EMC news - Reach Up is hosting a golf tournament this September to raise muchneeded funds for suicide prevention programs. Jon Lovagi, co-chair of the organization, said hosting the Reach Up For Youth Suicide Prevention Golf Classic means a lot to him. “The last thing that my late son Dustyn and I did was golf,” said Lovagi. “It was just serene out there. We had a moment out there. Sadly, it was one of our last. “I lost him four days later.” The tournament, set for Sept. 24 at the Kanata Golf and Country Club in Kanata Lakes, will be held in memory of Dustyn, who took his own life in 2005. Having just made the dean’s list at Algonquin College and only days away from working at pro golfer Mike Weir’s golf resort, Dustyn stepped off a highway into the path of an oncoming truck. “Dusty had a hard time finding joy,” said Lovagi, adding Dustyn tried to commit suicide once before and was receiving help from CHEO. “He felt he would never find joy in his life.” See FUNDS, page 2

She added that with the additional funding that will come in from this golf tournament, she’ll be able to host another workshop. “Our safeTALK was highly successful,” she said. “We want to take this project to the next step.” McNulty said she wants to offer separate workshops for youths, adults and front line workers – those who work closely with youths, like scout leaders and coaches. “We have to know how to respond,” said McNulty.

The Reach Up For Youth Suicide Prevention Golf Classic is raising funds for Reach Up, the Kanata Haven Youth Centre and the Do It For Daron Foundation. “We want to let other kids know they can find joy in their life,” said Lovagi. The money will be used to fund suicide prevention research and workshops, said Lovagi, who wants to host a safeTALK workshop for his minor hockey coaching colleagues. “That would be really beneficial,” said Mike Dixon, cochair of Reach Up. Dixon, a funeral director, said it’s important to have programs like this in place. “It’s programs like this that keep you going while you’re waiting,” for professional help, he said.

Earlier this year Reach Up hosted its inaugural hockey tournament. After the event,

Lovagi and Dixon said they’re hoping to raise $20,000 for suicide prevention. “This community is probably the most caring community I’ve ever been a part of,” said Dixon. “That’s a great characteristic about this com-

Lovagi said he’s still in talks with a few more wellknown locals. The registration deadline for the inaugural Reach Up For Youth Suicide Prevention Golf Classic is Sept. 14. The event will be held on Sept. 24 at the Kanata Golf and Country Club, in Kanata Lakes. Space is available for 144 golfers for the shotgun start and there is a dinner only option for those who don’t golf. Tickets are $180 and include lunch, golf cart rental, 18 holes, dinner and prizes.

Charity collecting school supplies Caring and Sharing Exchange

EMC news - The first day of school is around the corner and parents are already shopping for back-to-school items. The Caring and Sharing Exchange is currently able to help less than half of the children from low-income families who were registered for assistance by a variety of local partnering agencies. Unfortunately, this leaves over 1,400 children without

help. The Sharing in Student Success program provides a redeemable gift-voucher for Giant Tiger, which gives parents the dignity and the flexibility to purchase the school essentials that their children need. The new executive director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange, Smith, is turning to the Ottawa community for support. “In the past, 75 per cent of the funds needed have come

to us through individual donations,” said Smith. “So we rely heavily on generous contributions from the community to ensure that every child experiences a special first day at school. For now, the Sharing in Student Success program only has enough funds to help a little under half of the children on the list which leaves us with 1,424 children waiting for help.” The main need is for financial donations, which are converted into gift vouchers. In

order for parents to purchase necessities like a backpack, lunch box, gym shoes and pencilcases, the Caring and Sharing Exchange has set the gift-voucher amount at $40. Donations can be made online at www. CaringandSharing.ca or by calling 613-226-6434. For more information about the organization and its programs, or to make a donation, please call 613-226-6434 or donate online by visiting www.CaringandSharing.ca.

Police find items with tags still attached Continued from page 1

“It was one of the things we were looking for,” said Alden. He added the chainsaw matches the description from the responding officer of the tool used in the assault, but it hasn’t yet been confirmed. “It’ll have to be checked forensically,” he said. OFF THE PATH

Alden said he heard reports of youths “hanging out and living in the woods,” during his weekly briefing last Thursday, so he and his partner took a walk through on Aug. 9. They located the site about 250 metres in the woods near a body of water – but not the person or persons who had been squatting there. However, the area had been disturbed at some point during the past four days. “Somebody’s been here since Thursday,” said Alden, adding the chainsaw wasn’t there last week. Alden and Sgt. Barb O’Reilly worked with community police officer Const. Ryan Strotmann to confiscate various items of interest, including Motorola walkie-talkies and a number of other small electronics, equipment and clothing. “Anything with the tags (still attached) that could have been stolen,” was taken into police

The city was scheduled to clean up the rest of the garbage and debris from the site. NO TRESPASSING

Two air mattresses lay side by side in the dirt, strewn with items including a red towel, an air pump, a pair of jeans, a hairbrush, a can of spray paint, Vaseline, USB cables and small electronic items. A bright pink laundry ham-

per held various articles of clothing, including a women’s two-piece bathing suit. The squatters had hung a Coleman tent, two pairs of black jeans and a black and grey hooded sweatshirt from clothesline strung between the trees. Some of the garbage was also strung up in a mesh bag. But energy drink cans, empty wrappers, cardboard and broken knick-knacks still littered the ground. A Loblaws shopping cart lay overturned on the edge of the site. O’Reilly said the grocery chain would be happy to get it back, as carts can run up to $500 each.

behaviour are asked to call police at 613-236-1222. “While the Ottawa Police Service will always be available to respond to crime, we need your active participation to help prevent crime,” he said. “Ottawa is regarded by many as one of the safest cities in the world, but that is no reason to let your guard down.”

Grannies plan to raise $35,000 Continued from page 5

This year, the Grassroot Grannies are planning to raise $35,000 for the campaign. The group has raised more than $60,000 over the last two rides. “I’ve been delighted at the continued support I’m getting from our sponsors,” said Hough. “The need is ongoing…we’re making a difference.” Twenty-two cyclists – eight of them new to the event – are taking part in this year’s Ride to Turn the Tide. “It’s really nice to see the new riders,” said Hough. “They help expand our awareness.” This will be Stella Val’s first time taking part in the Ride. Although the Nepean resident isn’t an official member of the Grassroots Grannies, she said the cause is important to her. “I have grandchildren of my own. I think it’s a really big thing they’re doing,” said the retired teacher. “The Stephen Lewis Foundation is a very worthwhile

charity to support and I think it’s very important that work is done to continue the developments being made in research and support for those affected (by AIDS).” Val’s personal goal is to raise $1,000. So far, she’s

Putting myself in their position, I have a really easy and pleasant life. Stella Val First-time participant

reached about 80 per cent. “Putting myself in their position, I have a really easy and pleasant life,” said Val about African grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren. “They don’t have a choice; they’re doing it to keep the family together.” Val has four grandchildren of her own.

“I love them and leave them,” she wrote on her personal fundraising page. “That’s right, I leave them with their healthy parents when I have finished visiting with them. How lucky they are when you consider all the children around the world, many of them in sub-Saharan Africa, who have lost a parent to AIDS. My heart goes out to all the grandparents raising their grandchildren under difficult circumstances.” The 270-kilometre bike ride will start at the Bushtukah store between Kanata and Stittsville on Sept. 5. The grannies will be hosted by the Mississippi Grannies in Almonte, the Lanark Grannies in Perth, the United Church in Merrickville, and Grannies All About Kids in Metcalfe during the threeday tour. A reception will be held to welcome back the cyclists on Sept. 7, around noon, at the Bushtukah store on Hazeldean Road. For more information or to donate, visit www.grassrootgrannies.com.

Soccer player uses social media to inspire others Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - A Bridlewood soccer player is spreading the message to never give up on a dream. Aaron Hooper almost gave up on his goal of advancing as a soccer player after a major knee injury sidelined him for a year. But instead of quitting, the 18-year-old worked hard to rehabilitate himself. Now, he’s training with the Kingston FC and running various social media sites to spread his positive message. “Never stop dreaming,” said the A.Y. Jackson Secondary School graduate. “That’s the motto.” BAD TACKLE

wouldn’t be playing now. He said he also has to credit the support of his family and friends, as well as “lots of FIFA too on the Xbox.” In April, Hooper tried out for the Kingston FC and was assigned to the division 2 team. “I’ve been training with them ever since,” he said. “It’s a good level.” ‘NEVER GIVE UP’

Hooper is using social media in the hopes of inspiring others to never give up on their goals. He made a motivational video for YouTube and runs a Facebook page and Twitter account. “I just wanted to show the community my video,” he said. “Show them that with hard work you can go for your dreams. Never give up on them.” Lorne Abugov, chairman of the Kingston FC, hasn’t yet seen Hooper at practice but said he has a positive outlook. “He seems to be showing a never-say-die-type attitude.

I think that’s consistent with the overall positive attitude that he tends to bring to soccer,” said Abugov. “I know Aaron has goals, objectives, dreams to further his soccer abilities and move up the soccer pyramid…but Aaron I think will hopefully be able to take his soccer to whatever the appropriate level of his capabilities are.” Abugov added he’s seen Hooper’s video and thinks it’s a great way to connect positively with others. “Not all young people are thinking beyond the box or beyond themselves.

The former captain of the A.Y. Jackson soccer team and Capital United U21 player had been preparing to show off his skills to American scouts in the hopes of landing a university scholarship. But a game of pickup with a group of friends took a turn when a bad tackle tore Hooper’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a major ligament of the knee. The injury meant he couldn’t play for the scouts and had to give up on playing for an American university. “I had to miss it all,” he said. “It was pretty bad, you get to a point when you’re really depressed.” Hooper, who was accepted to Carleton University’s economics program, added that major ACL injuries can result in the end of a sporting career. “You feel like you’re kind of hopeless.” Unwilling to give up on himself, Hooper worked hard during his rehabilitation. “I really pushed hard. I had some really great physiotherapists,” he said, adding if he hadn’t pushed himself he

Drought comes with a price for everyone

ear after year we are seeing less predictable weather. It’s costing the farmers dearly this year and the dry times will cost us all over the coming months and years. Adapting our actions to deal with climate change is a simpler task than adapting our lives to deal with weather that can damage our economy. The price we pay for fruits and vegetables will be the first

effect felt by consumers. If dry weather becomes the new normal, some produce may not be available at all or the season will be shorter. Because local corn and hay feeds cows but is in short supply, farmers across much of Canada and the central United States will likely be forced to sell off beef cattle. There could be a glut and prices might drop in the short term which could be followed by a spike.

Unpredictable weather may mean unpredictable beef prices. Beyond the food on our tables, there will be other, less obvious effects if dry, hot weather becomes the norm. At Pinto Valley Ranch in Fitzroy Harbour, the owners plan to sell nearly half their horses because feeding them hay at current prices isn’t possible. That will mean reduced opportunities for Ottawa kids

to try riding, which in turn will almost certainly mean fewer riders for the equestrian industry in the future. If watering bans become the new normal, backyard gardens and community allotment gardens won’t be able to provide as much food for city folk. That in turn increases demand for imported foods. If we’re forced to stop watering lawns, they will die and homeowners will have to invest in drought resistant

plants or pave the front yard. Golf courses are suffering and the cost of installing irrigation systems could be the difference between staying in business or shutting down for some course owners. The sports fields used by children and adults are in rough shape because of the dry weather. When the quality of play drops far enough, we’ll need to add the cost of resodding fields to the property tax bill.

All those costs for consumers pale in comparison with the trouble ahead for farmers. Some plants do well in wet weather while others can survive dry times, but what can farmers plant when the weather is completely unpredictable? If our summers are going to be extreme – dry, wet, hot or cold – we will all pay dearly. It makes investment in climate science seem like a good deal.

Protecting our most precious commodity – sleep BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

e recently had one of those Sunday afternoons where our newborn screamed as only a colicky baby can for 15 minutes. In the same quarter of an hour, my six and seven-year-old boys started wrestling to the death on their bedroom floor, the cat vomited at my feet from the humidity, just as Ottawa received its first significant rainfall in over a month and water started pouring through the living room ceiling. The aftermath was not pretty. No resilience, no problem-solving, no understanding or empathy for the poor cat. To put it simply, we all freaked out. Much of this – or at least our reactions to it – could have been prevented by a good night’s sleep the night before. Unfortunately, with a two-week-old baby on hand, my husband and I had spent the better part of midnight to 5 a.m. rocking or feeding or singing to our crying baby. We were exhausted. I decided that day that I had to take matters in hand. There would be no more five- hour overnight stretches of screaming baby. I vowed

that from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m., I would not leave my bed, and the baby would be by my side, and she would learn to respect the precious commodity of sleep in our household. Who says you can’t sleep train a newborn? At the risk of jinxing a good thing, my method has worked. Little Darling seems to sense that it’s time for bed as soon as the TV goes off, the lullabies go on, the lights go down and we put our jammies on before the last feed of the day. Granted she tends to fall asleep in my arms, me propped upright for most of the night on a collection of cushions and pillows. But you know what? We’re sleeping. We’re sleeping so well, in fact, that I often wake up in a panic because five or six hours have gone by without interruption. I check to make sure Little Darling is still breathing – she is —and then proceed to wake her for a feed. At 6 a.m. I get up, make coffee and open the curtains before waking Little Darling for the day. She doesn’t have an opportunity to cry. She wakes up slowly as I talk to her, change her, tickle her toes and take her to the daytime feeding station in the living room. The boys generally help out with the final part of the daytime announcement by banging out the White Stripes on piano or guitar and then wrestling to the death on the living room floor. It’s only been a week. And you know babies have a tendency to alter their routines just as you get used to things. At the same time, a week is a third of Little Darling’s life. And frankly, at this stage of the game, I’ll celebrate whatever sleep I can get.

From left, Ryan, Meghan, Nancy and Carey Garrett will be the namesake family for a new surgical centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital thanks to their milliondollar contribution to the Care Grows West campaign. an increase of 60 per cent in the hospital’s operating budget and extreme growth in infrastructure and services. Schonberg said serving one of the fastest aging populations in the country, the hospital had to be prepared to meet patient

demand. “Reaching this milestone demonstrates the provincial government’s and the community’s commitment to delivering this much needed new facility that our community needs and deserves,” he said.

EMC news – As construction crews rushed to finish the new surgical centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Aug. 10, hospital staff and local politicians gathered to thank one of the donors that made it possible. The Garrett Family Surgical Centre is named after Carey and Nancy Garrett and their children Ryan and Meghan, in part for their million-dollar contribution to the hospital’s Care Grows West campaign. The new surgical centre – which was due to admit its first patient Aug. 13 – features 10 new operating room suites and 15 dialysis stations. Hospital president Tom Schonberg said the move into the new facility was being done

over the weekend to minimize disruption to patients. The opening of the surgical centre marks the completion of the new four-storey structure and the final phase of the hospital’s $126-million expansion plan. Carey, who serves on both the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation board and on the hospital’s board of directors, said the hospital provides is part of the community. “We have had a long relationship with the hospital and all volunteered here,” he said. “My wife is a nurse and has worked on a surgical floor, so this seemed like a perfect fit for our family.” Carey’s son Ryan will soon start an internship at the hospital.

Shopping centre leads way for electric car convenience brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa drivers who use electric cars to get around have got their first free spot to charge up while they run errands. “Place d’Orléans installed the first public charging station for electric vehicles in Ottawa, with free access to customers visiting the shopping mall,” said Bridlewood resident Ricardo Borba, the first owner of the Nissan Leaf – which is the first fully electric, mass-produced vehicle in Canada. “Hopefully this will set the examples for other businesses to follow.” What’s believed to be the first public electric car charger in Ottawa was installed at the Place d’Orléans Shopping Mall on July 16. “It’s being used and we’re receiving compliments from customers,” said Place d’Orléans general manager Chris St. Amand. “It’s sort of a growing community of electric car drivers.” The project started because Myers Orléans Chevrolet Brier Dodge/Metroland Buick GMC was looking for The electric car charger in the underground parking area at an Orléans location to install the Place d’Orléans Shopping Mall. an electric car charging stacation where our clients could retailer. tion.

be the number one location,” McAlear said. “A lot of people walk through Place d’Orléans from January to December and there is a clear location underground.” Neither McAlear or St. Amand were aware of any other free public charging stations currently in Ottawa. The spot is marked in the underground parking, in the first row to the left upon entering underground parking from the north side of the mall. It’s close to the carwash station that is also underground. The signs indicate that it is a spot for electric car charging and ask users to respect a two-hour parking limit. St. Amand said that there are some early issues with customers who don’t drive electric cars parking in the spot. “So we’re now putting up additional signage to say that that space is intended for electric cars only,” he said. He added that there are adjacent spaces that the charger’s cords can reach. For the electric vehicle McAlear is used to selling, the Chevrolet Volt, it takes about four hours for a full charge. “It’s meant for a top-up or replenishment,” he said. “They’re asking that they be considerate; don’t leave your vehicle there charging all day.” This is an early experiment

for the shopping mall, but management likes the idea so far and are open to expanding the program to include additional chargers in the future. The electric car community in Ottawa is small – McAlear says he sells about 10 to 12 Volts a year – but owners are connected, using message boards and mobile apps to share charging stations. While there are other

charging stations in the city, they require a credit card to pay for usage. “We were unsure about how much electricity it actually consumes but the information that we have is it’s very nominal,” St. Amand said. “We want to encourage customers to have green practices, so if we can support that, we’re happy.” With files from Jessica Cunha

World champion helps raise funds for seniors’ village Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Canada’s Sweetheart is leading a capital campaign to build a seniors village next to the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre. Canadian figure skating legend Barbara Ann Scott King was announced as one of three honourary co-chairs of the $5million capital campaign on Wednesday, Aug. 8. She will be joining overall campaign co-chairs Grete Hale and retired general Rick Hillier to lead the building choices, enriching lives capital campaign to help raise private contributions for the village. While the construction has been partially funded by the

province, Perley Rideau still needs $5 million and hopes to get the money from the fundraiser that kicks off this fall. Expansions at the facility in Alta Vista will accommodate 139 new tenants — many of whom are veterans of the Canadian Forces — with access to apartment-style assistedliving rooms by January. “I am honoured and delighted to be a co-chair of this great project,” Scott-King said as she toured the centre. “It is such a wonderful project and I hope the whole city will help support it because it is not just for veterans but for senior citizens too.” Scott-King was named “Canada’s Sweetheart” for her figure skating achievements in her teens and she is still an

Scott-King is still the only person to ever hold the European, North American, Canadian, world and Olympic figure skating titles at the same time. The Perley and Rideau health centre is already home to 250 veterans of the Second World War and 20 to 30 per cent of the new apartments will be offered to Canadian Forces senior veterans.

90,000 seniors and 23 per cent of those need help with the basic activities of daily living, such as meal preparation, shopping, personal care and housework. Both Scott-King and Hale are seniors and are well aware of the issues that are facing the age demographic today. Hale is recognized as a humanitarian and is one of Ottawa’s leading and most committed citizens, according to the centre. “It is an honour and privilege to head up this very wonderful campaign. I think of the veterans and the seniors who are going to be able to move into this affordable assisted living accommodation,” said Hale. As the number of seniors continues to surge, Hale thinks there is going to be need for adequate accommodation for seniors. “We are trying to keep them in their homes as long as possible but there comes a time when they are going to need a little bit more help,” she said. Hale is committed to do all she can to make the campaign a success. “I will do anything I can to help.

Total Home Consignment offers a unique shopping experience unlike that of your run-of-the-mill furniture store. The furniture consignment store has the layout of a furniture store with 8,000 sq. ft. of spacious floor space, combined with the low prices and unique finds of a consignment store. “They love the concept and they didn’t realize there was anything like us out there,” says Richard Abrams, who owns the store with his wife Barb, of the reactions of his customers. “When they’re coming in here they’re not going to find the same old same old from furniture store to furniture store. It’s a totally different look and everything’s unique. It’s ‘one onlys’ and things that you can’t find other places.” Total Home Consignment is a great place to find unique gifts for friends and family. The furniture and home accessories are sourced from people looking to down size, estate sales, business closings, bankruptcies, and inventory liquidations. The store also gets model home furnishings from seven of Ottawa’s finest home builders. There’s no better time than now to come into the store as they’ve received truck loads of model furniture from Minto. Abrams says the store has a high standard of what furniture they will accept, which means it can be sold as is. For those on a budget,

Total Home Consignment offers sofas, bedroom sets, kitchen sets, dining room sets, patio sets, coffee and end tables, wall units, rugs, and even exercise equipment for great prices. Abrams explains that when a used product comes into the store it starts at 50 to 60 per cent of the price of what the equivalent product would sell for new. Every 15 days the price is dropped 10 per cent until the item is sold. “When the item first comes in, it’s a great deal but if you’re patient and you’re lucky more than anything else you can get an even better deal,” says Abrams. However, he cautions that this approach can result in disappointment when a piece of furniture is snapped up by another savvy customer. At Total Home Consignment you can find antiques and collectables but also brand new furniture. As Abrams put it, “there are treasures here to be found.” Total Home Consignment is located at 1860 Bank St, Uniit 4 near the corner of Bank St. and Walkley Rd. behind the Beer Store. Hours 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and now open Sundays 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Mondays).

EMC news - Scrap tires can make dreams come true for the Sunshine Foundation of Canada. Between May 28 and June 2, Ontarians dropped off over 139,000 used tires at 72 locations across the province. These collection events raised $357,960 for the Sunshine Foundation Children’s Charity at the third annual Tire Take Back Events. The collections were organized by Ontario Tire Stewardship and the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association. The six-day recycling blitz helped divert tires from landfills while raising money to assist children with severe physical disabilities and lifethreatening illnesses fulfill a personal dream or take part in an adventure they will never forget. The collection allowance that association members receive for each tire dropped off is matched by the recyclers association and coupled with donations from registered tire haulers Liberty Tire Recycling and Trillium Tire to create an overall donation to the Sunshine Foundation of Canada. “Congratulations to Ontarians for their outstanding recycling efforts and creating the most successful tire collection event to date,” said Andrew Horsman, executive director of Ontario Tire Stewardship. “The number of tires collected nearly tripled last year’s amount, and stacked on top of each other, could be the height of more than 65 CN Towers.” Visit GreenMyTires.ca for details on registered collectors across the province.

EMC news - Mark Wales has dusty feet. Like he’s been to the beach. The problem is Wales has just been walking in a farm field; a field so dry that there’s nothing much growing where grass should be knee high or better. Wales is the president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and his Aug. 7 tour of Pinto Valley Ranch near Fitzroy Harbour was nothing but dry and dusty, like much of eastern Ontario. “It’s been dry virtually everywhere, but eastern Ontario is definitely the worst hit part of the province,” Wales said of the ongoing drought. He held an ear of corn that almost fit in the palm of his hand as he spoke to reporters at Pinto Valley. “It’s not worth putting a combine in the field to harvest it,” Wales said of the corn. Wales – who farms near Aylmer, Ont. – said the drought is affecting growers in diverse sectors, including maple syrup producers and Christmas tree growers. “The maple trees are los-

Cutback will have negative effect on horse community Continued from page 15

“The prices will be high and there simply may not be enough hay,” Wales said. High feed prices – or complete lack of feed – could prompt beef and milk farmers to sell their animals, but they won’t make much at auction. Wales said farmers in the United States have already started selling cattle because of the effects of drought, so the cattle

market is depressed. “So many farmers are downsizing, (Ontario farmers) will be selling into a declining market,” he said. HORSES HAVE TO GO

Payton Jardine sits atop Andy, one of the horses at Pinto Valley Ranch. The ranch plans to sell off nearly half its horses due to high hay prices, caused by dry weather conditions across the region. He made two cuts of hay; the second one just 10 or 20 per cent of the usual volume. And the third cut? “Not for me,” Wilson said. “Everything’s brown.” Wilson said he’s “lost faith” in any government program designed to help farmers after seeing his family lose out

when mad cow disease in Canada caused beef cattle prices to plummet. Wales said crop insurance is the first step for farmers hit by the drought. Farmers with losses not covered by insurance may get assistance from the federal government through the AgriStability pro-

to feed their animals each day and they can do the math: the hay won’t last. Twenty of the 48 horses at Pinto Valley will have to go. “We’ll survive,” said Tracey. “It’ll be nip and tuck.” She said the cutback will have further negative spinoffs, hurting the local horse community. “If kids don’t try (riding), it affects the whole equine industry,” Tracey said, adding that a number of stables that offered rides for rookies have closed in recent years. Leo Muldoon has cattle on his Dunrobin Road farm and said he hasn’t seen a summer as dry as this in more than 50 years working the land. He said most years he grows enough hay to feed his animals through the winter, but he’ll soon be a hay buyer. He’s hopeful a federal farm program will help offset some of the extra costs that lay ahead, but he’s far from certain. At 23, Kurtis Wilson is the youngest farm operator visiting Pinto Valley Ranch to meet Wales. Wilson said his father Bill doesn’t remember a year as dry as 2012. “They’re saying you have to go back to the ’30s to see it this dry,” he said. Wilson planted some cash crops to go with the usual hay this year, but the drought has cost him almost everything.

Fire damaged Carp Agricultural Society building now open for business Theresa Fritz

theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news - The business hub of the Carp Agricultural Society reopened its doors after a January fire forced the relocation of the administrative office and closure of an

upper hall. “We are open for business,” fair board manager Joyce Trafford said Monday, Aug. 13, after spending several months working out of another location on the fairgrounds property. Ottawa fire crews contained

the Jan. 28 fire to the second floor office and meeting rooms – known as Room 85 because it was added on the lower level in 1985 – as well as the attic. The dining hall and main floor office were protected from the fire. While there was damage to the exte-

rior of the building, the large wall mural on the side of the building, erected in 2008, was saved. Raising and replacing the roof was just one of the repairs required. Along with that reconstruction, a large window was installed in Room 85 facing Carp Road. While there have always been windows facing the fairgrounds, a window on the other side is something new. “I am here. We are not quite complete yet but it is coming,” Trafford said, noting she was back in her new digs Aug. 7. The move back into the regular office space could not come at a better time, as it is

Concert for Carp to benefit farmers, community Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC news - A Kanata company is holding a concert fundraiser to assist farmers in West Carleton hurt by this summer’s drought. “As we all know, and has been widely reported, with this year’s drought the farming community around Carp are in desperate need of help making ends meet,” said Richard Searle, account manager for Independent Learning Systems, the company organizing a fundraising event planned for Thursday, Aug. 23. The company was looking for a team-building activity and with several of the nearly

20 local employees living in West Carleton, a community event in support of farmers seemed a natural fit. SpandX, the ultimate ’80s band, will headline a free concert but the fun begins much earlier in the day with an-all ages talent contest, children’s events, a beer tent, barbecue and giveaways. Concert for Carp is scheduled to run 3 to 11 p.m. The event will take place at the Carp Fairgrounds and the Carp Agricultural Society has been a great help providing the venue and lots of support, said Searle. “All money raised is going to purchase feed for their animals now and over the winter

and other general support of the Carp community,” he said. Sponsors and volunteers have been quick to come out in support of the event and the area’s farmers. “We have a number of generous sponsors already lined up helping us with location, food, beer tent, events, games and donations and it’s looking like we are going to get a lot of people out,” said Searle. “It’s really about getting the numbers now.” Independent Learning Systems is organizing the fundraiser with the Kia Drive Change program.

Making Greek bread easy with a breadmaker

ne of Jeff’s aunts gave me this recipe for Greekstyle bread made in the bread machine. I tried it one day when we were having a light summer supper, and we thoroughly enjoyed the flavour combination of feta cheese, black olives and oregano. The bread is moist and keeps well for a couple of days. We didn’t quite finish the first loaf however before the last couple of slices were starting to get a bit dry. I had cooked a turkey a couple of days before and was making hot turkey sandwiches for supper. I decided to use the last of the Greek bread as the bottom layer for the sandwich since the turkey gravy would help to moisten it. The distinctive flavour of the bread transformed the hot turkey sandwiches into an entirely new and tasty dish. It was so good that I expect I’ll be making this recipe whenever I have

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff leftover turkey. This bread is also great for sandwiches. I used it one day for tuna sandwiches, and, like the turkey sandwich, they had an entirely different flavour. The amount given here makes a small loaf, about one pound. The amounts shown in brackets make a larger loaf. Jeff’s aunt recommended using a sweet bread setting on the breadmaker. I’ve also baked this using the dry milk setting when I substituted skim milk powder and water for the milk. The bread turned out fine both ways. You can leave out the black olives, but the bread will be a bit drier.

Ice box brought various wonders to farm life

f it hadn’t been for the ice house and the Barnett ice box grandfather bought, we would not have had a way to keep food from spoiling. But the ice house served another purpose as well, even though we kids were forbidden to use it for anything other than to store ice from the Bonnechere River and retrieve a block when necessary. It was a retreat on a hot day, but we had to sneak in and sneak out, as we were warned any unnecessary opening of the door would cause the ice to melt. The ice house was always built on the north side of a building, in our case it was the little barn used to house the sheep. It was further shaded too, by two big elm trees on either side, which were probably there more by accident than design. It was made of straight upand-down lumber, which had weathered to black from more than a century of use. There were no windows and the door was narrow and wide enough only to allow one body to go in at a time with the iron tongs to retrieve a block of ice when the one in the kitchen had melted down, filling the basin under the ice box with water. When the winter was at its coldest and the river had frozen solid, father would cut huge blocks of ice, pile them on the flat bottom sleigh and haul the load to the ice house. He would be at the job for days, drilling, sawing and stacking the blocks in the ice house in neat rows. Once he had enough to ensure we could survive until the next year, he

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories made many trips to the saw mill for sawdust, which the owner was glad to get rid of. Every square inch of ice was covered with the sawdust to protect it from the little bit of summer warmth that penetrated the wood walls. It was usually Audrey or Everett who were sent for a new block of ice. They could be counted on to do the job the quickest, with the least amount of light let into the ice house. It was pitch-black inside and so they worked by feel rather than by seeing what they were doing. When the house was built, a big wood slip lock was made to keep the door secure and which could be used to open and close the door from either inside or out. That was a great comfort to me, as I was always terrified of being locked inside some place and not being able to get out. That door was supposed to be opened only when a block of ice was being taken out, but that didn’t mean that was always the case. Although I was much too timid to do this on my own, I knew that my brothers would often slip into the ice house and spread out on the top blocks to cool off on a blistering hot summer day. They would wait until father

was in a field and mother was busy in the kitchen and then they would sneak open the big wood slip lock and put as much flesh as they could onto the ice. They had to be very careful to rid themselves of any sawdust when they emerged, however. Even a smidgen stuck to their overalls told the story of their adventure in the ice house and they would be given a lecture on the evils of disobedience. The ice wasn’t only for the ice box. Mother made big jugs of iced tea and Audrey would be sent for shards of ice, which would be washed thoroughly in a clean bowl and then dropped into the tea. We had never heard of ice cubes in the 1930s. For reasons which escaped me at the time, ice for the cold drink was never taken from the ice box. Then on asking my older and much wiser sister why the ice had to come from the ice house and not the ice box, Audrey said “it was fresher,” which made perfect sense to me. We could never afford an ice box, but when grandfather saw the many hardships mother had to endure when she married a back-woods farmer after living so long in a big city, he bought a brand new wood ice box in

Three Customer Friendly Programs from Hydro Ottawa Renfrew and as well as keeping our food fresh, it served as a nice piece of furniture for the kitchen. It sat kitty-corner and mother always had a potted plant on the top of it, which at the time, I thought brought a touch of elegance to the kitchen. Since I was the youngest of five, I was given jobs mother thought I was capable of doing. One was emptying the melted ice water from under the ice box. It dripped into a large white porcelain basin and I was always checking it, because if it got too full, I was sure to spill it on the kitchen floor. So several times a day, I got down on my belly, and stuck my hand in the basin to see if it was ready to be emptied. In the winter time, the water was poured into the reservoir on the end of the Findlay Oval. Anything we could do to cut down on dragging water from the pump out in the yard when the snow was knee deep, we did it. But in the summer, the water was poured on the garden or on mother’s flower beds. It was no small blessing that I never really appreciated back then; but we had the river and so we had ice. We had an ice house to store it in and so were always able to keep our perishables fresh. We had a grandfather who had enough money to buy us an ice box. We had a neighbour who was willing to let us cart away as much sawdust as we needed. We were poor, but in many ways we were blessed. Yes, indeed, we were blessed.

UNICEF launches emergency appeal to support Syrian children Organization looking to raise millions more for families needing food, supplies in the region EMC news - UNICEF has launched an urgent appeal for Canadians to support emergency efforts reaching Syrian children and their families living in crisis. UNICEF has appealed for $39 million to support its humanitarian efforts in the region. So far it has received

less than half and still needs $23 million. “The needs among children and families displaced by the violence of recent days are enormous, whether in food, water and sanitation or other basic supplies. We are doing our utmost to respond, using whatever means we have at

our disposal,” says UNICEF Syria representative Youssouf Abdel-Jelil. Despite the upsurge in fighting in Damascus and elsewhere, UNICEF and its partners continue to deliver essential aid. Since January, UNICEF has reached 190,000 people in Syria including more than 145,000 children. It’s estimated more than 1.5 million people in Syria are still in need. The deteriorating security situation and unreliable access to fuel are creating

major challenges in reaching these families. Despite this UNICEF recently delivered life saving essentials to thousands of families sheltering in schools across Damascus. Last week UNICEF also delivered a truckload of essentials supplies and medical items to an area that has seen particularly heavy fighting in the capital city. So far nearly 115,000 people who have fled Syria are now registered as refugees. UNICEF and partners

are providing assistance to these families who are now in neighbouring Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq. It is estimated half of all displaced Syrians are children and youth whose schooling has been halted and who now have limited access to basic services. Many of these children are also suffering from severe mental distress after witnessing violence and displacement. In Lebanon UNICEF is creating child-friendly spaces

and scaling up psycho-social support services to reach these children who have been traumatized by war. “We are optimistic Canadians will once again show their generosity during this crisis and support the ongoing emergency relief efforts UNICEF is scaling up across the region to help the most vulnerable children,” says UNICEF Canada’s director of international programs, Meg French.

Cycling the capital

City looks to connect its biking routes Ottawa’s new cycling ‘links’ are making it a leader in connecting cycling facilities Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - By the end of this month, there should be a ramp allowing people to wheel their bike up beside the stairs to get up the hill to cross Hartwell Locks. It’s a small, simple addition, and although it has taken eight years to make it happen, it will allow thousands of cyclists to use the locks to cross the Rideau Canal, particularly during the National Capital Commission’s Sunday Bike Days. It’s just one of thousands of small projects completed each year to tweak conditions to make life easier for cyclists in Ottawa, says Robin Bennett, the city’s project manager of cycling programs. Ottawa’s extensive network of pathways and decent complement of painted bicycle lanes allow the city to boast that it is one of the most bikefriendly cities in the country. But if the city wants to hit its target of 12,000 trips taken by bike in 2021 (there were 4,500 in 2001), it needs to link those cycling routes together. Things like the new “bike box” at the north end of Bay Street at Wellington Street are the type of thing that re-

Laura Mueller/Metroland

Innovative cycling fixes like this new ‘bike box’ at Bay Street and Wellington Street are helping put Ottawa out front of other Ontario municipalities when it comes to bicycle infrastructure. ally work to connect cycling routes, said Colin Simpson, a transportation planner at the city and project manager of the Laurier segregated bicycle lane. “It’s a great addition because it supports an important feeder line,” he said. A left turn at busy Wellington Street is the most intimidating part of cycling from Ottawa’s downtown, including the east-west Laurier segregated lane to the Ottawa River pathway and the Portage Bridge to Gatineau. Adding a bike box there to give cyclists the priority to turn left before cars is a way to make all the rest of the city

and NCC pathways and lanes more accessible and easier to use, Simpson said. Segregated lanes are the way of the future, participants heard at the Velo-City bicycle conference in Vancouver this June. They are what make the difference between improving conditions for people who already cycle, and getting new people on the roads, said Simpson, who attended the conference. “We hear from people who are taking up cycling because of this lane,” said Alex deVries, vice president of the local advocacy group, Citizens for Safe Cycling.

Unlike segregated lanes, bike boxes don’t need a trial period or “pilot project,” – they can just be done right away. That’s something Simpson wants to see more of. “We need to go further and do it faster,” he said. CYCLING LEADER

With mysterious and novel things like bike boxes popping up in Ottawa, the city is fast becoming recognized as a leader in cycling infrastructure. Buffered bike lanes on Bay Street are another Ottawa first on Simpson’s list. He wants to make the painted lines of an existing northbound bicycle

lane on Bay Street wider by painting a wider diagonal strip to the left of the bike lane, causing cars to leave more buffer room for cyclists. Another big first will be a grade-separated bicycle track along Churchill Avenue between Byron and Carling. When that road is reconstructed next year, it will have a raised track between the sidewalk and vehicle lanes that will give cyclists a feeling of safety similar to riding on the sidewalk. Being among the first in the province to construct these types of cycling facilities is giving Ottawa the edge in helping plan the provincial rules for cycling infrastructure. The upcoming bike facility guidelines, referred to as Book 18, will be completed by the end of the year, thanks in large part to the efforts of city transportation planner Robert Grimwood. “It puts us in a position to provide input on implementation … It gives us a chance to be leaders,” Grimwood said. “Ottawa has very clearly been the most engaged municipality.” There are 13 municipalities participating in drafting Book 18, which for the first time will include guidelines for how to build bicycle lanes of different styles, bike signals, “crossrides” (intersection crosswalks that cyclists are allowed to bike though) and all manner of infrastructure that could be built for bikes. Book 18 won’t provide hard and fast rules, but Grimwood said the Ontario Traffic Manual, which the document will become part of, is considered the “Bible” of infrastructure planning. “It will be used,” he said.

Battle lines drawn over Ottawa’s bicycle lanes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Not unlike neighbourhoods rallying against tall buildings, there are groups who say they like bike lanes – just not here. While cyclists can argue that small changes and a few painted lines can make all the difference in getting new cyclists on the road, some counter that maybe that’s not the best idea, and maybe the lanes aren’t making them any safer. Or, perhaps the benefits to a few cyclists don’t outweigh the frustration bicycle lanes might cause for others, such as residents, businesses or motorists. Two such groups are

BBRAGFAR (Bay/Bronson Residents Action Group for Fair Access to the Road) and the Responsible Cycling Coalition (RCC). Both make it their main business to oppose the city’s two-year pilot project testing out a curb-separated bicycle lane on Laurier Avenue West. While both groups are similar in size (around five to eight people) and in their ability to garner media attention, they oppose the bike lane for very different reasons. For some residents of Laurier Avenue West, seeing two lines of curbs bisecting the street when they look out their windows is hard to swallow. At the west end of the street, between Lyon and

Bronson, there used to be 69 parking spaces. Now there are none. The city says that section of Centretown now has more parking than before (124 spaces replaced 122), despite the removal of spaces on Laurier, because new street parking was created on adjacent streets. But that’s no comfort for many Laurier residents, who number around 2,000 in several buildings. Their concern is represented by the cumbersomely named BBRAGFAR, a small group that says there are not enough cyclists using the bike lane in their section of the street to warrant leaving the curbs up for another year of the pilot project.

“A service for which we pay taxes was taken away from us for the sake of a few cyclists,” said Norm King, one of BBRAGFAR’s five members. They want the city to keep the segregated lane farther east, but convert it into a “sharrow,” a painted shared car and bike lane, and allow parking over the sharrow markings when it’s not rush hour (Toronto is piloting that idea on College Street). There’s less traffic and therefore less risk of injury to cyclists on those blocks, so there is no need for a segregated lane – parking would be more beneficial, King says. BBRAGFAR also bemoans the lack of consultation before the lanes were put in.

But King admits he did know about the handful of public meetings he could have attended to express his opinion – but he thinks the city had a responsibility to come meet directly with Laurier residents, and no one did. Seeing snow removed from the bike lanes at the same time as the rest of the street – often before sidewalks are cleared – only serves to add to their frustration, King says. There are many elderly or disabled folks residing in the area, and the alternate loading and drop off zones don’t serve them as well as the parking spaces they grew accustomed to enjoying. See DESIGNATED, page 27

Cycling snafus

Cutting across 400series highway on-ramps to continue straight on a road or bike lane is a daunting risk for cyclists.

Cycling lanes that disappear or appear out of nowhere, like this one in the middle of O’Connor Street, create collision potential.

Sharrow markings in lanes that aren’t wide enough for both bikes and cars, like at Laurier Avenue and Elgin, Street create risk.

Debris or crumbling asphalt in a bike lane or near the curb can force cyclists into the traffic lane. For more or to report an issue: ottawabikingproblems.ca

Replacing ‘lost generation’ of cyclists Educating future cyclists – and drivers – only one piece of puzzle Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

R0011558402

EMC news – Making up for a “lost generation” of adult cyclists by encouraging kids to get on bikes is an intricate web without one silver-bullet solution, advocates say. While some bemoan the lack of cycling education in the Ontario school system, others argue that it’s more complicated than teaching kids to signal before they turn. “Putting someone through an education program doesn’t mean they’ll ride to school tomorrow,” said Jamie Stuckless, a school travel planning facilitator with Green Communities Canada. Informal cycling experience on the roads with their parents

complements the formal education kids might get through something like a bike-safety rodeo, Stuckless said. Stuckless works with 17 Ottawa elementary and high schools to come up with plans to get students to choose more active forms of transportation, but it’s an uphill battle, she said. “Many people who are parents now weren’t cyclists growing up,” she said. If kids can’t ride alongside their parents when they are

growing up, they probably won’t bother getting on a bike. By the time those kids become adults, they will be even more reticent to cycle – and far less experienced or confident when they do. Hans Moor, president of Citizens for Safe Cycling, said cycling education should be just as common as swimming lessons for kids. He grew up in the Netherlands, where lessons in school were a given. That attitude is slowly

creeping into North America, with a push for a U.K.-style “Bikeability” program in British Columbia being led by a group called Right to Bike. “It’s one of those life skills that you really need to have,” Moor said. Moor disagrees with the notion of a lost generation of cyclists. He thinks that most people have a bike in their garage or shed – they just aren’t comfortable riding it. See EDUCATION, page 28

Designated bike lanes pit cyclists against cyclists ... and drivers Continued from page 25

It’s difficult for people with mobility concerns to cross over the barriers in the middle of the street, King added. “The use of bicycles isn’t the issue,” King said. “We just don’t want to have the front of our buildings blockaded for no reason.” “Our chair has a bike,” King adds, referring to Janine Hutt, the head of BBRAGFAR. For Kanata resident Avery Burdett, there’s a big risk in encouraging inexperienced cyclists to get on the road by offering them a false sense of security in a bike lane – a mirage that’s heightened on Laurier because of the curb separating cyclists from vehicles. Burdett is a founding member of the RCC, and for him, driving (and he is careful to use that word) a bicycle is a simple and time-tested process – it’s just not one that most people bother to educate themselves about. And it’s not a skill that most people are encouraged to learn, he says. He’s what’s referred to as a vehicular cyclist, and following the principles set out by John Forester in Effective Cycling in 1976, he treats his bike like a car on the road. It’s a theory based on research that shows being a skilled cyclist is the best way to prevent injury or death, Burdett says. He rides with confidence because he knows how to,

Cyclists should learn how to ‘drive’ their bicycles before hitting the road, according to Avery Burdett, a founding member of the Responsible Cycling Coalition. Burdett says. He has taken the nationally-syndicated Can-Bike training course and he has spent years riding the roads with other cyclists in the Ottawa Bicycle Club. That’s what he thinks everyone else should do before hitting the road. He says the focus on building infrastructure for bicycles is purely political: “They want to get people out of cars – and it’s not going to work … It has to be recognized that skills will reduce the risk of people getting injured. We’re the thorn in the side of their plans.” Still, Burdett wouldn’t be upset to see more cyclists on the road – as long as they are trained to the exacting stan-

dards he holds himself to. “No one who is a committed cyclist would want to discourage people from getting on a bike,” he said. He says improvements to roads and intersections could make it easier for people to cycle – but those improvements would also benefit all road users and motorists, he added. Cycling advocacy in Ottawa seemed to go through a

shift starting about four years ago. That’s when Hans Moor took over as president of Citizens for Safe Cycling (CfSC), and it’s also around the time when the group handed over Can-Bike training courses to be run by the city. “It’s not the same group as it was,” said Burdett, who was once involved with CfSC. “It’s basically an environmental group now.” Moor, who moved to Ottawa from Holland in 1998, says his first decade or so in Ottawa gave him the impression that the people who cycle here are mainly focused on an athletic pursuit. But after he took over the advocacy group, he noticed that there were many cyclists in Ottawa who shared his mindset: that riding a bike is simply an efficient, healthy and safe way to get around. “Our message is a bit more moderate than in the past – it appeals to more people,” Moor said. Moor likens the range of cycling groups to the different types of motorists. That includes everyone R0011558956

from regular commuters to Formula One racecar drivers, he says. “Elite” cycling groups like RCC represent the cycling equivalent of Formula One drivers. CfSC leans more to the average commuter. CfSC doesn’t disagree with everything other groups are saying (Moor also thinks that more money could be spent

on cycling education), but he’s reluctant to get into debates with groups that hold an opposing view. In the end, Moor says his impression is that not many decision makers listen to the anti-bike lane or elite vehicular cycling groups. “It doesn’t have much of an impact on where cycling is going in Ottawa.”

Continued from page 26

For Orleans Ward Coun. Bob Monette, cycling education is the most important thing. He has reservations about the Laurier segregated bicycle lane due to the impact he says he has seen on business and residents. If children

are taught the rules of the road on a bike at a young age, we could avoid a lot of the drivercyclist conflict that seems to pervade Ottawa now, Monette said. Avid cycling commuter Kevin O’Donnell, who ran as the Green Party candidate for Ottawa Centre in the last

provincial election, says there is something intangible in the milestone of learning to ride a bike that parents can build on to encourage their kids to become cyclists for life. And instead of parents setting the example, O’Donnell hopes it can also work the other way around.

“A kid can convert a family to biking,” he said. But he said it’s also about infrastructure and safety. If kids don’t feel safe, and if their parents worry about their safety, they won’t be biking to school. But it’s also important to make it fun, Stuckless said.

More kids will cycle when it’s seen as an enjoyable activity for all ages, not to mention a convenient travel option. Avery Burdett, a vehicular cycling advocate with a small local group called Responsible Cycling Coalition, says it’s critical that kids follow their parents’ lead.

Building a new generation of cyclists is possible, Burdett said, with parents on board and a proper suite of cycling education in schools for children starting at a young age and continuing through to educating drivers on sharing the road with cyclists. “It would take a lot of time, effort and money,” he said, “but maybe, in the long term, it’s possible.

A tasty ride through the city Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A downtown bike tour gives participants a chance to stop and eat the cherries. The 2012 Urban Agriculture Bike Tour for Aug. 29 is organized through Just Food. The tour begins downtown and will take cyclers through Sandy Hill, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Old Ottawa East and over the Rideau River to Alta Vista for a total of a 12kilometre bike ride. The tour

is being held to inform participants the importance of having a sustainable food system in their city. Tyler Levitan has organized this year’s event and invites everyone to join the ride. “If people are interested in community gardens, and the sustainable food movement in the city, and want to meet like-minded people to learn some gardening skills and also have a really good time, they should come out,” Levitan said “It is also just a nice time to spend the afternoon on

your bike.” The ride, Levitan added, is to promote community gardens, so individuals who wish to learn more about how a community garden is built are encouraged to come out. This is the fifth year this particular bike tour has taken place by Just Food, but it’s the first time the tour will include a stop at a home owner’s garden too. Old Ottawa East resident Maryna Nowosielski has a garden unlike any other. A mix of fruit trees, roses, green

beans and strawberries, Nowosielski has planted it all together. “You can mix and match, it is good when you grow your beans in with the flowers, it contributes to proper growing and looks really pretty too,” Nowosielski said. Nowosielski’s will be a stop on Levitan’s tour. A resident of the Glengarry Road for 35 years, Nowosielski continually changes what her garden looks like and grows every year, and she has offered the same advice to new gardeners who will stop by. “Just do what ever you like, because you will be changing it anyway, but learn what likes to grow where, after that, it doesn’t matter,” she said. Levitan said he wanted to feature Nowosielski’s garden because it truly has everything, and is a sight to see.

The BUGS community garden, located at the Glebe Memorial Park, will be one of the gardens a Just Food bicycle tour will be visiting on Aug. 29. Over a four hour period, the tour will visit seven community gardens, including the stop at Nowosielski’s garden. Families are encouraged to come out, and Levitan said no one has to cycle the entire 12 kilometres if they do not wish to. “Ask questions about anything,” Levitan said. “That is

Segregated bike lanes the way of the future Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Painted bicycle lanes are a thing of the past and Ottawa is on the right track for the future by starting to build a network of segregated bike lanes, according to local delegates who attended the Velo-City cycling conference in Vancouver last month. The delegates brought that message back to Ottawa during a port-mortem session on Aug. 9 organized by Citizens for Safe Cycling. Five panelists – cycling advocates and city staffers from Ottawa – shared their thoughts after attending the conference, which is the largest cycling planning conference in the world. A main theme that emerged was the need for cities to create a network of separated bicycle lanes, said Jamie Stuckless, an active transportation planner who works with Green Communities Canada in Ottawa. “The first one that I heard repeated over and over again was the need to create a network of segregated bike lanes that actually get people where they want to go,” Stuckless said. Stuckless said she was surprised by the number of city officials from around the world who spoke to say that painted bike lanes are a thing

of the past and they are no longer investing money in that type of infrastructure. “I thought, that’s true,” Stuckless said. “That sharrow on the road might help me because I’m already cycling, but it certainly doesn’t get my mom on the road and it doesn’t get my friend and her twoyear-old son on the road.” A sharrow is a paint marking indicating that cyclists and motorists have enough room to share the lane. “Painted lines just aren’t getting new people (cyclists) on the road,” she said. “They were really talking about how if you want to make actual increases in your cycling rate … you need to look at connected networks of segregated bike lanes.” City transportation planner Robert Grimwood agreed. He said the conference re-affirmed for him that infrastructure is key to promoting cycling. But Grimwood said he also heard a message throughout the conference that cities need to move into the next phase of cycling infrastructure if they really want to make a shift in how citizens are travelling and that next phase is segregated bike lane like the city is studying on Laurier Avenue. “The stuff that we’re doing now helps people who are already on bikes … it doesn’t give us that uptick (in cycling)

Citizens for Safe Cycling president Hans Moor, left, hands a bicycle seat cover to Post Velo-City panelist Colin Simpson as a thank you for speaking at the Aug. 9 event at the Causeway Centre. we’re looking for,” Grimwood said. The last edition of Ottawa’s cycling plan in 2004 set a goal of increasing bicycle trips from 4,500 in 2001 to 12,000 in 2021. That plan is currently being updated. Another city transportation planner, Colin Simpson, said he learned that the city needs to reverse its thinking. Ottawa currently sees segregated lanes as a nice extra perk, while things like painted lanes, cycling maps and bike parking are “must-haves.” In the future, segregated lanes need to become the “must-haves,” while everything else should be “nice to have,” Simpson said. Another major message coming out of the conference was the huge improvement in

cyclist safety that can result from a reduced speed limit. Stuckless pointed out an interesting statistic she discovered at the conference: if a cyclist is hit by a vehicle travelling at 50 kilometres per hour, there is an 80 per cent chance the cyclist will be killed; how-

ever, if the vehicle is travelling at 30 kilometres per hour, that risk of death goes down to just 10 per cent. The safety benefits are great, Stuckless said, but lowering the speed limits in urban cores would also create a more enjoyable atmosphere for cycling, which would make more people want to hop on a bike. Grimwood also said it was very clear to him that reducing the speed limit is the best thing a city can do to make roads safer for cyclists and all road users. The conference re-affirmed that Ottawa is heading in a “good direction” and is emerging as a leader for cycling in Canada, he said. ANNUAL MEETING

Moor also announced the

speakers for Citizens for Safe Cycling’s annual general meeting on Oct. 16. Trinity-Spadina NDP MP Olivia Chow will speak about her private member’s bill pushing for transport truck side guards to protect cyclists from being pulled under trucks. A professor from the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech’s Alexandria Center, Ralph Buehler, will also speak. Buehler is an active transportation expert whose research focuses on comparing land-use planning and transportation policies in Europe and North America. The meeting will begin with a 6 p.m. meet and greet at the Tom Brown Arena in Mechanicsville. The meeting itself will being at 7 p.m. with a re-cap of the year’s activities and achievements.

Philip Montessori speaks out in the aftermath of Nepean academy closure Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – The plight of parents whose children were displaced after the closure of the Canadian Montessori Academy has attracted the attention of advocate Phillip Montessori. Phillip, whose grandmother Maria invented the teaching philosophy that is being used in public and private schools worldwide, said the situation at CMA is what motivated him to found the Montessori Corporation in 1996. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli has been in talks with local private schools to take in the pupils who parents paid tuition at CMA, but Philip said parents should be careful when selecting a new school for their child. The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) was taken over by Phillip’s aunt in 1981. “One of the greatest mistakes she made was not franchising or regulating Montessori schools,” Phillip said, adding that in some cases the desire to educate took a back seat to financial gain. The Nepean private school, which also housed the Tiny Tots Montessori daycare, was placed in receivership by an Ontario court on July 23 due to nearly $2 million in debt owed to the Canada Revenue Agency, the City of Ottawa and the Business Development Bank of Canada. The courtappointed receiver closed the school’s doors, leaving dozens of parents scrambling to find daycare and schooling for their children. But aside from the financial woes, former employee Stephanie Cummings alleges the basics of Montessori education were not being followed at the school. Cummings said the ratio of toddlers to caregivers was so high that following the philosophy was nearly impossible. Both Cummings and Jackie Properzi – whose young son was expelled from the school in early May – said there could be as many as 18 children to two or three caregivers. Another parent whose daughter attended the daycare, David Salamanca, said that his wife was asked to watch children at the daycare once when she came to collect their child. “She was furious,” he said. Cummings said an ideal child-to-caregiver ratio for Montessori education should be four or five toddlers to one caregiver. Philip said the core value of an school following the philosophy should be to educate all children regardless or their race, religion or financial status. He said some schools forget that Maria began her work with the impoverished children in the slums of Rome. The motivation of the Montessori Corporation – which he founded in 1996 – was continue his grandmother’s work. “It seems the damage done

The closure of a local private school has many parents left without daycare wondering how to tell a good school from a bad one. by these illegitimate schools has become another task to focus on,” he said. Phillip said his aunt retired from AMI’s board of directors in 2005. “That’s when things with the AMI and AMS (American Montessori Society) began to get out of control and rogue Montessori schools began to appear around the world, most of them using the name Montessori and pretending to teach the Montessori method just so they could make a profit,” Phillip said. Private schools are not governed by the provincial Ministry of Education and as such are not inspected. CMA was listed as a private school with the ministry. Ministry spokesperson Gary Wheeler said the province doesn’t inspect private schools or their facilities. The Tiny Tots daycare, because it existed before the Day Nurseries Act was put into legislation in 1990 was also exempt from provincial requirements. “The private school is currently exempt from the requirement to obtain a DNA licence as a result of a 1993 memorandum issued jointly by the Ministry and of Education and the then Ministry of Community and Social Services,” Wheeler said in June. Floyd Creech, president of the International Association for Montessori Educators confirmed in June that CMA is not a member of the organization – which is a resource

for Montessori teacher education programs. The school had listed their affiliation with the organization on their website. Creech wouldn’t comment on the specific practices of the CMA, but did say there are generally accepted guidelines parents can consider when checking out schools. HOW TO CHOOSE

“Many times individual Montessori schools will have their own code of ethics by which they operate,” Creech said in an email. “IAME definitely does not participate in or judge the operations of specific Montessori schools. It is not the mission of our organization.” The guidelines Creech suggests investigating include a commitment to the student that encourages independent action in the pursuit of learning. Another tenet is the commitment to developing policy that supports the AMS and AMI. Salamanca, who has since moved his daughter to another Montessori school, said that he talked to parents, staff and faculty in deciding to enroll her. “I really did my homework,” he said. “You learn a lot talking to the staff.” While CMA promised that teachers were trained as Montessori educators, Cummings said only she and one other teacher were trained in the practices when she left in

May. Lester de Mel, the co-owner and business manager for the school, said in June that each level or classroom had a head teacher that was trained in Montessori education. The school ran training for Montessori educators for a number of years until receiving a couple of restraining orders from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities for operating an unapproved private career college. The training program was shut down in January 2010. “This school is not a registered private career college and therefore it is not offering vocational programs that have been approved by the private career colleges branch of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities,” said Gyula Kovacs, a spokesperson for the ministry. BDO Canada Ltd. the courtappointed receiver, is currently seeking to sell the property at 70 Fieldrow St. according to a spokesperson for the company. The property was listed with the CLV Group in early July for $3.2 million, which would pay off the back taxes, the Business Development Bank of Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency, with some money left over to pay off parents who prepaid their tuition for the 2012-13 school year. As unsecured creditors, parents would be last in line to recoup any money owed to them.

PUBLIC MEETING rE: 1131 TErON rOAD, AUGUsT 27Th 7 – 9:30 PM, MLACAk CENTrE There will be a presentation, by the property owner, of the plans submitted for 1131 Teron Road. The plans include 3 storey townhouses adjacent to Bethune Condominium and an apartment complex varying from 10 to 15 storeys adjacent to the hydro easement. This will be your opportunity to hear the details of the proposal and ask questions of the owner and his consultants. Like many residents, I believe this is a much higher density than the site can hold and is completely against the existing character of the community. I am working with the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association on responses to the proposal. Residents who have concerns or who support the proposal should send their comments to the City planner at Marc.Magierowicz@ottawa.ca with a copy to Marianne.wilkinson@ottawa.ca.

OFFICIAL PLAN rEVIEWs UNDErWAY City Council has approved the statements of work for updates to the Official Plan, the Transportation Master Plan and the Infrastructure Master Plan. These are the documents that guide how and where the City will grow over the years to come, especially focusing on the next 20 years. The transportation planning work will include updates to the City’s pedestrian and cycling plans as well as a prioritization of transit (including light rail) and road projects. The Official Plan update will be a review of the document, rather than a full revision. Main areas of focus will be on: ensuring that future urban and suburban intensification projects are built to a higher level of urban design; encouraging the redevelopment of properties around Tunney’s Pasture Station to Blair Station as part of the City’s LRT project; prioritizing infrastructure rehabilitation projects to areas of the City undergoing intensification; reviewing Ottawa’s supply of employment lands to ensure that it aligns with the goals of Invest Ottawa; and, developing unique growth strategies for each of Ottawa’s rural villages. It is not expected that this review will require changes to Ottawa’s urban boundary, as a preliminary analysis indicates, there is an adequate supply of land for residential and commercial development already within the urban area. This will be confirmed in the fall when Council adopts the City’s future population projections. There will be public consultations on the updates to these plans beginning later this year and continuing next year. The updated documents are scheduled to be before Council for consideration by the end of 2013.

Public asked to join search for swifts EMC news - As their name suggests, chimney swifts make their homes in chimneys in urban neighbourhoods throughout Ontario. Chimney swifts are experiencing steep declines across their North American range. Bird Studies Canada and its partners are looking for volunteers to help search for nesting locations. The chimney swift is a small, sooty-coloured bird that can be observed in most urban areas, flying overhead in quick, jerky movements, making a high-pitched chittering call. This bird is federally and provincially designated as a threatened species. Chimney swift numbers have declined by over 90 per cent over the last four decades. The Ottawa Stewardship Council, the Rideau Valley

Conservation Authority and Bird Studies Canada have partnered to learn more about the declines and their causes in Ottawa. The group is looking for help pinpointing chimney swift nesting locations in the City’s urban core, and its rural villages and hamlets. Over the next few weeks, keep an eye on the sky and on chimneys. If you happen to see or hear swifts, especially near sundown, look for an open chimney (no cap) in the vicinity, and note the address. If you have a few minutes, wait and see whether any birds enter the chimney. If they do, please report it online at www.surveymonkey. com/s/OntarioSwiftWatch or email OntarioSwiftWatch@ birdscanada.org.

“Whether you see a single chimney swift or several of them entering a chimney, it is

important that we know about that chimney,” says Kristyn Richardson of Bird Studies

Sharks make a splash in city Cheerleading club opens Ottawa location Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - The Cheer Sport Sharks have made a splash in Ottawa. The competitive cheerleading club, which took over the former Capital City Storm this summer, is enjoying steady growth in the city’s west end. The Sharks are based out of Cambridge, Ont., and also offer programs in Ancaster, Ont. The newest location, on Iber Road between Kanata and Stittsville, offers competitive, recreational and tumbling programs, as well as camps, clinics and birthday parties. For the Riems, cheerleading is a family affair. Sam Riem, her husband, and their four children are all Sharks. “It’s a family thing,” said Riem, who’s been a member at the Iber location for the past eight years. “They love it. Absolutely, hands down, they love it.” Being a part of the Sharks helps to build self confidence, she said, adding it also teaches members how to work with people in a team-based environment. “Your teammates become your sisters,” said Riem. SECOND FAMILY

Kaitlyn McCaughan is dedicated to her craft. A member of the senior team – two-time national champions – she sat on the sidelines on Aug. 8, watching as her teammates practiced lifts.

She said she was at the practice “So I learn all the new techniques. So I don’t fall behind.” The 14-year-old underwent knee surgery and didn’t want to miss out on training. She said she’ll be out for about three more weeks and can’t wait to hit the mats again. “I really love the tumbling,” said the Sacred Heart Catholic High School student. “I like the team element, they become like your second family.” Kaitlyn said competing is one of her favourite aspects of cheerleading. “It’s just an amazing feeling to be on stage and hear everyone cheering for you.” TRY IT

Kelly McCarney, program director and coach, said cheerleading has multiple benefits, drawing from gymnastics, dance, stunting and tumbling. “It offers so much,” she said. “It’s fun though, finding new things to teach the kids.” She added they have members from all over the city, including from Manotick, Nepean, Rockcliffe and Carleton Place. No experience is necessary to become a cheerleader, said McCarney, adding they run programs for people ages three and up. Anyone interested in becoming a Shark can sign up to try a class free of charge. “It’s not just one sport,” said Riem. “That’s something we have to offer – it’s a mix.” For more information, visit www.cheersportsharks.com.

EMC sports - Ottawa Fury Soccer Club owner John Pugh was a happy man watching six of his former players celebrate the Canadian women’s soccer

team’s bronze-medal win on Thursday, Aug. 9. A last-second goal by Diana Matheson, who played for the Fury for three seasons, secured a 1-0 victory over France, giving Canada its first-ever medal in a traditional women’s team

sport since 1936. “Seeing Diane Matheson score that goal that won Canada a bronze medal was obviously a great delight,” said Pugh. See FURY, page 40

Fury coach proud of former players-turned-Olympians Continued from page 39

R0011559851_0816

In a game that was totally dominated by the French side, Canada had a single scoring opportunity — and made the most of it at City of Coventry Stadium. “It was clear the game was not going our way while playing the team that beat us 4-0 in the last World Cup. I think it was nice that someone like Diane put the ball in the back of the net, because she is a hardworking player,” said Pugh. Matheson was one of the six Ottawa Fury bronze medal-

winning alumni. Others on the team included Robyn Gale, Carmelina Moscato, MarieEve Nault, Kelly Parker and Rhian Wilkinson. Pugh said Matheson is a very technical player, very skillful, and a great person. “She was coming back from a very serious injury. She did not actually know she would make it to the Olympics,” said Pugh. So far, 15 former Fury players have played for the Canadian national team, according to Pugh. “One of our objectives al-

ways has been to take the players that we are lucky to have and try give them the best opportunities we can,” he said. The women of Canada’s Olympic soccer team, who had been through an unprecedented emotional wringer last week, were celebrating, as they never have before. And no one wanted it to end. “It was like a dream out there,” said Matheson. “You see someone, you hug them, you have a moment; I think that happened about 35 times and then you go around again.”

The dramatic 92nd-minute goal came after the ball landed at the feet of Matheson, who kicked the ball into an open net, ending a half that had been dominated by the French. “I have no idea what happened,” said Matheson, whose goal — incredibly — came on Canada’s only shot on goal for the game. “I can’t remember it, I think the ball came down the left and I was in the right place at the right time. “The ball was right there, the net was basically open, it definitely was in slow motion...

it feels unreal right now.” The victory followed a heartbreaking 4-3 semifinal loss to the United States on Monday, Aug. 6. During the semfinal, Canadian captain Christine Sinclair scored a hat trick and gave Canada the lead on three different occasions, only to see the U.S. reply each time. “If we needed confirmation that Sinclair is one of the best if not the best player in the world, we certainly got it,” said Pugh. Pugh said scoring a hat trick against a team that most people will agree is the most powerful in the world “was quite amazing.” “She had a scarce number of opportunities and she took them all. In addition, they were

all excellent finishes in each case,” he said. The owner of the Fury said that what had happened with the Olympics is a perfect prelude to what he considers the main event – the 2015 Women World Cup, which will be hosted by Canada. Pugh thinks hosting that tournament will do a tremendous amount for women soccer. “There were close to four million people, sometimes watching the Canada-US game,” he said. People who have never watched a soccer game in their lives tuned-in to that game and got an enormous surprise,” said Pugh. With files from Star Wire Services

Fast-growing dog sport finds a home in Horton EMC news - All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standing between Taz, an oilblack Labrador retriever from Quebec City, and 40 feet of shimmering pool water is a long wooden dock and the ready, set, go bark of his owner Mike Chiasson. But this is no ordinary pooch leaping off the dock at the cottage. This is â&#x20AC;&#x153;dock jumpingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an international canine sporting event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and there are world records at stake here. Through the din of dozens of yapping dogs watching poolside and the blues rock blasting through speakers, Chiassonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice booms out as Taz bolts toward the water: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, Taz! Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, Taz! Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, Taz!â&#x20AC;? This is the world-record holder in the Dock Dogs Big Air event. His 31-foot leap last month at the Canadian dock jumping regionals in Cornwall blew away the competition and secured him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Chiasson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a spot in the world finals this November in Dubuque, Iowa. As Chiasson tosses an orange toy high into the air, Taz, in a Canadian flag body suit, lunges at it and splashes down 24 feet, 9 inches away. His trainer shakes his head. A sub-par performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually consistent at 27 or 28 feet,â&#x20AC;? Chiasson says later Saturday. Here at Mists of Avalon in Horton just outside Renfrew, in a three-day national Dock Dogs event, Taz is unquestionably the pre-eminent pooch. Nearly 100 dogs from Ontario, Quebec and upstate New York travelled to Avalon Ranch, a dog sport and grooming centre on Lochwinnoch Road. Chiasson drove here in a brand new RV, which he purchased to haul his family and three dogs across North America for dock jumping competitions. The Horton event was his sixth this year and he plans to attend another four, at least, before Dubuque. Dock Dogs, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest dock jumping circuit, runs dozens of events each year in the U.S., Canada, Brit-

ain and Australia. Event organizer Bob Dewire says more than 20,000 dogs have competed since the organization was founded in 1999. On the surface, dock jumping seems remarkably straightforward, no different than luring a dog off a cottage raft. But, like any organized sport, there are rules. Dogs must be at least six months old to enter any of the three competitions: Extreme Vertical, which measures jumping ability; Speed Retrieve and Big Air. Owners, of any age, must sign an injury liability waiver beforehand. In Big Air, which was on display Saturday, dogs have 90 seconds to jump from the dock without any physical interference from humans. Owners can throw any kind of floating toy as bait; food or live animals are not allowed. The rule was changed years ago after an Arkansas owner heaved a caged live raccoon, according to Dewire. Distance is measured using a 60-frame-per-second camera set up next to the pool. Images are transmitted to a laptop, where marking software pinpoints to the inch how far a competitor jumped. Judges look for where the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear end hits the pool. There are, of course, inevitable problems when dogs mix with water. One German short-haired pointer named Hoyt whined uncontrollably at the end of the dock while his owner pleaded with him to take the plunge. And Mollie, a bouncy four-and-a-half-yearold border collie mix, seemed to enjoy swimming more than jumping, much to the chagrin of organizers. Chiasson, who competes in a burnt orange â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tazâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; t-shirt and receives sponsorship from a local pet store, admits he takes dock jumping far more seriously than most. He pushes Taz through a â&#x20AC;&#x153;body builder regimeâ&#x20AC;? of squats and tries to establish a canine mania called â&#x20AC;&#x153;toy driveâ&#x20AC;? by repeatedly teasing his dog with a toy. But many who enter competitions are simply seeking exercise for their pets or searching for camaraderie with other dog lovers.

Already, Hunter was nailing 20-foot jumps Saturday. Mists of Avalon, held on a seven-acre field dotted with vendors selling dog trinkets and homemade banana chocolate chip bread, lacked the haute-chien snobbery of the prim dog show scene.

EMC sports - The thrill of victory and agony of defeat played out together within a matter of a few seconds for the Canadian men’s 4x100metre relay team on Aug. 11 at the Olympic Stadium in London. Ottawa’s Oluseyi Smith and teammates: Justyn Warner, Gavin Smellie, and Jared Connaughton had finished third at the London Games, catapulting themselves from near obscurity and onto the medal podium. It appeared as though the four men had won Canada its 19th medal of the 2012 London Games, crossing the line third behind powerhouses Jamaica and the United States, but the team was disqualified for a lane violation against Connaughton, who stepped on the line while he was passing the baton to anchor Justyn Warner. The Canadians soon went from celebrating with flags draped around them, to being astonished and distraught, all either close to or in tears. “I don’t even remember what it felt like now, all I feel right now is disappointment,” said Smith, when asked what it felt like when they thought they had won the bronze. The 25-year-old former student at Fielding Drive Public School and Brookfield High School in south Ottawa, said that everybody was going into this with so much expectation, and some people didn’t think they could do it. “They were calling us to come in fifth or sixth, but we rallied against the best teams in the world and we figured we were on the podium. It’s

like we let everyone down, said Smith. While the Jamaicans and Americans were battling it out for first as expected - Usain Bolt brought Jamaica home in a world-record time of 36.84 – Warner’s strong finishing kick moved Canada up and into third place, behind the U.S. Or so they had thought. Instead, after the disqualification, Trinidad and Tobago was elevated to the bronze medal position. “I hope that there’s something we can do about that because that sucks, that just sucks,” said Warner, referring to a protest Canada lodged to contest the decision. “To have a medal like that and just have it taken away, it sucks.” The Canadian team, started off by Brampton’s Gavin Smellie, left the track with a variety of emotions, including

Gorgeous glorious garlic on display at annual festival Kate Glynn

EMC lifestyle - Crowds streamed into the Carp Farmers’ Market this past weekend as the scintillating clove took centre stage for the 13th annual garlic festival. The beautiful bulb was on display and a featured guest at the tasting table where visitors huddled to experience this year’s harvest. More than what’s hot and

what’s not, the allium sativum has become a gourmet’s delight attracting new connoisseurs to the table each year. With more than 60 varieties; flavour, nuance, fragrance, strength and subtleties are all taken into consideration when selecting garlic to be featured on its own or in a favourite dish. Local farmers were happy to share this year’s bounty

with visitors but there is one fan in the area that is unwanted, the leek moth. A small reddish-brown moth with a white triangular mark on the middle of its wings has been causing concern for local farmers since early 2000. The leek moth is considered a serious pest in some parts of Europe where it originates. The invasive species lays small, hard to detect

eggs on the leaves of allium plants including; onions, leek, chives, green onion, shallot and all varieties of garlic. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae burrow into the plant leaving a small hole and sawdust like trail behind. The larvae eat their way out of the garlic, going further into the plant where they attack the bulb, turning into a moth towards the end of the growing season.

“If this happens you will notice a hard brown-black surface when you open the garlic. While it doesn’t destroy the garlic-the remainder is edible-we do not sell it. The buyer is paying top dollar, so we want to deliver top product,” garlic grower John Moore stated. Moore operates Wolfgrove Garlic, a farm located halfway between Almonte and Hopetown.

Moore said his crops did experience some damage this year but it was minimal, stressing it is still a concern. “This year you will remember it was a mild March with temperatures reaching almost 26 degrees Celsius.. The moth becomes active with the warm temperatures, then we had frost in April and that cut them back. It hasn’t been nearly as bad as in previous years,” he explained.

EMC news - For more than 30 years, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 245 has hosted an annual fly-in breakfast for the general public and aircraft enthusiasts at the Carp Airport. But things changed this year. Instead of making the breakfast itself, the club brought in a local catering club to serve food and refreshments, allowing the club to focus its efforts on hosting an open house. The change gave members the time to move around this Sunday, Aug. 12, and do what they love – talk about flying. Curtis Hillier helped organize the open house which he hopes will result in more members for the club and the sport. Workshops and demonstrations were set up around the grounds to inspire interest in aviation as well as reveal how accessible flying can be. Club members promoted the Young Eagles Program and introduced a similar program for adults, in the works for the near future. Jennifer Hillier ran the breakfast last year. She is the first to admit how much easier planning has been, pointing out the fact that she didn’t have to do the shopping this year. “And there are certainly more volunteers, now that they are being asked to talk about airplanes and not stand in a bacon pit,” she added. Stone Soup Foodworks, an Ottawa based catering company, was onsite to provide food and refreshments and fill the

gap the change has left. Based at the University of Ottawa, the renovated chip wagon travels during the summer providing local and healthy organic meals at events. Owner Jacqueline Jolliffe described a menu that is her trademark – ‘Slow Food. Fast’. She said she noticed a gap in the high end food industry using convenience and 18 months ago began, “an ethical approach to offer affordable tasty choice that is convenient”. The simple breakfast menu consisted of sausage from heritage breed large English pigs, Bekings eggs scrambled, Rideau Bakery bread and a homemade tomato and pepper salsa and organic black beans. Not having to flip eggs meant that members had a chance to meet and speak with a special visitor to the open house. Judy Kingsford arrived before 9 a.m. Sunday morning. The 82-year-old Carp resident has not been to the airport in years and for her it was a trip back in time as she pointed out the many changes to her old hang out. She recalled when the she helped build the foundation nearly 40 years ago in preparation for the hangar that was to come from Rockcliffe Aviation. She was good friends with the original 10 pilots that each put in $100 to start up the club many years ago she said. “They nicknamed me the whip for keeping them working. It was such fun, I adored every minute of it,” she recalled.

Helping make memories last a lifetime Studio exhibit to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - An art exhibit from local Old Ottawa South business owner and photographer Jérôme Scullino aims to help fund Alzheimer’s research at the University of Ottawa. The Art for Alzheimer’s exhibition on Aug. 19 will support the non-profit foundation You and Me for Memories, a foundation dedicated in raising money for Alzheimer’s disease research. Jérôme Scullino Photography Studio in Old Ottawa South will feature selections from Scullino’s personal work, Les Invisibles, a collection of photographs of the elders from a small town in France. The feature photograph, one of an elderly couple embracing, highlights the impacts of a disease such as Alzheimer’s said studio manager Ashleigh Birkett. Scullino, not shy to offer his help when it comes to help fundraise for a cause, jumped at the chance to help the organization. “It is important to the studio

to give back to the community any way we can,” Birkett said. “From someone who comes to our studio or even ourselves, we have all been affected by this disease and we want to help.” Birkett added it is also important to the studio to give back to the community. You and Me for Memories is a volunteer group that raises money for Alzheimer’s research done by Dr. Richard Bergeron, a physician with the University of Ottawa’s faculty of medicine. The foundation was created in 2008 by St-Jean’s brother, David, and his friend, Bruce Levis, who both had mothers who suffered from the disease. At one time, the group raised all its money through one annual fall gala, but now holds several small fundraising events throughout the year at local long term care homes. This will be the first businessorganized fundraiser for the foundation. Over the past four years the organization has raised more than $175,000. St-Jean said the goal this year will be to sell more than

1,000 tickets, which are on sale for $80 each. Karen St-Jean, the foundation’s director of media relations and events sponsorships, said the idea for the fundraiser arose when she approached the photography studio for a donation for their annual fall gala, An Evening to Remember. AN EVENING TO REMEMBER

Scullino, who also had a family member suffering from Alzheimer’s, showed St-Jean his photographs taken of an elderly couple embracing from the Les Invisibles series. “I started to cry, it reminded me of the way my father was with my mother,” St-Jean said. “It was when I saw the photograph that a conversation started about the possibility of holding an event at the studio.” Briket agreed that it was through the emotional conversation of what it is like to have a family member live with the disease which led the studio to offer to hold the one day fundraising event. This isn’t the first time that the photographs of Les Invisibles have been on display, Brikett added, but it is the first time the photos will be displayed the way Scullino wants them to be. “The studio felt being able

Jérôme Scullino

An intimate moment showing an elderly couple embracing is but one of a series of photographs by Jérôme Scullino. Part of a series called Les Invisibles, the photograph will be on display during a fundraising event at Scullino’s studio on Aug. 19. The exhibition aims to raise money for Alzheimer’s disease research. to exhibit the photos would bring awareness to the disease and to the studio. It is a project of Jérôme’s (Scullino’s) that is very dear to him, they have never been shown the way he wanted it to be, and this is his chance,” Brikett said. The staff of three began canvassing the area, from local businesses to residents to inform them about the upcoming fundraiser as well as

gather more gifts for the final draw. All the proceeds from the draw will go to the foundation and Scullino will donate half of the proceeds from any photograph prints sold to the foundation. The exhibition will also feature a draw, where the chance to win one of Scullino’s print, along with other prizes will be handed out.

Tickets to enter the draw are $20. The event is scheduled to run from 1 to 5 p.m. at 1171 Bank St. St-Jean said people can also donate to the foundation online at http://www. youandmeformemories.ca or attend the fifth-annual You and Me for Memories gala, An Evening to Remember at the Ottawa Convention Centre on Sept. 29.

Pop-up Park aims to teach people about sustainable living Park made up of byproducts from used tires Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - An eco-friendly organization wants people in Ottawa to learn all about where used tires go. The group plans to create a mini-park in two spaces of a parking lot in the Byward Market near the intersection of Dalhousie and George streets on Aug. 19, with a bench sitting on a path surrounded by flowers and mulch – all made out of recycled rubber. Ontario Tire Stewardship Andrew Horsman said this park is his organization’s chance to showcase what happens to a recycled tire. The executive director said he wants the city of Ottawa to learn about the products which will be featured at the park, aiming to have the municipality begin to use eco-friendly products such as used rubber when building parks, curbs or play areas in the city. “The pop-up park gives people the idea of what real world use can be of their old tires,” Horsman said. “What we are trying to do with this space is to inform people of where their scrap tires go, they don’t get burned - they

get turned into sustainable products.” The Ontario Tire Stewardship is a non-profit organization responsible for developing and applying the use of Ontario’s used tire program and is funded by industry organizations. Horsman said the goal of the event in Ottawa is to educate people on how rubber can be used as an alternative building material for construction of city parks or roads. A recent survey conducted by Ontario Tire Stewardship found 89 per cent of Ontarians felt their communities would benefit from the use of recycled tire products in community projects. The event highlights sustainable living and maximizing recycled rubber products, turning them into everyday items including rubberized tiles, sidewalks, mulch and roof shingles, Horsman added. “It is taking place in a parking lot, taking up parking spaces, to also highlight the need to use other modes of transportation,” Horsman said. The eco-friendly mini-park will be open to the public from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Byward Market will have a rubberized pop-up park available for residents to test out on Aug. 19. The Ontario Tire Stewardship has organized the event in an effort to showcase just how a used tire can be recycled for everyday use. ADVERTISEMENT

Some change is in order, Aries. You have realized it for some time now, but this week it must come to fruition. Think about the way you want to approach this.

This is the week to shop for something new, Libra. It may be a new wardrobe, some new furnishings, or even a new car. Your purchasing power is high right now.

Taurus, you are on an emotional roller coaster and don’t know how you will feel from one second to the next. Figure out your goal for each day and then go along for the ride.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, you feel like staying in a dream world surrounded by a fence of your own making. But the reality of work and family life has to set in at some point.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

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.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, something important has passed but you are still reaping the benefits. Bask in the afterglow as much as you can because it can’t last forever.

There is something in the stars this week pushing you to make a change, Cancer. The change may be as simple as wearing your hair a new way or as significant as changing careers.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Things are off to a rough start this week, but better days are right around the corner. Keep thinking about the good times ahead. They will be here before you know it. Virgo, it’s time to reconsider a difficult situation. If you still hold to a particular belief, you could be limiting your possibilities. Adopt a new point of view to gain a different perspective.

Capricorn, you may find you’re struggling a little to define your identity, but things will fall into place soon. You’re an ecclectic mix of attributes, anyway. Aquarius, maintain a positive attitude this week and you’ll benefit greatly from having done so. Once you get it right, everything will click. Pisces, for one reason or another, some issues will go unresolved this week. They can wait, so don’t worry.
