News - Tax breaks for new business developments on Carling Avenue will help create jobs in an economically depressed neighbourhood, the area city councillor says. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said tax rebates for property owners who redevelop or expand older buildings won’t just help the Carling commercial strip look better. “This area is the same area we have heard about several times in the news, with crime, violence and unpleasantness,” Taylor said. But people who live there don’t ask their city councillor to send more police cruisers to their neighbourhoods, Taylor said. “They say, ‘Could you please get us some decent, local, walkable employment opportunities?’” he said. The city’s finance and economic development committee approved the program on Sept.
3. The grants will offer a 75 per cent rebate on the incremental increase in property taxes for owners/developers who redevelop their sites that are currently developed or have been in the past. The grants would be available for a period of up to five years – if they meet the criteria upon reassessment each year. The grants are not available for so-called “greenfield” developments – first-time development of new sites. With a $200 million redevelopment of Bayshore Shopping Centre, the 10,000-employee Department of National Defence taking over the former Nortel campus at 3500 Carling Ave., improvements to nearby Accora Village and other local projects such as the new Inspiration Park – Bay Ward’s first new park in two decades – the community improvement plan will add to the upswing the area is about to experience, Taylor said.

used the pre-existing form of the Carling station as a canvas for her work, a water jet-cut porcelain mural designed to be affixed to the walls of the station. The shapes within the abstract mural “reflect plant and insect motifs of local flora and fauna,” said Berry, adding it also reflects a “semi-mobile quality” in keeping with a transit station. Covering a total of 66.3 square metres, the mural would contain vivid colours, to contrast with the cold, grey stone and concrete surroundings of the passenger platform. Shayne Dark is no stranger to public art installations, with five works currently underway. Dark proposed three different works to be located at three different locations. What resembles a cluster of rods, painted in the three primary colours, would be located at Greenboro, Carleton and Carling stations, either rising from supports or affixed to the station wall. The material used would be steel, and the vivid colours are designed to stimulate the minds of those who see it. “I’m a one-trick pony,” said Dark. “My artistic practice is using primary colours. It’s one of the easiest things to enjoy, and you don’t need an art background. The colours are emotive.” Members of the public were encouraged to provide feedback at the open house by way of comment sheets. These remasrks will be considered by a jury before it makes a final decision. The artistic panel is expected to decide on an artist within the next two weeks. Essentially, the chosen art will appear as soon as the artists can create it.

tailor their visions to the size of the funding envelope. Where the art would be located along the train line depends on where the artists felt their work would fit best. “There was a whole shopping list of locations the artists could consider,” said Annie Hillis, project coordinator of the Confederation Line public art program. “The rules stated they couldn’t impede safety, signage, or line of vision.” Marcus Kucey-Jones fielded his limestone sculpture at the viewing, proposed for the Carleton station. Titled “Time Traveller,” the sculpture depicts a human-shaped cutout emerging from a 2.13-metre -tall book, with the appropriate humanshaped hole left behind. “It references the university here, plus the whole idea of going on a journey and disembarking,” said Kucey-Jones. The grassy verge on the side of the Carleton station would be the sculpture’s home. Stuart Kinmond, an architect by trade, used the material he knows best – aluminum – in creating the concept for “locomotion.” The piece shows 14 aluminum poles rising 6.7 metres from the edge of the northbound Carleton station platform, with incomplete elements of the letter ‘O’ located partway up each pole. “The idea is that it defines where the station is,” said Kinmond. A red paint that refracts light would allow the work to be visible at night. Kinmond said his first attempt at a public art installation, like the others in the room, would have the durability required to weather Canadian winters. Judith Berry, an artist by trade,

Riverkeeper gets high-profile support Alexandra Cousteau joins volunteers for water quality survey, film steph.willems@metroland.com
TICO#50007364
News - A water quality testing event organized by the Ottawa Riverkeeper got a high-profile dose of celebrity on Sept. 14. Alexandra Cousteau, granddaughter of famed explorer and environmentalist Jacques Cousteau, was on the water with volunteers and a film crew on Saturday, documenting the ongoing efforts to preserve the fragile ecology of the Ottawa River watershed. The Ottawa River Mission is a joint effort by the Ottawa Riverkeeper, Cousteau’s Blue Legacy International, and the philanthropical de Gaspe Beaubien Foundation. Cousteau’s film crew is producing a three-part documentary during the 10-day expedition, which will explore the threats facing the expansive watershed, the difficulty in addressing an array of related issues, and explore possible solutions. “In 2010 I was here on an expedition … but wasn’t able to tell the story then,” said Cousteau, adding her first trip to Ottawa was during a political-themed Grade 8 field trip.
Cousteau said that hydro dams and pollutants are a constant threat to water quality along the Ottawa and despite recent successes “there is still a lot more that can be done.” “There is a need for more collaborators and more effort,” said Cousteau. All along the reaches of the river, from Temiskaming to Hawkesbury, volunteer River Watchers took part in a simultaneous water testing event on Saturday, drawing samples from boats in mid-channel (so as to get the clearest sample). The results will serve to give the Riverkeeper a comprehensive look at the pollution in the watershed. An online water quality database is being assembled by the Riverkeeper, which will allow residents to search for the latest water quality report from a variety of locations. Ottawa Riverkeeper executive director Meredith Brown said she hopes the work of Cousteau and the new initiatives being worked on in Ottawa and Gatineau will heighten awareness of threats facing the Ottawa River. “There are threats happening every day on the

However, the Riverkeeper has recently made inroads into Quebec. It has gained river watchers in Gatineau and beyond,

This year’s creation of a Quebec director of operations for the Riverkeeper and their partners will allow them to navigate the laws and regulations governing that side of the river.

Gladstone District CDP process gains momentum Third CDP in Bayview-Carling area sees first open house on Oct. 15 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - If it seems the acronym “CDP” is heard in Ottawa as much something like “HST,” there’s good reason for it. The city is moving forward with several community design plans at the same time, designed to bring a comprehensive planning direction for a number of neighbourhoods west of downtown. While the Bayview Station CDP has already been approved, the Scott Street, Preston-Carling and Gladstone district CDPs are currently in various stages of completion. Together, the CDPs would see a strategic vision for taller building heights, enhanced retail, improved pedestrian and cycling mobility, and many new residents in this transitfriendly area of Ottawa. The Gladstone district CDP is the least developed plan, given that the other areas – which were facing more development pressure – took
precedence. During the month of August, however, wheels began turning on the file as community stakeholders and members of a public advisory group were asked to provide lists of interests and concerns. The first public open house is scheduled for Oct. 15 at Tom Brown Arena, from 7 to 9 p.m. Michael Powell, president of the Dalhousie Community Association, said there’s a “big conversation piece” in the CDP in the form of the Oak Street federal complex. The triangular storage and warehouse facility is located south of Somerset Street and east of the O-Train tracks and bike path. “Public Works will be selling off the southern portion,” said Powell. “It’s a substantial area of redevelopment.” The northern (and most visible) portion of the Oak Street complex will remain, much to the disappointment of some local residents who feel the outdoor “stone-aging” yard is

The Gladstone district CDP, which encompasses the area surrounding Gladstone Avenue and the O-Train tracks, will ramp up this fall. The CDP is meant to guide build form, density and mobility in the area in the near and long term. an eyesore. Because the O-Train tracks serve as a significant barrier between neighbourhoods with a limited number of pedestrian and vehicle crossings, transportation is a big issue for the association. Dead-end streets abound near the tracks, and would have to handle an increased population. “Our concern is when you start plopping in towers and the only access is from Preston Street,” said Powell, adding the dead-end streets are popular with game-playing
Blasting begins on LRT tunnel Ottawa West News staff
News - Blasting got underway on Monday, Sept. 16, as engineers create the western portal to the downtown LRT tunnel on Lebreton Flats. The blasting is expected to last for a period of four weeks. Prior to the using of explosive charges, the city issued a release notifying residents within one kilometre of the site, located near Albert Street and Bronson Avenue. Work will be taking place between 8 a.m.
and 5:30 p.m. on weekdays, with the blasting described as “intermittent.” Each charge will be preceded by signals to alert the public. Five short whistles signal one minute until a detonation, while three short whistles signal that a detonation is imminent. One long whistle signals the ‘all-clear’. Areas of west Centretown, Dalhousie and east Hintonburg are located within the onekilometre radius. The site of the blasting is located in close
proximity to two historical limestone structures – the Fleet Street pumping station and Pooley’s Bridge (Ottawa’s oldest surviving bridge) – which has caused some concern about possible damage. The city has attempted to calm those fears, stating in its website that “all blast vibration levels will be carefully monitored to ensure compliance with applicable guidelines and regulations and to alleviate the possibility of damage to nearby structures.”
kids. While the CDP process is just getting underway, the possible inclusion of new OTrain bridges or a repeat of the controversial “mews” idea contained in the Carling-Preston CDP is worrisome, Powell said. “It could make these quiet side streets pass-throughs.” The Bayview and CarlingPreston CDPs show very tall towers clustered around the neighbourhood’s prospective O-Train stations, lessening in
height as the distance from the station increases. Given the height around the north and south end of the BayviewCarling corridor, Powell said he’d hope the Gladstone area sees mixed heights and build forms, rather than just strategic towers. “The height proposed in Bayview makes a lot of sense – it’s a brownfield, and not as close to its neighbours,” said Powell. “This (CDP) is an opportunity to do something creative
with a dense but low rise community that runs along the O-Train. I want to make sure … we have the flexibility of a variety of build types. It’s rare that you have this many hectares of space – it’s an opportunity.” The Gladstone District CDP process is expected to yield a draft concept plan in November, followed by another open house in March, 2014. The final plan is expected to be completed and approved by city council in June, 2014.

Nine-storey Westboro condo plans continue to rile Community asks what stops every site from being an ‘exception’ Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - A mixeduse development proposal first viewed by Westboro residents last winter returned with more detail on Sept. 10, but the public re-
action was little changed. The public meeting gave representatives from Main and Main Developments the opportunity to outline their plan for their property at 236 Richmond Rd., located at the southeast corner of Richmond
and Tweedsmuir Avenue. The nine-storey, 70-unit proposal features ground floor retail and assorted residential suites on the floors above, with 61 parking spaces for both retail and residential uses. Discussions at the meeting
revolved mostly around height and the area’s community design plan. Zoned as a traditional mainstreet, the CDP covering Richmond Road in Westboro allows for fourto-six-storey, mixed-use buildings, with an excep-

tion stating that tall buildings can appear if the right criteria is met. Daniel Byrne, vicepresident of development for Main and Main, described those conditions as he gave the rationale for the proposal, which would be located next to the LCBO and Real Canadian Superstore and backing onto the Richmond Plaza Motel. These sites are ones that are removed from nearby residential homes, with close proximity to transit, and that are “architecturally ambitious,” said Byrne, before describing the street-level amenities (such as a patio and landscaping) the building would feature. While amenities like groceries, other retail, and the Westboro Transitway station are indeed close by, several community members asked why this particular site was so special, given that many properties along Richmond would qualify for this. “As we investigated (the surrounding area), we concluded that nine storeys would be in accordance with the frame work of the CDP,” said Byrne. When pressed about the proximity to transit, he replied, “the geographic reality is that in no way is all of Richmond Road within 600 metres of a Transitway station.” Westboro Community Association president Gary Luddington argued that the lot in question – a former gas station – was sufficiently narrow to warrant consideration for less height under the CDP, meaning about four storeys. “To the south of this site …are single family homes,” he said. Graham Bird of Graham Bird and Associates, an architecture firm working on the project, looked to temper some of the outrage by framing the building’s height in a city-wide context. “This height is significant, but it is not the 30storey project you’re alluding to,” said Bird. A shadow study provided by Vincent P. Colizza Architects shows the bulk of shadows falling on neighbouring businesses, parking lots and the street throughout the year, with the houses to the south, along Tweedsmuir, falling outside of the shadow’s
path. City planner James Bruce, who is overseeing the file, responded to a question of whether any property owner seeking more height along Richmond Road would be granted the request. “Your site has to be evaluated, and a recommendation is made,” said Bruce. “Just because they get it, doesn’t mean you get it. If (a proposal) came in, they’d be looked at individually. Certainly, one concern planners have is creating a canyon.” Because of the existing traffic pressure on Richmond Road, which has grown greatly in recent years, some residents expressed concerns about increased traffic emanating from the building, despite the relatively low parking capacity. Ron Jack, traffic planner with Delcan, stated that the retail component would represent the bulk of vehicle trips heading to and from the building, not the residential component. “You’re right, volume (on Richmond) has increased – it’s slow,” said Jack. “But, if you lop off three floors, it would only remove three or four cars per hour at peak times.” When asked whether the owner would consider restrictive traffic movements for users of the garage, Byrne said, “there’s been some talk about restrictions on left turns upon leaving the building.” That move would funnel traffic from the garage entrance on Tweedmuir towards Richmond, rather than up Tweedsmuir towards Byron Avenue. While city staff have yet to weigh in on the proposal in the form of a report to planning committee, community members were already thinking beyond that stage. “Will you appeal to the (Ontario Municipal Board) if the city says ‘no’?” asked Luddington. “That’s up to the owners of Main and Main,” replied Bird. “They are convinced this is a good project... There are things about the site that made the architects convinced the building is OK for the site.” The proposal is likely to head to the city’s planning committee later in October.

CHEO launches Dream Home lottery Theft of patio furniture, barbecue mar campaign kick-off Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario was hoping to make one lucky winner’s dreams come true even as burglars were making off with some of the dream home’s backyard goodies. CHEO staff launched this year’s Dream of a Lifetime lottery on Monday, Sept. 16, a day after two people broke into the Manotick mansion’s backyard and stole a patio set and a barbecue in broad daylight. Sandy Burke, design consultant for Minto’s Mahogany development where the dream home is located, said the thieves were literally stealing from children. “I don’t know if anyone thought of that, but there’s a big sign out front (labelling it the CHEO dream home),â€? he said. “Today’s the launch, and there are pieces missing. It’s a special day.â€? Police are investigating and Burke said one of the thieves looked right into the security camera, something which hopefully will aid investigators. “We’ll get that taken care of,â€? he said. The 5568-square-foot dream home is located off Manotick Main Street in a new development by Minto. It is built in the French provincial style, Burke said, and includes four bedrooms upstairs – two of which are master bedrooms. A ďŹ fth bedroom on the main oor was set up as a games room during the launch. The home also features ďŹ ve bathrooms, several sitting rooms and a large kitchen which boasts an eight-person dining room table and several large stainless steel applianc-
es. The ďŹ nished basement feels more like a classy lounge; small pods of seating areas are spread out among the entertainment systems, with a mini kitchen along the wall. Even the kids’ recreation room has its own TV, one of many throughout the house. A personal exercise room completes the picture. CHEO chief executive Alex Munter joked that he almost missed the launch because he was lost upstairs; and with all the joining rooms, walk-in closets and roomy bathrooms, it’s not an unthinkable possibility. Munter thanked Minto, trade partners and ticket holders for supporting the hospital, which he said is considered in the top six per cent of research hospitals globally in terms of its impact. “None of that would be possible if not for the donors,â€? he said. “Kids deserve to be happy, we all feel that.â€? Minto communications director Gwen Cox said this is the 13th home the developer has built for CHEO, and “this is probably the most dazzling we’ve ever done.â€? “In a perfect world no kids would have to see the walls inside CHEO,â€? Cox said, but since that’s not the case, “we’re very grateful that we’re able to help out in this way.â€? HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Tina Ryan and her family know all too well how quickly CHEO can become a second home. Ryan, a Kemptville resident, spent many hours in the hospital as a child while her younger sister struggled with congenital heart disease – an experience that inspired her to become a nurse and work at

CHEO herself for a short time. But Ryan’s experience with CHEO was just beginning. “Little did I know my husband and I would return to CHEOâ€? as their daughter Ava failed to thrive. At three months of age, Ava suffered extreme discomfort after feeding, and was prone to projectile vomiting. At three months old, Ava was admitted to CHEO and diagnosed with failure to thrive, severe acid reux and several food allergies. She stayed at CHEO for ďŹ ve weeks before she was able to come home, although she continued to be closely monitored as an outpatient. Ava got better, but around her second birthday her parents started to notice different symptoms. One morning, she was sweating, trembling and difďŹ cult to wake up. As a nurse, Ryan recognized the symptoms as hypoglycaemia, and called the ambulance. Ava was recently diagnosed with ketotic hypoglycemia, a rare but serious form of low blood sugar. “She’s taken a few ambulance rides to CHEO as a result of that,â€? Ryan said. The Ryans are this year’s CHEO ambassadors, and the family of four – Ava has a sixmonth-old sister – recounted their story at the launch. Ava is now a “happy, healthy threeyear-old,â€? Ryan said, and indeed the little girl looked excited for the attention as she showed her CHEO teddy bear to photographers and CHEO staff. Ryan appealed to the crowd to buy their tickets and support the facility. “Please help CHEO so they can continue to change lives as they did ours,â€? she said. Tickets can be purchased

It’s time for a dyslexia strategy
A
s our three-part series about dyslexia has illustrated, the learning disability is not well understood and support is lacking. For every child in the school system who shows signs of dyslexia, there should be someone looking out for them. We need better diagnosis, better support and more people involved in making sure we don’t leave kids behind because of their condition. A learning disability doesn’t mean a child can’t learn, it means the education system must find a better way to teach them. We all lose when a child can’t reach their potential. Dyslexia is a proven medical condition that’s detectable by a neurological scan yet there is no term in the diagnostic manual used by psychologists to clearly establish what help is needed. The education system is failing these students because there is next to no training on identification of dyslexia in Ontario teachers colleges. Even if your child has no learning disability, it’s in every child’s best interests to have resources provided – time and people and teaching methods – to address the needs of kids with dyslexia. A
teacher who has no training or extra time available must reduce time spent with all students if they are to help a child with a learning disability keep pace with his or her classmates. The statistics surrounding dyslexia are ominous. According to the International Dyslexia Association, 15 to 20 per cent of people in Ontario have some form of dyslexia, and 80 to 90 per cent of all learning disabilities can be attributed to the condition. Dyslexia is the only learning disability where you have to prove a child has it in order to get any support. The two largest school boards in Ottawa – both public and Catholic – will carry out a maximum of five assessments per school annually, far below the number of kids affected if the statistics are accurate. That leaves parents to pay for testing, and if they can’t afford it, a child goes untested and unhelped. That’s unCanadian. One expert quoted in our series suggests every child could learn to read using a phonetics-based teaching method that’s not available in the schools, further proof that it’s not our kids who are failing, but the entire education system.

Hope springs eternal as autumn blows into town
P
eople are starting to look for the leaves to turn, but in fact this is Canadian spring. Scoff, if you want, but then think about it. Spring, as we all know, is the time when the trees are sprouting, the flowers are budding, hope springs eternal and everything is new. It traditionally occurs in March or April, depending upon how far south you are, and the sporting metaphor is spring training. When spring training begins, every baseball team has a chance to win, theoretically. The shortcomings of the fall are ancient history and now all the people who were injured last season are all better now. Plus, there is a group of new players, each one better than the one before, each primed to crack the starting lineup. Spring is so wonderful. In our country, the spring phenomenon happens in the early fall. It happens right now. You can tell by reading the sports pages as they chronicle the preseason training camps of local hockey teams across the country. Hope springs eternal and everything is new. In Ottawa, every Senator who was hurt last year is in the best shape ever. The players who have arrived by trade are better than the ones who were traded. Some are even better

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town than Daniel Alfredsson. The players who didn’t get too much action last year are ready for lots of action this year. The players who spent most of their time in Binghamton are ready to spend all of their time with the big club. The flowers are budding, the leaves are sprouting. Never mind that soon they will fall off. Never mind, because we’re not done yet with being offered words of hope in the newspapers and on the radio. Don’t forget the numerous enthusiastic descriptions of the rookies, the players who were just drafted, who haven’t played a shift in the NHL, but look like they might be ready, even now. Under normal circumstances they’d be spending some time in the minor leagues

and be brought along slowly, but their talent is just so exceptional, not to mention their maturity, that they could well make the leap to the NHL. In Canadian spring, the general manager has a tough job deciding among all those deserving players, each one of them worthy of significant ice time in the big leagues. But it’s a problem he’s just glad to have. The team is healthier and deeper, and just in case it temporarily stops being healthy and deep, well, there are all those capable youngsters just waiting for their chance. The fans read all this stuff and hope comes to them. Just in time, too, because the baseball season hasn’t turned out exactly as they had anticipated. They want to believe: the ability to believe is what makes you a fan, rather than a critic or a professor or a political operative. There is so little to believe in unconditionally in these difficult and complicated times. Politics is tainted. Education is unfathomable. Even religion is less perfect than you would like it to be. But the home team: there’s something you can have faith in, no matter what. There is a certain innocence in being a fan. You put away your skepticism, saving it for your
place of work. You don’t analyze, you don’t hesitate. You believe and you read the sports pages and listen to the sports talk radio. Hockey spring is in the air and you have a spring in your step. There are cynics out there, of course, who might think they’ve read it all before -- read it, in fact, just prior to seasons that turned out to be an absolute disaster. But most fans are not cynical, at least not this early. Maybe later in the season the cynicism will creep in, when somehow the promise of the preseason doesn’t pan out. But not just now. It’s spring.

Heck, grab the gals and go to Cuba! 3) Take vacations together. We are fortunate to live in Canada for many reasons – ample vacation time isn’t one of them. Still, if you can grab an overnight trip, a weekend, even a day at the spa with your spouse, it’s good to recharge away from the humdrum of daily life – and away from the offspring. 4) Encourage each other’s hobbies.

here’s nothing like September to get everybody back into routine. Routine is great. It’s comfortable. You know what to expect. Except, as one friend pointed out recently, every day starts to feel like the last. And if you happen to be married with a gaggle of kids, he noted, life can start to feel like the instructions on a shampoo bottle: lather, rinse, repeat. His comments, and the number of articles circulating on social media these days on marriage and divorce, got me thinking about longevity. How do people keep things exciting and interesting in marriage – and in life – when long work days, kids’ demands and routines are the norm? So I started asking around. “Sleep naked,” one older girlfriend told me. I laughed this off as her attempt to write off my idea for this column. But this friend, who’s been married more than a decade, went onto explain herself: “When everyone’s busy, it can be hard to find time to be intimate. Get in the habit of sleeping in the nude … even if you don’t go all the way, cuddling together naked is, itself, an intimate act.” It makes sense. After all, skin-to-skin contact is all the buzz in hospitals these days when talking about how to bond with a newborn. Why shouldn’t nightly nudity be a good way to keep close to your partner? If you’re not ready to cast away your flannel PJs just yet, however, here are some other ideas garnered from a series of interviews I did with couples who’ve been together from 10 to 65 years, guaranteed to keep married life more interesting than the back of a shampoo bottle.

Three-day canoe trip a learning lesson for students Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The best way to experience a river is to hit the water and the best way to experience a period in history is to visit the places where it occurred. Both of those sentiments came to life for the students of Bishop Hamilton Montessori in Ottawa’s west end last week. Most school trips and excursions take place at the end
of the year, but Bishop Hamilton does things a little differently. Starting on Sept. 9, a group of 21 students from grades 7 and 8 took to the water in two voyageur canoes, spending three days plying the waters of the Rideau River waterway. Besides being a pleasant start to the school year, the trip from Smiths Falls to Osgoode provided an opportunity to teach both the history and ecology of the river.

Teachers and co-organizers Dave Drouin and Ann Flindall also made sure life skills such as practicality and self-sufficiency were highlighted during the trip. “We usually do a big thing at the start of the year,” said Drouin. Flindall consulted with members of the Rideau River Roundtable environmental group before deciding on an exact route. “It was great paddling,” said Drouin, adding that de-

spite dodgy weather, the rain held off for the most part. “Stew Hamill from the rountable is a biologist and pointed out the flora and fauna to the kids as we went along. There was a historical aspect, too, which I pointed out, including the science behind the lock system.” A nice excursion, some would say, but what about the rest of the year? One of the positive aspects of scheduling such a trip at the beginning of the school year is that the information gathered during the excursion can be used following it. “When we got back, we started doing math problems involving the locks,” said Drouin. “It’s helpful when it’s something you’ve experienced.”

Museum night party starts up again Friday evening ‘themed’ social events return Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Exploring nature at a downtown museum is back on the Friday night calendar this fall. Nature Nocturne is a series of social events held at the Canadian Museum of Nature that offers adult patrons the opportunity to spend an evening out with music, drinks and food. The museum is set to launch its second season of the evening affair, continuing with plans to offer different themes, starting on Sept. 20. According to Cynthia Iburg, the adult programmer at the museum, the evenings have been very popular, with more than 7,500 people attending the parties last season. Iburg credits the popularity to the different themes. “Themes have ranged from the Arctic to Star Wars, with a huge, positive response from the Ottawa community,” Iburg said. The evening programming combines mixing, mingling and gallery visits. New exhibi-
tions, dancing, music, food and drinks and the occasional craft or art expressionist workshop took place last winter, targeted at adults aged 35 years old and under. “Our 35-and-under target audience has really embraced the concept of socializing, dancing and museum discovery all in one place,” Iburg added. “Where else in Ottawa can you party with a dinosaur or a blue whale?” Live bands are planned for this season and returning entertainer DJ TDot will be on hand for a few of the evenings to keep the beats going. Visitors who attend are welcome to wander through the galleries until midnight. Iburg said aside from the many party-goers taking the opportunity to have their photo taken next to a dinosaur or big mammals, the craft sessions have proven to be crowd pleasers. “Adults like the opportunity to play,” she said. “We’ve set up craft areas where, depending upon the theme of the night, you could

Support services fill gaps for dyslexic students In the third of a three-part series on dyslexia, Metroland tells the story of a young woman whose dyslexia wasn’t identified until university and looks at the remedial services offered through private schools not available in the public system Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Ricki-Lee Pitman never liked school. It was always a struggle and while she never failed, she was never at the top of her class. “I would always get comments about my organization,” she said. “And the syntax I used in my writing.” Early on in her elementary school career, Pitman’s family figured out that she had attention deficit disorder. “My dad put me in sports to help me be the best I could be,” she said. “Using up all the extra energy help with my emotional state, my grades and my relationships.” But there was still an underlying problem. Pitman graduated from Brookfield High School. But before she headed to Carleton University to start her degree in psychology a family member advised she be tested for dyslexia. “I knew I had ADD (attention deficit disorder), so I thought I would go to the Paul Menton Centre,” she said. The centre is designed to help diagnose and accommodate potential barriers to learning. A few simple surveys with a learning co-ordinator highlighted some of Pitman’s problem areas. Pitman said without it, she might not have graduated. “She told me it was likely that I had dyslexia,” Pitman said. The University of Ottawa has a centre for students with disabilities, as does Algonquin College. Both centres aim to offer learning support for students with both learning and physical disabilities. Pitman said her initial diagnosis was a relief, but at the same time she was on unfamiliar ground. “It was the first time I considered not everyone thinks this way,” she said. Before she could get supports for class though, Pitman needed a psychological assessment that would show her strengths and weaknesses in learning. Many parents, frustrated with a lack of support in the 12
public school system have turned to private schools that specialize in helping those students who are being left behind. SEEKING HELP PRIVATELY
Over the last couple of decades, private psychologists have begun to offer assessments and other services to take up the slack from an overloaded and underfunded public school system. But doing the testing privately can be expensive. “Thankfully the learning co-ordinator from the Paul Menton Centre was able to help me get a grant so I wasn’t faced with a huge expense.” Derek Rhodenizer, viceprincipal at Heritage Academy of Learning Excellence in Ottawa, said Pitman’s story isn’t unheard of. Heritage is a private school aimed at helping students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. “A psycho-educational assessment, even if a student is able to receive one in the public system won’t recognize dyslexia,” he said, adding the waits for testing are long. In Ontario, the Niagara Catholic School Board is one of only a handful that recognizes the term. “There are lots of strains of dyslexia, it can be found in neurological brain scans,” he said, adding the scientific proof should afford the condition its own diagnosis. Dr. Tim Hogan, head psychologist at the Ottawa-Carleton District School said the term isn’t used because it isn’t recognized in the diagnostic manual available to psychologists. “We use a more broad-based term like language-learning disabilities,” he said. According to the Canadian Dyslexia Association, it’s a condition that relies more heavily on the right brain, preventing the person from learning to read in the conventional way, for example, using word memory. Rhodenizer said because the schools don’t recognize the condition, kids get streamed into special education classes that don’t help them learn to read. He said only specific methods – provided by Heri-

Ricki-Lee Pitman, pictured at home on her computer, now works for the federal government as an event planner. She says without the support of the Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities at Carleton University she may never have graduated. tage and another private school called the Mindware Academy – are useful in teaching dyslexics to learn to read. An American study by the National Institute for Mental Health discovered that 80 to 90 per cent of all learning disabilities are forms of dyslexia. It also found that 95 per cent of those cases can be fixed if intervention happens at kindergarten. “We use a mix of teaching methods and assistive technology here at Heritage,” Rhodenizer said. In Pitman’s case, she found having a laptop and a note taker in her classes helped her get through university. “It leveled the playing field,” she said. Although after her first 100-question test on a Scantron sheet in her first-year psychology class, she decided to switch majors. “I found those tests really hard,” she said, describing Scantron as a nightmare. “So I switched to Sociology with a minor in philosophy.” Having a laptop meant that
she didn’t have to worry about her writing ability when essay answers were recorded. “Most dyslexics are very creative,” Rhodenizer said. “With the right tools, they can soar.” Heritage uses the Simultaneous Multisensory Teaching (SMT) method. Mindware Academy uses the OrtonGillingham method. Both are multi-sensory methods that use kinesthetic and phonics based rules. “The sad thing is, every student could learn to read with the SMT method,” Rhodenizer said. “But dyslexics can’t learn with the method used by the public school system.” Mike Lance, who teaches the SMT method at Heritage, said they use cursive writing instead of block printing. “Larger muscle memory is easier to remember than fine muscle memory,” Lance said. Lance demonstrated the difference between using larger muscles (like the biceps) to learn to write and finer muscles like the fingertips. Lance said he works with
each student for 45 minute blocks each day, adding he helps to build back the self esteem often shattered by years of not “getting it” in the public school system. “It’s really great to see their faces when they finally get it,” Lance said. Jenna Rowney, who also teaches at Heritage, said she came to the school out of teachers college and was sold on experiential learning right away. It’s not uncommon for Rowney to teach her class in the schoolyard on a nice day. When she taught students about eco-zones several used Play-Doh. When kids aren’t in class they can work on their ju-jitsu in the gym. “It’s all about keeping them active so they can focus their energy,” Rhodenizer said. Pitman agrees with the need to move. “I don’t really remember doing homework in school, I just remember sports and my friends,” she said. “In class I kind of went through the motions.”
Liette Phillipe said sending her son to Mindware Academy was the best decision she could have made. After the first four years in the public school system he was reading at a Grade 1 level and couldn’t write. Thanks to the specialized teaching methods that help to deal with difference in learning, by the end of Grade 8, he had developed the coping methods he needed to start high school in the public school system. “I’m forever grateful to Mindware Academy they saved my son,” Phillipe said. Pitman said if she had been identified earlier, she would have felt more at home in the classroom. “There were a lot of years where I felt I wasn’t as smart as everyone else,” she said. “It took me a while to learn that all I needed was a level playing field.” But for some, private school isn’t an option.

My sister Shannon suffered from a congenital heart disease, a condition that made it difficult for her to eat, breathe or move. She was so fragile that she spent the entire first year of her life at CHEO, so I ended up spending my days at the hospital with my parents and my sister. CHEO became my second home: it was where my family and I spent most of our time, where my sister went to preschool and where I made friends.

At three months of age, Ava was admitted to CHEO where she was diagnosed with failure to thrive, severe acid reflux and several food allergies. Failure to thrive is a condition that can have serious repercussions on a child’s stature, emotional and behavioral development. Ava required a hypoallergenic formula via continuous nasogastric feeds (a feeding tube placed in the nose) and a few medications to help settle her stomach. After a five week stay at CHEO, she was transitioned to thickened bottles and we were finally able to bring her home. Following her discharge, Ava continued to thrive with outpatient support from CHEO, and although she was smaller than most kids her age, she seemed to be on the upswing.
But one morning I found Ava sweating, trembling and difficult to arouse. That day Ava had the first of a few ambulance rides back to CHEO where she was recently diagnosed with ketotic hypoglycemia, a rare but serious form of Little did I know then that my husband and I would return to CHEO once we became parents. low blood sugar.

Several years later, inspired by the amazing nursing staff at CHEO, I became a nurse—and funnily, as part of my training in the Bachelor of Nursing, I worked on the same unit where my sister had been treated.
Unfortunately, once at home we noticed that something was wrong. Ava would have projectile vomiting after every single feed. No experience or education could have prepared us for the stress associated with having a sick child.

He said if you counted the bush at the north end, you could add another couple acres to it, but we always called it the twenty-acre field. It separated our farm from our neighbours, the Thoms. Although they were no relation, we always called them Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha. Children back in those days never called an adult by their first name, so the parents of our best friends in Northcote were always called Aunt and Uncle. The 20 acres was always a hay field. Father said the soil was best for hay and other crops were planted on the fields beyond the West Hill, where there was rich black loam, ideal for wheat, barley and oats. For reasons unknown, all of the farms in that part of Northcote were laid out in long narrow strips, and on our side there were no exceptions. Father always said you could spit across our fields, they were so narrow, but our farm ran from the Northcote Side Road, straight south and across the Bonnechere River. This long, narrow piece of farmland that had seen three generations of Father’s family live and die there. But the Twenty-Acre Field was more than just a field. When the hay had been taken off, you could see the path where dozens of times we had walked, rode horseback or taken the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter, over to the Thoms homestead. When the hay had yet to be harvested, we walked close to the fence that was in constant need of repair, but both Uncle Alec and Father could see no reason to fix it. “We don’t need a fence to tell us where our land lies,” Uncle Alec would say whenever the subject came up to prop up the bent-over posts and maybe replace the wiring. So, most of the time the fence was either lying flat on the ground or so bent over you could step across the wiring without touching a shoe to it. If I was on my way to my friend’s farm, across the TwentyAcre Field in the summertime, I walked close to the falling fence. I was sure if I walked through the hay I would get lost and never see my mother again, because the crop by mid-summer was far over my head. Being the meek child that I was, when I started out across the
MARY COOK Memories Twenty-Acre Field to visit Velma, I would ask Mother to stand by the grape arbour, so that I could turn every 10 feet or so, wave to her, and make sure if any danger befell me, I could run for home. Only when I went through the gate – also badly in need of repair and never, ever closed, but always hanging open on one hinge – and I left the Twenty-Acre Field behind me, only then would I breathe a sigh of relief that I had once again made it safely. Coming home presented a problem though. My little friend Velma knew I was frightened of my own shadow, so she would walk with me halfway through the field and stand there as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me home. As soon as I would reach the grape arbour, I would turn and wave to Velma and she would return to her own home. I marvelled at how brave was my little friend Velma. In the winter, when the hay had long since been taken off and only stubble remained, I would wait for the snow to come and cover the field with a white blanket. The field looked bigger then I thought. As soon as there was enough snow to make the field passable, Father would take the team of horses, hitch them to the big flat-bottomed sleigh and make many trips back and forth across the field to make a path. It would be as straight as a die, leading from our yard at the side of our house and right over to the opening in the fence where the gate hung by a hinge. My very favourite time for crossing the Twenty-Acre Field was in the dead of winter. When the air was crystal clear and bitterly cold, and the full moon overhead hung like a huge lantern. Going across the field to the Thoms was a special treat at any time, but in the winter, on a cold night, was my very favourite. It would take about 20 minutes to cross the field, all of us bundled up like mummies on the flat-bottomed sleigh. And from under the blankets covering us, keeping out the cold, the Twenty-Acre Field looked like an immense white bedspread. After a fresh snow, the field sparkled like R0012234198

millions of diamonds and I felt the utmost joy and peace. I thought how blessed we were to own that special tract of land. It was supposed to separate the two farms, but in fact it tied us together.
Today, decades later, the TwentyAcre Field is still there. There still isn’t much of a fence and its ground is rutted from hundreds of sleighs, wagons and horses using it as a way of getting from one
farm to another. And through a child’s eyes, so many years ago, the Twenty-Acre Field was a symbol of the times linking neighbours, creating a bond, like a good and warm handshake.

He is now pursuing a doctorate degree at the University of Ottawa. “My mother got frustrated and struck out on her own,” Ward said. “But that took a lot of courage.” Ward was diagnosed in Grade 4. She described the extra work she had to do just to complete the same tasks as her peers. “I had to read everything several times to understand it properly,” she said.

But parents have to be prepared to become advocates, Ward said. “One of the biggest lessons is you have to fight for what you want,” Ward said.

Actor thankful for starring role on homegrown series Educational TV show puts magic back in mathematics Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
Arts - Learning math and arithmetic doesn’t have to be dull or hard. Just ask South Ottawa teenager Kevin Wang, who stars on a made-inOttawa show designed to help young students learn the numbers subject. The second season of The Prime Radicals launched on Sept. 5 on TVOKids in the province and across Canada. The show, said Kevin, puts the fun back into learning math. The series follows the Ontario math curriculum for children ages 6 to 8, and features Kevin (as Kevin) and co-stars Alanna Bale (Alanna) and Norman MacQueen as Uncle Norm. Each 14-minute live action episode was shot in and around Ottawa. The Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans was home to The Prime Radicals, which includes, as seen on the show, Uncle Norman’s workshop. The Radicals – cousins Kevin and Alanna – come to the rescue every time on the scene of Uncle Norm’s latest misadventure. They enlist experts to help them solve Uncle Norm’s problems with mathematical solutions. Five local singers contributed and recorded vocals for the opening tunes at General Assembly Production Centre, the entertainment company producing the show, at their studio on Laperriere Street in West Ottawa. Ottawa viewers will recognize many notable landmarks on the show, including Pinto Valley Ranch, a local dairy farm, and Fulton’s Sugar Bush. Fresh off working on the second season last summer, Kevin, now 14, was only 10 years old when cast in the show. It was thanks to Kevin’s Kumon math tutor that he got the audition for The Prime Radicals. “They were looking for a young boy at the time,” he said. After auditioning for the role, which was originally slated to go to an older actor, Kevin wound up cast due to his natural acting flair, his ability to pay attention to the script, his comedic actions, and because he was deemed the best match for Alanna and Uncle Norm. Those memories are but a blur to Kevin, who remembers only being nervous during the audition process and not really knowing what to expect. “At that time, I was 10, and I didn’t know what it was really going to be like,” he said. “I was nervous. This was like the biggest opportunity for me so far at that time as a kid. It was a great experience. I’m grateful I had that opportunity.”
SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND
Kevin Wang, a Grade 10 student at Lisgar Collegiate Institute, is of the actors featured on The Prime Radicals, TVOKids show produced and shot in and around Ottawa. “It’s definitely the biggest and best thing that’s happened to me. Not everyone gets the opportunity to do something like this.” Much like the second season, the first one was shot over a summer on a tight schedule, which could be tiring and stressful, but the crew found a way to make it fun, said Kevin. “I enjoyed it, even though it could be tiring,” he said. Memorizing hundreds of lines was a challenge in the beginning, but he quickly got the hang of it thanks to much support from the crew and his castmates. There were areas which welcomed improvisation, but the cast stuck to the script as much as possible, he said. The episodes themselves were shot in random order due to the availability of guests on the show, he added. The production company waited for funding from the Ontario government for the second season. A third season is still up in the air as it depends on funding, said Kevin. “If an opportunity arises to act again, I will go for it,” he said. “I had such a great time filming the show.”
Little did he know The Prime Radicals would be a stepping stone towards what may turn out to be a promising career for him. It’s been a whirlwind of an adventure for Kevin, who is now in grade 10 at Lisgar Collegiate in downtown Ottawa.
Job Title:
He looks back to the time he was shooting the first season and sees how he has personally changed – for the better – into a more mature teenager who quickly learned life and work skills thanks to an award-winning show “There were times when I would be rolling on the floor laughing,” he recalled. “It was definitely hard to keep a straight face, especially as an immature little kid.” But with guidance and support from people like Uncle Norm and senior producer Hoda Elatawi, it made the experience much more special. “I was learning something new every day on set,” Kevin said. “There are so many things that can be transferrable.” One of his favourite memories was when a magician appeared as a guest on the show. There was a definite element of surprise, because one wouldn’t think math has anything to do with magic, he said. But perhaps his best memories come from the times when they shot a segment right in Ottawa. “That’s something I’ll never forget,” he said. “I can recognize a place I went to, and there’s a sense of nostalgia, and I can remember what a great experience I had there.” Kevin, who grew up watching
TVOKids shows like The Magic School Bus and Arthur, said times have certainly changed where children’s TV shows are concerned. Gone are the mostly educational shows, he said, and in their place are the cartoon shows with not much of a solid purpose other than to entertain. “A lot of kids are watching shows these days that aren’t productive,” he said. “That’s why The Prime Radicals is such a great idea. So many (kids) think that they won’t get math because they see it as being too hard. But there are so many ways you can make math fun for kids who are learning it. If kids learn they can have fun while learning, they’ll be able to absorb that information much better.” “It fuels that interest in a young child, and perhaps they’ll pursue it as a career one day. Math is used in every job in one way or another.” The series has prompted him to look into chasing a dream of producing a similar type of show, but perhaps focusing on another subject area, such as science, he said. The Prime Radicals’ second season has already picked up two international awards even before its launch date. For more information on The Prime Radicals, please visit tvokids. com.

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk had harsh words for mayor Jim Watson dueing an interview on a Toronto sports radio station.
SUBMITTED
From Ottawa, with love The Larga Baffin Lodge held its first open house and fundraiser on Sept. 14, with donations going to the Canadian Cancer Society. Larga Baffin, located at 1071 Richmond Rd., is a rooming house for residents of the Baffin Island area of Nunavut who travel to Ottawa for cancer treatment. In total, $8,637 was raised by the event, which was attended by Leona Aglukkaq, the Nunavut-born federal minister of the environment. Trudy Metcalfe-Coe, general manager of Larga Baffin, volunteered to have her head shaved for the cause. Seen here, Aglukkaq and Metcalfe-Coe pose with Dr. Roanne Thomas, who was awarded a Canadian Cancer Society Quality of Life Grant to study the experience of Metis and First Nations women with breast cancer.
Mayor backs off from war of words with Sens Melnyk blasts mayor on Toronto radio over casino plan Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Mayor Jim Watson refused to escalate a heated exchange of words with Eugene Melnyk after the Senators owner vented his casino frustrations on a Toronto radio show last week. Melnyk took to the airwaves on FAN580 to complain about city council’s decision to take his site at the Canadian Tire Centre out of the running for a new casino in Ottawa. He blamed Watson for ensuring the Rideau Carleton Raceway was the only option for more gambling in Ottawa and said the mayor acts like he’s from another planet. Watson brushed off the
comments, repeating that the casino issue is not his priority and he expects the city will continue to have a working relationship with the NHL team. “Mr. Melnyk is entitled to his opinion. I don’t happen to share his point of view on what he talked about,” Watson said. “His priority is a casino and my priority is not a casino.” Watson pointed out a busonly off-ramp to the Canadian Tire Centre – which cost the city and province $750,000 – will open later this year to make it easier for people to take transit to the arena. “I continue to remain very optimistic that we have a good working relationship and the proof’s in the pud-
ding,” Watson said. The radio interview followed the resignation of Senators president Cyril Leeder from the boards of four local groups, including the committee to plan Canada’s 150th birthday bash in Ottawa in 2017. “Cyril has been a great contributor to so many different causes,” Watson said. “But like anyone, including myself, everyone is replaceable. While we’ll miss his input and his sage advice, that’s his decision or Mr. Melnyk’s decision and we’ll live with that and we’ll move on. We’ve got a lot of talented people that will continue to get involved in all the activities that are important to growing our city.”

The proposed facility would be able to accommodate a number of uses, with flexible fitness and programming space for children, adults and seniors. A total of 2,000 members would be needed to sustain operations. “That’s a little less than where we were at the height of our membership at the old facility,” said Rhodenizer. “We believe it is a doable number, and very much hope that the community rallies around us and desires to have us back in the community.” The Lockhart Avenue facility closed after 45 years of
operations due to the age of the building. The aim of the YMCA-YWCA was always to return to the community when an opportunity presented itself. With engineers and architects already lined up, the facility could be open for business by Jan. 1 of next year if the public jumps on board. The flagging membership has the organization puzzled as to the cause. “There’s been no negative response – we’ve had an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the public, but for some reason it’s not translating into new membership,” said Rhodenizer. “We can’t put our finger on one reason.”
The fact that the first half of the diligence period took place in August, long known as being a distracted month, could have something to do with the subpar numbers. Whatever the reason, the YMCA-YWCA is now turning over every stone in its search for support. “We don’t want to give people the impression that it’s too late, so don’t bother,” explained Rhodenizer. “If some massive surge were to occur in the next two weeks - even if the total falls short - it would make a compelling argument for the board to consider.” Residents seeking a membership can sign up on the organization’s website at ymcaywca.ca.

Parkinson’s party to shake things up in New Edinburgh Fundraiser aims to raise awareness, acceptance for disease Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A party in New Edinburgh aims to shake up Parkinson’s awareness with a few laughs. Shake It Up: A Premiere Fundraiser Party for The Michael J. Fox Show at the Clocktower Brew Pub in New Edinburgh invites people to watch the series premiere as well as raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson’s Research. The event takes place on Sept. 25 to coincide with the premiere of the show in Canada. Organizer Jonathan Sauvé is looking forward to watching the show as well as helping change people’s perspectives of what living with the disease is like. “Our main message is that when you think of Parkinson’s disease, you think of seniors,” Sauvé said. “But we want people to know that Parkinson’s is not only a disease that affects seniors, it affects young people too.” Sauvé said he thinks that when the Canadian actor Fox left his television show Spin City 10 years ago after being diagnosed with the disease, many people felt discouraged, as if it were an indication
Parkinson’s stops people from doing what they want to do. “Now that Michael J. Fox is coming back to the television, I think for people with early Parkinson’s the fact that he is coming back, over a decade later from when he left, it speaks volumes to how far we have come. It says a lot about the power of optimism.” The Michael J. Fox show is a comedy airing on American network NBC and on Global in Canada. The show is about the main character, Michael Henry, a former news anchor that left the business after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, who has now has decided to go back to work. Sauvé said the show, which pokes fun at the disease in lighthearted ways will do a lot to take stigma out of Parkinson’s disease. “I think the show will help some young people diagnosed with early on-set Parkinson’s,” he said. “It will show its not the end of the world. I think this show will be funny -- people with no connection with the disease will enjoy it and I think it will do a lot in terms that it will show its not the end of the world, your life will go on, you will still be successful.”
Sauvé and his friends know younger people diagnosed with the disease and the important thing for this close group is that to let people know getting diagnosed with the disease is not unbearable. “I think the show will be an inspiration for people diagnosed and in terms of education for people around people with early Parkinson’s will be fantastic, they will see that life goes on.” The show was the instigator for the fundraiser, he said. As part of the foundation’s promotion for the new sitcom, it encouraged donors and friends on their distribution list to host preview parties. Sauvé and his partner Jeffery Peterson support the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson’s Research and because of that, they were contacted suggesting supporters host their own premiere party for the show. Sauvé said they thought it was a great idea and began organizing a smallscale party in their Manor Park home. It was when friends Joya Donnelly, Gareth Jones and Erin Hunt suggested they could make the party a fundraiser that the group decided to move the location to the Clocktower Brew Pub in New
Harder seeks national library group presidency Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder wants to be the national voice for public libraries. The chairwoman of the city’s library board has thrown her hat into the ring as one of three candidates vying for the role of president of the Canadian Library Association. After being head-hunted and asked to pursue the role, Harder agreed. “I’m here in the nation’s capital. It’s a critical time for understanding the library of the future,” she said. “Getting the federal ear on these issues will be important.” In her candidate statement, Harder wrote that the association must have a louder voice at decision-making tables. Lobbying for federal infrastructure funding for libraries, increasing services for First Nations communities
and fighting to keep community library-based services for newcomers are priorities, she wrote. The association also needs to take a leadership role in working with the publishing industry to lift restrictions on access to e-books – something Ottawa’s public library is undertaking on its own. “Libraries must continue to change by evolving to stay relevant for their customers,” Harder wrote. “And we need to be better at communicating the value of libraries to stakeholders and decision-makers.” Harder already serves as the president of the Canadian Library Trustee Association. She has sat on Ottawa’s library board since 2004 and served as chairwoman since 2006. In addition to her executivecouncil membership with the Canadian Library Association, Harder also belongs to the Federation of Ontario Public
Libraries and the Urban Libraries Council. Harder already has a busy schedule. She heads up the library board and built-heritage subcommittee, the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation and the court of revision at city hall while also sitting on the planning committee as vicechairwoman and on the Ottawa Police Services board as a member. She is the chairwoman of Energy Ottawa and a director for Hydro Ottawa and the Bruyere Continuing Care board. Voting for the Canadian Library Association executive begins Sept. 12 and will continue for about a month, Harder said. She is up against Kathleen De Long of the University of Alberta libraries and Sandra Singh, the chief librarian of the Vancouver Public Library.

Rock the River seeks to unite Christian community Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
News - A Christian music festival hopes to bring all churches under one roof to celebrate God. The second annual Rock the River Ottawa is set to rock the rooms and halls of The Metropolitan Bible Church on Prince of Wales Drive on Sept. 28. Organizing committee member Michael Price said the big difference between last year’s event and this year’s is the location. “It’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone, and we are really hoping to see a lot of families come out,” he said. Last year’s edition took place at Britannia Park, and while the inaugural event attracted thousands of people, Mother Nature wasn’t as kind, as the skies broke and rain poured for a portion of the outdoor concert. The MET, as it’s known, offered the use of their church for the festival, which not only includes a diverse concert lineup, but a children’s zone from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by family-friendly activities.
Featuring Christian children’s musical group Go Fish, the show is designed primarily for children ages five and up. From 6 to 10 p.m., popular Canadian Christian rock groups Thousand Foot Krutch and The City Harmonic will be joined by hip-hop artists Prosper & GPM, as well as Da’ T.R.U.T.H. Joining Rock the River is guest motivational speaker Bob Lenz. “The good news is that it can rain all it wants,” said chairman Randy Jost on the official website. “It’s going to be an outstanding day.” Jost said how the MET is reaching out to all churches to join in the day’s events. “Our leadership team of 18 pastors and Christian leaders from across the region have been working diligently on your behalf to bring this edition of Rock the River Ottawa to fruition,” he said. Rock the River began as a culmination of a partnership between the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Ottawa region churches. More than 13,000 people

Despite the weather, flocks of the faithful congregated in Britannia Park last year for the first annual Rock the River music festival. The Metropolitan Bible Church on Prince of Wales Drive in south Ottawa will be the site of this year’s Rock the River Ottawa, a Christian music festival in its second year. attended the festival, which took place over two days. Although they are not partnering with the evangelistic organization, they have received their support to con-
tinue organizing this year’s event. “We want to see our Ottawa region transformed by the power of the gospel and we believe the model and format
of Rock the River will provide us with that opportunity. Rock the River Ottawa 2013 is running full steam ahead,” said Jost. Furthermore, Rock the Riv-
er continues to work towards becoming a full-fledged charity. For more information, please visit www.rocktheriverottawa.com.

Mom to Mom Sale to give back sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
News - Families can shop till they drop for a good cause next weekend. Riverside South’s secondannual Mom to Mom Sale will set up shop at the Rideauview Community Centre on Sept. 28. Proceeds from the admission’s sales of the event will go back to the community to help fund a number of future events the Riverside South Community Association hosts throughout the year, such as Canada Day celebrations, the Santa breakfast, and sleigh rides. The idea for the Mom to Mom Sale sprouted as an idea between Tatum Uchman and two other moms in the community – Jennifer Riviere and Cara Bernard.
Items sold at the event are gently used materials sold for a discounted price to parents in the community who need not go out of town to purchase items for their child. Riding on the tails of this April’s successful mom to mom sale, which collected $400 for the community, the trio decided to organize one for the fall. Thanks to much positive feedback from the community, they decided it would be a good idea to host another one, but in the fall. On sale for savvy shoppers will be gently-used items, such as clothes, books, and toys for children, with plenty of great finds for parents just in time for the fall and winter. Their goal is to surpass last year’s fundraising total, said Uchman. “We felt that it was impor-
tant to give back to our community because of all the great family-oriented events they put on for Riverside South,” she said. A few changes are in order for this year’s event, including using a larger space which allows for more vendors and more space for shoppers to get around. All vendor tables were sold out fairly quickly this time around, so the organizers are not looking for any more participants. Uchman said this event really does help to promote community-centred events and creates a fun atmosphere while raising money to give back. The Mom to Mom sale takes place between 9 a.m. and noon on Sept. 28. For more information, please contact them a savvymomstradingco@gmail. com.

Large commercial development planned near Petrie Island Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - A new commercial development has been planned for the Petrie Island area on North Service Road. The mixed-use development was announced at a Sept. 12 Orléans Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting at the Holiday Inn. The project proposes 33,300 square metres of office space, 2,000 square metres of retail space and a conference hall which will have a 300-person capacity. The office space will be able to accommodate 2,100 jobs, allowing employers to either relocate jobs to Orléans or create new jobs for the site. Previously, the location was referred to as the Javitch lands. The site is between the Petrie Island beach and North Service Road, close to La Cite Collegiale’s Orléans campus. Martin Chénier, Brigil general manager for Ontario, said the company`s project will “transform east Ottawa.” The project still has to go through approvals at city hall
before a formal timeline can be announced, but Chenier said they are hoping to start construction in early 2015. Brigil is already building condominiums on the Petrie Landing 1 and Petrie Landing 2 sites nearby. Mayor Jim Watson said that locating more jobs in Orléans is crucial for the community and could help fix current traffic problems. “It was pretty easy to get into Orléans (this) morning,” he said. “But the people going out tells me there’s a challenge we have. Our jobs-toresidents ratio is very low.” Watson said while the current work on highway 174 will help traffic problems, the real solution lies in getting more jobs located in the east end. Brigil’s plans will be brought forward to city hall for approval. “We look forward to working with you to make sure that this sort of project goes through all the hurdles in an efficient and fast fashion at city hall,” Watson said. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette said the conference space will allow for larger

Currently, many people have an Orléans’ ceremony and then leave to be able to
host a reception because there isn’t a large enough space in the community. The Sept. 12 meeting to announce was itself an example of not enough meeting space
in the east end. The chamber had a waitlist of people who wanted to attend the morning breakfast meeting but the space wasn’t large enough to hold them.
“Hopefully what this means is people will be able to enjoy their community,” Monette said. “We don’t have to leave the community for these sorts of events.”

Library moves to block access to child porn sites Internet filter to limit patron access to illegal material, manager says Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - For the first time, the Ottawa Public Library has taken steps to filter its Internet connection to prevent child pornography from being viewed or downloaded. The Ottawa Public Library already filters content viewed by children by using their library cards to block sexual, hateful, violent or gamblingrelated content, said Jennifer Stirling, the library’s manager of technology and innovation. Now, the library is in the process of acquiring software that will prevent child pornography from being viewed on any library computer throughout the city. The filter will extend to the library’s Wi-Fi network so the illegal material can’t be viewed on people’s laptops or other devices. The library has been working with the police this year to conduct safety audits and train staff to ensure incidents in the library branches are properly reported. The addition of a child-porn filter is a direct result of that work, said library board chairwoman Coun. Jan
Harder. The filter will only prevent the viewing of illegal child pornography – not legal porn. “We’re focused on preventing illegal activity in the library,” Stirling said. While some patrons might hope the library blocks all pornographic material from being viewed, restricting access to legal content is not part of the library’s mandate, she said. The issue is complicated because everyone’s definition of inappropriate material is different, Harder said. Some people could consider images of breastfeeding to be inappropriate or pornographic, she said. “We can’t control everything that’s going on everywhere, but we can do our best to mitigate criminal activity,” she said. The Internet filter doesn’t tackle other illegal activity on the library’s computers, like “treason,” Harder said. The software, which Stirling wouldn’t name because the contract hasn’t been signed, has the capacity to track and log users’ Internet use. See PILOT, page 35

Almost $1 million worth of upgrades are needed to make the downtown Main public library branch safe and reduce the risk of criminal activity.
‘Deviant’ activity spurs Main library changes City to spend $945,000 to make downtown library safer Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Almost a million dollars in safety upgrades to the Main public library branch will be done after police observed people accessing pornography and masturbating at the branch. On Sept. 9 the library board approved a plan to spend $945,000 for minor renova-
tions aimed at making the Main branch a safer and more comfortable environment for patrons and staff. “Deviant behaviour was going on at the library and nothing was being done about it,” said Insp. Chris Rheaume, one of the Ottawa police officers who conducted a safety audit of the branch this summer at the library board’s request. The calls for police to at-
tend the branch were “going through the roof,” he said. There are too many dark and out-of-sight nooks and crannies in the aging Main branch, said another officer, Const. Ryan Pierce. “(There are) lots of hidden places where people can hide and conduct acts of criminality through the library,” he said. “There are areas in there (where) people can be engag-
ing in other acts, assaults, sexual assaults, and where people are using the computers for illegal activities.” Library board trustee Coun. Tim Tierney encouraged board members to head to the branch when it opens and experience it for themselves. Trustee Amelita Armit agreed it can be an uncomfortable place on the weekends, especially. After heading there one weekend, she promptly left. See SHELVES, page 37

Luncheon opens up mental health conversation for parents Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - The Royal Mental Health Centre is hosting a conversation about mental health with local parents. For the second year in a row, health care professionals are meeting with the public at the Centurion Conference Centre in Nepean to take about adolescent depression – both the causes and the treatments.
The event is being hosted in partnership with Do it For Daron and will take place on Sept. 26. Organizer and vicepresident at the Royal Nicole Loreto said they expect about 500 attendees. This year the conversation will be about resilience. Entitled Resilient and Ready, the workshop aims to talk to parents about instilling coping skills in their children. Dr. Raj Bhatla, the psychia-
trist-in-chief at the Royal, will be on hand to talk about the myths related to suicide and what he sees in the emergency room. Loreto, a social worker, will talk about how best to teach resiliency and related skills. Dr. Mario Capelli, CHEO’s director of mental health research, will address the role the media and parents can play in relation to the coverage of suicide and the implications it
has on emergency care and services. Mary Lou McFarlane, a nurse and mental health counsellor will talk about building up the strengths of our children. Loreto said the Royal has programs aimed at dealing with teen depression in 18 Ottawa schools – along with
a day program at Brookfield High School. Loreto said because of the publicity surrounding the suicide deaths of Jamie Hubley and Daron Richardson, there is a lot more awareness of the issues surrounding teen depression and suicide, but more funding is needed.
The luncheon will answer questions parents have and point them to community resources. There will be an hour’s worth of talking and 45 minutes available for questions, Loreto said, adding the audience is expected to range from parents of toddlers, parents of teens and teachers to other healthcare professionals.

Community farm spreading roots in Blackburn Hamlet Just Food Farm gives urban dwellers a chance to test our their green thumbs Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Community – Farms may conjure up images of long, windy rural roads and families that span generations. The Just Food Farm is more like a community centre. It can be accessed by the 94 and 97 bus routes, is home to parttime farmers who come and go, community programs for street-involved youth, and offers recreational walking paths for anyone who chooses. The Blackburn Hamlet farm is run by Just Food, an incorporated non-profit on National Capital Commission land. The 40 hectare farm has small plots that act as training farms, managed by individuals or pairs. For $1,600, farmers in the Start-Up Farm program get the plots, which are cleared and prepped for farming, and access to farm equipment, and the ability to sell produce during the farm gate sales on the
property. They also get access to training seminars - which are also open to the public to learn farming and business skills. It’s a much more feasible option for someone interested in agriculture than purchasing and taking over their giant property and set of farming equipment and provides a stepping stone that is hard to find. “The intermediary wasn’t there,” said Cathleen Kneen, the Just Food board chairwoman. “There was no way to actually learn to farm.” The nine plots grow a large range of fruits and vegetables, from watermelon to wild herbs, depending what the farmers want to plant. Most of the farmers have other jobs, and farm on the side. In Carp resident Jeremy Foss’s case, he works a construction job twice a week to be able to afford to be on his farm plot, which he attends

To have all this right here, we could begin to address some food security issues.” Foss said he doesn’t mind
the drive from Carp because it’s difficult to find suitable land that hasn’t been polluted by industrial agriculture. He grows 95 different types of plants on his plot. On the Just Food Farm, the plots will move to different spots on the property next

year, which is better for the land. As well, farmers will be moving to larger - and in 2015, 0.4 hectare plots if they wish. After that, the idea is the farmers will be ready to selfsustain away from the Just Food property, said farm pro-
gram manager Leela Ramachandran. Just Food is hoping at that point to be able to liaise with the NCC to find them suitable spots in the Greenbelt to rent. “We’re really seeing an emergence of a new type of farmer,” she said. The Start-Up Farm program also includes the FarmWorks program. It sees at-risk youth from Operation Come Home managing a plot and growing food, then selling it from June to mid-October. Ramachandran said the community has been accepting of the farm, and eager to purchase locally-grown food. The farm is public property, and open for residents to walk along the paths, so it’s common for residents taking a stroll to see the farmers hard at work. On Sept. 24 at 6:30 p.m., the farm staff will hold a tour for any interested members of the public. The Just Food Farm is located at 2389 Pepin Court just off Innes Road. Farmers from the programs also participate in a produce sale Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesdays from 4 to 7 p.m.

Pilot project to begin this month at yet-undetermined branch Continued from page 31
The Ottawa Public Library, however, won’t be doing that because it would violate the library board’s public-access policies. The library assists in all police investigations when the proper warrants are provided, Stirling said. That’s the only time users’ Internet activity on
the library network would be disclosed. “We’re not planning at this time to log activity,� she said. Doing so would go against “library nirvana,� Harder said. She emphasized the tracking capabilities would only be used in cases of criminal activity, and even then the police must “jump through hoops� to get it.
“It’s a subject that’s very touchy in libraries,� she said. “In the library world, privacy is like a sacred cow.� The filter will be used at one undetermined branch as a pilot project starting at the end of September. After the library board receives an update on the initiative in November, Stirling said the hope is to have the filter in
use at all library branches in Ottawa before the end of the
year. The software is cloud-based
so instead of a one-time purchasing fee, the city will pay around $33,000 U.S. a year for access to the filter. The money will come from the library’s existing budget, Stirling said.

Tomlinson Group’s Red Army By Tracey Tong For the Tomlinson Group’s Red Army, it was a red letter day in the name of cancer research. The fundraising team was the second-largest in the fourth annual Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontario’s most successful single-day cancer fundraiser. The event, which debuted a 50 km distance in addition to the 100 km flagship distance this year, raised an incredible $2,049,522 for cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

Disney dreams take flight for local children Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - The energy in the room was like Christmas morning, as children milled about getting their photos snapped and measurements taken on Sept. 8 at the Canada Science and Technology Museum. The lucky kids were chosen to go to Disney World with the Dreams Take Flight program, an organization run by Air Canada employees that takes children on the day trip of a lifetime. The children, nominated by teachers, doctors, social workers or support organizations for a variety of reasons, will board an early morning plane on Sept. 24 and head to the happiest place on Earth: Disney World. Dreams Take Flight operates in eight Canadian cities, and has run in Ottawa since 1995. The Air Canada flight crew are all volunteers, and the day-long trip makes an experience that wouldn’t be possible for most of the children. While some of the children had clearly been thinking about the trip for some time, the Sept. 8 orientation event was extra special for two siblings. Their father had recently passed away and they didn’t know why they were heading to the museum. When they went into the presentation, it was quite the
surprise to find out they would be leaving in two weeks for Disney World. “It gives them an opportunity to have one magical day just for themselves,” said volunteer Kelly Goulet. “They have the memories (after) for the hard days.” Some of the children have illnesses, or have spent their life growing up with a sibling with a serious illness in and out of the hospital. Other children have grown up in foster homes, or without the financial means for this type of trip to be possible. They arrive at the airport extremely early in the morning, and get to spend the day in the Magic Kingdom at Disney World near Orlando, Fla. A budget is allocated for food for everyone, with a bit set aside for each child to purchase a souvenir to bring home. The children will land back in Ottawa late in the evening before heading home with a backpack of goodies and donated items. Twelve-year-old Taequan Moise, from Metcalfe, said he thinks the day will be a “10 out of 10”. Brennan Gore-Miron, from Westboro, said he’s a big fan of water, so he’s excited to go on the Splash Mountain ride with his group’s volunteer. And while Hunter Larocque, 8, from Overbrook, has never been on a rollercoaster before,

Taequan Moise, 12, from Metcalfe, left, happily poses for a photo for the Dreams Take Flight staff. Taequan is one of the 100-plus children who will go to Disney World for the day on Sept. 24 with Dreams Take Flight. Isaac Cretes, 7, is all smiles as volunteer Isabelle Grou-Mawrick measures for his jacket. All the children selected to go to Disney World with Dreams Take Flight receive donated Crocs and clothing from Mark’s Work Warehouse. it’s what he’s most looking forward to. He’s also looking forward to meeting his favourite Disney character – Mickey Mouse.
The children are put into different groups to travel around the park for the day with volunteers. For many, Sept. 24 will be the first time leaving
the country or boarding an airplane. But there will be one same first for all the children – one of the requirements to be cho-
sen is that kids can never have been to Disney World before. “Our job is to give them magical memories,” Goulet said.

The library is investing in training all library staff on what they need to do when issues of safety or criminal behaviour occur at library branches. The library is also increasing its requirements for internal incident reporting.

“I just got out of there because I thought, ‘Where am I?’” One of the main suggestions is to consolidate all the publically accessible computers in one location on the library’s third floor. The library chose the third floor because it is the easiest, quickest and cheapest place the branch can accommodate all of its 61 computers in one place, said Ottawa Public Library CEO Danielle McDonald. In the children’s area, shelves will be lowered and false walls will be removed to improve sightlines. That’s in response to an incident last year when a man exposed himself to a young girl in the children’s section at the Main branch, library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder said. Staff areas that were a “free for all” for people to wander in will be blocked off with secured access for staff only. The upgrades are expected to take about six months to complete. Planning and design are already underway for the security upgrades, but the bulk of the expense will come back to the library board to approve as part of its
2014 budget. The safety upgrades are in addition to $6.25 million in renovations and upgrades to the Main branch that the library board agreed last year will need to be done over the next decade. Several library board members asked about ways the type of police audit that was conducted at the Main branch could be done at more branches or all 33 library locations.

Intensification fears aired at Overbrook meeting Proposed townhome infill development features small yards, unique setbacks News - Overbrook residents are skeptical of a plan for townhomes on North River Road that the developer says will be a more efficient use of land than the single home it hopes to replace. Stan Levine of Sherbrooke Urban Developments hired prominent Ottawa architect Roderick Lahey to design the two semi-detached homes that will front onto North River Road and four three-storey townhomes that will front onto Drouin Avenue. Townhomes are allowed under the existing zoning, but Sherbrooke is asking for a minor rezoning to gain exceptions on a couple of things, including the building height and yard setbacks. The buildings would be about the same height as a similar development across the street that Sherbrook Design built previously. The homes would be about 2.7 metres taller than their two-storey neighbour to the east. Ross Jewell was among the residents at a meeting on Sept. 12 who pointed out how small the back and side yards would be. The backyards of the homes are technically considered to be the side yard in the zoning, so the new homes wouldn’t have to be set back as far from neighbouring dwellings – only about 1.2 metres. The homes are intended for small families or couples looking for their first home who want to own a home close to the core, but not a large yard to maintain. “It’s targeted at people who don’t want to cut a lot of grass,” said Lloyd Phillips, the planning consultant for the project. “Small families don’t always want green space as their recreational space.” The front yards would seem larger because there is a large swath of city land around the corner of North River Road and Drouin Avenue. While most agreed that the design
of the homes was pleasant, many were worried about trees in the area. The city recently cut down three of the six trees on its land adjacent to the property, to the chagrin of area residents who appreciated the tree canopy. In response to suggestions of tree-cutting collusion between city planners and the developer, RideauRockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark received information from the forestry department indicating that one of the trees was infected by emerald ash borer, one was a rotted maple tree and another was a white ash tree at risk of infection that many people – including the developer – misidentified as a maple. Lahey said he was disappointed to see the city removed the trees because he was very careful to incorporate them into the design of the site. Two of the existing large trees on the North River Road side will remain and the developer will replant trees on the Drouin side – likely Japanese tree lilacs – so they don’t grow into the hydro wires. Some residents bemoaned the development as yet another example of a developer choosing not to comply with the city’s zoning bylaw. “It just seems to be a very drastic change from a single family house to six units,” said Jean Laframbroise, calling it “a disturbing trend.” “I don’t disagree with you,” Lahey said, adding that change can be done in a sensitive way. Other concerns expressed at the meeting included: the possibility of exacerbating issues of large puddles forming at the end of Drouin when it rains and privacy concerns related to windows on the back of the homes. Change didn’t bother the owner of the two properties on North River Road and Drouin that are closest to the proposed development. “To me, change is probably for the better,” said Patrick Morris, who

Overbrook residents are concerned about the density of a development proposed for North River Road, shown in this conceptual image, which would see undersized back and side yards after six units are built on a lot that currently features a single family home. The pressure to build more homes in the core comes from provincial and city intensification policies, he said. Another neighbour across the street on Drouin, Felix Thomas, said people are always afraid of change,
has lived in his home on North River Road for 50 years and seen a lot of changes in that time, he said. Clark said he’s “not comfortable” with the development, but said that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be allowed.

Action Sandy Hill grills up some community spirit Music, activities to help open lines of communication in neighbourhood Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Action Sandy Hill is pulling out all the stops for its annual fall barbecue this year in an effort to connect with new and returning students. The event is planned for Sept. 21 and will offer residents an opportunity to meet their neighbours as well as a number of community groups in the area. The event coincides with the last Sandy Hill Farmers Market (which is rain or shine) and a yard sale (weather permitting.) “It is going to be a busy day,” said organizer Alice Kwong. The fall barbecue is just one of the methods the association uses to reach out to students in the neighbourhood. Last year, the community association realized a huge success at the annual barbecue, serving up a record breaking 1,179 hamburgers
and hot dogs at the event. Association board member Claire MacDonald credited the success of the barbecue to a door-knocking campaign the week before the event. The barbecue opened the lines of communication between community partners, including the association itself, police, bylaw officers, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s office, staff from the University of Ottawa and the students, sharing information about safe behaviours, being a good neighbour and the dangers of alcohol consumption. It was because of this success that the association created a barbecue committee that has been meeting throughout the year to plan this event which will offer members hamburgers, hotdogs, a vegetarian option, a halal option and drinks. Added this year will be a slew of children activities including face painting, a visit from the neighbourhood fire

There will be a Latin band and salsa dancers as well as tables for neighbourhood businesses to show off their wares or services. Volunteers are still needed to help with organization for
the event, including putting up posters to advertise around the neighbourhood, serve food and drinks, as well as helping with set-up and takedown. High school students can use this opportunity to fill their volunteer hours. Musicians are invited to perform, and can make ar-
rangements by contacting info@ash-acs.ca. The barbecue is funded through donations from local business, the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa and the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. The rest is covered by the association.
The yard sale begins at 9 a.m. and goes until 1 p.m. The farmers market is located at the Sandy Hill Community Centre and starts at 9:30 a.m. The barbecue starts at 3 p.m. More information about the barbecue, the market or the yard sale is available online at ash-acs.ca.

Make sure to start things off right by exercising your dog! Dogs need the socialization and mental stimulation of lengthy daily walks for their emotional and physical health. Use this time as training time as well, dogs need to learn to respond to commands in different settings. The Ottawa Humane Society is running two fall basic dog obedience sessions starting on Monday, Sept. 23, and Thursday, Oct. 3. There are three levels of classes: puppies (4-11 months), adolescents (1-2 years) and adults (2 years and up). These classes are a great way to socialize your dog and teach them basic commands, etiquette, and most importantly, have fun. For more information on dog training and dog obedience classes email programs@ottawahumane.ca.

behaviours. Give your new dog a routine to adhere to, consistency and rewarding desired behaviour from your dog will make training a breeze. By taking an active role in teaching your dog, you will be able to train the dog the way you want. Knowing your dog Similar to children, dogs understand different things at different stages of their development. Remember that as pups mature, their independence grows. Puppies are socially dependent on us, so during the first few months, they will often listen better and stay close to home. It is when they mature, especially through adolescence, that their world becomes much larger. So keep them close to you and under control at all times, and continue your training program on a regular basis.

Owning a dog can be a very rewarding experience. How you train your dog has a big impact on whether your relationship will be one of companionship or frustration. Adopting a training program from the beginning is a fun way to get to know your dog and sets the stage for a successful relationship. What is training? Training is a form of communication between a dog and his owner. Since dogs cannot speak, it is up to the owner to learn how to communicate with the dog. All owners can benefit from training classes, even if they have previously owned a dog or trained many in the past; remember that every dog is different. What is your role in training? If you don’t train your dog, he won’t learn appropriate

Kanata community leader honoured by seniors council Blair Edwards
blair.edwards@metroland.com
News - There’s no stopping Heather Colls. For the past three decades, the 65-year-old Katimavik woman has been a force in her community, shaping the architecture of social services offered to Kanata residents, including the creation of a food cupboard in 1985 and starting the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre in 1986. Her record of community service takes up several pages on Colls’ resume, including her work on the St. Paul’s Anglican Church parish council, the Anglican Church of Canada Diocese of Ottawa committees, as a coach in the CanSkate program at the March-Kanata Skating Club and a street representative for the Bridlewood Community Association. The Kanata Seniors Council honoured Colls with this year’s Frank Valentine Award on Sept. 9 during its annual general meeting. The award is given to someone over age 55 who volunteers his or her time, focuses
on seniors’ needs, provides outstanding leadership and works for change. “It means a recognition of a commitment to the needs of the seniors,” said Colls. “Considering I knew Frank (Valentine) very well ... it’s really nice to be recognized. “When you look at the record I have, it’s not just seniors, it’s the whole population; but seniors is the reason I did it.” It all started one Christmas during the early 1980s during a discussion among local priests and ministers about the number of calls parishes had been receiving from people seeking assistance. “Every one of them had gotten calls about needing food at Christmas,” she said. Colls and Debbie Follis, both parishioners at churches in Kanata, were asked survey local social service organizations, the Shepherds of Good Hope, the city’s public health agency and other organizations to determine the need for a food bank in the west end. This led to the creation of an information referral line, recording emergency food requests from people in Kanata.
Blair Edwards/Metroland
Heather Colls, centre, accepts this year’s Frank Valentine Award for outstanding service on behalf of seniors during the Kanata Seniors’ Council’s annual general meeting held at the Kanata Seniors Centre on Monday, Sept. 9.. “That’s where we started the first Christmas program,” Colls said. “Twenty-five families that year got food baskets.” Volunteers worked five nights a week to answer the phones and take the requests. “That’s where the food cupboard came, out of all those phone calls.”
Colls served as co-ordinator of the Kanata Food Cupboard from 1985 to 2007, where she was responsible for training and supervising the organization’s more than 500 volunteers. During that tenure, she organized and ran fundraisers that collected more than $100,000 in 2000, and more
than 500,000 items of food in 2002. The creation of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre followed a similar script. The Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre contacted the Kanata InterChurch council during the early 1980, looking to explore the possibility of starting a resource centre in the west end. “They could not handle the calls coming in from Kanata,” said Colls. The needs ranged from people seeking help to treat addiction to women looking to escape abusive relationships. Colls approached Ottawa’s former regional government for funding, saying the job could be done with $40,000, while other resource centres had budgets closer to $200,000. The council approved the request and the resource centre was built in 1986, under the name of the Kanata Community Resource Centre. Colls served as founding chairwoman of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and for two years sat
Evening Thrills and Chills this Fall
on the organization’s board of directors. “Most (resource centres) started because of the political bosses. This one started because of the needs of the community,” she said. “From then on it grew in leaps and bounds ... we just kept on growing in leaps and bits. Now look at the size of it. “You think, ‘My God, my baby’s grown.’” The WOCRC now offers a host of support services for seniors, women, youth and families, including counselling for children who witness violence, Chrysalis House, a shelter for abused women and their families, bully prevention, an early years centre and support for seniors and adults with physical disabilities. Colls said she has no plans of retiring from community work. This year, she recently finished working on a child poverty task force set up by the Anglican Church of Canada’s Ottawa Diocese and continues to lead a team of volunteers at the Kanata Food Cupboard. “I can’t see myself stopping. I’m not one who sits and does nothing.”

arts,” said Snarr. Snarr came up with the idea for the Cardboard Challenge last year, when she heard the story about a nine-year-old in Los Angeles, who spent his summer vacation building a cardboard arcade near his father’s used auto parts store. In 2011, a filmmaker, who was looking for a used door handle for his ’96 Corolla, stepped into the store and noticed the game. Caine asked the man if he’d like to play. The filmmaker later made a documentary about Caine’s creation, which eventually went viral on the web, resulting in nearly $250,000 in donations for the boy’s education. The movie sparked a movement, leading to the creation of the Imagination Foundation, a group dedicated to helping children be creative and think outside of the box. Last year the foundation held its first ever Cardboard Challenge, with more than 270 events organized by volunteers in 41 countries across six continents. One year later, one million children in 70 countries, including the students at W.O. Mitchell, are participating in the second-annual Cardboard Challenge, held during the month of September. “I just thought, it’s a great way for our kids to be engaged in learning that’s exciting and interesting…and also bringing the community together,” said Snarr. Cameron, James and Connor are already working on their next cardboard creations – but this time working in different groups. “I’m going to make a catapult,” said James.

News - It was all hush-hush. They had only been given the instructions for the project a few weeks before the end of the school year, last summer. The group of Grade 8 boys at W.O. Mitchell Elementary School had been asked to build something – anything their imaginations could come up with – using recycled materials, a project that would help the school introduce the project to all the children at W.O. Mitchell this September. Cameron Clark along with James and Connor Stonehouse gathered a rudimentary collection of construction material: cardboard, scotch tape, a worn pencil and some old markers. “Everything was recycled,” said Cameron. “This cardboard we found from a box of school supplies they had at the school. These are some broken pencils to use as the little lever thing.” The boys decided to make a working arcade game, called Duck Chuck, which challenged players to knock three cardboard cut-out ducks by throwing balls made from plasticine wrapped with scotch tape. “There a lot of games and arcades that seem to have games with animals,” said Connor. “So we just thought it would be a fun idea and the ducks do look pretty good.” After they finished, a video
was made showing how Duck Chuck was made and was screened during a school assembly on Sept. 9, to officially begin WOM’s Cardboard Challenge. All the students at the Bridlewood school will participate in the one month-long event. “The teachers are linking it into the curriculum,” said Tracy Snarr, vice-principal at W.O. Mitchell. In math and science classes, students will take measurements and calculate angles to help them create levers and pulleys for their creations. Some teachers will ask the students to describe their project in writing or through art. But it’s up to the children to decide what they want to make. “No one has an outline that you must make a robot and it’s that big,” said Snarr. “What we’re trying to encourage is imagination and innovation. “We’re encouraging the kids to make things as interactive as possible.” The school has already collected an impressive mass of cardboard, donated by parents, staff members as well as Algonquin College and stored in the W.O. Mitchell’s front foyer. On Oct. 4, the children will bring their creation into the school gymnasium for viewing by parents and members of the community from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. During the showing, people can make a donation at the door to the Children’s Wish Foundation. “We want to increase awareness that imagination, creativity and innovation can be applied to all subjects, not just the

Manotick cenotaph to receive $10,000 grant Upgrades to brickwork possible thanks to money from city program Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Manotick’s promise to remember will be set further into stone this fall thanks to a $10,000 grant from the city of Ottawa. The money was approved before the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee met on Thursday, Sept. 5, as part of the city’s rural community-building grant program. The Manotick Village and Community Association had asked for $15,000 to expand the red interlocking brick
around the cenotaph in Dickinson Square, but due to budget constraints – the program has only $80,000 to give away for the year – the association was approved for $10,000. “Which is fine,” said Ted Ross, an MCVA board member who has been working with the Manotick legion to restore the cenotaph. “We’re happy that they were able to grant that much. The grant will be used to extend the apron of the cenotaph over on the left hand side over toward Bridge Street.” Ross said that extension
northward is necessary because a number of cadets, honour guard members and other Remembrance Day participants have a hard time standing for hours on the area’s uneven and slightly sloped grass during the annual November ceremony. He hopes the project can be completed before this year’s Remembrance Day service using the same red brick currently surrounding the cenotaph and planned for the sidewalk now under construction along Dickinson Street. With the grant money now in hand, Ross said he wants to make it go as far as possible. He said he hopes the contractors already working on Dickinson can give the volunteer group a good deal, since the
equipment is already on the ground. “We’re hoping to get it done before November and as cheap as we can so we can have a railing slightly behind it if we can,” he added. The cenotaph extension is part of a larger multi-year plan to design and build a permanent Remembrance Park in the green space along Dickinson between Bridge Street and Clapp Lane. Preliminary plans for the park include a sidewalk connecting Bridge to the cenotaph (currently underway), seating areas, heritage gardens and a children’s thank-you monument. The abutment on which the cenotaph sits also needs
major repairs. As the foot of the original Bridge Street, the city-owned infrastructure has already been assessed by a consultant hired by the city, and a status update has been handed in, Ross said. The city could not be reached for more information. The park committee also wants to improve the cenotaph’s accessibility, add benches and improve lighting. To do this, Ross hopes to get support from Veterans Affairs Canada, which runs a cenotaph restoration grant program that funds up to 50 per cent of a project’s costs. The committee hopes to have the park ready for 2017, which coincides with Canada’s 150th anniversary as well as
the 100th anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge. Ross said the grant’s timing is good considering the vandalism that occurred at the Manotick cenotaph in August, when vandals left feces and toilet paper at the site. While Ross recognized “there will always be vandals,” he said developing the cenotaph into a larger sacred space could create an educational opportunity. “There’s always education to do that can bring it down to the Manotick level,” he said. “There are people who have sacrificed so much among us.” He said most kids in Manotick know and respect the sacrifice veterans from their village have made.

Community - Hundreds turned out for an evening of fine wine, good food and hot jazz put on by The Lumière Charity at the Brookstreet Hotel on Sept. 11. The Lumière Gala, now in its 11th year, is a partnership between the Brookstreet and the Wesley Clover Foundation to raise funds for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. The concept of the charity’s menu was to present food of-
fered at jazz festivals around the world, according to the hotel’s executive chef Clifford Lyness. A live auction was also held to help raise money for the cancer foundation. The Lumière Gala began as the hotel s grand opening, but due to its success, chairman Terry Matthews decided it should become an annual event. To date the Brookstreet has donated more than $380,000 to local charities and another $162,000 to cancer research.

Heel ’n’ Wheel brings hope to Winchester hospital Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Community - Rainy skies and cool winds couldn’t dampen the spirits of 77 participants who walked and cycled for hours on behalf of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital on Sept. 7. The second annual Heel ‘N Wheel for Local Cancer Care raised more than $68,600 for the hospital’s cancer programs, which participants raised through pledges to walk or ride between 18 and 30 kilometres to the hospital. Routes began in Greely, Osgoode, Russell, Finch and South Mountain. While they all began their journeys far afield, the participants got closer and closer to each other throughout the day until everyone finally came together under one roof at the Winchester Lions’ Hall. That sense of creating unity was a theme throughout the event, according to community engagement manager Christina Enright. She said the event’s top individual fundraiser, Daad Elsaadi from Finch, said it best when she said Canadians

know what it means to take care of each other. “Walking that long is hard, but cancer is harder,” Enright added. Since the event opened for registration earlier this year, participants have taken it on themselves to host fundraising events, create online auctions and personally canvas their neighbours, families and friends for donations. All of the funds raised will support cancer care at the hospital. Enright said one of the best things the hospital foundation did this year was cancel minimum fundraising targets. Three weeks before the event, only 30 participants were registered so the organizers made the decision to cancel the minimums. Within two weeks, their registrations had doubled, she said. “What it taught us is that that model doesn’t work out here. It scares people away,” Enright said. While fundraising minimums have been cancelled permanently for this event, she noted that many of the people who said they couldn’t raise the $500 originally required actually surpassed that target once they

The celebration included awards for top fundraisers, including the Winchester Hospital Heelers who were named top fundraising team after raising $27,000 and Elsaadi who raised more than $3,000. She was the top individual fundraiser for the second year in a row.
Edwards resident Brian Cox took a little of the bottom as he had his beard trimmed during the event. He had promised his family he would scale it back if he was able to raise $2,000; he raised more than $2,200. Hospital foundation board chairman Arnold Scheerder was on hand to acknowledge

pat on the back for your efforts and share with your friends the impact you’re making at your community hospital.” The celebration included entertainment from Marleen Fawcett and guitarist Robert Dillon, followed by local band Conspiracy. Enright said she hopes to continue the momentum from this year to continue supporting cancer care at the hospital. Enright said she was impressed by the number of hospital employees that took part this year. “Those chemotherapy nurses see first hand the impact of the funding that comes to the cancer program. So to have them participating was really special to me,” she said. More than 6,000 cancer patient visits took place at the hospital in 2011, including patients having a colonoscopy, using the Ontario Breast Screening Program, or undergoing chemotherapy treatments. In addition, many surgical procedures occur at the hospital including biopsies and cancer surgeries. For more information about the event visit heelnwheel.ca.

Crafting a plan Sarah Graham along with daughters Kate and Ruby make up a plan as they look at the official map for the Bridlewood Family Bike Chase at Eva James Centre on Sept. 14. The Graham family was one of many that competed in the annual event which asks teams to participate in 11 different challenges throughout the neighbourhood. At left, Wanda Scorrar and her son Owen have their bikes checked before setting off.
No excuses By Tracey Tong The event raised more than $2 million for cancer research earlier this month, making headlines across the city. But some might argue that the real success stories of Ride the Rideau were planted on bike seats at the start line that day.
Robert Noseworthy was one of these people. The two-time cancer survivor was only 30 years old when he was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Years later, he was diagnosed with merkel cell carcinoma and was treated at The Ottawa Hospital.

News - Two Bell High School students got a chance to rub elbows with the stars on the red carpet of the Toronto International Film Festival. The Canadian Cancer Society, in partnership with the Ontario Coalition for Smoke Free Movies, hosted 125 students from across the province on Sept. 7 to help spread the message that smoking in movies could lead teens to pick up the habit. Esther Samuels, a Kanata resident and one of the students who got a chance to go to Toronto, said she was happy to help out. “I have done volunteer work at CHEO and have seen kids dealing with cancer so it’s a worthy cause,” she said. While it’s Samuels first year as a youth advocate for the Cancer Society, she said she plans to host events at her school to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and to raise money for the society. “A lot of young people know about the potential health risks but they choose to believe it won’t happen to them,” Samuels said, adding students can still be found in the school yard’s smoking area. The smoke-free movie campaign aims to push the Ontario Film Review Board to include smoking in its criteria for rating a film. “Right now there can be smoking in films rated PG or 14A,” said Nicole McInerney, a spokesperson for the Canadian Cancer Society. “We want to make it so the smoking would make the movie 18A.” McInerney said movies are the last bastion for tobacco companies to advertise now that they aren’t allowed to air commercials or advertise in magazines. “They have to replace older smokers with young people,” she said, adding statistics show that 90 per cent of smokers started the habit be-
fore their 18th birthday. The red carpet event in Toronto asked the movie elite to sign postcards in support of the smoke-free campaign. “We did really well. The numbers aren’t up yet, but easily more than 500 signatures,” McInerney said. The campaign started in earnest in 2006, she said, adding the movement works in tandem with the society’s other cancer reduction initiatives — banning indoor tanning for children and banning flavoured tobacco.

Nepean hurdler wins gold at Francophone Games Sports - Nepean hurdler Sekou Kaba started the season injured, but came back to win a gold medal at this year’s Francophone Games in France. The Ottawa Lions athlete was propelled him to the top of the medal podium on Sept. 12 at the seventh Francophone Games. Kaba, who battled some nagging injuries earlier in the season, was in fine form
at Stade Charles-Ehrmann, claiming gold in the 110-metre hurdles with a season’s best run of 13.84 seconds. Finishing on Kaba’s heels was the man running to his right, 2005 World Champion Ladji Doucouré of France. The 31-year-old Beijing Olympic finalist was just 0.09 seconds behind Sekou, crossing the line in 13.95. “It means a lot to beat a
former world champion, it simply shows that hard work and a little positive thinking can propel one to strive,” said Kaba. Finishing in third was Ingvar Mosley who just edged out Kaba at the line in this year’s Canadian Championships in Moncton. Overcoming the hurdles off the track this year has added to the shimmer of this moment. “Gold feels great. I am
very happy to have something to show for all the hard work I have put into this sport, let alone this year,” said the University of Ottawa student and Sir Robert Borden High School graduate. “I felt like a million bucks at the start line. Nothing was sore, no race jitters, simply had my eye on the task at hand.” With his season now over, Kaba is said he is “looking
forward to a couple good weeks of rest.” He hopes the time off will rejuvenate the body and help him come back for base training and work towards improving on these year’s results. “I’ll spend lots of time doing school work and visualizing next year’s goals and targets; which is to continue to improvement and represent (Canada) at major champion-
ships,” he said. As of Sept. 12, Ottawa Lions decathlete Patrick Arbour was entering the two-day competition ranked third. On the track, wheelchair racer Curtis Thom was still to compete in the 400-metre event where he will be looking to get on the podium following a sixth place finish earlier this year at the IPC World Championships.

Aries, the week ahead is looking pretty good, as you will find people are more sensitive to your needs. Work with those willing to work with you. Taurus, your visions of how things should be might differ from how things really are. Work toward improving those things that need some work, and things will turn out just fine. Some surprises come your way this week, Gemini. But things will soon begin to fall into place. Just be patient before you make important decisions. Things may seem a bit strained this week, Cancer. But all it takes is a little cooperation and an increased focus on teamwork, and things will quickly return to normal. Leo, stay prepared and well organized and this week should fly by without a hitch. Feel free to try some things that go against the grain. Virgo, don’t feel badly about the things over which you have little control. Go out and have a good time this week, and eventually things will run their course.
Libra, it may prove challenging to sit still the next few days. People may be pulling at you from many different directions, and you will not know which way to lean. Scorpio, try not to be overly protective of your secrets this week. A friend or family member is offering their help and guidance, and such insight will prove invaluable. Sagittarius, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle presents itself this week. Some creativity and quick thinking will be necessary, but you will enjoy the challenge. Keep your feet on the ground this week, Capricorn. Even if you prefer to have your head in the clouds, keeping your cool will pay dividends in the long run. Aquarius, enjoy some quiet time so you can regroup after a hectic couple of weeks. You earned some rest and relaxation, and this time away will recharge your batteries. Pisces, you have a lot of good ideas, and it’s time to share those ideas at the office. Your star will soon start to rise.
