Sens rink opens in Accora Village steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - The list of recreational options for kids living in Accora Village just got a lot longer following the opening of a new Sens RINK in Bayshore Park. The multi-use, paved ice pad was unveiled during an Aug. 14 ceremony attended by local children, city representatives, and members of the Ottawa Senators Foundation – who
initiated the Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids (RINK) program. The Sens RINK is one of 20 such facilities the foundation is seeking to build in underserviced neighbourhoods across the region. The rink is part of a larger, $250,000 improvement project aimed at revitalizing Bayshore Park. See FACILITY, page 13

Ottawa Centre EcoDistrict wants drivers to go electric Sparks Street event aims to dispel electric car myths Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Electric and partially electric cars are becoming more commonplace on Ottawa streets, but many factors keep them from gaining wider acceptance. The Ottawa Centre EcoDistrict is teaming up with local and national organizations to shed light on the electric vehicle sector and advocate for better charging infrastructure at an event planned for Sparks Street this September. The event fits within the organization’s mandate of creating a more sustainable Ottawa. The EcoDistrict’s electric vehicle showcase – part of National Drive Electric Week – will take place Sept. 19 on Sparks, between Bank and O’Connor streets, and will allow residents to get behind the wheel of the latest the industry has to offer. Electric vehicle owners from the non-profit Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa will be on hand to share their experiences with living – and commuting – with a car that doesn’t use gasoline. EcoDistrict executive director Don Grant said the response to the coming event shows there is big interest in the growing field. “It’s amazing how many people across all spectrums are interested in electric cars – it’s not just a green thing,” said Grant. “A lot of people are attracted to the technological
aspect and the fact that they’re cool cars.” Thanks to the Electric Vehicle Council, as well as Plug N’ Drive Ontario (a national electric vehicle owner’s club) a wide range of vehicles will be available for testing. Among them will be four Chevrolt Volts, a Nissan Leaf, two Tesla Model S sedans, a Toyota Prius plug-in, a Mitsubishi i-MiEV, a Ford Fusion or C-Man plugin, and a Porsche Panamera plug-in. The EcoDistrict’s intentions are in line with the World Wildlife Fund, which wants to see 600,000 electric vehicles rolling down Canadian roads by 2020, but takes a more local focus. Grant said the organization is working parallel to environmental advocacy group Ecology Ottawa to see more electric vehicle charging stations made available on city properties downtown. “We’d like to see a (street) surface parking spot dedicated for EV use, ideally on a corner,” said Grant. “A very visible charging station with good signage at a corner would be seen by a lot of people. They would read about it and that will help break down the barrier.” The barriers that exist in the electric vehicles world are not solely related to the higher cost of electric vehicles when compared to similar-sized gas-powered vehicles. “Range anxiety” is a common phenomenon where electric ve-
hicle drivers grow anxious that their car’s battery will run dry before they get to their destination, leaving them stranded with no way of refueling. Some cars, like plug-in hybrids or the Chevy Volt, have the ability to run on electricity or gasoline, thus relieving range anxiety and while increasing the vehicle’s versatility and capability. The Tesla Model S, which is all-electric, counters the phenomenon by offering a battery with a 450-kilometre range, by far the best in the industry. Clark Trivers, program coordinator for the showcase, said improvements in technology have made EVs more accessible for prospective drivers. “There’s a convenience aspect to it, in that you can charge your car at home without having to worry about gas,” said Trivers. “As well, a lot of people misinterpret how far they drive in a day, given that they’re often stuck in traffic a lot.” Trivers said the president of the EcoDistrict’s board of directors drives a Volt and commutes from Kemptville, proving that EVs aren’t solely the domain of downtown urbanites. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., meaning there will be ample opportunity for people to visit. More information on the vehicle showcase and other initiatives and events can be found at ottawaecodistrict.org.

movie. With one movie night already under its belt, the Old Ottawa East Community Activities Group and the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre will host another three movie nights this summer, double what the com-
munity hosted last year. “Based on the popularity of last year’s movie nights, we decided to double our efforts and present two in each park, this summer,” said board member Kevin Farrell. The next movie night sched-

Low-rise apartments proposed for Carruthers Avenue Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - A developer is proposing to intensify a lot in north Hintonburg, but it won’t be on the scale of past plans that riled community members. The property at 178 Carruthers Ave. is currently occupied by a two-storey dwelling, but would see a low-rise apartment building if the city approves a site plan. At four storeys, the building would be within existing zoning, which permits a maximum height of 14.5 metres. The site is adjacent to a Hydro Ottawa transformer facility (located to the north, at the corner of Carruthers and Scott Street), and across the street from the 12 Stirling development site (formerly the Odawa Native Friendship Centre). Future development of that site would see threestorey townhomes fronting onto Carruthers, in keeping with the street’s low-rise character. The development would contain 21 units, with 17 vehicle parking spaces and indoor bike parking. Five of the spaces would be for visitor parking, and two spots would be reserved for Vrtucar use. Of the 17 spots, 10 will be below grade, and the rest partially below-grade. The planning rationale

This artist’s rendering shows what the proposed development at 178 Carruthers Ave. would look like. The building would be four floors plus a mezzanine with 21 units. submitted with the site plan justifies the intensification by referencing nearby amenities and close proximity to public transit, including the Tunney’s Pasture Transitway station. While the number of new vehicles added to the street is low in comparison to a large condo project, a transportation impact brief prepared by D.J. Halpenny and Associates was submitted to give residents and the city a taste of what to expect. Carruthers is a one-way street that moves traffic away
from Scott, towards the closest intersection at Ladouceur Street. Expected vehicle movements from the apartment building alone are estimated to be 12 vehicles entering or leaving the subject property at peak morning hours, and 16 vehicle movements per hour in the afternoon peak. Comments related to the site plan will be accepted by the city until Sept. 12, with a planning staff decision expected to be rendered by Oct. 18.
NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF A CLASS ACTION AGAINST BELL MOBILITY INC. – EXPIRY OF PREPAID PAY-PER-USE BALANCES The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has allowed a class action lawsuit against Bell Mobility Inc. to proceed, which seeks compensation on behalf of all persons in Ontario who were prepaid, pay-per-use wireless phone customers of Bell Mobility, Virgin Mobile Canada and Solo Mobile and had balances remaining in their accounts at the end of an active period which expired between May 4, 2010 and December 16, 2013 (the “Class”). The lawsuit alleges that the defendant breached its contracts with its Ontario customers who used prepaid wireless services by expiring prepaid balances too early, and/or by imposing expiry dates on prepaid balances contrary to provincial regulations applicable to gift cards. The Court has not yet determined whether or not the lawsuit will succeed. Bell Mobility denies that it acted in breach of contract and/or that provincial gift card regulations apply to prepaid wireless services. The representative plaintiff is Celia Sankar. Class counsel will be paid legal fees only if the lawsuit is successful and the legal fees and costs must be approved by the Court. In addition, Ms. Sankar has received funding from the Class Proceedings Fund, which will receive 10% of any award or settlement in favour of Class members plus any funded disbursements.

In its fifth year, the Verdun Windows and Doors Ottawa Charity Ping Pong will take place on Oct. 3 at SpinBin in the ByWard Market.

opportunity to have Ottawa artists play a key role in our charity event,” said Jessica Whiting, lead organizer for the event. “There are so many talented people in our city and we can’t wait to see what designs they come up with.” The organization introduced the paddle contest last year.

Candidate accuses current councillors of theft Legal action considered by some after Gloucester-Southgate candidate posts ‘blacklist’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Ottawa councillors are calling for legal action after a municipal candidate made an online post accusing a “blacklist” of seven council members of corruption and “stealing millions from taxpayers.” Gloucester-Southgate candidate Meladul Haq Ahmadzai linked to the post at blacklistottawa2014.blogspot.com dozens of times starting the evening of Thursday, Aug. 7. Ahmadzai did not return calls on Aug. 8, but in a post he claims responsibility for on the blog, he says the mayor and six city councillors – including his only opponent, incumbent Coun. Diane Deans, “are believed to be involved in corruption at Ottawa city hall and who are believed to have stole millions from taxpayers.” City solicitor Rick
O’Connor said the allegations in the post are of a criminal nature, so he forwarded the matter to the Ottawa police. “I’m no criminal lawyer ... (but) these seem to run the gamut from criminal theft to criminal defamation or even cyber bullying,” O’Connor said. Ahmadzai, 21, registered for the municipal election on April 2. His website says his family moved to Ottawa from Afghanistan when he was nine and that he is well known in the city for his volunteerism with Ecology Ottawa, ACORN Ottawa, the Ottawa Riverkeeper, Oxfam Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. In a speech posted on his website, Ahmadzai claims he felt he “had accomplished” the extradition of Canadian war criminal Omar Khadr to Canada because he debated the matter in a highschool class. Deans said she isn’t going
to let the matter slide. “I think the city needs to take this seriously,” Deans said. “This is completely unfounded and completely baseless.”
cillors accused in the post – which includes Rainer Bloess (Innes), Doug Thompson (Osgoode), Shad Qadri (Stittsville), Peter Hume (Alta Vista), Eli El-Chantiry
I’m not going to have that hanging out there. Obviously there are real issues here. Frankly, I’m furious about it. In politics your name is very, very important. GLOUCESTER-SOUTHGATE COUN. DIANE DEANS
If there is no legal recourse the city can take, Deans said she will seek legal advice about possibly launching a civil defamation case. “I’m not going to have that hanging out there. Obviously there are real issues here,” she said. “Frankly, I’m furious about it. In politics your name is very, very important.” Deans and other coun-
(West Carleton-March) and Diane Holmes (Somerset) – say they’ve never had any interaction with Ahmadzai. El-Chantiry said after seeing the website and tweets posted under Ahmadzai’s name, he questions the candidate’s mental capacity and
health. “Anybody who would speak out like this without any fact, without any knowledge... I question his ability,” El-Chantiry said. “I don’t want to discourage anyone from running (for elected office) ... I consider it an honour because we live in a democracy where anyone can run, no matter who you are,” he said. “The problem is, sometimes the unfortunate part – it’s not required to have even mental stability.” El-Chantiry questioned whether there was a process to disqualify a candidate from the election. Cathy Bergeron of Elections Ottawa said the only thing that would prevent someone from being able to stand for the Oct. 27 municipal election would be if they lost Canadian citizenship or
were no longer living in Ottawa and were no longer the spouse of someone who lives in or owns property in Ottawa. People convicted under the Criminal Code are unable to stand for the next two general elections following their conviction, Bergeron said. Thompson was less concerned about the post, saying that voters can draw their own conclusions about Ahmadzai based on what he posts online. “My personal feeling is when things come out like that ... just to let it go. The minute you talk about it, you give credence to a bunch of malarkey,” Thompson said. “In my opinion it’s one of those items that there is no validation to it,” he said. “In this day and age you can expect people to use the electronic media to spout off, but in a rural term, it’s hogwash, as far as I’m concerned.”

Let’s not stop the train
P
remier Kathleen Wynne was in town recently to help Mayor Jim Watson celebrate the halfway mark of construction on the Confederation line tunnel. She also re-affirmed the province’s commitment to funding the second phase of the light rail project, and both Wynne and Watson took time to push the federal government to make a similar pledge. Ottawa-OrlÊans MP Royal Galipeau would only go so far as saying when a plan for Phase 2 was presented, it would be considered in due course by the federal government. The push by the mayor and the premier may be political theatre – Watson is seeking re-election this fall – but the current predicament should not be ignored by voters in Ottawa. The $2.5-billion Phase 2 is scheduled to begin sometime after the initial Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Road section is completed in 2018. Moving forward with light rail, ensuring trains are running from Bayshore to OrlÊans, is of vital importance to the future of the city. As Ottawa grows, it will become
more important with each passing year for residents to be served by an efficient mass transit system. With that in mind, city council and the province must be willing to acknowledge the possibility that federal funding for the project – which would amount to around $975 million – won’t be made available. The recent attitude of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has been to steer clear of direct investment in areas it believes are of provincial responsibility. It’s difficult to say that funding a project in the capital wouldn’t be treated differently, but the city and province can’t afford to wait around for federal money to be made available. Plan B needs to be determined. Whether that means moving forward with one leg of Phase 2 or another is up to council to decide, but failing to establish an alternative, one that isn’t dependent upon federal funding, would be negligent. Ottawa needs a transit system built for the 21st century, whether the federal government wants to play along or not.

No shortage of advice for road warriors
I
n the summer many of us become Ontario road warriors. We discover new roads and rediscover old ones. On the old roads there are always changes, some for the good, some not so much. The roads themselves are often better. The Trans-Canada, Highway 17, heading north and west has some rough spots, but it is so much better than it used to be. The continual addition of passing lanes has made the driving easier and safer, not to mention less tense. It is reassuring, when stuck behind somebody going slow (meaning: at the speed limit), to know that a passing lane will open up just a couple of minutes. The knowledge makes us more patient and safer drivers. There has also been good work

Two images spring to mind. One is of a guy going 150 km/ h in pitch dark, dense fog and pouring rain who suddenly sees the sign and thinks: “Wow! I never thought of that. Better slow down. And perhaps turn my headlights on.� The other image is of the inevitable committee meeting where this slogan was adopted. The members would gather in a windowless boardroom with bottles of water and try to come up with just the right wording, one that would be easily understood, translate well and not be offensive to anyone. Possible options would be flashed in PowerPoint on a large screen, such as “Use Steering Wheel to Turn Car� or “Employ Brakes to

Mom, unplugged
D
espite my dodgy back, I took three kids camping on my own last week. I knew it would be a challenge to be camping solo with the offspring, even more so when I found out I had no cell phone coverage. At first, the idea of being completely disconnected from the world made me nervous. I was nervous for security reasons, but also jittery because I wasn’t sure what I’d do cut off from everybody for a week. But then an amazing thing happened – with one exception, I didn’t look at my phone for seven days. And it felt great. With the phone turned off, I felt a weight lift, like I was really on vacation for the first time in forever. Disconnected from newsfeeds, I wasn’t compelled to keep on top of all the details of my friends, my family and the world. It created simplicity. It also generated creativity. I had a paper notebook in which to write my thoughts, old school. At the beginning of the week, I found myself commentating on the world around me in a series of fewer than 140-character blurbs, social media style. Things like, “The raccoons are bold, but I’m bolder,” and “Just made bannock on the fire for a worthy audience,” and “Drinking Busch beer in the bush.” By the end of the week, however, I was writing, by hand, extended essays about my thoughts, my family and life, generally. Being unplugged forced me to think more deeply, offering me perspective and clarity. But the best part of being offline for the better part of the week was the improved relationship with my children. We were able to have real, in-depth conversations. When discussing their newly discovered hobby of fishing, we couldn’t fact check “fish
By Brian Turner The health benefits of fly-fishing or fishing in general have been well documented over the years, but recently experts have been able to pinpoint some of the lesser known advantages of taking up this age-old pastime. Fly-fishing provides the most improvements to the body and mind of any type of angling, from increased cardio activity to better mobility to distressing the mind, to the heart racing action of landing an elusive quarry. Tony Petrelli, owner of Green Drake Outfitters at 89 Holland Ave in central Ottawa, has been introducing area residents to better health through fly-fishing for almost 20 years. His family-run shop can handle everything a novice or veteran could need. And like any good fishing outfitter shop, there’s a dad in the store. When my two-year-old Tony and his father Vince have been partdaughter fell and scraped her ners from the start. From clothing to knee – the first time – I could gear to flies of all type, Green Drake has just hold her and bandage her it all.

at Lac Philippe” on Google in the middle of the campfire. We were forced to brainstorm and guess, hypothesize and debate possibilities. It was a rich dialogue so often lacking when we’ve got the answers at our finger tips. Without the constant interruption of a blinking or a beeping or a time check, we could remain in the moment. We told progressive stories around the campfire and wrote postcards and sang songs. The kids noticed a difference in mom, too.
But I realized on this trip that, too often, the little computer in my pocket has been acting as a barrier to the possibility of speaking to people in my geographic vicinity. Not only was I more present, I was more relaxed. Without the phone, I didn’t have to be multitasking or thinking about irrelevant things or worry about other people’s trials and tribulations. The children didn’t feel they were constantly interrupting me, as often can be the case at home when the smartphone demands my attention. We made eye contact frequently.

pelled to examine the turtle closely and take notes so we could remember details and look up the facts later. Sitting on the beach alone – with no device to connect me to other adults on social media or the phone – allowed me to connect with people in my midst. I’m a natural communicator, so given the chance to start a conversation, I often do. But I realized on this trip that, too often, the little computer in my pocket has been acting as a barrier to the possibility of speaking to people in my geographic vicinity. I came back from my week without technology feeling more refreshed than I have in years. It wasn’t long before my phone started beeping and blinking once again. Everyone wanted to know how the vacation went, had I survived? People posted thoughts on work, life and politics. The first few days were an assault on my senses. I’m not too worried. Now that I know where I can escape from technology, I’m planning to make technologyfree vacations a mandatory part of my life.
world) also provides fly tying lessons where, in a one-on-one engagement, students can quickly pick up the skills to create their own temptations for local fish or for anything farther afield. Tony notes that more and more area residents are taking advantage of our unique abundance of ponds, streams, lakes, and rivers in order to find their own retreat from hectic work and family schedules. Rather than spending small fortunes on exotic vacation spots, Tony’s clients are rediscovering the true beauty of regional waters and at the same time they are gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and how they fit in an environment to be treasured and protected. He finds it ultimately fulfilling to introduce a beginner to the sport by directing him or her to tackle local bass which are plentiful and not shy about taking a handtied fly and providing a spirited struggle before being released back into the water. And it’s not only men who are taking up the sport, women, boys, and girls alike are rewarded by a closer bond with nature in the peaceful fresh waters of our area. Of course, Green Drake outfitters have the appropriate styles and sizes for every age group. Seasoned casters frequent Green Drake as well as the experience of their staff can’t be beat or found in a big-box warehouse centre or national hardware
chain. Like golfers, repeat clients know that they can learn something from any lesson provided by Tony to improve their ‘game’ and get measureable results. And of course everyone is looking for just the right fly to land their favorite catch. Tony’s travels to fishing paradises around the globe brings a world of knowledge right to the door-steps of his Westboro shop, so anyone planning a casting cruise to the coast or down south can get all the planning help they need. Tony was the first to introduce Casting for Recovery to our region, a movement started in the UK in 2006 to aid women after breast cancer surgery. As part of a therapy programme is has been proven to improve mobility and can help to reduce tissue fluid accumulation known as lymphoedema. In addition it provides a great chance to connect with other patients in a relaxing and restorative atmosphere. Green Drake Outfitters is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and on Saturday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. On Sundays you can count on finding a ‘Gone Fishing’ sign on their door. You can reach them at 613-8281915 or check out their website at www. greendrake.com. Remember, the only thing small about Green Drake Outfitters is the mouth size on the bass you’ll soon be landing.

Lansdowne’s 18-hectare park comes alive
$
Urban park portion of site now open to the public Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - After two years of construction, the public will finally get a chance to see what Lansdowne Park looks like with its decades-old layer of asphalt peeled off. Aug. 15 officially marked the grand opening of the new “urban park” at Lansdowne – the green portion of the site’s makeover that Mayor Jim Watson has long touted as “putting the park back in Lansdowne.” But the 18-hectare site will serve as more than a park – it’s the site of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, it will have a refrigerated skating rink, a splash pad, an orchard and civic garden, event venues and even a surprise addition – a skateboard park. All those features add up to a great new space for residents of the Glebe and beyond, said Dolores MacAdam, program manager for the city’s events central and Lansdowne Park. “This is part of the neighbourhood now,” MacAdams said. “Whether there are events taking place or not, it will serve as a fantastic venue to have within your community. “I just think it’s going to be the jewel of the city,” she said. “It’s a whole new energy.” The “beacon,” a storm water management feature that

functions as a water plaza, won’t quite be done and the civic gardens aren’t planted, but much of the park, including a children’s play area, the “great lawn” and a new public square around the historic Aberdeen Pavilion will be open for people to relax or throw around a ball. The area will also be teeming with events, MacAdam said. The Aberdeen Pavilion will again become home to large corporate and commercial events, she said, including events related to the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and the One Young World Summit in 2016. The “cattle castle,” as it’s known, can hold up to 2,800 people. The restoration of the site’s second heritage structure – the Horticulture Building – has opened up the possibility of a different type of event. Winterlude will also include events at Lansdowne this year, MacAdam said. “We’ve had at least five calls inquiring about weddings,” MacAdam said, adding the requests were sight Laura Mueller/Metroland unseen because the building Threatening skies and enthusiasm marked the Aug. 15 opening of the Lansdowne urban park – an 18-hectare that will had not yet reopened. host a farmer’s market, gardens, and orchard and a children’s splash pad.

Mayor’s Report
Reflecting on SummeR 2014 By Jim Watson
Weekend O-Train shutdown planned Work on service expansion coming along well: rail office Steph Willems
“Any train will put them to the test,” said Cripps. “Once all of these are operating properly, we’ll try it with the new trains.” Work started last year on the $59million O-Train expansion project, which saw passing tracks added to two sections of the line and the purchase of six new Alstom train sets to replace the original three Bombardier trains. In addition to signal testing, training is underway for the operators of the new trains, while regulatory matters relating to the commissioning of the new units are finalized. Almost all of the heavy construction work has been completed at this point. Following this weekend, work will resume in the evenings and overnight, with the possibility of another weekend shutdown. At the current time, the city is
steph.willems@metroland.com
With the summer almost over and fall just around the corner, it’s a good time to reflect on what has been a productive few months. I visited all corners of our city this summer and was reminded once again just how big and diverse our city is. From the HOPE beach volleyball tournament at Mooney’s Bay; to festivals around Ottawa like those celebrating our Italian, Lebanese, and Indian communities; to fairs like those in Navan, Gloucester, and Carp (upcoming), and music festivals for blues, folk, chamber, and jazz; Ottawa has not been short on places to visit and things to do this summer. In this busy summer two events stand out to me. The first of which was the opening of Lansdowne Park. For me, the issue of what to do about Lansdowne is one I have been working on since I was first elected as a City Councillor in 1991. To see the fruits of this labour, as our CFL team took the field on July 18th and our Urban Park opened to the public on August 16, is very special to me. For too long this site was an eyesore in the centre of our city but now it is finally coming to life as a place that residents can be proud of and visitors will come to see. It was a long road getting to where we are today, and our work is not yet done, but seeing people excited about Lansdowne again and watching them enjoy the different elements of the site has been one of the highlights of my summer. The second event that stands out for me from summer 2014 is marking the 50% completion mark of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) tunnel. This was another project that saw many stops and starts, redesigns, and second guesses. But this council set those aside to act on a plan, with a fixed-price contract, that is seeing the centre of our city transformed and bringing the rest of our city within reach of transit expansion.
News – Buses will be ferrying passengers along the O-Train route this coming weekend as further work is performed on the tracks. The Aug. 23-24 shutdown will see OC Transpo route 107 put into place between South Keys and Bayview stations, operating on a 15-minute schedule on the Saturday and a 30minute schedule on the Sunday. This work is in addition to nighttime work already being conducted on the line, which will see service double from 15-minute intervals to eight minutes sometime this fall. Steve Cripps, director of the city’s rail implementation office, said the weekend work is related to signal and controller testing, and that two of the existing trains will be in use for that purpose.
Having the opportunity to tour the LRT tunnel, alongside Premier Kathleen Wynne and MP Royal Galipeau, was an incredible experience for me. We spend a lot of time at City Hall talking about this project because it is the biggest infrastructure project in Ottawa in decades. To be able to go down in the tunnel and walk through almost 500 metres of the excavated west portal reminded me just how much of game changer the LRT is going to be for Ottawa and its residents. And to meet and thank some of those highly skilled workers who are doing the tunneling work made the day that much better.

working on having the new trains and expanded service in effect by the end of the calendar year. An exact start date for the new service won’t be released until further testing has been done. “We don’t have an exact timeline right now,” said Cripps. “Once we do the testing this weekend and continue it with the new trains in the coming evenings and weekends … at that time we will be able to nail down the exact revenue service date.” He added that while the end-ofyear date is what’s being recognized by the rail office and OC Transpo, “hopefully (the date) will be brought forward from then.” On Aug. 11, a train partially derailed as it approached the Carleton University O-Train station, leading to the shutdown of the system for a day. No damage was reported and the cause of the incident has not been released.

Besides the new Sens RINK, Bayshore Park will see upgrades landscaping, lighting, new benches and pathways, and an expanded community house.

“We really believe we have to provide facilities like this in order to get youth active,” said Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports and Entertainment. Leeder explained how getting involved with a sport or activity at a young age will lead to a healthier body and lifestyle later on. He thanked the city and Accora Village owner Ferguslea Properties for getting on board with the project. “We couldn’t have found better partners to work on a Sens project with,” said Leeder. “I know it will be a great addition to the community.” The rink – maintained by city staff – will allow for hockey and skating during the winter months, and add basketball, ball hockey, broomball, ringette and other recreational programming during the warmer months. Accora Village, home to about 7,000 residents (and many young children), recently saw an extensive makeover and community rebranding. “We want to make sure (the kids) have a good opportunity to play, whether in the winter or summer months,” said Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, adding that naysayers were proven wrong after the Sens-funded Rink of Dreams at city hall opened in 2012. Watson lauded the “Positive and cooperative approach” that Leeder brought to the project, and thanked Ferguslea Properties president Dan Greenberg for his commitment to his commu-
Ferguslea Properties has provided $160,000 towards the park renovation and $90,000 towards the new rink. Ferguslea vice-president Steve Ryan called the Sens RINK project “a model for future partnerships like this,” adding the rink represents a “win-win for so many stakeholders in this community.”

Pickling, preserving a busy time on the farm
T
he air was heavy in the summer kitchen. Spices, boiling sugar, and sealers in a pot of hot water, filled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand. It was pickling and preserving time on the farm in Renfrew County. The swinging shelf, in the dug-out that served as our cellar, was just about bare, and what Mother was “putting down” would see us through the winter at least, and hopefully until the next
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories crop of produce was ready for picking. The summer had been good to our garden. Soft rainy days, hot sun, and cool evenings guaranteed a good crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherries from trees heavy with fruit, were all
turned into jams, jellies and preserves. The crops were so ample, that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Saturdays with her eggs, homemade butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us. My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered

too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden. As long as I was in on the action that was enough to satisfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the summer kitchen. “Putting down” was always like a miracle to me. Especially when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abundance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in another dishpan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked. Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for “putting down,” and to leave the smaller ones which would grow into a good length before you knew it. I would put the dishpan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean – not a handful at a time, but one bean after another Then they were laid out on a clean tea towel,
and patted dry. Mother fed them into big sealers, poured in the boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days – not one day, not three days, but two days. Mother said the timing was important according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter. The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout. Pickling and preserving went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going
even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away. But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork. There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fine, but we always had ample food to put on the table. Father, believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family. We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter, the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand.

News - Ryann Seiler and Sophia Villeneuve drop to their hands and knees and peer through their protective facemasks into the pitch black ahead. They shimmy forward each carrying an axe under a pretend cloud of smoke, keeping less than an armslength apart as they look for a baby they must rescue. After a few minutes in the dark, the 15 year olds emerge from the structure carrying the doll. Their instructors Marie-Aude Grandmaitre and Shannon Gobey follow close behind wearing smiles on their faces. “Rescuing the baby was fun even though I missed it a couple of times, but she was there to help me,” Seiler said, referring to Villeneuve, her training partner. Teamwork was a huge component of the skills that 24 young women between the ages of 15 and 19 developed Aug. 11 to 15 while climbing an aerial ladder that rose high in the sky, forcibly entering doorways and conducting search and rescue training at the Ottawa Fire Services’ training di-

Ottawa West resident Vanessa Cavanagh, 16, leads the way as she and Carleton Place resident Rebecca Sheedy, also 16, work together in carrying a ladder on Aug. 12 during a firefighter training program. vision building on Industrial Avenue. Watching the girls on Aug. 12 learn what it takes to do the work she now does as a volunteer firefighter brought back memories for Gobey. She was among the first group of participants to take part in Ottawa’s inaugural Camp FITT, or Female Firefighters in Training five years ago. Modelled after a similar camp in New York state, the program is designed to give young women the op-
portunity to test drive a career that typically attracts more men. Of the nearly 900 full-time suppression firefighters in Ottawa, 22 are women. And of the 450 volunteer firefighters in the Ottawa fire department, 29 are women. “We’re still around two per cent. That’s still a very low number,” said one of the program’s founders, acting Lieut. Louise Hine-Schmidt, a Britannia resident who works out of a station in Riverside South.
“The idea is just to show more young women at an age when they’re deciding what they want to do for post-secondary and for a career that this is an opportunity for them,” said Hine-Schmidt, a 15-year firefighting veteran and one of Ottawa’s first three women firefighters. “It’s not about getting more women firefighters, it’s about showing them they can if they choose.” At 19, Gobey had been hesitant to consider firefighting as a career, thinking it was a man’s job. But thanks largely to the encouragement of her father, Dennis Gobey, a now-retired Ottawa fire platoon chief she enrolled in the camp. “The first day (of the training) I knew what I wanted to do,” the Kars resident said. “Camp really opened my eyes to what firefighting truly is.” She went on to successfully complete Algonquin College’s pre-service firefighter training program, and last October she was hired as a volunteer firefighter with the North Gower Fire Department. Villeneuve and Seiler hope to follow in her footsteps, especially after the experiences they had at camp.
“It’s awesome,” said Seiler, a Stittsville resident, who was looking forward to putting out a controlled car fire during the training session. Her firefighting partner didn’t know what to expect when she arrived at the training facility. “But I really love it, and I also love the fact that you get to help people during firefighting,” said Villeneuve, who lives in Riverside South. “Rescuing the baby today, we got to experience that.” Her family is very supportive of her dream, while others expressed their doubts. “Some people think I’m not strong enough, but I’m going to prove them wrong,” she said. “I think I am.” Each girl who participates in the program often learns something invaluable about themselves, their strengths and their ability to work together and overcome challenges. “Did you know the most important thing for me in this camp is I watch these girls the first day, they’re nervous, they’re shy, they’re scared and by the end of the week their confidence has just gone through the roof?” Hine-Schmidt said. Watching the teens eagerly await their next challenge, Gobey said the camp is an ideal way to motivate a next generation of young women to find passion in something, just as she did.

Horses change lives of clients on area farm Equine program is financially self-sufficient Brier Dodge

Community - The first time Alexandre Charron-Raymond arrived at the Happy Trails Riding Stables, he didn’t even want to get out of the car. The now 26-year-old, who has an intellectual disorder and autistic behaviours, was anxious and apprehensive. Now, after just over a year of participation in the riding program for special needs children and adults at the farm, he’s done a complete 180. Alexandre’s parents said since he started riding at Happy Trails, he’s become
much happier and calmer. His participation in the program hasn’t just benefitted him, but all his family and the people who work with him. He frequently visits and spends time at his parents’ home in Rothwell Heights, but lives at a French group home near Pleasant Park. He comes weekly for two hours – twice a week in the summer when his mother, a schoolteacher, is off work. At the start, he was anxious about getting out of the car to deal with Art Mackie, who owns and runs the farm and the program. He’s made little steps – like letting go of the bouncy balls he carries ev-
erywhere in order to ride the horses, and counting brush strokes as he helps groom his horse – as the weeks have gone on. “We decided to bring him here and it completely changed him,” said his father, Bernard Raymond. “He’s proud of being able to go on a big animal like that. Art turns the little things into a big accomplishment.” Now, when Alex gets out of the car, he smiles and laughs with delight when he sees Mackie, and can balance himself while riding around the ring on his regular horse, Brandy. Mackie isn’t a social worker or specially-trained to work with people with disabilities, but Alexandre’s
mother, Lucie Charron, said he has a special spark that makes Alexandre feel at ease and trust him. “You either have it or you
The Mackies purchased the Carlsbad Springs farm in the ‘50s, and ran it as a pig farm. Eventually, Art Mackie purchased the farm from his

father and began to run public trail rides. “Ten years ago if you’d told me I’d be doing this, I’d say, ‘Yeah right,’” Mackie said. Mackie was running trail rides, but some of the land
he used was sold. While he ran riding lessons he got a call from a parent of a young woman with a disability, asking if there was any possibility Mackie could accommodate her. “After she came, I thought, ‘Man, that was the best two hours I’ve spent,’” Mackie said. He started to accommodate more youth with a variety of special needs, and eventually transitioned to exclusively work with special needs people. “At the start, I admit I had trouble. I thought I’d never be able to deal with (some of these kids),” he said. “But now, it’s no problem.” He’s taken a few courses to help him work with the special needs kids, but his best tool is the connection that parents say Mackie quickly makes with their children.

Flexibility what makes program special, owner says ability of the program have been the magic touch for Eric Yemensky, 21, said his father Gerald. They’ve been coming for at least 10 years to ride at the farm. “Eric’s needs have changed, but his love of coming here hasn’t,” Gerald said. “Art adapts to the kids’ needs, it’s very personal. This program adapts to Eric and gives him a

Gerald said. “And it’s a tragedy it doesn’t have adequate funding.” Mackie’s flexibility means allowing things like clients from Charron-Raymond’s group home to accompany him to the farm and pet the animals while he rides. He doesn’t have to follow a curriculum or set progress schedule, which has seen his clients thrive.

Merivale High School getting ready for 50th reunion Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Merivale High School will ring in its golden anniversary with a reunion on Oct. 10 to 12. Science teacher Anne Stockford, who is also a Merivale grad from the class of 1992, is organizing the reunion with fellow alum Dave Holdham, who was among the first class of students to attend the school when it first opened in 1964. Holdham lived across Viewmount Drive from the field the school would eventually move to. “It was really neat that I got to see it being built and then went to class there,� Holdham said. He and Stockford started working on the reunion two
years ago after being approached by former principal Patrick McCarthy. While their efforts have ramped up in the last six months, the pair has been attending reunions at other high schools – like Osgoode Township High School – to get a feel for what they would like to include. The weekend will kick off with a pub night to be held at the school at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 10. Former high school staff will have a chance to gather in the staff room beforehand at 4 p.m. Saturday will include a volleyball and field hockey tournament, as well as a gala dinner to be held at Tudor Hall. Sunday Oct. 12, the final day of the reunion weekend, will feature a golf tournament
at a to-be-determined location. Stockford said volunteers will also organize some activities for children on Saturday. Aside from the planned activities, there will be decade rooms with sports memorabilia, clothes, yearbooks and pictures from each year the school has been open. Holdham said so far 150 people have registered for the weekend. Organizers would like to see 1,000 come out for the pub night and 400 for the gala. “It’s a tight-knit community school,� Stockford said, adding volunteers just want to create an environment where people can reminisce and have a good time. Holdham said he has seen other reunions where the registrations all come in the last few weeks.

A Merivale High School girl’s sports team from the 1990s is seen in this archived photo. Students from multiple years will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the school on the weekend of Oct. 10-12. “That’s what we are hoping for here,� he said. “50 is a big year.� The volunteers have no budget to work and are looking to recover the costs. So far, a couple of former students that own businesses have donated goods or services, but they are
still looking. Any profits from the event will be split 50/50 between the reunion committee – to host future reunions – and to the school for supplies not covered by the board. Tickets to the pub night are $45 and the gala is $80. A tick-

Swim promotes river health, cross-border collaboration Nepean swim coach first to finish 4km race Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

The fou- kilometre swim was a challenge for the approximately 36 swimmers who took part, leaving Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer at 8 a.m. The first to finish was Nepean Masters Swim Club coach Lesley Dusevic, arriving at Lac Deschênes Sailing Club in Nepean in 58 minutes and four seconds. “It was what I call an honest swim,” said Dusevic, mo-
ments after rising out of the Ottawa River. “You are dealing with chop, you are dealing with current, and you are dealing with sighting, so it was an honest swim.” The open-water swim was different from other Ottawa River swims, like the popular Bring on the Bay event, as it took participants out to the middle of the river where you can’t see the shore, said Ruth McKlusky, an organizer of the event and manager for the Ottawa Riverkeeper, which put on the race. “There is a real psychological barrier,” she said. The Aylmer-traz swim, named for popular prisonbreak themed runs and other events, was put on by Ottawa
Riverkeeper, an organization that strives to protect and promote the health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries. The race raised more than $5,000, said McKlusky, which will go towards water quality test kits to be used by Riverkeeper volunteers. “We have this network of wonderful river watchers, and they do outreach in their community and they do water testing for us,” she said. The testing is to look for long-term trends in the health of the river. While Ottawa, Gatineau and other municipalities do their own testing, their efforts are not co-ordinated and are done at different intervals, making for conflicting reports when it comes to deciding if beaches should be open or not. That is just one of many

Lesley Dusevic, a coach with the Nepean Masters Swim Club, emerges from the Ottawa River after finishing first in the first ever Escape to/from Aylmer-traz swim on Aug. 16. problems that come up given the “crazy quilt” of varying legislation enforced on the Ottawa River, said McKlusky. The Ottawa River is more than 1,200 kilometres long, and straddles the border between Ontario and Quebec. This makes coordinating a consistent Ottawa River health strategy very difficult, but necessary, said McKlusky. Underlining the necessity for Ottawa River co-operation was one of the main messages of the event, she said, along
with promoting the need to keep the river healthy in general. It’s a message that resonated with swimmers at the race. The swim’s second place finisher, Julien Maynard from Gatineau, said he hadn’t heard about the Ottawa Riverkeeper before joining the swim, but said preserving the health of the river is important. “I think it’s a great cause because I like the river, I like to swim in it, and I like to be able to ingest a little bit of the
water without getting sick,” he said. Doug Salt from Nepean who finished the swim in 11th place said, “I think we are lucky to live in a city like this that is right on the water, and now that we can swim here and it’s not polluted as bad, I think (preserving the river) is a good thing to do.” The health of the river is better than it was 30 year ago, said McKlusky, when timber companies were still active along the river. Now she said, “Parts of the river are really clean, and parts of it are not so good.” That has to do with Ottawa’s sewer system that tends to overflow into the river after a few days of rain, as well as agricultural run-off from outside the city, she said. Events like the swim serve to get people thinking about the river and update them on its health. McKlusky said she hopes to engage more and more people who take advantage of the river, but don’t necessarily take responsibility for it.
Imagine.. the best of both worlds!

News - A group of cabinet making and furniture technician students from Algonquin College are hoping to make the Guinness Book of World Records with a pepper grinder. Rod Dagenais, 53, was one of the group of nine students tasked with crafting the record breaking kitchen utensil. In the fall, students were asked to volunteer to work on their own time to design and build a nearly five-metre, working pepper grinder to compete against the current record holder, a three-metre grinder that sits in a restaurant in Etobicoke. Rod Dagenais said the group sacrificed their Friday nights from October until August to finish the grinder. “It was really a team effort,” he said, adding the classmates that ranged in age from 18 to 53 became very close. Student craftsmen include Eric Beuman, James Brint, Andrew Carver, Liam CluffClyburne, Rodrigue Dagenais, Jihad Farhat, Cameron Larsen, Spencer Olivastri and Declan Thomas. The final design was approved by the professors and used 24 wood splints that were smoothed out with a lathe. The grinding mechanism

SAVOURING SUMMER AND LOOKING AHEAD
This is a wonderful time of year. Summer is still with us and we are savouring the sunshine and warmth. My children, like yours, are spending as much time as possible outdoors. At the same time, September is drawing closer and parents and students alike are looking ahead to the new school year. Soon our school corridors will be filled with exciting reunions and our classrooms will re-open. What should students be doing as the new school year begins? They should get to know their teachers, because these teachers, educational assistants and other school staff will play a very important role in their lives. Students should also set goals for themselves, such as listening and participating in class, doing their homework and working hard. And students should have fun, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, joining clubs and sports teams, and becoming involved in school life. We know that students learn and achieve better if they are happy and have a strong sense of well being. As parents, our role is central to our children’s educational experience. Whether a child is going to school for the first time in junior kindergarten, or about to graduate from grade 12, our involvement in their education is critical. In many schools, there is an information session in the Fall, where parents have an opportunity to meet teachers and administrators, and learn more about the curriculum. I enjoy going to these sessions with my children, and many River Zone parents have told me they attend because it gives them early insight into the new school year. As your Trustee for River Zone, I am looking forward to September too. Board meetings will resume, and Trustees will be working on current and emerging education policy issues. Equally important, I look forward to working with River Zone school councils, parents and the broader community. Together we can ensure that our public education system continues to move from great to excellent. As long as one child falls through the cracks, our work is not done. It is a pleasure to work as yourTrustee.If you have any questions or need my help, please do not hesitate to contact me at shirley.seward@ocdsb.ca or at 613-851-4716. 0821. R0012844938

News - Reverend Ross Hammond has been marching in Ottawa’s Capital Pride parade for at least 10 years. For the past three, he’s had his rural parish alongside him. Wearing his clerical collar and a rainbow stole, as many as 25 parishioners have joined him on the march downtown, which this year takes place Sunday, Aug. 24. Hammond has led the congregation at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Manotick since 2010, and every year more of his parishioners have joined him and his husband Albert to show their support. And in 2013, his parish council voted unanimously to officially march as the St. James congregation. “I said, if we make it formal, we can take the church banner with us. And the discussion was basically, well, why wouldn’t we?” Hammond said. That kind of blasé response to becoming an affirming house of

Reaching out to marginalized factions of society is a big part of his congregation’s
Christian calling – and since he’s gay, this seems to be the group on which they’ve alighted. And there’s certainly room for their support. “There are people out there who have been ostracized and shunned and damaged by their religious community,” Hammond said. “They look at a bunch of obvious Christians marching, holding signs that say ‘To love is

to be connected to God’ ... that sends a message to a person of a sexual minority that they’re not excluded.” Despite a steady rise in the number of faith groups taking part in Pride, Hammond said there are still people out there who don’t realize religious groups can be just as affirming and welcoming as other organizations. “As the church begins to march, it’s not a cheer you get for the gyrating bodies, but there is a distinct cheer for us. There are enough people on the side who are surprised,” Hammond said. “And every year, at least one of our group will have someone from the sidelines make their way into the parade to say thank you.” His congregation is supportive overall, but Hammond recognizes he’ll never have 100 per cent unanimity on the issue – and that’s perfectly fine. “One person said to me, ‘I’m very fond of you and Albert, but my concern is that by supporting the parade as an organization we are supporting everything that goes with that parade.’ And that was a legitimate concern,” Hammond said. He wants everyone in his congregation to feel comfortable talking out the issue, and their concerns about how the church supports the LGBT community. “We want everybody, including the person who said the parade is a bad idea, to feel like our church is a safe place.” Every year, there are more affirming churches and places of worship coming on board. The United Church of Canada seems to be leading the way on this, having developed a bureaucratic process to become an officially affirming congregation. Affirm United requires an educational process, according to its website, that asks its churches to “reflect on what it means to be inclusive,” create an action plan, commit to the national affirmation program and implement an inclusive marriage policy. The process concludes with a celebration service to officially declare the church a welcoming place for all.

Rohini Bhalla, president of One World Dialogue, said the partnership was named a finalist in last year’s Tourism Ottawa awards. “There’s something really poignant in talking about peace in a building that was designed to hold the country’s gold reserves in the case of a nuclear attack,” she said, adding the exhibit will run until the end of January 2015.

News - Local artists and youth will come together to talk about peace at Canada’s cold war museum on Sept. 20. For the fourth year, an organization called One World Dialogue, which seeks to discuss peace through artists and interpretative means, will hold an art exhibit. The organization has partnered with the Diefenbunker and will showcase the work of six artists and local children in the Bank of Canada vault. This year’s theme is break-
Centre and Minwaashin Lodge and developmentally delayed kids from the YWYMCA. “We wanted to show different perspectives,” she said. Woods said her experience with the kids in Manotick was interesting because the kids took gave it a lot of thought and had an interesting perspective on the topic. “Parents often think their kids won’t have anything to say about peace, but they often have a lot of input,” Bhalla said, adding the school’s character education curriculum that talks about respect and bullying ties in well with the peace theme. The exhibit will open with a vernissage and performance on Sept. 20 at 2 p.m.
As part of her work, she went to Manotick Public School to help a Grade 4/5 class work on a one-by-twometre panel, depicting the fall of the wall, and working on the breaking barriers theme. Woods’ four artworks for the show are entitled Courage, Perseverance, Acceptance and Harmony. Bhalla said One World intentionally gave the artists a lot of leeway with the theme to foster the conversation about peace. Aside from the students at Manotick Public School, Bhalla said organizers also worked with children at Odawa Native Friendship

Chiari Awareness walk set to hit the capital West Ottawa woman battles with diagnosis of rare disorder Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Jennifer Mathewson’s life changed forever when she was diagnosed with Chiari malformation. In 2010, Mathewson had a job in travel and tourism that she loved and was feeling good – except for pressure headaches and mild dizziness – when she suddenly had an attack at work. “I was looking at my computer monitor and it looked like it flipped on the side and then it came back up. I knew then something was seriously wrong,” the Merivale High School grad said. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Chiari malformations are structural
defects in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance. Normally the cerebellum and parts of the brain stem sit in an indented space at the lower rear of the skull, above the foramen magnum – a funnel-like opening to the spinal canal. When part of the cerebellum is located below the foramen magnum, it is called a Chiari malformation. Mathewson said she’s always had symptoms but didn’t know that’s what she was dealing with. Most people that suffer from Chiari aren’t hit with the severity of their symptoms until their late 20s or early 30s likely because the malformation causes the brain to herniate near the spinal cord.

Get your home http:// www.4ottawahomes.com/ index.php ready for school. Have a “landing pad” for shoes, backpack, etc. after school, which also becomes a “launching pad” for busy mornings. A dedicated space with hooks and shelves can minimize the mess, and avoid “I can’t find my shoes!” in the morning. Have a spot just for school papers and permission slips. In the kitchen, have an area for storing lunch supplies and prepping lunches. Another good space to have is a dedicated homework area, that is quiet, well lit, and has supplies close at hand. Stock up on school supplies
before school starts, but don’t forget to keep track of them and replace as needed. Keep all school and office supplies in one handy location. Put labels on all your kid’s belongings like shoes, backpacks, pencil cases, etc. Organizing kids clothing means taking an inventory of what they have that still fits, and making a list of what needs replacing. Stick to a basic colour scheme for each child so outfits can be easily co-ordinated. Organize younger kid’s clothes a week at a time and set them in piles on a shelf or drawer. In the morning it’s grab and go. Routines are essential for busy families. Start good habits now and try to keep them going. Sunday night
prepare for the week ahead, checking the calendar. Prepare as much as possible each night for the morning, including laying out clothes and starting lunches. Have clear morning and after school routines for each child, including emptying out their backpacks before hanging them up.

Grand Master Fiddling coming to college Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Dozens of fiddlers will descend on the capital in the week of Aug. 17 to Aug. 23 for the Grand Master Fiddling Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual competition and camp. The camp, which has eight fiddling instructors made up of former national champions, ran from Aug. 17 to 21 at the RCMP Long Island Camp in Manotick. The group also in-
cluded two piano instructors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We run the camp every year and accept students from every level,â&#x20AC;? Ron Bourque, the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president said. Following the camp, there will be the competition, which kicks off with a gala at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau on Aug. 22. The gala will feature a performance by four-time grand master champion Louis Schryer, as well as Patti Lamoureux, AndrĂŠ Brunet and Mark Sullivan.
The competition will be held the following day at the Algonquin College Commons Theatre. Bourque said the organization is also celebrating a 25th anniversary. The mandate is to promote fiddling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ottawa Valley is a hotbed of fiddling,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate to host the competition in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. The competition has been held in Ottawa every year, ex-
cept for last year, when it was held in Saskatoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had 500 or 600 people attend,â&#x20AC;? Bourque said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect the same this year.â&#x20AC;? Top prize is $3,000 and there are smaller, monetary prizes for the first four spots. The competition will also feature a junior showcase at the college on Aug. 23 from 7 to 10:30 p.m. For more information, visit canadiangrandmasters.ca

ÉCOLES DE CHOIX
Lifestyle - Every day, children eat the contents of their lunch boxes then throw containers, packaging, and nonrecyclable bags into the garbage. Collectively, that means millions of tonnes of garbage are generated unnecessarily — just one child eating prepackaged food in individual portions produces 13.5 kg of garbage per year. It is definitely time to review how we prepare lunches so we can pack garbage-free lunch boxes. Make it your first lesson of this new school year. Keyword: reusable How to succeed? Simple! Re-use. Start by purchasing large format containers of yo gurt and put an individual portion in a small, reusable container. Do the same thing for juice. Forget about individually wrapped cookies; purchase them in large quantities or bake some at home, and store
Prepackaged food in individual portions creates a huge amount of waste for landfills. them in reusable containers. Reusable containers are also great for sandwiches and raw vegetables. Fruits come in their very own natural packaging – the peel! And if you need utensils to eat your lunch, be sure to bring some real ones, not plastic, from home. At the end of the lunch hour, use
one of the empty containers for collecting all compostable food so that you can put it in the compost bin once you’re back home.All these actions are not only good for the environment but they can also save you lots of money. Why? Because the cost of packaged foods is higher than that of

Buying a backpack in five lessons Lifestyle - A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backpack is a trusty companion; kids are rarely seen without them. HowÂever, a poorly adjusted backpack, or one that is too heavy, can cause back, shoulder, and neck pain. One teenager out of two suffers from back pain at least once a month, and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing on their backs may very well be the cause. That is a good reason to learn these five lessons about backpacks. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop with your children. Having the child with you is the only way to choose a backpack that will be the right size. The backpack should not be higher than the shoulders or wider than the back, and should reach down to just above the hips. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose the right material. A light synthetic canvas is
Smart tips for cool teens
better than a heavier cotton or leather. An empty bag should weigh no more than 500 g for a child and 1 kg for a teenager.
Lifestyle - Teenaged girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, increasingly, boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are intensely conscious of their appearance. They want to wear different clothes every day, and expensive labels are usually preferred. But parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wallets have their limits, and teenagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; even more so. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dollars and pick up some sensible spending habits.
â&#x20AC;˘ Choose a neutral colour. A neutral bag will better stand up to changing fashions. Expensive designer brand bags could also be a poor choice; kids grow up fast! â&#x20AC;˘ Examine the shoulder straps. These should be at least 5 cm wide and be adÂjustable and padded. A waist strap and a chest strap allow for better weight distribution. â&#x20AC;˘ Educate your children. Teach kids to only bring home what is strictly necessary in order to do their homework. The weight of the filled bag shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed 10 percent of their body weight.
One teenager in two feels back pain at least once a month. Backpacks may be the cause.
â&#x20AC;˘ Exchange clothes. At the beginning of a new school year, young people are sometimes fed up with clothes that are neither worn out nor outdated. This is when parents can suggest exchanging clothes with friends, on the principle that what is old for them is new
for others. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch out for sales. It is useful to teach young people to watch out for sales. Taking advantage of substantial discounts at the end of a season will let them buy items at lower prices. â&#x20AC;˘ Visit thrift stores. Help teens discover the fun and good sense of these shops, where original, quality clothing can be found for almost nothing. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose sustainable â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentialsâ&#x20AC;?. Help children understand that it is better to pay a little more for some timeless items rather than having to replace them year after year. This is as much a financial consideration as an environmental one. â&#x20AC;˘ Beware of expensive labels. Allow teens to include a few flashy labels in their wardrobe, but no more than that. Help them understand that the people they are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what they say and what they do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is much more important than what they wear.

‘My head feels like a bowling ball on a tooth pick’ Continued from page 31
“I always had pressure headaches in high school,” Mathewson said. “And I didn’t know it wasn’t supposed to be painful to sneeze.” But it wasn’t until that day at work, when she began to seriously investigate her ail-
ments. “My work sent me to the clinic and they took a bunch of tests and put me on an antibiotic for an inner ear infection,” Mathewson said. Shortly after Mathewson fell walking to catch a bus and hit the ground after a wave of dizziness. A little R0012846705
while later she was in a meeting talking to government officials about travel regulations when she suddenly forgot what she was talking about. She went back to the Appletree Medical Group clinic and asked the doctor if he thought it could be multiple sclerosis. “He didn’t think so, but gave me a referral for a neurologist,” Mathewson said. But five weeks later she still had no phone call. “I used to be able to walk all over the place, but then I couldn’t walk for five minutes holding a loaf of bread,” she said. In the meantime, she was visiting other doctors and an ear, nose and throat specialist. “It got to the point where people started to say, ‘Maybe this is all in your head,’ because all the tests were coming back negative,” Mathewson said. Mathewson added she was also receiving amateur diagnosis of stress from friends and family, but she felt fine. “I was thriving, I had a
good career, I was busy, but it’s not stressful when you’re doing something you love,” she said. By chance Mathewson met Dr. Hyman Rabinovitch, who was treating her father after he had a stroke. “I gave him my laundry list of symptoms and he scheduled an MRI,” Mathewson said. After that test, came the diagnosis of Chiari. The doctor scheduled a different scan that looks at the whole spinal column to check the flow of fluid. After that Mathewson was diagnosed with a condition called Syringomyelia – which is basically a cyst that is formed in the spinal cord that elongates over time and can impair function. That meant Mathewson was headed towards a wheelchair if she didn’t have surgery in the next three months. The surgery, which was completed in November 2010, involved removing a piece of Mathewson’s cranium, then removing a patch of dura – the membrane around the brain
– removed, then something artificial to replace what was removed was added to hold up the skull, then part of the C1 vertebrae removed. Recovery meant using a walker and getting used to head movements again. “My head feels like a bowling ball on a tooth pick,” Mathewson said. While she was recovering, Mathewson said the pain was unbearable. “Like a 15 out of 10,” she said. Normal recovery takes three to six months, but a year later the pain was still there. Mathewson was sent to a geneticist, who diagnosed her with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The disease is a connective tissues disorders where the body doesn’t produce enough collagen. The combination of all three is debilitating. Mathewson is no longer able to work and has been on several different cocktails of pain medications. She keeps medical textbooks in her house to explain
her various conditions to family and friends. Her journey towards diagnosis and treatment has led to a blog and the formation of the Canadian Chiari Association. It’s a kind of peer support group that helps people suffering from the disease from information and navigate the healthcare system. “We lose a lot of people because the pain is just too much, or they’re tired of being told it’s all in their head,” Mathewson said, recounting stories of driving to Kingston to offer a shoulder for a fellow Chiari sufferer. The group, which just gained registered charity status in April, will host a walk to raise awareness on Sept. 7. Simultaneuous walks will take place across the country. In Ottawa, the mayor will present a proclamation declaring it Chiari Awareness Day at 9 a.m. City hall will be lit purple – the honorary colour of awareness – and walkers will raise money in the form of pledges for patient support services and awareness. For more information, visit www.chiari.ca or the Chiari Across Canada page on Facebook.
Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000
from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

St. Laurent Complex exhibit shows off fall colours Pieces featuring landscapes and beauty of nature on display Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Arts - As summer weather begins to fade, one east-end art exhibit looks to heat up passions for art. The Autumn Mix art exhibition opened on Aug. 15 in the hallway of the St. Laurent Complex, featuring four Ottawa-area artists: Nohad Selman, Lynne McHardy, Leslie Lambert, and Elisabeth Baechlin. The event showcases natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty through land-
scape portraits in a mix of mediums. The exhibition is organized by Arteast, a not-for-profit visual arts organization serving east-end artists. Arteast member Beata Jakubek coordinates the exhibits held at the St. Laurent Complex. She said each artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will occupy a large space along the hallway and will be available for public viewing until Sept. 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only four artists can show their work at a time,â&#x20AC;? Jakubek
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Artists who are ready to show their work contact us and we coordinate it.â&#x20AC;? The community centre is a popular spot for the organization, Jakubek added, saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-used as an exhibition spot as well as a place for artists to meet up and socialize or paint. The organization has coordinated with the complex to host exhibitions over the years, every time hanging the art in the hallway at the turn of every season.
Each new exhibition allows for up to four artists to show their work at a time. According to Jakubek, Arteast has more than 200 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the largest organizations in east Ottawa with a range of artists, everyone from professional to artists just starting out,â&#x20AC;? she said. Membership in Arteast is open to artists, both amateur and professional, and all who enjoy and want to participate in the visual arts. More information about the organization is available at arteastottawa.com.

Quartier Vanier hosting global event BIA to run breakfast as part of International Downtown Association conference Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
R0012846679
News - Vanier is preparing to play host to hundreds of visitors during this year’s International Downtown Association conference. Quartier Vanier will host Pancakes in the Park in Riverain Park at 8 a.m. on Sept. 5 as a special portion of the IDA 60th Anniversary Conference and Tradeshow. The business improvement area is working in collaboration with the Eastern Maple Syrup Producers Association on the event. Quartier Vanier’s executive director Suzanne Valiquet said the organization is expecting more than 500 people to attend. The event will also host one of the two Master Talks taking place during the conference. “Pancakes in the Park allows us an opportunity to showcase
our area, our culture and the beauty and green spaces,” Valiquet said. She said the BIA picked the park located on the banks of the Rideau River because it shows off Vanier at its best. “Riverain Park has it all. It’s within the commercial zone, has beautiful residential areas, office towers and businesses,” she said. “(It’s) a wonderful recreational centre for everyone, young and old to enjoy.” Valiquet added Vanier is on the upswing for renewal and rebirth and the BIA is excited at the opportunity to showcase the neighbourhood during the conference. The annual conference chooses a different host city each year. Last year it was held in New York. Quartier Vanier is part of the host committee and helped design this year’s logo and the theme, IntenCity.
MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND
Riverain Park has been picked by Quartier Vanier to host a breakfast for the International Downtown Association conference on Sept. 5. This year’s show will focus on the intensification of downtowns and districts worldwide and how downtown leaders and place managers are working on the challenge. During the three-day conference there will be a number of tours of some of the city’s downtown neighbourhoods, workshops and speeches from
urban planning professionals and city managers, including Ottawa deputy city manager Nancy Schepers. Quartier Vanier has been a member of the International Downtown Association for a long time and Valiquet said that participating in the conferences is the best way to learn the best practices from other businesses improvement areas around the world. Many of Ottawa’s business improvement areas will be participating in the conference, along with other attendees from across Canada, the United States, Europe and South Africa. In an effort to show off as much of Vanier as possible, the BIA has put out a request for residents and business owners to help during the event. According to Valiquet, the BIA is looking for at least 60 volunteers to help during the day with everything from bus tour guides to greeters. Volunteers can sign up online downtownrideau.com/ida-intencity/ or by contacting the Valiquet at the BIA, 613-745-0040.

City needs to crack down on theft of water: OTAG â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Those caught stealing water are going to get hosedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: Coun. Rick Chiarelli Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Kevin MacDonald said it was the conspiracy theorist in him that had him taking photos of two tanker trucks taking water from a hydrant on Knoxdale Road earlier this month. MacDonald had a hunch that some of the companies taking water without paying for it. Turns out he was right. After contacting Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, MacDonald found that only one of the two companies he witnessed filling up actually reported the water they took from the hydrant. There are a total of 19,562 hydrants in Ottawa, according to a spokesperson with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media department. Of those, 32 are flusher hydrants.
Flusher hydrants are used by select contractors for street sweeping, filling pools, landscaping and other, related services. According to the city, a contractor can purchase a permit for the flusher hydrant program for $248 for the season. A permit is required for each truck, tank or unit taking water. Permit holders have to report all water usage within 24 hours. They are billed for consumption at a rate of $1.06 per cubic meter (1,000 litres) and an additional 15 per cent surcharge. After the tip from MacDonald, Egli said he went out and investigated the same hydrant. The conclusion he reached was the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two contractors took water from the hydrant and only one reported their usage to the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scientific by any means, but we both found about 50 per cent compli-
ance,â&#x20AC;? Egli said. MacDonald then approached Agnes Warda, the chair of the Knoxdale-Merivale Community Associations. Warda, with the support of the wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many community associations, spearheaded the
decided that a report to the fraud and waste hotline would work better than asking for an investigation through the subcommittee. The report would speed up the process, because council votes annually on a work plan for the auditor general.
I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how councillors can justify rate increases for water when they know businesses are out there stealing it. KEVIN MACDONALD
push for an audit of the water loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems unfair that businesses can steal water while rates continue to go up for homeowners,â&#x20AC;? Warda said, adding the KMCA wrote a letter to the auditor general, pushing for an audit. College Ward councillor and chair of the audit subcommittee, Rick Chiarelli, said he met with the auditor general and it was ultimately
â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we went through the committee process we would likely have to wait until after the next election for an investigation to be done,â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said, adding the auditor general will likely co-ordinate the investigation with the bylaw department and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water department. MacDonald said the city needs to look at better solutions than simple bylaw enforcement.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how councillors can justify rate increases for water when they know businesses are out there stealing it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contractors get a discounted rate for the water they use, often because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not treated to the same extent that water out of our taps is and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delivered to the business,â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said, adding he would advocate a costeffective solution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see us spend $300,000 on a problem that means we are only losing $20,000 in revenue,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding the city has looked at non-revenue water loss in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if we can get better enforcement we can have close to 100 per cent compliance.â&#x20AC;? According to numbers from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water department, in 2013, 15 cases were escalated to bylaw and 14 warning letters were issued to the offending companies.

Rising soccer star heads to Real Madrid training camp Ottawa teen scouted at New Jersey game emma.jackson@metroland.com
Sports Every soccer player worth his cleats dreams of one day playing in the World Cup. Greely teen Haydn Bechthold is closer to realizing that dream as he spends eight days at the Real Madrid training facility in Spain this week, learning with some of the top youth players in the world. The 16-year-old Ottawa Fury Academy forward was scouted for the prestigious spot last month, at a New Jersey game in the SuperY League, of which his Fury team is a part. Fury lost, but Bechthold played well. After the game, a man he didn’t know shook his hand and complimented his ability on the field. Bechthold thought nothing of it. The next week, his coach, Christian Hoefler, told him the man was Luis Mendoza, director of coaching for the Real Madrid Select Program. Mendoza had personally invited
Bechthold to join about 35 other elite youth players in Spain between Aug. 16 and 24. “I was sleeping on the bus, and I thought, ‘was I dreaming that?’” Bechthold said. “You never really think you’re going to go to Madrid.” The blonde-haired teen left on Saturday, Aug. 16 to join his peers from US, Mexico and Brazil in Spain. He is the only Canadian in the group. The group will follow an intense schedule of advanced technical and tactical training, on-field problem solving, performance evaluations and pre-season preparation. They’ll also play two matches: one against the Real Madrid Academy team, and another against the Rayo Vallecano youth academy. Possibly the best part is the chance to watch matches between Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid - meaning they’ll see football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in action. That alone is a dream come true for the teen, who watched nearly every

Bechthold said being headhunted for this opportunity left him a bit gobsmacked while he rushed to get to Madrid with less than a week’s notice.
PET OF THE WEEK
Pet Adoptions Jake (A165395) the easy-going tabby is looking for a home to call his very own. This sweet guy gets along with dogs and cats who share his laid back attitude. Jake is full of personality and likes to spend his days napping and playing with his favourite catnip toys. He would love to curl up at the foot of your bed after a long day. Jake has a sensitive tummy but his special needs don’t define him. He is looking for an owner who will look past the “special needs” label and see him for the great companion he will be! For more information on Jake and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Looking for the right canine friend for your family? That perfect match may be right under your nose…you just didn’t know what you were looking for! The Ottawa Humane Society knows you can’t judge a book by its cover. Sadly, many of the wonderful dogs available for adoption at the OHS are often
the Italia SC. Those skills have proven undeniably hereditary, as they have carried on to both of Bechthold’s sisters, as well: his oldest sister has left for Converse College in South Carolina to play varsity soccer on a scholarship, and his younger sister plays for the Ottawa Fury FC Ontario Player Development League. Bechthold said his dream is to play professionally, just like his grandfather – and, at this point, he doesn’t much care where. “Any team that pays me, I’ll play,” he laughed. He said he would prefer Europe; England or Germany, if they’ll take him. “I want to be like (my grandfather),” Bechthold said. “I want to play professionally to say there were two in the family.” He’s well on his way to making good on that dream; coaches and scouts from around the world are expected to look in on the training program while he’s there. “I just want to be seen and say I played in Madrid against the best kids,” he said.

“It feels like (Mendoza) made a dream team, and it’s weird to say I made it,” he said. “I was pretty happy.” Ottawa Fury coach Christian Hoefler said he’s not surprised his student was offered this opportunity. “He’s extremely versatile and extremely dynamic. He’s one who plays very simple and quick,” said Hoefler, who has been coaching the teen for about a year. “I wasn’t shocked (when Mendoza chose him). I know he has the ability and I needed to get him exposed.” Of course, one look at Bechthold’s heritage tells you everything you need to know about his potential for greatness. His grandfather was Robert Kelly, one of the best soccer players in Canada in the 1950s and early 1960s. Kelly captained the Canadian All-Stars and the Ontario All-Stars against teams from across the globe, including Mexico, Leningrad and Bermuda. After playing with Ulster United SC in Toronto, he made history when he was traded for $1,500 to play for

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
How do you know how others will react to your requests if you never drum up the courage to ask, Cancer? Let your feelings be known this week and take a risk.
Obligations at home could temporarily stall work plans, Capricorn. Fortunately, you have understanding bosses who are willing to give you the time you need.
