ple are asking a lot about. The equipment is just sitting there,” he said. “The original contractor defaulted on its contractual obligations and abandoned the project.” The councillor added he was disappointed the work was stalled. The city is currently nego-
tiating with a bond company, which guarantees that the work gets done, and is working to bring in a new construction crew. “That’s what’s been going on for the last two months – a negotiation between the city and the bond company,” said Hubley. “We expect to have a new company in there in Au-
gust to finish the work.” Signs along the construction site say H. Ken Brown Excavating. The company confirmed it is no longer working on that contract but a request to speak with the owner was not returned.

Retaining wall construction delay stalls flood fixes Continued from page 1
Hubley said less than half of the work was completed before the company had to walk away from the project. “Once the new contractor is on board, we will be able to provide timelines for mobilization and a target completion date,” said Hubley. DESTABILIZE
The original rock wall, built around eight years ago, began to deteriorate as water from the creek eroded the structure. “There were problems with the (original) work that was done,” said Hubley about the rock wall. “It wasn’t as solid as we need it to be. Water was getting in behind the rocks which would only destabilize them over time.” Hubley said he wants the new wall, which is to be constructed out of man-made material, to be finished before children head back to school
in September. The park backs on to John Young Elementary and St. Martin De Porres schools. With equipment left in the park and an unstable rock wall, fencing has been erected around the work site and security is monitoring the area daily. “I worried over the summer that kids might get in there or get hurt. It’s being monitored and thankfully things have been good so far,” he said. The delay fixing the retaining wall has stalled a second project to install a berm along the backs of the houses on McElroy Drive. The berm is part of flood remediation work in the area to keep water out of residents’ backyards. “Right now the water runs into the backyards in heavy rain,” said Hubley. The berm will keep water on the parklands, creating a bowl for the rain to drain out of, said Hubley. Although both projects have been significantly delayed, he said he’s optimistic they will be completed this year.

Police investigate suspicious men at Kanata, south Ottawa pools Man photographed children and asked them to follow him to bushes near Katimavik Pool Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - Suspicious males have been spotted at two outdoor pools, one of them in Katimavik. Ottawa police are investigating two separate incidents involving men photographing and approaching young children at pools in Kanata and south Ottawa. A suspicious male approached several children under the age of 12 at the Katimavik Pool, located at 64 Chimo Dr., on July 31 around 2 p.m., said police. “The man asked them to follow him into
nearby bushes. He was seen taking pictures of the children prior to approaching them,” said police in a news release. “Pool staff members were alerted of the incident and attempted to identify the male who fled the scene on foot.” He jogged in the direction of Katimavik Road near the Kanata Town Centre, said police. The man is described as being approximately 50 years old and of East Indian descent, around five-foot six- or seven-inches tall, with a small build. He was wearing a white baseball hat, a greycoloured jacket and grey pants, with white running shoes and prescription-type glasses, said police.
Dr. in south Ottawa, on July 26 around 2 p.m. “A pool staff member attempted to approach the male, who left the area on foot walking towards Elmvale Mall,” said police. The man is described as approximately 60 years old and of Asian descent, five-foot sixinches tall, of medium build with dark hair. He was wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat, said police.
“It is unknown at this time if it is the same male involved in both incidents,” said police. In both cases, pool staff members contacted police. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa police sexual assault/child abuse section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 613-2338477, or toll free at 1-800-222-8477.

Kanata native launches birth registration system in Tanzania
Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - A former Earl of March Secondary School graduate is helping others take control of their lives through his volunteer work in Tanzania. Christopher Braeuel, who grew up in Beaverbrook, helped launch a new birth registration and certification system in the rural community of Mbeya for children under the age of five. “Only eight per cent of (children) under five were registered,” said Braeuel, who was home for two weeks this summer before heading back into the field. On the first day of registration, more than 1,000 parents signed their children up for birth certificates. Within five days, that number had skyrocketed to 12,000, said Braeuel. “It’s been an honour to be able to serve in this role,” he said. “It’s a very important initiative.” Braeuel is working with Tanzanian authorities at the Registration Insolvency and Trusteeship Agency and UNICEF, along with local communities to make registering the birth of a child easier in remote areas. IN THE FIELD
No stranger to working overseas, Braeuel spent 2010 in Afghanistan managing the development and support of children’s education with the federal government’s Canadian International Development Agency. Last month, he was awarded the Queen’s Operational Service Medal. “The very pursuit of justice, equality of opportunity and hope for those who need and deserve it the most: the children and youth, is not a matter of choice but of basic duty,” he said. “If striving to give them a fighting chance at the best possible foundation in life is not a worthwhile pursuit, then there is no point in me taking another breath.” After his time in Afghanistan, Braeuel said he wanted to work in more of a hands-on role. He left his position with CIDA to volunteer his time with Cuso International, a Canadian-based non-governmental organization that supports development projects around the world. “I really wanted to get back into the field,” said the 44 year old. “Cuso is about sending trained people, not aid money.” He said birth certificates are taken for granted in North America because registration is so accessible. “You think about it when you lose it,” he said, adding rural areas
in developing countries don’t have it so easy. Before now, parents had to undertake a two-step process to register their children, often far away from where they lived. Without a birth certificate, children may be denied access to education, their inheritance, the ability to work and apply for a passport or drivers licence, said Braeuel. “Being unregistered as children directly impacts their rights as adults,” he said. “Their legal rights are neither protected nor recognized.” The new system is based closer to rural areas, making the process more accessible. Parents fill out a birth registration sheet by hand, after which they immediately get a copy of the certificate. Then a trained community member uploads the information into a central database through a cellphone. “It’s very uplifting for them to see this initiative take off,” said Braeuel, who is planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and is learning to speak Kiswahili. He already speaks fluent English, French, German and Spanish. “Any initiative that supports child or youth development is the best opportunity.” After Mbeya, Braeuel and his colleagues will help train people in four more regions in Tanzania to use the system over the next two years. The hope is to expand the process to all regions. “It’s a right and no one should be denied that right,” said Braeuel.

Kunstadt celebrates 20 years in Kanata Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Community - Kunstadt Sports celebrated its 20th birthday with a twoday party on Aug. 1 and 2. The first sporting goods store in Kanata hosted a one-hour bike ride on Aug. 1 with more than 30 people taking a leisurely 20-kilometre trip around town. On Friday, the store hosted a barbecue with live entertainment by local band Silver Creek. People browsed through three photo albums with pictures from the store during its first years. The Kunstadts, which includes store president Eric Kunstadt, his brother and vice-president Ron, sister Monica, father Peter and mother Susan, received the keys to the store on July 1, 1993. They had one month to ready the location for its grand opening, and on Aug. 1 they tossed open the doors. “I was 22 when we opened,” said
Ron. “When you look back, it doesn’t seem like that long ago.” Since the grand opening, the store has steadily expanded, from its original 139 square metres to its current 743 square metres. In 1997, the Kunstadts bought the building and the land from the landlord. In the beginning, Ron said he and his family worked seven days a week, often 70 to 80 hours a day. “We were doing everything, from answering the phones to sweeping the floor,” said Ron. Now, they have a number of staff members, and thanks to the success of the business, have opened two other locations – one in south Ottawa and one in the Glebe. And even though they’ve been located on Hazeldean Road for 20 years, they are constantly meeting new people through their business. BLAIR EDWARDS/METROLAND “The amazing thing about Kanata Shawn Tavenier (singer) and Nick Gauthier (lead guitar) perform a cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’, is there’s new faces all the time,” said during a celebration of Kunstadt Sports’ 20th anniversary on Aug. 2. Tavenier said he’s been a long time Ron. friend of the Kunstadt family, which opened Kanata’s first sporting goods store in 1993.

Last year, Daniel Garza took the men’s title, while Petra Januskova took top honours in the ladies division. “It’s become a big tradition in Ottawa for sure,” said Kunstadt. “It’s just a really great event, an idea we had 17 years ago and we’re still doing it.” The quarter-finals take place on Saturday, Aug. 10, at 6 p.m., followed by a party with a barbecue and live music. “That’s really the most fun of the whole weekend,” said Kunstadt. The finals, which will be broadcast by Rogers Television, will take place on Sunday, Aug. 11.

Let the election spin begin
A
s soon as the polls closed on Aug. 1, the pundits were hard at work trying to generate the best spin possible for their parties. Interpreting the results all depends how you look at them. The New Democratic Party picked up two seats, with Peggy Sattler taking London West and Percy Hatfield winning in Windsor-Tecumseh. NDP leader Andrea Horwath said the results were a call for change, with voters expressing their displeasure with a government plagued by scandals over the past year. In a race that was deemed too close to call until late into the night, Conservative Doug Holyday, the former deputy mayor of Toronto, was declared the winner in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, creating a blue fissure in the Liberals’ Fortress Toronto. Even though they only took one seat, Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak pointed out that all five ridings in the 2013 byelection were seats held by former Liberal cabinet ministers. Meanwhile, the Liberals managed to take two seats, with Mitzie Hunter keeping the Toronto-area riding of Scarborough Guildwood and perhaps most importantly, John Fraser holding onto Ottawa
South, former premier Dalton McGuinty’s riding. A poll prior to last week’s byelection predicted Conservative Matt Young would take the riding, which has elected a Liberal MPP for nearly three decades. Bronwyn Funiciello (NDP) and Taylor Howarth (Green), candidates who placed third and fourth respectively in Ottawa South, complained people were voting strategically, throwing their support behind Fraser in fear of a PC win in Ottawa South. If anything, last week’s results have left us with more questions than answers. By the numbers, the Liberals lost three seats. But another way of looking at it is they went into the election a minority government and emerged a minority government. None of the opposition parties would have been able to top the Liberals seat count in last week’s byelections anyway. It seems the Aug. 1 byelections merely served as appetizers for the hotly-anticipated main course. The next general election is another two years away, unless the Tories and NDP combine to topple the minority Liberal government. Until then, the true feelings of the electorate will remain anyone’s guess or spin.

Federal Liberal Party’s platform may have gone up in smoke
A
fter months of waiting with bated breath, Liberals finally got a – shall we say whiff? – of Justin Trudeau’s platform. Late July, while on tour in British Columbia, the Liberal leader, best known for his appeal to young people, announced that should he form a government, he’d legalize marijuana. Justin, Justin, Justin. Can I call you Justin? What the heck is going on, man? Don’t you want Liberals to regain some of their base? Don’t you want to have a chance at power in, say, six years? Let’s be honest, 2015 is a little optimistic for the party that began a decade of implosion after the knives came out for J.C. – as in Jean Chretien. I understand you connect with young people, but in case you didn’t get the memo, Justin, young people don’t vote. And according to an informal survey I did recently – I called a few people – a lot of pot smokers don’t vote. The ones that do? Well, they don’t really care if it’s legal or not, do they, ’cause they’re already thumbing their noses at the law. It’s really not a make or break issue for them. Then there are people like me. I won’t

lie. I’ve smoked pot, more than once. But I haven’t touched the stuff since the days of my extended adolescence (read: university years). Today, I stick to the legal goods: red wine, cigars, etc. There are a few reasons for this. For one, I don’t really like smoking pot. And two, it’s illegal. Call me old-fashioned, but partaking in illegal activity is, to quote Austin Powers, “not my bag, baby.” Frequent trips to the LCBO are on my radar. The odd voyage to Mac’s Milk to buy ciggies, no problem. But seeking out a shady guy possessing and trafficking marijuana? Just not worth my time. When asked about his stance, Trudeau de-

clared that, should it be legalized, consumption of marijuana would go down. Ha! That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard. Can you imagine walking into a corner store and asking for a pack of joints before that weekend trip to the cottage? We’d all be doing it, at least on occasion. And so would our kids. What I find odd is that we would consider legalizing a substance that, when smoked, can make bystanders a little high. Aren’t we on the brink of outlawing cigarettes, primarily because of complaints by second-hand smokers? If it’s legal, how does the state regulate where, how and how often it can be used, and by whom? How would you regulate impaired driving while under the influence of this substance? I know a handful of people who regularly “toke and drive” and it’s risky business. One guy I knew actually flew a small Cessna over Toronto with me after he’d smoked two large reefers on Front Street. I only found out afterward. If he’d been drunk, it would have been more obvious to the flight trainers and to me and he may have faced consequences. But he was high and didn’t have any of the goods on his person. So no problem. Of course, Justin, you don’t have to worry
about the nitty-gritty like roadside urine tests and the construction of hotboxes in people’s backyards to contain second-hand smoke. You get to be, excuse the pun again, “highlevel” on the details. But Justin, Justin, my friend, if you ever want to win an election, you’ve got to reach out to your voter base. And in case you missed that memo, too, they’ve all got grey hair and are, even as I write this, moving into retirement communities. In their minds, any potential for your party platform may have just gone up in smoke.

Kanata’s Jackson McAfee can’t quite connect with a pitch during a major B game versus High Park on Aug. 3. High Park went on to a 10-0 win.
Staff
Young baseball players travelled to Kanata from Ontario and Quebec for the 2013 Scott Tokessy Memorial Gold Glove Tournament held Aug. 2 to 4. Teams filled six divisions and played at diamonds across Kanata. The full results are available at tournament.kllba.ca/ tokessy.
The event, hosted by the Kanata Little League Baseball Association, is the nation’s largest little league tournament for charity. The volunteer-run baseball tournament began in 1996 in memory of 11-year-old Scott Tokessy. Three days shy of his 12th birthday Scott hit a homerun and collapsed in the dugout from an irregular heartbeat. His condition was unknown
at the time. The competition raises funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Scott’s memory, to help fund equipment purchases and research within the cardiology department. Last year, the tournament raised $10,000, bringing the total amount of funds collected to $265,000 since it began. This was the first year rookies took part in the event.

Fastball’s ‘the Android’ headed to Saskatoon pleboeuf@metroland.com
Sports - Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric fastball player Andy Barber has returned triumphant from the International Fastpitch Championship. Nicknamed the Android for his steely talent, he is part of the Team Ontario U21 Men’s Team which took home the first place in the Champion-
ship. They narrowly beat out New Zealand in the finals on July 14. The Canadian and the American teams were joined by players from such far fledge places as Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. “It’s incredible,” said Barber. “There is so much talent.” “The guys are just so incredibly talented,” he added. “It’s just an honour.”
R0012216466_0725
Playing out of Saskatoon, Barber saw the stadiums full every day of the championship, an odd to the incredible ball talent at hand. The 20-year-old has been playing his whole life, starting when he was about five years old. Though he and his brothers have always played competitively, he didn’t really get serious about the sport until he was 16 years old. Barber didn’t even realize he could be serious about fastball until he joined the Electric. “I thought that once you finish your minor sport that was it,” said Barber. Once he grew out of the minor leagues, he met up with old teammates who pointed him in a new direction. “I was actually too young to play with the men’s league but they made special exceptions for me cause I was just talented,” said Barber. “I was just talented enough. I got pretty lucky I think.” He loves the team. Their cheer, their talent, their companionship, their support and their sportsmanship keeps him on his toes.
out batters and it’s just the complete opposite of batting,” said Barber. Not that he doesn’t enjoy batting. He loves the rush of connecting wood with a leather ball flying 75 miles per hour. “It’s almost like an adrenaline rush,” said Barber. “It’s like you are trying to guess what the pitcher is going to throw at you, how hard he’s going to throw it to you and then you have to react to it and be able to hit it.” “It’s just so fun every time I’m able to do that,” he added. TRAINING
SUBMITTED
As part of Team Ontario, Andy Barber finesses his pitching skills. His team returned triumphant from the International Fastpitch Championship in Saskatoon.
“They are a great group of guys,” said Barber. “They don’t take themselves extremely seriously. They are there to have fun, but they like to win. It’s just a good vibe when I’m playing with them. “They are very, very supportive,” he added. “Anytime I got to a tournament or anything like that with my own age group or with other teams, they are always asking me how I did, congratulating me, like they are texting me during the tournament to find out how I am doing. They are just very supportive.” His teammates are generally older than he is. They’ve played more games, been through more and aren’t afraid Here’s what some of our customers are to share their knowledge. “Anytime they have any saying: advice for me,” said Barber. “We love using Clean Green Services!

During the summer months, he spends nearly every weekend away at tournaments and he’ll spend two to three nights during the week playing locally. In games where he isn’t pitching, he’ll work on his aim earlier in the day and lift weights. In the offseason he still trains but to a lesser degree. “I don’t take it extremely, extremely, extremely serious, but I like to work out,” he said. The constant physical activity helps him keep in tip top shape particularly after a devastating hamstring injury last summer. The young athlete tore his hamstring in June 2012. It took a full month to recover enough to return to the game and even then it wasn’t completely the same. Just basic things like running made him uncomfortable, he admitted. He has returned to complete mobility for the season and is ready to take on the world. His ultimate goal is to one day make it on the national men’s team, but for now he’s just enjoying himself.
advice they give to me,” he added. “I definitely use it. I find that it helps out a lot. Fastball isn’t as popular in eastern Ontario as it is in Toronto. So he also joined the Wiarton Red Devils located out about six hours from Ottawa. When he goes to compete with them, he has to travel at least five hours “That kind of sucks but it is worth it when you get there,” he said. ON THE MOUND
Barber fell into pitching naturally. One of his older brothers was a pitcher and he would attend the games and practise on the side with his dad and “try to pretend to be him, do exactly what he did.” “It’s fun being able to strike

He added the major A games usually only last six innings. “I got a pretty special group of kids. No quit in them,” said Dubois. “I got a pretty special group of
kids. No quit in them,” said Dubois. “We were just so proud and they were so excited,” said Barb Foster, whose son Matthew plays on the team. “Their bats came alive in the semis.” The Kanata Cubs then faced off
against the Syracuse J.D. in the finals, winning 11-6. Dubois said that organizers told him it was the first time a Canadian team ever won the Syracuse tournament. “The kids in general at the beginning of the tournament were very quiet … they needed to bring their emotion to the games,” said Dubois, whose two sons Sebastien and Simon play on the team. “In the semis and finals that was no longer an issue whatsoever. They were here and they were ready to play. They played

The Cubs will play the Can-Am Oakville tournament this weekend. The team’s coach says the players don’t want the season to end.
For more information contact Melanie Yearington, reCe (director) at: info@bridlewoodchildlearningcentre.com
“Their reaction was unbelievable. Some kids asked our kids to sign the baseball,” said Dubois. “To me that is what baseball is all about. It’s uniting different kids. I think it was a great experience for the kids to get to chat with these kids for 15, 20 minutes.” The team was preparing for the Scott Tokessy Memorial Gold Glove Tournament, which took place Aug. 2 to 4, and then the Oakville, Ont. Can-Am tournament the following weekend. “They’re like me; we don’t want the season to end,” said Lionel about the team. “(We want to) keep this winning streak alive and bring some more trophies home.”

tough, they played hard, they played clean and they wanted to win. You could tell every single one of them wanted to win.” But it wasn’t only winning the tournament that made the weekend unforgettable. During the opening ceremonies, the Cubs were standing next to an inner city team from Syracuse. “They had never met Canadians and wanted to meet us,” said Foster. “That was a big part of our weekend. (It) had a huge impact on our boys.” The youths shook hands and chatted, said Dubois, and after their first game the Cubs gave each Syracuse player a Canadian baseball.

stinking rose” but a huge selection of dips, preserves, and assorted ways of using and preserving garlic. John Moore, chair of the Carp Farmers’ garlic committee and a local garlic grower, points out that this festival “has grown like crazy over the years. “Last year alone we had something like 22,000 visitors over the two days even though the weather wasn’t that good,” he said. Featured events include garlic cooking, tasting and braiding sessions plus the always popular garlic growing and “best booth” contest where vendors go all out to decorate their stands. This year the prize for best booth will be presented by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson.

Mother’s war on houseflies
T
his time of year, Mother engaged in a never-ending battle with the housefly. She thought every fly on earth was put there to carry germs and contaminate whatever surface it happened to land on. Many of our neighbours hung strips of sticky stuff from their ceilings, but Mother would have no part of them. Most of these strips were hung over the kitchen tables, since that seemed to be where the flies accumulated, and if one fly ever had the
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories misfortune of falling off and landing on the oil cloth, or heaven forbid, a piece of food, the entire table would have to be cleared, scoured and whatever food it neared, scraped into Sport’s dog dish at the back door! And so, the strips were never used in our
kitchen. Every summer Father hauled the screen door from the drive shed where it had been stored over winter, and he hung it with a tight spring attached. In fact, the spring, on Mother’s insistence, was so taut that if you weren’t

quick enough getting into the house, you could lose a leg. That was just another way of making sure a stray fly didn’t get in with us. There was never enough money to buy fly swatters, and Mother insisted we each have one, so they were homemade. Fashioned out of narrow slats of wood, with layers of green cheese cloth, or sometimes very fine screening attached on the end between more small slats, the swatters worked just fine. They were stationed on the bench at the back door, and each of us was commanded to have ours at the ready, just in case a fly managed to enter the house while we came in through the screen door. In the summertime, any food on the bake table, prepared for our next meal, was covered with spanking clean flour bag tea towels. And when the bowls were moved over to the kitchen table, the towels stayed put. It was like a mystery trying to decide which mound of white held the meat, potatoes or vegetables. Father thought Mother went too far when it came to the common housefly. He insisted the Haneman family had managed to survive in spite of them for generations. Mother said, “And that’s a miracle in itself.” She pointed out to Father all he had to do was go out to the cow byre and see the swarms of flies covering
the cows’ backsides and the manure. He would know what, if flies were allowed inside, was brought into the house where the very food we were putting in our mouths was there for the taking. At least once a week Mother had what we called her murderous attack on the common housefly. It didn’t matter how careful we were, how quickly we slammed the screen door, how diligent we were with the swatters, the flies always managed to come into the house. And when Mother couldn’t stand it any longer, she would announce at the breakfast table that this was the day. She would cast her eyes around the kitchen, and we wouldn’t even have to ask her just what day that would be. We knew without a doubt, it was the day Mother would be attacking the flies. That meant no one, not even if the house was on fire, was allowed inside until Mother was finished with what my sister Audrey called “her murderous attack.” There was a big tin can of fly tox in the summer kitchen, and on the shelf was a contraption that had a container at one end, and a handle and cylinder at the other. Mother filled the can to capacity, put a white towel around her head, went into the kitchen slamming the doors behind her, and the attack began.
Ottawa Valley Tours
I would often look in the kitchen window from my post outside, and there would be Mother furiously pumping the handle into the cylinder and pouring out what would be a burst of fog-like spray that hung in the air like gossamer curtains. I have no idea how Mother didn’t choke to death. As soon as she thought she had sprayed enough fly tox into the cavity of the kitchen, she would come out onto the back stoop, gasping for breath, the perspiration pouring down her face like falling rain and a look of complete satisfaction on her beet-red face. Then she would collapse into the twig chair, still with the spray can in her hand, and fan her face with the tail of her apron. We had to wait for ages before anyone was allowed back in the kitchen, and when we were, the grand cleanup began. The flies didn’t have a chance. Audrey would sweep up the dead bodies; I would take the dustpan to the stove, amazed at how many had fallen under Mother’s attack. Mother would light a match to the papers in the stove after piling on a couple sticks from the wood box, and soon the Findlay Oval would be raging. The deed was done for a short spell. But alas, the never-ending battle against the housefly continued until the frost hit the farm at the end of the summer.

Whipped cream
2 KMS SOUTH OF HUNT CLUB ROAD www.canlok.com
• 1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream (35 per cent)
• 1/3 cup (75 ml) liquid honey • 1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground cardamom Preparation
In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1/4 cup (50 ml) melted butter, flour and salt until no lumps remain. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before making crêpes. Plums: In large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown cut side of plums about two minutes per side; sprinkle with sugar. Add wine, star anise pods and lemon zest to skillet and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook until plums are soft, about four minutes. With slotted spoon, remove plums to heat-proof bowl. Bring syrup to boil; boil until reduced by half, five to six minutes. Add lemon juice to taste; pour over plums. Cover and let cool to room temperature. Crêpes: Heat eight-inch (20 cm) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush pan with melted butter. Pour in 1/3 cup (75 ml) batter into centre of pan, tilting pan to cover bottom thinly. Return to heat for about one minute or until bottom is
lightly browned. Using spatula, flip crêpe over and brown other side. Remove to plate. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering pan if needed. (Refrigerate crêpes if not using immediately.) Whipped Cream: Using electric mixer, whip cream on medium until thickened slightly. Slowly add honey and cardamom, whipping until stiff peaks form, about two minutes. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Remove star anise pods from plums. Place crêpes on cutting board. Divide plum mixture between 8 crêpes, spooning mixture onto one half. Fold crêpes over. Carefully transfer to plate; garnish with whipped cream, and a star anise pod. Nutritional information

Laura’s YIG keeping pace with changing community David Johnston
In the wake of big box stores and super stores offering a wide range of products from food to household goods, Laura Dubois is going back to the traditions that made local grocery stores an institution in Canada. Owner of the Your Independent Grocer at 300 Eagleson Road in the Hazeldean Mall, Laura has been in the grocery business for more than 25 years, having owned her own store for the past five. In that time she has seen the habits of shoppers transition from one-stop shopping to grazing and impulse buying. “Today people are less likely to do all their shopping in one location, unless that store can offer convenience and value to compete with the big chains,” observes Laura. That’s why she has revamped her store to offer more than 14,000 items in a wider range of general merchandise, specialty items and the highest level of customer service. New at Laura’s YIG are a natural health and wellness section, along with a ‘dollar shop’. “A lot of people are being more health conscious in their food choices,” points out Laura. “To meet that demand, we have created a natural health and wellness section that focuses on foods that are better choices. Gluten-free products and specialty foods for unique diets are part of our new offering.” A walk through the well-laid out, bright and spacious natural health and wellness section reveals a wide range of products from food staples to health and beauty aids, as well as vitamins and supplements. There is also a complete stock of traditional drug store items, such as bandages, creams, scents, hair products and related items. “We even have reading glasses for people who need something to help them see close-up.” Seniors will be impressed by the wide range of specialty items aimed at making life easier. From canes to shoe horns and comfort aids, the store helps customers ease into the aging process in comfort. Also for seniors and shut-ins,
for Canada Day celebrations. For Laura, the changes at her YIG are the result of listening to customers and providing what they want. “We want the shopping experience in our store to be personal and complete. Our staff is knowledgeable and trained to help our customers get the most from shopping.” Unlike large corporate stores, Laura says the 90 employees at her store are part of her extended family. “I am so proud of my staff. Everyone here puts the customer first, and that’s why this store has been an institution in the community for many years.” Laura is an active member of her community, which ’she S says is one of A R her favourite aspects of owning the L AU grocery store. “I am a big supporter of the Kanata Food Cupboard and I love giving back to my community.” A long-time resident of Bridlewood, Laura says her customers are her neighbours, and because of that personal connection, she feels compelled to provide the finest in food and convenience shopping. “We will strive to make our store the best it can be for the people in our neighbourhood. We appreciate the support of our customers who stayed with us during our renovations. We are proud to put our new face forward, while maintaining our reputation for traditional quality and caring, personal service.” The success of her formula can be seen on the faces of staff and customers alike. Smiles are common in the bright, clean store. There is an air of relaxed comfort that makes (In selected areas) shopping easy. “We will continue to expand our new wellness section and dollar shop to ensure that people can easily find what they need, without having to wait in endless lines or try to negotiate the miles of aisles in the big box stores.” For shopping convenience, Laura’s YIG is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call 613-5923850, or better yet, drop in and say hi.

Laura’s YIG offers a “shop for you service” where registered customers can phone in their order to be delivered. It’s all part of her commitment to friendly, personal service. “Seniors are near and dear to my heart,” says Laura. “And since food is the heart of the family, we want to ensure that people can eat well when they can’t get out to shop.” The transition of the store doesn’t stop with health and wellness. Laura has also created a ‘dollar shop’
where customers can take advantage of inexpensive items in an ever-expanding array of products. There are cheap toys, picture frames, storage containers and all the items normally associated with dollar stores. “It’s all about convenience and price,” points out Laura. “We want to offer people the opportunity to buy all their basics in one place, without having to run all over town to find items in specific stores.” The new store layout makes it
easy and quick to shop for last minute items, like a birthday gift for a child’s party. “We have an entire aisle of toys and modestly priced games that are suitable for gifts. We also carry a complete line of seasonal toys, such as beach and water toys.” Also new to the store is a ‘celebration of occasions’ section where themed products will be featured on a regular basis. As an example, Canada flags and streamers were on sale

Step dancing into business success All Saints Catholic student opens her own studio Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
News - Most high school students resign themselves to working at a fast food shop or
retail outlet for their summer job, but not Molly Miller. The 17-year-old All Saints Catholic High School student decided the typical path wasn’t for her and instead
opened up her own business, Molly’s Dance Company. Her home in Carp acts as her studio and classroom for anybody and everybody willing to learn step dance, tap or
jazz. She also travels to her clients’ homes for private lessons and offers group workshops. There is no age cap, nor is there a talent quota. Anybody is welcome to her lessons. “I’ll teach anyone,” said Miller. “Anyone can dance.” She may be relatively young, but she’s highly experienced with more than 12 years wearing dance shoes. “I’ve taught dance and have done dance related things for a while just through other people,” she added. “This is something that is on my own.” Starting the business from scratch was challenging, particularly for a young person with little to no business experience. After navigating the web looking for summer employment, Miller stumbled across the Ontario Summer Company Program, which provides up to $3,000 in start-up money as well as advice and mentorship from local businesses leaders for students.
The special provincial program lent her a hand, guiding her through the tricky business world. It did have certain strings attached such as minimum work hours and mountains of paperwork, but they were easy enough to untangle. “You just had to apply and stuff and as long as your business plans worked out well, you could get in,” said Miller. “There was a certain amount of spots. You had to apply quickly. “With this business program, you have to go to (a) meeting every two weeks,” she added. “They give you advice, explain to you how to do things and they teach you how to do this stuff. There are mentors you can talk to with the program. They are very helpful.” LEARNING EXPERIENCE
It has been a learning experience for the high school student. She had to teach herself organization, management
and marketing skills. “It’s kind of surprising how much work you have to put into it,” she said. “Handing out flyers, contacting people, just stuff like that and aligning stuff, setting things up, keeping yourself organized and making sure that you are spending enough time on it, it’s surprising how much effort you put in.” Though the program encourages students to work in the summer and study in the winter, Miller plans to balance her studies at All Saints with her business. “It does have its challenges, but it is a rewarding experience,” she said. The business is something she is trying out while still young. Yet if the opportunity arose for her to own a brick and mortar studio, she wouldn’t say no. For more information on Molly’s Dance Company or to receive lessons, please contact Molly Miller at mollysdancecompany@gmail. com.

News – John and Pauline Kuiack have been spending what precious time they have left together going on picnics, taking their three kids to the museum and spending a mini honeymoon at Chateau Montebello. And this July, they spent one last afternoon with their second family: dozens of hockey players and their families who have been touched by the Manotick couple over the past 15 years as they have coached and managed teams throughout the Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association. The players came out to celebrate and support Pauline, who is dying of cancer. “The fundraiser was absolutely phenomenal,” said John. FRIENDLY GAME

Held in the international-sized arena complete with commentary, music and a red carpet ceremonial puck drop, the elitelevel event was fitting for the couple who are virtual celebrities in the local hockey community.
It was organized by Tyler Cassidy, a 19-year-old Manotick resident, who grew up playing hockey under the tutelage of the Kuiacks. Being close to the family since he was a pre-schooler – their youngest son, Christopher, is 19 as well - Cassidy knew the Kuiacks have been struggling to make ends meet while Pauline lives out her final months. John has stopped working to be with her, and Pauline had to give up her home day care business only a few weeks after her diagnosis in January. Cassidy said giving back to the Kuiacks is the least he could do after their years of dedication to Manotick’s sport community. “They have always put others ahead of themselves,” he said. “Every hockey event, every baseball event, any ringette event, they’ve been there.” Pauline was diagnosed on Jan. 13. While it was classified a cancer of the gastro-intestinal tract, doctors never discovered the cancer’s origin. Over the past six months, the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes, abdominal lining, ovaries and stomach. In June Pauline and her husband decided to stop her chemotherapy treatments in order to enjoy the limited time she had left. Doctors say she will likely die before
Christmas. John said Cassidy’s event was especially touching because, as coaches, their goal was to teach the players about respect and compassion on and off the ice. “When you’re coaching and managing teams, you always hope you have some kind of impact on the boys outside of hockey,” he said. “What Tyler did on the weekend, it was so moving. It was about hockey, but he had taken it past hockey and looked at what’s happening in our own lives.” GAME TO REMEMBER
Beginning at 3 p.m., Cassidy led the event with a tribute to Manotick teen Tyler Campbell, who died of a fentanyl overdose last August, and spoke about the Kuiacks’ longstanding dedication to the community. Pauline, with the help of one of her sons, walked through a tunnel of raised hockey sticks to drop the puck for a ceremonial face-off before the Canadian Spartans took on Paula’s Smurfs. “That was a tear-jerker,” Cassidy said. “That was the most emotional time.” The Canadian Spartans was a team led by the Kuiacks beginning in 2007, which fundraised for two years to participate in a two-week European hockey tour in 2009. “Once I heard about Pauline’s cancer getting worse I thought we should get a Spartan reunion,” said Cassidy, who was on the team. Paula’s Smurfs won the game 6 to 3, but the biggest winner was the Kuiack family which took home about $4,000 to help with bills. Donations are still being accepted at the family’s fundraising page at mylifeline. org/paulinekuiack. A celebration of Pauline’s life will be held at the Manotick Legion on Friday, Aug. 9 and is open to all well-wishers.

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North NEW CROSSING GUARDS APPROVED Two new crossing guards have been approved in Kanata North. One will serve St. Gabriel’s by assisting children crossing the Goulbourn Forced Road at Keyrock and the other will be at Maxwell Bridge and Marconi. City staff have also just approved making the Maxwell Bridge/Marconi intersection a 4 way stop, with installation anticipated prior to the start of school. SUBMITTED

Religious leaders share Sunday meal Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Three faith groups came together in the Nepean on July 27 to mark the end of Ramadan. It’s the fourth year that the Canadian Institute of Intercultural Dialogue, the Turkish Muslim Community, the Knox United Church and the Temple Israel have met at the church in Nepean to break bread and bring the communities together. “It’s become a really popular event and a chance to learn about some of our religion’s similarities, rather than our differences,” said Rev. Andrew Jensen. Jensen said this year some of the discussion was about a United Church policy that calls for economic action against the Jewish settlements in the West Bank. He said the people of the Knox church had decided the policy was inappropriate. Jensen credited congregant Ian Gibson with working to repair some the relationship between the United Church locally and their Jewish counterparts. “We had hoped to build bridges with our Jewish neighbours and heal some of the damage caused by the policy,” Jensen said. “The meal seemed like a simple and informal way to connect.” Jensen said the evening was outstanding, with nearly all of the 80 places that were set being used. “It has really grown over the last four years,” Jensen said. “I think we get a pretty equal number of people from each community.” He said people tend to focus too much on what is different in
each religion rather than similarities. “I think people need to remember that most of the differences are mostly political, not religious,” he said.
Aside from the meal, people were able to see a demonstration by a Whirling Dervish – a common term for an initiate of the Sufi path. The Whirling Dervishes are named for their famous
practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God). “That was really interesting,” Jensen said, adding he would be pleased to host the celebration again next year.
New Rules for Backyard Pools in Effect Pool Enclosure By-law (No. 2013-39) requires that all pool owners have gates that are self-closing, self-latching and locked at all times, except when the pool area is in use. For more information, visit ottawa.ca/poolenclosures. Keep safety in mind this summer and always keep children within arms’ reach around and in the water. More water safety tips can be found at ottawa.ca.
These additional safety measures make it easier for children to walk to school safely. One item outstanding is a sidewalk along Klondike from March Road to Sandhill. A staff committee is reviewing possible ways to make this route safe for pedestrians. The biggest problem is finding funding for the crossing of Shirley’s Brook. I’ll let everyone know once I hear City staff’s recommendation on the solution and the timing.
MLACAK CENTRE ACCESS ROAD With the construction of the library addition a number of changes are being made to the parking and road access. The new parking lot is now in use and part of the road access is built. Concern has been raised about both the 4 way stop and the turn to exit from the Senior’s Centre access. I have asked for further information to be provided about the 4 way stop location and will report on that when received. It should be noted that this is a construction site and that there is a tall fence impacting on visibility at that location. When finished the 4 way stop will have stop lines and a clear view, once the fence is removed. In the meantime drivers are urged to take extra care. I will be in touch with the principal of the Earl of March and the police to ensure that student drop offs in the Fall are monitored to ensure that everyone stops at the 4 way stop.
MEDICAL MARIHUANA The City of Ottawa is preparing a By-law on Medical Marihuana. In order to provide time for residents and community association members to provide comments on this Zoning By-law Amendment, the deadline for comments has been extended to Friday, September 6, 2013. After this date, draft recommendations will be posted online at http://ottawa.ca/ en/city-hall/public-consultations/planning-and-infrastructure/zoning-reviewlocations-medical-marihuana. Community associations will be able to review the draft recommendations, including maps of their ward to see where changes are proposed to be made. Comments on the draft recommendations will be welcomed until Monday, September 30, 2013 after which time the recommendations will be finalized within a report to Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, Planning Committee, and City Council.
RECREATION FALL REGISTRATIONS AUG 12 & 13 Check out the thousands of classes the City of Ottawa has to offer in the 2013 FallWinter Recreation e-Guides now online at ottawa.ca and be ready for registration day. For swimming and aqua fitness classes online and touchtone phone (613580-2588) registration begins on Monday, August 12 at 9 p.m. and in person at City recreation facilities Tuesday, August 13 during regular business hours. Registration for all other classes begins online and by touchtone phone Wednesday, August 14 at 9 p.m. and in person at City recreation facilities Thursday, August 15 during regular business hours. High volumes of online registrants are expected throughout the first week of registration, particularly the first evening, which could result in a longer registration experience than usual. Since some popular choices in Kanata fill up fast make sure you have your client barcode and family PIN ready. If your preferred class is not available locally when you try to register, have an alternative location ready. Watch for activities at the new Recreation Centre which will likely begin in January and will increase opportunities to get local programs.
417 ACCESS CLOSURE The latest date provided for the closure of the ramp from southbound March Road to go west onto Highway 417 will begin on Friday, August 9 at 10:00 p.m. and will continue for approximately 12 weeks as part of the construction on Highway 417.

Liberals hold Ottawa South in Ontario byelection the vote in Ottawa South for federal and provincial Liberal candidates. “I expected we would win,” Rikwood-Rhodes said, adding he went door-to-door in a part of the riding that votes PC, but found voters were evenly split between Fraser and Young. When Fraser arrived, he had to make his way through a gauntlet of cameras and supporters who spent the evening watching the results appear on a big screen. Fraser had a lead from the first minutes after polls closed at 9 p.m. and held an edge all night.

dals in the last year of McGuinty’s leadership. He said he learned what voters wanted by knocking on doors during the campaign and suggested Ottawa South residents are more concerned about education, health care and job opportunities than scandals at Queen’s Park. “They want stronger schools, stronger hospitals and better care for our parents, and jobs for our young people,” Fraser said. Fraser is well known in the riding because he was based at McGuinty’s constituency office on Kilborn Avenue. He also benefited from the campaign organization the Liberals have built in the riding; a team that saw Dalton McGuinty and his father hold the provincial seat for 26 years. Among the campaign workers, Ron Legault said he wasn’t surprised at the result. He said he’s been working for the Liberals in Ottawa South for 41 years and spent the rainy day driving people to the polls. He referred to himself as “one of the old farts.” “We were well organized,” Legault said shortly before the win was confirmed at 10:47 p.m. “The polls forgot about us (the campaign workers).” Smiling from ear to ear and holding a John Fraser sign, James Rikwood-Rhodes was bouncing on his tiptoes as he awaited the new MPP’s arrival at the packed restaurant. At the age of 21, he already has 11 years of campaign experience, helping canvass and get out
The four other Aug. 1 byelections in Ontario – all former Liberal ridings – saw the Liberals drop three seats. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP and Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli, who joined the victory crowd at Kelsey’s, said the result in Ottawa South showed voters are more interested in issues close to home than scandals such as the gas plant cancellation in southern Ontario. “I did a lot of door-to-door (canvassing) in the riding and I’m not surprised at the outcome,” Chiarelli said. “The Conservatives were not talking about education, health care or the budget, and that’s not enough to get elected.” Chiarelli said “the biggest loser” of the night was PC leader Tim Hudak. “He expressed such high expectations (for the five byelections) and his party has come in last place. He has failed to communicate any sincere compassion for the people of Ontario. “A lot of people in the PC party were concerned about his leadership before the byelections and this is not going to help his cause.” Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said byelections are “always difficult for governments.” “It’s hard to read anything into this,” Naqvi said of the five byelections. He said Fraser was successful because he focused on employment, transit, roads, schools and hospitals. “Ontarians want a positive message about the future, not a slash and burn approach,” he said, referring to the PC campaign. Naqvi wouldn’t offer a prediction about Hudak’s future. “I’ll leave that to his party to decide,” he said.

News - Ottawa South is still Liberal red. Liberal John Fraser won the Aug. 1 byelection in Ottawa South, following in the footsteps of his former boss, Dalton McGuinty. Fraser took 14,925 votes, defeating Progressive Conservative candidate Matt Young, who received 13,631 votes. The result was a surprise for anyone who followed polls published in the week prior to the voting, as Young was predicted to win the byelection. Once the win was confirmed, Fraser arrived at his victory party at the Kelsey’s restaurant in South Keys where he made his way through the packed pub to a podium. “I guess it wasn’t a done deal after all,” Fraser said to the raucous crowd. Fraser, who worked as McGuinty’s constituency assistant for 14 years, gave credit to the former premier.

PC Young says he’ll be back for Round 2 Byelection campaign will build towards the next general election, say Ottawa Conservatives Laura Mueller and Blair Edwards laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Disappointed Progressive Conservatives in Ottawa South committed to playing the long game after failing to overcome the riding’s Liberal McGuinty legacy on Aug. 1. Polls showed the Conservative candidate, 34-year-old Matt Young, ahead of Liberal John Fraser, but polling station results showed Fraser in front of Young by a healthy margin all night. Fraser bested the PC candidate with 14,925 votes to the PC’s 13,631, taking 42.3 per cent of the vote to Young’s 38.7 per cent. A couple hundred PC supporters who gathered at the Southway Hotel forwent disappointment and instead chose to focus on gains moving towards a future election, possibly in the spring. The prospect of wiping out former premier Dalton McGuinty’s legacy in Ottawa South brought out more than double the number of volunteers to knock on doors, hand out brochures, install lawn signs and scrutinize polling stations.
Four hundred volunteers contributed to Young’s byelection campaign, compared to 180 people for McGuinty’s last campaign in 2011. “That means that the Conservative movement in Ottawa South is alive and it’s strong and it’s going to keep coming,” Young said. “We won’t need to introduce myself to people anymore. We’ll just talk about why we’re here and what we’ll do for them,” he said. “Now we’ve got the ground game figured out,” he said. Next time, he said he will start the campaign earlier. “I think we ran a strong campaign,” Young said. “We seriously narrowed the margin of victory for the other guy and we put them on notice that we’re going to come back next time if they don’t change the way they’re governing.” Randall Denley, the PC candidate for Ottawa West-Nepean, said polls showing Young ahead of Fraser were “wildly optimistic.” “It wasn’t in sync with what we were hearing at all,” Denley said. “It did create an expec-

Progressive Conservative candidate Matt Young was joined by his wife Allison as he conceded victory to Liberal John Fraser in front of hundreds of supporters at the Southway Hotel on the night of the Ottawa South byelection Aug. 1. tation that somehow we could just walk in and take this riding.” But it was never going to be an easy riding for the Conservatives to win, Denley said, having been held by Liberals and mainly McGuintys for 26 years. “But they didn’t win by much,” Denley said. “We’re well positioned for Round 2. “I don’t think Mr. Fraser should get too comfortable in his new position,” Denley said. Young said Fraser has already spent more than a decade working on behalf of Ottawa South constituents as McGuinty’s executive assistant. “He’s been doing yeoman’s work in the community office for 14 years and he’s been part of it. People determined they want to stay the course,” Young said. That wasn’t the case in other ridings. Of the five Liberal seats up for byelections, only two remained red: Ottawa South and the Torontoarea riding of Scarborough-Guildwood, where Mitzie Hunter took the seat. The NDP picked up two seats, while the PCs garnered one in the Toronto riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore. About 30 workers from the Bronywn Funiciello campaign gathered at Ralph’s Sports Bar cheered when it was announced the New Democratic Party had picked up two of the five
seats, with Peggy Sattler taking London West and Percy Hatfield winning in Windsor-Tecumseh. “We’re thrilled with the results,” said Funiciello. “I think it’s indicating Ontarians are looking for a progressive voice. I’m very proud to be an NDP today.” In Ottawa South, the NDP trailed the Liberals and PCs all night, with support hovering around the 15 per cent mark. Funiciello said the electorate’s vote was skewed by fear, something she heard again and again while campaigning across the riding. “I was hearing there was some concern about having a PC elected,” she said. The Green Party’s Taylor Howarth agreed that people voted strategically in Ottawa South. “I don’t really see any big change,” said Howarth. When campaigning door to door, Howarth said voters told her they didn’t like the Liberals but they were afraid of seeing a Conservative elected. “People were afraid to vote for what they want,” she said. “People are not necessarily happy with the Liberal Party but they don’t want to have Matt Young in.” The Greens took 3.1 per cent of the vote in the byelection.

Girl Guide inspires day of giving in Barrhaven Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - When eight-yearold Emmy Stewart told her mother she was bored one day last summer, neither suspected the activity would turn into a large scale fundraising effort for girls in the developing world. Danielle Stewart, who leads a Barrhaven-based Brownie troop, said she had received information from Plan Canada about ideas to fundraise for their Because I am a Girl campaign – which helps to improve access to education and medication for girls in the developing world – when her daughter came to her looking for something to do. “I just handed her some of the material and told her to look it up on the computer and she ran with it,” Danielle said. Danielle said she liked the idea of a girl-specific charity, to help her daughter to relate and learn what a difference she could make. Emmy, now 9, recruited
more than a dozen of her friends that year to put up a number of lemonade stands to raise money for the charity. The first year she raised $1,730. Buoyed by her success, Emmy decided to give it a try this year, recruiting 22 of her neighbourhood and Girl Guide friends to host nine lemonAID stands throughout Barrhaven and in other parts of the city. According to the July 30 count, the total amount raised rang in at $2,139. Danielle said the first year the goal was a couple hundred dollars, this year; they pushed it up to $1,000. “It feels really good to double it,” Emmy said. In order to convince her friends to join her in putting together the lemonade stands, Emmy rode the neighbourhood on her bike, handing out handmade flyers. She also organized a planning meeting at her house the Saturday before the team was supposed to hit the streets with their drink stands. Danielle said at the meet“That was way to easy!”
ing, Emmy told the crowd of 22 girls about the charity and handed out balloons, tattoos and posters. For the rest of the week, she made calls looking for donations and arranging for the nine stands. Danielle said a workshop in Girl Guides this year about running a business likely helped her daughter with the organizational responsibilities. “She is a natural leader and she likes helping out in her community,” Danielle said. “But she had a lot of great mentors.” Emmy said she enjoyed the work. “I can relate to the cause because I almost feel bad for them (girls in developing countries). They don’t have the stuff we do,” she said. “I just told my friends that it’s a chance to do something for other people. It’s really interesting and it would keep us busy.” For more information about the Because I am a Girl campaign, visit becauseiamagirl.ca.

‘I’m just rolling out for a drive and I’ll be back in a little while,’” Rabinovitch said before Howard Richmond’s arrest. “She just found it very relaxing and she was just out having a night drive.” Rabinovitch, who lives in South Keys, speculated before the arrest that the Denny’s restaurant at the plaza might have been her friend’s destination, since it is open 24/7. Alarm bells went off about 12 hours after Richmond reportedly left for a late-night drive, when family members realized she hadn’t made her way to Petawawa, where her military family resides, and she wasn’t with friends. That launched an organized search that saw approximately 40 of Richmond’s friends and even strangers – many of them members of the Canadian Forces – combing back roads searching for her car. On July 29, the investigation continued at the South Keys shopping centre, where five officers were searching through the bushes separating a ravine from the Kelsey’s parking lot. A manager from the neighbouring Denny’s restaurant said police reviewed security camera footage from that restaurant. Rabinovitch has known Richmond for a decade and described her as bright, vivacious and bubbly. “She was just loving and charismatic and silly and beautiful,” Rabinovitch said.

On Monday, July 29, police identified a body found at South Keys Shopping Centre as that of Melissa Richmond, 28, of North Dundas. She had been missing from her home south of Winchester since Wednesday, July 24.
“I don’t know anyone personally who didn’t like her.” Rabinovitch acted as Richmond’s mentor for historic reenactment and role-playing. They are both members of the Canton of Harrowgate Heath, a local chapter of the Society
for Creative Anachronism whose members meet regularly to celebrate and recreate the heritage of the European Middle Ages. “It’s been almost a motherdaughter relationship,” Rabinovitch said. “We were very
close.” Anyone with information about the investigation is urged to call OPP at 613-2361222 ext. 5493. With files from Blair Edwards

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. trying to land Manotick dock emma.jackson@metroland.com
News – Boaters could once again enjoy a dock at the Manotick boat launch if RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt and several residents get their way. Moffatt is working with staff in the Rural Affairs office to see if there is any money for a city-owned dock at the boat launch off South River Drive. The launch lost its dock two summers ago after the city bought it from Parks Canada. In fall 2011, the city purchased the small piece of land beside Bridge Street just east of South River Drive. The city had been in talks with the federal department since 2004 to take over the boat launch, because Parks Canada no longer wanted the launch and the city didn’t own the foot of its own bridge. But the deal didn’t include the dock – something Moffatt said the city didn’t realize at the time – and in spring 2012 the seasonal structure didn’t return. Since then, regular users of the launch have been clamouring for a new dock in the name of safety. “The water gets deep quickly and it’s not easy to get into a boat (without a dock),” said Manotick resident and avid boater Janice Domaratzki. Domaratzki said she has witnessed an elderly lady almost end up in the drink. Another boater without anywhere to tie up had to trust his boat would stay put while he
quickly parked his truck. “Everyone’s launching on a wing and a prayer,” Domaratzki said. There are several launches in the area; Manotick Marina and Hearst Marina both offer the service for a $20 fee, and there’s a free city-owned launch in Kars. Further north, boaters can use the launch at Eccolands Park. But Domaratzki said Manotick residents deserve an accessible launch of their own, right in the village. Specifically, they want it for free. Before the dock was removed, the nearby Long Island Aquatic Club had its summer staff collect a $10 fee to use the launch on behalf of the city of Ottawa, even when it was owned by Parks Canada. That practice has stopped since the dock was removed, but Moffatt said it’s not clear if a fee could be reinstated once a new dock is installed. “It doesn’t make sense to charge people for a boat launch when there’s no dock, because what are you paying for,” he said. “But if we put in a dock and it requires maintenance we may have to do something.” Greely residents Fred Bellegarde and Luci Leblanc said they would be willing to pay a fee if it meant they had the use of a dock. As they put their boat in the water at the Manotick launch on July 24, they said a dock would be helpful so they wouldn’t have to climb in from the water. “It’s annoying,” Leblanc said. “And fibreglass on rocks isn’t a good thing.”
MONEY MATTERS
In an effort to move things along, Domaratzki has passed Moffatt three quotes for a replacement dock similar to what was there before, which she collected from local marinas and contractors. The most reasonable is about $3,600 including tax and delivery for a 5x20 foot red cedar dock. Moffatt said he has passed the quotes to staff to see if any funding exists for this kind of project.
“There isn’t a specific budget for a boat launch but we have docks in other places so we’re just trying to see how we can do it with our existing resources,” Moffatt said. If it turns out the city has no money for such a project, Domaratzki is confident it can get done through other means. “It’s not a lot of money. We could raise $3,600 in six hours in this community,” she said. Moffatt said maintenance costs and other considerations haven’t been discussed yet, and that a timeline is not yet clear.

First Ottawa mosquitoes test positive for West Nile Virus News - Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is reminding residents to take necessary precautions against mosquito bites when going outdoors. Our routine surveillance has confirmed the presence of West Nile Virus (WNV) in the Ottawa mosquito population again this year.
West Nile Virus (WNV) is an infection spread by mosquitoes that, in a small number of cases, can cause serious illness. Most people will not develop symptoms if infected with WNV, but some individuals – particularly the elderly or those with weakened immune
systems – may experience flulike symptoms. OPH urges residents to do their part in protecting themselves and their families from mosquito bites by: Reducing standing water sites around your home (bird baths, toys, flower pot saucers,
swimming pool covers, etc.) Applying an approved mosquito repellent to exposed skin and clothing. Avoiding going out at dawn and at dusk, when
mosquitoes are most active For additional information on West Nile Virus, visit ottawa.ca/health or call Ottawa Public Health Information at

Four food carts still coming to Ottawa’s streets Delays due to equipment regulations prompt safety authority to boost info for new vendors DELAYS
Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND
LeRoy H. Walden Jr. and his assistant, Britannia resident Darlene Best, serve up chicken and waffles during LeRoy’s Detroit Style Soul Food truck’s first day of operation at Woodward Drive and Courtwood Crescent in Nepean on Aug. 1. The experience with Ottawa’s street-food program has encouraged the safety authority to do just that, said spokesman Wilson Lee. “We’re hearing more about the regulatory requests from Ottawa than any other city … For a lot of the folks who are getting into the business for

the first time it is very new, having to wade through a tangle of regulations,” Lee said. “We should be responsive to that.” The authority is looking at setting up a webpage with detailed information specifically for would-be foodtruck proprietors and also creating
an information package to share with municipalities. TSSA approval normally takes 30 days and costs around $1,000. Inspections are needed to ensure fuelfired appliances are safely installed in the vehicles with proper venting and fuel supply storage.
R0012233054/0801
Other truck proprietors find themselves trying to make up for lost time. The deluge of new food trucks and carts coming to Ottawa created delays in the city and even throughout North America as truck manufacturers, equipment vendors, technicians and inspectors attempted to cope with the influx. “We had manufacturers calling us asking ‘What are you doing in Ottawa?’” Powell said. “They said, ‘You’re just putting so much pressure on us.’ It created a bottleneck.” Once the trucks hit the streets, they’ve been reporting great success, Powell said. That deluge and the learning curve that goes along with it meant some Ottawa food trucks didn’t hit the streets until later this summer, although they were allowed to start selling in May. LeRoy H. Walden Jr. celebrated his first official day with his soulfood truck, LeRoy’s on a rainy Aug. 1. But he churned out 10 bags of chicken and a lot of waffles on his first shift in a business park at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Courtwood Crescent in Nepean. Although a fridge malfunction didn’t help, Walden said navigating the regulations imposed by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. “Everyone is running around because these are different standards than other food trucks,” said Walden, a Glebe Annex resident. Jake Thomas’s Dosa Inc. truck opened at Dundonald Park in Centretown on July 15. Having never operated a restaurant, let alone a food truck before, Thomas conceded some of the delays were self inflicted. “It’s a learning process for all of us,” he said. Operators can look up the highlevel regulations on the safety authority’s website, but intrerpreting them takes licensed professionals. Those technicians were hard to come by as the influx of new truck operators competed for their time, Powell said. Thomas said the city and the safety authority could help vendors out by providing more detailed information about how to comply with the regulations.

News - Vanier foodies won’t be able to try out the food-truck trend in their neighbourhood this summer after all. The Epicurean Munchies Truck the city announced was awarded a spot at Olmstead Street and Montreal Road as one of 18 new licences won’t become a reality after all, said Philip Powell, programming manager of licensing and markets for the city. EMT isn’t the only truck that won’t see the light of day. Ragin’ Cajun, which was supposed to go at the corner of Bank Street and Clemow Avenue in the Glebe, is another failed venture for this summer, Powell said. Another new truck that was awarded a licence for the other side of that intersection, Road Roaster, has been up and running, serving roasted chicken to Glebites. “We’ve told council and others to expect not all of these folks will succeed,” Powell said, noting the success rate of new food-service businesses is around 50 per cent. “We knew there would be some technical and personal issues getting going,” Powell said. Matthew Gregoire (Rajin’ Cajun) said his former employer, York Entertainment, was going to finance the purchase of the truck, but there was a difference of opinion and he moved on from the company. If he can come up with the capital to buy the truck in the future, he said he might still pursue it. Peter G. Bowen (EMT) could not be reached but Powell said he was told the businesses didn’t start operating for personal reasons, not due to the viability of the Vanier location. Four new food carts are still on their way, Powell said. Those include Gongfu Bao steamed buns (Elgin and Slater streets in Centretown), Bobites organic baked potatoes (Metcalfe and Sparks streets in Centretown), Spoon frozen yogurt (O’Connor and Sparks streets in Centretown) and Olive Green, south Asian food at Carling Avenue and Preston Street in Little Italy. The city could choose to go down its list of high-scoring food-truck proposals and offer the Glebe and Vanier spots to other vendors or reissue a call for interested entrepreneurs, Powell said. That would happen before the licensing cycle ends in November.

Nature museum celebrates ripe old age of 100 michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The Canadian Museum of Nature is celebrating its centennial this year, making it as old some of the rare finds between its walls. In its infancy, the museum was gathering artifacts at an alarming rate, and some of the first items it put on display were those ancient monsters that lay dormant beneath the Alberta tar sands for more than 65 million years. The museum officially opened its doors in January of 1913. “Crowds of people visited the fossil gallery, with it often being crowded up to the hour of closing,” wrote Lawrence Lambe, the museumí s paleontologist in 1913. Now, paleontologist Jordan Mallon reflects that people have had many chances to see dinosaurs at the movie theatre, with films such as Jurassic Park. But seeing them in person in the museum’s fossil gallery hall can ignite a visitor’s imagination, he said. “These things are so un-
like anything alive today,” he said. “We all marvel in monsters and here we have proof that something like Godzilla existed. It never gets old. The fossils get older, but they never get old to look at.” Once known as the Hall of Fossil Vertebrates, the Talisman Energy Fossil Gallery now has more than 30 complete skeletons on display, 15 life-sized models and hundreds of specimens. In 1913, it was a different story. The museum was brand spanking new and in order to have items to draw in the crowds, the organization decided it had to jump on “the bone war” wagon and hired Charles H. Sternberg, a Kansas archeologist, sending him to Alberta to find skeletons of 65- to 85-million-year-old dinosaurs. “They didn’t make much, but for Charles, it was all about the joy of showing God’s handy work,” Mallon said. As Mallon walks through the gallery as it stands today, he notes that although much has changed in what we now know about dinosaurs and

A technician does some prep work in 1914 for some dinosaur bones brought back from the Alberta Badlands. “The animal lay like a dead dog; I thought I had never seen anything so pitiful and forlorn,” Sternberg wrote. “Charlie and I mounted it the next winter, and were careful to put a little life into the dead skeleton by straightening out the neck a little, and giving a sense of motion, as it were, to the tail, so that the animal would not look as repulsive as it otherwise would to some

“They went out in the field in 1912, the fossils went on display in 1913 - they managed to turn it around in a year, it’s amazing,” he said. “Now a-days to prep something like this would take much longer.” Edmontosaurus was placed on display in July 1913. It’s estimated to weigh nearly 15,000 pounds and took 20 men to bring into the hall. According to Mallon, this fossil is about 95 per cent complete - about as good as it gets when it comes to finding a complete dinosaur. The fossil was found by Sternberg and mounted in the hall just as it was found in the field - with one small detail changed. “He commented that the way its head laid looked pathetic so he gave it some more life and moved it,” Mallon said. In Sternberg’s field notes, the bone collector described finding the skeleton in his book “Hunting Dinosaurs in the Bad Lands of the Red Deer River, Alberta Canada”.

observers; for there is such a thing as breathing life into the skeletons that have been buried out of sight for three million years or more.” Mallon notes that Sternberg’s timeline is outdated, and that this animal lived over 71 million years ago. Two other skeletons which were placed on display at the museum in 1913 - a Xiphactinus- a large extinct fish - and brontothere, a mammal much like a rhinoceros can still be found in the same area of the museum they were placed 100 years ago. “At the time, no one in Canada would have seen something like this in Canada,” Mallon said. The museum said they are preparing for a formal celebration to commemorate the last 100 years, but no plans have been set as of yet.

Ottawa Mission closes kitchen for renovations Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The Ottawa Mission kitchen will be closed this month while the well-used space receives muchneeded repairs. But the temporary closure will not affect the mission’s commitment to serving more than 1,200 meals a day to those in need. A 13-metre long mobile kitchen has been set up outside the mission to prepare meals while the permanent kitchen undergoes repairs. Spokeswoman for the mission, Shirley Roy, said the trailer was integral to the renovation plans. “We really didn’t want to interrupt services to people in need. It’s crucial for the people who come here,” Roy said. During August, kitchen staff and volunteers will prepare the meals in the trailer, which houses a walk-in refrigerator, a ventilation system , a fire suppression system, a large deep fryer, and sinks for washing dishes. The trailer will be parked at the dead end of Daly Avenue, at Waller Street. Food will be served in the common area and the mission’s dining hall will remain open as usual. On average, the mission has around 235 residents staying at the
shelter per night, who receive three meals a day, said Roy. The organization also serves community meals for other area residents in need. Renovated 10 years ago, the constant use of the kitchen has worn out the floor, and over the past few years, the mission has been repairing it piece by piece, said Roy. “It’s a busy place; it has been worn really easily,” she said. There is also concerns mold and mildew was growing in the walls. The renovation will cost $120,000, which includes the cost of the $12,000 mobile kitchen and will see the kitchen’s flooring and walls replaced with higher quality floorboards and stainless-steel walls. “We have been planning for this for quite some time, the board of directors knew this was coming,” Roy said. It’s important for people who make charitable donations to realize the money not only puts food on the table, it is also critical for funding the mission’s entire operation, such as fixing lights, adding beds or updating the building, she said. The kitchen’s renovation should be completed by Labour Day weekLAURA MUELLER/METROLAND end, said Roy, adding that the fall The Ottawa Mission has brought in a 13-metre long trailer to help serve and winter tend to be the shelter’s more than 1,200 meals a day while the organization closes its kitchen busiest months. for repairs.

Manor Park Heights Park is the new location for Penny Palooza, a breast cancer concert fundraiser to be held on Aug. 11. The event begins at 3 p.m.
Penny Palooza to hit the stage on Aug. 11 Concert changes locations, adds space, activities Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A concert in Manor Park is shaping up to becoming as big as the cause it’s supporting. Penny Palooza rolls out at on Aug. 11 with musical acts, an illusionist, prizes, clowns, a barbecue and more than $3,000 worth of silent auction items to help raise money for breast cancer. The event was created by Peter Steele, who was looking for a way to raise money for the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre, where his neighbour and long-time friend Penny Thompson has been receiving treatment since being diagnosed with breast cancer late last year. The concert’s location has changed however to Manor Heights Park, at 100 Thornwood Rd. Steele said the location change was in part because residents surrounding the former location, Anthony Vincent Park, raised concerns about
too much noise. Steele said the move is actually a good one because the new park is bigger. Steele’s band, Lockhart Station, will perform along with eight other acts, most of which are local, including a band featuring Thompson’s teenage son. “We live in a great neighbourhood. Everyone pulls together and so many people are helping with the event,” Steele said. When Thompson – who is currently undergoing treatment at the breast centre – heard about the event, she said she was very touched by the support from her neighbourhood. “The fantastic response of the community has made my journey easier,” Thompson said in an email when she first heard about the event in June. “My family and I continue to feel connected. We are grateful for the friendships that have been extended to us and we will never forget the many kindnesses we have received. I feel empowered to share my story and, in doing so, perhaps reach out to someone who is not ready to ask for help.” Steele has partnered with fellow Penny supporter Marc Lafontaine, who launched the Pennies for Penny campaign in the winter. “When Marc LaFontaine
called me with his idea for Pennies for Penny, I was equally struck by his kindness and thrilled with the prospect of giving back to the Ottawa Hospital’s Women’s Breast Health Centre,” Thompson wrote. “The WBHC is a fantastic, one-stop shop, medical facility for men and women in the and around the Ottawa area.” And for Steele, going door to door in the neighbourhood, he managed to build from one sponsor at the end of June to more than 30 local businesses signing up to support the event. “A lot of people know Penny and wanted to help,” Steele said. “I have been getting great reception and the whole thing has just been a really encouraging.” Steele did say the organization is still trying to find donations for barbecue items. “We are having a hard time finding places that can donate food,” Steele said. “You know hamburger, hot dogs, buns, regular barbecue stuff. If we can get that donated, then that means more money can go to the hospital.” Admission is $10 a ticket and children under 12 are free. A full event schedule is available online at pennypalooza. ca. Tickets are on sale now. The event begins at 3 p.m.

Communities invited to pitch in for dune days Volunteers needed to help with Pinhey sand dunes conservation project Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
Community - After two years of painstaking work, a unique sandy habitat is beginning to re-emerge in the depths of Nepean. But work on the Pinhey sand dunes isn’t done yet. The group working to restore the rare desert-like habitat is asking residents from neighbouring communities to pitch in and help clear plant growth and debris from the area as the summer winds down. At first, organizers with the Biodiversity Conservancy International and the Stewards of the Sand Dunes wondered how to get people excited about cutting down trees and restoring a sandy, hot environment that is almost totally free of plant life. But neighbours have adopted the unusual conservation project with gusto, said volunteer co-ordinator Joanne Hakaku.
LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND
P.T. Dang, director of Canada’s Capital Sand Dune Conservation Project with Biodiversity Conservancy International, demonstrates how to sift sand to clear debris at the Pinhey sand dunes. “I always sort of get goose bumps when I think about it,” she said. “You can see the community spirit come alive … before, community was just a concept to me.” R0012247092.0808

The group is once again looking for ecologically minded volunteers who can pitch in for the next phase of the project. Thanks to $100,000 in funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, partnerships with and funding from the city and NCC and about 1,000 volunteer hours, the group has
cleared a section of dunes representing about three per cent of the dune system’s original size 10,000 years ago, when the sandy area was created by receding iceburgs. The group wants to more than triple the size of the current reclaimed area, which means more volunteer effort is needed.
A small group of volunteers heads out Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings, but the group is looking for volunteers from several nearby neighbourhoods to come out from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on their community’s volunteer day: • Sunday, Sept. 8: Grenfell Glen, Pineglen and Country Place • Sunday, Sept. 15: Merivale Gardens • Sunday, Sept. 22: Barrhaven and Longfields Volunteers are asked to bring gloves, sunscreen and garden tools such as a rake, pickaxe or wheelbarrow. The work includes clearing, raking and sifting debris from the sand and carting it away. Drinking water is provided. Explaining the logic behind clearing out vegetation is the hardest part of recruiting volunteers, said P.T. Dang, director of Canada’s Capital Sand Dune Conservation Project. The group is clearing out trees that were planted 50 years ago when there was less understanding of the uniqueness and importance of the sandy habitat, Dang said. The fine white sand would blow into people’s homes, so the city gave grants for trees to be planted throughout the dune system, which destroyed the habitat of sand-dwelling creatures. “We are not trying to save a pile of sand. We are trying to save a habitat,” Dang said. The animals that live in the dunes – mainly insects – are unique and adapted to survive and thrive in the extreme heat environment. Preliminary observation shows the insect numbers are starting to increase again thanks to the habitat restoration efforts, Dang said. Species include the rare white tiger beetle, sand wasps, lacewings and spiders. But none of them are biting insects, Stewards of the Sand Dunes president Dick de Jong pointed out. “It’s not hard work and you learn a lot because you’re alongside scientists,” de Jong said. “Plus, you get to play in the sand.” Eileen Phan, a University of Ottawa student and Merivale High School graduate, said she comes out to volunteer because she’s interested in doing something locally to contribute to ecological conservation. “Personally I think it’s really cool that there is a sand dune so close to where we live,” she said. The project also included building nature trails with interpretive panels to showcase and educate people about the unique fauna and flora of the dunes. One trail shows off pink lady slipper orchids and robber flies, while another trail focuses on the rare white tiger beetle. Walkers on a third trail have a good chance of seeing a curious funnel-shaped sand trap the ant lion beetle uses to catch its prey. The dunes are located in the Pinhey Forest on the north side of Slack Road between Woodroffe Avenue and Vaan Drive. The entrance is at the corner of Vaan Drive and Pineland Avenue.

News - Two-thirds of the Ottawa River’s watershed lies within the province of Quebec, which until recently has posed a problem for the river’s sworn protector. The Ottawa Riverkeeper’s mandate is to monitor the health of the watershed and advocate for both its use and protection. This summer, the group has gained a number of allies from the Quebec side of the river who share the same sentiments and goals. Earlier this summer, the Ottawa Riverkeeper was approached by members of La Fondation de Gaspé Beaubien - a family-based foundation devoted to entrepreneurial philanthropy – in the hopes of forming a partnership. On July 12, the foundation committed $490,000 to the River Mission, a partnership between the Riverkeeper and Blue Legacy, a youth water quality monitoring project. The money also pays for a threeyear term for a Quebec director of operations for the Riverkeeper and their partners. “We’re incredibly lucky they chose us,” said Riverkeeper director of communications Alex Black. “Expanding our reach into Quebec has always been on our agenda, but we weren’t able to work effectively in Quebec… There are different laws

ception many had formed about the creek was quickly shattered. “When you walk down to the creek and see old tires and garbage along it…you get the perception that it’s a lost cause and there must not be much left to save,” said Murphy. “We were surprised by the amount of fish (in the creek), even right by a combined sewer overflow outlet. That’s quite affirming.” The Riverkeeper has volunteer riverwatchers located all along the river, from Temiskaming to Hawkesbury. Money raised through the many events organized by the Riverkeeper go partly towards the purchase of water testing kits for the volunteers, and more are always needed as the number of volunteers grows. The kits test for pollution like phosphates from farm runoff, which can lead to oxygen-destroying algae blooms. A meeting to be held in the early fall in Gatineau will release the findings of the water testing and solicit for ideas on what the group and its partners should do next. Certainly, it’s been a busy but productive year for the Riverkeeper, with new allies spanning two provinces and a growing awareness of their initiatives. “It’s been brutal, but in a good way,” said Black. “There’s a lot happening.”

Poverty the biggest barrier to good health: report Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Being poor in Canada can kill you. That’s what a new report released by the Canadian Medical Association has determined. The association
asked Canadians what they think makes them sick during a series of town halls held in Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Montreal, Charlottetown and St. John’s, N.L. Canadians believe 50 per cent of what makes them sick is due to social determinants,
The CMA held a news briefing about the report on July 30. Reid said the need for affordable housing and income were the two most discussed concerns at all the town halls. “We aren’t pointing fingers,” she said. “We listened to Canadians and what we heard was
such as income, early childhood development, education, safe and nutritious food and housing security. “We heard, in a nutshell, that the biggest barriers to being healthy are poverty,” said Dr. Anna Reid, president of the Canadian Medical Association.
that they want sincere, legitimate and real action. “As a country we can do better in tackling issues around poverty, housing, early childhood development, food security and culture that can hinder a person’s chances to be healthy.
There is no one sector responsible for making this happen. It has to be a joint effort, involving health care providers, governments, patients and Canadians from all backgrounds.” See NEW page 56

Community health centres helping low-income families Continued from page 54
The conference was held at the Centretown Community Health Centre. The centre’s president, Jeff Morrison, said the centre has many programs already in operation which aim to reduce the stress on people who are low-income, homeless and new immigrants. “Our health centre is actually an ideal model for the implementation for what the CMA called for today,” Morrison said. “We can serve as a model for how some of these programs can roll out. For example, we have classes for how low-income individuals can stretch their dollar, we have classes for how new immigrants can cook nutritious meals. “We have a program here called the Good Food Box, which actually provides nutritious food for a cost lower than at a grocery store and there are so many more ways that we can contribute and I think we can play a really key role.” Morrison added that his centre, as well as many ur-

Centretown Community Health Centre president Jeff Morrison spoke about the centre’s programs already in place for low-income families. ban health centres, need more funding to ensure the programs they run continue. “Centretown, and our catchment area, which includes the Glebe and Old Ottawa South, is growing in population and we are running out of space,” he said. “We actually need additional space, which we don’t have the money for.” Morrison pointed to a large hole in the centre’s ceil-
ing, adding, “As you see, our space is literally falling apart. “We are rated over and over again as a model of how health care can work in this province and Canada and yet we are consistently under funded as compared to the hospital sector ... if we can keep care at home, we keep people out of hospitals.” Morrison agreed with Reid about the need for every sector to work together. He added the centre intends to use this report to help raise the concern about affordable housing and food and income security concerns with the city. “I think to his credit, Mayor Jim Watson recognizes this,” he said. “It’s always a question of funding. The city has funded some affordable housing initiatives and we welcome those, but, we need to continue those efforts.” “It’s a lot easier to keep someone healthy than it is to treat them when they are sick and I think that is the whole point of the Dr. Reid’s presentation.” The full report is available online at cma.ca.

Aries, try not to pick sides when asked for your opinion on a dispute between close friends. Giving the impression of picking sides may strain a friendship. Many positive things are on the horizon, Taurus. You just have to get through a few rough spots before it is clearer sailing this week. Pisces is a pivotal player. Challenge yourself this week, Gemini. Now is a great time to take on a new hobby or task and test your mettle. You will be glad you did when you accomplish your goals. Cancer, trust those around you as they can be a valuable source of support and encourgagment. Work to be there for them as much as they have been there for you. Leo, a travel opportunity is just over the horizon, so have your bags packed and ready to depart at a moment’s notice. You can certainly use some time away. Virgo, once you think you have everything figured out, a few variables get thrown into the mix. You will show your ability to solve problems if you can handle the task.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
