West Ottawa name change opposed by Ottawa chamber Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Kanata Chamber of Commerce has hit a roadblock in an effort to rebrand itself.

The business organization proposed a name change to the West Ottawa Chamber of Commerce in May, pending the approval of its members, but the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce says it owns the legal rights to the Ottawa name.

The Ottawa chamber sent a letter to the Kanata chamber expressing its opposition to the new name and threatening potential legal action should the new moniker be approved.

“From their point of view, I guess they don’t like the use of Ottawa in the name,” said Rosemary Leu, executive director of the Kanata chamber.

“We were a little surprised at the wording of the letter from the Ottawa chamber because this is not a done deal – We don’t know if our members will support this at our meeting.”

The west end organization, which represents businesses in the communities of Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton, is in the process of renaming itself, said Leu. “Our name as a standalone doesn’t fully represent our geographic base,” she added.

Special meeting for chamber renaming postoponed to August Continued from page 1

Ottawa Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Ian Farris said his organization, founded under a special statute in 1957 and governed by the Federal Boards of Trade Act, owns the right to the name Ottawa Chamber of Commerce.

“We’ve got the legal rights to that name,” he said. “We’ll reserve the right (but) we don’t want to take legal action.

“There’s certainly no harsh feelings between the groups; we’d like to work co-operatively.”

Farris said the name change would be understood within the city, but businesses coming from outside the limits may not get the distinction between Ottawa and west Ottawa chambers.

“I certainly understand their position,” said Farris, about the Kanata chamber wanting to better reflect the business

community in the west end.

“We’re just concerned there’s going to be some confusion.”

Leu said she reached out to the Ottawa chamber to set up a meeting to discuss the issue.

No formal meeting has been held between the two groups but Farris said he’s hopeful one will happen.

POSTPONED

A special members gathering to vote on the Kanata

chamber’s rebranding was to be held on July 23 but has been postponed to Aug. 20. The west end chamber is working to gather more information and legal advice on how best to proceed, said Leu. “This whole process is a rebranding process for the chamber. We’re simply looking for a name that better represents our membership,” said Leu. “The focus for us would certainly be on the word west.

“We’re not looking at changing our territory. We’re

very happy serving our west Ottawa communities.”

The Kanata Chamber of Commerce can’t change its name unless it has majority support from its members.

“Ultimately, our members have to decide if this is a name change they want to pursue,” said Leu. “We have received tremendous support to date from our membership, both prior to the notice of the special meeting and since; a great deal of support we’re receiving is that they’d like us to proceed. But

we’ll find out at that meeting.”

Only 55 per cent of the chamber’s 400-plus member businesses are located in Kanata.

Other Kanata-based organizations that represent multiple communities have changed their names to better reflect the geography they serve, such as the West Ottawa Soccer Club and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

News - The Kanata Food Cupboard is calling on the community to help supply much-needed back-to-school items for this fall.

Karen Waters, client coordinator for the organization, said she’s expecting higher numbers than the previous year, which saw 84 families request help.

“We’re looking for anybody who wants to do drives or give donations,” said Waters. “Our numbers are up everywhere so I’m anticipating the need will be higher.”

Last year, the food cupboard helped supply 119 elementary school students with supplies, as well as 65 high school students, seven post-secondary students, and seven adults heading back to the classroom.

Waters added a number of families have already come forward to request help.

“It’s just to help relieve the stress on the families.

Back-to-school is an expensive time of year,” said Waters. “A lot of them have

But we really need to get a dog club going so a group will have responsibility for that.”

Staff will review the request for the ball diamond, said Hubley.

“There will be public consultation on that before that happens,” he said. “It’s not something that happens overnight but it’s a process that needs to take place and I’ll be very supportive of that process.”

He added that dog owners are the best security system the community can have.

“They’re the eyes and ears,” he said. “I want to do all I can to encourage people to be out there walking their dogs but it has to be done safely for the whole community.”

News - A petition has been circulating in Glen Cairn to turn two parks into off-leash dog parks.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said he received a petition with more than 50 signatures from residents, wanting Ricky Place and Clarence Maheral parks listed as off-leash areas. The request was tabled at the last council meeting and sent to city staff to process.

But Hubley said he won’t support changing either parks to allow dogs to run free because both have schools that back onto the parkland, as well as play structures.

“It’s not going to happen,” he said.

“When we look for a park to be off-leash, you’re looking for a place where dogs can run and where small children won’t be around.

It was determined that it would be better to keep those parks on leash; Ricky Place especially because of the two schools that are right on that property.

“The challenge is, because I’m a dog owner myself, there’s no way for a child to know which dog is friendly or which isn’t.”

There is currently an off-leash park at Seabrooke Park, but Hubley admitted it’s not the best for dogs to run because of its small size.

The councillor is looking at the possibility of creating a dog run at the Frank McDonald ball diamond in Clarence Maheral Park. The diamond is a “back-up diamond” said Hubley, and isn’t used on a regular basis.

He said he’s working to set up a meeting with baseball associations to see if this is a feasible compromise.

“That’s a much safer set up,” he said, since the ball diamond is enclosed with a fence. “It’s not heavily used as a ball field so it may be possible.”

People currently use the ball field as an unofficial off-leash area, but Hubley wants to make it an official area for dogs to run free. He said he’s also looking for dog owners to create a group to take responsibility for keeping the area clean.

“They can then take responsibility for

OC Transpo driver who swore at passenger gets to keep job Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - An OC Transpo bus driver who swore at and threatened to assault an unruly autistic passenger will be allowed to keep his job.

An arbitrator has ruled the city must re-instate bus operator Paul Gagnier, who was dismissed in 2011 after a video of him shouting at the passenger and kicking him off the bus was posted on YouTube.

The passenger, Matthew Taronno, then a 20-year-old Beaverbrook resident and a scriptwriting student at Algonquin College, had been seeking an apology from OC Transpo.

During an interview with the Kourier-Standard in 2011, Taronno said he was willing to admit he may have offended the driver by reading aloud from a script he had written – that had no foul language but discussed public nudity – during the bus ride.

Gagnier will be moved to a job that doesn’t require him to

interact with the public when such a position opens up. He won’t be compensated for the period he was out of work.

The arbitrator, Kevin Burkett, said he had no hesitation in finding that Gagnier’s behaviour constituted “major misconduct,” calling his response “angry, profane and intemperate.” Furthermore, Gagnier neglected to report the incident to his superiors.

In the video taken on Nov. 3, 2011, the driver, now identified as Gagnier, repeatedly shouts an obscenity at the passenger, who had been speaking loudly into the driver’s ear.

The incident ended with the driver telling the passenger he’d “kick (his) ass” if he didn’t exit the bus without saying another word.

Gagnier’s job was terminated on Nov. 14, 2011 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279 filed a grievance, saying the punishment was an excessive disciplinary response.

The arbitrator disagreed.

Gagnier’s behaviour would

warrant termination, Burkett ruled – if it weren’t for a few mitigating factors.

The passenger was clearly provoking the driver, Burkett wrote in his decision, and the person who filmed the video maintained that both the driver and passenger were at fault.

Although it was late at night, the passenger got off the bus at his usual stop, which was well lit, Burkett wrote – not in the middle of nowhere.

Furthermore, it was Gagnier’s second experience with an unruly passenger in less than a week: four days earlier, he was granted time off work after a passenger spat on him.

Finally, Burkett wrote that Gagnier was under stress because he became caregiver to his seriously ill father following his mother’s death in 2010.

Gagnier accepted the seriousness of his misconduct by agreeing to take a lower-paying, non-driving position and by committing to retiring in two years at age 60.

Gagnier has worked for OC Transpo for 24 years.

With the heavy sounds of the city, storms there passed almost unnoticed, but the day lightning hit the pole that held our clothes line and followed it to the end pole, Mother nearly collapsed. My sister Audrey, whom I thought took storms much too lightly, said we should be grateful that the clothes line was free standing and not attached to the corner of the house. I knew

what she meant.

Then one summer day, when we had gone through a particularly long dry spell, the sky in the west darkened and far off in the distance we could hear the rumble of thunder.

We had finished our noon meal and by the time we had cleaned up the kitchen, the storm was upon us. Father said he would just sit a spell.

“No use going out in that rain,” he said, as he settled down in the rocking chair with the latest copy of the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

“How can you sit there and read with that storm raging outside?” Mother wanted to know.

Father never took his eyes off the paper.

My brothers had absolutely no fear in a storm. In

fact, it wasn’t unusual for them to stand at the kitchen window and watch the lightning streak out of the black clouds.

Mother had settled in a chair against the inside wall between the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom, Audrey, busied herself with her embroidery work and I was on a chair inches from Mother.

The whole house shook with every clap of thunder and the storm seemed to hover right overhead for a very long time. I prayed it would soon go away and follow the Bonnechere River to another part of the valley.

“Oh my God,” Emerson yelled. Everett yelled for Father to come quickly to the window looking out towards the west hill. Earl, the most timid of the three began to cry. I knew something terrible had happened.

Father jumped from the rocker and ran to the west window; cautiously, Mother,

Audrey and I followed. “The lightning,” Emerson stammered.

“It hit the big maple on the hill,” Everett said.

Underneath the tree, where 11 of our Holstein cows had gone for shelter, we saw what had happened.

They looked like they had laid themselves down to rest in the summer heat.

But I knew without asking what had happened. The cows were dead -- killed by a lightning bolt that had struck the maple.

I saw the stark horror on Father’s face, and Mother’s tear-streaked cheeks and I knew without a doubt that we would never recover the loss.

What I saw next, once the storm had blown itself out, was Father and the brothers, walking behind the team of horses, pulling the double whiffletree and heading to the west hill. One by one, the dead Holsteins were dragged to the gravel pit and

buried.

The news of our loss spread quickly through the community of Northcote.

Father said it could have been worse.

Our young heifers were in the enclosure close to the barn, and two cows, for their own reasons had decided to stay at the bottom of the hill.

And as always happened when tragedy struck in our farm community, neighbours responded. I saw them walking down our long lane leading a heifer or a cow over to our farm almost completely replacing our loss with a simple shake of a hand and a few words.

That’s how things were done in the 1930s.

As well as our terrible loss, the lightning strike only confirmed in Mother’s mind that storms were not to be taken lightly, but treated as the real danger they could be, and sadly sometimes were.

hunderstorms in the country terrified Mother.

Sadly, that fear was passed on to me. We crouched in corners, but never on an outside wall, and always away from the telephone that hung in the kitchen. If it was a really horrific storm, I often took to hiding under a bed.

Storms that struck through the night were especially frightening.

The lightning lit up the entire countryside and in the blackness of the night, rolling thunder roared, sounding like a gigantic train careening through our fields.

It was not unusual for Mother to get all of us children out of our beds in the dead of night at the first sound of thunder or a flash of lightning. Father of course, slept through the entire storm. Seeing Mother sitting on a chair, away from any window, the coal oil lamp lit on the bake table by the back door, did little to put my mind at ease. She sat with her purse clutched tightly in her arms, ready to make a dash outside should

Respect is a two-way street

T

here are no winners in the case of an OC Transpo bus driver who was fired for yelling at a customer.

Paul Gagnier was dismissed in November 2011 after a verbal confrontation with a young man who antagonized Gagnier, although he may not have done so intentionally.

The yelling was captured on video and posted online, resulting in thousands of views and pressure on OC Transpo to act.

Our transit service then over-reacted by firing Gagnier.

An arbitrator considered all the factors in play and decided he did not deserve to lose his job because of the mitigating factors in Gagnier’s life.

Fortunately the end result – delivered by an arbitrator this week – righted some of the wrongs.

Gagnier will be rehired, but only to a non-driving position, so he does not deal directly with OC Transpo’s customers.

The arbitrator’s report notes that Gagnier had 24 years of service – suggesting he knew his job well and was valued.

He did, however, become the primary caregiver for his sick father in the months before the shouting incident and had been spat on by a customer four

days earlier.

Arbitrators are paid to take into the big picture into consideration, and it’s clear from the written report released last week that the job was carried out diligently. OC Transpo went too far in firing a good employee who snapped. No one was physically harmed by Gagnier’s over-reaction, although some nerves were jarred.

The arbitrator’s ruling treats Gagnier fairly while ensuring the city’s bus riders won’t deal directly with him again.

In hindsight, it would have been best if this position set down by the arbitrator was the same one taken by OC Transpo in the aftermath of the shouting match video making into the public realm.

Firing can sometimes be the right thing, but it’s always worth exploring other options first.

The only piece of the puzzle still missing is a clear idea of what other actions constitute a firing offence when an OC Transpo employee acts out of turn. The arbitration decision doesn’t deliver that information, so it’s critically important that the management and the union sit down to hammer out a code of conduct or expectations for staff.

We expect transit riders to be respectful and we must expect no less from OC Transpo’s employees.

For the good of everyone – just get the jab

M

y lovely daughter – let’s call her Little Darling – had her 12month vaccinations this week.

Three needles consecutively, a big scream (or three) and it was all over in less than 90 seconds.

Will she be traumatized? No. Is she at higher risk for developmental problems? No. Will she develop autism? Most definitely not.

Unfortunately, there is an entire contingent of the population that puts all of us at risk – those who aren’t getting their children vaccinated.

In early July, Ottawa Public Health and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario distributed a city-wide memo stating that a case of measles in an unimmunized child has exposed up to 50 families in the city to a disease that is almost entirely preventable.

Canada’s childhood vaccination rate hovers around 84 per cent, which is dangerously low. In April, Canadian Press reported that a Unicef study on the health of children in affluent nations put Canada’s childhood vaccination rate at the bottom of a list of 30 countries.

The report went onto question the validity of the findings, due to an absence of a national vaccine registry in Canada.

But there is no question that vaccine uptake

is decreasing, evidenced by a handful of high profile outbreaks of measles and rubella in recent years.

The anti-vaccination movement gained steam following the publication of a falsified study by a British doctor and surgeon in the late 1990s that linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to autism and inflammatory bowel syndrome.

Despite the fact that the study’s main author, Andrew Wakefield, was found to be a complete fraud and had his medical license revoked, the damage from the media frenzy around his original falsified findings continues today.

Doctors and scientists have tried and failed to reproduce the results originally published

by Wakefield and his colleagues in the British medical journal, The Lancet. The journal officially retracted the study in 2010.

Even those who have dedicated their lives to discovering the root causes of autism have invalidated Wakefield’s claims. “The evidence just isn’t there to support a linkage between vaccines and the cause of autism,� Margaret Spoelstra of Autism Ontario told CTV News on July 23.

What’s most disgusting is that people – including high-profile people – continue to tout Wakefield’s claims as truth. Former Playboy Playmate, and the newest host of U.S. talk show The View, Jenny McCarthy, has actually claimed the MMR vaccine caused autism in her child and that she “cured� it by giving the child a gluten-free diet.

At the end of July, Toronto Public Health waged a Twitter campaign against McCarthy, asking The View, to reconsider having an antivaccine advocate in a position of significant influence.

For vaccines to be effective requires a critical mass in uptake. Eighty-four per cent isn’t enough.

It’s been just 58 years since the creation of the polio vaccine, which means there are people today still living with the devastating

effects of a disease that should now be eradicated.

What’s it going to take to get people to reject the falsehoods of McCarthy, Wakefield and others?

With the steady decline in childhood vaccination uptake, it may just be a deadly outbreak of some kind. But really, with all the medical evidence in support of vaccines, do we really need someone to die before we give our collective heads a shake and give the kids the jab?

Victim blaming prevents survivors from seeking support One in five Canadians believe women encourage sexual assault when they’re drunk: study News - One in five Canadians think a woman can encourage sexual assault when she’s drunk, according to a study released by the Canadian Women’s Foundation.

Cathy Lawery, program manager for the violence against women program at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, said this type of victim blaming isn’t a new concept, but the results are discouraging.

“Sure, I’m disappointed those numbers are so high,” she said. “I’m not shocked by it though.”

The resource centre, serving the communities of Kanata, Nepean, Goulbourn and West Carleton, helped 163 women between April 1 and June 30 through its violence against women program. Thirty-five of the women (21 per cent) reported they were victims of sexual assault, said Lawery.

“Of those women who come forward wanting to talk about the violence they experience, I’m confident that a lot of women haven’t disclosed the sexual violence they have experienced,” she said. “I think the numbers are even higher than that, but that’s what’s been disclosed.”

Lawery, who spent 15 years as a counsellor, said women can come back from a sexual assault but the level of healing depends on the first response care that survivors receive.

“One of the feelings that the women come in with is this whole idea of immense shame and guilt,” said Lawery. “One of the things that resonated

with me early on in my career was how the first response was.

How did friends and family respond?”

If a woman discloses she was sexually assaulted, it’s imperative she is believed, said Lawery. When met with negative reactions, such as asking what she was wearing or doing or saying, it can stall the healing process and prevent a woman from seeking support.

“The hurt and pain was as damaging, in some cases more so, than the actual assault,” she said.

Concillia Muonde, public education co-ordinator and support worker with the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa, said it’s essential to tell a woman that it’s not her fault – in those words.

“If the general population believes that you’ve brought it on yourself, (the victims) believe that. It prevents a woman from seeking support; often they can’t talk about it because they fear being judged,” she said.

“It makes a difference when you let them know it’s not their fault. It’s avoiding questions that imply it was their fault.”

Instead of focusing on what a survivor was doing or wearing at the time of the assault, ask instead: How can I support you? Is there anything I can do to support you? What would be helpful for you right now? said Muonde.

“It’s those reassuring words that break the barrier,” she said.

Sexual assault includes any unwanted touching of a sexual nature, from kissing to fondling to rape.

“If you don’t want to be touched by someone, that’s a

crime, including kissing and fondling,” said Lawery. “We often hear that the main argument was ‘She said it was OK, she was a willing participant.’ Consent can’t be given if a person is threatening a person. Consent can’t be given if a woman is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You absolutely can’t give consent when sleeping or unconscious.”

The resource centre offers a host of services through its violence against women program.

“We’re here to provide resources to the women who come in,” said Lawery. “I think a lot of people don’t come forward because they believe their power to make decisions will be taken away from them. That’s not what we do here. We’re here to provide them with options and resources so they can make an informed decision.”

Attitude change needed in order to move forward: foundation ‘Rape doesn’t happen to women just because she’s wearing a short skirt or she’s been drinking’ Continued from page 9

If a woman wants to report an assault, counsellors can help. If she just wants to talk, that’s OK too, said Lawery.

“Some women want to report it to police, and many more don’t want to – that’s OK, that’s their decision,” she said. “It’s the women’s decision to make.”

STUDY

The Canadian Women’s Foundation study found that 19 per cent of the 1,008 respondents from across the country answered that a woman may provoke or encourage sexual assault after imbibing in a few drinks; almost a quarter of the responders (23 per cent) were between the ages of 18 and 34. In Ontario, 21 per cent believe it’s a woman’s fault.

The online survey was conducted among randomly selected Canadian adults who are Angus Reid Forum panelists. The poll asked both men and women, from ages 18 to over

55, from every region of the country, all economic backgrounds and levels of education, whether a women could provoke or encourage sexual assault in six situations: when she’s drunk, if she invites a man into her home, when she flirts with a man, if she’s wearing a short skirt, when she’s walking home alone at night by herself, or in none of those situations. Seventy per cent of respondents chose the last option.

“While we expected to have some Canadians hold these beliefs, we were shocked to see how high the percentage was, especially among young people age 18 to 34,” said Sandra Diaz, vice president of marketing and communication with the Canadian Women’s Foundation.

“That (people) believe a woman would be responsible for her sexual assault is quite shocking for us.”

According to the study: • Sixteen per cent of Canadians believe a woman can encourage or provoke sexual assault by inviting a man into her home (20 per cent ages 18-34).

• Fifteen per cent think women can encourage or provoke sexual assault by flirting with a man (20 per cent for ages 18-34).

• Eleven per cent answered that women can encourage or provoke sexual assault when they wear short skirts (17 per cent for ages 18-34).

‘Why do some men think it’s OK to assault women?’

“Rape doesn’t happen to women just because she’s wearing a short skirt or she’s been drinking. By implying that a woman only dress a certain way doesn’t mean sexual assault will end.”

We would love (women) to know that there’s nothing she could wear or drink or say or do that would ever justify her being a victim of violence. That’s really very, very important.

SANDRA DIAZ VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION, CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION

“When women believe that they are being blamed or have done something to contribute to a sexual assault, they are less likely to come forward,” said Diaz. “They worry that they are not going to be believed or they believe they are going to be blamed and shamed.”

When people hear of a sexual assault, “Often the first things people ask is ‘How did she get herself into that situation?’” said Diaz. “The question we should be asking (is)

Diaz said the findings and attitudes should be “deeply insulting” to men because they imply that men can’t control their base urges.

“We would love (women) to know that there’s nothing she could wear or drink or say or do that would ever justify her being a victim of violence. That’s really very, very important,” she added.

As a country, we’ve seen a “massive shift” when it comes to driving under the influence, said Diaz. Now

it’s time to start creating an attitude change towards survivors of sexual assault.

“Ending sexual assault will only happen when we’re having honest conversations ... about how rape is never OK and understanding what consent is.

“We are in many ways in collective denial about sexual assault. For a long time we haven’t been talking openly enough.”

Muonde said the results from the survey, although shocking and disappointing, will help public educators see where they need to target information.

“We’re hoping to be at a time now where (victim blaming is) the exception, not the rule. To learn that the younger generation has the same belief is shocking and disappointing,” she said, adding education needs to start at an earlier age.

“We need to reach elementary schools when those attitudes sort of start to form,” she said. “We tend to only be able to reach them in high school or university where they have whatever belief they have about women’s behaviour.

“We as violence against women educators, we have a lot of work to do.”

Canadian Women’s Foundation helps women recover and rebuild Canadian Women’s Foundation

In 2013, it is shocking that sexual assault victim-blaming is still a serious issue in our society.

This sentiment fosters a sense of selfblame in women who have been victims of sexual assault and is one of the reasons why less than 10 per cent of sexual assaults are actually reported to police.

“The belief that women are responsible for sexual assault because of their actions or appearance is still common in our society, and can cause women who have suffered abuse to stay silent and often feel responsible for what happened to them,” says Anu Dugal, director of violence pre-

vention at the Canadian Women’s Foundation.

“We want to help women and girls understand that assault is never their fault.”

In addition to physical trauma, sexual assault victims commonly have long-term and serious psychological effects that may include depression, self-blame, shame, fear, and anger.

The programs funded by the Canadian Women’s Foundation help women recover and rebuild their lives through counselling, legal advice and safety planning.

If you have been sexually assaulted: • Safety - Go to a safe place.

• Report it – If you want to report the crime, notify the police immediately. This can help you regain a sense of control.

Consider also calling a friend or family member who can offer support.

• Save the evidence – Do not shower, eat, drink, wash your hands or brush your teeth after the assault until after you have a medical exam. Save all the clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault in a paper bag.

• Get medical help – Go to a hospital or

• Document – Write down as much as you remember about the assault, including a description of the assailant.

• Get emotional support – Talk to a counsellor, crisis line or community organization that is trained to assist victims of sexual assault. Counseling can help you cope with the emotional and physical effects of the assault. Remember that the assault is not your fault.

The thing was toying with me at this point, hunkering in the weeds, waiting for my buddies to turn and start ridiculing me. I could sense they were about to break the silence when the boat began to shift to the left. All of us on board met eyes, then sat down ever so gently.

“Derek. What is that?”

The other one intercepted: “I don’t know, but I’m scared.

Hold me,” he said, giddy with laughter.

It shot away about six times over the next 10 minutes.

Kicking myself for being too cheap to change the line at the beginning of the season, I was scared the 10-pound test would snap. It eventually rose to the top of the water to scare us off.

About a dozen oh-my-Gods later, with me still gripping the rod, full of pop confidence, it came up again, this time on the other side. Later, back at my place, one friend would say, “I was just grateful to see it come to surface.”

We finally got it next to the boat. A monster northern. My buddy, who could be Milan Lucic’s bodyguard, managed to pull it in the boat. Thirty-nine

inches. About 17 pounds. Biggest fish I’d ever caught.

When the pike settled in at the back of the boat like the tiger in Life of Pi, I swear it kind of frowned. Looking each of us up and down, huddled together at the front of the boat, three islanders closer to Anne of Green Gables than Barrett’s Privateers, it seemed to be thinking: “How the hell did I let these losers pull me in this crappy boat?”

One of us may have peed, that’s all I’m going to say about that. Just one of us, though. It was pretty sad.

And yet it was also that exhilarating and … reverential.

After hours upon hours of staring at dark water, the lifeless void, to have it shattered by a being so full of life, absolutely brimming with an ancient and savage life force: you cannot help but be in awe.

And crave to get back on the water.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

I’m sure many of you have heard this one, but when my barber told me and I relayed it to my kids, we laughed and laughed and vowed to try it.

Dip a fillet of any fish in egg, then flour, then – wait for it – crushed potato chips! Maybe salt and vinegar. Can’t go wrong with crisp-fried potatoes placed in a skillet of oil. Makes the arteries cringe.

ull disclosure.

I’m not much of a fisherman. I spent the first 29 years of my life on an island (P.E.I.) with little to no sport fishing. So when I came up to Ottawa and was taken out to catch my first pike – a baby by most standards – I was hooked. And ever since then I’ve been fascinated by the act of fishing, but even more so by the stories people tell.

This time around, though, it’s my turn.

A couple of weeks back I was on the Madawaska between the launch at Clay Bank and the bridge to White Lake, not far from Arnprior. I was with a couple of friends from the island. They fish a bit: pay a small fortune once a year to fish a bass-stocked pond in a western New Brunswick.

(Valley anglers have no idea the pains others go through to catch fish.)

Suffice to say it was a “vintage” boat of three yokels with next to no chance of landing the big one. Put another way, the fish under us were not exactly quaking in their boots.

I’m sure some of the poppers and cheap-bin lures tossed in elicited a few bubbly giggles from below.

Nevertheless we were happy just to get on the water. The size of the river amazed them, along with all the nooks and crannies. One buddy was calling the shots most of the day, saying where we should try; Maritime and central Canada fish are basically the same, right? Apparently not. We pulled up a few small guys and took photos more as a joke than anything else.

It wasn’t until we were on our way back that I made the executive decision to fish a weedy area at the bottom of an open field with blinking cows.

I wanted to stand up and roar to them: “O my sisters/I give purple milk!” But, alas, my friends disapprove of quoting the wine-swilling poet Al Purdy.

We sort of drifted into the area. I don’t have a fish finder (which my kids call a ‘rock finder’ for reasons better left for another time), so I didn’t want to slam into mud. Turns out that was the right approach. I was trolling with a six-inch blackon-gold broken-back lure.

Now – no one knows better than I when a lure gets snagged. I’m a pro at catching weeds and logs and rocks and tires and… enough said. This was no snag. I flubbed setting hook, partly because I had the steering wheel in one hand and

iPlay, located in the Bell Sensplex in Kanata, will power down for the last time on Aug. 3. The social gaming centre is closing its doors as online gaming becomes more of a solitary experience.

iPlay powers down Gaming centre closing doors after 11 years Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - iPlay will power down on Aug. 3 after 11 years of serving the gaming community in Kanata.

The local area network (LAN) multiplayer gaming centre, located in the Bell Sensplex, decided to close its doors as more gamers stay home to play online in solitary comfort.

“It’s time has come,” said founder Dave Lee, who lives in Stittsville but grew up in Glen Cairn. “We actually lasted longer than I originally anticipated.”

Lee began his business venture in 2002 after networking nine computers in his home, which became a hub of gaming activity. Neighbours and friends would pop over to play, enjoying

the social aspect of gaming in the same room.

“Everyone was addicted. We’d play until four in the morning,” he said. “It was a crazy idea at the time because it had never been done.

It just took off from there.” iPlay created a more social experience for gamers, allowing them to play face-to-face and meet other people who enjoyed the same pursuits.

“This was the purpose of iPlay – to create a social setting for gamers to come together in person and develop relationships and friendships outside of the video gaming (world). I would say that we have been very successful as we have made a lot of friends along the way and it will be very sad to say goodbye to them as we power down for the last time,” said Lee. “It’s kind of sad to see it go.”

Social gaming isn’t popular with the generation of millennials, said Lee. They prefer to sit and play by themselves at home, using the Internet to connect with others around the world.

“With the technology, it’s sadly becoming a very solitary experience,” Lee said.

“It’s kind of sad that millennials, this next generation, is the most connected via social media but unfortunately they’re the most disconnected because they’re not really interacting face to face with one another.”

patrons are posting their memories on iPlay’s Facebook page.

“It is wild,” said Lee. “It’s kind of touching. Kids who didn’t really feel like they belonged, they found a sanctuary.”

Watching these people meeting in person for the first time was pretty neat. These people played years forever and then met at iPlay.

MEMORIES

iPlay has hosted thousands of birthday parties, summer camps, team parties and tournaments, said Lee. “We had a really good run,” he said, adding his fondest memories are of the children and facilitating a meeting place for people.

One occasion that stands out in Lee’s mind was an event for World of Warcraft, a popular online multiplayer game, where people who had played together for years had the opportunity to meet in person.

“Watching these people meeting in person for the first time was pretty neat,” he said.

“These people played years forever and then met at iPlay.”

Lee said watching his patrons grow up is also something he’ll cherish.

“They come back and they’ve graduated university and they’re engineers. It just blows my mind,” he said, adding many past and present

Lee said he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of opening a new iPlay location in the future.

“There’s a chance I might reopen but I’d be purchasing my own commercial building. We do have a lot of regulars,” he said.

There will be a “last chance” session on Aug. 2 from 5 to 10 p.m. and the gaming centre will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Aug. 3.

“It’s kind of sad to see it go but it’s time has come, kind of like the video rental store,” Lee said.

Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, August 1, 2013 15

An open letter to all Canadians Bell Canada is taking the unusual step of writing to all Canadians today. As the nation’s longest-serving telecommunications company, established shortly after Confederation in 1880, we would like to ensure Canadians clearly understand a critical situation impacting their world-leading wireless industry.

Verizon Communications, a $120-billion US telecommunications giant with 100 million wireless customers, is considering entering the Canadian market. A company of this scale certainly doesn’t need handouts from Canadians or special regulatory advantages over Canadian companies. But that is exactly what they get in the new federal wireless regulations.

Bell welcomes any competitor, but they should compete on a level playing field. Fair competition is something Canadians demand and something Bell expects too after 133 years of investment in delivering world-class communications services to Canadians.

Unintended advantages for American giants: How we got here The federal government has recently taken an activist role in regulating Canada’s wireless industry. That includes giving various benefits to small startup wireless competitors. With Ottawa’s help, the new companies have become part of the vigorously competitive Canadian wireless marketplace.

But the government inadvertently left holes in the wireless rules that would give big US corporations the same extraordinary advantages as the small startups. And all Canadians are on the hook to pay.

Verizon has said it’s looking at taking advantage of this unique opportunity. We do not believe a US company 4x the size of Canada’s entire wireless industry combined requires special help from Canada. It’s profoundly unfair to all Canadians, and Ottawa needs to close the loopholes.

3 loopholes in the rules Under federal regulations originally designed for startup competitors, Verizon would actually get these benefits…

1. Verizon would be able to buy twice as much of Canada’s airwaves as Canadian companies like Bell can in an upcoming auction of wireless spectrum – the airwaves that carry your calls and data.

These airwaves are a public resource, and access to them is critical to providing you with world-leading wireless services. When Ottawa auctions off Canada’s airwaves for use by telecommunications companies, it gets significant revenues. These are public funds.

It is inappropriate for our own government to essentially reserve a public resource for a company like Verizon to the detriment of Canadian companies. In doing so, the government will also reduce federal auction revenue significantly – by potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. A loophole that gives US companies access to twice as much of our airwaves and at a lower cost is an unfair advantage, paid for by Canadians.

2. They get to piggyback on the networks of Canadian carriers wherever they don’t want to invest and build their own.

Under the rules, Verizon would have the right to offer wireless service using the advanced networks funded by Canadian companies and built by Canadian workers. Industry experts say a Verizon wouldn’t need to build its own network throughout Canada, invest in Canada’s rural communities, or support Canadian jobs like Canadian wireless companies do. Instead, they would concentrate on a few big urban centres, forcing Canadian carriers to do the same while potentially cutting jobs and slashing costs in order to compete.

3. Verizon can acquire smaller Canadian competitors – but Bell and other Canadian wireless companies can’t even try.

American players like Verizon can buy up new Canadian wireless companies like Wind Mobile and Mobilicity at cut-rate prices – including their existing spectrum holdings previously subsidized by Canadian taxpayers. Yet Canadian carriers like Bell are restricted from competing to acquire these Canadian startups, even if the new companies want it to happen. That means Verizon gets them for below-market value.

What did Ottawa get from the United States in return for this unprecedented access to Canada? Nothing. No reciprocity in the US for Canadian companies. In fact, can you even imagine Canadian wireless companies getting preferred access to New York, Los Angeles or Chicago?

3 straightforward ways to close the loopholes The Bell team is ready to compete with anyone for your business on a level playing field. But big US companies taking advantage of rules designed to help Canadian startups is just not on the level.

To get wireless policy back on track, we propose that…

1. Canadian wireless carriers should be able to bid for the same amount of Canada’s airwaves as Americans can.

2. US operators entering Canada should roll out wireless service across the country, just as Canadian companies have.

3. If a small Canadian wireless company seeks a buyer, Canadian carriers should be allowed to bid, just as the Americans can.

US giants don’t need special help from the Canadian government, and Canadians shouldn’t have to pay their way into the country.

Instead, let’s give Canada’s own communications companies a fair chance to compete with them.

Sincerely,

George Cope, President and CEO, Bell Canada and BCE

We’re not the only ones concerned “Why would Ottawa create a policy environment that favours a U.S. telecom giant and deliberately trashes the shareholders of the major Canadian wireless players?”

Terence Corcoran, Financial Post, June 27, 2013

“But there is no basis for the Commission to give certain large companies a regulatory hand-out… so they can acquire spectrum… at a substantial discount over the price that would otherwise be received.”

Verizon, Regulatory filing to the FCC on U.S. Incentive Auctions, March 12, 2013

“In fact a report published last week commissioned by the CRTC suggested a similar conclusion (that wireless prices have come down meaningfully since 2008) – so we’re not entirely sure where Industry Canada is getting its data about the market not being competitive. Then again, the government wouldn’t let a little data get in the way of a good lever for getting votes, and that’s clearly what is going on here.”

Bob Bek, CIBC World Markets, July 12, 2013

“The perception that Canadian prices are high relative to other jurisdictions has been seized upon by the government as an invitation to intervene and deliver lower prices. But the perception is false and the invitation is illogical.”

Dr. Jeffrey Church and Andrew Wilkins of the University of Calgary, The Globe and Mail, July 8, 2013

“…the federal government’s anything-goes market interventions to support a fourth carrier have so gerrymandered the rules to favour Verizon sweeping in that any investor seriously interested in buying shares in Canadian telecom companies should be spooked.”

Sean Silcoff, The Globe and Mail, June 27, 2013

“This will mean significant layoffs which could easily trump the hiring to be done

by Verizon, which besides a needed presence in retail outlets, should be able to initially handle a lot of functions (marketing, billing) from the United States.”

Adam Shine, National Bank Financial, June 26, 2013

“Unlike the national incumbents in Canada, we wonder if Verizon has a strategy for wireless broadband in rural markets, a key political consideration for the current Conservative Government.”

Moroccan chicken just peachy Lifestyle - Influenced by a Moroccan tagine, this dish has lots of nuts and fruit and is very aromatic and flavourful.

Preparation time: 45 minutes.

Cooking time: 45 minutes.

Marinating time: two hours.

Serves four.

• 5 peaches, halved and pitted • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 2 lemons, zested and juiced • 50 ml (1/4 cup) almonds or hazelnuts • 250 ml (1 cup) fresh mint, torn • 25 ml (2 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil • Freshly ground black pepper

Ingredients

• 10 ml (2 tsp) each ground turmeric and sweet paprika • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) each ground cumin and ground ginger • 5 ml (1 tsp) black pepper • 5 ml (1 tsp) cayenne pepper (optional) • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each ground cinnamon and cardamom • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) kosher salt • 6 cloves garlic, minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs Quinoa

• 1 onion • 325 ml (1-1/3 cups) quinoa, well rinsed and drained • 2 bay leaves • Kosher salt

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the turmeric, paprika, cumin, ginger, black pepper, cayenne (if you’re using it), cinnamon, cardamom, salt, garlic and vegetable oil to make a paste. Add the chicken to the paste and coat well.

Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.

Cut the onion into quarters, leaving as much of the root end on as possible. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa, bay leaves and onion.

Add 650 ml (2-2/3 cups) of water, a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes or until tender. Let cool to room temperature and discard the bay leaves and onion.

“That was way to easy!”

Toss two of the halved peaches in with the remaining vegetable oil and pinch of salt.

Tear off a large piece of foil and place peaches, cut side down on the foil. Seal to form packet.

Place on grill over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally or until peaches are quite soft.

Let cool.

Place the chicken, skin side down, on greased grill over medium-high heat.

Grill for 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced or when a meat thermometer reaches 74 C (165 F).

Peel the grilled peaches and place them in large bowl with the lemon zest and half the lemon juice, then mash with a fork.

Slice remaining peaches and add to bowl. Add cooked quinoa, nuts, mint and olive oil; stir to combine.

Adjust seasoning and add lemon juice to taste. Divide among four plates and top each with a chicken thigh.

Service dog pulls veteran from brink of despair Program trains dogs to aid soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder News - After coming back from his last tour in Afghanistan, Master Cpl. Bill Nachuk was in a dark place.

Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the active Canadian Forces member and veteran of additional tours in Israel, Syria and Bosnia, couldn’t reconnect with life in Canada.

In danger of being discharged, unable to leave his house or handle a growing anxiety, Nachuk attempted suicide four times over a six-month period. “(You lose) everything you enjoyed about living,� he said. “You just want to hibernate.�

The medication he was prescribed only made him feel numb, he said. “It doesn’t change your life habits ‌ it numbs you.â€?

But Gambler, a white Australian cattle dog with black and brown speckles and a black patch of fur over his right eye, saved Nachuk from being “either in the ground or jobless and roaming the streets.�

BUILT EACH OTHER UP

Sitting in the basement of the Manotick Legion, one wouldn’t guess that Nachuk had once been incapable of smiling, laughing or even talking with another person two years earlier.

Gambler, a rescued dog, was trained as a medical service canine and was the first service dog allowed on a military base with an active member. The pooch is Nachuk’s constant companion and a source of comfort.

While talking in the legion, Gambler doesn’t take his eyes off Nachuk.

He sits or lies next to his handler, always touching. “The dog gives you a sense of protection,� said Nachuk, now posted to CFB Gagetown, as he stroked the dog’s fur. “He won’t leave my side.�

In a two-year time period, Gambler has helped Nachuk turn his life around. “I took a gamble on him, he took a gamble on me and we built each other up,â€? said Nachuk. “He saved my life, he saved my career. “You find yourself laughing (at the dog’s antics) ‌ It’s behaviour modification; it’s retraining you,â€? he added. “Having a dog forces you to get out of the house. It forces you to interact with people.â€?

Now in the top 10 of his rank, Nachuk is on a mission to raise awareness about the MSAR (Manitoba Search And Rescue) elite PTSD program, which trains and matches service dogs with Canadian soldiers and veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. “We’ve lost a lot of ourselves,� said Nachuk. “Help us get our lives back.�

So far, 82 PTSD service dogs have

been certified and matched with soldiers. The MSAR elite PTSD service dog program is hoping to raise enough funds to open a treatment centre in Winnipeg, where more dogs can receive training to help more Canadian Forces members from across the country.

SERVICE DOGS

The MSAR elite service dog program was developed by George Leonard, a certified master trainer, eight years ago. Leonard, a First Nations band constable and elite search commander for the province of Manitoba, and his trainers volunteer their time to train the dogs at Leonard’s home. “We get a lot of military people in our association; everyone volunteers their time for something,� he said. “I just happen to be a dog trainer. The benefit I have is I can train dogs for people with special needs.�

Many of the dogs come from various rescue organizations and can be trained in up to three levels of service, which costs between $7,000 and $15,000 per dog. The organization is well off in terms of canines to train, but the funding is another matter.

It survives, to date, entirely on donations and fundraising.

A number of organizations have stepped forward, such as CVet’s Pets, a volunteer not-for profit started by Winnipeg Blue Bomber Chris Cvetkovic, which donates the starter kits for dogs in training; West Jet, which provides employee passes for flights; Wounded Warriors and Veterans UNNato.

But Leonard said he’s expecting a shortfall of more than $165,000 this year. He added it would be great if Veterans Affairs or the Royal Canadian Legion took the project under their wings. “It’d be nice if they could cover those costs. It takes time away for us if we have to do all the fundraising,� he said. “They could fund this in a heartbeat.�

Leonard has his own service dog, Benny – the youngest pup to be certified at only eight months old. As an emergency service worker, Leonard has seen things that haunt him. His

MASTER CPL. BILL NACHUK AND GAMBLER PTSD manifests itself as aggression but Benny helps him to stay calm. “He’s an amazing little dog,� he said about the now one-year-old Australian shepherd. “He’s so cute; everyone’s so happy to be around him, so I don’t get aggressive. “He prevents me from strangling people. My PTSD is aggression,� said Leonard, a former boxer with martial arts training. “I’m the last person you want to get upset. That’s the way I look at it.�

The goal for Leonard is to help anyone with PTSD who wants to be paired with a pooch. If the program can help 130 soldiers, it’s not just the individual being helped – it’s also 130 families who have been affected by PTSD in some way, he said. “These are our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers. They have the right to return to the way of life they had before they went into service. That’s one of the goals we’re trying to go for.�

So far, 82 dogs have been certified, another 37 are in the process of training and 40 more are on the waiting list.

Each dog is reassessed every year; if a person’s condition changes, the dog receives additional training to match the needs of its handler, said Leonard.

help. When he found out Leonard was raising funds to build a training facility, Guilbeault said he was all for it and he started rallying the community. “In my opinion I think it brought the community together and (raised) awareness,� he said. “I thought it was great.�

The inaugural event was thrown together quickly he said, adding “I haven’t seen anything like this in a long time.�

Guilbeault is hoping to make the event an annual fundraiser for the service dog program after talking with the soldiers and meeting their canine companions. “The more we can do in the program the better,â€? Leonard said. “They’ve gone and done their part, protected our way and our rights. Now that they’re coming home ‌ we need to provide for them.â€?

Information on Inlet Control Devices: In order to address the questions that my office has received from residents in our community asking about why they are experiencing water ponding on their streets during heavy rain events, I would like to share the following information:

Rotary club gives students helping hand Rotary Club of Ottawa Kanata Sunrise

Community - The Rotary Club of Ottawa Kanata Sunrise presented $100 and $200 bursary awards on July 24 to three local students, nominated by their schools, for their leadership and community service.

Jonathon Arnot, a student at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, participated in the orientation of new and Grade 9 students

New Rules for Backyard Pools in Effect

Across the City, storm sewers are designed to handle frequent rainfall events. During heavier events there is a possibility for more rainfall than what the storm sewers can handle. At that point water accumulates on the road. It is simply not feasible to build sewers large enough to capture very large rainfall events. This is a consistent practice, even in new developments - Using roads in order to channel the water to storm ponds, drainage outlets, or even to slow the flow in order to allow the sewers to manage the increased volume of water.

The purpose of the inlet control devices (ICDs), which are being installed throughout the City, is to control the water that gets into the storm sewers to a flow that the pipes can handle. This is a key feature to reduce the risk of basements from flooding since without these devices the sewers could get overloaded and the water would back up towards people’s properties.

As a result of the installation of the ICDs, people may experience water on the street more frequently. The water should drain within an hour at most after the end of the rain.

It is recognized that this can be an inconvenience for drivers, but we can all agree that it is better to have water on the street for a short period of time than in people’s basements at any time.

Grannies ride to turn the tide in September Grassroot Grannies

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North INFORMATION ON KNL DEVELOPMENTS The last public meeting (June 2013) was the final one on the City’s Drainage Study which will be the basis on which KNL develops the drainage system for their approved subdivision (passed by Council in 2003 and approved by the OMB in 2006). At that time, in response to the public, I committed to ensuring that the KNL drainage plans would be made available to the public. I’m happy to announce that City staff have agreed and will post the proposed subdivision plan, together with the detailed studies and plans, on www.ottawa.ca/devapps once the submission is complete – these typically include the Environmental Impact Statement, Stormwater Management Plan, Servicing Brief, Tree Conservation Plan and Noise Assessment. Community Associations will be informed when these are posted. I will note it in my column and anyone can review them online.

CROSSING GUARDS

FILE

The Grassroot Grannies completed their third-annual Ride to Turn the Tide event on Sept. 7, 2012. The group of grandmothers, grandfathers and grand-others raised more than $43,000.

The Ottawa Safety Council is contracted by the City to provide crossing guards where approved by the City following an evaluation. This year a number of new locations will start in September. I understand that some are in Kanata North. The Safety Council is looking for adults for the new locations. This is a paid position for up to 1.5 hours in the morning and the same in the afternoon on school days at a rate of $32.13 per day. For more information or to apply for a position call (613) 238-1513 or email kathleen.cameron@ottawasafetycouncil.ca

DOGS IN THE PARK Staff who make the decision on where dogs must be on leash or where they are permitted to run (but under control) have informed me that they are just waiting for confirmation on some of the parks from the recreation and parks department.

They will provide me with the list of parks showing their category and post them on the City’s website.

COMMUNITY GARDENS The Kanata Chinese Seniors and the Briarbrook/Morgan’s Grant Community Association have been working on the development of a community garden for some time. Depending upon final funding approval, the plan is to have a number of raised garden plots in the hydro easement that passes through Morgan’s Grant.

This land is owned by the City but is not designated as a park. The result has been minimal maintenance with many weeds including poison parsnip (stay away from this plant which looks like Queen Anne’s Lace with yellow flowers – it can cause serious burns). I am trying to find uses for the corridor that would enhance the maintenance while providing a benefit to the community.

ROAD CLOSURE DELAYED Once again the closure of the west bound ramp from March Road (southbound) onto the 417 has been delayed. The closure is now scheduled for Friday August 9th at 10 pm and will continue for about 12 weeks.

Community - Grassroot Grannies and friends are busy training for their fourth annual Ride to Turn the Tide fundraising cycle tour on Sept. 4 to 6.

The 270-kilometre bicycle tour starts at Bushtukah store on 5607 Hazeldean Rd. in Stittsville on Sept. 4 at 9 a.m., and returns two and a half days later to the same location.

The purpose of the fourth-annual event is to show support and raise money and awareness for African grandmothers facing the daily challenge of rearing their orphaned grandchildren.

These women have faced the devastation of losing their children to HIV/AIDS and are now struggling to raise their grandchildren. The challenge of the Ride is just a fraction of the challenge the African grandmothers face every day of their lives, said the group.

Along the cycling route, we will be supported with food and friendship by the Mississippi Grannies in Almonte; Lanark County Grannies in Perth; The United Church, Merrickville, and Grannies All About Kids in Metcalfe.

Individual riders pay their own costs.

The cyclists are actively seeking donations and hope to exceed last year’s total of more than $45,000. All donations are sent to The Stephen Lewis Foundation.

The Blues beat the host club, the Kanata Cubs 7-3 in the semifinals on July 27 but lost their chance at the pennant after an 8-1 loss against Nepean the next day.

The teams were evenly matched in the first apparent. By the third year, there two innings, but by the third inning, thanks is severe dieback and little foliage. to a few well-timed singles and stolen bases, Ash can tolerate small numbers of EAB larvae but trees are girdled and killed when populations become more numerous.

When the adults emerge, they create small, 1/8 inch D-shaped exit holes that are characteristic of this insect, although they can be hard to see. If you were to remove the bark on the trunk of a tree showing these symptoms, you should also find the larval galleries. Woodpecker attacks on ash could also indicate the presence of emerald ash borers.

Nepean had a 4-0 lead.

Nepean beat the Oakville Whitecaps in the semifinals.

The team headed to Lethbridge Alta on July 31 to represent Canada in the Junior Canadian Little League Championships in Lethbridge, Alta.

President of the Kanata Little League Baseball Association Paul O’Kane, said eight teams came from as far away as Windsor and Thunder Bay to compete in the provincial championships.

“It’s the first time in a number of years that Kanata has hosted the championships,” he said.

“It went exceptionally well. The only complaints we had were rain on one day caused us to reschedule some games.”

O’Kane said the week-long event, which kicked off with a dinner at Stanley’s Restaurant at the Bell Sensplex on July 22, wouldn’t have been possible without the dozens of volunteers who helped out.

News - For Richard Jurweicz, cycling is freedom.

It’s a feeling he’s trying to give future Canadians living with multiple sclerosis, by raising money to help with research and treatment.

The Kanata resident has been cycling with the MS Bike Tour since its inception 24 years ago – raising almost $90,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

Jurweicz started cycling because his wife was diagnosed with the disease after an attack that left her without feeling from the waist down. That was in 1986.

“We were on the way to Montreal Expo and we couldn’t go any further,” Jurweicz said, adding the diagnosis came after a battery of tests.

His wife has been in a wheelchair for the last seven years, and used a walker and canes before that. Despite her limited mobility, she continues to work.

“A lot of healthcare workers have urged her to stay home, but she said if she stays home I might as well put her in a coffin,” Jurweicz said. “Her mobility may be affected, but her mind is fine.”

According to the MS society, an estimated 75,000 Canadians are affected by MS. The symptoms are unpredictable and vary greatly depending on the person, but typically include loss of mobility and motor function. It’s usually diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40.

Jurweicz said he has spent a lot of time over the last couple of decades educating the public about the impacts of the disease.

In 2010, he received the Caregiver of the Year Award from the MS society for his commitment to caring for his wife.

“I spoke to a working group on the Hill last year about new legislation that would create tax leniency and other supports for caregivers,” Jurweicz said.

The society is a great support, he added. There are equipment loaning libraries and programs like the one at the Nepean Sailing Club where his wife can get out on the water in a boat without her wheelchair or another one where she can go gliding in a two-seater plane. The most important part, he said, is the connection with people who can provide the mental and emotional support for those suffering with MS and their families.

Jurweicz said he hopes to reach the $100,000 mark in funds he personally raised when he participates in the 25th MS Bike Tour next year.

The cycle itself starts at the Metcalfe Arena on Aug. 10 at 8 a.m., taking riders on a 100-kilometre, twoday route to Cornwall.

Last year the tour hosted 600 cyclists and raised $454,000 locally. This year the goal is $470,000.

Fairwinds community holds first ever summer barbecue John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Youngsters and parents have fun with a multi-coloured parachute and an assortment of balls at the Fairwinds summer barbecue at Bandmaster Park in Stittsville on July 27.

News - The adult rock band Spiderkillers entertained residents at Bandmaster Park in Stittsville for the first Fairwinds summer barbecue.

The event featured music, a street organ, a barbecue and performances by the Pointe of Grace Dance

Company, Cooligan Martial Arts and the Junkyard Symphony.

Youngsters were invited to turn on and off a firefighting hose under the supervision of Ottawa firefighters.

SpiderKillers set up at the foot of a driveway at a home on Mistral Way adjacent to Bandmaster Park for its performance which started at 7:20 p.m.

A number of youngsters danced on Mistral Way in front of the band while the rest of the audience of about 150 sat or stood around the nearby grassed parkland, taking in the performance.

SpiderKillers agreed to perform for free after hearing that all proceeds raised at the event were going to be donated to the Stittsville Food Bank. Two of the band members recently moved to the Fairwinds area and longtime lead singer Cathy Hallessey teaches music in Stittsville.

SpiderKillers has existed since 2007 with Hallessey as one of the original members. The band plays at various locations around the city, usually about once a month. The band used to play at Louisiannie’s in downtown Stittsville.

Members of SpiderKillers are Hallessey, vocals, Brian Brodersen, guitar, Ryan Shearer, bass guitar; and Frank DaSilva, drummer (his drums had a spider and web on the front of the drum set) and backup vocals.

But this performance was only the topping on the cake for the summer barbecue.

There was tons of fun for youngsters at the event, ranging from face painting to tug-of-war to making bubbles in the air with racquets to moving balls by flapping a colourful parachute.

And, of course, the play structure at Bandmaster Park saw plenty of action during the event.

Alan Rushforth was on hand, churning out music

on his handmade street organ, complete with two miniature moose set up in front of the organ. His street organ music wafted over Bandmaster Park, adding a carnival atmosphere to the gathering.

Hamburgers and hotdogs were sold at the event. The barbecue’s lineup was at times nearly halfway across the park and the servers kept pumping out food until 6:30 p.m. when everything was all gone with an estimated 500 people having been served.

There was also a bake sale with items donated by community members.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri and his crew were there providing sno-cones and cotton candy, both sweet treats for young and the not so young.

Dancers from the Pointe of Grace Dance Company presented a couple of dance routines on the grass at the park, with viewers of all ages gathering around to watch on the warm, late afternoon under slightly overcast skies.

These dancers were later followed by a martial arts demonstration.

A number of prizes were given away in a raffle draw.

Ayah Stretch, one of the event organizers, drew the winning numbers following the Junkyard Symphony performance, with those who held the winning tickets getting their pick of the prizes available, all donated by local businesses.

The event raised $308 as well as 20 bags filled with donated canned foods for the Stittsville Food Bank.

North Dundas woman ID’d as murder victim West Carleton Review

Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Friends were remembering North Dundas woman Melissa Richmond, as a caring person and loving wife after learning of her murder on Monday evening.

Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold Less than a week earlier, Richmond spent the evening with her husband, Location_MyriadPro_Bold Howard, and friends before heading ALL TYPE out for a drive to OUTLINED unwind, said longtime friend Shelley Rabinovitch.

On Friday, her gold Sebring was discovered in the parking lot of South Keys Shopping Centre near Kelsey’s restaurant. Richmond’s body was discovered nearby two days later on the morning of Sunday, July 28.

Although friends and family expected an autopsy to identify the body as Richmond’s, Rabinovitch said “a certain excruciating finality” came with the news.

Richmond’s husband, Howard – a close friend of Rabinovitch’s – was “completely shattered,” she said. The husband didn’t get an update until late Monday afternoon after Rabinovitch contacted police upon learning from a friend that a police press release was about to be issued.

“I was very upset because another member of the media had informed me that a press release was about to go out and they were just waiting for the French translation, and I knew damn well they hadn’t told Howard because I had been in (his) house for four days,” she said.

How her friend ended up dead in Ottawa is a mystery, said Rabinovitch, who couldn’t think of anyone who didn’t love Richmond.

“There was no one who ever met her who didn’t love her immediately,” Rabinovitch said.

Officers search for clues in the bushes beside Kelsey’s restaurant in the South Keys shopping centre on the morning of Monday, July 29.

FACEBOOK

On Monday, July 29, police identified a body found at South Keys Shopping Centre as that of Melissa Richmond, 28, of North Dundas. She had been missing from her home south of Winchester since Wednesday, July 24.

Police said they don’t have any information about suspects.

“We really thought she had just bugged out to be with a friend or something, or, that she had run off into a ditch and been injured,” Rabinovitch said. “Absolutely nobody assumed that a loved one goes away for an hour and is the victim of random violence.”

“I’m just hoping and praying they get DNA out from under her fingernails or something,” Rabinovitch said.

It wasn’t uncommon for Richmond, a dental hygienist, to go for a drive to unwind, Rabinovitch said.

South Keys was a regular destination

for Richmond and her husband to catch a movie or meet up with friends from an historical re-enactment group they are members of called the Society for Creative Anachronism.

“She’s like me. It’s like, ‘I’m just rolling out for a drive and I’ll be back in a little while,’” Rabinovitch said. “She just found it very relaxing and she was just out having a night drive.”

Rabinovitch, who lives in South Keys, speculated that the Denny’s restaurant at the plaza might have been her friend’s destination, since it is open 24/7.

Richmond had been in good spirits when she left her home south of

presented by

Winchester, she said goodbye to her husband before leaving without her cellphone, Rabinovitch said.

Rabinovitch has known Richmond for a decade and described her as bright, vivacious and bubbly.

“She was just loving and charismatic and silly and beautiful,” Rabinovitch said. “I don’t know anyone personally who didn’t like her.”

Rabinovitch acted as Richmond’s mentor for historic re-enactment and role-playing. They are both members of the Canton of Harrowgate Heath, a local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism whose members meet regularly to celebrate and recreate the heritage of the European Middle Ages.

“It’s been almost a mother-daughter relationship,” Rabinovitch said.

“We were very close.”

Alarm bells went off about 12 hours later, when family members realized she hadn’t made her way to Petawawa, where her military family resides, and she wasn’t with friends.

That launched an organized search that saw approximately 40 of Richmond’s friends and even strangers – many of them members of the Canadian Forces – combing back roads searching for her car.

On Monday morning the investigation continued at the South Keys shopping centre, where five officers were searching through the bushes separating a ravine from the Kelsey’s parking lot.

The restaurant was closed and police tape surrounding the parking lot cordoned off the area and emergency services and underwater search and rescue vehicles were on site, along with two white trailers.

A manager from the neighbouring Denny’s restaurant said police reviewed security camera footage from that restaurant.

Anyone with information about the investigation is urged to call OPP at 613-236-1222 ext. 5493.

News - A local ATV club was successful in getting city council’s blessing for a controversial new path network, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be hitting the trails any time soon.

Although council’s approval was confirmed in a unanimous vote on June 11, the city’s legal department still needs to draft up the proper paperwork, including the license of occupation agreement to give the Nation Valley ATV Club access to

city-owned road allowances. The 31-kilometre network also includes 8.3 km on some roads, including Blanchfield Road. Residents on that street have been vocally opposed to the plan since they were made aware of it shortly before the two-year pilot project was approved by the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee on May 6.

Any potential conflicts between all-terrain vehicle drivers and nearby residents will likely be put off until the spring of 2014, when the riders are able to hit the trails in earnest.

City paperwork should be wrapped up in the coming weeks, but ATV club members will still have to head in to clear some of the trails, put up signs and make them safe to traverse.

“Council can say ‘you’re allowed,’ but in reality it’s a long process and it’s not as simple as people think,” said Kris Gough, an Osgoode resident and ATV club member who has been leading the charge to create the trail network.

“We’re on hold,” he added.

Depending on how many volunteers come out in the fall to help clean up the trails, ATVs could begin riding some parts of the trail in the late fall.

But the entire network and official opening event will likely wait until the spring, Gough said.

The club is able to start reaching out to property owners whose land could provide an alternate route to keep ATVs off public roads like Blanchfield Road. Gough had scheduled a meeting last week with officials from Carleton University, since the university owns a tract of land that could provide a short detour off the main roadway.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson offered to set up a working group with a couple of concerned residents and a couple of ATV club members in order to establish an ongoing dialog about issues. That hasn’t materialized yet, said Blanchfield Road resident Heather Hamilton. But even when the group does start meeting, Hamilton said she isn’t convinced it will do any good.

“You think you will be taken seriously, but in reality a committee is meant to deflect us and preoccupy us,” she said.

Several Blanchfield Road residents are in the process of drafting an official letter to the councillor to ensure their concerns are clearly identified and recorded.

Without trails, ATV drivers are confined to private properties. The two-year pilot project in Osgoode is the city’s first foray into allowing ATVs on public roads and road allowances and could set the stage for future trail networks in other areas of the city.

The Best In retirement Living!

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Salvador Caceres takes a break from construction work inside what will be his living room. His family is expecting to move into their new Orléans home in late September.

Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - With every nail that goes into the wall, Salvador Caceres’ dream is a little closer to reality.

The father of four spent last week working on his new home, a Habitat for Humanity build off Portobello Boulevard.

“Up until now, I see it, I’m here, I’m working – but you feel like it’s a dream,” he said.

Caceres and his wife and children – ages two, five, eight and 15 – will finally get to move into their new home at the end of September, after two years of anticipation.

Currently, the family lives in a rented home that doesn’t fit the family’s needs very well at all, located near Heron Gate Mall in Ottawa’s south end.

Amanda, eight, is severely disabled, and confined to a wheelchair.

To get her in and out of her bedroom or into the bathtub she needs to be

carried.

Because the family rents their current house, modifications – like a lift in the bedroom, walk-in shower or wider doorways – aren’t possible.

But in the new home, Amanda, who requires 24/7 care, will have a custom built main floor bedroom and bathroom, and easy access to the kitchen and living room in the bungalow.

Each of the four children will also get their own room – a real bonus for Caceres’ 15-year-old son, who currently shares a bedroom with his fiveyear-old brother, and the two-yearold, who sleeps in the same room as his parents.

It’s the third time that the family has applied for a Habitat for Humanity home, and Caceres could only smile and shake his head in disbelief, even almost two years later, that they were selected.

“It’s something I didn’t think could happen,” he said about owning a home.

Tower approved next to Dunbarton Court Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

SUBMITTED/BRIGIL

On July 16 developer Brigil got the city planning committee’s approval for this 13-storey residential building, which it plans to build as a an apartment building for seniors. Neighbouring residents who live in Dunbarton Court worry the tower will shadow their homes, among other issues.

News - A 13-storey apartment building for seniors is too tall to back onto singlefamily homes, even though there are 29-storey towers right next door.

A handful of residents from Dunbarton Court came to planning committee on July 16 to plead the case that a new residential tower on a vacant lot on St. Laurent Boulevard at the end of their street would shroud their homes in shadow and lead to traffic snarls and rainwater drainage issues.

Still, the planning committee approved the new building at 460 St. Laurent Blvd., which is to be marketed as a seniors’ apartment residence.

While the local community association president and board supported the new building, that put him at odds with some other residents of the neighbouring community, Cardinal Glen.

Harry McKay, the community association’s past president, said the new building would put 50 low-rise homes in the shadow of a tower.

City planner Bliss Edwards said a sun-shadow study indicated the new building would cast a shadow at 10 a.m. in June and September, but it wouldn’t shade the homes in Dunbarton Court.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Peter Clark not only represents the area – he is also a

neighbour. He said it’s clear some shadowing will occur, but he was unsure what the impact could be.

“Clearly, in the morning, it’s going to shadow Dunbarton Court. After noon, it’s not,” Clark said. “Then it becomes an issue of how much damage that will cause.

Frankly, I don’t know.”

McKay also challenged the assertion that taller towers adjacent to the plot to be developed “surround” the site.

He said the 13-storey building would be an anomaly in a lowrise area, rather than a fit with the taller buildings nearby.

Miguel Tremblay, a consultant from FoTenn who was representing the developer, Brigil, said a 13-storey building is a good compromise for the area because it’s not as tall as some nearby buildings, but it still increases the number of people living in the area, which is a goal in the city’s Official Plan.

“This area has some of the tallest residential buildings in the city,” Tremblay said. “We found a good compromise.”

Another resident, David Edwards, simply asked the city to respect its own zoning bylaws.

The rezoning more than doubles the height that was allowed under the old zoning, but Edwards pointed out that the tower is in line with the goals of the Official Plan – the master document the city refers to when determin-

ing what type of development is appropriate.

The community association president, Bob Publicover, initially wrote an editorial in a community newspaper opposing the development, but he has since changed his mind.

Publicover and the board of the Cardinal Glen Community Association support the new development.

He said he has been told the lot is unlikely to be developed with a commercial building because of its high land value.

“We do not believe it’s in the community’s interest to have a vacant lot or more subdivision-style buildings,” he told the planning committee.

Even though Publicover supported the rezoning, he said there are outstanding issues he hopes to work out with the developer during the site-plan process. Parking issues, snow removal, stormwater drainage and infrastructure capacity will need to be considered, he said.

“This is an important project,” Publicover said. “We just think it needs some important tweaking.”

Tremblay said the building will have more parking than the city requires in order to make it more attractive for seniors to reside in. Instead of the required 99 spaces, Brigil is proposing to include 147 spaces in a four-level parking garage below the building and 29 surface spaces for visitors.

Mayor dismisses poll, referendum on casino issue Watson calls it ‘an easy way to duck out of making tough decisions’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa’s mayor hasn’t yet asked the province if it would allow two gambling sites in Ottawa, but don’t expect him to undertake a poll or referendum in the meantime.

In an interview last week, Mayor Jim Watson again dismissed the idea of gauging public support for expanding gaming options in Ottawa.

On Aug. 26, city councillors are set to discuss whether to pursue two gambling zones for Ottawa – one that maintains the existing slots and approved gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, and another zone that would allow a new casino in another location in the city.

But some councillors, including Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, have expressed concern that decisions about expanding gaming options in Ottawa are being made in the absence of a true sense of the public’s opinion on the issue.

“This is confirmation of a predetermined outcome that we want more gaming in Ottawa,” Deans said

Mayor Jim Watson will be in touch with the provincial government and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to discuss whether Ottawa could protect gambling at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, seen here, while still adding a new casino elsewhere. after the July 17 council vote to continue the discussion at the finance and economic development committee. She noted the city should do more consultation on the matter

before coming to that conclusion.

That’s why she voted in favour of sending the matter to FEDco on Aug. 26.

That’s not the way the mayor

sees it.

Watson has been receiving a great deal of feedback in other ways, whether it’s through letters, social media or simply people stopping

A poll would only take a sample of a few hundred people, the mayor said, and he’s already heard from around a thousand people.

Alternately, a referendum would be “an easy way for politicians to duck out of making tough decisions themselves,” Watson said.

City council will ultimately have to make that decision, he said.

“I think it abdicates our responsibility as leaders … (if) every time a tough issue comes along we do a referendum,” Watson said.

If the province and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation aren’t willing to allow two gaming zones in Ottawa, Watson said the city will revert back to a plan to protect gaming at the raceway – an approach recently supported by the city’s finance and economic development committee.

The mayor said he is hoping to meet with or speak to officials from both the OLG and the province, but provincial officials will be more important.

“Ultimately, the province runs the OLG,” Watson said.

Still, the casino issue isn’t the most serious matter council has dealt with recently, Watson said.

“I don’t consider this a major issue like some of the ones we deal with, like light rail,” he said.

Claridge could demolish Union du Canada building laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - After agreeing to save and adapt the historic Union du Canada building for a new use, developer Claridge has now succeeded in getting the city’s permission to tear it down.

But that doesn’t mean the tower will be demolished, said Claridge president Neil Malhotra. His company asked for the demolition approval as one option for a settlement with area residents who appealed the city’s decision to rezone the property to add four floors to the existing 11storey building. It’s to be converted into a hotel as part of a redevelopment that includes neighbouring condos.

Demolishing the building would allow Claridge to deliver the same hotel project but with lower ceiling heights on each floor.

“We’ve got a situation where we’re trying to make offers to try and achieve a settlement. But in this case, it’s heritage, so it’s not as straightforward as just making a deal with a community group,” Malhotra said.

It would be more expensive for Claridge to demolish and rebuild the tower, Malhotra said.

“It’s not economics,” he said. “It’s just come out of trying to find ways to offer something to the community.”

“Demolition” probably isn’t the right term, anyways, Malhotra said, because the company would keep parts of the building and re-use them for a new structure, if the Ontario Municipal Board appeal results in a settlement to keep the building at its

existing height. The previous approvals already gave Claridge permission to remove almost all components of the building except for the concrete structure, Malhotra said.

Since the building is already out of place among the early 19th-century low-rise buildings that dominate the ByWard Market, it might as well become taller and more attractive, city heritage staff recommended in April – and both the heritage and planning committees unanimously agreed.

The local community association for Lowertown supported preserving the existing building, which along with its predecessor at 325 Dalhousie St. was the home of the local Francophone movement for almost 150 years. Adding floors to the structure would diminish its heritage value, the residents said.

“This organization, started as a mutual aid society, was involved in the Francophone community’s struggles to protect its linguistic and educational rights and to resist the assimilation of French-Canadians in Ontario,” wrote Lowertown Community Association president Marc Aubin wrote in a letter to the planning committee this spring.

Adding even more height to a 1960s building that already “sticks out like a sore thumb” doesn’t make sense, ByWard Market resident Louise Hout told planning committee members when the proposal was discussed in April.

A heritage assessment of the building that was included as part of the heritage conservation district for the area in the early 1990s rated the Union du Canada building as “completely out of context in terms

For those reasons, it has little to no heritage value, the report states.

Malhotra said he is hoping for a resolution soon so construction on the hotel can be completed in time

Nepean rockers shines on stage Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - Nepean Rocker Sabrina Fallah has been spending most of the summer on stage.

Fallah released her first EP, entitled Worthless, on iTunes in April 2012. It was recorded in England by producer Stuart Epps, who has worked with the likes of Elton John, Twisted Sister, Led Zeppelin and Oasis.

During that same period Fallah did some showcases for Universal Records and Warner Music Canada. Now she commits herself full time to her

craft, combing online searches and open mics in search of stage time.

The search seems to have paid off with a slew of gigs in Ottawa and Toronto, including a music festival in Brockville, Ont. “Doing open mics is a great way to connect with booking agents,” Fallah said, adding she ended up with a steady gig in Peterborough, Ont., as a result of an open mic night, which allows any performer to step out of the crowd and onto a stage.

In Ottawa, she regularly hits up the Brass Monkey on Greenbank Road for their open mic nights, as well as performing at

Sonny’s Bar and Grill on Baxter Road for the first time recently.

Her main influences include Bon Jovi and Green Day, lending an interesting ballad quality to her grittier punk tunes. She also cites Simply Plan, Kelly Clarkson and singer-songwriter Michelle Branch as influences.

Fallah, who accompanies herself on guitar, said she sings about love, life, joy and sorrow.

She will hit the stage at the Lunenburg Pub and Bar on Waller Street on Aug. 1. The show is diabetes fundraiser. Fallah said she enjoys doing fundraising shows and giving back to the community.

She will also be a regular at the Preston Farmers’ Market this summer, with her next show taking place there on Aug. 3.

While she likes performing in her hometown, Fallah is often on the road, and she’ll appear at the Music City North festival in Toronto from Aug. 22 to 25.

“I was happy to be one of the artists chosen to participate in this festival,” Fallah said.

Next on the horizon for Fallah includes touring the Ottawa Valley and the GTA while working on some new songs.

A new community art program focusing on encouraging creativity, regardless of talent, is about to start at All Saints Church in Sandy Hill.

Spirits can let loose with new art program Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - A new program starting up in Sandy Hill is welcoming any would-be artists, long-time artists and some creative people to come out and find some spirit.

The Spirit Art program will begin in mid-August at the All Saints Church in the downtown east neighbourhood and offers people the chance to focus on the process of creating art, rather than the product.

Long-time artist and teacher Louise Lalonde is running the program for the church and is focusing on making sure the program offers anyone who walks in the door a chance to be as creative as they need to be.

“Really this program is about finding the things, the joy and peacefulness that lies in everyday life,” Lalonde said. “It’s for people who really want to learn and discover, and share and play. The major difference about our art class is that it’s about process more than product. We are all creative; other than you, we

don’t require anyone else.”

The program has been made possible, Lalonde said, because the All Saints Church and Centretown United Church have partnered to fund the space and Lalonde’s salary.

The Dow’s Lake resident said this program is something that she has been envisioning to teach for quite some time and is overjoyed that the program will now be available for people in the city.

Lalonde and some of the other teachers are still working out some of the finer details for the program, but one thing is for sure: anyone is welcome.

“It’s open to everybody,” she said. “Our hope is that people from all different communities come out to this space to create.”

Eventually, the artist added, the program will expand to other creative outlets, including music, dance and theatrical plays.

Lalonde also mentioned the bigger picture, which includes ideas of expanding beyond Sandy Hill to other

neighbourhoods, setting up more open spaces for this type of creativity.

This program, Lalonde said, is part of the newly formed Arts Health Network Ottawa chapter, an organization which focuses on bringing arts and health together into mainstream life.

“This is all about making art a part of everyday life,” Lalonde said. “We relate learning sometimes too much with classrooms and specific goals and (because of that) it has a sense of seriousness and difficulty and challenge.

We want people to grow, be creative and be peaceful in a community setting. It’s an opportunity to learn in a different way.”

And those interested in participating in the new program, Lalonde added, only need to bring one thing to the church at the start of the program – the willingness and curiosity to learn and engage with art and the group.

To find out more information about the program, please contact Lalonde at coordinator@allsaintssandyhill.ca.

How to choose the right pet for you EMC news - What could be better than introducing a furry, fluffy, loyal pal to your life?

There’s no doubt that there are many benefits from owning a pet, but before you bring a dog or cat home, you want to make sure that your choice will fit in with you and your family. Here are a few tips for choosing the perfect pet: • Don’t make an impulse buy: Do your research and understand the type of care and commitment your potential pet will need.

Consider things such as whether the dog breed you want needs lots of exercise, otherwise it’ll create havoc in your home, or whether it’s a cat that needs less attention.

• Consider your lifestyle and how a pet will fit in: Do you have a demanding career that means you won’t have lots of time for dog walks and playing in the park? Or do you live in an apartment building or in close proximity to others

and therefore need a quite pet? Do you have a huge yard for a dog to play in?

Are there small children in the home that should be considered in your pet and breed choice?

• Consider your health: Does anyone in your family have allergies? If so, this will play a key role in your choice.

• Cost: Before you bring a new pet home, make sure you’ve done your research and understand the cost of ongoing care.

• Visit animal shelters to get an idea of the kind of dog or cat you’d like: Take your time and visit a few shelters to see what is available for adoption.

You’ll be able to see the animals up close and get a better idea of their size and look than you would from a photo online.

• Go with your gut: You’ll know whether it’s the right pet for you once you see it and spend time with it.

The New Edinburgh artist said the works took him about a year to compile and edit.

“I tend to like going back to things because then you kind of rediscover some of the images,” he said.

While selection took time, Dekkal said he doesn’t tend to make too many changes to the photographs, preferring to let the images speak for themselves. He said the exhibit as a whole is a visual sensation similar to a haiku.

News - A seldom seen slice of Tokyo is on view for art connoisseurs.

French photographer Frederic Dekkal opened his exhibit Tokyo Encounters at the Centrepointe Theatre Gallery on July 30.

Now based in Ottawa, Dekkal said he wanted show something other than the crowded, busy streets normally showcased by Western media.

Dekkal lived in Tokyo for two years about a decade ago and wanted to show the constant movement and people trying to connect in the Japanese city.

The collection boasts 25 images and is meant to be reminiscent of the Japanese aesthetic.

Some of the images are stark and evoke feelings of isolation. The style showcases Dekkal’s background as a photojournalist.

“It’s almost like a documentary,” Dekkal said. “There are people moving, but you don’t know who they are or where they are going.”

He said Tokyo is just a backdrop. The identities of the subjects are blurred.

“I focused on the general atmosphere in the streets, rather than landmarks or a specific situation,” he said, adding it’s about wandering, the search for bearings and urban solitude.

scene in Ottawa.

“It’s very active and welcoming,” he said.

The exhibit runs until Aug. 21. For more information on Dekkal’s work, visit www. fdekkalphoto.com.

News - A community nursery school in Kenya is now just a few thousand dollars away from completion thanks to a fundraising barbecue in Manotick.

Elimu, an Ottawa-based charity that supports education in rural Kenya, has spent the past two years building Upendo Nursery School for kids aged three to six. As donations come in, various additions are built onto the compound, which includes three classrooms and an office.

With only $4,000 to go before the school was finally finished, M&M Meat Shops at the corner of Bridge Street and River Road hosted Elimu’s latest money-raising effort with a catered barbecue on July 20.

Along with selling hot dogs and hamburgers, the event organizers raffled off an original rendering of Dickinson House made

by Barrhaven artist Conrad Stoltz, sold aprons made by Kenyan students enrolled in a sewing course, and set out a general donation box.

“All of those activities together brought us to the $1,800 mark,” said Elimu director Nina Chung, who said she was impressed with the success. “It’s the very first time we’ve run an event of this kind so I really wasn’t sure what to expect.

We were hoping for about $1,000.”

The money will allow workers in Kenya to begin plastering and painting the entire building.

The final $2,200 still outstanding will finish off those tasks and finance a gate to secure the compound.

Chung first met the Upendo Nursery School management team in 2010. A community nursery school had already been running since 2004, but it was held in a large mud hut with a leaky roof and crumbling walls. There was only one open room to accommodate three levels of kindergarten with three teachers and 80 kids.

Management asked Chung to help them put up a good building for their school. Today, they operate

with three full classrooms, private toilets and a fence around their compound.

The office is nearly finished.

About $20,000 has already been collected for the project, primarily through Global Childcare Services day cares in Ottawa. Elimu marketing volunteer Suzanne Stoltz’s children attend Canyon Walk School Age Program in Riverside South, which is run by Global Childcare. The connection fostered a meeting with Global’s executive director Arlene Ross.

In the two years that followed, the agency embraced a wide variety of fundraising activities. Each time another infusion of cash came through, another phase of the Kenyan school was completed.

“The project has been piece by piece,” Chung said.

Chung said the Manotick barbecue was a nice change because they were able to reach out to new faces who weren’t necessarily aware of Elimu and its goals.

Along with the usual supporters, soccer families, local residents and people driving through stopped to enjoy a quick lunch.

One roofer from a project down the street bought 13 hamburgers and half a dozen hot dogs for his team, and was delighted to discover that he was supporting a building project across the world.

“It was fun to tell him that the money they spent on these hot dogs and hamburgers is raising a roof in Kenya,” Chung said.

Elimu means “education” in Swahili. Along with the nursery school, the charity also supports a home for 14 children all related through one grandmother and sponsors seven young people to take a twoyear sewing course in Malindi.

Since Chung currently covers the charity’s administrative costs and all management, administration and PR professionals volunteer their time, all donation dollars are directed to the three projects.

! % 0 9 o Much-missed west end SaveUpT YMCA could rise again NEWS

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - One year after closing the doors at its Lockhart Avenue location, the YMCAYWCA of the National Capital Region is looking to re-establish a presence in the west end.

But, it will need the help of new and former clients to make it happen.

Last week, the organization revealed it was pursuing a leasing agreement for a large, basement-level space inside Carlingwood Mall -- larger than the previous location, which closed in June 2012 after 45 years of operation.

The closure was brought on by the deteriorating condition of the existing structure and came as a blow to the westend community and the many residents the YMCA-YWCA served.

“We didn’t ever want to vacate this community,” said Kelly Shaw-Swettenham, who is a senior director at the Taggart Family Y. “It was very difficult when we closed, because we knew it was more than just a gym for many people -- it was a home away from home.”

Shaw-Swettenham said that while the organization still offered some community programming using what space it could find, this is their first real opportunity to return the full range of services to their former clients. To seal the deal on the leasing agreement, the YMCA-YWCA must sell 2,000 membership units in the next 60 days to prove their financial viability to the mall owners.

“The mall has been very kind in allowing us to have this period of time in which

to proceed,” said Shaw-Swettenham, adding there will be a 15,000-home mail-out next week alerting area residents to their intentions.

An information booth will be set up inside Carlingwood Mall in order to provide awareness of their intent and to solicit memberships.

The 2,183-square metre space was formerly home to a private health club. While it is larger in floor area than the previous west-end YMCAYWCA, there would be some differences.

‘We would have to extensively renovate it to develop a Y

that fits our vision and priorities,” said Shaw-Swettenham.

“We’d be gaining some things we didn’t have before, such as two studios, but we’d be losing some pool size.”

At 15 metres in length, the pool is smaller than the 25metre pools at the previous Carlingwood YMCA-YWCA, meaning it can accommodate regular fitness and leisure programming, but not competitive swimming.

Should the YMCA-YWCA collect the necessary memberships ahead of Sept. 30, the new facility would be ready to open by Jan. 1, 2014.

“OZZI” NEEDS HELP This handsome pure white boy with these gorgeous blue eyes is UNHAPPY... He loves humans adores them but the cats he is sharing his space are a great distress to him... he wants to be alone in his own home and have all the attention he can get. He is young, neutered, vaccinated, health checked... he just needs some one only to LOVE HIM and not share. Please make an appointment to meet him and look into his eyes and say “come on... we are going home... you and me for ever”.

Think outside the soap box at this year’s derby Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Having a need for speed isn’t the only way to take home a trophy at this year’s soap box derby in Manotick.

Organizers have added several new awards categories to the third annual event on Sunday, Aug. 25 in recognition of all the hard work kids put into their carts.

This year, along with awards for the fastest carts, first-, second- and third-place trophies will be awarded to the most creative carts, based on the originality of the cart’s shape, materials and decoration.

One winner will also be selected for the best engineering design, a decision weighted with the young driver’s involvement in and knowledge of the building process.

Also new this year, the driver with the funniest cart can also take home a trophy, whether their cart goes the fastest or not.

“Ours is a fun derby, it’s not primarily for racing competition,” said organizer Al-

While soap box kits are available for purchase in hardware stores, Haan encouraged families to try their hand at making something unique.

“One of the important objectives of the derby is to encourage kids to put personal effort into building a cart,” Haan wrote in the awards document.

“Cart specifications exist for reasons of safety and handling, but significant latitude is permitted as to what a cart may look like. Therefore, we award trophies and prizes to encourage kids to get involved in making their carts unique and special.”

various local organizations including Watson’s Mill, Home Hardware, the Manotick Lions, the Manotick Kiwanis, Your Independent Grocer and Giant Tiger.

When building a cart, more than 20 specifications must be followed in order for the vehicle to pass inspection on the morning of the race, which begins registration at 8 a.m.

Most importantly, the cart must have four wheels, be gravity powered and operated by a driver facing forward and using their hands and feet.

Other specifications ban wooden wheels, limit width and length and mandate clearances, wheel size and steering mechanisms. No family should show up with an untested cart or driver.

The race will run between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Aug. 25, with each cart running four times.

It costs $25 to participate, and kids should be pre-registered by Aug. 15.

Registration and cart specification forms are available on the association’s website, www.manotickvca.org.

Aries, a challenge arises that requires you to have the utmost confidence in your abilities. Some self-confidence and hard work are all you need to successfully tackle this challenge.

Taurus, you can choose from among many paths, but this week you will have to carefully think about which way to go. Otherwise you may end up having to backtrack and start over.

Gemini, unless you change your line of thinking, you may have trouble in the romance department this week. You don’t have to be a smooth operator, but just sweeten your sentiments.

Cancer, sometimes you like being the center of attention, and other times you are content to blend into the background. This week you will have to embrace the spotlight.

Leo, after letting things slide for awhile, you will need to get a better handle on your finances this week. If you feel as though things have gotten out of control, then talk to a professional.

Issues at work may have you contemplating a career change, Virgo. But you may want to hold off on changes for a little while longer until things settle down.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

A quick visit with family can make you feel refreshed and renewed, Libra. There is nothing like spending time with the ones you love to improve your mood.

Scorpio, catch up on some overdue health screenings. There has never been a better time to get these things done, and you don’t want to put your health on the back burner.

Sagittarius, there is only so much persuading you can do before you must let others choose their own paths. A difficult conversation has you second-guessing something.

Do something for yourself this week, Capricorn. It’s a good time to treat yourself before you must devote more of your time to others in the near future.

Aquarius, something has been on your mind but you just can’t put your finger on it. Forget about it for awhile, and you just may come to a realization.

Few things that escape your notice this week, Pisces. Always detail-oriented, you need to figure out how to use the information.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
