City floats new water rate structure Rural homeowners tapped to pay ‘fair share’ for stormwater service Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
The city is looking for resident feedback as it floats a new water rate structure. Seven public consultations are scheduled for March and April, including one in West Carleton on March 29, to deal with how the city charges for water, wastewater
and stormwater management. Rural homeowners on private well and septic systems will be asked to “pay their fair share of the cost” for stormwater infrastructure that benefits their areas, said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. “It’s never a good idea when you have to charge residents taxes. On the other hand, the folks who live in (Carp) village where we have water service, they’re paying a lot more for something we are benefitting from,” he said. The washout on Thomas A Dolan Parkway in 2014 cost city ratepayers $710,000. See PUBLIC, page 6
Diefenbunker becomes ‘world’s largest escape room’ Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
When the Diefenbunker and Escape Manor announced their partnership to create the “world’s largest escape room,” they knew they had a hit on their hands. What they didn’t realize was just how popular Escape the Diefenbunker would prove.

Within a week, the attraction had sold out every available timeslot until September and had a waiting list of 218 groups. “We knew it would be good, but we didn’t know it would be this quick of an uptake,” said Steve Wilson, one of the Escape Manor partners. “It’s been a tremendous experience; we never saw it coming.”

Friends of the Carp Hills – new name, same vision
Submitted
Volunteers clear the Crazy Horse Trail last fall. The Friends of Huntley Highlands has changed its name to Friends of the Carp Hills. The group will host a public meeting on Wednesday, March 23.
It’s official: the Friends of Huntley Highlands has changed its name to Friends of the Carp Hills. “It’s the same organization, the same mandate, and the same people,” said chair Janet Mason. “We wanted the organization’s name to better reflect the special area we’re dedicated to preserving.” Formed in 2013, the group comprises volunteers who want to ensure the natural history and beauty of the Carp Hills are preserved for future generations to enjoy. The urban development boundary is less than two kilometres away from the Hills. As the city expands the boundary, the Friends want to ensure the habitat loss and fragmentation that have occurred in the adjacent South March Highlands do not occur in the Carp Hills. Preserving recreational use of the Hills is also important to the Friends. Trail clearing and marking by many volunteers made possible the opening of the Crazy Horse Trail on City of Ottawa land in November of last year. The seven-kilometre trail was an immediate hit with the community, seeing active use by hikers, skiers and snowshoers throughout the winter. In January, the Community Foun-
A highlight of the meeting will be a briefing by trail co-ordinator, Bernard Proulx, about new side trails and loops he’s adding to the Crazy Horse Trail. The group will also provide an update on the land preservation initiative members are working on with Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust and Ducks Unlimited Canada and present a vision for Carp that connects and celebrates the village’s human and natural heritage. Membership forms will be available. Everyone is welcome to attend and provide feedback.
dation of Ottawa awarded a grant for trail improvements – a boardwalk and trail signage – to the Friends working in partnership with Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. New this year is membership in the Friends, which allows the broad community base that the group has built to support and participate in the organization. One-, two-, and threeyear memberships are available. The renamed Friends have many plans for 2016 and beyond. They’re holding their third annual public meeting on Wednesday, March 23, at 7 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall.

The Cold War museum and Escape Manor, an Ottawabased entertainment business that creates escape rooms, held a launch reception with sneak peeks of the Escape the Diefenbunker spaces to be used – but no spoilers – on March 9. More than 80 people, many who had signed up for the escape experience, attended the event. “It’s exciting, beyond our expectations,” said Megan Lafrenière, curatorial and marketing manager at the Diefenbunker. “We didn’t know it would be this quick to sell out.” The Diefenbunker approached Escape Manor to construct an escape experience that incorporated the history of the Cold War. Escapees work within a story line, uncovering clues hidden among existing artefacts and new props throughout the Diefenbunker’s 300-level. “I was floored at the detail they put into the experience,” said Lafrenière. “We’re happy to be able to bring something like this to rural Ottawa.” Billed as a 60-minute, 12-person espionage-themed experience, escapees attempt to thwart an imminent nuclear attack on the Nation’s Capital. “You’re right here in 2016 on

The Diefenbunker is actually a front for an enemy syndicate.” The escape takes place on the 300-level of the underground bunker, incorporating various rooms such as the war cabinet room, map room, prime minister’s chamber and CBC communications room. “It’s our most complex floor for sure,” said Lafrenière. With a multitude of rooms and narrow hallways, “it’s very easy to
get lost.” Thanks to the event’s popularity, the Diefenbunker announced additional tickets would be available beginning March 16 for Friday and Saturday evening bookings in April, and new fall dates would be revealed shortly. The team is also looking at adding new spaces. “We’d like to do something in the vault,” said Wilson. “The fact that we sold out in the first week this was announced, I think sooner (rather) than later that might be a great idea.”
The escape experience will draw a new crowd of people to the Cold War museum, said Lafrenière, who will hopefully come back to experience the full tour of the Diefenbunker. “We’re Canada’s oldest surviving Cold War site,” she said. “The fact they’re walking through these spaces, they’re going to be curious and hopefully come back.” Currently, Escape the Diefenbunker runs Thursdays to Sundays, with four timeslots beginning at 5 p.m. For details, visit diefenbunker.ca or escapemanor.com/booking.

Easter comes to the Carp Farmers’ Market Staff
A sure sign that spring is on its way is the budding hype for the 26th annual Carp Farmers’ Easter Market, set for Saturday, March 26. With more than 50 vendors planted along the Carp Fairgrounds, there will be plenty for market-goers to choose from. “It’s been a long winter but spring is definitely in the air,” said market manager, Ennio Marcantonio in a news release. “Our vendors are excited to be back and are gearing up for an outstanding 26th market season.” The Easter market will offer assorted meats including local lamb, elk, pork and beef, as well as eggs, fresh greens, root vegetables, honey, garlic dips, maple syrup,
fresh cider and apples from last year’s crop. A wide range of preserves, cheeses, savoury and sweet baked goods, including chocolate, a holiday favourite will also be available. And those on the hunt for a special Easter gift can discover high-end crafts, including art and ceramics, body lotions, soaps, woodwork, jewelry, toys and clothes. “As the Carp Farmers’ Market continues to grow each year, our commitment to maintaining the highest possible quality in both produce and crafts remains as strong as ever,” said Marcantonio, adding all products must have been made, baked or grown by the vendors, ensuring the event remains an authentic, producer-based market.

Public meeting on water rate structure in West Carleton March 29 Continued from page 1
NOT HAPPY
Rural property owners would not pay for drinking water and sewer services under the new fee. They would, however, be expected to pay into the stormwa-
ter infrastructure. The city is proposing two significant changes to its rate structure: • Charging a fixed rate, in addition to the rate-based on water consumption that is used currently; • Creating a separate stormwater fee for property owners that do not currently pay for water services. “I’ve heard quite a bit (from residents), they’re not happy about this,” said the councillor. “I’m one of them who’s not happy; we’re paying more than R0013661777-0128
Culvert work completed on Galetta and Kinburn Side roads, Woodkilton and Torbolton Ridge roads, and Dunhaven Drive last year cost water ratepayers $598,000. “We changed 13 culverts last year on Kinburn Side Road. All that money came from the sewers and water rate. We didn’t contribute to it,” said El-Chantiry. “One part (of the city) is subsidizing the other. We’re trying to find an equitable
way to deal with this.” In 2016, a total of $10.8 million was approved for additional culvert work, to be completed by 2018, that includes rural wards West Carleton, Cumberland, Osgoode and Rideau-Goulbourn.

what we did before.” El-Chantiry said he blames the transition board for not implementing a system during amalgamation. “The transition board never dealt with that issue. It never got figured out,” he said. The city announced last year it was reviewing how Ottawa charges for water, sewer and storm water services to make up for falling revenues. The city received $20 million less in water revenues than expected in 2014 and has about $250-million in annual renewal projects planned between now and 2022. El-Chantiry said about $8-million is spent in rural areas on stormwater infrastructure every year and the city is looking to generate $2-million of that, translating to $5 or $6 per rural home. He added that properties would only be charged based on the residential acreage, not farmland. “If someone owns 100

acres, two acres are where the home is and 98 acres are farmland, the property owner is only charged for the two acres,” said ElChantiry. He said he hopes residents come out for the meetings to voice their opinions. “Let’s have that dialogue, let’s see what our residents have to say about it.” MEETINGS

Darouze’s petition was prompted by the increasingly varied rates paid by residents who live in different areas of the same city. The problem, he said, is that when Ottawa amalgamated more than 15 years ago, 45,000 rural residents were not absorbed by the city’s utility company Hydro Ottawa. Instead, they were left with their existing provider Hydro One. For years, the discrepancy wasn’t an issue. However, in 2004 and 2005, Hydro One changed its billing structure and began to charge a delivery fee to rural residents. This caused rates to skyrocket, resting currently at about 30 per cent more than rates inside the urban core. “The residents are really tired of paying,” Darouze said. “We need to do something.” The first option put on the table was for Hydro Ottawa to purchase service rights for those 45,000 rural Ottawa residents from Hydro One. However, that option proved to be a dead end. Instead, working on a suggestion from a Greely resident, Darouze said his office began to look into creating a petition that would more quickly and efficiently bring attention to the issue. The petition calls on the provincial government to equalize rates between urban and rural residents. “If Walmart can price match,” Darouze said, “why can’t Hydro One

International Women’s Day - Intercultural Dialogue Institute It was a pleasure to deliver the opening remarks at the International Women’s Day event organized by the Intercultural Dialogue Institute of Ottawa. I had the chance to speak to residents of our community on the importance of empowering women. I believe that when women are empowered, they can fulfill their potential and contribute their best to our communities and our society. Veterans Events I was thrilled to have the opportunity to represent Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr at the Horses and Heroes Gala held in Petawawa. This event was organized by the War Horse Project, a not for profit organization using horses to help veterans who have been adversely affected by trauma. I also attended a Wounded Warriors event hosted by Scott Maxwell, Executive Director of Wounded Warriors Canada. This fundraiser was held at the Ottawa Curling Club during the Brier and was attended by Team Canada. Finally I joined the team from VETS Canada for a “Boats on the Ground” event, reaching out to the homeless in Ottawa, helping homeless veterans. It is so inspiring to see people helping those who have served our country. Agricultural Safety Week

PETITION
Darouze said the petition will be available for as long as it takes to get all the signatures from residents that it possibly can. “This is a community effort,” he said. “We have to work on it as a team.” Darouze said he thinks a petition is the most efficient and effective way to draw attention to the hydro rate issue facing rural residents; after all, he said, they have nothing to lose. “We are not going to lose anything,” he said of rural residents, including himself, who are paying too much for hydro. “The result could be great and it could be not, but if you don’t at least try you’ll never know.” With files from Jessica Cunha
match the price for our residents?” The petition is using a hard-copy platform as opposed to an online one. This, Darouze said, gives it more credibility. The form can be downloaded from Darouze’s website (www.georgedarouze.ca) or Facebook. Alternatively, the form can be picked up from his office at 8243 Victoria St. in Metcalfe. When completed, the forms can be dropped off at Darouze’s office, sent in by mail or picked up by a member of his staff if arrangements are made. “We need everyone in the City of Ottawa to sign,” Darouze said. “I think we have an opportunity to voice our concerns and voice our opinion to Queen’s Park.”
COMMUNITY
If you don’t try, you’ll never know. That’s why Coun. George Darouze of Osgoode ward spent months creating a petition to the Ontario government, urging them to harmonize hydro rates for all Ottawa residents. “I don’t think it’s fair for rural residents to pay 30 per cent more than people on the other side of Mitch Owens (Road),” said Darouze of the difference between Hydro Ottawa rates paid by urban residents and Hydro One rates paid by those in the city’s rural areas. But West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli ElChantiry is skeptical the petition will result in any change, saying he’s concerned about creating false hope. “If any of us knew a petition is going to make a change, trust me, people would be glad to sign a petition. To say price matching, I’m not sure if this is even worth discussing,” he said. “I’m not sure, to be honest with you, what this petition will do for us. Yes politically it sounds good but … I don’t feel really that it’s going anywhere – except building hope.” El-Chantiry said price matching likely wouldn’t work because both companies have different policies on their deliveries. “I don’t want to build expectations,” said the ward 5 councillor, adding that if people want to sign the petition they should do so. “It’s available. If they want to sign it, sign it.” The negotiations last year between the two power utilities concluded it would be “financially irresponsible” for Hydro Ottawa to acquire Hydro One customers. “The rural area, that’s very valuable customers to Hydro One,” said ElChantiry. “They’re not going to let them go. We heard it’s going to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars (to
sell to Hydro Ottawa).” And should Hydro Ottawa decide to purchase the remaining Hydro One customers within city boundaries, those customers would be expected to foot the bill for capital infrastructure already in place at market value. “As a customer, I’ve already paid for that,” said El-Chantiry. “It means us in West Carleton or Osgoode are going to end up paying again for something we’ve already paid for.”

Honour our Afghan veterans
A
s the federal Conservative party and the right-wing chattering class of columnists continue to lick their wounds over losing an election to a person named Trudeau, the way the new federal Liberal government manages the Canadian military has become the go-to topic to criticize the Grits. The narrative that the new federal Liberal government is “weak� in its support for the coalition taking on Daesh (formerly identified as ISIS or ISIL) does not hold up to real scrutiny by people who don’t have a knee-jerk antiTrudeau streak. But there were a few Conservative voices raised recently that are on the mark on at least one thing. The previously planned memorial to Canada’s military effort in the Afghan war must come to fruition. Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, now reduced to being just one of a tiny Conservative beachhead in the national capital area, joined Durham MP Erin O’Toole at the proposed memorial site in Ottawa on March 6 to pledge his continued support for the project, and to urge the current government to publically do the same. This came after news reports indicated the new Liberal government was reviewing previous Conservative government initia-
tives. The media reports didn’t say the Afghan war memorial was actually on the chopping block, but the possibility of a review does dovetail with the Conservative narrative about the Trudeau Liberal’s military policies, even if that narrative is often at odds with reality. It is almost comical how members of the former Conservative government, a government that touted itself as being “strong� on military issues while at the same time shunned many veterans’ concerns over the course of its time in office, now turns its guns on the new government. But politics is politics, and hypocrisy is often the name of the game in that arena. But Poilievre is right when he told Metroland Media that, “It was important to combat terrorism in the aftermath of 9-11. I think the least we can do is recognize that effort with a national memorial.� More than 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces served in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014; of those, more than 2,000 were injured and 158 lost their lives. The Canadian military effort in Afghanistan, which was started by a previous Liberal regime, must be honoured, regardless of which federal political party takes credit for making sure it actually gets done.

I
see that the Empire Grill changed its name to the Empire Restaurant and then became something else entirely. This reminded me of a walk I took through the market recently. Walking down Clarence Street it occurred to me that almost none of the many restaurants on the street were there five years ago. By the way, that doesn’t mean that a whole bunch of restaurants were added to the city’s supply. It means that a whole bunch of restaurants died first. It’s a precarious business, as you’re reminded every day, maybe the most precarious of all. Some restaurants that we thought were really successful are no longer with us. They produced great food, seemed to be

may even make money. But it’s not so simple, as far too many owners have found out. Many things can go wrong and most will. There will be delays and red tape before the necessary permits get there. The renovations will be slow and more expensive than budgeted. Good staff will be hard to find and the best will leave. Deliveries will not be reliable and the signature dish will not be available on the day the self-styled reviewer from TripAdvisor shows up. Taxes will increase unexpectedly. Your street will, without much in the way of warning, become a construction zone lasting for months. Even people who want to get there will give up. Even worse, the neighbourhood may suddenly become trendy. While everybody congratulates you on being located in a hot neighbourhood, the increased traffic and difficulty parking will drive
people away. Meanwhile, your rent will triple. It will be too hot on the summer, too cold in the winter for people to go out for dinner. Even your friends who, it turns out, have other things to do. Culinary fashions can change. The thing you prepare so well that everybody loves? It becomes passÊ. Nobody wants it any more. It is so 2015.Even government policies can affect you. Remember when the government decided to crack down on fancy expense account meals. About time, many of us said, but some restaurants paid the ultimate price. Remember CafÊ Henry Burger? Been there lately? Didn’t think so. Maybe you survive all that. Then the big-name chain restaurant opens down the block and every heads over there because the spaghetti is cheaper and the chicken wings are famous. There are dozens of other things that can go wrong and

Gun registry wouldn’t have prevented shooting To the Editor: I was saddened to see the letter (West Carleton Review, Feb. 25) from Emile Therien which tried to use the tragic murders in Almonte to advance his own statist agenda. A gun registry could not possibly have prevented that tragedy. If the killer was legally allowed to possess the firearm used, then the registry would not have prevented its misuse. If the killer had obtained it illegally then, a fortiori, the registry would have had no effect.
There is no documented instance of the gun registry (in the 20 or so years it was in existence) ever preventing a crime. When sad events such as the murder suicide in Almonte occur, rather than have special interests figuratively dance on the graves of the victims and offer simplistic placebo solutions, we should try to think of how society could deal with the root problems.
Licensing, which has been in effect continually for decades, would have been the only necessary tool to prevent his acquiring the firearm if there was any prior indication of the killer’s intent. The root problem was a lack of value placed on human life by the shooter. The gun registry did not promote Canadian values. It was a political smoke and mirrors trick to try to deceive the public into thinking that the government of the day was doing something to increase their safety.

Shame on Empties for paws policy clarified distasteful actions ToI wasthereading It would be very disEditor: the West appointing for this error To the Editor: We were given an opportunity in October to change the landscape in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, but to no avail; nothing has changed - 26,195 voted for the return of MP Cheryl Gallant - who were these voters? Canada was ready for ‘change’; our riding sadly missed out. I am truly mortified by the headline, “Gallant uses dead soldier’s image to sell Easter hams.” Could it sink any lower; what was she thinking using Corporal Nathan Cirillo ‘s photo? On behalf of many residents I have spoken to in our riding, we apologize to the family of Corporal Cirillo. This should never have happened. It’s time to look beyond yet another ‘photo opportunity’ and headline. Valarie J. Baker White Lake

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Water, wastewater & stormwater rate structure review The City of Ottawa is developing a new rate structure to fund water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. Many Ward 5 residents have expressed concerns about the proposed new rate structure. Let me begin by clarifying that property owners will not be asked to pay for a service that does not benefit them. If your property has private well and septic systems, you will not be asked to pay to support the City’s water and wastewater systems. One of the goals of this review is to ensure that everyone pays their fair share of providing the services that benefit their property. Property owners who do not pay a water bill (which includes both rural residential and urban commercial properties) are not currently contributing to the cost of stormwater infrastructure. The proposed new stormwater fee would be paid by all Ottawa properties that benefit from stormwater services. What is stormwater management? It manages the safe transportation of rain and meltwater across Ottawa. Ottawa’s stormwater infrastructure is much greater than the ditches in front of houses. It includes thousands of kilometres of roadside ditches and thousands of culverts to collect and manage stormwater throughout Ottawa. If you travel anywhere along roads in Ottawa, you benefit from stormwater infrastructure. It protects roads, properties and local waterways from flooding and erosion. It services a vast network of culverts, ditches, stormwater ponds, catch basins and stormwater pipes. One example, many of you will recall, were the recent washouts on Thomas A. Dolan Pkwy and Ridgetop Road. The work required to make these repairs was over $710,000 – all of which was funded solely from the urban water bill revenue. I should provide some background for context purposes so residents can understand what’s happening. Before amalgamation, all stormwater drainage in West Carleton was paid for on the residents’ tax bills. At the time, the Transition Board that oversaw the amalgamation process decided to put stormwater costs from the tax bill to the sewer and water rate bill. Since amalgamation, all stormwater costs in the rural areas have been assessed only to those who pay water and sewer bills. This means that residents in the Village of Carp are paying for something that the residents in the rest of West Carleton-March do not. As it currently stands, the City of Ottawa spends $8 million every year on stormwater work rurally and only those who receive a water and sewer bill pay for it. As part of this rate review, there are three options that the City is looking at for calculating the stormwater charge: • Flat fee: stormwater services are divided equally and all properties pay the same rate • Assessment based fee: stormwater costs are allocated to properties based on the assessed value of each property • Impervious surface: an average impervious surface is calculated for three categories of residences: single detached home, townhouse and apartments. A different rate would be charged for each category. Non-residential customers would pay based on the actual calculated impervious area of their property. Depending on which option above is implemented, it should be noted that the actual cost to the taxpayer will range from about $5 to $9 per month. The City is now seeking your feedback on this review and residents can register to participate in one of the following public consultation sessions: • Monday, March 21, from 7 to 9 p.m., Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Boulevard • Tuesday, March 29, from 7 to 9 p.m., West Carleton Community Complex, 5670 Carp Road • Wednesday, March 30, from 7 to 9 p.m., City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West • Thursday, March 31, from 7 to 9 p.m., Navan Memorial Centre, 1295 Colonial Road • Saturday, April 2, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Metcalfe Community Centre, 8243 Victoria Street • Tuesday, April 5, from 7 to 9 p.m., Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre, 2300 Community Way • Thursday, April 7, from 7 to 9 p.m., Nepean Sportsplex, 1701 Woodroffe Avenue This is a very important issue and if you want your voice heard, please attend one of these consultation sessions. I will be on hand at the session on March 29 at the West Carleton Community Complex and I hope to see many of you there. I need to hear from you so I have something to work with as I go forward with this process and in discussions with city staff, Mayor Watson and my council colleagues. R0013734883

Gallant apologizes for fundraiser that featured fallen soldier Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Cheryl Gallant apologized on Thursday afternoon, March 10, for a political fundraising email that outraged many in the military and the general public. The Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP’s statement, in full, reads: “Earlier this week, a fundraising email in my name from my Electoral District Association raised attention. “I have spent my entire life and political career defending and advocating for the women and men of the Canadian
Armed Forces, especially with Garrison Petawawa located in my riding. “I included a photo of Corporal Cirillo as a way to honour him. In my view, and that of many others, he is a Canadian hero who should not be forgotten and whose memory should be celebrated. However, given the email was a fundraising request, I should not have included that photo. I apologize for doing so. “Funds already raised through this email appeal will be presented to the Stand on Guard Fund for the families of Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Office Patrice
Vincent.” Gallant’s fundraising email with the subject line ‘Terrorists in our midst’ was sent on March 2. It contained a photo of an unnamed Cirillo, the War Memorial sentry killed by a lone gunman in 2014. The email continues to anger many on social media websites and the story keeps growing as newspapers and broadcasters across the country produce articles about it. Beyond the Cirillo aspect, there have been accusations of racism for linking immigrants and refugees with terrorists. Gallant attempted to quash the backlash with a March 4

statement from her Electoral District Association (EDA) president that reads, in full: “Thank you to all who responded to our letter: loyalty is what makes good citizens. “Cheryl and I are pleased to let you know that a donation will be made to the Stand on Guard Fund in support of the families of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo. “Sincerely, Chris Brown, EDA president, Cheryl Gallant, MP Renfrew-NipissingPembroke.” Days before the March 10 apology statement, Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose said that Gallant “has taken that back and apologized for it.” LETTER TO EDITOR
On March 9, Gallant sent Metroland Media a letter to the editor referencing, not the ham fundraiser, but a second
aspect of the news outlet’s story: her lambasting Liberal MP Karen McCrimmon – who is retired from the military – for not participating in an ongoing campaign in support of military families. She said, in full: “It was with considerable surprise I read the story ‘MP yelled at in House of Commons for clothing choice’. For the benefit of your readers, here is some of that exchange that was omitted in your story from the February 19, 2016 Hansard, which is the official proceedings of the House of Commons. I can assure you it was not “yelled” as alleged in your article. “Mrs. Cheryl Gallant (Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, Conservative): ‘Mr. Speaker, today in the valley it is known as Red Friday. During the Afghanistan mission, two military wives, Lisa Miller and Karen Boire, started a tradition that spread right across
Canada, wearing red on Friday to remember every week the soldiers who gave their lives and spilled their blood in Afghanistan. ‘How can the member over there stand under the pretext of representing military families when today the minister admitted to withdrawing the CF-18s before putting other proper protection in place? The best way to ensure that military families are taken care of is to ensure that their loved ones come home all in one piece.’ “Mrs. Karen McCrimmon: ‘Mr. Speaker, The honest thing to admit is that I got splashed yesterday. The nice gray suit I normally wear with my red shirt, well, I am afraid it was unsuitable to be worn this morning. Sometimes those kinds of things just happen.’ “The next time you get a socalled hot tip from a defeated candidate and his version of cynicism and fear that did not work for him in the last election, you should hit the delete button.”

OPINION

Ten years since Taiwan I tiptoe around the house in the morning these days because the Farmer-turned-Real Estate Agent doesn’t always have to be up early. Except today. “Why did you let me sleep in?” he asked, looking rather bleary and rumpled. “Wha? You always sleep in …” “Not when I have to be at a training session in Ottawa. In an hour.” I had just been out on the porch placating a bunch of bawling cows. Their feeders were empty and I wasn’t strong enough to drive the tractor. The Farmer has to put everything he’s got into stepping on the clutch – I tried once. It didn’t budge. Stupid ancient old machinery, its headlight eyes held on with duct-tape. The Farmer did a quick shower and change and zipped past me on his way out the door to start his truck. Then he noticed the line-up of cows at the fence.
DIANA FISHER Accidental Farmwife “Gah!” I watched as he stomped over to the shed, climbed up onto the tractor and closed his eyes as he turned the key. Luckily it was mild last night and the engine decided to turn over. The cows seemed to sense he was in a hurry because they stayed out of his way. Usually they accompany him to the hay store and back to the feeder, running just out of harm’s way, nibbling at the loose bits of hay on the bale in the bucket. Today they stood back and watched until he filled their feeder and returned the tractor to the shed. They mooed softly as they gathered around the bale. He will have to put the second one up tomorrow.
The demands of life on the farm. Some are flexible and will wait ’til you get home. Others will not. We don’t want to risk a mutiny resulting in the cows jumping the fence and heading down the road, in search of hay. We are still waiting for the other nine cows to give birth this season. I hope they are pregnant, or the bull will be given his walking papers. These concerns are on my mind in March of 2016. Ten years ago this month, I was living at a friend’s apartment in Taiwan, sleeping on an inflatable mattress on the floor. My bags were already packed and I had my ticket home in my backpack. I was equal parts nervous and excited, for what the future would hold. Every morning I got up in the mist and climbed to the roof, where I did some quick stretches beneath a potted banana palm. Then I showered and dressed and walked to the
subway, which I took to work in the middle of the city of Taipei. Most of the route was suspended above the city, and I watched the busy streets crammed with buses, taxis and dozens of scooters passing beneath us. Outside my office building I bought my favourite breakfast: a tuna dan bing (crepe with egg, tuna and peanut butter inside, drizzled with oyster sauce) from a street vendor. I ate it at my desk as I worked on the articles in that month’s edition of the English-teaching magazine that I was editing. Lunch usually came in the form of a Bento box and dinner was Thai or Indian food on the way home. Sometimes I went to the gym, especially if it was a bad day for smog. My favourite hangouts were the movie theatre and the bookstore. I spent a lot of time alone, not making eye contact or engaging anyone in conversation. It was pretty easy, because the locals didn’t want me to challenge their English. It was a rather silent, insular existence when I wanted it to be.
the small suitcases that contained my life into a taxi headed for the airport. I had no idea what awaited me at home. I couldn’t even imagine what life would be like in 10 years. The decade has gone incredibly fast. I find myself wondering what blessings and sorrow the next will hold. Email: dianafisher1@ gmail.com. Order your copy of the book at: www.dianafisherbooks.com
A few times during that last month as I lay trying to sleep, my brain would fantasize about my homecoming. My sister and I had planned to surprise my family, and I wondered how my daughters would react. I had been gone three years. On my last day in Taiwan I left my gym membership card and subway pass to a colleague. Several friends gave me a good send-off (known as a “leaving do”) and helped load

And today’s special is duck Many of you no longer need an alarm clock to awake early in the morning. With winter’s gifts rapidly succumbing to the will of the sun, naked fields and liberated water are attracting waves of migrating geese whose cacophony at dawn is enough to wake the dead. Flocks of Mallards, Green-winged Teal, American Wigeon, Northern Pintails, and other puddle ducks are also on the

move, filling to capacity snowmelt ponds and river floodplains. Most of the waterfowl are heading north to their breeding grounds after spending the winter along southern coasts or in the Central Plains. However, because northern ponds and lakes are still locked in ice, these travellers will remain in our area for several weeks, and while their numbers build (a phenomenon known as “staging”), the migrating waterfowl are food for a number of animals. Recently I saw two very different animals trying to attain a waterfowl meal. The first was a Bald Eagle. Now, eagles are opportunists when it comes to dining. Many eat fish, which they typically capture by swooping low over water and snatching with their massive talons. Ospreys, which will soon return to our area, capture fish by diving in feet first. Eagles also employ that technique, especially when capturing diving ducks. The eagle I saw was four years old. It looked very much like a full adult (the distinctive white head, white tail, and dark brown body take five years to attain) except it bore a dusky band near the tip of
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way its tail. At first I thought it was trying to capture fish, for, after hovering over the water, it would plunge in feet first. Twice it went completely under except for the tips of its massive wings. Then I saw the object of its intent. Just after the eagle emerged from its second dive, a male Common Goldeneye surfaced a few metres away. The duck exploded into flight, and the eagle quickly gave chase. But it was no contest. With its pointed wings the goldeneye shot into overdrive, soon leaving its pursuer far behind.
MICHAEL RUNTZ
This Bald Eagle is in hot pursuit of a Common Goldeneye. A few days ago I visited Wolfe Island with the hopes of finding a Gyrfalcon, the largest and most northern falcon in the world. Gyrfalcons occasionally come south to our area and when they do, ducks are often on their menu. In fact, just before writing this column I received a call from my friend Jon Ruddy excitedly informing me that he had just seen a Gyrfalcon (his first ever!) chasing Mallards near Barrhaven. I didn’t find a Gyrfalcon, but I did see something equally exciting. As I passed by a field full of geese I noticed a medium-sized,
dark brown mammal sitting in the middle of it. Expecting to see a Groundhog, I raised my binoculars. To my surprise I saw a Fisher! Years ago I watched a Coyote stalking Canada Geese in a field near Renfrew, but I’ve never heard of a Fisher hunting geese. Now, it certainly is possible that the Fisher wasn’t hunting geese but was merely travelling across the field to reach another woodlot. And when it encountered the geese, it simply had to stop to take a closer gander! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Winter departs these parts at 12:29 a.m. March 20 and with the amount of daylight increasing by about three minutes a day it shouldn’t be long before the snow will have disappeared and the golfers will
be out on local courses. The Weather Network predicts a cool first week of spring, followed by more spring-like warmer weather after Easter. “Central and Eastern Canada will have to endure a few parting shots of winter over the coming weeks before warmer temperatures burst
onto the scene in April,” said Weather Network chief meteorologist Chris Scott in a news release. As well as above normal temperatures, The Weather Network predicts below normal precipitation for Ontario, southwestern Quebec and parts of the Prairies this spring.
Turn out the lights this Saturday Everyone is being encouraged to experience the joys of darkness for an hour this Saturday evening. The 10th annual Earth Hour power conservation effort takes place from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on March 19. People are asked to reduce their power usage as much as possible in the hour being touted as the larg-

Carp River water levels expected to peak this week Water levels along the Carp River were expected to peak by this Friday, March 18, according to a release by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. Mild weather and precipitation expected over the week will result in increasing flows along ditches, smaller creeks and rivers, said the MVCA in a release on March 11. Flows and levels along the Carp River are steadily increasing and are expected to peak in the next few days with no significant flooding expected over that time frame. Residents are strongly urged to stay off all ice covered water bodies and to

remind children about the dangers of playing on or near ice covered surfaces or fast flowing water in ditches and smaller creeks. Hypothermia is a major concern for anyone playing in areas where they could potentially fall into open water. Residents in low-lying areas, historically susceptible to flooding, should take the necessary precautions to protect their property, such as: • ensuring sump pumps are clear and in good working condition; • removing or securing items that might float away as flows increase. Additional statements will be issued when or if
conditions are expected to change significantly from this outlook, said the MVCA. Daily water levels and flows are available on the MVCA website at mvc. on.ca/water-levels. The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority flood forecasting and warning program monitors weather conditions, snowpack water content, estimates expected river flows and water levels and issues flood advisories or warnings as required. MVCA provides early warning and continuous monitoring to municipal and provincial emergency response personnel through a flood event.

Ottawa police missing person unit feeling pinch of staffing shortage on? What can we do to make this stop?’” said Rushford. That’s why building a rapport with those kids who are considered “frequent flyers” is essential, but remains a challenge given staffing limitations. “Right now, with one person doing over 2,000 missings in a year, you can’t get out to do that,” Rushford said.

The temporary reassignment of one of two Ottawa police investigators who handle thousands of missing person investigations every year has left the unit even more shortstaffed than usual. As a result, Sgt. Reno Rushford, who heads up the unit, and his lone investigator, are unable to focus on cold cases. “If we’ve got 16 on the board missing ... instead of two people going through and making sure everyone’s covered, I’ve got one person looking at everyone now,” said the 29-year Ottawa police veteran who has been leading the unit for just over a year. “It’s very difficult. It’s hard to get in a car and go start seeing people because you have to prioritize, obviously.” His reassigned officer, who left late last year to help offset the department’s patrol staff shortage, is expected to return in May. In his absence, the small team must rely on other units, such as patrol officers and district investigators. “When they do have the bodies to be able to go looking for people, then they definitely do help, especially af-
NO PLANS TO ADD STAFF

Sgt. Reno Rushford, head of the Ottawa police missing person unit, says the temporary reassignment of one of the unit’s two officers means fewer resources and time to investigate more than 2,000 missing person cases every year. ter hours and weekends – they take good carriage of the files,” Rushford said of the district officers, who are assigned to different geographic areas within city limits. SIX OFFICERS THE IDEAL
Ideally, Rushford’s remaining constable would like to follow up on each case herself. “In a perfect world, I’d settle for
three at the lower end,” he said of his need for more officers. “I wouldn’t mind four, five, six.” Three would mean each officer could get out of the office and engage with chronically missing youth, who make up the bulk of the caseload. “Oh, you’ve been gone 30 times in the last month? I’d love to be able to go and sit down and (say), ‘Let’s have a chat here. What’s been going
His unit is dealing with “a sizable increase” in cases. In 2014, the unit fielded 2,500 reports, while last year, it dealt with 2,739 cases. With a six-officer unit, Rushford said officers could work staggered shifts to cover the entire day and investigate more files. Despite the pressure, there are no immediate plans to add more officers, said Insp. Joan McKenna, who oversees the unit. “We will always be investigating missing persons to a certain extent, but we always have the resources should (the risk factors) escalate to another level,” she said. “So we’re not going to augment (the unit) at this time.” After-hours reports are triaged, with patrol officers assigned to fol-

low up to gauge the urgency of the case and a missing person’s risk level. Officers from the emergency services unit can be assigned at any hour to search for an elderly person, for example, who has walked away from their residence and may be at risk due to extreme weather conditions. Mental state is also a possible factor, and missing children are priority cases. “High risk guarantees immediate attention,” said McKenna. “It all depends on what are the risks of each individual call.” FREQUENT FLIERS
The unit’s caseload runs the gamut – from looking into international cases such as a parent refusing to return a child to their other parent in Ottawa, to following up on leads for other Canadian police departments. The majority of the investigations involve youth who fail to return to their group homes before curfew. Rushford’s unit often turns to the human-trafficking section to ask officers there to keep an eye out for a missing kid. They have the expertise, experience and connections that make them an invaluable partner. See COLD, page 15
Cold cases could be reviewed with more manpower: sergeant “My one person can’t do that,” Rushford said. In 2014, 29 per cent of the unit’s missing person files involved youth living in Ottawa’s group homes. That number climbed to 32 per cent between January and September last year. At least 75 per cent are repeats. Social media and cellphones have become a means to track down missing youth. “It’s better now that we have more tools available to us,” Rushford said, adding that activity on a youth’s Facebook account can help police determine if a teen is in trouble. His unit also relies on human-trafficking investigators, the police mental-health unit, as well as school resource officers, who have proven indispensable in connecting with teens. “They actually deal with the kids, which is what I’d like my investigators to be able to do,” Rushford said. “But we don’t have the time to do it.” With an upswing in Ottawa’s aging population, the specialty unit is fielding more and more reports of missing seniors – many of them elderly patients who have walked away from hospitals, psychiatric facilities and retirement residences. But it can be challenging for officers to gain timely access to details that can help officers track someone down. Police far too frequently receive conflicting or out-
dated information about a senior’s medical condition. There have also been times when retirement home staff insist they can’t access a resident’s file without a manager – which can be a roadblock after hours. “It’d be nice to know when you walk in: What bank does he deal with? What’s his cellphone (number)? Is he on any kind of registry? What is his actual medical condition diagnosed by a doctor?” said Rushford. Encouraging retirement staff to share relevant information can be a tough sell, with some managers uneasy about revealing information. “We’re trying to save someone’s life here,” said Rushford, adding that a person can be found more quickly and tens of thousands of dollars in police time saved if certain details are shared from the get-go. With seniors trying to stay in their homes longer, the unit also regularly fields calls about individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s who have walked away. “Fifty years ago everyone on your street knew everybody,” said Rushford. “Today, you can walk by the people that live right across the street or next door ... and nobody will even know who that is. “So that’s part of the problem too.” Technology can help track down missing seniors, but the onus is on retirement home officials, families and caregivers to adopt it, the sergeant
said. The available technology ranges from a GPS-enabled cellphone application to door alarms. Identification bracelets can also help, Rushford noted. COLD CASES
With the unit’s staffing pressures, prioritizing cases remains key. Rushford and his lone investigator don’t have the time to open or review unsolved or cold cases. There are files that “we should be looking at once a year ... get fresh eyes looking at them,” Rushford said. “However, with our manpower we just can’t do that.” There are currently at least seven missing person files that have run cold, though there are 11 listed on the Ottawa police website. Rushford said some of those are being handled by major crime officers, who investigate homicides or suspected cases of foul play. Another seven files involve suspected parental abductions of children taken out of Canada. Often times, cold cases, such as that of Justin Rutter, will make the news on the anniversary of when the person was reported missing. The 14-year-old was reported missing by his family after he failed to return to his Lowertown home on Oct. 8, 2009. Unless a new lead or tip comes in, the unit doesn’t have the time to sift through
historic files, including Rutter’s case, said Rushford. With a larger missing person unit, more officers could be dedicated to reviewing cold cases, conduct follow-up calls and chase leads, he said. “With one person, unless something specific comes

Rushford was assigned to the team. However, McKenna acknowledged that any followup examination of a cold case is usually only spurred on by a tip. “If there is new information that does come forward, then we will do work to follow that up,” she said.

Students serve up good time for a good cause at coffee house Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Grades 7 and 8 students at Huntley Centennial Public School hosted a coffee house on March 9 to raise funds for the school’s adopted village in Tanzania. Attended by about 200 people, the event raised about $2,500. Those funds will be added to the $1,200 raised through the school’s We Create Change activities, said teacher Marg Graff. The funds will be invested into any of the five different pillars – health, education, food security, clean water, and alternative income – the village
chooses, said Grade 7 student Madison Broadhurst. “They decide where to invest the money,” she said. The holistic approach of giving the money directly to the village lets them take the lead on where they believe the investment is needed, said Graff, the main organizer of the coffee house. “It’s really encouraging,” she said. “We are so grateful to our Huntley students, their families and the community for their extraordinary support of the people of Tanzania. This donation will go a long way in helping our partner community in the Arusha Region.”

Declining enrolment leads to public school job cuts Staff report details cuts in academic, administrative departments, with more reductions to come Megan DeLaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
Public school board staff presented a report on March 1 that painted a more detailed picture of the positions to be cut in the 2016-17 school year. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s latest staffing report outlines a reduction of 89 positions, but says that 50 additional cuts are necessary. Of the 89 cuts, some are positions provincially mandated to meet classroom size requirements, because student enrolment is expected to drop by 300 elementary students and 25 secondary students in the 2016-17 academic year. The rest of the cuts, including support staff and administration, are up to the discretion of the board. The report said some
cuts – like those of 27 provincially mandated elementary teaching positions and two provincially mandated secondary positions – are the direct result of declining enrolment. “In spite of what we thought was an extremely conservative projection last year for elementary (enrolment), we saw that we’ve lost kids at a number of grade levels, not just in the kindergarten grades,” said Mike Carson, the board’s chief financial officer and superintendent of facilities. While previous reports by staff suggested that 35 discretionary teaching positions should be cut, the most recent report calls for 55 reductions, including 14 resulting from the recently approved changes to French language instruction in kindergarten and the learning disability program.
cretionary academic staffing cuts are expected to save $5 million.
These 55 reductions include 42 elementary positions, 9.5 secondary positions and four school administrator positions. Discretionary cuts – targeting positions that aren’t bound by provincial class size requirements – come as the board faces major budget pressures, including the challenge of saving $7 million in staffing costs in the upcoming school year. The board originally needed to curb spending by $14.4 million, but saved $4.4 million by restructuring the extended day program fee structure, French instruction in kindergarten and the learning disability program. The board expects to save another $2.5 million to $3 million through service and utility efficiencies, leaving the remaining $7 million. Board staff said that dis-
LEARNING RESOURCE TEACHERS
Beyond teaching positions, board staff suggested that discretionary cuts should include staffing at adult high school, elementary level English as a second language, and teachers assigned to help students with hearing or visual impairments. Staff suggested that 11 learning resource teacher
positions could be cut, and admitted that students could feel the effect of that loss inside of the classroom. “Although this reduction will have some impact on services available in schools … staff will work closely with (human resources staff) and principals to maximize the effectiveness of the learning resource teacher and learning support teacher positions,” the report said, adding that it would ensure “that allocations are equitable across schools.”
Cutting several viceprincipal positions is also recommended in the report. According to staff, the remaining 50 cuts not outlined in the report could affect positions outside of classrooms, like central and school-based administrative, clerical and technical positions, supervisory staff, education assistants, professional staff, maintenance and senior administration. Board staff will present their final recommendations during the March 22 committee of the whole meeting.

Hydro One Ombudsman opens office for complaints
Thanks Ottawa, you bring out the best in us.
This award is especially gratifying because it’s based exclusively on the great ratings and reviews of Ottawa homeowners like you. If you voted for us, thank you!.
West Carleton residents and others across Ontario have a new place to register complaints about their electricity service. Hydro One Ombudsman Fiona Crean opened an office for complaints Monday. “This is the beginning of a new relationship between Hydro One and the public,” she said. “I am delighted that the public, including the company’s 1.3 million customers, can now turn to my office if they are unable to resolve their problems with Hydro One. I am here to provide them with a confidential, impartial and independent review of their complaints.” The new Ombudsman reports to the Board of Hydro One, and “has its full support.” Board chair David Denison says, “a renewed focus on customer service is an integral part of the company’s future. It is one of the ways we are transforming Hydro One
into an innovative, high performance company.” Crean says she is focused on delivering fairness, not just for the utility’s customers, but for every member of the public affected by Hydro One’s services. “When I review a complaint, I will be looking at whether Hydro One’s action or decision was fair, but also whether the process leading to it was fair, and whether disadvantaged groups were treated fairly.” The Hydro One Ombudsman will also be undertaking system investigations. “Systemic investigations look at the root causes of problems,” says Crean. “These can help far more people than the resolution of an individual complaint and are also the best way to improve the efficiency and operations of Hydro One.” “The establishment of an Ombudsman role for Hydro
One is an important part of the company’s journey towards becoming a leader among North American utilities,” said Mayo Schmidt, president of Hydro One. “We want people to enjoy positive, respectful and fair interactions with the company – on the phone, on the job and in the communities we serve. Ensuring customers, stakeholders and the public have access to an impartial and independent dispute resolution process supports this aim and will ultimately make the company better.” Crean says her office will be accessible to everyone who needs to resolve problems. Customers can phone 1-844-608-8756 (or 416-3451505) or visit the website at hydrooneombudsman.com to get more information. “We will get back in touch quickly, and update people about the course of their complaint,” said Crean.

When a family starts over, they often have nothing. No beds, no kitchen cutlery, no dining room table. Helping With Furniture, an Ottawa charity, has been helping families and individuals start over for years by giving donated household items and furniture to those getting a fresh start. As Syrian refugees land in Ottawa the demand for their services, the only free service of the type in the city, has intensified. “We rallied the troops, and there’s been an insane amount of volunteers,” said volunteer Jennifer Perehinec-Catana. “So in terms of the ramp up, it’s pretty extreme.” The volunteer base has grown from 100 to about 200 people over the past few

months. The group also outgrew their warehouse on Canotek Road, and have had donated PODS Storage units to help with the overflow, as well as a new east-end warehouse off Star Top Road, which is space donated by Merkburn Holdings. The bottleneck for the organization now is transporting donations into the warehouses and to the people who receive them. Helping With Furniture has asked those who make donations to try and drop off items if possible. They’re able to borrow a truck from Penske Truck Rental for the Wednesday night and Saturday morning volunteer sessions, but it’s not enough to move everything. But they are giving a significant boost to the many people and families they’ve been able to help. People are referred through service workers, or refugee sponsors can file an application on be-
half of a family they’re sponsoring. When they are approved, they get a checklist, where they enter names of family members and check off what items are required. Helping With Furniture can’t always provide everything to every family – there are lots of items they’re running low on – but volunteers do their best to package together a complete home set. Currently, there is a high need for all sorts of donations, but especially new or gentlyused bedding, small appliances and beds. “Every donation you do, every drop off, people are amazed,” Perehinec-Catana said. An Ottawa resident, who did not want to be named, was at the east-end warehouse on March 2 to pick up furniture for his family, Syrian refugees currently living with him. They were sponsored by a local church and arrived in Canada in January, and brought

very few belongings with them. “With the help of the local community, we managed to rescue him to start a new life,” he said. The eight family members have all been crammed into his family’s home, sleeping three to a bed, but several were about to get their own townhouse. He showed up with his brothers to pick up new beds, dressers, and other furniture to help his family get started in their new home. “When they left Syria, they just thought of safety. They left everything,” the man said. “Look what the community is doing. They’re giving a new life to these people.” Donations are accepted at Helping with Furniture on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Volunteers are also welcomed at the same times.

One of the pillars and greatest proponents of west Ottawa businesses over the past six years is packing up and heading west. “I’m following my heart,” said Rosemary Leu, executive director of the West Ottawa Board of Trade just a few days after being bid a warm farewell by much of the business community at the West Ottawa Business Excellence Awards on Feb. 25. “You will truly be missed Rosemary,” said WOBT chair Mark Nisbett at the end of the awards night, after Leu was given a bouquet of flowers. It had been an emotional time for Leu already, with the

Turned out she got the call late on Feb. 26. “So I have even more reasons to come back here and visit, so I will be back,” said Leu. “I’m trying not to say goodbye.” Leu has been working

for the West Ottawa Board of Trade for six years, after working for several other membership-based organizations. However, it was the board of trade, then known as the Kanata Chamber of Commerce, that gave her a chance to really get to know west Ottawa. “I really had that opportunity to really be part of something in the community where I live and that’s meant a lot to me,” she said. Over the years, Leu oversaw the board’s name change to the West Ottawa Board of Trade, and most recently the amalgamation of the board of trade with the former Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce. All told, membership at the WOBT has gone from just over 300 to about 540 during her tenure. While she said some of her proudest moments have been when the board could support local organizations such as the Capital City Condors, she said her number one pointer for her replacement

would be to remember that the board is a membership organization. “We do a lot of good things and great things in the community and that’s tremendously important, but the members come first,” she said. Leu said she is planning to drive the 4,500 kilometres to her new home along with her youngest son and two dogs. She is hoping to leave in April, she said. In the mean time, a selection committee to find her replacement has already been formed. She said she is happy to leave the board of trade stronger than it was, with a great board of directors and fantastic staff. “I would like to stay in touch with as many people as I can,” said Leu, who is still figuring out how she will cope without her friends and certain amenities. “I would love everybody to visit me, but not all at once, and I think I said this at the gala the other night: please bring Starbucks.”

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, centre, hosted her annual International Women’s Day celebration on March 8, bringing together dozens of women, including Lynne Hamilton, left, Ottawa-based national chair of Equal Voice, Eva MacLeod, Hunt Club Park-area resident, Kimothy Walker, former CTV News Ottawa anchor, and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. those who do have paying jobs make three-quarters of what their male colleagues earn in the same position and with the same education, Deans said while wearing a white Equal Voice T-shirt with the words “… because it’s 2016.” During Deans’ event, organizers with Equal Voice, announced that over the next
three weeks there will be a social media campaign driving home the message that more women need to be elected at all levels of political office in Canada. The campaign coincides with a fundraiser. All proceeds raised through the sale of specially designed T-shirts will help spread the message pro-
moting gender equality. “While we have come so far ... we’re not there yet,” said Kimothy Walker, former longtime CTV News Ottawa anchor, who served as keynote speaker during Deans’ celebration. “We’re spreading the message that the time is now.” For details on Equal Voice, go to equalvoice.ca.

Women not only can make it to the top, they are needed there, said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, one of four women serving on the 24-seat city council. “I think that is starting to resonate,” she said during her annual celebration to mark International Women’s Day on March 8. And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has helped reinforce that message with his appointment of an equal number of women and men to cabinet, she told the crowd of women who gathered in the ballroom at a high-rise on Rivergate Way. “But we still have a long way to go. In 2015, the World Economic Forum predicted that it would take – get this – until 2133 to achieve global gender parity,” she said. The theme of International Women’s Day this year is pledge for parity, which is a cause that hits to close to home for the longtime city councillor. “Tell me if I’m asking too much – I for one am not willing to wait 117 years for women to take up 50 per cent of the seats on Ottawa city council,” said Deans, who encourages more women to get involved and make a difference, serving as mentors to young women. “I think we can do better than that.” The United Nations is campaigning to speed that up, and Deans said it’s possible that Ottawa city council could see an even gender split by 2030. Boards and institutions across Canada have vowed to actively recruit women for top positions. In 2015, 56 per cent of Canada’s largest companies adopted policies to address the deficit of women on their boards, which Deans said is encouraging. But that leaves more than 40 per cent that still need to embrace change. Research shows those women in leadership roles are making a huge difference, that they often outperform their male counterparts in various fields, such as sales, she noted. But worldwide, half of women are unemployed and

Local public health capacity could be at risk, Dr. Brent Moloughney told the Ottawa Board of Health on Feb. 8. Provincial Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Eric Hoskins released a discussion paper in December, entitled Patients First: A Proposal to Strengthen Patient-Centred Health Care in Ontario. The proposal would see medical officers of health and public health services funded and integrated under the control of Local Health Integration Networks. Right now LHINs plan and fund local healthcare. Ottawa is part of the Champlain LHIN, which covers much of eastern Ontario. There are 14 LHINs across the province.
Critics say the LHINs never lived up to their names because they didn’t truly integrate healthcare services. Moloughney, who works as a public health consultant, said it’s difficult to give specifics on the situation because the discussion paper is so high level. He said the context is different than regional health authorities across the country, though there are examples of the public health boards being stripped and a loss of funding to public health. “Public health focus can shift to delivery of services, which can include a net reduction in public health capacity,” he said. The discussion paper attempts to deal with gaps in patient care and access to primary care. In addition to dealing with public health, the dis-
cussion paper puts community care access centres – which deal with in-home care and other support services – under the purview of the LHINS. The idea is to make the expanded regional health networks accountable directly to the ministry. The Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario made a statement in December calling for public health departments to be connected to LHINs. The statement said the proposal is the next phase of the health system and evolution and lauds the idea of bringing all parts of the health system under a single jurisdiction for planning and performance reporting. In light of Moloughney’s presentation, the board opted to write a letter to the minister making recommendations about any health system transformation.

Ottawa Hospital unveils expansion plans at open house Residents come out in droves to have their say on new site Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Ottawa Hospital CEO Jack Kitts started the March 7 public consultation for the Civic campus expansion with an apology. “We are sorry for letting the ‘where’ overshadow ‘what’ we are going to build together,” he said of a planned expansion. Nearly a-year-and-half ago, the federal Conservative government announced a plan to build more Civic campus buildings on part of the Central Experimental Farm. Kitts said the group working on the hospital’s master plan weren’t aware of the impact of putting the hospital on the northwest corner of the farm. The land has been earmarked for soil research, he said, adding that potential impact on the land the hospital chooses is one of the selection criteria. “I want to apologize for the delay to get here,” Kitts said, of the public consultation. Kitts painted a picture of a 21st-century “health village” that will focus on wellness and patient quality of life. The new facility will have walkways and gardens, as well as lots of light and bigger patient rooms. Kitts said there are parts of the existing hospital that have to be closed permanently as they are no longer suitable for use. The hospital’s helicopter pad is across the street on Carling Avenue. That means critical patients have to be transported across the busy road by ambulance – paramedics have a key that turns the traffic lights red. Once the patient is in the hospital, they have to moved to intensive care, or go across the campus if they need an MRI. For a trauma unit, that handles cases where minutes matter, this doesn’t
work, said Kitts. The hospital simply can’t expand on the existing ninehectare site, he said. The team of stakeholders working on the hospital’s master plan have short listed four sites: • The original site that was put forward in 2014 at the northwest corner of the experimental farm. • A “reconfiguration” of the 2014 plan to deal with concerns over the farm’s scientific work. • The former Sir John Carling building at the northeast corner of the farm, near Dow’s Lake. • Using the Tunney’s Pasture government office complex. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said the public consultation is just the start of the process. “The current hospital has served the city for nearly a century,” he said, adding the whole process – from the meeting to construction – may take up to a decade. Hundreds of residents made it to the event, many of whom spoke against using the farm as the site of a new hospital. Chris Bradshaw, a resident of Sandy Hill, suggested the northeast corner of Lebreton Flats because of its location close to the core and good access to transit. Cameron Love, executive vice-president for the hospital, said organizers would consider the suggestion. Another resident suggested the federal government’s Booth Street complex, next to Highway 417, but both Kitts and Love dismissed that site because of its small size. The criteria for the new site is between 20 and 24 hectares, they said. Bob Brocklebank said the current campus is an inefficient use of space and wondered why the hospital was now seeking twice the space. “Hospitals of the future tend to be more horizontal than vertical,” Kitts said, adding the days of concrete jungles are gone. One Blackburn Hamlet resident, Richard Hayter, who once drove to the campus to have four stents put
into his heart, supported expansion of the campus. He said it should be possible for some research programs to be shifted to other parts of the farm to accommodate the move. He said former Ottawa mayor Lorry Greenberg talked about using the farm for affordable housing and the city has long been trying to deal with the challenges associated with working around the Greenbelt. “I don’t know who to blame,” he said. “But someone should have thought about the possibility of the hospital expanding. A hospital is a pretty basic need, and there have been many conversations about institutional uses at the farm.” Hayter, who now works as a director of community relations for the Building and Construction Trades Council, said he worked on planning for the Greenbelt between 1964 and 1977. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who chartered a bus to take 25 residents to the meeting, said the community is split on whether or not the hospital should expand onto the farm. “There are some that feel it would be a trade off to make sure the hospital stays in the ward,” he said, adding he’s worked with neighbouring Coun. Riley Brockington to open the door to public opinion on any expansion. He said he’s happy to start the dialogue, but the hospital has to provide more concrete answers if they want to engage in a meaningful conversation with residents. He referenced the discussion around the vertical versus horizontal plan for a new building. “They’re going to have to do better than that,” he said of Kitts’ response. “Kitchissippi residents are smart and engaged and you really have to get down to the granular details.”

Next Arnprior blood clinic set for March 23 Every minute of every day someone in Canada needs blood. That’s why blood donor clinics held by the Canadian Blood Services, such as the one in Arnprior Wednesday, March 23, are so important. The clinic sponsored by the Rotary Club of Arnprior, will run from 1:30 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre.Book an appointment at blood.ca.
Much of the blood that is transfused every year is done under emergency or trauma situations. In Canada, hundreds of thousands of people each year receive blood components or blood products following accidents, during surgery or for cancer treatments, burn therapy, hemophilia and other blood-related diseases. In a recent poll, 52 per cent of Canadians say they, or a
family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment. The average amount of blood in one person is five litres or 10.5 pints. There are about 450 ml of blood in a unit.On average, 4.6 units of blood are required per patient In 2004-2005, Canadian Blood Services collected about 850,000 units of whole blood.
Nepean South Infrastructure Projects Open House Monday, March 21, 2016 Walter Baker Sports Centre, Upper Concourse, 100 Malvern Drive 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Residents are invited to attend an Open House at which four infrastructure projects planned for Nepean South will be presented. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the projects with the study teams and provide feedback.
Municipal Class Environmental Assessments (EA) These Municipal Class EA studies are being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act. Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Chapman Mills Drive Extension and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. The City of Ottawa has initiated the Chapman Mills Drive Extension (Longfields Drive to Strandherd Drive) and Bus Rapid Transit (Greenbank Road to west of Cedarview Road) EA Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation infrastructure requirements around the Barrhaven Town Centre area. The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. At this third and final Open House, participants will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the Recommended Plan. Residents are encouraged to provide comments by April 4. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/chapmanmillsextension. Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design for the expansion and retrofit of the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The existing facility is an online wet pond that was constructed in 1976. The facility will be retrofitted to meet current City of Ottawa and Ministry of Environment and Climate Change stormwater treatment standards and expanded to meet the demands of the development of Nepean South. At the Open House, participants will learn of the preferred alternative for expanding and retrofitting the facility. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/kennedyburnett. Greenbank Road Watermain The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design Study for the Greenbank Road watermain between Jockvale Road and south of the Jock River. The study will determine the most appropriate alignment for a 610 millimetre diameter transmission watermain including methodology for crossing the Jock River. The watermain will improve water supply and reliability in the Nepean South development area. Planning and construction of the watermain will be coordinated with the approved widening and realignment of Greenbank Road. The study is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA.
#StuStrong movement unites cancer-patient supporters ‘Stuntman’ Stu Schwartz was diagnosed with leukemia last month and began his treatment at the Ottawa Hospital. The diagnosis was one that shocked the MAJIC 100 Morning Show Host and Ottawa Senators PA announcer. “Being told you have cancer is never something you expect,” said the 41-year-old. “I was shocked, sad and angry. Though once the initial feelings passed, I became determined – determined to come out victorious and beat this,” said Stu. The news of Stu’s diagnosis, which he shared via his Facebook and Twitter accounts, quickly spread throughout the community. Within hours, the father of two had inspired the #StuStrong movement. “Once again we have been reminded of the power of the Ottawa community. When Stu shared his diagnosis, our city responded in an overwhelmingly positive way with hundreds of people coming forward asking how they can help those diagnosed with cancer,” said Richard Gray, vice-president and general manager of Bell Media Ottawa. That support came from all those Stu connected with: listeners, colleagues, the Sens

Army and the community at large. “It quickly became apparent that we needed to help Stu streamline the #StuStrong movement and assist him in directing all efforts to the area of the Hospital that meant the most to him: leukemia and stem cell research,” said Tim Kluke, president of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. “It was important to Stu, to know the community could support the hospital where he was receiving his care.” A partnership between The Ottawa Hospital, Bell Media, the Ottawa Senators and the Ottawa Senators Foundation quickly evolved. The Senators will be fully engaged in their support of #StuStrong, with a number of initiatives, one of which

Nepean Collector Sewer - Phase 2
will be a special game night on Tuesday, March 22 that will target awareness and raise funds for leukemia and stem cell research at The Ottawa Hospital. “Cancer touches all of us. The Senators hockey family is all too aware of this difficult and challenging reality,” said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. “I’ve known Stu for more than a decade and he has been there time and time again to help us with so many community and charitable initiatives. From my annual Melnyk Skate for Kids, to the Sens Soirée, to No More Bullies – Stu has been there to help everyone in our community. Now, it’s our turn to help Stu, his family and his fight against Leukemia. “Stu’s determination and overwhelmingly positive attitude is an inspiring reminder that cancer can be beaten.” The Ottawa Hospital Foundation has created a dedicated web page for the #StuStrong movement. All known community initiatives, including those organized by The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, the Ottawa Senators and the Ottawa Senators Foundation will be listed. “I want this to be an honest journey. So many people have been through this before and I know I’m certainly not the last of the warriors. I want to help rally this community to support all those undergoing cancer treatment at The Ottawa Hospital,” said Stu. “I hope my blogs, positive attitude and determination will help others who are taking on their own battle with cancer.” To find out more about how you can get involved, visit ohfoundation.ca or StuStrong.ca.

North Island Link Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design The City of Ottawa has initiated the North Island Link (NIL) Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and Functional Design Study. The main objective of this study is to link the existing watermain on Rideau Valley Drive to the proposed Manotick Watermain Link at the north end of Long Island. The NIL will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River. The project is identified in the City’s current Infrastructure Master Plan. The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class EA (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). In order to satisfy the requirements of the Class EA process, the identification and evaluation of a range of alternatives will be undertaken that focus on potential watermain alignments and connections with the existing watermain infrastructure in Manotick. The study will also include the selection of a preferred alternative and a functional design of the NIL as well as a functional design of a watermain that will provide a secondary water supply to residents of Hillside Gardens in Manotick. Consultation Information about the project will be available on ottawa.ca/northislandlink. Interested persons can provide comments at any time during the Class EA process. With the exception of personal information, comments received become part of the public record. Upon completion of this study, a report will be available for public review and comment. A Notice of Study Completion will be published at that time. For more information, or if you would like your name added to the mailing list, please contact: John Bougadis, M.A.Sc., P. Eng.

Bring down eBook prices for public libraries, government urged The Ottawa Public Library is pleased that the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has approved a resolution calling for action from the federal government on eBooks. The resolution requests the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development investigate restrictive eBook prices
to public libraries. It was moved by Tim Tierney on behalf of the City of Ottawa. “We are happy to see that municipal leaders from across Canada have recognized a need for action on library eBook pricing,” said Tierney, councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville and chair of the Ottawa Public Library Board. “More and more library
customers are looking to the convenience and flexibility of eBook borrowing, but the cost of providing them with materials they expect has been unsustainably high and has often come with unpredictable terms.” Libraries can pay three- to five-times more for eBooks than the consumer price from some multinational publishers. In other cases, publishers place
caps and time limits on use. This leads to fewer titles and fewer copies for readers to discover, despite growing demand and borrowing rates. Penguin Random House recently announced a plan to reduce library eBook pricing while public libraries have sent a public letter to publishers calling for them to develop a hybrid solution to this matter, which allows flexibility for

A weekly guide in legal matters
Buyer Beware The law in Ontario is pretty clear: “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. Therefore, most of the time the buyer can’t make a claim against the seller for any deficiencies discovered after closing. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose any defects that the seller is aware of. The only exceptions to this rule are serious hidden defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house or render the house unfit for human habitation. Hidden defects are also those defects that the seller is trying to conceal. Representations and Warranties The sellers of residential real estate in Ontario are not obliged to

‘Urban farmer’ raises edible insects Megan DeLaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
Business is already hopping for fledgling farmer Andrew Afelskie and his livestock, of which he hopes to have one million by June. Afelskie makes it seem easy to keep so many animals in a 9-by-12 metre space. Then again, his are only a few centimeters long. The Sandy Hill resident is in the business of crickets – edible crickets – and it’s not a far cry from what he was doing before he learned about insect farming. “Before this I was interning on several organic farms,” he said. “I was growing mostly vegetables at community supported agriculture farms and going to local farmers markets, and I thought, ‘I want my own traditional organic farm.’” What began as a passion for organic agriculture grew, reluctantly at first, into a less conventional venture when some friends told Afelskie about insect farming. Afelskie admits he resisted the idea initially, but came around quickly. “It just took me about a week of hopping on the Internet and researching it a bit,” he said. “And it just blew my mind how awesome insects are as a food source, for the future especially.” Business has been so good for Afelskie that, after starting GrowHop – his food-grade cricket farm – in his home last November with a modest
batch of bugs, he had to move his operation into a Nepean warehouse in January when he realized how high the demand is for his cricket flour. As his crickets mature, Afelski freeze-dries them and grinds them into a fine powder that he packages and sells as cricket flour. He said one company has approached him to supply 230 kilograms of cricket flour per month. Afelskie said that insects can also be farmed more sustainably, with a
smaller ecological footprint than traditional livestock like beef, pork and poultry. In terms of the amount of food yielded per kilogram of livestock feed, he said that crickets yield more than traditional livestock, with a ratio of one kilogram of crickets per 1.5 kilograms of feed. “Which is insanely efficient,” Afelskie said. “And not only that, but we can grow them indoors, all year round.” Combining two novel forms of
print, Afelskie said he actually likes the taste of cricket flour, which he describes as nutty and chocolaty, with notes of dandelion root and chicory. “They’re really good with carrot muffins. I guess the protein factor kind of makes it taste similar to nuts. It’s super interesting,” he said. He said it will take hard work and a lot of money to grow his operation enough to meet large-scale demand, so he’s turned to crowd funding to help boost GrowHop financially.

modern agriculture, Afelskie makes the best of his urban warehouse by practising urban farming, building upward instead of out. Afelskie stores his live crickets in rearing bins on industrial pallet racks – large steel shelving units often found in warehouses – two shelves high. As his stock of crickets – which he calls a herd – grows, he hopes to build upward as high as five shelves. By fall, one year after opening, he hopes to grow that population to three million crickets. More than just a dietary supplement with a small ecological foot-

Give dangerous waterways a miss on March Break: OPG When enjoying the outdoors over March break this week, remind your family and friends to stay clear of the areas near dams and generating stations, urges Ontario Power Generation. “March Break is a great time to head outside. How-
ever, waterways near hydro generating stations are not places for recreation,” said OPP president of renewable generation and power marketing in a news release. “Take some time to make your family and friends aware of the dangers near hydro generating facilities.”
Water levels and flows near hydro stations, such as Chats Falls, can change quickly as stations and dams respond to changing conditions. In areas where ice continues to form, it too can be dangerous as the fluctuating water levels can make
ice thin and weak. The OPP asks people to look for fences, buoys, booms and barriers that are in place to mark hazardous locations. Warning signs notify the public of dangerous places to avoid. Stay clear of these un-
safe areas, and respect the signs and barriers that are in place for your protection, says the OPG. “At OPG, safety is always our priority,” adds Martelli. “When near our generating facilities, please remember to stay clear, stay safe.”
OPG operates 65 hydroelectric stations and 240 dams on waterways across Ontario, from Kenora to Cornwall. For more information about water safety and educational resources for children, visit opg.com/ watersafety.

2016 Summer Camp Guide
Learning to cook: yummy! Lifestyle - If your children would like to try camp this summer, they’ll have lots to choose from, with camp themes ranging from traditional nature-based activities to specialized ones. If learning something new and unusual appeals to them, they can choose a camp that matches their interests. Cooking camp, for example, is a great option for children interested in the culinary arts. Health
There are so many good reasons for learning to cook. At this type of camp, your children will learn to appreciate one of the great pleasures of life while learning to eat healthily. Cooking a real meal teaches a child to follow a balanced diet that contains less fat, salt, and sugar than processed foods.
Submitted
Cooking camp benefits the whole family in more ways than one.
Autonomy
Recipes
Tasting
Going to cooking camp also helps children develop autonomy, as they discover new foods and different cooking techniques. They also learn to use utensils safely and follow good food handling practices, such as personal hygiene and food storage.
Every camp tackles a variety of culinary themes. There might be lessons on day-today cooking; French, Italian, or Asian cuisines; pastry making; and other specialties. The children prepare simple recipes, but they also discover some famous chefs’ secrets.
In addition, many cooking camps offer a mouth-watering formula for food-loving parents; children get to take home the dishes they prepared. That way, the whole family can enjoy tasting the recipes concocted by their budding chefs.

2016 Summer Camp Guide Reasons to think about summer now Pre-School to Professional
While it may seem like spring has just sprung, summer will be here before you know it. According to the education experts at Oxford Learning, that means that it’s time to start thinking about summer learning plans. “Summer learning is a critical – and often overlooked – part of students’ learning. By planning for summer learning now, parents will help their children avoid the summer learning brain drain,” says Nick Whitehead, founder and CEO of Oxford Learning. He offers these five reasons why planning for summer learning this spring is so important: 1. Summer is going to be here soon. Spring may have just begun, but before long, students will be studying for exams and handing in their final term projects, which means that it’s not too early to think about what kids are going to be doing this summer. 2. Summer can undo what children are learning right now. Without maintaining learning momentum and study skills over the summer break, students easily forget everything they’re working hard to learn right now, which means that next year, students need to repeat the same workbooks and materials they are learning right now. 3. Summer can have an impact on how children learn next year. After a summer off, it can take kids up to three months to get back into the swing of learning. That represents a huge amount of wasted learning opportunities, and it means that students are not up to their potential from as early as the first day back to class. 4. Kids want to learn in the summer. Research in summer learning studies shows that 56 per cent of students want to be involved in a summer program that helps them keep up with summer schoolwork or prepare for the next grade. 5. Summer programs fill up fast. Most

Summer and March Break Camps
Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs. What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.) Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few. Here are some general considerations: Your child›s interests
What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her. If your child is creative, then choose a camp that of-
fers arts and crafts. Camp choices are as varied as children themselves. Choose a camp with the specific focus geared toward your child. Day camp versus overnight camp
Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old. Only you can decide when the time is right. Convenient location
Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp. Cost
Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be mis-
leading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”. Research
With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started: 1. Who do you hire as counsellors? Are they experienced? How old are they? Are they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check? 2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care? Is there an additional cost for extended hours? 3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common. A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want. 4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory? 5. What do you do on rainy days? Are your facilities airconditioned? See QUESTIONS, page 49

Ottawans bust out the moves at fitness fundraiser Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Working up a sweat never felt so rewarding. Hundreds of people worked up a sweat for a good cause, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer survivors during the fifth and final Bust a Move Ottawa fitness fundraiser, held this year at the Ottawa Athletic Club on March 5. It generated $301,000, helping to bring the final total raised through Bust a Move to more than $1.5 million. “Everybody has put in so much time and effort and have really dedicated themselves to the cause,” said Jess Palmer, former NFL football player and New York City-based Good Morning America commentator, who served as the event’s celebrity fitness instructor. The much-needed dollars this year will help offset the cost of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s After the Bell pilot program, that is set to launch this coming
fall or next winter, which will allow cancer survivors to benefit from a free two-day retreat where they can learn how to transition back to regular life after they get the all-clear from their oncologists. Programs such as After the Bell and the foundation’s unique cancer coaching program, which pairs cancer-care experts with cancer patients and their relatives to help them navigate the daunting challenges they face following a diagnosis, serve as much-needed resources for the entire family, Palmer said after putting hundreds through their paces at the athletic centre on Lancaster Road. The event drew 200 participants on about 30 teams. Each team member was required to contribute a minimum of $1,000 to join in on the day’s fitness sessions, which ranged from yoga to aerobic workouts and kick-boxing. Palmer not only has a personal connection to Ottawa – he lived for almost two decades in Nepean’s Pineglen community, he has also been touched by cancer.
He lost a good friend, former New York Giants linebacker Quincy Monk, to an aggressive form of the disease last November. Monk was 36. “I went and visited him in North Carolina as he was struggling and going through it,” Palmer recalled. “That’s really when I realized how many people it affected.” The disease didn’t just impact Monk following his diagnosis, but also his wife and their young children and Monk’s parents and brother. “It was just heavy, very emotional for them,” Palmer said, adding that’s where programs offered by foundations come in to provide a holistic approach, helping families cope together. The After the Bell program will fill a gap for men and women trying to get back to their regular lives post-treatment, he added. “I think (cancer) impacts men and women very differently, physically and emotionally,” said Palmer. There may be confidence is-

They may be seen as more fragile due to their health issues, he said, when they just want to be treated as they were before they became sick. Cancer’s impact on Ottawans is staggering, said Palmer, adding that every two hours someone in Ottawa
is diagnosed with cancer, and that there are more than 7,000 new cases here every year. As well, every eight hours a woman living in Ottawa is diagnosed with breast cancer. “You’re not just affecting 7,000 people, you’re affecting 7000 people plus their circle,” Palmer said of the need for specialized care programs. “So it’s a lot.” For more information on programs provided by the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, go to ottawacancer.ca.

he had the run of the house, and especially liked helping Mother in the kitchen, doing little jobs like wiping the windowsills. I vowed we had the cleanest windowsills in all of Renfrew County, as all I had to do was tell Mother I was bored and there was nothing to do, and she would tell me to either get a cloth and wipe the windowsills, or get the ball of string and knit a dishcloth. I hated both chores with a passion. After they had been with us about two days, and after we had redded up the kitchen after supper, the table was cleared for the usual board

was trying her best to keep seven children from killing each other, as we fought for her attention. Well, it didn’t take long to hear that except for Fat Cora and Two Mile Herman, everyone at the Northcote School was felled with the measles. Miss Crosby refused to close the school, and my sister Audrey said we should send Ronny and Terry packing back to Montreal, spots and all. Of course, that didn’t happen, but for a long time after, that winter was referred to “the time those Lapointe kids brought the measles from Montreal, and infected the entire Northcote community.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

were there alright. There was hardly a square inch that was spared. Mother immediately phoned Mrs. Beam who everyone in Northcote called before getting old Doctor Murphy to come all the way out from Renfrew. Even over the phone, Mrs. Beam was able to confirm what Mother already expected: Terry had the measles and a good dose of them too! It took another day for the spots to show on Ronny, and he wasn’t at all pleased, and to say Father was overjoyed was a gross exaggeration. “Come all the way from Montreal and bringing the measles with them. A fine kettle of fish.” And then, all in perfect order, each one of us got the red spots, one after another. The last one to come down with them was my sister Audrey. She turned out to be the sickest, and was no help to Mother at all, who

Mother. No permission was needed from our teacher Miss Crosby. All Mother had to do was pack an extra sandwich and cookie in a brown paper bag, and send Ronny off. Young Terry was considered delicate, whatever that meant. But it gave him extra privileges, which didn’t sit well with his older and rambunctious brother Ronny. Ronny said it was all an act, and Terry could turn a ‘ sick spell’ off and on like a light switch. Ronny loved going to the Northcote School, and Terry was quite happy at home with Mother, where
games we played until it was time to go to bed. Ronny told Terry he couldn’t play Parcheesi because he couldn’t read and he couldn’t count. Terry started to cry and told Mother he didn’t feel well. Needless to say, Ronny said it was just an act, and Terry did that all the time when things didn’t go his way. Mother took Terry on her lap, and let him look through her scrap books, but nothing seemed to calm him down, and he kept asking “Aunty, itchy me,” which was his way of asking to have his back scratched, which he loved. Mother raised up his pajama top, and let out a yelp that I was sure they could be heard on the next farm. “Dear Mary and Joseph ... it’s the measles. He’s covered with them!” We all scrambled from our place at the table to have a look at Terry’s spots. They

They didn’t need much of an excuse for Aunt Helen and Uncle Herby to ship off my cousins Ronny and Terry to Northcote from Montreal. But rarely did they come in the dead of winter like they did that year. Uncle Herby said measles were raging in the city, and the only way to avoid the boys getting sick from them was to ship them off to Northcote. And so they arrived, and Aunt Helen stayed only long enough to unpack their suitcases and make a trip to Briscoe’s General Store for treats, and then she was back on the train to Montreal. Beds were shifted. And it always amazed me how Mother would make a few changes and any number of relatives could be bedded down. If that meant three to a bed, so be it. Ronny was old enough to go off with us to the Northcote School, but Terry would spend the day at home with

Gulliver was found living under someone’s porch trying to stay warm this winter. Gulliver is a large boy with lots of personality, he loves attention, and is very affectionate. He likes to hug you when you pick him up, and is quite content being carried in your arms. Gulliver could tolerate living with another cat as long as he has his own space. Do you have room in your family for this handsome teddy bear of a cat!!
