Day camp reaches out to disabled Ottawans Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - As a child struggling with learning disabilities, Christina Ranieri was told time and again that there was something wrong with her. She didn’t listen to them, and is now counting down the days until she opens the door to her new summer day-camp program for children and adults with developmental disabilities.

It is the ďŹ rst program being offered through Ranieri’s non-proďŹ t organization, Christy’s Integration, Skills, Day program and Educational Programs for persons with disabilities. CISDEP, as it is known, launched in December. It allows the 27-year-old South Keys resident to pour her training as a developmental service worker into providing respite care for families.

Firefighters contain Herongate row-house fire Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Firefighters snuffed out a fire in a row house before it could spread to neighbouring units in Herongate on Sunday, June 29.

Damage to the unit at 2830 Sandalwood Dr. has been estimated at $25,000, but residents did not have to find alternate accommodation and no injuries were reported, according to fire officials.

The cause of the fire was still being investigated by the Ottawa fire department Monday morning, June 30. Fire crews received a number of 911 calls to the rental community at 9:26 p.m. Additional firefighters

were called in at 9:35 p.m. In all, about 15 fire trucks were on scene as a precaution in the event the fire had spread. “It began in a pathway in between the row housing so there were exposures (neighbouring units) on either side,” said Lieut. Nancy Delbianco, who works in the fire department’s communications centre.

“When you’re talking about housing that’s so close together and actually connected with a wall, things can spread really quickly.” By the time the fire was called in to emergency responders, the flames were on the outside of the row-housing units in the roof area. The flames were brought under control at 9:45 p.m.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 3, 2014

News - Only a few days before Canada Day, 40 families officially became Canadian citizens at a special ceremony held at Brewer Park. The event was organized by the Catholic Immigration Centre of Ottawa and took place during the organization’s annual Community Cup event on June 28. The forty families swore an oath to Canada in both official languages before receiving their certificates. For new Canadian Samir El-Tawil, the ceremony was an emotional one. Both El-Tawil and his wife, Rula Agarshi, like many of the other new Canadians were wiping away

“You wait a long time ... This is a great day.” SAMIR EL-TAWIL

“You wait a long time,” he said. “This is a great day.” The special ceremony saw appearances by politicians and dignitaries, who offered words of wisdom to the new Canadians as well as as a special welcome gift: each new Canadian received a one-year pass admitting them for free to any Parks Canada park and a discount for travel within the country to encourage everyone to discover all Canada has to offer.

Young players with the Gloucester Lacrosse Association meet Ottawa resident Callum Crawford, who plays for the National Lacrosse League’s Minnesota Swarm, during a celebration of Lacrosse Day in Canada at the Fred Barrett Arena in Leitrim on June 21.

Ottawa lacrosse players rub shoulders with idol Staff

Sports - Players with the Gloucester Lacrosse Association recently rubbed shoulders with one of their idols: an Ottawa resident who currently plays in the National Lacrosse League. Callum Crawford, who plays for the Minnesota Swarm, shared tips and lacrosse knowledge with house-league and competitive players, who showcased their talent during lacrosse games held on June 21 at the Brian Kilrea Arena in Elmvale Acres and at Leitrim’s Fred Barrett Arena. “(Crawford) is a former GLA player and with many lacrosse players aspiring to the National Lacrosse League this was a great opportunity for them to connect with an NLL player,” Carol Brazeau, a member of the association’s executive, said in a statement. The National Lacrosse League is North America’s professional indoor lacrosse league, and includes nine teams in Canada and the United States. The recent event marked the end of the house-league season for the lacrosse association. More than 600 people, from ages four to 21, played in the association’s house-league and competitive programs over the past season. Lacrosse is considered the fastest game on two feet, Brazeau said. The day-long celebration was also held in celebration of Lacrosse Day in Canada, which encourages lacrosse players across the country to unit in support of people in need. The La-

crosse Day program includes the message of building strength and community. As part of that program, the association’s members generated more than $200 for the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard, which will use the funds to purchase milk, eggs, school snacks, cereal, pasta and canned goods for people in need, Brazeau said. For more information about the Gloucester Lacrosse Association, please visit gloucester lacrosse.com. For details on Lacrosse Day in Canada, go online to lacrossedayincanada.ca.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 3, 2014

Respite program in Riverside South serves outlying areas Continued from page 1

“As a person with disabilities myself, I see what families go through,� Ranieri said. “Families are struggling. “Governments put so much pressure on the families to be the main caregivers, but give so little funding for relief time that it starts to affect their own health,� she explained. “And then some felt they either have to give up their children to the system or they don’t know where to go.� Aging parents pass away and their children – who are often grown up, but still can’t live on their own – end up in the care of various organizations. “It’s happening so much,� Ranieri said. “And that was the main motivation to do CISDEP, because we have no waiting list.� The summer camp takes place Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, July 7 to Aug. 15, from noon to 4 p.m., at Steve MacLean Public School in Riverside South. The cost is $60 per day. Ranieri knows what it

means to navigate life with a learning disability, and realize her dreams regardless of any challenges. In addition to having directional dyslexia, she also has attention-deďŹ cit hyperactivity disorder. Her career as an on-call relief worker for the Ottawa Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities has given her some perspective on the needs of those she helps. The waiting lists are long for families trying to access programs, Ranieri said, noting that families living on the outskirts have the added challenge of having to drive in to the city to access services. Ranieri herself provides care-giving services to a number of people living on the fringes of Ottawa, where she said the need is the greatest, including Manotick, Kars, Osgoode, North Gower and Barrhaven. “The issue is that there isn’t enough funding for programs,â€? Ranieri said. Her own organization is so new that it must rely on fund-

“I just want to help people with disabilities reach their dream as well ... I want to inspire them to do better, to have jobs that they like that pay reasonable or to find friends.� CHRISTINA RANIERI

raising. She’s thankful for community minded people coming forward to volunteer their time to help raise money through music nights, bake sales and a board-game night. A garage sale and barbecue is planned for July 5. “We’ve had some success, but I’m actually the one paying for the rent (for the summer day camp),� she said. Although just one person has signed up so far for summer-camp programming in July, and another four are signed up in August, Ranieri said she believes she’s making a difference one family at a time. “My program makes sure the parents get a little relief time where they can go and do groceries and go and socialize and feel less stressed, that

maybe they can keep their kids home longer, if need be.â€? And unlike some developmental service workers who specialize in working with people with speciďŹ c disabilities, Ranieri said she has experience working with people with different types of challenges, from autism, and learning disabilities such as attention-deďŹ cit hyperactivity disorder and attentiondeďŹ cit disorder to cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Downs syndrome. Ranieri said she also knows what it’s like being the primary

training and volunteer mentorship opportunities through her non-proďŹ t. “I just want to help people with disabilities reach their dream as well,â€? Ranieri said. “I want to inspire them to do better, to have jobs that they like that pay reasonable or to ďŹ nd friends.â€? She said that while one day she hopes to run CISDEP full time, for now she’s passionate about helping participants in her program achieve their full potential. “I can’t bear the thought of letting them down,â€? she said. “I know what they’re feeling.â€? To celebrate the launch of CISDEP, and to help raise funds for programming, a barbecue and garage sale, featuring music, special guests and games, will be held on July 5, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 1250 Southwood Dr. For more information about the organization, its summer day camp program or to volunteer, visit cisdep.org.

caregiver of a loved one – her mother has Parkinson’s. “Funding was even cut for my own mother’s care,� she said. Summer day camp will be offered by Ranieri and two of her staff members for people ages 10 to 70. She chose such a wide age range because of a gap in services for people with developmental disabilities. “A lot of them don’t have services after they graduate from high school. Their funding is drastically cut,� she explained. “We started at (age) 10 because that’s when the cuts start happening.� Day-camp programming will include life-skills training, helping participants build a social network, fostering their independence, building self esteem and connecting them to recreational activities. Ranieri is also offering adult skills

Residents weigh in on Bank Street design changes Traffic flow, pedestrian and cyclist safety factored into design Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Many residents of Greenboro and South Keys communities want to live in a neighbourhood that has a village feel, say city officials who are in the process of developing a community design plan, based on public input, for the area. “Inspirationally, people really like Westboro, Mechanicsville, and the Glebe and Preston Street for the vision,” city planner Jillian Savage told more than 100 residents who attended a second open house on the proposed vision at the Greenboro Community Centre on June 23. “Essentially people like a village feel,” she said. “They like attractive streetscaping and are wanting a variety of shops and restaurants and meeting places, and just more of an urban feel for the study area.” The refined design recommendations, which would set the stage for long-term development along Bank Street, from South Keys to Blossom Park, were unveiled at the meeting, based on feedback received through consultants, residents and public and business-advisory groups, as well as input received during the first open house in February. The study area stretches for about 3.4 kilometres along Bank Street, from the Canadian National Railway tracks near Johnston Road to Queensdale Avenue, and encompasses the South Keys Shopping Centre, the Green-

boro and South Keys transit stations, the Jewish Memorial Gardens, residential communities, a light-industrial area as well as a portion of Sawmill Creek. Residents who have weighed in on the project have criticized the current condition of sidewalks in the area, as well as the proximity of pedestrians and automobiles and poor cycling lanes, all which have been addressed in the plan, said Savage. Sidewalks would be installed the in the study area, crosswalks would be added, along with a cycling track to provide a safer dedicated space for cyclists, as well as bike storage near transit stations. “Why wait ‘til something like this to get (sidewalks) down?,” said Mike Shaw, who lives near Bank Street and Albion Road. “Maybe there’s not enough people walking in this city.” Coun. Diane Deans, who represents the GloucesterSouthgate Ward, said the proposed redesign will go a long way to improving safety and alleviating speeding in the community over the long term. “Certainly, sharing the road differently will help to address that because it will make it safer for pedestrians, it will make it safer for cyclists and it will force drivers to slow down because they’ll have less road to use,” she said. The design changes also take into account the need for better traffic flow, given that

a number of intersections in the community are backed up during commute times, such as Bank Street and Hunt Club Road. “Obviously we know the south end of the city is growing rapidly and there’s plans for that to continue,” said Adam Howell, a transportation engineer with MMM Group, which has been contracted by the city. He said the plan includes features that promote the use of transit, as well as improve pedestrian and cycling routes. Other proposed design elements include a mixed-use office and commercial district near the South Keys transit plaza, as well as up to 15storey height allowances for future buildings constructed around Hunt Club Road and Bank Street. A Main Street and a new centrally-located town square would be created, which could feature seasonal markets and offer a gathering space, Savage said. “The point is, you can comfortably and safely walk along Main Street as really an experience, as opposed to what there is today, which is a lot of people actually drive and then park,” she said. “This is more of a pedestrian experience.” Several neighbourhood parks would be created under the plan, two proposed community facilities would be strategically located to potentially provide gallery spaces and a library, said Savage. The redesign also leaves

Queensdale Avenue resident Franco Falbo, left, and Blossom Park resident Jay Hunt look over display boards depicting several of the city’s Bank Street design recommendations that were presented at a second open house on the issue at the Greenboro Community Centre on June 23. Residents, property owners and business owners have until July 28 to submit feedback on the proposed community design plan. room for possible future development on underdeveloped land at the Greenboro transit station, “which could be better used than it is today,” she said. “This is an area with potential long-term growth. You may never see this area change, however if operations dictate that we could look to … relocate the Greenboro park-and-ride, this is a vision for that area,” she explained. When asked by residents

when the changes would take effect, Savage said the plan will be implemented gradually over time as properties are redeveloped, possibly over the next five to 10 years. The transit stations will likely see change first, she said. “Often times those are most desirable for property developers,” said Savage. “However, this is a long-term plan, so it could take 20 or more years to see all of these

changes be introduced.” A third open house in the fall will reveal the final recommendations for the plan. The final design package will likely be presented before council early next year. Residents as well as property and business owners have until July 28 to submit feedback on the proposed design plan by emailing southbankstreetCDP@ottawa.ca, or calling Jillian Savage at 613580-2424, ext. 14970.

Living under the gun

O

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

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

Is it time for a new Canadian mythology?

C

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

Many questions arise, one of which concerns the fact that a mere 17 per cent of us can still clog the highways on the way to the lake. Imagine if we all did what we expect ourselves to do, namely head out of town.

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

Now we have to contemplate the idea that the typical Canadian spends his summer weekends cowering in an apartment, wearing shoes and watching Netflix in the air conditioning. But can you do that, be a city person, and feel like a real Canadian in the summertime? The consolation is that you are in good company. On any given long weekend, the great majority of the population is with you, smelling the exhaust fumes and not hearing loons. So maybe what you should be doing, while the other 17 per cent frolic in the lake, is come up with a brand new Canadian mythology. Perhaps the mythical new Canadian is an environmentalist who cuts greenhouse gas emissions by not driving on the weekends. Perhaps he is a nature lover who spares the birds and animals the terror of fireworks going off in the middle of the night. EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Mind your head: timely advice for parents, kids

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

tingling in arms and legs and any noticeable sharp behavioural changes. One of the things Zemek stresses is to pull kids out of activities immediately if there’s even a suspicion a child has suffered concussion. First aid should be performed immediately. Helmets should be left intact in case there is damage to the spinal cord. With mounting evidence of the long term negative impact of untreated concussion on children’s development, the most important treatment recommendations are around rest. Too often, says Zemek,

Monarch ďŹ rst.

children suffer concussion but are not given the appropriate time outs they require from both intellectual and physical pursuits. In order for the brain to heal appropriately, for example, kids need to truly rest in a low light environment, including the absence of screen technology. “The child should not exercise, go to school or do any activities that make them worse, like riding a bike, playing wrestling, working on the computer or playing video games,� state the guidelines for parents. “If your child goes back to activities before they are completely better, they are more likely to get worse and have symptoms longer.� One thing that I found most startling in the guidelines is the length of time for recovery from concussion. After 15 days, 25 per cent of children are fully recovered. After 26 days, about half of kids are ready to return to

normal activity. But it can take 90 days or more for the majority of kids to feel completely normal. The comprehensive recommendations also offer a return-to-normal activity schedule for kids that have suffered concussion, varying from complete rest to limited

My children enthusiastically embrace the outdoors, including camping, climbing and all the outdoor sports which have time limited seasons in Canada’s short non-winter months. With all these activities come inherent risks, of course. One of the most concerning for many parents, including me, is the risk of concussion. Until recently, I wouldn’t have had a clue what concussion symptoms look like, particularly if my child suffers without losing consciousness. This changed last month.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 3, 2014

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy 4th of July Happy Independence Day to all of our American relatives and friends.

Mural to Brighten Up Local Underpass The underpass at the Riverside Drive and Bronson Avenue bridge is receiving a mural created with images that reflect and depict local culture, history or visions of artistic expression. Outdoor murals are effective in managing graffiti, support arts and culture, and contribute to economic development. The underpass will feature a mural celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Canada’s Confederation in 2017 on one side, and a local artist will design and install a community inspired mural on the opposite wall. The artwork is expected to be completed by the end of August, 2014.

Paddles Up! Rideau Canoe Club to Host Canadian Spirit Canoe/Kayak Championships Last week, I was thrilled to be at the Rideau Canoe Club to celebrate the announcement that CanoeKayak Canada named the Rideau Canoe Club as host of the National Paddling Competition taking place in August 2015. Nearly 2,000 athletes from canoe and kayak clubs from across Canada will compete in the 200, 500, 1,000 and 5,000 metre races. The event will be held from August 25 to 29, 2015. On August 30, the club will host the Canadian Master’s Championships. Congratulations Rideau!!

News - Joan Sweeney was in Grade 13 when she told her art teacher she was seriously considering going to university to pursue her passion for designing sets and costumes for plays. “And that’s when he said, deadpan, right to my face, ‘Don’t bother. You have no talent,’” the Hawthorne Meadows resident recalled. Sadly, she listened to him and dropped out of school, though thankfully armed with a Grade 12 diploma. It would be several years before she followed much better advice, this time from the children in a youth group at Resurrection of Our Lord Parish she had been leading, who told her she’d make a great teacher. Sean Kelly, principal of St. Patrick’s Intermediate School at 1485 Heron Rd., where Sweeney has taught art, religion and English to Grade 7 and 8 students for the past 14 years, said she is not just great, she is a role model for other educators. For that reason, and many more, he nominated Sweeney for a Capital Educators’ Award. To Sweeney’s surprise, she was among four teachers within the Ottawa Catholic School Board to win the award during the 13th EduGala, hosted by the Ottawa Network for Education at Algonquin College last month.

university. The mother of three not only completed her bachelor degree, she went on to earn her teaching degree, followed by her master’s degree. She was hired by St. Patrick’s Intermediate School fresh out of university at the age of 40. As an artist herself, she said she has a natural inclination to think outside the box in her classroom. She also credits her students for inspiring her and directing some of the work they do. “The kids will really drive you to think in a new way,” said Sweeney. She is constantly adapting her teaching style to meet the needs of her students and challenge them in ways that will prepare them for the future. “Grade 8 is pivotal,” she said of her older students. “We have a lot of skills we want them to have and try to help them have all of the advantages that they can, especially because we have some kids that are very impoverished, and we want them to have access as well.” Over the past school year, she partnered her classes with seniors at Billings Lodge for a project in which students and seniors shared their experiences about being stereotyped because of their age. “It certainly had the kids thinking and the seniors as well,” said Sweeney’s principal.

Don’t let anybody blow that little spark out’: teacher Continued from page 12

The students then shared their stories about working with seniors with students at a school in central Mexico. “They analyzed what that (experience) was like here in our community, but then compared it to the experiences that the students in Mexico had doing the same thing in their community,” Kelly said. Throughout the project, Sweeney’s students worked with seniors, used technology to connect to peers in Mexico, and by the end of the year they and the seniors had created an artistic mural that now hangs in the school. “I walked into the classroom one time ... and there’s a group of kids from Mexico on screen talking about their experience with the seniors,” Kelly said. “It’s commonplace in her classroom that those activities are taking place.” Sweeney’s classroom is the most technologically connected in the school, and she encourages her students to bring in technology that interests them. “I think a textbook would burst into flames if it ever came close to Joan’s classroom,” Kelly said. “She doesn’t need them.” Sweeney also works closely with software developers who appreciate her feedback on what does and doesn’t work when it comes to products engaging students. “It kind of blows my mind in that she takes it to that level,” said Kelly. Teachers shouldn’t be teaching kids for the skills they need today, he said. “It’s about looking forward. The way Joan integrates technology is exactly what the kids need to be learning for the future,” he explained. Sweeney said while the curriculum drives learning in the classroom, she regularly investigates new ways to engage students to learn, whether that’s through technology or linking with other community partners – both locally and globally.

“I love this idea where you start with kind of a concept and then investigate it and see if we can connect things to it and let the kids kind of drive where we’re going to go and then I set the curriculum,” she said. While at an Adobe conference

South Ottawa resident Elysia Smith, 24, celebrates winning $1,000 a week for the rest of her life at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s prize officer in Toronto on June 18.

South Ottawa resident, 24, wins cash for life Elysia Smith now plans to return to school and become a police officer Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Even before recently winning $1,000 a week for the rest of her life, south Ottawa resident Elysia Smith already felt like she’d hit the jackpot.

ottawa

“Everybody’s been really supportive,� the 24-year-old said a week after scratching three matching Life symbols on a $4 Instant Cash for Life ticket she purchased on June 15. “The main focus is my family and friends. I love them all

and I honestly, with or without the money, wouldn’t change my life. I’ve been really grateful so far.� Still, on long drives to visit her parents at their Lanark Highlands farm every Sunday, Smith often daydreamed about winning the lottery. Now that her dream has come true, she plans to take a trip to the Bahamas and help her best friend celebrate her

upcoming birthday. Thanks to her win, Smith also plans to enroll in full-time post secondary criminology studies in September 2015 in the hopes of one day becoming an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. “I take it as a really great opportunity, and I feel really, really privileged,� she said.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES

‘Every week I live is a good week’: winner

I have been advocating making this project a top priority for the City, given the growth in the Leitrim and Findlay Creek communities. This is an important infrastructure project that will help support the pedestrian, transit and cycling objectives in the area. The project will help improve the connectivity in the area for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists and will offer local Leitrim and Findlay Creek residents improved infrastructure to reach destinations such as local parks, shopping areas and the Fred Barrett Arena. The project will also help alleviate some of the peak hour traffic pressures and transit delays through the Bank Street corridor. To view a complete copy of the report, please visit www.stevedesroches.ca. Tour of Lansdowne Park I recently had the pleasure of touring Lansdowne Park and TD Place Stadium. I was amazed by the level of detail and the amount of work that has gone into the area. The newly renovated facility will allow the City of Ottawa the opportunity of attracting major events to the city. Next summer we are welcoming the athletes, spectators and media from across the country and around the world for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. It is an opportunity to showcase our beautiful capital city to the world while generating significant investment in our local economy.

Got Events?

D A E R P S E TH

D R WO NEW

The plan for the new Lansdowne includes a renovated stadium and Civic Centre, a new city park next to the Rideau Canal and a lively urban village linked to Bank Street with a mixture of stores, restaurants, residences and public spaces. The Lansdowne redevelopment project will create 18.5 acres of park and will include 880 trees. I am pleased to see this historic and important City project coming to completion.

It is projected that the city’s senior population will more than double by the year 2031 and the Perley and Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre plays a significant role in supporting and caring for Ottawa’s growing population of seniors. My congratulations to Capital Campaign Co-Chairs, Grete Hale and General (Ret’d) Rick Hillier for their ongoing efforts towards meeting the needs of seniors in our community.

Please contact me if I can be of assistance. (613) 580-2751 Steve.Desroches@Ottawa.ca www.SteveDesroches.ca Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Support Local Businesses – Shop Locally!

The widening of Bank Street is identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP). Given the cost, size and scope of the project it is recommended to have the construction take place in a phased approach. Construction for the first phase of the project is identified in phase 2 of the TMP. This work would include the widening of Bank Street from Leitrim Road to Findlay Creek Drive including widening Leitrim Road to four lanes through the intersection at Bank Street. The work would also include paved shoulders along Bank Street north of Leitrim to Kemp Park Drive and sidewalks and cycling lanes along Leitrim Road east of Bank Street to access the Fred Barrett Arena.

Since then, Smith said she has been on the receiving end of numerous friendly suggestions on what to do with her windfall. “Obviously people are really, really excited, because they all have suggestions or they talk about what they would like to do,� she said. “It’s honestly nice to hear what everybody else thinks.� But she’s taking the advice of her parents and her closest friends more to heart. “They loved me before this, so they just want what’s best for me,� said Smith. “They’ve always wanted that which is why (I) value their opinion.� For now, she plans to continue working, and have a little fun before she returns to school. “It’s great because I’m 24, so I’ve got my whole life to make the most of this, and that’s all I want to do,� Smith said of winning the lifetime weekly cash prize. “Every week I live is a good week.�

Bank Street Widening Environmental Assessment The City’s Transportation Committee has approved the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the future Bank Street Widening Project from Leitrim Road to Rideau Road. The EA is a prerequisite for the design and construction stage of major infrastructure projects in the City of Ottawa.

“It’s one of those things where you just feel so grateful because you never think something like this will happen to you.� Following her mom’s suggestion, Smith bought a Cash for Life ticket to put her in a Father’s Day card on June 15 at the Esso Riverside Tiger Express at 3705 Riverside Dr. She actually bought two tickets – one for her dad and the other for herself, which she left in her car and promptly forgot about until two days later on June 17. That’s when she remembered the ticket and scratched it while

freaked out, actually believed that it was real,� she said. The first thing she did was call her father. “He was driving and I told him to pull over, and I told him that I won and I was still pretty calm at this point,� she said, adding that while she was able to keep a level head, she was still shaking. “My dad just started screaming, he was so excited. He was so happy. You never heard someone so excited before.� After his cheers died down, he paused and said, ‘Young lady, you are going back to school,’ Smith said with a laugh. “He’s been trying to get me to go back to school for quite some time.� Smith attended Algonquin College for one year to study prehealth sciences, before going on to begin undergraduate studies in biology at Carleton University. She stuck it out for two years before she decided she wasn’t enjoying the program as much as she should. “I love school. It’s just school is really expensive, especially when you don’t know what you want to do,� Smith said. She soon quit to focus on her full-time position at the grocery store.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 3, 2014

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

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

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

because her family has a home in Florida, but said she wanted to participate north of the border because that’s where her home is. “It really helps build your confidence,” Wang said of competitions. “It’s really a lot more than just looking pretty.” In addition to essay questions, Miss Teenage Canada

hopefuls have to maintain social-media platforms and raise money for the charity Free the Children. The participant who raises the most money would fast track to the contest’s top 20 spots and has a chance to go on a Free the Children mission trip. Each girl also raises awareness through her social-media platform for a cause that is

special to them. In Wang’s case she wants people to adopt animals from shelters rather than buying from stores. “I really think the work the Ottawa Humane Society does is great,” she said. “We got our dog there.” Wang said her participation in pageants has helped to increase her social skills.

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

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

News - A Nepean student is angling to be named the country’s most beautiful teen. Karina Wang, who attends Asbury College, was named Miss Teenage Ottawa in January. Since being crowned in

the capital, Wang, 14, has appeared at the Tulip Festival and Epilepsy Day. She also competed in the provincial competition – earning the third spot and making her eligible to compete in the Miss Teenage Canada competition to be held July 13 to 19 in Toronto. Wang previously competed in pageants in the U.S.

“When most people think about pageants, they think about (TV series) Toddlers and Tiaras. It’s not what you see on television,” she said, adding a lot of people are surprised she competes. “I don’t seem like the type of person they’d associate with it,” she said. “But it motivates me to get involved in my community.” This year’s Miss Teenage Canada will be named on July 26. To learn more about Karina, visit her Facebook page Miss Teenage Ottawa 2014.

There were no problems during the execution of either warrants, he said. “There is always an element of danger present … the tactical guys are very good at what they do and (the warrants) were safely executed. There were no injuries,” said McDonell. The locations were both rendered safe by hydro workers after tactical units searched the premises. Both persons charged were released on a promise to appear.

Police seized hundreds of marijuana plants and three vehicles after executing two search warrants in relation to an investigation into a marijuana grow operation on June 17.

ottawa

News - Two people have been charged after police busted a grow operation in Bridlewood where more than $1 million worth of marijuana was seized on June 17. Police executed warrants for two locations, one in the 100 block of Speers Crescent, the other in the 2900 block of Richmond Road. A 46-year-old man was charged with production and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and theft of electricity worth more than $5,000. The man was caught leaving the Speers Crescent residence as a police tactical unit searched the premises, said McDonell. A 35-year-old woman was also charged jointly with the man for possession of proceeds of crime worth more than $5,000. The main marijuana grow operation was at the Bridlewood location, with 957 marijuana plants seized along with 4,971 grams of dried marijuana. Together, they are valued at $1,006,710. Three vehicles were also seized, one from the Richmond Road location along with documentary evidence, said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell with the Ottawa police drug unit. A 2013 BMW and a 2006 Toyota minivan were seized as offence-related property, while a 2011 BMW X6 was seized as proceeds of crime. McDonell described the grow operation as “substantial,” saying

he normally would expect a marijuana grow op to have 300 to 400 plants. While the majority of the plants would usually be found in a basement, this grow op had plants growing on all three floors of the house, he said. “For us, it’s a very good day,” said McDonell about the results of the bust. “You take a million dollars, you take three vehicles out of it, it does make a bit of a dent, so we are very happy with the results of (the investigation),” he said. Officers had been looking into the two locations over the course of several weeks, said McDonell, conducting surveillance and collecting enough evidence to get a warrant. Though McDonell could not speak specifically to this investigation, he said police look for the telltale signs of a marijuana grow operation. That includes large amounts of condensation on windows, excess heat, someone coming and going at regular intervals with little to no other signs of occupancy, and water discharge from the overhang of a building’s roof. “Your average residential house isn’t made to be turned into a green house, which is basically is what they do,” said McDonell. This results in a dangerous environment, as the house is usually rewired to provide more heat and light. “(Grow op houses) do pose a fire hazard,” said McDonell, as the rewiring is not always done safely.

Public, media key in bank spree arrest: police Four banks robbed in two days

Michael Haarbosch. Haarbosch said he would not release the location where he was arrested, or exactly what it was that led to locating the man, but said the help of the public and media were key. “(Media and public assistance) directly led to the quick arrest,” said Haarbosch. The 34-year-old man was charged in relation to four bank robberies, two of which occurred on June 23, and two on June 24. Both days, the bank robberies occurred in banks very close to each other, and within a time span of a few hours.

News - A 34-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with four counts of robbery after a two-day bank theft spree ended with the help of the public and media. The man was arrested by plainclothes Ottawa police officers while on a street the morning of June 25, said robbery unit Staff Sgt.

“That’s not something we see very often,” said Haarbosch. The June 23 robberies took place in banks in the 1400 block of Richmond Rd, while the June 24 robberies occurred in the 400 and 500 blocks of Hazeldean Rd. All four robberies unfolded in the same way, say police. Each time, a suspect, described as a 1.8 metre tall white man with a thin build wearing a bright orange, construction-style jacket, provided a note to a bank teller demanding money, says an Ottawa police news release. The suspect then fled the premises with a quantity of cash. Police would not disclose the amounts taken, but said a small quantity of cash was recovered from the 34-year-old upon arrest. Haarbosch noted that, while no weapon was seen, the man who committed the robberies “insinuated a weapon was present.” Whether or not a weapon is present is irrelevant to police, said Haarbosch, as a suspect is treated as potentially armed nonetheless.

The only significant difference it makes is moving forward with the charges after they are laid as far as potential sentencing goes,” he said. Haarbosch called the arrest “a great result for all the units that were involved. “Given the way these unfolded, two robberies in two consecutive days, we can expect that they would have continued had an arrest not been made,” he said. “We feel that in all likelihood we prevented additional robberies from occurring as well as a result of the arrest,” said Haarbosch. He added that the help of the public and the media in distributing information and photos, and helping to identify the suspect was “incredibly useful,” saying that assistance from both groups “directly led to the quick arrest.” Police ask that anyone with information with respect to these robberies or others contact the robbery unit at 613236-1222 ext.5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Glebe residents reject fire station path Mostly sharrows planned for city’s first neighbourhood bike network Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A proposed multi-use pathway alongside the Glebe fire station drew criticism at a meeting where residents got a look at plans for a cycling net-

work for the neighbourhood. The path is the biggest-ticket item and city staff said it’s the best way to complete the north-south cycling facility on O’Connor Street, which will stretch from Parliament Hill to Lansdowne Park. The section

of path in question would divert cyclists off the one-block stub of O’Connor just before Lansdowne. It’s a one-way northbound street and there isn’t enough room to put bi-directional bike lanes on the street to let cyclists move north and southbound from Lansdowne. But the path would connect with an existing recreational pathway in Sylvia Holden Park, which would result in cyclists

zooming through the middle of the park with children crossing and playing all around, said Glebe residents. “You’re going to have kids running around pell-mell with cyclists biking through,� said Elizabeth Ballard, who pleaded with staff and Capital Coun. David Chernushenko to come up with a better solution. A better solution would be to remove the sidewalk along that one-block section of O’Connor and make it into a multi-use path along the road with bollards separating it from the park, she said. Megan Dewar, a parent who lives on that block of O’Connor, was also concerned. She said she’d prefer to see a bi-directional bike lane on the street, which would turn the corner and continue to a bidirectional lane proposed for Holmwood Avenue, which is also a oneway street. Parking would have to be moved to the opposite side of the street, Dewar said. “The existing pathway is a route around the park,� Dewar said, adding that it’s use by small children on tricycles who do circuits around the path. Other than the pathway proposal, most residents at a June 25 information said the plans looked fine. The only other downside mentioned by Glebe residents was the proliferation of “sharrows� rather than lines painted to delineate a bike lane. Sharrows are bike and arrow markings indicating cyclists and vehicles should share the space. Heidi Cousineau, the city planner in charge of the Glebe bike network project, said there simply isn’t enough space in many areas for a dedicated bike lane, which must be 1.5 metres wide according to the provincial

City staffer Heidi Cousineau, left, speaks with Glebe resident Elizabeth Ballard at an information session presenting plans for a neighbourhood cycling network for the Glebe on June 25. Highway Traffic Act. Reducing the need to eliminate on-street parking spaces was also a concern, especially since there will be a traffic and parking monitoring program in place once Lansdowne Park opens later this month, Cousineau said. However, the cycling network would eliminate five parking spaces on Fifth Avenue between Murial and Gordon. Barbara Riley, a Glebe resident who uses her bike to get around, said the city needs to launch a public education campaign to explain to cyclists and motorists how sharrows are supposed to be used. In some cases, Riley said she thinks cyclists and motorists are supposed to proceed single-file where there are sharrow markings, but on other streets, it seems that bicycles and vehicles can proceed sideby-side. Several residents said they hoped the city would reduce the speed limit on streets that have bike lanes. The current limit on most residential streets in the Glebe is 40 km/h. Cousineau

said speed-limit reductions aren’t being considered. Dewar said the new cycling lanes and markings will improve cyclists’ ability to get around the Glebe, but the lanes stop at Bronson Avenue. “That’s a terrifying street to bike on,� Dewar said. “The city has a bad habit of not connecting bike lanes to each other.� The total budget for the project is $600,000. Work will start this summer and it doesn’t require any additional approval from the city’s transportation committee. Up first will be projects that help facilitate access to Lansdowne Park, Cousineau said. Facilities on Fifth Avenue will be completed along with ongoing work to signalize the intersection at Queen Elizabeth Drive, Cousineau said. Further discussion will be needed to figure out a way to better align Percy and Craig streets at Fifth Avenue.

Sky high charity event a success Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Why walk or run when you can rappel off a 14storey building to help raise money for charity? That is the question that the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario asked itself when it was trying to come up with a new fundraising initiative. “Everyone is doing runs and walks for charity,� said director Mike Wlotzki. Having rappelled off a building in Toronto for charity, Wlotzki figured why not try it in Ottawa. And so the first Rope for Hope arrived in Ottawa and asked people to rappel off the 14-storey Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Overbrook on June 28. In total, the foundation had 50 eager participants who had to raise at least $1,500 to drop off the side of the building, and although many of these participants began to feel less eager as their turn came closer, they overcame their fears

to help out a worthy cause. St. Pius X High School raised $1,650 to have one of their teachers take up the challenge. Although she’s afraid of heights, teacher Michelle Gauthier said she was braving it for the greater good. “It’s important,� Gauthier said. “We had a student whose brother was sick and who had a wish come true through Make-A-Wish. That made the school realize how special the foundation is. So you can’t say no.� Down on the ground, Dave Newby of Promomedia was happy to have two feet planted firmly on the ground again following his descent. “Oh my gosh, it was exhilarating, frightening and terrifying – but satisfying at the end,� Newby said. Tanya Desjardins, chief operating officer of the foundation, said this event is something the organization is looking at expanding and making it an annual event, with the exception of possibly changing the weekend it takes place, as the weekend before Canada

Day had some participants opt out because they were going away, but if it’s OK with the hotel, the foundation would love to keep the location. “It’s perfect, there is a lot of room and the hotel has been great,� Desjardins said. Wlotzki agreed, saying that when he approached the hotel, it didn’t take much convincing for the company to say yes. “It’s for a good cause,� assistant general manager Gilles Lebrun said. Although the hotel has never had people rappelling off the side of their building before, Lebrun added it was cool to see the participants brave the height. As part of the proof that Newby and others made it MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND from top to bottom, each participant had their photo taken Ottawa Redblacks cheerleader Brittany Leigh takes a moment before dropping 14 with a sign reading “I did it.� storeys down the side of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel on June 28.

Kanata man uses woodworking passion to honour Lanark sea cadets Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - It’s taken six years and hundreds of hours of work, but wood-working hobbyist Luc Renaud was happy to present the Lanark Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps with his model of their namesake ship on June 6. The more than two-metre long model of the HMCS Lanark includes approximately 2,500 individual pieces, said the Kanata resident, though he admits he eventually stopped counting. “It was a ridiculous number,” he said. Taking six years and 789 hours to make, Renaud said the ship is the biggest model he’s ever made, and the longest project he’s had. But it was worth it for Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps 211 which helped to mold his two sons into fine young men, he said. “To say thank you, I decided to build (the corps’) own ship,” said Renaud. The corps had known about his project, and were happy to see the final product at its ceremonial parade on June 6. “It’s an honour (to receive the ship),” said the corps’ commanding officer, Daniel Denief.

SUBMITTED

Wood-working hobbyist Luc Renaud displays the more than two-metre long model of the HMCS Lanark he made for the Lanark Royal Canadian Sea Corps. “The quality of workmanship and the time put into it is phenomenal.” Every sea cadet corps in Canada is named after a particular ship, said Denief. He described the model as a link to the past, and a way for cadets to see a bit of their history. “They can look at it and say, ‘Hey, this is where we came from,’” he said. Now, the ship rests permanently mounted at the corps’ headquarters at 137 John St. where people can see it

every Thursday night between 6 and 9 p.m. during the corps’ bingo night. The weekly event is the corps’ most important fundraiser, allowing them to continue operating. Those at the first bingo night after the ship was put in place were amazed, said Denief. GETTING STARTED

Renaud has been working with

wood since the age of eight when his parents gave him his first wood tool kit as a Christmas gift. Renaud started constructing bird houses and play sets for his G.I. Joe toys. “My father showed me how to use the tools properly without losing a finger or something else,” he said. Renaud’s passion for woodworking slowed when he met his wife, but was

rekindled with the birth of his sons as he built things for them. That evolved into creating elaborate Halloween decorations with his sons, including an electric chair, a life-sized coffin and a guillotine. But after his sons went through the sea cadet program, Renaud wanted to say thank you. From research on the ship, Renaud learned the HMCS Lanark was launched in 1943, taking part in the Battle of the Atlantic. The ship had a long life, and was sold and then repurchased by the Royal Canadian Navy, before it was finally decommissioned in 1965. Renaud chose to model the first version of the ship, working in details as small as a pair of binoculars on the upper deck, the ship’s bell and depth charges. “I could have kept on going … but they would have never seen the ship,” said Renaud. Asked how it felt to surrender his project, he said, “I felt proud to give it to the corps because they’ve done so much good with our kids. “I felt good because I was giving something back. They gave so much to my kids and my kids turned out great.”

REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK New Habitat for Humanity homeowners give thanks Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Hajeb, an 11-yearold who was housed through Habitat for Humanity-National Capital Region, said if she won the lottery tomorrow she would give all of her money to the charity. “I wouldn’t keep a penny, I would give it all to the volunteers,” she said. “I think it’s so great that these people helped build our home when they could have been home with their families.” Hajeb spoke during an an-

nual general meeting hosted by Habitat at the Nepean ReStore location on June 17. “We now have a house that’s big enough for me and my brother,” Hajeb said. “We can invite guests over now.” As part of the annual general meeting, newly-minted CEO Alexis Ashworth went over some of the milestones from 2013 and plans for the future. Volunteers took on their first, barrier-free bungalow in Ottawa in 2013. Before Habitat volunteers Salvador and Margarita Caceres

would have to carry their eight-year-old daughter Amanda into the house because it wasn’t wheelchair accessible. Their new house on Nantes Street in Orléans was designed with their specific needs in mind. Last year was another a series of firsts that included the first urban aboriginal build. Ida Kakekagumick applied for a home for her and her three grandchildren. The city’s first Renew It project is a better living environment for a group of 10 seniors called Abbeyfield. It’s

small-scale care facility with private rooms, meals and support for its clients. The facility provided limited access to the outdoors. Through the repair and renovation done by Habitat volunteers, the Renew It project created a respite for residents, enabling them to enjoy the outdoors with the addition of a modest deck. Ashworth said the organization is currently working on four builds in Orléans for 2014 and plans on another six

builds for 2015. “We couldn’t do it without the strong staff and volunteers we have,” she said. There were 345 volunteers that provided 11,690 hours in 2013 according to the board’s annual report. Fifty-seven volunteers at both ReStore location worked more than 5, 253 hours. Volunteers also spent countless fours organizing events and serving on committees. Last year’s Steels and Stilettos Gala sold out, garnering $85,000 for the charity. Another inaugural event, called the Zombie Run for Habitat,

hosted at the Nepean Nation Equestrian Park last October, raised $6,500. Both events are happening again this year. The run will be on Oct. 4 and the gala on Oct. 18. Ashworth said Habitat has come a long way from the first build on Monique Street in 1994, but there’s still a long way to go. “As long as there are still mothers sleeping in bathtubs we have work to do,” she said. ‘As long as there are children afraid to go outside or who are having trouble breathing because of mold we have work to do.”

Is she the one? Mooney’s Bay singer to compete at Bluefest Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - Mooney’s Bay teen Taylor Angus will sing the set of her career at Bluefest this weekend. Angus is one of 10 national finalists chosen to compete in the festival’s She’s The One contest for emerging female artists on July 5. Ten teenagers from the across the country will sing their hearts out to win a recording session in Los Angeles during a live competition at the Canadian War Museum. Fifteen-year-old Angus is a self-taught singer, songwriter and musician with an indie-pop sound she describes as similar to New Zealand’s Lorde. Along with her pop-star pipes, Angus has taught herself to play a host of instruments, including guitar, drums, mandolin, violin, harp, autoharp, piano, ukulele and dulcimer. She admits she’s not very good at reading music – most of her songs are written by ear. Her gift for music is more than apparent on her YouTube channel. She’s been singing for as long as she can remember, and began performing at the age of seven. The homeschooled student said she’s pretty quiet and shy in person, but on stage a whole new persona appears. “I’m very quiet when I talk but when I perform I just get a lot of personality,” she said. This is the contest’s fourth year, and it’s been tweaked a bit in honour of Bluesfest’s 20th anniversary, according to community program

co-ordinator Ana Miura. Previous years have focused on female artists of any age, but this year the field has been narrowed to young singers aged 13 to 19. And the grand prize has been upgraded: the winner will bag a $50,000 trip to Los Angeles to work with music producer Barrett Yeretsian. Yerestsian is best known for his work on Christina Perri’s single Jar of Hearts, which has garnered more than 110 million views on Youtube since its release in 2010. The trip for two also includes a celebrity makeover and photo shoot, a recording session with Yeretsian and a music video shoot. “Essentially it’s a career building opportunity for a young singer,” Miura said. “It’s a whirlwind trip and a huge opportunity for some young female Canadian.” “That would mean everything to me,” said the young singer. Although it’s billed as a national contest, this year’s field includes four local contenders out of the 10 finalists. Along with Angus, Greely resident Stephanie La Rochelle will offer her Broadway vocals and Kanata jazz singer Angelique Francis will bring her eclectic style. The fourth Ottawa native is Justice Tremblay. Along with the four Ottawa singers, the nation-wide contest also includes contestants from all corners of the country – stretching from Corner Brook, Newfoundland to Vernon, British Columbia. “I think it’s going to be really cool to see everyone,” La Rochelle said. “It’s an emerging artist contest, so everyone is different. I’m excited to see what everyone else brings.” The contest will take place July 5 between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Barney Danson Theatre inside the Canadian War Museum.

News - Parental involvement was essential in passing the public board’s $859-million budget for the 2014-15 school year, said trustee Pam Fitzgerald. The budget was approved at the last board meeting before the summer on June 23. Fitzgerald, who represents the zone that corresponds to the municipal College Ward, is the chair of the budget committee. “The budget committee, with the assistance of an involved parent community worked cohesively with staff to create a budget that supports the diverse student population,” she said in a press release. “Throughout the process we have been mindful to keep students as our top priority.” The budget adds to the board’s special education spending, with the creation of new autism classes the elementary and secondary levels. The board also added to their transportation budget to allow for more high school students to be bussed. More English as a Second Language, teachers, coaches, education assistants, vice-principals and custodial staff will be hired in September and funds will be directed for the final phase of the province’s plan to implement full-day kindergarten in every school. Jennifer Adams, the board’s director of education, said every new budget brings challenges and op-

portunities. “It is our responsibility as staff to develop a strategic, forward-thinking, student focused financial document that will allow us as a district to provide the finest quality of education for all our students.” CHILD CARE

A board-wide policy for child care in schools was also approved during the June 23 meeting. Barrhaven trustee Donna Blackburn said she initially brought the issue up to staff when parents were complaining about inequities between daycare costs and rules at Mary Honeywell Elementary School and Barrhaven Public. “Parents were calling me because the fees at Mary Honeywell were so much higher and they didn’t have the option for choosing only morning or afternoon care,” Blackburn said. “I couldn’t look them in the eye and tell them if they didn’t go to a certain school they would be out of luck.” The board’s new policy attempts to encourage third-party child care providers to work with board to provide services in areas that have need and where there is space in schools. Trustee Jennifer McKenzie included an amendment to the overall motion that would ensure the board encourages the city and the province to ensure a fair allocation of subsidies to communities according to socio-economic need.

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

Sports - Allegations of drinking and sexual misconduct stemming from a February incident in Thunder Bay have sidelined the University of Ottawa’s varsity men’s hockey program for the coming year. University president Allan Rock made the announcement at a media conference on June 25, where he revealed the results of an internal review of the school’s sports teams, but not the findings of an independent investigation aimed at discovering what exactly occurred in Thunder Bay. In addition to the cancellation of the 2014-15 season for the men’s hockey team, Rock announced that the program’s head coach has been “relieved of his duties,� The coach, Rock said, was not involved in the alleged activities that spawned the investigation, though he failed to report them to the university. Rock said, however, that the coach had attempted to discipline the of-

fending player or players on his own. An investigation by the Thunder Bay police has recently wrapped up, though no announcement has been made as to what it discovered, or whether any charges will be laid. The university’s own inquiry, conducted by independent investigator Steven Gaon, revealed the need for further suspension of the team, yet no details were revealed by Rock during the conference. “We now have Gaon’s findings, but they will not be made public,� said Rock. “We want to avoid any interference with the ongoing police investigation, and respect the university’s privacy obligations. I can tell you that Gaon’s findings revealed that the behaviour of some individuals in Thunder Bay on the weekend in question was unacceptable. Their behaviour did not meet the university’s expectations of our student athletes and was not in keeping with the university community’s values.� Rock said the university will immediately implement

Adams and Manon Vaillancourt affect all 11 varsity sports teams and 19 competitive teams, and focus on student and staff behaviour and responsibilities. For student athletes, they request an updating of the university’s sports services policies into a written and electronic handbook detailing the school’s expectation of behaviour and responsibilities in regard to alcohol and drug use, harassment and discrimination, hazing, and travel and social media. Annual mandatory varsity and competitive club student orientation sessions would see staff and coaches review the behavioural guidelines prior to the start of their competitive seasons. As well, all student athletes would have to sign off on their understanding of what’s expected of them in terms of their behaviour and the new guidelines. Coaches would see their handbooks updates with new operational policies as well as new guidelines for player behaviour, and would attend fall seminars with other coaches in order to better understand the policies. Like the students, the coaches would also have to sign off on their knowledge and understanding of the new policies.

University of Ottawa president Allan Rock speaks to members of the media on June 25 at Tabaret Hall. Rock detailed a list of measures that have been, or will be taken in the wake of allegations that arose during a varsity men’s hockey trip to Thunder Bay in February. all of the recommendations made by the two external experts brought on to audit how

the school manages its sports programming, adding that many will be in place by fall

of this year. The report and recommendations compiled by Dr. Lorne

No charges laid yet by Thunder Bay police The university’s sports services department would create an ethics and discipline committee to review incidents relating to misconduct and violations of behavioural guidelines. Annual reviews of all policies, practices and procedures relating to student athlete behaviour will also be required. Asked whether he might be “jumping the gun” by enacting sweeping changes and lengthening the suspension before the police reveal their findings, Rock said he didn’t believe so. “There are two dimensions to this,” he said, stating the police have an investigation to run and he had a university to run. “We’re looking after things that fall within our responsibilities.” Rock was careful not to implicate the entire team in the controversy, which

certainly doesn’t involve all members. He admitted the suspension of the entire team unjustly punished those who weren’t involved in the alleged incidents. “I am very much aware that for those members of our hockey team who were not in Thunder Bay or who were present but took no part in the alleged events, this has been an especially difficult time,” said Rock. “The shadow cast by the allegations of misconduct has affected all members of the team, some unfairly. At same time, I’m going to ask for understanding of the difficult position in which university finds itself. We cannot name names, for fear of doing greater injustice or running afoul of the law ourselves. We can only wait, as we all must wait, for the police investigation to run its course, hoping that when it concludes, it will add greater clarity.”

In addition to sentry duty at Rideau Hall, the guards perform the changing of the guard ceremony on Parliament Hill each day at 10 a.m. until Aug. 22. Johnston called the inspection a ‘classic rite of summer’ in the nation’s capital.

Ottawa MPPs keep cabinet roles News - Liberal MPPs in “team Ottawa� kept their cabinet roles in a recent shuffle at Queen’s Park, with Ottawa Centre’s Yasir Naqvi adding responsibilities as house leader. Naqvi also keeps his recent appointment as minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, a post to which Premier Kathleen Wynne named him in March. Naqvi previously served as minister of Labour. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli keeps over the high-profile energy portfolio. Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur will continue as attorney general, an appointment she received in March. She also continues her role as minister for Francophone Affairs. Two other Ottawa Liberal MPPs – newly elected Ottawa-Orleans MPP Marie-

France Lalonde and John Fraser, who was elected in last year’s byelection – were not added to the cabinet. The size of Wynne’s cabinet didn’t change after the election, with 27 Liberal MPPs serving in the cabinet. Ted McMeekin, an MPP from Hamilton, is now the minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. A renamed Ministery of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure will be headed by Brad Duguid. Jeff Leal adds the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to his portfolio, which already included Rural Affairs. Deb Matthews has been promoted to lead the Treasury Board, in addition to continuing as deputy leader of the party. Her previous post as Health minister went to Dr. Eric Hoskins, who helped found War Child Canada and held cabinet positions previously. With files from Metro News.

City council votes to oppose Dozois Road location Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Telus says it’s working with the city and community members to look for a new location for a proposed cell tower in Manotick’s South Pointe area. After a push from Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, on June 25 city council voted to refuse to agree to the tower’s proposed location. Telus has asked Industry Canada for permission to build an antenna at 1071 Dozois Rd. in South Pointe Manotick. But the site is off of Mitch Owens Road and adjacent to St. Mark High School and the Manotick Montessori School. Approval would come from the federal industry ministry, but the views of the municipal government are taken into consideration. Residents have expressed concern about the

safety of a communications tower being placed close to the schools, but Emma Miller, a spokesperson for Telus, said the signals emitted from the proposed tower would match the type of signal from an FM radio tower. “The power levels are low,” Miller said, adding the levels are below the safety code standards set out by the federal health and industry ministries. Miller said the tower is needed in order to meet demand for wireless service in the area. It must be located in a one- to two-kilometre distance from the residents and businesses it is intended to serve. “We are open to other sites that meet our criteria and objectives,” she said. Miller said the company was taking suggestions on alternate locations until June 13, but received none. Telus doesn’t own the land at 1071 Dozois Rd. and plans to lease the chosen site.

West Carleton councillor concerned about watermain break protocol Carp boil water advisory issued more than four hours after pipes fixed Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - West-Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry says a recent watermain break in Carp proves the city needs a better protocol for issuing boilwater advisories – especially in rural areas with shared wells. No one was sickened in the incident, which involved a construction crew damaging a main that was repaired within hours. But El-Chantiry said many residents were fearful and concerned when city officials turned up at their doors hours after the water had been turned back on to order them to boil tap water before using it. The water main broke at around 10 a.m. on June 23. El-Chantiry said he received an email at 12:20 p.m. letting him know the pipe was fixed and water had been restored to the 180 homes who use the communal well. It wasn’t until 4:29 p.m. that Ottawa Public Health issues a precautionary boil-water advi-

sory, which remained in effect until around 1:20 p.m. the next day. El-Chantiry said there is no harm in putting a precautionary boil-water advisory in place before turning the water back on. It’s much more problematic if it occurs the other way around, he said. “You live there. You’ve been there all day at home. You turn the water on at 10 a.m. and there is nothing ... Twenty after 12 the water comes back on – OK, everything is normal,” El-Chantiry said. “And then at five o’clock I knock on your door and say, ‘By the way, we have this cautionary boil-water advisory.’ You’d say, ‘Really? Where were you all day, buddy?’” The councillor submitted an inquiry to staff during the June 24 city council meeting to ask about the “gap in procedure” that led the water to be turned on before the boil-water advisory was issued. When there is an issue or pressure is lost in a communal well system, which can happen due to a pipe breaking, the city is obligated to test the water.
