Metcalfe Realty tree-cutting charges dropped Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A surprise tree cutting in northern Kanata in the spring of 2014 has resulted in no fines for the developer responsible after the city dropped the charges.

The expansion lands, located north of Old Carp Road, Windance and Celtic

Ridge crescents, were subject to the city’s urban tree cutting bylaw, which says trees cannot be injured or destroyed without a city permit.

Developer Metcalfe Realty, one of four involved in the urban boundary expansion, did not have a permit See CITY, page 7

Singing contest looking for next star Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

The first round of Ottawa Idol hopefuls have already visited Hazeldean Mall, but the second round of auditions in Kanata has the competition’s founder expecting many more talented singers.

This is the first year Ottawa Idol is holding its auditions at the Hazeldean Mall. Judges this year are singer-

songwriter Danielle Allard, Dennis Combe, host of Internet-based Blue North Radio, and vocalist Jenna Taggart.

The first round of auditions took place July 11 and 12, while many people were on summer vacation, said Ottawa Idol founder Eldon Fox. “The August ones (from Aug. 15 to 16) are always a lot better,” he said.

The judges are looking for wellrounded singers with stage presence, a professional attitude and singing ability as well, though he encouraged anyone who is interested to try out.

“It’s a stepping stone to get judged by some professional people that give good advice,” Fox said.

“We try to get (singers) to the next level all the time. Maybe they are not good enough at 13 years old to win it, but by the time they go a couple of years, with some advice and some coaching and whatnot, they are ready to go.”

City could not prove that trees were ‘trees’ Continued from page 1

when it hired a company to cut down a “significant amount” of mature trees, in late May of 2014, said a city memo.

The trees were cut several weeks before city staff was scheduled to visit the woodland to determine whether to make the area part of Ottawa’s natural heritage system.

In that case, the area would have been deemed unsuited for development and transferred to the city for $1, reads a city briefing.

The tree cutting also took place during migratory bird nesting season, which could result in prosecution as migratory birds are protected under federal law.

But, after two separate pre-trials, the city dropped its charges due to a lack of evidence, according to a city memo from city solicitor Rick O’Connor.

Though O’Connor refused to comment beyond what was written in the memo, the lack of evidence meant the city could not prove the trees that were cut were actually trees, said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

Under the city’s urban tree cutting bylaw, a tree is defined as being at least 10 centimetres in diameter at breast height. “(The trees) had been cut down to the bottom,” said Wilkinson, and no trunks left on the site. Though city staff measured some of the stumps that remained, the kind of trees there were known to split into multiple trunks, meaning the city had no evidence that any trees as defined by the bylaw were cut down.

“Am I happy about it? No,” said

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, whose ward currently includes the urban expansion lands north of the Kanata North ward.

“We were working with all the developers and the city and the community, trying to come up with some design for a community where people want to live and play and raise their family, and then we see this happening in the middle of the discussion,” El-Chantiry said.

“I think the smart thing would have been to continue the discussion, continue working with the community design plan, and then if it’s time to cut something, you know, you can cut it. But to do this behind the scenes, in the manner it was done, I don’t think it was something that I agree with,” he said.

In response to the lack of evidence, El-Chantiry said, “Honestly, what can you do?” adding that he would respect the determination of the legal system.

FILE

Metcalfe Realty does not have to pay any fines for cutting a “significant amount” of trees without a city permit on urban expansion lands last year, as the city has dropped its charges due to a lack of evidence.

STUPID

Wilkinson said the tree cutting “was a stupid thing for (Metcalfe) to do.”

“The optics of it were terrible … they didn’t need to,” she said, but added that she had no idea why Metcalfe chose to cut the trees at that time, especially since the area that was cut down was not in fact a section of the woodland that the city was considering saving.

Municipal and planning law lawyer Michael Polowin, representing Metcalfe Realty, said the company chose to cut the trees because there was no legal reason that it couldn’t.

“Charges should never have been

laid, and it was appropriate that they be dropped,” he said.

Metcalfe took “great pains” to make sure the arborist hired to oversee the cutting avoided trees of 10 centimetres in diameter or greater at breast height, said Polowin, and had evidence to that effect, which the company shared with the city.

“If you go out on the site today, what you will find is there are trees with diameters greater than 10 centimetres at breast height that remain standing. And you will also find that there are butternut trees and saplings (a protected species of tree) that remain standing … If the intention had been to clear-cut, why would those still be there?” he asked.

Though Polowin said he could not comment on the migratory bird

nesting period, he said there was no reason to wait for the city to perform its study before cutting the trees. “(The city) could have passed a temporary bylaw saying nobody can do anything until we’ve completed our study,” but it didn’t, he said. Further, Polowin said the city’s study “specifically said if the trees had still been standing, there would still be no natural heritage attribute to this property.”

To prevent a similar situation from occurring, Wilkinson said that city staff have taken stock of trees in urban areas that have yet to be developed so the city would have evidence in the event trees are cut down without a permit.

El-Chantiry and Wilkinson said they are also working on beefing up

the urban tree cutting bylaw to include trees within a kilometre of urban lands.

As for the situation with Metcalfe, Wilkinson said the company could still be charged under federal law pertaining to the migratory bird nesting season, but added, “the feds aren’t doing anything about that as far as I know.”

Environment Canada responded to a request for comment in an email, saying the department’s “enforcement branch dispatched a wildlife officer to carry out a thorough inspection.”

“After inspecting the site, the attending officer was unable to document any evidence of an infraction against the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994. No further action was taken.”

Stretch the light rail plans

T

he province needs to step up and commit to funding Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future light-rail system the same way Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park is backing transit in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton.

In the next two years, the City of Ottawa will tender for Phase 2 of rail.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the phase thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned to reach some of the suburbs: Bayshore, Place dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans, Baseline and Riverside South.Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news. But if construction stops at those points, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear when or if tracks will one day extend to the airport and the eastern edge of the city, at Trim Road.

If Phase 2 includes rail from Bayshore to Trim and a link to the airport, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a system that serves the majority of potential riders. It will be possible for thousands of people to ditch their cars, and thousands more households will likely be able to live with just one car instead of two.

There is still time to add Trim Road and the airport spur to the Phase 2 plans. It will obviously cost less if those sections of track are part of the Phase 2 tender, instead of a separate project priced out in future dollars.Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park should act.

The province has committed to fund rail projects in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton, even though those cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans are not as well formed as those here in Ottawa. Those provincial dollars are also earmarked without any matching federal or municipal commitments. If the Wynne government can afford that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeking ways to spend infrastructure money across Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa deserves a more complete light rail network.

The benefits of investing in this cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light rail are clear. Giant infrastructure projects help the economy of the communities where they are based during construction, as well as afterwards, as people move more quickly to where they need to be. Every dollar spent on commuter rail will reduce the need for more and wider roads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of them provincially managed. Dollars spent on rail take drivers off existing roads, meaning thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a benefit even for those people who will never choose to use public transit.

The province, the city and the federal government have each committed $1 billion to Phase 2 light rail. For the investment to really pay off, we need the province to stretch its dollars and stretch the rail system.

Paddling away anxiety

E

arly in July, Canadian veteran Trevor Petersen arrived in Ottawa to much fanfare after journeying for more than two weeks from Toronto to Ottawa on a stand-up paddleboard.

Petersen, who returned to Canada seven years ago with posttraumatic stress disorder following his service in Afghanistan, learned to paddle as a form of therapy.

The 43-year-old is now a certified paddleboard instructor and has spent the past few years paddling across various regions in Canada to raise awareness and money for PTSD and the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Why paddling? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paddleboarding was a very influential part of my healing

Petersen told the Ottawa Citizen in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in therapy, you talk about living in the moment, and I actually had to be in the moment in order to stay on top of the paddleboard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Petersenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expeditions and his insight could do a lot to influence how we treat some of the most common mental health disorders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including anxiety and depression, which are closely linked.

fered from minor anxiety. The usual things such as deadlines, financial worries, health concerns and children would sometimes accumulate and put me in an anxious state. To me, it was circumstantial and normal.

About 18 months after my third child was born, my anxiety started to become overwhelming.

I walked around most days feeling like someone was choking me.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wake in the night, fearing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d missed some detail, checking the fridge and Facebook for answers.

I ignored all the warning signs and I continued to push through with my business, organizing the family, worrying about friends with cancer.

And then I had a panic attack.

Having never experienced one before, I presumed it was a stroke and asked a friend to call an ambulance.

Although an isolated experience, it scared me enough that I was

determined to get my underlying anxiety in check. I started opening up to friends and family and quickly realized the majority of people I spoke to are on anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication.

Medication, combined with therapy, can be a valid means of treatment. For personal reasons, I was determined to find an alternative to drugs.

But â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Petersen suggested â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the biggest culprit is failing to live in the moment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that anxiety experts encourage people in the midst of a panic attack to focus on things they can touch, feel and see. Meditation is often recommended as therapy.

I always joke that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meditate to relieve anxiety because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too anxious. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where paddling comes in.

Long before I heard of Peterson, I bought myself a kayak. I find the combination of what the Japanese

call â&#x20AC;&#x153;forest bathing,â&#x20AC;? which is essentially connecting with nature, the rhythmic motion of the paddling and the sound of water puts me into a state of meditation that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forced.

This rendering shows Minto Communities’ Killarney model home – one of five homes the builder is working to upgrade to a new energy efficient standard in a cross-Canada project aimed at assessing homebuyers’ interest and identifying best practices.

Kanata builder testing market with net zero energy homes Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Five home builders across four provinces are ready to test homebuyers’ appetites for a new standard of energy efficient homes: ones that can produce as much energy as they consume.

One of the builders – Minto Communities – has begun building the first of five homes it has planned for its Arcadia Community in Kanata off Huntmar Drive north of Hwy. 417.

The homes are among 25 planned in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and Nova Scotia to reach the federal government’s new Net Zero Energy Housing certification which, through testing, evaluates whether a home can produce as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year. Construction is part of a government-funded project announced in 2013.

The project, spearheaded

by Owens Corning Canada, a roofing and insulation company, will use off-the-shelf energy conservation and creation technologies like enhanced insulation, heat recovery

techniques and solar panels to upgrade houses the builders were already going to build, said Candice Luck, spokeswoman for the project.

Owens Corning specifically chose production homebuilders for the project like Minto, rather than custom homebuilders, as a way to test whether the average homebuyer would see the advantages in paying more for a net zero home.

NOT JUST CUSTOM

“There are lots of fancy, new net zero homes or equilibrium homes that are oneoffs and custom pilots,” said Luck. “We wanted to show that this is possible, not on a custom home basis.”

Companies which already have experience in delivering energy efficient homes, like Minto, were chosen for the project, which Minto vicepresident of sustainability, Alison Minato, said is actually a bit of a risk.

“We’ve been building LEED and Energy Star and EnerGuide rated homes for years, but we typically offer those at a price competitive to

a non-LEED or Energy Star home to help differentiate us in the market,” said Minato.

“We haven’t seen the willingness to pay a material sum more for those higher performing homes, but a net zero home is a bit bigger leap and a bigger step,” she said. “I am confident that our customers do see value in it.”

GOVERNMENT FUNDING

The project has a budget of $4.2 million, with roughly $2 million of that coming from the federal government. The government contribution is intended to help builders identify technologies and learn how to implement them. That information will then be communicated to builders across Canada, in hopes of sharing techniques for reaching the new standard in an affordable way, said Luck.

The rest of the $4.2 million is contributed by the builders and various other companies who are part of the project to perform the upgrades to reach the net zero standard, she said.

The houses themselves are regular types built by each builder, who will foot the cost for them. The price to upgrade the homes is estimated at about 10 per cent of the cost of the home in Ontario, though that changes depending on the housing market in different areas of Canada, presenting another challenge for builders.

Minto is currently building its Killarney model single family home, which costs about $452,900, said Minato, meaning after upgrades, the home should cost about $500,000.

The four other homes Minto is planning to build are townhomes, which will have a lower price, though Minato would not give an estimate of the cost.

Due to the government contribution, the builders are not allowed to make a profit on

A nearly finished home in Guelph, Ont., by builder Reid’s Heritage Homes shows mnay solar panelized used to help attain a new certification of home energy efficiency. the cost of the upgrades necessary to hit the Net Zero Energy Housing certification, said Luck, meaning the upgrades cost the buyer what the builder

spent to implement them.

The Killarney home is expected to be finished in September, though it will remain a model home for a while before

it is sold, while the townhomes are expected to be this fall and completed in early spring depending on the weather and other factors, said Minato.

They will be available for immediate purchase.

But whether the homes will be able to hit the Net Zero Energy Housing certification is not guaranteed, she said.

“That is part of the plan but it’s quite a mathematical exercise,” she said. “There is only so much roof space for solar panels and there is only so much you can do with your mechanical and so much you can do with your insulation, and right now we are modelling that we will be able to hit that net zero energy target, but the proof is going to come in the pudding.

“We are doing all the building performance testing to make sure that we can, and so far so good.”

More than 100,000 people expected this year Continued from page 12

“It’s more just to give people something pleasant to enjoy while they’re at the fair,” event spokesman Harley Bloom said of this year’s fair lineup. “We decided not to go with the big concerts primarily (because) we’re not there yet, but we’re moving toward it.

“We’re sort of on a five-year plan to make this the biggest fair in the area.”

It is all part of a new vision for the fair, which was known for decades as the Gloucester Fair and rebranded last year as the Capital Fair. It was also moved from May to August and expanded to 10 days instead of the four days the fair has previously been staged.

This year’s event again takes place at the Rideau-Carleton Entertainment Centre and Raceway, from Aug. 21 to 30.

Securing star power comes with a price.

“We’re not prepared to take the financial burden on at this point,” said Bloom.

For that reason, the fair’s board of directors is working with the province to secure funding to try

and attract some of that star power in the future.

“Hundreds of thousands of dollars go into bringing in a decent act, and of course because we’re an outside venue it’s weather dependent, which makes it difficult for us,” Bloom said.

Currently, organizers are focused on “building a solid family show” and are once again offering free admission to the grounds and free entertainment in the children’s area, he said.

An agricultural component has been added, complete with 4-H cattle and horse shows. The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum will also be giving demonstrations, including a lesson on churning butter.

“We had 4-H 20 years ago so we’re actually really excited to have the kids coming back again,’ Bloom said. “The 4H component is the beginning of the agriculture program for us.”

Also new this year, monster File truck shows will entertain on three Fair-goers enjoy a ride at a previous Capital Fair. This year’s fair runs days instead of two, and a demo- from Aug. 21 to 30. lition derby has been added to the “We want to make it as kid-friendly as well.” lineup on Aug. 27.

Another new feature is a three“We’re embracing the fact that as possible and then offer as much we’re a family show,” Bloom said. as we can to the adult population day seniors’ bridge tournament from

Aug. 25 to 27, which will cost $5 to enter and will include door prizes, a $200 daily prize board, free refreshments, guest speakers and a presentation by the Jamie Oliver Food Revolution.

“We’ve been looking for a way to invite the seniors to the fair, and this turns out to be one of probably the most popular activities that seniors have in the area that we could produce,” Bloom said. “We’ve got to try and provide something for everybody – that’s our goal.”

The midway will also be growing in size, making it the largest in eastern Ontario.

“This year it’s going to be even bigger – more rides, better rides, bigger rides,” said Bloom.

Half-price midway bracelets are available in advance of the fair for $18 at Quickie convenience stores.

The bracelets will be sold for $36 at the door.

Onsite parking at the fair will be available, but a $2 shuttle bus will be running between the South Keys Transitway and the fair, Friday to Sunday.

For a complete schedule of events go to capitalfair.ca. The raceway is located at 4837 Albion Rd.

Quite a bit of ceremony involved in the day of thrashing

R

egardless what it said in the dictionary, everyone at Northcote called it “thrashing.”

Threshing was a foreign word to the farmers who gathered at the homesteads this time of year to separate the grain from the chaff.

To us five kids, the day was almost as good as going off to the Renfrew Fair. We didn’t go to school that day. Every hand was needed on the farm.

Chores would have to be done before the sun was up on thrashing day, and certainly breakfast over with and the kitchen made ready for 15 or 20 men Mother would be feeding at dinner.

Neighbours came when their own chores were out of the way, and they would gather in the barn yard, leaning on their wagons, smoking their pipes and passing the time until Mr. Briscoe with his team of horses pulling the big thrashing machine came through the gate.

And then it was time.

Teams of horses would bring in the sheaves from the fields, feed them into the big machine, once

MARY COOK Memories bright red but now faded from the elements. The noise was deafening as the thrasher chugged away under the blistering hot sun. My three brothers worked right alongside the men, and when I wasn’t pressed into service in the kitchen, I pulled a chair up to the window, looking out into the barn yard, watching all our neighbours working as one.

My sister Audrey had the job of keeping the granite pail of water filled to the brim, with shards of ice from the ice house floating on top. One tin cup would serve all who wanted to stop for a cold drink of water.

In the house, the kitchen would be beastly hot. All night the big haunch of beef would be cooking in the oven.

The day before thrashing, Aunty who came each year to help, would

have turned out eight to 10 pies, and they would be on the bake table, already cut in four.

All morning the kitchen buzzed with dinner preparations. The old pine table wouldn’t hold all the men, so three planks stretched across chair backs. The planks were covered with a thick quilt, and then sparkling white flour bag sheets, all to take care of the overflow.

Every last plate, cup and saucer, and every piece of cutlery was spread out on the two tables, and it was my job to go outside and into the dark hole under the house which served as a cellar and was the bane of my existence, and bring up at least four different kinds of pickles from the swinging shelves.

There was little formality back then. The full jars were put two to a table, with a big serving spoon at each.

By the time the CPR clock struck noon, the thrashing machine was closing down. Mother had put two wash basins at the back door, with a new bar of Ivory soap. Each man splashed water on his face, gave it a rub with the huck towel,

butter sat at either end of the two tables, with Mother and Audrey at the ready to refill the bowls.

No one bothered with clean plates when it came time to dole out the pie. The dinner plates looked like they had been washed in soap and water, wiped clean with thick slices of bread. There was no loitering after the meal. Mr. Briscoe was the first to push his chair back from the table, and I could hear the thrashing machine roar into action, and the work began again.

My three brothers and Father had barely enough energy to do the chores afterwards. But the bags upon bags of grain stacked inside the barn, would once again show what it meant to live in a tight community where farmers depended on each other. That, simply, was the way things were done back then.

There were creamed potatoes, carrots, turnips, cabbage salad, jugs of gravy, and of course, platters of hot beef and cold sliced roasted pork. Two plates of fresh bread and

Beloved Lego collection finds homes two hours after sale begins hospital rooms growing up, with medical stays often lasting for weeks.

After he died unexpectedly, but peacefully, at home and in his sleep on Jan. 7, Valcour’s close friend Valerie Kekanovich discussed donating his collection to CHEO with his fam-

Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

A one-day sale of Lego has raised $5,303 for CHEO, as well as the spirits of Mark Valcour’s family and friends.

Before his sudden death in January at 60, the Nepean man had big plans for his 68kilogram collection of Lego.

Valcour – a long-time radio broadcasting instructor at Carleton University – was an avid Lego engineer.

At the time of his death he had begun work on a massive Lego space-themed city he’d designed from scratch.

His plan was to donate the completed city to CHEO. As a child born with a muscular congenital disorder, he became well acquainted with

ily. She decided not to finish construction on the space city.

“There’s no way we would have ever been able to bring justice to his vision,” Kekanovich said.

Instead, she planned to disassemble it and donate the components. But before she could do that, she learned that CHEO could not accept the

Lego, due to safety and sanitary reasons. She knew she wanted to do something positive with the Lego, but didn’t know what.

That’s when Karen Fraser entered the equation.

Fraser and Kekanovich are co-workers. Fraser’s husband Darren Gauthier happens to construct Lego sets as a hobby. When Fraser learned that Kekanovich was looking for help finding a worthy use for Valcour’s Lego, she offered to lend a hand. In early July, the entire collection was delivered to Fraser and Gauthier’s home in 25 tubs.

Included in the collection were 325 minifigures, and 27 Lego sets spanning from 1985 to 2015. The components of those sets were scattered throughout the collection.

Valcour, a scratch builder, preferred to ignore the instruction manuals that came with each set and use the components he needed to build his original creations.

Continued from page 20

According to Kekanovich, he had mastered the art of thinking outside of the box.

“He was never one to follow guidelines or instructions just because they were there,” she said.

“He’d do it sometimes because it’s the right thing to do, but he knew there are other things that you can do if you think of them and if you try.”

That was the attitude that got him through numerous extended hospital stays as a child in an era before handheld electronic devices, and it was with that sentiment that he wanted to give CHEO’s patients something to occupy their time, and their minds.

“No one could ever tell Mark he couldn’t do something,” she said.

“Well, you could tell him, but you’d be wrong.”

So beginning in early July, Fraser, her husband, friends, family and volunteers from the neighbourhood spent the three weeks sorting through the massive collection. They sorted the pieces for each set – which Gauthier then built – in preparation for a oneday Lego sale at the couple’s home on July 25.

Although the Lego itself could not

go to CHEO, their hope is that CHEO will use the proceeds of the sale for something to benefit its young charges.

“We did what we thought was second best, which was to sell it in a fundraiser for CHEO,” Fraser said. “Maybe they’ll buy some toys or Lego, or maybe they can buy a piece of equipment that can benefit many, many children.

So hopefully it’s a win-win.”

QUICK SALE

The day came, with completed Lego sets on display in Fraser and Gauthier’s garage, 125 bags of assorted Lego pieces weighed and raffle prizes donated by Mrs. Tiggy Winkles, Mastermind Toys Barrhaven and Playvalue Toys present and accounted for.

The sale was advertised to begin at 9 a.m.

Around 7 a.m. the first prospective shopper, a young girl on a bicycle, stopped by the garage to scope out the goods. By 8:15 a.m. a crowd of people had formed in the driveway of the home. Two hours later, Karen said, the collection was almost entirely gone, with $5,303 raised for CHEO. “By 10:15 there was virtually nothing left,” Fraser said. “We had 325

minifigures and there are none left. At one point you couldn’t get in our garage or in our driveway. The cars were parked up and down the street both ways. Everyone was respectful, everyone was kind.”

Although Kekanovich, Fraser and Gauthier could not fulfill Valcour’s original plan for his Lego collection, Fraser, who never met Valcour before his death, thinks he would be pleased with the outcome anyway.

“It’s almost circular that he was in hospital, and he got into the Lego later on in life and wanted it to go to some-

The cars were parked up and down the street both ways.

thing like CHEO, and then we were able to sell it for the fundraiser,” she said.

“I hope he’s pleased that we raised an awful lot of money for CHEO. I hope he’s pleased that all of these people are now playing with and enjoying and building and being creative with his Lego.”

CLR625330-0806

Florence Catherine Boyle (Owens) passed away peacefully on July 24, 2015 at the West End Villa, Ottawa, Ontario at the age of 91.

She was the daughter of the late Florence Mary Owens (Halpin) and Frank C. Owens.

Catherine was a resident of Saint John until 2008 when she moved to her daughter’s home in Pakenham, ON. Friendly, outgoing, generous and strong-willed, Catherine was a devout Catholic; a graduate of St. Vincent’s Girls’ High School and Modern Business College.

Her first jobs were at the City of Saint John in the Taxation Dep’t. and secretary to the Chief of Police. Catherine was very well celebrated by the auditors at Revenue Canada when she retired after 13 years of service, and was fondly nicknamed ‘Boomer’.

An avid bridge player, long serving church choir member and soloist, ardent supporter for the Liberal Party, and volunteer for many charities, especially those supporting children, Catherine always found time to help her coworkers, friends and neighbours. She kept very busy with cooking, baking, knitting, sewing, embroidery, needlepoint and social events. Her focus, however, was always on her 7 children and 11 grandchildren (Allan, Stephanie, Danielle, Jennifer, Shawn, Matthew, Michael, Christopher, Sara, Aaron and Max) whom she carefully nurtured and loved unconditionally.

Catherine put her talents to work in all aspects of her life by: volunteering to coordinate the United Way campaign at the Income Tax; by being a member of the executive of Westvale Park housing association and by whipping up a birthday cake if she heard it was someone’s birthday.

Swimming was a favourite pastime – in the ocean, in SJ Aquatic Centre, in the Kennebecasis and pools. She won medals at the Senior Olympics. Singing was important to Catherine her whole life, especially in church and at parties. She sang and danced in the Knights of Columbus operettas during the war.

Catherine loved to travel using the airline passes from her son, David. She flew across Canada regularly to visit her family and she also traveled to Mexico and Japan. She enjoyed Caribbean cruises with her sister, Frances and winter days with her sister, Betty in Arizona and Florida. Catherine loved to socialize with her cherished friends at Chapel Grove in the summer and go on shopping trips to New York.

She is survived by her children Shawn Hayes, Pakenham, ON; David (Alison) Sonora, Mexico; Tom, Victoria, BC; Cathy MacLaren (Sean) Calgary, AB; Paul (Lynne), Quispamsis, NB; and Greg, Victoria, BC; sister, Elizabeth Owens, Fredericton, NB and brother, James F. Owens, Saint John, NB,11 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Catherine was predeceased by her son, Patrick; sisters Frances Flood, Kennebecasis Park and Patricia Coughlan, Edmonton; brothers William, Edward and George; sisters-in-law Margaret Owens, Jacqueline Owens, Joan Owens and Jean Owens; brothers-in-law George F. Flood and Hon John C. Coughlan. All are welcome to the Memorial Mass to be held at St. Peter’s Church, Clarendon St., Saint John, New Brunswick on Saturday, September 5th, 2015 at 11:00AM followed by a reception.

Donations to charities of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.

Flower show promises blooming good time Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Horticulture enthusiasts who dream of seeing orchids, African violets, zinnias, bachelor buttons, Victorian mussie-tussies and cacti all in one place need go no further than City View United Church on Aug. 15.

There, the Nepean Horticultural Society will partner with the Ottawa Valley Rock Garden and Horticultural Society to host the Ontario Horticultural Association’s District 2 annual Flower and Edible Show.

Members of the district’s 19 societies will gather at the event to display their best perennials, annuals and edibles in 100 judging categories.

Each year a different society within the district – which stretches across the Ottawa, Mississippi and Rideau River valleys, from Gloucester in the east to Madawaska in the west – hosts the event and assigns it a theme. For their turn, the Nepean societies have collaborated on this year’s theme: Rock and River.

“This year because we’re aligned with the Ottawa Valley Rock Garden Society, we decided to go with the theme that ties together our ar-

eas of interest with our surroundings,” show chair Susan Taylor said, explaining that rivers are a defining feature of Nepean, which is bordered

by Ottawa River to the north and the Rideau River to the south.

To honour this theme, organizers have created special rock garden design categories for the show with names like Dry River Bed in August, On the Banks of Nepean Creek and Westboro 1869.

Nepean Horticultural Society president Elaine Petermann said that within her society, a handful of members can create multiple entries in one show.

“We have some highly competitive members, so we have a strong background in hosting our own flower shows,” Petermann said. “Last year our six members who competed – with about 58 entries – took three of the top four prizes in the district show.”

Aside from showcasing the best a district has to offer in horticulture, Petermann said the annual flower show – which has taken place for at least 40 years – has an important teaching component.

“Every district show is supposed to have an educational component

as well. So one of the educational components will be a photo display put on by the Rock Garden Society,” she said. “And then there’s a certain amount of labelling in each show.”

Even experienced horticulturalists can learn from visiting gardens in different areas of their district, Peterman added. She hopes that while they’re in Ottawa for the show, visitors from other societies will make time to visit Algonquin College’s display garden, the Central Experimental Farm’s display gardens, the Dominion Arboretum and Fletcher Wildlife Garden.

While these gardens are not officially maintained by the Nepean Horticultural Association, its members help maintain many of them on a volunteer basis.

“Typically horticultural societies arrange visits to see what other gardeners do. So it’s about what more you can learn about different plants,” she said.

“We’re hoping to draw some people at least from the closest societies. So if anyone comes in from Almonte, Packingham, Perth or Smiths Falls, which certainly we’d hope for, we’re treating this as an opportunity to showcase our little bit of the city.”

Last year’s Ottawa Riverkeeper 4 km Interprovincial Swim attracted 36 swimmers despite the inherent challenge, unseasonably cold August weather and choppy waves.

With that successful pilot event behind them and this year’s temperatures sailing above last year’s, organizers have raised their expectations of the swim

for its second year.

Because they were running the fundraising event for the first time, organizers of last year’s swim capped registration at 50 swimmers, and the event raised $5,000 that Ottawa Riverkeeper used to purchase 10 new water quality test kits.

This year, up to 100 swimmers can compete, and the swim’s organizers have added a team component: the team with the most members wins. And it’s all for the sake of the river.

Ottawa Riverkeeper strives to protect and promote the health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries through regular monitoring of water quality, public outreach and education. Its manager of partnerships and donor relations, Ruth McKlusky, said the event is about raising awareness of the health of the river and its tributaries as well as raising funds.

Four kilometre race challenges best Continued from page 28

The interprovincial swim will take participants from the starting point at Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer, across the Ottawa River to Lac Deschenes Sailing Club in Ottawa on Aug. 15.

It’s a difficult swim that McKlusky said could leave even experienced swimmers feeling challenged.

“It’s a more challenging swim. You lose sight of the shore, and some people get a little nervous about that,” McKlusky said.

“So it’s a bit of a challenge, it’s a bit of a chop if it’s a windy day (and) there’s a cur-

rent.”

For that reason, McKlusky said, swimmers will have the support of a team of stand-up paddle boarders, kayakers and canoeists.

Those volunteers will spread out over the race course, ready to assist swimmers in need.

“Their job is to paddle along beside (swimmers). They offer words of encouragement,” she said, adding that support volunteers will also help guide any swimmer who becomes disoriented and strays from their course toward the shore.

“And if someone’s in distress the canoeist raises their paddle and then a rescue boat comes in and pulls them out of the

water.”

The race has a two hour limit and it took most swimmers in the 2014 event about 80 minutes to complete it.

Lesley Dusevic crossed the river in 58 minutes, becoming the first person ever to complete the race.

She’ll return to the race this year, not to defend her title, but for the same reason that she entered last year.

“I just want to have some fun and enjoy a great swim,” Dusevic said. “I think it’s fabulous to advertise the fact that Ottawa Riverkeeper exists. To just to raise awareness and help support the organization, that’s my biggest concern.”

Riverview Park resident co-authors lupus guide for young people Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Life with lupus can be fabulous.

Just ask Jodie Nimigon-Young, who was diagnosed with the chronic illness at 13, and Jessica Kundapur, who was diagnosed at 26.

Hoping to inspire teens and young adults by sharing their own personal experiences and give young people information to help them live a fabulous life, the pair have co-authored Fabulupus: How to be young, successful and fabulous (with lupus).

The resource guide is the first book of its kind written for young

people, said Nimigon-Young.

“I wish there was something like this sooner,” said the Riverview Park resident, mother of two and social worker at the Ottawa Hospital. “It would have given me reassurance that everything was going to be OK and someone had been through this before.

“That’s kind of the key piece too is that we’re not just adults that have lupus. We’ve gone through all those awkward stages of life with lupus.”

It can be a difficult illness to explain to others. Though commonly characterized by chronic fatigue and arthritis, the chronic illness can af-

fect people differently.

“They call it a disease of a thousand faces, which means no two people have exactly the same symptoms,” said Nimigon-Young, who suffers a range of symptoms when her lupus flares up, including exhaustion, breathing difficulties, nose and mouth sores as well as hair loss.

Nine in 10 people diagnosed are women.

“They still don’t know the cause.

They still don’t have a cure. It’s all about management,” said NimigonYoung, who takes medication and is careful not to overtax herself.

Her symptoms began when she

was five years old. Though tested for lupus at age eight, it wasn’t until she was 13 that her arthritis, fatigue, chronic back pain, sporadic rashes and nose and mouth sores were diagnosed.

While Nimigon-Young said her flares are mild, others may suffer flares that lead to brain or kidney damage. There is much uncertainty about when a flare will strike or how serious it will be.

“I have to live my life and I have to plan my life – as much as I feel great and I haven’t had a flare in over 10 years – as if I may have one at any moment, but at the same time enjoy

my life.

“You have to prepare for the future without living with a dark cloud over your head,” Nimigon-Young.

As a teen and young adult, she was involved with Lupus Canada and Lupus Ontario, serving as the youth contact for young people and their parents across the country. She even started her own support group in her hometown of Toronto.

“It was often parents contacting me, not just teenagers calling and asking for help,” Nimigon-Young said.

Book was eight years in the making

Riverview Park resident Jodie Nimigon-Young and her co-author, Jessica Kundapur, will be signing their first book, ‘Fabulupus’ at Perfect Books in Ottawa on Aug. 1.

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Continued from page 3-

It was through her volunteer work that she connected with Kundapur, a private consultant specializing in ethics around clinical trials. The pair began working on their book eight years ago and released it in January.

“Every chapter has examples from our own lives on how we navigated complicated situations while living with lupus,” Nimigon-Young said.

Chapters explore topics on relationships, school, selfesteem, staying active and employment.

The co-authors are considering writing a book for adults.

Do I need a Power of Attorney for someone to manage my assets if I am unable?

In most cases, people should have a Power of Attorney as part of their estate plan. A Power of Attorney for Property allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf with regards to your assets in the event that you are unable. There are two kinds: Continuing and Non-Continuing.

(or persons) of your choosing will be able to act on your behalf and make decisions regarding your affairs in your best interests.

This may involve small matters such as the paying of monthly utility bills or large matters, such as selling your home should it no longer meet your needs.

A Non-Continuing Power of Attorney allows your attorney, who you have appointed, to manage your assets but it ceases to have effect in the event that you become mentally incapacitated and unable to manage your own affairs. These are generally used for specific purposes where an individual will be unavailable for a relatively short period of time. For instance, someone embarking on an extended holiday may appoint someone as their attorney to deal with banking and investing while they are away.

If you do not have a Power of Attorney, your family members will be subject to considerable delay and expense in getting someone appointed to act on your behalf; the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee will be involved. Ultimately the person appointed may not be the person you would have chosen.

For most people, a Continuing Power of Attorney is appropriate for their estate plan. This allows someone to manage your assets and their power continues in the event of incapacity. A person

Kanata Muslims begin fundraising to build mosque $190,000 raised, project launch expected in fall

to the need for a permanent place of its own, said Hashmi. Having a local mosque would not just be a place for Muslims to gather, but a place for the broader community to learn about Islam and their Muslim neighbours.

GROWTH

Kanata’s growing Muslim community has started fundraising to build itself a local home.

The community, which began with about 45 people a decade or so ago has grown to several thousand, said Kanata imam Sikander Hashmi, meaning the community is outgrowing its temporary home in six rental facilities across Kanata.

But the Muslim community’s growth is just one factor leading

With Kanata being such a fast growing community, the Muslim community is growing along with it, said Hashmi.

In the past year alone the attendance at Friday prayer services has grown by about 100 people, with more than 600 attending the weekly service, held at rental spaces in the Mlacak Centre or the Richcraft Recreation Complex, he said.

34 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 6, 2015

With employers like Ciena, Sanmina and the Department of National Defence setting up shop nearby, Hashmi said he expects the Muslim population to continue increasing.

The Kanata Muslim Association has spread its activities across six different rental facilities, including schools, and all facilities have been welcoming, said Hashmi.

“We are very fortunate that we do have a great broader community, and people have been very, very helpful,” he said.

But the need for a permanent home is great, as it would make holding community activities and events easier, and promote greater understanding between Muslims and the rest of Kanata, said Hashmi.

“You know what’s going on nowadays. Obviously there are a lot of misunderstandings, there is a lot of fear unfortunately, and it’s on both sides,” he said.

“The broader community might have misunderstand-

ings, but then within the (Muslim) community, people are also fearful of what people are thinking about them.

“I think it’s really important to have a place that’s just re-

the facilities and rent a room or hold an event or just use the green space, they should be welcome to do that,” said Hashmi.

With that goal in mind,

It’s not just for members of our community but people in the neighbourhood or anyone else who wants to come in and make use of the facilities and rent a room or hold an event or just use the green space, they should be welcome to do that.

ally welcoming and inclusive for everyone. It’s not just for members of our community but people in the neighbourhood or anyone else who wants to come in and make use of

Hashmi and the Kanata Muslim Association performed a survey of the Muslim community asking them if they would support the project, which came back with an overwhelm-

ing yes, said Hashmi.

Fundraising started during the month of Ramadan with a goal of raising $300,000.

Though about $190,000 was raised, Hashmi said the response was good nonetheless.

However, he estimates the project will require somewhere around $2 million.

“At this point, it’s very early on,” he said of the project.

The association has yet to come up with potential land options, though it would likely look for a site in north Kanata near Morgan’s Grant and Shirley’s Brook, said Hashmi.

Beyond that, exactly what the building would look like or when it could be open is up in the air, he said, though he stressed the need for communication with future neighbours of a mosque.

“We want to be very open to the community wherever this is going to be so people understand what we are doing there and understand what our vision is,” said Hashmi, adding donations will not be coming from overseas, but from local groups and people.

A 65-year-old man was sent to hospital in serious condition July 28 after sustaining injuries during a roofing operation at 1027 Teron Rd. The worker was reportedly hurt by a falling roof hoist while atop the one-storey commercial building in Beaverbrook, said Ontario Ministry of Labour spokesman William Lin. Paramedics and Ottawa police responded to the scene at about 10 a.m., but the Ministry of Labour took the lead on an investigation into the injury, said police.

An inspector and an engineer sent to the scene found National Roofing Inc. and its workers were disregarding several rules under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, resulting in six orders and one stop work order, said Lin. Some of the legally binding orders require the company to ensure all workers wear protective headwear when on a project, that roofing material on a roof’s edge be removed a safe distance from the edge and that a propane cylinder on the roof is secured in an upright posi-

Paramedics treated a 65-year-old roofer for traumatic head injuries after a hoist reportedly fell on the man during a roofing project at 1027 Teron Rd. A Ministry of Labour investigation has since found National Roofing Inc. and its workers were in violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. tion.

The stop work order requires the company to not use the roof hoist until it is properly maintained to the inspector’s satisfaction, with a further order requiring regular inspection of the hoist.

Door still open to include airport, Trim Road rail links in Stage 2 plans Erin McCracken and Brier Dodge erin.mccracken@metroland.com

While there is not enough money in the city’s $1-billion contribution to fund Stage 2 of the light-rail plan to complete a rail link to Trim Road and the Ottawa International Airport, there is still hope for these projects, said the city’s transit commission chair.

But these can only become reality if the city can successfully entice the provincial and federal governments to cough up more than $1 billion each for the second stage of the project.

“We’d be happy to talk with either the airport or our upper-level government partners on how that (airport) extension, as well as the one to Trim Road, can be paid for, but at the moment the city’s affordability mechanisms don’t allow us to be able to afford that extension,” said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais.

“What we’ve said all along is that the airport is not included in the $3billion budget, and the city is unable to chip in more than $1 billion for Stage 2 because that would translate into higher taxes and higher transit fares.”

The $155-million Trim Road extension and the $160-million airport link will both undergo an environmental assessment.

The federal government announced July 23 that it will be contributing $1 billion to help fund Stage 2 light rail. On the heels of that pledge, Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau sidestepped questions July 28 as to whether the federal government could come up with more than that.

“We established in the last budget approved by Parliament a fiscal framework that allows for $1 billion. And we trust that the City of Ottawa does its planning very well,” Galipeau said. “Phase one, as a matter of fact, is on time and under budget. So with phase two being a $3-billion project, there could be room that they could do more.”

When asked to elaborate, Galipeau said the city “might even save money in doing phase two.”

“But we’ve agreed to $1 billion for phase two. We already agreed to $770 million for phase one.”

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

See AIRPORT, page 42

Mark Laroche, president of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, says there is still potential to include an airport rail link in Stage 2 of the city’s LRT project.

The province hasn’t yet said how much it will chip in though Premier Kathleen Wynne made an election promise last year that her government would help fund the second stage of Ottawa’s LRT project, Blais said.

“We’ve had announcements, but there’s no agreements in place and there’s lots of time for the mayor and city manager to discuss with representatives from both the provincial and federal governments to maximize those contributions,” he said. “It could still very well be done as part of Stage 2. We just have to … have a secure funding source for it.”

There are another 12 to 18 months left to negotiate for more dollars.

“There’s still quite a bit of engineering on Stage 2 before we go to procure it, and we need to decide on a procurement model,” Blais said.

The president of the Ottawa International Airport Authority remains optimistic that the airport link is still on the table.

“I don’t see any disconnect right now. Funding is still available,” said Mark Laroche, adding that the cost of the link represents five per cent of the $3-billion project, which he said is “a very, very small gap.”

“I don’t feel that we’re excluded at all. When you’re going to be going into detailed projects you’re going to have detailed estimates and you’re going to see that the airport link will be included.

“We can’t afford to let it go by. We can’t miss that opportunity.”

Laroche went to the city at the end of June offering to pay a portion of the cost to build an LRT station at the airport, which early estimates suggest would have a $35-million price tag. This would be included in the total cost of

the $160-million airport link.

Including the airport in Stage 2 of the construction project when the Trillium O-Train line is extended south to Riverside South will benefit the city as a whole, he said, adding that studies have shown that hotels in cities where airports are connected by rail to the downtown see an average of 11 per cent more revenue than those without that.

“Clearly having the (downtown) connected by rail to the airport drives business,” he said.

The city’s request for more money to pay for the two additional line extensions is a good deal considering the province agreed to pay for 100 per cent of the cost of transit projects in Mississauga and Brampton, said Blais.

“We’re only asking for one-third of the cost,” he said. “There’s an opportunity there for the government to step up and show that Ottawa is just as important a part of the province as these other municipalities are.”

Mayor Jim Watson wrote a letter on July 9 to Wynne and Prime Minister Stephen Harper expressing the city’s desire to work with them to secure an agreement for Stage 2 LRT funding, and made special mention of the Trim Road and airport links.

“It is our hope that the Government of Canada will explore the possibility of contributing additional funds to help reach these important destinations,” he wrote to Harper, comments he echoed in a letter to Wynne.

Construction of the light-rail expansion network west to Bayshore, southwest to Baseline, east to Place d’Orléans and south to Riverside South is expected to begin in late 2018 or early 2019, depending on how quickly tenders can be issued.

Falls House “isn’t coming down”: realtor Emma Jackson

Emma.jackson@metroland.com

The whimsical brown and white century home at the corner of Manotick Main Street and Maple Avenue isn’t going anywhere, according to the real estate agent who helped a local resident buy the vacant property this month.

“The bottom line is, the building isn’t coming down,” said realtor James Wright. He said his client is still “in the planning stages” of what he might use the building for. The selling agent Ron Warwaruk suggested it may be turned into some sort of office space.

The new owner could not be reached

for comment.

The 120-year-old house and stable at the village’s busiest intersection last belonged to resident Reg Falls, but after he died in 2012 it was put up for sale.

The property was advertised as ideal for redevelopment, since it’s zoned for mixed-use purposes, which caused some alarm among the village’s longtime residents. They supported Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt’s move to add the building to the city’s heritage registry in late 2013.

Adding a building to the registry doesn’t make it a protected heritage property, but it does mean a developer has to give the city 60 days notice before demolition so the city can review

if the house deserves full heritage status under provincial law.

For nearly two years, residents have been waiting to see what will become of the corner lot. Wright said it was likely on the market for so long because of concerns about the awkward entrance to the property, which you can really only get to from the north side of Maple, and uncertainty about what builders would be allowed to do with the property once it was purchased.

The city’s heritage services coordinator Sally Coutts confirmed that theory.

“We’ve had many inquiries from people who were interested and

looking into what they could do with it,” Coutts said. Most were nervous to go ahead without the promise of demolition.

She said the fact that the house is on the heritage registry means it has “at least some cultural value” and would be a candidate for designation if the owner were to apply to demolish or change the structure.

Luckily for Manotick, the new owner has no intention of tearing down the handsome home, Wright confirmed.

Local historian Larry Ellis said that’s a big win for the community, but he is sceptical it can easily be turned into a useful space.

“It certainly needs a lot of work inside,” Ellis said.

According to his research, the house was likely built around 1896

by Alexander Montgomery.

It passed to John and Dora Falls in 1935 and stayed with the family until their son Reg Falls died in 2012.

The house is “uncommonly narrow” according to the research, but its vertical proportions are typical of urban house styles of the turn of the century. The house has a playful, whimsical quality that radiates from its exaggerated decorative trim, which is why the home is nicknamed “the gingerbread house.”

Ellis said the windows are also original or near original, which just adds to the heritage value.

Inside, the home has wide pine baseboards and wide framed arches and doorways, which Ellis said is typical of older homes. The garage behind the home was used as a stable for horses.

“It’s been a fixture there all these years,” Ellis said.

Parapan Am flame sparked on Parliament Hill Relay to Toronto underway Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

The 2015 Toronto Parapan Am Games will begin Friday with a torch lighting ceremony using a flame lit on Parliament Hill on Aug. 3.

After bringing the flame to life, the first torch relay runners then lapped the Hill, among them past para-sport medal-winners.

At the same time, a second torch was lit in Niagara Falls, and the two flames will meet in Toronto on Aug. 7 for the opening of what will be the

largest ever Parapan Am Games.

The five-day torch relay will cover more than 700 kilometres and 250 people will carry one of the two flames.

“Each of the 250 torchbearers will have a special story to tell,” said Americas Paralympic Committee president José Luis Campo, who hails from Argentina.

Parapan Am Games organizers invited First Nations communities to the torch ceremony, and they took a central role.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North KANATA NORTH ARBORETUM – I was happy to provide a new sign that lists and numbers 44 different tree species that are found along the east and south side of the Beaver Pond. Children love to look for the number in the tree (you have to look carefully) and then check the board to find out what type of tree it is. Not all trees have numbers so you can see if you can identify those without a number. Go to www.ottawaduckclub/beaverpondarboretum for details about this feature and to download a copy of the sign that you can take with you as you explore the area. Thank you to Mario and Marilyn Poirier, to members of the Ottawa Duck Club and to City Forestry staff for a great addition to the community.

Continued from page 49

Cliff Maness, a councillor with the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation, carried the flame onto Parliament Hill in a small lantern. He said local elders added offerings before the flame was lit.

“The spirits of our forefathers will go with the flame,” Maness said.

The first torch bearer was Peter Schuler of the Six Nations Reserve, located near Toronto.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY & SPEEDING are the focus of enforcement in August by the Ottawa Police. Speeding is a problem throughout Kanata North, along with failure to stop at Stop signs, and both create dangerous situations for pedestrians. I have asked police to include Kanata North in this enforcement, so do drive at safe speeds and come to a full stop at every Stop sign, then look in all directions for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians before moving forward. Practise safe driving now and make it a habit that will continue in the future.

AUGUST IS ARCHEOLOGY MONTH in Ottawa.

This is your opportunity to learn more about our area that has been unearthed over the years. Special activities are taking place at City Hall and at Pinhey’s Point in rural Kanata. Visit City Hall all month long for an Archaeology Exhibition to learn about pre-contact and historical archaeology – produced in partnership with Algonquin First Nations.

If you haven’t been to Pinhey’s Point, visit this beautiful site and heritage buildings and explore the history, natural heritage and eco-systems of this early settlement in March Township. Hands on activities for children, to uncover new secrets under the direction of an archaeologist, will create a fascination about our past for them.

My ongoing interest in archaeology stems from the month I spent on a ‘dig site’ when I was 16. Check the City website for more activities.

REGISTRATION STARTS AUGUST 10 for swimming and aqua fitness, and on August 12 for other classes. Check the Recreation eGuide for fall and winter programs for all ages, including swimming lessons, fitness classes, general interest courses, sports and instruction in the arts. To register online or by phone you need a client barcode and family PIN numbers, so be sure to get these in advance. Registration online begins at 9 pm for each date. Changes have been made to ensure no one can register in advance of that time (which was a problem in the past) but due to high numbers it will take some time. Demand is very high for many programs and they quickly sell out so go online and be patient as you wait to have the best opportunity to get the time and location you want. I appreciate hearing about any concerns so that I can continue to work with City staff to improve the system and ensure the programs you need are available.

IMMUNIZATION RECORDS must be updated with Ottawa Public Health (OPH) for all students attending elementary and high schools in Ottawa.

Among the first dozen runners on Parliament Hill were Ottawa athletes, including Karolina Wisniewska, a para-alpine medal-winner at multiple Paralympics, as well as athletes who will take part in the upcoming Parapan Am Games in Toronto.

Paralympic medallist Chelsea Lariviere finished her leg of the relay on foot even though her athletic success has come while rowing or using a wheelchair to race. She was beaming as she reached the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill.

“It’s a really special moment,” Lariviere said. “What (the flame) means is bringing people together despite their differences.”

Ottawa judo athlete Priscilla Gagne – who has limited vision – took the arm of a pace runner during her leg of the relay.

“I used to do wrestling, but wrestling isn’t in the Games,” Gagne said.

“I tried goalball but that’s not combat. I missed fighting.”

Gagne will take on American, Brazilian and Argentinian opponents on Aug. 12 at the Parapan Am Games site in Whitby, Ont. The Parapan Am Games begin in Toronto on Friday, Aug. 7, and run through Aug. 15. More than 1,600 para-athletes from 28 countries will compete in 15 sports, all of which will be Paralympic qualifiers for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

Positive Change for Kanata South

brian.dryden@metroland.com

The push is on to get more kids signed up to participate in the Super Kids races at this month’s Manotick Soap Box Derby.

For the first time, the annual end of summer event in the village scheduled for Sunday, August 30, will include Super Kids races that give youngsters with special needs an opportunity to participate in the fun.

So far just one youth has registered to take part in the Super Kids aspect of the Manotick Village Community Association sponsored event.

But regardless of how many eventually register to take part, the Super Kids races will go forward, said derby organizer Allan Haan.

“We’d like to have at least four, but if we get just one so be it. It would be disappointing, but we’ll go with just one,” Haan said.

“It will not be cancelled.”

The Super Kids program uses custom built two-seater derby

Super Kids program uses specially built derby cars Continued from page 51

cars specifically designed to allow children between eight and 18 years of age who have physical or developmental challenges to participate in soap box derby races.

The addition of the Super Kids to this year’s Manotick soap box derby is a bit of a coup for derby organizers and the MVCA. “MVCA is delighted that the Canadian headquarters of Super Kids in Peterborough is lending us two of their special carts this year so that we can offer children with special needs in the Ottawa area with the opportunity to participate in a soapbox derby,” the MVCA’s Sheila

ROUTES AVAILABLE!

Dubyk said, adding Manotick’s derby is the only one in eastern Ontario to offer the Super Kids program this year.

The carts on loan from Peterborough are expected to arrive in Manotick on August 16.

Registration for the event at Centennial Park, next to the Manotick Arena, is well underway with all information potential participants need available at the MVCA’s website (www. manotickvca.org).

Haan said for the derby as a whole registration is in line with previous years, adding that the pace of registration picks up in August as the event nears.

Participants must be at least seven years of age to race and

can purchase a kit online, or make a race cart from items found around the house. Specifications for the carts can also be found on the MVCA website.

The MVCA also has a limited number of carts available that have been sponsored by associations and businesses in the community for youth who do not have a racing cart. The MVCA has 14 available slots for riders in the seven-sponsored carts.

“The derby is really a family event during which kids can design and build their own carts with the help of a parent or grandparent,” Dubyk said.

“This was one of the driving forces behind starting the Manotick Soapbox Derby five years ago.”

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 It almost seems as if something is working against you this week, Aries. It could just be your overactive imagination. Channel your energy into a creative project.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may get swept away in some lifelike dreams this week, Taurus.

It may be difficult to discern when you’re awake or asleep. Don’t get carried away.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a professional predicament may have you feeling as if you have been run ragged. Regroup, even if it means taking a few days off.

This time away is just the remedy you need.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 It’s nearly impossible to stick to your schedule this week, Cancer. Too many things will pop up, and you’ll be spending your time juggling multiple responsibilities.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your imagination may push you in the wrong direction this week.

Daydreaming instead of getting things done is risky. Focus on the tasks at hand.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your coworkers will come through in a big way this week. Make the most of this opportunitity to work together as a team, and it will pay dividends going forward.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a little daydreaming can be good for the soul. Give daydreams their due time, but remember to refocus on real life as well. You’re up to a challenge you face this week.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your schedule is about to clear up so now is a great time to take some time off. You deserve a break after buckling down for so long. Relax and enjoy yourself.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You know what needs to be done, Sagittarius. You may not have enough manpower to get everything accomplished, so put out a few feelers to see who is up to helping.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, continue with your consistent approach to handling your many responsibilities. You’re juggling a lot these days, and you’re benefitting from your work ethic.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, adhere to your original plan this week, avoiding distraction until the tasks at hand are a distant memory. Your plan is reliable and sure to work.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 It’s nearly impossible to hide your emotions right now, Pisces. So why not share them and get some support from friends and family?

Over 60 varieties of garlic will be featured for buyers to taste and try, along with information sessions on choosing, growing and harvesting the bulb as well as cooking demonstrations. This year there’s a new twist on our festival – wine! Carp is now home to a winery and their wine is sold exclusively at the Carp Farmers' Market, including this year's Garlic Festival! In addition to new vendors we also have surprisingly delectable dairy free ice cream!
