a nine-storey, mixed use condominium building proposed for two Bank Street properties in the south part of Centretown. The building’s shape and height is allowable under a zoning bylaw amendment approved by the city in January 2013, however, that proposal contained 95 units. The new proposal outlined in the city plan contains 151 units, the majority of them being small studio units of around 400 square feet. A parking lot and two-story building at the southwest corner of Bank and Flora Street make up the addresses of 488 and 500 Bank. A demolition permit was included in previous applications to the city. A planning rationale prepared by Fotenn Consultants outlines the business case for the project, which Urban Capital has named Smart House Ottawa. “The increase in units is driven by desire to provide a range of unit types within the Centretown area where there is an abundance of one and two bedroom units available,” the document states. “The revised project is focused on delivering an affordable dwelling unit to the market in the central area which is well served by retail

Ottawa Valley Tours

and service options, transit and other alternate modes of transportation.” Fotenn states the project is modelled after a similar project in Toronto that marketed itself towards young professionals who wanted to live downtown and were unlikely to own an automobile. In adopting this approach, Urban Capital reduced the vehicle capacity of the singlelevel underground parking garage to just 16 spots for residents (seven of them designated for small cars), and seven visitor spots. More than 150 bicycle parking spaces will be located throughout the building. “With the new concept behind Smart House Ottawa and the constant evolution and diversification of mobility within the city, the reduced parking supply is considered to be adequate for the intended residents of this proposal,” the document states. In approving the initial zoning permit, the city’s urban design review panel recommended allowing for flexible retail space on the ground floor of the mixed-use development, in order to accommodate a range of retailers. It also had the developer incorporate a building cutback at the corner of Bank and Flora to give more room for pedestrians. Didn’t get your

Library to define plan for new central branch building Study will help assess opportunities for public-private partnership Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A defined vision for a new Main Library branch is needed to make the project a success, according to library board chairwoman Jan Harder. Harder wants to make the proposed project – for which no construction money has been set aside – a major civic priority in the next term of council. But first, the city and library board needs to identify exactly what it wants out of the new branch. After receiving a report in July listing more than $40 million in upgrades renovations needed to make the current Metcalfe Street branch viable, the library board voted down all the renovation options and decided to look instead towards a publicprivate partnership for a new central library. Before it can get to that point, the

Ottawa Public Library was set to hear on Sept. 8 that $188,000 will be spent for a consultant to draft a detailed plan outlining what the library is looking for, the goals, general location and business case for partnering with a private business or landowner to create the new branch. Harder said the framework for such a partnership needs to be “crystal clear” so interested partners will be able to put together appropriate bids. “This is going to be a significant project and we want to give them a clear vision of what we’re looking for,” Harder said. “If we pull this off in the way I envision, it’s going to provide broad opportunities and interest. “(A plan) will help us understand the opportunities that come forward,” she said. Around 10 individuals or firms have already approached Harder personally to express interest in the

idea of partnering to build a new central library. Harder would like to see the board hire a company with experience in public-private partnerships and expertise in defining project scopes. After that plan is done, Harder is focused on not letting it sit on a shelf. Although the library has no money for a new build – or even the renovations that were originally suggested – she said she’ll be pushing the issue to the forefront if she is re-elected in the Oct. 27 municipal election. That’s when city council will define its new list of priorities for the term of council, and Harder wants to see a new central library on that list. This term of council, the city’s cultural capital plans have been focused on finalizing a plan to redevelop Arts Court. The library is “the next large, civic-purpose project that the city will move forward on,” Harder said.

of the City speech in January. At the Metcalfe Street mural’s unveiling on Aug. 26, Watson said he’d like to see murals on all major underpasses by 2017. The blank gray walls “don’t reflect the heartbeat and culture of the city,” Dickie said. That what she and the other artists involved in the Metcalfe mural – Mike Davis, Phil Laporte and Dominic Laporte – aimed to do with their puzzle-piece mural that depicts iconic sights from the area, such as the Aberdeen Pavilion and a dinosaur from the Canadian Museum of Nature. The puzzle pieces illustrate the theme of “connection.” The mural took about seven days to complete and it should last 10 years or more, since it’s protected from the sun.

She has painted many murals in Ottawa over her 15 years as a graffiti artist, but this is the first time such paintings are being sought out as public beautification projects. “My collective and I, Ottawa Urban Arts, has been doing murals for quite a while now ... But this is the first time that public art has given an opportunity for graffiti artists to actually paint a mural like this,” Dickie said. “We’re just really happy that Ottawa is starting to evolve. That’s what we’re trying to push. “I’m glad that we’re starting to be able to open up the doors a bit and embrace the evolution of the newer generation of artists,” she said. Mayor Jim Watson had proposed the idea of adding murals to drab cement underpasses as part of his State

Culture and national pride collide in pop-up gallery Westboro gallery hosts work by 20 African, Caribbean artists Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Arts - A pop-up art gallery in Westboro is now the temporary home to a vibrant collection of works, all inspired by the distinct cultural heritage of the artists’ homeland. Titled A Diasporic Transmission of African and Caribbean Art, the exhibit at Farah Art Gallery contains the work of 20 artists hailing from Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Guyana, Haiti, Guinea, Ghana and Sudan. Organized by artist Nicholas Ali, the gallery at 325 Richmond Rd. opened in August and recently extended its exhibit until Sept. 30. The Guyana-born Ali is a

member of the Ottawa School of Art as well as the AOE Arts Council – an Ottawa non-profit organization that supports and promotes art appreciation. For Ali, the gallery’s appeal lies in the inspiration the artists draw from their homelands, and how that comes together through their use of colour, compositions and landscapes. “One of the things I noticed was that the works were very similar in terms of theme and colour,” he said of the collected works. “It’s very vibrant in colour -- it speaks of life.” Ali has been working with local artists and collecting works for the past 16 years. He wanted to bring as many cul“That was way to easy!”

tures as possible together for the show, providing patrons of the gallery with a wider scope of culture to enjoy and learn from. “Not a lot of people who vacation in the Caribbean travel to the capital cities of those countries,” said Ali. “In those cities, many of the great galleries reside. So, people who go to resorts don’t get to see the art those countries have to offer.” The exhibit’s featured artist is no stranger to taking viewers on an exotic journey through imagery. Luigi St. Omer is the son of Sir Dunstan St. Omer, a renowned St. Lucian artist who instilled his observational works with the pride he felt in his island nation.

“My work is strongly influenced by my father and by impressionist artists like Van Gogh,” said St. Omer in a prepared statement. “My art students, the purity and creativity of their youth, uninfluenced by any prior formal arts training is also another source of inspiration.” Donations to the gallery and a portion of proceeds from sales will support five artistic organizations in Ottawa and abroad, including the AOE Arts Council. It is Ali’s hope that someone will come forward to provide the group of artists, and others like them, with a more permanent space in which to exhibit their works and educate aspiring artists. “This is something I feel the community needs,” said Ali.

SUBMITTED

Luigi St. Omer’s ‘Village Life’ is one of the many works features at the Farah Art Gallery in Westboro this month. The pop-up gallery is showcasing the works of 20 artists hailing from the Caribbean and Africa.

Binge Drinking: A Major Worry for Many Parents. Heading off to college or university is a life changing experience for both the student and the parent. You try to prepare them for all situations, however, you know that during those ﬁrst few weeks, your son or daughter will be introduced to new challenges which can include pressure to party hard and drink lots of alcohol. It is well known that alcohol abuse is common on college/university campuses. Over 52 thousand, 19 to 24 year olds report binge drinking at least once every month. This behaviour likely contributed to the 780 alcohol related emergency room visits by 18 to 25 year olds in Ottawa. Excessive alcohol use can lead to alcohol poisoning, addiction, injuries, risky behaviour including drunk driving, unintended sex and even violence. A few drinks isn’t usually a problem, it’s the harms associated with drinking a lot of alcohol in a short time that can be quite serious, if not deadly. As a parent, you may be asking yourself why this happens. Unfortunately many students believe that binge drinking and drinking games are a normal part of the campus socializing experience. Although many young adults who are entering into college/university life may have had prior alcohol experience, they often over-estimate how much alcohol and how often their friends are really drinking; believing ﬁve to 10 drinks, three to four times a week to be the norm. The reality is that the majority of students drink far less alcohol and less often. This misperception of what constitutes an average drink is what reinforces binge drinking behaviour. Combine this misperception with positive pressure to drink, and your son or daughter may end up drinking much more than they are used to.

really will hear your advice, keep talking. Believe it or not, what you say does inﬂuence their behaviour. Try to keep the conversation going, letting them know you care and want to help.

Top 10 tips for safer Drinking 1. Going to a party; set your limit before you leave 2. Pace yourself when drinking 3. Alternate with beverages that are non-alcoholic; mocktails are great alternatives 4. Hold a glass of any kind in your hand; others won’t bug you to get another drink 5. Don’t mix the type of alcohol you drink 6. Pour your own drink; helps you track how much you are having 7. Don’t get sucked into drinking games; no one wins 8. Never leave your drink unattended 9. Stay with the same group of friends 10. Arrange a safe return home ahead of time. Intoxicated walking isn’t a safe choice

If you haven’t had conversations yet about alcohol, it’s not too late. Start by talking about how alcohol affects If you would like more information, please call your body, tips for drinking safely and how to handle the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at school pressures.

Keep going wild for charity

llowing yourself to be drenched by a bucket of ice-cold water might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of something to pass the time. Yet like those who strip down to their bathing suits to take the frigid polar bear plunge on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day every year, there is something more than lunacy behind the Ice Bucket Challenge craze thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweeping the globe. In fact, a day doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go by without some notable Ottawa resident or worldwide superstar of the screen, stage or sporting field sitting in front of a camera, recording their moment of bravery to raise money to support amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research. So far, thanks to both the well-publicized antics of celebrities or the more humble courage of lessfamous individuals, more than $100 million has been raised for ALS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; better known as Lou Gehrigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease â&#x20AC;&#x201C; research worldwide in the month of August. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impressive number that includes $10 million donated to the ALS Society of Canada alone. The results of the campaign are startling. Ac-

cording to the ALS Association, a mere $2.8 million was raised during the same period last year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge difference, one that can be attributed to the Ice Bucket Challenge. This begs the question of why fundraisers from other organizations, particularly those connected to diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis or diabetes, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put their heads together to come up with similarly bizarre challenges to raise money. If people can return year after year to take the polar bear plunge or grow a moustache for Movember, often backed by charitable pledges, surely some sort of strange challenge or feat would attract potential donors to pony up for a thrill and spectacle similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge. Yes, there are runs, hikes, bicycle tours and swims to raise money for one cause or another, but nothing that has caught the collective imagination like a brief, icy bath. The people involved with ALS have thrown down a fundraising challenge. It will be exciting to see what those who accept it can dream up.

Getting angry about cable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Canadian thing

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been around this country for a while, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know what really bothers Canadians, what really gets them angry, what inspires them to write letters to their MP and nasty words in the comment sections on the Internet. Hint: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the Middle East. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not homelessness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the constitution. If you guessed cable TV, you win the Snickers bar. It appears to drive us crazy. A few years ago when the cable companies introduced negative option billing, you would have thought World War III had broken out. That gigantic public uproar disappeared after the cable companies backed down, but there is always a new uproar waiting to happen. A medium-sized uproar emerges

and Canadians are constantly beseeching it to do one thing or another. We want more of this. We want less of that. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why the cable companies canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us more of this and less of that. If you find this tiresome, there is bad news. The whole debate is starting up again. This comes out of the release of a document by the CRTC discussing possible changes to the way things are done. The so-called pick-and-pay system is one of the options that will come up in hearings next month. That will raise the whole question again of whether we should pay for channels we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch, and whether we can add new channels without being forced to purchase additional channels.

I suppose itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an unimportant issue. The cable industry, along with some smaller channel operators, argues the current bundling method is necessary to the survival of channels that serve smaller audiences. Some of us love those little channels. Since the CRTC has a mandate to ensure a certain amount of Canadian content, that argument makes a certain amount of sense. It would make more sense if most of the specialty channels didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resort to seeking an audience by abandoning their specialty in favour of old sitcoms, horror movies, rom-coms or reality shows. To compound the problem is the fact many Canadians think, in these matters, more like consumers than citizens. The public good is nice, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get you the Golf Channel. Nagging away in the background is the idea that TV as we know it will be obsolete in a few years and the CRTC will have to deal with that too.

In a way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad that we get so worked up about all this, but there it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is on the table for discussion,â&#x20AC;? says a CRTC spokesman. Regulatory changes are scheduled for December, 2015. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be talking about it endlessly until then.

Lowertown truck tunnel study kicks off Municipal-provincial funding partnership proves ongoing collaboration: councillor laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Confirmation of funding for a Lowertown truck-tunnel study shows the city and provincial governments are ready to work together on a solution, according to the ward councillor. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s ward residents have been calling for a solution to the heavy transport truck traffic that cuts through the city’s core en route to Quebec. After the Ontario government withdrew funding and support for a study examining locations for a new bridge over the Ottawa River last summer, the province and city announced in November 2013 that they would partner on a study looking at building a tunnel to give 18-wheelers an underground route through Lowertown. Last week’s confirmation that the funding agreement had been signed not only kicks off an 18-month study looking at the tunnel’s feasibility, it also marks the start of a collaboration between the two levels of government to work towards a solution, Fleury said. “Now we’re demonstrating that the two partners who are working on this and will find a resolution agree that we need to find a solution and that it’s an important thing for Ottawa,” he said. The city could have undertaken such a study on its own, but partnering with the province from the outset ensures there are ongoing discussions focused on finding a solution, the councillor said. “I want residents to know it’s not another study, it’s about resolution at this point and we’re already in discussion with the ministry (of transportation),” Fleury said. Fleury said it’s clear that it’s feasible to build a tunnel in the area because the city is already digging one for the light-rail system. The truck tunnel study would look at possible alignments for the tunnel connecting Highway 417 to the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge, the route’s size and number of lanes and the potentials costs of such a project. The study will take about 18 months to complete and will cost

$750,000, with the city and province each paying half. International engineering firm Parsons has been hired to undertake the study. Approximately 2,500 trucks travel through Lowertown on King Edward Avenue on a typical weekday – a number which is expected to increase by one or two per cent each year. The route also sees trucks using Waller and Rideau streets. With files from Michelle Nash

Let ALS have its moment

R0012867943

f you have any presence on social media, you’ll know people across the world have been dumping buckets of ice water over their heads. Automatic video streaming on Facebook has made it nearly impossible to miss a glimpse of people’s selfie videos, as they use everything from truck beds to coolers to salad bowls to store the iciest water they can find, and then pour it over themselves. The point is to experience a moment of freezing, lightly mimicking the paralyzing symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is designed to raise awareness and money for a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse rare and once little known disease. Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It attacks the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, eventually causing many patients to become paralyzed before it eventually kills them. The idea behind the fundraising campaign – which went viral

See CHALLENGE, page 11

2014026004

Inspire Us

in August – is to dump the ice water and donate money to ALS organizations and then challenge others to do the same. Sounds great, right? For some reason, however, the campaign has found critics ranging from magazine writers to movie stars. They accuse participants of vanity and “slacktivism,” the latter because the ice bucket dump-

ing can be done in lieu of a donation. Maclean’s magazine published a scathing article describing people’s participation in the campaign as misguided. Guest contributor Scott Gilmore argued people should donate money where need is greatest, where their dollars will have the greatest influence and where there is an urgent problem. He goes onto point out that ALS is already overfunded, in his opinion, given that it only killed slightly more than 6,000 people in the United States last year. But Gilmore’s arguments are rooted in irrelevancy.

First, the idea that we donate money only where need is greatest would leave many Canadian-based charities – hospitals, homeless shelters, educational institutions – without any legitimacy as fundraisers, given they all fall under the category of wealthy, First World institutions when compared with those in the developing world. Second, the idea that funding for medical research be based on dollar per death makes no sense. It may be the case, for example, that because ALS is so rare and there are few treatments, it requires more extensive funding than, say, cancer or heart disease. Finally, Gilmore’s argument against donating to ALS is premised on the notion that people are donating to research for this disease at the expense of other charities – say, ebola outreach efforts in Africa – which is not necessarily the case. Many people are donating – or by doing the challenge without donating, creating awareness – in ways that they have rarely done before. In other words, they’re not sacrificing their church tithes or their hurricane relief donations in order to give ALS organizations a boost. People donate when they feel engaged. The ice bucket challenge has captured the attention and imagination of hundreds of thousands of people. Who cares if it’s largely a vanity exercise, or an opportunity for people to showcase their creative talents in DIY video production? The challenge has made people care, for just a minute, about a disease they’ve possibly never heard of and one they may never consider again. For whatever reason – vanity, interest, the desire to be part of a community – people have chosen to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. As far as I can tell, it’s a win-win. Individuals get their 15 minutes of fame and a rare disease gets to have its time in the spotlight. It’s also a great case study for those looking for creative ways to draw dollars to their own charitable organizations. The campaign has raised more than $100 million for the ALS Association in the U.S in the summer months, up from $2.8 million over the same period last year. It’s unlikely the various organizations that conduct research and provide services for families affected by ALS will have an opportunity to receive like this again. By viewing ALS research as unworthy, wishing charity dollars could be diverted elsewhere, and accusing people of slacktivism, it would seem only real slackers are the critics. Instead of capitalizing on the inspiration of this campaign (as have some

games in a Sportball class. The program introduces basic skills such as balance, large muscle development and body awareness.

News - Gail Brown ran a half marathon in November, then in December she found a lump. “I am proof that it can happen to anyone,” Brown said. “I ran a half marathon. I was the one who was at the doctors always saying I am not on any medications, and feeling great.” It was Pancho, Gail’s husband, who found the lump. “I was terrified when I got the diagnosis,” Brown said. She was diagnosed on Dec. 17 and had had a mastectomy a month later. She recently finished rounds of radiation and chemotherapy. As an encouragement, Pancho, a player with the Wolves,

In preparation for the event, Irv Osterer, arts department head at Merivale High School, prepared Saving Second Base T-Shirts the whole team wore in honour of the event. “The Save Second Base campaign started in the U.S. a few years ago,” Osterer said. “The concept grabs your attention, then hopefully makes everyone smile a bit and then gets people thinking about the devastating impact breast cancer has had on so many families. We realize the importance of saving second base at all costs.” Brown was in good spirits and was cheered by the

support she received from her husband’s teammates. The recovery was from chemotherapy and radiation has been tough for the Westboro resident. “We had been travelling to the treatments here and then spending a lot of time recuperating at our home in Perth,” Pancho said. Just before she threw the first pitch in the game, Brown urged the women in the audience to get checked in order to catch the disease early. “Thanks to improvements in screening, detection and treatment, the survival rate for men and women is significantly higher now than it was a decade ago,” Osterer said. “Together we can knock breast cancer out of the park.”

Getting fully prepared for back to school

his would be my second year at the Northcote School. I had passed out of Primer Book, much to my delight and my brother Emerson’s complete surprise. He told me on more than one occasion that I would be in the lowest grade for at least three years I loved school, and I loved Miss Crosby, even though I held her in great awe. She never played favourites, and often her patience was tried to the limit with both Cecil and Emerson in the same class. But she ruled with an iron fist, and her word was law at the Northcote School, let me tell you. I could hardly wait to get to school on that first day back in September. We five children had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and we had on our next-toSunday-best clothes, those that we wore into Renfrew, or

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories to the Saturday night house parties. Not our very best, but a step up from what we would wear after that very first day back to school. Writing was still beyond me, but I was able to print, and days before we were to go back to school, I had printed out all the rules I had learned the year before. I had sat at the kitchen table, and with the help of my sister Audrey, I refreshed in my mind, all the dos and don’ts Miss Crosby insisted on. I had to remember to stand at my desk, feet firmly planted on the floor, to answer any

question asked by the teacher. It was considered very disrespectful to stay in your seat. And there was no slumping over your workbook. You sat up straight as a die. No passing notes or whispering allowed, and you never, ever, left your desk without permission. When the inspector came to the door, without rapping usually, just brazenly walking in, you immediately got out of your desk, and stood at attention until told to sit down. (The inspector was someone to be feared – even Miss Crosby held him in awe. The

inspector was right up there with a member of the local police force). You had to be prepared for desk-drawer inspection without notice. So your books better be in perfect order: the scribblers on the very bottom, and the reader and spelling book on top. And no chewing on your art gum. That order was especially for Cecil who was known to demolish his art gum before the first week of school was over. And don’t even think of going to the pail of drinking water on the bench at the back door without asking permission. You asked permission for anything you needed or wanted to know by raising your right hand. Never your left hand, which apparently meant something entirely different. That was a challenge for Cora who was naturally left-handed, but she soon got onto raising her right hand when Miss Crosby ignored her otherwise. And the second Miss Crosby appeared on the stoop outside the school, and rang the big brass hand-bell, you lined up like soldiers. The smallest at the front of the line, and the biggest at the back. It had nothing to do with what grade you were in.

It had everything to do with how big you were, so I was always the first in line, and even though he was not even in Senior Fourth, my brother Emerson, as big as any man on the Northcote Side Road, was always the last in the line. And of course you never went into the school after being “rung in” and immediately sat down. You stood perfectly still until Miss Crosby came back in, went up to her desk, and nodded permission. There seemed to be no embarrassment in asking to go out to the privy. But there were even rules for asking permission back then for something as basic as having to use the outhouse. If it was to be a fast trip, you raised one finger on your left hand – this was when the left hand was put to use. Two fingers on the left hand meant you expected to out there for a bit longer. Of course, the entire Northcote School knew what you were asking permission for. And once the deed was done, you quickly washed your hands in the basin at the back door, dried them on the huck towel on the roller, and took your seat, and got right down to work. Miss Crosby was high on ritual, and so every morning

we stood solemnly at our desks, with our right hand, palm opened over our heart, and paid homage to the King, repeated the Lord’s Prayer, and then sat, ramrod straight with our eyes glued to the teacher, as she read a verse from the bible. And it was on that first day of school that each of us was assigned chores. These could include sweeping the floor, emptying the waste paper basket at the end of the day, wiping off the blackboards, changing the drinking and washing-up water, and making sure the pencil sharpener had been emptied every night. This schedule was tacked to the wall at the back of the schoolroom, and it was considered a great privilege to be asked to do chores for the teacher. My head would be spinning by the time I tried to remember all what I could and could not do at the Northcote School. By the time the first week of school had passed, all the rules would have been established, and the school would be running like a welloiled wheel. It would be many years later that I would finally realize what Miss Crosby meant when she said in her opening remarks, as she stood at the big oak desk at the front of the room at the start of every school year. “Remember going to school is not a right, it is a privilege.”

Chicken, zucchini enchiladas will liven up any meal Lifestyle - The word enchilada actually means “to season with chiles.” Red sauces are the most common style, but why not liven up your menu with this quick and easy recipe using a prepared Mexican green salsa made with tomatillos and green chilies. For a vegetarian option, substitute cooked black beans for chicken. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves four.

• 250 ml (1 cup) diced zucchini • 175 ml (3/4 cup) diced red pepper • 2 green onions, sliced • 500 ml (2 cups) Mexican green salsa (salsa verde) • 8, 18-centimetre (7-inch) flour tortillas • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded TexMex cheese • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) diced field tomatoes • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander

Ingredients

Preparation

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 250 g (8 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 10 ml (2 tsp) ground coriander • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) pepper • 1 large clove garlic, minced • 425 ml 1-3/4 cups (425 mL) fresh corn kernels (two to three cobs)

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, cumin, coriander and pepper, and cook, stirring, for two to three minutes. Add the garlic, corn, zucchini and red pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for three to five minutes, or

until the chicken is lightly browned and the vegetables are slightly softened. Stir in the green onions and 125 ml (1/2 cup) of the green salsa. Cover the tortillas with paper towels and heat them in a microwave on high for one minute. Place about 125 ml (1/2 cup) of filling in the middle of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam side down in a greased three-litre (13 x 9-inch) baking dish. Pour the remaining salsa evenly over the enchiladas and top with the shredded cheese. Bake in a 190 C (375 F) oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown. Serve garnished with the diced tomatoes and fresh coriander. Foodland Ontario

The Olde Forge Seniors’ Recreation Program September- December 2014

New facility to create recreation opportunities Continued from page 1

The RINK program (Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids) is an initiative of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which has partnered with sponsor Trinity Development Foundation for this effort. The project was announced on Aug. 28, two weeks after the opening of the city’s most recent Sens RINK in Bayshore Park. The goal of the Sens Foundation is to locate 20 rinks in underserved neighbourhoods throughout the capital region. Sens RINKs can be used for hockey and skating in the winter, and basketball, ball hockey, and numerous other activities during the warmer months. Programming is provided by the city. “It’s great they’re doing this,” said Mechanicsville Community Association president Blair Simser. “This is going to be a great addition to the park.”

Laroche Park is undergoing a planned transformation, brought about by the community design plan created for Mechanicsville last year. Visioning exercises attended by community members crafted a revitalization plan for the park, of which the Sens RINK plays a large role. The plan was put on hold as the community waited to see whether the Sens RINK would be awarded to Laroche Park, but now it can go ahead, said Simser. “Now, I think we can move forward and come up with a new set of plans,” said Simser. “I think there will be a lot of carryover … It’s a big park with plenty of room.” The plans for the park included a revitalized rink (now replaced by the Sens RINK), as well as a renovated and expanded field house, a sports field, an updated splash pad, walking paths and upgraded lighting. Trinity Development Group is a commercial prop-

erty developer that regularly makes contributions to educational, recreational, cultural and health programming in Ottawa. After decades of little change, a slew of development proposals in 2012 put the neighbourhood of Mechanicsville back on the radar of the city, and led to the resurrection of the community association. The CDP and associated park plan was a reaction to the development pressure. A plan for the currently vacant Bayview Yards land – which is adjacent to Laroche Park – was also crafted at the same time. “During an April, 2013 visioning exercise for Laroche Park held by the community association … the number one desire that came out of it was a paved rink surface,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs. Hobbs said she had hoped the rink would move forward sooner, but a necessary environmental study pushed the

decision date from April to August. Methane gas bubbles from an old dump regularly damaged the ice surface at the old rink – fixing the problem came in at a lower-than-anticipated cost of $60,000. “We got this information last Friday (Aug. 22),” said Hobbs. “We’ll know from the parks department where the rink will be located so we can move ahead with other elements of the park.” The enlargement of the field house might be accomplished

by a special, dedicated fund (in April 2013 it was reported that Richcraft Homes offered this as a community benefit), however, it isn’t known if this offer is still on the table. The city’s parks department will fund the other park improvements. The planning for the park was done in parallel with the city’s Sens RINK agreement so that everything would be in place if Laroche Park was chosen for a project location. “This (announcement) means that the Sens will

come and do a practice at Laroche Park, and kids will have the opportunity to have programming offered by the city,” said Hobbs. “Players will come to summer picnics and winter carnivals – that’s what you get when a community receives a Sens RINK.” Because of the need for new changing facilities at the park, especially now that the rink is finalized, Hobbs said she will look into the possibility of having both projects take place at the same time.

Volunteers stuff more than 1,500 back-to-school backpacks Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Thanks to the donation of 420 more backpacks, the Caring and Sharing Exchange will be able to outfit all the families on their waiting list with the supplies they need for school. Volunteers gathered at the Accora Village Recreation centre on Aug. 25 packing 1,520 backpacks with the supplies Ottawa students will need for the start of school. The charity runs assistance programs for families in need, including a Sharing in Student Success program. The pro-

gram provides children in need with grade-appropriate stuffed backpacks. The need is rising according to spokesperson Megan O’Meara, who said last year’s demand reached 1,292 children. This year, the increase is nearly 20 per cent, with a total of 1,520 children on the list. There were 420 left on the waiting list before Giant Tiger stepped in and donated 420 backpacks. The Canadian retailer donated an additional 500 backpacks a month earlier. “Words cannot express the relief I felt when our friends at Giant Tiger offered to donate

the additional bags for all the children on our waiting list,” Cindy Smith, executive director for the Caring and Sharing Exchange, said in a press release. “The backpack itself if the most expensive item given to each child, and although we still need help to fill all of these bags, our goal of helping all the children on the list is once again within reach.” Giant Tiger is a long time supporter of the charity and gives financial and in-kind donations to the Sharing in the Student Success Program, as well as the nearly 100-year-old Christmas Exchange. Jennifer Smith, a first-time volunteer, said she was surprised at how streamlined operations were as she busily

filled backpacks. “It seemed overwhelming to find out we had to stuff more than 1,000 backpacks in two days, but it’s all gone really smoothly,” she said. Angela Kemp, president of the Ottawa Fund for a New Generation Gala, said the organization – which hosts an annual gala at the Canadian War Museum every April – donates money to the program every year. This year, they donated $5,000 to the student program. The exchange is just one of the organizations that receive funding from the gala. The notfor-profit gives money to the Youth Services Bureau, The Door Youth Centre and the Ottawa Network for Education’s school breakfast program.

Residents start push for Bel-Air community group Jennifer McIntosh

Blood donors celebrated Childhood cancer survivor Matthew Holmes was joined by his family and members of the Ontario Provincial Police at the Carling Avenue Canadian Blood Services location on Aug. 27. Holmes, who received numerous blood donations during his leukemia treatment, thanked donors at the blood clinic and handed out ribbons in support of childhood cancer. Blood drives were held across Canada on Aug. 27 as a way of creating awareness around the Childhood Cancer Awareness Month of September. From left are Diana, Patrik and Matthew Holmes, territory manager Maureen Millette and Daril Holmes.

News - College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said a push for a community association in the west-end community of BelAir happened at “lightning speed.” “We had a barbecue one weekend to discuss the possibility, and then residents had put together an interim board of directors the next week,” Chiarelli said. The new community association met with residents on Aug. 23. The temporary boundaries will be Erindale Drive, Baseline Road, the Queensway and Cobden Road or High Gate Court. Chiarelli said the first annual general meeting to cement those boundaries and choose a permanent board of directors will happen on Jan. 7.

��

In the meantime, the councillor’s staff will seek input from the Copeland Park Community Association, the Queensway Terrace North Community Association and homeowners. “It may make sense for some streets to be brought into the new community association’s fold, but the individual homeowners will have to be consulted,” he said. The community hasn’t had an association since the 1990s, but changing demographics and a need for consensus building could be the reason residents were so keen on developing one, Chiarelli said. “There is a real interest in doing programming for the community building in the park,” Chiarelli said, adding residents have talked about seniors programs and some other activities that would re-

L A N A R K

quire the administration of a community association. He added residents are interested in doing one fun day per year, similar to the Christmas dinner in the Briar Green community or the summer and winter fun days in Qualicum Graham Park. “I don’t think people want to be as ambitious as Queensway Terrace North, which has had four events in the short time since they became an association,” Chiarelli said. Residents also seek to build consensus on zoning and other city-related issues, he said, citing the student housing issue around Algonquin College. “Residents don’t want to see the zoning get so tight around the college that students all move en masse into the Bel-Air community,” Chiarelli said. “We assured them that wouldn’t happen.”

Beechwood merchant challenges others to support ALS Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

THE CANADIAN TIRE SNOWSUIT FUND

News - Moments before Fresh owner Margot Robinson was drenched with ice cold water in support of ALS, the hair salon owner challenged other area merchants to do the same. On the morning of Aug. 27, Robinson bought two bags of ice to make sure the water was cold enough to serve up the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for both her and fellow stylist Lindsay Lepage. Standing out front of her shop before the soaking, Robinson called on all of Quartier Vanier’s Beechwood Avenue merchants to take the challenge in support of ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -- also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Lepage called on all of Beechwood Avenue’s Second Cup staff to do the same. Seconds later they both were drenched.

“It was refreshing,” Robinson said. The idea to participate in this social media fundraiser started when Robinson first heard about the Ice Bucket Challenge. “I just think it’s such an amazing cause,” she said. And for her, the cause is personal. Robinson said she decided to support ALS in memory of Greg Minaker, a person in her life who died from the disease. So far, one other shop owner is already planning on taking on the challenge. Gourmet cheese shop Jacobson’s, will get the cold, icy treatment with a little help from the Ottawa Fire department on Aug. 29 at 6 p.m. A video of Robinson and Lepage’s dousing is available for viewing on Fresh’s Facebook page. To donate to ALS Canada or find out more information about the disease, visit als. ca.

Old Ottawa South gets ready for another big sale Annual firehall event promises to have something for everyone Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Whether you’re getting ready to move out of your parents house and need supplies, want to add to the collection of toys for the little ones or just looking for something unique for that tough-to-buy-for friend, the Old Ottawa South community-wide garage sale might just be the best place to start looking. The Old Ottawa South Porch Sale will take place on Sept. 6 at locations all across the neighbourhood. To break up the monotony of shopping, the Ottawa South Community Association will once again host activities at the firehall from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. “It’s a pit stop,” said organizer Darcy Middaugh. “You can have some fun, fuel up,

and then go back to the garage sales.” The community centre will have live music, a barbecue and children’s activities available both inside and outside the centre. “You will pop in for five minutes and I think you will want to stay longer,” Middaugh said. “We have put a lot of effort into organizing it and I think it will be a really great time.” The community association does not have an exact number of houses participating in the sale, but Middaugh said typically most of the streets in Old Ottawa South participate. “I think it’s just a great community event,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to meet more families, see everyone and have some fun.” The community-wide garage sale begins at 8 a.m. on Sept. 6 and runs until 6 p.m.

Somerset House owner says he’ll revive Duke restaurant Mayor calls out TKS Holdings for failing to fix up Somerset House Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson called out the owner of the derelict Somerset House building for failing to start work on the landmark structure, but its owner again said work is imminent. Watson said he had a heated phone call with Tony Shahrasebi, the owner of the falling-down shell of a building at Bank and Somerset streets in Centretown. “It’s been an eyesore,” the mayor said. “There has been precious little work and big promises.” The mayor asked for city staff to

prepare an update on permits that have been issued for the Somerset House and the value of encroachment fees the city has waived in hopes of prompting Shahrasebi and his company, TKS Holdings, to start work on the building. The city’s built heritage committee approved a design for restoring the building last October and Shahrasebi told the Ottawa East News in the spring that construction was imminent, but it has remained unchanged since. On Aug. 29, Shahrasebi said he was sending a power washer to clean up the building over Labour Day weekend, as well as a paint and sheet-metal crew to determine what work will need to be done. Cleaning of bricks, removal and repair of metal features and the building’s bay windows will follow, Shahrasebi said. See CURRENT, page 30

Hospice care in brief... What is Hospice Care Ottawa? Hospice Care Ottawa (HCO) is a community-based, charitable organization that provides high-quality end-of-life care free of charge to clients and their families. Over 700 community volunteers and health care staff ensure delivery of its services. But Hospice Care Ottawa must raise $1.6 million annually -- 45% of its annual budget. HCO’s services include: • Residence care in a home-like environment; • A Day Hospice Program which gives clients a day to enjoy camaraderie and supportive therapy in a friendly environment; • In-Home Support helping to provide reassurance and comfort to people at home; • Family Support which includes counselling to individuals and their families who are coping with a lifethreatening illness and • Bereavement and Grief Support for individuals and groups and includes activities such as counselling, retreats and nature walks.

were locked in a court battle for more than four years, which started when the city’s chief building official issued a demolition permit for the building because she worried the rest of the building was going to fall down. Shahrasebi obtained a court order to have the demolition done in stages to save part of the building, as long as it was in a safe condition, but much of the structure except for the facade and a side wall were torn down. The once-vibrant building has remained that way – covered with graffiti and open to the elements – for four years because of the court battle. The city sued him for costs related to the collapse and Shahrasebi countersued. In 2012, Shahrasebi was ordered to pay the city $650,000 in a legal settlement representing the city’s costs to respond to the partial collapse.

given new motivation to the Somerset House project, said Shahrasebi, who is now keen on opening his own restaurant honouring the heritage of the Somerset House. He would likely call the eatery the Duke of Somerset, after a popular historic pub that used to occupy the building. “For Somerset (House) I don’t have any tenant(s), but I am getting to the point since now I have gotten into the restaurant business, now I have a lot of chefs and managers around. So I think we can do something ourselves,” he said. “Therefore, we are going to be our own tenant. We are not going to rent it to anybody.” Another option he is working on is a “market mall,” which would include space for around eight individual vendors in a “funky, European style” indoor market, Shahrasebi said.

How can I help support Hospice Care Ottawa? Homes for the Holidays (November 14, 15, 16) is a very important fund raising event. It’s a tour of eight elegant, decorated homes from Kanata to Rockcliffe Park. Tickets are $50 and visitors will also be able to enjoy: The ‘Tables to Dine for’ at the Orange Gallery, a wreath auction at the RuddyShenkman Hospice and the unique Holiday PopUp Shop with that special seasonal gift.

Last week, after the mayor publically criticized Shahrasebi for failing to meet his commitment to tidy up the site, the building’s owner said politicians have a lack of understanding about running a business. “The mayors and politicians come and go. I own a lot of property in this city. I am not going anywhere,” he said. Last spring, Shahrasebi was set to ink a tenancy agreement with a pharmacy after two years and $200,000 spent negotiating. When that deal fell through, the project was put on ice as Shahrasebi worked on two other redevelopments: the former Salvation Army building on Gladstone Avenue and the renovation of a former garage into a new burger joint, the Bacon Factory, on O’Connor Street. Opening that restaurant has

Why is hospice care important? Hospice care is important because: • Our population is aging. • There continue to be long wait times in emergency rooms. • The current need for hospice beds is estimated to be up to 80 – and fewer than half that number exist. • Residential hospice care offers a supportive environment for dying patients at a lower cost to the overall health care system.

Continued from page 29

TRENDS

What is hospice care? Hospice or palliative care involves providing physical, social, emotional and spiritual support to individuals and their family members coping with life threatening illness, death or bereavement. Hospice care is different from other types of health care in a number of ways: • Comfort vs. cure: For most health care professionals, the goal is to help people get well. At Hospice Care Ottawa, the staff, volunteers and family focus on comfort, support, and care rather than cure. • Family focus: Hospice care focuses on the entire family. Hospice staff and volunteers help family members become involved in the client’s care. • Grief support: Bereavement support staff and volunteers maintain contact with family members for up to one year after the death of their loved one.

New affordable housing building opens in Lowertown Ottawa East News staff

News - The affordable housing stock in Lowertown has grown a little bit recently thanks to a new Ottawa Community Housing building on Old St. Patrick Street. Replacing a derelict house and two townhomes, Ottawa Community Housing officially opened the new 10-unit housing development at 456 Old St. Patrick St. on Aug. 25. “This new facility is a great example of how we are investing in communities to address the considerable social and economic costs related to homelessness,” said Mayor Jim Watson. The new build occurred in part because the former house’s foundation was badly damaged in the 2010 earthquake. Now the 10-unit building has four, two-bedroom units, five three-bedroom units, and one four-bedroom, wheel-

Dyscalculia: When numbers turn into a nightmare health professionals eliminate other hypotheses, such as problems with vision, hearing, or the consequences of brain trauma, for example. A neuropsychological examination is then conducted in order to assess intellectual quotient, concentration, memory and language. These procedures may seem to take a long time, but they are vital in order to avoid making a premature diagnosis, which could point doctors in the wrong direction. Children diagnosed with dyscalculia are treated by a speech therapist. The length of the treatment varies, as each case is unique, but excellent results are entirely possible. If you’re concerned that your child may suffer from a math disability, talk with a professional who can direct you towards appropriate assessments.

Lifestyle - Sarah doesn’t like math. She has difficulty reading and writing numbers, she can’t remember her multiplication tables, and the simplest calculation discourages her. When she’s asked to solve a problem, the task is laborious and she feels stupid. Sarah may suffer from a math disability: dyscalculia, or numlexia. Dyscalculia is to numbers what dyslexia is to letters. The number 243 can turn into 200403 inside the heads of children with dyscalculia. They use their fingers when asked to count, and addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are incomprehensible. There are several outward signs of this learning disability, but they have nothing to do with intellectual disability or sensory disorders. Before diagnosing dyscalculia,

Homework can be fun when it becomes a game

Congratulate your children for the efforts they have made while doing their homework.

Lifestyle - It’s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework. Imagine what it’s like for them, after a whole day of school! Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework. With the following strategies you can make this obligation more fun for everybody. • Play school with your child. Find yourself a little desk, let her pretend to be the teacher, and ask her to show you how to write out her spelling words. This is especially effective if you create a “blackboard” with a piece of paper taped to the wall. • Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your son might have difficulty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow him to stand up, and ask him to say his multiplication tables while throwing you a ball. • Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for ev-

Long live extracurricular sports they’ll also be much more concerned about eating well. Many schools also offer a late bus service for students who go to the gym after classes. And last but not least, think about the pride you’ll feel when you see

your children playing. Who knows, perhaps they’ll be the star athletes of their teams! Whatever their role on their teams, they’ll be certain to cherish these memories for the rest of their lives, and so will you!

Lifestyle - If your children come home from school at the beginning of the school year asking if they can join the school’s volleyball or badminton team, think before you object. Joining a sports team or club is a great idea for several different reasons. Wearing the school’s colours encourages a feeling of belonging in your children. At the same time, it will probably help them to more easily accept the constraints of student life. Besides, many schools require that students maintain passing grades in order to play on teams. That can be a real source of motivation for students inclined towards homework laziness or who are less academically gifted than the average. The sedentary lifestyle of today’s young people is alarming. Kids no longer naturally migrate outdoors after school to play. Playing sports on a team at school will help your children become more active, and if they follow the advice of their coaches,

ery 15 minutes of concentrated effort (or any other ratio that works). • Exchange privileges for achievements. For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if she can finish her math homework in fewer than 15 minutes. Timing her will increase her concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you don’t want to discourage her. • List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child pick the next task to tackle. Include a surprise note, on which might be written “take a ten minute break” or “enjoy a second story at bedtime”; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs. • Be encouraging rather than stressed out. Congratulate your child for good results and be positive about future attempts. Most of all, help him or her to feel proud of their efforts.

Peter Clark to seek re-election in Rideau-Rockcliffe Veteran politician latest to enter crowded council race Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark ended the uncertainty over whether he’d vie for his job by filing his election nomination papers on Aug. 22. Clark said he’s delivered on commitments he announced in the 2010 campaign and gained a reputation as a “can do” politician in his return to politics this past term. “I think I’ve done what I promised,” Clark said. “I think the public either appreciates that or doesn’t and I’ll find out.” The 76-year-old waited until late August to announce his candidacy because he wanted to ensure he was physically capable of campaigning. He is receiving treatment for sciatica. “I considered whether I was physically going to be able to do it,” Clark said about hitting the campaign trail and knock-

ing on doors. “It gets painful to walk, but I think we’re overcoming it.” “There are certain things that need to get done. I made a commitment to do them and I’m going to do them,” Clark said. Those things include providing input to city staff to finalize policies to dispose of unused laneways and completing upgrades to two or three local parks, including Cardinal Glen Park. Clark wasn’t worried about his late entry into the race, which already features six contenders: Clark, Cam Holstrom, Jevone Nicholas, Tobi Nussbaum, Sheila Perry and Penny Thompson. “I’ve never found that people turn their heads to the election until after Labour Day,” Clark said. “So I announced early, in my mind.” Clark was first elected mayor of the former township of Cumberland for three

terms in the 1970s following a career as a senior economist for the federal government. He served as chairman of the former regional municipality of Ottawa-Carleton from 1991 to ’97 and then served as executive director of the Standards Council of Canada from 1999 to 2008 before re-entering politics in 2010 when he was elected at the ward councillor. In this term, Clark is touting his involvement in jettisoning the plan for an interprovincial bridge at Kettle Island, as well as his role in saving the city money by recommending the light-rail tunnel be rerouted under Queen Street rather than Albert Street. Clark says he played a pivotal role in securing the Donald-Somerset pedestrian bridge currently under construction, as well as the redesign of several ward parks and the addition of heritage street signs for New Edinburgh and Rockcliffe Park.

DEALS YOU LOVE

FOR LESS

Clark has evolved his viewpoint towards a stronger stance on heritage issues over the course of his term as councillor. “It was a learning process for me,” he said. “But, we’ve managed to move heritage into a subcommittee of council ... I knew that there were concerns (about heritage issues among residents), so I have educated myself and I think I represent those concerns pretty well.” Community groups have criticized Clark for not attending their meetings, but Clark says he finds it more affective to communicate by email. “I don’t believe that going there and dominating the meeting is particularly useful,” he said. “I get the agendas and I input ... I send them emails about what’s going on with one file or another, so they’ll have the information.” Clark said he would attend meetings if groups gave him notice about when they are being held.

Blue Jays to the rescue for Miracle League Brier Dodge

R0012867954

News - The day after a huge Aug. 24 celebration at Lansdowne Park, the Miracle League of Ottawa found out they had fallen short of winning $100,000 from the Kraft Celebration Tour. The $25,000 they won will be well used, but wasn’t the $100,000 that the Barrhead Curling Club won in the contest. The Miracle League of Ottawa is raising money to build an accessible baseball diamond that would accommodate special needs children on Navan Road. The city agreed to match donations. But a few days later, on Aug. 28, something better happened for the Miracle League crew.

Michelle, Bryce and Rolly Desrochers from the Miracle League of Ottawa spend the day at Lansdowne Park with the Kraft Celebration Tour on Aug. 24. Kraft announced it will donate $25,000 to the Miracle League cause – bringing a baseball field and playground for children with disabilities to Ottawa. The Toronto Blue Jays, through the Jays Care Foundation, donated $210,000.

“This major gift from Jays Care Foundation has brought the Miracle League within

striking distance of its phase one goal of raising $1M to build a fully accessible baseball diamond and playground for children with special needs in Ottawa,” said David Gourlay, the president of the Miracle League of Ottawa, in a press release. “We now have pledges of $935,000 and it’s very exciting for all of us who have worked very hard for the past two years to make this dream a reality.” The project’s original plan would cost close to $1 million, but the project scope was expanded to include a renovation of the Navan Road field house and build accessible washrooms. With the Jays Care Foundation’s donations, the group needs to raise an additional $386,000 to complete the entire project.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

News - Ottawa police have ruled out foul play in connection with the death of a woman whose body was recovered from the Rideau River in south Ottawa last week. Major crime investigators began leading the investigation and were initially treating the death as suspicious after a passerby walking in the area discovered the completely unclothed remains of a 31-yearold woman on Aug. 26 around 10:48 a.m. The police marine, dive and trails unit was called in for the recovery in the waters off the Rideau River Eastern Pathway in the park, just south of the O-

Paramedics are seen near the banks of the Rideau River, where a woman’s body was discovered on Aug. 26. Train bridge, and across from Carleton University. The announcement that foul play was no longer suspected came following the results of

a post-mortem examination on Aug. 27 that was conducted to determine the cause of death. Police went back to the site to scour the area for evidence on Aug. 27. The 90-metre section of pathway was cordoned with police tape blocking access to cyclists and pedestrians after officers were initially called to the scene. Police directed several pedestrians and cyclists to detour around the area. Several marked and unmarked police cruisers remained at the scene for several hours, and paramedics were at the site as a precaution, said Const. Chuck Benoit, police spokesman. The woman’s identity will not be released by police.

re-entered the building,” police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit said following the incident. “The package seemed suspicious from what it contained through handling it, so as that progressed … it was deemed (by FedEx staff), ‘Ok, we’ll step aside because we don’t know what it is and we (need to) let the investigators take care of it,’” said Benoit. “So police were called.” Benoit did not know whether the package was being shipped to someone or if it was in a box or suitcase. Neighbouring buildings, such as First Air, did not have to be evacuated. “If they would have (required) more measures of safety then they would have made bigger arrangements for other

buildings to be evacuated,” said Benoit. The incident was the second time in about a month that emergency responders were called to the FedEx site. The Ottawa fire department’s hazardous materials response unit was called there on July 28 after a customs worker’s eyes came into contact with an unknown powder – the second call to that building in about a month. During that incident on July 28 the Ottawa fire department’s hazardous materials response unit was called after a customs worker’s eyes came into contact with an unknown powder. The substance, which was in a package, was later determined to be non-hazardous.

Living art helps Discovery Tour grow Sixteen stops, 34 artists on this year’s rural art route Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - Only a select few artists can describe their work as “succulent,” but for Vicki Williams it’s the defining element. The North Gower garden designer creates “living art” with a vast variety

of perennial and tropical succulent plants, which she nurtures on her front porch in the heart of the village. In an effort to promote her unique art form, Williams has joined this year’s Discovery Tour, an annual rural art route that connects patrons to 34 artists in 16 locations across the former Rideau Township over a two-day

weekend in September. The tour on Sept. 13 and 14 includes a rich variety of local painters, sculptors, textile artists, jewelers, photographers and farmers. Williams is unique in that she offers art that continues to grow and change as it hangs on a wall or in a garden. “They’re more than just a flower pot,” Williams said. “This is something where you can get your hands dirty and appreciate living

things as art.” Her terrariums, wall hangings and vertical gardens often combine greenery with found objects like vintage picture frames, pottery and ironworks. She said her pieces range from $40 to $400, but at any price they can liven up an indoor space. “You can appreciate gardening on a really small scale,” she said. “Most of these pieces you could take to your office and have green around you.” Williams has a design background, although she said she has always loved gardening. She began her retail career with an interior decor shop near Toronto, which grew into an exterior design and garden installation business. When she moved back to her hometown of North Gower in 2010, Williams took several horticultural courses at the Guelph University campus in Kemptville and became an accredited master gardener. Today, she runs a retail shop and

Emma Jackson/Metroland

North Gower garden designer Vicki Williams has joined this year’s Discovery Tour to show off her ‘living art’ creations with succulents and found objects. offers living art workshops on her enclosed front porch, showing patrons how to bring true succulence into their life and home. “Succulents are really easy for people, because you can get creative,” she said. “They’re easy to care for, easy maintenance.” Williams’ mother Eleanor Sangster will join her on the front porch at 6574 Fourth Line Rd. – stop number four on the Discovery Tour – to show off her watercolour paintings throughout the weekend. This year’s tour is the biggest ever with 16 stops and 34 participants. The Discovery Tour’s roots go back 20 years to the Rideau Rally, which local quilter Joan Lindsay started to promote small businesses in North Gower. It goes even farther back to the Monk Tour in the same area. Over the years, the tour’s emphasis has shifted from showcasing local businesses to promoting local artists, artisans and growers. The tour is well known in the North Gower/Kars area where its stops are located, but in recent years word has spread to the Ottawa area and beyond about this most varied of studio tours. To ensure the tour’s high quality, all participants and stop venues are selected by a jury each year. The tour runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14. More information is located at discovery-tour.ca.

Humane Society preps for 26th annual walk Sept. 7 fundraiser to benefit Ottawa Humane Society Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Humane Society is gearing up for their annual Wiggle Waggle Walkathon on Sept. 7. This is the charity’s 26th annual walk and one of the only ones in the country to include a three-kilometre companion run, where participants are able to bring their four-legged friends along. Natalie Pona, a humane society spokeswoman, said the goals for the annual fundraiser – the society’s biggest – are $40,000 for the run and $160,000 for the walk. So far, pledges are at about 25 per cent of the goal. “We really start to see the numbers go up in the last week leading up to the event,” Pona said on Aug. 28. Last year – the companion run’s inaugural year – there

were 2,500 participants. The companion run is a three-kilometre route from Juliana Park and Queen Elizabeth Driveway. The walk can be one or three-kilometres and takes place around Commissioners Park on Queen Elizabeth Driveway. Supporters can register for the walk with a donation of $25. People walking with dogs they adopted from OHS can register for $20 and a family pack registration is $40. Pona said aside from the walk, there will be kids’ activities, a pet pavilion and other entertainment onsite. “It will be a lot of fun,” she said. The annual fundraiser helps the humane society provide for the more than 10,000 animals they care for each year.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, take the high road when you find yourself in the midst of a disagreement with a friend. It may be tempting to stick to your guns, but the disagreement is nothing too significant.

There are only so many hours in the day, Libra. You need to pick and choose your activities accordingly. You likely will not be able to squeeze everything in.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Much is going on, Taurus, and you have trouble zeroing in on a focal point. Unless you make a list of all you want to accomplish, you may get lost in the shuffle.

Scorpio, if you want to get involved in something, then by all means give it your best shot. If it’s something foreign to you, let others take the reigns until you’re more comfortable.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

You sometimes change your moods on a whim, Gemini. But lately you have been more steadfast in your convictions. This behavior will continue for some time.

A new perspective is all you need to feel better this week, Sagittarius. A change of scenery or even looking to an old friend for advice can make a real difference.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Don’t make any rash moves in the next few days, Cancer. For whatever reason your common sense meter is a little off. You may want to run ideas past a trusted friend for a while.

The friends you thought you could count on turn out to be the real deal, Capricorn. Just see what they have in store for you this week. You will be so surprised.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, unless you try you will never be able to tell if something is within your capabilities. Do not be afraid to fail. It’s better than putting in no effort at all.

It is okay to have strong opinions, Aquarius. But respect the opinions of others who may disagree with your point of view. Learn how to walk away from pointless situations.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve this week. Don’t worry, as your willingness to share your emotions will endear you to others.

There’s more to the story than meets the eye, Pisces. Quick judgement may land you in hot water. Wait for the dust to settle.
