Still hope for Dickinson House, carriage shed $400,000 left to recoup in city costs Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city has to find about $400,000 more to meet its goal of recouping the $2.15 million it spent purchasing six properties in Dickinson Square eight years ago.

The Manotick Mill Quar-

ter Community Development Corporation, a cityowned corporation tasked with redeveloping and protecting Manotick’s heritage square, recently sold the Ayres building to ROSSS, a rural senior support group that has rented the heritage building since the city bought it from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority in 2007.

Residents of the new Carleton riding can hear from candidates at a debate in Greely this month ahead of the federal election planned for Oct. 19.

Between 7 to 9 p.m. on Sept.

9, come to the Greely Community Centre to hear from the candidates vying to become the first member of Parliament for

the riding, which was created in 2012 as part of a nation-wide redrawing of boundaries to account for population growth.

The changes created 30 new ridings across the country.

The Greely debate, jointly hosted by the community association and the business association, will include opening statements from each candidate before they take pre-set questions and questions from the floor.

The Carleton candidates include Conservative Pierre Poilievre, Liberal Chris Rodgers, KC Larocque for the NDP and Deborah Coyne for the Green party.

Poilievre has represented the region since he was elected in 2004 in the riding of NepeanCarleton. The constituency has now been split into two ridings – Nepean and Carleton – to better represent population growth

in the suburban area.

The new Carleton riding includes the villages of Greely, Manotick, Osgoode and Metcalfe, as well as south-western rural areas like Richmond and Stittsville.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the election on Aug. 2, prompting a 78-day campaign that will prove the longest – and likely most expensive – in recent Canadian history.

Para Transpo consultations to start this September City reviewing who can ride, how to book Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

City officials will host 16 small sessions to discuss who is eligible to use Para Transpo, and what can be done to make the booking model more efficient.

Beginning Sept. 17, OC Transpo officials will welcome 20 people at a time to discuss the barriers and challenges that exist for operators and users of the city’s alternative transit system.

The big issue for advocates of people with disabilities seems to be eligibility.

Right now, Para Transpo only offers services to people with physical disabilities and mobility concerns that prevent them from using regular OC Transpo services. Users are classified as temporary, permanent or “winter-only” clients, and all require medical documentation to get approved.

ALL DISABILITIES

But the provincial Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act includes developmental and cognitive

disabilities in its general definition, and this, according to local advocacy groups, means people with those disabilities should also be able to use accessible transit.

In May, the city’s transit commission called for a review Para Transpo’s eligibility criteria to better reflect the province’s accessibility standards.

Judy Bernstein, director of supports and services at the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities, argued at the time that navigating OC Transpo can be just as difficult for someone with a cognitive delay as it is for someone in a wheelchair.

If a person gets hired on the other side of town, for example, it may take three transfers to get there by bus. That can be overwhelming – if not impossible – for someone with a developmental disability.

“Because of their cognitive ability they aren’t able to navigate the three transfers, so they have no way of getting to work,” Bernstein said. “It’s been on families to leave their jobs to drive them, or the person doesn’t accept the job.”

Even for those who can master a daily OC Transpo route, going off course to get to a doctor’s appointment or a new location could be problematic.

“Even construction can throw someone off, or miss-

ing their bus,” Bernstein said.

Registration is now open for the 16 consultation sessions.

Half will deal with eligibility issues and the other eight will look at booking issues.

SCHEDULE:

Sept. 17, Colonel By Room, Ottawa City Hall. Registration deadline is Sept. 11.

• Eligibility – 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 3:30 to 5 p.m.

• Booking – 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Sept. 22, Festival boardroom, Ottawa City Hall. Registration deadline is Sept. 17.

• Eligibility – 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Sept. 30, Colonel By Room, Ottawa City Hall. Registration deadline is Sept. 24.

• Eligibility – 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 3:30 to 5 p.m.

• Booking – 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 6, Colonel By Room, Ottawa City Hall. Registration deadline Sept. 30.

• Booking – 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Four North Gower residents win big at Hereford Show ‘bonanza’ Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Showing cows is a family affair.

Four local kids from the same family – siblings and cousins – won big at the recent Canadian National Junior Hereford Show.

The Bonanza, as the show is commonly called, was held in Fredericton, NB, from July 29 to Aug. 1. Owen and Camryn Grundy, along with their cousins, Justin McLaughin and Rebecca Hess, took home three grand champion titles and a first place prize.

Participants were judged in showmanship, their ability to deliver speeches and artistic work, such as photo collages. All participants also took part in the Great Griller Cook-Off, which was part of the bonanza.

“It’s all very kid oriented,” said Chris Grundy, Owen and Camryn’s dad. “The kids do it all.”

All the cows used at the bonanza came from the Grundy family farm, NBG Polled Herefords in North Gower, which was started by Burt ‘Grandpa’ Grundy back in the ’90s.

His grandchildren are continuing the tradition.

Camryn took a yearling, Rebecca and Owen took calves and Justin took a yearling bull to show at the bonanza.

Camryn and Rebecca competed in the peewee division (eight and under), Owen in the junior division (between nine and 12) and Justin in the senior division (between 17 and 21) of the bonanza.

OWEN

Owen Grundy, 11, is going into Grade 7 at North Grenville District High School in Kemptville. His favorite subject is gym because “you get to move around.”

He grew up with cows.

“They are fun to work with,” said Owen. “I’ve been working with them for five years.”

He said he really enjoys the genetic aspect of breeding cows.

“Who their mom was, their dad and all their relatives,” said Owen. “What you get from breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull, that sort of thing.”

This is the fourth time Owen has competed at the bonanza.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Owen, who has a few favorite cows, including The Wonderer and Goggles. “We give them all nicknames.”

He won Junior Grand Champion Showperson at this year’s bonanza.

“It was really exciting,” he said CAMRYN

Camryn Grundy, 8, is going into Grade 3 at South Branch Elementary School in Kemptville. Her favorite subject in school is gym because she gets to play games.

“I like playing Dr. Dodgeball,” she said.

Her favorite animal is a cow because they are “different.”

She too, grew up with cows and has been showing them for the past three years.

“My favorite is Heatwave because she’s different from all the other ones,” said Camryn.

She likes the bonanza because she gets to see her friends and enjoys “going into the ring.”

She won first place in showmanship in the peewee division.

“It felt really good,” said Camryn.

JUSTIN

Justin McLaughin, 18, is going into his second year at Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, Que. He is studying economics and hopes to run his own restaurant someday.

“I enjoy cooking,” said Justin.

He has been around cows all his life and has been showing them since the age of four.

“I like doing it,” said Justin. “All the people you meet and becoming good friends with everyone.”

He said the bonanza is a great place to meet people your own age, with similar interests.

“I have solid bonanza friends,” said Justin. “We keep in touch and then see each other once a year.”

His true passion is clipping (grooming).

“It’s an art,” said Justin.

“I’m very finicky about the

cow’s appearance.”

He became interested in clipping about five years ago, after going out west to the World Hereford Conference.

He said showing cows enables people to learn new skills.

“People skills and how to deal with certain problems, other than day-to-day stuff,” said Justin. “You learn a lot.”

He won Senior Grand Champion for Showmanship, taking home one of two bonanza belt buckles awarded to competitors.

“I’m still learning,” said Justin, who enjoys passing on his experience and knowledge to his sister and cousins. “I’m going to keep doing this as long as I can.”

JENNIFER WESTENDORP/METROLAND

REBECCA

Rebecca Hess, 9, is going into Grade 4 at Rideau Public School in Kars. Her favorite subject in school is French, because it’s a “cool language.”

She likes cows because they are “cute and fluffy. Fun to groom. They are a different kind of animal than cats and dogs.”

She too has grown up around the animals and started showing them when she was three.

“Gypsy is my favorite,” said Rebecca. “She’s gentle, calm and I’ve known her all my life.”

Rebecca said she enjoys showing cows because she gets to see her friends at the bonanza every year. She also likes going into the ring.

She won Grand Champion for Heifer Calf and Peewee Showperson.

“I was shocked,” said Rebecca. She’s only missed the bonanza once since she was born.

All four were presented ribbons with their respective titles and the winning cows were awarded banners.

They also took home cow showing related prizes. Out of the four members of the same family, three ended up back in the Champion Showperson ring at the end of the bonanza.

“It’s very rare to see four kids from the same family place, let alone get named champions,” said Jennifer Hess, Rebecca and Justin’s mom. “It’s cool. All our kids won first place in their splits.”

From left, Owen Grundy, Charity the calf, Justin McLaughin, Camryn Grundy and Rebecca Hess. Charity, owned by Rebecca and Justin, was named Bred & Owned Reserve Grand Champion Female (second best female animal out of all shown) at the bonanza.

NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE LEMIEUX ISLAND WPP INTAKE IMPROVEMENTS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 Time: 4 – 6 p.m.

Location: La Salle Secondary School – Cafeteria 773 Highway 15, Ottawa The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake.

The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River.

In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake.

Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which put the water supply at risk.

The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). The final deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be filed and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion.

Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. The purpose of this upcoming Public Information Centre is to present the draft recommendation for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. Residents and other interested parties are invited to drop-in anytime during the Public Information Centre for the opportunity for further information about the project and the Environmental Assessment process. Staff from the City and the consulting team will be available to explain the project and answer questions.

Project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website (http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/publicconsultations). A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project.

Comments are welcome at any time during the study.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Parks deserve our full attention

A

piecemeal process to fund new parks – and improvements in existing parks – is being considered by the city. And that’s a mistake.

Parks benefit everyone.

You may not use a park on the other side of the city, but all Ottawans deserve some greenspace.

The city should act like we are one community and think big, not parochially.

When a developer builds new homes, they pitch in development fees towards new local parks. If there is no space for a park, the developer pays cash-in-lieu of parkland.

The city’s planning committee made a mistake when it suggested some of that cash-in-lieu should be used for life-cycle repairs in parks.

City council should dump the idea and pay for park maintenance from a central annual budget.

If the development fees are used to maintain an existing park, then we all lose out on new space or new amenities.

The slippery slope ends with the real maintenance budget being reduced so development fees can pay the cost.

Council is elected to decide priorities. Simply shifting money between silos is a recipe for fewer and poorer parks in the long run.

Real games in real parks are a good thing. A shell game isn’t appreciated.

The mayor and the rest of council should set aside money in the annual budget that ensures parks are well kept and suitably equipped for the residents in the neighbourhood. That’s worked up to now, so why take a chance on creating a second tier of funding and potentially a system of parks with different levels of upkeep depending on which ward they are located within?

At the same time, council should tackle the issue of “promotional� plaques. It is a mistake to allow elected public officials to erect any commemorative item bearing their own name. They are already paid to do the job of councillor or mayor, and any money “they� pay to have their name engraved on a city asset is really taxpayers’ money.

If there’s a good place to spend money, it’s on parks. But the last thing a penny should be spent on is a plaque telling us who signed the cheque.

Champions of summer

B

aseball in Ottawa has had its ups and downs – the uppest being when the Ottawa Lynx, playing before the largest crowds in the league, won the International League championship in 1995; the downest being when the Ottawa Rapidz folded and the stadium on Coventry Road was empty for the 2009 season.

It is difficult to predict how potential fans will behave in this city. People have gone broke trying.

Back in the ’90s, Lynx games were the place to be. Everybody you knew was there. Then, all of a sudden, it all vanished.

There are many explanations having to do with major league affiliation, the parking, the location, miserable spring weather, various ownership decisions. But it boils

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town down to the people of the city somehow deciding that there was no big reason to go the games.

The Rapidz, playing at a lower but still entertaining level, found that out. So did the Fat Cats, who lasted a little longer. It was fun to go to those games, but not enough people did.

Now we are nearing the end of the first season of the Ottawa Champions. Attendance, we are told, is below league average, although there have been successful spurts, such as a three-game series against the

Winnipeg Goldeyes that drew 10,000 people.

In terms of the product on the field, as teams are sometimes called by accountants, there is no reason why the Champions should not be a huge success next year. It’s good ball they play – making all the routine plays smoothly and making the difficult ones too.

In one game I saw the right fielder doubling the runner off first after catching a line drive, the catcher gunning a runner down at second trying to steal. They beat out a beautiful bunt single down the first base line.

And the opposing right fielder made a magnificent throw to gun down an Ottawa at home plate. The pitching on both sides was strong, the umpiring was professional.

And good things were happening off the field too.

He (or she) was great with the little kids in the stands. The public address system was too loud (as is always the case everywhere) but nicely bilingual. The food was all right, the parking fine. A nice touch was the late-inning garbage pickup: environmentally conscious fans walked considerable distances in the stadium to present their debris to the guy with a big garbage bag.

The 50-50 draw was popular. Later in the season were such events as the ice bucket challenge, kids getting to run the bases and get autographed balls from the players.

I could do without the playing of Sweet Caroline in the eighth inning, an imitation of something done at Fenway Park.

Mary tries her hand at hatching her very own chicken

T

here was no doubt about it; my pet chicken wouldn’t be a chicken much

Mary Cook’s Memories bloomers so no one would notice it, and headed right upstairs to the little washstand I shared with my sister Audrey.

In my half of the top drawer, which Audrey had divided with a wood ruler from Scott’s Hardware, I moved my underwear around and made a dent in one of my pairs of flour bag underpants, and gently put the egg in the folds. Then I covered it with more underwear, a vest and three pairs of ankle socks.

It was well hidden, the washstand took the full blast of the sun all day long, and I

figured I would soon have a replacement for Biddy.

LONG WAIT BEGAN I knew it was important not to touch the egg while it was hatching, and so I used only the underpinnings on top of it. And the long wait for the egg to hatch began.

I had no idea how long that would be, but every night I went to bed and silently prayed it wouldn’t pop open when we were asleep, and start to peep, sending my sister Audrey into a state of hysterics!

Well, the wait went on.

Days passed and turned into a couple of weeks. And then one day my sister Audrey, who could hear a leaf drop, and who had a nose that could pick a scent two miles away, so good were her senses, announced to Mother one morning that there was a vile smell coming from our shared bedroom.

It was a Saturday, so Mother told her to work especially hard at doing our usual chores, making sure to dust mop thoroughly, and use a bit of lemon oil on the furniture.

She blamed the smell on the heat wave we were having.

By the next day, I too could smell whatever it was that was fast eliminating the sweet scent of clean sheets and the lemon oil that was used only in the parlour! And that was the day my secret

The Manotick News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

incubator was no longer a secret.“The stink is coming from our wash stand,” Audrey bellowed, as she ripped open the little drawer.

Well, the smell just about bowled me over too. You didn’t have to be a university graduate to know what had happened to the egg.

In the heat, in the closed drawer, it had rotted beyond belief!

My explanation did little to impress Audrey. She ordered me to wrap it in a pair of my underpants and take it outside

and throw it as far away from the house as I could.

I did as I was told, sad beyond belief that my try at hatching my very own chicken was a complete and total failure. My penalty was taking everything out of the wash stand, washing it with a bar of Lifebouy soap, used only by Father or the boys when they had to get rid of a bad smell, and tossing everything into the Monday’s wash. The drawer and the two doors at the bottom stood open for days, airing out.

longer.

I wasn’t smart enough to figure out that you didn’t have pets on a farm. They eventually ended up at the market or hanging in the smoke house behind the house.

I refused to accept this, so I had a pet lamb, a pet calf, and Biddy, my pet chicken.

The reason I adopted Biddy was that she stood out from the crowd. She didn’t have a feather on her body, unless you could call the little ring of white fuzz that circled her between her neck and her wings, feathers.

And Biddy grew, as I knew she would. And then one day, she was nowhere to be found.

I wouldn’t dare ask what happened to her, but I strongly suspected, since I fed her myself and she grew bigger and fatter than any other in the flock, she was the perfect candidate to be taken into Renfrew with Mother’s other wares to be peddled, and the few pennies added to what was called her “egg” money.

When Biddy went missing, I knew what I had to do. I had to get an egg out of the hen house, and somehow turn it into a chicken. Surely, if I had hatched my very own chicken, it would never be hauled off to Renfrew or put in the big granite pot on a Sunday. And I knew just how to do it too.

Hadn’t I seen Mother stock the incubator with eggs, keep it warm with coal oil lamps or lanterns and lo and behold in due course, there would be a batch of little golden chickens?

So the first thing I had to do was find a spot that was not cold. Well, this time of year, that could be just about any place in the house. The upstairs was like we had moved the Findlay Oval to the top floor!

And so, without being noticed, I went to the henhouse, looked over the eggs waiting to be brought into the house, and picked the biggest one I could find. I tucked it gently into the leg of my flour bag

Eight years of life as The Farmer’s Wife

T

10

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife and posing for photos tired him right out. I am so very grateful that he was able to share the day with us. We did not know at that point that his condition was terminal and that we would have him with us just five more months. You have a very practical, simple view of life, and so you may not realize, my love, that you have done miraculous things.

You are the glue that holds this family together, and it just comes naturally to you.

We hadn’t lived together

before marriage, so you were taking many chances when you made a commitment to me and my three girls. You didn’t know how we would work out finances, or living with teenagers, or even who would make most of the meals. Funny how those things just worked themselves out (and I agree the fire department doesn’t have to visit as often if we let you do most of the cooking.)

Occasionally I am reminded that other couples argue

about things. They are unfair to each other, jealous of each other. Unforgiving and resentful. It’s been eight years and we have never really had a fight. It’s not because we agree on everything – it’s because you are so fair. That is all. Everything you do has a reason behind it.

Your love is deliberate and obvious. You put us first, in everything. You accepted my children as your own. They have never doubted your commitment to them and you have given them a safe place to call home. Through your fabulous Sunday dinners you have opened our home to our extended family week after week. As these gatherings swelled beyond our dining room table, you calmly drew up plans for a three-season

sun room and built it to accommodate the crowd.

You set the tone, and the unspoken rules. Everyone knows family dinner is about acceptance, respect and celebration of each and every member of this extended family, which sometimes includes special friends.

I often think, without this weekly reservation, our children, siblings, parents and friends would just go about their daily lives and we would lose track of each other. Without this family dinner that we have made important, we might see some of our loved ones only a few times a year.

Back to the love. Thank you for insisting on our time together each day but also insisting on our time to ourselves. Our morning coffee

and our weekday lunches.

Thank you for filling my tires, taking the squeak out of my truck, and hosing down the doghouse area when I complain about it.

I appreciate your being so generous with your time, your money and the TV remote. Thank you giving me space when I’m moody, a shoulder to cry on when I am down, and a number one fan when I succeed. I don’t think I’ve improved as a cook and I certainly don’t make any more money than I did when you met me. I hope you’re not disappointed. I look at photos and can’t believe that skinny little thing you married is me. You certainly know how to grow your investment. You can stop that any time now, by the way.

o Farmer Fisher on our 8th Anniversary.

It’s been eight years since you and I exchanged vows under the arbour you built for us at the farm. It was blowing a gale that day, but the rain held off and we have wonderful photos taken by a great family friend to remember that August 25, 2007.

Dad made it to the wedding. He was told he might be in the hospital recovering from surgery but he was determined he wasn’t going to watch me marry you on video. He wanted to walk me down the aisle, and he did. He also danced with me, for half a song, before he had to pass me over to you so he could go home and take a nap. The excitement of the day, the heat

Dickinson properties offer important programs for community At the time of the bulkproperty purchase, city council stipulated that the money spent acquiring the properties from the conservation authority had to be regained through sale or lease. It created the mill quarter corporation to make it happen.

While the Ayres building sale price was not made public, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt said the corporation has so far recouped about $1.75 million of the $2.15 million it originally spent on four heritage buildings and two other properties that make up the bulk of Dickinson Square around Watson’s Mill.

The remaining money, if the city chooses to pursue it, would have to come from the sale of Dickinson House and the carriage shed, arguably the two most important buildings in the square.

Community opinion on the fate of these properties has been clear from the start: keep them in the public’s hands, or at least available

Watson’s Mill staff use the carriage shed for office and programming space. It also serves as the public washroom for the square. for public use.

MILL LINK

There’s much to lose if they are sold for redevelopment. The carriage shed, for example, serves as office and programming space for the staff at Watson’s Mill. With no electricity, heat or washrooms in the mill itself, losing the carriage shed could mean programming would not be able to

continue in the same way, staff have warned in the past.

Dickinson House is also prominent as a communityrun museum commemorating Manotick’s founding family.

There are rumours the house was once the campaign headquarters for Sir John A. Macdonald – at the very least, he came to visit once.

The museum hosts regular public concerts, exhibits and high teas, and is open for tours

every day in the summer.

But Maureen McPhee, an active volunteer at Dickinson House, said she feels confident Moffatt will support the community’s desire to keep the two buildings in the hands of the public. “(A sale) hasn’t happened yet so I just remain hopeful,” she said.

McPhee added Moffatt’s recent column on the topic “seemed encouraging.”

“I will continue to work toward a solution that can be supported by the community and makes the most sense going forward,” Moffatt wrote on Aug. 17. “We’ve listened to the community every step of the way and I look forward to continuing that working relationship on the two remaining, and most significant, Dickinson Square properties.”

The two buildings are not officially up for sale at the moment, but McPhee said she and her fellow volunteers continue to work hard to keep Dickinson House relevant and valued in the village.

“We’re just hanging in there

and doing what we can to demonstrate the value of the square to the community,” she said. “I think we have strong community support, so the decisions are in the city’s hands.”

SLOW PROCESS

So far the city has sold Weaver House, a once-vacant and decrepit heritage home which is now under renovations to become a day spa, and the property on Clapp Lane on which developer Joe Princiotta

plans to build a seniors’ living centre.

The Ayres building, a former bank and library, was also on Princiotta’s radar, but when that sale fell through ROSSS was able to make a successful bid instead.

A property east of Dickinson Street, known as the Holloway property, can’t be sold because it’s too complicated to develop so close to the Rideau River.

It is being turned into a cityowned Remembrance Park instead.

To reduce the risks associated with WNV, OPH is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes. This includes applying an approved mosquito repellant containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing, wearing light colours and long sleeves, pants, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin, ensuring all screens on your home are in good working condition, and taking steps to reduce areas where mosquitoes breed by removing standing water from around your home.

Heel ‘N Wheel fundraiser walking new path to$50K Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The fourth annual Heel ‘N Wheel fundraiser will take a new road toward local cancer care when it welcomes participants for its walking and cycling event on Sept. 13.

The Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation has hosted a walking/cycling event for the past four years to raise money for cancer care and equipment at the rural regional hospital. In the past, several routes have started simultaneously from a handful of villages in the region, as far flung as Greely and Osgoode.

But this year the organizers are simplifying things: participants will this year start at the hospital and everyone

will walk and ride together through Winchester village and into the countryside along Boyne Road. Beginning at 12 noon, participants can choose to complete between five and 25 kilometres, as long as they’re back at the Joe Steel community centre by 4 p.m. for the celebration barbecue and party.

Foundation director Kristen Casselman said the change is partly due to logistics; with fewer staff this year, it was easier to manage one big route instead of five or six.

She said it’s also a safety thing: with only one road, they were able to get a road closure permit to keep traffic off the roadway while the event is going on.

“This way maybe more families would come with lit-

promise and under-deliver.”

The event is already creeping close to its goal; according to the Heel ‘N Wheel website, as of Aug. 28 more than $42,000 had been collected.

That’s largely thanks to the Winchester Hospital Heelers team, which has raised more than $12,000 towards its $18,000 goal. The Heelers have been fundraising since 2007 to cover the cost of a digital mammography machine for the hospital, which cost a whopping $500,000. If they raise $18,000 this year they’ll finally have reached their half-million goal in just eight years.

The Heel ‘N Wheel event was created in part because of their efforts.

The top individual fundraiser so far is Edwards resident

Event organizers across the region have been cautious to hold events on public roads after a cyclist was killed on River Road during the Ottawa Hospital’s Ride the Rideau fundraiser last September.

CANCER SUPPORT

Casselman said she hopes to raise $50,000 for the hospital foundation’s cancer care fund this year. That’s a bit less than other years, but being new to the position she said she doesn’t want to “over-

This year’s donations, outside of the Heelers’ mammography project, will go towards the purchase of two high-definition colonoscopes, which are used to screen for colon cancer. Each colonoscope costs $40,000. There is no minimum fundraising amount to participate; families must simply pay the registration fee of $25 per adult or $10 per child under 16.

Canada Cares campaign spotlights role of caregivers

steph.willems@metroland.com

One in four Canadian families cares for someone with a disability, but rarely do their daily efforts get recognized.

The Canada Cares campaign aims to change that, offering the opportunity for caregivers to be nominated for an award or cash prize. A program of the Canadian Abilities Foundation, Canada Cares has implemented the campaign for the past three years.

Until Sept. 18, residents are asked to nominate a friend, family member or professional caregiver, explaining what the caregiver could do with the top prize of $10,000.

For Caroline Tapp-McDougall, chair of Canada

Cares, the experience of caring for her own mother opened her eyes to what caregivers go through.

“My mom was stroke disabled, and I cared for her for 12 years,” she said, adding that her father suffered from ALS at the time.

“No one was saying ‘Thank you,’ or recognizing that huge contribution.

Caregivers can be anyone – young parents with a disabled child or someone with an older parent.

We’re trying to shed light, joyfully, on the role of the caregiver.”

Canada Cares will present 10 awards at the Home Care Conference in Ottawa in November – five for family and friends, and another five for professional caregivers. The contest spans the country, with winners selected from four regions. One will receive the $10,000 Canada Cares One Wish Award, which is sponsored by CBI group.

A Caregiver-Friendly Workplace Award and Caring Community Award will also be handed out.

Tapp-McDougall said that the need for caregivers is rising as the country’s population ages, and it’s important for those individuals to know they’re part of a community.

“Caregivers often feel alone,” she said. “One thing this does is make them part of a team, outside of just

their own family,” Tapp-McDougall said that if caregivers can feel that their contribution is broadly recognized, it will help them in their day-today tasks.

Information and application forms for the contest can be found at www. canadacares.org.

Learning to dance with your partner comes in handy for an evening on the town, celebrating a milestone event, or on your dream vacation! With over 60 ballroom dance classes available, you are sure to find one to suit your schedule.

Take advantage of Ontario’s bounty in this easy-to-make quick meatless dinner.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes. Cooking Time: 10 minutes. Serves: 4

Explore your vision of the world

The City offers visual arts programs in many mediums including drawing, painting, photography and pottery. Taking a course with a passionate instructor spurs you on with new techniques, insights and helpful tips. Classes for children provide instruction that is age appropriate to their abilities, which allows for creative successes and positive encouragement. Take time to discover your artistic talents.

Whether you are taking your instrument off- the-shelf or following a dream, we can help with our group or private lessons.

Holiday with fair

Get ready for your next adventure abroad by learning French, German or Spanish. With over 40 classes to choose from, you will build your vocabulary and grammar that will allow you to converse with others on your business or leisure travels.

Before you go on that special holiday, join a photography class to help you take those memorable pictures.

KEEP ON LEARNING 2015

Manotick News - Thursday, September 3, 2015

KEEP ON LEARNING

Back to school essentials: price should never be an issue We can’t escape the fact that a new school year is syn­ onymous with the inevitable trips to the store to get every­ thing that the children need.

Of course you should always try a keep to your budget, but for some essential items qua­

lity should always be your priority.

RUNNING SHOES

Growing children need good quality sports shoes to keep their feet healthy. Even

though leather remains a big favourite because of its dura­ bility, lots of running shoes made with synthetic materi­ als combine flexibility, light­ ness, and resilience. Choose shoes with foam soles for ex­ tra comfort.

After School STEM Robotics Programs Robots.

Choose a backpack that is no wider than the child’s back and shoulders. Look for one made of canvas (avoid plastic) that has several com­ partments and padded shoul­ der straps at least five centi­ metres wide. Pay particular attention to the sturdiness of the zips and stitching.

PLASTIC CONTAINERS

Visit probotsottawa.ca to register or call 613-769-6248

There are two reasons why you should invest in good quality plastic lunch contain­ ers: buying reusable items is great for the environment, and spills in the bottom of lunch boxes will be avoided.

Forget about using old mar­ garine and cottage cheese containers.

THERMAL CONTAINERS

You should never skimp when food safety is at stake.

Your choice of a thermal container is crucial for your child’s health. The tempera­

ture of a hot meal should al­ ways stay above 60C, so it is recommended to use a ther­ mal container made of stain­ less steel with double wall vacuum insulation.

True colours Members of PAL Ottawa, an organization supporting affordable housing for senior and disabled professional artists, show their colours during the 30th annual Capital Pride Parade in Centretown on Aug. 23. Thousands lined the streets to witness the parade, which caps off the city’s Capital Pride Week. Organized by the resurrected Capital Pride, which bounced back from bankruptcy earlier this year, the parade returned to the historical epicentre of the city’s LGBTQ community - the gay village on Bank Street.

Beginning at Bank Street and Gladstone Avenue, the parade looped north from Gladstone to Kent Street, over to Bank via Laurier Avenue, and returned to Somerset Street.

At your fingertips: new Ottawa police app set to launch for Android users carefully.”

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

‘MOST WANTED’

You don’t have to wear a gun belt and the uniform of Ottawa police officers to help them do their work.

The service is preparing to launch its first app for Android and Blackberry smartphone users, more than a year after a free iOS app for iPhone and iPad users was unveiled in May 2014.

The Android app, as well as a new, updated version of the Apple app, are expected to be available for free downloading by the end of September.

“We had hoped to have it launched in time for Police Week this past May,” said Kanata-based acting Staff Sgt. Anthony Skinner, who initially came up with the idea for the first app in early 2013.

The police department is still waiting for the security strength of the new Android app to receive the green light before going live – a measure that was prompted after the City of Ottawa’s website was hacked last year.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Acting Staff Sgt. Anthony Skinner holds his phone, featuring the new Android version of the Ottawa police app, which is expected to be launched this month. An updated version of the service’s app for iPhone users will also soon be available for free downloading.

That attack affected the traffic-routing map on the police app since it was linked to the city’s website.

“As a result of that, we’ve had intermittent connectibility,” Skinner said. “We’ve had to sort of monitor that very

Pet Adoptions

KOKOETTE (ID#A178725)

Meet Kokotte (ID#A178725) a quiet, affectionate cat looking for her purr-fect match.

Kokotte is an extremely loving cat that adores oneon-one attention. She loves to be picked up and petted and will sleep with you in your bed at night.

Kokotte would prefer a quiet, relaxed home. She would enjoy a big window where she can spend the day bird watching.

For more information on Kokoette 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.

Skinner and the two university students who have been developing the technology for the police service on a volunteer basis have taken the hack into consideration to make the product stronger.

In addition to enhanced security protocols, the new and updated apps will see some brand new features, including a photo gallery of “most wanted” suspects.

“It’s something that’s going to help solve cases,” said Skinner, a 21-year Ottawa police veteran who worked for 16 years as an investigator and several years on patrol before taking on his current role of overseeing the community police officers in West Division. “As they’re scrolling the picture gallery, we may have success – not only an ‘Oh, I know this person,’ but the possibility exists for them to be like, ‘Oh my God, there he is,’” he said.

“People are constantly on

their phones. If we increase the number of hits (to the photos), logically you’re going to increase the likelihood of getting a positive identification in some of these galleries.”

App users can then choose from any number of crime-reporting options available right at their fingertips, including punching the app’s 911 emergency call button or submitting an anonymous tip that goes to Crime Stoppers.

The app features eight buttons directing users to news, crime prevention information, a collision toolkit, different methods to report a crime, a map detailing traffic disruptions, station locations as well as crime map data.

It’s handy for checking in to see if a driving route is clear of accidents and hopefully serves as a convenient option for people who may otherwise not take the time to report a non-life-threatening incident, such as a car being broken into, Skinner said.

He added that it’s important to report these crimes, so that police can better track inci-

dents and trends.

When he first realized the police service didn’t have an app, he wanted to make one, even though he had never before built one.

He essentially had to start from scratch. At the time, there were no police organizations in North America running an app that didn’t just mirror a police service’s website.

“So this is something that we’ve been able to build and to use to connect with our customer base, to build trust, to build that relationship, to give them the information of what’s going on,” Skinner said.

Since it first became available, the iPhone app has been downloaded 5,700 times.

An estimated 75 to 85 per cent of people today have smartphones, said Skinner.

Of those, more than 80 per cent want to search websites and do computer-related tasks on their phones.“If that’s where they want (the information), well, we have to be able, as a service, to deliver the information we want their help with,” he said.

PET OF THE WEEK

You wouldn’t let it happen to a backpack exponentially more meaningful and important — like your furry family member?

Last year alone, the Ottawa Humane Society cared for more than 5,000 lost pets. Sixty one per cent of dogs were reunited with their families but only six and a half per cent of cats. Many of the cats were clearly indoor cats. Very few dogs or cats had any form of identification whatsoever. Had these family members been microchipped, the OHS could have sent them all home — every last beloved pet.

Just ask Nadja, who was reunited with her beloved cat Boo here at the OHS last December. Boo went missing in late November. Because

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258

Boo was microchipped, he was back in Nadja’s arms for Christmas — just hours after he was brought here by a Good Samaritan.

Won’t you make the same effort for your pet that you make for your child’s backpack? A microchip implant is a permanent ticket home for your best friend.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and our next one is coming up on September 27. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for peace of mind. Dates for future OHS microchip clinics can be found at: www.ottawahumane.ca/microchip.

For more information, call 613-7253166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ ottawahumane.ca.

Molly Hi my name is Molly. I turned 4 years old on Canada day. Although I am rather small for my breed, Cavalier King Charles, I make up for it in my super size personality and my love for everyone I meet. I have a passion for fast cars and the windows down while I wear my shades to protect my eyes. But I also love chilling and posing on the nearest lap or furniture in my zen moods.

At this time of year, many parents are busy sewing or ironing name tags into their children’s jackets, gym shorts and backpacks in preparation for the upcoming return to school.

This year, as always, parents hope that these things won’t go missing during the academic year. If they were to go missing, parents hope that the items can be easily retrieved from the lost and found box or that someone will return them to their child. Parents hope this and sometimes it happens.

If it doesn’t, usually it’s not that big a deal. Most children’s jackets and gym shorts are pretty inexpensive.

Few have sentimental value.

With that in mind, what if there was a way to identify something

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet others’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not.

Remain aware.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed.

Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition.

This can be a special learning process.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts.

Reexamine your approach.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right.
