Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon has reimbursed the Ottawa Senators after she ac-cepted the gift of a $600 ticket to an Ontario Lib-eral fundraiser.

The Senators invited McCrimmon to attend the Ottawa Trillium Din-

ner at the Shaw Centre on Nov. 30 after she met with the team – a “very important business” in her riding, she said.

The Senators had purchased tickets for a table at the event, which acts as a fundraiser for the Ontario Liberal Party.

Tears still come easily to Leonard Braun, even in a crowded coffee shop.

A large man – at six-foot-eight – he has to pause every now and then as he remembers what he calls the hardest decision of his life: to have his seven-year-old dog, Echo, put down in December.

What hurts much more is that Braun believes Echo would still be alive if an animal hospital had not ejected him and his Ger-man Shepherd.

Because Ontario’s Vet-erinary Act requires vets to complete treatment of an animal in their care, Braun plans to file a complaint with the College of Veteri-narians of Ontario about

his visit to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital on Dec. 10.

None of the allegations regarding the animal hos-pital’s actions have been proven in a court of law.

NIGHTMARE

Braun said Echo woke him up on Dec. 10 at 2 a.m.

“He was making a high-pitched whine, like a shriek, that he’d never made be-fore in his life,” Braun said. “He couldn’t walk up stairs from the basement. I tried to touch him but he wouldn’t let me.”

He called some friends who arrived with a station wagon and Echo was taken to an animal hospital in the city’s west end.

“They said to take him to the Alta Vista Animal Hospi-tal,” Braun said, adding that the Alta Vista site has the only MRI machine for pets in the city. “That’s when the night-mare began.”

Echo was examined at the

Alta Vista Animal Hospital.Notes that Braun later re-

quested showed that a Dr. DeAbreu examined Echo and found he had “pain on palpi-tation of lumbar spine.” The notes also say two things were administered by injection: Hydro (probably hydroco-done, a painkiller) and Meta-cam, a non-steroidal anti-in-flammatory usually prescribed for dogs with joint pain.

Braun and Echo returned to their Kanata home, but later the same day, Echo was feeling worse.

“He could barely move his head,” Braun said.

After visiting a west-end animal hospital, Braun was told Echo had a problem with a disc in his spine, and to seek an MRI and treatment at the Alta Vista Animal Hospital.

Braun called the Alta Vista office and says a neurotechni-cian told him a vet there who is known as a specialist in ca-nine spinal surgery was “ready to go” and even if he was not at work, the doctor would be called in immediately. Braun took Echo to the

Alta Vista Animal Hospital, arriving around 5:30 p.m. with his pet and a friend.

At 7 p.m., Braun was told there were three dogs ahead of Echo awaiting treatment. He says he and the friend waiting with him asked again at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., but they received no information.

A little later, Braun said the

office manager asked him to step out of the waiting area. Braun said she pointed her finger at him.

“She said, ‘We’re denying you service, get out,’” Braun said.

Braun said Echo was rolled out of the animal hospital on a gurney by two vet techni-cians.

“He was muzzled; my

friends can tell you this. One tech grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and the other grabs him where he’s hurt-ing, and they just threw him in the back of the car,” he alleged.

See PET, page 5

Dog’s death prompts complaint about Alta Vista Animal Hospital

SUBMITTED

Leonard Braun is seen here with his dog, Echo, soon after he picked him up from the breeder seven years ago. Braun says an animal hospital in Ottawa denied Echo care – contrary to the Veterinarians Act – and he was forced to have Echo put down. The allega-tions have not been proven in a court of law.

Pet owner allegedly ordered to leave animal hospitalContinued from page 4

Brian Element, a friend of Braun’s, was there when Echo was rolled out. It was Element’s car that the animal hospital staff put Echo into.

“They picked him up and shoved him in,” he alleged. “He screamed in pain. I’ll never forget that sound.”

Element said he asked to talk to the office manager.

“She didn’t give us any reason, just that they were re-fusing service,” he said, add-ing he even offered to stay at the animal hospital and have Braun leave.

His suggestion was also refused without any explana-tion, Element said.

In a panic, Braun called other animal clinics around the city seeking help, but says he was told the same thing over and over again; “They all said Alta Vista (Animal Hospital) is the only place in Ottawa (that can do the sur-gery).”

Braun left the Alta Vista Animal Hospital at 10:30 p.m., returning to the first hospital he had visited earlier in the day.

“There I had to face the hardest decision of my life,” Braun said.

Further MRI and surgical options could be available in Montreal or Toronto, Braun said, but the cost was estimat-ed at $8,000 to $10,000. Echo would also face a drive that would clearly be painful.

“I had no idea what to do. I’m still beside myself,” Braun said a month later, with tears in his eyes. “At midnight he

was put down.”Braun recalls how smart

Echo was.“He could get a carton of

milk from the fridge,” he said.

He said a purebred Ger-man Shepherd like Echo has a life expectancy of 12 to 14 years. He purchased him from a breeder he knew well, near his childhood home of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., who imports dogs from Eu-rope.

“I took him to the vet every

five or six months, he had all his shots,” Braun said. “My friends called him a marsh-mallow. He was super laid back.”

Braun has paralegal train-ing and knew evidence of the Alta Vista Animal Hospital’s conduct would have to be pre-served if he decided to take le-gal action or seek profession-al sanctions from the College of Veterinarians of Ontario for the way Echo was treated.

On Dec. 11, the morn-ing following Echo’s death, Braun delivered a legal let-ter to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital requesting a number of records that would have been created during Echo’s treatment, including video-tapes from security cameras that might show how Echo was treated during his stay and during his removal from the Alta Vista hospital by two technicians.

OPINION Connected to your community

As a professional writer, I can tell you that it is simultaneously one of the best and the worst

occupations one could have. I could never quite put my fin-

ger on it until another professional writer – one you probably know much better than me – nailed it: to make money from your creations is one of the best ways to kill in-spiration, writes Elizabeth Gilbert in her latest book, Big Magic.

Gilbert is best known for Eat, Pray, Love, an anecdotal novel which documented her post-divorce soul-searching and subsequent recovery. But her latest tome – part writer’s memoir, part self-help book – has an entirely different feel. For anyone who’s tried to create something, for plea-sure or vocation, Gilbert offers a straight-talking guide book to lure you out of those moments of self-doubt, self-pity and self-hatred to actually create.

Make no mistake. Gilbert doesn’t promise you’ll become a best-selling author like she ac-cidentally did when she poured her heart and soul into Eat, Pray, Love. In fact, she warns against making that end the means to start creating.

For her, the success of the book came precisely because she wrote such an honest, heart-wrenching – and often funny and self-deprecat-ing – portrayal of the rollercoaster of emotions and experiences she witnessed after her marital break-down, without contemplating an audience or a paycheque at the end of the journey.

What Gilbert does offer is a brutally honest assessment of the artist at work, many elements of which hold us back from actually

creating. She defines inspiration (Big Magic) as these ideas just floating all around us, with the sin-gular goal of being materialized.

When we are ready to receive inspiration – generally when we’re relaxed and open to new ideas – we may just get lucky enough for inspiration to choose us. If we’re closed, depressed, worried about failure or worried about success, we may inadvertently send a mes-sage to inspiration to go choose the next creator.

Gilbert kills the notion of the tortured artist, which is probably one of my favourite elements of Big Magic, since I’ve had a lot of firsthand experience with that persona. Creation should come from a place of love and it should be enjoyable, she writes. Specifi-

cally, the idea is that we get into our flow as artists when we’re nurturing creation and engaging in the creative process in a loving way, the same way we’d nurture a child.

That’s not to say that creating isn’t hard.

Gilbert acknowledges the wide range of self-defeating thoughts that enter into the process. I can tell you, at the worst time in my professional life as a writer, every word, every sentence was a chore. I may have been writing about insurance products or paint drying (seriously, one of the first trade magazine articles I ever wrote was a lengthy feature on curing industrial coatings), but the niggling thoughts in the back of my head were, “You’re a fraud; what makes you think you

can write about this; you’ll never work again; the editor will read this and chuck it out; why did you bother starting this project; you’ll never finish this project.”

And, of course, the critics are always out there. I receive emails weekly from readers of this col-umn. Some are nice. Others have been filed away in a legal file for being not-so-nice.

I’ve been attacked on Twitter; and sometimes my friends and loved ones have said to my face, “This isn’t your best work.” Subjective criticism is a harsh reality if you have the guts to put your creation out to the world, says Gilbert, but it shouldn’t be a show-stopper.

Creating something from nothing is hard and it requires a lot of discipline. If you want to create, you must prioritize the time to sit down and do it. Thinking about things does not make a person creative; creating things does.

But Gilbert argues that, despite the time discipline and stick-to-itiveness required to make inspiration materialize, creation should ultimately be en-joyable. If you think about some-thing you’ve created – as a hobby or as a professional – where you really got into the flow, where you just loved every minute of the process, that’s creativity at its best. If it’s a chore, why do it?

That sounds trite if you’re forcing creativity to pay the monthly bills. But if you’re doing something as a hobby with the hope of creating something that will make you a millionaire best seller and guzzling tequila just to get through the process, you may be in the creativity gig for the wrong reasons.

Gilbert believes there’s an artist in all of us. We just have to open our hearts to receive and materialize inspiration. So, go forth and create, for the sake of creation itself!

OPINION Connected to your community

If you’re reading this then you’re most likely a believer in print newspapers.

It’s an admirable trait in these web-focused and fragile economic times, when

newspapers are grasping for a toehold to survive staggering losses in subscribers, readers and rev-enue as the world jumps ship to the Internet.

Journalists across the country watched as news broke on Twitter on Jan. 19 that 90 journal-ists at Sun papers in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, including 12 at the Ottawa Sun, had been axed from the Postmedia newspaper chain, the latest round of deep job cuts in an industry already reeling from recent eliminations at the CBC and CTV.

Postmedia chief executive Paul Godfrey ex-plained the downsizing in a staff memo: “As you know, we have announced a cost cutting program aimed at finding at least $80 million in savings before the end of fiscal 2017.

“That significant of an initiative requires look-ing at everything in a new way and considering approaches we have never taken – truly nothing is off the table. We know that we can’t make mean-ingful headway against our challenges without

great effort.”And, most obviously, not without extraordi-

nary loss – people-wise.A dozen crucial voices gone in a blink from

the Ottawa reporting landscape, taking their perspectives and encyclopedic knowledge of their beats with them. No longer digging up the stories our dwindling numbers strive to tell on multiple platforms. Godfrey said in each of those markets, one editor will oversee two newspaper brands, that most newsroom resources will be shared and ... “Stories covered will be adapted by platform at a rewrite desk dedicated to ensuring that the right voice and content makes it to the right brand and platform.”

The advent of rewrite desks and the silencing of 90 journalists is a tremendous blow, and not only to remaining journalists and sources.

Ultimately, the readers lose out. And the trend – whether in axe form or buyouts – will continue.

So thank you, dear reader, for believing in newspapers, for not just skimming the headlines, and more importantly, for not skipping them altogether. Those of us still working our beats are glad you do.

Thank you for reading, dear readers

People have been having a rollicking good time in the local media fighting over whether Ottawa is as great

a city as it should be. I particularly enjoyed Paul Wells’s devastating take in Maclean’s (www.macleans.ca/news/canada/world-class-whine-why-ottawas-haters-are-wrong/).

If you have lived in Ottawa for a while, you know it all by heart. But you never get tired of it. It’s an essential feature of life in the nation’s capital.

The main arguments should be familiar by now. Ottawa lacks world-class this and world-class that.

Ottawa not like Paris, too few good restaurants, museums not up to snuff, crowded road from the airport, Ottawa not like Wash-ington, NAC looks ugly from the

outside, need a library, Ottawa River shorelines under-used, Ot-tawa not like London, Ottawa not like Paris.

You can agree with all or some of these points. I would argue, as I have argued probably too frequently, that most of the points miss the point.

The majority of the great-city arguments are about how Ottawa impresses the visitor, the person from out of town. But a city is, first and foremost, for the people who live in it all year. And many

of the things that make that city great, or not, are invisible to the visitor.

The visitor doesn’t see the school system, the policing, the snow removal, the recreation program, the garbage pickup, the recycling system. Aside from the road to and from the airport, he has little experience of the traffic or the transit. He sees, or doesn’t see, wide boulevards, big statues, lavish convention facilities and decides that this is a great city, or isn’t.

This would be after he has a five-minute chat with the taxi driver to take the pulse of the community.

He has little sense of how ordi-nary people live. In many of the impressive cities of the world, such as New York or London, people with ordinary incomes can’t live

anywhere near the centre of town. That would be true of Vancou-

ver too, often cited as a great city. Is it a great city if you can’t afford to live in it? Is it a great city if the streets and bridges leading down-town are clogged?

Looked at it this way, Ottawa may well be a greater city than Vancouver.

To look at it from another per-spective, a visitor might deplore the spread of ugly condo develop-ments in downtown Toronto and deem it unworthy of a great city. And of course we love it when we hear people trash Toronto.

Yet those unsightly condo developments enable people of less than huge incomes to live downtown and support stores, restaurants and bars. That can’t be a bad thing, maybe a great thing, although of no visible impact to someone from out of town.

(Another thing that makes Toronto great: competing daily newspapers.)

Predictable as the debate is, it’s useful to have it from time to time (as we do). It never hurts to dis-cuss what makes a city great, what a city lacks and doesn’t lack.

It doesn’t hurt to appreciate what we have and identify what we need.

And it helps to pass the time while we wait for LeBreton Flats.

Hospital says pet owner was ‘belligerent’ Continued from page 5

So far, he has only received some medical notes about Echo’s visits.

The demand that the hospital pre-serve all evidence prompted a quick re-sponse.

“Seven hours later two lawyers were at my door with a letter that says, ‘If you come back to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital you will be charged with crimi-nal trespass,’” Braun said.

Braun shared a copy of the letter from the Alta Vista Animal Hospital’s lawyer, Vicky Satta, of the Ottawa law firm Emond Harnden.

The letter accuses Braun of being “derogatory, demeaning and insulting” to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital’s staff.

The letter also states that the animal hospital staff “assessed your pet and provided appropriate medical care,” and says a manager asked Braun not to return to the Alta Vista Animal Hos-pital “for service in future,” but makes no mention of his being asked to leave while Echo still required treatment.

The letter ends by informing Braun that if he returns to the animal hospital, he will be “prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

Braun said he later asked the friends who were waiting with him if he acted inappropriately.

“They said I was just crying,” he said.“If I was derogatory or demeaning,

why not supply me with the videotape (of the waiting area)?” Braun asked. “If I was derogatory and demeaning, why did you let me sit there for four hours?”

HOSPITAL RESPONDS

The hospital director at Alta Vista Animal Hospital, Steve Sidoli, said Braun was “belligerent” during the Dec.

10 evening visit.Sidoli said Echo was “treated and

stabilized,” and that when Braun was asked to leave, staff offered to make an appointment for Echo with a neurolo-gist elsewhere.

“The relationship (between the hos-pital and Braun) is frustrated,” Sidoli said.

A key question the College of Veteri-narians of Ontario must consider based on a complaint is if the Alta Vista Ani-mal Hospital released Echo before he received the care he needed.

Asked if Echo needed surgery when he was released by the Alta Vista Ani-mal Hospital, Sidoli said Echo “needed to see a neurologist, but it wasn’t ur-gent.”

“That’s not a medical opinion as I’m not a medical professional,” he said.

Alta Vista is the only Ottawa animal hospital that offers neurological servic-es that Echo appeared to require. Sidoli said Alta Vista Animal Hospital staff provided Braun with contact informa-tion for a clinic in Montreal that offers neurological care before Braun left the Alta Vista hospital on Dec. 10.

“We treat 25,000 cases a year and this is not a common occurrence,” he said of Braun being asked to leave.

Braun understands the courts consid-er pets to be property and will only mea-sure Echo’s value in dollars. He bought Echo for $3,000 and while he would like the Alta Vista Animal Hospital to be

responsible for that amount, he’s more interested in having other pet owners know how he was treated.

If the case does go to civil court – and Braun plans to file a case in court – Braun expects evidence from the Alta Vista Animal Hospital, including videos, could be presented, along with statements from the animal hospital’s staff.

If a complaint goes forward at the College of Veterinarians of Ontario, discipline ranges from reprimands to fines to revocation of a vet’s licence if a member of the college has shown “dis-regard for the welfare” of an animal.

“He was the best faithful and loyal companion,” Braun said of Echo. “I miss him greatly; coming to me when I come home, putting his head on my lap.

“I feel like they should have fixed him and they wouldn’t.”

“If I was derogatory and demeaning, why did you let me sit there for four hours?”LEONARD BRAUN

Day hospice offers respite, camaraderie

Jessica [email protected]

What occurs once in June, twice in August, but never in October?

The question greeted those who participated in Wednesday’s day program at Hospice Care Ottawa’s Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on Jan. 20.

The brainteaser was one of several questions posed to those in attendance, part of what co-ordinator and registered nurse Keitha Mitchell calls ‘Mensa Den-

sa,’ a fun way to engage the clients and volunteers. It’s not so much about getting the correct solution, but about engaging the brain and having fun trying to fig-ure out the answer.

The day hospice program is a weekly gathering that supports those living with a life-limiting illness.

There are activities – like cards, arts and board games – for those who want to par-take, but many just enjoy the opportunity to talk with others.

“To have conversation with other people who have gone through the struggle you’re going through and understand a bit of what your circumstances are, that’s why I like coming here,” said Andrew Harvey.

“It’s good to be able to come here once a week and socialize with everyone. Ev-eryone in here is fantastic; the volunteers are really good. It’s really a nice place to come for part of the day.”

Harvey has been attend-

ing the day program for about six weeks. A former high school English teacher, Harvey was diagnosed with cancer and had to retire from his vocation.

“When you have cancer, one of the things you have is an issue with filling the day up,” he said.

He learned of the pro-gram through Mitchell, who repeatedly called him until he agreed to check out the service.

“Don’t discount some-thing like this as, ‘That’s not for me’ until you try it,” Harvey said. “I never thought I would come here. Hospice, I would think, is not for me. But only because Keitha kept calling me that I’m here right now today, and I’m glad to be here.”

DAY HOSPICE

Hospice Care Ottawa served 188 clients through its day hospice program in 2014-15, and more than 1,450 in total.

Government funds makes up about half of Hospice Care Ottawa’s funding, while the rest, about $1.87 million, must be fundraised annually through events and donations to help keep its services in operation.

The Wednesday day pro-gram at the Ruddy-Shenk-man Hospice currently has six participants, with room for up to 15 clients.

The Tuesday session is full, while about 11 people participate in the Thursday day program in Richmond.

The May Court Hospice in east Ottawa also has day programs Tuesday to Thursday, while a franco-phone day program will be offered at La Maison de l’Est in Orléans.

The programs provide cli-ents with support from their peers, a registered nurse and trained volunteers; conversation; social activi-ties; snacks and lunch; the opportunity to learn new things; and rest and relax-ation.

Day hospice is all about

“the ability to be cared for in the community in a set-ting that’s comfortable and supportive,” said Mitchell.

“It’s an amazing peer support program. I think just the general sense of be-ing in a comfortable envi-ronment where things can be shared that they may not share at home, (attendees) share here because there’s a common sense of facing similar issues, facing similar challenges.”

Hospice not just for end-of-life careContinued from page 10

Barry Houle has an autoimmune disease that requires a double-lung transplant. He wasn’t aware of the service until he became sick and the hospice contacted him through the Community Care Access Centre.

“I always thought hospice meant end-of-(life) care, but it’s not. It’s also care before,” said the Nepean resident, who participated for the first time on Jan. 20.

Hospice Care Ottawa offers more than just the day programs; it also has residential ser-

vices, in-home support, family and caregiver programs, as well as grief and bereavement programs.

Houle’s wife takes part in the yoga program offered for caregivers. The programs give both a chance to meet others in similar circumstanc-es.

“I find it helpful because it gets me out of the house. You meet people in a similar situ-ation. You can talk about your experiences. I enjoyed it. I like the camaraderie, the sharing.”

Oh, and if you’re stuck on the brainteaser? The answer is ‘u.’

Volunteer Linda Hearty, left, and hospice chef Marie Murray spoon up a nutritious lunch for clients of the day program.

Red bricks had many stories to tellFather said he had

no recollection of how the red bricks came to us on the

farm in Northcote. They were always there. And yes, they served just about the same purpose as they did since he was a little boy.

He said they could prob-ably have come from a build-ing that was being built many years ago, such as the big red brick house beside Briscoe’s General Store, where the family lived for generations.

“If there were bricks lay-ing around, and not being used, you could have them, I guess,” he said. And no, he doubted any money changed hands.

I accepted that explana-tion of how red bricks got to us when there wasn’t a building on our entire farm that wasn’t made of logs or

boards.But they were certainly

put to good use by our fam-ily.

They were mostly used in the wintertime.

Always a couple sat on the reservoir at the back of the stove, as Mother said “just in case”. The “just in case” meant we needed a quick warm up for freezing feet on a bitterly cold day after being outside playing in the snow, or after our three

and a half mile walk home from the Northcote School.

And if there wasn’t some-thing cooking in the oven of the Findlay Oval, it wasn’t unusual to see a couple bricks heating up inside.

If we were still wearing our stockings, there was no need to wrap the bricks in a heavy towel. We just put our stockinged feet right on the hot bricks and got immediate warmth.

Of course, we never went

anywhere in the cutter or on the sleigh without hot bricks wrapped many times in the Renfrew Mercury and placed under our galoshes-covered feet.

Hot bricks warmed our beds at night.

How I loved to crawl be-tween the feather ticking that covered us, and the feathered mattress, and know that the bricks had warmed the bed first!

There was one brick that never touched the floor. This one was scrubbed clean and sat on the bake table and was wrapped in cheesecloth. It was used to hold down anything we ate that needed to be “pressed” as Mother called it.

And you better not touch it without washing your hands first, either.

And then there were

the bricks that served as doorstops. The ones in the shed and the back summer kitchen were minus their corners from being kicked into place over decades.

But the two bricks that caught my fancy the most was the one that sat at the back door in the kitchen, and the one at the door in the parlour.

Both of them were door stops, but because they were the first thing a visitor saw when coming into our house, you would never, at first glance, know they were bricks.

Long before Mother went to the farm in Northcote, someone had crocheted cov-ers for these two bricks.

They were made of bright red and green wool, no doubt left over from knitting socks or mitts. As Mother said, the cro-

cheted brick covers gave a bit of status (a word I had never heard of before), to two very ordinary necessi-ties: door stops.

Like so many other ordi-nary things put to good use on the farm, bricks coming to us from goodness knows where, served a purpose.

And when they were put at my feet, I wondered how many toes had touched them before me, and I would look at the covered brick at the back door, and marvel at the number of visitors who had passed be-side it, and how often a foot had moved it out of the way to hold open a door on a farm that generations before me had called home.

Have a little Gruffalo lover in your midst? Tall Stories Theatre Company of London’s West End flies Room on the Broom into Centrepointe Theatres on March 20, 2016 for two shows that will thrill the juice box set. Since their successful puppet adapta-tion of the beloved children’s storybook The Gruffalo, Tall Stories has transformed another award-winning book by Julia Don-aldson and Axel Scheffler into a colourful spectacle with unique characters that you can’t help but love.

True to Axel Scheffler’s illustrations from the book, Room on the Broom’s witch hits the stage in her signature purple skirt ac-companied by her tiger-striped cat. The story comes together with a witch, her cat, a dog, frog, bird, dragon and mud monster. Each puppet takes about 120 hours for the designer to build for a total of ten full days of work on each one – and each pup-pet must be duplicated for the tour! Since the show’s first appearance eight years

ago, there have been seven birds, six cats, five witches, and

four dogs, and the countdown continues keeping Tall Stories busy and creative.

It’s hard to believe the slick dragon costume was initially upcycled from a bike helmet and a pair of Wellies and all the colourful puppets have been created from old t-shirts. Meticulous designer Yvonne Stone has also been known to cut up teddy bears and other stuffed toys for her pro-totypes. From odds and ends to used ap-parel, these works of art are precious but constantly handled. Tall Stories keeps the

creations clean with an ingenious hack: nightly wipe-downs with vodka. Resource-ful? Very. Puppets just anyone can DIY? Not even close. The detail and beauty built into these characters will astound anyone who has popped through the puppet pages of Pinterest.

There is so much magic in Room on the Broom - flying, fire-breathing and spells have audiences impressed and enchanted. No wonder the production was nominated for an Olivier Award - the British equiva-lent of a Tony. The show is an ideal family treat for fans of the book, where kids can

discover the magic of theatre in an interac-tive story full of sing-alongs and laughter. Expect impressive puppetry, original songs, physical storytelling and ignited imagina-tions. Tall Stories’ brings children theatre productions to life with incredible detail lovingly imparted in each character, trans-porting kids into the pages of the tale and creating a fantastic reality on stage.

After a few months spent snuggled up with your favourite movies and shows, kick off the warmer weather with an afternoon spent out and about. Tickets are still avail-able – www.centrepointetheatres.com

City planners are nearly ready with a design for a multi-use pathway on Klond-ike Road between March and Sandhill roads, with construc-tion expected to finish this fall.

The pathway is a result of about four years of work with the goal of upgrading the rural road to an urban street, said Kanata North Coun. Mari-anne Wilkinson, with this proj-ect being an interim step.

Senior city planner Jeff de Laat presented the preliminary design for the $1.2-million proj-ect to community members at a Kanata North Town Hall meet-ing held by Wilkinson on Jan. 20.

Rather than sidewalks, the three-metre-wide asphalt path-way will run along the south side of Klondike Road between March and Sandhill roads. The pathway will have two lanes and be available for cyclist and pedestrian use.

See WORK, page 18

Klondike Rd. to get multi-use pathway


Senior city planner Jeff de Laat describes the preliminary design for work to be done on Klondike Road between March and Sandhill roads, which will include a multi-use pathway to make the section of road safer for pedestrians. The design was presented to residents at a Kanata North Town Hall meeting on Jan. 20 at the Beaverbrook library branch.

FOOD Connected to your community

Enjoy some comfort food this winterNothing says “Dutch”

cooking quite like stamp-pot, literally a stomped pot of mashed potatoes and vegetables, comforting food in cold weather. There are many variations to this tra-ditional dish; this version has savoy cabbage and can be served with smoked sau-sages, roast pork or chick-en.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 min-utes

Serves: six

INGREDIENTS

• 4 potatoes, peeled (about 1-1/2 lb/750 g) • Half rutabaga, peeled (about 1 lb/500 g) • 4 cups (1 L) thinly sliced Savoy cabbage • 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter • 1/3 cup (75 mL) milk (approx)• Salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut potatoes into chunks. Cut rutabaga into ½-inch (1 cm) cubes. Place potatoes and rutabaga in large saucepan and cover with cold water. Cover and bring to boil; reduce heat and cook covered until veg-etables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, place cab-bage and 2 tbsp (25 mL) of water in microwaveable dish. Cover and microwave on High for 2 minutes or un-til tender-crisp and bright green. Drain and set aside. Drain potatoes and ruta-baga; mash until smooth.

Stir in butter until melted and add enough milk for a creamy consistency. Stir cabbage into mash. Season to taste with salt and pep-per. Tip: Rutabaga takes longer to cook than pota-toes, so cut rutabaga into small cubes.

LED lighting will also be installed on the street, said de Laat, making the new pathway safe for crews to clear it in the winter.

An asphalt platform will also be con-structed for the bus stop already in ex-istence on the road, as the bus currently has no place to pull over to load or un-load riders.

Wilkinson has called the sidewalk-less portion of Klondike Road treach-erous for pedestrians who have to walk on the road or the shoulder.

Part of the road itself will also be repaired, while curbs will be installed from March Road to Sandhill Road, and significant culvert extension work will have to take place at Shirley’s Brook.

Ditches will also have to be shifted, and work will have to take place across residential driveways, said de Laat, though it will be done on city right-of-ways.

However, workers must give residents 24-hours notice before driveway work is done.

Traffic on the road is expected to be

maintained, though the road will be re-duced to one lane when required.

In late 2013, staff introduced a sug-gestion to residents to turn the street into a temporary one-way to make it safer for pedestrians until the road could be upgraded. However, strong public opposition and other potentially unsafe situations that could be created kept that idea from taking hold.

To make a comment on the project, call de Laat at 613-580-2424, ext. 21916, or email at [email protected].

Protesters call for an end to health-care austerity

Jennifer [email protected]

Nancy Parker had tears in her eyes when she ad-dressed the crowd in front of the Ottawa Marriott ho-tel on Kent Street on Jan. 22.

She told the story of her husband – who was diag-nosed with emphysema last May – laying in a hallway in the Ottawa Hospital for two days before getting admit-ted to a room.

The crowd of protesters that gathered outside the hotel where provincial pre-budget consultations were

being held on Jan. 22 in-cluded representatives from more than a dozen unions, as well as Acorn and the Ontario Federation of La-bour.

The crowd yelled, “shame,” “austerity, no way” and “fairness, it’s the only way,” as the slate of speakers talked about workers locked out of the Rideau Carleton Raceway and student debt.

Parker said her husband had a heart attack in No-vember 2014 and had been admitted to hospital five times before he was diag-nosed with emphysema.

He waited until that De-cember to see a respirologist.

“This is a man who had trouble walking across the kitchen,” Parker said. “That’s ridiculous.”

And the journey towards treatment and diagnosis still isn’t done, Parker said, add-ing her husband is still going through breathing tests.

Mary Catherine McCar-thy had a similar story.

Her mother was 90 when she fell and broke a hip in April 2015.

She was originally seen in the emergency room of the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital, but was moved to the General be-cause of the wait times at the Civic.

She subsequently had hip surgery – but with her complex care needs after the recovery, and taking into account her Parkin-son’s disease, dementia and celiac disease, doctors rec-ommended she be moved to a long-term care facility.

“She had been living at home before the fall, but it wasn’t possible for her to go back there,” McCar-thy said, adding the facility where she was moved was the family’s second choice.

OTTAWA DUCK CLUB 50TH BIRTHDAY – This club works behind the scenes to build and install nest boxes for Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers in the Watts Creek wetlands. They also worked with the City to create an arboretum along the south and west sides of the Beaver Pond in Kanata North, where I was able to provide a sign identifying the different species. Each specie is listed by number on the sign and on many of the trees. They’ve also wrapped key trees with wire netting provided by the City to protect them from beavers. Happy Birthday and many more to this club that does so much for nature and our community. PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE MOSQUTIO CONTROL PROGRAM - An information piece has been mailed to all homes, so you should receive it by early next week. In the meantime become informed about this rather complex program by attending one of the public meetings. The schedule is: Thurs. Jan. 28, 7-9 pm, All Saints Catholic High School, 5115 Kanata Ave; Mon. Feb 1, 7-9 pm, St. John’s Anglican Church, 325 Sandhill Rd; and Sat. Feb 6, 10am-Noon, Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Drive. Learn why the program is not destructive to the environment, how it would be done, how it protects your property value and the benefit to children playing outdoors in our parks. The program will only move forward if the community supports it. The cost per household, including a scientific study, is under $35 per year. This is an opportunity to enhance the quality of life for everyone in Kanata North at a fraction of the cost of personal mosquito control.THE FUTURE OF CANADIAN TIRE PLACE is under discussion, with the release of proposals for development on LeBreton Flats. Prior to publication of this column I attended a briefing and will be considering and commenting on what is proposed. I will not support public money going into a privately owned arena, nor will I automatically say it is the best place for Ottawa’s Central Library (as a member of the Library Board we are studying where the best location would be and that may or may not be at LeBreton Flats – the Board has not been part of any discussions at this time). If the Senators decide to build there, and if the NCC agrees, then that is their business decision. I prefer them to stay here. Any change in location would take 5-10 years so, if they are to move, we will need to immediately start a process to work with the Senators on a development plan for their Kanata property. They need to replace the arena with something even better as an asset to our community. I will have more on this after I see the proposals.KNL’S PLAN RE: ENDANGERED SPECIES was posted by the Ministry of Natural Resources on Jan 4th with a comment deadline of Feb.3rd. However, those wishing to comment were unable to get details of the plan. After contacting the Ministry and considerable delay, I was sent the documents which I placed in the Beaverbrook Library last Monday, where any resident can review them. KNL must receive a Defined Benefit Permit from the Ministry to implement their plan before work can start north of the Kizell wetlands.START WITH A PANCAKE BREAKFAST THIS Sat, 10-11 am, Outside City Hall and then enjoy lots of other WINTERLUDE activities.FAMILY DAY, FEB 15, FREE SKATING SPONSORED BY MYSELF & MP KAREN MCCRIMMON,1-3 pm, Mlacak Arena, 2500 Campeau Dr. Hot chocolate and cookies courtesy of Chartwell Kanata Retirement Residence.March 10, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY BREAKFAST, 7-8:30 am, Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr. – Bookmark the date now.

Society’s vulnerable members suffering: unionContinued from page 25

The waiting lists for long-term care facilities in Ottawa are long and families often have to settle for what’s avail-able, she said.

While the staff were dedi-cated, McCarthy said, they rarely saw the same person twice.

“Everyone was part time, so it was hard to communi-cate her needs, because no one we talked to was famil-iar with her case,” McCarthy said, adding when her mother

arrived at the facility, staff didn’t know her mother was recovering from hip surgery. “They weren’t really equipped for that kind of care,” she said.

McCarthy said the family had to make sure someone was there during her moth-er’s meal times to ensure she didn’t eat gluten or anything that would cause her celiac disease to flare up.

Her mother died in June. While she had lived a long

life, McCarthy said she can’t help but feel her last months

could have been more com-fortable.

With continued hospital staffing cuts, these stories aren’t unique, said Marlene Rivier, a member of the hos-pital professionals division of the Ontario Public Employees Union.

It’s gotten so bad at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, where she serves on the board, that Rivier said it’s not a matter of if there will be cuts each year – it’s where the cuts will be.

“Whether people are going

out the door or not, services to patients will be cut,” she said.

Patti Coates, with the On-tario Federation of Labour, said if the province continues going down this path, the gap between the rich and poor will continue to grow.

“It’s the vulnerable mem-bers of society that suffer,” she said. “We need a higher minimum wage, and a plan for growing our economy.”

Protestors are following the budget consultations across the province, Coates said.

Skaters from across the world will hurl themselves down an icy hill full of jumps to compete for the world’s best ice cross downhiller next win-ter in Ottawa.

The Red Bull Crashed Ice world championship event will be hosted in March 2017 beside the Chateau Laurier and Major’s Hill Park at the Ottawa Locks, part of the Rideau Canal and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Red Bull Crashed Ice events have been held in Quebec City in the past, and feature a downhill course, ap-proximately 400 metres long, with jumps.

Red Bull Crashed Ice sports director Christian Papillon called the sport a combina-

tion of power skating and ski cross. A former competitor himself, he said skaters can travel up to 82 kilometres an hour while skating downhill.

Racers compete four at a time, with the first two to cross the finish line advanc-

ing to the next round. There are both men’s and women’s divisions.

Papillon said it’s exciting to introduce a new audience, Ot-tawa, to the sport.

Question: I recently changed roles at work. My new title is “Accounts Manager” and I am responsible for all the company’s accounts payable and receivable. I also help other staff price our products and develop new accounts. I am very happy about my new role but my job used to be “9 to 5” and now I have to work late and on weekends. I asked my boss about overtime but was informed that managers and supervisors do not receive overtime pay. Is this true?

For most employees in Ontario overtime hours start after 44 hours of work in a week. For every hour worked in excess of 44 hours an employee is supposed to receive time and a half.

Under the Employment Standards Act there are exceptions to the general rule including that managers and supervisors do not receive any overtime compensation. For this “manager exception” to apply an employee generally needs to be performing work that involves the supervision of other employees in a leadership role as opposed working in general administrative duties. Also, the exempt employee must be working in the manager role the majority of the time

while at work - not just every now and then. The fact that someone’s job title includes the word “manager” or “supervisor” does not determine their entitlement to overtime pay. Rather, it depends on what the actual duties of the employee are.

Although many job titles, such Accounts Manager, include the word “manager” this does not necessarily mean you don’t get overtime pay. If your job does not involve supervising other employees this is a good indication that you may be entitled to overtime compensation. For more information you can seek legal counsel or examine the Ministry of Labour’s website at http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/.

I want to thank the many constituents that joined us as we officially opened our Constituency Office on Friday, 15 January. We had about 175 people attend the event, and I was delighted that Councillors Allan Hubley and Marianne Wilkinson were able to join us and lend their support.House of Commons Back in SessionThis week marked the return of the House of Commons for the first sitting of the new year. Major items for discussion this week included the Second Reading of Bill C-2, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act, introduced by the Minister of Finance to lower the tax rate for the middle class. Other topics of discussion and debate included replies to the Speech from The Throne. I have also been an active member of several Liberal caucus meetings on the Hill, including Women`s Caucus, Ontario Caucus, Rural Caucus and the National Capital Region Caucus. Canada Summer Jobs 2016 Program – APPLY NOWLocal employers in the non-profit, public, and small business sectors can now apply for the Canada Summer Jobs 2016 program. The program helps employers to create valuable summer job opportunities for students, while strengthening local economies and communities. Working with Service Canada, I identified several local priorities for the program, including the rural agricultural sector and the Kanata technology sector. The deadline to apply for funding is Feb. 26. For more information or to submit an application, visit servicecanada.gc.ca/csj.Pre-Budget Consultation Follow-UpMy staff and I have been hard at work since the Pre-Budget Consultation of January 15th to assemble the feedback received from attendees and other community stakeholders into a presentation to the Ministry of the Finance.

“People growing up here are built for the sport, and Ottawa provides a great urban back-drop.”

Event organizers have made a point to host their events in

urban areas with interesting backdrops, such as in Niagara Falls and Quebec City and inter-nationally in cities such as Mos-cow, Russia; Helsinki, Finland; and Valkenburg, Netherlands.

The course is built with spec-tator stands all around, lighting

for evening events, and often fea-tures music and DJs.

“It will have a modern, edgy and appealing image for youth,” said Guy Laflamme, the Ottawa 2017 executive director. “We are gearing up for a big, bold year.”

The event was recruited by

the city for 2017 as part of the country’s 150th birthday cel-ebrations.

“We expect this event will be hugely popular,” Mayor Jim Watson said. “We’re going to see the downtown packed like never before.”

2ND SECTION


The apple has been a source of inspiration for the human race for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Sir Isaac Newton is purported to have gleaned the effect of grav-ity from the falling fruit in the mid-1600s.

Then there is, of course, origi-nal sin, and, more recently, Apple computers.

At a University of Ottawa sci-ence lab, artists and scientists have come up with a new innovation using the fruit.

By removing the cells from a slice of apple but leaving the cellu-lose “scaffolding,” achieved using a very simple technique, lab research-ers were able to then implant hu-

man cells and grow them inside the framework of the apple.

“We just tried it, and the amaz-ing thing was it worked right out of the gate,” said Andrew Pelling, the associate professor who runs the Pelling Laboratory for Physical Manipulation.

The technique behind the whole thing is actually rather simple, he said. So much so that Pelling didn’t patent the technique. Instead he publicly released the information showing how to perform the experi-ment so that not just scientists, but anyone interested in doing it them-selves could try.

He envisions the do-it-yourself culture taking hold of the technique and changing the way people work with their own bodies in the future.

See BIO-ARTISTS, page 34

Ottawa lab grows human apple slice


University of Ottawa associate professor Andrew Pelling, founder of the Pelling Laboratory for Physical Manipulation, holds up a $1,000 piece of biomaterial in his right hand, and an apple slice containing hu-man cells in the other. He and his researchers are working to prove that pieces of decellularized apple can be used just as well as biomaterial to help human bodies repair themselves, and for much less money.

“Instead of somebody hacking together some project in a garage that’s electronic and then releasing it on the In-ternet, you can hack together in your garage a new organ for yourself and release the plans for that online,” he said of his vision.

FROM MEAT TO APPLE

Pelling and his students ended up developing their technique using an apple quite by accident. In fact, they had been trying to do the same thing with discarded meat, getting rid of cells in the meat and growing another animal’s cells in the leftover structure.

“We were collaborating with butchers and using rotten meat and stuff that you would throw out; it’s garbage,” said Pelling. “You pull all the cells out of that tissue and flesh, and what you are left with is a protein scaffold just like the studs in a house.”

“Because we were realizing we could actually do some combinations of a mouse heart and put dog cells into it or whatever, (we thought) ‘Why can’t we use plants?’” an even cheaper material.

So the lab began experi-menting with leaves, but it turned out they were too waxy for the decellulariza-tion process. That’s because

the process for getting rid of the existing cells is to stir the material in soap and water, albeit for an extended period of time.

“Yeah, soap and water. Crazy, crazy stuff,” Pelling said with a laugh.

Though the technique wouldn’t work on a leaf, it turns out it works just fine on an apple – a fact that one of Pelling’s students, Daniel Modulevsky, stumbled upon after seeing another student eating an apple.

“So we tried it, because that’s what we do here. We just tried it,” said Pelling.

Reducing an apple slice to a cellulose scaffold, the Pel-ling lab members were able to place and grow human cells.

CURIOSITY

The discovery is at least partially a result of the lab’s philosophy of “unapologetic curiosity,” said Pelling.

Feeling too closed in by the vast majority of scien-tific grants that require a lab to solve a particular problem or invent a specific technol-ogy, Pelling secured discovery grant funding to start his own lab “founded on the principle of curiosity,” he said.

“I wanted to create a space where people could just ask questions and just collect the most creative and appropriate people around us to answer

those questions,” said Pelling.Those “appropriate peo-

ple” include bio-artists – peo-ple who manipulate biology as an art form – who have at times been at the forefront of innovation, with science strug-gling to keep up, said Pelling.

In 2013, the “world’s first lab-grown burger” was eaten at an event in London, Eng-land – the result of years of scientific work.

An artistic laboratory called SymbioticA from the University of Western Austra-lia did much the same thing – growing a slab of meat using pre-natal sheep cells.

But they did it years earlier – in 2000.

“These artists did basically the same thing, cooked it in a gallery and ate it, but because it was art I don’t think it was really well appreciated in the scientific world,” said Pelling. “But then a group of scien-tists a decade later, a decade which is forever, do the same thing and that’s what gets all the attention.

“Just imagine if the sci-entific community was a bit more plugged in a decade before, where they could be now. That’s the danger and I think short-sightedness of discounting all that art in your field or artists as if they couldn’t contribute. That’s just not true.”

School is barely out before it’s time to start the kids at day camp.

All summer long, they will be able to do a variety of activities, go on group out-ings, and make lots of new friends. Here are a few tips to help your children enjoy this enriching experience, which they are sure to remember for the rest of their lives.

First of all, it’s possible that your children will feel a little nervous about go-ing to camp, especially if it’s their first time. Reassure them by describing all the ac-tivities that will be organized throughout the summer, em-phasizing the ones you know they’ll prefer.

Remind them that this is a perfect opportunity to expe-rience wonderful adventures with other children of the same age.

On the first day of camp, start them off on the right foot by giving them a good breakfast. They can take their own lunches and snacks or they can buy food if a caf-eteria is available.

Be careful of allergies — some camps, just like schools, ban peanuts.

Every evening before bed-time, invite your children to participate in the prepa-ration of their backpacks. Make sure they pack sun-

screen, a hat or baseball cap, and a good pair of shoes.

As most camps have swimming in their programs, ensure they also include a swimsuit, towel, and a change of clothing. Some pools require swim caps to be worn.

You might also be re-

quired to supply life vests or swim floats if your children need them.

Last but not least, go over basic safety rules with your children, and be sure to tell them to have a good time.

After all, day camp is the perfect place to create unfor-gettable memories.

Day camp tips for parents

Prepare your children’s backpacks with them. Pack sun-screen, a hat, a sweater and a good pair of shoes.

March Break Camp registrations are now available online at www.kmsregistration.com

Being in a stimulating environment and being sur-rounded by enthusiastic ex-perts are the greatest moti-vators for children to spend time at summer camp.

That is why so many specialized camps are now available, and there’s cer-tainly no shortage of choice for budding scientists.

When children are pas-sionate about a subject it is very important to encourage them. Sciences take up only a very small part of school curriculums, so young sci-ence fans are ecstatic when they are given the chance during their summer vaca-tions to deepen their knowl-edge, carry out experiments and see a whole new world of discovery opening up be-fore their eyes.

Many specialized science camps now exist and offer a wide range of activities con-nected to this fascinating subject. Workshops, dem-onstrations, group activities and experiments are always on the menu.

These science camps often concentrate on very specific areas such as astronomy,

physics, computer sciences, or archaeology.

For parents who feel that their children may suffer from an academic overdose, they should realize that a camp is considered to be specialized if they offer two hours of a specific sub-ject every day. That means

there’s plenty of time dur-ing the rest of the day to have fun and run off some energy.

Because summer camps are increasingly popular these days, it is important to register early to get a place, no matter what interests your child may have.

Camp can be paradise for budding scientists

Many specialized science camps now exist with a wide range of activities on the menu.

The following article was submitted by Agatha E. Sidlauskas, registered psychologist in Ontario and founder of Venta Preparatory School, and Marilyn Mansfield, the principal of the Venta Preparatory School.

As a clinical child psychologist and an edu-cator, it has long been our belief that the tra-ditional 10-month school year - September to June - makes no sense for today’s children.

The schedule was established when chil-dren were needed to help on the family farm and bring in the harvest during the summer months. By the mid-20th century, our society had become primarily urban and two months of school vacation meant just one thing: eight weeks of unscheduled ‘free time’.

For this reason summer camps emerged as a popular way to keep children entertained and busy during the school holidays.

However, the benefits of a well-run sum-mer camp are much more far-reaching. If the program is well-planned and structured , the activities can be fun for the children but also build skills and foster positive social and emo-tional growth, learning, and adventure.

Being exposed to new experiences and en-couraged by friendly and sympathetic adults to try new things helps the child build self-confidence. True self-esteem comes from doing something new and difficult and succeeding.

Interacting with others in a well-run sum-mer camp gives children a chance to learn re-spect for others, teamwork, kindness and hon-esty and they have fun while they learn.

Skills learned at camp are then transferred to the classroom during the regular academic year.

Attendance at a summer camp teaches chil-dren to work together more cooperatively, to

resolve conflicts more effectively, to assume greater responsibility, and to become more self-reliant and self-confident.

We are convinced that it is critical for chil-dren to be involved in structured activities during the summer months. A well-run camp program provides the child with learning ex-periences that are not possible in a traditional classroom.

Summer camp is one of the few places where children can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression, and true participation in a safe environment.

While at camp children learn about living, working and playing together and making pos-itive contributions to their community.

They acquire first hand multi-sensory knowledge of the natural world.

Going to camp gives the child much more than a vacation. Living, playing and sharing adventures together help the child develop into a healthy, physically fit and productive adult.

At camp, children gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and learn social skills of positive interaction that stay with them for a lifetime and spill over into other parts of their lives.

The new skills they have mastered and the social and emotional growth they have expe-rienced help them become more successful in school and in other activities.

In our technological society, which encour-ages passive forms of entertainment rather than active involvement, summer camp pro-vides a unique opportunity for children to ex-perience a different way to play.

Participation in outdoor activities builds healthy bodies but also healthy minds.

Ottawa gets its own Occupational Health Clinic

Steph [email protected]

Eastern Ontario workers injured or sickened on the job will no longer have to travel to Toronto or Sud-bury for medical consulta-tions.

On Jan. 21, Ontario La-bour Minister Kevin Flynn joined the province’s chief prevention officer George Gritziotis in opening Ot-tawa’s new Occupational Health Clinic for Ontario Workers on Carling Avenue.

The clinic, created with $777,000 in provincial fund-ing and a pledge for ongoing financial support, joins five previously existing clinics in other areas of the province. Besides the Ottawa area, the clinic will serve both the Ottawa Valley and seaway,

from Kingston to Cornwall.A board of directors

headed by David Chezzi, a labour union executive specializing in Workplace Safety and Insurance Board services, will guide the clin-ic.

“It’s great news for east-ern Ontario, and great news for Ottawa,” said Flynn.

“We are one of the safest jurisdictions in the world, and we should take some satisfaction from that, but I don’t think we should be entirely satisfied with that. We should be proud of what we’ve been able to do – in the past decade, we’ve re-duced workplace incidents by 40 per cent. We should be proud of that, but by no means should we be satis-fied with that.”

Flynn said the clinic at 1565 Carling Ave., near Churchill Avenue, will be a “valuable partner” to the Ministry of Labour, provid-ing workers with medical diagnosis, preventative in-formation, and services sick or injured workers need to recover and return to work.

“It’s a no brainer – when you can get this much value for that much money, you take that opportunity and make that investment,” said

Flynn. “You’ve got such an excellent reputation and bring so much credibility to the table … It makes it a very easy decision.”

To date, the province’s OH-COW clinics have responded

to over 100,000 workplace inquiries, worked on 31,000 patient cases, staged 11,500 workplace interventions, and developed 500 workplace prevention tools.

Gritziotis, who has held

the role as chief prevention officer for five years, oversees six health and safety organi-zations, of which OHCOW is one.

He came to the ribbon-cutting armed with facts and figures that explain the clin-ics’ net worth.

“When we look at oc-cupational fatalities in the province – both fatalities re-sulting from accidents and exposure to toxic substances – occupational diseases ac-count for almost two-thirds of all fatalities in our prov-ince,” he said, adding that the number stands at 200 to 250 per year.

“There’s so much more work that needs to be done, and I look at what OH-COW is doing as being really groundbreaking, watershed work … When we look at occupational disease, about 20 per cent of those fatalities are attributed back to eastern Ontario. As the minister said, it didn’t take much to fig-ure out that we needed that capability in eastern Ontar-io.”

Clinics assess thousands of workers each year

The National Capital Com-mission has rescinded their approval of the planned site for the controversial memorial for victims of communism.

The NCC’s board of direc-tors rescinded the approval during their board meeting on Jan. 20 in favour of public consultation on a relocation to the Garden of Provinces and Territories – further west on Wellington Street than the original planned location.

The planned memorial was controversial because of its placement on land to the south west of the Supreme Court of Canada on Welling-ton Street. There were also concerns about its size and scale.

Mark Kristmanson, the board’s chief executive officer called the project difficult and divisive.

Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly has also spoken publicly against the memorial’s size and planned location on Wel-lington Street.

In November, Joly called the project a priority for her department.

Half of the funding for the memorial will come from the federal government, which will cap its funding at $1.5 mil-lion. The federal funds will be

matched by the group Tribute to Liberty, which is leading the project.

Last month the Depart-ment announced the memo-rial will be moving.

Decontamination of the 5,000 square meter original site was supposed to begin in November. It was supposed to mark the beginning of the decontamination of the site, but was halted pending de-sign approval.

Board member Michael Pankiw said he would like to see it cleaned up.

“I have to speak against this motion because of the number of contaminated

sites in the capital,” he said. “There were specific ques-tions about the decontamina-tion in June.”

Stephen Willis, executive director of capital planning for the NCC, said the site does not need to be remedi-ated if it remains parkland.

While a future Federal Court of Canada headquar-ters building is on the hori-zon, Willis said decontamina-tion on the site can wait until planning for the new building starts.

Canadian Heritage will have to submit a land use pro-posal for the memorial to the board in April.

NCC rescinds approval for site of communism memorial

In addition to including artists, the lab is also trying to do things differently by manipulating biology with-out the use of drugs, stem cells or genome manipula-tion. That sort of thing is too obvious, he said.

Instead, Pelling prefers physical biohacking.

“I love pulling apart electronics and building stupid and useless but fun and whimsical things, and it was in doing that that I kind of thought, ‘Well maybe we can do this with biology,’” he said.

While Pelling’s lab has yielded some fun and whimsical but not particu-larly useful things through this method, its human apple experiment has some very pertinent uses, he said.

HEALTH CARE COSTS

In an interview with the Kanata Kourier-Standard, Pelling held up a small plastic container holding a thin piece of white material about the size of a toonie.

The material is used for helping people’s bodies repair themselves. By im-planting the bio-material in a wound, human cells can invade it and grow more easily by using the mate-rial’s structure.

“This has a street value of like $1,000 US,” said

Pelling. “That’s to me, the researcher, not to the pa-tient and to the health-care system and doctors.”

“If you really think about what this is and how it’s made, the profit here is not insignificant,” said Pel-ling.

But animal testing shows that his lab’s apple slices should be able to do the same job and for much cheaper, he said.

“The amazing thing was it worked right out of the gate,” said Pelling. “We had to optimize a lot, but in the end, we can make this much material, the size of an apple, for less than a penny.”

The lab went on to do animal trials, implanting the cellulose scaffolding, and found that mamma-lian bodies don’t reject the material, but use it to grow mammalian tissue.

“It’s not 100-per-cent perfect,” said Pelling. “We need to do a bit more work to optimize, but for a first shot, holy crap!”

Now the lab is collabo-rating with clinicians and others to test out tangible uses for the new material, such as repairing bone or spinal chords.

Pelling lab researchers are also experimenting with carving the apples into ear shapes as a first step to-wards creating appendages or organs. However, they currently are only capable

of growing a single type of cell within the apple scaf-folding.

But perhaps the most controversial thing the lab has done is make their work with the apples public knowledge so that regular people can try it them-selves. Members of the lab have even begun a busi-ness to sell incubators to grow the human cells in the apple bits – the only really complicated part of the process.

Asked whether he con-siders the general public playing with implanting their own cells into fruits an ethical issue, Pelling said it definitely raises ethical questions, though he said he is more concerned with the ethics of rising health-care costs and how his lab is funded.

“This whole lab is pub-licly funded. The taxpayer paid for this work,” he said. “I don’t feel right about patenting something the public paid for and then profiting off it. I’d rather see that go back into our communities and see what happens.”

“And then when you develop something that again is potentially some-thing that can transform somebody’s life, should we be selling it to the highest bidder? Is that really the best option, or should we be opening it to the global community?”

Scientist hopes apples could reduce health care costs


Pieces of apple carved into the shape of human ears await decellularization at the Pelling Lab at the University of Ottawa, where associate professor Andrew Pelling and his students are implanting and growing human cells in apples.
