Half Moon Bay school decision gives parents a choice daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Parents in Half Moon Bay will be now able to send their children to whatever public high school they so chose.

In a decision on March 8, the school board officially passed an earlier motion by Barrhaven/ Knoxdale-Merivale trustee Donna Blackburn that would allow those living in the Barrhaven subdivision, currently attending Cedarview Middle School, to send their children to either John McCrae Secondary School or South Carleton High School in Richmond.

The motion was passed by a 7-5 vote at the school board’s office on Greenbank Road.

Traditionally, students in Half Moon Bay – a sister community of Stonebridge – who learn at Cedarview had to go to South Carleton for boundary reasons.

So Blackburn presented a motion on Feb. 22 to allow parents to send their children to John McCrae instead of South Car-

leton starting in September. The move would eliminate a onehour commute for students on public transit and stop parents from switching their children to the Catholic board – St. Joseph Catholic High Catholic – to remain in Barrhaven.

“One of the key concerns I have is that we’re basically losing members of our family to St. Joe’s,” Blackburn said. “It pains me that people would be asked to decide between going to school in their community and leaving their friends. To me, it’s not a fair choice. This is just an option.”

The decision is welcome news to Half Moon Bay resident Wendy O’Connell-Smith.

O’Connell-Smith has two children at Barrhaven Public School and a son at Cedarview Middle School – who would have had to attend South Carleton next year.

She said her family was prepared to move just to allow him to go to John McCrae.

“Needless to say, this boundary issue has placed a strain on our family,” she said.

The initial motion was passed at the Feb. 22 meeting. One student who had gone to school at South Carleton for Grades 9 and 10 transferred to John McCrae immediately after the original decision was made. The board estimates there will be up to 94 transfers from South Carleton next year.

The decision had area some residents up in arms because it was not only passed without public consultation, but a twoyear time limit for the motion was revoked.

As a result, South Carleton’s trustee Lynn Scott – who covers West Carleton, March, Stittsville, Kanata West/RideauGoulbourn – asked the board to reconsider the motion as she felt it was made in haste and without proper deliberation.

She was disappointed with the outcome of the vote.

“I think in the longer term, there are going to be changes needed to this area,” Scott said.

“I am especially concerned about our unwillingness to consult.

Have one of our designers help create the home of your dreams – with experienced, professional service. ~ Catherine Pulcine

a regular basis. The notion that I would be against public consultation is simply not true.”

South Carleton parent Kimberly Wilson said she’s now worried about the quality of programming that will be offered at the Richmond school.

“Many of the parents in the rural areas would love to have options for schools and do not have a choice,” she said. “Why do new parents to new neighborhood have more rights to change things than long standing residents?”

Blackburn said John McCrae’s enrolment is “on paper, at capacity.” But because Cedarview is its only feeder school, Blackburn said its numbers are declining and programs could be lost there if a change to increase registration wasn’t made. Blackburn added that Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, which principal Patsy Agard said will be at capacity in September even before the Grade 12 students are added in September 2012, is more of a priority in her zone.

“We consult like crazy. We consult even on consultation plans. Why would we not consult with South Carleton?”

Jim Leask, member of the South Carleton High School council agreed.

With a new high school in Stittsville in the works and South Carleton likely losing out on children from a community that will soon offer an additional 6,000 homes, Leask felt the decision was too important to passed so quickly.

“This is in direct violation of the board’s policy,” he said.

“Even more importantly, appropriate planning has not been done, and we foresee significant problems as a result of this decision.”

But Blackburn said she is a supporter of open discussion and has been since her days as a parent representative for the Ottawa Carleton Assembly for School Councils.

Should the city allow rooftop signs?

Weigh in during public consultation LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Students help build wells DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Students at Jockvale Elementary School are flowing in donations in the hopes that more water in Africa will do the same.

Penny Giaccone’s Grade 2 and 3 English classes have been raising money for Ryan’s Well – a non-profit organization committed to bringing clean and safe water to developing countries – since February by bring in books, toys, and other goods for their peers to buy for 50 cents.

So far they’ve raised over $1,000 after their latest drive on March 11.

Their goal is to raise $2,000 – the cost of one well – by the end of the school year so another well can be built in Africa.

“I like that we’re raising money for Ryan’s Well,” Grade 2 student Liam Daigler said. “I’m also buying lots of books for my family and friends and not for me.

“It’s nice that we don’t get paid because then we get to sell more and donate more to Ryan’s Well.”

The initiative was started when Giaccone showed her students a video on Valentine’s Day of Ryan Hreljac, a Kemptville native, who started Ryan’s Well in 1998 when he was six years old.

Giaccone said she did so because she figured the idea would work nicely in conjuncture with the school’s Jockvale Cares

program.

“I wanted them to become a little bit aware of the world,” she said, adding that she’s been able to work the fundraiser into the curriculum very easily.

The children got on board right away too.

Students made posters and wrote notices for the bulletin board beside the school’s main office and even gave daily announcements over the public address system.

“When I saw that he was six when he did it, than I could it to,” Grade 3 student Katie Grimes said.

Katie and her friend, Jared Berry, both 8, have contributed about $500.

Katie has canvassed the neighbourhood with her parents and brother, while Jared has helped organized some of the draws.

“I wouldn’t want to be like those people in Africa that have bad water,” Jared said.

The results have been impressive to Giaccone. In her 25 years of teaching, no bake sale or raffle has come close to the efforts of this year’s students so far.

“I’ve never seen a reaction like that,” she said.

Giaccone said they will continue to have drives in the future and that the Grade 5s would get involved by selling soup. She said to call the school for information.

Liam Daigler, Jack Lau, Owen Boucher and Ella Freeburn are just a few students from Jockvale Elementary School collecting donations for Ryan’s Well.

Drive around Ottawa, and you’ll see things such as a cow or an ATV on business roofs.

They weren’t deposited there by a tornado – but some people are still wondering how they got there because they are not allowed.

But that bylaw might be changing.

The city is asking for residents’ input on whether or not it should allow signs on Ottawa rooftops – something that has long been requested by local businesses.

That’s because they are visible from all angles and grab more attention. But according to a city report, it could also help beautify the city by adding colour to drab buildings.

On the other hand, the report says rooftop signs could clutter the city’s skyline, particularly the “gateways” into the city along major highways. That would provide more ammunition for those who say the city doesn’t support its own design guidelines.

If illuminated signs were allowed, they could spill light into neighbouring residential communities.

The options being considered are:

• Continuing to prohibit rooftop signs; • Temporarily permit rooftop signs for new businesses only; • Allow rooftop signs in commercial areas with restrictions on the size, location, illumination and setbacks; or • Other options as they are suggested.

Rooftop signs were prohibited in the former City of Ottawa and the other amalgamated municipalities.

Vanier is the only former municipality that did allow rooftop signs, but they were banned just before amalgamation in 2001.

The consultation stemmed from city council’s direction last March to have staff investigate options.

After the consultation period, the city’s planning committee will receive a report on the recommendations in late May or June.

Information and a questionnaire are available online at: ottawa.ca/rooftopsigns or call 311 to request an information package in the mail.

Twenty-one gaming tables are one step closer to coming to Rideau-Carleton Raceway as part of a two-year pilot project, after city council endorsed the plan which now heads to the provincial regulator for final approval.

But the decision wasn’t without controversy, as some city councillors said the proposal was being pushed through without a full understanding of the impacts.

During a council meeting on March 10, Knoxdale-Mervivale Coun. Keith Egli wanted to delay a vote on the matter until the city’s medial officer of health, Dr. Esra Levy, could give council a report on the potential health impact of the move.

He received support from David Chernushenko, Diane Deans and Diane Holmes, but the majority of councillors wanted to get on with the vote.

Chernushenko, councillor for Capital Ward, said there are both financial and human costs to gambling.

“I would like to have more facts not just about the revenues, but what would be the cost to the city in terms of health, addiction.”

Levy agreed that it might be useful for councillors to have some more information about the health, but Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said Levy had enough time to bring a report to council on the issue if he thought it was necessary, and he did not.

Other councillors said the province already funds resources to help people with gambling addiction.

Blais even said it would be better for people to gamble in Ontario than in Quebec, because that way the money they are spending will contribute to money the province uses to fund gambling addictions programs.

The City of Ottawa will get about $2 million per year if the gaming tables are approved by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and a rezoning application at the raceway is successful, according to a city report.

The move is also expected to create new jobs.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said you can’t dismiss the impact that gambling has on people, but he said the resources provided by the province are adequate.

“It’s not like we’re opening a brand

new facility there. It has been in existence there for about 10 years,” he said of the slots at the track, which is located in his ward.

Gambling is ubiquitous, Thompson said – lottery tickets can be purchased at any corner store and most racetracks offer slots and/or gaming tables.

“I don’t think that’s an issue,” Thompson said.

Councillors like Deans and Holmes worried that the gaming tables were being pushed through too quickly, with little public consultation on their impact.

“What is the amazing hurry here?” said Holmes, councillor for Somerset Ward.

Deans, councillor for Gloucester-Southgate, agreed, saying council was deviating from its normal process by voting on it without holding public consultation sessions.

For instance, she said people in her ward would likely have wanted to weigh in because the gaming tables could create traffic concerns through their neighbourhoods. Deans tabled a motion that asked for a traffic impact study if and when a rezoning application is submitted to allow for the gaming tables. The motion also asked that revenue from the gaming tables be placed in a reserve fund to directly address any issues highlighted in the traffic study.

Members of the Findlay Creek Community Association generally support the gaming tables, but agree with Deans on the traffic issue.

In a March 9 email to Gloucester SouthNepean Coun. Steve Desroches, co-president Eva Pigeon-Seguin wrote: “We have concerns about how the traffic on Albion will affect the community because this road is already heavily used. With the unpaved shoulders, deep ditches, active Ottawa weather and the roadway that will soon open up to Albion – we are wary of issues down the line if this goes through.”

Thompson said he doesn’t think there needed to be more public consultation before council approved the pilot project.

“I think I represent the views of our residents quite well,” he said.

There will be more of a chance for public input in two years if the racetrack would like to continue to have gaming tables, because that would require a zoning change, Mayor Jim Watson said at the March 10 meeting. Councillors also voted to update the city’s transportation master plan to include an assessment of the road infrastructure in the racetrack area, which is very close to the site of the new Ottawa Trade Show Centre. That update will happen in 2013.

There are also 75 kilometres of new roads for the city to maintain, not to mention new parks, and that is not possible without adding more staff, Watson said.

This year, the city will add a net amount of 295 new positions, including 45 firefighters, 24 paramedics and 75 bus drivers who will help the city save money be reducing the amount of overtime drivers work. “It’s mostly people on the front line providing services because our city is growing,� Watson said.

Contract talks with the city’s bus-driver union are set to begin soon.

On top of that, the city’s transit commission will hear ideas to make the bus system more efficient, including route cutbacks, as well as a new business plan for OC Transpo. “For far too many years, the system has been micromanaged and cobbled together to the point where it is no longer financially sustainable,� Watson said.

The debate could prove to be the most divisive yet for this congenial council. “It’s going to be a challenging debate because it becomes very personal,� Watson said, with councillors defending individual routes in their wards that will affect their residents.

Transit is also on the mayor’s mind when it comes to the city’s planned $2.1-billion light rail system.

Keeping the costs within the budget, which is estimated in 2009 dollars, won’t be easy. “I’ll be fully at ease when the tenders come in,� Watson said.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson marked 100 days in office on March 9. “Until those figures come in, we can estimate as best we can, but the reality is it will be up to bidders to come up with a price.�

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is keeping a tally.

As he ticked off the days remaining until his 100th day in office, Watson also had his pen ready to check off a few election promises he kept in this year’s budget.

The mayor says he keeps a binder of his 65-or-so election promises at his desk, he opens it once a week to check the progress he has made on those promises. “I see those campaign commitments I made as my contract with the public,� Watson said. “They gave me my marching orders on Oct. 25 (election day) and they expect me to follow through on those promises.�

So far, he has knocked off about 15 of those promises in his first budget.

The biggest one was keeping this year’s tax increase to 2.5 per cent. It’s a commitment he made for each of the four years of his term. The first year, Watson’s TRANSIT ISSUES LOOM “honeymoon� budget, will stick out as the easiest, particularly Watson checked the budget because the province took on the cost of some social programs, off his list of accomplishments freeing up about $25 million for the city this year.

Under former mayor Larry O’Brien’s tenure, the tax hike was small in the first year of the term, was double the rate of inflation in the last three years of the term, owing to the fact past councils raided the city’s reserve funds to head off tax increases. “The city went through a number of years of tax freezes, and guess what happens the following year? The taxes go up above the rate of inflation,� Watson said. “We saw that in the last council.�

Both councillors and citizens expressed their support for a 2.5 per cent increase, Watson said. “They see that as a figure that allows us to grow as a city, and also that it’s in the rate of inflaLET’S MAKE CANCER HISTORY tion,� Watson said.

OPINION

A test of endurance

T

he old adage “slow and steady wins the race” doesn’t seem to be something Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson buys into.

Ottawa’s mayor has blown through his first 100 days in office with nary a flinch, and blew even faster through the city’s 2011 budget – in a mere four hours, with little protest from his fellow councillors applauding him from around the table.

He’s been spotted at what seems like every single community event in the city since inauguration, popping into a Kanata school concert at 9 a.m. and showing up at an Orleans art show half an hour later, keeping a running commentary on Twitter all the while.

The question is, can he keep it up?

Watson may not be a long distance runner, but he could learn a lesson from one if he expects to keep up the pace heading out of his honeymoon stage and into the real work of mayoral marriage.

He’ll especially need a strong endurance strategy if he hopes to fast-forward the city’s light rail plans, getting the controversial project tendered and under way this year, as he told Ottawa This Week he plans to do.

In a noble effort to save the city some embarrassment, Watson has supported several councillors’ requests that city staff push the whole, painfully slow project ahead two years in order to avoid any clash with the 150-year anniversary of Confederation in 2017, instead of drawing out construction to 2019.

But skepticism for the light rail project runs as deep as the proposed tunnel under downtown and later this month Watson will likely face his toughest and longest battle yet to nail down the details of his transit plans for light rail and OCTranspo route cuts and amendments. He’ll also need some energy for OCTranspo contract talks beginning around the same time, which promise to add some colour to his otherwise monochrome mayoral record so far.

And on top of all that, he still plans to run from one end of the city to the other attending the many community events he could be sending his deputies to. With a schedule like that, Watson risks burn-out or at least a damaging slip-up or two.

The moral, then, is a preventative one: slow down and take a breather, or risk losing the race entirely.

Yes, it’s the 21st century – so what?

CHARLES GORDON

T

he weakest of all arguments is that we’re in the 21st century.

You hear it all the time. Somebody makes a proposal. Somebody else opposes. Then the supporters say to the opponents: “Don’t you know it’s the 21st century?”

Those of us who grew up in the 20th century remember the argument. It’s just been updated a bit.

There are provincial government proposals to loosen liquor laws at outdoor events. The police say they’re worried.

The police are accused of not knowing it’s the 21st century. The police have a feeling that drunken louts in the new century will closely resemble drunken louts in the previous one.

There is a proposal to put up some giant flashing billboard by the new convention centre, shining video and maybe, just maybe, advertising down on Rideau Canal skaters, tourists and distracted motorists. “It’s the 21st century,” the proponents say, when others ask why we need to complicate the natural beauty of that part of the city with humongous flashing pixels.

The canal, of course, was built in the 19th century, before such electronic miracles were possible. Skating on the canal was brought to us in the 20th cen-

Barrhaven•Ottawa South

THIS WEEK

Funny Town tury by a man, NCC chairman Douglas Fullerton, who thought that the skating alone provided all the entertainment people would need. He was even critical of the early, non-electronic version of Winterlude, for putting entertainment on the ice to interfere with the skaters.

He would not want to be skating in the 21st century with that thing beaming pictures down on his head.

In the 21st century that we all recognize it is possible to do all sorts of things that were not possible in the 20th. This does not, however, mean that we have to do them.

Take Twitter, for example. With Twitter, you can tell the entire world, more or less, what you think in 140 characters or less. On the day the great editor and writer Jim Travers died, tributes began appearing on Twitter, little notes saying how much Travers was appreciated, how

much he would be missed. It was kind of a tribal ritual, with virtually everyone on Parliament Hill and many people beyond it, adding their abbreviated voices.

Travers, who loved to laugh, would have laughed. Here was this technological miracle and people, one after the other, were using it to write five or 10 words saying, in effect, “I’m sad too.” It’s not that they weren’t sincere, it’s that this piece of 21st century technology trivialized their sincerity.

A few days later, a memorial gathering was held at the Ottawa Conference Centre – a railway station for much of the 20th century. Many of the same people came and many others, 500 in all, and they behaved in an old-technology way.

They talked and they listened and they laughed and they cried and they hugged each other. There was more power and emotion in that gathering than in a billion tweets.

The 21st century gives us the choice.

We can tweet or we can show up. Showing up still works best.

In Ottawa, the second-weakest of reasons for doing something is that the city’s image needs changing. People think Ottawa is dowdy, we are told by proponents of giant electronic billboards. We need to show some more

flash.

Well, do we really? What’s dowdy about Ottawa? We have, thanks to the NCC, no billboards along the Canal and the parkways. Most people don’t complain about that. Some rather like it.

What else don’t we have that other cities do? We have restaurants and nightclubs and festivals and theatres and galleries and shopping centres. We can even put together a bit of a traffic jam. We also have a few things that other cities don’t have, such as a relatively peaceful life and an ease of access to the countryside.

Even in the 21st century, why should we be apologizing for that?

Commuters feeling gas pains COURTNEY SYMONS

Rural Support Agencies Unite for common cause Two well-known organizations in rural Ottawa south, who provide services and programs to seniors and adults with physical disabilities, are joining forces this spring.

Effective April 1, Rideau Community Support Services and the Osgoode Home Support Program will merge into one agency to be called Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS).

By combining their many years of experience in serving rural clients the two agencies plan to build ROSSS into a rural centre of excellence.

There will be no change in service delivery for clients and over time it is anticipated that ROSSS will make it easier for rural clients to access the many services they need.

A newly formed board of directors will oversee the merger

HYPNOSIS WORKS!

and the creation of ROSSS. Nancy Wilson, the executive director of Rideau Community Support Services, has been appointed as the new executive director of ROSSS effective April 1.

The new organization will have a combined total of approximately 1,350 clients and 340 volunteers.

There will be three community sites located in Metcalfe, Manotick and North Gower.

“By coming together, we’re really trying to put a focus on the rural client,” Wilson said.

“The hope is to ease that barrier in those local communities.”

For more information on ROSSS, its programs and services in rural Ottawa south, call 613-692-4697 or 613-821-1101.

Program information is always available during the week by calling.

fuel efficiency is to use cruise control whenever possible.

Additionally, the faster a vehicle goes, the more the drag increases. Driving 100 kilometres per hour instead of 120 reduces fuel consumption by about 15 per cent, said Toews. Most cars achieve optimal fuel efficiency at about 90 kilometres per hour.

Checking your tire pressure regularly is another way to get the most out of your gas. One tire that is under-inflated by two pounds of air per square inch (PSI) increases fuel consumption by one per cent.

Kennedy suggested checking the tires once a month to ensure proper inflation.

Gas prices will continue to fluctuate and potentially keep increasing. This variance happens for a number of reasons, Toews said. Recent revolts in Libya, the supplier of two per cent of the world’s crude oil, have certainly contributed to the rising costs, but are not the only reason for increased prices.

“We’ve been cooped up inside all winter long,” Toews said.

“We’re tired of it. We want to get outside and go places.” As the weather gets nicer, people drive more, and with this increased demand comes increased domestic gas prices.

Trips to the pump are really packing a punch these days, as gas prices continue to rise in Ottawa, across Canada, and around the world.

Although filling the tank is hard to avoid, there are ways to save money and maximize fuel efficiency.

GasBuddy, a website based out of Regina, offers a list of the cheapest gas prices in your area.

“Most of the time, you won’t even have to go that far out of your way,” said Jason Toews, co-founder of the GasBuddy website. “You can save money just by knowing where to go.”

Prices are constantly updated, allowing users to compare gas stations in their vicinity and choose accordingly.

GasBuddy even has a downloadable application for the iPhone.

In addition to gas prices, GasBuddy offers tips for drivers to maximize their mileage.

With spring around the corner and the days getting warmer, Toews said that drivers should limit their use of air conditioning to save on gas.

Opening the windows instead, however, isn’t always best.

“It’s actually better to use the AC on the highway than it is to open the windows,” Toews said. The air flowing through

the vehicle increases aerodynamic drag, causing the engine to burn up to 10 per cent more fuel with the effort.

With snow still on the ground, however, air conditioning isn’t yet a concern. Many Canadians begin their days by warming up the engine as they slough off snow and ice from their vehicle.

“There is a misconception about how long is needed to warm up your car before driving,” said Korey Kennedy, manager of public and government affairs for the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) of North & East Ontario.

“Many people think that five minutes are needed to fully warm up the engine, but thirty to forty-five seconds will do the trick,” he said.

Idling a vehicle for more than a minute is a waste of fuel, he added. Turning off the car and restarting it requires less gas than to keep it running.

Kennedy also suggested taking anything unnecessary out of the trunk or back seat.

More weight within the vehicle requires more fuel to move it.

The “jack rabbit start,” as Kennedy called it, should be avoided at all costs. That means taking your time to stop or start, and attempting to maintain a constant speed.

A good way to maximize your

Easter Seals twins chosen as ambassadors Maynard brothers help spread the word LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com

Andrew and Matthew Maynard are identical twin boys who celebrate their 12th birthday on March 18. They are big brothers to Charlie, 8, and Maggie, 5. They enjoy school (for the most part), video games, movies, summer camp and have a healthy dose of sibling rivalry.

The twins also have something else in common: cerebral palsy. Andrew’s is more pronounced as he needs the aid of a wheelchair. He was diagnosed at about four weeks of age. Matthew, never far from his brother’s side, has less mobility issues, but his fine-motor skills are not like that of his younger siblings.

“I am able to run, but when others are at the finish line, I’m not quite there yet,” Matthew explained. “I just want people to know that we are like everyone else.

Andrew may be a bit more like his mother, Jennie, as he moved to the computer and asked her to turn up the Abba music.

“He’s a big fan,” Jennie said, confessing he must have gotten a love for the ’70s group from her.

As Easter Seals Ontario ambassadors, the boys have speaking engagements at local schools: Andrew attends Centennial Public School downtown as it’s equipped for children with special needs, many of whom are in wheelchairs, and the rest of his siblings attend Berrigan Elementary School in their Barrhaven neighbourhood.

They also helped kick off last year’s Easter egg campaign – this year it is slated for March 28 to April 24.

The twins say they enjoy their summer adventures at Camp Merrywood between Perth and Smiths Falls. Jennie says the boys love the camp and look forward to it each year. It’s also a chance for her, husband Bill and the two younger siblings, to do things together as well.

“It’s a bit of a respite for us,” Jennie said. “When they return after their 10 days, we usually take a week in August and we all go camping.”

Andrew and Matthew Maynard are the ambassadors for Easter Seals. The twin brothers, their two younger siblings and parents live in Barrhaven.

Swimming is one activity the twins enjoy. “In the water, Andrew doesn’t have a disability. Both he and Matthew enjoy swimming at the Nepean Sportsplex as often as we can afford

it… but not nearly as often as they’d like.”

Andrew also enjoys some time at the Ottawa Rotary Home on Bank Street in Ottawa South.

Rotary Home has been providing respite care for more than 25 years. Their mission is to improve the quality of life of caregivers and individuals with disabilities through a family centered approach that is responsive to individual needs and offered in a dynamic and flexible way.

“It’s like a sleepover for Andrew,” said Jennie. “He has a social life there. He loves it.” For a nominal fee, the Maynards can be assured that Andrew is in a safe and caring environment about once a month.

The financial hardship of having two boys with special needs is stressful for this family of six. Jennie is a stay-at-home mother and Bill is an aviation meteorologist with Transport Canada.

“We are looking at putting in a chair lift so we can get Andrew up to his room. Right now, he crawls up the stairs, and it’s not

pretty. I can hardly lift him…

Bill does that, but he’s not home this week, so Andrew’s pretty much grounded on the main level.”

The chairlift is a hefty $20,000 investment – they qualify for approximately $3,000 in funding through Easter Seals Ontario.

“Easter Seals has helped us purchase special computers and software for the boys and for other ability devises that we have equipped the house with for easier accessibility,” said Jennie.

But putting in a chairlift will be a struggle for this family.

While their friends whisk their families away on $5,000 tropical vacations, Jennie says she a bit envious. “While they go away, we are struggling so our sons will be more comfortable,” she says. “It’s a challenge.”

Investing in the needs of children and youth with physical disabilities and all children with extraordinary needs is the message from Easter Seals Ontario during the month of March.

Searching for a kidney Manotick man lives on dialysis one day at a time LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com

David Presley of Manotick has been on peritoneal kidney dialysis for more than six years and is in need of a kidney transplant. He and his wife Lyn are advocates for the Kidney Foundation as they help spread the news about the disease.

455294

David and Lyn Presley are on a campaign for a kidney.

David was diagnosed in the fall of 2007 with chronic renal failure and has been on dialysis ever since. His wife of 40 years says she knew something wasn’t quite right with her husband and insisted on blood work.

“He was off… I knew something wasn’t right. You know if you spend that much time with someone when they are not feeling right,” she said.

That’s when his doctor discovered he was in complete renal failure – an emergency situation. He was admitted to the Ottawa Civic Hospital where he stayed five days and started hemodialysis. It was the most direct route to his bloodstream. After four months of three-times weekly, four-hour long treatments, he was switched to peritoneal dialysis and is now able to give himself treatments.

In hemodialysis, your blood is allowed to flow, a few ounces at a time, through a special filter that removes wastes and extra fluids. The clean blood is then returned to your body. Removing the harmful wastes and extra salt and fluids helps control your blood pressure and keep the proper balance of chemicals like potassium and sodium in your body.

“I took the shifts that no one else wanted,” David said. “I was on the night shift – the one nobody wanted: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. I didn’t care. Most people like the day shifts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.”

David – who is a food concession specialist at numerous festivals, fairs and special events, and is a past president of the Ottawa Exhibition along with his wife – says it wasn’t a big deal to watch what he ate.

By the spring of 2008, he switched over the peritoneal dialysis. This is a technique that uses the patient’s own body tissues inside of the belly (abdominal cavity) to act as a filter. The intestines lie in the abdominal cavity, the space between the abdominal wall and the spine. A plastic tube called a dialysis catheter is placed through the abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity. A special fluid is then flushed into the abdominal cavity and washes around the intestines. The intestinal walls act as a filter between this fluid and the blood stream. By using different types of solutions, waste products and excess water can be removed from the body through this process.

“I do this anywhere,” David says of his current method of dialysis. “At home, in the car… wherever I need to. I just hook it up and it takes about 25 minutes.”

But this type of dialysis is needed to be performed four times a day.

Lyn and David are advocates for the green-ribbon campaign: the campaign for organ donation.

“I won’t lie. I’m on a campaign to find David a kidney. It’s a way of life,” she says.

As part of Kidney Health Month, the Presleys will be participating in the Ottawa Valley Farm Show at Lansdowne Park March 15 to 17 where they will have an information booth and distribute information about kidney disease and organ donation. They also network through the fairs, events and festivals they attend. Just last week, they attended National Kidney Day at the hospital.

David does a lot of speaking engagements and helps people learn about kidney disease. He has even assisted his friend to overcome issues of fear when it comes to dialysis. His friend just recently became a dialysis patient.

Kidney disease is a major risk factor for heart disease, both of which are among the top 10 causes of death for Canadians. During Kidney Health Month,

March in Canada, The Kidney Foundation of Canada is reminding the public that addressing kidney disease early is one way of having a positive impact on helping to reduce cardiovascular disease.

“If your kidneys are not working properly, you are at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases,” says clinician-scientist and nephrologist, JeanFrancois Cailhier.

“When the kidneys don’t work properly, the level of waste in the body increases and this can increase inflammation leading to cardiovascular diseases.

Barrhaven woman thankful for medical treatment JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Sharon Taylor feels like she got her life back.

The Barrhaven mother and professional caregiver was diagnosed with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis in April of 2001, but a trip to Tampa Bay, Fla. did her a world of good.

Before the trip, Taylor suffered from cognitive problems associated with MS and said it sometimes felt like her head was stuffed with cotton batting.

She couldn’t talk on the phone for longer than five minutes because she couldn’t recall the start of the conversation.

She suffered from swallowing issues and could sometimes choke on water. She had problems with balance and walking. She was sometimes in so much pain her clothing would sting her and a light breeze would burn.

But she found hope in September.

She went to Toronto for an ultra sound Doppler scan and was diagnosed with Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency (CCVSI). This is a compromised flow of blood in the veins, draining the central nervous system.

Unfortunately, the treatment isn’t covered under Canada’s health care system.

Taylor got herself booked for the ‘liberation’ treatment — which consists of an angioplasty of the veins and in some cases the insertion of a stent.

The findings are amazing, according to Taylor, but the treatment and travel was a hefty price to pay: $14,000.

Enter the community.

A long-time Barrhaven resident, Taylor’s husband Jim is self-employed and she is on CPP and working a part-time job to make ends meet.

So they held a “Send Share to Tampa” fundraiser at the Barrhaven Legion in November and opened a trust. Luckily she was able to get the treatment.

And how is she now?

“Thank you,” Taylor wrote in a letter to her supporters. “Because of your generous donation I have my life back.”

Taylor said the immediate results were warm feet and hands — something she had been missing in her years of struggling with the disease.

And in the weeks and months following the treatment her medication intake has decreased dramatically.

“I am totally off my anti-fatigue medication and one other one,” she said.

Taylor was told by her neurologist in November that there wasn’t anything more that could be done for her, that she was at the highest level for her muscle spasm medication.

“I was steps away from using a walker or a wheelchair full time,” Taylor said.

“No I no longer have bladder issues or the MS Hug — muscles between my ribs going into spasms until I can’t take a breath. I get better everyday. How Canada can refuse this treatment to all MS’ers is beyond my reason 453570

Humane Society gets boost from Barrhaven store DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Barrhaven and area residents have opened their wallets to raise money for the Ottawa Humane Society.

Over $600 was raised through the Global Pet Foods’ Show Us Your Heart campaign – a joint initiative with Hill’s Science Diet – in support of the sick and homeless pets at the humane society.

The store matched the donations dollar-for-dollar, bringing the total to $1,200 for the fundraiser, which ran from Feb. 12 to 19.

“It was outstanding,” owner Richard Higgs said.

“We’re grateful to the generous donations of our Barrhaven customers.

“We’re very happy with the results.”

While some donations were made online via Pay Pal, Higgs said most of the donations were made in-store.

Global Pet Foods has locations in Stittsville and Orleans. Between the three locations, over $2,700 was raised Stittsville residents had their money donated to the Arnprior Humane Society. Higgs said $100,000 was raised by the 140 stores nationwide.

City’s new advertising policy includes naming rights for buildings laura.mueller@metroland.com

Want to leave your mark on the City of Ottawa? Under a new plan, you could name a city building, room or structure – for a price.

Selling naming rights to city-owned facilities is just one of the ideas in a new five-year marketing plan that is expected to generate up to $12.7 million in additional revenue for the city over the next five years.

The city currently receives about $5.5 million in sponsorships and in-kind donations each year, but a report from city staff indicates that could be topped up with an additional $3.7 million annually by making some changes.

River Coun. Maria McRae expressed concern that the plan wouldn’t make as much money as city staff hope.

“I don’t want to put out numbers that are too high and create unrealistic expectations,” she said.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark

said he was not applauding the program, adding that the potential revenue suggested by city staff didn’t seem like a conservative estimate.

Mayor Jim Watson assured members of the city’s finance and economic development committee that the projections were achievable.

“We’re going to under promise and over deliver,” he said.

Clark was the only committee member to vote against the new advertising policy during the March 1 meeting.

Some councillors, such as Diane Deans and Keith Egli wanted to ensure that city buildings that have already received commemorative names will not be renamed.

“I want to make sure there are safeguards in place,” Egli said.

City staff assured councillors that buildings that have already been named using the city’s commemorative naming policy would not change. In those cases, there may be opportunities to purchase the naming rights to internal portions of the building, such as a pool or a room.

Snowmobilers allowed on Osgoode Pathway Petitions do nothing to stop winter vehicles LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A last-minute move to keep snowmobilers off the Osgoode Pathway didn’t get any traction at city hall on March 10.

Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess tried to revive Coun. Diane Deans’s attempt to allow only non-motorized recreation on a section of the path that runs through Osgoode Village.

Deans, who represents neighbouring Gloucester-Southgate Ward, tried to get councillors to approve a similar request at a joint transportation and agriculture and rural affairs committee meeting a week before, but councillors rejected the idea.

“I believe our facilities should be dedicated for use of active recreation only, we shouldn’t be creating those conflicts,” Deans said, referring to potential clashes or danger created by having skiers and pedestrians on the same path as snowmobiles.

Capital Ward Coun. David Chernushenko agreed, saying, “The unin-

Don’t tear up downtown during 150th: city council Find a way to complete light rail by 2017, say councillors LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Some city councillors say they are starting to lose patience with the slow pace at which Ottawa’s light-rail transit plans are progressing.

For some, the prospect of a torn-up downtown during Canada’s 150th birthday is beginning to become a concern.

Plans for the 2017 celebration are starting to be outlined, and some councillors think the drawn-out process to bring light rail to Ottawa could be hastened to ensure the construction is done before then.

As it stands, the system is supposed to be ready by 2019.

That didn’t sit well with Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. She kicked off an interrogation during a March 1 meeting of the city’s finance and economic development committee.

“This isn’t rocket science,” she chastised city staff.

Other councillors followed suit, using what was intended to be a brief, regular update on the project to air their grievances over the lengthy timelines.

Harder and other councillors said they cannot understand why city staff say construction can’t be completed until 2019.

“I can’t determine a good reason in my own mind why we’re not moving forward more rapidly on this,” Harder said. “This isn’t brand new… There are not going to be new companies that are going to be developed in the world that are going to have some new twist on it.”

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who is also the head of the city’s transportation committee, expressed the most frustration that the project wasn’t set to be completed

before the 150th anniversary, while Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said it would be nice for the city to be able to show off the new rail system during Canada’s sesquicentennial.

The National Capital Commission will take the lead on many of the 150th celebrations, and the agency will be watching closely to see how the construction might impact events.

“Many national celebrations marking Canada’s 150th anniversary will occur in the heart of the Capital. As plans firm up for LRT, and the impact of works on the downtown core are better known, there may be factors that will need to be addressed,” spokesperson Lucie Caron wrote in an email.

The anniversary is sure to be a big deal for the NCC, and the event goes “right to the heart” of the agency’s mandate, Caron said.

“We’re really looking forward to showcasing our shared history, culture and values for this Canadian milestone.”

For her part, Somerset Coun.

Diane Holmes was mainly concerned with the plans for LRT

stations in her downtown ward.

Councillors have already been told about changes to the plans for some of the stations – including moving the University of Ottawa station to the surface instead of underground – and Holmes wants to be briefed monthly on any additional changes to stations.

Picking up on the frustration, Mayor Jim Watson said he would work with city staff to try to find ways to move the project forward faster.

“There seems to be a common theme here: Let’s get on with this,” Watson said.

Watson and other members of council said they were particularly worried about the lengthy timelines because inflation will drive the cost of the project up the longer it takes. The financial numbers quoted to council – and contributions from the federal and provincial governments – are in 2009 dollars and don’t account for increasing costs.

That troubled transit commission chair, Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who is also worried that the scope of the

project will continue shrinking as staff try to keep costs within the project’s $2.1-billion budget.

Deans pointed to a December report that all but confirms the downtown tunnel will have to be shortened by up to 900 metres (about a third of the total length) due to underground conditions that would push up the cost.

“Is the project still really viable?” Deans asked. “Are we still building what we thought we needed to build, at that point?”

Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said the LRT system will be the same length with the same number of stations, but staff are following council’s direction to be mindful of the costs.

John Jensen, manager of the city’s rail implementation office, said he will come back to the committee with a report in May on why the process is taking so long and how it could be sped up.

He said that the city will have an opportunity to influence construction companies to build it faster as part of the bidding process for the project.

Raiders knot first-round series with Braves Nepean gets bonus contributions to stave off injuries DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

The first-round Central Canada Hockey League series between the Nepean Raiders and Brockville Braves has come down to a best-of-three affair.

The Raiders tied the series at two with a 4-3 win in Game 4 at the Nepean Sportsplex on March 13, thanks to three goals in first 6:41 of the contest.

Kenneth Neil scored just 18 seconds into the game and Cole Weedmark and Keenan Hodgson continued the early offensive onslaught, ending the night for Braves goaltender Justin Gilbert.

Although the Braves tried to mount a comeback, bringing the game to within one goal before the end of the second period, Nepean held on for the win.

“Any time you can chase their goalie from the net it’s huge,” Goulet said. “Our guys did a good job of battling through it. It was a good team effort. They’re

a good hockey team, they’re going to chip away at it.”

Raiders captain Craig Cowie scored Nepean’s final goal on a power play. Mike Skakum scored twice for Brockville, with Sebastien Gingras scoring the other goal.

Raiders goaltender Dan Altshuller was solid in net. He made 43 saves in the victory.

Aside from the early goal scoring and Altshuller’s play, the Raiders are tied because they are getting additional contributions from some unlikely sources.

Leading scorer Brent Norris missed Game 4 with an undisclosed injury and remains dayto-day, while winger Buddy Robinson only played a handful of shifts with a nagging injury.

On the blue-line Cameron Odam is out for the series after getting hurt in Game 2. Goulet would only say that Odam would be out for a minimum of two weeks. He was seen after the game with a sling over his right shoulder.

That meant the Raiders’ top line for Game 4 consisted of Cowie, Weedmark and Scott Domenico, who were three of the better players on the ice.

“The guys have stepped up,” Goulet said. “You have to be a team. It doesn’t matter who’s hurt we need everyone to contribute.”

With the home team winning all four games in the series now – Brockville won games 1 and 3 by 4-0 and 7-4 scores, and Ne-
