Family struggles to rebuild after fire scorches home Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Eugenie Kalagirwa is no stranger to hardship, nor is she one to ask for help.

So others are asking on her behalf, and that of her husband and their seven children, who range in age from eight to 19,

as the family grapples with trying to rebuild their lives after a kitchen fire broke out in their rental home in the Confederation Court neighbourhood at Russell and Walkley roads on July 14, causing an estimated $60,000 in damages.

Already envision yourself catching the train for work and then walking or cycling from the lightrail station to your workplace?

Now’s your chance to help draft how the new transit stations within Stage 2 of Ottawa’s light-rail system east, west and south will link up with a greater network of pedestrian and cycling pathways and crosswalks.

The city is preparing to host a series of summer public consultation meetings as part of its Stage 2 Station Connectivity Study in an effort to get feedback on the 22 new LRT stations and how they fit into the bigger picture of getting from point A to point B in the city once LRT is up and running.

One of the upcoming meetings will focus on connections around the Walkley Station, as well as stations at Greenboro and South Keys along the extended southbound Trillium Line.

River Coun. Riley Brockington will join Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans for the Aug. 17 public meeting about stations that will be added at Walkley and South Keys. The current Greenboro station will also be factored into the discussion.

Brockington will be focusing on the Walkley stop.

“I like the connectivity at that station now, but this is underscoring the need to speak to people who will walk and bike — not just taking the bus to Walkley Station — to make sure their needs are addressed,” Brockington said.

Connectivity around that station will be important in order to allow people to easily get to and from the Sawmill Creek Pathway in the area, as well as the future multi-use pathway that will one day be built parallel to the nearby Airport Parkway on the west side, as part of the widening of that route.

The meetings will also be an ideal opportunity for residents to take a closer look at the plans for Stage 2,” Brockington said.

“So this is how it starts,” he said of the process.

Still, the River Ward councillor isn’t as enthusiastic about the scheduling of the public meetings.

“I was trying to push consultations into September because I’m not a big fan of (summer meetings), but their (the city’s) own timelines for the project basically require them to get this piece of the project done in August, which is unfortunate,” Brockington said.

Meetings in the fall offer more people the chance to attend or submit comments because many are often out of town during the vacation months, he noted.

However, a summer meeting roster was needed in order to meet tight deadlines and ensure next steps in Stage 2 can proceed on time, Brockington said.

The second phase will feature the addition of 36 kilometres of track along the Confederation Line east to Trim Road, west to Bayshore and southwest to Baseline.

The Trillium Line will be extended to South Keys and then on to Leitrim and end at Bowesville near Riverside South. A rail spur will veer from the main line to stops in the vicinity of the EY Centre and at the Ottawa International Airport.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2018 and wrap in 2023.

The upcoming public meetings will include a presentation, open house with display boards and discussion time.

Connectivity design and planning recommendations based on the city’s current plans will be discussed, and “moderated break-out sessions” will be held to get feedback from residents on these recommendations, according to the city’s website.

For information regarding the upcoming consultations, email stage2@ottawa.ca or contact Marc Magierowicz, a planner in the city’s LRT Stage 2 project office by emailing marc.magierowicz@ottawa.ca or calling 613-580-2424, ext. 27820.

Police urged to ‘tread lightly’ with community policing changes Police board will need to monitor future changes for impact to neighbourhoods Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Coun. Keith Egli is asking the police services board to tread lightly when it comes to upcoming community policing model changes.

Currently, each of the city’s 15 community police officer are assigned to an area, with the city divided into sub-sections such as Kanata, Barrhaven, Bayshore or Cyrville.

Under the new model, there will be 10 community police officers, who will work under the same structure as school resource officers: they’ll have a high priority, secondary and tertiary priority neighbourhoods.

“We are looking to match resources to community needs,” Deputy Chief Jill Skinner told the police board at a July 25 meeting at city hall.

There would also be a secondary officer assigned for

each of the communities.

Part of the reasoning for the model change is to focus more resources into areas where there are frequent complaints or serious problems.

But Egli, who represents the Knoxdale-Merivale ward, said his residents are concerned the changes will be a “serious misstep” and they’re happy with the current model.

Egli doesn’t sit on the police services board, and spoke as a public delegation. He said he has concerns the police are shifting from a proactive to a reactive approach, and thinks neighbourhoods will notice a negative impact.

He urged board members to ensure the process and its impact is robustly monitored, and that the proposed community advisory committee have urban, suburban and rural representation monitored by the board.

“If this plan is going ahead, and apparently it is, monitor-

ing is the next best step you can take,” Egli said.

Skinner said the model will be evaluated as it’s implemented, but she stands behind the new model that she said will be more effective, with a central centre taking information and measuring where the most policing is needed in the city.

“This doesn’t look like it’s going to deliver the type of trust relationship that works for us.”

Police board member Carl Nicholson.

“With any change, it’s important to understand that you need to measure if it’s efficient and effective and you have to be open to making changes if it’s not effective,” Skinner said. “We will continue to look at what this model

will mean for the community once we put the people into the community.”

Crime Prevention Vanier’s Lucie Marleau said she hopes that the small transfers of knowledge from the community members to the community police officer can still continue once the changes are made, such as reports of “sketchy” things happening in the neighbourhood.

Those small, day-to-day interactions build trust between the officer and neighbourhood residents, she said, though she supports the changes being made overall.

“This doesn’t look like it’s going to deliver the type of trust relationship that works for us,” said board member Carl Nicholson. “It’s been brought to my attention, quite forcefully by a large number of people, that we’re going in the wrong direction. So if we are, we need to have a tool that lets us know quickly.”

Eugenie Kalagirwa tends her garden at the Kilborn Community Allotment Gardens in Alta Vista, where she has found some solace after her family’s home at Confederation Court was devastated by fire on July 14. Confederation Court Community House has launched a fundraising campaign to help the family of nine, which includes seven children, rebuild their lives.

Parents teach children value of patience amid hardship Continued from page 1

“Things are very hard,�

Kalagirwa said of their lives now, which have been subjected to much upheaval.

The day of the fire, she was at home with three of

her teenage daughters when flames and smoke began filling their four-bedroom home.

Kalagirwa had just grabbed some important identification documents and school certificates and

they were just evacuating the premises when off-duty Ottawa firefighter Mike Kaine was passing by and followed the smoke to the row house unit.

‘At least we are alive’: Kalagirwa Continued from page 4

He came bursting in to make sure everyone had gotten out in time and stayed to lend a hand with responding fire crews.

Since then, the family has faced much upheaval.

“The day that it happened we were taken to a hotel at Broadway Travelodge on Innes Road by the Red Cross,” Kalagirwa said, adding the Red Cross paid for three nights’ stay.

The day they were to leave, they called a shelter for help and were directed to stay at a motel in Lowertown. The family is still there, crammed into two rooms.

Some of the children must sleep on the floor since there aren’t enough beds for everyone, but the biggest challenge has been living without a kitchen. There is no place for Kalagirwa to cook for her large family.

The Confederation Court Community House has been helping by supplying them with store gift cards so they can pick up food staples. Kalagirwa has also turned to the dollar store for food.

The House has launched an online fundraiser through gofundme.com/2f2zbdtg to help the family replace some of what they lost in the fire – they’ll need beds, other furniture, linens, clothing, kitchen utensils and many other essentials.

“But at least we are in a home,” Kalagirwa said. “It’s a part of life – life is not easy.”

Confederation Court has also been working with housing providers at Ottawa Community Housing to arrange for permanent housing. Kalagirwa recently learned there will likely be a rental unit available at an OCH property in the Heatherington community on Aug. 15.

That means there is still a long wait before they can settle into a new home with the few belongings they managed to salvage from their smokefilled home.

Waiting

“I found that two-and-ahalf weeks is like 10 years,” she said of the interminable wait during an interview with Metroland Media on July 28.

Despite the recent hardship, Kalagirwa is teaching her children to stay positive.

“I try to sit with the children every evening,” she said.

“I have to talk to them so they can calm down and they have to understand it’s life and in life anything can happen. “‘You have to be patient,’” she said she tells them. “’At least we are alive.’”

Her positive outlook comes from her experience fleeing with her two eldest children from their home in the wartorn Democratic Republic of the Congo to neighbouring Uganda. They had become

Riverview Park resident walks in soldier father’s footsteps Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Every year like clockwork, Helen McGurrin is drawn to the Netherlands where she walks in the footsteps of her father.

She doesn’t march alone along the route. She joins tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers from 58 countries to take part in the annual Four Days Marches Nijmegen, also known as the Walk of the

World.

Throughout the journey she holds her father’s memory close.

Knowing her father Francis Kelly once walked through the Dutch city as a soldier fighting on the frontlines of the Second World War — just as McGurrin does each year — means a great deal to her.

“When I’m walking through there, I’m thinking of him all the time,” she said recently after returning to her Riverview Park

“When I’m walking through there, I’m thinking of him all the time.”

Helen McGurrin, of her father Francis Kelly

home following the 100th anniversary of the walk, held July 19 to 22.

She was just five-and-a-halfmonths old when her father enlisted with the Montreal-based Black Watch infantry unit of the Royal Highland Regiment in 1940. He

was gone for five years.

In 1944, allied troops, including Kelly’s unit, advanced into Nijmegen where they engaged in hardfought battles in an effort to push their way into Germany.

“Of course, the Germans fought

like heck to keep them out of there,” said McGurrin. “That was one of the last big battles of the Second World War. “It was the last push by the allies. Hitler sent everything he could at them — tanks, bombing — you name it.”

Her father remained in Nijmegen with his military unit until March 1945 and was home by the end of April that year.

See MOVING, page 7

Moving remembrance service honours fallen Canadian troops Continued from page 6

Even as the war was drawing to a close, the number of casualties continued to climb.

More than 2,300 Canadians are buried in the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery there.

To pay tribute to their memory, Canadian soldiers taking part in the marches attend a noon-hour remembrance service at the cemetery on the third day of the four-day walk.

“I wouldn’t miss it. I go every year and I bawl,” McGurrin said, her voice becoming thick with emotion.

The walk itself is not for the faint of heart. Age dictates the distance partici-

pants travel.

At 76 years old, McGurrin travelled a total of 126.1 km this year, once again inspired to participate, in part, due to the close relationship that was forged between the Netherlands and Canada during the war years.

But there are other reasons she chooses to test herself kilometre after kilometre.

Theme

“The theme of it is a march for peace,” she said of the Walk of the World, which originated in 1909 with 10 civilians and 296 military personnel from the Netherlands (it was stopped

during the war). “It just seemed to me that, boy, we needed this more than ever.”

At this year’s marches, which are billed as the world’s largest multi-day walking event, more than 42,000 people navigated the route in scorching heat and pelting rain, which made crossing the finish line even more of a triumph.

More than 200 Canadian Armed Forces personnel took part, marching 40 kilometres a day and continuing what has become a Canadian tradition that began in 1952.

Each person to complete the journey earns a commemorative medal, which resembles those worn by

military members, and that civilians can wear during Remembrance Day ceremonies.

For McGurrin, the medal means a lot, but so do the memories.

Thinking of her father

Each time she passed over

one of Nijmegen’s bridges, her thoughts went to her father and the other soldiers who would have resolutely marched across that structure as they battled to liberate the Netherlands from Nazi occupation.

“I always think, ‘I’ve got it easy here,’” she said.

Opinion

Connected to your community

Investigation must be thorough

C

an we all agree on a couple of things?

Can we all agree that the Ottawa police officers now under investigation after a man died following an arrest July 24 did not wake up that morning and set out to hurt somebody?

Can we all agree that police should be held to extremely high standards when they use force? That any use of force against citizens must be absolutely necessary? And that, after a full investigation, police who use excessive force should have to face the consequences of their actions if they are deemed to have crossed the line, just as residents who don’t wear a badge must?

There are some people who think if police are involved in an incident that goes bad, particularly if it involves interactions with visible minorities, then the police must be guilty of something nefarious.

And there are others who, regardless of what a police officer does, will defend an officer’s actions no matter what. They will always give police the benefit of the doubt by constantly pointing out that the average citizen can’t ever know the pressures an officer faces in the line of duty and thus can never really judge an officer’s actions because they haven’t walked

in that officer’s shoes.

The people who hold such views, on both sides of that divide, will never see eye to eye when it comes to incidents such as the death of Abdirahman Abdi, 37.

The man died after police responded to a call about a disturbance at a coffee shop in which it is alleged the dead man was involved, according to police Chief Charles Bordeleau, in “assaultive” behaviour.

The provincial Special Investigations Unit – the civilian police watchdog – is currently investigating what happened after Ottawa police responded to the call on July 24.

As the reaction to the Const. James Forcillo’s sentencing for attempted murder in Toronto last week shows, the police-are-always-wrong and the policeare-always-right camps will continue to make their political arguments regardless of outcomes.

But for the majority of residents of this city, who fall into neither of those two camps, what is wanted is justice based on what a thorough and transparent investigation determines.

Justice should indeed be blind – regardless of whether a person under investigation wears a badge or not.

f you haven’t heard of Jason Tetro, the self-proclaimed “germ guy,” you may want to check him out.

The microbiologist and author published a second book earlier this year on a subject many of us don’t like to think about – the billions of germs that exist in our environment and evolve rapidly, using our bodies as incubators.

But here’s the thing: Tetro’s research shows that of germs that exist, there are about 12 damaging ones that most of us are exposed to regularly; there are some passive bystanders; and then there are tens of thousands of good germs, which we should be seeking out and embracing.

As we move into the post-antibiotic era, Tetro believes people need

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse to get away from a war-againstgerm mentality toward a more loving relationship.

We should be seeking out good germs to ward off the bad by touching dirt, wiping our hands under our armpits and eating fermented foods.

He warns against getting sucked into savvy marketing scams around probiotic-boosted foods like yogurt, however.

“I calculated at one time with one particular type of yogurt that

I needed to eat 1,000 little tubs” to get the probiotic benefits, Tetro told the CBC earlier this year, following the release of his second book, The Germ Files.

Similarly, he says, not all probiotic pills have been proven in clinical trials and may be completely ineffective.

“If all you’re doing is popping pills of bacteria, well, you might as well go eat some dirt,” said Tetro.

For those of us living in the urban environment – especially if we’re living in close quarters high density buildings like condominium towers or hospitals – we are more likely to be victims of bad germs.

Bad germs contribute to infections, poor mental health, allergies and asthma. Some studies have made the connection between bad

germ exposure and increased incidence of arthritis and even certain forms of cancer.

But Tetro has some solid tips on how to go out and love the good germs, which will fight the war against the pathogens for you.

“When you put good germs in there, they’re the cavalry,” Tetro told the CBC. “It will shove the bad bacteria out of the way because they love the intestinal lining more than the bad germs do.”

They say you are what you eat.

Rather than pill-popping, Tetro recommends eating two fermented foods each day. Some of his favourites are sauerkraut, pickles, kefir and kombucha, helping us to get the five billion units of good bacteria required daily to maintain good health.

Get outside – even better if you can escape the city altogether, says Tetro. Going to a farm or into a forest environment helps expose us to good germs and form a natural EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225

Even opening a window is better than existing in a sterile environment, where pathogens are most likely to evolve and multiply. Tetro says this is something we’ve known for more than 100 years.

“Florence Nightingale was able to stop hospital infections by opening windows,” Tetro said.

Following the service, family and friends participated in a private procession to the burial site.

Speaking to the media, Mayor Jim Watson said he’s confident in the investigative process underway.

“This is a time for grieving and not finger pointing.

What we have to do is allow the SIU to take the time necessary to do a full and thorough report,” Watson said.

“I have confidence in the system and I want to let them do their work. I think for politicians and others to second guess the investigation and the research would do an injustice to the process.”

Hundreds also gathered for a vigil on July 26 at Somerset Square Park and a Justice for Abdi march from Melissa Murray/Metroland Hintonburg to police headquarters was held July 30.

Just outside the mosque, speaking as a member of the community and a member of the Canadian Council for Muslim Women, Farhat Rehman said Abdirahman Abdi’s death has touched a nerve in the community.

“People feel compassion and feel they want to support the family – that something wrong has happened, that they want to reach out and let the family know that they are supporting them and are not alone.”

At the start of the service, there were statements from city councillors, the mayor and local MPPs, a spokesperson from the family and Somali community.

Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to have their say on the fate of safe injection sites.

The public survey on the city’s proposed enhancement to harm reduction services, namely safe injection sites for intravenous drug users, will close on Aug. 8.

The board of health voted in favour of the report entitled Enhancing Harm Reduction Services – Data, Guiding Principle and Next Steps on June 20.

The vote was 9 to 2 in favour of the report, which included the public consultation aspect regarding supervised injection site.

Board chair and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri was one of the holdouts on the strategy, saying he wanted to wait on the outcome of the public consultation before giving his

verdict on supervised injection sites.

He recalled a 2010 visit to Insite in Vancouver, which was the first ever, safe injection site in North America.

“When we called the cab, and the driver asked us, ‘are you sure you want to go there?’” he said, adding the driver would only bring them a block away.

That six-year old cab ride is what Qadri based his health board vote on when the issue was debated.

Toronto city council recently gave the green light to such sites in that city after its health board also approved the idea.

The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre is well into planning to add an injection site to its existing needle exchange and methadone clinic.

The clinic would be in the building at Rideau and Nelson streets.

10 Ottawa South News - Thursday, August 4, 2016

The approval of the health authority’s guidelines is just the first step. The federal government would have to approve each centre’s plan for a safe injection site and the city would have to approve each site individually once a plan is in place.

The survey proposes three models: • A fixed service that is integrated within existing health and harm reduction services — like the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre’s needle exchange program.

• A standalone service, not within existing health and harm reduction services.

• A mobile service that can move around the city and meet clients where they are.

The survey is open to anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Ottawa. It will close at midnight on Aug. 8.

The survey can be filled out online at HaveYourSayOttawa.ca.

Ottawa Humane Society loses policing powers, fights decision in court Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

The Ottawa Humane Society has lost its policing powers and affiliate status with the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and it’s taking the OSPCA to court to get them back.

With 34 animal abuse investigation cases open, 17 charges before the courts and two court-ordered inspections pending, OHS executive director Bruce Roney said the Nepean-based organization’s policing powers were suspended by the OSPCA on July 18.

As a result, its six officers are no longer able to investigate potential incidents of animal abuse and neglect or enforce animal welfare laws, Roney said.

“There’s now a void in animal protection in Ottawa,” Roney said in a press release. “And we’re scrambling to make sure that no animals fall through the cracks.”

According to a notice of motion filed by the OHS on July 26, the trouble began during the OSPCA’s

annual general meeting on June 15, 2015, when the OHS raised some concerns it has with the OSPCA’s governance.

Among them were concerns about non-secret ballots during votes among members and about a ban by the OSPCA on employees of the affiliated societies standing for election as directors of the OSPCA. In October 2015, Roney and former OHS chair Christian Tacit met with representatives of the OSPCA to discuss their concerns.

After the meeting, Roney said in a sworn affidavit, the OHS invited the OSPCA to continue discussions about those concerns, but that the conversation ended there.

The OHS alleges that on April 15, 2016, it and other affiliated societies under the OSCPA received a letter from the OSPCA explaining that on April 9 it had temporarily suspended all affiliates’ status, enacted a new bylaw without allowing affiliates to review it first, and then reinstated the affiliates’ status.

That new bylaw, Roney said,

changes the OSPCA’s board to a “governance-focused” one, taking voting rights from affiliates and placing them exclusively with its own directors.

“Losing voting rights harms the OHS’s ability to advocate at the provincial level for the animals and for our community,” Roney said in a press release.

“This is both an important responsibility as well as a legislatively-enshrined right.”

In the months following the news of the OSPCA’s bylaw change, the OHS alleges that it and other affiliates worked with legal counsel to reverse the bylaw change.

The notice of motion filed by the OHS described the OSPCA board’s April 9 suspension of affiliates’ status and bylaw change as unlawful, and having been “done in bad faith or for an improper purpose.”

On June 24, the OHS sent a letter to the OSPCA seeking a reversal and a response to its letter by July 13.

On July 18, the OHS received a letter from the OSPCA stating that

on July 28, but that proceeding has been adjourned to Aug. 8.

A statement made by Alison Cross, OSPCA’s marketing and communications director would not comment on the claims while “the matter is before the court on a very tight schedule and our formal response is being prepared.”

However, Cross said the OSPCA will continue to provide full service to the Ottawa area.

She urged anyone with concerns about the welfare of an animal to contact the OSPCA.

its affiliate status and policing powers were suspended.

“We’ve been the go-to animal rescue agency for 128 years,” Roney said in a press release. “The actions of the OSPCA take away our ability to save dogs from hot cars and leave our cases against animal abusers in limbo.”

Claims made by the OHS have not yet been proven in court as of publication. The OHS is seeking a temporary injunction against the OSPCA to restore its status and was scheduled to appear in court

around the corner!

The start of a new school year means many new volunteer opportunities with the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa.

Tutor & Mentor Program Provide personal and academic guidance and encouragement to a child or youth as they progress through the school year.

Tutors are needed in a variety of subjects, including Math, Sciences, English and French.

Drive Program

When children need to be removed from their family home temporarily, while their parents receive the services they need, their daily routines are often subject to many changes. We are lucky to have several volunteer drivers who help provide these children with a sense of stability by transporting them from their foster home to their original school, various appointments or regular visits with their family.

Much more than a taxi, volunteer drivers are a source of consistency in the children’s lives.

April Donovan first met Shannon Sargent on the streets.

Donovan said she was a 17-year-old addict and Sargent took her under her wing.

“She was always very nice to me and we became good friends,” Donovan wrote in an email.

A few days after her former friend was found dead in her cell at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre on Innes Road, Donovan said she wanted people to remember her friend as a tough girl with a heart of gold.

Ottawa police confirmed on July 20 they were investigating a death at the jail.

Sargent, 34, was found dead at 12:30 a.m.

“I hope people who will write about her, will not just not write that she had a drug problem, because there was more to her than that,” Donovan said, adding she remembers watching horror movies and eating junk food with her friend.

“She didn’t like to be alone,” Donovan said. “She loved company.”

The latest stint wasn’t the first time inside a jail cell for Sargent, who had been addicted to crack and opiates for at least 15 years, Donovan estimated.

The two women actually served time together in 2009.

It was Donovan’s first time in jail and Sargent took care of her.

“She protected me in jail and on the streets,” Donovan said.

Donovan said she and Sargent were both clients of the Shepherd’s of Good Hope.

When asked for a statement about Sargent, Don Ermen, communications manager for the shelter, said he couldn’t confirm she was a client for privacy reasons.

Struggled

While Donovan met her fiancée and got clean four years ago, her friend still struggled.

“I was in rehab in 2010 and she was too,” Donovan said. “We would write each other letters.”

The country’s prison population is filled inmates who have addictions issues like Sargent. A 2010 report to the House of Commons on the federal correctional system from the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security stated that 80 per cent of offenders serving two years or more have problems with drugs or alcohol.

Donovan, now 29, said she hadn’t talked to her friend in a few months.

“She was relapsing and I am clean and sober,” Donovan said. “I don’t think she wanted to talk to me so she wouldn’t influence me.”

But Sargent wanted to get clean for her kids, Donovan said. “She seemed almost happy in jail because you can’t get drugs,” Donovan said. “She was tired of the

street and missed her babies.”

Her daughter, Shauna Ava Sargent, 19, posted a message to her mom on Facebook July 21.

“One of the hardest things, regardless of how close you were or weren’t, is losing a parent,” the post reads. “I know we went through our (troubles) but I loved her more than she could have ever realized. All I ever wanted was for her to get better and be my mom but things don’t always work out. I love you mom, now and forever, to the moon and back a million times. But at least you’re at peace now.”

Sargent’s death is the third of an inmate at Innes Road facility in four months.

A provincial task force aimed at dealing with issues of overcrowding at the jail released 42 recommendations in June.

The task force found that inmates are being double and even triple bunked.

A coroner’s death investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of Sargent’s death. If the cause of death is determined to be anything other than natural causes, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services will proceed with their own inquiry.

Media reports have said that Sargent had underlying health conditions.

Donovan said she wants her friend to be remembered for being an amazing woman. “She was smart and kind hearted and she always helped people out,” Donovan said.

New company offers boat tours of Rideau River Kelly McCarthy

kmccarthy@metroland.com

There’s a new way to see the sights of Ottawa this summer: from the deck of the Brass Toucan, a one-of-a-kind boat captained by a woman and her dog.

Offering intimate boat tours of the Rideau River, the Brass Toucan offers locals, newcomers and tourists alike a chance to see the area from a new perspective.

“It reframes Ottawa for you when you start working with the waterways,” said Jenny Bruce, creator and captain of the Brass Toucan. “It’s absolutely gorgeous out here.”

Bruce and her first mate – a six-year-old Goldendoodle named Finn – can accommodate small groups of up to four people aboard the Brass Toucan, which was brought to life from the shell of an old sailboat. She offers a variety of tour options, from leisurely day excursions to longer, three- or four-day trips. Part of the draw of the Brass Toucan is the opportunity to navi-

Jenny Bruce is now offering river tours along the Rideau River aboard her 24-foot boat, the Brass Toucan. gate lock stations, Bruce said.

Depending on the tour’s destination, groups could experience up to four lock systems – lending a helping hand and learning the ropes as they go.

“It’s a great experience,” said Bruce of navigating the locks. “It’s not something that everyone has a chance to do.”

Bruce has always been drawn to water. However, as a registered massage therapist

currently living in Ottawa’s Centretown, Bruce had put her dreams of spending her days navigating the river system on hold.

Things changed when Bruce spotted an old, weather-worn boat on Kijiji. She considered the purchase for months before finally making the decision to travel to Newboro, Ont. to check it out.

The 24-foot vessel immedi-

ately charmed Bruce and her friend Dez Fitzgerald, owner of Dez’s Paint Shop in Greely.

It was not river-worthy by any standard, but Bruce said she saw it as a blank slate.

The boat that would eventually become the Brass Toucan had been sitting outside, unsheltered, since 2008. Transforming it into a motorized, river-cruising tour boat was a long process that involved applying new fibreglass, sealing, painting, upholstery and a lot of trial and error.

Today, the Brass Toucan – named for a literal brass toucan that was Bruce’s first antique – is a colourful, cozy space complete with hand-upholstered benches and a wood grain finish courtesy of Dez’s Paint Shop. Bruce said her dream is to cater to the city’s explorers and sight seekers looking for something unique.

The Brass Toucan and Bruce herself are fully licensed to operate commercial tours, starting at the Rideau Canoe Club (804 Hog’s Back Rd.) near the Hog’s Back lock station.

Bruce is willing and able to offer a variety of tour options, depending on the aim of the booking group.

“Whatever you want, I’m sure I can make it happen,” Bruce said. “I’m here for hire – you ask, and I’ll try to deliver.”

Bruce’s dream, she said, is to cater to couples looking for a romantic

outing or new Canadians looking to learn more about the nation’s capital.

The Brass Toucan is open for business while the weather is agreeable, Bruce said, likely until September.

Ottawa well represented at Gaelic football world games Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa will be well represented when thunderous cheers erupt in one of the largest stadiums in Europe as teams take to the playing field for the Gaelic Athletic Association World Games in Ireland in a matter of days.

Of the 15 women playing for Team Canada’s eastern division, 13 are from Ottawa. On the men’s team, five of the 15 players are from Ottawa.

“I think we’ll hold our own,” said Cedardale resident Kerry Mortimer.

They’ll be playing Gaelic football against non-Ireland-born competitors from the U.S., Africa and Australia, among other nations, when the week-long Gaelic games festival – which will see 87 teams from 20 countries play Gaelic football, hurdling and the stickand-ball camogie sport – take place at Croke Park in Dublin Aug. 7 to 14. A western division team from Canada will be competing against Irish expats.

There will be a blend of nerves and excitement to play at such a high level and on such a prestigious field.

“There’s nothing like it,” said Mortimer, a member of the Ottawa Gaels Gaelic Football Club who has competed internationally.

“It’s one of the biggest stadiums in Europe and we get to march out onto the grounds, which people in Ireland don’t even get a chance to do,” she said. “It’s a goal for everybody. It’s a unique opportunity for us.”

Kerry Mortimer/Submitted

Riverside South resident Kerry Mortimer, left, Nepean resident Lisa Wright and Jon Lajeunesse, of Ottawa’s west end, will be joining several Ottawa athletes to represent Canada and compete in the World Gaelic Athletic Association Games in Ireland Aug. 7 to 14.

Though they’ll be facing some stiff competition, Mortimer is confident Ottawa will have a strong showing. That so many Ottawa women made it to Team Canada speaks to the calibre of talent in the nation’s capital and at the Gaels club.

“It’s really a testament to our program over the years,” Mortimer said.

At 46, she is the oldest on Team Canada.

“On the ladies team we cover four decades in age,” she said.

The youngest (by a half hour) is Lisa Wright, of Nepean, who is 24.

Like Wright, a number of Team Canada’s Ottawa athletes started

with the Gaels youth program.

The hope is that playing on such a world stage will shine attention on the sport here at home, and attract more kids to the sport, enough to one day start a youth league.

For Wright, the sport has become a way of life since she first became hooked on it in middle school.

“It’s hard to even imagine life without Gaelic once you’re in,” she said, adding that not only is Gaelic football fun and addictive and offers a high level of physical fitness, it also comes with a strong sense of community in which life-long friendships are formed.

“It’s a place you want to be,” said Wright. “It’s really unlike a lot of

other sports.”

With her eye now on competing at Croke Park for the first time, Wright said it is a dream come true.

“The three things I’ve always wanted is to play at Croke Park, hold the Sam Maguire and to watch (County) Tyrone play at Croke Park.”

She held the Sam Maguire Cup, which is the Stanley Cup of Gaelic football, a few years ago.

“I never imagined in a million years I’d be playing at Croke Park, but it was always one of those things you dream about and hope that one day, maybe.”

Like Wright, Jon Lajeunesse fell in love with the sport when he first tried it at St. Paul High School about 11 years ago.

The Team Canada tryouts this spring demonstrated the growing interest in the sport.

“The development in Canada is actually picking up so it’s really interesting to see that many people wanting to participate,” said the west end resident, who will play in Dublin on Canada’s men’s team.

In addition to having high hopes for a youth league here one day, Lajeunesse, 25, also has his fingers crossed that one day Gaelic football will become an Olympic sport. It’s the only way to top the experience of playing in the upcoming international experience, he said.

“You have to hope that one day it will be in the Olympics and I could make it onto the Olympic team.”

Summer weekends were kept busy with visitors

O

n most hot summer weekends, we could expect any number of cousins, aunts and uncles to find their way out to the farm in Northcote. Mother said it was to escape the heat of the city. We never knew who was coming, but Mother was always prepared. Extra loaves of bread, sticky buns and pies filled the bake table and the narrow shelf underneath it. No one would go away hungry!

If they came on Saturday and stayed over until Sunday, that meant my three brothers would have to bed down in the tent in the yard, giving up the back bedroom upstairs. Of course, my cousin Richard, a couple years younger than I was, was thrilled to be able to sleep outside with the older boys in a tent. His mother, my aunt Lily, protective

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories of her only child, could be heard slipping out the kitchen door a couple times through the night to make sure nothing had happened to her son, which of course, would waken everyone up.

Especially Audrey and me who had been moved to the narrow creton couch in the kitchen.

Of course, as soon as the door was open, our old Collie dog Sport would start to bark, and the whole house would be wide awake.

But no one seemed to mind, because having a house full of company on

Canada Post disruptions may begin this week

Direct to Door Delivery

a weekend broke the monotony on the farm. The only problem was that Aunt Vanetta, a devout Catholic, insisted on being driven into Renfrew on Sunday morning for Mass, and I wasn’t sure what good it did, because Uncle Johnny, could be heard swearing a blue streak all the way out to his car, and it was a known fact he refused to darken the door of the church, but sat out Mass in his car, blowing blue smoke out the window from his ever-present cigar.

And the weekend was like one long party! There was

always lots of music and singing, and Uncle Johnny was always telling jokes that Mother laughed at but said weren’t fit for the ears of young children.

Aunt Vanetta was like a little bird, small and dainty, with a cloud of white hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen. Her daughter Aunt Lily was tall and stately, and even though she was coming out to a farm, she arrived wearing white gloves and a beautiful hat, and we never saw the same one twice. I used to dream that she was a relative to the Queen, because of the hats she wore. And I was sure she was pretty rich too... wasn’t she the telephone operator at the Chateau Laurier hotel?

My cousin Richard was game for anything. He loved playing in the hay mow, which just happened to be one of my favourite

places on the farm too. We would climb the little ladder in the end of the cow byre and run madly through the hay and then push a pile of it down through the opening in the floor, and jump down the hole, and then do the whole exercise over again.

We would be covered with bits and pieces of hay and chaff.

Mealtime was a challenge for Mother. Everyone couldn’t sit at the old pine table, so two planks were brought in and put on the backs of chairs, covered with a heavy quilt and then a couple flour bag sheets, and the overflow ate there.

By the time Mother had the meal ready, the kitchen would be like a blasting furnace, but Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lily said it was cooler than in Ottawa, and dug right in mashing potatoes, making gravy, or cutting pies.

By late Sunday, the company was ready to go home.

And I often wondered if they were as rich as I thought they were. Because before the car left the yard, boxes would be tied to the running board, and they would be filled with meat from the smoke house, a couple cleaned chickens, and bags of vegetables from the garden. Aunt Vanetta always fell into Mother’s arms before she climbed into the car, thanking her and saying something.

She’d say “Thank you Mabel ... you’ve saved our lives.

We’ll sure eat well for a long time to come.”

New twist on summer dessert An Ontario spin on a traditional tiramisu, ripe Ontario peaches bring a taste of summer to every bite. Great as a crowd pleaser for a special occasion.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes Chilling Time: 4 to 6 hours or overnight Serves 12 Ingredients

• 1 container (275 g) mascarpone cheese • 6 large peaches • 1/4 cup (50 mL) orange liqueur • 2 cups (500 mL) 35% whipping cream • 2 tbsp (25 mL) icing sugar • 24 large Italian-style ladyfingers Garnish: 1 large peach Preparation instructions

Remove mascarpone from refrigerator to soften, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and pit peaches; set aside three. Coarsely chop remaining peaches and purée in food processor or blender until smooth.

Add orange liqueur and pulse until combined. Pour into shallow bowl; set aside.

Gently, pulse remaining peaches in food processor or blender until slightly chunky.

In large chilled bowl, using electric mixer, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Using the

same beaters and in separate bowl, beat mascarpone and icing sugar together until soft.

Add mascarpone to whipped cream and gently beat until well combined. Fold in slightly chunky peaches.

Break ladyfingers in half and dip one at a time into the peach liqueur mixture to absorb liquid. Place both halves into the bottom of each one cup (250 mL) stemmed glass or dessert dish. Spoon about two tbsp (25 mL) of whipped cream mixture into each glass.

Repeat with second layer of ladyfingers, making sure they are well dipped in the peach liqueur mixture. Top each glass equally with the remaining whipped cream mixture.

Cover and refrigerate four to six hours or overnight.

Garnish: Just before serving, dice remaining peach and spoon on top.

Police want speed board data Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa police are developing a process to get their hands on the data that city councillors can currently access from the speed boards that they put up within their wards.

Coun. Tim Tierney asked at the July 25 Police Services Board meeting at city hall if the data collected by the speed boards could be used to assign traffic officers.

Councillor/Conseillère Quartier Gloucester-Southgate Ward

There will be entertainment, music, games, and a family-friendly movie for residents of all ages. The movie will begin at dusk, which will be approximately at 8:00 p.m. Be sure to remember to bring along a blanket or lawn chairs!

“We have 23 councillors running around putting up speed boards. I want to be able to feed that information into the system.”

Please stay tuned to dianedeans.ca and my weekly column for more information. As well, if you would like to volunteer at our event serving refreshments or assisting with activities, please contact my office at diane.deans@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2480. See you then!

Coun. Tim Tierney

“We have 23 councillors running around putting up speed boards,” Tierney said. “I want to be able to feed that information into the sys- File tem.”

Speed boards flash a driver’s speed as they pass. Many councillors have had speed boards Deputy police chief Jill Skinner installed in problem areas or streets in their wards to help calm traffic. said she previously wasn’t aware of how much data the city councillors have available to them as a result of the speed boards in their wards.

“We are developing a process for all that data to filter in,” she said.

The data can help determine where traffic officers are most needed.

One of main complaints councillors get is due to traffic and speeding within their wards, Tierney said.

Ottawa will play host to Grey Cup in 2017 brier.dodge@metroland.com

2017 is shaping up to be quite the year in Ottawa.

The Grey Cup, the CFL championship game, has officially been added to the long list of special events coming to the nation’s capital next year.

The RedBlacks owners and management announced they had been awarded the 105th Grey Cup at the start of the team’s July 31 home game against the Toronto Argonauts.

“I’m proud of the hard work and commitment to customer service exhibited by our staff at TD Place and the performance of the RedBlacks players and coaches,” said Roger

We’re ready for the challenge and excited by the opportunity to host Canada’s celebration.”

Ticket pricing for the 2017 Grey Cup will be released in the fall. Jeff Hunt, OSEG president, has said they are looking to add about 10,000 temporary seats at TD Place for the game to increase capacity.

The event will also feature a five-day Grey Cup Festival at Lansdowne Park.

The 2016 Grey Cup will be held on Nov. 27 at BMO Field in Toronto. Tickets for the 2016 Grey Cup in Toronto range from $169 to $899 for a field-side seat.

SUMMER SAFETY FOR PETS Every year during the summer months, the OHS gets hundreds of complaints relating to animals and hot weather. Dogs left unattended in parked cars top the list, followed closely by dogs left outside in the sun without water and/or shade.

Here are a few tips to keep your companion animals safe this summer.

• If your pet spends lots of time outdoors, make sure there is adequate shelter for protection from the sun/heat. Outside kennels need to be well ventilated and situated in shaded areas. Clean, fresh water must be accessible at all times.

• On hotter days, monitor your pets activity and be careful to not over exert them. Watch for signs of heat stress,

excessive panting, disorientation, staring or anxious expression and weakness. Bring your pet to a cool area, gradually lower your pets temperature by immersing his/her paws in cold water or hosing him/her down and call your veterinarian immediately.

• When the heat and humidity rise, be especially careful with short-nosed dogs (pugs, bull-dogs, etc.) and older animals.

Exercise your pets in the early morning and/or late evening to avoid the midday heat.

• In summer, asphalt can burn your pet’s paws – keep to the sidewalk or grass.

• Shaving a hairy pet for the summer may seem like a good idea, but they can actually get a sunburn. Shave your pet at the beginning of the summer before it gets too hot.

• In summer, mosquitoes are out in full force. Heartworm prevention medication is recommended and available. See your veterinarian for details.

• Flea and tick prevention is important. See your veterinarian for more information.

• When you take your dog out for exercise, bring a portable water container for the both of you.

• Water should be refreshed/changed often, and the bowl should be kept in a cool shaded area.

Learn more great pet tips at www.ottawahumane.ca/your-pet.

Pet of the Week: Jubilee (ID# A189093) Meet Jubilee, a quiet, lovable cat looking for her purr-fect match.

Jubilee may seem a little shy at first, but once you take the time to get to know her, you’ll see what a sweet and trusting kitty she is.

She loves taking naps in sunbeams and sitting in your lap for pets and chin rubs. Are you the one Jubilee has been looking for?

For more information on Jubilee 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:

Rosie

Hello!

My name is Rosie and I am a Shih-Tzu mixed with a bit of Yorkshire Terrier. I am 3½ years old.

My favourite things to do are chewing on things I’m not supposed to be chewing on, and taking a nice nap in the warm sun. Want to be my BFF? Give me a nice long belly rub and we’ll be inseparable.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 It may take a little extra effort to solve a particularly puzzling problem this week, Aries. It’s not an insurmountable obstacle, just one that takes patience.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, all of your efforts thus far in relation to personal challenges have been well worth the sacrifices you have made. Keep doing what you are doing.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you cannot control the actions of others all of the time, but you can change the way you react to certain situations. Take time to develop a response.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you will have to adapt when your schedule gets turned upside down. Let others see how capable you are by modifying the situation as needed.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, an unconventional approach to a problem may see things fall into place. While others are following one path, you’ll be marching to the beat of a different drummer.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s time to get your head out of the clouds for a little bit. Focus on the priorities in your life, which may include family and work responsibilities.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Friends may prove a distraction this week, Libra. It will take a lot of energy to focus on what you need to accomplish rather than getting sucked into other plans.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, adjusting to a changing situation at work will require some patience and trial and error. Keep your head down because you will grow comfortable before you know it.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Drama seems to find you this week, Sagittarius. But you can handle whatever comes your way. Remove yourself from gossip and keep a low profile until things seem to dissipate.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, resist the temptation to dive in when you sense a potential conflict brewing. It may be difficult to stay out of the fray, but you will ultimately be glad you did.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you need to be more assertive at work, especially if you want to receive the acclaim you feel you deserve. Be confident in your abilities.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, it may take some time for things to develop, but plans will start to go your way. This could be a week of big change.
