Ottawa police investigators have concluded that a recent sexual assault claim made by a 16-yearold girl in Barrhaven is unfounded. The incident was reported to have occurred at approximately 9:45 a.m. on Jan. 18 when the girl, who was walking along Tartan Drive, was approached by an unknown male driving an older red SUV. It was alleged that a man in his 40s asked the girl for directions before forcing her into the vehicle and sexually assaulting her. Police reports stated the suspect brandished a handgun during the attack and drove the victim to the Fallowfield Road park-and-ride lot, where he dropped her off and left the area. But after a two-week investigation, Sgt. Jeff Webster said the Ottawa police have determined that the details reported cannot be substantiated. He added that he couldn’t comment on the specifics of the “complex” investigation, including cost. “It’s private and we assured her (the complainant) it would be private,” Webster said. Webster added that after consultation with the Crown, the police will not charge the 16-year-old with public mischief. “We took a number of things into account that were in the best interest of the community and the best interest of the complainant,” he said.

Tartan Drive was a hub of activity recently as police investigated the report of a sexual attack on a Barrhaven teenager.

/H]PUN 4VT JSVZL I` ZLJ\YP[` JVU]LUPLUJL HUK WLHJL VM TPUK

Barrhaven teen’s claims ‘unsubstantiated’ in the Barrhaven area from 2009 to 2010. Sexual assaults of those under 16 have increased by four incidents during the same period however. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board regularly sends out street-proofing letters to students and parents, but media relations officer Sharlene Hunter said the board was unable to discuss this specific case. Barrhaven-Ottawa South This Week obtained a copy of a letter Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School sent out following the original alleged incident. “This is a police investigation, however we wanted to ensure that you were advised and remind you to discuss safety precautions with your children,� a portion of the letter reads. Kelly Ross, owner of Kidproof CanadaOttawa, said more people have shown interest in her workshops like Stranger Smarts and At Home Alone, which she runs at Ross’ Your Independent Grocer. “There’s definitely been an increase in curiosity with our workshops,� she said. While the incident may have been unsettling to the community, Gilliland said there is now a sense of relief. “The most important thing is we don’t have a predator on our streets and we can go back to our normal life of not being as on edge as people have been over the past few weeks,� he said.

Continued from front “There wasn’t enough evidence to lay a charge.� While Webster said he hasn’t personally heard frustration from members of a community who had to experience the murder of 18-year-old Jennifer Teague in the same area in September 2005, he has seen comments on other media outlets. “Everything was considered for sure,� he said. “We’re aware of what happened to Jennifer Teague.� West Barrhaven Community Association president James Gilliland said the community has been hanging on every move of the police investigation – which included stopping motorists at the parkand-ride on Jan. 25 to search for clues. Gilliland said he saw friends, who are area residents, make updates to their Facebook and Twitter accounts with a description of the man in question. “When it was revealed that it was unfounded or a hoax, people were angry,� he said. “They felt that it was a waste of resources. “What I’ve heard from people is they want to know that the message (to the girl) has been received. This is not the way to go about it. If it was a cry for help, the hope is that the young lady gets the help she needs.� Ottawa police numbers show a nine percent decrease in crimes of violence

Philip and Nancy Weiss’s relationship has changed quite a bit in their 65 years of marriage. The couple, now living at the Carleton Lodge, used to be regularly active either by camping with their four children or through memberships at golf or bridge clubs. But while the 86-year-old husband is now resigned to living at the long-term care facility in north Barrhaven – mostly because of Nancy’s 20-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease – Philip doesn’t mind the lifestyle change. “We’ve always lived a joint life,â€? Philip said with a smile as he held his wife’s arm gently while she sat beside him silently in a wheelchair. “This works fine because it’s what we’re used to.â€? Since both have been residents at the Lodge for the past 4½ years, after moving from Kingston when Philip could no longer solely care for Nancy, now 91, Philip considers himself says he’s fortunate to be with his love as Valentine’s Day. nears. When they first moved in, the inseparable pair lived on different floors, forcing Philip to visit Nancy first thing in the morning to assist the staff. Philip has been making his wife’s bed, putting the finishing touches on her daily attire and helping choose foods for breakfast. Now the walk is just a stone’s throw as the Weisses’ rooms are two doors away from each other. “It’s a privilege,â€? he said. “It’s not that common in the sense that I’m capable of supplementing the care that they give. I’m there first thing in the morning.â€? Philip is used to showing his wife he cares about her. It’s actually through an act of kindness that they met. In late May 1945, Philip, a member of the Canadian infantry, was walking along the barracks in Utrecht shortly after the Liberation of Holland. “From the back I saw a girl carrying heaving bags,â€? he said, noting they were food rations from the Red Cross. “Being a Good Samaritan, I went to help her. “I walked her home and had a cup of tea with her mother. That’s how our relationship started. It’s as serendipitous as that.â€? Prior to the end of the war, Philip assumed he would return to Canada. But he just couldn’t leave Nancy. The couple wed in the fall of 1945 and Philip joined the occupation forces in Germany until the following June so he could be close to his wife. They then returned to Canada where, after a stop in Toronto, moved to Ottawa so Philip could work in the public service sector for 30 years. Nancy gave birth to four boys: Paul, Stephen, Karl and Ben and they now have eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, with an eighth on the way in the summertime. Philip retired at age 54, allowing the couple to move into a condo in Prince Edward County, just west of Kingston,

Philip and Nancy Weiss have seen a lot of changes over their 65 years of love and life, including living at Carleton Lodge for almost five years. Ont. Philip said the move gave them a new lease on life. “It gave us a new adventure again,� he said, “and we’ve had it ever since. We’ve created a bond that we’re continued until today.� Admittedly, Philip does a few things today without his best gal. He participates in a musical therapy pilot project and constructively critiques programs at the facility. He goes on day trips to Montreal and Toronto with Stephen and Ben – both of whom live in Ottawa. And he attends painting classes twice a week at the Nepean Sportsplex, where he crafted a lovely, large portrait of Nancy’s face that hangs in his bedroom. While he is still active, healthy and enjoys being so, Philip said he’s not missing out on anything by being with Nancy. He wouldn’t have it any other way. “The medication does something, but the attention helps,� he said. “People need attention. “My advantage is I can give her that. I don’t know if there’s anything more important I can do.�

After struggling to save her own life when she fell into the Rideau River Jan. 31, Monique Lanouette warns people to be more careful when travelling over open water in the wintertime. The south-end Manotick resident was snowshoeing on the river near River Road house, when the ice broke around 1 p.m. “It was horrifying because I didn’t think I was going to pull through,” she said. “I thought I was going to die.” Lanouette quickly submerged below the icy water, with just her shoulders, arms and head above the surface. Despite having flashbacks of her cousin, who died when he drowned in the St. Lawrence River in October 2006, the 62year-old tried her best to remain calm given the circumstances. Lanouette used her life-long swimming skills in a five-plusminute effort to get to safety. “I knew if I remained still I would instantly die of hypothermia,” she said. “I was near a dock so I took my ski pole and

with an enormous amount of effort and time I pulled myself near the dock so I could grab on to the aluminum post and pull myself out of the water.” After an exhausting endeavour, Lanouette walked up to the nearest house, where she pounded on the door in search of help. It wasn’t until she reached the next neighbour – only four houses away from her own – that she was able to find shelter. Jeff Boyd’s garage provided heat and comfort for Lanouette, who then got a long-awaited change of clothing from her husband, Jean. “You were so white,” Jean said, “more than Casper.” Paramedics were called but Lanouette did not need to be taken to hospital. Lanouette said she thought she would be safe on her journey, especially since she and Jean had gone snowshoeing across that same spot just the previous Friday. “I felt quite safe,” she said, “But you can’t trust the river.” National Capital Commission spokesperson Jasmine Leduc said distinguishing between safety conditions on the

Led by the inaugural Do It For Daron – Purple Pledge Day was Feb. 8, the pair are encouraging the community to “harness energy and action to help move youth from feeling sad to feeling empowered.” Schools, hockey teams and youth groups interested in participating in the initiative were asked to wear purple in support of the Royal Ottawa’s Early Identification and Intervention Program for Youth. Money for the Do It For Daron fundraiser must be received by the Royal Ottawa by Feb. 18 and everyone participating will receive a pair of tickets to the Ottawa Senators skills game on Feb. 21. The group that donates the most money will earn four tickets to the Ottawa Senators game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Feb. 26. The Do It For Daron fundraiser was created in memory of Daron Richardson – a Grade 9 student at Ashbury College and a member of the Ottawa Senators AA bantam hockey team. Daron, daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson, died in hospital on 448689

Rideau Canal Skateway and an open water area like the Rideau River is an apples and oranges comparison. In terms of the Rideau Canal, Leduc said 30 centimetres of quality ice is needed before it can be deemed safe. She added that above freezing temperatures, rain and snow have a negative impact. “Snow acts as a thermal blan-

ket and it prevents the ice from growing,” she said. The Lanouettes said they regularly see parents pulling children on snowmobiles. All they advise is for people to be cautious, especially when there’s slush splashing in their wake. She said she’ll stay off the river and stick to the paths adjacent to Doyle Road that she most often uses since the family

moved there in 1976. “There’s a reason I survived this and I think I have to tell people (to be careful) because I think it was a miracle that I survived,” she said prior to overlooking the scene of the accident, which is now marked by an orange pylon. “Now I wake up with a smile on my face, enjoying every minute of life.”

Local Agent Buys Homes for Cash Barrhaven - Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first. You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It's what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it's an extremely anxious position to find yourself in. This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn't sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you never get caught in the Real Estate Catch 22. Before you hire any professional, you should

research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you'll find that most agents simply cannot make such a guarantee. To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled "How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes". To order a FREE Special Report, visit ottawafreehomeinfo or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call toll-free 1-800-217-1897 and enter 4022.

Residents no closer to knowing bus route cuts Transit review short on detail

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The revealing of a long-awaited OC Transpo review doesn’t give residents a clearer picture of which bus routes may be cut this year. After the tabling of the 2011 draft budget, Mayor Jim Watson said the review would give council direction on where $7 million in cuts could be made to the transit budget this year. An additional $15 million is supposed to be saved next year. But the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) review of OC Transpo gave little detail on where those cuts could be made.

Instead, the report congratulated OC Transpo for its “wellrespected” and impressive transit system, strategic direction and management. The peer review also states that OC Transpo has an “unparalleled reach” of 99 per cent of residents living within 400 metres of a transit stop at peak hours in urban areas – a “significantly higher” reach than most other North American transit authorities. The report recommends moving forward quickly on a plan to focus on bus routes that feed into the Transitway. Route cutting and route scheduling are the areas that can lead to the most savings, APTA’s

Greg Hull told the city’s transit commission on Jan. 31. “If you want to be the best, you need to optimize this,” he said. Watson echoed this in a recent speech on the 2011 budget, saying that the city needs to cut back on overlapping routes and “milk runs”. The review criticized OC Transpo’s lack of communications strategy – both within its own organization and to the public. “(OC Transpo needs) to make things simpler and have a more clear message,” said Carl Desrosiers, head of Montreal’s transit authority and one of the volunteer experts who conducted the

APTA review. Alain Mercier, the head of OC Transpo, said a plan to purchase less than 100 double-decker buses could save money because they cost less to operate. Watson said there will be more detail “about the kinds of changes” that could come out of the APTA review during the transit commission’s next meeting on Feb. 16, but changes to individual routes or stops won’t happen until after the 2011 budget is complete. Citizens will get a “pretty good idea” of the scope of the transit changes based on the budget discussions, Watson said. “We’ve cobbled together, based on, at times, political will or whim, a bus system that is no longer sustainable,” he said. “If we don’t make changes to make the system run more efficiently, it’s going to bankrupt us and we are going to lose more and more passengers because they are going to be so dissatisfied with the early buses, late buses and crowded buses.”

FARE INCREASES It’s going to cost you more to take the bus if you use a pass or pay with tickets, but cash fares won’t change. Effective July 1, an adult fare (two tickets) will cost $2.60 – a 10-cent increase. An express fare (three tickets) will go up 15 cents to $3.90, and a rural fare (four tickets) will increase 20 cents to $5.20 per trip. Cash fares will stay the same: $3.25 for a regular trip. If you want to take the OTrain, it will cost you a bit more. The fare will go up 10 cents to $2.85. Passes are also going up. A regular adult monthly pass will cost $94 per month – an increase of $2.50. An express pass will be worth $116 (a $2 increase) and a rural pass will go up to $145 (a $3.25 increase).

Stakeholders try and bring topic out in the open

FEB 12

JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Between four and 10 per cent of seniors experience some form of elder abuse. It’s a statistic that Sofia Aggelonitis, the Ontario minister responsible for seniors called “unacceptable,” and pledged to fight with funding for awareness and prevention. “A lot of people talk about how it’s the silent or hidden crime and that’s something we need to change, get people talking about it so we can stop it,” Aggelonitis said. Aggelonitis met with staff, clients and stakeholders at the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre on Feb. 7 to talk about how different organizations can come together to provide support, end elder abuse and put a positive spin on aging. Helen Smith, chair of the Interfaith Network’s Reaching out to Isolated Seniors program, said that aging is often associated with loss and it’s time to look at the positives. The Interfaith Network, along with HelpAge Canada, the Council on Aging and St. Paul’s University are hosting a conference on spirituality and aging at the university on Feb. 24 to

combat negatives attitudes and foster discussion. MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean Bob Chiarelli was also on hand to talk about the challenges facing isolated seniors and the creation of a new province-wide, 24-hour, toll-free Seniors Safety Line to be used as a resource against neglect, financial, physical, emotional, sexual and mental abuse. The province has invested $900,000 annually for the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (OPNEA). OPNEA is the administration of the Seniors Safety Line and coordinates efforts across the province. Locally Joyce Drouin, the elder abuse prevention coordinator for NROCRC talked about how she works with Ottawa Police Services to investigate claims of abuse locally and what tools she has at her disposal. “When I was growing up no one talked about child abuse, alcoholism and intimate partner abuse, people kept secrets so those things were allowed to continue. Now we have these things out in the open so there are supports for the families and help for those with addictions,” Drouin said. “Now we need to be doing the same thing with seniors.” Drouin, who does an impressive

amount of work with the 20 hours a week she is able to work with the funding NROCRC receives, works with seniors in at-risk situations to find help and support. At 10 a.m. the morning of the conference, she was summoned to the phone and discovered a “serious case” of possible abuse she referred to police. “It’s still happening out there every day in homes you wouldn’t imagine,” Drouin said. “And we need to do what we can to stop it.” Once a case is established, Drouin works with the partner agencies to provide support for the seniors in the community for things like banking and grocery shopping. They also have an emergency bed program where a client will be placed in a bed in a retirement home for seven to 10 days while staff looks at possible next steps. NROCRC also offers free income tax clinics across their catchement for their low-income clients. “Through our Elder Abuse Response and Referral Service we are able to assist seniors who are victims of abuse and neglect,” Sandra Wooley, executive director for NROCRC said. “With the aging baby boomer population, the need for our city-wide service will continue to grow.”

OPINION

Too many questions left unanswered A Barrhaven girl won’t be charged by the Ottawa police after sending them on a wild goose chase last month to track down an alleged sexual attacker. We need to know why. Police sought the public’s help to find potential witnesses, anyone who had seen suspicious behaviour around the Fallowfield Road parkand-ride, the place where the girl said she was dumped after an assault at gunpoint. The community went into panic mode. Memories of a similar attack on Jennifer Teague have bubbled to the surface. Residents are remembering all too clearly, when she was found dead following her disappearance five years ago. Her attacker is serving life in prison. The details in this latest incident were like that portrayed by a crime writer: a male in his 40s, light brown- or olive-skinned, who spoke English with a French-type accent, approximately five foot six, of medium build with a slightly protruding stomach and dark, shaggy ear-length hair. He wore a beige suede coat, blue jeans, black work boots, glasses with thin black rims and a gold wedding band, said the alleged victim. Now, weeks later, police said it didn’t happen

– they couldn’t substantiate it – and charges of mischief won’t be laid. The community has changed its focus of anger from the attacker they were ready to tar and feather to the girl who cried ‘wolf ’… or did she? There are so many questions that are unanswered: Was the false report driven by a personal vendetta or a lovers’ disagreement? Is she mentally unstable? But most importantly to the community, we need answers to two key questions: Why wasn’t the girl charged? And what is the cost to the taxpayer when the police investigate a false claim such as this? A similar incident happened in Hawkesbury when a 15-year-old girl fabricated a story of assault, blamed a boy she went to school with who was subsequently charged. She will appear in court on March 2 to answer to the mischief charges after confessing that it didn’t happen. It makes us wonder why the police won’t elaborate on the specifics of the complex investigation, including the costs to the taxpayers. Doesn’t the public have a right to know? We need answers. Sometimes not knowing creates more tension and panic.

Future shock: The storm is always bigger before it arrives Reading the newspapers and watching TV, you might get the impression that storms are bigger these days. That’s difficult to know, since these things were not always measured with the precision that they are today. But it’s possible. And it’s also possible that it’s the media, not the storms, that are bigger. Storms are covered like never before, from every angle. CNN has photographs from space; the Weather Network has viewer videos of their driveways and tweets from people who have been looking outside. (The network also briefly turned its screen red, always a thrill.) This all comes from the arrival of 24hour news – all-news channels competing with each other, and news websites doing the same. In the struggle to fill all that time and all that cyberspace, any story can become big big big, and the weather is a perfect topic. The process is particularly evident in the U.S., which doesn’t do very well at dealing with snow but excels at covering it. Last week’s storm was all over the American news networks, and well before it even arrived. It was lucky that the crisis in Egypt received any coverage at all. The storm was expected to impact

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town 100 million people, a headline on CNN said, before it began. This in itself was an upgrade from an earlier headline: “Tens of millions of people will be affected.” Meanwhile, split screens showed various U.S. locations that were already affected, and they all looked like Ottawa on a calm day in early December. “This week’s winter storm could be one for record books,” said a headline, two days before the storm arrived. “Will weather snarl Super Bowl travel?” asked another headline. And just to show that Americans are not alone in fearing the worst, the Toronto Globe and Mail headlined: “Southern Ontario braces for a snowy slammer.” There is an important journalistic principle at play here, which is that you can produce much better headlines before the event than after. The storm

may not live up to expectations, but the expectations can produce some real excitement. Will this storm be the worst ever? What if it is? Will the country come to a standstill? Will people freeze? Starve? What is the White House saying? Television does this particularly well, with breathless reporters in storm gear standing in the middle of cities that are expected to be paralyzed with snow, but are not yet. The same principle applies to sports writing, where the Super Bowl is predicted to be the best ever, or political writing, where fireworks are predicted when Parliament resumes. If the Super Bowl is a dud, or Parliament is peaceful (hah!), no one much notices that the predictions are wrong, since the media have already moved on to fevered speculating about other topics. Killer bees could be returning! For news consumers, it’s fine too, since we would sooner read about a storm coming than about a storm arriving. And for Canadian readers, there is the added smug satisfaction of snickering at the winter rookies in the States. Even if the storm does not live up to expectations – a safe assumption – the news media are not to be denied. On the

day the “colossal blizzard,” as it was called, finally arrived, CNN cut to its man in St. Louis, standing there in his red jacket and hat, in the middle of what appeared to be a nice day, with little wind and just a trace of snow on the ground. He pointed at the telephone wires above and said that they could be a problem if ice appeared, which it hadn’t yet. Then he walked over to a car and snapped an icicle off the grill, holding it up to the camera. An icicle! In winter! Has this ever happened? Meanwhile the headlines rumbled on: “Monster storm moves east.” And for all anyone knew, maybe it would.

HYPNOSIS WORKS!

Appreciate – as the centrepiece to their speeches. “My favourite parts were working with my group and drawing the pictures,” said Sara O’Connor, who worked on the Funky Math app. “It’s pretty cool to see what we’ve gone with the games and that it’s on the Internet and iPhones.” Coxall admitted the entire project was an incredible task, with seemingly tiny details such as scaling the app from the size on the computer screen to that on the portable device taking days to complete. He said his pupils have come a long way from writing code from the first time in the fall to having their apps – which were solely designed based on drawings

from the Grade 3s –now available on the iTunes Store free of charge. Grade 10 student Andrew Kidd said getting to mentor younger children was the highlight of the project. He was quick to admit that code writing wasn’t the easiest thing to master though. “So many things would go wrong,” he said, adding a bug before the Christmas break prevented users from ever beating a level. “It was pretty bad.” Grade 3 teacher Cathy Vachon was particularly happy with the way the older youths catered to her students. Vachon taught some of the Grade 10s when they were at St. Luke’s and was proud to see them “shining through.” “As a teacher this is what you dine on.” she said.

Months of hard work and perseverance finally paid off for a group of Mother Teresa High School students as they revealed their educational apps on Feb. 1. The 15 computer science students had been working collaboratively with a class from St. Luke Elementary School since last October and showcased their finished projects in the high school library to their young friends for the first time. The web-based programs were designed for an iPhone or an iPod Touch. “It was good to see that, yes, we could do this,” computer science teacher Patrick Coxall said, adding that he was apprehensive the project would work since the school never tried anything like this before. The initiative was started by the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI), in partnership with IBM and Ottawa Software Cluster, as a way to encourage enrolment in post-secondary school technology programs. Working in small groups with the younger children, the goal of the high schoolers was to learn the Grade 3 curriculum and then design math, English and French and other educational pro-

grams that they be turn into an application. “The best thing to do is show how you make it versus how you buy it,” said Marcellus Mindel, IBM’s head of academic partnerships. “People don’t realize how exciting this field is.” The Mother Teresa students presented each of the nine web-enabled programs over a big-screen projector as the Grade 3s chattered and laughed with excitement. Since the younger students provided the illustrations and concept designs for the apps – named Food Frenzy, Mots, Dino-Sort!, Funky Math, Mathematical, Monster City, Money Madness, and Ninja Plants – they enjoyed the demonstration. But they also liked working with older people and visiting a school most of whom will be attending in a few years. After the demonstration, the Grade 3s thanked the Grade 10s for all their assistance with the project, using ‘App’ words – such as Happy, Approach, and

Seven-year-old Victoria Wilson of North Gower was reunited with flight paramedics on Feb. 4 who helped save her life. Three Ornge paramedics airlifted Wilson by helicopter to the Ottawa Children’s Hospital of eastern Ontario following a playground accident. Victoria was playing in the school-yard October last year, when she knocked heads with another child, bouncing back and crashing into a jungle gym. What seemed like a normal playground accident was diagnosed as a concussion in the emergency room; after being examined by doctors. By the next morning, Victoria was complaining of a headache that necessitated her parents to call 911. A local EMS team determined that Wilson’s playground accident

had resulted in a serious injury. With her heart rate slowing and her actions becoming unresponsive, the parents decided to call Ornge to have her airlifted as time was running out. “It is very hard to put it into words how we were feeling, especially when it is your child and the dire situation she was in. Starting to come to terms with it was a very hard thing to accept,” said Victoria’s father Roger. “It is good to be able to meet the people that helped save my daughter. Without their services and abilities it might have been a very different situation.” According to Ornge paramedics, Victoria’s heart had been damaged, her lungs were full of fluid, and she was relying on 100 per cent oxygen; a later CT scan would reveal that she was suffering from a broken bone in her temple, which had cut an artery and was causing blood to pool inside her brain.

“She all sorts of issues, we had to put an air way into her, and ventilate her to make sure her oxygen levels were adequate,” said paramedic Patrick Auger. “Her condition was critical, you can imagine a bleed on your brain at that point you are dealing with minutes,” Auger said. Ornge paramedics Marcie Beaudoin, Patrick Auger, and paediatric paramedic John Holbrook flew Victoria to CHEO, where she underwent emergency brain surgery to remove a four-inch blood clot that was causing her to suffer mini-strokes. She survived her ordeal, and after two emergency operations on her brain she is recovering at home. “Recovery has been amazing, she is doing very well,” said her mother, Susie. “She still has a weakness on her left hand, her RMI has come back really good, her heart has healed completely and she is doing really well.”

My daughter wants to come in on March Break to do beading. Is there something that my two boys can do? Yes, definitely! Boys love to make beaded spiders, necklaces using sport, wood, bone, glass and metal beads, key chains, book marks, as well as gifts for teachers and the whole family. I’m getting married this summer and would like to make jewellery for my attendants. Is it possible to do so?

What does Electrolysis cost? Electrolysis is charged by the length of time. Therefore the cost depends on the area of the body, and the density of the hair growth. The most common area treated by electrolysis is the facial area, which usually requires 15 minute to 30 minute treatments. During a consultation an electrologist will examine your area, offer you a sample treatment and provide you with an estimate. At that time you will be an informed consumer and know the approximate cost of the treatment for your particular area. Remember electrolysis is permanent; therefore it’s a lifetime investment. Most of my clients’ only regret is that they didn’t begin treatments sooner. Check with your extended health provider as many companies cover facial electrolysis treatments.

My child has been diagnosed with NLD. I have never heard of this and don’t have any idea what to do. NLD stands for Nonverbal Learning Disability. NLD can present in many ways, but is primarily a disability that affects social abilities, math, and written output. Most students with a Nonverbal Learning Disability have above average oral communication skills but lack the ability to understand nonverbal social cues such as body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. This can cause great difficulties for the child in social situations. Children often begin to struggle around grade 3 as the curriculum changes and social situations become more complex. On top of this, children with NLD often have sequencing difficulties which means that even a sequence such as getting up, eating breakfast, brushing teeth and getting dressed can cause difficulty, especially if the sequence changes without notice. A child with NLD needs set routines and constant reminders of what to expect and how to organize things. It is a complicated disability that is often very misunderstood. With social coaching and a team of people who understand NLD, your child can learn to manage this learning disability.

Q. A.

I am very concerned about my 84 year old mother who has been living on her own for 9 years since my father passed away. She is increasingly forgetful and is calling us all the time asking one of us to come over to help her with so many things. She won’t consider moving from her home. Your mom probably is lonely and perhaps this is a great time to talk to her about having a reliable person that she gets to know and trust, come into her home, on her terms and on a regular basis, to help. Increasingly, seniors and their families hire a regular caregiver to help enable the independence of the senior. The families benefit from knowing that their parent is with someone whom they enjoy and trust, helping them with daily tasks ranging from personal care, medication reminders, grocery shopping and meal preparation, to light housekeeping and laundry. The parent benefits from having someone with them on a regular basis whom they enjoy and look forward spending time with. Families, as a whole, benefit because time is better balanced when they are together. Rather than running around doing errands and taking care of their parents, adult children can connect with their parents and enjoy better quality time. Contact Comfort Keepers for more information and a free assessment by our Nurse Case Manager about meeting a trusted and reliable caregiver who will help your parent in their own home.

Tickets on sale for Willy Wonka EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

Tickets go on sale next week for the Greely Players’ annual spring musical, this year a rollicking rendition of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory revamped into Willy Wonka: the Musical. On Feb. 14 residents across the city can reserve their seats for the nonsensical musical playing between March 23 and 27, which boasts a 40-person cast including a number of Ottawa South children playing Oompa Loompas, neighbourhood kids, and of course the five lucky winners of the golden ticket, including Charlie

Bucket himself. Greely Players president Anne Peterson said the musical is a more lighthearted version of the two movie renditions of the classic children’s novel. “There’s more music in it, and its great music,” she added. Peterson said the five golden ticket winners are played by talented young actors from the Ottawa South area, including several from Manotick and one from Greely. John-Alan Slachta from Manotick plays the poor and unassuming Charlie Bucket. Tickets are $15 per adult and $10 for children and seniors, and available through the Greely Players website.

DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

As soon as Nixon Boyd received the news on Feb. 1 of his band’s Juno Award nomination for New Group of the Year, he immediately thought of those who helped him along the way. The guitarist of Manotick’s Hollerado recalled his childhood days in Cold Lake, Alta. where now-Ottawa resident Mary Schmidt taught him the violin and later at Ashbury College where Lionel Tanod assisted him. “One thing I’m really looking forward to his calling up my music teachers and telling them the news because we wouldn’t have inherited this kind of enthusiasm for music or the kind of patience it takes to make it,” Nixon said while travelling to Barrie, Ont. where the band started a two-month tour on Feb. 3. Well, backed by the re-release of Record in a Bag – which was originally available in 2009 on the band’s website, but was officially distributed by the indie rockers last February – it appears Hollerado has now made it. Boyd and his brother Jake eventually moved to Manotick’s Hilltop Drive in their early teenage years. There, they met current lead singer and guitarist Menno Versteeg and later found their bassist Dean Baxter, a St. Pius X Catholic High School grad. Soon after, Hollerado was born. Throw in a few demos since forming in 2007 and, like most bands who get honoured in the new group category, Hollerado isn’t exactly green. But that doesn’t bother the older Boyd, 24, one bit. “Hopefully this will invite more people to know us and listen to our music,” he said. “We’re still new to a lot of people, I’m sure.” Slowly that’s changing though. Armed with catchy tunes like “Americanarama”, “Juliette” and “Got To Lose”, plus songs that incorporate local reference’s like Watson’s Mill, the band has been on a meteoric rise. Hollerado has become regulars at Ottawa’s biggest summer music festival, Bluesfest, even getting to play with famous pop-rockers Weezer last July. “We couldn’t be doing this without people who cared,” Boyd said. Aside from Weezer, Boyd said the Hollerado has drawn inspiration from the likes of Creedence Clearwater Revival and Tom Petty, plus Canadians legends The Band and The Tragically Hip. Boyd said he hopes to meet Neil Young, who will be honoured for the Allan Wa-

Hollerado guitarist Nixon Boyd leaves no doubt where he’s from with his Manotick T-shirt as the local band rocked out at Bluefest last July. The four-piece band was nominated for a Juno Award for New Group of the Year on Feb. 1. ters Humanitarian Award, for enhancing the “social fabric of Canada” at the 40th anniversary ceremony in Toronto on March 27. “Neil Young is one of my favourite artists of all time,” he said. “To get the chance to even see him in the same room is just amazing. If we get the chance to say a few words to him it would be a dream come true.” Boyd admits winning the Juno Award would be great, but he knows they are in good company. Hollerado is up against Die Mannequin, Misteur Valaire, My Darkest Days, and good friends from Said The Whale for the honour. “We feel really proud to be shoulder to shoulder with friends in this category.” Boyd said Hollerado, which last played in Manotick on Dec. 23, is looking forward to returning home this summer and playing in the place where it all started – new fame or not. “Nothing much has changed,” he said. “Later that day (after the nomination) we got together for a rehearsal and it was a great rehearsal because we were in a great mood.”

JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Halfway to his destination, a 46-yearold Glen Cairn man used to have to call his wife and ask where he was going. Glenn Kulka, former Canadian Football League player, professional wrestler and mixed-martial artist, has suffered more than 16 concussions – that’s when he stopped counting. “One doctor estimated it could be as many as 50,” he said. His most recent concussion came after suffering from whiplash in a car accident last June. It left him out of commission for five and a half months. Any over-stimulation – lights, crowds or loud noises – could set off terrible headaches and dizziness, so Kulka was confined to a dark room for two weeks. After the car accident, Kulka said he wouldn’t answer the phone when it rang because he would forget who he was talking to or the subject they were discussing. “It can be embarrassing,” he said. “You just become a former shell of yourself. It’s a hideous thing I wouldn’t wish on anyone.” Recently Kulka began work as a personal trainer for Sculpt Conditioning in Stittsville, which is owned by his wife, Mariko, and Wesley Woods. With all the brain injuries he’s suffered, the father of two young children said the hardest thing is not knowing if

he’ll be around to see his kids grow up. “As long as I can see my kids graduate from college I’ll be happy. I’m not trying to be dramatic – I’m just looking at plain stats. I’m not basing it on my emotions.” He said he wants to educate people on the trauma and side-effects of multiple concussions so they don’t have to suffer the way he has. Dr. Renata J. Frankovich, director with Physiotherapy and Sports Injury centres throughout Ottawa, said there is a concern with multiple concussions in contact sports like boxing, football and hockey. “Multiple concussions are a concern as there is an association later on in life with dementia,” said Frankovich, who has been studying and working with people with concussions for 12 years. She said more research needs to be done on the longer term effects of multiple concussions but it’s a serious concern, especially in children and young adults. “When dealing with young people they have to be very careful that they fully recover from their first concussion before they go back,” said Frankovich. “No one should be participating in sports if they still have symptoms. We need to educate people so they know what the symptoms are and they get properly evaluated.” In rare cases, suffering a second blow while still having symptoms from a first concussion can lead to death for young

Announcement

adults and children. “It occurs in a scenario called Second Impact Syndrome (SIS),” she said. “It’s when an athlete is still having post-concussive symptoms; then they will in some cases go back to play too early and they will sustain a second head injury. Because they haven’t fully recovered, the brain is not able to handle that second impact and it causes severe swelling around the brain, which leads to death. The reported cases have been in very young children and young adults.” She said SIS is rare, especially in adults, but something people need to be aware of. Another concern is the more concussions a person has, the more likely it is that he or she will suffer another. “It can often be less trauma that causes a problem. It’s not the huge hit from behind in hockey into the boards,” said Frankovich, who was the assistant chief medical officer at the Vancouver Olympics. “It’s such little force or impact that causes problems. There’s also concern if you have repeated concussions that the symptoms will be more severe and be longer-lasting.” It’s important for children and young athletes to get checked properly after suffering concussions because they may not be fully aware of their symptoms; a lingering headache could be a sign that the brain hasn’t properly healed and any trauma suffered during that time could potentially do more damage.

“We still need to do research in younger children to see what the longer-term effects are but what I advise is that you be extra cautious with children because they may not be fully aware of their bodies and what they’re feeling,” said Frankovich. Kulka started out his contact sports career playing in the Western Hockey League, where he played for the Medicine Hat Tigers and Spokane Flyers. He played 11 years for the CFL, spent four years as a professional wrestler with the World Wrestling Federation, and fought three MMA fights before retiring. “A metal chair to the head is still a metal chair to the head,” he said about his choreographed WWF (now WWE) fights. Kulka wants to bring awareness to the long-term effects that result from multiple concussions. He wants parents to know it’s not worth it to risk the health of their children if they’ve already suffered concussions in contact sports. “I read a comment from a hockey parent after their kid suffered a concussion and he said ‘what’s he supposed to do, become a swimmer?’ The answer is yes – there’s nothing wrong with being a swimmer. Or look at track and field; anything that minimizes the chance of another concussion. “That’s the worst you can do is push it. Quit living your life vicariously through your kids at the expense of your kids’ health.”

Despite a tough week, the Nepean Raiders (23-20-10) still have an outside chance at home-ice advantage for the first round of the Central Canada Hockey League playoffs. Even though the Raiders went 1-3 during the week ending Feb. 6, they remain tied with the Gloucester Rangers for fifth place in league CCHL standings with 56 points, and are six points behind the Carleton Place Canadians for fourth. With nine games left in the season, the Raiders play Gloucester once, and only play two other games against teams with better records. However a better recent stretch would have helped the Raiders’ odds. Nepean started off its week with a 5-4 loss to the Cumberland Grads on Feb. 1, which saw the Raiders allow two goals in the game’s final two minutes to Curtis Meighan and Kevin Lough. Craig Cowie, Cameron Odam, Cole Weedmark and Felix Boutin scored the Raiders goals, while Dan Altshuller made 21 saves. A night later, the Raiders’ comeback fell short against the Ottawa Jr. Senators as they dropped a 9-4 decision. The Raiders trailed 4-0 midway through the game but clawed back to narrow the gap to one thanks to goals by Boutin, Greg Trichilo and Zach Carriveau. However the Sens scored five of the next six goals, with Boutin netting

After a 4-2 defeat against the Brockville Braves on Feb. 4, where Grant Garvin and Carriveau scored for Nepean – the Raiders got back into the win column on Feb. 6 with a 4-3 over the Hawkesbury Hawks. The Raiders got out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Tanner Williams and Weedmark, while Brent Norris and Cowie scored the others. Altshuller made 29 stops for Nepean. Next up for the Raiders are games against the Cornwall Colts on Feb. 10 and back-to-back games versus the Kemptville 76’s on Feb. 11 and Feb. 13.
