El-Chantiry said after seeing the website and tweets posted under Ahmadzai’s name, he questions the candidate’s mental capacity and health. “Anybody who would speak out like this without any fact, without any knowledge... I question his ability,” El-Chantiry said. “I don’t want to discourage anyone from running (for elected office) ... I consider it an honour because we live in a democracy where anyone can run, no matter who you are,” he said. “The problem is, sometimes the unfortunate part – it’s not required to have even mental stability.” El-Chantiry questioned whether there was a process to disqualify a candidate from the election. Cathy Bergeron of Elections Ottawa said the only thing that would prevent someone from being able to stand for the Oct. 27 municipal election would be if they lost Canadian citizenship or were no longer living in Ottawa and were no longer the spouse of someone who lives in or owns property in Ottawa. People convicted under the Criminal Code are unable to stand for the next two general elections following their conviction, Bergeron said. Thompson was less concerned about the post, saying that voters can draw their own conclusions about Ahmadzai based on what he posts online. “My personal feeling is when things come out like that ... just to let it go. The minute you talk about it, you give credence to a bunch of malarkey,” Thompson said. “In my opinion it’s one of those items that there is no validation to it,” he said. “In this day and age you can expect people to use the electronic media to spout off, but in a rural term, it’s hogwash, as far as I’m concerned.”

who are believed to have stole millions from taxpayers.” City solicitor Rick O’Connor said the allegations in the post are of a criminal nature, so he forwarded the matter to the Ottawa police. “I’m no criminal lawyer ... (but) these seem to run the gamut from criminal theft to criminal defamation or even cyber bullying,” O’Connor said. Ahmadzai, 21, registered for the municipal election on April 2. His website says his family moved to Ottawa from Afghanistan when he was nine and that he is well known in the city for his volunteerism with Ecology Ottawa, ACORN Ottawa, the Ottawa Riverkeeper, Oxfam Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. In a speech posted on his website, Ahmadzai claims he felt he “had accomplished” the extradition of Canadian war criminal Omar Khadr to Canada because he debated the matter in a high-school class. Deans said she isn’t going to let the matter slide. “I think the city needs to take this seriously,” Deans said. “This is completely unfounded and completely baseless.” If there is no legal recourse the city can take, Deans said she will seek legal advice about possibly launching a civil defamation case. “I’m not going to have that hanging out there. Obviously there are real issues here,” she said. “Frankly, I’m furious about it. In politics your name is very, very important.” Deans and other councillors accused in the post – which includes Rainer Bloess (Innes), Doug Thompson (Osgoode), Shad Qadri (Stittsville), Peter Hume (Alta Vista), Eli El-Chantiry (West Carleton-March) and Diane Holmes (Somerset) – say they’ve never had any interaction with Ahmadzai.

Ottawa fire crews snuff out dryer fire Firefighter suffers minor cut to hand Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A lint-clogged dryer duct is to blame for a fire that caused $40,000 in damages at a high-rise

apartment building in Heatherington last week. Emergency crews were called to 1455 Heatherington Rd, near Albion Road, around 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 12 by an alarm company that services the 14-storey building. “When the crews arrived they had smoke in the front lobby so they issued a second alarm right away,� fire department spokesman Capt. Marc

Messier said. Evacuated occupants were sheltered in OC Transpo buses while firefighters “advanced ... into the laundry room where they found heavy smoke and then they found the fire, which was located in a dryer inside the laundry room,� said Messier. The flames were quickly extinguished.

While checking to ensure the fire had not spread into the walls and ceiling, fire crews discovered one of the ducts leading into the ceiling from the dryer was full of lint, Messier said. “It was smouldering so they basically took down the whole duct work ... and managed to get it all out.� One firefighter was treated for a minor cut on the hand.

Dig into Ottawa’s past at public archeological excavations Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A few layers of dirt and grass at Vincent Massey Park are all that lie between the present and a culture that dates back at least 4,000 years.

Artifacts were first found at that spot in the park in 2009 ahead of work to reinforce the O-Train bridge. An archeological survey along the sides of the path in the area, where heavy equipment was going travel in order to access the bridge, led to the recovery of artifacts, including arrowheads, scraping tools and shards of broken pottery.

Police guns and gangs unit investigate city’s 26th shooting Continued from page 1

It was actually the sound of a prized football toppling over in the downstairs living room that woke Dave, though he had no idea yet it had been knocked over by a second bullet that pierced the wall, ricocheted off a football helmet before hitting the ball. “When I first (saw) the hole (in the master bedroom) and I woke up my husband … I figured it was the guy behind us (in the attached house) who drilled the hole,” Carol said, adding that it wasn’t until she went out to walk the dog around 8:30 a.m. that she learned there had been a shooting at 6 a.m. “I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” Carol said. “I turned white. I had to sit down when I found out it wasn’t a drill hole. It was a bullet hole. “I’m still shook up about it.” The city’s 26th shooting of the year, which Ottawa police confirm was a targeted attack, woke up many in the Quarry co-operative housing complex at 3275 McCarthy Rd., near Paul Anka Drive, which is a neighbourhood of attached homes. Bullets were fired into two homes as well as the Brown’s, including a vacant house currently being repainted. Another bullet entered the house next door where a mother and her son were sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. Investigators say they are fairly confident that the person who pulled the trigger intended to hit the house where the mother and child were sleeping. “That was, we believe, the intended target, that residence, but not necessarily those occupants,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the police guns and gangs section. The hypothesis police are currently working on is that the shooter had come for the previous tenants. Bryden did not know how long ago they lived in the unit. “Whoever pulled that trigger was looking for a certain person or a group of people,” said Bryden. “That’s the neighbourhood where the intended victims were supposed to be.” While Bryden said his unit hasn’t responded to a shooting in that area for some time, he said

ERIN MCCRACKEN

Dave Brown points to a bullet hole above his side of the bed at the Quarry housing co-operative where he and his wife live at 3275 McCarthy Rd. Bullets were fired into his home and two nearby residences around 6 a.m. on Aug. 17. The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit is investigating. street gang members and their associates are known to reside or hang out in the vicinity of Hunt Club Road, Paul Anka Drive and McCarthy Road. Guns and gangs officers are now in the process of examining surveillance video of the area as well as re-canvassing the neighbourhood for eyewitness accounts. Initial reports and descriptions of possible suspects were “vague,” Bryden said. “Sometimes a few days pass and somebody becomes a little bit more comfortable, or they remember something.” When the Browns pieced together what had happened, they quickly called police to their home. While the Browns said the neighbourhood where they have lived for about 35 years is very family oriented, they have had growing concerns about the Hunt Club area. “I’m not concerned with safety but it’s gotten bad in the last 15, 20 years,” Dave noted. “Too many non-desirables have moved in ... to the whole area.” Still, they have no plans to let the shooting

impact how they live their lives. Asked if he wants to move in the wake of the recent gun violence, Brown said, “Hell no. Where you going to go? What community doesn’t have something? There’s no sense in moving. “ Erin Kenny, who lives nearby in the same housing co-op, had planned to walk her dog right around the time the shots rang out. Her dog, thankfully, slept in. The gun fire woke her up. Her husband, who was already awake, said he heard a single gunshot, followed by several bullets fired in rapid succession. “I wasn’t sure (what I heard),” Kenny said. “I initially assumed it was kids with fire crackers, because that happens sometimes.” She went outside an hour later and one laneway in between two rows of housing was cordoned off by police. Despite the gun violence, Kenny said the incident will do little to deter her from living her life, and she plans to continue walking her dog

late in the evening. “I walk her at midnight by myself,” she said of her miniature poodle, Sweetie. And she said she and many of her neighbours have no plans to let the recent incident affect the way they live. “Everyone’s attitude is the same. They’re not going to change because of it,” she said. “They’re not going to stop the way they live because of it.” The co-op neighbourhood is very family oriented, and children can often be seen playing together, said Kenny. “That’s why we moved here. I feel safe.” Carol’s husband suggested they might as well wait to plaster over the bullet holes in their living room and bedroom, since they had planned to eventually to paint the spaces again sometime in the future. But Carol said she is unwilling to keep the bullet holes around. “‘No, I want the house plastered now,’” she said she told her husband, “because just looking at those I don’t sleep well. I didn’t sleep well last night at all.” The head of the police guns and gangs unit expressed concern that this year’s tally of shootings is closing in on the 30 instances of gun violence last year. “Obviously for me we’re way too close. The lower the number obviously the better,” Bryden said, adding that the city is closing in on the 30 to 35 shootings that occur on average every year over the past five years. “I wouldn’t say we’re experiencing any increase at this point.” Police have also made “fantastic headway” so far this year in combating gun violence, Bryden said, adding that police have seized 44 crime guns so far in 2014. There have also been significant arrests of “key players in our world of street gangs,” he said. “We are fighting back.” Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050, or make an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Next step in accused killer’s case to involve pre-trial meeting Next public court date scheduled for September Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – The case against an 18-year-old man charged with the second-degree murder of a St. Patrick’s High School student just before school let out for the summer will involve a judicial pre-trial meeting next month. Devontay Hackett appeared again by video on Aug. 14 during his fourth court appearance since his arrest on July 11, about a month after Brandon Volpi died from stab wounds he suffered outside a downtown Ottawa hotel just hours after his prom on June 7. Hackett’s lawyer, Joseph Addelman, requested time be set aside on Sept. 18 for a judicial pre-trial conference, during which a judge and lawyers from both sides typically meet

The second-degree homicide case against 18-year-old Devontay Hackett continues to work through an Ottawa criminal court. The teen will next appear by video on Sept. 29. “to consider the possibility of settling or simplifying the issues and determining questions of liability, what remedy a party seeks, and the estimated duration of the hearing,”

according to the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General’s website. These meetings are closed to the public. Following that step, Ad-

delman’s client will appear in court by video on Sept. 29. Hackett, his hands clasped in front of him, said little, only commenting when his lawyer said he would see him in a few

days time, on Aug. 19. Friends and family of Volpi quietly looked on during the proceedings. The case is being prosecuted by assistant Crown attorney

Mike Boyce, who was not present at the recent court date. Hackett is being held in the maximum security area of the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

Let’s not stop the train

P

remier Kathleen Wynne was in town recently to help Mayor Jim Watson celebrate the halfway mark of construction on the Confederation line tunnel. She also re-affirmed the province’s commitment to funding the second phase of the light rail project, and both Wynne and Watson took time to push the federal government to make a similar pledge. Ottawa-OrlÊans MP Royal Galipeau would only go so far as saying when a plan for Phase 2 was presented, it would be considered in due course by the federal government. The push by the mayor and the premier may be political theatre – Watson is seeking re-election this fall – but the current predicament should not be ignored by voters in Ottawa. The $2.5-billion Phase 2 is scheduled to begin sometime after the initial Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Road section is completed in 2018. Moving forward with light rail, ensuring trains are running from Bayshore to OrlÊans, is of vital importance to the future of the city. As Ottawa grows, it will become

more important with each passing year for residents to be served by an efficient mass transit system. With that in mind, city council and the province must be willing to acknowledge the possibility that federal funding for the project – which would amount to around $975 million – won’t be made available. The recent attitude of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has been to steer clear of direct investment in areas it believes are of provincial responsibility. It’s difficult to say that funding a project in the capital wouldn’t be treated differently, but the city and province can’t afford to wait around for federal money to be made available. Plan B needs to be determined. Whether that means moving forward with one leg of Phase 2 or another is up to council to decide, but failing to establish an alternative, one that isn’t dependent upon federal funding, would be negligent. Ottawa needs a transit system built for the 21st century, whether the federal government wants to play along or not.

No shortage of advice for road warriors

I

n the summer many of us become Ontario road warriors. We discover new roads and rediscover old ones. On the old roads there are always changes, some for the good, some not so much. The roads themselves are often better. The Trans-Canada, Highway 17, heading north and west has some rough spots, but it is so much better than it used to be. The continual addition of passing lanes has made the driving easier and safer, not to mention less tense. It is reassuring, when stuck behind somebody going slow (meaning: at the speed limit), to know that a passing lane will open up just a couple of minutes. The knowledge makes us more patient and safer drivers. There has also been good work

Mom, unplugged in the wild

D

espite my dodgy back, I took three kids camping on my own last week. I knew it would be a challenge to be camping solo with the offspring, even more so when I found out I had no cell phone coverage. At first, the idea of being completely disconnected from the world made me nervous. I was nervous for security reasons, but also jittery because I wasn’t sure what I’d do cut off from everybody for a week. But then an amazing thing happened – with one exception, I didn’t look at my phone for seven days. And it felt great. With the phone turned off, I felt a weight lift, like I was really on vacation for the first time in forever. Disconnected from newsfeeds, I wasn’t compelled to keep on top of all the details of my friends, my family and the world. It created simplicity. It also generated creativity. I had a paper notebook in which

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse to write my thoughts, old school. At the beginning of the week, I found myself commentating on the world around me in a series of fewer than 140-character blurbs, social media style. Things like, “The raccoons are bold, but I’m bolder,” and “Just made bannock on the fire for a worthy audience,” and “Drinking Busch beer in the bush.” By the end of the week, however, I was writing, by hand, extended essays about my thoughts, my family and life, generally. Being unplugged forced me to think more deeply, offering me perspective and clarity. But the best part of being offline for the better part of the week was the improved relationship with my

children. We were able to have real, in-depth conversations. When discussing their newly discovered hobby of fishing, we couldn’t fact check “fish at Lac Philippe” on Google in the middle of the campfire. We were forced to brainstorm and guess, hypothesize and debate possibilities. It was a rich dialogue so often lacking when we’ve got the answers at our finger tips. Without the constant interruption of a blinking or a beeping or a time check, we could remain in the moment. We told progressive stories around the campfire and wrote postcards and sang songs. The kids noticed a difference in mom, too. Not only was I more present, I was more relaxed. Without the phone, I didn’t have to be multitasking or thinking about irrelevant things or worry about other people’s trials and tribulations. The children didn’t feel they were constantly interrupting me, as often can be the case at home when the smartphone

chance to start a conversation, I often do. But I realized on this trip that, too often, the little computer in my pocket has been acting as a barrier to the possibility of speaking to people in my geographic vicinity. I came back from my week without technology feeling more refreshed than I have in years. It wasn’t long before my phone started beeping and blinking once again. Everyone wanted to know how the vacation went, had I survived? People posted thoughts on work, life and politics. The first few days were an assault on my senses. I’m not too worried. Now that I know where I can escape from technology, I’m planning to make technology-free vacations a mandatory part of my life.

It’s important to know more about that resource so we can protect and manage it properly.” The area at the park where items have been recovered was likely where Aboriginal groups stopped over while portaging around nearby river rapids.

Ottawa fire crews responded to multiple 911 calls at 10:41 p.m. on Aug. 9 that flames were spotted at 93 Malhotra Crt., near Riverside and Uplands drives, north of Hunt Club Road. “Upon arrival crews declared heavy smoke and flames through the roof of 93 Malhotra Court and a second alarm assignment was dispatched,” fire officials said in a statement.

are believed to have been kept around the garage area on the premises, and after igniting, the flames spread to the roof of the house. “The single-family dwelling involved is a total loss,” officials said. Damages were estimated at $700,000. “Homeowners were not home at the time of the fire and will be displaced, but do not require victim support.” A neighbouring home was damaged from heat radiating from the blaze. No one was injured in the fire. Ottawa police, paramedics, Ottawa Hydro and Enbridge Gas also responded to the scene.

Family doctors are now able to have specialists at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario who work in the areas of anesthesiology, cardiology, chronic pain, general pediatrics, genetics, neurology and psychiatry, among several others, to consult on patient cases through eConsult. The service provides physicians and specialists with a secure way to communicate directly online. “What used to take weeks or months for an elective consultation can now be done in

minutes, relieving the stress of patient families and physicians, in the community and beyond,” Dr. Lillian Lai, a lead on the initiative and a CHEO cardiologist, said in a statement issued Aug. 13. In addition to fostering teamwork between family doctors and CHEO specialists, CHEO’s president and chief executive officer Alex Munter said, “This will be a benefit to patients in Ottawa but especially to those in eastern and northern Ontario, allowing families to get an exceptional CHEO patient experience without having to make a trip into the city.” Offered through the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, the Champlain BASE eConsult service – which stands for Building Access to Specialists through

eConsultation – was first used collaboratively in 2010 by the Ottawa Hospital, the Champlain LHIN, the Winchester District Memorial Hospital and the Bruyère Research Institute. Since July 1 of this year, specialists have responded within an average of two days to more than 3,400 cases through eConsult. The service now has 443 family doctors and nurse practitioners registered, providing access to 48 different specialties. In the pilot phase of the initiative, there were more than 400 eConsults “with results indicating 43 per cent of the cases resulted in avoidance of an unnecessary referral for the patient, which in turn has shortened the wait times for others,” CHEO said in a statement.

Young women learn firefighting ropes from the pros Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sophia Villeneuve, 15, of Riverside South carries out a fake baby with her partner Ryann Seiler, 15, of Stittsville, under the supervision of firefighting instructors Marie-Aude Grandmaitre, back left, and Shannon Gobey on Aug. 12. The teens were among 24 young women taking part in the Ottawa fire department’s annual basic firefighter training program for women ages 15 to 19.

News – Ryann Seiler and Sophia Villeneuve drop to their hands and knees and peer through their protective facemasks into the pitch black ahead. They shimmy forward each carrying an axe under a pretend cloud of smoke, keeping less than an arms-length apart as they look for a baby they must rescue. After a few minutes in the dark, the 15 year olds emerge from the structure carrying the doll. Their instructors MarieAude Grandmaitre and Shannon Gobey follow close behind wearing smiles on their faces. “Rescuing the baby was fun even though I missed it a couple of times, but she was there to help me,� Seiler said, referring to Villeneuve, her training partner. Teamwork was a huge component of the skills that 24 young women between the ages of 15 and 19 developed Aug. 11 to 15 while climbing an aerial ladder that rose high in the sky, forcibly entering doorways and conducting search and rescue training at the Ottawa Fire Services’ training division building on Industrial Avenue. Watching the girls on Aug. 12 learn what it takes to do the work she now does as a volunteer firefighter brought back memories for Gobey. She was among the first group of participants to take part in Ottawa’s inaugural Camp FITT, or Female Firefighters in Training five years ago.

Modelled after a similar camp in New York state, the program is designed to give young women the opportunity to test drive a career that typically attracts more men. Of the nearly 900 full-time suppression firefighters in Ottawa, 22 are women. And of the 450 volunteer firefighters in the Ottawa fire department, 29 are women. “We’re still around two per cent. That’s still a very low number,” said one of the program’s founders, acting Lieut. Louise Hine-Schmidt, a Britannia resident who works out of a station in Riverside South. “The idea is just to show more young women at an age when they’re deciding what they want to do for post-secondary and for a career that this is an opportunity for them,” said Hine-Schmidt, a 15-year firefighting veteran and one of Ottawa’s first three women firefighters. “It’s not about getting more women firefighters, it’s about showing them they can if they choose.” At 19, Gobey had been hesitant to consider firefighting as a career, thinking it was a man’s job. But thanks largely to the encouragement of her father, Dennis Gobey, a now-retired Ottawa fire platoon chief she enrolled in the camp. “The first day (of the training) I knew what I wanted to do,” the Kars resident said. “Camp really opened my eyes to what firefighting truly is.” She went on to successfully

complete Algonquin College’s pre-service firefighter training program, and last October she was hired as a volunteer firefighter with the North Gower Fire Department. Villeneuve and Seiler hope to follow in her footsteps, especially after the experiences they had at camp. “It’s awesome,” said Seiler, a Stittsville resident, who was looking forward to putting out a controlled car fire during the training session.

Some people think I’m not strong enough, but I’m going to prove them wrong. I think I am. SOPHIA VILLENEUVE

Her firefighting partner didn’t know what to expect when she arrived at the training facility. “But I really love it, and I also love the fact that you get to help people during firefighting,” said Villeneuve, who lives in Riverside South. “Rescuing the baby today, we got to experience that.” Her family is very supportive of her dream, while others expressed their doubts. “Some people think I’m not strong enough, but I’m going to prove them wrong,” she said. “I think I am.” Each girl who participates in the program often learns something invaluable about themselves, their strengths

and their ability to work together and overcome challenges. “Did you know the most important thing for me in this camp is I watch these girls the first day, they’re nervous, they’re shy, they’re scared and by the end of the week their confidence has just gone through the roof?” Hine-Schmidt said. Watching the teens eagerly await their next challenge, Gobey said the camp is an ideal way to motivate a next generation of young women to find passion in something, just as she did. “It may not be firefighting for some of them, but just helping them find their direction,” she said. “It really meant the world to me finding what I was meant to do.” The Camp FFIT application process is open from March to May each year.

Dog rescued in high-rise fire Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A dog was rescued by Ottawa firefighters after fire broke out in a bedroom in a fifth-floor unit of a high-rise apartment building in Heatherington on Monday morning. The dog’s owner and tenant of the unit wasn’t home when

fire crews forced their way into the burning apartment unit at 2995 Albion Rd. North, near Walkley Road, after multiple 911 calls came in at 10:57 a.m. “He’s OK,” one Ottawa firefighter at the scene said just as tenants were being allowed to return to their units around 12:30 p.m.

A mother and her fivemonth-old baby and a oneand-a-half year-old child were discovered in a smokefilled stairwell and firefighters brought them to safety. Damages caused by smoke, fire and water were estimated to be approximately $125,000. See CAUSE, page 23

Registering your cleanup project is quick and easy, simply go online to Ottawa.ca/clean or phone 3-1-1.

Sharing in Success and the Ottawa Public Library The Ottawa Public Library has partnered with the Sharing in Success Program to help provide low income children with school supplies. Financial donations are preferred as it allows parents the opportunity to receive a gift certificate and the flexibility to purchase the school supplies that their child needs. However, donations of school supplies (preferably new) are also welcomed and will be distributed where they are needed most. By donating, it allows children to return to school with the tools essential for education and to do it with their heads held high. School supply donations can be dropped off at several libraries, including the Greenboro District Library, located at 363 Lorry Greenberg Drive. For more information on the program, such as the items most in demand, how you can donate financially, and other drop off locations, please visit www.caringandsharing.ca or call 613-226-6434.

SAVOURING SUMMER AND LOOKING AHEAD This is a wonderful time of year. Summer is still with us and we are savouring the sunshine and warmth. My children, like yours, are spending as much time as possible outdoors. At the same time, September is drawing closer and parents and students alike are looking ahead to the new school year. Soon our school corridors will be filled with exciting reunions and our classrooms will re-open. What should students be doing as the new school year begins? They should get to know their teachers, because these teachers, educational assistants and other school staff will play a very important role in their lives. Students should also set goals for themselves, such as listening and participating in class, doing their homework and working hard. And students should have fun, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, joining clubs and sports teams, and becoming involved in school life. We know that students learn and achieve better if they are happy and have a strong sense of well being. As parents, our role is central to our children’s educational experience. Whether a child is going to school for the first time in junior kindergarten, or about to graduate from grade 12, our involvement in their education is critical. In many schools, there is an information session in the Fall, where parents have an opportunity to meet teachers and administrators, and learn more about the curriculum. I enjoy going to these sessions with my children, and many River Zone parents have told me they attend because it gives them early insight into the new school year.

he air was heavy in the summer kitchen. Spices, boiling sugar, and sealers in a pot of hot water, filled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand. It was pickling and preserving time on the farm in Renfrew County. The swinging shelf, in the dug-out that served as our cellar, was just about bare, and what Mother was “putting down” would see us through the winter at least, and hopefully until the next crop of produce was ready for picking. The summer had been good to our garden. Soft rainy days, hot sun, and cool evenings guaranteed a good crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherries from trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into jams, jellies and preserves. The crops were so ample, that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Saturdays with her eggs, homemade butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us. My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden.

As your Trustee for River Zone, I am looking forward to September too. Board meetings will resume, and Trustees will be working on current and emerging education policy issues. Equally important, I look forward to working with River Zone school councils, parents and the broader community. Together we can ensure that our public education system continues to move from great to excellent. As long as one child falls through the cracks, our work is not done. It is a pleasure to work as your Trustee. If you have any questions or need my help, please do not hesitate to contact me at shirley.seward@ocdsb.ca or at 613-851-4716. 0821. R0012844938

MARY COOK Memories As long as I was in on the action that was enough to satisfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the summer kitchen. “Putting down” was always like a miracle to me. Especially when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abundance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in another dishpan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked. Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for “putting down,” and to leave the smaller ones which would grow into a good length before you knew it. I would put the dishpan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean -- not a handful at a time, but one bean after another Then they were laid out on a clean tea

towel, and patted dry. Mother fed them into big sealers, poured in the boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days – not one day, not three days, but two days. Mother said the timing was important according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter. The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout. Pickling and preserving went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold

winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away. But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in a corner of the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork. There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fine, but we always had ample food to put on the table. Father, believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family. We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter, the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand. And when I saw that swinging shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact, we were very rich indeed.

Rod Dagenais demonstrates how Algonquin College’s new approximately five-metre pepper grinder works. The college unveiled the grinder on Aug. 14, where it was measured and submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Five-metre pepper grinder unveiled at college Cabinet-making students hope to make Guinness Book of World Record Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A group of cabinet making and furniture technician students from Algonquin College are hoping to make the Guinness Book of World Records with a pepper grinder. Rod Dagenais, 53, was one of the group of nine students tasked with crafting the record breaking kitchen utensil. In the fall, students were asked to volunteer to work on their own time to design and build a nearly five-metre, working pepper grinder to compete against the current record holder, a three-metre grinder that sits in a restaurant in Etobicoke. Rod Dagenais said the group sacrificed their Friday nights from October until August to finish the grinder.

“It was really a team effort,” he said, adding the classmates that ranged in age from 18 to 53 became very close. Student craftsmen include Eric Beuman, James Brint, Andrew Carver, Liam Cluff-Clyburne, Rodrigue Dagenais, Jihad Farhat, Cameron Larsen, Spencer Olivastri and Declan Thomas. The final design was approved by the professors and used 24 wood splints that were smoothed out with a lathe. The grinding mechanism was built by welding students. The grinder was unveiled in college’s construction and trades excellence building where it was mounted on two wheeled carts, so that students could show off the working pepper grinding mechanism. It will be moved to the hospitality building. “Our students rose to the challenges of the project. We were only really part of the project for safety and mentoring. I am pleased and impressed with the workmanship and dedication,” instructor John McKinlay-Key said in a press release.

Faith groups ramping up Capital Pride participation Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Reverend Ross Hammond has been marching in Ottawa’s Capital Pride parade for at least 10 years. For the past three, he’s had his rural parish alongside him. Wearing his clerical collar and a rainbow stole, as many as 25 parishioners have joined him on the march downtown, which this year takes place Sunday, Aug. 24. Hammond has led the congregation at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Manotick since 2010, and every year more of his parishioners have joined him and his husband Albert to show their support. And in 2013, his parish council voted unanimously to officially march as the St. James congregation. “I said, if we make it formal, we can take the church banner with us. And the discussion was basically, well, why wouldn’t we?� Hammond said.

That kind of blasĂŠ response to becoming an affirming house of worship is more commonplace than ever; the perception that all faith groups are like the infamous gay marriage picketers in Kansas is just not accurate. “Last year, in our little part of the parade, there were Anglicans, a Jewish group, a Catholic group and a Muslim group,â€? Hammond said. Reaching out to marginalized factions of society is a big part of his congregation’s Christian calling – and since he’s gay, this seems to be the group on which they’ve alighted. And there’s certainly room for their support. “There are people out there who have been ostracized and shunned and damaged by their religious community,â€? Hammond said. “They look at a bunch of obvious Christians marching, holding signs that say ‘To love is to be connected to God’ ... that sends a message to a person of a sexual minority that they’re not excluded.â€? Despite a steady rise in the

number of faith groups taking part in Pride, Hammond said there are still people out there who don’t realize religious groups can be just as affirming and welcoming as other organizations. “As the church begins to march, it’s not a cheer you get for the gyrating bodies, but there is a distinct cheer for us. There are enough people on the side who are surprised,� Hammond said. “And every year, at least one of our group will have someone from the sidelines make their way into the parade to say thank you.� His congregation is supportive overall, but Hammond recognizes he’ll never have 100 per cent unanimity on the issue – and that’s perfectly fine. “One person said to me, ‘I’m very fond of you and Albert, but my concern is that by supporting the parade as an organization we are supporting everything that goes with that parade.’ And that was a legitimate concern,� Hammond

Every year, there are more affirming churches and places of worship coming on board. See UNITED, page 27

Community support Jesse Lafontaine watches as his friend’s daughter Skyla Wilkins, 2, puts brush to paper and lets her creative juices flow. A crowd of almost 100 friends, family and other community supporters attended the 12th-annual Dapo Fun Day on Aug. 16 at the Blackburn Hamlet Community Centre on Aug. 16. The event is held each year in memory of Dapo Agoro, a 19-year-old student at Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School who was fatally stabbed while trying to break up a fight in on Rideau Street in 2002. Since his death, his family has been promoting peace and nonviolent conflict resolution through the Dapo Agoro Foundation for Peace.

mandate to promote social justice. “(The Universalist Muslims) and our house together formed the Spiritual Progressives, and we marched under that banner,â€? said Caroline John, a member of Faith House. The house has room for six residents, who generally stay two years and are expected to be queer afďŹ rming, John said. Right now, the house has Buddhist, Unitarian, Christian/Hindu and agnostic residents who all believe that religious organizations have a role in supporting sexual minorities. “People come from all walks of life, and you constantly run into people who have repelled religion out of their lives because it’s been a contradiction to them or a negative source in their life,â€? John said. And that’s just not how it’s supposed to be.â€? Hammond said the presence of religious groups in Pride needs to continue to grow – not just to promote the idea of afďŹ rming congregations, but to continue to combat homophobia altogether. “The day Albert and I can walk down any street and not worry about holding hands is the day I don’t need to march in the parade,â€? he said.

The United Church of Canada seems to be leading the way on this, having developed a bureaucratic process to become an ofďŹ cially afďŹ rming congregation. AfďŹ rm United requires an educational process, according to its website, that asks its churches to “reect on what it means to be inclusive,â€? create an action plan, commit to the national afďŹ rmation program and implement an inclusive marriage policy. The process concludes with a celebration service to ofďŹ cially declare the church a welcoming place for all. United Church-goer Myles Frosst is a member of the Ottawa presbytery’s new diversity committee, and he’s been scrambling to compile a list of LGBT-friendly faith groups in Ottawa in time for Capital Pride’s community fair, which takes place after the parade. It’s by no means exhaustive, but Frosst said it includes United, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Presbyterian churches, as well as at least one synagogue and the same Muslim prayer group Hammond saw last year. The Universalist Muslims last year marched alongside residents of Faith House, an interfaith group that lives in a house in Sandy Hill with a

Artisans press for change to Byward Market system Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson was already hearing from concerned residents a day before he officially launched his re-election campaign. Artisans at the Art in Strathcona Park event on Aug. 9 took his casual stop-in as an opportunity to fight for change in the Byward Market. “People used to come because it was so unique,” said jewelry maker Lisa Wilson, who said she joined the Byward Market Standholders Association to try and change the system. “Now we don’t get Ottawa people coming because most of the stuff comes out of containers.” The peak market season between May and the end of August separates arts and crafts importers from artisans, with handmade arts and

crafts located around the market building and importers on York Street. But between the Tuesday after Labour Day to the first Monday in November, all categories of arts and crafts vendors are mixed together. Every day at 9 a.m., vendors take part in a daily lottery to be assigned a stand, meaning vendors selling handmade items can end up beside vendors selling inexpensive, imported goods from other countries. “It’s not a local market anymore,” Wilson said. “We can’t compete.” She said she’d like the city and the market association to change the system so that local artisans are grouped together in one section, and the importers are grouped in another for the entire market season. She was backed up by candle maker Bruce Langer and fashion designer Elena Jones,

who were also selling their wares in Strathcona that day. Jones is still a Byward Market vendor, as is Wilson, but Langer said he gave up several years ago because the market no longer attracts serious shoppers. “All the genuine artisan shoppers aren’t shopping there anymore,” Langer said. Watson said it was the first time he’d heard such concerns. He asked the artists to send him a list of ideas, but he was hesitant to promise quick change. “You’ll never have unanimity in the market,” he said. “I’ve heard from one position and I’ll go back and see if there are fundamental challenges we can overcome.” Watson added that part of the issue is an influx of new markets across the city and region, which has diluted the concentration of market-goers.

Rising soccer star heads to Real Madrid training camp Ottawa teen scouted at New Jersey game Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Sports Every soccer player worth his cleats dreams of one day playing in the World Cup. Greely teen Haydn Bechthold is closer to realizing that dream as he spends eight days at the Real Madrid training facility in Spain this week, learning with some of the top youth players in the world. The 16-year-old Ottawa Fury Academy forward was scouted for the prestigious spot last month, at a New Jersey game in the SuperY League, of which his Fury team is a part. The Fury lost, but Bechthold played well. After the game, a man he didn’t know shook his hand and complimented his ability on the field. Bechthold thought nothing of it. The next week, his coach, Christian Hoefler, told him the man was Luis Mendoza, director of coaching for the Real Madrid Select Program. Mendoza had personally invited Bechthold to join about 35 other elite youth players in Spain between Aug. 16 and 24. “I was sleeping on the bus, and I thought, ‘was I dreaming that?’” Bechthold said. “You never really think you’re going to go to Madrid.” The blonde-haired teen left on Saturday, Aug. 16 to join his peers from US, Mexico and Brazil in Spain. He is the only Canadian in the group. The group will follow an intense schedule of advanced technical and tactical training, on-field problem solving, performance evaluations and pre-season preparation. They’ll also play two matches: one against the Real Madrid Acad-

emy team, and another against the Rayo Vallecano youth academy. Possibly the best part is the chance to watch matches between Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid - meaning they’ll see football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in action. That alone is a dream come true for the teen, who watched nearly every single World Cup game this summer. Bechthold said being headhunted for this opportunity left him a bit gobsmacked while he rushed to get to Madrid with less than a week’s notice. “It feels like (Mendoza) made a dream team, and it’s weird to say I made it,” he said. “I was pretty happy.” Ottawa Fury coach Christian Hoefler said he’s not surprised his student was offered this opportunity. “He’s extremely versatile and extremely dynamic. He’s one who plays very simple and quick,” said Hoefler, who has been coaching the teen for about a year. “I wasn’t shocked (when Mendoza chose him). I know he has the ability and I needed to get him exposed.” Of course, one look at Bechthold’s heritage tells you everything you need to know about his potential for greatness. His grandfather was Robert Kelly, one of the best soccer players in Canada in the 1950s and early 1960s. Kelly captained the Canadian All-Stars and the Ontario All-Stars against teams from across the globe, including Mexico, Leningrad and Bermuda. After playing with Ulster United SC in Toronto, he made history when he was traded for $1,500 to play for the Italia SC. Those skills have proven undeniably hereditary, as they have carried

Bechthold said his dream is to play professionally, just like his grandfa-

ther – and, at this point, he doesn’t much care where. “Any team that pays me, I’ll play,” he laughed. He said he would prefer Europe; England or Germany, if they’ll take him. “I want to be like (my grandfather),” Bechthold said. “I want to play professionally to say there were

two in the family.” He’s well on his way to making good on that dream; coaches and scouts from around the world are expected to look in on the training program while he’s there. “I just want to be seen and say I played in Madrid against the best kids,” he said.

Julie Fitzgerald and Calvin Vollrath joke around backstage at the 2012 Canadian Grand Master Fiddling competition.

Annual Grand Master Fiddling competition to hit college Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Dozens of fiddlers will descend on the capital in the week of Aug. 17 to Aug. 23 for the Grand Master Fiddling Association’s annual competition and camp. The camp, which has eight fiddling instructors made up of former national champions, ran from Aug. 17 to 21 at the RCMP Long Island Camp in Manotick. The group also included two piano instructors. “We run the camp every year and accept students from every level,” Ron Bourque, the association’s president said. Following the camp, there will

be the competition, which kicks off with a gala at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau on Aug. 22. The gala will feature a performance by four-time grand master champion Louis Schryer, as well as Patti Lamoureux, André Brunet and Mark Sullivan. The competition will be held the following day at the Algonquin College Commons Theatre. Bourque said the organization is also celebrating a 25th anniversary. The mandate is to promote fiddling. “The Ottawa Valley is a hotbed of fiddling,” he said, adding it’s appropriate to host the competition in the nation’s capital. The competition has been held

Community - Summer may seem like it’s winding down, but in Old Ottawa East, there is still time to enjoy some time in the great outdoors while enjoying a movie. With one movie night already under its belt, the Old Ottawa East Community Activities Group and the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre will host another three movie nights this summer, double what the community hosted last year. “Based on the popularity of last year’s movie nights, we decided to double our efforts and present two in each park, this summer,” said board member Kevin Farrell. The next movie night scheduled is Rio 2 in Springhurst Park on Aug. 23, with Akeelah and the Bee set for Brantwood Park on Sept. 6 and Because of Winn Dixie to feature on Sept. 13, also in Brantwood Park. Each evening will also see a barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs

available at a small cost. Having attended last year, Farrell said the best thing about this community-oriented activity is witnessing families taking advantage of free entertainment in the neighbourhood’s local parks. He added he is always impressed with the diverse age groups that come out to the events. And based on the event’s popularity, Farrell said he believes this free outdoor activity is here to stay. “I do not see these movie nights disappearing,” he said. “In fact, I can see us expanding - perhaps every Saturday, but alternating parks.” The Community Activities Group organizes a number of activities for the neighbourhood, as well as operates city-run programs from the Old Town Hall, Brantwood Field House, Brantwood Park rink and the other community parks. For more information about upcoming events or the Community Activities Group programs visit ottawaeastcag.ca.

in Ottawa every year, except for last year, when it was held in Saskatoon. “Last year we had 500 or 600 people attend,” Bourque said. “We expect the same this year.” Top prize is $3,000 and there are smaller, monetary prizes for the first four spots. The competition will also feature a junior showcase at the college on Aug. 23 from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Contestants will come from all over the country. “We are like the NHL of the fiddlers industry,” Bourque said.

Canada’s Cold War museum to celebrate peace with exhibit Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Local artists and youth will come together to talk about peace at Canada’s cold war museum on Sept. 20. For the fourth year, an organization called One World Dialogue, which seeks to discuss peace through artists and interpretative means, will hold an art exhibit. The organization has partnered with the Diefenbunker and will showcase the work of six artists and local children in

the Bank of Canada vault. This year’s theme is breaking barriers, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Rohini Bhalla, president of One World Dialogue, said the partnership was named a finalist in last year’s Tourism Ottawa awards. “There’s something really poignant in talking about peace in a building that was designed to hold the country’s gold reserves in the case of a nuclear attack,” she said, adding the exhibit will run until the end of January 2015. Sandy Woods, a Barrhavenbased mixed media artist, has been working with One World Dialogue for the last four years. As part of her work, she went to Manotick Public School to help a Grade 4/5 class work on a one-by-twometre panel, depicting the fall of the wall, and working on the breaking barriers theme. Woods’ four artworks for the show are entitled Courage, Perseverance, Acceptance and Harmony.

Bhalla said One World intentionally gave the artists a lot of leeway with the theme to foster the conversation about peace. Aside from the students at Manotick Public School, Bhalla said organizers also worked with children at Odawa Native Friendship Centre and Minwaashin Lodge and developmentally delayed kids from the YW-YMCA. “We wanted to show different perspectives,” she said. Woods said her experience with the kids in Manotick was interesting because the kids took gave it a lot of thought and had an interesting perspective on the topic. “Parents often think their kids won’t have anything to say about peace, but they often have a lot of input,” Bhalla said, adding the school’s character education curriculum that talks about respect and bullying ties in well with the JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND peace theme. The exhibit will open with Sandy Woods, a mixed media artist from Barrhaven, is pictured with Rohini Bhalla, presia vernissage and performance dent of One World Dialogue, and her painting Perseverance. Woods will have four pieces in an upcoming exhibit at the Diefenbunker museum called Breaking Barriers. on Sept. 20 at 2 p.m.

Rain dance Riverside South residents Mitch Phomin and Kathleen Fitzpatrick dance in the rain. The life and dance partners say they enjoy coming to Taste of Manotick every year, rain or shine. The annual Taste of Manotick was far from watered down despite the steady downpour during the annual event on Aug. 16. Enthusiasm reigned as the mouth-watering aroma of savoury barbecued goodies and live music filled the air. ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

In Ontario, those who are younger than 20 are covered by OHIP for a routine eye examination provided by either an optometrist or physician once every 12 months plus any follow-up assessments that may be required. Vision problems create obstacles for children to achieve their full learning potential. One in six children has a vision problem, yet most children do not get eye exams before the age of ďŹ ve. Since vision plays such an essential part in a child’s ability to learn, excellent sight and eye health are critical their development.

Many residents of Indian descent joined in the celebrations and watched on as the flag was unfurled and raised beside the Canadian and Ottawa flags in front of Ottawa City Hall. From the India Canada Association to Bollywood Magazine, which is produced in Barrhaven, there are many ways that the Indian community is thriving and contributing to our community. Following the raising of the India Flag, a cultural program was held in Jean Pigott Place inside Ottawa City Hall. From dances to musical performances, it was a lively tribute to Indian heritage on this important day.

Arts - As summer weather begins to fade, one east-end art exhibit looks to heat up passions for art. The Autumn Mix art exhibition opened on Aug. 15 in the hallway of the St. Laurent Complex, featuring four Ottawa-area artists: Nohad Selman, Lynne McHardy, Leslie Lambert, and Elisabeth Baechlin. The event showcases nature’s beauty through landscape portraits in a mix of mediums. The exhibition is organized by Arteast, a not-for-proďŹ t visual arts organization serving east-end artists. Arteast member Beata Jakubek coordinates the exhibits held at the St. Laurent Complex. She said each artist’s work will occupy a large space along the hallway and will be available for public viewing until Sept. 26. “Only four artists can show their work at a time,â€? Jakubek said. “Artists who are ready to show their work contact us and we coordinate it.â€? The community centre is a popular spot for the organization, Jakubek added, saying it’s well-used as an exhibition spot as well as a place for artists to meet up and socialize or paint. The organization has coordinated with the complex to host exhibitions over the years, every time hanging the art in

Ottawa South News - Thursday, August 21, 2014

News - After two years of construction, the public will finally get a chance to see what Lansdowne Park looks like with its decades-old layer of asphalt peeled off. Aug. 15 officially marked the grand opening of the new “urban park” at Lansdowne – the green portion of the site’s makeover that Mayor Jim Watson has long touted as “putting the park back in Lansdowne.”

But the 18-hectare site will serve as more than a park – it’s the site of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, it will have a refrigerated skating rink, a splash pad, an orchard and civic garden, event venues and even a surprise addition – a skateboard park. All those features add up to a great new space for residents of the Glebe and beyond, said Dolores MacAdam, program manager for the city’s events central and Lansdowne Park. See PAVILION, page 41

Pavilion to hold large corporate and commercial events Continued from page 40

“This is part of the neighbourhood now,” MacAdams said. “Whether there are events taking place or not, it will serve as a fantastic venue to have within your community. “I just think it’s going to be the jewel of the city,” she said. “It’s a whole new energy.” The “beacon,” a storm water management feature that functions as a water plaza, won’t quite be done and the civic gardens aren’t planted, but much of the park, including a children’s play area, the “great lawn” and a new public square around the historic Aberdeen Pavilion will be open for people to relax or throw around a ball. The area will also be teeming with events, MacAdam said. The Aberdeen Pavilion will again

become home to large corporate and commercial events, she said, including events related to the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and the One Young World Summit in 2016. The “cattle castle,” as it’s known, can hold up to 2,800 people. The restoration of the site’s second heritage structure – the Horticulture Building – has opened up the possibility of a different type of event. Winterlude will also include events at Lansdowne this year, MacAdam said. “We’ve had at least five calls inquiring about weddings,” MacAdam said, adding the requests were sight unseen because the building had not yet reopened. The Horticulture Building was stripped of its heritage designation so it could be moved to a different

spot on the site. That $10-million project left the building’s interior completely rebuilt with new windows, opening up a space that until now had been used for storage. The building will also house a community kitchen and offices for city staff who work at Lansdowne, as well as space for a cafe in the future. The city hasn’t decided what kinds of public programming to offer at Lansdowne, but the Horticulture Building is a likely home for lessons or workshops to be offered. “The goal is to make it lovely and open seven days a week,” MacAdam said. Lansdowne is set to get even livelier later this year, when stores, restaurants and a new cinema will begin opening.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

The city expects Lansdowne Park to once again teem with events, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and the One Young World Summit in 2016.

During the three-day conference there will be a number of tours of some of the city’s downtown neighbourhoods, workshops and speeches from urban planning professionals and city managers, including Ottawa deputy city manager Nancy Schepers. Quartier Vanier has been a member of the International Downtown Association for a long time and Valiquet said that participating in the conferences is the best way to learn the best practices from other businesses improvement areas around the world. Many of Ottawa’s busi-

ness improvement areas will be participating in the conference, along with other attendees from across Canada, the United States, Europe and South Africa. In an effort to show off as much of Vanier as possible, the BIA has put out a request for residents and business owners to help during the event.

News - Vanier is preparing to play host to hundreds of visitors during this year’s International Downtown Association conference. Quartier Vanier will host Pancakes in the Park in Riverain Park at 8 a.m. on Sept. 5 as a special portion of the IDA 60th Anniversary Conference and Tradeshow. The business improvement area is working in collaboration with the Eastern Maple Syrup Producers Association on the event. Quartier Vanier’s executive director Suzanne Valiquet said the organization is expecting more than 500 people to attend. The event will also host one of the two Master Talks taking place during the conference. “Pancakes in the Park allows us an opportunity to showcase our area, our culture and the beauty and green spaces,� Valiquet said. She said the BIA picked the park located on the banks of the Rideau River because it shows off Vanier at its best. “Riverain Park has it all. It’s within the commercial zone, has beautiful residential areas, office towers and businesses,� she said. “(It’s) a wonderful recreational centre for everyone, young and old to enjoy.� Valiquet added Vanier is on the upswing for renewal and rebirth and the BIA is excited at the opportunity to showcase the neighbourhood during the conference. The annual conference chooses a different host city each year. Last year it was held in New York. Quartier Vanier is part of the host committee and helped design this year’s logo

Police still looking for driver in fatal 2013 hit and run Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A year after 30-year-old Michael Morlang was killed in a hit and run on Frank Kenny Road near McFadden Road, police are still looking for information on who hit him.

On Aug. 11, a year to the day of his death, the police’s collision investigation section put out a call to the public for information.

Berry caramel frozen yogurt cake great on a hot day

INGREDIENTS

• 6 caramel corn rice cakes • 1 container (2 L) frozen vanilla yogurt, softened • 500 ml (2 cups) pureed strawberries • 15 ml (1 tbsp) orange-flavoured liqueur (optional) • 6 strawberries, halved Strawberry sauce • 750 ml (3 cups) sliced strawberries • 25 ml (2 tbsp) orange-fla-

voured liqueur (optional) • 15 ml (1 tbsp) granulated sugar (or to taste) PREPARATION

Chop the rice cakes and set 250 ml (1 cup) aside. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, pureed strawberries, orange liqueur (if using) and chopped rice cakes. Spoon the mixture into a 23 centimetre (9-inch) springform pan and smooth the top, then sprinkle with the remaining rice cakes. Cover and freeze until firm -- about four hours. (Make-ahead: Overwrap in heavy-duty foil and freeze for up to three days.) To serve, remove the side of the pan and slice

the cake into wedges. Garnish each slice with half a strawberry and drizzle with strawberry sauce. Strawberry sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, liqueur (if using) and sugar. Transfer half the mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the remaining berries and mix to blend. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. (Make-ahead: Can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 24 hours.) Tip: To soften frozen yogurt, leave it at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes. Foodland Ontario

Mayor’s Report

VĂŠlo-Vanier extends hours michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The opportunity to get a free bicycle for the month of August in Vanier has just gotten a little easier. The free bike-sharing organization VĂŠlo-Vanier announced it has extended its hours to better accommodate cyclists in the area. The new hours are Tuesdays from 1 to 4 p.m., Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Operating all summer long, it is the only completely free bike lending program in the city. The program, run by the Vanier Community Service Centre, allows residents with a K1L postal code to call and book a bicycle. The bikes can be used for any amount of time and offer residents the opportunity to borrow a bike, helmet and lock all free of charge for up to a month.

The bikes are donated through Cycle Salvation, a member of the Causeway Group of Social Businesses. The organization has also been great at helping with the maintenance of the bikes, including offering free bike tune-ups in the evenings for bicycle owners in the neighbourhood. Residents can also sign up for a free, four-hour course on safe cycling. FILE Program coordinator Rose Anne Leonard said the The free bike-sharing organization VĂŠlo-Vanier has organization would cre- extended its hours to better accommodate Vanier ate courses with groups cyclists. of at least six and try to find a working schedule. Bicycles will be available to borrow for the course if needed. All that residents in Vanier need to do to get on a bike is call VĂŠlo-Vanier at 613-277-7902 to make an appointment. When it is time to pick up the bike, residents must fill out a registration form and loan form. Then it is all smooth riding.

Got Events?

By Jim Watson With the summer almost over and fall just around the corner, it’s a good time to reect on what has been a productive few months. I visited all corners of our city this summer and was reminded once again just how BIG AND DIVERSE OUR CITY IS &ROM THE (/0% BEACH VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT AT -OONEY S Bay; to festivals around Ottawa like those celebrating our Italian, Lebanese, and Indian communities; to fairs like those in Navan, Gloucester, and Carp (upcoming), and music festivals for blues, folk, chamber, and jazz; Ottawa has not been short on places to visit and things to do this summer. In this busy summer two events stand out to me. The ďŹ rst of which was the opening OF ,ANSDOWNE 0ARK &OR ME THE ISSUE OF WHAT TO DO ABOUT ,ANSDOWNE IS ONE ) HAVE been working on since I was ďŹ rst elected as a City Councillor in 1991. To see the FRUITS OF THIS LABOUR AS OUR #&, TEAM TOOK THE lELD ON *ULY TH AND OUR 5RBAN 0ARK OPENED TO THE PUBLIC ON !UGUST IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME &OR TOO LONG THIS SITE WAS an eyesore in the centre of our city but now it is ďŹ nally coming to life as a place that residents can be proud of and visitors will come to see. It was a long road getting to WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND OUR WORK IS NOT YET DONE BUT SEEING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT Lansdowne again and watching them enjoy the different elements of the site has been one of the highlights of my summer.

D A E R P S E TH

The second event that stands out for me from summer 2014 is marking the 50% completion mark of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) tunnel. This was another project that saw many stops and starts, redesigns, and second guesses. But this council set those ASIDE TO ACT ON A PLAN WITH A lXED PRICE CONTRACT THAT IS SEEING THE CENTRE OF OUR CITY TRANSFORMED AND BRINGING THE REST OF OUR CITY WITHIN REACH OF TRANSIT EXPANSION (AVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR THE ,24 TUNNEL ALONGSIDE 0REMIER +ATHLEEN 7YNNE AND -0 2OYAL 'ALIPEAU WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR ME 7E SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT #ITY (ALL TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS THE BIGGEST INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT in Ottawa in decades. To be able to go down in the tunnel and walk through almost METRES OF THE EXCAVATED WEST PORTAL REMINDED ME JUST HOW MUCH OF GAME changer the LRT is going to be for Ottawa and its residents. And to meet and thank some of those highly skilled workers who are doing the tunneling work made the day that much better.

D R WO

It has been a busy summer but one that I look back on fondly. I hope that yours too was an enjoyable one and that we can get a few more weeks of summer weather before the leaves turn.

5 STAR SERVICE AT AFFORDABLE PRICES!

Horses change lives of people with special needs Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Community - The first time Alexandre Charron-Raymond arrived at the Happy Trails Riding Stables, he didn’t even want to get out of the car. The now 26-year-old, who has an intellectual disorder and autistic behaviours, was anxious and apprehensive. Now, after just over a year of participation in the riding program for special needs children and adults at the farm, he’s done a complete 180. Alexandre’s parents said since he started riding at Happy Trails, he’s become much happier and calmer. His participation in the program hasn’t just benefitted him, but all his family and the people who work with him. He frequently visits and spends time at his parents’ home in Rothwell Heights, but lives at a French group home near Pleasant Park. He comes weekly for two hours – twice a week in the summer when his mother, a school-teacher, is off work. At the start, he was anxious about getting out of the car to deal with Art Mackie, who owns and runs the farm and the program. He’s made little steps – like letting go of the bouncy balls he carries everywhere in order to ride the horses, and counting brush strokes as he helps groom his horse – as the weeks have gone on. “We decided to bring him here and it completely changed him,” said his father, Bernard Raymond. “He’s proud of being able to go on a big animal like that. Art turns the little things into a big accomplishment.” Now, when Alex gets out of the car, he smiles and laughs with delight when he sees Mackie, and can balance himself while riding around the ring on his regular horse, Brandy. Mackie isn’t a social worker or specially-trained to work with people with disabilities, but Alexandre’s

Alexandre Charron-Raymond has a moment with a horse before his riding session at Happy Trails Riding Stables. Happy Trails only works with riders with special needs. mother, Lucie Charron, said he has a special spark that makes Alexandre feel at ease and trust him. “You either have it or you don’t,” she said. “He has it.” The farm has been in the Mackie family for decades, though it’s only within the past 10 years that it has turned into the program centre for

the special needs riding program. The Mackies purchased the Carlsbad Springs farm in the ‘50s, and ran it as a pig farm. Eventually, Art Mackie purchased the farm from his father and began to run public trail rides. “Ten years ago if you’d told me I’d be doing this, I’d say, ‘Yeah right,’”

Mackie said. Mackie was running trail rides, but some of the land he used was sold. While he ran riding lessons he got a call from a parent of a young woman with a disability, asking if there was any possibility Mackie could accommodate her. “After she came, I thought, ‘Man,

that was the best two hours I’ve spent,’” Mackie said. He started to accommodate more youth with a variety of special needs, and eventually transitioned to exclusively work with special needs people. See EQUINE, page 57

Equine program receives zero funding to operate Continued from page 55

“At the start, I admit I had trouble. I thought I’d never be able to deal with (some of these kids),” he said. “But now, it’s no problem.” He’s taken a few courses to help him work with the special needs kids, but his best tool is the connection that parents say Mackie quickly makes with their children. Mackie uses the rest of the property to farm hay, which is how he supports himself. He charges $50 an hour for the riders to come, which he said is well below the $60 to $100 many equestrian schools charge for an hour

private lesson. He has some hired help, and runs the program alongside Eliane Philippe; the funds keep the program running and horses fed. He doesn’t get any government or private funding to run the programs, though he worries that without a formal charitable or organization structure the farm may not have a future when he can no longer run it. “I’d like this place to be around long after I’m gone for the kids,” Mackie said. “But I can’t get over the hump.” Because Mackie runs the program without organizational oversight, he can shape and change it as he wants to

suit each client’s needs. He doesn’t discriminate against French or English or require formal diagnoses from doctors, as some organizations do. He feels the flexibility of the program could suffer or no longer allow the same cross-section of clients if an organization that deals with a specific disability – such as autism – took over. The flexibility and adaptability of the program have been the magic touch for Eric Yemensky, 21, said his father Gerald. They’ve been coming for at least 10 years to ride at the farm. “Eric’s needs have changed, but his love of coming here hasn’t,” Gerald said. “Art adapts to the kids’ needs, it’s

very personal. This program adapts to Eric and gives him a tangible, positive program. Eric is on the autism spectrum, and hasn’t found many programs that have been able to suit his needs. But he’s grown up at Happy Trails, starting at only 11-years-old, and still coming a decade later. “Having been involved in literally dozens of provincially-funded programs, this is the only program that has worked,” Gerald said. “And it’s a tragedy it doesn’t have adequate funding.” Mackie’s flexibility means allowing things like clients from Charron-Raymond’s group home to accompany him

to the farm and pet the animals while he rides. He doesn’t have to follow a curriculum or set progress schedule, which has seen his clients thrive. Eric can list off all the things he likes about the farm, and accomplishes there, from riding a bigger horse to shearing a sheep. His father said his weekly trips to the farm and new experiences are the highlight of his week. Every little step at Happy Trails is met with a huge smile and high five from Mackie. “It’s more than wonderful,” said Alexandre’s mother, Charron. “It’s changed the life of my child.”

10,000 Ontario drivers hit animals annually News - Ontario boasts some of the most scenic driving for those who live in and visit the province’s vast rural communities, but it comes with a cost with more than 10,000 drivers a year being involved in wildlife collisions. From 2009 to 2013, close to 60,000 wildlife collisions were reported to the OPP. Nineteen of the people involved in these collisions died and more than 2,200 of them sustained injuries.

OPP data show that spring and fall are times when motorists driving in rural areas need to be extra cautious as wildlife becomes more active. It is important to remember that deer, moose and elk crossing signs are only posted where there are frequent sightings or crossings, however these animals can be seen anywhere at any time. Drivers should therefore maintain a heightened level of awareness when driving in rural areas that are absent of these

signs. The OPP is reminding motorists that they can take precautions to reduce their risk of a collision with wildlife: • Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder. Moose, elk and deer are particularly active in the spring, especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for food. Deer rarely travel alone, so when motorists see one there are likely more nearby. • Watch your speed and be care-

ful when driving at night. Slowing down will give you more time to respond. Avoiding driving after dark when possible can greatly reduce the risk of colliding with an animal. • Brake firmly if an animal is standing on or crossing the road, stopping if necessary. Swerving to avoid hitting a wild animal may result in loss of control and a more serious collision. If you do encounter large wildlife such as deer, moose, elk or bears on the road and

can safely avoid hitting them, do so, but be absolutely certain that oncoming traffic or soft shoulders do not put you and others at risk. • Do not direct your full attention to the animal when you take measures to avoid hitting it, because this almost always results in colliding with the animal. Instead, focus attention on the alternative route you decide to take, again only if this manoeuvre doesn’t place you and others in danger.

Ping pong tourney seeks sleek paddle designs Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A contest is underway to come up with the official ping pong paddle for this year’s ultimate charity ping pong event. In its fifth year, the Verdun Windows and Doors Ottawa Charity Ping Pong will take place on Oct. 3 at SpinBin in the ByWard Market. In an effort to customize the event even more this year, organizers are seeking a new design for the paddles used in the tournament. “We’re really thrilled to offer the opportunity to have Ottawa artists play a key role in our charity event,” said Jessica Whiting, lead organizer for the event. “There are so many talented

people in our city and we can’t wait to see what designs they come up with.” The organization introduced the paddle contest last year. The contest is calling on anyone artistically inclined to create a design for a table tennis paddle. The winning design will be printed by PaddleYou, an online table tennis paddle design company, on official tournament paddles and handed out to contestants at the competition, as well as be handed out as some door prizes at the event. The winning artist will receive two free tickets to the event and two official Ottawa Charity Ping Pong paddles. All designs must be submitted to ottawacharitypingpong@gmail.com by 5 p.m. on Sept. 5.

Anyone interested in participating in the event can register at ottawacharitypingpong.com. All funds raised will support four local charities -- Do it for Daron, The Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home, and Christie Lake Kids. Last year the organization raised $26,000. The money is split evenly between all four charities. All skill levels are welcome and each contestant will get the opportunity to play at least two games. Registration for the competition is $50. More information about the tournament and the charities the event is supporting is availFILE able at ottawacharitypingpong.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.
