Alta Vista Coun. stepping down Peter Hume withdraws from election in search of better work-life balance Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - After 23 years in local politics, Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume surprised constituents and council alike with his announcement last week that he is withdrawing from the municipal election.

Hume announced in a letter to residents that the increasing demands of the job – particularly due to his accessibility through email and social media – have taken their toll and led to work dominating his life.

said.

“You need someone who actually believes in those things to chair the committee, and quite frankly, I look around the table and I think there are lots of them that believe in the Official Plan – they all supported it – and would do a great job chairing the committee,” he said.

Hume said he’d like to see the city begin to play more of a negotiator’s role in trying to bring wanted amenities and developments to Ottawa, such as a grocery store for Little Italy, which is lacking for a supermarket.

Negotiating between disparate interests on council will also be important for the next council and it’s something that Hume says has served him well in his own political career.

“Being able to work with Diane Holmes. Being able to work with Allan Hubley. Being able to bridge both sides of the political spectrum was something that I was always proud of as a skill,” Hume said “That I could be the (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) president – a red Tory – during a Liberal majority government – I think it was those skills that allowed me to bridge and create those coalitions that allowed projects to be successful.”

Hume was quick to throw his support behind Jean Cloutier, an accountant and former Canterbury Community Association president, who Hume said has long had an interest in the council seat, but refused to run against the incumbent. Cloutier registered three days after Hume announced his withdrawal.

Hume said he expects more candidates to come forward and said they will be “good, qualified” candidates.

The other two contenders currently registered in Alta Vista are Daher Muse Calin and Hussein Mahmoud.

development committee. Hume also served as president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario from 2008 to 2011.

Spending more time with his wife, Anne Marie, and his daughter – a skier who competes around the globe – will help fill Hume’s time. He joked that he even liked his daughter’s idea that he could serve as a “liftie” – a ski-lift operator – over the winter so she could go train in Whistler.

“For a little second there, that sounded really appealing,” Hume laughed.

Hume said he will miss “being in the thick” of issues, particularly as Ottawa sees the areas around its new light-rail stations develop.

But he might still be involved in development issues in the future – on the other side of the council horseshoe. Hume said he’d be pleased to play some role in bringing the type of development he supports – such as a well-designed mid-rise building in a location with the right zoning – to fruition.

“I am not interested in being a lobbyist who comes down here (to city hall) and says ‘I want to expand the urban boundary, I want to blow up this (community design plan),’” Hume said.

“Things that I’ve talked about and believed in – would I like to go and actually put those into practise? If I had that opportunity, I’d love to do that.”

Hume leaves a big hole as the long-standing chairman of the planning committee, which he has led for 10 years.

The next head of that committee will need to be someone who stands behind the city’s updated Official Plan, with its focus on intensification and improving public spaces,” Hume

Coun. Peter Hume says there are many councillors presently serving on council who could replace him as chair of the planning commitee.

Arrest made in string of retail robberies High-end surveillance videos key to cracking cases Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A 35-year-old Ottawa man is facing a slew of robbery charges, including three counts of wearing a disguise, after gas station kiosks in south Ottawa and west Ottawa and a convenience store in Nepean were targeted, according to police. “It’s pretty clear the way the robberies were going, I mean, he probably wasn’t going to stop, so to get the arrest behind us probably prevents further robberies taking place,� said Staff Sgt.

In similar fashion, on Aug. 5 at 1:05 p.m., a lone male suspect threatened a clerk and demanded cash at a convenience store in the 1000-block of Merivale Road in Nepean.

He then took off with a small amount of money as well as

No one was injured in the altercations, and no weapon was used, but the suspect did threaten to use violence during the robberies, police say. “Any robbery is inherently violent,� Haarbosch said. “That’s one of the key components of actually the charge of robbery – some kind of violence or the threat of violence.�

Candidate promotes idea of community garden for Ward 22 laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A Gloucester-South Nepean candidate says he’s working on getting the ward its first community gardens.

Michael Qaqish, a former aide to outgoing councillor Steve Desroches, says he has been working with residents and community associations as well as food security group Just Food to promote the idea of setting up nonprofit garden plots. Members of the community

who want to garden, but don’t have space for it, could sign up for a plot and grow vegetables.

Qaqish said a community garden would also increase well being by helping people form relationships with their neighbours as they develop skills.

They could also gain a sense of independence as they are able to save money on groceries, he said.

If elected, Qaqish said he would work with city staff and developers to find an appropriate location for the garden.

Airport Parkway bridge inches toward completion erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A “huge milestone” was craned in to place over the Airport Parkway last week – an important step forward in the overdue construction of the pedestrian and cycling bridge north of Hunt Club Road.

Three pieces of the deck went in on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. River Ward Coun. Maria McRae watched workers fit the pieces together and bolt them in place, among other steps.

“It was a huge milestone to actually see that,” said McRae. “It looks like a bridge now, and that structure is magnificent, and it was meant to be a gateway. That was what the community wanted as part of the design.

“When you go near the project it’s obvious we’re very, very close to getting this thing done right now.”

Railings are now being installed along the deck, a process that is expected to continue until the end of September.

Also in September, cables will be strung between the deck and the standalone anchorage piece that has hovered over the road for some time.

parkway.

“So (the) number one thing is to link the community with cycling, walking, either to get to public transit or take the cycling paths,” said McRae. “Number two, it allows people to safely get inside the Sawmill Creek constructed wetlands and (access) the cycling path.”

Following the results of the independent review on what went wrong in the project, construction started back up in early spring of this year.

But McRae can still recall driving by the construction site and seeing chunks of concrete falling in the fall of 2011.

“It looked like hockey pucks coming off the bridge,” she said. “I was there when they took it down. It was just awful.

“No one builds a project to fail, she said.

“Hopefully, the staff have learned from this and hopefully by the end of the lawsuit there will be some very good lessons out there for other contractors that want to work with the city,” said McRae. “And make sure you bring your ‘A’ game.”

Work continues on the Airport Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge after the deck was craned into place last week (Aug. 19 and 20). Railings along the span are now being installed and cables running between the deck and the standalone anchorage piece on the side of the parkway will be put in place in September.

The footbridge is expected to be ready for use by the end of the year, more than three years after the original deadline.

“It’s tracking on time right now,” said McRae. “It’s very consistent with what we said last October, which was just a heartbreaking day on many fronts.”

Originally budgeted to cost $6.8 million, the infrastructure project has spiked to $11 million, though the city hopes to recoup the costs associated with the faulty design of the original tower that had to be torn down after flaws were discovered.

The city launched a $4.6-million lawsuit earlier this year against WSP Canada Inc., which was known as Genivar when it was hired to design the structure.

A third-party review of the project published in February of this year also led to the city disciplining staff for contributing to the problems.

“It was such a betrayal … to find out there were problems with the design of that bridge,” said McRae, who began lobbying for a safe crossing at the parkway in her first term of office.

“Thousands of people live in this part of our city and tragically there have been people killed on the Airport Parkway, very badly hurt,” she said.

The east-west link gives people west of the busy road easier and safer access to the Greenboro transit station on the opposite side at the South Keys Shopping Centre.

It is also being built in consideration of future expansion of the

Holds lockers at south Ottawa library a provincial first Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Alexandra Yarrow presses a few buttons on an electronic screen within a bank of shiny new black lockers.

A small door to one of the lockers pops open, marking an important step in providing expanded library services for Hunt Club and Riverside Park residents, says River Ward’s Coun. Maria McRae. The high-tech lockers, which became available for use at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre on Aug. 18, are the newest pick-up location for library patrons who have placed holds on everything from books to video games.

The $30,000 holds lockers are the first of their kind in Ontario.

“It’s one-stop shopping now for library service in here,” said McRae, whose ward office is in the same building.

Library staff approached her about 18 months ago with the idea of test-driving the holds lockers.

Her ward is one of two in the city that do not have a bricks-and-mortar library, but with the recent installation of the lockers, residents now

River Ward Coun. Maria McRae, right, holds open the door to a new holds locker as Alexandra Yarrow, manager of alternative services for the Ottawa Public Library, retrieves a book. The Ottawa Public Library lockers, where patrons can pick up their requested materials, were recently installed at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre, marking their first ever use in Ontario. have access to the next best thing, said McRae. The closest library branches for residents in Hunt Club and Riverside Park are at Emerald Plaza on

Merivale Road, Greenboro on Lorry Greenberg Drive and another on Alta Vista Drive.

“For us this is a way to be where people are,” said Yarrow, manager of

alternative services for the Ottawa Public Library.

The electronic lockers represent the second installation of cuttingedge technology at the centre, following the introduction of two vending machines full of library materials, from books and museum passes to movies and music CDs, in spring 2010, coinciding with the facility’s expansion.

The machines were the first in Canada, and the second in North America behind Philadelphia.

“You can’t keep books in them some days,” said McRae, adding that they can be accessed seven days a week during the centre’s regular hours of operation. “There’s usually nose prints and hand prints on the glass.”

But the problem was if a patron wanted to read something specific, they could only choose the next available title at the kiosk since the machines couldn’t store holds or requested materials.

The library’s bookmobile, which has been servicing the community for decades, will continue making Wednesday stops at the centre.

A library staff member has been working out of the community cen-

tre twice a week, on Monday evenings, from 4 to 7:30 p.m., and Saturday mornings.

But with the new holds lockers in place, the Saturday hours have been cut since much of the foot traffic during that time was to make holds requests, said McRae. “Certainly (the lockers are) cheaper than the cost of having a seven-day-a-week person, and it doesn’t replace that human contact,” she said, noting an employee will continue to work at the site on Mondays so that people can get a library card or make holds requests and ask questions.

“It’s great to see the library embracing the community’s desire for more service and finding a cost effective way to do it,” said McRae. “This is a reliable Chevy. It didn’t have to be a Cadillac to make it work.”

The technology was made by the same company that has supplied self-checkout machines at a number of Ottawa library branches.

“It’s a very intuitive design, so for those two or three seniors (who recently used the lockers at the centre) they were able to do that on the first try,” Yarrow said.

News - A multi-use pathway crossing the O-Train tracks in Riverside Park is closed for one year for upgrades.

Signs will indicate a detour for cyclists and pedestrians to follow along Heron Road.

The Brookfield path, which crosses the O-Train tracks near Sawmill Creek Drive and Brookfield Road East, will be converted into an underpass under the Sawmill Creek OTrain bridge. The grade separation will make the crossing safer, the city says.

The path closed Aug. 20 and the new crossing will open in the fall of 2015.

The project is part of the $59-million expansion of O-Train service be-

tween Bayview and Greenboro stations. The upgrades, which include the addition of passing tracks, will see trains running every eight minutes instead of every 15 minutes once the work is completed later this year.

Please stop for school buses

P

arents across the city are breathing a collective sigh of relief, as the final days tick off the calendar to the start of the school year.

On Tuesday, Sept. 2, tens of thousands of children will stream into Ottawa’s streets, returning to school on foot or by car or bus. Motorists will begin seeing a lot of yellow starting next week. Fleets of school buses will flood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools. Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, but the French public and Catholic boards open a week earlier.

The colour yellow in motorist’s language always translates to one word: caution. Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners.

Kids will be kids, which means they are in constant motion. We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected. Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or a friend waiting at a bus stop.

Motorists would do well to drive a little more

slowly the first few weeks of September. They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus. It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street. By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing.

If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isn’t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in fines up to $2,000 upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motorist’s driver’s licence. And that’s only for a first conviction.

Each subsequent offence can result in fines as high as $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment for up to six months. Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyone’s responsibility. We’re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

Canada Post’s journey down the slippery slope

W

e’ve had lots of exposure to NIMBY – the Not in My Back Yard – phenomenon in which people rally to protect their neighbourhoods, sometimes selfishly, often nobly. But the front yard is not immune either. Nor the side, if you happen to be on a corner.

We’re seeing it already in Kanata, where there is controversy over the placing of the first of the new community mailboxes by Canada Post.

There is no perfect place to put one of these. It will always be right where there is no place to park, or right in front of someone’s house, or too far to get to on foot or too close to something else. Some people are annoyed and many more will be as the process of dropping home delivery and in-

news

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town stalling more community mailboxes continues over the next year or so.

The annoyance factor is accentuated by the fact that nobody wants these things in the first place. How could they? People are used to reaching outside the front door for the mail. Now they have to go somewhere else for it.

At least Canada Post, unlike many enterprises, is not billing this reduction in service as something that will serve the customer better.

It will serve Canada Post better, is the idea. Eliminating door-to-door delivery will enable it to cut costs and become more viable financially.

(Those with long memories will recall that Canada Post’s mandate used to be to serve the public, before it was changed to require the corporation to turn a profit.)

The irony of the community mailbox conversion is that it could make Canada Post less likely to turn a profit than it was before.

Most obviously, Canada Post is losing good will over the conversion and that can’t help any enterprise.

If people are mad at Canada Post, they will be more likely to use a competitor’s services.

But there is another factor at work too: the customer’s attitude toward

the mail they receive. As you know, few people write personal letters any more. Consequently, they buy fewer stamps and Canada Post must lean more heavily on distributing flyers and what unsympathetic customers refer to as junk mail.

Up to now, nobody has minded that much. The advertising that forms a large part of the mail we receive is an irritant, but it’s no trouble. We take it out of the mailbox and throw it away. Now we will have to walk down the street or perhaps even get into our cars to retrieve something we didn’t want in the first place.

Won’t that change our attitudes toward junk mail? Won’t we demand that Canada Post do something to reduce it?

And if Canada Post is forced by public opinion to cut back on the advertising it distributes, that will cut into Canada Post’s revenues, further undermining the financial position EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

minutes before they dispersed.

I went over to talk to the dad. “Nothing like a fish to gather the kids together.� “This is what school should be like,� he replied.

And I felt that little bubble of anxiety rise in my chest.

Like many parents, I start to worry as the start of another school year approaches. It’s the usual things, like forking out extra money for new shoes and underwear, planning school lunches and winding back bedtimes. But I also know my children will have a difficult adjustment to the indoor lifestyle that inevitably marks the debut of September.

This year, I expect the transition to be even more pronounced. My children have spent eight of their nine weeks of vacation outdoors.

We accumulated four weeks of tent camping.

In between, we had day kayak trips, picnics in Gatineau Park and fishing on the Ottawa River. They went to canoe camp. They rode their bikes, they played soccer, and we’ve been eating outdoors.

homework after sitting all day long. The days will get shorter. Their access to the sunshine limited. And their personalities will change.

I have a few strategies to try to lessen the impact.

But at the end of the day, as the dad indicated, it’s the indoor, sedentary school life which is largely out of my control. I met another parent recently who’s planning to home school her six-year-old with a group of other parents.

Three mornings per week is all it takes to get through the grade one curriculum.

The rest of their days will be spent in the garden, hiking outdoors and other physical ventures. I admire her and the lifestyle she’s creating for her family, but homeschooling is not for me.

Outside of school hours, I’ll try to get the kids active,

here’s nothing like a fish in a bucket to attract the attention of a group of kids.

That’s exactly what happened on the beach last week.

A kid caught a sunfish in a broken net.

He put it in a bucket of water. The next thing you know a group of 10 children, aged four to 12, are standing over the thing, watching it circle.

They had stopped whatever they were doing – swimming, sandcastles, volleyball – to give their full attention to the sunfish.

And then there was a dad.

He knew all about the fish.

The kids had questions. He had answers.

COMFORT IS KEY!

However, selecting a brocade or moirĂŠ fabric for your upholstery would be contrary to casualness in decorating.

The placement of furnishings in a room decorated in a casual style is usually asymmetrical because this type of room arrangement presents a less rigid appearance.

Despite their easygoing appearances, casual decorating schemes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just happen. They call for the same amount of effort that the most formal of design settings require. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big difference between a room thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decorated â&#x20AC;&#x153;haphazardly casualâ&#x20AC;? and one that features a well thought out casual design. Your goal should be to have your new casual room look as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not premeditated. Most importantly, your design scheme should be comfortable and well integrated with other rooms in your home.

Comfort should be your ďŹ rst consideration.

Does the furniture feel good to sit on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to touch?

Just as important, does it look comfortable?

An overstuffed chair with an ottoman sends the message, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come, and sit here.â&#x20AC;?

Certain fabrics and materials naturally lend themselves to a more casual style. Leather has always been an excellent choice for upholstery in casually elegant rooms, as have nubby, heavier textures, like chenilles and woven upholstery fabrics.

Informal balance seems to lend itself well to rooms where the message is to relax and unwind. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more restful to the human eye than a formal, symmetrical balance where placement of furnishings is exact and unyielding.

So relax in casual comfort.

A 25-year-old Ottawa man faces several charges stemming from a bank robbery at the Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre on Aug. 21.

Cops nab suspected bank robber Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 25-year-old Ottawa man has been charged in connection with a bank robbery at the Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre earlier this month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18th bank robbery of the year.

The suspect was arrested by Ottawa police on Aug. 21, after the robbery unit appealed to the public for help in identifying a lone male who entered a bank branch at the shopping centre on Aug. 6 around 5:10 p.m.

During the incident, which was caught on high-quality video surveillance tape, the man brieďŹ&#x201A;y sat in the branch before going up to a bank employee, and producing a note demanding money.

The suspect led the employee to believe he was armed, though police say no weapon was seen.

For unknown reasons, the man ďŹ&#x201A;ed the bank without any cash. Police say he may have been spooked by something. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if he got spooked by some-

thing or saw something or if he got impatient,â&#x20AC;?

Staff. Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit, said in the days following the robbery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was on the phone coming through the door. I suppose thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the possibility he had a second person outside and maybe that person saw something.â&#x20AC;?

No one was injured in the robbery.

Prior to making an arrest, police expressed concern the suspect would strike again because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the cash he wanted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concern obviously is now that he did leave empty handed â&#x20AC;Ś thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the possibility then that he may make another attempt,â&#x20AC;? Haarbosch told The News at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get him into custody sooner rather than later.â&#x20AC;?

An Ottawa man faces charges of robbery, uttering threats and breach of probation. He was expected to appear in court on Aug. 22.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to contact the robbery unit at 613-2361222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477.

While many of us have heard of Achilles Heel, perhaps we are not as familiar with the term Achilles Tendinopathy.

Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) refers to the inflammatory and degenerative changes to the Achilles tendon. The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles combine to form the Achilles, which is the strongest tendon in the body. Yet despite its strength, it has a weakness—it can frequently be injured. That predisposition to injury is attributed to the anatomy of the tendon and biomechanics of the foot.

Overuse and repetitive stress placed on the Achilles tendon often leads to injury. Orthotic-friendly footwear which provides arch support can help relieve Achilles tendon strain, according to the

The two muscles which form the Achilles cross three joints –the knee, ankle and subatalar joint and insert into the calcaneus. Plantar flexing the foot or tendon allows for propulsion, enabling us run or jump. A bursa between the Achilles tendon and calcaneus cushions and lubricates the tendon. When inflammation of the bursa occurs alongside insertional Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) this is known as “Haglund’s Syndrome”. Non-insertional AT is more common, encountered due to an area of hypovascularity near the calcaneal insertion.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, August 28, 2014

Business owners applaud opening of Hunt Club interchange News - Business owners and truck drivers are no longer chomping at the bit to shave several precious minutes off their travel times between the Hawthorne Business Park and Hwy. 417.

“Exciting,” was Eli Tannis’s reaction after he joined municipal and provincial representatives on Aug. 21 in cutting the ribbon to officially open the $58-million interchange at Hunt Club Road and Hwy. 417.

“It’s a tremendous addition to the infrastructure that’s going to help traffic flow for all traffic, but more importantly the business park,” said Tannis, president of the Ottawa Hawthorne Business Park Association. “We have a huge business park here with hundreds of businesses, thousands of trucks.”

The nearest interchange at Walkley Road and Hwy. 417 has been backlogged with traffic for years, the reason why the opening of the interchange is applauded by businesses and industry in the area.

“Having this, there’s no lights, the

trucks will be able to come in and out, especially going to Montreal,” said Tannis, vice-president of purchasing with Tannis Food Distributors, a 30-truck company based in the park.

Calling the opening a “big day” for businesses and the city, Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said the new interchange “will provide communities with more route options and greater flexibility, while also reducing congestion along adjacent routes, particularly at Walkley Road and Hawthorne, which has been a real pinch point for a long time.”

There are also environmental benefits that will come from the new interchange, since a reduction in travel times will result in less idling in traffic.

“It’s more efficient and environmentally, you’re not going to have traffic tie-ups and trailers sitting for 30 minutes, 20 minutes – dozens of tractor trailers sitting in traffic,” Tannis said. “They’re going to be running smoothly so it’s a huge win.”

News - The year Pauline O’Regan was born the Titanic sank. And as a little girl, she can still recall hiding behind her grandmother’s skirts during the Halifax explosion of 1917.

“How can I forget?” she said of the noise.

As a young debutante, she danced evenings away at the Chateau Laurier in downtown Ottawa.

“Thirteen balls in a row,” she recalled with a smile. “All of our dresses were all white.”

When she hopped on a northbound airplane in Winnipeg and landed in the Pas, Man. in 1921, she is believed to be the first non-Aboriginal woman at the time to have travelled that far north without a chaperone.

“They resented me because I was a woman,” O’Regan said. “But it didn’t matter because I went just the same.”

The adventurer smiling broadly at the camera, a proud moment captured in a photograph during that remarkable trip, still has that same sparkle in her eye at 102 years of age.

Though some of O’Regan’s memories have faded with the passing of more than a century, they are precious to her family, including her niece and west Ottawa resident Patricia O’Regan. She came to celebrate her aunt and six other women, all residents of St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa who were fêted during a group birthday bash on Aug. 22.

While O’Regan turned 102 on April 28, Ruby Torrance, Kathleen Kelly, Dorothy Guy and Andrea Burke turned 100 earlier this year. Edith Wright celebrated her 105th, while Helen Goslinski turned 108 years old.

Patricia clinked glasses of champagne with her aunt and travelled down memory lane with her as they looked over pictures from decades long since passed.

O’Regan, who never married, lived in Sandy Hill for about 50 years and worked almost 40 years for the federal government in the income tax department, now known as Revenue Canada.

Road Safety a Priority as Children Return to School As some children are now back to school, I would like to take this opportunity to remind motorists to please be cautious, drive safe and follow the rules of the road, especially near school zones and school buses.

I know many residents have shared their feedback with me with respect to the conditions of these road networks and I am pleased to see the investments being made to upgrade the road infrastructure in South Ottawa.

The projects are expected to be completed this fall. I appreciate resident’s patience during construction.

They have lived a combined total of 715 years, an accomplishment that was celebrated at St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa on Aug. 22 during a group birthday party for Helen Goslinksi, 108, left, Dorothy Guy, 100, Kathleen Kelly, 100, Pauline O’Regan, 102, Andrea Burke, 100, Ruby Torrance, 100, and Edith Wright, 105 (not pictured).

‘She kept on trucking’ Continued from page 17

“She knew everybody’s income tax in the city,” said Patricia, who visits her father’s sister three times a week.

“And I knew everybody that had money,” her aunt quipped.

“But you couldn’t say anything to anybody,” Patricia replied.

“I had to keep quiet,” O’Regan agreed.

As the seven birthday stars looked on from the front of the room, Mayor Jim Watson said he couldn’t help but notice that there weren’t any men in the group, which prompted laughter from the celebrants, including River Ward Coun. Maria McRae and MPP for Ottawa South John Fraser.

To mark the occasion, Watson researched what life was like in 1914, around the time many of the women were born, and learned that a gallon of gas cost 12 cents, a gallon of milk was 32 cents, the average house cost $3,000 and the average price of a car was $500.

“So quite a bit has changed over the last century,” Watson said.

The simple way to shop for insurance.

Four generations of the Torrance family helped Ruby Torrance celebrate her 100th birthday during the party, though she actually turned 100 in June.

In fact, the family celebrated two birthdays that day, including that of Torrance’s great grandson Jacob, who turned 10.

The daughter of a silver miner, Torrance married in 1939, had one son and divorced early on in the marriage. She eventually went back to school and became a secretary for the United Steelworkers.

“She kept on trucking,” said her daughterin-law Jeannie Torrance. “A very, very strong woman.”

Though Torrance’s memories have also faded, she was able to live independently until very late in life, which her family attributes to her busy lifestyle following her retirement at 65.

“She took exercise classes, she took swimming classes. She walked the dog every day,” Jeannie, a Nepean resident, said.

In fact, her mother-in-law drove her car in her hometown of Toronto until age 91.

“She didn’t just sit back and do nothing.”

Ottawa South News - Thursday, August 28, 2014

Airport O-Train link may hurt residential service: association

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - An O-Train extension to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport could reduce service to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern suburbs, says a concerned member of the executive of the Findlay Creek Community Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are limitations to (extending a line to the airport) within the conďŹ nes of the technology that the OTrain uses,â&#x20AC;? said Brad Nixon, who oversees the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation portfolio.

The O-Train operates on a single track and the extension would require additional sections of double tracks, allowing trains to pass by each other, said Nixon, who attended a community input meeting on the proposed extensions in early July.

The proposed southern extension from Greenboro Station to Bowesville in Riverside South would feature three new stops at South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville. A new stop at Walkley Road along the existing line is also proposed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There ends up being a limit on how frequent the trains could run if, when they get south, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re branching to the airport or branching to Findlay Creek,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There potentially would be not as good service to Findlay Creek and Riverside South in order to accommodate running trains to the airport.â&#x20AC;?

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project team is in the process of evaluating possible extension and scheduling options. There are three likely candidates, one of which would mean lower frequency of service south of the new South Keys stop, said Colin Simpson, senior project manager with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation planning department.

In this â&#x20AC;&#x153;dual-service sce-

narioâ&#x20AC;? half of the trains would operate between Bayview station and the airport, and the other half would run between Bayview and Riverside South, he said in an email.

There is also potential to provide more frequent service to stations south of South Keys.

In this scenario, known as the airport branch service, all trains would run from Bayview to Riverside South and riders heading to the airport would transfer to a different train, Simpson said.

In the third option, all trains would operate from Bayview to the airport and riders would transfer to a separate train running to Riverside South. This scenario would offer higher frequency of service south of South keys, but riders would be required to transfer, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One scenario may be a combination where Riverside South gets the direct service during the morning and afternoon commuter peak periods, and the airport gets direct service at other times of the day,â&#x20AC;? Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will need to evaluate the impacts on ridership and travel time for each scenario.â&#x20AC;?

There would be an estimated 3,300 boardings during peak hours per day from Bowesville to Bayview in 2031, compared to about 115 to 330 trips along the airport line during peak times each day that same year, according to a draft presentation on the study that was reviewed by members of various commu-

nity associations, including Nixon, and other groups on July 10.

Extending an O-Train line to the airport would ease trafďŹ c congestion during peak times and enhance economic development, according to a report overview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peak travel demand from Leitrim and beyond (typically morning and afternoon peak periods) is different than the airport (typically later in the morning and earlier in the afternoon),â&#x20AC;? Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service frequency could be matched to peak travel demand if a dual-service overlay is recommended and further mitigated with increased bus service.â&#x20AC;?

The service and demand could also be better balanced if two trains in a row go to Riverside South and the third train goes to the airport, he said.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ne to study the feasibility of extending FILE service to the airport, imple- Concerns have been raised that a possible extension of the O-Train to the Ottawa menting that route should not airport could impact train frequency to a proposed new stop at Leitrim, which would be done if it means sacriďŹ c- service Findlay Creek residents. ing service frequency to the southern suburbs, especially in light of the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridership projections, Nixon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The percentage of people (taking transit) today in Findlay Creek, I think, is quite small compared to other neighbourhoods in the city just because our service has

been poor,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The O-Train extension is really what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take to make it competitive.â&#x20AC;?

A public open house on the study is planned for midDecember. The location has not yet been determined.

News – When Eugene Melnyk, owner of the Ottawa Senators, and the team’s top defenceman Erik Karlsson came up for air after being drenched with ice-cold water as part of a charitable ice-bucket challenge, the grins on their faces were infectious.

The dousing fittingly came just after Melnyk announced the second largest charity in the capital region has invested more than $100 million in community contributions since the team came to Ottawa in 1992.

“The collective philanthropic effects of the Ottawa Senators and our foundation has literally touched hundreds of thousands of lives in Ottawa and Gatineau,” Melnyk said, flanked by federal, provincial and municipal politicians at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata on Aug. 19.

“In fact, one out of every two people living in our region has benefitted from or participated in some way with our charitable and community efforts.”

Speaking before a large crowd that included dignitaries, Melnyk said the community investments of the team and the Ottawa Sena-

made by players, coaches and the team’s mascot each year.

He thanked the community, the fans and organizations and businesses for their support and contributions over the years, and gave special credit to philanthropist and journalist Max Keeping, who he said is a “shining example of how one individual can have such an influence on the compassion we have in our community.

“Max is an ambassador for our hockey team, and a long-serving member of our foundation board.”

The team and the foundation plan to set the bar even higher and “aim to set the standard that all NHL teams will want to follow when it comes to giving back to their respective communities,” the team owner said before issuing a call to action for teams to do more.

“I believe every NHL team bears a significant responsibility to boost the civic pride at making community building a priority,” said Melnyk, who became the team’s owner in 2003.

Member of Parliament for Nepean-Carleton Pierre Poilievre, who is the federal minister of state (democratic reform), said it can be difficult imagining what $100 million repre-

sents to individuals.

“But what this money has meant is that a depressed youngster who has no one to speak to can pick up the phone and someone on the other end of the line will answer, that when some young person is addicted to drugs and sees no way out there’s a step program funded in partnership with the government, the United Way and the Senators to give him or her full treatment,” Poilievre said, as dignitaries, including team president Cyril Leeder, Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin and Bob Chiarelli, member of provincial parliament for Ottawa West-Nepean and provincial energy minister, looked on.

Before proclaiming Aug. 19 as Ottawa Senators Foundation Day in the city, Mayor Jim Watson said the foundation has made Ottawa a much better place.

Calling the multimillion-dollar milestone an “amazing achievement,” the mayor said the Senators foster a tremendous amount of pride on the ice.

“But they’re also there at every turn in the community. I can’t think of many community philanthropic activities the Sens have not been involved with,” Watson said.

Continued from page 15

John Fraser, member of provincial parliament for Ottawa South, said the new transportation link will not only improve commute times but also help businesses grow.

“That’s one of the big reasons we continue to invest in the infrastructure in Ontario, why, through our budget, we’ve allocated a 10-year plan to continue to build infrastructure to make sure that families and businesses can continue to compete and succeed in today’s economy,” he said.

Mayor Jim Watson recalled driving by the area over the

years and wondering why the project was taking so long.

But given the scope of the interchange and the roadway extension, and the number of off-ramps and bridges that had to be installed and constructed, he said it’s no wonder it took time.

Calling it “money well spent,” Watson echoed Deans and Fraser, saying the new highway interchange will provide businesses with “quicker access to their markets.”

Identified as an important link between highways 417 and 416, the interchange was approved by city council as part of the 2008 transportation master plan.

The plan also included

extending Hunt Club Road, from Hawthorne to Russell Road.

Work began in October 2011, after the province promised in May 2011 to contribute $22 million in helping the city cover the price tag of the interchange and overpass.

The remaining $36-million price tag, which also covered the cost of the Hunt Club Road extension from Hawthorne Road to Russell Road, was funded through the Ottawa on the Move initiative, a $340-million pot of money set aside for transit, cycling and pedestrian networks, among other works throughout the city.

Race day gives back to people with dementia Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - More than a dozen men sit together in a circle, sipping apple or orange juice, and nibbling on cheese and crackers.

With a twinkle in his eye, Dave Price reads several headlines and advertisements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homeless man under house arrest,â&#x20AC;? the program staff member quips before reading the next joke on his list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One pair hardly used dentures. Only two teeth missing.â&#x20AC;?

An older gentleman doubles over laughing. Others chuckle or smile.

That is precisely the reaction Price was hoping for from the men, all of whom have early to moderate stages of dementia.

The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group is part of an adult day program offered through Ottawa-based not-for-profit Carefor Health & Community Services. The day program is the largest dementia service of its kind in the city. About 30 people access it

daily, six days a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would not have been able to create this without fundraised dollars,â&#x20AC;? Donna Deknatel, Carefor marketing and fundraising manager, said of the space, a former fire hall, where the participants gather for exercise, social interaction, a hot meal, and go home with a sense of accomplishment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important that we take care of our seniors and we just give back to the community.â&#x20AC;?

DONNA DEKNATEL, CAREFOR HEALTH & COMMUNITY SERVICES MARKETING AND FUNDRAISING MANAGER.

Fundraising also helps offset the cost of programming for participants, ensuring that more people can access the Nepean-based day program, that has drawn more than 320 participants within the past year, many of them from across the west end of the city

and Kanata.

This Saturday, Aug. 30, Team Carefor, comprised of staff, volunteers and family members of program participants, will rise early, lace up their sneakers and head to the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Park to once again volunteer, run or walk in morning three- and eight-kilometre walk/run races of The Canadian, organized by Somersault, which organizes a number of racing events throughout the year in the National Capital Region and eastern Ontario.

This year, Somersault, through The Canadian, will support three charities: Carefor, the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Bruyère Continuing Care, through the Bruyère Foundation, which provides palliative care, long-term care, rehabilitation and care of the elderly, among other services.

The morning walk and run event is Careforâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest fundraiser in Ottawa, which, over the past four years, has generated $43,500 for pro-

This year Team Carefor, which includes 54 volunteers and 30 race participants, has so far raised more than $19,500 thanks to pledges and sponsor support.

Race-day dollars will also allow more people to access Careforâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Get Together Club, allowing seniors living with depression to participate in a wide range of activities.

More people will also been given affordable access to Careforâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-bedroom respite guest house on the property of the Perley and Rideau Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Centre where people with early to middle-stage dementia can say overnight.

Dementia is on the rise; people are also being diagnosed earlier, said Cheryl Conway, Carefor adult day program supervisor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone can say they definitely know someone with dementia,â&#x20AC;? she said.

There is enormous demand in the community for dementia support, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a growing need so therefore we want to

make sure that access to our programs is not limited by the fact that people cannot afford to pay the co-payments,â&#x20AC;?

Deknatel said.

For that reason, Team Carefor is looking forward to raising crucial funds during The Canadian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important that we take care of our seniors and we just give back to the community,â&#x20AC;? she said.

RACE DAY

In addition to giving back to the community, The Canadian, a day-long multi-sport event which has been held annually at Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Park for more than 10 years, provides people with the chance to choose from a variety of races that can test their abilities, said race director Ian Fraser.

The Canadian is billed as Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Iron 226 triathlon and duathlon and includes several races varying in distance, including swim-cycle races, Olympic, sprint and super-sprint triathlons, a canoe

Fun day at the fair Excitement filled the air at Hydro Ottawa Special Needs Day. Hundreds of special guests with developmental and physical disabilities, as well as their caregivers and families, filed into the Rideau Carleton Raceway for an exclusive day at the Capital Fair on Thursday, Aug. 14. Hydro Ottawa Special Needs Day at the fair is a thrilling day for many who may not otherwise be able to enjoy a day at the fair. More than 30 Hydro Ottawa volunteers were on hand giving back to the community they serve. Whether they were grilling hot dogs for the hundreds of hungry fair-goers, lifting excited guests on and off midway rides or singing up a storm in the karaoke tent, these volunteers helped make the 14th annual event a success.

Kiwanis against cancer Representatives from the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Medical Foundation take a first look at the plaque standing in Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Park in recognition of their club’s $100,000 donation to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation to support local, ground-breaking cancer research. During a dedication ceremony on Aug. 20, the chair of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Medical Foundation, David Daubney, said that, while the club does not have deep pockets, “it feels so good to play this modest role in the work in advanced research here in Ottawa.” He added that the donation is the largest in the club’s history. After the ceremony, trustee for the medical foundation, Kanta Marwah, pledged another $1,000 to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Ema Lee Fashions: 11 years and counting

It was a hot June night in 2002 and everything was quiet in the small hamlet of Balderson. No one knew that in one house, there was a deal going down!

Two men sat facing each other at the kitchen table in Mr. George Myers’ home.

The conversation was quick and right to the point. Would Mr. Myers sell his old general store or not? That was the question.

The sun was going down. The clocks on his wall ticked to their own tock.

The silence had been broken. Finally a deal had been made on the back of a cigarette pack.

The transformation began on the old general store and eleven years later Ema Lee Fashions is still a thriving, successful business.

It is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 and open seven days a week.

Gerry McSweeney and Emily Desjardine had no idea that the business would become such a huge success. “We are known all over for being the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley and for being a destination shopping spot” Desjardine said.

“The store is also known for it’s plethora of ladies apparel, swim suits, purses and men’s shirts”.

No one knows the value of having everything at your fingertips better than arthritis sufferer Jim Caruk— Master Contractor, HGTV Host and Founder of Renos for Heroes. For 5 great years we’ve been helping Canadians like Jim who want easy access, better organization and increased space right in their existing cabinets.

Platinum Sponsor

STARTING AT $ Adjoining Ema Lee Fashions in the “Downtown Balderson Complex” you will find Balderson Fine Foods, well known for its homemade ice-cream and the Anne and Vanessa’s Bakery.

Adam’s theory: “Our philosophy is simple freshness is our commitment”. The Café is open from 10:00am to 5:00pm and the response from all of the customers has been extremely complimentary and positive.

Ottawa raises flag to mark pride week American embassy will also fly rainbow flag Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News – The rainbow colours made their way up the flag mast at city hall on Aug. 18 to mark Capital Pride, a week-long festival in the city.

Mayor Jim Watson noted it’s the second time in 2014 the rainbow flag has flown at city hall; the flag also flew during the Sochi Olympics.

“We have the power to foster that change at the local

level and the city has made it a priority,” he said. “How better to demonstrate that Ottawa is a city for everyone…but by raising the rainbow flag.”

Ottawa South MP John Fraser also spoke at the flag

raising, and said all the Liberal MPPs from the Ottawa area would be taking part in the pride parade.

Also in attendance was the U.S. ambassador to Canada, Bruce Heyman and his wife, Vicki. Heyman said the embassy will fly the rainbow flag for a month in support of the

parade marshal.

The embassy also brought Stephanie Battaglino, an activist for transgender issues and the corporate vice president at New York Life Insurance Company.

The pride parade was scheduled to run Aug. 24 along Bank Street.

The U.S. embassy is a community partner of Capital Pride week and sponsored two Americans to come to Ottawa.

Eagles Nest opens in Barrhaven Scoreboard set for 2015 Canadian Little League Championship Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Nepean Eagles little league club unveilled their new nest at South Nepean Park on Aug. 20.

The multi-purpose media building is integral for the successful hosting of the 2015 Canadian Little League Championship, said club president Bruce Campbell.

Bob Wilson, a volunteer with the club, said the building wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the community and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, as well as city staff.

The city and the province both put up $195,000 in 2012 for the new building, which will feature areas for media and scorekeepers to observe games on the two ball diamonds at the park, as well as two scoreboards and storage space for uniforms and field

equipment.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli said it was a good investment on the part of the province.

These new facilities will help showcase Ottawa’s strengths as a world-class sport and athletic venue...

JIM WATSON

“I remember when the Eagles played in the championships in Williamsport, we all watched at the Sportsplex,” he said, adding the community got a chance to celebrate the team making the finals during the 2013 championships as well.

“I think Ottawa has a certain brand to it,” he said.

“And the former city of Nepean has an important role to play in that brand. And there’s no better example of leadership than the East Nepean Little League.”

Mayor Jim Watson said 2015 will be the year of baseball in the capital with the creation of the Miracle League ball diamond for children with disabilities, as well as the Eagles hosting the 2015 championships and the inaugural season of Ottawa’s new Can-Am team the Champions.

He congratulated the club’s administration on the foresight and planning it took to win the bid to host the 2015 championships in Barrhaven and called the city’s investment a “no-brainer.”

“These new facilities will help showcase Ottawa’s strengths as a world-class sport and athletic venue, attract visitors and stimulate

Pet Adoptions

TYSON (A170390)

Tyson (A170390) is an intelligent pup looking for his lifelong human companion. Could that be you? This active pooch likes to spend his playtime chasing tennis balls and has a very affectionate and social disposition once he gets to know new friends. Tyson would love a home with a yard to roam around in and an owner who likes to exercise as much as he does!Tyson gets along well with laid-back dogs who respect his space. He would like to go to a forever home with older children or teens who are non-intrusive and can help with his walks.

For more information on Jake and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Psst! You May Not Have Heard...

Introducing Stanley (in the hat) and Peter Parker. Stanley is stubborn, and too smart for his own good. Peter Parker is goofy...and thinks he is a super hero!! They are both rescue dogs from Ottawa and have grown to be best friends and incredible companions to me.

Together they are loving, loyal and ludicrous.

I think they should both be Pet of the Week because they are a package deal!!!!

part or all of your United Way gift to animals in need? It’s simple! All you need is the OHS charitable number when you complete your pledge form.

More information about United Way directed gifts can be found at: http://ottawahumane.ca/gifts/ united_way.cfm.

My Event: Raising funds is so easy with My Event. Available on the OHS website, the feature allows you to send emails to your friends, family and other contacts to ask them to support you in raising funds. Gifts are processed at the OHS and receipts sent to you or your donor friend automagically by the OHS server! Some very special people have used My Event to solicit gifts to the animals in lieu of wedding or birthday gifts, or have asked to be sponsored in a run or other challenge.

My Events is at: http://www.ottawahumane.ca/ events/communityevents_myevent.cfm.

Pet Tributes Pets are now very much a part of our families and their loss can be as devastating. When someone close to you loses a beloved pet, knowing that you

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:

are thinking of them, and that your gift will help thousands of other pets, can be a consolation.

Some people find that raising funds in memory of their own lost pet to help so many was a healing project. It’s easy. OHS staff will send an e-note or paper note as you wish. All tributes can be accessed at: http://ottawahumane.ca/gifts/tribute_gifts.cfm.

Ottawa Humane Society BMO MasterCard The newly launched BMO OHS MasterCard is a simple way to rescue animals as you shop. A percentage of your spending will go to the animals as a part of the OHS affinity agreement with BMO and this new card. You can even use it for your next online gift to the animals! More information about the new OHS BMO MasterCard can be found at: http://ottawahumane.ca/BMO These are just a few of the ways that you can save lives and help the Ottawa Humane Society care for more than 10,000 animals that need our help and have nowhere else to go.

Thank you for all you do for Ottawa’s animals!

The Ottawa Humane Society has been saying for the past few years that their Pre-Authorized Withdrawal (PAW) program is the best way for the public to help the animals. Nothing has changed.

PAW remains a secure and easily managed way to help the more than 10,000 animals that need the OHS—and you— every single year. The costs with PAW are low, so a far larger percentage of each gift goes to the animals than with other ways of supporting the OHS. PAW may not be the way that you want to help the animals right now. Making a one-time gift online or by mail is the second best way to help the animals. Most know about the Wiggle Waggle Walkathon and the Run for the Animals, the FurBall and the Summer Harvest Garden Party and would participate if any were the right way for you to support the animals.

But there are a few ways to help the animals that you may not know about. Maybe some of these are right for you?

Bubble boy disease screening celebrates anniversary Staff

News - Newborn screening for bubble boy disease marked an anniversary this month at the regional children’s hospital in Ottawa, coinciding with a recently published study showing that twice as many newborns are affected by the disease than previously thought.

Since last August, Newborn Screening Ontario, which is based at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, has been screening newborns for severe combined immune deficiency (SCID), a deadly disorder often referred to as bubble boy disease.

The study, which was published on Aug. 20 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reveals that one in 58,000 newborns is affected by the deficiency, rather than one in 100,000, which was

previously thought.

“We are pleased to see a collaboration of this magnitude amongst our newborn screening colleagues in the U.S. as we complete our first full year of SCID screening,” Dr. Michael Geraghty, medical advisor for Newborn Screening Ontario, said in a statement.

“We have already identified and diagnosed some children with SCID, but it will be some time before we are able to determine its true prevalence in Ontario.”

Screening is crucial in diagnosing babies with this disease since there are typically no clues that an infant may have it, though their faulty immune systems make them more susceptible to recurring, lifethreatening infections within their first six months.

Ontario is the only jurisdiction in the country where every infant born is tested for the

genetic disorder, according to CHEO. Since the inception of the province-wide screening last year, Newborn Screening Ontario has used a new approach pioneered at CHEO to test more than 145,000 babies.

“At least one baby has been diagnosed with SCID and is receiving life-saving treatment,” the hospital said in a statement.

Prior to screening, babies who weren’t diagnosed in time could not benefit from treatment, which includes a bone marrow transplant.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories boy’s room and the hall, the slight breeze did little to cool it off. And when Auntie arrived, she went right upstairs like she owned the place, and put her tapestry bag on the chair and laid claim to the bed Audrey and I shared. We were doomed for the creton couch in the kitchen.

Apart from the narrowness of the couch, sleeping in the kitchen was not a hardship in the summer, because the Findlay Oval had already been moved to the summer kitchen, quilts hung on the windows in the daytime to keep the sun out, and the kitchen became the coolest room in the house. It was the narrow couch that was the bane of our existence.

Out in the summer kitchen was an old wire couch, the kind where one part sat on top

of the other when it wasn’t in use, but when pulled apart became a double bed. Moving the cook stove to the summer kitchen, left one wall bare, and Audrey asked Mother why the old wire couch couldn’t be moved into the regular kitchen for Audrey and me.

Mother hardly gave the idea a moment’s consideration (she was busy cooking dandelion greens, a favourite dish of Aunty’s), and said she saw no reason at all why the couch couldn’t be moved into the main kitchen. The boys could do that little chore when they came in for supper.

After Audrey and I had redded up the kitchen, the three brothers dragged the wire couch into the coolest room in the house, and we hauled in the thin felt fold-

over mattress. We didn’t even bother with sheets, so glad were we to have someplace to sleep other than the narrow creton couch, and a cool place at that.

The walls of that old house were paper thin. And before we fell asleep, Audrey and I heard Aunty get up several times to use the chamber pot, walk across the floor to the window, and let out long and purposeful sighs.

She also had the habit of talking to herself, almost whispers, but loud enough that we could hear her from our couch downstairs.

“Whew..hot...boy...whew,” we heard long into the night.

Every time I asked for something as simple as new hair ribbons and Mother reminded me there was a Depression on, and no money for frivolities, she called it character building. When Marguirite did something nasty to me, Mother called it character building. When my brother Emerson did me some dastardly deed, Mother called it character building.

I figured I had enough character building in the 1930s to last me into the next century.

Outfitting your children for going back to school Community - On top of all the necessities needed for school, buying new textbooks can be an added cost. Students can count on each other to save a significant amount money by turning to online classifieds such as Kijiji to buy, sell and even trade gently-used books. Here are some of the added benefits of going nearly-new when buying school textbooks: • If you only need a textbook for first semester, you could trade it online for a book you need for the second term • Going nearly-new when in school could be as simple as walking across your dorm to buy or sell books • Meeting up in convenient public spaces like the cafeteria on campus means it’s easy for you to be able to inspect the item before purchasing Also, remember to keep your books in good condition you never know who might need them, and it s an easy way to make some pocket money!

STUDENT LIVING IN STYLE

Living as a student usually means stretching your dollars as far as they can go. Between school fees, tuition, entertainment and food, there usually isn’t too much left over to deco-

rate a dorm room. However, creating a home away from home is easier than it seems.

Findings from a nation-wide survey* by Kijiji earlier this year show that 31 per cent of Canadians have sold a piece of furniture in the last year. Kijiji currently has over 11,500 items listed in its indoor home classifieds section for the Ottawa area.

Here are some helpful tips on how to stay stylish for less: • Add a splash of colour with a brightly coloured rug or throw cushions • Repurpose furniture – you’re probably tight on space as a student, so invest in a futon that acts as a couch and bed, or an ottoman that doubles as a desk and storage unit • Introduce a statement piece like an interesting painting or poster • Remember small accessories go a long way – add a pretty vase or candles as accent pieces • Be creative – consider different uses for furniture such as a bookcase for a shoe rack or small kitchen table as a desk • Kijiji Online Trading Survey 2014 BACK TO SCHOOL GADETS

Getting the gadgets you need for school is easier than it seems. With classes resuming

next month Kijiji, Canada’s largest classifieds site, is a great resource to use to find nearly new electronics to keep you connected and on top of school work. Kijiji currently has more than 8,000 electronics items listed for sale in the Ottawa area.

Knowing students are working with a limited budget, here are some helpful tips for buying those essential back-to-class gadgets online.

TOP FIVE TIPS FOR BUYING

• Shop around – Browse a variety of ads on Kijiji to get a sense of what’s available and to gauge the current market price. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you need more information before making a decision.

• Transact locally – When buying (or selling), you should meet in-person to see the product and exchange funds. Meet in a public place with many people around, such as a coffee shop.

• Deal in cash – When exchanging funds, deal in cash. Don’t send money, including mailing a cheque or using payment services.

• Test it out – When buying electronics, turn on the device and test any buttons and switches.

Use common sense – If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

TOP BACK TO SCHOOL GADGETS

• Laptop: Browse through the computer ads section and get a deal when you upgrade your personal computer • Smart phone: Stay in touch with Mom and Dad and on top of trends with a nearly new smartphone • Wireless keyboard: For when you’re doing more than watching movies on your tablet, having one of * these handy is a big help

News - The people behind a new downtown project are hoping to give at-risk and homeless youth something to sing about.

Partnering with the Kiwanas Music Festival, Operation Come Home has launched a new program for its transient and at-risk youth -- a choir.

“I think it’s pretty unique. I believe it’s the first of its kind in Ottawa,” said Elspeth McKay, Operation Come Home’s executive director.

Starting Sept. 12, young people are invited to visit Operation Come Home’s Gloucester Street location for the opportunity to sing in the choir.

“At Christmas parties they all sing their heads off,” Mckay said. “The youth always want to show off their talent, so this is the natural progres-

sion.”

Operation Come Home offers programs and services for more than 450 at-risk and homeless youth in Ottawa, in an effort to help them make positive changes in their lives. The idea to start a choir came from its former executive director, Kim Chadsey, now the associate executive director at the Kiwanis Music Festival.

“Going back to my background, working with Operation Come Home, I wanted to do something that promoted the study of music and help get a group of young people involved in music,” Chadsey said.

Turning the idea into reality, McKay said, took about nine months.

Chadsey added that when she began telling more people about the idea, she was encouraged to seek funding.

Those who join the choir will have a say in what they sing.

Aside from any potential performances downtown, the choir is booked to compete in the 2015 Kiwanas Music Festival, under the community choir’s category.

Chadsey said the added bonus of creating this choir will be to spread awareness to both the Kiwanas Music Festival and Operation Come Home.

“The study of music is amazing for your brain, self esteem and success for moving forward,” Chadsey said.

“Everyone has a voice. And it’s free. I thought as long as you love to sing, you can join and be a part of the choir.”

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks 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

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, exercise caution when expressing your needs. It can be difficult to stop when you are drumming up so much excitement. Now is not the time to take a risk.

Err on the side of caution with regard to spending this week, Libra.

You have to save up for a bigger purchase that’s on the horizon, so try to save as much as you can now.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, you may have overextended yourself this week. You didn’t realize you had taken on so much until it was too late, but there is still time to backtrack.

Scorpio, only now do you realize how much you have on your plate.

Think about postponing a getaway until your schedule is less packed and you can enjoy the trip even more.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, committing to a daily routine can have a strong impact on your overall health. Consider tailoring a new routine for yourself, and you’ll reap the healthy rewards.

Sagittarius, turn work into play and things will move along that much more quickly. Split up the tasks at hand with a friend or colleague, and the week will fly by.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Take things slow with a budding relationship this week, Cancer. You don’t want to go too fast and find yourself in over your head. Let things develop gradually.

Capricorn, even though you don’t have much time for yourself, you feel compelled to spend more time with others. Make some time for yourself as well.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, carefully consider any offer that seems too good to be true this week. While the person making the offer is not ill-intentioned, you still must exercise caution.

Aquarius, you secretly enjoy when others come to you for advice.

Think carefully before making any suggestions, and your friends will be more appreciative because of it.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Big ideas sweep in this week and leave you with a lot of inspiration, Virgo. Don’t get too lost in fantastical ideas, though. Wait a little bit before finalizing plans.

Now is the time to further your studies, Pisces. Figure out how to finance a return to school and make the most of the opportunity.
