Mayor’s Cup to be better than ever Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
This year’s Grand Prix at Karter’s Korner promises to be bigger and better, says organizer Enrico Valente. The Mayor’s Cup of Wishes Charity Challenge Race will have more teams and hopefully raise more money. “Last year we raised $35,000, so we hope to do better than that for our second year,” Valente said, adding he’s pleased with the community support of the initiative. Funds raised will go to
help Roger’s House, Soldier on, the Ottawa Senators Foundation and Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Andrew Booth, with Access Rigging, the Carpbased company that provides all the structures to make the race look like Formula One, said owner Jeff Wingate got involved to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis because of his daughter. He said it takes about a week and a team of volunteers to get the scaffolding up for the score board. For more on the event, visit www.capitalkarting. com.

Former Osgoode councillor seeks nomination for new Carleton riding Kelly McCarthy kelly.mccarthy@metroland.com
Retirement just doesn’t suit him. Doug Thompson, a Greely local with more than 31 years of experience in local politics, recently announced his intent to seek nomination for the Ontario Progressive Conservative (PC) Party in the new riding of Carleton. “People keep asking me why I can’t just enjoy retirement,” Thompson said. “I guess I just feel I have more I can give.” In the 2018 provincial election, the existing provincial riding of Nepean-Carleton will be split in two. With cur-
rent MPP Lisa MacLeod having announced her intent to run in the Nepean riding, Thompson said he saw an opportunity to run in his hometown riding of Carleton. “I know the area,” he said. “I think I would be an asset to the community in an MPP role.” Thompson has been a resident of the local area for more than 40 years. He began his political career after retiring from 35 years as a teacher and principal, serving as a councillor of Osgoode for 14 years. He hung up his councillor’s hat when he was elected to be the mayor of Osgoode in 1997, where he served until amalgamation with the City
of Ottawa in 2000. From 2000 to 2014, Thompson resumed his position as an Osgoode councillor, this time within the city’s realm. He retired of his own accord in 2014 and has been busy ever since. “I’m still very active within the community,” he said. Thompson is involved in dozens of community organizations. He is the chair of the South Nation Conservation Authority, a director of Conservation Ontario, a director of the Greely Business Association, a director of the Metcalfe Agricultural Society and a director of the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association to name a few. Even so, he said he’s excited

about the opportunity to get back into politics on another level.“It’s something different. I’m ready for a new challenge,” he said. If he were to be successful in receiving the PC nomination and then in winning the election, Thompson said he has a good idea of what he’d like to champion. Energy costs for rural residents in particular, he said, are a major concern. “My first day on the job I’d be working on that,” he said. Thompson would also like to work on youth issues and engagement, programs and assistance for seniors and bettering the health care system. Thompson was quite involved in the opening of the Osgoode Youth Association (O-YA) and is still working with the Osgoode Care Centre board today. “I really, truly believe that my experience in local politics would be an asset on the provincial level,” he said, adding that his familiarity with the

area’s constituents would also be helpful. All in all, Thompson said the motivation to seek party nomination comes from a feeling that he still has a lot to give to his community. “I just feel I have a lot to offer,” he said. “Politicians have the power to get things done. You can help take care
of things that matter to the residents. “Politicians can make a difference if they really want to, and I want to make a difference.” The new riding of Carleton includes Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn.

More than 200 young members, representing 10 4H clubs, of the Eastern Ontario 4H association gathered at the Richmond Agricultural Fairgrounds on July 19. The annual event entitled the Carleton 4H Judging Night involved novice, junior, intermediate and senior 4H members from around the valley. The annual judging night is an important part of a 4H member’s year as it is important for them to attend the event prior to continuing on the 4H Achievement circuit at the Carp and Metcalfe Fairs. The points earned at all these events, which also requires a 50 per cent attendance at their local club meetings during the year, dictates who may be eligible to finish off their ’show’ year by being able to attend the biggest show of the year; The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. During the judging night the 4H members will, with clipboard in hand, study six commodities including beans and hay as well as dairy and beef cattle, miniature horses, sheep and a mystery class which on this occasion was maple syrup. The senior members are required to take an ‘extra quiz, that tests their knowledge of the many things they have learned over their time in 4H. The philosophy is that the testing deals with the many things they should have learned. Excellent weather and the addition of a canteen, supplied by the Carp 4H club helped make this year’s Judging Night, held in Richmond for more than 35 years, a good springboard to their upcoming Fall Fair Achievement days.

Every now and then, we are confronted with issues that are far more complex than others; issues that transcend government jurisdictions and divide communities. The prospect of a supervised injection site is one of those issues. Recently, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) released a public consultation survey on enhancing harm reduction services in Ottawa. This survey gives residents, community partners and businesses an opportunity to share with OPH their thoughts on enhancing harm reduction services in Ottawa. Please note that the survey is anonymous, confidential and voluntary.

The results of this survey will be used when making decisions about expanding harm reduction services, and will be made public in a summary report that will be posted on the OPH website. The survey will close on Monday, August 8th at midnight. This is a communitywide conversation and OPH wants the community’s voice to be heard to ensure that the public health needs of our community continue to be met and improved. You can complete the survey by visiting HaveYourSayOttawa.ca, or connect with OPH on Twitter and Facebook. The Province has said that Ottawa will only be home to a supervised injection site if the community wants it and Council supports it. I want to hear from you on this issue. I will tell you in advance that I very much struggle with this issue. The evidence in support of this type of facility shows that they do enhance safety among drug users. I am a big advocate for evidence-based decision making. Having said that, I find it extremely difficult reconciling the idea of supporting a facility that permits illicit drug use. Take some time, fill out the survey and you are more than welcome to contact me directly with your thoughts on the issue. At this point, there is nothing for Council to vote on so this issue is merely exploratory at this point in time.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Investigation must be thorough
C
an we all agree on a couple of things? Can we all agree that the Ottawa police officers now under investigation after a man died following an arrest July 24 did not wake up that morning and set out to hurt somebody? Can we all agree that police should be held to extremely high standards when they use force? That any use of force against citizens must be absolutely necessary? And that, after a full investigation, police who use excessive force should have to face the consequences of their actions if they are deemed to have crossed the line, just as residents who don’t wear a badge must? There are some people who think if police are involved in an incident that goes bad, particularly if it involves interactions with visible minorities, then the police must be guilty of something nefarious. And there are others who, regardless of what a police officer does, will defend an officer’s actions no matter what. They will always give police the benefit of the doubt by constantly pointing out that the average citizen can’t ever know the pressures an officer faces in the line of duty and thus can never really judge an officer’s actions because they haven’t walked
in that officer’s shoes. The people who hold such views, on both sides of that divide, will never see eye to eye when it comes to incidents such as the death of Abdirahman Abdi, 37. The man died after police responded to a call about a disturbance at a coffee shop in which it is alleged the dead man was involved, according to police Chief Charles Bordeleau, in “assaultive� behaviour. The provincial Special Investigations Unit – the civilian police watchdog – is currently investigating what happened after Ottawa police responded to the call on July 24. As the reaction to the Const. James Forcillo’s sentencing for attempted murder in Toronto last week shows, the police-are-always-wrong and the policeare-always-right camps will continue to make their political arguments regardless of outcomes. But for the majority of residents of this city, who fall into neither of those two camps, what is wanted is justice based on what a thorough and transparent investigation determines. Justice should indeed be blind – regardless of whether a person under investigation wears a badge or not.
Loving the germs around us
I
f you haven’t heard of Jason Tetro, the self-proclaimed “germ guy,� you may want to check him out. The microbiologist and author published a second book earlier this year on a subject many of us don’t like to think about – the billions of germs that exist in our environment and evolve rapidly, using our bodies as incubators. But here’s the thing: Tetro’s research shows that of germs that exist, there are about 12 damaging ones that most of us are exposed to regularly; there are some passive bystanders; and then there are tens of thousands of good germs, which we should be seeking out and embracing. As we move into the post-antibiotic era, Tetro believes people need
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse to get away from a war-againstgerm mentality toward a more loving relationship. We should be seeking out good germs to ward off the bad by touching dirt, wiping our hands under our armpits and eating fermented foods. He warns against getting sucked into savvy marketing scams around probiotic-boosted foods like yogurt, however. “I calculated at one time with one particular type of yogurt that
I needed to eat 1,000 little tubs� to get the probiotic benefits, Tetro told the CBC earlier this year, following the release of his second book, The Germ Files. Similarly, he says, not all probiotic pills have been proven in clinical trials and may be completely ineffective. “If all you’re doing is popping pills of bacteria, well, you might as well go eat some dirt,� said Tetro. For those of us living in the urban environment – especially if we’re living in close quarters high density buildings like condominium towers or hospitals – we are more likely to be victims of bad germs. Bad germs contribute to infections, poor mental health, allergies and asthma. Some studies have made the connection between bad

germ exposure and increased incidence of arthritis and even certain forms of cancer. But Tetro has some solid tips on how to go out and love the good germs, which will fight the war against the pathogens for you. “When you put good germs in there, they’re the cavalry,� Tetro told the CBC. “It will shove the bad bacteria out of the way because they love the intestinal lining more than the bad germs do.� They say you are what you eat. Rather than pill-popping, Tetro recommends eating two fermented foods each day. Some of his favourites are sauerkraut, pickles, kefir and kombucha, helping us to get the five billion units of good bacteria required daily to maintain good health. Get outside – even better if you can escape the city altogether, says Tetro. Going to a farm or into a forest environment helps expose us to good germs and form a natural EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: +PIO $VSSZ KPIO DVSSZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: +PIO #SVNNFMM KPIO CSVNNFMM!NFUSPMBOE DPN
defence against the bad microbes. Even opening a window is better than existing in a sterile environment, where pathogens are most likely to evolve and multiply. Tetro says this is something we’ve known for more than 100 years. “Florence Nightingale was able to stop hospital infections by opening windows,� Tetro said.

Wings of Steel campaign kicks off with Golf Classic The fundraiser was held by Debra Canada – a nationwide charity that offers support to people with EB and raises money to fund research. The treatment, which involves a kind of transplant with stem cells drawn from his mother’s bone marrow, will take up to a year. The fundraiser will help to fund the family’s living expenses while Jonathon receives treatment at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.
Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The Wings of Steel campaign kicked off with the release of butterflies at the Falcon Ridge Golf Club on July 22. The imagery was especially poignant given that Jonathon Pitre, known locally as the “butterfly child”, will be heading to Minneapolis in the United States for a potentially life-saving treatment. Jonathon, 16, has a rare disease called dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa – which causes his skin to blister and causes severe pain.

Public health urges residents to have their say Survey on harm reduction strategy deadline approaches Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to have their say on the fate of safe injection sites. The public survey on the city’s proposed enhancement to harm reduction services, namely safe injection sites for intravenous drug users, will close on Aug. 8. The board of health voted in favour of the report entitled Enhancing Harm Reduction Services – Data, Guiding Principle and Next Steps on June 20. The vote was 9 to 2 in favour of the report, which included the public consultation aspect regarding supervised injection site. Board chair and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri was one of the holdouts on the strategy, saying he wanted to wait on the outcome of the public consultation before giving his verdict on supervised injection sites. He recalled a 2010 visit to Insite in Vancouver, which was the first ever, safe injection site in North America.

“When we called the cab, and the driver asked us, ‘are you sure you want to go there?’” he said, adding the driver would only bring them a block away. That six-year old cab ride is what Qadri based his health board vote on.
“When we called the cab, and the driver asked us, ‘are you sure you want to go there?’” BOARD CHAIR AND STITTSVILLE COUN. SHAD QADRI
Toronto city council recently gave the green light to such sites in that city after its health board also approved the idea. The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre is well into planning to add an injection site to its existing nee-
dle exchange and methadone clinic. The clinic would be in the building at Rideau and Nelson streets. The approval of the health authority’s guidelines is just the first step. The federal government would have to approve each centre’s plan for a safe injection site and the city would have to approve each site individually once a plan is in place. The survey proposes three models: • A fixed service that is integrated within existing health and harm reduction services — like the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre’s needle exchange program. • A standalone service, not within existing health and harm reduction services. • A mobile service that can move around the city and meet clients where they are. The survey is open to anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Ottawa. It will close at midnight on Aug. 8. The survey is online at HaveYourSayOttawa.ca.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri says he will wait on the results of the survey before he decides on supervised injection sites.

‘Butterfly child’ to head to Minneapolis for innovative treatment Continued from page 13
The provincial government is funding the procedure – but the family will need help with additional medical costs and living expenses. For Jonathon, giving up a year of his life now for the treatment, will hopefully mean more time with his family later. Without the treatment, Jonathon could die before he reaches the age of 20. Most people with ag-
gressive forms of the disease such as Jonathon’s die of skin cancer at a young age. For Jonathon’s mom, Tina Boileau, the treatment is scary because it’s unknown, but she hopes it will give Jonathon a new lease on life. “It’s by no means a cure,” she said. “But, hopefully, he will be in less pain and able to walk some.” Boileau said in addition to donating bone marrow, she will donate skin for grafts as well. The hope is that after the trans-
plant, Jonathon’s skin is able to retain some elasticity and regenerate. “He’s very brave and resilient,” Boileau said of Jonathon, adding she will miss her home and her 14-year-old daughter while she’s in Minneapolis, but the family will keep in touch via Skype, FaceTime and regular visits. “This is very temporary,” she said, adding Jonathon has to stay to make sure the procedure is successful and that his body doesn’t
reject the transplants. Right now, Jonathon can’t walk much, attend school or play any sports, but he’s never allowed that to get him down. He said the hardest part of the treatment for him will be being away from his best friend, Gibson, the family’s Boston terrier. Jonathon said he’s taught the dog to use FaceTime so he can see and talk to him while he’s away. Jonathon is set to be in the United States on Aug. 22, and while he’s
nervous, he’s excited too. “It would be silly if I wasn’t nervous,” he said, adding it’s a very invasive procedure. “But I hope to gain some time with my family and it could change my life.” Boileau said it took a lot of coordination to get the treatment, but she hopes Jonathon will blaze a trail for other Canadians suffering from EB. “I hope that it makes it easier for other families to access the procedure,” she said.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
August 4th 2016
Hello residents,
For the second year in a row, Karter’s Korners is hosting a grand prix to raise money for local charities.
As many of you may be aware, a new medicinal marijuana dispensary, Magna Terra, is slated to open soon at 83 Iber Road. This will be the City of Ottawa’s sixth unlicensed marijuana dispensary of a potential nine in the coming months. Licensed dispensaries, such as the one in Smiths Falls aptly named “Tweed”, operate on a mail-order basis. Doctor’s prescriptions can be submitted and product is handled and packaged in a plant before being delivered directly to its recipient. These services are safe, reliable, and ensure that all operations are within the guidelines sanctioned by the government of Ontario.
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Unlicensed dispensaries, alternatively, do not operate within these same regulations. Following my discussions with owner, Franco Vigile, Magna Terra on Iber Road will operate as a storefront business, dispensing medicinal marijuana to anyone presenting a valid doctor’s prescription. I have been assured that at this particular facility, a doctor will be on site for review. Additionally, no product will be available within the visible sales floor. I will reiterate that while I appreciate the medicinal benefits that marijuana may provide to patients suffering from both physical and mental illnesses, an operation of this nature opening and operating willingly without a license is irresponsible to both local residents and clientele being serviced – particularly when licensed channels such as the marijuana manufacturing plant, Tweed, already operate effectively for residents of Ottawa. One of my major concerns remains the problems posed in location as 83 Iber Road is a mere 15 minute walk from both Jean Paul II Elementary and Paul-Desmarais High School, a factor that would have been taken into consideration by a licensed establishment. I understand the need for a market of this nature but there is a time and a place for everything; as the federal government works to legalize sale of the drug and proper mechanisms are implemented to take circumstances like this into consideration, only then will the concerns and needs of all residents be heard. The City does not license or otherwise regulate (other than through zoning) this type of activity and until they are opened, there is little Police can do but monitor the establishment. Similarly, if any food or beverage items are to be sold, approval must be given through health inspection. Until that time, I will work closely with Ottawa Police to ensure that this facility does not over step the bounds of what is legal and that community needs are met. I would still like to request resident feedback on this dispensary. If you have not already, please share with me your thoughts and ideas by emailing me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca
Fernbank/Blackstone Community Park Timelines The large community park in Blackstone will be 3.25 hectares (8 acres +/-) and will service a large area of the Fernbank community and will be located southwest of the intersection of Rouncey Road and Groningen Street. This community park serves both the Blackstone and Fernbank Crossing (Regional Group) developments. The total combined unit total is 2,800 (+/-). Mattamy Homes is going to confirm the building permit numbers that we are at now, however, between themselves and the Regional Group buildings it was estimated they are at about 500 to 600. Therefore the estimated timeline as to when we will see this park getting built will be in 2-3 years at the earliest. When the park features are planned there will be an opportunity for community input as the City and the developers work together on the design of the park. A detailed plan has not been developed at this time but City Planner for the Park has developed a Facility Fit plan for the Community Park in Blackstone including the following list of potential facilities, please note that it is likely this list could change and it is only intended as a preliminary concept list: Dry play area (junior, senior toddler, swings), Splash pad water play, Shade/shelter, Fully boarded rink with lights and multiuse court (basketball), Double tennis court with lights, Intermediate soccer field, Full sized soccer field, Parking, Pathways, benches, waste receptacles, Planting – trees and shrubs, Open green space – unstructured area. It was also noted that the City is considering the addition of a community sized skateboard park in this park, however this would require removal of one of the other components within this park as it must stay within the target budget for the park. There are a number of parks planned for the Fernbank Community and the general locations of these parks were identified in the Fernbank Community Design Plan, you can view the park locations on the Fernbank CDP Demonstration Plan available on my website www.shadqadri.com. In addition to Neighbourhood and Community Sized Parks there is also a District Park planned which will be a larger recreation complex with indoor facilities. The development of these additional parks are tied to the development as it progresses in this area and at this time I do not have any firm timelines.
Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

Karter’s Korner has become a Goulbourn landmark John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Karter’s Korner has become a landmark, not only for those giving directions in the area but also for those following in the fun footsteps of a couple of previous generations. Becoming a landmark was the farthest thing from the mind of the founders back in the late 1970’s when they were seeking a site for a planned go-kart track. Since the site had to be purchased, this property at the southeast corner of Huntley Road and Fallowfield Road in rural Goulbourn was as close as they could get to the city given the funds available. But little did they realize that their Karter’s Korner at this intersection of two paved rural roads would become a directional signpost for motorists 30 years hence. “It’s a landmark, it’s a landmark,” one of those founders, Paul Joinette, has said. People giving directions to those unfamiliar with the area now relate turns and directions to Karter’s Korner – “Take a left at Karter’s Korner and…”, they say. But probably just as surprising in some ways has been the ongoing appeal of Karter’s Korner. This may be because there has been a constant drive to improve the fun activities and offerings at Karters Korner and to focus on customer satisfaction. This attitude has resulted new generations of youngsters finding and enjoying Karter’s Korner. The kids of the kids of the kids who initially enjoyed Karter’s Korner back when it opened in 1980 are now showing up at the facility today. In addition, parents who had worked at Karter’s Korner during their youth, earning their way through school, are now showing up with their kids in tow, ready to have a good time together at the myriad of fun activities at Karter’s Korner. Paul Joinette traces the beginnings of Karter’s Korner back to more than three decades ago when he and the others who eventually began Karter’s Korner were admitted racing enthusiasts. He was involved in developing a go-kart track in Quyon and then in 1978, he and his partners purchased the former gravel pit at the corner of Fallowfield Road and Huntley Road in Goulbourn. The plan had been to open in 1979 but a rezoning delayed the timetable, with the half mile track eventually opening in July, 1980. There was not much initially, just the shorter
paved track, a small building and a gas depot. Having only one building initially proved challenging, as it had to house the mechanic’s shop, storage, an office and a canteen. However, in 1982, a new main building was constructed and the growth of Karter’s Korner was underway. A 18 hole miniature golf course was added in 1987. New obstacles and a pinball win-a-free-game were installed. The introduction of miniature golf in 1987 was followed by the battery powered four wheel Kiddy Karts about 1992 and the semiaquatic driving range featuring four island greens in 1999. The driving range sees golfers able to drive balls over water and onto the island greens. Two beach volleyball courts and a paved basketball court were also developed, while a covered patio area with picnic tables was also installed at the same time as the opening of the driving range. Karter’s Korner also has an arcade and there is a canteen which serves water, juice, soft drinks, chops, popcorn and nachos. Karter’s Korner is now also home of Splatterville Paintball, a cluster of buildings that provides the backdrop for the activities of paintball enthuaists. Karter’s Korner started with 20 go-karts, with the fleet being changed in 1993 when a requirement for seat belts and roll bars came in. The track was lengthened to just under a mile in length to become the longest go-kart track in Ontario and the go-kart fleet was expanded to 40 singles and eight doubles. Over the years, go-karts have been the stalwart attraction at Karter’s Korner. Karters Korner operates from generally May through October, closing for the season depending on the weather. Last year Karter’s Korner became the site for the inaugural Capital Karting Grand Prix featuring the Mayor’s Cup of Wishes fundraiser as well as competitive kart racing. With 3,000 people attending and $35,000 raised for charity, the inaugural event was judged successful and the Capital Karting Grand Prix is back again this year, bigger and better but still with free admission for spectators. This year the Capital Karting Grand Prix is taking place on Saturday, Aug. 6 and Sunday, Aug. 7
Supporters raise $88,700 for autism program in 33 days Kanata-based federal charity offers early intervention program free-of-charge
Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Generous supporters and donors raised a whopping $88,700 in one month for QuickStart Early Intervention for Autism. The Kanata-based federal charity fully funds KickStart, a “life-changing program” for toddlers on the autism spectrum while supporting parents and families. It is well on its way to reaching its goal of $200,000 for this year, said Suzanne Jacobson, founder and president of QuickStart. “Last year our charity was able to fund 33 toddlers in our innovative KickStart program at a cost of $4,000 per child,” she said. “Without our KickStart program these young children would be waiting years for services, missing that critical early intervention window.” Jacobson’s two grandsons spurred her to create the program in Ottawa. Her first grandson, Alexander, missed out on a lot of opportunities due to wait times, she said. He was 20 months old before he was identified on the autism spectrum, 30 months old before he was diagnosed, and Alexander didn’t start in an intensive therapy program until he was four-and-a-half years old. “He really missed out. He missed out because the doctor wanted to wait and see so it was hard to get someone to listen,” said Jacobson. “When you miss that window of opportunity you’re not getting it back ... we don’t have crystal balls, we don’t know what’s going to happen or the end result – but I know if we don’t (start therapy early) it impacts them quite significantly.” When her second grandson came along, the process moved much quicker. Nathan was identified on the autism spectrum at 18 months and diagnosed at 21 months. Within a week, he was in speech therapy. At two years old, he began the intensive behaviour program based on the Early Start Denver Model, which is what KickStart is modelled after. “By the time he was four-and-a-half, the age his brother finally got into the intensive behaviour program here, Nathan no longer required therapy,” said Jacobson. “He integrated fully into his local school. He still has autism, make no mistake — he still has difficulties with social and communication. But wow, he’s just come leaps and bounds.” KickStart has no wait times for its pro-

gram thanks to a partnership with Emerging Minds. As a federal charity it can operate across Canada. One client who used the service came from Nunavut, and sessions took place over Internet video messaging. FUNDING
QuickStart was founded in 2008 and its programs are offered at no cost to families. Aside from the KickStart program – which receives about 75 per cent of fundraised dollars – QuickStart also offers two-day respite stays at local hotels for parents at no cost. Last year, the organization was able to fund 30 stays. The federal charity receives no government funding and relies on donations, foundation grants and community support, said Jacobson. She volunteers all of her time to operate QuickStart. “This is the cause of my heart,” she said. “When you have parents hearing words from their child for the first time, it’s incredible.” Six fundraisers were held from May 29 to June 30, bringing the organization closer to its $200,000 goal for 2016. • The third annual Camelot-QuickStart Charity Golf Tournament for Autism at the Camelot Golf and Country Club in Cumberland raised $64,700. • The fourth annual Art for Autism, host-

KRC, Walter Baker Park revamp in the works Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is floating the idea of an official running and cycling track at Walter Baker Park near the Kanata Recreation Complex. The councillor is also looking at upgrading the recreation facility with a possible addition, a digital sign that would promote programming, events and generate ad revenue, and is in talks with sponsors who would receive naming rights. “This is a priority for me. This is something I want to get done,” he said. Walter Baker Park, located off Terry Fox Drive, needs a new name since it’s sometimes confused with the Walter Baker Sports Centre in Nepean, he said. “We talked to the Baker family and worked out what that’s going to look like,” he said. “We’re not going to lose that recognition piece, we’re just going to take away the confusion.” The city would continue to operate the facility. A potential sponsor – although he wouldn’t say who – wants to build a two-storey addition onto
the facility with public space and sports use on the main level and offices on the top, said Hubley. “There’s lots of different options for what this could look like. We’re going into it with a very open mind,” he said. “We’ve already talked to several different potential sponsors about different packages and what it would look like.” He said public consultation on the project will most likely happen. “Probably once something’s starting to come together really, really well we’ll try and get consultation going really fast before anything’s signed,” said Hubley. “At what point we get into public consultation is hard to predict, but at the earliest possible time I will want to go out and talk to the community. “Whatever happens, it’s going to be good for the community. It’s going to be a better park and location for folks or else we don’t go ahead and do it.” The 2.5 kilometre race track identified in a draft plan is a mix of paved, unpaved and gravel paths. If necessary, the track could be completely paved and the shape of the path would be altered. The councillor is in talks with
various running and race groups to see if this is something they would use. An official track would help groups cut down on insurance costs for race events, he said. “When you organize a race, where your insurance costs and everything go high is because you’re trying to do road closures. You need a lot of volunteers to man those road closures. If it involves an intersection, you have to hire police,” said Hubley.
“This is a priority for me. This is something I want to get done.” ALLAN HUBLEY
“It drives your costs way up. If we could do races or walks in the park, you don’t need any of those costs. So you could actually organize a race for very little cost.” Hubley said if all goes well, he’s hoping to have the project finished by 2017.
There’s a better way to build wealth
FILE
A running and cycling track is being proposed for Walter Baker Park in Kanata. The draft plan measures the path at 2.5 kilometres long.

Take your voice beyond the shower with ladies chorus The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC) mixes it up, singing selections from the classics, secular, popular, show tunes, jazz and swing. And they have fun doing it. Consider taking your voice beyond the shower and joining a group that not only sings but enjoys a vital social atmosphere. Enthusiasm is the key ingredient needed to become one of the 'Ladies'. Anyone who is not familiar with WOLC can check them out on Face-
book or iTunes. Rehearsals are scheduled to start mid September and there are a few openings in each vocal range. Don't read music? Director Robert Dueck prepares each vocal part on MP3s to take away the fear and enable members to learn their parts at home. WOLC hold rehearsals twice weekly so members can choose which is more convenient or they can attend both. This young dynamic group, now in its fifth year, has grown from a mere twelve to over thirty voices.

My ex-wife and I are divorced. We separated 5 years ago, and since then we have shared parenting of our two daughters, who rotate between our homes on a weekly basis. We generally get along on parenting matters. I’ve taken a new job in Toronto, and would like to have the girls relocate there with me. What is my legal position? Moving with children is what is known as a “mobility” case in law. If you have a separation agreement, you should first see if there are any provisions about notifying her of your intention to move with the kids. These cases are difficult, because there is generally no satisfactory compromise position, and court decisions are difficult to predict.

Committed to bringing joy to the community, the WOLC perform at local senior's residences leading up to a full concert performance.

Dinner honouring Rev. Michel Dubord on his retirement John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
He was lured there under false pretences but there was nothing false about the feelings of fellowship and good wishes which followed as Rev. Michel Dubord was honoured by his parishioners at a dinner event at Royals Restaurant in Richmond on Tuesday evening, July 26. Parishioner Bill Reid had told Rev. Dubord that the Richmond District Lions Club and the Richmond Agricultural Society wanted to take him to dinner that evening in view of his impending early retirement after 18 years as the rector of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond. And when they arrived at Royals Restaurant, site of the proposed dinner meeting, they were greeted not with some Lions and Agricultural Society members but with a restaurant packed with St. John’s parishioners, all of whom had arrived ear-
lier and filled up the Perth Street restaurant, there to await the arrival of Rev. Dubord in the company of Bill Reid. Rev. Dubord arrived at 6:18 p.m. wearing shorts and a Richmond 200th anniversary t-shirt, being caught totally by surprise. “Wasn’t Sunday enough?” he asked rhetorically, referring to the open house which had been held at the St. John’s church hall just two days before on Sunday, July 24 at which parishioners and community members said a formal farewell to the long serving minister and his wife Kathy. Rev. Dubord made a quick trip around the restaurant, greeting many of those present. After the saying of “Grace,” Rev. Dubord and his wife Kathy, who had been at the restaurant with those awaiting Michel’s arrival with Bill Reid, then were to lead off the line for the buffet dinner which featured salads, corn on the

But instead of leading the line, Michel and Kathy stationed themselves at the beginning of the buffet and greeted and chatted with each parishioner as they approached the buffet. Eventually Michel and Kathy entered the buffet line and then ate at a table with Ray Wells and Bill Reid.
But this event was more than just a dinner; it was also a “roast” and Bill Reid, the one who had been tasked to luring Michel to the event under false pretences, took to the microphone to lead off the “roast.” In his remarks, he noted that Rev. Dubord was making available to anyone who wanted them 100 of his re-
flections as published in the Richmond Legion’s newsletter as well as 18 years’ worth of his seasonal reflections, a total of 299 pages in all. Bill called these pages bedside reading and a cure for any insomnia that he might have. Indeed, he said that his greatest fear was that Rev. Dubord would also be making available to parishioners
18 years worth of his sermons while at St. John’s. He reminded Michel that they had cried together, had prayed together, had argued together and had laughed together over the years. “You have been my champion over the years,” Bill said about Michel. See AFTER, page 26

After 18 years as rector at St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond Continued from page 25
Other speakers in this “roast” portion of the evening included Ray Wells who told about the challenges related to the “clicker” used for the church’s audio visual presentations; Carole Luff who praised Michel for his accessibility and his ability to put people completely at ease when with them, ending her remarks with a toast in Michel’s honour; Mark Dickinson whose joke filled remarks brought forth lots of laughter as he recited Michel’s talents as a tolerant preacher, a court jester, a knowledgeable counsellor and a comedian; Winston Bourne who thanked Michel for 18 years of beautiful sermons and for the love given to the community; Dave and Lynne Pearen who were not present but who provided a written message, pointing out Michel’s dressing up over the years as a surfer, a leprechaun, a farmer, a sports hero, a clown and, perhaps his most famous one, a bride; Terry Mills

involved, with those hearing the words going away with a “wow feeling” in their hearts; Paul Langman who reminded Michel that
farming and retirement are not the same; and Marsha Deyell who said, “Michel has done wonders for me and for St. John’s Anglican
Church and many other parishioners.” In his windup remarks at the event, Rev. Dubord thanked everyone for attending, saying that the event was “absolutely overwhelming.” He said that it has been an honour being the rector of such a congregation for 18 years, saying that as a group they have laughed together and have also cried together, having grown close to each other in the process. He said that they all were the “most cherished friends” of both himself and his wife Kathy. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,” he said in ending his remarks, after which he asked for a moment to soak up the atmosphere and feeling that was prevalent in the restaurant. Silence prevailed as Michel, standing at the podium, slowly looked around the restaurant, soaking up the scene. “Thank you,” he said as he completed his silent survey of the room and all those present.
He then led a prayer asking God to continue to look after the St. John’s community where, he said, so many work so hard to do God’s work in Richmond and beyond. A standing ovation followed his remarks, after which a round of “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow” broke out among those present. And as the gathering broke up just before 9 p.m., there was Michel at the doorway of the restaurant, shaking hands or hugging those leaving, sharing a word with them and displaying that concern and appreciation for others which he has demonstrated throughout his 18 years as rector of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond. Rev. Dubord will be officiating at his final worship service at St. John’s Anglican Church on Sunday, Aug. 7, after which he is taking early retirement. He and his wife Kathy have some land in the Perth area which is going to play a role, as yet undetermined, in their future.

Tread lightly with changes to community policing model: councillor Board will need to monitor future changes for impact to neighbourhoods Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Coun. Keith Egli is asking the police services board to tread lightly when it comes to upcoming community policing model changes. Currently, each of the city’s 15 community police officer are assigned to an area, with the city divided into sub-sections such as Kanata, Barrhaven, Bayshore or Cyrville. Under the new model, there will be 10 community police officers, who will work under the same structure as school resource officers: they’ll have a high priority, secondary and tertiary priority neighbourhoods. “We are looking to match resources to community needs,” Deputy Chief Jill Skinner told the police board at a July 25 meeting at city hall. There would also be a secondary officer assigned
for each of the communities. Part of the reasoning for the model change is to focus more resources into areas where there are frequent complaints or serious problems.
“This doesn’t look like it’s going to deliver the type of trust relationship that works for us...” CARL NICHOLSON
But Egli, who represents the Knoxdale-Merivale ward, said his residents are concerned the changes will be a “serious misstep” and they’re happy with the current model. Egli doesn’t sit on the police services board, and spoke as a public delegation. He said he has concerns the police are shifting from a proactive to a reac-

tive approach, and thinks neighbourhoods will notice a negative impact. He urged board members to ensure the process and its impact is robustly monitored, and that the proposed community advisory committee have urban, suburban and rural representation monitored by the board. “If this plan is going ahead, and apparently it is, monitoring is the next best step you can take,” Egli said. Skinner said the model will be evaluated as it’s implemented, but she stands behind the new model that she said will be more effective, with a central centre taking information and measuring where the most policing is needed in the city. “With any change, it’s important to understand that you need to measure if it’s efficient and effective and you have to be open to making changes if it’s not effective,” Skinner said.
“We will continue to look at what this model will mean for the community once we put the people into the community.” Crime Prevention Vanier’s Lucie Marleau said she hopes that the small transfers of knowledge from the community members to the community police officer can still continue once the changes are made, such as reports of “sketchy” things happening in the neighbourhood. Those small, day-to-day interactions build trust between the officer and neighbourhood residents, she said, though she supports the changes being made overall. “This doesn’t look like it’s going to deliver the type of trust relationship that works for us,” said board member Carl Nicholson. “It’s been brought to my attention, quite forcefully by a large number of people, that we’re going in the wrong direction. So if we are, we need to have a tool that lets us know quickly.”

Nurses Association ‘appalled’ by dismissal of charges against Royal President defends patient protocol Jennifer McIntosh

Ontario Nurses Association vice-president Vicki McKenna said the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre needs a wake-up call. McKenna said in a press release on July 15 that she was appalled by a court’s decision to dismiss all charges against the hospital in the 2012 attack on four staff by a patient with schizophrenia. The charges were laid under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The patient choked one nurse into unconsciousness and choked and hit three more. The case has been in court since November 2014. The nurses association and the Crown prosecutor asserted that the hospital didn’t do enough to warn staff that the patient was violent. The association called for an appeal of the decision. “This is a sad day for Ontario’s health care workers,” McKenna said. “This not only affects ONA’s 62,000 registered nurses and allied health professionals, but we continue to be deeply concerned about insufficient security and other safety measures for those provid-
ing patient care at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.” George Weber, the hospital’s president, said in an email the administration is pleased with the decision. “We are very pleased the court found that reasonable precautions, policies, procedures and training were in place at the time of this incident,” he wrote. “The safety of our staff is of utmost importance to us and it is truly unfortunate that some employees were injured. We work continuously to promote safety for staff while respecting the rights and dignity of our patients.” But McKenna said the administration needs a wake-up call and pointed out that the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group’s Brockville site is currently facing five charges under the same Act for an incident where a nurse was stabbed in the throat by a patient. That trial is set to resume in August. Weber said the centre’s clients are people suffering from severe and complex mental illnesses and addictions and are a vulnerable population. “Our goal is always to maintain a safe environment for our staff and a therapeutic environment for our clients,” Weber said.

Police want speed board data Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Ottawa police are developing a process to get their hands on the data that city councillors can currently access from the speed boards that they put up within their wards. Coun. Tim Tierney asked at the July 25 Police Services Board meeting at city hall if the data collected by the speed boards could be used to assign traffic officers. “We have 23 councillors running around putting up speed boards,” Tierney said. “I want to be able to feed that information into the system.” Deputy police chief Jill Skinner said she previously wasn’t
aware of how much data the city councillors have available to them as a result of the speed boards in their wards. “We are developing a process for all that data to filter in,” she said. The data can help determine where traffic officers are most needed. One of main complaints that many city councillors get is due to traffic and speeding within their wards, Tierney said. FILE
Speed boards flash a driver’s speed as they pass. Many councillors have had speed boards installed in problem areas or streets in their wards to help calm traffic.

Ottawa Humane Society loses policing powers Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
The Ottawa Humane Society has lost its policing powers and affiliate status with the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and it’s taking the OSPCA to court to get them back. With 34 animal abuse investigation cases open, 17 charges before the courts and two court-ordered inspections pending, OHS executive director Bruce Roney said the Nepeanbased organization’s polic-
ing powers were suspended by the OSPCA on July 18. As a result, its six officers are no longer able to investigate potential incidents of animal abuse and neglect or enforce animal welfare laws, Roney said. “There’s now a void in animal protection in Ottawa,” Roney said in a press release. “And we’re scrambling to make sure that no animals fall through the cracks.” According to a notice of motion filed by the OHS on July 26, the trouble began during the OSPCA’s annual general meeting on June 15,
2015, when the OHS raised some concerns it has with the OSPCA’s governance. Among them were con-
ing for election as directors of the OSPCA. In October 2015, Roney and former OHS chair
“There’s now a void in animal protection
in Ottawa, and we’re scrambling to make sure that no animals fall through the cracks.” BRUCE RONEY, OHS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
cerns about non-secret ballots during votes among members and about a ban by the OSPCA on employees of the affiliated societies stand-
Christian Tacit met with representatives of the OSPCA to discuss their concerns. After the meeting, Roney
said in a sworn affidavit, the OHS invited the OSPCA to continue discussions about those concerns, but that the conversation ended there. The OHS alleges that on April 15, 2016, it and other affiliated societies under the OSCPA received a letter from the OSPCA explaining that on April 9 it had temporarily suspended all affiliates’ status, enacted a new bylaw without allowing affiliates to review it first, and then reinstated the affiliates’ status. That new bylaw, Roney
said, changes the OSPCA’s board to a “governancefocused” one, taking voting rights from affiliates and placing them exclusively with its own directors. “Losing voting rights harms the OHS’s ability to advocate at the provincial level for the animals and for our community,” Roney said in a press release. “This is both an important responsibility as well as a legislatively-enshrined right.” See ORGANIZATION, page 34

Much more than a taxi, volunteer drivers are a source of consistency in the children’s lives.

The Ottawa Humane Society says it has lost its power to investigate animal cruelty cases after an Ontario SPCA decision to suspend its affiliate status. The animal welfare organization will appear in court on Aug. 8 seeking an injunction against the OSPCA to restore its affiliate status. director would not comment on the claims while “the matter is before the court on a very tight schedule and our formal response is being prepared.” However, Cross said the
OSPCA will continue to provide full service to the Ottawa area. She urged anyone with concerns about the welfare of an animal to contact the OSPCA.

“done in bad faith or for an improper purpose.” On June 24, the OHS sent a letter to the OSPCA seeking a reversal and a response to its letter by July 13. On July 18, the OHS received a letter from the OSPCA stating that its affiliate status and policing powers were suspended. “We’ve been the go-to animal rescue agency for 128 years,” Roney said in a press release. “The actions of the OSPCA take away our ability to save dogs from hot cars and leave our cases against animal abusers in limbo.” Claims made by the OHS have not yet been proven in court as of publication. The OHS is seeking a temporary injunction against the OSPCA to restore its status and was scheduled to appear in court on July 28, but that proceeding has been adjourned to Aug. 8.

The girl with too many books: solution Books for Africa Addy Strickland
collected 4,133 books, and raised $1,000 to help combat illiteracy. I had not only surpassed my original goal, but had quadrupled it: 4,133 books, all headed towards a cause that I was passionate about. Those numbers are bigger than any I would ever have predicted, but what I was most impacted by was the enormous amount of support I received throughout the entire process.
Special to the News
When I was in Grade 7, I was invited to join my school’s ‘Character Crew’ - a group dedicated to fundraising and raising awareness for local and global issues. I still have that invitation to this day - although only recently have I realized its significance as my introduction to the world of social justice - a world that would soon become a huge part of my life. That was five years ago, and since then a lot has changed. I’ve grown confident in my skills as a leader, and I’ve connected with certain issues more than others, some of which I now identify as things I am passionate about changing. One of these issues is education. I have always been someone to whom school is enjoyable. I love learning, am an enormous bookworm, and admittedly a bit of a teacher’s pet, so the idea that there were kids in the world who would never get the chance to experience the joys of education really struck a chord with me. In the summer of 2014, I decided to do something about it, and so I came up with a plan. I wanted to
People I had never met were calling and emailing to ask how they could help, the kindergarten students at my elementary school walked their books down the corridor to carefully place them in the donation bins, and people from two towns over showed up to the event with trailers full of books they’d collected from their own communities.

Addy Strickland perches on all the boxes of books she has collected to send to Africa. send books to Africa to help combat illiteracy, and set my goal at 1,000 books. The destination, Africa, as I found in my research, is a continent home to a large portion of the world’s one billion illiterate people. The organization I would be working with, Books for Africa, would reach out to specific communities and distribute what I had collected later, based on individual needs. I spent the majority of my free time from then on planning out ev-
ery possible detail - shipping sponsors, advertising, media outreach, community and school involvement, and so much more. By the time I launched the drive in April of 2015, I had three different schools hosting book collections, I had sponsors to cover the shipping fees of my 1,000book goal, and space for a coffee house featuring local authors and student musicians. Within the first few weeks, I had already surpassed my goal. By the end of the drive in mid-March, I had

Summer weekends were kept busy with visitors
O
n most hot summer weekends, we could expect any number of cousins, aunts and uncles to find their way out to the farm in Northcote. Mother said it was to escape the heat of the city. We never knew who was coming, but Mother was always prepared. Extra loaves of bread, sticky buns and pies filled the bake table and the narrow shelf underneath it. No one would go away hungry! If they came on Saturday and stayed over until Sunday, that meant my three brothers would have to bed down in the tent in the yard, giving up the back bedroom upstairs. Of course, my cousin Richard, a couple years younger than I was, was thrilled to be able to sleep outside with the older boys in a tent. His mother, my aunt Lily, protective of her
MARY COOK Memories only child, could be heard slipping out the kitchen door a couple times through the night to make sure nothing had happened to her son, which of course, would waken everyone up. Especially Audrey and me who had been moved to the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. Of course, as soon as the door was open, our old Collie dog Sport would start to bark, and the whole house would be wide awake. But no one seemed to
mind, because having a house full of company on a weekend broke the monotony on the farm. The only problem was that Aunt Vanetta, a devout Catholic, insisted on being driven into Renfrew on Sunday morning for Mass, and I wasn’t sure what good it did, because Uncle Johnny, could be heard swearing a blue streak all the way out to his car, and it was a known fact he refused to darken the door of the church, but sat out Mass in his car, blowing
blue smoke out the window from his ever-present cigar. And the weekend was like one long party! There was always lots of music and singing, and Uncle Johnny was always telling jokes that Mother laughed at but said weren’t fit for the ears of young children. Aunt Vanetta was like a little bird, small and dainty, with a cloud of white hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen. Her daughter Aunt Lily was tall and stately, and even though she was coming out to a farm, she arrived wearing white gloves and a beautiful hat, and we never saw the same one twice. I used to dream that she was a relative to the Queen, because of the hats she wore. And I was sure she was pretty rich too...wasn’t she the telephone operator at the Chateau Laurier hotel? My cousin Richard was game for anything.
He loved playing in the hay mow, which just happened to be one of my favourite places on the farm too. We would climb the little ladder in the end of the cow byre and run madly through the hay and then push a pile of it down through the opening in the floor, and jump down the hole, and then do the whole exercise over again. We would be covered with bits and pieces of hay and chaff. Mealtime was a challenge for Mother. Everyone couldn’t sit at the old pine table, so two planks were brought in and put on the backs of chairs, covered with a heavy quilt and then a couple flour bag sheets, and the overflow ate there. By the time Mother had the meal ready, the kitchen would be like a blasting furnace, but Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lily said it was cooler than in Ottawa, and dug right in mashing potatoes,
making gravy, or cutting pies. By late Sunday, the company was ready to go home. And I often wondered if they were as rich as I thought they were. Because before the car left the yard, boxes would be tied to the running board, and they would be filled with meat from the smoke house, a couple cleaned chickens, and bags of vegetables from the garden. Aunt Vanetta always fell into Mother’s arms before she climbed into the car, thanking her and saying something. She’d say “Thank you Mabel...you’ve saved our lives. We’ll sure eat well for a long time to come.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

A new twist on a summer dessert An Ontario spin on a traditional tiramisu, ripe Ontario peaches bring a taste of summer to every bite. Great as a crowd pleaser for a special occasion. Preparation Time: 25 minutes Chilling Time: 4 to 6 hours or overnight Serves 12 INGREDIENTS
• 1 container (275 g) mascarpone cheese • 6 large peaches • 1/4 cup (50 mL) orange liqueur • 2 cups (500 mL) 35% whipping cream • 2 tbsp (25 mL) icing sugar • 24 large Italian-style ladyfingers Garnish: 1 large peach PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove mascarpone from refrigerator to soften, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and pit peaches; set aside three. Coarsely chop remaining peaches and purée in food processor or blender until smooth. Add orange liqueur and pulse until combined. Pour into shallow bowl; set aside. Gently, pulse remaining peaches in food processor or blender until slightly chunky. In large chilled bowl, using electric mixer, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Using the
same beaters and in separate bowl, beat mascarpone and icing sugar together until soft. Add mascarpone to whipped cream and gently beat until well combined. Fold in slightly chunky peaches. Break ladyfingers in half and dip one at a time into the peach liqueur mixture to absorb liquid. Place both halves into the bottom of each one cup (250 mL) stemmed glass or dessert dish. Spoon about two tbsp (25 mL) of whipped cream mixture into each glass. Repeat with second layer of ladyfingers, making sure they are well dipped in the peach liqueur mixture. Top each glass equally with the remaining whipped cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate four to six hours or overnight. Garnish: Just before serving, dice remaining peach and spoon on top.

Friend of deceased inmate wants people to see beyond addiction Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
April Donovan first met Shannon Sargent on the streets. Donovan said she was a 17-year-old addict and Sargent took her under her wing. “She was always very nice to me and we became good friends,” Donovan wrote in an email. A few days after her former friend was found dead in her cell at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre on Innes Road, Donovan said she wanted people to remember her friend as a tough girl with a heart of gold. Ottawa police confirmed on July 20 they were investigating a death at the jail. Sargent, 34, was found dead at 12:30 a.m. “I hope people who will write about her, will not just not write that she had a drug problem, because there was more to her than that,” Donovan said, adding she remembers watching horror movies and eating junk food
with her friend. “She didn’t like to be alone,” Donovan said. “She loved company.” The latest stint wasn’t the first time inside a jail cell for Sargent, who had been addicted to crack and opiates for at least 15 years, Donovan estimated. The two women actually served time together in 2009. It was Donovan’s first time in jail and Sargent took care of her. “She protected me in jail and on the streets,” Donovan said. Donovan said she and Sargent were both clients of the Shepherd’s of Good Hope. When asked for a statement about Sargent, Don Ermen, communications manager for the shelter, said he couldn’t confirm she was a client for privacy reasons. While Donovan met her fiancée and got clean four years ago, her friend still struggled. “I was in rehab in 2010 and she was too,” Donovan said. “We would write each other letters.” The country’s prison

Shannon Sargent, 34, was found dead in her cell at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre on July 20. An investigation into the cause is ongoing. population is filled inmates who have addictions issues like Sargent. A 2010 report to the House of Commons on the federal correctional system from the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security stated that 80 per cent of offenders serving two years or more have problems with drugs or alcohol. Donovan, now 29, said she hadn’t talked to her
friend in a few months. “She was relapsing and I am clean and sober,” Donovan said. “I don’t think she wanted to talk to me so she wouldn’t influence me.” But Sargent wanted to get clean for her kids, Donovan said. “She seemed almost happy in jail because you can’t get drugs,” Donovan said. “She was tired of the street and missed her babies.”
Her daughter, Shauna Ava Sargent, 19, posted a message to her mom on Facebook July 21. “One of the hardest things, regardless of how close you were or weren’t, is losing a parent,” the post reads. “I know we went through our (troubles) but I loved her more than she could have ever realized. All I ever wanted was for her to get better and be my mom
but things don’t always work out. I love you mom, now and forever, to the moon and back a million times. But at least you’re at peace now.” Sargent’s death is the third of an inmate at Innes Road facility in four months. A provincial task force aimed at dealing with issues of overcrowding at the jail released 42 recommendations in June. The task force found that inmates are being double and even triple bunked. A coroner’s death investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of Sargent’s death. If the cause of death is determined to be anything other than natural causes, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services will proceed with their own inquiry. Media reports have said that Sargent had underlying health conditions. In the meantime, Donovan said she wants her friend to be remembered for being an amazing woman. “She was smart and kind hearted and she always helped people out,” Donovan said. “She was loved everywhere.”

A small, but dedicated group of advocates made their voices heard outside of the Ontario Works office on Catherine Street on July 29.
Advocates say to government: Hands off our assets Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
A small, but dedicated group of advocates made their voices heard outside of the Ontario Works office on Catherine Street on July 29. The protest, orchestrated by Association of Community Associations for Reform Now, was an attempt to get the province to increase the employment income before the money is clawed back from Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program clients. Blaine Cameron, who is on a disability pension program, says his monthly income is $1,100 a month. His rent is $725. “That’s nearly 70 per cent of my income,” he said, adding that any money he makes after the first $200 to top his monthly allowance will be clawed back by the province. Advocates want the amount raised to $800 before the province starts to reduce the monthly benefit amount. Cameron says the change will be an incentive for OW and ODSP clients to work, and be better for the economy, since they will be able to purchase things. “The province says increasing the employment income before claw back would be a disincentive to work, but that just doesn’t
make sense,” he said, adding if clients were able to find work to supplement their income, they may be able to get full time work and transition off assistance. The group had three demands: • The provincial government should increase the employment income before claw backs for both ODSP and OW recipients, • Increase asset limit thresholds for recipients of both programs, and the government should consider all registered retirement savings plans as exempt assets whether they are locked in or not. “The assistance keeps people at poverty levels and has an impact on health,” Cameron said. Luckily Cameron receives help from family members, he said or he would be in a tough situation. “I wouldn’t be able to eat as healthy as I do now,” he said, adding a lot of ODSP clients have degenerative diseases that aren’t helped by the unhealthy diets they have because of a lack of money to spend on things like fresh produce. There’s another protest planned for Ottawa West MPP Bob Chiarelli’s constituency office on Aug. 29. In the meantime the anti-poverty advocacy is preparing a petition they plan to send to Premier Kathleen Wynne. They hope to get 5,000 signatures.
The RedBlacks will play host to the CFL Grey Cup at Lansdowne in 2017

Ottawa to host Grey Cup in 2017 Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
2017 is shaping up to be quite the year in Ottawa. The Grey Cup, the CFL championship game, has officially been added to the long list of special events coming to the nation’s capital next year. The RedBlacks owners and management announced they had been awarded the 105th Grey Cup at the start of the team’s July 31 home game against the Toronto Argonauts. “I’m proud of the hard work and commitment to customer service exhibited by our staff at TD Place and the performance of the RedBlacks players and coaches,” said Roger
Richmond
Greenberg, executive chair of Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, the company that owns the RedBlacks. “They’ve captured the hearts of fans of all ages and created a gameday experience that’s second to none. We’re ready for the challenge and excited by the opportunity to host Canada’s celebration.” Ticket pricing for the 2017 Grey Cup will be released in the fall. Jeff Hunt, OSEG president, has said they are looking to add about 10,000 temporary seats at TD Place for the game to increase capacity. The event will also feature a five-day Grey Cup Festival at Lansdowne. The 2016 Grey Cup will be held on Nov. 27 at BMO Field in Toronto. Tickets for the 2016 Grey Cup in Toronto range from $169 to $899 for a field-side seat.

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 It may take a little extra effort to solve a particularly puzzling problem this week, Aries. It’s not an insurmountable obstacle, just one that takes patience. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, all of your efforts thus far in relation to personal challenges have been well worth the sacrifices you have made. Keep doing what you are doing. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you cannot control the actions of others all of the time, but you can change the way you react to certain situations. Take time to develop a response. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you will have to adapt when your schedule gets turned upside down. Let others see how capable you are by modifying the situation as needed. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, an unconventional approach to a problem may see things fall into place. While others are following one path, you’ll be marching to the beat of a different drummer. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s time to get your head out of the clouds for a little bit. Focus on the priorities in your life, which may include family and work responsibilities.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Friends may prove a distraction this week, Libra. It will take a lot of energy to focus on what you need to accomplish rather than getting sucked into other plans. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, adjusting to a changing situation at work will require some patience and trial and error. Keep your head down because you will grow comfortable before you know it. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Drama seems to find you this week, Sagittarius. But you can handle whatever comes your way. Remove yourself from gossip and keep a low profile until things seem to dissipate. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, resist the temptation to dive in when you sense a potential conflict brewing. It may be difficult to stay out of the fray, but you will ultimately be glad you did. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you need to be more assertive at work, especially if you want to receive the acclaim you feel you deserve. Be confident in your abilities. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, it may take some time for things to develop, but plans will start to go your way. This could be a week of big change. 0804
