Flex signs either loved or hated by concerned Osgoode residents kkent@metroland.com

“If there’s one thing we can all agree on – it’s that there is a speeding issue in Osgoode.” Coun. George Darouze of Osgoode ward welcomed dozens of concerned residents to a traffic calming town hall meeting on Tuesday, July 19 at the Osgoode Community Centre. The room was divided on some of the pilot methods Darouze’s office has been test-

ing to help combat the problem, but everyone agreed that something has to be done. The meeting was a follow up to one a year prior on the same topic. Hosted by the Osgoode Village Community Association (OVCA), the purpose was to brainstorm traffic calming techniques and gather resident input on factors such as location and effectiveness. Over the last few months, Darouze said his office has been cracking down on

speeding in the ward and implementing a number of pilot projects targeting sensitive areas like school zones. Among speed boards and painted speed limit reminders on the streets themselves, his office implemented what turned out to be a controversial method: flex signs. In June, Darouze’s office oversaw the installation of flex signs in Osgoode ward among problem roads such as Osgoode Main Street. The signs, which are installed along the centre line to narrow the perceived roadway and slow traffic, were either loved or hated by residents. Either way, they were removed illegally overnight and tossed on a nearby lawn. The signs have not been reinstalled, Darouze said, because he wanted to gather input from residents first to see whether or not there is support for the signs. LOVED OR HATED

There was a clear divide among residents over the effectiveness or necessity of flex signs in their village. See SPEEDERS page 12

No engines necessary at Manotick Soapbox Derby Registration open for sixth annual event Aug. 28 Kelly McCarthy

kkent@metroland.com

There’s no need for racers to start their engines at the Manotick Soapbox Derby. Registration is now open for the sixth annual Soapbox Derby, which this year takes place on Sunday, Aug. 28. The event, hosted by the Manotick Village Community Association, is modelled after the races of old, where local kids would spend the summer building a gravitypowered soapbox cart and race them downhill against friends. Allan Haan, the event’s organizer, said it was started six years ago after a legion veteran suggested the idea as a sort of throwback to a race he used to participate in when he was young. “The idea was that it would be nice to have the kids try their hands at building (a cart),” Haan said. “To get them away from the screens for a while.” The emphasis of the Manotick Soapbox Derby is to encourage kids to have a hand in creating their cart, whether that’s in the construction or the decoration. “It’s a fun summer project

The derby takes place on Beaverwood Road next to Centennial Park starting at 9:30 a.m. Participants begin at the top of the hill, coasting what Haan called a “couple of hundred yards” to the finish. Haan said he expects between 30 and 40 participants in around 20 carts. “It’s grown to about as big as we can accommodate,” Haan said of the event. “We’ve always had a good turn out.” HITTING THE ROAD

Everyone is welcome at the Manotick Soapbox Derby, Haan said. While the derby restricts

participation to children aged seven or older for safety reasons, Haan said that everyone who fits that requirement can race. The Manotick Soapbox Derby has a Super Kids program for children with special needs to ensure anyone who wants to participate has an opportunity to do so. Additionally, the derby has nine sponsored carts available for children who are unable to provide their own. “We want to make sure that no kid gets left behind,” Haan said. Still, Haan said the event’s organizing committee encourages participants to try their hand at building their own carts.

mourous, colourful or patriotic carts as well. GETTING REGISTERED

Registration is now open for the 2016 Manotick Soapbox Derby. Interested participants can find the registration form on the MVCA website. The cost is $25 for children providing their own carts. Haan said to register early, because spots fill up quickly.

Then, all that’s left to do is build a soapbox cart. “This (event) is not for the serious soapbox derby competitor,” Haan said with a laugh. “It’s just a fun time for kids to do something they might not get to do somewhere else.” For more information on the rules and requirements of the derby, as well as the Super Kids or cart-borrowing programs, visit www. manotickvca.org.

While most carts are made of plywood, Haan said they’ve had some more innovative entries over the years. One, he recalled, was made out of a canoe that had been cut in half and given wheels. “We’ve seen some unique ones,” Haan said. “The more creative, the better.” Each cart undergoes a full safety inspection before the event – starting at 8 a.m. – and can be disqualified if deemed dangerous. Most of all, Haan said it’s important to remember to have fun building a cart and to be creative.

New Manotick app showcases town’s treasures Luv Manotick available for download Aug. 20 Kelly McCarthy

kkent@metroland.com

Do you love Manotick? Whether you love Manotick already or hope to get to know it in the future – there’s an app for that. In development for release on Aug. 20 during the Taste of Manotick event is Luv Manotick, an app for iPhone

and Android that is described by creator Scott Wilson as “a Manotick-lover’s dream.” The app, created under his company My Mobile Apps, is a follow up to Wilson’s original Manotick-inspired app, Manotick Coupons. Luv Manotick is a one-stop shop for local deals, tips and tricks, event notifications and insider knowledge. “It’s all about helping people appreciate what we’ve got,” Wilson said of the app and its purpose. “We have a lot going on here in Manotick and I think we should share that with the

world.” The app – which will be available for free download in the Apple App Store, Google’s Play Store, on iTunes and anywhere else apps can be found – is an interactive tool to help users find businesses, restaurants, historic sites and events while also offering a platform to share photos, tips and reviews. Wilson also plans to work with local merchants on incentives like loyalty cards for app users. Wilson has been living in Manotick with his family – his wife and two daughters –

for the last 20 years. His love for his town and his desire to make a living from home inspired him to get into the app development market with his first Manotick Coupons app in November of 2014. “The thought behind it was to give incentive for customers to shop at our small local businesses,” Wilson said, “but also to give the businesses support with a larger customer audience.” Over 1,400 people downloaded the free Manotick Coupons app, but Wilson said he quickly realized that local businesses would be better served with a different app – one like Luv Manotick that offers loyalty incentives instead of coupons. The Luv Manotick app is Wilson’s way of showcasing his beloved town, its businesses and all it has to offer. See APP page 11

Ottawa property assessments well below provincial average Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa is well below the provincial average for increases in residential property assessments, coming in at an average of 3.45 per cent. That is well below the 18 per cent increase residents in the Greater Toronto Area are seeing. Other cities in eastern Ontario, such as Brockville, Kingston, Cornwall and Pembroke will see a five per cent increase on average. Wendy Stephanson, deputy city treasurer for the city’s revenue department, blamed the low rates on federal public servant layoffs and a sluggish condo market. Taxes will go up for properties that have been assessed at an increased value of more than the city average of 3.45 per cent. For those houses that sit below the average, taxes could go down. But that is independent of any budgetary tax increase decided by council, Stephanson said. “Those figures will be available in April or May,” she said. The wards that are likely to see a break for the assessment period, which is 2017 to 2020, are Somerset, which saw a change of minus 0.21 per cent, Gloucester-Southgate, with a change of only 0.65 per cent, and Gloucester South-Nepean which sits at a change of 2.93 per cent. Stephanson said the factors that affect the assessed value are: • Location • Lot dimensions • Living area • Age of property • Quality of construction Despite the relatively small change in the overall Ottawa property assessments, some area are red hot, according to Stephanson. Kitchissippi’s increase is 7.35 per cent, Rideau-Goulbourn is up by 5.34 per cent, followed by Stittsville, Kanata North and Kanata South, which will go up by 5.03, 4.16 and 5.02 per cent respectively. College Ward sits pretty close to the average, with an increase of 3.49 per cent. Stephanson said that a one per cent increase in assessed value doesn’t mean a corre-

sponding one per cent increase in property taxes. Of the 291,000 assessments that were mailed out on July 18, 15,000 will have increases of more than 13.45 per cent. Those ones will be sent tax impact let-

ters and encouraged to check the reasons for the assessment. For a house valued at $375,000 during the last assessment period that moved to a value of $425,000 (a 13.6 per cent jump) that would equal

$197 more in taxes during the first year, $193 in the following year, $190 in the third and $187 in the fourth. That doesn’t take into account the council mandated 2.5 per cent increase. Scott Templeton, the regional manager of municipal and stakeholder relations for MPAC, said that residents have 120 days or until Nov. 15 to file a request for reconsideration if they think their assessment is wrong.

NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA The Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law 2016-249 on July 13, 2016, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. City Council considered all submissions, including submissions received after the publication of the staff report, in addition to the planning and other considerations identified in the staff report in its decision on this matter.

Week In Review This past week on Tuesday, Osgoode Village Community Association and I hosted a Town Hall to discuss traffic calming measures in Osgoode. A big thank you to all the residents that came out to talk about speeding in our community, to OVCA for organizing it, to City staff and Cnst. Stephanie Lemieux for participating in the meeting. It was great to receive so much feedback and input from everyone – with a special focus on the flex signs that were illegally removed from Osgoode Main. My office and OVCA are currently working with city staff on actioning what we heard at the meeting right away. I will continue to provide updates in my newsletter, on social media and through my website on next steps and what’s to come. I stopped by the Metcalfe Golf Course to congratulate them on their 40th year in business in our Community. I presented a certificate to Rob Howell, who received it on behalf of owners Tom and Gloria Welch. Metcalfe Golf is a hidden gem in our community that is always willing to give back to the community and help out with fundraisers that benefit all walks of life, from CHEO to the Osgoode Care Centre and many more. Keep up the great work and congratulations on forty years! Holy Trinity Church in Metcalfe held their annual Fish Fry featuring New Zealand Cod. The tasty fish delighted so many on an evening that poured rain off and on! MP Pierre Poilievre and I served up this great food alongside all of the church volunteers. I am looking forward to the next one! The Carleton Russell Holstein Twilight Meeting was held at the Velthuis Family Farm this year in Osgoode. It was an evening that showcased their family’s farm business with some of the most modern methods for milking and breeding. Close to 500 people passed through the grand barn to enjoy the buffet and entertainment. Many thanks to the entire Velthuis family for this wonderful community spirited event! It was certainly a captivating evening shared with many friends. I also really enjoyed the opportunity to meet new people in the agricultural industry! A very special lady in Osgoode celebrated her 100th birthday this week. I dropped in with MP Pierre Poilievre to convey my best wishes to Mrs. Lorena Ferguson. I think she holds the key to longevity! I wish you many more years of good health and prosperity, Lorena! The Lebanese Festival Flag was raised at City Hall earlier in the week, kicking off the Festival that officially started on Wednesday. It is always nice to reflect back on Lebanese culture and stand with pride when the flag is raised. The Ambassador to Lebanon, Sami Haddad, was present to say a few words along with the Festival Chair George Hanna and Mayor Jim Watson.

Goldie Ghamari seeking PC nomination in Carleton riding John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Goldie Ghamari wants to be the next MPP representing this area. But the 31 year old international trade lawyer has a long road to travel to achieve this goal in the 2018 provincial election which is why she is now actively getting her name out there. One of these occasions was a town hall meeting which she hosted at Danby’s Roadhouse in Richmond on Tuesday evening, July 12. But she has also spoken at the Victoria Day fireworks in Ashton, been a judge at the Medieval Festival in Osgoode, and attended community events in Stittsville and other areas of the Carleton riding which is the provincial riding in which she will be seeking the Progressive Conservative nomination. This is a new riding extending from Ashton and Stittsville in the west across the rural south of the city of Ottawa to the Riverside South community and Metcalfe in the east. It is the riding in which Pierre

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Robert Ralph, right, of Richmond gives the “thumbs up” sign on the cupcakes being served to him by Goldie Ghamari, left, who is seeking the PC nomination in the riding of Carleton for the next provincial election. Goldie hosted a town hall meeting at Danby’s Roadhouse in Richmond on Tuesday, July 12. Poilievre was elected as the MP in last fall’s federal election. Goldie has been door knocking throughout parts of the riding already and is relying on social media and

“word of mouth” to get her message out there. And one of her supporters already is Rick Schouten of Richmond who hosted her on a visit to the Schouten farm

near Richmond and was impressed not only with her ability to listen to concerns but also to follow up on them. “I feel she is a young vigorous candidate who has a lot to

offer,” Rick said about Goldie at the town hall meeting in Richmond. For Goldie, following up on concerns is part of being a politician who always keeps in mind who he or she is representing. In her remarks at the town hall meeting in Richmond, Goldie cited hydro, taxes, agriculture and health care as key issues for her. While acknowledging that the sale of the provincially owned Ontario Hydro will be done before the next provincial election in 2018, she noted that rising hydro bills are affecting living costs and are forcing industry closures in the province. She said that the current provincial government has enough tax funding available to it but that is has a “spending problem,” leading to financial problems. She said that the agricultural sector needs access to natural gas and that there needs to be a focus on preserving farmland while allowing rural landowners to do what they want to on the land which

they own. Goldie lamented funds cut from the provincial health care budget, causing the layoff of hundreds of nurses. Goldie explained that she is becoming involved in politics because she believes that now is the time to make a difference. Acknowledging that she could make more money as an international trade lawyer, she instead wants to work hard to make a difference in politics, offering herself as a new, young, fresh face on the political scene. “I am fed up with the way things are,” she said, noting that young people today have difficulty in buying a house and starting a family. She said that she would engage with younger voters, noting that it is their future that is at stake. She said that if action is not taken now, things may never get restored to how they should be with a focus on the day to day problems that people are facing. She pledged to fight for people’s rights and to stand up for the residents of Carleton riding. See FAMILY page 17

There were no injuries when a barn at 1293 Dozois Rd. in Manotick went up in flames on Friday, July 22. Ottawa Fire responded to the fire on Friday morning, getting the blaze in the 14,000 square-foot barn under control just before 11 a.m. The barn was used for tool storage - no people or animals were injured. Damages are estimated at $100,000, according to a release from Ottawa Fire, but no cause has yet been identified.

It also shows how popular and successful the Horticulture Building has become, with hundreds of events taking place each year, many of which are charity and non profit activities.

Do you have your fresh garlic yet?

Whether its kids playing in the park, or skateboarding or just tossing a Frisbee around the Great Lawn, the Park is now really a Park! The fruit trees and apple orchard are now bearing fruit, and the community gardens beside the Horticulture building are fully utilized. The skating court was open more than 100 days last season, as well.

All of the doom and gloom that Glebe grocery stores would close hasn’t happened, or that traffic would be a nightmare on game days, really has not materialized. Yes, there is more traffic at the site, but OSEG has worked with the community to minimize this with their agreement with OC Transpo and operating shuttle services.

City Council recently received its annual report on the Lansdowne Park partnership, and it contains some very good news for Ottawa residents.

Sadly, some on council continue to fight the deal, but they just can’t seem to accept that we have a great success on our hands. (Ironically, some of those same opponents were happy to rush to have their picture taken during the grand opening and plaque unveiling!) So after decades of indecision and dithering, we have transformed this important city asset from a pavement jungle into a work, live, play destination that is serving our community well.

Sports will win over the world

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always easier to by cynical than to expect the best of a challenging situation. And the upcoming Olympics in Brazil is certainly a challenging event. The threat of the Zika virus is prompting some athletes to drop out. There are questions about security. And the thought of Russian secret service agents creeping around in the dark, replacing little bottles of tainted urine with little bottles of clean urine is laughable. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to boost the image of international sports or celebrate the spirit of honest competition. Despite all the bad news, the stories of the individuals who work hard for a chance to take on the world is what really matters. Athletes from here in Ottawa and across the country are getting ready to head south to Rio. And when the moment comes, when the competition begins, they will inspire us. The look of enthusiasm and pure joy on the face of Rosie MacLennan, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag bearer at

the Olympics, momentarily outshines any negative aspects of the international competition that now features all the angst revolving around banning Russian athletes for illegal drug use. MacLennanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts and emotions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with the determination and commitment of her fellow Olympians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will cross the finish line way ahead of the intrigue and frustration caused by a scandal that athletes have been complaining about for years. Honest athletes can look forward to finally being vindicated and compete in the Olympics they way want to. After all of the noise created by so many concerns has died down, athletes will once more find themselves alone with their thoughts, tensing muscles and saying silent prayers as they spend those last few seconds waiting for their turn to test their training and motivation. Any negativity encountered in Rio is just one more hurdle to sail over. Canadian athletes of every stripe will still compete with pride and passion when their moment comes.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stop telling kids the Internet is scary

hen it comes to managing our kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; online lives, parents, teachers and other well-meaning adults may be taking the wrong approach. Since 2001, media literacy and education group MediaSmarts has been surveying parents and kids about attitudes toward online behaviour. Over time, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a disturbing shift in views from both cohorts. The Internet, once seen as a positive educational tool, is now more often presented as a dangerous and scary place for kids to hang out. But by fear-mongering, we may be inadvertently disempowering our kids both online and offline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What research suggests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including wide-ranging research in the U.K. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that kids who are not given opportunities to take risks online donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop the safety skills they need and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse develop resiliency,â&#x20AC;? says Matthew Johnson, director of education at MediaSmarts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means when things do go wrong, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do and it affects them more strongly and more negatively.â&#x20AC;? Research also suggests that parents who spy on their kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; constantly monitoring their online behaviour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are actually putting their kids at greater overall risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids who think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under constant surveillance are not going to go to their parents when they get into trouble,â&#x20AC;? says Johnson. Fear-based media, government and educational campaigns geared

at teaching kids about real risks like cyberbullying and privacy are also having the opposite intended effect, says Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most efforts by governments at all levels to address these issues have been framed in negative, punitive context, relying on scare tactics, all of which are elements that we know make youth tune them out,â&#x20AC;? Johnson told the audience at the Canadian Internet Forum in Ottawa last month. Girls are disproportionately more likely than boys to feel that the online world is dangerous for them, which is having the simultaneous effect of excluding girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from the tech world and the larger digital economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of online spaces that can be unfriendly to girls,â&#x20AC;? says Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we also know these spaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the gaming world for example â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can be important gateways to (the acquisition of) technology

There are a number of ways parents can better empower their kids and make them safer online. For young children, says Johnson, it is a good idea to curate what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing online, ideally sitting down with them to explore and use the Internet. As they age, set clear rules about acceptable and unacceptable online behaviour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our research found that in homes where rules about expected online behaviour had been established â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sharing of personal contact information, insulting someone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kids were less likely to engage in negative behaviours online.â&#x20AC;?

media. Kids should be free to pursue their interests and socialize in order to navigate these risks for themselves, says Johnson, and ultimately, they should feel they can trust the adults in their lives to help them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not blame or punish them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when something goes wrong.

A man on a galloping horse wouldn’t know the difference

ou realize your tablecloth is a little wrinkly. Want me to run the iron over it quickly for you? “Nah. A man on a galloping horse…” Perhaps it means something that my family uses that expression so often, we don’t even bother to finish it. A man on a galloping horse would be travelling past so quickly, he would not notice that my tablecloth has not been ironed. Besides, the plates and platters will soon cover the wrinkles after dinner is served. I do not aspire to be the type of farmwife who has everything just so. I am comfortable with a bit of untidiness. I know the foundation is cleaned. I cleaned it myself. I enjoy cleaning the house

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife – it is my stress relief. I tend to do more of a quick pass-over than a thorough scrubbing, however. I tell myself it will do for now. Eventually the Farmer waits until I’m gone away on a girls’ night or something and he cleans the floors the way his mother taught him. He moves the furniture and uses an entire bottle of floor wax. The mop is stiff like a brick when he is finished, and the floors gleam so that you can see your smile reflected back at you. Bless him.

If you happen to notice me scrubbing floors at odd hours of the day, i.e. 2am, stand back. Give me plenty of room. Chances are I am extremely ticked off about something and that is why I am scouring so fervently. My garden is doing very well this year. That is one area I am not slacking off. I’m staying on top of the weeds, so they don’t get a chance to choke anything out or to take over the garden altogether. Deep cleaning of the house can wait til winter – I have to keep tabs on the

veggies and perennial beds. Usually while I am outside weeding I take a moment to check on our old sheepdog, Chelsea. I make sure she has clean, dry hay in her house and her water bucket is freshly filled. This morning I stepped around the stable to her yard, out of habit. She is no longer there to greet me. At the age of fifteen, she lay down for the last time. Fifteen is a good, ripe age for a border collie. They don’t typically live past ten or twelve years of age, I am told. Like our old Gordon Setter Cody, who lived to seventeen, I think there is a lot to be said for having a dog spend most of his time outside. When it was minus thirty or plus thirty we would make sure the dogs were comfortable, either bringing Cody into the house or Chelsea into the stable,

I want to do (or to focus my semi-retired Farmer on) is repair our screen doors. Sammy the big male cat has discovered that if he runs full-throttle into the sliding patio door, the screen will rip from its frame, the plexiglass scratch-guard will flip up and – presto! – instant cat door. The screen doors on our dining porch also need repair – or replacing. They have bubbled and broken in the frost, so that it appears a large clawed animal ripped a hole in them. I pointed them out to the Farmer and he just shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s a superficial wound. And a man on a galloping horse would never notice.”

but for the most part they preferred to be outside. Their doghouses were well insulated with hay and placed out of the wind and rain or snow. They grew thick coats in the winter and in summer they dug cool holes in the soil under a shady tree. “We are now dogless,” the Farmer said. I know that bothers him. Especially when he sees a three-foot-long fisher slinking across the road towards our property. We have dozens of turkey chicks happily roaming around the inside of the stable. We would like them to make it all the way to Thanksgiving. A dog would notify us of an intruder. For now we are relying on the cats. Fat lot of help they are.

While most admitted the signs were an eyesore, some expressed a view that the signs were worth that for their effectiveness. One resident reported a significant slow in traffic while the signs were in place. Others disagreed with the method entirely. “Ticket the people who do the crime,” said one resident. “Don’t punish everyone else.” Still others said it was not up to the residents to decide which methods should be implemented and which should not: that is up to the city’s experts to decide. Wanted or not, the group had an opportunity to brainstorm areas where flex signs might be most effective in calming traffic within the village. Suggestions included installations in front of Osgoode Public School, in front of the Osgoode Youth Association (O-YA) and on Osgoode Main Street just after Nixon Street as traffic comes into the village. Other locations could include Elizabeth Street or on the other side of Osgoode Main Street at Nixon Street as

traffic heads toward the water. CURRENT MEASURES

Until a complete traffic calming solution can be created for Osgoode Village, Darouze said there are some measures currently in place that have proved effective. Darouze has collected data from five existing speed boards throughout Osgoode ward. These boards display a vehicle’s speed as it passes, both recording the data (not the license plate) and alerting the driver – perhaps reminding them to slow down in the process. In April and May, Darouze said the data shows that only 28 per cent of drivers respected the posted speed limit. Additionally, 85 per cent of those speeding were going 35 kilometres over the speed limit or more. In June, the locations of the speed boards were adjusted at the request of OVCA. That month, 40 per cent of drivers respected the posted speed limit. On July 12, Darouze said the Ottawa Police conducted a radar gun count. The results showed 67 per cent of drivers

613.221.6233 • ottawacommunitynews.com

12 Manotick News - Thursday, July 28, 2016

were now obeying the speed limit. “The reason is that there is more awareness for drivers,” Darouze said, touting the effectiveness of the speed boards in alerting drivers to their real driving habits. In the near future, Darouze said speed board presence will be doubled in the Osgoode ward. The new speed boards will go a step further with a coloured display: green for speeds within the limit, yellow for those only a few kilometres per hour off and red for those who are actively speeding. Darouze said he also wants to encourage residents to participate in the “Make the Right Call” campaign to alert police of speeding in the village. “The City of Ottawa is massive,” he said. “We cannot have police on every corner all the time.” Instead, both Darouze and Cont. Stephanie Lemieux said they urge residents to call the non-emergency line to report speeding. These calls can create a hotspot for police, altering them to the need for police presence.

“It’s possible to have police come out,” Lemieux said. “But they’re not going to come out unless you call.” She added that even though residents know there is a speeding problem in Osgoode, the police are unaware. “As far as I’m concerned you don’t have a speeding problem because no one is calling,” she said. “We rely on the community to let us know what’s going on so we can do our jobs,” she continued. Residents are encouraged to call 613-236-1222 ext. 7300 to report speeding events. WHAT’S NEXT

Darouze said he would take all of the comments and concerns from the meeting to staff to be considered. Darouze also mentioned he is currently working with city staff to create a couple of marked pedestrian crosswalks across Osgoode Main Street to keep children and seniors safe. “It is good that we have a conversation going,” he said. “We just need to keep it going.”

Emerson tests out Mary’s dislike for mud pout

y dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table, where, when laid out on the platter, I wouldn’t dare cast an eye, knowing perfectly well, I would be sick as a dog at the very sight. Mother knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead. My three brothers would wander down to the river this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories and would have a pail full, ready for Mother to cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “Still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.” My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big, black iron fry pan, and vision the fish,

which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in the pan was because they were still alive, which distressed me even further. The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when, once again, a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in

front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air like gossamer clouds, and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery. Father had peeled off his plaid shirt, and Emerson went upstairs and came down in his underwear. I couldn’t wait to crawl into the fresh cool flour bag sheets and hopefully feel a bit of night air come in the window near the bed, and put the thought of the ugly mud pout out of my mind. Usually my brothers complained about going to bed. They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen.

I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. And then my feet touched something ... wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed bloody murder; Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar. Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout

first. It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey to change the sheets, even though they had been put on fresh that day, and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout. I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block, and the ugly mud pout. And long into the night, I thought I could hear Emerson downstairs in the kitchen, laughing his head off!

HERBIE (ID# A189648)

Tips For A Happy And Healthy Indoor Kitty Even though cats may love to have the freedom of running around outside, so too would dogs whose freedom we strictly control. In fact, small children would relish the opportunity to roam freely all day, with little or no regard for their safety. In today’s world this freedom is just not possible. Cats crave familiarity, structure and routine, which is exactly what an indoor life has to offer, with the added bonus of safety from all the dangers that await them outside! By ensuring your cat has the necessary home environment, proper diet, enrichment items, and interactive play, your cat can live a long and happy life indoors. Whether your cat is already a strictly indoor cat or a newly transitioned one, you will want to ensure your home has all the items your cat requires to keep her

feeling safe and mentally stimulated. This includes: 1. A refuge room where your cat can go to feel safe during times of anxiety (loud noises, unfamiliar visitors, construction, etc.) 2. Places to climb and perch on, such as a cat tree or a window perch 3. An appropriate scratch post 4. Solo toys that can keep kitty entertained on her own, such as toy mice, ping pong balls and even paper bags 5. A litter box that is kept well cleaned, as cats have meticulous litter box preferences 6. Interactive toys, such as cat wands, that can be used by you during play time with your pet Learn more great pet tips at www.ottawahumane.ca/ your-pet. Pet of the Week: Herbie (ID# A189648) Meet Herbie, a friendly and playful cat looking for his purr-fect match. Herbie is an energetic boy who loves any toy that he can chase around or pounce on. He’s a chatty cat that enjoys telling you all about his day. He’d prefer a quiet home with older children or adults. Are you the one Herbie has been waiting for? For more information on Herbie and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Pear pizza on the grill a summer appetizer This appetizer is perfect for casual entertaining at the cottage or in your backyard. It goes well with either a VQA white wine or an Ontario craft beer. Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Grilling time: 8 minutes Serves 8 to 10 (Makes 40 pieces) INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced Ontario shallots • 3 tbsp (45 mL) balsamic vinegar • 1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup • 1 pkg (650 g) pizza dough, thawed if frozen • 3/4 cup (175 mL) crumbled blue cheese (113 oz/.104 kg) • 3 bartlett pears, peeled and sliced thinly PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

In small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots; reduce heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally until golden brown and very soft, five to eight minutes. Add vinegar and maple syrup; simmer gently until shallots are glazed and most of the liquid has evaporated, five to six minutes. Remove

from heat. Lightly oil a clean counter. Roll or stretch out dough into two 6- x 12-inch (15 x 30 cm) rectangles. Preheat barbecue to high. Place both dough rectangles on grill, close lid and reduce heat to mediumhigh. Grill for two minutes; flip over and grill another two minutes. If dough puffs up, press down with a metal spatula. Remove from grill. Using metal spatula, spread cheese evenly over pizza crusts. Arrange pears, then shallots evenly over cheese. Return pizzas to grill, reduce heat to low and grill until dough is cooked through and slightly charred on the bottom, two to four minutes. Remove from grill, cool slightly and cut into pieces.

She explained what lies ahead for her. To run as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the 2018 provincial election in Carleton riding, she must first win the party’s nomination. A nomination meeting is expected to be held sometime in 2017 at which only members of the Progressive Conservative party in the riding can vote. Membership is $10 per year. This may be a highly contested nomination battle because right now there is no incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP in the riding. Right now parts of the new Carleton riding are represented by MPP Lisa MacLeod and by MPP Jack MacLaren. MPP MacLeod has already announced that she will be running in a Nepean riding in the 2018 provincial election while MPP MacLaren is expected to run in the new riding encompassing Kanata and West Carleton. This leaves the new riding of Carleton with no incumbent MPP. Goldie came to

Canada when she was just one year old when her parents left everything behind and immigrated to Canada, believing that Canada would give their children more opportunities in life. The family arrived in Montreal with only two suitcases and only $50 but her parents worked hard, became Canadian citizens and instilled in Goldie and her sister the importance of respecting and living by Canadian values. Her parents taught their children that success comes through hard work, determination and sacrifice. Her sister is now an aerospace engineer while she is an international trade lawyer. As a lawyer, she saw the unfair policies and laws affecting her clients. She realized that instead of helping just one person at a time, she could help everyone by becoming involved in politics and working to change unfair policies and laws in Ontario. She wants to use her advocacy skills to fight for the concerns of Carleton residents at Queens Park. Golsa “Goldie” Ghamari was called to the Bar of

Ontario in June 2013 after graduating from the Faculty of Common Law at the University of Ottawa. She has worked as an International Trade and Public Affairs Legal Advisor, doing work at the Federal Court and at the Federal Court of Appeal as well as other work. She also founded her own law practice, Golsa Ghamari Professional Corporation, which is a boutique international trade and commercial litigation law firm. Goldie is a Board member of the Nepean Conservative Association and worked as a campaign lawyer for the Conservative campaign in the Ottawa West-Nepean riding in the 2015 federal election. She is a Board member of the Women’s Business Network of Ottawa as well as vice president of the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization. Goldie enjoys scuba diving and CrossFit and besides participating in fundraising runs with her dog, she likes to travel, read and play retro board games. Her husband Wayne teaches at Carleton University.
