It’s time for the nautical play structure in Andrew Haydon Park to be renewed. And the city is looking for input on the theme and design for the upper playground, which can be seen from Carling Avenue. “I took my kids there, my two daughters who are 22 and 15 now,� said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, adding it’s the same play structure they used when they were toddlers. “It’s at least 20 years old, barring the odd individual feature that may have been replaced when it was broken.� The park was inherited from Nepean in the west end, near the Nepean Sailing Club.

It’s what Taylor calls a regional destination park. There are a number of different structures in the park, including the Nepean Kiwanis Bandshell. The two different options for the play structure renewal include a marine theme and one called shipshape. Shipshape includes a big ship for the playground structure. The marine theme includes a junior structure that’s a smaller ship and also a whale-shaped climber. “The play structure in there has just become old and worn and tired and there’s some pieces we had to decommission because they were splintering and stuff like that, so it’s time for new,” he said. Taylor said he has a favourite, but ultimately just wants to see families using the park. “I’m most anxious to see the thing renewed and see kids playing on it again,” he said. The current structure will remain this spring and summer and work is scheduled for around October and November, depending on the weather. City staff will make a decision on what to tender this spring, but some design tweaks could be made through the summer, Taylor said. The budget for the project is $365,000. The price includes testing, inspection, consultation and construction costs. “By spring of next year, kids will be able

The city is looking for feedback on two design concepts for the Andrew Haydon Park’s play structure renewal. Comments are due by March 13. to play on the new stuff.” Taylor said comments on the project have been slow to trickle in, but he expects people from across the city will want to have their say. “It’s fairly early in the process.

The facility will include an examination room and large supercooled vats filled with liquid nitrogen to house tissue samples and genetic material. Graham added this facility would put the museum on par with other world-renowned museum and research facility’s such as the Smithsonian. Beckel said the post-doctoral funding will allow for the museum to mentor the next generation of scientists and that by being able to digitize the arctic specimens, researchers from all over the world will be able to study the collection all by simply going online.

Over the years, Ross said when he returns to the city he always makes a point to stop by. “This is something the Ottawa community should be proud of,” Ross said. As a thank you, the museum presented Ross and his family with a framed photograph of a new species of beetle, known as the weevil. New to science, the museum’s entomologist Bob Anderson named the new species Sicoderus beatyi in the family’s honour. Ross said he was ecstatic about having a weevil named after him. “This is very cool and as fun a gift you could get,” Ross said.

The facility is expected to open next summer. • $1 million will create the Beaty post-doctoral fellowship on species at risk, the fellowship is expected to begin in the spring of 2018. • $1 million will support a program to digitize the museum’s extensive collection of Arctic specimens. All three initiatives will be based out of the museum’s national research and collections facility, the Natural Heritage Campus, in Gatineau, Que.

Police charge ‘prolific’ offenders in spree Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Ottawa police have laid more than 50 charges after making arrests in a long list of robberies at gas stations and convenience stores that da te back to December. The men have been charged with offences stemming from 23 robberies. Police Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch said the two accused are among the most prolific in the region. “These were significant arrests,” Haarbosch said. “I don’t know that I recall anyone locally being charged with this many robberies at the same time. Certainly, it’s one of our most prolific offenders in recent history.” Up to March 2, police have
been busy investigating 42 business robberies. Last year at this time there were 28. “Our retail robberies were up year to date fairly significantly and we’ve seen now, after these arrests were made, as well as a couple of other arrests, unrelated, our retail robberies have dropped right off since.” The two men, 25 and 26, both of Ottawa, were arrested after two robberies on Feb. 21. The first robbery was in the 400 block of Moodie Drive and the second was in the 1800 block of Robertson Road. The men were located in a vehicle before midnight and one suspect was arrested following a vehicle and foot pursuit, while the second was arrested in the vehicle. Initially, the men were charged with two counts of
robbery and two counts of conspiracy. The 26-year-old has been charged with failure to stop for police, 20 counts of robbery, 20 counts of wearing a disguise, four counts of conspiracy and two counts of attempt to commit an indictable offence. The 25-year-old man faces three counts of robbery, five counts of wearing a disguise, two counts of conspiracy and one count of attempt to commit an indictable robbery. There were as many as five robberies in one night in February. Haarbosch said that is likely because gas stations and convenience stores, which are targeted because they are open 24-7, don’t keep large amounts of cash in the registers. “The number of robberies you see is also a function of
that, that it took maybe five robberies in one night to obtain the cash that was necessary for whatever they were using it for,” he said. The men were demanding cash and in some cases took some lottery tickets, no weapons were shown and there’s no gang connection. No one was injured in any of the robberies. Haarbosch said the men were known to police. The locations hit were on Hazeldean Road, Merivale Road, Woodroffe Avenue, Carling Avenue, Strandherd Drive, Richmond Road and Iris Street. Haarbosch said each of the locations provided decent quality surveillance video, which helped police link the suspects to the robbery spree. Police also received help from the public.

Drug testing can save lives
N
ever have we known such gargantuan problems due to something so small. Fentanyl is a strong opioid – 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Minuscule doses of the drug can kill. On Feb. 27, the city’s deputy police chief told a Kanata audience that enforcement will not keep the scourge of fentanyl from our streets. When thousands of doses of a drug can be imported in a single envelope, complete eradication is beyond any agency. But all is not lost, and we don’t have to throw our hands up in the air and simply hope no one else dies from an overdose of opioids. We do have some tools available to reduce the harm. Education is job one. The people most at risk need to know that any drug that they buy from illicit sources may contain opioids like fentanyl. One dose can kill. A few doses can create an addiction, even if the user has no idea there is fentanyl mixed into their counterfeit pills or powders. That message should reach everyone in the city, starting with children. The school boards are clearly redoubling their efforts to make sure students know the risks. Secondly, naloxone – the medication that can reverse an opioid overdose – should be made as
widely available as possible. The city plans to have doses in every fire and police vehicle. The province has made naloxone freely available. If someone still chooses to consume a drug – and that would be a bad decision – we can make the outcome less risky if allow them to test their drugs for fentanyl. Test kits exist. If one of our levels of government makes them available to would-be drug users, those people can find out if there is fentanyl in a drug they have purchased. A user who sees a positive result for fentanyl can avoid potential death or addiction. And at the same time, they learn that the person who sold them that pill or powder cannot be trusted. Drug testing like this has been offered at some concert festivals in the past, and it is controversial. Some will say testing condones or encourages drug use. But which is better: 1,000 people use drugs at a festival and one dies, or 1,000-plus people use drugs at a festival and no one dies? That’s the crux of harm reduction. It’s why we provide free needles to IV drug addicts. It’s what the Insite safe-injection site in Vancouver does. It simply saves lives. Drug-testing kits have potential. They should be part of the discussion.

Parents gather around an Ottawa paramedic to hear about naloxone, a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. People packed a meeting room at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Feb. 27 to hear from a panel about the abuse of fentanyl and other opioids amongst Ottawa’s youth.

Ottawans are trying to come to grips with a wave of opioid abuse — and the resulting addictions and deaths. A Feb. 27 public meeting in Kanata drew a standingroom-only crowd of parents seeking information, as well as parents who have lost children to drugs. Others said they have
children who are addicted to illegal drugs but have struggled to find space in treatment programs. Opioids may come in prescription form or be made or imported illegally. Recently, Ottawa police say fentanyl has been added to other illegal drugs, meaning drug users may be taking this dangerous opioid without knowing it. One dose may contain a fatal
amount of the drug. All opioids can cause an overdose; fentanyl is even riskier because it is 50 to 100 times more powerful than the basic opioid, morphine. The Kanata Recreation Complex’s concourse was turned into an education zone for parents at the meeting. See OPIOID, page 11

Opioid use growing: deputy police chief Continued from page 1
In a space where hockey parents usually watch their kids play on the ice surfaces below, a pharmacist explained how to inject naloxone into someone who is suffering an overdose of opioids: loading a needle, seeking a large muscle, and doing CPR. Representatives of local school boards attended the meeting, pledging more education for students about the risks or fentanyl or other illegal drugs which could contain fentanyl. “We need to get kids talking with each other (about the risks),” said public board trustee Donna Blackburn prior to the meeting. “At this point, one mistake can take a life.” Blackburn said the public school board will likely consider whether naloxone should be made available in schools. DISCONNECT
Some speakers described frustrating experiences dealing with the health-care system when they tried to get treatment for a child. One man said he took his son to two hospitals, a treatment centre — which was full — and
the offices of his MP and MPP, without success. He said his son is now dead. Another parent said his family doctor provided a letter to get his daughter admitted to a hospital to see a psychologist, only to be informed no psychologist was available when they arrived at a hospital emergency room. “It’s like they’ve never done this before,” the father said. Cal Martell is acting CEO of eastern Ontario’s health network, the umbrella organization for the area’s hospitals. He said there can sometimes be a disconnect between agencies, and said anyone can contact Ottawa Addictions Access and Referral Services at 613-241-5202 or navigator1@mri.ca if they need help navigating the health-care system. Martell faced some outbursts from a number of people who questioned him about the limited amount of space in facilities that care for people with addictions. When he said the health network, known as the LHIN, “has added expertise,” and “is growing capacity,” at the Royal Mental Health Centre, he was interrupted by audience members who questioned why the Royal
is adding psychologists after cutting addictions counsellors. Martell said both psychologists and counsellors are needed, and agreed “We need more capacity.” Ottawa police Deputy Chief Steven Bell said counterfeit fentanyl pills are appearing in Ottawa, and that it is also being added to other drugs. Because it is added in powder form, the pills that are produced don’t have uniform doses. “You’re playing Russian roulette every time you take one,” Bell said. Bell added that opioid is affecting all parts of the city, and users may be any age or part of any demographic. Anthony Di Monte is manager of the city’s emergency and protective services, which includes the paramedic service. He said it’s impossible to say how widespread opioid abuse could become. “We don’t know how big the bottom of the iceberg is,” Di Monte said. He said the number of calls related to opioid use is growing. In response, the city has placed naloxone kits in all fire department vehicles, and there are
plans to have them in police cars. Dr. Isra Levy, medical officer of health, encouraged parents to discuss problems they experience and potential solutions. “I wish I had the answers,” Levy said, adding that youth-led
health campaigns have proved effective, especially in fighting tobacco use. “We need to hear your ideas,” he told the audience. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson wrapped up the question-and-answer session. “There’s a lot of hurt in this room,” Wilkinson said. She encouraged people to continue talking about the opioid issue.

City consultation draws questions about LRT details Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
At a city hall public information session on the second stage of the light rail plan, residents peppered staff with questions ranging from the 16-month shut down of the Trillium Line to the need for more public consultation. “Why does the city want to rush through this process? What is the big urgency? We need more consultations, especially in the west end,” one resident Anna Bevilacqua asked on Facebook. Coun. Stephen Blais, chair of the city’s transportation commission, said the city has held more than two dozen public consultations. The March 1 meeting was hosted following the finance and economic development committee’s approval of the project’s procurement process on Feb. 24. Council will have the final say on March 8. In the Champlain room at city hall, about 35 people came to listen to Chris Swail, director of Stage 2, give a 45-minute presentation about the changes planned for that stage. Changes include stretching the line west to Moodie, east to Trim and also to the city’s airport. The total project will cost more than $3 billion.
At a satellite location in the city’s south end, about 35 people gathered at the Hunt ClubRiverside Park Community Centre, for the consultation, which was hosted by south-end councillors. Swail said that the project is on an aggressive schedule and in order to keep it on track, the city needs to move forward. He also pointed to the 27 public meetings held about the project. There will be more meetings, but those will be confined to an environmental assessment amendment for a proposed maintenance and storage facility near Moodie station. eight locations
The city has identified eight potential locations. However, the National Capital Commission will have to approve any location on their land. Swail said as many as five of those proposed locations have been struck down by the commission already. “We’ll end up with three that we’ll go out and talk to the public about,” he said. If an appropriate location can’t be found, that facility will have to wait until the line gets extended to Kanata. The move to go to Moodie was applauded by Bill Fenton, a member of the Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association.
“It’s a great decision to go to Moodie,” he said. Following the meeting, he added, “The access to recreation and the greenbelt just brings the whole city together.” According to GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, many people at the satellite location were concerned about the proposed 16-month closure of the O-Train. Previously, said Swail, the city was proposing two consecutive summer shutdowns of the line. That information only came out on Feb. 17 during the technical briefing and for the new plan. Swail said the rationale is tied to not just extending the line, but also enhancing it. “We’re hearing from people because it’s new,” he said of the plan to stop operations for a year and four months. “We want to have a train that actually runs on a schedule.” The shutdown also has a lot to do with the procurement plan. Whoever is chosen for the project will be responsible for the quality of the overall system. “In order to improve the quality of the overall system, we simply need more time to ensure ourselves that we are giving the people bidding on the job the time required to do all that additional work.”

At our February 13th Board of Health meeting, I asked my Ottawa Public Health colleagues to bring forward a strategy for Ottawa outlining what steps we can take at the municipal level to limit the marketing of sugar based products to our kids. The Heart and Stroke Foundation recently released a report, “Report on Health of Canadians – The Kids Are Not Alright” and the results are alarming. As a city, I believe we have a role to play in ensuring we promote healthy eating and safe food options for Ottawa residents, especially children.
Upcoming events Please keep an eye out for upcoming community consultations on the Stage 2 LRT extension from Bayshore to Moodie Drive and a consultation on the Bayshore Field House.

God played big role in family life back in the ‘30s www.ottawacommunitynews.ca
I
t wasn’t as if Emerson had done some dastardly deed like stealing money out of the sugar bowl, but what he did earned him a sound cuff on the ear from Mother. What he did was say, “God, I sure would like a real hockey stick, instead of the one Father made out of a piece of wood.” It wasn’t that wanting the hockey stick got him into trouble; it was saying “God” outside of praying. It was a sin to take God’s name in vain, and Mother wouldn’t tolerate it, and that’s all there was to it. Mother didn’t say a word. She didn’t have to. The cuff on the ear said it all. And yet, it seemed to me, as I watched Emerson take his punishment, that adults were forgiven for taking the Lord’s name in vain. Father never quite got the word God out. He would say, “by gad,” which to me was too close to the actual word for comfort. And as I sat and thought about all the ways God’s name was worked into everyday conversations, I had a very hard time figuring out what was right and what was wrong — and then there were the times when it seemed perfectly normal. Mother had a host of sayings all relating to God’s mercy, such as the time
MARY COOK Memories
old Granny Hines died. Mother clutched her breast with her right hand, then made the sign of the cross, and in a solemn voice said, “God rest her weary soul.” I had a hard time figuring out how Granny’s soul was going to rest if she was
some doubt in her mind as to where we would all be in a few days hence. Hardly a day went by that Mother didn’t say, “Only God knows,” used when she couldn’t come up with a reason or something had been mislaid. But, what
For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why God would object to our going anywhere already dead. God figured prominently in just about everything we did, I figured. And we never planned a trip into Renfrew without Mother saying, “God willing.” For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why God would object to our going anywhere. And “if God favours” was another of Mother’s favourite expressions, or “if God allows,” as if there was
terrified me the most was when a neighbour came to visit who was said to be the biggest gossip in the county. She was an enormous woman, and when she was telling a story — usually one hard to believe — she would clutch her chest and say, “If that isn’t the truth, may God strike me dead.” Well, that sent chills right up my back. And I would pray silently that what she said was the gospel truth. I
wasn’t as concerned about her expiring as I was about how we would get her out of the house. Certainly, no one could lift her. And I had visions of Father bringing the stoneboat up to the back door, and with the help of my three brothers, rolling her across the kitchen floor, and out the back door and onto the stoneboat. When I talked to my older and much wiser sister Audrey about the God issue, and asked why Mother called upon Him so often, she said it had everything to do with what she called an abiding faith. “Faith” I knew. “Abiding” was a new word for me, and I looked it up in my little red dictionary and found it meant enduring and lasting, and it was then I knew why Mother so often worked God’s name into whatever she was saying. It was simply because back then, when every day was a struggle to make ends meet, we certainly needed God to survive from one day to the next. Audrey said His mercy was enduring and lasting, and that made perfect sense to me. Back then, there wasn’t too much we could depend on. So, it wasn’t hard to understand why God was called upon so often. We needed all the help we could get.

150 years: the History of Canada Royal Canadian Legion Bells Corners Branch # 593
Week Seven: Carrying on with Canada’s History, we learn that in 1875, Louie Riel was granted amnesty by Parliament with the condition that he be banished from Canada for five years. Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie established the Supreme Court of Canada, and Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated the first functioning telephone in Boston in June 1875. Jennie Trout became the first female licensed to practice medicine, and Grace Lockhart graduated from Mount Allison University with the first Bachelor of Art degree awarded a female, an exciting year for all. 1876: The Intercolonial Railway was completed, linking the Maritimes with Central Canada. The Pacific Line, which united the new nation,
was soon begun. The world’s first long-distance telephone call took place on Aug. 10, 1876, connecting Alexander Graham Bell’s home in Brantford, Ont., with a book store in nearby Paris, Ont. Meanwhile, the Toronto Women’s Literary Club, which was actually a front for the women’s suffrage movement, was founded.

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 You may find yourself teetering between responsibilities to work, friends and even family. It’s possible you will need to set aside some time to play catch-up in the coming days. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Listen before you make assumptions, Taurus. Resist any temptation to wildly post or chat about personal information. You might regret it later on. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Finances are your main priority this week, Gemini. Whether you have a lot in savings or are floundering paycheck to paycheck, it is time to reassess your financial situation. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if things are stressful at home, it may be necessary to step away for some breathing room. Book a vacation so everyone can unwind and recharge. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Take a deep breath and try to relax, Leo. You have been operating on overdrive for some time now and you’re just about out of gas. Book that vacation, pronto. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 A promising collaboration may be on the horizon, Virgo. This could prove interesting and also propel a hobby or your career a bit further than you had anticipated.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, newfound success earns you the recognition you deserve. It could mean a promotion to a corner office or even the opportunity to enjoy a new, more lucrative job elsewhere.

Seal the deal however you choose. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, the key to landing on your feet is to always expect the curveballs that will be thrown your way. This way you are always on your toes and can adapt quickly. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Now is a good time to declutter your life, Aquarius. Start sorting through your belongings, then move on to any emotional baggage you’ve been carrying. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 This week is ripe for love, Pisces.
