Civilian watchdog investigation flawed: Union president Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
While police Chief Charles Bordeleau was cleared by the Ottawa civilian police commission, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof is still calling foul. Bordeleau contacted the Provincial Offences Court office on Jan. 25 regarding his father-in-law Lester Thompson’s ticket for careless driving. Skof initially made a complaint to the office of the independent police review
director. The OIPRD deals with civilian complaints, so the office found that Skof didn’t have the standing to make the complaint. The union is appealing the decision in divisional court. Skof said the commission should have held off on their investigation until the court makes a decision about his standing. That decision could take up to a year, Skof said. In the meantime, the investigation was incomplete because the officer who ticketed Thompson – Const. Will Cantin – was never
interviewed, Skof said. But Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, police services board chair, said the officer was advised by the union not to
participate but investigators were in possession of Cantin’s notes. He said the investigation and subsequent decision
should be made public. Ani Asik, communications co-ordinator for office of the executive chair safety, licensing appeals and stan-
dards tribunals Ontario, said in an email that it would be inappropriate for the commission to make comment See NO APPEAL on page 6

Mayor’s Report OTTAWA WELCOMES YOUNG TALENT FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR ONE YOUNG WORLD SUMMIT By: Mayor Jim Watson
Last fall, I had the pleasure of attending the One Young World Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, where I received the Summit’s “baton”from the Governor of the Bangkok’s Metropolitan Authority, confirming Ottawa as host of One Young World 2016. The baton is proudly displayed at City Hall, until it is time for me to relay it to the 2017 host city. The One Young World Summit is the largest gathering of nations behind the Summer Olympic Games, designed to bring together young people from across the globe to create lasting, meaningful relationships that empower them to create positive change at home and abroad. Since its inception in 2009, One Young World has hosted 7,300 delegates between the ages of 18 and 30, with a further 1,300 expected from 196 countries for the 2016 Summit in Ottawa. The annual One Young World Summit brings together the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations. Delegates to the Summit network with peers from across all spectrums of private industry, the public sector and our world. They will debate, formulate and share innovative solutions for the pressing issues the world faces. No youth led movement outside of the Olympic Games represents as many nationalities as the One Young World Summit.
Artist breaks free of patterns to create own unique style Kelly McCarthy
kmccarthy@metroland.com
Moira Law has never been satisfied with following a pattern. Her journey as an artist has meant creating her own path – and her own unique style of art. Law says her distinctive form of art doesn’t have an official name, but she likes to call it “digital collage art.” She uses photos, images, text and Photoshop software to create one-of-a-kind medleys that “turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.” “Where my art comes from is not under my conscious control,” Law said of her pieces. “The world can sometimes be not a nice place. What I’m trying to create is a bit of a holiday from that.” Law, a resident of Mountain Township, will be featured as a
As an innovative, vibrant and welcoming city, I am proud to greet these young future leaders to our Nation’s Capital this fall. While in Ottawa, they will also have the opportunity to hear and be heard by talented Counsellors, such as former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chef Jamie Oliver and Cher, who will attend the Summit in order to mentor these talented youth.
guest artist on this year’s Discovery Tour from Sept. 17 and 18 in North Gower, Kars and Manotick. The art studio tour includes 14 stops and more than 30 artists throughout the region. Participants are invited to visit one or more of the stops over the weekend to browse a variety of local art, from paintings to pottery. LONG JOURNEY
For most of her life, art was nothing more than a hobby. It wasn’t until a few years before Law retired that she really found her niche. “I’m a late bloomer for sure,” she joked. Born to a military family, Law spent much of her life living a bit of a nomadic lifestyle, never staying in one place for long. By the age of six, she had already crossed
North America four times – and the lifestyle stuck. In her adult life, after marrying a pilot, Law had lived in places like Quebec City and Germany before settling in Mountain Township 20 years ago. Growing up with a businessoriented family, Law found herself drawn to art but pursuing a career in business. She filled her spare time with artistic hobbies – dabbling in knitting and other mediums, never content with following the patterns – but never thought to merge her passions with her livelihood. “I was always seeking the art world,” Law said. “If I could live my life again I’d go to art school for sure.” It wasn’t until digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras became affordable in the mid-2000s that Law really hit her stride.

Monster truck shows, demolition derbies, horse shows, live music, hypnotists and Eastern Ontario’s largest midway – these are just a few of the attractions coming to Ottawa Aug. 19 to 28. Quickly becoming one of the largest fairs in the area, the Capital Fair at the Rideau Carleton Raceway offers 10 days of affordable family fun. “It’s going to be incredible,” said Harley Bloom, the fair’s general manager. “It is going to be the best entertainment for the value in the region.” With free gate admission and several no-cost attractions and events each day, Bloom said the event is the perfect opportunity to experience all the fun of a fair for next to nothing. Free attractions include an Ultimutts Stunt Dog Show, a demolition derby, a cruise night parade, a birds of prey show, western horse shows and live entertainment each day on the OLG (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission) Centre Stage. Of course, all of the usual fair staples will be available as well, including the midway and all the snacks and food you would expect. “We have a jam-packed agenda with lots of action going on,” Bloom said. “And a lot of it is completely free.”

Monday’s Child ITR Theatre Company’s Monday’s Child was presented at Dickinson House on Saturday, Aug. 6. The story shows the bond between a grandmother, played by Judy Beltzner, and a young girl, played by Zoe Gagnon.
The invitation for Isabella is especially exciting when you consider the fact that she is still an Under-14 (2002) player with our Force Academy team which competes within the OPDL. Players for this event were selected based on their long term potential to be a gold medal standard player within Canadian soccer. “We are very proud and pleased with Isabella’s national team selection. Not only is she becoming a truly accomplished player, but just as important, an outstanding character on and off the field,“ stated club President Bill Michalopulos. Isabella joined OSU at a very young age and has quickly progressed with her play within the Force Academy since U9. She is the oldest sibling of five soccer players within the club - and sets a great example and role model for young players within our club to aspire towards. “It is very pleasing to see a player who started with OSU when she was very young to be selected to the national team. In working with Bella over the past few years, her consistent effort, dedication and perseverance during difficult challenges is what has brought her to this level. She continues to challenge herself to improve and is always receptive to learning and taking advice from her coaches,” noted club Technical Director Paul Harris. Most recently, she captained Team Ontario at the 2016 Spring QuebecOntario series held in Toronto. Previous to this, in March of 2016 she also had the opportunity to train with Liverpool Ladies F.C. after being identified by Coach Jepson during her visit to Ottawa last year.

No appeal process for OCPC decision Continued from front page
on the investigation because it was conducted under Section 25 of the Police Services Act and is not a public document. The police services board released a portion of the decision, which said the withdrawal of the charges was a result of the fact that the civilian witness didn’t attend.
“The evidence supports a finding that Chief Bordeleau did not engage in misconduct. Chief Bordeleau did not attempt to use his position to influence the outcome of the Highway Traffic Act matter nor to communicate with the prosecutors,” the report reads. “The withdrawal of the charge happened because the civilian witness did not
attend and there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. Withdrawal of a charge of this type in these circumstances was consistent with the practices adopted by the City of Ottawa in the prosecution of Highway Traffic Act offences.” Asik also said the Highway Traffic Act doesn’t provide for an appeal of the investigation or its findings.
The board asked the OCPC to move forward with the investigation in March, a little more than a month after Bordeleau’s call to the court. El-Chantiry has taken some heat because of the time between the phone call and the call for an investigation. “I had to wait until there was a board meeting,” ElChantiry said, adding the
OIPRD found that Skof didn’t have standing to make a complaint, so an appeal body handled the investigation. But Skof said the commission didn’t have the resources to complete the investigation and had to contract it out – which is why it should have been handled by the OIPRD. Skof said it’s “shockingly inappropriate” to suggest that the investigation is complete with only the officer’s notes. He added that no matter
the outcome of the divisional court’s decision, there’s a lack of trust in the system. “The issue over the phone call is almost a moot point now,” Skof said, adding the real goal now is to ascertain the standing of the union to make complaints for the future, not just for the Ottawa police, but in other regions. “We have the full-time staff to press this issue forward, but in other regions with less members they don’t. There has to be a way to hold the executive accountable.”
Continued lack of rain causes ‘severe’ drought condition in Rideau watershed Based on the 30-day precipitation drought indicator, the Rideau River Watershed has entered the “severe” drought category as of Friday, Aug. 12, according to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. There has been no rain recorded at the Ottawa Airport since July 25. Some rain has been recorded at other locations in and around the watershed but there have not been the several days of rain needed to restore the deficit that has
accumulated. The little rain forecast immediately after the severe drought condition was issued was not enough needed to revive the watershed. Warm weather is expected to cause more evaporation, which could contribute significantly to the decline of water levels throughout the area. This statement of “severe” drought conditions is not a declaration of an emergency but an indicator of the severe dry conditions and impacts being felt across the Rideau
watershed. Any declaration of an official state of emergency is a municipal decision. Water conservation is increasingly important as the drought continues. Residents living in areas served by groundwater wells need to use water wisely to avoid depleting the aquifer from which they are drawing. Those whose water comes from a municipal water system need to check their municipal social media for any water use restrictions that may be in place. All resi-
dents are advised to check for information on water use, water sources and – with groundcover and trees very dry – on fire bans. Holders of permits to take water from surface or groundwater sources are encouraged to reduce their actual taking as much as possible. It is not recommended to try to fill dry wells with surface water or treated water. It would be better to fill cisterns or other storage units. Residents with a dry well should check with their municipal-
ity, which may have the capacity to provide drinking water from their water treatment plants if they have one. For more information about wells, go to this MOECC site https://www.ontario.ca/page/ managing-your-water-welltimes-water-shortage. To learn more about Ontario’s low water response program visit: www.ontario. ca/page/low-water-responseprogram. Also, visit the RVCA website (www.rvca. ca) for information about drought response. For hourly
and daily streamflows and water levels go to his.rvca.ca/ rvcafwl/. In order to track impacts of the drought conditions in the watershed, the conservation authority requests individuals or businesses in the Rideau Watershed experiencing difficulties with their wells contact the conservation authority at 613-6923571 or 1-800-267-3504, ext. 1128 or 1132.

T
he invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas. Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth to that rumour. I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her eggmoney sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party, so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch. The day finally arrived, and all Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked won-
MARY COOK Memories ders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too! A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal, I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid eyes on the lad before, and my first introduction to him was when he stuck his tongue out at me, and crossed his eyes right on the church steps! My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were about to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way. I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep. Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture. But soon you could hear
the loud snores all over the church. The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over. It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over. The dress became my “going to church dress,” but the shoes would never touch my feet again. One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brown-laced boys shoes, which also came in the hand-me-down box from Regina. Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again, think the Depression was happening in some other country.

Every single drop of water counts
H
ere in Ottawa, we are lucky to live next to the Ottawa River; a massive source of water. And we are equally lucky that our city has managed the resource and its distribution carefully. The Ottawa River is clean enough to swim in, for the most part. The river water runs through filtration plants and pipes that deliver a perfectly clean product to all but the rural homes in the city. In much of the world, clean drinkable water is not a given. It takes time to haul and may take time to boil until potable. Here we simple turn the tap. It’s something we take for granted. But a short drive away, equipment problems and weather conditions have quickly turned water into a question mark. The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority declared a severe drought condition for several sub watersheds of the Mississippi River last week. Given the recent heatwave and limited rainfall, it’s no surprise. The question is – with climate change upon us – how many more droughts will turn arable land and productive wells into unusable or less productive land? The Town of Arnprior saw water shut off last week because of a loss of pressure in
the town’s pipes. Residents couldn’t even bathe in the water. Flushing a toilet was OK. Bottled water was handed out. It shows just how key water is to our existence. Turn off the taps and our world will change dramatically in a matter of minutes. Ninety per cent of Ottawa’s population lives on just 10 per cent of the city’s arable land. Rural Ottawa relies on wells and septic tanks to exist and for them a power failure has up until now been the biggest threat. No electricity means no water pump bringing that ice-cold water up from your well. But the rural water supply is starting to show a few signs of distress. On Aug. 12, with little or no rain in sight, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, based in Manotick, issued a press release stating that the Rideau River Watershed was now in the severe drought category. The decision was based on the 30day precipitation indicator they use. Once rural water supplies are affected by a lack of rain or ground surface water starts to decline, rural residents will be in trouble. We take it for granted, but it’s surely time to reassess our seemingly easy access to good water.
Take the fun leave the phone at home
I
never understood what Pokémon was all about way back in 1995 when it was just a bunch of mysterious cards that kids collected. Now, it has become something you do with your phone and I understand it even less. I’ve decided it’s not worth the trouble to learn, which is the kind of decision you have the luxury of making when you get older. Fortunately you don’t have to understand the whys and wherefores of the game to be fascinated by the social consequences of whatever it is the players are doing. The news media are full of reports about bizarre gatherings of people in unlikely places. Each day brings new tales of people behaving irrationally in pursuit of whatever it is, endangering themselves and others.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town To hear the media tell it, people are walking into traffic, falling off cliffs and into bodies of water, all the while looking for Pokémon thingies on their phones. While you can usually discount such tales of horror by half, the sort of people who regularly become alarmed by new forms of behaviour are alarmed and ready to testify to the media about how alarmed they are. Given the fact that there are genuinely alarming things going on in the world, the Pokémon Go disturbance is a pretty good example of a First World problem.
But that doesn’t stop people from demanding that something be done. Communities are getting nervous. Too many people are showing up at places such as Toronto’s ferry terminal or day-care centres in New Hampshire. They are driving erratically around Toronto suburbs in the middle of the night. Toddlers, it is claimed, have been abandoned and the Israeli army has expressed concern about security implications. I’m reminded of the time, in 1981, when an Ottawa daily newspaper ran a promotion involving hiding a gold bar and printing clues as to its whereabouts. People being people, misinterpretations were made and folks began digging in odd places, such as the Regional Detention Centre.

Eventually, the story goes, city police let the paper know that it would be good if the gold was found quickly, and it was. While some cities are attempting to cash in on Pokémon Go’s popularity to attract visitors, Toronto has asked that the game’s developers move whatever it is away from the ferry terminal. This, in turn, has dismayed the game’s devotees, who fear a crackdown. What some of them said is interesting. “It actually brings people together,” one woman told the Toronto Star. “The normal games that you usually have in your phone … encourage kids to stay indoors. This is the first game that brought people out.” That’s a good point when you think about it, and maybe people have been too quick to condemn something they don’t completely understand. All the great toys technology has given us tend to keep us inside, peering into our screens by ourEDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Joe Morin joe.morin@metroland.com 613-221-6240 REPORTER: Kelly McCarthy kmccarthy@metroland.com, 613-221-6159
selves. Now, here are a bunch of people venturing out and finding a kind of community when they get out there. Mind you, they’re still staring at screens. The trick now is to find ways of bringing out the people, while keeping the phones at home. As you can tell, if you look around these days, this will not be easy. Maybe if we hid some gold.

Protestors call for an end to solitary confinement The report also said that aboriginals represent 25.4 per cent of the inmate population, compared to making up four per cent of the overall Canadian population. Aboriginal women represent 36 per cent of female inmates. Parlow said now that he’s been getting an education, he’s returned to the culture that he missed out on because he’s spent so much time behind bars. “Going to a men’s healing circle has helped me tremendously,” Parlow said. When he finishes his undergrad degree, Parlow wants to get his doctorate and go on to teach criminology with an aboriginal focus. “I also want to be boots on the ground and be in the prisons showing people that there are other

“Prisons kill, kill prisons,” was one of the chants a group of protesters could be heard saying on a march to Parliament Hill on Aug. 10. The group march was part of a commemoration called Prisoners’ Justice Day. Eddie Nalon, a Milhaven maximum-security penitentiary inmate died in segregation on Aug. 10 1974. The next year, inmates held a memorial. In 1976 Milhaven prisoners called for a one-day hunger strike in opposition of solitary confinement. Since then the day has become recognized both within and outside prison walls. The march in Ottawa started with a peace café at 25oneCommunity on Bank Street and headed to the headquarters of Correctional Services Canada before ending on the steps of Parliament Hill. Dan Parlow, one of the organizers of the local event, has a unique perspective on the issue. Having grown up in and out of foster homes, Parlow became a man in jail. His first sentence was at 16 in a maximum-security facility. Now a student in criminology at Carleton University, Parlow has turned his life around. But he will be the first to tell you prisons don’t work when it comes to rehabiltation. Instead of being rehabilitated, Parlow said he felt like he had gone to a university of crime. He said he hopes to continue to “unlearn” some of the things he did in his tumultuous childhood. As an aboriginal, Parlow was 10 times more likely to end up in jail than a non-aboriginal, according to a report entitled Aboriginal Offenders – a Critical Situation that was prepared for the corrections ombudsman Howard Sapers. Some of the factors the report says cause that disparity are: • Effects of the residential school system. • Experience in the child welfare or adoption system. • Family or community history of suicide, substance abuse and/or
options,” he said. NOT JUST ABORIGINAL ISSUES
The protestors came from all walks of life, and called for an end to the use of solitary confinement, an end to the use of force and the criminalization of political dissidents, sex workers, LGBT and those with mental health issues. In short, advocates want the system to work with people instead of against them. Parlow said he wants to see more engagement with the community and more deterrent programs. “We need to work on employment programs, relationships and education instead of sending people to jail,” he said.

Week In Review!
MEGAN DELAIRE/METROLAND
The 26th Annual Osgoode Family Ball Tournament took place last weekend and what an accomplishment! It was absolutely amazing to see all of the teams come together in support of an excellent cause all while having fun at the tournament. This year they raised money for Jonathan Pitre (The Butterfly Boy). Jonathan Pitre suffers from a rare and incurable disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa, which causes his skin to blister in response to minor stimuli such as scratching or heat. Many thanks to Fries for Charity, all of the volunteers who took time off to help out, and thank you to everyone who contributed to make this event a huge success! It is truly an inspiration to see our community come together to support one another. The MS 2016 Ride had a tremendous turnout with over 600 cyclists participating in this year’s ride! The annual ride for MS had a few different distances to choose from, such as the day ride up to Cornwall and back, or the overnight to Cornwall and back the next day. They also offered shorter distance rides to accommodate any cyclist’s abilities. They had raised just over $500,000 by the day of the ride, with more donations still coming in. It was a fantastic sight to see so many cyclists leave the Metcalfe Arena start gate. I was honoured to open the race with a few words to the participants about their commitment to the MS Ride. The encouragement these riders give to those that are diagnosed with MS and the hope of a better quality of life, gets closer to reality because of the people that contribute to Ride to End MS! Thank you to the organizers and over 200 volunteers that help make this ride possible! The Osgoode Ward Business Association held an executive meeting this week to talk about several issues that have been brought forward and continue the planning for their first Social in early September. OWBA Executive and its current members are looking forward to the return of many familiar faces and meeting new people in a social setting to discuss the advantages of becoming a member of the association. More to come on this grand event. The St. Charbel Maronite Catholic Parish held its 22nd Annual Family Gathering Around the Virgin Mary this week. This annual event sees hundreds of families, friends, clergy and politicians join in the procession to the church for a celebration mass then over to the fair grounds for a midway, food and live musical entertainment. This truly is an amazing event to see and participate in as a close-knit community that emphasizes family values and keeping the Lebanese culture here in Canada alive and in touch with each other. I was humbled to join in the festivities with fellow politicians and Mayor Jim Watson to celebrate this Lebanese and Maronite Heritage event which is the grandest feast day of the year. Thank you the large organizing committee, clergy and hundreds of volunteers it took to make this all happen in such an organized and truly wonderful way.

lator. Paramedics were called and responded, and by the time they arrived, the man was conscious and talking. Advanced care paramedics treated the man and transported him to the Ottawa Hospital’s general campus in serious but stable condition. Paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier praised the bystanders for their intervention, saying that the intervention likely played a significant role in the man’s survival and recovery. “Even though we got there fairly quickly, it’s always crucial that bystanders follow what we call the chain of survival,” Trottier said. “And that was followed extremely quickly, which increases the chance of survival very well.” Trottier explained that the chain of survival is a set of critical actions necessary to treat life-threatening emergencies. Those steps include early contact with 9-1-1 dispatch, early intervention with CPR, access to and use of an automatic external defibrillator and the arrival of paramedics. “All of those occurred extremely quickly, very well prior to us arriving it seemed,” Trottier said. “And certainly that increases the chance of
us restarting the heart with medication. It increases it tremendously. So it’s absolutely crucial, the intervention prior to our arrival.” The defibrillator used at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre is one of 1,000 installed across the city through the Ottawa Paramedic Public Access Defibrillator program, Trottier said. He explained that, through the program, defibrillators are located in libraries, community centres, arenas, police vehicles, private businesses and organizations, ready to use in case of a medical emergency. And those 1,000 are only the units currently registered with the program. Trottier said in recent years more and more unregistered – but still potentially lifesaving – defibrillators have begun to show up at shops, clinics and other private businesses in Ottawa. “What we don’t know is how many machines are in public hands,” Trottier said. “So we’re seeing a lot more medical offices, dental offices, private companies like insurance companies, stores and so forth having AEDs on site. So it is a lot more popular than it was just a few years ago.”

“I started with film photography but I thought it was such a long process and I didn’t like the chemicals,” she said. “Then they invented digital cameras and I was off to the races.” Law finds herself drawn to photographing exotic things that aren’t seen nearby, such as landscapes in Egypt or Newfoundland. When she finds a photo that speaks to her, she opens it in Photoshop and gets to work. “There’s no real process or system that I follow,” Law said. “I just do whatever feels right – it’s intuitive.” Law said she has studied various Photoshop techniques through classes and through trial and error. She uses a variety of tools in each piece.

Law’s art combines concrete images with abstract concepts to create unique pieces that she sells only once – she doesn’t create multiple prints of each piece. “It truly is one-of-a-kind,” she said. Law said art is the one thing she can do tirelessly, working long and happy
hours often to create her pieces. “I want people to be able to look at something ordinary and see it in a different way,” she said. “That’s what I aspire to do.” For more information on the Discovery Tour or for a full list of artists and stops, visit www.discovery-tour.ca.

Cardel is no stranger to this haven on the Mississippi. Its Stonewater Bay community was a big hit with buyers looking to embrace an executive riverside lifestyle. Now, with the arrival of Miller’s Crossing, even more families can enjoy the tranquil charm of Carleton Place, surrounded by urban conveniences. Featuring brand new plans exclusive to this special community, Miller’s Crossing will offer a range of affordable options for buyers new to the area or looking to move within a town they already love.

Regardless of the style they choose – a single-family home, townhome or a condo (coming soon) – Miller’s Crossing buyers will find lower prices than those for comparable homes in nearby communities like Kanata or Stittsville, without sacrificing a convenient commute or neighbourhood charm. The community’s location is sure to be popular with DND employees moving to the new Kanata HQ, just a short drive from home. Cardel’s sales centre will open on August 22 at noon at Unit 1C, 515 McNeely Ave., next to Starbucks in the commercial park at McNeely and Highway 7. For sales centre hours and to register for updates, visit www.cardelhomes.com

BONUS ROOM
Miller’s Crossing will launch with 15 new single-family floorplans, expected to start in the low $400s. Plans include four bungalow designs plus a variety of two-storey layouts available on two lot sizes, with several elevation styles to choose from, including Canadiana, contemporary and traditional exteriors. Each home style is designed to complement the nature-draped surroundings and contribute to attractive neighbourhood streetscapes. For those looking to embrace the easy life, Cardel’s townhomes will combine low-maintenance convenience and affordability. With seven floorplans to choose from, townhomes in Miller’s Crossing include high specification standards and come loaded with features – a great way to enjoy Cardel craftsmanship at a low price point.

Surrounded by nature, including parks, a pond and a community centre, Miller’s Crossing is located adjacent to greenspace protected from future development. Residents can take advantage of nearby shopping within walking distance, including Canadian Tire, Starbucks, Walmart, Tim Hortons and Independent Grocer. With its full calendar of local events and year-round recreation opportunities, Carleton Place has a sense of community all its own.

WHEN LIFE BECOMES AN ART WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT AN ELEGANT, MODERN BUILDING THAT COMBINES LUXURIOUS APARTMENTS, A BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND A MAGNIFICENT ART GALLERY – ALL IN AN IDEAL SETTING IN DOWNTOWN OTTAWA? THAT’S WHAT DEVMCGILL IS OFFERING, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OTTAWA ART GALLERY, THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA AND GROUPE GERMAIN. LOVERS OF CULTURE AS WELL AS SEEKERS OF A UNIQUE LIFESTYLE IN THE HEART OF URBAN HUSTLE WILL BE DELIGHTED. DevMcGill, which has been crowned Entrepreneur of the Year and is the winner of the prestigious Montréal Architectural Heritage Award, is a key real estate promoter in Canada. The Arthaus project combines its unmatched savoir-faire and standout audacity. For the first time in Canada, a residential tower will combine luxury condominiums, an art gallery and a boutique hotel. Residents are immersed in culture in the heart of Ottawa. SUMPTUOUS CONDOMINIUMS The 89 condos located between the 15th and 23rd floors (including four penthouses) offer a breathtaking panorama of Ottawa and the surrounding area, no matter where the apartments are located. On the east are vistas of trees, houses and historic buildings, as well as University of Ottawa campus; on the west, the view of downtown, Parliament and its magical evening spectacles is unbeatable; and finally, on the north the hills surrounding the Ottawa Valley
to the north of Gatineau rise proudly on the horizon. All the condos have at least one bedroom, a living room, a dining room and a bathroom (two in the two-bedroom units) with glassed-in showers and rainshower showerheads. They also have an elegant open-plan kitchen, the work of Toronto designer U31, with built-in European appliances. Two condominiums can be joined together to provide three bedrooms. The penthouses have two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room (convenient for guest!), along with a gas stove in a kitchen and an outdoor gas fitting that makes barbecuing easier. A gas fireplace can also be installed. In order to personalize the décor to their own tastes, owners are invited to chose from a range of top-end finishes selected by famous designers. Besides the choice of materials, they get expert advice on how to configure and personalize their space. On request, an ultramodern home automation system can be installed in the penthouses to control lighting, music and the alarm system. Another characteristic of these condominiums: exceptional lighting, featuring immense bay windows and ceilings 9 to 10 feet high (14 in the penthouses). Most of these apartments, and all the penthouses, have a balcony or loggia terrace. You’ll feel like you’re practically in the clouds, with the City of Ottawa at your feet!

Plum gelato is a fantastically tasty alternative to traditional ice cream Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used. Italian ice cream has less of both. Preparation Time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1-1/2 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6
Cut each plum in half, but not all the way through and remove pit. Place plums cut side up in prepared pan (they will be snug). Drizzle with honey. Roast in 425ºF (220ºC) oven until very soft, darker in colour and caramelized on the bottom, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth. Pour into container, cover and refrigerate overnight. PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Italian Prune Plums • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Honey Custard: • 1 egg • 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half-and-half cream • 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk •2 tbsp (25 mL) honey Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, milk and honey until honey is dissolved. Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove 1/2 cup (125 mL) of warm mixture and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to
coat back of metal spoon, about 8 minutes. Pour into heatproof bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight. Gently whisk plum purée into custard. Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions. Freeze in covered container. For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving. Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to 3 weeks. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Talkin’ turkey down on the farm
I
was heading out to the compost pile early one morning when I felt I was being followed. The cows were already out in the field so it wasn’t one of them. I turned around and no one was behind me – but when I looked down I saw four turkeys standing at my feet. They had followed me across the barnyard to the compost heap and were curiously examining what I was depositing. “Hey! How did you guys get out?!” They looked up at me and warbled in a perfect chorus. I have no idea how they do that. It’s like they communicate telepathically within seconds and decide they are all going to speak at once. They do it all the time and it freaks me right out. The Farmer thought the turkeys might like their free
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife range area expanded a bit so he cordoned off a sheltered area in the stable with snow fencing. Then he slid both the back wall and the front wall of the stable open so the breeze can pass through. It’s quite comfy in there, and about ten degrees cooler than outside. We put the turkeys back in their pen for safekeeping at night – we don’t want anyone escaping to wander the yard where they might get picked off by a predator. And it has become apparent that they are quite capable of escaping their
snow fencing. I walked back to the stable, the turkeys in tow. They shuffled along behind me, stopping occasionally to nibble grit and weeds on the ground. Examining the snow fence, I could not clearly see their exit route. There were no gaps in the fence and the bottom had been pinned down to the dirt floor. They must have jumped up and flown over the top. And the Farmer said turkeys with their pin feathers removed cannot fly. Then I noticed a problem. Their feeders were empty. I
dragged a 40k bag of feed off the pile and hauled it into the fenced area. The turkeys followed me in, gullibly. They commented in unison about the new development. They were getting fed. I wonder if they took any credit for collecting me from the barnyard and willing me to do their bidding. Turkeys don’t eat much but we have a few more birds this year so they are going through the feed pretty quickly. Not as quickly as the cows though – I think our dozen head and their babes are halfway through their winter hay already due to the lack of rain and no grass growing on the meadow. The turkeys have it easy. They seem quite content, and I would like to think they have made it past the age of being targets for rac-
coons and skunks. I could be wrong there, but fingers are crossed. I surveyed their domain. The double horse stall had been turned into a turkey pen, and they are quite cosy in there. Turkey poop lines every flat surface – again, a sign that they are able to fly at least a few feet in the air, up to roost. I knocked some of the dung off, shoveled it up, and spread some fresh, dry hay across the spongy floor. Immediately several turkeys appeared on either side of me. They climbed up onto the piles of hay even before I could release it from my fork. I gently pushed them aside with my foot so I could spread the hay out. “Oh, you like that, huh?” The birds nestled down into the dry hay, preening, cooing and clucking.
The brushing action of the hay must feel good under their sweaty feathers in this heat. It dries them off and fluffs them up. By the time I finished dressing their pen the birds were all shiny and white again. And the four who had escaped to go and find me looked quite pleased with themselves, snuggled together on a fresh pile of hay in the corner. As I turned to walk away I said “goodbye – have a nice day, birdies…” and they all responded by warbling the same three notes together, simultaneously. I wish they would stop that. Freaks me right out. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail. com

match in personality for everyone who’d like to make a cat their new best friend.” Summer means the OHS is usually crawling with kittens but this year is the busiest it’s been in many, Oswald said. “We’ve had more cats come in to the shelter. And we’re treating more complicated injuries and doing more behaviour interventions to give more cats than ever a second chance,” Oswald said. “This has translated into a very busy Adoption Centre.” To help find homes for more cats, the OHS is offering a two-for-one adoption fee on all adult kitties at the shelter. “All adoptable animals stay in our Adoption Centre for as long as it takes for them to find their forever homes,” Oswald said. “But really, we’re just the second best place.A home is where they really belong.”

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION University life: five financial pitfalls to try and avoid A university or college student’s finances can quickly evaporate if they aren’t managed well. Beat the stress and problems related to lack of money by avoiding these traps.
bursaries for pleasure • You may be tempted to use your loan and grant money to go on a fun spring-break trip, but you’ll just end up with even more debt.
Buying now, paying later • For a student, credit cards can be a two-edged sword: they are a great way to establish a credit rating, but they can also destroy it for a long time to come. Just one late payment in your credit file can be enough to ruin your chances for a car loan or an apartment rental agreement.
Not saving • A common mistake is to believe that it’s impossible to put money aside while you’re a student. In reality, money that you could easily be saving often gets used for unnecessary expenses.
Using student loans and
Getting married to obtain loans and grants • Although it’s somewhat less fashionable these days,
some people still resort to getting married so they can gain access to better loans and grants. However, this can result in disastrous financial repercussions. Students who marry only to get money are committing fraud, and they are also putting their family assets at risk. Not asking for help • Financial difficulties lead many students to isolate themselves. By not seeking the help they need to find the solution to their problems, these students are exposing themselves to excessive debt or SUBMITTED PHOTO even bankruptcy. Sometimes one mistake is enough to put a student’s finances in jeopardy. Be careful!

Career choices: try not to worry By the time they graduate from high school, your teenagers are expected to have made certain choices about their future careers. What do they want to do in life? If you feel your children are undecided or unmotivated, or if they refuse to talk about it, don’t be discouraged just yet. There are many different ways you can help your children through this process. First of all, take every possible opportunity to discuss their interests and skills. Listen without judging and criticizing. Go ahead and tell them you could picture them doing this or that profession, but don’t pressure them. The important thing is to keep your teenagers thinking about the future. Encourage them to see a career counsellor so they can exSUBMITTED PHOTO plore their natural talents and learn Encourage your teenagers to find out about various study programs without putting any pressure on them. about the different programs of

Through all their explorations, young people discover their own identity, assimilate all kinds of knowledge and accumulate valuable life experience. Your children’s career paths may be very different from yours. Keep in mind that it’s not uncommon to change careers once, twice or even more often nowadays. In short, be patient when helping your teenagers in their career choices. And remember, they need their parents’ support, even if they don’t show it openly.

Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying wherever we find it Choose to be a witness not a victim when it comes to bullying. According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school. Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying. TYPES OF BULLYING
Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge. Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of
someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti. Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature. Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone. DEVASTATING EFFECTS
Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of selfconfidence, and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying. Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868 or www. kidshelpphone.ca.

ADVERTORIAL
Helping to power the revolution in cancer research Written by: Andrea Douglas In 2008, the inaugural year ofTHE RIDE (formerly Ride the Rideau), Gary Milks joined his co-workers the Brick Peddlers from Merkley Supply and hopped on his bike for a 100km ride for this important cancer fundraiser. It was tough going. A week before the ride he had injured his shoulder while playing hockey. By the 85 km mark, he couldn’t feel his arm. Massage personnel en route jumped in and helped alleviate some of the pain and he was able to finish – barely. In year two, Gary decided to take a pass on the actual biking, but not on THE RIDE. Since then, he has been working as part of the weekend set up crew.The funny thing is this job is more work than actually riding.
But more than the pride of working on such an incredible event, for Gary, it’s about the personal stories of cancer all around him that drive his passion for volunteering forThe Ottawa Hospital. That first year of the event, Gary had lost a neighbour, a young mother, to breast cancer. Pancreatic cancer claimed the life of a cherished aunt. And this past December, he lost eight family members to cancer. “It touches everybody,” he says. And it’s why he volunteers faithfully. Because he wants to give back and he wants to see this terrible disease beaten.
“The good thing physically about the bike ride is that after four or five hours you’re done,” he chuckles. “But on the operations crew, the work starts by 6 am and doesn’t finish until 10 pm.”
Whether it’s driving the big trucks, or setting up and tearing down the course, or dropping off water and oranges at the feed stations, he gets a good feeling from being involved with the event.
As the IT manager for Merkley Supply, a proud sponsor ofTHE RIDE, Gary wouldn’t dream of missing this event. It’s the most successful one-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just six years, it’s raised more than $10 million for cancer research atThe Ottawa Hospital.
And was he disappointed when torrential rains meantThe Ride was called off last fall?
He says the Merkley office is covered with pictures and plaques of the Brick 34 Manotick News - Thursday, August 18, 2016
Peddlers from year to year. And that daily reminder of what this event can accomplish instills in him a real sense of pride.
“Sure, I was sorry it didn’t happen,” he says, “But the money was still raised. And that’s really what it’s all about.” Join Gary and the hundreds of volunteers who are powering the revolution in cancer research. Register today at DoTheRide.ca
