City`s anti-gang fight gets funding boost Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
To prevent at-risk Ottawa youth from joining gangs and help gang members leave behind their criminal way of life, the province will give almost $700,000 over three years to Ottawa-based programs working toward that goal. The funding, which works out to more than $233,000 a year, will build upon the inroads already being made locally that help youth stay on the right track, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser announced June 22 at the Log Cabin Community Centre in Ottawa Community Housing’s Shearwater neighbourhood of Hunt Club.

“One of the unique things about our city and the community that I come from is there is a lot of collaboration. People work together,” said Fraser, who was joined by Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde. “I know that this money will go to the community to support those kinds of collaborations that exist right now,” he said, adding that by supporting youth, boosting their sense of belonging and encouraging their community involvement, young people can have a stable future, and, as a result, neighbourhoods become safer.
“I’ve also seen how targeted investments have had tremendous impacts on young people’s lives.”

charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, and breach of duty. The officers are required to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice on Elgin Street on Sept. 8. The SIU is an arm’s length provincial agency that is called in to investigate reports involving police officers where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
Sharmaarke Abdullahi, a former Michele Heights Community House co-ordinator who is now a business consultant with Crime Prevention Ottawa, has seen firsthand how difficult it is for youth to grow up without adequate support. “I’ve also seen how targeted investments have had tremendous impacts on young people’s lives,” he said. He told the story of a teen who had lived in six communities in Ontario before settling with his family of six in a social housing community in Ottawa. Adam, the pseudonym Abdul-
lahi used for the teen, was in Grade 9 when he arrived. As the eldest of four he helped his mother, who suffered from clinical depression, care for his siblings in the absence of his father who was incarcerated. Adam’s mother learned through the community house the different services that were available and was able to connect her son to the right programs. “She was particularly interested in homework supports for Adam because he was recently diagnosed with a learning disability and he was also cutting school and falling behind,” Abdullahi said. Adam was matched with a mentor, tutor, a positive role model and career advice. “Today, I’m happy to say that Adam has now completed university and is now working to support his mother and younger siblings.” Abdullahi said more at-risk youth across the province, such as Adam, will be helped by Ontario’s enhanced and expanded Youth Action Plan, through which the new funding will flow into the province’s Gang Prevention/Intervention Program and on to programs in Ottawa, Windsor, Thunder Bay and Toronto. “There’s a lot of services and a lot of kids doing well, including kids with a lot of stresses in their lives,” said Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, who attended the announcement. “Can we do better with some kids with acute risks? Yes, we can. “But you look at overall outcomes and we’re doing well. But this doesn’t mean you should stop. “We need to keep it up,” Worsfold said.
Road rage incident leads police to attempted murder suspect A road-rage incident in the east end involving known gang associates led to an attempted murder charge being laid against a 20-year-old man in connection with an earlier incident, according to police. Guns and gangs investigators were called to Walkley Road and St. Laurent Boulevard on July 20 at 10:30 p.m., after a firearm was found in one of two sedans involved in a collision, said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the guns and gangs and DART unit. “There was contact between the two vehicles,” he said of the incident, which began

Another 20-year-old man, who Bryden said is known to police as a gang associate, was arrested July 21 and charged by DART members. The suspect has been charged with one count of attempted murder, several firearms offences and charges of theft and uttering threats. Bryden declined to comment on the nature of the victim’s injuries in the attempted murder case, but he confirmed that no shots were fired in the South Keys incident. The victim has since been released from hospital. Bryden also declined to reveal how the Walkley road-rage incident ended up leading to the arrest of the man charged with attempted murder.
after a verbal exchange. “Patrol did a great job of conducting arrests at the scene and the eventual seizure of the handgun,” Bryden said, referring to a 9-millimetre firearm. The four people involved in the road rage incident are known gang associates, said Bryden, adding that they were co-operating with police. One of the four, a 20-year-old Ottawa man, has been charged with 10 firearms offences. That case allowed investigators to solve an earlier violent incident involving a gun at 2210 Bank St. near the South Keys Shopping Centre that occurred on July 18 at 9:30 p.m.

Once a week, Const. Ryan McEachran joins more than 20 service providers to identify individuals and families living in southeast Ottawa who are at-risk of victimization and who could benefit from a knock on their door by a rapid-fire crisis intervention team. The MERIT pilot program launched last month, and already the door-knocking has begun.
Agencies join forces to help people at risk Erin McCracken

Some people are suffering in silence, unable or unwilling to reach out for help with their problems, perhaps overwhelmed by the daunting next step of knowing where to turn before crisis strikes. “If you don’t know somebody’s suffering behind closed doors, then you can’t help them. That’s why we know, because we (police officers) are behind closed doors. Paramedics are behind closed doors,” said Const. Ryan McEachran, an Ottawa police officer. Police and paramedics are among more than 20 professionals from local, regional and provincial agencies and community organizations – including youth and social workers, schoolteachers, health-care professionals, housing

and community health workers – who began teaming up last month as part of a new sixmonth pilot program known as MERIT, which stands for Multiagency Early Risk Intervention Tables. Their goal is to work together to identify individuals and families who are at risk of further victimization or criminal behaviour or close to spiraling out of control, headed toward a crisis. As the partners gather around a table at the Greenboro Community Centre, they discuss a handful of cases involving individuals and families living in southeast Ottawa, from Hunt Club Road, north to Highway 417, and from Hawthorne Road, west to the Rideau River – where there are pockets of at-risk communities.

Through this collaboration, the partners may be able to discover at-risk people who haven’t yet appeared on the radar, said Colleen MacPhee, manager of community mental-health crisis services at the Ottawa Hospital.

There may be mental-health and addiction issues. Perhaps children in the home are often truant from school. Parenting skills may be lacking, and housing and unemployment may also be at the root cause – just some of 122 risk factors identified by the province. It’s when problems start heaping up that a situation can quickly go from bad to worse, said McEachran, who is chairing Ottawa’s MERIT table. “From that point, the threshold is that you’ve done everything you can inter-agency to resolve that problem,” he said. MERIT is about providing a co-ordinated rapid-fire intervention. “We don’t have to wait for the next police call. We don’t have to wait for them to lose their housing,” McEachran said. “Within 24 to 48 hours of the identification, somebody’s at their door saying, ‘We’re here to help you.’” Depending on the person’s needs, a handful of the experts from around that table pay a house call in an unmarked vehicle and in plainclothes. “It’s a holistic approach with Ottawa organizations working together and delivering that service to the person,” said Const. Mahamud Elmi, a south Ottawa community police officer seconded to the table. He and his partner, Const. Rebecca
other cities, it doesn’t mean the intervention team will fix everything. And those who are offered help may not want it. “It’s not always going to have that Disney ending, where people are like, ‘Wow, thanks for coming in,’ because of all the issues they’re going through,” McEachran said. Those in need often repeatedly appear on a patrol officer’s radar, but sometimes there is little they can do. Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau estimates 75 to 85 per cent of police calls are related to social issues rather than criminal offences. MacPhee agrees that police can be limited in what they can do and in understanding other risk factors a family may be facing. “But then you look at all the other social situations and it’s like putting a very weak Band-Aid on something that’s just going to last maybe for a week or two days or it could be a month, but they know that unless they do something else for this individual or family it’s going to get worse very quickly,” she said. Based on the results of similar programs, MERIT is likely to respond to 100 to 150 cases a year. “I think two years from now we’ll have multiple tables,” McEachran said. “I do see us moving into other at-risk communities in Ottawa, whether that’s a (Byward) Market table, a Vanier table or somewhere in West (Ottawa).”

It’s to give that intervention and the help that person needs at that time. And all the intervention we’ve done, thus far, have had a very successful outcome.”

Critics say street checks target male minorities Ottawa police to continue outreach as province reviews street checks
No ce of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments Mano ck Secondary Plan Update In accordance with the Planning Act and Sec on 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of O awa, no ce is hereby provided that Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment proposals have been ini ated by the Planning and Growth Management Department of the City of O awa.

Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau says data showing black and Middle Eastern men are stopped by police more than other ethnicities is “very raw” and hasn’t been put into context. “There hasn’t been any analysis whatsoever or context behind the numbers,” he said before the police board meeting on July 27. A board report on the service’s street checks program found that, of the 23,400 checks made between 2011 and 2014, 20 per cent targeted black residents, despite being only 5.7 per cent of Ottawa’s population in 2011. Similarly, Middle Eastern residents were stopped in 14 per cent of all checks despite representing only 4.6 per cent of Ottawa’s population. Meanwhile, white people – with more than 75 per cent of the city’s population - were stopped 58 per cent of the time, and Asians, who represent 11 per cent, were only stopped two per cent of the time. Eighty per cent of the stops targeted men, and 40 per cent were in their 20s. Bordeleau said the numbers are not concerning because Ottawa’s street check program isn’t random – a criticism that has caused significant outcry in Toronto, where residents argue the practice of “carding” is biased toward visible minorities. “We don’t do random street checks,” Bordeleau said. “There has to be a reason why we stop an individual.” For example, if someone is wandering the streets at 3 a.m. in a neighbourhood that has had a rash of recent break-ins, an officer may stop that person to ask what they’re up to. Depending on the information they get, it would be submitted to the data base as a street check, Bordeleau said. Or police could act on community tips. “When we get complaints from neighbours that there’s potential drug activity taking place, officers will stop individuals going in and out of the house and document those individuals, and those will go toward the investigation and hopefully a warrant,” Bordeleau said. He pointed out that the number of street checks conducted between 2010 and 2014 have been cut nearly in half, to 4,405 in 2014 from 8,240 in 2010. That’s largely to do with new quality assurance policies the service has started to implement to clarify what constitutes an appropriate street check, Bordeleau said. “As we’re adding a lot more clearance and guidelines for officers and direction as to when they are required to submit a street check, that has led to the number of street checks being diminished,” he said. But criminal defence lawyer Leo Russomanno argued street checks, as a matter of course, are a problem, even if they’re not random. He said most people don’t realize they have
The proposed Official Plan Amendments (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendments (ZBA) affect various proper es located within Mano ck, which is located in Ward 21, Rideau-Goulbourn. The planning area for the OPA and ZBA generally includes the area bound by First Line Road, Bankfield Road, Rideau Valley Drive, Century Road and the Rideau River.
OTTAWA POLICE CHIEF CHARLES BORDELEAU the right to refuse a street check, and as such they become de facto illegal. “If they don’t believe they have a choice to co-operate, they are being essentially illegally searched,” Russomanno said. He said officers should be informing everyone they stop that they have a choice to walk away. That’s particularly important in the context of the racial bias he said can be found in the numbers. “There are some of us who are being stopped more than others, and it cries out for an explanation,” Russomanno said. “If you’re an ethnic minority, and you’ve been stopped 20 times, whereas I’ve never been stopped, then you might get a little bit annoyed and think, ‘the next time an officer stops me I won’t co-operate.’” He said the committee should be asking for a legal opinion on the legality of street checks, why the racial statistics are so skewed, and whether officers should be required to inform individuals of their right to refuse co-operation. “Otherwise, all we’re doing is taking advantage of the ignorance of the vast majority of the public,” Russomanno said. ONGOING STUDY
The provincial government announced this spring it will study the use of street check programs across Ontario, with an eye on standardizing the practice province-wide by spring of 2016. But Ottawa’s police service has already been reviewing its own program, which has no formal policy despite the fact that more than 4,000 are performed each year. It plans to continue its consultation work this summer, the results of which it will share with the province. “We want to continue with internal and external consultations, because we think it’s going to contribute to a larger discussion in the community about bias-free policing,” said Inspector Mark Patterson, who has been leading the review. He added that the force wants to increase awareness in the community about how street checks are used and what rights an individual has when asked to participate. He said the service’s final policy will align with whatever standardized policy the province decides on next spring.
There are a number of OPAs associated with the proposed Mano ck Secondary Plan. The purpose of the OPAs are to: (1) Replace the exis ng secondary plan found in Volume 2C with the proposed Mano ck Secondary Plan (see paragraph below); (2) Update the Official Plan’s (OP’s) Schedule A – Rural Policy Plan to slightly adjust the Village boundary to be in accord with the boundary found in the Mano ck Secondary Plan; (3) Remove the former City of Nepean policies rela ng to Mano ck from the OP; (4) Amend the OP’s Schedule L – Natural Heritage System Overlay and replace it with an updated schedule resul ng from the Mud Creek Subwatershed Study; (5) Amend OP’s Schedule H – Road Network to add Mahogany Community’s collector road, and; (6) Amend the OP’s Permi ed Uses in Villages policy to increase retail and commercial services up to a maximum of 11,000 sq. m. gross leaseable area in Mano ck. The main effects of the proposed Mano ck Secondary Plan are to: (1) Refine the Village Core and character area boundaries and iden fy clear planning intent for each; (2) Provide plans to improve connec vity (proposed networks for sidewalks, pathways and cycle routes) and to increase access and views to the Rideau River; (3) Iden fy means to address local traffic and parking issues; (4) Provide both public and private servicing policies; (5) Iden fy ways to reinforce village character; (6) Iden fy areas for increased residen al densi es; (7) Protect groundwater recharge area (Kars Esker); (8) Iden fy future park loca ons in future residen al development; The main effects of the proposed ZBA are to: (1) Extend the Village Mixed-Use zone along Mano ck Main Street and reinforce its commercial focus; (2) Refine lists of permi ed uses in various zones; (2) Permit an increase in the maximum gross leasable area at the Mews; (3) Recognize parks as long-term uses; (4) Permit exis ng uses of land, where appropriate.

OPINION EDITORIAL
Our athletes are a making us proud
I
t was so easy to be smug about the Pan Am Games. The Games are in Toronto, the one place in Canada that those of us who live outside of the GTA can stand united in our shared disdain. Here in Ottawa, for the past few years, has there been any more enjoyable sport than laughing at the plight of the sad-sack Maple Leafs? But it wasn’t just those of us outside Toronto who so easily dismissed the Pan Am Games. Media reports in the lead up to the start of the Games were at times gleeful in the way they pointed out that even in Hogtown the event was not creating a buzz among residents. It was just the Pan Am Games after all, not the Olympics. Stories about slow ticket sales were the norm, and much of the coverage from the national media focused on the manner in which the Games were going to be an inconvenience to residents of that city rather than an event to create civic and national pride. And then a funny thing happened, as is often the case, when the Games actually began. Canadians, from coast to coast, started to embrace the Games
and have been delighted by the level of success our athletes are accomplishing. Athletes from Ottawa and the Valley have been among those collecting a record number of Pan Am medals for Canada. It is moments like the 100-watt smile on the face of Nepean born and raised Andrew D’Souza’s face after he beat the top ranked player to make the gold medal match in badminton that we should be focused on. D’Souza ended up with the Pan Am silver medal for badminton. And let’s not forget Eganville’s Melissa Bishop who won a gold medal in the women’s 800-metre final. This was quite the story, considering she missed a month of training in May due to an ankle injury. For many of the athletes from this area who are participating in the Games, this will be as big as it gets in their career. Some may go on to represent Canada at the Olympics or at world championships, but many won’t. The Pan Am Games is an experience they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Yes, it was easy to be smug about the Games before they began, but now it is all about our athletes, and they richly deserved their moment to shine.

Answer the robo-call
N
ormally, the second I hear an automated voice on the phone line, I hang up. But this summer parents may want to take a moment to listen or risk your child’s access to school and daycare. Ottawa Public Health has launched a “robo-call� campaign, asking parents to contact the agency with their children’s current immunization records. If you have school-aged children or kids in daycare, you need to get in touch. The agency is asking parents to present updated immunization records for all children prior to the start of the school year. In September, parents who have not responded to the automated

more than four years. Many don’t realize that in order for children to have access to school and daycare programs, parents are required to update the agency every time their child receives a new vaccine. It’s a murky system that hasn’t been properly monitored for years. No surprise then that public health estimates 63,000 Ottawa students do not have up-to-date immunization records. Thus, the robo-calls and a special online form where parents can enter information. So far, the campaign, which seems complicated and onerous, hasn’t been well-received by some parents. After almost hanging up on the confusing robo-call myself, I checked to make sure that my kids are up to date with their immunizations. I realized they were, but their paper yellow cards weren’t.

New retail arrivals among series of changes at airport Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The opening of Good Earth’s first coffee shop east of Saskatchewan is not only a feather in the company’s cap, but also for the Ottawa International Airport where the cafe opened July 22. Ottawa proved to be the perfect fit for the Calgary-based company that sells coffee and freshly made food. “It’s a great city (that’s) growing now and it’s got a strong coffee culture, a very sophisticated coffee culture and we just feel that our brand fits in really well within the Ottawa market,” Gerry Docherty, Good Earth’s president and chief operating officer, said in the departures area of the airport following a ribbon cutting ceremony. Ottawa is the company’s first foray into Ontario. It is targeting Toronto next, and will continue expanding into eastern Canada, as well as establish a presence in as many Canadian airports as possible. “This is very much a start,” Docherty said. The coffee shop’s launch came on the heels of the opening of the Tulip Bar and Wine Lounge at the airport the day before. Minus one space next to Good Earth’s location, the airport is at capacity with its concessions. The airport authority has been very careful about making any retail changes in hopes of minimizing the impact on them when a threefloor expansion to the airport begins in three to five years. “So this will affect our tenant mix and relocate them,” said Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority. The new space will be tacked on to the southeast corner of the airport, which is currently a small outdoor parking lot with portable work spaces for contractors and other employees. “When we do an expansion, it’s two-three years of planning, at least, because it’s very complicated,” Laroche said. “It’s like changing a flat tire at 200 kilometres an hour.” The extension, which will be a multimillion-
dollar project that has not yet been costed out, will provide much-needed office space for the authority and the airlines that operate out of the airport. It would also free up space elsewhere in the airport. “Clearly, we’re at the point where we need to expand,” Laroche said. The airport authority will get into the thick of planning next year. “We want to make sure we expand at the right moment, not too quick,” he said. “It costs money and we don’t want the current customers to support an asset that’s too big for them.” MORE CHANGE COMING

Changes are also coming to the second-floor passenger screening area, which was put in place after 9/11. “We stuck it on,” Laroche said. “Right now, we understand that it’s getting cramped, so if the crowds increase in two years it’s not going to work. “We don’t want customers waiting 20 minutes.” With the redesign of that space, there would be net benefits for passengers and free up some space for a new concession area. “If we move that around, that’s a major move,” Laroche said. The authority has also been adding capacity and improving baggage security screening with a $58-million overhaul to its baggage handling system, which began a year and a half ago and is expected to be completed in early 2016. In addition to increasing baggage screening capacity, the behind-the-scenes technological upgrade will improve baggage transfers for people catching connecting flights, Laroche said.

Brockington to consult residents over future of Bayview school site Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
An “extensive” community consultation will get underway in September to give Riverside Park residents the chance to share their vision for the future of the Bayview lands, which the city is ready to rezone and sell. River ward Coun. Riley Brockington plans to mail out a two-page information bulletin to about 1,000 homes in September to inform residents of the current status of the property, next steps in the rezoning process, as well as to provide them with the findings of a community consultation that was undertaken about the four-hectare site when Maria McRae was the ward’s representative. “Staff are ready to zone and sell it, and I’ve held them
off for a year because I want to make sure that the plan in place still aligns with community needs,” said Brockington. “And I’m the new councillor so I want to – before I give the green light to staff – make sure I’m on the same page as the community. “Speak now or forever hold your peace.” The former Bayview Public School on Riverside Drive at Mooney’s Bay Place was closed following a four-school consolidation amid declining enrollment. Brockington served as public school trustee for the area at the time. The city opted to purchase the Bayview lands from the public school board in 2007 for about $8 million. The board spent about $1 million demolishing the building in 2009 and cleaning the site after it was discovered that an

cial-housing development. “I would have liked to have seen nice single homes. They’ll bring in taxes for the city. Open it up so it’s not overcrowded.” While door knocking in the lead up to last fall’s municipal election, Brockington said residents complained there is not enough retail or commercial businesses in Riverside Park. If the vision among Riverside Park neighbours hasn’t changed since the initial consultation, Brockington said staff will go ahead with the rezoning process. The current plan would see the property sold off in parcels. ckington said the rezoning process, which would include a community meeting, wouldn’t begin until 2016, paving the way for the sale of the property in late 2016 or 2017.
NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT LEMIEUX ISLAND SHORELINE RESTORATION MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The City of Ottawa is planning for the restoration of the northwest shoreline on Lemieux Island. Lemieux Island is located in the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. It can be accessed through the Rivers Street Bridge from Ottawa. Lemieux Island’s main use is to accommodate one of the City of Ottawa’s Water Purification Plants. The northwest shoreline of the Lemieux Island, adjacent to the lower level parking area, has eroded significantly. The northwest corner of the Island is composed of mostly weak and fragmented limestone, which is causing progressive recession of the shoreline and weakening of several parking lot fence posts which are currently either leaning or have fallen over completely. It is projected that if erosion is allowed to continue, the adjacent green space and parking lot will be impacted. Thus, shoreline stabilization is required to halt and prevent further erosion. The project is being planned as a Schedule ‘B’ undertaking and is to follow the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011). Input and comments are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project and will be received until August 6th, 2015. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the City of Ottawa intends to proceed with the planning and design as defined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.

Brockington said, adding that if the city hadn’t bought the lot at the time, the board would have put it on the open
market. “We never acquired it to keep it as a rectangular green spot,” he said. “It has not done anything in the last seven years. It has not brought in any property tax revenue. We haven’t run any recreational programming. It’s just been a field.” Frank Berry, a longtime Mooney’s Bay resident whose home backs onto the tract of land, said the community came up with several ideas during the initial consultation, including a metre-wide green buffer around the property between the site and the homes around it, as well as singlefamily homes, town homes, a four-storey apartment block and a soccer field. “I’m worried about what the final plan is going to look like,” Berry said, adding that he would not welcome a so-

and federal governments outlining the city’s intention to apply for funding. Like stage one of LRT, the city hopes the cost will be split between the three levels of government, but Watson has said he will push for as much as possible, especially since the province has already agreed to pay 100 per cent of similar transit projects in Hamilton, Mississauga and Toronto. On a per capita basis, Ottawa is entitled to about $2 billion of the provincial transit fund, according to city staff.
brier.dodge@metroland.com
As chatter grows about the looming federal election, Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau has sent Mayor Jim Watson a letter committing $1 billion in funding for the second phase of Ottawa’s light-rail transit system. The letter, sent July 22, said the Conservative government intends to provide “up to one-third” of the funding for the $3-billion project, which would add 19 new stations and 30 kilometres of track to the system by 2023. “Our intent to contribute to Stage 2 reflects our understanding that Canada’s largest cities depend on public transit infrastructure to fight gridlock, reduce congestion for people and businesses, and support economic development,” Galipeau wrote. The light-rail expansion plan will extend service to Bayshore and Baseline stations in the west and to Place d’Orléans in the east - practically next door to Galipeau’s constituency office on Centrum Boulevard. It will also extend the O-Train’s single-track diesel line to Bowesville Road in Riverside South, with the option of upgrading to light rail in the future. For an extra $315 million – which the city says would have to come from the feds or the province – the project could potentially extend as far as Trim Road in the east (at a cost of $160 million) and connect to the Ottawa International Airport (another $155 million).
POLITICAL MOVE
FILE
Mayor Jim Watson talks about the second phase of light-rail transit in Ottawa in the lead up to the October municipal election last year. Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau sent Watson a letter committing federal money to the project on July 22. The federal government’s promise of funding comes with conditions. The project’s formal application still needs to be received and approved, and Galipeau’s letter said decisions about support will be contingent on the application’s detailed business case. Watson was on vacation when Galipeau’s letter was delivered, but the mayor issued a written statement through his staff. “I am delighted that the Government of Canada has
indicated that it will provide $1 billion in funding for Ottawa’s stage two lightrail transit project,” Watson wrote. “We have created an excellent partnership for the Confederation Line (currently under construction from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair), and I am pleased this will continue as we work to extend LRT farther east, west and south.” He said the federal government’s commitment goes hand-in-hand with informal indications from Ontario
Premier Kathleen Wynne that her government will also support the project as part of more than $15 billion that has been earmarked for transit projects outside of Toronto. “I look forward to formalizing these funding commitments so we can move forward with construction in 2018,” Watson said. City council unanimously approved the LRT stage-two project on July 8, and the next day Watson formally sent letters to the provincial
Galipeau said his response to the city’s letter was quick because he didn’t want people to think it was an election ploy. “The request came from the mayor on July 9, so replying to the mayor on July 22 was kind of fast,” Galipeau said. “But if I waited until responding until September, they would have said, ‘Oh, it’s just an election promise.’ But I never make election promises, I just do my job. I thought it was better to do it now, while there is no election.” But Orléans federal Liberal candidate Andrew Leslie doesn’t buy that the announcement isn’t strategically aligned with an election. He said Galipeau is getting “desperate” and questioned the timing. “The fact that Mr. Galipeau has only now voiced his support, on the eve of an election, worries me,” Leslie said. “Is this a serious commitment, or is it just an at-
tempt to buy votes?” Leslie said Liberal party leader Justin Trudeau committed funding more than a year ago, so he thinks the Conservatives are late in making the funding pledge. He said he wants to see federal funding announced for the extension to Trim Road, which the city has scheduled for after 2031 in the transportation master plan. Ottawa’s only NDP MP, Paul Dewar, was out of the city on vacation like Watson, but also provided a written statement through his staff. “I support a strong federal contribution to the LRT initiative,” the Ottawa Centre MP said. “It’s important to remember that this week’s announcement is flexible and conditional. It’s for up to one-third of the total cost, so it might be less, and the government will only give a firm commitment once a formal application has been approved. I look forward to continuing to work with all levels of government to achieve an LRT network that reflects the interests of all Ottawans.” Funding light-rail transit provincially was a major point of contention during the provincial election when Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne and Conservative leader Tim Hudak campaigned in Ottawa last year. Wynne was quick to pledge support to fund the second phase, while Hudak said he wouldn’t fund it – then later backtracked during a campaign visit to the Orléans Progressive Conservative candidate’s office.

Paving High Road and the far east section of Earl Armstrong would help commuters get downtown more quickly, Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 30, 2015
Osgoode Coun. George Darouze is hoping a few quick fixes will bring some muchneeded relief for south-end commuters. In a draft plan he’s pushing for the 2016 budget, Darouze is hoping to alleviate the daily back-ups on Albion Road and Bank Street with a bit of extra pavement. The plan is to pave High Road and Earl Armstrong out to Bowesville Road, and Blais Road from Bank to Hawthorne Road; this will give drivers the option to fan east or west to reach other arterials like Limebank Road or Hawthorne to more quickly reach their destinations, Darouze said. The rookie councillor also wants to widen Rideau Road’s intersection at Bank to add left-turn lanes so that that residents living east of Bank aren’t
getting stuck behind long lines of commercial trucks at peak hours. These are all short-term solutions, Darouze said, to ease congestion for residents while they wait for Earl Armstrong to become the arterial it deserves to be. “The ring road (on Earl Armstrong) is our solution, but that is long-term,” Darouze said. “I can’t wait to fight the transportation master plan in 2018. I need something now for my residents.” Earl Armstrong is identified in the master plan to eventually punch through to Bank Street and create an arterial all the way to Vimy Memorial Bridge over the Rideau River. But that won’t happen for at least another five years – and that’s too long to wait for busy south-end residents. “(The congestion) takes every day from our regular life, as parents, as hardwork-
ing people coming into the city every morning,” said Darouze, who said traffic backups can add up to 45 minutes or an hour to the downtown commute. “That creates lots of stress on our family lives and our relationships.” Darouze is sure the paving will happen on High Road and Earl Armstrong in 2016, and he’s 90 per cent certain about Blais. But he’s still working with city staff to find funding for the Rideau Road improvements. The paving projects are a priority, anyway, Darouze said, because the newly minted routes will help disperse the long lines of cars that get stuck on Albion and Bank behind their respective Leitrim Road intersections every morning and afternoon. See ROAD PLAN, page 13
Councillor devises road plan to ease traffic concerns Continued from page 12
On Albion, the problem has worsened since a new light was installed at Findlay Creek Drive (and housing developments have added more drivers), and on Bank the expanding shopping centre and the traffic that comes with it exacerbates the problem for east-enders. MANOTICK STATION
Darouze is also hoping to get 2016 funding for a new traffic light at Manotick Station Road where it meets Mitch Owens – a long-time ask of Greely residents who know from experience how dangerous the three-way intersection can be. It only recently met the city’s warrant for a signalized intersection, but Darouze said that doesn’t mean it’s not busy. For one thing, the road is much busier in the spring and summer, when the Orchard View wedding and confer-
ence centre hosts hundreds of events and the private ultimate Frisbee fields are open for the season. Not to mention, local residents have learned to avoid the intersection altogether – preferring to take Stagecoach or Dozois where they can access lights – so rush hour traffic counts tend to be low. Previous city traffic counts hadn’t taken those factors into account, but in June Darouze convinced them to change their methods so they could capture the real levels of traffic, he said. On June 5, the morning peak hours showed between 11 and 24 drivers making left turns from Manotick station onto Mitch Owens every 15 minutes; in the afternoon it was slightly lower. Between 18 and 41 drivers were turning south onto Manotick Station from Mitch Owens every 15 minutes in the afternoons – a problem when there’s no left turn lane in that location, Darouze said. The new intersection would
add left turn lanes on both roads. Besides the numbers, Darouze said pushing traffic east and west to other traffic lights in Greely has caused its own problems. Drivers are heading down Apple Orchard Road, which is still 80 km/h despite the blossoming housing developments in the area, or they’re cutting up Dozois past St. Mark High School where there are hundreds of students milling around in the mornings. Installing a light at Mitch Owens and Manotick Station would keep most drivers out of residential neighbourhoods and limit the number of people driving past the school, Darouze said. He thinks it can be done fairly quickly once the funding is approved; the city is already nearly done the design work for the new intersection. And there’s money to be found, too. The planned roundabout at Stagecoach Road and Apple Orchard could be downgraded to a simple realignment
project – costing $400,000 instead of $1.9 million – if traffic can be redirected back to Manotick Station, Darouze said.
The Stagecoach intersection only meets the warrant right now because so many people want to avoid Manotick Station, he argued.
The 2016 budget is in the process of being drafted now and will be released in the fall for public feedback.

Navan Fair celebrates world record anniversary Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
The Navan Fair is back with old favourites and new attractions from Aug. 6 to 9 at the Navan Fairgrounds. The fair, a summer staple for many families in the east end, received Celebrate Ontario grants this year that are funding a new show and a heritage celebration. The fair is marking the 20th anniversary of a Guinness World Record for the 50 horse hitch that was set at the fair when 50 Clydesdale horses pulled a wagon 3.5 km through Navan on Aug. 13, 1995. Tracey Hayes, the fair’s advertising director, said there will be a special tent set up with the original wagon and harnesses used to set the record. There will also be a video slideshow from the record setting day and some Clydesdale horses. The wagon and some of the horses will also be
in the annual fair parade, starting at 10:45 a.m. on Aug. 8. The fair received the grants to fund the celebration in two instalments, with approximately $21,000 awarded in the first instalment and the promise of another $23,000 if the final projects are completed, said Navan Fair’s Debbie Newton. She said $8,000 will go towards a lumberjack show, and the rest will go towards the world record anniversary celebration. The lumberjack show is new to the fair this year, and will be staged three times on Aug. 8. Another new event, a musket demonstration by the 78th Fraser Highlanders, will also be held that day. “These are the sort of new things, or different things, that aren’t a part of the regular rotation of horse shows and agriculture competitions,” Hayes said. There will also be an alpaca show, which Hayes said is the
only international alpaca show in Eastern Ontario. Over at the education barn, which frequently rotates different exhibits and demonstrations from year to year, last year’s new sheep shearing event was a success, so it will be featured again this year. “You have your staple items, and then we try and rotate through other things,” Hayes said. “You can’t have the same things every year – people get bored.” Every year the fair books major acts to perform, and this year is no exception. Opening night Aug. 6 features Ottawa band Sterling, while another local band, Bacon Tree, will open for Friday’s headliners, Canadian rock icons Trooper. Brea Lawrenson opens for Brett Kissel on Saturday night, and Carroll Baker is the headliner Sunday. For a full schedule of the fair’s attractions, visit www. navanfair.com. FILE PHOTO
The opening night demolition derby is always a hot ticket at the Navan Fair. The demolition derby will return to the fair this year on Thursday, Aug. 6.

The world’s first clinical trial using genetically-modified stem cell therapy in the treatment of a rare and deadly lung disease is raising the hopes of doctors, researchers and patients. The results of the ground-breaking trial, led by the Ottawa Hospital and published in Circulation Research on July 20, are considered promising. Though still early days, the treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension could one day replace cumbersome and expensive treatments that are only moderately extending a patient’s life. “That’s why we need to develop better approaches. These therapies are not curative. They’re just holding some ground and eventually patients progress (towards death),” said Dr. Duncan Stewart, a cardiologist and executive vice-president of research at the Ottawa Hospital who led the research, which was conducted in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. “What we’re looking at now is to develop a whole new approach, a whole new paradigm that would actually be curative,” Stewart said. Pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is characterized by very high pressure in the arteries that supply blood to the lungs, is striking down patients, many of them women in the prime of their lives. Survival rates have seen little improvement, but researchers are trying to change that. In the trial, which cost $3 million to $4 million, white blood cells from seven patients in Toronto and Montreal were harvested and grown in the lab for stem-like cells. These were genetically engineered to produce more nitric oxide, a natural substance that expands blood vessels and can repair damaged blood vessels. They were then injected into the damaged portion of the lung. In this therapy, both the injected gene and its carrier cell were engineered to help repair blood vessels, rather the just the gene.
In the days after the treatment, researchers and doctors saw improved blood flow in the lungs, patients were able to exercise and they experienced a better quality of life for up to six months. “We were clearly identified as the pioneers in this area and it was recognized how difficult this was to do and it was recognized how important this work really is,” said Stewart, considered a pioneer in cardiovascular research. “This was the first genetically-modified cell therapy that we had done, and is very unique in the cardiovascular world, not just pulmonary hypertension, but for all cardiovascular conditions.” Launching the first-of-its-kind clinical trial took years, and the research team was also challenged in finding eligible patients because the disease is so rare. Primary pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, affects one to two people out of one million. However, the Ottawa Hospital is seeing more of these patients than ever before because they are living longer with the disease. Doctors here follow at least 100 with PAH. Though drug therapies have improved in the last two decades “... none of these are curative,” Stewart said. “It used to be a fiveyear survival in 30 per cent or so, but it’s now gone to a survival of more in the 50 per cent (range), probably because of drugs, but also I think we’re better at identifying the root of it.” Medical experts are trying to change this. “If you’re a 30- or 25-year-old person and your survival goes to five years from two years, that’s good, but it’s not very good,” Stewart said. While some patients appear to get PAH out of the blue for no particular reason, about 10 per cent of them have a family history of the disease. Of those, 80 per cent have a gene mutation.

Dr. Duncan Stewart, a senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital, prepares to look at de-cellularized lung tissue under the microscope in his research lab at the General campus on July 24. Stewart was the lead scientist on the world’s first clinical trial that tested a genetically-enhanced stem cell therapy on a rare form of lung disease. Erin McCracken/Metroland

Approximately 30 per cent of patients without a family history also have the gene mutation. There are still many unknowns about the disease, including its fundamental causes. Canadian researchers are currently testing their unique theories on how this gene is associated with the disease, and why women, especially those in their late 20s and 30s, are two to four times more likely than men to get it. Young people especially often face a rapid progression of the disease.
Barb Eamer
“The ultimate therapy that we hope to be able to give them is lung transplantation,” Stewart said. Currently, patients can go downhill so quickly that they die while waiting for a transplant. “The real excitement and potential for this approach is that it could actually regenerate and restore the lost blood vessels in the lung, which could be a curative approach,” Duncan said, who hopes to conduct a larger phase-two trial with more PAH patients in two years’ time. “I think these drugs have been great. They’ve been very helpful, but they’re clearly not going to solve the problem for us.”

Audrey had ritual for prayers
F
or reasons unknown to me at the time, my older sister Audrey, when she had special prayers she felt needed to be sent to God, insisted I kneel with her on the braided rug beside our bed. These were prayers over and above those we had already said at our Mother’s knee at bedtime. I dared to ask Audrey one time why her special prayers couldn’t be included then, and her short retort made it perfectly clear why. “Certainly not. That’s all I need is for Emerson to hear what my special prayers were and all of Renfrew County would know about them before the sun set the next day.” And so, when the need arose, I was asked to join Audrey on the braided rug, and when I asked her why she couldn’t pray on her own, she said she learned at Sunday School that there was “safety
MARY COOK Memories in numbers.” I had no idea what she meant. But Audrey, who did many special favours for me, had a willing partner on the braided rug when she needed it. Questioning the why’s and the wherefore’s was not to concern me. And so, I found myself praying with Audrey for things, which had nothing to do with me whatsoever. This could be anything from being allowed to wear high heels, to finding money for a store-

bought bra, to being asked to go to the strawberry social at the United Church. I thought that last prayer was pushing her luck, since we were Lutherans, but there we were one night, both on our knees by the bed, and Audrey in barely a whisper, asking God to find someone to ask her to the Strawberry Social at the United Church. Well, any doubts I may have been harbouring were soon cast aside when a young man from the Barr Side Road asked
her to the social. I couldn’t believe it! And Audrey leaned over to me after hanging up the phone and said, “See ... safety in numbers.” Long before Audrey got out of public school, we prayed that when the time came, she would graduate from the Entrance Class. Well, I thought that was a needless prayer, since she was just about the smartest one at the Northcote School! But she wanted to be sure, as those farm girls who didn’t make it out of the Entrance Class, ended up doing housework for the rich people in Renfrew. Audrey couldn’t think of a worse fate. More than once I was caught with my mind somewhere else too. Audrey had always instructed me to keep close attention to what she was saying, and I was to repeat the prayer silently to myself. I can no longer remember what the prayer was about, but my mind certainly was not on

what Audrey was praying for that night. My sister poked me in the ribs, which was my cue to say, “Please God, hear our prayer.” As soon as Audrey’s elbow connected with me, I tried in vain to remember what we had been praying for, and for the life of me, couldn’t bring up one word Audrey had said. She had to repeat the prayer, which didn’t please her one bit. Audrey’s prayers could be long, depending on what she had on her “want list.” That’s when I lost track of what she was praying for. I could see no reason why she had to go into such detail with her prayers, convinced as I was that, as long as you let God know it was you, He would take care of the rest. All you had to do, I thought then, was to think of the prayer and that was as good as saying it. However, I was never able to get Audrey into that way of thinking about prayer. She said too, it would be much better if after the prayers were over, we both said “Amen” at the exact same time. I thought this was just
another way of my sister making sure I was paying attention to what she was praying for. And then one night, the end of our praying together just about came to an end. That was the night Audrey was praying at great length, about what, I no longer remember. She had come to a pause, and it was long enough for me to think we were all finished, and so I let out a loud “Amen.” Well, didn’t that open a can of worms. Audrey said she was just pausing, she wasn’t finished, and I had jumped the gun with the Amen, and so we had to say the prayer all over again. My sister eventually came to the conclusion that unless I was listening, paying attention, repeating the prayers where necessary, she was better off if she prayed alone. That was a good decision, I thought. It didn’t stop Audrey from getting down on the rug in front of our bed when the need arose. It just meant that what she was saying and thinking was between her and God, and she didn’t need a fidgeting sixyear-old sister to interfere.

Riverside South artist showcases Canadiana talents Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
From the glaze on a fingernail to the precise mathematical scaling of a shoe size, no small detail escapes the attention of Maria Saracino, a sculptor whose Canadiana show is currently at the Shenkman Arts Centre. Saracino, a Riverside South resident, said she’s become not only a sculptor, but a seamstress, painter, and makeup artist as she crafts her detailed figurines from polymer clay. Every last detail of the figurines on display at the AOE Art Gallery has been taken care of by Saracino. Her Hockey Night in Canada piece features a custom made couch, typical of one you’d find in any Canadian basement, two Senators fans and a Maple Leafs fan in custom-sewn and tailored denim jeans and hockey jerseys. The hair is made of a fine wool and the facial expressions carefully carved in and contoured by regular drugstore makeup. “I hope when people look at it, they’ll find something new
every time,” Saracino said. The display, which showcases the figures in the front of the AOE Gallery and throughout the adjoining AOE Arts Council office, features a variety of full figurines, as well as headshot-style 3D portraits of wellknown Canadians such as former Olympian Clara Hughes, astronaught Chris Hadfield and environmentalist David Suzuki. Each piece takes about 20 to 40 hours to make, and are all made in her home. Saracino is a self-taught artist who started out by making Santas and elves shortly after transitioning from a career in graphic design in the ‘90s. Eventually she made a name for herself as a doll-making sculptor, winning a DOTY Award in 2001, which she said is the “Oscars in the doll world.” Saracino decided she wanted to get back into fine art, and began creating different pieces of work for shows. Her current show depicts a wide variety of Canadian activities, from an early morning hockey practice to a proud veteran standing at Remembrance

Day. “My parents immigrated, and a lot of people in Canada are immigrants as well,” she said. “When I ask, ‘what’s the difference between here and your country?’ a lot of people say safety, or lack of fear. But there are also simple things, like watching TV or doing outdoor activities.”
Transforming Landscapes FOR OVER 35 YEARS
She wants each of her pieces to tell a story, and capture a moment in mid-action, like the split second after a person realizes their favourite NHL hockey team has just scored an overtime goal in the playoffs. Some of the faces in her show are inspired by real people, such as the Canadian veteran who graced a Reader’s Digest cover,
others emerge from her imagination. Some show little bits of Saracino herself, such as a familiar nose or face shape. She does put a little bit of herself in all the sculptures – all the lifelines etched into the hands of the sculptures mimic her own. A vernissage to meet the artist was scheduled to be held on
July 26, and the figures will be on display at the gallery until Aug. 16. Several select pieces from the collection are also on display at Ottawa’s Orange Gallery at 290 City Centre Ave. The AOE Art Gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is located on the top floor at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

First-degree murder charge follows stabbing of woman on street
City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Festival Feedback It is critical for me as your City Councillor to receive feedback from local residents regarding issues with any of the festivals that are hosted within our community. From multi-day festivals to one-day events, each festival contributes to the diversity and warmth that Ottawa is well known for. Despite best efforts to mitigate issues on the surrounding community before the festivals open, on-going issues need to be discussed and addressed. I welcome you to forward comments to me if you have matters that I need to be aware of. Jamaica Day The next festival for Mooney’s Bay Park will be JamDay, a celebration of everything Jamaican. Starting at Noon, August 8, come on down for great food, music and fun as Ottawa’s Jamaican community puts on another great celebration.

Police charged a 45-year-old man with first-degree murder one day after the stabbing death of Gail Fawcett in front of an Anna Avenue home. The tranquility of the leafy Carlington street was shattered in the early afternoon of July 21 when, according to witnesses, a naked man holding a knife pursued a screaming woman out of a residence and began stabbing her. The violence was witnessed by an Ottawa paramedic who was responding to a medical call at the address. The paramedic

Chuck Benoit said the medical call came in at 1:04 p.m. “Police attend to all medical calls, unless they’re specifically called off,” said Benoit. “The paramedic arrived on the scene first.” Police wouldn’t confirm the nature of the relationship between Fawcett and the man charged.

ing the stabbing. A pool of blood and a pair of eyeglasses could be seen in the middle of the road, in front of the roped-off paramedic vehicle, as white-suited investigators examined the scene. A Facebook post by the victim’s sister, Sheila Fawcett-Yendall, expresses shock over the killing. “I’m so lost for words...feeling so numb…” wrote Fawcett-Yendall, who posted a photo of the victim sitting with two adult men she says were her sister’s sons. Gino Langevin had his charges read to him in court on July 22, and is next scheduled to appear in court via video on Aug. 10.

The Canadian Tire Centre is beefing up its security for the upcoming season which, in addition to installing walkthrough metal detectors, means fans won’t be allowed to leave the arena and come back during games, even to smoke a cigarette. Senators Sports and Entertainment made the announcement detailing increased security measures on July 21, saying new technology and new policies will be in place before the NHL pre-season starts in September. The NHL is requiring walk-through metal detectors like those used in airports at all arenas by this upcoming season to screen ticket-holders, said the Senators news release. The detectors will be used for all events at the Canadian Tire Centre, not just games, the organization said. But the Senators decision to change
its re-entry policy is not a league mandate, though the league has encouraged it in the past, said Senators Sports and Entertainment president Cyril Leeder. “We’ve been edging this way for a while,” he said. NO RE-ENTRY
The policy change means ticket holders cannot leave the arena during an event and expect to return; re-entering the arena with the same ticket will no longer be allowed. “Exceptions will only be made in the case of emergencies,” said the news release. The release makes special mention of smokers, saying they will “be able to smoke in designated areas outside of the venue both before and after games and events,” but that they will not be able to leave the arena to light up during an event and then get back inside “under any circumstances.” With fewer people smoking and complaints about smoke

entering the arena, the change in policy is “for the benefit of the greater good,” said Leeder. “If you asked me 10 years ago, the number of people going outside for a cigarette was more than a thousand every game between periods, and now it’s down to 100 or 200 a night, so it’s certainly been in decline,” he said. “This (policy) clearly is one that you may have a few people that don’t like it, but from a security point of view and from a fresh air point of view, it’s better for the greater good,” said Leeder.

Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA), students attending school in Ontario are required to be vaccinated against nine diseases: mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis (whooping cough), varicella (chickenpox) and meningococcal disease. Varicella is a required vaccine for children born in 2010 or later. Parents are required to provide this information to school boards at the beginning of the school year when their children start kindergarten, and it is also the parent’s responsibility to regularly send information about new vaccines received by their child to OPH. The City is asking that parents verify and update their children’s immunization information by visiting their website at www.ParentinginOttawa.ca/immunization or by calling 613-580-6744.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) staff are currently working to have up-to-date and verified immunization records by September 2015 for the 150,000 students attending elementary and high schools in Ottawa.
For Tanya Whelan, connecting people to those who make their food is crucial. The founder of TW Events will host the first Ottawa Street Eats Festival at the Aviation Museum on Aug. 1. In addition to showcasing local food and beer, the festival will connect attendees with the brewmasters and chefs who make those products. “I’ve been to many events as a cook and chef and people usually come, enjoy their food and leave,” she said. “They don’t really get to talk to the chefs, who are busy throwing out the food. You never get to know why these people are doing what they’re doing.” Eaters will get the chance to listen to vendors tell the story of their food and beer in a series of talks at the festival. Whelan knows first-hand what it’s like to be unable to connect to those eating your food, having once been a chef in a number of downtown restaurants. She started her events company after she lost her sense of taste in half of her mouth following surgery to restore hearing in her right ear. She first noticed a ringing in her ears in 2013 and soon went to her doctor to get the problem examined. Her doctor told her the hearing problems could be fixed through a surgical process, but that there was a 20 per cent chance her taste buds could be affected
by the surgery. Faced with the decision of losing her hearing and the possibility of losing her sense of taste, Whelan chose to proceed with the surgery. “That was one of the hardest decisions,” she said. “I really enjoy eating out and trying new foods.” Whelan found out months later surgeons had damaged a nerve, which destroyed her sense of taste on one side of her mouth. “Everything tasted like metal,” she said. “It kind of tastes like you’re sucking on a spoon.” She tried to manage, but soon quit her job as she found herself guessing what things tasted like. The festival, which is her company’s first event, is a way for her to stay close to her passion for food. Ottawa Street Eats will have offerings from a number of local food trucks, including Bytown Bayou, Big D’s Dog House and Poutine Emporium and the Deep Friar. Some of the local brewers include Big Rig Brewery, Kichesippi Beer and Whitewater Brewing Company. The festival, which will run from noon to 8 p.m., will have live music from noon to 5 p.m. and a DJ for the rest of the evening. Tickets for adults are $20 and $10 for children from age six to 13. Children five and under are free. For details, visit facebook.com/ottawastreeteats.

“That whole area was searched, and it’s pretty dense if you have an overview of it. It’s pretty dense bush in most areas,” said J.P. Trottier, paramedic spokesperson, who did not have additional details on the man’s health status. While the park was not closed to the public, at one point during the search officers requested the public stay out of the area to allow the search team to better concentrate their efforts. Police announced Saturday, July 26, that they had located Cheng “safe and sound.” Benoit declined to say where the man was found due to the nature of the investigation, only that the man was returned home. “We don’t identify mental state. We don’t identify location of (where he was found),” he said.

A missing Ottawa man who was spotted with a collector’s sword at Conroy Pit late last week has been located “safe and sound.” Hung-Kai Cheng, 32, was reported missing Wednesday, July 22, by a worried family member, the same day he was last heard from when he was in the Sable Ridge Drive area of Upper Hunt Club. Police said Cheng was spotted twice with a sword the following afternoon on July 23 at Conroy Pit, a popular dog-walking site. Officers set up a mobile command centre in the park’s main parking lot near Conroy and Hunt Club roads. “The male was passive, and was not act-
ing in a threatening manner,” police said in a statement at the time. “It’s just a ceremonial sword that he had collected,” Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman, said of the weapon, adding that Cheng was considered armed, but not dangerous. When asked what the man was doing with the blade, Benoit said, “We’re not going to discuss the reasons why he was there that would identify a mental state.” More than 10 officers with the police Emergency Services Unit and the police canine unit searched the green space around the clock. Members of the Ottawa paramedic public safety unit also assisted, combing the area on an all-terrain vehicle, and posting a photo of the missing Asian man at the park.

Riverview Park resident co-authors lupus guide for young people Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Life with lupus can be fabulous. Just ask Jodie NimigonYoung, who was diagnosed with the chronic illness at 13, and Jessica Kundapur, who was diagnosed at 26. Hoping to inspire teens and young adults by sharing their own personal experiences and give young people information to help them live a fabulous life, the pair have co-authored Fabulupus: How to be young, successful and fabulous (with lupus). The resource guide is the first book of its kind written for young people, said NimigonYoung. “I wish there was something like this sooner,” said the Riverview Park resident, mother of two and social worker at the Ottawa Hospital. “It would have given me reassurance that everything was going to be OK and someone had been through this before. “That’s kind of the key piece too is that we’re not just adults

Riverview Park resident Jodie Nimigon-Young and her co-author, Jessica Kundapur, will be signing their first book, ‘Fabulupus’ at Perfect Books in Ottawa on Aug. 1. that have lupus. We’ve gone through all those awkward stages of life with lupus.” It can be a difficult illness to explain to others. Though commonly characterized by chronic fatigue and arthritis, the chronic illness can affect people differently. “They call it a disease of a
thousand faces, which means no two people have exactly the same symptoms,” said Nimigon-Young, who suffers a range of symptoms when her lupus flares up, including exhaustion, breathing difficulties, nose and mouth sores as well as hair loss. Nine in 10 people diagnosed are women.

“They still don’t know the cause. They still don’t have a cure. It’s all about management,” said Nimigon-Young, who takes medication and is careful not to overtax herself. Her symptoms began when she was five years old. Though tested for lupus at age eight, it wasn’t until she was 13 that her
arthritis, fatigue, chronic back pain, sporadic rashes and nose and mouth sores were diagnosed. While Nimigon-Young said her flares are mild, others may suffer flares that lead to brain or kidney damage. There is much uncertainty about when a flare will strike or how serious it will be. “I have to live my life and I have to plan my life – as much as I feel great and I haven’t had a flare in over 10 years – as if I may have one at any moment, but at the same time enjoy my life. “You have to prepare for the future without living with a dark cloud over your head,” Nimigon-Young. As a teen and young adult, she was involved with Lupus Canada and Lupus Ontario, serving as the youth contact for young people and their parents across the country. She even started her own support group in her hometown of Toronto. “It was often parents contacting me, not just teenagers calling and asking for help,” Nimigon-Young said.
It was through her volunteer work that she connected with Kundapur, a private consultant specializing in ethics around clinical trials. The pair began working on their book eight years ago and released it in January. “Every chapter has examples from our own lives on how we navigated complicated situations while living with lupus,” Nimigon-Young said. Chapters explore topics on relationships, school, self-esteem, staying active and employment. The co-authors are considering writing a book for adults. Even at 33 years old, Nimigon-Young said she is still learning how to live with the illness. “It’s ever-evolving,” she said. “So you don’t always have to have it together, and it’s OK.” Nimigon-Young and Kundapur will be holding their first book signing at Perfect Books, located at 258 Elgin St., on Aug. 1, from 1 to 3 p.m. Their book is also available at amazon.com and chapters. indigo.ca.

The OHS has developed program guidelines that follow best practices in shelter medicine to ensure that we are able to provide as much help to these tiny kittens as we can. Currently, 70 kittens are benefiting from this life-saving program. To learn more visit http:// www.ottawahumane.ca/kitten.
The Kitty I was found in an apartment - left behind when the tenants moved out. Then I was adopted from the Humane Society by a lovely violin teacher. But oh boy, did I hate the sound of those violins! I just hid under the furniture with my paws over my ears, wishing the violin students would just leave. Nobody ever saw me. Then the violin teacher became very sick, and I was headed back to the Humane Society! Luckily one of the violin families adopted me, and now that the kids have grown up and left home, I am left with no horrible violins to upset my peace and quiet. You can see how happy I am now. I am a Happy little Torty - (a tortoiseshell/tabby) and my name is just “The Kitty”.

Ontario Leading Fight Against Climate Change
Ottawa badminton player wins Pan Am silver
Over the past few decades, the global warming debate has become climate change reality. The more greenhouse gases that we put into our atmosphere, the more we experience extreme, unpredictable weather events. Ontario is taking action to cut emissions and build more climate-resilient communities.

Nepean native Andrew D’Souza thought he had reached the high point of his badminton career when he competed in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. That was before he defeated the top-seeded player in the 2015 Pan Am Games and went on to take home the silver medal in men’s singles. D’Souza won the silver medal on Submitted July 16 after a hard-fought final match Andrew D’Souza won a Pan Am silver medal for badminton after defeating the top seedagainst Guatemala’s Kevin Cordon, ed player in the men’s singles to get to the gold medal final. who captured the gold. D’Souza was not able to overcome Gordon in the R0013385249 two-set final, but by that point had already defeated the competition’s top seeded player in the semifinal game. “Hearing the crowd roar when I won was definitely the greatest experience of my life,” he said of the semifinal victory, which guaranteed him a I am pleased to announce the opening of my practice in Pediatrics. medal.

SEMIFINAL
In a David-and-Goliath-like match on July 14, D’Souza – the only unseeded player in the singles semifinals – faced top-seed Osleni Guerrero of Cuba, ranked about 150 places above D’Souza. After a 13-21 loss in the first set, D’Souza turned the game around dramatically. He said the roars of the fans, which he knew contained his mother, cousins and members of Ottawa’s RA Centre where he trains, drove him to play harder. “That game I felt like I really used the crowd. The crowd support really helped me,” he said. “They were very loud and there were a lot of people and they really carried me throughout the match and helped me focus and really fired me up.” Within three sets, D’Souza had secured a win against Guerrero, guaranteeing himself at least silver medal and a chance to win the gold medal, and reaching the highest point of his career.

This month, Ontario hosted the Climate Summit of the Americas, which brought together provinces, states, cities, Indigenous leaders, environmental groups and industry representatives. At the Summit, our province led 22 other states and regions in signing the first-ever Pan-American Climate Action Statement. It includes commitments to support carbon pricing, ensure public reporting, take action in key sectors, and meet existing greenhouse gas reduction agreements. Ontario has already made significant progress by closing the last of the province’s coal-fired power plants. Our phasing-out of coal stands as North America’s single greatest action to fight climate change — equivalent to taking seven million cars off the road. And Ontario has gone from experiencing 53 smog days in 2005 to none this past year. Together with our other government partners, Ontario is showing that fighting climate change is not only possible, but also the right thing to do for our economy, our planet and our children’s future.

D’Souza was so overcome with emotion that as onlookers cheered, he stripped off his shirt and threw it into the crowd. D’Souza said it’s something he does sometimes when he feels particularly good about a game. “I’m kind of known for that actually. It’s a little embarrassing but I’ve done it a couple times,” he said. “I really just got caught up in the emotions. I did want to throw it in the crowd but I realized I needed a shirt for the final too.”
Having defended his title as Canada’s top-ranked male singles player, D’Souza has returned to Ottawa with plans to continue competing in the national circuit and the odd international tournament. In September he will return to the University of Ottawa to study kinesiology full-time – he reduced his course load during the winter semester of 2015 to train for the Pan Am Games – and has his sights set on medical school. D’Souza, a graduate of St. Pius X High School, wants to be a neurologist. He also wants to compete in the Pan Am Games a
