COMMUNITY

Company refuses to give saplings to Trailwest locals Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Many homeowners in a south Kanata community are wondering why trees uprooted from their properties were thrown in a dumpster, instead of being given to those who asked to replant the small saplings.

Around 15 trees in front of homes on Northgraves Crescent, located in the Trailwest community, were removed to make way for a sidewalk. Some residents asked if they could have the small trees, around five feet in height, to plant in their backyards.

But they were told the trees were destined for a dumpster.

Rouba Al-Fattal Eeckelaert said she asked the crew if she could follow the truck to the dumpster to retrieve the trees but was told that wouldn’t be allowed.

“They did not give any explanation at all (about why) we couldn’t take the trees,” she said.

Eeckelaert said a crew from Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited showed up around 7 a.m. on June 7, with a bulldozer and trucks, to remove trees from people’s front yards.

Requests for comment from Cavanagh were unanswered as of press time.

As the second owner of her home, Eeckelaert said she was unaware of plans to build a sidewalk.

Kids Day Kanata offers access to health professionals Third-annual event takes place on Sept. 7 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The stars – and spines – will align for the third-annual Kids Day Kanata hosted by two local chiropractors.

Dr. Erin McLaughlin and Dr. Pierre Paradis, from the Hazeldean Family Chiropractic Clinic, will host the free event at the Kanata Leisure Centre on Sept. 7, from noon to 3 p.m.

The two chiropractors came up with the event because they see health aliments in adults that could have been avoided if patients had been seen as children.

“A lot of things we see can be avoided if they are detected at an earlier age,” said Paradis.

So he and McLaughlin reached out to the local community, offering a day devoted to children’s health and safety.

“This just fit hand in hand with our mission at the clinic.”

Any funds collected will be donated to

KidSport Ottawa, which provides funding to underprivileged children in the city to play organized sports. The volunteer-run non-profit will have a Fun Zone full of activities for children at the event.

“It’s to bring awareness because we believe it’s such a great cause,” said Paradis.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Along with the chiropractors and KidSport, other health professionals will be on site offering health screenings, demonstrations and distributing information about health and safety – including a local dentist, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, Ottawa Public Health and Ottawa police. The officers will provide child identity cards and fingerprinting.

“It’s a series of health professionals that we recruit to come together to educate the kids,” said Paradis. “Everything is geared towards health and safety.”

“Families can turn it into a family day,” said Paradis. “It’s always a lot of fun.”

Paradis said they usually have 250 to 300 children take part throughout the afternoon.

“If we can bring awareness, we’re hoping it can grow,” he said. “It will be a great day dedicated to the health and safety of the kids in our community.”

form to move up to the Bluesfest level,” explained the Glen Cairn resident.

“We’re getting the artists to work together,” Gallant, a Grade 12 student at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, added. “Part of our theme is how music can really bring people together.”

ELE stands for Everybody Loves Everybody, and fits in to the collaborative effort. An example, Gallant said, is a rap artist will perform with a rock group.

“We want to see what they can come up with,” she said. “Everybody is accepting everybody. They’re just going with it.”

Admission is free but donations will be accepted for the Candlelighters, which supports families affected by childhood cancers. Gallant said the organizers are suggesting a $5 donation.

Tickets can be picked up in advance but aren’t required for entry to ELE. However, ticket-holders will be given priority if the venue reaches capacity.

The list of performers includes: • Wolfie • Akoufen • Beaudry •Neegus • StillNative • Monday I Retire • Go Long (!)

• The Lionyls • Garden of Weeds • Erich Mrak “They’re hard working and very talented.

More people deserve to hear their music,” said Gallant.

Organizers of a charitable car wash, from left, Zac Raynor, Sean Callaghan and Gillian Gallant get hit by the hose as they wash a customer’s car at the Canadian Tire in Kanata on Aug. 24. The event raised money for a new music festival taking place this fall.

Arts - A trio of young adults have added a new festival to Ottawa’s growing list of musical events.

Gillian Gallant, Zac Raynor and Sean Callaghan co-founded and organized the ELE Festival, also called ELE-lectricity, a new event aimed at giving young acts a platform to showcase their music.

“I think that we have a lot of talent in Ottawa,” said 17-year-old Gallant. “Our requirements (to perform) are that they have a positive influence and they have to be local. We’re trying to get Ottawa’s talent recognized.”

Easier to remove trees, shred them and replant: Hubley Continued from page 1

Other people in the community knew a sidewalk was intended for the street but not when construction would take place.

“They came and they started taking away trees. Most of the neighbours went out because they didn’t know who it was,” said Eeckelaert. “Everyone was asking what was going on.”

The crew told the residents they had to remove the trees to

infrastructure arrangements like sidewalks in their plans, and it’s up to subsequent homeowners in areas still under construction to follow-up.

“Go into the model homes to see the construction plans for the area. The information is there and is easily available,” he said.

He added that the trees along Northgraves were planted early on but in the wrong area, which is why they were removed.

“The company doing the sidewalk is not responsible for relocating the trees. It’s an unfortunate happenstance but in most cases it’s easier to remove the trees, shred them and replant because there’s no shortage of new trees,” he said.

“Why they said ‘no’ I don’t know; I don’t have the answer to that. I just know the crews doing the sidewalk are not equipped to replant the trees.”

Hubley said it can cost

is the land developer in your community that there is to be a sidewalk installed in front of your home … We are trying to get clarification from the developer on the scope of work required but we do know that your driveway will be cut for the sidewalk to be installed.”

Eeckelaert said Hubley’s office also received a response from Cavanagh and relayed it to the residents.

“Cavanagh told them there was a big chance … that these trees would not have survived the transplant and that these trees belong to them,” she said. “Basically what they are trying to say explicitly was that ‘They’re our trees and we can do what we want.’”

While under construction, Northgraves, and the trees, are still under the ownership of the developer, not the City of Ottawa.

Hubley said that homebuilders include approved future

truck to salvage the trees from the dumpster, were told that we will not be allowed to do that.”

The residents tried to get in touch with the company for an explanation but they never received a response, said Eeckelaert. So they contacted the builder, Tartan Homes Corp., and their city councillor, Allan Hubley.

Tartan issued a letter to homeowners the same day, stating “We were just notified by Cavanagh Construction who

make way for a new sidewalk.

“We asked the crew if we could take our trees to our backyards to plant them there ourselves since they are only five feet long and budding beautifully. But to our shock they refused with no good explanation,” she said.

“When we asked what they were planning to do with our trees, we were very disappointed to hear that they were taking them to the city dumpster. Some of us, who were even willing to follow the

crews around $300 to plant a new tree and $2,000 to relocate one.

But homeowners wanted to replant the trees themselves, said Eeckelaert, which would have cost nothing.

“Throwing the trees in the dumpster, instead of giving them to the residents to replant them in their backyards, (is) an atrocity against the environment,” she said.

Eeckelaert said there are two issues she’d like to see addressed. The first is that residents are given advance notice from the city of “any major work taking place at their doorsteps.”

The second is for a more cohesive strategy between city planners, development contractors, construction technicians and communities “to find sustainable ways to recycle trees.”

Tartan replaced the frontyard trees.

Stop dumping trash in parks To the editor:

I have lived in Kanata Lakes for almost 20 years, the last 11 at my present address near Judy Lawton Park where I walk my dog morning and evening.

At least five times this summer I have found bags of household garbage dumped at the entrance to Judy Lawton Park, or just inside the park.

Persons unknown are using the public bin for household garbage on a weekly basis and when it is full, I guess they think it is OK to dump their dirty houshehold trash in the park. The garbage is always dumped somewhere between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

I have reported this each and every time to Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson yet the “culprits” persist.

Whoever you are, please stop! It is disgusting and attracts vermin.You are ruining our neighbourhood. Please keep your household waste at home and use the city trash services we all pay dearly for with our municipal taxes.

them in their backyards, an atrocity against the environment.

We contacted the city councillor and Cavanagh Construction about this issue.

The councillor promised us to look into the matter, while we are still waiting for Cavanagh’s response.

At the meantime the community has farmed its demands which are two-fold.

First, is for the city to have a better communication strategy with the community and more transparency in the decisionmaking process.

As a courtesy, for instance, the residents should be informed in advance of any major work taking place at their doorsteps.

Second, and more importantly, is for those involved to work together in the future to ensure better coordination between the city planner, the development contractor, the city construction technician as well as the community in order to find sustainable ways to recycle trees.

Our residents’ awareness of SUBMITTED environmental issues is peak- Some residents in Kanata Lakes are upset after discovering bags of trash dumped at the ing, and it would be a shame for entrance of Judy Lawton Park. The park’s public bins are being used to dump household our city to not take advantage of trash, says a resident in a letter to the Kourier-Standard. the community’s commitment to preserving their trees. We must all cooperate to build and Sales Representative maintain a greener Kanata.

selves since they are only five feet long and budding beautifully.

But to our shock they refused with no good explanation.

When we asked what they were planning to do with our trees, we were very disappointed to hear that they were taking them to the city dumpster.

Some of us, who were even willing to follow the truck to salvage the trees from the dumpster, were told that we would not be allowed to do that.

The whole neighborhood was in limbo for half a day about this issue, some calling the builder: “Tartan” demanding answers about the fate of their trees.

Finally, somewhere in the afternoon, Tartan issued letters to the residents stating that “we were just notified by Cavanagh Construction who is the land developer in your community that there is to be a sidewalk installed in front of your homes…We are unsure at this point if and when the trees will be re-instated.”

The day after, with the support of our Trailwest Community Association president, we put up a Facebook survey asking the community on their views about this issue.

We received many responses that found throwing the trees in the dumpster, instead of giving them to the residents to replant

In June, the residents of Northgraves Crescent were woken up by loud bulldozer and truck noises coming in from their front yards.

Within minutes, many in the neighborhood were out to witness their trees being pulled out and thrown in a large truck already full of trees. We started to ask the workers what was going on, but we got a very short answer that “the city is putting a sidewalk at one side of the road and these trees need to be removed to allow space for that.”

We asked the crew if we could take our trees to our backyards to plant them there our-

Goose patrol not worth cost

N

o one likes stepping in poop.

From the canine variety to the stuff left behind by the occasional horse, it’s something we’ve tried as a society to banish from our cities. But sometimes these efforts go too far, especially when it costs $30,000, which is what the city is paying a man with a remote-control helicopter to scare off the geese littering the Petrie Island beaches with feces.

It’s understandable for the city to attempt to keep its beaches clean. The goose poop at Petrie Island typically forces the closure of the beach a few times a year. Birds have also been a problem in the past at the other beaches too.

But $30,000? For a four-month contract to scare away animals that are simply doing what birds do?

It’s one thing to take extreme measures in order to protect people from harm. If bears were roaming the streets, $30,000 to keep them away might seem reasonable. Paying that sum to an individual to work six days a week flying what amounts to a toy around scaring off the geese – and those pesky seagulls, too – is simply excessive.

There’s also no guarantee the geese won’t come back. If the flocks return, do we then just ante up once more next summer and watch as the new beach

patrol becomes a familiar facet of urban living?

There are other measures available, ones that have been used with varying degrees of success. Britannia Park has seen a transparent net installed above the beach and swimming area to ward off seagulls in the past. It’s unlikely this cost quite as much, it is reusable and works 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If having someone head out to the beach to scare off the birds is what’s needed, the city has more than enough workers on the payroll who could head over with a gas-powered leaf blower a couple of times per day to spook the geese.

All of this avoids taking any consideration of whether the geese should be scared off in the first place. Wild animals share our city with us. Every once in a while, a moose will run down a suburban street or a pedestrian will be cornered by an ornery turkey, but neither of these problems warranted a five-figure solution.

There are plenty of other sources of E. coli, too.

Storm runoff from sewers and farms contribute far more to contaminated beaches than a flock of geese ever would.

While the approach is novel, and “hexacopters� might have some civic use down the road, the city should be finding a better use for scarce tax dollars.

Elmore Leonard and the end of summer reading

T

he summer reading season is coming to a close.

That’s a shame because when we read in the summer we do real reading. We don’t just pick up the book on the bedside table and read five pages before we go to sleep, the last two of which we have to read again the next day.

What we do in vacation reading is spend lots of time with the book, so we get right into it. We carry it around and we can’t wait to get back to it. It forms part of the cottage conversation. What’s that book? What’s it about? Can I borrow it when you finish?

There are books that are written specifically for summer reading, of course, so-called beach books. Some of them are pretty good.

Others are the literary equivalent of summer movies – lots of empty action and contrived romances. Oddly, the best place to find beach books is at airports, but no one calls them airport books.

But there are other books, such as crime novels and spy thrillers, that have some literary credibility when they are well done.

Anything by John le CarrĂŠ would fit into that category, as would the mysteries of Henning Mankell and Ian Rankin and the crime fiction of Elmore Leonard, who died last week after

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town producing more than 40 exceptionally readable novels.

You have to plan your summer reading carefully, since it’s going to be the reading you do most intensely. My pattern, perfected over the ages, has been to alternate the heavier, more literary stuff with a Rankin or something about music or sports. There’s what I think of as a Presbyterian quality to this: you have to finish something that’s good for you before you can move on to the stuff you really like.

This summer I was lugging around the late David Foster Wallace’s massive novel Infinite Jest. It is 1,079 pages long, with about 100 pages of footnotes that you need to read. Wallace is brilliant, funny and writes with great passion. He goes for it in every sentence. In-

finite Jest puts me in mind of a John Coltrane solo – it’s intense, creative and it goes on and on. No objection to that, but every once in a while you have to take a break.

I’m about halfway through Infinite Jest, having already interrupted it once with another novel and I think my next interruption will be Elmore Leonard’s latest, and last, novel which I’ve been saving for just such an occasion.

Leonard’s novels – some of his Ottawa fans call them “Elmores� – have a similar quality to The Sopranos television series: not that they are about organized crime, but that their main characters are not master criminals, but colourful low-life individuals, bumbling through life on the dark side. There is violence in an Elmore, to be sure, but also a lot of humour and incredibly funny dialogue.

This is no accident. Leonard followed strict rules for writing, which he shared with readers in 2001. The most important one: “Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.�

Pretty smart. That would include things like prologues, descriptions of the weather, the scenery and the appearances of characters – since the reader will develop his own mental picture of what a character looks like from what the character does and says.

Leonard would have us avoid verbs other than “said� in describing dialogue, as well as adverbs to modify “said� – no on exclaims excitedly in an Elmore. And the word “suddenly� never appears, because if something happens suddenly the reader should know it anyway.

Leonard sums up his rules this way: “If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.�

Of course, there are writers who can get away with breaking any of his rules. There are also writers who shouldn’t try. We read them in the summer and can’t wait to get back to an Elmore.

Want smart children? Support their teachers

A

s we head into another school year, the threats of teacher strikes and work-to-rule seem far behind us, don’t they?

It’s hard to believe it was only a year ago that the provincial government waged such a nasty public relations campaign against teachers.

Yet it was an effective campaign.

Just the other day, I heard someone grumbling, yet again, about teacher salaries.

Yes, the government did a good job of painting teachers with the brush of lazy, overpaid complainers.

Yet a new book by American science journalist Amanda Ripley should give you pause before criticizing teachers and their salaries.

In The Smartest Kids in the World and How they Got That Way, Ripley analyzes international testing results

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse across a number of countries to try and figure out why students in the United States continue to be surpassed in academics, not only by those in Canada, but also by students in countries as diverse as South Korea and Finland.

Ripley concludes that the single most important contributor to a child’s academic success is the quality of his teacher.

Consider this: Ripley found through her research that a child could be in the most decrepit building with limited school supplies and

zero access to technology and yet, with the right teacher, could outperform students from some of the wealthiest private schools in California.

But what, exactly, makes a good teacher?

In an August interview with Maclean’s magazine, Ripley suggested there are a number of factors commonly found among the best teachers, including a combination of high-level education and the coaching skills required to push students through difficult tasks or subjects.

In Finland, only top students are allowed into teachers’ college, where they spend six years in training, Ripley told Maclean’s, while math teachers in that country require a master’s degree in the subject before doing their training as educators.

regard, while teachers and the institutions they serve are given broad public support by parents and politicians.

After all, smart and talented people are more likely to enter into a profession that is respected and wellpaid, which is not the case

We are fortunate in Ontario to have teachers that are both highly-educated and wellpaid, which means we’re well on our way to having some of the best in the world teaching our children.

But the most profound difference in the countries where academic success is prevalent?

Academics in those countries are held in high

in Ripley’s own country. “...When the teachers are so educated, they are held in esteem,” Ripley told Maclean’s.

“And when they are R0012274634

esteemed, the whole business seems important, more worthy of respect: a virtuous circle.”

We are fortunate in Ontario to have teachers that are both highly-educated and well-paid, which means we’re well on our way to having some of the best in the world teaching our children.

What’s missing, in many circles, is respect for those in the profession and for the system, itself.

So while you’re out spending hundreds of dollars buying new laptops and pencils for the kids or forking over private school tuition fees, it may be worth thinking about picking up a shiny new apple for the teacher.

You never know, with a little extra support from you the parent, your kid’s teacher may make him among the smartest in the world.

Rotarian raises $10,000 for food cupboard Jessica Cunha

R0012265334_0822

News - Nine people held their breath as Steve Sharlow stepped up onto a scale to see the final result of his year-long weight-loss project on Aug. 22.

Clapping and congratulations broke out as the scale’s red needle came to rest at the 210-pound mark.

Sharlow shed 96 pounds in a little over 12 months, raising more than $10,000 for the Kanata Food Cupboard.

“I’m extremely proud; I’m very happy that he’s done this,” said his wife, Karen. “His health has improved as a result.”

Sharlow, past-president of the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club, pledged to lose 100 pounds and raise $10,000 for the food cupboard last July. Even though he didn’t quite hit his weightloss goal, he’s proud of his accomplishments and the amount of money donated to his cause.

“It really helps when everyone else knows you’re doing it; psychological pressure helps when you

It really helps when everyone else knows you’re doing it; psychological pressure helps when you know people are watching you STEVE SHARLOW

know people are watching you,” he said, adding it makes him happy to know the funds raised will help the local community.

Sharlow slipped on a pair of his old pants, grinning as he held out the waistband of the khakis. He said it’s important to be able to laugh during the process of losing weight.

“Get rid of your fat clothes,” said Sharlow. “And have a sense of humour. That helps.”

His larger clothing will be donated to the Salvation Army.

FINAL WEIGH-IN

The final weigh-in was held in the morning at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Kanata, which Sharlow said “pampered me through the process.” His family doctor, Ian Watson, monitored his health throughout the project.

Sharlow managed to lose close to 100 pounds by cutting out certain foods, like processed sugars, and walking 10,000 steps a day.

“I spend a lot of time looking at labels, my shopping takes me a lot longer,” he said, adding the end result is worth a little extra time spent doing groceries.

He said cheating on a diet is also natural, but people need to be aware of their personal triggers.

Sharlow just shy of weight loss goal, vows to continue Continued from page 14

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Steve Sharlow, past-president of the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club, shows off his newly trim figure on Aug. 22. He dropped almost 100 pounds - down to 210 from 306 pounds.

Didn’t get your War Amps key tags in the mail?

Order them today!

“Know what your cheat things are,” said Sharlow, who plans to lose 20 more pounds and continue with his healthy habits.

“The big thing will be not to go back to my old eating habits,” he said.

Losing weight also tends to get more difficult as people age, Sharlow said. When he was younger, he and his friends would make bets to see who could lose the most weight in two weeks.

“I’d always wipe them,” laughed Sharlow. “It’s harder to do when you’re older.”

Sharlow said he’d like to see the rotary club pick up where he left off and participate in something similar.

He said people in the organization

could pledge to lose five pounds each, as an example.

“This might be a good way to do a fundraiser next year,” he said. “Make it a health issue for the community … we’ll be an example.”

Sharlow chose to donate to the Kanata Food Cupboard after seeing the rising numbers of clients accessing the non-profit, as well as a report on declining donations. He said being overweight and not having access to edibles are both food-related issues.

Once all the funds have been collected, Sharlow will present a cheque to the food cupboard.

Arts - Coloured pencils aren’t just for high school art classes anymore.

Katimavik artist Allison Fagan is offering a series of workshops on how to effectively use coloured pencils to create personal works of art.

“It was a lonely time back then before the Internet, with no classes available to me and only one coloured pencil book as a resource,” said Fagan, who has been using the medium for more than 25 years. “Coloured pencil is now recognized world-wide as a diverse art medium and there are many resources, courses, books, associations and exhibitions promoting the medium.

“I wanted to share what I had learned myself with other people.”

The course begins on Sept. 14 and offers four levels of training, from basic techniques to more advanced skills. People can sign up for all four days or for individual classes.

Each workshop will build on skills learned

in the previous class, said Fagan, who’s been teaching in schools and at workshops for almost 30 years.

“A lot of my students, I’m happy to say, have gone on to be coloured pencil artists,” she said. “It’s portable, it’s a clean medium.

It’s versatile; you can use it with other (mediums), with paint and mixed media art work.”

Her teaching approach is step-by-step, she said, adding her students work from photographs.

“Everybody has already used them in their life as children so it’s not as intimidating as other mediums,” said Fagan. “Because we lead busy lives, coming to a class is often the only time people find they can be creative.

It’s just an opportunity for getting together with creative people and just enjoying it.

“They’re happy artists and they have beautiful work to show for it.”

There are 12 spaces available for each of the four classes. The cost is $75 a day.

Looking bored never paid off when Mother was around

HOWʼS THIS FOR STARTERS?

T

he day was dragging on too slowly to suit me.

It was late summer and my Saturday chores had been done hours before. Neither of my best friends could come to play. I was bored beyond belief.

I sat on the cement step surrounding the boards at the pump in the middle of the yard and curled dandelion stems just the way my sister Audrey had taught me. They were laid out before me like a pile of pale green pencils.

From the same cement stoop, I had played jacks, but without someone to play with I soon tired of that, too. Then I braided long pieces of grass, another talent I learned from Audrey. I picked up stones around the pump with my toes, piling them neatly on the platform. Finally, I resorted to letting them plop down the well between the boards, listening to them drop in the well water below.

It was a hot day for late summer. My three brothers had gone to the Bonnechere River for a swim and Audrey was visiting her friend Iva on the next farm. There was nothing for me to do. I had dressed and undressed my dolls too often to count and even Sport, our old collie, wasn’t interested in fetching a stick I threw out from my perch on the platform.

I thought of going into the house and telling Mother I was bored and there was nothing to do, but I knew from past experience what kind of a reply

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories that would earn me.

“Well, get the ball of string out of the cupboard and knit a dishcloth. That will keep you busy for a while.”

I hated knitting dishcloths with a passion. I hated knitting with a passion. Once my sister started me on making a scarf of bright red wool and it didn’t take long to see that something was drastically wrong when what I had knitted was turning into a complete circle. Audrey admitted there was a good possibility I would never be a knitter. I heard her say “hopeless” under her breath.

Making dishcloths out of a ball of string that had come in pieces from Briscoe’s General Store was low on my list of fun things to do. For some reason, I was always able to manage to create what could pass for a dish rag, even though I hated every last stitch I made.

Beads of sweat were on my nose and I looked over at the house with its blinds down and the kitchen door tightly closed. I knew it would be cooler inside than where I was sitting, but what was I going to do when I went in? The house would be as dark as Mother could make it to keep out the summer heat and I knew the

Findlay Oval would be out.

Mother had a talent for working when there was very little light. I pictured her sitting at the table stringing beans or peeling potatoes or doing some other kitchen chore that didn’t require open windows.

I went to the swing in the grape arbour. It was cooler, but not much, and there sure wasn’t any fun in swinging by myself.

I even thought about phoning my bitter rival Marguirite to come over. I was desperate, I knew, but not that desperate.

The minutes ticked by as slow as molasses in January.

Well, there was nothing to do but head for the kitchen door. Maybe Mother would raise the blinds and I could look through the new Eaton’s catalogue that had arrived in the mail that week or maybe draw with the bits of chalk mother kept in a Watkin’s Baking Powder tin on the floor in front of the back door that lead upstairs.

It was a flat door, just a slab really, and a perfect spot to draw or write with chalk.

The rule was as soon as we finished it had to be washed off completely.

Should have pursued two casinos earlier: mayor Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

at two sites as the city had originally intended to debate that day.

That debate was headed off on the morning of the meeting when the OLG sent a letter to the mayor and city indicating that it would not be willing to consider allowing multiple satellite gaming facilities in Ottawa’s zone.

The committee also recommended there should be efforts to mitigate the publichealth impacts of gambling, including limiting a casino’s operating hours, restricting the number of electronic gaming machines, slowing down the speed of machine play, eliminating casino loyalty programs, prohibiting ATMs on the gaming floor and implementing maximum bet sizes and daily losses.

But those recommendations are suggestions for the OLG and its future casino operator – not enforceable rules, Waston conceded.

Laura Mueller/Metroland

Mayor Jim Watson speaks to the media on Aug, 26 after the city’s finance committee voted to protect existing approved gambling facilities at the Rideau Carleton Raceway only.

See SENS, page 22 Advertorial

R0012269998_0829

News - If he could do it differently, Mayor Jim Watson says he would have worked harder to protect slots at the raceway from the start while still securing a secondary casino site in Ottawa.

“We should have specifically asked for preferential consideration as part of the condition to have a satellite (gaming facility) at (Rideau Carleton Raceway),” Watson said. “I think if we had gotten that up front, a lot of this debate would have been moot.”

Last year, the mayor was very vocal about his vision for an urban or downtown casino that could compete with Lac-Leamy in Gatineau and repatriate gambling revenue lost to Quebec. Last week, the finance and economic development committee he chairs approved a very different vision: the same number of slot machines that are already in

place at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, plus the addition of 21 gaming tables council had previously approved as a pilot project.

“I don’t think this has been a particularly smooth process and I’ll take the blame for that,” Watson said in a rare moment of candor after the Aug. 26 vote.

A lack of clarity from the province probably didn’t help, Watson said, “but at the end of the day, I’ll wear it,” he said. “This process has not been our council or the OLG’s finest hour.”

Watson said the compromise was a way for the city to ensure it has same gaming capacity – and revenue – but in a way that’s in line with “the general parameters of acceptance (of) our community.”

Councillors voted on the issue without the benefit of an economic analysis comparing the financial benefit to the city of expanding gambling at the raceway, or

Ema Lee Fashions: Still going strong after 10 years

Downtown Balderson probably has fewer residents than the posted speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour, but it does have Ema Lee Fashions, the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley.

When Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney bought the old general store in Balderson, situated seven kilometres north of Perth in 2002, there was quite a buzz going around. They were called crazy, told to bulldoze it down and that their business would never succeed. With one year of hard work and persistence, the renovations were complete and their business began.

Ten years later Ema Lee Fashions, which is open seven days a week, is still going strong.

Well known for its vast selection of ladies apparel, purses, bathing suits and men’s shirts, the demographic area of returning customers and new visitors keeps growing larger and larger.

“We have customers from Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto, just to name a

few, but I find it absolutely amazing to think that from this little hamlet, our clothes have travelled all around the world,” Desjardine said.

“But our success could not be possible without our dedicated staff and the support from the surrounding areas,” she continued. “It’s nice to hear customers tell us that while visiting Perth, the ladies from the Chamber of Commerce sent them our way.”

In 2007, Ema Lee Fashions was named as ‘The best in Canada’ for destination shopping. Customers sum it up by commenting, “If you can’t find anything here, you’re not shopping,” and

“What a hidden treasure.”

Another French visitor said “Ca vaut le detour,” (It’s worth the detour.)

While visiting Ema Lee Fashions, you can also enjoy breakfast or lunch at the quaint Balderson Café, buy local produce and all-natural ice cream at Balderson Fine Foods or treat yourself to some homemade pies, bread and lemon squares from Anne & Vanessa’s Bake Shop. All of the stores are adjacent to each other.

Across the road, you will find Balderson Village Cheese, The Amish Store and Cora’s Gift Shop.

There’s plenty to discover in Downtown Balderson!

Sens shut out after casino vote Continued from page 21

Councillors say the vote was intended to reflect the views they heard from constituents about protecting the raceway as a rural economic driver – not to pursue a gambling hall that would be able to compete with Casino Lac-Leamy.

It was a stark contrast from council’s position last fall, when it voted for an open and competitive bidding process that included the Rideau Carleton Raceway site.

That specification was relevant because the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s stated objective was to bring gambling facilities to where people live – urban areas. As a decidedly rural facility, the raceway would appear to be at a disadvantage under the OLG’s goals.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who has been the council member most vocally opposed to new gambling, said she couldn’t see how protecting the existing approved gaming at the raceway could attract a bid for a “world class” facility that casino proponents describe.

Alex Lawryk, who represents the raceway, said additional amenities like a hotel will be a large part of what makes the site into a destination.

He said the raceway is hoping to undertake an expansion in the future.

SENS SHUT OUT

In voting to limit any new gambling options or revenues to the raceway site, the finance committee eliminated the possibility of a casino or any gambling facility elsewhere in Ottawa, including at the Canadian Tire Centre.

Dejected Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said after the vote that he could not

understand why the city was willing to vote to benefit the raceway property owners at the expense of any other business or property in the city, including his casino proposal. But at the end of the day, it’s a call for the OLG to make, Melnyk said.

“There’s no question that this is an OLG decision,” Melnyk said. “You can’t singlesource this stuff.”

Casino proponents on council say the bidding process is open and have suggested Melynk could bid to operate gambling facilities on any site, including at the raceway.

Melnyk said his lawyer, Paul Webber, has said what the city is doing is “inappropriate and possibly illegal” and alluded to possible legal action against the city.

The Senators owner argued that developing the Canadian Tire Centre as an entertainment destination with a casino, performance amphitheatre, shopping and restaurant district was critical to ensuring the financial viability of his hockey team, which he said loses $10 million every year.

“We will keep going, but we have to come up with a Plan C,” Melnyk said.

The mayor said the decision was within the committee’s purview to make.

“I knew Mr. Melnyk would be disappointed, but we do have the authority given to us by the OLG to be site specific, or whatever the equivalent opposite of site specific is,” Watson said.

He said he expects the city’s strong relationship with the Senators to continue.

Plasco CEO Rod Bryden, environment committee chairwoman Maria McRae and city manager Kent Kirkpatrick take questions from the media after the committee voted to give Plasco an extension to finance his waste-to-energy plant on Aug. 22.

‘Patience is running out’ for Plasco financing: McRae

As we all know school will soon be back in session. Please be careful on our roadways and to keep our children safe.

Since being elected as your Councillor the condition of Eagleson Road has been a common complaint in my office. I have been working hard to get Eagleson repaved from Cope to Hazledean Road with a turn lane extension to Fernbank Road. I am pushing to have this important project completed this fall with construction beginning as soon as possible. Please watch my website and this column for updates.

Committee gives waste-to-energy idea an extension – with strings attached

Boulevard Maintenance: Another common complain I have been receiving is the maintenance of Boulevards.

Property owners have the responsibility to maintain the municipally owned portion of the street that adjoins their property. Boulevards are typically the section of grass between the sidewalk and roadway, and property owners are responsible for removing garbage, clearing debris, and cutting the grass.

News - Plasco got an extension on a financing deadline for its garbage disposal plant on Aug. 22, but the environment committee indicated for the first time that its patience is starting to run out.

“Time is money,” said RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt as he introduced a motion that will ensure the city starts looking at other possible ways to deal with residential garbage if Plasco Energy Group’s vision of a novel plasma-gasification facility doesn’t materialize on time.

It was the second time Plasco CEO Rod Bryden had to ask the committee for an extension on one of the deadlines imposed in the contract he signed with the city. It’s not that investors aren’t interested in the project, which would be the first of its kind in the world, Bryden said.

But it took about a year to get the contract wording worked out with city lawyers and the time left to get investors on board before the deadline was overly optimistic, he said.

Bryden said he is confident the plant will be built because the firms financing it have deep pockets and a global view.

“That’s one of the reasons why the funds necessary to complete Plasco’s development program and build the Ottawa plant will be available,” Bryden said. “Because the equity funds that support the company see a world market, not an Ottawa

market.”

The deadline extension will give those financers more confidence, he said.

If Plasco doesn’t show the city it has the proper financing in place by the new December 2014 deadline, it would automatically trigger a request for interest from companies that think they have a technology that could help Ottawa avoid filling up its Trail Road landfill with residential garbage. At current rates, the landfill is expected to fill up by around 2035.

While councillors mentioned Enerkem, a company that is working to turn garbage into biofuel in Edmonton, city manager Kent Kirkpatrick cautioned that he is not aware of any technologies that would be commercially viable in Ottawa or compete with the deal the city has worked out with Plasco, since the municipality is in a good position with no financial risk by offering to become the first host for the plasma gasification plant.

Kirkpatrick will send a memo outlining all the available alternatives by the end of September for city councillors’ information.

Still, committee chairwoman Maria McRae, councillor for River Ward, and other councillors expressed support for Plasco.

“I know that we’re very anxious as a city to see Plasco proceed,” McRae said.

Chance of finding new landfill site almost nil Continued from page 24

The possibility of finding a new spot for a landfill in Ottawa is almost nil, she said, so the city has to do something.

“Essentially I see this as the ‘patience is running out’ motion,” McRae said of Moffatt’s proposal. “We really want to support Plasco, but if we don’t see movement … (it’s) so we’re not lagging behind a year and a half from now.”

That view set off a heated argument with Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, who argued it was ridiculous that the city would pursue another option for waste disposal when it has a “perfectly good” landfill with a couple decades of capacity left. The city should focus its efforts on diversion to ensure that landfill asset lasts longer, Hume said.

“I quite frankly don’t believe that pursuing alternative disposal tech is a productive exercise for council to undertake,” Hume said.

Duncan Bury, a Champlain Park resident and former city waste manager who oversaw the introduction of blue-bin recycling in Ottawa, told the city it shouldn’t wait to look at other options.

“People have been trying to crack this for some time and have not been able to do it for municipal waste,” he said. “The city should stop wasting its time on this … I think it’s a fundamentally flawed dream.”

The city cannot actively pursue other waste-disposal technologies while it’s

Plasco CEO Rod Bryden takes questions from the media after the environment committee voted to give his company an extension to finance his waste-to-energy plant on Aug. 22. tied into a contract with Plasco.

The Ottawa facility is expected to cost around $200 million for Plasco to build.

The company has invested $350 million towards developing the technology, Bryden said.

Successful communities are almost always those that have residents participating in many ways as volunteers. What would Kanata be like without the volunteer coaches and administrators for hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, Scouts, Guides and other youth groups? What would our community look like if we didn’t have volunteers cleaning our parks and streets and dealing with planning and development issues?

How would residents in need function without groups like the Kanata Food Cupboard, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and other such groups? How much would be lost if members of our communities stopped fundraising for charitable organizations and for international development? So much of what happens can only be accomplished with volunteers. And the great reward for doing so is the satisfaction that comes from helping others. So as the fall season approaches, why not consider what you can do to support your community and make even more opportunities available - and enjoy the benefits that come from supporting others.

COMMUNITY GARDEN Community members from Morgan’s Grant and the Chinese Seniors organization have been working together to develop a community garden in Kanata North. A site within the hydro corridor that runs through Morgan’s Grant has been selected as the preferred location. The garden will be composed of a number of raised beds, within two foot high structures, as well as a storage shed and water standpipe. To find out more, plan to attend a public meeting on Sept. 16th at the Old Town Hall off Klondike at 6 pm.

Mary gets no sympathy from Mother Continued from page 18

I opened the back door and just as I thought, Mother was at the kitchen table in the dim light stringing beans. I shuffled in, letting out a big sigh, trying to gain sympathy from Mother, who could, as Audrey would say, “read any one of us like a book.”

“Nothing to do, eh?” I knew right away I was caught.

Mother took her eyes off the beans long enough to nod her head towards the back-to-the wall cupboard. That’s all it took was one nod.

I let out a big sigh. In fact, I sighed all the way to the cupboard.

I reached into the basket that always sat on the bottom shelf and took out the ball of string and the knitting needles sticking out of it.

I got no sympathy from Mother as I headed for the kitchen door and the swing, with the string and the knitting needles. Never, ever in the 1930’s did you say you were bored and there was nothing to do if you were seven years old. In fact, all you had to do was look bored and you knew what your fate was. Another string dish cloth would soon join the other pile in drawer in the back-tothe-wall cupboard.

The Environment Committee has approved a revised timeline to Dec. 2014 for confirmation of funding for the Plasco Plant that is to deal with residual garbage from residential areas. Plasco is paying the cost of building the plant. Completion for operation remains 2016. The Committee also passed a motion to have staff prepare an evaluation of other systems (other than landfill) to deal with garbage if funding has not been confirmed by the revised date.

efits,� said Geoff Cape of Evergreen Bick Works, the first presenter. “The strategy of urban sprawl has failed. Infill becomes the big strategy moving forward.�

That might not be music to the ears of all Ottawa residents. Infill has been a tough fit in many older neighbourhoods – so much so that the city’s planning department is attempting to define how best to allow new homes that bring more residents into the urban area be built in a way that fits into the character of existing neighbourhoods.

The first part of that effort – a zoning bylaw looking at front yards and parking – is still mired in an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Cape said municipalities will need to have a strong role in encouraging appropriate infill development. “There is a certain responsibility on the supply side to supply the right stuff,� he said about the types of housing available. “The developer and the municipal side have to be involved to steer the consumer in the right direction.�

Urban populations across the globe are expected to double over the next 40 to 50 years, Cape said. This period will be critical to determine which cities succeed and which will fail, he said.

To get there, cities need to look at development on a small scale – at the community level, said Thomas Mueller, the second presenter. He spoke about the concept of eco districts and how they are models for how we can get closer to communities and

needs to be reined in, experts told a group of municipal officials gathered in Ottawa for a conference last week.

Eco districts can be a hard sell for cities like Ottawa, developer says Continued from page 26

It doesn’t have to start from a clean slate, Mueller said. Existing neighbourhoods can overhaul their sustainability by investing in infrastructure that reduces waste and by making communities more livable.

Encouraging people to ditch their cars is one of the main goals that can be achieved by making communities more livable, Mueller said. And tall

buildings don’t necessarily have to be a part of that, he said.

“Density doesn’t mean you have to go very high,” he said. “Midscale density is done well in Europe.”

Planning for sustainable and livable communities in partnership with residents who already live there will yield a more robust result and ensure that the city’s goal of becoming more livable could actually be achieved, he said.

“That was way to easy!”

“I think this is a very important aspect that’s often neglected,” he said.

But the community has a responsibility, too. Residents have to take on a long-term commitment to continue to advocate for the goals and to support the resources they are given to make their neighbourhood more sustainable.

“If people are engaged, everything can hit higher targets than anticipated,” Mueller said.

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Stallions reload for 2013-14 season

Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

Sports - It’s still only preseason, but Kanata Stallions assistant coach Dustin Dorken likes what he sees.

Kanata’s new stable of players have a spring in their step and can cross the ice much faster than last year’s team, he said.

“Guys are just moving the puck a lot faster,” he said. “We got the guns to be more of a puck-possession team. I think we got a much more skilled team.”

This is the second season for head coach Corey Foster and his staff at the helm.

Last year, the Stallions competed in the Fred Page Cup, by virtue of hosting the an-

nual eastern Canadian junior hockey tournament, which included the winners of the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League, the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), the Maritime Hockey League and the host team.

The Stallions failed to earn a playoff spot in the 2013 CCHL playoffs, finishing the season with a 28-34 record, placing ninth in the 12-team league, and missing out on the post-season by four points.

In 2012-13, the team played a tough defense-first type of game, relying on turnovers and the play of goaltender Brandon Lane.

“This kid was ridiculous,” said Dorken. “He’d steal games.”

Lane won’t be back this year, after accepting a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 scholarship to play for Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Penn.

Competing for his old job are Braydon St. Germain, Ian Donnan and Noel Skinner, a pickup from Nova Scotia.

“The job’s up for grabs,” said Dorken. “He’s definitely

got big skates to fill, for whoever’s going to take the No. 1 job.”

RELOAD

The Stallions were forced to reload this season after an exodus of 20-year-old players including Curtis Watson - the best defenceman in the league, according to Dorken, and the team’s top line: Fabian Walsh, centre, and wingers Joe Breslin and Brandon Petrie.

The return of centre Derian Plouffe, the team’s top-scoring forward last season, who racked up 35 goals and 33 assists last season, will help, said Dorken.

Nic LaBurn, a power forward now playing his second year in a Stallions’ uniform, hopes to step into a top-six slot.

“He’d sooner go over guys than around them,” said Dorken.

LaBurn scored 13 goals and 14 assists and had 48 penalty minutes in 60 games in 201213.

Meanwhile, general manager Lou Nistico has been

Kanata Stallions J.P. Langlois, left, Derian Plouffe and Nic LaBurn are looking to kick it up a notch this year in their hunt to make the playoffs. The season starts at the Bell Sensplex on Aug. 31, starting at 7 p.m. busy filling in the team’s gaps, signing a slew of players from the United States and Canada, including J.P. Langlois, a fast puck-moving defenceman who last year played for Northwoods School in Lake Placid, N.Y. “We’ve been chasing him since March and he finally signed in May,” said Dorken.

“We needed some offence.

We only had one 5/22/12 offensive F_MaryLouMorris_1204:009 1:01 F_MaryLouMorris_1204:009

5/22/12

defenceman last year and we struggled to score.”

Langlois will be joined on the Stallions’ blueline by Trent Yule, who also played at Northwoods School last season.

Langlois and Yule are expected to be workhorses for the Stallions, playing on both the power play and penalty kill.

Local lacrosse team surprise provincial champs emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - A group of teenaged lacrosse players were surprised to find themselves hoisting a championship banner this August after a comefrom-behind win at their provincial tournament.

The Nepean Knights Bantam 2 lacrosse team had only won five regular season games out of more than 20 heading into the Ontario Lacrosse Festival in Oshawa, Ont. over the weekend of August 3.

But somehow the players, most of them aged 13 and 14, strung together six wins in a row at the festival to bring home the E division banner.

Osgoode resident Debbie Gallagher, mother of team captain Colin Gallagher, said the team was relatively inexperienced and had a “tough season” before heading to southern Ontario for the annual event.

Nepean advanced to the quarter final where they beat Kitchener-Waterloo 4-2, and then played Midland again in

Nepean Knights captain Colin Gallagher, right, and teammate Alex Caparelli were all smiles after their win. the semi-final, beating them 5-3. But it was the final game against Sault St. Marie that left parents and spectators on

the edge of their seats, said Gallagher, whose husband Alan is an assistant coach.

The Knights were losing

3-0 after the first period. But in the second period, captain Colin Gallagher scored within about one minute of play, with the help of Anikan Burns. The team went on to score three more unanswered goals in the second period – two from Nick Ventrecek and one from Cameron Millar.

Now ahead by one, the crowds were still in for a wild ride as Sault St. Marie tied it up at the beginning of the third period, leaving each team with four goals apiece.

“It was such an exciting finish,” said Gallagher. She said the game had added excitement because the stands were full of spectators.

Sports - Eric Kibi and Manock Lual are excited to be coming back home.

At an Aug. 21 news conference at city hall, as the pair were taking photos with one another in SkyHawks hats, Lual was quick to remind Kibi send him copies.

The east-end Ottawa players were both picked up in the Aug. 17 and 18 National Basketball League draft by Ottawa’s new basketball team, along with four other Ontario players.

“We’re very excited to have these guys up here in Canada,” said team owner Gus Takkale. “We’re bringing top notch Canadians back to Canadian soil.”

Lual, who attended Rideau High School, was the team’s second draft pick. He played locally for the Ottawa Pheonix. He then played for the University of Prince Edward Island and eventually professional ball with Medway Park, a team in Britain.

“I’m very excited to play in front of my friends, family and city,” he said. “Hopefully I can give you guys something to be proud of as well.”

Kibi attended St. Matthew High School before transferring to an American prep school and went on to play for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

“It’s kind of a dream come true,” he said. “Three, four years ago, we never saw this coming.”

The team also selected Toronto players Tristan Blackwood, Jerome Brown and Alex Johnson and Belleville’s Jamie Vanderbeken.

Johnson, a former North Carolina State player and the first overall draft pick, didn’t even intend to try out at the NBL combine. He went to support a teammate and ended up in a jersey playing with the rest of the recruits.

Takkale said when the administrator tried to tell him he couldn’t play

because he wasn’t registered, the league’s president ran down and told him to keep on going.

“Every coach, every GM had his eyes on him,” Takkale said. “He was the best player by far. So we went to go see him at a community club by his house.”

It’s been a whirlwind week for Johnson, who found himself signed with the Ottawa team only days after the draft.

“I kind of just ran with it,” he said.

It’s the first time a Canadian player has been selected as the first overall pick in the NBL draft – mirroring the 2013 National Basketball Association draft, which saw Canadian Anthony Bennett selected first overall.

Takkale said it was important for the team to keep things as local as possible and draft Canadian players.

Sports - Mason Boomhower was drenched at the end of his team’s season opening game at Robert Barr Football Field on Aug. 23.

Some of it was sweat, but most came courtesy of his Kanata Knights teammates, who celebrat-

ed the win and Mason’s birthday with a water bottle dousing.

The linebacker was a force on the field, racking up several tackles and sacks, and during one play forced a fumble, recovered the ball and rushed the ball for a touchdown.

Tyke Knights defence and offence built for speed Continued from page 33

The tyke Knights dominated, finishing the game with a 42-0 victory over the West Carleton Wolverines.

“I’m very happy with the team’s performance on Friday night,” said Knights’ head coach Mike Brown.

“I’m pretty confident this season.”

NEED FOR SPEED

The Knights are hoping to repeat the success of last year’s tykes, who finished with a 7-1 record.

This year’s team is built for speed.

“We don’t have a lot of size, so we rely on our speed,” said Brown.

Only seven of this year’s squad are returning players.

“I’m hoping for the best,” said Brown. “I’m hoping to win six or seven games, and I’m hoping for a championship.”

The Knights offence is led by quarterback Connor Vanasse, 10, who is new to the position, after playing as an offensive linesman two years ago and taking a year off from playing football last year.

“He’s ... very smart, very athletic with a strong arm,” said Brown.

The Knights have a strong running game, featuring running backs Brody Bampton, Kyle Prince and A.J. Richmond.

We don’t have a lot of size, so we rely on our speed.

MIKE BROWN TYKE KNIGHTS HEAD COACH

“With Kyle and A.J. you have a lot of strength for the running back position and Brody adds the speed,” Brown said. “It gives us the best back-

field I’ve probably ever had.”

The Knights have two fast wide receivers in Akash Prashad and London Bernard, who also plays running back, he said.

The offensive line is led by centre Aiden Eggleton.

“He’s a big strong kid, really smart, a good player,” said Brown.

The ability and ferocity of the Knights’ defence came as a bit of surprise for the Knights coaching staff.

“Boy did they step up (last week).

It was a shock to me.” said Brown.

“They were hitting some big boys. I was surprised at how well they did es-

pecially as nine year olds.”

The team’s defensive line is anchored by linebackers Boomhowerm Dylan Allarie, Caleb Faulkner and Daniel Bersyniod and includes defensive ends David Dent and Darius Reed.

“It’s all built around speed,” said Brown.

“Not a lot of size, but they’re quick to the ball, smart players that are very aggressive.”

The tyke Knights’ next game is on the road against the Brockville Braves at Commonwealth Public School’s football field on Sept. 2.

Bantam Knights win in blowout Kanata Knights

Sports - The bantam Kanata Knights opened their season at Bob Barr Field in Kanata, securing an impressive 27-0 victory against the West Carleton Wolverines on Aug. 25.

Knights’ veteran Ashton Vanasse led the scoring with two touchdowns.

Colton Brydges and Luke Morrison each scored touchdowns, adding to the tally.

Throughout the game the Knights’ offence was strong. Michael Kraeker, Patrick Heika, Nick Ainger, Brandon Atwood, Garrett Kirk and Braiden D’Aoust ran, passed, caught and blocked, to keep the ball moving in R0012247904-0808

the Knights’ favor.

A blowout doesn’t happen without a strong defence.

Blocking, tackling and out-running their opponents Abed Hamidi, Dylan Walker, Austin Cranney, Duncan McDonald, Cesar Becerril, Alex Polataiko, Dylan Lachance, Tristan Hubley and Will O’Brien kept the Wolverines off their game and the Knights ahead in the scoring.

The Knights next game is Labour Day Sunday, Sept. 1, when the team kicks off at 2 p.m. against the South Gloucester Raiders at Leitrim Field.

Hospice gets telecommunication boost in care michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Clients needing hospice care across the region can now be connected with a health care practitioner with the touch of a button.

The hospice fundraising organization OutCare Foundation announced that 12 palliative care sites in the Champlain region will now have access to the Ontario Telemedicine Net-

“The increased expertise that we can now access enables our clients to remain at Hospice Renfrew while receiving the best care possible,” said Diane Caughey, executive director of Hospice Renfrew.

“Staying in their community,

close to friends and family, is incredibly important at this time in their lives.”

The $380,000 worth of telecommunications equipment was purchased thanks to donations and fundraising effort from companies including Cisco Canada, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and the Community Foundation of Ottawa,

“This takes patient care to a new level,” Pereira said. “We have now been given this technology, let’s use it.”

Pereira said this technology is so advanced, when he uses it he feels as though he is in the room with the patient.

“You can actually hear the patient’s lungs breathing, as if they are right there with you,” he said.

Currently used by over 1,600 healthcare sites in the province, with this technology will be the first time tat hospices in Ottawa will connect to palliative care teams in acute care settings like hospitals.

This technology enables doctors, nurses and volunteers involved in palliative care to discuss complex issues and conduct clinical evaluations from a distance.

City and Colour named as new act for Folk Fest Sabine Gibbins

sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Folk Festival has signed a new headline act to replace Neil Young, who cancelled after his guitarist broke his hand.

Folk rock group City and Colour will perform on Sept. 4, the opening night of the music festival, which takes place at Hog’s Back Park.

Patti Smith and Her Band will also take centre stage that evening, said organizers.

“It’s definitely been a challenging week, but I’d say I’m very pleased that Dallas Green (City and Colour) could accommodate us on such short notice,” said festival spokesman Mark Monahan. “He’ll make a great opening night for the festival.”

Young cancelled the show after his guitarist, Frank “Poncho” Sampedro, broke his hand. Neil Young has also cancelled his other concert dates previously booked for his North American tour.

City and Colour is fronted by award-winning singer-songwriter Dallas Green, who has been making waves on the charts as a Canadian artist. Green has three Juno awards under his name, including two Songwriter of the Year awards (2009, 2012), and three platinum-selling albums.

Green’s latest and fourth studio album The Hurry and The Harm

debuted at number one on the Top200 SoundScan Chart in Canada last month.

It is City and Colour’s best-selling debut in Canada to date, outselling Little Hell, which also debuted at number one.

The Hurry and The Harm gained international attention as well, debuting at a career high number 16 in the U.S., number four in Australia, number 32 in the United Kingdom, and number 83 in Germany.

City and Colour’s last Canadian tour sold out in minutes and came on the heels of an international run with sold-out shows across North America and Europe including arena dates opening for P!NK in the U.S. and Biffy Clyro in the United Kingdom.

Day tickets for Sept. 4 will be available for purchase starting on Aug. 24 at 10 a.m. at all Ottawa Folk Festival Tickets outlets— as well as threeday passports, adult five-day festival passports, youth festival wristbands, and Folk Clubhouse passports.

Previous purchases of three-day passports, adult five-day festival passports, youth festival wristbands, and Folk Clubhouse passports are still valid for this date (Sept. 4).

Organizers will offer fans who previously purchased three-day passports, adult five-day festival passports, youth festival wristbands, and Folk Clubhouse passports before

Aug. 20 a $25 credit towards the purchase of their same event pass for 2014.

Green’s new touring band includes Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Dead Weather) on bass, Dante

Schwebel (Hacienda, Dan Auerbach) on guitar, Doug MacGregor (Constantines) on drums and Matt Kelly on pedal steel guitar and keys.

Other acts sure to draw a crowd at the Ottawa Folk Festival include

Vampire Weekend (Sept. 5), Kendrick Lamar (Sept. 6), The Avett Brothers (Sept. 7), and The Wailers (Sept. 8).

The festival runs over five days, from Sept. 4 to Sept. 8.

Parents still looking for their day in court Former school owners could be on hook for prepaid tuition amounts Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

NEW LIFE

Muhammad Nummer, of the Muslim Association of Canada confirmed via email that classes for the Abraar School should start at the new building in September. The private Islamic school is currently on Grenon Avenue. The Fieldrow campus will allow the school to double in size and offer grades 9 and 10 plus a youth centre, but it’s not clear which grades will be offered at the Fieldrow campus.

Sylvia Robbins, left, and Jackie Properzi are currently in the process of suing the De Mel family, former owners of the Tiny Tots Montessori day care and Canadian Montessori Academy. The former school building was sold on July 10 to cover debts.

Abraar was ranked the number one elementary school in Ottawa for 2013 according to the Fraser Report.

The school currently has a waiting list of more than 200 names of prospective students.

The administration managed to raise $600,000 towards the purchase of the Fieldrow campus with a massive garage sale in June.

Abraar has been operating in Ottawa for 10 years.

News - Parents who paid tuition to the now bankrupt Canadian Montessori Academy are still waiting for answers in the wake of the sale of the Fieldrow Street building in July.

Land Registry documents obtained by Metroland Media show the Muslim Association of Canada purchased the property for $2.7 million on July 10.

The purchase was to expand the capacity of a private Islamic school called Abraar School.

Canadian Montessori Academy was forced into bankruptcy because of mounting debts owed to the Business Development Bank of Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency and the City of Ottawa. The debts totalled close to $1.9 million in July 2012.

Jackie Properzi, the parent of a former student of the associated daycare – Tiny Tots Montessori – is personally seeking $25,000 in prepaid tuition and damages in a small claims suit against the onetime owners. The de Mel family, Sherie, Lester and Sabena –are being sued by three sepa-

rate sets of parents for tuition and other damages.

Properzi, whose then twoyear-old son Nico was expelled when she began questioning the financial solvency of CMA, was the first of a trio of parents to be heard in small claims court.

The case was set to be heard on July 20, but was adjourned until November due to health problems with one of the defendants.

Rod Vanier, who represented the de Mel family for the adjournment, hinted at a surplus from the sale of the school building which could be used to repay some tuition amounts already paid. But the final number and when that will happen remains unclear.

Chris Mazur, a vice-president of BDO Canada Ltd., said there should be answers in the next month.

“We have to do a final accounting and look at the utility bills before we know how much we have to work with,” Mazur said, referring to the amount left over after the secured creditors are paid.

In the court documents approving the sale, the Business Development Bank of Canada is awarded $863,535.

The City of Ottawa is to

be awarded $682,533 in back taxes and the Canada Revenue Agency is awarded three separate amounts totaling nearly $400,000.

The secured creditors get paid first and then each family owed money will get a share of whatever is left over. École Ibn Batouta – a francophone Islamic school owned by the World Somali Congress – entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BDO in September 2012, but owners were unable to come up with a down payment on the property.

The school instead leased the building at 70 Fieldrow Street for the 2012-13 school year.

Mazur said the lease payments were to be part of the funds used to pay off creditors.

“It all goes into the same pot,” he said.

Remote controlled copter chasing geese from Petrie Island Councillor finds unique aerial deterrent Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Community - Geese have been a long-time problem at the Petrie Island beach. More specifically, the byproduct: poop.

According to Steve Wambolt, who has been hired to clear the birds from the area six days a week, a goose can produce up to 1.5 kilograms of feces a day.

Besides being generally unpleasant, all that waste can carry e.coli which can contaminate the water and make it unsafe for swimming.

This year, a new technology is being used to try and deter the geese from coming to the Petrie Island beach. A remote control hexacopter – similar to a helicopter – is flying near the geese while making noises similar to predators geese face.

Wambolt comes to Petrie Island six days a week, as early as 4 a.m., to fly the hexacopter at the geese.

The aircraft is about the size of a medium pizza.

He comes back later in the day to fly it again at any more geese or sea gulls.

Originally, Wambolt had a totally different idea for his hexacopter when he approached his city councillor, Bob Monette, about it.

With attached cameras, he was interested in providing aerial photography for city projects.

Instead, he was asked how low the remote controlled, battery-oper-

ated copters could fly.

“I can’t believe it, this guy goes, ‘How low can it fly?’” Wambolt said. “It’s just ridiculous to chase a goose with an aircraft.”

But he was able to get the proper permits from Transport Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Service to enter into a $30,000 contract with the city.

The contract started in late July and will run until late October.

Wambolt tried out the method at local golf courses to make sure that it would get the geese to go away.

“Every day there are some geese, but Steven is here around 4:30 in the morning to clear them out,” Monette said. “We were only closed one day this year after he started.”

Monette said he hopes the geese will eventually stop coming to the area.

This is a different method than others that have been tried – such as dogs who chase the geese away – because it challenges the geese even while airborne. The hexacopter also makes noises similar to predators that geese might face.

Monette added that the program may expand to other city beaches next year.

Petrie Island beach lifeguards are off-duty for the season, but people are still able to come and swim independently, he said.

The ideal situation would see the geese relocate to a quieter rural area, Wambolt said.

Toys teach problem solving skills

R0012264113

Encouraging the use of creative activities and games that challenge your children to think outside the box and build their problem solving skills at an early age will help encourage them to become independent thinkers and problem solvers -- skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

Giving your child simple games such as building blocks that require identifying different shapes is a great way to start building problem solving skills.

For older children, more challenging games may be required to build their problem solving abilities and their confidence in taking on greater challenges.

One new game that has caught the attention of educators and parents alike is the new Perplexus 3D game maze by Plasmart Inc.

44 West Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, August 29, 2013 44 Carleton Review EMCEMC - Thursday, August 29, 2013

This is a 3-dimensional maze game where players manoeuvre a small marble around challenging barriers inside a large-sized transparent sphere.

Unlike traditional flat-surface mazes that are composed of one path, Perplexus challenges players’ problem solving abilities with numerous paths to choose from and hundreds of barriers to overcome. Players can race each other or the clock.

In addition to being an entertaining game, it’s a valuable tool for cognitive development, encouraging children to exercise their problemsolving, motor and dexterity skills, as well as improving their hand-eye coordination.

Experts say the game is just as challenging for adults as it is for children and will especially keep parent solving skills sharp as well.

Know the symptoms of ADHD

Lifestyle - Only specialists can diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD. Before any kind of diagnosis, a specialist, such as a psychiatrist, neurologist or pediatrician must first ensure that the hyperactivity is not a manifestation of trauma or any other type of disturbance. If parents suspect that a child has ADHD, they should be very careful about jumping to conclusions.

Children suffering from ADHD can present different symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity or impulsiveness.

• Inattention: children cannot stay focused on what they are doing; they are easily distracted, don’t seem to listen, have difficulty getting themselves organized, often lose items and do not follow instructions.

• Hyperactivity: children have difficulty sitting still and move constantly, talk a lot, run or SUBMITTED climb at inopportune moments and are incapaTo renew your family’s style, rely on a few basics. Well-chosen, good quality clothes last ble of playing quietly.

• Impulsiveness: children interrupt others, longer and can be easily coordinated with other items. have difficulty waiting their turn and tend to touch everything.

Certainly, all children demonstrate one or another of these types of behaviour when they are tired or excited. However children suffering from ADHD will exhibit several of these symptoms in an ongoing and excessive manner, at

Renew your family’s wardrobe the economical way Lifestyle - Fall can be an expensive time of year. Back to school fashions and cool weather requirements mean stocking up the wardrobe.

To keep things fresh and interesting for your children, all while taking care of your budget, be a resourceful shopper.

First of all, check to see what you can keep for another fall before you replace everything, especially fall jackets, hat and mitt sets, and sweaters.

Stylists suggest taking a good look at summer clothes before putting them away until next year. Some summer items are suitable for coordinating with fall clothing. Belts or accessories, for example, can be worn with warmer textured, winter fabrics.

For a fall look that makes sense, keep it to 30 percent light, colourful, or flowered items for 70 percent of winter clothes.

Before hitting the stores, make a list of the key clothing items you will need. These can be

used as basics that can be coordinated with just about anything else.

Staples for your family’s wardrobe might include a well-cut black jacket for teenage boys, neutral coloured pants for little boys, and allpurpose grey leggings for little girls.

Closets should only contain a limited number of flamboyant, multicoloured items, as such styles quickly become outmoded or their owners soon tire of them.

Don’t be shy about asking family and friends if they have hand-me-downs in good shape for your children.

It’s a great way to recycle, and it’s easy on the wallet.

Likewise, if your closets contain clothes that are past their best, taking them to a dressmaker might give them new life.

And those items that no longer suit your needs or sizes can be brought to a local used clothing store for resale or for fabric recycling.

Changing schools smoothly 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.

Lifestyle - The purchase of a backpack at the beginning of a new school year is an important one.

When kids tote books and gear back and forth from school, their backs can suffer the consequences, including muscle strain that induces headaches and sore necks.

Here are a few rules to follow to help your child avoid backpack-related health problems.

The quality of the backpack is much more important than a fashionable brand name.

Backpacks have to be replaced often because of the changing size of their owners, and since they will likely only be used for a year or two, there’s no need to pay astronomical prices.

Make sure your child’s backpack is the appropriate size for their height.

It shouldn’t exceed the width of the child’s back, nor the height of the shoulders.

Packs that are too big can cause back problems because of improper distribution of weight through the straps.

Even for an older child, accompany him to choose a backpack so you can make sure it fits.

The backpack must be well-adjusted, fitting closely to the child’s back.

It should be attached high on the shoulders and be equipped with padded straps large enough to spread the weight evenly.

In addition, the straps should always be easy to adjust.

If the bag has plenty of compartments, your child will be able to spread the weight evenly throughout the backpack and reduce discomfort in the back and shoulders.

The most important thing is to not overload the backpack, which should only be used to carry essential items back and forth to school.

Smile!

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.

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.

As your child’s first ever day at school approaches, try not to be overwhelmed .

Drugs and school don’t mix Lifestyle - At the beginning of a new school year, all parents of teenagers worry that their children will start hanging around with a new group of friends and get involved with drugs.

Here are a few signs and symptoms: • New friendships, dropping marks, and frequent absences from school.

• More secretive behaviour about their pos-

sessions, activities, or movements.

• Changes of clothing style and the wearing of clothes that evoke the drug culture.

• The use of incense or deodorizing products, which are often used to camouflage suspicious odours.

• Consistent demands for more pocket money than usual.

• Disappearing medications from the medicine cabinet and the frequent use of eye drops, which are often used to conceal red eyes or dilated pupils.

Have a frank conversation with your child if you’ve noticed one or more of these signs. Tell him or her about what you’ve noticed and ask for an explanation for the changes in behaviour and habits.

It is also acceptable to meet with the principal and school counsellor as well as your family doctor.

BACK TO SCHOOL & 2013 FALL REGISTRATION How to help Brain exercises help develop more brain power rejected children Lifestyle - Maintaining concentration and keeping the memory sharp are a daily challenge for students.

Fortunately, brain power is supple and can be developed by exercising it.

HERE ARE A FEW TIPS THAT CAN FACILITATE LEARNING AND REMEMBERING:

1. Good posture. Sit comfortably, with back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. Avoid crossing your legs or, even worse, slumping over your desk.

2. Relax: inhaling and exhaling deeply through the nose allows you to relax and increase your level of concentration.

3. Choose to be attentive: be curious about what the

of voice while reading aloud stimulates different 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.

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.

teacher may have to say; don’t let yourself be distracted and ask questions.

4. Take notes: as well as facilitating memorization, note-taking doesn’t leave room for day dreaming. It helps you stay alert and focused.

5. Explain things to yourself or to someone else: read over your notes, then hide them and explain out loud what you’ve just read.

6. Use your imagination: who says studying has to be boring?

Caution: School is in session

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.

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 rumours about someone.

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

Children and the Web 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 cyberbullying and cyber predators.

Prudence is just as necessary on the Web as it is elsewhere.

How to live with your teen’s look 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 difďŹ cult to ďŹ nd 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 conicts 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 aunt 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 outďŹ t 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 leave the door open for other compromises.

After all, who’s never upset their parents with some unconventional clothing?

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.

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.

Howard Richmond makes court appearance Joe Lofaro

Metro news

A Canadian soldier accused of first-degree murder in the death of his 28-year-old wife, Melissa Richmond, made a brief court appearance by video link Aug. 20 at

the Ottawa courthouse.

An unshaven Howard Richmond, 50, spoke briefly with his legal counsel before the court scheduled his next appearance for Sept. 27.

Defence lawyer Joseph Addelman said he is awaiting more disclosure from the Crown attorney before he

can submit a bail application for his client. Richmond’s body was found in a ravine in South Keys July 28 after her husband reported her missing four days earlier.

A friend of the Winchester couple said they were married for eight years.

Howard Richmond, who has been charged with the murder of his wife Melissa, left, will next appear in court on Sept. 27.

Callahan Estates: The ABC’s (Arnprior’s Best Community)

by Campanale Homes

On a recent sun-filled Saturday summer morning, Vince Campanale, VicePresident of Campanale Homes welcomed guests and visitors to the grand opening of his company’s latest community, Callahan Estates in Arnprior.

Mayor David Reid, Reeve Walter Stack and Councillors Lynn Grinstead and Dan Lynch were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and all were more than suitably impressed with the model units and the neighbourhood’s plan.

Vince, having been in home building with his brothers for over 30 years in the region, knows full well what today’s buyers are looking for, and with Callahan estates it’s as easy as A, B, C. A Means accessibility to employment centres and amenities which is a crucial feature to all home buyers and Callahan Estates delivers. With the completion of a well executed and high capacity four-lane highway from Ottawa, Arnprior is now reached by a very minor and safe commute in any season, and without traffic congestion. The numerous shopping and dining areas on Daniel Street are only a short walk away with unheard of safe pedestrian access along tree-lined streets with appropriate traffic lane separation. Quality schools are also on the top of discerning buyers’ lists and Callahan Estates is conveniently located within a few minutes stroll of two award-winning and well-respected public centres of learning.

B Stands for Builders, and Campanale has a track record that is hard to beat.

They are responsible for some of the region’s most desirable communities, including the award-winning Prince of Wales on the Rideau, Riverwood Estates in Arnprior, The Hunt Club Classics, the Forest of Carson Village, The Gates of Longfields, and Woodroffe Walk, just to name a few. Campanale family values, based on integrity and responsiveness to their clients, and can be seen, touched, felt, and experienced in every square foot of each residence they create. Vince and his entire team of professionals never lose sight of the fact that they are helping to provide families with more than just shelter, but also safe and nurturing places to grow.

C Is for community, and Callahan Estates has been planned to honor the memory and namesakes of the property’s original owner with homes that are affordable to the average family or couple. From executive townhomes starting in the low $200’s to well-equipped single’s in the mid $300’s, Campanale Homes has everyone in mind with this uniquely inclusive community.

To those just starting out, having mortgage payments lower than monthly rent charges means getting the benefit of property ownership without sacrificing their day-to-day budget. When families grow and more room is needed, beautifully appointed and well laid out semis and detached homes are located in the same community, avoiding the disruption of moving to another town or neighbourhood. Even empty-nesters will find just the right home with the carefully thought out floor plans that give a warm living space without the burden of over-sized property maintenance and upkeep.

With Campanale Homes, attention to detail is everything, as they know that building it right means building it to last. Brick and stone exterior treatments, real wood cupboards, doors, and trim, natural and man-made stone countertops, ceramic tile, quality fixtures and hardwood floors will stand up to, not only everyday traffic, but anything a busy family can dish out. Having the resources of a dedicated design centre, means Campanale home buyers can express their own tastes and values in a very personal way through easyto-arrange custom touches that won’t break the bank. At Vince stated at the grand opening, “We wanted to raise the bar in quality homes to show our family of clients they don’t have to settle for less.”

Of course the only things buyers will have do with less of are mortgage payments, property taxes, and the stress of simply making a living rather than living a real life of family and community. Mayor David Reid was quick to point out the wide and varied array of recreational, educational and employment opportunities his town has developed over the last number of years, to the point where children of current residents are looking to settle on site, rather than relocate out of the area.

With Callahan Estates, Vince Campanale and his very dedicated team have created a true community that will thrive with diversity and grow as rich as the farmlands of the Ottawa Valley.

The sales centre at Callahan Estates, located at the end of Edey Street; just off Daniel Street in Arnprior at is open Monday – Thursday from 11am-7pm and Saturday, Sunday & Holiday from 12pm-5pm. You can call 613-622-0033 or log onto www.campanale.com.

News - A Barrhaven teen decided to take a trek on the Rideau Trail to help provide school children in Kenya with better access to clean drinking water.

Paul Newcombe, 16, a student at St. Joseph Catholic High School, picked out the project after returning from building a house in Mexico this winter. He then enlisted the aid of friends Colin and Peter Snider.

“He’s always liked hiking the Rideau Trail near our house, so when he realized it went all the way to Kingston, he decided it would make a good adventure,” said Carolyn Newcombe, Paul’s mother.

The trail is 325 kilometres long and is very rough going at times, said Peter Snider, who’s a Perth native and a student at Nipissing University.

Paul wanted to combine his love of the outdoors and community involvement. It took the trio a few tries to find a charity that worked for them.

They settled on a WaterCan project called Long Walk for Water. It helps provide 1,000 school children at Kabete Vetlabd Primary School in Nairobi, Kenya, with better access to clean water.

According to WaterCan the government funded school is in a slum area on the periphery of the city. There are often 60 students in each class and a lack of proper washrooms and adequate sanitation.

The group raised funds to connect the school to a sufficient supply of city water, install cisterns to store water in preparation for when city shuts off supply in the hot summers and connection to the city’s sewer system.

“It was rough going,” Paul said.

“We would start at 5:30 a.m. and walk until it got dark.

Then we would rest and light our campfire,” he said. They would wait until dark to make camp, sometimes travelling for 10 to 12 hours per day.

“There were some spots where the trail was overgrown and we had to climb over logs and other vegetation,” Paul said.

Each of the trio carried a 13kilogram pack with supplies like food, tents and clothing.

“I think if we could do it again we would give ourselves more than nine days,” Peter said on the last day of the trek.

The fundraising effort, which started in March netted nearly $6,500.

“We were quite happy with that. Our goal was $5,000,” Paul said.

Double lung transplant recipient Hélène Campbell is working with local realtors Mary, Frank and Travis DeFranco to establish a Lung Run, set to take place in Barrhaven on Oct. 5.

Lung run set to raise funds for organ donation programs Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Those in need of organ donations may breathe a little easier after the inaugural lung run planned for Barrhaven on Oct. 5.

A trio of local realtors – Mary, Travis and Frank DeFranco – approached double lung transplant recipient Hélène Campbell about the possibility of a fundraising run, with proceeds going to her Give2Live campaign.The campaign aims to raise $300,000 for the Transplant Patient and Family Support Fund at Toronto General Hospital. The money will help support basic living expenses like food, accommodations, medical equipment needs and travel to medical appointments.Campbell received her new lungs in April 2012, after spending several months living in Toronto awaiting the surgery that would give her a new lease on life.

The Give2Live website estimates that $300,000 will help 30 families while they are wait-

ing for transplants – that’s an average out-of-pocket expense of $10,000.

“The story doesn’t end because I have my lungs,” Campbell said. “Anyone who has to go through the healthcare system unexpectedly can relate to what we are doing.”

The lung run will be divided into 10-and five-kilometre timed runs, along with a 2.5kilometre fun run Campbell plans to participate in.

She said if she can do it, anyone can.

“I am not the most disciplined on the training, but I am trying my best,” she said.

Campbell’s spirits are up, despite being hospitalized this summer because of heat stroke and a virus. She said considers herself lucky because what she thought might be a collapsed lung, turned out to be a pulled muscle.

“I have been having a good summer, just enjoying my time,” Campbell said, adding she’s focused on her health.

Events like the Lung Run focus on community and health,

something everything should be talking about, Campbell said.

“There are a lot of runners in Barrhaven,” she said. “It’s a great way to get people together.”

Mary DeFranco said the family has a history of fundraising, and has an annual community fun day in the area. The family also has participated in a number of runs.

“We are a running family, so this just seemed a logical step,” Mary said.

Campbell said organizers are still looking for volunteers if running isn’t their thing.

The fun run, which will take a circular route around Mountshannon and Longfields drives, costs $25 to enter. The five-kilometre timed run starts at St. Andrew Catholic School on Longfields Drive, before looping up Clairidge Drive and Woodroffe Avenue. The cost to register is $35. The 10-kilometre run is an expansion of the same route and costs $45 to enter. For more information, visit www.alungrun.com.
