Treatment centre gets funding boost Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - GrifďŹ n Walker was just six months old when his parents, Dan and Jennifer, began navigating what continues to be a complex path to meet the special needs that come with being diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The bulk of the 10-yearold boy’s care has been provided by the Ottawa
Children’s Treatment Centre, which celebrated an announcement last week that it will be one of 21 children’s treatment centres across the province on the receiving end of an additional $5 million to tackle wait lists and allow more children to access physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speechlanguage therapy.

News - The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit are turning to the public for help in identifying two persons of interest and two vehicles possibly connected to an early morning shooting last month at a Hunt Club housing complex. Police released three images of two males wearing sweatshirts, dark pants and sneakers walking along a street. The grainy, black and white images, made public on Aug. 29, show one man with shoulder-length hair that covers much of his face as he looks down. The other man’s face is somewhat obscured by the hood of his sweatshirt. Two additional images depict two vehicles – a Mazda Tribute and a Chevrolet Cobalt coupe with a spoiler – stopped side by side. The images were captured on video surveillance tape at the Quarry co-operative housing neighbourhood at 3275 McCarthy Rd. near Paul Anka Drive, where several residents woke to the jarring sound of gun shots around 6 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17. Five bullets ripped through three
homes – two units had sleeping occupants inside, while the third was vacant. No one was injured or killed in what the head of the police guns and gangs unit say was a targeted attack. “We have five spent casings and one that’s not spent – it’s still live,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden told The News in the days following the shooting. “But they’re all 9mm.” Of the three homes that were hit, police are still working on the theory that the shooter intentionally fired at the unit where a mother and her young child were sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. “That was, we believe, the intended target, that residence, but not necessarily those occupants,” Bryden said at the time. Since then, investigators have been fleshing out their theory the shooter was targeting the previous tenants. “Whoever pulled that trigger was looking for a certain person or a group of people,” Bryden said. “That’s the neighbourhood where the intended victims were supposed to be.” See COUPLE, page 4
Investment will allow 500 more kids a year to access services Continued from page 1
In addition to providing that funding, the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services is also contributing an additional one-time investment of $1.25 million to the centres. Tears well up in Jennifer’s eyes when she thinks of families in a similar position as hers, but who may be just beginning their journey in trying to access supports for their children. “There are some families who are in trouble, that have a hard time, that don’t have the kind of support that we have managed to build up over 10 years,” Griffin’s mom, Jennifer, said. “We are at the peak of what’s available and there are many other families that do not have it like we do and they struggle a lot more than we do. “That’s tricky, and this is tricky enough,” the Faircrest Heights resident said. The Ottawa centre will receive a $400,000 cut of the $5-million pot, and about $62,500 of the $1.2-million contribution. Tracy MacCharles, minister of children and youth services, said during the announcement on Aug. 27 she has heard repeatedly from families that wait lists for services remain an obstacle, and there’s more the provincial government can do. “I know it’s a huge source of stress and frustration for families. That’s why this $5-million investment will hopefully – and I think it will – significantly reduce wait times for services and increase the number of young people who receive this very important support,” she said via live webcast from Sudbury, which was broadcast inside the Ottawa centre, located on Smyth Road, before a large crowd. The money will allow 2,000 more
children throughout the province to access the specialized supports they need across all of the centres. Ottawa’s centre serves more than 3,700 kids each year, including Griffin, at five sites from south Ottawa and Kanata to Renfrew and Cornwall. The investment will help an estimated 500 more infants, children and youth each year circumnavigate long waits for core services, which range from three to six months. Access to some specialized treatments and therapies as well as to diagnostic services from physicians and psychologists can take between eight months and a year. “But you can imagine if you’ve got a very young child that’s been identified as needing therapy, that’s a long time,” said Anne Huot, the Ottawa centre’s director of client programs and information. “The longer you have to wait with a little one … it’s not ideal.” After turning to the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre when their son was a baby, the Walkers connected with a social worker, therapists and a funding resource worker. While their hurdles in navigating such a complex system are fewer almost 10 years later, the couple feels better with last week’s funding announcement because it means improved quality of life for many. The Walkers are currently waiting for their son’s new wheelchair, a custom-made device that needs to be updated as Griffin grows and his health changes. Acquiring the new chair is an eight-month wait, and the provincial funding will help reduce delays for this service, Jennifer said. Waiting is stressful for parents who have recently learned their child has special needs and who don’t have anywhere else to turn, said Barbara

Juett, a social worker at the Ottawa centre. Social work at the centre is one of the first services families rely on to connect to other supports as well as work through the feelings and emotions they are experiencing. “So being able to have access in a quick way relieves a lot of the stress for the parents,” Juett said. “It’s all very scary. It’s a path that you’re not familiar with, and nobody else you know is going through it so we want to make sure parents connect with other parents too.” Griffin’s parents remember all too well the overwhelming process when they first brought Griffin to the centre when he was a baby. “Griffin is our first child and we didn’t know any different, and all of a sudden there’s something significantly wrong,” Jennifer said. “It’s very isolating,” added Dan, Griffin’s father. “All you can think about is what’s wrong.”

Couple woken up by sound of gunfire Continued from page 2
Street-gang members and their associates are known to reside or hang out in the neighbourhoods around Hunt Club Road, Paul Anka Drive and McCarthy Road. Dave Brown and his wife Carol were sleeping upstairs when bullets shot through the attached vacant house and into their bedroom where they were sleeping.

“I certainly get really into when I’m playing, and, in fact, some people have told me it’s like I’m 20 years older when I’m performing on stage,” said Scharf, who first played a Yamaha keyboard at age two, picked up a guitar for the first time at age nine and began performing for the public when he was just 13. “It’s my demeanor, my poise and my attitude up there.” The outdoor musical extravaganza kicks off Sept. 10 and will feature free and paid programming of almost 70 acts over the course of five days on several stages, including Lorde, Serena Ryder, Blues Traveler, Foster the People, Joss Stone, We are Monroe and children’s entertainers The Wiggles, among others. Scharf will perform a free onehour set at the Craft Beer House stage on Sept. 14 at 5 p.m., but earlier that day at 1 p.m. he will join children’s entertainer Fred Penner in a Pete Seeger tribute show on the Slackwater stage. Audiences can expect to see Scharf to perform on numerous instruments, including several guitars – an electric, as well as 12, eight and six strings, a slide and a bass – and a ukulele, banjo, mandolin, harmonica and the keyboard. Many of these are featured on his third and brand new CD, I Can’t Hide, which features blues, bluegrass and pop. As well as being a one-man band, Scharf, who is studying music performance at Carleton University, is known for his ability to play by ear
and for have perfect pitch. He first played Bluesfest when he was 16. Performing for the public is an experience that keeps Scharf pushing himself musically. “I feel great because the audience is enjoying it, I’m enjoying it,” he said of the experience. “It’s a lot of fun and it’s also fun to be diverse in terms of my song selection.” While offering a diverse range of music to appeal to a variety of tastes at the Ottawa Folk Festival is important, part of the event`s mandate is to offer outstanding folk music and support the local music scene. Of the local performers, including Scarf, that are booked to play, organizers were drawn to their talents as artists rather than to their hometown addresses. “We booked Spencer Scharf not because he’s an Ottawa guy or a local band – and it’s the same as other local acts – we book them on the merits of their talent, and they happen to be local and that’s just great,” said festival spokesman A.J. Sauve. Scharf first came on the radar when he took part in the Ottawa Bluesfest’s inaugural Be in the Band program, through which aspiring musicians

Folk music remains a highlight of the festival, though the Ottawa Bluesfest team has worked hard since taking over the event in 2011 to expand the genres offered. As a result, the Folk Fest has grown, attracting 20,000 in 2011, about 30,000 in 2012 and approximately 50,000 last year. “It’s very good thing for a folk festival,” Sauve said. “The programming is what spoke to people.” Organizers are already forecasting an even bigger crowd during the musical showcase which launches in a matter of days. “This year we’re already ahead of last year’s (advance ticket) sales by 20 per cent,” said Sauve. “So we’re forecasting an even better crowd.” The Ottawa Folk Festival takes place at Hog’s Back Park, located at 601 Hog’s Back Rd.

Let ALS have its moment in the sun
I
f you have any presence on social media, you’ll know people across the world have been dumping buckets of ice water over their heads. Automatic video streaming on Facebook has made it nearly impossible to miss a glimpse of people’s selďŹ e videos, as they use everything from truck beds to coolers to salad bowls to store the iciest water they can ďŹ nd, and then pour it over themselves. The point is to experience a moment of freezing, lightly mimicking the paralyzing symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is designed to raise awareness and money for a rare and once little known disease. Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It attacks the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, eventually causing many patients to become paralyzed before it eventually kills them. The idea behind the fundraising campaign – which went viral in August – is to dump the ice water and donate money to ALS organizations and then challenge others to do the same. Sounds great, right? For some reason, however, the campaign has found critics ranging from magazine writers to movie stars. They accuse participants of vanity and “slacktivism,â€? the latter
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse because the ice bucket dumping can be done in lieu of a donation. Maclean’s magazine published a scathing article describing people’s participation in the campaign as misguided. Guest contributor Scott Gilmore argued people should donate money where need is greatest, where their dollars will have the greatest inuence and where there is an urgent problem. He goes onto point out that ALS is already overfunded, in his opinion, given that it only killed slightly more than 6,000 people in the United States last year. But Gilmore’s arguments are rooted in irrelevancy. First, the idea that we donate money only where need is greatest would leave many Canadian-based charities – hospitals, homeless shelters, educational institutions – without any legitimacy as fundraisers, given they all

their creative talents in DIY video production? The challenge has made people care, for just a minute, about a disease they’ve possibly never heard of and one they may never consider again. For whatever reason – vanity, interest, the desire to be part of a community – people have chosen to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. As far as I can tell, it’s a win-win. Individuals get their 15 minutes of fame and a rare disease gets to have its time in the spotlight. It’s also a great case study for those looking for creative ways to draw dollars to their own charitable organizations. The campaign has raised more than $100 million for the ALS Association in the U.S in the summer months, up from $2.8 million over the same period last year. It’s unlikely the various organizations that conduct research and provide services for families affected by ALS will have an opportunity to receive like this again. By viewing ALS research as unworthy, wishing charity dollars could be diverted elsewhere, and accusing people of slacktivism, it would seem only real slackers are the critics. Instead of capitalizing on the inspiration of this campaign (as have some creative charitable organizations), they are content to act as armchair commentators. Why not get out there and come up with your own brilliant fundraising schemes? Until then, let ALS have its moment in the sun.
fall under the category of wealthy, First World institutions when compared with those in the developing world. Second, the idea that funding for medical research be based on dollar per death makes no sense. It may be the case, for example, that because ALS is so rare and there are few treatments, it requires more extensive funding than, say, cancer or heart disease. Finally, Gilmore’s argument against donating to ALS is premised on the notion that people are donating to research for this disease at the expense of other charities – say, ebola outreach efforts in Africa – which is not necessarily the case. Many people are donating – or by doing the challenge without donating, creating awareness – in ways that they have rarely done before. In other words, they’re not sacriďŹ cing their church tithes or their hurricane relief donations in order to give ALS organizations a boost. People donate when they feel engaged. The ice bucket challenge has captured the attention and imagination of hundreds of thousands of people. Who cares if it’s largely a vanity exercise, or an opportunity for people to showcase

Keep going wild for charity
A
llowing yourself to be drenched by a bucket of ice-cold water might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of something to pass the time. Yet like those who strip down to their bathing suits to take the frigid polar bear plunge on New Year’s Day every year, there is something more than lunacy behind the Ice Bucket Challenge craze that’s sweeping the globe. In fact, a day doesn’t go by without some notable Ottawa resident or worldwide superstar of the screen, stage or sporting field sitting in front of a camera, recording their moment of bravery to raise money to support amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research. So far, thanks to both the well-publicized antics of celebrities or the more humble courage of lessfamous individuals, more than $100 million has been raised for ALS – better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease – research worldwide in the month of August. That’s an impressive number that includes $10 million donated to the ALS Society of Canada alone. The results of the campaign are startling. Ac-
cording to the ALS Association, a mere $2.8 million was raised during the same period last year. That’s a huge difference, one that can be attributed to the Ice Bucket Challenge. This begs the question of why fundraisers from other organizations, particularly those connected to diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis or diabetes, don’t put their heads together to come up with similarly bizarre challenges to raise money. If people can return year after year to take the polar bear plunge or grow a moustache for Movember, often backed by charitable pledges, surely some sort of strange challenge or feat would attract potential donors to pony up for a thrill and spectacle similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge. Yes, there are runs, hikes, bicycle tours and swims to raise money for one cause or another, but nothing that has caught the collective imagination like a brief, icy bath. The people involved with ALS have thrown down a fundraising challenge. It will be exciting to see what those who accept it can dream up.

Getting angry about cable – it’s a Canadian thing
I
f you’ve been around this country for a while, you’ll know what really bothers Canadians, what really gets them angry, what inspires them to write letters to their MP and nasty words in the comment sections on the Internet. Hint: It’s not the Middle East. It’s not homelessness. It’s not the constitution. If you guessed cable TV, you win the Snickers bar. It appears to drive us crazy. A few years ago when the cable companies introduced negative option billing, you would have thought World War III had broken out. That gigantic public uproar disappeared after the cable companies backed down, but there is always a new uproar waiting to happen. A medium-sized uproar emerges

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town every January when the Super Bowl game is approaching. There are loud complaints that we can’t see American commercials on our Canadian TV sets. Canadian broadcasters are allowed to cut them out and insert their own commercials. People really hate that. If you want a definition of the term “First World problem,� you probably couldn’t do any better that.

and Canadians are constantly beseeching it to do one thing or another. We want more of this. We want less of that. We can’t understand why the cable companies can’t give us more of this and less of that. If you find this tiresome, there is bad news. The whole debate is starting up again. This comes out of the release of a document by the CRTC discussing possible changes to the way things are done. The so-called pick-and-pay system is one of the options that will come up in hearings next month. That will raise the whole question again of whether we should pay for channels we don’t watch, and whether we can add new channels without being forced to purchase additional channels.

I suppose it’s not an unimportant issue. The cable industry, along with some smaller channel operators, argues the current bundling method is necessary to the survival of channels that serve smaller audiences. Some of us love those little channels. Since the CRTC has a mandate to ensure a certain amount of Canadian content, that argument makes a certain amount of sense. It would make more sense if most of the specialty channels didn’t resort to seeking an audience by abandoning their specialty in favour of old sitcoms, horror movies, rom-coms or reality shows. To compound the problem is the fact many Canadians think, in these matters, more like consumers than citizens. The public good is nice, but it doesn’t get you the Golf Channel. Nagging away in the background is the idea that TV as we know it will be obsolete in a few years and the CRTC will have to deal with that too. EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Binge Drinking: A Major Worry for Many Parents. Heading off to college or university is a life changing experience for both the student and the parent. You try to prepare them for all situations, however, you know that during those first few weeks, your son or daughter will be introduced to new challenges which can include pressure to party hard and drink lots of alcohol. It is well known that alcohol abuse is common on college/university campuses. Over 52 thousand, 19 to 24 year olds report binge drinking at least once every month. This behaviour likely contributed to the 780 alcohol related emergency room visits by 18 to 25 year olds in Ottawa. Excessive alcohol use can lead to alcohol poisoning, addiction, injuries, risky behaviour including drunk driving, unintended sex and even violence. A few drinks isn’t usually a problem, it’s the harms associated with drinking a lot of alcohol in a short time that can be quite serious, if not deadly. As a parent, you may be asking yourself why this happens. Unfortunately many students believe that binge drinking and drinking games are a normal part of the campus socializing experience. Although many young adults who are entering into college/university life may have had prior alcohol experience, they often over-estimate how much alcohol and how often their friends are really drinking; believing five to 10 drinks, three to four times a week to be the norm. The reality is that the majority of students drink far less alcohol and less often. This misperception of what constitutes an average drink is what reinforces binge drinking behaviour. Combine this misperception with positive pressure to drink, and your son or daughter may end up drinking much more than they are used to.
really will hear your advice, keep talking. Believe it or not, what you say does influence their behaviour. Try to keep the conversation going, letting them know you care and want to help.
Top 10 tips for safer Drinking 1. Going to a party; set your limit before you leave 2. Pace yourself when drinking 3. Alternate with beverages that are non-alcoholic; mocktails are great alternatives 4. Hold a glass of any kind in your hand; others won’t bug you to get another drink 5. Don’t mix the type of alcohol you drink 6. Pour your own drink; helps you track how much you are having 7. Don’t get sucked into drinking games; no one wins 8. Never leave your drink unattended 9. Stay with the same group of friends 10. Arrange a safe return home ahead of time. Intoxicated walking isn’t a safe choice

Bomb squad investigates suspicious package at FedEx building Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - The police bomb squad investigated a suspicious package at the FedEx building near the Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport last week. Ottawa patrol officers responded to 130 Thad Johnston Pvt. on Aug. 29 at 10:33 a.m. FedEx employees were evacuated and the street was closed for more than two hours until the police chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives unit – also known as the bomb squad – gave the all-clear. “The package was deemed safe and not a threat and has been dealt with and they’ve re-entered the building,” police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit said following the incident which wrapped up around
12:48 p.m. “The package seemed suspicious from what it contained through handling it, so as that progressed … it was deemed (by FedEx staff), ‘Ok, we’ll step aside because we don’t know what it is and we (need to) let the investigators take care of it,’” said Benoit. “So police were called.” Benoit did not know whether the package was being shipped to someone or if it was in a box or suitcase. Neighbouring buildings, such as First Air, did not have to be evacuated. “If they would have (required) more measures of safety then they would have made bigger arrangements for other buildings to be evacuated,” said Benoit. The incident was the second time in about a month that emergency responders were
called to the FedEx site. The Ottawa fire department’s hazardous materials response unit was called there on July 28 after a customs worker’s eyes came into contact with an unknown powder – the second call to that building in about a month. During that incident on July 28 the Ottawa fire department’s hazardous materials response unit was called to the FedEx building after a customs worker’s eyes came into contact with an unknown powder. The substance, which was in a package, was later determined to be non-hazardous.

News - Ottawa police have ruled out foul play in connection with the death of a woman whose body was recovered from the Rideau River in south Ottawa last week. Major crime investigators began leading the investigation and were initially treating the death as suspicious after a passerby walking in the area discovered the completely unclothed remains of a 31-year-old woman on Aug. 26 around 10:48 a.m. The police marine, dive and trails unit was called in for the recovery in the waters off the Rideau River Eastern Pathway in the park, just south of the O-Train bridge, and across from Carleton University.

The announcement that foul play was no longer suspected came following the results of a post-mortem examination on Aug. 27 that was conducted to determine the cause of death. Police went back to the site to scour the area for evidence on Aug. 27. The 90-metre section of pathway was cordoned with police tape blocking access to cyclists and pedestrians after officers were initially called to the scene. Police directed several pedestrians and cyclists to detour around the area. Several marked and unmarked police cruisers remained at the scene for several hours, and paramedics were at the site as a precaution, said Const. Chuck Benoit, police spokesman. The woman’s identity will not be released by police.

Tenants test council candidates on housing woes Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND
Herongate resident Mavis Finnamore was among several tenants who asked council candidates what measures they would take to improve living conditions in rental properties managed by neglectful landlords. Four candidates from Alta Vista and Gloucester-Southgate wards participated in the Aug. 28 forum at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre. they’re overloaded,” she said during the Aug. 28 questionand-answer forum at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre on Walkley Road where members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, aired their

News - Bed bugs and cockroaches are just two problems tenants of rental properties in south Ottawa are fed up with, but negligent landlords top their list of complaints when it comes to their living conditions. For that reason, more than two dozen tenants last week tested council candidates, vying to represent Alta Vista and Gloucester-Southgate, on their proposed strategies to improve housing conditions. Herongate is still recovering from past neglectful landlords, said longtime Herongate resident and renter Mavis Finnamore, who wants better enforcement of bylaws to hold property owners accountable. “It has actually been difficult in some cases to get bylaw officers out to look at your place,” said Finnamore, who has accompanied bylaw enforcement officers during property inspections. “I want them to hire more bylaw officers because I know

concerns. The members, many of whom are living in rental properties, say landlords across Ottawa are discriminating against low-income families in refusing to provide them with a safe and healthy place to stay in ex-
change for rent. Posters lined the walls demanding healthy homes and depicted pictures of dead rodents and substandard living conditions. ACORN members are lobbying for stricter bylaws to cap wait times in order to speed up repairs to urgent housing issues. They also want negligent landlords to be slapped with expensive fines. When asked whether the candidates, if elected to council, would spend money to hire more bylaw officers, Clinton Cowan said he would get behind the creation of a team of property standards specialists to accompany bylaw officers to help make infractions and fines stick. In addition to implementing stiffer monetary fines, the Alta Vista candidate said he also wants to see quicker turnarounds to ensure housing issues are resolved more quickly. “If you’ve ever been in a home where the heat’s gone out, where your water’s (run) cold those are the longest nights
of your life,” he said. “When you’re doing it five days a week, six days a week it’s abusive and it has to stop.” Alta Vista candidate John Redins, who campaigned earlier this year for a provincial seat to represent Ottawa South, said current bylaws need more teeth. “Right now (landlords are) just getting a slap on the hand.” Gloucester-Southgate candidates Brad Pye and Mohamed Roble both said more money isn’t needed to fix the problem. “Everybody wants to throw money at a problem, but it doesn’t actually answer the problem,” said Pye, adding that bylaw officers have to do the job they are hired to do, and the city solicitors’ office should also step in. Tenants also need to hold council, among parties, accountable. “In order to get the problem in hand you have to have leadership on that,” Pye said. Mohamed agreed, saying that having city council on the side of tenants is key to tackling
the issue. Rats, bed bugs, cockroaches that plague apartment complexes and other rental properties across the city are evidence of years of neglect, tenants say. Redins, who lives in a highrise apartment building in Herongate agreed. His apartment had just been sprayed for bed bugs and another spray is scheduled to tackle the cockroach problem. While the property owner has made progress in improving properties in the area after years of neglect from a previous management company, “problems are still persistent,” Redins said. Councillors need to take a leadership role and ensure minimum standards are enforced in order to ensure homes are healthy, said Pye, who was in Herongate recently for a meeting and saw a rat in the tenant’s hallway. “How do you feel when you live in a place like this?” he asked.

Express police checks bumped to west Ottawa from downtown Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Express service for criminal and police records checks and vulnerable sector fingerprinting is no longer available at Ottawa police headquarters downtown. The walk-in express service has been moved to the Ottawa police administration building at 2670 Queensview Dr. in west Ottawa in an effort to consolidate administrative services, said Const. Chuck Benoit, spokesman for the Ottawa police. “This is a new location where there’s a lot of administration that has moved to that building,” he said of the gradual transition that has taken place over the past few years. “So a lot of departments are working from there, and they’re able to assess, prob-
ably better serve the people that need it.” While the move was not spurred by the number of applications being absorbed by the downtown site, that location was handling a significant number of requests. “You’re looking at anybody who volunteers, anybody who teaches, anybody who has anything to do with sports with kids or with seniors,” Benoit said. “This is a big city so there’s so many venues that need to have that records check, also people applying for jobs.” The express service started up at the new location on Sept. 2. Vulnerable sector fingerprinting services are available Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and requests for police records checks can be made during the regular work week from 7:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. While the Queensway site is further west, it still provides convenient access for many residents and is a “well-placed building,” said Benoit. Five Ottawa police locations will continue to process criminal records checks and accept applications for police record checks on a non-express basis. The service is available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in downtown Ottawa at 474 Elgin St., in Kanata at 211 Huntmar Dr., and in Orléans at 3343 St. Joseph Blvd. That same service is also available Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in Nepean at 245 Greenbank Rd., and in Leitrim in south Ottawa at 4561 Bank St. FILE For more details, visit ottawapolice.ca, or call 613- Applications for police records checks and vulnerable sector fingerprinting on a walk-in express basis are no longer being accepted at police headquarters. 236-1222, ext. 5485. “That was way to easy!”

CHEO takes sting out of testing on newborns with new video erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - A new baby tucked against its mother’s chest sleeps soundly while a nurse pricks the heel of the sleeping babe’s tiny foot to collect blood samples. The little one continues to snooze in the safe and warm cocoon of its mother’s arms, oblivious to what normally is a painful but vital test for congenital illnesses. The video, produced at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario over four months, was released in July and announced on Aug. 23. Through it, an Ottawa-based research team hopes to teach parents three simple strategies that have proven effective at minimizing pain their newborns or pre-term babies feel during blood work and other medical procedures. “We know that taking blood from babies using the heel prick method or venous access is painful for babies. It results in maximum distress at the time of the blood sampling, and often following completion of the blood sampling,” said Denise Harrison, chair of Nursing Care of Children, Youth and Families at CHEO’s research institute and the University of Ottawa. The research findings by the Be Sweet to Babies Team, which is led by Harrison, is captured in a video that is said to be the first of its kind.
“For very sick or pre-term babies, who can have 100 or more blood tests during their hospitalization, this is a lot of time being distressed,” said Harrison, a nurse and midwife with extensive clinical experience in neonatal intensive care. “Research has shown that such high numbers of painful procedures are harmful for sick or pre-term babies.” Breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact and giving babies small amounts of sugar water or sucrose have been found to be simple yet effective strategies to soothe and manage pain. Still, through Harrison’s research, she has found that these are not often used in Canada or elsewhere in the world. In fact, pain-management techniques are rarely used at all in these situations. The research team hopes parents who are expecting a baby will see the video and advocate to use these techniques when their wee one arrives. Parents can also find the experience very stressful. “Sometimes the baby is taken away from the parents for
their blood test, so the parents know something is happening to their baby, but they don’t know exactly what, and they can feel powerless not being there to help their baby,” Harrison said. An English version of the video was first to be posted to YouTube to coincide with World Breastfeeding Week earlier this summer. A French version was uploaded next. A Portuguese video is in the works, which will be used as part of a study in Brazil with Harrison’s research partners. There are also plans to translate the video into Inuktitut, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin and Hindustani. Parents of older babies can also benefit from a YouTube video posted by the Be Sweet to Babies team last October demonstrating pain-management strategies during immunizations. There have been more than 55,000 visits to that video. To watch the latest video, visit tinyurl.com/BSweet2newborns, and for details, visit facebook.com/besweet. tobabies.

Wait times for property repairs should be prioritized to ensure the more severe problems are tackled within 24 hours, he added. “If you’re talking about heating, if you’re talking about ventilation or air conditioning during the summertime it has to be at least 24 hours at a maximum,� he said. “After that, however long the problem takes, it should be required as what would normally be required out in the public sector.� When asked by tenants what the candidates would each do within the first 30 days of taking office, Roble said a longterm strategy is needed and would likely take longer than a month to implement. Showing up to meetings should be a priority for elected councilors, said Redins, who criticized absent councillors and other candidates for not attending the housing forum. Pye also said it isn’t about what can be accomplished within the first month of office. “Thirty days is a drop in the bucket,� the candidate said, adding that a public housing strategy needs to be developed to fit the needs of tenants. “Some of you have small children and you’re living in conditions that are despicable by any standard and if people knew that they would be here tonight,� Pye said. Tenants frustrated by stonewalling landlords also sought answers from candidates on strategies that can improve their living conditions. Accountable leadership and partnerships among landlords, the community and bylaw officials are key, said Pye. Redins pitched the idea of creating a website that would allow tenants to rate their landlords and air concerns about living conditions. Though tenants at the meeting also raised issues around public transit and improved lighting in high-traffic areas, it was a candidate who raised the topic of crime. “It’s the biggest single issue in Heatherington,� Pye said, but added that his own neighbourhood of Hunt Club Park is not immune to violent crime. When it comes to eradicating crime, improving properties and advocating for higher rental housing standards, tenants need know their rights in order to successfully implement change, said Pye.

Ottawa women secure Aussie football trophy for Canada Men’s team produce record results on international stage Ottawa South News Staff
News - Athletes on one of two Canadian women’s national teams returned home last week the champions of the international Australian football championship. The Northern Lights senior women’s team, beat out Ireland, the defending champion during the final game of the two-week competition on Aug. 23, making the Canadians the 2014 winners of the Australian Football League International Cup, held every three years. It’s the first time a Canadian
women’s team has won the prestigious cup. Several female athletes who play for the Ottawa Swans Football Club had been named to the team, including Mooney’s Bay resident Emma Dickinson, Old Ottawa East resident Holly Costanza, and Montreal residents Kelsey Martin and sisters Margo and Aimee Legault. Costanza was scheduled to play during the two-week competition, but suffered a partially torn knee ligament just prior to leaving for Melbourne, Australia. But her teammates rallied around her and she travelled with the team to cheer them on. The women were among 11 players from the Swans club named to three national teams that competed
on the international stage. The North Wind men’s team also achieved record standings by coming out victorious against Tonga and securing fifth place overall, a record achievement for the team. Team members Centretown resident Nathan Strong, Kanata’s Mike Kozlowski and Ronan Shaughnessy of Montreal also play for the Swans. The Canadian women’s development team, the Midnight Suns, lost out to the U.S. in their final game, but celebrated a fourthplace finish overall. National team athletes Lisa Dalla Rosa and Roberta Kramchynski, both residents of downtown Ottawa, and Montreal’s Emily Legault also play for the Swans. Yet another highlight of the international tournament, which attracted teams from 17 nations, saw three Swans players selected to compete on the all-star men’s and women’s world teams, including Strom, Dickinson and Aimee Legault.

The road less travelled Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Forty days, 800 kilometres and a whole lot of faith: that was Aileen Lamont’s world for the better part of the summer as she walked from southern France to the northern coast of Spain on a personal pilgrimage. The 60-year-old Greely resident left St. Jean, France on June 21 and hiked over the Pyrenes mountains into Spain. She didn’t let up until she reached Santiago de Compostela on Aug. 6. Lamont walked an average of 20 km a day, passed Roman-era churches and took in countless pastoral views of European countryside steeped in rich culture, history and faith. “For me, it was very spiritual,” Lamont said. “There were so many, many moments when I would just fall into prayer.” Lamont was walking the Way of St. James, a pilgrimage to Santiaga de Compostela where Jesus’ apostle St. James the Great is said to be buried, to mark her 60th birthday as well as the 125th anniversary of All Saints Anglican Church on Parkway Road. Also called the Camino Frances, the pilgrimage has been used since the ninth century, and was one of the most important pilgrimage routes in the Middle Ages. Today, the route is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts thousands of pilgrims each year. Lamont’s aim was to raise $8,000 for the church, which faces mounting maintenance bills. “I am very blessed and I have more than I need in this life, so I thought what a way to give back to my community, my spiritual family,” Lamont said. She embarked on her pilgrimage alone, but the well-worn trail offered up plenty of friends to help her along the way.
And she, too, was given a chance to help her fellow pilgrims. Early in her journey, she came across a woman from Slovenia who was struggling down a steep hillside because of a knee injury. Lamont and her friend Monica helped her down the hill and into a nearby village. Sympathetic passers-by gave her their first aid equipment, and the two women stayed with her until she was safe. That show of community gave Lamont comfort when she found herself on lonely country paths, having taken the road less travelled. “You may have walked alone, but you were never alone,” Lamont said. Some days were certainly a challenge. Being summer, the heat could be nearly unbearable, particularly on a steep incline or on the flat meseta tablelands famous for their stark and unyielding countryside. “It was challenging, and that’s where prayer kicked in,” she said. “You’ve maybe got two to three km to go that day, but you know St. Christopher’s leading the way and St. Anthony is looking after your health. It occupies your mind.” One day she came close to giving in to temptation, when a poorly marked sign had taken her a few kilometres out of her way on a particularly stifling afternoon. Knowing she was running low on water, she made it to the main road and decided she would hitchhike the last four or five km into the village. As a car came along, she waved at it as she had seen others do – the universal thumb-up didn’t seem to apply – but the driver simply waved in return, with a big smile, and kept driving. “Well, that served me right for trying to skip the last four km,” Lamont laughed.

She also struggled to keep her temper in check when faced with the realities of the modern pilgrimage; not all walkers on the Camino trail are there for spiritual reasons, and some had a tendency to blare their music just as she was taking in a particularly moving scene. But there were other sounds that ďŹ lled her with joy: pilgrims openly praying on the trail, for example, or the buzz of a bee which, being so secluded, was the only thing in earshot. Lamont reached the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on Aug. 6 alongside two women she met on the road, Christiane and Armelle, both from France. It was a celebration of sorts, but also a sombre moment for pilgrims to embrace the statue of St. James the Great and visit his crypt below the church. “At the end of the road, you embrace death,â€? Lamont said. It wasn’t until a few days after she had arrived home to Greely and got her walking sticks out for the ďŹ rst time that she came to realize what her journey had really been about. “The camino is a metaphor for life,â€? she

Metcalfe soldier’s letters make way to digital world Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News – In this modern age, no good piece of gossip takes very long to make its way across social media. One hundred years ago, the best bits of hometown news could take days to reach the front line, where thousands of young Canadians were living a daily nightmare in the trenches of the First World
War. Like many soldiers, Metcalfe’s own Private Elmo Sully kept up a steady stream of letter writing to his girl back home, Fannie Iveson, a fellow student at Metcalfe Continuation School. Those 100-year-old letters have now been collected into an interactive website and print collection, called Private Sully Goes to War, in an effort to help modern-day students
connect with their hometown history. Project lead Jane Cooper said the letters are surprisingly accessible. “It’s a high school boy writing to his girl,� said Cooper. “They’re written in a very young voice.� They’re also fascinating for the details they reveal and conceal about his experience. “You can sense a lot of selfcensorship,� Cooper said. “He didn’t want to tell Fannie the nasty stuff.� That ‘stuff’ includes some
of the bloodiest battles of the war: the Battle of the Somme and Passchendaele. Instead, many of Sully’s letters focus on town gossip and events, including how much he’ll miss the now-defunct Ottawa Exhibition. “Do you remember a certain day of the Ottawa ex. last year; my suggestion, that I might be in kharki by exhibition time this year came quite true. ... I hope you are able to ‘take it in’ this year,� he wrote to Fannie on Sept. 16, 1916. Gossip ran rampant through his letters: who was dating who, who had gotten top marks in Latin, and, perhaps most importantly, who had enlisted. In many ways, this front line postal system wasn’t so different than Facebook or Twitter today, Cooper said. “I was fascinated at how often they wrote to each other, and how quickly the letters got to each other,� Cooper said. “They’re social networking. It’s just the technology that’s changed.� It’s changing in the schools, too; textbooks are becoming an outdated resource, and students are demanding digital media in the classroom. To this end, Cooper has partnered with Osgoode Township High School teacher David Way to develop an interactive website that will help Grade 10 history students connect with Sully and his friends Duff Crerar and Ross Campbell, who lived in their own village 100 years ago. Several media and design students at Algonquin College

She thought then that she would turn them into a book, but it
was only at the end of 2013 when Metcalfe resident Margaret Rivard had transcribed the letters that Cooper decided it was time. She did hours of research into Sully’s regiments so she could ďŹ ll in the gaps of his whereabouts and experiences to create the book. But it was clear that to become a success it would need to be a digital creation ďŹ rst and foremost. “The book becomes a teaser for the website,â€? she said. Copies of the print edition have been mailed to teachers across the region, and Cooper hopes to sell copies to interested readers in the future.

The city and province have confirmed $750,000 in funding to study an underground tunnel to get trucks off downtown roads like King Edward Avenue.
Municipal-provincial funding partnership proves collaboration: councillor Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Confirmation of funding for a Lowertown trucktunnel study shows the city and provincial governments are ready to work together on a solution, according to the ward councillor. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s ward residents have been calling for a solution to the heavy transport truck traffic that cuts through the city’s core en route to Quebec. After the Ontario government withdrew funding and support for a study examining locations for a new bridge over the Ottawa River last summer, the province and city announced in November 2013 that they would partner on a
study looking at building a tunnel to give 18-wheelers an underground route through Lowertown. Last week’s confirmation that the funding agreement had been signed not only kicks off an 18-month study looking at the tunnel’s feasibility, it also marks the start of a collaboration between the two levels of government to work towards a solution, Fleury said. “Now we’re demonstrating that the two partners who are working on this and will find a resolution agree that we need to find a solution and that it’s an important thing for Ottawa,� he said. The city could have undertaken such a study on its own, but partnering with the province from the outset ensures there are ongoing discussions focused on finding a solution, the councillor said. “I want residents to know it’s not another study, it’s about resolution at this point and we’re already in discussion with the ministry (of transpor-
tation),� Fleury said. Fleury said it’s clear that it’s feasible to build a tunnel in the area because the city is already digging one for the light-rail system. The truck tunnel study would look at possible alignments for the tunnel connecting Highway 417 to the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge, the route’s size and number of lanes and the potentials costs of such a project. The study will take about 18 months to complete and will cost $750,000, with the city and province each paying half. International engineering firm Parsons has been hired to undertake the study. Approximately 2,500 trucks travel through Lowertown on King Edward Avenue on a typical weekday - a number which is expected to increase by one or two per cent each year. The route also sees trucks using Waller and Rideau streets. With files from Michelle Nash

Ayling will make the goodies, while business-minded Mike will manage the books. After six months of planning, V’s Cupcakes opened its doors on Manotick Main Street on Tuesday, Aug. 19. The vintage-inspired shop will sell as many as 20 cupcake flavours on weekends, with staples available throughout the week. Wedding cakes, cookies, brownies and scones will also line the shelves, and Ayling said she plans to cater events,
as well. “We’ll be unbeatable as a team,� said Mike. “I’ve tested more cupcakes than I can count.� But the new store is just icing on the cake as the Ayling family tries to conclude a terrifying chapter of their life. Exactly two years before opening her shop, the fit, energetic mother of three suddenly found herself barely able to function. She was dizzy, thirstier than she’d ever been before and drop-dead tired – unheard of for the “energizer bunny� who did crossfit workouts sometimes twice a day. “It really happened over-
night,� said the 39-year-old. After two days struggling to get through her days at work, she went to the military hospital, but the doctor didn’t recognize the signs for what they were: Lyme. The doctor refused to prescribe antibiotics, and Ayling’s health continued to decline. Countless tests, including physical tasks to measure her failing heart, were unable to shed light on the cause. “I went through hell and back during those tests,� Ayling said. “I thought I would die on the spot, some of them.� See CUPCAKES, page 25

Lyme herself, and was appalled to discover doctors in Quebec wouldn’t treat her – and she wasn’t the only one. “Patients who had seen the same doctor for 25 years said ‘I have Lyme’ and they just said, ‘I don’t want to see you anymore,’â€? she said. The problem, McShane said, is that there have been two standards of care for treating Lyme: an older one that simply allowed doctors to treat Lyme as they saw ďŹ t, and another from the Infectious Diseases Association of America, which says Lyme shouldn’t be treated long-term. This recommendation comes from a series of cases in which patients failed to recover after long-term courses of antibiotics, McShane said. “The issue is they did these studies and said these people did not improve, but they did not give them high enough doses of antibiotics or the right combination of antibiotics, and they did not treat co-infections,â€? McShane said. Lyme can compromise the immune system, allowing old illnesses to reoccur and severely complicate treatment, she said. In Canada, several prominent doctors have lost their medical licenses for prescribing antibiotics for longer than the standard one month period, despite the fact that Lyme can take two or three years of antibiotic treatment to fully cure. Until this June, when the New York senate passed a bill protecting doctors from persecution based on their treatment methods, McShane was risk-

She even tested for Lyme, but the results came back negative – as many falsely do, according to a Health Canada bulletin. By November 2012, Mike was demanding antibiotics for his wife. “I’m watching her health going down and down, and one morning I remember looking at her in bed and she was beyond pale,� he said. “I thought, my God, I’m watching my wife die.� Finally, a doctor agreed to give her a month-long course of antibiotics, followed by a second. By early 2013 Ayling was feeling more energetic, but her heart function had plummeted below 40 per cent. Intensive rehab got it back up to 51 per cent, but poor heart functionality is a reality Ayling still faces today. “I don’t think I will get back to where I was, because my heart was attacked,� she said. “The damage is irreversible.� Having recovered as best as possible but still unsure what had caused her illness, Ayling returned to work that August, a year after Lyme took hold. She was feeling almost back to normal by the time January 2014 arrived, and she and Mike started planning the cupcake shop. The couple was busy taking trips to Montreal and Toronto to buy specialized equipment for the shop, but Ayling was becoming more and more fatigued. “By April, I couldn’t drive my car,� Ayling said. She was back to square one. She continued planning her shop on her laptop from bed, between long naps and periods of mental fog. “I was able to do a lot online,� Ayling said. “My best friends were my legs.� But the many doctors she saw didn’t have nearly as much faith in her illness as her friends. “Some doctors will look at you and say it’s all in your head,� she said. That is, until she discovered Dr. Maureen McShane. The US-born doctor lives in Montreal, but opened a practice in Plattsburgh, New York in 2009 to treat Lyme disease patients. McShane had contracted
ing her medical license every day to treat the approximately 950 Lyme patients currently in her care. There was no question it was the right thing to do. “It’s a real moral issue,â€? McShane said. “When I got it, my whole world changed and there was a doctor willing to risk his license to treat me. So how could turn around and not do the same thing?â€? McShane takes a holistic approach, demanding her patients eat clean – preferably glutenfree, as many Lyme patients develop gluten intolerances – and prescribing herbal and vitamin supplements alongside effective antibiotics. She said she fully believes that even the most drastic, chronic Lyme cases can achieve a 100 per cent recovery on this plan. Ayling will start seeing McShane in September, abandoning the Canadian health care system to pay out of pocket over the border – as much as $10,000 a year if extra costs like travel, time off, tests and lifestyle changes are factored in. She ďŹ nally got a positive Lyme test from a lab in the US this June, and has started antibiotics once again. She said she just hopes McShane can continue the progress she’s made over the summer as she relishes the opening of her bakery. “It’s been a heck of a road,â€? Ayling said, noting her dream business is more than just cute cupcakes. “Mike and this business is what kept me alive.â€?

Humane Society preps for 26th walk Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - The Ottawa Humane Society is gearing up for their annual Wiggle Waggle Walkathon on Sept. 7. This is the charity’s 26th annual walk and one of the only ones in the country to include a three-kilometre companion run, where participants are able to bring their four-legged friends along. Natalie Pona, the humane society’s spokesperson, said the goals for the annual fundraiser – the society’s biggest – are $40,000 for the run and $160,000 for the walk. So far, pledges are at about 25 per cent of the goal. “We really start to see the numbers go up in the last week leading up to the event,” Pona said on Aug. 28.
Last year – the companion run’s inaugural year – there were 2,500 participants. The companion run is a three-kilometre route from Juliana Park and Queen Elizabeth Drive. The walk can be one or three-kilometres and takes place around Commissioners Park on Queen Elizabeth Drive. Supporters can register for the walk with a donation of $25. People walking with dogs they adopted from OHS can register for $20 and a family pack registration is $40. Pona said aside from the walk, there will be kids’ activities, a pet The Wiggle Waggle Walkathon will take over Commissioners Park on Sept. 7. pavilion and other entertainment onsite. “It will be a lot of fun,” she said. The annual fundraiser helps the humane society provide for the more than 10,000 animals they care for each year.

Meet the candidate: Susan Sherring Ottawa Sun columnist wants a seat on the other side of the council horseshoe Ottawa South News Staff
News - Susan Sherring, an Ottawa Sun staffer since the paper launched, wants to jump from journalism into politics. The 55-year-old Stonebridge resident is on leave from her position as city-hall columnist for the newspaper, a role she says has helped prepare her for the challenge of representing GloucesterSouth Nepean Ward. Coun. Steve Desroches has said he won’t seek re-election in the Oct. 27 vote. Sherring said her columns
critiquing city politics are not the only thing she is known for. Her involvement in the Nepean Minor Hockey Association means many people recognize her from the rink rather than the newspaper. Born in Arnprior, Sherring earned a bachelor of journalism degree from Carleton Journalism. She has two sons: Jamie, 16, and Peter, 21. Q: Why are you running for city council in GloucesterSouth Nepean Ward? A: I’ve been involved in this community for a long time. Through my work as a columnist at the Sun and as a reporter covering city hall for so many years, I think I’ve learned a lot. I feel – and I know a lot of residents do – this is a crucial time for this
area. We’ve got to make sure we have a strong voice around council and with Coun. Steve Desroches leaving ... I can be that strong voice. Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party. A: As reporters, we don’t donate to political campaigns or get involved in political campaigns. We are usually writing about them. I think people consider me through the column as a fiscal conservative, and I definitely mean a small “c.” I think at city hall I have certainly developed a reputation for looking at the bottom line and looking at perhaps
some of the sillier expenditures that I think need to continue to be examined. Certainly I am going into it understanding or believing the best kind of councillor ... (is) someone who has a citywide vision, but knows their first role is to look after the interests of their residents. Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: I have always written that I do not see the issues with accepting donations from corporations and unions ... Clearly many, many businesses in this community have helped make this a better community. To say there is something wrong with their money, I have never understood that argument. I have opposed that (campaign donation) rebate program ... I don’t think taxpayers should have to fund someone else’s donation. I am not participating in the rebate program.
SUSAN SHERRING
Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A: No. Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in the ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: Most people would agree, and I certainly do, (that) the bridge dominated the past ... Clearly it was a huge mess. I thought Steve did a good job in making sure that it was all dealt with.
I don’t think there is one burning issue in this ward. Certainly, the issues that affect many of the suburbs – transit and transportation – that’s obviously huge in this ward. The second phase of LRT – it was a big blow for this area to lose the north-south line. I’m committing to making sure this ward isn’t left out ... We have to make sure as we develop LRT we’re not losing and not stopping growth on OC Transpo (bus) service to this area. It’s not going to help residents of Gloucester-South Nepean if they’ve got a great LRT and we don’t have bus service to get to it. Again, recreation – this is the suburbs, people rely on having available recreation. I am also hearing about community safety. It is still early days in the campaign, but that is certainly something I am going to be turning my attention to. Other candidates currently registered in Gloucester-South Nepean are: Kevin Fulsom, Scott Hodge, Jason Kelly, Michael Qaqish and Bader Rashed.

Peppermint Spa to give Weaver House a makeover Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Owners of a local spa hope to extend their beauty services to their new location. The vacant, city-owned home known as Weaver House in Manotick’s Dickinson Square has long been in need of a makeover. Charmaine and Jon Cianciullo have already started the process, clearing brush from around the building and parking lot at 1131 Mill St as they prepare to give the heritage home the dash of lipstick it deserves. “It has so much charm, when you look past how it’s been neglected,� Charmaine Cianciullo said. “We want to bring it back to its former glory.� The couple currently run the Peppermint Spa out of their family home on Rideau Valley Drive south of Manotick. But by Dec. 1 the pair hopes to be fully operational in the heart of the village. “I’m so excited to join in the community events like Dickinson Days and Taste of Manotick,� said Cianciullo, who is an aesthetician by trade. “The community has been so welcoming.� The spa uses all-organic ingredients to make its products on site. Right now, the home-based spa can’t accommodate groups or even pairs for some services, but once the Weaver House location opens the owners can offer party services and better scheduling for clients. The spa will also have an acupuncturist and a naturopath working from the building throughout the week. Cianciullo is looking to add a holistic nutritionist to the roster, as well. “We’re treating the body as a whole and bringing health back to the beauty industry,� she said. The city accepted the couple’s bid to purchase the house this spring after another business owner’s proposal to install a Christmas store fell through. The city has been trying to sell or lease five properties in Dickinson Square since it purchased them in 2007. The Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation, owned wholly by the city, has a mandate to recover the $2.1 million spent to acquire the properties (including a lot on the north-east side of the square that cannot be sold for development). For the past two years, the corporation’s board has been consulting with residents, community groups and business leaders to determine what
the village wants to see in the square. Last summer, the city sought requests for offers on all five buildings. Successful offers had to conform to strict criteria, including minimum bids and a proven ability to manage a business or organization inside a public heritage square.
“I’m so excited to join in the community events like Dickinson Days and Taste of Manotick ... The community has been so welcoming.� CHARMAINE CIANCIULLO
Weaver House was originally sold to Orleans businesswoman Lorna Challis, who planned to open a year-round Christmas store in the building. But personal circumstances prevented the sale from closing, so the property went back on the market for 30 days in May. The city did not require a minimum bid in the EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND second listing, and the home sold for $349,000 rather than the original $400,000 asking price. Charmaine and Jon Cianciullo, owners of the Peppermint Spa on Rideau Valley Drive “We determined to go out a little bit lower,� south of Manotick, plan to open their new location in the Weaver House by December. said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who chairs the MMQCDC corporation’s board of directors. “We wanted to put it out at a price that would get some interest.� The sale closed Aug. 18. Two other properties have also been sold to local developer Joe Princiotta, and Moffatt ex pects those agreements to close by September. Princiotta purchased the Ayres Building – currently occupied by Rural Ottawa South Support Services – as well as a vacant property on Clapp Lane, on which he will build an independent living centre. Dickinson House and the Carriage Shed had no successful bids during the request for offers process, and will likely go back on the market in early 2015 once the MMQCDC board reassesses its sales strategy, Moffatt said. Moffatt said he’s excited to see Weaver House getting fixed up for the betterment of the village. “They have a pre-existing client base from all over, and they will come to Dickinson Square. It will bring new people to Manotick,� Moffatt said. “That’s kind of exciting. That’s exactly what we wanted.�

Somerset House owner says he’ll revive Duke restaurant Mayor calls out TKS Holdings for failing to fix up Somerset House Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Mayor Jim Watson called out the owner of the derelict Somerset House building for failing to start work on the landmark structure, but its owner again said work is imminent. Watson said he had a heated phone call with Tony Shahrasebi, the owner of the falling-down shell of a building at Bank and Somerset streets in Centretown. “It’s been an eyesore,” the mayor said. “There has been precious little work and big promises.” The mayor asked for city staff to prepare an update on permits that have been issued for the Somerset House and the value of encroachment fees the city has waived in hopes of prompting Shahrasebi and his company, TKS Holdings, to start work on the building. The city’s built heritage committee approved a design for restoring the building last October and Shahrasebi told the Ottawa East News in the spring that construction was imminent, but it has remained unchanged since. On Aug. 29, Shahrasebi said he was sending a power washer to clean up the building over Labour Day weekend, as well as a paint and sheet-metal crew to determine what work will need to be done. Cleaning of bricks, removal and repair of metal features and the building’s bay windows will follow, Shahrasebi said. Last week, after the mayor publically criticized Shahrasebi for failing to meet his commitment to tidy up the site, the building’s owner said politicians have a lack of understanding about running a business. “The mayors and politicians come and go. I own a lot of property in this city. I am not going anywhere,” he said. Last spring, Shahrasebi was set to ink a tenancy agreement with a pharmacy after two years and $200,000 spent negotiating. When that deal fell through, the project was put on ice as Shahrasebi worked on two other redevelopments: the former Salvation Army building on Gladstone Avenue and the renovation of a former garage into a new burger joint, the Bacon Factory, on O’Connor Street. Opening that restaurant has given new motivation to the Somerset House project, said Shahrasebi, who

Designs for a fixed-up Somerset House were approved last fall, but a lack of progress on the derelict building is frustrating the mayor. is now keen on opening his own restaurant honouring the heritage of the Somerset House. He would likely call the eatery the Duke of Somerset,
after a popular historic pub that used to occupy the building. “For Somerset (House) I don’t have any tenant(s), but I am getting to
the point since now I have gotten into the restaurant business, now I have a lot of chefs and managers around. So I think we can do something our-
selves,” he said. “Therefore, we are going to be our own tenant. We are not going to rent it to anybody.” Another option he is working on is a “market mall,” which would include space for around eight individual vendors in a “funky, European style” indoor market, Shahrasebi said. The city and Shahrasebi were locked in a court battle for more than four years, which started when the city’s chief building official issued a demolition permit for the building because she worried the rest of the building was going to fall down. Shahrasebi obtained a court order to have the demolition done in stages to save part of the building, as long as it was in a safe condition, but much of the structure except for the facade and a side wall were torn down. The once-vibrant building has remained that way - covered with graffiti and open to the elements - for four years because of the court battle. The city sued him for costs related to the collapse and Shahrasebi countersued. In 2012, Shahrasebi was ordered to pay the city $650,000 in a legal settlement representing the city’s costs to respond to the partial collapse.

Mayor calls for more murals Graffiti, etching art on two underpasses should just be the start: Watson Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - A new series of underpass murals is giving graffiti its first chance to be recognized as public art, according to one of the artists involved.
Nepean resident Cassandra Dickie and the Ottawa Urban Arts collective spent seven days spray painting a puzzle-piece mural on Highway 417 underpass at Metcalfe Street. She has painted many murals in Ottawa over her 15 years as a graffiti artist, but this is the first time such paintings are being sought out as public beautification projects. “My collective and I, Ottawa Urban Arts, has been doing murals for quite a while now ... But this is the first time that public art has given an opportunity for graffiti artists to actually paint a mural like this,” Dickie said. “We’re just really happy that Ottawa is
starting to evolve. That’s what we’re trying to push. “I’m glad that we’re starting to be able to open up the doors a bit and embrace the evolution of the newer generation of artists,” she said. Mayor Jim Watson had proposed the idea of adding murals to drab cement underpasses as part of his State of the City speech in January. At the Metcalfe Street mural’s unveiling on Aug. 26, Watson said he’d like to see murals on all major underpasses by 2017. The blank gray walls “don’t reflect the heartbeat and culture of the city,” Dickie said. That what she and the other artists involved in the Metcalfe mural – Mike Davis, Phil Laporte and Dominic Laporte – aimed to do with their puzzle-piece mural that depicts iconic sights from the area, such as the Aberdeen Pavilion
and a dinosaur from the Canadian Museum of Nature. The puzzle pieces illustrate the theme of “connection.” The mural took about seven days of work from 10 a.m. until sundown to complete and it should last 10 years or more, since it’s protected from the sun. A second mural by Christopher Griffin that depicts an 18-foot-tall peregrine falcon has been added to Riverside Drive where it passes under Bronson Avenue. A pair of the birds has been nesting near that site since at least 2011 and the Ottawa Field Naturalists have monitored the threatened species’ habitat since 2012. The opposite wall of each underpass features a stencil mural by local artist Nicole Belanger, which celebrates Canada’s upcoming 150th anniversary in 2017.

“Storage unlike you’ve ever seen before”
Helping Children & Youth with Special Needs in Ottawa Achieve Their Goals Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre (OCTC) to announce that the Ontario government is investing $400,000 in annualized funding in the OCTC. This investment will help us achieve our goal to reduce wait times, improve access, and provide families with children and youth with special needs with services as close to home as possible. The province is investing an additional $5 million annually in children’s treatment centres to expand access to physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy for up to an additional 2,000 children annually across Ontario. Ontario is also investing an additional $1.25 million in one-time funding to help children’s treatment centres further reduce waitlists for assessments that will be divided equally amongst each of Ontario’s 20 children’s treatment centres.
MCPL VINCENT CARBONNEAU/RIDEAU HALL (2014)
Over the two-nights Rideau Hall hosted movie nights on the grounds more than 1,700 people attended the event.
Improving access to services for children and youth with special needs is part of the government’s plan to invest in people, build modern infrastructure and support a dynamic business climate.
Thousands attend Rideau Hall movies
Our government has heard from families that waitlists for services cause a great deal of stress and frustration. This is why we are taking action to reduce wait times so that young people get the vital supports they need.

News - The first-ever movies under the stars at Rideau Hall was a success. According to staff at the Governor General’s residence, the free event attracted more than 1,700 people during the two-night Rideau Hall Movie Nights this summer. “Celebrating Canadian cinema is a natural extension of what Rideau Hall is all about: the celebration of homegrown Canadian talent,” said Gov.Gen. David Johnston. “By showcasing Canadian films on these grounds, we are honouring and expanding on that tradition.” Rideau Hall first announced its plans to host two outdoor movie nights in the spring, choosing one English and one French film to showcase on the grounds. Held on Aug. 17 and Aug. 19, the events focused on Canadian films. More information about events held at Rideau Hall can be found at gg.ca/ visitus.
Here in Ottawa, the OCTC will receive an additional $62,500 in one-time funding.

Volunteers gather more than 1,500 backpacks for start of school Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Thanks to the donation of 420 more backpacks, the Caring and Sharing Exchange will be able to outfit all the families on their waiting list with the supplies they need for school. Volunteers gathered at the Accora Village Recreation centre on Aug. 25 packing 1,520 backpacks with the supplies Ottawa students will need for the start of school. The charity runs assistance programs for families in need, including a Sharing in Student Success program. The program provides children in need with grade-appropriate stuffed backpacks. The need is rising according to spokesperson Megan
O’Meara, who said last year’s demand reached 1,292 children. This year, the increase is nearly 20 per cent, with a total of 1,520 children on the list. There were 420 left on the waiting list before Giant Tiger stepped in and donated 420 backpacks. The Canadian retailer donated an additional 500 backpacks a month earlier. “Words cannot express the relief I felt when our friends at Giant Tiger offered to donate the additional bags for all the children on our waiting list,” Cindy Smith, executive director for the Caring and Sharing Exchange, said in a press release. “The backpack itself if the most expensive item given to each child, and although we still need help to
fill all of these bags, our goal of helping all the children on the list is once again within reach.” Giant Tiger is a long time supporter of the charity and gives financial and in-kind donations to the Sharing in the Student Success Program, as well as the nearly 100-year-
old Christmas Exchange. Jennifer Smith, a firsttime volunteer, said she was surprised at how streamlined operations were as she busily filled backpacks. “It seemed overwhelming to find out we had to stuff more than 1,000 backpacks in two days, but it’s all gone
really smoothly,” she said. Angela Kemp, president of the Ottawa Fund for a New Generation Gala, said the organization – which hosts an annual gala at the Canadian War Museum every April – donates money to the program every year. This year, they donated
$5,000 to the student program. The exchange is just one of the organizations that receive funding from the gala. The not-for-profit gives money to the Youth Services Bureau, the Door Youth Centre and the Ottawa Network for Education’s school breakfast program.

Grade 7 student prepares for second brain surgery News - Ethan Lavictoire, 12, had a busy summer planned. He had brain surgery scheduled at the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, followed by plenty of rest and healing before starting back at Terry Fox Elementary this week. His brain tumour – non cancerous – has been putting pressure on his brain and giving him frequent, dehabilitating headaches This spring, doctors told his family it had doubled in size within the past year. After his July surgery, the family thought everything had gone well. But the post-op MRI came back to show the tumour still there. “Basically, what they thought they were getting wasn’t the tumour,� said Amanda Lavictoire, Ethan’s mother. “That crushed us. That crushed Ethan.� Ethan recovered from surgery and spent time at home relaxing and healing, but had to prepare for another surgery scheduled for this week. The planned surgery date was Sept. 3, back at Sick Kids Hospital with the same surgeon who performed the first surgery. “We’re leaving today to go back and start the process over,� Amanda said last week before the family left for Toronto. “We’re still crossing fingers. This is just something we
didn’t ever think about – that the doctor wouldn’t be able to remove it.� Ethan will miss the first month or so of school at Terry Fox Elementary. His friends have been frequent visitors over the summer, and the school held a dance-a-thon fundraiser for him before the end of the last school year. His two younger siblings will be able to stay with their grandparents to start the school routine as normal. Both the OrlÊans community and the yoga community have put on several fundraisers for the family through the spring and summer. Amanda and Todd are both yoga teachers who are well known by their students. It means they aren’t paid while they aren’t teaching, so the fundraisers have helped the family take the necessary time off. Amanda has been off work for the summer. Amanda said that Ethan was happy reading messages wishing him well after his last surgery. Anyone who wishes to send a note to Ethan can do so at team. lavictoire@gmail.com.
teaching and training, is organizing a Sept. 12 fundraiser at Mariposa Farm in Plantagenet. It will be a five=course meal prepared by chef Matthew Shepheard, with guests able to bring their own wine. Tickets are selling for $75 per person, and are limited to 40 total. The Friday fundraiser will be held at 7 p.m. “I wanted to help the family out, but the farm is a super cool place as well,� said Dore. “Usually the only time that they’re open (and serving meals) is a Sunday lunch.� Tickets are available at the Upward Dog Yoga Centre, and can be picked up there in person. Tickets must be paid for by cash or cheque. The Upward Dog Yoga Centre can be reached at 613-241-9642.

Living art helps Discovery Tour grow emma.jackson@metroland.com
Arts – Only a select few artists can describe their work as “succulent,” but for Vicki Williams it’s the defining element. The North Gower garden designer creates “living art” with a vast variety of perennial and tropical succulent plants, which she nurtures on her front porch in the heart of the village. In an effort to promote her unique art form, Williams has joined this year’s Discovery Tour, an annual rural art route that connects patrons to 34 artists in 16 locations across the former Rideau Township over a two-day weekend in September. The tour on Sept. 13 and 14 includes a rich variety of local
painters, sculptors, textile artists, jewelers, photographers and farmers. Williams is unique in that she offers art that continues to grow and change as it hangs on a wall or in a garden. “They’re more than just a flower pot,” Williams said. “This is something where you can get your hands dirty and appreciate living things as art.” Her terrariums, wall hangings and vertical gardens often combine greenery with found objects like vintage picture frames, pottery and ironworks. She said her pieces range from $40 to $400, but at any price they can liven up an indoor space. “You can appreciate gardening on a really small scale,” she said. “Most of
these pieces you could take to your office and have green around you.” Williams has a design background, although she said she has always loved gardening. She began her retail career with an interior decor shop near Toronto, which grew into an exterior design and garden installation business. When she moved back to her hometown of North Gower in 2010, Williams took several horticultural courses at the Guelph University campus in Kemptville and became an accredited master gardener. Today, she runs a retail shop and offers living art workshops on her enclosed front porch, showing patrons how to bring true succulence into their life and home. “Succulents are really easy for people, because you

can get creative,” she said. “They’re easy to care for, easy maintenance.” Williams’ mother Eleanor Sangster will join her on the front porch at 6574 Fourth Line Rd. – stop number four on the Discovery Tour – to show off her watercolour paintings throughout the weekend. This year’s tour is the biggest ever with 16 stops and 34 participants. The Discovery Tour’s roots go back 20 years to the Rideau Rally, which local quilter Joan Lindsay started to promote small businesses in North Gower. It goes even farther back to the Monk Tour in the same area. Over the years, the tour’s emphasis has shifted from showcasing local businesses to promoting local artists, artisans and growers. The tour is well known in the North Gower/Kars area where its stops are located, but in recent years word has spread to the Ottawa area and beyond about this most varied

The city officials celebrate the official opening of a new 10-unit Ottawa Community Housing building in Lowertown on Aug. 25.
New affordable housing building opens in Ottawa Staff
News - The affordable housing stock in Lowertown has grown a little bit recently thanks to a new Ottawa Community Housing building on Old St. Patrick Street. Replacing a derelict house and two townhomes, Ottawa Community Housing officially opened the new 10-unit housing development at 456 Old St. Patrick St. on Aug. 25. “This new facility is a great example of how we are investing in communities to address the considerable social and economic costs related to homelessness,” said Mayor Jim Watson. The new build occurred in part because the former house’s foundation was badly damaged in the 2010 earthquake. Now the 10-unit building has four,
two-bedroom units, five three-bedroom units, and one four-bedroom, wheelchair-accessible unit. The $2.53-million project was funded in part by a contribution of $1.3 million from the city’s 10-year Housing and Homelessness Plan, which aims to eliminate chronic homelessness and address the needs of Ottawa’s most vulnerable residents. Ottawa Community Housing paid for the remainder of the costs. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury welcomed the new development to the neighbourhood. “Just over a year ago, a derelict house stood on this property,” Fleury said. “Now we have an exciting new development providing homes for 10 families, with convenient access to transit, schools, city services and all that the Lowertown has to offer. This is what revitalization is all about.”

Lowertown to paint the pavement Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - This month an angel with wings will appear at the end of York Street to help brighten up the deadend road in Lowertown. Part of the city’s Neighbourhood Connections Office Paint the Pavement project, the Lowertown Community Association, Action Sandy Hill, and three area schools, De La Salle Secondary School, York Street Public School and Sainte-Anne Catholic School, will be painting a mural on the street this Sept. 12 to help beautify and promote community pride. Initially the idea was to place the pavement mural at the intersection of Chapel Street and Beausoleil Drive. That is why Action Sandy Hill became involved, said board member Suneeta Millington. “ASH initiated the project because we thought the project would serve as a traffic calming measure at the base of those streets,” she said. Millington added that children from three different school boards and a daycare walk past this spot every day, making it a high foot traffic area. When the group found out

Students from De La Salle Secondary School designed the paint the pavement project for Lowertown East. The angel in the middle of the design is aimed to act as a protector for all the children who use the street to get to school. the area was not well suited for the paint the pavement project, they began looking a little more eastward, to the dead end of York Street. “ASH stayed involved because
we thought it would be a great opportunity to work closely with Lowertown,” Millington said. “There are already strong ties with Sandy Hill and Lowertown. This was an oppor-

connects the neighborhoods,” she said. “In Lowertown, this is another element that is starting to make the area better, reclaiming this space and saying, ‘Hey this belongs to us. It’s ours and we take pride in it and we care about it,’ and I think it’s a message that should be resonating. This is a place where people care and are engage.” Neighbourhood Connections Office is funding the project. One of the main criteria for the Paint the Pavement project is that the chosen spot has to be on a quiet residential street that doesn’t have a bus route -- which means a street that sees fewer than 2,500 vehicles pass through in any given 24-hour period. The reason for limiting the paintings to calmer streets is to limit the amount of wear and tear the murals will have to endure. The proposed design can’t cause driver confusion or imply any visual narrowing of the road or a tromp d’oeil effect -the creation of realistic imagery such as a hole in the road. It also can’t include any words or logos, as well as images that evoke traffic symbols, as that could cause safety concerns. Locations must be supported by the community, particularly the owners of the properties abutting the painting. More information about the project is available on the city’s website, ottawa.ca.

tunity to engage outside of our own neighborhood with partners who we have shared interests with.” The design was created by art students from De La Salle High, who were provided with a number of ideas related to Lowertown for inspiration. At the centre of the design is the image of an angel -- based on the book Angel Square -- which is set in Lowertown in the 1940s and was written by Bryan Doyle. The painting will be led by De La Salle teacher Grant Holmes, a local muralist who has completed a number of community painting projects. Holmes’ students will act as team leaders for the day’s painting event. The teams will be made up of students from Sainte-Anne, Collège Samuel-Genest and York Street Public School, as well as residents, parents and teachers will be volunteering. Getting ready for the big day, Millington said she is really excited. “It’s been really phenomenal. We have had tremendous support from all partners involved,” she said. “I think it will be great.” Millington said she truly believes this will create pride in the neighbourhood. “I think Sandy Hillers are happy to see this happen because it’s reflecting that they care about what is happening in Lowertown and it

Turns at Oktoberfest Kids dance during Barrhaven’s Oktoberfest celebration. This year’s event is slated to have the world’s largest beer tent according to organizer Dwight Brown.
Free dinner and dancing at this year’s Oktoberfest Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
Community - There’s nothing like a free meal with friends to make you feel appreciated. That’s the idea behind the Manotick Lions’ decision to offer a free dinner for all guests at this year’s Oktoberfest party on Sept. 13. “It’s to thank the community for all the support for the 30 years we’ve had together,” said Manotick Lion Kris Schulz, who said local businesses and organizations have come out in droves to support the event. “We thought, this is crazy, why don’t we make this an
appreciation night. Let’s go for it.” The annual shindig opens at 5:30 p.m. at the Manotick Curling Club, with the knackwurst and sauerkraut dinner starting at 6 p.m. The menu includes hot potato salad, red cabbage, pretzels and dessert. Drinks can be purchased at the bar – including craft beer from Ottawa’s Turtle Island brewery. After dinner, guests can waltz the night away with the Ottawa Rube 20-piece band until 10 p.m. There will be a silent auction throughout the evening, with proceeds going to the Manotick Lions for commu-
nity projects. Items have been coming in from across the village, from spa-quality bath robes to free oil changes. “I just feel it’s really come together,” she said. “I’m proud to be a Manotick person right now.” Shulz said the Lions raised about $1,500 from their silent auction last year, and this year she hopes to do the same. They’re expecting at least 150 people to enjoy the evening, and Schulz said if it goes well the free dinner may become a permanent fixture of the event. The curling club is located at 5519 South River Rd. in Manotick.

Teaching staff at Alain-Fortin school join MPP Marie-France Lalonde and French Catholic school board chair Denis Poirier after they announced Alain-Fortin 2, a second elementary school for the area, will start construction in the spring.
New French Catholic school coming to Avalon Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - Teaching staff were pulled into the library at Alain-Fortin school following the end of the first day back to school to learn a surprise – an $8.6-million surprise. On Aug. 26, Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde announced that a new school, dubbed Alain-Fortin 2, will start construction in spring 2015. The French Catholic elementary school in the Avalon area is currently overcrowded and overflowing with students in portables. The school is in only it’s fourth year of operation. The planned school will have space for 412 students in kindergarten to Grade 6. The second school for the area was the top priority for the French Catholic school board for 2014, but it was
left out of a large funding announcement made in Ottawa last March that included other projects across the city and four school boards. The school was one of 10 announcements made by Minister of Education Liz Sandals in Vaughan, Ont. the same day. The Alain-Fortin 2 school was the only eastern Ontario project to receive funding during Sandals’ announcement. Denis Poirier, chair of the school board, only found out that the announcement would be happening a few days prior. It was kept a secret from the staff at Alain-Fortin until they were called into the library following the first day of class. “It was a total surprise to all the staff,” Poirier said. “We’re ecstatic. When we listed our priorities, this was number one. So it was important for us to keep working on it.” The board is in the process
of purchasing a property in the west Avalon area. Poirier said he hopes to be able to announce the site for the new school soon. “What a great way to start the school year,” he said to the staff, many of whom have to teach in portable classrooms. With construction set to begin this spring, if all goes according to plan, the new school will open in fall 2016, two years from now. “I think a lot of parents see the value of a French education,” said Lalonde. She said when she knocked on doors during her campaigning, many parents in the Avalon area spoke to her about the need for more schools.

Getting fully prepared for first day back at school
T
his would be my second year at the Northcote School. I had passed out of Primer Book, much to my delight and my brother Emerson’s complete surprise. He told me on more than one occasion that I would be in the lowest grade for at least three years I loved school, and I loved Miss Crosby, even though I held her in great awe. She never played favourites, and often her patience was tried to the limit with both Cecil and Emerson in the same class. But she ruled with an iron fist, and her word was law at the Northcote School, let me tell you. I could hardly wait to get
MARY COOK Memories to school on that first day back in September. We five children had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and we had on our next-toSunday-best clothes, those that we wore into Renfrew, or to the Saturday night house parties. Not our very best, but a step up from what
we would wear after that very first day back to school. Writing was still beyond me, but I was able to print, and days before we were to go back to school, I had printed out all the rules I had learned the year before. I had sat at the kitchen table, and with the help of my sis-
ter Audrey, I refreshed in my mind, all the dos and don’ts Miss Crosby insisted on. I had to remember to stand at my desk, feet firmly planted on the floor, to answer any question asked by the teacher. It was considered very disrespectful to stay in your seat. And there was no slumping over your workbook. You sat up straight as a die. No passing notes or whispering allowed, and you never, ever, left your desk without permission. When the inspector came to the door, without rapping usually, just brazenly walking in, you immediately got out of your desk, and stood at attention until told to sit down. (The inspector was someone to be feared -- even Miss Crosby held him in awe. The inspector was right up there with a member of the local police force). You had to be prepared
for desk-drawer inspection without notice. So your books better be in perfect order: the scribblers on the very bottom, and the reader and spelling book on top. And no chewing on your art gum. That order was especially for Cecil who was known to demolish his art gum before the first week of school was over. And don’t even think of going to the pail of drinking water on the bench at the back door without asking permission. You asked permission for anything you needed or wanted to know by raising your right hand. Never your left hand, which apparently meant something entirely different. That was a challenge for Cora who was naturally left-handed, but she soon got onto raising her right hand when Miss Crosby ignored her otherwise. And the second Miss
Crosby appeared on the stoop outside the school, and rang the big brass hand-bell, you lined up like soldiers. The smallest at the front of the line, and the biggest at the back. It had nothing to do with what grade you were in. It had everything to do with how big you were, so I was always the first in line, and even though he was not even in Senior Fourth, my brother Emerson, as big as any man on the Northcote Side Road, was always the last in the line. And of course you never went into the school after being “rung in� and immediately sat down. You stood perfectly still until Miss Crosby came back in, went up to her desk, and nodded permission. There seemed to be no embarrassment in asking to go out to the privy. See STUDENTS, page 51

When homework becomes a game kids have fun Lifestyle - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework. Imagine what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like for them, after a whole day of school! Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework. With the following strategies you can make this obligation more fun for everybody. â&#x20AC;˘ Play school with your child.
Find yourself a little desk, let her pretend to be the teacher, and ask her to show you how to write out her spelling words. This is especially effective if you create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackboardâ&#x20AC;? with a piece of paper taped to the wall. â&#x20AC;˘ Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your
son might have difďŹ culty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow him to stand up, and ask him to say his multiplication tables while throwing you a ball. â&#x20AC;˘ Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for every 15 minutes of concentrated effort (or any other ratio that works). â&#x20AC;˘ Invest in some educational computer software that will help your son feel excited about learning grammar, math, and other subjects. â&#x20AC;˘ Exchange privileges for achievements. For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if she can ďŹ nish her math homework in fewer
than 15 minutes. Timing her will increase her concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to discourage her. â&#x20AC;˘ List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child pick the next task to tackle. Include a surprise note, on which might be written â&#x20AC;&#x153;take a ten minute breakâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;enjoy a second story at bedtimeâ&#x20AC;?; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs. â&#x20AC;˘ Be encouraging rather than stressed out. Congratulate your child for good results and be positive about future attempts. Most of all, help him or her to feel proud of their efforts.

Add an exotic touch for the lunchbox Lifestyle - Are you and your kids fed up with insipid lunches? Is your family threatening to strike over the perennial ham and cheese sandwich with carrot sticks? Are they pleading for money to eat at the school cafeteria? Are you spending most of your own pocket money on snack bar meals? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t despair! It is possible and easy to make your lunches more diverse and appetizing. First of all, get ready to step out of your comfort zone of sandwich, veggie sticks, and an apple or banana. An easy way to create variety is by changing the kind of bread you use. Trade in traditional sliced bread for Indian naan bread or half a pita bread. Try adding a new kind of cheese to sandwiches; feta is a delicious salty cheese that many young people discover they like. You can also prepare rice or vermicelli salads with ďŹ nely diced raw or leftover vegetables and a yummy vinaigrette. Check the weekly specials at the grocery store; when berries or unique fruits and vegetables are on sale, give them a try. Sliced zucchini makes a nice substitute for cucumber, and avocado halves eaten with a spoon out of the shell make a creamy, healthy vegetable alternative. Try mixing ďŹ&#x201A;avours to add novelty to familiar foods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; put a few walnut halves, dried cranberries, or mango slices in a chicken salad sandwich. The taste of a roast beef sandwich is deliciously transformed by including some sliced cooked ďŹ g or date. Turn lunch preparation into a family af-

Students signal for bathroom breaks Continued from page 48
But there were even rules for asking permission back then for something as basic as having to use the outhouse. If it was to be a fast trip, you raised one ďŹ nger on your left hand -- this was when the left hand was put to use. Two ďŹ ngers on the left hand meant you expected to out there for a bit longer. Of course, the entire Northcote School knew what you were asking permission for. And once the deed was done, you quickly washed your hands in the basin at the back door, dried them on the huck towel on the roller, and took your seat, and got right down to work. Miss Crosby was high on ritual, and so every morning we stood solemnly at our desks, with our right hand, palm opened over our heart, and paid homage to the King, repeated the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer, and then sat, ramrod straight with our eyes glued to the teacher, as she read a verse from the bible. And it was on that ďŹ rst day of school that each of us was assigned chores. These could include sweeping the ďŹ&#x201A;oor, emptying
the waste paper basket at the end of the day, wiping off the blackboards, changing the drinking and washing-up water, and making sure the pencil sharpener had been emptied every night. This schedule was tacked to the wall at the back of the schoolroom, and it was considered a great privilege to be asked to do chores for the teacher. My head would be spinning by the time I tried to remember all what I could and could not do at the Northcote School. To forget meant a sour look from Miss Crosby, a ďŹ nger wagging from my sister Audrey, and of course, a reprimand from Mother when I got home from school. That seemed to be the order of command back then. By the time the ďŹ rst week of school had passed, all the rules would have been established, and the school would be running like a well-oiled wheel. It would be many years later that I would ďŹ nally realize what Miss Crosby meant when she said in her opening remarks, as she stood at the big oak desk at the front of the room at the start of every school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember going to school is not a right, it is a privilege.â&#x20AC;?
I would like welcome returning students and new students of the OCDSB back to school, and I hope that your ďŹ rst weeks of school are ďŹ lled with excitement as well as ďŹ nding new friends and catching up with old ones after a busy summer. Further, at the start of another school year, I also wanted to take a moment to explain to OCDSB parents across the city the role of a school board trustees and how trustees can help you if you encounter problems at your school throughout the school year, from school transportation and bullying issues to accessing information about programs, such as our special education services. As recognized in the Education Act and underscored in a provincial review of school board governance in 2009, school board trustees have two roles: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a member of the board, an individual trustee is expected to act within the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by-laws and be loyal to the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisions. However, as elected persons, trustees are also expected to advocate for the interests of their constituencies.â&#x20AC;? In this regard, as members of the board, trustees collectively carry out the following key roles (developed by Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school board associations): Establishing vision and climate. As members of the school board, trustees help establish the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision and climate. Through their consultative work with their community they contribute to the shaping of a vision for the board that is reďŹ&#x201A;ective of the input of parents, students and supporters of the board. They then work to develop a strategic plan and policies that build a climate that supports student success and emphasizes teamwork and shared accountability among board and school staff. Planning, goal setting, and appraisal. Strategic planning is a key leadership responsibility of members of the school board. The Education Act requires boards to have a multi-year plan that is directed at achieving the boardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goals in areas that include student
achievement and well-being, capital planning, and parent engagement. This plan describes what the board hopes to achieve, what its priorities are and how it plans to meet its objectives. It is developed through a process that involves the board, the director of education, board staff, employee organizations, students and the community. It will have goals for each of the years of the plan, the board will review it annually with the director of education and it will be accessible to the public, usually through the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Policy making. A key responsibility of any school board is to develop and adopt policies that are based on the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision and that provide a framework for implementation of the vision. The Education Act requires boards to develop and maintain policies and organizational structures that promote the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and encourage pupils to pursue their educational goals. It is the responsibility of board members to monitor and evaluate how efďŹ ciently the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies are implemented and how effective they are in achieving the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals. Policies will cover such matters as instructional material, student support services, administration of schools, stafďŹ ng, and facilities and equipment. Recruiting and reviewing performance of the chief executive. In many cases, trustees must recruit and hire a new director of education during their term of ofďŹ ce. As a member of the board, a trustee participates in the evaluation of the performance of the director of education, who is ultimately responsible for carrying out the board-approved policies. Student achievement and wellbeing. The board is entrusted with the task of adopting policies that set clear expectations and standards for student achievement and that promote student well-being in accordance with provincial legislation and regulations. All decisions about programs of instruction, student services, learning materials and matters regarding student safety should be based on the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies aimed at promoting student achievement. School board trustees are ambassadors for student achievement and wellbeing in their local communities. Allocating resources. The most visible and signiďŹ cant policy that the board will approve is the annual budget. Board members participate in the budget process, ensuring that funding is aligned with board priorities and that all legislated obligations are taken into consideration. A board is legally required to ensure effective stewardship of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources and to ďŹ le a balanced budget.
StafďŹ ng. The director of education is the sole employee of the board; recruitment and evaluation of staff is delegated through the director to the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative leadership team. However, the school board is responsible for establishing policy governing all employment procedures, collective agreements, and other terms of employment. School facilities. The board is responsible for all matters related to facilities, including: maintenance, acquisition and disposal of sites; building renewal plans; and site operation. All policies relating to facilities must ďŹ rst take into consideration requirements related to the achievement and well-being of students of the board. Student supports. While school boards are primarily engaged in the provision of education services, they do so with regard for the promotion of student wellbeing. The board sets policies that guide the actions of administration and school staff in their dealings with students and their families. In this regard, issues such as student safety, student discipline, food services, attendance, matters related to health, and student transportation are signiďŹ cant matters for the attention of school board members. Advocacy. Trustees act as education advocates at various levels. At the local level, they work on behalf of the community and must consider the unique needs of that community when deciding what position to take on an issue. Trustees encourage constituents to participate in the school system. This aspect of their work can involve familiarizing people with the procedures for bringing their views before the board, such as through public or written submissions. As advocates for excellence in education, trustees may also act on constituent complaints or requests and help to ďŹ nd a resolution by working with appropriate board staff, usually the director of education. The trusteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as an education advocate often extends beyond the boundaries of the district school board. In the broader public domain, trustees are education advocates throughout the province and work with the provincial government in the interest of publicly funded education. They often liaise with members of the provincial government, the school system, and with local organizations or individuals in the community. Additional resources about the role of a school board trustee and the education system in Ontario can be found by visiting www. ocdsb.ca, www.edu.gov.on.ca or www.ontarioschooltrustees. org.

Liven up lunch with enchiladas Lifestyle - The word enchilada actually means “to season with chiles.” Red sauces are the most common style, but why not liven up your menu with this quick and easy recipe using a prepared Mexican green salsa made with tomatillos and green chilies. For a vegetarian option, substitute cooked black beans for chicken. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves four. INGREDIENTS
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 250 g (8 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 10 ml (2 tsp) ground coriander • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) pepper • 1 large clove garlic, minced • 425 ml 1-3/4 cups (425 mL) fresh corn kernels (two to three cobs) • 250 ml (1 cup) diced zucchini
• 175 ml (3/4 cup) diced sweet red pepper • 2 green onions, sliced • 500 ml (2 cups) Mexican green salsa (salsa verde) • 8, 18-centimetre (7-inch) flour or 16, 12-centimetre (5-inch) corn tortillas • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded TexMex cheese • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) diced field Tomatoes • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, cumin, coriander and pepper, and cook, stirring, for two to three minutes.

New Algonquin president to focus on enrollment, retention winter term, Miller said. Other priorities the board identified were improving the quality of the student experience, exploring international study opportunities and providing support for the college’s digital 2.0 initiative. Miller thanked the staff for their work in educating and supporting students. “It’s you (faculty) who help students to succeed and overcome the challenges of college,” Miller said. “It’s your blood, sweat and tears that make sure every student leaves here with a life-altering experience.”

to move the college forward. As part of her strategy, Jensen said the college would host two town halls in the fall, where community members, staff, faculty and students would be invited to give their input. “I was honoured to be chosen for this position,” Jensen said. “I truly believe this is the best college in Canada.” As part of the college’s path

Cheryl Jensen addresses students and staff during her first president’s breakfast at Algonquin College on Aug. 21.
COMMUNITY news
News - As part of her first president’s breakfast at Algonquin College, the new leader Cheryl Jensen said she would spend her first 100 days listening. Jensen, who officially began her term on Aug. 25 – four days after the college’s annual president’s breakfast on Aug. 21 – said she will take suggestions from students, faculty, staff and community members about which areas they’d like to see the college focus on. Jensen said she’d like an increase in student participation in orientation, as boosting term-to-term retention from 86 to 87 per cent. She said she’s excited with the gains the school has made in the last year. Just over the summer months there have been 57 new hires. “We want to do everything we can so when the 9,000 new first year students walk through our doors, they feel excited and supported,” Jensen said. To help meet that goal, Jensen pledged to create a student success strategy and said she planned to work with community and international partners
Aside from a commitment to student success, the college also pledged to help the community through the announcement of their annual United Way Campaign – which has raised more than $1.3 million since 1999, according to Jeremy McQuigge, chairman of the fundraising campaign. McQuigge said this year’s campaign will run from Oct. 10 to Oct. 31. While the college hasn’t put a dollar figure on this year’s goal, McQuigge did say he hopes to get employee participation up to 50 per cent and double the number of canvassers from last year.

Osgoode candidates gather for youth meeting emma.jackson@metroland.com
News – It was less a question of policy than of personality at an all-candidates information session hosted by the Osgoode Youth Association on Aug. 26. Eight of nine candidates registered to run in Ward 20 this fall came to the youth centre to explain their platforms and encourage young people to use their voice at the polls. Candidates Tom Dawson, George Darouze, George Wright, Jean JohnstonMcKitterick, Davis Jermacans, Liam Maguire, Bob Masaro and Kim Sheldrick all attended the event. Candidate Bruce Faulkner cancelled at the last minute. Each candidate had five minutes to talk about themselves, their background and their platform in this fall’s election that takes place Oct. 27. Each candidate took a slightly different approach to addressing the youth audience, but when it came to youth policy, most of the candidates were generally aligned. They all agreed that transportation to programs and activities outside of the ward needs to be improved, but that full OC Transpo service to rural villages is not the answer. They all wanted to see more recreational facilities in the ward, either through an extra ice pad, a swimming pool or more support for the youth centre they were standing in. Maguire was adamant that the cost of playing sports must be reduced to increase accessibility, while Dawson and Sheldrick wanted to see a splash pad in the ward. Several councillors mentioned the need for a youth advisory council that works with the new councillor to bring youth issues to the forefront, and others noted the importance of making sure Osgoode Ward gets its fair share of attention – and funding – around the council table. And they all agreed that youth must be engaged in the process. The meeting was not a de-
bate; rather it was a chance for voters aged 18 to 30 to see what candidates can offer them. While the room was packed, many of the spectators ended up being adult supporters of the candidates, rather than youth. However O-YA director Nicole McKerracher said she was impressed with the number of people who turned out.
“At the end of the event I was sticking around and I heard lots of good feedback from the youth themselves.” NICOLE MCKERRACHER, O-YA DIRECTOR
“It was hard to know what to expect,” she said. “At the end of the event I was sticking around and I heard lots of good feedback from the youth themselves. They were chatting about how much more informed they felt about the process and the candidates. The event had given them lots to think about.” Program co-ordinator Carley Scharf also felt the youth were energized by the chance to chat with candidates and get to know them on a personal level. “I think for young voters it’s not only about the policy, it’s about the person,” Scharf said. “You can get someone with great policy but who isn’t relatable, isn’t down to earth.” She said she heard youth chatting about which candidates had made a good impression, and which ones had fallen short – and several young people said they were reconsidering their original choice. “We even had a couple of kids under 18 who said, ‘I’m going to go home and tell my parents to vote for this person, because that’s who I want,’” Scharf said. The candidates will tackle policy platforms relating to the entire community at several all-candidate debates this fall.
The first is scheduled for Wed., Sept. 24 at the Metcalfe community centre. The Osgoode Community Association will host a debate on Wed., Oct. 1 at the Osgoode community centre, and Greely Community Association will host another the following Wed., Oct. 8 in the Greely community centre.
“A politician lives and dies by their vote,” he said. “You can make changes that have a lasting impact.”
TEACH ME HOW TO DOUGIE
Outgoing Coun. Doug Thompson opened the event with a short presentation about the role of a city councillor. “There’s no apprenticeship for this job,” said Thompson, who has been involved in local politics for more than 30 years. He will retire this fall after decades of leading Osgoode Township as councillor and mayor. “Whether we like it or not, politicians do have a great deal of power. There’s a huge responsibility that goes with this job.” He told the candidates to expect hundreds of calls and emails from residents asking about everything from garbage pick-up to road issues to neighbour disputes. Thompson said a personal response is the best way to relieve tension in the community, and recommended the new councillor keep on top of brewing issues in order to deal with them effectively. He also recommended that the next councillor try to help their residents with issues even when they’re not in the councillor’s jurisdiction. School bus issues, for example, are not a councillor’s responsibility, but residents bring the problems to the office anyway. Helping them navigate the system to get in touch with the right person goes a long way in making a good impression, Thompson said. “People appreciate it when you take that extra effort,” he said. Thompson said, most of all, a candidate must make informed decisions at council or face the lasting ramifications of their error – something he said the current council is dealing with through the botched Orgaworld contract.
