Back to the drawing board for hospital’s Civic campus site Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

The National Capital Commission is going back to the drawing board to reinvestigate preferred sites for a the Civic campus hospital expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008. Throughout the summer and fall, the board will follow a process to find a preferred

site on federal land, before staff and a joint sub-committee come back to the board in November with a recommendation. At least two of those on that list are no longer available, including Bayview Yards, now the Innovation Centre, and Former Nortel campus, which is used by the department of defence. The NCC was directed by Heritage Minister Melanie

Joly to complete a full review of potential sites earlier this year and that it not be limited to the four preferred sites. At a board meeting on June 28, board member Norman Hotson, said the discussion about where the hospital should go should include how the hospital could be a catalyst for city building, not just what land is available.

cess easier for the public to understand. Mayor Jim Watson, who sits as a non-voting member of the board, suggested the NCC also look at getting an objective medical expert to weigh in on what the hospital needs. “I don’t know what the proper acreage of a hospital is,” he said. He added there are a lot of “urban legends” about what actually happens at the experimental farm and those need to be cleared up as the NCC moves through the site selection process. “We need the straight goods about what is exactly going on … People are getting polarized and digging their heels in on this debate,” he said. The process approved by the board first includes working with the hospital to determine its needs

and the requirements for a new hospital. Then it will develop site selection criteria before confirming a list of potential sites and performing a comparison. Out of that, the NCC will rank the sites.

“We are going to be in this for a couple of years,” Willis said, adding the NCC needs to stay on schedule so the project can move forward. The process will also include a consultation component with key stakeholders, including the Local Health Integration Network, city, Ministry of Health and Long-term Care, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Friends of the Farm, Heritage Ottawa and more. Willis said the appropriate community associations will also be asked for input. Then this September, the public will be able to weigh in online to provide input. All of the information about consultations will be presented with the recommendation in November. LOCATIONS

Para Transpo to widen eligibility criteria Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s Para Transpo service will widen its doors to include passengers with nonphysical disabilities. The transit commission approved a number of staff recommendations on June 27 that change the service delivery model. The reaction from public delegations was mixed. Most were happy with the move to be more inclusive and accept passengers with intellectual disabilities, but took issue with contracted medical professionals making the call on their ability to use conventional OC Transpo service. “No one is better able to assess my ability to use regular transit than me and my doctor,” Linda Paul said, adding most doctors are not familiar with her disease or its impact. “How can these doctors be aware of every potential ailment and how it impacts people to use conventional service?” she asked. Both Paul and Catherine Gardner said that Para Transpo service is inconvenient, citing booking issues and long wait times. “I really don’t think there’s people abusing the system,” Paul said. “If people can use conventional service, I think they would.” OC Transpo GM John

Manconi said the decision to use contracted medical professionals, as a tool to review the applications was not about putting customers on the spot. “OC Transpo staff are not healthcare professionals,” Manconi said, adding that contracting out the expertise makes sense. Pat Scrimgeour, assistant general manger of customer systems and planning, said the bulk of applications will be approved based on the paperwork provided by the client, it’s only in the case of a question that an in-person assessment should take place. Applicants should renew their eligibility every three years, the report recommends,

as the transit system changes and can better suit the needs of clients with mobility issues. The use of contracted medical professionals should be a “minor expense” Scrimgeour said, and should be covered under the existing budget. The report estimates there will be 5,000 customer contacts per year, which Scrimgeour said will probably represent a cost of $250,000. Para Transpo’s annual budget is $33 million LATE CANCELLATIONS

Another set of changes will be around the process for late cancellations and no shows. Scrimgeour

said that annually there are 25,000 late cancellations and 100,000 no shows. There are 13,000 customers and 800,000 trips annually. Under the new system, those customers would be contacted and there would be a demerit system. “The last we wanted to do was to bring recommendations that would put pressure on the budget,” Manconi said, adding the plan is a good balance. “We need to take care of each other as a community and make sure all the options are used.” City council will have to approve the recommendations before they are implemented.

BRYNNA LESLIE ity – to fish or not to fish? But I started to dislike camping by the end of last year. Personally, I’d always been drawn to the activity due to its simplicity. Sure you had to cook and do dishes, but there was no tidying, no cleaning of toilets, and few things to distract one from enjoying whatever nature had to offer. As our gear list grew, however, it seemed like the campsite was always a mess. I spent half my time shuffling things about, hang-

ing things on the clothes line, trying to match up one of the 20 pairs of shoes. Camping had become such a disappointment to me that I hadn’t pre-booked any trips for the family this year by mid-June, much to the children’s disappointment. With the impending heat wave, however, I finally broke down and booked two nights in Gatineau Park, just to test it out. See CAMPING, page 7

Camping provided ticket to a fairy world Continued from page 6

We decided to pack very simply — one tent, one change of clothes, a single pair of shoes. It was easier than it could’ve been because the weekend was forecast to be dry and hot, so extra blankets, rain gear and tarps could be left at home. On our arrival, getting equipment out was faster and simpler than it had been in years, which gave us more time to explore. A campfire ban meant there would be no cooking on a fire, but also

no sitting around. Instead, evening and morning walks led to the discovery of deer and waylaid raccoons, and a grassy plain of hundreds of fireflies. It was a fairy world. TIME STOOD STILL

We went to bed as soon as the sun went down and got up with the squawking of the crow. Time stood still as we played in the lake and on the beach, read books and talked to each other. Having less made us appreciate the things we did have and it made us happier.

The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city: the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which puts the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011) as a Schedule B project. The final deliverable for the EA portion of the project is an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This document has been completed and by this notice is being placed in the public record for review over a 30-day period. The Lemieux Island WPP Intake Improvements report is available for review at the following location:

Adults!

Returning home on Sunday afternoon, I was struck by how much stuff there always is in the house. I’ve had a long time goal to get rid of half of everything we own. I’m constantly purging items and donating to charities, but despite my best efforts, we seem to acquire as fast as we shed. Still, at least the joy of the family camping trip has been revived. We’re attempting another weekend at Mont Tremblant National Park. It looks like rain gear may be required, but we’re leaving the beach toys at home.

Drivers keep feeling the squeeze

re drivers the new smokers over at city hall? For years now the City of Ottawa, like cities across North America, has brought in all types of rules and regulations that, in essence, say to smokers you are not welcome here. And it is now starting to feel as though drivers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those nasty people who reject being socially engineered into taking a bicycle everywhere they go and have no interest in jumping on public transit no matter how many bells and whistles the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future light rail system will have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are becoming the new smokers in this city. A new city bylaw is expected to reduce the number of parking spots required for future developments in the inner urban core. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee approved changes to the minimum-parking bylaw on June 28. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time the city has altered the bylaw since the 1960s. Under the new rules, which go to council July 13, developments within a 400- to 800-metre walk from light rail stations would not have

to provide parking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except apartment buildings that have more than 12 units. The availability of parking downtown will thus get even scarcer in the future. But apparently, over at city hall, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter since in the utopian view of some, we will all be happily going about our business on light rail or cycling our way through the urban jungle. This goes along with the new sensors that the police department have to nab those horrible drivers who have the misfortune of driving within a metre of a cyclist on city streets. Never mind that some streets in the core are so narrow that to keep a metre buffer zone from a cyclist means to not drive at all on those streets. Yes, the war on the car as a means of transportation in Ottawa continues to roll on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest, with the way things are going, that the city just ban cars completely from the roads of Ottawa except for the suburbs.

Funny Town Queensway again. Whoopee. There is a plan for adding more lanes, going from three to four in a western stretch where it had previously narrowed from four to three, causing what the provincial government perceives as anguish to drivers. Hating driver anguish, the government has decided to spend millions to widen the highway, a project that will last years and create havoc while it happens. People may flee to downtown to escape it. The number of millions has not been announced, but a widening

project in the east, begun in 2013 and completed only recently, cost $226 million. So this one could cost at least that. As you would expect, a considerable debate has arisen over this plan. It seems, critics say, to go completely against the prevailing mood about roads and transit. For some years the conventional wisdom has been that public transit should take priority over road construction, that new roads only attract more drivers, thus causing increases in pollution, global warming etc. There has even been wide acceptance of a theory that adding lanes creates more problems than it solves, that the temporary ease of driving brings more drivers onto the roads, eventually causing the new lanes to be as clogged as the old ones.

If that happens, there goes $226 million down the drain. The Ontario minister of energy, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Bob Chiarelli, disputes that theory. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Ś We need to move beyond the over-simplified theory that every highway widening is a senseless idea,â&#x20AC;? he wrote in an opinion piece in an Ottawa daily newspaper. As the region has expanded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so has the need for increased economic infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? he added. Sure. But the widening project does seem to indicate a lack of confidence in the effectiveness of light rail in easing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic problems. And then there is the question of what happens while the construction is on. It was chaos in the east. An on-ramp will be eliminated and the effects of that on local traffic worry residents. So is it really worth it? All that money, all those construction headaches. It is a clichĂŠ to say that fresh thinking is called for, but it EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: /FWJM )VOU OFWJM IVOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: .FMMJTTB .VSSBZ NNVSSBZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN

is. A really inexpensive alternative would putting up some signs five kilometres in advance of the current narrowing, warning of a lane ending. That could be coupled with a course teaching drivers how to deal with lane changes and an advertising campaign urging people to take public transit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps even with lower fares. That would cost a lot less than $200 million.

Ottawa pentathlete Melanie McCann had some ups and downs on the way to earning her second Olympic berth, but in August she’ll join Team Canada in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games. McCann will fly to Rio on Aug. 3 to walk in the Parade of Nations during the Games’ opening ceremony. She will compete in the pentathlon’s five competitions – fencing, swimming, horseback riding and a combined running and shooting event – over the course of a single day, on Aug. 18. For McCann – who lives in west Ottawa but grew up in Mount Carmel, Ont. – competing at an Olympic venue surrounded by the world’s top athletes will be familiar territory. McCann placed 11th in the modern pentathlon during the 2012 Olympic Games, securing the highest ranking of any Canadian in an Olympic modern pentathlon event. This time around, she’s hoping to draw on her prior experience to snag a medal.

McCann to compete in modern pentathlon for second time at the Games Continued from page 9

McCann has spent the past nine years mastering fencing, show jumping, swimming, target shooting and running, and has two Pan American Games under her belt.

This time last year, McCann was preparing to compete in the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, where she hoped to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Despite placing fifth in the women’s pentathlon – which awarded Olympic spots to the

top five finishers – McCann was passed up when fellow Canadian pentathlete Donna Vakalis placed fourth, since only one athlete from each nation could qualify at that time. It was a setback that meant McCann would need to spend

the first months of 2016 flying around the globe, chasing world rankings from February to May. Although it was not the most direct, or even expected, route to getting her Olympic berth, McCann said she easily earned the scores she needed to qualify. “It’s definitely been a huge challenge and it was a steep mountain to climb,” she said. “I had some really good results and I put enough points together to secure my spot at the Olympics.” All that’s left for McCann to do before she departs for Rio is to attend one last training camp and stick to her usual full-time training and recovery schedule. “A lot of the training I’ll be doing is just honing in on my technical and my speed skills here in Ottawa,” she said, explaining that she trains in three to four disciplines each day, separating morning and evening training sessions with a mid-day break. “It’s all day, and, between the training and the recovery, there’s not much time for anything else.” McCann pointed out that even her coaches are pulling double duty. Head coach John Hawes, riding coach Rick Maynard and fencing coach Paul ApSimon are set to coach the national modern pentathlon team – consisting of McCann and fellow London 2012 Olympian Vakalis – once in Rio, running coach Mike Woods is vying for a spot on the Olympic cycling team, and her physiotherapist Jaime Trick has been added to Team Canada’s medical staff. For Trick, who lives in Ottawa east but works in Kanata, Rio will mark her first time looking after Team Canada’s athletes at the Games. While some athletes have cho-

sen to avoid this year’s Games due to the threat of the Zika virus – which is spread through mosquito bites – McCann, who has competed in Brazil several times throughout her career, said she feels confident that Team Canada’s medical staff will take the steps necessary to protect Canadian athletes at the Games. “With the Olympic team, we’ve been well equipped with the best medical staff in Canada,” she said. “So they’ve put in place procedures and measures to protect us and to make sure we’re ready to

compete. With that staff behind me, I have no concerns whatsoever, so I’m totally comfortable going to Brazil.” And with a support system consisting of four coaches, a physiotherapist and dozens of friends and family members who call themselves Team McCannCAN – an amalgamation of her surname and Canada – McCann said she feels comfortable tackling her two main goals for her second turn at the Games: improving on her previous best Canadian performance of 11th place, and bringing home a medal. “In pentathlon anything can happen, it can be anyone’s day, and really a medal is very possible and, of course, I’m always shooting for the podium,” she said. “So those are my two performance goals.”

Second allegation about police chief’s conduct to be investigated Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

The city’s police services board is passing on a second complaint about its chief of police to a watchdog to investigate. Following a closeddoor meeting on June 27, chair of the police services board Eli El-Chantiry announced the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, a civilian oversight agency, will review whether Chief Charles Bordeleau presented misleading information to the board about a courthouse security contract. That presentation was made on July 15, 2015. El-Chantiry was quick to say the board was not passing judgement on the allegation. “The board is not deciding whether the allegations are true or if there is any merit to the complaint,” El-Chantiry said. “Under the Police Services Act the board is re-

quired to review every complaint about the chief of police that is referred by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director.” The job of the police board is only to determine whether the conduct in the complaint falls within the act’s complaint process, El-Chantiry said. He also said the board was asked to recuse itself from its initial review. However, according to the act, El-Chantiry said, there’s nothing that allows the board to ask someone else to do the review. He added no further comment would be made. Following the meeting, El-Chantiry said it would be inappropriate to comment on how long the investigation could take and emphasized the board was acknowledging the existence of the complaint and handing it over to the appropriate body. The police chief is also

being investigated for his conduct surrounding an inquiry he made into who was prosecuting his fatherin-law for a driving infraction. In March, Bordeleau welcomed a review of his actions. “There is a procedure for reviewing the actions of any police officer. I welcome that,” he said at the time. El-Chantiry had said back in March that the board was briefed on the hiring of private security at the courthouse before a vote. “We were not in any way misled,” he said in March. The complaint was not initially investigated after the OIPRD ruled that Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof was not eligible to make the complaint. They said the complaint had to be filed by a resident, not another officer. — with files from Jennifer McIntosh

R0013661694-0128

More than 20 unique outdoor events are coming to rural Ottawa next year. The Ottawa 2017 Bureau has partnered with Just Food to launch Agri 150 – a new program aimed at boosting rural tourism during Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations next year – on June 21 at Just

Food Farm. “This will compliment the urban experience,” said Mayor Jim Watson. The events will span the entire 2017-year, from January to December and include wine, eco-friendly and fair options. Managed by Just Food, a non-profit organization focused on promoting access to healthy food as well as increasing the

amount locally grown food in Ottawa, the 2017 programming is aimed to get urban Ottawa resident as well as tourists to step out of the urban boundary and into the vast rural landscape the city has to offer. Executive director of Just Food, Moe Garahan said this rural experience will highlight the growing local food industry in Ottawa. “We have a dynamic and active local food industry in Ottawa and we’re pleased to help steward this program to promote and support local food and food-related initiatives,” Garahan said. The Agri 150 program will take place in West Carleton-March, Stittsville, Cumberland, Osgoode and Rideau Goulbourn. See LATEST, page 13

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

International-level show jumping will return to Ottawa in July after a five-year absence with two weeks of tournaments hosted and organized by Wesley Clover Parks. Park management ushered in a new chapter of Ottawabased national show jumping in 2015, hosting its first show jumping event since the park’s purchase by the Wesley Clover Foundation 2014. That event, called the Ottawa International Horse Show although it was a national competition, was the first major tournament to he held at the park, formerly known as the Nepean National Equestrian Centre, since 2011. This year, the park’s major show jumping event will include two weeks of programming, with the Ottawa National Horse Show planned for the week of July 13-17

and the Ottawa International Horse Show taking place from July 20-24. Unlike last year’s competition, which featured riders from abroad but was only sanctioned nationally, this year’s international competition is sanctioned by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports and will allow riders to earn world ranking points. “We dipped our toe in last year with a really, really nice national horse show in June,” said Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks. “And now we have better placement in July for the horse show circuit for two weeks, featuring international show jumping.” The two weeks of worldclass show jumping are expected to draw 600 horses and more than 15,000 spectators. Competitors will ride over jumps on grass courses set by 2015 Pan American Games

course designer Michel Vaillancourt, from Canada, and 2016 Olympic course designer Guilherme Jorge, from Brazil, in his final project before the Rio Games. For spectators, Sparks said the event – which is free to attend, with parking available by-donation – will offer an opportunity to experience a unique sport that has riders and horses navigating timed courses at high speeds, jumping over fences as tall as 1.5 metres. “There’s a lot of high profile international riders coming,” she said. Some of those riders will include Olympic silver medalist and two-time Show Jumping World Cup winner Ian Millar, and daughter and son, Amy and Jonathon, and Olympic silver medalist Jill Henselwood.

Keep your distance, bicycle patrol police warn drivers Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Just because a car can pass a cyclist, doesn’t mean it’s legal – or safe. Police launched an education campaign on June 21 by demonstrating a new device that identifies drivers who don’t leave the mandatory onemetre buffer space when passing bicycles. Drivers must give bikes at least a metre space when passing under the Highway Traffic Act, but it can be hard to measure while it’s actually happening. The new law passed on Sept. 1, 2015. Bike patrol officers from central division showed off a device that connects to handlebars and uses sonar to detect when a car is too close. The device alerts the bike patrol officer when a car comes “90 centimetres or closer.” The sonar device costs about $1,000. If the city’s police were

to buy more, they would likely receive a cheaper bulk rate. On June 21, a patrol officer biked down Somerset Street past Bank Street and radioed co-workers down the road when a car passed him too closely. Police are warning people to make them aware of the rule, especially in high traffic areas, before ticketing starts. Legally, police are allowed to give a $180 ticket with two demerit points. “We want to make sure that everyone knows that it’s something that we’re going to be ticketing for in the future, but this is all education,” said Const. Craig Barlow. “There’s definitely a grace period.” Barlow said it’s a similar approach police took when new rules regarding cellphone use while driving were introduced in Ontario. There were several cars pulled over who drove too closely to the uniformed police officer on bike. Generally,

patrol officers on bicycles wear uniforms and are easily identifiable as police. “Regardless we still have people who pass too close to us,” Barlow said. The cars pulled over at Somerset Street between Kent and Lyon streets on June 21 didn’t receive tickets, but got a friendly warning from police officers as well as a handout with more information about the changes to the Highway Traffic Act. Safer Roads Ottawa’s Kale Brown said bike shops in the area have been canvassed as well to educate cyclists about the new rulesl. Brown said most of the education has been centred around telling cyclists that if they are not impeding traffic, they can legally take the lane and don’t have to ride along the curb. He said it’s especially important in areas where cars can park on the side of the road and cyclists are at risk of being hit by a door.

Parent group therapy a priority for mental health centre Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

A $545,000 Trillium grant will allow the Roberts/Smart Centre to expand its parent group therapy program to 180 new families. The announcement was made at the Carling Avenue children’s mental health centre on June 29. “This is, for me, such a huge thrill,” said Katherine Neff, executive director of the Roberts/Smart Centre. “This will allow us to serve a whole additional group that’s not been served before.” Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said the money will help support the centre, so it can better help young people. “I’m confident this funding will go a long way to provide a solution and a better quality of life for our young people and their families every single day,” he said. “And making sure these young people get the best opportunity to succeed in life.” The funding will allow the

centre to offer its programs to families across eastern Ontario who aren’t already clients of the centre, allowing the centre to “kick it up a notch,” said Ruth MacKenzie, part of the grant review committee for the Ontario Trillium Foundation. “For us that’s what’s exciting; it’s a brand new service,” Neff said following the announcement. The Collaborative Problem Solving parent group workshops help parents manage their child’s difficult behaviour, providing what Neff said is a lifelong tool. “If you have a child or an adolescent whose behaviour is off-the-wall out of control, and you’ve tried everything … in trouble at school, potentially being brought home by police, those are the parents that can give us a call because what we are going to teach parents to do is to tackle managing that differently.” The grant will allow a fulltime staff member to administer the eight-week work-

shops and provide additional help to parents involved. The first session will begin later this month, Neff said. The staff at Roberts/Smart Centre use the collaborative approach with the children and adolescents in their secure unit, as well as open units, and have been using the method for almost 10 years. Although the centre is still working on collecting data on the CPS model, Neff said she’s seen the positive outcomes first-hand. “We find kids that are very aggressive and very assaultive; they slow themselves right down,” Neff said. “They are calmer, they are more able to problem solve, they can talk about what they need to do in these kinds of situations – all things they couldn’t do when they got here.” The approach moves away from a punishment model, like cutting curfews, allowances and other privileges. “Kids will do well if they can, so we’re not into

The announcement of the grant was made at the centre, located on Carling Avenue, on June 29. consequences … we are really into figuring out why you are doing this and then teaching you to do it

differently,” Neff said. Parents interested in the new service can contact Roberts/Smart for an

True patriot love Left: Captain Canada, a South Keys resident who declined to provide his real name, has been showcasing his Canadiana spirit during downtown Ottawa Canada Day festivities every July 1 over the past 25 years. He can barely make his way through the crowd before being asked to have his photograph taken with the revellers, such as Centretown’s Laura Beks. The pair stopped on Wellington Street, which was teeming with thousands of people. Centre: McMaster University students Janine Moloney, left, Grace Cooper, Emma Mangialardi, Kieran Liew and Maureen Mai show off their red and white colours while celebrating Canada Day in the shadow of Parliament Hill in downtown Ottawa on July 1. Bottom: Cousins and siblings Drew Valiquette, 9, left, Mariska Paixao, 6, Ruby Valiquette, 9, Navia Paixao, Maria Valiquette, 10, Mallory Valiquette, 6, and Gabriella Paixao, 4 (in back) celebrate Canada Day at Parliament Hill. The family members are all from the east coast, and joined tens of thousands of people – many of them also from out of town – for the party.

Turmoil at special visitor’s arrival

he house was in a turmoil again. The whole place was upside down. Mother was in a bad humour, ordering us around, Emerson said like a drill sergeant! Even Father, who hardly ever got flustered, was all keyed up. All because Father’s sister, Aunt Lizzie of the hand-medown boxes from Regina, was coming for her annual visit. She always came in the hottest month of the year, to make sure the old homestead was still standing. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. Mother was out to prove her wrong! Of course, Audrey and I had to give up our bed and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. That meant the bedroom, which was really the large upstairs hall, had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life. Audrey had to stand on a chair, and using the broom, sweep the ceiling, which was only whitewashed over tar paper. This was to make sure no flakes would fall on Aunt Lizzie’s face when she was in bed, as they often did for Audrey and me. The feather mattresses, tickings and pillows had

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories bread, freshly made pickles, raspberry preserves, and a basket full of newly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. Aunt Lizzie rarely gave us notice of when she was coming, and more than once, we would get a call from the station in Renfrew that she had arrived. At least this time, a letter had arrived a week before telling us when she would be coming. Of course, we five children would love to go into Renfrew to meet the train, but that would mean taking the flat bottomed wagon with the one seat, pulled by the team of horses. Aunt Lizzie

been thrown over the back fence and pounded with the broom within an inch of their lives. Audrey said we wouldn’t be going to that much trouble if the Queen of England was coming! CLEAN AS A WHISTLE

The kitchen, which was always spotless to begin with, was as clean as a whistle, and Mother, just to prove she knew a little more about being a farm wife than she was given credit for, had the bake table loaded down with sticky buns, homemade

wouldn’t like being paraded through her hometown on a flat bottomed wagon, hauled by a team of work horses. So Father and Mother would take the two-seater buggy. We kids would stay at home. We were in our nextto-Sunday best clothes too. The five of us had our noses pressed to the kitchen window when we saw the buggy coming down the lane, and there sat Aunt Lizzie, white dress, huge red leghorn hat and gloves to her elbow. When she pressed me to her chest, I could smell Lily of the Valley perfume. Her suitcases were brought in and taken right upstairs, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the big leather satchel she carried, because inside I knew would be gifts for all of us. My present was the last to come out of the bag. I had never seen anything like it. See GIFTS, page 26

Dear neighbours, With classes now over I would like to congratulate all of the students who celebrated their graduations this June.

Grill on: classic bacon cheddar burger Celebrate Canadian summer with these juicy burgers topped with Cheddar cheese, smoky bacon and fresh vegetables. You can make these all beef or all veal, the choice is yours. Preparation time: 15 minutes Grilling time: about 13 minutes Serves: 4 INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg • 2 tbsp (25 mL) water • 2 small cloves garlic, pressed • 1/4 cup (50 mL) dry breadcrumbs • 1 tsp (5 mL) each dry mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper • 8 oz (250 g) each lean ground beef and veal • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded aged cheddar cheese • 4 whole wheat burger buns • 1/4 cup (50 mL) light mayonnaise • 4 lettuce Leaves • 1 large Ontario Tomato, sliced

• Sliced red onion • 4 slices cooked bacon, cut in half In large bowl, with fork, beat egg and water; stir in half of the pressed garlic, breadcrumbs, mustard, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Gently mix in beef, veal and 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the cheese. Divide meat mixture into four equal-sized balls and shape into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick burgers. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat. Grill covered, turning burgers once, until thermometer reads 160°F (71°C) inserted sideways into centre of each burger, about 12 minutes.

Gifts from Regina Continued from page 26

It was a book, about the size of a scrap book, and the cover was made of push-out paper dolls, and inside were the clothes they could wear, all made of paper, and she had even brought me a little pair of snub nosed scissors. I got right to it at the kitchen table. Each dress, when cut out, had little tabs beyond the body, and they, when folded over, were what held the paper clothes on the little cardboard dolls. I was sure even bad Marguirite had never laid eyes on anything so exciting! I didn’t care about all the work we had to go to, to get ready for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. I didn’t care that she wasn’t our favourite visitor to come to the farm at Northcote. I was too young to think beyond the wonderful gifts she would bring all the way from Regina. Imagine! Little paper dolls and a wardrobe of paper clothes to keep me entertained for hours ahead! That Aunt Lizzie sure knew how to bring joy to a young girl’s heart!

Free legal advice available for survivors of sexual assault Staff

A new pilot project launched by the provincial government will give sexual assault survivors access to free legal advice. The pilot, launched on June 28, will give survivors of sexual assault living in Ottawa, Toronto, and Thunder Bay up to four hours of free, confidential advice from a lawyer, ac-

cording to a press release. The service is offered no matter how much time has passed since the incident and advice can be provided in person or over the phone. “Sexual assault survivors need to know they have choices and they have power,” Ottawa Centre MPP and Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said in a statement.

“Providing them with information on support services that are available is only one piece. Offering them free legal advice is key to helping them make decisions about what is best for them as they move forward.” One in three women and one in six men experience a form of sexual assault in their lives. The project is part of the

province’s It’s Never Okay – Ontario’s Action Plan to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment. The goal of that plan is to change attitudes, improve supports and make workplaces and campuses safer and more responsive to complaints about sexual violence and harassment. “We know that navigating the justice system can be difficult for survivors

of sexual assault. Providing free legal advice helps them know their rights and provides critical support in their pursuit of justice,” said Tracy MacCharles, the minister responsible for women’s issues. The pilot project will run until March 2018, when it will be evaluated. The service is available for men and women 16 years old and up. Survivors

can choose from a list of lawyers who will provide advice, including a referral to a lawyer that can represent them, but will not provide legal representation. Survivors can access the program by submitting a voucher request form, available at Ontario.ca/legaladvice. For more information about the program, call 1-855-226-3904.

Pet Adoptions

stressed from the noise caused by fireworks. Keep your pets in a quiet room, with food and water, during and after the fireworks to keep them calm. 4. If your pet spends lots of time outside, make sure there is shelter from the sun and heat. Keep clean, fresh water accessible at all times. 5. Monitor your pet’s outdoor activities. Watch for signs of heat stress, like excessive panting, disorientation, an anxious expression and weakness. Call your vet right away if your pet has signs of heat stress.

Keep Pets Safe This Summer with Tips from the OHS

While a house full of guests capping off a party with backyard fireworks may sound like a fun was to spend a summer night, to your pets that same experience can be a harrowing misadventure fraught with danger at every turn. But all it takes is some advanced planning with pets in mind to ensure Fluffy and Fido enjoy the warm weather as much as their human companions. Here are eight tips to keep your pets safe during vacation season: 1. Ensure your pet has proper ID. If a barbecue guest accidentally lets your pet out, how can you give her the best possible chance of finding her way home? Be sure to microchip your pet and to use a collar and tag. 2. Never leave your pet alone in a hot car. Animals can suffer serious injury and even death. Please call the OHS emergency line at 613-725-1532 if you see an animal alone in a car on a hot day. 3. Pets are terrified of fireworks. If there are going to be fireworks, leave your pet at home. Pets at home can also be

6. When the heat and humidity rise, be especially careful with short-nosed dogs (pugs, bull-dogs, etc.) and older animals. Exercise your pets in the early morning and/or late evening to avoid the midday heat. When you take your dog out for exercise, bring a portable water container. 7. Asphalt can burn your dog’s paws — keep to the sidewalk or grass on walks. 8. Talk to your vet about flea and tick prevention. Pet of the Week: Stormy (ID# A165629) Meet Stormy, a social, chatty kitty looking for her purr-fect match. Stormy is a sweet grey and white tabby who loves spending time with her human companions.

NELLY

Hi! My name is Nelly. I am almost two years old and I love nothing more than lounging in the sun. My favourite time of the day is when I get to go for walkies with my sister Ruca who is also a pug and my brother Luke the golden retriever. Sometimes when I snore at night I wake the whole house up and get kicked off the bed, but I always sneak back on after my parents fall asleep.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take a more serious approach if you want others to give your ideas more thoughtful consideration. Devote more time and attention to work and other necessities. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, put your thoughts on paper so you can work out all of your ideas. You have some great ideas, and writing them down can help you articulate them more effectively.
