sino that could compete with Lac-Leamy in Gatineau and repatriate gambling revenue lost to Quebec. Last week, the finance and economic development committee he chairs approved a very different vision: the same number of slot machines that are already in place at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, plus the addition of 21 gaming tables council had previously approved as a pilot project. “I don’t think this has been a particularly smooth process and I’ll take the blame for that,” Watson said in a rare moment of candor after the Aug. 26 vote. A lack of clarity from the province probably didn’t help, Watson said, “but at the end of the day, I’ll wear it,” he said. “This process has not been our council or the OLG’s finest hour.”

News - If he could do it differently, Mayor Jim Watson says he would have worked harder to protect slots at the raceway from the start while still securing a secondary casino site in Ottawa. “We should have specifically asked for preferential consideration as part of the condition to have a satellite (gaming facility) at (Rideau Carleton Raceway),” Watson said. “I think if we had gotten that up front, a lot of this debate would have been moot.” Last year, the mayor was very vocal about his vision for an urban or downtown ca-

News - Geese have been a longtime problem at the Petrie Island beach. More specifically, the byproduct: goose poop. According to Steve Wambolt, who has been hired to clear the birds from the area six days a week, a goose can produce up to 1.5 kilograms of feces a day. Besides being generally unpleasant, all that waste can carry e.coli which can contaminate the water and make it unsafe for swimming. This year, a new technology is being used to try and deter the geese from coming to the Petrie Island beach. A remote control hexacopter – similar to a helicopter – is flying near the geese while making noises similar to predators geese face. Wambolt comes to Petrie Island six days a week, as early as 4 a.m., to fly the hexacopter at the geese. The aircraft is about the size of a medium pizza. He comes back later in the day to fly it again at any more geese or sea gulls. Originally, Wambolt had a totally different idea for his hexacopter when he approached his city councillor, Bob Monette, about it. With attached cameras, he was in-

terested in providing aerial photography for city projects. Instead, he was asked how low the remote controlled, battery-operated copters could fly. “I can’t believe it, this guy goes, ‘How low can it fly?’” Wambolt said. “It’s just ridiculous to chase a goose with an aircraft.” But he was able to get the proper permits from Transport Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Service to enter into a $30,000 contract with the city. The contract started in late July and will run until late October. Wambolt tried out the method at local golf courses to make sure that it would get the geese to go away. “Every day there are some geese, but Steven is here around 4:30 in the morning to clear them out,” Monette said. “We were only closed one day this year after he started.” Monette said he hopes the geese will eventually stop coming to the area. This is a different method than others that have been tried – such as dogs who chase the geese – because it challenges the geese while airborne. Monette added that the program may expand to other city beaches next year. Petrie Island beach lifeguards are off-duty for the season, but people are still able to come and swim independently, he said.

Hintonburg crafts a stance on 1040 Somerset proposal steph.willems@metroland.com
TICO#50007364
News - Consensus building on a proposed development turned into more of a visioning exercise for the Hintonburg Community Association on Aug. 26. Association membership and concerned residents gathered in order to craft an official stance on Claridge Homes’ 39-storey mixed-use condo proposal for 1040 Somerset St., which would see 338 homes and many vehicles added to the area if built. A community meeting held earlier in the month with the developer’s consultants and city staff led to mixed reactions, leading the association to consult the neighbourhood further before deciding how to respond. Many issues surround the proposal, especially given the site’s unusual location -- perched on the edge of the community beside the O-Train tracks and adjacent to the Somerset Street bridge. Across the train tracks, the recently-approved Bayview community design plan has allowed for the future construction of 30-storey buildings near the rail line (where the City Centre building is now). While the site is designed as a traditional main street, meaning building heights of four to six storeys, it is zoned for mixed-use development, meaning the property is appealing for taller heights under the city’s intensification policy. Claridge is using this, the site’s proximity to rapid transit, and the fact a 23-storey building was approved, but not yet built, on the adjacent lot as a rationale for the
proposal’s density. Simone Powell, like many others at the meeting, is a close neighbour of the site. She expressed frustration over what she saw as the inappropriateness of the proposal, and the fact there was no design plan in place to guide the future development of the site. “The process is really flawed – we’re having to deal with each (proposal) in isolation,” said Powell, referencing the three tall towers approved on Parkdale Avenue and her desire for more certainty when it came to intensification within a community. “I would like to see more affordable and rental housing. With this, it (caters) to middle-to-higher incomes.” Association board member Linda Hoad reiterated a previous statement, saying that if the developer wanted to bring in a mixed-use development, “give us mixed uses!” The proposal currently shows two ground-floor retail units. Like Powell, Hoad was concerned not just about a lack of new affordable housing, but the removal of old affordable units when a site is bought
sensus among community members about what exactly that would be. While one resident said the site was a prominent one - a “gateway to Hintonburg” - that should command a “signature building,” others were less enthusiastic about lofty architecture. A city staff report on the project is pending, and the association would like to see it before making anything official, though president Jeff Leiper said the accumulated response showed a desire for a change. “We’re not seeking consensus of a number (of storeys) - we’ve heard support for a high-rise, and support for a mid-rise,” he said. “What I’ve heard is that a building of 30 storeys, which I’d originally thought might be acceptable, won’t enjoy much support. I think we have to wait for the moment, see what planning staff says and how Claridge responds … but we have seen that anything over 23 storeys would be contentious.” Another community meeting, this one organized by Hobbs, is slated for Sept. 9.
STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND
Currently occupied by a one-storey industrial building, 1040 Somerset has loftier ambitions. The Hintonburg community is finalizing their stance on the proposed 39-storey development. area, which has seen many high-density developments approved in recent years, but still has no options for local groceries. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs came out against the proposal in its current form following the previous meeting, but didn’t state what she saw as an appropriate height and design. Certainly, there was little con-
and cleared of its dwellings in anticipation a condo build -- only to linger empty for years in some cases. One resident questioned whether local infrastructure and basic services, or lack thereof when it comes to things like groceries, could meet the needs of an influx of residents in that specific area. This situation is shared with the Carling-Preston avenues

Upcoming Tastes of Wellington West more than just food: BIA steph.willems@metroland.com
Community – The many businesses and services available along the Wellington Street West strip will be on full display on Sept. 14, as the annual Tastes of Wellington West returns for its seventh year.
Coupled with live music, food, fashion, a car show and entertainment, it makes for a busy day and busy streetscape, said BIA executive director Denise Mercier. “It’s one-stop shopping,” said Mercier. “There are many different categories (of businesses) along Wellington West and I don’t think everyone
Organized by the Wellington West Business Improvement Area, the event aims to encourage residents from across Ottawa to discover what the area’s businesses have to offer. Shop owners will be doing their part by spilling the contents of their establishments out onto the sidewalk for passers-by to browse through.

realizes it.” Far from just eateries and boutique shops, the strip (located between Parkdale Avenue and Island Park Drive), boasts such services as garages, medical facilities, sports and music stores, real estate, and printing and marketing businesses. As part of the day-long event, several businesses plan to set up children’s entertainment areas, and a popup playground is expected. Food from Wellington West eateries and caterers will be offered up as sidewalk samplers, while a fashion show will see models decked out in the latest styles mingle with pedestrians, making the

sidewalk their catwalk. While Mercier only became executive director earlier this year, she did attend previous events as a patron and has seen attendance grow.” “The sidewalks are full,” she said. “It gets bigger year over year.” Because more ground can be covered with a bike (and parking more easily found), Right Bike will be renting out its purple two-wheelers. This year’s partner charity will be Citizen Advocacy, an agency that puts people with pressing needs in contact with those who can help.

Community gets heads-up for towers at Parkdale and Scott Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Richcraft Homes is proposing two tall towers for the southwest corner of the intersection of Parkdale Avenue and Scott Street. Hintonburg Community Association president Jeff Leiper made the admission at an unrelated Aug. 26 meeting, saying the developer had notified the association of its in-
tention to seek a zoning bylaw amendment for the properties. The proposal, which hadn’t appeared on the city’s development application page as of press time, contains 32- and 28-storey mixed-use towers, totaling 499 residential units. Parking for 450 vehicles and 280 bicycles is included in the proposal. A call placed to Richcraft requesting comment on the proposal was not returned as
of this newspaper’s deadline. According to Leiper, the tallest tower would be on the north side of the site, fronting Scott Street, “with retail and office space on the ground floor,” while the south tower would contain a “retail food store”. Leiper couldn’t elaborate on the nature (or size) of the store. Throughout the years, a top complaint of Hintonburg and
Appeal lies in ‘tangibility’ of being able to measure results Continued from page 1
The very hands-on nature of shoreline cleanups and the ability to admire the results after a long day of grungy work is a big part of the appeal, said WWF conservation science director Steven Price. “It’s the tangibility of it,” said Price. “It might not be the most pressing environmental problem, but it is the most actionable. It comes down to a personal responsibility thing, and it is an eye-opener. People always come back shocked at what they removed, and the total weight of the trash collected.” Besides picking up a lead sponsor in the form of Loblaw Companies Ltd., the initiative garners its largest number of supporters from local conservation groups that can easily organize cleanup groups, guided by the online protocols and advice offered by the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Registration is accomplished through shorelinecleanup.ca, and necessary checklists can be printed directly off the site. Individual cleanups often hold contests such as “weird-
Mechanicsville residents has been a lack of a grocery store in the area. The parcels of land in question – 250 and 252 Parkdale - have been the subject of a demolition control proposal since March of this year, intended to create a sales centre for a Richcraft condo project located further north on Parkdale. That application is current-
ly listed as on hold. The Parkdale-Scott intersection has become increasingly notorious due to high traffic volumes and has been a contentious subject in planning and development talks. In the past year, three tall towers have been approved on Parkdale north of Scott, which caused planners at an earlier meeting to admit the intersection will fail at peak periods
once the towers are built. The addition of more proposed high-density residential and retail space in this location will no doubt add fuel to the community’s concerns. Leiper said that after the development application is posted online by the city, the community can expect a meeting between the developer, the community, and its local councillor.
Public Meetings All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for e-mail alerts or visit Public Meetings and Notices on ottawa.ca, or call 3-1-1.

The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup will be coming to the Ottawa River on Sept. 21, with a kickoff event to take place in the shadow of Parliament Hill. est object found,” the results of which can lead to prizes and photos posted on the cleanup’s website. While objects like plastic bags and six-pack rings are known dangers to wildlife hundreds of kilometres from where they were discarded, unlikely items often turn up. “Christmas trees with the lights still on it, a kitchen sink, even a bathtub,” Price said, naming off things discovered during cleanups. “It’s sad when you see a big appliance on a shoreline. We
have civic recycling programs that will take these.

Goose patrol not worth cost
N
o one likes stepping in poop. From the canine variety to the stuff left behind by the occasional horse, it’s something we’ve tried as a society to banish from our cities. But sometimes these efforts go too far, especially when it costs $30,000, which is what the city is paying a man with a remote-control helicopter to scare off the geese littering the Petrie Island beaches with poop. It’s understandable for the city to attempt to keep its beaches clean. The goose poop at Petrie Island typically forces the closure of the beach a few times a year. Birds have also been a problem in the past at the other beaches too. But $30,000? For a four-month contract to scare away animals that are simply doing what birds do? It’s one thing to take extreme measures in order to protect people from harm. If bears were roaming the streets, $30,000 to keep them away might seem reasonable. Paying that sum to an individual to work six days a week flying what amounts to a toy for big boys around scaring off the geese – and those pesky seagulls, too – is simply excessive. There’s also no guarantee the geese won’t come back. If the flocks return, do we then just ante up once more next summer and watch as the new beach
patrol becomes a familiar facet of urban living? There are other measures available, ones that have been used with varying degrees of success. Britannia Park has seen a transparent net installed above the beach and swimming area to ward off seagulls in the past. It’s unlikely this cost quite as much, it is reusable and works 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If having someone head out to the beach to scare off the birds is what’s needed, the city has more than enough workers on the payroll who could head over with a gas-powered leaf blower a couple of times per day to spook the geese. All of this avoids taking any consideration of whether the geese should be scared off in the first place. Wild animals share our city with us. Every once in a while, a moose will run down a suburban street or a pedestrian will be cornered by an ornery turkey, but neither of these problems warranted a five-figure solution. There are plenty of other sources of E. coli, too. Storm runoff from sewers and farms contribute far more to contaminated beaches than a flock of geese ever would. While the approach is novel, and “hexacopters� might have some civic use down the road, the city should be finding a better use for scarce tax dollars.

Elmore Leonard and the end of summer reading
T
he summer reading season is coming to a close. That’s a shame because when we read in the summer we do real reading. We don’t just pick up the book on the bedside table and read five pages before we go to sleep, the last two of which we have to read again the next day. What we do in vacation reading is spend lots of time with the book, so we get right into it. We carry it around and we can’t wait to get back to it. It forms part of the cottage conversation. What’s that book? What’s it about? Can I borrow it when you finish? There are books that are written specifically for summer reading, of course, so-called beach books. Some of them are pretty good. Others are the literary equivalent of summer movies – lots of empty action and contrived romances. Oddly, the best place to find beach books is at airports, but no one calls them airport books. But there are other books, such as crime novels and spy thrillers, that have some literary credibility when they are well done. Anything by John le CarrÊ would fit into that category, as would the mysteries of Henning Mankell and Ian Rankin and the crime fiction of Elmore Leonard, who died last week after

My pattern, perfected over the ages, has been to alternate the heavier, more literary stuff with a Rankin or something about music or sports. There’s what I think of as a Presbyterian quality to this: you have to finish something that’s good for you before you can move on to the stuff you really like. This summer I was lugging around the late David Foster Wallace’s massive novel Infinite Jest. It is 1,079 pages long, with about 100 pages of footnotes that you need to read.

finite Jest puts me in mind of a John Coltrane solo – it’s intense, creative and it goes on and on. No objection to that, but every once in a while you have to take a break. I’m about halfway through Infinite Jest, having already interrupted it once with another novel and I think my next interruption will be Elmore Leonard’s latest, and last, novel which I’ve been saving for just such an occasion. Leonard’s novels – some of his Ottawa fans call them “Elmores� – have a similar quality to The Sopranos television series: not that they are about organized crime, but that their main characters are not master criminals, but colourful low-life individuals, bumbling through life on the dark side. There is violence in an Elmore, to be sure, but also a lot of humour and incredibly funny dialogue. This is no accident. Leonard followed strict rules for writing, which he shared with readers in 2001. The most important one: “Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.� Pretty smart. That would include things like prologues, descriptions of the weather, the scenery and the appearances of characters – since the reader will develop his own mental picture of what a character looks like from what the character does and says.
Leonard would have us avoid verbs other than “said� in describing dialogue, as well as adverbs to modify “said� – no on exclaims excitedly in an Elmore. And the word “suddenly� never appears, because if something happens suddenly the reader should know it anyway. Leonard sums up his rules this way: “If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.� Of course, there are writers who can get away with breaking any of his rules. There are also writers who shouldn’t try. We read them in the summer and can’t wait to get back to an Elmore.

Want to have smart kids? Support their teachers
A
s we head into another school year, the threats of teacher strikes and work-to-rule seem far behind us, don’t they? It’s hard to believe it was only a year ago that the provincial government waged such a nasty public relations campaign against teachers. Yet it was an effective campaign. Just the other day, I heard someone grumbling, yet again, about teacher salaries. Yes, the government did a good job of painting teachers with the brush of lazy, overpaid complainers. Yet a new book by American science journalist Amanda Ripley should give you pause before criticizing teachers and their salaries. In The Smartest Kids in the World and How they Got That Way, Ripley analyzes international testing results
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse across a number of countries to try and figure out why students in the United States continue to be surpassed in academics, not only by those in Canada, but also by students in countries as diverse as South Korea and Finland. Ripley concludes that the single most important contributor to a child’s academic success is the quality of his teacher. Consider this: Ripley found through her research that a child could be in the most decrepit building with limited school supplies and zero access to technol-
ogy and yet, with the right teacher, could outperform students from some of the wealthiest private schools in California. But what, exactly, makes a good teacher? In an August interview with Maclean’s magazine, Ripley suggested there are a number of factors commonly found among the best teachers, including a combination of high-level education and the coaching skills required to push students through difficult tasks or subjects. In Finland, only top students are allowed into
teachers’ college, where they spend six years in training, Ripley told Maclean’s, while math teachers in that country require a master’s degree in the subject before doing their training as educators. But the most profound difference in the countries where academic success is prevalent? Academics in those countries are held in high regard, while teachers and the institutions they serve are given broad public support by parents and politicians. After all, smart and talented people are more likely to enter into a profession that is respected and well-paid, which is not the case in Ripley’s own country. “...(W)hen the teachers are so educated, they are held in esteem,” Ripley told Maclean’s. “And when they are esteemed, the whole business seems important, more
worthy of respect: a virtuous circle.” We are fortunate in Ontario to have teachers that are both highly-educated and well-paid, which means we’re well on our way to having some of the best in the world teaching our children. What’s missing, in many circles, is respect for those in the profession and for the system, itself.
So while you’re out spending hundreds of dollars buying new laptops and pencils for the kids or forking over private school tuition fees, it may be worth thinking about picking up a shiny new apple for the teacher. You never know, with a little extra support from you the parent, your kid’s teacher may make him among the smartest in the world.

Make-A-Wish gets help from a galaxy far, far away Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s Star Wars exhibit raised money for sick kids and families Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com
News – A partnership forged through the power of the force -- or a love of all things Star Wars -- will benefit the children and families served by Make-A-Wish Canada. On Aug. 21, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and the Capital City Garrison, a Star Wars enthusiasts group formed in 2010, handed over $8,000 to the organization’s Eastern Ontario chapter, collected during the museum’s Star Wars exhibit. Make-A-Wish Canada grants the wished of children living with lifethreatening illnesses, in order for them to experience joy and make positive memories. The organization’s Eastern Ontario chapter has granted 437 wished over 14 years. Star Wars: Identities – The Exhibition ran all summer at the museum and wraps up Sept. 2. During the exhibition, the members of the Capital City Garrison were part of a partnership deal that added a live-action element to the static exhibit. For each appearance,
the museum allocated funds to the members, which were promised to be handed over to their charity of choice. Tyson Lefebvre, a young person who had previously received his wish of meeting Hollywood funnyman Adam Sandler, was surprised as he was presented with the cheque to hand over to Make-A-Wish representatives. Lefebvre’s second, philanthropical wish was “to raise $1 million for Make-A-Wish (Canada)’ through his Mission to a Million Facebook page. The $8,000 adds to the $3,000 Lebfevre has already raised. The Capital City Garrison had previously raised more than $10,000 for Make-A-Wish Canada through their appearances at Ottawa Comiccon. Member Luc Lavictoire said that because of the group’s affiliation with production company Lucasfilm, creator of the Star Wars pictures, they were able to donate all appearance proceeds to charity. “For any appearance we make, a donation is made to Make-A-Wish,” said Lavictoire.

were handed over to be distributed to their charities of choice. “We’re happy to have the exhibition here,” said St-Onge.

New website angling for segregated cycling lanes Wood Park couple want to create groundswell of support for network connecting business districts laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Is there an appetite for a network of segregated bicycles lanes through Ottawa’a main business districts? A new website and project initiated by a Wood Park couple aims to find out. Michael Napiorkowski and his wife, Maayke Schurer, launched bikelanes.ca less than two weeks ago as the city’s newest cycling-advocacy effort. The couple, who bike and walk as their main modes of transportation to and from their Wood Park home, said they have increasingly become more nervous about cycling in traffic. Seeing motorists who veer over the painted lines into a bike lane and watching news reports of cyclists injured or killed on Ottawa’s roads spurred them to create the website. Napiorkowski experienced a minor collision earlier this summer when a car pulled into traffic on Queen Street and bumped him, leaving him uninjured. Other cyclists, like a woman who died after her bike collided with a cement truck at Bank Street and Riverside Drive, aren’t as lucky, Napiorkowski said, and that
drive him to try and do something. “Cyclists don’t have to be constantly on edge and afraid,” Napiorkowski said. The genesis of the campaign is to rebrand cycling to show average people that it is a practical and effective way for anyone to get around, Napiorkowski said. But it order to make that possible, the couple believes the city must build a network of lanes that physically separate cyclists from vehicle traffic. Advocating for cycling infrastructure to be included in specific road rebuilding projects or lobbying for more cycling-inclusive policies at city hall is great, but the couple hopes their focused campaign for segregated bicycle lanes will attract a groundswell of support because it’s more straightforward and focused. “The destination is the same, but the message is slightly different,” than other cycling advocacy groups like Citizens for Safe Cycling, which declined to be involved in Napiorkowski’s efforts. The group supported his ideas, though, Napiorkowski said, because it will add more voices lobbying for improved cycling conditions in Ottawa. What the city is doing now,
like adding cycling tracks onto stretches of Main Street and Churchill Avenue, are “baby steps,” Napiorkowski said. “I would like to see a comprehensive commitment to the main districts.” Garnering a large number of signatures on a petition supporting a network of segregated bike lanes will show politicians it’s what people want. “The strength is getting people to become more of a movement,” Napiorkowski said. “We believe that will be the tipping point.” Their goal is to obtain 10,000 signatures over the next year. A flashy website presenting news articles and research previously written about separate bicycling facilities, paired with a social media strategy, will attract people to bikelanes.ca and encourage them to sign the petition, the couple says. Both Napiorkowski and Schurer have backgrounds in new media, with Schurer focusing on video production and instruction, as well as psychology. Her husband specializes in web design and new media, including film. More promotional videos for bikelanes.ca are in the works, they say.

Community-scale developments most sustainable: experts Expert panelists at municipal conference praise infill, ‘eco districts’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Sprawl is hurting cities and needs to be reined in, experts told a group of municipal officials gathered in Ottawa for a conference last week. Densifying cities and promoting infill development is the best way to build sustainable neighbourhoods, a panel of experts told officials gathered for the Association of Municipalities Ontario conference held downtown from Aug. 19 to 21. “Sprawl generate very short-term benefits,” said Geoff Cape of Evergreen Bick Works, the first presenter. “The strategy of urban sprawl has failed. Infill becomes the big strategy moving forward.” That might not be music to the ears of all Ottawa residents. Infill has been a tough fit in many older neighbourhoods – so much so that the city’s planning department is attempting to define how best to allow new homes that bring more residents into the urban area be built in a way that fits into the character of existing neighbourhoods. The first
part of that effort – a zoning bylaw looking at front yards and parking – is still mired in an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. Cape said municipalities will need to have a strong role in encouraging appropriate infill development. “There is a certain responsibility on the supply side to supply the right stuff,” he said about the types of housing available. “The developer and the municipal side have to be involved to steer the consumer in the right direction.” Urban populations across the globe are expected to double over the next 40 to 50 years, Cape said. This period will be critical to determine which cities succeed and which will fail, he said. To get there, cities need to look at development on a small scale – at the community level, said Thomas Mueller, the second presenter. He spoke about the concept of eco districts and how they are models for how we can get closer to communities and homes that produce about as much energy as they consume. There are many things at play to get there, and the interplay between buildings, infrastructure and lifestyle can be designed more easily on the community scale, Mueller said. Jonathan Westeinde, managing partner of Ottawa-based Windmill Development Group, reiterated Mu-

novel types of infrastructure such as wastewater systems or biomass generators is critical, Westiende said. It doesn’t have to start from a clean slate, Mueller said. Existing neighbourhoods can overhaul their sustainability by investing in infrastructure that reduces waste and by making communities more livable. Encouraging people to ditch their cars is one of the main goals that can be achieved by making communities more livable, Mueller said. And tall buildings don’t necessarily have to be a part of that, he said. “Density doesn’t mean you have to go very high,” he said. “Midscale density is done well in Europe.” Planning for sustainable and livable communities in partnership with residents who already live there will yield a more robust result and ensure that the city’s goal of becoming more livable could actually be achieved, he said. “I think this is a very important aspect that’s often neglected,” he said. But the community has a responsibility, too. Residents have to take on a long-term commitment to continue to advocate for the goals and to support the resources they are given to make their neighbourhood more sustainable. “If people are engaged, everything can hit higher targets than anticipated,” Mueller said.

Ottawa West News EMC - Thursday, August 29, 2013
News - Plasco got an extension on a financing deadline for its garbage disposal plant on Aug. 22, but the environment committee indicated for the first time that its patience is starting to run out. “Time is money,” said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt as he introduced a motion that will ensure the city starts looking at other possible ways to deal with residential garbage if Plasco Energy Group’s vision of a novel plasma-gasification facility doesn’t materialize on time. It was the second time Plasco CEO Rod Bryden had to ask the committee for an extension on one of the deadlines imposed in the contract he signed with the city. It’s not that investors aren’t interested in the project, which would be the first of its kind in the world, Bryden said. But it took about a year to get the contract wording worked out with city lawyers and the time left to get investors on board before the deadline was overly optimistic, he said. Bryden said he is confident the plant will be built because the firms financing it have deep pockets and a global view. “That’s one of the reasons why the funds necessary to complete Plasco’s development program and build the Ottawa plant will be available,” Bryden said. “Because the equity funds that support the company see a world market, not an Ottawa
market.” The deadline extension will give those financers more confidence, he said. If Plasco doesn’t show the city it has the proper financing in place by the new December 2014 deadline, it would automatically trigger a request for interest from companies that think they have a technology that could help Ottawa avoid filling up its Trail Road landfill with residential garbage. At current rates, the landfill is expected to fill up by 2035. While councillors mentioned Enerkem, a company that is working to turn garbage into biofuel in Edmonton, city manager Kent Kirkpatrick cautioned that he is not aware of any technologies that would be commercially viable in Ottawa or compete with the deal the city has worked out with Plasco, since the municipality is in a good position with no financial risk by offering to become the first host for the plasma gasification plant. Kirkpatrick will send a memo outlining all the available alternatives by the end of September. Still, committee chairwoman Maria McRae, councillor for River Ward, and other councillors expressed support for Plasco. “I know that we’re very anxious as a city to see Plasco proceed,” McRae said. The possibility of finding a new spot for a landfill in Ottawa is almost nil, she said, so the city has to do something. “Essentially I see this as the
‘patience is running out’ motion,” McRae said of Moffatt’s proposal. “We really want to support Plasco, but if we don’t see movement … (it’s) so we’re not lagging behind a year and a half from now.” That view set off a heated argument with Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, who argued it was ridiculous that the city would pursue another option for waste disposal when it has a “perfectly good” landfill with a couple decades of capacity left. The city should focus its efforts on diversion to ensure that landfill asset lasts longer, Hume said. “I quite frankly don’t believe that pursuing alternative disposal tech is a productive exercise for council to undertake,” Hume said. Duncan Bury, a Champlain Park resident and former city waste manager who oversaw the introduction of bluebin recycling, told the city it shouldn’t wait to look at other options. “People have been trying to crack this for some time and have not been able to do it for municipal waste,” he said. “The city should stop wasting its time on this … I think it’s a fundamentally flawed dream.” The city cannot actively pursue other waste-disposal technologies while it’s tied into a contract with Plasco. The Ottawa facility is expected to cost around $200 million for Plasco to build. The company has invested $350 million towards developing the technology, Bryden said.
Crime Prevention Ottawa seeking motivated board members Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - An Ottawa crime prevention group is looking for motivated community members to help fill out its board of directors membership. The Crime Prevention Ottawa board is responsible for setting strategic direction, managing finances and hiring an executive director for the organization. In total there are 16 board members: eight members representing the community and eight representing institutions which help contribute to the safety in the community. Crime Prevention Ottawa is a city-run organization that works closely with residents, all levels of government, po-
lice, school boards, community businesses and services to help reduce crime. In addition to recruitment for the board, the organization is also seeking active community members to participate as a volunteer member of its community forum. The advisory body gives feedback to the board and helps with the planning and operations and advises the board on emerging issues within the community, community priorities and success stories. Anyone who is 18 or older and is a resident of Ottawa is eligible to sit on either the board or the forum. Individuals who live outside the city boundaries, but have made or make a significant contribution to the
Ottawa community are also eligible. Eligible candidates for the board of directors will be invited for interviews by a nominations committee, which consists of current board members. The committee will also conduct a reference check. Applications for the community forum will be assessed by the community and selected candidates will be proposed to the board for final approval. Applicants can submit a one-page letter outlining their qualifications, skills, interests or background by Thursday, Sept. 12 by regular mail to Francine Demers, Crime Prevention Ottawa, 110 Laurier Ave. West-Ottawa, Ont. K1P 1J1 or by email at CPO@ottawa.ca.

Lung run set to help organ donation Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Those in need of organ donations may breathe a little easier after the inaugural lung run planned for Barrhaven on Oct. 5. A trio of local realtors – Mary, Travis and Frank DeFranco – approached double lung transplant recipient Hélène
Campbell about the possibility of a fundraising run, with proceeds going to her Give2Live campaign. The campaign aims to raise $300,000 for the Transplant Patient and Family Support Fund at Toronto General Hospital. The money will help support basic living expenses like food, accommodations, medical equipment needs and travel to
medical appointments. Campbell received her new lungs in April 2012, after spending several months living in Toronto awaiting the surgery that would give her a new lease on life. The Give2Live website estimates that $300,000 will help 30 families while they are waiting for transplants – that’s an average out-of-pocket expense
of $10,000. The lung run will be divided into 10-and five-kilometre timed runs, along with a 2.5-kilometre fun run Campbell plans to participate in. The five-kilometre timed run starts at St. Andrew Catholic School on Longfields Drive, before looping up Clairidge Drive and Woodroffe Avenue. The cost to register is $35. The 10kilometre run is an expansion of the same route and costs $45 to enter. For more information, visit www.alungrun.com.

Plenty of Get Active Options in the Recreation Guide!
Looking bored never paid off when Mother was around
T
he day was dragging on too slowly to suit me. It was late summer and my Saturday chores had been done hours before. Neither of my best friends could come to play. I was bored beyond belief. I sat on the cement step surrounding the boards at the pump in the middle of the yard and curled dandelion stems just the way my sister Audrey had taught me. They were laid out before me like a pile of pale green pencils. From the same cement stoop, I had played jacks, but without someone to play with I soon tired of that, too. Then I braided long pieces of grass, another talent I learned from Audrey. I picked up stones around the pump with my toes, piling them neatly on the platform. Finally, I resorted to letting them plop down the well between the boards, listening to them drop in the well water below. It was a hot day for late summer. My three brothers had gone to the Bonnechere
Thousands of courses are available in the new Fall-Winter Recreation eGuide available online now at ottawa.ca/recreation. With an incredible variety of fun things to get involved with during the fall season, the City of Ottawa’s recreation and culture program line-up is sure to please! Keeping active is not hard to do when you join a sports league or try a new game! Swinging a racquet makes contact with a badminton birdie, squash ball, tennis ball or pickelball! Do deep knee bends as you dig for that volleyball or run down the court dribbling the basketball around your opponents. Learn some fancy footwork to move the soccer ball down the field or skate loops around the other team as you dip and swerve with the puck.

Chipotle meatloaf muffins new twist on old classic INGREDIENTS
Lifestyle - Cooking meatloaf in a muffin pan cuts the cooking time in half and serving it with mashed potatoes and green beans makes for comfort food with a bit of a kick. If you have leftovers, chop and place them in a tortilla with lettuce, cheese and a spoonful of salsa for a quick lunch. If desired, heat briefly in the microwave. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 21 to 31 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
• 1 small onion, chopped • 1/2 a sweet yellow pepper, chopped • 10 ml (2 tsp) vegetable oil • 750 g (1-1/2 lb) extra-lean ground beef • 1 egg, lightly beaten • 300 ml (1-1/4 cups) mild or medium salsa (mild or medium) • 75 ml (1/3 cup) cornmeal • 25 ml (2 tbsp) pureed canned chipotle pepper with adobo sauce
• 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • pinch of pepper PREPARATION
In microwaveable bowl, combine the onion, yellow pepper and oil. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute to slightly soften the mixture. In a large bowl, combine the meat, onion mixture, egg, 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the salsa, cornmeal, pureed chipotle, and salt and pepper. Divide the meat mixture
among 12 muffin cups, pressing down lightly. Spoon 10 ml (2 tsp) of the remaining salsa on each muffin. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in centre of each muffin reaches 71 C (160 F). Let the muffins stand for five minutes before removing them from the pan. For the chipotle, puree the entire can of peppers with adobo sauce until smooth. Transfer remainder to an airtight container and freeze to
use later in chili, soup, barbecue sauce or with mayo for a spicy vegetable dip or sand-
wich spread. Foodland Ontario

Victim or witness: now’s the time to act.
Let’s all join forces to eradicate bullying Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school. Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying. TYPES OF BULLYING

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge. Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the
spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti. Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature. Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone. DEVASTATING EFFECTS
Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity,
distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying. Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

The golden rule is to never do on the web what you wouldn’t dare do on the street.
Children and the web Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is always a good opportunity to remind children about a few safety rules: don’t talk to strangers, cross the road at intersections and stay on the sidewalks. However, in this era of the Internet, another important element should never be forgotten: Internet safety. Even though computers, tablets and smart phones are great for staying in touch or for doing school work, the fact remains that danger lurks on the Internet, including cyberbullying and cyber predators. Prudence is just as necessary on the Web as it is elsewhere. First of all, children should never use a nickname that re-
veals their age. They should never, ever accept an invitation from someone who asks them not to talk about it to other people. Parents must also make their children aware of the consequences of one of the most dangerous activities on the web – the posting of sexy or suggestive photos. Once on the Internet, these images can circulate nonstop, long into the future. This issue has caused plenty of grief for many a young woman. Parents must discuss with their children the risks and the traps to avoid. Sitting in front of a computer screen seems to protect and isolate us, but the
Internet is a window into the world at large. The golden rule is to never do on the web what you wouldn’t dare do on the street. Because of this, careful supervision is vital. In fact, it is recommended to set up the computer in a communal area of the home so that parents can keep an attentive eye on the use their children make of it. If parents believe that their child is the victim of entrapment or bullying, they should be aware that they do have recourse against this type of criminal activity. Record and print any conversations and contact your local police immediately.
If you are looking for affordable, flexible meeting options or sporting venues, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has plenty of choices. Available after 6 p.m. weeknights and on Saturdays throughout the school year, our schools offer classrooms, auditoriums, gymnasiums, meeting rooms, and cafeterias. Rates are reasonable and parking is free. R0012264113

to change. The stress of a transition might manifest itself as sudden mood swings, nightmares, or minor physical discomfort. Even insomnia can make an appearance. To prevent some of these reactions, parents have everything to gain by preparing their children for a move. The best kind of start is to put all your cards on the table and explain frankly to children why they have to move and what it will involve. After this, parents must listen carefully as they give children time to verbalize their worries. It is important that children feel comfortable expressing what they are feeling. For the transition to go smoothly, it is essential that parents supply points of reference for their children. Taking the time to visit new classrooms, meet the teachers, and see other students will help them develop more confidence. On the way home, a conversation about the positive aspects of the visit will help other fears to dissipate. Of course, parents should not expect that all their chil-

Making dishcloths was low on list of fun things to do Continued from page 17
“Well, get the ball of string out of the cupboard and knit a dishcloth. That will keep you busy for a while.” I hated knitting dishcloths with a passion. I hated knitting with a passion. Once my sister started me on making a scarf of bright red wool and it didn’t take long to see that something was drastically wrong when what I had knitted was turning into a complete circle. Audrey admitted there was a good possibility I would never be a knitter. I heard her say “hopeless” under her breath. Making dishcloths out of a ball of string that had come in pieces from Briscoe’s General Store was low on my list of fun things to do. For some reason, I was always able to manage to create what could pass for a dish rag, even though I hated every last stitch I made. Beads of sweat were on my nose and I looked over at the house with its blinds down and the kitchen door tightly closed. I knew it would be cooler inside than where I was sitting, but what was I going to do when I went in? The house would be as dark as Mother could make it to keep out the summer heat and I knew the Findlay Oval would be out. Mother had a talent
for working when there was very little light. I pictured her sitting at the table stringing beans or peeling potatoes or doing some other kitchen chore that didn’t require open windows. I went to the swing in the grape arbour. It was cooler, but not much, and there sure wasn’t any fun in swinging by myself. I even thought about phoning my bitter rival Marguirite to come over. I was desperate,
Mother took her eyes off the beans long enough to nod her head towards the back-to-the wall cupboard. That’s all it took was one nod. I knew, but not that desperate. The minutes ticked by as slow as molasses in January. Well, there was nothing to do but head for the kitchen door. Maybe Mother would raise the blinds and I could look through the new Eaton’s catalogue that had arrived in the mail that week or maybe draw with the bits of chalk mother kept in a Watkin’s Baking Powder tin on the floor in front of the back door
that lead upstairs. It was a flat door, just a slab really, and a perfect spot to draw or write with chalk. The rule was as soon as we finished it had to be washed off completely. I opened the back door and just as I thought, Mother was at the kitchen table in the dim light stringing beans. I shuffled in, letting out a big sigh, trying to gain sympathy from Mother, who could, as Audrey would say, “read any one of us like a book.” “Nothing to do, eh?” I knew right away I was caught. Mother took her eyes off the beans long enough to nod her head towards the back-tothe wall cupboard. That’s all it took was one nod. I let out a big sigh. In fact, I sighed all the way to the cupboard. I reached into the basket that always sat on the bottom shelf and took out the ball of string and the knitting needles sticking out of it. I got no sympathy from Mother as I headed for the kitchen door and the swing, with the string and the knitting needles. Never, ever in the 1930’s did you say you were bored and there was nothing to do if you were seven years old. In fact, all you had to do was look bored and you knew what your fate was. Another string dish cloth would soon join the other pile in drawer in the back-to-the-wall cupboard.

analysis comparing the financial benefit to the city of expanding gambling at the raceway, or at two sites as the city had originally intended to debate that day.
That debate was headed off on the morning of the meeting when the OLG sent a letter to the mayor and city indicating that it would not be willing to consider allowing multiple
satellite gaming facilities in Ottawa’s zone. The committee also recommended there should be efforts to mitigate the public-health impacts of gambling, including limiting a casino’s operating hours, restricting the number of electronic gaming machines, slowing down the speed of machine play, eliminating casino loyalty programs, prohibiting ATMs on the gaming floor and implementing maximum bet sizes and daily losses. But those recommendations are suggestions for the OLG and its future casino operator – not enforceable rules, Waston conceded. The vote was a stark contrast from council’s position last fall, when it voted for an open and competitive bidding process that included the Rideau Carleton Raceway site. That specification was relevant because the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s stated objective was to bring gambling facilities to where people live – urban areas. As a decidedly rural facility, the raceway would appear to be at a disadvantage under the OLG’s goals. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who has been the council member most vocally opposed to new gambling, said she couldn’t see how protecting the existing approved gaming at the raceway could attract a bid for a “world class” facility that casino proponents describe. In voting to limit any new gambling options or revenues to the raceway site, the finance committee eliminated the possibility of a casino or any gambling facility elsewhere in Ottawa, including at the Canadian Tire Centre. Dejected Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said after the vote that he could not understand why the city was willing to vote to benefit the raceway property owners at the expense of any other business or property in the city, including his casino proposal. But at the end of the day, it’s a call for the OLG to make, Melnyk said. “There’s no question that this is an OLG decision,” Melnyk said. “You can’t single-source this stuff.” Casino proponents on council say the bidding process is open and have suggested Melynk could bid to operate gambling facilities on any site, including at the raceway. Melnyk said his lawyer, Paul Webber, has said what the city is doing is “inappropriate and possibly illegal” and alluded to possible legal action against the city. The Senators owner argued that developing the Canadian Tire Centre as an entertainment destination with a casino, performance amphitheatre, shopping and restaurant district was critical to ensuring the financial viability of his hockey team, which he said loses $10 million every year. The mayor said the decision was within the committee’s purview to make. “I knew Mr. Melnyk would be disappointed, but we do have the authority given to us by the OLG to be site specific, or whatever the equivalent opposite of site specific is,” Watson said. He said he expects the city’s strong relationship with the Senators to continue.

News – The Ottawa police are seeking three men suspected of carrying out a swarming on Gladstone Avenue on the evening of Aug. 10. The police went public with their request for assistance in identifying the suspects on Aug. 22. At about 9 p.m. on Aug. 10, a man was approached by three males while sitting on the front porch of a Gladstone residence, near Bronson Avenue and Cambridge Street North. The victim was verbally, then physically assaulted, prompting him to flee to a nearby gas station for safety. One assailant was filmed by the store’s security cameras when he entered the building in pursuit, before eventually leaving. The victim returned home to find his property had been stolen. One suspect is described as 23-30 years old, five-foot-nine with short brown hair. The second suspect is French-speaking and missing front teeth, 40-plus years of age and fivefoot-10. The third suspect, who was captured on video, is a thin, about 20 years of age, around six feet tall, with dark hair and a moustache and goatee. That suspect also wore glasses. Anyone with information pertaining to the incident can call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222 ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Ping pong tourney bounces back to help four charities Sept. 27 tournament in ByWard Market looking to raise $30,000 it total Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The battle of the paddles is back for another swing at helping four local charities this September. The 4th Annual Verdun Windows and Doors Ottawa Charity Ping Pong Tournament will take place in the ByWard Market on Sept. 27. The event welcomes table tennis enthusiasts, serious players and curious spectators to enjoy a bit of ping pong to help Do it for Daron, Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home and Christie Lake Kids. This year, tournament commissioner Michael Kirkpatrick said the organization would like to raise $30,000. “We set the bar high, but we think we can do it,” he said. “The ping pong revolution is catching on in Ottawa. If you like socializing, like having a fun time then the Ottawa Charity Ping Pong is for you. The ping pong tournament is really a distraction between the raising money for charity, socializing and having a good time.” Last year the fundraiser brought in $26,000 for the charities. The event is meant to be fun for everyone, from high skilled players to those playing for the first time. Kirkpatrick said the tournament also serves as a costume party: last year players were encouraged to arrive in their tennis whites. “That added to the fun last year, everyone really took it to a whole new level, with all sorts of costumes,” he said.
A paddle contest is also underway to create an official ping pong paddle for the tournament. Kirkpatrick said the organization wanted to add a way for more people to participate in the event, so they came up with the paddle design contest. “It’s one of the fun things we are doing with the event, letting people draw an image onto a paddle,” he said. The contest welcomes anyone to create a design for a table tennis paddle. The winning design will be printed by PaddleYou, an online table tennis paddle design company, on official tournament paddles and handed out to contestants at the competition, as well as be handed out as some door prizes at the event. The winning artist will receive two free tickets to the event. All designs must be submitted by the end of August, with the winner announced by Sept. 6. Like last year, the event will be sponsored by Verdun Windows and Doors. The food will be provided by Manotick Village Butcher and all participants will receive an official Ottawa Charity Ping Pong wristband and head band. This year, the event has room for 300 participants to register, up from last year, so anyone over the age of 19 is encouraged to join in the fun. Each contestant will get the opportunity to play at least two games. Registration is $40, but seeing as bouncing a tiny ball back and forth on a green ta-

SkyHawks bringing local players home brier.dodge@metroland.com
Sports - Eric Kibi and Manock Lual are excited to be coming back home. At an Aug. 21 news conference at city hall, as the pair were taking photos with one another in SkyHawks hats, Lual was quick to remind Kibi send him copies. The east-end Ottawa players were both picked up in the Aug. 17 and 18 National Basketball League draft by Ottawa’s new basketball team, along with four other Ontario players. “We’re very excited to have these guys up here in Canada,” said team owner Gus Takkale. “We’re bringing top notch Canadians back to Canadian soil.” Lual, who attended Rideau High School, was the team’s second draft pick. He played locally for the Ottawa Pheonix. He then played for the University of Prince Edward Island and eventually professional ball with Medway Park, a team in Britain. “I’m very excited to play in front of my friends, family and city,” he said. “Hopefully I can give you guys something to be proud of as well.” Kibi attended St. Matthew High
School before transferring to an American prep school and went on to play for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. “It’s kind of a dream come true,” he said. “Three, four years ago, we never saw this coming.” The team also selected Toronto players Tristan Blackwood, Jerome Brown and Alex Johnson and Belleville’s Jamie Vanderbeken. Johnson, a former North Carolina State player and the first overall draft pick, didn’t even intend to try out at the NBL combine. He went to support a teammate and ended up in a jersey playing with the rest of the recruits. Takkale said when the administrator tried to tell him he couldn’t play because he wasn’t registered, the league’s president ran down and told him to keep on going. “Every coach, every GM had his eyes on him,” Takkale said. “He was the best player by far. So we went to go see him at a community club by his house.” It’s been a whirlwind week for Johnson, who found himself signed with the Ottawa team only days after the draft. “I kind of just ran with it,” he

Kibi and Lual are two of the six Ontario players the SkyHawks drafted the Aug. 17 and 18 weekend for this year’s inaugural team. said. It’s the first time a Canadian player has been selected as the first overall pick in the NBL draft – mirroring the 2013 National Basketball Association draft, which saw Canadian Anthony Bennett selected first overall. Takkale said it was important for the team to keep things as local as possible and draft Canadian players. The SkyHawks have partnered the Eastern Ontario Basketball Associa-

CHIEF #A159280
Meet PAIGE. Paige is a very sweet four-year-old, spayed female, brown tabby domestic shorthair cat who came to the shelter as a stray on May 23 and is now ready to find her furr-ever home!
Paige is an independent cat that appreciates her space. She likes to lounge in the cat trees at the shelter and is hoping that she can go home to her very own kitty climber one day.
She is looking for a family that appreciates that she likes to do her own thing; she’d like to be reminded now and then that she’s loved with an ear scratch or a cuddle. Meet CHIEF, a seven-year-old, neutered male, American foxhound who was brought to the Ottawa Humane Society as a stray on Aug. 3. He’s now available for adoption. Like a typical hound, he likes to get to know his environment by smelling around. He’s a social boy with an independent side, he loves to meet new people, but is content with taking a nap alone on his dog bed. Chief would rather not be a couch potato. He’s not ready to slow down anytime soon, so he will need adequate physical and mental stimulation to keep his body and mind healthy! Chief would love the opportunity to participate in obedience classes to learn all his commands.
Tucker is an adorable and personable 9-yearold rescue pet, who came into our lives two years ago. He’s extremely social and is wellknown on Preston St, especially at Starbucks, Simply Biscotti and Bridgehead. For a “mature” dog he’s got tons of energy and his one goal in life is to keep the neighbourhood free from squirrels, rabbits and birds (so far totally unsuccessful). He’s very affectionate and will lay beside you (or on you) when you’re on the couch or in bed

Our 25th anniversary Wiggle Waggle Walkathon is so much more than just a dog walk. The original organizers of the walkathon in 1988 would be amazed at how the event has grown from a much smaller event where OHS supporters would walk their dogs to raise much needed money for the OHS. Fast forward 25 years and the Iams Wiggle Waggle Walkathon has grown tremendously! There are more walkers and more money raised for the animals at the OHS every year. Our goal this year? To raise $185,000 for the animals in the care of the OHS.

Time to prepared for the fall hiking season Ottawa West News staff
News - The Ottawa chapter of the Rideau Trail Association is offering a workshop in September that teaches basic safety tips for novice hikers.
On Saturday, Sept. 7, the association will host an Introduction to Hiking course at the Nepean Sportsplex. The full-day course costs $75 and includes an 18-month trail association membership. The course is
ideal for new hikers and those interested in making their hiking experience safe and enjoyable. “If you’re a novice hiker, this course will provide you with knowhow for choosing equipment, avoiding problems, and dealing with situ-
Grand Prix Race Weekend September 6–8, 2013
ations that may arise on the trail,” said Ruth Oswald, one of the instructors. Topics include hike planning, preparation, packing, outfitting and on-trail procedures, plus an orientation with a guided group. The day includes a short hike. Space is limited. The Rideau Trail Association offers a wide range of hikes for adults, from a moderately paced walk in the woods or in-town to a vigorous tramp through challenging terrain. Scheduled outings take place all year round (with snowshoeing and crosscountry skiing in winter), mainly on weekends and Wednesdays. The Wednesday walks are perfect for retirees: the Ottawa Club offers impromptu hikes that day in Gatineau Park. It also offers a Tuesday evening program from mid-March through October, with urban hikes in September and October. Activities co-ordinator Ethel Archard said hiking with a group brings confidence and makes the experience more pleasant. “How many of us would out of the blue go and do a 10 kilometre hike, or even think we can,” she said. “With a group you don’t even realize you’re doing 10 km. It’s really an opportunity for people to get the
confidence and the opportunity to get out there.” But the Rideau Trail isn’t the only network of hiking paths available to Ottawa residents. The area offers a wide array of other possibilities, including the Greenbelt and Gatineau Park, or just exploration of interesting communities in the region. Of course, the association recommends joining a local hiking club in order to stay safe. “With an experienced leader, you’re not going to lose your way,” said Ottawa Rideau Trail Club president Sheila Parry. “Plus, the on-trail company is pleasant, there’s help if needed, and you experience environments you might never find on your own.” The trail association maintains a continuous route between Ottawa and Kingston and offers hikes, from easy to challenging, on the Rideau Trail as well as in and around the Ottawa-Gatineau, Perth and Kingston regions. Participants can join, get more information on the club, view the hike schedule, or register for the Introduction to Hiking course at www. rideautrail.org or by calling the Ottawa club’s information line at 613860-2225.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 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!
It may be difficult to get to the heart of a matter that has monopolized your time, Cancer. But some things will come to light soon enough if you remain patient.
