Bridlewood homes flooded Morgan’s Grant residents report water pooling on streets after June 24 storm Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - A strong downpour caused flooding in areas of south Kanata on June 24 after “the worst rainstorm since 2009,” said Coun. Allan Hubley. Environment Canada

reported that 55.6 mm of rain fell in Ottawa on June 24, causing a section of Castlefrank Road near the Winchester Drive intersection to close to traffic when nearly half a metre of water pooled on the road. See RESIDENTS, page 2

Residents report water pooling on Morgan’s Grant roads Continued from page 1

“It was over the bottom of the doors of cars,” said Hubley. “We had several cars stall.” One commuter tweeted that a floating car had to be pushed out of what had become a lake on Castlefrank Road. Despite the excess water on the road, there were no reports of basement flooding in the area, which used to be a concern, said Hubley. “We know the changes made in the road are good because it’s keeping it out of the basement,” though further work will have to be done, he said.

There were reports of basement flooding in Bridlewood, said Hubley, though he put the number at less than 10. There were 157 reports of flooding and drainage issues across the city on June 24, though Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she had heard of none in her ward. Residents reported street flooding of Klondike Road at both Halton Terrace and Laxford Drive with water nearing the tops of car tires. Wilkinson said so long as water is staying on the roads and not getting into houses,

the roads are doing what they are supposed to by acting as a temporary reservoir. The flooding was a far cry from the 2009 storm that caused 1,500 reports of flooding in Ottawa’s west end. Areas known for flooding like Glen Cairn and Katimavik did not report any basement flooding following the July 24 storm, said Hubley. “That’s the area that we’ve been doing a lot of work in to mitigate floods, so that’s good news,” he said. Flood-prevention measures are in the midst of being completed on Belleview and Van-

stone drives, the only roads in south Kanata without a stormsewer system. Rod MacLean, president of the Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association said that water was slow from draining away in the area, “but 10 to 15 minutes after the heavy rain ended, the backed up-water had pretty well drained away. “Once the flood mitigation project is complete the water back up should be cleared

even more quickly,” he said. Hubley said he intends to jump on the flooding issue on Castlefrank Road right away, saying re-paving and re-grading work on the road will start in the first week of July. “It will take most of the summer because we are also changing the sidewalk in that area, but the work will be done, and we shouldn’t have that kind of ponding once the re-paving is done,” he said. Hubley added that part of

the solution rests with residents. At the Castlefrank and Winchester intersection, much of the excess water came from the Kanata Community Christian Reform Church, he said. “The city has asked the church to repair its drains on the private property because that’s the church’s responsibility,” said Hubley, adding that it’s up to residents to ensure that basement windows are closed during heavy rainfalls as well.

Ottawa MPPs keep cabinet roles Staff

News - Liberal MPPs in “team Ottawa” kept their cabinet roles in a recent shuffle at Queen’s Park, with Ottawa Centre’s Yasir Naqvi adding responsibilities as house leader. Naqvi also keeps his recent appointment as minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, a post to which Premier Kathleen Wynne named him in March.

Naqvi previously served as minister of Labour. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli keeps over the high-profile energy portfolio. Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur will continue as attorney general, an appointment she received in March. She also continues her role as minister for Francophone Affairs. Two other Ottawa Liberal MPPs – newly elected Ottawa-Orleans MPP Marie-France Lalonde and John Fraser, who was elected in last year’s byelection – were not added to the cabinet. The size of Wynne’s cabinet didn’t change after the election, with 27

Liberal MPPs serving in the cabinet. Ted McMeekin, an MPP from Hamilton, is now the minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. A renamed Ministery of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure will be headed by Brad Duguid. Jeff Leal adds the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to his portfolio, which already included Rural Affairs.

Deb Matthews has been promoted to lead the Treasury Board, in addition to continuing as deputy leader of the party. Her previous post as Health minister went to Dr. Eric Hoskins, who helped found War Child Canada and held cabinet positions previously.

News - Kanata South residents will see more tall, yellow speed signs in the middle of roads after last year’s testing showed they are working. City stats show the signs, placed on Steeple Chase Drive between Springwater Drive and Forillon Crescent, and McCurdy Drive between Naismith Crescent and Dorey Court, improved compliance with the streets’ speed limit between 30 and 50 per cent. That outcome was enough for Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley to pay out of his office budget for a second year of testing on more streets. “I was skeptical but I was very impressed with the results that we got,” said Hubley of the flex stake stats. The signs, called flex stakes, are used to suggest a speed of 30 kilometres an hour, though the roads they are placed on usually allow up to 40 or 50 kilometres an hour. They also serve to narrow roads, which should also

Teachers roll in mud for orphaned elephant fundraiser Grade 4 student’s initiative raises nearly $1,000 Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - A Grade 4 student’s love of elephants has grown into an innovative fundraiser that had three teachers, one principal and a custodian take a roll in mud on June 27. The Great Elephant Mud Roll at Stephen Leacock Public School was dreamed up by Grade 4 student Laila Burns whose trips to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya kindled in her a love for elephants. “They are really cute,� said Laila, “and I really like that they can play soccer and that they have their own personalities.� Elephants continue to be hunted for their tusks, leaving orphaned elephants behind. “I don’t like what is happening and I don’t want elephants to go extinct,� said Laila. That was when she started her first fundraiser at her school last year, which raised $350 for the wildlife trust to help orphaned elephants. This year, Laila wanted to go with something different and, with the help of staff at the school, created the mud roll event. Students, teachers and parents could donate a dollar to purchase a vote to help decide which of 20 staff volunteers would take the roll. The event caught on, with students and staff competing to have their teacher or staff member be one of the five to get muddy. When the votes were tallied, it

was the school’s head custodian, Stephen Van Rumpt, teachers Anne Marie Marcell, Sylvie Denoncourt, Wendy Cole, and the school’s principal, Pauline McKenna who had the honour of doing as the elephants do. The spectacle was a delight for students on the last day of school, where cheers of “belly flop� and others were heard from the crowd. “I thought that was really funny,� said Laila who was on hand with a

hose to make sure the mud was sufficiently mucky. “Everybody was cheering and it was better than I thought it would be.â€? McKenna said the roll was great fun, though a little chilly to start. “It was soft mud ‌ so it didn’t hurt when I had to do the belly flop,â€? she said. The event raised $941, said Laila, which is more than a dollar per student. The money, along with $500 raised by Kanata United Church, will be going to the wildlife trust to support their orphan elephants program, which has raised more than 150 orphan elephants and successfully re-integrated them into

Councillor pays out for more traffic calming measures budget for traffic-calming measures, leaving councillors to pay for them out of their office budgets. Hubley, who is vice-chair of the transportation committee, said he has no problem with the practice, saying

he is paying to test various traffic calming measures so he can better secure funds from the city later. “There may be five more streets where I want to put up flex stakes, so next year after two years of suc-

cess with the program, I can go to the city and say, ‘OK, I want these five streets, please budget accordingly,’� said Hubley. With files from Laura Mueller

On McCurdy Drive where the speed limit is 40 kilometres and hour, the average speed of drivers went from 43 to 36 kilometres an hour with a 50 per cent improvement in compliance. Once the signs were removed from Steeple Chase, as they cannot be used in the winter, compliance with the speed limit stayed at about 76 per cent, up from 50 per cent before the signs were introduced. However, when the signs were removed from McCurdy, compliance actually went down to 27 per cent, eight per cent below compliance before the signs were introduced. Nonetheless, Hubley said he was impressed with the results of the signs, and will expand their use to Equestrian Drive and Chimo Drive by paying for it out of his office budget. “I’m paying to do this because if we go on the list for the city to pay for it, it takes longer and I want to do it now,� he said. He pointed to the improved compliance on McCurdy where there are two schools. “Anything we can do to improve the compliance with the

speed zones means a safer street for families and children.� In addition to the flex stake signs, Hubley said the city will also test speed limit pavement markings where the speed limit is painted on the road. They have shown an improvement in compliance when tested in the Alta Vista area, and can be used year-round. Pavement markings have been painted on Bridle Park Drive, and Hubley plans to have painting done on Chimo Drive as well. Councilors paying out of their office budgets for traffic calming measures has become a contentious issue at city hall, with some councilors saying the practice is not fair. Hubley said that every year he has an excess office budget of between $20,000 and $25,000, and instead of giving the money back to the city, he is now choosing to use it in his ward. “For those (councillors) that don’t have the money, then they’ve got to wait in the queue until when there is money in the transportation budget,� he said. The city’s transportation committee has refused to create a citywide

Living under the gun

O

ttawa police are investigating the latest incident of gun-related violence in Herongate, after two men staged a wild-west style shootout in the streets of the south Ottawa community in broad daylight on June 17. Such a brazen display of violence – which could have resulted in the death of an innocent bystander – should have lit a fuse among city councillors. But so far city hall’s collective silence has been deafening. Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, who represents the embattled neighbourhood, was dismissive when asked if a collaborative effort among police, city officials, tenants and property owners might help improve neighbourhod safety. “To do what?� said Hume in an interview earlier this month with the Ottawa South News. “To prevent two people from having an argument?� The councillor went on to say that Herongate residents don’t have to worry about being on a street corner and having some car drive by and shoot at you.

While the recent shooting was a targeted attack according to Ottawa police, we beg to differ. In March, police investigated a shooting near the Herongate Mall. Only a year earlier, someone shot at a vehicle filled with people during an early-morning drive-by shooting. In 2011, the city had 23 shootings; in 2012: 32 shootings, 2013: 30 shootings and year to date in 2014: 18 shootings. Eventually, a bystander will get caught in the crossfire. Hume’s suggestion that more “boots on the ground� are needed is a welcome one – but perhaps a more appropriate forum for that suggestion would be an open meeting, where he could speak directly to his constituents. The number of gun crimes in south Ottawa should be a top item on city council’s radar. If the neighbours’ consensus that things are getting worse is unfounded, the city and and the police should say so in an open public meeting addressing a serious community safety concern.

anadians think they have a pretty good sense of who they are, especially as summer kicks in. We all wear red on Canada Day, then hop into our cars and vans and head up to the lake, where we splash about, listen to the loons and behave, within reason, something like those happy folks in the beer commercials. It’s a comforting self-image, especially comforting in the endless cold winter months, when we behave like the other kind of Canadians -- buried in winter clothing as we dig the car out and try not to think about Florida. Well, it’s sad when our notions about ourselves are challenged, but it happens. As in a short note contained in a clump of statistics in a recent Globe

Many questions arise, one of which concerns the fact that a mere 17 per cent of us can still clog the highways on the way to the lake. Imagine if we all did what we expect ourselves to do, namely head out of town. Now, a whole cottage industry, as it were, has been built on the notion that

Canadians are an outdoorsy people. Sure, most of us live in cities, but we can’t wait to get out of them. We want to sit on the dock, drink beer around the campfire, make love in a canoe, catch a big bass, have nature walks with our kids, read mystery books in hammock, tell stories about bears we almost saw. Advertisers pitch commercials to us, celebrating that image. Newspapers and magazines feature lifestyle articles about cottage real estate. But something has gone wrong. Perhaps the rapidly escalating cost of cottage properties has finally had its effect. Perhaps it’s the cost of gasoline. Have we, and the people who market to us, been wrong all these years?

Now we have to contemplate the idea that the typical Canadian spends his summer weekends cowering in an apartment, wearing shoes and watching Netflix in the air conditioning. But can you do that, be a city person, and feel like a real Canadian in the summertime? The consolation is that you are in good company. On any given long weekend, the great majority of the population is with you, smelling the exhaust fumes and not hearing loons. So maybe what you should be doing, while the other 17 per cent frolic in the lake, is come up with a brand new Canadian mythology. Perhaps the mythical new Canadian is an environmentalist who cuts greenhouse gas emissions by not driving on the weekends. Perhaps he is a nature lover who spares the birds and animals the terror of fireworks going off in the

middle of the night. Perhaps he has a well-developed sense of style and doesn’t want to get insect repellent on his nice clothes. I don’t know. Do we want that to be described that way? If not, we’d better hit the highway some time soon.

Mind your head C anada Day often marks the official start of summer in this country. My children enthusiastically embrace the outdoors, including camping, climbing and all the outdoor sports which have time limited seasons in Canada’s short non-winter months. With all these activities come inherent risks of course. One of the most concerning for many parents, including me, is the risk of concussion. Until recently, I wouldn’t have had a clue what concussion symptoms look like, particularly if my child suffers without losing consciousness. This changed last month. On June 25, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario released the first ever set of pediatric concussion guidelines for doctors, parents, teachers and caregivers of children. Developed by CHEO scientist Dr. Roger Zemek in co-operation with the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation,

the guidelines are the first of their kind designed to help diagnose and treat concussion in youth. One thing I hadn’t realized is that concussion can occur with any blow to the head, face or neck. Symptoms include more obvious things like loss of consciousness, blurred vision and headaches. But there are also a number of not-so-obvious things, such as neck pain, irritability, sensitivity to light, fatigue and sickness. Red flag signs include the above, along with vomiting, amnesia, weakness or tingling in arms and legs and any noticeable sharp behavioural changes.

One of the things Zemek stresses is to pull kids out of activities immediately if there’s even a suspicion a child has suffered concussion. First aid should be performed immediately. Helmets should be left intact in case there is damage to the spinal cord. With mounting evidence of the long term negative impact of untreated concussion on children’s development, the most important treatment recommendations are around rest. Too often, says Zemek, children suffer concussion but are not given the appropriate time outs they require from both intellectual and physical

pursuits. In order for the brain to heal appropriately, for example, kids need to truly rest in a low light environment, including the absence of screen technology. “The child should not exercise, go to school or do any activities that make them worse, like riding a bike, playing wrestling, working on the computer or playing video games,” state the guidelines for parents. “If your child goes back to activities before they are completely better, they are more likely to get worse and have symptoms longer.” One thing that I found most startling in the guidelines is the length of time for recov-

ery from concussion. After 15 days, 25 per cent of children are fully recovered. After 26 days, about half of kids are ready to return to normal activity. But it can take 90 days or more for the majority of kids to feel completely normal. The comprehensive recommendations also offer a return-to-normal activity schedule for kids that have suffered concussion, varying from complete rest to limited schooling, and then moderate (non-contact) physical activities, gradually working their way back to playing sports and a full school curriculum over time. I like my kids to take risks, within reason. I want them to R0302496643

play soccer, climb ropes and ride bicycles (with a helmet, of course). The CHEO guidelines are a user-friendly manual that can help my kids – and their mom – to experience these things without fear that a concussion will cause permanent developmental problems. And if my eldest son gets his way and starts playing tackle football next year, well, I’ll be sure to get some baseline neurological testing done – as per the recommendations – and pay the big bucks for the best helmet around. Or maybe I’ll just talk him into something a little less dangerous, like water polo. For now, let the summer games begin.

Opinion - After a number of years of planning and waiting, followed by a very busy year of construction, last Saturday marked a momentous day in the life of Trinity Presbyterian Church. The dream that began in 2000 of building a new church has finally been realized and the construction of the new church at 1817 Richardson Side Rd. is now complete enough to allow the congregation to begin moving in. It has been an eagerly anticipated event. The sale of Trinity’s previous location at 110 McCurdy Dr. took longer than hoped and construction was halted for a time but the final sale to such a worthy organization as Hospice Care Ottawa made the wait well worth it! Immediately, upon completion of the sale, Hawkey Church Management Ltd and many volunteers began construction once again, under the capable leadership of Trinity Building Committee chair, Bob Connelly. Like most construction projects, unavoidable obstacles such as our extremely cold winter have delayed the original expected opening date but again the outcome is going to be well worth the wait. Soaring ceilings, incredible flow of light, the unique design by the firm of, Vandenberg & Wildeboer Architects Inc., and the outstanding kitchen make this remarkable new church a worthy tribute to the cause for which it was built. Those who contributed so much to this project can be duly proud of their achievements, especially Connelly who could be found at the site daily, at all hours. “Working on the project with all the volunteers has been inspiring,” said Connelly. “All of us felt gratified and rewarded by our sense of taking ownership in this magnificent building that we hope will serve the community well.” Trinity plans to soon be able to leave their transition meeting place with their gracious hosts, Kanata Christian Reformed Church, to whom Trinity is very grateful for such warm and supportive hospitality.

Meanwhile, many plans, bookings and rentals are already in progress for the new church for a wide variety of activities and community services. The congregation is eagerly awaiting the first of their Sunday worship services which will be held at 10 a.m. and will begin as soon as the finishing touches are complete and all inspections and permits are in place, a date soon to be announced. One program already in place though, is the vacation bible school program. It will run from July 21 to 25 and is a fun filled week for kids from junior kindergarten to Grade 6. The wind up celebration service which always follows this exciting week and gives the kids a chance to show their parents what the week was all about, promises to be extra special this year with the attendance of a representative from the Ryan’s Well Foundation, the mission project which the bible school is helping to support this year. What a unique opportunity for children to hear firsthand how, they too can make a difference. Spaces are still available; check out the Trinity web site for more information. Of course, Trinity is eager to share this amazing facility with all the community for all kinds of events including a grand Open House Drop In, on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 1 to 4 p.m.. Everyone is invited to this, not to miss, event featuring tours of the new building, refreshments, kids’ activities and crafts, special Youth entertainment, musical performances, bell choirs, songs and guaranteed fun and popcorn. To quote Shaun Seaman, pastor at Trinity, “More than a decade has passed between the idea and the reality. We are now on the edge of completing the dream. We are now tremendously equipped to engage with and support the people and organizations in this community. “I can’t wait until we can open our doors with a warm welcome to one and all.” For more information visit wwwtrinitykanata.ca or call 613-836-1429.

City awards grocery store owner for her charity work Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News – Bridlewood resident and business owner Laura Dubois was presented with the Mayor’s City Builder Award by Mayor Jim Watson and Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley on June 25. The award was in recognition of the support and contributions Dubois makes to schools, charities, sports clubs and other groups as the owner of Laura’s Your Independent Grocer at the Hazeldean Mall. After seven years of owning the store, Dubois has given in hundreds of ways but she never expected to be recognized for the charitable work she does. “Giving back is part of the budget,” she said. “If we are fortunate enough to be on the positive side of zero, then how can we give back?” Dubois said she is blessed to be in a position to give as much as she does, and to work in the industry she loves. She has worked in grocery stores since the age of 15, starting out as a cashier as her first job in high school. “It was the job that was supposed to get me to my real job, and somewhere along the line it stopped being a part time job,” said Dubois. “I finished university and never wanted to leave. My passion for being in the grocery business was already built in from 10 years of that process and I just had no interest in leaving after that,” she said. The pinnacle of her career had been as a store manager for one of the major corporate grocery stores, but moving to Kanata to start her own store showed her what it really

meant to give back. “I had no idea what being a part of the community meant in full capacity until I was here,” she said. “I thought I was part of the community in the corporate stores, but I wasn’t personally involved.” Now, she said she is happy to not only donate food for the local barbecue but flip the burgers too. Dubois and her store donate in many ways, including being heavily involved in the Kanata Food Cupboard’s fresh produce initiative where those in need of food actually get to shop in the food cupboard’s mock grocery store for more than just canned goods. “This way it’s a real grocery store atmosphere where you can go and get a bag of potatoes, some fresh carrots and some apples,” she said, making meals for those in need more nutritious. One of the programs closest to her heart is their senior pick-up program, said Dubois. Those with injuries or who cannot go shopping for themselves can phone in their order to Dubois’ store, which is collected free of charge, and then delivered by a third party service. Being able to choose the groceries you want is something Dubois doesn’t underestimate. “My mother was very sick from MS and died very young, and I just have this memory of how grocery shopping was linked to her independence, and even when she physically couldn’t get out, selecting and

knowing that she wants that rib steak that is on sale and having somebody bring it, it really helped her,” she said. But perhaps the greatest bit of giving Dubois ever did was during the flood after a freak rainstorm in 2009. For days, Dubois drove about in her van handing out pizza, chicken, chili and other food to those who couldn’t enter their homes or who were too exhausted to think about cooking. “That might have been the personal best moment to be a part of a community,” said Dubois. “To be able to just slow down and hand out pizza out the window, it was incredible. I am so, so lucky,” she said. Dubois said she averages five requests a day for donations, and admits she can’t always say yes. But she said she is blessed to be able to give as much as she can. A big part of that isn’t ADAM KVETON/METROLAND about her, she said, but those Laura Dubois was honoured with the Mayor’s City Builder Award on June 25 for her donawho work for her. tions and support for charitable organizations and other groups during her seven years When she received the owning a grocery store in the Hazeldean Mall. award, Dubois said, “I felt proud - proud of my store, proud of all of the team members that are here – because I’m just one body. I don’t put the special orders together and make sure they are organized properly. “I’m involved, but the team of people here are just incredible and I couldn’t do what I want to do unless I had them.” To celebrate Dubois’ award, Coun. Hubley will be holding a barbecue in front of her store on July 19 between 2 and 5 p.m.

Wood-worker crafts honour for sea cadets Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - It’s taken six years and hundreds of hours of work, but wood-working hobbyist Luc Renaud was happy to present the Lanark Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps with his model of their namesake ship on June 6. The more than two-metre long model of the HMCS Lanark includes approximately 2,500 individual pieces, said the Kanata resident, though he admits he eventually stopped counting. “It was a ridiculous number,” he said. Taking six years and 789 hours to make, Renaud said the ship is the biggest model he’s ever made, and the longest project he’s had. But it was worth it for Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps 211 which helped to mold his two sons into fine young men, he said. “To say thank you, I decided to build (the corps’) own ship,” said Renaud. The corps had known about his project, and were happy to see the final product at its ceremonial parade on June 6. “It’s an honour (to receive the ship),” said the corps’ commanding officer, Daniel Denief. “The quality of workmanship and the time put into it is phenomenal.” Every sea cadet corps in Canada is named after a particular ship, said Denief. He described the model as a link to the past, and a way for cadets to see a bit of their history. “They can look at it and say, ‘Hey, this is where we came from,’”

Now, the ship rests permanently mounted at the corps’ headquarters at 137 John St. where people can see it every Thursday night between 6 and 9 p.m. during the corps’ bingo night. The weekly event is the corps’ most important fundraiser, allowing them to continue operating. Those at the first bingo night after the ship was put in place were amazed, said Denief. Renaud has been working with wood since the age of eight when

his parents gave him his first wood tool kit as a Christmas gift. Renaud started constructing bird houses and play sets for his G.I. Joe toys. “My father showed me how to use the tools properly without losing a finger or something else,” he said. Renaud’s passion for woodworking slowed when he met his wife, but was rekindled with the birth of his sons as he built things for them. That evolved into creating elabo-

rate Halloween decorations with his sons, including an electric chair, a life-sized coffin and a guillotine. But after his sons went through the sea cadet program, Renaud wanted to say thank you. From research on the ship, Renaud learned the HMCS Lanark was launched in 1943, taking part in the Battle of the Atlantic. The ship had a long life, and was sold and then repurchased by the Royal Canadian Navy, before it was finally decommissioned in 1965. Renaud chose to model the first

version of the ship, working in details as small as a pair of binoculars on the upper deck, the ship’s bell and depth charges. “I could have kept on going … but they would have never seen the ship,” said Renaud. Asked how it felt to surrender his project, he said, “I felt proud to give it to the corps because they’ve done so much good with our kids. “I felt good because I was giving something back. They gave so much to my kids and my kids turned out great.”

Public, media key in bank spree arrest adam.kveton@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

A man was arrested in relation to four bank robberies committed over June 23 and 24 after police circulated photos of the suspect, shown here.

News - A 34-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with four counts of robbery after a two-day bank theft spree ended with the help of the public and media. The man was arrested by plainclothes Ottawa police officers while on a street the morning of June 25, said robbery unit Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch. Haarbosch said he would not release the location where he was arrested, or exactly what it was that led to locating the man, but said the help of the public and media were key. “(Media and public assistance) directly led to the quick arrest,” said Haarbosch. The 34-year-old man was charged in relation to four bank robberies, two of which occurred on June 23, and two on June 24. Both days, the bank robberies occurred in banks very close to each other, and within a time span of a few hours. “That’s not something we see very often,” said Haarbosch. The June 23 robberies took

place in banks in the 1400 block of Richmond Rd, while the June 24 robberies occurred in the 400 and 500 blocks of Hazeldean Rd. All four robberies unfolded in the same way, say police. Each time, a suspect, described as a 1.8 metre tall white man with a thin build wearing a bright orange, construction-style jacket, provided a note to a bank teller demanding money, says an Ottawa police news release. The suspect then fled the premises with a quantity of cash. Police would not disclose the amounts taken, but said a small quantity of cash was recovered from the 34-year-old upon arrest. Haarbosch noted that, while no weapon was seen, the man who committed the robberies “insinuated a weapon was present.” Whether or not a weapon is present is irrelevant to police, said Haarbosch, as a suspect is treated as potentially armed nonetheless. “The only significant difference it makes is moving forward with the charges after they are laid as far as potential sentencing goes,” he said. Haarbosch called the arrest “a

great result for all the units that were involved. “Given the way these unfolded, two robberies in two consecutive days, we can expect that they would have continued had an arrest not been made,” he said. “We feel that in all likelihood we prevented additional robberies from occurring as well as a result of the arrest,” said Haarbosch. He added that the help of the

public and the media in distributing information and photos, and helping to identify the suspect was “incredibly useful,” saying that assistance from both groups “directly led to the quick arrest.” Police ask that anyone with information with respect to these robberies or others contact the robbery unit at 613-236-1222 ext.5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Beat the Bite! Are mosquitoes stopping you from enjoying your time outdoors? Mosquitoes aren’t just pesky and annoying; they can also be the source of disease, such as West Nile Virus. West Nile Virus is a potentially serious illness that is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. Research shows that four out of five people bitten by an infected mosquito do not show any symptoms. Those who do show symptoms will experience mild illness including fever, headache, body aches, nausea and/or vomiting, and occasionally a skin rash on the trunk of the body. Some individuals - particularly the elderly - may develop permanent neurological damage due to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), that can result in death. To reduce the risks associated with West Nile Virus, Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile Virus.

Mosquitoes are attracted to and breed in water. Help get rid of mosquitoes around your home by reducing areas or objects that retain standing water. Some easy ways to reduce places where mosquitoes breed include: • Regularly empty containers that can collect water such as flower pots, pet dishes, pool covers, buckets, barrels. • Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use. • Regularly clean clogged eavestroughs. • Remove unused tires that can collect water.

Some important tips to avoid West Nile Virus: • Apply an approved mosquito repellent containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing.

• Change the water in wading pools, bird baths and pet bowls twice per week. • Cover rain barrels with screens. • Use an aerator in garden ponds to keep surface water agitated; mosquito larvae will not survive.

• Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin.

• Keep swimming pools clean and properly chlorinated; remove standing water from pool covers.

• Wear light colours- mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours.

• Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left outdoors so that water can drain out.

• Avoid outdoor hours between dusk and dawn – periods when mosquitoes are most active. • Make sure all windows and doors in your home have screens that are in good condition.

For more information or questions regarding mosquito prevention and West Nile Virus, visit ottawa.ca/WestNileVirus or contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580- 6744 (TTY: 613 580- 9596). R0012516719-0703

voice capable of carrying her across many musical genres, Francis also plays piano, drums, harmonica, upright bass and guitar. “She attacks anything she does with a dedication that is beyond me,� said her father, Kiran Francis. “I’m very proud of her.� The All Saints Catholic High School student said she’s been singing for as long as she can remember, and began performing at the age of seven. Since then she’s performed her eclectic mix of jazz, blues, R&B, soul, folk, rock, and reggae across the continent, appearing on the Gayle King show in the United States and the Honey Jam Show in Toronto. She opened for Trooper last year, and was a She’s The One finalist in 2011. This year, the teen will have a busy weekend as she performs a solo set at Bluesfest on July 4 and then heads to Toronto for the Canadian Emerging Blues artist final competition on the evening of July 5, after she performs for She’s The One. This is the contest’s fourth year, and it’s been tweaked a bit in honour of Bluesfest’s 20th anniversary, according to Bluesfest’s community program co-ordinator Ana Miura. Previous years have focused on female artists of any age, but this year the field has been narrowed to young singers aged 13 to 19.

Kanata singer to compete at Bluesfest Yerestsian is best known for his work on Christina Perri’s single Jar of Hearts, which has garnered more than 110 million views on Youtube since its release in 2010. The trip for two also includes a celebrity makeover and photo shoot, a recording session with Yeretsian and a music video shoot. “Essentially it’s a career building opportunity for a young singer,” Miura said. “It’s a whirlwind trip and a huge opportunity for some young female Canadian.” “That would be an amazing experience to meet some of the big people in this industry and better understand what it’s all about,” Francis said.

“I’m still early in developing and I want to learn more from those people.” But some things she’s already figured out for herself. Francis writes all of her own songs, and said she tries to bring a positive message to her audiences. “All of my songs contain messages about struggles within ourselves, positive messages about changing the world for the better,” she said. “I hope that my experiences that I express in my songs will connect with someone else.” Although it’s billed as a national contest, this year’s field includes four local contenders out of the 10 finalists. Along with Francis, Greely resident Stephanie La Rochelle will offer her Broadway vocals and

Mooney’s Bay teen Taylor Angus will bring an indie pop sound similar to New Zealand’s Lorde. The fourth Ottawa native is Justice Tremblay. Along with the four Ottawa singers, the nation-wide contest also includes contestants from all corners of the country – stretching from Corner Brook, Newfoundland to Vernon, British Columbia. “I think it’s going to be really cool to see everyone,” La Rochelle said. “It’s an emerging artist contest, so everyone is different. I’m excited to see what everyone else brings.” The contest will take place July 5 between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Barney Danson Theatre inside the Canadian War Museum.

Irish sport gains foothold with kids in Beaverbrook Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Ireland’s most popular game has taken root in Beaverbrook, where an Irish coach and his family have started an introductory camp for Gaelic football. Over the past several weeks, children ages five to 12 have been participating in Kanata’s first-ever Gaelic football camp, which has attracted double the number of children expected. The game combines aspects of soccer, basketball, football and volleyball and is played on a grass field. Players carry what looks and feels like a heavy volleyball a total of four steps before passing the ball with a palm bump or kick as both teams of up to 15 players try to score points by passing the ball through a goal or between a set of uprights. Gaelic football coach and native of Ireland, Noel McGinnity, has spearheaded the effort, with the help of his family and local parents. But it was the hope that his young children might grow up playing the sport he played as a child in Ireland that inspired the effort. McGinnity moved to Ottawa in 2000, and didn’t expect there to be

much of a Gaelic football presence. “I came here and I was surprised that they even had a team going,� he said. Becoming a member of the Ottawa Gaels, he later became the group’s youth development officer after helping get Gaelic football introduced into the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Grade 7 and 8 physical education curriculums. While McGinnity has been working to introduce more kids to the game across Ottawa, this effort is the first attempt to introduce kids of such a young age in a specific community and who have no past experience with the game. The response has been greater than he was prepared for, said McGinnity. “We were saying at the start, if we could get 20 kids together, that would be great; but we got 45, so we pretty much exceeded what we wanted to do,� he said. The camp had so many more kids than expected that McGinnity had to call in back up from the governing body of Gaelic football in Ireland. “We said, ‘Listen, we won’t be able to handle this,’� said McGinnity.

Riverside South students win chance to play hockey with a pro Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

National Hockey League player Calvin de Haan gives out high-fives to Steve MacLean Public School students following a ball-hockey game with the pro on June 20. Ten students from the school and another 10 from St. Jerome School in the community won the chance to play with the New York Islanders defenceman through a contest offered by South Ottawa Race Day organizers. that were thrust his way fast enough. “The kids were over the moon and that’s exactly what we hoped for when we set it up,” said Fraser Thom, a race day organizer, who arranged for de Haan’s visit. He knows de Haan, and is friends with his agent. “It’s great for Calvin to do this and put the effort into the kids and the schools and the communities,” said Thom, a Riverside South resident whose daughter attends Steve MacLean school. “I think he hard a hard time not being able to sign every single autograph. Even as he walked through the fence he snuck in a few last autographs. “That’s exactly what you want and why you put the effort in to putting it together and that’s what he wanted, too,” the organizer said. “At the end of the day, South Ottawa Race Day is largely about kids and about communities supporting a great cause.”

News - It was difficult knowing who was more excited, the professional hockey player, the students he was about the play shinny with or the young fans who cheered from the sidelines. This was the scene at Steve MacLean Public School and St. Jerome School in Riverside South on June 20, as 10 players from each school grabbed their sticks to play ball hockey in two separate games alongside Calvin de Haan, a defenceman for the New York Islanders. “He’s really good,” said 10-year-old Nick Auns, a Grade 4 student at Steve McLean school. Nick was one of the winners of a special contest held by the South Ottawa Race Day organizing committee to entice children and families to register for the upcoming Oct. 28 event during a oneweek period. Ten students from each school won the chance to play hockey with de Haan, while two more were awarded tickets to the July 16 Katy Perry concert. “It was pretty exciting news when he got home and (said) his name was picked and he got to play an NHL player,” said Nick’s father, Dan Auns, who was mistaken a few times following the game by Steve MacLean students who thought he was de Haan. “He’s been excited ever since,” he said. “He was bouncing off the walls for four days. This is the talk of maybe the year, I think.” Nick had already planned to sign up to take part in the five-kilometre race during South Ottawa Race Day. He and his parents participated last year. The race is a fundraiser that supports brain cancer research through the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. To date, it has generated $170,000. Organizers are hoping to raise another $100,000 this year. “That’s the other thing, the committee members look

at proposals and we decide which projects we think the money should go towards,” said race day co-chair Karen Hill. “So we’re kind of a part of that through the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.” Her co-chair is Karen Sinclair, whose neurosurgeon husband helps them choose which projects would benefit from financial support. Many of these projects focus on glioblastoma melanoma or GBM tumours, a type of fast-acting brain tumour that killed a close friend of the organizers. Very little research has been done on GBM because this cancer grows so quickly, Hill said. The race-day committee is encouraged in their efforts by the community as well as sponsors who have supported the cause. “We kind of went in blind thinking it would be a nice little run in the park, and it exploded in our first year,” Hill said. “At the time that (our friend) died, we knew nobody else, and since then we know three people in our neighbourhood alone that have it.” This marked the first year organizers enticed possible registrations with prizes. In addition to Steve MacLean and St. Jerome schools, they’re planning to reach out to students at St. Francis Xavier and École Élémentaire Bernard-Grandmaître, and encourage them to take part in the race. Auns said the prize of playing hockey with a professional athlete was icing on the cake for an event the family looks forward to supporting every year. “It’s a great way to support the neighbourhood and support the cause,” he said. Once the shinny game was over, students flooded the play area behind the school to beg de Haan for autographs. The NHL player, who is from Carp and attended All Saints Catholic High School in Kanata, couldn’t sign the ball caps, papers, notebooks, mini hockey sticks and T-shirts

University of Ottawa suspends men’s hockey program Team won’t participate in 2014-15 season following investigation into misconduct allegations Steph.willems@metroland.com

Sports - Allegations of drinking and sexual misconduct stemming from a February incident in Thunder Bay have sidelined the University of Ottawa’s varsity men’s hockey program for the coming year. University president Allan Rock made the announcement at a media conference on June 25, where he revealed the results of an internal review of the school’s sports teams, but not the findings of an independent investigation aimed at discovering what exactly occurred in Thunder Bay. In addition to the cancellation of the 2014-15 season for the men’s hockey team, Rock announced that the program’s head coach has been “relieved of his duties,” The coach, Rock said, was not involved in the alleged activities that spawned the investigation, though he failed to report them to the university. Rock said, however, that the coach had attempted to discipline the offending player or players on his own. An investigation by the Thunder Bay police has recently wrapped up, though no announcement has been made as to what it discovered, or whether any charges will be laid. The university’s own inquiry, conducted by independent investigator Steven Gaon, revealed the need for further suspension of the team, yet no details were revealed by Rock during the conference. “We now have Gaon’s findings, but they will not be made public,” said Rock. “We want to avoid any interference with the ongoing police investigation, and respect the university’s privacy obligations. I can tell you that Gaon’s findings revealed that the behaviour of some individuals in Thunder Bay on the weekend in question was unacceptable. Their be-

haviour did not meet the university’s expectations of our student athletes and was not in keeping with the university community’s values.” Rock said the university will immediately implement all of the recommendations made by the two external experts brought on to audit how the school manages its sports programming, adding that many will be in place by fall of this year. The report and recommendations compiled by Dr. Lorne Adams and Manon Vaillancourt affect all 11 varsity sports teams and 19 competitive teams, and focus on student and staff behaviour and responsibilities. For student athletes, they request an updating of the university’s sports services policies into a written and electronic handbook detailing the school’s expectation of behaviour and responsibilities in regard to alcohol and drug use, harassment and discrimination, hazing, and travel and social media. Annual mandatory varsity and competitive club student orientation sessions would see staff and coaches review the behavioural guidelines prior to the start of their competitive seasons. As well, all student athletes would have to sign off on their understanding of what’s expected of them in terms of their behaviour and the new guidelines. Coaches would see their handbooks updates with new operational policies as well as new guidelines for player behaviour, and would attend fall seminars with other coaches in order to better understand the policies. Like the students, the coaches would also have to sign off on their knowledge and understanding of the new policies. The university’s sports services department would create an ethics and discipline committee to review

incidents relating to misconduct and violations of behavioural guidelines. Annual reviews of all policies, practices and procedures relating to student athlete behaviour will also be required. Asked whether he might be “jumping the gun” by enacting sweeping changes and lengthening the suspension before the police reveal their findings, Rock said he didn’t believe so. “There are two dimensions to this,” he said, stating the police have an investigation to run and he had a university to run. “We’re looking after things that fall within our responsibilities.” Rock was careful not to implicate the entire team in the controversy, which certainly doesn’t involve all members. He admitted the suspension of the entire team unjustly punished those who weren’t involved in the alleged incidents. “I am very much aware that for those members of our hockey team who were not in Thunder Bay or who were present but took no part in the alleged events, this has been an especially difficult time,” said Rock. “The shadow cast by the allegations of misconduct has affected all members of the team, some unfairly. At same time, I’m going to ask for understanding of the difficult position in which university finds itself. We cannot name names, for fear of doing greater injustice or running afoul of the law ourselves. We can only wait, as we all must wait, for the police investigation to run its course, hoping that when it concludes, it will add greater clarity.”

Week in Review Last week we experienced a severe rain event that tested our storm water management system. It is important to remember that water on the street is a good sign as it means it is not in your basement. For more details please visit my website for an expanded statement on this rain event. On-street Parking Regulations This is an issue I get calls and emails several times a year. As per the City of Ottawa’s Parking Bylaw, (2003-530), all residential side streets whether signed or unsigned are subject to the 3 hour parking regulation between 7am and 7pm. The City does not post signs for the 3 hour on street parking bylaw, as all residential streets in most of Ontario have a 3 hour parking restriction, unless stated otherwise. This by-law has been in place since well before amalgamation. In all residential areas, outside of the downtown core, the on street parking bylaw is enforced on a complaint-basis only. The City of Ottawa offers special consideration parking passes for residents who are restricted from accessing parking on their property due to infrastructure work or work they are undertaking on their property. The same parking passes, which allow for parking on the street for longer than three hours, are also available to and usually obtained by contractors and workers who are conducting work on the property. You can apply for special consideration parking passes at a City of Ottawa Client Service Centre. To review more information on the On-Street-Parking-Regulations, please visit my website at www.councillorallanhubley.com, under the ‘Community Tab’ where the On Street Parking Regulations are listed in detail. Public Information Session There will be a public information session about Meadowbreeze Park and Crownridge Park held on Monday July 15th from 6-8pm. Weather permitting this meeting will be held in Meadowbreeze Park, 98 Meadowbreeze Drive. In the case of inclement weather this information session will be moved inside the Glenview Homes Sales OfďŹ ce also located on Meadowbreeze Drive. Design plans for both Meadowbreeze Park and Crownridge Park will be presented at this meeting.

Sports - The Rideau Canoe Club will host the 2015 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships at Mooney’s Bay. The Aug. 25 to 29 festival will lead into the Aug. 30 Canadian Master’s Championships, known as the CanMas. The Ottawa location was announced at the Rideau Canoe Club on June 23 by CanoeKayak Canada domestic development director John Edwards, with Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau Canoe Club coaches and paddlers by his side. The championships are expected to bring in 1,200 paddlers, with an additional 500 adults for the CanMas. Edwards said canoe and kayak are some of Canada’s top Olympic sports, and the Rideau Canoe Club has produced quite a few Olympians over the years.

cial.� Mortimer revisited some of the club’s history, from the first clubhouse at the current Canal Ritz site which literally fell into the canal, to the brand new clubhouse the club built at the current Hog’s Back site. Athletes will have a home water advantage, surrounded by their familiar training site and family and friends. Madeline Schmidt, a junior world medalist, said she won her first national medal in 2008 at home at the Rideau. “It was an unreal moment to be at home on the podium,� she said. “There’s nothing as cool as competing in front of a home crowd.� Ian’s brother Angus Mortimer, an Olympian, said paddling all over the world has taught him how lucky the Rideau Canoe paddlers are to have such an excellent site such as Mooney’s Bay as a home base. “It’s always a blast to compete at home and have a home water advantage,� he said. At last year’s nationals, Rideau finished second in the overall club title, known as the Burgee. The club, which fields a highly competitive team on the national scene every year, would usually send about 45 paddlers to nationals. With the home advantage, Ian expects about 60 paddlers to compete in the 2015 nationals at home.

News - Finding parking for your car during Ottawa RedBlacks home games is now as easy as heading to the RA Centre. The centre recently announced it has entered into a new partnership with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. It will serve as one of four official satellite parking lots for home games. In addition, through the new connection, members of the RA Centre and RedBlacks fans will have the chance to meet and greet players from the RedBlacks, Ottawa Fury FC and Ottawa 67’s at the centre, which is billed as the largest private not-for-profit recreation and leisure facility in Canada. There will also be upcoming ticket opportunities for Ottawa 67’s and Ottawa Fury FC games, in addition to other promotions available on and around game days. “Our members and staff are very enthusiastic about this new partnership. The ability for RA members to access special content from OSEG will create lots of excitement with fans of the three teams,” Gord Aitken, RA Centre general manager, said in a statement. “The OSEG group will energize the city with the opening of TD Place, and our members will be able to join in on the party.” Eateries at the RA Centre will also offer specials before and following home games for centre members and game patrons. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the RA Centre, which provides sports, recreation and fitness programs to people of all ages, can call 613-736-6224. For details, visit racentre.com. Upcoming RedBlacks home games are scheduled for July 18, August 2, 15 and 24.

Female owl unveiled as World Cup mascot brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - Dozens of girls soccer players shrieked with delight when they saw the official mascot for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015, which will be hosted in six cities in Canada, including Ottawa. The girls were introduced to Shuéme, a great white owl, at the Museum of Nature on June 17 by 11-year-old soccer player Sarah Stapley, Laureen Harper, and Canadian soccer player Kara Lang. The announcement was heavy on emphasizing females in sport, with the event’s CEO Peter Montopoli and Minister of State (Sport) Bal Gosal taking a back seat to the women after their speeches. Lang told the audience that the rotunda at the Museum of

Nature, used for the announcement, was the very spot that the House of Commons used while on a temporary leave from Parliament Hill. It was the spot they were in when they decided to officially give Canadian women the right to vote. “(It will be) the stage for the best players, showcasing the best of women’s sport, on and off the field,” Lang, the youngest Canadian women’s national team player ever, told the crowd. “It’s the ultimate experience for any player. To play on home soil is an amazing opportunity.” The girls in attendance were excited to hug and take pictures with the owl mascot, who stretched out her large wingspan to dance with the kids. Cumberland United soccer player Riley Lancia, 7, skipped

over the wings and feathers of the mascot, and said her favourite thing about Shuéme is that she is a female. Harper, the prime minister’s wife, said the World Cup is a chance to establish a global platform to “further establish a legacy for women.” Canada has a much more competitive women’s team than the men on the international stage, and brought home the bronze medal from the 2012 Olympics.

way, we have this cautionary boil-water advisory.’ You’d say, ‘Really? Where were you all day, buddy?’� The councillor submitted an inquiry to staff during the June 24 city council meeting to ask about the “gap in procedure� that led the water to be turned on before the boil-water advisory was issued. When there is an issue or pressure is lost in a communal well system, which can happen due to a pipe breaking, the city is obligated to test the water. The city’s policies should recognize that difference between communal wells and the city’s water system, he said.

after the water had been turned back on to order them to boil tap water before using it. The water main broke at around 10 a.m. on June 23. El-Chantiry said he received an email at 12:20 p.m. letting him know the pipe was fixed and water had been restored to the 180 homes who use the communal well. It wasn’t until 4:29 p.m. that Ottawa Public Health issues a precautionary boil-water advisory, which remained in effect until around 1:20 p.m. the next day. El-Chantiry said there is no harm in putting a precautionary boil-water advisory in place before turning the water back on. It’s much more problematic if it occurs the other way around, he said. “You live there. You’ve been there all day at home. You turn the water on at 10 a.m. and there is nothing ... Twenty after 12 the water comes back on – OK, everything is normal,� El-Chantiry said. “And then at five o’clock I knock on your door and say, ‘By the

Puffed wheat dishes, tableware were staples

M

y sister Audrey was being dispatched to Briscoe’s General store, and told to hurry up about it. Father’s sister, Aunt Freda (not Aunt Lizzie who regularly sent the hand-me-down boxes from Regina) was coming for a short visit from Chicago. I had never laid eyes on Aunt Freda, nor had Mother. Our contact was through the odd letter, and a gift of a radio which was of no use whatsoever, since we had no electricity. She would be arriving at the C.P.R. station in Renfrew late in the day, would be there for one day and one night only, and then heading to Arnprior to visit Aunt Nellie and Uncle Henry Wagenblass. Well, did that set our house in a frenzy. What to

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories have for supper? Change the bed upstairs, clean from top to bottom, get out the only white tablecloth we owned and which Mother had brought from New York, and try to find dishes that matched. And do all of this before Father headed into Renfrew to bring Aunt Freda out to Northcote. The dishes were the problem. We had a hodgepodge of mismatched dishes, some with a gold maple leaf in the centre of each plate that had been in our old log house for generations, some with a navy-blue rim around them,

and then there were the ones that came in the puffedwheat bag. Without a doubt, they were best of the lot, but we were far from having enough to set a complete table. In fact, there weren’t enough of the puffed wheat dishes to even make one complete setting. I thought everyone in Northcote got their dishes from the puffed-wheat bag. Unfortunately, the company that put one piece in each bag, gave an overabundance of saucers, and rarely bothered with cups. And so we had an about 12 saucers, no

cups, a couple dinner plates, and a small plate Mother called a bread-and-butter plate, which according to Father wasn’t worth taking out of the cupboard. And so Audrey, with me in tow, was heading for Briscoe’s General Store to buy yet another bag of puffed wheat, and hopefully come home with at least one tea

cup. To prepare for this errand, Audrey had gone to the sewing basket and taken out a long knitting needle, and I knew exactly why. She also had a short list of things Mother had to have on hand just because Aunt Freda was coming. A bar of Ivory soap, (heaven forbid Aunt Freda would have to use homemade soap reeking

of Gillett’s Lye) because regardless how hard Mother tried, she was never able to completely dissolve all the little pieces of lye. When we got to the store, Audrey headed right for the bags of puffed wheat. Although as light as a feather, the bags were big. See STORIES, page 37

and retrieve a cup. Now, Aunt Freda would have a cup and saucer that matched, and a dinner and bread and butter plate, all thanks to a bag of puffed wheat. None of us much liked puffed wheat. And there was always two or three bags tucked away in the cupboard out in the summer kitchen, bought simply for the dish inside. There was no doubt Mr. Briscoe knew exactly what my sister Audrey was up to when she came into the store with the long knitting needle.

He paid no attention to her at all. And when I asked Audrey if what she was doing was considered dishonest, she said, “Certainly not. We bought a bag of puffed wheat, didn’t we?” And when I visited school friends in Northcote, and stayed for a meal, their tables too were set with an assortment of mismatched dishes. And always there would be

a plate, or a saucer, with the fluted edge, circled in a gold rim, and with small red and pink flowers, right out of a bag of puffed wheat. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The bags had a strip of paper down the front with very small holes in it, so that the customer could see what a wonderful cereal this was. The bags were piled up against the wall, and Audrey, making no attempt to hide what she was up to, got down on her hands and knees and ever so carefully, worked the knitting needle into one bag at a time. She poked away until she hit a piece of china, which the company made awfully

sure was right in the middle of the bag. It was my job to see that she didn’t attack the same bag twice. She had worked her way through about 10 bags, when finally she came up for air, and looking like she had just discovered America, took the bag over to the counter, gathered up the other things on Mother’s list, said “please put this on Mother’s bill,” and we headed for the buggy outside. It didn’t take Mother long to rip into the bag, pour out a good portion into a big bowl,

46 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, July 3, 2014

News – There is a power struggle over the heart and soul of the Progressive Conservative party and its first manifestation was apparent in the race for interim leader. Following four straight losses to the Liberals, the now diminished PC caucus was set to pick a temporary leader this week, after Tim Hudak’s resignation takes effect July 1. Among those vying for the job are two MPPs from the Eastern Ontario: Renfrew-NipissingPembroke’s John Yakabuski and Lanark-Lennox and Addington’s Randy Hillier. While both conservatives, Hillier is considered further to the right on many issues. He emerged from a rural landowner activism background to cause friction with party stalwarts from southern and urban ridings. Yakabuski, also proud of his rural roots, is seen as more of a moderate and less confrontational. An example of their different visions for the party became apparent last week when Hillier said more decisions should be made by caucus, not the leader. The caucus should elect the party whip rather than have the leader appoint them, for instance, and it should control party spending. He believes the leadership should ask more frequently for individual party member’s input, too. As well, he has suggested that the leadership vote be conducted with each party member having

a vote instead of leaving it up to delegates chosen from each riding. Jack MacLaren followed Hillier as president of the Ontario Landowners Association before winning his own seat in Carleton-Mississippi Mills. He stands behind Hillier and his ideas for a more “people-oriented” movement. “We run in a democracy and believe in democracy; maybe we as a party should be more democratic, too,” MacLaren said. “We need to be communicating better with our grassroots members. They should feel free to contact any MPP at any time with ideas.” Talk of a grassroots movement by rural-activist politicians leads some observers warn against a Tea Party North mentality taking over the Tory party. Pundits say the party has already double- and triple-downed on that approach – a disdain for government intervention and lauding of individualism - with Hudak and, before him, John Tory. Yakabuski flatly rejects Hillier and MacLaren’s ideas on removing powers from the leader. He said the interim leader’s responsibility is to bolster morale and unity among caucus and create enthusiasm among the 40,000-strong membership. “You are to hand the party over to the leader when the time comes in good shape,” Yakabuski said of the need for strong leadership. “(Their position) is not the tradition and would not serve the party well,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the right way. It’d be chaos.”

He goes so far as to say no member of caucus would accept the role of party whip if elected; only if appointed by the leader. Yakabuski isn’t considering a run as the party’s full-time leader, saying he doesn’t want to “give up that much time to Toronto.” ELLIOTT IN THE RACE

The soul-searching and turmoil in the party is evident in the early announcement by current deputy leader Christine Elliot that she is running for party leadership. If she wins, Elliott will be considered by many to be the closest thing to a centrist leader the party has had in many decades. And that seems just fine with MacLaren. While committed to fiscal conservatism, MacLaren said he sat on a committee with her dedicated to finding ways government can help families with children who live with autism and other mental disabilities. “That is a role of government, helping those who can’t help themselves,” MacLaren said. “I have high regard for Christine Elliot.” Elliot, the widow of former federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, is the first candidate to declare her intention of running for the party leadership. She has the support of seven of the party’s 27 MPPs. The interim leader was to be selected Wednesday, after the newspaper’s deadline. The PCs aren’t expected to elect a new permanent leader until next year.

Dropping more than money Fundraisers rappel down 14 storeys for Make-A-Wish foundation Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Ottawa Redblacks cheerleader Brittany Leigh takes a moment before dropping 14 storeys down the side of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel on June 28.

The Kanata Kourier-Standard published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

News - Why walk or run when you can rappel off a 14storey building to help raise money for charity? That is the question that the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario asked itself when it was trying to come up with a new fundraising initiative. “Everyone is doing runs and walks for charity,” said director Mike Wlotzki. Having rappelled off a building in Toronto for charity, Wlotzki figured why not try it in Ottawa. And so the first Rope for Hope arrived in Ottawa and asked people to rappel off the 14-storey Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Overbrook on June 28. In total, the foundation had 50 eager participants who had

to raise at least $1,500 to drop off the side of the building, and although many of these participants began to feel less eager as their turn came closer, they overcame their fears to help out a worthy cause. St. Pius X High School raised $1,650 to have one of their teachers take up the challenge. Although she’s afraid of heights, teacher Michelle Gauthier said she was braving it for the greater good. “It’s important,” Gauthier said. “We had a student whose brother was sick and who had a wish come true through Make-A-Wish. That made the school realize how special the foundation is. So you can’t say no.” Down on the ground, Dave Newby of Promomedia was happy to have two feet planted firmly on the ground again following his descent. “Oh my gosh, it was exhilarating, frightening and terrifying -- but satisfying at the end,” Newby said. Tanya Desjardins, chief operating officer of the foundation, said this event is something the organization is looking at expanding and making

it an annual event, with the exception of possibly changing the weekend it takes place, as the weekend before Canada Day had some participants opt out because they were going away, but if it’s OK with the hotel, the foundation would love to keep the location. “It’s perfect, there is a lot of room and the hotel has been great,” Desjardins said. Wlotzki agreed, saying that when he approached the hotel, it didn’t take much convincing for the company to say yes. “It’s for a good cause,” assistant general manager Gilles Lebrun said. Although the hotel has never had people rappelling off the side of their building before, Lebrun added it was cool to see the participants brave the height. As part of the proof that Newby and others made it from top to bottom, each participant had their photo taken with a sign reading “I did it.” And for those who were feeling less brave, but proud supporters of friends and family, there was plenty to do including a rock climbing wall, food, music and a bouncy castle.

Venta students travel to Normandy for D-Day ceremonies Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - They stood at the graves of the fallen, many with silent tears on their cheeks. Some kneeled at the headstones, head bowed and eyes closed as the skies rained upon them. The ages of many of those killed were no older than the students visiting. “I remember just going in there (to the cemetery) and seeing all these graves and we just started crying,” said Christina Stellmacher, a 16year-old, Grade 10 student. “When you think about it, these boys were no older than us. They were all men but they were still boys.” Eleven students from Ven-

ta Preparatory School in Carp travelled to Normandy for the 70th anniversary of D-Day – when Allied forces stormed an 80-kilometre stretch of coast heavily guarded by the Germans, often called the “beginning of the end” of the Second World War, on June 6, 1944. They visited the Canadian National Vimy Memorial – dedicated to those killed or presumed dead in the First World War – and the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery where many Canadian soldiers killed during the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War were laid to rest. Each student was given the name of a Canadian soldier buried in the French cemetery. Before travelling overseas, they put together a scrapbook, containing photographs of the deceased, their war record and family history. They left the albums behind on the graves. “There’s this 18-yearold boy on this tombstone. Anyone else who comes to

this tombstone can now see a picture of that boy and his life,” said art teacher Gillian Mattock. “It really brings it home.” Alex Bracanovich, in Grade 10, met the grandson and a cousin of the soldier he researched. They talked about the man buried far from home. “We didn’t think people would actually go look at our scrapbooks or the pictures that we brought. Every time I walked by my person’s grave, someone was there looking at what I made for him,” said Nitara Duthie, a Grade 10 student. “I learned not to take things for granted.” NEVER FORGET

The 10-day tour was emotional, educational, and something not soon forgotten. The students met a number of veterans who also travelled to France for the D-Day ceremony, as well as locals – thankful still 70 years later. “One thousand Canadian students marched along the

member. Because the next time they probably won’t be around to tell the story,” said Christina. “You have to realize that these aren’t just old people talking to you and telling you old stories of back in their day; this is history. This is what happened. And you can’t forget that. “If you look at kids today, in November they’ll wear the poppy, they’ll stand for the moment of silence, they’ll watch the ceremonies on TV,

but they won’t really understand what it means. I think that’s what really bothers me is that there’s so many kids that don’t know – and they should.” The experience is something the students said they will use to help impart how important it is that Canadians never forget the sacrifice of those who fight for their country. “We’ll talk about it,” said Nitara. “That’s what’s important – to spread the word.”

shoreline towards Juno Beach and all the local people were saying to us ‘Salut, Bonjour, Merci,’” said Mattock. “They were shaking our hands, saying ‘Thanks Canada,’” Christina added. Taking the students to Normandy was an invaluable experience, said history teacher Stephen Dame. “There is incredible, incredible merit meeting the men who stormed these beaches,” he said. “The trip takes them (the students) from being sympathetic to being empathetic.” Dame added that the government said this was the last time it would pay for veterans to travel overseas for D-Day, as many are approaching their 90s, and thus the last time students would have the opportunity to experience the ceremonies in the presence of those who fought against the German occupation. “There was a moment where these school children got to escort these men to the beach for the last time,” Dame said. “They called it ‘The Last Trip’.” “You need to realize that everything they say to you, you have to listen and re-

Huntley students raise funds for smoke alarm campaign Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - A working smoke detector saved the lives of two Carp teens last March after a fire began in the garage of their family home. The Frossts lost all their worldly possessions in the blaze that destroyed the home at 109 Topol Lane, but Benjamin Frosst, his older brother Matthew, and the family dog – the only ones home at the time of the fire – escaped alive. Benjamin heard the fire detector go off in his home around quarter after five in the evening last March. He ran to find the fire, grabbing a fire extinguisher, and opening the door to the garage. He tried to extinguish the flames but it became apparent it was a losing battle. He and Matthew grabbed their dog and fled the house. The Grade 8 student was taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. “I didn’t have time to get

shoes and it was the middle of March,” said Benjamin. “My house burned down and we lost everything.” Huntley Centennial Public School’s principal Colleen Irvin contacted the family to see how the school could help. She said she expected the Frossts to ask for food or clothing for the children. Instead, they asked the school to raise money for a fire prevention initiative. As Benjamin, along with students Seanna Oliver, Sarah Gaudet, Olivia Facchin and Chelsea Wilkin, all in Grade 8, and Grade 7 student Anna Bramble rallied the school to raise funds for the fire department’s Wake Up! Get a working smoke alarm campaign, another fire rocked the school community. The father of a student was found dead outside the family home at 170 Grey Fox Dr. in the early morning hours of June 8. A fire was discovered in the basement and soon brought under control by firefighters.

“It’s become a common dilemma in our school,” said Olivia. “It’s a lot more common than you think,” added Benjamin. The students enlisted the help of Grade 8 teacher Ahmad Berjawi, who agreed to shave his beard if the school could raise $1,000, and teacher Stacey Wallace. “The goal was, let’s do something,” said Berjawi. “(The students) all come together … it was quite amazing.” The Wake up! program aims to increase awareness about the importance of having working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and will test, install and replace old or non-functioning alarms for those who can’t afford it themselves. “A reason why we did this fundraiser is because not a lot of people know about Wake up,” said Seanna. “We wanted to raise awareness for the students,” Olivia added.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Students at Huntley Centennial Public School raised $1,450 for the fire department’s Wake Up! Get a working smoke alarm campaign after two fires in the school community. The program was spearheaded by (in no special order) Benjamin Frosst, Seanna Oliver, Sarah Gaudet, Olivia Facchin and Chelsea Wilkin, all in Grade 8; Grade 7 student Anna Bramble; and teachers Ahmad Berjawi and Stacey Wallace. “So bad things don’t happen; so people are more aware,” said Chelsea. The students raised just over $1,450 and on June 26, Berjawi lost the beard he had been growing since January. “All the funds raised will stay in our community,” said

Wallace. According to the Wake up! campaign, 90 per cent of residential fires are preventable. Almost half of preventable fatal fires in Ontario between 1995 and 2004 had no smoke alarm warning. Out of those:

News - A Nepean student is angling to be named the country’s most beautiful teen. Karina Wang, who attends Asbury College, was named Miss Teenage Ottawa in January. Since being crowned in the capital, Karina, 14, has appeared at the Tulip Festival and Epilepsy Day. She also competed in the provincial competition – earning the third spot and making her eligible to compete in the Miss Teenage Canada competition to be held July 13 to 19 in Toronto. Wang previously competed in pageants in the U.S. because her family has a home in Florida, but said she wanted to participate north of the border because that’s where her home is. “It really helps build your confidence,� Karina said of competitions. “It’s really a lot more than just looking pretty.� In addition to essay questions, Miss Teenage Canada hopefuls have to maintain social media platforms and raise money for the charity Free the Children. The participant that raises the most money would fast track to the contest’s top 20 spots and has a chance to go on a Free the Children mission trip.

Telus looking at other tower sites in Manotick City council votes to oppose Dozois Road location near two schools Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Telus says it’s working with the city and community members to look for a new location for

a proposed cell tower in Manotick’s South Pointe area. After a push from Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, on June 25 city council voted to refuse to agree to “That was way to easy!”

the tower’s proposed location. Telus has asked Industry Canada for permission to build an antenna at 1071 Dozois Rd. in South Pointe Manotick. But the site is off of Mitch Owens Road and adjacent to St. Mark High School and the Manotick Montessori School. Approval would come

from the federal industry ministry, but the views of the municipal government are taken into consideration. Residents have expressed concern about the safety of a communications tower being placed close to the schools, but Emma Miller, a spokesperson for Telus, said the signals emitted from the proposed tower would match the type of signal from an

FM radio tower. “The power levels are low,” Miller said, adding the levels are below the safety code standards set out by the federal health and industry ministries. Miller said the tower is needed in order to meet demand for wireless service in the area. It must be located in a one- to two-kilometre dis-

tance from the residents and businesses it is intended to serve. “We are open to other sites that meet our criteria and objectives,” she said. Miller said the company was taking suggestions on alternate locations until June 13, but received none. Telus doesn’t own the land at 1071 Dozois Rd. and plans to lease the chosen site.

Tasty fruit roll-ups make great snack or dessert Food - This simple roll-up incorporates the goodness of the garden. Only you will know how easy it is to make. The dough thaws in fridge overnight. It’s a great snack, lunch box treat or birthday party staple. Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but don’t defrost them. Squeeze any extra liquid from shredded apples to prevent the roll-up from becoming soggy. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Baking time: 25 minutes. Serves 12. INGREDIENTS

• 125 g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened • 15 ml (1 tbsp) each cinnamon and

honey • 5 ml (1 tsp) grated lemon rind • 500 g (1 lb) frozen whole wheat pizza dough, thawed • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded apples, squeezed dry • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded zucchini, squeezed dry • 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries Topping • 50 ml (1/4 cup) honey PREPARATION

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cinnamon, honey and lemon rind until smooth and then set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a five-millimetre (1/4-inch) thick rectangle measuring

about 35 by 30 centimetres (14 by 12 inches). Spread the cream cheese mixture on the dough. Top evenly with the apples, zucchini and blueberries. Starting at a long side, roll up the dough, pressing firmly so it is snug around the filling and gently smoothing it to an even thickness. Cut the roll into 12 pieces. Place the pieces, cut side down, in a buttered 3.5 litre (13 by 9-inch) baking pan. Bake in a 230 C (450 F) oven for 25 minutes or until the pieces are golden brown. Topping: Drizzle with honey while hot and serve immediately.

The duration of the closure and how long it will take to re-

pair the road is unknown, said El-Chantiry, adding it will at least take a couple of weeks. Environment Canada reported 55.6 millimetres of rain on June 24.The storm caused flooding and a number of road closures throughout the city. Thomas A Dolan was also closed between Dunrobin and Woodkilton roads as heavy rains flooded that stretch of street. Although the rain had dried up by June 26, road clo-

sure signs were still in place. “With the heavy rain, the water was all over the road,” El-Chantiry said. “I have asked (staff) to revisit the road and see if we have to build it higher in that section.” The road may need to be raised because when it rains, “the water has no place to go there,” he said. “The more we use it, the more the road will sink down.”

BERRY TIPS It is recommended that the berries are placed in the coolest spot in your car for your journey home. It is actually best for the berries to go straight home and be placed in a fridge or very cool spot. If you are making jam or freezing the berries - the sooner the better. Pick you berry farms use lots of clean straw between rows of plants to keep berries and pickers clean and dry. Bring along a camera to capture special moments. Most farms have picnic tables, so a snack or lunch is a great way to celebrate a "job" well done.

Most Important Tip: Fresh air, lovely red strawberries, beautiful country setting, and happy pickers... it all adds up to a very pleasant summer outing.

News - A section of Ridgetop Road in West Carleton was washed away during last Tuesday’s heavy rainfall. The roadway, which had just been repaved, was closed between Thomas A Dolan Parkway and Dunhaven Drive. “This road just got resurfaced. Unfortunately the

heavy rain washed out the culvert completely,” said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry. “Now, obviously we’re replacing the culvert and we have to rebuild the road.” City staff are investigating whether the culvert was washed out by the amount of rain or if a beaver dam broke, causing the flooding, El-Chantiry said. “If there’s a beaver dam

Pathway could be built this year or next; cyclists can use sidewalk in the interim Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city will look to build a multi-use path for cyclists and pedestrians on the north side of St. Patrick Street, but it might not happen this year. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said city staff agreed to design the pathway to run from Cobourg Street west to just before King Edward Avenue. Now, they need to find around $150,000 to $200,000 to build the pathway. Cycling advocates, including Sarah Partridge of Velo Vanier and the Vanier Community Association, have been asking for the project to be completed this summer because St. Patrick is being repaved. At the next transportation committee meeting on July 2, Fleury said he’ll ask city staff to look for any leftover money to complete the pathway, but it might have to wait until budget discussions next year. That section of St. Patrick is important because it connects Vanier to Lowertown and parts of the city west of the Rideau River. The city is already spending money to seg-

regate cyclists from vehicle traffic over the St. Patrick Bridge as part of the east-west bikeway, which heads south at Cobourg, so leveraging that cycling route and making it safer for cyclists who choose to continue west on St. Patirck into the ByWard Market would make sense, Fleury said. In the meantime, Fleury wants the city to allow cyclists to legally use the sidewalks on that section of St. Patrick Street. Similar to what’s allowed on a portion of Hog’s Back Road, the city would install signs instructing pedestrians and cyclists to share the space. “We can do this in the interim,” Fleury said. Sharrow markings will also be painted on the road to instruct cyclists and motorists to share the outside lanes of St. Patrick. The markings will be “super sharrows” – large green boxes with bicycle markings, similar to what’s painted on Cummings Bridge. In the long-term, the city still plans to spend $1 million to add cycling tracks – cycling lanes raised to the level of the sidewalk – to St. Patrick when the entire road is eventually rebuilt, according to a letter from Mayor Jim Watson that was sent to Citizens for Safe Cycling. The mayor’s letter said 2015 will also see cycling improvements to St. Patrick and Murray streets between King Edward Avenue and Sussex Drive in the ByWard Market. The total cost of the St. Patrick resurfacing, which will apply a new coat of asphalt but not change the makeup of the street, will cost $2.3 million, Fleury said.

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse The definition of child abuse encompasses far more than physical violence. Sexual and emotional abuse, along with neglect, abandonment and the incapacity of parents to provide basic care (sometimes as a result of poverty or addiction) are other common forms of child abuse. It is not always easy to identify victims as they do not all exhibit the classic warning signs. Research shows that abuse and neglect can lead to serious emotional harm. Fortunately, it is possible for you to make a difference in a child’s life by learning the subtle signs of abuse. The earlier we can provide relief to these families, the greater the chance that the children can overcome these hardships.

City to set development density quota Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa could be the first municipality in Ontario to set a minimum density for developments. The quota would apply to certain areas currently being rezoned as part of a project to ensure land-use rules match the goals set out in the city’s new Official Plan. Right now, the city often looks at maximum densities for new developments in most areas. The new policy would change that for certain target areas throughout the city. The new calculations will give the city a basis to examine whether development proposals can deliver the density builders claim, and more importantly, that the densities can be achieved without a need for a rezoning. “We’re trying to level the playing field,” said Beth Desmarias, the city planner in charge of the density calculations. The minimums are aimed at promoting high-density development in certain target areas, including: * Central area, including the

business district * Arterial main streets, including Richmond Road north of Carling Avenue, St. Laurent Boulevard, Bank Street (south), Merivale Road, Montreal Road (east), Ogilvia Road, Walkley Road, Innes Road * Town centres in Orleans, Kanata and Barrhaven and Riverside South * Mixed-use centres, including Lees, Tunney’s Pasture, Bayview-Preston, Blair, Hurdman, Confederation Heights, Billings Bridge, Tremblay, St. Laurent and Cyrville A map with the specific locations it will apply to will be posted in the public consultation section of ottawa.ca under “zoning review.” The data is based on employment and retail studies the city completes every other year. Any developers who don’t agree with the density calculations could challenge it with their own research and if the planning committee agrees with a developer’s study, it would amend the entire density calculation table that would apply to all new developments in the priority areas. The Building Owners and

Managers Association of Ottawa has appealed the Official Plan to the Ontario Municipal Board and the minimum densities is one of the issues the group is concerned with, said the group’s executive director, Dean Karakasis. “Overall we believe that this, like other sections of the Official Plan, are too prescriptive and the city will find that it limits the ability for developers to put together good design, good developments and overall good ideas for different parts of town,” Karakasis wrote in an email. ZONING REVIEW

The minimum density calculations are just one part of a much larger “zoning review” for which the city is currently seeking feedback. All the projects – from density studies to additional infill rules to zoning for certain main streets throughout the city – are the final step in implementing the growth goals set out in the city’s new Official Plan. But very few people came out to view the plans at a June 17 open house at city hall. “This is pretty dry stuff,”

said Chris Bradshaw, a Sandy Hill resident who visited the open house. The review now will ensure that zoning – the details on what kinds of residential, commercial or industrial use can occupy a property and how big the building can be – match what the city has called for in the blueprint of how Ottawa will grow, its Official Plan. That’s a big deal for planning committee chairman Peter Hume, who has been promising land-use certainty to communities and developers for the last two years. The goal is to reduce the number of much-maligned “spot rezonings” the city approves at the behest of developers. “It’s what they said they were going to do,” said Linda Hoad from the Hintonburg Community Association’s planning committee. But she said the zoning review won’t completely do away with spot rezonings. “But they aren’t doing a comprehensive zoning bylaw review for the whole city,” Hoad said. “We’ll still get (developers) saying the zoning is out of date.”

One of the biggest fears about reporting abuse or neglect is that we will inadvertently break up a family. As a child welfare organization, our priority is the child’s safety. Nevertheless, current data shows that 90% of children remain in their parents’ care; removal is a last-resort decision, and only occurs in cases where the child is in immediate danger. Secondly, some worry about their identity being revealed to the family. Reports can be made anonymously. When reporting a suspicion, provide as much information as possible to assist in the assessment. Even though it may feel like your report will not make a difference, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Every individual’s contribution can have an impact. While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse or neglect turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Vanier resident Mireille Desmarais speaks to city planner Alain Miguelez, the city’s program manager of zoning and intensification, during a June 17 open house held for the city’s zoning review.

If you have any suspicions that a child is being abused or neglected, get help. Even though the idea of making a report with the Children’s Aid Society can seem very “official” - and therefore intimidating - it is important to demystify these beliefs in order to provide help in a time-efficient manner. People often feel reluctant to get involved in other families’ personal lives, but it is imperative that we understand our duty to ensure each person’s safety in our community.

St. Thomas Fire won’t affect sale to Maple Leaf: councillor Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A three-alarm fire won’t affect the sale of an abandoned school in Crystal Beach said Coun. Mark Taylor. Ottawa Fire services received reports of black smoke coming from St. Thomas at 9 Leeming Drive on June 22. The fire was initially labelled

a three alarm because of the smoke and heat conditions, but was later downgraded. The fire department said paramedics, police and Salvation Army were dispatched to the site. Taylor said police are still investigating the cause of the blaze. The former school is already slotted for demolition. “All we know is that the fire originated in the gym,� Taylor

said. St. Thomas was sold to the city for $2 million in 2010 after being declared surplus by the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Taylor worked with the Crystal Beach-Lakeview Community Association and area residents on a plan for the property since his election. Residents wanted to see the

land retained for use by the community, but keeping the property and renovating the school would have cost the city $4.3 million and would have resulted in a levy to local residents of more than $300 per home added to their property taxes. The deal the city and residents eventually settled on was to sell off most of the property,

except for a 1,200 square-metre chunk of land adjacent to Maki Park. The land could potentially provide space for a future community building. In March, the city’s planning committee approved the sale of the land to Maple Leaf Custom Homes, which plans to demolish the old school and develop 29 townhomes on the site. “It’s going to be a mix of

multiple attached and semi-detached townhomes to be billed as an adult lifestyle community,� Taylor said. Taylor said the deal is set to be complete next month. In the meantime, he has directed city staff to take another walk through the abandoned school to make sure entrances are secure and remove any potentially flammable items.

Perley and Rideau seniors’ apartment named after $1M donor Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Doreen Morgan, left, celebrates the June 17 unveiling of the newly named Commissionaires Ottawa Place, which is her home at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, along with Grete Hale, an honourary co-chair of the Perley’s Building Choices, Enriching Lives capital campaign, and Paul Guindon, a retired navy captain and chief executive officer of Commissionaires Ottawa. community.” He said it was only natural for Commissionaires Ottawa to support the creation of independent and assisted-living apartment units for seniors, including war veterans. “Commissionaires Ottawa is a private, not-for-profit, self-funded company and our social mandate includes a primary focus on hiring veterans and caring for them,” he said, adding that the organization first began at the national level in 1925, and it is celebrating its 75th anniversary in Ottawa this year. In addition to pro-

viding security services, threat-risk assessments, mobile-alarm response and criminal background checks, “we also ... give back to veterans and military families. That’s who we are.” The organization is expanding, which means good news for veterans, he said. “When we grow, we can create more jobs for our veterans and can afford to give back to community causes like the Perley and Rideau seniors village,” Guindon said. The announcement was also celebrated by long-time community volunteer and highly regarded philanthropist Grete Hall, who is an honourary co-

chair of the capital campaign. “It’s a historic day. I like history and historic occasions,” said Hale, 85, who noted that June is Seniors’ Month. One of the principle reasons Hale agreed to co-chair the campaign is the Perley and Rideau’s long history of serving veterans and seniors, including her late husband, she said before 300 residents of the new buildings and donors who contributed to the campaign. The unveiling event coincided with the launch of the public phase of the fundraising initiative, as well and the success of the Perley and Rideau

Veterans’ Health Centre Foundation’s work in generating half of the campaign’s goal. That money will help offset the $3.8-million cost of the seniors village, which includes an in-house pharmacy, hairstylist, dental hygienist clinic, physiotherapy and a hearing clinic, in addition to the apartment units. Of that total cost, $38 million in loans must be repaid. Construction on the two buildings began in 2011, and Building B was completed in March 2013, while work on Building A wrapped up in Septemb e r 2013.

BY THE NUMBERS:

$43.8 million: construction cost of two apartment buildings Funding provided by: • $32.3-million mortgage secured from Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation • $5.4 million through a non-refundable grant from all three government levels • $5 million through ongoing capital campaign • $1.1 million from Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre

News - When maintaining the house in Elmvale Acres they had lived in for years became too much, Doreen Morgan and her husband moved into a newly constructed apartment at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre. It was Sept. 25, 2013, an important milestone in their lives. “That was the first day we could move in,” Morgan said, referencing last year’s opening of two new 139-unit apartment complexes for seniors, including veterans, at the centre, located at 1750 Russell Rd. “We were anxious to get in.” But, just one month later, her husband, 92, was admitted to hospital with serious heart problems. All he wanted to do was return to the Perley and Rideau, which he considered to be his home. When he was finally allowed to leave the hospital, he found solace. “He was happy he was home,” said Morgan. 84. That night, in the early morning hours, he passed away. Despite her very tragic loss, Morgan said she finds comfort living at the Perley and Rideau which she considers to be her home, where other residents rallied around her and where she can keep busy doing the many activities offered at the seniors village. As of June 17, her home now has a new name. Building A, as it has been called since construction began on the apartment complexes in 2011, is now known as Commissionaires Ottawa Place. It’s named in honour of Commissionaires Ottawa, which donated $1 million to the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Foundation’s $5-million Building Choices, Enriching Lives capital campaign, which will help pay for the complex. “I am humbled,” said Paul Guindon, a retired navy captain who joined Commissionaires Ottawa as its chief executive officer 10 years ago. “As a Canadian Armed Forces veteran, like many of you, I join you in supporting the Perley and Rideau as a very important anchor in our

About 90 per cent of the units are already full. There is a critical need for long-term housing for seniors, Hale said, adding that “If the statisticians are correct, there will soon be a lot more of us.” More than 90,000 seniors live in the National Capital Region, and that number is expected to triple within the next 20 years, according to statistics provided by the Perley and Rideau foundation. “Clearly there’s a tremendous need for seniors to have access to a secure, supportive environment where they can be useful, active and respected,” Hale said. Building B at the seniors village will be named once a donor comes forward.

Gun violence sparks renewed calls for return of police centre erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A day-time gun fight between two men during which nine bullets were fired in broad daylight in Herongate last week has prompted residents to renew calls for the reopening of a community police centre in the neighbourhood just months after it was closed. Police tape was being strung up in the 2800-block of Cedarwood Drive as Perry Marleau was returning home from work on Tuesday, June 17. He soon learned that two men had opened fire on each other at around 5:20 p.m. near rental homes where many families live. One of the men suffered a gun-shot wound to the forehead, but the other fled and has not yet been identified. Police are working to determine if the shooting was gang-related. The experience, Marleau said, is sadly nothing new for tenants who have become all too familiar with the distinctive “pop” of gun shots. For that reason he is calling on city officials to immediately reopen the community police centre, as well as boost resources for the Ottawa police guns-and-gangs unit. “It’s definitely getting worse since they closed the community policing centre,” said Marleau, who lives across the street from where the gun battle played out. “Ever since it’s been open season (for criminal activity),” said Marleau, who has lived in Herongate for more than 20 years. “We are actually in an area where we’re dodging bullets.” “A child’s going to get hit one day

in the crossfire.” Marleau, who ran twice for a city council seat, said he is now trying to bring together residents, police and city officials at the Heron Road Community Centre within the next few weeks to discuss safety concerns, and revisit the issue of the community police centre. “I just want the city to realize that ... the essential services they’re cutting at the police forces really affect the community directly,” said Marleau. The police centre in a Cedarwood Drive apartment complex had temporarily been closed for several months due to health and safety issues in the building, before signage at the centre was removed earlier this year. The office was slated for permanent closure in March, but community police officer Const. Rebecca Vanderwater was expected to continue working in the community, Ottawa police Supt. Ty Cameron said in April. The issue led police officials to consider whether the 15 community police centres, which cost about $180,000 a year to operate, should undergo a review. That process, which will include community input, is expected to continue into next year. Coun. Diane Deans, whose Gloucester-Southgate ward is served by the Herongate community police officer, said at the time she is working with police to move the centre into her ward’s Heatherington neighbourhood. But Alta Vista ward Coun. Peter Hume said the money absorbed by a Herongate community police centre would be better spent on other investments. He pointed to the refurbishment of nearby basketball courts last

year as an example. “I think it’s more boots, more frequent patrols, and more constables in the neighbourhood than sort of bricksand-mortar facilities … as opposed to the sort of a plaque on a door that really always isn’t even open and there’s not even a permanent officer there,” said Hume, whose ward includes Herongate. If the Herongate community police centre continued to operate, it would not have discouraged last week’s shooting “because it’s not a police station,” he said. “I really don’t think it’s a visible enough deterrent to warrant the investment that you’d have to make in it.” When asked if a collaborative effort among police, city officials, tenants and property owners could help improve neighbourhood safety Hume said, “To do what?

Perry Marleau is among several residents who say the return of a Herongate community police centre would help deter what they believe is escalating violence.

people from having an argument?” This violent act, while “a significant concern,” is not unique to Herongate, and was not a random occurrence, said Hume. “You don’t have to worry about being on a street corner and having some car drive by and shoot at you,” he said. But several residents disagree, saying the closure of the community police centre is counterproductive. “Taking that out of there – I can’t imagine that was anything but a good thing for the gangsters, because people are scared,” said one man, who declined to provide his name for safety reasons. He and his wife decided last year to move away from the community, even before Herongate was rocked by two drive-by shootings just two weeks apart in March. Then, on Thursday, June 19, two days after the recent gun fight, they were shaken up when Charles H. Hulse Public School, where their sixyear-old daughter attends school, was locked down along with three more schools, after a male was seen walking by with a gun. Police searched the area, but a gunman was never found. “Moving is our answer,” said the concerned mother, who also did not want to give her name. “I don’t want (my youngest daughter) growing up in this. “We don’t go out at night, or even to the Dairy Queen (on Heron Road),” she said. “Everyone’s got the same fear: there’s no one to protect us,” her husband added. “This is how gangs work. They get their power by keeping people scared.” David Purcell and his wife were also still reeling from the recent gun violence as they waited at the same school to reunite with their two young sons. Resurgence in crime in Herongate within the past two years has prompt-

ed them to consider moving. “I don’t think the police have really implemented their model of community based policing appropriately, obviously, because they’re not seeing much results,” he said. “When the violence escalates, it becomes an issue for everybody,” he said. When asked if the company that owns the rental properties where the centre was housed would welcome its return, the company’s director of operations said, “We’d love to continue the working relationship with the Ottawa police.” Blair Spencer, director of operations for Timbercreek Communities in Ottawa, said tenant safety remains a top concern for the property owner, which purchased the rental units from Transglobe Property Management within the last two years. Security cameras operate 24 hours a day, electronic key readers have been installed in all buildings and contracted security personnel from Intelligarde patrol the premises seven days a week, said Spencer. The company also regularly meets with tenants and bylaw officers and works with police to identify and prevent crime in the area, he said. “That’s one of our biggest focuses for the community here,” he said. John Redins, who has lived on Cedarwood Drive for the past nine years, agrees the community has improved since Timbercreek took up ownership. But while tenants regularly meet with the property owner, he said, more needs to be done within the greater Herongate community to improve safety. A recent increase in the number of police patrols following the recent shooting is not enough to benefit the long-term quality of life for residents, he added. “Once an incident happens the police seem to come back, but it’s not stable enough because everything quiets down and things pick up again and (then) they show up (again),” he said. “They don’t have consistency.” He agrees with Marleau that the answer lies in more collaboration among community stakeholders. “It’s got to be a partnership between public (and) private and making the youth aware that there is a future,” Redins said. The bottom line is that Herongate is a community in need, said Marleau, adding that while positive changes have been made in recent years, they aren’t happening fast enough. “We’re nothing. It’s like climbing a huge mountain,” he said. “We are the forgotten community.” With files from Laura Mueller and Michelle Nash
