News - Boaters could once again enjoy a dock at the Manotick boat launch if Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt and several residents get their way.

Moffatt is working with staff in the Rural Affairs office to see if there is any money for a city-owned dock at the boat launch off South River Drive.

The launch lost its dock two summers ago after the city bought the small piece of land beside Bridge Street from Parks Canada in the fall of 2011.

The city had been in talks with the federal department since 2004 to take over the boat launch, because Parks Canada no longer wanted the launch and the city didn’t own the foot of its own bridge.

But the deal didn’t include the dock – something Moffatt said the city didn’t realize at the time – and in spring 2012 the seasonal structure didn’t return.

Since then, regular users of the launch have been clamouring for a new dock in the name of safety.

“The water gets deep quickly and it’s not easy to get into a boat (without a dock),” said Manotick resident and avid boater Janice Domaratzki.

Domaratzki said she has witnessed an elderly lady almost end up in the drink, and another boater without anywhere to tie up had to trust his boat to stay put while he quickly parked his truck.

“Everyone’s launching on a wing and a prayer,” Domaratzki said.

www.OttawaCommunityNews.com

There are several launches in the area; Manotick Marina and Hearst Marina both offer the service for a $20 fee, and there’s a free city-owned launch in Kars.

Further north, boaters can use the launch at Eccolands Park.

But Domaratzki said Manotick residents deserve an accessible launch of their own, right in the village.

Specifically, they want it for free.

Before the dock was removed, the nearby Long Island Aquatic Club had its summer staff collect a $10 fee to use the launch on behalf of the city of Ottawa, even when it was owned by Parks Canada.

That practice has stopped since the dock was removed, but Moffatt said it’s not clear if a fee could be reinstated once a new dock is installed.

“It doesn’t make sense to charge people for a boat launch when there’s no dock, because what are you paying for,” he said. “But if we put in a dock and it requires maintenance we may have to do something.”

Greely residents Fred Bellegarde and Luci Leblanc said they would be willing to pay a fee if it meant they had the use of a dock.

As they put their boat in the water at the Manotick launch on July 24, they said a dock would be helpful so they wouldn’t have to climb in from the water.

“It’s annoying,” Leblanc said. “And fibreglass on rocks isn’t a good thing.”

News - After coming back from his last tour in Afghanistan, Master Cpl. Bill Nachuk was in a dark place.

Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the active Canadian Forces member

presented by

and veteran of additional tours in Israel, Syria and Bosnia, couldn’t reconnect with life in Canada.

In danger of being discharged, unable to leave his house or handle a growing anxiety, Nachuk attempted suicide four times over a sixmonth period.

“(You lose) everything you enjoyed about living,” he said.

“You just want to hibernate.”

The medication he was prescribed only made him feel numb, he said. “It doesn’t change your life habits … it numbs you.”

Manotick community raises $6,800 for PTSD program Continued from the front

But Gambler, a white Australian cattle dog with black and brown speckles and a black patch of fur over his right eye, saved Nachuk from being “either in the ground or jobless and roaming the streets.”

BUILT EACH OTHER UP

Sitting in the basement of the Manotick Legion, one wouldn’t guess that Nachuk had once been incapable of smiling, laughing or even talking with another person two years earlier.

Gambler, a rescued dog, was trained as a medical service canine and was the first service dog allowed on a military base with an active member. The pooch is Nachuk’s constant companion and a source of comfort.

While talking in the legion, Gambler doesn’t take his eyes off Nachuk. He sits or lies next to his handler, always touching.

“The dog gives you a sense of protection,” said Nachuk, now posted to CFB Gagetown, as he stroked the dog’s fur. “He won’t leave my side.”

In a two-year time period,

Gambler has helped Nachuk turn his life around.

“I took a gamble on him, he took a gamble on me and we built each other up,” said Nachuk. “He saved my life, he saved my career.

“You find yourself laughing (at the dog’s antics) … It’s behaviour modification; it’s retraining you,” he added. “Having a dog forces you to get out of the house. It forces you to interact with people.”

Now in the top 10 of his rank, Nachuk is on a mission to raise awareness about the MSAR (Manitoba Search And Rescue) elite PTSD program,

which trains and matches service dogs with Canadian soldiers and veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder.

“We’ve lost a lot of ourselves,” said Nachuk. “Help us get our lives back.”

So far, 82 PTSD service dogs have been certified and matched with soldiers. The MSAR elite PTSD service dog program is hoping to raise enough funds to open a treatment centre in Winnipeg, where more dogs can receive training to help more Canadian Forces members from across the country.

SERVICE DOGS

The MSAR elite service dog program was developed

by George Leonard, a certified master trainer, eight years ago. Leonard, a First Nations band constable and elite search commander for the province of Manitoba, and his trainers volunteer their time to train the dogs at Leonard’s home.

Many of the dogs come from various rescue organizations and can be trained in up to three levels of service, which costs between $7,000 and $15,000 per dog. The organization is well off in terms of canines to train, but the funding is another matter. So far it survives entirely on donations and fundraising.

A number of organizations have stepped forward, such as CVet’s Pets, a volunteer notfor profit started by Winnipeg Blue Bomber Chris Cvetkovic, which donates the starter kits for dogs in training; West Jet, which provides employee passes for flights; Wounded Warriors and Veterans UNNato.

But Leonard said he’s expecting a shortfall of more than $165,000 this year. He added it would be great if Veterans Affairs or the Royal Canadian Legion took the project under their wings.

“It’d be nice if they could cover those costs. It takes time away for us if we have to do all the fundraising,” he said.

“They could fund this in a heartbeat.”

NEW!

1-YEAR CONTRACT

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

George Leonard, pictured with his service dog Benny, created the MSAR elite PTSD service dog program, which pairs Canadian Forces members and veterans with a canine companion. So far, 82 dogs have been certified after completing rigorous training.

Leonard has his own service dog, Benny. As an emergency service worker, Leonard has seen things that haunt him. His PTSD manifests itself as aggression but Benny helps him to stay calm.

“He prevents me from strangling people. My PTSD is aggression,” said Leonard, a former boxer with martial arts training. “I’m the last person you want to get upset. That’s the way I look at it.”

Leonard’s goal is to help anyone with PTSD who wants to be paired with a pooch. If the program can help 130 soldiers, it’s not just the individual being helped – it’s also 130 families who have been affected by PTSD, he said.

“These are our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers. They have the right to return to the way of life they had before they went into service.”

So far, 82 dogs have been certified, another 37 are in the process of training and 40 more are on the waiting list. Each dog is reassessed every year; if a person’s condition changes, the dog receives additional training to match the needs of its handler, said Leonard.

“The more we can do in the program the better,” he said.

“They’ve gone and done their part, protected our way and our rights. Now that they’re coming home … we need to provide for them.”

FIRST OF MANY

Bruce Guilbeault, assistant manager at the LCBO in Manotick, saw a newscast about Leonard and the service dogs a few months ago and wanted to help.

A number of fundraisers came together: the Manotick Legion hosted a barbecue and silent auction, while Frank D’Addario, owner of La Piazza, hosted an evening of live entertainment and bidding on July 20. LCBO staff Vicki Chesney, Angie Roberts, Jennifer Williams and Brock Sandilands also helped organize the day-long event, which raised a total of $6,800, said Guilbeault.

Guilbeault is hoping to make the event an annual fundraiser, saying “this will be the first of many to come.”

Think outside the soap box at this year’s derby emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Having a need for speed isn’t the only way to take home a trophy at this year’s soap box derby in Manotick.

Organizers have added several new awards categories to the third annual event on Sunday, Aug. 25 in recognition of all the hard work kids put into their carts.

This year, along with awards for the fastest carts, first-, second- and third-place trophies will be awarded to the most creative carts, based on the originality of the cart’s shape, materials and decoration.

One winner will also be selected for the best engineering design, a decision weighted with the young driver’s involvement in and knowledge of the building process.

Also new this year, the driver with the funniest cart can also take home a trophy, whether their cart goes the fastest or not.

“Ours is a fun derby, it’s not primarily for racing competition,” said organizer Allan Haan.

“No doubt the best cart will win, but it’s also a family fun event. The whole thing started out in summer time to get kids away from their iPhones and computers and do something with their hands and minds.”

Last year nearly 50 kids zoomed down Beaverwood Road in hopes of taking home the top trophy.

Relying solely on the quality of their cart and the force of gravity to help them go the fastest, Aidan Vena came first with Anthony Carriere and Stephanie Rondeau follow-

ing in second place. Third place went to Travis Reside.

Registration is now open for the derby, which takes place alongside the Manotick Village Community Association’s annual picnic in the park event.

While soap box kits are available for purchase in hardware stores, Haan encouraged families to try their hand at making something unique.

“One of the important objectives of the derby is to encourage kids to put personal effort into building a cart,” Haan wrote in the awards document.

“Cart specifications exist for reasons of safety and handling, but significant latitude is permitted as to what a cart may look like. Therefore, we award trophies and prizes to encourage kids to get involved in making their carts unique and special.”

Older siblings and parents can get their hands dirty helping a participant find recycled materials to build their homemade cart, he added.

Of course, for those who don’t have access to resources to build their own cart, the association has seven ready-

made carts available so no child has to miss out.

“It enables kids that otherwise wouldn’t have access to a cart to also participate,” Haan said.

The carts are sponsored by various local organizations including Watson’s Mill, Home Hardware, the Manotick Lions, the Manotick Kiwanis, Your Independent Grocer and Giant Tiger.

When building a cart, more than 20 specifications must be followed in order for the vehicle to pass inspection on the morning of the race, which begins registration at 8 a.m.

Most importantly, the cart must have four wheels, be gravity powered and operated by a driver facing forward and using their hands and feet.

Other specifications ban wooden wheels, limit width and length and mandate clearances, wheel size and steering mechanisms. No family should show up with an untested cart or driver.

The race will run between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Aug. 25, with each cart running four times.

It costs $25 to participate, and kids should be pre-registered by Aug. 15.

Registration and cart specification forms are available on the association’s website, www.manotickvca.org.

wait until the spring, Gough said.

The club is able to start reaching out to property owners whose land could provide an alternate route to keep ATVs off public roads like Blanchfield Road. Gough had scheduled a meeting last week with officials from Carleton University, since the university owns a tract of land that could provide a short detour off the main roadway.

Osgoode Coun.

Doug Thompson offered to set up a working group with a couple of concerned residents and a couple of ATV club members in order to establish an ongoing dialog about issues. That hasn’t materialized yet, said Blanchfield Road resident Heather Hamilton. But even when the group does start meeting, Hamilton said she isn’t convinced it will do any good.

“You think you will be taken seriously, but in reality a committee is meant to deflect us and preoccupy us,” she said.

Several Blanchfield Road residents are in the process of drafting an official letter to the councillor to ensure their concerns are clearly identified and recorded.

Without trails, ATV drivers are confined to private properties. The two-year pilot project in Osgoode is the city’s first foray into allowing ATVs on public roads and road allowances and could set the stage for future trail networks in other areas of the city. ®

Savour the flavour of Manotick Emma Jackson

Community - Sweet, sour or a little spicy?

Residents and visitors in Manotick can experience the many flavours of one of Ottawa’s largest villages on Aug. 17 during the annual Taste of Manotick event.

Beginning at 4 p.m., Manotick Main Street will come alive with busking, barbecues and bands.

The band Tequila will return for a second year, as will several other local acts.

This year the Dan Dunlop Band and local group Terry McGovern and the Retrosonics will also take one of two stages at either end of the street, which is blocked to traffic for the evening. Street entertainment has not yet been confirmed.

Throughout the night, visitors can sample food, drinks and products from the many businesses that line the village’s established core.

From speciality gift stores to clothing boutiques to a wide range of restaurants, visitors can enjoy tastings, samples, draws, and demonstrations.

The Fireplace Station will offer a barbecue, local bars will extend their patios onto the street and a fashion show will run on stage between musical acts.

“It’s just fun,” said Manotick Business Improvement Area director Donna Smith, who organizes the event. “We’re meeting the needs of what our visitors want and it’s also helping the businesses that get involved.”

Smith said the event has grown rapidly since it started several years ago.

Mayor dismisses poll, referendum on casino Watson calls it ‘an easy way to duck out of making tough decisions’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa’s mayor hasn’t yet asked the province if it would allow two gambling sites in Ottawa, but don’t expect him to undertake a poll or R0012216466_0725

referendum in the meantime.

In an interview last week, Mayor Jim Watson again dismissed the idea of gauging public support for expanding gaming options in Ottawa.

On Aug. 26, city councillors are set to discuss

whether to pursue two gambling zones for Ottawa – one that maintains the existing slots and approved gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, and another zone that would allow a new casino in another location in the city.

But some councillors, including Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, have expressed concern that decisions about expanding gaming options in Ottawa are being made in the absence of a true sense of the public’s opinion on the issue.

“This is confirmation of a pre-determined outcome that we want more gaming in Ottawa,” Deans said after the July 17 council vote to continue the discussion at the finance and economic development committee. She noted the city should do more consultation on the matter before coming to that conclusion. That’s why she voted in favour of sending the matter to FEDco on Aug. 26.

That’s not the way the mayor sees it.

Watson has been receiving a great deal of feedback in other

The debate over the future of gambling in Ottawa continues with call for public input. ways, whether it’s through letters, social media or simply people stopping him on the street and at the mall.

A poll would only take a sample of a few hundred people, the mayor said, and he’s already heard from around a thousand people.

Alternately, a referendum would be “an easy way for politicians to duck out of making tough decisions themselves,” Watson said.

City council will ultimately have to make that decision, he

said.

“I think it abdicates our responsibility as leaders … (if) every time a tough issue comes along we do a referendum,” Watson said.

If the province and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation aren’t willing to allow two gaming zones in Ottawa, Watson said the city will revert back to a plan to protect gaming at the raceway – an approach recently supported by the city’s finance and economic development

committee.

The mayor said he is hoping to meet with or speak to officials from both the OLG and the province, but provincial officials will be more important. “Ultimately, the province runs the OLG,” Watson said.

Still, the casino issue isn’t the most serious matter council has dealt with recently, Watson said.

“I don’t consider this a major issue like some of the ones we deal with, like light rail,” he said.

Respect is a two-way street

T

here are no winners in the case of an OC Transpo bus driver who was fired for yelling at a customer.

Paul Gagnier was dismissed in November 2011 after a verbal confrontation with a young man who antagonized Gagnier, although he may not have done so intentionally.

The yelling was captured on video and posted online, resulting in thousands of views and pressure on OC Transpo to act.

Our transit service then over-reacted by firing Gagnier.

An arbitrator considered all the factors in play and decided he did not deserve to lose his job because of the mitigating factors in Gagnier’s life.

Fortunately the end result – delivered by an arbitrator this week – righted some of the wrongs.

Gagnier will be rehired, but only to a non-driving position, so he does not deal directly with OC Transpo’s customers.

The arbitrator’s report notes that Gagnier had 24 years of service – suggesting he knew his job well and was valued.

He did, however, become the primary caregiver for his sick father in the months before the shouting incident and had been spat on by a customer four

days earlier.

Arbitrators are paid to take into the big picture into consideration, and it’s clear from the written report released last week that the job was carried out diligently. OC Transpo went too far in firing a good employee who snapped. No one was physically harmed by Gagnier’s over-reaction, although some nerves were jarred.

The arbitrator’s ruling treats Gagnier fairly while ensuring the city’s bus riders won’t deal directly with him again.

In hindsight, it would have been best if this position set down by the arbitrator was the same one taken by OC Transpo in the aftermath of the shouting match video making into the public realm.

Firing can sometimes be the right thing, but it’s always worth exploring other options first.

The only piece of the puzzle still missing is a clear idea of what other actions constitute a firing offence when an OC Transpo employee acts out of turn. The arbitration decision doesn’t deliver that information, so it’s critically important that the management and the union sit down to hammer out a code of conduct or expectations for staff.

We expect transit riders to be respectful and we must expect no less from OC Transpo’s employees.

For the good of everyone – just get the jab

M

y lovely daughter – let’s call her Little Darling – had her 12month vaccinations this week.

Three needles consecutively, a big scream (or three) and it was all over in less than 90 seconds.

Will she be traumatized? No. Is she at higher risk for developmental problems? No. Will she develop autism? Most definitely not.

Unfortunately, there is an entire contingent of the population that puts all of us at risk – those who aren’t getting their children vaccinated.

In early July, Ottawa Public Health and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario distributed a city-wide memo stating that a case of measles in an unimmunized child has exposed up to 50 families in the city to a disease that is almost entirely preventable.

Canada’s childhood vaccination rate hovers around 84 per cent, which is dangerously low. In April, Canadian Press reported that a Unicef study on the health of children in affluent nations put Canada’s childhood vaccination rate at the bottom of a list of 30 countries.

The report went onto question the validity of the findings, due to an absence of a national vaccine registry in Canada.

But there is no question that vaccine uptake

is decreasing, evidenced by a handful of high profile outbreaks of measles and rubella in recent years.

The anti-vaccination movement gained steam following the publication of a falsified study by a British doctor and surgeon in the late 1990s that linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to autism and inflammatory bowel syndrome.

Despite the fact that the study’s main author, Andrew Wakefield, was found to be a complete fraud and had his medical license revoked, the damage from the media frenzy around his original falsified findings continues today.

Doctors and scientists have tried and failed to reproduce the results originally published

by Wakefield and his colleagues in the British medical journal, The Lancet. The journal officially retracted the study in 2010.

Even those who have dedicated their lives to discovering the root causes of autism have invalidated Wakefield’s claims.

“The evidence just isn’t there to support a linkage between vaccines and the cause of autism,” Margaret Spoelstra of Autism Ontario told CTV News on July 23.

What’s most disgusting is that people – including high-profile people – continue to tout Wakefield’s claims as truth. Former Playboy Playmate, and the newest host of U.S. talk show The View, Jenny McCarthy, has actually claimed the MMR vaccine caused autism in her child and that she “cured” it by giving the child a gluten-free diet.

At the end of July, Toronto Public Health waged a Twitter campaign against McCarthy, asking The View, to reconsider having an antivaccine advocate in a position of significant influence.

For vaccines to be effective requires a critical mass in uptake. Eighty-four per cent isn’t enough.

It’s been just 58 years since the creation of the polio vaccine, which means there are people today still living with the devastating

effects of a disease that should now be eradicated.

What’s it going to take to get people to reject the falsehoods of McCarthy, Wakefield and others?

With the steady decline in childhood vaccination uptake, it may just be a deadly outbreak of some kind. But really, with all the medical evidence in support of vaccines, do we really need someone to die before we give our collective heads a shake and give the kids the jab?

Manotick barbecue raises the roof in Kenya emma.jackson@metroland.com

One roofer from a project down the street bought 13 hamburgers and half a dozen hot dogs for his team, and was delighted to discover that he was supporting a building project across the world.

“It was fun to tell him that the money they spent on these hot dogs and hamburgers is raising a roof in Kenya,” Chung said.

Elimu means “education” in Swahili. Along with the nursery school, the charity also supports a home for 14 children all related through one grandmother and sponsors seven young people to take a two-year sewing course in Malindi.

Since Chung currently covers the charity’s administrative costs and all management, administration and PR professionals volunteer their time, all donation dollars are directed to the three projects. To get involved or to make a donation, visit elimu.ca.

Kenyan kids attend school at the Upendo Nursery School for students ages three to six. A Manotick fundraiser on July 20 collected about $1,800 for the school, which is almost complete.

Cal

News – A community nursery school in Kenya is now just a few thousand dollars away from completion thanks to a fundraising barbecue in Manotick.

Elimu, an Ottawa-based charity that supports education in rural Kenya, has spent the past two years building Upendo Nursery School for kids aged three to six. As donations come in, various additions are built onto the compound, which includes three classrooms and an office.

With only $4,000 to go before the school was finally finished, M&M Meat Shops at the corner of Bridge Street and River Road hosted Elimu’s latest money-raising effort with a catered barbecue on July 20.

Along with selling hot dogs and hamburgers, the event organizers raffled off an original rendering of Dickinson House made by Barrhaven artist Conrad Stoltz, sold aprons made by Kenyan students enrolled in a sewing course, and set out a general donation box.

“All of those activities together brought us to the $1,800 mark,” said Elimu director Nina Chung, who said she was impressed with the success.

“It’s the very first time we’ve run an event of this kind so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. We were hoping for about $1,000.”

The money will allow workers in Kenya to begin plastering and painting the entire building.

The final $2,200 still outstanding will finish off those tasks and finance a gate to secure the compound.

Chung first met the Upendo Nursery School management team in 2010. A community nursery school had already been running since 2004, but it was held in a large mud hut with a leaky roof and crumbling walls. There was only one open room to accommodate three levels of kindergarten with three teachers and 80 kids.

Management asked Chung to help them put up a good building for their school. Today, they operate with three full classrooms, private toilets and a fence around their compound.

The office is nearly finished.

About $20,000 has already been collected for the project, primarily through Global Childcare Services

day cares in Ottawa. Elimu marketing volunteer Suzanne Stoltz’s children attend Canyon Walk School Age Program in Riverside South, which is run by Global Childcare.

The connection fostered a meeting with Global’s executive director Arlene Ross.

In the two years that followed, the agency embraced a wide variety of fundraising activities. Each time another infusion of cash came through, another phase of the Kenyan school was completed.

“The project has been piece by piece,” Chung said.

Chung said the Manotick barbecue was a nice change because they were able to reach out to new faces who weren’t necessarily aware of Elimu and its goals. Along with the usual supporters, soccer families, local residents and people driving through stopped to enjoy a quick lunch.

News - Par for the course just won’t do for the secondannual golf tournament in support of the Live and Learn Resource Centre.

Organizers are hoping to raise $10,000 at the Aug. 14 event at the Metcalfe Golf Course, $3,000 more than last year. The money would help expand their programming for families in the area.

“We’d love to run the School’s Cool program again because it’s very popular,” said office manager Leigh Gillies.

The resource centre located in Metcalfe’s old town hall lost its United Way funding last year and has since struggled to provide kindergarten readiness programs.

The Live and Learn Resource Centre provides services and playgroups to families with young children in the rural south area of Ottawa. It is part of Rural Family Connections, a non-profit umbrella group which runs the resource

Last year’s inaugural tournament collected $7,000 from just 40 participants. Gillies said she’d like to see 50 golfers this year.

The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 1:15 p.m. The $100 registration fee includes a power cart, 18 holes of golf and a catered roast beef

dinner. Throughout the evening, prizes will be handed out and a silent auction will put golf clubs, signed sports memorabilia and original art up for grabs. Organizers are still looking for event, hole and cart sponsors as well as donations for the silent auction.

Canadians understand that our Senate, as it stands today, must either change or even vanish like the old upper houses of our provinces. The process of implementing change can be difficult and complex, given that the Senate is a part of our Constitution.

This is why our government has requested further clarification from the Supreme Court regarding what change is possible. We are expecting an answer on that next year.

I have always believed in individual freedom through less government. I will continue to work towards this goal as your Member of Parliament, and in my new role as Minister of State (Democratic Reform).

It is a great honour to be given this responsibility. I look forward to the upcoming challenges and the successes we will have in implementing true Senate reform. The Conservatives are the only party who have a real plan for this reform, including strict new accountability rules to prevent further abuse of taxpayer dollars. I believe in the Prime Minister’s democratic reform agenda, and will work to make it happen.

While my new responsibilities will keep me busy, I will continue to serve as your Member of Parliament with the same dedication as before. I am grateful for all the support that many of you have given me throughout my terms representing Nepean-Carleton and, moving forward, I welcome your thoughts on how I can best do my work.

News - For Richard Jurweicz, cycling is freedom.

It’s a feeling he’s trying to give future Canadians living with multiple sclerosis, by raising money to help with research and treatment.

The Crystal Beach native has been cycling with the MS Bike Tour since its inception 24 years ago – raising almost $90,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

Jurweicz started cycling because his wife was diagnosed with the disease after an attack that left her without feeling from the waist down.

That was in 1986.

“We were on the way

His wife has been in a wheelchair for the last seven years. Despite her limited mobility, she continues to work.

“A lot of healthcare workers have urged her to stay home, but she said if she stays home I might as well put her in a coffin,” Jurweicz said.

“Her mobility may be

affected, but her mind is fine.”

According to the MS society, an estimated 75,000 Canadians are affected by MS. The symptoms are unpredictable and vary greatly depending on the person, but typically include loss of mobility and motor function.

It’s usually diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40.

Jurweicz said he has spent a lot of time over

and emotional support for those suffering with MS and their families.

Jurweicz said he hopes to reach the $100,000 mark in funds he personally raised when he participates in the 25th MS Bike Tour next year.

The cycle itself starts at the Metcalfe Arena on Aug. 10 at 8 a.m., taking riders on a 100-kilometre, two-day route to Cornwall.

Jurweicz, one of the top five fundraisers every year, said it’s a wellrun event, with a checkpoint that includes juice and snack every 15 to 20 kilometres. Halfway through the route, there’s a barbecue with live music.

Participants then get a dinner and celebration as a reward for their hard work in Cornwall.

Last year the tour hosted 600 cyclists and raised $454,000 locally.

This year the goal is $470,000. For more information on the tour, visit mssociety.ca/ottawa/biketour. /richardj.

In 2010, he received the Caregiver of the Year Award from the MS society for his commitment to caring for his wife.

He continues to speak to Canadian parliamentarians about legislation that impacts caregivers and their families.

“I spoke to a working group on the hill last year about new legislation that would create tax leniency and other supports for caregivers,” Jurweicz said.

The society is a great support, he added. There are equipment loaning libraries and programs like the one at the Nepean Sailing Club where his wife can get out on the water in a boat without her wheelchair or another one where she can go gliding in a twoseater plane.

The most important part, he said, is the connection with people who can provide the mental

Greely residents Fred Bellegarde and Luci Leblanc put their boat in the water at the Manotick boat launch. They said a dock would help protect their boat and keep them from having to climb in from the water.

Launch dock could cost $3,600 Continued from the front

In an effort to move things along, Domaratzki has collected three quotes for a replacement dock similar to what was there before, which she received from local marinas and contractors.

The most reasonable is about $3,600 including tax and delivery for a 5x30 foot cedar dock and ramp.

Moffatt said he has passed the quotes to staff to see if any funding exists for this kind of project.

“There isn’t a specific budget for a boat launch but we have docks in other places so we’re just trying to see how we can do it with our existing resources,” Moffatt said.

If the city has no money for such a project, Domaratzki is confident it can get done

through other means.

“It’s not a lot of money.

We could raise $3,600 in six hours in this community,” she said.

Moffatt said maintenance costs and other considerations haven’t been discussed yet, and that a timeline is not yet clear. Domaratzki said she would like to see a dock installed in time for the 2014 boating season.

Moroccan spiced chicken makes for a peachy meal Lifestyle - Influenced by a Moroccan tagine, this dish has lots of nuts and fruit and is very aromatic and flavourful.

Preparation time: 45 minutes. Cooking time: 45 minutes. Marinating time: two hours. Serves four.

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 2 lemons, zested and juiced • 50 ml (1/4 cup) almonds or hazelnuts • 250 ml (1 cup) fresh mint, torn • 25 ml (2 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil • Freshly ground black pepper

Ingredients:

Quinoa: • 1 onion • 325 ml (1-1/3 cups) quinoa, well rinsed and drained • 2 bay leaves • Kosher salt • 5 peaches, halved and pitted

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the turmeric, paprika, cumin, ginger, black pepper, cayenne (if you’re using it), cinnamon, cardamom, salt, garlic and vegetable oil to make a paste.

Add the chicken to the paste and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.

Cut the onion into quarters, leaving as much of the root end on as possible. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa, bay leaves and onion.

Add 650 ml (2-2/3 cups) of water, a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes or until tender.

Let cool to room temperature and discard the bay leaves and onion.

Toss two of the halved peaches in with the remaining vegetable oil and pinch of salt.

Tear off a large piece of foil and place

peaches, cut side down on the foil. Seal to form packet.

Place on grill over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally or until peaches are quite soft. Let cool.

Place the chicken, skin side down, on greased grill over medium-high heat.

Grill for 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced or when a meat thermometer reaches 74 C (165 F).

Peel the grilled peaches and place them in large bowl with the lemon zest and half the lemon juice, then mash with a fork. Slice remaining peaches and add to bowl.

Add cooked quinoa, nuts, mint and olive oil; stir to combine.

Despite danger, thunderstorms brought out best in people

T

hunderstorms in the country terrified Mother.

Sadly, that fear was passed on to me.

We crouched in corners, but never on an outside wall, and always away from the telephone that hung in the kitchen.

If it was a really horrific storm, I often took to hiding under a bed.

Storms that struck through the night were especially frightening.

The lightning lit up the entire countryside and in the blackness of the night, rolling thunder roared, sounding like a gigantic train careening through our fields.

It was not unusual for Mother to get all of us children out of our beds in the dead of night at the first sound of thunder or a flash of lightning.

Father, of course, slept through the entire storm. Seeing Mother sitting on a chair, away from any window, the coal oil lamp lit on the bake table by the back door, did little to put my mind at ease.

She sat with her purse

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories clutched tightly in her arms, ready to make a dash outside should our old log house be struck by lightning. Where we would run to, I had no idea.

The very thought of going outside into the raging storm was almost as frightening as shaking like a leaf inside, waiting for what I was sure was a fiery end to our lives.

Mother constantly compared country storms with those she remembered from New York.

With the heavy sounds of the city, storms there passed almost unnoticed, but the day lightning hit the pole that held our clothes line and followed it to the end pole, Mother nearly collapsed.

My sister Audrey, whom I thought took storms much too lightly, said we should

be grateful that the clothes line was free standing and not attached to the corner of the house. I knew what she meant.

Then one summer day, when we had gone through a particularly long dry spell, the sky in the west darkened and far off in the distance we could hear the rumble of thunder. We had finished our noon meal and by the time we had cleaned up the kitchen, the storm was upon us.

Father said he would just sit a spell. “No use going out in that rain,” he said, as he settled down in the rocking chair with the latest copy of the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

“How can you sit there and read with that storm raging outside?” Mother wanted to know.

Father never took his eyes off the paper. My brothers had absolutely no fear in a storm.

In fact, it wasn’t unusual for them to stand at the kitchen window and watch the lightning streak out of the black clouds.

Mother had settled in a chair against the inside wall between the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom. Audrey busied herself with her embroidery work. I was on a chair inches from Mother.

The whole house shook with every clap of thunder and the storm seemed to hover right overhead for a very long time.

I prayed it would soon go away and follow the Bonnechere River to another part of the valley.

“Oh my God,” Emerson yelled. Everett yelled for Father to come quickly to the window looking out towards the west hill.

Earl, the most timid of the three began to cry. I knew something terrible had happened. Father jumped from the rocker and ran to the west window; cautiously, Mother, Audrey and I followed. “The

lightning,” Emerson stammered.

“It hit the big maple on the hill,” Everett said.

Underneath the tree, where 11 of our Holstein cows had gone for shelter, we saw what had happened.

“Oh my God,” Emerson yelled.

Everett yelled for Father to come quickly to the window looking out towards the west hill.

They looked like they had laid themselves down to rest in the summer heat.

But I knew without asking what had happened. The cows were dead -- killed by a lightning bolt that had struck the maple.

I saw the stark horror on Father’s face, and Mother’s tear-streaked cheeks and I knew without a doubt that we would never recover the loss.

What I saw next, once the storm had blown itself out,

was Father and the brothers, walking behind the team of horses, pulling the double whiffletree and heading to the west hill.

One by one, the dead Holsteins were dragged to the gravel pit and buried.

The news of our loss spread quickly through the community of Northcote. Father said it could have been worse.

Our young heifers were in the enclosure close to the barn, and two cows, for their own reasons had decided to stay at the bottom of the hill.

And as always happened when tragedy struck in our farm community, neighbours responded. I saw them walking down our long lane leading a heifer or a cow over to our farm almost completely replacing our loss with a simple shake of a hand and a few words.

That’s how things were done in the 1930s.

As well as our terrible loss, the lightning strike only confirmed in Mother’s mind that storms were not to be taken lightly, but treated as the real danger they could be, and sadly sometimes were.

Greely artist featured in Kanata gallery Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Art - The fun continues at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery throughout the month of August, as artist Patricia Brander takes the helm.

The Greely resident is the second feature artist of the “Just for Fun and Colour Me Kids” exhibit, which launched in June and runs until Aug. 29. Morgan’s Grant artist Amie Talbot was featured throughout July.

“You can’t get more different in terms of people,” said Brander about her acrylic abstract artwork and Talbot’s coloured pencil drawings.

She signed up to be featured in the “Just for Fun” exhibit because “it best represents what I do,” she said.

Brander’s work features a kaleidoscope of colours and textures.

“I use a lot of paint. You can make it very thick,” said Brander, who works for hightech company Irdeto Canada Corporation in north Kanata. “I found this a great way to relax … because it’s so much fun.”

Although she’d always had an interest in art, Brander was first bit with a real interest around age 12. She started her artistic career using oils, watercolours and pastels, creating landscapes, and studying a “bit of art.”

She said she got the creative gene from her father, who had a decorative wrought iron business in Nova Scotia and had the ability to create “anything and everything.”

Brander began to gravitate more towards abstract painting because it allowed her to

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Greely artist Patricia Brander is the feature artist for the month of August during the Kanata Civic Art Gallery’s ‘Just for Fun and Colour Me Kids’ exhibit. work more with thoughts and moods, rather than objects.

“It’s a feeling or emotion that I operate on, or a memory,” she said. “I find it more fun and there’s more freedom to express (with abstract painting). I find with this it’s very freeing in a way.”

As well, various people can find different meanings within the same abstract piece.

“People can decide what it means to them based on how they’re feeling,” said Brander.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Brander joined the Kanata Civic Art Gallery two years ago, after another member

approached her at an art show and asked if she’d ever considered joining.

“It’s fun. I enjoy it,” said Brander of the organization. “These people are great.”

Her tools of the trade include a palette knife and containers of paint, which she squeezes directly onto the canvas.

“I’ll just create this thing directly on the canvas,” said Brander. “It’s easy to manipulate … if you don’t like something and want to take it off, you can do that.”

If the creative mood strikes her, Brander said she can finish a piece in a morning, something that’s not possible when working with other mediums because she’d have to wait for the paint to dry. And sometimes the finished product is a surprise, even to her.

“I didn’t really know how (one painting was) going to look until it was done,” said Brander, adding, “When it’s done, it’s perfect because that’s how it’s supposed to be.”

Meet Finnegan, a neutered male, brown tabby, domestic shorthair cat who is 13-yearsold.

Finnegan was surrendered to the OHS on November 12, 2012 and is currently in foster care while he waits for his purrfect match as he tends to get stressed in the shelter environment and has been known to suffer

from re-occurring upper respiratory infections.

Finnegan is full of love and is looking for a predictable household in order to help minimize his stress. He loves a good ear scratch while curled up on the couch next to you and doesn’t mind sharing his household with dogs.

If you think you can offer Finnegan the

Do you have room in your heart and home for a sick cat, or some nursing and orphaned kittens? The Ottawa Humane Society wants you to join the Kitten Brigade!

Summer is busy season at the OHS and there are many cats seeking temporary homes through the foster volunteer program. The shelter especially needs volunteers willing to nurse sick adult cats back to health, specifically those with upper respiratory infections (URI).

URI is a cat cold, which can be caused by a virus or bacteria. It results in sneezing, runny nose and eyes, congestion, cough and loss of appetite in cats. In a stressful shelter environment, URI can have serious complications and is often life-threatening.

Cats with bacterial URI require medication, in the form of eye drops or pills, as well as rest and plenty of fluids. Thanks to our wonderful foster volunteers, cats in need get a much needed tender love and care, and often times have a speedy recovery!

Interested volunteers must complete an application form, available

PET OF THE WEEK

I grew up in a home full of cats but I never liked them. I hated them. Until I had a motorcycle accident (yes I hit my head lol) and moved into an apartment alone...

My little boy was born July 26 2011. He is a handsome Russian Blue. I got him in February 2013. When I first took him in he was a little thinner and was not neutered. His previous owner named him “Bandit”. I did not like this name so I changed it to “Kitty Kitty” :) I got him fixed and he put on a couple pounds. He started off a little shy. But now... He follows me everywhere around the apartment. He always let’s me sleep in. We have cereal in the morning. He will wait sometimes patiently lol for me to finish and give him the milk that’s left in the bowl. We will share a glass of chocolate milk. He will walk under my feet at the same time reaching up for my hand ever so gently, meowing for me to pet him. He will sleep on his chair (rocking recliner). When I want him to “come” he understands the command “come on”. He helps me crochet. He greets me at the door when I come home. His favorite color is pink (just as mine is! :). He always brings me his pink toy as a gift. And he doesn’t like men.

Lol Today, I couldn’t imagine my life without him. He is very spoiled and I love him to pieces.

I’ve actually been thinking about getting him a kitten. Shhh... Don’t tell him! :) Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”? Submit a picture and short biography of your pet to find out! Simply email to: cfoster@thenewsemc.ca attention “Pet of the Week”

perfect spot to curl up in to for the rest of his days, please visit the shelter to read his foster history sheet in full and to see about making arrangements to meet him.

Meet Sid, a six-year-old, neutered male, gray and white domestic short hair cat with an extremely gentle personality.

Sid was surrendered to the OHS by his owner on May 1 and is now available for adoption.

Sid loves to eat, and is looking for a family that understands his need to be fed small portions in order to keep him in good shape and satisfied. He gets along well with other cats, and wouldn’t mind sharing his home!

While in foster care, Sid made it known that he has an affinity for scratching posts, and would like his new family to provide him one that he can make use of daily!

Visit the OHS website at www. ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Aries, a challenge arises that requires you to have the utmost confidence in your abilities. Some self-confidence and hard work are all you need to successfully tackle this challenge.

Taurus, you can choose from among many paths, but this week you will have to carefully think about which way to go. Otherwise you may end up having to backtrack and start over.

Gemini, unless you change your line of thinking, you may have trouble in the romance department this week. You don’t have to be a smooth operator, but just sweeten your sentiments.

Cancer, sometimes you like being the center of attention, and other times you are content to blend into the background. This week you will have to embrace the spotlight.

Leo, after letting things slide for awhile, you will need to get a better handle on your finances this week. If you feel as though things have gotten out of control, then talk to a professional.

Issues at work may have you contemplating a career change, Virgo. But you may want to hold off on changes for a little while longer until things settle down.

A quick visit with family can make you feel refreshed and renewed, Libra. There is nothing like spending time with the ones you love to improve your mood.

Scorpio, catch up on some overdue health screenings. There has never been a better time to get these things done, and you don’t want to put your health on the back burner.

Sagittarius, there is only so much persuading you can do before you must let others choose their own paths. A difficult conversation has you second-guessing something.

Do something for yourself this week, Capricorn. It’s a good time to treat yourself before you must devote more of your time to others in the near future.

Aquarius, something has been on your mind but you just can’t put your finger on it. Forget about it for awhile, and you just may come to a realization.

Few things that escape your notice this week, Pisces. Always detail-oriented, you need to figure out how to use the information.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
