Algonquin College and HealthCareCAN team up Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com

HealthCareCAN and Algonquin College announced Aug. 17 a multi-level agreement for the delivery of health-science and health related online professional development programs. According to the college, the partnership will allow them to broaden the school’s program offerings to adults working in the health care sector who want to upgrade their skills. As of Sept. 1, students enrolled in the health information management and food service and nutrition management programs will be working toward certificates of achievement that will be awarded by both the college and HealthCareCAN.

“One of our strategic mandates is strengthened partnerships with both alumni and employers,” said Cheryl Jensen, president of Algonquin College. “Our new relationship with HealthCareCAN and its professional development division, CHA Learning, is important to doing both.” The agreement marks the first step in the multi-level plan. Both partners will explore the development of more health-related training, collaboration on applied research and funding opportunities, and having a learning pathway that connects HealthCareCAN courses and the college’s programming, both credit and non-credit. Students looking for more information on this collaboration can visit algonquincollege. com.

We must help Mother Nature

ne cost $3.5 million. One was free. One was spectacular, attracting 750,000 onlookers in Ottawa. The other was awesome, attracting millions in North America. One was manmade, the product of human technology. The other was Mother Nature-made, the result of this marvellous solar system of ours. We are referring to, on the one hand, La Machine, the French street theatre production featuring two huge streetwalking creatures, a horse-dragon and a giant spider. They were even given names — Long Ma and Kumo. It took 34 manipulators to guide this spider and dragon-horse through the streets of the Byward Market and beyond. Their four-day sojourn here in late July cost $3.5 million from the Ottawa 2017 coffers. And, on the other hand, there is the solar eclipse which captured the attention and imagination of not only Ottawa residents, but people all across North America on Monday, Aug. 21. It attracted widespread interest, being broadcast on television and certainly talked about in workplace and

home venues everywhere. You had folks making pinhole viewing devices and getting together with workplace buddies to experience the eclipse. Y ou had 5,000 flocking to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum to latch onto a pair of safety solar glasses, allowing them to look directly at the eclipse or to peer through telescopes set up by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. To have two such spectacular happenings take place within weeks of each other has been a treat that may become the best remembered of the Canada 150 events taking place in Ottawa this year. One showed the ingenuity of man. T he other showed the ingenuity of Mother Nature. Going forward, we can only hope that the ingenuity of man as shown with Long Ma and Kumo will be deployed and used to save this incredible world of ours and allow Mother Nature to continue to amaze us on a daily basis, not just at times of eclipses. The planet is under stress these days due to human excesses and pollution. The resulting climate change has to be reversed or else.

No such thing as gifted students anymore

ast fall, parents in the OttawaCarleton District School Board were outraged when the board determined it may eliminate some gifted programming. In place of specialized classes — particularly at the primary level — it was determined that it would be more cost-effective to incorporate those identified early as gifted into the regular classroom with extra learning support teachers and programs. It was a political hot potato. Advocates of gifted programs expressed outrage at the decision, declaring that their young prodigies were not just intellectually, but socially disparate from their peers. It has been the predominant sentiment for decades that gifted children, as with others identified with special needs, thrive best in segregated classrooms with a curriculum that is independently tailored to their abilities.

What kind of message does it send to young children to pick them out from the pack at a young age and put them on a pedestal of learning next to their peers? The authors instead advocate for teaching in the classroom that regularly conditions and challenges all students to learn at their level of potential, which, short of cognitive impairment, is likely high. It’s difficult to say whether this will work in practice. But the last decade of brain research has flipped everything we know about learning on its head.

NCC doesn’t have the cash to keep up with asset maintenance By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Without more money, the National Capital Commission won’t be able to keep up with its aging assets. A special examination of the NCC by the auditor general, released on Aug. 24, says that more than a quarter (27 per cent) of the corporation’s assets were in fair, poor or critical condition. Without more money, the “assets could cause health and safety issues,” it says. It’s not the first time the commission’s asset management has been highlighted. In 2007, during the last special examination, the auditor general found “projects required to restore the corpo-

ration’s assets were not always completed within the planned time frames, partly because of a lack of funding.” In this year’s report it says, “the corporation continued to have a risk of insufficient resources to restore, maintain, and preserve its assets at an acceptable level.” Nicholas Galletti, director of strategic media for the NCC, said the commission’s capital budget is $22.7 million. The replacement value of the NCC’s assets is about $1.7 billion. “We take this seriously and will work with the government to address this funding shortfall in the coming months,” Galletti said during a conference call. “When it comes to the in-

frastructure we maintain, it’s our most important priority.” It’s too early to say how much is needed to address the infrastructure deficit, he added. The NCC undertook a review of each of its assets over the past year and has hired a third-party consultant to look at that analysis. The results of that study should be available this fall. “It’s going to take more than one year. It’s going to take five to 10 years to take all of our assets up to a condition where we consider it sustainable,” Galletti said. The auditor general’s report labels the NCC’s asset maintenance as a significant deficiency.

City staff are developing a new bylaw to regulate site alteration and are looking for your input online. This new bylaw will replace the existing Drainage bylaw and the former municipalities’ topsoil protection bylaws. Its goal is to prevent drainage problems, protect the productivity of soils in designated Agricultural Resource Areas, protect designated natural areas, reduce risk of root damage to City-owned trees, and establish a basic set of rules for future site alteration. Residents can submit their comments by emailing planning@ottawa.ca or calling 613-580-2459 until September 25th. The draft bylaw, along with more detailed information is also available at ottawa.ca.

GLAD Cleaning the Capital Early bird registration is now open for the City’s GLAD Cleaning the Capital Fall Campaign. This city-wide event, which runs from September 15th to October 15th brings together people from all around the city to keep Ottawa clean. Last year the project brought in over 50,000 kilograms of garbage, making it a huge success. Volunteers who register their clean up project before September 14th have a chance to win one of the many prizes donated by sponsors. This is a great opportunity for family and friends to get together and work on their own customized cleanup project. To register you can visit ottawa.ca/clean or call 3-1-1, where you will select a location for your cleanup.

Some of the assets identified as needing repairs included that heritage house on Sussex Drive, other heritage buildings, bridges, parkways and shorelines. Galletti specifically referenced much needed resurfacing of the Portage Bridge, culverts in Gatineau Park, pathways throughout the Greenbelt, Nepean Point and the New Edinburgh Yacht Club. He also said about 75 per cent of the NCC’s roads haven’t received significant investment since the 1980s. The NCC’s primary source of funding for its mandate — to develop conserve and improve the national capital region — comes from the federal government. It owns and manages more than 500 square kilometres of land and more than 1,700 properties. The report notes that the NCC’s main strategy of mitigating risk was to put off lower priority work, but they also tried to implement some revenue-generating and cost reduction initiatives, such as automated parking systems and cost sharing — without significant results. “These strategies, while they have allowed us to offer our wonderful assets in a great state, they haven’t been enough to address this infrastructure deficit,” Galletti said. According to the NCC, it hasn’t received any increases in funding since the 2009-10 fiscal year, other than for specific purposes. Since 2013, its capital budget has been reduced by $6 million because of government budget cuts and a mandate shift, moving some responsibilities, like Winterlude, to Canadian Heritage. In a statement, the NCC says it will work with the government to address the significant infrastructure deficiency. “The National Capital Commission welcomes the recommendations of the office of the auditor general. We look forward to working with the government of Canada to invest in federal infrastructure in the capital region so that it remains a source of pride for residents and visitors in the coming decades,” Mark Kristmanson, chief executive officer of the NCC said in the statement. The special examination, completed by the auditor general every 10 years, also revealed the commission has otherwise good management practices and suggested it create a risk management framework to set acceptable levels of risk, and to inform the board of directors’ decision-making.

Of those, three are fighting the wildfires in British Columbia. “We’re proud to say we were able to give them that boost because this is quite a rewarding profession and quite a noble profession that they can be involved All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, in,” he said at the training centre 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. on Aug. 24.

Victoria Lawrence is almost unrecognizable in full firefighter bunker gear. Gripping a water hose nozzle in both hands, she moves forward, eyes trained on a mock car that sizzles with controlled flames. At the 16-year-old’s side is seasoned Ottawa firefighter Jason Paul. At her back are her peers, who, like Victoria, are experiencing for the first time what it takes to be a firefighter. “I’m hooked,” the Vernon resident said during her fourth day taking part in the Ottawa fire department’s eighth annual Camp FFIT (Female Firefighters in Training) at its Industrial Avenue training centre, August 21 to 25. Over the course of the week, 24 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 received a crash course in firefighting, from learning how to fight fires and rappel from a tower to climbing an aerial ladder and hearing about life on the job from the pros. “I’ve always been leaning toward emergency services in the military, and I’ve been trying to pinpoint it and I really like this,” said Victoria, whose older sister Megan took part in the camp last summer, inspiring Victoria to apply this year.

is skill-based and about being smart. While strength is a requirement, candidates are trained in the necessary skills, Tracey said. “Firefighting is not so much about brawn anymore. It’s about smart, effective use of science, technology.” Change is already underway. Maryam Abdulmajeed, of Greenboro, became the first camp participant to wear a hijab — a head scarf commonly worn by Muslim girls and women — under her firefighter helmet. The 19-year-old, who hopes to one day becoming a paramedic, was volunteering with the Ottawa Medical Venturer program for youth when she met Camp FFIT director Sue Jones, who pitched the idea of attending the program. Maryam sees herself as a role model for other Muslim girls. “Once I was volunteering at Muslim Eid Fest (at the end of Ramadan). I was wearing kind of like a paramedic uniform and I had a lot of young girls asking, ‘Can I take a picture with you? You’re the first hijab-wearing paramedic I saw.’ They thought it was really cool,” she recalled. Many Muslim girls often pursue careers that are not male-dominated, said Maryam, who recognizes that if more were to follow different career paths, it

would inspire other girls, and their parents to consider other options. “Because the parents don’t know that it’s possible, or (know about) the things that go on in the job,” she said. Another encouraging sign is the increase in the number of applications that come in for the Ottawa camp each year, said Jones, who is an Ottawa fire prevention officer as well as a camp director. Less than three per cent of the department’s firefighters are women. Today, there are 25 full-time suppression firefighters and 29 volunteer firefighters at the service, which has about 900 full-time firefighters and 450 volunteers. But the numbers are slowly climbing, said Jones, who was hired on at the Ottawa department as a firefighter in 2006. By the end of that year, about 10 women had been hired as Ottawa firefighters, she added. Knowledge about the career is key to recruitment, Jones said. “Some of them have family members … so they know they can do it,” she said of young girls and teens. “But then others, they grow up not seeing themselves in the career because any time you see a fire truck, a movie, magazines, books — (the firefighters) are typically men.” But that is changing as more women are hired as firefighters. “It’s a process,” Jones said.

A former All Saints High School and St. Paul High School teacher has been found guilty of professional misconduct – including psychological or emotional abuse – by the discipline committee of the Ontario College of Teachers after he sent inappropriate communications to two female students. Erland, who is currently on leave, will continue to work at one of the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s five adult education sites, said Mardi de Kemp, board spokesperson. She declined to specify where Erland will be teaching and said it’s unknown when his leave will end. “Mr. Erland is still licensed to teach in Ontario,” said de Kemp in an emailed statement. “The board feels that appropriate measures have been taken although we cannot divulge specifics. The board continues to co-operate with the college and work diligently to protect the safety, privacy and well-being of all our students and staff.” Erland pleaded guilty to five of the six allegations against him at an Ontario College of Teachers discipline committee hearing on June 7. The sixth allegation, teaching while under the influence of any substance or while adversely affected by dysfunction, was withdrawn. Erland did not respond to requests for comment by phone or online messenger. Erland communicated with a number of students, including the two female students described as best friends, via social media sites from about June to December 2014, the report states. One student brought the messages to a guidance counsellor at the school, who then told the principal. Erland “acknowledged the inappropriateness of his behaviour, regretted the words he used, and advised that he had closed his Twitter account and ended all electronic communication with students,” according to the report. He was suspended with pay for 24 days in January 2015 and required to complete a “boundaries” workshop, as well as review the college’s ethical standards for teachers and board policies for social media use, the report states. Erland was “administratively transferred” to another school in early 2015 before being moved to a permanent position at another school for the 2015-16 school year. He is listed online as a science teacher for St. Paul High School on Draper Avenue, although he is no longer working there, said de Kemp. “He did spend some time at St. Paul’s but is not assigned there,” she said. “His assignment will be at an adult education site when his leave ends.”

Avoid back injuries by choosing the right backpack Finding the right backpack is an essential component of back-to-school shopping. Children may have their own ideas of what’s in style, but parents should look for backpacks that are functional before factoring in style. Marrying form and function together can be challenging, but it’s necessary to prevent students from developing back problems. But parents must give consideration to more than just the size of their children’s backpacks. Depending on school schedules, students may be carrying backpacks for up to 10 hours per day, five days per week. Backpacks may be filled with several pounds of stuff, such as textbooks, binders, laptops, and other supplies, potentially

leading to injury. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, at least 14,000 children are treated for backpack-related injuries every year. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says that the weight of a backpack should not exceed 10 to 15 percent of a child’s body weight. But many students pack their bags with much more weight than that. Improperly sized, worn and overstuffed backpacks can injure joints and lead to neck, back and shoulder injuries. They also may affect children’s posture. • Choose a streamlined model. Select a backpack that will get the job done without much added bulk. Many backpacks

have been designed to hold technological devices as more and more schools integrate technology into the classroom. A less bulky bag might be lighter and easy to carry. • Consider shopping at a sporting goods store. Employees at camping and sporting goods retailers understand how to fit backpacks for hikers and outdoor adventurers. They can help measure a student and find a pack that will fit his or her body frame. Also, these retailers may have a wider selection of backpacks than some other stores, increasing the chances of finding the right fit. • Select a pack with a waist strap. According to the American Chiropractic Association, the body is not designed to car-

ry items hanging from shoulders. By using the waist strap in conjunction with taut shoulder straps, students can distribute the weight in their backpacks over their hip bones instead of the shoulders. The padded and adjustable shoulder straps should be at least two inches wide. All straps should be used each time the pack is worn. • Backpacks should be loaded properly. Heavy items should be near the center bottom to distribute the load, rather than placed on top. Students should only carry what is necessary, visiting lockers or desks as needed to lighten their packs. Backpack fit and functionality is something parents should take seriously when shopping for school supplies.

Guard against head lice As the school year begins anew, lice often becomes a subject of conversation among concerned parents. In certain areas, such as in classrooms and locker rooms, lice easily can be transferred from person to person. Understanding this common foe can help students avoid it and parents recognize it when it’s present. A louse is an ectoparasite, meaning it feeds on its host while

✂

living on the surface of the host’s body. Although lice can affect various parts of the body, they are most notably present on the scalp. Lice tend to congregate behind the ears and at the neckline at the back of the head. Sometimes, they can be found on the eyelashes or eyebrows. Lice can be difficult to detect, and they may not produce symptoms. In some instances, itching

and irritation may be so mild that it goes unnoticed. Plus, because eggs (nits) and even adult lice are so small, they can be difficult to identify. Treating lice typically involves using specialized combs to remove nits and lice. Pesticide shampoos and lotions or nonpesticide treatments may be used to eradicate the lice. Limiting head-to-head exposure is the best way to avoid a lice outbreak.

Reduce kids’ risk of getting colds at school School-aged kids who catch colds or the flu from their classmates can quickly spread those colds to their family members, who then might spread the colds further when they go to work. Preventing the spread of colds and flu at school is a team effort that requires the assistance of not just parents, but also teachers and students. Still, parents might be the first line of defense when it comes to preventing the spread of cold and flu at school. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 38 million school days are lost to the flu each year. Those lost days can affect students who miss lesson plans, but also affect parents, who often must take days off from work to tend to their sick children. While there’s no way for parents to guarantee their children won’t catch a cold or the flu this school year, they can take various preventive measures to increase kids’ chances of staying healthy and achieving perfect attendance. • Make sure kids are immunized and that

their immunizations are current. Vaccinations bolster kids immune systems. That’s important, as kids’ immune systems are naturally less mature than adults’, making them more vulnerable to germs and viruses. The CDC recommends that adults and children receive their flu vaccinations in October while noting that such vaccinations can be administered as late as January and still prove effective. The CDC also recommends that adults and children receive flu vaccinations each year. Additional vaccinations may not need to be administered as often, but parents should still ensure kids’ are up-to-date with their shots. • Make sure kids regularly wash their hands. Kids often catch colds by rubbing their hands that have been exposed to cold virus germs on their noses or eyes. To prevent that, parents can teach kids to wash to their hands thoroughly, including scrubbing the backs of their hands, between their fingers and around their fingernails. Kids should know to wash their hands regularly, but especially after they use the bathroom and

before they eat, drink or touch their mouths, noses or eyes. • Keep kids home when they are sick. Parents don’t want their children to miss school, but kids who are suffering from colds or flu should be kept home. This prevents the spread of colds and flu to classmates and teachers, and time to rest at home may help youngsters recover more quickly. • Teach kids to avoid common germ spots. Germs can be lurking anywhere, but some spots seem to make more welcome homes for germs than others. Studies have shown that kids were most likely to encounter germs in schools on water fountain spigots and on plastic cafeteria trays. Teach kids to never put their mouths on fountains and to avoid eating any food that might fall onto their trays in the cafeteria. School-aged children are susceptible to colds and flu when spending time in the classroom. But parents can reduce their youngsters’ cold and flu risk in various ways.

EXPERIENCE LIFE IN 1867

Erin McCracken/Metroland

River Coun. Riley Brockington is calling on the National Capital Commission to explain a recent string of unplanned closures to the Hog’s Back Road swing bridge.

Hog’s Back swing bridge closures ‘ridiculous’: councillor By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A host of emergency closures to the Hog’s Back swing bridge this year and last has prompted the area councillor to demand answers from the National Capital Commission. “The bridge was closed again yesterday morning,” River Coun. Riley Brockington said, referring to the most recent unplanned closure of the span Tuesday morning (August 22). “I was like, ‘This is ridiculous.’” “What is the problem? Is there a problem we’re not already aware of ?” he said of the request he made in his letter to NCC boss Mark Kristmanson the same day as the closure. “Let’s get it fixed. It’s a simple message.” There have been at least a half-dozen emergency closures so far this year, plus an extended shutdown in the spring, creating “traffic gridlock,” said Brockington, whose ward includes Hog’s Back Road, which is a busy connector for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists between Prince of Wales Drive and Riverside Drive. Local businesses are affected, and thousands of motorists from across Ottawa must scramble for alternate routes whenever the swing bridge over the Rideau Canal is out of commission.

“Most of the people impacted aren’t River Ward residents,” the councillor said. “They’re people that need to get west or south of here.” Mayor Jim Watson agreed there is a problem. “It’s very frustrating for the community. It’s a vital link along Hog’s Back and Colonel By and it obviously needs some significant overhaul because it keeps breaking down,” he said in an interview with Metroland Media. For that reason, Watson, who is a non-voting member of the NCC’s board of directors, said he plans to raise the issue at the commission’s next board meeting in September “and try to get a more permanent solution so it’s not every couple of weeks that we have this massive disruption of traffic, for cars as well as pedestrians and cyclists.” ‘REALLY, REALLY OLD’

Hog’s Back Bridge was closed for regular maintenance in April for a week. Just before it was set to reopen, the NCC announced the closure would be extended for a second week. Brockington said he was told that delay was needed to address hydraulics issues. With a bridge that’s more than 40 years old, age is a

contributing factor, said Dominique LeBlanc, NCC spokesperson. “It’s a really, really old bridge. They don’t make bridges like this anymore,” she said, adding that it has also experienced an increase in water and road traffic in the past 20 years. “They barely have the pieces for it anymore. We have to search for them.” The August 22 unscheduled closure was due to an electrical issue, though the exact problem has not yet been pinpointed. The closures earlier this summer were caused by mechanical issues with the bridge’s hydraulic system, she said, noting that additional work is needed to resolve this. “There’s little residue pieces that sometimes don’t get filtered out (of the oil). That’s what makes the bridge stop, either in the open position or the closed position,” said LeBlanc. “We just have to flush it every day to try to prevent that from happening.” The NCC tries to make scheduled repairs in off-peak hours, and works to address unforeseeable issues. “So far this summer I think we’ve done a really good job so that when it’s happened it hasn’t been an issue for more than hour or two,” LeBlanc said.

NCC, city, Parks Canada would need to talk about replacement Continued from page 23

While Brockington said he is understanding of short-term maintenance requirements, the issue is how often it’s happening. “These are unplanned frequent closures due to mechanical or hydraulic issues that should not be happening, and that’s the issue,” he said. “This is a tiny bridge but the impact is huge. I think people are fed up.” He said the most recent emergency closure demonstrates that time is of the essence with the start of school in early September and the resulting onslaught of traffic. “There’s going to be more people on the streets and we need this major road to be operational,” he said. So far, the city has been fortunate that there have been no major emergencies on the west side of the bridge when the span has broken down. “What if the bridge (gets stuck) and there’s a fire in one of these towers and the Brookfield (fire) trucks can’t

get through and they have to spend another five minutes to come, or there’s an emergency at a local school?” Brockington said, referring to the apartments on the west side of Hog’s Back Road. “We’ve been lucky so far and I don’t want that to happen. I want this bridge to be functional and the road open.” Ottawa fire Chief Gerry Pingitore told Metroland Media the department regularly deals with and adapts to road closures, including those unplanned. As well, the department has a protocol in effect requiring at least three fire trucks to respond to a report of a fire, the chief said in an emailed statement. The Brookfield fire station, just east of Riverside Drive and Brookfield Road, is supported by Station 24 on Viewmount Drive near Merivale Road in Nepean, Station 33 on McCarthy Road in the Hunt Club neighbourhood, and Station 35 on Alta Vista Drive. “No specific issues or incidents have been noted by OFS

staff regarding the coverage in the areas surrounding the Hog’s Back swing bridge,” Pingitore said. In Brockington’s letter appealing for answers from the NCC, which owns the bridge, he outlined the impact the closures have on city resources, in both staff time and on spending. Sudden closures require city staff to implement several emergency traffic management strategies, such as east and westbound traffic detours, placing notification signs, adjusting traffic signals to help with traffic flow and calling in extra staff to the city’s traffic control centre. “All of these actions incur a significant cost to the City of Ottawa each time an emergency closure occurs,” Brockington said in his letter, but could not provide an estimated price tag of the financial impacts. Replacing the entire span would be expensive, and would require talks between the NCC, Parks Canada, and the City of Ottawa. LeBlanc could not provide the estimated cost

forever home for the animals, but will never allow an animal to languish in suffering when its chance of recovery is bleak, or when there just aren’t enough resources to restore the animal to health. Ultimately, no kill is a divisive term. It pits members of the animal welfare community against one another instead of fostering collaboration around the common goal of saving animal lives. The Michigan Humane Society recently wrote an informative blog on this topic, read more at www.ottawahumane.ca/no-kill-blog.

No kill Shelters What does the term “no kill” really mean? At best, it is poorly understood and has no generally accepted definition. At worst, it is bomb to be thrown at another group that has the same goals but is struggling to achieve them. By some no-kill definitions, the Ottawa Humane Society fits the criteria, since the OHS never euthanizes animals because they are at the shelter too long or because the shelter is too full. But you won’t catch the OHS using the term. The OHS is an open admission, no-suffering, low-euthanasia shelter. Zero animals in need are ever turned away from the OHS. Euthanasia is only considered for animals the OHS can’t help, which means animals with medical or behavioural challenges that can’t reasonably be overcome. The OHS looks at all options to save a lives and to find

As we head into August, the Ottawa Humane Society is asking our community to help us make sure no dog is ever left to suffer in a hot car again. It’s only through educating our community and spreading the word that we can make sure the animals in our community are safe all summer long. The temperature inside a car can quickly climb, turning it into an oven in minutes. A dog inside will begin to pant, drool, suffer increased heart rate, vomit, have seizures and could even die. The dog’s brain may swell, he may have trouble breathing. The heat may affect all his organs, including his heart, weakening the muscle until the poor dog goes into shock. The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N. Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car. Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death. Notify authorities. Contact nearby stores and businesses. Ask them to make an announcement for the owner to return to their car. Get others to help you. If the dog is in distress call the Ottawa Police Service at 911. Stay on the scene to monitor the situation until the owner or help arrives.

to replace the bridge. “Hog’s Back is not just ours. We can’t just arbitrarily say we’re going to replace it,” LeBlanc said, adding that once the current boating seasons wraps up, the bridge will be re-evaluated to determine next steps. But Watson said replacing that bridge is a federal responsibility, and he would be willing to bring the span’s issues to the attention of area MPs. “Just as we don’t ask the NCC to cover our areas of responsibility, it’s really not up to local taxpayers to pay for federal infrastructure,” he said. “At the end of the day, that’s a federal piece of infrastructure and it should be properly maintained so it doesn’t keep breaking down.”

Mayor Jim Watson said replacing the Hog’s Back swing bridge would be a federal responsibility. He said the bridge, which has been closed multiple times this summer for repairs should be properly maintained. Metroland file photo

EMA LEE FASHIONS CELEBRATES FOURTEEN YEARS! BREAKING NEWS HOT OFF THE PRESS Ema lee Fashions is still opened and celebrating their fourteenth year!

BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

We are not ready to retire yet and our business etiquette would be to politely announce it to our many loyal customers old and new Everyone knows that the store is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 in the hamlet of Downtown Balderson. What people don’t know is why Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical everyday boutique. What makes it different? It’s the people! Here are a few examples: Fourteen years ago when we first opened Mr. and Mrs. Steve Clyne came into the store. He brought his guitar, sat in the “husbands chair” and played and sang while his wife shopped. This still happens! Customers come in; looked puzzled and then I can hear them humming to the same tune that he is playing. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Clyne! The late Miner Bell told me stories about the dances that took place in our building and how the nickelodeon machine would play “Irene Goodnight” over and over again. Men come in with their wives and tell how they use to deliver to my store when it was George Myers General Store or worked here years ago making Cheese and collecting milk. Others come in and within five minutes of talking, there is some kind of connection with history of family members that used to live in this beautiful area.

The dizzying Crazy Kitchen is here to stay at museum The vertigo-inducing Crazy Kitchen at the Canada Science and Technology Museum has a new façade, but nothing else has changed about the popular feature despite the museum’s $80.5

A McDougal family use to own the store and their family members from Oshawa told the story about how scarlet fever hit. They had to close the store because people were afraid to go near them. A McLaren family member from Alberta brought in framed photos and newspaper articles about their Grandmother Lillian Cameron being the first telephone operator in Balderson. A gentleman by the name of Dalton Bradley dropped off two of his wives hats to add to my vintage hat collection. She had been a nurse at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Then one day a customer came in and asked where did you get that hat? When I explained, she said that she had been with her mother the day that she had bought it and was pleased to see it on display. She was Mr. Bradley’s daughter.

courage and strength. What an inspiration! There has also been a lot of laughter at Ema Lee Fashions especially the days when the late Mrs. Ora Paul came in. Just when I was taking life too seriously or upset when someone tried to return a bathing suit at the end of the season, Ora actually helped me keep my act together. Thanks Ora. I’ve watched children grow up and come back to shop and show me their wedding or graduation pictures. I’ve met 100-103 years old ladies full of spunk come in and buy their Birthday Party Bling. One of the told me ‘My dear it’s all in the attitude!

So we are not only celebrating fourteen years in business but celebrating the journey of meeting such wonderful, interesting caring people at Ema Lee Fashions. More Two customers from Perth than a ladies fashion store! heard that my grandson was very ill As many customers have said ‘if back in 2008. They placed his name on a prayer list across Canada and you can’t find something to wear the US. That was nine years ago. here you are not shopping. Thank you! This Labour Day weekend I have seen customers with from Thursday to Monday we are medical conditions that chose to having our fourteenth anniversary carry on and fight with dignity, celebration sale.

million overhaul. Mayor Jim Watson was one of the first nonstaff members of the museum to go through the kitchen, renamed the Crazy Kitchen +. The 50-year-old exhibit is an optical illusion that confuses the eyes with titled floors and wonky proportions. “The whole concept of the Crazy Kitchen is an argument in your brain,” said Fern Proulx, interim president of the museum. The plus sign was added to the name because the outside of the kitchen will be beefed up with more illusions and exhibits. See MUSEUM, page 29

Mayor Jim Watson helps to assemble backpacks for the Caring and Sharing Exchange at the Westgate Shopping Centre on Aug. 22. The program seeks to provide 2,500 backpacks filled with supplies for families in need with children from kindergarten to grade 8.

Volunteers pack over 2,000 backpacks for kids in need Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson, MPP John Fraser and Coun. Mark Taylor helped to assemble more than 2,000 backpacks on Aug. 22 for the Caring and Sharing exchange. The charity helps Ottawa families facing economic hardships during the back-to-school season. Hosted by RioCan at the Westgate Shopping Centre, the charity has been providing backpacks filled with school supplies that are grade appropriate. Thousands of children across the city have benefited from this program since 2011 and according to the organization the program has seen “tremendous growth” over the last two years. “We have been very fortunate to have received so much support from individuals as well as many businesses in the community,” said Cindy Smith, executive director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange.

“Many of our corporate partners as well as Tips for Cops have held their own fundraisers to help us meet the growing need for back-to-school support.” Due to the increase in demand for the backpacks the charity has had to deal with a wait-list for the last four years. They are seeking to eliminate it by asking for help from the community. “While we saw a substantial 31 per cent increase in registration last year for SISS (Sharing in Student Success), we received an outpouring of love and support from the community that helped us assist all 2,065 children registered,” said Smith. “This year we hope to help the 2,516 children that have registered for support. We still have about 230 children on our wait-list that are waiting for school supplies” Other volunteers that participated in the packing of the backpacks included members of the Ottawa Police, Bell Canada and CAA employees and individual volunteers.

Museum on track to reopen in November Continued from page 29

When surveyed, the public said it loves the Crazy Kitchen, and didn’t want anything to change during the museum overhaul. Instead of changing it, the new experiences will be added outside the kitchen to create an entire exhibit. “I’ve gone through maybe 500 times and I still get that dizzying feeling,” Proulx said. The Crazy Kitchen and the locomotives are both staying, while other new exhibits are well underway and nearing completion for the museum’s Nov. 17, 2017 opening. The museum closed suddenly in September 2014 after mould was found. The three-year renovation has been used to develop new exhibits, which are all starting to come together. “There’s a huge amount of change,” said Christina Tessier, the museum’s director general. Every time he comes and looks at the museum, Proulx said, “There’s a different look and feel.” A lot of work has been done offsite, with the completed pieces now being brought in to be installed as exhibits. During an Aug. 22 media tour of the museum, Tessier noted some of the new features and exhibits that will be in the revamped space. She said she’s particularly excited for the new 750-square-metre children’s gallery. New on site is a tiny house – measuring only 30 square metres – meant to spark discussions about consumerism. “It’s not meant to be a criticism of our culture – it’s meant to start a dialogue with families,” Tessier said. That exhibit will demonstrate how families have gotten smaller over the years, yet houses have become bigger, and the number of possessions has grown. People can walk through the small home, built by an Aylmer company, and compare it to the outline of houses built in 1945 and 2000. “We went with the full build of a tiny house (because) we really wanted it to be immersive,” said Emily Gunn, the exhibit curator. Other exhibits include hands-on experiences with microscopes, wearable technology, an LED façade at the museum entrance, and medical technology. The grand opening of the revamped site is scheduled for Nov. 17 at 9 a.m. – 50 years after the museum first opened.

She plopped into the Model T, let out a big sigh and then put her head down on the steering wheel. “Whew,” she said, as if she had just been relieved of some heavy load. “Whew,” she said again. I dared to ask her what all the fuss was about. “Did you see that iron? Well, let me tell you about a gas iron my friend Rosy had in her New York apartment. It looked just like that one too.” Mother was breathing hard, as if the memory was causing her pain. “The first time Rosy used it, she called me in from next door to see this new invention. Well! It hissed, it sputtered, and the blue smoke came out of it, and then there was this big puff.

Mother started the car, driving away from the curb and headed down to the main street. She was still running down the gas iron when we hit the Northcote Side Road a couple hours later. She said we were lucky to get out of that house alive, and she was sure that one day we’d read in the Renfrew Mercury about a gas iron explosion at one of the richest houses in Renfrew!

The Ottawa Senators held a memorial service for Bryan Murray on Aug. 24 at the Canadian Tire Centre. Murray died Aug. 12 after a long battle with colon cancer. Players and executives from all over the NHL came to pay their respects to the man who had a

part in many of their careers, some of which he even helped to start. “He got me my first job,” said Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock. “He’s been in the league a long long time and he’s touched a lot of people. If you’re an upfront guy people are attracted to that “ Babcock worked with Murray when he coached in Anaheim and Murray was the Gen-

eral Manager. A lot of former and current Senators players were in attendance including Chris Phillips. Philips spent his entire career with the organization and a large portion of that was with Murray behind the bench or up in the executive box. In the final season before he retired Phillips didn’t play a game and spent a lot of time up in the box with Murray.

“He was an honest man,” said Phillips. “Ask him an honest question and he gave you and honest answer. You knew where you stood with him. He had time for everyone no matter where he was in the community.” As a coach and later GM, Murray had the respect of people throughout the organization See PLAYERS, page 33

Players, coaches, and executives from all over NHL came to pay their respects Continued from page 32

“It wasn’t about him, it wasn’t about individuals. It was about the team,” said Phillips. Pierre Dorion took over the GM job after Murray stepped down. So far under his tenure the team has been to the playoffs two of the three years with deep run into the playoffs last season. “I wouldn’t be the GM I am today without Bryan Murray,” said Dorion. “He had such a good approach to the way he did things.” After his diagnosis Murray became a champion for colonoscopies and how important it is to get yourself checked. Unfortunately Murray had not gotten checked and was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer that most likely could have been caught had he gotten regular checks. But instead of being angry he decided to be a voice to convince others to not skip on the important checkup. “He thought about how he could have saved so

many other lives,” said Dorion. The ceremony to celebrate Murray was emceed by Dean Brown and Gord Wilson. The two-long time sportscasters have been involved with the organization for a very long time and were both very familiar with Murray. Chris Phillips spoke for his fellow former and current players and Murray’s niece Lynn Hearty-Coutts spoke for the family. Commissioner for the NHL Gary Bettman was also on hand to celebrate Murray’s life and held him in high regard for both his work in the NHL and his work to raise awareness for colon cancer. “His message to all was get checked and my sincere hope is everyone will honour Bryan’s life and his advice,” said Bettman. “Ultimately Bryan would find his place in the NHL, and look at this NHL map. Washington, Detroit, Florida, Anaheim and, of course, Ottawa. In each of those organizations, Bryan was an agent of change.” “I know I can speak for everyone who

played for Bryan that would remember his sarcastic wit,” said Phillips. “His team meetings were awesome, even when he was not happy with us he would throw out his sarcastic wit that made even Mike Fisher giggle.” Phillips told a story about when Fisher was going through a bit of a scoring slump when he was still in Ottawa. He asked Fisher “are you ever going to score again?” Once he stopped laughing he asked him again “no, seriously, are you?” Fisher later scored that night. An emotional Pierre Dorion spoke on behalf of the management along with assistant general manager Randy Lee. He spoke of the legacy Murray would leave with the team and the importance of honouring his memory. “Bryan’s fingerprints will be on this team for years to come,” said Dorion. “As a team and as a community, we owe him a Christopher Whan/Metroland great debt of gratitude.” Former Ottawa Senator Chris Phillips speaks at the “Hopefully the next time we’ll gather like this it’s to celebrate Bryan’s induction celebration of life for Bryan Murray at the Canadian Tire Centre on Aug. 24. into the hockey hall of fame.”

The Keep Ontario Working Coalition (KOW), in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and the West Ottawa Board of Trade released the first and only independent economic impact analysis of Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act. Conducted by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), the study revealed that if the legislation is implemented as currently drafted, there will be significant, sudden and sizable uncertainty for Ontario jobs, economy and communities. The Orleans Chamber of Commerce, Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and West Ottawa Board of Trade are working together with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and local stakeholders, including local Business Improvement Areas to advocate for amendments to Bill 148 that will ensure its intended outcomes. We strongly advise the government to consider the results of the economic analysis and act accordingly.
