Project to help others grows in Kanata Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ryan Slater has learned how lucky he is since he started his giving back project in March 2015. The 10-year-old, who lives in Glen Cairn, has learned about all different types of people during his project, which has seen him collect towels, food and school supplies for donation to the Ottawa Mission and the Kanata

Food Cupboard. “I learned that they help people out who can’t put food on the table,” he said. “Before, I didn’t even realize there were houses who couldn’t do that.” Ryan joined a social justice club at St. Martin de Porres Elementary School last year, and a teacher took the students to We Day.

prospective clients a chance to meet its staff of NHL alumni and tour the building. “It’s a synthetic ice and there are different training stations that are in there so it’ll be an opportunity to go and see what the facility has,” said Rink Eye spokesperson Cindy Cutts. “It’s a good chance to showcase all the things that are going to be available to the public.”

mdelaire@metroland.com

Cutts said that Ottawa Senators alumni Shean Donovan, Todd White, Radek Bonk and Rink Eye founder Randy Robataille are scheduled to attend the opening and that, for a fee, anyone can soak a former NHL player by scoring on a hockey puck-activated dunk tank. Organizers have also planned a barbeque, 50/50 draw and attractions for children. Funds raised by food and 50/50 ticket sales will go to the event’s official charitable partner Proud to be Me. The not-for-profit organization addresses issues from PTSD in veterans – working with the Canadian Canine Training Academy to raise funds to train companion dogs for soldiers with PTSD – to underfunded school programs and bullying management. In addition to working with Rink Eye, Cutts is the spokesperson for Proud to be Me, which she founded in 2011. “We do an annual dinner, which we’ve sold out every year, and the past four years we’ve raised about $78,000 for local schools and programs that receive no funding right now.” Proud to be Me works with Ottawa area schools on a case by case basis, assessing the needs of each school. The organization supplied utensils for

lessons after school to keep them off the streets from 4 to 6 p.m.,” she said. Cutts said support from Rink Eye for Proud to be Me is just the most recent act of charity from the local hockey community that has continually supported the organization. “I’m super honoured to have them choose us,” she said. “The hockey community has been great for Proud to Be Me. So having them kind of choose us and ask us to be a part of it was a great honour and I’m just happy to help support them.” Rink Eye was founded by Robitaille – a former Senator player with 15 years’ experience in the NHL – to help develop the skills and professional attitudes of players in Ottawa. Among the centre’s coaching staff are former NHL players Fred Brathwaite, Dan Mcgillis, Matt Bradley and Robitaille. In addition to a synthetic ice rink, staff will coach clients using a virtual simulator, a stick handling area with timed courses and six different shooting stations including radar, tic-tac-toe and heavy puck shooting stations. The centre’s grand opening will be held at Rink Eye’s Kanata facility – 50 Frank Nighbor place – on Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Training programs will begin on Sept. 13.

More projects on horizon for 10-year-old Ryan said the day, which gathers students to talk about volunteering and community activism, lit a spark that made him want to do his part to help out. Ryan came home and told his mom Sheri he wanted to do something to help others in the community. She came up with a few suggestions, and he decided to help the Ottawa Mission. Staff there told the family they were in need of gently-used and new towels, so Ryan decided to aim to collect 50. Sheri made him a Facebook page, where he posted about what he wanted to do and asked friends and family to help. “At first it was just friends and family. And then they invited their friends and family. And they invited their friends and family,” Ryan said. “It sort of snowballed.” He beat his goal and collected

215 towels, which he piled in stacks that reached the ceiling of the living room in his house, which serves as home base and the drop-off location for donations. He loaded up the towels with help from his family, who helped him with his project. Ryan then decided to help a little closer to home, and collected granola bars to donate to the Kanata Food Cupboard. The group of people donating to him grew as more people heard about his Facebook page. He’s currently collecting donations for his third project: school supplies to be distributed by the Kanata Food Cupboard to local youth. “I hope it will make them be able to have a better education and be able to get all their notes written down,” Ryan said, adding that he would feel bad if he had to sit in class without the supplies on the list on the first day of school. “I’d feel guilty.”

The living room is again filled with donations, as residents have been dropping off donations for Ryan’s project. He also goes out with Sheri in the evenings to collect donations. He said she serves as the “manager” of his project, while dad Scott and his 14-year-old brother Jack are the muscle behind the donation collection and delivery. Ryan doesn’t have a set goal for the number of binders, pencils or packs of paper he’s collecting this time around, and is just trying to bring as many donations as possible to the food cupboard before local students head back to school. It won’t be the last project for Ryan, who is thinking about a toy collection or winter jacket collection to help the community next. “It’s sort of like after you go skiing down a big mountain, and you don’t fall or hurt yourself.

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Ryan Slater, 10, unpacks some of the school supplies that have been donated to his collection. He will drop off the supplies to the Kanata Food Cupboard for local youth who are in need.

SCHOOL SAFETY FOCUS

Ottawa police will focus on school bus and school safety zones, as well as seatbelt use, for the month of September as part of the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). “Between 2009 and 2013, there were 29 collisions resulting in five injuries involving school buses or occurring in school zones,” said police in a news release. During the same time frame, “there were 183 collisions involving the lack of, or improper use of, vehicle occupant restraints resulting in 18 fatalities and 183 injuries,” said police. Ottawa police remind motorists and pedestrians to be aware of the increase of children and youth on the streets and offer the following safety tips: • Reduce speeds in school

The first day of school is quickly approaching and that means yellow school buses and commuting students on the roads. With more traffic and children walking to and from school, Ottawa police Const. Arun Daniels reminds motorists to be cautious when driving, especially around school zones. “If there is a kid on the sidewalk approaching an intersection, be thinking, ‘Well is this kid going to cross the street, are they going to be looking?’ This individual may not stop and look,” said Daniels. “Motorists paying attention to the speed limits, paying attention to what’s going on around them, that’s obviously important. It comes largely down to an awareness thing – driving in a defensive manor, being prepared.” Drivers should also be aware that their commute times may be affected by yellow school buses and plan accordingly, said Daniels. Drivers can be fined between $400 and $2,000 and lose six demerit points if their vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE LEMIEUX ISLAND WPP INTAKE IMPROVEMENTS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 Time: 4 – 6 p.m. Location: La Salle Secondary School – Cafeteria 773 Highway 15, Ottawa The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water PuriďŹ cation Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the ow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or signiďŹ cantly restricted plant ows, which put the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). The ďŹ nal deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be ďŹ led and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion. Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. The purpose of this upcoming Public Information Centre is to present the draft recommendation for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. Residents and other interested parties are invited to drop-in anytime during the Public Information Centre for the opportunity for further information about the project and the Environmental Assessment process. Staff from the City and the consulting team will be available to explain the project and answer questions. Project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website (http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/publicconsultations). A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project. Comments are welcome at any time during the study. For further information, contact: Tebogo Mabote, P. Eng.

‘MOST WANTED’

Skinner and the two university students who have been developing the technology for the police service on a volunteer basis have taken the hack into consideration to make the product stronger. In addition to enhanced se-

curity protocols, the new and updated apps will see some brand new features, including a photo gallery of “most wanted� suspects. “It’s something that’s going to help solve cases,� said Skinner, a 21-year Ottawa police veteran who worked for 16 years as an investigator and several years on patrol before taking on his current role of overseeing the community police officers in West Division. “As they’re scrolling the picture gallery, we may have success – not only an ‘Oh, I know this person,’ but the possibility exists for them to be like, ‘Oh my God, there he is,’� he said. “People are constantly on their phones. If we increase the number of hits (to the photos), logically you’re going to increase the likelihood of getting a positive identification in some of these galleries.� App users can then choose from any number of crime-reporting options available right at their fingertips, including punching the app’s 911 emergency call button or submitting an anonymous tip that goes to Crime Stoppers. The app features eight buttons directing users to news, crime prevention information, a collision toolkit, different methods to report a crime, a map detailing traffic disruptions, station locations as well as crime map data.

phone users, more than a year after a free iOS app for iPhone and iPad users was unveiled in May 2014. The Android app, as well as a new, updated version of the Apple app, are expected to be available for free downloading by the end of September. “We had hoped to have it launched in time for Police Week this past May,� said Kanata-based acting Staff Sgt. Anthony Skinner, who initially came up with the idea for the first app in early 2013. The police department is still waiting for the security strength of the new Android app to receive the green light before going live – a measure that was prompted after the City of Ottawa’s website was hacked last year. That attack affected the traffic-routing map on the police app since it was linked to the city’s website. “As a result of that, we’ve had intermittent connectibility,� Skinner said. “We’ve had to sort of monitor that very carefully.�

It’s handy for checking in to see if a driving route is clear of accidents and hopefully serves as a convenient option for people who may otherwise not take the time to report a non-life-threatening incident, such as a car being broken into, Skinner said. He added that it’s important to report these crimes, so that police can better track incidents and trends. When he first realized the police service didn’t have an app, he wanted to make one, even though he had never before built one. He essentially had to start from scratch. At the time, there were no police organizations in North America running an app that didn’t just mirror a police service’s website. “So this is something that we’ve been able to build and to use to connect with our customer base, to build trust, to build that relationship, to give them the information of what’s going on,� Skinner said. Since it first became available, the iPhone app has been downloaded 5,700 times. An estimated 75 to 85 per cent of people today have smartphones, said Skinner. Of those, more than 80 per cent want to search websites and do computer-related tasks on their phones. “If that’s where they want (the information), well, we have to be able, as a service, to deliver the information we want their help with,� he said.

Three years in and Aperitivo still a joy: owner john.curry@metroland.com

Working in the high tech industry, Sean McCoy hated going to work every day. Now, completing three years owning and operating a restaurant, his attitude about work is totally the opposite. “I love coming into work every day,” the Stittsville resident as he sits in his restaurant Aperitivo, located in the City Walk area of the Kanata Centrum shopping area in Kanata, across from the Landmark Cinemas. It’s not a large restaurant, seating about 44 inside and another 20 on the outside patio, but it has been successful because of its food. There nothing similar foodwise in Kanata, McCoy says, praising the creativity and passion of his staff. The menu at Aperitivo changes every two months but the kitchen staff has embraced these regular changes and enjoys making them. When McCoy opened Aperitivo, he wanted the cuisine to be Mediterranean driven. Indeed, the name of the restaurant Aperitivo generates thoughts of Spanish, Italian and Portugese dining, opening up the palate to flavours often associated with those countries. Some of the best food in the world can be found in the Mediterranean countries like Italy and France, so why not aspire to provide such food, McCoy’s thinking went. Besides, his wife Jessica, whom he credits with being the pillar of support that has made his restaurant venture possible, is Italian – another

reason to feature such food on the menu. McCoy was fortunate in that when he took over the previous restaurant at this site, purchasing it out of bankruptcy, three key staff members remained and are still with him. This is the chef, the sous chef and the front of house manager. And, with limited resources since opening the business, he has not done any advertising and has very little social media presence. He readily admits that “word of mouth” has been key to the restaurant’s success, praising his kitchen staff and his service staff for their stellar work that keeps people coming back and that keeps them talking to others about the place. McCoy purchases as much as he can from Ivan’s Meats and Deli in Stittsville as he believes in using local suppliers when possible. As another example, he gets his cheeses from Grace in the Kitchen on Hazeldean Road in Kanata. McCoy admits that this restaurant location had fallen into his lap a little more than three years ago with the existing restaurant at the site going bankrupt. It came at just the right time as he had been looking to make a change in his life, perhaps going back to school. He had worked in restaurants when younger, giving him some confidence about entering the business. But the attraction of being his own boss, combined with the support of his wife who was pregnant at the time, convinced him to take the plunge into the restaurant business. He wanted to make this

switch in his life while he was still young, so that the initial hard work would be over when children were older. For the first two years of the restaurant’s life, McCoy was on the premises a lot, perhaps getting one day off a week and sometimes having no days off in a week. Now, though, the core staff is in place and he trusts his restaurant team, so he is now trying to take off two days a week plus Sundays if possible. He views his main roles now as looking after the business side of things, making sure staff

are happy and ensuring customer satisfaction. As for advice that he might offer to someone else who might want to get into the restaurant business, McCoy says that having a mentor is desirable, someone in the industry whom you can bounce ideas off of. He also says that you should make sure that you have a good chef because, at the end of the day, people patronize a restaurant because of its food. Combine good food with personable service and people will come back, he says.

Aperitivo is open seven days a week from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. BIRTHDAY PARTY

On Sunday, Sept. 13, Aperitivo is holding a third birthday celebration by hosting a cocktail party in support of Roger’s House and Tysen’s Mission To A Million for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. McCoy says that deciding

to direct all proceeds from the event to Roger’s House and Tysen’s campaign was a no brainer since both recipients do good work helping local children. There is a $20 cover charge to attend this birthday celebration, with all of the money going to the two recipients. Those planning on attending this birthday celebration should RSVP to aperitivokanata@live. com. R0013118063-0205

Parks deserve our full attention

A

piecemeal process to fund new parks – and improvements in existing parks – is being considered by the city. And that’s a mistake. Parks benefit everyone. You may not use a park on the other side of the city, but all Ottawans deserve some greenspace. The city should act like we are one community and think big, not parochially. When a developer builds new homes, they pitch in development fees towards new local parks. If there is no space for a park, the developer pays cash-in-lieu of parkland. The city’s planning committee made a mistake when it suggested some of that cash-in-lieu should be used for life-cycle repairs in parks. City council should dump the idea and pay for park maintenance from a central annual budget. If the development fees are used to maintain an existing park, then we all lose out on new space or new amenities. The slippery slope ends with the real maintenance budget being reduced so development fees can pay the cost.

Council is elected to decide priorities. Simply shifting money between silos is a recipe for fewer and poorer parks in the long run. Real games in real parks are a good thing. A shell game isn’t appreciated. The mayor and the rest of council should set aside money in the annual budget that ensures parks are well kept and suitably equipped for the residents in the neighbourhood. That’s worked up to now, so why take a chance on creating a second tier of funding and potentially a system of parks with different levels of upkeep depending on which ward they are located within? At the same time, council should tackle the issue of “promotional� plaques. It is a mistake to allow elected public officials to erect any commemorative item bearing their own name. They are already paid to do the job of councillor or mayor, and any money “they� pay to have their name engraved on a city asset is really taxpayers’ money. If there’s a good place to spend money, it’s on parks. But the last thing a penny should be spent on is a plaque telling us who signed the cheque.

Champions of summer

B

aseball in Ottawa has had its ups and downs – the uppest being when the Ottawa Lynx, playing before the largest crowds in the league, won the International League championship in 1995; the downest being when the Ottawa Rapidz folded and the stadium on Coventry Road was empty for the 2009 season. It is difficult to predict how potential fans will behave in this city. People have gone broke trying. Back in the ’90s, Lynx games were the place to be. Everybody you knew was there. Then, all of a sudden, it all vanished. There are many explanations having to do with major league affiliation, the parking, the location, miserable spring weather, various ownership decisions. But it boils

Winnipeg Goldeyes that drew 10,000 people. In terms of the product on the field, as teams are sometimes called by accountants, there is no reason why the Champions should not be a huge success next year. It’s good ball they play – making all the routine plays smoothly and making the difficult ones too. In one game I saw the right fielder doubling the runner off first after catching a line drive, the catcher gunning a runner down at second trying to steal. They beat out a beautiful bunt single down the first base line. And the opposing right fielder made a magnificent throw to gun down an Ottawa at home plate. The pitching on both sides was strong, the umpiring was professional. And good things were happening off the field too.

The food was all right, the parking fine. A nice touch was the late-inning garbage pickup: environmentally conscious fans walked considerable distances in the stadium to present their debris to the guy with a big garbage bag. The 50-50 draw was popular. Later in the season were such events as the ice bucket challenge, kids getting to run the bases and get autographed balls from the players. I could do without the playing of Sweet Caroline in the eighth inning, an imitation of something done at Fenway Park. And I think YMCA has had its day. Judging by the scarcity of people dancing to it, the fans are now unresponsive to it too. Something CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES:

Getting back to the back-to-school routine

P

arents are in two camps about the return to school. Some are happy to be relieved of kids’ boredom or the expense of summer camp. Others are reluctant to get back into the fall routine, which means the inevitability that winter is around the corner. I’m on the fence. On the one hand, my kids had a fantastic summer, which makes me happy they’ll go back to school refreshed with minds open to learn. Between organized camps and family camping, they spent six of their 10.5-week vacation outdoors entirely. On the other hand, the inevitability of the harsh return to early bedtimes, early mornings, everyone rushing out the door in a tizzy and the general labour required to maintain the school year routine is making me feel like I need a vacation already. Things typically go better when we have a routine that’s sustainable. I’m not great at systems, but

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse we have a couple of things that work well to keep us on track. Unless you like crazy sock day, make sure all kids have the same white socks that can be easily matched. I don’t know why socks disappear, but they do. I can’t tell you how many morning arguments could have been avoided had we not had an, “I can’t find my sock” meltdown five minutes before the bus. Pack lunches the night before. It’s hard and it sucks to make lunches after a long work day, after dinner, when all you want to do is shout at the kids to go to bed for the 11th time so

you can settle into a good book or primetime or a cocktail. I hate it too, which is why I try to get the kids to do it themselves. When our routine is working, the kids pack their own lunch for the next day when they get home from school. They don’t have to search for containers – they wash the one from that day and reuse it—and when they make their own lunches, they’re less likely to complain about the contents. Minimize the wardrobe. My kids have a few uniform Tshirts each. They will be issued a couple of pairs of trousers, a week’s worth of underwear

What you need to vote Staff

As Canadians head to the polls on Oct. 19, make sure you’re prepared to cast your ballot with the proper identification at the right spot. If you’ve moved recently you’ll need to update your address, and if you’re a first-time voter you’ll need to register. Check your registration status, update your address and find your polling station at elections.ca. STUDENTS

Student voters can choose to vote in their “home” riding – where they live when they’re not at school – or the riding of their school residence. If voting at school, you’ll need to bring an official document with your local address on it, as well as photo ID, if it isn’t updated with your school address. Utility bills, letters of admission or a lease agreement will all work. If you live on campus in a residence, you

might need an administrator to fill out a form attesting to your address – find the form at elections.ca.

niors’ residence or long-term care facility.

ID OPTIONS

If you do not have photo ID or proof of address, you’ll need to bring two official documents with your name on them, as well as someone who knows you who can attest to where you live. This person must show identification and live in the same polling division.

If your photo ID doesn’t have your current address, check out elections.ca for a complete list of alternative documents that can help you identify yourself. Here are some of the more common documents you can bring to the polling station: • health card, Canadian passport, citizenship card/certificate or birth certificate • utility bill, bank statement or personal cheque • government cheque or income tax assessment • lease or mortgage contract • credit or debit card • employee or student card • Indian status or band membership card • letter of confirmation of residence or admission form from a student residence, se-

PROOF OF ADDRESS

VOTING DAY

Polls will be open for 12 hours on Oct. 19, and there are four advance polls open Oct. 9 to 12 from noon to 8 p.m. Your advance polling station may be different than your election day station, so check your voter information card or elections.ca. You can also vote at an Elections Canada office by Oct. 13, or mail in your vote. The deadline to apply to mail your vote is Oct. 13.

and two weeks’ worth of socks (sports make for stinky feet), and it’s their jobs to get them into the washing machine and out again. Find a way to keep the school paper sorted. This is the most dreaded thing about the school year – all the communication that comes via paper. September is the worst, with permission forms and demands for money, pizza lunches, open houses, school board meetings and homework expectations. Frankly, I’d like to shred it the moment it comes in the door, but it must be prioritized, which means an inbox is re-

quired on the kitchen counter. Wind back the kids’ bedtimes. My children are already complaining that their late summer campfire hours have been cut short. A week before school, I start winding back their bedtimes by 15 minutes each evening, until we get to the desired time. One of my children needs 11 hours of sleep and has to be up at 6:30 a.m. on school mornings. He’s not happy about going to bed when it’s still light, but c’est la vie. Get a meal plan going. I’ve entered a particularly busy period with my business that coincides with my daughter’s start at daycare and the boys returning to school. When there’s no meal plan R0403078702

in place, we fall off the rails, spend a ton of extra money on groceries and the kids’ health can suffer. I know October is generally the month where the slow cooker comes out for most – not at our house. If all goes according to plan, I’ll have a batch of slow-cooked freezer meals ready to go so we have at least two dinners per week that we don’t have to think about. A friend makes a pile of salads in a jar every Sunday night, which she finds as a nice supplement to lunches or dinners. Have you got other tips to make the school year run smoothly?

Liberals to improve support for veterans: McCrimmon Kanata-Carleton Liberal candidate Karen McCrimmon, a former military person herself, has expressed pride in her party’s emphasis in improving the lot of veterans. After Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau announced the party policy on veterans early last week, McCrimmon issued a new release maintaining that the party is “committed to delivering the future we owe our veterans, after a decade of neglect and disrespect from Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.� “For 10 years, Stephen Harper draped himself in the Canadian flag, then betrayed the men and women who fought for it,� she quotes Justin Trudeau as saying. “Our servicemen and women, who have put their lives on the line for their country, stand for the very best of what it means to be Canadian. We have a social covenant with all veterans and their families – a sacred obligation we must meet with both respect and gratitude.� Trudeau announced that a Liberal government will make “major investments� in lifelong pensions and education

Dr. Corrine Motluk

subsidies for injured veterans and additional support for their families. “I was just so very proud of my party and our leader Justin Trudeau today for stepping up to give veterans and their families the recognition and support that they so richly deserve,â€? said McCrimmon.“Mr. Trudeau spoke about how politics should be about service and I heartily agree. Not only is Mr. Trudeau and this talented and dynamic team ready to serve Canadians, our respect for and sense of obligation to veterans is genuine and heartfelt.â€? Trudeau said a Liberal government will: • re-establish lifelong pensions for injured veterans, and increase the value of the disability award; • invest $25 million to expand access to the Permanent Impairment Allowance; • invest $40 million to increase the Earnings Loss Benefit to 90

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review

KAREN MCCRIMMON “Justin Trudeau clearly stated that Liberal MPs will be the voice of their communities in Ottawa instead of the Prime Minister’s voice in their communities like it is now,� said McCrimmon. “Politics exists to serve communities, not the other way around. “I am proud to stand with my party and our Leader, Justin Trudeau, in service to the men and women, my colleagues, who have given all they have in service to our country.�

Thank you to all the residents who came out to the celebration of Young’s Pond Park last weekend. It was great to have so many residents come out to enjoy a community BBQ and a lovely sunny afternoon at the pond. The event was made very special by the attendance of Mrs Audrey Young and her son Roger who brought a large picture of what the pond looked like in 1977 prior to development in the area. This four year project could not have been completed without the generous help of our community partners: Waste Management, Thomas Cavanagh Construction, PowerTek, and Bennett Insurance. Hydro Ottawa and Saunders Drilling also contributed to this project and helped to restore this community gem for future generations to enjoy. I would also like to thank Park Planner Mike Russett and Nancy Young from Forestry for their outstanding commitment over the years to this project. 2016 Budget Consultations I would like to invite all members of the community to please take part in submitting your comments and suggestions to my Budget Consultation page on my website at www.councillorallanhubley.com. I will be collecting your suggestions for the month of September. Information on the most common topics/issues that arise will be listed on my website as trends emerge. I will be bringing your suggestions back to the Council and Committee discussions with me for review and consideration for the 2016 Draft Budget. Due to the low attendance in the past, the regular budget meeting held in the community will be cancelled. As we enter into a period of increased ďŹ scal pressures I will be looking particularly for ideas on where to save tax dollars without negatively impacting the core services you and your family count on.

When Terry Fox ran onto the field at Lansdowne Park on July 1, 1980, to the sound of 16,000 cheering fans, his brother, Darrell, couldn’t help but be moved. Darrell was 17 at the time and was accompanying Terry – who is today a Canadian icon – on his Marathon of Hope across the country to raise money for cancer research. He had made his way from Newfoundland, crossing into Ontario at Hawkesbury before arriving in Ottawa, where Darrell says Terry gained momentum from the support he received. Terry was set to do the ceremonial kickoff at the beginning of an Ottawa Rough Riders pre-season game, but wasn’t sure what kind of reception he would get. “Terry was a little anxious because he didn’t know how he would be received,” Darrell Fox told Metroland Media in an interview. But when Terry ran onto the field, “he was flying. And the fans reacted to that and cheered very loudly. It’s a memory that’s engrained in me 35 years later.” The entire crowd rose to their feet to give him a rousing standing ovation. Even players were touched by the moment, Darrell said. “They were so moved by what they were witnessing there were some players with tears in their eyes,” he said. After the game, the players gave him a signed football, which is on display in the Canadian Museum of History. Darrell decided to commemorate the moment at Lansdowne Park 35 years on by conducting the ceremonial kickoff before the RedBlack’s game against the Saskatchewan Rough Riders that was held on Aug. 30. The 1980 kick was one of a number of special moments Terry experienced in Ottawa that helped propel him forward, Darrell said. “Ottawa was huge in terms of the response and reaction to Terry. It elevated him,” he said. “He was full of motivation when he saw he was being received so well. Seeing it come together like that in Ottawa was very special.” Terry was forced to end his run outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., after cancer spread to his lungs. He died on June 28, 1981. Since Terry Fox first did the Marathon of Hope, the Terry Fox Run has raised more than $700 million for cancer research. This year, the run is set for Sept. 20.

greeted with a special Terry Fox exhibit at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Ward said. Although he does not actively campaign to increase registration for the Kanata event, he hopes the significance of this year will raise awareness of Terry Fox and his mission in general. “That (exhibit) is kind of a big thing as well,” he said. “Together

With the Kanata Terry Fox run hitting its 27-year mark on the 35th anniversary of the original Marathon of Hope, organizer Michael Ward says his goal for the Sept. 20 event is not to break fundraising records, but to keep the run fun and accessible for everyone. The run consistently brings in between $20- and $30,000 each year and has donated more than $600,000 to fund cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation. Ward – who has led in organizing it since 2008 – said he’s less concerned about numbers and more concerned about the quality of the event. “I don’t really set targets because I’m more long term,” he said. “I’m not just trying to organize it this year or increase it every year; I want to make sure that everybody who wants to participate can. The main focus is making sure everybody is enjoying themselves and feels it’s worth it for them to come out.” The run is especially relevant in Ottawa this year as the 35th anniversary of the original run is

with the 35th anniversary, that’s going to bring a lot of new awareness and people are going to be able to see things they may not have known about.” Fox began his Marathon on Hope in 1980 after a malignant tumour in his right leg led to its amputation above the knee in 1977. On April 12, 1980, he dipped

his artificial right leg into the Atlantic Ocean and began his journey across Canada, raising awareness and funds for cancer research as he went. During the course of his marathon, the cancer that indirectly inspired the marathon spread to his lungs. After 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Fox stopped running just outside of Thunder Bay, On-

abilities along the Trans Canada Trail, starting at Kanata Montessori School at 355 Michael Cowpland Dr. Three routes – at 2.5 km, 5 km and 10 km long – are planned, and each will be flat, open and accessible to wheelchairs, walkers, strollers and bicycles. Registration begins at 8 a.m. that day, with the run taking place from 9 a.m. until noon. The Kanata Terry Fox run is free to attend and no minimum donation is required.

tario. He died on June 28, 1981, having met his goal of raising $24 million – or $1 for every Canadian – for cancer research.Now, 35 years later, his legacy lives on across Canada and the Terry Fox Run has become a fall tradition nationwide. “It definitely stays alive with the students and the younger generation,” Ward said. “You really see the kids come out.” The Kanata Terry Fox Run on Sept. 20 will take runners of diverse ages and

Have Your Say Ottawa.ca

To reduce the risks associated with WNV, OPH is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes. This includes applying an approved mosquito repellant containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing, wearing light colours and long sleeves, pants, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin, ensuring all screens on your home are in good working condition, and taking steps to reduce areas where mosquitoes breed by removing standing water from around your home. Empty containers, like flower pots or pool covers, turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows, clean out eavestroughs, remove unused tires, cover rain barrels with screens and drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers so that water can drain out.

In addition to flying nuisances, residents continue at to be for ticks. While Ontario is home to many Fill outshould our survey thewatching link above different sizes and colours of ticks, keep on the lookout for the black legged tick (also called the deer tick) that may before September 15, 2015 carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease (LD). Symptoms of LD usually begin three days to one month after being bitten by an infected tick. Individuals that acquire LD often develop a round, red rash that slowly expands away from the tick bite resembling a “bull’s eye” pattern. Other flu-like symptoms include – fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain. If left untreated, LD can cause neurological symptoms, rheumatologic symptoms or cardiac abnormalities weeks to years after onset. For those hunters and fall campers out there, ticks love to hide in tall grasses or shrubs to find and attach to a human or animal host. As a result, humans, dogs, birds and deer populations are all ideal hosts for ticks.

Protect Yourself! Prevent the Bite. Lyme Disease and West Nile Virus can affect your health. Learn how to protect yourself.

To protect yourself and your family from ticks, apply an approved insect repellant containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing, wear long sleeves, stay on trails and be sure to check yourself, children and pets for ticks. Pay special attention to the scalp, groin, waist band, armpits and behind the knees. Take extra care during other outdoor fall activities like raking leaves, doing yard work or playing in fields with long grass.

Seats for Kids is hosting a family fun day in Carp, as well as a car seat clinic in Kanata the following weekend, to bring more attention to child passenger safety in the community. The not-for-profit coalition hosts car seat clinics every three weeks, often seeing as many as 45 to 60 families per event, so parents can rest assured their children are safe when travelling in vehicles. Founder Deanna Lindsay started Seats for Kids when she came upon a roadside stop as a new mom and realized “everything I had done was wrong,” she said. “As a mom I really thought I had researched everything. It was my first child, I thought I’d researched everything, I was the best mom in the world and I stopped at this roadside stop and it was horrific.” After that experience, Lindsay vowed it would never happen again. She took the training course to become a certified technician and began volunteering at car seat clinics.

When that group’s funding was cut, Lindsay was driven to create Seats for Kids. The coalition’s volunteer car seat technicians and instructors, all certified with the Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada, inspect car seats to ensure parents have them strapped in properly and the correct size is being used for the child. The two most common errors technicians see include restraints and seats not being fit tightly enough, and parents moving their child to the next seat stage before the child is ready. Children should be in rearfacing seats “as long as possible,” Lindsay said. Although children can be moved to forward-facing seats at a certain age and weight legally, “It doesn’t mean they’ll survive a crash,” she said. “Our experience shows that upwards of 90 per cent of child restraints are not being used correctly,” said volunteer Ashley Byrnes. “Transport Canada reported that, in 2012 alone, vehicular collisions caused almost

9,000 injuries – including 64 deaths – in the one to 14 age group. Child passenger safety is a really big deal, but I feel it doesn’t get nearly enough of the public’s attention.” Byrnes was driven to become a car seat technician and eventually join the non-profit organization as a volunteer under similar circumstances to Lindsay’s. A health crisis forced her to travel with her then three-month-old daughter Alyssa to hospital in an ambulance, bringing a car seat for the return trip. When the time came to leave the hospital and load Alyssa and her car seat into a taxi, she realized she had no idea how to properly install the seat. “I realized straight away that I didn’t ever want to be in that situation again,” she said. “So I decided to seek out the training so I would know going forward how to securely install my children’s seats.” The clinics are all about education and giving parents peace of mind. “Everybody’s trying their very best for their child. We support and encourage and

Councillor Marianne Wilkinson invites you to

give them the information to make an informed choice,” said Lindsay. “Our goal is never to do something for the parent; it’s to teach the parent so they’re confident they can keep their baby safe. It’s all about empowerment and education.” FUN DAY & KANATA CLINIC

The family fun day and car seat clinic will take place Sept. 13, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Huntley Community Centre, 108 Juanita Ave. The event is also a fundraiser for Seats for Kids so it can continue hosting clinics and roadside stops. “We don’t turn anybody away. We ask for donations but we don’t require them,” said Lindsay. There will be plenty of activities on site, including a box fort challenge. The coalition hung on to a large number of boxes after a donation of seats a couple years ago, said Lindsay. The idea is to have children build whatever they can think of with the cardboard. “They can make them into houses or robots, whatever they can come up with,” said Lind-

say. Little Ray’s Reptiles Zoo will be on site, as well as a bouncy castle, face-painting and a touch-a-truck exhibit. Representatives from various services including police, fire and CHEO will be available to provide safety information to parents. There will be food trucks, a silent auction, and the drop-in car seat clinic.

they need for the school year and for their teacher’s class list. Here are a few tips to help you stay calm during all the tumult. First of all, carefully examine the list of supplies requested by the school. These detailed lists can be big orders to fill, so start early, take your time and do it right. Some stores organize their school supply section based on the lists supplied by the schools, while others offer personalized help in finding items on the list. To save yourself some money, you could check the flyers of the various stores before leaving home. You could also buy some items, such as pencils, pads of paper and exercise books, in larger quantities. That way you’ll have everything at hand if your children run out during the school year – you won’t have to go shopping yet again and pay the full price. Keep in mind that select-

Helping with homework

Some experts believe it is a mistake for parents to think that their teenagers, no matter what their age, are old enough to take complete responsibility for their school obligations all by themselves. Even the most independent teenagers sometimes need to be encouraged to stay motivated. Your role as a parent is crucial during all of your children’s school years. Take an interest in what they do. Take the time to talk to them every day in order to know how their day went, what subjects were taught, and what they liked or disliked.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and be attentive to their answers. The goal is to let your teenagers know that you are truly interested in their lives. If their school results are not what you’d hoped for, don’t go on and on about their weak points. Congratulate them on their efforts and help them find solutions to their problems. On the other hand, if they never seem to have any homework, it may be a sign that they are lacking confidence or commitment. Discuss this with them, check their agendas, and don’t hesitate to contact their school for more information. Remember

that while your child is living at home, you are still their parent and it is reasonable to ask for a minimal com­mitment from them. Encourage learning by creating a stimulating and positive atmosphere at home. Set up a work area in a quiet, well-lit room. Apart from providing an organized home office area, parents can also help their teenagers get organized. Skills that your children must learn include establishing good work habits, managing time, submitting work according to deadlines, balancing study time and relaxation time.

Stress from changing schools

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.

KEEP ON LEARNING The joy of reading is a gift Sharing with your children the joy of reading is to offer them the most beautiful gift in the world: an open door to wonder and imagination, which they will be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives. There is no need to wait: research shows that children experience more academic success when the pleasures of words and reading are kindled before they start school. It is important, of course, to adapt the reading material to the age of the child. From zero to 2 years, babies will literally devour their books! Baby books must be very durable and, ideally, washable. As soon as babies can focus on an image, sharing a book together with a parent is a great way to spend time together. From three to five years, children start to be interested in stories with a narrative. Toddlers are likely to ask you to read them the same book night after night. Comply without grumbling, because a passion is being born! Preschoolers, on the other hand, usually appreciate a variety of stories and illustrations. When they are school-age, continue to read to your children, even if they already know how to read alone. Then, gradually, take it in turns to read in order to encourage their progress. In addition to readers sent home from school, visit your local library as well so that you children can have access to a wider variety of books. An enjoyable outing to the library can be an incentive to read in itself. Last but not least, if they see you reading and hear you talking passionately about the books that you read, your children will almost inevitably grow up with a desire to do the same.

Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying 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. TYPES OF BULLYING

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge. Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation.

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying: verbal, social, physical and cyberbullying. 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. DEVASTATING EFFECTS

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence,

and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or Victim or witness: now’s the time to act. live in fear or isolation.

Kanata Home Depot helps food bank John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a good news story that came about due to a bad news happening. Earlier this year, the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project at the Tom Black farm on Fallowfield Road in Goulbourn was robbed, with thieves making off with some equipment. This theft revealed that the farming project needed a more secure storage shed than the old makeshift one that was being used. With this in mind, Home Depot was approached regarding a possible discount on the purchase of a new garden shed that could be used to store the farming project’s equipment. Home Depot’s head office got involved along with the Kanata Home Depot and before you knew it, things started happening. Home Depot regularly takes on projects to help community groups and projects and providing a storage shed at the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project became

one of them. But it was not just a garden shed. Mike Holland at the Home Depot in Kanata, who took leadership of the project, quickly realized that the farming project needed more storage space than would be provided by the typical garden shed. The project soon evolved into building a 12-foot by 20-foot storage shed on the farm property, with Home Depot and one of its suppliers, Trent Lumber, providing the lumber and materials for the building and Home Depot staff providing the volunteer labour to erect the new shed. Holland not only designed the shed but pre-constructed all of the walls, trusses and floor sections off-site so that on building day at the site on Thursday, Aug. 27, it was just a matter of putting all the pieces together for the crew of Home Depot staff which included Kanata store manager Sarge Campagna. The new shed sits on a number of precast concrete supports, sitting on a bed of crushed stone. “The theft of a couple of drills has turned into a beautiful new building for

the farm” is how Ottawa Food Bank Community Harvest coordinator Jason Gray summed up the whole episode as he watched the new storage shed take shape during the Aug. 27 “shed raising” by Home Depot staff. The new shed will not only provide more space for storage, but it will be secure space, unlike the situation with the farming project’s previous unsecured shed. Up until now, some of the farming project’s materials such as netting and plastic for the fields had to be stored at the Ottawa Food Bank’s warehouse. With the new larger storage shed on site, this warehouse storage will not be needed, freeing up space there while also eliminating the constant transportation of the items to the planting project. It’s a win/win situation for everyone. Holland says that providing the larger storage shed for the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project was what was needed, especially when it is realized how much fresh, organic produce is produced at the project. Calling it a “no brainer”

John Curry/Metroland

Diego Ramirez, left, and Sarge Campagna, of the Kanata Home Depot, carry a roof truss for a new storage shed. is an understatement, he said of why Home Depot got involved. Last year, the Community Harvest farming project yielded more than 73,000 pounds of fresh produce which was distributed by the Ottawa Food Bank to its member agencies to help people in need. Holland said the shed construction was one of the largest community projects undertaken by the Kanata Home Depot. Michael Maidment, executive direc-

tor of the Ottawa Food Bank, who visited the site during construction of the shed, said that the Community Harvest farming project is an incredibly important part of what the Food Bank does as it provides fresh organically-grown vegetables and produce for the Food Bank and its clients. He said that the quality of produce provided by the farming project is high and it is distributed to clients and member agencies immediately after it arrives at the warehouse.

It is with heavy hearts that the Balint family of Carleton Place announces the sudden passing of husband and father, Sandor Balint, on August 25, 2015, at home. Almost a month shy of his 65th birthday, he leaves behind his wife of 34 years, Judith, daughter Virag and fiancé Nick; sons Robert and Roland; step children Laura and Zoltan; his brothers Geza, Edgard, and Zoltan abroad. He was preceded in passing by his mother Margit Szili and father Sandor Balint Sr. Born in Hungary, passing through Germany, the family immigrated to Canada in December 1988. Braving challenges of new country, different languages, he successfully became co-owner and mechanic of Sandor’s Garage/ Automotive. Avid fisherman, Pink Floyd connoisseur, ingenious inventor, masterful gardener, expert bonfire builder, culinary expert and master fixer. He had an appreciation for nature and enjoyed deep discussions on life, philosophy and history with friends and family. After his accident, being forced to close the business, meant he was able to turn his attention to what mattered most: family and friends. He is remembered in his private and professional life for his kindness, generosity and sense of humor. Always willing to try his best and go the extra mile. He is grieved by his family, friends and loyal customers. Friends may call at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place, on Friday, Sept 4, 2015 with visitation from 2:00pm followed by a service in the chapel at 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Sandor may be made to Lanark Animal Welfare Society at 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls, ON, K7A 4S4. www.barkerfh.com

Hiring freeze, project ‘haircuts’ to fend off city’s $41M deficit Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city’s treasury department will take a little off the top this year as it faces its largest deficit in recent memory. City treasurer Marian Simulik presented a disappointing quarterly report on Sept. 1 outlining a $34 million shortfall in tax-supported programs and another $7 million loss for rate-supported services – about 1.8 per cent of the city’s total $3 billion budget. Most of the deficit came from things the city couldn’t really help: $18 million extra for snow clearing and winter maintenance during 2015’s record cold winter, arbitrated wage increases to the tune of $9.88 million, and an extra $4.7 million in injury payouts for families of firefighters who died of certain cancers dating back to 1960 – a new provincial law for which the city must now find funding. On the rate-supported side, there was also a $3 million discrepancy in water consumption forecasts, which was compounded by skyrocketing operational costs – more

than $5.9 million – to deal with frozen water pipes across the city. All this is causing a bit of a scramble, since Ontario municipalities by law are not allowed to post a deficit at the end of the year. In July, the city implemented a hiring and discretionary spending freeze for the rest of the year. And on Sept. 1, the finance committee approved a plan to close and reduce funding for certain capital projects, while taking five per cent off the top of any projects financed through the city-wide reserve fund. This “haircut� would return, altogether, nearly $10 million to the city reserve, but Simulik assured councillors it wouldn’t affect their ability to finish projects as promised. “In all cases the departments have said these projects can be closed, there’s a little bit of money left, or they’ve got a reduction because the tenders came in lower,� she said. “They have provided us a list of projects for reductions to take place.� She said in some cases it could be as little as a $1,200 reduction on a $500,000 project. Furthermore,

strategic initiative projects that were just approved in July are exempt from this process, she said. PROVINCIAL HELP Several councillors pointed out that the province is behind some of the city’s problems – and therefore should help pay for them. Coun. Eli El-Chantiry passed a motion asking the province to cover the cost of rolling out SAMS, the new social assistance software that has wreaked havoc in municipalities since it was introduced last November. So far the city has paid about $1.2 million for extra staff and resources to keep the welfare system going, while staff wrangle the new software under control. Coun. Diane Deans also asked Mayor Jim Watson to urge the province to help cover the $4.7 million in extra WSIB costs for firefighters who developed certain cancers over the past 50 years. “(We should) ask them to at least share in the funding, because they’re the ones that brought in the legislation,� she said. In 2014, the provincial government announced it would add testicular, breast and prostate cancers,

as well as multiple myeloma, to its list of eligible workplace injury claims for fire fighters – retroactive to 1960. Next year, lung cancer will be added to that list, and in 2017 skin cancer will also be eligible. Simulik said it was impossible to predict how much money they would have to pay out in 2015. “Even with the number have today, we’re not certain that’s the final number,� she said. Simulik said forecasts for WSIB payments, winter maintenance costs and water consumption will be re-evaluated ahead of the 2016 budget process, which begins this fall, to avoid similar shortfalls next year. Watson told committee and reporters that he will not raise taxes just to deal with unexpected costs. “This is very much an opportunity for us to be much more creative and thoughtful when it comes to putting our budgets together,� he said. “I’m not prepared, just because we have some tough decisions to make, to fold like a lawn chair and all of a sudden decide we’d better go and raise taxes.�

Police chief worries street check rules could go too far Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

As the province ponders regulations on street checks, Ottawa’s police chief Charles Bordeleau says he welcomes the review, but warns against rules that would overly restrict the controversial policing tactic. “We certainly wouldn’t want to see any regulations that are so prescriptive that it will prevent officers from doing the job that not only I, as the chief expect them to do, but that the community expects them to do,” he told reporters outside a public consultation the provincial government held at Carleton University on Aug. 21. “A lot of the street checks are as a result of the community calling us to a scene, where there is something suspicious ... I would like to see those regulations allow us to continue doing that work that helps us prevent and solve crimes.” Opponents of street checks have criticized the practice for disproportionately targeting young men from the black community. Last year, Ottawa police conducted more than 4,000 street checks. In June, the province announced it would be looking to regulate street checks to make sure they are done without racial bias. A recent study conducted by the police board found that of the 23,400 checks made by Ottawa police between 2011 and 2014, 20 per cent targeted black residents, despite being only 5.7 per cent of the city’s population in 2011. Middle Eastern residents were stopped in 14 per cent of street checks, despite only making up 4.6 per cent of Ottawa’s population. Bordeleau has said the data is too raw to draw conclusions and needs further research. He also said Ottawa police do not conduct random checks,

unlike in Toronto in years past, where the police’s “carding” tactic has been controversial. While he warned against rules that would be too restrictive, Bordeleau welcomed the province’s initiative to have a policy regarding the issue. “We welcome a strict definition of what they are so that there is a standard across the province so that whether you’re in Ottawa, Toronto or Niagara, the community knows what a street check is and the policing community knows what it is,” he said. The consultation in Ottawa was the first of five being held across Ontario to help develop the province-wide policy. A couple dozen residents, representing a number of different communities, attended the Ottawa consultation. Participants were asked how they define street checks, what rules should be applied in the practice and what oversight the provincial government should have. “I want better training, community awareness workshops and police officers to be held accountable for their actions,” said Séverin Jr Ndéma-Moussa, who was representing the Carribean Union of Canada at the meeting. “We are not Ferguson. We are not Baltimore. We are Ottawa, but there is a reason we are here.” Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, who serves as the minister of community safety and correctional services, said draft regulations will be drawn up by the fall. “We have zero tolerance when it comes to any kind of racial profiling or discrimination,” he told reporters at the consultation. “We need to make sure all policing actions are guided by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and also the Ontario human rights code.”

Parkland cash policy to allow life cycle repair emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city’s planning committee has approved a plan to allow development funds for parkland to be used for life-cycle repairs – while refusing to make three temporary park planning positions permanent. The city’s cash-in-lieu of parkland policy, which allows developers to pay a tax toward parkland development when it’s not possible to provide physical green space, has been a touchy subject since July, when a staff report suggested the fund be expanded to allow for life-cycle repairs as well as the creation of new parks. The committee, full of questions of what this would mean for park development, deferred the issue to its Aug. 25 meeting to give them the summer to talk it over with staff.

LIFE-CYCLE REPAIRS

One thing that didn’t change, despite an hour of hand-wringing, was the proposal to allow development dollars to fund life-cycle repairs in existing

parks. Right now, when a developer adds residential capacity to a ward but cannot provide park space, it can opt to pay a fee toward park development instead. That money is split 60/40 between the ward where the development is built and a citywide fund for major projects, such as Lansdowne Park. Since 2011 the city’s policy has only allowed this cash to be used for new parks, or to add extra things such as new playground equipment, benches or paths to existing spaces. Changing that model to include maintenance and repair divided committee members. Several councillors argued that repairs and maintenance are the city’s responsibility, and should be paid for with taxpayer dollars, whereas the cash-inlieu accounts are a perk to deal with intensification. “What we need in Centretown is new green space, new opportunities for parks,” said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, who does not sit on the planning committee but at-

tended to offer her comments. “We can have all the nice shiny new equipment that we want, but as we intensify it gets used and it’s just not enough space. We have entire communities that don’t have a park available to them.” College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said if councillors are concerned that parks are not beinging repaired in a timely fashion, they should demand the city’s budget department find more money to get it done. “If we allow this (change), we know what’s going to happen,” Chiarelli said. “When the budget’s written, staff will say ‘Ok, we don’t have to fund as much as we normally do because we can rely on the councillors to gut that funding source (in the cash-in-lieu accounts).’ It’s a band-aid for a gaping hole in the budget.” But city treasurer Marian Simulik said the city’s life-cycle repair priorities are decided on a priority basis across the city, independent of what’s available from the cash-in-lieu accounts, within a defined budget envelope. All the change would R0063379310_0903

Emma Jackson

But the extra time didn’t seem to clear much up, because it took councillors two hours and four motions to finally approve the item – with multiple changes to the staff proposal in the meantime. For example, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley successfully led the charge to have a staff proposal to ban “promotional” plaques commemorating the contributions of councillors be watered down. The ban was proposed by staff following the outcry over former River Ward councillor Maria McRae’s decision to spend thousands on commemorative benches in her name, leaving her successor Riley Brockington with an empty parkland account. Hubley’s motion changed the ban so it applies only to cash-in-lieu projects that cost less than $10,000.

Blais said adding the option of life-cycle repair simply gives councillors the flexibility to do what’s right for their residents. “I don’t see why there has been this much consternation and dithering on this,” he said. “It’s money we have. Use your judgement; let’s use it where everyone deems it’s best to be spent.”

mean is that if an existing park was scheduled to get upgrades in 2018, for example, a councillor could choose to fast-track that to 2016 using cash-in-lieu funds, if that is what the community wanted. Another park would then move up a notch on the priority list. With that in mind, not all councillors saw what the fuss was about. Cumberland Coun. Stephen

Funds for park development to be stretched further UNDERSTAFFED

Continued from page 34

But Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney warned the change is going to backfire on taxpayers. He said the move is another example of downloading costs to stretched ward offices, instead of making room for necessary funding in the city budget.

Hubley also had support with his motion to axe the creation of three permanent park planning positions. Right now a 10 per cent surcharge of cash-in-lieu projects costing more than $100,000 is applied to fund two temporary park planners, who are fully dedicated to developing

cash-in-lieu projects. A third contract position has also been added in the parks implementation department to deal with increasing volume. Staff recommended turning those temporary positions into full-time jobs, to be funded by the 10 per cent cash-in-lieu surcharge. Parks and recreation manager Dan Chenier said this

would reduce turnover in the office and, as a result, speed up the planning process for these projects. “Finding planners to do this type of work has been a challenge, especially when the positions are temporary,” Chenier said. “We’ve also had difficulty retaining them because as soon as something comes up that’s permanent, they’re gone. That

has resulted in some delays in dealing with the volume of cash-in-lieu projects that are coming at us.” He said splitting the cash-inlieu work between regular fulltime park planners isn’t feasible either, because the city’s workload is already so stretched. It will only get worse with the number of Canada 150 and Ottawa 2017 projects coming on-

line in the next few years. But Hubley argued he didn’t want development cash that’s meant for green space to be used to fund staff. Enough councillors agreed with him that the motion passed 5 to 4. Tierney said he’ll try to get the staffing motion reversed when the item goes to council on Sept. 9.

My spouse and I are separated with children. Who pays for back to school expenses? Parents often like to joke that back-to-school is “the most wonderful time of the year.” Covering the costs of sending the kids back into the classroom also makes it quite an expensive time of year. For parents who are separated or divorced, figuring out how those expenses get shared can create stress and conflict without clear communication, a reasonable approach and a solid agreement to guide them. Some school expenses may be covered under the rules relating to “special and extraordinary expenses.” These types of expenses are typically shared in proportion to each parents’ income. Tuition and school fees, for example, are considered a special or extraordinary expense. Some expenses, however, are not typically included in this category. For example, the extra pair of indooronly, non-marking running shoes for gym; all of the usual supplies like paper, pens, binders, calculators,

and geometry sets; or a laptop or tablet that may be necessary for school work. These items can quickly add a significant cost to the monthly budget at back-toschool time, so many parents ask, who pays and how much? The answers to those questions are not always straightforward, especially when parents disagree about such things as what is a reasonable expense, what is already included in the regular monthly child support payment, and should the expense be divided equally or proportionately between the parents? Seeking advice from an experienced family law lawyer can provide parents with the information needed to understand each parents’ obligations and responsibilities when it comes to child support, special and extraordinary expenses and any other expenses related to child-rearing.

Body builders Chris Bumstead, right, and Iain Valliere show off their strength as they lift fellow builder Melissa Bumstead above their heads at the My Fitness Canada store in Kanata on Aug. 31. The Bumsteads, who are siblings, both won nationals in July.

When Chris and Melissa Bumstead started body building in a serious way about two years ago, their parents didn’t know what to think. “It’s confusing to see your kid dieting so hard and switching one lifestyle for another,” said Melissa, the older of the Kanata siblings who both started building their bodies around the same time in 2014. Preparation for a body building competition is long and intense. It requires strict diets, hours of weight lifting and a constant eye on body fat and muscle mass ratios. But for both Bumsteads, the effort has been worth it – to an outsider, one might assume it was rather effortless. At their very first competition in May 2014, for example, they both won overall for their genders – not bad for first-timers. “I saw a switch in my mom, especially, in terms of pride,” Melissa said. “They were a bit skeptical

at first I think. But they’ve seen how much we enjoy it. They’ve come around.” TOP BUILDERS

That quick success hasn’t slowed. The siblings both took home national awards this summer. Melissa, 23, won the top spot in the Canadian Figure Nationals in Halifax this July. Chris went to Edmonton to take first place in Mr. Canada Junior – a category for body builders aged 22 and under – before placing third overall in the men’s category. That’s all very impressive, but the real shocker came when Melissa was handed her pro-card from the International Federation of Body Building, the ultimate goal of most serious builders and her ticket to international competitions including the Olympias. “It’s a big … deal,” she laughed. “I honestly didn’t expect to achieve this so early, on my first try.” Neither did her coach and boyfriend, Iain Valliere, who first convinced her to try body building a few years ago.

“Chris was really motivated and into the training, whereas when Melissa started she was just doing it for health,” said Valliere, who trains builders for competition. “It’s been a big change in Melissa in that respect.” Perhaps they should have all seen it coming, considering Melissa’s work ethic. “I never feel satisfied with mediocrity,” said Melissa, adding setting and achieving goals is “like a drug to me.” With her pro-card in hand, Melissa will now be able to work towards the “Superbowl of body building,” the Olympias, which made stars out of builders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Chris is likely not far behind; Valliere said he expects Chris to get his procard next summer at the nationals. BUILDING BLOCKS

For both Bumsteads, adjusting to a body building physique took some time. Melissa, especially, said she faced more criticism from strangers, and in fact was nervous to put on so much mass herself.

“I was scared of muscle,” she said. “When I first started, I was self-conscious because of the stares from being a more muscular woman.” But now that’s she’s considered a professional builder, she’s learning to ignore the occasional rude comment directed her way. “After I’ve accomplished what I’ve accomplished, I know my strength serves a purpose,” she said. Melissa said she’s looking forward to proving her mettle even more next year. “I’m excited to step on the pro stage and see how I stack up,” she said. But, she admitted, it’s a lifestyle she may not keep up forever. “I’m always going to give 110 per cent to what I do, but I don’t change my outside life to fit my body building,” she said. “If in five years I wanted to settle down and have babies, I would do that. But right now it’s making me happy.” For now she said she’s excited that she and Valliere – who also has his pro-card – can plan to travel to the same competitions next year.

Father and son win Sun Scramble golf tournament ‘It was an unreal experience’: 14-year-old There were hugs and a few tears as a father and son duo from West Carleton realized they had won the Ottawa Sun Scramble tournament on Aug. 30. Fourteen-year-old Hunter McGee tapped in the final putt about a halffoot away from the pin as his father Allen stood by. “We knew we won it. It was an unreal experience,� said Hunter. “We hugged and cried. We came together as a team and played the best golf we could. And we won, which is just awesome.� Allen was a proud father, talking about his son’s game the day after the win. “He’s definitely a golfer, a very, very good golfer,� said Allen. “He definitely carried me on Day 1. Day 2, he didn’t falter at all. He played fantastically. I picked up my game on the final day and we played

like a true team. “It was pretty magical what he and I accomplished.� Hunter has been swinging a club since he was one-year-old, when Allen would take him to the driving range. The two began playing parthree courses when Hunter was five, and the teen has been playing seriously for three years. Allen is no stranger to winning the Sun Scramble. He and his former partner Kyle Koski won the tournament six years in a row. “Hunter started getting good, so I decided to start playing with him,� said Allen. Father and son made the cut the first year they played together when Hunter was 12. They missed it the second year, and this third time has proved the charm. “I’m very lucky,� said Allen. “I don’t think there’s going to be very many people who can say they won the Sun Scramble with their son.� “Honestly, it’s one of the best

Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical ladies clothing store. The store is located seven kilometers north of Perth Ontario on Hwy. 511 in the quaint hamlet of Downtown Balderson. Upon entering Ema Lee Fashions, the staff greets you and offers their friendly help. Then you stand in awe as you realize the size of the store which is filled upstairs and down with ladies apparel. But it’s not like your usual Big Box clothing store, with row upon row of the same clothing showing up in every store! This store now carries a total of 35 different lines from sizes 6 to 3X. Besides ladies clothing they have the largest collection of bathing suits in the Ottawa Valley year round, consisting of four name brand lines sizes 6 to 34. They also carry five brands of men’s shirts: Berkham, Black Ice, Platinum, Sergio Loui and Scala Milano. Regular sizes small to 2XL. For the big and tall, sizes L to 7XL and also a good selection of men’s polos “with pockets”!

Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney are the owners of the store. They both have a sincere commitment to the business and their customers. It’s hard work, but they both enjoy supplying their customers with different, unique, quality clothing at reasonable prices.

portunity to participate in tournaments throughout the season. This is where many fond memories are made, as the players have the chance to have fun with their teammates, both on and off the ice, and meet other ringette players who also love this sport. So why choose ringette? Ringette is a game where fast skating and great passing are vital and where teamwork is a focus, both on-ice and office. There are six players from each team on the ice: 2 forwards, 1 centre, 2 defense and 1 goalie. Players are not permitted to carry the ring over the two blue lines. Therefore, the ring must be passed to another player, which makes ringette a great team sport. Have you ever dreamed of being a goalie? West Ottawa Ringette is looking for goalies between the ages of 10 and 17. For further information, please contact recreational@ westottawaringette.com. More details about the West Ottawa Ringette Association and the game of ringette can be found at www. westottawaringette.com. You can also follow West Ottawa Wild Ringette on Twitter @ WestOttawaWild to stay upto-date on events and deadlines.

From the sidelines to the stadium Ottawa announcer part of Fury success Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Michael Pearson is the “Why not?” guy. “If someone asks me something, I say, ‘Why not?” said the Ottawa resident. “I’ve officiated weddings, gone to South Africa. When someone asks you to do something, you never know where it will lead. That’s how I ended up here.” “Here” is the announcing booth on the fourth level of the stands at TD Place, where he calls all the Fury FC soccer games – and recently found himself announcing the FIFA Women’s World Cup as well.

When the Fury announced a professional team would play at the newly-built TD Place, Pearson said he simply asked if he could announce

those games too. Staff said yes – and we’re going to start to pay you. Pearson, who is the best PR person the team could ask for, frequently talks about how great the atmosphere is at the games, and how excellent a

toughest part of his job. Soccer is an international sport, and he can face names he’s never seen before at every game. He gets a phonetic printout to help. He had to meet with liaison officers for each World Cup team to lock down pronunciations of tougher names, such as those of the Thai team. “That was a little more nerve-wracking,” he said. “But the Thai embassy said I did a good job.”

He’s got the Fury lineup names memorized, and can introduce the players with long, drawn out syllables to hype up the crowd. Now that he’s used to TD Place, there’s less nervousness and a lot of fun. “My kids always said I should have got into radio, and I never found the time to do it,” Pearson said. “It’s a great way to be loud and have fun. Some people play chess. Some people ride a bike. I announce in a giant stadium.”

Pearson, a dad in his mid40s, sells cars at Orléans Dodge by day, and spends every Fury home game announcing professional soccer. He started announcing on a whim. He got into the Fury atmosphere when his two daughters, then 11 and 12, were playing competitive youth soccer with the club. One day an announcer for a women’s W-League game didn’t show up, and the club owner asked Pearson if he could read out the lineups and announcements instead. He’s been the voice of the Ottawa Fury ever since. “I used to do it just for fun,” he said. “And the next thing you know, I’m announcing the FIFA World Cup … here’s a bigger microphone and here’s a bigger stadium.” He spent several years announcing games for the amateur-format Fury before there were even plans for the professional team. There were times when storms meant the only two people at the game who weren’t players or coaches were his two daughters.

Taxi dispute talks ‘miles apart’ over fee increase: union Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Unifor regional representative Harry Ghadban, left, Unifor national president Jerry Dias and Abed Madi, president of the union’s airport taxi local, regroup at Unifor’s Nepean offices on Sept. 1, following a five-hour meeting the day before with taxi dispatch company, Coventry Connections. The two sides have resumed contract negotiations amid a three-week labour dispute.

flyers. coupons. deals. savings tips.

The airport taxi drivers’ union and its dispatch company have returned to the bargaining table, but remain “miles apart” three weeks into a labour dispute over an increase in airport taxi passenger pick-up fees. “We’re miles apart. They’re going to have to make a significant move or this thing isn’t going anywhere,” Jerry Dias, Unifor national president, said Sept. 1, the day after the two sides in the dispute met for the first time since before a lockout began Aug. 11. The airport fleet of taxi drivers say they were locked out that day after refusing to each pay a $5-per-passenger-fee increase. Of that, $3 would go to the Ottawa International Airport Authority, $1.50 would go to taxi dispatcher, Coventry Connections, with the rest to cover taxes. While at the bargaining table on Aug. 31, Unifor said its drivers are willing to double their current fee rate of about $345 per month, which Dias characterized as a “huge concession.” But, Coventry rejected the offer, he said. “Frankly, we don’t have a lot of wiggle room at all. We are at our max,” Dias said, while waiting at Unifor offices in Nepean for word the two sides would meet a second time the afternoon of Sept. 1. “We can’t get a deal with us playing solitaire. We need a partner to talk to.” But, in a statement on

Aug. 31, the chief executive of Coventry Connections said the dispatch company requires “a credible response to the proposals we had tabled at our last meeting with the airport fleet union representatives to go forward.” Still, the company is hoping the two parties can put an end to the labour dispute.

“We can’t get a deal with us playing solitaire. We need a partner to talk to.” JERRY DIAS, UNIFOR NATIONAL PRESIDENT

“We still hope to come to a resolution and to have the airport drivers come back to work soon,” Marc-Andre Way, Coventry’s chief operating officer, said in the statement. “But it’s important that airport pickups remain open to all fleets to meet customer demand.” The airport authority also issued a statement that it is continuing to encourage Unifor to join Coventry at the table. “We hope they can resolve their differences, and welcome the drivers back to the airport,” said the authority, reiterating that it is not taking part in the labour negotiations. “The authority is pleased with the level of service being provided by the drivers who have agreed to serve the R0023433754

airport, and pleased that the rent being paid is more in line with the market and with the rest of our tenants,” said Mark Laroche, airport authority president. The airport taxi fleet has 275 drivers operating 150 taxis. “The elephant in the room is Uber,” Dias said of the app-based ride service, which is not licensed by the city and does not have the same overhead fees that licensed cabbies pay, which averages about $3,300 a month per driver. This doesn’t include the new airport fee hike, which would average out to about $1,300 a month per driver. “If you look at the 15hour days they’re putting in, they’re making slightly over minimum wage,” Dias said. “Tell any employee in Canada that they’re going to be losing $1,300 a month. Guess what? It’s a problem. “No worker in Canada, frankly, would accept a $1,300-a-month cut in pay, and that’s what they’re expected to do.” While the airport authority previously told Metroland Media the drivers are not required to produce a set amount in passenger pickup fees each month, Unifor said the reality is drivers would have to pay an average $1,330 based on current airport passenger volumes. While the fee rate may be comparable elsewhere in North America, making such a big change overnight isn’t realistic, Dias said. “All of a sudden you add $1,300 into the mix – that is a problem,” he said.

Transportation coalition pushes for low-income transit pass alex.robinson@metroland.com

A coalition of transportation advocates is looking to affect next year’s budget talks early, in the hopes of pushing the city council to create transit passes for lowincome residents. The Healthy Transportation Coalition has launched a petition to gather signatures of those who support implementing such a pass. “There are a lot of low income people who have to choose every month between a bus pass and putting food on their table for their families,” said Trevor Haché, a spokesman for the coalition. “Forcing people to make that decision is a social injustice that needs to be corrected.” OC Transpo already offers passes for people who receive benefits under the Ontario Disability Support Program, but the group is asking council members to approve

File

The Healthy Transportation Coalition hopes to persuade city council to create a transit pass for low-income residents, and has launched a petition to garner support. a reduced price for all lowincome residents. In Ottawa, single people who get paid less than $23,298 a year are considered low income, as are fam-

ilies of four with an income below $44,340. A number of cities across the province have already introduced similar plans, including Cornwall, Kingston,

Waterloo and Windsor. Various groups in Ottawa have been pushing for a low-income transit pass for years. Haché said that while it’s the municipal government’s responsibility to figure out how it would pay for a pass for low-income residents, raising parking fees or implementing tolls could be some ways to help fund it. The Healthy Transportation Coalition, which represents more than 20 local organizations, has been advocating for better pedestrian, cycling and public transportation infrastructure since it was started in February 2014. The advocacy group sprung out of an initiative by a number of organizations to support “complete streets” – with planning to include pedestrian and cyclists – during

the negotiations around the 2013 transportation master plan. The group has since tried to push councillors and candidates to commit to the idea of low-income transit passes. Haché said the group hopes to influence next year’s budget by collecting more than 5,000 signatures on its petition. As of Aug. 26, more than 290 people had signed the petition. Our hope is that thousands

of people will sign this petition and it gets to the point where city council can no longer afford to ignore it, Haché said. “We’re trying to demonstrate early there’s support for this idea. We know we might not win this as early as this fall when the budget it finalized, but we’re working to achieve this goal. If it takes more than a year, we’re committed to work as long as it takes.”

The province is getting tougher on distracted drivers by introducing new penalities. Failing to slow down and move over for a tow truck can result in a set fine of $490. The new rules come a week after a tow truck driver was seriously injured helping a stranded motorists on the Queensway in Ottawa. The fines include a victim fine surcharge and court costs. School buses will be more recognizable -- they will be the only buses permitted to be chrome yellow.

In announcing the tougher rules, the provincial government noted: • if current collision trends continue, fatalities from distracted driving may exceed those from drinking and driving by 2016; • research indicates that a driver who uses a cell phone is four times more likely to be in a crash; • a novice driver is one with a G1, G2, M1, M2, M2-L or M2-M licence;

Ontario implemented tougher penalties for distracted driving, new rules to protect cyclists and measures to ensure the safety of tow truck drivers and children riding school buses effective Sept. 1. Penalties for distracted driving include an increased set fine of $490 and three demerit points upon conviction. Novice drivers will receive a minimum 30day suspension for the first conviction and longer suspensions for subsequent convictions. The ‘dooring’ of cyclists will carry an increased set fine of $365 and three demerit points upon conviction. New rules will also require drivers to leave a one-metre distance where possible when passing cyclists, or they may face the penalty of a $110 set fine and two demerit points. Cyclists who don’t use the required bicycle lights and reflectors face a higher set fine of $110. Drivers must leave a safe passing distance between themselves and tow trucks stopped on the roadside to provide assistance.

Gotta go? There’s an app for that

Classes in the arts provide great Back to Fun options

Emma Jackson

Classes in the arts provide an opportunity for all ages to be creative. The Fall/Winter Recreation eGuide has many options to try something different, or to add new twists to your routine.

If you’ve spent any time in downtown Ottawa, chances are you’ve been caught with your pants up – and desperately looking for a place to lower them so you can do your business. The City of Ottawa hopes to make that a little easier, now that the finance committee has approved plans to develop a toilet-finding app with the help of its private-sector partners. The Where to Go app would use city facility data to tell users where and when public washrooms are open, and to what extent they are accessible. According to a staff report, the first phase would simply offer a list and map of the city’s washroom facilities. Later phases could allow the private sector to put its own washrooms on the map if they’re open to the public, which would also generate some revenue for the city. The city is responsible for making sure the app gets made, but information technology sub-committee chairman Coun. Rick Chiarelli said the IT department and Service Ottawa staff will use their annual budget to pair up with their pool of app development partners to make sure the best people are actually creating the product. Joan Kuyek, chairwoman of the community-led Gotta Go campaign, said she and her colleagues are “delighted” with the plan. “We know there are a fair number of city washrooms, but it’s a bit of a mystery of when

they’re actually open and how people can use them,” Kuyek told the committee. Her group has been pushing for more washroom facilities to be included in the city’s light rail plans – they won a small victory in July when council promised to consider how it can add toilets in the new Hurdman and Bayview stations – on the grounds that almost every vulnerable or marginalized group would benefit.

We know there are a fair number of city washrooms, but it’s a bit of a mystery of when they’re actually open and how people can use them. Joan Kuyek, chair, Gotto Go campaign

Families with young children can get stuck or have to leave an activity early if a child has to go; senior citizens are discouraged from venturing into the community without the promise of accessible washrooms; residents dealing with Crohn’s, colitis, IBS or other chronic diseases can be left stranded in a moment’s notice. Even the city’s homeless population would benefit from being able to access washrooms on a more predictable basis. The city’s Older Adult Plan also calls for better information on where and when public washrooms are available.

Former Ottawa man is homeward-bound with gourmet meal biz brier.dodge@metroland.com

A former Ottawa resident is bringing his business back home as he expands into the city. Jamie Shea founded the Chef’s Plate, a Torontobased company that delivers pre-packaged ingredients for make at-home meals. “I’m bringing it back home,” he said. The company provides the ingredients to make a specific meal, portioned out and placed in a cooler package that is shipped to the purchaser. Meals frequently rotate, but options can include meals such as pistachiocrusted steak, vegetarian pad Thai, and chicken supreme. The meals come with everything that is needed – including preparation instructions – to make a gourmet meal at home. All the meals are designed to take 30 minutes or less to prepare and cook, and each meal comes with an estimated ease of difficulty to pre-

pare and a calorie count. “I think it’s taking a unique approach to home cooking,” said Shea, who

started the business with a classmate from Kingston’s Queen’s University. The food is sourced from

Ontario and the GTA, and then packaged in a corrugated box with gel packs that stay active for 48 hours. They’re delivered to door steps using a combination of Fed X, Canada Post, and local shipping. Chef’s Plate has mainly operated in Toronto up until now, as the company expands into the Ottawa market, including Orléans. Shea said the company

ships several thousand meals a week from its facility just outside Toronto, with each plate starting at $10.95. Company staff has grown to 30 people from four but further growth is anticipated. He expects staff to grow to close to 100 employees by the end of the year. Half of its business comes from the 25-to-40-year-old age group, but Shea said it has been growing to include

a larger portion of empty nesters who are not cooking large portions for a family anymore. Customers can just try it out for a few meals, but the company works through a subscription model where customers purchase a specific number of meals per week. For more information about Chef’s Plate, visit www.chefsplate.com.

Mary tries her hand at hatching her very own chicken

T

here was no doubt about it; my pet chicken wouldn’t be a chicken much lon-

Memories taken into Renfrew with Mother’s other wares to be peddled, and the few pennies added to what was called her “egg” money. When Biddy went missing, I knew what I had to do. I had to get an egg out of the hen house, and somehow turn it into a chicken. Surely, if I had hatched my very own chicken, it would never be hauled off to Renfrew or put in the big granite pot on a Sunday. And I knew just how to do it too. Hadn’t I seen Mother stock the incubator with eggs, keep it warm with coal oil lamps or lanterns and lo and behold in due course, there would be

a batch of little golden chickens? So the first thing I had to do was find a spot that was not cold. Well, this time of year, that could be just about any place in the house. The upstairs was like we had moved the Findlay Oval to the top floor! And so, without being noticed, I went to the henhouse, looked over the eggs waiting to be brought into the house, and picked the biggest one I could find. I tucked it gently into the leg of my flour bag bloomers so no one would notice it, and headed right upstairs to the little washstand I shared with my sister Audrey.

sister Audrey, who could hear a leaf drop, and who had a nose that could pick a scent two miles away, so good were her senses, announced to Mother one morning that there was a vile smell coming from our shared bedroom. It was a Saturday, so Mother told her to work especially hard at doing our usual chores, making sure to dust mop thoroughly, and use a bit of lemon oil on the furniture. She blamed the smell on the heat wave we were having. By the next day, I too could smell whatever it was that was fast eliminating the sweet scent of clean sheets and the lemon oil that was used only in the parlour! And that was the day my secret incubator was no longer a secret. “The stink is coming from our wash stand,” Audrey bellowed, as she ripped open the little drawer. Well, the smell just about bowled me over too. You didn’t have to be a university graduate to know what had

happened to the egg. In the heat, in the closed drawer, it had rotted beyond belief! My explanation did little to impress Audrey. She ordered me to wrap it in a pair of my underpants and take it outside and throw it as far away from the house as I could. I did as I was told, sad beyond belief that my try at hatching my very own chicken was a complete and total failure. My penalty was taking everything out of the wash stand, washing it with a bar of Lifebouy soap, used only by Father or the boys when they had to get rid of a bad smell, and tossing everything into the Monday’s wash. The drawer and the two doors at the bottom stood open for days, airing out. I was too young to know what had to happen to an egg before it would hatch. And my sister Audrey blamed me for her sudden dislike of scrambled eggs on a Sunday morning!

ger. I wasn’t smart enough to figure out that you didn’t have pets on a farm. They eventually ended up at the market or hanging in the smoke house behind the house. I refused to accept this, so I had a pet lamb, a pet calf, and Biddy, my pet chicken. The reason I adopted Biddy was that she stood out from the crowd. She didn’t have a feather on her body, unless you could call the little ring of white fuzz that circled her between her neck and her wings, feathers. And Biddy grew, as I knew she would. And then one day, she was nowhere to be found. I wouldn’t dare ask what happened to her, but I strongly suspected, since I fed her myself and she grew bigger and fatter than any other in the flock, she was the perfect candidate to be

In my half of the top drawer, which Audrey had divided with a wood ruler from Scott’s Hardware, I moved my underwear around and made a dent in one of my pairs of flour bag underpants, and gently put the egg in the folds. Then I covered it with more underwear, a vest and three pairs of ankle socks. It was well hidden, the washstand took the full blast of the sun all day long, and I figured I would soon have a replacement for Biddy. I knew it was important not to touch the egg while it was hatching, and so I used only the underpinnings on top of it. And the long wait for the egg to hatch began. I had no idea how long that would be, but every night I went to bed and silently prayed it wouldn’t pop open when we were asleep, and start to peep, sending my sister Audrey into a state of hysterics!

Laughter, love and a life of adventure key to a 70 year marriage Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

R0013438043.03

Even after seven decades of marriage, Phyllis and William McLachlin are hesitant to advise young couples on the secrets to a long and successful marriage. “Today’s a different world,” says Phyllis, just days before the couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on Aug. 27. “I don’t know if some people don’t grow up with the same set of values we did, whether that has a bearing on it.” Married in 1945 at the close of the Second World War, the McLachlins – who have lived in Ottawa’s Golden Triangle neighbourhood for about 15 years – are the first to admit they’ve had their ups and downs. And while patience, laughter and a penchant for keeping busy and living lives full of adventure have been

key, they also say trust has been important. “I think if a couple have trust in one another, that’s a big factor,” says Phyllis, who turns 90 this fall. “I can’t imagine being with someone you didn’t trust.” William was an air force radar technician and Phyllis was teaching in a one-room schoolhouse, when the couple first met. William, now 92, says it was likely love at first sight. “It must have been for me because, you see, I’d been on the island up in Newfoundland for a year or so,” says William, who was 19 at the time, while Phyllis was two years his junior, “Isolation, you might say,” Phyllis adds with a laugh. “We had no way out,” William says of his remote Newfoundland posting in 1942. “We had rotten food and no soft drinks or chocolate bars – nothing. The only thing we had for enter-

tainment was skiing. We played a lot of chess.” When William arrived at an air force station in Phyllis’ hometown of Tusket Falls, N.S., the couple was introduced by a man who had gone out with one of Phyllis’ sisters. “I just went in and said, ‘Are you Phyllis?’” he recalled. Their courtship included dances at the station and skating during the winter months. “We must have gone to Yarmouth

to go to a show,” he adds. But William’s air force career often meant leaving Phyllis behind. “I turned up like a bad weed every once and awhile,” he says, prompting a laugh from Phyllis. “I never stayed anywhere any length of time. The first thing I did when I got to a station was ask for a transfer. I just wanted to do more, see more.” He was eventually posted overseas in 1944, where he spent about seven months working at radar stations in

Devonshire, in southern England, and south Wales during the war. Before leaving, he proposed to Phyllis. “I gave her a ring. I had to tie her down,” he says with a twinkle in his eye. They wrote letters to each other throughout the separation. He returned to Canada and first visited his mother and siblings in Ottawa’s west end. He’d been planning to next head to Japan, but his tour was cancelled when the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Asian nation, ending the war. Though William wanted to stay in the air force, the military brass weren’t encouraging men to stay on after the fighting ended. “So that’s when I thought, ‘What could I do that’s dangerous?” he quips. “So I phoned (Phyllis) up and said, ‘What do you say we get married?” William was 22 and Phyllis had not yet turned 20 when they were married in a Baptist minister’s living room in 1945. Phyllis’ sister and her husband served as the witnesses. Their lives together have been characterized by one adventure after another. Phyllis went from teaching to being a stay-at-home mom to their two daughters, Deborah and Janet. Eventually, she went back to work as a secretary for high-ranking government officials in Ottawa. William, meanwhile, has had several careers. After leaving the air force, he went on to work for a power company, in the pulp and paper industry and eventually became a high school teacher. Age has never stopped them from realizing their dreams. William earned his first university degree at age 50, and Phyllis became accomplished in tai chi in her 80s. Their retirement has been just as full. Today, Phyllis maintains a busy schedule and regularly attends performances at the NAC. William is a regular at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre every fall where he represents the Montgomery branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, collecting donations in exchange for poppies. Health scares have done little to stem their enthusiasm for life and each other. William was given six months to a year to live after doctors told him they couldn’t operate to unblock an artery to his colon due to his advanced age. “That was two years ago,” he says. He and Phyllis just returned from a road trip to Nova Scotia, during which they shared in the driving. “Seventy years – it’s quite lovely, isn’t it?” Deborah says. “I think they love each other still,” she says when asked the secret to her parents’ successful marriage. “To ... still love each other and care about each other is wonderful. “When it works, it works.”

Ontario disability support not matching real-world costs: ACORN steph.willems@metroland.com

The real cost of keeping a roof over your head isn’t reflected in the housing allowance granted to disabled Ontarians, say disability activists. On Aug. 28, members of Ottawa ACORN staged a protest outside the Preston Street offices of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) to have their voices heard. Rising rents, coupled with food prices and utilities that rise even faster, are making proper lodging a rare luxury, they said. A single person on Ontario Works (OW) receives a $376 per month housing allowance, while a single person on ODSP collects $479 – numbers far less what an average one-bedroom apartment rents for in Ottawa. And, while the OW payment for families with two children rose by 1.55 percent

following the 2014 provincial budget, OW and ODSP for single people and ODSP for families didn’t rise. This all adds up to increasingly desperate people living in subpar and often dangerous housing, said ACORN member Gisele Bouvier. “What they end up doing is taking from their food budget, and even then, it will be to rent a slum,” said Bouvier, who isn’t on assistance but known people who are in that situation. “With disabilities, you never know in life what can happen. I’m fighting now – maybe it’s for myself.” Representatives from ACORN tried to secure a meeting with Ontario Communities and Social Services Minister Helena Jaczek , but never heard back after making the request by letter. Attempts to deliver another letter to ODSP representatives during the protest failed. Bouvier said that

ACORN’s recommendation, based on data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, states that the allowance would have to be increased 188 per cent for a single person, and 158 per cent for a family. Past increases have been sub-infla-

tionary, she said. “(1.55 percent) is just the cost of living - like the others, it’s likely based on the Consumer Price Index, which is really a false number, as it doesn’t take into consideration increases in food, energy and rent,” said Bouvier. “All it does is give a subsidy to slum landlords, because these people can’t find healthy homes.”

Ottawa Marriott steps up for CHEO Annual fundraiser part of worldwide initiative by hotel chain Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Shelley Ordorica, senior technologist at the CHEO-based Molecular Genetics Diagnostic Laboratory, holds a slide that can contain a DNA sample which can be inserted into nextgeneration gene sequencing machines, in back. The technology is allowing the lab to expand its range of testing for genes that cause weakened heart muscle, which can lead to sudden death.

Expanded genetics testing puts CHEO regional lab on map Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Inherited heart conditions carry a heavy toll in Canada, causing the deaths of more than 700 children and young people every year. But thanks to new sophisticated technology at the CHEO-based Molecular Genetics Diagnostic Laboratory, its team of specialists can now test and analyze more patient samples for cardiomyopathies, potentially deadly conditions that weaken heart muscle, affecting the organ’s ability to pump blood. “We actually look at 45 genes at once with this new testing,” said Shelley Ordorica, senior technologist at the lab, the only one in the province designated by the Ontario Ministry of Health to provide this new round of tests on these genes. “We just don’t know which one that could be involved in that patient,” she said. That’s where the lab’s newest next-generation gene sequencing machine, acquired earlier this year and put to work on July 2, comes in. If the patient tests positive, they can be followed closely

by their medical team, make lifestyle changes, such as limiting physical activity, and be prescribed medication if their symptoms progress. Family members can then be tested to determine whether they too have a similar gene mutation.

We actually look at 45 genes at once with this new testing. SHELLEY ORDORICA

“If they find that it’s not there, they find that their children are not at an increased risk. They don’t inherit the risk factor from mom or dad,” Ordorica said. “Or if they did inherit the risk factor, they can be followed up appropriately with specialists.” The new gene-sequencing technology is considered a game-changer, testing up to 45 genes at a time, each belonging to the DNA samples of 12 patients in 24 hours. “(With) the old technology instrument we would do one patient, five genes at a time,”

Ordorica said, adding the new capability means the regional lab is quickly developing into a centre of excellence in cardiac genetics. The lab is said to provide the most comprehensive menu of tests in Canada for inherited cardiomyopathies, receiving samples from around Ontario, as well as Quebec, Nunavut and B.C. By expanding the range of tests, the CHEO lab is able to analyze more samples from Ontario patients – from newborns to adults – which previously would have been tested at private labs in the U.S. The lab’s volume of cardiomyopathy testing has already almost doubled, from about a dozen samples a week to 20 samples. An estimated 400 families in Ontario are referred for genetic testing each year. “It’s definitely exciting,” Ordorica said. “We’re definitely growing quite quickly.” While the new gene-sequencer machines are currently earmarked for cardiomyopathies, there is potential to expand their use. In fact, the team began using their sequencing technology to test for thoracic aortic aneurysm on Sept. 1.

The weather might have been rainy, but the bidding was red hot on Sparks Street on Aug. 27. The Marriott Hotel took over a portion of Sparks Street near Kent that day for its annual CHEO fundraiser, holding a silent and live auction for a number of items and packages. This was the 13th year for the Ottawa Marriott Miracles for CHEO event, which had a goal of $20,000. Worldwide, the hotel chain holds annual fundraisers for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit that funds children’s hospitals, medical research and awareness of children’s health issues. “Locally, the biggest benefactor (of the Network) is CHEO,” said Marriott Ottawa general manager Daniel Laliberté, who explained that other fundraisers throughout the year push the hotel’s CHEO dona-

The hospital relies heavily

on community funding to keep its services up-to-date amid rising demand. The CHEO Foundation, which formed in 1974 in the hope of seeing a new children’s hospital built, collected $4 million to begin construction on the facility. Steady donations from businesses such as the Marriott bolster the proceeds from annual campaigns organized by the Foundation.

Database links Parkinson’s patients to more supports, services Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

When Andrei Fantaneanu was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 41, he was more relieved than devastated, having finally been given answers about his health. Over the past 15 years, the Riverside South resident has tried different medications, treatments and clinical trials to slow the symptoms associated with the degenerative movement disorder, for which there is no cure. Providing Parkinson’s patients with more comprehensive care, in part, spurred the development of the new Integrated Parkinson’s Care Network, the Ottawa Hospital’s one-stop database of privately and publicly funded supports and services that are available in the region. “The idea is because Parkinson’s really can affect so many different things in somebody’s life, it’s really just not possible for the physicians or the nurses who see the patient during a regular clinic visit to handle everything,” said Fantaneanu’s medical specialist, Dr. David Grimes, who is director of the Parkinson’s Dis-

DR. DAVID GRIMES/SUBMITTED

Dr. David Grimes, director of the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Clinic at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus, will be speaking during an upcoming public lecture at uOttawa about a new integrated database that helps connect Parkinson’s patients with more supports and services. ease and Movement Disorder Clinic at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus. Since its launch in July, Fantaneanu has already accessed the network twice and

through it learned about a clinic that may help him with balance issues he has been trying to cope with. “I think it’s a great idea because this way we can find

out about services that are not advertised or found on the Internet,” said Fantaneanu, 56. “When you go to this service offered by the Ottawa Hospital, you go to a knowledgeable person who knows your file and you can state your program. “Then they can indicate to you the right service.” Through the network, a new co-ordinator hired earlier this year assesses the patient’s needs, develops a care plan and presents them with services that could help, including community- and hospitalbased supports, clinical studies and support, from clinics that help people who fall, and geriatric care to psychiatry care and physiotherapy. “Where this idea stemmed from was that sort of the holy grail of treatment of a complex disease is a multi-disciplinary clinic,” said Grimes, who will be speaking about the network during a series of public lectures at the University of Ottawa during Brain Health Awareness Week, Sept. 14 to 19. “A patient comes in and sees the physiotherapist, they see an occupational therapist, they see a pharmacist, they

have a social worker, a surgeon, you have a psychiatrist, and you have this big multidisciplined clinic.” One such clinic in Markham had to close two years ago because the Ontario government didn’t continue funding it, said Grimes. The network may serve as the next best thing. “Do we need to have everything in-house? And I think the answer, in my mind, is no,” he said. “I think we can’t expect the government to provide every bit of our health care as much as we’d like them to.” The network is currently only available to patients at the Civic-based clinic, which specializes in complex and advanced cases as well as Parkinson’s in people under the age of 40. Grimes has treated patients as young as 12. The idea is to offer the service to newly diagnosed patients, and one day make it available to patients beyond the clinic. There are an estimated 7,000 to 10,000 Parkinson’s patients in the clinic’s coverage area, which includes Ottawa, Kingston, Cornwall and the Ottawa Valley. “Over the next year, we will get a really good sense

of how the program is going to look in the future and are we going to need more people (and) what’s the cost of that,” Grimes said. The network is currently being financed for one year by a $60,000 grant from the University of Ottawa Brain and Mind Research Institute and a $30,000 grant from the Ottawa Hospital’s Parkinson’s Research Consortium.

Annual Parkinson SuperWalk returns to Britannia Park Sept. 12 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Defeating an enemy takes the help of allies, and curing a disease is no different. Since the formation of Parkinson Society Canada 50 years ago, hundreds of thousands of people have raised

millions towards finding a cure. To achieve this goal, the organization’s largest annual fundraiser will be coming back to Britannia Park on Sept. 12. The Parkinson SuperWalk is the society’s only national event, and is now in its 25th year. The Ottawa event, organized by the Parkinson Society

of Eastern Ontario (PSEO), has been joined in recent years by upstart SuperWalks in Renfrew, Brockville, and Cornwall. Last year’s SuperWalk saw more than 600 participants take part, pushing Eastern Ontario’s tally to $192,000. Nationwide, 14,000 people in 115

cities helped raise $2.9 million towards ending Parkinson’s. Despite the 25th anniversary, organizers are keeping the structure of the Ottawa event similar to previous years because the simplicity and structure works, said Shaunna Quinn, special events and fundraising coordinator for PSEO.

“We try to keep things pretty similar in each location,” said Quinn. “The Ottawa location is bigger (than other Eastern Ontario locales), and there’s more to see and do there. The aim everywhere is to bring people in communities together and raise funds for Parkinson’s.” What makes the SuperWalk

especially attractive for someone looking to join is the ease of registering. Participants can sign up at any time, up to and including the morning of the event, with online registration at www.Parkinson SuperWalk.ca. Participants can pledge to walk one or three kilometres in support of a cure, but because many participants have Parkinson’s themselves, finishing the walk doesn’t really matter, said Quinn. “It’s as far as you want,” she said. “We don’t want to push people to complete the walk – it depends on the individual. What’s more important is uniting as a community.” This year’s event will lead off with a pipe and drum band, with Disney princesses and the league of superheroes to get everyone in a buoyant mood. Late registration begins at 9 a.m. at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre. The walk starts at 10:30 a.m.

The Les Paul is one of the best-known solid body electric guitars in the world and one of them is now missing. And it’s not just any Les Paul guitar but a 1957 Les Paul Junior owned by Canadian Juno-nominated singer Kathleen Edwards. It was stolen from her Stittsville home, causing Edwards to take to Facebook on Thursday, Aug. 27 to launch an appeal for its return. “If the guitar is returned, I can accept a “no questions asked” agreement. Whether that means the guitar is returned to my business, Quitters coffee, to my home or through a mutual acquaintance, I can accept a foolish drunken teenage lapse of judgment, a momentary hiccup in your moral being,” she wrote on her Facebook post about the theft of the guitar from her home. The post attracted over 20,000 shares and 4,000 likes within less than a day. Although she did not explain when the theft of the guitar happened, she did say that it probably happened by someone entering through an unlocked back door of her home and walking out with the guitar. Edwards notes in her Facebook post that the guitar will not be easy for a theft to unload because such a valuable and well known guitar brand is easily recognizable. It also has an identifiable serial number. “You won’t be able to play it in front of people,” Edwards wrote. “It will draw attention, someone will notice. People who buy and sell valuable in-

struments know exactly what they are and when they are stolen.” Gibson Les Paul guitars have been made since 1952, designed largely by American guitarist Les Paul who is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the solid body electric guitar which was the instrument most associated with early rock and roll music. The Les Paul guitar has been produced in countless versions and editions since 1952 and the guitar is used by many musicians in genres ranging from rock to rhythm and blues and jazz to punk to heavy metal. The Les Paul Junior model debuted in 1954, targeted at that time for beginning or student guitarists. This initial Les Paul Junior was characterized by a flat top “slab” mahogany body finished in sunburst. It had a single pickup, simple volume and tone controls, an unbound rosewood fingerboard with plain dot shape position markers and a combination bridge/tailpiece unit. Les Paul, who was born in 1915 and died in 2009, is credited with many recording innovations. His personal playing style included innovative movements and his fame is such that he is honoured with a permanent stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is the only person to be in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. The Gibson Les Paul, one of the world’s most popular electric guitars, was inspired by Paul’s own innovative guitar called “The Log” which was one of the first solid-body

electric guitars. Various models of Gibson Les Paul guitars are used all over the world by both professional and novice guitarists. Kathleen Edwards, who was born in 1978, is a Canadian folk and alternative country singer and songwriter who started performing in 1999 and has four albums to her credit. She has appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and has been nominated numerous times for Juno Awards, Canada’s top music awards. These include 2013 nominations for Songwriter of the Year and for Adult Alternative Album of the Year. Last October she opened Quitters coffee shop on Stittsville Main Street, taking a break from the extensive touring which she had been doing. She is still performing as last Saturday she performed at the Greenbelt Harvest Picnic at the Christie Lakes Conservation Area in Dundas, ON, joining the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Martha Wainwright and Basia Bulat. Last February Kathleen Edwards’ coffee shop, Quitters, won the New Business of the Year Award for the Goulbourn/West Carleton area in the annual People’s Choice Business Awards held by the West Ottawa Board of Trade. In her acceptance remarks at the People’s Choice Business Awards gala at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata, Edwards touted the value of community, noting that she had toured the world singing for 15 years but that community was missing from her life at that time. Then she arrived in Stittsville and found community, she said.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet others’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed. Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts. Reexamine your approach. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right. 0903
