Chamber votes unanimously for name change Board given go ahead for west Ottawa rebranding

ing to gauge the support of its membership on the possibility of changing its moniker to the West Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. Ninety-four people voted in person or by proxy to allow the board of directors to proceed with the name change at their discretion. The chamber needed a
minimum of 70 votes, and one vote was available to each member business. “That is the most unanimous vote I think I’ve ever seen,” said chamber executive director Rosemary Leu, as a sea of pink and yellow vote cards were raised in the air. The west end organization, which represents businesses in the communities of Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton, is in the process of renaming
itself to better reflect its membership base. Only 55 per cent of its businesses are located in Kanata. “One of the goals is to evolve and be representative of our membership within the greater Ottawa area,” said Kanata chamber president Greg Weatherdon. “We want to be known as a voice for this part of the city.”

Approval given despite Ottawa chamber’s threat of legal action Continued from page 1
But the Kanata chamber hit a snag in the renaming effort earlier this month when the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce sent a letter threatening potential legal action if the West Ottawa name was adopted. The special members meeting, originally scheduled for July 23, was postponed so the Kanata chamber could seek legal opinion. Ottawa Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Ian Farris said in an earlier interview that his organization, founded under a special statute in 1957 and governed by
directors to proceed with the name change, at their discretion. “This is step one of potentially many,” said Weatherdon. “It’s a journey ahead of us.” If the board decides against the rebranding effort, the organization will continue under its current name. “The intent, really, is to better define the membership and who we represent in this city because it’s fuzzy. Unless you were born in Kanata or Goulbourn or West Carleton, you don’t know where the boundaries are,” said Weatherdon. “We’re not looking to poach; we’re not looking to expand our geography. We just want
the Federal Boards of Trade Act, owns the legal right to the name Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. Farris said the Kanata name change would be understood within the city, but businesses coming from outside the municipality’s limits may not understand the distinction between Ottawa and west Ottawa chambers. Both Leu and Weatherdon said they tried unsuccessfully to set up a meeting on multiple occasions with the Ottawa chamber to discuss any issues – even before announcing a special members meeting. However, the unanimous vote by the Kanata chamber’s members allows the board of
R0012261615_0822
to have a simpler name that better reflects our organization. “We will move forward but at no time will we do anything that will hurt the membership.” The chamber’s current tagline “Serving the communities of Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton” will remain as is, said Leu. “It’s a name change, not a territory change,” she said. “We (will) retain the distinct membership and geography of our west Ottawa community.” Past presidents and board members contacted Leu to offer their support for the potential name change. Tom Flood, a founding member of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce when it
separated from the Nepean Chamber of Commerce in 1991, said he wholeheartedly agrees that calling the organization West Ottawa is in the chamber’s best interests. “The chamber of commerce name needs to represent the people we serve, the businesses we serve,” said Flood. “This existing chamber has done a wonderful job of merging West Carleton, Goulbourn and Kanata. “Those are the people that we represent.” The Kanata chamber’s 400plus member businesses are located in the following areas: • Kanata: 55 per cent • Goulbourn: 14 per cent • West Carleton: 11 per cent • Nepean: 10 per cent
• Greater Ottawa area: six per cent • Out of town: three per cent “It’s a big geography that is no longer just Kanata,” said Weatherdon, adding the chamber doesn’t see any major costs associated with changing the name. “It becomes a challenge when we try to embrace them under the Kanata umbrella. That’s why we’re here.” The board of directors is in the process of obtaining official legal opinion to help guide the chamber through the potential rebranding, said Leu. No deadline was announced for the board’s decision on the name change. The Kanata chamber’s annual general meeting will be held on Sept. 18.

Meet Kathy Thauberger stylist & colour expert
After moving to Nova Scotia in 1992, Kathy worked for both Goldwell and Schwarzkopf Professional as Haircolour Educator for Atlantic Canada, in addition to her skills as a stylist ‘behind the chair’ at Hair Expressions in Greenwood, NS. It was during this 13-year period that Kathy received “finalist” status as Atlantic Artist at the Canadian Hairdressing awards, and was published in Canadian Hairdresser as one of Canada’s top Colour Success Stories.
After moving to Ottawa in 2005, Kathy became a full-time educator for Schwarzkopf Professional where she kept the city’s top salons (including Mahogany) trained in current hair trends and techniques, and was an in-demand on-stage presenter and educator all over Canada. To say that we are excited that Kathy is now bringing her skills, energy, and talent to Mahogany Salon and Spa would be an understatement.

He’s been active with the charity for more than two years. “It’s a way of giving back to my community,” he said. The Ottawa Corporate Challenge will feature a mix of mainstream and alternative sports, as well as fun team-building activities, such as beach volleyball, mini-soccer, ultimate Frisbee and goalball – a sport designed for the visually impaired. Goalball uses a soft, mid-size ball with a bell in it; teammates lie on the ground and have to navigate the ball into the opposite net. “That’s the one I want to really see being done,” said Dawson, adding the day is a way for colleagues to get to know one another in a fun setting. “It really gets the business community involved in sports and team building,” he said. “It’s getting them active within their community.”

We did really good,” said Lily. Wendy said she was incredibly appreciative of all the support the family received. “A sincere thank you to all the neighbours, friends and family who contributed to the day – we couldn’t have done this without each and every one of you,” she said, adding she also wanted to thank the Eagleson Road Starbucks and Beer Store locations, and the Pizza Pizza on Hazeldean Road for their help and support during the event. Since 2007, the Bridlewood family has raised $9,000 for CHEO and the food cupboard, and this year’s tally helped them surpass their goal of donating a total of $10,000. The idea for a bottle drive started when Wendy and her husband Kevin asked their children to come up with a plan to get involved and help out their local community. The family

The family’s sixth-annual bottle drive brought in just under $1,900 in funds, with more than $1,500 going to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and more than $300 to the Kanata Food Cupboard’s school supplies’ drive. ® UNILOCK Pavers Lily went up to about 50 doors during the bottle drive, NatUraL stONe PrOdUCts which took place on Aug. 10, BOULders, deCOratIve stONe to ask people to donate funds, food or empty wine, beer and PIsa retaININg WaLL systems liquor bottles to the fundraiser. stONe dUst, saNd Her pitch: “We’re the Kreative Kids who Kare.

chose CHEO as the charity recipient because each child has needed treatment there at one time or another. Last year, all donations went to help the Kanata Food Cupboard, which had issued a plea to the community because its stores were depleting. This year, donations helped both organizations. Karen Waters, client co-ordinator at the food cupboard, said she was amazed by this year’s results. “I think this is totally amazing what they’ve done,” she said. “They’ve blown us away.” Waters said she hopes other people will see what the Crepeault family has accomplished and help by hosting their own donation drives as well. “It will help out families who have enough to worry about,” she said. “People have a hard enough time day-to-day, parents are stressed enough. This alleviates that stress a little bit.” Last year, the food cupboard helped 119 elementary school students with supplies, as well as 65 high school students, seven post-secondary students, and seven adults heading back to the classroom.

Give Ottawa its casino cut
O
ttawa’s top doctor says a new casino would be bad for our health. No argument there. A casino invites customers to gamble their hard-earned cash, promising a big payoff if they win. The problem is most people don’t win. For many, dropping a couple hundred dollars at the craps tables and slot machines is simply the price of admission for an enjoyable night out on the town. For some, casinos feed an uncontrollable addiction, encouraging people to gamble away their rent money, retirement savings, or in extreme cases their home. But these addicts are a minority, the cost of doing business. And casinos are big business for both municipalities and the province, taking in hundreds of millions of dollars from residents – an inelastic source of income. Dr. Isra Levy, Ottawa’s chief medical officer of health, who is obviously a realist, realizes the city will be unable to resist the lure of building a casino. As a realist, Levy is recommending the city pump $2 million into community-based gambling treatment services, a steep increase from the $741,000 the Champlain Local Health Integration
Network currently receives to fund programs in Ottawa, a number that hasn’t changed since 2007. He is also recommending the municipality allocate 6.5 per cent of its annual take of casino revenue, which amounts to around $350,000 of what the city currently receives from the RideauCarleton Raceway slots, to gambling prevention programs run by Ottawa Public Health. Levy’s recommendations are a reasonable compromise. If the city turns down the opportunity to build a casino, people will simply head across the Ottawa River to gamble at Casino du Lac Lemy in Gatineau. Since Lac Lemy first opened in 1996, millions of local and tourist dollars have travelled out of Ottawa and Ontario to the Gatineau casino. Every last cent lost at the Gatineau casino ends up in Quebec coffers. Simply put, we want our cut. We can continue to do nothing and watch money leave the province and the city, or we can try and keep a slice of one very large pie. If there are going to be casinos, it’s critical that the profits do some good for Ottawans and Ontarians.

ome sights challenge your basic assumptions. Such as seeing an 80-year-old guy in a shopping centre with his laptop open playing solitaire. What are the basic assumptions about 80-year-old guys? First, when they are in the shopping centre they’re reading the paper, or talking with other 80-year-old guys, or maybe in running shoes doing the mall walk. Second basic assumption: 80-year-old guys are not into computers. Computers are for young people. Old people are confused by computers and do crossword puzzles instead. It takes only a little calculating to figure out why these assumptions are wrong. Personal computers became popular in the mid-‘80s and by that time many people were already using computers at work. So do the math: if you’re 45 in 1980, working with a computer, you’re 78 now and computers have been with you much of your adult life. Of course you play solitaire on the computer now – you probably did at work. As an aside, it’s funny that you never see anyone in public playing solitaire with cards. The laptop in the mall is part of a changing world, one in which people of all ages

The extreme versions of this can be annoying – take a look at that couple in the restaurant, both absorbed in their phones, watch out for that guy texting on the Queensway – but it’s probably here for as long as the Earth’s batteries hold out. It’s changed our world in obvious ways, but also in ways that you might not have expected. The use of the iPhone or BlackBerry or iPad makes instantly available the information you used to have to go home to look up, or even visit the library, like what was the name of that early John le CarrÊ novel, or who played that blonde woman in Taxi Driver.

editor at 1 a.m. anymore, wanting him or her to settle an argument about the 1978 Calder Trophy winner. (It was Mike Bossy, since you ask, or Bobby Smith, if you’re thinking the 1978-79 season.) Our commercial world is now encouraging the omnipresence of electronics. We’re all familiar with the laptop in the coffee shop – all too familiar, if we’re searching for a seat. It used to be that only the trendier places enabled laptoppers to connect via Wi-Fi. Now Wi-Fi is in Tim Hortons, not to mention just about every roadside motel. More and more enterprises, from airports to shopping centres, are accommodating themselves to the computer generation – which, as we have now seen, includes all generations. Church is next. There may remain a few generational differences. My guess is that many older people haven’t quite figured out how Twitter is relevant to their lives and Facebook is a taste that not all of them have acquired -- although the appeal of daily photos of grandchildren may be luring some older people in. The initial impulse is to regret the fact that the wireless generation is now all of us, that the Wi-Fi has come to the shopping centre. We picture malls jammed with Sudoku-play-
ing senior laptoppers, added to the hoards of teenagers and lawyers staring into their phones. But it may not be so bad. For one thing, it may help get people out of their houses. The sad irony about computers is they help us get in touch with the world while we sit alone in front of the screen. So even if the senior is going to the mall to check his email or play solitaire, at least he’s surrounded by other people. He may even bump into someone he knows and can grab a coffee, if all the seats aren’t already occupied by people with laptops.

Mothering in isolation Liberal party lacks a platform LETTER
he death of 32-yearold Winnipeg mother Lisa Gibson just days after her daughter and infant son were found dead in their home is nothing short of tragic. At a memorial service, there were rallying cries for an examination into Manitoba’s mental health services. While it is not yet known whether Gibson killed her children, it is known that she suffered from a severe form of postpartum depression. Across social media, people began questioning what would compel a mother to kill her own offspring. Maybe, one friend pondered, mothers feel too far removed from parenting by instinct. Anyone who has children, or who is going to have a child, or who even thinks about having children is immediately offered a platter of unsolicited advice, she noted. Not to mention the Internet. Between our obsession with celebrity parents and the mommy bloggers and news-on-demand, it’s hard to avoid conflicting information on parenting wherever you go. But if mothers are more depressed than they have been in the past, I’d wager it has more to do with the isolation of motherhood than with anything else. Until the post-war era, most women stayed home with their children, which is isolating unto itself. But many lived in multi-generational homes, which meant a lot of women had their own mothers, aunts and sisters to help them through the tough moments of parenting. And there are many. In many Aboriginal cultures, likewise, the community is very much expected to help
T
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse raise children. It is not meant to be a solo venture. But in modern day, we have women -- often women who have been active in their social and work lives – suddenly confined to the home when baby is born. This is even more pronounced with the current push for attachment parenting techniques, with the underlying message that women should never be away from their children for a second. Eight years ago, when my first child was born, I remember waking him in the morning and thinking, “what am I going to do with you all day?” None of my friends had children and I had only recently moved back to Ottawa, in a neighbourhood where I didn’t really know anyone. At that time, my spouse was travelling for work, which meant 12 hours a day – and more during the night-waking phase – I was completely on my own. Sometimes I’d wander the neighbourhood or the mall, hoping to meet someone like me. I remember looking forward to his check-ups at the doctor’s office, as an excuse to get us out of the house so I could speak to another adult. I eventually discovered playgroups, which were more for my socialization than for my child’s. I’d show up thirty minutes early for one particularly popular group in Vanier
at the time, determined to get a place for a couple of hours. I was fortunate to find a couple of women and men there that liked to talk politics and world affairs. I wasn’t fortunate enough to be able to carry on complete conversations, with our focus always on the kids. I’ve seen women, like me, walking around the neighbourhood we now live in, hoping to catch a glimpse of another parent and child, someone, anyone they can talk to. My friends in other cities, away from their families and friends, post on Facebook frequently, a call to the outside world to “please talk to me in something other than single syllables!” While midwives, maternity hospital staff and community centres these days are very good at pushing breastfeeding and attachment parenting, they’re not so good at reminding women that it’s not only okay, but recommended, that they maintain some connection with the adults in their lives. Before baby arrives, all those advising women, and women, themselves, would do well to propagate the importance of establishing social and professional networks that can be maintained – as a high priority – post-partum. Otherwise, I guarantee, mothering an infant may be one of the most isolating things you ever do.

To the editor,
Re: Column, “Federal Liberal Party’s platform may have gone up in smoke,” Aug. 8. I thoroughly agree with Brynna Leslie’s views on the federal Liberal party’s platform – or lack thereof. I am a senior citizen and a long standing Liberal. Ever since the party was destroyed by the bickering between the Chrétien and Martin camps it has been extremely difficult for Liberals to vote at election time. We have had no leadership worth voting for for a considerable amount of time. This, as you know has been demonstrated by the low numbers of voters for Liberal candidates for some
time now. I value my right to vote and did show up at the voting stations to register my presence but returned the ballet unmarked in the ballet box rather than vote for the Conservatives or the NDP. Although I would have preferred that Justin Trudeau wait another four years before considering the Liberal leadership so that he could gain a bit more experience, I was somewhat encouraged by the statements he made about the changes needed in the Liberal party and had some hope that he would bring about the badly needed changes. However, the statement he made in British Columbia recently only proves that he is first and foremost a politician – when addressing an
R0301959251
audience in any particular area of the country, say what you think the people want to hear. Legalizing marijuana would no doubt be a very popular political move in British Columbia. I was very disappointed to hear Justin Trudeau making such a statement. There are so many critically important issues facing Canadians today and no one seems willing or able to address them. Once again the Liberal party is ignoring the problems within the party, the lack of any solid and badly needed policies, as well as a well-defined platform aimed at improving the lives of Canadians across this country.

Networking group gives women a boost in business Kanata, Osgoode chapters open this year Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - Shawna Norwood knows how difficult it can be to meet people. She moved from Osgoode to Sudbury, Ont. in 2010 when her husband took a position as deputy fire chief and operations manager at the Sudbury airport. The founder of McLean Media and Event Management, Norwood found herself in the position of having to re-establish her business in a new city without the benefit of knowing a soul. Starting over, she had to get to know the right people – and quickly, she said. “It was difficult having to start from scratch in an area where no one knew me,” said Norwood. “I realized I needed to reach out fast and hard.” So she developed BoostWomen, a
networking organization that offers women in business the opportunity to get together once a month for dinner, followed by a motivational workshop. The Sudbury chapter has grown to more than 400 members. “Never did I realize it would have the impact it did,” said Norwood. She launched the second chapter in Kanata last month and has plans to open a third in Osgoode in September. Norwood said she was surprised to hear there were few options for women in business to meet once a month and connect in Ottawa. “There wasn’t really anything for them in the west end; not really any opportunities to network, have a sit down dinner, to get to know each other on a personal level,” she said. “I realized it was time to expand the BoostWomen in business network for other business owners to enjoy.” There is no membership fee to join; people just pay for the dinner, which

costs $40. “We don’t charge for membership; no membership fees, no annual fee, no vendor fee to set up a display table – we don’t even charge for business to have their own unique profile on our website. Women pay for the dinner and that’s it,” said Norwood. “I wanted a group that was affordable for all … By not charging allows women to want to come out and see what all this is about. Then they come out and they realize how great it is and that it is a women’s networking dinner but it is also very fun and social.” The first local event, held at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Kanata, attracted more than 40 women, with some coming from as far as Orléans, Embrun, Casselman and Carleton Place, said BoostWomen Kanata chapter president Colleen Lyle. Lyle is a real estate agent with Keller Williams Ottawa Realty and founder of the Silver Lining Program, where proceeds from homes sold can be donated to a local family dealing with a life-threatening illness. BoostWomen has given Lyle a platform to discuss her projects and connect with other women in business. “The key to being successful in any business is putting yourself out there,” she said. “You can no longer have a website and do some marketing material and assume you’re going to be successful. In this day and age it’s all about getting out there, putting your feet on the ground and shaking hands.” The Stittsville resident said she was searching for alternatives to the early-morning network opportunities because as a mother of three, she spends the first part of her day making sure her children are prepared for school. “I’ve actually gotten to a point where I just won’t do them,” Lyle said. “It’s unfeasible.” She stumbled upon BoostWomen, which fills the gap for female profes-

The evening consists of open networking and the opportunity for people to showcase their profession or their products, dinner and a motivational guest speaker. “The nice thing about Boost was we all got to sit down for a dinner that we didn’t cook, talk as women and support each other’s businesses,” said Lyle. Lyle said she encourages women to check out a BoostWomen event.

“Think about the possibilities of networking with people who want to network with you. You never know what could happen,” she said. “You could come out not only with a new client but possibly with a new friend.” The Kanata chapter hosts dinners on the fourth Monday of every month, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Holiday Inn & Suites Kanata. The next networking dinner will be held on Aug. 26. Sherry Crummy, owner of Crummy Media Solutions, will be the guest speaker. The Osgoode chapter is slated to have its first dinner on Sept. 24 at the Red Dot Café, and continue every fourth Tuesday, from 6 to 9 p.m. Applications for chapter president will be accepted at the first dinner event. Norwood said she chose Osgoode as the third community to open a chapter because there are no networking opportunities in that end of the city. “I just feel I need to bring a group like this to Osgoode,” she said. “(It) doesn’t have a women’s group. I just want to bring something this fabulous back to my hometown … so women have a means to reach out to one another.” Norwood, a mother of five children, said being too busy is no excuse to not attend the once-a-month dinner. “Women need to get out once a month; not only do you need it for personal development, you deserve it,” she said. “I could not have grown my business with such speed, but more importantly without the encouragement that women need from other women.” She added she is open to creating chapters in other communities in the city if there is a need. “If there is someone in the community where they feel there is a need for a group like this, I’m very open to talking with them,” she said.

Daniel Alfredsson answers questions from the media on his decision to depart Ottawa for Detroit. Failed contract talks between both camps resulted in what he said was a difficult decision. He pledged to continue supporting the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.
Alfredsson bids final farewell to Ottawa Former Sens captain says contract negotiations went ‘nowhere,’ led to decision
July 1 and was free to talk to teams in a limited capacity. He surprised many a few days later by signing a one-year $5.5 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings. Senators general manager Bryan Murray told media the team had offered Alfredsson $4.5 million for one-year, but Alfredsson’s agent, J.P. Barry, was said to have been asking for $7 million. In response, the Ottawa Senators acquired winger Bobby Ryan from the Anaheim Ducks.

“Each side fully expected I would retire and not play the 2012-13 season,� said Alfredsson. “However, after the 2012 season, I told the Sens I wanted to play another season. I also asked to look at a possible extension for this upcoming season at a fair amount to balance out the two years for both of us. They agreed. “Sadly, the contract negotiations went nowhere, but I played out the season as I had promised and I believe this past season, in my view, was a very special one. “In late June of this year, I decided I had it in me to play at least one more season. I told management I was willing to return, and I reminded them of our agreement from the year, but to my disappointment, negotiations quickly stalled, and then a number of days later, fellow teams contacted me, including Detroit.� Alfredsson said he was attracted to Detroit because of their style of play and the fact he had friends on that team already. “I knew they needed a righthanded shot,� he said. “I was also delighted by their en-

maybe hard for them to agree to my terms, but I had my reasons. “I respected Bryan (Murray) for everything he’s done for this team as a coach and GM,� said Alfredsson. “I understand it was hard for them to make it work under my terms.� “When we came to Ottawa all those years ago, we were excited and a little bit nervous. I don’t know how long this new adventure will last, and if and when we will return, but Ottawa will always be home in our hearts.� He said his dedication to Ottawa remains strong, as well as his commitment to the hospital and other organizations he has supported, such as the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

Apart from hockey, his work to spread awareness of mental health illnesses will continue. Seated next to his wife, Bibi Backman, and joined by their four children, the couple held hands before Alfredsson addressed the gathered crowd. The decision was made together as a family, he said, and was not an easy one. He recalled when the family first came to Ottawa 18 years ago, ready and excited – if a little nervous – to start a new life. “It’s amazing to me that our Ottawa lives started 18 years ago,â€? he said. “Bibi and I first came to Ottawa in 1995 hoping that we would be able to make Ottawa our home. And over those years I was delighted‌ to make some very special friendships‌ and to lead your team for 13 seasons. It’s a journey my family and I will always cherish.â€? He thanked the community for showing never-ending support and genuine love towards his family through the ups and downs during his career as an Ottawa Senator. “Hockey was why we came here,â€? he said. “It’s not easy but I’m looking forward to this new chapter‌Sometimes when you’ve been doing something for so long at the same place you need a change of scenery. This maybe will give me more energy.â€? Alfredsson began his NHL career with the Senators in the 1995-96 season, and has scored 426 goals and 682 assists for 1,108 points for a total of 1,178 regular-season games. He’s alos been powerful in the playoffs with 51 goals and 100 points in 121 games. In last year’s lockout-shortened season, Alfredsson had 10 goals and 26 points in 47 games. Ottawa drafted him in the sixth round in 1994 and he went on to capture the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie and appeared in six all-star games.

84-year-old cancer survivor to Ride the Rideau Kanata seniors organization sponsors cyclist in fourth-annual event for Ottawa Hospital jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Sports – An 84-year-old Kitchissippi man is preparing to cycle 100 kilometres for the hospital that has given him so much. Irwin Waldman has battled cancer multiple times and the Ottawa Hospital is an organization close to his heart. Waldman will cycle from Ottawa to Merrickville as part of the fourth-annual Ride the Rideau event. “I’ve been cleared for five years now, but I still get checked regularly,” Waldman said. “The hospital has done something for me and I’d like to do something for it in return.” Waldman was first diagnosed with bladder cancer in the 1980s while he was living in Montreal. It was caught early and he had three tumours removed. “My presumption was, at the time, was that’s done,” he said. “A few years later when I moved to Ottawa, lo and behold these malignant cells are growing in my bladder again.” He underwent three more surgeries and drug treatments and has been clear for five years, but Waldman doesn’t consider himself a cancer survivor. “I go back every year to get checked out,” he said. “I don’t really look at it as being a survivor.” Waldman, who is also a member of the Ottawa Bicycle Club, leads an active lifestyle. He said he follows “the big three” when it comes to keeping fit: flexibility, which requires stretching, muscle toning by lifting weights, and cardiovascular health. He uses his bike for everyday errands like grocery shopping and visiting his local library. When he’s training, he’ll take his bike across the river or through back-roads in the city. “I use either long rides in the flats, like Osgoode, Cumberland, past Kanata, or if I want to overload, then I go to the Gatineau (Park). It’s my playground,” he said. “In Gatineau Park, there I’ve got some formidable
hills.” Waldman, who is a grandfather, has participated in the 100-km ride since the inaugural event. This year, Home Instead Senior Care – a local organization with offices in Kanata and the Glebe – is sponsoring Waldman. “Mr. Waldman is everything we all aspire to be in our senior years,” said Lesley Sullivan, owner of Home Instead Senior Care “He is physically active and healthy, and contributing to society rather than letting the years go by. Many of our clients and caregivers are living with cancer, so in addition to supporting Mr. Waldman, we are also supporting the Ottawa Hospital Foundation and cancer research. “We decided that this was a worthy cause, based on the community of seniors we support.” Tracey Tong, spokeswoman for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, said Waldman illustrates how people of any age can get involved to raise funds for cancer research. “At 84, he is our oldest rider and he’s a three-time cancer survivor to boot. He is truly an inspiration to us,”

she said. “Mr. Waldman shows us that people of all ages can make a difference in the fight against cancer. “And he’s not alone. We have 36 cancer survivors signed up to ride so far, and they are an inspiration to all of us.” RIDE THE RIDEAU
Ride the Rideau has raised more than $4.4 million for the Ottawa Hospital. Last year saw around 700 cyclists participate, bringing in $1.7 million. This year, with the addition of a 50-km option, organizers are expecting more than 800 riders to join the cause on Sept. 7. “It’s nice cycling with a bunch of people,” said Waldman, adding he enjoys the people “hooting and hollering and giving encouragement” along the route. His wife, Elsa, will be waving him on as he crosses the finish line. “It’s fun to wave him in and he was always very excited about it,” she said. “(The event is) a great thing for him and he loves that. “He just started living after he retired. He couldn’t wait to retire. He could do all those things he wanted to do. That’s what everybody should do, enjoy their retirement, make good use of it.” See CYCLING, page 14

Seniors council hosts annual general meeting on Sept. 9 Kanata Seniors Council
Community - President Kay Dubie is looking for a good turnout of members when the Kanata Seniors Council meets for the 2013 annual general meeting at the Mlacak Hall, 2500 Campeau Dr., on Monday, Sept. 9 starting at 11 a.m. As in previous years, business proceedings will be followed by a light lunch. “This is going to be an important meeting,” said Dubie. “We’ve accomplished a great deal this year – in fact it’s been one of our busiest – but there are changes in the wind if we’re to position ourselves better to meet the changing needs of our community of seniors, and for that we rely on input from our membership.”
The membership list has finally been updated, bylaws revamped to comply with the recently revised federal guidelines for not-for-profit organizations, and a study of the cafe launched, with assistance from Algonquin College, to see if service can be more streamlined. “The council basically runs three programs,” explained Dubie. “Our more-than competitively priced, one-on-one, computer classes, our travel team which organizes trips that range from a visit to the slots and the casino to theatre or winery visits, and the council cafe which remains a popular meeting ground for many. “This year we’ve added a fourth – an Education Series which was introduced last year
and, by popular demand, is set up to run again this year.” Three years ago the council introduced Far West Fun Fest. A late spring, two-week long program of assorted activities which, since its inception has grown by leaps and bounds. This year it added to its activity list with a visit to Ottawa’s first Zoomer Show, a trip to the tulip festival, and pickleball. “We had no idea how popular this would become when we first launched the program,” said Dubie. “We were amazed at how many requests we had to do it again after our first year. This year no sooner did we get the program out than we found that in many cases we were over-subscribed and the requests to do it again next year keep pouring in - so I guess our
known fact that loneliness is one of major contributors to depression and those individuals who have reached that time of life when downsizing is no longer an option but a reality, can find themselves in a new community without the social support that they once enjoyed.” Dubie hopes not only for a good turnout for this year’s meeting but also that existing members will carry the word of the Kanata Seniors Council and its programs, as well as the many activities sponsored by the city at the seniors centre, out to anybody that they know who is new to the area. “It’s been proved time and time again that social interaction plays a major role in maintaining health as we move into what are called the Golden
Fun Fest is here to stay.” But, as Dubie emphasizes, things have to change to keep up with the changing needs of the community. An Ipad has been added to the council’s computer arsenal as well as new software to bring the computer centre up to date with today’s changing technology. The travel team which organized a total of 36 trips over 2012 is now looking at adding out-of-country trips to its already ambitious program of entertainment. If Dubie has concerns they lie in the direction of keeping the council alive, well, and serving the needs of seniors. “It’s a well known fact that the number of seniors is growing,” she said, “and their needs are changing. It’s also a well

I very much hope that among the membership there will be some who would like to contribute their talents so that not only the board can benefit from new approaches but also our growing community of seniors.” The annual general meeting will be held Sept. 9.

was out of the question. And then one summer everything changed. It was almost like someone had lifted a roller blind in a darkened room, letting in sunshine. It didn’t happen suddenly, but it came as the summer wore on. The season started out like any other. Father planted the fields, Mother raised hens from chickens, packets of seeds arrived in the mail and were planted. But that year, as spring rolled into summer, I knew in my heart, that year things were going to be different. For one thing, there were no frosty days or nights to kill what had been planted. But one season blended into the other, as if by some magic plan there was nothing to halt the natural growth in the fields and in the ample garden. That year there were no heavy rains to flood the seedlings or leave big pools of water in the low lying fields. The rain came as often as was needed. Soft wonderful rain and often, as if led by some outside hand, it fell during the warm nights so that Father was able to spend the days tending to the crops. The rain barrels, empty at night sitting at the corners of the back of the old log house, would be filled in the mornings from the runoff of the eaves as we slept in our beds. It was wonderful soft rain water which Mother put to good use. That year there was no drought. Gone were the cracks in the soil at our back stoop that in other years we saw after weeks of a dry spell: parched ground, crumbling under our bare feet, and burning the soles. That year, when everything seemed to change, the ground was moist to the touch. And I would see Father walk the back fields. After the morning chores and often after supper, he would go over to the West Hill, cross the Bonnechere and look – just look – and he would come back to the house and I could see a spring in his step that in other years was so often missing. Sometimes I would go with him. Father was not one to talk idly, so we would walk in silence. And I would watch him stop at the alfalfa field and pull at a few stacks, rubbing them between the palms of his hands. The buckwheat field, the last to be planted, was already starting to turn to a golden brown. To me it looked like a large velvet carpet. I was too young to know why we planted certain grains
or crops, but I knew if they thrived, we would be saved for another year -- I was old enough to know that. The hay was being cut with stalks dotting the fields. Many loads had already been taken to the barn and hoisted up into the loft. Unlike some of the other farmers’ hay fields in Northcote, there were no fancy bales in our fields, just handpiled hay, gathered with a pitchfork. The smell of the newly mowed hay filled my nostrils and I often went into the barn and climbed the little ladder just to look at the hay mound, and I would be filled with contentment, knowing our livestock would be well fed over the coming winter. Our barnyard held fat cows, sheep shorn of their wool, pigs contentedly rolling in the dirt and I knew our smoke house would be filled to take us through the long winter months ahead. Mother’s garden that year, seemed to be spared the onslaught of crows and wild animals that often had their fill of the vegetables she had planted. For reasons unknown, our garden overflowed with produce, much of it to be peddled in Renfrew, and the rest to be canned in glass sealers to give us an ample table over the winter. And that year, the lone apple tree behind our house, had sprouted a wild crop and already we had our fill of pies, crisps, and apple sauce. Already, the shelves in the crawl space under the house that served as a root cellar and a place to store Mother’s preserves and pickles were filled with jars of raspberries and chokecherry jam. And so that year, the pall of anxiety that usually filled our house, was gone. We sang joyously at night before we went to bed with Mother on her mouth organ. Father still fell asleep in the rocking chair with the Family Herald and Weekly Star spread out on his knee, but I thought the lines in his face were lessened. Still bone-tired was he, but with a look of contentment on his sleeping face. It was the only year I remember when the Depression wasn’t choking the blood out of our veins. All around us was the miracle of life. It would be replaced, as sure as death and taxes, the next year with the struggle for survival that marked that time in life, when every day was a challenge. But that year alone, there was hope that we would last to see another year of that era, known as the Dirty Thirties.

Place the baking sheet back in the oven and roast until cauliflower is tender and tomatoes are softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add pasta to boiling water and cook until it’s
al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta and place in large warmed bowl, reserving some of the pasta water. Add the cauliflower mixture and the cheese and toss well. Add just enough pasta water to moisten. Divide among warmed pasta bowls then sprinkle with parsley. Add more cheese, if desired. Foodland Ontario

Youth employment programs get a cash infusion Eligible youth would have access to $7,800 in funding for supplies, transportation, wages Jennifer McIntosh

News - Ottawa-West Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli announced the first of a series of provincial programs aimed at increasing employment opportunities for young people at the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre during an announcement at Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre on Aug. 2. The Ontario Youth Employment Fund, which aims to connect young people with employers who will provide job placements of four to six months, will have a budget of $195 million over two years. Chiarelli said each of Ottawa’s 11 employment centres
will get a slice of the funding pie. Scott Miller, corporate services director for the Pinecrest-Queensway centre, said funding announcements are always good news for the not-for-profit, but funding for youth is special. “The fact that today’s announcement from the Ontario government will help increase our ability to help the youth of our communities makes it even more special,” Miller said. Eligible youth would have access to $7,800 in funding. The first $1,000 is to be used by the young person for things like work supplies and transportation, while the balance would be used by the employer to subsidize their wages.
Drawing, sketching, painting, cartooning, photography and crafts of all kinds can be explored in your neighbourhood and across the city.

Chiarelli said the employment fund would roll out this fall. It will be followed with announcements for funding of other programs to focus on mentorship, innovation and skills connection for young people, he added. According to the province, the unemployment rate for youth in Ontario is double that of workers aged 25 to 64 and last year more than 35 per cent of Employment Ontario clients were youth. Mohamed Sofa, a community developer for the centre, said everyday he’s seeing young people who are anxious to get experience, unable to find jobs. “I think this will help to kickstart youth employment,” he said. “Because now some of the biggest barriers lack of on-the-job training and access to mentorship. This isn’t just about jobs, but the future of young people.”

More gambling harmful to Ottawa’s health, doctor says But if council says ‘yes’ to a casino, more treatment funding needed: report Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Ottawa’s top doctor says a new casino would be bad for Ottawa’s health. But if city council continues to pursue one or more new gambling sites, it should ensure the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation pumps $2 million into community-based gambling treatment services in the city. That would be a steep increase from the $741,000 the Champlain Local Health Integration Network currently receives to fund programs in Ottawa – a number that hasn’t changed since 2007. On top of that, Dr. Isra Levy, the city’s medical officer of health, says the city should allocate 6.5 per cent of its annual take of casino revenue (around $350,000 of the city’s current take from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots) towards gamblingprevention programs run by Ottawa Public Health. That figure is currently zero. No estimates on possible future casino revenue have been made public because it’s not known how large a new facility could be – or if there could be multiple gambling sites. The report released on Aug. 12
will provide ammunition for councillors who are opposed to adding more gambling options in the nation’s capital, a discussion that kicked off a year ago in Ottawa after the OLG asked municipal councils whether they would be willing to consider accepting new gaming facilities as part of its gambling modernization plan. The board of health will discuss the report at its Aug. 19 meeting and the information will also fuel a discussion at the finance and economic development committee on Aug. 26 about whether city council should ask the province and OLG to allow two gambling sites in Ottawa. While council had already indicated a preference to see gambling options expanded where they already exist in Ottawa – at the Rideau Carleton Raceway – councillors indicated in a unanimous vote on July 17 that they would like to discuss the option of another casino site in addition to keeping at least 21 gaming tables at the raceway. The public health report says residents’ proximity to gaming facilities makes it more likely they will experience problems with gambling. The report cites multiple studies that indicate that the closer people live to a casino, the higher their risk of problem gambling. The public health report reveals that in 2010-11, the OLG spent nearly $300 million of its $6.7 billion in revenue on marketing and promoting gambling and $51.1 million on programs to address problem gambling. “In recent years, plans to increase availability of and access to gambling across Ontario as a means to generate revenue have been proposed
without concerted increased efforts to mitigate gambling-related harm among Ontario residents,” the report reads. “There is an identified need to improve awareness raising, early identification of people experiencing problems with gambling and to provide these individuals with timely and adequate treatment.” The report was met with praise from a coalition of nine local community health and resource centres that have been vocal in opposing new gambling opportunities in Ottawa. However, a press release from the coalition states the mitigation measures proposed in the report wouldn’t be as effective as simply foregoing more gambling opportunities in Ottawa. “The group of nine community health and resource centres have been clear that the best mitigation measure to avoid problem gambling is not to increase access in the first place by opening up a new location in the city of Ottawa,” states a press release from the coalition. “We are very pleased that they have reached the same conclusion as our nine centres regarding the inherent risks of a new casino, and we look forward to promoting this report with other city councillors and members of the community,” the coalition’s spokesman, Centretown Community Health Centre board president, Jim

Ottawa Public Health has come out swinging against a new gambling facility in Ottawa, saying it will be harmful to residents’ health and it will create more demand for already-underfunded gambling cessation programs. Morrison, stated. The Rideau Carleton Raceway’s 1,250 slot machines attract 1.8 million visitors annually, while three million people visit the Lac Lemy casino in Gatineau each year, the health report states. Both facilities are open 24 hours a day – something Levy doesn’t recommend for a new gambling site in Ottawa. In 2007-08, 10 per cent of Ot-
tawa’s population reported using a casino in the past year. Public health estimates two per cent of the city’s adults over age 18 – 13,000 people – experience problematic effects from gambling, but only about 280 of them seek help. Problem gambling can range from risky financial activities and emotional or psychiatric issues to substance abuse and bankruptcy.

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North VACATION TIME I am just back from a couple of weeks visiting family and taking a week long sailing trip with friends among the Gulf Islands in BC, enjoying lots of sunny weather, so I am refreshed and glad to be back into the swing of things. I hope everyone took time to enjoy their summer.
COMMUNITY ITEMS Crossing Guards – Good news - a third crossing guard has been approved for Kanata North on Walden to serve L’Ecole St Remi. Together with the other two new sites (Goulbourn Forced Road at Keyrock and Marconi at Maxwell Bridge,) there will now be 12 crossing guard locations serving all of the elementary schools in Kanata North. Sidewalk Concerns - Many of the older asphalt sidewalks are deteriorating, resulting in cracks and heaving. Unfortunately this has led to falls and a recent injury reported to me. City staff has been contacted and are making repairs. I have asked for funding to do more. Another serious problem is cyclists using these sidewalks. Except for young children these sidewalks are solely for pedestrians and cyclists should use the cycling lanes or the roadway. Some older residents have difficulty in walking and several have been knocked over by cyclists - who rarely stop. With school starting soon, please ensure your children follow the rules of the road and stay off the sidewalks when cycling.

Drumming up support for minimum wage boost Joseph Ndala Mukendi bangs on an empty pot as part of a protest calling on the provincial government to raise the minimum wage. Members of ACORN Ottawa rallied outside of Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur’s office on Aug. 15 to protest the current minimum wage, saying, ‘there’s nothing left in the pot.’ ACORN is advocating for the province to raise the minimum wage from $10.25 to $14 per hour.

Teresa Piruzza, minister of children and youth services, visits with Jacob Doyle and MyKenna Griffiths, who both enjoy the programs and services at the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre. MPP John Fraser says the new funding from the Ontario government will help families currently on a waiting list. Ontario funds 21 children’s treatment centres across the province.
Province boosts funding for youth, children with special needs News - The Ontario government announced it will spend $5 million to reduce wait times and improve services for children with special needs. The money will see an additional 1,300 children youth served by rehabilitative services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy at Ontario’s children’s treatment centres. Ontario funds 21 children’s treatment centres across the province, providing service to more than 64,000 kids a year. Minister of Children and Youth Services Teresa Piruzza made the announcement at the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre on Aug. 13. John Fraser, marking his first public event as Ottawa South’s new MPP, was also on hand at the event to speak about the importance of the funding. “When you hear that a family was able to see their child who had complex needs strive and succeed, it doesn’t get any better than that,” said Fraser. “As government, we can help, and that’s what we’re here to do, but the broader community should know the OCTC is here and it’s a very special place and it needs support.” The announcement coincided with Fraser’s campaign to improve health-care services across his riding. Piruzza said she couldn’t pinpoint how much each centre would receive in funding from the $5 million, but that the plan would roll out in the fall. The average wait time for rehabilitative services in Ontario for new families is 20 to 27 days. “We heard from families about what they need to support their children and youth with special needs, and we took action,”
said Piruzza. “We remain committed to helping all children and youth in Ontario achieve their goals, Piruzza said the government is working towards reducing the wait times. “Today’s investment is part of our larger vision for these families and to help their children and youth get timely effective services,” she said. “Because the true cost, social economic and human cost of not taking action, of not continuing to move is just too great for our
province and our future.” The Ontario government will continue to expand access to integrated rehabilitation services in full-day kindergarten classrooms by building on pilot programs. More young people with autism will also benefit from improved access to intensive behavioural intervention therapy, which helps decrease challenging behaviours, increase appropriate behaviours and promote development, according to the Ontario government website.

Ravens face challenge of fielding brand new team Queen’s grad ready to take to the hometown field Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Sports – Rookie initiation will be a little different for Carleton Ravens football players this year. The newbies usually have to run to fill the water bottles for veteran players, and then diligently wait season after season for a starting position to be up for grabs. As Carleton University started football training camp on Aug. 15, every last player was a Ravens rookie. “A lot is expected from all of us, we all came here with a blank slate,â€? said Matt Lapointe, an OrlĂŠans player who has already graduated from Queen’s University, where he played football. Carleton will field a football team this year for the first time since the late 1990s. Almost all of the new Ravens football players are fresh out of

Gorgichuk, a quarterback, originally committed to play at Acadia University, but decided to switch and stay closer to home, joining the Carleton program. He was one of the team’s early recruits, and a star player in the junior football ranks. Because there aren’t any veterans, it’s still a fight for every spot in the Ravens lineup. Gorgichuk will have competition in experienced quarterback Jesse Mills, who played with coach Sumarah at St. Mary University before coming to Ottawa. “I’m expecting some battles,â€? Sumarah said. “They’re going to have to come out and compete on (gameday) Saturdays, but they’re going to have to compete during the week as well.â€? Because every player is new to the program, Sumarah said he expects it to become a tight-knit program over the years. While many university teams carry up to 100 players, this year he’ll cap the total at 70 to 75 on the final roster, to be determined after an exhibition game this weekend. That will allow the team to recruit about 20 new players next year, accounting for some inevitable turnover, to build the team as the years go on. It was a different type of training camp last week at Carleton University, as few of the players knew each other, while other universities have a crew of veteran players welcoming the rookies. “We wanted them to stay as a group on campus,â€? Sumarah said, of the players at camp. “A lot of these guys don’t know who one another are.â€? He estimated this month’s training camp was the initiation to university football for 90 per cent of his team. There’ll be some perks being a hometown Ottawa player. Lapointe is returning to live with his parents in OrlĂŠans, where it will be a short drive for his family and friends to come out and watch his home games. “Planning weekend trips was tough before,â€? Lapointe said. “But now we’re right in the backyard.â€? High school graduates Hamlin, Adeleke, Engel and Gorgichuk will all stay living at home while they play for Ravens. They all expect a strong contingent of family and friends to come out to Carleton’s Keith Harris Stadium to cheer them on during their first home game. “It’s going to be good, seeing friends and family in the stands, some familiar faces,â€? said Young, who will live on campus. As the start of the regular season looms, Sumarah didn’t set a goal based on wins and losses, instead focusing on the work ethic on the field. “I’d like to see us go out and compete on every play – be a physical team,â€? the head coach said. The Ravens will play their first home game on Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. against Waterloo at Keith Harris Stadium on the Carleton University Campus.

West Ottawa Ringette to hold tryouts West Ottawa Ringette Association
Sports - The West Ottawa Ringette Association has set aside an hour of ice time for anyone ages four and up to try the game of ringette. All participants need is a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of gloves (winter gloves or hockey gloves). Ringette sticks will be available to use and there will be on-ice helpers to introduce the children to the sport. Best of all, there is no charge for this event. Tryouts will be held at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Aug. 25 from noon to 1:30 p.m. This year, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Sport, through the Ontario Sport & Recreation Communities Fund, has provided a grant to the West Ottawa Ringette Association to allow more young girls to try the sport of ringette. As a result of this funding, the association can now offer an equipment loan program to up to 25 new ringette players from the ages of four to seven. This provides four- to seven-year-olds, who are new to the sport, with all necessary equipment, except for a helmet and skates. They will have the chance to learn to skate, meet new friends and be introduced to ringette. More information will be available at

FAST-PACED SPORT
Ringette is a fast-paced ice sport that doesn’t permit intentional body contact. There are six players from each team on the ice: two forwards, one centre, two defensemen and one goalie. Players are not permitted to carry the ring over the two blue lines. The ring must be passed to another player, which makes it a great team sport. Ringette is related to ice hockey using some similar protective gear and a similar playing surface, however the rules and the approach to the game are different. In ringette, instead of passing a puck, players need to “stab the ring”. To do this, a ringette stick, similar to a hockey stick without a blade, must be placed inside the ring and the player must hold on to it until they are able to pass to a teammate or take a shot on net. Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck but the blue line rules force more passing than in hockey. Another difference between ringette and hockey is that only three players from each team are allowed inside the zone between the red line and the goalie. Ringette is a game where fast skating and great passing are vital and teamwork is a focus, both on and off the ice. More details about the association and the game of ringette can be found at: www.westottawaringette.com. New this year, you can also follow West Ottawa Wild Ringette on Twitter @WestOttawaWild . Follow us to stay up-to-date on events, deadlines, bragging rights and all things Wild. Online registration is now open for the 2013-14 season.

Children between the ages of four to seven begin as a “Bunny”, participating in a learn-to-skate program as well as learning about the game of ringette. The Bunnies do not play league games but may participate in scrimmages with Bunnies from other Ringette associations throughout the city. This program takes place on Saturday mornings at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. The West Ottawa Ringette Association offers both recreational and competitive ringette programs for players from seven to 18. League play runs from early October, after sort outs are completed, through to the end of March. Home arenas for the association include Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. Away games can take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau. Teams also have the opportunity to participate in tournaments, where not only do the kids have a chance to play other teams, but also have the chance to have fun with their teammates and meet other ringette players who also love this sport.

News - A Barrhaven women’s baseball association is looking to residents for help after $1,500 of equipment was stolen from the baseball diamond at South Nepean Park on Longfields Drive on Aug. 12. Susan Currey, who plays with the Barrhaven Ladies Softball Association, said since the city is tight on storage space, the league stores some of their equipment at a locked green bin attached to the fence at the Barrhaven baseball diamond. But after their Monday night game, the equipment went missing. “We lost our bases, rubber, helmets, first aid, hammers, crowbars; everything we need to set the field up,” Currey said, estimating the value of the nabbed items at $1,500. The robbery has been reported to Ottawa police. Currey said the field house was also broken into the same night. This year is the league’s
27th season in Barrhaven. There are 162 players from Barrhaven and rural areas like Manotick. “When we moved here we all had babies and now those babies are teens, who might be a little bored,” Currey said, adding she hopes to residents will keep an eye out for ditched equipment or the green bins, which are almost two metres tall; much taller than the standard residential green bins. She hopes to get some of the equipment back before an 11-team tournament kicks off on Sept. 12. “Right now we are using a very heavy carry bag,” Currey said. “One player will take it to the field where they are playing next and we kind of rotate. But we need two sets of equipment for the tournament, so hopefully we can recover some before that.” Currey said residents can send emails to suecurrey@rogers.com or go to the contact form at blsa.ca to report sightings of the equipment.

Sports - Capital City Speedway has been a racing mecca since 1961. There’s still plenty of speed and noise at the track just west of Stittsville four nights a week. Wednesdays are for stock car racing on the three-eighths of a mile oval – about 600 metres. Cars race in five classes, including a category called 4 For Fun that features cars that are much like vehicles you’d see on the street minus exterior trim and the interior fittings other than the drivers seat.
At the top end, the Late Modelclass cars can rip around the track in about 18 seconds. Thursday nights are for fans of drifting: cars that skid and slide around the turns. Fridays and Saturdays leave the adjacent oval behind as the Capital City Dragway times cars as they run a straight drag as street-legal cars and narrow dragsters tear up the track. The season wraps up this year on Sept. 7 with Summer Slam 2013, which culminates with a demolition derby. For information, visit capital cityspeedway.ca.

Backyard chicken owners balk at bylaw Patricia Leboeuf
pleboeuf@metroland.com
Patricia Leboeuf/Metroland
Erika Tar feeds bits of homegrown lettuce to her chickens Edna, Marge and Maggie, named after the beloved Simpsons characters. the issues around the area of having them in the urban and suburban area is that its not very conducive to keeping livestock in those types of area where they could potentially cause issues for neighbours.� To keep their hens, the couple is in the throes of trying to change the bylaw. The couple also considered trying to rezone their home, but the hassle and price tag of $1,500 put a stop to those plans. “Because we were just thrown into this recently, it was a lot of experimenting, how are we supposed to go about this, who should we contact,�
said Tar. “We’ve sent so many emails and made so many phone calls; it’s ridiculous. It’s about the only thing we think of. It’s all consuming.� To change the bylaw, they need to convince a city councillor to put the issue on the agenda for a council meeting. Then they will be able to plead their case. If they cannot get on the city council meeting, they will attempt to bring their case to the agriculture and rural affairs committee. The couple is currently circulating a petition in order to garner support and prove that they are serious about the issue.
CLUCKING AWAY
Owning chickens in a technically urban area may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but it fit in well with Tar and Elliott’s desired lifestyle. “We moved out here to have more green space, set up more gardens, vegetable gardens and composting and just try to live a more sustainable life out here,� said Tar.

News - Feathers are being ruffled as a Constance Bay couple refuses to get rid of their chickens despite an Ottawa bylaw prohibiting them. Erika Tar and her partner Andrew Elliott have been keeping chickens in their backyard for the past three years, but it wasn’t until two weeks ago that trouble arose. “I couldn’t believe that someone would, first of all, come in our backyard and snoop around and secondly just complain for the sake of complaining that we had chickens,� said Tar. “Bylaw said that it wasn’t about noise or smells or cleanliness or anything like that. Tar admits that they knew owning chickens was prohibited, but decide to forge ahead after consulting their neighbours. They also got rid of their roosters to prevent any bothersome, early morning cock-a-doodle-doo. The current bylaw prohibits any livestock animals in the city unless the area is specifically zoned for agricultural use or is lawfully used for that purpose. “Livestock are intended to be in agricultural areas,� said strategic support officer for bylaw regulatory services Christine Hartig. “And
they are going to end up in shelters,� she added. The Ottawa Humane Society is not equipped to take care of fowl so if they cannot change the bylaw, the chickens will be taken away and most likely slaughtered, said Tar.
They managed to secure a meeting with Hartig and Stuart Huxley, senior legal counsel from the city clerk and solicitor department, to discuss their case to “see if there is anything we can do on that side of things to avoid litigation, or being dragged into court or getting big fines for this or even have our chickens taken away from us which is the worst outcome for us.� There are a number of jurisdictions in North America that allow “backyard chickens,� but trouble can still arise if the bylaw is changed, said Hartig. “What’s happening in other jurisdictions is that that some of these chickens are being turned into animal shelters,� she said. They are being surrendered. “That’s certainly a concern that

‘Urban’ hens more pets than livestock Continued from page 35
HOWʼS THIS FOR STARTERS?
“When we started researching other sustainable methods, chickens was a big one, not only for the fresh eggs, but because of the whole fertilizer goes into our compost and into our garden.” The three hens are kept in a coop at the back of their yard, which backs up to Torbolton Forest. It’s large enough for six chickens, but the couple prefers to allow their three hens to have room to stretch out. It is well insulated and opens onto a fenced-in run where the animals run free during the day. At night, they are securely locked in their insolated coop. They straddle the line between pet and livestock. “We have them for eggs basically,” said Tar. “I mean, we did name them so I think that crosses the border into pet kingdom. In about three years, they are going to start laying less and less and we still plan to keep them even after they stop laying eggs. We just like having them around as part of our living up here.” The couple carefully researched the breed for their winter hardiness, their needs and the potential issues that may arise from having them around. “Our chickens live a happy life here,” said Tar. “I feel much more comfortable then the alternative (of factory farming).” They’ve partnered with the Urban Hens Ottawa and have gotten information and legal tips from eco-justice lawyers from the University of Ottawa. “We’ve gotten a lot of help from other people who are supportive,” said Tar. She hopes they will help her dispel some of

the myths on backyard chickens. If the bylaw is changed, there would be strict regulations such as minimum green space, required licences and registration, meet space guideline for health and safety, enclosed bins for waste and food and much more. “We aren’t going to be opening the barnyard doors to chicken without the proper regulations put into place and licensing before people can get chickens,” said Tar. “It’s not going to be a free for all. It’s going to be very well researched. “It shouldn’t be as worrisome as some people think,” she added. One of the big issues with changing the bylaw is the fear of attracting predators, said Hartig. “Clearly coyotes tend to live near agriculture areas for obvious reasons,” she said. “There is a potential, and again it is all potential, that there is a risk that if we start openly allowing it,” she added. “It’s always a risk if there is livestock that you will attract predators.” The coop and run’s fence is buried 30 centimetres deep to prevent predators from getting in and there was even a hungry fox that hung around for a bit until it gave up, realizing it was impossible to get it, said Tar. Although many in the Bay are on the chickens’ side, some like Julie Maheral say they are attracting coyotes, fishers and other predators. “My cat’s missing. We have other cats missing,” Maheral said. “We have quite a bunch of people for it, but I don’t think your neighbours would like it if you had a chicken coop in your yard.” West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry stands by the bylaw as it exists due to the potential problems.

City wants comments on medical marijuana production sites steph.willems@metroland.com
News – New federal rules regarding the production of medical marijuana has prompted the city to seek feedback on potential grow sites. Health Canada’s most recent Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) seeks to treat medical grow facilities as a functioning, licensed commercial business, given that it plans to stop producing the product by April 1 of next year. That means small-scale home-growing and large-scale government facilities are out, and large-scale private facilities are in. And, because new businesses are subject to the municipal zoning regulations, the City of Ottawa wants to ensure the implementation of the federal policy mitigates community concerns. Already, the city has released a city-wide zoning bylaw amendment proposal for the public to weight in on, with Sept. 6 being the comment cutoff date. Those comments will be included in a draft report, which the public can then comment on until Sept. 30, at which time it will be finalized in advance of committee and council consideration. The city’s proposed amendment will seek to clarify or provide new definitions under its zoning bylaw for medical marijuana production facilities, clarify the type of use under which such a facility will be permitted, and identify appropriate zones for such facilities. Certainly, the locations of such facilities could draw concern from
neighbouring residents, even though the production would have to incur indoors. Media reports from late July suggested a potential commercial grower is already waiting for his chance to
open a facility. Those stories quoted Sam Mellace, manager of New Age Medical Solutions, as saying he had purchased land in the rural west end of Ottawa for just such a facility one of many he would like to create
across Canada. Mellace, a medical marijuana advocate who garnered headlines in 2010 for lighting a joint in the House of Commons, had not spoken with city planners at the time of his com-
ments. Comments in regards to the issue can be sent to the city’s Planning and Growth Management branch by emailing Trevor.Illingworth@ottawa.ca.

The Ontario Municipal Board has granted city planners an extension to work on fixing the wording of a bylaw meant to increase compatibility of new infill homes with neighbouring dwellings.
City gets infill extension laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - City planners have been granted more time to shore up their infill guidelines intended to protect communities’ character. They were worried they wouldn’t have enough time to draft legally enforceable language describing how a proposed home would not be compatible with neighbouring dwellings. But after requesting an extension from the Aug. 8 deadline for that work set out by the Ontario Municipal Board, planners are breathing a sigh of relief that they will have until Dec. 31. Elizabeth Desmarais, the planner leading the project, and her fellow planners had five months to do the work and have been scrambling to document what factors contribute to creating “character” in different communities. The board said the city had to reconsider certain portions of the guidelines, such as whether the rules should only apply to new homes built in mature, urban neighbourhoods and not to changes made to existing dwellings. The board also said the city needs to clearly establish the link between the intent of the infill guidelines and the zoning bylaw written to implement those goals – hence, the project to define what constitutes neighbourhood “character.” “We’re dealing with new things here. We actu-
ally need to define the word ‘character,’” Desmarais said in June. Staff is looking at things like how far back from the street the homes are built, the positioning of walkways, the elevation of the ground a home is built on top of and the location and distance between driveways, as well as the type of parking facility – pad, carport, garage, etc. The rules would apply to new lowrise homes built in older urban neighbourhoods. Staff used that information to prepare and revise a draft infill zoning bylaw in response to the Ontario Municipal Board’s order to change parts of the guidelines. The provincial body issued the order in March after the guidelines were appealed by developers and one individual. More recently, the courts turned down the developer appellants’ request to appeal the board’s decision to the divisional court on the grounds that it was premature. The appellants will have to pay the city $10,000 in legal costs as a result of the dismissal of their request for leave to appeal. Those appellants, as well as community stakeholders, have been given a copy of the revised infill zoning bylaw and there is another meeting in the works to discuss it. The planning committee is expected to discuss and form a recommendation on the updated bylaw on Nov. 26.

Celebrate the new school year
Lifestyle - Why not organize a back to school party this year? Turning the first day of school into a festive occasion is a great way to start off the new school year on the right foot. You probably already know that eating breakfast is vital for energy and for increasing one’s capacity to learn. Make your back-to-school breakfast a colourful affair. Set the table with fresh flowers and new placemats, and concoct a healthy breakfast that’s a bit out of the ordinary. If your children aren’t hungry, a smoothie and a small homemade fat-free muffin are easy to manage, even for small stomachs that are feeling queasy with stress. Before leaving home, be sure to take the traditional photograph at the front door. The idea may seem old-fashioned to you, but these annual photos will become great memories for the entire family. Create an album just for these back-to-school photos and in a few years time you’ll all have fun looking through it. When your children get home after their first day back at school, give them a surprise, a little reward to make them feel better after what can often be a stressful day. You don’t need to spend a fortune to put smiles on their faces – serving their favourite meal or taking everybody out to a restaurant is a great way to finish off the day. Above all, this is an occasion to spend time together as a family, a moment to support each SUBMITTED other in making the peaceful transition from the quiet of the summer to the regular school year Make the first day back to school a special one – serve a special breakfast and a fun suproutine. per. It might just become an annual family tradition.

Helping with homework A few tips for parents of teenagers
Lifestyle - Some experts believe it is a mistake for parents to think that their teenagers, no matter what their age, are old enough to take complete responsibility for their school obligations all by themselves. Even the most independent teenagers sometimes need to be encouraged to stay motivated. Your role as a parent is crucial during all of your children’s school years. Take an interest in what they do. Take the time to talk to them every day in order to know how their day went, what subjects were taught, and what they liked or disliked. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and be attentive to their answers. The goal is to let your teenagers know that you are truly interested in their lives. If their school results are not what you’d hoped for, don’t go on and on about their weak points. Congratulate them on their efforts and help them find solutions to their problems. On the other hand, if they never seem to have any homework, it may be a sign that they are lacking confidence or commitment. Discuss this with them, check their agendas, and don’t hesitate to contact their school for more information. Remember that while your child is living at home, you are still their parent and it is reasonable to ask for a minimal commitment from them.

Encourage learning by creating a stimulating and positive atmosphere at home. Set up a work area in a quiet, well-lit room. Apart from providing an organized home office area, parents can also help their teenagers get organized. Skills that your children must learn include establishing good work habits, managing time, submitting work according to deadlines, balancing study time and relaxation time, and preparing for exams. You are their best ally in the acquisition of these skills.Lastly, keep a careful eye on their life habits: the good management of diet, sleep, and extracurricular activities are decisive factors in your child’s educational success.
Lifestyle - Sarah doesn’t like math. She has difficulty reading and writing numbers, she can’t remember her multiplication tables, and the simplest calculation discourages her. When she’s asked to solve a problem, the task is laborious and she feels stupid. Sarah may suffer from a math disability: dyscalculia, or numlexia. Dyscalculia is to numbers what dyslexia is to letters. The number 243 can turn into 200403 inside the heads of children with dyscalculia. They use their fingers when asked to count, and addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are incomprehensible. There are several outward signs of this learning disability, but they have nothing to do with intellectual disability or sensory disorders. Before diagnosing dyscalculia, health pro-

fessionals eliminate other hypotheses, such as problems with vision, hearing, or the consequences of brain trauma, for example. A neuropsychological examination is then conducted in order to assess intellectual quotient, concentration, memory and language. These procedures may seem to take a long time, but they are vital in order to avoid making a premature diagnosis, which could point doctors in the wrong direction. Children diagnosed with dyscalculia are treated by a speech therapist. The length of the treatment varies, as each case is unique, but excellent results are entirely possible. If you’re concerned that your child may suffer from a math disability, talk about it with a professional who will be able to direct you towards appropriate assessments and treatments.

Changing schools smoothly
R0012264113
Lifestyle - Having to move house can be a major source of stress for children. When a change of school is also involved, the emotional impact can be huge. Children need the support of their parents in order for this transition to go as smoothly as possible. Just because they are young doesn’t mean that children can adapt easily to upheaval in their lives. Just as adults do, kids need time to get used to change. The stress of a transition might manifest itself as sudden mood swings, nightmares, or minor physical discomfort. Even insomnia can make an appearance. To prevent some of these reactions, parents have everything to gain by preparing their children for a move. The best kind of start is to put all your cards on the table and explain frankly to children why they have to move and what it will involve. After this, parents must listen carefully as they give children time to verbalize their worries. It is important that children feel comfortable expressing what they are feeling. For the transition to go smoothly, it is essential that parents supply points of reference for their children. Taking the time to visit new classrooms, meet the teachers, and see other students will help them develop more confidence. On the way home, a conversation about the positive aspects of the visit will help other fears to dissipate. Of course, parents should not expect that all their children’s misgivings will disappear like magic. But by being calm and patient, parents can make their children feel secure enough that the transition to a new school and neighbourhood can go smoothly.

My child is ready for school, but I’m not The first day of school can be more upsetting for the parents than the child
Lifestyle - Watching children leave home for their very first day of school is always an emotional time for parents. After a last goodbye, many mums and dads will spill tears of joy and pride, but sometimes those tears can be caused by anguish and worry. Leaving children in the hands of strangers is never easy.
Parents must prepare themselves in advance so they can keep their composure during this big day in the lives of their children. It is helpful to establish the new routine several days before school starts. Set the alarm clock to wake up at a reasonable hour and take the time to eat breakfast with your children. Practise taking the route to school. In other words, if you get your children used to the new routine, you will probably feel reassured as well. I the last days before school starts, and after offering all the support you can give to your children, give yourself some time to catch your breath. You deserve a break after all the back-to-
school rushing around. Relax in a candle-lit bubble bath, go for a walk or distract yourself with a good book. Acknowledge your feelings without any judgment, and just try to enjoy yourself. It is OK to feel nervous, but do try to avoid becoming overwhelmed by anxiety. This would be upsetting to your children. Little boys and girls are very perceptive. By showing that they are in control of the situation, parents will help their children feel safe and self-confident. The first day of school is certainly a very special time, but it is a normal step in the life of any child. So relax, keep smiling, and above all, be positive.

areas of the brain. This varied brain activity makes memorizing easier and faster. 7. Draw a picture: a picture is worth a thousand words and the smallest of scribbles is easier for the brain to remember than a single word. 8. Take a break: go outside during break time. Think about something else, move around and laugh. It will relax you and help you feel good.

Let’s all unite to end bullying
How to help children who have been rejected
Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school. Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.
Being different in any way is often the cause of rejection.

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge. Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti. Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature. Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate ru-

DEVASTATING EFFECTS
Educational socially and developmentally
Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying. Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

Lifestyle - Children who are being rejected by their peers are going through a terrible ordeal. Isolated, insulted and ostracized, they often suffer in silence, and the consequences can be dramatic. It is never easy for parents to help a child who is being rejected, but it is possible. Being different in some way is sometimes the cause behind this rejection. At other times, there doesn’t appear to be any logical explanation. Shyness, a nervous tic, speech difficulties, obesity, or even having braces can be enough to set in motion the victimization process. Sometimes, all it takes is for children to ignore being made fun of for the rejection to start. And yet, some children who stutter or who are obese will never experience rejection. Children are best prepared by receiving help in developing a certain amount of independence and social skills, which allow them to cope with their differences. Parents who help their children from a young age to develop social skills are preparing them to be better able to defend themselves without resorting to violence (but rather through discussion or humour, for example). This also helps them to build their self-confidence. Parents should listen to how their children have suffered and, above all, take them seriously. The next step is to tell their teachers; school staff may be able to correct the situation through a class discussion where everyone can express themselves without fear of being judged. It is vital to encourage rejected children to talk about their experience in order for them to escape their isolation.

Children and the Web How to live with your teen’s look Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is always a good opportunity to remind children about a few safety rules: don’t talk to strangers, cross the road at intersections and stay on the sidewalks. However, in this era of the Internet, another important element should never be forgotten: Internet safety. Even though computers, tablets and smart phones are great for staying in touch or for doing school work, the fact remains that danger lurks on the Internet, including cyber-bullying and cyber predators. Prudence is just as necessary on the Web as it is elsewhere. First of all, children should never use a nickname that reveals their age. They should never, ever accept an invitation from someone who asks them not to talk about it to other people. Parents must also make their children aware of the consequences of one of the most dangerous activities on the Web – the posting of sexy or suggestive photos. Once on the Internet, these images can circulate nonstop, long into the future. This issue has caused plenty of grief for many a young woman. Parents must discuss with their children the risks and the traps to avoid. Sitting in front of a computer screen seems to protect and isolate us, but the Internet is a window into the world at large. The golden rule is to never do on the Web what you wouldn’t dare do on the street. Because of this, careful supervision is vital.
SUBMITTED
The golden rule is to never do on the Web what you wouldn’t dare do on the street. In fact, it is recommended to set up the computer in a communal area of the home so that parents can keep an attentive eye on the use their children make of it. If parents believe that their child is the victim of entrapment or bullying, they should be aware that they do have recourse against this type of criminal activity. Record and print any conversations and contact your local police immediately.
Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes. When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties. Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters before setting out. Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look. If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match? Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and SUBMITTED leave the door open for other compromises. Adolescence is a period of self-affirmation. When After all, who’s never upset their parents with some it comes to your teenager’s sense of style, try to be unconventional clothing? as flexible as your values will let you.

School supplies: Let the race begin Lifestyle - And they’re off: the race to buy school supplies has begun. That’s right, the time has come to head out to the stores with your list at the ready in search of school supplies, clothing, backpacks, and lunch boxes. After all, you want your children to have everything they need for the school year and for their teacher’s class list. Here are a few tips to help you stay calm during all the tumult.
First of all, carefully examine the list of supplies requested by the school. These detailed lists can be big orders to fill, so start early, take your time and do it right. Some stores organize their school supply section based on the lists supplied by the schools, while others offer personalized help in finding items on the list. To save yourself some money, you could check the flyers of the various stores before leaving home. You could also buy some items, such as pen-

cils, pads of paper and exercise books, in larger quantities. That way you’ll have everything at hand if your children run out during the school year – you won’t have to go shopping yet again and pay the full price. Keep in mind that selecting products of a lesser quality could cause you a few headaches if they break or wear out too quickly. What you
Back-to-school essentials Lifestyle - We can’t escape the fact that a new school year is synonymous with the inevitable trips to the store to get everything that the children need. Of course you should always try a keep to your budget, but for some essential items quality should always be your priority. RUNNING SHOES

should be looking for is the best quality-price ratio. Lastly, include your children in this shopping trip if they express the desire to accompany you, but be sure to set certain limits before you leave home. Let them know if there is a budget for extras, and if not, remind them that they are meant to be helpers rather than shoppers.
Growing children need good quality sports shoes to keep their feet healthy. Even though leather remains a big favourite because of its durability, lots of running shoes made with synthetic materials combine flexibility, lightness, and resilience. Choose shoes with foam soles for extra comfort. BACKPACKS
Choose a backpack that is no wider than the child’s back and shoulders. Look for one made
of canvas (avoid plastic) that has several compartments and padded shoulder straps at least five centimetres wide. PLASTIC CONTAINERS
There are two reasons why you should invest in good quality plastic lunch containers: buying reusable items is great for the environment, and spills in the bottom of lunch boxes will be avoided. THERMAL CONTAINERS
You should never skimp when food safety is at stake. Your choice of a thermal container is crucial for your child’s health. The temperature of a hot meal should always stay above 60C, so it is recommended to use a thermal container made of stainless steel with double wall vacuum insulation.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
