Westboro Fuse shutting down parts of Richmond Road BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
This year’s Westboro Fuse isn’t just about igniting the
street, but uniting the businesses along it. Westboro Fuse is back for the second time, Aug. 26 and 27 with a street festival that is putting its
focus back on the businesses that make Westboro home. “We’re really growing in the sense that last year was a great opener,” Mary Thorne,
executive director of the Westboro Village BIA said of the festival that replaced Westfest on Richmond Road. “People came, despite the weather and
they enjoyed every moment, and that’s the impetus to move forward with it again.” See 200, page 2

Two hundred businesses are involved in this year’s event, providing the backdrop and the entertainment for festivalgoers to shop, sip and sample what Westboro has to offer. “I’m really excited about the member engagement,” said Thorne. “It’s really exciting to see people coming together and working together to show all the fabulous things you can do, buy, see, taste and experience here in Westboro.” The event will take place along Richmond Road, with closures between McRae and Churchill avenues and Roosevelt and Golden avenues. It features a main stage with cooking competitions and demos, Fuse-inspired menu items at local restaurants, an unbirthday party for kids, tot trot, kids zone, a South Beach Miami lounge with braid bar, workshops, manicures, live mural painting, pancake breakfast, corn roast and pig roast. There’s even holy hot yoga at All Saints Anglican/First United Church with donations going to the Westboro Food Bank. The zip-lining is back for another go and there will also be a giant inflatable slide. The festival even has its own official cupcake – chocolate truffle and gelato. “This is Westboro’s weekend, and it’s time to show off,” Thorne said. After losing money last year, Fuse has a new producer. Catherine Landry of Call Betty Mar-
keting – creator of Ladies Who Lunch Ottawa – has taken over the festival and making Fuse local is her goal. “I’m all about local,” said Landry after the lineup announcement at Wall Space Gallery on Aug. 10. “Westboro is one of the leading areas in Ottawa that has so many locally owned, non-franchise, independent businesses, all eclectic and all amazing. That was one of my mandates when I came on board,” she said. “I said we are going to get the food trucks out of here and the beer tents out of here and we are going to ignite and unite the merchants to create this epic street festival and we are pretty excited.” Instead of food trucks and beer tents, local restaurants will bring their Fuseinspired food and drinks out onto the sidewalks. Earlier this year the BIA said the festival would come back, but in 2017 would exist during a smattering of weekends, instead of one concentrated festival. “We thought we could do it, but at this point we’re re-evaluating,” BIA board chair Dan Hwang said, adding this is the only weekend event they are ready to announce. Having the event later in the year – it was held in June last year – has organizers hopeful the weather will co-operate. “By moving our dates we want to hedge our bets and hopefully we will get better weather,” Thorne said.

Police officer makes amends at Flotilla for Friendship BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
The Ottawa police officer disciplined for racist comments against local Inuit artist Annie Pootoogook
participated in this year’s Flotilla for Friendship, an event that aims to bring together police officers and Indigenous youth. At the annual event on Aug. 9, Sgt. Chris Hrn-
chiar hopped in a canoe with Pootoogook’s biological daughter, Napachie, her cousin Ellie and their father Veldon Coburn, who adopted the two girls. SkilBilt Construction Inc. is an Ottawa based renovation company specializing in residential renovations and smaller scale commercial projects.

It was a step toward reconciliation with the community that was offended and disappointed by the officer’s comments, said the event’s organizer Lynda Kitchikeesic Juden. “For me this was the best possible outcome. Something really negative has blossomed into something really positive,” she said of Hrnchiar’s attendance at the event. “Honestly, that’s what the flotilla is all about; it’s about bringing unlikely groups together and finding a way to repair a relationship if that’s what was needed or build one if there just isn’t one.” She said it’s an example of what can be achieved. “This means a lot to a lot of people who were affected. It means we can do this, Canadians and First Nations people can do this.” Hrnchiar was demoted for three months because of the comments he made online after Pootoogook’s body was found on the

He pleaded guilty to two counts of discreditable conduct. He also had to undergo sensitivity training. “I’m learning more and
I’m trying to be a better person,” Hrnchiar told Metro Ottawa at the event. “Just trying to pass that on to other people.” See OFFICER’S, page 5
The temperature inside a car can quickly climb, turning it into an oven in minutes. A dog inside will begin to pant, drool, suffer increased heart rate, vomit, have seizures and could even die. The dog’s brain may swell, he may have trouble breathing. The heat may affect all his organs, including his heart, weakening the muscle until the poor dog goes into shock. The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N.: Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car.
For more information on all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
Never Leave a Dog in a Hot Car As we head into August, the Ottawa Humane Society is asking our community to help us make sure no dog is ever left to suffer in a hot car again. It’s only through educating our community and spreading the word that we can make sure the animals in our community are safe all summer long.
Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death.
ALL YOUR PET CARE NEEDS IN ONE CONVENIENT LOCATION
Notify authorities. Contact nearby stores and businesses. Ask them to make an announcement for the owner to return to their car. Get others to help you. If the dog is in distress call the Ottawa Police Service at 911. Stay on the scene to monitor the situation until the owner or help arrives.

After Hrnchiar made those offensive comments, he reached out to the police’s diversity and race relations unit. According to its lead, Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, Hrnchiar attended several events to apologize to the community, get to know its history and he spoke with local elders to ask for forgiveness. “Based on what happened last year and the hurtful comments that were made, there was a lot of healing that was needed to reconcile and this is all part of that journey and there was a lot of effort made by (Hrnchiar) and (Coburn) to go through this process,” Zackrias said. “It’s a lesson for everybody to see that if we are willing to reconcile and build that relationship, it’s possible. We could all learn a lesson from them. That’s why today’s event is a special one.” Hrnchiar’s journey to forgiveness doesn’t end with the flotilla,

Zackrias said. “He’s learning a lot about their journey and their history in Canada. A take-away from this is we could all learn a lesson from this whole experience and we should not judge others.” Officers from five different services participated in the event, including members of the Ontario Provincial Police, Surete de Quebec, RCMP, Gatineau Police, Kitigan Zibi Police, Lac Simon, Awesasne Mohawk Police, MRC Des Collines and the Ottawa Police Services. They partnered with youth from the Odawa Native Friendship Centre, Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, Minwaashin Lodge and the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre to paddle from Dow’s Lake down the canal to the locks near Parliament Hill, before portaging to the Ottawa River and finishing their day by canoeing down the Ottawa River to Victoria Island.

Amy Alice Thompson, who lives two blocks away from Pimisi station, will be working on an east-end station – Lees. Her work is called Transparent Passage and will cost $295,000 to design, produce, fabricate and install.

Artwork to cost more than $7 million Continued from page 6
Recently, the city unveiled the renderings of public art pieces that will appear in each of the Stage 1 stations. All of the transit line’s artwork will cost more than $7 million. There will also be non-integrated art pieces at some of the stations, like at Pimisi. And there are a handful of Ottawa artists involved in those projects as well, according to the city. The Pimisi station has a targeted mandate toward Algon-
quin Anishinabeg artists. Nadia Myre, Kitigan Zibi Anishanabeg from Montreal, is working on three integrated pieces, an eight-foot eel, a sculpture of a basket and a glazed panel birch tree windscreen. But on top of that, several standalone pieces have also been commissioned; including an Algonquin canoe paddle, moose and more. Simon Brascoupé, from Ottawa, is the lead artist on that project, with artists Emily Brascoupé, also of Ottawa,
Sherry-Ann Rodgers from Gatineau, Doreen Stevens from Kitigan Zibi Anishanabeg, Sylvia Tennisco from Pikwàkanagàn participating. Local Kenneth Emig is the artist behind Sphere Field, a two-metre cube of mirror and glass with lights at Ottawa U station.

A tarmac travesty T
ake 300-plus people, stick them in a tube for seven hours, turn up the temperature and then keep them confined for another six hours. It’s a recipe for unhappy customers. An Air Transat flight stuck on Ottawa airport’s tarmac for six hours on a steamy July 31 was a travelling travesty. The plane was diverted to Ottawa from Montreal due to storms. There was a stormy atmosphere inside the plane too after passengers waited and waited to take off for Montreal. It’s not entirely clear what caused the lack of service to the plane – fuel and water. The airline – which has received a serious black eye from all the horror stories shared by passengers – and the airport have traded accusations about what services were offered to the Air Transat flight, and what services were declined. All we can be sure of is that a seven-hour flight ended up being about double that time, and that the stay in Ottawa was brutal due to lack of air conditioning on a hot day.
Hopefully a Canadian Transportation Agency investigation will get to the bottom of it. It shouldn’t have happened but it did. But job one is to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In May, the federal government introduced legislation to create a passenger bill of rights. The goal is to make sure travellers know the service levels to which they are entitled, and provide compensation if travel arrangements are disrupted by events within the airline’s control. It’s a fair request of air carriers. In fact, common sense says Canadian travellers should have been protected by such measures a generation ago. Maybe it’s a sign of poor quality across the board that Canadians need to spell out such minimums of service in a federal law. A new passenger bill of rights should be passed quickly and it should be enforced. Every political party should be on board with better protections for captive airline passengers.
Football is not the leader in concussion stats
I
n a recent column for the American Press, author Paul Newberry predicted the demise of American football. His argument centred on concussion statistics, citing a University of Boston study that found of 202 former professional football players, nearly all had a brain disease resulting from blows to the head. It’s a neatly, cherry-picked stat that Newberry uses to make football out to be a “gladiatorial sport,” which he argues has no place in modern society. Three years ago, my eldest started playing football. I was pretty uncomfortable with the idea. Watching a bunch of seven- to-10-year-olds engage in this wild and violent behaviour often left me feeling nervous. Relatives have frequently questioned why I allow my son to continue in such a violent sport.
But is football the most dangerous sport in America, as Newberry would like us to believe? The short answer is no. In 2015, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published a study Capital Muse examining concussion risk among athletes per 1,000 minutes of athletic exposure (AE). The research included At the same time, I watched my son a review of 23 international studies on thrive in team sport for the first time, concussions in sports. The average risk of head injuries across all sports was rapidly gaining confidence he never had in hockey, volleyball or soccer. He 0.23 injuries per 1,000 minutes of AE.

He explained his personal also higher than average, particularly sentiment that football is truly the among males. only team sport, where every player As soccer becomes more popular has an essential role in the success of across the U.S., particularly in high each play.

Kindergarten: an important step in your child’s life
Is your child about to start kindergarten? It’s a milestone that stays engraved in one’s memory for years to come (if not a lifetime). In fact, many adults still clearly remember their very first day of school and the mishmash of emotions that came along with this new beginning. Here are a few valuable pieces of advice to help your tiny one prepare for their big day: • Always stay positive and enthusiastic when talking to your child about starting school, and don’t forget to express how proud you are that they’ll soon be among the “big kid” ranks. • Explain how a normal school day unfolds (recess, lunchtime, after school supervision, transportation, etc.) and assure your loved one that there will always be an adult present to help. • Encourage your child to share how they’re feeling faced with this new beginning. Are they nervous? Scared? Ease their mind by letting
them know that what they’re feeling is completely normal and that other kids are just as anxious. • To help your child get accustomed to their changed schedule, initiate their new routine (going to bed early, waking up, getting dressed, eating breakfast, etc.) seven to 10 days before the start of school. • Dedicate an area of your home where your child can proudly display their drawings, crafts and other school projects. • The evening before the start of school, help your child prepare their clothes, backpack and lunchbox for the following day. • Most importantly, don’t forget to take memorable pictures to immortalize the big day when it finally arrives. Many schools organize fun activities for children entering kindergarten (classroom and schoolyard visits, meetings with teachers, etc.) to facilitate the transition. By participating in these activities with your child,
you can help them get accustomed to their novel environment and soothe their anxieties about starting this new chapter in their life. HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS
Did you know that children who never consume sugary drinks could potentially rank higher in reading comprehension than their peers? Did you also know that exercise stimulates memory and that adequate sleep improves concentration? Over time, various studies have shown that healthy lifestyle habits — like eating well, exercising daily for 30 minutes and sleeping 8 to 12 hours per night — contribute to greater academic success. As a parent, you could ensure your child thrives in school by helping them adopt the following habits: • Eating a well-balanced breakfast every morning that includes whole grains, fruit, dairy and a source of
protein (peanut butter, tofu, eggs, etc.). • Consuming at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. • Restricting foods that carry little
nutritional value (fried foods, chips, soft drinks, sweets, etc.). • Exercising daily (playing sports, walking to school, biking, jumping rope, etc.).

Music and studying can make a good match Tunes and homework can be a healthy habit for many students Can music help you study? Do you usually listen to music while you study? If so, you’ll be pleased to learn it’s actually a healthy habit that may help improve concentration and lead to better grades. However, this doesn’t mean you should listen to whatever you want, whenever you want. Most specialists recommend listening to soothing instrumental music for increased learning. Classical music is particularly effective at creating a study environment for tasks that involve logic, planning and critical thinking; Mozart’s famed piano concertos and Beethoven’s Für Elise, for instance, are excellent choices for revising mathematical equations. The same goes for the baroque sounds of Vivaldi or Pachelbel, which are also known to help students achieve the mindset needed for scientific thought.
In contrast, when it’s time to express your artistic side, jazz and rock music might help get your creative juices flowing. For those who are studying literature, a new language or social sciences, pop music works like a charm. Finally, if you’re feeling unmotivated or have a short attention span, take a quick break every once in a while and gather your thoughts to a disco, reggae or country rhythm. Some studies suggest that listening to music stimulates alpha brain waves, which may be beneficial for relaxation, learning and memory. Nevertheless, keep in mind that music is a subjective art and its effects aren’t universal. For some people, studying in complete silence is the best (or only) way to achieve optimal productivity.

Being next farmfarm to Uncle Alec’s the next to Uncle Alec’s though, meant that we got a look at the new Plymouth before anyone else at Northcote. And what a beauty it was.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even though you need to concentrate, do not turn up the intensity so much that it becomes stressful. Take a break every now and then to unwind and get away. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are eager to listen and learn, but you also want to create your own experiences and share them with others. Find a balance between being a teacher and a student. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you excel at thinking through decisions before making them. This careful approach tends to work in your favor, but some decisions can be made more quickly than others.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, an important decision must be made in the very near future. Your judgement may be clouded by extraneous information, so try to block unnecessary noise.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You are at a turning point in your life and now may be a good time to make a few key changes, Leo. They may involve making new friends or exploring a new career.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you have a lot to get done, you will be able to make decisions on your feet and adapt as the situation calls for it this week. Changes can come about quickly. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Actively explore any impulses you may have over the next few days, Libra. You may not have the freedom for such exploration beyond this week, so act soon. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, some time relaxing seems like the ideal
scenario right now. But you’re not prone to sitting still too long. Look for activities that keep you engaged.

sudoku
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!
