Art endeavour sows seeds for botanical garden Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
Arts - Take a turn into a far-off corner at the Experimental Farm and you’ll find yourself in a different kind of agricultural wonderland. Without guiding signs, a labyrinth
constructed in the dappled shade of a 100-year-old red oak might seem like a whimsical mystery tucked away in the centre of the city – as would an arbour with 20 types of squash crawling up its wire sides.

Frequent flier Ottawa’s own Spring Action Trampoline Show duo entertained crowds with their high-flying antics during the Ottawa International Buskerfest, held on Sparks Street July 31-Aug. 4. The festival saw unique acts from across the globe converge on the pedestrian mall. Support for the festival came from the Sparks Street Business Improvement Area, Government of Ontario, Giant Tiger, and a number of local businesses.

white-picket-fenced lined garden plot is a commentary on the environmental impact of meat production watched over by a shield evoking a female shape in place of the crucifixes that were a common sight in Quebec fields during fleury’s childhood. Working in large spaces in nothing new to fleury, who also participated in the Harbourfront project, but being able to do land art in Ottawa is a new experience. “It’s a total first,” she said. “It’s amazing that it’s happening on the farm. The idea is that it really has these agricultural connections.” Fleury said visitors can be challenged by the way land art changes and never remains static and she wanted to push that idea even further by recently installing pink-painted paper bags over all the sunflowers that have been growing in her installation all summer. Fisher Park resident Ruth Loomer was navigating the installations in her wheelchair with her daughterin-law, Judy Vermette. Both avid gardeners, Vermette was especially intrigued by her first local opportunity to experience the type of landscape art she had only read about. Special events planned for September include weekend artists’ talks early in the month and an artist-led gardening and community event in late September.

Faught’s dream, her co-curator, Judith Parker, said. They hope the installations, which incorporate living plants into an everevolving landscape, help reconnect people with nature. “There are many levels and many layers,” Parker said. “I hope it connects people with their natural world and I hope it allows them to ask questions.” Passersby have been discovering the garden since it opened in late June. The exhibit will run until Sept. 27 and is free to explore. It is located east of Prince of Wales Drive, just north of the signalized intersection in the middle of the Central Experimental Farm. The plot of land is ideal for such an installation because it’s the site of what a group called the Canadensis Society hopes will become a botanical garden in the future. The non-profit organization is working to bring to life the federal government’s original vision for that land along the west side of the Rideau Canal, just south of the Fletcher Wildlife Garden. By 2017, the society hopes to have completed the first phase of a botanic garden that would include interactive and educational elements to promote a deeper understanding of our interdependence with nature. That theme is explored through installations in the artists’ garden, including Wakefield artist cj fleury’s Our Lady of Complete Protein. The

War museum marks 100th anniversary of First World War Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The outbreak of the First World War 100 years ago is being recognized around the globe by the many nations who fought and paid a heavy price in the ensuing four years. The Canadian War Museum is adding to its existing exhibitions and programming marking the anniversary with a new portrait wall, which will showcase rarely-seen sculptures of ordinary Canadians from the First World War. Named Ordinary People in Extraordinary Times, the exhibition features 12 sculptures of Canadians who participated in the war effort on the home front and overseas,
Ottawa Valley Tours
sourced from the museum’s extensive Beaverbrook Collection of War Art. With names like Munitions Worker, The Shell Finisher, and The Furnace Girl, the nine bronze sculptures created by Florence Wyle and Frances Loring serve to recognize the tireless labour of women employed in dangerous munitions factories, while other works shed light on the many farmers and blacksmiths who contributed in their own way. “By depicting a wide range of people involved in the war effort, from female factory workers to front-line soldiers, these sculptures put a human face on war,” stated James Whitman, the museum’s director general.

Rainbow Foods donates $10,000 to Easter Seals Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - At $2 apiece, the small paper eggs bearing donor’s names that make up Easter Seals’ annual Paper Egg Campaign don’t seem like a lot of money. But, as the saying goes, there’s strength in numbers. Rainbow Foods showed this on July 30 when they handed a $10,000 R0012819284

donation to Easter Seals Ontario at its Richmond Road store. The money was collected by the natural health store over the 10 years they’ve been involved in the Paper Egg Campaign. Easter Seals, which helps children, youth and young adults living with physical disabilities, has long been included in the charitable work and volunteering performed by Rainbow Foods. “At Easter time we sell the paper

eggs supporting Easter Seals,” said Kristine Broadhead, marketing supervisor for Rainbow Foods. “We do it every year, but this year we’re trying to do more.” A recent Easter Seals fundraiser – the Bring on the Bay event - saw staff from Rainbow Foods volunteering to help raise money for the organization’s youth. This year, the store is focusing more strongly on Easter Seals, while also giving support to the Ottawa Riverkeeper. Hayley Magermans, development officer for Easter Seals Ontario, said that ongoing community support is crucial for the organization and the young people it serves. “Easter Seals is primarily funded by community support, so it’s very important – and encouraging – when the community comes together,” said Magermans. “Rainbow Foods is a long-time supporter of our Bring on the Bay event, which is an open-water swim that this year raised over $52,000.” Since 2000, the Easter Seals Paper Egg Campaign has raised more than $6.2 million in Ontario. Rainbow Foods is one of 1,110 retail stores that have participated in the initiative.

Reverse food truck taking donations in Hintonburg Hintonburger, Parkdale Food Centre partner for initiative Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - The Hintonburger is well-known as a place to buy indulgent food, but lately the popular establishment has been accepting donations of the very ingredients it uses in its meals. In July, the Hintonburg restaurant teamed up with the Parkdale Food Centre to put an idea new to Ottawa into practice – a reverse food truck. Donated items of fresh fruits and vegetables – as well as dairy products and toiletries – are being collected on select dates at the Hintonburger and driven to the homes of clients who use the food centre. The pilot project only runs until Aug. 9, but saw great interest generated during its short run. “It’s something that caught the imagination of the whole community,” said Karen Secord, operations manager at
the food centre. “The idea was sent to us via social media, on Facebook – the individual told us there was one in Minneapolis.” Secord, along with the staff and volunteers at the Parkdale Food Centre, regularly try new initiatives to raise awareness and funds for the clients they serve. When the reverse food truck idea was mentioned, they jumped on it, despite it having never been tried before in Ottawa. The aim was to collect items that are highly sought out by the food centre and their clients. “For us that meant bringing fresh fruit, vegetables – people donating from their gardens – as well as toiletries, which we don’t purchase,” said Secord. “People are coming in like crazy, with some donating from their gardens – things like Swiss chard, raspberries, onion. Others went to Giant Tiger to purchase toilet paper and shampoo.”
Secord said the Hintonburger has been a partner of theirs for a while, helping out with community events and fundraising, and that it was their food truck – previously used to sell meals to patrons at Bluesfest – that is being used for the initiative. The Hintonburger is also donating 10 per cent of its Monday sales to the food centre. Calling it a “social experiment,” Secord said ideas like this create situations where discussions can be held about food, and the needs of their clients. “It stimulates conversation – why are people in need of food?” she said. “It’s also an opportunity to explain that we’re moving locations, where our new space is, and what services we can offer.” Later this fall, the food centre will set up shop in the Somerset West Community
Health Centre-owned medical building on Rosemount Avenue, offering them more space for programming and new initiatives. While the reverse food truck initiative is only three
weeks long, by Aug. 9 the food centre should be able to announce what their next experiment will be, said Secord, adding that it will likely be a “pop-up” initiative in the community.
More information on the centre, its hours of operation and services can be found at parkdalefoodcentre.org

Right Bike expansion on track A total of 20 bicycle-share stations to be added around city by October Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Right Bike is on track to roll right through its goal of adding eight new bicycle-share stations, but it needs more donations to hit 100 bikes. The community bike-sharing system received a city grant to give people in Centretown, Lowertown and the Beechwood area access to low-cost bike rentals. Eight new stations have been added to the existing seven Right Bike stands, which were located in the west end. The new stations are mainly located in Centretown, but Right Bike’s Shane Norris said he expects an additional five or six stations to be added as the service moves eastward into Lowertown and along Beechwood Avenue. Right Bike has already surpassed the number of stations the city expected it to be able to add with the $30,000 Better Neighbourhoods grant it was given, Norris said. “Now we are pushing beyond,”
he said. Right Bike has already seen a boost in use from the new stations. Norris said there were 300 trips made by Right Bike by this time last year and 500 trips made in the same period this year. Users can buy six-month memberships for $60, a three-day pass for $20 or a one-day pass for $5. The bikes can be checked out by picking up lock keys at a hub, as listed on rightbike.org. Bikes can be returned to any hub. The next stations to open will likely be at the Centretown Community Health Centre at 420 Cooper St. and the Lowertown Community Resource Centre at 40 Cobourg St. Stations in the Beechwood area will be added last, in September and October. “We are building the infrastructure and slowly expanding eastward,” Norris said. “We can’t have standalone stations ... They need to be part of a network.” Right Bike’s season ends Oct. 31, so getting all the new stations in place and agreements signed with
locations means they will all be ready to go when Right Bike starts up again next spring, Norris said. But to get there, Norris needs more bikes. He is looking for people to donate their unused three-speed “cruiser” style bikes in any condition, which he then refurbishes and paints in Right Bike’s signature lilac colour. Anyone from across the city can donate bikes by bringing them directly to Right Bike at 1A McCormick St. in Hintonburg, to Cycle Salvation, 473 Bronson Ave. in Centretown or to either Habitat for Humanity Re-Store location (7 Enterprise Ave. or 2370 Walkley Rd.). Bikes can also be picked up from anywhere in the city. Pickups can be arranged by emailing rightbike. cwc@gmail.com or calling 613722-4440. Bikes or bike parts that Right Bike can’t use area donated to Cycle Salvation for use and resale through its skill-sharing program, or given to Habitat for Humanity as scrap metal to sell for recycling. The service has 65 bikes avail-

EDITORIAL
Impromptu memorials are valid
P
reventable deaths are painful for those left behind. It’s understandable that those who have lost a loved one would want to help others avoid a similar outcome, hence the increasing number of ghost bikes in the city. A ghost bike is an old bike turned memorial. They stand near the site of the fatal accident. To some they are a critical reminder and tribute, while others see only chaos, ugliness or a reminder of death. Those who have recently complained about a ghost bike at Bank Street and Riverside Drive may prompt the city to enact a process that runs counter to the spirit of the ghost bikes. The city would do well to avoid feeling pressured to act. Ghost bikes are a spontaneous response to a spontaneous event. If they grab the attention of passers-by then that’s a good thing. What better place to remind drivers of the possible consequence of bad driving than the place where a death occurred? Reality shouldn’t be hidden away. It
should be as in-your-face as the death was for the unfortunate rider. A potential bonus is that drivers may even slow down when they are reminded of the risks their cars pose to those on bikes or on foot. Cyclists in turn may be reminded to ride defensively. It’s a good time to discuss the issue because it’s been a year since a ghost bike was erected at the corner or Bank and Riverside, after a rider was killed in a collision with a cement truck. That site has been decorated for special occasions – such as St. Patrick’s Day – and has also been kept neat and clean by volunteers. There have been flags for Canada Day and flower planters brighten the spot. It would be fair to say it’s one of the cleanest street corners in the city thanks to their efforts. While these memorials should never impede public walkways, those who complain the bikes should be removed because they remind others of death, or are an eyesore, are missing the point.

Camping’s a breeze – until you go it alone
A
lot of people I know are intimidated by the idea of tent camping with their kids. I probably would be, too, except that I’m married to a Boy Scout. Actually, he was never part of the organization, but anyone who knows my spouse understands he can as easily whittle oversized camp cooking utensils from branches (he did this 13 years ago on our first camping trip together when we forgot the utensil bag), as he can fix a bride’s manicure using only the contents of his wallet. (The latter occurred at the nuptials of my brother and sister-inlaw and earned him the nickname MacGyver). My children know mom is useless when it comes to manual skills, while

If their bike chains fall off, they would rather call dad at work to ask him how to fix it themselves than approach mom about it. People talk about preparing for an emergency – the 72-hour kit and so on. I’ve got water, beans and flashlights, but really, my only hope of surviving any kind of major disaster is to be in the presence of my spouse.

How else will I figure out a way to open the beans without the electric can opener? Camping with the Mister, as you can imagine, is a dream. The man can string a tarp like nobody’s business. He can sew a leaky tent and start a fire with a single match. He even knows how to make a forest latrine – a pee pit, if you will – pretty useful, depending on the distance from tent to flush toilets. When we camp as a family, my spouse often prefers me to take the kids to the beach and just “leave him to it” to get the site organized. No problem. But every once in a while, I start to feel a little jealous of my spouse’s practical skill set and all the admiration that goes along with it.

then I decide to do something really brave – or crazily overconfident – to demonstrate my can-do attitude and ability. This year, I booked seven nights of tent camping with my three children (including a potty-training twoyear-old), and I’m going in August, while my husband is stuck at work. Yup, I’m going it alone. My boys are old enough to understand that this may not be the greatest plan in the world. Still, they’ve been enthusiastic supporters. (They’re dreaming of eight glorious days of freedom in the woods and at the beach). When I first informed them of the trip, they promised they would help me out with all the things I’m “not very good at.” As they listed off some of the things they intend to do – put up the tents, inflate the air mattresses, climb a tree to string a clothesline and start the campfire – I realized I had grossly overestimated their confidence in me.
Still, I’m sure it will all be just fine, right? While I may turn out to be a camping disaster, I’m counting on the fact that my kids – who actually are in Boy Scouts and have Mister for a dad – will keep things ticking along smoothly.

Better maintenance comes to Ottawa Community Housing Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
R0012772928
News - Ottawa Community Housing is investing $5.2 million for new technology to help it keep up with a growing portfolio of affordable housing units. One of the key pieces modernizes the way the city’s largest social housing provider
deals with a long list of maintenance requests, which numbered 91,000 last year alone. Ottawa Community Housing had always sent out those work orders for everything from leaky faucets to broken elevators via fax, a labour intensive process that takes too long now that OCH has 15,000 units and 32,000 tenants. Now, OCH’s 105 mainte-
nance workers get those requests instantly to handheld devices, meaning they can make better use of their time, said the organization’s new chief executive office, Stéphane Giguère. “Instead of going back to the office, now, you can stay on the road and you can continue your work,” he said. “You have less people that have to inter-
vene, so the response times are faster.” The changes aren’t noticeable yet, said Kat Fortin, an OCH resident and board member of the poverty advocacy group ACORN. But she looks forward to the improvement, since maintenance requests could take a long time in the past, depending on how high of a priority
the work was. Understanding the type of maintenance that needs to be done and how to prioritize it is another benefit of the new technology, which is provided by Northgate, Giguère said. The $1.8 million system will finally enable OCH to track data on maintenance work and use that information for quality and performance management.
The remainder of the technology spending is focused on new, integrated email and financial software. In the future, the system will also allow residents to submit maintenance requests and manage their accounts through an online portal. That capability will happen in the next year to 18 months, Giguère said.
Food Lover’s Field Days Take your taste buds out for a test drive
“Culinary tourism has become very popular over the past few years,” said Jennifer Gaines, Travelocity.ca editor in a news release. “People are travelling to cities around the world just to have an opportunity to savour the local cuisine.” It sounds more complicated than it is – simply stated, it’s a travel experience anywhere that allows visitors to sample, learn, discuss and appreciate food and drink that is associated with the heritage and/or culture of a defined area. Usually the chef, grower or manufacturer is on hand to guide the guest through the processes of growing, harvesting and preparing certain foods akin to certain regions. And it’s not just about gourmet food as you’ll experience the second annual Food Lover Field Days event Saturday and Sunday August 16th and 17th in the fairgrounds at the award-winning Upper Canada Village near Cornwall, Ontario!
Over thirty artisan food, wine and beer vendors from across the South eastern Ontario region will be sampling and selling their wares. Outside of the fairgrounds The Village’s own characters from the past will be presenting the region’s original 100-mile diet through heirloom garden tours and special heritage cooking demonstrations. Guests can taste-test in the historic kitchens, watch flour grinding in the mill, baking bread the original way and making the Villages own cheddar cheese in the factory. The highlight of the weekend will take place on Saturday, August 16, with an allnew IRON PAN COMPETITION. Chefs from across the region will vie for the judges’ favour as they create a dish using a box of local mystery ingredients, each using a single cast iron skillet – a most fitting utensil to use in an 1860’s pioneer village.

Hockey charity gets kids on the ice Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Instead of playing in the sun, a group of children from the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre donned helmets, gloves, skates and jerseys to play a little hockey this summer. On July 30, the children were bused from their Vanier location to the Minto Skating Centre for a rare opportunity to learn how to play hockey.
Everything provided during the day - busing, equipment and lessons were thanks to Share the Puck, an organization that aims to give children who otherwise do not have the opportunity to play hockey, the chance get involved in the game. The organization was created by Nepean native John Ollson who said a lot has changed since he first laced up his skates as a kid, learning the game of hockey on a homemade skating rink. He said

Children from the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre took to the ice on July 30 to learn how to skate at the Minto Skating Centre. The children participated in the Share the Puck program, which helps introduce the game of hockey to young individuals who don’t normally have the opportunity or the means to play. on doubling that number by the end of the year. And ultimately, the he said he hopes initiatives like his take off across Canada, with individual communities running such programs. The most important thing, Ollson added is that all the money raised or donated goes directly into the program. What can’t be raised in actual money, Ollson said has been given in kind. The Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association will be donating volun-
teers, ice time and equipment. As a former professional hockey player who also played for the Ottawa 67’s, Ollson said he just wants to let others learn and enjoy the same game he loves. “I want to introduce kids to the game of hockey who do not have the resources to participate,” he said. More information about the program is available at sunsetbaytechnologies.com/sharethepuck.

the average cost for a five year-old to sign up for hockey is $500 and that cost, he added, can go up from there, depending on skill level. “The game of hockey has become too much about money,” Ollson said. “It makes sense if you are 15 yearsold and you are playing in AAA, but to get to that level, you need to start somewhere.” And that’s why Ollson said he partnered with other fellow hockey friends, including the Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association, to create the Share the Puck organization with one main objective - to remove the financial barrier and encourage participation in the game of hockey for children seven to 12 years-old in the capital region. The organization recently received an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant which has helped the charity grow. So far this summer, the organization hosted six sessions for children across the city. By mid-August, the program will have seen 450 students skating on Minto Skating Centre’s ice - already meeting the programs initial goals, but Ollson said that with the Trillium grant and what he is willing to fund or raise through sponsorships, he plans

Enjoy cherry clafouti, a unique country pudding Lifestyle - Classic clafouti (kla-foo-tee) is a French country pudding usually made with cherries, but it can also be made with sliced peeled peaches, pears, plums or apples. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: 40 to 45 minutes. Servese eight. Ingredients
• 5 ml (1 tsp) butter or margarine • 15 ml (1 tbsp) granulated sugar • 625 ml (2-1/2 cups) frozen pitted sour cherries, thawed and well drained • 3 eggs • 75 ml (1/3 cup) granulated sugar • 250 ml (1 cup) part-skim milk • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each of vanilla and almond extract • 125 ml (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour • Pinch salt
‘Complete’ street Preparation
Butter a 25-centimetre (10inch) fluted flan pan or 23centimetre (nine-inch) square cake pan and sprinkle it with sugar. Arrange the cherries over the sugar. In a large bowl and using electric mixer, beat the eggs with sugar at high speed for about two min-
Churchill Avenue opened to twoway traffic on Aug. 1 between Carling Avenue and Clare Street. The first part of a two-part project that will wrap up next year, the newly opened segment is the first Ottawa street to undergo a ‘complete street’ transformation. Cycling lanes, wider sidewalks, improved intersections, lights and landscaping are all part of the treatment. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, left, pressed city staff to make Churchill a complete street in advance of the scheduled renewal project.
utes or until frothy. Beat in the milk, vanilla and almond extract. Beat in the flour and salt until well combined. Pour the mixture over the cherries. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the custard is set in centre and lightly browned. Serve warm. Foodland Ontario Photos by Steph Willems/Metroland

Neighbour helped neighbour to get ‘thrashing’ done
T
he whole house had been wakened at dawn. Sleeping in that day was not in the plans. Breakfast was not the usual, take-your-time meal it generally was. There was work to be done – chores to get out of the way, once they had been milked, the cattle moved out of the barnyard and into the field near the creek. In the house, Mother was already rubbing salt and pepper on the biggest roast of pork in the smoke house, and the Findlay Oval was coming to life. Even Aunty was pressed into service, and was busily peeling potatoes on the end of the table. Aunty wasn’t really an aunt at all. Father said he had no idea who she was, Mother didn’t know her from a hill of beans, but she came every year to help. In the winter it was to mend socks and knit mittens,
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories in the spring it was sap time, and this time of year, she was there to help get ready to feed anywhere from 15 to 20 men. Every hand was needed, because today was threshing time, or as we called it back then: thrashing day. I could see the thrashing machine coming in our long lane, and already farm neighbours from all along the Northcote Road were milling about the barnyard. The barnyard was full of stoked grain, and neighbours’ wagons would be making trips back to the fields to bring in more to be fed into
the thrashing machine. It was already roaring like a train engine, and I could see graindust flying through the air. Father said at breakfast that the weather had co-operated. There would be no rain that day. The sun was already beating down on the men, and soon my sister Audrey would take out a pail of fresh well water, with shards of chipped ice from the icehouse. The men would all drink from the same tin cup. I wasn’t allowed to go into the barnyard that day. I would just get in the way, Mother had said. I would love to have
SCHOOL’S OUT
been closer to the action, but I had to content myself by sitting on a kitchen chair and looking out the window at the hive of activity going on outside. There didn’t seem to be much talking – there was too much to be done. There were Briscoes and Kallieses, and Thoms, and Beams. I could recognize their faces under their wide-brimmed straw hats. All neighbours, who one day would have the favour returned when their grain would be thrashed by the same farmers who were right there in our barn yard. When the break came for their dinner, they wandered over to the kitchen door. Two long benches had been put outside and basins of water with bars of homemade soap were beside them. Huck towels were folded and would soon be as black as a boot. The men dropped their straw hats on the ground, splashed their faces, rubbed on the soap, didn’t bother to rinse anything off, and swiped
at the dripping water with the towels. They headed into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table, which spilled over onto two planks that had been put on top of two sawhorses and covered with white flour bag sheets. It would serve as a second table. The kitchen was cooler than the summer kitchen, which held the Findlay Oval, but it soon warmed up with all the bodies inside. Some took red dotted handkerchiefs out of their overalls and wiped their sweating faces. It took Mother, Aunty and my sister Audrey all their time to keep the bowls of potatoes, beans, and turnips refilled. The big platters of roast pork vanished as if someone had cleaned them off with a dishcloth! Pies had already been cut, and were stacked on the bake table. There was no such thing as a clean plate for their pie, it was simply chucked off the pie plate and right onto the plate that had just held
their dinner. Almost everyone had a second piece, and even the last slice of bread had vanished. I listened to the talk around the two tables. It was all about the weather holding off, and what a stroke of luck that was, and how it was a blessing that everyone had good crops that year. They also talked about who would be the next to host the thrashing gang. The whole meal was over in jig time, and then they went back to the job at hand. Father said they would stay until all the grain had been thrashed, so that the thrashing machine would not have to make a second trip to our farm. And late in the afternoon, I heard the last of the big machine wind down. One by one the neighbours left, driving their wagons, or buggies, and the more prosperous of the lot, riding off in cars. By that time, Mother, Aunty and Audrey would have the kitchen back in order. The planks that served

A tribute to my good friend Joyce
W
e were both about five years old. It was the first time I had seen Joyce Francis, both of us brand new pupils at Northcote Public School. People often ask if my little friend Joyce really existed, or did I just create her to flesh out my Depression memories. She did indeed exist, and I remember that first day at school, so many years ago when a friendship was forged that would last for many decades down the road. What I remember so well, as the little girl sat directly across from me in one of

sight. Not like my face, which my brother Emerson often likened to a turkey egg. And there was Joyce with skin like a freshly ripened peach. Although we became fast friends, our lives were as different as night was from day. First of all, Joyce lived in a brick house – ours was log. There was a flush toilet, with real toilet paper. Ours was behind a cluster of cedar trees, with an Eaton’s catalogue on a spike.But when Joyce came to our farm to play, she used the outdoor privy just as if there was no difference between it and her modern facility at home. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was.Joyce had her very own bedroom, as did her brother Allan. I remember now, so many decades later, flowered wallpaper somewhere. Perhaps it was in the hall upstairs, or in Joyce’s bedroom, but in my mind’s eye, I see pink, which is still one of my favourite colours.

Joyce had a little wood pencil box. I think now that it was the only one at Northcote Public School, but per-
haps there were others, but I remember hers in particular. My pencils and eraser were in a little homemade drawstring bag. You opened Joyce’s pencil box with your
thumbnail, and it swivelled open, and there inside were her pencils and art gum, as neat as you please. One Friday, Joyce let me take her wood pencil box home for the weekend, which I took to the Lutheran Church on Sunday. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce wore store-bought underwear – mine were flourbags. Joyce wore little white socks with lace around the cuffs. She wore hand-knit sweaters. In spite of all this, what I considered grandeur, Joyce and I were best friends. It mattered not to her, that I came from a big rambunctious family, whom were poor as church mice, and most of my clothes were hand-me-downs or “madeovers.” That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce’s father drove a modern car. Until we got our
old Model T in a trade, we had to rely on Queenie, the buggy in the summer, and the cutter in the winter. And
of life. She married, had two children Frank and Janice, and was then widowed.
‘It mattered not to her, that I came from a big rambunctious family, whom were poor as church mice, and most of my clothes were hand-me-downs or “made-overs.” That’s the kind of friend Joyce was.’ often I was taken into Renfrew in that spanking new car, driven by Joyce’s father, and we would stop at Briscoe’s General Store for an ice cream cone, on Joyce’s suggestion. She knew for me, ice cream cones were a very infrequent treat. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce never lost her love
Derek Smith, who shared Joyce’s love of art, came into her life and they shared a dozen wonderful happy years together. When her memory started to fade, she depended more and more on her family. Finally, she made her home with her daughter Janice, who often compared her Mother’s failing memory
to that of a very young child. Yes Joyce, although suffering from dementia, became childlike. She loved to be read to, she smiled readily, she showed gratitude. Then, this gentle soul, this dear friend of mine for many decades, slipped away in her daughter’s arms on July 26 in Toronto. Those of us who had Joyce in our lives for decades will cherish those memories that set her apart from others. She will continue to live on in my stories, and those of us who have had the privilege of calling her a friend will meet in the little Northcote United Church to say our final goodbye on Aug. 23 at 10:30 a.m., and then we will gather in the one room school house next door to share memories of my little friend, Joyce Francis Fricker.

GIFTING TO CHARITY IS NOT JUST FOR THE WEALTHY. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it. by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, jhoule@sicotte.ca (613)-837-7408, ext. 260
It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.
Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

Paradox show goes east Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Fresh from his show Mind Games, which aired on Rogers Cable last fall, mentalist Jaymes White brings his new Paradox Tour
to the Shenkman Arts Centre on Aug. 16. His last show at Centrepointe Theatre sold out. White, a Nepean native and Carleton University grad, has been working on Paradox for the last year.
the Richcraft Theatre at the Shenkman Arts Centre. White promises to blow the audience members’ minds. “I guarantee you’ve never been to a show like it,” he said. Audience members are chosen to come on stage by White’s sidekick voodoo doll, Freddy. Tickets for the show are $33.75 and are available at shenkmanarts.ca. With files from Brier Dodge
For his work, White draws from his psychology degree. He also uses his acting chops for showmanship and calculates odds using statistics and demographic information.

News - For Meg Dussault’s family and friends, the
spot where she died while riding her bicycle is the apex of both their pain and their peace. The corner of Bank Street and Riverside Drive, arguably the most well-tended patch of pavement around, has become a place of reflection since Dussault, 56, was killed when a cement truck collided with her while turning right at the intersection more than a year ago, on July 30.

Taxi driver transports gunshot victim to hospital Police asking strip-club shooting witnesses to come forward Erin McCracken

News – A quick-thinking taxi driver whose passenger had been shot by an assailant outside a south Ottawa strip club over the weekend immediately transported the man to hospital.
Ottawa police were called in by hospital staff on Sunday, Aug. 3 to investigate Ottawa’s 24th shooting of 2014. Guns and gangs investigators are now working to piece together what happened in the lead-up to the violent altercation, which happened around 2:30 a.m.
Two men were leaving NuDen Gentlemen’s Night Club in a taxi cab when the vehicle was fired upon along St. Laurent Boulevard near Belfast Road. One man was shot in the back – his injury is not life-threatening. The second passenger and the taxi driver were not injured.
Police are investigating the possibility that the assailant and the wounded man knew each other. “We do not believe that it was random,” said Ottawa police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy. Investigators are seeking witnesses to the shooting,
Thank you!
since many questions remain unanswered, including the shooter’s identity and the type of weapon used. “No weapon was recovered,” said Soucy, who could not confirm whether the victim was co-operating with police. Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050.

News - A street corner in the heart of Centretown could look very different if a developer is given approval for a new mixed-use building. Kamlo Co. Tenancy has filed a site plan control application for the southeast corner of the intersection of Bank and Lisgar streets – officially listed as 318320 Lisgar and 235-241 Bank - with the aim of constructing a six-storey building with first floor commercial space. Currently, the site contains a one-storey building with storefronts facing Bank Street, as well as a small parking lot and two-storey retail building located behind it. The proposed L-shaped development would contain 22 residential units atop two commercial spaces, with one underground level of parking containing 39 spaces. Vehicle and pedestrian access would be from Lisgar, with commercial uses fronting onto Bank. Renderings submitted with the application shows an irregular front facing Bank with varying setbacks, making for the appearance of separate buildings, rather than a flat, vertical facade. A rooftop garden would be located on the second floor, with a terrace on the fifth. With a height that tops out at

City considers moving bike tribute It’s a spot her husband, Paddy Dussault, knows well. The couple’s home is only a couple minutes away, near Billing’s Estate, so he has to pass by the site of his wife’s death almost any time he wants to go somewhere. But instead of hiding away at home or finding a different route, Dussault finds himself drawn to the spot and to the improvised monument that pays respect to his late wife. Dussault didn’t put the monument there, but the ghost bike, a type of tribute that mysteriously appears thanks to the quick work of strangers, has become an important place of solace and focus for his grieving. “No matter which direction, I put my window down and I
say, ‘Hi honey, I love you and I miss you every day,’” he said. Driving by was how he first discovered the memorial. “I thought it was a generous gesture from this anonymous ‘group,’ ghost bikes, to have done it,” Dussault said. “It kind of ... Not kind of, it does preserve the memory of Meg for a lot of people.” It’s a place he goes to celebrate holidays like St. Patrick’s Day and Canada Day – lovingly tending to potted hibiscus, sweeping away dead leaves, repainting the bike, adding a new rosary. Seasonal decorations like a Winterlude Inuksuk drew a lot of attention, Dussault said. “It’s a memorial not unlike a gravestone in a cemetery, but there is something a little more joyous about this,”
Dussault said. He’s not alone. Meg Dussault’s three closest friends – pals from grade school who always stayed in touch – agree the bike has helped them find a way to face the tragedy head on and work to move past it. “To me, standing here, I’m a little bit baffled why I can look at where she was killed and know how violent it was, yet it brings me peace,” said Kathy Riley. “I can’t explain it, but we all feel very peaceful when we come here.” “It really is like an aura,” said another friend, Tina Belanger. “I feel like I’m close to Meg when I’m here. “I don’t have a sense of tragedy when I’m here and I feel that’s really strange.” Seemingly more so than other roadside memorials, the

stark white bikes have an impact on passersby. “They are really profound, quite visual and they get the point across,” said Rob Wilkinson, who runs the city’s road safety program. He often finds himself mediating discussions about traffic tragedies and the memorials that follow them. Ghost bikes are a gamble, Wilkinson said. They can serve a critical role in people’s mourning processes, but on the other hand, the surprise memorials could do more harm than good. “We’re in a delicate balance because we have some people who want their relatives to be remembered and we have other people who don’t and in the middle is the community ghost bike thing,” he said. No one group or person claims responsibility for the ghost bikes, which have become a phenomenon across North America and the rest of the world, Wilkinson said. “The one thing I know is that it is exceptionally organic in nature,” he said. He added
like a rock engraved with the work “love,” discovered on a recent visit. One young woman who said she cycles by the memorial every day paused to speak with the group gathered at the bike on the anniversary of Meg’s death and upon learning they were the family and friends of the deceased, she broke down crying. “I can’t explain it, but it makes me very emotional,” the woman said before biking off. That purpose isn’t lost on Meg’s family, especially her husband. “Not only is it a memorial to Meg’s memory, you hope that it causes people in both cars and bikes to pause and think about their safety (and) slowing down,” Dussault said. “That’s just kind of the ancillary benefit to doing this.” He assumes that’s the reason the stranger or strangers who install ghost bikes do it. “Clearly the people who put these ghost bikes here are doing it because they want to draw attention to the dangers of cycling and the need for responsible driving for both the cyclists, as well as the (motorists),” he said.

that’s the same tact most people would like the city to take when it comes to addressing long-term plans for the ghost bike memorials, which currently number about four in Ottawa. Quietly, the city has been discussing options for the future of Meg Dussault’s ghost bike, because it is situated on the sidewalk at a busy corner. Shifting the bike onto a nearby patch of grass is an option, but has yet to be discussed with the family and presents complications because the land is in the National Capital Commission’s jurisdiction. Meg Dussault’s sister, Mary Buckley, said one of the interesting aspects of ghost bikes is the memorials aren’t usually removed unless it’s done by the family. While the roadside memorial to her sister might not have a permanent purpose at Bank and Riverside, it’s a needed gesture right now, she said. The ghost bike has provided a way for strangers to communicate with the people who are close to Meg. So many people placed letters in the ghost bike’s basket and continue to do so, Riley said. If it’s not a letter, it’s a trinket,

Golf fundraiser aims to help restore historic church Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The parishioners at St. Clement Parish in Lowertown are on par to host another great fundraiser this year. For the second year, the church will host a golf tournament at Manderley on the Green Golf Course in North Gower to help raise money for the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restoration project. The fundraiser ended up being
the largest one in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, collecting $12,000 last year. This year, organizer John Fennelly said the church would love to once again raise that kind of money to help maintain the parishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150-year-old heritage building. The idea for the tournament was born when Fennelly and a group of avid golfers came up with the idea last summer to host a golf tournament as a means to raise
money for the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restoration project, he said he mostly thought it would be a nice way for parishioners to get out and have a good time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a best ball kind of tournament. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a good golfer -- itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about having a good time,â&#x20AC;? he said. Last year 75 golfers came out to play and so far, this year there are already 65 people signed up. Fennelly said the tournament is open to all and
encourages non-parishioners to come out and play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to get as many non-parishioners out to play as we can,â&#x20AC;? Fennelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important because that is money we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally see.â&#x20AC;? St. Clement Church moved from 87 Mann St. in Sandy Hill to Saint Anne Church in 2012. The restoration project involves masonry work as well as a change to the sanctuary in-
side the church to make it more suitable for the Latin liturgy performed there. The masonry work is something that could take years to complete, so Fennelly said beyond making the golf tournament an annual occurrence, the parish would also like to host two or three other major fundraising events in the year to help fund the restoration. Cost per golfer is $95 and includes golf, a cart, dinner
with wine and prizes. A tax receipt will be issued for approximately $20. Aside from playing the game there will also be a silent auction for people to participate in. The deadline to register for the tournament is Aug. 15. To donate to the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restoration project, visit stclement-ottawa.org or the church at 528 Old St. Patrick St. Tee-off time is 1 p.m.

Ottawa Idol encourages youth to audition Orléans teen Lindsay White enjoyed year as winner Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Arts - With the 2014 Ottawa Idol auditions fast approaching, 2013 champion Lindsay White is nearing the end of her run. “It’s been a really great experience,” she said. “I’ve per-
formed on CTV Morning Live, we’d had a couple of concerts and put together the original song ‘Deceiver’ which I’m going to record,” said 17-year-old White. The St. Peter High School student auditioned for Ottawa Idol in 2012 and placed second, and then won the title in
2013. She said she would encourage anyone thinking of auditioning this year to go for it. “You get a chance to perform in front of an actual audience and the judges, and you get to experience judges giving you feedback,” she said. “It’s good to know how you did and
����� ��� ������ ����� ��� ����� ������ ����� ���� ���� ��������� �������� ��� ����� ���������
how you can improve.” She remembers being nervous about her two-song audition, especially for the one song that had to be performed without any musical accompaniment. It paid off for the teen as she eventually won the grand prize and was crowned Ottawa Idol. “The experience after is really exciting because you get to prepare for the end of the year concert and work with a band and meet new people,” White said. Auditions for Ottawa Idol are being held at the Merivale Mall on Aug. 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a $20 registration fee to audition. The showcase competition will be held on Aug. 23 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Merivale Mall, and the Ottawa Idol finals will be held on Aug. 30

Last year’s Ottawa Idol winner Lindsay White, an Orléans teen, performs. This year’s Ottawa Idol auditions will be held Aug. 16 and 17. and then Sept. 6 for the top 10 at the Algonquin College Theatre. Ottawa Idol contestants cannot have released a profession-

News – The commemorative naming process is officially underway to decide whether or not the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge should be renamed Vimy Bridge. The Manotick and Barrhaven legion branches suggested the name to the city in July, in an effort to memorialize the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I. “Because it spans the Rideau Canal, a National Historic Site of Canada, a Canadian Heritage River and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and because it connects two entrances to the nation’s capital, this structure is more than a small local bridge connecting two communities,” reads the proposal on the city’s website. “The amount of traffic going by and over this bridge on a daily basis, both local and tourist,
events have already been adequately honoured across the city. “Although I respect the context of this name, I feel there are already many commemorative sites named after war or military events,” wrote Manotick resident Serge Lamothe in a letter to the editor. “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 ... Naming 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.” Desroches rejected the notion of the city’s over-supply of war commemorations. “From my perspective, I don’t think we can do too much
would mean that a lot of people would be reminded of Vimy (Ridge) and the sacrifices made by Canadian troops.” The $48 million bridge opened over the Rideau River on July 12, finally connecting the Riverside South and Barrhaven communities after several years of delays. Reaction to the proposed name has varied, with some residents arguing Vimy Bridge sounds too much like Vimy Ridge. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said that problem can likely be solved through the commemorative naming process this summer. “I think that’s something we can look at, whether it’s the Vimy Memorial Bridge or Vimy Centennial Bridge,” he said. “I think there’s room for some tweaking.” Comments on social media show some residents are concerned that military-related

to honour the sacrifice of our veterans,” he said. He also rejected suggestions that a Vimy Ridge memorial belongs downtown. “I find that rather patronizing of communities like Riverside South and Barrhaven. The message is we’re not part of the capital,” he said. “This is a major piece of infrastructure and it deserves a name that is fitting with its status.” According to the city, a commemorative name “honours individuals who have demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario and/or Canada; provided extensive community service; worked to foster equality and reduce discrimination; made a significant financial contribution to a park or facility, and the contribution significantly benefits the community that the park or facility serves or who has historical significant to the community, City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario and/or Canada.” Comments about the Vimy Bridge proposal will be accepted until Aug 27.

Fill a bag is back Charity Eco Equitable holds another fabric sale Michelle Nash

Routes AvAilAble!
News - Enough material to fill a shopping bag is what’s up for grabs at Eco Equitable’s latest fabric sale. The three-day sale begins on Aug. 11 and runs until Aug. 13 and will offer eager crafters, quilters and designers the opportunity to purchase as much fabric as they can fit into a regular shopping bag for $15. According to the organization, all its bins of fabric are coming out of storage for the two day event. In the past, the organization has held one-day only fabric sales, but executive director Anouk Bertner said the organization wanted to try something new and since a recent
surge of donations, it needs to offload some of its fabric. “We are bursting,” Bertner said. “The quality of donations has really gone up.” The sale will be set up in the organization’s classroom, to make space for all the stock. The fabric sale will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This event is cash only. Eco Equitable program is a non-profit organization which started as woman’s sewing cooperative using donated and recycled material to help teach its clients how to sew and build a sewing business. All the proceeds of the sale will go towards support for these programs. The charity is one of 18 that run out of Heartwood House, a charity co-op currently located on McArthur Avenue. Since its inception, Bertner said the organization has grown rapidly and fall programming for both the beginning and intermediate fall sewing courses are already full. “We are maturing as an or-
ganization,” she said. In addition to the interest in the sewing classes, the charity has launched a new program this fall. Responding to the request from its students, Eco Equitable will offer a home decor course. It will teach students how to decorate either a personal space or allow for the production of professional materials for sale. “We are excited to help out our clients with this new program,” Bertner said. “We are hoping to do a lot of field trips to textiles, and a lot of Ottawa-based companies to help the group make connections to build their own business or gain employment somewhere.” There is still space available in the home decor program, which costs $100 a month, or eight sessions for $100. The program runs from September to December on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 to 4 p.m. To register for the program call 613-562-1739.

Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward Dear Neighbours, I would like to take this opportunity to once again say thank you to the many community groups who invited me to BBQ’s and Summer Festivals over the last month. I appreciate the invitations and enjoy these events that bring our communities together; to celebrate not only our diversities but also our similarities. Michele Park: I was proud to welcome folks to a BBQ in Michele Park as we celebrated the completion of its renewal. The upgrades came as a result of discussions our office had with local residents. Michele Park now has a paved, lit pathway which provides residents with safe access to Carling Avenue year round. New benches, an upgraded sports field and new fencing on the perimeter of the park, were also installed. Woodpark Community Initiative: The intersection of Ancaster Avenue and Flower Avenue in the Woodpark neighbourhood has lovely new street art. Our office was pleased to assist with facilitating its completion in co-operation with the Better Neighbourhoods Pilot Project. It was amazing to see so many residents come out to participate. Special thanks to Tanya Krupilnicki and Jennifer Myres who took up the challenge and organised the event. I encourage you to drop by and see the finished project.

I hope you and your family enjoy the rest of your summer and good luck to all our students who are returning to school in September.

Community festival aims to light up the night Lumière Festival perseveres after late start Michelle Nash
Michelle.nash@metroland.com
Help them Today. Change their Tomorrow! At only ten years old, Elissa has already faced a number of challenges in her life. She is being raised by a single mother who has to work two jobs in order to support her three children. Because her mother could not afford to send her children to daycare or summer camps, Elissa became the caregiver of her two younger siblings. When school was out for the summer, she spent her days at home tending to her brother and sister. As soon as a neighbour noticed that three children between the ages of five and ten were home alone until late at night, he called the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. Elissa’s mother was not abusive, she simply did not have the resources or funds to ensure her children were properly supervised throughout the day. The Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa supported the family financially; the younger children were able to attend day camp, while Elissa had the opportunity to join a dance camp. As a result, Elissa has since flourished into a dynamic young lady full of energy and dreams for the future. With the help and support of the Foundation, all three children developed new skills, were able to interact with people their own age and made lasting friendships all while being kept safe and secure.

News - Thanks to some community-minded individuals in New Edinburgh, the 12th annual Lumière Festival will go ahead as planned this year. Festival organizer Anthony King said planning for the Lumière Festival’s Aug. 16 Evening of Light Celebration hit a rough patch earlier this year when funding the New Edinburgh Community Arts Centre relies on to run the annual event remained unconfirmed and long-time volunteers were unavailable to help out. King said it wasn’t until a few community members offered to help out that organizing could move forward. “We had a bit of a scramble to get things started,” King said. “Funding wasn’t confirmed and we were missing volunteers. We thought we could do this, but we wanted to make sure we could do the festival properly. Then
we had a couple of energetic volunteers who stepped up to make sure it could happen.” King said the last-minute addition of volunteers will keep the dynamic, fun-filled atmosphere of the event intact. “There will be a focus on the community and we want the community to come and participate -- that is what makes the festival,” he said. King added the festival is always looking for volunteers and encourages anyone interested to contact the centre at info@nectarcentre.ca. The celebrations begin with a parade at 5 p.m. from Crichton Street and the St. Patrick Street Bridge. The parade will wind its way along the Rideau River to Stanley Park. Everyone is encouraged to dress up in costume for the celebrations, King said. Dragons, fairies, knights, wizards are all welcome. The event will include a Company of Fools performance

A full list of the workshop dates is available on the New Edinburgh Community Arts Centre’s Facebook page. One change this year will be the lantern lights. After the fire department expressed concerns about the festival using tea lights in the paper lanterns, citing a number of close calls last year, the festival has been asked to use other forms of illumination. For all lanterns participating in the festival, battery operated as well as glow sticks will be provided by the centre. “The fire department has asked that community lanterns cannot have flames,” King said.

Gloucester Fair continues on as Capital Fair Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – Between 50,000 and 100,000 people are expected to help usher in a new era for the Gloucester Fair, now known as the Capital Fair. The newly rebranded event is about more than simply a name change after 38 years – it has been expanded from four to 10 days, and has been moved to August from May, due to competing events and sometimes poor weather. With good weather, the Gloucester event drew about 25,000 over the weekend. “It was a tough date to play,” said Harley Bloom, who has been with the volunteer fair board for the past 35 years. This year, it takes place from Aug. 15 to 24. Organizers are optimistic the sweeping changes will translate into success for the event, which is now being billed as
a regional fair. Other changes include an expanded midway. World’s Finest Shows will be bringing 30 rides, more than double what was available at the Gloucester Fair. The Capital Fair is not to be confused with the more than 100-year-old Central Canada Exhibition, which stopped operating about four years ago. Lansdowne Park was its home for a number of years. “The Ex was the big show in Ottawa, no question,” said Bloom. “Unfortunately, at this point they’re not able to continue.” World’s Finest Shows was traditionally the Ex’s midway operator every August. “We’re trying the time slot to see how the public will accept it,” Bloom said. In the lead up to the Capital Fair, organizers have scheduled a host of new features to draw in the crowds, including free admission to the fairgrounds at
the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre, courtesy of VLN Technologies. “So that helps a family come to the fair and makes it very affordable,” Bloom said, adding they hope to offer that feature for years to come. A number of agricultural elements will be included this year, though the fair board is looking to expand that component in coming years. “We’re already working on next year,” said Bloom, adding they hope to include 4-H youth exhibitors, as well as contests featuring horses, cattle, sheep and dogs. In the meantime, fair-goers will soon enjoy the expanded Western Horse Show, complete with barrel racing. The Papanack Zoo will show exotic animals, a blacksmith is returning after a brief hiatus, and other acts will include a petting zoo, birds of prey and a reptile rainforest. See MUSICAL on page 38

A pet show has been added, and will include agility training and a dog-stunt show. “That’ll be a bit of fun for the kids to watch – dogs walking tightropes and driving cars,” Bloom said with a chuckle. Monster Truck shows have been included for a sixth year, which typically have drawn about 5,000 fans. Zombie-wannabes won’t be left out of the fun. Fair patrons who arrive on Aug. 19 dressed as the walking dead and with a non-perishable food item can purchase a ride bracelet at a discounted price. Donated foods go to the Ottawa Food Bank. “We’re going to have a theatrical set in place so the zombies can take selfies,” Bloom said. Tasty treats will be another attractive feature, particularly during the Southern Comfort Smoked to the Bone Barbecue Championship on Aug.
23 and 24. “Ottawa is probably the hot bed of southern barbecue in Canada. We have more amateur teams here and more professionals now that have actually graduated (from amateur status) than anywhere else,” said Bloom, president of the Canadian Southern BBQ Association. “This competition has really made the difference.” During the first day of competition, Canadian professional teams will vie for $10,000 in prize money, while amateur backyard barbecue enthusiasts will compete for a smoker. “If you like old-style southern smoked food, like ribs and chicken, and brisket, pulled pork, this is the place to be,” he said, adding that fair-goers can sample each entry for $1 and vote for their favourites. The fair will also feature an eclectic array of local musical talent, arm wrestling competitions, and new this year, there will be horse racing on

Aug. 22. The day before the fair opens to the general public, Hydro Ottawa will once again sponsor a free day at the event for more than 1,000 developmentally delayed and physically disabled children. “The rides go a little slower; we have a hot dog and ice cream lunch for them,” Bloom said, adding that there will also be live musical entertainment, a petting zoo and a clown to round out the special day. “This is probably one of the best days of the year for the kids,” he said. For a complete fair schedule, visit capitalfair.ca. The Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre is located at 4837 Albion Rd. Organizers are currently working on providing a shuttle bus to the fair for those who rely on public transit. Parking will be available at the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre for a suggested $5 donation to a children’s charity.

Festival of Nations expands this year Vanier event aims to draw more crowds Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Vanier’s summer festival returns this year with double the fun. The Festival of Nations will take place over two days this month, Aug. 23-24 adding entertainment, activities and youth participation to the festival plans. The change, festival organizer Dan Shipley said, makes him believe that this year’s turnout will be greater than its inaugural year. “Last year the festival took place on one day at five venues,” Shipley said. “This year, we are increasing the festival to a two-day event and reducing the number of venues. There are several new activities this year, and we are especially excited by the addition of workshops for youth.” This year, with the assistance of Museopark, the Ottawa Public Library and some private partners Shipley was happy to say there will be workshops in Métis dancing, Métis beading, storytelling in French and English and drumming.
“We believe this adds exciting opportunities for the youth and kids of Vanier, it also adds cultural richness to the entire festival ... one of our key objectives from the beginning,” he said. The festival was created last year by Shipley and was supported by the Vanier Community Association and a Better Neighbourhoods grant from the city. This year, the festival is being operated on a shoe-string budget Shipley said, with a lot of help from local organizations and groups, including Quartier Vanier, Pauline Charron Centre, the Eastview Legion, Museopark and the Optimiste Club. There is also a new flag program which is being operated through summer camps at Museopark and the Vanier Community Service Centre. Leading up to the festival, children between the ages of four and 12 years-old who attend the summer camps will be making their own personal flags. An artist from Arts Vanier is working with the children to help them
design and learn how to make their flags. Funding for the flag making has been provided by a grant from the United Way Ottawa. Each flag-maker and their family will be invited to carry their flag in the festival’s parade, at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 23. The Parade will start at the Vanier Cenotaph at Marier Avenue and Hanna Street, and heads to the Eastview Legion on Cyr Avenue. At the legion, the flag-makers and families will have the opportunity to spend a few minutes inside to hear the legion’s sergeant-at-arms speak about official flags and ensigns, and how they are used. The Aug. 23 events will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. at three venues; the Ottawa Inn Hotel parking lot at 217 Montreal Rd., the Eastview Legion and the Mosse Lodge – behind the Shoppers Drug Mart on Montreal Road near the Vanier Parkway. Activities and events for Saturday include the parade, music and antique vehicles at the Moose Lodge, music at the legion. An open mic stage and drumming clinic at the Ottawa Inn Hotel parking lot, a barbecue and

Each microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. The OHS holds microchip clinics throughout the year. The cost is $50, a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. Microchips will not fade

While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca. The next clinic runs Aug. 24.

Each month, hundreds of stray animals are brought to the OHS. Sadly, many have no identification, which makes it difficult for shelter staff to find their owners. A microchip provides a permanent, non-removable means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin and is virtually painless.

Inaugural non-stop paddling marathon to flow through Ottawa Kingston to Ottawa race to span 202 kilometres, 22 portages Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Sports – Equal parts of sheer will, a thirst for adventure and a zest for paddling will be just some of what is required for the successful completion of an inaugural 202-kilometre race from Kingston to Ottawa later this month. In a word, the K20 endurance paddling marathon will be grueling, said competitive paddler and event co-organizer Gaetan Plourde. “It’s definitely a very tough challenge for people,” the Perth resident said of the race, which must be completed within 32 hours. “They have to prepare mentally.” About 60 to 70 per cent of the race will be mental “... just
because (at) three o’clock in the morning when you’ve been racing for 20 hours or so and you’re very, very tired and it’s dark outside and you’re in pain – how do you convince yourself to keep going to the end of the race?” he said. Already, more than 60 participants on more than 30 teams from Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, and as far away as the Yukon and the United States, have signed up for the adventure that takes place on Aug. 16 and 17. They will travel along the Cataraqui River, across several lakes, then the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal. “In general, I think that adventure racing is growing,” said Plourde. “There is interest in ob-
stacle races, there’s interest in long-distance races and ultralong-distance races. So, as a whole, I think that the market for adventures and people who want to challenge themselves is growing.” After launching in downtown Kingston, K2O participants will race against time, until they reach their final stop at the Corktown Footbridge in Ottawa. “It’s straight through, so there’s no mandatory rest stops,” said Plourde. “Racers will be going through the night with lights on their heads and lighting provided at some of the lock stations along the way.” The paddlers’ support crews are allowed to carry gear, food, water and other provisions,

such as medical supplies and a change of clothes, along the way. Those taking part in the competitive classes will need to portage their own boats 22 times, while racers in the adventure classes can ask their support crews to portage for them. “It really is to prove to yourself that you can do it,” said Plourde. “It’s the personal challenge, I think, that drives most, but it’s the spirit of adventure racing that draws people to these types of events.” As a competitive canoeist, he has tested his own mental and physical might in longdistance races in the U.S. and Australia, as well as the daunting 715-kilometre Yukon River Quest, the longest canoe and kayak race in the world. He shared his idea for the race with long-time friend and fellow competitive paddler, Stittsville resident Ian Mockett. “For several years we’ve been doing some racing, and a few years back the idea just came to me – that there’s no

real long races in Ontario and we should set one up,” said Plourde. “One day, we went to train on the Rideau Canal and the vision really formed and we said, ‘We have to make this happen.’” The Ontario Marathon Canoe and Kayak Racing Association agreed to sanction the race, and Parks Canada, which governs the waterways they’d earmarked for the event, gave the pair the green light. “It’s a beautiful area,” Plourde said. “One, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, and in terms of paddling the Ottawa-Kingston area, it’s one of the best routes that’s available with easy portaging in between and easy for support teams to get access to their paddlers.” Plourde is very familiar with the pull of competitive paddling set against the backdrop of rugged landscapes in all weather conditions, not just for hours, but for days at a time. “Often it’s people who enjoy paddling to begin with,” he said of those who are drawn to this sport. “And then they do a couple
of races and they (realize) longer races are a bigger challenge for them.” The K2O is open to canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, outriggers and voyageur canoes, as well as solo paddlers, pairs or teams, including relay teams. Boats with sails or pedals are not permitted. Given the growing interest in the first-time event, Plourde is already envisioning success for years to come. “Certainly, we’re hoping this will be the first of an annual event, and in future years we’re going to be looking at expanding it in different ways, but this year is our proof of concept, if you will,” he said. Though Plourde is enjoying co-organizing the firstyear marathon, he has his eye on eventually conquering the K2O himself. “I’d love to race it one day,” he said. The deadline for registering is Aug. 15, the day before the race begins. For details, visit kingston2ottawa.ca, or facebook.com/kingstontoottawa200.
Bingham Park public art narrowed down Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Each project proposal proved to be a little different, but all four ideas presented at an open house for a Bingham Park art installation were fences. The call for artists to help beautify Bingham Park was issued in May. Since then, the city received 24 proposals, varying in design and ideas, but when it came down to it, Hannah Kingscote said the jury chose fence designs. “There was the option for a number of spaces, including the hill in the park and the fence line, it just so happens that the jury chose four fence designs,” said Kingscote, a member of the of the public arts commission team. That the proposals are all fences is where the similarities end. Each project pres-
ents its own unique characteristics. Tim desClouds lumber and playhouse creation is meant to represent both the history of Samuel Bingham as well as highlight the park for children. His fence creation includes seating built in on the park side of the fence. Cairn Cannune’s creation is a metal fence with two large towers at the entrance. A wavy structure, Cannune said his proposal represents the history of the Lowertown, with the waves representing the Rideau Canal and the tall structures representing the buildings in the neighbourhood today. Stained glass artist Detlef Gotzens fence is a combination of applied and functional art – filled with stained glass for the sun to shine through. Gotzens said he wanted to see lots of colour in the park because
it is mainly a place where children play. The final fence is a unique combination of structural and modern mixed-media art. Created by Michael M. Simon and Studio F Minus’ Mitchell Chan presented a pixilated photo fence. The two said they wanted to have a fence which represented today’s way of looking at things - through your cell phone camera. Made up of a picture of the park Chan mentioned that depending on where someone will stand looking at the fence, they would be
able to see the whole picture or pieces of it. The art project has a budget of $155,000 and was proposed as part of the Sussex Drive reconstruction project. Because of limited streetscape space on Sussex Drive, Bingham Park was picked for the location. The public can view the art proposals and submit comments online at ottawa. ca. The deadline for comments is Aug. 10. Kingscote said the winning artist will be announced in mid-August.

The Art on the Farm event
‘I’m doing this for my patients’ By Tracey Tong
As a medical oncologist with the regional cancer program and medical lead with the breast disease site at The Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Segal is very familiar with what her patients go through. But what makes her patients relate to her as a doctor – and as a person – is her personal passion for the cancer cause.
of the event is to raise funds for cancer research. I’ll do as much as I can for the cause.”
This year marks the fifth that Dr. Segal will be volunteering as a Ride Guide for Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontario’s largest single day fundraiser for cancer research. Part of her area of research includes exercise and survivorship, but that’s not why chooses to go above and beyond her work at the Hospital. “I’m doing this for my patients,” said Dr. Segal, who added that learning about her participation in the event helps her patients become more comfortable with her.
For the doctor, the best part about Ride the Rideau is spotting her patients along the route. “Even though they usually recognize me before I recognize them, I get an incredibly warm feeling when I see patients riding,” she said. “And cycling is a great activity that’s open to everyone – you don’t need a special skill set to ride and you can ride a little or a lot. “I feel so proud about being a part of this cause.” As the signature fundraising event for The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, Ride the Rideau has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. To learn more about Ride the Rideau, or to register or sign up to volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.
