The new Ottawa River Runners clubhouse is officially open, beginning a new phase for the organization. “It’s the end of a dream, but the beginning of new chapter for the Ottawa River Runners,” said Jim Tayler following the ribbon cutting. Tayler’s son, two-time Olympian Michael and daughter Kathleen, started paddling with the club when they were eight and 11 years old. “We had no idea how it would influence our family life or what it has done for our children; it’s a special place,” Tayler said. It’s been quite a journey for the club, which until recently was operating out of rusted shipping containers. The new clubhouse overlooks the Pumphouse whitewater facility, located just east of LeBreton Flats. It’s a spot Mayor Jim Watson called a hidden gem that many in Ottawa don’t know about because it’s tucked away between Booth Street and Bronson Avenue, behind Albert Street. President of the club’s board of directors, Doug Corkery, said the club and the desire for a building goes back to the 1970s when local paddlers were looking for places in the city limits to train. Looking at the Pumphouse then, he said he couldn’t see how it could work, but eventually they returned, cleaning out a century’s worth of garbage, clearing dead trees and creating piles of rocks to form a course athletes could use for training. “The Holy Grail was always a building,” Corkery said, noting be-

cause the area belongs to the National Capital Commission, they couldn’t build just anything. It took eight years to get everything in order for the building and the goal was to have it ready for spring of 2016, then summer, then fall. Then winter brought unprecedented levels of precipitation, and the spring of 2017 flooded the area near the Pumphouse. “It was like working in a mud bath,” Corkery said. It was volunteers that brought the tons of steel and Douglas fir boards for the roof and walls down the steep hill when trucks couldn’t do it because of the soggy spring ground, Corkery said. “I’m indebted to all of the volunteers for saving my bacon,” he added. Club members and volunteers raised about $200,000 and an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant put their efforts over the top with a $150,000 capital grant. The group also received a grant from Bullfrog Power for the installation of a solar powered off-the-grid electrical system, providing power for running races, a security system and lighting. The clubhouse was finished in time for its grand reveal during the 2017 Whitewater National Championships, which was scheduled for July 31 to Aug. 6. It’s the first time the Pumphouse has hosted the competition since 2000. To be eligible as a host, groups need to have capacity for 200 boats. The shipping containers only held about 60. The event brought about 100 paddlers from the U.S., France and from across Canada, filling the clubhouse’s brand new boat racks.

Riley Brockington congratulated Hutton on the occasion, “Well I said I was going to 200,” she said with a laugh. Melissa Murray/Metroland

GreekFest opens Aug. 10 Festival shows off Canadian pride alongside Greek dancing, music and food BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

GreekFest has always been about sharing Greek culture with Canadians, but this year the event will also be about showing Canadian pride. In honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary, the loukoumades– best described as a Greek Timbit usually topped with honey – will be smothered in pure Canadian maple syrup, said the event’s cochair Tom Varvaresos. “We love to highlight our customs, food, our dance and community,” Varvaresos said, of this year’s festival, running from Aug. 10 to 20. “The theme has always

been about highlighting the culture that we as immigrants brought with us, but we are very much proud Canadians this year,” he said. This year, there will also be historical display highlighting parts of the community of Greek immigrants to Ottawa with photographs and memorabilia. The festival draws up to 80,000 people to the grounds, at the Greek Orthodox Church, at 1315 Prince of Wales Dr. The schedule is packed with musical entertainment and dancers, and there are also church tours in French and English, an artisans court, Greek mythology seminars and cooking classes. Don’t forget the food. It’s all homemade and the menu includes Greek salads, pita bread, new gyro poutine, souvlaki, platters, and roasted lamb. The festival takes place each year around Aug. 15; a day commemorating the Virgin Mary, for whom the Greek Orthodox Church is named.

That day includes the official opening ceremonies, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 12 and Aug. 19 are family days with appearances by local firefighters, the Shrine klowns and CHEO Bear.

‘We love to highlight our customs, food, our dance and community.’ GREEKFEST CO-CHAIR TOM VARVARESOS

The festival is free to attend, and is open during the week from 4:30 to 11 p.m. On the weekends the festival runs from noon to 11 p.m. There’s also a free shuttle service to and from St. Pius X School on Fisher Avenue. The times of the events and participating entertainers, as well as the menu and more are all available online at www.ottawagreekfest.com.

Britannia shooting leaves man in critical condition “It’s a little jarring for them for sure,” Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor said of how his residents are feeling after the recent shootings. “They are rattled, but for the most part … understand that these are isolated, targeted incidents.” Taylor has been checking in with neighbours, knocking on doors and speaking to the local health resource centre to make sure supports and resources are available for those who need them. “While they are uncomfortable with the idea of bullets flying around, they feel relatively safe,” Taylor said. Since the shootings on July 24, police have increased proactive patrols in the area, trying to bring a sense of reassurance to residents. Taylor hopes that residents will report incidents if they see anything suspicious. “Call the police, and let them know and give them the opportunity to be more tip of the spear for incidents like this,” he said.

A man is in hospital in critical condition after a daytime shooting in Britannia. On Monday, Aug. 1, about 3:40 p.m., residents in the area heard multiple gunshots and alerted a police patrol officer. A man, suffering from gunshot wounds, was found on Grenon Avenue. The man was taken to the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus and was in critical condition, according to paramedics. By the next morning, no arrests had been made. Police from the West division are investigating and looking into whether it was linked to the death of 36-year-old Esmail Sharifi, who was shot near Iris Street and Greenbank Road on July 31. The shootings come a week after three people were shot in the westend, two in Britannia Heights (one of them died) and a third was found dead of gunshot wounds in an idling car at Wayne and Aylen avenues in Woodroffe North. Police have arrested Alam Gabriel Buoc for the double homicide and attempted murder.

Ottawa police are investigating a daytime shooting in the Britannia neighbourhood that left a man in hospital in critical condition on Aug. 1 around 3:40 p.m. Recent shootings have prompted the ward councillor to check in with residents and to ready necessary supports for people in the neighbourhood. Metroland file photo

Taylor said police often speak of guns being the go-to weapon, as opposed to years ago when disputes were solved with fists or knives. “Guns now seem to be the first choice and that’s disturbing, of course. Not just the fact that gun violence is more pronounced, but also the fact that unlike knives and fists, stray bul-

Local Mosquitoes Test Positive for West Nile Virus Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is reminding residents to continue to protect themselves from mosquito bites when going outdoors. Mosquito trapping and testing, components of OPH’s West Nile virus (WNV) program, have confirmed the presence of WNV in Ottawa mosquitoes again this year. Local residents need to help reduce mosquito populations around their homes by getting rid of all outdoor objects that can hold water in which mosquitoes can lay their eggs. Thankfully, there have been no reported confirmed or probable human cases of WNV in Ottawa in 2017. In 2016, there were two confirmed or probable human cases in Ottawa, and 49 confirmed or probable human cases in Ontario.

Canada 150 Maple Trees in River Ward The City of Ottawa has planted 150 maple trees in Moffat Farm, local greenspace that straddles the Rideau River, off Prince of Wales Drive in the Carleton Heights community. This new grove commemorates Canada’s special birthday. In September, I will host an event with local residents and school children to welcome the new addition to our community.

Honouring Local Green Thumbs Every autumn, I visit local residents/gardeners who have tended beautiful flower gardens on their property, during spring and summer, to acknowledge their tremendous efforts and thank them for contributing to the beautification of our neighbourhood. If you have a neighbour or know of someone whose garden is spectacular, please contact my office.

OPINION

Connected to your community

The year of La Machine

t may be Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 but now this year is going to be known as the Year of La Machine. Even Ottawa 2017 organizers were amazed at the public’s reaction to this four-day downtown stroll by Long Ma the dragon-horse and Kumo the spider. An estimated 750,000 people swarmed the 27 kilometres of Ottawa streets in the downtown core where the pair of giant machines strolled from July 26 to 29. It left both Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme singing the praises of the event. Laflamme touted it as writing “a page in Ottawa history” while Watson called it a “fairy tale weekend that residents and visitors will never forget.” And, of course, the spinoffs in terms of business and international exposure were immense. Making the event even more memorable, if that could be, was the fact that glorious weather prevailed for the four days, the first real summer experience of the year after what seemed like daily rain throughout the spring and early summer. So, all in all, La Machine was an event that made its mark and in today’s world that craves spectacle and wonderment, La Machine rose to the top. As Watson

said, it “captivated the imagination” and “transformed our city into an enchanting and mesmerizing setting.” And while all of this is so true, we have to wonder about this event’s connection with Canada 150 and the $3.5-million expenditure from the city’s Canada’s 150 funding. It undoubtedly wrote a page in Ottawa history, as noted. The behaviour of the crowds showed Canadians to be who they are — a respectful, law abiding, appreciative bunch. Yes, this showed Canadians at their best. But La Machine was an event that could happen in any year. There was nothing linking it with Canada’s 150th. Do we have any better appreciation of our country and its history and its future from this La Machine event, a production of a street theatre production company from France? Surely the goal of Canada 150 celebrations should be to celebrate who we are as Canadians, to discover how we got to where we are today and to explore where we are going in the future. Alas, La Machine perhaps did not do this but, you have to admit, it sure was a fun and memorable experience and perhaps this says more about us as Canadians today than anything else could.

Road trip: the summer of spontaneous adventures

recently returned home from another road trip with the kids. My house looked abandoned. In place of the lush gardens of May and June was a weedy, overgrown mess. The lawn was uncut. The flower baskets sat dying on the front porch. I declare this a summer win. In early summer, I had a realization that at five, 11 and 12, my kids were the perfect ages to travel. For the first time, bladder control and reasonability would overcome their need to stop every 20 minutes on the highway. The older ones can navigate on a map, pitch a tent and entertain themselves for hours on end. Summer camp and work contracts be darned, I decided to make this the summer of spontaneous road trips. Normally, we’re conservative driv-

I’ve clocked 6,000 kms on my minivan this month, compared to our annual average of 10,000. We’re resting for a week, but the kids are conditioned to travel. I’ve decided to fulfil my lifelong dream of visiting Prince Edward Island. The trip is mapped out, the tent is drying on the line, and we are going for it. The kids are begging for more upscale accommodation, but I’ve told them Old Blue (our five-man Costco tent) is the ticket to our freedom. An entire week camping in Prince Edward Island National Park will cost a little over $200. Apologies to the neighbours for the state of the garden. I promise my husband is still living here. He just hasn’t had a lot of time to tend the flower baskets.

Councillor wants to work with police on missing seniors BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Area councillors should be made aware when a senior citizen goes missing from their neighbourhoods, said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney. Tierney pressed police Chief Charles Bordeleau for answers on protocols during the police services board meeting on July 24. Tierney, whose Facebook pages have thousands of followers, along with his Twitter account, said councillors could be an invaluable tool in getting the word out. “It’s not the same obviously, but when we get a notification about a missing puppy or cat, it’s usually found in a day,” Tierney said of being notified. At the board meeting, Bordeleau said there are a series of protocols police follow when it comes to missing persons reports.

He said councillors get notified of homicides and major events, but police could look at letting them know about missing persons. “We aren’t going to start sending all our communiqués to councillors for verification,” Bordeleau said. Board chair Eli El-Chantiry asked Bordeleau if it would be worthwhile to put out an Amber Alert – the emergency notification system in place for abduction of children – when seniors go missing. In recent news, Nelliya Karbisheva, 82, from Stittsville and Jean Proulx, 80, from Beacon Hill, both had dementia and wandered off before being found dead. In the United States, there is a form of Amber Alert for seniors – it’s called Silver Alert and is currently in place in 36 states. The alert can be activated at the local or state level and is usually issued when local re-

sources have been exhausted. Criteria for sounding the alarm vary, but it’s usually based on age – 65 or older for most states. Much like an Amber Alert, a description of the missing person is broadcast on radio and television and put on electronic road signs. In 2016 interview with Metroland Media, Sgt. Reno Rushford, head of the Ottawa police missing person unit, said with Ottawa’s growing seniors population, the specialty unit is fielding more and more reports of missing seniors. Many of those missing are elderly patients who have walked away from hospitals, psychiatric facilities and retirement residences. With seniors trying to stay in their homes longer, the unit also regularly fields calls about individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s who have walked away from their own homes. - with files from Erin McCracken

Council halts bunkhouses in six neighbourhoods BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Parking and trash are just some of the headaches councillors whose wards are home to the multi-bedroom residences deal with. On July 12 council did something about it. In a rare move, council approved an interim control bylaw that will put a one-year freeze on multiple bedroom residences — more popularly known as bunkhouses. “I don’t support these lightly,” Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said of bylaw. “It’s meant to target extreme cases. We are talking about four to six units on one floor of a building.” Chernushenko said the high number of units in a building meant as a single family home or a small low-rise apartment building puts a burden on the city, because there isn’t the set up to store the waste that the

number of residents create. He said residents don’t know each other and are often unfamiliar with the city’s trash pick up schedule — which could create a real mess for the surrounding neighbours. The bylaw will coincide with a review of the zoning for multi-unit dwellings in residential neighbourhoods. The interim bylaw buys council and city staff more time for that review. The so-called bunkhouses, or illegal rooming houses, are often single-family homes split into several units. The bylaw will concentrate on Sandy Hill, Heron Park, Old Ottawa East, Old Ottawa South, Centretown and Overbrook. River Coun. Riley Brockington asked city staff how the areas were selected as targets for the bylaw. The answer, from John Smit, manager of economic development and planning, said staff concentrated on areas of the

city that have demonstrated problems with bunkhouses. Developers can appeal the bylaw at the Ontario Municipal Board, but the bylaw would remain in effect until the outcome of the appeal is determined, staff told council. The city’s planning boss Stephen Willis said staff would need a year to work with the public on a new policy. Staff will report to planning twice in the year. Mayor Jim Watson said he thinks the bunkhouse issue is an important one. “It diminishes the quality of life in a neighbourhood,” he said. “Taking a property that houses a single home and turning into 30 bedrooms isn’t reasonable in residential neighbourhoods,” he said. Watson said with the advent of light rail, there isn’t the same pressure for university and college students to live in the neighbourhood immediately adjacent to their school.

Chelsea (ID# A200342)

Chelsea (ID# A200342) Meet Chelsea, a loyal and mature dog looking for her new best friend. Chelsea is a laid-back dog who always wants to be by your side. She enjoys naps taking going on daily walks. Chelsea would enjoy a relaxed home and gets along with respectful children. Could Chelsea be the dog for you?

Cultural exchange

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

Never Leave a Dog in a Hot Car As we head into August, the Ottawa Humane Society is asking our community to help us make sure no dog is ever left to suffer in a hot car again. It’s only through educating our community and spreading the word that we can make sure the animals in our community are safe all summer long. The temperature inside a car can quickly climb, turning it into an oven in minutes. A dog inside will begin to pant, drool, suffer increased heart rate, vomit, have seizures and could even die. The dog’s brain may swell, he may have trouble breathing. The heat may affect all his organs, including his heart, weakening the muscle until the poor dog goes into shock. The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N.: Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car. Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death. Notify authorities. Contact nearby stores and businesses. Ask them to make an announcement for the owner to return to their car. Get others to help you. If the dog is in distress call the Ottawa Police Service at 911. Stay on the scene to monitor the situation until the owner or help arrives.

Asha Hassan displays kabad, a traditional knit, that was made as a part of the seniors programs for cultural crafts at the Somali Centre for Family Services. The weekly program provides supplies and materials for the seniors to handmade traditional Somali pieces. The first Somali Culture Festival Day in Ottawa was held at city hall, with events run by the Somali Centre for Family Services with support from the city. The event took place on July 29 at Jean Pigott Place at city hall. The event, which they intend to hold on an annual basis, proudly displayed Somali cultural heritage through dance, music, and gathering.

Thrashing time was like a holiday

unt Lizzie called it “threshing,” but everyone I knew called it “thrashing.” Father said his sister got highminded when she moved to Regina and left the farm at Northcote behind, and sometimes he had no idea what she was talking about. Anyway, it was thrashing time and to me it was like a holiday ... just like the Saturday night card parties, only there was no music. Early in the morning, farm neighbours would start to arrive, and they would stand around the barnyard, smoking their pipes, waiting for Mr. Briscoe to bring the big thrashing machine, pulled down our long lane by his

There was nothing to do until could have Velma over to play.

neighbours who had come to help with the thrashing. Of course, Velma’s father, Uncle Alec was there too, as were a couple of her older brothers. The wonderful smell of roast pork and boiled turnips drifted through the open window, and Velma, far more adventurous that I was, said she couldn’t see any reason why we couldn’t go in and get ourselves a plate full of dinner, and eat it in the grape arbour. I said it was probably better if we waited until the men were served, and then we could venture in. Velma was all for charging in right then, but I told her she could go if she wanted, but I was waiting until I knew the workers were digging into their pies. And so we sat it out until Velma took a peek in through the window and said the pie was on their plates.

It didn’t take long for the men to clean their plates and head out the door to the job at hand. Velma and I went into the kitchen, where Mother and Audrey had collapsed onto two chairs with their plates in front of them at the old pine table. We grabbed two plates off the bake table, and loaded them with what was left of dinner, which wasn’t much. There wasn’t a scrap of pie. It looked like Mother and Audrey were all in. It didn’t take long for me to realize we had walked right into a pile of work. Mother said we could fill the dishpan with hot water from the reservoir, and start into washing up, and Velma could grab a clean tea towel. Well, that certainly wasn’t what either of us had in mind!

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might have your mind set on a vacation to an exotic location. If that is your ultimate goal, work toward making it a possibility in the near future.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is unwise to make any impulsive commitments or decisions right now. Too many things are in flux, and you have to work through all the scenarios for a little bit longer.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though you know what needs to get done, you may experience difficulty adhering to a schedule. Look to a friend to get you back on course. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Keep a spouse’s or special someone’s feelings in mind before making a decision that impacts you both, Libra. Otherwise, you risk damaging the relationship.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The key to creating some spark in your love life this week is through your social life, Gemini. Spend time with an eclectic group of friends who can offer a new experience.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week you may get the chance to revisit an issue from your past. Use the opportunity wisely, as second chances are rare and this is a unique opportunity.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, exercise patience in regards to a financial situation in the coming months. Patience may pay off if you can simply wait things out. Lean on a loved one for support.

Celebrating 45 years of Excellence in Dance Education

No time to play Continued from page 19

Mother made sure we had everything in order for the job at hand, and then she and Audrey took their loaded plates out into the grape arbour, and it wasn’t long before we could hear the sound of the swing seats gently going back and forth. Velma wanted to know how we got into cleaning up the dishes. I didn’t have an answer. I took a peek out the kitchen window. The swing had stopped moving. Audrey was asleep in one seat, and Mother in the other. My friend and I had no choice but to dig into cleaning up the dishes. Just when we thought we were finished, Mother said I was to get a pail of fresh water from the pump, and chip off shards of ice from the icebox, take a tin cup out of the cupboard, and take it out to the workers in the barnyard. There was no time left in the afternoon for Velma and me to play, and right then I decided when it came time for the thrashing machine to go to her farm, I would stay home. Spending a whole afternoon cleaning up the kitchen after more than a dozen farmers had eaten a full meal, was not my idea of a fun time. The last I saw of Velma that day, she was heading across the 20 acre field with her head down, and every step an effort. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
