North Kanata bus routes to be changed Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

OC Transpo is proposing a number of changes for routes in north Kanata.

The proposal will improve service to the communities of Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook, as well as along Teron Road, the business park and a new park-and-ride on Innovation Drive, said Mikael Leroux, OC Transpo team lead on

the project.

The new plan is also in preparation for light rail at Tunney’s Pasture in 2018.

If approved, changes will take effect in January and the routes will charge a regular fare, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

“The service in the area isn’t changing significantly,” she said.

Maple Grove Road closed until September for sewer work Construction won’t affect baseball: councillor

will now be closed until September.

Maple Grove, between Terry Fox and Silver Seven Road, has been closed since July 20 and the closure will remain in effect until early September, says a release from the city.

Sewer pipes that relate to the construction of a pumping station in Kanata West are being installed. Work is scheduled to take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and

On the heels of construction along Terry Fox Drive and Katimavik Road, a portion of Maple Grove Road

S 50% A 90% V E

could be extended to 10 p.m., says the release. There is no overnight work planned.

The closure and construction work will not affect access to the parking lot near Scott Tokessy Field, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

“We asked to keep the parking lot open for ball games,” he said. “It won’t interfere with Little League.”

With the Scott Tokessy

Memorial Gold Glove Tournament coming up Aug. 5 to 7, Hubley said he wanted to reassure those participating that access will be maintained.

A temporary entrance to the parking lot will be available when the original entrance is closed, said Hubley.

Pedestrian access will not

be affected in the area, signed detours are in place for motorists, and “there are no anticipated effects to OC Transpo routes,” said the city.

Walter Baker Park and nearby businesses will also remain open.

Hubley said south Kanata will inherit a chunk of park-

land attached to the Kanata Recreation Complex once the work is finished.

“We’re looking at what can be done about that,” he said.

OC Transpo hosts meeting Aug. 18 Continued from page 1

“There still could be some fine tuning on this – there often is,” said Wilkinson OC Transpo was at the Kanata North Picnic on July 20 to answer questions and listen to feedback.

The change team will also take part in an information session on Aug. 18, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata, 4101 Innovation Dr. Feedback on the proposed changes is due Aug. 19.

PROPOSED CHANGES

Proposed changes include replacing the current route 93 with routes 60 and 64.

The two routes would provide direct access from Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant to downtown during rush hour, and to Lincoln

Fields Station during offpeak hours and on weekends, said Wilkinson.

Feedback from residents has been mixed, said the councillor.

Many who use the existing 64 are happy to see an increase in service and a faster commute downtown, said Wilkinson. Others who live on Brady Avenue and Flamborough Way aren’t happy the changes would increase the number of buses on their streets.

North of Terry Fox the two routes operate in a one-way loop, with route 60 serving the Briarbrook area and the 64 operating in Morgan’s Grant.

New service would be introduced on Brady Avenue, between Old Second Line Road and Halton Terrace, while a portion of Halton Terrace, between Klondike and Brady, will lose its service, said Wilkinson.

During off-peak times,

routes 60 and 64: • operate seven days a week to Lincoln Fields; • run every 20 minutes; • travel along Legget Drive, Schneider Road, Carling Avenue and Teron Road.

During each rush hour, both routes: • travel directly downtown, bypassing the Legget route using March and Teron roads; • operate every 15 minutes for a combined 7- to 8-minute frequency along common stops; • offer 12 trips.

Both routes would also provide a connection to the Kanata North Business Park for people travelling from downtown (replacing route 93) during peak periods. The buses would run every 20 minutes in the morning and every 30 minutes in the evening.

Lifetime Achievement Award

HALL OF FAME

New route 264 would be added to serve Kanata Lakes during peak times.

Buses would operate every 20 minutes to downtown in the morning and on return trips in the evening.

The route replaces the 64 along Huntsville and Goldridge drives, and Terry Fox Station.

Revisions are also being proposed for routes 165, 181 and 182: • The 165 would extend to Briarbrook.

• The 181 would travel from Terry Fox via Legget Drive, Solandt Road, Hines Road and Innovation Drive.

• The 182 would serve the north Kanata business park.

All three routes, as well as the 60 and 64, would serve the new Innovation Station park-and-ride. It will feature 244 parking spots in phase 1, with the option to

It takes place on Wednes-

next to All Saints Catholic High School, 5115 Kanata

Ave. The primary goal of this event being to foster cultural awareness and harmony, and it will be fun and educational!

Have you ever dreamt of what would you like to do in your retirement? Members of Chasing Dreams have decided at least one thing to do: dance!

Every weekday (and some weekends, too), over 30 regular members of the club gather in the parking lot of Whalen Park and dance together.

In the winter, they meet in basements of some of the members. The club offers a casual and easygoing experience for the dancers as well as a wonderful social opportunity. new friends

For the dancers, many of whom come from China and have difficulty speaking English, the daily dance practices are a way to meet similar people in their communities

submitted

and get to know new friends.

Being able to connect with others is important for everyone, and the dance club is a great example of how it can be done.

With the help of some local youth and the KCSSC, these dancers would like to share their joy and cultural experiences with the wider community through this event.

They are excited to see you and be able to share, and they hope you are too.

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

! % 0 9 o T SaveUp

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.

Sports will win over the world

I

t’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.

That’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, Canada’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.

MacLennan’s efforts and emotions – along with the determination and commitment of her fellow Olympians – 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.

Let’s stop telling kids the Internet is scary

W

hen it comes to managing our kids’ 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, they’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.

“What research suggests – including wide-ranging research in the U.K. – is that kids who are not given opportunities to take risks online don’t develop the safety skills they need and they don’t

BRYNNA LESLIE develop resiliency,” says Matthew Johnson, director of education at MediaSmarts. “That means when things do go wrong, they don’t know what to do and it affects them more strongly and more negatively.”

Research also suggests that parents who spy on their kids – constantly monitoring their online behaviour – are actually putting their kids at greater overall risk.

“Kids who think they’re under constant surveillance are not going to go to their parents when they get into trouble,” says Johnson.

Fear-based media, government and educational campaigns geared

at teaching kids about real risks like cyberbullying and privacy are also having the opposite intended effect, says Johnson.

“Most efforts by governments at all levels to address these issues have been framed in negative, punitive context, relying on scare tactics, all of which are elements that we know make youth tune them out,” Johnson told the audience at the Canadian Internet Forum in Ottawa last month.

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 – and women—from the tech world and the larger digital economy.

“There are a lot of online spaces that can be unfriendly to girls,” says Johnson. “But we also know these spaces – the gaming world for example – can be important gateways to (the acquisition of) technology

skills. When we give girls the idea that the online world is unsafe, they’re not even going to try to get into these spaces.”

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 they’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.

“Our research found that in homes where rules about expected online behaviour had been established – sharing of personal contact information, insulting someone – kids were less likely to engage in negative behaviours online.”

Johnson says it’s also important to let kids know that they “have the right to be safe online” and not subject to harassment, whether it’s in a gaming forum or on social EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 POLITICAL REPORTER: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5PM

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 – not blame or punish them – when something goes wrong.

Creators of i-Pad hearing test get $1M from Grand Challenges Canada 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

NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA The Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law 2016-249 on July 13, 2016, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. City Council considered all submissions, including submissions received after the publication of the staff report, in addition to the planning and other considerations identified in the staff report in its decision on this matter. The staff report, and the Summary of Written and Oral Submissions can be viewed as part of the supporting materials for this matter as part of the July 13, 2016 Council Agenda available on Ottawa.ca.

Any person or public body who, before the by-law was passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the by-law, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $300.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

– 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.

See AUDIOMETER, page 11

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.

Do you have your fresh garlic yet?

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on August 17, 2016.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board.

A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Should the by-law be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the planner identified in the explanatory note that accompanies this Notice.

An explanation of the purpose and effect of the by-law and a description of the lands to which the by-law applies are included.

Dated at the City of Ottawa on July 28, 2016.

Clerk of the City of Ottawa City Hall 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1

EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-249 By-law 2016-249 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. This by-law reduces and in some cases eliminates the minimum number of parking spaces required for development in the inner-urban area and near rapid-transit stations, consistent with the relevant policies of the Official Plan.

It will also introduce incidental changes to required aisle widths in parking garages, minimum driveway widths and zoning rules governing car-sharing services. A minimum visitor parking requirement for residential uses is introduced in those parts of the Central Area where visitor rates currently do not apply.

Audiometer is used in 20 countries Continued from page 10

The way Clearwater addresses that issue is by providing Shoebox, which was developed with CHEO, at one-tenth 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’s either this or nothing in the developing world.’

Michael Weider Clearwater Clincial CEO

“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.

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.

Dragon boat festival honours breast cancer survivors Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Prior Chest Nuts put the paddle to the metal to claim the Breast Cancer Survivors Challenge, a 200-metre dragon boat race on Saturday, July 23.

With a time of 0.58.22, the Arnprior team edged past Ottawa’s Busting Out to finish 0.0.59 seconds ahead in the friendly – but hard-fought – competition.

Busting Out took the honour at last year’s inaugural Arnprior Dragon Boat Festival.

The two teams are composed of breast cancer survivors; the ‘Prior’s boat draws from the areas of Renfrew, Almonte, West Carleton and Kanata, while the members of Busting Out come from all communities across Ottawa.

Following the race, the two dragon boats drifted into the dock to take part in a flower ceremony to honour those who are fighting, have fought or will fight breast cancer.

“This flower ceremony and song are dedicated to the spirit of survivors, dragon boating and to those who ride the dragon with the angels,” said Wanda Monuk, Prior Chest Nuts team co-ordinator and Kinburn resident.

“The flower ceremony has become an important tradition in breast cancer survivor dragon boat rac-

“Survivor teams come together in the water to symbolize that together we are strong.”

Side by side in their dragon boats, the teams’ members raised carnations in the air and waved them back and forth as the song “Take it away” – recorded by a member of the Kingston Chestmates (a breast cancer survivor dragon boat team) – played over

the water. As the music came to a close, everyone tossed their flowers in the water.

NEW MEMBERS

The Chest Nuts are always looking for new members to join and welcome breast cancer survivors – both men and women – who want to test the waters.

“There’s no cap, no tryouts,” said Monuk. “You don’t have to have skill.

You just have to come out.

There’s lots of support for the sport and for survivors.”

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

Col. Richard Goodyear, Nepean resident and commander of Canadian Forces Support Unit – Ottawa, takes a swing in hopes of sending his golf ball flying at least 100 yards at the Hylands Golf Club on July 21. He was among 239 participants who help set a new Guinness World Record ahead of the National Capital Open, a professional tournament that will raise funds for homeless veterans.

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 Ottawa-based 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.

National Capital Open raises funds in support of homeless veterans Continued from page 16

It began three years ago as an experiment that has now involved at least 100 military volunteers and reached more than 280 homeless veterans.

“It’s way more than we ever expected,” the Alta Vista resident said. “It’s disturbing and it’s reassuring.

It’s disturbing because we didn’t know and it’s reassuring because we’re starting to know.”

The tournament will help foster important dollars for

those organizations supporting Canada’s homeless vets, “but more importantly it’s public consciousness,” Beare said.

“That level of consciousness is priceless because that means you can do something about it. You can mobilize volunteers in uniform or not. You can connect people with people.

“You can start getting real about what the real challenge is and what the best methods and partnerships are to help deal with it – all around a game of golf.”

Capt. Victoria Ryan, left, retired lieutenantgeneral Stu Beare and Sgt. Roxane Noseworthy are with Soldiers Helping Soldiers, a program through which uniformed personnel patrol Ottawa communities to connect with homeless military veterans and help them access supports.

Funding will help English public board tackle $600M maintenance deficit Continued from page18

St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in Alta Vista.

“I remember when this school was Charlebois, and it shows when a school is maintained,” the Alta Vista resident said, flanked by Ontario’s Infrastructure Minister and Ottawa-West Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde.

“These investments that we’re making are critical to keeping those learning places effective for the students that we serve,” Fraser said during the event, which saw representatives from all four boards come together for the first time.

The largest cheque will be going to the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to the tune of a $55-million increase for a total of $133 million. The Ottawa Catholic School Board will receive an extra $17 million for a total of $45 million.

The French Catholic board will see $21 mil-

lion thanks to a $7-million boost, and the French public school board is getting an extra $5 million, bringing its share to $13 million.

“It’s extremely helpful, particularly since in September we’re going to be starting some major learning and accommodation reviews across the district,” said Shirley Seward, trustee board chair with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

Those reviews will identify and address schools with low student populations, help increase populations and possibly result in school amalgamations and perhaps the creation of new schools, she said.

“But what is critical to this process is that the schools that ... already exist need the kinds of repairs and rejuvenation that this money will help with,” Seward said.

MAINTENANCE BACKLOG

The English public board is dealing with an approximately $600-million deficit in its school maintenance

Staff from four Ottawa school boards attended a provincial funding announcement held July 21 at St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in Alta Vista. and upgrading budget.

“That doesn’t mean our schools are not safe, but it does mean they are not at the highest standards that we expect our schools to be at,” Seward said.

A number of elementary schools in Seward’s River zone have received improvements, she said, but other schools, such as Brookfield

High School, need attention.

“Some schools have been waiting a number of years for non-critical repairs and maintenance that have to be done,” she said.

The funding increase, which will roll out over the next two years, is in response to recommendations made last year by Ontario’s

auditor general, said Fraser. One such recommendation advocated that school renewal funding envelopes be increased to 2.5 per cent of a school’s replacement value.

“You can imagine as a parent, I want only one thing,” said Naqvi, a father of two, including a fouryear-old boy who will go to

school for the first time this autumn. “I want the best education for my child as he starts school and I want him to be safe. And that feeling is not just unique to me and my wife. It’s true for every single parent.”

Providing a “friendly, warm environment” leads to enormous gains for students, said Elaine McMahon, chair of the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

St. Pat’s High alone saw $1.4 million spent on renovating food services and specialty classrooms, revamping washrooms, renovating administrative offices as well as paying for new ceiling tiles and lighting.

“It’s extremely important that when you walk into a building you feel like it’s home, and that you take pride in that building,” said McMahon. “And as soon as you have that sense of pride and a sense of commitment to the building and to the school, learning begins.

“I can only say, keep it coming,” McMahon said of the new money, prompting laughter.

Canadian Olympic 4x100-metre relay sprinter Farah Jacques, left, of Gatineau, prepares to take the baton from Guelph’s Marissa Kurtimah on the track at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility on July 18. Both the men’s and women’s 4x100-metre relay teams trained at the track before travelling to compete in the London Anniversary Games July 22 to 24 ahead of the Rio Summer Olympics in August.

Precision key 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

Dr. Corrine Motluk

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 at 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.

“That’ll be a good indica-

tor 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.

WHAT A GREAT DAY WE HAD FOR OUR KANATA NORTH PICNIC - The weather could not have been better and this made for one of the biggest turn outs yet (approximately 3,500 people). Some stayed until almost 9:00 pm to listen to the Andrew Cassara Band who were happy to keep on playing for them. There was such a crowd that we ran out of hotdogs and drinks before closing but that didn’t stop everyone from enjoying themselves. I loved seeing small children carefully feeding a goat, gleefully jumping on the bouncies, or getting cotton candy all over their faces. Crash the clown had a lineup for balloon animals and everyone under 7 seemed to want to be a fireman.

David Gourley announced the many groups that entertained us, from the guitars (and garbage can drums) from the kids at W.E. Erskine Johnston School to the little Hindu and Sri Lankan dancers and Capital City Dance Group, the Chinese Seniors who danced with fans, the Irish Highland dancers, the CFUW Guitar Groovers, the lovely voice of Emma Lamontagne and Maria Hawkins who got everything going.

The many groups that participated add so much – from the robotics team to the face painters to the turtle crafts, fun science, electric vehicles, OC Transpo, public library, BIA, Ottawa Public Health and more. Special thanks goes to Councillor Qadri and his staff who provided thousands of cotton candy and snow cones and to Enbridge for providing the BBQ. Walking around the picnic, it was terrific to see the great sense of community we have here in Kanata North.

I am very proud to be able to serve this wonderful part of the City. The picnic could not happen without the generous donations from our sponsors and the help of our volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of our special picnic day, one that brings our community closer each year. You are the ones who make it happen.

The work will involve the installation of new sewers on a portion of Morrena Road, new sidewalks along the south side of Morrena Road, reconstruction of the Morrena Road roadway structure and the construction of a new storm pond on City property.

The work will take place on Morrena Road, adjacent to the Glen Cairn Public School and Glen Cairn Community Centre and next to the Hazeldean Public Library, located at 50 Castlefrank Road. This work is scheduled to commence on July 25, 2016 and will be completed at the end of October 2016. Carry over work, including final road paving activities, may occur in spring 2017.

To allow the work to be completed in a timely manner, on street parking will be prohibited during the construction period. Signs will be placed 24 hours in advance indicating the parking prohibition. In the event that access to your driveway is restricted due to construction activities, the On-Site Inspector will provide you with a temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) to authorize on-street parking within a few blocks of your residence.

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

‘We’ve done a lot of improvements to the program.’

Peter Eriksson Head coach for Athletics Canada

Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic track-and-field 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-percent better than in 2012,” he said.

“If we can add some gold to that it might even be the best ever ...

Olympics as well.”

Canada Child Benefit

I am delighted that our Government’s new Canada Child Benefit (CCB) will be paid monthly to eligible families, beginning this month. The CCB is simple; families will receive a single payment every month, tax-free, and they will not have to pay back amounts received when they file their tax returns. It is also better targeted to those who need it most; low and middle-income families will receive more benefits while those with the highest incomes will receive lower benefits than under the current system. I could not agree with our Prime Minister more when he says, “The new Canada Child Benefit means more money for healthier groceries, kids’ summer programs, and back-to-school clothes. This is about putting money in the pockets of families who need it most, investing in our future, and helping the Canadian economy grow for the benefit of all.”

Treatment will take up to one year Continued from page 25

The fundraiser will help to fund the family’s living expenses while Jonathon receives treatment at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.

The provincial government is funding the procedure – but the family will need help with additional medical costs and living expenses.

For Jonathon, giving up a year of his life now for the treatment, will hopefully mean more time with his family later.

Without the treatment, Jonathon could die before he reaches the age of 20.

Most people with aggressive forms of the disease such as Jonathon’s die of skin cancer at a young age.

For Jonathon’s mom, Tina Boileau, the treatment is scary because it’s unknown, but she hopes it will give Jonathon a new lease on life.

“It’s by no means a cure,” she said. “But, hopefully, he will be in less pain and able to walk some.”

Boileau said in addition to donating bone marrow, she will donate skin for grafts as well.

The hope is that after the transplant, Jonathon’s skin is able to retain some elasticity and regenerate.

“He’s very brave and resilient,” Boileau said of Jonathon, adding she will miss her home and her 14-yearold daughter while she’s in Minneapolis, but the family will keep in touch via Skype, FaceTime and regular visits.

“This is very temporary,” she said, adding Jonathon has to stay to make sure the procedure is successful and that his body doesn’t reject the transplants.

Right now, Jonathon can’t

He said the hardest part of the treatment for him will be being away from his best

Syrian Refugee Celebration

It was inspiring to attend two events this past week, held to welcome our new community members, thank those who worked on their behalf, and raise funds to support families. I was joined by Mayor Jim Watson, and City Councillors Marianne Wilkinson and Shad Qadri in Kanata for a wonderful pancake breakfast. Pancakes and maple syrup are a perfect way to welcome our new residents from Syria! Then I was with Eli El-Chantiry at the “Taste of Syria” event in Constance Bay, held to raise funds to help family sponsorship. It was great to attend the two terrific events with outstanding community leaders!

Prime Minister’s Youth Council

The Government of Canada is committed to listening to the issues that matter most to young people. That is why our Prime Minister, in his role as Minister of Youth, committed in Budget 2016 to create a Prime Minister’s Youth Council. Canadians, aged 16 to 24, will provide the Prime Minister with non-partisan advice on national issues such as employment, access to education, building stronger communities as well as climate change and clean growth, among others.

Young Canadians who would like to participate are encouraged to apply online by 12 August 2016 at: https://www.canada.ca/en/campaign/ prime-ministers-youth-council.html

friend, Gibson, the family’s Boston terrier. Jonathon said he’s taught the dog to use FaceTime so he can see and talk to him while he’s away.

Jonathon is set to be in the United States on Aug. 22, and while he’s nervous, he’s excited too.

“It would be silly if I wasn’t nervous,” he said, adding it’s a very invasive procedure.

“But I hope to gain some time with my family and it could change my life.”

Boileau said it took a lot of coordination to get the treatment, but she hopes Jonathon will blaze a trail for other Canadians suffering from EB. “I hope that it makes it easier for other families to access the procedure,” she said.

$10 million announced for home care and caregiver respite

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 se-

niors 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.

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: • 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 services 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

Mayor’s Report

Lansdowne Park By: Mayor Jim Watson

Tread lightly with changes to community policing model: councillor Board will need to monitor future changes for impact to neighbourhoods

City Council recently received its annual report on the Lansdowne Park partnership, and it contains some very good news for Ottawa Brier Dodge residents. brier.dodge@metroland.com

It shows that the site was visited by over 2.5 million last year, and that Coun. Keith Egli is asking the over 1,000 jobs have been created at Lansdowne in the shops, arena, police services board to tread lightly restaurants, stadium and on the grounds. when it comes to upcoming comIt also shows how popular and successful the Horticulture Building munity policing model changes.

Currently, each of the city’s 15 has become, with hundreds of events taking place each year, many community police officer are asof which are charity and non profit activities. signed to an area, with the city 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.

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 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.

28 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, July 28, 2016

divided into sub-sections such as Kanata, Barrhaven, Bayshore or Cyrville.

Under the new model, there will be 10 community police offi-

cers, who will work under the same structure as school resource officers: they’ll have a high priority, secondary and tertiary priority neighbourhoods.

“We are looking to match resources to community needs,” Deputy Chief Jill Skinner told the police board at a July 25 meeting at city hall.

There would also be a secondary officer assigned for each of the communities.

Part of the reasoning for the model change is to focus more resources into areas where there are frequent complaints or serious problems.

But Egli, who represents the Knoxdale-Merivale ward, said his residents are concerned the

changes will be a “serious misstep” and they’re happy with the current model.

Egli doesn’t sit on the police services board, and spoke as a public delegation. He said he has concerns the police are shifting from a proactive to a reactive approach, and thinks neighbourhoods will notice a negative impact.

He urged board members to ensure the process and its impact is robustly monitored, and that the proposed community advisory committee have urban, suburban and rural representation monitored by the board.

“If this plan is going ahead, and apparently it is, monitoring is the next best step you can take,” Egli said.

Skinner said the model will be evaluated as it’s implemented, but she stands behind the new model that she said will be more effective, with a central centre taking information and measuring where the most policing is needed in the city.

“With any change, it’s important to understand that you need to measure if it’s efficient and effective and you have to be open to making changes if it’s not effective,” Skinner said. “We will continue to look at what this model will mean for the community once we put the people into the community.”

Crime Prevention Vanier’s Lucie Marleau said she hopes that the small transfers of knowledge from the community members to the community police officer can still continue once the changes are made, such as reports of “sketchy” things happening in the neighbourhood.

Those small, day-to-day interactions build trust between the officer and neighbourhood residents, she said, though she supports the changes being made overall.

“This doesn’t look like it’s going to deliver the type of trust relationship that works for us,” said board member Carl Nicholson. “It’s been brought to my attention, quite forcefully by a large number of people, that we’re going in the wrong direction. So if we are, we need to have a tool that lets us know quickly.”

Three more resource centres adopt trauma protocol Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

When an early morning shooting and stabbing occurred on Dalhousie Street at the end of June, the Lowertown community responded in a different way.

Shortly after the incident, the Lowertown Community Resource Centre and a small group of community partners, including the police joined forces to see how residents in the neighbourhood were coping with the crime that happened on their doorsteps.

"The goal is almost like a 911 response,” said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

The resource centre was working with a model fleshed out in Overbrook, helped establish a framework to help residents recover from violent crime.

The project was so effective Crime Prevention Ottawa decided to expand it city-wide in the spring.

Since that announcement,

the man behind the pilot project, Rideau Rockcliffe Resource Centre’s community development coordinator Medhi Louzoua, began reaching out to all the city's resource centres to see who would be interested in

other two centres will be confirmed in August.

With Lowertown, this recent crime set the protocol in motion immediately and Fleury admits it wasn’t smooth sailing with their first try, but was happy they

adopting the protocol.

“Different agencies have different procedures, but now this one thing brings everyone together,” Louzouaz said. “Five communities in total will be starting."

So far, Lowertown, Pinecrest Queensway and Carlington community resource centres are confirmed and training is already underway to help those centres respond to trauma more effectively. Louzouaz said the

had a plan to follow and he believes in the idea.

"We never plan for these things, so it's under way sooner than we thought,” Fleury said. “There is a lot more work needed to identify the needs, so we can call and get the groups sooner but I see the importance and the next steps and I am open that we need something like this in place.”

Rideau Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre community development co-ordinator Medhi Louzouaz helped develop a post-incident support network for neighbourhoods to use after a traumatic incident or crime. Started in Overbrook, the program will now expand to four other neighbourhoods in the city at the end of July.

Fleury said that moving forward the resource centre is trying to gather all the right community partners to be prepared and ready to respond if something were to happen again.

“Before different agencies had different procedures, and maybe that was creating more trauma or more concerns from residents,” Louzouaz said. “Now we have a platform where we are all communicating.”

The model was developed based partly on Ottawa’s gang strategy, Louzouaz explained, but addresses the trauma the neighbourhood has after a crime has taken place. Overbrook started it because of a shooting on Lilas Private.

The number one thing Louzouaz said they heard from residents after the shooting was residents wanted to be informed about what was going on immediately.

Operating like an updated, more technology advanced phone tree, the project allows the partners involved to hear from police about what is taking place after a violent crime.

“It’s not just one person's or agency's problem anymore,” Louzouaz said.

“Now it's (everyone’s) problem.”

Once rolled out in Lowertown, Pinecrest Queensway and Carlington, Louzouaz said the goal is not just to respond immediately

A shooting and stabbing on Dalhousie Street at the end of June set a new incident protocol in motion in Lowertown.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury admits it wasn’t smooth sailing the first time using it, but was happy they had a plan to follow and he believes in the idea. to the trauma, but to understand why the trauma occurred and work on the long-term issues a neighbourhood could be affected with.

In Overbrook, the community planned a movie in the park on July 15 to help bring the community together after another murder happened in the community this past winter in Lawson Park.

“When that incident happened long term issues were flagged,” Louzouaz said.

“At the end of the year we will take all the reports

from the other centres and see if there are any patterns, if there are ways we can avoid certain things in the future.”

Aside from the current post-incident protocol, Louzouaz said he is also working on other resources that could be helpful, including programming information and potentially media training for residents.

“It will be based on best practices,” he said. “We don’t want to reinvent the wheel, we are just using what is already out there, but more effectively.”

I run a small business and I have several small contracts that I am currently in the process of negotiating. Are these worth bringing to a lawyer for review?

Depending on the type of contract, there are a number of areas a lawyer’s expertise can provide guidance, including contracts relating to employment or contractor relationships, borrowing and secured transactions, equipment leases, and other commercial agreements. Simply because a document is short, this does not mean there aren’t important clauses or terms that require careful consideration.

A lawyer can meet with you for a short consultation in order to review your contractual document and answer any questions you might have. By communicating to the lawyer your expectations of the proposed contract, a lawyer can work with you to achieve your goals as well as highlight and help you understand risks and liabilities that you or your business may be taking on as part of the contract.

Contracts often contain important clauses relating to the limitation of liability, indemnification, and the waiver of important legal rights. Such clauses can have legal and financial implications for you or your business down the road. Understanding

Bluesfest ‘just the beginning’ for young Kanata band Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A four-piece alt-rock band from Kanata closed out the youth showcase on the final day of Bluesfest July 17.

Innisfallen was one of 12 youth bands to make the cut for the Road to RBC Bluesfest 2016, which gives performers under age 21 the opportunity to play the festival.

“Getting up on stage, it was this really cool feeling,” said frontman Aidan Schottler-Raymond.

“Once we got up there and in the zone, we were just excited to show people how we sounded.

“It was awesome. It was our best run through of all the songs – which was a good time for that to be.”

The band – comprising Schottler-Raymond on lead vocals and guitar, bass player Philip Bort-

nowski, Stewart Melville on guitar, and drummer Evan Wilson – composed four original songs to showcase during their 20-minute set at Bluesfest.

“It was a great feeling to get up there and show our own music to people,” said Melville.

The best part was seeing the crowd of people rocking out to their music.

“It really helped us get into the performance,” said Bortnowski.

Another aspect they hadn’t expected was the sound quality. As the drummer, it isn’t often Wilson gets to experience the full breadth of the music.

“It was really quite the pleasant surprise to hear all the other individual parts,” he said. “I was really able to get into the music.”

Innisfallen plans to record, release tracks Continued from page 33

The 17-year-old Earl of March Secondary School students began playing covers together in Grade 10, although they’ve all known each other since their elementary school days.

The band’s name was taken from the island in the Muskoka area where S c h o t t l e r- Ray m o n d ’s family owns a cottage and where the band has visited.

“It’s a really old, cool island; that’s the original name of the island.

It’s a creative place,” said Schottler-Raymond.

When they found out they had been selected to play Bluesfest – back in April – the members got to work on being creative, writing and composing a number of their own lyrics and melodies.

“We’d been doing covers at talent shows. We didn’t really have too much original material,” said Schottler-Raymond.

“We had to work really

hard to make sure we had four solid songs.”

The tracks to make the final set list were Passing Through, Empty Strangers, Pursuit and Coming Back Again, as well as a cover of Apparitions by Matthew Good Band.

Innisfallen plans to record and release a couple singles by the end of summer and wants to keep playing as many gigs as possible – while staying on top of their Grade 12 courses.

“We live music. We really take it seriously,” said Schottler-Raymond.

“We’re all hard working students too.”

Following up on a successful Bluesfest appearance, Innisfallen is raring to continue its forward momentum, said Bortnowski.

“This is just the beginning.”

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

from heat.

Lightly oil a clean counter. Roll or stretch out dough into two 6- x 12-inch (15 x 30 cm) rectangles.

Preheat barbecue to high. 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. Remove from grill.

Using metal spatula, spread cheese evenly over pizza crusts. Arrange pears, then shallots evenly over cheese. Return pizzas to grill, reduce heat to low and grill until dough is cooked through and slightly charred on the bottom, two to four minutes. Remove from grill, cool slightly and cut into pieces.

Man dies following police confrontation 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-yearold man as always having a smile on his face.

She said Abdi, a SomaliCanadian 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.

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 social media.

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.”

The SIU is asking that anyone with information contact the lead investigator at 1-800787-8529.

The SIU investigates incidents involving police where there has been a death, serious injury or sexual assault. It must decide whether an officer committed a criminal offence during the incident under investigation, and can lay criminal charges if appropriate.

Canada’s only golden girl at the London Olympics in 2012 will proudly carry the flag for Team Canada when the Games start in Rio next month.

MacLennan, from King City, Ont., bounced her way to gold in London four years ago, taking home Canada’s

“I’m honoured to represent the athletes,” MacLennan said. “This is beyond my wildest dreams.”

The announcement was made on the lawn of Parliament Hill on July 21.

Creative kids host ninth annual fundraiser for CHEO, food cupboard Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Save your empties – the Creative Kids who Care are back for the ninth year collecting liquor bottles and cans in support of CHEO and donations for the Kanata Food Cupboard.

The Crepeault family will host its annual bottle drive, food drive and bake sale on Aug. 6 beginning at 8 a.m.

“Our family continues to do this every year because we love giving back to our amazing community,” said mom Wendy. “The kids love spending the day with family and friends and working hard together towards the same goal – to raise as much as they can for CHEO and the Kanata Food Cupboard.”

In eight years, the family has raised around $15,000, she said.

Last year was a recordbreaker, with the family collecting 500 kilograms of food and school supplies, and raising more than $2,800 for CHEO.

for the food cupboard.

“We are still just collecting in Bridlewood the day of because we haven't ever had enough drivers to expand further,” said Wendy. “We are most happy though to collect from anywhere before the 6th.”

The family of 10 – which includes Wendy, her husband Kevin, and their eight children Jacob, Hannah, Sarah, Simon, Nathaniel, Lily, Joseph and Samuel – is looking for more drivers and high school students who’d like to volunteer the day of.

“We are definitely looking for more drivers,” she said, adding she can sign community service sheets.

As in past years, the fam-

ily will have a bake sale table at the end of their laneway.

The goodies will be available until about 2 p.m. or until all the goods have been sold.

People are invited to drop off bottle donations at the Crepeault home, located at 20 Redstone Ln., or contact the family to arrange a pickup time before Aug. 6.

“We were able to collect several hundred bottles from across Kanata last year before the bottle drive,” said Wendy.

Anyone interested in helping out can email the family at crepeault602@bell.net and check out the event on Facebook by searching "9th annual food & bottle drive."

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.
