Greely Players support four local arts students Kelly McCarthy
kmccarthy@metroland.com
The curtain has just opened on the first act of the performing arts careers for four Ottawa students. On Aug. 24, the Greely Players theatre group presented bursaries to four local students heading into performing arts programs at the post-secondary level. Cameron Plant of Manotick, Matt Chin of North Gower, Sonja Peters of Findlay
Creek and Taryn Waldorf of Barrhaven were chosen as recipients of the $1,000 bursary from a pool of 12 applicants. “We’ve never had this many students apply for the bursary in one year,” said Joel Rahn, vice-president of the Greely Players and head of the bursary selection committee, in a release. “It’s nice to see so many talented young people move on to the performing arts.” See BURSARIES page 2

Bursaries awarded to students heading to performing arts programs Continued from the front
The Greely Players have been awarding bursaries to students entering performing arts programs for 18 of the 26 years since they first formed. It started out as a $500 gift to students entering core performing arts programs such as theatre or orchestra, but soon expanded to a $1,000 bursary offered for a wide variety of fields. “We decided we’d prefer to give out fewer bursaries but increase the amount,” said Anne Peterson of the Greely Players. Recognizing that the performing arts encompasses a huge variety of elements, the bursary is now offered to students entering several fields of study. Previous bursaries have gone to students pursuing theatre, orchestra and even creative industries, which looks at the business
side of theatre. One of this year’s recipients, Cameron Plant, plans to pursue radio broadcasting. Peterson said this is a form of performing arts due to its live, on-air nature. The Greely Players have also awarded bursaries to students entering behindthe-scenes areas as well, such as audio production. “We know, as a volunteer organization, how important those back-stage roles are,” Peterson said. Over the past 18 years, the Greely Players have sponsored 51 students with bursaries totalling $32,000. RECIPIENTS
Peterson said that narrowing down this year’s competition was tough, but that the Greely Players are happy with their final four recipients. Plant, from Manotick,
followed in his father and sister’s footsteps when he appeared on the Greely Players stage as Augustus Gloop in the 2011 production of Willy Wonka. He continued his stage career as Friedrich in The Sound of Music in 2012 and as a chorus member in The Wizard of Oz in 2013. Plant attended the drama program at Canterbury High School and is moving on to study radio broadcasting at Humber College this fall. North Gower resident Matt Chin is enrolled in the Music Theatre Performance program at Sheridan College. He got his start at South Carleton High School where he was introduced to dance and won the Emily Keogh Dance Leadership Award in his senior year. He has appeared in the Greely Players’ productions Anne of Green Gables, Cinderella and The Wizard of Oz. From Findlay Creek,
for Music. She has appeared as Veruca Salt in the 2011 production of Willy Wonka. Taryn Waldorf, of Barrhaven, already has seven years of vocal lessons and five years of dance under her belt. After attending the Canterbury High School drama program, she appeared in several Greely Players productions such as The Sound of Music, Once Upon a Mattress and Peter Pan. She is embarking on the next stage of her career at York University’s School of Arts theatre program. “Each one of them is very talented,” Peterson said. ON THE HORIZON ANNE PETERSON/SUBMITTED
Four local students have a bit more cash in their pockets as they head off to college or university to persue performing arts programs, thanks to a $1,000 bursary from the Greely Players. Here, recipients Cameron Plant, Taryn Waldorf and Sonja Peters accept their bursaries from Joan Bruce-Nibogie on Aug. 24. Not pictured: Matt Chin. Sonja Peters fell in love with performing after participating in a drama program at her elementary school. She
has been the recipient of a Kiwanis Scholarship for Voice and will be attending Wilfrid Laurier University
The Greely Players are currently in the planning stages of their next spring production, the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Auditions for the play will be held in October or November, and the show will run between March 22 and 26, 2017. More information can be found at www.greelyplayers.ca.

Osgoode Public School needs a new play structure, and parents are rallying together to help make that happen. A group of parents from the school’s parent council have taken it upon themselves to organize the Halloween Hoedown on Oct. 22 at the Osgoode Community Centre. The event will raise funds to put toward a new play structure for the school’s kindergarten students after the school’s original structure had to be taken down. The school’s principal, Lorraine Whitby, said the structure was ancient and wooden, deemed to be unsafe for continued use by the students. Kindergarten students will spend their outdoor time playing with toys, soccer balls and hula hoops until the school orders a new structure. Liz LeCain, one of the parents organizing the Halloween Hoedown, said parents want to do their part to help raise funds for the new play structure. “The one that was there was pretty sad,” she said. “It was the saddest looking play structure in Ottawa, I’m sure. It was time to replace it.” The Halloween Hoedown involves two components: a junior hoedown during the day and the main event at night. The junior hoedown will start at 10 a.m. on Oct. 22 at the Osgoode Community Centre. Rain or shine, the event will celebrate “all things fall and Halloween.” There will be a haunted house, a bouncy castle, barbecue and a slew of other activities, LeCain said. Family passes for the event are $10, and include two adult passes and four children’s passes. An additional $5 will grant access to the haunted house as well.

While Osgoode Public School still has a play structure for their older students, the kindergarten structure was recently taken down due to it being unsafe. Parents are organizing a Halloween Hoedown event for Oct. 22 to help raise funds for a new one. The main event is a live concert at 7:30 p.m., with Rory Gardiner and headlined by the River Town Saints. Tickets for the concert are $30, and are available only to adults who are 19 or older. Only 250 tickets are available, LeCain said,
so they will sell out quickly. All proceeds from both components of the event will be put toward a new play structure for Osgoode Public School. More information on the Halloween Hoedown can be found on www.halloweenhoedown.com.

CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT RIVERSIDE SOUTH MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN UPDATE RIDEAU RIVER STUDY AREA REVISED NOTICE OF COMPLETION In September 2008, the City of Ottawa completed the Riverside South Community Master Drainage Plan Update (MDPU) and Riverside South Community Infrastructure Servicing Study Update (ISSU) in support of the Riverside South Community Design Plan (CDP). The study was part of a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review infrastructure servicing alternatives for the Riverside South Community area of Ottawa. The final MDPU identified the preferred stormwater management alternative. In October 2012, the City of Ottawa released revised sewer design guidelines with new criteria for stormwater management and storm sewer design. In addition, changes to the City of Ottawa Official Plan are promoting increased density of development and significant land use changes. An update to the CDP was initiated in 2014 and finalized in 2016 to reflect land use, density, and transportation changes. To supplement the CDP, an update to the MDPU was completed to review the overall drainage plan for the study area that integrates with and enhances the natural environment of the study area. The update was divided into two study areas based on the receiving watercourse; directly to the Rideau River or to Mosquito Creek via proposed stormwater management facilities. This notice pertains to the MDPU Report for areas draining to the Rideau River “Rideau River Study Area” which presents an update to the existing natural environment of the study area as well as recommends a preferred stormwater management strategy for the proposed Riverside South Community. By this Notice, the 2016 MDPU is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015). Please note that only the changes proposed in the MDPU are open for review. Copies of the Riverside South Community Master Drainage Plan Update for the Rideau River Study Area are now available for reviewing at the following locations: Ben Franklin Place Client Service Centre 101 Centrepoint Drive Ottawa, ON K2G 5K7 Tel: 613-580-2400

Local moms plan Great Gower Run for youth resources Event to raise funds for potential skatepark, youth centre Kelly McCarthy kmccarthy@metroland.com
Youth are the future – and a group of moms in North Gower want to make sure their local youth have what they need to succeed. Four women – Jennifer Williams, Andrea Ross, Rosanna Dolinki and Tara Hawkins-Kavanagh – have started an initiative to fundraise for local youth with their first event: the Great Gower Run. This inaugural event, scheduled for Oct. 1, will direct all proceeds to local youth community initiatives in North Gower and youth mental health and wellness initiatives across Ottawa. “We want to get the kids off the streets,” said Jennifer Williams, adding that since there are not many activity options for youth nearby in North Gower, the popular thing to do is walk around town. “A lot of people complain about kids being on the streets all the time.” The idea to host the Great Gower Run came to the group of women, Andrea Ross said, when they had the idea to create a skatepark or youth centre in the community. “Two of us are runners,” she said, “so it made sense to organize a run.” The Great Gower Run will include 2K, 5K and 10K distance options and a toddler run for the younger ones. The 5K and 10K are professionally-timed, and the 2K distance is family friendly – strollers and leashed pets are welcome. Races will start at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre (2300 Community Way, North Gower) on Oct. 1 at 9:30 a.m. for the 2K and at 10:15 a.m. for the 5K and 10K. Registration can be done online in advance of the Sept. 29 deadline at www.greatgowerrun.wixsite. com/2016. Each race, Ross said,
will be completed on closed roads, with the exception of a portion of the 10K that will be completed on low traffic roads. In addition to snacks after the races, the Great Gower Run will also boast wellness tents with complementary cupping – a deep tissue massage involving heated glass cups applied to the skin – and acupuncture done by local naturopathic medicine outlet Vis Tree.
“We want to get the kids off the streets. A lot of people complain about kids being on the streets all the time.” JENNIFER WILLIAMS
Organizers are also hoping to have a barbecue going throughout the day, both for runners and their cheering squads. The Great Gower Run
happens to fall on the eve of the North Gower firefighters’ food drive, and so donations of canned goods and other non-perishable items will be accepted throughout the day as well. For their own cause, Williams and Ross said they hope to see 300 runners participate in their first event. So far, they have at least 165 registered and the number keeps climbing. “The more, the better,” Williams said. “It’s for our youth so we want to see as many people as we can.” The Great Gower Run is the first in a series of fundraisers the moms hope to host in the upcoming months to put towards their goal of creating more youth resources in their community. “We’re not sure where we want to go with it yet,” said Ross. “But we know we want to do something.” More information on the Great Gower Run, including registration details, can be found at www.greatgowerrun.wixsite.com/2016.

Jacob said he intends to take the job seriously and although he finds it hard to pick one thing about the hospital he loves (he loves everything) he is quick to say they saved his life. “CHEO is my life. CHEO is one of the best hospitals ever. The doctors and nurses are amazing,” Jacob said. Jacob will also travel to Orlando, Fla., to be part of a Children’s Miracle Network Momentum conference at Disney World. There Jacob will have a chance to meet other champions from

On hand to welcome Jacob as the new CHEO champion was last year’s champ, eight year-old Hodan Osman. Hodan had the pleasure of handing over the reigns – in this case Mickey Mouse ears – to Jacob. “I think Jacob is going to have an amazing time,” Hodan said. Like Hodan, Jacob will now represent CHEO throughout the coming year as the face of the 2017
Walmart campaign. According to Walmart, this campaign is one of the easiest to have nearly all of its 94,000 associates across Canada participate in. After a seven-year battle with a rare brain cancer and Schwannoma, a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow on nerve endings, Jacob continues to inspire and amaze his mother, Liliane Randell. “He’s got this connection with everyone he meets,” she said. “He’s seen more than he should and has lived
beyond his years, and just when you think he can’t do something – he goes and amazes you.” That is why she said he is the perfect choice to represent CHEO. The champions program honours children who have triumphed over various medical challenges. Children are selected as ambassadors and represent the 17 million children treated each year at Children’s Miracle Network member hospitals in Canada and the U.S.

A peaceful night’s rest was often hard to come by for George Roper in the years after he served during the Second World War. Nightmares haunted him. “You wake up in the middle of the night,” recalled Roper, 92. “You’re right out of it and talking about things. Killing people doesn’t come naturally to you.” Today, Roper is open about the post-traumatic stress disorder he grappled with in the aftermath of the war years, though there was no medical help for it in those days. His experiences, in part, inspired him to grip the arms of his walker and carry through with 22 squats in his room at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre on Aug. 24, coinciding with the centre’s launch of its participation in the 22 Push Ups – 22 Days Challenge.

da we have lost 160 veterans to suicide between 2004 and (March) 2014.” It was only natural for the centre to get behind the awareness campaign and show support for those who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Of the 450 residents who live at the Perley Rideau, 250 are military veterans. “So we are no strangers to PTSD in the way that we

The real new year for students New Year’s Day may be Jan. 1, but for kids over a certain age and their parents, their real new year’s day is now. Yes, it’s back to school time across the city. Most French language schools welcomed students back to class the last week of August and English language schools started this week. And with the return to school – and thousands of students on the streets near schools and school buses back on our roads – once again police are reminding all of us to keep our eyes open as we go about our business in our vehicles, and that school zone speed limits are now in full force and the flashing lights of a school bus mean STOP. You’d think that people wouldn’t have to be reminded not to go speeding through a school zone, that those flashing lights on a school bus mean you must stop and that drivers need to be vigilant in watching for youngsters out and about near schools on school days, but some people need to be reminded anyway. And with new some new schools opening up this year in fast growing areas of the city, there
are some places where drivers may not be used to being in a school zone, which is yet another reason to be extra careful. That need for drivers to know where they are and be extra vigilant near schools was illuminated recently when a new signalized pedestrian crossing – called a PXO – was unveiled on Aug. 29 on Renaud Road; the day before students went back to school at Notre-DameDes-Champs elementary school. At the opening, as several neighbourhood students and the school principal crossed the road, several cars and trucks sped through the crossing despite flashing lights signalling them to stop. If that kind of driver behaviour continues it is only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs. And no one wants that to happen. So let’s all keep in mind that it is back to school time, and the excitement of the rush back to school is on. And for all the students out there, whether you want to hear this or not —happy new year to you!
Everyone seems to be an expert on schools So they’re back in school this week. Now we, the grownups can start paying attention to education again, which isn’t always good news for the kids. Grownups, having gone to school themselves many years ago, are all experts on it. Regardless of what decade we were in class, that decade was the best and this decade suffers by comparison. Teachers were strict, the curriculum was better and there wasn’t all that modern fiddlefaddle about this and that. Or so people say. Grandparents may be the worst. We learned to spell, we learned our times tables, we memorized the names of all the queens and kings, we diagrammed sentences and we got our sex education the traditional way, from what some older kid said out in the schoolyard.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Whereas kids today — well, we don’t exactly know what they’re learning because we don’t exactly understand it ourselves. But it can’t be as good. It’s odd that there should be this gap between what schools do and what we think they should be doing because there has never been a time when parents were more involved in their children’s schools, never been a time when there was more communication between teacher and parent. The emails go back and forth. The advisory committees meet and meet. Yet somehow the whole
process remains a mystery. Maybe that’s a good thing. If parents understood more, they’d meddle more. Not that they don’t try. Ask any teacher. Ask any principal. But the schools have managed to keep their defences strong, built their walls high. The impenetrability of the school fortress is manifest in its ability to keep parents completely in the dark as to what’s going on in there. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the report cards the children bring home, in which their progress is described in boiler-plate phrases that may or may not indicate the child is doing well, may or may not indicate that the child is failing miserably. It’s likely that a lot of parents don’t ask for clarification, fearing the worst.

So they become active in other ways, carefully scrutinizing the playground equipment for hitherto unrecognized dangers to life and limb, keeping an eye out for offensive reading material in the school library, scanning population trends to make sure that when schools have to close they are somewhere else. The parents are also raising money however they can to finance the equipment schools used to get as a matter of course. Meanwhile, lurking out in the population are politicians quarrelling with the curriculum, journalists and academics offering helpful suggestions, trustees and would-be trustees promising to cut the alleged fat from school budgets. Amazingly, given all the turmoil their parents go through, given all the obstacles put in the way of teachers and administrators, the kids come home pretty happy every day. They seem to be learning at least some things at EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Joe Morin joe.morin@metroland.com 613-221-6240 REPORTER: Kelly McCarthy kmccarthy@metroland.com, 613-221-6159
a rate far more rapid than their parents and know-it-all grandparents did. And for the luckiest of them, the neighbourhood school survives, a hub of the community, its playgrounds full of kids, bake sales and book sales in the gymnasium and cafeteria. Parents fight for that, the neighbourhood school, and good for them. Meddling isn’t always so bad.

Sisters share daydreams and fears under sunny skies
T
he hot sun was beating down on my sister Audrey and me. We were on our backs in the long grass watching the soft white clouds form and reform in the mostly blue sky above. It was a favourite pastime for me. Not so much for Audrey, who went along with it because she knew how much I liked to pretend the clouds were little dogs, someone with long flowing white hair, or any number of things I could muster up in my young imagination. But that day was different. Audrey talked to me just as if I was her best friend Iva. Rarely did my older sister ever include me in serious chat. After all she was years older than I was. But that afternoon, it was like she had to get off her mind what she was thinking about. “I wish I could see the future,” she said softly. I knew there was more to come. “I would
MARY COOK Memories like to know what I will be doing when I am finished at the Northcote School.” I looked over at her face. Her eyes were closed. She wasn’t looking at the clouds above us. “I really want to be a nurse. Or a teacher.” I knew she would make a wonderful teacher. Didn’t she spend hours with me showing me how to knit, embroider, print in my scribbler, and go over my spelling? And as far as being a nurse was concerned, I didn’t know one living soul in all of Renfrew County who had
a kinder heart. She would make a wonderful nurse. And I could picture her in her uniform, with a nurse’s cap on her brown hair, and a pin on her collar to show the world she had graduated. Audrey let out the longest sigh. I wanted to get into the conversation and so I reminded her of what our mother always said: “You can do anything you want to do, if you want to do it badly enough.” I thought that would make Audrey feel better, because she certainly didn’t seem too happy to me.

But what I said didn’t seem to make her feel any better. And I told her I thought she should be a teacher and come back to the Northcote School when Miss Crosby was too old to teach anymore. “That will never happen,” she said in a voice I could hardly hear. “Well, what about being a nurse? Now, it’s the last thing I would want to be. I hate blood! But, Audrey, you would make a wonderful nurse.” She opened her eyes and looked at the soft white clouds moving in the sky, and I was pretty sure I could see that she was trying awfully hard not to cry. Why she would be feeling so sad on such a beautiful day was beyond me! “No, that will never happen,” she said, in a voice so low I could hardly hear her. I wanted to know why. After all, she was smart and I thought she could be anything she wanted to be, and
if she wanted to be either a nurse or a teacher, all she would have to do, is go out and do it. So I asked her why. What would stop her from being either? “Because there is no money. It costs money to be a nurse, and we could never afford to send me to Teacher’s College. No, I’m afraid I’ll never be either.” Now, there really were tears. Just gently rolling down her cheeks and into her hair. I knew if I reached out and touched her, it would cause a flood, so I stayed perfectly still and waited for Audrey to say something else. Finally, there was a big sigh, and she brushed the back of her hand across her eyes. And she pointed to a huge white cloud above us, and said she thought it looked like someone riding a horse. I couldn’t see anything that resembled a horse, but I said nothing. Audrey had returned, and that was all that mattered.
But long after we got up and went to do chores, I thought about what Audrey had said. Would that be my fate too? Was I destined to live out my life on a farm out in the country? And would my sister end up like so many other young girls who finished public school, working at cleaning houses for the rich people in Renfrew or married to another farmer? Was that all could happen to a child of the Depression? I knew I would not have the answer that day. I knew, like my sister Audrey, only time would determine what the future would hold for both of us, long after the Depression was behind us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

CHANTAL MAKES A MEAN MACCHIATO
Landon Brady and Frank Chamberlain, both maintenance workers at the centre, then did 22 pushups each. Others quickly followed to do the same. One woman did 22 tai chi movements, another did 22 leg lifts, and a resident and staff member did 22 hand-clapping gestures together. Now they hope to inspire others to take part and post videos of themselves doing the challenge on the centre’s Facebook page every day over the coming weeks. Before doing 22 pushups himself, Dr. Benoit Robert, Perley Rideau’s medical director, issued a friendly push-up challenge to area politicians Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser and Ottawa South MP David McGuinty. “I am in family practice and I have first responders who have post-traumatic stress,” said Robert, who has a practice in Greenboro and is also medical co-director of the Glebe Centre’s dementia

German aircraft. “You’d never know we were in a war (because of) the secrecy about us,” said Roper, who has lived at the Perley Rideau for about two years. It was his job to install and maintain radar systems while stationed outside of London, England. He flew many missions with his fellow airmen on de Havilland Mosquito combat planes, including during D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. Roper also became familiar with the suffering of others in his post-war work as a psychologist, conducting research in Montreal and helping set up Canada’s first rural psychiatric clinic in Digby, N.S. When he first heard about the 22 Push Ups Challenge, Roper thought it was only fitting he do his part. “I worked with so many,” Roper said, adding that very few veterans who returned home from the war – himself included – spoke about the trauma they had lived through. “That was the problem,” he said.
program. “It’s much more prevalent and people just suffer in silence.” Recent research estimates that 10 to 15 per cent of Canadian veterans return home from conflict zones with PTSD, including those who were deployed to Afghanistan and other danger zones, such as the Balkan region of Europe, Robert said, adding that awareness is needed to help more people understand the toll of PTSD on military members, first responders and victims of trauma. “We’ll see a lot more of that with the Syrian refugees,” he said. “I’m sure certain scenes will trigger memories and feelings of being under control and under fire.” There was a time when solders’ reactions to battle were labelled as shell shock, said Roper. He was just 18 years old when he enlisted in the Royal Air Force, leaving his home in Sydney Mines, Cape Breton to train as a radar operator before heading to England where he served with a squadron that was later credited with shooting down 268

In search of a good night’s sleep
I
t wasn’t very hot on Sunday but by noon the humidity was so oppressive it was like walking into a wet blanket. It hit you in the face and sucked the breath out of you. I decided to turn the air conditioning on so that I would have the energy to clean the house. It seemed to work. The temperature didn’t really change in the two hours I had the A/C on but the humidity was moderated. I could breathe. When you live in a big farmhouse, just the two of you, with four other unpopulated bedrooms and many different rooms, it can be difficult to moderate the temperature. In winter we stock up the wood stove, close the doors on the rooms that aren’t being used, and wear extra sweaters and socks. In summer, the upper floor of the house can be quite stifling. It takes the air conditioning all day to cool things down and with just the two of us here, I can hardly justify the use of electricity. Until the middle of the night, when I can’t sleep. I had to close the windows downstairs because the barn cat decided when he wants in he’s just going to rip a hole in the screen. The beast did that the other night and left such a gaping hole that when I went into the kitchen at midnight I discovered a tiny green frog sitting on the stove. Add window screens to the list of items that need to be replaced. The windows were open upstairs but we don’t get much of a breeze in our room on the east side of the farmhouse. I flipped and flopped for a few hours, trying to get comfortable in the stuffy bedroom. The Farmer was pretty content, his fan trained right on his face. I

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife can’t sleep with a fan blowing my hair over my nose. I packed up my pillow and went to the opposite end of the house, where there is a spare bed and the breeze (if there is any) is constantly blowing right in the window. I lasted about an hour in there until mosquitoes found me. And the blinking from the computer in the corner kept waking me up. Bedroom number three was perfect. Just the right breeze, lighting and proximity to my husband’s fan so that I can still hear the white noise but not feel it. I drifted off into a sound, deep sleep. Until the cows came out. Why, in the middle of the night (about 2:30 a.m.) did the cows come out? They usually stay in the barn until sunrise. I could hear them calling and answering each other in the dark. I worried that a fisher or coyote was in the barnyard, harassing the calves. Down I went, out onto the back porch, and trained a flashlight into the pitch black. There was the entire herd, gathered around the burn barrel. They appeared to be discussing its contents after our annual farm party clean-up. “Hey. What are you doing? Would you please shut up?!” I shouted my rhetorical questions at the bawling bovines. They turned and looked at me, 25 pairs of blinking, glowing eyes. Finally. Silence. Back to bed. I slept for about two more hours when a cold wind from the
Arctic suddenly flew up the pasture and into my bedroom window. I had to get under the duvet and bundle up. I got to sleep about two more hours before the sun – and the Farmer –woke me. I realized my head was completely congested – not sure whether it’s allergies or a cold because in August the two seem to be interchangeable. The humidity gets you all stuffed up, then the cold gives you a chill. I wandered into the bathroom to assess the bags under my eyes. Ugh. It was going to be a long day. According to the meteorologists at Environment Canada, we broke records in July. It was the hottest month on record. I’m wondering where we stand now, as July seems to have extended an additional month. That wasn’t me complaining though. No, sirree. Six months from now we will likely be praying for a break in the frigid cold – the kind that makes your eyes water, hurts your face and sucks the breath out of you. Enjoy what is left of summer! The Accidental Farmwife will be at the Russell Fair on Sunday, Sept. 11, reading and signing books. Email: dianafisher1@ gmail.com www.dianafisherbooks. com

CORA (ID# A193617)
Walk or Run and Show you Care The OHS Wiggle Waggle Walkathon and Run for the Animals are a lot of wonderful things: a great day out, a fun time with your family and your dogs, a chance to see breeds of dogs you never see anywhere else, and a chance to mingle with other caring and committed people in Ottawa. The run is all that and a chance to set a personal best. But, they do have a very serious purpose: they are literally life-saving events. We can plan all year long to create an event that is bigger and better than the one before, but only you can make them a success.The animals depend on you on this one day for their future.
You will remember last year, the event was struck by a huge, unprecedented electrical storm. It wasn’t looking good for the animals, but you and our community saved the day, and saved the lives of hundreds of animals by being there with your gift when they needed you. The weather looks like it is going to return to the beautiful days that we are used to for the events, but the animals still need you. You were here for Daisy, a kitten found in a zip-tied box into a Kanata dumpster in May. Only because of you could Daisy be treated for dehydration, her eye infection and her compromised respiratory system. You came through and allowed the OHS vet to treat her with fluids, antibiotics and eye ointment. And because of you she was adopted late last spring. TheWalk and Run helped save Betsy, our walk spokesdog. Betsy exemplifies the animals that need you and the OHS. Betsy was a puppy mill survivor, the scars on her body tell us of her life: multiple litters, sores from years of sleeping without bedding, teeth rotting in her mouth, and overgrown nails from a lifetime of neglect. Betsy needed dental surgeries, to be spayed, and treatment for a bladder infection, grooming and time in foster. But she was adopted in the spring.A new life, because you walked, you ran, you cared. Please sign up and start collecting pledges today. Please be there this year, on this one day, for the Daisys and the Betsys that are here right now in our shelter, and they need you to walk, to run and to care. Pet of the Week: Cora (ID# A193617) Meet Cora, a curious rabbit who is waiting to hop into her forever home. Cora is an inquisitive rabbit who loves to explore. She’d like a home where she can spend plenty of time outside of her cage exercising and interacting with her new family. Rabbits like Cora are social and intelligent animals that make great pets. If you’ve been thinking about adding a rabbit to your family, stop by the OHS and meet Cora today! For more information on Cora 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.
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:

SPECIAL PAYMENT PLANS
4
DAYS ONLY!
SPECIAL PAYMENT PLANS *“No Fee, No Interest� payment plans (i.e. Special payment plans), such as equal payments plans and deferred payment plans, are only available on request, on approved credit with a Canadian Tire branded credit card issued by Canadian Tire Bank and on purchases of items at Canadian Tire of $200 or more (excluding gift cards). Interest does not accrue during the period of the plan. However, if we do not receive the full minimum due on a statement within 59 days of the date of that statement, or any event of default (other than a payment default) occurs under your Cardmember Agreement, all special payment plans on your account will terminate and (i) you will then be charged interest on the balances outstanding on such plans at the applicable regular annual rate from the day after the date of your next statement, and (ii) the balances outstanding will form part of the balance due on that statement. There is no administration fee charged for entering into a special payment plan.
Additional Information: “Equal Payments, No Interest� for 12 months (unless stated otherwise): Not available on purchases using a Low Rate OptionsŽ MasterCardŽ. Each month during an equal payments plan you are required to pay in full by the due date that month’s equal payments plan instalment. Any unpaid portion not received by the due date will no longer form part of the equal payments plan and interest will accrue on that amount from the day after the date of your next statement at the applicable regular annual rate. “No Payments, No Interest� for 12 months (unless stated otherwise): Payment will be required following the deferral period as per your Cardmember Agreement. At the end of the deferral period, the balance outstanding will bear interest at your applicable regular annual rate in effect at that time. 24 month equal payments plan offer expires on September 15, 2016.
