Council passed a review of the noise bylaws on May 24. Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said she would have liked to see a motion presented to the community and protective services committee aiming to reduce the hours of construction on Saturdays passed.
Noise bylaw changes all about the bass BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Changes to the city’s noise bylaw that will measure low frequency noise such as bass, were approved by council on May 24. The changes were a result of public consultation, with the city hosting four open houses. Thousands of residents also submitted their opinion online. River Coun. Riley Brockington was concerned about how bylaw officers would measure bass noise. Bylaw services manager Roger Chapman said vibrations are measurable and the city would be working with the Ottawa Festival Network concerning the changes. Chapman told the community and protective services committee on May
18 that he didn’t think venues and festivals have much to be concerned about. He said roughly 94 per cent of calls concerning bass were music in a private residence. For some, the review didn’t go far enough. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum tried to pass a motion at committee to delay the start time of construction from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Before the motion was even tabled, several councillors went to bat for the construction industry. Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said that she gets calls from residents almost daily concerning construction noise. McKenney said some residents are in tears when they call. “Especially in the case of last summer,” she said. “Jackhammers for months on end can be tough to take.”

Road services see cash infusion to deal with city’s potholes BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
A motion by Mayor Jim Watson will provide a muchneeded top-up for the road services budget this year, as record snowfalls, multiple freezethaw cycles, and other wacky weather patterns have created potholes everywhere. The motion was approval by council on May 24 and will see a $2.5-million infusion for road repair and another $400,000 added for pothole repair. Chair of the city’s transportation committee Coun. Keith Egli said there have been 148,000 potholes filled already this season. The money will come from

the city’s one-time unforeseen circumstance budget, Watson said. River Coun. Riley Brockington acknowledged the poor weather, but said he didn’t think it was totally to blame for the poor road conditions.
“Do we do an audit on the quality of asphalt?” he asked city staff. Planning manager Stephen Willis said there are a lot of factors that come into play when talking about a road that needs resurfacing. It could be the age of the road, the amount of traffic that uses that particular roadway, weather, and a number of other things that necessitate the need for repairs. Manager of road services Kevin Wylie said staff plan to use the extra cash to attack areas where there are clusters of potholes. “We will get crews to grind the area out and lay hot asphalt, it should be a more permanent solution,” he said.

Three additional Autism Spectrum Disorder classes will be added to Ottawa-Carleton District School Board schools this fall after 26 new referrals were received.
Three extra autism classes added for fall Public school board receives unexpected referrals By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Ottawa’s English public school board is adding three additional Autism Spectrum Disorder classes, starting in September. According to a board memo, 26 referrals have been received for this school year. Staff originally predicted just two additional classes. First Avenue Public School, Regina Street Public School and Longfields Davidson Heights intermediate school will each be getting an extra class. Board chair Shirley Seward said the number of students at the board requiring specialized programs is increasing and is tracked carefully so staff and trustees can understand why trends are occurring and the longterm implications. “Demand continues to grow,” Seward said, adding the quality of the board’s programs also brings in new students. “Unfortunately, we don’t have a crystal ball, so we can’t predict what’s going to happen in the future.” The board’s autism program isn’t the only one seeing unanticipated referrals. Seventeen have been received for the Behaviour Intervention program, for students who struggle with behaviour in regular classes. As a result, an extra class is required at Bells Corners Public School for primary and junior students.
Seward said this increase in referrals is not keeping pace with the increases for autism classes, but it’s something they are keeping an eye on, different resources. For September, there have also been 72 new referrals for the board’s gifted program. The board memo states that four existing classes had zero enrolment at three sites, providing the opportunity to reallocate staffing. Two primary English gifted classes will be reduced at First Avenue Public School, one junior early French immersion gifted class will be reduced at Hilson Avenue Public School and one will also be reduced at Henry Larsen Elementary School. The memo highlights that no students will be displaced from their current schools as a result of the changes. Seward said most of the changes can be accommodated within the existing budget by offset costs from lower demand for other classes. However, contingency funding for Autism Spectrum disorder classes will be required for educational assistants for the three new classes, according to the board document. The board will receive its budget on May 30 at the committee of the whole meeting. The budget must be approved by the end of June, and the staff has scheduled a final vote on the budget on June 26. Public delegations and committee questions are planned for June 5.

Student awards honour city’s best and brightest by jennifer mcintosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board honoured the leaders of tomorrow at the 12th annual Student Recognition Awards at the Centurion Conference Centre on May 18. Nepean High School principal Patrick McCarthy said the principals at each of the board’s 32 sites — including alternate schools and the adult high school — could pick one student to honour. It’s clear the student McCarthy nominated — Michael Dans — who raised more than $75,000 for the Canadian Cancer Foundation and who hopes to head to the University of Ottawa in the fall to study nursing, is worthy of the accolades. Not every recipient followed the traditional route, but it was clear they were blazing a path to bright futures. Mickey DiPietro, a student at Elizabeth Wyn Wood Secondary Alternate Program, is pursuing a career in plumbing after getting her diploma and participating in a dual credit program at Algonquin College. The 21-year-old Barrhaven native beamed with pride as she accepted the award. From fundraising for schools in Africa to gathering socks for people who use the Ottawa Mission, the work the students did to earn the award was as individual as the recipients. Jennifer Adams, the direcJennifer McIntosh/Metroland tor of education for the school Michael Dans, centre from Nepean High School, receives a Student Recognition Award, for his board, said the ceremony was work to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Foundation. The 12th annual Student Recognition about celebrating the leaders of Awards was held at the Centurion Conference Centre on May 18. tomorrow. Aspiring Artists Adams congratulated the parents, the teachers and people who supported the students.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Who has the last word?
I
t’s likely that many Ontarians breathed a sigh of relief when the provincial government announced its plan to scrap the Ontario Municipal Board. The OMB has often been perceived as too friendly to property developers. To many people, the board was quick to grab its rubber stamp and approve developments that didn’t fit with existing neighbourhoods. In theory, up until now, the City of Ottawa and other municipalities in Ontario decide what gets built within their borders. But decisions by city and town councils could be appealed to the OMB. Change is never easy to deal with – especially close to home – but appeals to the board have often seemed like bad movie sequels: predictable, but with unhappy endings. The running theme has been developers who ask for unappealing elements – think of massive towers and postage-stamp parks – and then settle for slightly less height and slightly larger greenspaces. Cynics have to ask if the developer asked for the moon in order to get approval for their
preferred design because it was slightly less awful than the original request. And in the background, the threat of an expensive OMB appeal kept city and town councils – and community groups – wary of holding back large-scale developments. A new, less-powerful Local Planning Appeal Tribunal will take the place of the OMB. It’s not clear how the tribunal will work, or what kind of teeth it may have. Will municipalities really be able to control their own growth? And what happens if a city or town council votes to stop all growth, or a council is filled with councillors who want highrises on every street? The face of Ontario cities and towns could be stunted (along with construction jobs) or rebuilt ad nauseam depending on the tribunal’s decisions. It’s clear there should be an appeal process if a property owner thinks a council has been unreasonable, but every case is different. Some development is OK, some doesn’t fit in. Who has the last word? We don’t know just yet.
Sens are winners even if nation does not embrace them
O
ur town is under attack from across the nation. Foolishly, we had dreams of our Senators becoming Canada’s Team, after other Canadian-based hockey teams such as the Toronto Maple Leafs fell by the wayside early. But we should have known. An Ottawa team could never be Canada’s team. Ottawa is the capital, for heaven’s sake. Bad things happens in capitals, according to those who don’t live in them, and even according to some who do. If you live elsewhere and you see “Ottawa” in a headline, it doesn’t mean our safe and beautiful city. It means the federal government. The odds are that at any given moment, about half of the people, if not more, don’t like the federal government and the word “Ottawa” is not likely to make them feel positive, even if it refers to a hockey team.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Mind you, it might be that nobody in this country of strong regional loyalties and rivalries could really be Canada’s team. Provinces and cities are jealous of each other, have always been. Given this, who could be Canada’s team. Toronto? Perhaps not. Montreal? Not as long as there are Torontonians. Vancouver? Maybe if it showed some interest in Canada. Edmonton couldn’t be Calgary’s team and Calgary couldn’t be Edmonton’s. That leaves Winnipeg, which could possibly be Canada’s team at some point, because nobody hates Winni-
peg, even if few visit it. Winnipeg has to get a better team, though, for it to be Canada’s. We have had that better team in Ottawa, but have not received the intense gratitude that we feel is our due. In addition to all the other negative stereotypes, we have had to fight the perception, gleefully fostered by our enemies, that we who live in the city don’t care about our team, don’t care about the Senators. Attendance figures have been cited in support of this argument. A couple of Senators home playoff games were not sold out, and people couldn’t wait to make much of that. Some plausible explanations have been presented, mostly by Ottawans. They have to do with the local economy, the location of the arena, competing events (hey, a big professional soccer game the same night as Game 6), jacked-up prices (even for parking!)

and antagonism on the part of some directed at the owner. But our enemies are not convinced. This wouldn’t happen in any other NHL city, they say, with no evidence presented to back that up. And then the old Ottawa stereotypes are trotted out. We are boring (and play boring hockey, say the folks from the cities that either didn’t make the playoffs or departed earlier). We are not a real hockey town (like, say, Phoenix). Worst of all, we are a government town, a designation that implies all manner of apathy and inertia, if not outright evil. All this because a few hundred people didn’t fight the traffic on a couple of nights. It is a mug’s game to get drawn into that argument.

Municipalities at forefront of battling climate change
T
his week, mayors and city councillors from across Canada will be gathering in Ottawa for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) annual trade show and conference. Although it may sound like a yawn to those outside the inner circle, it’s an important opportunity for Canada’s local leaders to connect and try to tackle some of the biggest issues that impact us as a nation. “It’s like speed dating for best practices,” says Windsor city councillor Irek Kusmierczyk, who is attending the four-day event at the Shaw Centre. Canada, like the rest of the world, is facing many challenges of urbanization. Within the next 20 years, it’s expected that 60 per cent of the world’s population will reside in cities, putting extra pressure on municipal leaders to answer the big questions about infrastructure, innovation and housing, things they’ve always dealt with – but also global
Nussbaum isn’t blowing hot air. In 2015, his proposal to transform St Laurent Avenue North from a fourlane roadway to a two-way traffic zone with dedicated bike lanes was initially deemed too expensive. But he’s not the kind of guy to sit around and wait for money to fall in his lap. He managed to get the job done overnight using black paint to cover existing lane lines and white paint to designate new dedicated bike zoning. He later applied this to certain areas of Beechwood and Hemlock Aves. The result has been a moderate slowdown of automobile traffic issues like climate change that, in the vulnerable to flooding and rising sea at peak times in these residential neighbourhoods east of downtown, past, have been left to other jurisdic- levels, requiring climate adaptation and a much safer, greener pedestrian investments.” tions of government.

Windsor’s Kusmierczyk says the flooding in Ottawa, Gatineau and elsewhere gives municipal leaders a timely opportunity to talk about their integral role in mitigating the effects of climate change at the local level. Last September, Windsor was slammed with massive flooding due to rainfall. “Our ward got hit with what was described as back-to-back 100 year storms,” says Kusmierczyk, who went door-to-door for 12 straight hours to talk one-on-one with his constituents. “They were devastated,” he says, noting it puts the onus on him and others he’ll meet this weekend to look at municipal development and zoning, even converting parks to serve dual roles as retention basins as colleagues in Toronto have done since the floods there in 2013. “We need to get real about flooding and severe weather patterns that are the norm,” says Kusmierczyk. “It’s the great challenge for Canadian cities.”

Staff Sgt. David Zackrias wins Public Hero Award at May 18 ceremony Ottawa police veteran immigrated to Canada with his family 30 years ago from India. “Imagine, a 15-year-old immigrant who came to Canada 30 years ago, who lived in emergency housing right beside a police station at the YMCA, and all he could do was dream to one day be in that uniform,” Zackrias said. “Those types of dreams only happen in Canada. “There are many unsung heroes within my organization that work tirelessly to build peace. We can’t all be here, but I’m going to dedicate this award to them.”

On the same day that a private member’s bill to create a national framework for first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder passed committee at second reading, six first responders from Ottawa and the Valley were recognized as public heroes. An Ottawa police staff sergeant, Ottawa paramedic, Ontario correctional services officer, Renfrew OPP constable, and two Ottawa firefighters were recognized for their dedication, altruism, and community involvement at a ceremony on May 18 at the Intercultural Dialogue Institute in Kanata. “We have heroes that walk among us every day,” B.C.’s Cariboo-Prince George MP Todd Doherty told the crowd. “They run toward danger … so that you and I and our families can sleep soundly.” Earlier that afternoon, Doherty’s private member’s bill C-211 was passed through standing committee. “We are well on our way to developing a national framework with respect to PTSD for our first responders, our military, our veterans, so that a hero in the east receives the same care and treatment that a hero in the west (receives) and that we do not unneces-

The Public Hero Awards are presented to recognize and honour the outstanding service provided by first responders in culturally diverse environments, as well as their volunteer efforts in their communities. Recipients are nominated by colleagues, peers, and
members of the community. Top police, paramedic, and fire officials presented the awards. Six first responders from Ottawa and the Valley received a Public Hero Award. OTTAWA POLICE
Ottawa police Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, who heads up the diversity and race relations section, spends much of his free time volunteering with a number of organizations.
“(He) is passionate about building strong intercommunity relationships, whether he’s on or off the job,” said police Chief Charles Bordeleau. Orléans resident Zackrias, who received a Peace Award from the Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution in 2016, sits on the boards for the Centretown Community Health and Ottawa Inuit Children’s centres, and volunteers as a conflict coach with Community Mediation Ottawa. The 19-year Toronto and
Robert Wilson has been an advanced-care paramedic for more than 23 years. The Stittsville resident works as an educator with the Paramedic Program of Eastern Ontario, teaches advanced care paramedicine at Algonquin College as well as first aid and CPR classes, and for the past 10 years has focused on the education of children and youth. “(Wilson) has created curriculum-specific presentations … related to health-based issues,” said deputy paramedic Chief Jeremy Doherty. “His current focus is on the opioid crisis facing Ottawa’s
youth and educating them with proper facts about these drugs.” Wilson said he was grateful to be recognized. “In our job, we deal with so many tragedies with youth and injury,” he said. “If I can through my public education and the education I provide to them reduce or save one life, my job is complete.” OPP
Renfrew OPP Const. Tina Hunt has been a tireless advocate, fundraiser, and volunteer in her community. The Horton Township resident “makes getting involved in her community a priority,” said Insp. Colin Slight, detachment commander for Renfrew. “From a young age, she has been involved with community volunteer work and continues to do so as much as her policing schedule will allow.” Hunt is the OPP auxiliary liaison officer, teaches the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in schools, raises thousands of dollars for multiple organizations, coaches sports teams, is a wife and mother of four children, and sits on the Township Recreation committee in Horton.

Councillor Comments By Jan Harder
Are you certain your fire alarms in your house have charged batteries and are working? How about your fire extinguisher(s)? Do you practice fire drills with your family? It is timely that the Ottawa Fire Service has issued its 2016 Year in Review and I wanted to highlight some of the interesting details from the report. The Ottawa Fire Service (OFS) provides fire protection for the City of Ottawa. With 45 stations spread across 2,796 square kilometres, our fire service services about 950,000 people. Clearly the OFS has a huge responsibility.
Jessica Cunha/Metroland
Six first responders from Ottawa and the Valley are recognized as public heroes during a ceremony at the Intercultural Dialogue Institute in Kanata on May 18.
Back in 2012, OFS started the long and involved process of becoming an accredited agency with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI). Accreditation with CFAI is a big deal; only 6 fire agencies in Canada have been able to achieve this recognition.
First responders receive Public Hero awards
The process of acquiring the accreditation required OFS to do a self assessment of the organization, planned growth, efficiency, and breadth of service they provide to Ottawa. This triggered the 2015 Station Location Study that resulted in an innovative, long-range plan until 2025.
“I truly love being involved in my community and the events that I host or assist with. When we talk about youth, youth really are our people of tomorrow, they’re the ones that are going to make a difference,” she said. “If we can teach them at a young age to get out there and get involved and make a difference, then they’ll continue on with that in their future.”
With regards to incidents the OFS responded to, there was an overall increase of 5% in 2016; an increase of fires by 2%. This resulted in a total of 67,470 vehicle responses to 24,002 incidents last year Camp FFIT (Female Firefighters in Training) continues to be a resounding success. OFS was the first fire service to begin a program like this, and now many fire services are seeking advice from OFS on how to start their own. The program which started in 2009, seeks to encourage young women between 15 and 19 to experience firsthand what it is like to be a firefighter. In that time, there have been more than 140 participants, many of whom have become volunteer firefighters or are in the process of gaining education and applying for other services. Some of the skills learned at the camp include auto extrication, search and rescue, use of hydrants, and methods to fight simulated kitchen and vehicle fires. In response to the dramatic increase in overdoses to the opioid Fentanyl in 2016, OFS will continue to train nearly 1,500 career and volunteer firefighters to use Naloxone, an opioid antidote in 2017. In 2016, the Public Education team participated in 1,175 public events. Among these were the “Wake Up: Get a Working Smoke Alarm” campaign to ensure that fire alarms are in installed in every household, and that they work because many fires occur at night when people are asleep. Additionally, with funding received from the City of Ottawa Older Adult Plan, 176 Smart Burners and 208 strobe smoke alarms were distributed and installed in social housing units to increase the safety of elderly residents. In December, the Public Education division launched a holiday safety Twitter campaign with “Sparkx”, the fire safety elf.

Greely and Westport resident Bill McCafferty, an officer at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, founded the Christmas
for Kids fundraiser five years ago. The program supports local families going through hardships and struggling during the holidays. He’s rallied the staff and management at the detention centre every year and collected thousands of dollars in gift cards for Christmas dinners and gifts for children. “Last year, they did fantastic and were able to help roughly 110 families and over 200 kids,” said Dave Ralph, IDI Public Heroes Awards co-ordinator and retired Toronto paramedic commander. McCafferty said the success of the program is thanks to his colleagues. “It is a big family and I’m just

one person. Without their help, we wouldn’t be able to do what we did last year, the previous five years,” he said. OTTAWA FIRE
There was a tie for the winner in the Ottawa firefighter category. Both Kendra Shaw, a non-uniform staff member, and firefighter Brenda Tirrel were recognized for their service. “I like to say they’re heroes because these are individuals that inspire us and make us a better organization,” said deputy fire chief Sean Tracey. Shaw, a Beckwith Township resident, on top of her regular duties has coached youth hockey, assisted at referee development camps, volunteers on the 9 Run Run committee, completed international Habitat for Humanity builds, is an avid blood donor (who also promotes the cause), and is an advocate and camp counsellor for Camp BUCKO, a children’s burn survivor camp. “I’ve often wondered what my purpose in life actually is,” said Shaw, adding her volunteering work helps to answer that question. “I’m very grateful to my fire leadership team for nominating me and most importantly for helping shine a spotlight on some causes that are very near and dear to my heart.” Stittsville resident and volunteer firefighter Brenda Tirrel, acting lieutenant at Station 81, is the founder of the 9 Run Run event, which raises funds and awareness for mental health. “Since its inception, 9 Run Run has raised over $130,000 for youth in the community,” said Doherty.
Tirrel, who recently received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers, is also the public education co-ordinator for District 8 and the “driving force” behind the FireSmart program, he said. And in June 2016, four months after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing surgery and 16 rounds of radiation, Tirrel completed the Tremblant Half Ironman competition. “It’s not how hard you fall down or how often but who’s there when you need a hand that really matters,” Tirrel said. “I believe I get to do what I do because of who is out there helping when I’m down.” Three other first responders were recognized with a plaque for their service: Ottawa paramedics Normand Robillard and Joe Micucci, and Hamid Mousa of Ottawa police. INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE INSTITUTE
The Intercultural Dialogue Institute, which hosts the awards, promotes understanding in culturally diverse communities. “They welcome the work our first responders do,” said Ralph, who became associated with IDI in 2009 before he retired as Toronto paramedic commander. “If we understand each others’ cultures and diversities, we can better work together to serve our communities,” he said. “Honouring public heroes — for their dedication, their altruism, the giving of their time … (and) delivering their services in a culturally diverse society — is a celebration for the people of IDI and it gives recognition to the people who have been nominated by their peers.”

Two tours to link city-dwellers with Ottawa’s countryside Continued from page 1
North Gower Grains’ large grain elevators will give tourgoers an idea of how much grain is grown in the Ottawa region. Bilingual and Englishonly tours on Aug. 19 will also include the Fallowfield Tree Farm in Stittsville where
participants will learn how to transform their lawns and town parks from a sunny field to a shady arbour with the aid of a large mechanical tree spade. Then it’s off to the Schouten Cornerview Farms in Richmond for a tour of an anaerobic digester that will showcase “cutting edge” recycling, the
city said in a statement. Velthius Farms, which is a Holstein farm in Osgoode, will also be part of the tour where visitors will get up close to milking cows. The bilingual tour is from 11:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. and the English-only tour is from 12:45 to 7 p.m. Tour shuttles will start out from OC Trans-
po’s Strandherd Park & Ride, located at 3680 Strandherd Dr. in Barrhaven. A “Secret Eats Tour — West Carleton-March” has also been added to the rural tourism showcase for August 20.
Visitors will have the opportunity to snack at four stops in the West Carleton-March Ward. Coun. Eli El-Chantiry will host that event. Tickets for both were expected to go on sale May 26 at
10 a.m. The cost of the farm tour is $80 plus tax and service charges, while the Secret Eats Tour is priced at $40, plus tax and service charges. They can be purchased online at ottawa2017.ca.

Mount up for Ottawa Horse Day Now in its fifth year, Ottawa Horse Day returns to Wesley Clover Parks on Saturday, June 3. The family-oriented event welcomes visitors of all ages to experience horses and ponies up close and to learn more about horse-related activities. The event opens at 11 a.m. and continues until 4 p.m. with equestrian demonstrations and activities scheduled throughout the day. Show jumping, dressage and eventing – the three Olympic equestrian disciplines – will be highlighted through exhibitions, along with the Canadian Pony Club’s Prince Philip Games, Parelli Natural Horsemanship demonstrations, a parade of breeds, polo exhibition, and much more. New to Ottawa Horse Day, the Ottawa Valley Ultimate Horse Group will combine fun and games in western tack through its cowboy obstacle race demonstration. Admission to Ottawa Horse Day is free, and parking is by donation. There will be horse-drawn wagon tours and kids zone activities such as pony rides, a bouncy castle and slide, glitter tattoos, and face painting available for a minimal charge. Wesley Clover Parks is located at 401 Corkstown Rd., just off the Moodie Drive exit of Highway 417. For more information on this year’s Ottawa Horse Day, visit www.wesleycloverparks.com.

Nepean mind reader teams up with Escape Room to offer seance BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Jaymes White, a Nepean native who has been on the stage for a decade will offer a seance this fall. Seances will be held in September and October. In 2016, all 60 seances sold out in four hours. White, who’s best known for his mind reading and hypnotism work, keeps audiences guessing with this new act. The show — not recommended for those with heart conditions because it’s so scary — is modelled after a Victorian-era seance and will be held at an as-yet-unknown location. The location, which White says can’t be named because of it’s dark history, will be revealed before the show. The aim is to keep the groups small, with an upper limit of 16 people. White, who has a degree in psychology and criminology, will be the first to tell you that what he does isn’t magic, but the mental equivalent of sleight of hand. White has been fascinated with magic since he was six. He started doing street performances at 12 and moved onto stage shows in his late teens and early 20s.
Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland
Jaymes White, a Nepean native, is teaming up with Escape Room to offer a Victorianera seance this fall. He was the star of a six-part miniseries called Mind Games on Rogers cable in 2013. The show is patterned after White’s own performance, called Paradox, which focuses mostly on mind reading and hypnotism, but each episode has a theme. White said passersby were often the fodder to showcase his talents. For more information about White’s upcoming shows, visit www.jaymeswhite.com.
Board starts process to find new trustee By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
The Catholic school board has started its search for candidates vying be the next trustee for the Kitchissippi and Bay area. The seat became vacant when Betty-Ann Kealey died on April 17. The board has 90 days to fill the position. With byelections estimated to cost the board more than $100,000, trustees unanimously agreed on the process. “We want as much money as possible going to the schools,” board chair Elaine McMahon said of the process. “A byelection is very expensive.” Candidates, who don’t need to be residents of the area, need to apply by 10 a.m. on June 5. The successful candidate will be chosen on June 20 and will serve on the board until Nov. 30, 2018. Applicants need to fill out a notice of application, and a declaration of qualification to apply. Eligible candidates will be selected for interviews by June 14. Then they will present to the board of trustees at a closed session of the committee of the whole on June 20. Each candidate will get five minutes and will be asked three questions. Once the board has made its decision, by secret ballot, they’ll announce their decision the same day in open session. “We’ll come out and make the announcement and give our reasons,” McMahon said. The process has been the option of choice for the board. It was followed 2012 when Katalin Sheskay, a two-term trustee with the board, died.
While McMahon wasn’t on the board at the time, she said the position received between 10 and 18 applications. The process was also used in 2014 when trustee Andrea Steenbakkers was elected the winner in Barrhaven Gloucester zone despite having withdrawn from the race. The board interviewed the two remaining candidates and appointed Spencer Warren. Based on that experience, the process is slightly changed. Warren answered the board’s questions in public, in front of other candidates, which McMahon acknowledged could be unnerving for the applicant. That’s why that portion of the process will now be behind closed doors, she said. McMahon said she’ll be looking for candidates with a commitment to Catholic education, an open mind and time to dedicate to the board and its schools. “My advice is to make sure you have the time to be committed to the board,” she said. She added the position is time-consuming, with board meetings twice monthly plus extra school visits and community events. “It would be nice to have someone who can be active in the community and approachable to the electorate because they have to answer to it.” She also wanted to remind candidates that they’ll be making decisions based on what’s good for the entire board, not just their area. There are five schools in Zone 7, including St. Rose of Lima, Dr. F.J. McDonald, Notre Dame, Our Lady of Fatima and St. George.

t wouldn’t be long. The school year would soon be over, and I was always amazed at how the entire school changed those last few weeks before the exams started, when we would know if we would be passed into the next grade. It was almost as if we were in church. Everyone was on his or her very best behaviour, as if our actions had as much to do with passing as doing well on our exams. Cecil gave up crunching his toes in his gum-rubbers, and moving his ears up and down on the side of his head. But Cecil was as smart as a whip, and there was no doubt he would pass into the next grade with flying colours. But he wasn’t taking any chances. Even bad Marguirite wasn’t floating around the classroom like a crazed bird. Yes, the whole school had settled down and every effort was made to have Miss
out, so that in itself added another level of fear. Everyone, including Miss Crosby, held the inspector in great awe. Weeks before exams started, Miss Crosby went over every last bit of teaching she had done in the entire year. We were drilled on spelling until the words danced in my head long after the exercise, and we even had an exam in penmanship. Crosby look on us kindly, in school work.

Dates, people and places that create our history. 1894: Future Prime Minister Arthur Meighen was born in Anderson, Ont., on June 16. Prime Minister John Thompson died in office Dec. 12 of the same year, and Conserva-
tive Mackenzie Bowell became prime minister following his death. In 1895, Prime Minister Bowell forced Manitoba to reinstate funding of Catholic schools, and at the same time the Yukon was created. John Diefenbaker was born in Neustadt, Ont., on Sept 18, 1896. The economic depression came to an end, Prime Minister Bowell stepped down as prime minister, and Conservative Charles Tupper became prime minister. However, Tupper was forced to call an immediate election and, despite a vigorous and aggressive campaign, he lost to Wilfrid Laurier. Tupper’s reign as prime minister was

As people get older, many begin to imagine the world after them. Will they be remembered? Will they leave, in the words of Buffy Sainte-Marie, “Something of lasting value beyond myself”? The Ottawa Humane Society shelter at 245 West Hunt Club Road is part of many people’s legacy. And saving lives is a part of many more. Each year, the kindness of people who remember the animals in their will allows the OHS to make major purchases such as emergency vehicles and surgical equipment that save lives and simply could not be afforded any other way. Their kindness allows the OHS to launch projects that will save animal lives in the future without risking the lives of animals that need us today. When people tell the OHS of their intention to remember the animals in their will, their kindness is honoured with a place in the OHS 1888 Legacy Giving Society. Their names appear on the OHS legacy wall, revealed at an induction ceremony held each spring. It is a solemn thank you. And the OHS hopes it is a reminder of the legacy that everyone present is leaving, a better life for animals and a kinder, more compassionate community, something of lasting value beyond themselves.

Wild Bird Care Centre launches campaign BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Window collisions, cats and ‘birdnapping’ are among three biggest issues threatening to overwhelm the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre (WBCC) again this spring. With the first influx of birds already arriving, the WBCC worries it could be the beginning of another near-record year for bird admissions. In 2016, the centre received nearly 3,300 sick, injured and orphaned birds — about 30 per cent more than in 2015. So far this year, more than 500 birds have been brought to the centre — already 50 more than last year. About one-third of patients are victims of window collisions, cat attacks and wellintentioned Good Samaritans who rescue baby birds that do not need saving. WBCC board chair Debbie Lawes warns this escalating number of preventable injuries and rescues will continue to challenge the centre’s sustainability. “Last year was a tough one for us. We haven’t seen admissions that high since the West Nile virus outbreak more than
15 years ago,” says Lawes. “Our staff and volunteers work above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we never turn away a bird in need, but these numbers are exceeding our limited funding and resources.” In response, the region’s only wild bird rehabilitation centre has launched its first-ever Avian Ambassadors campaign. “Our goal is for 1,200 caring residents to donate just $25 each to reach our fundraising target of $30,000, which will help us care for the more than 1,300 young birds we expect to receive over the coming weeks,” says Lawes. As part of its campaign, the WBCC is also educating residents on what they can do to reduce bird injuries and prevent birds from becoming unnecessarily orphaned. “The most important thing to do if you find a baby bird is to make certain it is truly an orphan before intervening,” says Mireille Goguen, executive director of the WBCC. “If a young bird is fully feathered, alert, able to walk or hop, and can perch on low branches, please leave it alone. It is normal for parents to leave their young alone for periods of time
as they search for food and care for other fledglings.” However, this rule doesn’t apply to waterfowl like baby ducks and geese, which Goguen says “should never be left alone.” “Birds will not abandon their young if touched by humans,” adds Goguen. “In most cases, you can assume the parents are close by, and will respond and help when they hear their baby calling. Remember, baby birds have the best possible chance of survival with their parents.” To donate to our Avian Ambassador’s spring campaign, visit the fundraising page at http://wildbirdcarecentre.org/ rehabbirds.html. The public can also donate much-needed items like food and other supplies. A wish list is available at: www.wildbirdcarecentre.org. Founded in 1981, the Wild Bird Care Centre assesses, treats and rehabilitates injured, ill or orphaned wild birds for the purpose of releasing them back into their natural habitat. The centre provides information on bird intervention, safe handling techniques and avian injury prevention, and educates people about the natural history, conservation and rehabilitation of wild birds.
