Door still open for airport, Trim Road in Stage 2 LRT Erin McCracken and Brier Dodge erin.mccracken@metroland.com

While there is not enough money in the city’s $1-billion contribution to fund Stage 2 of the light-rail plan to complete a rail link to Trim Road and the Ottawa International Airport, there is still hope for these projects, said the city’s transit commission chair. But these can only become reality if the city can successfully entice the province and feds to cough up more than $1 billion each for the second stage of the project. See HOPE, page 2

Hope remains for LRT links to airport, Trim Rd. Continued from page 1

“We’d be happy to talk with either the airport or our upper-level government partners on how that (airport) extension, as well as the one to Trim Road, can be paid for, but at the moment the city’s affordability mechanisms don’t allow us to be able to afford that extension,” said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais. “What we’ve said all along is that the airport is not included in the $3billion budget, and the city is unable to chip in more than $1 billion for Stage 2 because that would translate into higher taxes and higher transit fares.” The $155-million Trim Road extension and the $160-million airport link will both undergo an environmental assessment. The federal government announced July 23 that it will be contributing $1 billion to help fund Stage 2 light rail. On the heels of that pledge, Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau sidestepped questions July 28 as to whether the federal government could come up with more than that. “We established in the last budget approved by Parliament a fiscal framework that allows for $1 billion. And we trust that the City of Ottawa does its planning very well,” Galipeau said. “Phase one, as a matter of fact, is on time and under budget. So with phase two being a $3-billion project, there could be room that they could do more.” When asked to elaborate, Galipeau said the city “might even save money in doing phase two.” “But we’ve agreed to $1 billion for phase two. We already agreed to $770 million for phase one.” The province hasn’t yet said how much it will chip in though Premier Kathleen Wynne made an election promise last year that her government would help fund the second stage of Ottawa’s LRT project, Blais said. “We’ve had announcements, but there’s no agreements in place and there’s lots of time for the mayor and city manager to discuss with representatives from both the provincial and federal governments to maximize those contributions,” he said. “It could still very well be done as part of Stage 2. We just have to … have a secure funding source for it.” There are another 12 to 18 months left to negotiate for more dollars. “There’s still quite a bit of engineering on Stage 2 before we go to procure it, and we need to decide on a procurement model,” Blais said. The president of the Ottawa Inter-

national Airport Authority remains optimistic that the airport link is still on the table. “I don’t see any disconnect right now. Funding is still available,” said Mark Laroche, adding that the cost of the link represents five per cent of the $3-billion project, which he said is “a very, very small gap.” “I don’t feel that we’re excluded at all. When you’re going to be going into detailed projects you’re going to have detailed estimates and you’re going to see that the airport link will be included. “We can’t afford to let it go by. We can’t miss that opportunity.” Laroche went to the city at the end of June offering to pay a portion of the cost to build an LRT station at the airport, which early estimates suggest would have a $35-million price tag. This would be included in the total cost of the $160-million airport link. Including the airport in Stage 2 of the construction project when the Trillium O-Train line is extended south to Riverside South will benefit the city as a whole, he said, adding that studies have shown that hotels in cities where airports are connected by rail to the downtown see an average of 11 per cent more revenue than those without that. “Clearly having the (downtown) connected by rail to the airport drives business,” he said. The city’s request for more money to pay for the two additional line extensions is a good deal considering the province agreed to pay for 100 per cent of the cost of transit projects in Mississauga and Brampton, said Blais. “We’re only asking for one-third of the cost,” he said. “There’s an opportunity there for the government to step up and show that Ottawa is just as important a part of the province as these other municipalities are.” Mayor Jim Watson wrote a letter on July 9 to Wynne and Prime Minister Stephen Harper expressing the city’s desire to work with them to secure an agreement for Stage 2 LRT funding, and made special mention of the Trim Road and airport links. “It is our hope that the Government of Canada will explore the possibility of contributing additional funds to help reach these important destinations,” he wrote to Harper. Construction of the light-rail expansion network west to Bayshore, southwest to Baseline, east to Place d’Orléans and south to Riverside South is expected to begin in late 2018 or early 2019, depending on how quickly tenders can be issued. -With files from Emma Jackson

Man shot near high school Police are continuing to investigate a shooting near Brookfield High School that left a man with life-threatening injuries on Aug. 2. Officers responded to a call Sunday evening shortly after 7:20 p.m. after a gunshot was fired near the school. The victim – a 27-year-old male – was treated for a gunshot wound and taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. “Certainly he was in critical condition when he arrived at the hospital,” said paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier. “He was treated by paramedics for life threatening injuries.” Paramedics and police would not disclose the victim’s current condition as of the Ottawa

Ghost stories, sparklers, games of tag, marshmallows and hot dogs – it’s that time of year again when Eastway Gardens residents gather for their annual campout under the stars. The event began as a one-night camping trip, with residents converging on Cecil Morrison Park where they pitched about 10 tents and held a sleep over. “We initially started it when a group of us had kids who were quite little and they wanted to experience sleeping in a tent,” recalled Kim Lamont, president of the Eastway Gardens Community Association.

“It’s fun. The little ones like it because they’re in the park after dark.” Kim Lamont, president of the Eastway Gardens Community Association.

Over the past 13 years, the event, which this year takes place on Friday, Aug. 14, has been scaled back in length but not in fun. And about a dozen of the approximately 50 residents who take part in the evening celebration still meet up the morning after at the White Horse Restaurant, which serves as their local hub. At one time the campers would head to the eatery from their tents still wearing their pyjamas. And though residents no longer sleepover in the park, they still enjoy many of the hallmarks of a true camping trip, especially traditional

camping food such as hot dogs and marshmallows. “Everybody brings something,” Lamont said of the potluck snacks that are shared. “You kind of pile it up and you dig in. The chips, marshmallows and cookies go around the circle. “You can never have too much,” she said with a laugh. “It’s a treat.” Neighbours usually arrive with lawn chairs, blankets and their potluck goodies and beverages around 6 p.m. and stay until about 11 p.m. “It’s fun. The little ones like it because they’re in the park after dark,” Lamont said. As darkness descends on the campers, ghost stories start to circulate, and people reminisce about days gone by. “Everybody’s talking and laughing and people just start telling stories (and say) … back in the day remember when we all did this, remember that time,” Lamont said. There’s a lot of laughter among the grownups as they sit and chat, while children race through the park playing their favourite game: Ghosts in the Graveyard, which blends tag and hide and seek and is made all the more fun when it’s played after dark. “There’s a lot of screaming and running,” Lamont said. The campout has become something that people look forward to and ask for each year. “It’s a riot …,” said Lamont. “There’s funny stories. There’s good memories. There’s good times. It’s all about having fun.” In case of rain on Aug. 14, the event will take place on Aug. 15.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane … no, it’s the high-wire Wallendas Shrine Circus returns to Ottawa with new acts to thrill fans under the Big Top Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A lot can happen in 10 minutes. When Rick Wallenda and his troupe take to the high wire to dazzle audiences with their 10-minute daredevil act, there is no room for fear when you are nine metres up in the air, with no safety net below. A strong work ethic, an intense practice schedule seven days a week and a healthy respect for working at great heights are key. “You have to have a certain amount of respect,” said Wallenda, a high-wire artist who has been performing publicly since the age of 13, following in the footsteps of several generations of Wallendas. “If

you’re afraid then you can’t be up there because something’s going to happen, something’s going to go wrong. “You have to have confidence in what you’re doing and you have to have respect that it can kill you,” said the native of Serasota, Florida, whose stunts have come with a price – he’s broken almost every bone in his body, including his back. “My grandfather taught us the best safety device is to practice.” When the Shrine Circus Spectac! Takes over the RA Centre Aug 7 to 9, Wallenda’s three-person troupe will perform headstands, pyramids, chair tricks and bicycle riding on the wire under the Big Top. Coming up with new acts is the easy part. All Wallenda has to do to find inspiration is look at old photographs of his grandparents, Karl and Helen Wallenda. “My grandfather and my grandmother were exceptional on the wire and they were exceedingly hungry,” Wallenda said.

Karl grew up in a German circus family, learning how to balance on his hands in order to help feed his family after the First World War, when times were tough and people were starving to death. His circus career blossomed after he replied to an ad in a circus trade magazine calling for hand balancers. The job required him to perform handstands on the high wire. Karl went on to push the envelope on the high wire by performing sky walks across great distances. But in 1978, the 73-year-old was killed while attempting to cross a wire between two 10storey buildings in Puerto Rico. Misconnected guy ropes were to blame, according to the Flying Wallendas’ website. Wallenda, who considers himself the Evel Knievel of the circus, decided to reclaim that high-wire feat for his family and successfully made the crossing for a TV show in 1980. “He taught us that we don’t want to leave things unfinished,” Wallenda said. “And in

the public mind, if we can face our fears then they can face theirs.” Wallenda has set his own Guinness World Record, taking part in the first and only 10-person pyramid up on the wire in 2001. He is hoping to set another one next summer when he crosses the largest canyon east of the Mississippi River in Georgia. Despite having performed in front of live audiences for decades, Wallenda said the experience never gets old. “I love it. I love the challenge of it. This is normal for us,” he said. “To have to go to a job eight hours a day five days a week and punch a clock, that would be exceedingly burdensome for any of us. “We’ll work 18 hours a day to keep from working eight hours a day in a job like that.” For Wallenda, his passion is fuelled by spectators as they crane their necks to watch the troupe defy gravity. “That’s the greatest reward that we get. Yes, we get paid, but the biggest reward is the au-

SUBMITTED

The World Famous Wallendas will perform on the high wire under the Big Top when the Shrine Circus comes to the RA Centre Aug. 7 to 9. dience appreciation, and their response feeds us,” he said. “We get energy off of that. It makes it better for us.” The Shrine Circus Spectac! will be staged in the RA Centre parking lot, located at 2451 Riverside Dr. Other acts will include the

Flying Cortes Family on the trapeze, the motorcycle Globe of Fire, the Tarzan Zerbini Liberty Horses and Elephants, as well as clowns, comedic acts and aerial artistry. Ticket prices, show dates and times are available at shrinecircus.com.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet

a good solution for most people. This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

Stretch the light rail plans

he province needs to step up and commit to funding Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future light-rail system the same way Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park is backing transit in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton. In the next two years, the City of Ottawa will tender for Phase 2 of rail. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the phase thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned to reach some of the suburbs: Bayshore, Place dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans, Baseline and Riverside South.Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news. But if construction stops at those points, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear when or if tracks will one day extend to the airport and the eastern edge of the city, at Trim Road. If Phase 2 includes rail from Bayshore to Trim and a link to the airport, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a system that serves the majority of potential riders. It will be possible for thousands of people to ditch their cars, and thousands more households will likely be able to live with just one car instead of two. There is still time to add Trim Road and the airport spur to the Phase 2 plans. It will obviously cost less if those sections of track are part of the Phase 2 tender, instead of a separate project priced out in future dollars.Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park should act. The province has committed to fund rail projects

in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton, even though those cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans are not as well formed as those here in Ottawa. Those provincial dollars are also earmarked without any matching federal or municipal commitments. If the Wynne government can afford that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeking ways to spend infrastructure money across Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa deserves a more complete light rail network. The benefits of investing in this cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light rail are clear. Giant infrastructure projects help the economy of the communities where they are based during construction, as well as afterwards, as people move more quickly to where they need to be. Every dollar spent on commuter rail will reduce the need for more and wider roads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of them provincially managed. Dollars spent on rail take drivers off existing roads, meaning thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a benefit even for those people who will never choose to use public transit. The province, the city and the federal government have each committed $1 billion to Phase 2 light rail. For the investment to really pay off, we need the province to stretch its dollars and stretch the rail system.

Paddling away anxiety

arly in July, Canadian veteran Trevor Petersen arrived in Ottawa to much fanfare after journeying for more than two weeks from Toronto to Ottawa on a stand-up paddleboard. Petersen, who returned to Canada seven years ago with posttraumatic stress disorder following his service in Afghanistan, learned to paddle as a form of therapy. The 43-year-old is now a certified paddleboard instructor and has spent the past few years paddling across various regions in Canada to raise awareness and money for PTSD and the Canadian Mental Health Association. Why paddling? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paddleboarding was a very influential part of my healing

fered from minor anxiety. The usual things such as deadlines, financial worries, health concerns and children would sometimes accumulate and put me in an anxious state. To me, it was circumstantial and normal. About 18 months after my third child was born, my anxiety started to become overwhelming. I walked around most days feeling like someone was choking me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wake in the night, fearing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d missed some detail, checking the fridge and Facebook for answers. I ignored all the warning signs and I continued to push through with my business, organizing the family, worrying about friends with cancer. And then I had a panic attack. Having never experienced one before, I presumed it was a stroke and asked a friend to call an ambulance. Although an isolated experience, it scared me enough that I was

determined to get my underlying anxiety in check. I started opening up to friends and family and quickly realized the majority of people I spoke to are on anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication. Medication, combined with therapy, can be a valid means of treatment. For personal reasons, I was determined to find an alternative to drugs. But â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Petersen suggested â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the biggest culprit is failing to live in the moment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that anxiety experts encourage people in the midst of a panic attack to focus on things they can touch, feel and see. Meditation is often recommended as therapy. I always joke that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meditate to relieve anxiety because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too anxious. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where paddling comes in. Long before I heard of Peterson, I bought myself a kayak. I find the combination of what the Japanese

call â&#x20AC;&#x153;forest bathing,â&#x20AC;? which is essentially connecting with nature, the rhythmic motion of the paddling and the sound of water puts me into a state of meditation that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forced.

Resource fair signals important step in Herongate community building Women sit on a raised curb, chatting after browsing information tables inside the Cedarwood Community Hub in the heart of Herongate. Nearby, Vaéerie Assoi, the neighbourhood’s new community developer, and several community leaders, welcome residents to the newly revamped space inside a Timbercreek Communities high-rise apartment building. Generations of people, from children to seniors, mill about, asking questions and taking away pamphlets and freebies provided by community-based agencies – police, school boards, health and youth organizations – during a Community Resource Fair, which coincided with the hub’s official launch on July 23. “Today is about making sure we look out for each other,” said Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, who took part in the launch with Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier. “We have a special responsibility right here in our community to come together,” McGuinty said. Those attending were encouraged to spread the word about the hub and the agencies that are now meeting as a new steering committee to help residents drive positive change in the neighbourhood. “I want you to tell your friends and your neighbours that we are here now, and I want you to tell your friends and neighbours to come and tell us what they need and help us get what you need for the community,” said Kelli Tonner, community services program director with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. The hub and the fair are among a series of new initiatives that emerged following a survey the health centre conducted last summer to identify agencies operating in Herongate and resources that are available, missing or duplicated. That led to the health centre hiring Assoi in February. “That’s where this is coming from. It’s from a group of service providers

to work better, to work differently and to work more seamlessly to support the community at large,” Tonner said. For instance, three agencies, including the health centre, realized they were each offering youth leadership programs in the area. But through the new collaboration, they are co-ordinating their efforts to further their reach among young people. “You leverage those resources to try and support each other,” she said. The initiative “is built around the idea of supporting people to try and change the ethos of how people feel about being here,” Tonner said. “We’re talking about community gardens. We’re talking about tenant associations. We’re talking about social groups for isolated people, seniors, maybe people from a particular ethnic group – all of that in an effort to try and engage a community. “It has been incredible what has happened in the last six months, since February,” said Tonner, who recently provided an update on the initiative to Crime Prevention Ottawa, which contributed $65,000 for one year to allow the health centre to hire Assoi. “We’ve just only scratched the surface of what we think we can do here,” she said. “So we’re going to ask for continued funding.” Community leaders, residents and resource providers are teeming with new ideas for sports leagues, safety initiatives and youth mentoring and leadership programs. Access to recreation and giving people a voice in upcoming elections have also been identified as priorities. Assoi organized a community clean-up in Sandalwood Park in May that was well-attended. “If this is happening it’s because of you guys,” Assoi told the crowd during the recent fair. “And I’m humbled by the work you’re doing in your community and I believe if someone opens doors to you, you will open other doors to other people so next time we will be 200 people in this room, in this resource space.”

Tonner said it is crucial to keep the momentum going to create lasting change. “This isn’t just about today,” she told residents. “This is our future. Working together, being part of a community together, doing things together, this is our future in this neighbourhood and the city as a whole.” ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible! Open-fit and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid--now with wireless technology--provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

The 2015 Toronto Parapan Am Games will begin Friday with a torch lighting ceremony using a flame lit on Parliament Hill on Aug. 3. After bringing the flame to life, the first torch relay runners then lapped the Hill, among them past para-sport medal-winners. At the same time, a second torch was lit in Niagara Falls, and the two flames will meet in Toronto on Aug. 7 for the opening of what will be the largest ever Parapan Am Games. The five-day torch relay will cover more than 700 kilometres and 250 people will carry one of the two flames. “Each of the 250 torchbearers will have a special story to tell,” said Americas Paralympic Committee president José Luis Campo, who hails from Argentina. Parapan Am Games organizers invited First Nations communities to the torch cer-

emony, and they took a central role. Cliff Maness, a councillor with the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation, carried the flame onto Parliament Hill in a small lantern. He said local elders added offerings before the flame was lit. “The spirits of our forefathers will go with the flame,” Maness said. The first torch bearer was Peter Schuler of the Six Nations Reserve, located near Toronto. OTTAWA RUNNERS

Among the first dozen runners on Parliament Hill were Ottawa athletes, including Karolina Wisniewska, a para-alpine medal-winner at multiple Paralympics, as well as athletes who will take part in the upcoming Parapan Am Games in Toronto. Paralympic medallist Chelsea Lariviere finished her leg of the relay on foot even though her athletic success has come while rowing or us-

ing a wheelchair to race. She was beaming as she reached the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill. “It’s a really special moment,” Lariviere said. “What (the flame) means is bringing people together despite their differences.” Ottawa judo athlete Priscilla Gagne – who has limited vision – took the arm of a pace runner during her leg of the relay. “I used to do wrestling, but wrestling isn’t in the Games,” Gagne said. “I tried goalball but that’s not combat. I missed fighting.” Gagne will take on American, Brazilian and Argentinian opponents on Aug. 12 at the Parapan Am Games site in Whitby, Ont. The Parapan Am Games begin in Toronto on Friday, Aug. 7, and run through Aug. 15. More than 1,600 para-athletes from 28 countries will compete in 15 sports, all of which will be Paralympic qualifiers for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

Lowertown group pushes for neighbourhood crime data Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

If you don’t know what’s wrong, you can’t ﬁx it. That’s the rationale behind a plea from the Lowertown Community Association for more detailed open crime data on the Ottawa police website. Right now, the city’s crime statistics are reported once a year and broken down by municipal ward. There’s also an online crime mapping tool, which lets residents see calls for service in their neighbourhoods going back six months. But that’s not enough, ar-

gued Jan Grabowiecki, who made a presentation at the Ottawa Police Services board meeting on July 27. Crime in the Rideau-Vanier ward rose slightly in 2014 compared to the rest of Ottawa, which saw an overall decline of about three per cent, Grabowiecki said. But without neighbourhood-level statistics, it’s hard to tell where in the ward that spike in crime is happening. “What is the actual crime rate in Lowertown? Is it rising, is it declining?” he asked the board. “We don’t know, because these crime statistics are not made publicly avail-

able.” There are also conﬂicting reports about what’s happening in the area. While crime stories about the Byward Market have been on the rise in the media, Lowertown residents reported in a recent survey that they generally feel their neighbourhood is safer this year compared to last. Norman Moyer, who joined Grabowiecki at the meeting, said an open crime data program – where residents could download information on all crimes committed in the city, including information about where and when they took place – would clarify what’s

truly going on. “We spend a lot of time running after false stories,” Moyer said. “We would be much more effective if we had good data available as they do in Vancouver.” Vancouver’s police department publishes crime statistics for 24 neighbourhoods every month. They don’t go into the date, time and exact location the way some U.S. cities do, but they give residents a chance to see what issues are affecting one community compared to another. If Lowertown and other neighbourhoods were able to access this kind of informa-

tion as well, Moyer said residents and city planners would be better equipped to push for proper, focused policies to solve the problems. But it’s not as easy as simply uploading a spreadsheet to the website, police Chief Charles Bordeleau said. While the service wants to continue “moving incrementally” toward better and more detailed open crime data, it’s an expensive, time consuming process, Bordeleau said. “That’s not an easy thing to do, it’s easy to say,” the chief said. “We have to make some signiﬁcant investments into our IT infrastructure for us

Ottawa Valley Tours

to move towards that type of environment that allows that shared information.” He said the city’s established open data program is not linked to the police service, so the police would have to ﬁnd and buy its own software as well as upgrade its current records management system. But improving open data is one of the service’s key priorities for its IT department in the long-term, Bordeleau said. “We are going down that road, it’s just a matter of time, money and priorities,” Bordeleau said.

Osgoode museum welcomes sculpture Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

It’s not every day a small community museum receives a massive art piece from an internationally renowned sculptor – which made July 28 all the more exciting at the Osgoode Township Museum in Vernon. Volunteer welders from the International Iron Workers in Metcalfe braved the humidity alongside museum volunteers to assemble a large, stainless steel arbour amongst the beans and lettuce of the museum’s thriving community garden. The arbour was designed and built by Ottawa sculptor Bruce Garner, who is best known locally for the massive bronze bear who guards the entrance to Sparks Street across from the National War Memorial downtown.

Garner mentored museum president Gary Briggs, a sculptor in his own right, but Garner died several years ago. When Briggs and the museum team began to plant their heritage community garden in front of the museum’s old schoolhouse building on Highway 31, Garner’s wife Tamaya decided to donate the arbour that had been in her backyard for a decade. “It’s kind of nice to see his work continue to come up,” she said. The arbour was originally commissioned for a condo development in the city’s east end. But once it was installed, the residents didn’t follow through with the concept, which was to plant vines around the arbour to create a living art piece. Eventually the developer gave the arbour back, and it has been sitting on

Garner’s property ever since. This time there’s no doubt the arbour will fulfill its original purpose; while it has been modified from an original circus theme to a shorter, less tent-like version, there are already plans to plant grapes, morning glories and other climbing species around the base. “What Bruce wanted was a combination of all sorts of things growing in it,” Tamaya said, noting the plan is to create a sort of “upside-down nest” in the middle. “It will get better as the years go on.” For the museum, bringing the piece back to life could be a huge boon. Garner was a vocal supporter of publicly accessible art, and his pieces can accordingly be found in public spaces across the nation. That alone might create some positive attention, said museum

ready starting to do that. It was started several years ago to complement the fact that the museum is housed in an old school house, many of which used to have community gar-

dens as a matter of course in Ontario. Visit the arbour – and harvest some fresh vegetables – all summer at 7814 Lawrence St. in Vernon.

Getting the message across Fire department spokesman settling into new role Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

If you like to keep abreast of fires in Ottawa, chances are you’re following Capt. Bob Rainboth on Twitter. Over the past month, he’s watched as more and more people are following his account, especially when he live-tweets from the scene of a fire or shares developments he hears on the department’s radio channels. He gained several new followers as he tweeted from a recent scrapyard fire in Stittsville. “I was able to document it and inform people of why is there black smoke in the air, and what impact this has and what resources we are using,” said Rainboth, who became the department’s spokesperson in March. Since then he has embraced his role as the go-to source for breaking fire news and sharing highlights about the work of the department’s specialized units and distributing public education messages. “That is a big part of my role is trying to get information out to stakeholders and media so they get a snapshot of

what is going on so they don’t have to be chasing us down, whether it’s me or dispatch, to get the basics,” he said. “It helps everybody.” Now in his 24th year of firefighting, Rainboth joined the Gloucester Fire Department prior to amalgamation at the encouragement of his father, Bob Rainboth Sr., who retired as an Ottawa deputy fire chief after 39 years. “When I was young, he kept saying you should look at the fire service as a potential job,” Rainboth recalled. Instead, he spent time travelling the world and just prior to his return he felt the timing was right to start a firefighting career. He successfully applied to both the Gloucester and Ottawa fire departments, deciding to take a position with Gloucester because it was a smaller department of only 140 members. “I also wanted a bit of a new beginning because my father was a person of interest with the City of Ottawa. I didn’t want to be in his shadow,” Rainboth said of his father, who passed away three years ago. But then came amalgamation, and he ended up in the City of Ottawa’s fire

department. Over the years, Rainboth has chalked up a wealth of experience as acting lieutenant, and while serving on several specialized teams – extrication, water rescue, heavy rescue and as an instructor. His most recent role was working on the fire truck rigs in Orléans. “I literally went to the fire trucks from the office,” Rainboth said. Part of the challenge of his new role will be sharing as much about the multi-faceted department as he can.

Volunteers in kayaks and on stand up paddleboards stay close to swimmers in the 2014 Riverkeeper 4 km Interprovincial Swim. Volunteers will once again be a feature of the event this year. what you value and love.” The interprovincial swim will take participants from the starting point at Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer, across the Ottawa River to Lac Deschenes Sailing Club in Ottawa on Aug. 15. It’s a difficult swim that McKlusky said could leave even experienced swimmers feeling challenged. “It’s a more challenging swim. You lose sight of the shore, and some people get a little nervous about that,” McKlusky said. “So it’s a bit of a challenge, it’s a bit of a chop if it’s a windy day (and) there’s a current.” For that reason, McKlusky said, swimmers will have the support of a team of stand-up paddle boarders, kayakers and canoeists. Those volunteers will spread out over the race course, ready to assist swimmers in need. “Their job is to paddle along beside (swimmers). They offer words of encouragement,”

she said, adding that support volunteers will also help guide any swimmer who becomes disoriented and strays from their course toward the shore. “And if someone’s in distress the canoeist raises their paddle and then a rescue boat comes in and pulls them out of the water.” The race has a two hour limit and it took most swimmers in the 2014 event about 80 minutes to complete it. Lesley Dusevic crossed the river in 58 minutes, becoming the first person ever to complete the race. She’ll return to the race this year, not to defend her title, but for the same reason that she entered last year. “I just want to have some fun and enjoy a great swim,” Dusevic said. “I think it’s fabulous to advertise the fact that Ottawa Riverkeeper exists. To just to raise awareness and help support the organization, that’s my biggest concern.”

Last year’s Ottawa Riverkeeper 4 km Interprovincial Swim attracted 36 swimmers despite the inherent challenge, unseasonably cold August weather and choppy waves. With that successful pilot event behind them and this year’s temperatures sailing above last year’s, organizers have raised their expectations of the swim for its second year. Because they were running the fundraising event for the first time, organizers of last year’s swim capped registration at 50 swimmers, and the event raised $5,000 that Ottawa Riverkeeper used to purchase 10 new water quality test kits. This year, up to 100 swimmers can compete, and the swim’s organizers have added a team component: the team with the most members wins. And it’s all for the sake of the river. Ottawa Riverkeeper strives to protect and promote the health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries through regular monitoring of water quality, public outreach and education. Its manager of partnerships and donor relations, Ruth McKlusky, said the event is about raising awareness of the health of the river and its tributaries as well as raising funds. “It’s public awareness, to show people that water quality is important. Water quality knows no borders,” she said. “We just want to get people out on the water. People tend to take the rivers for granted, so if you use it and value it you’ll protect

RedBlacks, Fury rally for Ottawa Food Bank Teams’ fans raise 18,590 kilos of food in summer drive Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Ottawa RedBlacks and Fury FC fans have helped give a boost to the Ottawa Food

Bank in its slowest months of the year. RedBlacks fans donated the equivalent of 16,270 kilograms of food, as they braved torrential showers on the evening of July 17 for a game at TD Place against the Edmonton Eskimos. Fans brought bags and carts packed full of non-perishable food for the the Purolator Tackle Hunger Weekend initiative. Fury FC fans contributed 2,320 kilograms of food, which put the total amount

donated from fans over the July 18 weekend at 18,590 Kilograms. While the city’s need for food assistance does not diminish in summer months, donations dip at the food bank as people go on vacation. Each donation could mean the difference between having a meal and going without. This makes food bank partnerships with professional sports teams such as the RedBlacks and the Fury all the more important, said food bank managers.

“The donations raised through the Purolator Tackle Hunger Game Day Food Drive couldn’t come at a better time as our food donations are at their lowest over the summer months,” said Michael Maidment, executive director of the food bank. The food bank feeds 50,000 people through 140 programs citywide every month. Around 37 per cent of those people tend to be children. An average of 12 to 14 tons of food is shipped out of the food bank’s

warehouse on Michael Street every week. The RedBlack’s starting quarterback Henry Burris and Fury defender Mason Trafford threw their star power behind the initiative. The duo represented their teams at a food bank ceremony on July 16 and challenged fans to bring 22,700 kilograms of food to home games in one weekend. While the initiative fell short of reaching its goal for the weekend, organizers still heralded it as a success.

“Thanks to the outstanding and inspiring support of Ottawa RedBlacks and Ottawa Fury fans, this year’s Purolator Tackle Hunger Game Day Food Drives raised more than 40,900 pounds for the Ottawa Food Bank,” Purolator president Patrick Nangle said in a statement. “The food and funds raised will go a long way in feeding those affected by hunger in Ottawa and surrounding areas.” With files from Steph Willems

Funding to help women and Aboriginals in skilled trades Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The federal government has committed money to get Aboriginal and female workers into the skilled trades. The announcement was made on the West Lawn at Parliament Hill on July 24 by Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau and Kellie Leitch, Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women. “Skilled trades are amongst the most important and critical of the Canadian economy,”

said Leitch. “I take pride in travelling this great country and encouraging more men, but in particular more women, to enter into a career of skilled professional trades.” She announced just under $230,000 in funding for a 36month program, run through the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, to increase apprenticeship opportunities for women living in rural or remote parts of the country. Sarah Watts-Rynard, executive director at the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, said

part of the program will create an online network for employers and women to connect. She said encouraging women to connect may help battle “the isolation that can occur when you’re the only woman on a skilled trades work site.” They will also look at some of the best practises in the industry for recruiting and retaining female apprentices. “We’re looking for employers to share their experiences and insights,” Watts-Rynard said. “I think there are many opportunities in these projects

to advance the conversation.” The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum was awarded additional funding, $210,000, for a project to encourage more Aboriginals to join the skilled trades and take on apprenticeships. Galipeau, citing Statistics Canada, said that one in four Aboriginal people of working age are not participating in the workforce. “Why’s that?” he said. “Aboriginal peoples often cite insufficient access to quality education, and the desire to

remain in their communities as reasons. Further, they point to the lack of access to employer connections as a major factor in underrepresentation in the workforce.” Galipeau said the mining industry is an exception, as almost seven per cent of those working in mining are Aboriginal. The funds will be used to create an action plan for hiring and retaining Aboriginal apprentices, Watts-Rynard said. “We’re partnering with Aboriginal organizations and Ab-

original apprentices to find out what some of their challenges are when connecting with employers and then connecting with the employers who are really having success,” she said. “We’re really going to be able to highlight some best practises across the country and put together those successful strategies when it comes to the learning, the skill development, and the cultural expectations of indigenous peoples in the skilled workforce,” Watts-Rynard said.

Police probing sexual assaults at Britannia Beach Staff

Police are investigating separate complaints by two teenage girls that they were sexually assaulted while swimming at Britannia Beach on July 27. That evening, police received reports of a man who inappropriately touched the two teens in separate incidents while they were wading in an unsupervised area of the beach. The suspect is described as a short-haired black male in his mid-20s to early 30s, five-foot-nine with a medium to chubby build. Police say the man was wearing large sunglasses, a black hat, black T-shirt and black swimming shorts with a red stripe down the leg, and that he spoke English with a heavy French accent. Ottawa police are concerned there may be other victims. “Because of the location, and because of the time, summer, there are a lot of families that attend the beaches in Ottawa,” said police spokesman Chuck Benoit. “This is a suspect that possibly has been going to Britannia Beach and we’re looking for parents to come forward if there have been other victims. “Just from the information that was given, there’s a possibility that there are more victims that were either on that day or on separate days.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Soapbox derby seeks more ‘Super Kids’ Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

The push is on to get more kids signed up to participate in the Super Kids races at this month’s Manotick Soapbox Derby. For the first time, the annual end of summer event in the village scheduled for Sunday, August 30, will include Super Kids races that give youngsters with special needs an opportunity to participate in the fun. So far just one youth has registered to take part in the Super Kids aspect of the Manotick Village Community Association sponsored event. But regardless of how many eventually register to take part, the Super Kids races will go forward, said derby organizer Allan Haan. “We’d like to have at least four, but if we get just one so be it. It would be disappointing, but we’ll go with just one,” Haan said. “It will not be cancelled.” The Super Kids program

uses custom built two-seater derby cars specifically designed to allow children between eight and 18 years of age who have physical or developmental challenges to participate in soapbox derby races. The addition of the Super Kids to this year’s Manotick soapbox derby is a bit of a coup for derby organizers and the MVCA. “MVCA is delighted that the Canadian headquarters of Super Kids in Peterborough is lending us two of their special carts this year so that we can offer children with special needs in the Ottawa area with the opportunity to participate in a soapbox derby,” the MVCA’s Sheila Dubyk said, adding Manotick’s derby is the only one in eastern Ontario to offer the Super Kids program this year. The carts on loan from Peterborough are expected to arrive in Manotick on August 16. Registration for the event

at Centennial Park, next to the Manotick Arena, is well underway with all information potential participants need available at the MVCA’s website (www.manotickvca. org). Haan said for the derby as a whole registration is in line with previous years, adding that the pace of registration picks up in August as the event nears. Participants must be at least seven years of age to race and can purchase a kit online, or make a race cart from items found around the house. Specifications for the carts can also be found on the MVCA website. The MVCA also has a limited number of carts available that have been sponsored by associations and businesses in the community for youth who do not have a racing cart. The MVCA has 14 available slots for riders in the seven-sponsored carts. “The derby is really a family event during which kids can design and build

Deaf? Hard of hearing? Want a job?

their own carts with the help of a parent or grandparent,” Dubyk said. “This was one of the driving forces behind starting the Manotick Soapbox Derby five years ago.”

Specially designed cars such as these are being loaned to the Manotick Soapbox Derby so kids with physical or developmental challenges can take part in Super Kids races at the Aug. 30 event. Submitted

Beloved Lego collection finds homes in fast fundraiser mdelaire@metroland.com

A one-day sale of Lego has raised $5,303 for CHEO, as well as the spirits of Mark Valcour’s family and friends. Before his sudden death in January at 60, the Nepean man had big plans for his 68-kilogram collection of Lego. Valcour – a long-time radio broadcasting instructor at Carleton University – was an avid Lego engineer. At the time of his death he had begun work on a massive Lego space-themed city he’d designed from scratch. His plan was to donate the completed city to CHEO. As a child born with a muscular congenital disorder, he became well acquainted with hospital rooms growing up, with medical stays often lasting for weeks. After he died unexpectedly, but peacefully, at home and in his sleep on Jan. 7, Valcour’s close friend Valerie Kekanovich discussed donating his collection to CHEO with his family. She decided not to finish construction on the space city. “There’s no way we would have ever been able to bring justice to his vision,” Kekanovich said. Instead, she planned to disassemble it and donate the components. But before she could do that, she learned that CHEO could not accept the Lego, due to safety and sanitary reasons. She knew she wanted to do something positive with the Lego, but didn’t know what. That’s when Karen Fraser entered the equation. Fraser and Kekanovich are co-workers. Fraser’s husband Darren Gauthier happens to construct Lego sets as a hobby. When Fraser learned that Kekanovich was looking for help finding a worthy use for Valcour’s Lego, she offered to lend a hand. In early July, the entire collection was delivered to Fraser and Gauthier’s home in 25 tubs. Included in the collection were 325 minifigures, and 27 Lego sets spanning from 1985 to 2015. The components of those sets were scattered throughout the collection. Valcour, a scratch builder, preferred to ignore the instruction manuals that came with each set and use the components he needed to build his original creations. According to Kekanovich, he had mastered the art of thinking outside of the box. “He was never one to follow guidelines or instructions just because they were there,” she said. “He’d do it sometimes because it’s the right thing to do, but he knew there are other things that you can do if you think of them and if you try.” That was the attitude that got him through numerous extended hospital stays as a child in an era before handheld electronic devices, and it was with that sentiment that he wanted to give CHEO’s patients something to occupy their time, and their minds. “No one could ever tell Mark he couldn’t do something,” she said. “Well, you could tell him, but you’d be wrong.” So beginning in early July, Fraser, her husband, friends, family and volunteers from the neighbourhood spent the three weeks sorting through the massive collection. They sorted the pieces for each set – which Gauthier then built – in preparation for a one-day Lego sale at the couple’s home on July 25. Although the Lego itself could not go to

CHEO, their hope is that CHEO will use the proceeds of the sale for something to benefit its young charges. “We did what we thought was second best, which was to sell it in a fundraiser for CHEO,” Fraser said. “Maybe they’ll buy some toys or Lego, or maybe they can buy a piece of equipment that can benefit many, many children. So hopefully it’s a win-win.” The day came, with completed Lego sets on display in Fraser and Gauthier’s garage, 125 bags of assorted Lego pieces weighed and raffle prizes donated by Mrs. Tiggy Winkles, Mastermind Toys Barrhaven and Playvalue Toys present and accounted for. The sale was advertised to begin at 9 a.m. Around 7 a.m. the first prospective shopper, a young girl on a bicycle, stopped by the garage to scope out the goods. By 8:15 a.m. a crowd of people had formed in the driveway of the home. Two hours later, Karen said, the collection was almost entirely gone, with $5,303 raised for CHEO. “By 10:15 there was virtually nothing left,” Fraser said. “We had 325 minifigures and there are none left. At one point you couldn’t get in our garage or in our driveway. The cars were parked up and down the street both ways. Everyone was respectful, everyone was kind.” Although Kekanovich, Fraser and Gauthier could not fulfill Valcour’s original plan for his Lego collection, Fraser, who never met Valcour before his death, thinks he would be pleased with the outcome anyway.

The sale in support of CHEO celebrated Mark Valcour – a Lego enthusiast who died in January. Friends and family worked to sell the large collection – about 70 kilograms worth of Lego – which Valcourt wanted to benefit CHEO. “It’s almost circular that he was in hospital, and he got into the Lego later on in life and wanted it to go to something like CHEO, and then we were able to sell it for the fundraiser,” she said. “I hope

he’s pleased that we raised an awful lot of money for CHEO. I hope he’s pleased that all of these people are now playing with and enjoying and building and being creative with his Lego.”

The Kreative Kids Who Kare are preparing for their eighth year of collecting liquor bottles and cans in support of CHEO, and the stars have aligned to show the family that perhaps they were destined to start the project all along. In their eighth year, the Crepeault family are holding their annual bottle drive on the eighth day of the eighth month, starting at 8 a.m. Just three months ago, they welcomed their eighth child and volunteer, Samuel. “It was just meant to be from the start I guess,” said Jacob, 19, the oldest of the siblings, of the coincidental numbers. The family began their annual bottle drive when parents Wendy and Kevin challenged their kids to come up with a charity project. The kids chose to support CHEO, as many members of the family have been through the hospital due to illnesses and broken bones. This year, the family’s

newest member was the first in years to make an appearance at CHEO for cystic fibrosis testing, which, though unpleasant, came back negative. Over the last seven years, the family has raised more than $13,000 for CHEO through the bottle drive and a bake sale which they run at the same time. This year, the Bridlewood family is hoping the bottle drive continues to grow, with more volunteers and more houses to visit in search of jackpots. After seven years the family has many stories of knocking on a new door and not knowing what to expect, and finding a treasure trove of bottles and cans. Jacob recalls one lady in particular who started dancing and singing when he told her they were collecting cans and bottles for CHEO. “I guess people are more into this than we thought,” he said. Though the family tends to keep its bottle drive to within Bridlewood, in recent years others across Kanata

have heard of the family and arranged to have their recyclables picked up or dropped off at the family’s home at 20 Redstone Ln. Kevin said the family hopes to keep expanding the range of their drive with people who get in contact ahead of time to arrange for bottles and cans to be picked up. By this time, just about everyone in the family are pros at going door to door. “I would just say now, you are just worried about some guy in a bathrobe coming up when you ring the doorbell,” said Jacob. So far, the family has about seven cars and 17 volunteers planning to help out the family with the drive on Aug. 8, but the family can always use more, said Wendy. Volunteers can gather at the family’s house at 20 Redstone Ln. at 8 a.m., and head out on the drive at about 8:30 a.m., said Hannah, 17. The bake sale will continue until about 1 p.m., or until all the food has been sold, she said. Anyone interested in helping out can email the family at crepeault602@bell.net.

The first round of Ottawa Idol hopefuls have already visited Hazeldean Mall, but the second round of auditions in Kanata has the competition’s founder expecting many more talented singers. This is the first year Ottawa Idol is holding its auditions at the Hazeldean Mall. Judges this year are singersongwriter Danielle Allard, Dennis Combe, host of Internet-based Blue North Radio, and vocalist Jenna Taggart. The first round of auditions took place July 11 and 12, while many people on summer vacation, said Ottawa Idol founder Eldon Fox. “The August ones (from Aug. 15 to 16) are always a lot better,” he said. The judges are looking for wellrounded singers with stage presence, a professional attitude and singing ability as well, though he encouraged anyone who is interested to try out. “It’s a stepping stone to get judged by some professional people that give good advice,” he said. “We try to get (singers) to the next level all the time. Maybe they are not good enough at 13 years old to win it, but by the time they go a couple of years, with some advice and some coaching and whatnot, they are ready to go.” That has been the case for many

Ottawa Idol winners, he said, though last year’s winner was an exception. Orléans resident Bernice Reyes, then 15 years old, sang her way past her competitors to come out on top. She won over the judges with powerful ballads and her professional know-how, and with costume changes between each of her songs in the finals. For the first time in the competition, she won a professionally written song and a sit-down interview with Universal Music, along with studio time. The winner of this year’s Ottawa Idol will receive the same award to help them on their way to a professional career. Reyes’s interview with Universal Music took place in early July, said Fox. “They are looking for her to get maybe a little more experience,” he said, adding that the meeting was a good first step. Reyes will soon be releasing a music video shot on Parliament Hill, along the Rideau Canal and other locations in Ottawa, featuring the song she won with in the competition, This Is Our Time, said Fox. The competition usually attracts between 150 and 175 contestants, with 25 of those going on to the semifinals after the Aug. 22 showcase at the Hazeldean Mall. From there, the final stages of the competition are held at Algonquin College’s Commons Theatre.

Man arrested for ‘fornicating’ with National War Memorial Staﬀ

A frisky 22-year-old man has been arrested after he was caught “fornicating” with a statue on the National War Memorial, police said. The man was charged with mischief late on the evening of Aug. 2, after bystanders saw him climb up the monument and hump the statue.

The man was still on scene when police arrived. He was held in custody until he appeared in court the following day. Sentries have guarded the memorial during the day since 2006, when a man was caught urinating on the monument.

She’s an inquisitive girl who loves to learn new things and would beneﬁt from a family experienced with her breed to help with her training. Diamond would enjoy an adult home with a routine she can come to expect. She would prefer to be the only pet in the home until she learns to share her things with other animal friends.

Quite a bit of ceremony involved in the day of thrashing

egardless what it said in the dictionary, everyone at Northcote called it “thrashing.” Threshing was a foreign word to the farmers who gathered at the homesteads this time of year to separate the grain from the chaff. To us five kids, the day was almost as good as going off to the Renfrew Fair. We didn’t go to school that day. Every hand was needed on the farm. Chores would have to be done before the sun was up on thrashing day, and certainly breakfast over with and the kitchen made ready for 15 or 20 men Mother would be feeding at dinner. Neighbours came when their own chores were out of the way, and they would gather in the barn yard, leaning on their wagons, smoking their pipes and passing the time until Mr. Briscoe with his team of horses pulling the big thrashing machine came through the gate. And then it was time. Teams of horses would bring in the sheaves from the fields, feed

MARY COOK Memories them into the big machine, once bright red but now faded from the elements. The noise was deafening as the thrasher chugged away under the blistering hot sun. My three brothers worked right alongside the men, and when I wasn’t pressed into service in the kitchen, I pulled a chair up to the window, looking out into the barn yard, watching all our neighbours working as one. My sister Audrey had the job of keeping the granite pail of water filled to the brim, with shards of ice from the ice house floating on top. One tin cup would serve all who wanted to stop for a cold drink of water. In the house, the kitchen would be beastly hot. All night the big haunch of beef would be cooking in the oven.

The day before thrashing, Aunty who came each year to help, would have turned out eight to 10 pies, and they would be on the bake table, already cut in four. All morning the kitchen buzzed with dinner preparations. The old pine table wouldn’t hold all the men, so three planks stretched across chair backs. The planks were covered with a thick quilt, and then sparkling white flour bag sheets, all to take care of the overflow. Every last plate, cup and saucer, and every piece of cutlery was spread out on the two tables, and it was my job to go outside and into the dark hole under the house which served as a cellar and was the bane of my existence, and bring up at least four different kinds of pickles from the swinging shelves. There was little formality back then. The full jars were put two to a table, with a big serving spoon at each. By the time the CPR clock struck noon, the thrashing machine was closing down. Mother had put two wash basins at the back door, with a new bar of Ivory soap. Each

man splashed water on his face, gave it a rub with the huck towel, and handed it off to the next in line. They were far from clean when they piled into the kitchen, found a place to sit, and awaited the heaping platters and bowls of food.

Each man splashed water on his face, gave it a rub with the huck towel, and handed it off to the next in line. They were far from clean when they piled into the kitchen, found a place to sit, and awaited the heaping platters and bowls of food. There were creamed potatoes, carrots, turnips, cabbage salad, jugs of gravy, and of course, platters of hot beef and cold sliced roasted pork. Two plates of fresh bread and

butter sat at either end of the two tables, with Mother and Audrey at the ready to refill the bowls. No one bothered with clean plates when it came time to dole out the pie. The dinner plates looked like they had been washed in soap and water, wiped clean with thick slices of bread. There was no loitering after the meal. Mr. Briscoe was the first to push his chair back from the table, and I could hear the thrashing machine roar into action, and the work began again. My three brothers and Father had barely enough energy to do the chores afterwards. But the bags upon bags of grain stacked inside the barn, would once again show what it meant to live in a tight community where farmers depended on each other. That, simply, was the way things were done back then. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Ottawa South News - Thursday, August 6, 2015

The University of Ottawa has hired a new coach to lead its resurrected hockey program. The Gee-Gees men’s hockey team had been suspended for more than two seasons after sexual assault charges were filed against of its two players in 2014. A university committee selected Patrick Grandmaître, 36, to work behind the bench when the team returns to the ice in September 2016. Grandmaître played five seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with the Victoriaville Tigres and the Quebec Remparts. A graduate of St. Francis Xavier University, Grandmaître led his alma mater’s hockey team to the 2004 Canadian

Interuniversity Sport national championship. He was then given the 2005 Atlantic University Sport Award, given to an athlete who excels both athletically and academically. “My five years as a CIS student-athlete allowed me to develop considerably as a person, particularly in leadership and becoming involved in the community,” Grandmaître said in a press release. “A coach must lead as well as coach, and I look forward to working with the Gee-Gees organization to put a great team on the ice.” After university, he played professionally in Germany for four seasons. Grandmaître, who is a native of Hull, has also coached hockey in Gatineau in a number of different programs since 2010 and was an assistant coach for the Gee-Gees women’s hockey team in 2010-11. The school set up a search committee to find a new coach after it recently announced it would revive the team for the 2016-17 season. The committee included former Ottawa

Senators coach and uOttawa alumnus Jacques Martin, as well as Senators president Cyril Leeder. The Gee-Gees men’s hockey team was originally suspended in March 2014 after a woman said she was sexually assaulted by a number of players on a trip to Thunder Bay, Ont. The 2014-15 season was cancelled and two players were later charged. The program’s previous coach, Real Paiement, was fired based on the university’s finding he had not alerted school officials to the incident. The university subsequently cancelled the 2015-16 season as well, triggering a class action lawsuit against the school and its president Allan Rock by a number of former players, seeking $6 million in damages. The players said the cancellation of their season tarnished their own reputations and unfairly punished them for the alleged actions of others. With files from TorStar News Service

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 almost seems as if something is working against you this week, Aries. It could just be your overactive imagination. Channel your energy into a creative project. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may get swept away in some lifelike dreams this week, Taurus. It may be difficult to discern when you’re awake or asleep. Don’t get carried away. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a professional predicament may have you feeling as if you have been run ragged. Regroup, even if it means taking a few days off. This time away is just the remedy you need. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 It’s nearly impossible to stick to your schedule this week, Cancer. Too many things will pop up, and you’ll be spending your time juggling multiple responsibilities. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your imagination may push you in the wrong direction this week. Daydreaming instead of getting things done is risky. Focus on the tasks at hand. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your coworkers will come through in a big way this week. Make the most of this opportunitity to work together as a team, and it will pay dividends going forward.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a little daydreaming can be good for the soul. Give daydreams their due time, but remember to refocus on real life as well. You’re up to a challenge you face this week. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your schedule is about to clear up so now is a great time to take some time off. You deserve a break after buckling down for so long. Relax and enjoy yourself. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You know what needs to be done, Sagittarius. You may not have enough manpower to get everything accomplished, so put out a few feelers to see who is up to helping. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, continue with your consistent approach to handling your many responsibilities. You’re juggling a lot these days, and you’re benefitting from your work ethic. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, adhere to your original plan this week, avoiding distraction until the tasks at hand are a distant memory. Your plan is reliable and sure to work. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 It’s nearly impossible to hide your emotions right now, Pisces. So why not share them and get some support from friends and family? 0806
