New era dawns for Carleton Heights PS Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - One year and $3.3 million worth of work later, Carleton Heights Public School has thrown open its doors to new and returning students. Extensive upgrades were made to the Prince of Wales Drive school, which originally opened in 1954 and last saw heavy work (an addition) in 1958. A school year spent at a temporar-

ily re-opened Parkwood Hills Public School presented logistical challenges for staff and students, but principal Andrew Canham said the move there and back went smoothly. “We moved out over the course of two days, starting June 30 of last year – every pencil, paper and textbook had to leave the building,” said Canham. “It was an absolutely monstrous operation, and took an incredible team of people to pull it off.” See STUDENTS, page 7

would be set back from the building edge, oriented towards the rear of the property, using the lower buildings as a podium. Setbacks would be placed at the third and eighth floors. Two floors of underground parking, accessed from Madison, would contain 86 vehicle spaces, with 23 commercial and eight visitor spots above grade. A total of 108 bike parking spaces would be included within the garage. A planning rationale prepared by FoTenn Planning and Urban Design states, “Given the site’s proxim-

ity to the Dominion and Westboro Transit(way) Stations, local bus routes and bicycle routes, proximity to retail and commercial areas, visitors (and residents) of the site will be encouraged to make use of the transit system and, as a result, demand for parking on the site may be reduced.” A comment period is underway for Domicile’s proposal, with planner Douglas James accepting feedback via the city’s development applications page. There has been no word on a public meeting to discuss the development.

Oak Street complex to be demolished steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - The expansive Oak Street warehouse will soon be no more, leaving a large tract of developable land near Gladstone Avenue and the O-Train tracks. A request for proposals for a demolition project issued by Public Works and Government Services Canada closed on Sept. 9, with the federal department stating the demolition is expected to begin in early October. The demolition comes as no surprise to nearby residents, as the federal government stated its intent to offload the property last year. Triangular in shape, the building occupied property that sits in the middle of the area covered by the Gladstone Station community design plan. The north part of the property, which borders Somerset Street, will be retained by the government. Public works has stated that following the demolition, the property will be backfilled, graded and landscaped pending future development. The likelihood of the Oak Street property becoming available for development is one of the factors that spurred local residents to participate in the community design plan process. That process has been ongoing this year, and is close to completion. A second draft was been created, but no final report has yet been tabled. “For us in the community, we were expecting this to come,” said Michael Powell, Dalhousie Community Association president. “It’s nice to see the process (of redeveloping) the biggest chunk of available land in the area is starting to move forward.” The existing CDP documents, tailored from past consultations but not yet finalized, show Plouffe Park extended slightly towards the west, with an O-Train bridge linking Laurel Street to Oak Street.

A triangular park would be located on the site of the Oak Street complex, along with a north-south access road and condo buildings of varying heights located adjacent to the rail line. The low-rise nature of the dead-end streets that branch westward from Preston Street would be preserved. Overall, Powell said he sees many positives in the CDP as it currently stands, but takes exception to the OTrain bridge. “What we’ve seen so far is a real drive to have more roads built in that

area,” said Powell. “Right now, Oak Street is a quiet, dead-end street, opposite a park. They really shouldn’t put a bridge there, as the end result will be more traffic in the area.” Powell said he hopes city planners “recognize that this (future) development is predicated around a walkable, transit-oriented community.” The CDP process is expected to wrap up later this fall, following the municipal election in October. It is the community’s hope, Powell said, that the CDP is in place before any part of the Oak Street property is put up for sale.

Parkdale Food Centre receives provincial grant $92,000 Trillium grant will boost service capacity Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - The Parkdale Food Centre’s ability to serve the needs of its clients got a boost on Sept. 4 with the announcement of a $92,800 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. The staff of the centre worked with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi to secure the grant, which will be put towards expanding the centre’s

capacity and putting new programs into practice. Parkdale board chairman Don Flynn called the grant a “momentous event,” adding, “this grant will mean many things to the community here, to our neighbours in need, for all of the things we will be able to do for them.” Flynn praised board members Christine Earnshaw and Heather Hossie, who worked on the grant application. The newfound funds will

go towards establishing community collective kitchens (where clients are taught how to cook and make best use of their food), a crop “gleaming” project in conjunction with the Dalhousie Food Cupboard and local farmers, as well as sharing best practices with other food centres. Staff capacity at the centre will be expanded to allow for more client access to the donated items. The centre will be moving into new space on

Rosemount Avenue this fall, meaning there will be more available space in which to enact programming. Coordinator Karen Secord described the collective kitchens program as being a place where “clients will be able to come in, and, with help, be able to prepare a large amount of food that can then be stored on-site in a fridge.” “Gleaming” the crops of local farmers means entering into an agreement where the centre purchases what’s left over from farmer’s crops following harvest and sale. “I know in my heart that everyone deserves good food,” said Secord. “All we’re trying to do is help people stay healthy.” Naqvi said he first visited the Parkdale Food Centre last year, which prompted a suggestion to the centre’s coordinator, Karen Secord, to apply for a grant. He said Secord guided him through the entire process of how a client interacts with the organization’s staff.

Steph Willems/Metroland

Parkdale Food Centre coordinator Karen Secord speaks during an event held on Sept. 4. The centre will receive $92,800 for staffing and program improvements. “So that I could experience firsthand working with members of the community and learn some of the challenges they live through,” Naqvi said. “It was an eye-opening experience being in the shoes of the volunteers, to see exactly the kind of challenges that take place.” Naqvi praised the staff for establishing policies that call for seeking better food for the

centre’s clients - something that led to controversy following Secord’s recent declaration that the centre would turn away food they though was not nutritious enough. Despite the backlash, Earnshaw said donations – both physical and financial – grew in August compared to the same period last year. “It hasn’t affected us in the negative,” said Earnshaw.

Maria McRae won’t run for re-election Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Coun. Maria McRae, who has represented River Ward for almost a decade, made a surprise announcement that she won’t run in the Oct. 27 municipal election. McRae announced she would step down after the term officially ends on

Dec. 1 in an email note sent to residents on Friday, Oct. 5. She had not yet registered for the election, with the Sept. 12 deadline approaching. She is the sixth veteran councillor to announce she won’t seek re-election. McRae said she started thinking about stepping back from city council after Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume made a surprise announcement in August that he

would not seek re-election. On a road trip to her hometown of Sudbury on Labour Day weekend, McRae had a lot of time to talk it over with her husband, Paul. She said she began to think of all her experiences and accomplishments in 11 years as a city councillor in a different light. “I realized it was time to pass the baton,” she said.

McRae said she has no intentions of slowing down and she hopes to find a new career - and volunteer work that allow her to give back to the community. Eliminating the stigma associated with mental health is a passion for McRae. It began when she was heading up the Ottawa Community Housing board and saw some of the outcomes for people who struggle with

their mental health, but her drive to advocate on the issue was cemented when she held fundraisers for Do It For Daron, a charity started by former Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson to raise awareness after his 14-year-old daughter, Daron, died by suicide in 2010. McRae said she was touched by the number of city employees who came to her office to thank her for helping open up a conversation about mental health they never felt comfortable having. “They would come to my office under the guise of buying a ticket and then close the door and say ‘My child suffers from this and I never felt I could come to work and talk about it,” McRae said. In terms of where her career takes her, McRae said she is open to anything and she didn’t shut down the possibility of re-appearing in the political scene. McRae, a lawyer, was first elected in 2003 after she was endorsed by the retiring councillor, Wendy Stewart. Prior to that, McRae worked as a legal consultant and taught at Algonquin College. McRae’s most notable role on city council in recent years has been as chairwoman of the new environment committee, which was created by splitting environmental issues from the planning file at the beginning of this term of council. She has stickhandled issues such as switching to biweekly garbage pick-up and ongoing negotiations with the proposed Plasco waste-to-energy facility. McRae initially called for an audit into the city’s green-bin recycling contract with Orgaworld, which eventually revealed this summer that city staff misled council with incomplete information that ended up costing taxpayers an additional $8 million. McRae was also at the forefront of calling for an investigation into the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge debacle. The project was plagued by poor design and subpar construction and oversight that caused delays and saw its budget to balloon to almost double the original estimate.

With the first week of school now finished, only a few small details are waiting to be finished. This is a good outcome, said Canham, after a movein process that came “down to the wire.” Carleton Heights Public School was built to serve the early Baby Boom kids immediately following the Second World War and designed to house returning veterans and their families. It hails from an era when many new schools were built to serve the growing suburbs and population in Ottawa and other Canadian cities. Those schools are now in a state of advanced age, requiring much work to keep them operational. This has strained school board budgets and placed schools on waiting lists for the necessary funds. “There’s not an infinite amount of money to work with,” said Canham. “The board does, I think, an amazing job of assessing need for facility upgrades. This project was on the books for three or four years while the board prioritized its funds … I’m thrilled we made the list -- these kids deserve it.” Among the renovations were new heating and cooling units, a main office expansion, and new windows that keep out the cold better than before. The biggest operation – and the sole reason they needed to vacate the building for a year – was the necessary asbestos remediation. The school’s asbestos-filled ceiling was stripped away and disposed of – an operation that calls for biohazard suits and a secure building perimeter. Canham said the upgrades were enough to drop the jaws of many of

the returning students. “Their eyes were the size of silver dollars,” he joked. “They were in awe.”

Good time to think big

oes each term of council need to pursue a defining civic project? If so, what would constitute such an endeavour? Recently, Coun. Jan Harder, who is running for re-election in Barrhaven Ward, said she intends to raise a new main library as “the next large, civic-purpose project that the city will move forward on” during the next term, if she gets her way. The main library is an obvious example of a significant civic project the city could pursue. A recent report presented to the library board indicated that even a major renovation of the current building would cost the city $75 million. At some point, the city will need a new flagship branch for the library system, so Harder’s suggestion would certainly fit the civic-project bill. What else could the city consider? Lansdowne Park, the most recent example of a major civic project, has already been revamped. LeBreton Flats is an eyesore on the face of the city, but its fate lies in the hands of the National Capital Commission. The Ottawa Baseball Stadium will see a minor face

lift, but council balked at providing a larger outlay to attract a high profile ball club to town. The expansion of Arts Court is a more recent example of a major civic project. Part of the problem with identifying a major civic project in Ottawa is that like LeBreton Flats, many of the civic spaces here are in the hands of the federal government. In addition, many of these capital city spaces serve as major civic sites – Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, for example. The federal government has the market cornered on civic spaces. This raises another question: does each term of council need to embark on a significant civic project? By identifying a new main library, Harder appears to be discounting something like the light rail project, a transit infrastructure project that could certainly qualify as a major city building project. Maybe Ottawa already has enough to occupy the next four years. If nothing else, Harder has raised an issue that deserves debate during the upcoming election, and provides food for thought for voters in Ottawa.

How can they stand all that traffic?

n Ottawa we have our little vexations, but for the most part it’s still a fairly convenient place to live. We complain about the traffic, but usually it doesn’t slow us down for more than five or 10 minutes. Toronto is a different story, as you know. A drive into the city on Labour Day gives you many additions to your list of reasons not to live there. Toronto on Labour Day? Well, a child’s birthday is involved. Anyway, the drive is to take place in the morning, so it won’t coincide with the mass migration from the cottage. No problem. One little thing, though, we are told, is to avoid the Gardiner Expressway, part of the usual route, because it’s the last day of the Canadian National Exhibition

of a single pylon in the right lane of a street can cause backups for many miles. Driving in, the 401 is fine and 680 reveals that traffic is moving well except at some unheard of street. It is also revealed that the Labour Day parade will be affecting downtown traffic. The parade route is available on our website, the announcer says. This is unhelpful and a bit scary, the scary part consisting of the thought that maybe some drivers are checking the website right now. We stay with the alternate route suggested by relatives, who then begin phoning with revisions. Too late we discover that the alternate route leads right into the parade at Queen Street.

When we finally get there, all parking spaces have been wiped out by the construction site for another condo building but never mind. The birthday party is in a little park and everything is great until the air show begins. Jets are so loud you think you’re under attack and they’re going so fast you can’t see them even if you try to outsmart them by looking where they haven’t been yet. Later they are succeeded by something that sounds like two dozen flying lawnmowers. Taxpayer dollars are involved in this, not to mention pilots’ lives. The odd local newspaper columnist inveighs against it, but Toronto seems to like it and it endures. No matter how you feel about it, it’s hard not to

look up when the noise comes again, but the new condo blocks the view. As Labour Day passes, the noise abates and things return to normal with the news that part of King Street will be closed due to the film festival. Perhaps you can get used to this.

Want to reduce stress? Unclutter

his summer I brought uncluttering to an entirely new level. Yes, I’ve written about uncluttering before. Yes, I’ve done it. But until now, I haven’t really been ruthless about it. In August, I created a vision statement for project: “I will get rid of half the contents of the house.” The nice thing about a vision statement is that you don’t actually have to achieve it. But you must always be working toward it. Why such a lofty goal?

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

Well, a couple of things spurred me into action. In March, my middle child was diagnosed with a dust mite allergy. It requires keeping the house -- especially the child’s sleeping area – meticulously clean. No carpets,

R0012883629

wrapped beds, no open shelving, no stuffed toys. The uncluttering process for my son was the catalyst for the change. But it wasn’t until the summer – after many weeks of camping – that I realized more needed to be done. While camping, I felt so peaceful. At home, I felt stressed and anxious, even when there was nothing to truly be worried about. And all the kids seemed to do was fight. One evening as I glanced around our main floor, I realized that every surface – bookshelves, piano top, desktops, coffee tables, the mantle – was cluttered. There wasn’t a single place in the room I could direct my eye. Everywhere I looked there were children’s toys and books, sheet music, crayons, tools, party dishes, sunglasses, socks, CDs and magazines. Without a thought, I grabbed two very large black contractor garbage bags. In one I started dumping paper recycling. In another I stowed away items for donation. Just like that, I transformed the space into a retreat. I was inspired. I decided if I could do the main floor so quickly, our basement surely wouldn’t be too difficult to unclutter. Boy, was I wrong.

The basement, after all, is home to the toy cupboard, the storage cupboard and seasonal things like boots and snowsuits. If I was going to make a dent, I would have to be ruthless. The first thing to go was the sofa, which has always been too big for the space. I then sold a bookshelf and an old kitchen table. Twenty contractor bags of toy, book and trinket donations later, the space was completely empty and the storage cupboard trimmed down with everything in matching, clear storage bins. (No labels required). My gut instinct was to fill it up again – a new, smaller sofa, I decided. But my husband put the brakes on that idea. “Let’s leave it empty for now,” he said. “Let’s see what empty feels like.” You know what? It felt great. The kids could take their toys out individually from the storage cupboard and put them away when they were done. They could dance on the carpet. They could even play miniature hockey down there. I really thought we’d finally made it. And then my cousin called: “Can I rent a room from you for a semester?”

We decided to renovate my office for him – it needed to be reinsulated anyway. But first, it had to be emptied – floor-to-ceiling shelves, storage closet, filing cabinets. I had no idea how much stuff one could store in a single room. Three weeks later, we have successfully emptied and renovated the room, sorted through 90 per cent of its contents and, in the process rid ourselves of 20 more contractor bags of recycling and donations. The only problem? The last 10 per cent is now in the basement. Despite ruthlessly discarding children’s artwork, diaries, work notes and decades-old tax documents, there is a week’s worth of sorting to be done before I get anywhere close to emptying the basement again. As a professional organizer told me recently, “the last 10 per cent takes 90 per cent of the energy.” But it will get done. I have realized that owning things requires a level of space and responsibility that I don’t have and don’t want. Clean lines, empty shelves and open floor space have made all of us feel less stressed. The children argue less in an empty room. They play more because without the clutter, they can find the toys and books they really want. As for me, I’m spending most evenings in the living room chair, looking at the clean surfaces, breathing deeply, and dreaming of an empty basement.

ry-old trees were uprooted or snapped off at the base when the storm rolled through at around 4 p.m. on Aug. 5. A total of 17,000 households lost power, some remaining in the dark for more than a day due to power line damage caused by falling trees and branches. Under sunny, weekend skies, cyclists and pedestrians were out in

force in Andrew Haydon Park and Britannia Park, expressing astonishment over the power needed to cause such damage. Both parks took the brunt of the storm, with toppled trees and storm-tossed branches littering bike paths and play areas. A Carling Avenue crosswalk adjacent to Andrew Haydon Park was buried under the canopy of a massive fallen oak tree. The damage seemed to be worse in neighbourhoods bordering Britannia Bay – Bayshore, Belltown, Pinecrest and Richmond Heights. In front of Richmond Heights Apartments near Richmond Road and High Street, children played on the upturned roots of fallen trees while the adults questioned whether something had “touched down” in their neighbourhood. Due to a crushed hydro pole, power was still off in the high-rise in the afternoon of Sept. 6. Power briefly returned earlier in the day, but failed 15 minutes later after residents reported hearing a loud “boom.” While the Ottawa Airport recorded gusts of 70 km/h, winds near Britannia Bay were much higher. Paul Wagner, public relations director for the Nepean Sailing Club, said that facility’s on-site weather station

Lightning strikes as a powerful thunderstorm rolls over west Ottawa in the afternoon of Sept. 5. The storm’s high winds caused extensive damage to trees and hydro infrastructure. recorded sustained winds of 93 km/h, with higher gusts. “One of our wind indicators went haywire,” he said after reviewing the data. “It was a pretty significant weather event.” Wagner said some smaller sailboats located on shore sustained damage – some were overturned and had broken masts. “To blow the boats (over) like that, it’s going to be a big and sustained

wind,” said Wagner, adding that the area is known for “unusual” winds. The Ottawa Valley and positioning of the Eardley Escarpment to the north can create a “boxed-in” situation, he said, funneling winds towards the Britannia shoreline if a storm system approaches from the right direction. A Britannia Yacht Club spokesperson said sailors there reported (unofficial) wind gusts of 120 km/h, which caused some damage on site.

according to the report. Admissions were up by 2,900 visits this year over last, and are 78 per cent higher than in 2009/2010. The largest increases were seen in 16-18 year-olds seeking help for anxiety, psychosis, substance abuse and suicidal thoughts. While these numbers sound alarming, there is reason to believe they are proof of more of more young people heeding the growing call to seek help – an act once mired in stigma. “We don’t think this is proof of a dramatic increase in the occurrence of mental health in youth, but we do think more young people today are feeling OK in the choice to seek help,” said Karen Tataryn, director of mental health at CHEO and regional director for specialized children and youth services at CHEO and the Royal. “Obviously, there are conversations that can take place about new stresses that children and youth are experiencing, including bulling … We don’t have the data right now to know whether the occurrence of these issues is increasing.” Tataryn said that in the last few years, dialogue and awareness surrounding youth mental health and suicide has increased greatly, especially in Ottawa. She alluded to the aftermath of the high-profile deaths of teens Daron Richardson and Jamie Hubley, launched the issue to the forefront of the public’s

consciousness. “The courage and bravery of their parents … has been successful, in that people are now seeking help,” said Tataryn. Both CHEO and the Royal are countering the growing tide of distressed youth looking for help through tailored programming that give young people and their families tools to deal with their situation. Taking a citywide approach, both hospitals have teamed up with community partners such as Ottawa Public Health and the Youth Services Bureau - in creating their programs. In April, 2013, all four entities launched the Bridges program, an intensive treatment program for high-risk teens who have been involved with inpatient and crisis services. Funding was also sourced from the Champlain Local Health Improvement Network. “It’s an individualized approach,” said Tataryn said of Bridges. “When a patient is discharged from the hospital, we thought it would be beneficial to have a few days a week of therapy.” A body of psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists and youth counsellors is on hand to provide oneon-one or group counselling, where the youth and medical professional work to develop strategies to manage stress. “We’ve seen good outcomes in our first year,” said Tataryn. “Between 12 and 15 weeks into

the program there’s a marked decrease in their symptoms.” Recently, CHEO and the Royal began offering dialectical behavior therapy for that same group of high-risk youth, while helping their parents and caregivers understand the issues faced by their youth. Earlier this year, the Royal launched its HealthyMinds mental wellness app to help teens deal with stresses and mental health issues. E-consultations between mental health specialists and MDs can be now be arranged to bring better care to young patients who sought out their family doctor for help. Numerous other programs and initiatives offered by the city’s mental health providers aim to reduce the harm that comes from mental health issues in youth. The strategy, said Tataryn, is to ensure that there is help available for all youth in all situations. Making sure those already in a crisis recover fully, while preventing other illnesses from progressing, are among the keys to addressing the issue. A full list of youth mental health resources is available online at ementalhealth. ca, while important links are also included on the websites of both CHEO and the Royal. Schools and resource centres have been stocked with this information, to ensure it is at hand whenever, and wherever, a child needs it.

Cyclist dies in crash during fifth-annual Ride the Rideau Adam Kveton, Erin McCracken, & Laura Mueller adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Organizers of the Ride the Rideau fundraising bicycle ride say it’s too early to comment on the future of the event after a female participant died in a collision with a garbage truck during the fifth-annual event on Sept. 6. The woman was identified by the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group as Laurie Strano, the centre’s director of quality, patient safety and risk management. Ottawa Hospital president and CEO Dr. Jack Kitts said Strano had participated in Ride the Rideau every year since the event started. The event, which raises millions for cancer research, was cut short as a precaution to clear the area for police, according to a news release from the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. Police received a call about three minutes after 11 a.m. in relation to a crash between a cyclist and a BFI garbage truck on River Road just south of

Doyle Road, said Insp. John Medeiros after arriving at the scene. Between seven and 10 people were witness to the collision, said Medeiros. At a news conference on Monday, Sept. 8, Kitts said a number of senior managers from the hospital were riding with Stranos and witnessed the crash. They and other witnesses are receiving support from the hospital’s social-work team, Kitts said. The rest of the more than 900 riders participating in the event were bused back to the Ernst and Young Centre on Uplands Drive where the race began. Ottawa police are continuing to investigate the collision and its causes. The collision was not a case of hit-and-run, said Medeiros, as the driver of the garbage truck remained at the scene, co-operating with police. A family member of the deceased cyclist came to the scene as well, he said. The cyclist was biking northbound on River Road when the collision occurred,

Police officers remove a yellow sheet from a twisted bike wheel at the scene of a collision between a truck and a cyclist during the Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s Ride the Rideau event on Sept. 6. The cyclist, Laurie Strano, was pronounced dead at the scene. said Medeiros. The investigation will help inform any decisions about the future of the Ride the Rideau event or its route, Tim Kluke president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, said during the Sept. 8 news conference. “We are not in a position

fo en S r cl ee ou o r Se fl d ye r

today to talk about any consideration around the future of the ride,” he said. Additional road closures will be part of those considerations, he added. The 85-kilometre route includes a number of road closures, particularly around the start of the course, and roads that are open to ve-

hicular traffic. Kluke himself was participating in the event for the second time and said he felt safe during the ride, but noted some areas are “more challenging.” “As a rider, you’re always concentrating,” he said. Another participant, Hayden Fraser, was not far behind when the collision took place. While he said he felt safe while sharing the road with motorists, there were a couple of incidents in which he felt motorists didn’t leave enough distance between him and their vehicles. “There were some close calls,” Fraser said. “I never felt threatened at all by vehicles but there were instances where cars did pass (me) quite closely.” And from what he observed during the road race, cyclists were adhering to the rules that organizers of the event had set out before it got underway and riding as close as possible to the right edge of the road. At the beginning of the road race, participants cycled in packs along the roadway, but

later spaced out and largely cycled single file, Fraser said. “I don’t think there was any more than two abreast at any stage,” he said Police had been contracted to work several intersections and re-direct vehicles for a portion of the ride as a safety measure, said Medeiros. However, police were contracted to work specific busy intersections north of where the collision occurred. “So there wouldn’t have been any police security,” he said. Kluke outlined the safety measures race organizers put in place, including a number of ride guides who are experienced in the route and travel along with participants. Ride the Rideau organizers consult with the city and police when planning the route. River Road, where the collision occurred, has been part of the route since the event’s inception, said Danielle St-Aubin of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. While it was raining the morning of the ride, Kluke said a meteorological service hired by Ride the Rideau indicated the rain would dissipate as the morning progressed, so the ride wasn’t cancelled.

The ‘professor’ is in A statue honouring Frank Clair, considered the greatest coach in Ottawa’s Canadian Football League history, is unveiled by Clair’s daughter Robin Clair Mason and Ottawa RedBlacks owner Jeff Hunt on Sept. 5. The statue of Clair, which was created by Brian Hanlon, overlooks the field at TD Place stadium where Clair coached the Rough Riders from 1956 to 1969. Clair’s Ottawa teams won three Grey Cups while he was coach and two more while he was general manager. Russ Jackson, a former quarterback who played with Clair for his entire career, said Clair ‘was a player’s coach and we all respected him for that.’ The statue of Clair, who was known as ‘the professor,’ is located at Gate 6.

Watson commits to boosting housing funding Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Housing and homelessness initiatives in Ottawa would get a $2 million boost if he’s re-elected, Mayor Jim Watson said in his first campaign policy announcement. The extra funding would build on the $14 million in annual funding

Watson touted during his last election campaign in 2010. The money came from the extra $25 million in money the city is getting back from the province as it “uploads” some of the costs for some of the provincial programs the city administers. The promise of another $2 million would come from the same source – an expected $5 million annual up-

load starting in 2015. The housing and funding homelessness funding commitments would add up to $16 million per year and $64 million over the course of the four-year term. Based on his observation, Watson said the best way to divvy up the funds would be to put half the money towards rent supplements and housing allowances for people to use towards market-rate rentals, 25 per cent towards community supports aimed at preventing people from becoming homeless in the first

place and 25 per cent towards repairs of existing housing units. Watson also committed to reducing the number of people who use shelters by 15 per cent over the next five years. That would mean assisting about 1,000 to get the support they need to avoid having to stay at emergency shelters. Watson highlighted an 80 per cent reduction in the number of people living in the street as achievements from the funding allocated during this term of council. The housing

waiting list has “stabilized” over the last four years as 575 affordable housing units have been approved, are under construction or built. But although the city saw an 18 per cent drop in families needing emergency shelter over the last four years, Watson noted those families had to stay in shelters longer – 98 nights in 2013, as opposed to 88 nights the year before. Close collaboration between the city and its housing partners is needed to reverse that trend, Watson said.

Women invited to sing at new afternoon choir Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Nancy Greig will never forget the day an older woman marched into the choir rehearsal room ready to sing her heart out. “She came up the stairs, just full of determination and she said, ‘I’m 60 years old. I’ve been told all my life not to sing and I’m going to sing.’” Greig said. “And she loves it. She’s having a ball.” The woman’s experience is sadly not unique, reason why Shout Sister! community choirs with hundreds of female members have sprung up across Ontario. A third Ottawa choir launched in Alta Vista on Sept. 10. “A lot of women were quite scarred by (the experience of not being allowed to sing in public choirs) and have never sung,” said Greig, who manages all 17 choirs in Ontario, and directs an afternoon choir in Kingston. The first Shout Sister! Choir

began about 13 years ago after a vocal coach in Kingston saw Whoopi Goldberg’s film Sister Act, which features Catholic nuns shirking the rules and belting out songs they love and moving to the music with abandon. There was just one hitch to Georgette Fry’s dream. The Juno-nominated professional jazz-and-blues singer couldn’t read music. She still can’t, but it turns out it didn’t matter. With the encouragement of her private vocal students, Fry held inaugural choir rehearsals, during which almost 200 women showed up over two nights. “It was huge,” Greig said. Shout Sister! Choir came to Ottawa five years ago; a second was formed a year later. Combined, there are 180 members – one group rehearses at Woodroffe United Church on Thursday evenings, while the other group practices at St. Barnabas, Apostle and Martyr Anglican Church on Kent Street on Tuesday nights.

Members of two Shout Sister! Choirs based downtown and in west Ottawa perform during a concert last year. A new afternoon choir recently launched in south Ottawa at Rideau Park United Church. “We combine the two choirs for the year-end concert and when we get together, I think last year there were 110 voices,” said Vanier resident Jody Benjamin, who directs the Ottawa choirs. “It sounds fantastic.” She is also directing the new afternoon choir at Rideau Park

United Church every Wednesday. It will be a busy year filled with weekly rehearsals, a few performances at nursing homes and a year-end charity concert, which allows the members to give back to their community. “‘We’re all about love,

Canlok Stone

peace and understanding – and singing.’ That’s what Georgette says,” said Greig, who was Fry’s personal manager for years. The choirs welcome all women and every level of talent. There are no auditions, participants don’t have to know how to read music, and they can move to the music. “We encourage them to loosen up and dance around and move and do however they feel,” said Benjamin. “A lot of choirs are pretty formal and they expect you to be at practice and you get heck if you miss. You’re told how to stand and what to wear and how to smile and all that stuff, and this one is none of that.” Members can become familiar with the song selections by listening to pre-recorded tracks on the Shout Sister! website. “Learn it like you’ve always learned the songs on the radio,” said Greig. The new afternoon choir provides options to women who are home during the day

Arts Court builder gets go-ahead for big addition Boutique hotel to occupy tower in arts hub redevelopment Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - With glowing reviews from local arts groups, the city’s finance committee approved a partnership to expand Arts Court. The consortium chosen for the project – EBC Inc., DevMcGill and Groupe Germain – plans to build a boutique-style hotel in the tower at the Daly Street-Waller Street corner of the city-owned site. When the city planned out the redevelopment – a process that’s been in the works since 2007 – a tower was included as a way to raise money for the project by selling the development rights. Groupe Germain plans to

build a 21-storey building with a hotel occupying the first 12 floors and condos on the remaining floors. With hotels in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Calgary, Groupe Germain lays claim to having built Canada’s first boutique hotel. The concept is based on each property having its own unique personality and style, the company’s website states. In Ottawa, Groupe Germain is already building another hotel-condo project called Alt, located on Slater Street and set to open in September of 2016. The new tower at Arts Court will be designed by Quebec City architecture firm Régis Côté et Associés. Other changes to the ByWard Market-area arts hub will include the addition of a 250-seat screening and multipurpose room, an expanded 4,000-square metre space for the Ottawa Art Gallery and

four classrooms and a blackbox theatre for the University of Ottawa. Mayor Jim Watson said cultural tourism is the fastest growing element of the tourism industry and it’s important to highlight the city’s local talent. “While we’ve been wellserved by national institutions, we also have a very dynamic and vibrant local arts community,” Watson said, noting the redevelopment could be seen as a “legacy project” marking Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, when it will be completed. There was some hesitation on the part of finance committee members when it came to the tentative deal that would see the university pay $9 million for its space. That agreement hasn’t been finalized and some councillors worried the school could pull out. If it falls through, the committee

was told the black-box theatre would be removed from the project and the classroom space would be repurposed and city staff would report back to the committee with ideas for alternative tenants for that space. The cost of the project to the city is $35 million. Of that, $4.5 million from the sale of development rights for the tower and $3.2 million from the fundraising efforts of the tenant arts groups at Arts Court. Those fundraising efforts will be bolstered by the city’s

donation of naming rights for the building. The coalition of arts groups will seek sponsors to name components of the new building in exchange money to put towards construction. Selling the naming rights is an essential component of that fundraising effort, said Lawson Hunter, chairman of the Ottawa Art Gallery’s board of directors. “We are confident in achieving the goal,” he said. “But the naming rights will be a key component of our ability to ful-

fill our funding obligations.” If all goes to plan, the new Ottawa Art Gallery and uOttawa space would be completed by February of 2017. The existing space would be repurposed and refurbished by October of 2017 and the tower would be done a month later. The city passed over two other consrotiums that wanted to build the tower: Mizrahi Developments/Bondfield Construction Company Ltd. and the District Development Group (Broccolini and Moriyama & Teshima Architects).

Plenty to see and do at Ottawa’s animation festival Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Ottawa’s downtown will become a little more animated this month. On screens across the area-- the Bytowne Cinema, the National Gallery of Canada, Arts Court, Chateau Laurier, St. Brigids, SilverCity and the Ottawa Little Theatre -- this year’s Ottawa International Animation Festival promises to offer the edgiest, most innovative animation the world has to offer from Sept. 17 to 21. “There is no shortage of things to do or see, that’s for sure,” said artistic director Chris Robinson. “There are so many events going on.” Now in its 38th year, the animation festival welcomes artists and industry professionals from around the world and features films from leading animators, one-on-one talks and workshops with professionals as well as an opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s pioneers. Each year the festival welcomes around 28,000 artists, producers, students and fans to Ottawa. On Robinson’s must-do and see list, there are a number of events geared towards families and children

-- everything from free workshops and family-friendly screenings to a children-led jury to judge either the short films made for kids program at 11 a.m. or the animated TV series made for kids at 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 at the National Gallery of Canada. At the screening, the jury will meet and decide on the winners and present the award that evening. And if heading downtown for the festival seems a little daunting, this year festival organizers will host an all-Disney event at the SilverCity Gloucester in the east end. The event will feature a screening of a new Disney short film as well as the classic feature The Little Mermaid. Robinson said the festival decided to take a portion of the festival outside of the downtown core to attract more people from the wider community, helping to appeal people beyond animators and animation lovers. “We are well established with the animation world but we are constantly fighting to reach out to the general public,” Robinson said. “The festival started in the late 1970s to bring animators together, which is fine, but then you are just showing animation films to the converted. This is a way to reach out to the general public and

Disney Animation Studios’ classic film The Little Mermaid will screen at this year’s Ottawa International Animation Festival, during a special ‘Disney day’ on Sept. 21 at SilverCity Gloucester at 1 p.m. featuring Disney seemed a great way to do it.” Overall the festival will feature Disney Animation Studios, with a series of screenings, talks, exhibitions, legendary Disney animators including Ron Clements and John Musker, the directors of the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and the Princess and the Frog. “I think a lot of people will be excited about Disney… having them (Clements and Musker) here, we are very lucky,” Robinson said. “They are

going to tell stories about what it’s like working for Disney.” There will also be a special art exhibition created by local artists called Disney Made Me Do It. The art focuses on how Disney Animation Studios has inspired these particular artists. The vernisage will take place on Sept. 18 at the Ottawa Arts Court beginning at 5 p.m. The exhibition will be available for viewing throughout the festival. According to Robinson, there are

plenty of opportunities to volunteer during the five-day festival and volunteers get free passes to festival screenings and workshops if they work two full shifts. The festival also sees high volunteer participation from local colleges and universities. “Algonquin has been by far the biggest supplier of volunteers and participants,” Robinson said. He credited the interest to the college’s animation program. Of the screenings and showcases during the festival, Algonquin College student Dougall Dawson’s short film The Plug will compete for the best Canadian Student Animation award for the Canadian Student Competition. For up-and-coming animators, Robinson said the festival is a great place to meet people and start a career in the industry. As well, Robinson said the winners of the Short Film Competition have been considered for an Academy Award. “In terms of studios, people are always getting picked up, looking for talent and new ideas,” Robinson said. Tickets and more information about the festival is available at animationfestival.ca.

Church hopes charity mugs runeth over Sale of eclectic collection to help fund St. Matthew’s roof repair Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Community - St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in the Glebe has more than 3,000 beer mugs in its possession. The mugs, donated by Derele Scharfe, were collected by Scharfe’s father, Milton Erele Armstrong, over the course of many years. Scharfe said she donated the mugs to the church because it is where her parents were married in 1942.

“My parents would be very pleased that the mugs were given to St. Matthew’s, and especially pleased that there will be an event to sell the steins,” Scharfe said. As a result of the donation, church will host, Mugs and Suds on Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The beer stein sale will feature beer from the Clocktower Brew Pub and the Polished Brass Quintet will entertain guests in the church’s parking lot. Revenues from the sale are earmarked for the restoration of the church’s aging roof. “This is certainly different from anything we have ever done before,” said Margret Nankivell, a member of the church’s fundraising committee.

For 14 years, Leslie and Derele Scharfe kept Derele’s father’s collection of beer mugs in storage, simply waiting for the right opportunity. The couple recently donated the 3,000 mugs to St. Matthew’s Church in the Glebe, where Derele’s parents were married 72 years ago. The church is holding a sale of the mugs on Sept. 27 to help raise money for the church’s aging roof.

Grilled brunch burritos make for fun meal Lifestyle - This makes a fun meal to serve outside because the foil keeps them warm until serving and catches any drips. Try them over the campfire or barbecue. Vary the heat in the sauce to taste and for a vegetarian version, omit the chorizo. Preparation time: 40 minutes. Cooking time: 10 to 12 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients

• 4 eggs • 15 ml (1 tbsp) milk • 5 ml (1 tsp) each chili powder and ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced sweet red pepper • 75 ml (1/3 cup) diced mild or hot smoked chorizo sausage • 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter • 25 ml (2 tbsp) each light sour

cream and light mayonnaise • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh lime juice • Hot sauce (optional) • 4 23-centimetre (9-inch) whole wheat tortillas, warmed • 12 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved • 2 green onions, sliced • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander • 1 l (4 cups) baby spinach leaves Preparation

In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, chili powder, cumin and salt until blended. Stir in the red pepper and chorizo. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and cook the egg mixture, stirring occasionally, until it’s set but still moist. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayon-

naise, lime juice and hot sauce (if using) until smooth. Spoon one-quarter of the egg mixture down the centre of each tortilla, leaving about a 2.5-centimetre (1-inch) border at the edge. Arrange the tomatoes, onions and coriander on the egg mixture. Drizzle the sour cream mixture over the filling and pile the spinach on top. Fold over the sides and ends, tucking in the spinach and roll up. Wrap each tortilla snugly in a 23-centimetre (9-inch) piece of foil and seal the ends. Heat a panini grill on medium-high heat and grill the burritos for five to seven minutes or until grill marks appear on the tortilla, opening the foil to check. Let cool for a couple of minutes and slice in half diagonally right through foil. Foodland Ontario

‘Raise your glasses to help us raise the roof’ Continued from page 25

When first approached with the idea of taking possession of thousands of beer mugs last September, Nankivell said they had to ask Scharfe to hold off. “There was no way we could handle taking the mugs, cleaning them and finding storage space at the time,” Nankivell said. Scharfe was patient and donated the mugs last May. Nankivell said when the committee received them; they simply sat and stared at them. “We were sitting around and thinking of what we were going to do with all these mugs,” she said. “The fundraising committee is a very active one, but it took some time to come up with a way to sell the mugs and welcome

people to the church.” According to Nankivell, the collection of steins is quite eclectic. It includes mugs from Canadian, American and European breweries as well as universities, corporations, and face mugs. Mugs are stoneware, salt-glazed, porcelain, metal, glass and even wood. According to the church, an unusual china mug was identified as former British prime minister Neville Chamberlain and dates back to the late 1930s. Other face mugs include former Canadian prime minister John Diefenbaker. The church will sell beer in a free mug for $5. Other steins will vary in price, depending on whether it’s a rare item or not. Some will only be available as part of a silent auction.

Nankivell, who has taken charge of other silent auctions for the church, said she was amazed at how much information about pricing was available for the committee online. “The mugs alone make this unusual,” said Rev. Pat Johnston. “People will have a really great time listening to the music and sampling the beer from Clocktower. So raise your glasses to help us raise the roof.” Johnston said she hopes to find a mug from Laurentian University, where her son studied. Nankivell said she believes it’s entirely possible to find a Laurentian mug – or any style of mug from anyone’s past. “If you are looking for something specific, actually, we might just have it,” she said.

f Mother had followed Father’s advice, we would have bypassed the Renfrew fair that year. Our Montreal cousins were with us, and Terry the youngest would have been no trouble, but the eldest, Ronny, was another matter all together. But Mother thought a face to face talk with Ronny before the old model T left the barn yard would be sufficient to insure his best behaviour. She didn’t have to go over the ground rules with the rest of us. We knew them by heart: stay together, no squabbling, don’t sit on the seat in the outdoor privy, and

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories once our quarter was gone, there was no more money to squander. Ronny said he understood perfectly. The Renfrew Fair was just about the most exciting place to be on a fall day. My three brothers were usually flat

broke in less than an hour. Whereas my sister Audrey and I took ages to make up our minds how we wanted to spend our quarters. We had gone to the fair early Saturday evening that year. It wasn’t the best time to go, because organizers

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I knew where I was all the timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: Ronny Continued from page 28

We were ordered to fan out like a search party looking for someone lost in the bush. We started to get panicky when we saw the fair board beginning to dismantle the displays in the hall. A group of ladies from the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute was folding quilts,

and putting the baking in large baskets. Audrey and I were posted at the door just in case he had wandered out and would come back to look for us. The hall was emptying quickly. Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look of anger was fast turning to a look of panic. As was usual for me, when I got scared or distressed, I

started to cry. We had been looking for Ronny for an hour. I was convinced he had been hauled off by one of the carnival workers. The hall was almost stripped. Everyone but the workers had gone home. All that was left were the grain displays and the tall stalks of corn tied into bundles and standing along

one wall. A few farmers were moving into position to take away even those last remnants of the Renfrew Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? they said when asked if they had seen a young boy with blonde hair who looked like he was lost. Mother thought she should go and look for the police. One of the farmers thought

that might be a good idea, as he moved over to the tall stalks of corn. He lifted the first two bundles and tossed them on his shoulders. His tall lanky son reached for the third. When he lifted it from the wall, there was Ronny sitting behind the corn stalks looking out at us with sheer delight and devilment written all over his face. Mother was so mad she swung her purse at him and caught the farmer square

on the side of his head. He recovered quickly, and made a grab for the young villain. But Mother beat him to it. She grabbed Ronny by the scruff of the neck and hauled him to his feet, which never touched the floor all the way out of the building. Father was wearing his, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told you soâ&#x20AC;? look. Finally Ronny looked Mother in the eye and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why everyone is so mad. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost. I knew where I was all the time.â&#x20AC;?

Sunday brunches start at Canadian Museum of Nature Ottawa East News staff

News - The Canadian Museum of Nature has announced it will be serving up a new kind of event series this fall. The museum announced it will host a Nature Brunch series on Sundays in 2014 and 2015, stating it’s a new way to promote both delicious local and exotic dishes, coupled with the opportunity to explore the museum’s many exhibitions. The brunches will be served as a buffet, with an assortment of meats, salads, cheese, pastries, deserts and local harvest. During the holiday

seasons, there will be specialties from different cultures. A total of eight brunches will be offered. The first brunch was planned to take place on Grandparent’s Day, Sept. 7. The other scheduled dates are Oct. 12 for Thanksgiving, a multicultural holiday brunch on Dec. 14, a Valentine’s Day-themed brunch on Feb. 15, a Canadian sugar bush brunch on March 22, a sampling of Arctic foods on April 26, a Mother’s Day brunch on May 10 and a Father’s Day brunch on June 21. The menus will be developed by

chef William Carter of Gourmet Cuisine. “The themes reflect different cultures, holidays and traditions,” said Meg Beckel, the museum’s president. “For our Arctic festival, chef Carter, who has lived in the North, will share his experience by preparing an Arctic  buffet of appetizing dishes that most people have likely never tasted before.” Prices will include museum admission. People are encouraged to check out the museum’s exhibitions after the food. Brunch will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

to sniff, taste and appreciate “Uisge Beatha” – the water of life, she added. Each guest will receive four flights of scotch, paired with four different appetizers provided by the Mill Tavern in Manotick. “When the guests are tasting, they’ll have more than one different flavour to pair it with, so you can learn how each flavour impacts the whisky,” Geoffrion said. Throughout the evening, guests can learn about the origins of Scotch, various Scotch-producing regions and the factors influencing all the wonderful characteristics inside each sample. Skeggs will discuss the whisky-making process and the roles of the distillery craftsmen, including the maltster, the mashman, the stillman and the maltmaster. Tickets are $50 per person, or $40 for Watson’s Mill members. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Watson’s Mill between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily, or online at eventbrite. com. Only 80 tickets are available, and Geoffrion expects to sell out.

Jane woke with a headache. She wasn’t really surprised. After all it was New Year’s Day. But when the headache was still there days later, her doctor suggested she go to emergency. A scan showed she had a brain tumor and surgery confirmed it was brain cancer. She died a little more than two years later.

Those were difficult years. At times, the day program at the hospice became a refuge where Jane could share her fears with others whose end-of-life was in sight. At others, it was the place she went to escape and paint or watch the butterflies in the garden. Jane didn’t die at the hospice. Because beds are scarce other arrangements were made. I felt guilty when Jane died. She was my younger sister so I should have gone first. At the same time I was angry with her. She had promised to share the care of our elderly parents. And my anger made me feel even more guilty. But a counsellor at the hospice helped me to understand that this was part of grieving. Now I can remember her with only sadness and love.

Salsa night to help PROUDLY PR fight children cancers Michelle Nash

News - A bunch of “good guys” are asking the community to put on its dancing shoes to help end childhood cancer. The Good Guys Tri is only weeks away from the organization’s big event, the Sears Great Canadian Run to End Kids Cancer – a 100 kilometre run from Ottawa to Montebello on Oct. 4. Leading up to the big day, many of the organization’s members have hosted

events to help raise funds for pediatric oncology initiatives at local research institutions such as the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Past events have included golf tournaments, treadmill challenges and pizza parties, but on Sept. 13 organizer Gesine Freund is hoping people will get ready to two-step for the cause. “It’s something I like to do,” Freund said. “Last year my focus has been on the running, so I

Gesine Freund finishes last year’s 100-km run from Ottawa to Montebello, Que. The team is hosting a number of fundraising events leading up to this year’s run on Oct. 4, including a salsa dancing night on Sept. 13. thought maybe the week before I do the big 100 kilometre run I could pull out dancing shoes.” A Night out Dancing will take place at Maxwell’s Bistro and Nightclub in Centretown at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are a $30 donation per person at dance2endkidscancer.ca. Freund said she loves salsa dancing and thought the growing popularity of the style would work well for a fundraiser. The event is open to anyone – whether they know how to dance or are interested in learning. “You don’t have to know how to dance to come out and have a good time,” she said. “The more the merrier.” Introduction lessons will be offered at the event after which participants can simply dance the night away, Freund said. There will be draws and prizes during the evening, as well as a silent auction. Since its inception in 2011, the organization has raised more than $115,000 for their cause – donating money to both national and local charities. The group has only one motto – to do good – and Freund said she is proud to be a part of the team and having adopted the “good guy” attitude. This year the some team members will participate in two 100 kilometre runs, one in Toronto on Sept. 20 which runners will run from Toronto to Blue Mountain and the Ottawa run in October. Holding two runs is aimed at creating more interest and raising more awareness for the organization and its cause.

Expert to shine spotlight on dementia at upcoming lecture Erin McCracken

Sept. 16 presentation in Alta Vista. Dementia refers to several different brain disorders, according to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, and describes a host of symptoms, including impaired memory, judgment and reasoning, which can become severe enough to impact a person’s day-to-day life. More people than ever have various stages of dementia or know someone who does because people are living longer, said McIntosh, who worked for 25 years in geriatric care as a social worker before she retired. The topic is a timely issue, reason why the Ottawa Council of Women, a coalition of about 15 organizations, wanted to host the educational event, said McIntosh. The council chapter is part of a 125-year-old national council which advocates for women’s issues. “The medical doctors used to say that if you live long enough you’re probably going to get dementia, but some people are going to get diagnosed

News - Overwhelmed by multi-tasking, poor organizational skills, judgment and insight are just a few of the signs that someone may be in the early stages of dementia. A person may remember who they went to school with years ago, as well as old friends, but not what they ate for breakfast or even where they are driving. “It sometimes looks like forgetfulness around immediate things,” said Beverlee McIntosh, volunteer health committee convener with the Ottawa Council of Women, which is hosting an upcoming free public lecture on dementia. Dr. Andrew Frank, a cognitive and behavioural neurologist and medical director of the Bruyère Memory Clinic at the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital in Ottawa will speak about available treatment and medical care for those with dementia, as well as signs and symptoms, among other issues, during a

ago was very basic compared to today’s sophisticated assessments, which allow more people to be diagnosed – and helped – sooner, she said. Often, families suspect something has changed – their loved one may be more irritable or depressed, they might not want to go out anymore or enjoy doing the things they once did. It might be dementia, but it might be something else, and that’s why the upcoming presentation will prove useful, McIntosh said. “It’s a complex diagnosis,” the Hintonburg resident said. The public lecture, What is normal, and what is dementia? takes place on Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. at Rideau Park United Church, at the corner of Alta Vista Drive and Cunningham Avenue. Admission is free, and while pre-registration is not required, it is appreciated for planning purposes.

creasing, it’s that more people are living longer,” said McIntosh, who, in her role as a social worker, helped many

families and patients come to terms with a dementia diagnosis, working with them to determine next steps, such as deciding on long-term care and beginning estate planning. There are many different types of dementia. Many are familiar with Alzheimer’s, but different parts of the brain can be affected by different types of dementia, including frontal temporal dementia, which impacts language. There is also vascular dementia, which is characterized by little strokes in the brain that affect brain function, McIntosh said. Some people with dementia may appear to be functioning well. “That’s often why it was hard to diagnose,” McIntosh said, but while they may still appear to be doing OK, even make their own meals, upon closer inspection the food in the fridge may be rotting, the bills may be unpaid and they may be letting in strangers to the home.

News - Thousands of people lacing up their sneakers and flooding downtown Ottawa for the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend this May trans-

We have our volunteers, sponsors and partners to thank for that.” The Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance’s findings, released Sept. 2, were based on results of an email survey of 6,000 participants following the event. Of those who ran in or watched the races, 36,863 came from outside the National Capital Region, and 84 per cent spent one or more nights in the city. A similar economic assessment in 2012 found the event that year generated $27.8 million in the region. This year’s race featured the

schedule, surviving in her backyard is a plant’s first test. “This backyard I call the experimental farm,” she said. It also features small openings: “cheater paths” as she calls them for her two dogs to run, and space for her 10year-old son to play soccer. In the centre, which used to house a pergola swing, is an area with patio stones and seats. It’s been expanded now, but she originally removed the swing and covered the structure with a canopy and placed it over the stone. She makes use of evergreens, which are low-maintenance and don’t require replanting from year to year. She said if a property and garden is properly planned, it will look good year round, be functional for the family, and keep costs low over the long term. Mallet’s tips for gardening in Ottawa: • “It’s important to design

for all four seasons. I learned that the hard way,” she said. Evergreens are useful to keep the garden from looking bare in the winter. • Design the garden for the entire family’s needs. Families with dogs can leave three feet between the fence and plants for dogs to run. For kids, the addition of a pergola swing can be converted after

they grow by removing the swing and adding a canopy and patio stones. • Reflect the decor of a home in the garden. Mallet suggests viewing the garden in terms of rooms – cooking area, eating area, sitting area, and a work area for a shed and such out of view. • Repeat similar plant materials with either colour or

News - Candace Mallette never planned to become a landscape designer. She started as a mother on maternity leave, looking to spruce up her own Orléans backyard a little bit. Her career has now blossomed, and she began receiving international attention. “You don’t usually see a northern garden,” she said, adding most gardens featured in international gardening magazines are based in California. Mallette doesn’t pretend that her garden is in California, and uses evergreen plants like red twig dogwood, hydrangea limelight, Huron sunrise miscanthus and globosa blue spruce to create a useable space year round. Years ago, when she was expanding her own garden, friends began to ask for help

with their own landscaping. She ended up studying online through the University of Guelph’s landscape architecture program, and was hired to help a friend design a garden professionally. She then decided to leave her full-time job to start a landscape design company, called Candace Mallette Landscape and Garden Design. “I wasn’t expecting to do this – I wasn’t expecting to love it,” she said. Mallette is unique because she looks at the property as a whole, while she said most companies focus on hardscaping, such as decks. Softscaping, in contrast, is more plantbased. “I think we are one of the only ones who focus on softscaping and design for the full yard,” she said. She uses her own functional garden as a laboratory of sorts. Without an irrigation system or a regular watering

texture. • Read tags and make note of what size they will grow to. Make sure to leave enough space to grow. • Plant perennials in groups of odd numbers. Grouping them together gives a natural flow. Even numbers make the eye break into groups instead of seeing the plants in a natural flow. • Keep the garden manageable with realistic maintenance times unless there are plans to hire a maintenance crew.

Ash borer now killing woodlots: city laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - When Melody Andeel heard the whir of saws behind her Orléans home a couple weeks ago, she already knew what was coming. When she went down to check it out, “it looked like a tornado went through,” Andeel said. Like so many areas across the city, Terry Fox Participark behind Andeel’s home was decimated by the emerald ash borer – a stubborn invasive beetle that is destroying urban trees across the city. It’s now made its way into woodlots, said David Barkley, the city’s forester. “What’s not known right now is what will happen with the woodlots,” Barkley said. “They are different than street trees.” In the woodlot behind Andeel’s Priory Lane home, workers told her an estimated 2,500 trees of all types and sizes were being removed in the process of cutting down

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Melanie Andeel and her dog Darby take a stroll through the formerly wooded Terry Fox Participark behind her Orléans home – one of the city woodlots that is now facing devastation from the emerald ash borer beetle. the large ashes. “It’s a really rude awakening,” she said. Andeel knew about the emerald ash borer and how it burrows feeding galleries for larva under the bark of ash trees, preventing the tree from absorbing nutrients – something that will inevitably kill it. But others in her condo corporation hadn’t heard of the ruth-

less insect and the complete devastation it is expected to bring to the city’s trees. By the time the infestation has run its course – in an estimated 10 years – the city estimates around 75,000 ashes will be lost, representing 25 per cent of the tree cover in the city. As of this June, more than 4,400 trees had been removed in the city – mostly

ash. Dutch elm disease is still claiming some trees, too according to the city. The National Capital Commission, which owns many of the city’s open spaces, including the Greenbelt, says it has cut down 1,000 dead ash trees on both sides of the Ottawa River this year. That’s the same number as the total number of trees that had been removed in the three previous years. In total, the NCC has identiﬁed 7,000 dead ash trees on its land, many of which have not been removed. On Priory Lane, that means sun – lots of it – where there used to be shade, countless stumps as far as the eye can see and branches strewn throughout a pathway that was a 1.5metre wide footpath with a fresh layer of stone dust, and is now a wide, churned up road. “I’ll never live long enough to see it in its former glory,” Andeel said. Trees will be replanted next spring as part of the city’s ongoing program to replace the

risk for falling trees, Barkley said. Ash trees can die in as little as a year after being infected, but it usually takes two to three years. The cost to remove each tree is $365. The city is trying to save and protect around 3,000 ash trees by injecting them with TreeAzin, a biological insecticide that can combat the ruthless beetles. The NCC says it has inoculated 200 trees since 2009. Tree Canada recently announced a donation of 30 litres of TreeAzin to be used to protect NCC trees in Leamy Lake Park and other urban parks in Ottawa and Gatineau. Canadian Forestry Services has another weapon it’s testing out in the ﬁght against the emerald ash borer: wasps. The federal agency has worked with a number of municipalities – including Ottawa – to release the wasps, a nonnative species that feeds on the beetles. The insects have been released multiple times in the same location, a process that involves introducing a piece of wood that contains the beetles along with the wasps so they have a feeding source, Barkley said.

September is Responsible Dog Ownership Month and part of being a good pet parent is setting up your dog for success. There’s no better way to start the school year off on the right paw than by teaching a dog some new tricks with obedience training. It is never too late or too early for your canine to benefit from basic obedience training and manners. Dog obedience training is one of the best things you can do to ensure a successful relationship with your dog. Here’s why: UÊ9 ÕÀÊ` }ÊÜ ÊÕ ìÀÃÌ> `ÊÀ } ÌÊ behaviours and will not be confused by inconsistent or misunderstood commands.

In celebration of Responsible Dog Ownership Month, adopt a canine companion this month from the OHS and sign up your furry pupil for some higher learning with an OHS obedience class for just $99. Adopt one of the four featured dogs and get 50 per cent off the cost of training — that’s a $70 savings on tuition!

lost ashes. In 2014, the city will spend $1.175 million to plant 110,000 new trees. The NCC said it’s too early to say how many trees it will replant this year, but the Crown corporation is following its emerald ash borer management strategy to ensure dying ash trees don’t pose a risk to public safety. The city will have to deal with more and more situations like the one in Orléans. The priority right now is to remove dead trees along pathways and parkland where they may become unsafe and put people at risk, Barkley said. Deeper into the woodlots, they’ll “let Mother Nature take its course,” he said. Woodlot ash removal is still “small scale,” Barkley said. There will be many more sites where trees will need to be removed next year, he said. There are between six to 10 crews, each with between two to four workers, out removing trees at any given time, Barkley said. So far, they’ve been able to keep up with the demand, even if it takes up to six months to get around to all the trees that need removing. That amount of intervening time doesn’t create a safety
