Childcare reimbursement policy needs updating: MP Poilievre Kelly Kent
kkent@metroland.com
Where can you find childcare for $0.39 an hour? Chances are, such a place does not exist. For Capt. Kellie Brennan, a solider of 25 years and single parent to eight children, that’s the budget she has to
work with when she leaves town for training during the one-year military course she is currently tasked with. The flat-rate subsidy of $75 per day, provided to families who require childcare services during training or government travel, is simply not enough to cover her needs. See FLAT page 2

On Sunday, May 8 – Mothers’ Day – Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre held an event to call on the government to update its childcare reimbursement policies to provide better service to single parents with multiple children. The current $75 flat rate per day is not sufficient for a family like that of Capt. Kellie Brennan, a solider of 25 years and single parent to eight children.

On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre called on the government to update its childcare reimbursement policies to provide better service to single parents with multiple children. “What I’m saying is I don’t think it should be a flat rate per day,” Poilievre said in a follow up interview with Metroland Media, adding that families would be better served with a per-child rate. Poilievre held a conference on Mother’s Day to call attention to the struggle single parents face with the current reimbursement system after Brennan approached him with her story recently. “The problem is, Capt. Brennan has eight children and she’s a single parent,” he said, continuing to say childcare is a necessity she can’t go without. “It would appear that the

Calling all artists to Paint the Village June 4 and 5 Event to showcase local artists in Manotick-inspired creation blitz Kelly Kent
kkent@metroland.com File
With its picturesque waterways, historic buildings and quaint streetscapes, the Village of Manotick has a lot of inspiration to offer local artists. During Dickinson Days on Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5, that bountiful inspiration will provide the basis for the inaugural Paint the Village event that will showcase all of Manotick’s best artistic muses. “There’s so much there for artists to be inspired by,” said Courtney Rock, community outreach volunteer development manager at Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS). “We know we’ll get some really great art out of the event.” Inspired by a similar event called Paint Sea on Site hosted in Lunenburg, N.S., Paint the Village will bring artists of all mediums to Manotick for a day of art creation. Dozens of artists will descend upon the village on the Saturday to find inspiration and create their art on site. “The idea is to create
Scenes like this one of Watson’s Mill will be inspiration for the inaugural Paint the Village event hosted by Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) on Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5. Artists will spend Saturday in the village, creating art inspired by their surroundings. Then, on Sunday, the finished pieces will be auctioned to the public in a “Wet Paint Sale.” something inspired by their surroundings,” said Rock of the event. “The point is for it to be created on site within Manotick.” Then, on Sunday, the pieces will be auctioned to the public in a “Wet Paint Sale”. Half of the proceeds from the sales will be returned to the artists, while the other half will benefit both ROSSS and the Youth of Manotick Association (YOMA). “We (at ROSSS) thought this event would really take off in Manotick, especially with the art community and so many talented people,” Rock added.
Manotick and throughout the Ottawa area, Rock said. Painters, photographers, sketch artists, sculptors, potters and more will be stationed throughout the village to create their Manotick-inspired art. Rock said she hopes to see 30 or more artists participate in this first instalment of the event. ROSSS is still looking for artists who would like to participate in the event. Paint the Village is open to individual artists and groups so long as they can create art in the two-day timespan. “Maybe it won’t be the types of pieces that take hundreds of hours to complete, like some artists are used to, but a sort of paired down version that can be created within a weekend,”
ARTISTS
Paint the Village is open to artists of all mediums from
Rock said. Interested artists can visit the event’s website at paintthevillage.ca to find out more details and to register. The fee for registration is $25 for adults and $15 for youth, which includes a Tshirt and a free lunch provided by the Manotick Subway location. Alternatively, artists can stop by the ROSSS office (1128 Mill St.) or contact Rock at 613-692-4697 to register. VISITORS
There will be several opportunities for the general public to participate in Paint the Village, Rock said. As part of the event, ROSSS is working with several local businesses to set up “Creation Stations” – areas (often tents) with snacks and drinks where visitors of the event can watch while various artists do their work. ROSSS is working on creating a map of each Creation
Station location, which will be available on the event’s website (paintthevillage.ca). Perhaps the most exciting way to get involved, however, is to participate in Sunday’s auction of the created art. The auction will take place inside a large tent at Dickinson Square between noon and 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 5. Artists are being asked to assign two prices to each piece at the auc-
tion: a takeaway price and a starting bid. The takeaway price will be the straightpurchase price for anyone interested in owning the piece without having to go through the bidding process. The starting bid price will be where the bidding will begin for that specific piece. “This is a way to make art accessible to everyone,” said Rock of the event. “We hope we can really showcase local art and also Manotick.”

Five months later, OLG workers continue to fight for agreement Shut out since Dec. 15, employees rally to Ontario Premier Kelly Kent
kkent@metroland.com
It’s been more than five months since 124 Rideau Carleton Raceway slots workers were forced out of their jobs, yet the fight for a fair collective agreement from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) continues. In the latest of a string of demonstrations to promote their cause, workers rallied to Premier Kathleen Wynne on Friday, May 6 while she was in the city for a speaking event. “That worked out very well for us,” said Larry Rousseau, regional executive vice president for the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) in the National Capital Region. Several workers attended Wynne’s event at the Fairmont Château Laurier Hotel on Rideau Street, holding up signs for fairness and justice during the premier’s speech. In addition, some 200 picketers rallied out front of the hotel during the event. Afterwards, Rousseau said several employees had the opportunity to speak to Wynne about their battle with OLG for a collective agreement. “It was an excellent opportunity to bring our issues front and centre to the premier,” he added. In their discussions, Rousseau said Wynne agreed that getting employees back to work with a fair contract is important. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli and OttawaVanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur also agreed. “It just seems that OLG hasn’t yet gotten

Though Rousseau said he hopes to see movement from OLG in the near future, PSAC and the workers have a plan to continue rallies until an agreement is reached. The next step is to establish permanent pickets outside of MPP offices, including those of Chiarelli, Meilleur and Ottawa Centre MPP Yassir Naqvi. “This will continue until we reach an agreement,” Rousseau said, adding that this lockout has been very tough on the workers. It’s been more than five months since over 100 employees were shut out of work on Dec. 15.

An Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation spokesperson said that an injunction limiting the number of picketers at various Rideau Carleton Raceway Slots entrances was aimed at keeping people safe. Rui Brum, said picketers have been crowding the entrances to the building and preventing customers from accessing the site. “They would hold people up for as long as an hour,” he said. “That’s not acceptable and not in keeping with safe picketing practices.” Under the interim injunction – which the Ontario Superior Court will hear – limits the number of picketers in each of the four entrances.

Survey begins to map out Hospital Link landscaping plans erin.mccracken@metroland.com
With maps in hand and city officials as their guides, Riverview Park residents got a first-hand glimpse of a construction site where a portion of their community is being transformed into the Hospital Link Road. Located along the northern edge of CHEO, the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus and the Department of National Defence medical property east of Alta Vista Drive, the site is still very much a work in progress. Large swaths of bulldozed dirt give a rough outline of where the new two-lane road will be located. “I think the highlights were actually seeing firsthand where the road is and what the footprint is,” said Kris Nanda, president of the Riverview Park Community Association, who requested the community walkthrough. “I think it’s a really good first step.” There is still a lot to do before the road will open to traffic in December 2017 – an overpass at Riverside Drive and a VIA Rail bypass are not yet finished. And work has not begun on the threeway stop that will connect the new road to the Ring Road at the hospital complex. That intersection will mean the demise of the community’s popular toboggan hill. But during the May 2 walkthrough, about 25 residents surveyed a proposed site for a new sliding hill close to the opening in the hydro corridor fence southwest of Riverview Alternative School, located on Knox Avenue. “The road’s going ahead. It’s happening and I wish it wasn’t, but we’re trying to put a positive spin on it and being realistic,” Nanda said. NOT A DONE DEAL
He said it’s beneficial that the community provide feedback before the landscaping design is finalized, including locations for earthen berms designed to reduce traffic noise once the road opens. “The only thing we have now are two berms down by Alta Vista (Drive),” said city engineer Bruce Kenny, who is managing the Hospital Link construction project. “But that doesn’t preclude us from putting in more berms along here,” he added, motioning to a spot directly north of the National Defence medical property at the west end of the hospital complex. All landscaping will be done in
2018. “I think it’s good that we’re doing this earlier before the designs are finalized,” said Nanda. “My hope is that the final product will be better because people have had a chance to (provide) input early on so that the initial design that they actually see … will reflect some of the comments that came out tonight and it’s not just a fait d’accompli.” Residents also heard during the tour about the potential to link a pathway from Riverview Park homes to the residential tower on Roger Guindon Avenue east of the medical complex, and possibly having a path run along the Ring Road on hospital property. The $69.7-million Hospital Link, which is being paid for by development charges, is being constructed to alleviate traffic on Alta Vista Drive and Smyth Road. It is meant to serve as a backdoor route into the medical complex for
staff, visitors, students and volunteers coming from outside the neighbourhood. The Link is also viewed as the first stage of the controversial four-lane Alta Vista Transportation Corridor that is pegged to run from Nicholas Road at Highway 417 to Conroy at Walkley. “We understand that this road is not overly popular with the community and the four lanes absolutely is not, but we would ... if there were berms going in, look at where the future four lanes would go so that we don’t start from scratch and we have a mature feature here, not just the berm itself,” Kenny said of the landscape design. The landscaping contract was separated from the road construction contract to give residents a chance to provide feedback. “I like the fact we’re doing it as a separate contract from the roads contract because it gives us
! % 0 9 o T p U Save
more control,” said Martha Lush, a senior landscape architect with CSW Landscape Architects, which is tasked with the design work. The project design has evolved and that means there is now more space for berms. “Because the road has changed since we started the landscape design – the stormwater ponds have disappeared, the (road) alignment toward the hospital has changed – we have a great opportunity to take your comments and your preferences and see how we can integrate them into the overall corridor,” Lush said. “We are not planning to just walk away and leaving it like this.” A variety of new trees will be planted and wildflower meadows may also be a good fit. As part of Ottawa 2017 celebrations, every ward in the city will receive 150 silver, red and sugar maples. And these could be an option for the site, said Alta Vista
Coun. Jean Cloutier, who took part in the tour, as did Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. NEXT STEPS
The community’s landscaping wish list is now being sought before a meeting is held, possibly in mid-June. Kenny said another walkthrough may be an option. “As part of this consult process we’ll talk about the pedestrian and cycling connectivity,” he said. The project team will also need to know the community’s preferences for the size of noise-mitigating berms that will be built. “We want to make sure we leave enough soil on site so that we’re not actually going and buying soil from somewhere else after we’ve taken 30,000 cubic meters away,” Kenny said. The landscaping plans will be presented to residents before they are finalized, said Lush.
Leitrim Development Area Updated Serviceability Report Class EA OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b Open House May 25, 2016 Fred G.

In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment Number 76 (OPA 76), the City of Ottawa increased its urban envelope and part of that expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b (87.2 hectares) were added to the LDA as per Planning Committee Report Number 33 (dated June 27, 2012). The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the EA process. The Updated Serviceability Report is prepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing that integrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA. To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open house will address:

Province must keep Metrolinx cost in line
T
he provincial government has used blackmail to get major centres in Ontario to use the province’s Metrolinx operated Presto payment system as the smart card system for transit fare payment in the province. So it is the province that must make sure that Metrolinx does not gouge municipal transit systems. This issue is top of mind for civic leaders such as Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson these days as the initial contract to use Presto comes up for renewal. Some media reports are even suggesting that Metrolinx is seeking as much as a 10 per cent commission on each Presto transaction. The contract with the company ends in October and at this time that contract requires a two per cent commission be paid on each fare. With the end of the contract will come an increase in the commission, and as Metroland Media reports, it’s just not clear how much that will be. The province must make sure there is a fair fare commission. While Watson said the system has been working well, he doesn’t want the city to be treated as a cash cow by Metrolinx
and Presto to fund their operations. “We think a reasonable fee schedule should be established and we’ve put forward proposals,” Watson said. The mayor noted he plans to travel to Toronto at the end of the month and will meet with several ministers – including Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Luca. “Sometimes these issues can be solved by staff, but sometimes they turn political,” he said. “We have let them know very clearly that we want to make sure Presto remains affordable for our passengers, first and foremost, and secondly, for the city.” Watson said the deal has had the effect of creating a monopoly. If OC Transpo doesn’t use the proprietary payment system, the city isn’t eligible for the millions in funding it receives annually from provincial gas tax transfers. What gas tax revenue has to do with a specific transit system fare payment system is anyone’s guess, but that is the blackmail the province has used to, in essence, create a provincial monopoly. Join up or you won’t get your gas tax money. If the mob did that it would be called a shakedown. When the province does it, it’s called public policy.
Access to public washrooms is an issue
T
hese days a lot of attention is being paid in the news media to the problems of people finding a washroom appropriate to their gender. Much less attention is paid to the problem of people finding a washroom at all. You might be familiar with a recent study conducted by Carleton University Social Work students who looked at public toilets owned and operated by the City of Ottawa. The study unearthed accessibility problems and signage problems. But the most significant finding was that “45 per cent of the City of Ottawa public toilets were unavailable for access, either due to seasonal or daily closures.” That study, it should be added, was conducted during normal operating hours, 9 to 5. Let’s remember that people don’t all re-
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town treat into their houses after 5. In fact, many of them come out to play. They come out to city parks, with their children, and you never know when a child has to go — or an adult, for that matter. Here’s a typical weekday evening in a typical city park. There are three baseball diamonds, two of them in use. That would involve, roughly, 50 players, plus coaches, plus parents, plus siblings and spectators — 100 people or more. They are in the park for a minimum of two hours. Fortunately,
there is a clubhouse building with washrooms. But the washroom doors are locked. Ridiculous things happen then. The mother of a player borrows a car and drives to the nearest McDonald’s to use the washroom. A child who can’t get to a restaurant pees in the bushes. The bushes abut someone’s back yard. The person whose back yard it is yells at the child. The child probably wasn’t the first to use those bushes. Oddly, toilets are available in some parks with no clubhouse buildings because a porta potty has been installed. There is no logic to it. You know why those washrooms aren’t open. They need to be staffed, it is felt, staffing costs money and the city is always looking for ways to save it. But this is one expenditure that

might actually win votes. Not to sound like a broken record, but maybe some of the money allotted to the big 2017 celebrations could be diverted. Or maybe the city could come to an agreement with sports leagues or community associations. Whatever the solution, one is needed. The arguments in favour of more public washrooms open for longer hours hardly need repeating: the population is aging; the number of people with debilitating conditions who can’t be far from a washroom is growing. Beyond that, our aim should be to get both you and older people out of the house and more active, since that is essential both for physical and mental health. We don’t want people staying in who should be out. The Carleton study should help, that’s for sure. The city’s initial response has been to create a EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Joe Morin joe.morin@metroland.com 613-221-6240 REPORTER: Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com, 613-221-6159
washroom map on its website. If that map is the one I found, it is as impenetrable as the washroom in the city park after 5 p.m. Maps and apps are nice, but they are not the answer. The answer is opening doors. Opening the washroom doors opens a lot of other doors for the people of the city.

By Bike cycling workshops spread biking awareness By Emma Gardner
The Ontario By Bike Network is holding workshops across Ontario to try and find and educate businesses on the Cycle Tourism industry to create a safer and more successful way to bike. The city of Ottawa is a very bike friendly city with over 600 km of bike lanes, paved shoulders, multi-use paths and over 10,000 bike parking spaces. It was the first city in Ontario to receive a gold-level Bicycle Friendly Community Award. The workshops provide information about the Network and how to become a bicycle friendly business. It is free to join the Network but there is a set of criteria your business needs to have. Some criteria include a safe place to keep the bikes and a bike repair
kit. Not only will the Ontario By Bike Network bring safer and better ways for cyclists to get around, it will also bring money into local communities. Cycle tourists spend an estimated $200 on accommodations, food and souvenirs while on their tour. The network helps out smaller, family owned businesses that are a part of the tour by exposing them to a “digital footprint” through their website and through print on their maps and magazines. In 2008 the city of Ottawa released a 20year Cycling Plan that outlined cycling safety, infrastructure, and education. Every year the city adds to the current existing trails and as of 2015 they have 857km of bike lanes, paved shoulders, tracks and off road pathways. They are working towards their goal of 2,340 km.

Week In Review
My office hosted our first BBQ in the Park that coincided with the 2nd Annual Metcalfe Meet and Greet. With the beautiful weather that we had, there was a tremendous turnout in the village that saw close to 300 people pass through our BBQ. Families were entertained by the balloon artist Dr.Kaboom, the miniature horse was brought by the McGowan’s with the Eastern Ontario Miniature Horse Club, face painting was provided by student volunteers and the local Volunteer Firefighters came with the bbq and did all the work! How great was that for community spirit! Ottawa Police Services also joined us with finger printing for children as well as give aways. Stay tuned for our next BBQ in the Park coming to Osgoode in June!! The 2nd Annual Meet & Greet in the street took place in Metcalfe last Saturday with a fantastic turnout! The weather co operated, we bbq’d and the Farmers’ Market all took place the same day. Marc Sauve and his great team of local business people planned out this event to the last detail and it all came together as another great success! Congratulations to everyone involved and sharing their community spirit in such a unique way as to advertise what we have here in the village to shop local and stay local. We are looking forward to this event again next year! Welcome back “Metcalfe Farmers Market” for another great season ahead! The official opening took place this past Saturday at the Metcalfe Fairgrounds with so many people anxiously looking around at all the new vendors! Their new hours will be every Saturday from 9am-1pm. Come out and see the new vendors along with many familiar favourites too! Hope to see you there soon. The world renowned Ottawa Heart Institute celebrated their 40th year with a Founders’ Breakfast that was well attended by hundreds of former patients, staff and politicians. Dr. Wilbert Keon was present to join in the celebrations of his dream 40 years ago to bring top of the line heart surgery to Ottawa. His vision to make it all happen right here in Ottawa partnered with the University of Ottawa was a story that was shared by many people throughout the morning. There wasn’t a person there that wasn’t touched by this world class facility in some way over the past 40 years whether it was personally or someone they knew that experienced the benefits of having it here in Ottawa. Hats off to all the exceptional Doctors and Nurses that take care of us in the same manner that Dr.Keon had envisioned many years ago. I participated with the Greely Lions as they volunteered once again at the Blood Donor Clinic held at the Greely Community Centre this wook. They looked after the post donation, rest and recovery area with smiles on their faces. Always great to see the Lions involved in the community service events. This week at Drop in Tuesday we had several people once again just dropping in for quick issues and/or saying hello. It is still one of the best ways to connect with residents personally. We meet sometimes for the first time and others know the convenience of being able to stop into the Ward office. I’m always happy to do what I can. See you next Tuesday, 1-5pm in Metcalfe. I had a great time celebrating National Nurses week. On Friady I also attended a breakfast recognizing all the outstanding work that Nurses do for us all in our communities. Be sure to take the time to say thank you to a nurse when you have the chance. They truly are an exceptional group of men and women that dedicate the many tireless hours to looking after us.

Residents can take advantage of clean water grant program City will allow applications for repair of septic systems Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee heard that rural residents will once again be able to take advantage of the rural clean water grant program for repairs and renovations to their septic
systems. The program – which doles out $200,000 in grants for projects that protect surface water and groundwater quality – had stopped allowing septic projects in 2011. Julia Robinson, from the city’s environmental services department, said it was
taken out because the program became overburdened with requests. It’s inclusion will have a cap of $20,000 to allow for a mix of projects, she said. The septic grants are maxed at $1,000 or a 50 per cent work share if it’s under $1,000, Robinson said. West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry asked if residents had been made aware of the addition. “Many people were upset when it was removed and would like to take advantage of it,” he said. “I would like to see rural affairs promote this.” A rejig of the program last year also included the approval to use the surplus from previous to fund additional projects. Residents can apply as long as they live in any rural property in Ottawa. They have to have the grant approved before they start work. Robinson said there were 52 applications this year, for a total of $194,744. There were 57 projects approved in 2015 – for a total of $185,000 in city money and $188,000 from landowners. Robinson said 37 projects are already completed and the majority of applications were under stream stabilization. Applications can be made under: • Manure storage and treatment, • Wash water treatment, • Precision farming plans, • Erosion control, • Cover crops The exact amounts are available at http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/funding/ environmental-funding/ottawa-ruralclean-water-program-orcwp-programdescription
Ottawa resident hits the jackpot with winning lottery ticket Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland
It was the phone call that hinted to Violet Jackson she’d likely won more than she initially thought.
The Ottawa resident scratched an Instant Extreme Millions ticket just after purchasing it at the International News store at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre, the Ontario Lottery
and Gaming Corporation announced May 3. “At first glance I thought I won $1,000,” Jackson said while picking up her winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto on May 2.
“When the retailer validated my ticket and OLG called the store to speak with me, I knew it was a bigger prize.” It turns out there was an extra zero on her ticket that she didn’t notice. And gaming officials told her she had, in fact, won the top prize of $1 million. “Winning the lottery feels
surreal,” she said. “I never thought I would be coming to the prize centre to collect a big prize.” Jackson has already dreamed up several ideas on how to spend her winnings, including giving monetary gifts to her children and investing some of the winnings.
“I would also like to take my family on a trip to a warm destination,” she said. The scratch ticket Jackson won with is a $20 instant game that features 25 top prizes of $1 million. The odds of winning a cash prize with the scratch ticket Jackson bought are one-in-three.

Connected to your community
To Anastasia on her first Mother’s Day
am writing this column as a letter to someone I only recently met. I have known Anastasia, my daughter, since before she was born. She introduced herself to me with firm kicks of independence and happy dancing while she was still in the womb. Anastasia the mother, however, I just met on December 2nd, 2015. She bears a resemblance to the young woman I watched grow up. But another aspect of her personality is emerging. She is a confident, calm and knowledgeable young mother, and I admire her patience, her strength and her wholehearted dedication to this tiny being who has been delivered to her care. This is my note to her, my middle daughter, Leti’s mom. Dear Anastasia. One year ago, you gave me a card that said, “Happy Mother’s Day,
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife GRANDMA.” I thought you chose it for the flowers on it and didn’t read it very carefully. Actually, it was chosen with care. That is how you announced that baby Leti was coming. Of all the wonderful homemade gifts I have received over the years, I would have to say that’s a winner. I bought a brand new photo album and stuck the card on the front. Over the past year I have filled the album with weekly photos, chronicling every morning of this new journey that we are on: you as a mother, me as a grandmother. It’s quite an
adventure already. While you were pregnant, I listened as you reported on your frequent bouts of morning sickness and my memory (and my stomach) commiserated. But you were just telling me a story; you weren’t complaining. You never complained. Not even when your feet swelled up to the point you could no longer wear proper shoes. Not even when you could no longer sleep lying down but had to recline slightly in a chair, surrounded by your worried dogs. You studied pregnancy so that you would understand exactly
what your body was going through, and you explained it to the rest of us. I was pregnant three times and all kinds of weird and wonderful things happened to me. I just listened to the doctor, whom I only saw about once a month for most of the pregnancy. In contrast, you trust your instincts and challenge the doctor when you see things a different way. I admire your confidence and will. You listened to the little person growing inside your body and made your own decisions on how things would go. When you went into labour a month early, you trusted your instincts and got yourself safely to your husband and your doctor. You calmly told your mate he would not be leaving your side – not even to collect an overnight bag. You spoke to me and to your partner and to the nurses,
all the while breathing deeply through your contractions. You were so calm. Even when the contractions went off the chart. The birth itself, you tell me, was the worst pain you had ever been through, but only for a moment. When the baby was born and needed a little boost from CHEO for the first week you travelled back and forth to the hospital daily to be by her side. You curved your new little family into its own rhythm of feedings and changings, naps and playtime. The rest of the world was firmly but gently told to wait until you could fit it into your schedule. You realized you were in charge and made sure everyone else understood. A proud and protective Little Mama Bear. You have everything you need, at 24, to carry out this
most important job with ease. There will be challenges. There will be setbacks and disappointments. But with your calm confidence, your strong partner at your side, and your positive outlook, you will get through whatever comes your way. For a long time I have been very proud of the young woman you have grown into, Anastasia. And now I would like to say I am in awe of the mother you are becoming. You will always be my daughter. My little girl. But I am very happy to know this new side of you: Leti’s Mom. It’s nice to meet you. Happy First Mother’s Day.

Marguerite’s show and tell quashed by Emerson and Cecil
T
here was no such thing as “show and tell” at the Northcote School. There was no room for something as frivolous as bringing something from home to talk about in front of the rest of the pupils. Once we settled in our seats, our whole day, except for a 15 minute recess, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and of course our hour for lunch, we were stuck to our seats like flypaper. The truth of the matter was none of us had much to show off, even if there was something called ‘show and tell’. With the exception of bad Marguerite, of course. If it wasn’t brand new hair ribbons laying across her Shirley Temple curls like a folded up Renfrew Mercury, it was ankle sox with real lace on the cuffs. And then one day, just before Miss Crosby came
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories out on the stoop to ring the big brass bell, in rolled Marguerite on a brand new bicycle. No one ever rode a bicycle to the Northcote School, not even cousins Two or Three Mile Herman, who came all the way from the Barr Line. The Northcote Side Road, like a washboard and full of ruts, meant that anyone who would even attempt to ride a bicycle on it would be hard pressed to get to school before the nine o’clock bell. And there was bad Marguerite who lived just a spit away, riding a brand new
bicycle. It was bright green and it had wide tires, which my brother Emerson called balloon tires, and it had a little bell on the handlebars, which Marguerite kept ringing all the way into the schoolyard. My best friends Joyce and Velma and I just stood there like stone. A new bicycle!! Imagine!! We were taught at the Lutheran Sunday school that envy was a mortal sin, but that day I came close to breaking that commandment. Marguerite leaned the bicycle against the side of the stoop, wiped the fenders
with the cuff of her sweater, and made it clear to all of us standing gawking at it, that it would be curtains for anyone who laid a hand on it! Even Miss Crosby’s eyes were like saucers, but of course she said nothing, ever careful not to show favouritism to any one pupil. Marguirite asked, during the morning, if she could go to the windowsill and sharpen her pencil. We knew perfectly well there wasn’t a thing wrong with her pencil. What she wanted to do was take a peek outside to have a look at her bicycle! All went well into the day. Morning recess passed. No one mentioned the new bicycle. Our lunch was eaten outside, and still no one talked about the bicycle. Marguirite was plenty annoyed, you could tell just by the way she was tossing those hateful store-dyed curls around. I could see
my brother Emerson and his pal Cecil snickering over by the back fence, but they never went near the bicycle either. Afternoon recess came and went. Cecil put up his hand, with two fingers, which meant he had to use the outside privy, and it would take longer than if he only held up one finger. Miss Crosby nodded, and Cecil got up from his desk, nodded at Emerson, and went out the door. Finally, the big CPR clock on the wall showed it was four o’clock, and Miss Crosby said we were dismissed. Emerson and Cecil were the first to get out the door, and they headed right for the gate, where they looked like they had just robbed a bank. Marguirite wasn’t far behind. She took one look at her bicycle and her scream could be heard in Admas-

ton! Velma, Joyce and I ran to see what all the commotion was about, and there were those two big balloon tires, as flat as pancakes. “Must have a slow leak,” Cecil said, as he wandered over from the gate. “Happens all the time on our old Model T,” Emerson offered. “Guess you’ll just have to push and drag it home.” When I last saw Marguirite and her bicycle she hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards. The bicycle was big and heavy, the road was full of ruts, and even though she lived close to the school, and we were three and a half miles, Velma guessed we’d beat her home.

Hard Hat Heroes unveils new play structure at Parkwood Hills Initiative will fund community improvement projects across Ottawa Kelly Kent
kkent@metroland.com
Families in the Parkwood Hills community have somewhere new to enjoy the sunshine this summer, now that a play structure has opened at Inverness Park. PCL Constructors Canada and United Way Ottawa unveiled the new structure on May 12 as the official launch of their Hard Hat Heroes Fund, which supports neighbourhood improvement capital projects. “This is our first project
Kelly Kent/Metroland
On Thursday, May 12, PCL PCL Constructors Canada and United Way Ottawa launched their new initiative, Hard Hat Heroes, by unveiling a new play structure at Inverness Park in Parkwood Hills. This is the first in a string of community improvement projects Hard Hat Heroes hope to complete.
ever,” said Emily Parent, senior accounting manager with PCL, of the new structure. “This is a big day for us.” Hard Hat Heroes is a joint initiative between PCL and United Way Ottawa. PCL employees have the opportunity to fund community improvement projects, including Hard Hat Heroes, through their annual charitable campaign contributions. “Employees get to decide which projects they’d like to contribute to,” Parent said, adding that United Way Ottawa will compile a list of potential improvement projects each year. The new Parkwood Hills structure was funded equally by Hard Hat Hereos and the City of Ottawa, with
additional support from the Nepean, Rideau & Osgoode Community Resource Centre (NROCRC). Sandy Wooley, executive director of NROCRC, said during the launch that a having affordable activity options for local families is especially important in communities such as Parkwood Hills. According to a release from the event, children under nine years old account for nine per cent of local residents. Further, 18.5 per cent of community members come from single-parent homes. Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau, acting in his United Way Ottawa campaign co-chair role, said that the park is likely to become a rallying point for the community to celebrate.
“It’s going to let a whole lot of kids have a great time here,” echoed Coun. Keith Egli. Egli also announced that the new structure is only Phase 1 for Inverness Park. Phase 2 includes the construction of a new splash pad, hopefully open for use sometime this summer. The Parkwood Hills play structure is the first in a series of projects Hard Hat Heroes hopes to fund, Parent said. The next project is construction of a gazebo at Golden Manor, a seniors’ residence at 445 Richmond Rd. near Westboro. “We’ll fund any sort of capital project that gives a boost to a community,” Parent said. “That includes kids, seniors and everyone, really, from all over the city.”

Vanilla-spiked strawberry danish Fresh strawberry danishes are easy to make using frozen puff pastry. We’ve added cardamom, a classic Scandinavian spice to the glaze. Preparation time: 2 minutes Cooking time: 5 minutes Cooling time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients
• 2 cups (500 mL) chopped strawberries • 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar • 2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla • 1 sheet (225 g) frozen butter puff pastry, thawed • 1 egg yolk • 1 tbsp (15 mL) water • 1/4 cup (50 mL) icing sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) milk • Pinch ground cardamom Preparation instructions
In medium saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar; cook over medium heat stirring frequently
until sugar is dissolved. Mash with potato masher until just little bits remain. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water until smooth. Whisk into strawberry mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla. Refrigerate until fully cooled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, unroll puff pastry, leaving on parchment paper, set on baking sheet. Trim to form a 10- x 8-inch (25 x 20 cm) rectangle. Position pastry with 8-inch (20 cm) side towards you. Starting at bottom right corner of pastry, using a sharp knife, diagonally cut 3-inch (7.5 cm) strips of pastry, about 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide, right to the top of pastry (there might be a tiny triangle of leftover pastry at top, simply discard). Repeat with left side of pastry. Refrigerate pastry on baking sheet while strawberries cool. In small bowl, whisk egg yolk with water; set aside. Spoon strawberry filling down centre of pastry from top to bot-
tom, it should be about 2-inches (5 cm) wide. Starting with left strip, fold one strip over strawberry filling to cover. Then fold one right strip over to cover strawberry filling and part of the left strip. Continue folding left then right strips, right to the bottom. Pastry should resemble a braid. Brush with egg yolk mixture. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Cool completely before icing. In medium bowl, whisk icing sugar with milk, remaining vanilla and cardamom. Add a drop or two of milk if glaze is too thick; drizzle over danish. Slice and serve. Nutritional information

Mayor’s Report
NCC aNd the City By: Mayor Jim Watson
I have long been an advocate for reform at the National Capital Commission (NCC). Since being elected Mayor in 2010 it has become more apparent to me that change is required or else risk hindering the progress of our great city. Until recently, most of the NCC’s board members were neither from the National Capital Region nor chosen by its residents, and that should not be the case. As a first step, in 2014, Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin and I wrote the federal government to make the case for better municipal representation on the National Capital Commission (NCC). On April 11, 2016, we signed the Declaration which welcomed the Mayor of our respective Councils, to participate as non-voting members on the NCC Board of Directors. I was delighted to be able to bring my voice to the table, and it is my hope that this change will lead to stronger federal-municipal collaboration towards our common goal of building an even better national capital region.
On April 28, we attended our first Board meeting, during which the Board voted on the LeBreton Flats proposal. The highest ranked bid was revealed and it was selected by unanimous decision. IllumiNATION LeBreton, by the Rendezvous Lebreton Group, was Foodland Ontario chosen. RendezVous Lebreton will feature an impressive Events Centre, which will also be the new home of the Ottawa Senators. It will also include a large residential component with affordable housing, four-season accessible public spaces as well as commercial, office and retail spaces.

The proposal offers important community benefits, while maintaining historical features and our strong culture. RendezVous Lebreton will be accessible by two LRT stations, Bayview and Pimisi, and promotes connectivity with its surrounding, including the City of Gatineau. The City of Ottawa is very pleased to work with the National Capital Commission on this very exciting development. My recent appointment to the NCC Board of Directors will facilitate a crucial partnership which will this monumental project become an iconic staple in the City of Ottawa.

Amongst many others, topics which were discussed during the Board meeting included the approval of federal land use on which the Memorial to Victims of Communism will be built on, as well as updates on NCC’s initiatives for Canada’s 150th Anniversary in 2017 such as Red Bull crashed Ice, which will see Cross Downhill world champions crash and glide through the Château Laurier, Rideau Canal locks beside Major’s Hill Park. My first NCC Board meeting was an exciting, positive and fruitful one, and I look forward to continue building an open dialogue with the NCC and a better City for residents, visitors and tourists alike.

desserts including chocolate cupcakes and cake pops – all decorated with a splash of yellow.
They’ll be taking part in the 4th annual Lemonade Standemonium. It’s a fundraiser where kids host lemonade stands in their community and raise awareness and funds for local cancer care.
“It was very heartfelt to have so many friends, family and neighbours stopping by to support our lemonade stand – it created a real sense of community and was very empowering for our kids to feel they were making a difference,” explains Fraser.
For Emmerson Markwick, 6, and her big brother Daxton, 8, the Lemonade Standemonium has become a beloved annual event. This is the third year that they have participated in honour of all of their family members who have faced a cancer diagnosis, including their 9 year old cousin Bridget, who was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a rare form of kidney cancer, in 2013. “It was very serious and devastating for our whole family,” explains the kids’ mom, Trina Fraser. “It was important to us to do something to help. Thankfully, after two battles with cancer, Bridget is now doing really well”. To help kick-start this year’s campaign, Daxton and Emmerson hosted their lemonade stand a little early. Along with fresh regular and cranberry/raspberry lemonade, they treated passers-by to yummy PROCEEDS BENEFIT
20 Manotick News - Thursday, May 19, 2016
Over the last three years more than 1,000 stands have registered in the Lemonade Standemonium from right across the region including Orleans, Barrhaven, Kanata, Metcalfe, Manotick, Carp, Stittsville, Calabogie, Renfrew and Kemptville. Through their efforts, the kids have raised more than $190,000 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of Cardel Homes, Palladium Insurance and Accora Village, 100% of the funds raised at each stand have been put to work supporting local cancer research and Cancer Coaching. You can register your stand today at www.ottawacancer.ca/lemonade or contact 613.247.3527. Together we are putting the squeeze on cancer!

Two parties pretty far apart on deal Continued from page 4
At the main entrance, there can be 16, at the other two larger entrances there can be 12 picketers and at the smallest entrance, there can be eight, Brum said. Since the move, customers are delayed under a minute, he said. “We are always concerned with the safety of everyone, including the game floor employees, picketers and customers,” Brum said. “We ask for caution from both parties.” Brum said the problem with extended wait times for customers has cropped up in the last six weeks. The OLG presented another offer to the 120 employees that have been locked out since Dec. 15 on April 14, but the offer was roundly rejected. Workers have been without a contract since Jan. 1, 2014. Brum said the demands of the Public Service
Alliance of Canada – the union that represents the workers – aren’t in keeping with their mandate from the government. “They’re asking for a combined 19.25 per cent increase over five years,” Brum said. “We are under a directive to offset expenses with other efficiencies.” He added most employees make more than $17 per hour and receive tips. But Brian Lancaster, a valet attendant who spoke at the May 5 meeting of the agriculture and rural affairs committee, said that nonunion employees were given a 2 per cent raise that was retroactive, while unionized employees were quoted 1.75 per cent, not retroactive. “We are still pretty far apart,” he said. Brum said the reason for the disparity is because non-unionized employees have gone six years without a raise. Brum also said because the slots fall under the
purview of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, they had no choice but the lock the workers out, once the union had reached a strike mandate. “We can’t have staff walk off the gaming floor,” he said. “The OLG has to always maintain care and control of the gaming floor.” Brum said OLG recently reached an agreement with security staff at Sudbury Downs, as well 18 collective agreements across the province. While Brum said customers are still enjoying their experiences at the slots, he did say the recently quarterly payment to the city was down by $226,000. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, the chair of the agriculture and rural affairs committee said staff are working on a draft of a letter to the OLG to address some of the concerns that came up at the most recent meeting.

Airport lands ‘steady growth’ in passengers, revenues Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Things are looking up at Ottawa’s airport. The number of travellers flying in and out of the Ottawa International Airport went up last year, as did revenues for the non-profit airport authority. Numbers released during the authority’s annual public meeting on May 4 reveal the airport saw 4.65 million passengers in 2015, up 0.86 per cent over 2014. Most – 3.5 million – were travelling within Canada, representing a 1.6 per cent increase over 2014. “We’ve had more growth in domestic than in international. The currency exchange changes the flow,” said Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the airport authority. “It hurt. Initially the hurt was for people going south to the States. “That’s stabilizing, but also the American airlines coming to Canada, they’re
File
Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, says passenger volumes and revenues are expected to stabilize after suffering a decline in recent years due to a drop in economic activity in the region. not seeing as much pickup. So there’s an adjustment going on.” The airport also saw more than 735,000 trans-border passengers last year.
“When that goes down, the domestic numbers go up. So that means they’re hubbing – going to Montreal and Toronto,” Laroche said. The airport also saw
431,000 international passengers in 2015. Overall, last year’s numbers paint a picture of “steady growth,” but Canada’s birthday celebrations in the capital next
year will likely give those figures a boost, said Laroche. “There’s a projection I think of an increase of 1.6 million tourists, but they’re
not all coming by air travel. But there’s going to be an impact for sure.” The authority also tallied some positive financial news. Revenues in 2015 were 5.3 per cent higher at $118.2 million compared to $112.2 million generated in 2014. Much of that was due to raising the airport improvement fee from $20 to $23 (the fee collected from each departing passenger), as well as higher passenger volumes. The numbers are reflective of the region’s economic activity, said Laroche. Passenger numbers and revenues took a tumble in Ottawa in 2013, largely due to federal job cuts in the region and a resulting decline in economic activity. Typical annual growth for the airport is usually between two and three per cent, and Laroche expects the gradual increase in airport activity to continue beyond 2017. See DOMESTIC GROWTH page 23

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!
Domestic growth continues to increase Continued from page 22
“We may get three per cent next year,” Laroche said of the airport, “but it’s not going to be something huge.” There are also other plans afoot at the airport designed to generate higher passenger volumes. “We’re working on looking to see if we can get a new route, but it’s too soon to say,” Laroche said, refferring to destinations that can be reached non-stop from Ottawa. Domestic travel is wellserved, and flights out of the Ottawa airport are landing in every provincial capital in Canada, he said, adding the authority is eyeing the addition of an international route or one that is trans-border, which would serve travellers heading to the U.S. Air travel numbers, which typically climb in the summer, will be a selling feature,
MINIMUM
as well as the fact that Ottawa’s high-tech business sector is looking for direct travel, Laroche said. “We have to have that sustainability and the airline has to be convinced that aircraft is going to be 75 per cent full,” he added. A “limited expansion” is also in the works, which may result in the addition of one or two gates, expanding the passenger screening area or changes to the check-in areas, Laroche said. The bulk of the work won’t begin until at least 2018. The authority will be cautious in its expansion plans. “It’s not ‘build it and they will come,’” he said. “Build it when they are there. We don’t want to grow to grow, because it won’t be sustainable.” AIRPORT LRT LINK
While the authority has been advocating that a lightrail spur be built to the air-
20
port as part of the expansion of the southbound Trillium LRT line, Laroche said it wouldn’t generate revenue for the airport. “If more people come to Ottawa, that would increase our growth, our revenues, but it will increase our expenses,” he said. “What it does is, it brings activity.” That’s why the provincial and federal governments need to step up and pay for the spur as part of the second phase of light rail, he said. “We’re going to have to be there sooner or later and we might as well do it when they do the Trillium line extension,” said Laroche. “It only becomes more expensive if you have to stage it twice.” The authority has said it would cover the cost to construct an LRT station at the airport, but not chip in for the rails. There are rules preventing it from doing this, but it also is just common sense, he said.
“You don’t want the air traveller to foot the bill of the mass transit system. They pay already for mass transit through their municipal taxes.” PARKWAY DELAYS
Laroche is also worried about delays in the widening of the Airport Parkway. “We were concerned and we’re going to watch it close because if it takes 40 minutes to get from downtown to here, well that’s a disincentive to use flying,” he said. “They may go to another airport (such as Montreal).” Both the parkway’s fourlane widening and the airport LRT connector are essential, and not just for the health of the airport. “I always worry about the connection to the downtown,” Laroche said. “It’s not critical for the airport. Its critical for Ottawa.”

On Saturday, May 7, Ford dealerships across the nation held their Drive 4UR School/Community fundraisers, doubling their efforts at the last minute to also support Fort McMurray relief. “At the 11th hour Ford decided to add the Fort McMurray part,” said Peter Kalil, manager of the business development centre at Manotick’s Dan Murphy Ford location, which participated in the fundraiser.

Right: Fort McMurray emergency workers get a boost of well wishes from the Metcalfe Fire Station 91, which sends well wishes from Ottawa to the firefighters battling the fire in the Alberta northern town. More support came from Manotick’s Dan Murphy Ford location during their Drive 4UR School/ Community event May 7.

Originally, Ford’s intent was to donate $20 to local charities for each test drive taken that day. In Ottawa, dealerships were set to work with area schools to raise funds for charities such as Me to We and Free the Children. However, with the need in Fort McMurray and other areas of Alberta growing rapidly by the hour, Ford decided to match each $20 donation to give to the Red Cross relief fund as well. Manotick’s Dan Murphy Ford was stationed at St. Mark Catholic High School between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., offering test drives on vehicles such as an F150, a Mustang, a Fusion, a Focus and an Escape. Despite the remote nature of the school, Kalil said the event saw between 28 and 30 test drives that day – raising around $640 each for Fort McMurray relief and Free the Children’s Dominican Republic Exposure program. “We’re very pleased with it,” Kalil said of the total, adding that every dollar counts.

Olympic equestrian hopefuls to compete in Ottawa Dressage Festival Megan DeLaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
It takes place on a longweekend, it promises horses and dogs, it’s free to attend. And this year, the Ottawa Dressage Festival will feature some of Canada’s top dressage riders as they compete to represent Canada at the 2016 Olympic Games. Dressage is an equestrian sport that puts horses and riders through their paces as they perform a series of dance-like movements testing the rider’s control of the horse before a panel of judges. It became an Olympic sport in 1912. This year, the annual festival’s judges will come from across Canada, Great Britain and Germany to judge riders from Canada, the United States and Central America at Wesley Clover Parks – formerly the national capital equestrian park – on Corkstown Road from May 19 to 22. “The whole show atmosphere I find really exciting,” said long-time organizer Paul
Teeple. “And it’s even more exciting this year when all those people are here.” As well as a chance to earn qualifying scores for the Summer Games, competitors can potentially qualify for other international and national dressage championships. In total, 150 riders are expected to compete over four days. Teeple has managed the show since National Capital Dressage was founded in 2003 to organize it, although he said high-level dressage competitions have been synonymous with the Nepean venue for decades. “There’s been that level of show there, either a high level national one or an international one, for at least 25 years,” he said. “A long time.” On average, Teeple said, the festival attracts between 300 and 500 people per day, though some individual events, like the May 19 Grand Prix Olympic qualifier, can attract those numbers alone. Since this year’s festival is the second-last – and the largest – Olympic qualifying com-

cided probably at this show.” Teeple said that even if the deciding test takes place at the June 17 festival in Cedar Valley, Ont. it’s very likely that the riders who represent Canada in Brazil will have competed in Ottawa’s festival. “Somebody at this show is going to the Olympics,” he said, listing Olympic veterans Belinda Trussell, Jacqueline Brooks, Brittany Fraser and Ashley Holzer, and 2015 Pan Am athletes Chris Von Martels and Megan Lane as the riders to watch. With dressage events spread out over four days, festival organizers also plan to entertain crowds with dog agility demonstrations and equestrian equipment and apparel vendors. According to Teeple, the festival’s team of 60 Ottawaarea volunteers are the key to helping it all run smoothly, and retired RCMP superintendent George Kaine is at the head of that team. Having learned horseback riding as part of his basic training, Kaine, 73, credits his love of riding, his inter-
est in volunteer work, and his friendship with Teeple for drawing him to National Capital Dressage in 2003. He has been a volunteer ever since. “Paul and I are friends and we ride together and I just sort of fell into it,” said Kaine, who lives in Orléans. “I enjoy volunteering, so this was another volunteer activity. It’s only once a year and I like horses and enjoy seeing the performances.” Kaine manages volunteers of diverse ages and backgrounds who, among other things, provide stable security for international horses, record judges’ observations about riders, and run results from the ring to the show office where they are read by an announcer. “They come from all walks of life,” Kaine said. “There are kids from high school that need volunteer hours, we’ve got professional people who work full-time jobs who just take time off from work to come help us, and we’re very grateful for their assistance in coming out.”
Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means: • 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

Hotel Communication Network snags major U.S. hotel business Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Need a wake-up call? How about room service? Want to know how to get to the pool? For guests staying in a number of San Francisco and Chicago hotels, those services and more are available right at their fingertips thanks to Canadian-developed tablet technology. An Ottawa company has become an instrumental innovator for some of America’s largest hotels by developing and providing in-room tablets, giving guests access to a full array of services. “It literally changes the way they (hotels) do business,” said Barry Brisco, chief operating officer and a founding partner of the Hotel Communication Network, located on 2460 Lancaster Rd. near the Canada Science and Technology Museum. The success of the company, which launched in 2009, can, in part, be credited to a $525,000 loan it has been receiving from the Federal Economic Develop-
Erin McCracken
Barry Brisco, president of the Hotel Communication Network, holds a tablet the company has programmed that is now offered in every room at several large-scale U.S. hotels. The tablet technology gives guests access to a full range of services available at the hotel and in the city, from wake-up calls to room service. ment Agency for Southern Ontario or FedDev Ontario. The funds, which began rolling out in April 2014, have aided in the creation of 20 full-time jobs, have helped maintain 16 jobs, and have allowed the company to raise more capital to the tune of more than $4 million from other Canadian investors since 2014. Providing companies
with financial assistance also allows them to better access global markets, said Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, who announced the funding on May 5 on behalf of Navdeep Bains, minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and minister responsible for FedDev Ontario. Bains previously said he wants Canada to become “a
nation of innovation,” McGuinty said. “We know that innovation is what helps create good quality jobs, a stronger economy for all Canadians and prosperity for Canadian families.” The dollars have allowed the company to hire enough staff to grow its hotel tablet network project. “It brought us to the point where we have worldclass hotels, some of the biggest hotels in the world coming to us asking us to install (in) their properties,” Brisco said.The company’s tablets are now installed in a number of large hotels, including the 1,650-room Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, the 1,900-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel and the 1,500room San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Another 6,000 tablets are in transit and will soon be installed in more hotels. “We will literally double our install base in the next three months and we’ll double again in the next six months,” said Brisco. While there are two or three other companies in the
phone apps, but Brisco said these are only reaching 10 to 15 per cent of guests. That means hotels must still rely on printed materials and other traditional ways of doing business, which results in an additional cost, said Brisco. One of the Ottawa company’s tablet apps allows guests to order food from about a dozen area restaurants. A bike courier is then dispatched to pick up the food order and deliver it in about 25 minutes. “They’re discontinuing room service in major full service hotels. Too expensive. They lose money,” Brisco said. And because the tablets are installed in each room and provide a single menu of all available amenities offered by the hotel and businesses in the city, about 80 per cent of hotel guests are using the technology. “This is not just about a tablet with pretty screens and choices for people,” Brisco said. “This is about 24/7 controlled maintenance and operations that keep “Our objective is to do the industry worldwide.”
world that also offer hotel tablet technology, the Hotel Communication Network has the advantage because it provides around-the-clock maintenance, said Brisco, adding company employees work on site in client hotels and Ottawa staff have the ability to serve and update the devices remotely. AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Each hotel room equipped with the tablets means guests have everything at their fingertips.The advantage for hotels is they don’t have to spend money publishing print materials for each room. The tablets also provide up-to-the-minute information on a wide array of services within the hotel and in the city, and the tablets can be updated to reflect new specials and promotions. Guests can also access the Internet via the tablets. “It’s an entirely new level of communications and service between the hotel and its guests,” Brisco said. Some hotels offer its service menu through smart-

V’s Cupcakes in Manotick takes up the Lyme Disease Challenge Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
Veronic Ayling owns and manages V’s Cupcakes in Manotick. She has been learning to live with Lyme Disease for the past several years. Her career in the Canadian Armed Forces was cut short as Lyme Disease overtook her. The much misunderstood life-changing condition has inspired Veronic to look for ways to raise awareness of the disease and it is her way to stand up to a condition, which make every day challenging. May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. V’s Cupcakes is hosting a fundraiser to help raise awareness about Lyme Disease. Veronic hopes to get physicians, who she feels are not always aware of Lyme Disease, to pay more attention to it. She also wants to encourage those with Lyme Disease to not give up. “I lost my career to Lyme disease,” said Ayling. “I came really close to losing my life.” Ayling suffered through two and a half
years of undiagnosed Lyme Disease before she was able to pin it down. As a result she has a heart condition that had her in a wheelchair just a month before her shop opened last year in Manotick. Her shop had been and is one of her lifetime dreams. The fundraiser, Called the Lyme Disease Challenge, takes place on Saturday, May 21 at V’s Cupcakes, located at 5556 Manotick Main St. Their phone number is 613-4912253.The fundraiser runs from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.. Ayling is inviting everyone to come to her shop and get their picture taken as they bite into a sour lime. All contestants will receive a sweet treat to calm their pallet. “All proceeds from this cause will go to those saddled with lifelong debt, loss of their homes and mounting medical bills – all from fighting a disease that is curable in the early stages with simple antibiotics,” said Ayling. This is the second year for the fundraiser. Last year it raised $1,500. This year Ottawa Mayor Watson has planned to attend the challenge.

Mental health wait times going under the knife at CHEO, Royal Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The roll-out of a new blueprint for change, now underway at CHEO, is designed to whittle the time children and youth spend languishing on a wait list for mental-health care in Ottawa from several months down to one. Staff training in the delivery of a new service model of care, known as the Choice and Partnership Approach or CAPA, was one of the first major steps implemented at the children’s hospital earlier this year. Next up was a wait list blitz in February that allowed staff to identify which of the 340 kids sitting on a wait list after being referred to CHEO’s centralized referral intake system still needed care. “That’s why the line keeps growing because no one is assessing what the family and the child actually needs and then streamlining them to where they need to go,” said Kathleen Pajer, chief of psychiatry at CHEO.
CAPA is changing that. Started in the UK
Under the model, which originated in the United Kingdom and is now in use across Nova Scotia, patient needs are better identified and matched with the right outpatient service. Before the blitz, kids were waiting nine months to a year for their first outpatient appointment. Over the next three years, the goal is for patients to wait no longer than four weeks for a choice appointment, during which they work with a clinician to problem-solve the issue impacting them most rather than focus on the diagnosis and spend hours being formally assessed. Perhaps a prescribed medication could be tweaked, a community agency could be suggested, maybe parenting courses would also help, and, based on the child’s need, another type of medical specialist at CHEO could be recommended for a few
sessions. It’s designed to give patients and families more of a say, develop goals and help design the right course of action through a multifaceted tailored approach. “Their engagement is critical in this,” Pajer said of the new collaborative partnership. “It puts them at the heart of what we’re doing for them rather than us dictating to them what they need,” said Christine Slepanki, the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s director of patient care for the Youth Psychiatry Program and the adult Mood and Anxiety Program. Faced with a growing wait list over the past few years, the Royal fully rolled out CAPA in late March in its program for teens ages 15-and-a-half to 18. Previously, a referred patient would wait for an appointment with a psychiatrist during which the patient would be assessed and services suggested. In January alone there were between 80 to 100 teens

Both hospitals are adopting a new system of care to improve patient access and reduce wait times. facing a wait of three to five months for an assessment appointment. Similar to CHEO, Royal patients under the CAPA model are now being seen by a clinician and asked what issues they want to work on. “It’s a very strengthbased, recovery-focused model,” Slepanki said. “Rather than coming in to

Patients will see a psychiatrist and be offered various

services, such as individual or group therapy. “It’s kind of the difference between going to a department store where it’s onestop shopping and having to go from one end of town to another to go to multiple stores, each of which specializes in one thing,” Pajer said.

A key component to CAPA is mapping out the available mental health-care services and matching them to the right patients based on their needs in order to provide more individualized and responsive care. “That’s the brilliance of CAPA,” Pajer said. “That means we’re agile, we’re an agile mental health-
care system. “We’re not just just stuck in ‘we’ve always provided this so we’ll keep continuing to provide it.’” If together during the choice appointment patients and their families decide upon treatment at CHEO or the Royal the goal is for them to wait no longer than four weeks for the next more in-depth appointment, known as a partnership appointment. That’s when the
treatment approach begins in earnest. The Royal isn’t stopping with its Youth Psychiatry Program. The hospital also recently began putting CAPA to work in its adult mentalhealth outpatient service in the mood and anxiety disorders program, where a range of conditions such as longterm depression and bipolar disorder are treated.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your tendency this week is to escape into your mind and imagination. While that’s fine for a little while, pretty soon you have to come back down to earth. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, people are pulling you in all sorts of directions this week. They each want you to share in their good times, but there’s only so much of you that can go around. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you generally like to keep your feet on the ground, this week you are looking to be a little adventurous. Let someone entice you into a whimsical journey. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a desire to bring more calm into your life could have you seeking out a vacation or just a respite from daily life. Take the time to unwind and you’ll come back recharged. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this week may prove to be a little intense, but you’ll muster the energy and strength to push on through. Balancing fun and some workrelated responsibilities is key. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Practicality seems to disappear when you have your mind on enjoyable activities, Virgo. Find a way to be both fun and practical and you will be set.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Well-laid plans are the cornerstone of a successful week, Libra. Everything will go smoothly, but most days should pass without a hitch. Enjoy the brief respite. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, expect a lot of action this week. There’s no slowing down as you check off each item on your to-do list. Others may have difficulty keeping up with you. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, live creative fantasies this week because you might not have another chance to indulge for a while. This is the break you have been seeking for some time. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Honesty is always the best policy, Capricorn. This will become obvious when a past untruth you shared comes back to haunt you. Confess now to save face. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You have the physical stamina to accomplish many things, Aquarius. This week is bound to be one with a lot of progress. Make a list now of what you want to accomplish. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, be patient with the people around you. You may be fast to grasp a concept, but it could take others a little while longer. 0519
