Headway made in battle against gun crimes: police Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Police say while last week’s arrest of five people following another shoot-

ing in Herongate did not take a big bite out of the city’s drug trade, it does represent a major step forward in curbing gun violence plaguing Ottawa this year.

Shots rang out in a drive-by shooting at the corner of Bank Street and Eerie Avenue, just north of Heron Road, shortly after 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 23. Both vehicles had taken off by the time police responded to an emergency call at 8:15 p.m., and no eyewitnesses came forward. But the next day, Ottawa police announced they had arrested five people known to the guns and gangs unit, culminating in 60 criminal charges and the seizure of two loaded handguns, nearly $4,000 in illicit drugs and a vehicle. “It’s not a significant amount (of drugs),� said acting Staff Sgt. Ken Bryden, head of the guns and gang unit.

News – An Ottawa man faces nine charges after Ottawa police bicycle patrol officers say they spotted him with an open container of alcohol in the Heatherington and Fairlea neighbourhood last week. “Officers approached the male on bicycle to confirm he was not consuming alcohol in a prohibited location,” police said in a statement following the July 24 incident. “Officers engaged the male and he became increasingly nervous and attempted to flee the officers.”

A foot chase ensued, and the man inadvertently led officers with the east district neighbourhood section to a residence in the 1400-block of Heatherington Rd. on July 24. The suspect was subsequently arrested, and police said they recovered a fully loaded .45-calibre handgun. A 22-year-old Ottawa man faces charges related to the possession of a loaded, prohibited or restricted firearm, handling, possessing and carrying a concealed weapon, as well as a slew of other charges. He was scheduled to appear in court on July 25.

News – An Ottawa man turned himself in to Ottawa police last week after a man was shot twice in his lower extremities in the Hunt Club neighbourhood in south Ottawa. Officers raced to the 100-block of Horsdal Pvt., near Hunt Club and Conroy roads, at 7:10 p.m. on Thursday, July 17, where a male victim in his 20s was suffering from two gunshot wounds to his lower extremities. The man was taken to the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital and was said to be in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. At the time, the victim refused to cooperate with investigators. The next morning, on July 18, the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit led an extensive police operation about 800 metres away on Topley Cr., during which a search warrant was executed at a home there. Due to the high risk to the safety of the public and about a dozen police officers, five homes were evacuated on the street between Keys Way and Karsh Drive. Several police units were at the scene, including tactical officers, a police robot and the service’s chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives unit.

Of the 22 shootings in Ottawa this year, five have involved male victims suffering gunshot wounds to either one or both of their legs. “At this point we truly don’t have anything to say that they’re all connected, so the fact that five victims have been shot in the leg right now is a complete coincidence with what we have,� said acting Staff Sgt. Ken Bryden, head of the guns and gangs unit. “We are certainly looking at the possibility that they may be connected because of the type of wounds and where these guys were shot, but there’s nothing right now to suggest that they are connected for that reason.� Calling it a coincidence at this point, Bryden said until investigators receive clear evidence or leads indicating they are related, they must examine each case independently. What they do know is that each shooting was targeted. “That is for sure,� Bryden said. Police have made one arrest in connection to one of the five leg shootings. Mohamed Abdi Abdullahi, 31, is expected to face several firearms-related charges.

“But what I will say is that ... the results of that file are significant developments in our battle against gun violence,” said Bryden, who is also head of the direct action response team, which monitors streetgang activity. “If you were to look at the quantity of cocaine, for example, or the quantity of weed, in and of itself, it’s not substantial, but I’m looking at this in its totality, especially what’s going on in the recent gun violence in our city,” he said. The Bank Street shooting was the city’s 22nd this year. Last year, there were 30 shootings in Ottawa and 32 the year before. There were 23 in 2011. “We’re right on pace” compared to past years, Bryden said, adding the summer months are typically when most shootings take place. In the most recent incident, police say two vehicles were stopped at an intersection, when shots were fired from one vehicle, occupied by three people, at another vehicle with one person inside. Police say, miraculously, no one was injured in the recent targeted attack. “Given what we do know, both those cars were fairly close together,” Bryden said. “In all these incidents it’s amazing that somebody’s not killed because it’s obvious in these incidents just how brazen they are in terms of the shots fired.” While there were no eyewitnesses, police have additional tools and methods that help them in their work. “There’s so many other investigative avenues and techniques that these (officers) employ with or without that co-operation, but obviously with that co-operation the investigation, I would suggest, would be that much smoother,” he said. “It would be that much quicker.” “The guys are known to us so we have our own database, our own history of information and intelligence that we can apply to help us suggest maybe what happened there, and maybe put these pieces together,” Bryden explained. As a result, police executed a number of search warrants on homes and vehicles in

Wouldn’t it be nice to share the fun with somebody who doesn’t get out that often?

The arrest last week of five people in the wake of a recent shooting in the Herongate neighbourhood of Ottawa is a “significant development” in stamping out gun violence in the city, according to Ottawa police. the city. Their efforts netted a loaded Smith and Wesson 9-mm handgun and a loaded Taurus .40-calibre handgun, common weapon types used or suspected to have been used in other gun battles in the city this year. Bullet casings from the same gun types were recovered by police in the aftermath of a gun fight on Cedarwood Drive in Herongate on June 17. “So obviously that’s one area of our investigation that we’re going to pay particularly close attention to,” Bryden said of the similar weapon types. The weapons used are considered “crime guns,” he said. “They don’t come from a legitimate owner who obviously abides by the law and properly registers them and puts the necessary documentation for them in place.” Of the crime guns said to be in Ottawa, 50 per cent are smuggled across the U.S.Canada border, Bryden said, adding the rest are domestically sourced, some of which are stolen from residences that are targeted for their weapons. His team of investigators is now awaiting ballistics reports on the two guns recovered last week to determine if they were, in fact, used in the Bank Street shooting or other incidents involving gun violence.

Last week’s arrests also netted 26 grams of cocaine, with an estimated street value of $2,610, four grams of hashish valued at $40 on the street, and more than 125 grams of marijuana, valued at $1,245, as well as a 2007 Chevrolet Impala. A 28-year-old Ottawa man is facing 30 charges, most of them related to drug and weapons offences. A 25-year-old Ottawa man faces 26 weapons-related charges. Their first court appearance was scheduled for July 25. Two more Ottawa men, ages 25 and 57, have each been charged with two drug-possession offences. They were released on a promise to appear in court at a later date. An 18-year-old Ottawa woman, who was also released on a promise to appear, was charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime.

New PGA golf tourney on target to break even, support charity Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - Despite the challenges of establishing a new charitable tournament within the PGA Tour Canada lineup, organizers say they are on track to recoup operating expenses and raise a significant pot of money for a Canadian military charity. “I think we’re absolutely trending in the right direction,” said John Randolph, Torontobased volunteer director of the Forces & Families Open, which is scheduled Aug. 4 to 10 at Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa. “At the end of the day we definitely want to break even and I’m confident that we will do that.” The inaugural event, which supports the Military Families Fund, will also be held at Hylands for the next two years. A PGA Tour Canada event has

not happened in Ottawa since 2001. The event, during which 156 professional golfers will compete for a $150,000 purse, will kick off with two days of ProAm play on Aug. 4 and 5, when teams of amateur players pay for the chance to play on a team with a professional. Of the 76 available team slots, 46 had been sold by July 24, “slightly lower” than organizers hoped, said Randolph, who is optimistic more will sign up, helping to further offset $500,000 in operating costs, which includes the purse. Those fees would also help support the charity. “All companies in all sectors have trimmed back on their budgets and like all organizations they don’t have the discretionary investment funds that they’ve had over the years,” he said, adding that when the

tournament was announced last September, it was already late for many companies to include it in their budget cycles. With the event just around the corner, he hoped not to be relying so much on beer and ticket sales, but he said organizers are working hard to get 20,000 people to come out and watch the professional golfers in action. “If we get the 20,000 people out we’ll be just fine. If we get 15,000 out and they eat more and drink a little bit more then we’ll be fine too,” Randolph said. So far the tournament has generated about $20,000 for the Military Families Fund. “If we end up with $50,000 to $100,000 for the charity for a first year event, we’ll all take a deep breath and say that’s alright, because these (PGA) golf events actually don’t produce a

Those dollars make an important difference in the lives of military families by helping fund a variety of services, such as children’s camps, deployment services and other outreach initiatives, which are “so critical to allowing the military members to do what they have to do,” said Col. Kevin Goheen, commanding officer of dental services for the Canadian Forces and president of Hylands Golf Club. “I know myself when I was deployed in Afghanistan the (Military Family Resource

Centre) was there and offering all sorts of resources to my family in support of what I was doing in Afghanistan,” he said during a press conference at the club on July 22. Given the event’s inaugural year, organizers said bumps can be expected. “The first time you do something is always challenging, but it’s coming together and it’s going to come together in a fantastic way, and it’ll benefit everybody,” Goheen said. In addition to providing another tournament in which toplevel players can showcase their skills, the event also positively

impacts the local community, said Jeff Monday, president of PGA Tour Canada. “To have a tournament in the nation’s capital at a military golf course benefitting military families, it’s a real honour for us to be able to be affiliated with that,” Monday said. “We want to make it more than just a golf tournament. We want to make it a community event.” For a complete schedule, go to pgatour.com/canada, or to make a donation or volunteer at the event, visit forcesandfamilies.ca.

Bridge should honour First Peoples To the editor:

Re: ‘Vimy Bridge’ could replace Strandherd-Armstrong name, Ottawa South News, July 24. Although I respect the context of this name, I feel there are already many commemorative sites names after War or Military events. One honor I feel is missing in our country is reflections to Canada’s First Peoples. Native Indians have historically suffered significantly at the hands of European colonies. Even today, we are still behind in making things right. The first step that the B.C. government recently did in recognizing native land, is a great step in mending the wrongs of the past. It is my opinion that nam-

ing the bridge with a First Peoples theme would go a long way to remind our children we did not always exist in this great county, and that we must respect and honor the First Peoples who had to adapt (and sometimes perish) to get to the society we enjoy today. On a national level politically, this would send a wonderful message that we remember . . .And a bridge signifies closing distance and bringing people together. What better way to celebrate. Serge Lamothe Manotick

Beware the bridge To the editor:

Re: New connection applauded on both sides of the Rideau, July 24. Lesia Gilbert, who sits on the executive of the Riverside South Community As-

sociation, is quoted as saying, “They’re a little worried that maybe some of the Barrhaven crime might come over.” “They” are presumably some residents of the paradise that is Riverside South, worried that the new bridge will bring a wave of criminal activity unparalleled in the history of the two communities. They are right to be concerned. I have lived (in fear) in Barrhaven for the last 12 years. The things I see on a daily basis from inside the safety of my house would chill your blood. Honestly, it’s like Detroit in the movie Robocop here. The following are some recent examples of the sort of sociopathic behaviour I have witnessed: • a man parked his car right in front of the grocery store while waiting for his wife, rather than parking in a regular spot. The traffic chaos that ensued was not for the faint of heart. • A jogger had a plastic water bottle, not a more environ-

mentally-friendly alternative. • Someone got on the No. 70 express bus this morning without exact change. • Walkers are ignoring the new Pedestrians Yield to Cars signs in the roundabouts on Jockvale Road (and the drivers are letting them!). • An elderly lady walking her dog did not stoop and scoop. • A bunch of teenagers

were playing road hockey in CLEAR violation of city bylaws (they were probably on drugs, darn kids. Why aren’t they inside playing video games where it’s safe?). I could go on, but this is a family newspaper. I urge all concerned residents of Riverside South to lock up your daughters and hide the silver. And for the love of God, whatever you do,

don’t venture across the new bridge. You clearly won’t be able to handle it. I long for the day when I can leave this anarchyplagued cesspool behind, and find peace and tranquility in the Utopia that is Riverside South (where I’m sure there is no crime whatsoever).

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The Corporation of the City of Ottawa on July 9, 2014 established its intention to designate the Horticulture Building, 957 Bank Street, Ottawa under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Horticulture Building Description of Historic Place The Horticulture Building, 957 Bank Street, is a two storey brick exhibition building constructed in 1914 at Lansdowne Park, the Central Canada Exhibition grounds from 1888 until 2010. Lansdowne Park is located in the Glebe neighbourhood of Ottawa. The building was moved from its original location to its current location in 2012. Changes to the north end of the building, including a new entrance on the north façade and new entry bays were undertaken in 2013-2014. Heritage Value The Horticulture Building is associated with the evolution of Lansdowne Park as an exhibition grounds. The first agricultural fair in what is now Ontario took place in Niagara-on-the-Lake before 1800 and soon after many other towns began hosting their own fairs. In 1846, the provincial government organized an annual provincial exhibition that was hosted by a different community each year. Ottawa hosted the provincial exhibition at Lansdowne Park in 1875, 1879 and 1887. In 1888, Ottawa began hosting its own fair called the Central Canada Exhibition. Opened in 1914, the Horticulture Building is the one of a number of several permanent structures built at Lansdowne Park in the 19th and 20th century. From construction it served as an exhibition hall in the summer and a curling club, originally housing four natural rinks, in the winter. It was also the site of press rooms and a Banquet Hall where dignitaries visiting the exhibition were entertained. Alan Keefer, a prominent Ottawa architect, designed the building. Keefer studied architecture at MIT in the United States, returning to Ottawa to practice in 1905. Keefer was responsible for commercial and institutional designs including the Ashbury College, the Ottawa Ladies College, he is best known for designing many notable houses in Rockcliffe Park including Waterstone, 725 Acacia Avenue, constructed for Frederic and Gertrude Bronson and Lindenelm, 11 Crescent Road constructed for Wilson Southam and his own house at 741 Acacia Avenue. He also served as Assistant Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works. Architecturally, the Horticulture Building is an excellent example of the Prairie style in Canada, and is a rare institutional building designed in the style. The Prairie style originated in the American Midwest in the late 19th century and is considered one of the first truly North American architectural styles. Typical of the style, the Horticulture Building features rectilinear massing, a horizontal profile, flat roof, wide overhanging eaves, and windows with a geometric muntin pattern. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

Bridging public opinion

T

he suggestion to rename the StrandherdArmstrong Bridge “Vimy Bridge� has turned into a political football for Ottawaarea councillors, MPs and MPPs. Ever since it was first proposed by two branches of the Royal Canadian Legion, politicians have been quick to let citizens (voters) know they support the idea. How could they not? The Battle of Vimy Ridge is one of Canada’s greatest military victories, fought during the First World War in 1917. More than 3,500 Canadians were killed in the battle, which is remembered as an significant event in the history of our country, marking its birth as a truly independent nation. Vimy Bridge would be a fitting name for south Ottawa’s new bridge, a “remarkable structure� situated in the nation’s capital and one deserving a title of national import, says Gloucester South-Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t consider other suggestions.

Council has latched onto the name only a few days after it was suggested, and later championed by Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre. While politicians have almost universally jumped on the Vimy Bridge band-wagon, not all residents are convinced the name is the best choice. A member of the Manotick legion asked why the city must reach back almost a century in time for a bridge name, and not offer any serious consideration to more recent conflicts such as the war in Afghanistan. On Poilievre’s Facebook page, one commenter pointed out it was strange to name a bridge plagued with years of construction problems after a nationbuilding moment in our history. Thankfully, all suggestions for renaming the bridge must go through a commemorative naming process, which includes a 30-day public consultation. Whatever name ends up being chosen, it will still be a good bridge, and we will always honour our veterans.

lease excuse me if you haven’t heard back from me lately. I’ve been buried under a pile of clean laundry. The truth is, my nanny left us in early June. She was part-time, employed to look after our preschool-aged daughter and help with daily domestic tasks. She cleaned the kitchen, made meals, vacuumed and folded and put away laundry daily. God bless her, she was industrious! I initially tried and failed to replace her. And then, with all the summer travel and activities and a toilet-training two-year-old, I decided to cut my freelance workload and “take the summer off with the kids.� We’ve had some good times, sure. We’ve been camping, visiting, and gone to museums. We’ve gone to the

No. At home, I spend every waking hour cleaning a kitchen that never quite seems to get clean, folding laundry that never quite makes it into drawers before I find it’s gone back through the cycle of wear-soilwash-dry again, and feeding the offspring, whose appetites are never satiated. (My boys aren’t even close to adolescence and they’re already eating me out of house and home. My two-year-old has already learned how to help herself from the pantry cupboard or fridge drawers and she’s constantly in there). The stress of home life has made me realize a number of important things: 1) I need a nanny; 2) Laundry reproduces very quickly in a house

And truth be told, I’m not sure we can really afford a nanny, except the costbenefit analysis comparing alternative childcare options has tipped the scale in favour of part-time domestic help.

Probably a good idea, unless, of course, I can find a really great nanny, ideally one who can instill values of fidelity into our socks. Because, if I never have to match a pair of socks again, well, I may just consider giving nanny a raise.

Daredevil acts, animals to wow under the circus big top Shrine Circus set to perform at RA Centre Aug. 8, 9 and 10 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - As a ringmaster for almost 20 years, Richard Curtis has stepped countless times into circus rings across North America wearing traditional tuxedo tails, a top hat and armed with a whistle. He knows the acts he’s about to announce, but he still has to be ready for anything given the element of danger that comes with the often daredevil performances in the Shrine Circus. “It keeps me on my game. It’s live performance,” he said from the road after a recent show in Milton, Ont. “You never know what you’re going to get sometimes.” Seeing really will be believing for Ottawa spectators when the Shrine Circus returns to the RA Centre for the third year to perform seven shows from Aug. 8 to

10 under an Italian-made Big Top that stretches into the sky about 20 metres. In addition to showcasing the talents of performers from Germany, Romania, Italy, Argentina, Mexico, France, the United States and

“It’s live performance. You never know what you’re going to get sometimes.” RICHARD CURTIS, SHRINE CIRCUS RINGMASTER

Canada, the show this year will feature several thrilling acts, including Saturn Garcia on the Wheel of Destiny. He will also transform into a human cannonball when he is shot out of a giant cannon 15 metres into the air. Acts will also include

clowns, trapeze and aerial artistry, juggling, sword balancing and musical comedy. The Dragomirs, a Romanian teeterboard family, are performing for the first time on Canadian soil with this tour through Ontario and Quebec. During their act, family members will climb about four metres to the top of a pole perched on another performer’s forehead. “When you see an act like that it just screams circus. It’s not anything conventional,” said Curtis, who calls Florida home. “When you start seeing people do things like that, it does embody everything we do here under the Big Top.” The show will also feature the Zerbini Liberty horses and the Tarzan Zerbini performing elephants, Marie and Shelley. “There’ve been a lot of misconceptions about exotic SUBMITTED animals in the circus,” Curtis said, adding the bonded pair Tarzan Zerbini elephant Marie provides a ride under the Big Top, alongside elephant Shelley. The Shrine Circus is coming to the RA Centre in Ottawa, from Aug. 8 to 10, and will was born in captivity. See ONE, page 11

One-ring circus offers intimate viewing experience Continued from page 9

During the circus season, the elephants are permitted to decompress once a month for three to five days at a time at different locations “… where they can just be elephants. Nothing is asked of them. They’re not made to do tricks,” Curtis said. “They can roam. They can swim. They can play.” The European-style onering circus will provide a more intimate viewing experience, compared to other circuses that feature three rings. “There’s just a lot of character and ambiance to see it this

RICHARD CURTIS, RINGMASTER way,” said the ringmaster, who also works as the circus prop boss and performance director.

The former U.S. marine got his big break 19 years ago as a circus ringmaster thanks to a chance audition during which he performed Bobby Darin’s song, Mack the Knife. Curtis’ wife, Kimberly Zerbini Curtis, is an eighth-generation circus performer who grew up in the Zerbini Family Circus, which dates back 251 years. Her uncle owns the Tarzan Zerbini Circus, which has been touring for more than 40 years under the Shrine name. Circuses that operate under this name are a major fundraiser for the service club. While Kimberly isn’t per-

forming this year, she and the couple’s three children are on the road with the show, helping out where they can and honing acts possibly for next year. “It really is a family affair underneath the Big Top,” Curtis said of the 45 to 55 people that make up his circus family, including performers, crew and their relatives. The circus family is dedicated to providing a thrilling experience that allows spectators of

all ages to leave their cares and worries at the door, he said. “You can see, for a short amount of time, on some of the moms’ and dads’ faces they kind of get lost as kids themselves because it’s not just for the kids,” Curtis said, adding that as ringmaster he has a front-row seat himself in seeing the delight spread across their faces. “I feel like I’ve got the best job in the world.” General admission is $30,

VIP seats cost $40 and ringside seats are $50, plus service charges and tax. Children three and under are free if they sit on a caregiver’s lap. Seating is available on a first come, first serve basis. The Shrine Circus takes place at the RA Centre parking lot, located at 2451 Riverside Dr. For a complete schedule and ticket details, visit shrinecircus. ca.

News - Oranges are on the left, lettuce is on the right, and if you’d like apples, please move a little further to the back of the bus. MarketMobile is a new concept that brings a chartered OC Transpo bus full of fruits and vegetables right to four Ottawa neighbourhoods that are located a good jaunt from the nearest grocery store. The interior of the bus is equipped with shelves at the level of the seatbacks, which makes for a whimsical sight compared to the usual a walk down the aisle. The six-month pilot project launched July 26 in Morrison Gardens, just off Greenbank Road. A steady line of local shoppers entered the parked bus by the front door to pick out healthy ingredients from a selection of 15 veggies and 10 fruits; a list that will

vary on each visit. After exiting the bus’s back door laden with bags of fresh goods, they checked out – cash only – with volunteers. Among those ready to shop was Keshia Peters, who normally has to head out to a grocery store by bus, with her young son and stroller along for the ride. She said the prices at MarketMobile are “probably little better than the grocery stores.� “It looks fresher too,� she said. First through the bus was eight-year-old Ayla Davis, who emerged loaded down with bananas, blueberries and raspberries. She said she planned to wash up her purchases and share them with a friend during a sleepover later the same night. Asked to pick her favourite purchase, she was non-committal: “everything,� she said. If the response is as enthusiastic at the other three

stops, MarketMobile organizers hope to continue to the pilot project or even expand to other neighbourhoods. Jamie Hurst, a nutritionist with Ottawa Public Health, said the four communities served by MarketMobile identified the local need. She said challenging access to healthy foods, and the perception that fruits and vegetables are too expensive, may limit the quality of foods consumed in a given community. “Community members have told us they can benefit from this,� Hurst said. Ottawa Public Health provided the funds for the pilot project, and Loblaws’ Rideau Street store provides the produce at cost. “We sell and break even,� Hurst said. “We can’t run a deficit.� The city’s medical officer of health, Isra Levy, said community groups like the Poverty and Hunger Working Group were “the real drivers� of the MarketMobile concept, which emerged after Good Food Markets popped up in 11 locations around the city.

Throughout my travels around our city, I have the opportunity to meet many people; some of them call our city home while others are visiting from abroad. One of my favorite questions to ask them is what is their favorite attraction in Ottawa? The answers I hear most: Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and the Byward Market, all share the commonality of being close to the Ottawa River. Whether called The Ottawa River, Rivière des Outaouais or Kichesippi, the waterway on the banks of which our national capital was built has been a gathering place, the subject and inspiration for artists, and a constant source of beauty in our city’s history. With the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017 approaching, the need to protect the health and vibrance of this waterway for future generations is increasingly clear. That is why in 2010 Council approved the Ottawa River Action Plan (ORAP), an aggressive and comprehensive plan for the Ottawa River consisting of 17 projects that set out to: s -AINTAIN A HEALTHY AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM s %NSURE COMPLIANCE WITH AND EXCEED REGULATORY requirements s /PTIMIZE RECREATIONAL USE AND REDUCE BEACH CLOSURES s $EVELOP A LONG TERM STRATEGY TO GUIDE AND PRIORITIZE actions Working together with our federal and provincial counterparts we have made tremendous progress. We have reduced combined sewer overows signiďŹ cantly in recent years – by more than 80% but, there is still more work to do. Last year, despite our progress, 205 million litres of untreated waste and waste water still made its way into our city’s most important waterway and a big storm this June caused a large overow. It is troubling that in the 21st century we still have raw sewage overows going into a treasured waterway, owing right behind the Parliament Buildings nonetheless. Our current infrastructure is unable to cope with the volume of waste and waste water produced after heavy rain falls which causes these sewer overows. To prevent this, the third phase of ORAP includes building the #OMBINED 3EWAGE 3TORAGE 4UNNEL WHICH WILL GREATLY EXPAND OUR ability to store combined sewer overow that can then be treated and returned safely to the Ottawa River. This project would help stop almost all raw sewage from owing into the Ottawa River.

Chemical scare at Ottawa airport Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A customs worker whose eyes came into contact with an unknown powder at the FedEx building at the Ottawa airport on Monday was taken to hospital as a precaution. The scare prompted the full deployment of the Ottawa fire department’s hazardous materials response units shortly after 10 a.m. to the shipping building at 130 Thad Johnston Pvt., off Alert Road, at the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. The hazmat team tested

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 31, 2014

News – A family of six, including four children, had to find temporary alternate accommodations after the air conditioner in their Herongate apartment unit caught fire last week. A mother and her three children were home napping at the time of the fire shortly after 3 p.m. on Friday, July 25, but they woke up in time and safely escaped, said Capt. Marc Messier, Ottawa fire department spokesman. A Salvation Army emergency disaster services co-ordinator alerted Ottawa firefighters after he spotted smoke coming from a fourth-floor balcony at 2850 Cedarwood Dr. “He happened to be in the area and saw it,” Messier said. At least 20 firefighters responded to the high-rise fire, which Messier

said was caused by a faulty air-conditioner unit installed in a window. “They had smoke coming off of the balcony, but at that point we can’t tell if it’s coming from the balcony or from inside the unit, so it’s not until they get inside the unit that they were able to confirm that it was the windowsill,” he said. “So basically the entire window frame had been damaged as a result of the fire, and the window blew out.” The emergency call was then downgraded “because they managed to get it out pretty quickly,” Messier said of the flames. Damages to the unit inside the 16-storey building were estimated at $15,000. There were no injuries. “There was a little bit of smoke damage in the apartment itself but there (were) no problems out in the main hallway (and) none of the other apartments were affected,” said Messier.

Ready to ride Tippy, a rider from Carp, left, and Alex Lewis of Carleton Place get set for the Blood Run, a fundraising motorcycle tour to raise money for Canadian Blood Services. The event, organized by Soldiers for Jesus Motorcycle Club, set out from McKellar Park on the morning of July 26 and wrapped up at the same spot with a barbecue in the afternoon.

on all 3 minute express washes every Friday now through August 30/14.

PULL AHEAD WITH TOP QUALITY CARE Suds Car Wash has it all…Express Tunnel, Indoor & Outdoor Self Serve, High Power Vacuum Stations There’s a new auto wash centre in Ottawa that raises the bar for vehicle care. Suds Car Wash has state-of-the-art equipment and techniques housed in the most user-friendly and welcoming centre you have ever experienced. Not your typical car wash, Suds Car Wash is all about quality and value.

“We’re off to a great start,” says Manager Dave ‘Cowboy’ McColl. “We’ve had all positive feedback so far.”

“We operate on a different business model,” says owner Rick Moore. “We invest in the latest, high quality equipment, and eliminate labour. That’s why we say we are cleaner, better and faster.”

There are three levels of amazing finishes. You can choose the level of dazzle that suits you best.

A typical automated car wash can clean about 10 cars per hour. Suds Express Wash can wash over 100 cars per hour, virtually eliminating wait time. Combined with the 11 self service bays, Suds Car Wash can handle nearly 200 vehicles per hour.

The talk is all about the shine. No matter what you drive or the condition of the finish, you will be amazed at how much better your vehicle will look after a visit to Suds Car Wash.

If you don’t have the time or energy to do it yourself then the three-minute Express Wash is the wash for you. Looking for the ultimate in total value? Choose Shine & Protect. Not only will you get everything offered in the other packages, your vehicle will receive special Tire Shine as well as Suds exclusive Fire & Ice Treatment. Fire & Ice Protectant leaves a lasting impression that will make your car look brighter than new. And if you run across more dirt later, just come back for 48 Hour Suds Clean Re-Wash for free! Suds Car Wash is easy on the environment too.

“Never waste your time in line or at least minimize it. Suds Express Wash will clean, wax and dry your car in approximately three minutes.”Suds Shine and Protect package will even shine your tires and give a free 48 hour rewash.

“Suds treats all water before it is sent to the sanitary sewer for further treatment,” points out Rick. “We also recycle the water that flows through the self-serve lines to keep them from freezing in the winter.”

Not a franchise, this is the second Suds location for Rick Moore. The first outlet in Kingston has been operating for 10 years and has won newspaper readers choice awards every year since opening. The same level of integrity is in the new Ottawa location, conveniently located in the heart of Nepean at 19999 Merivale Road, 1 km south of Hunt Club.

Every wash always ends with spot free water. This technique uses reverse osmosis to remove all solids from water. “Solids cause spots,” advises Rick. “Tap water has about 200 parts per million. Suds spot free water is always under five parts per million.” And An don’t forget friends and family. Suds Car Wash Gift Cards make a thoughtful and practical present for any occaCar sion. You can get Gift Cards online too, at www.sudscarwash. sion ca. Open Op seven days a week, Suds Car Wash Express Auto Wash from 7 AM – 8 PM. is available a

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 31, 2014

Sports – South Ottawa will soon be well represented half way around the world when Emma Dickinson and Holly Costanza arrive Down Under for the Australian Rules Football International Cup, a prestigious competition that only happens every three years. Dickinson and Costanza were chosen last fall to play on Canada’s Northern Lights women’s team, one of seven women’s teams that will compete in Melbourne, from Aug. 9 to 23. Canada is, in fact, sending two women’s teams. Having played for Canada before, Dickinson knows the upcoming experience will be the chance of a lifetime. It will mark her first time playing in a tournament of this scale, which will see 900 players from 18 nations battle it out for the championship title. This time, the stakes are higher, with 900 male and female players taking part and representing 18 countries. “There’s nothing quite like playing for your country, wearing that jersey and hearing the national anthem and linking arms with your teammates,” the 27-year-old Mooney’s Bay resident said. “It’s a pretty special feeling.” The tourney will showcase some exceptional football, including talented female players from Fiji, Tonga, the United States and Ireland, which took home the cup in 2011. “There’s no better test of yourself than matching up against your strongest opponent,” she said. She first heard about the sport when she was studying in Australia from 2007 to 2009, but didn’t try it until she returned to Ottawa and learned the Ottawa Swans Australian Football Club was putting together a women’s team. She went with a friend to a practice and “we fell in love with it at the first touch of the ball,” Dickinson recalled. “It was the perfect combination of our favourite bits of every other sport that we’d ever played, and we fell pretty hard and pretty fast for football.” Many players are drawn to the

Since then, the number of players has doubled, Dickinson said of the team, which trains and competes in home games at the Rideau Carleton Raceway within the Ontario Australian Football League. “The Ottawa Swans are a great club and I know that they have been so supportive of the

women’s side,” Dickinson said, adding that the club’s long-term vision includes the formation of a youth program that would serve as a natural feeder for the adult teams. “It would be great to get school-aged kids playing the sport and being exposed to it at a younger age,” said Dickinson, who also serves as assistant coach of the club’s women’s team. Her fellow Swan and national teammate Holly Costanza, who grew up in Uplands and now lives in Old Ottawa East, will also be going with the team to the International Cup. But after recently suffering a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in her knee, she won’t be able to play. “I’m still going to be able

to train with the girls, and I’ve come this far training with them this past year and a half,” said Costanza, who, while still mobile, will likely undergo surgery this winter. “I want to see it all the way through, even if it just means cheering for them on the side of the field.” As her teammate, coach and friend, Dickinson said Costanza’s inability to play is a big loss to the national team because of her versatility as a player. “The rest of us have pretty big shoes to fill to make up for not having her on the field with us,” Dickinson said. “Her being there as a supporter will be huge for all of us.” See SIX, page 21

Costanza will never forget the moment she found out last October she had been named to the national team. She’d awoken in the middle of the night and checked her email and learned the good news. “It’s even hard to describe it,� said Costanza. “It was just one of those things, like, ‘Who’s awake at this time of night that I can tell?’� Her first introduction to Aussie rules football came when Dickinson and another friend from their time at Brookfield High School asked Costanza to join the new Ottawa Swans women’s team. “I originally had no clue what this sport was,� Costanza said, adding that she watched YouTube videos to get a sense of what was involved in the fast-paced, high-scoring sport which is played 18 a side. Even before trying her hand at Aussie football, she was sold

on it when she met more Swans players. “It was like an instant click,� the 28-year-old said of their camaraderie. “I was hooked and I didn’t even know what I was hooked into yet.�

She initially felt somewhat intimidated about playing the full-contact sport. “But once you lay that first tackle, with the adrenalin kicking in, you just can’t wait to do it again. There’s no turning back,� Costanza said. The U.S. and Canada were recently each allowed to enter a

Lansdowne’s opening night gets transportation kudos Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - While opening weekend may be too early to claim the Lansdowne Park revitalization is a success, receiving kudos from a Friends of Lansdowne member isn’t a bad way to start. By all accounts, the experience in the Glebe on opening night for the RedBlacks on July 18 was a positive one. Accolades even poured in from Ian Lee, a prominent member and spokesman for the Friends group that bitterly opposed the business plan and contractual aspects of the redevelopment. “I am not trying to give (the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group) gratuitous kudos ... but I’ve got to give them credit because they must have run it very smoothly,” he said. “I’ll be frank, I was pleasantly surprised.” After almost four years of construction, more than 24,000 fans flooded Landowne and TD Place stadium for the sold out RedBlacks Canadian Football League home

opener on July 18. Another 14,593 fans flocked to the stadium two days later for an Ottawa Fury soccer game that set an attendance record for North American Soccer League. Lee said he stayed home, about two blocks away from Lansdowne, and didn’t check out the stadium, but he said the process of getting fans to and from the football game ran smoothly, from what he could see. There was no traffic congestion, Lee said, and his friends and neighbours agreed. NO GRIDLOCK

“There was no gridlock, panic, crisis of any kind,” Lee said. “It doesn’t mean that it can’t be fine tuned.” Hassan Madhoun agreed. The transportation demand manager for Lansdowne was breathing a sigh of relief that his message telling people to take their bicycle, the bus or a shuttle to the game got through to fans. Firsthand reports from Glebe residents and businesses confirm there

were very few motorists circulating around neighbourhood side streets searching for parking. The city handed out 51 parking tickets in the Glebe on RedBlacks’ game night and towed nine vehicles. Most of the complaints that came in related to people parking beyond the time limit for the zone or parking in an area marked for no stopping or parking, including private property. The city received just eight complaints to 311 bylaw services, plus one complaint related to selling parking in a private driveway, which is a zoning bylaw violation. Only four tickets were handed out during Sunday’s Fury game. “People got the message and they decided not to park in the Glebe,” Madhoun said. “I personally was encouraged to see that a lot of folks decided to take transit. That was a very positive surprise for me.” The overall number of people who took a bus or shuttle to the game hit OSEG’s target, Madhoun said. See BANK, page 27

trance, which is used as a shuttle loop. “We’re trying slowly changing the way people think of how to get to Lansdowne,� he said. One outstanding concern for Lee and other Glebe residents is the route shuttle buses use to get to the stadium. Lee said residents on Lakeside Avenue are disproportionately negatively affected because shuttles run down their residential side street on major game days. “Buses should run on arterial roads ...

not on Lakeside,� Lee said. All of the extra people who came to the Glebe by various modes created a lively, vibrant environment along Bank Street on opening day, said Andrew Peck, the executive director of the Glebe Business Improvement Area. “The feeling of the merchants was it was full of life,� he said. He’s still collecting feedback on whether that translated to an uptick in sales. Obviously, restaurants did brisk business, Peck said, but having a new demographic of potential customers introduced to Glebe retailers is a good thing, even if they didn’t spend money on opening night. “A business cannot thrive without traffic,� he said. “Having people come here who wouldn’t have come here otherwise is an opportunity.�

I am currently compiling a collection of photos of this historic day to share with the City of Ottawa Archives. If you have any photos of the opening celebration of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge you would like included in this collection, please submit them to steve.desroches@ottawa.ca. OC Transpo Service Improvements for Ward 22 With the opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge, I am pleased to share with you the OC Transpo service improvements in Ward 22. The Southwest Transitway is now connected with the Southeast Transitway via the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge. Routes 94 and 99 now cross the newly-opened bridge on the dedicated transit lanes, providing transit customers with a new connection between Riverside South and Barrhaven, easier access to shopping and schools, and new connections to transitway services. Route 94 trips are extended from Nepean Woods Station to Riverview Station (via priority bus lanes). Similarly, Route 99 is now extended from Riverview Station to the Nepean Woods and Marketplace Stations in Barrhaven. For details about the enhancements to Routes, 94, 99 and Route 144, please visit www.octranspo1.com. As well, School Services will be expanded with one trip being added from Leitrim Station to Ridgemont High School in the morning and one trip being added from Ridgemont High School to Leitrim Station in the afternoon to accommodate anticipated ridership demand. Resurfacing of Albion Road and Leitrim Road As many residents may have noticed, the resurfacing of sections of Albion Road and Leitrim Road has commenced. The resurfacing covers of Albion Road covers approximately a seven kilometre stretch from Lester Road to Tullamore Street. The project also includes fully paved shoulders. Leitrim Road will be resurfaced from Bowesville Road to Albion Road. 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 in late summer.

But he was surprised that most fans – 7,600 of them – took OC Transpo to Friday’s home opener instead of a larger proportion of people taking park-and-ride shuttles, as he predicted. OC Transpo fares are included with RedBlacks tickets. Madhoun estimates around 700 people biked to Lansdowne. While only 400 bikes were counted in the secure parking offered on site, OSEG staff did a rough count of the number of bikes locked around Lansdowne and concluded that another 300 or so chose to cycle, but not use the secure lock-up. There is always room for improvement, Madhoun said. There were a few hiccups with motorists trying to enter the park through the Queen Elizabeth Driveway en-

River Road traffic concerns raised following opening of bridge Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Kerry Mortimer watches as a large commercial truck blows by her along River Road. A stream of traffic follows in its wake. The mother of two has become increasingly concerned with what she says is a spike in commercial and commuter traffic on the scenic road following the recent opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge. “I’m worried about safety,” said Mortimer, whose children cross River Road which does not have crosswalks. HARD TURNS

With the boost in traffic flow, she suspects it will also become increasingly difficult to turn left onto the road from small side streets and driveways along that stretch. For that reason, she is calling on the city to take steps to restrict commuters from turning left onto River Road after crossing the bridge into Riverside South. Her ideas include installing signs that restrict left turns during the morning commute or limit River Road to local traffic only, and en-

forcing that signage. “The habit is being formed that they’re going to come up River Road,” said Mortimer, who has lived in the community for 14 years. “The day we were at the bridge opening I actually saw it open and then I saw all these cars line up to turn left onto River Road.” Likwise, Riverside South resident Katina Michelis said while the bridge provides a convenient connection, she has noticed a boost in traffic noise levels along River Road in the wake of its opening. “I was sold on this heritage road, that there’s not going to be traffic ... that it’s going to be routed elsewhere,” said Michelis, whose property backs onto River Road. “Now, just with the bridge opening, it seems to be the logical turning point. People turn and I hear every single car passing by at 80 kilometres an hour.” Some of her neighbours have also expressed concerned about the noise levels and question whether it could affect their ability to sell their homes, she said, adding for that reason, some type of sound barrier along the road would be welcome. “If you’re sitting there (in the backyard) and you have company and you’re trying to have a conversa-

tion, yeah, you realize you have to speak louder to be heard,” said Michelis, who has lived in the area for 13 years. “They’ve made that investment and they’re drawing attention to that, but also make sure you don’t neglect the care of those homes that back onto River Road over there.” But Gloucester-South Nepean

People turn and I hear every single car passing by at 80 kilometres an hour KATINA MICHELIS

Coun. Steve Desroches said there are no plans to implement signage to steer bridge traffic to Limebank Road in Riverside South, or to restrict River Road to just local traffic. “There are concerns that if you restrict turn movement there that motorists will use the retail centre (at Riverside South Plaza) to bypass or

they will cut through the community in order to access River Road,” he said, adding it would prove difficult to prohibit traffic on River Road as well as enforce the restrictions, Desroches said. “It is anticipated that we would see increased volumes along River Road,” he said, but added that signs have been placed at the bridge and on Riverside Drive south of Hunt Club Road encouraging residents to use Limebank Road. “So there’s tremendous benefits to motorists using Earl Armstrong and Limebank because (that route) has greater capacity and it has a higher speed limit along that,” Desroches said, adding that while city staff will continue to monitor traffic in the community, River Road is an arterial road that has been identified as part of the city’s transportation network. But Mortimer said these temporary signs are not the answer. “It’s a suggestion,” she said. “It’s not going to work. It’s a path of least resistance.” Though she acknowledged the challenges of enforcing permanent signs, she said any traffic restrictions “might make people think. Maybe the hope is that (River Road) ends up being so slow that people then

decide, ‘Oh, Limebank is better.’” Desroches also noted that motorists turning left at the east end of the bridge do face a shorter traffic light in the morning because there is a limited capacity for traffic on River Road. “So I think over time some residents will be frustrated with that and will opt for, again, a much more appealing and convenient route in terms of how traffic is moving,” he said. Desroches said other transportation projects are in the works that will relieve some of the traffic pressure in south Ottawa, which has seen major growth, such as work on Prince of Wales Drive, as well as upgrades to Strandherd Drive and Greenbank Road, the Airport Parkway and Bank Street.

John, the President and General Manager of the Ottawa Construction Association, has been with Ride the Rideau since he crossed the finish line on a recreational bike at the event’s 2010 inaugural ride. He borrowed a road bike for his second year and – finally converting into someone he would call an avid cyclist – purchased his own in year three.

“The doctor told me I had Barrett’s esophagus,” said De Vries. The condition led to the growth of a two-centimetre tumour. The good news was that the cancer was caught early, and that the surgery would effectively get it all. The irony, John said, was that he had spent years raising money for an endoscope, without knowing what it was really for. “The tables turned,” he said, “and the endoscope became my best friend that year.” Fully recovered, John is gearing up for his fifth ride this September 6 with his team, the OCA Riders, which has raised $336,323.45 for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital in the last four years. He’s gotten a lot of positive feedback since going public with his cancer diagnosis. “Three people came up to me and told me they’d gotten a scope after reading my story,” he said. “They were diagnosed and their doctors got them on the medication right away. That makes me feel really good.”

Arctic an eye-opening experience for students New Parks Canada partnership adds to trip Michelle Nash Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News- Immaculata High School student Michaela Norgren believes everyone should visit the Arctic at least once in their life. “To be in places people may not have walked or experienced in 100 years, the Arctic is unique -- there is no place like it,” Norgren said on July 24. The 17-year-old Alta Vista resident had been back for just one day from what she described as the experience of a lifetime, Students on Ice. The program takes high school students from around the world for a two-week adventure to the Arctic for a rare and informative learning opportunity. Norgren was one of five Ottawa students lucky enough to take part in the program this year. “It was such a humbling experience,” she said. When asked what she loved the most about the expedition, the young girl said it was hard to put into words. The one thing she did say she wants everyone in the world to know is that it’s a very special and delicate place that no one should take for granted. The experience, she added has confirmed her plans to not only pursue a career in environmental sciences, but to utilize her knowledge to help make the worlds better place.

Norgren’ recollection of her 14day journey was one echoed by all 87 of the students who participated. Fellow Ottawan and Students on Ice participant Jack Patterson said being in the Arctic made him more aware of the need for conservation. “We need to put the effort in,” he said. The Barrhaven student said he plans to reach out to friends and family to make small changes, in hopes that it catches on in his community. “Then the small changes can make a huge impact,” Patterson said. Since 2000, the Students on Ice Arctic expedition has influenced the lives of 3,000 students. To participate in the trip, it costs each student $10,000, which many receive help with through scholarships from Students on Ice and partners of the organization. Geoff Green, founder and leader of the expeditions, said even though he has been taking students to the Arctic for more than 14 years, every year he learns something new. After the trip, the education and support from Students on Ice does not end, Green added. He said the organization helps support students realize their educational goals, helps nurture prospects, gives the teenagers ideas and help with their next steps in life. “It’s everything from scholarship to personal help,” Green said. “If a student wants to call, we are there to listen.” Partnering for the first time this year with Parks Canada, the trip took

Michaela Norgren said she went on the trip of a lifetime, travelling to the Torngat Mountains National Park in Labrador and the southern and western coasts of Greenland with Students on Ice. the students from Ottawa to explore the communities, coasts, fiords and islands of the Torngat Mountains National Park in Labrador and the southern and western coasts of Greenland -- all while acquiring knowledge from 45 educators, scientists, artists, Inuit leaders and polar experts. Both Patterson and Norgren said learning in the environment was surreal and watching the scientists and teachers in the environment is better than anything they could have

learned in a classroom. “The teachers’ passion for learning was inspiring,” Norgren said. Green agreed. “To see experts in their field, and see how passionate they are -- that’s amazing,” Green said. The trip will result in more than just memories for the students.

Jewelry fundraiser strikes gold for new Ottawa hospice Thousands of dollars collected from jewelry donations Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - The generosity of the Kanata community and beyond came out in silver and gold for a unique fundraiser that earned more than $3,000 for Hospice Care Ottawa on July 22. The success of this first used jewelry sale has Kanata-based volunteers eager for their next event on Oct. 19, said the lead volunteer and founder of the event. Isabel, who prefers not to include her last name for security reasons, said the idea for the sale started with a spring review of her own accessories. “I thought, ‘look at all this jewelry, I’m getting rid of this,’” she said. Though she began thinking she could make herself some money, Isabel quickly decided to make a fundraiser out of the sale for Hospice Care Ottawa. Putting a call out to seniors’ homes, church groups and the Ruddy-Shenkman and Central West hospices, Isabel asked for donations of costume jewelry. “(Donors) were made aware that their jewelry was going to be sold for $5 each, so I didn’t want them to

More than 3,000 pieces of jewelry were donated to a jewelry fundraiser organized by Bellas Giving Hands in support of Hospice Care Ottawa. The event took place at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on July 22. give their prized possessions,” said Isabel. But the community decided it had more to give. Isabel and her crew of volunteers, named Bellas Giving Hands, received more than 3,000 pieces of jewelry, some of which ended up being made of genuine silver, gold and pearls. “They brought all their pearls and

trinkets and treasures that they had,” said Isabel. “I mean they were coming with jewelry boxes full.” Volunteers made sure to check with donors that they meant to give their fine jewelry, she said. But donors were positive they wanted to make the donation. The sale took place at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice at 110 Mc-

Curdy Dr., and volunteers were overwhelmed by the number of people, said Isabel. “It was beautiful,” she said. “I’ve gotten emails from people saying they thought it was going to be junk, but they were amazed that it was more a boutique-style event,” with displays donated by a local vendor. The event raised $3,300, all of

which went to Hospice Care Ottawa. Community members are continuing to make donations and purchase jewelry left over from the sale. “The community really pulled through,” said Isabel. The volunteer group is now collecting for their next sale, this time including belts, scarves and purses along with donated jewelry.

Operation Come Home takes root with Ottawa farm program Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Their employment runs until the end of October. “They’re not all going to continue farming, but it will help them to build their resumes,” Mcclelland said. “They are accountable and taking on a lot of leadership.” There has been little turnover this year, Mcclelland said, so the crew has been able to work efficiently to harvest the variety of vegetables they have grown. The goal for the program is that it can become self-sustaining in the future, she said. It received funding for the first two years, 2013 and this year, from a Trillium grant. Melissa Cliff, 22, heard about the program through her teachers at Operation Come Home, where she has been completing her high school program. “I really like Operation Come Home programs so I knew it would be a good fit for me,” she said. “But I really enjoy the farm atmosphere, and I like waking up early in the morning and starting work.”

She said she probably wouldn’t have considered an agricultural career before, but has enjoyed the farm work so much that she wants to explore the possibility of working on a farm in the future. One member of the farm crew has even has created his own produce business. David Sendybyl, 24, is also a part of Operation Come Home’s Innovation Works program, which helps fund start-up entrepreneur businesses. He’s spent extra time and on weekends to plant radishes, squash and pumpkins in his own portion of the FarmWorks plot. Next year, he plans to use a portion of his start-up funding to open his own quarter acre plot at the Just Food Farm, and plant a variety of produce. He also plans to make his own hot sauce and jarred spicy eggplant, which is “awesome on sandwiches,” he said. “It’s a healthy job,” Sendybyl said. “We’re here, outside and learning.”

Melissa Cliff, 22, works on harvesting tender green beans on July 24 at the Operation Come Home FarmWorks plot in Blackburn Hamlet. The FarmWorks program hires six youth to work on their plot of the Just Food Farm, and sells the food to businesses and individuals who purchase shares.

News - Every day at 7 a.m. youth workers from Operation Come Home arrive at the Just Food Farm in Blackburn Hamlet, ready to start their work day. Six youth are employed by the FarmWorks program, open to Operation Come Home clients, ages 16 to 30. Operation Come Home serves street at-risk youth – some of whom don’t have a stable home – out of an office on Gloucester Street in downtown Ottawa. It’s a different kind of job for the youth, who are all under 25 years old. They work from 7 a.m. to noon, rain or shine, at the farm on Pepin Court. The farm is NCC property and run by Just Food; several different community farming programs operate out of the farm. The FarmWorks program has a little less than one hectare plot. “They’re really getting into

it,” said social support worker Carolyn Mcclelland. “A lot of people are hands on learners, and they’re learning by doing.” Almost everything the farm crew has learned – from installing irrigation systems to planting seedlings – is brand new to them, Mcclelland said. The crew is responsible for every aspect of their plot on the farm. The program is funded by corporate and private purchases of farm shares. Each share receives a certain amount of produce from each harvest, and includes a range of vegetables. This type of structure is called community supported agriculture, often referred to as a CSA. One downtown restaurant, Grounded Kitchen & Coffeehouse, has purchased food grown through the FarmWorks program. Two youth peer leaders started their employment in May and began crop plans for the season; four farm crew joined them in mid-May.

It was hard to beat the heat on Northcote farm MARY COOK Memories Mother had been working in the garden before dinner, before the sun was at its highest, and she came in with the dish pan full of fresh yellow beans, bunches of carrots, and some green onions. Of course, she weeded while she was out there too, which added to her complaints about the heat. It was almost pitch dark in the kitchen. When the heat of the summer came with a vengeance, Mother immediately

began the almost impossible task of keeping the house cool. Her ďŹ rst job was to take quilts out of the trunk where they had been stored after winter, and cover each window in the kitchen. There they hung, shutting out the blasts of the sun that hit the old house from early morning until after our suppers at night, and turning the room almost pitch black. To let a bit of light into the kitchen, Mother took a safety pin and R0012816965

fastened up the tiniest corner of each blanket, to take away from the total darkness. Father wasn’t the least bit happy with this arrangement, and said there had to be other ways to cool down the house. “Yes,â€? Mother retorted sharply, “if we had electricity, we could have fans.â€? As if poor Father could do anything about that. It was hard enough to ďŹ nd the money to buy coal oil for the lamps. Of course, there was no covering the windows in the summer kitchen. That would have served no purpose with the cook stove blasting away from early morning until after supper. So the main kitchen was always the coolest room in the house,

and that was where Mother had collapsed that day, with her face beat-red, and the sweat rolling off the end of her nose. The noon meal was cooking out in the summer kitchen, and Father and the brothers had already washed up at the basin on the bench at the back door. When they opened the door where Mother, Audrey and I were trying to cool off, a blast of hot air swept into the room like a blowtorch. “Shut the door,� Mother yelled. With great effort Mother got off the chair, and as if bracing herself for battle, stood in front of the door separating the two kitchens, making sure Audrey and I were right behind her, and

the three of us went out like a bolt of lightning to keep the cool air in, and the heat out. Of course, there was no such thing as a salad plate for dinner at noon hour. Father had to have his meat, potatoes, vegetables, and dessert regardless what the big Supertest thermometer said, nailed to the outside frame of the back door. Father and the brothers loaded their plates as if it was their last meal on earth. And as soon as their plates were cleaned, they loaded up again. “How anyone can eat in this weather is beyond me,� Mother said, as she cut a raisin pie into four pieces. See MOTHER, page 39

A

lways had fans in New York,� Mother said, sitting in a straight-back chair in the darkened kitchen. “Just plugged them in and away they went. Cooled the whole house down in minutes.� Well, there would be no fans on the farm in Northcote. With no electricity, we had to rely on other ways to keep the old log house cool. Sometimes they worked, but most times, the heat of the summer won out. The Findlay Oval had already been rolled out to the summer kitchen on two logs, and we tried to keep the door closed between the summer and regular kitchens, but that didn’t always work either.

Mother must be fanned Sound of Light moves to Ottawa River Continued from page 37

We three headed back into the cooler kitchen, which by noon hour was fast taking on the outside heat of the day, but still wasn’t as hot as where Father and the brothers were forking in their dinner. Mother again collapsed into a chair, and Audrey stretched out on the creton couch, and I stood like a stick not knowing exactly where I fit into this picture. I sure hated to miss a meal, but I wanted to stay close to Mother just in case she passed out, which my sister Audrey said could happen when you were overcome with the heat. I picked up a copy of the Renfrew Mercury and stood beside Mother’s chair and fanned her with all my might. She stopped wiping her face with the tail of her apron, and sighed with a contentment we hadn’t seen demonstrated all day. When one arm got tired I switched to the other, and I wondered if the air I was creating was anything like the fans Mother had in New York. Well, it must have come close, because Mother told me to go to the cupboard and bring her down the sugar bowl with the egg money in it. I felt my way over to the cupboard, barely making out the bowl in the darkened room. Mother took the lid off and reached in, bring-

ing out a coin. I could feel it was a whole nickel. “If it ever cools off, we’ll take a run to Briscoe’s and you can get yourself an ice cream cone,” she said. FIRST EGG MONEY

It was the first time I had ever been given anything out of the egg money. There was no such thing as allowances back then. I had no idea how long Mother sat in the cooler room, but when I came down stairs after going up to my bedroom and tying the nickel in the corner of my hanky, joining the few other coins I had accumulated over a very long time, she was out in the summer kitchen, redding up the dinner table. Her face was getting red again, and she was swiping it with the corner of her apron once more. But there was work to be done. Her rest was over. I wondered if she would again, later in the day, go back to the cooler kitchen, and would I, once more, be able to use the Renfrew Mercury as a fan, and would I then get another nickel out of the egg money sugar bowl for my effort? All I could do was wait for the hot summer day to once again take its toll, as I pictured my fast growing wealth upstairs in the corner of my hanky.

News - Ottawa residents will have a unique way to watch and support a local hospital at this year’s Casino du Lac-Leamy Sound of Light show. This year, Casino du Lac-Leamy has changed the location of its annual fireworks festival from the casino grounds to the Canadian Museum of History on the shore of the Ottawa River in Gatineau. The show will take place from Aug. 2 to 16 and as an added bonus, the Montfort Hospital Foundation has partnered with the casino to host a fundraiser at Nepean Point. According to the foundation’s president, Christine Sigouin, the fundraiser will offer a chance to view the light show in Ottawa; all while helping raise funds for the hospital. “It will be an amazing site with a spectacular view,” Sigouin said. “It’s the opportunity to come out for a great cause.” Tickets to view the show at Nepean Point are $5, with all the proceeds going to the foundation and can be purchased before the show or by calling the foundation at 613-748-4920. Children under 11 are free. Located directed behind the National Gallery of Canada, Sigouin said she thinks this year the new site offers Ottawa residents a great opportunity to view the festival a little closer to

home. “It will be an amazing view, people won’t be disappointed,” she said. The gates open at 6 p.m. and the foundation plans to have activities to entertain guests before the show begins. However, if people prefer to cross the river, Casino du Lac-Leamy spokeswoman Erika Lalonde said there will be plenty to do on the Gatineau side at the official Sound and Light show site. This year, the pre-show activities include a SAQ Bistro and SAQ Bistro Express, dinner and show packages with the National Bank Gourmet Evenings and a number of food trucks on the site for the first time. The site opens at 6 p.m. There will be entertainment on the Tim Hortons stage right up until the firework show, and a new Gladius Game Zone for children. The firework show starts at 9:15 p.m. and will be launched from the Ottawa River. This year there will be four new teams from two new countries and two returning countries participating. *Glorius Entertainment Production Ltd of Hong Kong will present on Aug. 2. *Garden City Display Fireworks of Canada will present on Aug. 6. *Grupo Luso Pirotecnia of Portugal will present on Aug. 9 *Sugyp SA of Switzerland will

present on Aug. 13 *The Casino du Lac-Leamy’s Grande finale will take place on Aug. 16 The winner will be revealed during the final show. Tickets at the museum are also $5 per person, per show with children 11 years-old and under free. Spectators are invited to bring their chairs and blankets to watch the show. Temporary road and sidewalk closures during the event on Aug. 2,6, 9, 13 and 16 include: *Sections of the recreational trails along both side of the Ottawa River will be closed and patrolled from 7 to 10 p.m. in the following areas: the Ottawa River pathway between Bank Street and the locks behind Parliament Hill, between Alexandra Bridge and the locks via Pioneer Road, under Major’s Hill Park, the Voyageurs pathway between Victoria Street and the Alexandra Bridge *The Alexandra Bridge --both traffic lanes and the pedestrian boardwalk -- will be closed from 8:30 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. * Murray Street at MacKenzie Avenue and Sussex Drive will be closed during the shows. Animals and sporting equipment (bicycles, rollerblades and skateboards) are prohibited on the site. For more information, call 819771-3389 or visit feux.qc.ca.

Peaches and cream Pavlovas named for famed ballerina Lifestyle - The Pavlova dessert was named for famed Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, after her visit to New Zealand and Australia. Mini meringues are best made on a dry, not humid day and can be made a day or two ahead and stored in a sealed container. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Baking time: 50 minutes. Standing time: 2 hours. Makes 18 Pavlovas. INGREDIENTS

Pavlovas: • 2 egg whites, at room temperature • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cream of tartar • 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) salt • 125 ml (1/2 cup) granulated sugar Peaches and cream filling: • 125 ml (1/2 cup) whipping cream • 15 ml (1 tbsp) granulated sugar • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) vanilla • 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced, peeled

peaches • 18 thin slices of peeled peaches • Fresh mint leaves PREPARATION

Draw eighteen five-centimetre (two-inch) circles, at least five centimetres (two inches) apart, onto two pieces of parchment paper cut to fit baking sheets. Flip the paper over. Pavlovas: In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar 15

ml (1 tbsp) at a time; beat until the mixture is stiff and glossy. Spoon about 15 ml (1 tbsp) of meringue onto each circle, making a good indentation with the back of a spoon into each. Place the baking sheets on two oven racks in 120 C (250 F) oven. Bake for about 50 minutes, switching halfway through, until crisp on the surface. Turn off the oven, and open the door a crack. Let the meringues cool for about two hours. Peaches and cream filling: In a small deep bowl, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until thick. Fold in the diced peaches. Immediately fill the meringues with the cream filling. Top each with a peach slice and mint leaf. Serve immediately. Foodland Ontario

foundations, cultural organizations and aboriginal communities. “We accompany these institutions in their development of digital strategies, in the definition and design of projects and in the development of digital and interactive environments of all size,” Hilario said. For the application developer, he said his favourite part of the app is the opportunity to listen to the memories of the people who contribute to the history of Vanier while being physically on the site.

KEEPING MEMORIES

“It adds so much to the experience and helps to keep the memory of the place,” Hilario said. “Each resource is linked to a point of interest located on a map of Vanier. This allows the user to be physically in the area and being able to receive content based on their location via mobile devices.” The developer added that, to him, he believes that now that the buildings, streets and symbols in Vanier have a voice and a memory or story to tell, it will enhance the Franco-Ontarian culture of the neighbourhood. “How many times do we see a mural and ask what does it commemorate or what is the history of that building? Now with the Muséopark app the stories are all there and you can even find more info, archives or even related resources to what is in front of you,” Hilario said. Smartphone users can download the app at either the App Store or the Google Play Store.

News - There is a new way to walk around the neighbourhood thanks to a new app released by Vanier Muséopark. The free application is available for both iPhone and Android, and offers users the opportunity to learn about Vanier’s history with some help from their smartphone. Created by Gatineau developers Idéeclic, the app allows users to take guided tours throughout Richelieu Park, or along Beechwood Avenue, Montreal Road and McArthur Avenue. The museum worked closely with Antonio Hilario, one of the company’s designers and project manager, on the app. “By launching this easy-to-use app on their mobile devices, users will have access to a huge collection of information, archives and oral history close to hand,” Hilario said. Prior to having its own mobile app, Muséopark offered maps, short tours and historic facts on its website for people to explore at their leisure -- this new mobile feature has now taken all that research on the move. The museum provided Hilario with all this research, content, maps and audio files for use in the development of the mobile application. According to Hilario, Idéeclic has a history of working with museums and organizations focused on communication, outreach, awareness and educational objectives for many different audiences. Over the years, the company has partnered with more than 80 museums, universities, libraries, archives,

even impossible — to rehome. One of the key resources the OHS relies on to relieve the population pressure and the stress that it creates is foster programs. Recovering animals, stressed animals, and others not quite ready for adoption need a place to stay outside the shelter. Cats, of course, are often the biggest concern and when there are no temporary homes, it is a huge problem. The OHS created the Kitten Brigade, a fast-track foster volunteer program to open up more homes in this busy season. Currently, the OHS is short some recruits for the brigade this year.

Overcrowding is a huge threat in animal sheltering. It’s among the most detrimental factors to animal health, stressing the animals, not to mention the staff and volunteers. Stressed animals are much more likely to become ill. Animals that are ill can’t be adopted and a downward cycle is created. Unlike many humane societies, the Ottawa Humane Society serves as a municipal animal shelter under a purchase of service agreement with the city. Also, not all shelters are openadmission shelters. That means the OHS takes in all animals at all times, no matter how old, sick or otherwise difficult — or

Cheryl Jensen named head of Algonquin Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Cheryl Jensen said she plans to help Algonquin College maintain its position as one of the leading post-secondary institutions in Canada. James McIntosh, the chair of Algonquin College’s board of governors, announced the appointment on July 24. Jensen said she started working at Mohawk because she wanted to do something important with her ap-

plied engineering degree. Since she started with the college in Hamilton in 1983, Jensen said she has been committed to providing democratic access to international students as well as improving agreements between the college and industry partners like Hydro One. PARTNERSHIPS

She added she plans to continue working on partnerships after officially taking the position on Aug. 25. She also intends to look at new

ways to increase the college’s digital presence, “although Algonquin is already a leader in that area,� she said. McIntosh said a selection committee had looked at dozen of candidates internationally since former president Kent MacDonald tendered his resignation in March. The college hired a consultant to help sift through the 50 expressions of interests and whittle down the candidates. “This is an exciting time at Algonquin,� McIntosh said during

the announcement on July 24. “We wanted a candidate who was passionate about teaching, patience, integrity and learning and we have found that in Cheryl.� McIntosh added that Jensen was very active in the Hamilton community and received the Hamilton YWCA Women of Distinction Award for being a trailblazer. Jensen taught in the chemical engineering program at Mohawk for 16 years and holds a masters of education and a bachelor of science from McMaster University.
