Golfers take successful swing at world record Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
One by one Ottawa golfers and non-golfers alike lined up, some in costume and others in military uniform, to take a swing at making history. Their successful attempt on July 21 to have the most
people hit a golf ball 100 yards in one hour drew 239 participants, sinking the record set last August in Hong Kong by 199 people. “I didn’t see too many of those balls falling short of 100 yards,” said MC Mike Sutherland. See RECORD, page 14

Police probe possible stabbing after victim’s neighbour requests help on July 24 at 7:15 a.m. That street has mostly single-family homes, but there are several low-rise apartment buildings, known as the Riverview Estates and Coronation Estates, at Weyburn and Coronation Ave., which becomes Russell Road

to the southeast. “The (incident) happened on Russell Road and he walked home and a neighbour called in,” Trottier said, adding that it was unclear whether the man lived at the Weyburn address. Paramedics assessed and treated wounds the man said he suffered during an assault. “The incident may have happened hours before,” Trottier said, adding the assault victim told this to paramedics at the scene. “He got a laceration to the back and had been either kicked or punched,” he said, noting the man suffered at least one laceration consistent with a stab wound, as well as bruising to his upper body. The possible stab wound was not considered life-threatening. The victim was transported to hospital for further care.
Ottawa patrol officers were called to the scene by paramedics due to the nature of the man’s injuries. “We were called to that location, but there’s no evidence to what the story was or where it occurred,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman. Police believe the man was assaulted at another location. While the victim’s injury was consistent with that of a stab wound, that could not yet be confirmed. “He did suffer injuries from an assault, possibly with a weapon,” said Benoit. “I can’t say if it’s a knife or something else.” Investigators were continuing to speak with numerous witnesses. No further details were available given the ongoing nature of the investigation.
‘Brazen’ Hunt Club home invasion prompts appeal for tips Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A Hunt Club senior citizen awoke from a nap to find three men in his home, one with a replica handgun and a roll of duct tape, according to investigators. The Ottawa police robbery squad is investigating the July 14 case as a “brazen” home invasion given the fact it happened in broad daylight around 3:45 p.m. “We typically don’t see these things at that time of the day,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who oversees the robbery team. Investigators aren’t yet sure whether the victim was specifically targeted or if the home on Bankview Place, which is not far from Hunt Club Road and the Airport Parkway, had been randomly chosen. It may well have been a crime of opportunity as the victim’s garage door had been left wide open and the interior door left unlocked. “That’s one of the issues. We’ve got the obvious potential there of an open garage door, but then we’ve got also the fact that they brought a handgun – albeit it looks like it was an imitation handgun – and then duct tape and they made a demand for money,” said Haarbosch. “We’re uncertain at this point if he was specifically targeted – if he was we don’t know why – or if it was random.”
File
Ottawa police are seeking tips from anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the vicinity of Bankview Place, Pattermeade Crescent or Bartlett Private in the Hunt Club community, just north of Hunt Club Road, on July 14. But the crime-of-opportunity theory doesn’t quite mesh with the fact the suspects were armed with an imitation handgun and duct tape, said Haarbosch, adding that smacks of planning to confine someone. “Again, we don’t know if that was their specific intent or whether it was something they had just in case they were planning on doing a break-in and things went south … and they got surprised,” he said. Once the three suspects gained entry, the victim awoke from his nap on the couch and the trio demanded money.
They then split off and two suspects went to search the home for goods. The remaining suspect attempted to confine the victim and tape his mouth shut, said Haarbosch. They struggled and the elderly man broke free and ran to a wall-mounted alarm panel in the house. He pressed some of the buttons and told the intruder he had just called police. “At that point the three of them bolted from the residence,” Haarbosch said, and credited the victim for his quick-thinking. “It was very astute on his
part to do something and get them out of the house as quickly as possible,” he said. “And in the end they left empty-handed. The victim suffered minor injuries, but did not require hospitalization. “His glasses got pushed into the side of his face and he had a small laceration by his eye,” Haarbosch said. A witness later told police that around the time of the crime four males – one of whom may have served as a lookout during the robbery – had run to a car parked on Bartlett Private, located one street over to the south, off Pattermeade Crescent. Given the unanswered questions police have about the case, including whether it was targeted or random, they are urging residents of that Hunt Club neighbourhood to come forward if they recall seeing suspicious activity that day. That neighbourhood has not been a hotspot for crime, Haarbosch said, adding there
have been no reported home invasions there for at least a year. Tips are now needed to help solve the case given how generic the descriptions of the suspects are, as well as that of their getaway vehicle, said Haarbosch. The vehicle was said to be silver or grey and similar to a Hyundai or Toyota model. The suspects are described by police as black males, or having dark complexions.
They were between the ages of 18 and 25. One had a chubby build and small afro-style hair. And at least one of the suspects had a scarf that covered the lower half of his face. All four are facing potential robbery and break-andenter charges. Anyone with details about the case is urged to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or report anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477.

Crime-fighting graffiti mural arrives in Heatherington Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Graffiti street art has arrived in Heatherington to help combat crime. It may seem like an unlikely combination, and
when the first mural was applied to the wall of a Thunder Bay Mac’s convenience store four years ago, Sean Sportun had no idea if it would make a difference. “Quite frankly it was a shot in the dark,” said
Sportun, manager of security and loss prevention for Mac’s Convenience Stores in central Canada. He is also vice-chair of Toronto Crime Stoppers. “We had tried everything from increasing the lighting,
cameras, fences. We tried every technique possible and nothing seemed to work.” The results of the mural program have proven so concrete that Mac’s is taking the art on tour this summer to a Calgary store and nine in Ontario. Heatherington received one at the Mac’s plaza at Walkley and Albion roads on July 4 and 5, followed by stores at 888 Meadowlands Dr. East and 1025 Merivale Rd. At all mural sites, tagging rates and even armed robberies are down. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
As each artwork is painted, it becomes an engagement exercise and residents, particularly kids and teens, are invited to join the artist and police. “When we brought the community together, the crime at the store has virtually gone away,” Sportun said of the first Thunder Bay location. The artwork has not been vandalized, nor has the store been robbed. Prior to that, it had been targeted several times. “The point of it is breaking the barriers with the community, the police, getting people out, getting people talking, and appreciating their community more than what they do.” See ICONIC, page 5

Iconic images help strengthen community pride: constable Continued from page 4
In Heatherington, kids stood side by side with Ottawa police officers to try a little tagging on the plain brown brick wall on the side of the Dairy Queen before the mural was crafted at the Walkley Plaza where the Mac’s store is located. “Now the kids in the community will see the cops as cool: ‘Wow, we tagged that wall with the cop and I remember,’” Sportun said of the connection. Toronto-based professional graffiti artist Magic Finnga WonG spends time during each project teaching local kids the difference between legal and illegal graffiti, as well as the dangers of inhaling spray paint fumes, and the artistic process that goes into each work of art. “These kids would be there for the full day sometimes and they would go home for lunch
and come back,” Sportun said. “WonG is really good at reaching these kids and getting into their mind of doing things positive instead of negative.”
“They really wanted to capture Ottawa and have this community feel proud of this mural.” Const. Stephanie Lemieux
Now that neighbourhood kids have been given the chance to take part in the transformation, they are more likely to have a vested interest in protecting the artwork, he said. With the success of Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Paint It Up! graffiti program for youth, “we know that murals
help to reduce the amount of graffiti on the walls. We know it also helps reduce crime in neighbourhoods,” said Ottawa community police Const. Stephanie Lemieux, who took part in the Heatherington initiative. It results in less tagging, largely because “there’s a whole respect within graffiti street artists,” she said. The Ottawa artwork also features iconic images that resonate with locals, including the Peace Tower at Parliament Hill and slain soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial as well as the spider statue at the National Gallery. “They really wanted to capture Ottawa and have this community feel proud of this mural,” Lemieux said. “It’s positive for this community.” The graffiti art has captured the attention of academics. Toronto murals going up this summer are being funded

Mayor’s Report
Lansdowne Park
Smoke and flames forced three people from their semi-detached homes at 2058 and 2056 Blossom Dr. in the Blossom Park community on July 26. The cause of the fire is still under investigation but has been deemed accidental. Damages are pegged at almost $500,000.
By: Mayor Jim Watson
City Council recently received its annual report on the Lansdowne Park partnership, and it contains some very good news for Ottawa residents. It shows that the site was visited by over 2.5 million last year, and that over 1,000 jobs have been created at Lansdowne in the shops, arena, restaurants, stadium and on the grounds. It also shows how popular and successful the Horticulture Building has become, with hundreds of events taking place each year, many of which are charity and non profit activities. The popular Farmers’Market continues to grow, with the addition of the very popular Christmas markets held in the Aberdeen Pavilion in December. I am pleased to report we have also signed a new lease with our Farmers to ensure they have continued stability. The retail component is now 97% leased, and it’s great to see so many people enjoying dinner on one of the many patios throughout the Park. On the Canal side of the park, I always marvel at the amount of new green space and trees that have been added to the public areas. Whether its kids playing in the park, or skateboarding or just tossing a Frisbee around the Great Lawn, the Park is now really a Park! The fruit trees and apple orchard are now bearing fruit, and the community gardens beside the Horticulture building are fully utilized. The skating court was open more than 100 days last season, as well. Financially, the plan sees the City receiving a dividend of over $32 million over the life of the agreement. What a change from Lansdowne, complete with its rundown building and acres of asphalt costing taxpayers $3-4 million in losses each year!

All of the doom and gloom that Glebe grocery stores would close hasn’t happened, or that traffic would be a nightmare on game days, really has not materialized. Yes, there is more traffic at the site, but OSEG has worked with the community to minimize this with their agreement with OC Transpo and operating shuttle services. Sadly, some on council continue to fight the deal, but they just can’t seem to accept that we have a great success on our hands. (Ironically, some of those same opponents were happy to rush to have their picture taken during the grand opening and plaque unveiling!)

Flames and thick black smoke ravaged two semi-detached homes in Blossom Park early Tuesday morning, causing an estimated $495,000 in damages. Firefighters were called to 2058 Blossom Dr. on July 26 at 6:49 a.m. in response to reports that smoke and flames were coming through the roof. An adult female had already escaped her burning twostorey home and a couple living in the attached unit next door at 2056 Blossom Dr. was also told to evacuate. Once on scene, crews launched into an aggressive fire attack. The incident commander “said the smoke was so thick (he) didn’t know what unit the fire was in. It was hard to discern,” said Capt. Danielle Cardinal, Ottawa fire department spokeswoman. The bulk of the flames licked at the roof and eaves of the first home and were brought under control at 7:21 a.m. However, a few minutes later at 7:44 a.m. it was discovered that the fire had spread next door. It was detected by crews working with thermal-imagine cameras at the adjoining home, Cardinal said, adding the reignited fire was quickly snuffed out. The home where the fire originated suffered $375,000 in structural damages and $75,000 in content loss. Structural damage to the next-door home was pegged at $45,000, but there was only minor content damage, said Cardinal. Firefighters had placed several tarps on items in both dwellings to try and minimize the impact. The next-door couple has since returned to their home. But a mother and her adult daughter living at 2058 Blossom Dr. have been forced to find alternate accommodation, Cardinal said. The Red Cross and Salvation Army were called in to provide assistance to the fire victims. The Electrical Safety Authority has been called in to help identify the cause. “The fire was accidental, however the exact cause remains under investigation,” Cardinal said.

A male suspect seeking the highly addictive drug Fentanyl didn’t get what he was looking for when he allegedly robbed an Elmvale Acres pharmacy. But he did get away with undisclosed medications on July 12 just before 4 p.m. at the small shop in the 1000-block of Pleasant Park Road near St. Laurent Boulevard, according to robbery investigators on July 19. In a video released by Ottawa police, the suspect can be seen walking into the store and jogging up to the counter. He vaulted a gate and approached the pharmacy employee, pointing at something with his right hand as the worker backs up and motions toward the suspect while clutching a stack of paper. The suspect wore a blue medical glove on his right hand. Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who heads up the Ottawa police robbery unit, said he presumes the suspect wore a glove to keep his fingerprints

Sports will win over the world
I
t’s always easier to by cynical than to expect the best of a challenging situation. And the upcoming Olympics in Brazil is certainly a challenging event. The threat of the Zika virus is prompting some athletes to drop out. There are questions about security. And the thought of Russian secret service agents creeping around in the dark, replacing little bottles of tainted urine with little bottles of clean urine is laughable. That’s no way to boost the image of international sports or celebrate the spirit of honest competition. Despite all the bad news, the stories of the individuals who work hard for a chance to take on the world is what really matters. Athletes from here in Ottawa and across the country are getting ready to head south to Rio. And when the moment comes, when the competition begins, they will inspire us. The look of enthusiasm and pure joy on the face of Rosie MacLennan, Canada’s flag bearer at
the Olympics, momentarily outshines any negative aspects of the international competition that now features all the angst revolving around banning Russian athletes for illegal drug use. MacLennan’s efforts and emotions – along with the determination and commitment of her fellow Olympians – will cross the finish line way ahead of the intrigue and frustration caused by a scandal that athletes have been complaining about for years. Honest athletes can look forward to finally being vindicated and compete in the Olympics they way want to. After all of the noise created by so many concerns has died down, athletes will once more find themselves alone with their thoughts, tensing muscles and saying silent prayers as they spend those last few seconds waiting for their turn to test their training and motivation. Any negativity encountered in Rio is just one more hurdle to sail over. Canadian athletes of every stripe will still compete with pride and passion when their moment comes.
Let’s stop telling kids the Internet is scary
W
hen it comes to managing our kids’ online lives, parents, teachers and other well-meaning adults may be taking the wrong approach. Since 2001, media literacy and education group MediaSmarts has been surveying parents and kids about attitudes toward online behaviour. Over time, they’ve seen a disturbing shift in views from both cohorts. The Internet, once seen as a positive educational tool, is now more often presented as a dangerous and scary place for kids to hang out. But by fear-mongering, we may be inadvertently disempowering our kids both online and offline. “What research suggests – including wide-ranging research in the U.K. – is that kids who are not given opportunities to take risks online don’t develop the safety skills they need and they don’t
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse develop resiliency,” says Matthew Johnson, director of education at MediaSmarts. “That means when things do go wrong, they don’t know what to do and it affects them more strongly and more negatively.” Research also suggests that parents who spy on their kids – constantly monitoring their online behaviour – are actually putting their kids at greater overall risk. “Kids who think they’re under constant surveillance are not going to go to their parents when they get into trouble,” says Johnson. Fear-based media, government and educational campaigns geared
at teaching kids about real risks like cyberbullying and privacy are also having the opposite intended effect, says Johnson. “Most efforts by governments at all levels to address these issues have been framed in negative, punitive context, relying on scare tactics, all of which are elements that we know make youth tune them out,” Johnson told the audience at the Canadian Internet Forum in Ottawa last month. Girls are disproportionately more likely than boys to feel that the online world is dangerous for them, which is having the simultaneous effect of excluding girls – and women—from the tech world and the larger digital economy. “There are a lot of online spaces that can be unfriendly to girls,” says Johnson. “But we also know these spaces – the gaming world for example – can be important gateways to (the acquisition of) technology

skills. When we give girls the idea that the online world is unsafe, they’re not even going to try to get into these spaces.” There are a number of ways parents can better empower their kids and make them safer online. For young children, says Johnson, it is a good idea to curate what they’re doing online, ideally sitting down with them to explore and use the Internet. As they age, set clear rules about acceptable and unacceptable online behaviour. “Our research found that in homes where rules about expected online behaviour had been established – sharing of personal contact information, insulting someone – kids were less likely to engage in negative behaviours online.” Johnson says it’s also important to let kids know that they “have the right to be safe online” and not subject to harassment, whether it’s in a gaming forum or on social EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225

New addition to church pew was very entertaining
O
ur family sat in the pew next to the very front of the church, which I always thought was a shame because I could never see a thing going on behind me. Mother forbade us to turn around in our seats, and my sister Audrey said the whole back of the church could fall in behind us, and Mother would expect us to keep our eyes peeled straight ahead. I thought the church service long and boring. The time dragged by, and even though Audrey said it was a real sin to let my mind wander away from what the minister was saying, I had no idea what he was talking about. And so it was with more than a bit of joy the day a very elderly lady moved from the back to the other end of our pew. Mother said she

Memories had lost a lot of her hearing, and through necessity had to move closer to the minister. My brother Emerson said she didn’t know how lucky she was, whatever that meant. I hardly knew the old woman, but I was delighted she was close at hand, because now I had something else to occupy my mind. That first Sunday, she was already sitting in her seat by the time we piled in beside her. The seats curved, so I
had no trouble looking over in her direction and giving her a good going over. She was like a little bird: a wren, or maybe a robin. She sat with her hands folded in her lap on top of her opened Bible. Mother nodded in her direction, but the old woman either had no desire to be friendly, or there was something wrong with her eyesight as well.

A nickel for being good Continued from page 9
It looked like someone had just propped her in the seat. In fact, I wondered if that was what had happened, and I wished at once, that we had been there to see her come in. Emerson hissed he thought she may have passed away. Mother poked him on the knee to hush him up. But then she opened her purse to take out a little lacy hanky, and a strong whiff of lavender perfume floated over the pew causing Emerson to raise his hand to his mouth and let out a loud gagging cough. He wasn’t too fond of perfume. But at least it proved the old lady was still alive. Her skin looked like it had been drawn tightly across her face, and there was no doubt about it, she was going to give me plenty to think about during the long service, and I was secretly delighted, I confess, that she had lost her hearing and had to move up to the front of the church. I soon realized the sinfulness of my thoughts, and asked a quick forgiveness from God for harbouring such ideas. I had no idea what the minister was talking about that day. I was too engrossed in the old lady in the seat beside us. It wasn’t long before she started to doze off and yet she never moved a fraction of an inch in the pew. But her eyelids slipped down, fluttered open, and then closed again for good. Her eyes
looked exactly like a chicken’s who had fallen asleep in the hot sun. Almost transparent, with no eyelashes, and white as the driven snow. She flew awake when the organist let out a blast for the last hymn. I must say it startled me too, and for the first time, the old lady looked over at us, and issued what passed for a smile. When the service was over, Mother reached across and extended a hand. Then the old lady opened her purse again, and another whiff of lavender settled around us. She took a nickel out of her purse and handed it to me, and said it was for being so good in church. I was dumbfounded, and Emerson pushed in beside me, but there was no more money in the offing. And then Mother, to my horror, beamed at me after I said my thanks, and told me to go and put it in the offering plate at the front of the church. I couldn’t believe my ears! The old woman was beaming at me, and I knew I had to do what Mother said, and hand over the nickel. A whole nickel! With a heavy heart I went up to the plate and dropped it in. It was the fastest money I had ever earned, and it was the shortest time I had ever had a nickel in my possession! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

For Jonathon’s mom, Tina Boileau, the treatment is scary because it’s unknown, but she hopes it will give Jonathon a new lease on life. “It’s by no means a cure,” she said. “But, hopefully, he will be in less pain and able to walk some.” Boileau said in addition to donating bone marrow, she will donate skin for grafts as well. The hope is that after the transplant, Jonathon’s skin is able to retain some elasticity and regenerate. “He’s very brave and resilient,” Boileau said of Jonathon, adding she will miss her home and her 14-yearold daughter while she’s in
Minneapolis, but the family will keep in touch via Skype, FaceTime and regular visits. “This is very temporary,” she said, adding Jonathon has to stay to make sure the procedure is successful and that his body doesn’t reject the transplants. Right now, Jonathon can’t walk much, attend school or play any sports, but he’s never allowed that to get him down. He said the hardest part of the treatment for him will be being away from his best friend, Gibson, the family’s Boston terrier. Jonathon said he’s taught the dog to use FaceTime so he can see and talk to him while he’s away. Jonathon is set to be in the United States on Aug. 22, and while he’s nervous, he’s

The Wings of Steel campaign kicked off with the release of butterflies at the Falcon Ridge Golf Club on July 22. The imagery was especially poignant given that Jonathon Pitre, known locally as the “butterfly child”, will be heading to Minneapolis in the United States for a potentially life-saving treatment. Jonathon, 16, has a rare disease called dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa – which causes his skin to blister and causes severe pain. The fundraiser was held by Debra Canada – a nationwide charity that offers support to people with EB and raises money to fund research. The treatment, which involves a kind of transplant with stem cells drawn from his mother’s bone marrow, will take up to a year. The fundraiser will help to fund the family’s living expenses while Jonathon receives treatment at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. The provincial government is funding the procedure – but the family will need help with additional medical costs and living expenses. For Jonathon, giving up a year of his life now for the treatment, will hopefully mean more time with his family later. Without the treatment, Jonathon could die before he reaches the age of 20.

get in the ring and be able to have these experiences.’ Then it was going well,” said Lindsay’s coach Simone Williams, who owns Queenswood Stables. She has coached athletes before at the championships and competed herself in dressage at the Pan American Games. Lindsay’s high scores
earned her a spot on the Ontario junior team in the dressage discipline, which is an event in which horse and rider perform a choreographed and memorized routine that demonstrates precision in all directions, communication between the pair, as well as the seamless transition from one intricate movement to
the next, among other finelyhoned skills. “It’s at the elite level. It’s at the top of their age level in North America,” Williams said of the competition. The junior category that Lindsay will compete in will see an estimated 70 riders between the ages of 14 and 18 take to the ring in the quest for a medal.
Lindsay has come a long way in a short time, having only fallen in love with horseback riding six years ago when she was 12 years old. She initially wanted to pursue horse jumping, but after riding a dressage horse, she became hooked on the sport. See HORSE, page 13

Horse-rider pair forge strong connection in the show ring Continued from apge 12
“I rode Gizmo and he was so amazing I just wanted to keep going with it,” Lindsay said of the 18-year-old Hanoverian horse she will be riding south of the border. Their connection is leading to strong showings in the ring. “She is developing a relationship with him and it’s come along very, very well this season,” said Williams, who is now in Colorado coaching Lindsay. “She’s done incredibly well to move up to that level with him, and learn all the little tricks of how he is in the ring. “It’s one thing to train, but another to put what they have learned together and show it off in the competition ring.” For Lindsay, dressage, which is one of three Olympic equestrian sports, provided the kind of challenge she craves. She is a multi-
tasker who likes to keep busy. While competing earlier this year, she was also holding down two jobs – as a restaurant host and at the Queenswood Stables – as well as studying for and writing exams before graduating from Grade 12 at Hillside High School. “I like the mental part of it,” she said of her sport. “You’re always thinking. It’s always one thing after another.” STRATEGY
There is a significant amount of strategy required to perform an intricate dressage routine. She’ll be required to do three different routines, including a freestyle pattern paired with music, if she is successful in advancing at the different levels in Colorado. Though new to this level of competition, Williams
said her student has already shown enormous promise holding her own. “She’s done very well competing with people who have been riding for a much longer period of time,” she said. “Her strengths are that she stays really calm and controlled under a lot pressure.” Her hope for Lindsay when she performs before the judges in Colorado is that she will enjoy competing with her team and representing Canada. “It’s a test, and you do your best,” Williams said. Lindsay has also proven to be every coach’s dream student given her willingness to soak up every lesson and add new skills to her arsenal. Blackburn Hamlet resident Oswaldo Alzzuri has also been coaching Lindsay. “If I tell her one thing, the next time I see a change in it,” Williams said. “For
me, that’s been an amazing.” This is Lindsay’s last year competing in the junior category, but she is already

Record attempt draws attention ahead of pro golf tournament Continued from page 1
The event at the Hylands Golf Club on Alert Road was as much about helping homeless military veterans in Canada as it was about setting a record and playing golf. The world record attempt helped generate atttention for the upcoming National Capital Open professional tournament, Aug. 15 to 21. Funds raised through that will go to the Support Our Troops program. The goal is to generate $100,000 during the tournament, part of the Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada schedule. Some of the best young Canadian and international golfers in the world are scheduled to take part this year. “I think it’s important that we show our support for the cause,” said Col. Richard Goodyear, a Nepean resident and commander of Canadian Forces Support Unit – Ottawa. “The Guinness World Record is a nice thing to try, but the idea behind it is to generate support for Support Our Troops, and to have that support for homeless veterans,” he said. See TOURNEY, page 15

Tourney to support homeless veterans
As the MPP for Ottawa South, I am proud to announce that Ontario is investing in mental health training to support children and youth. This investment represents the importance of providing better care for children and youth with mental health challenges and translates into approximately $550,000 annually in new training for health care providers.
Continued from page 14
Funds will also support Veterans House, where homeless veterans will be able to live once it is built at the former CFB Rockcliffe. Among those taking part in a preview of the tournament was retired lieutenant-general Stu Beare, former Ottawa-based commander of Canadian Forces operations. He is now the patron of Soldiers Helping Soldiers, which sees military personnel volunteer their time to patrol Ottawa streets with partner organizations to connect with homeless vets. “We serve in uniforms, walking the beat, connecting people with people,” said Beare, who patrolled with the group in January. It began three years ago as an experiment that has now involved at least 100 military volunteers and reached more than 280 homeless veterans. “It’s way more than we ever expected,” the Alta Vista resident said. “It’s disturbing and it’s reassuring. It’s disturbing because we didn’t know and it’s reassuring because we’re starting to know.” The tournament will help foster important dollars for those organizations supporting Canada’s homeless vets, “but more importantly it’s public consciousness,” Beare said. “That level of consciousness is priceless because that means you can do something about it. You can mobilize volunteers in uniform or not. You can connect people with people. “You can start getting real about what the real challenge is and what the best methods and partnerships are to help deal with it – all around a game of golf.” YOU CAN HELP
Volunteers are still needed for the golf tournament. And spectators are invited to watch the golfing action at Hylands, located at 2101 Alert Rd. To volunteer, to buy daily or weekly passes and for a complete schedule of play and participants, go to nationalcapitalopen.ca.
Better Support for Youth Mental Health

Capt. Victoria Ryan, left, retired lieutenant-general Stu Beare and Sgt. Roxane Noseworthy are with Soldiers Helping Soldiers, a program through which uniformed personnel patrol Ottawa communities to connect with homeless military veterans and help them access supports. Beare, an Alta Vista resident, says the upcoming National Capital Open will generate important funds in support of Canada’s homeless military veterans.
Ottawa’s #1 chOice fOr mOtOrized shades & windOw cOverings
This project, facilitated by the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), will make great strides to help connect young people with the care they need closer to home. The program will see health care providers participate in regular videoconferencing sessions and in individual mentoring sessions with specialists including psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. Providing better care for children and youth with mental health challenges is part of the government's plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which is providing patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, the information they need to stay healthy and a health care system that's sustainable for generations to come.

Bragging rights at stake at hockey showdown Erin McCracken
Ottawa Light Rail Stage 2 Public Consultations
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Riverside South is preparing to host a showdown unlike any other in its history. Major bragging rights will be on the line at the inaugural Riverside South Lifestyle Four-onFour Road Hockey Showdown. Businesses, families and friends are invited to register teams to take part in the daylong tournament, scheduled for Aug. 13. Co-organizer Josh Bousada became inspired earlier this year when he saw a Barrhaven BIA ball hockey tournament. The Riverside South resident pitched the concept to his friend, Jordan Ayoub, a former Riverside South resident and fellow grad of St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School. “I passed by his desk one day and (Bousada) literally goes, ‘What do you think of doing a ball hockey tournament?’” Ayoub recalled. “I’m like, ‘How big do you want to do this?’” Given their passion for ice and road hockey, coupled with Bousada’s business know-how and Ayoub’s experience in hockey as a referee, coach and at the administrative level, they are optimistic the community will rally behind the event. “We hope we have great success this year,” said Ayoub, an Upper Hunt Club resident and University of Ottawa student. “We think it’s something that will greatly add to (the neighbourhood),” said Bousada, who is studying commerce
As part of the LRT Stage 2 project – which extends the O-Train Confederation Line east and west, and Trillium Line farther south – the City of Ottawa has undertaken a Stage 2 Station Connectivity Study to ensure that community connections are preserved and enhanced along the expanded O-Train system. You’re invited to give us your feedback on the study at a public consultation at the Rideauview Community Centre located at 4310 Shoreline Drive on August 30th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The public consultation will include recommendations for connectivity planning and design based on existing City plans and context, and a moderated break-out session to get input from the community on these recommendations. For more information please contact stage2@ottawa.ca. MPAC Property Assessments

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun.

The 19 year olds fell in love with hockey at an early age. Both are avid players on the ice, and are equally enthusiastic about ball hockey. “That’s definitely the game of the street,” said Ayoub. “You re-

That’s what we live for – eat, sleep, play hockey.” Now they want to take the game from the street to the new all-seasons rink at Riverside South’s Boothfield Park, located at 660 Boothfield St., not far from St. FX. See CHALLENGE, page 18

Homeowners in urban or suburban Ottawa have been receiving property assessment notices from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Here are some important facts about that assessment. Assessments are issued every four years by MPAC, an independent, not-for-profit corporation, funded by all Ontario municipalities. The average residential property assessment in Ottawa has increased an average of 3.45 per cent in this most recent four-year cycle. Province-wide, the average is 18 per cent. The average for Eastern Ontario is 5 per cent. Assessment increases are phased in over each four-year period. If you don’t agree with the new property assessment notice you receive, you have until November 18th to file a Request for Reconsideration. The Request for Reconsideration is done through MPAC, not through the City or Province. For more information about your assessment, contact www.mpac.ca.

Challenge issued to city councillors and Findlay Creekers to enter teams Continued from page 17
The tournament also has the backing of the Riverside South Community Association, and Scott Thiel, the organization’s president, said it was a no-brainer to support the pair’s pitch, which included a detailed business plan. “I think this tournament could be the first of many,” said Thiel. “For me it’s community building, getting people out and getting them excited to be here and drawing people to the community as well.” The event has also garnered strong support from Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who said the upcoming ball hockey showdown will offer an exciting draw for players and spectators alike. “The more people we can have crowded around this rink during that road hockey tour-
nament, people will have interest next year,” said Qaqish. qaqish accepts
The gauntlet has officially been thrown down. Organizers have issued a challenge to their local councillor to also enter a team. “I can see what I can do,” Qaqish said when he recently met with Thiel and the organizers at the rink. “We have a few athletic councillors – now that the challenge has been presented.” Organizers are now also looking to their neighbours to participate. “Since we’re at it, we may as well challenge Findlay Creek,” said Thiel. “If they want to put a team together they are more than welcome to come out here and prove their mettle. “We know they’ve had a four-season rink much longer
than we have, so their road hockey skills ought to be finely tuned,” he quipped. The tournament is set for Aug. 13, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Registration is $50 per team, with all proceeds donated back to the Riverside South Community Association. There will be three age categories, including a young guns’ division for 10 to 13 year olds, a veterans’ division for 14 to 17 year olds and an old timers’ division for ages 18 and up.

Ottawa artists embrace colouring book trend Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
How colourful is Ottawa? It’s all in the eye of the beholder. Or in this case, the holder of the pencil crayons. Ottawa artists have compiled drawings of Ottawa scenes and monuments to create the Ottawa in Colour colouring book. In total, 22 artists created 32 different pictures that depict familiar scenes for many Ottawa residents, from the view of the Rideau Canal to a couple strolling past Dunn’s on Elgin Street. Nepean’s Jason Cobill said he was discussing how to raise money for local arts while standing in a book store’s colouring book section. “There was an explosion in my head,” said Cobill, who
launched on June 25 and there have already been more than 700 copies sold. They’ve officially broke even on the sales, and proceeds from the $20 book will be donated to various arts organizations in the city, Cobill said. People have reacted well to the innovative book, usually recognizing a scene from their own day-to-day life in the collection. “So many people are really intrigued to see their own neighbourhood represented,” Cobill said. Photographer Vincent Kember decided to amp up a scene he’s seen many times – the Place d’Orléans shopping centre where bus routes connect.
quickly started to contact friends to see who would be interested in contributing a drawing. He bounced the idea off University of Ottawa coworker Maxime GauthierKwan, an east Ottawa resident who grew up in Orléans. “We actually work side-byside,” Gauthier-Kwan said. “And we always throw these crazy ideas at each other.” Two months later, the book full of different Ottawa images was heading to press after Cobill and GauthierKwan quickly got the book together. The project received a $1,000 grant from Awesome Ottawa to include more artists in the book – every artist who participated was paid for their art. The book was formally

Colouring book artists considering future second edition Continued from page 19
“I had almost 20 years of seeing it every day,” he said. “I had to make it look more interesting. If I drew it the way you see it, it would be more spread out.” He superimposed different parts of the shopping centre into one image and took out things that would block the distinct roof to
create the drawing. Artist Dan Asencio, from Westboro, drew a scene from nearby Hintonburg that also depicts a Bridgehead. His drawing is distinctly different from that of Cobill and Kember, as the former New York City resident applied a more comic and psychedelic look to his work. It’s interesting for artists to have someone else come
in and finish a piece of art, Asencio said.

He said he’s hard on himself, as most artists are, and having someone come in and
“I was over the moon when I saw someone had (coloured in) one of my
drawings,” Cobill said. There’s a little something for everyone from all over the city’s core in the book. There are scenes of the classic Ottawa sightseeing stops, such as Parliament Hill, and more abstract Ottawa themed pages. The family of the late Mathieu Trudel contributed a drawing the artist did of Vanier for the colouring
book before he passed away. Each of the pages depicts a different scene, and a different artist’s style. Cobill said the response has been so strong, they are considering a second edition of the book.

Findlay Creek Community Fun Day coming Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Diamond Jubilee Park in Findlay Creek will be transformed into a celebration hub once again for the annual Community Fun Day BBQ on Aug. 1. Every year the event draws more and more people in keeping with the growth the community is experiencing, with new homes being built there every day. The 2015 celebration attracted more than 1,000 people of all ages to the park. “It’s great,” said Meagan Côté, president of the Findlay Creek Community Association, adding that residents from the neighbouring Riverside South and Leitrim communities are also welcome to attend. “There is something for everyone,” she said. “(It will be) a couple of hours of good, community fun.” The highlights, which take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will include several returning features as well as a few new and expanded activities. There will be bouncy castles for big and young kids, Big Sky Ranch’s petting zoo where kids and grown-ups can feed the critters, horse-drawn wagon rides, face painting, an obstacle course and pony rides. As well, free freezies will be distributed by Tamarack Homes. Batting cages will also be back. “We tried it out last year and it was really popular because you have to have something for all ages,” Côté said. Emerald Links Golf and Country Club staff will be on hand to provide a golfing demonstration. And the South Nation Conservation Authority and the Pet Shoppe will have displays and information tables. A henna artist will be coming, and Aesthetica Full Service Spa will be providing minimanicures. “As always we’ll have the barbecue going, which is free for members,” Côté said. The Community Fun Day is expected to grow in the coming years in keeping with the booming population in Ottawa’s south-end community. “Every day new houses are going up, and the population is steadily growing,” Côté said, adding that Findlay Creek is currently made up of almost
3,000 homes. “And we’re slated to get about a thousand more homes in the next couple of years.” Members of the community association will also be able to enjoy the Fun Day activities at no additional cost. Memberships will be available the day of the event at a cost of $25 per year per household. Annual membership also allows residents to enjoy discounts at local businesses and other events through the year, including Breakfast with Santa. Non-members who come to the Community Fun Day can purchase tickets to enjoy the activities at a cost of $1 per ticket. A hamburger and drink will be available for $4 and a hotdog and drink will cost $3. Volunteers, including high school students, are welcome to pitch in the day of the event. Email president@findlaycreek. ca for details, or show up the day of the celebration and speak with organizers who will be wearing yellow T-shirts. Diamond Jubilee Park is located at 2810 Findlay Creek Dr.
City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière LRT Walkley Station Connectivity Meeting As part of the LRT Stage 2 project which will extend the Trillium Line further south , the City of Ottawa has undertaken a Stage 2 Station Connectivity Study to ensure that community connections are preserved or enhanced along the Trillium Line and at all stations. The study outlines a series of mobility enhancements, including bicycle facilities, multi-use pathways and crosswalks. Through public consultation, the City will obtain feedback on how connections around the LRT stations can be improved. When Phase 2 of the LRT extends south, a new station will open at Walkley Road. The City of Ottawa will be hosting a public session on August 17, 2016 at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre, 1265 Walkley Road. In addition to Walkley Station, the session will also examine Greenboro and South Keys stations in this review. The consultations will include a presentation, open house with display boards and a breakout session. Autumn Registration for Recreational Programs
Meagan Côté/Submitted
The 2015 Findlay Creek Community Fun Day drew more than 1,000 people to Diamond Jubilee Park for a day of celebration. This year the community association and supporting sponsors have several activities planned for Aug. 1, such as horse-drawn wagon rides, bouncy castles, henna art and a barbecue.

Good Luck Ottawa Lions Club Olympians The Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club, based out of the Terry Fox Athletic Centre at Mooney’s Bay will be sending a number of its members to the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Best wishes are sent to Melissa Bishop, Tim Nedow, Farah Jacques, Segun Makinde and Sekou Kaba as they represent Canada. The Lions will likely add up to 6 participants in the Paralympics, with River Ward resident Rachael Burrows amongst this group. Last but not least, Ottawa Lions coach (and 1996 Atlanta Olympics gold medal winner) Glenroy Gilbert will be one of the Team Canada coaches in Rio. Importance of Neighbourhood Watch Programs Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours. It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperation between area residents and the police and more importantly, between residents themselves. The Neighbourhood Watch Program encourages participation in crime prevention. As part of the program, you can learn: how to recognize and report suspicious activity in your neighbourhood, how to make your home less inviting as a target for thieves, and how to participate in Operation Identification, an engraving program for your valuables. To find out if Neighbourhood Watch exists in your area or to start a program, please contact my office.

School boards applaud $84M funding boost for upgrades, repairs NEWS

Repaired roofs, modernized plumbing and mechanical systems and updated playing fields, flooring, walls, ceilings and HVAC units are coming to schools in four boards across Ottawa and eastern Ontario thanks to an $84-million funding boost from the province. “I remember when this school was built,” Ottawa South MPP John Fraser said during the funding announcement held July 21 at St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in Alta Vista. “I remember when this school was Charlebois, and it shows when a school is maintained,” the Alta Vista resident said, flanked by Ontario’s Infrastructure Minister and OttawaWest Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde. “These investments that we’re making are critical to keeping those learning places effective for the students that we serve,” Fraser said during the event, which saw representatives from all four boards come together for the first time. The largest cheque will be go-

All four of Ottawa’s school boards are applauding an $84-million boost from the provincial government for school repairs and maintenance work. Taking part in the July 21 announcement at St. Patrick’s Catholic High School were Ottawa-Orléans MPP MarieFrance Lalonde, left, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, Ontario Infrastructure Minister and Ottawa-West Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi. ing to the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to the tune of a $55-million increase for a total of $133 million. The Ottawa Catholic School Board will receive an extra $17 million for a total of $45 million. The French Catholic board will see $21 million thanks to a $7-million boost, and the
French public school board is getting an extra $5 million, bringing its share to $13 million. “It’s extremely helpful, particularly since in September we’re going to be starting some major learning and accommodation reviews across the district,” said Shirley Seward, trustee board chair with the Ottawa-Carleton
District School Board. Those reviews will identify and address schools with low student populations, help increase populations and possibly result in school amalgamations and perhaps the creation of new schools, she said. “But what is critical to this process is that the schools that
The English public board is dealing with an approximately $600-million deficit in its school maintenance and upgrading budget. “That doesn’t mean our schools are not safe, but it does mean they are not at the highest standards that we expect our schools to be at,” Seward said. A number of elementary schools in Seward’s River zone have received improvements, she said, but other schools, such as Brookfield High School, need attention. “Some schools have been waiting a number of years for non-critical repairs and maintenance that have to be done,” she said. The funding increase, which will roll out over the next two years, is in response to recommendations made last year by Ontario’s auditor general, said Fraser. One such recommendation advocated that school renewal funding envelopes be
increased to 2.5 per cent of a school’s replacement value. “You can imagine as a parent, I want only one thing,” said Naqvi, a father of two, including a four-year-old boy who will go to school for the first time this autumn. “I want the best education for my child as he starts school and I want him to be safe. And that feeling is not just unique to me and my wife. It’s true for every single parent.” Providing a “friendly, warm environment” leads to enormous gains for students, said Elaine McMahon, chair of the Ottawa Catholic School Board. St. Pat’s High alone saw $1.4 million spent on renovating food services and specialty classrooms, revamping washrooms, renovating administrative offices as well as new ceiling tiles and lighting. “It’s extremely important that when you walk into a building you feel like it’s home, and that you take pride in that building,” said McMahon. “And as soon as you have that sense of pride and a sense of commitment to the building and to the school, learning begins. “I can only say, keep it coming,” McMahon said, prompting laughter.

Tips For A Happy And Healthy Indoor Kitty Even though cats may love to have the freedom of running around outside, so too would dogs whose freedom we strictly control. In fact, small children would relish the opportunity to roam freely all day, with little or no regard for their safety. In today’s world this freedom is just not possible. Cats crave familiarity, structure and routine, which is exactly what an indoor life has to offer, with the added bonus of safety from all the dangers that await them outside! By ensuring your cat has the necessary home environment, proper diet, enrichment items, and interactive play, your cat can live a long and happy life indoors. Whether your cat is already a strictly indoor cat or a newly transitioned one, you will want to ensure your home has all the items your cat requires to keep her
feeling safe and mentally stimulated. This includes: 1. A refuge room where your cat can go to feel safe during times of anxiety (loud noises, unfamiliar visitors, construction, etc.) 2. Places to climb and perch on, such as a cat tree or a window perch 3. An appropriate scratch post 4. Solo toys that can keep kitty entertained on her own, such as toy mice, ping pong balls and even paper bags 5. A litter box that is kept well cleaned, as cats have meticulous litter box preferences 6. Interactive toys, such as cat wands, that can be used by you during play time with your pet Learn more great pet tips at www.ottawahumane.ca/ your-pet. Pet of the Week: Herbie (ID# A189648) Meet Herbie, a friendly and playful cat looking for his purr-fect match. Herbie is an energetic boy who loves any toy that he can chase around or pounce on. He’s a chatty cat that enjoys telling you all about his day. He’d prefer a quiet home with older children or adults. Are you the one Herbie has been waiting for? For more information on Herbie and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Smoke and flames that broke out in the kitchen of a high-rise apartment building in the Sheffield
Glen neighbourhood of Alta Vista forced out one tenant and caused an estimated $100,000 in damages. Ottawa fire crews were deployed to 2450 Southvale Cr. on July 20 a few minutes after 9 p.m. after a 911 caller reported smoke in a hallway on the 10th floor. A working fire was de-
clared once on scene, and within a matter of minutes the flames had been knocked down, according to a fire dispatch report. No one was injured in the incident. The occupant of the unit is now staying with family. The exact cause of the fire was not immediately known.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s 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!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may feel a bit disconnected from your feelings this week. It’s alright to pull back for a time and get things straight in your head. Things will soon return to the status quo. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take constructive criticism in stride this week. Criticism can sometimes sting, but this critique is meant to assist you in the long run. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, this week you are acutely aware of a strong emotional bond between yourself and someone who is off-limits. You may need to rein in your feelings and keep things friendly. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Holding on to a bunch of material belongings simply because they bring you comfort may bog you down with unnecessary stuff, Cancer. Start cleaning up. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, things that you say or do this week may seem like they are scripted out of a movie. Rather than putting on an act, let others know how you truly feel. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you open yourself up to change, you may find that there are plenty of additional opportunities coming your way. Be receptive to new ideas this week.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your natural ability to interact gracefully with others will serve you well in many different applications. This is especially helpful in a managerial capacity. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week your loved ones will chip in and take the burden off of you in some way. Make sure they know how much you appreciate them. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, let your emotions guide you in the week ahead. While it’s important to apply critical thinking to big decisions, this week you will benefit from an emotional approach. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It can be difficult to separate work life from home life, Capricorn. But that’s just what you have to do in the days ahead. Otherwise, neither will get your full attention. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You may be eager to learn more about someone this week, even if this person is not in your immediate circle of friends, Aquarius. Explore the possibilities that lie ahead. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sticking to a firm schedule might be nearly impossible in the next few days. Make things a bit more fluid so you have some wiggle room. 0728
