Raid may have foiled shooting: police Seven arrested, shotgun recovered from home Adam Kveton

Police arrested seven people on Feb. 2, after receiving information that there were guns in a house in Glen Cairn that were going to

According to a neighbour of the Castlefrank Road residence where three of the seven arrests were made, police used a megaphone to demand that someone with-

The neighbour, on Facebook, identified the house in question as 159 Castlefrank Rd., noting that there was a large police presence.

TIP OFF

After receiving information that there might be guns in the house, police conducted surveillance on the residence, said Sgt. Josh Pulfer with the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit.

“We believed that those guns were going to be used in a shooting Tuesday night,” said Pulfer.

Fearing imminent danger to the public, the police breached the house without See CAR, page 4

Police believed a shooting was being planned by people in a house in Glen Cairn on Feb. 2, and raided the home, resulting in seven arrests and more than 30 firearm charges. The house was identified as being 159 Castlefrank Rd. by a woman on Facebook who claimed to be a neighbour.

a warrant and arrested three of the seven individuals who had been in the house, he said.

Police found a shotgun and several shotgun shells, resulting in police laying more than 30 firearms charges. A small amount of crack cocaine was also found on one of the suspects.

FOUR DEPARTED

The police raid came shortly after four of the suspects left the house in a vehicle. Those four were arrested in a vehicle near Arnprior, at the same time officers were entering the house

on Castlefrank.

The neighbour said she feared bullets could fly at any minute and hid as far as possible from the walls closest to the house being raided. She said police and a police dog searched her backyard.

The next day, police returned with a warrant to search the premises, said Pulfer.

He acknowledged reports in the media that the arrests were in connection to the shooting at Shifa Restaurant, on Iris Street, on Jan. 31. News reports suggest the Kanata arrests were intended to stop a revenge shooting against those who carried out the Shifa shooting.

“I know it’s been repeat-

ed in a couple of different media outlets but it’s not anything that’s coming out of our office,” said Pulfer.

“We’re not going to comment on whether or not there is any connection to the homicide (on Iris).”

While police had reasonable grounds to arrest all seven people for offences, Pulfer said the owner of the house might not have been directly involved.

“I think it’s some street gang associates or some street gang members taking advantage of somebody and using their position and their residence for their benefit. I think that’s what it looks like,” said Pulfer.

The police investigation continues.

Ottawa’s guns and gangs unit is investigating a shooting in north Kanata that left a woman’s home perforated by five bullets on Feb. 5.

Police believe the shooting was not random.

A police press release says that a woman living at her home in the 300 block of Abbeydale Circle was awoken “by a loud bang” at about 3:30 a.m. Later that morning, she noticed a hole

Earlier that same week, police stormed a home in Glen Cairn after receiving information that there were guns in the house and that suspects there may be planning a shooting.

The investigation resulted in seven people being charged before any shooting took place.

After the police were contacted, the guns and gangs unit found five bullet holes.

The police press release says the unit “does not believe this incident to be a random shooting.”

However when asked what indicated that this wasn’t a random shooting, police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy said he could not comment on that as it is part of the ongoing investigation.

Kanata, Ottawa music academies to hold talent show for CHEO Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A Kanata mom and her sister-in-law are in their 15th year supporting both local talent and CHEO with a variety show, Echoes of Winter, which will feature 29 acts on Feb. 13.

With performances ranging from musical acts to a rhythmic gymnastics presentation, a contortion performance, a cultural Indian dance display and more, the event, which is hosted by the Ottawa and Kanata music academies, aims to raise thousands of dollars more for CHEO, which has helped some of the participating performers.

Having raised nearly $40,000 since 2002, the event is meant to celebrate, encourage and grow young performers, while also raising money for a good cause.

Eight-year-old Abigail Collins from Hammond, Ont., one of the show’s youngest performers, will

get her first taste of singing on stage by performing at Echoes of Winter, singing the song Rather Be, by Clean Bandit.

It will also be a way for her to say thank you to CHEO after an ear infection nearly ended her musical career before it started.

In addition to being treated at CHEO for scarlet fever, she also had an ear infection that was so bad is nearly perforated her eardrum, said her mom, Nancy Collins.

“Those are the two experiences that we’ve used CHEO for, and they’ve been absolutely great,” said Collins.

“CHEO is something that it touches everybody … Nobody wants children to go through what they need to go through, and to be able to donate or give back it’s just a token to say thank you and to help those kids that need it the most,” she said.

At least one other performer is participating, not because of what CHEO has done for her, but because of

daughter of one of the organizers of the event, Betty Rich of Bridlewood, had her first experience with CHEO last year after multiple performances at Echoes of Winter events.

A rhythmic gymnast, Baylianne injured her back one Friday night in June during practice and found she could barely walk.

Nothing seemed to help, she said. An X-ray found no problem, but Baylianne’s symptom’s got worse, as her legs would periodically go numb.

She was then scheduled for an MRI at CHEO, said

Baylianne, and the hospital managed to get her in quickly when someone cancelled an appointment.

But even the MRI found no cause for her pain, she said.

Baylianne said she has given up finding the cause as the symptoms seem to be going away slowly. Still, she’s had to reduce her rhythmic gymnastics training and stop playing rugby.

However that hasn’t stopped her from participating in this year’s Echoes of Winter performance as a vocalist and guitar soloist.

“It’s great helping other

people out and helping the hospital out,” she said.

“It’s wonderful, honestly … Although they couldn’t help me, when I first started I never went to CHEO before, and it’s just been great working with my friends and doing this all together.”

It’s all about the dopamine

I

’ve always been a bit of a high-strung individual. In many ways, this has helped me achieve a lot of my goals in life.

I always did everything at a sprint pace, finishing projects before most people had a chance to contemplate the title.

From the age of 14, when I discovered coffee, there was no stopping me. I’d plow through breakfast – or skip it altogether—be at band practice for 6:30 a.m. and finish yesterday’s homework before the bell rang at nine.

In university, I had two jobs and a scholarship to maintain. I was a straightA student, who woke at five every morning, worked until nine and just went full steam ahead until I crashed at midnight. One time for an English literature exam, I listened to my own voice on a recording all night long “while I slept” to help me memorize 400 years of poetry.

Working in buzzing newsrooms for several years, I was in my element.

But I discovered recently that buzzing through life isn’t always the best thing.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse For one, I tend to be a little on the impulsive side.

Now in my late 30s, I also find staying up late and getting up at the crack of dawn is a recipe for disaster. With lack of sleep, I’m more likely to be distracted, impatient and disorganized.

Something had to be done. They say you can’t really change your personality – OK – but surely I could do something to calm myself down, and paradoxically lift myself up, without resorting to alcohol or Ativan.

And then I discovered dopamine. No, it’s not some kind of recreational drug. It’s a neurotransmitter, a brain chemical that exists within all of us.

I realized that buzzing through my early adult

life had perhaps led me to ignore dopamine, which some scientists call “the

And then I discovered dopamine. No, it’s not some kind of recreational drug. It’s a neurotransmitter, a brain chemical that exists within all of us.

happy chemical.” Despite pushing myself through the highs all the time, I

was tending to wear myself right down. And the lows were getting ever lower, which some suggest is a side effect of low dopamine.

The awesome thing is that there are natural and easy ways to boost dopamine. The most obvious one is exercise.

A few months ago, I started hitting the gym almost daily to try and lose a few pounds and just generally do something decent for my health. The positive side effect of all this physical activity is a post-workout euphoria, which is linked to an increase in dopamine.

I’ll be honest with you, even after six weeks, I found the effect wore off within a few hours of going to the gym, but as I continue with the habit, I’m finding the dopamine effect is giving me a more steady sense of well-being more often. In fact, it’s making me less speedy and more relaxed, which is mostly good, although it makes this formerly highstrung gal feel a bit lazy, requiring me to adjust my timelines.

But even exercise alone didn’t seem enough to keep me on the level all the time.

So I started looking at

other means to boost my dopamine.

Thankfully coffee and chocolate are on the list.

Turmeric is another one – so, naturally, I started putting it in everything I cook. I even drink turmeric tea.

There are some less obvious ways to boost dopamine as well. Meditation, which I’ve yet to master, is on the list. Also setting and achieving goals – even small ones throughout the day – can boost dopamine.

Doing things that challenge you can give you a dose of the happy drug.

I’ve made up a ditty to celebrate dopamine: “It’s all about the dope, ’bout the dope, all level,” to the tune of “All About the Bass.” I try not to sing it within earshot of the kids because they may just get the wrong idea about what it takes to achieve well-

being.

But generally, with dopamine up, I am more calm, I sleep better, and I feel happier.

Yup, with my newfound dopamine high, even the Twitter bullies can’t get me down this week, hard as they may try.

Environment laws blatantly rigged

A

developer in north Kanata wants to develop land; no surprise there.

What’s surprising is the process, because it turns out the developer – KNL Developments Inc. – can destroy the habitat of protected species, and even kill any of that species present, as long as the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is satisfied that KNL will somehow provide a final outcome that benefits the protected species.

That could mean other land is set aside for the rare Blanding’s turtles, and that butternut tree seeds are collected and spread elsewhere.

If approved, KNL will bulldoze the land, cut down trees and blast into the bedrock for new pipes and wires.

It’s hard to see how running over protected turtles with bulldozers or chopping down rare trees could end up benefiting said flat turtles and dead trees, but that’s how the system works.

Those are the laws our elected representatives at Queen’s Park have enacted on our behalf.

We are told we should be satisfied.

The public has a chance to provide comments, but bizarrely does not get to know what

KNL will do in return for killing protected species.

The developer need only provide ideas of what it might do.

In a sick version of Let’s Make a Deal, the contestants (the public) can ask to keep what they have (rare turtles, trees etc.) or choose Door Number 1, all without any certainty of what they’re trading for.

On the game show someone wins a car or gets a gag gift. What Natural Resources and Forestry offers is the status quo or possibly dead stuff and some kind of mitigation elsewhere.

No sane person could favour the latter option. And no one at all could make an informed decision without all the facts.

The public is being asked to comment, but those comments are clearly not valued, not even worth the paper they’re printed on.

here are fresh developments in the ongoing saga of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism.

The new government, having determined that the memorial should be different from that originally imagined and on a different site, has now asked Canadians for their thoughts on the matter. This takes the form of a brief questionnaire on the Department of Canadian Heritage website.

The government should know by now that nothing good can come of asking the people what they think, at least not on the Internet. It has only to think of John Scott, or Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf.

We all know about Scott, the intended victim of online pranksters who wanted to make a mockery of the National Hockey League’s all-

They are asked what they think the “visitor experience” should be.

They are asked about the scale of the memorial. And they are given an open-ended opportunity to enter any other thoughts they might have about the design.

Here is where disaster lurks.

Here’s where the goofy ideas come in, the politically motivated and the just plain silly. Get ready for it.

And in a way it would serve the government right. The memorial, whatever form it takes, will be art and you don’t create art by public opinion survey.

Picasso didn’t survey his audience before putting paint to canvas.

Cancer assessment tool adds new illnesses to roster Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Lifestyle factors play a large role in determining the risk of certain cancers.

Identifying them can spur beneficial changes that can lower the risk.

To this end, Cancer Care Ontario offers a confidential risk assessment tool that individuals can use to determine their own personal risk of the four most prevalent cancer types: breast, cervical, colon and lung.

A year after My Cancer IQ went online, Cancer Care Ontario chose World Cancer Day – Feb. 4 – to add two more cancer types to their assessment tool.

Kidney cancer and melanoma can affect anyone, and thus belong on the list, said the Ottawa Hospital’s Dr. Catherine Dubé, a gastroenterologist who leads the province’s colorectal cancer screening program.

“My Cancer IQ was launched a year ago, and at the time it was about the cancers that are … the leading causes of death,” said Dubé.

“There was always a plan to expand to include other cancers. The decision to

include kidney cancer and melanoma was made because both cancers are on the rise in Canada and Ontario. Both have risk factors you can work on to reduce the risk.”

SUN SAFETY

Melanoma is one of the most preventable cancers, said Dubé. Practicing safe sun exposure, using a highSPF sunscreen and staying away from tanning salons is anyone’s best bet to avoid this aggressive form of skin cancer.

Kidney cancer is less understood, but enough facts exist to allow it to be combatted through lifestyle changes.

“We don’t know all the risk factors (of kidney cancer), but we do know it’s related to obesity and tobacco use,” said Dubé.

The risk factors for various cancers are not the same for all parts of the population, said Dubé. For example, cervical cancer affects disproportionally young women, while breast and colorectal cancers affect mainly older populations.

She added that many risk-reducing lifestyle

This image shows the home page of Cancer Care Ontario’s My Cancer IQ assessment and screening tool, which recently added two new forms of cancer .

Steph Willems/ Metroland

changes are simply a good thing to do, regardless of cancer fears. Getting more exercise, avoiding obesity and eating right are not just beneficial in reducing the likelihood of a number of cancer types.

Now that My Cancer IQ has added the new cancer types, the tool – which saw more than 146,000 risk assessments in its first year – has gained even more importance.

Designed for people to use from their own home, the tool excels “at primary prevention and screening,” said Dubé.

“Once a person gets a rating (of risk factors), they can print or email it, go to a primary care physician and discuss how best to reduce their risks. One thing about it is that it’s evidence-based – there’s research behind every section of the tool, deciding what are the known facts that can be used.”

The assessment tool can be found online at www.mycanceriq.ca.

Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review It was great to see so many residents out this past weekend to enjoy the outdoor fun on Hockey Day in Ottawa! Thank you to all the volunteers who maintain our awesome inventory of outdoor rinks.

Many residents have expressed concern for the Senators moving from Kanata as part of the Lebreton proposals.

I have shared your concern and ideas with both parties involved in the revitalization of Lebreton and will continue to work with my fellow west end councillors to do whatever possible to protect the jobs and businesses that currently depend on the Senators. If we cannot convince the Sens to stay as our first priority, then we must ensure there are plans for the area that will provide as much or even more of an economic boost to our community. We also need to help whoever will develop the area next to ensure that when the Sens leave and when the next attraction is in place, that the gap is a small as possible. I encourage everyone to keep in mind that Kanata Stittsville is the number two employment area in the city and over the past six years either first or second as the fastest growing area of the city and that is not because of the Sens, it is because we have built the best place to live, work, play and that is why you and I are proud to make this community our home.

Meadowbreeze Rink Grand Opening You and your family are invited to a day of active family fun to celebrate the unveiling of the Meadowbreeze Park Rink in Bridlewood on Sunday February 14th from 2:00pm4:00pm. Lace up your skates and hit the ice in the first of a series of Tomlinson Family-sponsored projects to give back to the City of Ottawa and promote accessible and affordable recreation opportunities. Activities include: Family skating, Sleigh rides, Snowman building contest, Maple Taffy Station and Hot Chocolate.

I would like to thank the Tomlinson family for their generous donation to our community. Hope you can join us on February 14th for lots of family fun!

Upcoming Events February 13th: Lions Winter Carnival will be held at the Lions Den located at 170 Castlefrank Road. There will be a pancake breakfast from 8:30-11:30am ( Adults $4, kids $1, Family $10). There will also be free sleigh rides 9am12pm, Mad Scientist 12:30-1:15pm and Face Painting 1:15-2:15pm.

Local co-op awarded for solar panel projects Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

An Ottawa company has a new way to send a jolt through your investment portfolio, and it’s just won an award for its efforts.

Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op funds roof solar panel projects through investments from Ottawa residents. It sells the energy to the government and then passes profits to its investors, aiming for five per cent profits per year over a 20-year agreement.

OREC had the distinction of installing the city’s 1,000th solar rooftop – a goal set by groups like Sustain-

able Ottawa. It installed the panels on the rooftop of Maurice Lapointe French public school, an event celebrated by the likes of Mayor Jim Watson and others at the school last September.

The energy co-op subsequently won the Community Project of the Year Award from the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association on Jan. 28.

“Their projects and their business model are a great example for community engagement, participation and ownership, ensuring that the benefits of the projects stay within the local community,” said Nicole

“We believe that local participation and ownership is crucial to realize our vision and OREC is a great example of how to make our vision a reality.”

“We are thrilled,” said OREC operations manager Janice Ashworth on winning the award.

EUROPEAN INFLUENCE

The company, now five years old, took inspiration from across the pond for its busi-

ness model.

“There is quite a movement for community-owned renewable energy in Europe, particularly in Denmark and in Germany, where this sort of idea has been around for a century rather than a decade,” said Ashworth.

“Here we’ve just started getting involved in community owned renewable energy since the Green Energy Act came out in 2009.

Kanata school gets 1,000th solar rooftop in Ottawa BUYING SHARES

Continued from page 10

“Over there it’s been since the early 1900s really where there’s been community groups putting up their own wind turbines and generating power for their local grid, so that’s definitely an inspiration and where a lot of the learning has come from.”

There are several advantages to the community funding approach, she said.

OREC finds roofs to lease from landowners whose buildings receive good access to the sun, cheaper connections to the power grid and are larger than your average residential roof.

With investors pooling funds for the project, a larger, more profitable solar system can be installed, she said.

So rather than an individual homeowner shelling out $15,000 to $30,000 for their own solar roof setup (if they already own their own home), individuals can purchase shares at a base price of $2,500, plus a $100 membership fee.

However people seem to invest much more.

The 500 members have collectively invested $5 million, said Ashworth; an average of $10,000 per person.

The solar system then feeds energy back into the Hydro Ottawa or Hydro One grid, selling the power to the Ontario Power Authority through a 20-year feed-intariff contract.

With 13 solar rooftops across the city, including three other schools, OREC’s production counter shows they’ve produced 1.05 million kilowatt hours of electricity, generated more than $548,000 and avoided 50,450 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

“It’s a good way to see the future,” the French public school board’s superintendent of education, Jean-Pierre Dufour, said of

OREC’s model.

Having implemented its own environmental program, called eco-responsible, in 2009, the school board was approached by OREC to consider leasing their roof for a solar panel project.

The board was happy to go ahead, said Dufour.

Now students at the school are engaged in learning how the solar panels work, how to calculate the energy they collect and what other ways there are to collect sustainable energy.

OREC hopes to expand its business into some of those other methods and models of clean energy collection, said Ashworth.

There is a lot of misinformation being circulated about this program.

It does not deal with live mosquitoes but uses naturally found bacteria placed in standing water areas where mosquito larvae are identified.

This stops the larvae from hatching. Health Canada’s information on Bti, (the bacteria that specifically targets mosquito and black fly larvae because of their high PH levels), states that it is so widely found in nature that you already have multiple exposures in your lifetime.

It does not affect other insects, honeybees, fish, birds or mammals.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency states that the risk of Bti to other organisms are minimal to non-existent. There is no aerial spraying. The product is applied from a backpack via a small nozzle directly onto the larvae. It biodegrades within 48 hours. In hard to reach areas a granular form of Bti is dropped from low-flying helicopters to ensure no spray is put into the atmosphere. This procedure has been used in Gatineau for 20 years without any problems occurring.

Public school board trustees pass French curriculum changes Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

After hours of debate and emotional appeals from parents, English public school board trustees approved several changes to French instruction in kindergarten, and early French immersion program during a lengthy Feb. 2 meeting.

Trustees voted to change all kindergarten classes within the board to a half French, half English model, merging students in both the English and early French immersion programs, and changing the entry point for EFI from senior kindergarten to Grade 1.

A proposal to change math instruction in EFI from French to English in grades 1 to 3 was also passed.

Trustees voted to accept staff ’s recommendation to cancel earlier plans that would have introduced 60 minutes of English instruction a day in the EFI program. Some parents worried it would make the French immersion program too English-heavy.

EXTRA HELP

During the course of the public board meeting, a new proposal was tabled and passed by trustees.

That amendment called for some of the cost savings generated as a result of the changes to be used to help any English language learn-

One mother, Anna Beith, worried that changing math instruction to English in EFI would dilute the amount of French in the program.

“The research shows that only 100 per cent French immersion is a certain path to achieving proficiency in (that) language,” Beith said. “Everything else is a grey zone with ambiguously uncertain results.”

Stephanie Millius – whose son started EFI in senior kindergarten last September – said her son is struggling with the split French and English model already in place for students entering the program in that grade. She said she worried that his struggles with the increased number of teachers in the classroom would be shared by all kindergarten students if the proposed kindergarten changes were approved.

“My son has nine points of contact,” Millius said. “My son is not having a good year.

He does not know the names of all his teachers. Parents and students find the current 50-50 model (for EFI students) very challenging, and this model should not be applied to all kindergarten students.”

SPLIT VOTE

Ultimately six trustees voted in favour of the changes – including the proposal to use savings to assist students struggling with those changes – with four voting against and one abstaining.

“I feel it was the right thing to do for our students,” said Shirley Seward, board chair

The research shows that only 100 per cent French immersion is a certain path to achieving proficiency in (that) language ... Everything else is a grey zone with ambiguously uncertain results.

Anna Beith, parent

and trustee for River Ward.

“Trustees looked at all the material, including the surveys from the first phase and the second phase. We also did our own consultations in our own zones with our own constituents.”

The meeting followed two phases of public consultation, including two surveys of parents and school staff that a

report by the board said garnered “impressive” response rates.

The second round of surveys received 4,856 responses, which showed narrow support for the changes to kindergarten and EFI, while staff opposed the kindergarten changes and voted in favour of teaching math in English in EFI. “It just shows, first of all, how important the issue is,” Seward said of the public response to the surveys and the level of attendance at the meeting. “But secondly, I feel so proud as a trustee and as a chair of the board, that the community is so engaged in public education.”

The changes are expected provide a financial boost to the board, which is facing a tough budget year.

By adding more French language education and consolidating kindergarten classrooms, the board expects to earn an extra $2 million in grants annually, while also recovering $750,000.

“Taking everything into account, I feel we made the right decision,” Seward said.

“I think the most important thing now will be how it is implemented and the supports that are put in place for our vulnerable children.”

Province announces cash for natural gas retrofits Homeowners will partner with gas provider in climate initiative Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

As part of its strategy to fight climate change, the Province of Ontario plans to make it easier – and cheaper – for homeowners to realize efficiencies with natural gas heating.

Through a partnership with major natural gas providers Enbridge and Union Gas, the province will invest $100 million from its Ontario Green Investment Fund to allow the utilities to offer rebates on home energy audits and retrofits.

The retrofits and upgrades would allow homeowners to reduce their gas bills while lowering the overall amount of greenhouse gas emissions – something the province

APRIL 14, 2016 NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE

pledged to do as recently as last year’s climate change conference in Paris.

Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli made the announcement on Feb. 4 at the Baseline Road Home Depot, itself a partner in many provincial programs.

“This investment will deliver investments on many fronts,” said Chiarelli.

“Homeowners across the province will directly benefit, as the program will help lower their monthly heating and cooling bills. Ontario will directly benefit, as using energy wisely reduces the need to build new energy infrastructure.”

Home energy retrofit programs “work well,” said Chiarelli, adding that for each dollar spent on efficiencies, consumers receive

up to four dollars in savings, or $400 in annual savings for an older home.

The province predicts the investment will allow 37,000 homeowners to conduct energy audits, after which they could benefit from measures such as the replacement of furnaces and water heaters, upgraded insulation, or installation of “smart” thermostats.

The $325-million Ontario Green Investment Fund is tied to the province’s capand-trade program.

Because the program is being offered through utilities with existing energy-savings programs, “this program can hit the ground running with little or no ramp time,” said Chiarelli.

Collaboration the best way to hit targets Continued from page 16

Jim Sanders, a vicepresident with Enbridge Gas and Distribution, said his company believes collaboration between government and business, and investment of proceeds into cleaner systems, is key to a cap-and-trade agreements.

“Conservation is the most effective way to reduce per-customer consumption of natural gas, which simultaneously reduces emissions and customers’ bills,” said Sanders.

“Between 1995 and 2014 our energy efficiency programs collectively helped Ontario residents and businesses avoid 18 megatons of carbon emissions. This is equivalent to taking 2.4 million cars off the road every year.”

Share a Heart A tree decorated by an unknown student at John Young Elementary School in Glen Cairn encourages passersby to write a note to someone special using heart cards, crayons and markers made available on the tree, which is located in Dog Bone Park, just across the street from the school. The display is likely in reaction to the school’s pay it forward campaign, said educational assistant Jeannie Wardrop. The school took up the campaign in memory of former student Paytan McEwan, who died on Jan. 6.

Public health providing vaccines for refugees Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s public health department has provided 500 vaccines to Syrian refu-

gees since their arrival in January, according to chief medical officer Dr. Isra Levy.

In his report to the Ottawa health board on Feb. 8,

Levy said Ottawa has welcomed 700 refugees.

So far, Ottawa Public Health has held 10 outreach clinics for refugees, which included access to vaccines.

“We have provided 500 vaccines and 400 dental screenings,” Levy said, adding the department is also working on infection control and prevention measures among the new population.

“We are working mostly at the temporary lodgings,” he said.

Public health is working in partnership with the city and Refugee 613 to address needs as they arise, Levy said.

“Our staff are working to adapt to a constantly changing dynamic,” he said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun.

Mathieu Fleury asked if the number of refugees in the capital is up that much because of the influx of Syrians.

“We have a number of refugees settle in this city every year and I wonder if there will be that much difference from the normal amount we see,” he asked.

Public health working on immunizing students: chair Continued from page 22

Levy said it’s too early to tell.

“We’re just in the first three months,” he said.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who has been appointed the city’s liaison for the resettlement efforts, said it’s not necessarily the amount of refugees, but the concentration.

“We have approximately 700 that have arrived in just a couple of months,” he said.

SCHOOL SUSPENSIONS

Lots of local children will be getting vaccines this year.

Health board chair Shad Qadri said public health’s every child, every year strat-

egy – designed to bring Ottawa’s student immunization records up to date, has resulted in 3,800 school suspensions of one day or more, since the program was

first implemented.

The program started in April 2015 – when staff found that of the city’s 150,000 school aged children, records for approximately 63,000 were not up to date.

The report indicated that parents weren’t aware of their responsibility to report immunizations to public health.

Qadri said the possibility of school suspensions – while not ideal – has garnered 96 per cent compliance in the schools that have been surveyed.

The last batch of letters were to go out to parents on Feb. 9, he said, with suspensions to take effect in March if the records are not updated.

“Staff have made tens of thousands of phone calls,” he said.

Other public health priorities this year include: fall prevention for seniors, mental health initiatives and sexual health education for priority groups, Qadri said.

“That was way to easy!”

“I can't believe I saved so much... ”

Final Bust a Move to fund After the Bell post-cancer retreat St. Laurent centre’s Pink Lounge offers indoor garden getaway Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

For cancer patients, the ringing of the bell marking the end to their treatments and the all-clear given by their oncologist is much more than just symbolic.

What comes next has inspired the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation to develop a brand new After the Bell retreat program to help cancer survivors adjust to life post-treatment.

“They’ve spent so many months and/or years in treatment that once they’ve rung the bell ... they really have to navigate what that next step is going to be,” said Melissa Shabinsky, who is co-chairing Bust a Move Ottawa this year, a one-day fitness fundraiser that will help pay for the two-day retreat so that cancer survivors can enjoy it for free.

The foundation plans to

develop it this coming summer, and tentatively launch it as a pilot program next fall or winter.

“They’ve had months or years of people taking care of them and now they have to integrate back into their lives,” said Shabinsky, a Wellington West resident who is taking part in Bust a Move with her own 14-member team, known as Team BFF – Breast Friends Forever.

That new set of challenges can include self-esteem and body images, as well as feelings of isolation, according to the cancer foundation.

The retreat, which will feature cancer coaching, reiki, group coaching workshops on stress and time management, laughter yoga and information on reconciling relationships, fitness and nutrition, will be offered to all cancer survivors.

That’s largely thanks to funds raised during the fifth

and final Bust a Move for Breast Health, an all-day fitness event designed to empower women and men and boost awareness about breast health.

Almost 30 teams from across Ottawa – from Orléans to Kanata and beyond – have so far signed on to take part on March 5 at the Ottawa Athletic Club on Lancaster Road, off Saint Laurent Boulevard, for six different fitness sessions, from yoga to kickboxing, designed for all fitness levels.

To take part, each person must raise at least $1,000.

The goal is to generate more than $350,000 this year, which would bring the total raised to $1.5 million – funds that have in the past helped support breast cancer research, clinical trials and the cancer foundation’s cancer coaching program.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on February 10, 2016 established its intention to designate the Flewellyn Jones House, 5897 Fernbank Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The Flewellyn/Jones House, 5897 Fernbank Road, is a one-and-one-half storey stone farmhouse located in the west end of Ottawa in former Goulbourn Township.

Statement of Cultural Value or Interest The Flewellyn/Jones House has cultural heritage value for its contextual value as an important reminder of the historic agricultural character of Goulbourn Township, design value as a 19th century farmhouse and historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family and the early settlement of Goulbourn Township.

The Flewellyn/Jones House has design value as a good example of a Gothic Revival farmhouse built in the late 19th century to replace the earlier log house built when the land was first settled.

Typical of this style, it features decorative bargeboard trim, a steeply pitched gable roof, segmental arched windows and a veranda with wooden trim. The Flewellyn/Jones House is one of several houses in this area constructed with a similar plan. It features the same decorative bargeboard and layout as the Boyd House at 173 Huntmar Drive which was constructed one year later and may have been built by the same stone mason.

The Flewellyn/Jones House has historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family, a prominent family in early Goulbourn Township who owned the house from the time of construction until the 1950s. The Flewellyn family came immigrated to Canada from Ireland in 1863 and this property is associated with the settlement and farming of this area by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-19th century.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

For more information please contact: Lesley Collins, MCIP RPP Heritage Planner II, City of Ottawa Planning & Growth Management Department 110, Laurier Ave. West, Fourth Floor Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 21586 E-mail: lesley.collins@ottawa.ca

Unique mall space to remain open until March 6

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Trillium Line Extension The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Trillium Line Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Road and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

The plan includes options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands. The plan also incorporates new stations on the existing line at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights.

Impacts to private property are anticipated to be limited to the areas adjacent to the proposed Lester Road and Leitrim Road grade separations.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program.

The EPR for the Trillium Line Extension project will be available for a 30-day public review period starting January 22, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours: Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change Ottawa District Office 2430 Don Reid Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1H 1E1

There are circumstances where the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change has the authority to require further consideration of the transit project, or impose conditions on it. These include if the Minister is of the opinion that: • The transit project may have a negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that relates to the natural environment or has cultural heritage value or interest; or, • The transit project may have a negative impact on a constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty right.

Before exercising the authority referred to above, the Minister is required to consider any written objections to the transit project that he or she may receive within 30 days after the Notice of Completion of the Environmental Project Report is first published.

If you have discussed your issues with the proponent and you object to the project, you can provide a written submission to the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change no later than February 22, 2016 to the address provided below. All submissions must clearly indicate that an objection is being submitted and describe any negative impacts to matters of provincial importance (natural/cultural environment) or Aboriginal rights.

Continued from page 25

In addition to the fun on the big day, which will see some RedBlacks football players taking part and Jesse Palmer, former NFL quarterback and The Bachelor star, serving as a fitness instructor, Bust a Move also brings attention to After the Bell, said Shabinsky.

Cancer has impacted many people she knows, which is the reason why she first got involved with the fundraiser during its inaugural year.

“I just feel like this is a fabulous way to not only raise funds but raise awareness for something that touches so many women,” she said.

PINK LOUNGE OPENS

In advance of the big day, the campaign kicked off with the grand opening of the Pink Lounge at the St. Laurent Shopping Centre on Feb. 6.

“It was a really big success,” Carrie Irvine, the shopping centre’s marketing director, said of the open-

ing, during which Nicole Burris, Bust a Move honourary co-chair and wife of RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris, helped cut the grand opening ribbon.

The RedBlacks’ own Bust a Move team was also on hand to host a football toss fundraiser.

This year marks the fifth year the mall and its parent company, Morguard, are sponsoring Bust a Move, and this is the second year the mall is hosting the lounge.

“We’ve created this lush outdoor garden,” Irvine said of the theme.

Featuring boxwood hedges, birch archways, floral arrangements and outdoor furniture, the lounge has been designed to provide a unique place where customers can sit and relax The space will remain open during weekdays for customers until March 6.

And on weekends, giftwrapping and coat- and parcel-check services will be available, with all funds raised going to Bust A Move. A donation box is also on site.

Coinciding with the Pink Lounge, the mall is offering a $500 shopping-spree contest, pink carnation giveaways on weekends, and product samples and coffee will be available.

The St. Laurent centre also has a team that is raising funds the day of Bust a Move.

“We are all in for this event,” Irvine said. “Not only do we sponsor it, but we also participate on the day.

“I think everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. It’s a terrible disease,” she said of why the shopping centre got involved.

“Secondly, what I love about Bust a Move is all of the money stays in our community,” Irvine said. “Everything that we are able to raise goes toward people who are battling this disease in Ottawa.”

Hundreds of people, involved in rebuilding Parliament after it burned down in 1916, stand in front of the half-built structure.

SUBMITTED

Ottawa marks 100 years since Parliament burned down Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The image is an impressive one: hundreds of men, who rebuilt Parliament after it burned down in 1916, defiantly standing in front of the half-finished new building.

When Paul Couvrette first looked at the photo

in the basement of Irene’s Pub in the Glebe, he quickly scanned it in search of a specific face. His great-grandfather was actually standing among the crowd.

An enlarged copy of the picture hangs on the wall below Irene’s Pub, where patrons wandering past on their way to the washroom stop to inspect it.

Through research about his family tree, Couvrette discovered his great-grandfather, Gedeon Couvrette, had worked on both the original construction of Parliament Hill when he was 17 years old, and the rebuilding of Centre Block when he was 72.

EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-47 By-law 2016-47 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. The zoning by-law amendment affects multiple properties in the Village of Manotick generally located in the village core and various park locations. This is a city-initiated zoning by-law amendment resulting from update of the Manotick Secondary Plan.

February 3 marked anniversary of fire Continued from page 27

Gedeon worked as a labourer in the original construction, and as a teamster – hauling materials with his horses and cart – for the rebuild after retiring as a lumberjack.

Couvrette, who owns one of Centretown’s last photography studios believes his great-grandfather was likely the only person to have worked on both the original construction and rebuilding of Centre Block.

His research led him to this photo.

The landlord of Irene’s Pub and self-described history buff Ron Bujold said he found the photograph in the basement of a house he bought on Morris Street in 1994.

“There was all sorts of junk in this basement and I found this in what was left,” he said.

“I’ve always been fascinated by anything historical like that.”

Bujold and Couvrette were not alone in their historical curiosity. The Bytown Museum recently contacted Bujold to include the photo in an exhibit marking the 100th anniversary of the fire, which ripped through Parliament on Feb. 3, 1916.

The exhibit, called Forged in Fire, will chronicle the

history of Parliament Hill, from the time before European settlement up until when the buildings were rebuilt after the fire.

The blaze started in the Commons Reading Room and quickly spread to engulf all of Centre Block ex-

We no longer have the people who were working the stone and lumber to restore it but their children and grandchildren have mementos of that occasion ... It’s a great way to reintroduce a story that is moving out of memory and into the history books.

Grant Vogl, a curator with the Bytown Museum

cept for the library, which was saved by its iron doors.

A cornerstone ceremony was held on Sept. 1, 1916, exactly 56 years after the original cornerstone was laid. Construction was complete on the Peace Tower

just 11 years later.

“We no longer have the people who were working the stone and lumber to restore it but their children and grandchildren have mementos of that occasion,” said Grant Vogl, a curator with the Bytown Museum.

“It’s a great way to reintroduce a story that is moving out of memory and into the history books.”

In Bujold’s photograph, Couvrette’s great-grandfather stands among electricians, architects, labourers and even a future prime minister – Arthur Meighen can be seen sitting in the front row.

“I was absolutely stunned by the odds that my great-grandfather would be suddenly appearing before me,” Couvrette said.

“The odds of that happening must be a million to one.”

By complete coincidence, Barry Meabry, Couvrette’s friend who alerted him to the existence of the photo just a couple months ago, found out that his great-grandfather is also in the photo and standing right next to Gedeon in the picture.

The Bytown Museum’s exhibit will open Jan. 29 for Winterlude and will run until the end of October.

The amendment will generally extend the VM (Village Mixed-Use) zone to the north and south along Manotick Main Street; prohibit uses in the VM zone that do not support a pedestrian-oriented mixed-use core; permit an increased gross leasable area at the Mews; re-affirms the future use of parks; re-zone properties and refines lists of permitted uses to be in keeping with the land use plan; and removes the Village Residential Enterprise overlay that applies to parts of the village core.

Improved Crime Stoppers tips net more guns, arrests Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

While tips to Ottawa’s Crime Stoppers program were down four per cent last year compared to 2014, the quality of tips improved, allowing police to net more guns, drugs, stolen property and suspects.

“The quality of the tips has dramatically improved and that helps investigators when they go to close a case or investigation,” said Richard McMullen, president of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers, one of 38 chapters in Ontario.

“Clearly, the number of results, in terms of arrests and criminal cases being cleared, has dramatically increased.”

Last year, 3,900 calls came in. In several, tipsters provided more details, such as a suspect’s last known address and full name.

That has helped police recover more stolen property.

Last year, investigators seized $81,123 worth, compared to just $2,625 in 2014, likely because of the higher value of property recovered, McMullen said.

Tips also allowed police to seize 15 guns in 2015, up from five in 2014.

“Gun violence is something that we take seriously, as do the police partners that we engage with, and 15 fewer firearms is significant,” McMullen said.

“For the police, the Crime Stoppers program contributes to shorter investigations and better evidence,” Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said during a ceremony at Ottawa police headquarters on Jan. 22, held to recognize Crime Stoppers’ success last year and mark January as Crime Stoppers Month.

Tips to Ottawa’s Crime Stoppers also led to 74 arrests in 2015, an increase from 36 the year before.

Request for Expressions of Interest 3071 Riverside Drive, Ottawa The Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation (OCLDC), on behalf of the City of Ottawa, is seeking to identify developers and builders who may be interested in the purchase and development of the property located at 3071 Riverside Drive. A formal notice advertising the sale of the property will also be issued at a later date.

This vacant 4.3-hectare property is situated in a prime location within the City, surrounded by an established residential neighbourhood. The property fronts on Riverside Drive and is opposite Mooney’s Bay. A high level concept plan has been developed through consultation with the community, and the City’s OCLDC is now also seeking input from the development industry.

Interested parties are encouraged to contact OCLDC staff to learn more about this opportunity by March 10, 2016.

The quality of the tips resulted in the approval of $13,750 in reward money to tipsters last year, up from $6,740 in 2014, which is funded by private donations, fundraising efforts and sponsor support.

Criminal charges laid in Ottawa also rose as a result. There were 291 charges laid in 2015, an increase from 150 in 2014.

Police also seized $179,389 in narcotics last year, up from $104,617 the year before, thanks to anonymous tips.

Mullen.

The 31-year-old Ottawa organization, which was on the brink of bankruptcy in 2012-13, has doubled its efforts since then to boost its presence at community events, including those in vulnerable Ottawa neighbourhoods.

“Sometimes it might be a Saturday group barbecue in Russell Heights or any number of communities,” McMullen said. “We’ve done a fair bit of work at the Jasmine Crescent community and participated in grassroots community events (where) we’re able to get exposure and be out in the community.”

Media partners and social media have helped get the word out, linking the public with videos, images and de-

scriptions of crimes and suspects.

Continued exposure is key to dispelling misconceptions that tipsters who report information to Crime Stoppers are expected to testify in court or that their information is passed on to police, McMullen said.

“We are not the police. We are independent,” he said. “We don’t take the (caller’s) information to begin with.

“Quite frankly, we go out of our way to keep that information as confidential as we can,” McMullen said.

“That’s what makes it successful, is that trust.”

Anyone with information on crimes is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477, or visit crimestoppers.ca.

Valentine’s Day to take on new meaning at Nepean pet store Soi Dog Canada using card sales to raise funds for homeless Thai dogs Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Last minute Valentine’s Day shoppers can feel good about their timing this year, knowing their purchases have the potential to help neglected animals in Thailand.

That’s because animal welfare group Soi Dog Canada and Global Pet Foods in Bells Corners have teamed up to sell unique Valentine’s Day cards at the pet store for $5 on Feb. 13 and 14, with all proceeds going to the Soi Dog Foundation.

The Soi Dog Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps homeless, neglected and abused dogs and cats in Thailand.

While the group is awaiting charitable status in Canada, it is a registered non-profit organization in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, France and Holland.

The group aims to end the dog meat trade in Asia and eliminate widespread animal homelessness

in Thailand by fostering animals currently living on the street and at risk of ending up in the hands of traders.

“Every year tens of thousands of dogs are inhumanely transported from Thailand to neighbouring countries where they are butchered by cruel and barbaric methods,” Soi Dog Canada founder Candace Cornock said in an email.

“However, the Soi Dog Foundation and the Thai government are actively working to end this appalling practice.

Once rescued, dogs and cats are treated by vets, spayed and neutered, and restored to good health. Once healthy, most animals are adopted out to homes across the world.

The Thai-based organization has spayed and neutered over 100,000 dogs and cats since its founding in 2003.

The group identifies the sterilization of animals as one of the most important tools for reducing the number of animals on

the street and in slaughter houses.

According to Cornock, there are more than 300,000 homeless dogs in Bankok, Thailand alone.

“The suffering is beyond imagination,” Cornock said.

“Many of the dogs captured and sent to the dog meat trade are pets stolen out of people’s yards or off the streets.”

The organization’s Canadian branch has operated since 2013 and has raised $75,000 to help provide food, shelter, medical care and sterilization to dogs and cats in Thailand.

While the organization has not yet secured charitable status in Canada, Cornock expects that to happen soon, and said the Soi Dog Foundation already boasts a dedicated following in Canada. “(Soi Dog Canada) is very active and growing very quickly,” she said.

“Awareness of the horrific dog meat trade which we are fighting to abolish is growing too.”

Moore said that although funds are needed to help the organization continue its work, it’s the information inside that will go farthest with each of her Valentine’s Day cards.

“The important thing with the fundraising is not the money, it’s the awareness,” Moore said.

“With every card there will be a flyer about Soi Dog, so everybody’s going to have a card and a lot of information about the organization and what it does.”

Soi Dog Canada Valentine’s Day cards will be available for $5 at Global Pet Foods, located at 2150 Robertson Road in Bells Corners during business hours on Feb. 13 and 14.

Funds raised by Soi Dog Foundation volunteers around the world are used at all stages of rescue, recovery and re-homing, from helping to run the foundation’s shelter and rehoming centre in Thailand, to helping ease the cost of paying for dogs’ flights to their new homes around the world.

While adopting an animal rescued by the foundation is free, prospective new caretakers are asked to take on the cost of an animal’s flight out of Thailand.

Herbert Waye’s day went from routine to earthshaking in a heartbeat.

The RCMP constable was in his police cruiser on Parliament Hill when a radio call went out on Oct. 22, 2014. A gunman was inside the Centre Block, within metres of thenprime minister Stephen Harper and hundreds of MPs. “There was never any question that we (RCMP officers) would back up the officers inside (the building),” Waye recalled in an interview with Metroland Media.

Waye joined other RCMP officers in the halls of Parliament who moved along a hallway in a tactical formation designed to approach an armed suspect while protecting members of the team.

It’s this group – and Waye with gun drawn – that can be seen on a shaky cellphone video shot by a Globe and Mail reporter and replayed on newscasts all over the world.

In the video, Waye turns to the camera and orders the reporter to take cover, all the while moving forward and protecting the back of the formation. At the time, none of the police officers could be sure

FINAL SHOTS

Moments later, the video captures the sound of the gunman’s final shots, their echoes mixing with the shots that killed the gunman, fired by Kevin Vickers, then Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms.

“I don’t think the response (by security service members) could have rolled out any better than it did,” Waye said. “It was under control in three minutes.

On Feb. 8, Gov. Gen. David Johnston pinned a Medal of Bravery onto Waye’s red serge uniform during a ceremony at Rideau Hall that saw 16 men and women recognized for their actions on the day of the shooting.

Herbert Waye

Waye said the events of Oct. 22, 2014 were unexpected, but he credited the RCMP’s training for the response.

“You never know what’s going to happen,” he said, but there was no hesitation; officers moved towards the sound of the gunfire. “It was a very controlled first response.”

Before the gunfire inside the Centre Block, shots had already been fired at the National War Memorial, and Canadian Forces sentry Cpl. Nathan Cirillo lay dying, but Waye said the RCMP officers and Hill security staff were unaware of that.

“We didn’t know about the shooting at the War Memorial,” Waye said.

Even after the gunman was killed, information was at a premium, and Waye said it was more than an hour before he could let his wife know that he was OK. “On that day (of the shooting) you don’t realize the impact it can have on your family,” he said.

The video that clearly showed Waye had already been aired, and family friends had called Waye’s home to tell his wife that her husband was right there as shots were fired.

“What’s nice about today,” he said of the medal ceremony, “is that my wife and my son are here with me.”

Waye received the Medal of Bravery, which recognizes acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances.

See WE, page 35

‘ ... We just did our job’: security service officer The Governor General said Canadians owe an “enormous debt” to the men and women who stopped the attack.

“It was said Ottawa came to a standstill on Oct. 22,” Johnston said to the Medal of Bravery and Star of Courage recipients in remarks at the start of the Feb. 8 ceremony.

“You didn’t come to a standstill. You ran towards the danger.

“It reminds us that while people are capable of doing the worst to each other, there are also people capable of doing their best.”

Létourneau received the Star of Courage for an act of “conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril.” He said the recognition is difficult for many officers to accept.

“We feel a bit like imposters maybe,” he said. “We deserve it, but we just did our job.”

He added that the officers involved have a “special bonding” because of the events, but said he sometimes experiences flashbacks to the day of the shooting.

“When I first went back to the Hall of Honour, it was a strange feeling,” Létourneau said. “Now it’s just like a regular day at the office.”

INSIDE THE CENTRE BLOCK

RECIPIENTS

When the gunman entered the Centre Block, Parliamentary security Const. Samearn Son grappled with the gunman’s rifle and was shot in the leg by the gunman.

Son’s security colleague Const. Louis Létourneau arrived near the Rotunda at the entrance moments later. He spoke about that day following the medal ceremony.

“I arrived about two seconds after Const.

Son was shot and I never took my eyes off him (the gunman),” Létourneau said. “I was there from the first shot to the end.”

Two House of Commons protection services officers – Cpl. Maxim Malo and Const.

Charles Thom – took cover and exchanged several rounds with the gunman after he en-

In addition to Waye, Malo and Thom, six RCMP officers received the Medal of Bravery: Const. Michelle Bergeron, Const. Gary Bubelis, Const. Somoza Célestin, Const. Sylvie Marcoux, Const. Michel Palmer, Const. Patrick Ruest.

In addition to Létourneau, Son and Vickers, there were four RCMP officers who received the Star of Courage: Const. Curtis Barrett, Cpl. Dany Daigle, Const. Martin Fraser, Sgt. Richard Rozon.

Létourneau tracked the gunman down the Hall of Honour toward the Library of Parliament and fired at him several times.

Eleven RCMP officers – including Waye – entered the Centre Block. Their approach towards the gunman helped corner him where he was eventually killed.

No easy answer to city’s obesity: public health dept.

Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There’s still a lot of work to be done to deal with the obesity problem in Canada, said Sherry Nigro, who’s in charge of health promotion and disease prevention for Ottawa Public Health.

Nigro, who presented the department’s Healthy Eating, Active Living initiative to the Ottawa Board of Health on Feb. 8, said obesity costs Canadians $5.8 billion in direct and indirect health care costs annually.

The public health plan to engage the public and en-

courage healthy eating and active living includes community partnerships and addressing people’s physical and social environments to make exercise fun and convenient.

Nigro said one of the key areas where public health can work on improvements is with food retailers.

The province passed Bill 45 – the Making Healthier Choices Act – in 2015, and part of the work of OPH will be to work with food retailers with more than 20 outlets to help them get ready for the requirements of the new legislation, which addresses things like food labelling.

Nigro said it’s also important that OPH work with corner stores.

“Traditionally corner stores have more processed foods with higher sugar counts,” Nigro said, adding that about a third of the city’s neighbourhoods would be considered low on the socio-economic scale.

Not surprisingly, these neighbourhoods are home to half of the city’s corner stores, Nigro said.

“We can help with labelling of foods and encouraging more produce and

The city’s public health department outlined a healthy eating active living initiative to the city’s board of health on Feb. 8. healthier options,” Nigro said.

Another part of the initiative is working with organizations like Just Food.

Nigro said organizers are also working with the city’s planning and growth department, and public works, to advance the city’s natural and built environments to encourage walking and cycling.

“Studies show spending

time in nature has health benefits,” she said.

Obesity rates in the capital remain largely unchanged from 2011 to 2015, dipping from 52 to 47 per cent, said Nigro.

“Is that statically significant? No,” she said, adding it will take time to change people’s habits.

See FOCUS, page 37

Focus on healthy living, better access to good food choices Continued from page 36

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury worried the city’s plan encompassed too many elements.

“It’s all important, but that’s a lot to focus on and something may get lost,” he said.

But the city’s chief officer of health, Dr. Isra Levy, said there’s a smorgasbord of issues to be dealt with.

“The answers are not easy. The cancers of overconsumption and under activity are multi-generational,” he said. “It’s hard changing the culture – behaviours are ingrained and even when we do, change is

slow to come and the impact is slow to be measured.”

Nigro said health promotion will get us there, but in some cases we have to start from scratch.

“It’s a bit like reverse engineering,” she said.

“At one point people stopped breast-

feeding, which is great example of feeding to your body’s cues. So we need to encourage that.”

She said that the guidelines to child care centres that include things like, there don’t have to be birthday cakes for every child’s birthday were met with scepticism, but it’s the younger generation we want to impact.

“That was way to easy!”

Q: My wife and I are separating. We have two sons, 11 and 8 years old. Things are reasonably amicable between us, especially regarding the children, and we are trying to figure out custody and access. We both work full time and will be living near each other. What does custody mean, and what sort of arrangements do people in our situation make?

People commonly use custody to describe who the children live with, but that is legally inaccurate. Custody refers to decisions about how the child is raised – things such as education, residence, health care and activities.

Therefore, joint custody does not mean a 50/50 time split between the parents. It means they will share in decisions about those important factors. In a situation such as yours, joint custody is likely appropriate. This means you will make decisions jointly on the above issues, regardless of how much time the children spend with each parent.

Time spent with the children is referred to as access. In a joint custody situation, you may share access equally.

Bill was called to the Bar in Ontario in 2009.

Some families do one week rotations, others more frequently. When access is not equal, the parent who has the children less often has them every other weekend and one weeknight each week. The arrangement should be based on such factors as the age and care arrangements of the children and the work schedules of the parents. In all circumstances, the parties should strive to consider what will be best for the children to maintain positive relationships with both parents.

When you are negotiating your separation agreement, a family lawyer will be able to advise you on the legal and practical considerations of custody and access.

Robert Lloyd

Ret’d RCAF, and DND Lifetime Member of the Masonic Lodge and Royal Canadian Legion, Member of the Shriner’s Oriental Band, Longtime Active Member St. Paul’s United Church, Richmond. Following a brief illness, Bob passed away peacefully in hospital with family at his side on Monday, February 1, 2016 at the age of 87. Beloved husband of the late Ethel Alice (nee MacDonald).

Proud father of Bruce (Eileen), Wendy Kristiansen (Fred), and Cyndy Courtland (Charles). Loving grandfather of Tracy (Adam Cline) and Bob; Eric (fiancee Ashley); Kevin and Matthew (Meaghan); and great grandfather of Lilah. Dear brother of Graydon (Marina) of Kemptville, and Dorothy of Quesnel, BC. He will also be fondly remembered by several nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

After retiring from a successful career, Bob enjoyed traveling, computers, the Masonic Lodge, Tunis Temple, gardening and spending time with his family. Visitation was held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road, Nepean on Thursday, February 4 from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 pm, a Masonic Lodge Service of Remembrance was held at the funeral home on Thursday at 6:30 pm.

Condolences, tributes or donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.

Armour, Ronald “Ron” We lost a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law on Sunday morning, February 7, and the many others who knew him lost a great friend. Ron Armour passed away at home, surrounded by his loving wife, Sue, and his five daughters, Lori, Lynn, Leah, Lisa, and Louise. There are too many wonderful memories of Ron to fit in a short story, or even a long one for that matter. One thing is for sure, he loved a good story himself and was known for his ability to weave a good joke into a great one. Ron loved to laugh, and he lived life to enjoy it. A glass of good scotch during happy hour, a day on the links at Mississippi or Black Bear, watching the sun set or the dolphins swim by from their penthouse condo in Myrtle Beach, trying to foil the squirrels from invading his bird-feeders.

Spending time with his family. These were things he cherished the most. Likes included Reuben sandwiches and filet mignon. Dislikes, broccoli. Likes: winning at bridge and finding a good deal—of any kind. When something amazed or impressed him, it was always “uncanny”—and he said it like he meant it. A natural-born entrepreneur, Ron spent more than 23 years as the owner and operator of his own garage—a place his daughters knew they could always get a bag of free chips on the way home from school. And he spent another 20 building an impressive career in real estate.

But his true love was away from work, at the cottage or travelling the world. Ron will always be remembered for the love and kindness he shared with his 12 grandchildren and the way he made his daughter and son-in-laws feel like a special part of the family.

Ron will be resting at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place. Friends paid their respects and shared memories of their own on Tuesday, February 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Mass of Christian Funeral took place the following day at St. Mary’s Catholic Church at 12 noon.

Donations can be made in remembrance to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital or St. Mary’s Church. www.barkerfh.com

Food literacy project on books for Ottawa Public Library Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

The Ottawa Public Library will add nutrition education to its catalogue with a boost of $186,890 from the province for new food literacy programming, Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli announced on Jan. 29.

“The Ottawa Public Library is an integral part of the fabric of our community,” Chiarelli said in a media release. “With support from the provincial government for this project, the library will be able to deliver even more benefits and continue to enrich people’s lives in our region.”

The library’s A La Carte Project aims to strengthen communities across the city through food literacy by launching a host of health and nutrition initiatives over two years.

According to the Ontario Public Health Association, food literacy involves understanding where food comes from, the impacts of

food on health, the environment and the economy, and how to grow, prepare, and prefer healthy, safe and nutritious food.

In addition to community outreach, the project will include educational sessions for families, new web tools and mobile apps developed to improve access to nutritional information and the creation of a community garden residents can use to grow fresh produce.

In order to make these things happen, the library will partner with groups like Ottawa Public Health, the Ottawa International Writers Festival and Just Food.

“The idea is to have the library take our role as a community resource and work with several partners in the food literacy world to help bring the community together around food literacy,” said Elizabeth Thornley, the library’s manager of program development.

All library branches will participate in the project,

and all will have access to funds from the grant to help carry out programming. While programming offered through the A La Carte Project will vary from branch to branch, services like the mobile app and web tools will be available across the city.

The investment is part of the Ontario Libraries Capacity Fund, a $10-million program to help public libraries support communities while better meeting the changing needs of Ontarians. The fund boosts new projects that can be adapted for use in other communities and that have the potential to benefit public libraries –and their clients – across the province.

“We’re so pleased and so thankful to the provincial government for supporting us,” Thornley said. “We really feel that we’re being recognized for something innovative, a way for libraries to connect with the community in a different way. It’s a non-traditional service for libraries.”

The Ottawa Public Library will receive more than $186,000 in a grant from the province to help support its A La Carte program, a new health and nutrition literacy program. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli announced the grant at the Nepean Centrepointe branch of the library on Jan. 29.

CAT OF THE WEEK

TWO PEAS IN A POD “OLLIE & KIMBLE” These two brothers are beyond separation. They are attached by the hip bone and always in each others company. Sleeping is especially sweet... watching them snuggling with each other and getting comfy to fall asleep is a shear delight. So much love and affection shared constantly. They are two young boys less then two years old. Neutered vaccinated and health checks all done; ready to be some ones Valentine.. they do embody love in the purest form.

Snert is a traditional hearty Dutch soup The Dutch love smoked sausage, ham and bacon. A smoked pork hock adds a hint of smoke and salt to this hearty comforting soup. A meaty ham bone can be used in place of the hock or not at all if you prefer a meatless version.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes Serves: 6 Makes about 9 cups (2.25 L) INGREDIENTS

• 1 smoked pork hock, about 1 lb (500 g) • 2 tsp (10 mL) vegetable oil • 1 onion, chopped • 1 carrot, diced • 1 stalk celery, diced • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) green split peas, rinsed • 1 clove garlic, minced • ½ tsp (2 mL) each dried thyme leaves and pepper • 6 cups (1.5 L) sodium-reduced chicken or vegetable broth

Remove skin and excess fat from pork hock.

In large pot, heat oil over medium heat.

Add onion, carrot and celery; cook stirring occasionally until softened, about five minutes. Stir in split peas, garlic, thyme and pepper. Add pork hock and broth; cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered stirring occasionally, until pork hock is tender when pierced, about 1-1/2 hours.

Remove pot from heat, transfer pork hock to cutting board. Cool slightly. Purée soup with an immersion blender or transfer soup to a blender to purée.

Students protest outside the Libyan Embassy on Metcalfe Street on Feb. 3. The students waited for more than three hours in the hope of getting a meeting with Ambassador Fathi Baja.

Libyan students protest funding cut off Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

They’ve been struggling for five months.

More than 30 Libyan students – who have been without funding from their government since October – stood outside their embassy

in Centertown on Feb. 3 to demand their funding be reinstated.

Competing governments results in halt to scholarship funding Continued from page 55

The Central Bank of Libya had been paying students an allowance to cover costs while they were studying abroad as part of a scholarship program, but that funding stopped flowing on Oct. 1 due to tensions between competing governments in the North African country.

The Canadian Bureau for International Education had administered the funds in the past, but Libyan Ambassador Fathi Baja – who represents the internationally recognized government in the country’s east – asked the agency to stop dealing with the government in the west, which controls the central bank.

The two competing parliaments sprung up after autocrat Muammar Gaddafi was ousted in 2011.

The embassy decided to take over the administration of the program since October, but the Central Bank has refused to dispense funds to them.

More than 1,000 Libyan students across Canada have had to borrow from friends and relatives over the last five months to pay for living expenses, as they have no money for health care insurance, tuition or rent.

Mohamed Khlell, 25, who organized the protest outside the embassy, has racked up more than $3,000 in debt over the last few months and has blown through his savings.

“We have full scholarships and we’ve been five months without normal life, without health insurance, tuition fees for school, and without a monthly allowance,” said Khlell, who is studying to become an airline pilot at Ottawa Aviation Services.

Many of the students have racked up thousands of dollars in debt.

Tarek Abuzwaida, who is working on his PhD in Montreal, has amassed $10,000 in debt to friends.

Abuzwaida has had to borrow from friends in Libya just to put food on his chil-

dren’s plates.

“We are asking for our rights, our monthly allowances,” he said outside the Libyan Embassy on Metcalfe Street. Abuzwaida travelled to Ottawa to protest outside the embassy with students across the country.

“I have a family. I have children and we need to survive.”

We have full scholarships and we’ve been five months without normal life, without health insurance, tuition fees for school, and without a monthly allowance.

Mohamed Khlell, Libyan student, protest organizer

The students waited for more than three hours downtown in the hope of getting a meeting with Baja. They claimed he did not grant their request, but Dr. Adel Bugaldian, a spokesman for the embassy, said Baja was willing to meet with one or two representatives inside the embassy and they refused.

Bugaldian said he is hopeful the situation will be resolved soon as efforts are underway to unite the two governments.

“The students have been stuck in the middle,” he said. “It’s unfortunate.”

Audrey’s future in school comes into question

E

ven though the Findlay Oval was pounding out ferocious heat, I felt a coldness in the kitchen, which had nothing to do with the fast-burning wood diminishing in the stove, or the drafts coming from the frost covered windows.

I sensed it as soon as I sat down at the supper table. It looked like my beloved sister Audrey had been crying. And Father’s Grace was shorter than usual. Everyone was quiet.

Even my rambunctious brothers, who usually jabbed elbows when they took their place behind the supper table on the long bench under the grape-arbour window, sat like stones.

What was happening? Why was everyone so quiet? Mother broke the long silence.

“It may not be for long,” she said, looking at Audrey. “Once we get straightened away, you could quit.”

Quit what? I knew I was too young to be caught up in serious talk, but wasn’t I old enough to know what was obviously happening to my sister to cause tears, and turn the kitchen into a room of such coldness?

Sitting beside Audrey, I reached over and took her

MARY COOK Memories hand without saying a word, and looked up at her.

“I may have to go into Renfrew to work.” Now the tears started to run down her cheeks like little rivers. “But you can’t. You are still in school!” I said.

It was Father who brought the whole issue to a head.

And as I listened I knew it wasn’t only for my benefit. He was trying to make sense of what was happening.

There just was no money. It was as simple as that.

It was the dead of winter, and there were no vegetables to sell, the egg-laying had slowed down; just enough for our own table. Mother’s blue jug was empty.

It had been a bad few months, Father said. There were bills to pay: Briscoe’s General Store, Scott’s Hardware, and a small bill owing at Ritza’s Drug Store.

Father went on. I knew it wasn’t for my benefit, but just to repeat what everyone else already knew: we needed money to get through the rest of the winter.

Father and Everett were getting a few Saturday’s work at Helferty’s bush, but that only paid a dollar a day. Emerson and Earl were left to do the chores.

Going into Renfrew every Saturday with homemade soap, sticky buns and a few eggs did little to fill the blue jug.

Not only for my benefit, I knew, but to once more try to justify what was happening, Mother tried to explain.

The woman who ran the beauty parlour would take Audrey on to do housework, and help look after her growing family.

She would live with them, work seven days a week, and

earn a few dollars which she would hand over to Mother and Father, and perhaps, Mother said, she may be able to keep a dollar for herself occasionally. Now, I was crying too.

“But what about school?” I asked. “Audrey is in the Entrance Class. How can you ask her to quit school when she only has a few more months to go?”

No one had an answer.

And there wasn’t much supper being eaten either.

I looked at the half-filled plates, and knew most of what was left would be going into the big granite soup pot on the back of the stove.

After the kitchen had been redded up, and the redchecked oilcloth wiped clean, no one made a move to enjoy the usual night-time activities around the table.

Father moved to the rocking chair by the stove, but the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened.

Even Mother made no effort to bring her beloved diaries down from the cupboard.

The only sound came from Emerson playing with a deck of cards, snapping one down after another onto the table, gathering them up, and starting all over again.

Father got up and began getting the Findlay Oval

ready for the night. Using the iron poker, he jabbed away at the fire bed, laying down a big log from the wood box inside, and moving the rocking chair away from the heat, something he did every night before we went to our beds.

Long before our usual time, we headed upstairs, Audrey leading the way with the coal oil lamp.

ers from fighting in the next room.

And what about Audrey? She had never been away from home before. Where would she sleep?

My silent prayers that night were long and meaningful, and I made a deal with God. If he would find a way to keep my beloved sister at home, at least until

I looked at the half-filled plates, and knew most of what was left would be going into the big granite soup pot on the back of the stove.

The bed was icy cold and that night Audrey took out the bedroll that separated us, tossing it on the floor, and put her arm around me.

I was sure she was pretending to be asleep, but I lay awake staring at the black ceiling, wondering what was happening to our family. My pillow was wet from silent tears, and I thought of the nights ahead when I would be alone in the big bed. There would be no one to sing me to sleep, or to stop the broth-

she finished at the Northcote School, I would be the best behaved girl in all of Renfrew County. Would He hear my prayers? Would my prayers alone save my sister Audrey from leaving home?

Algonquin theatre braces for 50 classic hits in two hours mdelaire@metroland.com

Taylor Campbell and his crew will Twist and Shout their way through a show on Feb. 17 that Campbell believes audiences at Algonquin Commons Theatre have never seen the likes of.

The stars of Four by Four have performed a medley of 50 songs for audiences in Canada and the United States and even on cruise ships. They’ve danced their way across stages on land and sea, and this month they’ll make their first ever appearance in Ottawa.

Spanning several decades of musical history, the show features some of the most well known tracks by the Beatles, the Beach Boys and the Bee Gees, as well as Motown artists. It’s an intense, choreographed retrospective; a tribute to the musicians on whose music generations were raised.

“There are a lot of tributes to ’60s and ’70s bands out there but what sets us apart

is, I think, the massive variety,” Campbell said from his Las Vegas home, adding that the show is divided into four parts: one each for the four groups that inspired it.

“In each of those sections we share some fun facts about the group that we’re celebrating. Every number is choreographed and we tell jokes and interact with each other so it’s a really fun, quick moving, high energy show.”

For Campbell, who was raised in Nevada listening to the classics, there’s a bit of himself in the show too.

“It’s hard not to love the music from all of these groups, they’re all such popular and universal songs as it is,” Campbell said. “But for me, I’ve always been a huge Beatles fan. From a young age I was exposed to them and I’ve always had an affinity with their songs.”

Campbell, 29, has worked with Rocklands Entertainment – the company that produces Four by Four – since he joined the cast

of its Frankie Valli tribute show Oh What a Night five years ago. Each of his Four by Four cast members also performs in Oh What a Night, and Campbell believes audiences can see the difference their previous experience working together makes on stage.

“I guess they just thought that we had the right look or vocal ranges and they asked us to be the original cast for Four by Four,” Campbell said, adding that the group first started performing Four by Four in May 2015.

“Even though we didn’t create the group ourselves, we genuinely do get along and I think you can see that on stage because we have good chemistry and rapport up there.”

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you assumed you were right on track, you soon will see why it isn’t safe to assume. Do not take anything for granted and consider all potential outcomes.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Interpersonal dynamics are constantly changing, and you may have a challenging time wrangling in your relationship to where it feels comfortable, Taurus.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even if you are uncertain about someone’s intentions, it is best to give that person the benefit of the doubt. However, an ounce of skepticism never hurt anyone.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is better to make your choices sooner rather than later this week. Putting decisions off only complicates matters. It may be an anxious time, but you will pull through.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Stop worrying about how others see you, Leo. This week own up to your beliefs, even if they seem to go against the norm. You may be surprised at the support you receive.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a hectic week leads to lots of demands on your time. Take things one task at a time and do not be afraid to say “no” if you feel you are overwhelmed.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, frustration at work may not be directed at any one person, and you can’t let it consume your life. Make the frustration work to your advantage instead.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Romantic thoughts this week will have you on a mission to spend quality time with a loved one, Scorpio. You may do everything in your power to be near your significant other.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Don’t try to erect barriers, Sagittarius. This week you have to let someone in and unburden some of the problems or thoughts that have been weighing you down.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Accomplish something important based on what you learn this week, Capricorn. Keep your eyes and ears open to all of the possibilities around you.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Try not to take the easy way out, Aquarius. When faced with some tough questions, stay strong and true to yourself. You will be happier in the long run if you do so.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, take some time off if your job seems like a headache this week. If you have the time, enjoy a long weekend or a short jaunt during the week.
