Man dies following confrontation with police Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

A family friend of the man who died following a confrontation with police in Hintonburg is calling his death horrific. Nimao Ali described what happened to Abdirahman Abdi as she pointed to the bloodstains that remained on her doorstep. “It was right there that

he died and our children and his family and this community were witnesses, so that is horrific,” said Ali, who has lived next door to Abdi’s sister for the last two decades. “It’s like watching a horror movie, but this time it’s real.” But Ali said the community is remembering the 37-year-old man as always having a smile on his face.

She said Abdi, a Somali-Canadian who also had a mental illness, was the type of person to hold the elevator door and was gentle with kids and neighbours. “He was a beautiful soul and we are very sad to see him go, and how his life ended, and he is in our prayers,” Ali said. Abdi died the day after a confrontation with police outside his 55 Hilda St. apartment. The Special Investigations Unit – the civilian police watchdog – is currently investigating what happened after Ottawa police responded to a disturbance call on July 24 at 9:30 a.m. at a coffee shop near Wellington Street West and Fairmont Avenue.

The athletes started with a run due to issues with the water that lead to the swim portion cancellation, followed with a 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run. The bike ride took them down Queen Elizabeth Drive and over Pretoria bridge, where spectators could get a good look at the nation’s top triathletes.

-hole and other insults by two students, who also put him in a chokehold on more than one occasion. Karam and his mother, Vania, took the board to small claims court, and a judge found the school board negligent and that it breached the duty of care owed to a student. It’s the first reported case in North America where a school board has been found negligent in a bullying case. “Across the district, our schools are engaged in a number of initiatives to prevent bullying and discrimination,” the board statement reads. “We believe this work is making a difference.” The statement says the court decision shows the need for continued growth in the area of bullying and discrimination.

“As a learning organization, we will be reviewing this decision in detail to help identify opportunities to improve our practice and provide further professional development. “Unfortunately, we cannot undo this experience, but we can learn from it to better support all students and families.” The Ottawa public school board’s insurance provider, Ontario School Boards’ Insurance Exchange, represented the board at small claims court. The statement says the board has followed up with the provider to make sure the Karam family is paid “the pecuniary expenses as provided in the court decision.” The Karams were awarded $3,000 by the court.

Two alarm fire on Trenton Avenue Firefighters responded to a late Friday night fire at 115 Trenton Ave. between Fisher Avenue and Merivale Road. Firefighters received a call reporting the house on fire at 10:53 p.m. on July 22. The caller said there was black smoke pouring out of the house. It was declared a two alarm fire when firefighters arrived at the house, which was empty with the owners out. There were no injuries, and damage was estimated at $350,000 to the house, and $50,000 to the contents. Police remained on scene the next day, and the fire is currently under investigation.

SIU takes over investigation Continued from page 1

According to police Chief Charles Bordeleau, police received multiple calls for “assaultive” behaviour. He said when police arrived at the Hintonburg coffee shop, the behaviour continued and officers tried to arrest Abdi. At that point, he ran away and officers pursued him. Bordeleau added paramedics were called 23 seconds after “medical distress was obvious.” An autopsy was scheduled for July 26, according to the SIU, which has designated seven officers to the investigation. Ali said, “We are just going to take one day at a time. We cannot make funeral plans or decide what the next step will be until we find decisions from the hospital on how to move

forward, but the family wants to grieve privately and they are asking for everyone’s prayers, help and support.” A gofundme page has been set up for the family, raising more than $5,000 in 12 hours, towards a $10,000 goal, to help with funeral costs. A vigil was also scheduled for July 26 in Somerset Square Park. According to a Facebook post, Sebastian Mendoza, along with No Justice. No Peace. – a local group fighting for equity for all, which focuses on black lives – is organizing a Charity Peace Concert within the black community. All proceeds will be donated to the Somali Centre for Family Services and Abdi’s family. Several local councillors, politicians and organizations have expressed their condolences to Abdi’s family over

The National Council of Canadian Muslims, a civil liberties and advocacy organization, is calling for a thorough investigation. “This is a heartbreaking loss and our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Abdi’s family at this difficult time,” said NCCM executive director Ihsaan Gardee in the release. “Many members of the Ottawa Muslim and Somali communities have serious concerns about how this tragic incident unfolded, including whether prejudice had something to do with Mr. Abdi’s treatment. “It is critical that a full and transparent investigation be

swiftly conducted so that Mr. Abdi’s family, and the wider community, get clear answers.” Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who spent time with Abdi’s family at the Ottawa Hospital before he died said in a release, “I cannot express fully my grief.” Leiper said in a previous blog post, the event left him shaken and has raised many questions.

Jeremy Mack, 36, was killed in the city’s 10th homicide of the year on July 23. Police attended a Winthrop Private address at 4:48 p.m. on Saturday afternoon after receiving a call about a man who sustained serious injuries. He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries from being stabbed, and later died in hospital. A man was arrested on scene at the townhomes, just off Richmond Road. The next day, police remained on scene and police tape surrounded the row houses in the 1 to 100 block of the street. Police were seen speaking with several neighbours as they entered and exited their units. According to Mack’s Facebook page, his partner, who he had a daughter with, died in January of this year. “My heart aches now,” said a Facebook post about Mack. “No one deserves to (lose) both parent(s) in such a short period of time.” Anyone with information is asked to call the police’s major crimes section at 613-236-1222 ext. 5493.

A 64-page report on the public consultation meetings held about the Rosemount library has been released. It highlights the need for more space and points out several opinions for how to get it. MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

Councillor and library board talk Rosemount Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

A 64-page report on the findings from recent public input meetings about the Rosemount library branch says the community wants more space. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said the report, which he commissioned with the Rosemount Expansion and Development group, held no surprises and he’ll be able to use the document as he has behind the scenes conversations with the library board about next steps. “I think what the consultation has done a great job of is eliciting that view that it does need more space,” he said of the Hintonburg branch of the Ottawa Public Library. But it also showed divisions in the community when it came to deciding whether any gained space should be used for books, programming, quiet areas or something else. There wasn’t consensus, Leiper said. Where that space should come from also isn’t clear. “I think some of the hard

choices that I, the city and the community will have to make, moving forward, is that space best gotten through a renovation of the existing facility? Or is it best done by moving the facility to a footprint where we can get that new space?” Leiper said. Residents floated ideas for the expansion during consultations that included small additions, adding a mezzanine to the existing building and looking for a brand new location. There is $1 million earmarked for the Rosemount branch in the 2017 budget for a renovation, but Leiper said residents are willing to wait for the right expansion opportunity. Leiper said the library board is listening. “(The library board is) open minded to the notion of shifting gears towards an expansion rather than a renovation with the understanding that the community is willing to wait for the right expansion opportunity,” he said. Some answers will come during this year’s budget. If the board goes for a ren-

ovation, that money will be in the 2017 budget, and if it’s an expansion, the money will be reallocated in a future budget. Another element of the report Leiper highlighted was the desire to make sure the current Rosemount library building – a Carnegie library built with money from Scottish-born philanthropist Andrew Carnegie – is not just abandoned. While a lot is still up in the air, residents expressed the need to keep the institution in the neighbourhood. “We want more space. There is at least some reasonably significant appetite to move the facility, if that’s what it takes.” Leiper said the report has provided him with the confidence that he’s moving in the direction the community wants when he’s talking to the library board about getting more space. “It’s always nice to have something that says this is not a guess – that it’s based on meaningful consultation – and now that we have that clear community desire for more space versus say a renovation, the discussions with the library become more productive.” To read the full report, go to https://kitchissippiward. ca/sites/default/files/RosemountJulyFinal.pdf.

OPINION

Sports will win over the world

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always easier to by cynical than to expect the best of a challenging situation. And the upcoming Olympics in Brazil is certainly a challenging event. The threat of the Zika virus is prompting some athletes to drop out. There are questions about security. And the thought of Russian secret service agents creeping around in the dark, replacing little bottles of tainted urine with little bottles of clean urine is laughable. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to boost the image of international sports or celebrate the spirit of honest competition. Despite all the bad news, the stories of the individuals who work hard for a chance to take on the world is what really matters. Athletes from here in Ottawa and across the country are getting ready to head south to Rio. And when the moment comes, when the competition begins, they will inspire us. The look of enthusiasm and pure joy on the face of Rosie MacLennan, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag bearer at

the Olympics, momentarily outshines any negative aspects of the international competition that now features all the angst revolving around banning Russian athletes for illegal drug use. MacLennanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts and emotions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with the determination and commitment of her fellow Olympians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will cross the finish line way ahead of the intrigue and frustration caused by a scandal that athletes have been complaining about for years. Honest athletes can look forward to finally being vindicated and compete in the Olympics they way want to. After all of the noise created by so many concerns has died down, athletes will once more find themselves alone with their thoughts, tensing muscles and saying silent prayers as they spend those last few seconds waiting for their turn to test their training and motivation. Any negativity encountered in Rio is just one more hurdle to sail over. Canadian athletes of every stripe will still compete with pride and passion when their moment comes.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stop telling kids the Internet is scary

hen it comes to managing our kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; online lives, parents, teachers and other well-meaning adults may be taking the wrong approach. Since 2001, media literacy and education group MediaSmarts has been surveying parents and kids about attitudes toward online behaviour. Over time, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a disturbing shift in views from both cohorts. The Internet, once seen as a positive educational tool, is now more often presented as a dangerous and scary place for kids to hang out. But by fear-mongering, we may be inadvertently disempowering our kids both online and offline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What research suggests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including wide-ranging research in the U.K. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that kids who are not given opportunities to take risks online donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop the safety skills they need and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Girls are disproportionately more likely than boys to feel that the online world is dangerous for them, which is having the simultaneous effect of excluding girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from the tech world and the larger digital economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of online spaces that can be unfriendly to girls,â&#x20AC;? says Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we also know these spaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the gaming world for example â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can be important gateways to (the acquisition of) technology DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 3JDIBSE #VSOT ADMINISTRATION: %POOB 5IFSJFO HOME BUILDERS ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST (FPGG )BNJMUPO DISPLAY ADVERTISING: (JTFMF (PEJO ,BOBUB 3BOEZ 0MNTUFBE 0UUBXB 8FTU $JOEZ (JMCFSU 0UUBXB 4PVUI $BSMZ .D(IJF 0UUBXB &BTU +JMM .BSUJO /FQFBO $BUIFSJOF -PXUIJBO #BSSIBWFO #FMMT $PSOFST .JLF 4UPPEMFZ 4UJUUTWJMMF "OOJF %BWJT 0UUBXB 8FTU 3JDP $PSTJ "VUPNPUJWF $POTVMUBOU #MBJS ,JSLQBUSJDL 0SMFBOT CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: 4IBSPO 3VTTFMM

skills. When we give girls the idea that the online world is unsafe, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not even going to try to get into these spaces.â&#x20AC;? There are a number of ways parents can better empower their kids and make them safer online. For young children, says Johnson, it is a good idea to curate what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing online, ideally sitting down with them to explore and use the Internet. As they age, set clear rules about acceptable and unacceptable online behaviour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our research found that in homes where rules about expected online behaviour had been established â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sharing of personal contact information, insulting someone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kids were less likely to engage in negative behaviours online.â&#x20AC;? Johnson says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to let kids know that they â&#x20AC;&#x153;have the right to be safe onlineâ&#x20AC;? and not subject to harassment, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a gaming forum or on social EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: /FWJM )VOU OFWJM IVOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: .FMMJTTB .VSSBZ NNVSSBZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN

media. Kids should be free to pursue their interests and socialize in order to navigate these risks for themselves, says Johnson, and ultimately, they should feel they can trust the adults in their lives to help them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not blame or punish them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when something goes wrong.

Creators of i-Pad hearing test get $1M from Grand Challenges Canada Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Tens of thousands more people in developing countries will have access to hearing tests by 2017, thanks to a $1 million funding boost for Ottawa company Clearwater Clinical. The funding, announced July 21, is coming from Grand Challenges Canada, which is funded by the federal government. Clearwater was one of six global health projects to receive funds, allowing the companies to scale up. In Clearwater’s case, it means having the ShoeBOX Audiometer – an i-Pad app and set of calibrated headphones that accurately test a person’s hearing – available throughout South America, as well being able to continue the product’s development and refinement. The technology has been expanded to include more tests,

and languages. According to the World Health Organization, about 360 million people worldwide suffer from hearing loss. “Hearing loss is an enormous issue; it’s actually the world’s No. 1 disability,” Clearwater CEO Michael Weider said in a conference call the day of the announcement. The way Clearwater addresses that issue is by providing Shoebox, which was developed with CHEO, at onetenth of the cost of traditional audiometers, which can cost about $100,000, plus another $25,000 for a sound booth. “We’ve had enormous success globally,” Weider said, adding the product is now in 20 different countries, including Vietnam, Uganda, Haiti, Guatamala and even Canada’s North. “It’s either this or nothing in the developing world,” Weider said.

“With Shoebox, basically anyone – a nurse, a general physician a health clinic worker, anybody ¬– can test people’s hearing in three to five minutes.” The company also has a web portal where the test results can be logged, meaning governments and non-governmental organizations can track hearing loss trends and information to direct policy decisions, he said. While some hearing loss can be helped by hearing aids, Weider said other hearing loss can be caused by an infection that would benefit from treatment. “It can help improve their lives and to communicate, interact and to learn as a child. There’s all sorts of solutions out there to address it, but the first stage is really to find the people with problems and get them treatment and care,” he said.

The product is also being used in tuberculosis cases. Certain TB treatments can cause hearing loss. Shoebox can be used to determine how to modify the dose of the drug without causing hearing problems. The $1 million bump will help as the company as it continues to grow, Weider said. “It’s really about scaling and growing the impact, and being able to grow this from a fledgling project into a thriving business that will be sustainable and ongoing.” That’s exactly why Grand Challenges Canada is supporting big ideas with big impacts, said CEO Peter Singer. “This particular announcement is showcasing Canadian innovators and how some great Canadian academics and companies are making a very, very significant impact in global health using innovation,” he said.

SUBMITTED

Clearwater Clincial, which created an i-Pad audiometer with calibrated headphones to expand hearing tests to developing countries, was one of six global health projects to receive funds from Grand Challenges Canada. Clearwater Clinical shipped between 50 and 60 Shoebox units in the last quarter and revenues for the product are

expected to double this year. Each unit supplied to a NGO costs about $1,000, which is a discounted rate.

Police identify pedestrian killed Accident kills man at Somerset West and Rochester streets Staff

Police have identified the man who died after he was hit by a vehicle at Somerset Street West and Rochester Street on July 22 as Brian Thompson, 53, of Ottawa. They originally put a call to the public to identify the man, killed on July 22.

The man had no identification on him, is Caucasian, between 45 to 50 years old, about six foot, between 240 and 250 pounds, with a stocky build, light coloured hair and was balding. He was wearing grey shorts and a grey T-shirt. According to a police release, witnesses said he came out of a nearby laundromat, and possibly lived in the area. The man was treated for multi-system trauma and head injuries by Ottawa paramedics when

they arrived on scene, after receiving the call at 2:14 p.m. The patient’s vital signs were absent on arrival and he received advanced life support care before being transported to the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus Trauma Centre. Rochester Street was closed between Spruce Street and Eccles Street, and Somerset Street West was closed between Preston Street and Booth Street following the accident, while it was being investigated.

Nurses Association ‘appalled’ by dismissal of charges Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ontario Nurses Association vice-president Vicki McKenna said the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre needs a wake-up call. McKenna said in a press release on July 15 that she was appalled by a court’s decision to dismiss all charges against the hospital in the 2012 attack on four staff by a patient with schizophrenia. The charges were laid under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The patient choked one nurse into unconsciousness and choked and hit three more. The case has been in court since November 2014. The nurses association and the Crown prosecutor asserted that the hospital didn’t do enough to warn staff that the patient was

violent. The association called for an appeal of the decision. “This is a sad day for Ontario’s health care workers,” McKenna said. “This not only affects ONA’s 62,000 registered nurses and allied health professionals, but we continue to be deeply concerned about insufficient security and other safety measures for those providing patient care at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.” George Weber, the hospital’s president, said in an email the administration is pleased with the decision. “We are very pleased the court found that reasonable precautions, policies, procedures and training were in place at the time of

this incident,” he wrote. “The safety of our staff is of utmost importance to us and it is truly unfortunate that some employees were injured. We work continuously to promote safety for staff while respecting the rights and dignity of our patients.” But McKenna said the administration needs a wake-up call and pointed out that the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group’s Brockville site is currently facing five charges under the same Act for an incident where a nurse was stabbed in the throat by a patient. That trial is set to resume in August. Weber said the centre’s clients are people suffering from severe and complex mental illnesses and addictions and are a vulnerable population.

“Our goal is always to maintain a safe environment for our staff and a therapeutic environment for our clients,” Weber said.

Golfers take successful swing at setting world record Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

One by one golfers and non-golfers alike lined up, some in costume and others in military uniform, to take a swing at making history. Their successful attempt on July 21 to have the most people hit a golf ball 100 yards in one hour drew 239 participants, sinking the record set last August in Hong Kong, where 199 people turned out. “I didn’t see too many of those balls falling short of 100 yards,” Mike Sutherland, Ottawa RedBlacks game announcer and Orléans resident, told the crowd at the Hylands Golf Club on Alert Road before they erupted in cheers and applause when an official announced the results. The event was as much

about helping homeless military veterans in Canada as it was about setting a record and playing golf. Funds raised through the upcoming National Capital Open professional tournament at the Hylands club, Aug. 15 to 21, will go to the Support Our Troops program. The goal is to generate $100,000 during the tournament, part of the Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada schedule. Some of the best young Canadian and international golfers in the world are scheduled to take part this year. “I think it’s important that we show our support for the cause,” said Col. Richard Goodyear, a Nepean resident and commander of Canadian Forces Support Unit – Ottawa. “The Guinness World Record is a nice thing to try, but the idea behind it is to generate support for

Support Our Troops, and to have that support for homeless veterans,” he said. Funds will also support Veterans House, where homeless veterans will be able to live once it is built at the former CFB Rockcliffe. Among those taking part in a preview of the tournament was retired lieutenant-general Stu Beare, former Ottawabased commander of Canadian Forces operations. He is now the patron of Soldiers Helping Soldiers, which sees military personnel volunteer their time to patrol Ottawa streets with partner organizations to connect with homeless vets. “We serve in uniforms, walking the beat, connecting people with people,” said Beare, who patrolled with the group in January.

Mayor’s Report

LANSDOWNE PARK By: Mayor Jim Watson

City Council recently received its annual report on the Lansdowne Park partnership, and it contains some very good news for Ottawa residents. It shows that the site was visited by over 2.5 million last year, and that over 1,000 jobs have been created at Lansdowne in the shops, arena, restaurants, stadium and on the grounds. It also shows how popular and successful the Horticulture Building has become, with hundreds of events taking place each year, many of which are charity and non profit activities. The popular Farmers’Market continues to grow, with the addition of the very popular Christmas markets held in the Aberdeen Pavilion in December. I am pleased to report we have also signed a new lease with our Farmers to ensure they have continued stability. The retail component is now 97% leased, and it’s great to see so many people enjoying dinner on one of the many patios throughout the Park.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Jumping for a win

On the Canal side of the park, I always marvel at the amount of new green space and trees that have been added to the public areas.

Whether its kids playing in the park, or skateboarding or just tossing Abby McCorriston, riding Doo-Ri, at the Ottawa International Horse Show at Wesley Clover Park on July 23. The multi day event run from July 20 to July 24 and included a variety of divisions. a Frisbee around the Great Lawn, the Park is now really a Park! The fruit trees and apple orchard are now bearing fruit, and the community gardens beside the Horticulture building are fully utilized. The skating court was open more than 100 days last season, as well. Financially, the plan sees the City receiving a dividend of over $32 million over the life of the agreement. What a change from Lansdowne, complete with its rundown building and acres of asphalt costing taxpayers $3-4 million in losses each year! All of the doom and gloom that Glebe grocery stores would close hasn’t happened, or that traffic would be a nightmare on game days, really has not materialized. Yes, there is more traffic at the site, but OSEG has worked with the community to minimize this with their agreement with OC Transpo and operating shuttle services. Sadly, some on council continue to fight the deal, but they just can’t seem to accept that we have a great success on our hands. (Ironically, some of those same opponents were happy to rush to have their picture taken during the grand opening and plaque unveiling!) So after decades of indecision and dithering, we have transformed this important city asset from a pavement jungle into a work, live, play destination that is serving our community well.

Ottawa property assessments well below provincial average Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa is well below the provincial average for increases in residential property assessments, coming in at an average of 3.45 per cent. That is well below the 18 per cent increase residents in the Greater Toronto Area are seeing. Other cities in eastern Ontario, such as Brockville, Kingston, Cornwall and Pembroke will see a five per cent increase on average. Wendy Stephanson, deputy city treasurer for the city’s revenue department, blamed the low rates on federal public servant layoffs and a sluggish condo market. Taxes will go up for properties that have been assessed at an increased value of more than the city average of 3.45 per cent. For those houses that sit below the average, taxes could go down. But that is independent of any budgetary tax increase decided by council, Stephanson said. “Those figures will be available in April or May,” she said. The wards that are likely to see a break for the assessment period, which is 2017 to 2020, are Somerset, which saw a change of minus

0.21 per cent, Gloucester-Southgate, with a change of only 0.65 per cent, and Gloucester South-Nepean which sits at a change of 2.93 per cent. Stephanson said the factors that affect the assessed value are: • Location • Lot dimensions • Living area • Age of property • Quality of construction Despite the relatively small change in the overall Ottawa property assessments, some area are red hot, according to Stephanson. Kitchissippi’s increase is 7.35 per cent, Rideau-Goulbourn is up by

5.34 per cent, followed by Stittsville, Kanata North and Kanata South, which will go up by 5.03, 4.16 and 5.02 per cent respectively. College Ward sits pretty close to the average, with an increase of 3.49 per cent. Capital and River Ward could also see increases as the assessed residential properties went up by an average of 4.68 per cent for Capital and 4.11 per cent for River Ward. Stephanson said that a one per cent increase in assessed value doesn’t mean a corresponding one per cent increase in property taxes. Of the 291,000 assessments that were mailed out on July 18, 15,000

will have increases of more than 13.45 per cent. Those ones will be sent tax impact letters and encouraged to check the reasons for the assessment. “I would encourage anyone to go over the assessment,” Stephanson said. For a house valued at $375,000 during the last assessment period that moved to a value of $425,000 (a 13.6 per cent jump) that would equal $197 more in taxes during the first year, $193 in the following year, $190 in the third and $187 in the fourth. That doesn’t take into account the council mandated 2.5

per cent increase. Scott Templeton, the regional manager of municipal and stakeholder relations for MPAC, said that residents have 120 days or until Nov. 15 to file a request for reconsideration if they think their assessment is wrong. He didn’t have Ottawa specific numbers, but said an average of three per cent of Ontario property owners file the requests and less than half of those are successful. The mail outs on July 18 were only for residential properties. Assessments for farms will go out on Oct. 11 and everything else will be mailed out Oct. 18.

Precision a key ingredient to Canada’s Olympic sprint relay potential: coach Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Glenroy Gilbert trains his eagle eye on each Olympian as their powerful legs eat up the track at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooney’s Bay, watching closely as the baton is passed to the next sprinter. With the countdown now on to the Summer Olympic Games in Rio, the Bells Corners resident and coach of the Canadian Olympic men’s and women’s power speed and relay teams is now only making small tweaks to his 4x100-metre sprint relay athletes’ performances. “What we need is precision,” said Gilbert, who won gold in the same event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Rio will be his ninth Olympics — five as an athlete and four as coach. “If you don’t have precision and you’re not getting it right here with nobody watching, you’re not going to get it right when there are 65,000 people staring at you and the pressure is through the roof,” he said following a brief team training session at the Mooney’s Bay Park track on July 18. It’s a matter of being able to fall back on instinct and rely on fundamentals by focusing on making a clean exchange and setting targets. “It’s just a matter of doing it when it counts,” Gilbert said after watching the majority of his relay team practise on the track,

including Orléans resident Oluwasegun Makinde and Gatineau’s Farah Jacques. Following another brief session a t the

track planned for July 19, they planned to fly out that same night to compete in the Müller Anniversary Games in

London, England, which take place July 22 to 24. See OLYMPIC, page 22

Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours. It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperation between area residents and the police and more importantly, between residents themselves. The Neighbourhood Watch Program encourages participation in crime prevention. As part of the program, you can learn: how to recognize and report suspicious activity in your neighbourhood, how to make your home less inviting as a target for thieves, and how to participate in Operation Identification, an engraving program for your valuables. To find out if Neighbourhood Watch exists in your area or to start a program, please contact my office.

Olympic relay teams hone skills at Terry Fox Athletic Facility Continued from page 21

“That’ll be a good indicator in terms of where our guys are at because some of the best teams in the world will be there,” Gilbert said. They’re going up against some incredible international talent. Jamaica, the U.S., China, Antigua are among the teams to beat, but Gilbert said Canada’s relay teams have “the potential for a

solid showing. “They’ll have to run really well if they want to win a medal in Rio for sure,” he said. “There are other teams that are as good, but we have to be better.” Peter Eriksson, head coach and chief technical officer for Athletics Canada, and his team have been making a number of changes he hopes will garner results —strong finishes, if not Olympic medals.

“We’ve done a lot of improvements to the program,” said Eriksson, a Hunt Club Park resident. “Last time at the worlds we had eight medals. That is exceeding what the Canadian team ever had before,” he said, referring to the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Beijing. It’s Eriksson’s job to run Canada’s track-and-field program, including national team

‘We’ve done a lot of improvements to the program.’ PETER ERIKSSON HEAD COACH FOR ATHLETICS CANADA

programs, as well as oversee program delivery and the athletics coaches.

Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic track-andfield athletes are under his watch, which is why he was closely observing the Canadian talent on display at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility. Like Gilbert, his resume is long and impressive. The former competitive speed skater began a 30-year coaching career at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow with Team Sweden and went on

to become a head coach of Olympic and Paralympic track-and-field athletes in the United Kingdom and Canada. Next up is Rio. Eriksson will soon fly there and stay for the next two months. “The goal is to do two or three medals, which would be 200-per-cent better than in 2012,” he said. “If we can add some gold to that it might even be the best ever ... Olympics as well.”

Tips For A Happy And Healthy Indoor Kitty Even though cats may love to have the freedom of running around outside, so too would dogs whose freedom we strictly control. In fact, small children would relish the opportunity to roam freely all day, with little or no regard for their safety. In today’s world this freedom is just not possible. Cats crave familiarity, structure and routine, which is exactly what an indoor life has to offer, with the added bonus of safety from all the dangers that await them outside! By ensuring your cat has the necessary home environment, proper diet, enrichment items, and interactive play, your cat can live a long and happy life indoors. Whether your cat is already a strictly indoor cat or a newly transitioned one, you will want to ensure your home has all the items your cat requires to keep her

feeling safe and mentally stimulated. This includes: 1. A refuge room where your cat can go to feel safe during times of anxiety (loud noises, unfamiliar visitors, construction, etc.) 2. Places to climb and perch on, such as a cat tree or a window perch 3. An appropriate scratch post 4. Solo toys that can keep kitty entertained on her own, such as toy mice, ping pong balls and even paper bags 5. A litter box that is kept well cleaned, as cats have meticulous litter box preferences 6. Interactive toys, such as cat wands, that can be used by you during play time with your pet Learn more great pet tips at www.ottawahumane.ca/ your-pet.

$10 million announced for home care and caregiver respite Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

For the last 26 years, Georgette Connolly has lived at Gladstone Terrace, and for her, there’s no place better than home. At 95, she needs a bit of help bathing and with her legs, but she’s able to get that help right in her own home. “Health care has been very good to me,” Connolly said. “But there’s no place like home.” Connolly’s comments came following a provincial announcement that an extra $10.3 million is on its way to the region to support home care patients and their caregivers. The Ontario government announced the new annual funding for home and community care on July 20. It will be delivered by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, the umbrella organization for eastern Ontario hospitals. About $8.3 million will be used to expand services for high-needs clients, based on a standardized assessment. It will provide things like nursing, therapy and personal support. The remaining $2.1 million will provide caregiver respite services, so they can take some time for themselves. That translates to:

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

Ottawa Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi were on hand to announce that the Champlain LHIN Region would receive an additional $10 million this year for home care and caregiver respite. The announcement took place at Gladstone Terrace on July 20. • 36,365 hours of nursing care • 135,340 hours of support • 62,340 hours of respite care • 10,390 hours of rehab. “Our government is committed to making sure patients get better care, closer to home and providing the supports that caregivers need,” Ottawa South MPP John Fraser said at the announcement. And the money won’t just support

seniors. “It’s people of all ages that will be able to get additional hours of service and it will allow people who are asking for service, who maybe would have to wait a little while, it will help us serve them more quickly,” Chantale LeClerc, Champlain LHIN CEO said. It’s not an insignificant bump either, LeClerc said. It represents a five

per cent increase to the home care budget that flows through the Community Care Access Centre. “We’ve been working for years now in this region to put in more and different programs to help people at home avoid unnecessary hospital visits, avoid admissions to long-term care homes, and we’ve actually been really successful, but that means there is a growing demand for ser-

vices in the community.” While the money is for those with the highest needs, it will also free up funds for those with fewer needs. “When the demand is great, you end up having to prioritize who can get services first and often times the people with the highest needs get service, so if their needs are looked after, it means we can serve people with lower needs, or serve them faster.” In total, the province is doling out $80 million for more home care and $20 million for caregiver support. That breaks down to 350,000 additional hours of nursing care, 1.3 million additional hours of personal support, 600,000 hours of respite services and 100,000 hours of rehabilitation. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said the money will also help with health care costs because it keeps seniors and those with high needs out of hospitals, resulting in lower wait times. “It has a multiplier effect in terms of benefits not only of a healthy society and healthy seniors, but also making sure our health care system is operating to its maximum utility,” Naqvi said. The funding is part of a provincial promise to spend $750 million over three years in home and community care.

y dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table, where, when laid out on the platter, I wouldn’t dare cast an eye, knowing perfectly well, I would be sick as a dog at the very sight. Mother knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead. My three brothers would wander down to the river this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories and would have a pail full, ready for Mother to cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “Still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.” My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big, black iron fry pan, and vision the fish,

which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in the pan was because they were still alive, which distressed me even further. The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when, once again, a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in

front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air like gossamer clouds, and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery. Father had peeled off his plaid shirt, and Emerson went upstairs and came down in his underwear. I couldn’t wait to crawl into the fresh cool flour bag sheets and hopefully feel a bit of night air come in the window near the bed, and put the thought of the ugly mud pout out of my mind. Usually my brothers complained about going to bed. They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen.

I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. And then my feet touched something ... wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed bloody murder; Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar. Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout

first. It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey to change the sheets, even though they had been put on fresh that day, and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout. I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block, and the ugly mud pout. And long into the night, I thought I could hear Emerson downstairs in the kitchen, laughing his head off!

Pear pizza perfect summer appetizer This appetizer is perfect for casual entertaining at the cottage or in your backyard. It goes well with either a VQA white wine or an Ontario craft beer. Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Grilling time: 8 minutes Serves 8 to 10 (Makes 40 pieces) INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced Ontario shallots • 3 tbsp (45 mL) balsamic vinegar • 1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup • 1 pkg (650 g) pizza dough, thawed if frozen • 3/4 cup (175 mL) crumbled blue cheese (113 oz/.104 kg) • 3 bartlett pears, peeled and sliced thinly PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

In small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots; reduce heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally until golden brown and very soft, five to eight minutes. Add vinegar and maple syrup; simmer gently until shallots are glazed and most of the liquid has evaporated, five to six minutes. Remove

Place both dough rectangles on grill, close lid and reduce heat to mediumhigh. Grill for two minutes; flip over and grill another two minutes. If dough puffs up, press down with a metal spatula.

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, you may feel a bit disconnected from your feelings this week. It’s alright to pull back for a time and get things straight in your head. Things will soon return to the status quo. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take constructive criticism in stride this week. Criticism can sometimes sting, but this critique is meant to assist you in the long run. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, this week you are acutely aware of a strong emotional bond between yourself and someone who is off-limits. You may need to rein in your feelings and keep things friendly. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Holding on to a bunch of material belongings simply because they bring you comfort may bog you down with unnecessary stuff, Cancer. Start cleaning up. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, things that you say or do this week may seem like they are scripted out of a movie. Rather than putting on an act, let others know how you truly feel. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you open yourself up to change, you may find that there are plenty of additional opportunities coming your way. Be receptive to new ideas this week.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your natural ability to interact gracefully with others will serve you well in many different applications. This is especially helpful in a managerial capacity. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week your loved ones will chip in and take the burden off of you in some way. Make sure they know how much you appreciate them. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, let your emotions guide you in the week ahead. While it’s important to apply critical thinking to big decisions, this week you will benefit from an emotional approach. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It can be difficult to separate work life from home life, Capricorn. But that’s just what you have to do in the days ahead. Otherwise, neither will get your full attention. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You may be eager to learn more about someone this week, even if this person is not in your immediate circle of friends, Aquarius. Explore the possibilities that lie ahead. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sticking to a firm schedule might be nearly impossible in the next few days. Make things a bit more fluid so you have some wiggle room. 0728
