News - As a child strug-gling with learning disabil-ities, Christina Ranieri was told time and again that there was something wrong with her.

She didn’t listen to them, and is now counting down the days until she opens the door to her new sum-mer day-camp program for children and adults with de-velopmental disabilities.

It is the fi rst program being offered through Ra-nieri’s non-profi t organiza-tion, Christy’s Integration, Skills, Day program and Educational Programs for persons with disabilities.

CISDEP, as it is known, launched in December.

It allows the 27-year-old South Keys resident to pour her training as a developmen-tal service worker into provid-ing respite care for families.

News - Firefi ghters snuffed out a fi re in a row house before it could spread to neighbouring units in Herongate on Sunday, June 29.

Damage to the unit at 2830 Sandalwood Dr. has been esti-mated at $25,000, but residents did not have to find alternate accommodation and no injuries were reported, according to fire officials.

The cause of the fi re was still be-ing investigated by the Ottawa fi re department Monday morning, June 30.

Fire crews received a number of 911 calls to the rental community at 9:26 p.m. Additional fi refi ghters

were called in at 9:35 p.m. In all, about 15 fi re trucks were on scene as a precaution in the event the fi re had spread.

“It began in a pathway in be-tween the row housing so there were exposures (neighbouring units) on either side,” said Lieut. Nancy Delbianco, who works in the fi re department’s communica-tions centre.

“When you’re talking about housing that’s so close together and actually connected with a wall, things can spread really quickly.”

By the time the fire was called in to emergency responders, the flames were on the outside of the row-housing units in the roof area.

The fl ames were brought under control at 9:45 p.m.

News - Only a few days before Canada Day, 40 families offi cially became Canadian citizens at a special ceremony held at Brewer Park.

The event was organized by the Catholic Immigration Centre of Ot-tawa and took place during the or-ganization’s annual Community Cup event on June 28.

The forty families swore an oath to Canada in both offi cial languages before receiving their certifi cates. For new Canadian Samir El-Tawil, the ceremony was an emotional one.

Both El-Tawil and his wife, Rula Agarshi, like many of the other new Canadians were wiping away

tears and overcome with emotion during the ceremony. El-Tawil and his family arrived in Ottawa seven years ago and offi cially began seek-ing Canadian citizenship two years ago.

“You wait a long time,” he said. “This is a great day.”

The special ceremony saw ap-pearances by politicians and dig-nitaries, who offered words of wis-dom to the new Canadians as well as as a special welcome gift: each new Canadian received a one-year pass admitting them for free to any Parks Canada park and a discount for travel within the country to en-courage everyone to discover all Canada has to offer.

The family moved to Ottawa seven years ago, and has been seeking citizenship for the past two years.

Sports - Players with the Gloucester Lacrosse Association recently rubbed shoulders with one of their idols: an Ottawa resident who currently plays in the National Lacrosse League.

Callum Crawford, who plays for the Min-nesota Swarm, shared tips and lacrosse knowl-edge with house-league and competitive play-ers, who showcased their talent during lacrosse games held on June 21 at the Brian Kilrea Arena in Elmvale Acres and at Leitrim’s Fred Barrett Arena.

“(Crawford) is a former GLA player and with many lacrosse players aspiring to the National Lacrosse League this was a great opportunity for them to connect with an NLL player,” Carol Brazeau, a member of the association’s execu-tive, said in a statement.

The National Lacrosse League is North America’s professional indoor lacrosse league, and includes nine teams in Canada and the United States.

The recent event marked the end of the house-league season for the lacrosse associa-tion. More than 600 people, from ages four to 21, played in the association’s house-league and competitive programs over the past season.

Lacrosse is considered the fastest game on two feet, Brazeau said.

The day-long celebration was also held in celebration of Lacrosse Day in Canada, which encourages lacrosse players across the country to unit in support of people in need. The La-

crosse Day program includes the message of building strength and community.

As part of that program, the association’s members generated more than $200 for the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard, which will use the funds to purchase milk, eggs, school snacks, cereal, pasta and canned goods for people in need, Brazeau said.

THE

SINCE

Continued from page 1

“As a person with disabili-ties myself, I see what fami-lies go through,” Ranieri said. “Families are struggling.

“Governments put so much pressure on the families to be the main caregivers, but give so little funding for relief time that it starts to affect their own health,” she explained. “And then some felt they either have to give up their children to the system or they don’t know where to go.”

Aging parents pass away and their children – who are often grown up, but still can’t live on their own – end up in the care of various organizations.

“It’s happening so much,” Ranieri said. “And that was the main motivation to do CISDEP, because we have no waiting list.”

The summer camp takes place Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, July 7 to Aug. 15, from noon to 4 p.m., at Steve MacLean Public School in Riverside South. The cost is $60 per day.

Ranieri knows what it

means to navigate life with a learning disability, and real-ize her dreams regardless of any challenges. In addition to having directional dyslexia, she also has attention-defi cit hyperactivity disorder.

Her career as an on-call relief worker for the Ottawa Carleton Association for Per-sons with Developmental Dis-abilities has given her some perspective on the needs of those she helps.

The waiting lists are long for families trying to access programs, Ranieri said, not-ing that families living on the outskirts have the added chal-lenge of having to drive in to the city to access services.

Ranieri herself provides care-giving services to a num-ber of people living on the fringes of Ottawa, where she said the need is the greatest, including Manotick, Kars, Os-goode, North Gower and Bar-rhaven.

“The issue is that there isn’t enough funding for programs,” Ranieri said.

Her own organization is so new that it must rely on fund-

raising. She’s thankful for community minded people coming forward to volunteer their time to help raise money through music nights, bake sales and a board-game night. A garage sale and barbecue is planned for July 5.

“We’ve had some success, but I’m actually the one pay-ing for the rent (for the sum-mer day camp),” she said.

Although just one person has signed up so far for sum-mer-camp programming in July, and another four are signed up in August, Ranieri said she believes she’s mak-ing a difference one family at a time.

“My program makes sure the parents get a little relief time where they can go and do groceries and go and social-ize and feel less stressed, that

maybe they can keep their kids home longer, if need be.”

And unlike some devel-opmental service workers who specialize in working with people with specifi c dis-abilities, Ranieri said she has experience working with people with different types of challenges, from autism, and learning disabilities such as attention-defi cit hyperac-tivity disorder and attention-defi cit disorder to cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Downs syndrome.

Ranieri said she also knows what it’s like being the primary

caregiver of a loved one – her mother has Parkinson’s.

“Funding was even cut for my own mother’s care,” she said.

Summer day camp will be offered by Ranieri and two of her staff members for people ages 10 to 70. She chose such a wide age range because of a gap in services for people with developmental disabilities.

“A lot of them don’t have services after they graduate from high school. Their fund-ing is drastically cut,” she ex-plained. “We started at (age) 10 because that’s when the cuts start happening.”

Day-camp programming will include life-skills training, helping participants build a so-cial network, fostering their independence, building self esteem and connecting them to recreational activities. Ran-ieri is also offering adult skills

training and volunteer mentor-ship opportunities through her non-profi t.

“I just want to help people with disabilities reach their dream as well,” Ranieri said. “I want to inspire them to do better, to have jobs that they like that pay reasonable or to fi nd friends.”

She said that while one day she hopes to run CISDEP full time, for now she’s passionate about helping participants in her program achieve their full potential.

“I can’t bear the thought of letting them down,” she said. “I know what they’re feeling.”

To celebrate the launch of CISDEP, and to help raise funds for programming, a bar-becue and garage sale, featur-ing music, special guests and games, will be held on July 5, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 1250 Southwood Dr.

For more information about the organization, its summer day camp program or to vol-unteer, visit cisdep.org.

Residents weigh in on Bank Street design changesErin [email protected]

News - Many residents of Greenboro and South Keys communities want to live in a neighbourhood that has a village feel, say city offi cials who are in the process of de-veloping a community design plan, based on public input, for the area.

“Inspirationally, people re-ally like Westboro, Mechan-icsville, and the Glebe and Preston Street for the vision,” city planner Jillian Savage told more than 100 residents who attended a second open house on the proposed vision at the Greenboro Community Centre on June 23.

“Essentially people like a village feel,” she said. “They like attractive streetscaping and are wanting a variety of shops and restaurants and meeting places, and just more of an urban feel for the study area.”

The refi ned design recom-mendations, which would set the stage for long-term devel-opment along Bank Street, from South Keys to Blossom Park, were unveiled at the meeting, based on feedback received through consultants, residents and public and busi-ness-advisory groups, as well as input received during the fi rst open house in February.

The study area stretches for about 3.4 kilometres along Bank Street, from the Canadian National Railway tracks near Johnston Road to Queensdale Avenue, and encompasses the South Keys Shopping Centre, the Green-

boro and South Keys transit stations, the Jewish Memorial Gardens, residential commu-nities, a light-industrial area as well as a portion of Saw-mill Creek.

Residents who have weighed in on the project have criticized the current condition of sidewalks in the area, as well as the proximity of pedestrians and automo-biles and poor cycling lanes, all which have been addressed in the plan, said Savage.

Sidewalks would be in-stalled the in the study area, crosswalks would be added, along with a cycling track to provide a safer dedicated space for cyclists, as well as bike storage near transit sta-tions.

“Why wait ‘til something like this to get (sidewalks) down?,” said Mike Shaw, who lives near Bank Street and Albion Road. “Maybe there’s not enough people walking in this city.”

Coun. Diane Deans, who represents the Gloucester-Southgate Ward, said the proposed redesign will go a long way to improving safety and alleviating speeding in the community over the long term.

“Certainly, sharing the road differently will help to address that because it will make it safer for pedestrians, it will make it safer for cy-clists and it will force drivers to slow down because they’ll have less road to use,” she said.

The design changes also take into account the need for better traffi c fl ow, given that

a number of intersections in the community are backed up during commute times, such as Bank Street and Hunt Club Road.

“Obviously we know the south end of the city is grow-ing rapidly and there’s plans for that to continue,” said Adam Howell, a transporta-tion engineer with MMM Group, which has been con-tracted by the city.

He said the plan includes features that promote the use of transit, as well as im-prove pedestrian and cycling routes.

Other proposed design el-ements include a mixed-use offi ce and commercial district near the South Keys transit plaza, as well as up to 15-storey height allowances for future buildings constructed around Hunt Club Road and Bank Street.

A Main Street and a new centrally-located town square would be created, which could feature seasonal mar-kets and offer a gathering space, Savage said.

“The point is, you can comfortably and safely walk along Main Street as really an experience, as opposed to what there is today, which is a lot of people actually drive and then park,” she said. “This is more of a pedestrian experience.”

Several neighbourhood parks would be created under the plan, two proposed com-munity facilities would be strategically located to poten-tially provide gallery spaces and a library, said Savage.

The redesign also leaves

room for possible future de-velopment on underdevel-oped land at the Greenboro transit station, “which could be better used than it is to-day,” she said.

“This is an area with po-tential long-term growth. You may never see this area change, however if operations dictate that we could look to … relocate the Greenboro park-and-ride, this is a vision for that area,” she explained.

When asked by residents

when the changes would take effect, Savage said the plan will be implemented gradual-ly over time as properties are redeveloped, possibly over the next fi ve to 10 years.

The transit stations will likely see change fi rst, she said.

“Often times those are most desirable for property developers,” said Savage. “However, this is a long-term plan, so it could take 20 or more years to see all of these

changes be introduced.”A third open house in the

fall will reveal the fi nal rec-ommendations for the plan. The fi nal design package will likely be presented before council early next year.

Residents as well as prop-erty and business owners have until July 28 to submit feedback on the proposeddesign plan by emailing [email protected], or calling Jillian Savage at 613-580-2424, ext. 14970.

Published weekly by:

Ottawa police are investigating the latest incident of gun-related violence in Her-ongate, after two men staged a wild-west style shootout in the streets of the south

Ottawa community in broad daylight on June 17.Such a brazen display of violence – which could

have resulted in the death of an innocent bystander – should have lit a fuse among city councillors.

But so far city hall’s collective silence has been deafening.

Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, who represents the embattled neighbourhood, was dismissive when asked if a collaborative effort among police, city offi cials, tenants and property owners might help improve neighbourhod safety.

“To do what?” said Hume in an interview earlier this month with the Ottawa South News. “To prevent two people from having an argument?”

The councillor went on to say that Herongate residents don’t have to worry about being on a street corner and having some car drive by and shoot at you.

While the recent shooting was a targeted attack according to Ottawa police, we beg to differ.

In March, police investigated a shooting near the Herongate Mall.

Only a year earlier, someone shot at a vehicle fi lled with people during an early-morning drive-by shooting.

In 2011, the city had 23 shootings; in 2012: 32 shootings, 2013: 30 shootings and year to date in 2014: 18 shootings. Eventually, a bystander will get caught in the crossfi re.

Hume’s suggestion that more “boots on the ground” are needed is a welcome one – but perhaps a more appropriate forum for that suggestion would be an open meeting, where he could speak directly to his constituents.

The number of gun crimes in south Ottawa should be a top item on city council’s radar.

If the neighbours’ consensus that things are get-ting worse is unfounded, the city and and the police should say so in an open public meeting addressing a serious community safety concern.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

Canadians think they have a pretty good sense of who they are, especially as sum-mer kicks in.

We all wear red on Canada Day, then hop into our cars and vans and head up to the lake, where we splash about, listen to the loons and behave, within reason, something like those happy folks in the beer commercials.

It’s a comforting self-image, espe-cially comforting in the endless cold winter months, when we behave like the other kind of Canadians -- buried in winter clothing as we dig the car out and try not to think about Florida.

Well, it’s sad when our notions about ourselves are challenged, but it happens. As in a short note contained in a clump of statistics in a recent Globe and Mail. According to a sur-

vey by the website travelocity.ca, 83 per cent of Canadians did not get out of town for a long weekend last year.

Really? Many questions arise, one of which concerns the fact that a mere 17 per cent of us can still clog the highways on the way to the lake. Imagine if we all did what we expect ourselves to do, namely head out of town.

Now, a whole cottage industry, as it were, has been built on the notion that Canadians are an outdoorsy peo-

ple. Sure, most of us live in cities, but we can’t wait to get out of them. We want to sit on the dock, drink beer around the campfi re, make love in a canoe, catch a big bass, have nature walks with our kids, read mystery books in hammock, tell stories about bears we almost saw.

Advertisers pitch commercials to us, celebrating that image. Newspa-pers and magazines feature lifestyle articles about cottage real estate. But something has gone wrong. Perhaps the rapidly escalating cost of cottage properties has fi nally had its effect. Perhaps it’s the cost of gasoline.

Have we, and the people who market to us, been wrong all these years? We thought the typical Canadian was wearing sandals, a checked shirt and baseball cap while

surrounded by pine trees. Now we have to contemplate the idea that the typical Canadian spends his summer weekends cowering in an apartment, wearing shoes and watching Netfl ix in the air conditioning.

But can you do that, be a city person, and feel like a real Canadian in the summertime? The consolation is that you are in good company. On any given long weekend, the great majority of the population is with you, smelling the exhaust fumes and not hearing loons.

So maybe what you should be do-ing, while the other 17 per cent frolic in the lake, is come up with a brand new Canadian mythology.

Perhaps the mythical new Cana-dian is an environmentalist who cuts greenhouse gas emissions by not driving on the weekends. Perhaps he is a nature lover who spares the birds and animals the terror of fi reworks going off in the middle of the night.

Perhaps he has a well-developed sense of style and doesn’t want to get insect repellent on his nice clothes.

I don’t know. Do we want that to be described that way? If not, we’d better hit the highway some time soon.

Canada Day often marks the offi cial start of summer in this country.

My children enthusiastically embrace the outdoors, includ-ing camping, climbing and all the outdoor sports which have time limited seasons in Canada’s short non-winter months.

With all these activi-ties come inherent risks, of course. One of the most concerning for many parents, including me, is the risk of concussion. Until recently, I wouldn’t have had a clue what concussion symptoms look like, particularly if my child suffers without losing consciousness.

This changed last month. On June 25, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario released the fi rst ever set of pediatric concussion guide-lines for doctors, parents, teachers and caregivers of children.

Developed by CHEO scientist Dr. Roger Zemek in

co-operation with the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation, the guidelines are the fi rst of their kind designed to help diagnose and treat concussion in youth.

One thing I hadn’t realized is that concussion can occur with any blow to the head, face or neck.

Symptoms include more obvious things like loss of consciousness, blurred vision and headaches. But there are also a number of not-so-obvi-ous things, such as neck pain, irritability, sensitivity to light, fatigue and sickness.

Red fl ag signs include the above, along with vomit-ing, amnesia, weakness or

tingling in arms and legs and any noticeable sharp behav-ioural changes.

One of the things Zemek stresses is to pull kids out of activities immediately if there’s even a suspicion a child has suffered concussion.

First aid should be per-formed immediately. Helmets should be left intact in case there is damage to the spinal cord.

With mounting evidence of the long term negative impact of untreated concussion on children’s development, the most important treatment recommendations are around rest.

Too often, says Zemek,

children suffer concussion but are not given the appropriate time outs they require from both intellectual and physical pursuits.

In order for the brain to heal appropriately, for example, kids need to truly rest in a low light environ-ment, including the absence of screen technology.

“The child should not exercise, go to school or do any activities that make them worse, like riding a bike, playing wrestling, working on the computer or playing video games,” state the guide-lines for parents. “If your child goes back to activities before they are completely better, they are more likely to get worse and have symptoms longer.”

One thing that I found most startling in the guide-lines is the length of time for recovery from concussion. After 15 days, 25 per cent of children are fully recovered. After 26 days, about half of kids are ready to return to

normal activity. But it can take 90 days or more for the majority of kids to feel com-pletely normal.

The comprehensive recommendations also offer a return-to-normal activity schedule for kids that have suffered concussion, varying from complete rest to limited

schooling, and then moderate (non-contact) physical activi-ties, gradually working their way back to playing sports and a full school curriculum over time.

I like my kids to take risks, within reason. I want them to play soccer, climb ropes and ride bicycles (with a helmet, of course). The CHEO

guidelines are a user-friendly manual that can help my kids – and their mom – to experi-ence these things without fear that a concussion will cause permanent developmental problems.

And if my eldest son gets his way and starts playing tackle football next year,

well, I’ll be sure to get some baseline neurological testing done – as per the recom-mendations – and pay the big bucks for the best helmet around. Or maybe I’ll just talk him into something a little less dangerous, like water polo.

For now, let the summer games begin.

Beat the Bite!

R0012516719-0703

Are mosquitoes stopping you from enjoying your time outdoors? Mosquitoes aren’t just pesky and annoying; they can also be the source of disease, such as West Nile Virus.

West Nile Virus is a potentially serious illness that is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. Research shows that four out of five people bitten by an infected mosquito do not show any symptoms. Those who do show symptoms will experience mild illness including fever, headache, body aches, nausea and/or vomiting, and occasionally a skin rash on the trunk of the body. Some individuals - particularly the elderly - may develop permanent neurological damage due to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), that can result in death.

To reduce the risks associated with West Nile Virus, Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile Virus.

Some important tips to avoid West Nile Virus: • Apply an approved mosquito repellent containing

DEET to exposed skin and clothing.

• Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin.

• Wear light colours- mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours.

• Avoid outdoor hours between dusk and dawn – periods when mosquitoes are most active.

• Make sure all windows and doors in your home have screens that are in good condition.

Mosquitoes are attracted to and breed in water. Help get rid of mosquitoes around your home by reducing areas or objects that retain standing water. Some easy ways to reduce places where mosquitoes breed include:

• Regularly empty containers that can collect water such as flower pots, pet dishes, pool covers, buckets, barrels.

• Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use.

• Regularly clean clogged eavestroughs.

• Remove unused tires that can collect water.

• Change the water in wading pools, bird baths and pet bowls twice per week.

• Cover rain barrels with screens.

• Use an aerator in garden ponds to keep surface water agitated; mosquito larvae will not survive.

• Keep swimming pools clean and properly chlorinated; remove standing water from pool covers.

• Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left outdoors so that water can drain out.

mosquito prevention and West Nile Virus, visit

Mural to Brighten Up Local UnderpassThe underpass at the Riverside Drive and Bronson

Avenue bridge is receiving a mural created with

images that reflect and depict local culture, history

or visions of artistic expression. Outdoor murals

are effective in managing graffiti, support arts and

culture, and contribute to economic development.

The underpass will feature a mural celebrating the

150th Anniversary of Canada’s Confederation in 2017

on one side, and a local artist will design and install a

community inspired mural on the opposite wall.

The artwork is expected to be completed by the

end of August, 2014.

Ottawa teacher pushes learning envelopeErin [email protected]

News - Joan Sweeney was in Grade 13 when she told her art teacher she was seriously consid-ering going to university to pur-sue her passion for designing sets and costumes for plays.

“And that’s when he said, deadpan, right to my face, ‘Don’t bother. You have no talent,’” the Hawthorne Meadows resident recalled.

Sadly, she listened to him and dropped out of school, though thankfully armed with a Grade 12 diploma.

It would be several years be-fore she followed much better ad-vice, this time from the children in a youth group at Resurrection of Our Lord Parish she had been leading, who told her she’d make a great teacher.

Sean Kelly, principal of St. Patrick’s Intermediate School at 1485 Heron Rd., where Sweeney has taught art, religion and Eng-lish to Grade 7 and 8 students for the past 14 years, said she is not just great, she is a role model for other educators.

For that reason, and many more, he nominated Sweeney for a Capital Educators’ Award.

To Sweeney’s surprise, she was among four teachers within the Ottawa Catholic School Board to win the award during the 13th EduGala, hosted by the Ottawa Network for Education at Algonquin College last month.

“It was really hard for me to accept the award because I ... ,” she said, pausing to rein in her emotions. “It makes me very emotional because I think of all the kids who don’t do well, and

that was my experience most of my life.”

After listening to the advice of the kids in her youth group, Sweeney became the fi rst person in her family to graduate from

university. The mother of three not only completed her bachelor degree, she went on to earn her teaching degree, followed by her master’s degree.

She was hired by St. Patrick’s Intermediate School fresh out of university at the age of 40.

As an artist herself, she said she has a natural inclination to think outside the box in her classroom. She also credits her students for inspiring her and directing some of the work they do.

“The kids will really drive you to think in a new way,” said Sweeney.

She is constantly adapting her teaching style to meet the needs of her students and challenge them in ways that will prepare them for the future.

“Grade 8 is pivotal,” she said of her older students. “We have a lot of skills we want them to have and try to help them have all of the advantages that they can, es-pecially because we have some kids that are very impoverished, and we want them to have access as well.”

Over the past school year, she partnered her classes with seniors at Billings Lodge for a project in which students and seniors shared their experiences about being stereotyped because of their age.

“It certainly had the kids thinking and the seniors as well,” said Sweeney’s principal.

The students then shared their sto-ries about working with seniors with students at a school in central Mexico.

“They analyzed what that (experi-ence) was like here in our community, but then compared it to the experi-ences that the students in Mexico had doing the same thing in their commu-nity,” Kelly said.

Throughout the project, Sweeney’s students worked with seniors, used technology to connect to peers in Mex-ico, and by the end of the year they and the seniors had created an artistic mu-ral that now hangs in the school.

“I walked into the classroom one time ... and there’s a group of kids from Mexico on screen talking about their experience with the seniors,” Kelly said. “It’s commonplace in her classroom that those activities are tak-ing place.”

Sweeney’s classroom is the most technologically connected in the school, and she encourages her stu-dents to bring in technology that in-terests them.

“I think a textbook would burst into fl ames if it ever came close to Joan’s classroom,” Kelly said. “She doesn’t need them.”

Sweeney also works closely with software developers who appreci-ate her feedback on what does and doesn’t work when it comes to prod-ucts engaging students.

“It kind of blows my mind in that she takes it to that level,” said Kelly.

Teachers shouldn’t be teaching kids for the skills they need today, he said.

“It’s about looking forward. The way Joan integrates technology is ex-actly what the kids need to be learning for the future,” he explained.

Sweeney said while the curriculum drives learning in the classroom, she regularly investigates new ways to en-gage students to learn, whether that’s through technology or linking with other community partners – both lo-cally and globally.

“I love this idea where you start with kind of a concept and then in-vestigate it and see if we can con-nect things to it and let the kids kind of drive where we’re going to go and then I set the curriculum,” she said.

While at an Adobe conference

for teachers south of the border, she picked up new ideas, such as creating a recording studio at the school last that led to a new beats music club that was formed last November for students.

“You start where you are. It’s just tiny; it’s not a big deal, but just get

people excited and it’s really amazing what takes off,” Sweeney said.

the next big thing she hopes to bring to her students is the gamifi cation of the classroom – bringing high-tech educational games into the school to enhance learning.

The joy of learning is a gift, said Sweeney, who dedicates her time in the classroom advocating for children who, like her, have or continue to face challenges in their lives.

Her message to them comes from the heart: “Don’t let anybody blow that little spark out, that little fl ame in you, whatever your thing is because everybody has a little thing,” she said. “Protect it.”

South Ottawa resident, 24, wins cash for life


News - Even before recently winning $1,000 a week for the rest of her life, south Ottawa resident Elysia Smith already felt like she’d hit the jackpot.

“Everybody’s been really supportive,” the 24-year-old said a week after scratching three matching Life symbols on a $4 Instant Cash for Life ticket she purchased on June 15. “The main focus is my fam-ily and friends. I love them all

and I honestly, with or without the money, wouldn’t change my life. I’ve been really grate-ful so far.”

Still, on long drives to visit her parents at their Lanark Highlands farm every Sunday, Smith often daydreamed about winning the lottery.

Now that her dream has come true, she plans to take a trip to the Bahamas and help her best friend celebrate her

upcoming birthday. Thanks to her win, Smith also plans to enroll in full-time post sec-ondary criminology studies in September 2015 in the hopes of one day becoming an offi -cer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

“I take it as a really great opportunity, and I feel really, really privileged,” she said.

Bank Street Widening Environmental AssessmentThe City’s Transportation Committee has approved the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the future Bank Street Widening Project from Leitrim Road to Rideau Road. The EA is a prerequisite for the design and construction stage of major infrastructure projects in the City of Ottawa.

The widening of Bank Street is identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP). Given the cost, size and scope of the project it is recommended to have the construction take place in a phased approach. Construction for the first phase of the project is identified in phase 2 of the TMP. This work would include the widening of Bank Street from Leitrim Road to Findlay Creek Drive including widening Leitrim Road to four lanes through the intersection at Bank Street. The work would also include paved shoulders along Bank Street north of Leitrim to Kemp Park Drive and sidewalks and cycling lanes along Leitrim Road east of Bank Street to access the Fred Barrett Arena.

I have been advocating making this project a top priority for the City, given the growth in the Leitrim and Findlay Creek communities. This is an important infrastructure project that will help support the pedestrian, transit and cycling objectives in the area. The project will help improve the connectivity in the area for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists and will offer local Leitrim and Findlay Creek residents improved infrastructure to reach destinations such as local parks, shopping areas and the Fred Barrett Arena. The project will also help alleviate some of the peak hour traffic pressures and transit delays through the Bank Street corridor. To view a complete copy of the report, please visit www.stevedesroches.ca.

Tour of Lansdowne Park I recently had the pleasure of touring Lansdowne Park and TD Place Stadium. I was amazed by the level of detail and the amount of work that has gone into the area. The newly renovated facility will allow the City of Ottawa the opportunity of attracting major events to the city. Next summer we are welcoming the athletes, spectators and media from across the country and around the world for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. It is an opportunity to showcase our beautiful capital city to the world while generating significant investment in our local economy.

The plan for the new Lansdowne includes a renovated stadium and Civic Centre, a new city park next to the Rideau Canal and a lively urban village linked to Bank Street with a mixture of stores, restaurants, residences and public spaces. The Lansdowne redevelopment project will create 18.5 acres of park and will include 880 trees. I am pleased to see this historic and important City project coming to completion.

The Perley and the Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Capital Campaign LaunchI recently had the pleasure to attend the launch of the Capital Campaign at the Perley and Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre.

It is projected that the city’s senior population will more than double by the year 2031 and the Perley and Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre plays a significant role in supporting and caring for Ottawa’s growing population of seniors. My congratulations to Capital Campaign Co-Chairs, Grete Hale and General (Ret’d) Rick Hillier for their ongoing efforts towards meeting the needs of seniors in our community.

OC Transpo Summer Schedule I would like to remind transit users that OC Transpo has moved to their summer schedule. For updated route information and schedules, please visit www.octranspo1.com.

‘Every week I live is a good week’: winnerContinued from page 15

“It’s one of those things where you just feel so grateful because you never think something like this will happen to you.”

Following her mom’s sugges-tion, Smith bought a Cash for Life ticket to put her in a Father’s Day card on June 15 at the Esso Riverside Tiger Express at 3705 Riverside Dr. She actually bought two tickets – one for her dad and the other for herself, which she left in her car and promptly for-got about until two days later on June 17.

That’s when she remembered the ticket and scratched it while

on a lunch break at the south Ot-tawa grocery store where she works as a full time manager

Smith scratched the fi rst three games without success, before uncovering three Life symbols on the fourth game, making her a winner.

“When I scratched the whole thing I looked at it and I was pret-ty sure the way it worked was if you got three of the same symbol you won that prize,” she said. “I honestly didn’t believe I won so I played the rest of the game.”

She immediately went in search of a second opinion from her best friend, who works at the same grocery store.

She suggested they check the ticket at a nearby convenience store. The clerk scanned it and

‘winner’ popped up on the lottery machine, Smith said.

“And that’s when we kind of

freaked out, actually believed that it was real,” she said.

The fi rst thing she did was call her father.

“He was driving and I told him to pull over, and I told him that I won and I was still pretty calm at this point,” she said, adding that while she was able to keep a level head, she was still shaking. “My dad just started screaming, he was so excited. He was so happy. You never heard someone so ex-cited before.”

After his cheers died down, he paused and said, ‘Young lady, you are going back to school,’ Smith said with a laugh. “He’s been try-ing to get me to go back to school for quite some time.”

Smith attended Algonquin College for one year to study pre-health sciences, before going on to begin undergraduate studies in biology at Carleton University. She stuck it out for two years before she decided she wasn’t enjoying the program as much as she should.

“I love school. It’s just school is really expensive, especially when you don’t know what you want to do,” Smith said.

She soon quit to focus on her full-time position at the grocery store.

The day after scratching the winning ticket, Smith and her mom fl ew to Toronto to pick up

the prize at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s prize centre

Since then, Smith said she has been on the receiving end of nu-merous friendly suggestions on what to do with her windfall.

“Obviously people are re-ally, really excited, because they all have suggestions or they talk about what they would like to do,” she said. “It’s honestly nice to hear what everybody else thinks.”

But she’s taking the advice of her parents and her closest friends more to heart.

“They loved me before this, so they just want what’s best for me,” said Smith. “They’ve al-ways wanted that which is why (I) value their opinion.”

For now, she plans to continue working, and have a little fun be-fore she returns to school.

“It’s great because I’m 24, so I’ve got my whole life to make the most of this, and that’s all I want to do,” Smith said of winning the lifetime weekly cash prize. “Ev-ery week I live is a good week.”

BY THE NUMBERS:

Seven: The number of multi-million-dollar jackpot Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max wins in the Ottawa area within the past three years.

Six: The number of wins of more than $50,000 in the Ottawa area within the past two months, which includes Smith’s prize.

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse

The definition of child abuse encompasses far more than physical violence. Sexual and emotional abuse, along with neglect, abandonment and the incapacity of parents to provide basic care (sometimes as a result of poverty or addiction) are other common forms of child abuse. It is not always easy to identify victims as they do not all exhibit the classic warning signs. Research shows that abuse and neglect can lead to serious emotional harm. Fortunately, it is possible for you to make a difference in a child’s life by learning the subtle signs of abuse. The earlier we can provide relief to these families, the greater the chance that the children can overcome these hardships.

If you have any suspicions that a child is being abused or neglected, get help. Even though the idea of making a report with the Children’s Aid Society can seem very “official” - and therefore intimidating - it is important to demystify these beliefs in order to provide help in a time-efficient manner. People often feel reluctant to get involved in other families’ personal lives, but it is imperative that we understand our duty to ensure each person’s safety in our community.

One of the biggest fears about reporting abuse or neglect is that we will inadvertently break up a family. As a child welfare organization, our priority is the child’s safety. Nevertheless, current data shows that 90% of children remain in their parents’ care; removal is a last-resort decision, and only occurs in cases where the child is in immediate danger.

Secondly, some worry about their identity being revealed to the family. Reports can be made anonymously. When reporting a suspicion, provide as much information as possible to assist in the assessment.

Even though it may feel like your report will not make a difference, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Every individual’s contribution can have an impact.

While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse or neglect turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action.

Ottawa Valley Berry Guide

BERRY TIPSIt is recommended that the berries are placed in the coolest spot in your car for your journey home. It is actually best for the berries to go straight home and be placed in a fridge or very cool spot. If you are making jam or freezing the berries - the sooner the better. Pick you berry farms use lots of clean straw between rows of plants to keep berries and pickers clean and dry.

Bring along a camera to capture special moments. Most farms have picnic tables, so a snack or lunch is a great way to celebrate a "job" well done.

Most Important Tip:Fresh air, lovely red strawberries, beautiful country setting, and happy pickers... it all adds up to a very pleasant summer outing.

Scrumptuous Strawberry Jam1 quart strawberries4 cups granulated sugar1 pouch Certo liquid fruit pectin2 tbsp. lemon juiceMakes 5 cups

News - A Nepean stu-dent is angling to be named the country’s most beautiful teen.

Karina Wang, who attends Asbury College, was named Miss Teenage Ottawa in Jan-uary.

Since being crowned in

the capital, Wang, 14, has ap-peared at the Tulip Festival and Epilepsy Day. She also competed in the provincial competition – earning the third spot and making her el-igible to compete in the Miss Teenage Canada competition to be held July 13 to 19 in Toronto.

Wang previously com-peted in pageants in the U.S.

because her family has a home in Florida, but said she wanted to participate north of the border because that’s where her home is.

“It really helps build your confi dence,” Wang said of competitions. “It’s really a lot more than just looking pretty.”

In addition to essay ques-tions, Miss Teenage Canada

hopefuls have to maintain social-media platforms and raise money for the charity Free the Children.

The participant who raises the most money would fast track to the contest’s top 20 spots and has a chance to go on a Free the Children mission trip.

Each girl also raises aware-ness through her social-media platform for a cause that is

special to them.In Wang’s case she wants

people to adopt animals from shelters rather than buying from stores.

“I really think the work the Ottawa Humane Society does is great,” she said. “We got our dog there.”

Wang said her participa-tion in pageants has helped to increase her social skills.

“When most people think about pageants, they think about (TV series) Toddlers and Tiaras. It’s not what you see on television,” she said, adding a lot of people are surprised she competes.

“I don’t seem like the type of person they’d associate with it,” she said. “But it mo-tivates me to get involved in my community.”

This year’s Miss Teenage Canada will be named on July 26. To learn more about Karina, visit her Facebook page Miss Teenage Ottawa 2014.

News - Two people have been charged after police busted a grow operation in Bridlewood where more than $1 million worth of mar-ijuana was seized on June 17.

Police executed warrants for two locations, one in the 100 block of Speers Crescent, the other in the 2900 block of Richmond Road.

A 46-year-old man was charged with production and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of traffi cking and theft of electric-ity worth more than $5,000. The man was caught leaving the Speers Crescent residence as a police tacti-cal unit searched the premises, said McDonell.

A 35-year-old woman was also charged jointly with the man for possession of proceeds of crime worth more than $5,000.

The main marijuana grow opera-tion was at the Bridlewood location, with 957 marijuana plants seized along with 4,971 grams of dried marijuana. Together, they are val-ued at $1,006,710.

Three vehicles were also seized, one from the Richmond Road lo-cation along with documentary evidence, said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell with the Ottawa police drug unit.

A 2013 BMW and a 2006 Toyota minivan were seized as offence-re-lated property, while a 2011 BMW X6 was seized as proceeds of crime.

McDonell described the grow operation as “substantial,” saying

he normally would expect a mari-juana grow op to have 300 to 400 plants.

While the majority of the plants would usually be found in a base-ment, this grow op had plants grow-ing on all three fl oors of the house, he said.

“For us, it’s a very good day,” said McDonell about the results of the bust.

“You take a million dollars, you take three vehicles out of it, it does make a bit of a dent, so we are very happy with the results of (the inves-tigation),” he said.

Officers had been looking into the two locations over the course of several weeks, said McDonell, conducting surveillance and col-lecting enough evidence to get a warrant.

Though McDonell could not speak specifi cally to this investiga-tion, he said police look for the tell-tale signs of a marijuana grow oper-ation. That includes large amounts of condensation on windows, excess heat, someone coming and going at regular intervals with little to no other signs of occupancy, and wa-ter discharge from the overhang of a building’s roof.

“Your average residential house isn’t made to be turned into a green house, which is basically is what they do,” said McDonell.

This results in a dangerous en-vironment, as the house is usually rewired to provide more heat and light.

“(Grow op houses) do pose a fi re hazard,” said McDonell, as the re-wiring is not always done safely.

There were no problems during the execution of either warrants, he said. “There is always an element of danger present … the tactical guys are very good at what they do and (the warrants) were safely executed. There were no injuries,” said Mc-Donell.

The locations were both rendered safe by hydro workers after tactical units searched the premises.

Both persons charged were re-leased on a promise to appear.

News - A 34-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with four counts of robbery after a two-day bank theft spree ended with the help of the public and media.

The man was arrested by plainclothes Otta-wa police offi cers while on a street the morn-ing of June 25, said robbery unit Staff Sgt.

Michael Haarbosch. Haarbosch said he would not release the lo-

cation where he was arrested, or exactly what it was that led to locating the man, but said the help of the public and media were key.

“(Media and public assistance) directly led to the quick arrest,” said Haarbosch.

The 34-year-old man was charged in rela-tion to four bank robberies, two of which oc-curred on June 23, and two on June 24.

Both days, the bank robberies occurred in banks very close to each other, and within a time span of a few hours.

“That’s not something we see very often,” said Haarbosch.

The June 23 robberies took place in banks in the 1400 block of Richmond Rd, while the June 24 robberies occurred in the 400 and 500 blocks of Hazeldean Rd. All four robber-ies unfolded in the same way, say police.

Each time, a suspect, described as a 1.8 metre tall white man with a thin build wear-ing a bright orange, construction-style jacket, provided a note to a bank teller demanding money, says an Ottawa police news release.

The suspect then fl ed the premises with a quantity of cash.

Police would not disclose the amounts taken, but said a small quantity of cash was recovered from the 34-year-old upon arrest.

Haarbosch noted that, while no weapon was seen, the man who committed the rob-beries “insinuated a weapon was present.”

Whether or not a weapon is present is irrel-evant to police, said Haarbosch, as a suspect is treated as potentially armed nonetheless.

The only signifi cant difference it makes is moving forward with the charges after they are laid as far as potential sentencing goes,” he said.

Haarbosch called the arrest “a great result for all the units that were involved.

“Given the way these unfolded, two rob-beries in two consecutive days, we can expect that they would have continued had an arrest not been made,” he said.

“We feel that in all likelihood we prevented additional robberies from occurring as well as a result of the arrest,” said Haarbosch.

He added that the help of the public and the media in distributing information and photos, and helping to identify the suspect was “in-credibly useful,” saying that assistance from both groups “directly led to the quick arrest.”

Police ask that anyone with informa-tion with respect to these robberies or others contact the robbery unit at 613-236-1222 ext.5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

News - A proposed multi-use pathway alongside the Glebe fi re station drew criticism at a meeting where residents got a look at plans for a cycling net-

work for the neighbourhood.The path is the biggest-tick-

et item and city staff said it’s the best way to complete the north-south cycling facility on O’Connor Street, which will stretch from Parliament Hill to Lansdowne Park. The section

of path in question would divert cyclists off the one-block stub of O’Connor just before Lansd-owne. It’s a one-way northbound street and there isn’t enough room to put bi-directional bike lanes on the street to let cyclists move north and southbound from Lansdowne.

But the path would connect with an existing recreational pathway in Sylvia Holden Park, which would result in cyclists

zooming through the middle of the park with children cross-ing and playing all around, said Glebe residents.

“You’re going to have kids running around pell-mell with cyclists biking through,” said Elizabeth Ballard, who pleaded with staff and Capital Coun. David Chernushenko to come up with a better solution.

A better solution would be to remove the sidewalk along that one-block section of O’Connor and make it into a multi-use path along the road with bol-lards separating it from the park, she said.

Megan Dewar, a parent who lives on that block of O’Connor, was also concerned. She said she’d prefer to see a bi-direc-tional bike lane on the street, which would turn the corner and continue to a bidirectional lane proposed for Holmwood Avenue, which is also a one-way street. Parking would have to be moved to the opposite side of the street, Dewar said.

“The existing pathway is a route around the park,” Dewar said, adding that it’s use by small children on tricycles who do circuits around the path.

Other than the pathway pro-posal, most residents at a June 25 information said the plans looked fi ne. The only other downside mentioned by Glebe residents was the proliferation of “sharrows” rather than lines painted to delineate a bike lane. Sharrows are bike and arrow markings indicating cyclists and vehicles should share the space.

Heidi Cousineau, the city planner in charge of the Glebe bike network project, said there simply isn’t enough space in many areas for a dedicated bike lane, which must be 1.5 metres wide according to the provincial

Highway Traffi c Act.Reducing the need to elimi-

nate on-street parking spaces was also a concern, especially since there will be a traffi c and parking monitoring pro-gram in place once Lansdowne Park opens later this month, Cousineau said.

However, the cycling net-work would eliminate fi ve parking spaces on Fifth Avenue between Murial and Gordon. Barbara Riley, a Glebe resident who uses her bike to get around, said the city needs to launch a public education campaign to explain to cyclists and motor-ists how sharrows are supposed to be used. In some cases, Ri-ley said she thinks cyclists and motorists are supposed to pro-ceed single-fi le where there are sharrow markings, but on other streets, it seems that bicycles and vehicles can proceed side-by-side.

Several residents said they hoped the city would reduce the speed limit on streets that have bike lanes. The current limit on most residential streets in the Glebe is 40 km/h. Cousineau

said speed-limit reductions aren’t being considered.

Dewar said the new cycling lanes and markings will im-prove cyclists’ ability to get around the Glebe, but the lanes stop at Bronson Avenue.

“That’s a terrifying street to bike on,” Dewar said. “The city has a bad habit of not connect-ing bike lanes to each other.”

The total budget for the project is $600,000. Work will start this summer and it doesn’t require any additional approval from the city’s trans-portation committee. Up fi rst will be projects that help fa-cilitate access to Lansdowne Park, Cousineau said. Facili-ties on Fifth Avenue will be completed along with ongoing work to signalize the intersec-tion at Queen Elizabeth Drive, Cousineau said.

Further discussion will be needed to fi gure out a way to better align Percy and Craig streets at Fifth Avenue. The full plans can be viewed on ottawa.ca by search-ing for “Glebe neighbourhood cycling plan.”

News - Why walk or run when you can rappel off a 14-storey building to help raise money for charity?

That is the question that the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario asked itself when it was trying to come up with a new fundraising initia-tive.

“Everyone is doing runs and walks for charity,” said director Mike Wlotzki.

Having rappelled off a building in Toronto for char-ity, Wlotzki fi gured why not try it in Ottawa.

And so the fi rst Rope for Hope arrived in Ottawa and asked people to rappel off the 14-storey Courtyard by Mar-riott Hotel in Overbrook on June 28.

In total, the foundation had 50 eager participants who had to raise at least $1,500 to drop off the side of the building, and although many of these participants began to feel less eager as their turn came clos-er, they overcame their fears

to help out a worthy cause. St. Pius X High School

raised $1,650 to have one of their teachers take up the chal-lenge. Although she’s afraid of heights, teacher Michelle Gauthier said she was braving it for the greater good.

“It’s important,” Gauthier said. “We had a student whose brother was sick and who had a wish come true through Make-A-Wish. That made the school realize how special the foundation is. So you can’t say no.”

Down on the ground, Dave Newby of Promomedia was happy to have two feet planted fi rmly on the ground again following his descent.

“Oh my gosh, it was ex-hilarating, frightening and ter-rifying – but satisfying at the end,” Newby said.

Tanya Desjardins, chief op-erating offi cer of the founda-tion, said this event is some-thing the organization is look-ing at expanding and making it an annual event, with the exception of possibly chang-ing the weekend it takes place, as the weekend before Canada

Day had some participants opt out because they were going away, but if it’s OK with the hotel, the foundation would love to keep the loca-tion.

“It’s perfect, there is a lot of room and the hotel has been great,” Desjardins said.

Wlotzki agreed, saying that when he approached the hotel, it didn’t take much convincing for the company to say yes.

“It’s for a good cause,” as-sistant general manager Gilles Lebrun said.

Although the hotel has nev-er had people rappelling off the side of their building be-fore, Lebrun added it was cool to see the participants brave the height.

As part of the proof that Newby and others made it from top to bottom, each par-ticipant had their photo taken with a sign reading “I did it.”

And for those who were feeling less brave, but proud supporters of friends and fam-ily, there was plenty to do in-cluding a rock climbing wall, food, music and a bouncy castle.

Community - It’s taken six years and hundreds of hours of work, but wood-working hobbyist Luc Ren-aud was happy to present the Lanark Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps with his model of their namesake ship on June 6.

The more than two-metre long model of the HMCS Lanark includes approximately 2,500 individual piec-es, said the Kanata resident, though he admits he eventually stopped count-ing. “It was a ridiculous number,” he said.

Taking six years and 789 hours to make, Renaud said the ship is the big-gest model he’s ever made, and the lon-gest project he’s had. But it was worth it for Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps 211 which helped to mold his two sons into fi ne young men, he said.

“To say thank you, I decided to build (the corps’) own ship,” said Re-naud.

The corps had known about his project, and were happy to see the fi -nal product at its ceremonial parade on June 6.

“It’s an honour (to receive the ship),” said the corps’ commanding offi cer, Daniel Denief.

“The quality of workmanship and the time put into it is phenomenal.”

Every sea cadet corps in Canada is named after a particular ship, said De-nief. He described the model as a link to the past, and a way for cadets to see a bit of their history.

“They can look at it and say, ‘Hey, this is where we came from,’” he said.

Now, the ship rests permanently mounted at the corps’ headquarters at 137 John St. where people can see it

every Thursday night between 6 and 9 p.m. during the corps’ bingo night. The weekly event is the corps’ most important fundraiser, allowing them to continue operating.

Those at the fi rst bingo night after the ship was put in place were amazed, said Denief.

GETTING STARTED

Renaud has been working with

wood since the age of eight when his parents gave him his fi rst wood tool kit as a Christmas gift.

Renaud started constructing bird houses and play sets for his G.I. Joe toys.

“My father showed me how to use the tools properly without los-ing a fi nger or something else,” he said.

Renaud’s passion for woodworking slowed when he met his wife, but was

rekindled with the birth of his sons as he built things for them.

That evolved into creating elaborate Halloween decorations with his sons, including an elec-tric chair, a life-sized coffin and a guillotine.

But after his sons went through the sea cadet program, Renaud wanted to say thank you.

From research on the ship, Ren-aud learned the HMCS Lanark was launched in 1943, taking part in the Battle of the Atlantic. The ship had a long life, and was sold and then repurchased by the Royal Canadian Navy, before it was fi nally decom-missioned in 1965.

Renaud chose to model the fi rst version of the ship, working in details as small as a pair of binoculars on the upper deck, the ship’s bell and depth charges.

“I could have kept on going … but they would have never seen the ship,” said Renaud.

Asked how it felt to surrender his project, he said, “I felt proud to give it to the corps because they’ve done so much good with our kids.

“I felt good because I was giving something back. They gave so much to my kids and my kids turned out great.”

News - Hajeb, an 11-year-old who was housed through Habitat for Humanity-National Capital Region, said if she won the lottery tomorrow she would give all of her money to the charity.

“I wouldn’t keep a penny, I would give it all to the volun-teers,” she said. “I think it’s so great that these people helped build our home when they could have been home with their families.”

Hajeb spoke during an an-

nual general meeting hosted by Habitat at the Nepean ReStore location on June 17.

“We now have a house that’s big enough for me and my brother,” Hajeb said. “We can invite guests over now.”

As part of the annual gen-eral meeting, newly-minted CEO Alexis Ashworth went over some of the milestones from 2013 and plans for the future.

Volunteers took on their fi rst, barrier-free bungalow in Ottawa in 2013. Before Habitat volunteers Salva-dor and Margarita Caceres

would have to carry their eight-year-old daughter Amanda into the house be-cause it wasn’t wheelchair accessible. Their new house on Nantes Street in Orléans was designed with their spe-cifi c needs in mind.

Last year was another a se-ries of fi rsts that included the fi rst urban aboriginal build. Ida Kakekagumick applied for a home for her and her three grandchildren.

The city’s fi rst Renew It project is a better living en-vironment for a group of 10 seniors called Abbeyfi eld. It’s

small-scale care facility with private rooms, meals and sup-port for its clients. The facil-ity provided limited access to the outdoors. Through the repair and renovation done by Habitat volunteers, the Renew It project created a respite for residents, enabling them to en-joy the outdoors with the addi-tion of a modest deck.

Ashworth said the organi-zation is currently working on four builds in Orléans for 2014 and plans on another six

builds for 2015. “We couldn’t do it without

the strong staff and volunteers we have,” she said.

There were 345 volunteers that provided 11,690 hours in 2013 according to the board’s annual report. Fifty-seven vol-unteers at both ReStore loca-tion worked more than 5, 253 hours. Volunteers also spent countless fours organizing events and serving on commit-tees.

Last year’s Steels and Sti-lettos Gala sold out, garnering $85,000 for the charity. An-other inaugural event, called the Zombie Run for Habitat,

hosted at the Nepean Nation Equestrian Park last October, raised $6,500. Both events are happening again this year. The run will be on Oct. 4 and the gala on Oct. 18.

Ashworth said Habitat has come a long way from the fi rst build on Monique Street in 1994, but there’s still a long way to go.

“As long as there are still mothers sleeping in bathtubs we have work to do,” she said. ‘As long as there are children afraid to go outside or who are having trouble breathing be-cause of mold we have work to do.”

Arts - Mooney’s Bay teen Taylor Angus will sing the set of her career at Bluefest this week-end.

Angus is one of 10 national fi nalists chosen to compete in the festival’s She’s The One con-test for emerging female artists on July 5. Ten teenagers from the across the country will sing their hearts out to win a recording session in Los Angeles during a live competition at the Canadian War Museum.

Fifteen-year-old Angus is a self-taught singer, songwriter and musician with an in-die-pop sound she describes as similar to New Zealand’s Lorde.

Along with her pop-star pipes, Angus has taught herself to play a host of instruments, in-cluding guitar, drums, mandolin, violin, harp, autoharp, piano, ukulele and dulcimer.

She admits she’s not very good at read-ing music – most of her songs are written by ear. Her gift for music is more than apparent on her YouTube channel. She’s been singing for as long as she can remember, and began performing at the age of seven. The home-schooled student said she’s pretty quiet and shy in person, but on stage a whole new per-sona appears.

“I’m very quiet when I talk but when I per-form I just get a lot of personality,” she said.

This is the contest’s fourth year, and it’s been tweaked a bit in honour of Bluesfest’s 20th an-niversary, according to community program

co-ordinator Ana Miura. Previous years have focused on female artists of any age, but this year the fi eld has been narrowed to young sing-ers aged 13 to 19.

And the grand prize has been upgraded: the winner will bag a $50,000 trip to Los Angeles to work with music producer Bar-rett Yeretsian. Yerestsian is best known for his work on Christina Perri’s single Jar of Hearts, which has garnered more than 110 million views on Youtube since its release in 2010.

The trip for two also includes a celebrity makeover and photo shoot, a recording session with Yeretsian and a music video shoot.

“Essentially it’s a career building oppor-tunity for a young singer,” Miura said. “It’s a whirlwind trip and a huge opportunity for some young female Canadian.”

“That would mean everything to me,” said the young singer.

Although it’s billed as a national contest, this year’s fi eld includes four local contend-ers out of the 10 fi nalists. Along with Angus, Greely resident Stephanie La Rochelle will offer her Broadway vocals and Kanata jazz singer Angelique Francis will bring her eclec-tic style. The fourth Ottawa native is Justice Tremblay.

Along with the four Ottawa singers, the na-tion-wide contest also includes contestants from all corners of the country – stretching from Corner Brook, Newfoundland to Vernon, British Columbia.

“I think it’s going to be really cool to see everyone,” La Rochelle said. “It’s an emerging artist contest, so everyone is different. I’m ex-cited to see what everyone else brings.”

The contest will take place July 5 between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Barney Danson Theatre inside the Canadian War Museum.

News - Parental involvement was essential in passing the public board’s $859-million budget for the 2014-15 school year, said trustee Pam Fitzgerald.

The budget was approved at the last board meeting before the sum-mer on June 23.

Fitzgerald, who represents the zone that corresponds to the mu-nicipal College Ward, is the chair of the budget committee.

“The budget committee, with the assistance of an involved parent community worked cohesively with staff to create a budget that supports the diverse student population,” she said in a press release. “Throughout the process we have been mindful to keep students as our top priority.”

The budget adds to the board’s special education spending, with the creation of new autism classes the elementary and secondary lev-els. The board also added to their transportation budget to allow for more high school students to be bussed.

More English as a Second Lan-guage, teachers, coaches, education assistants, vice-principals and cus-todial staff will be hired in Septem-ber and funds will be directed for the fi nal phase of the province’s plan to implement full-day kinder-garten in every school.

Jennifer Adams, the board’s di-rector of education, said every new budget brings challenges and op-

portunities. “It is our responsibility as staff to

develop a strategic, forward-think-ing, student focused fi nancial docu-ment that will allow us as a district to provide the fi nest quality of edu-cation for all our students.”

CHILD CARE

A board-wide policy for child care in schools was also approved during the June 23 meeting.

Barrhaven trustee Donna Black-burn said she initially brought the issue up to staff when parents were complaining about inequities between daycare costs and rules at Mary Honeywell Elementary School and Barrhaven Public.

“Parents were calling me because the fees at Mary Honeywell were so much higher and they didn’t have the option for choosing only morn-ing or afternoon care,” Blackburn said. “I couldn’t look them in the eye and tell them if they didn’t go to a certain school they would be out of luck.”

The board’s new policy attempts to encourage third-party child care providers to work with board to provide services in areas that have need and where there is space in schools.

Trustee Jennifer McKenzie in-cluded an amendment to the overall motion that would ensure the board encourages the city and the prov-ince to ensure a fair allocation of subsidies to communities according to socio-economic need.

Public board approves $860-million budget

Sports - Allegations of drinking and sexual miscon-duct stemming from a Febru-ary incident in Thunder Bay have sidelined the Univer-sity of Ottawa’s varsity men’s hockey program for the com-ing year.

University president Allan Rock made the announce-ment at a media conference on June 25, where he revealed the results of an internal re-view of the school’s sports teams, but not the fi ndings of an independent investigation aimed at discovering what exactly occurred in Thunder Bay.

In addition to the cancella-tion of the 2014-15 season for the men’s hockey team, Rock announced that the program’s head coach has been “relieved of his duties,”

The coach, Rock said, was not involved in the al-leged activities that spawned the investigation, though he failed to report them to the university. Rock said, how-ever, that the coach had at-tempted to discipline the of-

fending player or players on his own.

An investigation by the Thunder Bay police has re-cently wrapped up, though no announcement has been made as to what it discov-ered, or whether any charges will be laid. The university’s own inquiry, conducted by independent investigator Ste-ven Gaon, revealed the need for further suspension of the team, yet no details were re-vealed by Rock during the conference.

“We now have Gaon’s fi ndings, but they will not be made public,” said Rock. “We want to avoid any in-terference with the ongoing police investigation, and re-spect the university’s privacy obligations. I can tell you that Gaon’s fi ndings revealed that the behaviour of some individuals in Thunder Bay on the weekend in question was unacceptable. Their be-haviour did not meet the uni-versity’s expectations of our student athletes and was not in keeping with the univer-sity community’s values.”

Rock said the university will immediately implement

all of the recommendations made by the two external ex-perts brought on to audit how

the school manages its sports programming, adding that many will be in place by fall

of this year.The report and recommen-

dations compiled by Dr. Lorne

Adams and Manon Vaillan-court affect all 11 varsity sports teams and 19 competi-tive teams, and focus on stu-dent and staff behaviour and responsibilities.

For student athletes, they request an updating of the university’s sports services policies into a written and electronic handbook detailing the school’s expectation of behaviour and responsibilities in regard to alcohol and drug use, harassment and discrimi-nation, hazing, and travel and social media.

Annual mandatory varsity and competitive club student orientation sessions would see staff and coaches review the behavioural guidelines prior to the start of their com-petitive seasons. As well, all student athletes would have to sign off on their under-standing of what’s expected of them in terms of their be-haviour and the new guide-lines.

Coaches would see their handbooks updates with new operational policies as well as new guidelines for player be-haviour, and would attend fall seminars with other coaches in order to better understand the policies.

Like the students, the coaches would also have to sign off on their knowledge and understanding of the new policies.

See NO CHARGES, page 39

University of Ottawa president Allan Rock speaks to members of the media on June 25 at Tabaret Hall. Rock detailed a list of measures that have been, or will be taken in the wake of allegations that arose during a varsity men’s hockey trip to Thunder Bay in February.

The university’s sports services department would create an ethics and disci-pline committee to review incidents relating to mis-conduct and violations of behavioural guidelines.

Annual reviews of all policies, practices and pro-cedures relating to student athlete behaviour will also be required.

Asked whether he might be “jumping the gun” by enacting sweeping changes and lengthening the sus-pension before the police reveal their fi ndings, Rock said he didn’t believe so.

“There are two dimen-sions to this,” he said, stat-ing the police have an inves-tigation to run and he had a university to run. “We’re looking after things that fall within our responsibilities.”

Rock was careful not to implicate the entire team in the controversy, which

certainly doesn’t involve all members. He admitted the suspension of the en-tire team unjustly punished those who weren’t involved in the alleged incidents.

“I am very much aware that for those members of our hockey team who were not in Thunder Bay or who were present but took no part in the alleged events, this has been an especially diffi cult time,” said Rock.

“The shadow cast by the allegations of misconduct has affected all members of the team, some unfairly. At same time, I’m going to ask for understanding of the diffi cult position in which university fi nds itself. We cannot name names, for fear of doing greater injus-tice or running afoul of the law ourselves. We can only wait, as we all must wait, for the police investigation to run its course, hoping that when it concludes, it will add greater clarity.”

No charges laid yet by Thunder Bay police

Tasty fruit roll-ups make great snack or dessert

Lifestyle - This simple roll-up incorporates the goodness of the garden.

Only you will know how easy it is to make. The dough thaws in fridge overnight.

It’s a great snack, lunch box treat or birthday party staple.

Use fresh or frozen blueber-ries, but don’t defrost them.

Squeeze any extra liquid from shredded apples to pre-vent the roll-up from becom-ing soggy.

Preparation time: 20 min-utes. Baking time: 25 minutes. Serves 12.

INGREDIENTS

• 125 g (4 oz) cream cheese,

softened

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) each cinnamon and

honey

• 5 ml (1 tsp) grated lemon rind

• 500 g (1 lb) frozen whole wheat

pizza dough, thawed

• 500 ml (2 cups) shredded apples,

squeezed dry

• 500 ml (2 cups) shredded zuc-

chini, squeezed dry

• 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries

Topping

• 50 ml (1/4 cup) honey

PREPARATION

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cinnamon, honey and lemon rind until smooth and then set aside.

On a lightly fl oured sur-face, roll out the pizza dough to a fi ve-millimetre (1/4-inch) thick rectangle measuring

about 35 by 30 centimetres (14 by 12 inches).

Spread the cream cheese mixture on the dough.

Top evenly with the apples, zucchini and blueberries. Starting at a long side, roll up the dough, pressing fi rmly so it is snug around the fi lling and gently smoothing it to an even thickness.

Cut the roll into 12 pieces. Place the pieces, cut side down, in a buttered 3.5 litre (13 by 9-inch) baking pan. Bake in a 230 C (450 F) oven for 25 minutes or until the pieces are golden brown.

Topping: Drizzle with hon-ey while hot and serve imme-diately.

Additional non-stop flights and itineraries added

HAMILTON – June 2014 – Celebrity Cruises has announced the launch of its 2015 All Included Caribbean cruise vacations. Four new Canadian departure cities have been added as a response to the resounding success of the 2014 All Included packages that departed from Hamilton and Ottawa. Non-stop vacations from London, Quebec City, Moncton and Halifax scheduled to set sail weekly from February 7 to April 12 will be available for 2015.

Celebrity has also expanded guests’ options from the Saturday departure introduced in 2014 from Hamilton and Ottawa by adding a second departure on Sunday with an alternative itinerary.

“Canadians have long been big fans of inclusive travel and non-stop flights,” said Ken Brooks, Director of Sales, Celebrity Cruises Canada. “Celebrity is groundbreaking in bringing the enjoyment of all-included cruising and non-stop flights from exclusive departure cities across the country.

Flights depart from Halifax, Hamilton and Ottawa on Saturdays with sailings aboard Celebrity Reflection® . Guests have the choice of a breathtaking Eastern Caribbean cruise or Western Caribbean cruise, which is offered on February 28, March 14 and 28.

Sunday departures from Moncton, London, Quebec City, Hamilton and Ottawa sail aboard the Celebrity Silhouette® and enjoy the option of an Eastern or Western Caribbean cruise with itineraries offered on alternate weeks.

Vacationers can indulge in the modern luxury experience for which Celebrity is known, complete with non-stop flights, a complimentary ground transfer, unlimited drinks, covered gratuities and an unforgettable seven-night cruise on either the stunning Celebrity Silhouette® or Celebrity Reflection® – the newest members of Celebrity’s award-winning Solstice Class fleet.

Guests sailing through the Eastern Caribbean will enjoy the sunshine and sunsets of St. Thomas (or St. Kitts), St. Maarten and San Juan and those sailing through the Western Caribbean will experience the unforgettable waters of Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Labadee® .

Partner Canadian North provides non-stop flights to Florida departing from local airports, an option which was not available to our guests until last year. Flights are complete with free hot meals, cocktails, headsets and up to two checked bags. Canadian North received rave reviews from passengers on the Winter 2014 All Included vacations. Eighty-seven percent of customers surveyed highly rated the service aboard Canadian North…a perfect fit with the Celebrity Cruises modern luxury experience.

“In response to demand from our guests, we’re thrilled to expand our line of one-of-a-kind, All Included vacations in Canada to Celebrity Cruises, from exclusive departure cities,” said Brooks, “Vacationers in Canada appreciate value and enjoy the convenience of paying one price for their vacation. We are proud to be offering more Canadians what they’ve been asking for – easy to book All Included Cruise Vacations.”

Celebrity’s “All Included” packages start from $1,999* per person based on double occupancy in a veranda stateroom on the Celebrity Silhouette® and include:

City, Moncton or Halifax to Miami, Florida.

Guests can take advantage of this offer from Celebrity Cruises, by calling their travel agent or contacting Celebrity at 1-888-776-1155.

About Celebrity Cruises:

Celebrity Cruises’ iconic “X” is the mark of modern luxury, with its cool, contemporary design and warm spaces; dining experiences where the design of the venues is as important as the cuisine; and the amazing service that only Celebrity can provide, all created to provide an unmatchable experience for vacationers’ precious time.

News - Liberal MPPs in “team Ottawa” kept their cabinet roles in a recent shuffl e at Queen’s Park, with Ottawa Centre’s Ya-sir Naqvi adding responsibilities as house leader.

Naqvi also keeps his recent appoint-ment as minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, a post to which Premier Kathleen Wynne named him in March. Naqvi previously served as min-ister of Labour.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chi-arelli keeps over the high-profi le energy portfolio.

Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meil-leur will continue as attorney general, an appointment she received in March. She also continues her role as minister for Francophone Affairs.

Two other Ottawa Liberal MPPs – new-ly elected Ottawa-Orleans MPP Marie-

France Lalonde and John Fraser, who was elected in last year’s byelection – were not added to the cabinet.

The size of Wynne’s cabinet didn’t change after the election, with 27 Liberal MPPs serving in the cabinet.

Ted McMeekin, an MPP from Hamil-ton, is now the minister of Municipal Af-fairs and Housing. A renamed Ministery of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure will be headed by Brad Duguid. Jeff Leal adds the Ministry of Ag-riculture and Food to his portfolio, which already included Rural Affairs.

Deb Matthews has been promoted to lead the Treasury Board, in addition to continuing as deputy leader of the party. Her previous post as Health minister went to Dr. Eric Hoskins, who helped found War Child Canada and held cabinet posi-tions previously.

With fi les from Metro News.

News - Telus says it’s working with the city and community members to look for a new location for a proposed cell tower in Manotick’s South Pointe area.

After a push from Os-goode Coun. Doug Thomp-son, on June 25 city council voted to refuse to agree to the tower’s proposed loca-tion.

Telus has asked Indus-try Canada for permis-sion to build an antenna at 1071 Dozois Rd. in South Pointe Manotick. But the site is off of Mitch Ow-ens Road and adjacent to St. Mark High School and the Manotick Montessori School.

Approval would come from the federal industry ministry, but the views of the municipal government are taken into consider-ation.

Residents have ex-pressed concern about the

safety of a communications tower being placed close to the schools, but Emma Miller, a spokesperson for Telus, said the signals emitted from the proposed tower would match the type of signal from an FM radio tower.

“The power levels are low,” Miller said, adding the levels are below the safety code standards set out by the federal health and industry ministries.

Miller said the tower is needed in order to meet demand for wireless ser-vice in the area. It must be located in a one- to two-ki-lometre distance from the residents and businesses it is intended to serve.

“We are open to other sites that meet our criteria and objectives,” she said.

Miller said the company was taking suggestions on alternate locations until June 13, but received none.

Telus doesn’t own the land at 1071 Dozois Rd. and plans to lease the cho-sen site.

News - West-Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry says a recent watermain break in Carp proves the city needs a better protocol for issuing boil-water advisories – especially in rural areas with shared wells.

No one was sickened in the incident, which involved a construction crew damaging a main that was repaired within hours. But El-Chantiry said many residents were fearful and concerned when city offi cials turned up at their doors hours after the water had been turned back on to order them to boil tap water before using it.

The water main broke at around 10 a.m. on June 23. El-Chantiry said he received an email at 12:20 p.m. letting him know the pipe was fi xed and water had been restored to the 180 homes who use the communal well.

It wasn’t until 4:29 p.m. that Ottawa Public Health issues a precautionary boil-water advi-

sory, which remained in effect until around 1:20 p.m. the next day.

El-Chantiry said there is no harm in putting a precautionary boil-water advisory in place be-fore turning the water back on. It’s much more problematic if it occurs the other way around, he said.

“You live there. You’ve been there all day at home. You turn the water on at 10 a.m. and there is nothing ... Twenty after 12 the water comes back on – OK, everything is normal,” El-Chan-tiry said. “And then at fi ve o’clock I knock on your door and say, ‘By the way, we have this cautionary boil-water advisory.’ You’d say, ‘Re-ally? Where were you all day, buddy?’”

The councillor submitted an inquiry to staff during the June 24 city council meeting to ask about the “gap in procedure” that led the water to be turned on before the boil-water advisory was issued.

When there is an issue or pressure is lost in a communal well system, which can happen due to a pipe breaking, the city is obligated to test the water. The city’s policies should recognize that difference between communal wells and the city’s water system, he said.

Carp boil water advisory issued more than four hours after pipes fi xed
