News - A two-car collision on Hines Road near Innovation Drive resulted in the death of an elderly man in hospital on Aug. 2.

The driver of the other vehicle involved was also transported to hospital, but police have given no updates on her condition.

Several children in one of the vehicles were not reported to have sustained any injuries.

The crash occurred at about 2 p.m. leaving one vehicle on its side in a ditch, and the other still on the road, said Marc Messier, spokesman for Ottawa ďŹ re department.

The female occupant of the vehicle in the ditch was out of her vehicle when ďŹ reďŹ ghters arrived. Though she did not appear to have any serious injuries, ďŹ reďŹ ghters said she was complaining of pain in her hip, said Messier.

The other vehicle had up to six occupants, including an elderly man in his early 80s and the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, who was driving the vehicle, said Messier.

There were also three or four children in

Route changes proposed in response to new subdivisions Continued from page 1

Wilkinson said much of the community’s concern came from the belief that the changes were going ahead no matter what.

However, residents’ worries about the proposal were heard, she said, adding that she will be pushing for changes to the proposed bus route alterations.

“The proposal they put forward was very beneficial for a lot of people, including some that were at the meeting, but it caused problems for some of the others,” said Wilkinson, adding that those who would still take bus Route 60 would have a shorter ride, though those having to take the new Route 64 would be inconvenienced.

Community members at the meeting opposed the uneven alterations, said Wilkinson, adding that residents did not want improved service if it was at the expense of their neighbours.

Other proposed changes to bus routes include Route 68, which will no longer go to Terry Fox Drive, but will end at Goulbourn Forced Road near Kanata Avenue, and will no longer travel on Goldridge Drive in Kanata Lakes.

Route 181 buses will travel on Terry Fox Drive on the east side of Kanata and continue to the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Innovation Drive.

Wilkinson expects to meet with OC Transpo representatives on Aug. 15 to go over alternatives and then discuss them with community members at her town hall meeting on Aug. 20.

“We’ll know what changes they are willing to make and what the timing will be and things of that nature to get a second round of input from the public,” said Wilkinson.

OC Transpo did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Chris Wardle, who attended the meeting, said the community was “up in arms,” about the proposed changes to reduce service in Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook by 25 per cent when it is needed most, during the winter, which is when they would be introduced.

The meeting saw nearly 100 people attend.

The subject of controversy was the creation of a new 64 route that would serve Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook residents, but would travel Terry Fox Drive to the west on its way to the highway.

OC Transpo representatives at the meeting explained the proposed changes to bus routes 60, 68 and 181, and the addition of a 64 route.

Under the proposal, the 60 would no longer make its loop up Halton Terrace and down Flamborough way, and would instead go from Morgan’s Grant Way down to Innovation Drive to meet up with March Road at Solandt Road, with most of the rest of the route unchanged.

The new 64 route would serve FILE Nearly 100 north Kanata residents turned out for a public meeting on proposed changes to bus routes on- much of Flamborough Way and Halton Terrace, but buses would take July 30, during which many pushed for different options.

Terry Fox south and drive through Kanata Lakes before getting to the highway.

OC Transpo staff said the new route would take just a few minutes longer than the 60. The comment was greeted with boos from community members at the meeting, said Wardle.

We want to see it!

The changes are in response to the We are looking for real weddings from growth of subdivisions on the north and west edges of Kanata north of the local couples for our 2015 highway, as well as in anticipation of edition of Wedding Trends Magazine further subdivisions farther up March serving The Ottawa and Valley Area.

Anthony Sam, right, director for the Investors Group’s Ottawa-Kanata region, hands a cheque for $14,238 to Karen Waters of the Kanata Food Cupboard on July 31. The Ottawa-Kanata Investors Group raised the money with their second annual golf tournament, almost doubling last year’s total of $8,070. Waters called the tournament the food cupboard’s single largest fundraiser, and said the money is enough to feed 90 families of four for six days. ‘(The donation) will definitely help the food cupboard,’ she said. ‘It shows what a community can do when everyone gets together.’

OPINION EDITORIAL

Impromptu memorials are valid

P

reventable deaths are painful for those left behind.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable that those who have lost a loved one would want to help others avoid a similar outcome, hence the increasing number of ghost bikes in the city.

A ghost bike is an old bike turned memorial.

They stand near the site of the fatal accident. To some they are a critical reminder and tribute, while others see only chaos, ugliness or a reminder of death.

Those who have recently complained about a ghost bike at Bank Street and Riverside Drive may prompt the city to enact a process that runs counter to the spirit of the ghost bikes. The city would do well to avoid feeling pressured to act.

Ghost bikes are a spontaneous response to a spontaneous event. If they grab the attention of passers-by then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. What better place to remind drivers of the possible consequence of bad driving than the place where a death occurred? Reality shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be hidden away. It

should be as in-your-face as the death was for the unfortunate rider.

A potential bonus is that drivers may even slow down when they are reminded of the risks their cars pose to those on bikes or on foot.

Cyclists in turn may be reminded to ride defensively.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to discuss the issue because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a year since a ghost bike was erected at the corner or Bank and Riverside, after a rider was killed in a collision with a cement truck.

That site has been decorated for special occasions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and has also been kept neat and clean by volunteers.

There have been flags for Canada Day and flower planters brighten the spot. It would be fair to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the cleanest street corners in the city thanks to their efforts.

While these memorials should never impede public walkways, those who complain the bikes should be removed because they remind others of death, or are an eyesore, are missing the point.

Campingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a breeze â&#x20AC;&#x201C; until you go it alone

A

lot of people I know are intimidated by the idea of tent camping with their kids.

I probably would be, too, except that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m married to a Boy Scout.

Actually, he was never part of the organization, but anyone who knows my spouse understands he can as easily whittle oversized camp cooking utensils from branches (he did this 13 years ago on our first camping trip together when we forgot the utensil bag), as he can fix a brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manicure using only the contents of his wallet. (The latter occurred at the nuptials of my brother and sister-inlaw and earned him the nickname MacGyver).

My children know mom is useless when it comes to manual skills, while

Capital Muse dad can pretty much fix anything.

If a button falls off, they ask dad to repair it. If they need a haircut, they go to dad. If their bike chains fall off, they would rather call dad at work to ask him how to fix it themselves than approach mom about it.

People talk about preparing for an emergency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 72-hour kit and so on. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got water, beans and flashlights, but really, my only hope of surviving any kind of major disaster is to be in the presence of my spouse.

How else will I figure out a way to open the beans without the electric can opener?

Camping with the Mister, as you can imagine, is a dream. The man can string a tarp like nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business. He can sew a leaky tent and start a fire with a single match. He even knows how to make a forest latrine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a pee pit, if you will â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pretty useful, depending on the distance from tent to flush toilets.

When we camp as a family, my spouse often prefers me to take the kids to the beach and just â&#x20AC;&#x153;leave him to itâ&#x20AC;? to get the site organized. No problem.

But every once in a while, I start to feel a little jealous of my spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practical skill set and all the admiration that goes along with it.

then I decide to do something really brave â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or crazily overconfident â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to demonstrate my can-do attitude and ability.

This year, I booked seven nights of tent camping with my three children (including a potty-training twoyear-old), and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going in August, while my husband is stuck at work.

Yup, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going it alone. My boys are old enough to understand that this may not be the greatest plan in the world. Still, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been enthusiastic supporters. (Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dreaming of eight glorious days of freedom in the woods and at the beach). When I first informed them of the trip, they promised they would help me out with all the things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m â&#x20AC;&#x153;not very good at.â&#x20AC;?

As they listed off some of the things they intend to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; put up the tents, inflate the air mattresses, climb a tree to string a clothesline and start the campfire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I realized I had grossly overestimated their confidence in me.

Still, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it will all be just fine, right? While I may turn out to be a camping disaster, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m counting on the fact that my kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who actually are in Boy Scouts and have Mister for a dad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will keep things ticking along smoothly.

Passengers flee the scene of car crash: witness Continued from page 5

A witness who wished to remain anonymous said the man arrested was 19 years ol and added that the vehicle involved burst through an intersection and narrowly escaped hitting a pair of poles before slamming into large rocks on the shoulder of the road.

A pair of passengers from the car then fled, said the

witness.

“There were two other passengers, a female and a male around the same age,” said the witness.

“They got out, the male was rummaging, trying to find his wallet. Neither of them checked to see if their friend was OK.” The two ran off and got into a red hatchback which appeared to have been following the crashed vehicle,

R0362496643

and left, said the witness.

Police did not confirm whether or not passengers fled the scene.

The driver of the vehicle was not injured, but smelled of alcohol while the crashed sedan contained empty alcohol bottles, said the witness.

“He was very out of it … but he was so remorseful,” the source said.

“He felt like he had destroyed his whole world.”

Building a foundation of trust...one home at a time LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Branch manager Donna Clark takes a seat in the new West District Library shortly before it reopened on Aug. 6.

Beaverbrook branch reborn as West District Library Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - When the Beaverbrook library branch reopened its doors on Aug. 6, it looked a little different to branch manager Donna Clark, who first worked there in 1992 as a children’s librarian.

Now, the LEED silver certified building, designated the district library for the west end, is a bright and airy marvel of technology, she said.

“It’s state-of-the-art,” Clark said.

Work has been ongoing since April of 2013 to transform the branch from 993 square metres to 2,224 square metres, making space for new meeting areas and flexible spaces with seating and desks for reading and studying. There are outlets hidden everywhere, so there is no “bad seat” without a place to

plug in their devices, or they can use one of the 18 desktop computers available at the branch.

On the first floor, a new conveyer belt weaves along the ceiling, bringing books from the drop-box towards the sorting room. The branch now features radio-frequency identification or RFID technology to help track and sort materials instantly. The library can now hold 100,000 items, a collection 30 per cent larger than before the renovation.

The $10-million new library designed by Moriyama & Teshima Architects also boasts more meeting areas, including a small study room and larger spaces that can be booked for gatherings or workshops.

A quiet study area closed off from the rest of the library can be found on the second floor, next to the Kanata Room, housing local history

and its familiar stained-glass panels.

As patrons move throughout the library, the lights will move with them, turning on and off via motion sensors.

The heating and cooling systems are also automated, while exterior LED lights are powered through solar cells and controlled using timers – all part of the LEED environmental certification. Unique storm-water management using a garden at the drop-off point and an electric vehicle charging station are also ecofriendly features.

The new branch also has space for a permanent Friends of the Ottawa Public Library fundraising book store.

Money to build the new library was collected from charges on new development used to help pay for city facilities to serve the growing population.

Large residential development proposed on Huntmar Road Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Amazon Land Development Corp. is awaiting a green light from the city to build more than 200 apartment and townhouse units and two commercial buildings south of the Candian Tire Centre.

The proposed development is located north of the Fairwinds community and south of Palladium Drive where a farmhouse built in 1887 currently stands. Amazon’s development proposal includes maintaining the farmhouse and the land immediately surrounding it for commercial purposes.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said the proposed development is something the city has been aware of for some time, and that it fits in with the city’s plans for development west of Kanata.

“It was discussed that anything closer to Stittsville would be low residential in terms of single-family units, matching or mirroring Stittsville, and as you move towards the 417, the density would increase, and that’s what they are reflecting in this development,” he said.

Amazon’s proposed plan is for two commercial buildings, both four storey’s tall,

to be built along Huntmar Drive with parking immediately behind the building; 13 low-rise apartment buildings with 12 units each in the middle of the property; and 12 townhouse blocks with 52 units on the south-west end of the property.

The farmhouse, which did not receive heritage designation, would be located between an apartment building and townhouse units according to the proposal.

The planning rationale for the proposal states that a heritage committee agreed Amazon would enter into an agreement to maintain and secure the (farmhouse) lands to ensure preservation of the home and site.

Amazon’s plan is for the farmhouse to be used for commercial purposes, with some examples being a professional office and a personal service business or restaurant.

Qadri said he sees the project as a whole being beneficial for the community, especially with regards to jobs and the local economy.

“Economic growth, obviously, is important to every community, and this will be doing exactly that because it will be bringing some employment into that part of Stittsville,” he said.

Qadri’s only concern is for the area’s transportation infrastructure. However, he said that should be addressed with the planned north-south arterial road which will run along the south-east edge of the proposed development.

“We’ve looked at the transportation plans,” he said. “By the time this site is fully developed, we will have, hopefully, fully developed infrastructure for transportation like the north-south arterial.”

President of the Fairwinds Community Association, Candace Carson, said much of the community has yet to check out the plans for the subdivision, and that “the community association is in the process of collecting information and concerns from residents.”

Her own opinion is that the development should not have a negative impact on the SUBMITTED community provided that the Amazon Land Development Corp. wants to build apartment buildings, townhouses and environmental and traffic as- several commercial buildings south of Canadian Tire Centre on 173 Huntmar Dr. sessments are accurate.

Any comments from the community can be sent to city planner Mike Schmidt

by Aug. 15 by phone at 613580-2424 ext. 13431, or by email at mike.schmidt@ottawa.ca.

Fundraiser aims for 19th homerun for young hearts Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - A charity baseball tournament held in honour of a Kanata Little League player who died after hitting a home run is hoping to raise more money for CHEO with its 19thannual event.

The Scott Tokessy Memorial Gold Glove Tournament has raised $280,000 for CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cardiology department.

Scott Tokessy was playing baseball three days before his 12 birthday when he hit a home run. But, after rounding the bases, Scott collapsed due to an irregular heartbeat. The heart condition was not known at the time, and Scott passed away in 1996.

Since then, the annual Scott Tokessy tournament has been raising money and growing to include dozens of teams. The event is now Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest little league tournament for charity, said Richard Perkins, an

organizer with the tournament.

Last year, the tournament raised $15,000, with money coming from team registrations, season-long raffle ticket sales to win donated prizes, a silent auction during the tournament and concession sales, said Perkins.

This year, 43 teams are registered so far, coming from as far away as the Greater Toronto Area, Montreal and New York State.

This is the second year the tournament is accepting rookie age players in addition to the major, minor and junior league teams, meaning the tournament now accepts players ages seven to 14.

This is the first year the tournament will not have taken place during the August long weekend in a bid to attract more teams.

The majority of the game play will take place at the baseball diamonds at Walter Baker Park, including at Scott Tokessy Diamond at the cor-

ner of Maple Grove Road and Terry Fox Drive where Scott passed away. Games will also be played at the Upper and Lower Kinsmen diamonds and at Roland Michener Public School.

The event begins on Aug. 8, with Mayor Jim Watson throwing the opening pitch of the tournament the following morning.

Considering the growth of the tournament and the strong volunteer and corporate support it receives, Perkins said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foresee the end of the event any time soon.

Perkins has been helping out with the tournament for four years, and says he is proud to be a part of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we are doing something that creates benefit for the community at large and helps to preserve Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory in such a great way, it makes me feel very happy to be a part of it every year,â&#x20AC;? he said.

a 20-year-old man who had fallen about down the cliff and treated him for minor injuries.

Early reports indicate the man had fallen first and the woman had gone to help him. Both campers were reported to be from the Aylmer area.

Meanwhile, OPP and paramedics attended a remote address in the Matawatchan area of Greater Madawaska in response to a call that a 65-year-old Ottawa man was choking on food while eating at a campfire. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Ontario Coroners Office is investigating both fatals.

Police also report the deaths of two people when the Seadoo on which they were riding collided with rocks near Dow Island on the Ottawa River about five kilometres upstream from Petawawa just after 10 p.m. Sunday.

Zachary Lapointe, 20, of Pembroke, and Tiffany Burgess, 25, of Petawawa were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Town of Petawawa Fire Department water rescue boat, Garrison Petawawa Military Police and fire department, Paramedics, and the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP Marine Unit assisted at the scene.

The Kanata crash that claimed the life of a driver occurred on Hines Road near the intersection of Terry Fox Drive and March Road Saturday about 2 p.m. Ottawa police report a man and woman were injured in the two-vehicle crash and taken to hospital.

The man died of his injuries overnight.

Anyone who saw the crash is asked to contact Ottawa police at 613-236-1222, ext.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The long weekend proved to be a deadly one in the Upper Ottawa Valley with at least five deaths and four other people seriously injured.

The deaths came in four separate incidents, including a two-car collision in Kanata, a night-time boating crash in the Pembroke area, a late night fall down a cliff in Horton and a choking at a Matawatchan area campsite.

The dangers of camping were driven home by the latter two incidents being investigated by the Renfrew OPP. The OPP report that on Sunday Aug. 3 at about 2 a.m., officers responded to a report of two campers who had fallen down an embankment in Horton near the mouth of the Bonnechere River off River Road.

Police, fire and paramedics found a 24-year old woman dead at the bottom of a steep embankment. They rescued

By David Johnston is not a tactic we should be embracing if we are truly one big city.”

Muirhead says the decision to add the special levy to Kanata North tax bills was made after only one meeting. He contends there was not enough consultation with residents. “We were denied our opportunity to be consulted,” says Muirhead.

“Nobody is arguing that the poles shouldn’t be buried but it’s a mystery to me as to why Councillor Wilkinson thought pushing through an additional tax on the residents of Kanata North was a better idea than pushing for this project to have been cost-shared with the city as a whole”.

Two men in the other car, a father and son aged 70 and 39, were seriously injured in the crash.

Two of the other injuries came in a Sunday morning crash on Highway 17 at the corner of Doran Road east of Petawawa. Police report a 33-year-old driver of a Chevrolet Trailblazer mini-van and her 44-year-old husband are in hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries after their vehicle was hit by a tractortrailer truck.

Police say the driver of the tractor-trailer from the Gatineau area was charged with failing to stop for red light.

On Saturday, a 20-year-old man suffered lifethreatening injuries when his all-terrain-vehicle went out of control. OPP report that Dustin Etmanskie of Madawaska Valley was driving a 1985 Honda three-wheeler when it went into the ditch. Because of the severity of his injuries, he was air-lifted to Ottawa Hospital.

THE MARIANNE WILKINSON TAX STILL A SHOCK TO KANATA NORTH RESIDENTS…

Muirhead believes that a city the size of Ottawa should look after municipal services such as the burial of hydro lines – and not push additional, unfair, financial burdens on Kanata North families, “This is not the kind of cost that should be singled out from other road work and related infrastructure costs that take place across the city.” said Muirhead.

Matt Muirhead is running for Ottawa council to represent Kanata North.

When the City of Ottawa approved a special tax for Kanata residents to pay for burying hydro lines on Kanata Avenue, many residents didn’t realize they would be paying for years to come. In fact, many residents didn’t realize they would be paying at all.

The leading candidate for City Councillor in Kanata North in the October 27 municipal election, Matt Muirhead speaks for neighbours and families to preserve the community’s unique character and ensure responsible development.

Muirhead stood up against Wilkinson’s tax increase at the time it was imposed, even penning a letter to the mayor and Kanata North city council candidate Matt Muirhead is each member of council to ask them to vote down the unfair concerned about such ‘hidden taxes’ imposed on residents tax hike. without their knowledge. He points to Councillor Marianne “I was representing the 4,000 people of Morgan’s Grant and Wilkinson as the person behind the extra tax.

Briarbrook when I spoke out against Marianne’s tax at her The motion was pushed through quickly, and quietly, on residents to bury lines from about 10 poles along Kanata Avenue from Goulbourn Forced Road to Richardson Side Road. The Wilkinson Tax – officially known as the Kanata North Levy - came into effect in 2011.

The estimated $2.5 million cost to bury the lines works out to be an extra $15 to $18 a year for the next 10 years for all homeowners in Kanata North. Some residents see this as setting a precedent for a new tactic that the city can use to tax residents for various ward-specific wants or needs. Many feel that this was exactly the type of thing that residents were promised would be avoided as part of amalgamation with the City of Ottawa.

hurriedly-put-together public meeting in 2010. Sadly, we were ignored. Burying hydro lines should be a matter of policy, not solved by demanding $2.5 million in additional taxes from Kanata North residents.”

A parent, educator, and community activist, Muirhead lives in Kanata Lakes where he is raising his three children, two daughters aged 11 and 8 and a five-year-old son. The 40-year-old Kanata North candidate has been president of the Kanata Lakes Community Association since moving there in 2011.

“Many of whom I represent were, and remain, rightly infuriated by this unfair tax”, Muirhead concluded, “I will fight hard against the practice of unfair tax increases like this Matt Muirhead, who also serves as President of the Kanata one. In fact, I’ll be looking for ways to decrease the already Lakes Community Association, questions why only residents exorbitant tax rates that we pay, while maintaining services from the ward have to foot the bill. “We realize that some for families and people living in Kanata North.”

McCrimmon launches campaign to seek riding nomination Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A beautiful sunny day; a legion in Kanata Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business park; a meeting about politics: how many would actually attend?

Turns out more than 100 Liberal supports came out for Karen McCrimmonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination campaign launch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy. It was more than I could have expected,â&#x20AC;? said McCrimmon, who has unofficially campaigned in the riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills since losing to Conservative Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor in the last election.

However, this time McCrimmonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a battle just to secure the Liberal nomination in the riding, which because of redistribution is becoming Kanata-Carleton. She faces past provincial candidate Megan Cornell, who held her launch one day after McCrimmonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July 23 launch.

It appears that with Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor not running again in 2015, the Liberals see their best chance to win in many elections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been working hard to build the foundation for a Liberal win next year,â&#x20AC;?

McCrimmon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am choosing to look at this (nomination race with Cornell) as a positive thing.â&#x20AC;?

If Cornell raises money and boosts membership, it bodes well for the party as a whole, especially in a riding that has been decidedly Tory blue for many years.

McCrimmon is quick to point to inroads she has made.

In 2010, local Liberals had $325 in the bank and 75 members, including 30 to 40 volunteers. It now has $40,000 and about 260 members, including 200 volunteers.

She admits there is still a long way to go compared to the Conservatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a very powerful machine in this riding,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget their database. They know how to

use it for fundraising. They treat voters as consumers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about marketing.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always said Liberals in the past have always had a high quality product (with) no marketing skills.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the opposite for the Conservatives, she added.

HIGH TECH

Numerous questions were posed to McCrimmon at the launch, including one on how to improve the ridingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. She said the Conservative focus on natural resource extraction, primarily from western provinces, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done much for people in Ottawa.

She said she has a plan to boost high tech. That will come as good news to John Hansen who ran for the New Democrats in the recent provincial election. McCrimmon said she spoke with the former high tech worker who focused on the issue most of the campaign in contrast to PC incumbent Jack MacLaren emphasis on resource extraction.

She insists the hyper partisanship practiced by Conservatives is unproductive.

On the environment, she started out by stating she believes in climate change and that it is caused largely by human activity, unlike many Conservatives who view scientific findings on the topic with suspicion.

But she favours a gradual and â&#x20AC;&#x153;very practicalâ&#x20AC;? transition away from burning carbon. If nothing is done the consequences will likely be catastrophic, but if something is done the worst that will happen is â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will cost a bit of money.â&#x20AC;?

That is why she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall for the all-or-nothing sides when it comes to developing the Alberta Tar Sands. She wants to ensure Canada gets top dollar from reputable customers, not discounted sales of raw resources to China and the U.S. McCrimmon calls herself a

Her training in mediation is why she believes in the twostate solution for the Israeli/ Palestinian dispute, though she said reverting to the pre1967 borders (which gave much more land to Palestinians) would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty tough to do.â&#x20AC;?

Week in Review Lombardo Sidewalk To improve the pedestrian network in your community, The City of Ottawa is planning to construct a new sidewalk along Lombardo Drive.

The new 1.8m concrete sidewalk will be constructed on the south side of Lombardo between McDermot Court and Lightfoot Place. The work will begin in September of 2014 and is expected to be completed by the end of fall 2014.

Catch Basins in the Road It’s normal for water to pool around a catch basin in wet weather. Roads are designed to drain based on the sewer capacity.

You may create a service request to advise the City of a catch basin (drain cover) that is: UÊ V i`Ê­V>ÕÃ }Êy ` }Ê ÊÌ iÊÀ >`® UÊ ÃÃ } UÊ -Õ i Ê ÀÊÀ> Ãi` UÊ À i You will be required to provide: UÊ / iÊÃÌÀiiÌÊ > iÊ> `Ê Õ LiÀÊ ÀÊÃÌÀiiÌÊ > iÊ> `Ê ÌiÀÃiVÌ ÊV ÃiÃÌÊÌ Ê where the catch basin is located.

News - The Carp Fairgrounds will be home this weekend (Aug. 9-10) to what has grown to be the biggest garlic festival in Canada.

The 15th annual garlic festival will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, with more than 120 booths showcasing 35 dedicated garlic vendors selling fresh garlic, garlic spreads, sips, braids and baskets. They will join the 85 regular Carp Farmers Market vendors to celebrate the harvest of ‘the stinking rose’.

More than 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 from the chef/owner of Preston Street’s popular MeNa restaurant.

This year there’s a new twist on that old favourite – gelato. Try a taste of crispy prosciutto with maple syrup and roasted garlic gelato or, perhaps, pear, gorgonzola, roasted garlic and toasted pine nuts.

Enjoy the variety of the festival’s huge international food court, its ample parking, wheelchair accessibility and free admission.

“There really is something for every taste and table,” said Carp Farmers Market Garlic Festival chair Paul Lacelle. “The garlic harvest this year has been outstanding and we’re at the season’s peak for high quality, local fresh produce.

“The festival seems to grow each year and the vendors are ready with a warm welcome for old friends and new, rain or shine (and the forecast is for shine).”

City Councillor, Kanata North PUBLIC MEETING RE BUS ROUTE CHANGES Thank you to the more than 80 residents who attended last week’s meeting with OC Transpo and myself to discuss the suggested changes to express bus routes, primarily in Morgan’s Grant and Briarbrook. Some residents who would benefit from the changes spoke out in support of those who would end up with a longer bus route. I appreciated the fact they did not want better service if it resulted in poorer service for others.

OC Transpo is reviewing all of the suggestions and considering the alternative proposals suggested. I will meet with OC Transpo reps on August 15th to review their findings and make further suggestions. I will then bring the new suggestions to my August 20th Town Hall meeting, which will be held in meeting rooms A and B at the new Beaverbrook Library at 7 pm. If additional meetings or discussions are needed, they can be scheduled following that meeting. Due to the upcoming municipal election, I will not be permitted to hold Town Hall Meetings after August 27th, so the following one will be in November.

Thomas A Dolan Parkway opened earlier than expected and Ridgetop Road was expected to open this week after a washout on both roads forced the city to replace the culverts.

MARCH ROAD ACCIDENT We were all saddened by the death of two local men who, while waiting for a traffic light to change, were hit by a speeding car that went out of control. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Jonathan Goicoechea and Daniel Louks on this tragic accident.

I have heard from residents on the speed limit on March Road, both for keeping the present limit of 80 km/h and for reducing it. With all of the development along this road over the past few years, I am asking our traffic department to review the speed limits to see if any changes would be warranted. The police also charge speeders from time to time. Each month police in Ottawa and Gatineau choose specific road safety issues and focus on enforcement of them. In August it is pedestrian safety and speeding. Do drive safely and watch for pedestrians and cyclists. When walking, face the traffic if there is no sidewalk, and be vigilant when crossing the street.

News - Work on Thomas A Dolan Parkway in West Carleton finished ahead of schedule, with culverts installed before the end of July.

The paving on Ridgetop Road was finished last week and is just waiting for guardrails before the road opens this week, said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

The roads weren’t expected to be in use before August, but the work, which included installing new culverts and raising Thomas A Dolan by 0.3 metres to stop water from pooling in the street, finished up earlier than originally anticipated.

El-Chantiry said he was pleased with the speed of the work. Thomas A Dolan was opened July 29, with Ridgetop repaved on July 30 and just waiting on a guardrail before opening.

Both roads were washed out by heavy rains in June, forcing their closure until replacement culverts could be installed.

Kinburn Side Road is scheduled for resurfacing next year. In preparation, crews will be replacing 15 culverts along the roadway, said El-Chantiry.

He added that motorists could expect short traffic disruptions for the remainder of the summer on the Kinburn Side Road while the work is underway.

Inaugural non-stop paddling marathon to flow into Ottawa Kingston to Ottawa race to span 202 kilometres, 22 portages Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

R0012830516-0807

Sports - Equal parts of sheer will, a thirst for adventure and a zest for paddling will be just some of what is required for the successful completion of an inaugural 202-kilometre race from Kingston to Ottawa later this month.

In a word, the K20 endurance paddling marathon will be grueling, said competitive paddler and event co-organizer Gaetan Plourde.

“It’s definitely a very tough challenge for people,” the Perth resident said of the race, which must be completed within 32 hours. “They have to prepare mentally.”

About 60 to 70 per cent of the race will be mental “... just because (at) three o’clock in the morning when you’ve been racing for 20 hours or so and you’re very, very tired and it’s dark outside and you’re in pain – how do you convince yourself to keep going to the end of the race?” he said.

Already, more than 60 participants on more than 30 teams from Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, and as far away as the Yukon and the United States, have signed up for the adventure that takes place on Aug. 16 and 17.

They will travel along the Cataraqui River, across several lakes, then the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal.

“In general, I think that adventure racing is growing,” said Plourde. “There is interest in obstacle races, there’s interest in long-distance races and ultra-long-distance races.

So, as a whole, I think that the market for adventures and people who want to challenge

themselves is growing.”

After launching in downtown Kingston, K2O participants will race against time, until they reach their final stop at the Corktown Footbridge in Ottawa.

“It’s straight through, so there’s no mandatory rest stops,” said Plourde. “Racers will be going through the night with lights on their heads and lighting provided at some of the lock stations along the way.”

The paddlers’ support crews are allowed to carry gear, food, water and other provisions, such as medical supplies and a change of clothes, along the way.

Those taking part in the competitive classes will need to portage their own boats 22 times, while racers in the adventure classes can ask their support crews to portage for them.

“It really is to prove to yourself that you can do it,” said Plourde. “It’s the personal challenge, I think, that drives most, but it’s the spirit of adventure racing that draws people to these types of events.”

As a competitive canoeist, he has tested his own mental and physical might in longdistance races in the U.S. and Australia, as well as the daunting 715-kilometre Yukon River Quest, the longest canoe and kayak race in the world.

He shared his idea for the race with long-time friend and fellow competitive paddler, Stittsville resident Ian Mockett.

“For several years we’ve been doing some racing, and a few years back the idea just came to me – that there’s no real long races in Ontario and

The Ontario Marathon Canoe and Kayak Racing Association agreed to sanction the race, and Parks Canada, which governs the waterways they’d earmarked for the event, gave the pair the green light.

“It’s a beautiful area,” Plourde said. “One, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, and in terms of paddling the Ottawa-Kingston area, it’s one of the best routes that’s available with easy portaging in between and easy for support teams to get access to their paddlers.”

Plourde is very familiar with the pull of competitive paddling set against the backdrop of rugged landscapes in all weather conditions, not just for hours, but for days at a time.

“Often it’s people who enjoy paddling to begin with,” he said of those who are drawn to this sport. “And then they do a couple of races and they (realize) longer races are a bigger challenge for them.”

The K2O is open to canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, outriggers and voyageur canoes, as well as solo paddlers, pairs or teams, including relay teams.

Boats with sails or pedals are not permitted.

Given the growing interest in the first-time event, Plourde

is already envisioning success for years to come.

“Certainly, we’re hoping this will be the first of an annual event, and in future years we’re going to be looking at expanding it in different ways, but this year is our proof of concept, if you will,” he said.

Though Plourde is enjoying co-organizing the firstyear marathon, he has his eye on eventually conquering the K2O himself.

“I’d love to race it one day,” he said.

The deadline for registering is Aug. 15, the day before the race begins. For details, visit kingston2ottawa.ca, or facebook.com/kingstontoottawa200.

Right Bike expansion on track News - Right Bike is on track to roll right through its goal of adding eight new bicycle-share stations, but it needs more donations to hit 100 bikes.

The community bike-sharing system received a city grant to give people in Centretown, Lowertown and the Beechwood area access to low-cost bike rentals.

Eight new stations have been added to the existing seven Right Bike stands, which were located in the west end. The new stations are mainly located in Centretown, but Right Bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shane Norris said he expects an additional five or six stations to be added as the service moves eastward into Lowertown and along Beechwood Avenue.

Right Bike has already surpassed the number of stations the city expected it to be able to add with the $30,000 Better Neighbourhoods grant it was given, Norris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we are pushing beyond,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Right Bike has already seen a boost in use from the new stations. Norris said there were 300 trips made by Right Bike by this time last year and 500 trips made in the same period this year. Users can buy six-month memberships for $60, a threeday pass for $20 or a one-day pass for $5. The bikes can be checked out by picking up lock keys at a hub, as listed on rightbike.org. Bikes can be returned to any hub.

The next stations to open will likely be at the Centretown Community Health Centre at 420 Cooper St. and the Lowertown Community Resource Centre at 40 Cobourg St. Stations in the Beechwood area will be added last, in September and October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are building the infrastructure and slowly expanding eastward,â&#x20AC;? Norris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have standalone stations ... They need to be part of a net-

work.â&#x20AC;?

Right Bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season ends Oct. 31, so getting all the new stations in place and agreements signed with locations means they will all be ready to go when Right Bike starts up again next spring, Norris said.

But to get there, Norris needs more bikes. He is looking for people to donate their unused three-speed â&#x20AC;&#x153;cruiserâ&#x20AC;? style bikes in any condition, which he then refurbishes and paints in Right Bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature lilac colour.

Anyone from across the city can donate bikes by bringing them directly to Right Bike at 1A McCormick St. in Hintonburg, to Cycle Salvation, 473 Bronson Ave. in Centretown or to either Habitat for Humanity Re-Store location (7 Enterprise Ave. or 2370 Walkley Rd.).

Bikes can also be picked up from anywhere in the city. Pickups can be arranged by emailing rightbike.cwc@gmail.com or calling 613-722-4440.

Art endeavour sows seeds for botanical garden Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Arts - Take a turn into a faroff corner at the Experimental Farm and you’ll find yourself in a different kind of agricultural wonderland.

Without guiding signs, a labyrinth constructed in the dappled shade of a 100-year-old red oak might seem like a whimsical mystery tucked away in the centre of the city – as would an arbour with 20 types of squash crawling up its wire sides.

Those curious enough to have stumbled into its midst will find themselves enchanted by this display of “agri-art” – a play on installations created using the landscape, with a farming twist.

The idea, called Beyond the Edge: Artists’ Gardens, is a four-year labour of love for cocurator Mary Faught.

“I’ve been involved either as an artist/landscape architect doing land art and artists gardens for almost 20 years and have always wanted to do an exhibition like this to Ottawa,” she

said.

Faught was part of a group of artists who participated in a land art project at Toronto’s Harbourfront 20 years ago and bringing that type of cultural showcase to Ottawa has always been Faught’s dream, her cocurator, Judith Parker, said.

They hope the installations, which incorporate living plants into an ever-evolving landscape, help reconnect people with nature.

“There are many levels and many layers,” Parker said. “I hope it connects people with their natural world and I hope it allows them to ask questions.”

Passersby have been discovering the garden since it opened in late June. The exhibit will run until Sept. 27 and is free to explore. It is located east of Prince of Wales Drive, just north of the signalized intersection in the middle of the Central Experimental Farm.

The plot of land is ideal for such an installation because it’s the site of what a group called the Canadensis Society hopes will become a botanical

garden in the future. The nonprofit organization is working to bring to life the federal government’s original vision for that land along the west side of the Rideau Canal, just south of the Fletcher Wildlife Garden.

By 2017, the society hopes to have completed the first phase of a botanic garden that would include interactive and educational elements to promote a deeper understanding of our interdependence with nature.

That theme is explored through installations in the artists’ garden, including Wakefield artist cj fleury’s Our Lady of Complete Protein. The white-picket-fenced lined garden plot is a commentary on the environmental impact of meat production watched over by a shield evoking a female shape in place of the crucifixes that were a common sight in Quebec fields during fleury’s childhood.

Working in large spaces in nothing new to fleury, who also participated in the Harbourfront project, but being able to do land art in Ottawa is a new

experience.

“It’s a total first,” she said.

“It’s amazing that it’s happening on the farm. The idea is that it really has these agricultural connections.”

Fleury said visitors can be challenged by the way land art changes and never remains static and she wanted to push that idea even further by recently installing pink-painted paper bags over all the sunflowers that have been growing in her installation all summer.

“The cool thing is that you can go more than one time,” she said. “It changes with you.”

Fisher Park resident Ruth Loomer was navigating the installations in her wheelchair with her daughter-in-law, Judy Vermette. Both avid gardeners, Vermette was especially intrigued by her first local opportunity to experience the type of landscape art she had only read about.

“I think we’ll come back for the soup,” she said. Deberah Margo’s From Seeds to Soup installation will feature a fall harvest supper of soup made from the squash growing in her installations, which spring from seeds collected and do-

Other special events are planned for September, including weekend artists’ talks

early in the month and an artist-led gardening and community event in late September. More information can be found at artistsgardens.ca.

Since we all have a role to play in personal preparedness, it’s up to all of us to take steps now to prepare for the unexpected and make our communities safer and more resilient.

Here are some steps you can take this week to get started: • Know the risks. Although the consequences of emergencies can be similar, knowing the risks specific to your area can help you better prepare.

• Make a plan. Advance preparation will help you and your family know what to do.

Plan for a place to meet and where you would go if you had to evacuate.

Carp firefighters to heat up summer with corn boil R0012832676_0807

34 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 7, 2014

Community - The Ottawa fire department’s Carp station is gearing up for its annual family corn boil and barbecue.

The event will be held Thursday, Aug. 14 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. to enjoy an evening of fun and entertainment at Station 64.

The public is invited to join Carp firefighters and their families for the barbecue, an event that has become a tradition supported by local business and residents of West Carleton.

The Ottawa fire department is dedicated to enhancing the public’s personal safety

and well-being, protecting property and providing an essential service to the community.

A portion of this year’s profits and proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity Global Village in support of local firefighters building a house for a needy family in Paraguay.

The remaining profits and proceeds from this year’s event will be reinvested in the community at children’s functions such as the safe (and very scary Halloween haunted house) and to buy hundreds of candy canes

for the annual Christmas Parade.

Included in the fun Aug. 14 is music, good company, demonstrations and advice, including fire safety, smoke detector and fire extinguisher information and displays featuring specialized rescue units and fire vehicles.

The corn boil’s proud supporters this year will be Hudson’s sweet corn. The Swan at Carp will be providing hamburgers, pulled pork, hot dogs and cold drinks.

The event will be held the Carp Fire Station at 475 Donald B Munro Dr.

Museum marks 100th anniversary of First World War Nations entered ‘War to end all wars’ on Aug. 4, 1914 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The outbreak of the First World War100 years ago is being recognized around the globe by the many nations who fought and paid a heavy price in the ensuing four years.

The Canadian War Museum is adding to its existing exhibitions and programming marking the anniversary with

a new portrait wall, which will showcase rarely-seen sculptures of ordinary Canadians from the First World War. Named Ordinary People in Extraordinary Times, the exhibition features 12 sculptures of Canadians who participated in the war effort on the home front and overseas, sourced from the museum’s extensive Beaverbrook Collection of War Art. With names like Munitions Worker, The Shell Finisher, and The Furnace Girl, the nine bronze sculptures created by Florence Wyle and Frances Loring serve to recognize the tireless labour of women employed in danger-

ous munitions factories, while other works shed light on the farmers and blacksmiths who contributed in their own way.

“By depicting a wide range of people involved in the war effort, from female factory workers to front-line soldiers, these sculptures put a human face on war,” stated James Whitman, the museum’s director general. “One hundred years after the beginning of the First World War, these works of art still speak to the social impact of this cataclysmic conflict.”

Many of the artworks, which were commissioned to memorialize the work of Canadians during the conflict,

haven’t been exhibited publicly since the end of the war in 1918.

The exhibit also features portraits of Canadian sol-

diers both young and old who served overseas in the trenches and battlefields of Europe.

The war museum is commemorating the war in other

ways, as well, with physical and virtual exhibitions marking the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers during the grim conflict.

Tribute to cyclist raises her family’s spirits Dussault didn’t put the monument there, but the ghost bike, a type of tribute that mysteriously appears thanks to the quick work of strangers, has become an important place of solace and focus for his grieving.

“No matter which direction, I put my window down and I say, ‘Hi honey, I love you and I miss you every day,’” he said.

Driving by was how he first discovered the memorial.

“I thought it was a generous gesture from this anonymous ‘group,’ ghost bikes, to have done it,” Dussault said. “It kind of ... Not kind of, it does preserve the memory of Meg for a lot of people.”

It’s a place he goes to celebrate holidays like St. Patrick’s Day and Canada Day – lovingly tending to potted hibiscus, sweeping away dead leaves, repainting the bike, adding a new rosary. Seasonal decorations like a Winterlude Inuksuk drew a lot of attention, Dussault said.

“It’s a memorial not unlike a gravestone in a cemetery,

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - For Meg Dussault’s family and friends, the spot where she died while riding her bicycle is the apex of both their pain and their peace.

The corner of Bank Street and Riverside Drive, arguably the most well-tended patch of pavement around, has become a place of reflection since Dussault, 56, was killed when a cement truck collided with her while turning right at the intersection more than a year ago, on July 30.

It’s a spot her husband, Paddy Dussault, knows well. The couple’s home is only a couple minutes away, near Billing’s Estate, so he has to pass by the site of his wife’s death almost any time he wants to go somewhere. But instead of hiding away at home or finding a different route, Dussault finds himself drawn to the spot and to the improvised monument that pays respect to his late wife.

but there is something a little more joyous about this,” Dussault said.

He’s not alone. Meg Dussault’s three closest friends – pals from grade school who always stayed in touch – agree the bike has helped them find a way to face the tragedy head on and work to move past it.

“To me, standing here, I’m a little bit baffled why I can look at where she was killed and know how violent it was, yet it brings me peace,” said Kathy Riley.

“I can’t explain it, but we

all feel very peaceful when we come here.”

“It really is like an aura,” said another friend, Tina Belanger. “I feel like I’m close to Meg when I’m here.

“I don’t have a sense of tragedy when I’m here and I feel that’s really strange.”

Seemingly more so than other roadside memorials, the stark white bikes have an impact on passersby.

“They are really profound, quite visual and they get the point across,” said Rob Wilkinson, who runs the city’s road safety program.

He often finds himself mediating discussions about traffic tragedies and the memorials that follow them.

Ghost bikes are a gamble, Wilkinson said. They can serve a critical role in people’s mourning processes, but on the other hand, the surprise memorials could do more harm than good.

“We’re in a delicate balance because we have some people who want their relatives to be remembered and we have other people who don’t and in the middle is the community ghost bike thing,” he said.

No one group or person claims responsibility for the ghost bikes, which have become a phenomenon across North America and the rest of the world, Wilkinson said.

“The one thing I know is that it is exceptionally organic in nature,” he said.

He added that’s the same tact most people would like the city to take when it comes to addressing long-term plans for the ghost bike memorials, which currently number about four in Ottawa.

Quietly, the city has been discussing options for the future of Meg Dussault’s ghost bike, because it is situated on the sidewalk at a busy corner. Shifting the bike onto a nearby patch of grass is an option, but has yet to be discussed with the family and presents complications because the land is in the National Capital Commission’s jurisdiction.

Meg Dussault’s sister, Mary Buckley, said one of the interesting aspects of ghost bikes is the memorials aren’t usually removed unless it’s done by the family. While the roadside memorial to her sister might not have a permanent purpose at Bank and Riverside, it’s a needed gesture right now, she said.

The ghost bike has provided a way for strangers to communicate with the people who are close to Meg. So many people placed letters in the ghost bike’s basket and continue to do so, Riley said.

If it’s not a letter, it’s a trinket, like a rock engraved with the work “love,”

discovered on a recent visit.

One young woman who said she cycles by the memorial every day paused to speak with the group gathered at the bike on the anniversary of Meg’s death and upon learning they were the family and friends of the deceased, she broke down crying.

“I can’t explain it, but it makes me very emotional,” the woman said before biking off.

That purpose isn’t lost on Meg’s family, especially her husband.

“Not only is it a memorial to Meg’s memory, you hope that it causes people in both cars and bikes to pause and think about their safety (and) slowing down,” Dussault said.

“That’s just kind of the ancillary benefit to doing this.

“Clearly the people who put these ghost bikes here are doing it because they want to draw attention to the dangers of cycling and the need for responsible driving for both the cyclists, as well as the (motorists),” he said.

Cab driver transports gunshot victim to hospital Police asking strip-club shooting witnesses to come forward erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A quick-thinking taxi driver whose passenger had been shot by an assailant outside an Ottawa strip club over the weekend immediately transported the man to hospital.

The Ottawa police were called in by hospital staff on

Sunday, Aug. 3 to investigate Ottawa’s 24th shooting of 2014.

Guns and gangs officers are now working to piece together what happened in the lead-up to the violent altercation, which happened around 2:30 a.m.

Two men were leaving NuDen Gentlemen’s Night Club in a taxi cab when the taxi was fired

many questions remain unanswered, including the shooter’s identity and the type of weapon used.

“No weapon was recovered,” said Soucy, who could not confirm whether the victim was cooperating with police.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050.

Gloucester Fair continues on as Capital Fair News - Between 50,000 and 100,000 people are expected to help usher in a new era for the Gloucester Fair, now known as the Capital Fair.

The newly rebranded event is about more than simply a name change after 38 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has been expanded from four to 10 days, and has been moved to August from May, due to competing events and sometimes poor weather.

With good weather, the Gloucester event drew about 25,000 over the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough date to play,â&#x20AC;? said Harley Bloom, who has been with the volunteer fair board for the past 35 years.

This year, it takes place from Aug. 15 to 24.

Organizers are optimistic the sweeping changes will translate into success for the event, which is now being billed as a regional fair. Other changes include an expanded midway.

Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest Shows will be bringing 30 rides, more than double what was available at the Gloucester Fair.

The Capital Fair is not to be confused with the more than 100-year-old Central Canada Exhibition, which stopped operating about four years ago.

Lansdowne Park was its home for a number of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ex was the big show in Ottawa, no question,â&#x20AC;? said Bloom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, at this point theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to continue.â&#x20AC;?

Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest Shows was traditionally the Exâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midway operator every August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying the time slot to see how the public will accept it,â&#x20AC;? Bloom said.

In the lead up to the Capital Fair, organizers have scheduled a host of new features to draw in the crowds, including free admission to the fairgrounds at the Rideau Carleton Entertain-

ment Centre, courtesy of VLN Technologies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So that helps a family come to the fair and makes it very affordable,â&#x20AC;? Bloom said, adding they hope to offer that feature for years to come.

A number of agricultural elements will be included this year, though the fair board is looking to expand that component in coming years.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already working on next year,â&#x20AC;? said Bloom, adding they hope to include 4-H youth exhibitors, as well as contests featuring horses, cattle, sheep and dogs.

In the meantime, fair-goers will soon enjoy the expanded Western Horse Show, complete with barrel racing. The Papanack Zoo will show exotic animals, a blacksmith is return-

ing after a brief hiatus, and other acts will include a petting zoo, birds of prey and a reptile rainforest.

A pet show has been added, and will include agility training and a dog-stunt show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a bit of fun for the kids to watch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dogs walking tightropes and driving cars,â&#x20AC;?

Bloom said with a chuckle.

Monster Truck shows have been included for a sixth year, which typically have drawn about 5,000 fans.

Zombie-wannabes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be left out of the fun. Fair patrons who arrive on Aug. 19 dressed as the walking dead and with a non-perishable food item can purchase a ride bracelet at a discounted price. Donated foods go to the Ottawa Food Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a theatrical set in place so the zombies can take selfies,â&#x20AC;? Bloom said.

Tasty treats will be another attractive feature, particularly during the Southern Comfort Smoked to the Bone Barbecue Championship on Aug. 23 and

24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa is probably the hot bed of southern barbecue in Canada. We have more amateur teams here and more professionals now that have actually graduated (from amateur status) than anywhere else,â&#x20AC;? said Bloom, president of the Canadian Southern BBQ Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This competition has really made the difference.â&#x20AC;?

During the first day of competition, Canadian professional teams will vie for $10,000 in prize money, while amateur backyard barbecue enthusiasts will compete for a smoker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you like old-style southern smoked food, like ribs and chicken, and brisket, pulled pork, this is the place to be,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that fair-goers can sample each entry for $1 and vote for their favourites.

The fair will also feature an eclectic array of local musical talent, arm wrestling competitions, and new this year, there will be horse racing on Aug. 22.

The day before the fair opens

to the general public, Hydro Ottawa will once again sponsor a free day at the event for more than 1,000 developmentally delayed and physically disabled children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rides go a little slower; we have a hot dog and ice cream lunch for them,â&#x20AC;? Bloom said, adding that there will also be live musical entertainment, a petting zoo and a clown to round out the special day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is probably one of the best days of the year for the kids,â&#x20AC;? he said.

For a complete fair schedule, visit capitalfair.ca. The Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre is located at 4837 Albion Rd. GETTING THERE

Organizers are currently working on providing a shuttle bus to the fair for those who rely on public transit.

Parking will be available at the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre for a suggested $5 donation to a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity.

Reverse food truck taking donations in west end Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - The Hintonburger is well-known as a place to buy indulgent food, but lately the popular establishment has been accepting donations of the very ingredients it uses in its meals.

In July, the Hintonburg restaurant teamed up with the Parkdale Food Centre to put an idea new to Ottawa into practice – a reverse food truck.

Donated items of fresh fruits and vegetables – as well as dairy products and toiletries – are being collected on select dates at the Hintonburger and driven to the homes of clients who use the food centre.

The pilot project only runs until Aug. 9, but saw great interest generated during its short run.

“It’s something that caught the imagination of the whole community,” said Karen Secord, operations manager at the food centre. “The idea was sent to us via social media, on Facebook – the individual told us there was one in Minneapolis.”

Secord, along with the staff and volunteers at the Parkdale Food Centre, regularly try new initiatives to raise awareness and funds for the clients they serve. When the reverse food truck idea was mentioned, they jumped on it, despite it having never been tried before in Ottawa. The aim was to collect items that are highly sought out by the food centre and their clients.

“For us that meant bringing fresh fruit, vegetables – people donating from their gardens – as well as toiletries, which we don’t purchase,” said Secord. “People are coming in like crazy, with some donating from their gardens – things like Swiss chard, raspberries, onion. Others went to Giant Tiger to purchase toilet paper and shampoo.”

Secord said the Hintonburger has been a partner of theirs for a while, helping out with community events and fundraising, and that it was their food truck – previously used to sell meals to patrons at Bluesfest – that is being used for the initiative.

The Hintonburger is also donating

ottawa

10 per cent of its Monday sales to the food centre.

Calling it a “social experiment,” Secord said ideas like this create situations where discussions can be held about food, and the needs of their clients.

“It stimulates conversation – why are people in need of food?” she said.

“It’s also an opportunity to explain that we’re moving locations, where our new space is, and what services we can offer.”

Later this fall, the food centre will set up shop in the Somerset West Community Health Centre-owned medical building on Rosemount Avenue, offering them more space for programming and new initiatives.

While the reverse food truck initiative is only three weeks long, by Aug. 9 the food centre should be able to announce what their next experiment will be, said Secord, adding that it will likely be a “pop-up” initiative in the community.

Comment period open for Vimy Bridge suggestion Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The commemorative naming process is officially underway to decide whether or not the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge should be renamed Vimy Bridge.

The Manotick and Barrhaven legion branches suggested the name to the city in July, in an effort to memorialize the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I. “Because it spans the Rideau Canal, a National Historic Site of Canada, a Canadian Heritage River and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and because it connects two entrances to the nation’s capital, this structure is more than a small local bridge connecting two communities,” reads the proposal on the city’s website. “The amount of traffic going by and over this bridge on a daily basis, both local and tourist, would mean that a lot of people would be reminded of Vimy (Ridge) and the sacrifices made by Canadian troops.”

The $48 million bridge opened over the Rideau River on July 12, finally connecting the Riverside South and Barrhaven communities after several years of delays.

Reaction to the proposed name has varied, with some residents arguing Vimy Bridge sounds too much like Vimy Ridge.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun.

Steve Desroches said that problem can likely be solved through the commemorative naming process this summer.

“I think that’s something we can look at, whether it’s the Vimy Memorial Bridge or Vimy Centennial Bridge,” he said. “I think there’s room for some tweaking.”

Comments on social media show some residents are concerned that military-related events have already been adequately honoured across the city.

“Although I respect the context

The idea, put forward by the Manotick and Barrhaven legion branches, to rename the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge Vimy Bridge is attracting comments and alternative naming suggestions. of this name, I feel there are already many commemorative sites named after war or military events,” wrote Manotick resident Serge Lamothe in a letter to the editor. “One honor I feel is missing in our country is reflections to Canada’s First Peoples.

Native Indians have historically suffered significantly at the hands of European colonies ... Naming the bridge with a First Peoples theme would go a long way to remind our children we did not always exist in this great county, and that we must

respect and honor the First Peoples who had to adapt (and sometimes perish) to get to the society we enjoy today.”

Desroches rejected the notion of the city’s over-supply of war commemorations.

“From my perspective, I don’t think we can do too much to honour the sacrifice of our veterans,” he said.

He also rejected suggestions that a Vimy Ridge memorial belongs downtown.

“I find that rather patronizing of communities like Riverside South and Barrhaven. The message is we’re not part of the capital,” he said. “This is a major piece of infrastructure and it deserves a name that is fitting with its status.”

According to the city, a commemorative name “honours individuals who have demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario and/or Canada; provided extensive community ser-

vice; worked to foster equality and reduce discrimination; made a significant financial contribution to a park or facility, and the contribution significantly benefits the community that the park or facility serves or who has historical significant to the community, City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario and/or Canada.”

Comments about the Vimy Bridge proposal will be accepted until Aug 27. They can be sent to Diane Blais at namingottawa@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 ext. 28091.

James White will bring his Paradox Tour to the Shenkman Arts Centre on Aug. 16.

Mentalist to perform in Orléans Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Fresh from his show Mind Games, which aired on Rogers Cable last fall, mentalist Jaymes White brings his new Paradox Tour to the Shenkman Arts Centre on Aug. 16.

His last show at Centrepointe Theatre sold out.

White, a Nepean native and Carleton University grad, has been working on Paradox for the last year.

He did a test show last summer, with an audience of 150.

“It’s a really audience driven show,” he said.

“It’s like they’re on a group mission to solve a problem.”

For his work, White draws from his psychology degree. He also uses his acting chops for showmanship and calculates odds using statistics and demographic information. White has been fascinated with magic since the age of six.

He started doing street performances at 12 and moved on to stage shows in his late teens and early 20s.

“When I was testing it out, I found that

when I believed in what I was doing it always worked,” White said. “You have to go with your gut.”

He felt so strongly about the tour that he started a Kickstarter campaign in February with a goal of $8,500, but managed to collect close to $10,000.

“We (the Jaymes White Entertainment Team) are so thankful and humbled by the support we have received. It’s very motivating and exciting to know there is interest in what I do,” White said. “My team and I are ready to bring it to a larger audience.”

Paradox will run on Aug. 16 at the Richcraft Theatre at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

White promises to blow the audience members’ minds.

“I guarantee you’ve never been to a show like it,” he said.

Audience members are chosen to come on stage by White’s sidekick voodoo doll, Freddy.

“I connect with them but they tell the story.

They are the show,” White said.

Tickets for the show are $33.75 and are available at shenkmanarts.ca.

CAT OF THE WEEK WE ARE THE “BIRDIE CLAN”

Help them Today.

Change their Tomorrow!

As soon as a neighbour noticed that three children between the ages of five and ten were home alone until late at night, he called the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. Elissa’s mother was not abusive, she simply did not have the resources or funds to ensure her children were properly supervised throughout the day. The Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa supported the family financially; the younger children were able to attend day camp, while Elissa had the opportunity to join a dance camp. As a result, Elissa has since flourished into a dynamic young lady full of energy and dreams for the future. With the help and support of the Foundation, all three children developed new skills, were able to interact with people their own age and made lasting friendships all while being kept safe and secure.

WELCOME DR. MOHAMED HIKAL

Dr. Mohamed Hikal NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

News - Any pet with fur is likely to be just as needy as it is loveable—and that’s a good thing. Attentive grooming, in particular the control of shedding, will keep both your pet and your household in the peak of health. When hair of any kind, for example, gets tightly wrapped around carpet fibres, it can be a nightmare to remove, so here are a few solutions for your pet – and for a cleaner home: • Groom your animals outdoors whenever possible. Brushing frequency for hair control will depend on the breed (type of fur) and your family requirements, like allergies.

• Bathe your dog as recommended with quality shampoo and conditioners. The frequency depends on the dog’s activities outdoors and indoors, especially if it sleeps with you, or sits on your furniture.

• Feed your pet with nutrition first in mind.

• Check the coat for irregularities like fleas, hair clumping, and skin conditions. Consult an expert to keep your little one’s skin and fur in the best of health.

“Humans as well, shed at least one hundred hairs and one million skin cells every day, so imagine the particles on our rugs, fixtures and furniture if we also have pets,” says Andrew Santoni at appliance innovator, Electrolux. “Tightly snarled hair deep in the carpets is far from hygienic, difficult to remove, and is so frustrating when it becomes tangled around a vacuum’s brushroll.”

At only ten years old, Elissa has already faced a number of challenges in her life.

She is being raised by a single mother who has to work two jobs in order to support her three children. Because her mother could not afford to send her children to daycare or summer camps, Elissa became the caregiver of her two younger siblings. When school was out for the summer, she spent her days at home tending to her brother and sister.

Our Mommy was rescued while she was in the “family way” and for some reason not much milk to support us... and we were almost hand raised to become lovely little gents and ladies.

Now we are 8 weeks old and it is high time to meet our future adoptive families... Mommy was named FEATHER and we are FALCON, HAWK, MERLIN, SPARROW and ROBIN... aren’t we adorable? We need you but you need our love too... we are one phone call away!!! to share our life with you

Defence lawyer plans to review case documentation with client

Sizzling Summer

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A Crown counsellor has been assigned to prosecute the 18-year-old Ottawa man accused of killing a popular St. Patrick’s High School student weeks before his graduation.

Assistant Crown attorney Michael Boyce is taking on the second-degree murder case against Devontay Hackett, a St. Pius X High School student, who police allege fatally stabbed Brandon Volpi, also 18, in downtown Ottawa on June 7.

Hackett’s defence lawyer, Joseph Addelman, a founding partner of Ottawa-based Addelman, Baum, Gilbert law firm, told an Ottawa court on July 31 that while he has received information on the investigation from Ottawa police, he is awaiting additional details.

During his third court appearance, Hackett quietly looked on via video conferencing from the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, where he has been held since his first appearance in court on July 12.

His attorney informed the court he planned to review case evidence with his client at the jail on Aug. 11 and 12.

“I’m waiting for disclosure,” Addelman said, adding that he expected to receive a “significant” amount of

‘I’m doing this for my patients’

BROKEN NUT ROLL Oh Henry!

By Tracey Tong

As a medical oncologist with the regional cancer program and medical lead with the breast disease site at The Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Segal is very familiar with what her patients go through. But what makes her patients relate to her as a doctor – and as a person – is her personal passion for the cancer cause.

This year marks the fifth that Dr. Segal will be volunteering as a Ride Guide for Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontario’s largest single day fundraiser for cancer research. Part of her area of research includes exercise and survivorship, but that’s not why chooses to go above and beyond her work at the Hospital.

“I’m doing this for my patients,” said Dr. Segal, who added that learning about her participation in the event helps her patients become more comfortable with her.

of the event is to raise funds for cancer research. I’ll do as much as I can for the cause.”

For the doctor, the best part about Ride the Rideau is spotting her patients along the route.

CRYSTALLIZED GINGER SLICES

“Even though they usually recognize me before I recognize them, I get an incredibly warm feeling when I see patients riding,” she said. “And cycling is a great activity that’s open to everyone – you don’t need a special skill set to ride and you can ride a little or a lot.

Suspect speaks briefly to court Continued from page 59

Hackett, who again wore a short-sleeved, orange inmate’s uniform, kept his hands behind his back as his lawyer and court officials scheduled his next court proceeding for Aug. 14, when he will again appear by video.

“Alright, thanks Mr. Addelman,” the lanky teen said, before briefly waving and walking off camera. “Thanks.

Bye.” Unlike at previous court sessions, no members of ei-

ther Volpi’s or Hackett’s families were in attendance this time.

WARRANT

A Canada-wide warrant for Hackett’s arrest was issued on June 10, just days after Volpi suffered fatal stab wounds, around 3:30 a.m. on June 7.

Two large groups of people were said to be at the scene of the stabbing outside Les Suites Hotel at the corner of Besserer and Dalhousie streets.

Earlier in the evening,

Volpi, a Grade 12 student who was just weeks away from graduating, had walked a friend back to the hotel.

Students from at least two schools – St. Patrick’s and St. Pius X – had planned to stay at the hotel that night following prom-night celebrations, according to investigators.

After more than a month on the run, Hackett was arrested in Toronto on July 11 by police, brought back to Ottawa and charged with second-degree murder. He is the prime suspect in the case.

SENIORS

Neighbour helped neighbour get work done

T

he whole house had been wakened at dawn. Sleeping in that day was not in the plans.

Breakfast was not the usual, take-your-time meal it generally was. There was work to be done -- chores to get out of the way, once they had been milked, the cattle moved out of the barnyard and into the field near the creek.

In the house, Mother was already rubbing salt and pepper on the biggest roast of pork in the smoke house, and the Findlay Oval was coming to life. Even Aunty was pressed into service, and was busily peeling potatoes on the end of the table.

Aunty wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really an aunt at all. Father said he had no idea who she was, Mother didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know her from a hill of beans, but she came every year to help. In the winter it

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories was to mend socks and knit mittens, in the spring it was sap time, and this time of year, she was there to help get ready to feed anywhere from 15 to 20 men.

Every hand was needed, because today was threshing time, or as we called it back then: thrashing day.

I could see the thrashing machine coming in our long lane, and already farm neighbours from all along the Northcote Road were milling about the barnyard.

The barnyard was full of stoked grain, and neighboursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wagons would be making

trips back to the fields to bring in more to be fed into the thrashing machine. It was already roaring like a train engine, and I could see graindust flying through the air.

Father said at breakfast that the weather had co-operated. There would be no rain that day. The sun was already beating down on the men, and soon my sister Audrey would take out a pail of fresh well water, with shards of chipped ice from the icehouse. The men would all drink from the same tin cup.

I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to go into the barnyard that day. I would

just get in the way, Mother had said. I would love to have been closer to the action, but I had to content myself by sitting on a kitchen chair and looking out the window at the hive of activity going on outside.

There didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be much talking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there was too much to be done. There were Briscoes and Kallieses, and Thoms, and Beams. I could recognize their faces under their wide-brimmed straw hats. All neighbours, who one day would have the favour returned when their grain would be thrashed by the same farmers who were right there in our barn yard.

When the break came for their dinner, they wandered over to the kitchen door. Two long benches had been put outside and basins of water with bars of homemade soap were beside them. Huck towels were folded and would

soon be as black as a boot.

The men dropped their straw hats on the ground, splashed their faces, rubbed on the soap, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother to rinse anything off, and swiped at the dripping water with the towels.

They headed into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table, which spilled over onto two planks that had been put on top of two sawhorses and covered with white flour bag sheets. It would serve as a second table.

The kitchen was cooler than the summer kitchen, which held the Findlay Oval, but it soon warmed up with all the bodies inside. Some took red dotted handkerchiefs out of their overalls and wiped their sweating faces.

It took Mother, Aunty and my sister Audrey all their time to keep the bowls of potatoes, beans, and turnips refilled. The big platters of

roast pork vanished as if someone had cleaned them off with a dishcloth!

Pies had already been cut, and were stacked on the bake table. There was no such thing as a clean plate for their pie, it was simply chucked off the pie plate and right onto the plate that had just held their dinner. Almost everyone had a second piece, and even the last slice of bread had vanished.

I listened to the talk around the two tables. It was all about the weather holding off, and what a stroke of luck that was, and how it was a blessing that everyone had good crops that year. They also talked about who would be the next to host the thrashing gang.

The whole meal was over in jig time, and then they went back to the job at hand.

Thrashing brings neighbours together Continued from page 62

Father said they would stay until all the grain had been thrashed, so that the thrashing machine would not have to make a second trip to our farm.

And late in the afternoon, I heard the last of the big machine wind down. One by one the neighbours left, driving their wagons, or buggies, and the more prosperous of the lot, riding off in cars.

By that time, Mother,

Aunty and Audrey would have the kitchen back in order. The planks that served as a second table were outside propped against the wall.

The washbasins emptied, and the pile of huck towels piled in a corner of the summer kitchen waiting for the weekly wash.

Emerson, Everett and Earl were sent to the backfield to bring in the cows for the nightly milking, and gradually, our farm turned back to normal.

Thrashing for that year was over. Once again, it was neighbour helping neighbour. The Depression had nothing to do with it.

Even if there was wealth all around us, everyone would still need the hand of a neighbour to survive.

Silver Spring Farm, operated entirely by volunteers, is located 2 km. from Bayshore Shopping Centre, west of the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

News - Thanks to some community-minded individuals in New Edinburgh, the 12th annual Lumière Festival will go ahead as planned this year.

Festival organizer Anthony King said planning for the Lumière Festival s Aug. 16 Evening of Light Celebration hit a rough patch earlier this year when funding the New Edinburgh Community Arts Centre relies on to run the annual event remained unconfirmed and long-time volunteers were unavailable to help out.

King said it wasn’t until a few community members offered to help out that organizing could move forward.

“We had a bit of a scramble to get things started,” King said. “Funding wasn’t confirmed and we were missing volunteers. We thought we could do this, but we wanted

to make sure we could do the festival properly. Then we had a couple of energetic volunteers who stepped up to make sure it could happen.”

King said the last-minute addition of volunteers will keep the dynamic, fun-filled atmosphere of the event intact.

“There will be a focus on the community and we want the community to come and participate – that is what makes the festival,” he said.

King added the festival is always looking for volunteers and encourages anyone interested to contact the centre at info@nectarcentre.ca.

The celebrations begin with a parade at 5 p.m. from Crichton Street and the St. Patrick Street Bridge. The parade will wind its way along the Rideau River to Stanley Park.

Everyone is encouraged to dress up in costume for the celebrations, King said. Dragons, fairies, knights, wizards are all welcome.

The event will include a Company of Fools performance of As You Like It. Music and a lantern maze will be set up in the park’s baseball diamond and fire dancers will illuminate the

river.

Food and beverages will be for sale and the Stanley Park field house will be open as the main location for the festival.

The light parade will begin at 9:30 p.m.

Leading up to the festival, community members looking to participate in the Aug. 16 event can make a lantern at one of the centre’s lantern workshops which began Aug. 1. A full list of the workshop dates is available on the New Edinburgh Community Arts Centre’s Facebook page.

One change this year will be the lantern lights.

After the fire department expressed concerns about the festival using tea lights in the paper lanterns, citing a number of close calls last year, the festival has been asked to use other forms of illumination. For all lanterns participating in the festival, battery operated as well as glow sticks will be provided by the centre.

“The fire department has asked that community lanterns cannot have flames,” King said.

his volunteer advocate, who moved out of province about two years ago.

They still chat on the phone.

But since then, McEvoy has been waiting to meet a new advocate, someone closer to home who is interested in catching a movie, grabbing a bite to eat and taking in live sports, such as a football or hockey game.

“It gets a little lonesome sitting at home all day,” said McEvoy, who actually doesn’t do much sitting, filling his days going up to the family cottage, watching the RedBlacks’ home games, or playing horseshoes in a local league. He also curls in the winter, and has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since 1970.

He’s hoping to meet someone who may want to go to Catholic mass, or play card games, such as cribbage or euchre, as well as speak and joke around in both English and French.

And he wants his volunteer to understand that his epilepsy doesn’t impede him from getting out and about.

As a baby, he had meningitis, and his epilepsy developed soon after. To this day, he has mild seizures, but with little after effects.

“I don’t even realize when I have them,” he said. “I still do things with people. I’m still sociable.”

Volunteers must be at least 18

years old, and provide references and criminal record and vulnerable sector checks, as well as participate in an information session and meet with

a Citizen Advocacy social worker prior to being matched.

“It’s a big ask. I’m asking for 12 months,” Redpath acknowledged.

“I’m asking you to come into an intentional relationship with somebody, and I think for some people it’s a bit of a fear of the unknown.”

For those who have never interacted with someone who has a disability, they don’t need to have experience to become a champion “because being somebody’s friend doesn’t require any real skills or experience,” she explained. “It’s just a willingness to get together.”

To volunteer, please contact Maria Redpath, by calling 613-761-9522, ext. 222, or emailing mredpath@citizenadvocacy.org.

News – Chris McEvoy takes his tea with a splash of milk, but he also enjoys a hot cup of java.

So, how does he like his coffee?

“Crisp,” he quips.

The 62-year-old South Keys resident would like to share his taste for caffeinated brews, as well as his quick wit, with a friend. For that reason, he is waiting to be paired with a volunteer advocate through Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa’s Everyday Champions Program.

He is one of about 300 people currently hoping for a match through the charitable organization’s program through which volunteers are paired with people with physical, developmental or mental disabilities.

“Some of the people we match have nobody else in their life but people who are paid to be in their life,” said Maria Redpath, who oversees the program as Citizen Advocacy’s community engagement co-ordinator.

About 250 people currently have a partner, but the need is still great.

The average wait time is three years, though it’s been known to take as long as a decade.

“These people come to us because they would like to fully participate in their community, and what that means is they get a friend,” she said, adding that matches are needed from Orléans to Richmond.

Volunteers are required to commit a year of their time, spending once a week with their protégés, as they are called, for a couple of hours.

“Maybe it’s just as simple as going for a cup of coffee, or we might match people who have a big interest in hockey and they’ll go and watch hockey games together,” Redpath said.

Matches are made based on location, interests and similar personalities, among other factors.

The average connection lasts about four and a half years because of the true friendships that develop, said Redpath. One friendship has been going strong for 30 years.

The goal this year is to recruit 40 new champion volunteers to mark the charitable organization’s 40th anniversary.

McEvoy is evidence of the program’s success.

Over the course of about 10 years, the retiree became good friends with

Share the Puck introduces children to hockey New program introduces the game to low-income families in Ottawa Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Children from the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre took to the ice on July 30 to learn how to skate at the Minto Skating Centre. The children participated in the Share the Puck program, which helps introduce the game of hockey to young individuals who don’t normally have the opportunity or the means to play.

The Kanata Kourier-Standard published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

wabsiteelogwos paper we onetwsta MUNITY n

News - Instead of playing in the sun, a group of children from the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre donned helmets, gloves, skates and jerseys to play a little hockey this summer.

On July 30, the children were bused from their Vanier location to the Minto Skating Centre for a rare opportunity to learn how to play hockey.

Everything provided during the day -- busing, equipment and lessons -- were thanks to Share the Puck, an organization that aims to give children who otherwise do not have the opportunity to play hockey, the chance get involved in the game.

The organization was created by Nepean native John Ollson who said a lot has changed since he first laced up his skates as a kid, learning the game of hockey on a homemade skating rink. He said the average cost for a five year-old to sign up for hockey is $500 and that cost, he added, can go up from there, depending on skill level.

“The game of hockey has become too much about money,” Ollson said. “It makes sense if you are 15 years-old and you are playing in AAA, but to get to that level, you need to start somewhere.”

And that’s why Ollson said he partnered with other fellow hockey friends, including the Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association,

to create the Share the Puck organization with one main objective -- to remove the financial barrier and encourage participation in the game of hockey for children seven to 12 years-old in the capital region. The organization recently received an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant which has helped the charity grow.

So far this summer, the organization hosted six sessions for children across the city.

By mid-August, the program will have seen 450 students skating on Minto Skating Centre’s ice -- already meeting the programs initial goals, but Ollson said that with the Trillium grant and what he is willing to fund or raise through sponsorships, he plans on doubling that number by the end of the year.

And ultimately, the he said he hopes initiatives like his take off across Canada, with individual communities running such programs.

The most important thing, Ollson added is that all the money raised or donated goes directly into the program.

What can’t be raised in actual money, Ollson said has been given in kind. The Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association will be donating volunteers, ice time and equipment.

As a former professional hockey player who also played for the Ottawa 67’s, Ollson said he just wants to let others learn and enjoy the same game he loves.

“I want to introduce kids to the game of hockey who do not have the resources to participate,” he said.

Back on the ice, the children slide, fall and sometimes stopped themselves by crashing into the net or the boards. Once the program was up and running and Ollson was witnessing the first group of children making their way from the change rooms to the ice, he said the feeling was overwhelming.

“It’s hilarious, it’s comical, it’s fun and you can see all the kids have a lot of energy,” Ollson said. “But seeing how happy the kids out there are amazing.”

News - Ottawa Community Housing is investing $5.2 million for new technology to help it keep up with a growing portfolio of affordable housing units.

One of the key pieces modernizes the way the city’s largest social housing provider deals with a long list of maintenance requests, which numbered 91,000 last year alone.

Ottawa Community Housing had always sent out those work orders for everything from leaky faucets to broken elevators via fax, a labour intensive process that takes too long now that OCH has 15,000 units and 32,000 tenants.

Now, OCH’s 105 maintenance workers get those requests instantly to handheld devices, meaning they can make better use of their time, said the organization’s new chief executive office, Stéphane Giguère.

“Instead of going back to the office, now, you can stay on the road and you can continue your work,” he said. “You have less people that have to intervene, so the response times are faster.”

The changes aren’t

noticeable yet, said Kat Fortin, an OCH resident and board member of the tenant advocacy group ACORN. But she looks forward to the improvement, since maintenance requests could take a long time in the past, depending on how high of a priority the work was.

Understanding the type of maintenance that needs to be done and how to prioritize it is another benefit of the new technology, which is provided by Northgate, Giguère said.

The $1.8 million system will finally enable OCH to track data on maintenance work and use that information for quality and performance management. The remainder of the technology spending is focused on new, integrated email and financial software.

“It’s really important that we look at each and every means that we can increase efficiency in our operations,” Giguère said.

In the future, the system will also allow residents to submit maintenance requests and manage their accounts through an online portal.

That capability will happen in the next year to 18 months, Giguère said.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

GIFTING TO CHARITY IS NOT JUST FOR THE WEALTHY. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it.

by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, jhoule@sicotte.ca (613)-837-7408, ext. 260

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

a legacy gift in your Will is a great way “ Leaving to give back to the community without having to compromise your time. ”

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insignificant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.
