‘Small moments’ policy killed for Centretown Pocket-park plans dropped by city following criticism from both developers, residents Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Small moments for Centretown are dead. Following a public meeting that elicited largely negative feedback
from both residents and developers, the city’s planning department is dropping the possibility of a new policy that would have allowed property owners to create small parks or public squares in exchange for being able to move around density on their site. Represenatives of land-development interests, including Russell Kronkick, owner of 267 O’Connor St. and Ted Fobert, senior planner for FoTenn consulting, dismissed the proposed policy during a June 9 meeting.

Proud to be Canadian Rula Agarshi helps capture the moment at the end of the swearing-in ceremony where her husband, Samir El-Tawil, and children officially become Canadian citizens. The family moved to Ottawa seven years ago, and has been seeking citizenship for the past two years. Overcome with emotion, like many of the 40 immigrant families who took the oath at Brewer Park on June 28, El-Tawil said this is a great day. To read the full story, turn to page 22.
University of Ottawa suspends men’s hockey program 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

Ottawa West News - Thursday, July 3, 2014
“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 offending 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 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 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.
Steph Willems/Metroland
University of Ottawa president Allan Rock speaks to members of the media on June 25 at Tabaret Hall. Like the students, the coaches would also have to sign off on their knowledge and understanding of the new policies. 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.”
Cyclists asked to craft O’Connor bikeway North-south route will have separated bike lanes in each direction, could include Metcalfe News - Participants at a June 26 workshop put markers, rulers, stickers and transparency sheets to work to try to design their own O’Connor bike lane. Around 100 amateur transportation planners – mostly cyclists – were asked to use the crafty tools to build separated cycling lanes for a 2.1kilometre stretch of O’Connor Street from Parliament Hill to Glebe Avenue. The city has designated the route as a “high priority” and cross-town bikeway in the recently adopted transportation master plan. The plan also indicates the route should be separated from vehicles in some way, whether it’s by using curbs like on the Laurier Avenue segregated bike lane, raised cycle tracks like Churchill Avenue, bollards, planters, posts or even a wider painted buffer – or a combination of those elements. The only caveat: the street must keep two lanes for vehicular traffic and the width of the road can’t change. Ron Clark, a consultant from Parsons (formerly Delcan) hired to work on the project, explained the city wants a bike facility that offers a safer and more com-
fortable route in both directions north-south. That might mean bi-directional bike lanes on O’Connor, Clark said, or if necessary, it would mean building lanes on both O’Connor and Metcalfe streets. Participants in the session quickly discovered the challenges inherent in designing such a facility. Parts of O’Connor are wider than others, there is street parking in various places along the route, it changes from a one-way to a two-way street in the Glebe and worst of all, it has a lot of vehicle-turning movements where the street connects to Highway 417 onramps. Each group in the workshop had one section of O’Connor to plan. For a group looking at the north end of O’Connor near Wellington Street, a bike lane in each direction on the east side of O’Connor seemed like the best plan. But another group grappling with how to get cyclists safely under the Queensway concluded that keeping bike traffic to the very west side of the street and then giving cyclists their own traffic signal would be the safest way to handle the tricky four-lane section, where a lot of car traffic turns right onto the highway on-ramp and Catherine Street.
Making matters worse, people were engaged in the only a few metres after that, O’Connor consultation. And all car traffic must turn left he didn’t recognize many of onto Isabella Street, where them as cycling-advocacy bikes are currently allowed fixtures, he said. “This is very different.” to continue straight into the Clark said he wanted to Glebe. Most participants noted learn from the process of setthat removing at least some ting up the Laurier bike lane parking – and perhaps a lot of on-street spaces – would likely be required to fit bike lanes in. Instead of drafting potential solutions and presenting them to the public, Clark said his team wants to start fresh with ideas from people who will bike along the route, or who live and have businesses there. Any tour. Any “We’re really looking for time. Never expire! this community-driven exercise to inspire us and inform us,” Clark said. Parsons will also get advice from Holland-based firm Mobycon, which is also advising Parsons on its project to design a cycle track for the “complete-street” rebuild of Main Street. Alex DeVries of Citizens for Safe Cycling said he was blown away by the interest in the O’Connor bikeway workshop. Compared to planning the Laurier Avenue bike lane, which was never a sure bet because it was a pilot project, DeVries said more than three times the number of
pilot project, which he followed closely. “The main takeaway is making sure we have a good understanding of all the users of the street – businesses, parking and loading requirements and those who need a barrier-free area,” he said.
Parsons will present its proposed design for the bike lanes in early 2015. To send suggestions and connect with the study team, visit ottawa.ca/oconnorbikeway or send email inquiries to robert.grimwood@ottawa. ca.

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 opportunities. “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.” 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.

Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa celebrates growing numbers Membership, satisfaction best ever, says new club head Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa celebrated a banner year and is looking forward to continued success -- that was the message delivered during its annual general meeting held June 24 at the club’s Dumaurier Avenue location. Offering after-school, weekend and summer education and recreation programs, the club serves more than 4,500 Ottawa youth between the ages of six and 18 each year. Last November, the club saw the arrival of new executive director Coleen Mooney, who said the experience so far has been a rewarding challenge. “From the get-go, lots of friends have been asking me how things are and how I’m enjoying the job, and I have to say I haven’t been bored for a moment,� said Mooney. “It has been exciting, exhilarating, engaging and really inspiring. Everyone I’ve met who works at the (club), the members, the board of directors, everyone I’ve met inspires me to do my best every
day, because this really is an amazing organization.� Mooney said that 2013 was “a pretty amazing year for the club,� with the current year shaping up to meet or surpass last year’s successes. Not only has membership grown, so too has the number of visits per member, showing that the club’s programs are increasingly relevant and rewarding for young people. “Every year we survey all of our members and we ask them for feedback,� said Mooney. “In 2013, the results were the highest achieved to date. Eighty-seven per cent of our members said that program staff encouraged them to be the best that they can be, 86 per cent said that coming to the (club) made them think positively of their future. “One of the most amazing and inspiring results, for me, was that 90 per cent of our youth members said that they want to make the world a better place. Clearly the (club) is fulfilling its mandate to help children and youth grow up to responsible and civic-minded adults.� Memberships at the club
have risen 42 per cent between 2009 and 2013. The club’s board of directors went through a shake-up during the AGM, with four members stepping down (three of them after six years’ service). Jennifer North, Janice McDonald, Bernie Burns and Catherine Decarie were thanked for their service by board chair Graham Macmillan. “They’re amazing people,� said Macmillan. “You don’t see them very much - they’re in the background - but their contribution to this club has been phenomenal.� Replacing the departing members on the board are Doris Ramphos, a charitable fundraising expert, Michael Wilson, a businessman with a MBA degree from the Harvard Business School, Mark Groper, an experienced entrepreneur and past director of private and public companies, and Roberto Campagna, founder of Roca Homes. The meeting concluded with the recognition of the club’s members and volunteers, as well as the awarding of seven different scholarships to 11 deserving youth.

Brewer Park pond won’t stay landlocked for long Summer conservation project aims to link pond with Rideau River Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Whatever creatures lurk in the depths of the Brewer Park pond will soon have an escape route, should they choose to take the plunge to the outside world. The landlocked body of water near the banks of the Rideau River has existed since the 1960s, when a public project reformed the river’s shoreline to create a walking path and a swimming hole for park-goers. The swimming hole soon gained a reputation due to its cloudy water, algae and unseen wildlife, but besides the loss of swimmers the area’s habitat hasn’t changed much in the past half-century. A project to allow the currently landlocked pond to interact with the nearby river will soon be underway, with the goal of rejuvenating the pond’s ecosystem. The Brewer Park Pond Restoration Project has a wide variety of
partners – the city, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Muskies Canada, Carleton University and the Ottawa South Community Association, while the funding for the project is coming from developers Minto and Richcraft Homes. On his website, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the community association “was vital in bringing the residents and the partners together to ensure a project with environmental and social benefits acceptable to the community.� The river connection will be achieved through a submerged culvert, explained biologist Jennifer Lamoureux of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. “To maintain the existing pathway usage, we’re submerging a culvert at the east end of the pond to let the Rideau backflow into the pond and create a mixing effect,� said Lamoureux. “This will allow fish and turtles and other species to go in and out of

Lamoureux said the pond’s current depth of two metres will be doubled to four metres in the aim of improving the water quality, while shaded areas will be created to boost biodiversity. Work is expected to take seven or eight weeks, starting in early August.

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.

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-

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?

surrounded by pine trees. 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.
Perhaps he has a well-developed sense of style and doesn’t want to get insect repellent on his nice clothes. I don’t know. Do we want that to be described that way? If not, we’d better hit the highway some time soon.

Please mind your head BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the long term negative impact of untreated concussion on children’s development, the most important treatment recommendations are around rest. Too often, says Zemek, 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
The comprehensive recommendations also offer a return-to-normal activity schedule for kids that have suffered concussion, varying from complete rest to limited schooling, and then moderate (non-contact) physical activities, gradually working their way back to playing sports and a full school curriculum over time. I like my kids to take risks, within reason. I want them to play soccer, climb ropes and ride bicycles (with a helmet, of course). The CHEO guidelines are a user-friendly manual that can help my kids – and their mom – to experience these things without fear that a concussion will cause permanent developmental problems. And if my eldest son gets his way
‘If your child goes back to activities before they are completely better, they are more likely to get worse and have symptoms longer.’ 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.
and starts playing tackle football next year, well, I’ll be sure to get some baseline neurological testing done – as per the recommendations – and pay the big bucks for the best helmet around. Or maybe I’ll just talk him into something a little less dangerous, like water polo. For now, let the summer games begin.

anada Day often marks the official start of summer in this country. 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. On June 25, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario released the first ever set of pediatric concussion guidelines for doctors, parents, teachers and caregivers of children. Developed by CHEO scientist Dr. Roger Zemek in 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-soobvious 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

Beat the Bite!
Connected to your community
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. • Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin. • Wear light colours- mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours. • 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.
• 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. • Keep swimming pools clean and properly chlorinated; remove standing water from pool covers. • Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left outdoors so that water can drain out. 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).

Proposal wouldn’t have benefits with no requirements, residents say Continued from page 1
If the city isn’t willing to give landowners anything extra in the form of more lenient zoning, they said, the city can’t expect developers to be willing to build a park or public space. Residents agreed, saying they couldn’t see how the proposed policy would have any benefit if it provided no requirement or benefit for developers to follow through. Cheryl Brouillard, the city
planner in charge of the study, sent an email to stakeholders on June 26 indicating she will recommend against the city’s planning committee adopting a small moments policy. “After due consideration and deliberation of the small moments study, the department will not be undertaking any further changes to the Centretown secondary plan/ (Official Plan amendment) 117,” she wrote. Her manager declined to elaborate further on why the
department recommended dropping the idea. “This is the subject of a report and recommendation by planning and growth management staff that is scheduled to be considered at the July 8 planning committee,” the city’s manager of policy development and urban design, Lee Ann Snedden, wrote in an email. “An interview at this time would be premature but we would be pleased to answer any questions after the committee presentation.”

Slow traffic The Lees Avenue overpass at the Queensway bit the dust on the evening of June 21 – a key part of the ongoing Highway 417 widening project. Here, workers spread gravel to protect the road surface in advance of the heavy lifter that removed the span in one piece. A new, longer span is currently being constructed on site to replace the former, shorter span. Lees Avenue will be closed for the remainder of the summer at the Queensway, until the new bridge is moved into place.

Glebe residents reject fire station pathway 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 network 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 oneblock 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 one-way 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 paint-

City staffer Heidi Cousineau speaks with Glebe resident Elizabeth Ballard at an information session presenting plans for a neighbourhood cycling network for the Glebe on June 25. ed 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 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. The full plans can be viewed on ottawa.ca by searching for “Glebe neighbourhood cycling plan.”

People drop more than money at new charity event Participants rappel down 14 storeys for Make-A-Wish 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.

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney takes a few tentative steps as he rappels down the side of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel on June 28. As part of the proof that Newby and others made it from top to bottom, each participant had their photo taken
with a sign reading “I did it.� And for those who were feeling less brave, but proud supporters of friends and fam-
ily, there was plenty to do including a rock climbing wall, food, music and a bouncy castle.

New rules could bolster Sandy Hill’s heritage Management plans for five conservation districts in the works Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The city wants to add more heft to the first “experimental” heritage districts it designated in Sandy Hill in the 1980s. District management plans, which outline how property owners must tackle things like restoration and maintenance work, renovations and demolitions as well as building new infill homes, are being drafted for five small heritage conservation districts in the neighbourhood. The districts were adopted in 1982 and were the first of their kind in Ottawa and some of the earliest districts designated in the province under the Ontario Heritage Act, said Lesley Collins, a city heritage planner in charge of the project. “There were no guidelines adopted along with the districts,” she said. “It was early days and sort of an experiment in some ways.” Residents whose homes fall within the districts have certain responsibilities to consider and could qualify for restoration grant benefits, but many don’t even know their homes are in a heritage area, Collins said. “Part of this is some public education,” she said. Once the city adopts the plans, which should happen in August, homeowners’ responsibilities for their heritage conservation district properties will become clearer. City staff will use the plans to evaluate any proposals to develop or renovate buildings that fall within the districts. Heritage conservation districts in Sandy Hill include: • King Edward Avenue district: eight properties on the east side of King Edward between Wilbrod Street and Laurier Avenue;
• Stewart Wilbrod district: a handful of buildings in the centre of the block bounded by King Edward Avenue and Nelson Street; • Sweetland district: contains all the homes on both sides of Sweetland Avenue from the second lot south of Laurier Avenue to Osgoode Street; • Daly Avenue district: the largest district, which includes almost all properties facing Daly between King Edward Avenue and Cobourg Street, as well as a few buildings on Friel, Augusta and Besserer streets; • Wilbrod/Laurier district: an irregularly shaped area centered around the block of Wilbrod between Chapel and Charlotte streets. Collins said expanding or changing the boundaries of those districts was not considered because it would open them up to a possible appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board, which runs the risk of undesignating the entire district. “We have not shut the door,” on new districts, Collins said, adding that it would require council to give the direction to study that possibility. There is already a long list of areas requested for her-
itage districts studies. A second part of Collin’s project involves declaring a large swath of Sandy Hill as a “character area.” The designation doesn’t come with any teeth, but its guidelines encourage the retention of the neighbourhood’s historic fabric and guide what types of new development are appropriate for the area. The criteria will be similar to the rules used for the heritage districts, but the directions will only serve as suggestions for the rest of the neighbourhood. Collins said a zoning tool called a heritage overlay was considered, which would have out stricter rules on the size of additions and new homes that replace historic homes lost to fire or other disaster. But the city would have to dig deeper and conduct a more in-depth zoning study before an overlay could be considered. Chad Rollins of Action Sandy Hill said he got a sense that people who attended a June 26 open house were pleased that something was being done with the districts, but hoped the protections would have gone further. “The sense I got is they’re glad to see some action,” Rollins said. “But I’m not sure if it’s enough.” He focused on the fact that guidelines for the heritage character area are not enforceable.

Arts - In a shocking turn of events, King Gordon Hawkes is returning to reign over the Kingdom of Osgoode during the village’s seventh annual medieval festival this July. King Gordon was thought dead after he was deposed from the throne several years ago, but he had just forgotten he was king, said organizer Trudy Quinn. “It seems he had a very bad bout of amnesia,” she said. “So Gord is our king returned, he and his lovely wife Deborah.” Just in time, too, since King Davis was run off the festival grounds by a mob of kids at the end of last year’s fair. This game of thrones is a tradition at Osgoode’s annual fest, which this year spans from Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13. Kings never seem to last long in the throne, but one hopes knights might fare better, since four area noble people will be given the title during the king’s night on July 11. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson and his wife Mary Lynne will be knighted alongside Jim and Judy Beverage, in honour of their contributions to the community. Thompson is retiring after 30 years of public service as mayor and councillor of the Osgoode region. In previous years, Thompson has spent time in the stocks throughout the weekend. This year, candidates running to replace him at city council will do time, instead. “He’s been so good for so many years, so this year
he’s free. His penance has been paid,” Quinn said. The Beverages are longtime business owners and philanthropists in the area. “They are kind of like that quiet entity behind things,” Quinn said. “They support everything they can.” The Beverages own the Osgoode plaza and the field next door, where the festival has been held for the past seven years. Every summer the field is filled with revellers looking to party like its 1309. Jousters entertain the crowds with their daring stunts, serfs serve up delicious delicacies of the dark ages and dancers and musicians maintain the festive atmosphere all weekend. The weekend is filled with archery, dancing, sword play, kid’s games, a children’s castle, live music, and vendors. It’s the only festival of its kind in this region. This year, the formal king’s feast of previous years has been changed to a more casual cocktail night on Friday, July 11 at the Osgoode Community Centre. Instead of a full dinner, guests can enjoy appetizers and drinks and a full line-up of entertainment, headlined by Celtic Sea. Friday morning and afternoon, the good folks of the Kingdom of Osgoode will welcome hundreds of students and children from across the region for the annual education day. Children reign over the kingdom for the day as they learn about the lives of their medieval ancestors. For a complete schedule of events, visit osgoodemedievalfestival.com.
10,000 drivers involved in collisions with animals every year News - Ontario boasts some of the most scenic driving for those who live in and visit the province’s vast rural communities, but it comes with a cost with more than 10,000 drivers a year being involved in wildlife collisions.

Proud to be Canadian
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. 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. 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.

Ottawa MPPs keep cabinet roles Ottawa East News staff
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 – Marie-France Lalonde and John Fraser – were not added to the cabinet.

Lisa MacLeod addresses election night-supporters at a pub in Manotick on June 12. With PC leader Tim Hudak stepping down, the Nepean-Carleton MPP has said she isn’t ruling out challenging for the party’s top spot later this year.
MacLeod calls for PC party to return to grassroots Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said she hasn’t ruled out a run for leadership of the Ontario Conservative party. MacLeod wrote an opinion
piece in the Toronto Star on June 23 where she called for the party to return to its grassroots. “We’ve lost that connection with people who purchased the $10 membership card,” she said later to Metroland Media. The Liberal majority on June 12 was a message to the party,
Macleod said. “Despite the undeniable weaknesses of the Liberal government’s record and its credibility stretching plan to spend more while still balancing the books, voters returned the Liberals with a majority,” she wrote in the Star. She said whoever the
party selects as the next leader will need to have the energy to rebuild the party over the next four years, then plan policy for the next eight and 12 years. MacLeod also said the PCs have to do better at courting urban and suburban voters. “We need a person who understands urban, suburban and rural concerns, one who gets the complex makeup of this province,” she said, adding NepeanCarleton has a large rural area, as well as suburbs and many new immigrant Canadians. “We need to stay fiscally conservative, and stay true to our principles, but also talk a lot more about new hospitals and schools – something we have traditionally been afraid to talk about,” MacLeod said, adding she has been active with the Queensway Carleton Hospital and is aware of the schools needed in the growing communities of Findlay Creek, Riverside South and Barrhaven. “When people send their taxes to Queen’s Park they expect services,” MacLeod said. The PC executive will establish rules for the leadership race on July 5. If MacLeod decides to throw her hat in the ring, she will likely face competition from Christine Elliot, wife of the late finance minister Jim Flaherty, who announced her intention to run on June 25. There’s a website dedicated to wooing federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and another site entitled draft Baird – calling for Foreign Minister John Baird to enter the leadership race.

Ashbury student sets sights on Miss Teen Canada crown Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - A Nepean resident 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, Karina, 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. 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,” Karina 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 that 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 Karina’s case she wants people to adopt animals from shelters rather than buying from stores. “I really think the work of the Ottawa Humane Society does is great,” she said. “We got our dog there.” Karina said her participation in pageants has helped to increase her social skills. “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.”

From blondes to bitters, craft beer taking over at Watson’s Mill artisans that they are.” And the field is growing. Several breweries on tap for July 11 are new within the past few years, and it seems a new brewery launches in the region every few months. “We’ve definitely noticed a growth in the market in Ottawa,” said Fournier, who added that Ottawa is becoming known, not for a particular style, but rather for sheer variety. “There’s a tendency here to embrace ingredients that are very Canadian in nature, like maple syrup.” Fournier currently brews his Turtle Head beer at the Broadhead facility but he is seriously considering a permanent location in Manotick. He said he has shown interest in the Dickinson Square redevelopment

News - As many as 14 local craft breweries will set up shop under one roof on July 11 as part of the Watson’s Mill craft beer tasting event. This could well be the province’s largest craft beer event, said mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion – at the very least the biggest craft beer gathering in the area. “We’re so excited. It’s crazy,” she said. “Only 150 guests can attend the event, so think about the ratio. Usually the breweries will bring anywhere from four to seven different types, so there’s a very, very solid variety of craft beers that will be available for sampling.” Tickets are $35 each for the general public and $30 for members of Watson’s Mill, a historic grist mill located in the heart of Manotick village. Tickets include five four-ounce samples, and guests can buy extra samples for $2 each. It’s such a good deal that the historic site had a line-up down the street last year, Geoffrion said. They had to turn away about 50 people, including her own step-father. That’s exactly why JP Fournier is returning with his Turtle Head brewery, which launched at last year’s event with great fanfare – even taking home the evening’s peoples’ choice award. “For new craft brewers that (level of interest) definitely bodes well, because it means people are going to be coming out and trying our beers,” said Fournier, who is also involved in National Capital Beer Week. And since Watson’s Mill is only a short
process, and has spent the past year “getting a feel for the village” and sponsoring local events. Talk of a local village brewery has been tossed around since the Dickinson Square project began – and several of the five historic buildings in the square are zoned for it. Geoffrion said there’s been an increasing interest in local beers, a fact she put to use last year to revamp the mill’s long-running beer event with some artisanal flavour. “We realized craft beer was a fun, trendy subject,” she said. “It’s a young industry in many ways.” Tickets are available at Watson’s Mill or online at eventbrite.ca. The mill is located at 5525 Dickinson St. in Manotick.

News - Carlsbad Springs residents sent a clear message on June 25 at the sixth open house for the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre in Carlsbad Springs. “Dump this dump,” they chanted, as they followed in behind one another, circling the centre tables of the open house for about five minutes. The residents are part of a group called Dump This Dump and are opposing the proposed CRRRC on Boundary Road. “I think we made the message very clear, Mr. Taggart,” said Lucie Regimbald, a member of the Dump This Dump group to a packed room. Before residents entered the meeting, they rallied in the Carlsbad Springs Community Centre’s parking lot, and prepared co-ordinated efforts. Many members were decked out in Dump This Dump hats or tshirts. “Make sure they know the way we feel,” said Don Bedard to the group of residents before they entered. “We don’t want this…!” Taggart Miller has long defended the proposed centre, and said there will be minimal impacts to the community. Representatives have said they plan to divert as much waste as possible into recycling methods, though the community has questioned the exact percentage. Only 12 per cent is required to be diverted under provincial standard, but Tag-

Don Bedard, centre, speaks to Carlsbad Springs residents, many of whom are part of the Dump This Dump group, before the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre open house on June 25. gart Miller representatives have said they hope to be able to divert a higher percentage of waste. The proposed centre – called the CRRRC for short, but “the dump” by residents” – is for industrial and commercial waste. Hubert Bourque, the project manager for Taggart Miller, said he hoped residents would take the time to read through the draft environmental assessment notes that were presented at the open house on boards. “For most people, it’s onerous to review a document like this,” he said. Much of the feedback received so far has been generic opposition to the project, rather than feedback on elements of the proposed assessment, he said. “We’ve summarized infor-
mation we’ve found,” Bourque said As the project evolves and we better definite it, we expect the level of opposition to diminish,”. Dump This Dump president Sue Langlois said the group is still strongly opposed. “We’re completely opposed, we have not wavered,” she said. “What we’re trying to get out there is there is no need for this toxic, risky project. You’ll see the community is out here in great support.” The draft EA is a very lengthy and technical document. That’s part of the reason the city gave the Dump This Dump group $50,000 to hire outside experts, said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais. Blais said the city will provide its own technical feedback near the end of July. “I think this is a crazy proposal for this area,” Blais said. “The city provided very detailed concerns about a year ago that were largely ignored by the province.” Blais said residents face an additional challenge because the small area is represented by three different MPPs – with residents in the ridings of Ottawa-Orléans, Nepean-Carleton and Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.

George Willes stands in front of a map of the Rideau Canal at his now former school, the St. Laurent Academy. George completed a project this school year in his Grade 8 class titled Was the Rideau Canal Worth the Cost of Construction? that was chosen for the Young Citizens history fair. From there, George was one of 200 students to move onto the national level. To compete at the national level, students turned their projects into four minute videos on the Young Citizens website at youngcitizens.ca. One of the history units he did at school this year focused on local history and the development of Bytown.
Teacher Jeff Grove said local history isn’t part of the Grade 8 curriculum, but he designed a unit focusing on Ottawa’s development that included a fictional book written from the point of view of a boy who helped build the canal. “It was cool learning about it, and interesting to see the canal from a 16-year-old boy’s point
Pet Adoptions Scotty (A166789) is a charming feline who is looking for a forever home to call his own. Scotty lives for chin scratches and afternoons spent watching the world go by from up high in his cat condo. He often seeks out sunny spots for cat naps and puts a lot of gusto into playtime! Scotty gets along well with adults who can read his cues and will indulge his playful spurts. For more information on Scotty and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

PET OF THE WEEK Hi, my name is Teddi, and I am 3 years old. Mom and I made a long trip from China, where I was born, to my forever home here in Ottawa! I am a mutt, but a doggy DNA test found four breeds in me: Italian Greyhound, Lhasa Apso, Pomeranian, and Shih Tzu, phew! I love to run around the park across from my house in Centretown, especially when there are other little dogs to play with. On weekends, we visit family in Stittsville – I love those days!

June is “cat month” at the Ottawa Humane Society — the month where stray and abandoned felines start arriving by the boxful. Many arrive in need of intensive care and treatment before they can be placed in their new, forever homes. Last year, the OHS launched its successful Kitten Brigade program — a fast-track foster initiative to boost the number of foster homes and place some of the shelter’s most vulnerable cats and kittens into temporary homes as soon as possible, so that they receive

News - The Rideau Canal cost what is now equivalent to $4 billion to build. Was it worth it? “The canal was very much worth it’s cost,” said George Willes. “It provided development for Bytown, faster shipping routes, and a route for warships. And it provides many pleasurable hours to boaters who want to do a nice little cruise.” George is not a historian, but a recent Grade 8 graduate from Orléans. This year, his history project titled Was the Rideau Canal Worth the Cost of Construction? was chosen for a national history fair, the Young Citizens program. The program runs in conjunction with annual Heritage Fairs, and award the top students a trip to Ottawa to attend Canada’s History Forum. The 14-year-old competitor attended St. Laurent Academy, where he put together his project about the canal and its history for a local history fair. He was then one of two Ottawa students chosen to compete at the provincial level in Toronto.
of view,” George said. When his canal project was selected, George and Groves drove around to different canal sites throughout the city, including a cemetery where some of the workers who died were buried. His project examined both the financial cost of the canal, and the high death toll that was associated with the construction. George’s research said as many as a thousand workers died during the construction of the canal, through disease and accidents. Research estimates that half the deaths were from malaria from mosquito bites and working in close contact with others. George’s video is now up against 145 other youngsters from across the country, each of whom created a video on a different project. Some of the students completed local projects on infrastructure – such as George – while others focused on people or events. Canadians can go online and vote for the videos at youngcitizens.ca; the votes will be combined with judges’ opinions to determine the top six.

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.

Puffed wheat dishes, tableware were staples
M
y sister Audrey was being dispatched to Briscoe’s General store, and told to hurry up about it. Father’s sister, Aunt Freda (not Aunt Lizzie who regularly sent the hand-me-down boxes from Regina) was coming for a short visit from Chicago. I had never laid eyes on Aunt Freda, nor had Mother. Our contact was through the odd letter, and a gift of a radio which was of no use whatsoever, since we had no electricity. She would be arriving at the C.P.R. station in Renfrew late in the day, would be there for one day and one night only, and then heading to Arnprior to visit Aunt Nellie and Uncle Henry Wagenblass.
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Well, did that set our house in a frenzy. What to have for supper? Change the bed upstairs, clean from top to bottom, get out the only white tablecloth we owned and which Mother had brought from New York, and try to find dishes that matched. And do all of this before Father headed into Renfrew to bring Aunt Freda out to Northcote. The dishes were the problem. We had a hodgepodge of mismatched dishes, some with a gold maple leaf in the
centre of each plate that had been in our old log house for generations, some with a navy-blue rim around them, and then there were the ones that came in the puffedwheat bag. Without a doubt, they were best of the lot, but we were far from having enough to set a complete table. In fact, there weren’t enough of the puffed wheat dishes to even make one complete setting. I thought everyone in Northcote got their dishes from the puffed-wheat bag.
Unfortunately, the company that put one piece in each bag, gave an overabundance of saucers, and rarely bothered with cups. And so we had an about 12 saucers, no cups, a couple dinner plates, and a small plate Mother called a bread-and-butter plate, which according to Father wasn’t worth taking out of the cupboard. And so Audrey, with me in tow, was heading for Briscoe’s General Store to buy yet another bag of puffed wheat, and hopefully come home with at least one tea cup. To prepare for this errand, Audrey had gone to the sewing basket and taken out a long knitting needle, and I knew exactly why. She also had a short list of things Mother had to have on hand just because Aunt Freda was coming. A bar of Ivory soap, (heaven forbid Aunt Freda would have to use homemade soap reeking of Gillett’s Lye) because regardless how hard Mother tried, she was never able to completely dissolve all the little pieces of lye. When we got to the store, Audrey headed right for the bags of puffed wheat. Although as light as a feather, the bags were big, with a
www.sdic.ca
strip of paper down the front with very small holes in it, so that the customer could see what a wonderful cereal this was. The bags were piled up against the wall, and Audrey, making no attempt to hide what she was up to, got down on her hands and knees and ever so carefully, worked the knitting needle into one bag at a time. She poked away until she hit a piece of china, which the company made awfully sure was right in the middle of the bag. It was my job to see that she didn’t attack the same bag twice. She had worked her way through about 10 bags, when finally she came up for air, and looking like she had just discovered America, took the bag over to the counter, gathered up the other things on Mother’s list, said “please put this on Mother’s bill,” and we headed for the buggy outside. It didn’t take Mother long to rip into the bag, pour out a good portion into a big bowl, and retrieve a cup. Now, Aunt Freda would have a cup and saucer that matched, and a dinner and bread and butter plate, all thanks to a bag of puffed wheat.

None of us much liked puffed wheat. And there was always two or three bags tucked away in the cupboard out in the summer kitchen, bought simply for the dish inside. There was no doubt Mr. Briscoe knew exactly what my sister Audrey was up to when she came into the store with the long knitting needle. He paid no attention to her at all. And when I asked Audrey if what she was doing was considered dishonest, she said, “Certainly not. We bought a bag of puffed wheat, didn’t we?” And when I visited school friends in Northcote, and stayed for a meal, their tables too were set with an assortment of mismatched dishes. And always there would be a plate, or a saucer, with the fluted edge, circled in a gold rim, and with small red and pink flowers, right out of a bag of puffed wheat.

Teachers roll in mud for orphaned elephant fundraiser Grade 4 student’s initiative raises nearly $1,000 Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - A Grade 4 student’s love of elephants has grown into an innovative fundraiser that had three teachers, one principal and a custodian take a roll in mud on June 27. The Great Elephant Mud Roll at Stephen Leacock Public School was dreamed up by Grade 4 student Laila Burns whose trips to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya kindled in her a love for elephants. “They are really cute,” said Laila, “and I really like that they can play soccer and that they have their own personalities.” Elephants continue to be hunted for their tusks, leaving orphaned elephants behind. “I don’t like what is happening and I don’t want elephants to go extinct,” said Laila.
That was when she started her first fundraiser at her school last year, which raised $350 for the wildlife trust to help orphaned elephants. This year, Laila wanted to go with something different and, with the help of staff at the school, created the mud roll event. Students, teachers and parents could donate a dollar to purchase a vote to help decide which of 20 staff volunteers would take the roll. The event caught on, with students and staff competing to have their teacher or staff member be one of the five to get muddy. When the votes were tallied, it was the school’s head custodian, Stephen Van Rumpt, teachers Anne Marie Marcell, Sylvie Denoncourt, Wendy Cole, and the school’s principal, Pauline McKenna who had the honour of doing as the elephants do. The spectacle was a delight
for students on the last day of school, where cheers of “belly flop” and others were heard from the crowd. “I thought that was really funny,” said Laila who was on hand with a hose to make sure the mud was sufficiently mucky. “Everybody was cheering and it was better than I thought it would be.” McKenna said the roll was great fun, though a little chilly to start. “It was soft mud … so it didn’t hurt when I had to do the belly flop,” she said. The event raised $941, said Laila, which is more than a dollar per student. The money, along with $500 raised by Kanata United Church, will be going to the wildlife trust to support their orphan elephants program, which has raised more than 150 orphan elephants and successfully re-integrated them into the wild.

Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward Dear Neighbours, Graduating from High School is a huge milestone in a young person’s life. I was happy to return to my old High School, Woodroffe, where I wished the graduates continued academic success and participated in their commencement ceremony. Community Events: June is always a busy month with festivals and community events, as we kick off summer! This past June was no exception. I had a lot of fun helping out at Tim Horton’s Camp Day; money raised goes towards sending a local Bay Ward child to summer camp giving them an experience they might not otherwise have had. Mothercraft Ottawa held its Annual Touch a Truck Fundraiser at the Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre. This event is growing every year and gives kids both young and old the opportunity to “get up close and touch a truck”.
City of Ottawa Employees were on hand to give folks the opportunity to see City vehicles up close!
Community Cup: The Bay Ward Bobcats showed the true spirit of the Community Cup and represented Bay Ward with pride. This was the first time Bay Ward participated in the Annual Community Cup Event. The team consisted of youth from Accora Village, Michele Heights and Britannia Woods. It was a full day of soccer games and an opportunity for the kids to meet other youth from across the City all in an effort to raise money for the Catholic Immigration Centre. Re-Opening of Michele Park: After months of construction the renewed Michele Park will be re-opening on Friday August 1, 2014. We are looking forward to welcoming residents when we unveil the improvements to the park, which include; a purpose built pathway, lighting and a new sports field. Watch our website for more information. www.BayWardLive.ca Movie in the Park: Mark your calendars; our annual Movie in the Park is scheduled for Sunday August 24th in Frank Ryan Park. I am looking forward to welcoming everyone. It is always lots of fun for the whole family complete with pop corn and drinks! As always, please feel free to contact me at our City Hall or Community office. Visit www.BayWardLive.ca to learn much more about our community and to stay up to date on what’s new. I would like to wish you and your family a wonderful summer and for those who are vacationing away from home, safe travels. To those residents who are observing Ramadan I wish you a Ramadan Mubarak, Kul ‘am wa enta bi-khair!

Rideau Canoe Club to host 2015 national paddling championships Brier Dodge
Sincerely,
PPHHOONN EE
Brier Dodge/Metroland
Junior world medalist Madeline Schmidt, left, speaks as Angus Mortimer, Olympian, looks on. They both spoke at announcement that Ottawa has officially been awarded the 2015 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championship on 23.
Sports - The Rideau Canoe Club will host the 2015 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships at Mooney’s Bay. The Aug. 25 to 29 festival will lead into the Aug. 30 Canadian Master’s Championships, known as the CanMas. The Ottawa location was announced at the Rideau Canoe Club on June 23 by CanoeKayak Canada domestic development director John Edwards, with Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau Canoe Club coaches
and paddlers by his side. The championships are expected to bring in 1,200 paddlers, with an additional 500 adults for the CanMas. Edwards said canoe and kayak are some of Canada’s top Olympic sports, and the Rideau Canoe Club has produced quite a few Olympians over the years. “We’re looking forward to hosting the best and the brightest,” said Watson. “It’s a great opportunity to show off our city.” Paddlers and coaches at the Rideau Canoe Club were excited that they would be the host club for the championships, which the club exclusively hosted for 20 years, from 1947-66. “These championships are known as the best run regatta in the world, the most inclu-
sive regatta in the world, the most competitive regatta in the world,” said coach Ian Mortimer. “But when these championships come home, it’s a little bit special.” Mortimer revisited some of the club’s history, from the first clubhouse at the current Canal Ritz site which literally fell into the canal, to the brand new clubhouse the club built at the current Hog’s Back site. Athletes will have a home water advantage, surrounded by their familiar training site and family and friends. Madeline Schmidt, a junior world medalist, said she won her first national medal in 2008 at home at the Rideau. “It was an unreal moment to be at home on the podium,” she said. “There’s nothing as cool as competing in front of a home crowd.”
Ian’s brother Angus Mortimer, an Olympian, said paddling all over the world has taught him how lucky the Rideau Canoe paddlers are to have such an excellent site such as Mooney’s Bay as a home base. “It’s always a blast to compete at home and have a home water advantage,” he said. At last year’s nationals, Rideau finished second in the overall club title, known as the Burgee. The club, which fields a highly competitive team on the national scene every year, would usually send about 45 paddlers to nationals. With the home advantage, Ian expects about 60 paddlers to compete in the 2015 nationals at home. Ian said the goal is to bring back the Burgee, a flag that the club would proudly fly for the eighth time in club history.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Your impulsive nature is apparent this week, Aries. While this nature has often served you well, it’s still a smart move to carefully consider all angles before making any big decisions.
Take the high road, Libra. Leading by example has always been your forte, and taking the high road now is a great example to set for those around you.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Taurus, the goal this week is to find a happy medium where you can help others but remain true to yourself. It may take a little juggling, but you can handle it.
It can be quite difficult to keep your cool when you are feeling emotional, Scorpio. Channel any nervous energy you have into a productive project this week.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, professional obligations may prevent you from spending time with loved ones, but only if you let them. Let higher-ups know where your priorities lie.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, share your emotions with a friend, especially if the friendship does not seem to be going in the direction you had hoped. Keep the lines of communication open at all times.
Aquarius, you just may find yourself on shaky ground while juggling multiple responsibilities this week. Don’t let the stress of this juggling act get the better of you.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Virgo, you may think your intentions are obvious to others, but sometimes you send mixed signals. You may have to be more concise to achieve your desired results.
