Patient delays life saving treatment Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - A Kanata woman fighting a rare auto-immune disease has decided to delay her life-saving treatment so she can spend Christmas at home with her children.

Steph Headley was diagnosed with systematic scleroderma in 2001, which means her immune system works against her

to cause an over-production of collagen. The result, in Headley’s case, is the hardening of both her skin and internal organs.

Headley has been fundraising since the spring to travel to Chicago, IL, to receive an expensive but lifesaving stem cell treatment that would strip her of her immune system using chemotherapy.

Bridlewood children Ellanore Rughand, 11, left, and her nine-year-old sister Sonya are all smiles before the start of another year of classes, homework and extracurricular activities at W.O. Mitchell Elementary School on Sept. 2. Ellanore was curious about which teacher she would be assigned for her Grade 7 year, while Sonya said she was so excited to begin Grade 4 that she woke up at 5 a.m. – three hours before classes began.

‘Really we wanted to be home for Christmas’: Headley Continued from page 1

Her healthy stem cells would then be used to re-grow her immune system from the ground up.

The procedure costs $125,000 US, and earlier this summer she and her family managed to raise enough for the procedure with the help of an enormous anonymous donation of $128,000.

She planned to head to the US this fall to begin the three-month treatment process, but after careful thought decided to wait.

“Really we wanted to be home for Christmas with the kids, and we weren’t going to be able to be back in time for that,” Headley said.

“Christmas is a really important time for us, especially right now.

This is a really dangerous procedure.”

She’ll head to Chicago in midOctober for two weeks of pre-procedure testing, but she won’t leave for her three-month treatment until the first week of 2015, she said.

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

Headley said spending Christmas with her kids – ranging in age

from 15 to 30, with three living at home – will help her mentally prepare for the struggle ahead.

Missing Christmas, alternatively, would strip her of the strength to endure.

“I think it would be hard on me psychologically,” she said.

“You have to be strong psychologically to do this.”

Headley said the delay is not a huge change.

“We’re only talking about two months. In the scheme of things it’s not a lot more time,” she said.

“We’re more concerned about continuing to fundraise this fall.”

Headley estimates that the process will cost $200,000 in total, when costs like temporary living arrangements, drug prescriptions and transportation are factored in.

Right now she said she has about $15,000 US and $115,000 Cdn saved.

Earl of March Secondary School in Kanata will be helping with the fundraising effort this fall, although Headley said the school had not yet decided what they’ll do to raise the money.

She expects to meet with the school council early in September.

Why you need a will

and estates knowledge can be particularly helpful to professionals with their own

1. Your will is your tool which allows you to direct how your property will be

Ontario and to parents with children with disabilities. A devoted and

dispersed. By clearly stating your beneficiaries in a legally sound document, you prevent the government from making decisions on your behalf. If you do not, Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act provides that the first $200,000 will go to your spouse, and the rest will be shared between your spouse and children.

This may leave out important people in your life. For example, common law and same sex partners could be left with nothing, because the law doesn’t recognize them as legal spouses. Similarly, if there is no spouse nor child the estate will go to your parents or, if there are no parents, it is shared among your siblings. Writing a will gives you the power to alter the government’s default provisions and give part or all of your estate to a friend, other relative, organization, or even mentor.

2. When you create a will you shelter your loved ones from the burdensome and costly process of appointing an executor to administer your estate. What’s more, the courts may even assume the task of appointing your executor for you, and this person may not be who you would have chosen. By creating a will, you help your family feel prepared and grateful for the organized way everyone’s role is outlined in a legally binding document.

3. By creating a will you direct who will care for your children. While your wishes are not binding, the courts are hesitant to rule contrary to your instructions without good reason. This is because they recognize that they often cannot understand your family’s unique situation the way you can. Instead, by naming a custodial guardian in your will, you can communicate directly to the court by telling them who you trust to look after your children.

New Terry Fox Drive elementary school closer to reality School board keeping alternate tech-park site ‘in its back pocket’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A new elementary school on Terry Fox Drive is looking more and more like a reality, but it would be unlikely to open by the start of the next school year.

The Ottawa Carleton District School Board and the city are working out details needed to start construction on the new school, since it would be the first thing built in a future community there. Things like how and where to run pipes and roads through the undeveloped area are in discussion, but the school board is almost ready to submit a site plan for the location, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

“We would like to proceed with this site and we’re moving ahead with it,” said Jennifer McKenzie, chairwoman of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.

Both McKenzie and Wilkinson

said the new facility could not be ready in time for the funding deadline at the start of the 2015 school year, but both were confident the provincial funding to build the school would still work out.

McKenzie said informal discussions between school board and ministry of education staff leave her “confident” the funding deadline will still be available, even if construction isn’t 100 per cent complete by the deadline.

If the Terry Fox Drive site – which is already zoned for a school – works out, it will be a relief to some members of the community, who rallied against the school board’s alternate proposed location in the Kanata tech park.

In April, the city refused the board’s request to rezone the site next to Nordion Inc. to allow for a school, in part because it would have prevented the medical isotope producer from expanding its operation.

The school board appealed that decision to the Ontario Municipal Board and is still keeping the tech park site “in its back pocket,” Wilkinson said, but the appeal would be dropped once the Terry Fox site is finalized. The school board owns the

tech park site, but it would have to purchase the Terry Fox land from its current owner, KNL Developments.

“We’re going to keep our options open for now,” McKenzie said, but she added the board is now “focusing its efforts” on the Terry Fox site.

The hearing is set for November, so Wilkinson said she hopes the issue can be worked out before then. The city made it clear to the school board that if the OMB ruled in favour of the school board, the city would counter appeal to the courts, Wilkinson said.

“It’s really not a good place for a school,” the councillor said. “It’s not that Nordion doesn’t have all the safety precautions – they do. There is a psychological impact and there is a minute chance of a problem. The other site will be in a subdivision, so it’s where they will have homes nearby later on.”

While there is no requirement for a public meeting for the school site since it doesn’t need rezoning, Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design, said in April that there are plans for a special meeting to give residents some information about the site-plan details if and when the board applies to build the school.

Yet like those who strip down to their bathing suits to take the frigid polar bear plunge on New Year’s Day every year, there is something more than lunacy behind the Ice Bucket Challenge craze that’s sweeping the globe. In fact, a day doesn’t go by without some notable Ottawa resident or worldwide superstar of the screen, stage or sporting field sitting in front of a camera, recording their moment of bravery to raise money to support amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research.

So far, thanks to both the well-publicized antics of celebrities or the more humble courage of lessfamous individuals, more than $100 million has been raised for ALS – better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease – research worldwide in the month of August.

That’s an impressive number that includes $10 million donated to the ALS Society of Canada alone.

The results of the campaign are startling. Ac-

cording to the ALS Association, a mere $2.8 million was raised during the same period last year. That’s a huge difference, one that can be attributed to the Ice Bucket Challenge.

This begs the question of why fundraisers from other organizations, particularly those connected to diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis or diabetes, don’t put their heads together to come up with similarly bizarre challenges to raise money.

If people can return year after year to take the polar bear plunge or grow a moustache for Movember, often backed by charitable pledges, surely some sort of strange challenge or feat would attract potential donors to pony up for a thrill and spectacle similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Yes, there are runs, hikes, bicycle tours and swims to raise money for one cause or another, but nothing that has caught the collective imagination like a brief, icy bath.

The people involved with ALS have thrown down a fundraising challenge. It will be exciting to see what those who accept it can dream up.

Getting angry about cable – it’s a Canadian thing

I

f you’ve been around this country for a while, you’ll know what really bothers Canadians, what really gets them angry, what inspires them to write letters to their MP and nasty words in the comment sections on the Internet.

Hint: It’s not the Middle East. It’s not homelessness. It’s not the constitution. If you guessed cable TV, you win the Snickers bar.

It appears to drive us crazy. A few years ago when the cable companies introduced negative option billing, you would have thought World War III had broken out.

That gigantic public uproar disappeared after the cable companies backed down, but there is always a new uproar waiting to happen.

COMMUNITY

news

Funny Town A medium-sized uproar emerges every January when the Super Bowl game is approaching. There are loud complaints that we can’t see American commercials on our Canadian TV sets. Canadian broadcasters are allowed to cut them out and insert their own commercials. People really hate that. If you want a definition of the term “First World problem,� you probably couldn’t do any better than that.

and Telecommunications Commission that makes decisions about this and Canadians are constantly beseeching it to do one thing or another. We want more of this. We want less of that.

We can’t understand why the cable companies can’t give us more of this and less of that.

If you find this tiresome, there is bad news. The whole debate is starting up again.

This comes out of the release of a document by the CRTC discussing possible changes to the way things are done. The so-called pick-and-pay system is one of the options that will come up in hearings next month.

That will raise the whole question again of whether we should pay for channels we don’t watch, and whether DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 'RAHAM "RAGGER ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST 3HARON (OLDEN /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH 'EOFF (AMILTON /TTAWA %AST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT 'REG 3TIMPSON !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

we can add new channels without being forced to purchase additional channels.

I suppose it’s not an unimportant issue. The cable industry, along with some smaller channel operators, argues the current bundling method is necessary to the survival of channels that serve smaller audiences. Some of us love those little channels.

Since the CRTC has a mandate to ensure a certain amount of Canadian content, that argument makes a certain amount of sense. It would make more sense if most of the specialty channels didn’t resort to seeking an audience by abandoning their specialty in favour of old sitcoms, horror movies, rom-coms or reality shows.

To compound the problem is the fact many Canadians think, in these matters, more like consumers than citizens. The public good is nice, but it doesn’t get you the Golf Channel.

Nagging away in the background is the idea that TV as we know it will be obsolete in a few years and the CRTC will have to deal with that too.

In a way it’s sad that we get so worked up about all this, but there it is. “Everything is on the table for discussion,� says a CRTC spokesman.

Let ALS have its moment in the sun

I

f you have any presence on social media, you’ll know people across the world have been dumping buckets of ice water over their heads.

Automatic video streaming on Facebook has made it nearly impossible to miss a glimpse of people’s selfie videos, as they use everything from truck beds to coolers to salad bowls to store the iciest water they can find, and then pour it over themselves.

The point is to experience a moment of freezing, lightly mimicking the paralyzing symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is designed to raise awareness and money for a rare and once little known disease. Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It attacks the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, eventually causing many patients to become paralyzed before it eventually kills them. The idea behind the fundraising campaign – which went viral in August – is to dump the ice water and donate money to ALS organizations and then challenge others to do the same. Sounds great, right?

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse For some reason, however, the campaign has found critics ranging from magazine writers to movie stars.

They accuse participants of vanity and “slacktivism,” the latter because the ice bucket dumping can be done in lieu of a donation.

Maclean’s magazine published a scathing article describing people’s participation in the campaign as misguided. Guest contributor Scott Gilmore argued people should donate money where need is greatest, where their dollars will have the greatest influence and where there is an urgent problem. He goes onto point out that ALS is already overfunded, in his opinion, given that it only killed slightly more than 6,000 people in the United States last year.

But Gilmore’s arguments are rooted in irrelevancy.

First, the idea that we donate money

only where need is greatest would leave many Canadian-based charities – hospitals, homeless shelters, educational institutions – without any legitimacy as fundraisers, given they all fall under the category of wealthy, First World institutions when compared with those in the developing world.

Second, the idea that funding for medical research be based on dollar per death makes no sense. It may be the case, for example, that because ALS is so rare and there are few treatments, it requires more extensive funding than, say, cancer or heart disease.

Finally, Gilmore’s argument against donating to ALS is premised on the notion that people are donating to research for this disease at the expense

of other charities – say, ebola outreach efforts in Africa – which is not necessarily the case.

Many people are donating – or by doing the challenge without donating, creating awareness – in ways that they have rarely done before.

In other words, they’re not sacrificing their church tithes or their hurricane relief donations in order to give ALS organizations a boost.

People donate when they feel engaged. The ice bucket challenge has captured the attention and imagination of hundreds of thousands of people.

Who cares if it’s largely a vanity exercise, or an opportunity for people to showcase their creative talents in DIY video production? The challenge has made people care, for just a minute, about a disease they’ve possibly never heard of and one they may never consider again.

R0402496643

For whatever reason – vanity, interest, the desire to be part of a community – people have chosen to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

As far as I can tell, it’s a win-win.

The campaign has raised more than $100 million for the ALS Association in the U.S in the summer months, up from $2.8 million over the same period last year.

By viewing ALS research as unworthy, wishing charity dollars could be diverted elsewhere, and accusing people of slacktivism, it would seem only real slackers are the critics. Instead of capitalizing on the inspiration of this campaign, they are content to act as armchair commentators.

Why not get out there and come up with your own brilliant fundraising schemes?

Until then, let ALS have its moment in the sun.

Binge Drinking: A Major Worry for Many Parents.

Heading off to college or university is a life changing experience for both the student and the parent. You try to prepare them for all situations, however, you know that during those first few weeks, your son or daughter will be introduced to new challenges which can include pressure to party hard and drink lots of alcohol.

It is well known that alcohol abuse is common on college/university campuses. Over 52 thousand, 19 to 24 year olds report binge drinking at least once every month. This behaviour likely contributed to the 780 alcohol related emergency room visits by 18 to 25 year olds in Ottawa. Excessive alcohol use can lead to alcohol poisoning, addiction, injuries, risky behaviour including drunk driving, unintended sex and even violence. A few drinks isn’t usually a problem, it’s the harms associated with drinking a lot of alcohol in a short time that can be quite serious, if not deadly.

As a parent, you may be asking yourself why this happens. Unfortunately many students believe that binge drinking and drinking games are a normal part of the campus socializing experience. Although many young adults who are entering into college/university life may have had prior alcohol experience, they often over-estimate how much alcohol and how often their friends are really drinking; believing five to 10 drinks, three to four times a week to be the norm. The reality is that the majority of students drink far less alcohol and less often. This misperception of what constitutes an average drink is what reinforces binge drinking behaviour. Combine this misperception with positive pressure to drink, and your son or daughter may end up drinking much more than they are used to.

really will hear your advice, keep talking. Believe it or not, what you say does influence their behaviour.

Try to keep the conversation going, letting them know you care and want to help.

Top 10 tips for safer Drinking 1. Going to a party; set your limit before you leave 2. Pace yourself when drinking 3. Alternate with beverages that are non-alcoholic; mocktails are great alternatives 4. Hold a glass of any kind in your hand; others won’t bug you to get another drink 5. Don’t mix the type of alcohol you drink 6. Pour your own drink; helps you track how much you are having 7. Don’t get sucked into drinking games; no one wins 8. Never leave your drink unattended 9. Stay with the same group of friends 10. Arrange a safe return home ahead of time.

Intoxicated walking isn’t a safe choice

If you haven’t had conversations yet about alcohol, it’s not too late. Start by talking about how alcohol affects If you would like more information, please call your body, tips for drinking safely and how to handle the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at school pressures.

Ottawa kids set sail for adventure on Ottawa River Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - There is nothing quite like getting out on the water with nothing but a sail, some wind and your skills to guide you.

That’s what 10- to 13-year-olds have been learning at the Kanata Sailing Club’s junior sailing program this past July and August.

This year, the sailing club offered four weeks of Can Sail 1 training at their headquarters on the Ottawa River off of Sixth Line Road for interested YMCA-YWCA National Capital Region campers at Camp Otonabee, as well as one week available for Girl Guides.

The clubs partnership with the YMCA has lasted for four years and continues to grow, while this is the ďŹ rst year the club has partnered with Girl Guides of Canada. “The program is going quite well,â€? said Emily Durward, the club’s head sailing instructor.

During the program, children learn the basics of sailing, including safety, rigging and sailing techniques like

tacking where a sailor maneuvers their boat in a zig-zag pattern to move in the direction the wind is blowing.

The program takes a hands-off learning approach when students are on the water, placing them each in one-person dinghies to learn ďŹ rst hand how to deal with the wind, other boats and sail safely. “They are only going to learn one way,â€? said Durward during one of the last days of the program on Aug. 29. “To get in and do it.â€?

However, Durward and another instructor are never far away, watching from a nearby dock with a motourboat at the ready.

It’s in exciting and different experiences for young sailors, said Cole Joseph-Aubin and Jahleena Chambers, both 11-year-olds in the program. “It’s really fun,� said Cole, who said he wanted to try the sailing program because it was something new.

Jahleena agreed, saying she tends to take part in music and art-related subjects, but wanted to try sailing for something different.

Kanata Sailing Club finishing up season of youth sail classes Continued from page 13

Neither had been in a sailboat before starting the program, but both learned to rig and sail small sailboats by themselves, under Durward’s watchful eye.

“You sit down on one side of the boat and it feels like you are going to tip the boat and you know you’re not,” said Jahleena, who added she particularly likes rigging boats.

Cole, on the other hand, likes the speed and finding the perfect angle to the wind to really get going, he said.

“I find it very creative,” he said, considering how hot a day it is, which way the wind is blowing and how to get up to speed.

Part of the learning process is messing up once in a while. Cole said he ended up being stranded for a few minutes once when his boom fell off.

The young students tend to be ea-

ger to get out on the water and don’t always think things through, said Durward. For the most part, that’s been a good thing, she said.

“They teach me a lot more stuff probably than I teach them,” said Durward. “They are very fearless, so they try new things all the time. They come up with new methods, which is good.”

The chief difference between teaching adults to sail versus kids is that the adults tend to think things through before making a decision, whereas the kids just go for it, she said.

The biggest reward for kids learning how to sail early in life is when and if they continue sailing into adulthood, said Durward.

“Sailing is a long-term sport,” she said. “You can do it all your life.”

And it’s not just a sport, she said.

“You are learning a skill. You are using an element that is out of your control,

The research findings by the Be Sweet to Babies Team, which is led by Harrison, is captured in a video that is said to be the first of its kind.

“For very sick or pre-term babies, who can have 100 or more blood tests during their hospitalization, this is a lot of time being distressed,” said Harrison, a nurse and midwife with extensive clinical experience in neonatal intensive care. “Research has shown that such high numbers of painful

procedures are harmful for sick or pre-term babies.”

Breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact and giving babies small amounts of sugar water or sucrose have been found to be simple yet effective strategies to soothe and manage pain. Still, through Harrison’s research, she has found that these are not often used in Canada or elsewhere in the world.

The research team hopes parents who are expecting a baby will see the video and advocate to use these techniques when their wee one arrives.

Parents can also find the experience very stressful.

“Sometimes the baby is taken away from the parents for their blood test, so the parents know something is happening to their baby, but they don’t know exactly what, and they can feel powerless not being there to help their baby,” Harrison said.

An English version of the video was first to be posted to YouTube to coincide with World Breastfeeding Week earlier this summer. A French version was uploaded next. A Portuguese video is in the works, which will be used as part of a study in Brazil with Harrison’s research partners.

There are also plans to translate the video into Inuktitut, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin and Hindustani.

Parents of older babies can also benefit from a YouTube video posted by the Be Sweet to Babies team last October demonstrating pain-management strategies during immunizations. There have been more than 55,000 visits to that video.

News - A defined vision for a new Main Library branch is needed to make the project a success, according to library board chairwoman Jan Harder.

Harder wants to make the proposed project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for which no construction money has been set aside â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a major civic priority in the next term of council. But first, the city and library board needs to identify exactly what it wants out of the new branch. After receiving a report in July listing more than $40 million in upgrades renovations needed to make the current Metcalfe Street branch viable, the library board voted down all the renovation options and decided to look instead towards a public-private partnership for a new central library.

Before it can get to that point, the Ottawa Public Library was set to hear on Sept. 8 that $188,000 will be spent for a consultant to draft a detailed plan outlining what the library is looking for, the goals, general location and business case for partnering with a private business or landowner to creFILE ate the new branch.

The Ottawa Public Library will spend $188,000 on a study to define See STUDY, page 19

what it wants to get out of a potential future partnership with a private firm to build a new main library branch.

Study will help assess opportunities for public-private partnerships come forward,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Around 10 individuals or firms have already approached Harder personally to express interest in the idea of partnering to build a new central library.

Harder would like to see the board hire a company with experience in public-private partnerships and expertise in defining project scopes.

After that plan is done, Harder is focused on not letting it sit on a shelf. Although the library has no money for a new build â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or even the renovations that were originally

suggested â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pushing the issue to the forefront if she is re-elected in the Oct. 27 municipal election.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when city council will define its new list of priorities for the term of council, and Harder wants to see a new central library on that list.

This term of council, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural capital plans have been focused on finalizing a plan to redevelop Arts Court. The library is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next large, civic-purpose project that the city will move forward on,â&#x20AC;? Harder said.

On Aug. 27 police said in a press release he had been charged with four counts of harassment by repeated communication with a person, and one count of mischief to data.

Those charges are in addition to the other charges laid earlier this summer.

Harder said the framework for such a partnership needs to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;crystal clearâ&#x20AC;? so interested partners will be able to put together appropriate bids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to be a significant project and we want to give them a clear vision of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we pull this off in the way I envision, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to provide broad opportunities and interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(A plan) will help us understand the opportunities that

Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; treatment centre gets funding boost to cut wait times erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Griffin Walker was just six months old when his parents, Dan and Jennifer, began navigating what continues to be a complex path to meet the special needs that come with being diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

The bulk of the 10-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care has been provided by the Ottawa Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treatment Centre, which celebrated an announcement last week that it will be one of 21 childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment centres in Ontario on the receiving end of an additional $5 million to tackle wait lists and expand access to physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy.

In addition to providing that funding, the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services is also contributing an additional one-time investment of $1.25 million to the centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some families who are in trouble, that have a hard time, that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the kind of support that we have managed to build up over 10 years,â&#x20AC;? Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, Jennifer, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are at the peak of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available and there are many other families that do not have it like we do and they struggle a lot more than we do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tricky, and this is tricky enough,â&#x20AC;? the Faircrest Heights resident said.

The Ottawa centre will receive a $400,000 cut of the $5million pot, and about $62,500 of the $1.2 million contribution.

Tears well up in Jenniferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes when she thinks of families in a similar position as hers, but who may be just beginning their journey in trying to access supports for their children.

Tracy MacCharles, minister of children and youth services, said during the announcement on Aug. 27 she has heard repeatedly from families that wait lists for services remain an obstacle, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more the provincial government can do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge source of stress and frustration for families. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why this $5-million investment will hopefully â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I think it will â&#x20AC;&#x201C; significantly reduce wait times for services and increase the number of

young people who receive this very important support,â&#x20AC;? she said via live webcast from Sudbury, which was broadcast inside the Ottawa centre, located on Smyth Road, before a large crowd.

The money will allow 2,000 more children throughout the province to access the specialized supports they need across all of the centres.

Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre serves more than 3,700 kids each year, including Griffin, at five sites from south Ottawa and Kanata to Renfrew and Cornwall.

The investment will help an estimated 500 more infants, children and youth each year circumnavigate long waits for core services, which range from three to six months.

Access to some specialized treatments and therapies as well as to diagnostic services from physicians and psychologists can take between eight months and a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you can imagine if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a very young child thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been identified as needing therapy, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long time,â&#x20AC;?

Anne Huot, the Ottawa centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of client programs and information, said following the announcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer you have to wait with a little one â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ideal.â&#x20AC;?

After turning to the Ottawa Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treatment Centre when their son was a baby, the Walkers connected with a social worker, therapists and a funding resource worker.

While their hurdles in navigating such a complex system are fewer almost 10 years later, the couple feels better with last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding announcement because it means improved quality of life for many.

The Walkers are currently waiting for their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new wheelchair, a custom-made device that needs to be updated as Griffin grows and his health changes. Acquiring the new chair is an eight-month wait, and the provincial funding will help reduce delays, Jennifer said.

Waiting is stressful for parents who have recently learned their child has special needs and who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anywhere

else to turn, said Barbara Juett, a social worker at the Ottawa centre.

Social work at the centre is one of the first services families rely on to connect to other supports as well as work through the feelings and emotions they are experiencing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So being able to have access in a quick way relieves a lot of the stress for the parents,â&#x20AC;?

Juett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all very scary. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a path that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not familiar with, and nobody else you know is going through it so we want to make sure parents connect with other parents too.â&#x20AC;?

Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents remember all too well the overwhelming process when they first brought Griffin to the centre when he was a baby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Griffin is our first child and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any different, and all of a sudden thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something significantly wrong,â&#x20AC;?

Jennifer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very isolating,â&#x20AC;? added Dan, Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you can think about is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong.â&#x20AC;?

Local acts to shine alongside major stars at Ottawa Folk Fest Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - When Spencer Scharf steps on stage during one of Ottawa’s largest music festivals in less than a week, his audience will witness a transformation of sorts.

The 20-year-old Findlay Creek resident and musician is anticipating once again bringing his blend of folk rock, blues and roots to crowds that gather at Hog’s Back Park for the 20th anniversary of the Ottawa Folk Festival.

“I certainly get really into ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND when I’m playing, and, in Findlay Creek resident Spencer Scharf, 20, will be performing his blend of folk rock, roots fact, some people have told and blues on stage during the Ottawa Folk Festival, which takes over Hog’s Back Park in me it’s like I’m 20 years older when I’m performing on south Ottawa Sept. 10 to 14. stage,” said Scharf, who first played a Yamaha keyboard at age two, picked up a guitar for the first time at age nine and began performing for the public when he was just 13.

“It’s my demeanor, my poise and my attitude up there.”

The outdoor musical extravaganza kicks off Sept.

10 and will feature free and paid programming of almost 70 acts over the course of five days on several stages, including Lorde, Serena Ryder, Blues Traveler, Foster the People, Joss Stone, We are Monroe and children’s entertainers The Wiggles, among others.

Scharf will perform a free one-hour set at the Craft Beer House stage on Sept. 14 at 5 p.m., but earlier that day at 1 p.m. he will join children’s entertainer Fred Penner in a Pete Seeger tribute show on the Slackwater stage.

Audiences can expect to see Scharf to perform on numerous instruments, including several guitars – an electric, as well as 12, eight and six strings, a slide and a bass – and a ukulele, banjo, mandolin, harmonica and the keyboard.

Many of these are featured on his third and brand new CD, I Can’t Hide, which features blues, bluegrass and pop.

As well as being a oneman band, Scharf, who is studying music performance at Carleton University, is known for his ability to play by ear and for have perfect pitch. He first played Bluesfest when he was 16.

Performing for the public is an experience that keeps Scharf pushing himself musically.

“I feel great because the audience is enjoying it, I’m enjoying it,” he said of the experience. “It’s a lot of fun and it’s also fun to be diverse in terms of my song selection.”

“That’s when we looked at each other and went, ‘This kid is like a prodigy.’ He’s an absolute genius.”

A.J. SAUVE

While offering a diverse range of music to appeal to a variety of tastes at the Ottawa Folk Festival is important, part of the event`s mandate is to offer outstanding folk music and support the local music scene.

Of the local performers, including Scarf, that are booked to play, organizers were drawn to their talents as artists rather than to their hometown addresses.

“We booked Spencer Scharf not because he’s an Ottawa guy or a local band – and it’s the same as other local acts – we book them on the merits of their talent, and they happen to be local and that’s just great,” said festival spokesman A.J. Sauve.

Scharf first came on the ra-

dar when he took part in the Ottawa Bluesfest’s inaugural Be in the Band program, through which aspiring musicians are mentored.

“That’s when we looked at each other and went, ‘This kid is like a prodigy,’” Sauve said. “He’s an absolute genius. So he definitely merits being booked at any festival.”

Spencer and several more emergency Canadian artists have also been chosen to compete in the Galaxie Rising Star Supernova competition as part of the festival for a chance to win financial support. Online fan votes will count for 50 per cent of the results, and the rest will come from a jury.

Folk music remains a highlight of the festival, though the Ottawa Bluesfest team has worked hard since taking over the event in 2011 to expand the genres offered.

As a result, the Folk Fest has grown, attracting 20,000 in 2011, about 30,000 in 2012 and approximately 50,000 last year.

“It’s very good thing for a folk festival,” Sauve said.

“The programming is what spoke to people.”

Organizers are already forecasting an even bigger crowd during the musical showcase which launches in a matter of days.

“This year we’re already ahead of last year’s (advance ticket) sales by 20 per cent,” said Sauve. “So we’re forecasting an even better crowd.”

The Ottawa Folk Festival takes place at Hog’s Back Park, located at 601 Hog’s Back Rd. For a full schedule of acts and to cast a vote in the Supernova contest, visit ottawafolk.com. To learn more about Spencer Scharf and to vote for him in the competition, visit spencerscharf. com.

MOTORCOACH HOLIDAYS

A DAY AWAY Watertown, NY Shopping

The road less travelled Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Forty days, 800 kilometres and a whole lot of faith: that was Aileen Lamont’s world for the better part of the summer as she walked from southern France to the northern coast of Spain on a personal pilgrimage.

The 60-year-old Greely resident left St. Jean, France on June 21 and hiked over the Pyrenes mountains into Spain. She didn’t let up until she reached Santiago de Compostela on Aug. 6.

Lamont walked an average of 20 km a day, passed Roman-era churches and took in countless pastoral views of European countryside steeped in rich culture, history and faith.

“For me, it was very spiritual,” Lamont said. “There were so many, many moments when I would just fall into prayer.”

Lamont was walking the Way of St. James, a pilgrimage to Santiaga de Compostela where Jesus’ apostle St. James the Great is said to be buried, to mark her 60th birthday as well as the 125th anniversary of All Saints Anglican Church on Parkway

Road. Also called the Camino Frances, the pilgrimage has been used since the ninth century, and was one of the most important pilgrimage routes in the Middle Ages. Today, the route is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts thousands of pilgrims each year.

Lamont’s aim was to raise $8,000 for the church, which faces mounting maintenance bills.

“I am very blessed and I have more than I need in this life, so I thought what a way to give back to my community, my spiritual family,” Lamont said.

She embarked on her pilgrimage alone, but the well-worn trail offered up plenty of friends to help her along the way.

Spiritual journey through Spain supports Greely church Continued from page 26

And she, too, was given a chance to help her fellow pilgrims. Early in her journey, she came across a woman from Slovenia who was struggling down a steep hillside because of a knee injury. Lamont and her friend Monica helped her down the hill and into a nearby village.

Sympathetic passers-by gave her their first aid equipment, and the two women stayed with her until she was safe.

That show of community gave Lamont comfort when she found herself on lonely country paths, having taken the road less travelled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may have walked alone, but you were never alone,â&#x20AC;? Lamont said.

Some days were certainly a challenge. Be-

ing summer, the heat could be nearly unbearable, particularly on a steep incline or on the flat meseta tablelands famous for their stark and unyielding countryside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was challenging, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where prayer kicked in,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve maybe got two to three km to go that day, but you know St. Christopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading the way and St. Anthony is looking after your health. It occupies your mind.â&#x20AC;?

One day she came close to giving in to temptation, when a poorly marked sign had taken her a few kilometres out of her way on a particularly stifling afternoon.

Knowing she was running low on water, she made it to the main road and decided she would hitch-hike the last four or five km into

the village. As a car came along, she waved at it as she had seen others do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the universal thumb-up didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to apply â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the driver simply waved in return, with a big smile, and kept driving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, that served me right for trying to skip the last four km,â&#x20AC;? Lamont laughed.

She also struggled to keep her temper in check when faced with the realities of the modern pilgrimage; not all walkers on the Camino trail are there for spiritual reasons, and some had a tendency to blare their music just as she was taking in a particularly moving scene.

But there were other sounds that filled her with joy: pilgrims openly praying on the trail, for example, or the buzz of a bee which, being so secluded, was the only thing in earshot.

Lamont reached the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on Aug. 6 alongside two women she met on the road, Christiane and Armelle, both from France.

It was a celebration of sorts, but also a sombre moment for pilgrims to embrace the statue of St. James the Great and visit his crypt below the church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the road, you embrace death,â&#x20AC;?

Lamont said.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until a few days after she had arrived home to Greely and got her walking sticks out for the first time that she came to realize

what her journey had really been about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The camino is a metaphor for life,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all come from different backgrounds, and we walk the road. We have choices, we are given obstacles ... you have down moments and euphoric moments, too.

And you meet people on the way who become your friends, and some try to take advantage of you, and some you leave behind.

You share meals and laughter and tears; you look after each other, and ... you come to embrace death at the end of a well-journeyed life.â&#x20AC;?

And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken home some more mundane lessons, as well, such as the weight of carrying water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a fact Lamont has come to realize many women in the world know all too well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have such an admiration and appreciation for women and children who have to fetch and carry water,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be supporting potable water and community well projects as a result, she said.

And she had some practical advice for future pilgrims: pack lighter than you think you should, and go at your own pace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take time to smell the roses,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guidebook says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stop, focus, choose.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Donations in support of Lamontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey can be sent to All Saints Anglican Church at 7103 Parkway Rd. in Greely.

Ottawa women secure Aussie football championship for Canada Staff

News - Athletes on one of two Canadian womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national teams returned home last week the champions of the international Australian football championship.

The Northern Lights senior womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team beat out Ireland, the defending champion, during the final game of the two-week competition on Aug. 23, making the Canadians the 2014 winners of the Australian Football League International Cup, held every three years.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time a Canadian womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has won the prestigious cup.

Several female athletes who play for the Ottawa Swans Football Club had been named to the team, including Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay resident Emma Dickinson, Old Ottawa East resident Holly Costanza, and Montreal residents Kelsey Martin and sisters Margo and Aimee Legault.

Costanza was scheduled to play during the two-week competition, but suffered a partially torn knee ligament just prior to leaving for Mel-

bourne, Australia. But her teammates rallied around her and she travelled with the team to cheer them on.

The women were among 11 players from the Swans club named to three national teams that competed on the international stage.

The North Wind menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team

also achieved record standings by coming out victorious against Tonga and securing fifth place overall, a record achievement for the team.

Team members Centretown resident Nathan Strong, Kanataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Kozlowski and Ronan Shaughnessy of Montreal also play for the Swans.

The Canadian womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development team, the Midnight Suns, lost out to the U.S. in their final game, but celebrated a fourth-place finish overall. National team athletes Lisa Dalla Rosa and Roberta Kramchynski, both residents of downtown Ottawa, and Montrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emily Legault also

play for the Swans.

Yet another highlight of the international tournament, which attracted teams from 17 nations, saw three Swans players selected to compete on the all-star menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world teams, including Strom, Dickinson and Aimee Legault.

New professional dance studio opens in the Glebe Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Glebe has just gained its first professional dance studio.

The new sprawling space, KV Dance Studio is located at Third Avenue and Bank Street and is being spearheaded by former Glebe Neighbourhood Activities dance instructor Kailena Van De Nes. A labour of love, Van De Nes put down her dance shoes and put on some steel toe boots to help make her dream a reality.

“I have been here every day since I got the keys in July,” she said.

New to working in construction, Van De Nes said she learned quickly and helped out where she could, adding it was important to her to participate and help get the studio ready for the fall.

Van De Nes has more than 27 years of training in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, contemporary and a variety of ballroom styles and the 30-year-old said teaching dance wasn’t always her dream.

Originally she wanted to be a pilot, but it when she moved to Ottawa nine years ago and started teaching dance at the Glebe Community Centre, she said she realized all she wanted to do was teach dance.

“Being in a class with a threeyear-old and getting hugs when they accomplish something is so rewarding,” Van De Nes

said. “Seeing my older dancers achieve success. I stayed with GNAG because of that feeling. It was teaching dance that I realized I could make a career out of this. Every time I come to work, I feel it’s important. I know it’s bad, but you get real attached to the kids. They all have an impact on me.”

The studio is nearly complete, with only a little work left to do, and even though the doors will not officially open until Sept. 2, it hasn’t stopped Van De Nes students from hanging out and helping out at the new studio.

In fact, on any given day, Van De Nes said at least four or five students will be there.

“It’s important to know that most of the girls have helped me build this studio,” she said.

“They helped with painting, sweeping and even shopping for me while we have been under construction.”

The girls said the idea of having a professional space, as opposed to taking classes at the community centre was a huge motivator to help.

“I just wanted to be just as involved as I was at the community centre,” said Niamh Taylor, a 16-year-old dancer. “When you would tell people your dance classes take place at a community centre, people would judge you. This is a more professional space. It means a lot.”

Other girls added this new space already feels like home.

Van De Nes said when she

decided to create her own studio she said the one thing that was most important was staying in the Glebe.

“I made my real estate agent understand that I needed to be close to where I was teaching before,” she said. “I also knew how important it is for the community for me to stay in the neighbourhood.”

Her students agreed.

“This is walking distance from my house,” said Robin Scheeren.

In the nine years Van De Nes taught at the Glebe Community Centre, her classes grew from a recreational program of a few classes into a real dance school with 70 classes for dancers aged three to adult.

Going from teacher to studio owner Van De Nes said was a big step.

“It’s terrifying,” she said.

“But the way I see it, is if my students see me take a huge step in my career, maybe it will give them confidence to reach their goals too.”

The young dancers said Van De Nes is the best teacher they have had, crediting her for their individual success in the profession.

“She helped me get into Canterbury’s dance program,” Taylor said. “In fact, she has helped 10 girls get into Canterbury.”

“The first class I took I felt welcome,” said Clare MurrayLawson. “She is like the mother of our family.”

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

The Glebe’s new professional dance studio, KV Dance Studio, already has created buzz with young dancers. Not even open until Sept. 2, many of owner and dance instructor, Kailena Van De Nes’ students visit daily to help with the renovations of the new space.

Some of the girls who already frequent the dance studio will be instructors once it opens, Van De Nes said.

“I work really hard to have a great relationship with each child,” Van De Nes said. “I feel like I’ve done my job passing

my passion for dance to them.”

Lasers Editorial Coverage

Player of the week # 26 James Thomson - D Height: 6’3” Weight: 190 lbs Shoots: Right

As young men growing up in the West-Ottawa area, hockey was a significant part of our childhood. The Kanata Lasers Jr. A Hockey Club was an integral part of our lives. It provided us and many other young players with a high-quality hockey program that was close to home; a team where we could hone our skills locally before making the jump to the Major Junior, College and Professional Hockey levels. The Lasers organization has had more alumni reach the NHL level than any other Junior A program in the CCHL. Playing for the Lasers was a crucial stepping stone in our personal development, in our hockey careers and in helping us achieve our dream of playing in the NHL. The connection between the team, fans and community was a vital aspect of the team’s successes and its championships. The community was extremely supportive through their spirited attendance of the games and local businesses were equally generous. As players, when we were not at the rink, we were often out in the community volunteering at local schools, charities and fundraisers. The connection between

the team and community was of mutual benefit, as players we felt a particular sense of obligation to give back to the community and return the support they showed us on the ice!

We feel a great sense excitement knowing that the Kanata Jr. A organization has readopted the “Laser” team name and is going to re-establish the strong community ties it once had in the area. The combination of an exciting on ice product paired with a rekindled community involvement will create a rewarding experience for the players, fans and community as a whole.

As the Lasers reposition the organization as a community asset, we encourage your sponsorship of the Lasers organization. Your support will have a positive influence on both the club and the community and be a great source of advertisement for your business.

Thank you for your generosity and support!

Inaugural police award goes to El-Chantiry News – Ottawa Police Services Board chairman Eli ElChantiry is the first recipient of the Emil Kolb Award for Excellence in Police Governance.

The new, national award, presented by the Canadian Association of Police Governance, was created last year to recognize individuals for their significant contributions, commitment and leadership towards the enhancement of civilian police governance in Canada.

The West Carleton-March councillor, who is also deputy mayor, was recognized Aug. 23 at the 25th anniversary conference of the Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG) in Halifax.

The Emil Kolb Award is named in honour of the longserving chair of the Regional Municipality of Peel and the Peel Regional Police Services Board.

“I can think of no person more deserving of this very first Emil Kolb Award than my good friend and colleague, Eli El-Chantiry,” said Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson in a news release announcing the award presentation. “Deputy Mayor El-Chantiry has served many important functions as a member of our city council and none is more critical than his long-standing dedication to policing in our community and across the country.”

“I am deeply honoured to receive the first-ever Emil Kolb Award from my colleagues in the police governance community, especially because of the utmost respect and admiration I have for Emil Kolb,” said El-Chantiry. “His retirement later this year after more than 50 years of public service will be a tremendous loss to his own community in Peel Region and also to police governance in Ontario and

Canada.

“I am very grateful to the CAPG Award Committee for selecting me for this significant tribute and want to thank the CAPG for its work in advancing excellence in police governance,” he added.

El-Chantiry has served on the Ottawa Police Services Board from January 2003 to the present, with a six-month break in 2007. He has been the board’s chairperson from October 2005 to December 2006, and from January 2009 to the present.

He is a past member of the board of directors of the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards, and currently serves on the CAPG’s policing & justice Committee.

In the award announcement, he was described as an outspoken advocate for change that would enhance police accountability and address fiscal challenges.

Metcalfe soldier’s letters make way to digital world Emma Jackson

News - In this modern age, no good piece of gossip takes very long to make its way across social media.

One hundred years ago, the best bits of hometown news could take days to reach the front line, where thousands of young Canadians were living a daily nightmare in the trenches of the First World War. Like many soldiers, Metcalfe’s own Private Elmo Sully kept up a steady stream of letter writing to his girl back home, Fannie Iveson, a fellow student at Metcalfe Continuation School.

Those 100-year-old letters have now been collected into an interactive website and print collection, called Private Sully Goes to War, in an effort to help modern-day students connect with their hometown history.

Project lead Jane Cooper said the letters are surprisingly accessible.

“It’s a high school boy writing to his girl,” said Cooper. “They’re written in a very young voice.”

They’re also fascinating for the details they reveal and conceal about his experience.

“You can sense a lot of self-censorship,” Cooper said.

“He didn’t want to tell Fannie the nasty stuff.”

That ‘stuff’ includes some of the bloodiest battles of the war: the Battle of the Somme and Passchendaele.

Instead, many of Sully’s letters focus on town gossip and events, including how much he’ll miss the now-defunct Ottawa Exhibition.

“Do you remember a certain day of the Ottawa ex. last year; my suggestion, that I might be in kharki by exhibition time this year came quite true. ... I hope you are able to ‘take it in’ this year,” he wrote to Fannie on Sept. 16, 1916.

Gossip ran rampant through his letters: who was dating who, who had gotten top marks in Latin, and, perhaps most importantly, who had enlisted.

In many ways, this front line postal system wasn’t so different than Facebook or Twitter today, Cooper said.

“I was fascinated at how often they wrote to each other, and how quickly the letters got to each other,” Cooper said. “They’re social networking. It’s just the technology that’s changed.”

It’s changing in the schools, too; textbooks are becoming an outdated resource, and students are demanding digital media in the classroom.

To this end, Cooper has partnered with Osgoode Township High School teacher David Way to develop an interactive website that will

help Grade 10 history students connect with Sully and his friends Duff Crerar and Ross Campbell, who lived in their own village 100 years ago.

Several media and design students at Algonquin College helped the pair design a tablet-friendly website complete with scans of the original letters, typed transcripts, photos of Sully and his friends and even a map and timeline of Sully’s whereabouts during the war.

“The website is all about being able to be very interactive,” Way said. “It becomes less abstract, and it goes beyond the textbook.”

Cooper said the book has been in progress since she found the letters in the Osgoode Township Museum nearly 20 years ago. She thought then that she would turn them into a book, but it was only at the end of 2013 when Metcalfe resident Margaret Rivard had transcribed the letters that Cooper decided it was time.

She did hours of research into Sully’s regiments so she could fill in the gaps of his whereabouts and experiences to create the book.

But it was clear that to become a success it would need to be a digital creation first and foremost.

“The book becomes a teaser for the website,” she said.

News - The four pedestrian bridges in Bilberry Creek Park have been closed this year, but there will be a solution in the near future for residents who enjoy the walking trails.

The bridges have been closed because the foundations are in poor condition and there are slope erosion problems, said Ziad Ghadban,

The re-opening of the bridges is scheduled for this winter.

According to the city website, the project budget is $250,000 and was stalled due to delays with the permit process which then delayed the tendering process.

Pedestrians who want to use cross Bilberry Creek can cross at Des Epinettes Avenue which is located about 500 metres south of the bridges.

the east manager of design and construction for the city.

“Significant work has been completed to determine the cause of the issues and design solutions to re-open the structures,” he said in an email through the city’s communications department.

The construction is set to begin this month and expected to completed by the end of December, weather depending.

Tenants test council candidates on housing issues News - Bed bugs and cockroaches are just two problems tenants of rental properties in south Ottawa are fed up with, but negligent landlords top their list of complaints when it comes to their living conditions.

For that reason, more than two dozen tenants last week tested council candidates, vying to represent Alta Vista and Gloucester-Southgate, on their proposed strategies to improve housing conditions.

Herongate is still recovering from past neglectful landlords, said longtime Herongate resident and renter Mavis Finnamore, who wants better enforcement of bylaws to hold property owners accountable.

“It has actually been difficult in some cases to get bylaw officers out to look at your

place,” said Finnamore, who has accompanied bylaw enforcement officers during property inspections.

“I want them to hire more bylaw officers because I know they’re overloaded,” she said during the Aug. 28 questionand-answer forum at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre on Walkley Road, where members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, aired their concerns.

The members, many of whom are living in rental properties, say landlords across Ottawa are discriminating against low-income families in refusing to provide them with a safe and healthy place to stay in exchange for rent.

Posters lined the walls demanding healthy homes and depicted pictures of dead rodents and substandard living conditions.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Herongate resident Mavis Finnamore was among several tenants who asked council candidates what measures they would take to improve living conditions in rental properties managed by neglectful landlords. Four candidates from Alta Vista and GloucesterSouthgate wards participated in the Aug. 28 forum at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre.

ACORN members are lobbying for stricter bylaws to cap wait times in order to speed up repairs to urgent housing issues. They also want negligent landlords to be slapped with expensive fines.

When asked whether the candidates, if elected to council, would spend money to hire more bylaw officers, Clinton Cowan said he would get behind the creation of a team of property standards specialists to accompany bylaw officers to help make infractions and fines stick.

In addition to implementing stiffer monetary fines, the Alta Vista candidate said he also wants to see quicker turnarounds to ensure housing issues are resolved more quickly.

“If you’ve ever been in a home where the heat’s gone out, where your water’s (run) cold those are the longest nights of your life,” he said. “When you’re doing it five days a week, six days a week it’s abusive and it has to stop.”

Applications for police records checks and vulnerable sector fingerprinting on a walk-in express basis are no longer being accepted at police headquarters.

Express police checks bumped to west Ottawa from downtown Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Express service for criminal and police records checks and vulnerable sector fingerprinting is no longer available at Ottawa police headquarters downtown.

The walk-in express service has been moved to the Ottawa police administration building at 2670 Queensview Dr. in west Ottawa in an effort to consolidate administrative services, said Const. Chuck Benoit, spokesman for the Ottawa police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a new location where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of administration that has moved to that building,â&#x20AC;? he said of the gradual transition that has taken place over the past few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So a lot of departments are working from there, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to assess, prob-

ably better serve the people that need it.â&#x20AC;?

While the move was not spurred by the number of applications being absorbed by the downtown site, that location was handling a significant number of requests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at anybody who volunteers, anybody who teaches, anybody who has anything to do with sports with kids or with seniors,â&#x20AC;?

Benoit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big city so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many venues that need to have that records check, also people applying for jobs.â&#x20AC;?

The express service started up at the new location on Sept.

2. Vulnerable sector fingerprinting services are available Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and requests for police records checks can be made during the regular work week from 7:30 a.m. to

5:30 p.m.

While the Queensway site is further west, it still provides convenient access for many residents and is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;well-placed building,â&#x20AC;? said Benoit.

Five Ottawa police locations will continue to process criminal records checks and accept applications for police record checks on a non-express basis.

The service is available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in downtown Ottawa at 474 Elgin St., in Kanata at 211 Huntmar Dr., and in OrlĂŠans at 3343 St. Joseph Blvd.

That same service is also available Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in Nepean at 245 Greenbank Rd., and in Leitrim in south Ottawa at 4561 Bank St. For more details, visit ottawapolice.ca, or call 613236-1222, ext. 5485.

Promote your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-conďŹ dence through sports and martial arts games in a Sportball class. The program introduces basic skills such as balance, large muscle development and body awareness.

Playing individual and team sports can help children develop social skills and raise self-esteem. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks Recreation and Cultural Services department offers many classes that provide these beneďŹ ts and more for any child looking to learn skills for life.

The journey to higher self esteem, for some, begins and ends with martial arts.

You can register for a variety of martial arts classes from the more familiar practices such as Karate and Judo, to the lesser known ones such as Kendo, Capoeira and Aikido Yoseikan. In addition to building conďŹ dence, martial arts are known to promote physical ďŹ tness, discipline, respect and self control.

Participating in sports and exercise is a great way to acknowledge a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa police officer Const. Wayne Smith directs a cyclist to detour around a section of skill development within a supportive the Rideau River Eastern Pathway at Vincent Massey Park not far from where a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was recovered from the Rideau River by the police marine, dive and trails unit on environment, and provides positive social relationships with teammates Aug. 26. Major crime investigators have determined that foul play is not suspected. and coaches. Consider ball hockey, basketball or the Saturday morning sports club for a unique team experience.

Foul play ruled out after womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body pulled from Rideau River erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Ottawa police have ruled out foul play in connection with the death of a woman whose body was recovered from the Rideau River in south Ottawa last week.

Major crime investigators began leading the investigation and were initially treating the death as suspicious after a passerby walking in the area discovered the completely unclothed remains of a 31-yearold woman on Aug. 26 around

10:48 a.m.

The police marine, dive and trails unit was called in for the recovery in the waters off the Rideau River Eastern Pathway in the park, just south of the OTrain bridge, and across from Carleton University.

The announcement that foul play was no longer suspected came following the results of a post-mortem examination on Aug. 27 that was conducted to determine the cause of death.

Police went back to the site to scour the area for evidence on Aug. 27.

More than sports Not into the sports scene but still want to move? Children can also expand their creative scope and gain conďŹ dence in their abilities through jazz dance; or, improve balance, coordination and selfesteem through Irish dancing. How about cheerleading for a different kind of team activity?

The 90-metre section of pathway was cordoned with police tape blocking access to cyclists and pedestrians after ofďŹ cers were initially called to the scene. Police directed several pedestrians and cyclists to detour around the area.

Several marked and unmarked police cruisers remained at the scene for several hours, and paramedics were at the site as a precaution, said Const. Chuck Benoit, police spokesman.

The womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity will not be released by police.

Candidates tackle housing issues in south Ottawa Continued from page 37

Alta Vista candidate John Redins, who campaigned earlier this year for a provincial seat to represent Ottawa South, said current bylaws need more teeth.

“Right now (landlords are) just getting a slap on the hand.”

Gloucester-Southgate candidates Brad Pye and Mohamed Roble both said more money isn’t needed to fix the problem.

“Everybody wants to throw money at a problem, but it doesn’t actually answer the problem,” said Pye, adding that bylaw officers have to do the job they are hired to do, and the city solicitors’ office should also step in.

Tenants also need to hold council, among parties, accountable.

“In order to get the problem in hand you have to have leadership on that,” Pye said.

Mohamed agreed, saying that having city council on the side of tenants is key to tackling the issue.

Rats, bed bugs, cockroaches that plague apartment complexes and other rental properties across the city are evidence of years of neglect, tenants say.

Redins, who lives in a highrise apartment building in Herongate agreed. His apartment had just been sprayed for bed bugs and another spray is scheduled to tackle the cockroach problem.

While the property owner has made progress in improving properties in the area after years of neglect from a previous management company, “problems are still persistent,” Redins said.

Councillors need to take a leadership role and ensure minimum standards are enforced in order to ensure homes are healthy, said Pye, who was in Herongate recently for a meeting and saw a rat in the tenant’s hallway.

“How do you feel when you live in a place like this?” he asked.

Wait times for property repairs should be prioritized to ensure the more severe problems are tackled within 24 hours, he added.

“If you’re talking about heating, if you’re talking about ventilation or air conditioning during the summertime it has to be at least 24 hours at a maximum,” he said. “After that, however long the problem takes, it should be required as what would normally be required out in the public sector.”

When asked by tenants what the candidates would each do within the first 30 days of taking office, Roble said a long-term strategy is needed and would likely take longer than a month to implement.

Showing up to meetings should be a priority for elected councilors, said Redins, who criticized absent councillors and other candidates for not attending the housing forum.

Pye also said it isn’t about what can be accomplished within the first month of office.

“Thirty days is a drop in the bucket,” the candidate said, adding that a public housing strategy needs to be developed to fit the needs of tenants.

“Some of you have small children and you’re living in conditions that are despicable by any standard and if people knew that they would be here

tonight,” Pye said.

Tenants frustrated by stonewalling landlords also sought answers from candidates on strategies that can improve their living conditions.

Engaging residents, building awareness, “that’s where it starts,” said Roble, who lives near Heatherington.

Accountable leadership and partnerships among landlords, the community and bylaw officials are key, said Pye Redins pitched the idea of creating a website that would allow tenants to rate their landlords and air concerns about living conditions.

“It’s got to come online so we can see who these trouble landlords are so people can make their decisions on where they want to live,” he said. “I’ll push for that to get online.”

Cowan, vice-president of the South-East Ottawa Com-

munity Health Centre, pointed to an initiative that began in Ledbury-Banff neighbourhood several years ago that has helped improve safety and the health of the community over time..

The No Community Left Behind strategy has since been replicated across the city as “a model of care,” Cowan said.

Though tenants at the meeting also raised issues around public transit and improved lighting in high-traffic areas, it was a candidate who raised the topic of crime.

“It’s the biggest single issue in Heatherington,” Pye said, but added that his own neighbourhood of Hunt Club Park is not immune to violent crime.

When it comes to eradicating crime, improving properties and advocating for higher rental housing standards, tenants need know their rights in order to successfully implement change, said Pye. “I encourage you all get educated about the process,” he said.

Getting fully prepared for first day back at school

T

his would be my second year at the Northcote School.

I had passed out of Primer Book, much to my delight and my brother Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complete surprise.

He told me on more than one occasion that I would be in the lowest grade for at least three years I loved school, and I loved Miss Crosby, even though I held her in great awe. She never played favourites, and often her patience was tried to the limit with both Cecil and Emerson in the same class. But she ruled with an iron fist, and her word was law at the Northcote School, let me tell you.

I could hardly wait to get to school on that first day back in September. We five children had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and we had on our next-toSunday-best clothes, those that we wore into Renfrew, or to the Saturday night house parties. Not our very

MARY COOK Memories best, but a step up from what we would wear after that very first day back to school.

Writing was still beyond me, but I was able to print, and days before we were to go back to school, I had printed out all the rules I had learned the year before. I had sat at the kitchen table, and with the help of my sister Audrey, I refreshed in my mind, all the dos and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts Miss Crosby insisted on.

I had to remember to stand at my desk, feet firmly planted on the floor, to answer any question asked by the teacher. It was con-

sidered very disrespectful to stay in your seat.

And there was no slumping over your workbook. You sat up straight as a die.

No passing notes or whispering allowed, and you never, ever, left your desk without permission.

When the inspector came to the door, without rapping usually, just brazenly walking in, you immediately got out of your desk, and stood at attention until told to sit down. (The inspector was someone to be feared -- even Miss Crosby held him in awe. The inspector was right

up there with a member of the local police force).

You had to be prepared for desk-drawer inspection without notice. So your books better be in perfect order: the scribblers on the very bottom, and the reader and spelling book on top.

And no chewing on your art gum. That order was especially for Cecil who was known to demolish his art gum before the first week of school was over.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think of going to the pail of drinking water on the bench at the back door without asking permission.

You asked permission for anything you needed or wanted to know by raising your right hand. Never your left hand, which apparently meant something entirely different. That was a challenge for Cora who was naturally left-handed, but she soon got onto raising her right hand when Miss Crosby ignored her otherwise.

And the second Miss Crosby appeared on the stoop outside the school, and rang the big brass hand-bell, you lined up like soldiers. The smallest at the front of the line, and the biggest at the back.

It had nothing to do with what grade you were in. It had everything to do with how big you were, so I was always the first in line, and even though he was not even in Senior Fourth, my brother Emerson, as big as

any man on the Northcote Side Road, was always the last in the line.

And of course you never went into the school after being â&#x20AC;&#x153;rung inâ&#x20AC;? and immediately sat down. You stood perfectly still until Miss Crosby came back in, went up to her desk, and nodded permission.

There seemed to be no embarrassment in asking to go out to the privy.

Humane Society preps for 26th annual walk Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

This year’s Ottawa Humane Society annual charity walk, the Wiggle Waggle Walkathon will take place on Sept. 7.

News - The Ottawa Humane Society is gearing up for their annual Wiggle Waggle Walkathon on Sept.

7.

This is the charity’s 26th annual walk and one of the only ones in the country to include a three-kilometre companion run, where participants are able to bring their four-legged friends along.

Natalie Pona, a humane society spokeswoman, said the goals for the annual fundraiser – the society’s biggest – are $40,000 for the run and $160,000 for the walk.

So far, pledges are at about 25 per cent of the goal.

“We really start to see the numbers go up in the last week leading up to the event,” Pona said on Aug. 28.

Last year – the companion run’s inaugural year – there were 2,500 participants.

The companion run is a three-kilometre route from Juliana Park and Queen Elizabeth Driveway. The walk can be one or three-kilometres and takes place around Commissioners Park on Queen Elizabeth Driveway.

Supporters can register for the walk with a donation of $25. People walking with dogs they adopted from OHS can register for $20 and a family pack registration is $40.

Pona said aside from the walk, there will be kids’ activities, a pet pavilion and other entertainment onsite.

“It will be a lot of fun,” she said.

The annual fundraiser helps the humane society provide for the more than 10,000 animals they care for each year.

Lyme disease can’t keep Manotick baker down emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Veronique Ayling has been dreaming of her own cupcake shop for the better part of a decade.

The Greely resident grew up in the Laurentians baking with her grandmother, but instead of opening her own shop she joined the Canadian Armed Forces, where she works in its investigations unit.

But since the start of a lengthy battle with Lyme disease she and her husband have decided it’s time to finally chase her dream. Ayling will make the goodies, while businessminded Mike will manage the books.

After six months of planning, V’s Cupcakes opened its doors on Manotick Main Street on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

The vintage-inspired shop will sell as many as 20 cupcake flavours on weekends, with staples available throughout the week. Wedding cakes, cookies, brownies and scones will also line the shelves, and Ayling said she plans to cater events, as well.

“We’ll be unbeatable as a team,” said Mike. “I’ve tested more cupcakes than I can count.”

But the new store is just icing on the cake as the Ayling family tries to conclude a terrifying chapter of their life.

Exactly two years before opening her shop, the fit, energetic mother of three suddenly found herself barely able to function.

She was dizzy, thirstier than she’d ever been before and drop-dead tired – unheard of for the “energizer bunny” who did crossfit workouts sometimes twice a day.

“It really happened overnight,” said the 39-year-old.

After two days struggling to get through her days at work, she went to the military hospital, but the doctor didn’t recognize the signs for what they were: Lyme.

The doctor refused to prescribe antibiotics, and Ayling’s health continued to decline. Countless tests, including physical tasks to measure her failing heart, were unable to shed light on the cause.

“I went through hell and back during those tests,” Ayling said. “I thought I would die on the spot, some of them.”

She even tested for Lyme, but the results came back negative – as many falsely do, according to a Health Canada bulletin.

By November 2012, Mike was demanding antibiotics for his wife.

“I’m watching her health going down and down, and one morning I remember looking at her in bed and she was beyond pale,” he said. “I thought, my God, I’m watching my wife die.”

Finally, a doctor agreed to give her a month-long course of antibiotics, followed by a second.

By early 2013 Ayling was feeling more energetic, but her heart function had plummeted below 40 per cent.

Intensive rehab got it back up to 51 per cent, but poor heart functionality is a reality Ayling still faces today.

“I don’t think I will get back to where I was, because my heart was attacked,” she said. “The damage is irreversible.”

Having recovered as best as possible but still unsure what had caused her illness, Ayling returned to work that August, a year after Lyme took hold.

She was feeling almost back to normal by the time January 2014 arrived, and she and Mike started planning the cupcake shop.

The couple was busy taking trips to Montreal and Toronto to buy specialized equipment for the shop, but Ayling was becoming more and more fatigued.

“By April, I couldn’t drive my car,” Ayling said.

She was back to square one. She continued planning her shop on her laptop from bed, between long naps and periods of mental fog.

“I was able to do a lot online,” Ayling said. “My best friends were my legs.”

But the many doctors she saw didn’t have nearly as much faith in her illness as her friends.

“Some doctors will look at you and say it’s all in your head,” she said.

That is, until she discovered Dr.

Maureen McShane.

The US-born doctor lives in Montreal, but opened a practice in Plattsburgh, New York in 2009 to treat Lyme disease patients.

McShane had contracted Lyme herself, and was appalled to discover doctors in Quebec wouldn’t treat her – and she wasn’t the only one.

“Patients who had seen the same doctor for 25 years said ‘I have Lyme’ and they just said, ‘I don’t want to see you anymore,’” she said.

The problem, McShane said, is that there have been two standards of care for treating Lyme: an older one that simply allowed doctors to treat Lyme as they saw fit, and another from the Infectious Diseases Association of America, which says Lyme shouldn’t be treated long-term. This recommendation comes from a series of cases in which patients failed to recover after long-term courses of antibiotics, McShane said.

“The issue is they did these studies and said these people did not improve, but they did not give them high enough doses of antibiotics or the right combination of antibiotics, and they did not treat co-infections,” McShane said.

Lyme can compromise the immune system, allowing old illnesses to reoccur and severely complicate treatment, she said.

In Canada, several prominent doctors have lost their medical licenses for prescribing antibiotics for longer than the standard one month period, despite the fact that Lyme can take two or three years of antibiotic treatment to fully cure.

Until this June, when the New York senate passed a bill protecting doctors from persecution based on their treatment methods, McShane was risking her medical license every day to treat the approximately 950 Lyme patients currently in her care.

Ayling will start seeing McShane in September, abandoning the Canadian health care system to pay out of pocket over the border – as much as $10,000 a year if extra costs like travel, time off, tests and lifestyle changes are factored in.

She finally got a positive Lyme test from a lab in the US this June, and has started antibiotics once again.

She said she just hopes McShane can continue the progress she’s made over the summer as she relishes the opening of her bakery.

“It’s been a heck of a road,” Ayling said, noting her dream business is more than just cute cupcakes. “Mike and this business is what kept me alive.”

There was no question it was the right thing to do.

“It’s a real moral issue,” McShane said. “When I got it, my whole world changed and there was a doctor willing to risk his license to treat me. So how could turn around and not do the same thing?”

McShane takes a holistic approach, demanding her patients eat clean – preferably gluten-free, as many Lyme patients develop gluten intolerances – and prescribing herbal and vitamin supplements alongside effective antibiotics.

She said she fully believes that even the most drastic, chronic Lyme cases can achieve a 100 per cent recovery on this plan.

Police look to identify persons of interest in shooting Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit are turning to the public for help in identifying two persons of interest and two vehicles possibly connected to an early morning shooting last month at a Hunt Club housing complex.

Police released three images of two males wearing sweatshirts, dark pants and sneakers walking along a street.

The grainy, black and white images, made public on Aug. 29, show one man with shoulder-length hair that covers much of his face as he looks down. The other man’s face is somewhat obscured by the hood of his sweatshirt.

Two additional images depict two vehicles – a Mazda Tribute and a Chevrolet Cobalt coupe with a spoiler – stopped side by side.

The images were captured on video surveillance tape at the Quarry cooperative housing neighbourhood at 3275 McCarthy Rd. near Paul Anka Drive, where several residents woke to the jarring sound of gun shots around 6 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17.

Five bullets ripped through three homes – two units had sleeping occupants inside, while the third was vacant.

No one was injured or killed in what the head of the police guns and gangs unit say was a targeted attack.

“We have five spent casings and one that’s not spent – it’s still live,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden told The News in the days following the shooting. “But they’re all 9mm.”

Of the three homes that were hit, police are still working on the theory

that the shooter intentionally fired at the unit where a mother and her young child were sleeping in an upstairs bedroom.

“That was, we believe, the intended target, that residence, but not necessarily those occupants,” Bryden said at the time.

Since then, investigators have been fleshing out their theory the shooter was targeting the previous tenants.

“Whoever pulled that trigger was looking for a certain person or a group of people,” Bryden said. “That’s the neighbourhood where the intended victims were supposed to be.”

Street-gang members and their associates are known to reside or hang out in the neighbourhoods around Hunt Club Road, Paul Anka Drive and McCarthy Road.

Dave Brown and his wife Carol were sleeping upstairs when bullets shot through the attached vacant house and into their bedroom where they were sleeping. Bullets also ripped through their ground-floor living room.

The shots didn’t wake them up, and Carol was stunned to learn there had been a shooting when she went out to walk the dog a couple of hours later.

“I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” she said. “I turned white. I had to sit down when I found out it wasn’t a drill hole, it was a bullet hole. I’m still shook up about it.”

In the wake of the gun violence, the Browns were resolved to remain in their neighbourhood, which they have called home for about 35 years.

But they expressed concern that the Hunt Club area has gone downhill

over the years.

“I’m not concerned with (my) safety, but (the area has) gotten bad in the last 15, 20 years,” said Dave.

“Too many non-desirables have moved in ... to the whole area.”

Anyone with information on the persons of interest or the vehicles is asked to call the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050, or Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477.

New college president to focus on enrollment, student retention Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - As part of her first president’s breakfast at Algonquin College, the new leader Cheryl Jensen said she would spend her first 100 days listening.

Jensen, who officially began her term on Aug. 25 – four days after the college’s annual president’s breakfast on Aug. 21 – said she will take suggestions from students, faculty, staff and community members about which areas they’d like to see the college focus on.

Jensen said she’d like an increase in student participation in orientation, as boosting term-to-term retention from 86 to 87 per cent.

She said she’s excited with the gains the school has made in the last year. Just over the summer months there have

“We want to do everything we can so when the 9,000 new first year students walk through our doors, they feel excited and supported,” Jensen said.

To help meet that goal, Jensen pledged to create a student

success strategy and said she planned to work with community and international partners to move the college forward.

As part of her strategy, Jensen said the college would host two town halls in the fall, where community members, staff, faculty and students

“It’s you (faculty) who help students to succeed and overcome the challenges of college,” Miller said. “It’s your blood, sweat and tears that make sure every student leaves here with a life-altering experience.”

Aside from a commitment to student success, the college also pledged to help the community through the announcement of their annual United Way Campaign – which has raised more than $1.3 million since 1999, according to Jeremy McQuigge, chairman of the fundraising campaign.

McQuigge said this year’s campaign will run from Oct. 10 to Oct. 31. While the college hasn’t put a dollar figure on this year’s goal, McQuigge did say he hopes to get employee participation up to 50 per cent and double the number of canvassers from last year.

“I was honoured to be chosen for this position,” Jensen said. “I truly believe this is the best college in Canada.”

As part of the college’s path to improvement, Jensen said she would work with industry partners to develop the most up-to-date curriculum to address the needs of employ-

ers and help students get jobs after they graduate.

Jensen also pledged to support the Students’ Association priorities for the upcoming year.

Christina Miller, the SA president, said the association would work on transportation and parking issues at the college’s Woodroffe, Perth and Pembroke campuses.

Miller also said the SA administration would work with the city to work out a tentative agreement for a UPass similar to the agreements in place at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University.

A referendum will be held on a UPass agreement in the winter term, Miller said.

Other priorities the board identified were improving the quality of the student experience, exploring international study opportunities and providing support for the college’s digital 2.0 initiative.

Sens rink bound for Laroche Park in Ottawa west Community - Already a focal point for the Mechanicsville community, Laroche Park will soon boast another good reason to visit.

Next spring will see a multipurpose Sens RINK installed in the park, paving the way for year-round sports and programming. The RINK program (Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids) is an initiative of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which has partnered with sponsor Trinity Development Foundation for this effort.

The project was announced on Aug. 28, two weeks after the opening of the city’s most recent Sens RINK in Bayshore Park. The goal of the Sens Foundation is to locate 20 rinks in underserved neighbourhoods throughout the capital region.

Sens RINKs can be used for hockey and skating in the winter, and basketball, ball hockey, and numerous other activities during the warmer months.

Programming is provided by the city.

“It’s great they’re doing this,” said Mechanicsville Community Association president Blair Simser. “This is going to be a great addition to the park.”

Laroche Park is undergoing a planned transformation, brought about by the community design plan created for Mechanicsville last year. Visioning exercises attended by community members crafted a revitalization plan for the park, of which the Sens RINK plays a large role.

The plan was put on hold as the community waited to see whether the Sens RINK would be awarded to Laroche Park, but now it can go ahead, said Simser.

“Now, I think we can move forward and come up with a new set of plans,” said Simser.

“I think there will be a lot of carryover … It’s a big park with plenty of room.”

The plans for the park included a revitalized rink (now replaced by the Sens RINK), as well as a renovated and expanded field house, a sports field, an updated splash pad, walking paths and upgraded lighting.

Trinity Development Group is a commercial property developer that regularly makes contributions to educational, recreational, cultural and health programming in Ottawa.

After decades of little change, a slew of development proposals in 2012 put the neighbourhood of Mechanicsville back on the radar of the city, and led to the resurrection of the community association.

The CDP and associated park plan was a reaction to the development pressure. A plan for the currently vacant Bayview Yards land – which is adjacent to Laroche Park – was also crafted at the same time.

“During an April, 2013 visioning exercise for Laroche Park held by the community association … the number one desire that came out of it was a paved rink surface,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs.

Hobbs said she had hoped the rink would move forward sooner, but a necessary envi-

ronmental study pushed the decision date from April to August. Methane gas bubbles from an old dump regularly damaged the ice surface at the old rink -- fixing the problem came in at a lower-than-anticipated cost of $60,000.

“We got this information last Friday (Aug. 22),” said Hobbs.

“We’ll know from the parks department where the rink will be located so we can move ahead with other elements of the park.”

The enlargement of the field house might be accomplished by a special, dedicated fund (in April 2013 it was reported that Richcraft Homes offered this as a community benefit), however, it isn’t known if this offer is still on the table.

The city’s parks department will fund the other park improvements.

The planning for the park was done in parallel with the city’s Sens RINK agreement so that everything would be in place if Laroche Park was chosen for a project location.

“This (announcement) means that the Sens will come and do a practice at Laroche Park, and kids will have the opportunity to have programming offered by the city,” said Hobbs.

“Players will come to summer picnics and winter carnivals – that’s what you get when a community receives a Sens RINK.” Because of the need for new changing facilities at the park, especially now that the rink is finalized, Hobbs said she will look into the possibility of having both projects take place at the same time.

Volunteers gather more than 1,500 backpacks for start of school Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Thanks to the donation of 420 more backpacks, the Caring and Sharing Exchange will be able to outfit all the families on their waiting list with the supplies they need for school.

Volunteers gathered at the Accora Village Recreation centre on Aug. 25 packing 1,520 backpacks with the supplies Ottawa students will need for the start of school. The charity runs assistance programs for families in need, including a Sharing in Student Success program.

The program provides children in need with grade-appropriate stuffed backpacks.

The need is rising according to spokesperson Megan O’Meara, who said last year’s demand reached 1,292 children.

This year, the increase is nearly 20 per cent, with a total of 1,520 children on the list.

There were 420 left on the waiting list before Giant Tiger stepped in and donated 420 backpacks.

The Canadian retailer donated an additional 500 backpacks a month earlier.

“Words cannot express the relief I felt when our friends at Giant Tiger offered to donate the additional bags for all the children on our waiting list,” Cindy Smith, executive director for the Caring and Sharing

Exchange, said in a press release. “The backpack itself if the most expensive item given to each child, and although we still need help to fill all of these bags, our goal of helping all the children on the list is once again within reach.”

Giant Tiger is a long time supporter of the charity and gives financial and in-kind donations to the Sharing in the Student Success Program, as well as the nearly 100-year-old Christmas Exchange.

Jennifer Smith, a first-time volunteer, said she was surprised at how streamlined operations were as she busily filled backpacks.

“It seemed overwhelming to find out we had to stuff more than 1,000 backpacks in two days, but it’s all gone really smoothly,” she said.

Angela Kemp, president of the Ottawa Fund for a New Generation Gala, said the organization – which hosts an annual gala at the Canadian War Museum every April – donates money to the program every year.

This year, they donated $5,000 to the student program.

The exchange is just one of the organizations that receive funding from the gala. The not-forprofit gives money to the Youth Services Bureau, the Door Youth Centre and the Ottawa Network for Education’s school breakfast program.

Lowertown to paint the pavement Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Students from De La Salle Secondary School designed the paint the pavement project for Lowertown East. The angel in the middle of the design is aimed to act as a protector for all the children who use the street to get to school. tunity to work closely with Lowertown,” Millington said. “There are already strong ties with Sandy Hill and Lowertown. This was an opportunity to engage outside of our own neighborhood with partners who we have shared interests with.”

The design was created by art students from De La Salle High, who were provided with a number of ideas related to Lowertown for inspiration.

At the centre of the design is the image of an angel -- based on the book Angel Square -- which is set in Lowertown in the 1940s and was

written by Bryan Doyle.

The painting will be led by De La Salle teacher Grant Holmes, a local muralist who has completed a number of community painting projects. Holmes’ students will act as team leaders for the day’s painting event.

The teams will be made up of students from Sainte-Anne, Collège Samuel-Genest and York Street Public School, as well as residents, parents and teachers will be volunteering.

Getting ready for the big day, Millington said she is really excited.

“It’s been really phenomenal. We

have had tremendous support from all partners involved,” she said. “I think it will be great.”

Millington said she truly believes this will create pride in the neighbourhood.

“I think Sandy Hillers are happy to see this happen because it’s reflecting

News - This month an angel with wings will appear at the end of York Street to help brighten up the deadend road in Lowertown.

Part of the city’s Neighbourhood Connections Office Paint the Pavement project, the Lowertown Community Association, Action Sandy Hill, and three area schools, De La Salle Secondary School, York Street Public School and Sainte-Anne Catholic School, will be painting a mural on the street this Sept. 12 to help beautify and promote community pride.

Initially the idea was to place the pavement mural at the intersection of Chapel Street and Beausoleil Drive.

That is why Action Sandy Hill became involved, said board member Suneeta Millington.

“ASH initiated the project because we thought the project would serve as a traffic calming measure at the base of those streets,” she said.

Millington added that children from three different school boards and a daycare walk past this spot every day, making it a high foot traffic area.

When the group found out the area was not well suited for the paint the pavement project, they began looking a little more eastward, to the dead end of York Street.

“ASH stayed involved because we thought it would be a great oppor-

that they care about what is happening in Lowertown and it connects the neighborhoods,” she said. “In Lowertown, this is another element that is starting to make the area better, reclaiming this space and saying, ‘Hey this belongs to us. It’s ours and we take pride in it and we care about it,’ and I think it’s a message that should be resonating. This is a place where people care and are engage.”

Neighbourhood Connections Office is funding the project.

One of the main criteria for the Paint the Pavement project is that the chosen spot has to be on a quiet residential street that doesn’t have a bus route -- which means a street that sees fewer than 2,500 vehicles pass through in any given 24-hour period.

The reason for limiting the paintings to calmer streets is to limit the amount of wear and tear the murals will have to endure. The proposed design can’t cause driver confusion or imply any visual narrowing of the road or a tromp d’oeil effect -the creation of realistic imagery such as a hole in the road. It also can’t include any words or logos, as well as images that evoke traffic symbols, as that could cause safety concerns. Locations must be supported by the community, particularly the owners of the properties abutting the painting. More information about the project is available on the city’s website, ottawa.ca.

Ottawa spa to give heritage home a makeover

Charmaine and Jon Cianciullo, owners of the Peppermint Spa on Rideau Valley Drive south of Manotick, plan to open their new location in the Weaver House by December. board of directors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to put it out at a price that would get some interest.â&#x20AC;?

The sale closed Aug. 18.

Two other properties have also been sold to local developer Joe Princiotta, and Moffatt expects those agreements to close by September.

Princiotta purchased the Ayres Building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; currently occupied by Rural Ottawa South Support Services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as a vacant property on Clapp Lane, on which he will build an independent living centre.

Dickinson House and the Carriage Shed had no successful bids during the request for offers process, and will likely go back on the market in early 2015 once the MMQCDC board reassesses its sales strategy, Moffatt said.

Moffatt said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to see Weaver House getting fixed up for the betterment of

the village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a pre-existing client base from all over, and

News - Owners of a local spa hope to extend their beauty services to their new location.

The vacant, city-owned home known as Weaver House in Manotickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dickinson Square has long been in need of a makeover.

Charmaine and Jon Cianciullo have already started the process, clearing brush from around the building and parking lot at 1131 Mill St as they prepare to give the heritage home the dash of lipstick it deserves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has so much charm, when you look past how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been neglected,â&#x20AC;? Charmaine Cianciullo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to bring it back to its former glory.â&#x20AC;?

The couple currently run the Peppermint Spa out of their family home on Rideau Valley Drive south of Manotick. But by Dec. 1 the pair hopes to be fully operational in the heart of the village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited to join in the community events like Dickinson Days and Taste of Manotick,â&#x20AC;? said Cianciullo, who is an aesthetician by trade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has been so welcoming.â&#x20AC;?

The spa uses all-organic ingredients to make its products on site. Right now, the home-based spa canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accommodate groups or even pairs for some services, but once the Weaver House location opens the owners can offer party services and better scheduling for clients. The spa will also have an acupuncturist and a naturopath working from the building throughout the week. Cianciullo is looking to add a holistic nutritionist to the roster, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treating the body as a whole and bringing health

back to the beauty industry,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The city accepted the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to purchase the house this spring after another business ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to install a Christmas store fell through.

The city has been trying to sell or lease five properties in Dickinson Square since it purchased them in 2007.

The Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation, owned wholly by the city, has a mandate to recover the $2.1 million spent to acquire the properties (including a lot on the northeast side of the square that cannot be sold for development).

For the past two years, the corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board has been consulting with residents, community groups and business leaders to determine what the village wants to see in the square.

Last summer, the city sought requests for offers on all five buildings. Successful offers had to conform to strict criteria, including minimum bids and a proven ability to manage a business or organization inside a public heritage square.

Weaver House was originally sold to Orleans businesswoman Lorna Challis, who planned to open a yearround Christmas store in the building. But personal circumstances prevented the sale from closing, so the property went back on the market for 30 days in May. The city did not require a minimum bid in the second listing, and the home sold for $349,000 rather than the original $400,000 asking price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We determined to go out a little bit lower,â&#x20AC;? said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Osgoode candidates gather for youth meeting Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – It was less a question of policy than of personality at an allcandidates information session hosted by the Osgoode Youth Association on Aug. 26.

Eight of nine candidates registered to run in Ward 20 this fall came to the youth centre to explain their platforms and encourage young people to use their voice at the polls.

Candidates Tom Dawson, George Darouze, George Wright, Jean Johnston-McKitterick, Davis Jermacans, Liam Maguire, Bob Masaro and Kim Sheldrick all attended the event. Candidate Bruce Faulkner cancelled at the last minute.

Each candidate had five minutes to talk about themselves, their background and their platform in this fall’s election that takes place Oct. 27.

Each candidate took a slightly different approach to addressing the youth audience, but when it came to youth policy, most of the candidates were generally aligned.

They all agreed that transportation to programs and activities outside of the ward needs to be improved, but that full OC Transpo service to rural villages is not the answer.

They all wanted to see more recreational facilities in the ward, either through an extra ice pad, a swimming pool or more support for the youth centre they were standing in. Maguire was adamant that the cost of playing sports must be reduced to increase accessibility, while Dawson and Sheldrick wanted to see a splash pad in the ward.

Several councillors mentioned the need for a youth advisory council that works with the new councillor to bring youth issues to the forefront, and others noted the importance of making sure Osgoode Ward gets its fair share of attention – and funding – around the

council table.

And they all agreed that youth must be engaged in the process.

The meeting was not a debate; rather it was a chance for voters aged 18 to 30 to see what candidates can offer them.

While the room was packed, many of the spectators ended up being adult supporters of the candidates, rather than youth.

However O-YA director Nicole McKerracher said she was impressed with the number of people who turned out.

“It was hard to know what to expect,” she said. “At the end of the event I was sticking around and I heard lots of good feedback from the youth themselves. They were chatting about how much more informed they felt about the process and the candidates.

The event had given them lots to think about.”

Program co-ordinator Carley Scharf also felt the youth were energized by the chance to chat with candidates and get to know them on a personal level.

“I think for young voters it’s not only about the policy, it’s about the person,” Scharf said. “You can get someone with great policy but who isn’t relatable, isn’t down to earth.”

She said she heard youth chatting about which candidates had made a good impression, and which ones had fallen short – and several young people said they were reconsidering their original choice.

“We even had a couple of kids under 18 who said, ‘I’m going to go home and tell my parents to vote for this person, because that’s who I want,’” Scharf said.

The candidates will tackle policy platforms relating to the entire community at several all-candidate debates this fall.

The first is scheduled for Wed., Sept.

24 at the Metcalfe community centre.

City council candidates for Ward 20 await the start of an all-candidates meeting at the Osgoode Youth Association on Aug. 26. From left, Bob Masaro, Davis Jermacans, Jean Johnston-McKitterick, Liam Maguire, Kim Sheldrick, George Wright, George Darouze and Tom Dawson.

The Osgoode Community Association will host a debate on Wed., Oct. 1 at the Osgoode community centre, and Greely Community Association will host another the following Wed., Oct. 8 in the Greely community centre.

TEACH ME HOW TO DOUGIE

Outgoing Coun. Doug Thompson opened the event with a short presentation about the role of a city councillor.

“There’s no apprenticeship for this job,” said Thompson, who has been involved in local politics for more than 30 years. He will retire this fall after decades of leading Osgoode Township as councillor and mayor. “Whether we

like it or not, politicians do have a great deal of power. There’s a huge responsibility that goes with this job.”

He told the candidates to expect hundreds of calls and emails from residents asking about everything from garbage pick-up to road issues to neighbour disputes.

Thompson said a personal response is the best way to relieve tension in the community, and recommended the new councillor keep on top of brewing issues in order to deal with them effectively.

He also recommended that the next councillor try to help their residents with issues even when they’re not in the councillor’s jurisdiction.

School bus issues, for example, are not a councillor’s responsibility, but residents bring the problems to the office anyway. Helping them navigate the system to get in touch with the right person goes a long way in making a good impression, Thompson said.

“People appreciate it when you take that extra effort,” he said.

Thompson said, most of all, a candidate must make informed decisions at council or face the lasting ramifications of their error – something he said the current council is dealing with through the botched Orgaworld contract.

“A politician lives and dies by their vote,” he said. “You can make changes that have a lasting impact.”

News - Double gymnasiums, fitness rooms and six new classrooms have been added to French Catholic high school Franco-CitĂŠ in south Ottawa at the cost of $7 million.

The grand opening on Aug. 29 marked a unique milestone for the secondary school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The addition of these gymnasiums makes Franco-CitĂŠ the secondary school with the largest number of gymnasiums in Ontario,â&#x20AC;? the French Catholic school board said in a statement.

Franco-CitĂŠ, which offers grades 7 to 12 for almost 1,300 students, is also one of a handful of schools in the province to offer a sport-study program.

The secondary school is located off Smyth Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (east central French Catholic school board) strives to provide its students with an environment commensurate with their ambitions, challenges, and dreams,â&#x20AC;? school board chair Denis Poirier said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The addition of these new gymnasiums will motivate them to continue excelling and developing.â&#x20AC;?

The funding for the expansion project came from Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ministry of Education and through a partnership with the Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club.

Add an exotic touch for the lunchbox Lifestyle - Are you and your kids fed up with insipid lunches? Is your family threatening to strike over the perennial ham and cheese sandwich with carrot sticks? Are they pleading for money to eat at the school cafeteria? Are you spending most of your own pocket money on snack bar meals? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t despair!

It is possible and easy to make your lunches more diverse and appetizing.

First of all, get ready to step out of your comfort zone of sandwich, veggie sticks, and an apple or banana. An easy way to create variety is by changing the kind of bread you use.

Trade in traditional sliced bread for Indian naan bread or half a pita bread. Try adding a new kind of cheese to sandwiches; feta is a delicious salty cheese that many young people discover they like. You can also prepare rice or vermicelli salads with ďŹ nely diced raw or leftover vegetables and a yummy vinaigrette.

Check the weekly specials at the grocery store; when berries or unique fruits and vegetables are on sale, give them a try. Sliced zucchini makes a nice substitute for cucumber, and avocado halves eaten with a spoon out of the shell make a creamy, healthy vegetable alternative.

Try mixing ďŹ&#x201A;avours to add novelty to familiar foods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; put

Lifetyle - Lice: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re microscopic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; barely 0.33 cm long â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but they are able to strike terror into parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hearts. If this is a nagging worry for you at the start of another school year, it might give you some relief to learn some of the myths and realities surrounding lice.

If even that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, talk to your pharmacist or public health nurse about how to prevent or treat head lice.

Lifestyle - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework. Imagine what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like for them, after a whole day of school!

Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework. With the following strategies you can make this obligation more fun for everybody. â&#x20AC;˘ Play school with your child.

Find yourself a little desk and let your child pretend to be the teacher, and ask them to show you how to write out her spelling words.

This is especially effective if you create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackboardâ&#x20AC;? with a piece of paper taped to the wall. â&#x20AC;˘ Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your son or daughter might have difficulty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow them to stand up, and ask them to say their multiplication tables while throwing you a ball. â&#x20AC;˘ Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for every 15 minutes of concentrated effort (or any other ratio that works). â&#x20AC;˘ Invest in some educational computer software that will help your child feel excited about learning grammar, math, and

other subjects. â&#x20AC;˘ Exchange privileges for achievements.

For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if he or she can finish their math homework in fewer than 15 minutes.

Timing them will increase their concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be discouraging. â&#x20AC;˘ List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child

pick the next task to tackle.

Include a surprise note, on which might be written â&#x20AC;&#x153;take a ten minute breakâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;enjoy a second story at bedtimeâ&#x20AC;?; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs. â&#x20AC;˘ Be encouraging rather than stressed out.

Congratulate your child for good results and be positive about future attempts.

Most of all, help him or her to feel proud of their efforts.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

desirable nature.

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

DEVASTATING EFFECTS

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects.

Victims can experience an inordinate amount of inse-

curity, 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and only one case is too many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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?

Victim or witness: nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time to act.

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 un-

Bomb squad investigates suspicious package at FedEx building Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - The police bomb squad investigated a suspicious package at the FedEx building near the Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport last week.

Ottawa patrol officers responded to 130 Thad Johnston Pvt. on Aug. 29 at 10:33 a.m.

FedEx employees were evacuated and the street was closed for more than two hours until the police chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives unit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also known as the bomb squad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gave the allclear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The package was deemed safe and not a threat and has been dealt with and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve re-entered the building,â&#x20AC;? po-

lice spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit said following the incident which wrapped up around 12:48 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The package seemed suspicious from what it contained through handling it, so as that progressed â&#x20AC;Ś it was deemed (by FedEx staff), â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ok, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll step aside because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it is and we (need to) let the investigators take care

of it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Benoit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So police were called.â&#x20AC;?

Benoit did not know whether the package was being shipped to someone or if it was in a box or suitcase. Neighbouring buildings, such as First Air, did not have to be evacuated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they would have (required) more measures of safety then they would have made bigger arrangements for other

buildings to be evacuated,â&#x20AC;? said Benoit.

The incident was the second time in about a month that emergency responders were called to the FedEx site.

The Ottawa fire departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hazardous materials response unit was called there on July 28 after a customs workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes came into contact with an unknown powder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the second

call to that building in about a month.

During that incident on July 28 the Ottawa fire departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hazardous materials response unit was called to the FedEx building after a customs workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes came into contact with an unknown powder.

The substance, which was in a package, was later determined to be non-hazardous.
