Huntley is in.” Those interested in raising funds and eating local produce can choose between two bundles. One bundle contains five pounds of white potatoes, three pounds of carrots, three pounds of yellow onions and three pounds of sweet potatoes for $13. The other bundle is an eight-pound box of 20 to 25 fancy grade Empire apples for $15.

Huntley will be accepting orders up to Oct. 3 and delivery of the produce is expected in November. The parent council will use the money “to enhance the materials, resources and education opportunities for all our students,” Fry said. Last year the council purchased a wide variety of items for Huntley including live arts performances, lines for the school field, science equipment, skating helmets,

cameras, team sports jerseys and gardening materials. If you would like to place an order, but do not have a contact at the school, you can email healthyhuntley@ gmail.com to make arrangements. If you would like to donate a produce bundle to the West Carleton Food Access Centre, the parent council will personally deliver donated food to the centre. You can do so through the same email.

Ward 5 West Carleton-September Yield to vehicles with flashing green lights Do you know what it means if you see flashing green lights in the front window of another car? Volunteer firefighters activate flashing green lights in their cars and can activate them when they’re responding to an emergency. The lights are meant to signal other drivers that they are travelling to an emergency. If you see flashing green lights, please pull off the road to the right and yield the right of way. Every second counts for first responders – especially in the large rural ward of West Carleton-March. My Thanksgiving food drive continues Please consider giving to my Thanksgiving food drive. My ward office at 5670 Carp Rd. is collecting items. I’m specifically requesting Thanksgivingthemed items such as: canned fruit, canned pumpkin, cranberry sauce, canned peas, canned gravy, boxes of stuffing, packages of cookies, jars of jam, coffee and tea. (Expired items won’t be accepted). Items can be dropped off Monday thru Friday from 9am to 4pm until Friday, October 6.

frolicking polar bears, majestic Mounties, and, new this season, frisky holiday reindeer. This Nutcracker is a jubilant, shimmering, Canadian holiday treasure that honours tradition while adding a playful, delightful homegrown touch. Set to Tchaikovsky’s beloved music, and with stunning sets and costumes, this Canadian Nutcracker fills the heart with joy and wonder. We are excited to announce that eight WCSOPA students have been selected to perform with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet from Dec. 6 to Dec. 10 at the National Arts Centre. Holly Nickerson, Ava McKnight, Maya McKnight, Nelaya Boyd, and Ella Haycox were cast as reindeer. Cassandra Brisson was cast as a polar bear. Calli Macdonald was cast as a party girl and Henry Gallant was cast as a party boy/ Mountie. Susanna Tzemenakis is on the waitlist to be a mouse.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife in Ottawa in the 1950s. Vicky always had a way with food – and she loved to feed people. She worked in the cafeteria at Carleton University for a time, as a caterer, and a server at the Chateau Laurier. She had an extremely strong work ethic and didn’t let language barriers or any other obstacles stand in her way. I seem to have inherited her uber-optimistic personality, waking up after a negative experience with the attitude, “Today is another day. The slate is wiped clean. The possibilities are endless.” My grandmother was one of the first people to

teach me about a sustainable lifestyle. Living in a little renovated schoolhouse near Gracefield, she kept a garden, chopped wood to heat her house and traded goods for milk and eggs. During blueberry season Grandma would take a few tin buckets to the rocky hillside and disappear for the morning. She brought back enough berries for everyone to enjoy fresh and for the winter too. Her raspberry preserves were my favourite, though. A spoonful of that sugary concoction with a blob of fresh cream on top was a dessert fit for the Chateau Laurier dining room.

Grandma’s homemade strawberry wine was also a hit. Grandma had a song for every occasion. She passed this on to my mother, who raised us with “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!” and put us to bed with Brahms’ lullaby. Raising my own three girls, I found myself inventing songs for brushing teeth, putting toys away, washing dishes and eating lunch, among other daily activities. Now I watch as my daughter Anastasia makes up songs for her little Leti. The tradition continues. Perhaps because she spent so much time out-ofdoors, doing physical work, Grandma was strong and healthy well into her 90s. When she fell and broke her hip, the doctors were amazed at how healthy the rest of her was. She was one of the youngest patients in the physio rehabilitation program at the Elizabeth Bru-

yère Centre. Grandma finally passed away on Sept. 11. Even after a stroke, her heart was very strong. I think she would still be here today if not for a conscious decision to leave. She decided 102 years was enough. Time for a rest. When we cleaned out her room we saw that she still enjoyed a good love story, the occasional chocolate bar, and one alcoholic drink (for medicinal purposes, of course) nearly every day. We will celebrate her life on Thanksgiving weekend and raise a glass of her favourite beer, and we might even try a few bars of one of her favourite French Canadian pub songs. Her lessons to us are: don’t take life too seriously; let hard work be your exercise; spend more time appreciating than wanting; and an awkward silence can always be filled with laughter or song.

Fall ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

Yard maintenance: a short guide to those fall chores Summer vacation is a thing of the past and a few tidy-up jobs are waiting for you in the yard. That’s right; your yard is in great need of some TLC at this time of year. TAKE A WALK IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

After you’ve harvested your delicious homegrown vegetables, all the weeds and pests have to be removed from your vegetable plot. This is also the time to take stock and plan for next year. Evaluate the performance of your garden and take note of any problems you experienced during the growing season (insects, diseases, plants too close together, etc.). This will help you correct things next time around. If you didn’t take note of the location of your various vegetables when you sowed them, you should do so now.

That way, you can rotate your crop next summer. And if you want to enjoy garlic next year, now’s the time to plant your bulbs. ...AND AROUND THE FLOWER BEDS

This is definitely not the time to sit back and relax as far as your flowerbeds are concerned. In fact, a good cleaning up is required. Dig up weeds, as well as any annuals that have been damaged by the first frosts. Trim the stems of plants susceptible to disease and the foliage of perennials. Fall is also the ideal time to test your soil and amend it

where necessary. Divide your perennials and plant spring bulbs. Non-hardy bulbs should be dug up after the first frost. Leave them to dry and then remove the excess soil before storing them in a cool, dry, dark place for replanting next year. TAKE CARE OF THE LAWN

Spoiling your lawn all summer is not enough for it to stay beautiful and healthy. Fall is the time to reseed bare spots, aerate the soil, add compost and spread a potassium-rich natural fertilizer. You should also remove

any dead leaves, as a thick carpet of leaf debris deprives the grass of light and may cause it to die off. Shred the leaves and compost them, or let them decompose on the ground. In October, you should also mow the lawn for the last time, being sure to leave it at a height of five centimeters so it will be protected from temperature changes. CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THE DECK

Cool fall days are perfect for doing maintenance work on your deck. Remove any weeds and debris stuck between the

planks and steps of the deck and then repair or replace damaged planks and wobbly posts. You should also sand any rough spots that may cause splinters and fill cracks with wood putty. A thorough cleaning is also a good idea. Use a pressure washer (on the lowest setting to avoid damaging the surface) and a

cleaning product that’s suitable for your type of wood. Then treat or stain your deck so it stays beautiful for as long as possible. Raking up fallen leaves; cutting back perennials; mowing the lawn for the last time and maintaining the deck: there is a lot to do in the yard once fall arrives. Are you ready for this final blitz before winter arrives?

Tips for putting your garden to bed this fall SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

(NC) The Canadian winter climate can take its toll, but with the proper fall maintenance you can set your lawn and garden down for a rest. “After a busy summer of mowing and maintenance, your lawn and garden will need some special care before the snow falls,” says Michelle Sordi, director of marketing for Husqvarna. “You can however, jump start your spring chores for growing a healthier garden.” To ensure your garden survives the winter and has the ultimate spring awakening, the pros from Husqvarna recommend the following steps: • Clean up the area: Be sure to remove any dead foliage, this will prevent a difficult spring cleanup and overgrown weeds.

Harvest everything above ground in the vegetable garden to avoid attracting animals and pests. • Protect your shrubs: To help keep your shrubs healthy, generously water them before wrapping in burlap for the winter. When wrapping, work your way from the bottom up to prevent the bending of branches in an unnatural form. • Fertilize before the frost: Your grass will start to slow its growth so it is important to fertilize it with the appropriate nutrients to survive the harsh months ahead. Also, the clippings from the final mowing should be left on the lawn as mulch to help protect the delicate crowns of the grass plants and lock in nutrients. • Take it indoors: Some plants fare better indoors during the winter but before you

make the switch, immerse the pots in lukewarm water to help remove insects and prevent other unwanted critters from transferring into your home. Also check the leaves of the plant and give them a quick rinse as an added precaution. • Store your tools properly: Last, but not least, remember to clean all your gardening tools thoroughly before storing them indoors. Use soap and water to remove residual dirt and dried-on materials from tool surfaces. Be sure to drain the fuel from mowers as gasoline left in fuel tanks will break down, leaving deposits and build-up that will plug up the fuel system. Additional lawn and gardening tips can be found online at www.husqvarna.ca. - newscanada.com

‘Tis the season to start getting your garden ready for winter.

City making ‘monumental effort’ to improve senior care BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

It’s a tough job dealing with some of our most vulnerable residents, but the city says it is doing what it can to improve care at the four municipally-run long-term care homes. The oldest resident in the city’s homes is 109 years old, the youngest 43. Staff highlighted the differences, as well as the complex medical needs, in a report to the community and protective services committee on Sept. 21. The committee heard the report as part of the response to a “direction” from the province following a string of events, which included covered up injuries and abuse at the Garry J. Armstrong home on Island Lodge Road. The incidents resulted in a director referral order from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The order made a series of suggestions — including the supervision of non-regulated staff, such as support workers. Among the complaints was a staff member punching a resident in the face. There are 712 residents at the city’s four long-term care homes. Garry J. Armstrong is the subject of four complaints under the Long-Term Health Care Act subsection that deals with abuse and neglect. There are 1,023 staff members for those homes. Residents could come in contact with as many as 15 staff daily and 468 of those staff members are personal support workers. Among the fixes proposed by staff are an advisory group, made up of families of residents, staff, stakeholders and management. There was a feedback session held at the Carleton Lodge in Nepean on Sept. 20, with more than 100 attendees and 40 pages of comments. Janice Burelle, general manager of community and social services, said staff is going over the comments and stakeholder engagement will continue into October. Dean Lett, head of long-term care for the city, said all mandatory training on abuse will be done by Dec. 1 for current employees. The group has met weekly since mid-August when the order was issued, said Burelle. There are also plans for mandatory train-

ing to be done annually on things like infec- resident,” he said, adding the city was surtion control and abuse.

Tax Changes – Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace This is a call to action for every member of our community to speak up against the proposed federal tax changes and encourage others to do the same. Our government has proposed the most radical business tax overhaul in 50 years. This announcement came on July 18, 2017 with only 75 days of consultation which ends on October 2, 2017. The main concerns of our Canadian controlled private corporations, include (1) a new tax (effectively 73%) on investment income in a corporation, (2) a much higher tax rate for compensation in a family business deemed “unreasonable,” and (3) new, tougher rules for converting income to capital gains. The timing and delivery of the proposed changes indicates a determination by the government to move forward despite desperate requests from Chambers of Commerce, business associations and business leaders across the country to slow down the process. A change of this magnitude demands adequate time and consultation in order to assess the many unintended consequences. The legislation in its current form will result in adversely impacting our economy and creating unfairness in our system. It is not just business owners who will pay the price, it will be all of us. That is why it is imperative we raise our voice on this issue. These changes are directly and immediately damaging to businesses that form the backbone of many Canadian communities. We know between 85-90 per cent of businesses in Canada are small and medium-sized and nearly 50% (1,297,000) of (2,825,300) self-employed Canadians head businesses that are incorporated (either with or without paid help). Incorporated companies are not only large - they are small too! If you are not a business owner, someone close to you is or relies on independent business for their livelihood. Business owners have been structuring their businesses and planning their futures on legitimate tax strategies that have been refined and tested over decades. These are not loopholes. These tax planning strategies were established many years ago, to encourage the growth, innovation and entrepreneurship and to compensate small business owners for the higher level of risk they undertake, compared to that of an employee. Our business owners have work hard, invest personal assets, call on friends and family to help, support the families of their employees and contribute to their communities. Now they are being positioned as “tax evaders” and we are all being told we do not understand. We understand. This proposal is outrageous. No other country has tried to impose such punitive tax measures on small business. Legitimate SMEs will be swept up by changes to catch a few bad apples. Does that seem reasonable? What can you do? Please voice your concern and spread the word. Let your networks and neighbors know that this is not a business issue. It is an economic issue that will impact every Canadian. Please call or write your MP. Ask for justification for this tax overhaul and ask if they have assessed the real economic impact of this legislation.

CHELSEA, RDH

Please share your story – if you are a business owner, let your MP, your Chamber and others know how the proposed tax changes will affect their business.

Cheers to your success! Sueling Ching CEO, West Ottawa Board of Trade www.westottawabot.com

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

sudoku

Bearsaeinrs

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may seem like you have long been preparing for a big event. Now is your chance to finally take action. Try to do something proactive this week. You are ready to move forward.

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!

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Your inspiration comes from a blend of methodical planning as well as clever inspiration, Leo. The results will be exceptional if you keep at it.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may head in one direction only to find that you might have been better off going elsewhere. Eventually you will get your bearings.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, reality is setting in this week, and you realize just how much you need to catch up on. There is no more room for procrastination. It is time to get busy.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you step out of your comfort zone, you will not venture too far. That is fine by you since you tend to be a creature of habit. Just expand your reach a little bit.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Take a risk at work, Capricorn. If you consistently sit in the shadows, then you won’t ever get ahead. Try a few things to make an impact without generating big waves.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, an attitude about a particular relationship is changing, and you may need to go with the flow. This may result in some self-doubt, but you can make it through.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Your friendly attitude can be just what others need in the week ahead, Libra. They simply cannot resist your charms, and you can help them to settle down.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Making decisions this week requires little effort on your part, Aquarius. That’s because all of your stress has melted away in the last few days and things are relatively easy.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, shifting circumstances at work may leave you a little confused. Reassess your situation and come up with a new plan. Work collectively toward the goal.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, recognition is coming your way. Embrace the attention and recognize that it is not unfounded. You earned the praise about to be heaped on you.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, even though everything seems predictable right now, things are about to get a little backwards in the next few days
