Coalition makes 10 recomendations in wake of Abdi death Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
A coalition is calling for acknowledgement of what they say is a crisis in how police interact with members of visible minority communities and those with mental health issues. That was one of 10 recommendations put forward by the group, called Justice for Abdirahman, at a press conference on Aug. 4. The coalition represents Somali community members and Somali organizations in Ottawa.

Walk through LeBreton Flats’ past on Sunday Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
It may look like a fenced construction site now, but for an hour-and-a-half on Aug. 14 the public will be guided through Le-
Breton Flats to revisit what it once was. Hugh Daechsel, principal and senior archaeologist with Golder Inc., will be guiding a tour of what was once the Aubrey Row House, Firth Tavern, St. Famille School
and Occidental Hotel, as part of archaeology month. It’s proven to be a popular tour, this being the third time Daechsel has offered it for Heritage Ottawa. Each time it attacts about 30 to 40 people.

Daechsel has first-hand knowledge of the archaeological investigations that have taken place at the site over the past 15 years. His favourite finds have been in the hotel and the basements of the Row House, which was destroyed during a fire that swept through the area around 1900. “We actually uncovered some of the remains of the barrels that were in the basement and the apparatus that was used to draw the beer from the barrels into the bar,” said Daechsel. There were other charred remains as well. “We even found the charred remains of some potatoes from the other end.” A lot of the finds were glass or ceramic and a lot were personal effects, which help archaeologists
piece together what the community and the people who lived there were like. “For me, it was really interesting to see the different types of artifacts we found from the different basements that we excavated. It helped characterize the tenants that resided in the house,” he said. Working on LeBreton Flats gave Daechsel a rare opportunity to work on several sites within the same concentrated area, allowing him to put many of the puzzle pieces together. The tour he will lead will focus on what was learned through those excavations, as well as the history of the area, the archaeological process and how items are recorded. See MONTH, page 3

Daechsel will be navigating around the fencing, something he’s done on his other tours as well, and will adapt the tour based on the current conditions of the site. “Some of them we won’t directly access because of the fencing for the work ongoing or about to happen in the future,” he said. The walking tour is one of several events taking place during the month of August as part of archaeology month. Some of the other events include: • A free exhibit at Ottawa city hall
on the pre-contact and historical archaeology of Ottawa. • Uncover new archaeological secrets, explore the history and natural heritage at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site on Aug. 10 to 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. • Hunt for geocaches on the grounds above the Diefenbunker, daily through August from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost of the walking tour is $10.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally
This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.
Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Up to 80,000 expected at annual GreekFest, Aug. 11 to 21 Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
GreekFest will leave attendees feeling far from Ottawa without having to leave home, Aug. 11 to 21. “You just feel like for those 11 days you are part of a culture that we all hold true to our heart,” said Eleni Dellis, general manager of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa. “And for those 11 days we kind of feel like we are taken back to Greece. We have the Greek food, we have the Greek music, we have the Greek entertainment and everyone is feeling very festive.” From when the gates open to the time they close, musicians will be there to entertain. For much of that time, the sounds of the festival will blend with some traditional dancing and other entertainment.
Anywhere between 60,000 and 80,000 people are expected to attend this year’s festival, said Dellis. It is located at 1315 Prince of Wales Dr., between Baseline Road and Meadowlands Drive. The festival takes place each year around Aug. 15; it’s a day commemorating the Virgin Mary, for whom the Greek Orthodox Church is named. That day hosts the official opening ceremonies, beginning at 12:30 p.m. and followed by an Olympic torch lighting ceremony. The festival first started as just a one or two day celebration, then in 1975 it took off, said Dellis. Now, it’s an 11-day rain or shine party. The festival operates on an “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” policy, Dellis said, adding festival favourites such as the food and entertainment are staples. The tented area showing

off lambs roasted on spits is something people are always attracted to, she said. Food at the festival includes souvlakis, gyros, greek poutine and roasted lamb and desserts ranging from baklava – a thin pastry stacked and topped with honey, sugar, cinnamon and nuts – to milopita – an apple cake. The festival is bringing in a new band from Montreal for this year. Alexandros will perform Aug. 14 to Aug. 17. There will be church tours in English and French, Greek language lessons, the popular Zorba dance show, olive oil tastings, Greek mythology seminars, dance groups and more. There will also be a bit of a change in the layout of the festival. Food will be grouped together under one tent, Dellis said. She added the change will be more efficient and better for festival goers.

Students from the Hellenic Community of Ottawa Dance School perform a traditional dance at Greek Fest on Prince of Wales Drive on Aug. 15. The festival celebrates all that is Greek, from roast lamb dishes to traditional Greek folk music. “On our very busy days we have line-ups that literally go right down Prince of Wales, so we are trying to make ourselves better and
more efficient.” The festival is free to attend, and is open during the week from 4:30 p.m. 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.

‘Clear pattern’ in police interactions with black men: legal clinic Continued from page 1
The coalition formed after the death of Abdirahman Abdi, a 37-year-old Somali man, who died following what witnesses say was a violent confrontation with police on the steps of his apartment building. The confrontation is now being investigated by the Special Investigations Unit. Police had been called multiple times to respond to a man engaging in “assaultive” behaviour at a Hintonburg coffee shop on July 24. At the press conference, there were statements from organizations, including the African Canadian Legal Clinic, Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa, Canadian Labour Congress and Canadian Association of Somali Lawyers. Margaret Parsons, executive director of the African Canadian Legal Clinic, listed the names of black men who died following police encounters, going
back to the 1970s. “While we look at these cases, we see a clear pattern – a black man in distress, police are called and the black man ends up dead,” Parsons said. She said in Abdi’s case and others, race is an issue. “Race makes the difference,” she said, adding she has little faith in the SIU’s investigation. Mayor Jim Watson also took some heat at the event. Several of those who spoke said the mayor attended Abdi’s funeral as a public relations stunt and photo opportunity. “If the mayor had any backbone instead of showing up for a nice packaged photo op at Mr. Abdi’s funeral he would have already arranged a meeting with the Somali community,” Parson said. Watson has told media he was invited to the funeral and is scheduling meetings with the Somali community. Yamikani Msosa, public

education/media co-ordinator and support worker, agreed with Parson’s statement. “It’s clear the mayor’s response is sending a message that black lives are not as valuable as others,” she said. David Onyalo, Ottawabased director of anti-racism and human rights with the Canadian Labour Congress, added it’s time people held the mayor accountable for the city’s police service. “My message to the mayor of Ottawa: make sure no other Abdi gets killed under your watch,” he said. The group emphasized they aren’t going to sit back and wait for change. They’re hoping the recommendations will be looked at while the SIU investigation continues, and they’ll continue to make sure that Abdi’s name stays in the news. “We are in for the long haul,” Parsons said. The other recommendations put to local, provin-

Man, 79, extricated after multi-vehicle crash Staff
A 79-year-old man trapped in a vehicle after a multi-car crash near Richmond Road and Woodroffe was extricated by Ottawa fire on Aug. 3, around 6:40 p.m. According to a press release, fire services received the 911 call at 6:18 p.m. reporting a vehicle rollover and a man trapped inside. A little more than 20 minutes
later, he was removed from the vehicle and placed in the care of paramedics, who treated him for non-life threatening injuries and transported him to hospital in stable condition. Public information officer with Ottawa Paramedic Services J.P. Trottier said when paramedics arrived one car was on its side. After the extrication, paramedics treated the man for what Trottier said were injuries typical of a crash, including
lacerations, head, neck and back injuries. A couple of other people were assessed for minor injuries on the scene, Trottier said. He added there was some confusion on scene as to whether there were two or three vehicles involved in the crash. Initially, several ambulances were requested for the crash, but when the first arrived, the others were called off.

Hazy pot rules becoming a joke
T
he organic growth of the pot dispensary business across Canada has almost been laughable — almost. We know how this happened, but it shouldn’t have. The majority of Canadians over recent years have clearly indicated through public opinion polls that they are fine with legal marijuana, and not just for medicinal purposes. The new federal Liberal government campaigned on making pot legal, and says it will do so next year. And in that opening rushed in the clowns. These dispensaries, some of which admittedly seem to be more medicinal focused than some others that come across as glorified head shops, are popping up like weeds across the country and in Ottawa. One of the newest, which seems to be one of those more attuned to the medical angle of the emerging above ground pot trade, is opening up in Stittsville and the local councillor is not amused. Coun. Shad Qadri says he’ll be watching the new medical marijuana dispensary opening in his com-
munity on Iber Road. He says it’s within walking distance of four schools, there was no public consultation about the facility prior to setting up shop, that it hasn’t gone through a zoning process and, by the way, it’s illegal. That’s a pretty damning list of objections, and on all counts Qadri is right. The store’s owner told Metroland Media at an open house that he acknowledges he’s operating in a legal grey area. He said the city and the federal government need to work on improving access to medical marijuana. But the fact is that at this time there is no legal grey area when it comes to opening a business selling pot, for whatever reason, to the public. That is still illegal, and the rush to open these is like a low-tech Uber attack on local government’s ability to maintain order. In this “legal grey area� is it silly to enforce minor pot possession cases in light of the pending legalization? Perhaps. But there is nothing hazy about the blossoming of a full-scale pot store industry in the meantime. It is out of control, and these rogue operations should be nipped in the bud.
Marijuana and the legal grey area
I
love my neighbourhood. I can be in nature in two minutes, launch my kayak on the Ottawa River, buy fresh bread at the bakery, I can get my licence renewed at the Ministry office, and now I can buy pot. It was only a matter of time. Within the last few weeks, a marijuana dispensary has opened in my residential Ottawa neighbourhood. I happened to run by it one morning, on my usual route through houses and past the local elementary school. Yes, the dispensary is a block from a school and a few doors down from a music studio that caters to children. But, last time I checked, it’s illegal to sell marijuana. On June 30, a joint statement from federal ministers of justice, public safety and health on the establishment of a task force to legalize and regulate marijuana noted the following: “The posses-

sion, production, and trafficking of marijuana remains illegal. This includes storefronts selling marijuana, commonly known as ‘dispensaries’ and ‘compassion clubs.� And yet, dispensaries are showing up everywhere. Why aren’t we shutting these things down? Personally, I don’t see the point in legalizing marijuana. I see the benefit of it for medicinal purposes in a controlled way. Otherwise, I prefer marijuana as a socially unacceptable drug. I don’t want my kids using it. I don’t want them to think it’s a socially acceptable habit. I prophesize that

governments will try to revoke legalization 20 years from now when they realize that marijuana is a public health burden comparable to alcohol or smoking. I also realize I’m in the minority on this one. The majority of Canadians support the legalization of marijuana. A poll of 1,000 people conducted by The Globe and Mail and Nanos in February found 68 per cent of Canadians support legalization. In Ontario, more than 70 per cent support legalization, while British Columbians are 75 per cent in favour of legalized pot. Most of those polled believe weed should be sold at marijuana dispensaries, similar to the ones emerging in neighbourhoods across the country, except regulated. Even me, in my conservative stance, could accept this. But why are we allowing illegal shops to operate in the absence of laws?

There seems to be little, if any, appetite among local officials to shut down these places, which are emerging rapidly in urban centres and residential neighbourhoods across the country In Vancouver, it’s rumoured there are more pot shops than coffee shops. The city has placed restrictions on locations near vulnerable populations, but not much else. In Toronto, a raid of 47 dispensaries in May and June led to the arrest of 90 people. Police laid more than 250 criminal charges, including possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and 71 proceeds of crime, yet some of the raided locations simply reopened the following morning. And despite the opening of up to eight dispensaries in Ottawa in recent weeks, the police have yet to take any significant action. Marijuana is illegal. City councillors, the mayor and local police should be doing everything in their authority to shut these dispensaries down permanently.

operate is not in the same realm of regulatory safety as eventual legalization. Don’t take my word for it. The federal government has said in the absence of legislation, “decriminalization would not provide any regulatory control over the quality and safety of ...marijuana, and would not help keep marijuana out of the hands of youth.� Let’s be smart. Shut the crooks down.

Construction to begin on Hein House residential hospice Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Construction is set to begin in earnest on Hein House before the end of summer. A ground-breaking celebration was held May 31 for the residential wing of the RuddyShenkman Hospice in Kanata. Now that all approvals are in place and the tender process is underway, the builder is expected on site towards mid-August, said Kristina Voth-Childs, communications co-ordinator. “It’s been a long time coming,” she said, adding staff, volunteers and others in the community are excited to see the residence move from dream to reality. “We’re finally seeing some progress,” she said. “Our need every year is growing. We need more services so this is a step in the right direction.” The 10-bed residence will provide free around-the-clock care for people in their last days and weeks of life, while the two respite rooms will offer a space for short-term care. To help finish the project, Hospice Care Ottawa has
launched a “Brick by Brick” fundraiser to outfit the rooms with windows, lights in the hallways, kitchen equipment so families can prepare meals while staying with their loved one, and comfortable furniture. “We’re trying to make it as cozy for the family as possible,” said Voth-Childs. “Residential hospice, it really is much more of a home-like environment compared to a hospital.” Hospice Care Ottawa, along with the Bruyère Foundation, fundraised more than $6 million through its Hospice Ottawa West Campaign over the past several years for the residential wing. The organization
receives no government funding for capital projects. “While $6 million has been raised towards the build of Hein House many donations were made in the form of pledges, which will come in over the next few years,” said Voth-Childs. “We do have a need for additional cash on hand to help cover the costs of construction.” It will take about a year to complete the 12,592-squarefoot addition, which will feature bathrooms in each room and access to the gardens. Hospice Care Ottawa has 19 beds – nine at the May Court
Hospice in Old Ottawa South and 10 at Central West Hospice located in the west end. The beds located at Central West are a stopgap until Hein House is built. “We hope this is one step in the right direction in getting more hospice beds and getting more exposure,” said VothChilds. Last year the organization served 357 people in residential hospice – up from 290 in 2014. All programs are provided at no charge.

The west Ottawa event – their third since founding Cuts for Kids – will invite children whose families struggle to pay for extras like hair cuts to climb into a barber or salon chair and ask for whatever style of haircut they want. For girls, Cuts for Kids will partner with a salon whose stylists will also be taking haircut requests. Musa, who founded Cuts for Kids, said although the non-profit organization hosted its first event at the Overbrook Community Centre on May 21, the idea that sparked its creation occurred to him last summer. “I had the idea about a year ago to start an organization to give back to the community,” he said. “And it was something that
“We’re supported
by the community and we run by the generosity of the community.” IBRAHIM MUSA
provided free first aid training for Cuts for Kids Volunteers and a first aid kit, Staples Copy and Print,
where Cuts for Kids does its promotional printing at a discounted price, and Couns. Tobi Nussbaum, Marianne Wilkinson and Mathieu Fleury, who have covered some of the administrative and travel costs of the organization’s three events. “We’re supported by the community and we run by the generosity of the community,” Musa said. “If it weren’t for all these folks helping us out, giving us sponsorships, giving us free training, we wouldn’t be here today.” See CUTS, page 13

Bekkir Bouzioukh from Hair Fellas Barbershop works on a hair cut during a Cuts for Kids event at the Overbrook Community Centre on May 21. I wanted to do as a former refugee to help make the world around me a little better.” Musa and his parents arrived in Canada as refugees from Iraq in 2002 when he was three years old. Similarly, Xi moved to Canada from China with his mother when he was six years
old, and Mohamed moved to Canada with his family after living in Cairo, Egypt for 14 years. Musa said he was inspired to create Cuts for Kids when an acquaintance who worked at a day camp for underprivileged children told him about a boy at the camp who was
intensely self-conscious about his hair because his parents couldn’t afford to have it cut. “And that kind of brought me back to my childhood,” he said. “Because as a newly arrived refugee we didn’t have money at all to do anything, especially haircuts.”

Cuts for Kids relies on volunteers Continued from page 11
But one community partner has been with Cuts for Kids from the very beginning and plans to stick around for the foreseeable future. Musa said he approached Hair Fellas Barbershop owner Carlos Noja for help with the project last summer. Since then, four barbers from Noja’s shop have been at every each event, cutting hair for four hours at a time. “When I thought of the idea I first brought it to them and they’ve supported me and encouraged me,” Musa said. “And they’ve done every event and are doing every event on my calendar so far.” Noja said the partnership has breathed life into a project he himself had already considered before. The timing and the concept were perfect. “When (Musa) came to me and proposed his idea I was like ‘that’s exactly what I was thinking and that’s when we did it together,” he said. “He kind of read my mind.”

Danny Brown from Hair Fellas Barbershop applies the finishing touches to a hair cut during a Cuts for Kids event at Morrison Gardens Community House on July 14. Although he and his busy staff use their personal time to join Cuts for Kids at each event – the second session took place at Morrison Gardens Community House in Nepean on July 14 – Noja said it’s well worth their time. “What we gain from it is the experience of working with kids,” he said. “And just really seeing them smile is all we care about. Because at the end of the day
when they grow up they’re probably going to end up in the shop. So at least they get a demonstration of who we are.” For more information about the Cuts for Kids Pinecrest Terrace event, visit facebook.com/ events/509758619214209.

Non-profits receive funds for repairs, renos City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Ottawa GreekFest The next big festival in River Ward is GreekFest. Hosted by the Hellenic Community of Ottawa, the festival runs from August 11-21 and is located at 1315 Prince of Wales Drive in the Carleton Heights neighbourhood. Please bicycle, walk, take OC Transpo (Route 111) or if driving, park at St Pius X High School on Fisher Avenue and take the free shuttle bus. This is Ottawa’s largest Greek festival and is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy excellent Greek food, music, dance and other cultural activities. Admission is free. Please note that the City of Ottawa has granted the Hellenic Church a parking permit variance on local streets for their church services only from 9:00am to 12:30pm on August 14, 15 and 21 before GreekFest opens to the public. This would allow patrons attending Sunday Church services on August 14 and 21 and a special service on August 15 the opportunity to briefly park in designated no parking areas for that specific timeframe. The City of Ottawa has been clear with GreekFest organizers that patrons are to remove their vehicles from the designated no parking areas at the conclusion of the services.
Nine agencies get share of $700K in provincial program Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Without money for a new furnace, St. Mary’s Home’s Community Outreach and Program Centre may not have been able to open this coming winter. So when Kathleen Cummings, executive director of the Vanier-based organization that offers residential programming for young pregnant women and other supports for young moms, dads and their children, found out the cost would be covered by a provincial program, she was relieved. “We literally could have been without heat this winter,” Cummings said of the boiler, which is on its last legs. “I don’t know how I was going to get that funding elsewhere.” St. Mary’s Home is receiving $156,000 from the provincial government’s Partner
Facility Renewal program. There’s also money to replace two old windows and repair the driveway, which makes for challenging access to the residence building and is a safety issue. “It’s definitely needed,” she said, adding without the money the organization would have had to pull resources from programming or put together a fundraiser. “It’s affording us the privilege of the things we need without putting a lot of time and resources into trying to get that funding elsewhere.” St. Mary’s Home is among nine local non-profit agencies which in total will receive $701,400 for repairs and renovations from the provincial government. Other agencies receiving funds include: • Youville Centre Ottawa-Carleton: $15,300 • Crossroads Children’s Centre: $48,900

They’ll be redoing bathrooms, replacing driveways, building a patio and repairing a second one, said Katherine Neff, its executive director. “We just don’t have any money in our budgets to do these kinds of things,” Neff said following the announcement. She said the bathrooms haven’t been updated since the 1980s. Redoing the driveway and fixing a patio will also help the treatment centres blend into the neighbourhood. “When we fundraise, we put that towards school programs and bursaries for kids. People love to support that kind of thing – new showerheads, not so much,” Neff said, adding the changes are huge boost for morale. Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announced the funding on Aug. 5.
Dear neighbours, I hope you are enjoying the best that summer in Ottawa has to offer from its beaches, splash pads and wading pools to its festivals, events and movie in the park nights. Carlingwood Library Stroller Parking Canopy Following renovations to the Carlingwood Library the decision was made to restrict the use of strollers inside the branch. This was not an easy decision for staff but it was made in an effort to help alleviate wet, muddyfloorsandalsotoensureapleasantlibraryexperience for everyone. Parents were naturally concerned about leaving their strollers outside unattended with no place to lock them up. We have managed to address both concerns and the Carlingwood Library now has a brand new Stroller Parking area. The canopy allows parents and caregivers to park their strollers securely and out of the rain and snow. The Library also provides locks which can be borrowed to ensure their “wheels” are ready and available when it is time to head home! Thank you to Library staff and visitors to the library for their patience and understanding throughout the renovations and construction.

Clients benefit from fixes Continued from page 14
It’s part of a larger $16-million program for upgrades and repairs at more than 140 community agencies across Ontario. “Ensuring that our facilities are always in good condition is so important and will able for those who work in those facilities to keep their focus where it is most needed and serve clients to the best of their abilities,” Lalonde said. After listing off what the money will be used for, including fixing sloping floors and patios, and resurfacing driveways, Naqvi said the funding is extremely important. “I know all this sounds very unsexy. We’re not building a new building, we’re not doing something incredible and new, but I think that every single one of you know … how important this is,” he said.

roundabout safety in August Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Local police have a new target for August. Ottawa and Gatineau police will be on the hunt for impaired drivers and and will be monitoring roundabout safety this month. According to statistics kept through the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP), due to impaired driving there were 1,680 collisions involving pedestrians, resulting in 17 deaths and 717 injuries between 2010 and 2014.
When it comes to roundabouts, during the same period, there were 403 crashes, resulting in 44 injuries. STEP uses geographical statistics from the RCMP, OPP and Ottawa Police, as well as provincial safety campaigns to determine a focus for monthly enforcement. Ottawa police Const. Marc Soucy said the selection is in line with the time of year, the public’s priorities and also traffic issues. “We try to target specific incidents that are specific to the time of the year and the
concerns of Ottawa,” Soucy said. In July, STEP focused on cycling safety and red light running. June’s focus was pedestrian safety and construction zones. School bus safety will be the focus in September. Soucy said there continues to be quite a lot of confusion over what drivers are supposed to be doing as they approach a roundabout and how to manoeuvre through it. See FOCUS, page 17

Focus doesn’t mean police ignore other offences Continued from page 16
He said police are encouraging drivers to watch out for signs that signal which lane to be in heading into the intersection. “Most of them have pretty large signs explaining which lane you should be in if you wish to continue straight or turn or so on,” he said. While impaired driving knows no season, Soucy said the focus on it in August stems from the long weekend. “Impaired driving is always a concern.” It’s a concern not just on the roads, but also on the waterways. And police were able to crackdown on impaired boating during a recent blitz. Ottawa-Gatineau’s Operation Dry Water resulted in 33 liquor licence offences, four roadside tests, two three-day
suspensions, three boats removed from the water and one environmental protection act offence. In total, there were 77 Canada Shipping Act offences. Most of STEP’s targets stem from what Rob Wilkinson, co-ordinator of Safer Roads Ottawa Program, calls the fatal four – impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding and seatbelts. The concern about roundabout safety is a newer addition. “Depending on the topic, we’ve had very good success. In others, much like distracted driving, we continue to see that any given day when staff go out and do enforcement there are really far too many people doing it,” Wilkinson said. In the 2015 police annual report, criminal code traffic offences were up 1.7 per cent over 2104. That’s attributed to an increase in impaired
operation offences (two per cent) and Dangerous Operation of motor Vehicle (nine per cent), provincial traffic offences were down none per cent. Fatal collisions were down 29 per cent, with 17 in 2015 and fatalities were down 24 per cent to 19. Those statistics are in line with a general downward trend in traffic fatalities, Wilkinson said. A decrease, he attributes, in part to education programs, as well as enforcement and changes in vehicle technology. Wilkinson said police know traffic concerns remain top of mind for residents, as seen in a recent public survey. “There’s a tremendous appetite for the Ottawa Police Service to move forward and do enforcement, and the model there is to be strategic with that enforcement as well,” he said.

Missing pie becomes a real mystery for Mother
F
ather, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door. She was at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies. “There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said. It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes! Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed flourbag tea towels. The wonderful sweet

The day passed and there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all.

Memories
the freight train that passed through our farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night. Father said the smell of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all. He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the night before. Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors! No one in Northcote locked their doors. Ours didn’t even have a key! For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm. He said he knew they often slept in the barn.
Trips, socials, classes and much more Across from beautiful Andrew Haydon Park.
And they were hungry... always hungry. Riding the rails was their life, and getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive. After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it. It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs. Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Fans send off Nepean Olympians at Barrhaven gathering The first-time Olympian appeared on a projector screen via live video chat as the crowd chanted her name, and she thanked everyone for turning out to show their support. “I just popped in to say ‘hi’ and thank everybody for coming,” she said. “It’s an honour to have a
Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
With two days to go before the Olympic opening ceremony in Rio, a crowd of supporters gathered in Barrhaven to bid farewell and good luck to Nepean Olympians Sekou Kaba and Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson on Aug 3. About 150 fans, friends, relatives, former classmates and teachers joined Kaba at the Barrhaven branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Fallowfield Road that night following his final practice session at home before flying to Rio. Most sported red and white, inspired by the Canadian flag. Some wore t-shirts printed with ‘go Erika,’ and some lined up for autographs and photos with Kaba. Seltenreich-Hodgson, who was already in Brazil by then, later joined the party via live video chat. Kaba and Seltenreich-Hodgson, both graduates of Nepean high schools, earned spots on Canada’s Olympic team for the first time this year – Kaba for the men’s 110-metre hurdles race and Seltenreich-Hodgson for the women’s 200-metre individual medley swimming event.
“It’s an honour to have
a crowd come out to celebrate this event. I think that’s awesome. I wish I could be there in person.” ERIKA SELTENREICH-HODGSON

After a barbecue dinner, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod praised Seltenreich-Hodgson for her dedication and character before the swimmer addressed the
room from 8,275 kilometres away. “Erika, I am so proud of you,” MacLeod said. “You’re brave, you’re talented, you’re dedicated to excellence
and if there’s somebody from this community that I think will win the 200-metre women’s individual medley, it’s Erika SeltenreichHodgson.”
crowd come out to celebrate this event. I think that’s awesome. I wish I could be there in person.” Seltenreich-Hodgson and Kaba talked with each other through laptop screens about the excitement both at home and in Brazil, and then MacLeod told the audience the story of the day she learned all about Kaba’s character.

MEGAN DELAIRE/METROLAND
About 150 fans, relatives and former class mates and teachers gathered at the Barrhaven branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Aug. 3 to wish good luck to Sekou Kaba and Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson, two Nepean athletes competing in their first Olympic games this summer. “But you need to go with the mindset that eventually it will be okay and you’re not the only one who is either currently going through that problem or has experienced that problem.

Kaba, she said, had agreed to join her on a tour of Canada Day events across Ottawa on July 1, but when the day came, he did more than just take in the sights and sounds of Canada Day in Ottawa. “Sekou not only decided to come and show his celebrity and wear his Canadian uniform and meet people and shake their hands,” she said. “Sekou brought his hurdles to every event, and he did a demonstration for the kids, young and old.” As the crowd chanted his name, Kaba took to the stage to give his own address. He traced his route to Rio from his native Guinea to the United States, where he moved with his family in 2001 and was bullied for not speaking English, and finally to Nepean, where he relocated in 2007 and began his career as a serious athlete. “Things get tough in life,” he said.

Hi- I’m Pixie, and I’m an Abyssinian guinea pig. I’m always excited to see my family, and very hyper! I love to run, play and jump. But my favourite thing to do is go outside on a nice summer day, and eat the grass in my backyard.

Microchipping: h Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean your lost pet is returned safely to you. August 15 is National Check the Chip Day — a perfect time to get a microchip for your furry companion if they don’t already have one, or to ensure their existing chip is up to date. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized 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. Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner
information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. If your pet already has a microchip, be sure to update your information when you move or change your phone number. The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and our next one is coming up on August 14. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for peace of mind. Dates for future OHS microchip clinics can be found at: www.ottawahumane.ca/microchip. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca. Pet of the Week: Rupert (ID# A188064) Meet Rupert (ID# A188064), a friendly chinchilla looking for a new home with his two brothers. Rupert and his brothers Romeo (ID# A188065) and Rodrigez (ID# A188066) have lived together their whole lives. They can often be found curled up together in their cage taking a nap. Chinchillas like Rupert and his brothers make great pets. They require a roomy cage and lots of healthy treats. They love to spend a few hours a day outside of their cage getting exercise and spending time with their human friends. If you think Rupert and his brothers would make a great addition to your family, stop by the Adoption Centre and meet them today! For more information on Rupert, Romeo, Rodrigez 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.
Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you know how to lay on the charm to get a job done, and you might need to work your magic this week. Some might scoff, but the end results will be positive. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your work ethic is recognized by superiors this week. Accept this well-earned praise, but keep working hard to maintain your reputation. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have one foot on the ground, your head seems to be up in the clouds. Make an effort to regain your focus so you can finish the tasks at hand. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Problem-solving does not interest you this week, Cancer. You just want things spelled out to you in black and white. If things become too complicated, ask for clarification. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the pressure to make decisions is easing up, and you can finally relax and focus on entertaining things. Take some time to strengthen an important relationship as well. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, ideas in your head are developing so quickly that you can’t pin one down. Your creativity is a feather in your cap, so make an effort to sort out your ideas.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Decisions that seemed so easy to make just a few days ago now seem like uphill battles. Don’t sell yourself short, as you can handle the challenges ahead. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You have an ability to attract power and love, Scorpio. Make the most of this power and try to help others as much as possible. You will be glad for having done so. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, recent contributions on the job are finally getting you some special attention. Your efforts paint you as a team player, and others are taking notice. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a big decision has you mulling all of the potential outcomes. Take a few breaths and some extra time to reevaluate your priorities in the next few days. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, beauty is everywhere if you just look for it. Pay attention to the little details that can show you the potential of others. You may be surprised at what you find. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you are much more comfortable when surrounded by a close network of friends. Organize a get-together with your social circle. 0811
