News - Thousands of people lacing up their sneakers and flooding downtown Ottawa for the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend this May translated into a major economic boon for both the city and the province, according to results of an economic impact assessment released last week. The race weekend drew 2,500 volunteers and 47,387 participants in six races, generating $32.3 million in economic activity in the province, including $21.8 million in Ottawa. Overall, the race weekend contributed $14.8 million to Ontario’s gross domestic product. “This study confirms that the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is more than just a popular running destination; it’s a major economic driver for the region,� John Halvorsen, president and race director of Run Ottawa, which organizes the event, said in a statement. “This is due to our solid reputation as one of Canada’s most beautiful and best organized running events. We have our volunteers, sponsors and partners to thank for that.� The Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance’s findings, released Sept. 2, were based on results of an email
survey of 6,000 participants following the event. Of those who ran in or watched the races, 36,863 came from outside the National Capital Region, and 84 per cent spent one or more nights in the city. A similar economic assessment in 2012 found the event that year generated $27.8 million in the region. This year’s race featured the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon, the Scotiabank Half-Marathon, the Lowertown Brewery Ottawa 10-kilomtre run, as well as five- and two-kilometre races and the Scotiabank Kids Marathon. Registration for the 2015 event, which takes place May 23 and 24, 2015, opened Sept. 2. Almost 50,000 people are expected to take part. For details on the event or to register, visit runottawa.ca. BY THE NUMBERS:
• $14.4 million: spent by visitors, event sponsors and race organizers in the region. • $9 million: net economic activity for Ottawa, including $6.7 million in wages and salaries in support of 184 jobs. • $7 million: federal, provincial and municipal taxes gemerated.
Three firefighters and two civilians treated for injuries, medical conditions The fire ravaged the building at 275 Meadowlilly Rd, at the corner of White Alder Avenue, off Bank Street. He stayed late into the evening and watched with more than 1,000 local residents as about 60 firefighters from at least a dozen fire stations battled the structure fire with aerial ladders, high-powered water guns and other tools until the fire was finally brought under control at 8:41 p.m. – more than three hours after emergency responders were first called to the scene at 5:08 p.m. About 24 residents of the housing complex were displaced. Fire, smoke and water damage to the structure and contents of 12 units is estimated at about $4.2 million. Investigators with the Ottawa fire department and the Office of the Fire Marshal were on scene early Monday morning, Sept. 8, to try to determine the cause of the fire. The fire marshal investigator was called in because the dollar loss was more than $500,000. Paramedics treated two firefighters at the scene, one foran elevated blood pressure and another for facial injuries sustained from flying broken glass. A third was experiencing chest pains and had difficulty breathing and was taken to the General campus of The Ottawa Hospital for observation, said Ottawa paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier. A woman who apparently lived in one of the affected units was assessed on site after suffering a suspected anxiety attack. “And an elderly female who apparently (was) just staring at the fire ... started having some chest pains,” said Trottier, adding she also was taken to the

Bystanders watch as fire crews tackle a serious blaze at a housing complex in Findlay Creek last Sunday. Three firefighters and two civilians were treated by paramedics at the scene. Content loss and damages to the structure are estimated at $4.2 million. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. General. Earlier Sunday afternoon, Rashed, a council candidate, had been canvassing the neighbourhood and speaking with residents, when he knocked on the front door of one of the end units in the building. A woman answered, but she asked him to come back later because she was cooking something. Rashed moved on, but circled back after he heard shouting. His friend, who lives across the street, was mowing his lawn when he smelled smoke. He too heard the yelling and saw a woman, carrying a child in her arms, emerge from one
of the condos. After spotting the burning roof he called 911. Police were the first to arrive on scene. “The police officers didn’t even think about their lives. They just ran to the doors and banged on doors, yelling, ‘Get out! Get out!’ and the last door on the right there was no response so they were worried that maybe somebody was in there,” Rashed said, adding that the building owner eventually arrived and informed emergency responders the end unit had been vacant for at least a month. Rashed said he watched as flames moved along the rooftop and he could feel the heat
from where he was standing. “It was an oven there. The fire – it spread really fast.” All too quickly, the flames developed into an angry orange inferno. Plumes of thick black and grey smoke billowed from the top of the structure as firefighters aggressively attacked the blaze from all angles. When fire crews blasted the fire with high-powered jets of water, other firefighters were pulled out of the structure because of the risk of the roof collapsing, said Capt. Marc Messier, Ottawa fire department spokesman. “Once we get a good portion of the flames knocked down we’ll shut those nozzles down (and) let the crews back inside, and as crews go back inside (and) start opening walls and ceilings that’s when all those smoldering hot spots rekindle and flare back up,” he said. A firefighter managed to rescue a cat from one of the units, but the spooked animal later ran away. “In the end it was a really sad scene because a lady came by from work,” Rashed said. “She didn’t know her building was on fire so she collapsed on the floor and started crying. She was concerned about her cats.” A police officer tried to calm her down, and the woman’s relatives were called. Rashed and other residents in the area unsuccessfully tried to look for the runaway feline. Emergency crews, from paramedics to firefighters to police, worked seamlessly, said Rashed. The Red Cross was called in to help displaced residents and the Salvation Army provided support to fire crews. “Honestly, it just blows my mind sometimes how you see how everybody comes together,” he said.

Cyclist dies in crash during fifth-annual Ride the Rideau Bike ride event cut short after woman pronounced dead on scene Adam Kveton, Erin McCracken and Laura Mueller adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - Organizers of the Ride the Rideau fundraising bicycle ride say it’s too early to comment on the future of the event after a female participant died in a collision with a garbage truck during the fifthannual event on Sept. 6. The woman was identified by the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group as Laurie Strano, the centre’s director of quality, patient safety and risk management. Ottawa Hospital president and CEO Dr. Jack Kitts said Strano had participated in Ride the Rideau every year since the event started. The event, which raises millions for cancer research, was cut short Saturday as a precaution and to clear the area for police, according to a news release from the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. Police received a call about three minutes after 11 a.m. in relation to a crash between a cyclist and a BFI garbage truck on River Road just south of Doyle Road, said Insp. John Medeiros after arriving at the scene. Between seven and 10 people were witness to the collision, said Medeiros. At a news conference on Monday, Sept. 8, Kitts said a number of senior managers from the hos-

A ghost bike honours Laurie Strano, a 40-year-old cyclist who was killed during the Ride the Rideau fundraising event on River Road south of Manotick on Saturday, Sept. 6. pital were riding with Stranos and witnessed the crash. They and other witnesses are receiving support from the hospital’s social-work team, Kitts said. The rest of the more than 900 riders participating in the event were bused back to the Ernst and Young Centre on Uplands Drive where the race began. Ottawa police are continuing to investigate the collision and its causes. The collision was not a case of hit-and-run, said Medeiros, as the driver of the garbage truck remained at the scene, co-operating with police. A family member of the deceased cyclist came to the scene as well, he said. Strano was biking northbound on River Road when the collision occurred, said Medeiros.
The investigation will help inform any decisions about the future of the Ride the Rideau event or its route, Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, said during the news conference. “We are not in a position today to talk about any consideration around the future of the ride,” he said. Additional road closures will be part of those considerations, he added. The 85-kilometre route includes a number of road closures, particularly around the start of the course, and roads that are open to vehicular traffic. Kluke himself was participating in the event for the second time and said he felt safe during the ride, but noted some areas are “more challenging.”
“As a rider, you’re always concentrating,” he said. Another participant, Hayden Fraser, was not far behind when the collision took place. While he said he felt safe while sharing the road
with motorists, there were a couple of incidents in which he felt motorists didn’t leave enough distance between him and their vehicles. “There were some close calls,” Fraser said. “I never felt threatened at all by vehicles but there were instances where cars did pass (me) quite closely.” And from what he observed during the road race, cyclists were adhering to the rules that organizers of the event had set out before it got underway and riding as close as possible to the right edge of the road. At the beginning of the road race, participants cycled in packs along the roadway, but later spaced out and largely cycled single file, Fraser said. “I don’t think there was any more than two abreast at any stage,” he said Police had been contracted to work several intersections and re-direct vehicles for a portion of the ride as a safety measure, said Medeiros. However, police were contracted to work specific busy inter-
sections north of where the collision occurred. “So there wouldn’t have been any police security,” he said. Kluke outlined the safety measures race organizers put in place, including a number of ride guides who are experienced in the route and travel along with participants. Ride the Rideau organizers consult with the city and police when planning the route. River Road, where the collision occurred, has been part of the route since the event’s inception, said Danielle StAubin of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. While it was raining the morning of the ride, Kluke said a meteorological service hired by Ride the Rideau indicated the rain would dissipate as the morning progressed, so the ride wasn’t cancelled. This is the first time the Ride the Rideau event has seen a serious incident like this occur, said Stephanie Egan, communications manager for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

‘I realized it was time to pass the baton:’ River Ward councillor Coun. Maria McRae won’t seek re-election Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Coun. Maria McRae, who has represented River Ward for almost a decade, made a surprise announcement that she won’t run in the Oct. 27 municipal election. McRae announced she would step down after the term ofďŹ cially ends on Dec. 1 in an email note sent to residents on Friday, Oct. 5. She had not yet registered for the election, with the Sept. 12 deadline approaching. She is the sixth veteran councillor to announce she won’t seek re-election. McRae said she started thinking about stepping back from city council after Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume made a surprise announcement in August that he would not seek re-election. On a road trip to her hometown of Sudbury on Labour Day weekend, McRae had a lot of time to talk it over with her husband, Paul. She said she began to think of all her experiences and accomplishments in 11 years as a city councillor in a dif-

McRae said she has no intentions of slowing down and she hopes to ďŹ nd a new career - and volunteer work - that allow her to give back to the community. Eliminating the stigma associated with mental health is a passion for McRae.

advocate on the issue was cemented when she held fundraisers for Do It For Daron, a charity started by former Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson to raise awareness after his 14-year-old daughter, Daron, died by suicide in 2010. McRae said she was touched by the number of city employees who came to her ofďŹ ce to thank her for helping open up a conversation about mental health they never felt comfortable having. “They would come to my ofďŹ ce under the guise of buying a ticket and then close the door and say ‘My child suffers from this and I never felt I could come to work and talk about it,â€? McRae said. In terms of where her career takes her, McRae said she is open to anything and she didn’t shut down the possibility of re-appearing in the political scene. McRae, a lawyer, was ďŹ rst elected in 2003 after she was endorsed by the retiring councillor, Wendy Stewart. Prior to that, McRae worked as a legal consultant and taught at Algonquin College. McRae’s most notable role on city council in recent years has been as chairwoman of the new environment

committee, which was created by splitting environmental issues from the planning ďŹ le at the beginning of this term of council. She has stick-handled issues such as switching to biweekly garbage pick-up and ongoing negotiations with the proposed Plasco wasteto-energy facility. McRae initially called for an audit into the city’s greenbin recycling contract with Orgaworld, which eventually revealed this summer that city staff misled council with incomplete information that ended up costing taxpayers an additional $8 million. McRae was also at the forefront of calling for an investigation into the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge debacle. The structure, which is nearing completion in her ward, was plagued by a poor design and subpar construc-

tion and oversight that delayed the project and caused its budget to balloon to almost double the original estimate. In her note to residents, McRae touted the progress that has been made in her time on city council. While exercising ďŹ scal prudence in mind, we have renewed our infrastructure, expanded out community gathering places, grown Neighbourhood Watch and built new pedestrian and cycling facilities,â€? she wrote. McRae said she is also proud of supporting the Lansdowne Park redevelopment and tougher transparency policies for city council, as well as her work on housing and seniors’ issues. She also said she is appreciative of her city council colleagues and Mayor Jim Watson, whom she said “will lead our city into 2015.â€?

Good time to think big
D
oes each term of council need to pursue a defining civic project? If so, what would constitute such an endeavour? Recently, Coun. Jan Harder, who is running for re-election in Barrhaven Ward, said she intends to raise a new main library as “the next large, civic-purpose project that the city will move forward on� during the next term, if she gets her way. The main library is an obvious example of a significant civic project the city could pursue. A recent report presented to the library board indicated that even a major renovation of the current building would cost the city $75 million. At some point, the city will need a new flagship branch for the library system, so Harder’s suggestion would certainly fit the civic-project bill. What else could the city consider? Lansdowne Park, the most recent example of a major civic project, has already been revamped. LeBreton Flats is an eyesore on the face of the city, but its fate lies in the hands of the National Capital Commission. The Ottawa Baseball Stadium will see a minor face
lift, but council balked at providing a larger outlay to attract a high profile ball club to town. The expansion of Arts Court is a more recent example of a major civic project. Part of the problem with identifying a major civic project in Ottawa is that like LeBreton Flats, many of the civic spaces here are in the hands of the federal government. In addition, many of these capital city spaces serve as major civic sites – Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, for example. The federal government has the market cornered on civic spaces. This raises another question: does each term of council need to embark on a significant civic project? By identifying a new main library, Harder appears to be discounting something like the light rail project, a transit infrastructure project that could certainly qualify as a major city building project. Maybe Ottawa already has enough to occupy the next four years. If nothing else, Harder has raised an issue that deserves debate during the upcoming election, and provides food for thought for voters in Ottawa.

How can they stand all that traffic?
I
n Ottawa we have our little vexations, but for the most part it’s still a fairly convenient place to live. We complain about the traffic, but usually it doesn’t slow us down for more than five or 10 minutes. Toronto is a different story, as you know. A drive into the city on Labour Day gives you many additions to your list of reasons not to live there. Toronto on Labour Day? Well, a child’s birthday is involved. Anyway, the drive is to take place in the morning, so it won’t coincide with the mass migration from the cottage. No problem. One little thing, though, we are told, is to avoid the Gardiner Expressway, part of the usual route, because it’s the last day of the Canadian National Exhibition

of a single pylon in the right lane of a street can cause backups for many miles. Driving in, the 401 is fine and 680 reveals that traffic is moving well except at some unheard of street. It is also revealed that the Labour Day parade will be affecting downtown traffic. The parade route is available on our website, the announcer says. This is unhelpful and a bit scary, the scary part consisting of the thought that maybe some drivers are checking the website right now. We stay with the alternate route suggested by relatives, who then begin phoning with revisions. Too late we discover that the alternate route leads right into the parade at Queen Street.

Want to reduce stress? Unclutter
T
his summer I brought uncluttering to an entirely new level. Yes, I’ve written about uncluttering before. Yes, I’ve done it. But until now, I haven’t really been ruthless about it. In August, I created a vision statement for project: “I will get rid of half the contents of the house.” The nice thing about a vision statement is that you don’t actually have to achieve it. But you must always be working toward it. Why such a lofty goal? Well, a couple of things spurred me into action. In March, my middle child was diagnosed with a dust mite allergy. It requires keeping the house -- especially the child’s sleeping area – meticulously clean. No carpets, wrapped beds, no open shelving, no stuffed toys. The uncluttering process for my son was the catalyst
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse for the change. But it wasn’t until the summer – after many weeks of camping – that I realized more needed to be done. While camping, I felt so peaceful. At home, I felt stressed and anxious, even when there was nothing to truly be worried about. And all the kids seemed to do was fight. EVERY SURFACE
One evening as I glanced around our main floor, I realized that every surface – bookshelves, piano top, desktops, coffee tables, the
mantle – was cluttered. There wasn’t a single place in the room I could direct my eye. Everywhere I looked there were children’s toys and books, sheet music, crayons, tools, party dishes, sunglasses, socks, CDs and magazines. Without a thought, I grabbed two very large black contractor garbage bags. In one I started dumping paper recycling. In another I stowed away items for donation. Just like that, I transformed the space into a retreat. I was inspired. I decided if I could do the main floor so quickly, our basement surely
wouldn’t be too difficult to unclutter. Boy, was I wrong. The basement, after all, is home to the toy cupboard, the storage cupboard and seasonal things like boots and snowsuits. If I was going to make a dent, I would have to be ruthless. The first thing to go was the sofa, which has always been too big for the space. I then sold a bookshelf and an old kitchen table. Twenty contractor bags of toy, book and trinket donations later, the space was completely empty and the storage cupboard trimmed down with everything in matching, clear storage bins. (No labels required). My gut instinct was to fill it up again – a new, smaller sofa, I decided. But my husband put the brakes on that idea. “Let’s leave it empty for now,” he said. “Let’s see what empty feels like.” You know what? It felt
great. The kids could take their toys out individually from the storage cupboard and put them away when they were done. They could dance on the carpet. They could even play miniature hockey down there. I really thought we’d finally made it. And then my cousin called: “Can I rent a room from you for a semester?” We decided to renovate my office for him – it needed to be reinsulated anyway. But first, it had to be emptied – floor-to-ceiling shelves, storage closet, filing cabinets. I had no idea how much stuff one could store in a single room. Three weeks later, we have successfully emptied and renovated the room, sorted through 90 per cent of its contents and, in the process rid ourselves of 20 more contractor bags of recycling and donations. The only problem? The last 10 per cent is now in the basement.
Despite ruthlessly discarding children’s artwork, diaries, work notes and decadesold tax documents, there is a week’s worth of sorting to be done before I get anywhere close to emptying the basement again. As a professional organizer told me recently, “the last 10 per cent takes 90 per cent of the energy.” But it will get done. I have realized that owning things requires a level of space and responsibility that I don’t have and don’t want. Clean lines, empty shelves and open floor space have made all of us feel less stressed. The children argue less in an empty room. They play more because without the clutter, they can find the toys and books they really want. As for me, I’m spending most evenings in the living room chair, looking at the clean surfaces, breathing deeply, and dreaming of an empty basement.

News - Students at an elementary school in the Hunt Club Park neighbourhood were evacuated earlier this week after a small fire broke out in the school’s unoccupied daycare. Firefighters from several fire stations responded to St. Thomas More Catholic elementary school at 1620 Blohm Dr. at 12:19 p.m. on Sept. 8. “When crews arrived all of the students were already evacuated,” Capt. Marc Messier, Ottawa fire department spokesman, said at the scene. No one was injured in the incident. “We were informed that the daycare was not being used at the time and that there was nobody in the daycare’s kitchen when the fire broke out. “It looks like they were getting ready to move in or move out.

though the fire was small it created a lot of smoke. The fire was put out at 12:32 p.m. Firefighters worked to ventilate smoke from the daycare and the front foyer of the school. Students were allowed back in the building at 1 p.m.

#ELEBRATING OVER YEARS Ken Blackburn’s Canterbury Taekwondo: Choosing the Right School for the Right Reasons It’s a familiar feeling: you’ve decided you want to try something new, maybe look for a sport that might interest your kids. You’ve been curious about martial arts – we’ve all known someone who’s taken it up – and think you’re ready to give it a try. But which martial art? And where should you train? Narrowing down these choices is no easy task. Why taekwondo? Taekwondo is the Korean martial art that combines self-defence with sport and exercise. With an emphasis on kicking techniques, taekwondo develops speed, strength, flexibility, stamina, and sharpens mental and physical discipline. This ancient art enjoys an international membership, with over 30 million practitioners actively training worldwide, and this popularity is for good reason. According to Master Ken Blackburn, founder of Canterbury Taekwondo, “This martial art is fun to learn. It’s especially popular with kids because they have such a good time learning it. The techniques that I teach in kicking, blocking and striking allow you to achieve speed and precision quickly, and it gets you in shape fast!” Beyond the fun students have learning this Olympic sport, they also have the benefit of seeing their work pay off quickly. Master Ken notes that “You start seeing success early when you train in taekwondo; you learn elements of the sport in increments, and you get an increasing sense of accomplishment at each step.” More than any other individual or team sport, this sense of accomplishment boosts confidence and selfesteem. The focus and concentration that are developed throughout training provide skill-sets that serve students in other academic and social facets of their lives. Why Master Ken and Canterbury Taekwondo? What people discover is that you can train anywhere, but there can be a world of difference between one instructor and the next, and often that difference will determine whether you are interested and engaged. Under Master Ken’s direction, taekwondo is considered the vehicle for the personal and physical
development of each student that martial arts training should imbue: self-confidence, respect for self and others, self-esteem, discipline, and physical fitness and well-being. With over 30 years’ experience teaching, Master Ken is able to develop an individual learning plan for each of his students to guide them on their journey. With an extensive understanding of martial arts technique and years of teaching experience, each plan is tailored to the needs of each student, and is driven by what that student hopes to achieve: “Martial arts has enriched my life and the lives of all my students. I believe that in the martial arts, you are first and foremost an artist, not necessarily a fighter. As an instructor, my primary purpose s to help students develop skills that enhance their strengths and help overcome their limitations.” As the principal instructor at Canterbury Taekwondo, each student enjoys first hand instruction from Master Ken and benefits directly from his years of knowledge and experience. Master Ken has trained under some of the very best martial artists in the world – including several world champions – an experience which has enriched what he brings to his school. He often uses his journey of learning in the martial arts as a means of motivating and challenging his students. His ability to inspire those he teaches cannot be easily duplicated by others. Master Ken is committed to continually increasing his own knowledge and skills by actively training so that his students receive the benefit of world-class knowledge and a dedicated master of martial arts. He celebrates over 20 years as a premier teacher and has recently received his Song Moo Kwang 6th Dan Black Belt, an exceptional and esteemed achievement. The founder of the Korean Tigers Demonstration Team, the undisputed champions of the sport, presented Master Ken with this recognition during their first trip to Canada. Master Ken has spent many years establishing and refining a structured curriculum that is designed for the specific learning needs of each age group. His dedicated children’s program, Little Leopards, has been the springboard for many students on their journey to not only achieving black belt status, but to achieving greater success at home and at school. It is well-known throughout the city of Ottawa as one of the premier children’s martial arts programs. This recognition, according to Master Ken, is due to the respect and dignity he gives each of his students, no matter what their age, skill level, or desire. “There is a substantial number of students that are still actively training at the school 5-10 years after starting, which I believe is in part due to the welcoming environment at the school. Maintaining that environment is
a priority for me. When you join, you don’t just join the school; you become part of the family.” Through his tutelage, countless students have mastered challenges, developed leadership and teamwork skills, and most importantly, realized their goals in the martial arts. As an integral part of the community for many years, Master Ken has had the privilege of serving generations of families. Much more than simply a place to learn how to kick and punch, Canterbury Taekwondo is an inclusive institution, open to all ages and abilities. It offers a wide variety of classes, serving children as young as 3 all the way up to senior adults in several different disciplines. Master Ken also offers the region’s only official program in Hapkido, the Korean martial art of self-defence. This season, Canterbury Taekwondo is offering a 2-month unlimited class program for only $99, which includes complimentary uniforms for Taekwondo students. Conveniently located at 2784B Lancaster Road (near Walkley Road), a variety of amazing classes are offered Monday through Thursday and on Saturdays. New students are always welcome, and prospective students are invited to try a class without charge to find out if training in the martial arts is for them – though few people leave after just one session! As Master Ken says, “the first step on a journey to excellence is almost always the hardest. I took that step over 30 years ago when I put on a white belt and walked onto the training floor. Each stage of my journey has been more rewarding than the last, and I’m always looking forward to the next challenge.” You can take your first step by contacting Master Ken – visit www. canterburytaekwondo.com, or call 613-897-5425 for more information.

All-candidates’ forum going high-tech to boost engagement Six Gloucester-South Nepean candidates to take centre stage at town-hall meeting Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
New - Technology may play a starring role in an allcandidates’ forum that will bring together eligible voters and the Gloucester-South Nepean Ward hopefuls campaigning to represent them on Ottawa city council. Organizers are hoping to live stream the Sept. 25 event over the Internet, as well as pass along questions to candidates from users of Twitter, a popular social-media platform. “I think the whole notion of everyone has to get together all the time to do these types
of (forums) is somewhat of an antiquated notion,� said Chris Hill, forum moderator and president of Riverside South Community Association, which is organizing the event. “There’s other mediums, and more so now than ever as the younger kids are getting older and becoming more engaged in civic affairs, we’ve got to look to better ways to engage this group because they’re not the people that come to town halls and line up to the microphones – they tweet,� he said. Attendance at the association’s annual general meetings in the past has been low, reinforcing the need to seek out innovative ways to connect with more people. If the use of technology at the forum is successful, the association plans to use these tools at its November annual general meeting.
“I don’t think it’s because people don’t care or are not engaged,� said Hill. “I think it’s because they lead very busy lives, and so you’ve got to do one of two things: you can continue to do the same thing and wonder if people

traditional elements, such as opening and closing remarks from candidates, and questions will be taken from the oor. Residents are also invited to submit questions in advance via the community association’s website.
Topics will include transit, garbage and recycling pickup, parks and recreational services, management of city ďŹ nances and environmental issues. It is important to blend tradition with technology in order to maximize participation, Hill said. Voter turnout in Ottawa has been low (in 2010, 44 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots compared to 54 per cent in 2006 and 33 per cent in 2003), but technology could help turn that around, Hill said. The voting process itself also needs to evolve, and the addition of electronic voting could make all the difference, he said, adding that “the notion of pens and papers and voting booths is antiquated as well.â€? Some people believe that if people don’t care or take the time to educate themselves
on candidates’ platforms then they don’t deserve to vote, Hill said, but added this perception won’t change the situation. “Whereas our approach, I think, will translate into a greater voter turnout because people who would not have historically engaged in the process may chose – they won’t all – but they may choose to engage in the process and learn a little bit more, and may in fact have an opinion on things that are happening in our community, and may in fact want to have a voice in terms of how the future is shaped.� The forum will take place Sept. 25, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the gym of the Rideauview Community Centre, located at 4310 Shoreline Dr., near Spratt Road.

Women invited to sing at new afternoon choir News members, all vocal abilities welcome
“A lot of women were quite scarred by (the experience of not being allowed to sing in public choirs) and have never sung,” said Greig, who manages all 17 choirs in Ontario, and directs an afternoon choir in Kingston. The first Shout Sister! Choir began about 13 years ago after a vocal coach in Kingston saw Whoopi Goldberg’s film Sister Act, which features Catholic nuns shirking the rules and belting out songs they love and moving to the music with abandon. There was just one hitch to Georgette Fry’s dream. The Juno-nominated professional jazz-and-blues singer couldn’t read music. She still can’t, but it turns out it didn’t matter. With the encouragement of her private vocal students, Fry held inaugural choir rehearsals, during which almost 200 women showed up over two nights. “It was huge,” Greig said. Shout Sister! Choir came to

News - Nancy Greig will never forget the day an older woman marched into the choir rehearsal room ready to sing her heart out. “She came up the stairs, just full of determination and she said, ‘I’m 60 years old. I’ve been told all my life not to sing and I’m going to sing.’” Greig said. “And she loves it. She’s having a ball.” The woman’s experience is sadly not unique, reason why Shout Sister! community choirs with hundreds of female members have sprung up across Ontario. A third Ottawa choir launched in Alta Vista on Sept. 10.

Members of two Shout Sister! Choirs based downtown and in west Ottawa perform during a concert last year. A new afternoon choir recently launched in south Ottawa at Rideau Park United Church. New members are welcome to attend, and auditioning is not required. Ottawa five years ago; a second was formed a year later. Combined, there are 180 members – one group rehearses at Woodroffe United Church on Thursday evenings, while the other group practices at St.

Barnabas, Apostle and Martyr Anglican Church on Kent Street on Tuesday nights. “We combine the two choirs for the year-end concert and when we get together, I think last year there were 110 voic-
es,” said Vanier resident Jody Benjamin, who directs the Ottawa choirs. “It sounds fantastic.” She is also directing the new afternoon choir at Rideau Park United Church every Wednes-
day. It will be a busy year filled with weekly rehearsals, a few performances at nursing homes and a year-end charity concert. See CHOIR, page 17

River Ward City Councillor Conseillère, quartier Rivière
Dear River Ward Friends and Neighbours: Since I was first elected in 2003, it has been an honour and privilege to serve you and the residents of our great city as a member of Ottawa City Council representing River Ward. Together we have made huge progress in River Ward and in Canada’s Capital. While exercising fiscal prudence, we have renewed our infrastructure, expanded our community gathering places, grown Neighbourhood Watch, and built new pedestrian and cycling facilities. I am proud of our rejuvenated Lansdowne and our work on housing and seniors’ issues, and our Council has passed some of the toughest transparency and accountability policies in the country. In working with our Federal and Provincial partners we have built a landmark Convention Centre, began construction on Light Rail Transit and have made clean-up of the Ottawa River a top priority. As proud as I am to be the City Councillor for River Ward, after thoughtful consideration with my family, I will not be seeking re-election. This was a very difficult decision. Being a City Councillor is an extraordinary and rewarding job and I have enjoyed every day as your representative. I will especially miss serving River Ward constituents daily, but you are my friends and neighbours and I intend to stay involved in our community.
Choir auditions not required Continued from page 16
I have full confidence in Mayor Jim Watson to lead our city into 2015 and it has been my great pleasure to work with him. I am appreciative of my City Council colleagues and I wish the next term of Council all the very best. Thank you to everyone who has played a role in this journey, including my family and friends, staff, volunteers, and supporters. I am grateful for the hard work and dedication of City staff, whose tireless efforts help build this great city. I am especially grateful to my husband Paul who is always by my side and whose support has allowed me to best serve you, and I am thankful to my parents, Michael and Gail, who have inspired my passion for community service. Thank you River Ward for placing your trust and faith in me and for allowing me to serve as your City Councillor. It remains a humbling honour and a privilege being your strong voice at City Hall and I will continue to serve you dutifully and energetically for the remainder of the term. After December 1st, my husband Paul and I are looking forward to our next adventure and to new challenges with gratitude. This job has allowed me to make enduring friendships and to make a difference, and I will forever hold this time dear to my heart.

Members of two all-female Ottawa Shout Sister! Choirs perform during a concert. A new afternoon choir has formed and members with a variety of talents are welcome to attend rehearsals at any time. No auditions are required.
“‘We’re all about love, peace and understanding – and singing.’ That’s what Georgette says,” said Greig, who was Fry’s personal manager for years. The choirs welcome all women and every level of talent. There are no auditions, participants don’t have to know how to read music, and they can move to the music. “We encourage them to loosen up and dance around and move and do however they feel,” said Benjamin. “A lot of choirs are pretty formal and they expect you to be at practice and you get heck if you miss. You’re told how to stand and what to wear and how to smile and all that stuff, and this one is none of that.” Members can become familiar with the song selections by listening to pre-recorded tracks on the Shout Sister! website. “Learn it like you’ve always learned the songs on the radio,” said Greig.
The new afternoon choir provides options to women who are home during the day or those who don’t like to drive at night, Benjamin said. The added benefit of joining is the friendships that form. “We’ll finish a song at rehearsal and the room will just erupt in all this conversation,” she said. “I really kind of enjoy that so I let them talk for a while. I don’t want it to be that they’re standing there silent all the time.” The goal is to make the choirs as inclusive as possible for members, especially older women who were told as children they weren’t talented enough to sing in church or school choirs. “I had that same thing too. I never thought I could sing,” said Benjamin, who today performs with the Ball and Chain band, which plays old-time country and Cajun music. Fry’s mother was told by the nuns not to sing, and the Shout Sister! founder never heard her mother’s vocal abilities until she was in her 60s.
“The whole philosophy of the Shout Sister! Choir is community and fun and inclusiveness,” said Greig, adding that rehearsals are an opportunity for women to express themselves without fear of censure. “The only real rule is you have to be nice to each other, so you’re not allowed to criticize anyone,” she said. Those interested in attending a rehearsal can participate the first time for free. Membership fees are prorated if participants join later in the session. Members can join at any time. The cost is $140 for each of the two five-month sessions per year. New members pay an additional one-time $20 set-up fee. ` Rehearsals in south Ottawa take place every Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Rideau Park United Church, located at 2203 Alta Vista Dr. in the Brackenridge room. To join or for details, visit shoutsisterchoir.ca, or email members@shoutsister choir.ca.

A person may remember who they went to school with years ago, as well as old friends, but not what they ate for breakfast or even where they are
driving. “It sometimes looks like forgetfulness around immediate things,” said Beverlee McIntosh, volunteer health committee convener with the Ottawa Council of Women, which is hosting an upcoming free public lecture on dementia. Dr. Andrew Frank, a cognitive and behavioural neurologist and medical director of the Bruyère Memory Clinic at the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital in Ottawa will speak about available treatment and medical care for those with dementia, as well as signs and symptoms, among other issues, during a Sept. 16 presentation in Alta Vista. Dementia refers to several different brain disorders, according to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, and describes a host of symptoms, including impaired memory, judgment and reasoning, which can become severe enough to impact a person’s day-today life. See MORE, page 19
More people living longer means more people diagnosed with dementia Continued from page 18
More people than ever have various stages of dementia or know someone who does because people are living longer, said McIntosh, who worked for 25 years in geriatric care as a social worker before she retired. The topic is a timely issue, reason why the Ottawa Council of Women, a coalition of about 15 organizations, wanted to host the educational event, said McIntosh. The council chapter is part of a 125-year-old national council which advocates for women’s issues. “The medical doctors used
to say that if you live long enough you’re probably going to get dementia, but some people are going to get diagnosed earlier,” she said, adding that some are diagnosed in their 50s and 60s. “It’s not that dementia is increasing, it’s that more people are living longer,” said McIntosh, who, in her role as a social worker, helped many families and patients come to terms with a dementia diagnosis, working with them to determine next steps, such as deciding on long-term care and beginning estate planning. There are many different types of dementia. Many are familiar with Al-
zheimer’s, but different parts of the brain can be affected by different types of dementia, including frontal temporal dementia, which impacts language. There is also vascular dementia, which is characterized by little strokes in the brain that affect brain function, McIntosh said. Some people with dementia may appear to be functioning well. “That’s often why it was hard to diagnose,” McIntosh said, but while they may still appear to be doing OK, even make their own meals, upon closer inspection the food in the fridge may be rotting, the bills may be unpaid and they
may be letting in strangers to the home. Testing for dementia years ago was very basic compared to today’s sophisticated assessments, which allow more people to be diagnosed – and
once did. It might be dementia, but it might be something else, and that’s why the upcoming presentation will prove useful, McIntosh said. “It’s a complex diagnosis,” the Hintonburg resident said.

helped – sooner, she said. Often, families suspect something has changed – their loved one may be more irritable or depressed, they might not want to go out anymore or enjoy doing the things they
The upcoming talk is designed to educate people given the complexities of the condition. “I think that they’re going to come away better informed, or they may come away a little bit
relieved,” she said. “They will come away with more information that will help them to make better decisions about whether they should proceed and get more medical advice and referrals.” The public lecture, ‘What is normal, and what is dementia?’ takes place on Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. at Rideau Park United Church, at the corner of Alta Vista Drive and Cunningham Avenue. Admission is free, and while pre-registration is not required, it is appreciated for planning purposes. To register, email ottawacouncilofwomen@ gmail.com or leave a message by calling 613-728-9770.

Tea and toast popular but inadequate: support worker Resource centre seeks seniors, disabled adults for Meals on Wheels service Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Seeking new clients for Meals on Wheels Continued from page 20
“A lot of seniors will eat toast for dinner because they’re not hungry. They don’t feel like making something, so (they think) just the toast and coffee is okay,� said Annie Parisien, community support worker and co-ordinator of the resource centre’s Meals on Wheels program. The non-profit organization has

found itself in the unique position of having enough volunteer drivers to deliver fresh meals as part of its meal delivery program in south Ottawa, but not enough clients to serve in this part of the city. But Parisien believes there are many disabled adults and seniors 65 and over who are in need and would benefit by receiving a nutritional boost. “With the meals they are ensured a proper amount of protein and vegetables so it can help them stay healthy,� she said. “It can help them recuperate from an illness faster.�
She currently has four volunteers who are able to deliver meals to up to 10 people a week in the area. Through the program, clients can order any number of fresh meals that can be delivered up to five days a week. “Sometimes our clients will order two meals on the Friday so they can have it on the Saturday,� said Parisien, adding that people also often purchase frozen meals, which are delivered every two weeks, and warm them up on the weekend, when the meal delivery service is not available. Fresh meals cost $6 each and include soup, a main course, dessert, a juice and a muffin. Clients can choose to order frozen meals for $5.50, and add soups and desserts for an extra $2, or pay $7.25 for a gourmet meal selection. Some of the cost of the meals helps the resource centre offset the expense of volunteers’ mileage. As part of its mandate, the nonprofit not only helps people access nutritional food through Meals on Wheels, but also gives Parisien and her volunteers the opportunity to regularly connect with clients, some of whom may be living in isolation or have limited mobility. “It can be kind of a check in so if the client’s not home and I can’t reach anyone then it creates a concern, and I’ve called the police before,� the Vanier resident said, referring to a client who wasn’t home to receive a meal on one occasion. After police arrived, it was discov-

ered the individual was in the hospital. Parisien can also connect clients to different services provided by external agencies, in addition to a range of social and community programs the resource centre provides, such as crisis intervention. In reaching out to people and helping them access fresh food, Parisien knows that many people struggle to cook for themselves. Some don’t have the physical strength or stamina, others can’t get out to the grocery store, or if they can they may not have help to shop, said Parisien, adding that others have lost a spouse and find it difficult to cook for one. “That happens a lot too, especially with men,� she said. “If their wife used to make the meals then sometimes the men never learned to cook, so that’s what they’ll do, they’ll have tea and toast and little things.� That worries Parisien. “It’s all about quality of life and if you don’t have the right nutrition, then you don’t have the right energy

Number of youth seeking mental help soars CHEO, Royal report huge increase in emergency visits Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Children and youth in the Ottawa area are increasingly seeking professional help for mental health issues, according to a mental health report card released last week. Visits to the emergency departments at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre have risen substantially in recent years, according to the report. Ad-
missions were up by 2,900 visits this year over last, and are 78 per cent higher than in 2009/2010. The largest increases were seen in 16-18 year-olds seeking help for anxiety, psychosis, substance abuse and suicidal thoughts. While these numbers sound alarming, there is reason to believe they are proof of more of more young people heeding the growing call to seek help – an act that was once mired in stigma. “We don’t think this is proof
of a dramatic increase in the occurrence of mental health in youth, but we do think more young people today are feeling OK in the choice to seek help,â€? said Karen Tataryn, director of mental health at CHEO and regional director for specialized children and youth services at CHEO and the Royal. “Obviously, there are conversations that can take place about new stresses that children and youth are experiencing, including bulling ‌ We don’t have the data right now
to know whether the occurrence of these issues is increasing.� Tataryn said that in the last few years, dialogue and awareness surrounding youth mental health and suicide has increased greatly, especially in Ottawa. She alluded to the aftermath of the highprofile deaths of teens Daron
Between 12 and 15 weeks into the program there’s a marked decrease in their symptoms KAREN TATARYN
Richardson and Jamie Hubley, launched the issue to the forefront of the public’s consciousness. “The courage and bravery of their parents ‌ has been successful, in that people are now seeking help,â€? said Tataryn. Both CHEO and the Royal are countering the growing tide of distressed youth looking for help through tailored programming that give young people and their families tools to deal with their situation. Taking a citywide approach, both hospitals have teamed up with community partners such as Ottawa Public Health and the Youth Services Bureau
- in creating their programs. In April, 2013, all four entities launched the Bridges program, an intensive treatment program for high-risk teens who have been involved with inpatient and crisis services. Funding was also sourced from the Champlain Local Health Improvement Network. “It’s an individualized ap-
proach,� said Tataryn said of Bridges. “When a patient is discharged from the hospital, we thought it would be beneficial to have a few days a week of therapy.� A body of psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists and youth counsellors is on hand to provide oneon-one or group counselling, where the youth and medical professional work to develop strategies to manage stress. “We’ve seen good outcomes in our first year,� said Tataryn. “Between 12 and 15 weeks into the program there’s a marked decrease in their symptoms.� Recently, CHEO and the
Royal began offering dialectical behavior therapy for that same group of high-risk youth, while helping their parents and caregivers understand the issues faced by their youth. Earlier this year, the Royal launched its HealthyMinds mental wellness app to help teens deal with stresses and mental health issues. E-consultations between mental health specialists and MDs can be now be arranged to bring better care to young patients who sought out their family doctor for help. Numerous other programs and initiatives offered by the city’s mental health providers aim to reduce the harm that comes from mental health issues in youth. The strategy, said Tataryn, is to ensure that there is help available for all youth in all situations. Making sure those already in a crisis recover fully, while preventing other illnesses from progressing, are among the keys to addressing the issue. A full list of youth mental health resources is available online at ementalhealth. ca, while important links are also included on the websites of both CHEO and the Royal. Schools and resource centres have been stocked with this information, to ensure it is at hand whenever, and wherever, a child needs it.

The Canadian Museum of Nature announces it will host a series of brunch events starting this fall.
Seasonal Sunday brunches start at Museum of Nature Staff
News - The Canadian Museum of Nature has announced it will be serving up a new kind of event series this fall. The museum announced it will host a Nature Brunch series on Sundays in 2014 and 2015, stating it’s a new way to promote both delicious local and exotic dishes, coupled with the opportunity to explore the museum’s many exhibitions. The brunches will be served as a buffet, with an assortment of meats, salads, cheese, pastries, deserts and local harvest. During the holiday seasons,
there will be specialties from different cultures. A total of eight brunches will be offered. The first brunch was planned to take place on Grandparent’s Day, Sept. 7. The other scheduled dates are Oct. 12 for Thanksgiving, a multicultural holiday brunch on Dec. 14, a Valentine’s Daythemed brunch on Feb. 15, a Canadian sugar bush brunch on March 22, a sampling of Arctic foods on April 26, a Mother’s Day brunch on May 10 and a Father’s Day brunch on June 21. The menus will be developed by chef William Carter
of Gourmet Cuisine. “The themes reflect different cultures, holidays and traditions,” said Meg Beckel, the museum’s president. “For our Arctic festival, chef Carter, who has lived in the North, will share his experience by preparing an Arctic buffet of appetizing dishes that most people have likely never tasted before.” Prices will include museum admission. People are encouraged to check out the museum’s exhibitions after the food. Brunch will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ash borer now killing city’s woodlots Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - When Melody Andeel heard the whir of saws behind her Orléans home a couple weeks ago, she already knew what was coming. When she went down to check it out, “it looked like a tornado went through,” Andeel said.
Like so many areas across the city, Terry Fox Participark behind Andeel’s home was decimated by the emerald ash borer – a stubborn invasive beetle that is destroying urban trees across the city. It’s now made its way into woodlots, said David Barkley, the city’s forester. “What’s not known right now is what will happen with
the woodlots,” Barkley said. “They are different than street trees.” In the woodlot behind Andeel’s Priory Lane home, workers told her an estimated 2,500 trees of all types and sizes were being removed in the process of cutting down the large ashes. See TREES, page 29

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!
Barkley said. Deeper into the woodlots, they’ll “let Mother Nature take its course,” he said. Woodlot ash removal is still “small scale,” Barkley said. There will be many more sites where trees will need to be removed next year, he said. There are between six to 10 crews, each with between two to four workers, out removing trees at any given time, Barkley said. So far, they’ve been able to keep up with the
demand, even if it takes up to six months to get around to all the trees that need removing. That amount of intervening time doesn’t create a safety risk for falling trees, Barkley said. Ash trees can die in as little as a year after being infected, but it usually takes two to three years. The cost to remove each tree is $365. The city is trying to save and protect around 3,000 ash trees by injecting them with TreeAzin, a biological insecticide that can combat the ruthless beetles. The NCC says it has inoculated 200 trees since 2009. Tree Canada recently announced a donation of 30 litres of TreeAzin to be used to protect NCC trees in Leamy Lake Park and other urban parks in Ottawa and Gatineau. Canadian Forestry Services has another weapon it’s testing out in the fight against the emerald ash borer: wasps. The federal agency has worked with a number of municipalities – including Ottawa – to release the wasps, a non-native species that feeds on the beetles. The insects have been released multiple times in the same location, a process that involves introducing a piece of wood that contains the beetles along with the wasps so they have a feeding source, Barkley said. It’s too soon to tell how well that strategy is working, Barkley said. The emerald ash borer population will be monitored over the next few years before any conclusions can be drawn about its effectiveness. In the long term, Barkley said no one is sure what the ongoing impact on ash trees will be. It’s possible there will always be cycles of regeneration of ash trees, followed by a resurgence of the beetles, creating a neverending cycle.
R0012883629
“It’s a really rude awakening,” she said. Andeel knew about the emerald ash borer and how it burrows feeding galleries for larva under the bark of ash trees, preventing the tree from absorbing nutrients – something that will inevitably kill it. But others in her condo corporation hadn’t heard of the ruthless insect and the complete devastation it is expected to bring to the city’s trees. By the time the infestation has run its course – in an estimated 10 years – the city estimates around 75,000 ashes will be lost, representing 25 per cent of the tree cover in the city. As of this June, more than 4,400 trees had been removed in the city – mostly ash. Dutch elm disease is still claiming some trees, too according to the city. The National Capital Commission, which owns many of the city’s open spaces, including the Greenbelt, says it has cut down 1,000 dead ash trees on both sides of the Ottawa River this year. That’s the same number as the total number of trees that had been removed in the three previous years. In total, the NCC has identified 7,000 dead ash trees on its land, many of which have not been removed. On Priory Lane, that means sun – lots of it – where there used to be shade, countless stumps as far as the eye can see and branches strewn throughout a pathway that was a 1.5metre wide footpath with a fresh layer of stone dust, and is now a wide, churned up road. “I’ll never live long enough to see it in its former glory,” Andeel said. Trees will be replanted next spring as part of the city’s ongoing program to replace the
lost ashes. In 2014, the city will spend $1.175 million to plant 110,000 new trees. The NCC said it’s too early to say how many trees it will replant this year, but the Crown corporation is following its emerald ash borer management strategy to ensure dying ash trees don’t pose a risk to public safety. The city will have to deal with more and more situations like the one in Orléans. The priority right now is to remove dead trees along pathways and parkland where they may become unsafe and put people at risk,

The Ottawa 67’s opened their pre-season schedule at the Nepean Sportsplex on Sept. 6 with a 4-3 win in an interleague game versus the Gatineau Olympiques. Above, Ottawa goalie Liam Herbst can’t quite reach a rebound but was happy to see a teammate clear the loose puck. The 67’s will continue to play pre-season and regular season games away from Lansdowne Park as refurbishment of their home rink is completed. The team’s home opener will be held on Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m. versus the Niagara IceDogs.

Plenty to see and do at Ottawa’s animation festival Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
SUBMITTED
The short film Little Bird and Squirrel will compete in the Short Film for Kids Competition at the Ottawa International Animation Festival. Screenings for the film will take place on Sept. 20 at 11 a.m. and Sept. 21 at 1 p.m. -- everything from free workshops and family-friendly screenings to a children-led jury to judge either the short films made for kids program at 11 a.m. or the animated TV series made for kids at 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 at the National Gallery of Canada. At the screening, the jury will meet and decide on the winners and present the award that evening. And if heading downtown for the festival seems a little daunting, this year festival organizers will host an
all-Disney event at the SilverCity Gloucester in the east end. The event will feature a screening of a new Disney short film as well as the classic feature The Little Mermaid. Robinson said the festival decided to take a portion of the festival outside of the downtown core to attract more people from the wider community, helping to appeal people beyond animators and animation lovers. “We are well established with the animation world but we are constant-
plenty of opportunities to volunteer during the five-day festival and volunteers get free passes to festival screenings and workshops if they work two full shifts. The festival also sees high volunteer participation from local colleges and universities. “Algonquin has been by far the biggest supplier of volunteers and participants,” Robinson said. He credited the interest to the college’s animation program. Of the screenings and showcases during the festival, Algonquin College student Dougall Dawson’s short film The Plug will compete for the best Canadian Student Animation award for the Canadian Student Competition. For up-and-coming animators, Robinson said the festival is a great place to meet people and start a career in the industry. As well, Robinson said the winners of the Short Film Competition have been considered for an Academy Award. “In terms of studios, people are always getting picked up, looking for talent and new ideas,” Robinson said. Tickets and more information about the festival is available at animationfestival.ca.

News - Ottawa’s downtown will become a little more animated this month. On screens across the area-- the Bytowne Cinema, the National Gallery of Canada, Arts Court, Chateau Laurier, St. Brigids, SilverCity and the Ottawa Little Theatre -- this year’s Ottawa International Animation Festival promises to offer the edgiest, most innovative animation the world has to offer from Sept. 17 to 21. “There is no shortage of things to do or see, that’s for sure,” said artistic director Chris Robinson. “There are so many events going on.” Now in its 38th year, the animation festival welcomes artists and industry professionals from around the world and features films from leading animators, one-on-one talks and workshops with professionals as well as an opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s pioneers. Each year the festival welcomes around 28,000 artists, producers, students and fans to Ottawa. On Robinson’s must-do and see list, there are a number of events geared towards families and children
ly fighting to reach out to the general public,” Robinson said. “The festival started in the late 1970s to bring animators together, which is fine, but then you are just showing animation films to the converted. This is a way to reach out to the general public and featuring Disney seemed a great way to do it.” Overall the festival will feature Disney Animation Studios, with a series of screenings, talks, exhibitions, legendary Disney animators including Ron Clements and John Musker, the directors of the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and the Princess and the Frog. “I think a lot of people will be excited about Disney… having them (Clements and Musker) here, we are very lucky,” Robinson said. “They are going to tell stories about what it’s like working for Disney.” There will also be a special art exhibition created by local artists called Disney Made Me Do It. The art focuses on how Disney Animation Studios has inspired these particular artists. The vernisage will take place on Sept. 18 at the Ottawa Arts Court beginning at 5 p.m. The exhibition will be available for viewing throughout the festival. According to Robinson, there are

Community – What’s a harvest festival without an actual harvest? Staff at the Osgoode Township Museum are inviting guests to come pick free, fresh vegetables from their thriving heritage vegetable garden during the third annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, Sept. 13. “We have all sorts of herbs like basil and dill and parsley, and we’ve got corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beets, beans, peas, carrots and potatoes,” said education officer Tara Heft. The museum received funding last year to install a heritage garden to complete their schoolhouse property in the village of Vernon, and all summer two hired hands have been tending to the vegetables for the benefit of the entire community. Along with the free vegetable harvest, the festival will this year include as many as 17 local artisans selling handmade crafts and art pieces. “In the past with Pioneer Day (in July) we’ve had an artisan village, but we’ve kind of amalgamated those events into one,” Heft said. Craft items range from sewing and crocheted pieces to paintings and jewelry, as well as a fortune teller. Of course, Harvest Festival will also include all the heritage harvest games families have come to love over the past three years, including a scarecrow building contest and a chance to bob for apples. Families can visit the museum’s exhibits and learn about pioneer harvest techniques, and sample seasonal treats like pumpkin pie, hot apple cider and corn on the cob. Kids can also enjoy more modern activities like face painting and a bouncy castle. The Newfie Two will provide Canadian folk music throughout the day. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum, located at 7814 Lawrence St. in Vernon. For more information call 613-821-4062.

Arts Court builder gets go-ahead Boutique hotel to occupy tower in arts hub redevelopment Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - With glowing reviews from local arts groups, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance committee approved a partnership to expand Arts Court. The consortium chosen for the project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EBC Inc., DevMcGill and Groupe Germain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plans to build a boutique-style hotel in the tower at the Daly Street-Waller Street corner of the city-owned site. When the city planned out the redevelopment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the works since 2007 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a tower was included as a way to raise money for the project by selling the development rights. Groupe Germain plans to build a 21-storey building with a hotel occupying the first 12 floors and condos on the remaining floors. With hotels in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Calgary, Groupe Germain lays claim to having built Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first boutique hotel. The concept is based on each property having its own unique personality and style, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website states. In Ottawa, Groupe Germain is already building another hotel-condo project called Alt, located on Slater Street and set to open in September of 2016. The new tower at Arts Court will be designed by Quebec City architec-
ture firm RĂŠgis CĂ´tĂŠ et AssociĂŠs. Other changes to the ByWard Market-area arts hub will include the addition of a 250-seat screening and multi-purpose room, an expanded 4,000-square metre space for the Ottawa Art Gallery and four classrooms and a black-box theatre for the University of Ottawa. Mayor Jim Watson said cultural tourism is the fastest growing element of the tourism industry and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to highlight the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been well-served by national institutions, we also have a very dynamic and vibrant local arts community,â&#x20AC;? Watson said, noting the redevelopment could be seen as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;legacy projectâ&#x20AC;? marking Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th anniversary in 2017, when it will be completed. There was some hesitation on the part of finance committee members when it came to the tentative deal that would see the university pay $9 million for its space. That agreement hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been finalized and some councillors worried the school could pull out. If it falls through, the committee was told the black-box theatre would be removed from the project and the classroom space would be repurposed and city staff would report back to the committee with ideas for alternative tenants for that space. The cost of the project to the city is $35 million. Of that, $4.5 million from the sale of development rights for the tower and $3.2 million from the fundraising efforts of the tenant arts groups at Arts Court. Those fundraising efforts will be bolstered by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donation of naming rights for the building. The
RĂ&#x2030;GIS CĂ&#x201D;TĂ&#x2030; ET ASSOCIĂ&#x2030;S
The city approved a partnership that will see a group of developers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Inc., DevMcGill and Groupe Germain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; build a 21-storey hotel and condo tower alongside a redeveloped Arts Court. coalition of arts groups will seek sponsors to name components of the new building in exchange money to put towards construction. Selling the naming rights is an essential component of that fundraising effort, said Lawson Hunter, chairman of the Ottawa Art Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are confident in achieving the goal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the naming rights will be a key component of our ability to fulfill our funding obligations.â&#x20AC;? If all goes to plan, the new Ottawa Art Gallery and uOttawa space would be completed by February of 2017. The existing space would be repurposed and refurbished by October of
2017 and the tower would be done a month later. The city passed over two other consrotiums that wanted to build the tower: Mizrahi Developments/Bondfield Construction Company Ltd. and the District Development Group (Broccolini and Moriyama & Teshima Architects). R0012850759

Hide and go seek became an additional fair feature MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories every cent of their allowance. I still had a nickel tied in the corner of my hanky. We always saved the exhibition hall for last. Audrey and I loved to see the handiwork and see who had won prizes. The boys hated the hall, but Mother’s instructions left no doubt in anyone’s mind that we all stayed together. So it was five reluctant boys who shuffled into the hall that night to look at the displays of quilts, baking, grain, vegetables, and corn stalks tied together in great tall bundles. Ronny promised if we let him wander the hall, he would not leave the building. Audrey was too engrossed in the needle work to argue. We must have spent a good hour before we realized Ronny was nowhere to be found. We skirted the displays several times, to no avail. Perhaps he had gone out to the ticket gate. Everett, being the oldest, was dispatched immediately. When he got back, Mother was stern
faced and walking quickly beside him. Ronny was not with them. We were ordered to fan out like a search party looking for someone lost in the bush. We started to get panicky when we saw the fair board beginning to dismantle the displays in the hall. A group of ladies from the Women’s Institute was folding quilts, and putting the baking in large baskets. Audrey and I were posted at the door just in case he had wandered out and would come back to look for us. The hall was emptying quickly. Mother’s look of anger was fast turning to a look of panic. As was usual for me, when I got scared or distressed, I started to cry, which led my sister Audrey to repeat one of my father’s favourite observations: “Mary your bladder must be awfully close to your eyes.” See MOTHER, page 46

f Mother had followed Father’s advice, we would have bypassed the Renfrew fair that year. Our Montreal cousins were with us, and Terry the youngest would have been no trouble, but the eldest, Ronny, was another matter all together. But Mother thought a face to face talk with Ronny before the old model T left the barn yard would be sufficient to insure his best behaviour. She didn’t have to go over the ground rules with the rest of us. We knew them by heart: stay together, no squabbling, don’t sit on the seat in the outdoor privy, and once our quarter was gone, there was no more money to squander. Ronny said he understood perfectly. The Renfrew Fair was just about the most exciting place to be on a fall day. My three brothers were usually flat broke in less than an hour. Whereas my sister Audrey and I took ages to make up our minds how we wanted to spend our quarters. We had gone to the fair early Saturday evening that year. It wasn’t the best time to go, because organizers usually started to dismantle everything by nine o’clock. However, the side benefit was that often we got rides at a discount price because it was the final night. As usual, we cruised the entire fair as soon as we arrived, with specific orders from Mother, since we were there at night time, to stay together and meet back at the ticket booth by nine o’clock. Ronny, for a change, seemed to be on his best behaviour. Once or twice he compared the Renfrew Fair to a place called LaFontaine Park in Montreal, but we paid little attention to him. He wasn’t too impressed and called the rides “kid stuff.” Finally, the boys had spent

Grilled brunch burritos make for fun meal Lifestyle - This makes a fun meal to serve outside because the foil keeps them warm until serving and catches any drips. Try them over the campfire or barbecue. Vary the heat in the sauce to taste and for a vegetarian version, omit the chorizo. Preparation time: 40 minutes. Cooking time: 10 to 12 minutes. Serves four. INGREDIENTS
• 4 eggs • 15 ml (1 tbsp) milk • 5 ml (1 tsp) each chili powder and ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced sweet red pepper • 75 ml (1/3 cup) diced mild or hot smoked chorizo sausage • 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter • 25 ml (2 tbsp) each light sour
cream and light mayonnaise • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh lime juice • Hot sauce (optional) • 4 23-centimetre (9-inch) whole wheat tortillas, warmed • 12 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved • 2 green onions, sliced • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander • 1 l (4 cups) baby spinach leaves PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, chili powder, cumin and salt until blended. Stir in the red pepper and chorizo. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and cook the egg mixture, stirring occasionally, until it’s set but still moist. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayon-
naise, lime juice and hot sauce (if using) until smooth. Spoon one-quarter of the egg mixture down the centre of each tortilla, leaving about a 2.5-centimetre (1-inch) border at the edge. Arrange the tomatoes, onions and coriander on the egg mixture. Drizzle the sour cream mixture over the filling and pile the spinach on top. Fold over the sides and ends, tucking in the spinach and roll up. Wrap each tortilla snugly in a 23-centimetre (9-inch) piece of foil and seal the ends. Heat a panini grill on medium-high heat and grill the burritos for five to seven minutes or until grill marks appear on the tortilla, opening the foil to check. Let cool for a couple of minutes and slice in half diagonally right through foil. Foodland Ontario

The ‘professor’ is in A statue honouring Frank Clair, considered the greatest coach in Ottawa’s Canadian Football League history, is at Lansdowne Park on Sept. 5. The statue of Clair, which was created by Brian Hanlon, overlooks the field at TD Place stadium where Clair coached the Rough Riders from 1956 to 1969. Clair’s Ottawa teams won three Grey Cups while he was coach and two more while he was general manager. Russ Jackson, a former quarterback who played with Clair for his entire career, said Clair ‘was a player’s coach and we all respected him for that.’ The statue of Clair, who was known as ‘the professor,’ is located at Gate 6.

A scan showed she had a brain tumor and surgery confirmed it was brain cancer. She died a little more than two years later.

NOVEMBER 14, 15, 16
Those were difficult years. At times, the day program at the hospice became a refuge where Jane could share her fears with others whose end-of-life was in sight. At others, it was the place she went to escape and paint or watch the butterflies in the garden. Jane didn’t die at the hospice. Because beds are scarce other arrangements were made. I felt guilty when Jane died. She was my younger sister so I should have gone first. At the same time I was angry with her. She had promised to share the care of our elderly parents. And my anger made me feel even more guilty. But a counsellor at the hospice helped me to understand that this was part of grieving. Now I can remember her with only sadness and love.

Mother furious with Ronny Continued from page 41
We had been looking for Ronny for an hour. I was convinced he had been hauled off by one of the carnival workers, which made me cry all the louder. The hall was almost stripped. Everyone but the workers had gone home. All that was left were the grain displays and the tall stalks of corn tied into bundles and standing along one wall. A few farmers were moving into position to take away even those last remnants of the Renfrew Fair. “No,” they said when asked if they had seen a young boy with blonde hair who looked like he was lost.
“fitness for the family”
Mother thought she should go and look for the police. One of the farmers thought that might be a good idea, as he moved over to the tall stalks of corn. He lifted the first two bundles and tossed them on his shoulders. His tall lanky son reached for the third. When he lifted it from the wall, there was Ronny sitting behind the corn stalks looking out at us with sheer delight and devilment written all over his face. Mother was so mad she swung her purse at him and caught the farmer square on the side of his head. He recovered quickly, and made a grab for the young villain.
But Mother beat him to it. She grabbed Ronny by the scruff of the neck and hauled him to his feet, which never touched the floor all the way out of the building. Father was wearing his, “I told you so” look. Finally Ronny looked Mother square in the eye and said, “I don’t know why everyone is so mad. I wasn’t lost. I knew where I was all the time.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details.

Renaud Road rerouting idea to be considered Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The Bradley Estates Community Association is getting some traction at city hall on its idea to reroute the planned Brian Cobourn Boulevard extension. During the transportation committee’s Oct. 1 meeting, retiring Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess was expected to ask councillors to approve his request to have city staff prepare a “high level estimate” for an alternate road link through the Greenbelt. The community group thinks a rerouted Renaud Road would help clear up traffic headaches in the area. Although the suggested route would connect the western leg of Renaud Road to Navan Road via a hydro corridor that cuts through the Greenbelt, the National Capital Commission is not closing the door to building a new road across its land. “The NCC welcomes opportunities to discuss future transportation initiatives which may be identified through formal processes by the city,” reads a letter from Mark Kristmanson, the chief executive officer of the NCC. The letter continues to say that
F
transportation projects should increase the overall efficiency of the transportation network without compromising the NCC’s ability to meet its commitments to protect the Greenbelt. Bloess, who supports the community group’s efforts to investigate a possible new route, was encouraged by Kristmanson’s reaction. The impact on the Greenbelt could be balanced by eliminating a section of Renaud Road that zig-zigs through the Greenbelt, crossing the PrescottRussel Trail twice, Bloess said. “The NCC has already (said), ‘You give us back something we can reintegrate back into the Greenbelt, we’re happy to look at it,’” he said. Bloess said there is some resistance to the idea among the city’s transportation planning staff because the route was just studied and confirmed in the transportation master plan update adopted by council last year. That blueprint sets out a future extension of Brian Cobourn Boulevard – the eastern section of which is already under construction – that would parallel Navan Road starting at Orleans Boulevard. But Yasmine Fathers, president of
the Bradley Estates Community Association, said that new road won’t help alleviate the traffic backup through their community, as motorists try to south. Discovering that 75 per cent of motorists turn left on Anderson Road to take Renaud Road on their way out of the east end was an eye opener, Fathers said. After relying on the community design plan for the area to solve the traffic problems over time, Fathers said the community group recently came to the conclusion that band-aid solutions weren’t enough and a bigger transportation rethink was needed. Shifting traffic into a realigned Renaud Road seems like the best solution to everyone, Fathers said, from other community associations to Orleans business groups and local city council candidates. “As much as you can make plans, things change,” Bloess said. The idea won’t stand a chance if the ward’s new councillor doesn’t carry it forward and champion putting money for the study into the 2015 budget, Bloess said. “It’s realistic in the sense that if you don’t put it forward for study, you’ll never know,” Bloess said.

Ashbury College celebrates a new year with a new building Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Ashbury College decided to start the new school year off with a strong focus on arts. The private day and boarding school in Rockcliffe Park officially opened its new $10 million Creative Learning Centre on the first day back at school on Sept. 3. The school’s headmaster, Norman Southward welcomed students back, adding he was pleased the Creative Learning Centre was ready in time. “This is an enhanced space for arts and music,” Southward said. “I am delighted to think of what it will bring to your student experiences here.” The multi-million dollar building, Southward added would not have been possible if not for $5.2 million in donations from the community. The new centre offers students new art and music studios and a media room and technology-enhanced classrooms. The new space also has
a gallery exhibition space, a ceramics workshop and a large learning commons. “In a climate where arts are becoming increasingly under-funded, Ashbury has made a commitment to it. We felt it was important,” Southward said. Of all the new rooms in the centre, Southward said his favourite was the art studio because of its natural light. Some of the college’s rooms, including the dining hall, the theatre and its residences are available for rental, but when it comes to renting out the art studio or music rooms, so far Southward said this new space will be first and foremost for the students. “The spaces are a part of the school’s academic structure,” he said. After a brief ribbon cutting by Mayor Jim Watson, his sister, Jayne Watson, former Ashbury parent and executive officer of the National Arts Centre Foundation, and governors Chris Teron and Meena Roberts, students rushed in to check out the new space before officially starting class. The new learning centre entrance will also serve as the official entrance for the Junior School.

September is Responsible Dog Ownership Month and part of being a good pet parent is setting up your dog for success. There’s no better way to start the school year off on the right paw than by teaching a dog some new tricks with obedience training. It is never too late or too early for your canine to benefit from basic obedience training and manners. Dog obedience training is one of the best things you can do to ensure a successful relationship with your dog. Here’s why: UÊ9 ÕÀÊ` }ÊÜ ÊÕ `iÀÃÌ> `ÊÀ } ÌÊ behaviours and will not be confused by inconsistent or misunderstood commands.

UÊ 9 ÕÀÊ ` }Ê Ü Ê LiÊ ÕV Ê Ã>viÀ]Ê particularly if he runs out your front
door or is off leash at the local dog park; he will return on your command. In celebration of Responsible Dog Ownership Month, adopt a canine companion this month from the OHS and sign up your furry pupil for some higher learning with an OHS obedience class for just $99. Adopt one of the four featured dogs and get 50 per cent off the cost of training — that’s a $70 savings on tuition! Information on the featured dogs is available at the OHS Adoption Centre >ÌÊÓ{xÊ7iÃÌÊ Õ ÌÊ ÕLÊ,`°Ê/ ÃÊ`i> Ê is available while supplies last. Dog obedience helps strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. Not only do dogs learn how to be good canine citizens, but the sessions are also a valuable experience for new owners who learn how to help their new friend be the best dog possible. To learn more about the importance of dog obedience training, check out the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca.
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:
