Small, vocal crowd attends city’s first budget consult BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Only 22 area residents sat down for the Tuesday, Sept. 12 City of Ottawa pre-budget consultation held in Kinburn, but they were a vocal lot. West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry hosted the event billed as a Pre-Budget Consultation and Meet Your City Services Night held at the Kinburn Community Centre. This was the second of four such sessions planned this week, including two at city hall last Monday and Saturday. Doors opened at 6 p.m. with area residents getting an opportunity to talk with Ottawa staff from departments such as By-Law, Fire Services, Ottawa Public Health, ParaTranspo, Planning, Infrastructure, Roads, Rural Affairs, Police and Ottawa 2017 – city departments that all set up small booths to share information. Mayor Jim Watson also dropped by the event, but did not stick around to take part in the budget consultation starting at 7 p.m. Coun. El-Chantiry took the lead for that discussion with support from deputy city treasurer of Corporate Finance, Isabelle Jasmin, manager, Asset Management, Planning Infrastructure, Kelly Martin and director, Roads

While less than half the chairs laid out for attendees were filled, they were filled with several of West Carleton’s vocal community leaders including former city councillor candidate Adele Muldoon, rural internet and roads champion Ken Holmes

and Carleton Landowners Association president Shirley Dolan to name a few. The discussion part of the evening started with a look back. In 2017 Ottawa’s operating budget was $3.272 billion. Forty-seven per cent of that is raised by property taxes, 24 per cent through fees and ser-

vice charges and 18 per cent through federal and provincial grants. In 2017 the capital budget (money spent on new projects including transportation, wastewater services and drinking water) was $656.6 million. Deputy city treasurer Jasmin spoke of the evening’s

goal. “We’re looking for feedback as much as possible,” she said. “We really appreciate you coming out.” Holmes addressed ElChantiry with a focus on the past as well. See BUDGET on Page 7

Carp area apple orchard survives soggy summer BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Like many agriculturalbased businesses this summer, the record-breaking rain made for challenging times harvesting apples. Orchardist Randy Maguire, who owns Harvest Moon Orchards, expects to be down when the harvesting season ends. “We’re down 20 per cent, but we still had a good crop,” he told the West Carleton Review

from his orchard just outside of Carp. “We won’t be wholesaling this year and we’ll be stretching to get to Dec. 1. By then we probably won’t have many varieties left. During a good year we average about 1,600 bushels of picked apples. This year, we’ll get about 1,000 bushels. But they’re good and they are big apples.” The harvest starts around the last week of July and continues to about Oct. 1 depending on

the variety. Maguire has suffered the same fate as many apple producers this year. The Ontario Apple Growers (OAG) represents the province’s 200 commercial apple farmers. The association recently announced Ontario’s crop volume will be slightly lower this year compared to last, but the fruit will be larger, juicier and more colourful. Last year’s drought struck many of Ontario’s apple growing regions. The OAG also says the crop will be approximately 20 per cent less than last year. Maguire grows about 60 varieties of apples on his orchard he began in 1986. He sells at the Carp Farmer’s Market and, for the last 12 years, out of his own store he built 2005 along with a cold storage room to house his apples. He learned early in his orchardist career.

Panmure area straw bale home stop on provincial tour BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

You can huff, and you can puff, but you won’t blow this straw bale home down. You can visit it though, this Sunday, Sept. 24, as one of the homes on the Ontario Natural Building Coalition’s, Natural Building Tour. Rick McPhail, who along with his wife Keryl Banks, will open their doors to the public, as one of the designated destinations of interest on the tour. They have only been living inside the doors since last December, but they enjoy their home so much they want to share the fairly rare insulation and design with anyone interested. “Every couple of weeks me and my wife look at each other and say, ‘oh my God, we love this house,” Rick told the West Carleton Review from his home on Vaughn Side Road, Monday, Sept. 18. “It’s just so comfortable.”

Rick McPhail, and his wife Keryl Banks (not pictured), are opening their doors to their Vaughn Side Road straw bale home on Sunday, Sept. 24. McPhail says his home has 3,000 bales inside the 2,000-squarefoot residence.

The first thing you notice when you walk in the home is the very thick frames on the exterior walls. That’s because 3,000 bales of straw insulate the 2,000 square-foot home built in 2002. Straw-bale construction involves using bales

of straw as structural elements, insulation or both. Research has shown straw-bale construction is a sustainable method for building from the standpoint of both materials and energy needed for heating and cooling. Advantages of straw-bale

construction over conventional building systems include the renewable nature of straw, cost, easy availability, naturally fireretardant and high insulation value. McPhail says straw bales make for an excellent insulator. The bales

people to show me how we can fix this problem.” Asset management manager Martin stressed the city is working on “a comprehensive management plant that includes roads,” that is expected to be completed by 2019. When others brought up the status of roads, ElChantiry offered them a solution suggesting higher taxes could pay for more road maintenance. This did not go over well with the crowd. “I have heard five different councillors say

‘how much are you willing to spend in taxes,’ and I think that’s unfair,” a resident said from the crowd. “If it’s my choice between spending $5 million on a turtle fence and $5 million on roads, I’m choosing roads every single time.” Muldoon offered some compliments to the city during her time at the mic. “I am pleased with the rural transportation service,” she said. “I want a promise we won’t lose this service and when demands increase, so will the budget. I am

“One of the problems I’ve had in the past is showing up for a transportation committee budget consultation, only to have the budget released the next day, making the whole consultation pointless,” he said. What seemed to be a priority for those in attendance was the roads. “You tell us roads are priority number one,” Holmes told the panel. “If you say roads are priority number one, I would hate to see how you treat priority 20.

While one resident felt the issue wasn’t really the city’s responsibility, he did feel the municipal level could help. “You can’t function as a business without high speed,” he said. “People can’t work from home.

I remind you there is an election in 2018. I don’t need anybody to tell me how bad the roads are but this is the budget we have. I need you to go out and talk to the mayor.”

Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

The End of the Family Farm More and more people are starting to realize that the federal government is launching an all-out attack on farmers and small business owners. At the time of writing two federal Liberal MPs have joined the opposition, one of them the chair of the House Finance Committee. As I said last week’s column, there many areas of the economy that will be impacted by these changes if passed into law. One of these impacts may well be the end of generational farms. Farmers are currently able to take advantage of certain measures that make operating a business that is entirely weather dependent more secure and affordable. These include paying members of the family for seasonal work they do on the farm, and an exemption from capital gains tax if the farm is sold to a family member. Unfortunately, the federal government has decided “to ensure that the richest Canadians pay their fair share of taxes.” This means that family farms will need to justify the “fairness” of family payments, and not only means that when a daughter buys the family farm there would be a massive capital gains tax, but if a large pension fund were to buy it they would not have to pay the tax. The Prime Minister says these measures are to ensure fairness, they will do anything but.

OPINION

Pot plan good first step

espite some reports that the sky is falling, Canada will legalize marijuana next year, and in Ontario, the government will be the only legal seller. This strict control – sales and distribution through LCBO channels – is a good idea. Ontario government sales will mean the proceeds of pot sales are removed from the hands of organized crime, and at the same time, will add a new tax revenue stream to support public services. The system proposed by the Ontario government will deliver quality control too, so users can be sure nothing scary has been added to their weed. With sales restricted to people age 19 and over, any “allure” of doing something illegal is removed. If the grey-hairs are puffing joints, how rebellious will it feel for a teen to get their hands on a baggie of pot? The LCBO system should also mean predictable prices and supply. And the staff will be the same professionals who run our liquor stores. And most importantly, we will no longer see smokers receive criminal records. Those records

hold people back and keep them from jobs where they could be more productive. To complete the sensible pot legalization circle, the Trudeau Liberals should erase the criminal records of anyone who, in the past, was convicted of marijuana possession. The only puzzling Queen’s Park decision is promising to create new pot outlets apart from existing liquor stores. Given that every LCBO store has good security and cash-handling processes, it makes no sense to create new places to sell pot, especially given the number of outlets that would be required across this huge province. It would be cheaper and more efficient to carve out one corner of each liquor store to sell pot. Separate outlets would require at least three staff members – no one will work alone of course – and someone has to give the others lunch breaks. In an existing liquor store, one or two staff members could move back and forth from the marijuana outlet to the liquor cash registers as required. But the sky is not falling. People smoke pot now and they will smoke pot after July 2018. They just won’t be arrested for it.

Climate change is not a spectator sport

ell … in Ottawa we get a little water in the basement and we scream bloody murder, demand that somebody do something about it and threaten to sue. Whereas, south of here, people have water on the living room floor, rivers where there once were streets and empty spaces where there once were roofs. It rather puts things into perspective. The main lesson isn’t that we should be grateful for what we have, although we should, but that we maybe should give some thought to how we might deal with calamitous weather. Of course, we assume it isn’t coming. We get snow, lots of it, cold, lots of that, and the occasional ice storm. But that’s about it. The really serious weather events are for people who live in warmer climes, near oceans.

regulate future growth and development with an eye to allowing rains to drain away, rather than paving every available acre. We can do necessary infrastructure spending to make sure that our storm sewers function effectively. In this respect we will remember that we elected a federal government that promised big-time spending on infrastructure and we can remind the government of that promise. The television images of death and destruction in warmer places can be mesmerizing but they shouldn’t distract us from the fact that bad things can happen here too. Meanwhile, we shouldn’t forget, in all the excitement, that climate change can be fought. All it takes is a lot political courage. Let’s see: that would involve taking on energy companies, increasing the amount of regulation involving what people can do with their

cars and increasing taxes so that necessary billions can be spent on public transit. Do you see any politicians, in this country or any other, willing to step up for that? No, neither do we.

West Carleton residents earn higher than average BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

The median household income for households in Kanata-Carleton for 2015 was $109,440, significantly higher than the national average. On Sept. 13, Statistics Cana-

da released a report on household income in Canada, using results from the 2016 census. Nationwide, the 2015 median household income rose to $70,366, up $7,000 from 2005. Income growth was slowest in Ontario and Quebec, which the report attributed to a de-

cline in manufacturing. The numbers mean the average household income in Kanata-Carleton is $39,074 more than the national average, based on pre-tax statistics. The average pre-tax income for a one-person household was $58,891 in Kanata-Car-

leton, while the average for a home with two or more income earners was $121,445. The statistics are reported for the entire Kanata-Carleton riding, which encompasses homes in Kanata and West Carleton. Across Canada, two-thirds of households contributed to some sort of registered savings account in 2015, whether it was an RRSP, RRP or TFSA. Nationwide, 96 per cent of

couples had both spouses reporting some sort of income — a dramatic increase from the mid-1970s, when Statistics Canada said only two-thirds did. Across Canada, same-sex couples reported high average incomes. Female same-sex couples had a median total income of $92,857, while male same-sex couples had a median income

of $100,707. Men are still more likely to be the higher-income recipient in heterosexual couples, though the gap is shrinking. In 1985, a man had a “relatively higher” income in 71.3 per cent of couples. Now, the man has a relatively higher income 50.7 per cent of the time, with the female earning a relatively higher amount 17.3 per cent of the time.

effective, Maguire said. Rain also promotes a disease Maguire says growers call apple scab. The rain releases spores on the ground which cause the ailment. He says some of his crop was affected by apple scab. “It’s labour intensive to deal with it,” Maguire said. He says apple scab does nothing to change the flavour or quality of the apple, but does leave unsightly marks on the peel. The marks do make them tougher to sell, even at a discount. “People want their apples to be perfect,” Maguire said.

Maguire says, despite the challenging year, he thinks his orchard has done better than most in the industry. And his most popular crop is ready for market. “My honey crisp is my big apple here,” Maguire said. “They are high, premium apples that sell at a good price. We were lucky with them and we got them indoors as soon as we could.” But the 2017 season will go down as another learning experience for Maguire. “There’s such a thing as too much rain,” he said.

Apples doing A-ok at orchard A portion of his apples have small dents and marks on the peel from being struck by hail. And when it wasn’t hailing, it almost certainly was raining. It was already the rainiest spring in Ottawa’s history, and it is an almost certainty 2017 will be the rainiest year on record. Harvest Moon Orchards is located part way up the Carp escarpment, so flooding wasn’t an issue, but the rain created other issues. Rain makes pollination less

Ticket holders could dream big with CHEO lottery BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

This year’s dream of a lifetime has a unique Canadian spin. The CHEO Foundation launched its single biggest fundraiser on Sept. 12 at the Manotick home that’s up for grabs, at 585 Chriscraft Way. CHEO’s 2017 Dream of a Lifetime Lottery tickets are now for sale and the grand prize, a sprawling 500 square metres home valued at $1.6 million is a sight to see. But this time the Dream Home, built by Minto has added something a little different. “The house has a Canadiana theme,” explained Anthony Minchella, director of sales for Minto. The home, dubbed the Red Maple, is inspired by Canada’s sesquicentennial – paying tribute to Canada’s heritage Minchella said. The colours in the home are inspired by the Hudson’s Bay green, red and yellow blanket, the hardwood floors are from reclaimed wood from the Ottawa

River and a kids playroom’s unlike any other – complete with an under the stairs playhouse. The adults also get a playroom or two – with multiple places to watch television – from a home theatre in the basement to a cozy spot in the living room adjacent to the kitchen. “All the features that are in this home are designed to get people talking about it,” Kevin Keohane, president of the foundation said. The design features also include exposed Douglas Fir beams, three unique fireplaces and soaring ceilings. Aside from the million dollar Dream Home, the grand prize includes $100,000 in cash, a 2018 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, house cleaning for a year from Molly Maid, $5,000 gift cards from Farm Boy and new this year, moving services from Fred Guy and Storage and legal services from Mann Lawyers. The total value of the grand prize is $1.8 million. The 2016 edition of the lottery generated more than $3.3 million, which will support the

For the Scott family, donating to CHEO makes all the difference. Wyatt Scott was born un-

able to open his mouth and has needed specialized care at the hospital. Now four years old, Wyatt spent the first three months of his life at CHEO, while his parents Amy Miville and An-

drew Scott learned how to take care of him. Miville said the Champlain Complex Care program gave her family the support and confidence to take Wyatt home and manage his care. “We got CPR training –

Wyatt was diagnosed with brainstem dysegenesis – which means he can’t open his mouth, or swallow and has difficulty speaking clearly. In the first four years of his life, he has been admitted to CHEO more than 40 times due to complications with his condition. “The best thing about CHEO is they make you feel like you're going to get out of this,” said Miville. Scott echoed his wife’s comments adding that the best thing is the nurses and doctors at CHEO make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Keohane said this lottery truly could help change the lives of the children who go to the hospital. “When you buy a ticket in the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery you really are im-

pacting the lives of CHEO families,” he said. Tickets are $100 each or three for $250 for a chance to win one of more than 5,100 prizes. Those purchased by midnight Nov. 17 are also entered for a chance to win an early bird prize package. Tickets for the 50/50 cash draw, which last year netted the winner more than $539,000, are available for $10 each, five for $25 or 15 for $50. This year, to celebrate the Grey Cup, ticket holders who purchased tickets before Sept. 22 are eligible to win one of five ticket packages to the 105th Grey Cup game at Lansdowne Park on Nov. 26. One hundred other people will also win a pair of tickets to the Ottawa RedBlacks last 2017 regular season game. Tickets can be ordered

THE WARMTH AND ELEGANCE OF A S O L A R I U M Whether you use it seasonally or all year long, a solarium is a great addition to any home. Using natural light to create a comforting and relaxing ambiance, a sunroom increases the square footage and value of your home. It also allows you to enjoy the health benefits of the sun and the beauty of the outdoors without being exposed to the elements. THREE SEASONS OR FOUR? Depending on your tastes and budget, you can opt for either a three-season solarium or one that can be used throughout the year. A three-season solarium is perfect for those looking to enjoy the first sun-filled days of spring to the last warm evenings of fall. This type of room is fairly easy to install since it doesn’t require any foundation work. Instead, the structure is simply placed against an existing wall and equipped with single-pane windows.

A four-season solarium, on the other hand, must be placed on a solid and secure foundation. It’s an aluminum, composite or wood extension of your home that must be able to support energy-efficient windows (double and tripled-glazed) that are made from tempered safety glass. Ideally, your sunroom will be outfitted with a bay window to help trap heat or to keep the room cool when it’s flooded by natural light. If you decide to go with a year-round solarium, buy Energy Star certified windows for superior energy efficiency. PLAN AHEAD Before beginning any work, always check with your municipality about the necessary bylaws to follow and permits to acquire. Moreover, since installing a solarium can involve some rather extensive work, it’s always best to trust the services of a certified contractor when adding one to your home.

“I LINGERED MOST ABOUT THE FIREPLACE... as The Most Vital Part of the House”

A solarium is the perfect place to relax.

television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects.

of hiring PROFESSIONAL 1 CONTRACTORS The DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and many homeowners who have embraced the DIY movement have discovered talents they never before knew they had. But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on

EXPERIENCE A trial and error approach can work with various projects and problems. But applying such an approach to home improvement projects is risky and potentially dangerous, not to mention costly. Experienced professional contractors with strong track records (seek recommendations from friends or neighbors) won’t have to go through trial and error and are therefore more likely than DIYers to complete a project on time and on budget.

INSPIRATION One oft-overlooked benefit of working with professional contractors is the likelihood that they can draw up ideas for projects that homeowners might otherwise never have thought up on their own. Homeowners without specific ideas in mind can ask contractors to come up with various scenarios before committing to a particular one. Veteran contractors can draw on years of experience to create designs that DIYers might be incapable of coming up with and/or incapable of seeing through to completion.

We’re right in your neighbourhood to help protect you better.

COST Conventional wisdom suggests it’s less expensive to do something yourself than to hire someone else to do it for you, but that’s not necessarily true of home improvement projects. Labor costs typically account for a substantial amount of professionally contracted projects, but homeowners can cut those costs by volunteering to do some of the simpler tasks themselves. In addition, contractors often purchase materials at a much lower cost than individual homeowners because contractors buy in bulk. So while labor costs might be lower on DIY projects, the cost of materials can offset those savings.

be prepared for prospective buyers to ask who worked on the project. Fearing potential problems down the road, some buyers might be put off by homes that were remodeled by DIYers and not professional contractors. Renovating a home on your own can be a rewarding project for homeowners. But it’s important that homeowners recognize the many benefits of working with professional contractors before making any final decisions with regard to who will tackle their next project.

RESALE VALUE Many homeowners renovate their homes with eyes on improving the resale value of those homes. But if homeowners want to showcase a newly remodeled kitchen when selling their homes, they should

MUST-HAVE KITCHEN REMODEL FEATURES Homeowners looking to renovate often see room for improvement in their kitchens and bathrooms. The National Association of Home Builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remodeling Market Index Survey, which measures conditions in the remodeling market, indicates that, in 2015, the two most common remodeling jobs were bathroom remodels (81 percent) and kitchen remodels (79 percent). According to HGTV and Statistics Brain, a new kitchen remodel for a kitchen measuring 12 by 12 feet may cost homeowners anywhere from $17,000 to $37,000. Before investing so

much into their remodeling projects, homeowners should think carefully about the features that will improve their time spent at home. When planning a kitchen renovation, homeowners may want to consider the following upgrades to make the room more enjoyable while improving its functionality. OVERSIZED SINK Although high-efficiency dishwashers are popular, deep sinks to soak soup pots or woks are still useful. Deep sinks may be preferable to double sinks, especially for

homeowners who use lots of kitchen tools when preparing meals. SOFT-CLOSING HINGES When replacing cabinets (or just the hardware), consider installing soft-closing hinges and slides on doors and drawers. These devices eliminate slamming and caught fingers, reducing noise and injuries in the kitchen. FOOT-PEDAL WATER OPERATION When outfitting a sink, think about foot controls, which are popular in doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices and hospitals. Turning on the water with the tap of a foot can reduce the transfer of pathogens to faucets from hands during food preparation. These pedals also

free up hands for other tasks. BOTTOMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S UP People likely spend more time raiding the refrigerator than the freezer on any given day. Rather than having to bend down to seek out that favorite flavor of Greek yogurt, choose a model with the fridge on top and freezer on the bottom, especially if anyone in the household has mobility issues. When shopping for refrigerators, French-door style units may offer even more access, making it easy for homeowners to slide fruit trays, sheet cakes and other large items into the fridge. EXTRA LIGHTING A kitchen should be a balance of form and function. A combination of overhead lighting, decorative lighting and task lighting can illuminate all areas of the space effectively. APPLIANCE GARAGES Architectural and design resource Houzz says that appliance garages are popular kitchen additions, too. Set at countertop level, these cabinets allow people to keep small appliances plugged in but tucked neatly behind closed doors.

Kitchen remodels are a sizable investment, and renovations can be customized to make the kitchen more hospitable for all in residence. VISIT OTTAWAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PREMIERE FLOORING CLEARANCE CENTRE cing! BOTTOM Pri K ROC IL 2018 HUGE Selection at ntil APR U Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Pay

Brault plays Diefenbaker in the Diefenbunker this weekend SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

October 1962. A world on the brink of nuclear war! Relive the heart stopping story of the Cuban Missile Crisis through the eyes of Canada’s 13th Prime Minister, John “Dief the Chief ” Diefenbaker. Travel with “Dief ” through the Diefenbunker, into the war room as he and the world watch the USA and USSR face off in history’s closest brush with nuclear war. Hear in his own words how Dief’s rocky relationship with President John F. Kennedy played an extraordinary role in Canadian/American relations and how each influenced the other’s policies. This immersive theatrical experience, written by playwright Pierre Brault and performed by Peter Haworth and Pierre Brault, is a unique opportunity to relive history

and to play a part in it. In partnership with Ottawa 2017, the Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum and Pierre Brault, Ottawa’s multi award-winning playwright and performer, have come together to create a dramatic and dynamic journey through the life and times of one of Canada’s most progressive leaders – John Diefenbaker.

New report shows national picture of opioid crisis BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER

michelle.nash@metroland.com

When it comes to opioid use in Ottawa, at Shepherds of Good Hope front line workers are just trying to keep their heads above water. Shepherds executive director Deirdre Freiheit says the country’s opioid crisis has hit the city — and the shelters — hard. “We are working with our partners in the community, really literally to make sure that people don’t die,” Freiheit said. “We are working day-to-day to provide the help and services that are required. But really we have never seen anything like this.” The Canadian Institute for Health Information released a report about the opioid crisis on Sept. 14 stating it has had significant impact on Canada’s health care system. “If you just look at the numbers, you can see the impact of the opioid crisis is increasing,” David O’Toole, president and FOR SALE

CEO of CIHI said. “There are more patients being seen in emergency departments, more patients being hospitalized, and the lengths of stay for hospitalizations are quite long — it all adds to the burden.” For Freiheit and Shepherds, the crisis has resulted in fatigued staff and overdoses they can’t keep up with. “We would have had a handful of overdoses a year or two ago, now we are seeing multiple overdoses every single day,” Freiheit said. Freiheit said measures the shelter put in place at the start of the summer, working with Ottawa Inner City Health, have made it possible for the workers to keep up with the new pace, but she is worried as the cold weather approaches. “We need help to sustain the pace,” she said. “We have cobbled together a lot of resources we don’t currently have, so our staff is working double duty — nurses, peer support workers,

ed 2,800 apparent opioid-related deaths in Canada in 2016 — or about eight every day. “This is a major public health crisis in Canada,” Tam said. This number, Tam added, is greater than the number of Canadians who died at the height of the HIV epidemic in 1995. Referring to the new data, Petitpas Taylor said this report gives the government information it didn’t have before. “We are gaining a better idea of the drugs and substance abuse patterns that are fuelling the crisis and who are most affected by overdoses,” she said, adding data also shows the drug crisis is not limited to opioids. “It’s important to note because it demonstrates the complexity of the issue,” Petitpas Taylor said. The health minister announced at the event that the Canadian Institute of Health Research will invest $7.5 million in new research programs to address some of the

Shepherds of Good Hope executive director Deirdre Freiheit reports the country’s opioid crisis has hit the city – and specifically their shelter really hard. Freiheit spoke about the issue on Sept. 14 at the shelter, after she and staff gave new Minister of Health, Ginette Petitpas Taylor a tour of their substance abuse programming. front line staff are overwhelmed with the number of interventions just to keep people alive.” The same day the report was released, Freiheit offered a tour of their treatment for substance abuse centre to federal Minister of Health Ginette Petitpas Taylor. Afterwards Petitpas Taylor addressed media. “This crisis affects people in

communities in this entire country,” she said. The report said there are an average of 16 opioid poisonings that result in hospitalization each day in this country. The age group with the fastest growing rate of hospitalization is young people aged 15 to 24. Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, reportFOR SALE

most urgent elements of this opioid crisis. “This investment will help enhance evidence base and harm reduction approaches that will help those dealing with this crisis on the ground and across the country,” Petitpas Taylor said. The minister said the government’s approach would be to work with partners to find new treatment options as well as reach out to other federal departments to develop training and awareness. Freiheit said to address the issue in Ottawa, specifically for Shepherds, she feels the community needs to work together. Currently, staff are constantly speaking with clients to better address their substance abuse issues and trying to cater to their specific needs — which means changing how they do things as they go, just to try to stay ahead of the crisis. “I think this is the tip of the iceberg and we need help,” Freiheit said.

Flood victims permit fees dropped BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Homeowners affected by the May flood won’t have to worry about permit fees for minor variances while they rebuild, council decided on Sept. 13. The city will offer a threeyear break for homeowners dealing with flooding damage, allowing them to skip the need to seek approval for minor variances, such as height changes,

adding stilts or changing the setback from the property line. The city’s top planning boss, Steve Willis, said anything rebuilt will likely be required to be flood-protected, meaning the building will likely sit higher off the ground, but added there’s no pot of money for relocation being made available. The move could save homeowners as much as $2,500 in administrative fees. “It’s about time to get these

people back into their homes,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, during the July 12 council meeting. The province has implemented the Disaster Recovery Assistance Program, but there is a $250,000 limit in compensation for emergency expenses and repairs. Homeowners can only apply for benefits to return the house to a “basic” condition. The amount includes caps on appliances and furniture.

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.

Renfrew County, but not a straw bale home. Several years later there was an opportunity to buy the home and they leaped on it. And now you can leap on the opportunity to tour the beautiful home.

NCC annual meeting BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

National Capital Commission chair Marc Seaman said three months into his new role, he’s learned a lot about the role of the commission in the community. The commission held its annual public meeting on Sept. 11. Seaman said he’s been engaging in stakeholder research and speaking to community partners. The annual meeting shares a roundup of NCC’s work in the last year, and invites public input. Some of the concerns voiced by the audience included lack of public consultation and safety concerns over the pathways. The NCC owns $11.7 billion in assets, with a capital budget of $22.7 million for maintenance. That includes more than 500 kilometres of multi-use pathways with nine conservation officers to patrol them, said CEO Mark Kristmanson. Work includes: • The commission continues its negotiations with the RendezVous Lebreton Group. The commission and the city say the project is essential to realize a “revitalized urban community at Lebreton Flats.” • Public consultations are set to begin on the Gatineau Park master plan renewal. • Work has begun to prepare Rideau Hall for the arrival of Governor General

designate Julie Payette. The NCC is also preparing Stornoway for the arrival of the new leader of the Opposition, Andrew Scheer. • According to the commission’s website, more than 120,000 visitors have been to the Confederation Pavilions. • The commission is also looking to revive Nepean Point. Four design teams submitted their ideas and will showcase their work before a jury selects the one that will be used. David Jeanes, president of Heritage Ottawa, said he’s anxious to see what happens with the iconic spot, located behind the Ottawa Art Gallery. Jeanes said he remembers the “marvellous” view from the area before the Art Gallery was built 50 years ago. Part of the revitalization of the project will include the removal of the Astrolabe Theatre structure, originally built in 1967 as part of Canada’s Centennial celebrations. The NCC says the goal is also to improve accessibility, enhance public space, improve the landscape and add information and interpretation panels. The budget for the project is limited — $6.7 million. That includes design for the entire site and must include demolition, construction and landscaping. - with files from Michelle Nash

Thanks to the Carp Fair Board and the dedicated employees and volunteers who make this event a success every year. Dunrobin Road – paving of the shoulders My office has received a few inquiries from residents regarding work that is currently being done on Dunrobin Road, specifically the paving of the shoulders of the road from Kerwin Road to 800m south of Thomas A. Dolan Parkway. In partnership with the Federal Government, who directed the funds to be used for cycling initiatives, the City’s Infrastructure Services Department is undertaking the implementation of work at a number of sites in the City under the Federal Government’s Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF). The paving of the shoulders on Dunrobin Road is one of the chosen locations across the City.

100 years of toys at the Arnprior Museum SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Arnprior and District Museum will be hosting an exciting travelling exhibit from the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), from Sept. 12 — Nov. 9. Canada at Play: 100 Years of Games, Toys, and Sports is a bilingual exhibit that takes a look at our favourite games and toys over the past 130 years. The new exhibit is made possible by a grant from the Government of Canada’s Museums Assistance Program. This exhibit is tailored to visitors of all ages and truly is a multi-generation event. Children’s program co-ordinator/facilitator, Becky Ranger, hopes to see families coming in together; “Kids, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents will enjoy the displays and activities available. “ We are also hoping the exhibit will attract interest Submitted from local and area schools, as we will have educational programs offered both in the museum and as a travelling Felix Ranger, 3, checks out the new exhibit at the Arnprior and District program.” Museum - Canada at Play: 100 Years of Games, Toys, and Sports, which The exhibit is divided into four sections, covering: Winrecently arrived from the Royal Ontario Museum. ter Sports; At Home; Hand-Made and Factory-Made Toys; and Educational Toys. Artifacts from the museums own collection will accompany those provided by the ROM. The exhibition demonstrates that despite the advances in technology and manufacturing of toys, many things remain constant — board games, dolls, playsets are all still staples in children’s play rooms and schools. Skating, tobogganing and hockey are still integral parts of our Canadian winters. An investment of $100,000 can provide The exhibit is open Tuesday-Sunday 11am-4pm, until Nov. 9, 2017.

The rationale for the work was based on the premise that Ottawa covers 2,770 square kilometres. Many villages in the rural areas lack safe cycling facilities. Ottawa successfully managed to receive 50% funding for the program which is intended to add paved shoulders along rural roads, to improve cycling connectivity as guided by the Ottawa Cycling Plan’s Spine Route network. Ward 5 Thanksgiving Food Drive I would like to ask residents to help make this a special Thanksgiving for those in need in our community. My office will be collecting food 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 at my ward office (5670 Carp Rd.). Collection continues until Friday, October 6. David & Judy Makin Trail I was pleased to co-host with Mayor Watson, the unveil of a new trail in honour of David and Judy Makin on Friday, September 15. The new trail (formerly Trail #2) is located in the Sheila McKee Park off of Sixth Line Road in Dunrobin. Both Judy and David (who passed away in 2011) were committed in preserving natural green space for neighbourhood recreation and ecological benefit. Judy remains a tireless volunteer to this community and is most deserving of this recognition 28 West Carleton Review - Thursday, September 21, 2017

Council approves extended parking hours BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

If you can park for six hours in Old Ottawa South, customers may not pay for spots around Lansdowne, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko during a vote to ratify changes to the city’s parking bylaw. Council approved the slate of changes, which most notably include moving to six hour parking on unsigned streets during the weekend and statutory holidays, on Sept. 13. “The plans for Lansdowne never envisioned streets in Old Ottawa South where you can

park for six hours,” he said. “The parking lots in the area are already underwhelmed.” Chernushenko, who voted in favour of the changes, said he will likely work with residents to institute parking restrictions on some streets. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans also said she’d be working with residents. Deans said between the Sept. 6 transportation meeting and council, she received emails from people concerned about what the looser rules will mean for people who rent out their homes with Airbnb. Deans said in some cases, the

set up is like a small hotel, with lots of cars taking up spots on residential streets. The city consulted with the public in the form of an online survey from July 21 to Aug. 22. Out of the 1,971 that responded to the survey, 72 per cent were in favour of the changes. Aside from moving to six-hour parking, the changes include: • officially allowing street hockey, • a 45-second stopping rule for cabs, • protecting the bike boxes – stopping space allocated for cyclists, • a move from three hours to

six-hour parking on unsigned streets. Kanata North Coun. Allan Hubley questioned how bylaw officers would enforce the new rule, which is set to be in place for June 1, 2018, given their shift limitations. “I never get emails saying we have enough parking enforcement,” he said. Most bylaw officers work seven-and-half hour shifts and the officer that chalks the car must be the one to issue the ticket. On a typical weekend, there can be anywhere from eight to 13 bylaw officers handling parking complaints.

Casino vote What’s going on with the WOCRC controversial BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A technical amendment that would pave the way for Hard Rock International to take over the Rideau Carleton Raceway took a turn during the council vote on Sept. 13. Four councillors spoke out against the social costs of gambling during the vote on what Mayor Jim Watson called a “technical amendment.” Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum kicked off the debate, with concerns about lack of public comments from previous council votes included in the report. Council hashed out the question of a casino in the capital, following a comprehensive review of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s gaming facilities in 2010. The city ultimately decided to support the rural areas by sticking with the raceway as the sole casino location and agreeing to an expansion of the facilities by adding 21 tables. The report on the amendment to name the site a gaming facility — what council voted on most recently — included the comments from six people who wrote in on the issue. The comments were largely favourable. Nussbaum said he wasn’t comfortable voting in favour without access to public comments from the 2012 council vote on the issue. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said present-day comments should hold more weight than those in the past. “It’s a different reality today,” he said, referring to the fact in 2011, the future of horse racing at the site was under threat. Following the council vote, OLG announced a 20-year casino operating and services agreement with Hard Rock. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said councillors should look at the plan as a $350-million investment in the city. “We will have a fulsome debate when the issue comes to ARAC (agriculture and rural affairs committee) and planning,” she said. But Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper wanted to know if this council was bound by the decisions of the last term. “I am not sure council needs to be complicit in the expansion of gambling,” he said. Mayor Jim Watson said councillors were borrowing worry that belongs to an upper level of government. “I would encourage councillors not to take on the problem gaming file,” he said. Watson added that the money flowing into the Trillium Foundation — an agency of the government of Ontario that awards grants to not-for-profit organizations — comes from OLG. “I suspect those councillors that are against this will stop going to those novelty cheque presentations,” he said of those who voted against the amendment to name the RCR a gaming site.

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

Three weeks ago I was at a retail store and tripped over a box on the floor. I fell and broke my ankle. Today an Insurance adjuster called me. He said I was responsible to look where I was walking but he offered me $5000.00 to help me out as I have been off work. I am on sick leave and have not lost any income. Is there any reason not to just take the money? Plenty of Reason. Leaving aside what happened, and what you might be entitled to recover as a result of your injuries, it is always a good idea to consult with a lawyer before taking a settlement proposed by an insurance company. Insurance adjusters work for Insurance companies and they do not approach a settlement based on what you are entitled to. They offer money based on the risk of what you might receive by way of an award. Generally, they will try and settle a claim or potential claim for as little as they reasonable can in order to close off a risk. Consultation. A lawyer will work for you. Many lawyers offer a free consultation. I find I ask a lot of questions and do a lot of listening during a consultation. I try to give my client an understanding of the legal issues arising in their circumstances, and what the options are going forward. Assert your rights. Over the years I have come to understand that people almost always benefit from at least consulting with a lawyer before trying to settle with an insurance company. There is a significant imbalance between a lone individual and a huge insurance company. A lawyer has the knowledge to help level the playing field. In my experience insurers will see a greater risk when dealing with an injured person who is represented by a lawyer. Greater risk to insurers leads to better settlements.

Arnold dedicated his life to serving Canadians for all the right reasons. He was a man of tremendous compassion, intellect and was deeply committed to public service. I hope that we can all follow Arnold’s sage advice to treat each other with respect, and elevate the level of discourse in this country. Truer words have never been spoken: we should all use our heads, but follow our hearts.

Carp Fair

I am really looking forward to attending the “Best Little Fair in Canada” right in our own riding in the beautiful town of Carp this September 21 - 24. As always there will be something for everyone – great live music, delicious food, contests and raffles, and agricultural shows where you can see all kinds of prize-winning farm animals. I hope that you will join me for the 154th annual Carp Fair, and take the time to visit our booth and say hi!

Transport Committee

Along with my Transportation Committee colleagues, I spent the week before Parliament resumed discussing bill C-49, the Transportation Modernization Act. The committee heard from more than 50 witnesses during the 19 various panel discussions, which included discussions on all forms of transportation, including the Air Passenger Bill of Rights. The legislation is long overdue, and is required to modernize Canada’s transportation system – which is a key economic enabler in our country.

Amazon Headquarters

We were all thrilled to learn that Amazon is looking to open another Headquarters in North America, and that Ottawa is submitting a bid. Under the lead of Invest Ottawa, it is important that we showcase all advantages and talent that Kanata has to offer. I intend to work closely with the Ottawa leadership team to ensure we convince Amazon that Ottawa, and Kanata, is where they need to be!

Kanata-Carleton Youth Council

As a part of the Government’s continued commitment to promote meaningful youth engagement in Canada’s government, the Kanata-Carleton Youth Council will be returning for this upcoming school year. Applications can now be submitted on our website! The Youth Council will include youth from different schools, neighbourhoods and local associations in our Riding. I am inviting anyone from the ages of 13-18 to apply. Once selected, the council will meet several times throughout the year to discuss issues that matter to our youth, their community and their country. I hope to hear from all those interested soon!

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 www.facebook.com/ karenmccrimmon.ca/

Audrey’s essay leaves Mary feeling grateful

ou didn’t have to guess what grade Miss Crosby was talking to in our one-room schoolhouse. She had only to look down from her desk and cast her eyes on those she wished to speak to, and the rest of us were expected to keep ourselves busy. That day she told the Senior Fourths, my sister and brothers’ grade, that she had a special lesson for them. They were to write an essay on all the things that made them happy and grateful. It was their homework, and Miss Crosby gave them a week to do it in. As often happened when my sister Audrey was doing her homework at the kitchen table at night, she would take a piece of paper and hand me a pencil, and she would print simple words, and I would have to copy them to improve on my printing. I had yet to learn to write. She would do the same with simple arithmetic sums, and I

was never sure if what Audrey did was because she was anxious that I keep up with those in my grade at school, or if she was practicing to be a teacher, which was what she dreamed of being when she was finished at the Northcote School. And so when she was working at the table that night on her essay, she seemed very deep in thought. She kept looking my way, and once she even patted my hand and smiled. I thought this all very odd, but then, it was pretty hard for me, so much younger than Audrey, to second guess what was on her mind. It was getting close to bedtime, and I asked Audrey if she

would read to me what she had written. She said she had a lot more to write, and besides, she didn’t think Miss Crosby would want anyone else to read it before she handed it in. I certainly wasn’t going to question my sister, but I would sure have loved to hear what made her happy and grateful. And I wondered if she dared to write that when Mother bought her her very first bra at Walker’s Store, she said she was never as happy in her whole life! Gone were the strips of flour bagging that she tied around her chest! Could that be what she was writing about? No, because it wasn’t unusual for Miss Crosby to read what a pupil had written if she thought it deserved it. And that would mortify my shy sister Audrey! Well, every night Audrey got out her scribbler and wrote, erased, wrote and erased some more. My brothers had finished long ago, and had already handed in their essays to Miss Crosby. And then just the day it was due, Audrey gave it one final read, and put it on the corner of the teacher’s desk. I thought I would never know what had taken Audrey so long to write. And then the day came when Miss Crosby had read all the essays, and handed them

back. I saw that my sister had three gold stars on the top sheet. One star was a real honour ... but three stars were right up there with getting top honours in the spelling bee! Audrey quickly tucked the sheets into her book bag. It was many weeks later when my best friend Velma was over to play that I found Audrey’s essay in the back of her washstand drawer, and I asked Velma if she would read it to me. Velma was in one grade higher than I was, smart as a whip, and had long since learned to write instead of print, and could also read. Well! What a revelation! Audrey had written what made her happiest was when she read to me at night before we went to bed. She said just watching me, her little sister, smile, and sometimes laugh, or stay perfectly still as the story unfolded, brought her the utmost happiness, and then she finished her essay by saying she was grateful she had a little sister like Mary! I didn’t let on to Audrey that I knew what her essay was about, but I knew I too had something to be both happy and grateful for a very long time to come.

OPINION

No more traditional library at schools these days

ergus and I attended a very special grand opening this past weekend. The ribbon has been cut on the local off-leash dog park. I wasn’t sure we were going at first. The Ferg has not yet completed basic training (he starts this week) and he doesn’t walk well on a leash. I had no idea what he would do if let off it, around strange dogs. We followed the directional signs through The Ferguson Forest Centre to the new dog park. Fergus didn’t need any signs. He could smell the way. Dozens of dogs were already there, lining up to form a parade behind some bagpipers and municipal officials.

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife He started to whimper and whine in the back seat as I pulled into a spot. So many smells. So many dogs. Let me ouuuuut… As we passed the bagpipers tuning up, Fergus shot one of them a worried look. He wasn’t sure why the man was squeezing and torturing the bag that way but it clearly hurt, as evidenced by the mournful

sound leaking out of it. Then he turned and saw the dogs. This brood of beasts was behind the bouquet of scents and odours that had been assailing him since our arrival. He cheerfully approached a lounging pug and tried to introduce himself by sniffing his tail. The smaller, more mature dog gave Fergus a look of disgust as if to say, calm down,

little punk. Ferg got the message and moved along. Pulling as hard as he could on his leash, he bumped noses with one dog after another until he had met most of the group. A nervous Shepherd-mix shot out from the shade when Fergus got close, and snapped at his nose. Fergus ducked his head and skulked away. Fine, be that way. A woman with an adult Golden Retriever came over to meet Fergus. “Is he a Golden?” she asked. I nodded. She appeared unconvinced. “His legs are a little long, and his hair is kinda short…” I explained that he was at that gangly stage, just six months old. Ferg assessed her tone and gave me a look. What does she mean, mom? What’s wrong with my legs? I scratched his ears and let him away from the woman. I was surprised that the parade actually worked and Fergus was willing to march along with the crowd. I guess he just wanted to follow the other dogs – and the

On the scene

smell of grilled meat might have been leading them in the right direction, as a barbecue was set up at the dog park entrance. Once everyone had assembled, some dignitaries spoke about the idea behind the park, the groundswell of community and corporate support, and the tireless efforts of volunteers to make it happen. The park is about four and a half acres of wide open space leading into a forest on a hill. It’s doggy heaven. They even have bins for your dog waste, buckets for dog water and benches for humans to sit on. Donors have planted trees that will provide shade in the coming years. Each tree bears a plaque in remembrance of that donor’s four-legged friend. While these speeches were happening, the canines were growing restless. The occasional insult and retort rang out. Fergus’ head whipped around as if he understood what they were barking. Come here and say that to my face he replied, as he locked eyes with a grumpy Wolfhound panting in

the shade of a cedar. Some of the smaller dogs started to pick fights with the bigger breeds, as they do. It’s a good thing the park includes a segregated area for those that suffer from small-dog complex. Once inside the gates and off leash, however, I witnessed something I had only read about in books. Having never been to a dog park before, I’ve never seen strange dogs interacting off leash. The quarreling stopped, as dogs big and small bounded across the green grass side by side. Occasionally you would hear one put another in his place, but those conversations were over after one quick bark or growl. I kept Fergus on leash just to be safe, but I let him trot along and introduce himself to everyone. I’m looking forward to the day when I feel he has had sufficient training to come when I call and heed my commands. Then we can return to the dog park for some off-leash fun and he can revel in the joy of his own language.

Signs of fall: northern birds are on the move BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

Special to the Review

The imminent arrival of autumn is heralded by a number of visual signs. Beaver lodges are growing thick with the addition of sticks and mud. The leaves of hardwood trees are transforming into vibrant palettes. The golden touch of Goldenrods is fading to brown. And birds from the north are nightly calling overhead as they reach our region and land for a rest. While many local nesting birds have already left on their annual journey south, northern birds are arriving. They stop and feed and fatten up before continuing their hazardous journey south. Most fly three

to five hundred kilometres each night and have already flown many hundreds of kilometres to get here. When migrating at night, many birds use the constellations as guiding compasses, some, the moon’s location. All use the earth’s magnetic field as a sort of GPS mapping system to get them where they want to go. We have no idea how they do so but it appears that certain sensory cells in their eyes and perhaps even their bills react with that field to create a map for them to follow. Birds that stop in our area on their way south must put on more fat before continuing their journey. That is because fat is the fuel that powers

their great journey south. They gain fat by devouring fat-rich insects or fruit high in carbohydrates. The larger birds such as thrushes tend to devour fruit whenever they find it. Favourite fruit-bearing trees include Mountain-Ash, Highbush Cranberry, and Wild Raisin, and it does not take long for a flock of American Robins or Cedar Waxwings to strip a tree bare of its fruit. This year a number of fruitbearing trees produced huge crops of fruit. In particular,

Chokecherry and Highbush Cranberry were laden. Not only did birds enjoy the rich bounty; Black Bears devoured the fruit to put on fat for their winter dormancy while Eastern Chipmunks stored the fruit for consumption during the cold months to come. Of all fruit-bearing shrubs, Wild Raisin produced one of the largest crops. This shrub, while uncommon in the lower Ottawa Valley, is prevalent where the Canadian Shield prevails. In Algonquin Park it is

particularly common, growing prolifically along the edges of streams, rivers, and lakes. This year it is laden with berries, which turn from green to pink as they mature, and finally to purple when they are fully ripe. Many birds eat Wild Raisin fruit when it is ripe. American Robins and Swainson’s and Hermit thrushes are extremely fond of it and I have also seen Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, White-throated and Lincoln’s sparrows, and warblers including Yellow-rumped Warblers

and Common Yellowthroats enjoying it. Last week I watched a Pileated Woodpecker (which does not migrate) devouring it. While migrating birds benefit by gaining energy from the sugar-rich pulp, the shrub itself benefits by having the birds poop out its seeds, sending them off to new sites in which to germinate. You might say that for Wild Raisin, the popularity of its fruit is its “raisin” d’être! The nature email is mruntz@ start.ca

Ottawa Public Health is seeking approval for an interim supervised injection site at their sexual health clinic on Clarence Street, the city’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Isra Levy, announced Sept. 12. Quick approval could make an unsanctioned pop-up injection site redundant. The city is working with the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre on an application to Health Canada to plug in the gaps before the community centre can begin operating their Nelson Street facility. Levy was asked if the application has anything to do with the unsanctioned, pop-up facility that operates at Raphael Brunet Park. That site – operated by Overdose Prevention Ottawa – has garnered some criticism from local residents.

opioid-related deaths in the capital, Levy said, adding the problem doesn’t seem to be improving. He said the city hasn’t specifically consulted with OPO, but would be open to offering things the volunteer group can’t – such as drug testing equipment and longer service

The application for the interim site would be for 120 days, but Levy said the city is open to operating it longer if need be. Public health staff presented a survey of Ottawa residents as part of an overall harm reduction strategy last fall. Levy said two-thirds of the survey respondents supported the concept of a safe injection site. In Rideau-Vanier Ward – where the sexual health clinic is located – 75 per cent of respondents were in favour of the concept. The board of health voted to support the Sandy Hill in-

jection site proposal last June. At the time, Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’d like to see public health be a partner in setting up supervised drug injection sites, so that more than one location can open at the same time, but he doesn’t want the money to come from the city’s coffers. Board of Health chair Shad Qadri is one of the two councillors on the board who voted against the interim site. Qadri said he recognizes the need for solutions to deal with the overdose crisis, but he wants to see any initiative include funding for treatment. “I know Dave Smith is doing a great job in the west end,” Qadri said of the new drug treatment facility. “But he needs some dollars.” There’s no budget assigned for the proposed interim supervised injection site, but the city may look to recruit staff with specific expertise, Levy said.

FLOOR PLAN

September 2017 The number of new homes being built here in the national capital region continues to grow, according to the latest figures from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The August numbers for Ottawa were particularly encouraging with housing starts totalling close to 620, up an impressive 22 per cent on the same month a year ago. Among that number, singlefamily home starts were at 177, a jump of seven per cent. The improving numbers reflect a trend toward steady growth in the industry. “Demand for new homes remains strong, consistent with consumer confidence which reached its highest level in ten years,” noted Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist in a Sept. 11 release. If you’re one of those confident house hunters, there are many questions to answer as you head out on your search. Do you want to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe the country? Of course there are the financial considerations, how much are you willing and able to spend? What type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace or a townhome that might require a little less maintenance? Or perhaps a condominium? We are fortunate to have so many great builders right here in our back yard. We are pleased to present many of these top builders in this edition of Floor Plan 2017. Presented each month in your Metroland community newspaper, the goal of this supplement is to give you a hand in your search for that perfect new home. Please enjoy this special section and look for even more new-home ideas in our next edition on Thursday, October 19, 2017.

SET UP YOUR OPEN-PLAN LIVING AREA LIKE A PRO Living spaces with minimal partitions have been trending for quite some time. These modern, welcoming spaces that flow freely appeal to individuals in many different situations, from people living alone to couples and families. That being said, it can be hard to achieve a balanced, esthetically pleasing design for an open floor plan. Here are some tips to help you create a cohesive space. • Structure your space. Use furniture and accent pieces to create visual boundaries between different areas. For example, use a low shelf, a rug, a bookcase or some plants to define your living room area. To set your home office apart, use a decorative screen or a chest of drawers as a divider. For additional soundproofing, opt for professionally installed glass partitions. In short, the goal is to design a room within a room using repositionable items instead of fixed walls. • Optimize your storage. Untidiness, even when minimal, can create a highly un pleasant sense of chaos in an open floor plan. To prevent this, camouflage clutter by choosing furniture that doubles as storage (hollow benches and ottomans, for example), or by minimizing your possessions and keeping only what you need. Rest assured: a minimalist decor will have you feeling light as air. • Choose a consistent colour scheme. When it comes time to decorate your space, choose a neutral colour for the main walls. To achieve a cohesive look, keep in mind that all of your windows should be dressed in the same fashion, or at least display coordinating trims. Finally, stick with one type of flooring throughout the space. • Create focal points. An impressive

lighting fixture, an aquarium, a work of art, a plant wall or a fireplace will automatically draw the eye and create rhythm in a wide open space. Be careful not to overdo it, though, as too many statement pieces can cause quite the opposite effect. In short, for

GET YOUR YARD READY FOR THE COLD Almost all of the trees have lost their leaves, mornings are getting colder and you’ve swapped out sandals for boots. There’s no denying it: summer is over and fall is in full swing. That being said, you have some yard work left to do before the first frost hits. Here’s a quick checklist. • Close your pool (thoroughly clean it — use a shock treatment if necessary — and re duce the water level to around halfway) • Prepare your garden (remove any dead plants, aerate the soil, lay down straw, etc.) • Bring furniture and cushions inside • Trim your hedges and protect them with mulch, tarps or mesh • Collect dead leaves and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way, such as mulching or composting Your local landscaping companies offer ser vices that can make your life easier this fall. Don’t hesitate to let them take care of your yard work.

Pinterestworthy results, less is more! Need advice on how to artfully organize your open-plan space? Call an interior designer or decorator in your area: he or she will be able to help you create a balanced, functional, beautiful home.

GET ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD Five ways to get acquainted with a new neighborhood Across the country, people are packing boxes, hiring trucks and moving short and long distances. According to a survey by DuProprio, a Quebec-based real estate advice site, 28 percent of Canadians feel the need to move every five years. Surprisingly, DuProprio also found that 14 per cent of owners wish they could move every year. The main reasons people move are expansion of the family, a career change, retirement, empty nest situations, or when moving is more practical than large-scale home renovations. Whether a move is across county lines or overseas, it can take some time to acclimate to a new neighborhood. These tips can

help anyone get acquainted with their new surroundings and make friends in the process. 1. Host a housewarming party. Get to know immediate neighbors by hosting a party. After some unpacking is done, host a simple gettogether for people who live nearby. Ask if neighbors can help out by bringing chairs. Offer light refreshments and some type of activities for children. The event doesn’t have to be extensive, just long enough to engage in some conversation and introduce yourself. 2. Walk and drive around. Scout out the area by driving around and making note of shopping centers, parks and places of interest. Schedule times when you will get out of the car and walk around on foot, which makes it easier to take everything in. Use a website like Walkscore. com to find places within walking distance of your new home. Bring the dog along. Dogs can be great ice breakers with new neighbors. 3. Check out community blotters.

Community events may be posted in print and distributed through a local newspaper and also on municipal websites. Find out where the locals go on weekends or during the week. Communities may take pride in certain activities. It’s easier to get a feel for the neighborhood by spending time with the locals. 4. Become active in the community. Find a volunteer organization or join a local house of worship. Check with the local chamber of commerce for ways to get involved or clubs to join. Like-minded people can make living in a new locale more enjoyable. 5. Dine out once a week. If budget allows, try a new neighborhood eating establishment each week to get a lay of the land. You’ll identify hot spots and hidden gems and will also be able to mingle with the community. An app such as Open Table can help you find places to eat nearby.

WHITE AND WOOD: A PERFECT COMBINATION Few homes don’t have at least one room painted white. That’s because whether it’s pure or lightly tinted, white brings loads of brightness and visually enlarges small rooms. However, overdoing this colour can also give an impression of coldness or even monotony. The solution? Combine white with wooden elements. A veneer hardwood floor, for example, is a great setting for an off-white love seat. And what could be more inviting than a soft cream duvet on a cherry-wood bed? And just imagine how elegant an ivory window dressing would look floating gracefully next to an antique pine dresser. The final touch for a white-and-wood decor? Add an accent colour to give some punch to the overall look. 6 Floor Plan - Thursday, September 21, 2017

YOUR NEW START CAN BE SOMEONE ELSE’S TOO Moving to a new home is an exciting and stressful time. Think: a new space, a different layout, a blank canvas! But before you move-in to your new residence, you’ve got to move-out of the old. Lots of stuff means many boxes, which means lots of work. As they say about new beginnings: to make room for more, sometimes you’ve got to let things go. In anticipation of the move, purge your belongings. There is value in de-cluttering your home before you move. The process itself forces you to itemize and organize your belongings, which is always helpful before tackling moving day. Take note of what are your must haves, what will work in your new space, and what you want to leave behind. Know that when you hire a mover, you pay for space and time. Items for which you have no use or don’t need, if packed, take up valuable space in the truck that could be used to carry something else. Also, the labour and effort of properly packing and carrying those items costs you time. Don’t pay to transport something you don’t need. Moving needn’t be expensive if you plan properly. Consumers can help subsidize the cost of hiring a professional mover by selling unwanted items like couches or furniture sets. Luckily for savvy savers, all it takes is a few keyboard clicks. In these tech-driven times, there are plenty of digital destinations that allow for easy and free advertisements. Use online classified websites or social media platforms to help spread the word and watch how quickly your goods get sold. Prefer the old fashioned way? Spread the message that you’re selling some items by word-of-mouth or posting posters in your neighbourhood or condominium bulletins. A rewarding alternative to selling your items is to donate them. Find a home for those belongings by gifting them to people in need. Donate your comforters and couches to your local women’s shelter. That old office desk you were going to leave behind could be someone else’s place of inspiration. That old jacket you haven’t worn in years, could keep someone else warm today! Across the country there are shelters in need of donations. Other alternatives could be donating to the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity and local furniture banks, as examples. Give someone else a fresh start from belongings that don’t make the cut for your new space. For most, moving is an emotional time, in part because of the stress of packing but also because of the sentimentality of saying goodbye to a place they lived. De-cluttering your home before a big move is valuable. Not only does it help with packing efficiency, which lends to it being financially helpful, but it also helps with the emotional stress of moving-out and moving on. Decluttering helps start the process of “goodbye” to get you ready for all those “hellos” in your new neighbourhood. – Chuck Resnick

horoscopes

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when an opportunity comes your way, resist the temptation to pass it up thinking something better is on the horizon. There are no guarantees, so make the most of this chance. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Many things around the home need your attention, Taurus. But you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them right now. Get a partner to lend a helping hand.

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 It can be challenging to find initial support for your ideas, Leo. However, once you explain all of the specifics, there’s a good chance others will climb on board.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, focus on something new for a while rather than a problem that has been bouncing around in your brain. Frustration will get you nowhere, so let it go for now.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.
