News – A homeowner’s modern design is raising the ire of some residents hoping to preserve the historic character of Manotick’s Dickinson Square.

Rideau Forest resident John Brulé owns the building at 1120 Mill St. which is nestled between Watson’s Mill and Knox Presbyterian Church in the historic square.

He has applied to the city for a minor variance to allow him to maintain the irregular setbacks currently in place on the property.

His application asks for a setback of 19.77 metres from the Rideau River, while the bylaw calls for 30 metres.

The current building already has a setback of about 19 metres, since the property is only about 35 metres deep to begin with, but the zoning bylaws have changed since it was built.

In order to secure his building permit, Brulé needs to jump through the hoops of having

those setbacks maintained.

But that wasn’t what interested most residents at a Manotick Village and Community Association meeting on Sept. 25, which drew a crowd of about 25 people to learn about the project.

As a rendering of Brulé’s modern one-storey design circulated around the room, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt made it clear he “strongly opposed” the building’s design in the context of Dickinson Square.

“It’s an incredibly modern building in a historic square, and it just doesn’t fit,” the councillor said. “That’s the exact kind of thing I don’t want to see in the square.”

The proposal is for a flatroofed one-storey building with an in-ground pool and attached garage, totalling about 3,000 square feet. The exterior offers contemporary, geometric accents of wood, stone and glass.

Moffatt is also chair of the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation, which is responsible for “promoting and preserving” the character of the square while it works to sell or lease the square’s heritage properties to recoup the city’s expenses.

Once Moffatt spoke up – raising the tension in the room considerably – several residents followed suit.

“We are all interested in maintaining a certain look and feel for the square,” said Allan Haan, a board member of the community association. “As attractive as (the proposal) is, it’s out of character with the mill square.”

Youth centre proposal gains support Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Manotick’s youth crusaders may have found a home for their youth centre, if all goes well with city officials.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt told the Manotick Youth Centre Committee on Sept. 24 that he supports building a youth centre on a sliver of land in Centennial Park, which advocates hope will become a social hub

for Manotick teens. “(Moffatt) understands the community is behind this and we need something more for our youth than hanging out at the skate park or the Pizza Pizza,” said Janice Domaratzki, the Manotick Village and Community Association member leading the project.

If the city application is approved, the youth centre would be built on the site of the old tennis clubhouse, between the outdoor skating rink and Beaverwood Road.

The committee must put together a formal proposal outlining exactly what they want to build, which Moffatt will take to city staff for consideration.

Domaratzki is optimistic Moffatt can help them secure the land. “When you have a councillor championing something, it moves a lot faster,” she said.

“I think the city will pay more attention.”

Residents want to work with Mill Street homeowner Association president Klaus Beltzner offered an olive branch, suggesting that the designers – who have no legal obligation to take residents’ wishes into account – consider the architectural guidelines that were developed to make sure a coming development on nearby Clapp Lane fits in with the historical nature of the square. “What I’m looking for is the desire to work together to make this a great contribution to the square and for (him) to be happy in it,�

Beltzner said.

BrulĂŠ said he would consider the guidelines and make changes if they worked

with the overall design concept. “I might be even happier than I am now,� he said.

A mill stone currently sitting in BrulÊ’s basement will likely become a prominent part of the landscaping, he said.

He is willing to donate beams from the original Manotick bridge that are currently a part of his home.

He is also going to match the stone on his home to that of the mill. “We didn’t want anything to fight with the church and the mill,� said architect Andre Godin.

The building’s footprint will certainly grow – about 1,000 square feet more than the 2,200 square foot build-

ing that exists there now – but the visible frontage along Mill Street will remain the same: about 40 feet, Godin said.

The project will also save as many of the property’s trees as possible, except for the ones that are inside the new building’s footprint, he said.

Moffatt maintained his conviction that he speaks for most residents in the village when he opposes the modern construction in the square.

He said he is going to try and apply the architectural guidelines to the entire square through Manotick’s upcoming secondary plan review, although they wouldn’t apply retroactively to this development.

Youth centre a must for communty

FL

Continued from the front

Ideally, the city would agree to a similar set-up as the Osgoode Youth Association (OYA), which converted the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old fire hall into a youth centre a decade ago.

In that case, the city pays the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance and utility costs, while its advocates must fundraise for operating costs including staff salaries and programming.

Domaratzki said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to OYAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board for guidance as the Manotick project inches forward.

OYA director Nicole McKerracher said getting a building secured is key. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest challenge: having the city see the value in having youth programs in our village,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Domaratzki hopes Manotickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre will be finished within two years.

Manotick teen Josh Luckett is a member of a Manotick Youth Leadership Group put together by outreach workers at the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre (NROCRC) to bring some temporary programs to the village.

He offered a presentation at an information meeting on Sept. 24 that offered a broad vision of what a youth centre could look like for local youth.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a safe place for teens to be social and talk to each other without peer pressure and bad influences coming in,â&#x20AC;? Luckett wrote in his presentation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A place where people can be themselves, help shy people to interact, help foster leadership roles, a safe place to get away from any home life troubles. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want kids turning towards trying alcohol and drugs to satisfy boredom or to escape their everyday lives.â&#x20AC;?

He and his peers envision a welcoming space with foosball tables and dart boards, â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfy furniture,â&#x20AC;? a kitchen area where they can practice their cooking skills, sports equipment and arts materials.

Scheduled events would allow teens to try new things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; photography, guitar or art, for example â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and homework hours would allow them to help each other excel at school.

In the meantime, the leadership group, with the help of the resource centre, is working to provide some youth-led programming, particularly for those ages 12 to 15 who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet drive or take a part-time job.

The group has hosted two successful events so far: the first was a drop-in night at the Manotick legion, and the other was a cooking workshop at the Manotick arena, both supervised by staff at the resource centre.

The next event is a Halloween party on Oct. 25 at the

legion.

Now staff at the resource centre are trying to secure more funding to keep those programs going until a youth centre can be built.

They are waiting to hear back on a $2,000 application to the United Way, and will apply for a Rural Community Building Grant as well.

But funding and fundraising will be on ongoing problem for the youth centre committee.

First, the group will have to raise enough money to build the youth centre. After that, they have to keep it running.

OYAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating budget is about $170,000 a year, and is sourced through an ongoing campaign of events, donation drives, grant applications and some government funding.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big source of anxiety for Domaratzki. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worry that we will not have enough community participation from adults as we work to make this centre a reality,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes more than one or two people to make it happen. We need adults to step up and be part of the planning, fundraising and building process.â&#x20AC;?

At a meeting on Sept. 24, Domaratzki invited interested parents to volunteer in areas of their expertise, be it communications, fundraising, or recruiting other people to help out.

News - Non-profit groups in Manotick are shocked and worried that they owe the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for sewer improvements.

The charges for sewer extensions in Manotick are part of the city’s efforts to finally collect fees known as “local improvement charges” from property owners.

“They signed a petition because they needed sewer service and they got it and they’re glad they have it. Now they are finding that they have to pay for it,” said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt.

“They knew there would be a cost,” he said. But the groups didn’t realize they’d actually have to pay it, since they are exempt from property taxes.

Moffatt, who was heading the court of revision meeting because the regularchairwoman Coun. Jan Harder was away, committed to working to erase the amounts owed by properties in Manotick village that are exempt from taxes. That includes three churches, the legion hall and Watson’s Mill, which doesn’t have washrooms or potable water.

The non-profit seniors’ residence, Hyfield Place, is a similar case and Moffatt will be looking into that. Although it isn’t exempt from property taxes, the city subsidizes half the 30 units as affordable housing. Hyfield Place owes $142,000 for the sewer improvement.

The local improvement charges apply to a number of infrastructure improvements across Ottawa that were requested by property owners who agreed to pay for the upgrades because they weren’t warranted for the city to undertake.

But while the city has been undertaking local improvement construction for a decade, it never sent the bills to the property owners.

City lawyer Tim Marc said the delay is a result of the city focusing on getting the construction done instead of enforcing the payments in a timely manner.

“We acknowledge that it should have been done more quickly,” Marc said.

While the city made a mistake by not collecting the money soon enough, it doesn’t mean property owners should be off the

hook for expensive upgrades the city made at owners’ requests, Moffatt said.

“They should be expected to pay for it,” Moffatt said. “I realize it took too long, but that’s the reality of local improvements.”

Delays in collecting the fees are “not a fair argument” for residents not to pay, Moffatt said.

“They’re the ones that asked for the work to be done,” he said. “If you’re a regular resident of the City of Ottawa, is that OK for you to then accept that charge because we took too long to charge it to the people who asked for it. So we’ll just let the entire city pay for the work. You’re talking about millions of dollars.”

support, said staff will look at the issue and see if there is a fix that could be brought to council before the end of the year.

An important consideration is for property owners who fall into that category to ensure they register to delay their payments to begin in June of 2014, Marc said, leaving time for the city to work out the kinks in the relief program.

He also advised people to seek their own legal advice on the matter.

Interest charges have also been reduced or waived on some of the charges.

NEW OWNERS COULD BE EXEMPT

• Legget Drive extension: $217,102 • Navan Road water main extension: $14,545 • Kempark sanitary sewer: $67,438 • Innes Road sanitary sewer extensions: $149,413 • Pagé Road sanitary sewer extension: $107,489 • Winding Way North water main extension: $45,400 • Manotick sanitary sewer extension (core area): $240,000 • Manotick sanitary sewer extension (Hillside Gardens): $191,480 • Rideau Glen sanitary sewer extension: $32,473 • Eagleson Road noise barrier: $18,182 • Farmers Way water main extension: $21,474

Owners who bought their properties unaware of the extra charge won’t have to pay, however.

In June, the city approved a program to provide relief for 73 property owners who should be on the hook to pay the city a total of $1.1 million. The city would absorb that cost instead.

The committee agreed that outstanding local improvement charges should be dismissed if the owner bought the property after the infrastructure construction and if the tax certificate did not list the pending charges. Those property owners would also have to sign an affidavit saying they were not aware of the pending charges when they bought the property.

At issue now is whether the city should accept a different type of documentation from owners to prove they were unaware of extra charges owing on their property when they purchased it.

Ron Corbett, a Manotick resident, said the city’s program doesn’t offer “real relief” because real estate agents advise homebuyers to register for title insurance – not a tax certificate.

“We did not request a tax certificate,” he told the court of revision. “We have title insurance, which is the norm.

“We certainly were not expecting a hidden tax liability that is the same amount as four years of taxes.”

That leaves property owners who could benefit from the relief program in a pickle because they don’t have the right paperwork.

“Clearly we have a condition that might not be appropriate in terms of capturing the people we were intending to capture,” Moffatt said.

News – The Township of Osgoode Care Centre was the hottest spot on the block as it unveiled its much-awaited fireman calendar at the facility on Sept. 26.

Firefighters, family members, local business owners and area residents poured into the longterm care home on Snake Island Road to get a first look at the 2014 calendar, which hits stores this week.

The care centre’s fundraising committee partnered with volunteer firefighters at Station 91 in Metcalfe to produce the calendar.

Throughout the 12 months, residents and firefighters are pictured in all sorts of situations – some hilarious, some sweet and some downright silly.

One month, resident Eleanor Norris teaches a class while two firefighters pass notes under their desks; in another, residents drive off in the truck with the firefighters in hot pursuit.

Flipping through the pages, a resident has her cat rescued, flowers are handed out and firefighters join residents for a sing-a-long around the piano.

Burt Lamoureux, the station’s public education representative,

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Al Graham gets an autograph from firefighter Burt Lamoureux at the launch of the Osgoode Care Centre’s fireman calendar on Sept. 26. said the guys had an incredible time working with the residents to make the calendar.

“We had so much fun doing it, it should have been a Youtube video,” he laughed. He said he can’t look at any of the photos without remembering all the hilarious things that happened on

set throughout the five photo shoots. The fact that the calendar will help people in his community only makes it better.

“This is the community we all live in,” he said. “Some of have us have friends and family who live here.” The care centre has been working to raise $500,000 to up-

grade the facility from top to bottom. The committee has printed 1,000 calendars, which are being sold for $20 each.

They will be available at the facility and various stores throughout the region.

Many of us may experience heaviness in our legs, swelling and/or poor circula on in our life me and using gradient compression hose can help to move the blood more efficiently back to your heart.

Just because our health needs require products to assist us doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice our fashion or lifestyle for it. BioPed Footcare Centre www.bioped.com in O awa, Ontario offers a complete range of compression stockings, ideal for relieving pain resul ng from general aches and pains, diseases and disorders, while also having an appearance that doesn’t get in the way of our lifestyles and fashion choices.

These aren’t your grandmother’s compression stockings www.bioped.com/products compression_stockings.asp.

Compression stockings have a somewhat falsified reputa on that they are ugly brown stockings (o en mes worn only by seniors) without a hint of a stylish note. This impression may have been accurate years ago, but it is not so today. BioPed offers a stylish variety of compression stockings, appealing

for both genders and all personal styles. Our compression stockings are available in an array of colours, pa erns, styles, and levels of sheerness.

When you wear these compression stockings, no one will know the difference from regular socks or stockings; you can look great and feel great, too!

Compression stockings are useful to relieve and treat a wide range of condi ons. You do not have to be a senior to feel the benefits of compression stockings. Many pregnant women who experience swelling of the feet and legs find relief wearing them, just as someone would if they have a vein condi on or diabetes. BioPed understands that pain can occur for both men and women, people of all ages, and as a result of a wide range of condi ons. That’s why we offer a great selec on of compression stockings that are effec ve, comfortable, discreet and stylish.

secondary plan review

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Manotick Village and Community Association president Klaus Beltzner explains his views to city planner Rose Kung at a meeting about the upcoming secondary plan review. alongside the city.

Residents are wary of a cityled plan, board member Brian Tansley said, because the last secondary plan created 15 years ago was indefensible at the Ontario Municipal Board, which allowed Minto to win rights to its Mahogany development the mid-2000s.

Kung said her team plans to improve the secondary plan to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make it more watertightâ&#x20AC;? but wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit to a community-led process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parks (department) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it as a community-driven plan,â&#x20AC;? she told the small crowd at the Manotick library.

The villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary plan review was supposed to take place last year as part of a citywide village policy review, but when city staff got into the consultation process they realized more work was needed than time allowed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of things to update,â&#x20AC;? Kung said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we

said we would do it at a future date, and that date is now.â&#x20AC;?

The planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment lands policy to have commercial development near Highway 416 is out of date with provincial laws to protect prime farmland, for example, and zoning by-laws also no longer sync with the plan, Kung said.

She said the review will require a village core and connectivity study to explore where sidewalks and paths are needed. A parking study is also necessary.

The city completed some of the reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial legwork in 2012, when they held several public meetings to hear from residents what needs to be changed or updated in the secondary plan.

Even though the process was deferred, the information is still valid, Kung said. She hopes to bring the terms of reference plan to the community later this fall.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For Manotick, by Manotick: thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what villagers want to see as the city initiates its secondary plan review this fall.

At the Manotick Village and Community Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly meeting on Sept. 25, community leaders told city planner Rose Kung that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough to give feedback to the city as it updates the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main planning document; they want to play a major part in its development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to drive the process and benefit from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise,â&#x20AC;? said Pierre Viau, a vice-president at the community association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not asking to be consulted,â&#x20AC;? added association president Klaus Beltzner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be part of the work, and the planning of that work.â&#x20AC;?

The city is currently developing its terms of reference for Manotickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary plan review process, which it hopes to bring to the community for feedback sometime this fall.

The terms of reference would define what parts of the document need to be updated, what kinds of consultants and experts are needed to get it done, and what role the community will play.

Ideally, Beltzner wants a steering committee with representatives from Manotick residents, business owners, local developers and other stakeholders to guide the review process Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get your

United Way needs clear goals

T

he United Way Ottawa announced a $21million community campaign goal on Sept.

24, a significant drop from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target of $30 million.

Simple subtraction tells us the organization is looking to raise $9 million less than the 2012-13 fundraising year.

The decrease seems to follow a disturbing trend over the past two years. In 2011, the organization announced a $33 million goal, but fell short by $1 million; the following year the target was set at $30 million.

On the face of it, the numbers seem to indicate the charity will have fewer dollars to support local charities. But numbers can be deceiving, according to the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director Michael Allen during last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakfast launch at the Ernest and Young Centre.

Allen explains the $9 million drop in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign target as not less, just different.

We scratched our collective heads over that reasoning. Unfortunately, the campaign offers a confusing chain of logic to explain how much money it needs to raise and how it uses the money, turning the process into a benign form of a classic shell game.

Yes, the charity is looking to raise fewer dollars

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target only includes donations to local United Way programs.

Donors will still be able to donate money to other charities, said Allen, but that money is considered separate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beyond the $21 million campaign goal.

Three years ago, the United Way Ottawa changed the way it allocated funds collected during the campaign, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. In fact, the organization is actually looking to increase the amount of money it allocates to its community partners based on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of roughly $16 million. But the problem is the United Way is doing a poor job of communicating how it defines its needs and the way it uses campaign dollars.

Confusing potential donors could ultimately translate into fewer donations.

The United Way Ottawa spends too much time telling us how much the charity wants to help people, as opposed to defining those needs and presenting a simple-to-understand battle plan.

When a charity announces a drop in its fundraising target, it only makes sense to offer a straightforward explanation for the decrease.

With so many charities out there competing for limited donations, it only makes sense to put together a good sales pitch.

City life could use a little more country flair

I

n the fall fair season we get a chance to see things from a different perspective.

That can be simple as noticing the houses in a small town as you cruise the small-town streets looking for a place to park, or it can be as profound as witnessing significant instances of behaviour modification.

For example: standing in the mud in front of the merry-go-round at the Richmond Fair and waiting for grandchildren to revolve past me, I notice something odd about the 20 or so adults on the contraption.

None of them is checking a phone.

You have to admit thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty remarkable. When was the last time you looked at 20 adults and none was checking a phone?

1997? Or maybe in church, although even that is by no means certain.

People will check their phones any time, any place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just that someone may be phoning them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also that the phone has a weather update, a hockey score, a favourite song, a movie review, a Sudoku, a text â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each of which could be more interesting than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on right here, right now.

They are called smart phones, although the adjective does not automatically apply to their owners.

Knowing the power of the smart phone,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town it is an event when you notice people not checking it. So it leads you to investigate further.

That investigation reveals that it is not just on the merry-go-round that people are not checking their phones. It is all over the fairgrounds. People walk by talking with each other, looking around, seemingly aware of their surroundings. It is quite refreshing.

The question is why. We are people, remember, who value our communications devices so much that we now must carry a bagful of wires, in case our phones need charging, or our iPads or BlackBerrys or iPods.

(As an aside, did you ever stop to think about how many more wires we all need to carry now that we are in the Wireless Age?) Why do people not check their phones at

the fair?

The answer has to be that they are afraid they will miss something if they do. There are all the rides, including that whirly one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to pay me big money to go on.

There are the animals, or that puppet show over there. There are all the booths â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the embroidery, the hats, the candy, the fresh donuts.

Fire trucks! Cotton candy! Politicians!

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at your phone you will walk right by, not noticing.

This is an important way the country fair differs from ordinary life. The country fair has variety, things you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect, things more interesting than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on your phone.

If you look down you might miss something.

For one thing, you might miss an expression on a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face.

The challenge now is to apply the products of this important new research. The goal is obvious: to make city life more like a country fair so that people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be checking their phones all the time.

But the means arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obvious. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have heavy horses all over the downtown.

Ferris wheels wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in most urban spaces.

And for all we know there are probably zoning bylaws against cotton candy in certain neighbourhoods.

Still, it would be nice if city life contained a few more pleasant surprises than it does now, even if it meant more mud on the streets.

If you look at the truly interesting city neighbourhoods in the world, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice that they contain stores that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect, stores that specialize in odd things, like clothing for pets or books about sports or country music on vinyl. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find dead-end streets and little squares with little parks, tiny churches.

You might not find banks or giant drugstores or chain coffee shops where people are busy looking at their phones.

Manotick group provides refuge for Thai family Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Manotick Karen Refugee Sponsorship Program is working to help a family of six find refuge in Ottawa after their village in Thailand was burned down.

The group hosted a barbecue at the Manotick Village Butcher Shop, which donated the food, on Saturday, Sept. 21. The event helped raise more than $560 for the refugee sponsorship program.

The goal is to raise $35,000 to help the family relocate by the end of 2014. Currently, the group has raised more than $17,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They desperately want to come â&#x20AC;Ś for hope for their children,â&#x20AC;? said Joan Bowler, one of the members of the sponsorship group.

The program is run through St. James Anglican Church in Manotick.

The parish will be responsible for housing and caring for the family for one year.

The family has to be capable of learning English within the first year and employable within two years in order to be eligible, said Bowler.

Nimrod Andrew, a member of the

Karen refugee sponsorship committee, is an invaluable resource and help in the process, added Bowler.

Andrew survived 14 years in a Thai refugee camp after his village was burned to the ground by Burmese soldiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came to Canada nine years ago as a Karen refugee on a World University Scholarship,â&#x20AC;? said Bowler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nimrod, who is a member of our committee, will be invaluable as a translator for our Karen family and a resource to help the family adjust to life in Ottawa.â&#x20AC;?

The family, which includes mother Say Paw, father Thein, and daughters Paw Ku Tee, 11, and Ku Moo, 16, along with twin sons Sar Ku Htoo and Sar Ku Say, fled to a Thailand refugee camp after their village was attacked and burned to the ground and the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather killed by the Burmese military. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have freedom, safety and security for our family,â&#x20AC;? said the parents in a note to the sponsorship program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have hope for a better life to support ourselves and to have our children educated.â&#x20AC;?

The Manotick Karen Refugee

Sponsorship Program will host a number of events over the coming months to continue raising funds: â&#x20AC;˘ Nov. 18: Valdy, born Valdemar Horsdal, is a Juno award-winning pop and folk music singer. He will

perform at St. James starting at 7:30 p.m. There will be a wine and cheese reception. â&#x20AC;˘ Dec. 7: The Anglican Christ Church Cathedral Men and Boys Choir will perform a Christmas con-

cert at St. James, with a tea reception, starting at 2:30 p.m.

Kids Have Stress Too We think of children as carefree and happy.

Sometimes as parents, we forget that our children can suffer from stress too. They may be going to a new school or daycare, getting used to a new routine or they may be watching the news of the recent tragedy in the city and hearing stories about it at school. All of these can make children feel anxious or stressed. It is important to remember that children look to parents to make them feel safe.

How can you help your children deal with stress?

• Give them your full attention and listen so you can hear what they have to say.

• Empathize with them and help them label their feelings, for example “that must have made you sad”.

• Turn off the screens to talk instead.

• Talk to them in a calm, soothing voice.

What are some of the ways that children show stress?

• Physical signs of stress can include headaches, stomach-aches, changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping and nightmares.

• Emotional signs of stress can appear as anger, sadness, crankiness or whining.

• Some children withdraw from their usual activities or have poor concentration.

• Show interest in what is bothering them no matter how minor it may seem.

• Have young children draw a picture of their feelings.

• Spend quiet time together reading, making a craft, or doing a puzzle.

Children will often talk about a problem when given the chance.

• Have dinner together as a family.

• Give them a hug.

Hadrian’s Wall to headline Metcalfe Fair Car show, truck pull return for second year Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

R0012239468_0801

News – Metcalfe’s annual agricultural fair is much more than the livestock shows it’s famous for.

This year, fairgoers can take in a number of shows over the course of the Oct. 5 weekend, including concerts from Hadrian’s Wall, DW James and the Bowes Brothers.

The family-friendly car show and truck and tractor pulls will also return Sunday afternoon after a successful inaugural year last September.

“There are lots of things to do,” said fair administrator Meredith Brophy, who said as many as 30,000 people could pass through the gate if the weather holds.

The Metcalfe Fair has been held in the village since 1856, and still boasts a strong agricultural core that includes horse shows, 4-H auctions, agricultural exhibitions and a

Osgoode resident Devin Morrison takes a spin at last year’s Metcalfe Fair. step dance and fiddling competition.

“That’s our focus, to be an agricultural fair,” Brophy said.

Still, the fair is a welcoming place even for visitors who’ve never stepped foot on a farm.

The Barn Door exhibit offers educational agricultural displays with a farm-to-fork explanation of our food system – including live animal exhibits.

On Thursday, Oct. 3 a demolition derby will put drivers to the test to see who has the last car standing. That show will be followed by a performance from the Bay County B’ys.

On Friday, Oct. 4 the Kidzland tent will open with a line-up of musicians, magicians and performers, which continues throughout the weekend. Seniors can come together inside the community centre for refreshments and entertainment in the afternoon, and DW James will take the stage on Friday night.

Saturday is by far the busiest day at the fair, with an antique tractor show, step dancing competition and several livestock shows filling up the schedule. The Bowes Brothers will entertain in the afternoon and Hadrian’s Wall will take over in the evening.

The classic car and hot rod show returns on Sunday alongside the truck pull, fashion show and a performance from Jordan McIntosh.

Flash a second ‘stache Prostate cancer event kicks off for second year Staff

News – It’s time to make Tom Selleck proud as the second annual Flash a ‘Stache campaign gets underway in Winchester.

The campaign supports prostate cancer awareness and research at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation as well as the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

Beginning in November, men and women can collect pledges to grow, groom, trim, wax, or even fashion a fake to make their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Participants will show off their facial finery at a wrap-

up event on Nov. 29 at the Joel Steele Community Centre in Winchester.

Proceeds will be split between the two foundations, with the Ottawa Hospital’s funds supporting a study program on men’s health as it relates to prostate cancer.

Last year the Flash a ‘Stache event raised $57,000 for the cause, primarily through pledges. Organizations, businesses and individuals also found innovative ways to raise funds to support this initiative. Participants can register at flashastache.ca, and must be clean shaven on Oct. 31.

“We look forward to a fun event with a focus on creating more prostate cancer awareness in the region,” said organizer Tom Clapp in a statement. “We encourage organizations and businesses to become more informed about prostate cancer through the month of November.”

For information contact Tom Clapp at 613-774-3565.

DYING FOR DIGNITY

Connected to your community

Beyond the bedside Local end-of-life experts help launch the province’s first integrated palliative program – and build a case for better funding

and creating a standardized approach for how care is delivered will go a long way, Abedi said.

Part of the challenge is bringing the entire range of palliative-care providers into the fold and adopting a common mindset. Instead of reactive, symptom-focused care delivered by several different providers who don’t necessarily communicate with each other, the regional program looks to bring all providers on board with a more holistic approach.

Providing continuity of care throughout the course of a patient’s illness is the goal. But achieving it means unraveling a complex web of family physicians, emergency-room doctors, oncologists, homecare providers, day hospice programs and more.

Something as straightforward as creating an electronic record of treatments that’s shared amongst a patient’s entire health-care team is a nut that can take months to crack, Abedi said.

Step one was creating a clearing house for processing applications for palliative care. There are now two nurses working out of Bruyère Continuing Care who use their expertise in palliative care to assess a standard intake form and place patients on a waiting list for the type of care that best suits their needs.

That’s one major step towards a truly integrated system, said Lynn Kachuik, an Ottawa Hospital nurse who is an expert in palliative care and sits on the regional program’s council.

“By going to the (centralized) system we are able to simplify the access … So they’ve got the data they need to make a decision based on what the needs of the patient are,” she said.

“We’ve been much more efficient in using the beds effectively.”

METROLAND EAST SPECIAL REPORT

T

here’s an elephant in the room and it’s crowding Ottawa’s hospitals.

Too many people are dying in hospital because they haven’t had honest discussions about death, according to palliative care doctor José Pereira.

These conversations – a patient’s preferred place to die, the level of treatment and their concept of comfort – must start long before a person is weeks away from death, he said.

“If we only think about palliative care from the last days or weeks of life, many people are going to suffer unnecessarily for the time they have left,” he said.

For one Ottawa woman, who Pereira didn’t name for privacy reasons, this lack of planning led to confusion for both her and her family.

Just a few months before she died her doctors at Bruyère Continuing Care still didn’t consider the woman a palliative patient. As her health failed, she was receiving treatments she likely didn’t need any more.

“This was a lady who had been struggling with end-stage heart disease, very, very advanced heart disease for many years. And suddenly in the last few months (she was) admitted to a hospital, and put on all sorts of treatments,” Pereira said.

She started a regime of antibiotics, and was put on dialysis for kidney failure. She began to question the benefit of being hooked up to machines this late in her illness, Pereira said. “She was saying, ‘I know I’m dying ... my goal is to be as comfortable as possible.’”

A quick look at her chart was telling: scrawled in a colleague’s note, the words “the patient is not yet palliative.”

COHESIVE CARE

Pereira’s colleague wasn’t being oblivious; there are hundreds of health-care professionals across the city and province who share the same view that palliative care is only relevant in the last few weeks of life.

“Health professionals in general haven’t received much education in this area,” said Pereira, a doctor at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Ottawa Hospital.

“We get trained in our different specialties but we haven’t in the past done a good job of training new doc16

A new Ottawa program aims to change that.

Célestin Abedi heads the new Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, the first of its kind in Ontario that wants to get all health professionals on the same page when it comes to end of life care.

It’s an initiative that aspires to change the way palliative care is delivered – and how it’s funded.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, October 3, 2013

“The issue is not only beds,” Abedi said. “It’s how we can create a more seamless transition for clients from one service provider to another,” Ottawa has a “strategic advantage” in the palliative care field, Abedi said.

Some of the national leaders in the field call Ottawa home and the city also benefits from having the Bruyère community, the largest palliative care provider and research body in Canada.

Despite a wealth of expertise and resources, access to palliative and

hospice care delivery in Ottawa has been disjointed.

“There were a lot of initiatives that different local communities were working on but there wasn’t any kind of connection with what they were doing and what the hospital is doing,” Abedi said.

Part of the regional network’s goal is to help patients and caregivers create a palliative care plan that starts long before the patient is in the final days of their life. “(This) is a paradigm shift. The current system – it was somewhat very fragmented and key players were left out,” Abedi said. “What we’ve done (is) to bring everybody together to have a common vision of what should be the right palliative care for the population.

“And from there, we’ve made tremendous progress.”

It sounds simple, but identifying common, validated tools and training

MAKING THE BEDS

Centralizing the hospice and palliative care system on a larger scale is another goal for regional network.

By October, Ottawa will have 19 residential hospice beds run by one umbrella group called Hospice Care Ottawa.

The organization is a merger of the Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court, which were operating separately until a year ago. The two groups amalgamated to integrate funding and services for the city.

Merging Maycourt and the Friends of Hospice was not a painless process, Abedi said, but now the city has one entity that can look at the needs of the entire city.

“We cannot allow ourselves to have so many players who are not connected whatsoever,” Abedi said.

“We cannot sustain that.”

Aligning service providers means existing funding can be used better, said Pereira.

Continued from page 16

“Sometimes it’s not just about more funding, sometimes it’s about allocating the money we have more appropriately,” Pereira said. “I really think what this project (the hospice merger) shows is that when you bring all the stakeholders together you can reallocate the existing funding in a much better way.”

Pereira has witnessed the positive effects of this approach through his work at a residential hospice in Edmonton in 1995.

“The research shows that if we do it properly, people have less depression, less anxiety and may in fact even live longer,” he said.

Ottawa’s hospice still has a long way to go, said Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa.

“In terms of the size of Ottawa, we know it could benefit with a lot more beds,” Sullivan said.

A study from Bruyère Continuing Care in Ottawa suggested the city needs somewhere between 70 to 80 beds for a population of one million, but the regional program has set a goal of 40 beds.

We cannot allow ourselves to have so many players who are not connected whatsoever ...

We cannot sustain that.

CÉLESTIN ABEDI CHAMPLAIN HOSPICE PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM

Currently, the city has nine hospice beds available at May Court and eight beds at the Embassy West Senior Living on Carling Avenue. Two more beds will be added by October.

By 2016, the organization plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Kanata, followed by 10 beds in the east end and then 10 more beds in the south end, Sullivan said.

But the focus on beds isn’t necessarily the most pressing issue, Sullivan said. There is an overwhelming need to boost bereavement and

FUNDING FLIP

In Ottawa, the biggest player in residential hospice care needs $1.6 million a year just to keep the lights on.

“We need to raise $1.6 million just to operate. No extra bells and whistles,” said Sullivan. “That is our biggest need.”

Under the current provincial formula, most residential hospices receive around $246 per bed per day though the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. That covers roughly 40 per cent of their operating budgets.

“That money comes with a lot of strings,” Abedi said. It can be used only to cover for nursing staff and personal support workers.

Rick Firth, executive director of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, would like to see that number grow to 80 per cent, but recognizes that funding residential hospice beds is a relatively new practice in Ontario.

“It’s easy to say they’re not funding 100 per cent, but you look at 2002 with zero dollars to hospice and then in 2006 there was about $24 million allocated,” Firth said. “And it continues to grow.”

Recognizing that a hospice bed costs $439 a day compared to $850 a day for an acute care bed in a hospital, many palliative care experts

argue the province’s money would be more effectively spent on hospice beds to free up hospital beds.

In Ottawa, Abedi’s ultimate goal is to convince the LHIN to reverse the funding balance and pay for 60 to 80 per cent of the cost of hospice care.

“We are working to collect enough data to advise the LHIN to change that funding formula,” Abedi said.

If the province’s goal is to have hospice to play a bigger role within the health care system, Abedi said “it is not correct” to ask hospices to fundraise for 60 per cent of their budgets.

On the advice of the hospice palliative regional program in Ottawa, the LHIN is now funding around 65 per cent of nursing costs for the amalgamated local hospice group.

Navigating that uncharted territory of making incremental decisions that will build towards a new funding model will fall to Ottawa because it is a leader in the palliative-care field.

“When you look at palliative care, we’ve got a lot that other areas don’t have,” said Kachuik, the Ottawa Hospital palliative-care nurse specialist.

“I think we’ve taken great strides in developing what I would call an integrated system.”

While Ottawa still has work to do, it is a leader compared to other parts of the province, particularly rural areas. The Thunder Bay region has no hospice beds at all, and the South East LHIN, stretching from Belleville to Smiths Falls and north to part of Lanark County, only opened its first three beds this summer.

Other regions of Ontario plan to follow Ottawa’s lead by starting their own regional programs for palliative and hospice care. But in the meantime, experts in Ottawa will set the example for a shift in how end-of-life care is delivered.

Part three offers a prescription to give Canada’s palliative care system a sustainable future.

Rural hospice: ‘there’s a need for sustainable funding’

S

taff at Hospice Renfrew know all too well the limitations of a rural location.

The hospice’s six beds run in the small town of Renfrew are the only ones in the county, and they’re almost always filled with patients living out their final days.

A registered nurse and a personal support worker are there 24 hours a day, and the hospice also maintains a small administration. About 50 volunteers cover the reception desk, run support programs, plan events, tend the garden and bake homemade snacks for residents.

But it’s not enough.

Six beds can’t meet demand for an entire county, and there’s a constant list of patients waiting to get a bed, said hospice director Diane Caughey.

Some of them die before the beds become available.

But adding more beds isn’t exactly feasible, either.

The Ontario government funds less than half of the hospice’s $1 million operating costs, and all of that money goes to nursing care, Caughey said.

“There’s a need for sustainable funding that will cover operations,” she said. “There are fundraising challenges in a small rural community.”

Fewer people means fewer dollars, and there’s always competition from other fundraising health care facilities in the region.

“The challenge is ... how does a community of 5,000 people raise the $1 million a year to support it?” asked Hospice Palliative Care Ontar-

io’s executive director Rick Firth.

Renfrew is not alone in this.

Rural hospice beds are few and far between. According to Firth, the vast majority of the province’s 231 beds are located in urban areas.

Until July, the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) covering Belleville, Kingston, Smiths Falls and parts of Lanark County had no hospice beds at all, and the North-West LHIN in the Thunder Bay region still lacks any residential facilities.

Part of the problem is that provincial funding for hospices is designated solely for nursing staff – $90,000 per bed - and that base cost is the same no matter how many beds a hospice has.

“In the smaller facilities it’s more

of a challenge because the nursing model requires a registered nurse present 24/7,” Firth said. “So in a situation like Renfrew where there’s six beds (instead of the standard 10), you still have the need for an RN 24/7. You can’t split a nurse in two. So proportionately they get less funding per bed.”

A six-bed hospice like Renfrew should get $116,000 instead of $90,000, he said.

The other problem is geography.

To cut costs, several villages or townships will collaborate to cover a region. A day hospice program could be located in one town, Firth said, but residential hospice beds might be in another.

This creates an access problem for patients and family members who

must travel long distances to get to the facility they need.

The new hospice program inside the South East LHIN hopes to address some of those issues.

Instead of building the standard 10-bed model in a centralized, urban location, the beds will be spread around.

In July, Hospice Prince Edward opened three beds in Picton and the South East LHIN plans to monitor how they are used before opening the remaining seven beds in several other small groups across the region.

Firth said rural access is one of his organization’s biggest priorities moving forward, and it will participate in a ministry-led committee this fall to facilitate rural-focused solutions.

PREPARATION

Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. In a shallow dish, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, wasabi and ginger. Add the fish, turning to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to two hours.

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water and rice. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Gently stir in the seasoned vinegar with fork.

Then divide the rice into four portions and cover with damp

cloths.

Spray a grill pan or a grill with cooking spray. Remove the trout from the marinade and place skin-side down on the grill over medium-high heat. Cover with the lid closed for one to two minutes. Turn the fish with a spatula, then cover and cook for two more minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Remove the skin and sprinkle both sides with the toasted sesame seeds.

Place the sheets of nori on clean dishcloths or a bamboo sushi mat lined with plastic wrap.

Dampen your fingers with water and lightly press one portion of the rice into thin layer to cover one sheet of nori, leaving a 2.5

centimetre (one-inch) section at the top edge without rice.

Make shallow groove along centre of the rice and place a few slivers of yellow pepper and carrot inside groove. Top with one-quarter of the trout, broken into narrow pieces with your fingers, and a few sprigs watercress. Curl edge of the cloth/mat to help form the toasted nori into cylinder, pressing firmly to enclose filling, then seal the edge with water. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make four rolls. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories knew when we wanted to talk to someone miles away or they wanted to talk to us.

That someone was right in-

trapped in a desk-like affair in front of her. Usually, a light would come on, but sometimes a little bell would ring and she would know exactly what to do with those cords and the holes in the board with the red lights flashing.

Sometimes, Mr. Briscoe manned what was called the switchboard himself, but I have little memory of his voice coming into our oak phone on the kitchen wall. It was someone we simply called “Central.”

The very first day we got the phone, will stay in my mind forever. Mother cried.

Not from sadness, but from the sheer wonder of finally being able to talk to someone at will beyond the four walls of our old log house.

That first night, we sat around the kitchen waiting for the phone to ring. There was no looking through the Eaton’s catalogue that night, or whittling or playing cards at the pine table. Even Mother’s diaries never left the back-to-the-wall cupboard.

We sat in a circle as if we were in a theatre. Finally, it came around to bedtime and it looked very much like the phone was not going to ring.

It was Mother who decided, if no one was going to call in, she would call out.

She went to the beautiful new phone, which I thought was every bit as nice as the new oak ice box grandfather bought for us, and took the receiver off the hook and pressed a little black button on the side of the box.

“Could I please talk to Bertha Thom,” she said into the black mouthpiece. And there it was -- there was Mother talking to Aunt Bertha, just as if she was in another room and not across the TwentyAcre Field on the next farm.

When the phone was put in that day, we were told our ring was “two longs and a short.” It didn’t take us long to know the rings of everyone else in Northcote. But it really didn’t matter if we knew the right rings or not, because “Central” was well acquainted with the rings of everyone for kilometres around.

Having a phone was not without its problems. When it rang, it could be for any number of homes in Northcote. As many as four or even five other families shared the line. We soon found out you had to be extremely

careful what you said on the phone because if they chose to listen in, everyone who took off their receiver were privileged to your conversation. It wasn’t unusual to have your complete conversation repeated the next day at the General Store!

It also wasn’t unusual to pick up the receiver and ask Central if she knew where Mrs. Hines was -- her advice was needed. Central always knew where everyone was.

Sometimes when Mother rang a neighbour, Central would come on and say, “Oh, she’s gone into Renfrew to Walkers. She needed some lace trim for a blouse she’s making. She should be back in a couple hours. Do you want me to ring you when she gets home?”

Central was the lifeblood of the entire neighbourhood.

If there was a fire, or any other emergency, somehow Central was able to ring all the farms at the same time, at least that seemed to be the case, because everyone responded in time to give a helping hand where needed.

Mother always felt safer once we had the phone put in on the farm.

BioPed Ottawa - Advertorial

Not your grandmother’s compression stockings Do you no ce swelling of the ankles, spider veins in the lower legs. Pooling in the lower legs is caused by valves that do not close properly in the veins and that sets of a cascade of problems when you sit or stand for too long a period of me.

Many of us may experience heaviness in our legs, swelling and/or poor circula on in our life me and using gradient compression hose can help to move the blood more efficiently back to your heart.

Just because our health needs require products to assist us doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice our fashion or lifestyle for it. BioPed Footcare Centre www.bioped.com in O awa, Ontario offers a complete range of compression stockings, ideal for relieving pain resul ng from general aches and pains, diseases and disorders, while also having an appearance that doesn’t get in the way of our lifestyles and fashion choices.

These aren’t your grandmother’s compression stockings www.bioped.com/products compression_stockings.asp.

Compression stockings have a somewhat falsified reputa on that they are ugly brown stockings (o en mes worn only by seniors) without a hint of a stylish note. This impression may have been accurate years ago, but it is not so today. BioPed offers a stylish variety of compression stockings, appealing

for both genders and all personal styles. Our compression stockings are available in an array of colours, pa erns, styles, and levels of sheerness.

When you wear these compression stockings, no one will know the difference from regular socks or stockings; you can look great and feel great, too!

Compression stockings are useful to relieve and treat a wide range of condi ons. You do not have to be a senior to feel the benefits of compression stockings. Many pregnant women who experience swelling of the feet and legs find relief wearing them, just as someone would if they have a vein condi on or diabetes. BioPed understands that pain can occur for both men and women, people of all ages, and as a result of a wide range of condi ons. That’s why we offer a great selec on of compression stockings that are effec ve, comfortable, discreet and stylish.

For added comfort and relief, the team at BioPed can measure you for compression stockings so that they fit you properly and provide the right amount of support you require. A discussion with your family physician is also recommended to ensure the right prescrip on is wri en for you.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Adrienne Lewis shows off a megaloptra, an invertibrate that signifies good water quality.

Volunteers test water quality of Jock River jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - Volunteers braved rainy weather and waded out into the mouth of the Jock River at the Rideau River, collecting samples of insects to test the quality of the water.

Chelsey Ellis, a former Barrhaven resident currently living in New Edinburgh, said the event is held once a year, giving people a chance to get hands-on with nature.

Streams, lakes and creeks are tested twice a year; once in the spring and once in the fall to get an idea of the health of the water, said Ellis, City Stream Watch co-ordinator.

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, City Stream Watch, and the Ottawa Flyfishers Society hosted the sixth-annual aquatic insect and fly fishing workshop at Jock River Landing on Saturday, Sept. 21. Participants spent the morning collecting invertebrates living in the water before learning how to properly cast a line.

Adrienne Lewis, who grew up in Kanata and currently resides in Arnprior, demonstrated the “water dance” to the group, showing them how to stir up the silt to find the water-dwelling bugs.

To perform the H2O twostep, participants twisted their feet into the bottom of the lake and used a long pole with a net on the end to scoop up anything that came loose.

Dressed in rubber waders and carrying long-poled nets, volunteers took to the water to perform the water dance.

After each turn, the nets were

emptied into white containers filled with water then sorted through to see what types of invertebrates are living in the river.

Found among the silt were water boatman, crawfish, water scorpions and megaloptera, the latter being “an indicator of really good water quality,” said Lewis, an aquatic resource technician with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and City Stream Watch.

The Rideau Valley

Conservation Authority partnered with seven other Ottawa agencies – City of Ottawa, Heron Park Community Association, Ottawa Flyfishers Society, Rideau Roundtable, National Defense Headquarters - Fish and Game Club, Ottawa Stewardship Council and the National Capital Commission – to create the City Stream Watch.

The purpose of the program is to gather, record and manage information on the health of waterways in the city.

Pet Adoptions

CINCINNATI ID# A157880

Meet Cincinnati (A157880), a twoyear-old charcoal rabbit who loves to run and explore. He’s been at the Ottawa Humane Society since July 2 and is ready to find a forever home.

Cincinnati is a curious boy who wants space to play and do rabbit things. He has an independent spirit and would love to find a home where his family respects his desire for freedom.

He’d make a wonderful companion for just about anyone but would like some time to get to know his new family before really warming up and becoming his true rabbit self.

To meet Cincinnati and all the other animals available for adoption, visit the Ottawa Humane Society at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. or view the animals online at ottawahumane.ca.

Hobbes

This is our cockatiel, Hobbes. He is three years old. We adopted him when he was one.

He loves to travel around on our shoulder throughout the day and will climb over to our hand when we sit down and nudge it with his head. This is his way of telling us he wants us to pet him. He loves to have his head and neck rubbed. He often serenades us with is own unique songs but he knows the theme song from the movie “Bridge on the River Kwai”. He is a very affectionate bird and we love having him as a part of our family.

South Ottawa artist recognized Earn Extra Money! for community spirit, artwork Keep Your Weekends Free!

Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News – Artist Katerina Mertikas makes it her mission to give back to the community.

Little did she know one day the community would give back to her.

The south Ottawa resident was presented with a United Way Community Builder Award at the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre on Bank Street on Sept. 19.

That day, Mertikas unveiled three of her large canvas paintings created to hang in the health centre.

The three oil paintings highlight the diversity and cultural mosaic of Ottawa, with children as the main focus. Mertikas said her paintings welcome a sense of openness and community.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for an artist,” she said about having her work on display at the health centre.

“I am so very pleased to be able to share my happy, cheerful art in public spaces where many will get a chance to see the way I depict a busy, naive, expressionistic style of art.”

During the unveiling, Michael O’Byrne, co-chair of volunteer recognition on United Way Ottawa’s campaign cabinet, presented Mertikas with the award, which recognizes individuals who give back to their community through volunteering or by contributing in some way.

Mertikas said having the opportunity to share her art with others and give back simultaneously is a dream come true.

“I am an immigrant myself,” she said. “The many services that United Way provides to newcomers – the community centre helps in this way, also,” she said.

“I just pursued my dream to paint, to be a useful member of our society and community, and would gladly help out so many organizations over the years without ever thinking of this kind of recognition. I thought it enough that people enjoyed my art.”

“I felt super proud, not for me, but for my daughters and especially my grandkids who were there clapping for me – which is usually the other way around. I hope to instill in my family the drive to help in any small way we can in life.”

“I know that good comes from doing good somewhere down the road. An amazing recognition for me. I am honoured.”

card. Proceeds from the sale of the UNICEF cards go towards helping children around the world receive the basic necessities of life.

“It’s something I believe in seeing,” she said. “All of my art is full of children and joy and I would only like to see other children benefit from some relief as well.”

As an artist, Mertikas wishes to see many places benefit and share in her art through donations, fundraisers, card sales, and auctions.

“I thought was just a plus for me to show my work,” she
