Neighbourhood study deemed among best data resources in world Laura Mueller

News - The Ottawa Neighbourhood Study is hoping a slick new website will encourage groups to use the plethora of local data it provides. The URL will be kept secret until the new website launches on Sept. 12, but it will offer a whole new way to compare and view the data using interactive tools, said Ottawa Neighbourhood Study project manager David Hole. The study is the world’s most comprehensive data set broken down to the community level, Hole said. But previously, that data was presented on a “clunky,” user-unfriendly website with static maps, said Elizabeth Kristjansson, a professor from the University of Ottawa. See STUDY, page 9

and its beer “sister city,” Toronto. The markets allow residents to sample multiple types of locally-produced craft beer while interacting with the people who created it. This month’s market will feature suds from Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company, Big Rig Brewery, and the city’s latest newcomer, Turtle
Island Brewing Company. The sister city beer will be represented by Nickel Brook Brewery. Arising from the National Capital Region’s burgeoning craft brewing scene, the Brewery Market was created as a way of showcasing the wares of local beer producers, not unlike a farmer’s mar-
ket (only with more alcohol), while allowing beer drinkers to interact with the brewers themselves. “It’s a fantastic industry,” said Trish Watson, founding partner of Turtle Island. Watson’s husband, JP Fournier, is founder and president of Turtle Island and founder of National Capital Craft Beer Week.
Fournier’s love of craft brewing initially fostered a home brewing side-project, which in turn led to the formation of the Ottawa Beer TAP Society in 2010. There, members of the club took part in beer tastings and food pairings. See CRAFT, page 11

News - The consultation period for a four-storey apartment proposal in Westboro has passed with no word heard back from the applicant, according to a city planner. FoTenn Consultants – working on behalf of property owner Doyle Homes – submitted a minor zoning bylaw amendment and site plan control to the city on April 18, seeking approval for an 11-unit building at 305 Picton Ave. City staff has since reviewed the paperwork and raised some concerns about the site plan, but have yet to hear from the applicant. “We submitted our comments back to them at the end of May,” said Nina Maher, the planner attached to the file. “One of our main comments back was to try and soften the development (in terms of dimensions).” The proposed rezoning concerns a roughly one-storey height increase over existing zoning, bringing the proposed structure to 14 metres in height. Density allowed at the site would be increased from four units to 11. The applicant’s planning rationale listed nearby stores, proximity to two Transitway stations within a 600
Ottawa Valley Tours
metre radius and the city’s intensification policy as factors supporting the rezoning. Picton Avenue is a dead end street northwest of the Richmond Road-Churchill Avenue intersection. Neighbouring residential properties are low-rise, with the site currently occupied by a two-storey detached home. The end of the cul-de-sac contains business parking lots and loading bays. The proposal listed seven surface parking spaces located at the rear of the property, one more than the minimum allowed in Ottawa. Maher said the comments offered by staff applied to the site plan submitted to the city, not the zoning bylaw. “In terms of overall rezoning, there were no issues with that in terms of the proposal to increase the height (by one storey),” said Maher. “We asked them to look at urban design details and landscaping … Issues such as compatibility would (also) be looked at.” Maher added that no firm planning position has been given to the file as of yet, nor is there a known planning committee date for the proposal. Summer is a slow time at city hall, so come September things could start moving on the file, she said.

Capital Pride gears up for 2013 festival Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The organizers of the 2013 Capital Pride Festival are looking forward to taking their signature parade back to its roots this year. Held Aug. 16 to 25, the festival will see over 30 LGBT groups from the Ottawa area stage more than 75 events throughout the city. In a break from recent years – due to the construction of Ottawa’s downtown LRT tunnel – the Aug. 25 Pride Parade will be moved from Wellington Street to Bank Street, home of the city’s newly designated LGBT Village. The return to Bank Street is something organizers are excited about, given the street hasn’t hosted the parade in nearly a decade. “Its roots are on Bank Street,” said Brody Fraser, Capital Pride’s vice-chair of communications. “It’s a great place and has a much more intimate feel to it.” As part of the LGBT Village’s official designation, the City of Ottawa installed branding that signifies the cultural heritage of the area – generally agreed as being located between James and Nepean streets and spanning a block on both sides of Bank. Local shop owners in the village and the committee members who nurture it boosted the theme by installing their own flags and lights. Presenting sponsor of this year’s Capital Pride Festival is Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, while TD Bank returns as a
major festival sponsor. “More businesses on Bank Street are taking part in the festival this year,” said Fraser. “Henry’s (Camera) is working with our marketing team to set up a photo booth at the festival.” The festival as a whole has evolved since it was first held in 1986 – both in terms of size and community acceptance. In the ensuing years, more emphasis has been placed on recognizing the many supporters and advocates who have worked to further the cause of LGBT rights and acceptance. Reflecting this, 2013 will see an expansion of the parade marshals program, with Jay Koornstra of Bruce House serving as grand parade marshal, Amanda Ryan of Gender Mosaic as lifetime achievement marshal, Mike Tattersall of National Capital Leather Pride as community builder marshal, LGBT youth activist Erika Butler as youth marshal, and Jamaican LGBT activist Maurice Thomlinson as international marshal. The role and importance of youth has emerged as a growing focus not just for Capital Pride, but LGBT organizations country-wide. Their youth program has expanded in recent years into a nearly standalone entity called ‘Etc.’ Etc. is run for youth, by youth, and led by Capital Pride’s youngest-ever board member, 18-year-old Hannah Watt, who first joined Capital Pride as a volunteer a few years ago. Watt said the first LGBT activists were largely composed
of young adults who experienced harsh victimization and were often expelled from their homes due to their sexual orientation. Time marched on, and headway was made over the ensuing years in terms of rights and protection. However, even as victories are declared in certain battles, with each new generation comes new challenges and reasons for advocacy. When youth meet at Etc.’s monthly meetings and events, they are encouraged to take a look at their environment and identify what they like seeing and what they’d like to improve. “We’re seeing people looking at past accomplishments, discussing current issues and deciding what they’d like to fight for,” said Watt. Watt said she is grateful for the hard-working, inspirational volunteers that make up Etc’s committee, as they have had their hands full planning not just regular events, but the expanded lineup of Capital Pride Festival youth events. “They work wonderfully together,” said Watt, describing the range of festival youth events. For the first time, this year’s “Pride Guide” will have a section devoted to youth, making it easier for them to find the times and places of the transitfriendly events. These include an open mic night at Umi Café on Aug. 10, an opening party on Aug. 15, an outdoor day in Hintonburg Park on Aug. 21, and the annual Pride Prom at Pink Triangle Services on Aug. 23. Etc. will have their own float
in the Pride Parade, the organization (and design) of which is another responsibility for the youth. A full list of events, times, sponsors and supporters of Capital Pride Festival are available at www.capitalpride.ca.

News - Flapjacks will be flipping at the Elgin Street police station to help raise pride awareness on Aug. 19. Ottawa police will holster their weapons and don aprons and spatulas in an effort to raise money for Gender Mosaic, a social and support group for trans- and crossgender community members.
The event begins at 6 a.m. at the main entrance of 474 Elgin St., and will include the unfurling of the Pride flag at 9:10 a.m. The flag will be on display until Aug. 26.

flags at the headquarters of OC Transpo, bylaw, fire and paramedics. The tour will end at city hall for the city’s official Pride flag-raising ceremony at 4 p.m. The bus has been sponsored by Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark.

Free Presto card offer ends Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - If you’re still looking for a free Presto card, you’re out of luck. As of yesterday, Aug. 14, the city expected to have distributed all 145,000 smart cards, which can be loaded with a bus pass or cash value to pay for trips on buses and the O-Train. Ecopass users, students and selected community groups will still get free Presto cards as planned. City of Ottawa employees who used Ecopass will get Presto cards in September
and federal government employees will switch over in October. Students who receive OC Transpo passes through their school boards will get the Presto card when they return to school in September, and OC Transpo will set up on campus at Algonquin College and La Cité Collégiale to hand out free cards once classes begin. From now on, it will cost $6 to obtain each card (including replacements). The user can then go online to prestocard.ca or to an OC Transpo sales and information centres to purchase and load a
pass or cash balance, called “epurse.” Presto cards are available in person at: • Rideau Station • Lincoln Fields Station • St. Laurent Station • Place D’Orléans Station • City hall (110 Laurier Ave. W.) • Ben Franklin Place (101 Centrepointe Dr., Nepean) • Kanata client service centre (main level, 580 Terry Fox Dr.) The city has lowered fares on the Presto card to encourage riders to adopt the new form of
payment. One adult fare using a Presto cash balance costs $2.72, while tickets cost $3 per ride and a cash fare will set you back $3.40 per ride. The minimum first purchase when a rider obtains a card in person or online is $10. If using a cash balance on your Presto card, the city recommends setting up the auto-reload feature to automatically top up the card’s balance when it reaches a minimum amount. That avoids delays in reloading the cards, because cash added to your card online may not be accessible to use for 24 to 48
File
The city’s offer of a free Presto card has ended. The cards now sell for $6 each. hours after reloading the card. September monthly passes will be available starting Aug. 18.
Presto cards are not accepted on Para Transpo vehicles because the technology isn’t compatible.
Road safety advocates honoured Ontario Transportation Minister, Mayor Watson hand out awards Ottawa West News staff
File
Centretown resident Christopher Marin gets outfitted with a new light and bell during a Lights on Bikes blitz last fall. The joint venture was one of the local initiatives honoured with a Road Safety Achievement Award last week.
Community - Thirteen individuals and organizations in Ottawa have been recognized with Road Safety Achievement Awards for outstanding contributions to road safety initiatives in the community. The awards were handed out by Glen Murray, Ontario minister of transportation and minister of Infrastructure, and Mayor Jim Watson. “These awards recognize outstanding individuals and organizations that are helping to make our roads safer for everyone,” he said. “By recognizing these achievements, we are also helping to raise awareness of road safety while reminding people to travel safely and responsibly.” “Many recipients are
committed volunteers who are making our roads safer for all users, including our cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and motorists,” Watson said. Ottawa’s 2012 Road Safety Achievement Awards nominees are: • A1 Secure Initiative (Ottawa Public Health’s car seat program) • Barbara Mews (recipient of the road safety professional award) • Cycling Safety Awareness Program • Hand in Hand Committee (Focus on the PACE Car Program) • Hot 89.9 FM (Leave the Phone Alone Campaign) • Lights on Bikes initiative (Citizens for Safe Cycling, RightBike, Pathway Patrol Program) • Operation Toe Tag (Club
Optimiste Vanier) • Ottawa Safety Council – motorcycle instructors • Ottawa Safety Council – school zone traffic safety program • Pathway Patrol Program • Pattison Signs • Sgt. John Kiss – Ottawa Police Service • Workplace Cycling Safety Program These awards recognize excellence in the following categories: road safety achievement – professional; road safety achievement – volunteer; media excellence in road safety; corporate leadership in road safety; road safety partnerships and road safety initiative of the year. The city’s own safer roads action plan is also helping work towards the goal of keeping people safe on the streets,
said Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, chairman of the transportation committee. “As we continue to strive towards having the safest traffic environment in all of Ontario, it is important to recognize the efforts of the members of our community and also the successes of our Safer Roads Ottawa Program,” he said. “It is the commitment and combined efforts of many people and organizations that are helping us to achieve our goal of improved safety.” The Safer Roads Ottawa Program (ottawa.ca/sro) is a plan to prevent deaths or injuries on the roads through culture change, community engagement and safety. It’s a partnership between police, firefighters, paramedics, public works and Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department.

Community - Move over, Glebe. There’s a new garage sale in town. Its organizer hopes the “super” garage sale for Centretown will be wackier and more diverse than its well-established counterpart south of the Queensway. The Super Centretown Garage Sale is set to take place Saturday, Sept. 7 in an area bounded by the Rideau Canal, Bronson Avenue, Laurier Avenue and Highway 417. Anyone can participate by setting up their wares on their private property. Having lived in Centretown for more than 30 years, organizer Wynn Quon said he’s seen a few garage sales here and there, but never a large community-wide event similar to the Great Glebe Garage Sale or neighbourhood yard sales held in other parts of the city. “I can imagine the piles of stuff that are in people’s basements,” said Quon, who serves as a director on the board of the Centretown Community Health Centre. In a similar vein as the Glebe sale, Quon is asking vendors to consider donating 10 per cent of their profits to support the health centre. Quon anticipates there may only be a dozen vendors participating in the first year of the sale, but he’s committed to

The Great Glebe Garage Sale provided the inspiration for a new community-wide garage sale in Centretown, taking place Sept. 7. helping it grow and evolve. “My role is to get the ball rolling,” he said. “People don’t even need to talk to me, they can just put things out on the lawn … it’s very grassroots.” The sale is happening at a good time for returning university students looking to pick up reasonably priced furnishings, but it’s also a chance for neighbours to meet each other and get caught up in an air of festivity, Quon said. Quon is looking for help putting up posters around Centretown. People can go to the web-

Quon is encouraging people to use the hashtag #supercentretown to share cool and quirky finds on Twitter and Instagram and to help promote the event. He plans to run some contests just for fun on the website, with categories like “weirdest object” bought or sold. The working prize is a box of SuzyQ Doughnuts.

Be loud, be proud
C
apital Pride returns to Ottawa starting this weekend. The theme for this year’s festival is Be Loud, Be proud. This is a message that all Canadians can take to heart, to celebrate our nation’s acceptance of all citizens regardless of their race, language, religion or sexual identity. These are basic human rights entrenched in Canada’s Charter, despite lingering opposition from fringe groups. Canada’s good example is even more noticeable when compared with our international counterparts. Russia, for instance, has drawn criticism from across the globe for a law that bans gay pride rallies and forbids even discussing homosexuality with youth. The Russian sport minister pledged to hold athletes attending the 2014 Sochi Olympics accountable if they went out on the streets and attempted to “propagandize.� The move was criticized by John Baird, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, who said the Russian minister’s statement were “an incitement to intolerance which breeds hate.� But Baird’s comments immediately drew fire
from Real Women of Canada. The conservative women’s group said Baird’s comments stepped on the toes of another country’s sovereignty, family and religious values. Defending a country’s action based on its cultural/socio-religious identity is a tired argument that too often has been trotted out for public display in the aftermath of human rights abuses. The rights and freedoms of the individual are a basic human law that predates and supersedes the sovereignty and constitutions of nations. Real Women’s comments were immediately slammed by Canadians across the country, highlighting the cultural shift from intolerance to acceptance that has taken place over recent decades. This national movement toward tolerance is by no means strictly a Canadian phenomenon. Recognition of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered rights are gaining acceptance across North America and Europe, albeit at different rates and to different degrees. In the United States, even the Grand Old Party has grudgingly accepted the inevitability of gay marriage. As Sam Cooke once so eloquently wrote, change is gonna come.

From food to thought in the Eastern Townships
W
e recently ventured to the Eastern Townships of Quebec to visit my husband’s family. Our weekend trip cemented two ideas in my mind: It’s really frightening using the province’s infrastructure; but maybe the money spent on cultural protectionism over the past five decades has been worthwhile. I mean, there’s just something about Quebec, isn’t there? You really do feel like you’re in another country. It’s not just the sinkholes and crumbling bridges. There is a provincial warmth melded with a European class among the people there that I’ve yet to find in other places in Canada. It’s politically incorrect to say this in some circles, but there is truly a distinct culture in Quebec. The Quebecois don’t just talk differently from the rest of Canada; they also eat differently, greet differently and share their opinions in a unique way. And much of it comes down to the preservation of the family meal. It’s the way they linger over the preparation of food that stands out in my mind. It’s

the way wine is central to the occasion. Unlike the rest of us who are stocking up at the LCBO before a long weekend, most Quebec families I know keep a box of wine in the fridge for informal occasions. But when there is a more formal gathering, one can count on the celebratory pop of the cork of a slightly upscale vintage. Everyone partakes, and even some of the older kids get to have a sip or a small glass. And people are very relaxed about drinking, generally. The wine is as important to them as the food. It isn’t guzzled, but drunk slowly between small bites. I realize I’m romanticizing a bit here, but

there is, in fact, some hard evidence to back what I’m saying. Believe it or not, the Quebecois actually shop for food differently from the rest of us. According to a study commissioned by a national grocers association last year, the Quebecois are much more likely to visit the store daily to purchase precisely what they need to cook a particular meal, for example. They also demand a much broader selection of meat – not just striploin steaks and boneless chicken breast, but also bison, various cuts of lamb and venison. And they buy smaller portions. Not just of meat, but of other things too. This appreciation of food is benefiting their waistlines. Because although – according to a Nielsen survey conducted last year – the Quebecois have a sweeter tooth than the rest of us, they also have some of the lowest rates of obesity. Finally, a study published by the Vanier Institute for the Family a few years ago found that people in Quebec are more likely to sit down multiple times per week for a family dinner than those living elsewhere in Canada. It’s around the table, noted the authors, that parents are best able to connect with chil-
dren, and that people can debate issues of the day or share their ideas and emotions. From food to thought, there is a true richness in Quebec I haven’t experienced since I lived in Europe for a few years. If that weren’t enough to make me want to spend more time over the border in La Belle Province, the fact that I can purchase wine and beer at the camp store in their provincial park clinches the notion that I should “travel abroad� more often. Charles Gordon’s column will return.

Montgomery Legion ready to reopen its doors Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The Montgomery Legion is getting ready to open its doors months after being shuttered due to ice and snow damage. The trouble began in January when heavy ice and snow caused the roof to leak, creating thousands of dollars in damage to the downtown building. The legion was forced to close its top two floors - the hall and the members lounge - for more than eight months while repairs were made to the roof and renovations were conducted. Legion president Lionel Rowe said the closure of the two rooms has left the organization, and those in need of a cheap downtown hall out in the cold. “It’s been one hell of a time getting it all put back together,” Rowe said. “But the main thing is we are close to being done and we want to get this back up and running for the community.” The organization aims to open the top two floors by Sept. 5. “We have lost a lot of money
and had to help find other accommodations for people who had already rented the space,” he said. “It’s been a regular upset, but our membership and other regulars have been very supportive.” According to Rowe, the room rental costs are some of the cheapest available in downtown Ottawa. Charitable organizations are given the space for free. “We have turned down a lot of people over the year and now we want to let people know we will be back come September,” Rowe said. The building is part an 1850-era house that included a 1950 addition. Rowe said once the construction work began, workers found a number of other concerns associated with an old building, including asbestos in the walls and ceiling. Adding to the frustration was the flooding damaged to the recently renovated washrooms and hallway flooring on the top floor. “It’s really unfortunate that’s all gone,” Rowe said. Rowe did say some positives have come out of all the mess, including the legion deciding

The top and second floors of the legion has been closed since January. ered by insurance, with the upgrades to the kitchen and hall covered by the legion. Once the top two floors are open again, Rowe said the organization, which has kept the basement room open to the public, will need to see just how much damage, asbestos
and other hidden concerns lie below. “That we will need to raise money for, but that won’t be right away,” Rowe said. For up-to-date information about the legion, please visit the legion’s website montgomerylegion.ca.

its own when the city began setting up its new Neighbourhood Connections office. That office is getting ready to relaunch a more robust website soon and because the city decided to include an online forum to help community groups connect, the neighbourhood study decided to drop that feature from its new website. “We’re very happy to defer to them because they have more of a capacity to connect groups,” Hole said. Interested groups can connect with the team by emailing neighbourhoodstudyottawa@ gmail.com.
Kristjansson serves as the study’s lead investigator. The current website can be found at neighbourhoodstudy.ca, but the team was coy about whether the new site will be found at that URL. “Before, we basically had to do a lot of tailored analysis for people,” she said. The new website should make it easier for more people to conduct their own analysis and obtain the data in ways that are most useful to them, Kristjansson said.
The information is broken down into 107 different neighbourhoods within the city’s boundaries. Those communities are analyzed using 128 indicators, each having four or five data sets. That’s a wealth of information local community groups will have at their fingertips, Hole said. “We’re certainly looking for ways we can make the results of the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study count for as many people as we can,” he said. Organizations and agencies, including Ottawa Public Health R0012216466_0725
and the public school board, use the data, but the team hopes the website creates more opportunities for residents’ groups and community associations to take advantage of it as well. Hole and members of the study team are available to advise and assist groups that would like to use it. The study takes data available from many sources, including the census and a number of surveys, breaks it down to a local level and groups it based on each neighbourhood’s roughly defined boundaries, rather than the postal codes
They will also update the hall’s sound system and televisions - another thing Rowe said they decided to do because it made sense. “Everything is all open so it’s easy to do now,” he said. The damage caused by the ice and flooding will be cov-
or other population-based factors that are often used to geographically define data. The team also conducts its own studies to boost the number of data sets available. Everything from factors assessing walkability of neighbourhoods to graffiti to the level of access to recreational areas and facilities is included in the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study. The study has also identified “heat islands”: areas that experience higher temperatures
because they are built up and building materials retain heat. The stats tell stories, but they also encourage people to ask “why?” Hole said. “Mostly I’m proud the study encourages people to ask questions,” he said. “We present the data as knowledge and then challenge people with what they can do with that knowledge.” Last year, the city adopted the study’s list and definition of neighbourhoods to replace

Back on the rails The O-Train is on track to reopen between Greenboro and Bayview stations (seen above) on Sept. 3. The north-south rail link was shut down in late April – coinciding with the end of the school year – in order for extensive upgrades to be completed. These include two sets of passing tracks and upgrades to the O-Train stations. Six new Alstom train sets were purchased earlier this year to replace the original fleet of three Bombardier diesel trains. The Alstoms will enter service in 2014 following a period of testing on the upgraded tracks.
Youth employment programs get provincial cash infusion Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Ottawa-West Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli announced the first of a series of provincial programs aimed at increasing employment opportunities for young people at the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre during an announcement at Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre on Aug. 2. The Ontario Youth Employment Fund, which aims to connect young people with employers who will provide job placements of four to six months, will have a budget of $195 million over two years. Chiarelli said each of Ottawa’s 11 employment centres will get a slice of the funding pie.
Scott Miller, corporate services director for the Pinecrest-Queensway centre, said funding announcements are always good news for the not-for-profit, but funding for youth is special. “The fact that today’s announcement from the Ontario government will help increase our ability to help the youth of our communities makes it even more special,” Miller said. Eligible youth would have access to $7,800 in funding. The first $1,000 is to be used by the young person for things like work supplies and transportation, while the balance would be used by the employer to subsidize their wages. Chiarelli said the employment fund would roll out this fall. It will be followed with announcements for funding
of other programs to focus on mentorship, innovation and skills connection for young people, he added. According to the province, the unemployment rate for youth in Ontario is double that of workers aged 25 to 64 and last year more than 35 per cent of Employment Ontario clients were youth. Mohamed Sofa, a community developer for the centre, said everyday he’s seeing young people who are anxious to get experience, unable to find jobs. “I think this will help to kickstart youth employment,” he said. “Because now some of the biggest barriers lack of on-the-job training and access to mentorship. This isn’t just about jobs, but the future of young people.”

Nepean councillor hedges his bets on casino vote Egli opposes downtown casino for negative social effects Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - The city isn’t putting the cart before the horse, says Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli. Egli took questions from residents on a council motion looking for a second casino location in the capital during a meeting at the Nepean Sportsplex on Aug. 8. “It’s a complicated issue,” Egli said, adding if the finance and economic development committee votes in favour of a second location – in addition to maintaining the slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway – it really only gives the mayor the permission to ask the province to give the green light on a second location. The motion, brought by Couns. Tim Tierney and Mark Taylor, seeks to offer protection to the RCR, but keep the bidding process on a potential new gaming facility open and transparent. Egli said the in-
tent was to allow the RCR to partner with a qualified casino company to make a bid and save its slot machines. “There’s really something in there for everyone,” Egli said. “It’s got points for people who want to protect the raceway, it deals with the transparency issue and potential traffic impacts.” Egli added that with a new Ontario premier and the dismissal of the Ontario Lottery Gaming Corp board, the conversation has changed. “Before we had to raise our hands and be in favour of a casino or lose the slots at the raceway,” Egli said. “The province has since softened their position on that.” Glens Community Association president Agnes Warda asked why the city would make a decision on a second location without knowing whether the province will accept a second casino zone. “Wouldn’t it better to wait and see what the response

He also said the motion allows for the province’s refusal of the second site. “If we only get one location then it would be at the

Rideau Carleton Raceway,” he said. “There is the potential for things to remain status quo.” The finance and economic development committee meeting takes place on Aug. 26 and council could vote on the committee members’ recommendation two days later. One of the reasons Egli hosted the
information session was to encourage people to speak as delegations to the committee or to make written submissions. For his part, Egli said he won’t vote in favour of a casino until he has a chance to read the Ottawa Public Health report on potential social impacts. “When I first started working as a lawyer I did a lot of matrimonial work,” Egli said, adding he often saw the aftermath of a gambling addiction. John MacMillan, founder of Casino Choice Ottawa and a horse trainer, turned up at the meeting to speak to residents about the benefits of a rural casino location over an urban one. “In 1998 the OLG became more involved in gaming in densely populated areas with limited success,” MacMillan said. “Then they went to the slots-at-racetrack model. Now they seem to be coming full circle.” MacMillan added that the crime associated with big casinos in places like Atlantic City and Windsor don’t happen in rural locations. “People aren’t turning up along (Highway) 401 to hang
out at the Thousand Islands casino,” he said. Egli said he is against a downtown casino for a number of reasons, and also doesn’t think there is an appetite around the council table for a central location. “Oddly enough one of the biggest concerns is whether or not people would have to pay for parking,” Egli said. “Residents are willing to put their money into slots but not into parking meters and I don’t see a location downtown where we could have free parking.” A representative from the Centretown Community Association turned up at the meeting to speak out against a downtown location. She said the central location would make gaming easier for people who may be predisposed to gambling addiction. Egli said determining locations won’t happen until after the province decides on a second casino zone. At that point, he said he would take the area councillor’s input into consideration when he decided on his vote. “I am against a casino in (Knoxdale-Merivale Ward) and downtown,” he said.

When Fournier recently decided to enter the craft beer fray, the skilled feedback from TAP Society members was invaluable in deciding what direction to go for a unique taste. “He picked the two mostliked by people at the pairing,” said Watson. Those brews are now known as SMASH Cherry Ale and Dark Honey Brown, both of which will begin bottling this week, to be distributed to yet-to-be-determined locations. Already, the two brews are on tap at four Ottawa establishments. Like all craft brewers, the plan is to expand the lineup once a bricks-and-mortar brewery is found – currently Turtle Island production is contracted through Broadhead Brewery. The company’s mailing address is in Kanata. The brewery’s name and motif references the aboriginal legend of interconnected cultures. Fournier and Watson said their beer ingredients will re-

Despite steady rain, craft beer lovers flocked to Parkdale Park last month for The Brewery Market. The next installment of the event is slated for Aug. 25. flect this, with locally-sourced materials mixed with internationally-sourced ones. While the craft beer industry is still brewing in Canada, Watson said she doesn’t think it’s about to go bust. Popularity of the new brews shows there was a public thirst that wasn’t being quenched by corporate mega-breweries and their uninspired offerings. “I don’t think we got in (the
industry) too late – there’s still more to come,” said Watson. Entry into the Brewery Market is free, with beer profits (like last time) going to help the conservation and advocacy efforts of Ottawa Riverkeeper.

On the road with Watson as mayor traverses city Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
Community – “You’re too early!” On a bright and sunny Saturday morning, this is music to the ears to Mayor Jim Watson, who wanders into a farmers market in Ottawa’s rural outskirts. “I know, I know,” he says, laughing. It’s just after 8 a.m. on Aug. 10, and while it is still pretty quiet at the North Gower Farmers Market, Mayor Watson, clutching a reusable navy bag, heads into the market, on a hunt for dessert. And so begins a typical start to the mayor’s weekend schedule. While this particular Saturday was not the busiest in the mayor’s books, it is just a taste of what he does on a semi-regular basis, minus the usual city business which takes place during the week. Every year, the mayor’s office receives nearly 5,000 invitations to city-wide events from community organizations and individuals. While it’s next to impossible to attend each and every event, the Mayor usually accepts almost half of them or asks his deputy mayors to represent him at the events he can’t attend. On this summer day, Mayor Watson is scheduled to attend 10 events, a considerably light day for His Worship. The most events he’s attended on one day is 18. “The lines start to blur a little bit,” he says of all the events he attends. Riding shotgun, the mayor sips on a hot tea and unwraps a toasted bagel with cream cheese, and partway through the morning, flicks the radio on to 105.3 KISS-FM, turning up the volume slightly to better hear one of his favourite pop songs of the moment. He flips open his schedule to reveal red highlighted blocks. The red ones on his schedule indicate a “must attend” event, where he is either giving greetings or making a presentation, or both. The ones that aren’t highlighted are ones he will drop in at, even just for a few minutes, if time allows. Throughout the day, the mayor
keeps an eye on the time, and suggests quicker routes to special assistant and driver Will Bulmer. He pulls some trivia out every once in a while about the city he’s lived in for most of his life. “That was the first Tim Horton’s in Ottawa,” he said pointing out a coffee shop on Montreal Road. With a number of different job portfolios already under his belt, the mayor knows the city like the back of his hand. The former MPP and minister of municipal affairs and housing is well into his second stint as mayor. The first time, Watson was elected in 1997, before the city was amalgamated. The number and style of events he attended in those two roles were vastly different from what he attends now, he said, mainly because the city was a regional municipality. Now, the mayor goes the distance to try to attend as many community events as possible. THE DAY
The North Gower and Metcalfe farmers’ markets were the first two stops on Watson’s schedule. After realizing his earliness, Watson instructs his driver to take a little spin around the neighbourhood and into the country. During the cruise, the mayor remarks on rural life in the city, saying how important it is to support local farmers and growers. He picks up a few baked goods from the farmers market in North Gower, shaking hands with a few of the vendors and marveling at the array of pies, jams, and fresh fruits and vegetables on display. In Metcalfe, he picks up some sweet corn, before buying a few chocolate cookies from a young vendor. He learns it’s Junior Vendors Day at the market, a special event showing off some of the creations youngsters have displayed. Inside the hall, he bumps into fellow colleague Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, engaging him in some gentle ribbing. Before too long, it’s time to hit the road for Ottawa’s east end, where a playground unveiling is set to hap-

Mayor Jim Watson enjoyed learning about the many cultural groups and organizations while at the Muslim Association of Canada’s annual summer festival. The event was just one of 11 stops the mayor made while on the road on Aug. 10. pen with Ottawa Community Housing. On comes the music. Once arriving at Carson Road, Watson connects with Jo-Anne Poirier, CEO of Ottawa Community Housing, and Tony Greco of Greco Lean and Fit, who partnered with the organization and a myriad of volunteers to helped build the playground. After speaking and thanking the organizations and volunteers, he receives a quick tour of the newly installed structure. The Carson Road housing development is a project Watson has had his eye on ever since he was in charge of municipal affairs and housing. “It’s nice to see things come full circle,” he said. The fourth stop of the morning is a visit to Strathcona Park in the city’s Sandy Hill neighbourhood, where the 13th annual Art in Strathcona Park is taking place. “This was once a golf course,” said Watson. He strolls up and down the sidewalk, glancing at the art on display, and shaking hands with the artists, expressing amazement at their work. The mayor’s a familiar face to a few who say they have met him be-
fore at another event. After stopping at all the vendors, it’s time to take off for the fifth event of the day – the Muslim Summer Festival at Britannia Park, hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada. There he receives a cultural lesson as he walks from tent to tent, and is greeted by the organizers, joined by fellow area politicians including Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, Ottawa South MPP-elect John Fraser, and council colleague Shad Qadri. The sixth stop of the day is the annual garlic festival at the Carp Farmers Market. A traffic jam into Carp slows the drive into the village, and causes time at the festival to be a bit shorter than expected. After finding Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, the two present an award to the best garlic booth. Glancing at his watch, the mayor says it’s time to motor, and head to his seventh event in the west end, Glabar Park Community Fun Day, in Carlingwood, where he grabs a bite to eat, makes the rounds, and then departs again, this time for Orléans. “It’s hard to try and eat healthy when you’re on the run,” he said. The eighth event of the day is a big one for the mayor, who delivers
congratulatory remarks on the 30th anniversary of the Orléans Day Care Centre, and participates in the official ceremonies. The ninth event of the day is Festival of India at City Hall, an event the mayor attended earlier to but didn’t have as much time to visit. The tenth event is Jam Day at Mooney’s Bay Park, where the mayor greets the masses gathered and congratulates them on their achievements. The next and last event of the day is the Chinese Night Market at the T&T Superstore, where the mayor is practically a celebrity as he poses for photos and enjoys a shrimp delicacy. It’s 5 p.m., and before he knows it, the day is done. A family supper will round out the evening before he is at it again the next morning. And Watson wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. “People ask me why I go to all these events, but I feel it’s important to go and to show support because the organizers have spent so much time putting it together,” he says. “The least I can do is show up for even half an hour or so to thank them.”

They have courses for aspiring young talent and aspiring seniors who either want to try out acting for the first time or get back to it. “This company is about teaching recreational actors, who may not necessarily want to act as a profession, but want to act on the side,” said co-founder Chris Ralph. “Our goal is to help people communicate better in life, and in acting, to help people who are looking for real practical outcome. It’s open for everyone.” The company was formed by Ralph and John Muggleton. When it comes to teaching, both are very experienced. Ralph works at the Gladstone Theatre and is an acting coach and teacher who taught
at York University, the University of Ottawa, the Ottawa Theatre School and Algonquin College. Muggleton, a recipient of the Audrey Ashley award for his dedication to the Ottawa theatre community, is an actor, director and teacher. Ralph said the company’s goal is more than just teaching classes. The group is looking to create a downtown arts hub. “Our doors are always open; we will always have the coffee on,” he said. And the space Ralph and Muggleton have acquired for the company is perfect. It is the former original stage of the Glebe’s old Avalon Theatre – at 738 Bank St. – complete with the old stairs, rafters and brick walls. “To look at the building from the outside, you’d never know there was this incredible space hiding under all that plaster,” Ralph said “But when we went up the stairs we were stunned to find ourselves on the original stage. It has 30-foot-high ceilings, hardwood floors, brick walls and even a balcony.” The space can fit about 60 people, so Ralph said they plan to also rent out the room to other organizations for plays and events. Classes will be a mix. There is a seniors-only class available during the day, which will focus on content relevant to people over the age of 55,
regardless of talent or experience. There will also be classes focused on improv, monologue and audition technique, communications, acting for cameras, and playwriting. Children’s classes will start at age five, and a teen Shakespeare ensemble and an audition “boot camp” will be offered to senior high school students. All courses require registration and vary in pricing. More information about the courses is available online at actingcompany.ca. In addition to rolling out the educational programming from Mondays to Thursdays, Ralph said the building will be open Friday to Sunday, when the space will be available for performances or events. The company has already attracted partners such as Ottawa School of Speech and Drama. The school’s executive director, Amanda Lewis, has founded a new group called the Ottawa Children’s Theatre and will offer classes for children and youth there. Theatre educators Kristina Watt, award-winning playwright Laurie Fyffe, local Glebe resident Mary Ellis, and Gemini winner Robert Bachstael have also joined the company. Some classes have already begun, with the full programming starting in September. Visit actingcompany.ca for more information.

Mother in a fit state for Aunt Lizzie’s visit MARY COOK Memories
M
other was in a state! Aunt Lizzie was on her way from Regina for her annual summer visit. As usual, she gave little notice. A letter had come just days before she was to arrive.
That gave little time for Mother to get the house in spic and span order. Father reminded her she had just torn the whole place upside down for the spring cleaning. “That was months ago, Albert. And you know your sister. She can

spot a fleck of dust a mile away.” Aunt Lizzie would be given the bed Audrey and I slept in, and that meant we would be sent down to the creton couch in the kitchen, where we would have to sleep foot-to-foot since it was so narrow. Heaven forbid that Aunt Lizzie would sleep on a feather mattress, which was what was on Audrey’s and my bed. The only felt mattress was on Mother and Father’s bed in the downstairs bedroom. That meant the brothers had to haul down the one from upstairs, and lug the other one upstairs, which didn’t please them a bit. After all, it was a Saturday, and they had planned on a day of fishing in the Bonnechere...not a day spent lugging mattresses up and down the stairs. But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use. That is, all except Father. He wanted no part of what he considered unnecessary work. He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Mother’s frantic house cleaning was over. My sister and I also had to give up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out. What a carry-on, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina. Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County. There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzie’s visit lasted. So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to baking. The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of store-bought bread, and a real pound of butter replaced what we ate every day on the farm. Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Father was concerned, he wasn’t about to change his habits just because Aunt Lizzie was coming with her high-falutin airs.
Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special. One time it was a doll, which, except for its body, was made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China. I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train in Renfrew Station. She always wore pure white – a white dress in the latest fashion – and a big wide red leghorn hat, and white gloves that went all the way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring. Tiny red patent-leather shoes completed the outfit. I would marvel at the wealth of our western cousins. Didn’t her two sons go to university? And didn’t she have a free pass to travel anywhere in the entire country by train? All because Uncle Jack worked for the CPR. And of course, it was Aunt Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send it off to Renfrew on the train. It was the hand-me-down box. Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit. Finally, the house was spotless. We were warned to take our shoes off at the door, not to touch the woodwork which had just been polished, and to make sure our bedrooms were kept spotlessly clean – a tall order for five rambunctious kids. Aunt Lizzie was to arrive in three days. We couldn’t be more ready. Then the phone rang one morning, just after our breakfast. It was the stationmaster in Renfrew. There was a telegram from the west. Mother asked him to read it ... no use going all the way into town for bad news, or good news, whatever the case may be. It was from Aunt Lizzie, and she was so sorry, but her trip had to be cancelled because Uncle Jack was getting an unexpected award from the CPR, and it was on the very weekend she planned on leaving. They had been given a trip to Calgary. Her trip would have to wait until the next summer. Mother asked the stationmaster to read it again. After she hung up the phone, she let out the biggest sigh which I thought could be heard in Douglas. For supper that night Mother hauled out a pie from the ice box, we all had store-bought bread with real butter, we five kids sat at the table with our shoes on, and there sat Father with his tea in his saucer, cooling it off until it was fit to drink.

Recent filming captures bit of Ottawa’s heritage Period piece shot at Cumberland Village, ByWard Market Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Arts - Ottawa’s heritage got the chance to shine as one of the lead roles in an 19thcentury period film shot in the city this summer. Tell the World, tells the story of the origins of the Seventh-Day Adventists. The film is set in 1812-70.The $5 million budget film employed more than 90 Ottawa-area actors, 1,000 extras and 100 local crew members were hired. The film shot on location at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, the ByWard Market, Upper Canada Village in Cornwall and at a studio in Ottawa South. Producer and president of Zed Filmworks Robert Menzies said it’s the six film the company has produced and shot in Ottawa this year and the 21st film the company has filmed in the city since 2007 and the first period piece for the company. Menzies credits the city for the successful shoot. “We work in a small com-
munity and have to be aware of the public,” Menzies said. “But the public is great. Everyone is friendly. That’s what’s great about Ottawa people are excited to have us here.” According to Menzies, one of the hardest things was to make sure the locations, costumes and props were historically correct. “It was a very big challenge - and this is why I am so proud of my Ottawa crew, they really rose to the challenge,” he said. Costumes were acquired through local museums as well as located and shipped from across the country. The art department built 25 sets at the company’s Letrim Road converted warehouse studio and the film was able to utilize some of the city’s best heritage locations, like the Cumberland Village Heritage Museum. The crew had to remove museum signs and wheel chair ramps but that was about it. “It was great, because it is
a village,” Menzies said. Shooting in the market had its challenges, mostly because the busy downtown tourist spot doesn’t stop because of a film, but Menzies said businesses, residents and tourists were all accommodating. “This is what is so good about shooting in Ottawa, everybody is there to help,” Menzies said. “We worked with the BIA, Invest Ottawa and the residents who lived in the condos in the area and everybody gave us full reign to do what we needed to do.” The producer, always thinking about dollars being spent and time allotted to get things done, credits the community’s support to shooting on schedule and without any problems. The film is wrapped and post-production will take place in Australia, who supplied most of the funding for the production. The intent is to have a theatrical release. As far as the little Ottawa film company that can, there

With the upcoming release of the House at the End of the Street, staring Jennifer Law-
rence, as well as a recently wrapped shoot with Two and a Half Men star John Cryer, the producer said it’s onward and upward to the next film.

Mayor’s Report Progress and green sPace at Lansdowne By Jim Watson
In July we broke ground on the urban park, which will be one of the great features of the new Lansdowne. Until now, the irony of the name Lansdowne Park was that there was very little parkland on the site. We are finally replacing the sea of asphalt with useable park space for all residents to enjoy. The new Lansdowne Park will be a complete community with opportunities for shopping,recreation activities,football,soccer, and an urban park. These features will solidify Lansdowne as one of the marquee destinations in Ottawa. Steph Willems/Metroland
Fill the Hill More than 2,000 young people from 81 countries converged on Parliament Hill on the morning of July 8 for the official opening of the 14th annual World Scout Moot. The Rovers Scouts, aged 18 to 26, were welcomed by Gov.-Gen. David Johnston and John Neysmith, member of the World Scout Committee, along with Alice Jerone, grand chief of the Algonquin Tribal Council. The Scouts perform outdoor activities at a base camp set up at Awacamenj Mino park in the wilderness north or the National Capital Region before visiting one of three cities – Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto – for the ‘urban experience’ part of the week.
Grand Prix Race Weekend September 6–8, 2013
The urban park promises to be a significant upgrade over the existing facility: three times more park space (18 acres), four times more trees, 7.2 kilometres of sidewalks and pathways, and five pieces of public art. The centrepiece of the urban park will be the Great Lawn, a pentagon-shaped green space next to the Rideau Canal and the beautiful Aberdeen Pavilion that will be roughly the size of the lawn on Parliament Hill and a great place to spend time with your family and friends (see artist’s rendition). The urban park will also sit next to the newly renovated stadium. Sports fans will enjoy significant improvements to the north side stands and brand new south side stands. This work is essential so that Ottawa can play host to our new CFL team, the Ottawa REDBLACKS, for the start of the 2014 season. Construction crews have been working tirelessly and I am pleased that we are on schedule for the stadium to be complete for kickoff in summer 2014. Elements of the urban park will also be complete for the first game, with the new Lansdowne Park in its entirety complete by the summer 2015. As with any major infrastructure project, there is noise and dust on the construction site. Our contractors and City project staff are working hard to mitigate potential headaches for the surrounding community and minimize disruptions as best they can. I also want to thank the Glebe BIA for being such a tremendous partner in this project. I am proud of how well everyone has been working together. The revitalization of Lansdowne has been a long time coming and I am thrilled that the end is in sight. If you would like to learn more and stay up to date, I encourage you to sign up for the regular updates and follow construction progress at ottawa.ca/newlansdowne.

News - The mayor’s annual Charity Golf Classic raised $60,000 for recently rebranded Youth Ottawa, according to estimates by Youth Ottawa executive director Lynne Denis. Youth Ottawa, formerly known as Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa, is a local non-profit that aims to help youngsters drive change in the capital. Denis said the total wasn’t official yet, but was pleased with the turnout
at the organization’s largest annual fundraiser. Adam Moscoe, chair of the organization’s board of directors, said 26 foursomes turned out for the event, at $900 per team. Mayor Jim Watson said the crowd was a little smaller than the record breaking-crowd last year. “But it gives people more room to play and everyone’s having fun,” he said. Denis said the funds support programs like the Spirit of the Capital
Youth Awards, which recognizes the work of young people in Ottawa. The proceeds also help support the For Youth, By Youth News outlet and Youth Ottawa’s participation in a Youth summit action plan in partnership with the City of Ottawa. The young people involved in the programs are provided with mentorship, skills training and adult support. Moscoe said the golf classic was a great way to showcase the new branding of Youth Ottawa. “We have a lot on the go and all of it has the input of youth,” Denis said. “They are the future of our community, so they should help in shaping it.”

New MPP ready to get to work John Fraser sets sights on community service, helping residents Sabine Gibbins
sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward
News – For John Fraser, the real work has just begun. The future Ottawa South MPP claimed victory on Aug. 1 in the riding’s byelection, keeping the fiery Liberal red theme alive in the riding. Fraser won the election with 14,925 votes, which is 42.3 per cent of the vote, followed by Progressive Conservative candidate Matt Young who took 13,631 votes (38.7 per cent). Calling it a humbling experience as he sits in his constituency office on Kilborn Avenue, Fraser said he owed a lot of gratitude to his campaign team, family, and supporters. “You still have that adrenaline,” he said. “You don’t lose it just because you win.” Fraser will officially become the newly-minted MPP at Queen’s Park at the end of August. Now in a transition period, Fraser is in the midst of hiring staff and setting up his constituency office. The campaign in itself was a formidable task, said Fraser, who spent considerable time dodging backlash and criticism from angry residents over the Liberals track record in government. But Fraser said he took it all in

vice, or finding affordable long-term housing options for seniors, Fraser believes it is those types of day-to-day issues which residents are most concerned about. “We ran the campaign that we wanted to run,” said Fraser. No doors were ignored. In fact, he said, there were times when they hit a residence three times. His team left no stone unturned, he said, campaigning right up the very last few minutes of election day. “It was very special,” he said. “We were all working towards a common purpose.” As the campaign went on, the team collected more and more volunteers, and was also joined by Premier Kathleen Wynne on more than one occasion. Although Fraser served as executive assistant to former premier and Ottawa South MPP Dalton McGuinty for 14 years, asking for support for his campaign was a different thing altogether. Previously, Fraser managed small- and medium-sized local businesses before entering public service. It was a series of firsts for Fraser, politically-speaking. Voting for himself during the advanced polling was a surreal moment altogether, he said, adding that seeing his name on a ballot was a strange experience. Campaigning allowed Fraser to see what was going on in the community he’s lived in most of his life in a different way. With the torch being passed down to him, Fraser said his office will continue serving constituents and showing support to all organizations, as well as working alongside the other parties despite different opinions. “We need to find a way to get things for people,” he said. “Community building, I think, is a really important part of the job.” Election night was a celebration of achievements and hard work Fraser’s team undertook during the course of the campaign, he said. “Election night was really great to be with everyone,” he said. “It’s a humbling feeling to get support from friends and neighbours. It’s a real privilege to be able to share this with people who you really care about.”

The medals had been awarded to Clarence Evelyn Rielly, who served with the Canadian Engineers in the First World War and the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War. “It would be great for the museum to have this collection because next year we’ll be commemorating 100 years since the First World War started,” said Kathryn Jamieson, curator manager of Goulbourn Museum. “We do not have an acquisition budget,” she said. “The only way we’d be able to bring it back to the museum is we get donations for it.” The exhibition will launch in June 2014. “This collection could be incorporated into the exhibit if we can rally enough support and raise money to secure the winning bid,” she said. The Rielly collection, which is listed as in good condition, includes: • First World War Medal • First World War Victory Medal • Second World War Canadian Volunteer Service Medal • Second World War Medal • Second World War Royal Air Force Long Service and Good Conduct Medal • Royal Canadian Air Force Reserve pin • Second World War service pin • Two original photos of Rielly in his RAF uniform Clarence Rielly, who was born in Richmond, enlisted in the Canadian Engineers, part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, in 1917. Rielly served as a telegraph officer during the First World War and later joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. The auction of Reilly’s war medals, pins and photographs will close on Aug. 15 at 2:56 p.m. The value of this collection for the museum comes from the collection as a whole, preserving the story of a war hero from Goulbourn Township, said Jamieson. The rarest medal in this collection is the RCAF Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, which Rielly earned after serving for 18 years with air force. What makes these medals so special, according to Jamieson, is that only 487 of them had been awarded to Canadians. Jamieson asked for all support to go through the museum rather than bidding individually, which would drive the price of the acquisition up. Cash or cheque donations and pledges can be made to the Goulbourn Museum, which is a registered charity. The museum will offer tax receipts for all donations more than $10. The museum is open Wednesday
to Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. and is located at 2064 Huntley Rd., south of Stittsville. MEDAL HUNTER
The museum was notified about the sale by Dave Thomson, a 54year-old auto parts dealer in St. George, Ont. Locating war medals for sale on eBay started out as a hobby for Thomson in 2006, when he discovered a First World War medal of Henry Hough, a soldier from Princeton, Ont., a nearby town. Thomson purchased the medal and donated it to the local museum. “I thought that was cool and I did it again,” said Thomson. “I was having fun doing this. Within a year, Thomson had spent $4,000 on medal purchases and realized he couldn’t continue on his own anymore. “I had to change my operations,” said Thomson. “I couldn’t afford to do this.” Since then, he has spent much of his spare time surfing the Internet searching for other Canadian war medals for sale, notifying local museums, the media and family members in towns across Ontario. In 2009, Thomson was awarded a Ministry of Veteran Affairs Commendation for helping to preserve veterans’ history and the following year he was placed in ebay’s hall of fame for preserving Canadian history. Thomson estimates he has helped purchase more than $250,000 worth
ebay
The Goulbourn Museum is hoping to raise enough money to purchase a set of medals earned by a Richmond man during the First and Second World Wars. of war medals on eBay, including more than 200 Memorial Crosses, half a dozen medals awarded posthumously to soldiers killed at Vimy Ridge, a Distinguished Flying Cross awarded to William Otway Bodger, a First World War flying ace, and med-
als from the Boer War, Korean War and Vietnam conflict. “It doesn’t take long to add up,” he said. Thomson said he started his hobby because he likes helping people. “We all find our own way to say
thank you to the veterans,” he said. The Goulbourn museum has an opportunity to return Rielly’s medals to his hometown, said Thomson. “If raise enough funds and buy these then they belong to the people of Richmond.”

Pet Adoptions
Meet Chrissy. She’s a spayed female, brown Abyssinian and tabby domestic shorthair cat who’s looking for her forever home. She’s about two-years-old and was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 22. Chrissy is a classy, exotic-looking kitty who loves her peace and quiet. That means
she’d be happiest in a home with older teens or adults. She’d love to just curl up in a sunny patch on your living room floor. This kitty has a true Abyssinian personality, which means Chrissy is a bit of a diva. But can you blame her? She’s beautiful and she knows it.
Meet Lady Gaga, a two-year-old, spayed female, calico domestic longhair cat who was surrendered by her owner on June 18 and is ready to be adopted! She came to the shelter with her best friend Sunday (A102737), and would much prefer being accompanied by her when going to her new forever home. Lady Gaga has been known to use her scratching post daily, and would be okay with living with a gentle, and non-intrusive dog. She needs a quiet home with owners who will give her time to show her true self. She likes to play shy but with a few treats and time, she will surely blossom! Visit the OHS website at www. otVisit the OHS website at www. ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Though many pets are celebrated as family members, there are those that aren’t so lucky. Every day, the Ottawa Humane Society becomes a safe haven for animals that are lost, abandoned, neglected, or abused. During the summer months, our shelter fills up with animals and we are desperate to find them the loving homes they deserve. Why are there so many homeless pets? The answer isn’t simple. There are many reasons why people are surrendering their companion animals to the OHS, such as allergies, aggressive behaviour, a move, or they simply do not have the time. Pets are a responsibility that consume both your time and money. Costs such as food, toys, treats and, most importantly, veterinarian care add up quick and many people don’t take into consideration the
amount of time it takes to care for an animal. Right now, the OHS has approximately 105 cats, 20 dogs, and 20 small animals available for adoption, with 227 animals in foster care. With about seven animals entering our care daily, you can expect to see those numbers increase. So what can you do to help Ottawa’s homeless animals on Aug. 17? Spay or neuter your animals: If your pet has a litter, even if you find homes for most of the puppies or kittens, in one year, all those puppies or kittens could have litters of their own. Millions of dollars are spent annually to care for lost, abandoned and unwanted pets. Contact your local vet or the City of Ottawa Spay/Neuter Clinic to discuss the best age at which to spay your pet. Adopt from the Ottawa Humane Society:
Not only are you giving an animal a second chance at the life they deserve, you are getting an animal that is spayed or neutered, has an implanted microchip, has been vet checked, and comes with six weeks of free pet health insurance – all for a low price! Donate or volunteer: Not ready to add a pet to your family but love animals? Hold your own event for the animals, become a PAW monthly donor, or check out the multiple volunteer opportunities at the OHS! Find out how you can help by visiting our website at www.ottawahumane.ca. Looking for the purrfect pal? Visit the OHS Adoption Centre, or one of our Pet Adoption Locations during the month of August, and bring home an adult cat for $125!

Sports - Louis Riel high school alumnus Chad Bush was named the Premier Development League’s top goalkeeper in an Aug. 3 awards ceremony in Texas. Bush, who plays for the Ottawa Fury soccer team, won the award at the 2013 PDL awards banquet following the 2013 league championships in Austin, Texas. He lead the league in shutouts, locking down nine through out the regular and post-season, and helped lead the Fury to a Northeast Division title this year. Bush gained the starting keeper role after Nils Carlson suffered an injury in early June, and helped the Fury finish with an 8-0-1 record in the regular season. He got on a shutout streak at one point, playing 830 minutes for the Fury without letting in a goal. The 6-foot-2 keeper was also named to the league’s all-conference and all-league teams, and was nominated for

PET OF THE WEEK
Help a homeless pet on International Homeless Animals’ Day
Well you might ask, how does a white cat come to be called Blackie. His original name was Bowie, as in David Bowie who has two different coloured eyes. However, I was hoping for a female kitten when I got him and so, somewhat irrationally, I renamed him, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, for the hard-rocking girl band. Since Blackie knows who he is and as such, refuses to come to Joan, I shortened his name to the only other possibility, Blackie. He is everyone’s little darling here in Centretown.

Aries, you have a firm grasp on what you need to accomplish in the week ahead. Stay focused on your tasks and that focus will pay off by the end of the week. Taurus, your financial burden is a little easier this week. Perhaps you have caught up on bills or have received a little extra money you didn’t expect. Gemini, whether you are in a relationship or are looking for a new romantic partner, the next few days are the moments for putting on the charm. Cancer, many things need to get done this week before you can set work aside and take a much-needed vacation. Once you get through the bulk of things, you can relax. Save some of your good fortune for others, Leo. When you share the wealth, not only will you feel better about yourself, but also you will certainly have more friends around you. Without you the well-oiled wheels of the work machine just won’t spin correctly, Virgo. That can put a lot of pressure on you in your career, so weigh the options of a day off.

Libra, sometimes you have to be the voice of reason, and this won’t always make you popular with others. Though some may not rally around you this week, they’ll relent. Something that seemed like a good idea at first glance may not seem like the best thing to do right now, Scorpio. Switch gears while you can still take another path. Sagittarius, although you may rather spend your time doing something else for the next few days, handle your upcoming obligations without complaint. Surround yourself with close friends, Capricorn. They will serve as your anchor in difficult situations that may come to pass this week. It’s good to have a support system. There is more to you than others see, Aquarius. Sometimes you relish in being mysterious, and this is one of those times. Others’ interest will be piqued. Don’t take any sniffles or sneezes for granted, Pisces. Make sure this week you pay attention to your health to ensure good days ahead.
