Centenarian in step with mall walkers Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Augustin Tomas has always lived an active lifestyle, whether as a farmer in the Philippines, a single parent to his children or now as an In Club Mall Walker.

After hitting triple digits on Aug. 9. Tomas expects to stay just as active.

Hazeldean Mall’s walking club celebrated Tomas’

100th birthday with an early morning walk and cake cutting on Aug. 15.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley was on hand to deliver certificates from Mayor Jim Watson, Premier Kathleen Wynne and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, congratulating Tomas on his birthday, making him the oldest member of the walking club.

Community - A free retreat for those grieving the death of a loved one hopes to ease the pain by sharing resources and experiences during day trips in early September and October.

The Care and Share Bereavement Retreats, hosted by Hospice Care Ottawa, feature a day of sharing experiences as well as relaxation at the Galilee Retreat Centre in Arnprior on Sept. 10 and Oct. 1.

The idea is to give those who have recently lost a loved one a chance to talk about what they have gone through, to ďŹ gure out where they are in their bereavement and learn to take

time for themselves again, said Sandy Curtis Arnot, a support care nurse with Hospice Care Ottawa who oversees the bereavement support program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bereavement retreat itself is a very gentle, nurturing kind of day,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Retreat participants leave the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on 110 McCurdy Dr. by bus at 8:30 a.m. both days and begin the day with a workshop to give people a chance to share, learn coping tips and receive information on grief resources available to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to talk about things that that person needs to talk about.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For one individual it might be the actual circumstances of

what happened that day of the death and for other people â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adjusting to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role,â&#x20AC;? said Curtis Arnot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are no longer a husband or a wife for instance, (that means) making changes in your daily life if you have been the caregiver to someone and they are no longer there.â&#x20AC;?

The sudden hole created by the loss of someone can make it very difďŹ cult for people to adjust to their new reality, said Curtis Arnot. But sharing experiences and coping strategies with those who have gone through something similar is a very valuable, she said.

‘He wants to do everything himself’ Continued from page 1

More than a few at the party asked Tomas about the secret to his longevity. He said the key is staying active and independent, lots of praying, and plenty of Betel nut, a common snack in South Asia.

“I’m happy, very happy,” said Tomas of turning 100, saying keeping active has helped him to stay fit and mentally healthy as well.

Coming from a farming background in the town of Bambang in the Nueva Vizcaya province of the Philippines, Tomas has always enjoyed the outdoors and working with plants, said his daughter, Resie Miranda.

Tomas continues to maintain his own garden in Kanata, she said.

“He loves gardening; he said it makes him feel young.”

Tomas has also been a single parent since Miranda was very young, taking care of her and her siblings. Though it’s now Miranda’s turn to take care of him, there is very little for her to do,

Centenarian Augustin Tomas, centre, has his picture taken with friends and family from the In Club Mall Walkers group as Nisha Mapara, the club’s co-ordinator, right, looks on, during the club’s celebration for Tomas at the Hazeldean Mall on Aug. 15.

she said.

“He wants to do everything himself,” said Miranda, including making his own meals when she’s away, walking the family dog, taking the bus by himself to the Hazeldean Mall for his early morning walk and various chores around the house.

His health is also remarkably strong, with “the blood pressure of a 20-year-old,” said the walking club’s co-ordinator, Nisha Mapara during the club’s celebration. At his birthday celebration on Aug. 9, many of the 104 guests said, “The way he looks, he will be 110,” said Miranda.

Spaces remain for bereavement day trip Continued from page 2

“Often, in your regular life, people don’t know someone who has maybe suddenly lost their spouse or suddenly lost their daughter,” said Curtis Arnot.

“It’s helpful to meet people who are walking that same type of path.”

After the hour-long morning segment, the rest of the day is about relaxation, with yoga, reiki, massages, art therapy and a forest walk, which

tends to be the highlight of the retreat, said Curtis Arnot.

These activities help participants to think about their own well-being again, she said, as many have been taking care of their ailing loved one for an extended period.

“They take away pieces like the importance of making time for themselves or doing things that are important to them or something kind to themselves, because if they have been

a caregiver up to that loss, often people have put their own personal needs and interests on hold for sometimes a very long time,” said Curtis Arnot.

Ultimately, it’s often the sharing that makes the biggest difference, she said. “(Participants) are often really surprised at how generous the volunteers have been and how much there is to be gained just by sharing that bit of information with another human being who is actually going to listen to

them and be nurturing and kind.”

The day ends at 4:30 p.m. when participants are brought back to Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice.

There are still plenty of spaces left for both retreats, said Kristina VothChilds who organizes the events.

There is room for 35 guests each day.

Help needed to outfit hundreds of kids for return to school Caring and Sharing Exchange

The month of September is coming up fast, and hundreds of families in our community are wondering just how they are going to afford school essentials for their children.

Every parent wants their child to fit in and feel equal to their peers, but children who arrive to school unprepared to learn will often feel left out compared to the rest of the students in their class.

The Caring and Sharing Exchange has been working hard in an effort to ensure that children in need return to school with their heads held high, fully prepared to succeed.

More than 1,400 children in Ottawa are currently registered to receive assistance through the Sharing in Student Success program.

Assistance is provided in the form of a grade appropriate stuffed backpack, as outlined by the boards of education.

With the funds raised so far, the exchange will only be able to help just over 1,000, leaving more than 300 without the tools they need to start the school year.

“We truly need the community’s assistance now if we have any hope of helping all of these deserving children,” says Cindy Smith, executive director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange.

“Not having the tools needed to succeed is

an avoidable roadblock facing them; all we need is just a bit of help to remove this barrier.”

The Caring and Sharing Exchange works year round with other community organizations to co-ordinate the giving in Ottawa.

“We work with our partnering agencies, through our co-ordination service, to help ensure that individuals aren’t being helped twice and that funds are distributed to as many families as possible.

By collaborating, we detect hundreds of duplicate applications, which allows us to redistribute the funds to the next family on the list, while saving the community money,” said Smith.

Donations can be made online at www.

CaringandSharing.ca or by calling 613-2266434.

The Caring and Sharing Exchange helps Ottawa families facing economic hardship during the Christmas and back-to-school seasons. The co-ordination service verifies the names of clients registered by hundreds of local agencies, in order to eliminate duplicate applications and redistribute funds accordingly.

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.

Senators celebrate $100M community investment Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – When Eugene Melnyk, owner of the Ottawa Senators, and the team’s top defenceman Erik Karlsson came up for air after being drenched with ice-cold water as part of a charitable icebucket challenge, the grins on their faces were infectious.

The dousing fittingly came just after Melnyk announced the second largest charity in the capital region has invested more than $100 million in community contributions since the team came to Ottawa in 1992.

“The collective philanthropic affects of the Ottawa Senators and our foundation has literally touched hundreds of thousands of lives in Ottawa and Gatineau,” Melnyk said, flanked by federal, provincial and municipal politicians at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata on Aug. 19.

“In fact, one out of every two people living in our region has benefitted from or participated in some way with our charitable and community efforts.”

Speaking before a large crowd that included dignitaries, Melnyk said the community investments of the team and the Ottawa Senators

Foundation have contributed to more than 13,000 days of pediatric, palliative and respite care at Roger’s House, the construction of numerous rink facilities, hundreds of post-secondary student bursaries, after-school programs, summer and hockey camps, learn-to-skate programs, youth mental illness programs, and counselling and treatment for youth addiction and substance abuse, among a host of other initiatives.

Melnyk also highlighted the more than 1,000 community appearances made by players, coaches and the team’s mascot each year.

He thanked the community, the fans and organizations and businesses for their support and contributions over the years, and gave special credit to philanthropist and journalist Max Keeping, who he said is a “shining example of how one individual can have such an influence on the compassion we have in our community.

“Max is an ambassador for our hockey team, and a longserving member of our foundation board.”

The team and the foundation plan to set the bar even higher and “aim to set the standard that all NHL teams will want to follow when it

“I believe every NHL team bears a significant responsibility to boost the civic pride at making community build-

ing a priority,” said Melnyk, who became the team’s owner in 2003.

Member of Parliament for Nepean-Carleton Pierre Poilievre, who is the federal minister of state (democratic reform), said it can be difficult imagining what $100 million

represents to individuals.

“But what this money has meant is that a depressed youngster who has no one to speak to can pick up the phone and someone on the other end of the line will answer, that when some young person is addicted to drugs

Before proclaiming Aug. 19 as Ottawa Senators Foundation Day in the city, Mayor Jim Watson said the foundation has made Ottawa a much better place.

Calling the multimilliondollar milestone an “amazing achievement,” the mayor said the Senators foster a tremendous amount of pride on the ice.

“But they’re also there at every turn in the community.

I can’t think of many community philanthropic activities the Sens have not been involved with,” Watson said.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not stop the train

P

remier Kathleen Wynne was in town recently to help Mayor Jim Watson celebrate the halfway mark of construction on the Confederation line tunnel.

She also re-affirmed the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to funding the second phase of the light rail project, and both Wynne and Watson took time to push the federal government to make a similar pledge.

Ottawa-OrlĂŠans MP Royal Galipeau would only go so far as saying when a plan for Phase 2 was presented, it would be considered in due course by the federal government.

The push by the mayor and the premier may be political theatre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Watson is seeking re-election this fall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the current predicament should not be ignored by voters in Ottawa.

The $2.5-billion Phase 2 is scheduled to begin sometime after the initial Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture to Blair Road section is completed in 2018. Moving forward with light rail, ensuring trains are running from Bayshore to OrlĂŠans, is of vital importance to the future of the city. As Ottawa grows, it will become

more important with each passing year for residents to be served by an efficient mass transit system.

With that in mind, city council and the province must be willing to acknowledge the possibility that federal funding for the project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which would amount to around $975 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be made available. The recent attitude of Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government has been to steer clear of direct investment in areas it believes are of provincial responsibility.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to say that funding a project in the capital wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be treated differently, but the city and province canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to wait around for federal money to be made available. Plan B needs to be determined. Whether that means moving forward with one leg of Phase 2 or another is up to council to decide, but failing to establish an alternative, one that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dependent upon federal funding, would be negligent.

Ottawa needs a transit system built for the 21st century, whether the federal government wants to play along or not.

No shortage of advice for road warriors

I

n the summer many of us become Ontario road warriors.

We discover new roads and rediscover old ones. On the old roads there are always changes, some for the good, some not so much.

The roads themselves are often better. The Trans-Canada, Highway 17, heading north and west has some rough spots, but it is so much better than it used to be. The continual addition of passing lanes has made the driving easier and safer, not to mention less tense. It is reassuring, when stuck behind somebody going slow (meaning: at the speed limit), to know that a passing lane will open up just a couple of minutes. The knowledge makes us more patient and safer drivers.

There has also been good work

To be fair, there are some towns along the way that look like they are doing all right. The stores and restaurants are newly-painted and the grass on the baseball diamond has been cut. There is still some pulp and paper activity and the growth in mining brings hope. And of course the scenery, except for the odd stretch west of Thunder Bay, is compelling.

Mind you, there are always some stretches of boredom in a two- or three-day drive. This is when we are grateful for the folks who write the signs that are supposed to help us with our driving.

However, our favourite this year, first glimpsed near Wahnapitae east of Sudbury, is: DRIVE ACCORDING TO CONDITIONS. Really? Two images spring to mind. One is of a guy going 150 km/ h in pitch dark, dense fog and pouring rain who suddenly sees the sign and thinks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow! I never thought of that. Better slow down. And perhaps turn my headlights on.â&#x20AC;?

The other image is of the inevitable committee meeting where this slogan was adopted. The members would gather in a windowless boardroom with bottles of water and try to come up with just the right wording, one that would be easily understood, translate well and not be offensive to anyone. Possible options would be flashed in PowerPoint on a large screen, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use Steering Wheel to Turn Carâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employ Brakes to

In the end, after lengthy discussion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive According to Conditionsâ&#x20AC;? would appear to be the best option. Ontario road warriors thank the committee and urge it to Think According to Intelligence.

OPINION

Mom, unplugged in the wild

D

espite my dodgy back, I took three kids camping on my own last week.

I knew it would be a challenge to be camping solo with the offspring, even more so when I found out I had no cell phone coverage.

At first, the idea of being completely disconnected from the world made me nervous. I was nervous for security reasons, but also jittery because I wasn’t sure what I’d do cut off from everybody for a week.

But then an amazing thing happened – with one exception, I didn’t look at my phone for seven days. And it felt great.

With the phone turned off, I felt a weight lift, like I was really on vacation for the first time in forever. Disconnected from newsfeeds, I wasn’t compelled to keep on top of all the details of my friends, my family and the world. It created simplicity.

It also generated creativity.

I had a paper notebook in which to write my thoughts, old school. At the beginning of the week, I found myself commentating on the world around me in a series of fewer than 140-character blurbs, social media style. Things like, “The raccoons are bold, but I’m bolder,” and “Just made bannock on the fire for a worthy audience,” and “Drinking Busch beer in the bush.”

By the end of the week, however, I was writing, by hand, extended essays about my thoughts, my family and life, generally.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Being unplugged forced me to think more deeply, offering me perspective and clarity.

But the best part of being offline for the better part of the week was the improved relationship with my children.

We were able to have real, in-depth conversations.

When discussing their newly discovered hobby of fishing, we couldn’t fact check “fish at Lac Philippe” on Google in the middle of the campfire.

We were forced to brainstorm and guess, hypothesize and debate possibilities. It was a rich dialogue so often lacking when we’ve got the answers at our finger tips.

Without the constant interruption of a blinking or a beeping or a time check, we could remain in the moment. We told progressive stories around the campfire and wrote postcards and sang songs.

The kids noticed a difference in mom, too.

Not only was I more present, I was more relaxed. Without the phone, I didn’t have to be multitasking or thinking about irrelevant things or worry about other people’s trials and tribulations. The children didn’t feel they were constantly interrupting me,

as often can be the case at home when the smartphone demands my attention. We made eye contact frequently.

Our communication improved as a result.

When my two-year-old daughter fell and scraped her knee – the first time – I could just hold her and bandage her up and focus on the task at hand. When my eight-yearold caught his first sunfish, we had to work out how to get it off the hook, and even ask some real people for help. When my nine-year-old trapped a large turtle in a net, we were compelled to examine the turtle closely and take notes so we could remember details and look up the facts later.

Sitting on the beach alone – with no device to connect me to other adults on social media or the phone – allowed me to connect with people in my midst. I’m a natural communicator, so given the chance to start a conversation, I often do. But I realized on this trip that, too often, the little computer in my pocket has been acting as a barrier to the possibility of speaking to people in my geographic vicinity.

I came back from my week without technology feeling

KANATA OLDTIMERS HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

more refreshed than I have in years.

It wasn’t long before my phone started beeping and blinking once again.

Everyone wanted to know how the vacation went, had I survived? People posted thoughts on work, life and politics. The first few days were an assault on my senses.

I’m not too worried. Now that I know where I can escape from technology, I’m planning to make technologyfree vacations a mandatory part of my life.

Bring back medical drives for seniors To the editor,

Beryl Neddow West Carleton ***

Ghost bike memorials distracting to public To the editor,

tragic death of a cyclist at the intersection of Bank Street and Riverside Drive in Ottawa.

No charges, criminal or otherwise, were laid against the driver of the truck involved in that incident.

Shortly after that tragic death, a roadside memorial was erected at the sight in memory of the victim.

One year later that memorial still stands.

Why? What purpose does it serve?

Until such time that these memorials are subject to stringent provincial regulations and guidelines, the City of Ottawa, as an intermediate step, should place a 90-day moratorium on the erection and dismantling of roadside memorials, whether they are erected in the core of the city or on the outskirts.

Roadside memorials, which initially consist of a few flowers or a wreath, and more often than not, often followed by a more permanent symbol such as a cross, indeed, create a number of concerns and issues ranging from traffic safety (driver distractions), to highway and road maintenance, to environmental degradation including the proliferation of signs, symbols, etc.

Roadside memorials are also a very contentious issue for those citizens who oppose religious symbols on publicly owned and maintained highways and roads.

Government regulations and guidelines, often ignored, relating to these roadside memorials are vague, lacking clear direction and vision.

When one considers the hazards and concerns associated with these memorials, the time has now arrived for governments to question their use.

There are less contentious and safer ways to mourn the loss of a loved one.

R0012846705

If you are now too young for the senior classification, statistically you likely will one day be a senior.

This letter is to prepare you for the transportation services for seniors that exist now, and to ask you to have input for changes. I am a senior whose driver’s license was removed for medical reasons at a time my late husband was dying of cancer. He passed away less than two years ago and the stress of not having a driver’s license in my situation is not something knows until it happens to one.

I have a wonderful dear friends and wonderful helpful neighbours and a wonderful daughter who lives with me as my shopper, my chauffeur and my Sherpa.

So what do I need a senior transportation improvement for, you ask? It is a system that needs upgrading is my answer.

You might say there is Paratranspo.

Paratranspo is for clients who have mobility issues.

You might also say there is the shopper/ medical appointment bus - circulation into two shopping centres with stops/starts at Dunrobin village and Carp.

But am I going to be so thoughtless as to ring up a neighbour who is already doing very much good work for others and for her family, and ask to be driven to the stop, and to be met at the stop? I think not! And in my case, I don’t need it. But you might, some day.

The best help for seniors at present, is a wonderful service set up by the resource centre and unselfish volunteer drivers who without compensation for their time, get paid by the resource centre by the kilometer from their home to the clients home to

the medical appointments.

You are waited for, taken home and the driver returns home.

The kilometers are from the driver’s home back to his home.

“What could be better?” you might say.

What could be better is the medical drive that existed before amalgamation. It wasn’t a free ride, because West Carleton township paid for the volunteers’ expenses.

The client could donate as much or as little as he or she was able, but did not have to pay anything since tax money paid for the service.

But people do not want to pay more taxes, you might say.

I am saying the city should find some West Carleton tax money for this service, for many clients do not have extended health coverage, pension money, or a reserve and there are many drives needed into city hospitals for scans, for eye operations, etc. Every medical appointment has a pre-appointment trip to the blood lab.

We need to get back to the “free ride” that existed and have no rise in our taxes for the service. Do you have a solution for convincing the city that this service should be in existence? You might need it someday and seniors’ health should not be under stress.

West Ottawa Ladies chorus seeking more members Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is looking to boost their membership with talented female singers from Kanata to Fitzroy Harbour to North Gower and parts in between.

The group has been growing since its inception in the winter of 2011 when 24 ladies who were recruited for a onetime performance shared their interest in a permanent all-women group with the Goulbourn Male Chorus’ music director, Robert Dueck.

Now, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has become a fun, social, but hardworking group of 32 female singers, with two full concerts a year and many other engagements at seniors’ residences and elsewhere.

Now, they are on the lookout for six to 10 new singers in the alto and soprano ranges.

Ladies chorus music has four parts to it, said Dueck; first soprano, second

soprano, first alto and second alto.

While the second alto section currently has the fewest members, Dueck said preference would be given to first soprano singers.

“In almost all of the music, the first soprano (section) has the melody line and so you want a really strong melody line,” he said, noting that he will nonetheless accept singers for each voice part.

Those interested are required to be able to match pitch, blend and sing a designated voice part, with choral experience and basic sight reading an asset.

See CHOIR, page 13

Choir continues to grow after 2012 founding Continued from page 12

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The choir has ladies with much musical experience, and others, like me, with basic skills that learn something new at each practice,â&#x20AC;? said Jacqueline Sanders, one of the choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank goodness for Google!â&#x20AC;?

The choir sings both secular and sacred music, said Sanders, including contemporary madrigals, Gershwin, Canadian and European folk songs, some classic nostalgia hits and some novelty numbers to lighten the mood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of songs in our growing repertoire are lovely story/poem lyrics set to a contemporary style of music and arranged for a traditional three or four part ladies choir,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has been a good fit for Sanders, who had been on the lookout for a choir to join for several years.

An invitation from her sister, Janet Ramsahoye, to attend one of the West Ottawa practices ended in Sanders joining the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was immediately swept up by the enthusiasm of music director Robert Dueck and the atmosphere created by the music he chose, and by the fun all the ladies were having,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The choir has developed particularly strong partnerships with the Empress Kanata Retirement Residence and the Stonehaven Manor Retirement Residence which provide rehearsal space, said Sanders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many seniors have choir experience, or have considerable musical knowledge, and they

love it when we sing for them,â&#x20AC;? she said.

CHORUS ORIGINS

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus grew from a one-time gig singing alongside the Goulbourn Male Chorus in 2011 to a group in its own right after several ladies showed their interested in joining an all-womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir.

For the Goulbourn Male Chorusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second-annual Christmas concert, Dueck had something big in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a song that I really wanted to do as an opening song, but the song required not only male voices, it required lady singers, it required bells and it required a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck.

The chorus managed to recruit 24 women for this one song, with 65 people on stage in total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went over so well that we decided to do it not only as the opening number, we repeated it as the closing number,â&#x20AC;? he said, giggling at the success of that first performance.

After that performance, enthusiasm for a group just for women grew, and Dueck said he was delighted to start the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus.

Those interested in joining the chorus can contact Dueck at LadiesChorus@bell.net or 613-836-1824.

To listen to the ladies chorus perform, search â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Ottawa Ladies Chorusâ&#x20AC;? in YouTube.

The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first rehearsal this season is on Sept. 28.

Familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottle drive raises more than $2,000 for CHEO Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - The Kreative Kids who Kare have earned their name once again, raising more than $2,000 for CHEO with their annual Bridlewood bottle drive.

With more than 30 volunteers and eight cars, the family of seven children managed to collect $2,043.30 in recyclable alcohol bottles, cash donations and bake sale proceeds.

This is the Crepeault familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7th-annual bottle drive, which began when Jacob, currently 18, Hannah, 16, Sarah, 14, Simon, 12, Nathaniel, 10, and Lily, 8, were asked by their parents to come up with a way to get involved with their community and give back.

They came up with a bottle drive and chose to donate to CHEO because most of them had made use of their facilities due to illnesses and broken bones.

With this latest donation, the family, which now includes two-year-old Joseph, has donated more than $13,000 to CHEO over seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fantastic,â&#x20AC;? said the Kreative Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother, Wendy Crepeault, who noted this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total surpassed last yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; $1,900. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are so generous,â&#x20AC;? she said. Though the family collects bottles specifically in Bridlewood, Crepeault said this year residents from around Kanata wanted to lend a hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had many different people from all over Kanata call us after reading the article and asking if either we could come by or they could come by to bring us bottles,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One gentleman in his 80s in Glen Cairn emailed us and said that he had a garage full of probably about 100 bottles , and all of his returns were about $120.â&#x20AC;?

Two years ago, the Cre-

peault kids decided to start accepting donations for the Kanata Food Cupboard while going door-to-door for bottles, and this year collected 260 kilograms of food and two boxes of school supplies.

The addition is a good complement to the bottle drive, as those without empty alcohol bottles have another way to give. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so awesome to see is just how generous people are,â&#x20AC;? said Crepeault. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a bottle, they would go into their cupboard and definitely grab cans, and if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that, they would go to their wallets and grab cash.â&#x20AC;?

The bottle drive started at around 8:30 a.m. and ended at about 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 9.

The event is only getting more fun for the Kreative Kids who Kare, said Crepeault, who now have plenty of friends taking part.

Mountain biker killed while cycling to work commemorated with ride fundraiser Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - A well-known leader in Ottawa’s mountain biking community who died when he collided with a truck while cycling to work will be commemorated with a bike ride on Aug. 24.

Mario Theoret, an avid cyclist and founding member of the Ottawa chapter of a youth outdoors program called Trips for Kids in Ottawa’s west end, lost his life Oct. 17, 2013.

While the mountain biking community and Trips for Kids Ottawa will never be the same without him, hopefully the upcoming ride will raise awareness about cyclist and vehicle

Mario Theoret takes a ride in 2006, seven years before he was killed in a collision with a truck in Nepean. A ride is being held in his memory on Aug. 24.

safety while ensuring Theoret is not soon forgotten, said friend and fellow mountain biker Cat Weaver.

The ride, put on by cycling advocacy group Share the Road Cycling Coalition in partnership with Trips for Kids, will raise funds for both groups.

“Mario would be so honoured (to have a ride in his name),” said Weaver.

Together, Weaver and Theoret founded Trips for Kids Ottawa, said Weaver, recalling the first time she took her kids to a mountain biking race in Limerick, Ont. Thinking she had room for a few more young cyclists, Weaver told her kids they could invite some friends.

“My daughter came home and said, ‘I have 22 kids to go, mom, but only seven of them have bikes,’” said Weaver.

“So Mario helped me gather people’s old mountain bikes and we were able to bring 22 kids

there,” she said.

Seeing the children’s interest in mountain biking, the pair continued borrowing bikes for interested kids and taking trips, eventually becoming incorporated with Trips for Kids International, and offering broader outdoor activities like hiking and fishing, largely in the west-end greenbelt and in a marsh in south Kanata.

Theoret was instrumental in getting the organization going and teaching kids to ride, said Weaver. “He just patched all the cracks, you know,” she said. “If there was anything missing that one of us couldn’t get done, he was there.”

NEVER GOING TO BE THE SAME

“It’s never going to be the same without him,” said Weaver.

Theoret died while cycling to work on Oct 17, she said. Taking his regular route along West Hunt Club Road in Nepean, Theoret ended up passing and being passed by a tractor trailer several times.

The back-and-forth was picked up by the truck’s dashboard camera, and the driver said he saw Theoret several times, said Weaver.

“At Merivale and Hunt Club, Mario was going straight through on a green light and the truck was turning and turned right in front of him,” she said.

Upon hearing about Theoret’s death, another member of Trips for Kids Ottawa, Sandra Beaubien, called up Share the Road.

“I had actually seen the founder of Share the Road speak a couple of years ago and she told the story of how her husband was hit and killed while cycling,” said Beaubien. “So right after Mario’s accident, she just came to mind and I sent her a message saying, ‘This is what’s happened, I know you do a lot of advocacy work. I’m just wondering what we can do to prevent more cycling accidents.’”

THE RIDE

As of Aug. 12, 80 people had signed up to join either the 55- or 105-kilometre rides on Aug. 24, which will travel across Carp, Fitzroy Harbour and Pakenham before returning

to the start of the race at the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Morgan’s Grant.

The event will include booths from Bushtukah, Share the Road, Trips for Kids and the Enviro Centre, as well as raffles and other prizes and a barbecue, said Beaubien.

Money raised from registration and donations will be split between Share the Road and Trips for Kids Ottawa.

Registration will be open until just before the start of the morning ride, with organizers hoping to have more than 100 cyclists participate.

Apart from giving riders an enjoyable experience, the ride is about spreading awareness and safety information to both drivers and cyclists, said Weaver.

“It goes both ways,” she said.

Share the Road has been a great partner for the event, she said. “I hope that the work that Share the Road does prevents further tragedies like (Theoret’s).”

Girl Guides group to hold used uniform sale on Sept. 7 1st Ottawa Mosaic Group

The 1st Ottawa Mosaic Group will hold a used uniform sale next month to fund a trip for 24 Girl Guides from units based in Stittsville and Kanata to Guiding Mosaic 2016, a 10-day national Guiding camp in Alberta.

The sale will take place at the Stittsville Legion, 1481 Main St. on Sept. 7 from 1 to 4 p.m.

The group is collecting uniform shirts (both girl and adult leader uniforms), neck ties, pin tabs, camp hats, camp shirts or sweaters, camp blankets, badge handbooks and navy blue bottoms. The navy blue bottoms do not have to be official Girl Guides uniform pieces, just in

good condition.

The event will operate like a consignment sale. New style uniforms will be priced approximately 40 per cent off the cost of buying a new uniform.

Seventy per cent of the proceeds will go back to the seller and 30 per cent will be directed towards the fundraiser. People donating uniforms can choose to direct all the proceeds to the fundraiser.

The uniform changed in 2012, so the group hopes to collect as many “new style” uniforms as possible. With three years of Guiding in the new uniform complete, we know that there are many uniforms out there seeking new homes.

The new uniform is the all-blue shirt with

DON’T MISS IT !!!!

accents of either pink, brown, navy, green or red; depending on the Guiding branch.

All branches now include neck ties, including the one with pink leaves for Sparks, and navy leaves for Guides.

Even though all past uniforms are acceptable and may be worn by the girls, we noticed at last year’s sale that both parents and girls are on the lookout for the newer style uniforms. We will be selling older style uniform shirts for $5 and neck ties for $1, with all proceeds going towards our fundraiser.

People who have a uniform they would like included in the sale should contact Angela Wallace at guider.angie@gmail.com and the group will arrange to have the uniform picked up.

5TH ANNUAL IN-STORE SHOW

AMAZING DOOR CRASHERS

Please ensure that the uniform is clean, and that your name, phone number and email address are clearly indicated so that we are able to contact you after the sale.

As badge sash pins have a tendency to fall off at the most inconvenient times, the Ottawa Mosaic Group will be installing snaps to keep the sashes closed with no pins at a cost of $1 per sash.

People can bring their current sash to the uniform sale, and the group will do snap the sash on the spot.

Those who don’t have a sash can register for a date towards the end of September when their new sash arrives.

Guiding Mosaic 2016 is an international Guiding camp that will take place at Sylvan Lake, Alberta from July 9 to 17. It is the 13th Girl Guides of Canada national camp to be held since 1927.

The 1st Ottawa Mosaic Group is comprised of 24 Girl Guides and six leaders from the Stittsville and Kanata area. The travel costs for each participant are approximately $2,200.

Anyone whose daughter is interested in being placed on the group’s waiting list can email 1stomg2016@gmail.com.

Swim across Ottawa River promotes cross-border collaboration different from other Ottawa River swims, like the popular Bring on the Bay event, as it took participants out to the middle of the river where you can’t see the shore, said Ruth McKlusky, an organizer of the event and manager for the Ottawa Riverkeeper, which put on the race.

“There is a real psychological barrier,” she said.

Kanata resident and swim participant Neil Graham agreed, saying the choppy water made it hard to see much of anything, though the paddle boats stationed across the river helped a great deal to keep swimmers on track.

The Aylmer-traz swim, named for popular prisonbreak themed runs and other events, was put on by Ottawa Riverkeeper, an organization that strives to protect and promote the health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries.

The race raised more than $5,000, said McKlusky, which will go towards water

Sports - A cold, choppy summer day made for a challenging swim across the Ottawa River for dozens of hardcore swimmers during the first Escape to/from Aylmer-traz event on Aug. 16.

The four-kilometre swim was a challenge for the approximately 36 swimmers who took part, leaving Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer at 8 a.m.

The first to finish was Nepean Masters Swim Club coach Lesley Dusevic, arriving at Lac Deschênes Sailing Club in Nepean in 58 minutes and four seconds.

“It was what I call an honest swim,” said Dusevic, moments after rising out of the Ottawa River.

“You are dealing with chop, you are dealing with current, and you are dealing with sighting, so it was an honest swim.”

The open-water swim was

quality test kits to be used by Riverkeeper volunteers.

“We have this network of wonderful river watchers, and they do outreach in their community and they do water testing for us,” she said.

The testing is to look for long-term trends in the health of the river.

Ottawa, Gatineau and other municipalities do their own testing.

However, their efforts are not co-ordinated and are done at different intervals, making for conflicting reports when it comes to deciding if beaches should be open or not.

Be creative in our fall classes

Swimmers support riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health

From building blocks to sewing socks there is no shortage of fall classes available at City of Ottawa recreation facilities for those who like to work with their hands. A listing of classes for kids of all ages can be found at ottawa.ca/recreation.

Continued from page 21

That is just one of many problems that come up given the â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazy quiltâ&#x20AC;? of varying legislation enforced on the Ottawa River, said McKlusky.

The Ottawa River is more than 1,200 kilometres long, and straddles the border between Ontario and Quebec.

This makes coordinating a consistent Ottawa River health strategy very difficult, but necessary, said McKlusky.

Underlining the necessity for Ottawa River co-operation was one of the main messages of the event, she said, along with promoting the need to keep the river healthy in general.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a message that resonated with swimmers at the race.

The swimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second place finisher, Julien Maynard from Gatineau, said he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard about the Ottawa Riverkeeper before joining the swim, but

Graham said keeping the river healthy can keep swimmers healthy too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great cause because I like the river, I like to swim in it, and I like to be able to ingest a little bit of the water without getting sick,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are going to take some in, so you might as well make it so that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get sick right after.â&#x20AC;?

Doug Salt from Nepean who finished the swim in 11th place said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we are lucky to live in a city like this that is right on the water, and now that we can swim here and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not polluted as bad, I think (preserving the river) is a good thing to do.â&#x20AC;?

The health of the river is better than it was 30 year ago, said McKlusky, when timber companies were still active along the river. Now she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parts of the river are really

clean, and parts of it are not so good.â&#x20AC;?

That has to do with Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewer system that tends to overflow into the river after a few days of rain, as well as agricultural run-off from outside the city, she said.

Events like the swim serve to get people thinking about the river and update them on its health.

That included more than just swimmers, as kayakers, paddlers, sailing club members and police services from both sides of the river took part in the event.

McKlusky said she hopes to engage more and more people who take advantage of the river, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily take responsibility for it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody goes to the river, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even just swimmers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cyclists, roller bladers, kite surfers, you know, fishermen, sailors, paddlers. People on their vacation go to water,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it for granted.

Of the nearly 900 full-time suppression firefighters in Ottawa, 22 are women. And of the 450 volunteer firefighters in the Ottawa fire department, 29 are women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still around two per cent. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a very low number,â&#x20AC;? said one of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders, acting Lieut.

Louise Hine-Schmidt, a Britannia resident who works out of a station in Riverside South. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is just to show more young women at an age when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deciding what they want to do for post-secondary and for a career that this

It has been my pleasure to walk every street of our community this summer as I have for the last four years. This gives me the opportunity to take the pulse of the Ward and discuss with you the latest issues. We have hand delivered my regular quarterly newsletter to your home updating taxpayers on efforts that may impact you.

It was an honour to attend Agustin Tomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 100th birthday celebration.

Agustin is an active member of the Hazeldean Mall Walkers Club there was a very large crowd celebrating with cake donated by our Community Builder - Laura Dubois of Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independent Grocer. To learn that he credits praying a lot as the secret to a long healthy life gives us all hope!

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ryann Seiler and Sophia Villeneuve drop to their hands and knees and peer through their protective facemasks into the pitch black ahead.

They shimmy forward each carrying an axe under a pretend cloud of smoke, keeping less than an arms-length apart as they look for a baby they must rescue.

After a few minutes in the dark, the 15 year olds emerge from the structure carrying the doll. Their instructors MarieAude Grandmaitre and Shannon Gobey follow close behind wearing smiles on their faces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rescuing the baby was fun even though I missed it a couple of times, but she was there to help me,â&#x20AC;? Seiler said, referring to Villeneuve, her training partner.

Teamwork was a huge component of the skills that 24 young women between the ages of 15 and 19 developed Aug. 11 to 15 while climbing an aerial ladder that rose high in the sky, forcibly entering doorways and conducting search and rescue training at the Ottawa Fire Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training division building on Industrial Avenue.

Watching the girls on Aug. 12 learn what it takes to do the work she now does as a volunteer firefighter brought back memories for Gobey.

She was among the first group of participants to take part in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Camp FITT, or Female Firefighters in Training five years ago.

Modelled after a similar camp in New York state, the program is designed to give young women the opportunity

is an opportunity for them,â&#x20AC;? said Hine-Schmidt, a 15-year firefighting veteran and one of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three women firefighters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about getting more women firefighters, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about showing them they can if they choose.â&#x20AC;?

At 19, Gobey had been hesitant to consider firefighting as a career, thinking it was a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job.

But thanks largely to the encouragement of her father, Dennis Gobey, a now-retired Ottawa fire platoon chief she enrolled in the camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first day (of the training) I knew what I wanted to do,â&#x20AC;? the Kars resident said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Camp really opened my eyes to what firefighting truly is.â&#x20AC;?

She went on to successfully complete Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-service firefighter training program, and last October she was hired as a volunteer firefighter with the North Gower Fire Department.

Villeneuve and Seiler hope to follow in her footsteps, especially after the experiences they had at camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome,â&#x20AC;? said Seiler, a Stittsville resident, who was looking forward to putting out a controlled car fire during the training session.

See TRAINING, page 27

Training camp allows youth to test-drive possible career Her firefighting partner didn’t know what to expect when she arrived at the training facility.

“But I really love it, and I also love the fact that you get to help people during firefighting,” said Villeneuve, who lives in Riverside South. “Rescuing the baby today, we got to experience that.”

Her family is very supportive of her dream, while others expressed their doubts.

“Some people think I’m not strong enough, but I’m going to prove them wrong,” she said. “I think I am.”

Each girl who participates in the program often learns something invaluable about themselves, their strengths and their ability to work together and overcome challenges.

“Did you know the most important thing for me in this camp is I watch these girls

the first day, they’re nervous, they’re shy, they’re scared and by the end of the week their confidence has just gone through the roof?” Hine-Schmidt said.

Watching the teens eagerly await their next challenge, Gobey said the camp is an ideal way to motivate a next generation of young women to find passion in something, just as she did.

“It may not be firefighting for some of them, but just helping them find their direction,” she said. “It really meant the world to me finding what I was meant to do.”

Work is underway to repair and repave Carling Ave at the railway underpass, the Goulbourn Forced Road and the pathway from Broughton St. to the Goulbourn Forced Road. Klondike between March and Sandhill has been closed to permit a widening of the shoulder on the north side for a safer route for pedestrians. My thanks to the residents who suggested this interim step at a public meeting. In 2015, Klondike will be upgraded to urban standards by installing a wider culvert and adding sidewalks on both sides of the road.

Thank you to residents who have suggested needed work on other roads, sidewalks and pathways. These have been forwarded to road staff for evaluation for funding in next year’s budget.

For Knudson Dr traffic, staff have recommended to the Transportation Committee that traffic calming measures be installed as discussed at community meetings. Once approved by the Committee and Council, I will move to have the funds to implement the plan included in the 2015 budget.

CAMPEAU DRIVE Students at Earl of March Secondary School can participate in a free CanBike program this fall to improve cycling skills and learn how to protect pedestrians on the Campeau sidewalk. I met with the Mayor on the need to widen the north side sidewalk to create a wide multiuse pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. I will seek Council approval for funds in the 2015 budget to widen the sidewalk from Teron to Kanata Ave prior to completion of the Grades 7-8 addition to Earl of March S.S. In the interim, those taking the cycling training will learn how to share the present path through respecting the priority of pedestrians.

COMMUNITY MAIL BOXES Canada Post has made a few changes to their locations in Beaverbrook but did not address many of the suggestions from myself and the community.

They are now installing them at the selected locations. Under federal legislation, they have the right to place them anywhere on public land.

They consulted, but unfortunately the City has no jurisdiction to require changes.

Accused killer’s case to involve pre-trial meeting Next public court date scheduled for September Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – The case against an 18-year-old man charged with the second-degree murder of a St. Patrick’s High School student just before school let out for the summer will involve a judicial pretrial meeting next month.

Devontay Hackett appeared again by video on Aug. 14 during his fourth court appearance since his arrest on July 11, about a month after Brandon Volpi died from stab wounds he suffered outside a downtown Ottawa hotel just hours after his prom on June 7.

Hackett’s lawyer, Joseph Addelman, requested time be set aside on Sept. 18 for a judicial pre-trial conference,

during which a judge and lawyers from both sides typically meet “to consider the possibility of settling or simplifying the issues and determining questions of liability, what remedy a party seeks, and the estimated duration of the hearing,” according to the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General’s website.

These meetings are closed to the public.

Following that step, Addelman’s client will appear in court by video on Sept.

29.

Hackett, his hands clasped in front of him, said little, only commenting when his lawyer said he would see him in a few days time, on Aug. 19. Friends and family of Volpi quietly looked on during the proceedings.

The case is being prosecuted by assistant Crown attorney Mike Boyce, who was not present at the recent court date.

Hackett is being held at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

The second-degree homicide case against 18-year-old Devontay Hackett continues to inch its way through the court system. The teen will next appear by video on Sept. 29.

Dig into Ottawa’s past during public archeological excavations Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A few layers of dirt and grass at Vincent Massey Park are all that lie between the present and a culture that dates back at least 4,000 years.

Ian Badgely has spent more than 40 years unlocking clues to ancient communities. With his expert guidance on Aug. 23 and 24, and armed with an arsenal of trowels, brushes, buckets, dustpans and screens to sift soil, he plans to share the thrill of archeological discovery at Vincent Massey Park.

“The artifacts we recover have been buried for hundreds or thousands of years,” said Badgely, who, in 2009, became the first archeologist to work at the National Capital Commission. “So we are the first ones to rediscover

them.

“And in those societies, the cultural equipment was made by individuals – made one time by one person, so I feel that I’m touching another human being when I have in my hand an artifact.”

For the second year, a grid system of stakes and string will cordon off a spot located to the right of where the Rideau River Eastern Pathway crosses under the O-Train bridge at the park this weekend, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tools will be provided during the free public dig so that everyone can be an archeologist for a day, and dig in the dirt for stone tools, pieces of pottery and animal bones from cooking fires.

When someone makes a find, the location of the item will be recorded.

“That’s what tells the story,” said Badgely, add-

ing that excavated treasures will eventually go to the federal repository at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que. “If we find an area where there is a concentration of lithic or stone waste products we can interpret that as, say, a stone tool-making workshop.

“If we find another area where there are scraping tools then we could perhaps interpret that as a place where hides and skins were being processed.”

When these areas are plotted together, it sheds light into how occupants organized their living spaces.

“And this gives you insight into their techniques for adaptation and how their demography, what the social units were, resource exploitation,” said Badgely.

Artifacts were first found at that spot in the park in 2009 ahead of work to reinforce the O-Train bridge. An archeological survey along the sides of the path in the area, where heavy equipment was going travel in order to access the bridge, led to the recovery of artifacts, including arrowheads, scraping tools and shards of broken pottery.

“So it’s a very important site,” Badgely said. “And we don’t know much about it. It’s important to know more about that resource so we can protect and manage it properly.”

The area at the park where items have been recovered was likely where Aboriginal groups stopped over while portaging around nearby river rapids.

These communities date back 4,000 years, if not earlier.

Experts still don’t know the size of the groups that stopped and rested long enough to leave clues behind – several hundred could have camped there in the summer, said Badgely, a specialist in Inuit archeology.

“We haven’t done enough work at Vincent Massey to

even establish the size of the site,” he added. “You need to excavate large, large areas in order to gain good insight.”

That’s why the public digs are crucial to piecing together this mystery.

“It’s not just to enhance public awareness of the importance of archeology, it’s real research,” the archeologist said of the upcoming dig.

“We’re trying to understand the site, its size, its contents, its functions.”

And that is crucial to ensuring that the fragments of the past that still remain are

protected and examined to gain better insight into the communities that came before us.

“It’s discovery, ... and being able to put the information into a cultural context that helps us better understand the adaptation of folks who left their remains behind,” Badgely said.

Parking for the event is available in the lot located off Heron Road near the intersection at Riverside Drive.

Participants are asked to wear a hat, and bring drinking water and insect repellent.

Gloucester-Southgate candidate accuses councillors of theft

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa councillors are calling for legal action after a municipal candidate made an online post accusing a “blacklist” of seven council members of corruption and “stealing millions from taxpayers.”

The Twitter account of Gloucester-Southgate candidate Meladul Haq Ahmadzai posted a link to a blog at blacklistottawa2014. blogspot.com dozens of times starting the evening of Thursday, Aug. 7. Ahmadzai did not return calls on Aug. 8, but the post states the mayor and six city councillors – including his only opponent, incumbent Coun. Diane Deans, “are believed to be involved in corruption at Ottawa city hall and who are believed to have stole millions from taxpayers.”

City solicitor Rick O’Connor said the allegations in the post are of a criminal nature, so he forwarded the matter to the Ottawa police.

“I’m no criminal lawyer ... (but) these seem to run the gamut from criminal theft to criminal defamation or even cyber bullying,” O’Connor said.

Ahmadzai, 21, registered for the municipal election on April 2. His website says his family moved to Ottawa from Afghanistan when he was nine and that he is well known in the city for his volunteerism with Ecology Ottawa, ACORN Ottawa, the Ottawa Riverkeeper, Oxfam Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. In a speech posted on his website, Ahmadzai claims he felt he “had accomplished” the extradition of Canadian war criminal Omar Khadr to Canada because he debated the matter in a high-school class.

Deans said she isn’t going to let the matter slide.

“I think the city needs to take this seriously,” Deans said.

“This is completely unfounded and completely baseless.”

If there is no legal recourse the city can take, Deans said she will seek legal advice about possibly launching a civil defamation case.

“I’m not going to have that hanging out there. Obviously there are real issues here,” she said. “Frankly,

I’m furious about it. In politics your name is very, very important.”

Deans and other councillors accused in the post – which includes Rainer Bloess (Innes), Doug Thompson (Osgoode), Shad Qadri (Stittsville), Peter Hume (Alta Vista), Eli El-Chantiry (West Carleton-March) and Diane Holmes (Somerset) – say they’ve never had any interaction with Ahmadzai.

El-Chantiry said after seeing the website and tweets posted under Ahmadzai’s name, he questions the candidate’s mental capacity and health.

“Anybody who would speak out like this without any fact, without any knowledge... I question his ability,” El-Chantiry said. “I don’t want to discourage anyone from running (for elected office) ... I consider it an honour because we live in a democracy where anyone can run, no matter who you are,” he said. “The problem is, sometimes the unfortunate part – it’s not required to have even mental stability.”

El-Chantiry questioned whether there was a process to disqualify a candidate from the election.

Cathy Bergeron of Elections Ottawa said the only thing that would prevent someone from being able to

People convicted under the Criminal Code are unable to stand for the next two general elections following their conviction, Bergeron said.

Thompson was less concerned about the post, saying that voters can draw their own conclusions about Ahmadzai based on what he posts online.

“My personal feeling is when things come out like that ... just to let it go. The minute you talk about it, you give credence to a bunch of malarkey,” Thompson said.

“In my opinion it’s one of those items that there is no validation to it,” he said. “In this day and age you can expect people to use the electronic media to spout off, but in a rural term, it’s hogwash, as far as I’m concerned.”

Five-metre pepper grinder unveiled at college Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A group of cabinet making and furniture technician students from Algonquin College are hoping to make the Guinness Book of World Records with a pepper grinder.

Rod Dagenais, 53, was one of the group of nine students tasked with crafting the record breaking kitchen utensil.

In the fall, students were asked to volunteer to work on their own time to design and build a nearly five-metre, working pepper grinder to compete against the current record holder, a three-me-

tre grinder that sits in a restaurant in Etobicoke.

Rod Dagenais said the group sacrificed their Friday nights from October until August to finish the grinder.

“It was really a team effort,” he said, adding the classmates that ranged in age from 18 to 53 became very close.

Student craftsmen include Eric Beuman, James Brint, Andrew Carver, Liam Cluff-Clyburne, Rodrigue Dagenais, Jihad Farhat, Cameron Larsen, Spencer Olivastri and Declan Thomas.

The grinding mechanism was built by welding students.

The grinder was unveiled in college’s construction and trades excellence building where it was mounted on two wheeled carts, so that students could show off the working pepper grinding mechanism. It will be moved to the hospitality building.

“Our students rose to the challenges of the project. We were only really part of the project for safety and mentoring. I am pleased and impressed with the workmanship and dedication,” instructor John McKinlay-Key said in a press release.

Rod Dagenais demonstrates how Algonquin College’s new approximately five-metre pepper grinder works, unveiled on Aug. 14.

Eating with gusto As celebrity chefs Joanne Schnurr, from CTV News, and motivational speaker Jody Mitic look on, Ottawa South Member of Provincial Parliament John Fraser and foodiePrints food blog editor Jennifer Chow, from Hintonburg, taste test the creations. The celebrity judges declared Schnurr the winner of the challenge during the Disaster Dining Challenge at the South Keys Walmart on Aug. 16. The event coincided with the launch of a national fundraising campaign at Walmart stores across Canada.

Last year, the Canadian Red Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest corporate sponsor generated about $3 million for disaster management services, including assistance during emergencies ranging from floods to house fires to ice storms.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 21, 2014 33

Ontario drivers hit 10,000 animals annually: OPP News - Ontario boasts some of the most scenic driving for those who live in and visit the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast rural communities, but it comes with a cost with more than 10,000 drivers a year being involved in wildlife collisions.

From 2009 to 2013, close to 60,000 wildlife collisions were reported to the OPP. Nineteen of the people involved in these collisions

died and more than 2,200 of them sustained injuries.

OPP data show that spring and fall are times when motorists driving in rural areas need to be extra cautious as wildlife becomes more active.

It is important to remember that deer, moose and elk crossing signs are only posted where there are frequent sightings or crossings, however these animals can be seen anywhere

at any time. Drivers should therefore maintain a heightened level of awareness when driving in rural areas that are absent of these signs.

The OPP is reminding motorists that they can take precautions to reduce their risk of a collision with wildlife: â&#x20AC;˘ Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder. Moose, elk and deer are particularly active in the spring,

especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for food. Deer rarely travel alone, so when motorists see one there are likely more nearby. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch your speed and be careful when driving at night. Slowing down will give you more time to respond.

Avoiding driving after dark when possible can greatly reduce the risk of colliding with an animal. â&#x20AC;˘ Brake ďŹ rmly if an animal is stand-

ing on or crossing the road, stopping if necessary. Swerving to avoid hitting a wild animal may result in loss of control and a more serious collision. If you do encounter large wildlife such as deer, moose, elk or bears on the road and can safely avoid hitting them, do so, but be absolutely certain that oncoming trafďŹ c or soft shoulders do not put you and others at risk.

News - After two years of construction, the public will finally get a chance to see what Lansdowne Park looks like with its decades-old layer of asphalt peeled off.

Aug. 15 officially marked the grand opening of the new “urban park” at Lansdowne – the green portion of the site’s makeover that Mayor Jim Watson has long touted as “putting the park back in Lansdowne.”

But the 18-hectare site will serve as more than a park – it’s the site of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, it will have a refrigerated skating rink, a splash pad, an orchard and civic garden, event venues and even a surprise addition – a skateboard park.

All those features add up to a great new space for residents of the Glebe and beyond, said Dolores MacAd-

am, program manager for the city’s events central and Lansdowne Park.

“This is part of the neighbourhood now,” MacAdams said.

“Whether there are events taking place or not, it will serve as a fantastic venue to have within your community.

“I just think it’s going to be the jewel of the city,” she said. “It’s a whole new energy.”

The “beacon,” a storm water management feature that functions as a water plaza, won’t quite be done and the civic gardens aren’t planted, but much of the park, including a children’s play area, the “great lawn” and a new public square around the historic Aberdeen Pavilion will be open for people to relax or throw around a ball.

The area will also be teeming with events, MacAdam said.

The Aberdeen Pavilion will again become home to large corporate and commercial events, she said, including events related to the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and the One Young World Summit in 2016. The “cattle castle,” as it’s known, can hold up to 2,800 people.

See SECOND , page 41

Second heritage building an attractive wedding venue Continued from page 40

The restoration of the site’s second heritage structure – the Horticulture Building – has opened up the possibility of a different type of event.

Winterlude will also include events at Lansdowne this year, MacAdam said.

“We’ve had at least five calls inquiring about weddings,” MacAdam said, adding the requests were sight unseen because the building had not yet reopened.

The Horticulture Building was stripped of its heri-

tage designation so it could be moved to a different spot on the site. That $10-million

project left the building’s interior completely rebuilt with new windows, opening up a space that until now had been used for storage. The build-

ing will also house a community kitchen and offices for city staff who work at Lansdowne, as well as space for a cafe in the future. The city hasn’t decided what kinds of public programming to offer at Lansdowne, but the Horticulture Building is a likely home for lessons or workshops to be offered.

“The goal is to make it lovely and open seven days a week,” MacAdam said.

Lansdowne is set to get even livelier later this year, when stores, restaurants and a new cinema will begin opening.

Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report

REFLECTING ON SUMMER 2014

By Jim Watson With the summer almost over and fall just around the corner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to reďŹ&#x201A;ect on what has been a productive few months.

I visited all corners of our city this summer and was reminded once again just how BIG AND DIVERSE OUR CITY IS &ROM THE (/0% BEACH VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT AT -OONEY S Bay; to festivals around Ottawa like those celebrating our Italian, Lebanese, and Indian communities; to fairs like those in Navan, Gloucester, and Carp (upcoming), and music festivals for blues, folk, chamber, and jazz; Ottawa has not been short on places to visit and things to do this summer.

In this busy summer two events stand out to me. The ďŹ rst of which was the opening OF ,ANSDOWNE 0ARK &OR ME THE ISSUE OF WHAT TO DO ABOUT ,ANSDOWNE IS ONE ) HAVE been working on since I was ďŹ rst elected as a City Councillor in 1991. To see the FRUITS OF THIS LABOUR AS OUR #&, TEAM TOOK THE lELD ON *ULY TH AND OUR 5RBAN 0ARK OPENED TO THE PUBLIC ON !UGUST IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME &OR TOO LONG THIS SITE WAS an eyesore in the centre of our city but now it is ďŹ nally coming to life as a place that residents can be proud of and visitors will come to see. It was a long road getting to WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND OUR WORK IS NOT YET DONE BUT SEEING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT Lansdowne again and watching them enjoy the different elements of the site has been one of the highlights of my summer.

The second event that stands out for me from summer 2014 is marking the 50% completion mark of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) tunnel. This was another project that saw many stops and starts, redesigns, and second guesses. But this council set those ASIDE TO ACT ON A PLAN WITH A lXED PRICE CONTRACT THAT IS SEEING THE CENTRE OF OUR CITY TRANSFORMED AND BRINGING THE REST OF OUR CITY WITHIN REACH OF TRANSIT EXPANSION (AVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR THE ,24 TUNNEL ALONGSIDE 0REMIER +ATHLEEN 7YNNE AND -0 2OYAL 'ALIPEAU WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR ME 7E SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT #ITY (ALL TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS THE BIGGEST INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT in Ottawa in decades. To be able to go down in the tunnel and walk through almost METRES OF THE EXCAVATED WEST PORTAL REMINDED ME JUST HOW MUCH OF GAME changer the LRT is going to be for Ottawa and its residents. And to meet and thank some of those highly skilled workers who are doing the tunneling work made the day that much better.

It has been a busy summer but one that I look back on fondly. I hope that yours too was an enjoyable one and that we can get a few more weeks of summer weather before the leaves turn.

Hunt Club neighbourhood rocked by gunfire Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Dave and Carol Brown were sound asleep in their Hunt Club home early Sunday morning when, unbeknownst to them, a bullet ripped through their bedroom wall, whizzed less than one metre over their heads before grazing the ceiling and puncturing the opposite wall.

It was actually the sound of a prized football toppling over in the downstairs living room that woke Dave, though he had no idea yet it had been knocked over by a second bullet that pierced the wall, ricocheted off a football helmet before hitting the ball.

“When I first (saw) the hole (in the master bedroom) and I woke up my husband … I figured it was the guy behind us (in the attached house) who drilled the hole,” Carol said, adding that it wasn’t until she went out to walk the dog around 8:30 a.m. that she learned there had been a shooting at 6 a.m.

“I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” Carol said. “I turned white. I had to sit down when I found out it wasn’t a drill hole. It was a bullet hole.

“I’m still shook up about it.”

The city’s 26th shooting of the year, which Ottawa police confirm was a targeted attack, woke up many in the Quarry co-operative housing complex at 3275 McCarthy Rd., near Paul Anka Drive, which is a neighbourhood of attached homes.

Bullets were fired into two homes as well as the Brown’s, including a vacant house currently being repainted. Another bullet entered the house next door where a mother and her son were sleeping in an upstairs bedroom.

Investigators say they are fairly confident that the person who pulled the trigger intended to hit the house where the mother and child were sleeping.

“That was, we believe, the intended target, that residence, but not necessarily those occupants,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the police guns and gangs section.

The hypothesis police are currently working on is that

ERIN MCCRACKEN

Dave Brown points to a bullet hole above his side of the bed at the Quarry housing co-operative where he and his wife live at 3275 McCarthy Rd. Bullets were fired into his home and two nearby residences around 6 a.m. on Aug. 17. the shooter had come for the previous tenants. Bryden did not know how long ago they lived in the unit.

“Whoever pulled that trigger was looking for a certain person or a group of people,” said Bryden. “That’s the neighbourhood where the intended victims were supposed to be.”

While Bryden said his unit hasn’t responded to a shooting in that area for some time, he said street gang members and their associates are known to reside or hang out in the vicinity of Hunt Club Road, Paul Anka Drive and McCarthy Road.

Guns and gangs officers are now in the process of examining surveillance video of the area as well as re-canvassing the neighbourhood for eyewitness accounts. Initial reports and descriptions of possible suspects were “vague,” Bryden said. “Sometimes a few days pass and somebody becomes a little bit more comfortable, or they remember something.”

When the Browns pieced together what had happened, they quickly called police to their home.

While the couple said the neighbourhood where they have lived for about 35 years is very family oriented, they have had growing concerns about the Hunt Club area.

“I’m not concerned with

safety but it’s gotten bad in the last 15, 20 years,” Dave noted. “Too many non-desirables have moved in ... to the whole area.”

Still, they have no plans to let the shooting impact how they live their lives.

Asked if he wants to move in the wake of the recent gun violence, Dave said, “Hell no.

Where you going to go? What community doesn’t have something? There’s no sense in moving. “ Erin Kenny, who lives nearby in the same housing co-op, had planned to walk her dog right around the time the shots rang out. Her dog, thankfully, slept in.

The gun fire woke her up.

Her husband, who was already awake, said he heard a single gunshot, followed by several bullets fired in rapid succession.

“I wasn’t sure (what I heard),” Kenny said. “I initially assumed it was kids with fire crackers, because that happens sometimes.”

She went outside an hour later and one laneway in between two rows of housing was cordoned off by police.

Despite the gun violence, Kenny said the incident will do little to deter her from living her life, and she plans to continue walking her dog late in the evening.

“I walk her at midnight by

myself,” she said of her miniature poodle, Sweetie. And she said she and many of her

neighbours have no plans to let the recent incident affect the way they live.

“Everyone’s attitude is the same. They’re not going to change because of it,” she said. “They’re not going to stop the way they live because of it.”

The co-op neighbourhood is very family oriented, and children can often be seen playing together, said Kenny.

“That’s why we moved here. I feel safe.”

Carol’s husband suggested they might as well wait to plaster over the bullet holes in their living room and bedroom, since they had planned to eventually to paint the spaces again sometime in the future.

But Carol said she is unwilling to keep the bullet holes around. “‘No, I want the house plastered now,’” she said she told her husband, “because just looking at those I don’t sleep well. I didn’t sleep well last night at all.”

The head of the police guns and gangs unit expressed concern that this year’s tally of shootings is closing in on the 30 instances of gun violence last year.

“Obviously for me we’re way too close. The lower the number obviously the better,” Bryden said, adding that the city is closing in on the 30 to 35 shootings that have occurred on average every year over the past five years.

“I wouldn’t say we’re experiencing any increase at this point.”

Police have also made “fantastic headway” so far this year in combating gun violence, Bryden said, adding that investigators have seized 44 crime guns so far in 2014.

There have also been significant arrests of “key players in our world of street gangs,” he said. “We are fighting back.”

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

Faith groups ramping up Capital Pride participation Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Rev. Ross Hammond of St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Manotick with his husband Albert march in the 2013 Capital Pride parade downtown Ottawa. march, it’s not a cheer you get for the gyrating bodies, but there is a distinct cheer for us.

There are enough people on the side who are surprised,” Hammond said. “And every year, at least one of our group will have someone from the sidelines make their way into the parade to say thank you.”

His congregation is supportive overall, but Hammond recognizes he’ll never have 100 per cent unanimity on the issue – and that’s perfectly fine.

“One person said to me, ‘I’m very fond of you and Albert, but my concern is that by supporting the parade as an organization we are supporting everything that goes with that parade.’ And that was a legitimate concern,” R0012846679

News – Reverend Ross Hammond has been marching in Ottawa’s Capital Pride parade for at least 10 years.

For the past three, he’s had his rural parish alongside him.

Wearing his clerical collar and a rainbow stole, as many as 25 parishioners have joined him on the march downtown, which this year takes place Sunday, Aug. 24.

Hammond has led the congregation at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Manotick since 2010, and every year more of his parishioners have joined him and his husband Albert to show their support.

And in 2013, his parish council voted unanimously to officially march as the St. James congregation.

“I said, if we make it formal, we can take the church banner with us. And the discussion was basically, well, why wouldn’t we?” Hammond said.

That kind of blasé response to becoming an affirming house of worship is more commonplace than ever; the perception that all faith groups are like the infamous gay marriage picketers in Kansas is just not accurate.

“Last year, in our little part of the parade, there were Anglicans, a Jewish group, a Catholic group and a Muslim group,” Hammond said. Reaching out to marginalized factions of society is a big part of his congregation’s Christian calling – and since he’s gay, this seems to be the group on which they’ve alighted.

And there’s certainly room for their support.

“There are people out there who have been ostracized and shunned and damaged by their religious community,” Hammond said. “They look at a bunch of obvious Christians marching, holding signs that say ‘To love is to be connected to God’ ... that sends a message to a person of a sexual minority that they’re not excluded.”

Despite a steady rise in the number of faith groups taking part in Pride, Hammond said there are still people out there who don’t realize religious groups can be just as affirming and welcoming as other organizations.

“As the church begins to

Hammond said. He wants everyone in his congregation to feel comfortable talking out the issue, and their concerns about how the church supports the LGBT community. “We want everybody, including the person who said the parade is a bad idea, to feel like our church is a safe place.”

Every year, there are more affirming churches and places of worship coming on board.

The United Church of Canada seems to be leading the way on this, having developed a bureaucratic process to become an officially affirming congregation.

Affirm United requires an educational process, according to its website, that asks its

churches to “reflect on what it means to be inclusive,” create an action plan, commit to the national affirmation program

and implement an inclusive marriage policy. The process concludes with a celebration service to officially declare the church a welcoming place for all.

United Church-goer Myles Frosst is a member of the Ottawa presbytery’s new diversity committee, and he’s been scrambling to compile a list of LGBT-friendly faith groups in Ottawa in time for Capital Pride’s community fair, which takes place after the parade.

It’s by no means exhaustive, but Frosst said it includes United, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Presbyterian churches, as well as at least one synagogue and the same Muslim prayer group Hammond saw last year.

The Universalist Muslims last year marched alongside residents of Faith House, an interfaith group that lives in a house in Sandy Hill with a mandate to promote social justice. “(The Universalist Muslims) and our house together formed the Spiritual Progressives, and we marched under that banner,”

said Caroline John, a member of Faith House.

The house has room for six residents, who generally stay two years and are expected to be queer affirming, John said.

Right now, the house has Buddhist, Unitarian, Christian/ Hindu and agnostic residents who all believe that religious organizations have a role in supporting sexual minorities.

“People come from all walks of life, and you constantly run into people who have repelled religion out of their lives because it’s been a contradiction to them or a negative source in their life,” John said. “And that’s just not how it’s supposed to be.”

Hammond said the presence of religious groups in Pride needs to continue to grow – not just to promote the idea of affirming congregations, but to continue to combat homophobia altogether.

“The day Albert and I can walk down any street and not worry about holding hands is the day I don’t need to march in the parade,” he said.

CHEO using technology to link family doctors, specialist physicians Staff

News - The regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital is now using a new high-tech service that has already proven effective in reducing the time it takes to access a specialist physician, translating into improved patient care.

Family doctors are now able to have specialists at the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario who work in the areas of anesthesiology, cardiology, chronic pain, general pediatrics, genetics, neurology and psychiatry, among several others, to consult on patient cases through eConsult.

The service provides physicians and specialists with a secure way to communicate directly online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What used to take weeks or months for an elective consultation can now be done in minutes, relieving the stress of patient families and physicians, in the community and beyond,â&#x20AC;?

CHEO is now using, eConsult, a high-tech service that provides family doctors and specialist physicians with a secure way to communicate online.

Dr. Lillian Lai, a lead on the initiative and a CHEO cardiologist, said in a statement issued Aug. 13.

In addition to fostering teamwork between family doctors and CHEO specialists, CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and chief executive

officer Alex Munter said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be a benefit to patients in Ottawa but especially to those in eastern and northern Ontario, allowing families to get an exceptional CHEO patient experience without having to make a trip into the city.â&#x20AC;?

Offered through the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, the Champlain BASE eConsult service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which stands for Building Access to Specialists through eConsultation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was first used collaboratively in 2010 by the Ottawa Hospital, the Champlain LHIN, the Winchester District Memorial Hospital and the Bruyère Research Institute.

Since July 1 of this year, specialists have responded within an average of two days to more than 3,400 cases through eConsult. The service now has 443 family doctors and nurse practitioners registered, providing access to 48 different specialties.

In the pilot phase of the initiative, there were more than 400 eConsults â&#x20AC;&#x153;with results indicating 43 per cent of the cases resulted in avoidance of an unnecessary referral for the patient, which in turn has shortened the wait times for others,â&#x20AC;? CHEO said in a statement.

Pickling and preserving time a busy occasion for Mary and family The air was heavy in the summer kitchen.

Spices, boiling sugar, and sealers in a pot of hot water, filled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand.

It was pickling and preserving time on the farm in Renfrew County.

The swinging shelf, in the dug-out that served as our cellar, was just about bare, and what Mother was “putting down” would see us through the winter at least, and hopefully until the next crop of produce was ready for picking.

The summer had been good to our garden.

Soft rainy days, hot sun, and cool evenings guaranteed a good crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherries from trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into jams, jellies and preserves. The crops were so ample, that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Saturdays with her eggs, homemade butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us.

My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden. As long as I was in on

MARY COOK Memories the action that was enough to satisfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the summer kitchen.

“Putting down” was always like a miracle to me. Especially when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abundance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in another dishpan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked.

Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for “putting down,” and to leave the smaller ones which would grow into a good length before you knew it. I would put the dishpan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean -- not a handful at a time, but one bean after another Then they

were laid out on a clean tea towel, and patted dry.

Mother fed them into big sealers, poured in the boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days -- not one day, not three days, but two days. Mother said the timing was important according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter.

The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets.

The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout.

Pickling and preserving went on for weeks.

As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away.

But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in a corner of the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork.

Wealth lay in food: Mary Cook Berry caramel frozen yogurt Continued from page 51

There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fine, but we always had ample food to put on

the table.

Father, believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family.

We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter, the hand-me-down box

from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand.

And when I saw that swinging shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact, we were very rich indeed.

PREPARATION

Chop the rice cakes and set 250 ml (1 cup) aside.In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, pureed strawberries, orange liqueur (if using) and chopped rice cakes. Spoon the mixture into a 23 centimetre (9-inch) springform pan and smooth the top, then sprinkle with the remaining rice cakes. Cover and freeze until firm -- about four

hours. (Make-ahead: Overwrap in heavy-duty foil and freeze for up to three days.)

To serve, remove the side of the pan and slice the cake into wedges. Garnish each slice with half a strawberry and drizzle with strawberry sauce.

Strawberry sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, liqueur (if using) and sugar. Transfer half the mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the remaining berries and mix to blend.

Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

(Make-ahead: Can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)

Tip: To soften frozen yogurt, leave it at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago. children, youth and families deserve to Moving forward 80 percent of the interest million.

In 25 years $6.4 million a difference in the lives of young patients (80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million at CHEO today, and for future generations.

Teach children the love of reading books early in life News - Reading is an important life-long skillâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and developing strong reading habits from an early age sets the stage for life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for young children have strong reading skills, getting kids to embrace reading is not always as simple,â&#x20AC;? says Nick Whitehead, the founder and CEO of Oxford Learning.

Fortunately there are several strategies that parents can take to help their kids improve both their love of reading and their reading skills.

According to Dr. Whitehead, the number one thing that parents can do to improve their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading ability is to simply make books available in the home and to have a regular reading time.

He also suggests some other simple ideas to encourage reading such as going to the library

together, reading books together as a family, reading a book series, or listening to audio books in the car.

For parents who have tried all the basic tips and still have difficulty getting their children to embrace reading, Dr. Whitehead suggests that parents of older children give their kids banned books or let them read above their skill level.

Studies have shown that telling a child a book is banned sparks their interest to read it more.

For younger children, parents can stop reading right at a pivotal point to guarantee that children become interested enough to read on by themselves to find out what happens next.

Learn studying tips Lifestyles - What do ďŹ ngers and hands have to do with how well studied material can be recalled?

According to research, the physical act of holding a pen and writing something out by hand stimulates critical activity in speciďŹ c areas of the brain.

In a recent study, one group learned the alphabet by writing the letters out by hand.

The other group read solely off computers.

The group who wrote out the letters by hand had better recall and scored better on tests.

According to Dr. Nick Whitehead, the CEO and founder of Oxford Learning, these studies prove what educators have long known about studying and remembering, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many different ways to approach the process of studying, but one of the bestknown has always been to create study notes using pen and paper,â&#x20AC;? he said.

It may seem an old-fashioned practice given the abundance of personal technology that students have at their ďŹ ngertips, but the act of physically writing creates a motor memory in the brain that improves recall. Not only do study notes help students organize the material, the act of holding the pen and writing notes makes the study process active, rather than passive.

HOW TO CREATE STUDY NOTES:

â&#x20AC;˘ Grab a pen and paper. â&#x20AC;˘ Read over all in-class or textbook notes. â&#x20AC;˘ Write down subject headings, subheadings, and bolded or key words. â&#x20AC;˘ Focus on writing down the ideas or concepts that are the most challenging, or that are the most difďŹ cult to remember.

A garbage-free lunch box Lifestyle - Every day, children eat the contents of their lunch boxes then throw containers, packaging, and nonrecyclable bags into the garbage. Collectively, that means millions of tonnes of garbage are generated unnecessarily â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just one child eating prepackaged food in individual portions produces 13.5 kg of garbage per year. It is deďŹ nitely time to review how we prepare lunches so we can pack garbage-free lunch boxes. Make it your ďŹ rst lesson of this new school year.

VCLC is unique in that they will listen to you and learn about your child to identify your goals, your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and the classroom goals to create an achievable plan. What sets Venta Community Learning Centre apart is that they promise to work as a team with you, your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher and your child, to identify areas of strength and areas to work on, while building your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conďŹ dence and self-conďŹ dence.

We are all unique learners. Children need to understand their own learning proďŹ le, in order for them to learn how they learn best.

By doing all of these things, in a warm and nurturing environment, your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivation will increase; your child will become an active learner, and ultimately, your child will gain conďŹ dence in all areas of life, not just academics. Learning is so much more than sitting at a desk, and at Venta, they believe in developing your whole child, through knowledge, acceptance, achievement and a sense of community. After all, the days are long but the years are short, and in this integral time in your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, it does take a village to raise a child.

How to succeed? Simple!

Re-use. Start by purchasing large format containers of yogurt and put an individual portion in a small, reusable container. Do the same thing for juice. Forget about individually wrapped cookies; purchase

them in large quantities or bake some at home, and store them in reusable containers.

Reusable containers are also great for sandwiches and raw vegetables.

Fruits come in their very own natural packaging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the peel! And if you need utensils to eat your lunch, be sure to bring some real ones, not plastic, from home.

At the end of the lunch hour, use one of the empty containers for collecting all compostable food so that you can put it in the compost bin once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back home.

All these actions are not only good for the environment but they can also save you lots of money.

Why? Because the cost of packaged foods is higher than that of foods purchased in large quantities or, better still, that are homemade.

Start this school year off on the right foot!

Give your child the tools they need for increased motivation, conďŹ dence and better grades.

Call us or visit our website to learn more about our study skills, tutoring and enrichment programs, individually created for your child.

Lifestyle - The start of a new school year also means the return of homework. Here are five tricks to keep this daily chore from becoming a source of conflict between kids and parents. â&#x20AC;˘ Establish a routine. Homework should be done at a set time to avoid negotiations and instill self-discipline in kids.

The ideal time is as soon as they get home from school, after a snack. â&#x20AC;˘ Start with the most difficult tasks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to start with what kids like the least or the subject they find most

school-age kids are bound to lose concentration after about 20 minutes. When you notice that happening, give them a short break of a predetermined duration. â&#x20AC;˘ Create motivation. If the kids have a hard time sitting still, get them to spell words while throwing a ball in the air or going up and down stairs.

Or promise to play with them for 15 minutes as soon as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finished their homework. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you to find the best way to motivate them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no one knows your kids better than you.

difficult; after a day at school, kids are already tired of concentrating and will be less and less attentive as the minutes go by. This will also allow them to finish their home- work on a positive note. â&#x20AC;˘ Have everything close at hand. Make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outfitted with a pencil case containing sharpened pencils, pencil sharpener, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a compass, and anything else that is needed. This will cut short the imaginative ways kids can delay starting their homework. â&#x20AC;˘ Take a break. Primary

Dyslexia has direct impact on academic performance Lifestyle - Does your child read very slowly and inaccurately?

Maybe you should check to see if he or she is part of the 8 to 12 per cent of the population struggling with dyslexia.

This learning disability is neurological in origin and is presumed to be genetically determined.

The main symptoms of this disability vary in severity and in presentation from one person to an-

other.

SYMPTOMS

â&#x20AC;˘ Slow reading, especially when reading less frequently used words. â&#x20AC;˘ Tentative reading, shown as difficulty breaking down words and translating letters into sounds. â&#x20AC;˘ Mixing up the sounds associated with letters. â&#x20AC;˘ Inaccurate reading of words that

are not spelled according to common patterns. â&#x20AC;˘ Reading words by guessing what they are from their visual appearance.

It is a well-known fact that dyslexia has a direct and significant impact on academic performance.

It can lead to difficulty in reading comprehension, a limited vocabulary, problems learning a second language, and pervasive problems

when reading and writing are required.

THE COURSE TO FOLLOW

At school, a personalized intervention plan and good cooperation between the various professionals can enable children to progress in their schooling.

Here are a few ways this work can be continued at home:

â&#x20AC;˘ Build a love of reading. Read different kinds of writing to your child, or read together. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage the accurate reading of words. â&#x20AC;˘ Read simple texts together, such as jokes, recipes, and the like. â&#x20AC;˘ Help your child to understand language rules.

Play word games or board games such as Scrabble, Hangman, and Scattergories.

Buying a backpack in five lessons Lifestyle - A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backpack is a trusty companion; kids are rarely seen without them.

However, a poorly adjusted backpack, or one that is too heavy, can cause back, shoulder, and neck pain. One teenager out of two suffers from back pain at least once a month, and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing on their backs may very well be the cause.

That is a good reason to

learn these five lessons about backpacks. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop with your children.

Having the child with you is the only way to choose a backpack that will be the right size. The backpack should not be higher than the shoulders or wider than the back, and should reach down to just above the hips. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose the right material. A light synthetic canvas is better than a heavier cotton or

leather. An empty bag should weigh no more than 500 g for a child and 1 kg for a teenager. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose a neutral colour.

A neutral bag will better stand up to changing fashions. Expensive designer brand bags could also be a poor choice; kids grow up fast! â&#x20AC;˘ Examine the shoulder straps. These should be at least 5 cm wide and be adjustable and padded. A waist strap and a chest strap allow for better weight distribution. â&#x20AC;˘ Educate your children.

Teach kids to only bring home what is strictly necessary in order to do their homework.

The weight of the filled bag shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed 10 percent of their body weight.

Smart tips for cool teens Lifestyle - Teenaged girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, increasingly, boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are intensely conscious of their appearance.

They want to wear different clothes every day, and expensive labels are usually preferred.

But parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wallets have their limits, and teenagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; even more so.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dollars and pick up some sensible spending habits. â&#x20AC;˘ Exchange clothes. At the beginning of a new school year, young people are sometimes fed up with clothes that are neither worn out nor outdated. This is when parents can suggest exchanging clothes with friends, on the principle that what is old for them is new for others. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch out for sales. It is useful to teach young people to watch out for sales. Taking

advantage of substantial discounts at the end of a season will let them buy items at lower prices. â&#x20AC;˘ Visit thrift stores. Help teens discover the fun and good sense of these shops, where original, quality clothing can be found for almost nothing. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose sustainable â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentialsâ&#x20AC;?. Help children understand that it is better to pay a little more for some timeless items rather than having to replace them year after year. This is as much a financial consideration as an environmental one. â&#x20AC;˘ Beware of expensive labels. Allow teens to include a few flashy labels in their wardrobe, but no more than that. Help them understand that the people they are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what they say and what they do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is much more important than what they wear.

Rising soccer star heads to Real Madrid training camp emma.jackson@metroland.com

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Every soccer player worth his cleats dreams of one day playing in the World Cup. Greely teen Haydn Bechthold is closer to realizing that dream as he spends eight days at the Real Madrid training facility in Spain this week, learning with some of the top youth players in the world.

The 16-year-old Ottawa Fury Academy forward was scouted for the prestigious spot last month, at a New Jersey game in the SuperY League, of which his Fury team is a part.

Fury lost, but Bechthold played well. After the game, a man he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know shook his hand and complimented his ability on the field.

Bechthold thought nothing of it.

The next week, his coach, Christian Hoefler, told him the man was Luis Mendoza, director of coaching for the Real Madrid Select Program. Mendoza had personally invited Bech-

thold to join about 35 other elite youth players in Spain between Aug. 16 and 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was sleeping on the bus, and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;was I dreaming that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Bechthold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never really think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go to Madrid.â&#x20AC;?

The blonde-haired teen left on Saturday, Aug. 16 to join his peers from US, Mexico and Brazil in Spain. He is the only Canadian in the group.

The group will follow an intense schedule of advanced technical and tactical training, onfield problem solving, performance evaluations and pre-season preparation.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also play two matches: one against the Real Madrid Academy team, and another against the Rayo Vallecano youth academy.

Possibly the best part is the chance to watch matches between Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid - meaning theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in action.

That alone is a dream come true for the teen, )/!-!./! %) #*%)# /* '#*),0%) *''!#! /$%. " ''

Bechthold said being headhunted for this opportunity left him a bit gobsmacked while he rushed to get to Madrid with less than a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice.

Ottawa Fury coach Christian Hoefler said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprised his student was offered this opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely versatile and extremely dynamic. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one who plays very simple and quick,â&#x20AC;? said Hoefler, who has been coaching the teen for about a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shocked (when Mendoza chose him). I know he has the ability and I needed to get him exposed.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, one look at Bechtholdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage tells you everything you need to know about his potential for greatness.

His grandfather was Robert Kelly, one of the best soccer players in Canada in the 1950s and early 1960s. Kelly captained the Canadian AllStars and the Ontario All-Stars against teams from across the globe, including Mexico, Leningrad and Bermuda. After playing with Ulster United SC in Toronto, he made history when he was traded for $1,500 to play for the Italia SC. Those skills have proven undeniably hereditary, as they have carried on to both of Bechtholdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sisters, as well: his oldest sister has left for Converse College in South Carolina to play varsity soccer on a scholarship, and his younger sister plays for the Ottawa Fury FC Ontario Player Development League.

Bechthold said his dream is to play professionally, just like his grandfather â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, at this point, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much care where. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any team that pays me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be like (my grandfather),â&#x20AC;?

Bechthold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to play professionally to say there were two in the family.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well on his way to making good on that

Sixteen-year-old Haydn Bechthold practices between the makeshift soccer nets in his Greely backyard on Aug. 13 before heading to Madrid, Spain. dream; coaches and scouts from around the world are expected to look in on the training program while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to be seen and say I played in Madrid against the best kids,â&#x20AC;? he said.
