Manotick library to receive upgrades kmccarthy@metroland.com

Manotick’s library is being brought into the 21st century.

Between Tuesday, July 26 and Monday, Aug. 1, the Manotick branch of the Ottawa Public Library will be closed for improvements: including the introduction of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.

According to a release from the library, RFID is a technology that creates a more efficient check-in system, allowing books to be

automatically checked in when returned to the book drop.

RFID also allows patrons to self-checkout multiple items at a time, without using the resources of library staff. This allows library staff to spend more time assisting clients with other matters.

Several of the Ottawa Public Library’s 33 branches have already been converted to operate RFID technology – in fact, there are only a handful left running the old way. The remaining five branches are set to be con-

verted by mid-2017.

The Manotick branch is also slated to receive new book drops and an accessible entrance during the closure. A second closure is tentatively scheduled between Aug. 21 and 31.

The book drop is not available during either closure.

The nearest branches available to residents are the Greely branch (1448 Meadow Dr.) and the Ruth E. Dickinson branch in Nepean (100 Malvern Dr.) RURAL RENOVATIONS

In addition to the Manotick branch, the North Gower branch of the Ottawa Public Library was also recently closed for renovations between July 11 and July 24. There is no word on whether there will be more rural renovations in the near future. Metroland Media contacted the Ottawa Public Library for a schedule but did not receive a response.

Experience the flavours of Manotick Aug. 20 kmccarthymetroland.com

Known for its small town charm, historic businesses and wide range of restaurants, Manotick has a lot to offer.

Dozens of businesses will showcase those offerings at the sixth annual Taste of Manotick on Saturday, Aug. 20. Locals and out-of-towners alike are invited to come and check out what makes the village unique.

“It’s not just about food – even though we call it Taste of Manotick,” said Donna Smith, executive director of the village’s Business Improvement Area (BIA), of the event. “It’s about all the flavours of Manotick.”

Around 50 of the BIA’s participating businesses will line the sidewalks of Manotick Main Street – which is closed to vehicle traffic during the event – and the Manotick Mews to show off their

More entertainment will be featured along the street, Smith said, including a classic car display, a balloon artist and a graffiti artist who will be making art out of customers’ names.

“This is a great way to see everything that Manotick has to offer,” Smith said.

The Taste of Manotick event got its start after Manotick Main Street was disrupted for water and sewer installation, Smith said.

“The street was all ripped up and it was a hard time for businesses,” she said.

When construction was finished, the BIA had an idea: “Why not close our Main Street again,” Smith said, “but have a party this time instead?”

The event has grown in the six years since it started into one of the BIA’s most well attended events.

“People love it,” Smith said. “It’s sort of a one-stop shop to see Manotick.”For more information about the Manotick BIA or the Taste of Manotick event visit www.manotickvillage.com.

New playground makes fun accessible for all Kelly McCarthy

Kids of all abilities have a new playground to enjoy at the Ottawa Rotary Home.

Located at 823 Rotary Way, the $100,000 park is equipped with several fully-accessible structures to make play easy and fun for children – regardless of their abilities.

“To everyone – thank you for your help,” said John Lark, chair of the Ottawa Rotary Home’s board of directors to those gathered at the park’s opening on Wednesday, Aug. 3. “You’ve made a thousand days more fun for hundreds of children.”

The park was made possible thanks in part to the generous donation of the Halpennys, who have been big supporters of the Ottawa Rotary Home since its inception. When Suzanne Halpenny’s KELLY MCCARTHY/METROLAND husband, Keith, passed away in A ceremonial ribbon cutting marked the opening of a new accessible playground at the 2014, the home received more than Ottawa Rotary Home on Aug. 3.

“That’s what got the ball rolling,” said Chloe Hiller, director of development with the Ottawa Rotary Home. “We wanted to do something fun that all of the kids would enjoy.”

Suzanne Halpenny matched the memorial donations, creating the seed money necessary to begin plans for the park. A successful Ontario Trillium Foundation grant application provided another $50,000 towards the project and another $15,000 came from the Community Foundation of Ottawa.

Missing pie becomes a real mystery for Mother

F

ather, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door.

She was at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies.

“There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said.

It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes!

Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed flour-bag tea towels.

The wonderful sweet

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories

smell followed us upstairs.

Well, what a commotion greeted us first thing in the morning!

We could hear Mother yelling at the top of her lungs, ordering Everett to fetch Father from the barn at once!

“He has taken a pie, and probably has eaten most of it by now, and will expect to have a full breakfast when he comes in.” She was sure hoppin’ mad.

Well, Father came in and was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and

down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed.

Mother pointed a finger at each of my three brothers, who all vowed they had never touched the berry pie.

Father had the nerve to suggest maybe Mother had put it someplace, or maybe Earl, who sometimes walked in his sleep had taken it off the bake table.

“Well, it’s gone, and I’ll find out who took it, and there’ll be hang to pay, I can tell you,” she said.

The day passed and

there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all.

Well, the next morning, was a repeat of the morning before.

Mother was yelling at the top of her lungs to get Father from the barn at once!

Then we saw what she was yelling about.

There on the bake table was the empty pie plate, spotlessly clean, shining like a new nickel, with a note written on the back of a cigarette box thanking the lady of the house for the best pie he had ever eaten!

Shivers ran up and down my back when we finally realized a tramp had jumped the freight train that passed through our

farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night.

Father said the smell of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all.

He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the night before.

Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors!

No one in Northcote locked their doors.

Ours didn’t even have a key!

For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm.

He said he knew they often slept in the barn.

And they were hungry... always hungry.

Riding the rails was

their life, and getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive.

After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it.

It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs.

Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times.

Friend of deceased inmate wants people to see beyond addiction to the person she was

Look inside for the

April Donovan first met Shannon Sargent on the streets.

Donovan said she was a 17-yearold addict and Sargent took her under her wing.

“She was always very nice to me and we became good friends,” Donovan wrote in an email.

A few days after her former friend was found dead in her cell at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre on Innes Road, Donovan said she wanted people to remember her friend as a tough girl with a heart of gold.

Ottawa police confirmed on July 20 they were investigating a death at the jail. Sargent, 34, was found dead at 12:30 a.m.“I hope people who will write about her, will not just not write that she had a drug problem, because there was more to her than that,” Donovan said, adding she remembers watching horror movies and eating junk food with her friend.

“She didn’t like to be alone,” Donovan said. “She loved company.”

The latest stint wasn’t the first time inside a jail cell for Sargent, who had been addicted to crack and opiates for at least 15 years, Donovan estimated.

The two women actually served time together in 2009. It was Donovan’s first time in jail and Sargent took care of her.

“She protected me in jail and on the streets,” Donovan said.

Donovan said she and Sargent were both clients of the Shepherd’s of Good Hope. When asked for a statement about Sargent, Don Ermen, communications manager for the shelter, said he couldn’t confirm she was a client for privacy reasons.

STRUGGLED

While Donovan met her fiancée and got clean four years ago, her friend still struggled.

“I was in rehab in 2010 and she was too,” Donovan said. “We would write each other letters.”

The country’s prison population is filled inmates who have addictions issues like Sargent. A 2010 report to the House of Commons on the federal correctional system from the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security stated that 80 per cent of offenders serving two years or more have problems with drugs or alcohol.

Donovan, now 29, said she

VALID FROM THURS

hadn’t talked to her friend in a few months.

“She was relapsing and I am clean and sober,” Donovan said. “I don’t think she wanted to talk to me so she wouldn’t influence me.” But Sargent wanted to get clean for her kids, Donovan said. “She seemed almost happy in jail because you can’t get drugs,” Donovan said.

“She was tired of the street and missed her babies.”

Her daughter, Shauna Ava Sargent, 19, posted a message to her mom on Facebook July 21. “One of the hardest things, regardless of how close you were or weren’t, is losing a parent,” the post reads. “I know we went through our (troubles) but

A coroner’s death investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of Sargent’s death. If the cause of death is determined to be anything other than natural causes, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services will proceed with their own inquiry. Media reports have said that Sargent had underlying health conditions.

Donovan said she wants her friend to be remembered for being an amazing woman. “She was smart and kind hearted and she always helped people out,” Donovan said.

I loved her more than she could have ever realized. All I ever wanted was for her to get better and be my mom but things don’t always work out. I love you mom, now and forever, to the moon and back a million times. But at least you’re at peace now.” Sargent’s death is the third of an inmate at Innes Road facility in four months.

A provincial task force aimed at dealing with issues of overcrowding at the jail released 42 recommendations in June.

The task force found that inmates are being double and even triple bunked.

Public health urges residents to comment on safe injection sites Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to have their say on the fate of safe injection sites.

The public survey on the city’s proposed enhancement to harm reduction services, namely safe injection sites for intravenous drug users, will close on Aug. 8.

The board of health voted in favour of the report entitled Enhancing Harm Reduction Services – Data, Guiding Principle and Next Steps on June 20.

The vote was 9 to 2 in favour of the report, which included the public consultation aspect regarding supervised injection site.

Board chair and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri was one of the holdouts on the strategy, saying he wanted to wait on the outcome of the public consultation before giving his

verdict on supervised injection sites.

He recalled a 2010 visit to Insite in Vancouver, which was the first ever, safe injection site in North America.

“When we called the cab, and the driver asked us, ‘are you sure you want to go there?’” he said, adding the driver would only bring them a block away.

That six-year old cab ride is what Qadri based his health board vote on when the issue was debated.

Toronto city council recently gave the green light to such sites in that city after its health board also approved the idea.

The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre is well into planning to add an injection site to its existing needle exchange and methadone clinic.

The clinic would be in the building at Rideau and Nelson streets.

The approval of the health authority’s guidelines is just the first step. The federal government would have to approve each centre’s plan for a safe injection site and the city would have to approve each site individually once a plan is in place.

The survey proposes three models: • A fixed service that is integrated within existing health and harm reduction services — like the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre’s needle exchange program.

• A standalone service, not within existing health and harm reduction services.

• A mobile service that can move around the city and meet clients where they are.

The survey is open to anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Ottawa. It will close at midnight on Aug. 8.

The survey can be filled out online at HaveYourSayOttawa.ca.

Hazy pot rules becoming a joke

T

he organic growth of the pot dispensary business across Canada has almost been laughable — almost.

We know how this happened, but it shouldn’t have.

The majority of Canadians over recent years have clearly indicated through public opinion polls that they are fine with legal marijuana, and not just for medicinal purposes. The new federal Liberal government campaigned on making pot legal, and says it will do so next year.

And in that opening rushed in the clowns.

These dispensaries, some of which admittedly seem to be more medicinal focused than some others that come across as glorified head shops, are popping up like weeds across the country and in Ottawa.

One of the newest, which seems to be one of those more attuned to the medical angle of the emerging above ground pot trade, is opening up in Stittsville and the local councillor is not amused.

Coun. Shad Qadri says he’ll be watching the new medical marijuana dispensary opening in his com-

munity on Iber Road.

He says it’s within walking distance of four schools, there was no public consultation about the facility prior to setting up shop, that it hasn’t gone through a zoning process and, by the way, it’s illegal.

That’s a pretty damning list of objections, and on all counts Qadri is right. The store’s owner told Metroland Media at an open house that he acknowledges he’s operating in a legal grey area. He said the city and the federal government need to work on improving access to medical marijuana.

But the fact is that at this time there is no legal grey area when it comes to opening a business selling pot, for whatever reason, to the public. That is still illegal, and the rush to open these is like a low-tech Uber attack on local government’s ability to maintain order. In this “legal grey area” is it silly to enforce minor pot possession cases in light of the pending legalization? Perhaps.

But there is nothing hazy about the blossoming of a full-scale pot store industry in the meantime. It is out of control, and these rogue operations should be nipped in the bud.

Marijuana and the legal grey area

I

love my neighbourhood.

I can be in nature in two minutes, launch my kayak on the Ottawa River, buy fresh bread at the bakery, I can get my licence renewed at the Ministry office, and now I can buy pot.

It was only a matter of time.

Within the last few weeks, a marijuana dispensary has opened in my residential Ottawa neighbourhood. I happened to run by it one morning, on my usual route through houses and past the local elementary school.

Yes, the dispensary is a block from a school and a few doors down from a music studio that caters to children. But, last time I checked, it’s illegal to sell marijuana. On June 30, a joint statement from federal ministers of justice, public safety and health on the establishment of a task force to legalize and regulate marijuana noted the following: “The posses-

BRYNNA LESLIE

Capital Muse

sion, production, and trafficking of marijuana remains illegal.

This includes storefronts selling marijuana, commonly known as ‘dispensaries’ and ‘compassion clubs.” And yet, dispensaries are showing up everywhere.

Why aren’t we shutting these things down?

Personally, I don’t see the point in legalizing marijuana. I see the benefit of it for medicinal purposes in a controlled way.

Otherwise, I prefer marijuana as a socially unacceptable drug. I don’t want my kids using it. I don’t want them to think it’s a socially acceptable habit. I prophesize that

governments will try to revoke legalization 20 years from now when they realize that marijuana is a public health burden comparable to alcohol or smoking.

I also realize I’m in the minority on this one. The majority of Canadians support the legalization of marijuana. A poll of 1,000 people conducted by The Globe and Mail and Nanos in February found 68 per cent of Canadians support legalization. In Ontario, more than 70 per cent support legalization, while British Columbians are 75 per cent in favour of legalized pot.

Most of those polled believe weed should be sold at marijuana dispensaries, similar to the ones emerging in neighbourhoods across the country, except regulated. Even me, in my conservative stance, could accept this. But why are we allowing illegal shops to operate in the absence of laws?

There seems to be little, if any, appetite among local officials to shut down these places, which are emerging rapidly in urban centres and residential neighbourhoods across the country In Vancouver, it’s rumoured there are more pot shops than coffee shops. The city has placed restrictions on locations near vulnerable populations, but not much else. In Toronto, a raid of 47 dispensaries in May and June led to the arrest of 90 people. Police laid more than 250 criminal charges, including possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and 71 proceeds of crime, yet some of the raided locations simply reopened the following morning.

And despite the opening of up to eight dispensaries in Ottawa in recent weeks, the police have yet to take any significant action.

Marijuana is illegal. City councillors, the mayor and local police should be doing everything in their authority to shut these dispensaries down permanently.

operate is not in the same realm of regulatory safety as eventual legalization.

Don’t take my word for it. The federal government has said in the absence of legislation, “decriminalization would not provide any regulatory control over the quality and safety of ...marijuana, and would not help keep marijuana out of the hands of youth.” Let’s be smart. Shut the crooks down.

Lack of rain = badly behaved bovines

I

was sitting at the computer happily watching carpool karaoke early one morning when the Farmer came stumbling down the stairs, still pulling pants on.

“Wha?” “Cows. Bad cows. In my field.”

He’s a man of few words.

I looked out the window and sure enough, in the five minutes I had been watching videos, wondering what all the mooing was about, our herd of a dozen cows and their babies had found a hole in the fence.

They were tip-toeing their way across the Farmer’s freshly planted, spongy hayfield, looking for a sweet snack.

I ran outside after him, to give a hand.

Our old sheep dog finally said her last goodbyes, so now it’s my job to help round up wayward livestock.

I am nowhere near as good at this as our Border Collie

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife was, but I am pretty fast, if I do say so myself. But running in the aforementioned sponge of the hayfield while trying not to crush the fledgling sprouts is really difficult. I think the Farmer winced when he saw me take the first step of my pink rubber boot onto his struggling plantings.

I tried to stay on the edge of the field. So did the cows, amazingly enough.

There was more to eat there anyway, in the shade of the tree lane.

“Bad cows! Bad girls!” the Farmer shouted. Unlike with escapee horses and donkeys, cows and sheep don’t come to you when you try to lure them with apples.

You have to get behind them and try to direct them where you want them to go. I flapped my arms, stomped my feet (carefully) and echoed the Farmer’s “HAH! HAH!” to scare the cows back out of the field. The problem is, we couldn’t find the hole they used to get into the hayfield in the first place. We were all locked in there.

Ginger was the first to run back into the barnyard.

She spotted the huge round bale the Farmer had brought to the middle of the yard. It

was just sitting there like bait.

A massive shredded wheat on the end of a tractor fork.

We followed her and her calf to the corner of the field but still couldn’t see how she got out. Must have jumped the fence.

The other cows were not so nimble. They followed Ginger but when they saw the fence they turned and ran back toward the freshly planted, vulnerable field. They were in a panic.

Confused. With the Farmer yelling at them, they realized they were in big trouble but couldn’t figure out what to do. And their fearless leader, Ginger the Great, was already mysteriously on the right side, the home side of the fence.

By then the Farmer had made a hole in the fence by moving the barricade of feeders and head gates he had wired there. The cows escaped, one by one, protesting and commenting loudly as they went.

Some of them danced when they saw the hay bale.

“We are naughty and you can’t catch us. Ha.” The lack of rain has led to extremely bad behavior in our herd. Before this uncharacteristically dry season began, the Farmer closed off two pasture fields in order to turn them over and replant them. They were sorely in need of this after years of no replenishing. That left the cattle with the two front fields to eat.

With no rain there was very little re-growth and within weeks they had those fields munched down to a felt.

Ottawa Police want speed board data in their hands Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa police are developing a process to get their hands on the data

that city councillors can currently access from the speed boards that they put up within their wards.

Coun.

Tim Tierney asked at the July 25 Police

Services Board meeting at city hall if the data collected by the speed boards could be used to assign traffic officers. “We have 23 councillors running

around putting up speed boards,” Tierney said.

“I want to be able to feed that information into the system.”

Deputy police chief Jill

Skinner said she previously wasn’t aware of how much data the city councillors have available to them as a result of the speed boards in their wards. “We are de-

veloping a process for all that data to filter in,” she said.

The data can help determine where traffic officers are most needed.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you know how to lay on the charm to get a job done, and you might need to work your magic this week. Some might scoff, but the end results will be positive.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your work ethic is recognized by superiors this week. Accept this well-earned praise, but keep working hard to maintain your reputation.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have one foot on the ground, your head seems to be up in the clouds. Make an effort to regain your focus so you can finish the tasks at hand.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Problem-solving does not interest you this week, Cancer. You just want things spelled out to you in black and white. If things become too complicated, ask for clarification.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the pressure to make decisions is easing up, and you can finally relax and focus on entertaining things. Take some time to strengthen an important relationship as well.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, ideas in your head are developing so quickly that you can’t pin one down. Your creativity is a feather in your cap, so make an effort to sort out your ideas.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Decisions that seemed so easy to make just a few days ago now seem like uphill battles. Don’t sell yourself short, as you can handle the challenges ahead.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You have an ability to attract power and love, Scorpio. Make the most of this power and try to help others as much as possible. You will be glad for having done so.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, recent contributions on the job are finally getting you some special attention. Your efforts paint you as a team player, and others are taking notice.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a big decision has you mulling all of the potential outcomes.

Take a few breaths and some extra time to reevaluate your priorities in the next few days.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, beauty is everywhere if you just look for it. Pay attention to the little details that can show you the potential of others. You may be surprised at what you find.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you are much more comfortable when surrounded by a close network of friends. Organize a get-together with your social circle.
