The full build-out of the complex called for 540 units that could accommodate between 1,200 and 1,500 student tenants.

Two boys, aged 15 and 16, may have been coerced by an older, more experienced person into allegedly robbing a Blossom Park bank, according to investigators. “Whenever I kind of see somebody of that particular age group getting arrested for something as serious as this, it kind of crosses my mind that there’s a possibility that they have been put up to it, talked into it, coerced into doing (it) by somebody older, more experienced,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit. Police don’t typically see teens this young pulling off a bank robbery. Officers have, however, investigated cases in which Ottawa teens have been coerced into committing this type of crime. “I can think of a major investigation a number of years ago where we had people recruiting people at high schools and in the colleges to do bank robberies,” Haarbosch said. “So it happens.” The 15-year-old Caucasian male and 16-year-old black male, whose images were publicly released in the days following the Blossom Park bank robbery on March 11 at 7:15 p.m., eventually turned themselves in at police headquarters.
“We contacted them and suggested that was the way to go,” Haarbosch said, declining to provide specifics or how the teens were ultimately identified. Initially, investigators were on the lookout for a Caucasian male suspect whom they allege robbed the bank branch in the 2400-block of Bank Street near Hunt Club Road. Police said the suspect was partially disguised when he entered the bank, walked up to an employee and passed a note demanding cash. He made off with an undisclosed quantity of money and was believed to have headed on foot toward Bridle Path Drive, according to police. No one was injured in the incident. Five days after the crime, police released a description and images of a second suspect, saying that bank video surveillance cameras caught a black male suspect on tape arriving with the first suspect. They fled the scene together immediately afterward. Charges against the pair were laid on March 30, including robbery and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. The 15-year-old has also been charged with one count of wearing a disguise. The 16-year-old is also facing one count of breaching a Youth Criminal Justice Act sentence. Police are urging anyone with information on the case to contact them by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or by making an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Arrest made after four banks hit

Councillor/Conseillère Quartier Gloucester-Southgate Ward
Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
You’re invited! - Earth Day Event April 22 I would like to let residents of Gloucester-Southgate Ward know that I will be hosting my second annual Earth Day event this year on April 22 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the Greenboro Community Centre, located at 363 Lorry Greenberg Drive. Earth Day is the largest environmental event in the world, and this year my Earth Day theme is, conservation. I encourage you to drop by and speak with representatives from Hydro Ottawa, and the City of Ottawa to get easy tips on how to conserve energy and reduce your environmental footprint. Please join me that afternoon for a free raffle draw, small giveaways and cake, generously donated by Loblaws South Keys. Ash Trees Removal in Gloucester-Southgate Ward As the City of Ottawa continues to move forward with their Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Strategy I wanted to take the opportunity to provide residents with more information on what is happening in our own community. The Ash tree removals in Calzavara Family Park, Karsh Park, and Elizabeth Manley Park were completed this winter. Further clean-up of brush will take place in these parks once the snow has melted. Planting plans for larger caliper trees have been prepared and are scheduled to be planted in all three parks this June (Karsh Park ~25 trees, Calzavara Park ~35 trees, and Elizabeth Manley ~25 trees.) Further re-forestation planting will then take place in Fall 2015 Residents may have also noticed that a number of trees have been marked for removal in Pushman Park. Removal of these trees should take place closer to the end of April, however this may change depending on the demand for services and weather conditions. For more information on the EAB please visit ottawa.ca. Traffic Safety in Blossom Park I have been working with City staff on implementing a traffic measure in Blossom Park that will deter vehicles from driving around the newly installed speed humps on Queensdale, Kingsdale and Rosebella Avenue. I am pleased to inform you that this spring the City will be installing flex stakes along the 10 speed humps in Blossom Park which are adjacent to walking zones. This treatment will direct vehicles to go over the speed hump, rather than around. Please note that this project is only seasonal and will be removed during the winter season as it conflicts with snow removal.
Police have made an arrest following their hunt for a male suspect they allege robbed three banks and tried to rob another – all in the south and east ends of Ottawa in eight days. Surveillance images of the suspect had been released before, but robbery investigators hoped an image taken from cameras inside an Ogilvie Road bank during the most recent bank robbery would help crack the case. Then on Thursday, April 2, an Ottawa man “was located and arrested without incident in the Vanier area by the Ottawa police,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, said in a statement on April 3. Prior to the arrest, Haarbosch said in an interview he couldn’t think of a recent case in which one person was believed to be

this year – police allege a lone male suspect entered the bank at the Gloucester Centre, at 1980 Ogilvie Rd., on Monday, March 30 at 4:35 p.m. He passed a note to a bank employee demanding cash and indicating he was armed, though no gun was seen, according to
police. However, unlike the three previous bank robberies police believe he is responsible for, this time he didn’t leave with the cash he came for after he was confronted by another bank employee. See POLICE, page 5

Ottawa South News - Thursday, April 9, 2015
RileyBrockington.ca/Submitted
A proposal by a Montreal-based real estate development company to construct three student rental apartment buildings at 770 Brookfield Rd. is now on hold.
Project generated buzz in Riverside Park: councillor Continued from page 1
“The project as we know it is not proceeding. It appears this is now off the table,” said River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington, who was informed March 26 by city planner Simon Deiaco that the developer is not moving forward with the project at this time. Brockington said he was not told why nor provided with future timelines for the $60-million development. Requests for comment from Deiaco and Redfoxco president Raffaele Freddi were not provided before press deadline. Brockington said he is “not enamoured with what would have been a very dense site for post-secondary students.” The residences – described during a previous interview by Freddi as “comprehensive” and “very avant-garde – were to be marketed to university and college students. The plans called for 24/7 security, an indoor gym, a central courtyard and underground parking. Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association president David Hutchinson, who was surprised to learn the project has been paused, had some misgivings about the project as well as questions about who the tenants would be. “I think that it’s prime land and personally I would like to see the proposal designed as – just, up front, say that it’s regular rental properties or condos or something,” said Hutchinson. “One of the concerns I had about it was that it could turn out that a lot of it was filled with people who weren’t students who were basically doubling and tripling up because they didn’t have enough money to rent it themselves, and a building like that could support that kind of thing.” At a Feb. 2 public open house, more than 50 residents were presented with two options
for the first phase of the project: a six-storey 180-unit building with a 16-metre setback between the rear of the building and the backyards of homes located south of the property, as well as an eight-storey option with a larger 27-metre setback. The site is currently zoned for up to nine storeys. Hutchinson said he got the sense at the meeting that residents favoured a taller building in exchange for a wider setback. “I think the neighbourhood had come around to the idea that from a physical point of view it was going to be set back pretty well and it was going to block not very much sun,” he said. “It was a pretty reasonable accommodation from that point of view.” Some at the meeting expressed enthusiasm for the development, including one resident who hoped the commercial space on the ground floor would attract service providers, such as doctors and dentists, back to the community. Brockington expressed some disappointment “that for over a decade we’ve had nothing on that site that serves the Riverside Park community. So we recognize that we don’t have a lot of places, a lot of meeting places ... that at least the retail is aiming towards.” The majority of people who sent comments about the Brookfield Road proposal to Brockington’s office were pleased the parcel of vacant land was to feature a higher-end development. “There was some interest in the community, some buzz going on,” he said. When asked if Riverside Park is ready for such a large-scale development, Hutchinson said “the longer it remains vacant the more risk there is that something less attractive would come along. “I don’t think it’s really avoidable,” the association president said.

Countering episodes of anxiety
A
nyone who’s suffered anxiety – and most of us have at one time or another – knows there’s nothing funny about it. The lack of focus, that feeling of being overwhelmed by the littlest things. In extreme cases, anxiety can cause shortness of breath, blurred vision and dizziness leading to panic attacks, all of which are scary. In prolonged and severe cases, it can be very difficult for a person suffering from anxiety to get help because the even the smallest steps toward wellness appear as insurmountable mountain peaks. But anxiety can be sneaky, often starting as mild or situational anxiety. My bet is that, after the long and very cold winter we’ve had, millions of Canadians are experiencing mild forms of anxiety right now, people that aren’t accounted for in official statistics. There are a few things that can counter the effects of mild anxiety to try to keep it from snowballing into something much bigger. Avoid alcohol. If the thought of saying no to that after-work drink makes you more anxious, see how you feel after a few days without it. A cocktail at the end of the day may seem medicinal and relaxing – and one drink often is – but it can be easy to go overboard. As tipsy as you get in the evening, the more anxious you’ll often feel the next day. Breathe out. Maybe you’re about to step into a job interview, write an exam or walk into a room full of strangers. Contrary to the cliche of “take a deep breath,” forcing

Now that the sun is high in the sky, it’s much easier to get a dose of D naturally. It may
still be too cold to get the full effect of the sunshine drug – which requires bare legs and arms for maximum impact – but standing in the sun, particularly when it’s at its highest can still have an amazing restorative effect. Go natural. There are a number of theories across multiple disciplines that link modern anxiety to city living. Contrary to the harsh, repetitive lines in the built environment, nature is made up of abstract shapes. When in nature, it’s hard to focus on any one thing for too long and this has a positive impact on our brains. I liken the brain to a muscle. In built and indoor environments, we seize the muscle, blocked in by walls and stunted by straight lines and artificial noise, making us irritable and often anx-

ious. In nature, on the other hand, our focus is constantly shifting: we can look further, we can see more and, although it may seem paradoxical, our exercised brain is calmer as a result. Get moving. I’m not suggesting running a marathon every day, or even that you run at all. But if you feel anxiety creeping into your day, try taking a brisk walk around the block. A quick stint of cardio gets blood pumping into your brain, which can minimize anxiety. It has the added benefit of getting your creative juices flowing and makes you a more effective problem

solver. Finally, make some time in your day to pray or meditate. While nature offers a needed stimulant to the brain, we also need to take it to the other extreme, calm things down and focus intently on something for a few minutes each day. Anxiety can be sneaky. It can be hard to talk yourself into a walk, or even to breathe when you’re experiencing it. T ry practising these things before it creeps up so you can train yourself to respond before that debilitating moment, and maybe help a friend do the same.

Take up fight against fraud
E
ach year, thousands of people across the country lose millions of dollars through scams and fraudulent schemes. The way to combat this is through public awareness. Let’s talk about fraud, open up a dialogue and report on the harmful aspects of this type of victimization. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 66 per cent of Canadian-based mass marketing fraud that took place in 2014 was Internet and email based. Twenty per cent was conducted over the phone and the majority of victims are ages 50 to 70. Fraud is a terrible thing. It preys on honest citizens who are perhaps investing funds to save for retirement, or making a donation to a charity they trust. When the relationships break down and the money is gone, many victims feel shame and embarrassment. However, they can play an important role in investigating fraud, but the anti-fraud centre says
just five per cent report the crimes. If they share their stories, they could prevent other family members, friends or neighbours from falling for the same scams. Lottery and prize fraud schemes are also on the rise, and the CAFC says that in 2014 more than 4,000 Canadians reported prize or lottery fraud and 652 of those lost a total of more than $4.3 million. We should all keep in mind the old adage, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.� Keep in mind that most banking institutions and legal firms don’t send out blanket form emails to people asking for their personal information, so don’t give that information to anyone unless you have verified they are a company you deal with and know. Doing a bit of homework and taking a few extra steps could make all the difference in not becoming a victim of fraud. There’s no shame in doing a good deed or saving for your future. We all just need to be a little more careful where we put our hard-earned money.

Philanthropy, brought to you by ‌
T
he dictionary defines charity as “the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need.� But the dictionary was written a few years ago. A more modern definition might read something like this: “the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need, as long as the donor gets his name on a plaque.� This is what we draw from recent trends in philanthropy, including the revelation the National Capital Commission has reversed its policy barring onsite donor recognition. Instead of just mulling it over, as many of us would do, the NCC followed the familiar governmental pattern in paying $35,000 for some consultants to do the mulling.

ration with lots of dough, that hurts. It’s not that there’s anything particularly new about the concept. Donors rarely go unrecognized these days. University buildings and even seminar rooms are named after people and corporations. Concert programs list donors, sometimes even telling how much they gave. Museums have galleries with people’s names on them. It’s getting so life is beginning to resemble televised sporting events, where the first period is brought to you by somebody, the power play is brought to you by somebody else, and the out-of-town scoreboard is made possible for another corporation that paid for the privilege. None of which is to denigrate the spirit of giving. Good for those

private donors. Not all of us are so generous and many important parts of our lives would not be possible without that generosity. But, leafing through the program, don’t you have a sneaking admiration for good old Anonymous? It’s human nature to expect thanks for the good deeds, and it’s common courtesy to extend those thanks. But have we reached the point where no monument can go up without an indication of the contributors? If that’s true, we can at least hope Anonymous will be among them. A monument is supposed to be about what it’s about – whether it’s victims of communism or the Stanley Cup. And it should stand or not stand on the merits of the idea, not on the number of people who are willing to give financially to it. In the old days governments, acting upon expert recommendations, would simply go ahead and put up
a statue or a memorial. Parliament Hill is adorned by some stunning examples. There was no waiting for private contributions. The NCC’s previous policy was a reflection of that thinking. These are different times, and it shows.

Canterbury garage sale expected to draw hundreds of treasure hunters Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
They call it gigantic for a reason. Canterbury’s Gigantic Indoor Spring Garage Sale, which has been held annually since at least the early 1980s, is expected to once again draw between 700 and 900 people when it takes over the Canterbury Community Centre on Sunday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. When the 87 available tables first went up for grabs about a month ago, hopeful vendors lined up at the centre to ensure they would be able to showcase their goods at the popular event. “They come here early wanting to get it,” said John Marshall, president of the Canterbury Community Association, which organizes the garage sale extravaganza. “We have some of the same vendors who have been coming for decades.” This year, organizers plan to keep track of how many patrons come to the sale. Marshall, who in his day job is a statistician with Statistics Canada, also plans to survey vendors and patrons to ask them questions during the event to better gauge how people find out about the sale, where they travel in from and how many years they’ve been coming to the sale. The results will allow the
association to improve its marketing of the event and ensure vendors and buyers are satisfied, Marshall said. “In talking to people last year I do know they come from Kanata and Orléans and all around the city,” he added. In large part, the sale is a way for the volunteer-based association to enhance the community, just as it does
“It’s not to make money. It’s to build community.” John Marshall Canterbury Community Association president
through its popular Breakfast with Santa and Christmas craft sale. “The Christmas sale and the Breakfast with Santa, especially, you get a lot of people coming through the door that don’t normally get involved with things like that because there’s food, there’s stuff for the kids and Santa’s here,” Marshall said. “It’s not to make money. It’s to build community.” The Venturers from the 101st Ottawa Scouts will be running a canteen during the sale. During the event, most of
the rooms at the centre, as well as the foyer, will feature a bevy of goods, ranging from preserves and home-baked goods to craft items and other treasures, such as antiques and other odds and ends. “And then you’ll get the typical garage sale stuff,” Marshall said. “They’ll bring their inline skates, ice skates and hockey equipment, an old cell phone or Walkman – things like that. “I imagine it’s one of those places where, if you’re a rare book person and you need things, you come to events like this.” He too can’t help but browse the tables. Last year he picked up pickled hot pepper preserves as well as a cast iron Transformer Optimus Prime figurine for his eight-year-old son. Proceeds generated from the event, such as from table rentals, help the association contribute to several community initiatives, including post-secondary scholarships for graduating students at Hillcrest High School and Canterbury High School. Admission to the gigantic garage sale is free. The Canterbury Community Centre is located at 2185 Arch St. Parking will be available in the centre’s lot and on nearby side streets. Motorists are advised not to use the parking lots of nearby elementary schools.

Heavy smoke and flames forced an adult and two children from their home on Heatherington Road late last week. Multiple 911 callers reported that heavy smoke and flames were coming from the middle unit of a two-storey rowhouse at 1485 Heatherington Rd., near Walkley and Albion roads, on Friday, April 3 at 4:15 p.m. Fire crews worked to knock out the kitchen fire, which an Ottawa fire investigator later determined had been caused by an unattended pot left on the stove, said Capt. Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire spokesman. “Our crews began an aggressive offensive attack as soon as they got there,” he said. “By getting on an aggressive offensive attack, it’s a quick way for us to stop the fire with the least amount of damage.” Damages are estimated at $100,000 to the unit and $20,000 to the contents of the home. FILE There were no injuries in the incident, Ottawa firefighters were met with heavy smoke and fire at a rowhouse unit on and the Red Cross was called in to support Heatherington Road on April 3 that was caused by an unattended pot on the stove. the displaced residents, Rainboth said. An adult and two children were displaced in the incident.
Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations. Themajorityofthosesurveyedstated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itselfincompany,orintherestaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels. 10

The Rural Ottawa South Support Services wants to broaden its clientele to serve more than just seniors and adults with disabilities, according to its executive director. Mary Acton-Bond said the organization’s board of directors approved a new five-year strategic plan in December that centres on turning ROSSS into a support hub for all rural south residents. Currently the organization mostly supports seniors and adults with disabilities. ROSSS runs a Meals on Wheels program, regular outreach activities, preventative health clinics and transportation services for clients who would otherwise be stuck at home. But Acton-Bond said rural services are so lacking across all areas that it makes sense to put ROSSS’s expertise to work to support other groups as well. “We would like to be that door, that referral source, that connection point to put you in touch with the right people,” she said.
That will involve partnering with organizations that don’t necessary have the resources to serve the rural population, be that legal aid, a mental health outreach program or a specific support group like the Acquired Brain Injury Association, for example. “The urban organizations would like to have a presence in the rural area, but don’t have the capacity to take on the space,” Acton-Bond said. “If we can say we have a desk open on Wednesdays for your counselling program, we can make that happen.” While mental health support is the first gap to come to mind, Acton-Bond said ROSSS has lots of expertise in things like transportation services that can be used to help other populations – youth, for example. “The rural teen has the same isolation issues as a senior, almost,” Acton-Bond said. “If we can help youth gain some independence, we would like to support that as well.” To kick-start the transition, ROSSS is asking for community feedback through a short survey on the kinds of services needed in the rural south community.
“ROSSS is now ready to take the next step and is looking for input from residents of Rural Ottawa South to ensure that this hub will meet the unique needs of our community,” Acton-Bond wrote in an introductory letter. The survey asks for feedback on the types of barriers facing every group, from women to francophones to queer and transgender communities. It also asks participants to list what they feel are the community’s greatest strengths when it comes to services offered. The survey can be completed online at rosss.ca or in print at the head office in Manotick’s Dickinson Square. It can also be printed off and mailed into the office. ROSSS will also host three forums this spring: two small focus groups for volunteers and clients respectively, and a larger community forum on May 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. The location has yet to be determined, but residents are encouraged to watch for details at rosss.ca. To register for any of the three forums, call the ROSSS office at 613-692-4697.

Cyclist suffers head injuries after tumble into canal Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A 20-year-old male cyclist suffered a suspected head injury and was admitted to hospital in critical condition after he fell over a knee-high concrete sidewall and onto ice in the Rideau Canal. Ottawa paramedics were first to arrive after a passerby called 911 on Wednesday,
April 1 at 8:14 p.m. to report that a man had fallen into the canal in the vicinity of Colonel By Drive and the Heron Road bridge. “It’s a low wall with no railing there,” said Capt. Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire spokesman said of the wall that separates the pathway that runs along Colonel By from the waterway. Paramedics made their
way onto the ice and assessed and stabilized the man prior to the arrival of firefighters, said J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman. “He was semi-conscious when they arrived at (the) scene, so the potential for head injuries was great, plus any other trauma he may have suffered to the spinal column,” Trottier said of the cyclist who was not wear-
ing a bicycle helmet at the time. “He was showing clear signs of a concussion or neurological signs of a head injury. He had physical injuries as well – cuts, bruises – but I don’t know that he had suffered any fractures. Our paramedics did not suspect any fractures on him.” Fire crews were initially called to the scene for a wa-
ter rescue, but then quickly altered course to conduct a high-angle rescue since the man had fallen three to five metres down onto the ice of the near empty canal. “The water is drained in that section,” said Rainboth. Given the evolving nature of the rescue efforts, approximately 27 firefighters from upwards of five fire halls were called to the scene.
“We used our ropes and systems to bring the Stokes basket out of the canal,” Rainboth said, referring to the hard-shelled stretcher used. The cyclist was pulled to safety and transported to the trauma centre at the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital. Ottawa patrol officers are investigating the incident.

More than 12,000 books available
Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
Book collectors can expect more selection than ever before at this year’s spring book sale at the Rockliffe Park branch of the Ottawa Public Library. A steady stream of donated books has flowed into the library in recent months, overwhelming the Rockliffe Park Residents Association, which
runs the annual sale. “We’re getting more books than ever before. Something is going on here,” said Jane Dobell, who leads a team of more than 40 volunteers that put in months of work to plan and operate the event. “The result for us is it’s an extraordinary collection.” The group has sifted through piles of donations, discarding books that are in poor condi-
tion and packing away the sellable ones in storage for the spring. The sale, which raises money for the library, boasts more than 12,000 titles this year in a wide range of categories – from fiction of all types to reference books and beyond. “We get whole libraries from heirs of people who have died who or from people who are moving or downsizing,”
she said. “People have been very generous. It’s amazing the variety of interest we’ve had.” The sale is renting a tent this year, as the event has outgrown the small space at the library. It has also expanded to include CDs, DVDs, videos and vinyl. There are usually many rare gems sprinkled throughout the books on offer, Dobell said.
She recalled a time a few years ago when a colleague unknowingly priced an original edition of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road at $1. The book can sell for more than $1,500. The sale accepts cash only and will take place at the Rockliffe Park Community Hall, at 380 Springfield Road, on April 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on April 12 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière 770 Brookfield Road Development The City of Ottawa has been notified that the proponents of the 770 Brookfield Road development have withdrawn their proposal for three apartment buildings (geared towards post-secondary students) on the south side of Brookfield Road between Brookfield HS and the Brookfield Fire Station. No reasons have been provided to me for this withdrawal. The owner may at any time bring this matter forward again, but until that time comes, this matter is closed. 3071 Riverside Drive – Former Location of Bayview PS The City of Ottawa owns the ten acres of land commonly referred to as the former location of Bayview PS. Acquired in 2007, the City bought the land to control ownership and zoning and to provide the community with opportunities to share their vision of the site. The former City Councillor for River Ward hosted extensive public consultation regarding the future uses of this land and a tentative concept plan was established incorporating low density and medium density housing, as well as a 2-acre soccer pitch. Since that time, no action has been taken on this file. Later on in 2015, I plan to conduct one final round of consultation with the community on this matter and then authorize City staff to commence proceedings to amend the zoning for the land. This would eventually lead to the land being sold. Based on my current workload with other known development projects in River Ward, I anticipate that I will conduct consultation in September 2015.

Don’t be a victim: police Guard against break-ins while on vacation Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
If you’re leaving on vacation, make sure you’re not also leaving your house vulnerable to break-ins, warned rural south community police officer Const. Stephanie Lemieux. She said break and enters have been on the rise in rural south villages since February, particularly in Osgoode, Greely and Edwards. It’s likely because people are leaving on vacation, possibly for an extended time, which can tip off a potential burglar if steps aren’t taken to make the house look lived in, she said. According to the police crime mapping tool, there have been three break and enters in the outskirts of Osgoode village, including two on River Road on March 13 and 17 and an earlier incident on Springhill Road in February. Greely has had five break and enters over the course of February and March, including calls to D’Arcy Street on March 20 and to Tintern Drive on March 23. Edwards has had six break and enters between Feb. 11 and March 23, with the last called in on March 7. The break-ins are mostly
happening in the daytime, “which is kind of nervy,” Lemieux said. She said the best way to protect your home while one vacation is to make sure it looks lived in. That includes having someone shovel your driveway, putting your lights on a timer to click on at night, and getting a neighbour to put garbage out for you each week. “It just shows that people are home,” she said.

Safety tips
* Activate your security alarms/put safety bars in windows and doors * Put your lights on timers so they go on and off at different times * Notify trusted neighbours/family members so they can collect your mail and shovel your driveway * Have a neighbour park their car in your driveway * Use curtains on windows to prevent others from ‘shopping for goods’ * Keep tools, ladders or garbage pails locked away * Don’t talk about your vacation plans to strangers * Secure or remove valuables from your home. “You are the eyes and ears of your community, so please be vigilant in watching for who belongs and who doesn’t belong,” Lemieux added. If you suspect a house is being targeted or there is a crime in progress, call 911. Call 613-230-6211 for other non-life threatening emergencies.

Inquest into teen’s rugby death begins in May A coroner’s inquest is expected to shed light on how to prevent similar deaths among young players Staff
The regional coroner for inquests has announced the inquest into the death of Rowan Stringer will take place at city hall, and will begin on the morning of May 19, just over two years from the date of the 17-year-old’s death. Rowan, a 17-yearold John McCrae student, died on May 12, 2013, after suffering a head injury while playing rugby several days earlier. The inquest is ex-
pected to last 14 days and to hear from 15 witnesses. The hearing will examine the circumstances surrounding Rowan’s death, with hopes of a jury using the findings to make recommendations that will help prevent similar deaths. An inquest is launched whenever the coroner determines its findings could be in the public’s interest. Dr. Louise McNaughton-Filion, the regional supervising coroner for east Ontario, will pre-
side as inquest coroner and assistant Crown attorney Mark Moors will be counsel to the coroner. When the inquest was announced in February, McNaughton-Filion gave an idea of what to expect. “We’re going to be listening to the circumstances surrounding Rowan’s death and determine the answers to those questions,” said McNaughton-Filion. “If the jury finds there are useful determinations they can make, then they will do so.”

We Day not just a concert but an inspiration, say Ottawa students Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
We Day, known by some for hosting thousands of students and educators to free concerts with major music stars, held its 50th event at the Canadian Tire Centre on April 1. The Canadian event, which continues to expand into other countries along with international charity Free The Children - both founded by brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger - is in fact much more than a concert, said A.Y. Jackson students who have attended the event for several years. This year, with acts like rapper Kardinal Offishall, Juno Award-winning artist JRDN, and cast members from Degrassi, We Day lost none of its star-studded appeal. But with other speakers like the president and co-founder of Ottawa’s Capital Youth Initiative, Patrick Twagirayezu, United States Ambassador Bruce Heyman and his wife, Vicky Heyman, and 14-year-old Russell resident known as a “butterfly child,” Johnathan Pitre, the event gave student activists a chance to learn and be inspired by speakers and their fellow We Day attendees, said members of A.Y. Jackson Secondary School’s Alter Reality club. Grade 12 students Jessica Crosier, Caleigh Garbutt and Jessica Cooper have each gone to We Day two times or more, and they say their experience at the event each year has been invigorating, inspiring and eye-opening. Though We Day is free, you don’t get a ticket for nothing. Students have to prove they have taken action
Dancers from local crew Start Up Dance perform for 16,000 students and educators during National We Day at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata on April 1. The event, held in cities across Canada, the United States and Britain, is meant to inspire students to work to change the world for the better. Students earned tickets to the event by taking action for local and global causes.
that, if we work together, we can all make a difference,” said Cooper. The event has also given the A.Y. Jackson club ideas for supporting other initiatives, she said. “Last year, Free The Children’s initiative was the Blue Water project, so we did a penny drive. One bag of pennies was enough to build a well … and we raised quite an amount of bags of pennies, so we built quite a few wells from that,” said Cooper. This year, We Day speakers broke the day down into four sections, focusing on how change can happen through social, technological, educational and economic empowerment, but one common thread throughout the day was that it doesn’t matter how many people you end up helping, but that you find a cause you have a passion for and make a difference by doing something you like. In support of their cause, Crosier, Garbutt, Cooper and the other members of the Alter Reality club will be holding their annual multicultural buffet in May where traditional food donated by students, teachers and the community will be sold in support of the Haiti school project. But the club’s latest initiative will take place on the evening of April 10 where the students will bag groceries at the Real Canadian Superstore on Eagleson Road to promote awareness of the club and accept any donations shoppers might give. Though the three Grade 12 students said they are sad to know they won’t be able to attend We Day again after graduating, they said they hope others benefit from the experience just as they did.

on local and global causes to earn a spot. So, while the event is a reward of sorts, it’s not why Crosier, Garbutt and Cooper have fundraised most of their high school careers to build a school in Haiti. But it does help to keep them going and show just how many people have causes like theirs, they said. The Alter Reality activism club at A.Y. Jackson has been running for several years, working to support local charities like the Kanata Food Cupboard, and collecting money through school and community events to build a school in Haiti. Now, having almost raised the $8,000 necessary for the school, the three Grade 12 students hope to have finally reached that goal before they graduate. The club’s fundraisers, including an annual multicultural buffet and food collection for the food cupboard are what got them and other members of the club tickets to We Day. Every year, the event has given them a chance to see what other students of all ages are doing to make a difference in the world. “I think it’s like reassurance,” said Garbutt of the event. “You are not alone in this. Everyone else is trying to better this world.” About 16,000 students and educators were in attendance at this year’s We Day, some of whom were recognized in particular for their charitable work with callouts from the stage, though all had worked to get there. “It’s just really motivating to know that this group of 16,000 (people) are all trying to make changes – not just the 30 kids back at your school – and

Trustees nail down public school board staff cuts Lengthy, often heated meeting ultimately aimed for balance Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
vulnerable students. After consulting with staff, Zone 3 trustee Donna Blackburn introduced a substitute motion calling for a total of four special education positions (two learning support teachers and two learning resource teachers) to be eliminated and a further four instructional coach positions to be cut (on top of staff’s proposed reduction of five coaches). A second central principal position cut was included in the motion after an amendment by Zone 12 trustee Sandra Schwartz passed. “What I proposed, I think is a balanced approach,” said Blackburn,
who supported Seward’s original motion calling for no special education cuts. “I think we should meet staff halfway.” Seward, Zone 9 trustee Shawn Menard and Zone 2 trustee Christine Boothby spoke out against the motion, though trustees Lynn Scott (Zone 1) and Mark Fisher (Zone 7) said they felt it provided a reasonable solution to an imperfect situation. Director of education Jennifer Adams spoke to the situation and the alternate staffing proposal that was at the heart of Blackburn’s motion. See BOARD, page 25
R0013217366-0409
Trustees of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, many of them new to the job, were put in an uncomfortable position on March 31 as they decided which staff positions will be cut for the coming fiscal year. Ultimately, the group chose an option that spread the cuts over a wider
net, though it still meant four special education positions would have to be eliminated. With operational costs rising and Ministry of Education funding stagnant, the board needed to find efficiencies to cover the shortfall. Staffing makes up the majority of the board’s expenditures, meaning a portion of the $7 million to $8 million in savings needed to be found in that
pool. A staff report to the committee of the whole a week earlier had called for a loss of 14.67 special education positions, in addition to other cuts that totalled 28.71 full-time equivalents. A motion tabled by board chairwoman Shirley Seward and passed by trustees on March 24 instructed staff to take the special education cuts off the table and find the savings elsewhere. As the clock ticked towards the March 31 midnight deadline for staffing decisions, trustees searched for a way to ensure the cuts didn’t disproportionally impact the most

Board ‘lurching’ to extremes: trustee Continued from page 24
“To be frank, we haven’t been in a reduction mode in quite a while,” said Adams. “This is what we’ve been looking at for several months now. We would prefer not to make any reduction to any staff, but … our way of thinking now is that if we have to make reductions, we have to make them in a balanced way across many performance areas.” Ultimately, the substitute motion was defeated after a tied vote, at which point the original motion from the March 24 meeting was put on the table to be amended. Ellis moved that the motion be amended to include no cuts to special education, at the expense of a further eight instructional coaches eliminated.
Schwartz remarked that while she was a huge proponent of special education, “I feel we’re robbing Peter to pay Paul here,” adding that the province was doing a huge disservice to the program by underfunding it. A 13-full-time-equivalent reduction in instructional coaches would mean a loss of one third of the positions in the board’s elementary schools, she said. Menard then moved to amend Ellis’s amendment calling for an additional eight cuts to instructional coaches, reducing the number to the original staff-supported five positions. “We’re whittling the reductions down to nothing,” said trustee Fisher. “We’re adding all the spending back in, hoping that there’ll be savings found in phase 2 (of the
budget). It’s a spend, spend, spend methodology that’s not going to work these next three years.” Scott remarked that the group was “lurching from one extreme to another.” The board’s chief financial officer, Michael Carson, said that about $2.5 million in savings would have to be found in staffing, as phase 2 of the process covers facilities, maintenance and services – something that carries very fixed costs. Menard responded to Fisher’s remarks by saying that even with the special education staff and extra instructional coaches taken off the chopping block, they were still coming close to meeting Carson’s savings targets. Those amendments to the original motion didn’t pass when put to individual votes,
leaving the trustees against the wall and running out of time. Scott then moved that Blackburn’s original substitute motion be reconsidered. When tabled, it carried, though by a slim margin. The exhausting evening spent deciding unpleasant things clearly frayed the nerves of some trustees, leading Seward to allay worries about the conduct of the meeting. “I think the debate tonight was extremely healthy,” said Seward. “I don’t see disagreement on policy as ‘not getting along’ – we were elected to engage in healthy debate.” The budget process will continue through the spring, with the final, staff-recommended budget being presented to the committee of the whole on May 12.

Main Street Cellar head chef Braden Parks will get to flex his culinary muscles this weekend as one of two chefs chosen to compete in a fundraising cook-off for the Group of 78 charity on April 12. The non-profit organization is a foreign affairs advocacy group founded in the 1980s to promote peace and justice. Today its members are largely former politicians, diplomats and justice advocates who meet monthly to discuss current issues like the threat of terrorism, environmental concerns and international giving. The fundraiser at the Arrow and Loon restaurant in the Glebe will support the group’s annual conference, which this September will focus on the United Nations’ 70th anniversary. The chef competition is the brainchild of event co-ordinator Nindi Sarkar, who put a call out for local cooks earlier this year. She narrowed down a list of 14 through interviews and personal tastings; Parks served her his beef carpaccio and fried oysters. Sarkar said she knew right away that the Main Street Cellar chef would be a per-
fect match to face off against parliamentary restaurant cook Justin Scott, who had already been accepted. “Both chefs are young, they have a cooking style that is very unique to themselves,”
I wanted to put out a very balanced competition of two peers that are competing against each other NINDI SARKAR
she said. “I wanted to put out a very balanced competition of two peers that are competing against each other.” Parks may only be 23, but the Maberly native already has a decade of cooking experi-
ence under his apron. He started his career as a dishwasher at an organic restaurant in his hometown, moving quickly to chopping veggies before getting plucked to the cook’s line to hone his culinary skills. He attended St. Laurence College for a cooking apprenticeship, but didn’t finish – opting to work in his field, instead. Parks joined the Main Street Cellar in Manotick last September and took over the kitchen in January. His menu is constantly evolving as he puts a modern, locally-sourced spin on traditional Canadian and Italian fare; the restaurant’s options range from duck confit with hand-made gnocchi to house-smoked chicken and fresh salmon. On April 12, the two artists will prepare their five-course meals for 70 guests, but there’s a catch: neither will know the event’s secret ingredients until the day of the competition. That morning, they’ll receive a list and have three hours to plan their menu around it. Event planners will shop on their behalf, and then the cooks will have from 5 to 7 p.m. to get ready for the dinner service. See page SIMPLE, page 27

Ottawa Public Health Offers Parents Support With Bullying Last week Ottawa Public Health held their first-ever event for parents to help their children with bullying. They brought together key partners including school board and police representatives with the goal of building a supportive and safe community for those impacted by bullying. Additionally they provided parents with information, resources and services available to them in Ottawa. It also taught parents Emma Jackson/Metroland ways to report and respond to bullying incidents. This is Main Street Cellar chef Braden Parks has been chosen to compete in an elite cook-off for a Group of 78 fundraising dinner to not only a school issue but a community issue, for more mark the United Nations’ 70th anniversary. information please visit OttawaPublicHealth.ca.
Keep it simple: chef Parks said he won’t overcomplicate his menu. “I want to cook food that is simple, that everyone will like,” he said. He’s pretty confident when it comes to Italian fare – he spent three months at an Italian cooking school last year – but there are a few genres that might force him to get creative. “The only two I would find hard are Asian and Indian,” he said. “But I know the basics; I could come up with something.” He’s not nervous – yet – but Main Street Cellar owner Kim Burns said she’ll be pleased whether Parks takes home the title or not. “For me, he’s proven himself so far just by getting himself into the competition,” she said. Of course, if he does win they’ll look at adding his creation to the menu. “If people love it, we have to have the award-winning dish,” she laughed. Of course, having Parks on the roster will help put Manotick on the foodie map, she added. “Being in Manotick, we struggle to be heard and seen,” Burns said. Tickets for the contest are $65 each for 10 courses and dessert. They can be purchased at group78.org.

Police take stock of public opinion with online survey Staff
Check your mail. Yours could be one of 16,000 households randomly selected to provide feedback to the Ottawa Police Service on its performance, as well as on crime, safety and priorities in your community through an online survey. During March and April, the service is randomly mailing out an invitation to 16,000 people in Ottawa to go online to a secure portal and fill out the department’s 2015 public survey. You’ll be asked for your opinion on the level of crime in your neighbourhood, your concerns and to let police know how they’re doing, including what you think of the services they provide, including victim and investigative services. “The results of the survey will help to improve the quality of service and ensure the needs of Ottawa residents are addressed,” police said in a statement on March 24. “The information collected from the public survey will also assist the (Ottawa Police
Service) in identifying public concerns and priorities for the upcoming 2016-2018 business plan.” It’s the police department’s seventh public survey since 1995. The deadline to submit answers is April 30, and final results are expected later this spring. For the most recent questionnaire – conducted in 2012 – 16,000 invitations were mailed out. Of those, 536 were returned as invalid addresses, while 3,147 were completed. The response rate was 20.4 per cent, which police considered good, but that was lower than the 35 per cent response rate in the 2008 survey. The service said this was largely due to survey fatigue and that respondents were asked to log onto a secure website to complete the survey rather than provide written answers on paper. In addition to receiving answers to 63 close-ended questions and 21 open-ended questions, respondents provided data on their age, gender, language spoken at home, house-
hold income and size, as well education. Some survey results revealed that: * People’s perceptions of crime trends in the city have improved since 2006. * The most important concern was speeding vehicles and aggressive driving. * Overall satisfaction with policing services was very high at 81 per cent. * Four per cent of respondents were dissatisfied with the department’s services. * Seventeen per cent of residents say they have been a victim of crime, down from 21 per cent in 2008. People were also asked about the Neighbourhood Watch program and Crime Stoppers, among other topics in the last survey. If you don’t receive a survey this time, but would still like to provide input, email info@ottawapolice.ca.

Brookfield High artistic talent lines city’s walls in new exhibit Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
At the sound of the end-of-class bell, the students would put down their paintbrushes, wood-burning tools, pencils and pencil crayons, only to head back to the art room at Brookfield High School every chance they got. “Even when students were finished their artwork, they would come in for another week of lunch hours or after school and continue to rework what they were doing,” said art teacher Erin Cain. Their hard work has translated into a public exhibit now open to the public at the City of Ottawa Archives, which features 56 works of art and is entitled Canada’s Chronicles: A Glimpse of the Past Through Modern Eyes. It’s the third year the archives has featured a public art exhibit, all of which have so far displayed the talents of high school artists. Cain jumped at the opportunity to have her students create a showcase even though it meant quickly developing new lesson plans last fall for all of her students in grades nine to 12. “They did phenomenal,” she said, adding, in the end, the difficulty was in choosing which pieces to exhibit in the space, which couldn’t accommodate every artwork. For that reason, the exhibit includes a slideshow of additional artworks, as well as the students while they were working on their

benefit that we can use later on.” The 18-year-old used a woodburning technique to depict Louis Riel’s face. “He fought for people. He fought for his beliefs and what he believed was right,” Ladan said of the Métis leader. In addition to further honing her
artistic abilities, Ladan relished creating for a public audience. “The students raised their own expectations,” said Cain. “You can definitely see it.” Her Grade 12 students this semester also designed the layout of the exhibit, and even crafted a three-dimensional scale model of
the space before they hung each piece ahead of opening night. “It was pretty fun doing that,” said student Lay Tu, 18. “It looks really beautiful.” And in the end, the students said their efforts were rewarded with a finished product that impressed their principal, teachers and their family members during the public launch. That night, Alex Varas’ mom posted photos of the exhibit and his watercolour painting of a B.C. landscape on Facebook, prompting both of his grandmothers to tell him how proud they are. “It was a surprise to (have) them call and just compliment me on these things,” the 17-year-old Grade 11 student said. Maryam Galehdar, 18, who aspires to one day become an architect, brought her aunt to the ceremony. “She was really impressed,” said Maryam, who created two pieces for the exhibit. “She didn’t really want to go (at first) because she thought it would just be a high school thing, no big deal, and then I took her there and she was really impressed by the artwork.” For the show, Megan Ferguson handcrafted a moose from kidney and black beans on canvas in the Algonquin and Métis-style, as well as a watercolour landscape painting textured with wax.

“It’s pretty cool knowing that like I’m 16 and I have two artworks actually in the art gallery,” said the Grade 11 student, who is considering becoming an art teacher or cartoonist in the future. Minh Nguyen, 17, has two pieces in the exhibit, including a pencil-crayon drawing of a

lobster, in keeping with the Grade 12 theme of Canadian food. “Ms. Cain told us to have three sketches for each idea and for different angles of the lobster,” said Minh, who created a dark background in order to make the colours of the cooked lobster pop. While Minh drew a lobster and Maryam
drew a very realistic bag of ketchup chips, 17-year-old Yaxin Wang chose to depict Nanaimo bars because “It’s Canadian food and I like dessert,” she said, prompting her classmates to chuckle. In addition to learning about the city’s archives, as well as Canadian history, culture and identity, there was also some taste-testing involved in the creative process. “I was surprised by how many students had never tried a Nanaimo bar before,” Cain said. “So then I asked Minh if she had (tried) lobster, because I didn’t want to have to bring lobster in for the whole class,” the teacher said with a laugh. “So I was happy that she had tried it.” Some students, including Megan, plan to revisit the exhibit to see their artwork on display before the final day on Tuesday, April 14. For Alex, seeing his art on the walls of a public gallery has been worth all of the hard work and sacrificing his free time to produce something special. “It was very unusual seeing it among all these other pieces,” he said of his painting. “I like the feeling of it being in the gallery and the feeling of me accomplishing something.” The City of Ottawa Archives are located at 100 Tallwood Dr., near the corner of Woodroffe Avenue and Meadowlands Drive, and are open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more about the archives, visit ottawa.ca/archives.

Fourth leading cause of death in Canada (NC)—Going for an evening stroll, an afternoon hike or bike ride are great pastimes to enjoy the warm Canadian weather. But what if your lungs did not allow you to take in the amount of air needed to participate in the activities you love?
Unfortunately, the feeling of breathlessness is all too common for individuals living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); a progressive disease that causes lung damage and ‘blocks’ the airways making it difficult for a per-
son to breathe. Though COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in Canada, it is often mistaken as a disease of the elderly. “Current or former smokers, 40 years of age and older with any symp-
toms of wheezing, breathlessness, cough, sputum or frequent respiratory tract infections, should consider being tested for COPD,” mentions Dr. Alan Kaplan, a family physician with a special interest in respiratory medicine. “Although there is no cure

for the disease, it is treatable at any stage of the illness. The earlier a person is diagnosed, the quicker we can get them on appropriate treatment to help improve their quality of life.” The Canadian Thoracic Society’s COPD guidelines have five simple questions that can help at-risk Canadians determine if they should speak with a healthcare professional about COPD. • Do you cough regularly? • Do you cough up phlegm regularly? • Do even simple chores make you short of breath? • Do you wheeze when you exert yourself when exercising, going up stairs, or at night? • Do you get many colds, and do your colds usually last longer than your friends’ colds? Current and former smokers who are over 40 years of age and answer ‘yes’ to any of the questions above should speak with their doctor about getting a test called spirometry to establish if they have COPD and begin appropriate management.

Teaching a young child to share can be a difficult task for any parent, but when it came to Lisa Lutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; five-yearold daughter, Sera, Lutes was at a loss for what to do. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sharing toys, books or stuffed animals that Sera was having a particular problem with, said Lutes. It was letting others use the microwave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She felt like she was this expert,â&#x20AC;? said Lutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So she pressed the buttons every time anyone made anything.â&#x20AC;? Sera â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who has autism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would even push past her parents to get to the microwave if she thought they were about to use it, she said. And if anyone else succeeded in using the appliance, a piercing yell would soon follow, said Lutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She would scream and
scream and scream,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Glen Cairn family knew they had to do something, but unsure just what to do, they asked Seraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher for some advice. With some paper and marker, Seraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher began drawing some simple pictures, said Lutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; things like a screaming face with an X through it to show â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not scream when someone else touches the microwave.â&#x20AC;? A little surprised, the Lutes realized the drawings helped Sera see what she was doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really helped,â&#x20AC;? said Lutes. It also gave them an idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be cool if we made it into a real book and personalize (the story) a bit and make it funny,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Lutes. So, Lutes, along with her
husband, Jay, an illustrator and kids author, got to work on Seraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Push The Buttons On The Microwave. After a year of work, the book was launched in late March. Written by Lutes and illustrated by her husband, they think it will be a unique offering directed at kids with autism. While there are plenty of resources for parents of kids with autism, as well as basic instructional books for children with autism, there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many stories for the kids to enjoy and learn from that are about them, said Lutes. For Sera, who is almost exclusively a visual learner, reading about herself and seeing how she and others react to different situations in drawings has been a huge help, said Lutes, and hopefully it can do the same for other children. See OTHER, page 39
Other story topics to include loud toilet flushes, preoccupation with trains Continued from page 38
and for them. She hopes to write a series of books about â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping it will help them get a common fixations and hang-ups that chilperspective on other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings about dren with autism have, and already has ideas the situations that they for books about loud are putting them in,â&#x20AC;? toilet flushes, obsesshe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just sions about trains and them being upset about Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just them being upset more. the microwave.

Pineview Community Association to hold safety audit Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
Two years after a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted near the Blair Road transit station, the Pineview Community Association is set to conduct a safety audit of the area this summer. The community association is inviting residents to help canvass the many unofficial paths that lead to and around the transit stop.
F
“There are some really dark pathways that pedestrians use,” said Lynn Lau, the president of the association. “With the way the neighbourhood was built in the 1960’s, walkability wasn’t very important in the planning process.” The audit will be done at night in order to assess lighting in the neighbourhood and to get a sense of where people may feel vulnerable and unsafe. Lau said the community association then plans to
submit its findings to the city in the hope of getting better infrastructure at some of the area’s high traffic paths, where lighting and visibility is scarce. Lau said the community association did a survey last year and found many people did not feel safe on one of the main footpaths pedestrians take to the Blair Road station. “It’s a lonely stretch at night and at night it can feel a little scary,” she said.
The victim of the 2013 incident was approached by four young men at the Blair Road Bus Station, who then led her to a secluded area off one of the footpaths to allegedly rob and sexually assault her, police said. Police later arrested and charged four suspects. Lau said the community association hopes the audit’s results will push the city into action that will help make residents feel safer. The audit will also explore traffic
safety along Blair Road, where there is no sidewalk and the speed limit is 70 kilometres per hour. The community association will hold the audit on July 27 at 7:30 p.m. in partnership with Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments, and has invited police and Beacon HillCyrville Ward Coun. Tim Tierney to attend. More information about the safety audit can be found at pineviewottwa. com.

Robbery investigators hope to identify two males wanted in connected with the alleged robbery and assault of a retail storeowner in the 100 block of Rideau Street on March 26
Rideau Street storeowner robbed, assaulted with handgun: police Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Two men who police say travelled in a taxi cab to and from the scene of a violent retail robbery on Rideau Street were caught on the vehicle’s video surveillance cameras. Those images may be the key to cracking the case for police as they work to determine the identities of two males they believe are connected to the assault and robbery of a storeowner at a retail business in the 100 block of Rideau Street on Thursday, March 26. After arriving by cab at 8:42 p.m., the male in the backseat entered the store, while the front-seat passenger remained in the vehicle, said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit. Inside the store, the suspect pulled a handgun and demanded the storeowner turn over valuables, said Haarbosch. “When the storeowner
didn’t immediately comply, he assaulted him with the handgun,” said Haarbosch, declining to elaborate on the victim’s injuries, only saying that he required medical attention and was treated in hospital and released. The suspect also took personal property belonging to the victim. Haarbosch declined to reveal what was taken from the owner. “We want to keep something back to assess the credibility of the tips as they come,” said Haarbosch. The suspect then fled to the waiting taxi. The driver dropped the pair off at another location in Ottawa, which Haarbosch also declined to disclose. “We have interviewed the cab driver,” he said, adding that he is not considered a person of interest. Police have investigated cases before in which cabs were used to commit a crime and the taxi meter was running.
Investigators do not believe the robbery and assault were motivated by a personal vendetta, but rather for financial gain. Despite the initial attempt to make off with valuables from the store, the personal items taken from the storeowner did not have a significant monetary value, said Haarbosch. The male who entered the store is considered the primary suspect in the case and police said the male waiting in the cab is a person of interest. The primary suspect in the case is described by police as a black male, about fivefoot-nine and was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, grey jogging pants, black running shoes, white gloves and a white balaclava. The person of interest is described only as a black male. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or call Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477.

Disney launches new Star Wars game made with Ottawa company Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Star Wars lovers and game creators at Kanata company Gigataur celebrated the launch of the newest Star Wars game on March 27, after working with Disney for 16 months to create it. The mobile gaming company, formerly Glitchsoft, secured a contract to make the game alongside Disney animators and writers, resulting in Star Wars Rebels: Recon Missions. The game, based on Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new digitally animated TV show, Star Wars Rebels, is set five years before Luke Skywalker meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, and focuses on rebels opposing the tyranny of the Empire. Coming out nine months before the anticipated release of the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, the game is
meant to â&#x20AC;&#x153;onboard the new generation of Star Wars fans,â&#x20AC;? said Gigataur CEO Andrew Fisher. The project is Gigataurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;biggest game yet,â&#x20AC;? said project producer Laura Townson during the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release. Over the last three years, the company has released mobile games for Mattelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s He-Man franchise, and Marvelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s X-Men, boosting Gigataurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prominence among companies with major franchises. Gigataur was started by Wes Tam, Ian Anderson, Josh Phillips and Eric Dalrymple in Kanata six years ago, partnering with Wesley Clover International to become a force in the mobile gaming industry. The company has mostly hired locally, which was acknowledged by Orleans councillor and Deputy Mayor Bob Monette during the announcement.
Though work on the Star Wars game was the result of long hours and gruelling work, the project was a labour of love for many employees, said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my desk over there with the giant Darth Vader,â&#x20AC;? he said, pointing it out among workstations strewn with Yoda, the Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine and other toys from popular franchises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us are really passionate about the games that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HeMan, X-Men or Star Wars,â&#x20AC;? he said. Phillips called working on the game, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had in my life.â&#x20AC;? The company hopes to win the approval of both original Star Wars fans and the new generation of movie-goers with the game, which is available for iOS, Android and Windows devices.

Hike!: RedBlacks visit elementary school brier.dodge@metroland.com
Students at Trillium Elementary School grooved alongside RedBlacks players and mascot Big Joe during a March 31 presentation. The event was a part of the team’s Game Plan for Success school program. During the school year, Ottawa Fury soccer players and Ottawa 67’s hockey players have also been participating in similar-themed programs in schools. Students at Trillium were big fans of players Jamill Smith and James Green’s energy as the two players danced with students and goofed around with Big Joe throughout the presentation. Students lined up, eager for autographs from the two professional football players once the assembly finished. The presentation was hosted by Mark Sluban, who works with the RedBlacks. He talked to students about never giving up, teamwork and setting goals. “A player wants to put the puck in the net, but we have all types of
goals,” Sluban told the students. “Maybe some of you want to do better on the next math test.” Both Smith and Green answered questions from Sluban about their childhood and how they made it to the ranks of professional football players. Green only started playing football when he was 17 years old and a senior in high school. He played for several schools, and graduated from the University of Calgary. “I was playing basketball and everyone was telling me I was too small, so I figured I’d try something new,” Green told students. “I had to work very, very hard.” Smith started playing football when he was very young, despite living in a basketball-crazy town in Indiana. He said he grew up with a chip on his shoulder because of small stature. “We think of these giant men, 6foot-6, as football players,” Sluban said. “But football takes people of all different shapes; all types of people can play.” Smith went on to play football at

Pet Adoptions Meet Mikka (ID# A176754), a sweet and lovable little puggle just waiting for a forever home of her very own. Mikka loves car rides and would enjoy accompanying you on all of the adventures that life has to offer! She thrives on predictability and would do best in a family with kids who are eight and older. She is still a little unsure of other dogs but could live with a very polite and respectful dog. Mikka, who is 10, would love to stay active to help her shed some of her winter weight to get back her girlish figure. She’d do best in a detached home as she tends to enjoy singing when alone or bored. For more information on Mikka and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

Each month, hundreds of lost stray animals arrive at the OHS. Sadly, many have no identification, which makes it difficult for shelter staff to find their owners. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin and is virtually painless.

Each microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. The OHS holds microchip clinics throughout the year. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. Microchips will not fade or be

Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the farm was obvious The snow was gone from our long lane, and it had settled into deep ruts of mud which wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely dry up into the early summer. Thick bush on either side of the lane stopped the sun, and it was one of the last places on the farm to give up the snows of winter. Walking home from the Northcote School that time of year, we had to walk down the centre of the lane to miss the mud in the deep ruts. That day I could smell a difference in the air. Mud had a special smell to me, one I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly fond of. But I knew it was also the smell of spring, one of my favourite times of the year. And so, that day on the way home from school, I knew there would be other changes too around the farm. Father would be pleased that
MARY COOK Memories the barnyard had cleared of snow, and the cows could graze on dry land. He would never tolerate any of the farm animals wallowing around in mud, and often I saw him move them from one place to another just to keep them on drier land. As I came out of the the lane, I could see patches of snow still here and there on the TwentyAcre Field that separated our
farm from the Thomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. It would have to be completely dry before the planting. I neared the swing gate and then I saw Father. He was leaning on the fence that circled the barnyard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most unusual for him at that time of day. He was wearing what we called his â&#x20AC;&#x153;between winter and summerâ&#x20AC;? hat. It was more of a cap, with lugs that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother to tuck up,
but just let them dangle around his ears like flapping wings. Father waved at me and I waved back and when I got within a few yards from him he told me to leave my school bag near the gate as he had something to show me in the barn. Goose eggs, maybe? Or a new litter of kittens that appeared as regular as clockwork? But no, Father wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be excited enough about either to meet me at the gate. He took me by the hand, as if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where the barn was. I felt the warmth and the roughness of a hand that had only known hard work and long hours, but I felt a comfort too. He took me to the farthest end of the barn, past the stalls of where the cows were kept, and into the darkest crevices of the barn at the very south end, never letting go of my hand.
ing us, and the two little lambs trying to find their place in this new world they had been born into. I realized Father was still holding my hand. We came out of the barn, and Father said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Better go to the house. Mother will be looking for you.â&#x20AC;? I walked ever so slowly to the back door, thinking about what I had just seen, and even though I was very young, I knew again why my father so loved his farm. Why every inch, first settled three generations before him, would always be his haven. I remember, as if it were yesterday, looking up to the sky that day and thanking whoever, or whatever was up there looking down at us, and saying my childish thanks for all that was around me. The Depression, indeed, was in some other country.
I could smell the fresh hay that had been mounded in the corner, thrown down from the hayloft above. Father said nothing, just leaned over the low stall boards, and let me adjust my eyes to the darkness, and then I saw what Father had taken me into the barn for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you look at that,â&#x20AC;? he said so softly I could barely make out what he was saying, and I could hear a wonder in his voice. And there in the corner of that small stall was one of our ewes, and beside her two newly born lambs, their wool still damp from their birth. One was wobbling on legs that looked like little white sticks, and the other curled up beside its mother, two tiny bundles of white fluff. We leaned into the stall for the longest time, saying nothing. The mother sheep was eye-

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
