News - While dragon-boat teams are itch-ing to take to the waters of the Rideau River this weekend, organizers of the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival are itching to welcome huge crowds.

The 21st Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival begins tonight, June 19, at Mooney’s Bay Park in south Ottawa.

Billed as North America’s largest dragon-boat festival and the largest free festival and festival fundraiser in the Capital region, the event will draw 5,000 paddlers on about 200 teams. The festival typically attracts between 60,000 and 80,000 people over the course of the four-day event, depending on the weather.

“It’s a great tourism event,” said John Brooman, the festival’s chief executive offi cer and president. “It has a huge economic impact on the city.

“It’s incredibly diverse and it’s a true fes-tival,” he said of the event’s appeal. “It’s sort of become this unique little gem that we try to improve over time.”

Murder suspect may still be in Ottawa: police


News - The prime suspect in the sec-ond-degree murder of an 18-year-old St. Patrick’s High School student may still be in Ottawa, say police.

“We don’t know where in Ottawa,” Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokes-

man, said Tuesday, June 17. “There’s been some sightings, some tips

and we’re going through those tips, but we’re still telling the public if they see him to call us.”

This latest development comes just days after friends and family paid their respects at the funeral of murdered teen Brandon Volpi, who was stabbed to death hours af-

ter his school prom in downtown Ottawa.An Italian fl ag gently fl apped in the

pouring rain in tribute to Volpi’s Italian heritage as hundreds of mourners fi led into St. Anthony’s Church in the Dalhousie neighbourhood on Friday, June 13. Several enormous bouquets of red and cream-co-loured fl owers were taken into the Booth Street church before pallbearers carried in Volpi’s casket.

News - A 47-year-old man has been arrested by Ottawa police in connec-tion to an alleged sexual assault in the Billings Bridge area.

Investigators announced the ar-rest on June 13, about a month after a 35-year-old woman reported that she had been grabbed and inappro-priately touched after disembarking from an OC Transpo bus at the Bill-ings Bridge transit station on May 12 at 3 a.m.

“The victim screamed and the sus-pect fl ed on foot going west through

the parking lot,” investigators said in a statement the day after the alleged crime. “Police were called immedi-ately and the area was checked with negative results.

“The victim does not believe that the man was on the bus with her.”

The suspect has been charged with one count of sexual assault, and was scheduled to appear in court on June 13.

Anyone with information on the assault is asked to call the Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

News - Residents have the oppor-tunity to learn about proposed design recommendations for South Keys to Blossom Park and Bank Street at an upcoming event hosted by the city.

The recommendations that could

change the face of the area’s commu-nity design plan, encompass land use and building types, pedestrian and cyclist pathways and connections, traffi c management, future neigh-bourhood green spaces, the master plan for the South Keys Shopping Centre and the surrounding area, as

well as the plan’s implementation process.

THREE KM

The area being studied stretches a little more than three kilometres along Bank Street, from the Cana-

dian National Railway tracks north of the Greenboro transit station, to Queensdale Avenue.

“Residents will be able to discuss the process and outcomes of the (community design plan) with city staff at the session and infl uence the decisions that will ultimately be made

for the future of the study area,” city staff said in a press release.

The information session will take place June 23 at the Greenboro Com-munity Centre, located at 363 Lorry Greenberg Dr. Residents are invited to drop in from 6 to 9 p.m. There will be a presentation at 7 p.m.

New this year, children’s programming will be offered tonight (June 19) and tomor-row (June 20), in addition to a full line-up of activities and performances for families on Saturday and Sunday. The free family fun will include crafts, a bouncy castle, face painting, magicians, a birds of prey fl ight show, clowns, a puppeteer and an illusionist and Little Ray’s Reptiles will also be on hand.

“The kids’ area has been a really, really popular feature over the years,” said Brooman. “That’s the interesting thing about our festival is the fact that ... there’s something for everybody.

“It’s almost like having a

children’s festival within a music festival within a sport-ing festival within a fundraiser, with a couple of other things spun in there to keep it inter-esting.”

Organizers are also extend-ing the festival by two hours for the fi rst time, by offering entertainment on Sunday, June 22 until 10 p.m., rather than 8 p.m.

There will also be a tiki bar and stage set up on the beach – two components that were introduced last year for the fi rst time and which proved very popular, said Brooman.

“It creates a really nice vibe on the beach,” he said. “We’re pretty excited about that be-cause it just made sense. It’s one of those things where you

put on a pair of pants and they fi t.”

The festival will once again boast a free, licensed, all-ages evening concert series starting tonight (June 19) at 6:30 p.m. and wrapping up at 10 p.m. on Sunday, June 22.

But the big draw will be on the weekend when team after team take to the water in their boats to power stroke their way to the fi nish line.

About 30 per cent of the registered teams come from out of town as far away as Florida, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Vancouver, Brooman said.

It takes about 800 volunteers to make the festival a reality, with many of them ensuring dragon-boat teams are in the

water and ready to go for the next race.

“Every nine minutes, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., you’re turn-ing over roughly 500 people,” Brooman said.

Two years ago he and other festival staff members went out in a dragon boat for the fi rst time, in the lead up to the festival.

“I personally would love to do a race some day,” he said. “’Cause there’s a neat feeling that we didn’t understand and now, all going out that one time, we really get it. When you feel 22 people working together in absolute synergy, and that boat ... takes off, it’s an incredible feeling.”

In addition to the volun-teers, the event – which fi rst started in 1994 with 25 teams – largely functions thanks to the support of government grants and upwards of 60 cor-porate sponsors.

“And without that support, we can’t do it,” he said.

“It’s all about the corporate support, the paddlers, the vol-unteers and the government grants,” Brooman said. “It’s a huge web of people that really make this thing happen and keep it free.”

While paddlers’ registration fees also help keep the festival going,, these team members also have the option of raising funds for different charities, which are selected by the Ot-tawa Dragon Boat Foundation every two or three years.

The recent selection of charities includes Shepherds of Good Hope, which works with the homeless and impov-erished; Helping with Furni-ture, which provides gently used furniture and household items to people in need; Heart-wood House, a home to grass-roots organizations; Children at Risk Ottawa, which pro-vides for children with autism; and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, which helps young

people with a range of ser-vices, such as fi nding jobs and shelter.

The foundation will con-tribute $500,000 to the bureau over the next four years, and the other charities will each re-ceive $25,000 annually for the next two years.

“It’s huge,” Brooman said of the impact the charitable foundation has made through the efforts of dragon-boat pad-dlers. “We’ve raised over $3 million for charities in the last number of years, since 1998.”

The fundraising option is

yet another attractive feature of the four-day festival, he said.

“Some are there for the pad-dling, some are there for the fundraising, some are there for the music, some are there for the kids’ area,” Brooman ex-plained. “Because it’s free for the public, there’s really a lot of different reasons for people to come down.”

The festival takes place at Mooney’s Bay Park, located at 2960 Riverside Dr. For a complete schedule of events, including entertainment and racing, visit dragonboat.net.

Volunteers keep Mooney’s Bay festival ticking


Dragon boats are craned into the Rideau River from Mooney’s Bay Park on June 2 ahead of the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, which take over Mooney’s Bay Park from June 19 to 22.


News - No stranger to chal-lenge, Orléans resident Matt Weeks didn’t hesitate at the chance to form a dragon-boat team – even though he had nev-er before stepped in a dragon boat, never mind paddled one in a race.

His inspiration is close at hand.

His seven-year-old daughter Hannah was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder in which the area of the brain that controls hunger continually sends signals that the body is starving.

The syndrome is accompa-nied by cognitive challenges as well as low muscle tone.

“They’ll eat basically to excess,” said Weeks. “Their brain is always telling them that they’re starving and that they need to eat and they’ll do what-ever they can to eat.”

It’s a rare disorder, and for that reason more research is needed to improve treatment options.

That takes money – reason why Weeks will be paddling in the Tim Hortons Ottawa Drag-on Boat Festival, which takes

place June 19 to 22.“She’s a lovely, lovely child,”

Weeks said of his daughter. “She’s got an attitude that makes everybody smile.”

He and his teammates, who are Weeks’s colleagues at Transport Canada, will paddle to raise awareness and funds for Prader-Willi research. To enlist their support, he had to share a very personal side of his life.

“That in and of itself was a big step for me to tell a whole bunch of co-workers,” he said, adding that he still sometimes gets choked up when speaking about his daughter’s condition. “But you take that energy and use it for something positive.”

Funds raised through their team effort will go to the Foun-dation for Prader-Willi Re-search, the Canadian arm of an American foundation, which Weeks said is a leader in fund-ing for Prader-Willi research.

A week before the race, they had almost reached their goal to generate $3,000.

“Part of how we cope is try-ing to better the community or help the community through re-search,” Weeks said of himself and his wife.

Most children with the syn-drome are diagnosed soon after

birth, due to telltale signs of extremely low muscle tone and the inability to feed properly.

Hannah also shared these symptoms but they were less severe than is typical of people born with the genetic disorder. For this reason, she wasn’t di-agnosed until age fi ve after she underwent genetic testing.

That’s when Weeks jumped online to educate himself about the condition.

Today, they help Hannah manage her hunger, and keep her on a reduced caloric intake since her slower metabolism can’t burn off the calories as fast.

Routine is also important so that Hannah knows when her next meal or snack is coming, he said.

“She doesn’t have to worry about there not being food so her brain doesn’t tell her to go off and get it,” Weeks said.

The Weeks family has also learned how to manage Han-nah’s emotional meltdowns. The same area of the brain that controls hunger also regulates emotional control and body temperature, Weeks said.

“Even if there’s like the smell of popcorn in the room, it may result in a meltdown,” he said.

“If she wanted to lay her toys out in a certain way and some-one moved one it would be a full-on meltdown sometimes.

“That’s not typical, so it’s diffi cult for families to deal with on a daily basis.”

While Weeks and his family have made signifi cant inroads to help Hannah live life to the fullest, further research on Prader-Willi is needed to fur-ther improve the lives of people with this genetic condition.

That’s why Weeks and his team will row their hearts out this weekend.

He and his dragon-boat teammates will be wearing purple T-shirts emblazoned with the Hannah’s Horde team name. Hannah also has a shirt.

In the lead up to race day, Weeks said he’s already look-ing ahead to entering a dragon-boat team in the festival next year.

“I keep telling everybody that next year we’ll be even bet-ter ... and nobody says they’re not coming,” he said with a laugh. “So that’s a good sign.”

City of Ottawa110 Laurier Avenue West


The graduating student was stabbed to death in the early morning hours of June 7 outside Les Suites Hotel on Besserer Street in down-town Ottawa, following the Catholic school’s prom, held earlier in the evening at the National Arts Centre.

Police have received sev-eral tips on the whereabouts of the Devontay Hackett, who police plan to charge with second-degree murder. They announced on June 10 that a Canada-wide warrant had been issued for his ar-rest after they were unable to track the high-school student following the killing.

Police are focusing their manhunt for the suspect in Ottawa.

A WIDER NET

Still, by issuing the Can-ada-wide warrant, it allows them to reach out to other municipal and provincial po-lice and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and cast a wider net if he has fl ed Ot-tawa for another city.

“There’s always informa-tion that there’s possibili-ties that he might be going to another city so this assists the investigators in helping to track him as well as mak-ing an arrest more effi ciently and quicker,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman.

Given the number of large cities located a relatively short distance from Ottawa, such as Montreal and To-ronto, suspects can easily change cities very quickly, he explained.

In the wake of Volpi’s murder, there was a swift outpouring of emotion on social-media channels, such as Facebook. When Hackett was named by police as the prime suspect in the case, grief quickly turned to out-rage for some people.

“I’m sure, from the suspect’s side of view, the knowledge that he is wanted – because it is on social me-dia and I’m sure he has seen it; that’s why he’s not com-ing out – is one of the factors that must be on his mind or shoulders at all times,” Ben-oit said.

Police say Hackett may be armed and dangerous.

“We have no knowledge

that he still has or doesn’t have any weapons on his person, so we ask the public,

if he is seen not to deal with him, to call 911 directly,” the spokesman said.

Police have been in con-tact with Hackett’s parents.

“I know the investigators have been in touch with the parents and they’ve been given the information, the reasons why they are looking for their son,” said Benoit. “They want justice for what happened. Having said that, I think they are co-operating.”

Hackett is considered the main suspect in the case, but police are still trying to iden-tify who he was with at the time of the fatal stabbing, said Benoit.

Two large groups of young people were outside Les Suites Hotel when the crime occurred, he said, adding that students from at least two secondary schools, St. Patrick’s and St. Pius X, had reservations to stay at the downtown hotel that night.

One-hundred-and-fif ty St. Patrick’s High School students had been celebrat-ing their prom earlier in the evening.

Investigators are still ex-amining video surveillance,

and continue to appeal to witnesses of the crime or anyone with information on the case to come forward.

Police received an emer-gency call to come to the hotel at 3:35 a.m. on June 7. Classmates of Volpi’s say the graduating teen had been asked to walk a friend back to the hotel, after the friend had gotten into an altercation earlier that night.

Major crime investigators believe alcohol may have been a factor in the alterca-tion that led to Volpi’s death. A second person was also injured that night, but was treated at hospital and re-leased.

Volpi’s death is Ottawa’s third homicide of 2014.

Anyone with information on Hackett’s whereabouts or the homicide investigation is urged to call the Ottawa po-lice major crime section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Hackett is described by police as having light brown skin, short brown hair and brown eyes. He is six-feet tall and weighs 135 pounds.

Congratulations Premier Wynne.Against all the odds, the Liberals, a

party long in the tooth after 11 years in of-fi ce and weighed down by a long string of

scandals and controversies, has once again returned to power at Queen’s Park.

From the outset of the election, the province seemed ripe for change. Ontarians were fi guratively screaming for it, according to poll after poll. It just wasn’t the type of change anyone expected.

Progressive Conservatives across the province were in collective shock as they watched the election results come in on June 12 – they expected voters to punish a party, just not their own.

Few expected a Liberal majority. In the aftermath, the voters, including the pundits and journalists furiously pounding out copy to meet deadline, are left scratching their heads trying to fi gure out what it all means. Well, Premier, we can start with what it doesn’t mean. The results were not a ringing endorsement for your policies, or a thumbs up for the economic direction Ontario has been heading under 11 years of Liberal rule.

Many voters question Liberal policies, such as the Green Energy Act, the decision to pay corporations to set up shop in Ontario, a bumbling strategy to

encourage industrial growth – need we go on?Voters headed into the June election with a bad

taste in their mouth after digesting the Liberals’ latest budget proposal, which promised to add $5.7 billion in new spending while bizarrely indicating the inten-tion to erase the defi cit within three years.

Keep in mind, the provincial debt has doubled under the Liberal’s watch and the province currently operates with a massive and growing defi cit.

But still we are left with the question of your par-ty’s improbable victory. We can only conclude that this was an election about what voters didn’t want. It was a complete and utter repudiation of Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak and was also the last election he will fi ght at the helm of the party.

This was an election dominated by fear instead of ideas. The only party punished by the electorate was the Progressive Conservatives, strangely enough they were also the only party to admit the fact that Ontario is in bad shape economically and that cost cutting measures are needed, as well as policies to encourage manufacturing and business growth.

Unfortunately, they weren’t very good at commu-nicating the message to the electorate.

Hopefully, the next election will focus on issues and policies rather than strategic voting and fear.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

Despite its growing popularity as a participation sport, soccer has not yet caught on as a spectator sport with North Americans.

It’s hard to know why that is, since soccer is No. 1 just about everywhere else in the world and the World Cup, which is underway in Brazil, rivals or perhaps even exceeds the Olympics in world interest.

It may just be that we have so many other sports to interest us. We have baseball, football (the North American variety), hockey and basketball and even televised golf, which some people like to use as a sleep aid on weekend afternoons. There is racing, cars and horses. People will actually watch poker on television and there has been growth in the number of people watching wrestling and mixed martial arts.

Soccer has some competition. Yet there is potential. In every neighbourhood in Ottawa, parents turn out in droves on weekday nights to watch their kids play soccer at levels ranging from four years old on up, from beginner to ex-tremely skilled. On a sunny evening, it is pleas-ant occasion. Plus, there are usually snacks.

You would assume that some of those kids and some of those parents would become fans of soccer, attending the games and watching

them on television, as a result of this exposure to the game. But it is slow coming.

According to an article I read recently, there are actually more Canadian children involved in soccer than in hockey now. Yet this remains fi rmly a hockey culture.

Watching beginners playing soccer, as opposed to baseball, you notice that they do so with more focus and enthusiasm. This is because soccer, at that level, is much easier to understand. You kick it that way; you stop the other kids from kicking it this way. Baseball has infi nite complications. If the ball is hit to you at third, step on the bag – unless there is no runner on fi rst. If you’re the runner, don’t run on a fl y ball – unless there are two out.

(Without going into the infi eld fl y rule, the game’s complications can be funny. If you have

never heard it, look up Bob Newhart’s comedy routine on baseball. Mr. Google will show you the way.)

Of course, the subtleties of the game – the defensive shifts and pitching strategies – are what make baseball addictive for its fans and impenetrable to its detractors. People will tell you that nothing happens in baseball, a sugges-tion that amazes and distresses partisans of the game.

Similarly, a baseball fan might tell you that nothing happens in soccer. There’s no scoring, not even that many scoring chances. But watch a game with someone who really understands it and you’ll realize that soccer has subtleties too, skills and strategies that are not obvious to the casual viewer. Afi cionados appreciate them – and of course there are millions of those around the world.

Every sport has its subtleties, things that better-informed fans love about their game, and it is probably time to dispense with the notion that one game is superior to another. There is enough snobbery in the world without it spreading to sports.

The World Cup is a great showcase for the game (as well as the colourful, sometimes bizarre and occasionally violent behaviour of fans from around the world) and it should

cause an upsurge of interest in the game. In Ottawa, we now have a professional team, Ottawa Fury FC, and it should benefi t from the upsurge, and perhaps cause a further upsurge itself.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays are causing all kinds of excitement in major league baseball and the Toronto Raptors gave basketball fans lots of thrills in the season just concluded. With any luck, all of these teams will stimulate some interest among kids and get them out playing.

Whichever sport you like best, you have to admit this beats video games.

I just fi nished reading the most fantastic self-help book ever. Written by car-toonist, Scott Adams, How

to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life, is a reminder that even those of us with a pen-chant for cheese and coffee can stay slim, make decent money and have happy lives.

And he suggests tossing the idea of goal-setting out the win-dow. Tough to believe, huh?

But Adams, the wealthy creator of the famous Dilbert comic strip, lays out a clear and simple formula for getting what you want out of life. In a twist, it starts with being selfi sh. How can that be?

Adams says the most impor-tant thing you can do for your-self and the world around you is to carve out time to exercise and eat well every day, before your work, ahead of your marriage, at the expense of your family. It’s from a healthy body that we get healthy minds, and cre-ate the energy to make positive contributions to the world.

It may not sound that pro-found. But when you see how only a humorist like Adams can lay things out, you may change your mind.

Running, for example, is not his thing. “Long-distance run-ners are people who are born with a certain genetic gift that allows them to feel good when writing,” he writes. “...Most nor-mal adults, including me, fi nd running to be a little more than the most cost-effective way to be bored and uncomfortable.”

The book is littered with gems like that.

Exercise, Adams argues, must be something you want to do every day to stay active: gar-dening, playing basketball with the kids or walking to carry out errands. If it takes willpower to do it, he notes, you will only ever fi nd exercise frustrating and you’ll fi nd any excuse not to do it.

Of course we all know people who exercise and maybe don’t seem that much more satisfi ed with life than we are. So how does Adams make the connec-tion between exercise, diet and that type of success and hap-piness that he’s garnered as a world-famous cartoonist?

With the energy of exercise and good diet behind us, Ad-ams suggests we are generally more optimistic, something we can improve with positive dai-

ly affi rmations, meditation or prayer. By focusing on more of the things we want, Adams be-lieves we can actually alter the universe.

He has a few crackpot ideas about why this may be, but my takeaway is that, ultimately, if we’re focusing on what we want in a positive way, we’re

more likely to perceive even po-tential failures as opportunities. And that is really the crux of his argument.

Of course, all this only works if we get stop setting goals.

“Goals are for losers,” says Adams explicitly. Instead, he advocates creating systems. Taking the example of exercise, if we have a goal to lose 20 pounds or reach a certain BMI, we may give it up once we reach our target. If we have a system

that simply says, be active every day, we’re more likely to fi nd something active we like to do and stick with it.

Similarly in our careers, a singular goal, like becoming the CEO of a specifi c company, may cause us to miss opportuni-ties along the way or suffer un-intentionally from failure when we work all our lives toward that one thing and then don’t succeed.

Adams advocates creating systems that allow us to achieve every day. Adams uses the ex-ample of a CEO he met early on in his own career who said he had “a system” of always keep-ing an eye out for a better job, so he could take opportunities as they were presented to him. Adams also mentions Warren Buffet, who has a system of buying undervalued companies, holding onto them and then sell-ing at an optimum time.

All this may sound a little like hogwash, or even cliché. But the 2013 book was the most enlightening thing I’d read in a while. There are a number of good takeaways beyond what I’ve written here: develop a di-verse skill set; being mediocre at lots of things is often better than mastery of one; sometimes success comes down to pure luck – being in the right place at the right time.

At the end of the day, how-ever, everything Adams writes in the funny way that only he can, is a reminder that we do have some control over our lots in life, and most of it comes to carefully preserving our minds and bodies to appreciate the journey.

John Fraser takes Ottawa South riding

Erin McCracken and Blair [email protected]

News - Red is still the pre-ferred colour for voters in the Ottawa South provincial rid-ing.

John Fraser retains the seat he fi rst won in a byelection last August, keeping Progres-sive Conservative candidate Matt Young at bay for a sec-ond time.

“How many people can say they have the honour of winning two elections in 10 months?” Fraser said at his team’s victory headquarters at Hometown Sports and Grill on Bank Street in Alta Vista, about two hours after the polls of the 41st provincial general election closed at 9 p.m.

Though the race appeared tight between Fraser and his opponent, Progressive Con-servative Matt Young, early on after the polls closed, that quickly changed.

Fraser soon sailed by with a stunning victory, winning by more than 7,800 votes.

“Four more years,” his sup-porters chanted at the start of Fraser’s victory speech.

“I’d like to thank the voters of Ottawa South for their trust. This has been an incredible campaign and the voters of Ot-tawa South have chosen prog-ress,” he said. “They’ve cho-sen progress for their schools. They have chosen progress in their hospitals. They have cho-sen progress for the economy and jobs for young people.”He promised to work hard for people in his riding, whether they voted for him or not.

Fraser also vowed to work as hard as he can, “... and I will be there for them when they need me,” he said, his wife Linda standing nearby. Their three children were also

in the audience, as was Fras-er’s sisters and mother.

Unlike the close race in the byelection for the riding last August, which was held after former premier and Ottawa South MPP Dalton McGuinty stepped down, Fraser led for much of Thursday night.

He won 50 per cent of the vote, with more than 21,000 votes. In second place, Young trailed with more than 13,000 votes, or almost 32 per cent of the vote.

It was a far different cry from last summer’s byelec-tion, which Fraser won by just 1,279 votes.

Over the past month, Fraser campaigned on several issues,

including job creation, bal-ancing the budget by 2017-18 and careful spending. In the lead up to election night, he said that health care, educa-tion and public transit must be properly funded.

Fraser, 54, a married fa-ther of three grown children, worked for McGuinty as a constituency assistant for 14 years, before launching his own campaign for offi ce in 2013.

Prior to entering the public service, the Alta Vista resi-dent, who grew up in south Ottawa, managed small and medium-sized businesses.

Fraser credited Liberal Par-ty leader Kathleen Wynne for

being caring, principled and hard working.

“And I’m proud to be able to continue to serve under her in a majority government,” Fraser said.

The results were a disap-pointment to Young, who was surrounded by supporters at the Southway Inn, also on Bank Street - less than four kilometres away from where Fraser was celebrating.

“We failed you as a party this time,” said Young, a 35-year-old married father to two young girls. “We failed On-tario.”

He said the Conservatives need to look at how they de-liver their message to the peo-

ple, judging on the results of the election.

“I think there’s a need for change for everything in this party,” said Young, when asked if the PCs needed to se-lect a new leader.

“Our platform seems to have been resoundly rejected by the people.”

Young blamed the elec-tion results on misinformation circulated by public service unions and fear tactics used provincewide.

“We failed to combat the unions effectively when they spread their lies,” he said, adding that the Liberal party made effective use of the neg-ative-advertising campaign.

“Liberals across the prov-ince should be ashamed of what they’ve done,” he said. “This is the result of a prov-incewide effort.”

The Hunt Club resident, who will to return to work at General Dynamics in Bells Corners, campaigned on a platform of lowering the tax burden, replacing bureaucrats with front-line care providers, creating one million jobs and balancing the budget.

He also promoted the PCs’ plan to create an environment in which Ontario companies can thrive by lowering their tax burden.

John Fraser celebrates being voted in for a second time as the member of provincial parliament for the Ottawa South riding on election night with supporters at Hometown Sports and Grill on June 12. The Alta Vista resident said the results of the 41st provincial general election indicate voters have chosen for progress for their schools, hospitals, the economy and jobs for young people.

Young said he will not seek re-election.

“It’s time I passed that torch now,” he said.

Green party candidate Matt Lakatos-Hayword came in fourth in the Ottawa South riding.

“I’ve broken a personal goal of getting over 2,000 votes which for me meant a lot es-pecially for a fi rst-time candi-date,” he said. “It meant that a lot of people believed in me.”

He was both surprised and unhappy that Ontarians voted in a majority government, be-cause a majority can result in the governing party pushing through its agenda without consulting other parties.

Despite this, he said he hopes Fraser will work with other parties to develop solu-tions, and be committed to resolving soaring hydro costs

and oppose pipeline projects which pose enormous safety and environmental concerns.

Lakatos-Hayward said he would represent the Green party again at the provincial level in 2018.

And with a federal election poised for next year, the fi rst-time political candidate is con-sidering becoming involved with the Greens at the federal level, perhaps even putting forward his name as a federal candidate.

While the Green party didn’t win any seats during the provincial election, he’s pleased that the party made serious inroads as an alterna-tive choice for some voters, including in Ottawa South.

“I knew I probably didn’t have the best shot of winning, but the fact that I managed to sort of increase the Green presence in Ottawa South is really something,” he said.

Bronwyn Funiciello, the New Democratic candidate, came in third place in the Ot-tawa South riding with nearly 6,000 votes. She did not return calls before deadline.

News - Mayor Jim Watson wasn’t expecting a majority government to be elected in the June 12 provincial election, but he said the Liberal win bodes well for the city’s major proj-ects.

“I think it’s a strong vote of en-couragement and support for the City of Ottawa’s major priorities: cleaning up the Ottawa River and continuing on with our light-rail plans,” Watson said.

The mayor, a former Liberal pro-vincial cabinet minister, said he is confi dent the government will make good on their promises to fund those

projects.“They understand cities and I’m

obviously relieved to have a willing partner to continue cleaning up the Ottawa River and expanding light rail to the east, to the west and to the south.”

The mayor wasn’t on board with every local Liberal proposal. He re-jected an idea from re-elected Ot-tawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi to include citizen members on the city committee that makes land-use plan-ning decisions.

“To me, that’s not a workable solu-tion,” Watson said. “At the end of the day, council has to be accountable and responsible for land-use plan-ning decisions. It becomes a pretty

slippery slope as to who you put on these boards ... You could always be accused that you’re putting pro-development or anti-development people (on the committee).”

Watson said the current planning process works “relatively well,” al-though there are community frus-trations from time to time. At least voters can hold municipal politicians to account for their decisions by re-fusing to re-elect them, Watson said, which wouldn’t be the case with citi-zen members.

The city did add citizen members to several bodies such as the tran-sit commission and health board in this term of council, but Watson said those roles have less opportunity for bias.

The Liberals haven’t been keen on another local priority: uploading the cost of maintaining highway 174 to the province. Watson said he’s like to shift that cost off the backs of Ottawa taxpayers, but it’s a lower priority than continuing the upload of social security and court costs to the prov-

ince.“My position is until that upload

agreement ends in 2018 and the upload is fi nished, then we should start negotiating with the province for other uploads and highway 174 would be one of those locally.

The mayor said the Progressive

Conservatives and leader Tim Hu-dak made a misstep by expressing reluctance to fund the city’s light-rail plans, at least right away, Watson said.

“I think Mr. Hudak misjudged the mood, not only in Ottawa but around the province, when it came to the 100,000 job cuts,” Watson said.

Ottawa has seen signifi cant job cuts from the federal public service.

“That resonated, certainly,” he said.

The rural-urban political divide that was more pronounced in other regions during this election was di-minished in Ottawa, Watson said. While PCs Jack MacLaren and Lisa MacLeod kept their ridings of Car-leton-Mississippi Mills and Nepean-Carleton, Northumberland-Quinte West turfed a PC MPP in favour of Liberal Lou Rinaldi.

“I don’t think it’s as big a divide as perhaps it was in the last elec-tion (when) the Liberals were pretty much shut out of rural Ontario,” Wat-son said.

News – For a riding that has proven a raucous, unapolo-getic defender of Progressive Conservative principles in the past, the mood was rather sub-dued at Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod’s campaign wrap-up party in Manotick last week.

Chants of “Lisa, Lisa” pe-tered out almost as quickly as

they began when the four-time winner arrived at the Black Dog Bistro restaurant on the village’s main drag on June 12.

She smiled for the cameras, shook hands and accepted hugs, but her usual zippy per-sonality was understated.

“This wasn’t the result we wanted province-wide,” she said to about 100 supporters who had gathered to ring in her fourth term before the age of 40. “We’re going to have to continue to fi ght this Liberal government ... and I’m the girl from Nepean-Carleton that’s going to continue to do what I’ve done since 2006.”

MacLeod’s win was no shocker, unlike the province-wide results, which swept the Liberal government to an even

stronger mandate after both opposition parties said they wouldn’t support the budget in May.

The riding is truly blue – it has been since 1995 – so it’s no surprise that MacLeod fi n-ished more than 8,700 votes ahead of her Liberal oppo-nent, Jack Uppal. After all, she’s done it before.

MacLeod was fi rst elected to the provincial legislature in a 2006 by-election to replace John Baird, with a lead of 6,000 votes.

Her margin increased in the 2007 election and again in 2011, when she surpassed a 15,000 vote margin over the second-place Liberals.

The riding’s strong voice at the polls is nothing compared to MacLeod’s.

Along with being named the PC critic for youth, edu-cation and energy portfolios over the past eight years, Ma-cLeod has also stood up for is-sues dear to her constituents in Nepean-Carleton.

In 2013, the province-wide Slots at Racetracks controver-sy was a major talking point for MacLeod, who argued the Liberal plan to end the program would kill Ottawa’s Rideau Carleton Raceway and destroy local jobs. The issue was partially resolved when Ottawa’s city council decided that any new casino will have to be built at the racetrack lo-cation, rather than elsewhere in the city.

MacLeod has also been vocal about a proposed wind farm project in North Gower, which residents have rejected due to health concerns.

As supporters at the Black Dog watched early results paint the province red, shock and dismay settled in among the crowd.

Nepean resident Corrine Stewart revealed she’ll soon be leaving the province, now that Wynne has a majority mandate.

“My husband and I agreed, if the Liberals get back in we’re going to move to Al-berta,” Stewart said. “We’re

both retired and there’s noth-ing holding us here.”

She said she’s voted Liberal in the past, but she couldn’t abide the spending habits of the current government.

“I don’t want Ontario to

go the way of Greece. We are headed for bankruptcy,” she said.

MacLeod’s “sign guy,” Mike St. Louis, was also dis-appointed with the results, although he said he’ll stick

around to continue fi ghting the good fi ght.

“I didn’t think the Liberals would do that well,” he said. “Kathleen (Wynne) was asked a lot of questions she couldn’t answer.”

Liberal candidate Jack Up-pal received 22,000 votes, NDP candidate Ric Dagenais took 8,700 and Green candi-date Gordon Kubanek secured 3,600. The riding’s Libertar-ian candidate managed 955.

Classic rideNorth Gower residents Réal and Simone Proulx, who have been married since 1950, and their 1930 Model A Ford deluxe roadster were a main attraction at Billings Estate Museum during a special Father’s Day event on June 15. The sunshine-fi lled day featured children’s activities, lunch and an antique car show that attracted more than a dozen antique- and classic-car owners. Réal, who is a 94 years old, said he and his younger brother bought their fi rst car, a Model T, for $32 from a scrap yard owner in 1939 when they were teenagers.

Community - Gary Fackelmann swipes at the tears trickling down his cheeks.

“I do this every year. I’m used to crying,” he says, smiling through the wave of emotion that overcomes him at the sight of more than 600 Robert Bateman Public School students, all clad in special white T-shirts, who have just returned from a two-kilometre walk on June 16.

The annual walk is a memorial to a sev-en-year-old boy, Patrick Kennedy, who was in Grade 2 at the Hunt Club neighbourhood school when he lost his fi ght against a brain tumour in 1998.

“It’s emotional. It’s a sense of fulfi llment. It’s just joy,” says Fackelmann, a Grade 5/6 teacher, who refuses to take credit for helping organize the event, but who school staff mem-bers say has been instrumental in planning it.

The walk began the year after Patrick died, with just two classes of Grade 4 students mak-ing their way along the same path that Patrick walked to and from school. The idea was suggested by a student as part of a classroom project.

Fifteen years later, it has grown to include the entire school, and the greater community. Through student pledges, it has also generated more than $150,000 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

This year, the “K” in the 2K walk is in hon-our of Patrick and also for Andrew Kirkwood, a parent of a student at the school who is also battling cancer and has worked diligently to raise funds for the initiative.

CROSSING THE FINISH LINEJUNE is the last month of school. My high school daughter has finished her summatives and is studying hard for exams. Our younger students are completing their projects and reviewing what they have learned this year. It can be a stressful time for students, and I know that parents throughout River Zone join me in saying thank you to the teachers and all other education and administrative staff who inspire and support our children. Good luck, students. We are proud of you!

JUNE is also the last month for the Board of Trustees to complete its work before resuming again in September. We are very close to the finish line in finalizing the OCDSB Budget for 2014-2015. As you know, I undertook budget consultations with parents in all of my River Zone school councils, and wrote a Budget Report 2014 that is on my website at www.shirleyseward.com

The single most important issue that I heard was the need for more educational assistants (EAs) for students with special needs and behavioural challenges. At the June 9 Budget meeting, I was successful in securing $420,000 for an additional 8 new full time EAs. Five will be itinerant emergency EAs, and 3 will be placed in schools. I was also successful in adding an additional $100,000 for playgrounds and outdoor learning spaces that are important for our children’s fitness and well-being. A final vote on the 2014 OCDSB Budget will take place at the June 23 Board meeting at 7:30.

This month, we will be putting the final touches on some key policy issues such as childcare for preschoolers and toddlers. I believe very strongly that we must partner with the excellent childcare providers across the District. Many of these providers have been delivering childcare to our children for as long as forty years. The Board needs the childcare community, and we must work in a mutually beneficial partnership.

As the school year draws to a close, I look forward to the Graduation and Leaving Ceremonies at our River Zone schools. I am very proud of the work we do together. Our children are our most precious gifts. It is a pleasure to represent you and to contribute to the achievement and well-being of our students.

If you have any questions or need my help, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or at 613-851-4716.


Organizers hope another $10,000 has been raised this year for cancer research, but pledged donations from Monday’s event have not yet been tallied.

“Look at these kids,” Fackelmann says, watching the younger students laugh and play together following the walk.

“They have no idea what cancer’s about. They know they’re having a fun day and when they get to Grade 6, they realize, ‘Oh, I get what the cancer thing’s about now.’ So it’s a learning process for them.”

Scott Kennedy was 12 years old when his youngest brother died.

“It’s obviously tough memories, but I mean when you see all the good that comes from the community to support our fam-ily and the cancer foundation and everyone that’s been affected by cancer, it’s pretty incredible,” he says, watching hundreds of children, from kindergarten to Grade 6, attach memorial ribbons to a blue spruce that was planted in his brother’s memory just outside his parent’s back yard, along the public trail.

“It helps you focus on the good, for sure,” he says.

His mother, Joan Kennedy, said she and her family, including her second eldest son Thomas and her husband Bob are also touched by the support shown to them by the school and community, year after year.

“It’s really incredible what this type of event has evolved into,” says Joan, wear-ing a button on her shirt with the photo of Patrick as a young, smiling red-headed boy in a hockey uniform.

“This went from two little classrooms (of children) walking down to remember Patrick to the whole school participating every year.”

The anniversary walk allows the stu-dents to see community service in action, says Fackelmann, who taught Patrick’s two older brothers. “And it’s a great opportu-nity for the kids to give back.”

He is impressed by the annual outpour-ing of support the fundraising walk re-ceives.

John Leroux of World Karate Fit led the children through a pre-walk warm-up, while Steve Tanner of Tanner Insurance,

and the father of a student at the school, donated special 15th-anniversary T-shirts for everyone.

These were designed by the school’s namesake and Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman.

Telus and the Sangster family provided the hotdog lunch after the walk.

“The people just step up. It just hap-pens,” says Fackelmann. “Everybody who donates into it, their kids go to this school. It’s a little spider web – everyone’s been touched by it. It truly falls into place.”

Staff from the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, which will channel the funds raised toward research efforts, were also struck by magnitude of the event. New this year, students sold paper shoe cut-outs, and there was a silent auction of prints donated by Bateman.

“It’s just amazing that it’s still going strong after 15 years,” says Erin Nazarali, foundation communications co-ordinator.

“This is sort of the next generation of fundraisers, so to see kids getting involved in the community and raising money so early on, it’s really key for an organization that really depends on that support from the community,” she explains.

In the days after the walk, piggy banks full of change will be counted by founda-tion staff.

“It seems like little amounts, but it adds up really quickly,” she says.

This year, the community Canada Day event will take place at Claudette Cain Park, 660 River Road, from 10am-2pm. There will be a variety of activities for children of all ages. There will also be a BBQ for residents to enjoy.

I would like to thank the Riverside South Community Association and their volunteers and sponsors for once again organizing this community event.

Park Consultations in Ward 22I would like to thank residents who recently attended the public consultations to review the plans for two new parks in Ward 22. Findlay Creek residents had the opportunity to view the design for a new park at 505 Creekview Way. Once completed, the new park will provide the neighbourhood with additional playground space, swings, shade structure, and landscaped seating areas.

Riverside South residents had the chance to review the plans for a new park on the east side of Limebank Road north of Earl Armstrong Road. Once completed, the new park will provide the neighbourhood with a splash pad, permanent boarded rink and multi-surface play court, Jr. and Sr. playground equipment, swings, shade structure, site furnishings, landscaping and pathways. To view the plans for the parks, please visit www.stevedesroches.ca.

Canadian Comedy Awards LaunchI was pleased to welcome the nominees for the 2014 Canadian Comedy Awards this past week. This year, the event will be taking place in September at a variety of comedy clubs around the city. The annual comedy festival is a testament to the tremendous comedic talent that we have across Canada. I would encourage residents who enjoy a good laugh to take in some of the acts later this year.

International Shriners Awareness DayOn behalf of Mayor Jim Watson, I had the honour of proclaiming International Shriners Awareness Day in the City of Ottawa. The Shriners currently operate 21 non-profit children’s hospitals across North America including the Shriners Hospital for Children Canada located in Montreal. I was pleased to recognize their commitment to community and in particular, the health and well being of children.

Ward 22 Resident Recognized at 9-1-1 Children’s Achievement AwardsI would like to congratulate Mursal from Ward 22 after receiving an award at the City of Ottawa’s 16th annual 9-1-1 Children’s Achievement Awards. The 9-1-1 Children’s Achievement Awards annually recognizes children who effectively use the 9-1-1 service. Mursal’s courage and quick-thinking to call 9-1-1 helped save a life in the face of an emergency.

End of the School YearAs we wrap up the end of the school year, I wish all families a safe and enjoyable summer. I would also like to remind drivers to please be cautious on the road with the added volume of children out in the community. Have a great summer!

The goal of this year’s annual fundraiser was to generate $75,000 – the amount raised last year. The proceeds generated from beach volleyball and ultimate Frisbee team registration fees, donation boxes, ticket and beer sales as well as pledges through team sports and the family walk will go to CHEO. The event drew 1,500 people and was made possible thanks to 40 sponsors and 200 volunteers. More than $500,000 has been raised since the barbecue was fi rst held 22 years ago.

News - Developers shouldn’t get discounts on development charges if they build close to a transit line, city council decided on June 10.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli instigated to move to reverse the planned 50 per cent dis-count on the part of the development charge dedicated to roads for developments near the light-rail line, O-Train and Transitway.

Development charges are fees the city charges to cover the cost of installing infra-structure such as sewer pipes and roads needed to service the new homes or buildings. The province requires municipalities to update their bylaws every fi ve years and increasing the charge is intended to cover a greater pro-portion of the costs associated with building new infrastructure.

“When a property owner suddenly has a tran-sit station located near their property, they have a huge windfall,” Chiarelli said, adding that the value increase is enough of a development in-centive.

Other councillors, including transit com-mission chairwoman Diane Deans, jumped on board with Chiarelli’s idea.

“The incentive we’re providing is the $2.1 billion LRT line,” she said. “That has got to be better than any 6/49 lottery going.”

The last-minute change to the updated de-velopment charge bylaw caught some develop-ers – who are already miffed by the changes – off guard, said John Herbert, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association.

“(Some of our members) were very, very sur-prised and some of them were hurt very badly,” Herbert said.

NEW HOUSE COSTS TO RISE

Council did agree to adopt the new develop-ment charge bylaw, with a bevy of alterations relating to the cost of anticipated infrastructure projects around the city.

The increased fees would represent between

three and seven per cent of the cost of a new house, up from 2.5 and six per cent, depending on the type of home and whether it’s located in an urban, suburban or rural area.

That will tack about $8,000 onto the price of a new, single-family home in the suburbs, Herbert said.

“It’s going to take a big hit on housing af-fordability in Ottawa,” Herbert said.

He said his group will appeal the bylaw to the Ontario Municipal Board.

The Greater Ottawa Home Builders Associa-tion warned the increased charge will not only boost the cost of new homes – it will have a ripple effect on the local economy.

He suggested that “social, fi nancial and eco-nomic” fallout would be the result of the in-creased charge, including potential job losses in the construction sector as the industry slows down to meet less demand.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson was the lone vote against the new development charges bylaw. He echoed Herbert’s concerns that the increase could have a cooling effect on the real estate market if buyers reject more expensive homes.

“It’s a bit of a property tax grab. Instead of increasing taxes you’re putting the taxes on someone who builds a new home,” Thompson said. “It’s just not right.”

Weeks earlier, at a briefi ng to explain the new bylaw, planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume argued the exact opposite, saying builders and homebuyers should pay the costs of the infrastructure growth associated with their homes – not the rest of the taxpayers in Ottawa.

“Quite frankly, I don’t think it’s fair to exist-ing taxpayers,” Hume said.

Hume said one major change to develop-ment-charge projects is the way the city makes up for giving out exemptions to developers. Now, instead of scrambling to fi nd the money in the city’s coffers when the infrastructure project must get built, the city will have to approve taxpayer money to make up the dif-ference when it offers a development charge exemption.

Council axes development discounts near transit

News - Costly new specifi cations for splash pads have stalled the construction of at least one city park and have city councillors demanding answers.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Cum-berland Coun. Stephen Blais re-iterated their frustration over the lack of information they’ve received about technical drainage requirements they say will quadruple the cost of building a splash pad.

Hubley said it will cost around $400,000 to install a new splash pad, according to city staff. That’s up from the previous estimated cost of around $100,000. The larger price tag comes from city staff advice that new splash pads will have to be built with dual drainage systems.

“Where do these regulations come from that are causing the cost of splash pads to go so high?” Hubley said.

Hubley said he has been told the water used in splash pads should drain into the sanitary sewer system for treatment during the summer when the splash pad is in use and into the city’s storm sewers in the off season. The information came to light over the winter when the councillor inquired about adding water-play features to parks.

The issue has delayed construction of a new park at Crownridge Drive and Hope Side Road, which was supposed to be built this year.

“In there was to be water play and other fea-tures,” Hubley said. “Under the original inter-pretation (of the drainage requirements), all that there would be money for would be the water play (feature), so I have delayed the park because

I want some tennis courts in that park, too.”The only information Hubley said he’s re-

ceived so far is a verbal interpretation of a “regulation” from city staff – but no details on whether it’s a new rule passed by the province or an existing protocol the city is getting around to enforcing.

“Staff (is) saying we can’t move ahead with doing these water parks because of these chang-es, but we don’t have the formal report outlin-ing the changes,” Hubley said.

A city spokesperson didn’t respond to a re-quest for more information before this newspa-per’s deadline.

He brought his frustration about the lack of response to his Feb. 18 environment committee inquiry to the planning committee last week in hopes of getting action on it.

Getting a “proper legal interpretation” in hand will give him something to refute, Hubley said.

He said he’s building a case for the city to use water fi ltration systems available for $10,000 to $15,000 that would remove contaminants from the water, which could then be put into the storm sewers without a need for two drainage systems.

Splash pads, unlike public pools, are con-sidered to be “unregulated” under the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act. The province does provide operating guidelines for facilities like splash pads, which advise opera-tors to ensure water can’t be left standing for more than 15 minutes without requiring addi-tional disinfection. If water is re-circulated and held in a basin for more than 15 minutes, the guidelines advise that the water must be treated and discharged as waste water.

News - In contrast to the NIMBY movement of com-munities railing against new and unwanted developments in their areas, Old Ottawa East residents gathered on June 10 to fi nd ways to be “YIMBYs” and say “Yes in my backyard.”

The event, titled “Deep Green,” was a forum held by the community association and Sustainable Living Ot-tawa East to gain ideas and feedback on how to make the planned redevelopment of the institutional lands on Main Street an environmentally and socially sustainable addition to the neighbourhood.

Regional Group recently confi rmed it will buy the land and abide by the community design plan to develop around 900 new housing units on the land currently occupied by the Oblate fathers Catholic order. Domicile is in the process of getting approval for a neigh-bouring building on the front portion of the Sisters of the Sa-cred Heart lands.

Representatives from both companies were on hand to listen to ideas presented at the forum.

Before those builders put shovels in the ground, Rebecca Aird said she and SLOE want to offer constructive and fi nan-cially feasible suggestions on how to make the new develop-ment a good fi t for the area.

“We’re talking about big change for our community,” said John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa East Commu-nity Association. “We want to manage that and make it work for us.”

Although the community groups don’t have any guar-

antee the developers will heed their suggestions, Aird said if the ideas are sound and make good business sense, she be-lieves developers will listen.

“It’s about stretching the boundaries in terms of what transpires between a communi-ty and a developer ... It’s about being proactive and construc-tive rather than reactive and negative,” she said. “How can we be ‘YIMBY’ – ‘yes in my backyard’ – about this devel-opment, rather than ‘NIMBY’ (not in my backyard)?”

THEMES

Sustainable Living Ottawa East worked with students from Carleton University’s research project on commu-nity engagement to defi ne four main themes to focus on when attempting to shape redevel-opment plans: community amenities and connectivity, stormwater management and shoreline restoration, afford-able and seniors’ housing and energy sustainability.

Following presentations on each topic, residents gathered for group discussions on how those topics could or should be infl uenced.

Dance spoke about the need for community space, since the small old town hall currently used for public programming will be overstretched as the neighbourhood grows. Work-ing with the city and develop-ers to lobby for public ameni-ties like a recreational centre or community space will be critical, he said.

City-owned spaces aren’t the only amenities the com-munity needs – a full range of shops and services, especially a grocery store – are other things to lobby for, Dance said.

Increased transit frequency will also be an eventual ne-cessity, he said. In discussion groups afterwards, residents expressed a desire for com-munity facilities and meeting spaces to be incorporated into the same area as shops in order to bolster their use.

A lively discussion about affordable housing and ac-commodations for seniors was kicked off by Geri Blinick, community developer with the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. She said the group has heard there is a need for more varied housing options

for seniors and low-income residents in Old Ottawa East. Talks are already underway to pursue some form of sub-sidized housing at the Oblate lands – an effort supported by David Kardish of Regional Group, who sits the on board of the Centretown Affordable Housing Coalition.

The redevelopment also presents an opportunity to save the Rideau River shoreline, said Ian McRae, a member of SLOE. Extending low-impact development to the river’s edge could help make the eroded shoreline a place people can

use while simultaneously pro-viding more stability to the embankment. McRae suggest-ed things like “water ladders,” fl at water play areas and view-ing decks could help shore up the edge and make it useable for residents.

Drafting a business case for sustainable energy solutions for the Oblate lands is a more esoteric task, said Martin Ad-elaar, who spoke on that topic. Coming up with proposals that are “fl exible, resilient, scal-able and energy effi cient” is the goal and Adelaar suggested district energy systems are the

answer. A district energy system is a

centralized heating and cooling system that serves many build-ings in a defi ned area. The sys-tems are intended to reduce en-ergy use and are able to make more use of environmentally friendly energy sources.

Funding district energy sys-tems or other sustainable infra-structure is the challenge and SLOE and residents discussed presenting options such as crowdsourcing, social impact bonds and community bonds to generate seed funding for the projects.

News - This Canada Day a special travelling exhibit will offer visitors to Rideau Hall a chance to celebrate ordinary Canadians.

For four days leading up to Canada Day, the exhibit, It’s An Honour, will be setting up shop on the grounds of Rideau Hall share some of the extraor-dinary accomplishments of ordinary Canadians. Exhibit manager Katie O’Brian said the cross-country travelling museum exhibition offers peo-ple the chance to learn about some great Canadians.

“Yes there are famous Ca-nadians that we all know, but a lot of these stories are regular people,” O’Brian said. “Here a lot of the recipients are or-dinary Canadians who have done something extraordinary. It’s very inspirational and a chance to learn more about the people who live around you.”

Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from June 28 to July 1, the

free exhibit introduces visitors to Canada’s honour systems, showcasing Canadians who have been honoured in differ-ent ways either on behalf of the Queen, the Order of Can-ada, Declarations of Bravery, Military Valour Decorations and other national honours.

The exhibit is set up on the back of an 18-wheeler and af-ter its Ottawa stop, it will be on the road again to visit other Canadian cities

“It doesn’t feel like you are in the back of a truck,” O’Brian said. “It’s just a unique experi-ence with so much to do.”

The exhibition promises to be interactive, O’Brian said, with information panels, touch screens and artifacts as well as stations where people can test their knowledge on Canada’s national honours and share their comments in the exhibit’s interactive areas.

Chris Hadfi eld will even of-fer his two cents in holograph-ic form.

Situated on the driveway of the Gov.-Gen. David John-

ston’s residence, patrons will have the opportunity to learn about Johnston’s role and responsibilities as Canada’s head of state.

The idea for the museum on wheels came from its spon-sor, Don Taylor, an Order of Canada recipient. According to O’Brian, when Taylor came to Ottawa to receive his med-al, he learned about Canada’s honour system.

“That’s why it’s mobile,” O’Brian said. “He felt it was important for people to see and have all Canadians see.”

O’Brian said the travelling exhibit offers people an alter-native to downtown Canada Day celebrations.

Each day during the stop, the travelling exhibit will cel-ebrate four themes: Canadian literature, honouring people in service, volunteers and of course Canada Day celebra-tions, O’Brian said.

The exhibit is bilingual and wheelchair accessible.

“It will be pretty hard to miss,” O’Brian said.

It’s An Honour travelling exhibit will be stationed on the grounds of Rideau Hall for four days at the end of this month.

News - John Baizana, one of the organizers and found-ers of the Barrhaven Run for Rogers, said the community managed to raise $50,000 for Rogers House this year.

The event – which features a tot trot, a 2.5 kilometre fam-ily run and fi ve and 10-km timed runs – is in its seventh year in Barrhaven.

Rogers House provides sup-

port and accommodations for families of children receiving care for chronic and terminal conditions at CHEO.

Baizana said there were 1,200 participants in the com-bined runs this year.

“Our family run was the most popular,” he said. “A lot of Rogers House families par-ticipated.”

While $50,000 isn’t a re-cord-breaking fundraising amount – it smashed last year`s total of $27,000.

Baizana said he thought the later spring weather might have slowed registration.

Runners from Ontario and Quebec, and some as far away as Guelph did register for the timed runs though, with prizes of $1,500 for fi rst, $1,000 for second, and $200 for third.

“It was a great day,” Bai-zana said.

News - If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

That was the message from Ottawa Police Const. Sue Wright during a seniors semi-nar hosted by College Coun. Rick Chiarelli on June 11.

The seminar was third in a series aimed at protecting se-niors from fraudsters both at home and abroad.

The material was far reach-ing and included tips on com-puter and online security to choosing a contractor for home renovations.

While computer users need to be vigilant about phishing emails pretending to be banks looking for your account in-formation, Wright said there’s a lot people can do offl ine as well.

Wright said it’s important to keep track of your purchases when getting your credit card bill every month and to keep information safe to protect from identity theft.

“Never carry your SIN card with you,” she said. “It’s the best thing to use to steal your identity.”

Wright also warned about passwords – making sure they are long and varied enough – and remembering to shut off your computer when you’re done using it.

“It’s fi ne to have a password, but if I leave my computer logged on and someone breaks in, they have access to my in-ternet activity, maybe even my banking,” she said.

It isn’t just the computer that can be a minefi eld, Wright warned seniors of door-to-door sales people and fundraisers.

She said to call police if res-idents are concerned about an overly aggressive salesperson.

Chiarelli said there was a scam in Centrepointe one year where a contractor went around soliciting money for snow removal contracts.

“He was smart about it and plowed the fi rst foot of peo-ple’s driveways so it wasn’t a criminal offence, just a civil matter,” Chiarelli said. “Then he went back around and apol-ogized and asked for $200 to fi x his truck.”

Chiarelli said over half the people who had already given the contractor money the fi rst time, also opted to loan him the

other $200.Charity scams can be par-

ticularly damaging as well, Chiarelli said.

Ottawa Neighbourhood Ser-vices – an organization that provides clothing to new Ca-nadians or people displaced by disaster – will not have enough clothes this year for their cli-ents, largely because of the false donation boxes that line streets and parking lots.

Chiarelli said criminals sell the clothes and keep the prof-its.

“I’m currently working with staff to fi x the current by-law to plug up some holes in it and fi nd a solution,” he said.

Wright said residents need to do their homework and see how much of their donation goes to the actual charity.

“I fi nd organizations I am comfortable and dedicate my regular donations to them,” she said.

If the worst case happens and you think you have be-come a victim of fraud, report it to police, Wright said.

“I know a lot of people are embarrassed, but it helps police establish patterns and catch the perpetrators,” she said.

News - Stephanie Headley is slowly “turning to stone” inside and out, and it will kill her unless she can undergo an innovative new procedure, she says.

Headley, a single mother of four teenage and adult children from Kanata, was diagnosed with systematic scleroderma in 2001, a rare auto-immune disease that occurs when a person’s own immune system works against them and causes the over-production of col-lagen, a fi brous protein that makes up skin and connective tissue.

The result, in Headley’s case, is the hardening of both her skin and internal organs.

“Some people would de-scribe it as turning to stone,” she said during an interview in her home while hooked up to an oxygen tank.

Having dealt with the dis-ease for more than a decade, Headley doesn’t know how much longer she can survive, but is making a last push for the closest thing to a cure available.

The only thing standing in her way is $125,000 US.

STRONG ENOUGH

Inspired by her children and a narrow escape from pneu-monia last year, Headley be-lieves she is strong enough to survive.

Headley had been dealing with the disease for two years before she was diagnosed, as her doctors could not fi gure out where her bouts of intense joint pain were coming from. But blood work showed she had systemic scleroderma.

Learning just what was wrong with her was a blessing, she said.

“I was elated, because at that point, some doctors were actually starting to wonder if it was all in my mind,” said Headley.

But it was a double-edged sword, she said. “You don’t want to have scleroderma, but at the same time you want to know what you have, that something is

wrong.”The diagnosis meant Head-

ley could undergo more target-ed treatment, but with sclero-derma, that doesn’t mean too much.

All Headley’s doctors could do is give her medication to deal with individual symptoms, like pain, gastric and intestinal issues, lung fi brosis, nausea

and much more, she said.Those are all caused from

the hardening process, but because her immune system is compromised, she is also susceptible to everyday health issues, like contracting pneu-monia.

Last fall, a severe form of pneumonia nearly killed her.

With her symptoms grow-

ing worse, but having over-come the pneumonia, Headley decided to be done with the disease or die trying.

While there is no offi cial cure for systemic scleroder-ma, there is one procedure that seems to have cured oth-ers with the disease as well as other kinds of auto-immune diseases.

It’s called a stem cell trans-plant and it’s very expensive.

Though Headley could un-dergo the procedure in Cana-da, the success rate here is no where near as good as with Dr. Richard Burt, an American doctor who practises in Chi-cago.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

On a rollEmployees from Coco Paving endured a heat wave on Monday, June 9 to start paving the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge connecting Barrhaven and Riverside South. After two years of delays, the bridge is due to open in the fall.


The procedure’s use spe-cifi cally for auto-immune diseases was piloted by Burt. It works by stripping a patient of their immune system us-ing chemotherapy, and then retrieving stem cells from the patient which are then clear of the disease. The patient’s im-mune system is then re-grown using their own stem cells from the ground up.

“You are like an infant … but you no longer have the damaged immune system,” said Headley.

With a success rate of 80 per cent and 10 years hon-ing the process for those with auto-immune diseases, Burt is Headley’s best hope, she said.

Now, she is fundraising for her life, asking for donations from anybody and everybody.

The procedure will cost $125,000, she said. With fund-raising having started a month ago, she and her family have collected $6,000 from family members and strangers.

“That’s not bad,” she said with a smile, though she knows she is racing against the clock.

With her lungs at 48 per cent capacity, and a heart at-

tack possible at any moment, Headley said she has a window of time before she is either dead or too sick to undergo the treatment.

“It is quite dangerous, quite invasive,” said Headley of the procedure. But it’s something she has to try, she said, if only to see her children grow up.

With one of her adult chil-dren navigating life with a de-velopmental disorder, another forgoing university to make money for the family, and two more in high school, Headley said she still hopes to be there for them and see what kind of people they grow up to be.

KEEPS HER GOING

That’s the thought that kept her going through the pneu-monia that nearly killed her, said Headley. Overcoming that hurdle convinced her she wasn’t ready to die.

“It was bigger than, ‘I’ve got nothing to lose,’” said Headley of her decision to undergo the stem-cell transplant. “I want to fi ght to be with my kids.

“A: I’ve got nothing to lose, B: I fought through this for my kids, and I beat all the odds, surprised all those doctors that weren’t sure if I would make

it through the pneumonia, but I did.

“I thought, ‘I’m going for it,’ and that was it.”

Now, it’s a matter of mon-ey.

Headley and her daugh-ter, Skylar, are raising money through the website YouCar-ing.com.medical-fundraiser/save-steph/178051 and pleas-esaveourmom/179061.

The family has also opened an RBC account for those who want to donate money that way.

Finally, Headley also hopes volunteers could help her or-ganize a fundraising event.

Time is of the essence, said her father, Peter Headley, who is part of the contingent of family members who help Stephanie Headley through her day.

“The earlier we can raise the money, the better, but it can’t go beyond a year,” he said.

Headley said she is inspired by her children to continue her fi ght.

“I worked very hard to raise four wonderful children, to give back to this world and to follow their path … and I so would love to see what they do and the path they follow.”

News - Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson will ask city council to refuse to support a proposed cell phone tower on Dozois Road.

Telus applied to Industry Cana-da to get approval for the 35-metre tower via the Standard Land Com-pany Inc.

More than 750 people have signed an online petition against

putting a tower near St. Mark High School and Manotick Montessori School.

The petition, launched by An-drea Woolner, lists concerns about the health effects of electromagnet-ic radiation emanating from com-munications towers.

Locating a communications tow-er beside two schools, including a major high school, as well as a “high-end residential development” isn’t appropriate, Thompson said.

“I think there is an insensitivity by those people who want to con-struct cell towers – an insensitivity to the residents and the area that they want to set it up,” Thompson said.

“There are places they could fi nd that are away from the very intense residential-school area.”

City council will be asked to re-voke its concurrence for the Dozois Road site during a meeting on June 25.

Industry Canada gets the fi nal say, but the federal ministry takes local concerns into consideration.

Thompson said the staffer in charge of the project has asked for

suggested alternative locations for the tower and Thompson intends to submit his preferences. An open tract of rural land on the northeast side of Mitch Owens is an option, Thompson said, or Telus could try to co-locate equipment on an exist-ing tower.

Thompson cited an issue nearby last year when he was successful in helping convince Rogers to re-locate the proposed cell tower to a less objectionable location and said he hoped the same could be done with Telus.

At a Greely Community Asso-ciation meeting the same night, MP Pierre Polivre said there must be a

better location for the tower.“I think there’s going to be a need

for a tower in the area, but there is a lot of...green space around the area and there’s great potential to fi nd a spot that’s not right next to a school and a childcare centre.”

Polievre said he has written to Industry Canada Minister James Moore to request he turn down Telus’s application.

“I believe my constituents under-stand the need for cell towers, but in this particular case the benefi ts do not outweigh the risks,” Poilivre wrote in the letter.

Notice of Completion of Environmental Study Report

The Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the Cambrian Road Widening Environmental Assessment (future realigned Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road) has been completed and has been placed on record June 12, 2014 for a 30-day public review period.

In March 2013, the City of Ottawa initiated the Environmental Assessment for the proposed widening of Cambrian Road between the future Re-Aligned Greenbank Road and Jockvale Road. This study has been completed in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, 2011, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Both the Barrhaven South Community Design Plan, (approved by Council in June 2006) and the City of Ottawa Transportation Master Plan (2013) identifies the requirement for widening of Cambrian Road from two to four lanes to accommodate future growth in the community.

Copies of the Environmental Study Report are available for review at the following locations:

During the public review period, interested persons are encouraged to read the ESR and provide comments. Please direct written comments to:

If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as Part II Order). The Part II Order request must be received by the Minister of the Environment during the 30 day review period and a copy of the request should be forwarded to the City of Ottawa. If there are no requests received by July 14, 2014, the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Municipal Class EA, and the project will proceed, provided that funding is available, to design and construction as presented in the ESR.

Dangerous trend: Increase in charges and reports of dogs left in hot cars

This year, the Ottawa Humane Society has laid more charges and gotten more calls to save dogs from hot cars this spring than ever before, exposing a dangerous trend that could put even more dogs at risk as the weather heats up.

By this time last year, just two people faced charges for leaving dogs in hot cars. This year, despite the slower start to the summer weather, that number has climbed to three. Calls to report dogs found in hot cars this year has risen nearly 20 per cent, from 81 to 97.

“Unfortunately, people are still leaving their dogs behind when they run into the store,” said OHS Insp. Smith. “This could kill your dog. Even 10 minutes with the kind of heat and humidity we get in summer and you’re dog could die. Your

car becomes an oven very quickly.”The latest charge came Monday when

an owner allegedly left his two-month-old Mastiff, named Gucci, inside the car for two hours. The puppy, who was panting heavily and trying to hide under the seat, was checked out by an agent at the scene. His owner, Tagried Mohamed, 19, has been charged with permitting distress to an animal. He first appears in court on July 3.

One day before that, an Old English sheepdog named Spencer was allegedly left for more than an hour while his owners were at Rideau Carleton Raceway. An OHS agent rushed Spencer, 11, for emergency care. He was treated with IV fluids, cold towels and ice packs to bring down his temperature. Spencer recovered

but his owners, Marin Umbres, 57, and Carmen Palos, 52, have been charged with failing to meet the standard of care and causing distress. They are scheduled to first appear in court on July 10.

It’s not clear whether this year’s jump in numbers can be pinned on increased awareness leading to more reports or on more people leaving their dogs in hot cars, Smith said.

“Either way, the calls we’re getting means we have a serious problem with dogs being left to cook in cars,” Smith said. When it’s hot, keep your pet at home, she said.

“That decision may save your dog’s life,” Smith said.

If you see an animal in distress, call the OHS emergency line at 613-725-1532.

Sven (A166580) is in search of his forever home - could it be with you?

Sven is a sweet tabby who may play shy at first but once he’s comfortable with new friends he is a loving companion - granted he gets plenty of chin scratches! Sven would love a quiet home with adult owners. He likes to spend his days taking cat naps and searching out sunny spots he can snooze in.

For more information on Sven and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

News - A proposed city policy that emerged from a push to get more green spaces in Centretown will achieve nothing of the sort, accord-ing to both developers and residents.

The city is proposing a different version of an idea called “small mo-ments,” something originally sug-gested by an unlikely coalition of the Centretown Citizens Community Association and a group of develop-ers when the Centretown Commu-nity Design Plan was in development in 2012. The developer-commu-nity coalition suggested the vision of a greater number of small green spaces to be gained by allowing de-velopers slightly more lenient zoning as an alternative to the proposal the city adopted: a “landmark tall build-ings” policy that will result in fewer, taller buildings with larger parks or squares.

But city staff also saw the merit in studying something like small moments, and with direction from the Ontario Municipal Board, which will hear an appeal of the community design plan this fall, that small mo-ments study is underway.

In the city’s proposed version of the small moments policy, devel-opers could take some of the den-sity allowed on their lot and move it

around, creating a taller builder with a small open space for a park or sit-ting area at the ground level.

But the proposal offers no incen-tive for developers to actually do that, said Russel Kronick, who owns a property at 267 O’Connor St. he hopes to redevelop. Although the city is currently processing an ap-plication for a tall landmark build-ing for his property, Kronick is one of the people who appealed the CDP because he would have preferred to see a “small moments” strategy in-stead.

But the city’s new suggestion doesn’t come close to what he was hoping for, Kronick said, calling the proposal “a tribute to mediocrity.” The city needs to provide a fi nancial incentive by allowing developers to apply for increased density or devel-opment capacity on their sites in ex-change for a small moment, Kronick said. As it stands, the city would be giving developers a opportunity to pay more to build a parkette, but over no fi nancial incentive in return.

“Why would any developer even think of doing a small moment?” Kronick said. “Good luck.”

Dan Mullaly, a Centretown resi-dent, agreed. He puzzled over how the city would actually expect to see any parkettes built.

“You’re expecting developers to absorb greater costs because you’re

expecting him to get a return on it,” he said. “Where is the incentive?”

City planning manager John Smit explained that the policy isn’t meant to be an incentive – it’s offering a choice for developers.

He said developers often prefer to build a taller building that’s slim-mer and more attractive, which can provide greater opportunities for profi t even if the density is the same as what could be achieved through a shorter, squatter building.

The policy would allow develop-ers to rezone their sites and build up to 15 storeys if they set aside 10 per cent of the site or 200 square metres (whichever is greater) for a publi-cally accessible parkette.

Most areas in the Centretown community design plan are zoned for four

The open spaces aren’t meant to be simple patches of grass, said con-sultants from the Planning Partner-ship who are working on the project. The city would be looking for “very carefully designed, imaginative and heavily used spaces” constructed with high-quality materials, similar to Paley Park in New York.

Comments on the small moments policy can be sent to city planner Cheryl Brouillard by emailing [email protected]. Planning committee will vote on the policy on July 8.

‘Small moments’ won’t create downtown greenspaces

SUBMITTED

The city is considering allowing developers to build taller structures to free up space to make small parkettes in Centretown.

News – The past few years have been full of legal and medical struggles for Orléans wrestler Dev-on Nicholson.

Nicholson – who wrestles under the moniker Hannibal – has spent the past few years in legal battles and medical treatments to over-come the devastating effects of an incident in the wrestling ring by Larry Shreve, also known as Abdul-lah the Butcher.

Nicholson has always alleged that he contracted hepatitis C af-ter Shreve cut himself with a blade several times in a match, then cut Nicholson with the same blade.

Shortly after, Nicholson found out he had hepatitis C. Tests later confi rmed that both Shreve and Nicholson had the same uncommon genotype of hepatitis C.

He lost his World Wrestling En-tertainment (WWE) contract and his dream turned into a nightmare.

A judge has now ruled that he did contract hepatitis C from Shreve - who must pay Nicholson $2.3 mil-lion in damages.

“He said he didn’t cut me, and he didn’t have hepatitis C,” Nicholson said. “You don’t have to have any special medical knowledge to know that’s dangerous.”

Nicholson hasn’t just been fi ght-ing a legal battle since the May 2007 fi ght.

The real fi ght has been for his life, going through intense treat-ment to fi ght against the hepatitis C.

The treatment Nicholson went through is similar to chemotherapy, in the sense that it was very strong and caused crippling side effects.

“I felt like I was in prison,” he said about his time in treatment. “It was a nightmare situation. But it

was well worth the suffering.”Nicholson was cured, and is now

hepatitis free. It’s part of the reason the settlement was less than the $6 million originally requested.

Now, Nicholson trains twice a day at the Bob McQuarrie Recre-ation Complex, lifting weights for several hours, and later coming back to run. He balances this with working at a group home for devel-

opmentally-delayed adults. “I’m a very dedicated athlete, I

think I’m in good shape,” he said. “I still have the talent.”

At 31 years old, he’s putting all his efforts behind trying to achieve his dream he thought was gone for good. Now that he’s hepatitis-free, he can try out for the WWE again.

He said that other wrestlers are encouraging him, hoping to see he

gets a second chance. He’ll get his chance in Iowa

on July 18, but he’s already had a chance to step back in the ring.

“It felt like I was home,” he said, about his May 10 match in Smiths Falls. “I don’t think I fell asleep un-til 5 a.m. later on. It’s just nice to be healthy and out in that world. I think that’s what my destiny is.”

“Hannibal” will wrestle closer to

home on Aug. 30 in a Great North Wrestling match against AJ Styles in Hawkesbury, Ont.

He hopes that the battle against hepatitis will be in his past, and his long-time dream of wrestling in the WWE league becomes his new re-ality.

“Now I can hopefully put this behind me and be known for some-thing else,” Nicholson said.

News - Christine Fish is one of 400 participants who registered to march through Brittania Beach in the 2014 Ottawa-Gatineau Gutsy Walk on June 8.

The national fi ve kilometre walk raises awareness and funds research in support of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two terribly un-comfortable cases of digestive track infl ammation that currently have no cure.

In the past the Gutsy Walk has been held at Carleton University, and this is the fi rst year in its new loca-tion by the shore.

More than 15,000 participants and hundreds of patients, supporters, sponsors and volunteers in 59 cities across Canada helped to raise $3 mil-lion on that day.

“They have come a long way fi nd-ing medications to slow down the fl aring and all the other wonderful symptoms associated with it and by raising money for it, hopefully we’ll be able to fi nd more effective drugs and why it is affecting people,” said Fish, 41.

In 2005, Fish had surgery to re-move her colon, the only way to eliminate the disease from spreading for her case of colitis. She later had a j-pouch installed, a portion of the large intension remodeled to act as a supplementary colon in 2006.

Fish takes part in the Gutsy Walk to teach her son the importance of sup-porting causes with personal value, and encourage thousands of affected Canadians to share their stories and

contribute to research. Her team of friends and family, the Royal Flush-ers, raised $1,000 this year and just over $3,000 since she began walking three years ago.

“I know some people, given the nature of the disease, they are sort of afraid to talk about it, whether it’s something that affected them or

that family members might be going through. It is something you can’t be ashamed of. It’s a disease. We need to talk about it, we need to fi nd a cure,” said Fish.

One of the largest research ini-tiatives being funded through the Crohn’s and Colitis Canada organi-zation is GEM. The study will de-

termine possible causes for Crohn’s disease using environmental and ge-netic links. The 10-year study may explain why some family members get the disease and others do not.

Sherry Pang is a huge supporter of this research project and serves as the eastern Ontario development co-ordinator for Crohn’s and Colitis

Canada. She’s also a Crohn’s patient and has been a gutsy Walk partici-pant for 19 years.

Pang and her two sons became personally invested in the project when it started six years ago, volun-teering as research subjects.

COMING TOGETHER

“As a patient it’s empowering to see everybody come together for the cause on that day,” said Sherry Pang said of the Gutsy Walk.

Brandon Valiquette, 23, volun-teered at the walk. He was affected when his best friend, who wished to remain anonymous, was diagnosed with Crohn’s a few years ago.

“It’s been quite the burden on her, and as the best friend I’ve tried to be there and support her. It’s defi nitely taxing and I can imagine a tiring thing for her,” said Valiquette.

His friend was hospitalized for multiple weeks because of the dis-ease last fall, and he spent most of time between school hours visiting her to keep her company and show his support.

To continued his support for her, Valiquette volunteered at the Ottawa-Gatineau Gutsy Walk when she was unable to attend the event.

Valiquette said his favourite part of the day was seeing the creative team names participants came up with for the Ottawa Gutsy Walk plastered on homemade t-shirts, and giant signs: Missing links, Boots and Toots, and Poo Fighters, to name just a few.

Additional donations are being ac-cepted until July 2. To get involved or donate go to gutsywalk.ca.

CHRISTINE FISH/SUBMITTED

Christine Fish, right, who is aff ected by Crohn’s disease is joined by her two sons James and William, her husband John and friend John, wearing homemade T-shirts with their team name, the Royal Flushers they will take part in the Gutsy Walk on June 8.

We could hear the horn long before we could see the car. It was a horn like no other heard in all of Renfrew

County. We knew it was Uncle Lou. He usually

let Mother know when he was coming, but sometimes he just arrived, like it was an ev-eryday occurrence to drive all the way from New York just to visit us out on the farm.

By the time his big black Buick pulled into the yard, driving down our long lane off Northcote Side Road, Everett had run to open the gate wide, Audrey had replaced the Eaton’s catalogue with the orange wrapping papers in the outhouse, Mother had changed her apron to one spanking clean, and the rest of us circled the yard jumping up and down like jackrabbits. Even Father had stopped whatever he was doing in the barns, and joined us, ready to greet Uncle Lou and his black Buick with the big shiny brass American eagle on the radiator.

Mother, as usual, whenever her brother came from New York, was crying. It took me a long time to learn the difference between crying because you were sad or crying because you were overcome with joy. Mother was overcome with joy.

Uncle Lou pulled the car up close to the back door of the house, and when he got out, he swung Mother around like she was a toy doll, and then pumped Father’s hand, and then grabbed each of us into a bear hug, one that took my breath away.

Uncle Lou never came empty handed. I tried not to make it look too obvious, but I couldn’t help looking into the back of the car, and there were boxes upon boxes, and in the front seat were brown paper bags. I knew without a doubt he had stopped in Renfrew and bought bags of oranges, bananas, grapes, and a bag of lemons for Mother, all things we would never dream of adding to our Saturday morning shop-ping list. It was like Christmas, right in the middle of summer.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the back of the car, but Uncle Lou didn’t seem to be in any great hurry to unload his luggage or the boxes. He did reach in and take out the bags of fruit though, which caused Mother

to shed another great pile of tears.Emerson, who loved cars, was walking

around and around the Buick like it was made of gold. In fact, we all thought the big eagle on the radiator was pure gold, un-til Uncle Lou corrected us and said it was brass. Emerson was rubbing his hand over it and making clucking sounds of approval. “Sure like that bird,” he kept saying.

With his arm tight around Mother’s waist, Uncle Lou headed into the house, and ordered the boys to unload the car.

First to come out were the many boxes, some with Macy’s Department Store printed on them, others just plain boxes tied with ribbons and string. Then came Uncle Lou’s luggage. Just looking at his suitcases, all made of smooth tan cowhide, confi rmed in my young mind once again that Uncle Lou had to be the richest man in all of New York.

Uncle Lou also had a good memory. With-out even opening the boxes, he knew exactly which one was to go to each of us. Of course for Mother there were yards of beautiful silk material, and a purse made of genuine leather in bright red. I couldn’t imagine such luxury.

My box held a beautiful pair of white ankle stockings, with real lace around the tops, just like Marguirite wore to Northcote School, and books -- how I loved owning my very own books.

Then, all that was left was a box which Uncle Lou kept apart from all the rest. He held it under his arm, and I wondered if he had brought something by mistake because he

didn’t look like he was in any hurry to hand it to someone.

When we were fi nished with opening all the wonderful gifts, Uncle Lou fi nally handed Mother the box from under his arm. “It’s for the whole family,” he said, but Mother was to open it.

Mother sat down on a kitchen chair with the box in her lap. We fi ve children circled around her, and I could feel excitement right down to my toes. She seemed to take forever to untie the strings, and then she peered in the box, and was into the tears again.

What she took out of the box almost caused the rest of us to cry along with her. There nestled in mounds of white tissue paper was a brass American eagle exactly like the one on

Uncle Lou’s big black Buick, only this one was on a pedestal. Emerson, of course, wanted to hold it, but Mother had a death-grasp on it, and she kept rubbing it with the tail of her white apron.

Where to put it was the next question. Em-erson, never short on ideas, thought it could be attached to the hood of the old Model T. The old Model T, missing a door, painted two different colours, and with a radiator that had to be opened every few miles to pour in more water.

And so it was decided. It would sit on top of the ice box. The new ice box that Grandfa-ther had bought from Barnett’s in Renfrew and now sat kitty-cornered in the kitchen.

Audrey was told to take off the geranium

plant, give the top a good wipe with a clean dishcloth, and when all that was done, Mother got up and as if she was laying a cornerstone at an historic building, she put the American brass eagle in the very centre of the ice box.

Not a word was spoken as we stood there like mutes, admiring this new and wonderful addition to our old log house. There was some discussion about its being put on the twig table in the parlour with the Bible, but Audrey pointed out that the parlour was seldom used, and no visitor would ever see it.

And so it was decided. The American Eagle, identical to the one on Uncle Lou’s Buick, would have its home on our oak ice box, where it would be the fi rst thing anyone would notice, coming in the kitchen. Yes, we all agreed. That’s where this treasure belonged, and where it stayed all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County.

Diabetes advocate wins scholarshipEmma [email protected]

News – Osgoode Township High School student Rebecca Lafrance was one of fi ve Ottawa students honoured for their good work on behalf of diabetes awareness this spring.

On May 26, Lafrance and her fel-low students travelled to Toronto to receive their $2,500 scholarships from the Diabetes Hope Founda-tion, which was founded in 1999 to “reward, empower, and provide ed-ucational resources for youth with diabetes to achieve a life without limits (while) living with diabetes,” according to the website.

“I believe I was chosen because ... I am able to manage my diabe-tes around my life and I don’t let it affect me,” Lafrance said. “My family and I work together to make

sure everything’s ok. Now that I’m in high school I have more indepen-dence and I’m learning to take care of myself better.”

The 17-year-old Grade 12 stu-

dent was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2002, when she was six years old. For seven years, she used insulin injections to manage her blood sugar and keep the disease

under control.Today, the teen uses an insulin

pump – something she said made a big improvement in her life.

She’s involved in a number of school activities, and volunteers with the Juvenile Diabetes Re-search Foundation (JDRF) to help others living with diabetes.

Lafrance has played on her school’s touch football team, and she is a member of her school’s Link Crew to help Grade 9 students transition to high school. She’s also an avid dancer, taking hip hop classes at Denise Smith School of Dance in Manotick.

“I like to be involved in sports to stay active,” she said.

Lafrance’s scholarship will go toward her fi rst and last semester at Algonquin College, where she plans to study radio broadcast be-ginning in September.

Lifestyle - This subtlety smoked planked Brie would be perfect as either an appe-tizer or as dessert. Be sure to soak a cedar plank for at least two hours before using. Prep-aration time: fi ve minutes. Soaking time: two hours (ce-dar plank). Grilling time: 10 minutes. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 45 ml (3 tbsp) packed brown sugar• 25 ml (2 tbsp) fi nely diced shal-lots or onion• 25 ml (2 tbsp) cider vinegar• 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) fi nely grated fresh gingerroot • 3 whole cloves• 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries• 1 round (10 centimetre/four inch) brie cheese• crackers or sliced baguette

PREPARATION

In a small saucepan, the combine sugar, shallots, vin-egar, ginger and cloves and bring to simmer over medium

heat, stirring until reduced and syrupy – about one to two min-utes. Discard the cloves. Stir in the blueberries. Transfer the mixture to a bowl or jar, cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to use (up to one day).

Place the soaked cedar plank on a preheated grill over medi-um-high heat. Cover and grill until the plank starts to smoke and crackle, turning once, for about two to four minutes. Place the cheese on the plank, close the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Grill

the cheese for fi ve minutes or until it turns just deep golden brown. Top the cheese with half of the blueberry chutney, close the lid and grill again until golden and a little puffy – about one to two minutes. Carefully remove the plank with the cheese from grill. Let it cool for one to two minutes. Place the planked cheese on platter and serve with the re-maining blueberry chutney and crackers on the side.
