jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A female driver was transported to hospital with serious injuries after her vehicle flipped over in front of a house on Belleview Drive in Kanata last night, Aug. 11.

Ottawa firefighters extricated the 34-year-old

woman from her car as it was “resting upside down” near the front steps of a home at 45 Belleview Dr. in Katimavik.

The call for the single car crash came in around 9:10 p.m. It took firefighters 13 minutes to extricate the woman.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning people who bought infant formula at a Kanata Walmart to check the product for tampering.

The agency issued the advisory on Aug. 11 after the store reported that Friends of the Central packaged formula had been Experimental Farm substituted with another product.

“This type of issue is not typically associated with

the manufacturing process but can occur occasionally when a consumer returns altered products to the retail store for a refund,” said the food inspection agency in a news release.

The outer container appeared intact but the formula inside had been swapped, said the agency.

“Consumers using infant formulas should examine the packaging material to ensure that the security seal is intact and has not been altered or the product substituted,” said the CFIA. There has been no illnesses linked to the complaint, said the agency.

The food inspection agency did not release the brand name of the formula

and said the investigation had been turned over to police.

“From what I understand, just the one (case had been reported),” said Denis Schryburt, spokesperson for the CFIA. “Whenever there’s something like this the local police or RCMP will take on the investigation.”

Ottawa police wouldn't confirm or deny if they are investigating potential tampering and that details are only divulged if a charge is laid.

The food inspection agency warned people not de la Ferme toAmis consume or use products expérimentale centrale that appear to be altered, and to contact local police or the CFIA if suspected tampering has occurred.

A single car crash sends a female driver to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries on Aug. 11 just after 9 p.m. The vehicle, which landed near the porch steps of a house on Belleview Drive in Katimavik, appeared to have hit a deep ditch on the side of the road, said John Hansen, who lives on the street.

Not the first vehicle to leave the road in area: neighbour Continued from page 1

She had “serious injuries but not life threatening” when she was transported to hospital, said Ottawa police Const. Chuck Benoit.

No charges had been laid as of Friday morning, said Benoit.

Asked if alcohol could have been a factor in the crash, Benoit said it’s a pos-

sibility in any collision but no conclusions had been confirmed.

No further details were available and the collision remains under investigation.

HAPPENS EVERY FEW YEARS

John Hansen, federal NDP candidate in the 2015 election, lives on Belleview and saw the aftermath of the

collision. He posted photos on Twitter of the crash.

Hansen said this isn’t the first time a car has left the road along the street.

“It happens every few years,” he said in an email exchange.

“We had a parked car hit in our driveway when a car went into the ditch – driver fled the scene.”

Usually, there is just lawn

damage when people drift off the road, he said, adding it often happens late at night.

“This was the most spectacular,” he said.

The photos show the car upside down against the porch railing of the house.

On the lawn is a sign calling on drivers to slow down.

The house is located on a straight stretch of road on Belleview Drive.

Wildlife refuge to host open farm Summer camp junior leaders to host tours, share what they’ve learned

The Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge has summer students working to rehabilitate wildlife thanks to federal funding. Post-secondary students Cassandra Uniacke, who is studying animal biology, and Lisa Charity, in a vetrinary tech program, are learning skills related to their schooling while taking care of a baby squirrel and baby bunny, as well as the other wildlife currently in the care of the refuge.

Thanks to federal funding, Rowe was able to hire five post-secondary summer students: three to work with the wildlife and two to facilitate the three-week summer camps and drop-in day program.

The summer camp is now in its fifth year and offers children and youth a taste of farm life.

Each day is centred around a specific topic – small animal care, pigs and goats, guard animals (donkeys and alpacas), horse and pony care, and how to be a friend to wildlife.

“We give kids lots of wild time and hands on experience with the animals,” said Rowe.

She also offers a drop-in day program for children “to have a farm camp experience.” The camp wraps up this week but the dropin program is available until the end of summer.

If you’ve ever wondered how a wildlife and farm animal sanctuary operates, you’ll want to attend the open farm at the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge on Sunday, Aug. 28.

It’s a chance for people to see the inner workings of the operation, learn about what the centre does and meet some of the farm animals, said owner and founder Lynne Rowe.

It’s also an opportunity for the refuge’s junior leaders to share what they’ve learned over a three-week summer camp.

“The open farm is a chance for our junior leaders to shine,” said Rowe, adding the older campers will be facilitating tours throughout the day.

The junior leaders – who range in age from 10 to 14 – are repeat campers who have attended the summer group for multiple

years. They help instruct the younger attendees and are training to take over as camp counsellors.

“I like being with the kids and the animals; there’s no other place really like this,” said Kanata’s Olivia Connick, 13.

Mae Kaya, 12, of Westboro, started her own informal group that she calls “Educate” after attending summer camp.

Mae regularly speaks about the work being done at the refuge, as well as the Ottawa Humane Society and the Centre for Great Apes. She also uses her knowledge to raise awareness about the dangers of puppy mills and declawing cats.

“It’s child-run,” she said of her group. “I use the skills I learned here to educate (others).”

She’s planning to share her information during the open farm, she said.

The event runs on Aug. 28 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Narrow bridge serves no purpose To the editor,

Re: “March Road, train bridge most dangerous to cyclists: report,” Aug. 4 I very much appreciate Jessica Cunha’s report about the great danger to commuter cyclists in Kanata at the narrow train bridge near 3701 Carling Ave. It has also been a danger to cars for a very long time.

The son of my next door

neighbour in Ottawa died when he drove into the cement wall years ago.

On Sept.8, 2015 and Feb. 18, 2016, I contacted CN Rail asking that the bridge be removed. I also faxed photos to show how narrow the passageway is. As the railway tracks and the places where the tracks used to cross roadways have been removed, there is no need for that

bridge.

The reply that I received was that “bridges will not be removed in the foreseeable future.”

If that unused bridge was removed, a safe route for those biking could be made by widening Carling Avenue at that spot.

Good and honest To the editor,

We recently donated a bag of old sewing fabric to the Running Stitch on Hazeldean Road.

Imagine our shock when they called to say that they had found a large sum of money wrapped up in a baggie amongst the fabric. We had hidden it many years ago and forgotten about it.

With all the troubles in the world it was so nice to be reminded that most people are good and honest, like Kathy at the Running Stitch who found and returned our money!

Active, unique child thrives most in summer

I

have three kids. Most of the time, two of them are easy.

Most of the time, one of them is difficult. Really, really difficult.

But he’s been easy lately.

“What is it?” I ask.

“I feel less enclosed,” he answered. He’s 10.

Less enclosed.

I ask him to elaborate. He notes that, although he’s a top student, he hates sitting indoors.

Although he can be still, he feels his entire body rebelling against him. Although he can appreciate a lack of light, he doesn’t like being in a dark room with a projectionoriented smart board. And while he’s an amazing and intuitive writer, putting pen to paper makes him feel like “a stranger in my own body.”

That must really suck.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse So here’s this kid. Ten years old.

For 10 months of the year, we can hardly handle him. Seriously – this is an admission of my parental failure. His outbursts, his tension, his emotions are altogether too much for me. I call the doctor; I get little response.

And then we send him to summer camp. And he’s a different kid. He’s a better kid. He’s himself.

Every time I want to get him diagnosed with something, he becomes normal. Every time I get to the point where maybe we’ll get a

consult with a specialist, he is just this regular, happy kid. A kid who is a good coach to young kids, a kid who laughs and has good fun, a kid who is very athletically talented.

What’s up?

I’ll tell you what’s up. He spends his summers exercising. He grows a couple of inches every July. He’s playing soccer; he’s swimming, he’s zip-lining; he comes home every night “good tired.”

And then, he’ll read a 300-page novel in his down time. This is not about attention span.

When we’re camping, he can run and cycle all day long. In the evenings, he’s investigating rocks and insects and talking about global affairs. He can read books to his sister, who is six years younger, and still engage in a progressive oral story by the fire.

There are more than 330 provincial parks in Ontario, perfect for fun and healthy activities.

Ontario Parks supports the link between a healthy environment and healthy society through Healthy Parks, Healthy People and the 30x30 Challenge.

The Healthy Parks Healthy People movement evolved from the international Health Parks, Healthy People Congress in 2010. Its goal is to maintain global momentum towards better understanding the links between nature and human health.

And then we send him to summer camp. And he’s a different kid. He’s a better kid. He’s himself. more questions than answers at this point. What I do know is that I often wish summer could last forever.

MOTORCOACH HOLIDAYS

Ontario launches nature challenge The Ontario government and Ontario Parks are challenging people across the province to spend more time in nature and develop new healthy habits.

Inspired by the David Suzuki Foundation’s 30x30 Challenge, the Ontario Parks 30x30 Nature Challenge encourages people to spend at least 30 minutes per day in nature for 30 days. This year’s challenge begins in August.

Spending time outside each day will help to form a beneficial new habit that supports a healthy lifestyle.

Research shows that interacting with nature is good for both physical and mental health, from reducing stress and strengthening the immune system to reducing the risk of certain types of cancer and lowering blood pressure.

The 30x30 Nature Challenge doesn’t have to take a lot of time and planning. Nature isn’t that far away— there are provincial parks all across Ontario. But it’s also right in your backyard. Green space can be as close as your neighbourhood park or garden. You can check out local trails and beaches, too – they may even lie along your daily route.

If you’re looking for a change of scenery, the Ontario Parks locator tool makes it easy to find a provincial park nearby. Enjoy hiking, biking, paddling and lots of outdoor programmes.

In the summer, he wakes up and makes a big, protein and carbpacked breakfast. He embraces the day, he’s ready to wear his body right out. And he does. All day long.

But soon, the school year will start. It will require waking early to sit on the school bus, then he’ll prepare to sit some more in a dark room. He’ll come home angry and over-tired, yet underutilized.

The tantrums will start. Mom’s concerns about psychotherapy will re-emerge. I can’t get him to move at the end of the day. His body has already shut down.

Every single drop of water counts

H

ere in Ottawa, we are lucky to live next to the Ottawa River; a massive source of water. And we are equally lucky that our city has managed the resource and its distribution carefully.

The Ottawa River is clean enough to swim in, for the most part. The river water runs through filtration plants and pipes that deliver a perfectly clean product to all but the rural homes in the city.

In much of the world, clean drinkable water is not a given. It takes time to haul and may take time to boil until potable. Here we simple turn the tap.

It’s something we take for granted. But a short drive away, equipment problems and weather conditions have quickly turned water into a question mark.

The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority declared a severe drought condition for several sub watersheds of the Mississippi River last week.

Given the recent heatwave and limited rainfall, it’s no surprise. The question is – with climate change upon us – how many more droughts will turn arable land and productive wells into unusable or less productive land? The Town of Arnprior saw water shut off last week because of a loss of pressure in

the town’s pipes. Residents couldn’t even bathe in the water. Flushing a toilet was OK. Bottled water was handed out. It shows just how key water is to our existence. Turn off the taps and our world will change dramatically in a matter of minutes.

Ninety per cent of Ottawa’s population lives on just 10 per cent of the city’s arable land.

Rural Ottawa relies on wells and septic tanks to exist and for them a power failure has up until now been the biggest threat. No electricity means no water pump bringing that ice-cold water up from your well. But the rural water supply is starting to show a few signs of distress.

On Aug. 12, with little or no rain in sight, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, based in Manotick, issued a press release stating that the Rideau River Watershed was now in the severe drought category. The decision was based on the 30day precipitation indicator they use.

Once rural water supplies are affected by a lack of rain or ground surface water starts to decline, rural residents will be in trouble.

We take it for granted, but it’s surely time to reassess our seemingly easy access to good water.

Take the fun leave the phone at home

I

never understood what Pokémon was all about way back in 1995 when it was just a bunch of mysterious cards that kids collected.

Now, it has become something you do with your phone and I understand it even less. I’ve decided it’s not worth the trouble to learn, which is the kind of decision you have the luxury of making when you get older.

Fortunately you don’t have to understand the whys and wherefores of the game to be fascinated by the social consequences of whatever it is the players are doing.

The news media are full of reports about bizarre gatherings of people in unlikely places. Each day brings new tales of people behaving irrationally in pursuit of whatever it is, endangering themselves and others.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town To hear the media tell it, people are walking into traffic, falling off cliffs and into bodies of water, all the while looking for Pokémon thingies on their phones.

While you can usually discount such tales of horror by half, the sort of people who regularly become alarmed by new forms of behaviour are alarmed and ready to testify to the media about how alarmed they are.

Given the fact that there are genuinely alarming things going on in the world, the Pokémon Go disturbance is a pretty good example of a First World problem.

But that doesn’t stop people from demanding that something be done.

Communities are getting nervous.

Too many people are showing up at places such as Toronto’s ferry terminal or day-care centres in New Hampshire.

They are driving erratically around Toronto suburbs in the middle of the night.

Toddlers, it is claimed, have been abandoned and the Israeli army has expressed concern about security implications.

I’m reminded of the time, in 1981, when an Ottawa daily newspaper ran a promotion involving hiding a gold bar and printing clues as to its whereabouts.

People being people, misinterpretations were made and folks began digging in odd places, such as the Regional Detention Centre.

Eventually, the story goes, city police let the paper know that it would be good if the gold was found quickly, and it was.

While some cities are attempting to cash in on Pokémon Go’s popularity to attract visitors, Toronto has asked that the game’s developers move whatever it is away from the ferry terminal.

This, in turn, has dismayed the game’s devotees, who fear a crackdown. What some of them said is interesting. “It actually brings people together,” one woman told the Toronto Star.

“The normal games that you usually have in your phone … encourage kids to stay indoors.

This is the first game that brought people out.”

That’s a good point when you think about it, and maybe people have been too quick to condemn something they don’t completely understand.

‘One size doesn’t fit all’ for LRT: community association pres Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city wants your input.

City staff and consultants kicked off a round of public meetings asking for opinions on community connections to Stage 2 light rail stations in the west end.

At the Aug. 10 meeting at Algonquin College, residents were asked to evaluate plans for connections to the future Iris and Baseline stations.

At the consultations, residents were given maps and asked to evaluate the area up to 600 metres from the station.

But Ron Benn, president of the Centrepointe Community Association, says at the Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre, 600 metres would only take you into the grass around the mall.

“One size doesn’t fit all in clothes or for transit stations,” he said, adding that he was pleased with the idea around public consultations.

“I am glad it’s happening now for something that’s meant to be built in 2023, rather than an hour-and-ahalf after the concrete’s dry,” he said.

Coun. Keith Egli was at the meeting as both a local councillor and transportation committee chair.

Egli said the initiative was really meant to draw out ideas.

“We’ve got maps and you can draw on them with crayon; we want to hear how you get to transit stations,” Egli said.

In practical terms, that means looking at potential routes for multi-use pathways and lighting, crosswalks and cycling facilities.

At the All Saints Lutheran Church on Pinecrest Road on Aug. 9, staff heard from residents who are concerned about how they will get in and out of their community once construction starts.

Egli said the concern will be taken into account.

That consultation looked at connectivity for Queensview, Pinecrest and Bayshore stations.

But College Coun. Rick Chiarelli was worried about the fate of the park-and-ride

A map of the Baseline and Iris Stations, with suggested links for pedestrians and cyclists that was presented at the Aug. 10 Algonquin College public consultation. beside Baseline station.

The look of the station has already changed as it was shifted to accommodate a new Algonquin College building.

As the underground tracks for light rail are completed, the station will shift and part of the park-and-ride will be redesigned to make room for waiting buses.

But the public parking lot is currently packed to capacity most days, Benn said, adding city employees and Algonquin College students and staff take up the bulk of the parking spaces.

Chiarelli, who is working with area residents on a community design plan, put forward a motion this spring to exempt the area from the city’s new parking minimums bylaw. He is worried that not enough attention is being paid to people who access the station by car.

“I think cyclists have kind of taken over the consultations,” he said.

But Egli said people could come in from areas like Barrhaven on feeder buses.

“That’s the point of the hub-and-spoke system,” he said.

There’s no guarantee that local buses will increase in frequency, Colleen Connelly, manager of service planning for OC Transpo said in an email. That means many commuters may still want to drive to park-and-ride lots such as the one at Baseline Station.

Even though the first phase of LRT will take 80 per cent of buses out of the downtown

core with the opening of the Confederation Line, Connelly said those buses won’t be going out to communities like Barrhaven.

“When the Confederation Line opens in 2018, bus routes that have operated on the Transitway between Blair and Tunney’s Pasture stations and through downtown, will be replaced with very high-frequency train service,” she said.

“Many routes will connect to the Confederation Line at Blair Station to the east, Tunney’s Pasture station in the west, and St Laurent and Hurdman stations in central part of the transit system. As a result, the volume of buses in the downtown core will be significantly reduced, and bus routes in Ottawa’s communities will be realigned to connect with O-Train stations.

The level of service connection to the Confederation line will be similar to today.”

SNOW CLEARING

Benn said one of the things missing from the plans is the clearing of snow off the new paths and/or cycling routes.

He said a lot of the existing pathways around Ben Franklin Place turn into lakes in March because the snow banks on either side start to melt.

“That means you have to avoid the area and it adds time onto your walk,” he said.

The city will continue to consult with residents in the areas where the new stations will operate.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review We have had questions from residents regarding on street parking restrictions and options available to address the issue in some areas of Kanata South. I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with information on the various options available.

On street parking becomes an issue for residents when homeowners do not have enough parking on their property to accommodate multiple vehicles.

Sometimes it is a temporary issue for a special occasion or sometimes it is because they may have too many cars for their garage and/or driveway. Why this becomes a community issue and a trigger for visits from Parking Control Officers is the vehicles on the public roadway can restrict cars moving on the road, prevent garbage trucks, school buses, delivery trucks or even emergency vehicles from getting to homes elsewhere on the street.

One option available is that a property owner is permitted to extend the width of their driveway a maximum of 1.8 meters, including a walkway, to accommodate for additional parking. This is to ensure each homeowner has the capacity to store snow on their property in the winter, that your street is not one continuous driveway preventing safe pedestrian use and to help move the storm water away from your basements by using curbs and grading of the road. There are certain conditions that must be adhered to, so before you begin, please visit the city’s website for full details.

If you plan to create, widen or close your driveway, you need to apply for a Private Approach Permit. By-law 2003-447 regulates the use of private approaches. A private approach refers to the driveway portion on the City right-of-way, or more technically, “an improved surface and where required a culvert within a highway and used by the owner or occupant of a private approach adjacent to the highway for vehicular access”.

Private Approach Permit Applications are available at any Client Service Centre.

Another option that has been used successfully in our community and across the city is the petition process.

Changes to any parking regulations must be circulated through a formal petition process so that every resident on the street knows about the proposed change. The Traffic Department can review the roadway and work with the resident who is inquiring to draft proposed changes that are desired, however, this will require a resident with an address on the street to circulate the petition with neighbours and obtain 66% concurrence through the form of signatures.

If you or any of your neighbours would like to learn additional information about changing the on-street parking regulations for your street, please do not hesitate to advise and my office would be happy to connect you with the Traffic Assessment Specialist to discuss in further detail.

Upcoming Events August 21st: Hazardous Waste Depot, Kanata Research Park, 411 Legget Drive. Depot hours are 8am-4pm.

The Ottawa Humane Society says six other affiliate groups under the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have offered to support legal action it is taking against the OSPCA in order to restore its policing rights. As a result, it has decided to drop a former emergency injunction request in favour of a more thorough hearing.

Humane societies join forces to fight OSPCA decision in court Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

The Ottawa Humane Society could be without its policing powers at least until October, when it plans to makes its case against a Ontario Society for the Protection of Animals decision in court.

The OHS was scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 8 to seek an emergency injunction against the OSPCA, which stripped the OHS of its policing powers.

Seeking such an injunction was to temporarily restore the OHS’s power to investigate cases of animal cruelty after the OSPCA suspended its policing powers on July 18. OHS executive director Bruce Roney said the suspension resulted from a governance dispute that began in in June

2015.

However, after gaining support from six other humane societies in Ontario, the Ottawa society has dropped its application for an emergency injunction against the OSPCA in favour of a more thorough hearing in October.

“It’s the bigger picture of which our suspension formed a smaller part,” Roney said about the change of plans.

The group, with support from other humane societies, has filed an application for a hearing to override a new OSPCA bylaw that Roney said strips the voting rights of the Ontario SPCA’s affiliate societies.

That application also asks for a return of the OHS’s policing powers and an expedited hearing.

Roney said he hopes a longer hearing,

compared to an emergency injunction, will allow the OHS to make a stronger case before the court, and potentially result in clearer outcome in favour of the OHS and other affiliate societies.

“The best outcome if we’d gone for the short term (injunction) would be, ‘We’ll just put Ottawa’s investigation authority back until we hear the whole thing.’ So essentially we would have had to go (to court) twice,” Roney said.

“We really felt that it was important that we had partners who were both supportive and helping pay, and we want to go once and have the whole thing heard.”

According to Roney, humane societies in London, Windsor, Oakville, KichenerWaterloo, Cambridge and HamiltonBurlington will split the cost of the legal proceedings with the OHS. In a statement, the OSPCA said it considers its actions in the dispute necessary and said details of those actions and the logic behind them would be “made clear in due time.”

“It is unfortunate that we are in the position of having to respond in court to the Ottawa Humane Society’s most recent set of issues,” the OSPCA statement reads.

“We would like to assure the donors of the Ottawa Humane Society that we will endeavour to conclude the matter quickly so that their donations can be focused on the care and protection of animals rather than lawsuits.”

For now, anyone with concerns about the welfare of an animal is encouraged to contact the OSPCA.

Kanata dog celebrates 19th birthday Owners to submit records to Guinness World Records Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Likely one of the oldest living dog in Kanata – and quite possibly one of the most senior living canines in the world – celebrated his 19th birthday on Aug. 10.

The family originally thought their pooch was celebrating his 20th year, but found an error on his Canadian veterinary records.

Floquinho (pronounced flockeen-io) was born in Brazil on Aug. 10, 1997, making him about 133 years old in human years.

The toy poodle’s name in English translates to Little Snowflake, said his human mom Fatima Machado.

When the family located Floquinho’s original birth and vaccination files from Brazil to submit to Guinness World Records, Machado said they discovered the mistake.

She was planning to submit his birth and vaccine records to Guinness following Floquinho’s 20th birthday to see where he stands on the list of verified oldest living dogs.

An Australian cattle-dog named Bluey holds the world record for oldest dog, having lived for 29 years, five months, according to online records on Guinness World Records. A list of oldest dogs, on Wikipedia, names 20 dogs that lived more than two decades.

“We will submit the documents anyways, just to see what they respond,” said Machado.

Three dogs older than 19 but younger than 20 were also listed.

Machado remembers the day Floquinho joined her family. She

and her husband Wilson went to a local vet to pick out a dog for their daughter Ana’s sixth birthday.

“I picked him up and held him and he was really calm and quiet and I said, ‘Yeah, it’s you,’” said Machado. “When she saw (her gift) was a little dog she was so happy.”

There was no question about leaving him in Brazil when the family immigrated to Canada in 2001.

Floquinho was five years old when he made the trip.

“He loved the snow,” said Machado, adding he was an active dog always looking to play. Now he prefers naps to chasing balls.

Floquinho has been given a clean bill of health with no disease from his veterinarian, she said, adding he does have tremors due to his age and his back legs are weak.

“The most important (thing) is to have him healthy,” Machado said, adding she is sometimes asked if the dog is suffering.

To that she says, “Sometimes we see he has some pain in the legs. I’d prefer God takes him in a natural way so I don’t have to decide his fate.”

Her husband Wilson made him a walking contraption that helps him move about, and a makeshift bench allows him to sit while he eats.

“He loves that dog,” said Machado, adding the family will not own another canine. “It’s hard when you get attached – each one has their own personality, their own traits. They’re not replaceable.”

Floquinho no longer goes on walks but Machado carries him into the family’s backyard in Kanata Lakes to sit in the garden. He often gets up three to four times a night, so she will sleep on the couch to be near him.

“We try to give him the best quality of life,” she said, adding she credits his long life to “a lot of care, patience, love, cleanliness and attention."

Barrhaven’s Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson failed to advance past the semifinals in Rio. The swimmer competed in the 200-metre individual medley and advanced into the semifinals, one of the goals she set for herself in Rio. She failed to move past the semifinals though, swimming the distance in 2:12:25.

Katinka Hosszú of Hungary was the eventual gold medal winner with a 2:06:68 Olympic record time in the

finals.

“I’ve been hitting a lot of my bests. In workouts I’ve been a lot more focused and a lot more driven,” she told Metroland Media prior to leaving for Rio. “I want to see my hard work pay off and benefit from it. So my goal is to get a best time, and if I do, then I think I have a decent chance of making the semifinals. Obviously the ultimate goal would be to make the actual final too, that would be amazing.”

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Three tips to boost your child’s school success Though your kids may not want to hear it, a new school year is about to begin.

Here are three ways you can contribute to their school success, from elementary to post-secondary.

Actively participate in your child’s education: “Research shows that parental involvement leads to higher student achievement and success,” says Akela Peoples, president and CEO of The Learning Partnership, a national charitable organization dedicated to advancing publicly funded education.

“Parents should monitor their child’s progress, provide a structured routine, attend school meetings and events, and SUBMITTED encourage their children by telling them they can be successful.” Ensure your child has access to help: “We all need help, but often shy away from asking The students at St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy had an exciting year, winning major math for it,” says Roshaan Hajira, a member awards, taking part in several environmental and social action initiatives, and generally excelling in of the alumni advisory committee of many areas.

Youth action promoted

“Look for opportunities in your community that offer things like workshops for learning, personal and professional development and new skills to help you succeed in and out of school. My top back to school tip: don’t be afraid to ask for help.”

Make sure your child has a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP): “Having an RESP is a great way to encourage your child to continue their education and can help you prepare for the cost down the road,” says May Wong, executive director of the nonprofit SmartSAVER. “With an RESP you get access to available government grants and can grow your savings tax-free.

There’s a wide selection of providers and different types of RESPs to choose from, including accounts you can start with no fees and no minimum contribution.”

Cheryl Hyndman, a long-time teacher at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, shows off the top athlete trophy named in her honour and the Peter Lake Award she was presented with at the end of the school year. Hyndman is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA).

New athletic co-ordinator named for west-end schools

Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Long-time A.Y. Jackson Secondary School physical education teacher and athletic director Cheryl Hyndman had her own graduation of sorts at the end of June.

The 18-year veteran of the Kanata high school – 30 years altogether with the school board – is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association.

“It’s a good transition for me into retirement and I’ll still have that connection to the school,” said Hyndman, who will be responsible for all high-school sports in the west end of the city.

Her coverage area includes schools in Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Stittsville and West Carleton in the four boards (English and French public and Catholic) as well as private schools.

“I’m very fortunate. I have a job I absolutely love. I learn something new every single day,” said the Bridlewood resident. “For me it’s about the kids.”

Hyndman’s name will live on at A.Y. after students had the top-athlete award renamed in her honour.

She was surprised with the trophy at the school’s end-of-year banquet.

“The whole event, I was just in tears the entire time,” said Hyndman. “It was the kids’ idea. It’s cool; you walk past the trophy case and there it is.”

She was also presented with the Peter Lake Sportsmanship Award – usually reserved for students – for outstanding leadership, sportsmanship and unselfishness at the end-of-year banquet.

The award was also presented to student Destiny Scheel.

The Cheryl Hyndman Athlete of the Year Award was presented to four students: se-

niors Thao Dao and Ian Tracy, and juniors Emily Zhao and Tyler Hendrycks.

Known as the “school mom,” Hyndman has been integral in helping athletes thrive and keeping the student body active. She’s led numerous sports teams to OFSSAA – the provincial finals and championships for high school students – but for her the main goal was always to have fun and be active.

“A hundred per cent effort is more important than how good you are,” she said. “I just want them to come and have fun.”

Hyndman was described by a number of her co-workers as welcoming, positive, organized and passionate.

“She pushes the students but also realizes they’re kids. A lot of them refer to her as the school mom – that wouldn’t happen unless they knew she cared about them,” said Cindy Arnott, who’s worked at A.Y. for 25 years.

“Cheryl has benefitted our school through her unwavering commitment to our students and staff. Her positive attitude and seemingly endless energy have allowed her to be involved in too many activities and initiatives to list,” said physical education teacher Chris Layer, who’s worked with Hyndman for 21 years.

“Her open door policy makes the phys ed department a safe space for so many students.

Her office is always filled with students coming to say hi or looking for advice … They know Cheryl is always there for them when they need it,” said dance teacher Katie Hill.

“Cheryl is the heart of AYJ. The school will be a very different place without Ms. Hyndman in the hallway. We are so proud of her but will miss her dearly.”

Hyndman said the move is bittersweet.

She’ll miss teaching, but as the athletic coordinator she’ll still be able to visit the school and attend A.Y.’s games.

“It’s a really nice community school,” she said. “For a small school we have a big punch.”

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Is your child a perfectionist?

Being a perfectionist can be a good thing, but only if it the tendency is kept within reasonable limits.

If not, this character trait can become unhealthy and cause a lot of imbalance in a child’s life.

How can parents judge if their child’s search for perfection is excessive?

How can they help him or her to better manage it?

The following advice may be of use.

Sure, we try to teach our children that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

But that doesn’t mean everything has to be perfect.

Perfectionism is harmful to our well-being when it results in additional stress.

The constant dissatisfaction of striving for unattainable goals results in a frantic pace and constant self-doubt.

If you notice this kind of attitude in your children, take action right away in order to help them regain their self-esteem. They

must not be allowed to sink further into the vicious circle of perfectionism.

Be a role model for your children in their progress towards a healthy attitude regarding effort and making mistakes.

The help of a psychologist may also be appropriate.

The ideal time to do homework is as soon as kids get home from school, after a healthy snack.

SOME SOLUTIONS

The best method to follow is to ease back one step at a time.

Help your child find a way to change one behaviour at a time and gradually relax the rigid rules she has imposed on herself.

Over time, she will understand that not all situations require the same degree of perfection and that her loved ones do not require it either.

She will learn to set achievable goals and take pleasure in attaining them, without worrying exclusively about succeeding.

Teach her that making mistakes is a part of life and a part of learning.

Five tricks to make homework easier The start of a new school year also means the return of homework.

Here are five tricks to keep this daily chore from becoming a source of conflict between kids and parents.

1.

Establish a routine. Homework should be done at a set time to avoid negotiations and instill selfdiscipline in kids.

The ideal time is as soon as they get home from school, after a snack.

2.

Start with the most difficult tasks.

It’s better to start with what kids like the least or the subject they find

most difficult; after a day at school, kids are already tired of concentrating and will be less and less attentive as the minutes go by. This will also allow them to finish their homework on a positive note.

3.

Have everything close at hand.

Make sure they’re outfitted with a pencil case containing sharpened pencils, pencil sharpener, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a compass, and anything else that is needed.

This will cut short the imaginative ways kids can delay starting

their homework.

4.

Take a break. Primary school-age kids are bound to lose concentration after about 20 minutes.

When you notice that happening, give them a short break of a predetermined duration.

5.

Create motivation.

If the kids have a hard time sitting still, get them to spell words while throwing a ball in the air or going up and down stairs.

Or promise to play with them for 15 minutes as soon as they’ve finished their homework.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION How to live with your teenager’s latest look for back to school The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes.

When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties.

Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters.

Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look. If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match? Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and leave the door open for other compromises. After all, who’s never upset their parents with some unconventional clothing?

Are you done with boring lunches?

Have you run out of ideas for varying the contents of the kids’ lunch boxes? Are they complaining about always eating the same old thing? Freshen up your lunch-box menu with these brilliant ideas.

You can put your children’s favourite leftovers in an insulated container or a microwaveable dish. You could also cook larger quantities in the evening and use the leftovers as the basis for different dishes. Cut strips of chuck roast eaten in the evening to add to an Asian pasta salad; make chicken fried rice with the remains of a roasted chicken. Even eaten

cold, these dishes help beat the monotony of the usual fare.

For sandwiches, forget sliced white bread; it contains little nutrition and can get boring. Opt for whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas. Fill the sandwich with home cooked meats cut into strips, or use hummus, tofu mix, cheese, or tuna — all are healthy and delicious replacements for cold cuts. Condiments don’t have to be the traditional mustard and mayonnaise. Why not try ranch dressing, pesto, or guacamole for a change? The fruits and vegetables food group also benefits from a bit of variety.

Adolescence is a period of self-affirmation. When it comes to your teenager’s sense of style, try to be as flexible as your values will let you.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school.

Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge.

Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation.

Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti.

Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an

undesirable nature.

Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone.

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, and nightmares.

Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school.

In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide.

No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying.

Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800668-6868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

Sleep, an important element to success Do your teenagers sleep a lot? Good! In order to be fit and able to absorb lots of new information, adolescents should get between nine and ten hours of sleep a day. If your teens have a tendency to go to bed around midnight and then get up at seven in the morning to go to school, they’re probably suffering from chronic lack of sleep. Sleeping in till noon on Saturday won’t help them recover.

During adolescence, hormonal changes affect sleep. Melatonin and cortisol, two hormones that regulate sleeping and waking, can undergo abrupt changes in level. On top of that, many teenagers neglect their sleep because of a busy schedule.

A young person who doesn’t get enough

sleep will have trouble getting up in the morning and may lack concentration or be drowsy, dizzy, nervous, irritable and depressed. A chronic lack of sleep reduces a person’s learning and memory skills and can have a negative impact on school grades. To restore a normal sleep cycle that will improve their academic performance, encourage your teenagers to adopt the following good habits: • Go to bed and get up every day at the same time.

• Turn off all screens (including cell phones) at least one hour before going to bed.

• Establish a relaxing bedtime routine; try a glass of warm milk, a warm bath and listening to soft music.

Encourage your teenagers to find out about various study programs without putting any pressure on them.

Career choices: try not to worry By the time they graduate from high school, your teenagers are expected to have made certain choices about their future careers.

What do they want to do in life?

If you feel your children are undecided or unmotivated, or if they refuse to talk about it, don’t be discouraged just yet.

There are many different ways you can help your children through this process.

First of all, take every possible opportunity to discuss their interests and skills.

Listen without judging and criticizing.

Go ahead and tell them you could picture them doing this or that profession, but don’t pressure them.

The important thing is to keep your teenagers thinking about the future.

Encourage them to see a career counsellor so they can explore their natural talents

and learn about the different programs of study open to them.

Remember that it’s never too late to decide on a career.

In fact, more and more students are choosing their professions after they reach adulthood and after trying various jobs.

Through all their explorations, young people discover their own identity, assimilate all kinds of knowledge and accumulate valuable life experience.

Your children’s career paths may be very different from yours.

Keep in mind that it’s not uncommon to change careers once, twice or even more often nowadays.

In short, be patient when helping your teenagers in their career choices.

And remember, they need their parents’ support, even if they don’t show it openly.

Dance students dominate major U.S. competition Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Among 3,400 of the best young dancers in Canada, the United States and South Africa, China and Central America, 11 dancers from a Nepean dance school came out on top in two categories of the American Dance Awards this summer.

Dancers from the Canadian School of Dance captured first place in both the junior and senior group categories of the awards, held in New York City from July 10 to 16.

Their success set a new precedent both for the school, which has never had dancers place within the competition’s top six spots before, and for the competition, which has never seen one school win in both the senior and junior categories in the same year.

“Those six dances were the six highest scoring routines in the competition,” said Fran Coyle, co-owner of the Canadian School of Dance.

“And then from those six, we won first in both senior and junior. But to get that place, we had to be higher scoring than 1,700 other dancers.”

The junior group, made up of five dancers between the ages of 10 and 14, performed an original contemporary piece called Defeated.

The senior group, made up of seven dancers between the ages of 14 and 18, including one dancer from the junior group, performed a number called Broken Hearted.

Both winning numbers were arranged in November 2015 by Toronto-based choreographer Vlad Novitski.

Novitski worked with the students in Ottawa, teaching them the choreography last fall before the dance school’s regular staff, including owners and sisters Fran Coyle and Monica Adjeleian, took over training for the 2016 American Dance Awards.

“Vlad’s brilliant. He has a beautiful heartfelt knack for telling a story,” Coyle said, explaining that the groups’ success at the awards dependend on both outstanding choreography and disciplined dancing.

“Our dancers, we train really hard. I always say we go to the bar and we train. So when you put those two things together ...”

In addition to the hours each dancer

Some students from the junior and senior groups are not pictured. normally spends training, the two groups tacked on an extra seven to 10 hours each week learning the choreography for their respective pieces.

And each one started dancing at the age of four or five.

Therefore, Coyle said, their historical victory was well deserved.

“It’s the culmination of all that hard work,” Coyle said. “All that sticking to the program … all of that finally pays off.”

Novitski said he drew inspiration for the

two contemporary pieces, which combine elements from ballet and jazz, from real, natural human emotions.

“Just everyday human emotions,” he said. “This is what I do. I love choreo-

Dancers from across Ottawa clinch top spots at junior, senior levels Continued from page 21

Like many serious dancers from the school, senior dancer Maxine Adjeleian, 16, from Manotick, is a veteran of the American Dance Awards, having entered the competition before.

Despite having been through it all more than once, she said she was still struck by the number of dancers and the depth of talent there.

For 37 years, the inter-

national competition has attracted thousands of dancers with the prospect

“There were a lot of victories.”

Fran Coyle, School co-owner

of winning cash scholarships, earning special awards, and receiving valuable critiques from a panel of judges.

“The talent is crazy

there,” Adjeleian.

“There are so many people from around the world. It’s just a crazy experience to see how much talent there is in the dance world, and then to come out on top.”

In all, 110 dancers from across Ottawa competed with the Nepean school at this year’s American Dance Awards, and the school’s junior and se-

nior contemporary teams weren’t the only winners.

Its junior production dancers also placed first in their category.

“There were like 30 kids in that, so those 30 kids had victories there,” Coyle said of the junior production dancers.

“There were a lot of victories. There were those two huge wins but there were other victories.”

While police Chief Charles Bordeleau was cleared by the Ottawa civilian police commission, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof is still calling foul.

Bordeleau contacted the Provin-

The union is appealing the decision in divisional court.

Skof said the commission should have held off on their investigation until the court makes a decision about his standing. That decision could take up to a year, Skof said.

was incomplete because the officer who ticketed Thompson – Const.

Will Cantin – was never interviewed, Skof said.

But Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, police services board chair, said the officer was advised by the union not to participate but investigators were in possession of Cantin’s notes.

He said the investigation and subsequent decision should be made public.

Ani Asik, communications coordinator for office of the executive chair safety, licensing appeals and standards tribunals Ontario, said in an email that it would be inappropriate for the commission to make comment on the investigation because it was conducted under Section 25 of the Police Services Act and is not a public document. Asik added that since the police services board is the complainant in the matter, the deci-

sion to release the report is entirely at the board’s discretion.

The police services board released a portion of the decision, which said the withdrawal of the charges was a result of the fact that the civilian witness didn’t attend.

“The evidence supports a finding that Chief Bordeleau did not engage in misconduct. Chief Bordeleau did not attempt to use his position to influence the outcome of the Highway Traffic Act matter nor to communicate with the prosecutors,” the report reads. “The withdrawal of the charge happened because the civilian witness did not attend and there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. Withdrawal of a charge of this type in these circumstances was consistent with the practices adopted by the City of Ottawa in the prosecution of Highway Traffic Act offences.”

Grassroot Grannies ready to ride for African grandmothers NEWS

Connected to your community

Grassroot Grannies

Grannies cycle 265 km to AID African Grandmothers On Sept. 7, at 9 a.m., 23 Grassroot Grannies and friends will set off from the Bushtukah Store in Stittsville, to the cheers and encouragement of supporters on their 265-kilometre, twoand-half-day fundraising cycle, Ride To Turn the Tide.

Uppermost in the minds of the participants will be the knowledge that the donated funds will help African grandmothers raise their orphaned grandchildren.

These funds support the many community-based initiatives which have helped African women gain more control over their lives since the AIDS pandemic began approximately 10 years ago.

It’s hoped this year’s ride exceeds $50,000 in donations. As each participant pays their own expenses, monies raised go directly to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Over the past six years, the ride event has raised more than $265,000 for this cause.

The cyclists will travel through the communities of Almonte (Mississippi Grannies), Perth (Lanark County Grannies), Merrickville (United Church), Metcalfe (Grannies All About Kids) and back to Ottawa via a stop at the Riverside Grannies.

Nancy Hough, our co-ordinator, feels proud that “so many groups are united in a single cause.

Exceptional camaraderie exists not only among the cyclists and support, but also between the Grassroot Grannies and the grannies who host us along the way.”

Indeed, each year, the participants look forward to the warm welcome and wonderful hospitality provided by these groups.

Agnes McIvor agrees.

“We are fed and welcomed to delicious home cooked meals by four wonderful granny groups and a church group. I have signed up and am looking forward to another wonderful experience this year.”

On Sept. 9, the Grassroot Grannies and friends will return from their 265-km cycle. A “welcome home” will

submitted

The Grassroot Grannies will cycle 265 kilometres next month to raise funds for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. be held at the Bushtukah Store on Richmond Road in Westboro, starting at about 1:15 p.m.

The public is welcome to attend and share in the excitement of this “grassroots” initiative to improve the lives

of African women.

Hough reminds us that “small steps can make a big difference”.

Protestors call for an end to solitary confinement Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

“Prisons kill, kill prisons,” was one of the chants a group of protesters could be heard saying on a march to Parliament Hill on Aug. 10. The group march was part of a commemoration called Prisoners' Justice Day. Eddie Nalon, a Milhaven maximum-security penitentiary inmate died in segregation on Aug. 10 1974.

The next year, inmates held a memorial. In 1976 Milhaven prisoners called for a one-day hunger strike in opposition of solitary confinement. Since then the day has become recognized both within and outside prison walls.

The march in Ottawa started with a peace café at 25oneCommunity on Bank Street and headed to the headquarters of Correctional Services Canada before ending on the steps of Parliament Hill.

Dan Parlow, one of the organizers of the local event, has a unique perspective on the issue.

Having grown up in and out of foster homes, Parlow became a man in jail.

His first sentence was at 16 in a maximum-security facility.

Now a student in criminology at Carleton Univer-

sity, Parlow has turned his life around.

But he will be the first to tell you prisons don’t work when it comes to rehabiltation.

Instead of being rehabilitated, Parlow said he felt like he had gone to a university of crime.

He said he hopes to continue to “unlearn” some of the things he did in his tumultuous childhood.

As an aboriginal, Parlow was 10 times more likely to end up in jail than a nonaboriginal, according to a report entitled Aboriginal Offenders – a Critical Situation that was prepared for the corrections ombudsman Howard Sapers.

Some of the factors the report says cause that disparity are: • Effects of the residential school system.

• Experience in the child welfare or adoption system.

• Family or community history of suicide, substance abuse and/or victimization.

• Loss of, or struggle with cultural/spiritual identity.

• Lack for formal education.

• Poverty and poor living conditions.

• Exposure to/membership in, aboriginal street gangs.

The report also said

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Protestors start the walk from Bank Street to Correction Services Canada headquarters during Prisoners Justice Day on Aug. 10. that aboriginals represent 25.4 per cent of the inmate population, compared to making up four per cent of the overall Canadian population. Aboriginal women represent 36 per cent of female inmates.

System should work with, not against, people: advocates Continued from page 33

Parlow said now that he’s been getting an education, he’s returned to the culture that he missed out on because he’s spent so much time behind bars.

“Going to a men’s healing circle has helped me tremendously,” Parlow said.

When he finishes his undergrad degree, Parlow wants to get his doctorate and go on to teach criminology with an aboriginal

focus.

“I also want to be boots on the ground and be in the prisons showing people that there are other options,” he said.

NOT JUST ABORIGINAL ISSUES

The protestors came from all walks of life, and called for an end to the use of solitary confinement, an end to the use of force and the criminalization of politi-

cal dissidents, sex workers, LGBT and those with mental health issues.

In short, advocates want the system to work with people instead of against them.

Parlow said he wants to see more engagement with the community and more deterrent programs.

“We need to work on employment programs, relationships and education instead of sending people to jail,” he said.

City faces $215m lawsuit Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The bad blood between the taxi industry and the City of Ottawa is boiling over again, as a $215 million class-action lawsuit has been filed by key players in the local industry against the city.

The city plans to vigorously defend itself, city solicitor Rick O’Connor wrote in a memo sent out by the city’s media department.

The city had a duty to protect the market value of taxi plates and enforce the regulatory system that had been in place, says a statement of claim filed in Superior Court on Aug. 12.

Metro Taxi Ltd. – the parent company of Capital Taxi — and Marc André Way, vice-president of Coventry Connections, initiated the lawsuit.

Sarah O’Connor, executive assistant for Coventry Connections, wrote in an email that issue is now in the court and therefore Way is not commenting at this time.

The city approved new bylaw regulations on April 13 that paved the way for ride-sharing companies such as Uber to operate legally after a city

initiated review of tax and hired vehicle regulations.

The review was completed by consultant KPMG and included 70 recommendations – including creating a class of of cabs called private transportation companies for ride sharing services such as Uber.

At the time of that decision, taxi plate owner Tony Hajjar screamed in council chambers, “Do you know what the hell you’re doing? You’ve ruined the lives of 2,000 families.”

Hajjar said he paid $160,000 for his plate and had planned to retire on the proceeds from the sale of it.

He said he will have to keep working now that his taxi plate is, in his view, now worthless.

The statement of claim alleges the city’s cap on the number of plates created a market value for the plates.

O’Connor said in the memo that as part of the report with the taxi bylaw review, the prospect of a legal claim was considered at the time.

“Legal services remains confident in the validity of the new taxi regulatory scheme, as well as in its position that the city was not, and is not, under a legal obligation to provide financial compensation for any loss in the notional or street value of a

taxi license as a result of the changes in the taxi regulatory scheme,” the memo reads.

The city didn’t do enough to enforce the bylaws in place when Uber began operating in 2014, the lawsuit alleges.

“The city prosecuted a limited number of Uber’s drivers,” the claim reads. “The city did not take any steps to enforce the regulatory scheme against Uber.”

An email sent out by a city spokesperson back on May 19 said the city had laid a total of 234 charges against 110 individual UberX drivers under bylaw and regulatory services since Uber began operation in October of 2014.

Up to May 19, 71 drivers had plead guilty to 144 charges with fines totalling more than $52,000.

The majority of the fines were under the taxi bylaw for offences related to driving an unlicensed taxi, which is a $615 fine and the operation of unlicensed taxicabs, a $260 fine. Ottawa police had charged some of the drivers under the Highway Traffic Act. While the matter is before the courts, no one from the city will offer public comment on the case, O’Connor said.

OSU Force Academy is very pleased to announce that Isabella Hanisch has been selected for the U-15 Canadian National Team. They will represent Canada at the 2016 U15 CONCACAF Tournament.

The event is set to be held in Orlando, Florida from August 9-21. The 2016 U15 CONCACAF Tournament is the starting point for the U14-U17 National EXCEL program that will be building towards the 2018 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in Uruguay. Team Canada will face Venezuela, Costa Rica, Jamaica and El Salvador at the event.

The invitation for Isabella is especially exciting when you consider the fact that she is still an Under-14 (2002) player with our Force Academy team which competes within the OPDL. Players for this event were selected based on their long term potential to be a gold medal standard player within Canadian soccer.

“We are very proud and pleased with Isabella’s national team selection. Not only is she becoming a truly accomplished player, but just as important, an outstanding character on and off the field,“ stated club President Bill Michalopulos.

Isabella joined OSU at a very young age and has quickly progressed with her play within the Force Academy since U9. She is the oldest sibling of five soccer players within the club - and sets a great example and role model for young players within our club to aspire towards. “It is very pleasing to see a player who started with OSU when she was very young to be selected to the national team. In working with Bella over the past few years, her consistent effort, dedication and perseverance during difficult challenges is what has brought her to this level.

She continues to challenge herself to improve and is always receptive to learning and taking advice from her coaches,” noted club Technical Director Paul Harris.

Most recently, she captained Team Ontario at the 2016 Spring QuebecOntario series held in Toronto. Previous to this, in March of 2016 she also had the opportunity to train with Liverpool Ladies F.C. after being identified by Coach Jepson during her visit to Ottawa last year.

36 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 18, 2016

The Kanata Lasers Jr. A team is gearing up for an exciting new season, says head coach Jeff Jordan.

“There’s a lot of changes in play for the Jr. A team,” said Jordan, former assistant coach of the Ottawa 67’s.

“We believe we have a great core group of players.

“We’re really excited about their potential.”

Jordan and Adam Gibson, the former general manager of the Brockville Braves who was brought on board in November, have spent the summer months working on plans to reshape and rebuild the team, which plays in the Central Canada Hockey League 1.

“With the struggles of the organization in years past, it’s always fun to be a part

of organizational change,” said Jordan. “It’s going to be an exciting time turning this around.”

ELIMINATE TURNOVER

The Lasers first home game is Sept. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kanata Recreation Complex.

“I’d love to see the community supporting us,” said Jordan. “When they’re out there, they’ll see fun hockey.”

The team hasn’t qualified for playoffs since the 201011 season when the thenKanata Stallions lost in the quarter-finals.

The Jr. A team was originally known as the Kanata Valley Lasers and played home games at the Jack Charron Arena. The team became the Kanata Stallions following a change in ownership and a move to the Kana-

ta Recreation Complex.

A rebrand in 2014 saw the team name changed to the Kanata Lasers.

The goal this season is “to establish a team mentality as quick as we can and lay the foundation for success in years to come,” said Jordan.

“There’s been some struggles, different players and coaches coming in and out and my goal is to eliminate that turnover.”

The Lasers will also feature more local players, with only nine or 10 billeted spots being filled as opposed to the 15 out-of-town spaces last year, said Jordan.

Part of that is due to the changes in midget AAA hockey, which now sees most teams affiliated with a Jr. A team. Jordan is also head coach of the Kanata Lasers midget AAA. “It’s just that much better in preparing the guys in terms of that continuity aspect,” he said.

Creating a new standard to help paramedics in need 15 paramedics have killed themselves in Canada in the past year Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Paramedics are taking their own lives at an alarmingly high rate.

In the past year, according to the Paramedic Association of Canada, 15 paramedics have killed themselves.

That is a situation that the organization to change.

And now, thanks to $199,970 from the provincial government, a new health and safety standard for paramedics will be put in place to help reduce that number to zero.

“This standard will be specific to the paramedic community,” said Pierre Poirier, executive director of the Paramedic Association of Canada.

The money will be used to develop tools for paramedics to use in an effort to identify psychological hazards and possible control measures, increase awareness to help reduce stigma and harassment, increase the capacity of employers to promote the psychological health and wellness of paramedics.

The standard will also aim to prevent psychological harm from factors in the workplace. Poirier said compared to other first responders, paramedics can see multiple traumatic events in a single day, whereas firefighters or police officers might only see one or two.

“I’m not saying one is better than the other, it’s just a different standard,” Poirier said. “This will address what is unique to paramedics.”

The provincial government announced it would invest the money on Aug. 10 at the Beaver Barracks Paramedic Station.

“The message around mental health in the workplace is an important one,” Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa Centre MPP said, adding that paramedics help save lives daily and now it’s time to help keep them safe too. The money is part of the larger $1.9 million the province has invested from the Occupational Health and Safety Prevention and Innovation Program, in support for projects that aim to improve occupational health and safety for workers across the province.

This new standard for paramedics will differ from the current employment health and safety standards already in existence. Poirier said the goal is to have tools and resources for paramedics available to use within a year and once completed, the goal will be to promote the use of the tool kit and resources so paramedics in need know where to turn if they need support. The Canadian Standards Association is tasked with creating

new workplace safety standards for paramedics. Project manager Ron Meyers said the association is accepting applications from experts and others to form a committee to evaluate current best practices as well as what needs to be addressed to target specific needs.

Meyers said the committee aims to have individuals from across the country, from doctors and educators who have already worked on the current workplace safety standards, to paramedics themselves. Poirier said that when it comes to creating this standard, the first thing they plan to

do will be to reach out to the Tema Conter Memorial Trust, a support system that was created by a former Toronto paramedic, Vince Savoia, as a scholarship fund to help other paramedics. Savoia established the trust in response to his own battles with mental health after answering a 911 call related to the 1988 murder of Tema Conter. According to the trust, what first began as a scholarship is now a

resource for education and training as well as peer and psychological support resource for those who serve in Canadian public safety organizations.

“They are a valuable resource,” Poirier said.

Meyers said over the course of the development of the new standard, updates will be available on the Canadian Standards Association’s website, csagroup.org.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Q: My friends and I have an idea for a business we want to carry on.

Should we have a partnership agreement?

The mere carrying on of a business with a view to make a profit with one or more other person is sufficient to create a partnership in law.

A partnership in Ontario is governed by the Partnerships Act. The Partnerships Act sets out a framework that governs the relationship between the partners to each other, and the partners and the public, but allows the partners wide latitude to structure their relationship the way that they determine by agreement among the partners. Absent a partnership agreement, the default provisions of the Partnerships Act govern.

For example, under the default provisions of the Partnerships Act: all the partners are entitled to share equally in the capital and profits of the business, and must contribute equally towards the losses; no partner may be expelled by majority vote; any partner may determine (terminate) the partnership at will by notice to the other partners. There are many other default provisions, and many matters not addressed by the Partnerships Act, that may surprise the unwary.

About J. Robert Allan

Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

A Partnership Agreement allows the partners to determine what their rights and obligations are to each other. Typical provisions in a partnership agreement include obligations and entitlements for sharing profits (& losses) and capital, decision making, signing authority, admission and expulsion of partners, what happens in circumstances of partner incapacity, retirement or death and breakdown between the partners. Subject to certain provisions of the Partnerships Act that cannot be avoided, a partnership may be constructed as the partners desire, giving this form of business relationship extraordinary flexibility.

All partners of a partnership are jointly liable with each other for all debts of the partnership. A partnership has no separate legal existence from the partners and the partners do not enjoy limited liability as do shareholders of a corporation. While partnerships are useful in the right circumstances, it is prudent to determine before you start business if a partnership is the right business vehicle, and if it is, the advisability of a partnership agreement.

ADVERTORIAL

Helping to power the revolution in cancer research Written by: Andrea Douglas In 2008, the inaugural year ofTHE RIDE (formerly Ride the Rideau), Gary Milks joined his co-workers the Brick Peddlers from Merkley Supply and hopped on his bike for a 100km ride for this important cancer fundraiser.

It was tough going. A week before the ride he had injured his shoulder while playing hockey. By the 85 km mark, he couldn’t feel his arm. Massage personnel en route jumped in and helped alleviate some of the pain and he was able to finish – barely.

In year two, Gary decided to take a pass on the actual biking, but not on THE RIDE. Since then, he has been working as part of the weekend set up crew.The funny thing is this job is more work than actually riding.

But more than the pride of working on such an incredible event, for Gary, it’s about the personal stories of cancer all around him that drive his passion for volunteering forThe Ottawa Hospital.

That first year of the event, Gary had lost a neighbour, a young mother, to breast cancer. Pancreatic cancer claimed the life of a cherished aunt. And this past December, he lost eight family members to cancer.

“It touches everybody,” he says. And it’s why he volunteers faithfully.

Because he wants to give back and he wants to see this terrible disease beaten.

“The good thing physically about the bike ride is that after four or five hours you’re done,” he chuckles.

“But on the operations crew, the work starts by 6 am and doesn’t finish until 10 pm.”

Whether it’s driving the big trucks, or setting up and tearing down the course, or dropping off water and oranges at the feed stations, he gets a good feeling from being involved with the event.

As the IT manager for Merkley Supply, a proud sponsor ofTHE RIDE, Gary wouldn’t dream of missing this event. It’s the most successful one-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just six years, it’s raised more than $10 million for cancer research atThe Ottawa Hospital.

And was he disappointed when torrential rains meantThe Ride was called off last fall?

He says the Merkley office is covered with pictures and plaques of the Brick 38 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 18, 2016

Peddlers from year to year.

And that daily reminder of what this event can accomplish instills in him a real sense of pride.

“Sure, I was sorry it didn’t happen,” he says, “But the money was still raised.

And that’s really what it’s all about.”

Signs asking cyclists, pedestrians to cross at lights draw criticism Paved median not a legal crossing for Trans Canada Trail: councillor Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Signs posted last month along the Trans Canada Trail warning cyclists and pedestrians not to cross Eagleson Road have drawn criticism.

A “shared pathway” sign with an arrow pointing south advises cyclists and pedestrians to cross at the traffic lights 120 metres away. Signs warning there is no cross-

ing Eagleson at the trail were posted on the paved median in the centre of Eagleson, as well as both sides of the Trans Canada Trail.

Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley posted a photo of the new signs on Twitter on July 19 and the tweet garnered backlash from other Twitter users.

cal crossing” while Yaro Skvo (@zzptichka) called the signs “garbage.”

Others argued it could become a legal issue if someone is hit.

Hubley said the city may have to take more extreme measures to keep people from crossing the road at the trail because of some of the comments he’s received, although he’d prefer to leave the signs and paved portion as is so people can cross when traffic isn’t heavy.

“If the road’s not that busy why not let a cyclist go across there – if it’s an adult or someone that can make an informed decision on whether it’s safe or not to cross,” he said. “For liability purposes the city is not going to put a sign up saying

it’s OK. You’re basically jaywalking with a bike.”

Hubley said – due to the nature of some of the feedback – he might have to look at installing a fence (similar to the one along the median near the Eagleson parkand-ride) or making the whole median grass to discourage people from crossing at that location.

“I think our hand is going to be forced on this because of what some people are trying to do,” he said.

“They’re trying to say these signs don’t matter, they’re going to go ahead (and cross). Because they’ve communicated that to us we now have to react to that.”

Trans Canada Trail users offer mixed reviews Continued from page 39

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

David Haig, who often cycles along the trail and eight years ago biked across Canada, says the city shouldn’t be using half measures to keep people from crossing Eagleson Road at the Trans Canada Trail.

40 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 18, 2016

“There’s a handful of cyclists saying because of that paved part on the boulevard, even though there’s a no-biking sign there … they’re saying that the city has unsafe infrastructure because they want to be able to ride across,” said Hubley.

“So now they’re threatening saying it’s a legal issue.”

Cyclists using the trail offered mixed reviews. Some said they would continue crossing the road at the trail when there’s a break in traffic, while others said they’ve started crossing at the lights.

David Haig, who often cycles along the trail and eight years ago biked across Canada, said the city shouldn’t be using half measures.

“Either put a fence up or take the sign down,” he said.

“You can’t regulate against stupidity, but I can see why they did it.”

Haig also suggested that if the city won’t consider putting in a separate set of traffic lights for the trail users, the lights from the retail entrance 120

metres south could be moved to the trail crossing.

“I’ve seen lights a lot closer together in this city,” he said. “I may just not use this section of the trail anymore.”

Matt Muise cycles the Trans Canada Trail an average of three times a week and bikes the extra hundred metres to cross at the intersection.

“I try to obey the signs as much as possible,” he said. “Everybody’s got to protect themselves. (The city is) just trying to make it safe for everyone.”

Other trail users suggested a crosswalk or bike and pedestrian light be installed to make it safer. Hubley said the trail intersection doesn’t qualify for traffic lights because of the signalized intersection 120 metres away.

“You can’t stop the thousands of cars a day that are coming down this road and then stop them again five carlengths later,” said Hubley.

“There’s no way we would get the OK to put a light in for this.”’

See CITY, page 41

City says use of trail not high enough to warrant separate traffic light Continued from page 40

The city’s media department would not make any city staff member available by phone but in an emailed response credited to Greg Kent, manager of traffic, safety and mobility, the city wrote it conducted a pedestrian survey on July 6.

“The location was found to be unwarranted based on the measured use,” the city

email said.

Over a six-hour period the survey saw 154 people (22 children, 14 youths, 94 adults, 24 seniors, and no people with disabilities) crossing at Eagleson and the Trans Canada Trail; 134 were on bicycles while 20 were pedestrians.

Before crossing the road: • 85 people waited 10 seconds or less.

• 40 people waited be-

tween 11 and 30 seconds.

• 29 people waited longer than 30 seconds.

“Approximately 205 pedestrians would need to cross the roadway and at least 100 pedestrians must be delayed by more than 10 seconds to cross the road in order to satisfy the warrant for a pedestrian signal,” said the city email.

At its current rate of use and with Eagleson’s 60-kilo-

A ‘shared pathway’ sign with an arrow pointing south advises cyclists and pedestrians to cross at the retail area traffic lights 120 metres away.

metres-per-hour speed limit, a spacing of 215 metres between traffic lights is needed, said the city.

It will be another three years before the location is re-evaluated.

Hubley said he looked

into the possibility of a pedestrian/cycling bridge over Eagleson but it would be too costly. Instead, the sidewalks along both sides of Eagleson were widened to become a multi-use pathway from the trail to the traffic lights.

“It was a couple million bucks to do a bridge across here,” he said. “It’s 90 meters from here to that light. All we did was ask people – and most people do it – they go up and safely cross at the light.”

Fazes said his dad would take him to the roof of their Montreal apartment building and they would look at the stars and planets.

“I was caught hook, line and sinker. There was no turning back for me,” he said.

As he grew up, he said his fascination with stars and space eventually evolved into a career as a science writer and educator and the idea of writing a book about star gazing had always been in the back of his mind.

Star Trek-themed book explains science behind show’s voyages Continued from page 42

That is when he decided to pitch them a different kind of book — connecting the science fiction of Star Trek to star gazing.

“They loved it,” Fazekas said, adding the fact that the upcoming 50th anniversary of Star Trek made the idea more exciting to the publisher.

“It was a perfect storm,” Fazekas said.

This book, the author adds, has never been done before, and takes a look at science through specific episodes from more than five decades of Star Trek shows and movies.

“This is about getting Star Trek fans off the couch and out in the backyard looking at stars,” Fazekas said. “It’s meant to connect you and bring new people to science in a different way.”

Fazes admits it was a huge archive to mine — literally cherry-picking the episodes — with more than

600 episodes to sift through the author said in the end, he is really pleased with how it turned-out.

CAPTAIN KIRK

A self-proclaimed science geek, Fazekas said the Trekkie in him was honoured to have Captain Kirk himself — William Shatner — write the foreword for the book.

“It was a must to get his approval,” Fazekas said, unable to wipe the smile off his face.

“We needed Captain Kirk to set the scene of the book.”

Fazekas said to him, it offers Star Trek fans the seal of approval.

“I’m just humbled to now be a part of the Star Trek family,” he added.

The book will be on sale in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s gift shop and more information about the book and where to pick it up is available online at startrek.com.

The winner of the raffle will receive round-trip tickets for two from any WestJest destination to any other WestJest destination. Last year’s winner, Doucette said, was thinking of using the prize to travel to Dublin, Ireland – but the possibilities are endless.

Doucette explained that the tickets do not need to be used to depart from Ottawa. For example, the winner might choose to fly to Vancouver or another city before using their tickets to head to Hawaii. The tickets will be valid until Dec. 15, 2017 and must be purchased by persons at least 18 years old.

While WestJet has been donating Gift of Flight tickets to Canadian Guide Dogs for several years, they used to be auctioned in a silent auction. The new raffle draw is a win-win for everyone, Doucette said, because the cost for participants is only $20 and the organization raises significantly more money for their cause.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind usually brought in around $3,000 to $5,000 by auctioning the WestJet tickets in the silent auction. In contrast, last year’s raffle brought in more than $10,000.

“We hope to do that again this year,” Doucette said.

Tickets for the raffle can be purchased at the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind headquarters in Manotick (4120 Rideau Valley Dr. N), online at their website (www. guidedogs.ca) or by calling 613-692-7777 – but Doucette said to get them early. There are only 705 tickets available by law, and there’s a possibility they will sell out quickly.

Area hospitals receive $12.4 million for repairs Staff

Seven Ottawa hospitals are getting $12.4 million for 2016-17 to keep them in good shape and to ensure patients continue to receive care in a safe environment.

The announcement was made on Aug. 12 at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic Campus.

The funding includes: • Montfort Hospital, $470,000 • Bruyère Continuing Care Inc., $3.6 million • CHEO, $965,000 • Queensway Carleton Hospital, $481,000 • Ottawa Hospital, $6.7 million • University of Ottawa Heart Institute, $140,000 • Almonte General Hospital, $40,000 The province is providing $175 million to hospitals across Ontario, which

is an increase of $50 million over last year’s funding. A total of 135 hospitals will receive funding from the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund for infrastructure projects that will “extend the useful life or improve the quality of their facilities,” according to a press release.

The types of projects could include replacement of roofs, windows, HVAC systems, fire alarms and back-up generators.

“In Ottawa, we have a world-class public health care system, supported by the hospitals in our community. The funding announced today will ensure that our hospitals have the ability to make improvements to their infrastructure, leading to better service, comfort and access for patients and their families,” said John Fraser,

MPP for Ottawa South, in the release.

The province is also planning to spend $12 billion over 10 years for capital grants to hospitals so they can modernize. The Ontario government is also increasing provincewide funding to hospitals by more than $345 million this year, representing a two per cent increase over last year.

“Effective health care takes more than expert clinical staff and worldclass research – and we have both in Ottawa,” said Alex Munter, president and CEO of CHEO in a statement. “It also takes up-to-date hospitals that run smoothly. This investment by the government of Ontario will help to equip CHEO and our fellow hospitals to serve the growing number of kids and families in our region.”

Submitted

Ottawa South MPP John Faser, Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announced additional funds for seven Ottawa hospitals for renovations and repairs on Aug. 12 at the Ottawa Hospital.

Heron bridge renamed to honour workers killed 50 years ago Emma Jackson Metro

It was “just luck” that Michael Lecuyer wasn’t killed when the Heron Road bridge collapsed under its own weight 50 years ago this week.

“In an instant, it was down,” said Lecuyer, now 68. “You didn’t have a chance to do anything: scream, breathe, anything.”

He was 18 years old on Aug. 10, 1966, his second day on the job, when the southwestern span collapsed as crews poured the concrete bridge deck.

Like most of his colleagues, he fell 20 metres, alongside tonnes of rebar, lumber and wet cement. He was buried up to his chest in thick, heavy concrete – and it just kept raining down.

“If you’ve ever played football and had six guys jump on top of you, it was 10 times worse than that,” said Lecuyer, who was emotional recalling the traumatic day. “I didn’t think it was

ever going to stop.”

Sheer panic helped him escape, surviving with only with minor cuts, bruises and what would become longterm damage to his back.

Nine workers died and more than 60 were injured in the disaster, the worst in Ottawa’s history.

On Aug. 10, politicians, advocates, survivors and family members gathered at the bridge to officially rename the span the Heron Road Workers’ Memorial Bridge in honour of the anniversary.

Gilles La Madeleine laid a rose at the commemorative plaque in memory of his father, Omer La Madeleine, who was killed while working as a carpenter that day.

La Madeleine was 21 that day, and heard news of the disaster on the radio. He rushed to the site in search of his father.

“It was a really bad day.

It was awful. You have to live it to know what it is,” he said.

Ottawa and District Labour Council president Sean McKenny welcomed the commemorative renaming.

“Our community and its residents must never, ever entirely forget that day,” he said.

Michael Lecuyer was 18 when the Heron Road Bridge he was helping to build collapsed on Aug. 10, 1966. He revisited the site Aug. 10 to honour the nine workers killed.

An electrifying driving experience Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Michelle Nash Baker/Metroland

The Ford C-Max Energi plug-in Hybrid offers drivers afraid to take the leap into the electric market the ultimate bridge between the old gas-guzzlers of yesteryear to a futuristic efficient, powerful vehicle. choice, announcing nearly 500 new charging stations at more than 250 locations across the province.

According to the government, the expansion will help address “range anxiety.”

Now for a car that only gets around 30 km per charge, range anxiety can’t really be an issue — because you know what you are getting. And better yet, when the range drops down to zero, the car switches back to hybrid and still offers amazing fuel economy.

The government also raised its Electric Vehicle Incentive Program in an effort to make electric vehicles more affordable for Ontarians.

The increase for electric vehicles went from $5,000-$8,500 to $6,000 - $10,000. With the opportunity to receive an additional $3,000 incentive for vehicles with larger battery capacities, an additional $1,000 incentive for vehicles with five or more seats and a cap for vehicles priced between $75,000 and $150,000 (basically for the purchase of a Tesla) at $3,000.

For the C-Max, according to the government,

Ever wonder what the sound of a non-revving engine sounds like?

Or how long it takes (or costs) to plug in and charge an electric vehicle? What about the range, the performance, the space?

Will I feel like I am peddling my car a-la Fred Flintstone?

Or will I be able to get up to top highway speed in under 60 seconds?

When given the opportunity to answer those questions, I jumped at the chance — and jumped into a Ford C-Max Energi plug-in Hybrid.

This car offers drivers the option; plug in or not.

Currently there are about 5,800 electric vehicles in the province. And for one short week, I got to be one of the lucky ones who emitted little to no pollution while I went to and from work, assignments and child care needs in July.

The range is not very far if you choose to drive electric. The best I got was about 34 kilometres before it changed back into hybrid mode, but this vehicle does offer the option, for those a little unsure about whether they want to go full electric or not.

The Ford C-Max Energi utilizes a lithium-ion battery and electric motor with a gasoline engine.

So really at the end of the day this is the “I’m not really sure I’m ready to go full-electric” car for you.

The best part about all this electric driving is if you also had the same questions I had, then your chance to take an electric car for a test spin, all you have to do is go down to Sparks Street and check out Ottawa EV Day on Aug. 18 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The annual event is now in its third year and offers people the chance to check out the benefits of driving an electric as well as what else is out there on the market today. Hosted by the Ottawa Centre EcoDistrict, the day includes tests drives facilitated by Plug N Drive, a non-profit organization committed to promoting and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles.

There will also be electric car owners showcasing their own vehicles who will also be available to speak with to help you understand what it’s like going electric on the roads in Ottawa.

Starting at $29,384 the CMax comes with all the features most 2016 cars offer these days — hands-free calling with simple voice commands, music search and control, a large touch LCD screen with pinch to zoom navigation tools and the ability to swipe — making it as easy as using your phone.

Switching from electric to hybrid and gas-only driving mode is as easy as the touch of a button. You can also let the smarter-than-you car figure it out, as it will switch to the appropriate mode for you.

It can fully charge overnight using the 120-volt convenience cord or charge in 2.5 hours with a 240-volt home charging station.

Not only does it come with all the luxuries any car owner would like, it also has what Ford has called the SmartGauge with EcoGuide and Brake Coach. This real-time information provides you with the knowledge to help you get the most out of your driving performance.

Although I found the feature slightly distracting, and slightly like a video game (Yes! I got 100 per cent on my braking! Take that other cars!). It did make me re-think how I drive an automatic transmission. (Quick tip for those who would like to be in the know: Don’t slam on the brakes, slow and steady wins the race for fuel economy, folks.)

As for taking the plunge and getting into your own electric car, the Ontario government is making it a little easier for drivers to make that

E-mail: Jamie Cuffley jamie.cuffley@ocdsb.ca

there is a $7,730 rebate.

Eligible electric vehicles must be new, not previously plated, registered, insured and roadworthy.

Vehicles used for other purposes or by the manufacturer are not eligible for an incentive.

Basically, I found the C-

Max to be the ultimate bridge between the old gas-guzzlers of yesteryear to the Jetsonslike future we all dreamed about. It has a safety net. You can drive solely on gas, and save the electric for short citydriving trips. Or you can utilize the 30 km you get to help alle-

viate the cost of fuel and your impact on the environment.

After seven days, I topped up the 52-litres tank, back to its 900 km range and it only cost me $13.

Not bad for a week of city and highway driving in Ottawa.

Plum gelato is perfect Italian treat for those hot summer days Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used. Italian ice cream has less of both.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1-1/2 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6 Ingredients:

• 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Italian Prune Plums • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Honey Custard: • 1 egg • 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half-and-half cream • 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk •2 tbsp (25 mL) honey Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.

Cut each plum in half, but not all the way through and remove pit. Place plums cut side up in prepared pan (they will be snug). Drizzle with honey. Roast in 425ºF (220ºC) oven until very soft, darker in colour and caramelized on the bottom, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth. Pour into container, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preparation instructions

Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, milk and honey until honey is dissolved.

Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove 1/2 cup (125 mL) of warm mixture and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to

coat back of metal spoon, about 8 minutes. Pour into heatproof bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight.

Gently whisk plum purée into custard. Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions. Freeze in covered container.

For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving.

Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to 3 weeks.

ENSUITE

Cardel is no stranger to this haven on the Mississippi. Its Stonewater Bay community was a big hit with buyers looking to embrace an executive riverside lifestyle. Now, with the arrival of Miller’s Crossing, even more families can enjoy the tranquil charm of Carleton Place, surrounded by urban conveniences. Featuring brand new plans exclusive to this special community, Miller’s Crossing will offer a range of affordable options for buyers new to the area or looking to move within a town they already love.

Regardless of the style they choose – a single-family home, townhome or a condo (coming soon) – Miller’s Crossing buyers will find lower prices than those for comparable homes in nearby communities like Kanata or Stittsville, without sacrificing a convenient commute or neighbourhood charm. The community’s location is sure to be popular with DND employees moving to the new Kanata HQ, just a short drive from home.

Cardel’s sales centre will open on August 22 at noon at Unit 1C, 515 McNeely Ave., next to Starbucks in the commercial park at McNeely and Highway 7. For sales centre hours and to register for updates, visit www.cardelhomes.com

BONUS ROOM

Miller’s Crossing will launch with 15 new single-family floorplans, expected to start in the low $400s. Plans include four bungalow designs plus a variety of two-storey layouts available on two lot sizes, with several elevation styles to choose from, including Canadiana, contemporary and traditional exteriors. Each home style is designed to complement the nature-draped surroundings and contribute to attractive neighbourhood streetscapes.

For those looking to embrace the easy life, Cardel’s townhomes will combine low-maintenance convenience and affordability. With seven floorplans to choose from, townhomes in Miller’s Crossing include high specification standards and come loaded with features – a great way to enjoy Cardel craftsmanship at a low price point.

Surrounded by nature, including parks, a pond and a community centre, Miller’s Crossing is located adjacent to greenspace protected from future development. Residents can take advantage of nearby shopping within walking distance, including Canadian Tire, Starbucks, Walmart, Tim Hortons and Independent Grocer. With its full calendar of local events and year-round recreation opportunities, Carleton Place has a sense of community all its own.

WHEN LIFE BECOMES AN ART WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT AN ELEGANT, MODERN BUILDING THAT COMBINES LUXURIOUS APARTMENTS, A BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND A MAGNIFICENT ART GALLERY – ALL IN AN IDEAL SETTING IN DOWNTOWN OTTAWA? THAT’S WHAT DEVMCGILL IS OFFERING, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OTTAWA ART GALLERY, THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA AND GROUPE GERMAIN. LOVERS OF CULTURE AS WELL AS SEEKERS OF A UNIQUE LIFESTYLE IN THE HEART OF URBAN HUSTLE WILL BE DELIGHTED. DevMcGill, which has been crowned Entrepreneur of the Year and is the winner of the prestigious Montréal Architectural Heritage Award, is a key real estate promoter in Canada. The Arthaus project combines its unmatched savoir-faire and standout audacity.

For the first time in Canada, a residential tower will combine luxury condominiums, an art gallery and a boutique hotel. Residents are immersed in culture in the heart of Ottawa.

SUMPTUOUS CONDOMINIUMS The 89 condos located between the 15th and 23rd floors (including four penthouses) offer a breathtaking panorama of Ottawa and the surrounding area, no matter where the apartments are located.

On the east are vistas of trees, houses and historic buildings, as well as University of Ottawa campus; on the west, the view of downtown, Parliament and its magical evening spectacles is unbeatable; and finally, on the north the hills surrounding the Ottawa Valley

to the north of Gatineau rise proudly on the horizon.

All the condos have at least one bedroom, a living room, a dining room and a bathroom (two in the two-bedroom units) with glassed-in showers and rainshower showerheads. They also have an elegant open-plan kitchen, the work of Toronto designer U31, with built-in European appliances. Two condominiums can be joined together to provide three bedrooms.

The penthouses have two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room (convenient for guest!), along with a gas stove in a kitchen and an outdoor gas fitting that makes barbecuing easier. A gas fireplace can also be installed.

In order to personalize the décor to their own tastes, owners are invited to chose from a range of top-end finishes selected by famous designers. Besides the choice of materials, they get expert advice on how to configure and personalize their space. On request, an ultramodern home automation system can be installed in the penthouses to control lighting, music and the alarm system.

Another characteristic of these condominiums: exceptional lighting, featuring immense bay windows and ceilings 9 to 10 feet high (14 in the penthouses). Most of these apartments, and all the penthouses, have a balcony or loggia terrace. You’ll feel like you’re practically in the clouds, with the City of Ottawa at your feet!

Ottawa airport pitches in to help make 2017 ‘banner year’ Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

and Derek Mainville, CIBC district vice-president.

CIBC is Ottawa 2017’s lead partner.

As many as eight million visitors flock to Ottawa each year on average, but the hope is next year’s tally will climb by 1.75 million, Watson said, noting that in addition to hosting a strong roster of events, the key to drawing visitors and keeping the year-long party celebrating Canada’s birthday top of mind will be ensuring the event’s logo is featured in prime parts of the city, such as downtown, in train stations and at airports.

Watson thanked Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the airport authority, for the approximately $1-million in-kind advertising for the banners and wall space

where poster ads will be put on display inside the terminal.

“You’re going to see banners popping up all over the city, but one of the priority areas that we really wanted to nail down was the entry to the airport,” Watson said.

The airport sees more than 4.6 million passengers pass through each year.

“We want people to start

thinking about their plans to come back to this great city.”

The airport is paying for the banners that appear on airport property, and the contribution includes the value of the wall space where paid ads are typically placed.

“If the roadway banners that we installed over the weekend are any indication, the terminal will be resplen-

dent and I’m excited to see what’s coming next,” said Laroche, who also sits on the Ottawa 2017’s board of directors and chairs its finance and audit committee.

“Together we are telling the rest of Canada that everyone ought to plan to join the birthday party, that Ottawa is the place to be,“ he said. “Our airport will be ready with a warm welcome.”

Canada’s 150th birthday will be ‘a banner year,’ in part thanks to the Ottawa International Airport, which is chipping in a $1 million in-kind investment.

Colorful banners depicting images of some of the premier highlight events that will be featured next year – Red Bull Crushed Ice, La Machine and festivals – now line the roads at the airport. Other signage will be posted inside the terminals.

“When I saw these beautiful banners I said, ‘This is going to be a banner year for Ottawa 2017,’” Mayor Jim Watson quipped as he stood against a backdrop of banners on Aug. 15 at the airport’s arrivals area.

Working with partners is key to letting Ottawa residents and people around the world know that Ottawa 2017 is fast approaching, he said.

“If you came in by the Airport Parkway today, you’ll see these beautiful banners on about 50 different poles coming in and out of the airport,” Watson said before a crowd that included Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, Guy Laflamme, executive director of the Ottawa 2017 Bureau, Susan St. Amand, chair of the Ottawa International Airport Authority’s board of directors and reps from Ottawa Tourism and the Ottawa Gatineau Hotel Association.

Also in attendance were Kathleen Woodard, a senior vice-president with CIBC

CAT OF THE WEEK “ALBERT” NEEDSYOUR LAP This sweet, friendly, playful and gorgeous orange boy who loves to be brushed and made a fuss over him is looking to have his very own home and warm lap.

Some of the boys at the sanctuary are giving him “the look” and make him feel not wanted. He is ready to be adopted... neutered, checked out medically etc. Just needs the phone call to ask about him and have a meeting of the heart. If you are looking some one to love you unconditionally look no further - here he is.

For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

‘Those were heroic actions’ says dog attack witness Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A witness to the dog attacks in Orléans on Aug. 13 said he’s thankful for the heroic actions of neighbours and police.

Two large dogs attacked a woman in her mid-twenties on Lamoureux Drive in the morning. Nearby men intervened, one of which was also injured by the dogs, to try and get the animals to stop their attack on the woman, before police arrived and shot and killed both dogs.

“It could have ended even worse in terms of what happened to this lady and this man,” said Steve Outhouse, a nearby neighbour who witnessed the incident.

“I think the man with the shovel and the man with the broom, those were heroic actions and I’m thankful to live in a community where people were there to help this woman.”

Police said a 24-year-old woman was first attacked by the dogs. She is currently recovering in hospital, police said. She had severe lacerations to both upper arms, as well as lacerations to her head, face, back and buttocks.

A 66-year-old man stepped in to try and hit the dogs away, when they started to attack him.

That’s when Outhouse began to witness the incident, after being drawn out of his house by the woman’s screams.

“By the time I got there, he was the one being bitten and he had blood all over him. It was awful,” he said.

He saw the man, who had tried to get the dogs off the woman, on the ground being attacked.

“He just didn’t seem to be able to get away. Every time he started to move they would pull him back down again,” he said. “These dogs were just relentless, they were just attacking.”

He said a neighbour brought out a shovel, and swung it at one of the dogs, but it didn’t seem to phase the animal.

“So he swung the shovel and hit the dog – and it hardly looked like it phased the dog at all,” Outhouse said. “Even a vehicle coming at it didn’t seem to phase it all … these things were strong.”

He said one of the dogs started to walk towards Des Epinettes Avenue, then turned towards Tenth Line and walked away.

The other dog let go of the man, who suffered lacerations to his knee, and walked towards Outhouse’s street, Duvernay Drive. He said the dog started going towards a part of the street where many young children live.

He ran out, got in his minivan and called 911 to help police track where the dog was.

When the police arrived, he said the dog was running around on doorsteps.

The police followed the dog

towards a walking path, where the dog was shot and killed.

Outhouse said the officer waited until the dog had moved away from the home before shooting it.

“The threat to public safety was very clear,” Outhouse said. “I’ve not heard anyone (in the neighbourhood) say this was the wrong thing to do. I’ve seen what those dogs did … this was aggressively attacking two adults, and was roaming around a neighbourhood that houses many young children. This was absolutely the right thing to do.”

The dogs had pit bulllike features and were quite large, Outhouse said, but he had no way of knowing for sure what type of breed the dogs were.

No one in the neighbourhood that he’s talked to had seen the dogs before or recognized them.

He said he hopes the dog owner can be identified because regardless of if they were let loose or broke free, it resulted in gunshots in a residential neighbourhood.

On Aug. 15, Ottawa Police said the matter was still under investigation, and the owner of the dogs had not yet been confirmed. They said on conclusion of the investigation, charges, if warranted, could be laid.

The city’s animal care and control bylaw allows charges to be laid if a person allows their dog to bite or attack a person or domestic animal.

Wedding day shenanigans

T

he invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas.

Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service.

The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth to that rumour.

over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too!

A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal, I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, money sugar bowl to buy smile, and look neither left new shoes, and I had to nor right. wear a pair that had come I had never laid eyes on in the hand-me-down box the lad before, and my first from Aunt Lizzie, and which introduction to him was I had long ago outgrown. when he stuck his tongue I knew I was going to be out at me, and crossed his in agony, but to complain eyes right on the church could rip me right out of steps! My long red ringlets the whole wedding party, so had been up in rags all every day, long before the night, and just as we were wedding, I crammed my feet about to go into the church, into the shoes, hoping they this young whippersnapper would stretch even a fracgrabbed a handful of curls tion of an inch. and hissed, “giddy up there The day finally arrived, horsey” nearly knocking me and all Mother’s praying off my feet.

MARY COOK

Memories

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs.

Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-

An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way.

I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that.

He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep.

Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture.

But soon you could hear the loud snores all over the church. The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over.

It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another

commotion.

I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over.

The dress became my “going to church dress,” but the shoes would never touch my feet again. One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brown-laced boys shoes.

Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again, think the Depression was happening in some other country.

Embracing all paths that lead to pride Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

At four years-old, Charlie Lowthian-Rickert knew exactly who she wanted to be.

And to make that happen, the first step was to ask for some Barbie dolls and pretty dresses.

And most importantly, for her parents to never cut her hair again.

“I want people to not care what was in my underwear, but how I felt in my heart,” Charlie said.

Charlie was not born a girl, but identifies as one. She said it’s how she has always felt.

“My parents listened, and as you can see, they never cut my hair again,” Charlie said.

The now 10-year-old added she is grateful her parents and family have offered nothing but unconditional love.

“You have to listen to your kids,” said Charlie’s mom, Anne Lowthian.

Lowthian and her hus-

band, Chris Rickert, admitted they were not prepared to have their four-year-old son come to them and say he wanted to be referred to as ‘she’, but ultimately Lowthian and Rickert said they just wanted to see their child happy. learn from kids

“I didn’t know what to think,” Lowthian said. “It was my first experience with anything outside the traditional ‘boy-girl’ we understood. But at the end of the day, it’s amazing what you can learn from your kids.”

Charlie’s story is part of a community initiative called Path to Pride. Funded by the United Way Ottawa and Ottawa’s Capital Pride, the initiative was launched on Aug. 8 and aims to share stories from Ottawa’s LGBTQ+ community, as well as raise funds to support kids, families and seniors on their journeys.

the United Way has invested more than $400,000 in LGBTQ+ programs, including the Ten Oaks Project, Family Services Ottawa and the Ot-

tawa Senior Pride Network to address challenges including discrimination (homophobia and transphobia) and bullying, a need for ac-

cessible counselling and support and a desire for more inclusive social and healthcare spaces. “It’s not something you choose,” Charlie said.“I listened to my feelings. My inner voice told me I was a girl.”

Charlie, will represent the LGBTQ+ community as this year’s Ottawa Capital Pride grand marshal.

“This is amazing, it’s such an honour,” she said. “Most people are so much older and this means so much.”

This will be the first time the Pride parade’s grand marshal will be a child.

Tammy Dopson of Capital Pride said asking Charlie to be the marshal was the easiest decision Capital Pride’s board ever made.

“It just made sense,” Dopson said. “Pride as a platform represents education, positivity and openness and Charlie represents all those things.”

Ottawa’s Capital Pride runs from Aug. 15-21.

Ten days of fun at Capital Fair this month available in advance online at the Capital Fair website (www.capitalfair.ca) for $20 or at the door for $25.

Monster truck shows, demolition derbies, horse shows, live music, hypnotists and Eastern Ontario’s largest midway – these are just a few of the attractions coming to Ottawa Aug. 19 to 28.

Quickly becoming one of the largest fairs in the area, the Capital Fair at the Rideau Carleton Raceway offers 10 days of affordable family fun.

“It’s going to be incredible,” said Harley Bloom, the fair’s general manager.

“It is going to be the best entertainment for the value in the region.”

With free gate admission and several no-cost attractions and events each day, Bloom said the event is the perfect opportunity to experience all the fun of a fair for next to nothing.

Free attractions include an Ultimutts Stunt Dog Show, a demolition derby, a

“We have a jam-packed agenda with lots of action going on,” Bloom said.

“And a lot of it is completely free.”

MONSTER TRUCK MANIA

One of the biggest attractions offered at the Capital Fair is the Monster Trucks in Motion Show offered on Aug. 20 at 1 and 5 p.m. and Aug. 21 at 1 p.m. The show includes three components:

Mini Monsters, Trailer Races and Demo Cross.

“This is an outdoor show,” Bloom said, “which means these guys can get up to speeds and heights and do tricks they couldn’t do in an arena.”

Tickets for the show are

The Capital Fair boasts the largest midway in Eastern Ontario, drawing approximately 250,000 people to the event each year.

Passes for the midway can be purchased at the fair for $38 each (offering full access to the midway for one day) – but until Thursday, Aug. 18 at midnight, tickets are available for presale for $19.99.

While that’s a great deal, Bloom said, there is an even better one available. During the first hour of the fair this year (between noon and 1 p.m. on Aug. 19) Osgoode ward Coun. George Darouze will offer one free hour at the midway for all guests present.

Market killing one of several shootings Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa police are on the hunt for a man wanted in relation to a shooting death in the ByWard Market in the early morning hours of Aug. 14.

Thirty-three year-old Omar Rashid-Ghader was killed at a nightclub on Dalhousie Street early Aug. 14. Later that day, police said they were looking for Mustafa Ahmed, a 28-year-old in relation to the killing.

Ahmed is described as being 5-foot-11 (180 centimetres) and approximately 141 pounds (64 kilograms) with a slender build. He has black long wavy hair and brown eyes.

Police have advised that the suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

Responding to the fatal shooting was only the start of a day of violent crime in Ottawa’s east end, with police reporting three other gunfire incidents during the day in the Blackburn Hamlet, Overbrook and Cummings neighbourhoods.

According to Supt. Don Sweet both Rashid-Ghader and Ahmed are both known to be active gang members and although Sweet hesitated to say if the shooting death was drug or gang related and also

hesitated to connect the homicide with the other shootings, he did say that police were investigating the possibility of a connection.

“These are not random acts,” Sweet said, stating the shootings were targeted.

In relation to the Cummings neighbourhood shooting that was reported at 4:50 p.m., police asked for the public’s assistance in locating two vehicles — a grey Nissan Altima and a silver Ford Mustang.

Sweet said the police recovered the Ford Mustang by an officer shortly after requesting assistance from the public.

The Overbrook area, which is where one of the shooting incidents was reported, has seen its share of violent crime recently.

“I wasn’t surprised. I’ve been pleased there was less incidents this summer, but it is unfortunately the new normal,” said Rawlson King of the Overbrook Community Association. “But despite that, I think Overbrook is making strides and coming up with strategies to engage youth.”

The strategy, according to King, includes finding ways to keep youth in the area occupied and engaged, with specific goals including employability and education.

Laura Dudas, the community

association president in Blackburn Hamlet, said they’re also working with the community to see what solutions they want. It’s the second shooting in Blackburn Hamlet this year – in January, a bullet hit a man sleeping in his bed. Police said he wasn’t being targeted.

Dudas said she went over to the scene of the shooting on Aug. 14, and there were a number of people in the community who were fearful.

She has plans to continue to speak with residents in that part of the community to see how they want to deal with the most recent shooting, and what solutions they suggest. For now, she urges people to call the police if they see suspicious activity.

Sweet said police are working hard to push back against crime associated with guns and gangs, as well as drugs.

At a press conference on Aug. 15, police said they are seeking witnesses or anyone with information about the weekend shootings, adding that if anyone sees the wanted grey Nissan to call 911.

Mayor’s Report Ottawa welcOmes yOung talent frOm arOund the wOrld fOr One yOung wOrld summit By: Mayor Jim Watson

Last fall, I had the pleasure of attending the One Young World Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, where I received the Summit’s “baton”from the Governor of the Bangkok’s Metropolitan Authority, confirming Ottawa as host of One Young World 2016. The baton is proudly displayed at City Hall, until it is time for me to relay it to the 2017 host city.

The One Young World Summit is the largest gathering of nations behind the Summer Olympic Games, designed to bring together young people from across the globe to create lasting, meaningful relationships that empower them to create positive change at home and abroad.

Since its inception in 2009, One Young World has hosted 7,300 delegates between the ages of 18 and 30, with a further 1,300 expected from 196 countries for the 2016 Summit in Ottawa.

The annual One Young World Summit brings together the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations. Delegates to the Summit network with peers from across all spectrums of private industry, the public sector and our world. They will debate, formulate and share innovative solutions for the pressing issues the world faces. No youth led movement outside of the Olympic Games represents as many nationalities as the One Young World Summit.

As an innovative, vibrant and welcoming city, I am proud to greet these young future leaders to our Nation’s Capital this fall. While in Ottawa, they will also have the opportunity to hear and be heard by talented Counsellors, such as former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chef Jamie Oliver and Cher, who will attend the Summit in order to mentor these talented youth.

Hopeful delegates from around the world - and Ottawa of course – can still apply to attend by submitting an online application: www.oneyoungworld.com/attend-summit-2016.

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 Everyone recognizes your ambition this week, Aries. Channel your energy constructively and don’t be ashamed to pursue your goals so strongly.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, tackle some slow and steady work this week rather than trying to be innovative or unique. There will be a time to innovate later on. Right now you need to prove yourself.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are in the mood to get started on something new over the next few days. Think about some tasks you have been putting off and develop a plan to address them.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take an intellectual approach to solving a problem that has been bothering you for quite some time. Ask a friend for advice if you find you need some help.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, approaching someone who has not done his or her share of the work can be difficult. Tread gently because this person may have been distracted by something more pressing.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Your big ideas are highly valued, Virgo. Let others know what you are thinking and you may find that even more people are receptive to your ideas than you initially thought.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, things have been going your way for some time now. It’s exciting waiting for whatever is just around the corner. This unanticipated good fortune is just what you need.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Open yourself up to a new way of thinking, Scorpio. While your way of doing things may be right most of the time, adopting a fresh perspective may help you see things more clearly.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try doing something on the spur of the moment. Spotaneity may give you a rush that you may not have felt in some time. This could be just the excitement you need right now.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Try to meet some new people, Capricorn. Add to your collection of networking contacts, which will help further both your professional and personal lives.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, relax when a stressful situation presents itself. Add some humor to the situation so you and others can handle it in the most positive way possible.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if others are uninterested in being social, find creative ways to enjoy some alone time. This may include music or artwork.
